BMW clutch plate with flat head screws.
When i took the transmission out of our donor bike (the one with the broken rod), i was a bit surprised when i saw the clutch plate screwed in with flat head screws. Typically they have hex-head screws. I guess BMW did this on the /2 models and some of the bikes leading into the very early 70s. Seeing this also made me wonder if this bike was still on it's first clutch, 40 years later.
R75/5 engine. Clutch plate with flat head screws.
I tried like crazy to get these screws out. I tried with big screw drivers, screw tips in a ratchet, an air impact drill…and i got nowhere. Only frustrated.
I ordered an impact driver set that comes with a thick flat-head screw bit.
I twisted the driver while whacking it and it took 3 screws out very easily. The other 3 put up a challenge… so out came the propane torch. The the 4th came out easy. The 5th took a bit more work… and well, the 6th…it gave me a nasty blood blister but i finally got it.
I probably spent a total of 1.5 hours or more removing this freaking clutch and flywheel. But i loved every minute of it.
While i was cutting up the headlight ears, i figured i might as well start trimming and fitting the fenders.
I hope to add some sort of rear fender under the seat to protect all the road grime and pebbles from getting kicked up into the engine area. On one of the donor bikes we acquired, the rear fender had the typical cracks where the mounting points are. But that damage was at the rear mounting points. I'm glad i held onto it because i realized that the two front mounting points have good fiberglass still. I cut the fender down and started fitting it under the seat and with the battery relocation kit.
Typical fiberglass crack on these old fenders.
It breaks my heart to cut up a brand new fender like this… but i definitely don't want or need the massive size of the stock fender. So… off goes a few inches. I'll let the person who preps this for paint do all the clean up and round the edges.
Chopped up. The edges still need to be rounded and cleaned up.
I received a San Jose billet machined upper Triple Clamp the other day. I also went on e-bay and got some headlight ears without the giant holes in the side for the reflectors commonly seen on the /5 BMWs. I believe these headlight ears are from a mid 70's /6 bmw.
The solid-sided headlight ears will definitely be a cleaner look.
In order to adapt the much more rigid, and better looking fork brace, about .65 inches need to be trimmed from the top of the headlight ears.
San Jose Upper Triple Clamp - My other one is equally scratched. But looks better/or worse at certain angles. It must be the machining process. I don't think i want to powder coat this. The bare alloy looks nice despite the scratches.
Headlight ears and tripple clamp. The ear on the right shows the trimmed piece. The ear on the left illustrates the line for cutting.
I did a quick silver rattle can spray of the headlight ears and roughly threw together the front end to test fit everything.
Also, most aftermarket handlebars are 7/8 sized bars. BMW bars are 22mm which required shaving out the inside of the handlebar clamps for a better fit. Everything seems to fit nicely. She's gonna be one fine silver beast.
Test assembly of the forks, triple clamp, headlight ears, and handle bar clamps.
It almost makes me want another one! in Inka!
Regardless, it is a great piece on the BMW 2002.

Nice to see that the French and Germans can work together. But like many french films, lots of eye candy and i'm not sure i get the point.
The photography is amazing though.
Blitz R60/2 – The great Escape from Hush on Vimeo.
She's mighty naked. i gave her a quick rattle can paint on the frame to get an idea of what a silver frame will look like. The wheels are out getting the bearings removed and then i will de-lace them… so i can get the hubs powder coated. I'll slap another set of wheels on there in the meantime.
–Trim down a rear fender so you can barely notice it yet it will protect the bike's frame innards from getting crap kicked up into it.
–Trim the headlight ears for a Billet upper fork brace modification.
Order some rear sets and weld a reinforcement plate to connect the rear sets to (near the passenger peg location).
It feels like Christmas. New rims and mufflers.
Not to much build progress has happened on the Cafe bike lately. However, i have gone on a bit of a shopping spree.
In the mail, i got some pleasant packages from across the pond in Europe.
The gentleman i am building the bike for wanted to steer clear of all the traditional exhaust. I couldn't agree more and wish i could take credit for his idea. Though it will complicate the build process, i am more then willing to take on the task. After some hunting, we discovered some pipes from a R12 BMW motorcycle. The R12's were made in the 30s and 40s by BMW… and have completely different dimensions of a 70's BMW pipe size and mounting region… but adapting it is all part of the fun!
But then the mother load came!
nice wrapping job! definitely like chirstmas!
Wheels! Wheedo! I ordered a set for my bike too (one rim is back ordered)… and hot damn, they sure look SWEET!
Yep! That's what we ordered. Spain's Akronts... via England.

Future Snapshots – A 25-Year Outlook
How Might Our World Change in the Next 25 Years?

How might key aspects of our world evolve in the next 25 years and what could this mean for humanity?
The notion of what constitutes a very human future might evolve quite dramatically over the next 25 years. Over that period, many different fields of science and technology will progress at an exponential rate or faster and combine to create currently unimaginable possibilities. At the same time, we will see these developments have a dramatic impact on and be influenced by the complex interactions of societal norms and behaviors, economic thinking, geo-politics, and notions of business, work, and employment. Here we explore some snapshot scenarios of how these factors might all play out and interact over the next 25 years.
The Stuff of Life
Artificial Living—Unless there's a dramatic slowdown or reversal in technological progress, it is reasonable to suggest that artificial intelligence (AI) will permeate our lives and our world. The technology will be in use across every aspect of society from healthcare and education to entertainment and financial services. Smart systems could manage our social lives, help us select the ideal partners for dating, marriage, and reproduction, monitor our health in liaison with our doctors, and personalize our education so content is delivered in the way we learn best.
The technology will likely be making legal decisions in court, determining our benefit payments, fact checking politicians, and powering the transport sector. For some, AI will be seen to be uplifting humanity and creating powerful new possibilities to enhance life and the way it is lived. For others, the concern will be that technology has stripped us of identity, purpose, agency, and privacy.
Aging—Science and technology advances associated with human longevity mean that people are expected to be living longer and healthier lives than ever before. Experts believe that organs will be regenerated in vitro and implanted with 100% success rates, similar to plugging new devices into 20th-century computers. Unlimited stem cells could be used to grow or repair any type of organ, in vitro or in situ. Transplant rejection should no longer be an issue, and with the exception of the brain, literally all of our organs should be replaceable by new synthetic, grown or printed ones.
Intelligent nano-robots could help with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases at any age, including pre-birth surgery. They will be able to read from and write into our biology. They should also be able to detect and destroy neoplasms, thus holding out the prospect of defeating cancer forever. Similar to nano-robots, the expectation is that bio-computers will be inoculated into the human body to perform complex tasks, for instance sensing and monitoring the status of organs or repairing tissues and organs in real time.
Artificial Wombs—Within the next 25 years it may be possible to prevent preterm mortality in infants by use of artificial wombs that provide all the conditions required to safely achieve full development and birth of a fetus. This technology would at first be used to save at-risk pregnancies but may over time become a reproductive technology available to consumers interested in having a baby without pregnancy.
Countering Antibiotic Failure—Many pathogens are gaining immunity to the antibiotic medicines available today. Without antibiotics, common illness and medical procedures, even pregnancy and childbirth, could become life endangering events. In the next 25 years, is it possible that we will experience "the end of antibiotics" as suggested by the World Health Organization in 2016? Fortunately, the microbial threat is being met with advanced drug development, allowing medical researchers to explore new approaches to fight superbugs. New strategies on the horizon range from genetic modification of germs and implantable semiconductors through to the discovery of new antibacterial agents in soil.
Transhumanism—Over the next 25 years, Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) and bio-medicine could fundamentally improve the human condition and greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. As a result, the notion of the "transhuman" could emerge. For example, the augmentation of human beings' cognitive and intellectual abilities through technological implants, such as memory storage, is a process that is well underway already. These enhancements mean humans could achieve heightened senses and biological capabilities that are so far the prerogative of other species (e.g. speed, resistance, adaptation to extreme conditions, etc.). Conversely, future cyborgs and soft robots could be built out of biological components. For some this is simply the next stage in our evolution and the ultimate way to preserve humanity. For others there are a variety of concerns around the moral and religious implications of such developments. There are also questions of who might be able to afford such augmentations and the further polarization of society.
Sustaining Humanity
Water—As climate change continues to alter rainfall patterns worldwide, water may become an increasingly scarce resource. Regions with the financial capital may be able to invest in the latest microfiltration technologies, thus allowing constant recycling of waste water into drinkable water. Desalination plants may be the solution in arid regions along coastlines. Hopefully, as technology improves, and costs fall, the issues associated with desalination, namely high energy usage and residual salt, could be resolved to such a degree that coastal regions all over the world would be able to afford desalination. Access to plentiful clean water could have dramatic impacts on health, migration patterns, agriculture, and even interstate conflicts.
Agricultural Disruption and a Food Revolution—Within the next 25 years every aspect of the food ecosystem we know could change. The food chain will undergo a major transformation led by AI. Fruits and vegetables might be grown in buildings controlled by AI rather than on farms, meat could be cloned, and we might see widespread consumption of 3D printed food. Food innovation will see the rise of vertical farming and lab grown meat. Hydroponic plants, fruits, and vegetables might change agriculture as we know it, and help revolutionize the food industry. Population growth and city expansions are having major consequences, driving a lack of growing space and food in many parts of the world. The growing global population will force us to find creative solutions. Having AI-controlled hydroponic vertical farms on the sides of buildings might be one of the solutions.
Artificial Meat—In-vitro cloned meat could be another future solution to our food supply problems. While lab grown meat may still face many challenges, such as flavor control, it also has many advantages such as less waste, less risk of viruses, reduced space requirements, lower emissions, and reduced environmental impacts, among others. These benefits seem to outweigh the disadvantages and drawback of traditionally reared livestock. The idea of artificial meat might disturb us, nonetheless this solution seems to be finding its way into our diets.
Technology in Service of Humanity
Smarter Money—By combining the power of AI and blockchain, the concept of money could evolve into electronic tokens with far more types of assets tradeable within the one "currency." For example, we might earn tokens from our employment, as rewards from retailers and airlines, and as micro-credits for completing workplace training, school learning tasks, or community service actions. Instead of simply liking a track from a musician, we could now make a micro-payment to them with a fraction of a token. State or community funded tokens could also be given to acknowledge the value of the tasks undertaken by family members performing home care tasks that have traditionally gone unrewarded such as caring for children, the elderly, and the ill. This evolution from cash and cryptocurrencies toward a universal means of exchange could mean the end of cash and foreign exchange markets. Broadening the means of paying for goods and services could allow people to realize the full value of their various dormant assets, such as airline loyalty points, and help address social exclusion.
Art, Sciences, and Humanities—The challenges facing humanity are revealing themselves as increasingly global and highly interconnected. The next few decades should give us the tools to start mastering this complexity in terms of a deeper understanding, but also in terms of policy and action with more predictability of impacts. This will result from a combination of an exponentially increasing volume of data from various sources of evidence (smart grids, mobility data, sensor data, socio-economic data) along with the rise of AI, dynamic modeling, and new visualization, analysis, and synthesis techniques (like narrative). It will also rely on a new alliance between science and society.
Hyperconnectivity—The prevailing connectivity scenario that underpins most government, business, and technology sector thinking for the next 25 years is that the internet and its distributed successors will continue to expand as global connectors, enabled by advances in underlying technologies (e.g. blockchain, transmission protocols, photonic networks, quantum and organic computing, etc.) and by the need to support more and more sophisticated application scenarios bridging the physical and virtual worlds instantaneously. The complexity and significance of the internet should increase dramatically as we move to the new era of nano sensors and devices, and of virtual spaces and 3D social networks exchanging zillions of bytes of data every day.
Media Evolution—Social media and its successors will continue the process of replacing traditional editorial media as the dominant news and information platform over the next 25 years. The evidence is already accumulating: people like to curate their own lives through social media. As new cohorts of youth enter the digital arena, they become ever-more expert in creating their own user-generated content—dramatizing and exploiting it through social media. Scarcity of attention means less time for editorial media and fewer resources allocated to it. The means of delivery will also expand to include personalized content in multiple media and potentially event direct uploads to our brains. For many, this evolution is seen as a process of democratizing creation and access and breaks the control of those who would seek to dictate what news and content we consume. Others will remain concerned over fake news, bias, and the potential for reader manipulation.
Business, Work, and Talent
New Production Models—In 20-30 years the world's economy may change significantly, driven by the advent of new technological and societal innovations and the industries they enable. Advanced robotics, AI, automation, and smart manufacturing could bring most of today's production back to a local sustainable dimension. Continued evolution of 3D and 4D printers should make possible the self-production of many consumer items like clothes or furniture. Ultimately, only large artifacts (e.g. aircraft) may still be produced in centralized plants.
Cradle-to-Grave Work and Play—In 20-30 years, healthcare advances should enable people to work throughout their extended lifespan and change jobs according to varying personal needs and aspirations. The idea of the steady, permanent job is predicted to become a relic of the 20th century. Under such a scenario, perhaps only a minority of the population will still experience linear/sequential life cycles (i.e. study – job – family – retirement). We could see a situation where health and wellbeing have improved to such an extent that citizens could do what they like, irrespective of their age. Technology is expected to continue transforming the very nature of work and the dynamics of organizations and labor markets. For instance, part-time work, teleworking, virtual meetings etc. may become common practices at all levels long before 2050.
Learning—The future education and learning landscape will be characterized by an increased "blurring of boundaries" between the different levels and directions of education, between schools, higher education, and industry. This evolving education ecosystem should provide greater flexibility in designing educational pathways tailored to individual needs and combining several education modalities into a lifelong and stimulating learning experience. Technology is increasingly supporting new forms of learning, for instance using virtual spaces and enhanced classrooms for experimentation and full immersion in learning settings not achievable otherwise. Over time these will likely include ever-more powerful simulations, intelligent conversational agents, and brain-to-machine or even brain-to-brain interfaces.
The Global Agenda
Global Governance—The current outlook for many observers and analysts is dominated by the hard and soft tensions that surround us, ranging from long-standing military conflicts and terrorism through to trade wars and sanctions. However, many shifts are possible in a 25-year time frame. Societies could be characterized by continuous interplay between individual and collective interests—potentially leading to tensions between two opposing models: 1) a society where only a few decide for all, either as elected representatives, or because new forms of oligarchic power emerge to exert societal manipulation; and 2) a society with neither classes nor hierarchies, characterized by participatory leadership and new forms of "chaordic" organization, where all have the possibility to co-decide on most if not all issues that matter to them.
Asia Rising—Looking at the development of the Asian market, we can expect that within 25 years world economic and industrial leadership will have passed to China and India. The growth of China and other Asian economies will continue to outstrip more developed nations and see Asian nations establish themselves as the driving force of the world economy rather than the USA and European countries.
Global People and Power—In the coming 20-30 years, our increasingly hyperconnected and immersive lives should enable people to be more empowered than ever to share knowledge, become aware of their environment, and take informed and responsible decisions. Such developments will allow us all to become active players in the global scene. New platforms for social networking could allow citizens to self-organize into communities that emerge as new powers able to exert influence and address shared problems in a more structured, responsible, and concurrent manner.
Societal Infrastructures
City Powerhouses—A number of cities will grow into megacities, which have the potential to be highly vascularized by eco-friendly and energy-sustainable transportation modes and filled with new dwellings and buildings made from innovative construction materials. If current trends continue, then all elements of the city will be connected to a higher supra-network, the future internet, on which a whole new service-economy would thrive—the so-called "internet of everyone." In this vision, cities throughout Europe would compete among each other as places to be, developing their own forms of participatory citizenship to drive a continuous co-creation of the cityscape and its multi-cultural social fabric.
Autonomous City Centers—Following increasingly widely invoked policy moves to ban petrol and diesel fueled vehicles from city centers in the coming years, the same could happen with manually driven cars. We are entering an era that will be marked by exponential innovation changing ideas of asset ownership, delivering radical leaps forward in AI, providing increasingly efficient electric propulsion units for vehicles, and enabling the emergence of genuinely smart city infrastructures. These relatively smooth transitions should lead to other changes in cities, including the removal of redundant traffic signals and the remodeling of some street intersections. The clear benefits for humanity here would include cleaner, more livable, safer cities.
Autonomous Commuter Trains—Overground and subway/metro commuter services are now fully automated in many cities. At busier stations and at peak travel times, train staff supervise the safety of passengers at the station, but the trains themselves are fully autonomous with AI systems driving the train and monitoring passengers. As yet, long distance express trains retain on-board crews, although much like civilian aircraft, the drivers' roles are to supervise the systems and provide on-board customer service. The move to autonomous trains might allow for a more predictable service that wouldn't be affected by issues such as staff illness or recruitment issues. Others might be concerned that this is another development that will see net job loss.
Autonomous Cargo Aircraft—While most passengers are skeptical about an autonomous plane ride to their destination in the sun, cargo has no such qualms. While regulations allow the operation of autonomous aircraft for cargo purposes, they are still operated between specialist cargo hub airports, separate from passenger traffic. There would of course be serious implications for those who lose their jobs. One view is that the move to autonomous cargo might help free up trained pilots to service the expected growth of passenger demand for air transport and the associated shortage of flight crew. Clearly many would also be concerned about the environmental impacts of an overall growth in aviation.
The First 3D Printed Moon Base—Following a series of missions in the coming years to create an autonomous 3D accommodation manufacturing facility on the Moon's surface, the facility should be ready within 25 years. The Moon base would support greater and more extensive autonomous and human exploration of the Moon's surface and serve as a base for onward missions to deep space. There are an increasing number of people raising concerns over the Earth's capacity to sustain a growing population and over the potentially irrevocable environmental damage that results from human activity. Some see the establishment of settlements on other planets as a way of reducing the pressures here on Earth and providing alternative habitats for humanity. Some might see these as only accessible by the ultra-wealthy.
Scenarios as a Tool of Dialogue and Exploration
Stepping ahead 25 years allows us to break the shackles of current assumptions and constraining beliefs to explore new possibilities and stimulate constructive dialogue. In many cases those scenarios posit a better future for most of humanity. However, there are a number from the use of AI to transhumanism which will polarize views, and in many cases, it is hard to see a coming together on one global perspective. Indeed, there are relatively few issues today where we could claim global support for a particular desired future.
Which scenarios offer the most positive outlook for humanity from your perspective?
How can citizens best engage in shaping the future when so many of the developments and shaping factors seem to lie out of our control?
What new global mechanisms might be required to steer a future path that protects the interests of people and the planet?

Berkeley to ban junk food in checkout aisles
Thread starter swing_voter

'Murica
Many Americans can relate to the tempting, passing glances at the colorful assortment of confections while waiting in line at the grocery store. But one city in Northern California is making a move to help people resist the unhealthy urges at checkout in favor of healthier options.
The Berkeley City Council unanimously approved a Healthy Checkout Ordinance at its meeting on Tuesday that will be reviewed next month.
Berkeley set to become 1st US city to ban junk food in grocery store checkout aisles
The Berkeley City Council approved a measure to remove candy from the checkout lanes at grocery stores.
If you have kids, you know what a hassle it is to get to the checkout and have all those sweets and chips within arms reach.
Berkeley is a left wing town. Do you support this kind of regulation?
An Uncertain Person
Sounds kind of like mandated speech. I don't support that. Should we ban tabloids at the checkout too, because they're full of fantastical lies?

Sit Nomine Digna
I think it is a good move for the same reason it is a good idea to heavily regulate advertising towards children.
Russian warship, go f*** yourself!
swing_voter said:
When I had kids I never took them into the grocery store but I noticed that the Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms were on shelves four feet high in the cereal aisle.
I think advertising to kids ought to be watched carefully but I don't support this kind of regulation.

Nope, especially since the basis for the law is the (racist?) alleged lack of impulse control by people of color.
I survived. Suck it, Schrodinger.
No; but I do not rely on the government to be a parent to my children....thats my responsibility.
That being said, the city council was elected by the residents of Berkley, and they deserve what they voted for.

I'm fine with it. It's actually more of a loss for the stores because it will curb the impulse buying or kids throwing tantrums when they aren't allowed their m&ms. If a person wants a candy bar simply walk to where they are and get it. Problem solved.

Democratic politicians voting they will dictate what food you may and may not eat? Sure, that is what the new fascist Democratic Party is all about - total control of ever second of every peasant's life.

As someone who has had an addiction and then broken it, this will not help. You must use a willpower to resist the temptation and this should be something we train our kids. It needs to be sitting right there where you can take it and purchase it if you want because it always is. You can go into the convenience store you can go to a candy store get all the junk food you want. Also there's a lot of junk food and food that's bad for you that's actually marketed as health food.
I think what we should be doing as a society is more along the lines of extoling of virtues of willpower and how everyone is capable of it. And how we need to teach that skill to our children.

Good point. Why not just ban the sales a junk food completely. It's too much to ask someone to resist it while they're checking out but not when they're walking down the potato chip aisle?

All of that shelving is required by food manufacturers and is designed to be eye level to a child sitting in a cart.

Why should the government be allowed to tell anybody where they can and can't place candy bars for the convenience of their customers? That does not sound like a function the government should be performing.
Reactions: ttwtt78640
JMR said:
When people are children that is the absolute best time to learn willpower and moderation. It should be something parents instill in their children.
Look at the reaction to covid-19. I'm willing to bet far more people have died from complications of diabetes and heart disease and high blood pressure then will ever die of covid-19 in the United States. But we're expected to play a part why is that expectation too much to ask when you're in the grocery store with your child? They don't want to wear masks they don't want to wash their hands but we make them do it. Something good that will come from this is there will be a lot more people with better hygiene because the expectation was there. It's not too much to expect people eat junk food in moderation.
What happens when these people that have grown up in this City walk going to the store outside of it. The behavior to want that stuff is still there. The impulse doesn't go away simply because you couldn't act on it at that particular point in time.
joko104 said:
Heaven forbid a person has to walk to the candy aisle of a store to get candy.

I don't agree with it. I don't need a nanny in the grocery store and if you can't resist it, that's on you.

Heaven forbid a person can't control themselves.
Reactions: Bum
i don't really care one way or the other. if they want to do that, cool. if another town doesn't want to do it, cool. what i don't support is sin taxes on soda. too regressive.
Checkerboard Strangler
Meat with eyes!
All the same stuff will STILL BE totally available everywhere else in the supermarket.
Berkely is working on psychological COUNTER-MEASURES.
You do realize that placing all that junk IN the checkout aisle is indeed a psychological measure, yes?
So, this is a counter-measure.
So if you want the junk food, I am sure there will be no shortage of end caps (displays at the end of an aisle, usually cardboard)
and I am sure the aisles themselves will be generously stocked AND MARKED...said marking being a counter-counter-measure.
It is a city ordinance. I think cities are allowed to pass ordinances still, yes?
Then next time let Berkeley vote in the overweight junk food junkies and they can pave the floor with chocolate bars. Stores use marketing gimics all the time to squeeze any extra penny out of consumers that they can and this curbs that power play. I'm not an impulse buyer but I do watch parents having to fight with kids who see the candy so of course they want it.
When I read this yesterday I already knew there would be crying because it's what some people do. Ooooh I have to take 10 extra steps for a snickers!!! Then there are the impulse buyers or parents who say thank you!
holbritter said:
We already know many can't. That's a given. And if they can't control themselves they'll get their junk food just like always. At the same time it will save impulse buyers and parents $.
Checkerboard Strangler said:
Exactly. It's like stores that completely rearrange their aisles during the year. They don't do that because the products were bored with their location. It's a way to make people who walk a routine in the store suddenly needing to search around and create a new routine which often leads to impulse buying. Some stores even cattleherd people a certain direction upon entry so even if you came in for mayo, you're forced to pass produce, bread and bakery before you can get to that mayo. If a person grabs the impluse stuff on the way then the stores strategy has worked.
I agree with you that it is a psychological measure button then again the entire store is. From the color of the floor, to the layout of the store to the music that they play in the store. I think it's more important to know when you're being manipulated and to be able to resist it so that these measures won't work. Because the second somebody else comes into office they can change it and do right back to where you started. But if you're aware of the game and it doesn't work on you it doesn't matter if you're in a grocery store in Berkeley California or Wisconsin or Bangladesh. You are in control.
I don't think it's wrong for them to try and come up with a counter measure I just think it's not as good as knowing better
Reactions: Checkerboard Strangler
So isn't it better to have willpower. That way it doesn't matter how they change up the store layout or the strategy you're able to resist.


Fr. Thomas Isaac Hecker, C.S.P., founder of the Paulist Fathers has been names a "Servant of God." The first step in the process of canonization.
Isaac Thomas Hecker was born in New York City on December 18, 1819, the third son and youngest child of John and Caroline (Freund) Hecker. Ordained a Redemptorist priest in 1849, he founded the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle in New York on July 7, 1858. The society was established to evangelize both believers and non-believers in order to convert North America to the Roman Catholic Church. Father Hecker sought to evangelize Americans using the popular means of his day, primarily preaching, the public lecture circuit and the printing press. He founded the monthly publication, "The Catholic World," in 1865.
Father Hecker's spirituality centered on the action of the Holy Spirit upon the soul and the need to remain attentive to the prompting of the Spirit in the great and small moments of life. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Father Hecker labored to establish a dialogue between faith and culture, which he believed would lead to an American Catholicism whose vitality and optimism would transform the world.
In the latter years of his life, Father Hecker suffered with dark nights of the soul that varied in intensity; this was combined with the physical problems of a weak heart and leukemia. While emotionally and physically overcome at moments, Father Hecker remained faithful through his sure belief in the Holy Spirit.
"God is now visiting me with the profoundest desolation of spirit. Yet I never knew that God would permit me to come so near to Him and love Him as I have," Father Hecker wrote.
On December 22, 1888, as the Paulist community gathered around his bed in prayer, Father Hecker raised his hand, making the Sign of the Cross in blessing, and died.
The following summary describes the steps involved in the canonical procedure or causes of beatification and canonization as set forth in the Apostolic Constitution Divinus Perfectionis Magister, promulgated by Pope John Paul II on January 25, 1983.
The bishop of the diocese in which the candidate died is responsible for beginning the cause. A postulator is a church official who presents a plea for beatification or canonization of a particular candidate. The postulator acts on behalf of a promoter group that has formally requested the bishop to open an investigation into the cause of the candidate. The promoter group may be a diocese, a parish, a religious congregation, or a religious association.
Consideration of the proposed candidate by investigating the candidate's life and writings for evidence of heroic virtue (the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, and the cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude). Documents and information are gathered. At this stage in the process, the candidate may beg given the title Servant of God.
After the diocesan investigation is completed, the documentation is forwarded to the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints. A panel of theologians and cardinals from this Vatican congregation evaluates the candidate's life. When sufficient information an evidence have been obtained, the congregation may recommend to the pope that he make a proclamation of the Servant of God's heroic virtue and declare the candidate Venerable, meaning that he or she is a role model of Catholic virtues.
The next step, beatification, requires a miracle that has resulted from prayers to the candidate and the candidate's subsequent intercession. An official Church investigation is done to evaluate the legitimacy of the miracle. When the miracle has been declared authentic, the candidate is given the title Blessed.

New Zealand aid policy mystifies Pacific civil society groups
2:51 pm on 3 April 2013
One of the organisations directly affected by the changes made in New Zealand's approach to foreign aid spending several years ago, says the new policy has affected this country's credibility in the Pacific.
When Murray McCully became Foreign Affairs Minister, he shifted the focus of aid spending from poverty alleviation to sustainable economic development.
The approach has attracted a lot of criticism, from academics, NGOs and the media..
Last month Suva based Islands Business said most Pacific leaders see the change as a bad move and suggested the aid process is muddled and opaque.
A spokesperson for the Pacific Islands Association for Non Government Organisations, or PIANGO, Emele Duituturaga, says her body has secured new funding after losing New Zealand backing, and is now moving on in its work.
But she says many groups remain confused by New Zealand's aid approach.
"It had a very strong development with integrity focus and since the change there are a lot of us who question where is New Zealand coming from and there is a perception that all this really has to be do with private sector development rather than development which is about community development."


Owners of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will recall a tactical real-time strategy Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War, published in 2007. The name is easy to guess that its plot tells about the events of the hundred years war that occurred between Britain and France in the 14th-15th centuries and Now a Duo of developer Omega Force and publisher Koei plans to send gamers to war in a fantasy world. It is not about the new part of the game, and reboot.
Terraria is a two-dimensional adventure-sandbox with RPG elements, released by indie Studio Re-Logic 2013. Gamers are offered a fascinating game process, requiring exploration, mining, the creation of various items and, of course, fights with enemies. Not surprisingly, Terraria became the champion on Steam and received critical acclaim. Not wanting to rest on our laurels, Studio Re-Logic announced the sequel — Terraria Otherworld, download which will be soon torrent.
the successor of legendary Master of Magic, will be available on PS4. The release will take place in the 3rd quarter of this year. In the role of a publisher is the company Teyon. This is an extremely important event, as it is about the release of these games on this console. Secondly, on March 19, all gamers who prefer PC will be able to enjoy the final version of Worlds of Magic.
The Russian company Nival gave excellent strategy of "Blitzkrieg" in 2003, the second part was released in 2005. Final third version yet, but the probability that it will appear in 2015! The more that we are already in testing. For the set of advantages is not a problem to wait game even a little bit.
When people talk about such games as Lost Ark online, make sure you remember Diablo. This instantly informs us that we Hack and Slash with the top view. The project hails from Korea, development is lead by Tripod Studio, promotion company Smile Gate, which gamers know due to Cross Fire.
Did you know that the word "Troll" from Swedish translates as "charm"? In the game Troll and I is creating doesn't look charming, but at heart it is the most pleasant in the world, what convinced one of the Scandinavian boy. He lost his house, was forced to go wander, but fate did not forget to exercise and favor — gave each other.
Look at your hand. She is omnipotent! To be sure, you need to take the mouse and turn the game Izle from the Studio Area Effect, founded in 2011, a former employee of Ubisoft. We are talking about the opportunity to create the most ambitious — live the worlds. If scientifically, this is called terraforming.
Famous manga inspired a lot of interesting games. Among them, brand new Dragon Ball Xenoverse (also known as Dragon Ball XV). It is important that it will be available on PC as well as on the most advanced consoles. Be worth noting that the download Dragon Ball Xenoverse torrent is all, as the game will surprise you with many innovations.
Online game War Thunder, meaning "Thunder of war" captures from the first seconds. It is dedicated to the historical battles that took place during WWII and the Korean war. Battles have a high degree of realism. Currently, the project wins a stage of open beta testing, so everyone concerned can personally test its capabilities.
In the gaming industry, there are developers who are inspired by the classic fairy tales and then create something amazing. In particular, talking about the Studio Sirenum and their Digital project, The Lost Pisces (can be translated as "Lost fish"). The team enthusiastically read "the little Mermaid" by Andersen, and then created his own occupant of the ocean. It's a girl-robot, which is gradually waking up. In the end, she goes in search of the soul.
We are waiting not only a game but a whole franchise that includes an animated picture and a comic. Based on the French novel Alain Damasio. In this work, reveals a world which is always raging winds, they are more than a physical phenomenon, it is magical. The Windwalkers game is devoted to the detachment of the Horde, who went to the land of Upper reaches, where born and powerful air flow.
These seniors you've ever seen! They believe that the steeper old woman with a scythe and her servants, and decided to prove it using race, and not on standard vehicles, and a homemade scooter. These unusual cars are very fast, and carries weapons, so everything will be very vigorously. Plus your motor can always be upgraded.
Pure boundless field and a minimum set of medieval instruments of labour — these are the two starting points for the creation of large cities that attract crowds of tourists ready to leave the mountain of gold. Allow me to introduce: Towncraft, urban sandbox. Use all sources and resources that you see around, to transform the empty piece of land into a thriving metropolis.
Series Mount & Blade continues with the game "Fire and sword 2: Caribbean", in which there is a place for strategy and RPG. We are forced to part with the old lady Europe and to conquer the New world. The 17th century is, therefore, easy to not put anyone, neither the pirate nor the dealer nor state loyalist. By the way, the gamer may choose any role from the above. That is, the game was the space battles, economic operations, diplomacy.
What sports-economic simulator is the most accurate and realistic? True connoisseurs and fans of the genre can easily answer this question: series Football Manager. The British from Sports Interactive's progress since 1992. During this time they developed 17 games, including Football Manager 2015, which will appear in November 2014.

Q: codeigniter/Pyro: making sure one of three fields is valid I have three phone fields (work_phone, home_phone and cell_phone). I would like to make sure that the user fills out at least one of them. This is my validation so far.
array(
    'field' => 'work_phone',
    'label' => 'lang:employee.work_phone',
    'rules' => 'max_length[10]|numeric|callback_check_phones[work_phone]'
    ),
array(
    'field' => 'home_phone',
    'label' => 'lang:employee.home_phone',
    'rules' => 'max_length[10]|numeric|callback_check_phones[home_phone]'
    ),
array(
    'field' => 'cell_phone',
    'label' => 'lang:employee.cell_phone',
    'rules' => 'max_length[10]|numeric|callback_check_phones[cell_phone]'
    ),

function check_phones($value,$name) {
    if((!isset($_POST[$name]))) {
        $this->form_validation->set_message('check_phones',
            'You must enter at least one phone number');
        return FALSE;
    }
    else
    {
        return TRUE;
    }
}

The problem is that it makes ALL the phone fields required. If I try if((!isset($_POST[work_phone])) ||(!isset($_POST[home_phone])) ){ no error is returned.
What's the best way to check if one of the three fields is not null?
EDIT
I got this to work by using empty() instead of isset() and && instead of || I know have
function check_phones($value){
    if((empty($_POST['work_phone'])) && (empty($_POST['home_phone'])) && (empty($_POST['cell_phone']))){
        $this->form_validation->set_message('check_phones', 'You must enter at least one phone number');
        return FALSE;
    }
    else
    {
        return TRUE;
    }

}

Which works but returns the error three times

A: just change your !isset statements to isset:
if(isset($_POST['phone1') || isset($_POST['phone2']) || isset($_POST['phone3'])){
   //at least 1 is filled.
}else{
   //fail
}

A: how about using the CI input class... $this->input->post will return a false if its empty

if($this->input->post('work_phone') || $this->input->post('home_phone') || $this->input->post('cell_phone'))
    {
        echo "We have your phone!";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "Please enter at least one!";
    }

Update for CI's validation...
If they haven't filled in any phone field, you could just add validation for the first one. Like so...

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
    if($this->input->post('work_phone') || $this->input->post('home_phone') || $this->input->post('cell_phone'))
    {
        echo "At least one is in there";
    }
    else
    {
        $this->form_validation->set_rules('work_phone', '1 Phone', 'required');
//      echo "Please enter at least one!";
    }
}

A: The answer is to use empty() instead of isset() see above.

With the UFC officially announcing the tripleheader lined up for their second event on FOX, Dana White and company will be in Chicago in a matter of minutes to promote the highly anticipated show.
The card now features three pivotal bouts with serious title implications in both the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions.
Middleweights Mark Munoz and Chael Sonnen will duke it out to determine who gets next dibs at Anderson Silva's hardware, while a light heavyweight affair between Rashad Evans and Phil Davis will decide who's next in line for a shot at the 205-pound crown.
Michael Bisping will also be back in the Octagon on the heels of his dominating performance over Jason "Mayhem" Miller at the TUF 14 Finale to take on Demian Maia.
The United Center in Chicago, Illinois will host the festivities. Unlike last month's hour-long premiere on FOX that aired only one fight, the UFC's second event on primetime television is expected to run two hours and showcase at least three live bouts.

HEPA, del inglés (High Efficiency Particulate Air)(), es un estándar de eficiencia de filtro de aire.

Función

Los filtros HEPA están compuestos por una malla de fibras dispuestas al azar. Las fibras típicamente están compuestas por fibra de vidrio y con diámetros entre 0,5 y 2,0 μm. Los factores más importantes a tener en cuenta en un filtro HEPA son el diámetro de las fibras, el espesor del filtro y la velocidad de las partículas. El espacio entre las fibras es mucho mayor de 0,3 μm, pero eso no significa que las partículas con un diámetro menor puedan pasar. A diferencia de los filtros de membrana los filtros HEPA están preparados para retener contaminantes y partículas mucho más pequeñas.

Esas partículas son atrapadas (se adhieren a una fibra) mediante una combinación de estos mecanismos:
 Intercepción: Donde las partículas que siguen a un flujo de aire rozan una fibra y se adhieren a ella.
 Impacto: Donde las partículas grandes no son capaces de evitar las fibras mientras siguen al flujo de aire y son obligadas a impactar directamente con una de ellas. Este efecto aumenta con la disminución de la separación entre fibras y el aumento de velocidad en el flujo de aire.
 Difusión: Las partículas más pequeñas, especialmente las menores de 0,1 µm, colisionan con las moléculas de gas lo que impide y retrasa su paso por el filtro. Este comportamiento es similar al movimiento browniano y aumenta la probabilidad de que una partícula sea detenida por uno de los dos mecanismos anteriores. Es la más dominante cuando el flujo de aire es lento.

La difusión predomina en partículas inferiores a 0,1 μm de diámetro. La intercepción y el impacto predominan en partículas mayores de 0,4 μm. Para partículas con un tamaño intermedio, 0,3 μm es el tamaño de partícula más penetrante (en inglés: Most Penetrating Particle Size), la difusión y la intercepción son bastante ineficientes. Las especificaciones de los filtros HEPA utilizan la retención de estas partículas intermedias para definir el tipo de filtro.

Aplicaciones biomédicas
Los filtros HEPA evitan la propagación de bacterias y virus a través del aire y, por tanto, son muy importantes para prevenir infecciones. Los sistemas de filtrado HEPA con fines médicos suelen incorporar luz ultravioleta de alta energía para eliminar cualquier bacteria viva y virus atrapado por el filtro físico. Algunas de las unidades HEPA mejor valoradas tienen una eficiencia del 99,995 % lo que asegura un alto nivel de protección contra enfermedades que se transmitan por el aire.

Uso en aviones
Los aviones modernos usan los filtros HEPA para reducir la propagación de agentes patógenos a través del aire recirculado. Un estudio del Departamento de transportes de Estados Unidos realizado en 92 vuelos aleatorios mostró que los niveles de hongos y bacterias encontrados en las cabinas son iguales o inferiores a los de los hogares. Estos niveles tan bajos de microbios son debidos al completo cambio de aire del interior de la cabina llevado a cabo entre 10 y 15 veces por hora y a la alta capacidad de filtrado de los sistemas de recirculación de aire. Estos filtros usados en aviones comunes son similares a los filtros HEPA usados en las salas blancas industriales y en las salas críticas de los hospitales como la unidad de trasplantes y de quemados. En comparación con estos sistemas, los sistemas de filtrado usados en edificios normales no son capaces de eliminar las bacterias y virus del aire.

Aplicaciones en el hogar

Los filtros HEPA tienen diferentes aplicaciones en el hogar, en pequeños electrodomésticos como los purificadores de aire o las aspiradoras.

Muchas de las aspiradoras actuales incorporan filtros HEPA que permiten la purificación del aire al mismo tiempo que limpian. Sin embargo, para ser realmente eficaz, una aspiradora con filtro HEPA debe hacer circular la totalidad del aire succionado a través del filtro, lo que requiere un motor muy potente.

Las aspiradoras que filtran la totalidad del aire se conocen como HEPA sellado. Los aspiradores con motores sin la suficiente potencia hacen circular el aire parcialmente a través del filtro HEPA, o emplean filtros de estructura similar a los filtros HEPA pero con una densidad o capacidad menor en la retención del polvo (arrestancia), proporcionando una eficiencia menor respecto a los modelos de HEPA sellado.

La utilización de purificadores de aire y aspiradoras con filtros HEPA reducen la presencia de alérgenos y partículas en el hogar, permitiendo una mayor pureza del aire, lo que los hace recomendables para personas con asma, afecciones respiratorias y alergias.

W.H. (Bill) Lamey – Highland Watch's Farewell to Ireland; Glenlivet
August 24, 2014 April 19, 2017 · 5 Comments ·
Entire books have been written on the rich history of fiddle playing and tunes from Cape Breton Island, and its tradition still continues with robust strength today. Type "Cape Breton fiddling" into YouTube and you'll get everything from early recordings, to private performances at house parties, from professional contemporary players like Natalie MacMaster and Ashley MacIsaac, to local youths performing, to festival performances, to this 1971 documentary, "The Vanishing Cape Breton Fiddler." It may have been vanishing in 1971, but by outward appearances it seems it's being vigorously kept alive, along with accompanying stepdancing. Today, Cape Breton is often considered the international stronghold of true, traditional Scottish fiddling.
Because of this, there's little reason for didactic platitudes on this subject – except to state the very basics: the tradition stems from the Scottish Highlands. Highland immigrants began settling in Cape Breton in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly between 1817 and 1838 (relating to the mass emigration brought on by the dissolution of the "clan system" in Scotland, known as the Highland Clearances). With them, of course, came music for dancing – and Cape Breton's traditional tunes have been well documented in various songbooks for the past century or more. As you'll hear in this example, its style is forceful, often intense. One of the noticeable differences between Cape Breton fiddling and other traditional styles is the strong "up driven bow," particularly on strathspeys, and what's been described as a strong "whip" in each stroke, along with an extensive use of fast triplets. (Admittedly, I'm writing as a novice here – guided by ears.)
Folk music from Cape Breton was recorded erratically and only occasionally during the 78 rpm era, until Bernie MacIsaac bought a music store in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and re-named it the "Celtic Music Store" in 1935. At about the same time, he started an independent record label, also naming it "Celtic," and got some of the very best fiddlers in the region to record for his local label, namely, Angus Chisholm (who had already recorded for the Decca label), Hugh A. MacDonald, Winston Fitzgerald, Angus Allan Gillis, Dan J. Campbell, and today's featured fiddle player, William Hugh "Bill" Lamey. The Celtic label is legendary, despite their limited amount of releases, having done a marvelous job doing just what it should have done: serving a relatively small population with well-recorded, excellent performances of local folk music. They helped to preserve the tradition, which later was taken up to a degree by the Rodeo 78 rpm label.
Lamey was born on Cape Breton Island in 1914 and first had his own fiddle at the age of 18. While in Sydney, he continued learning from local players and eventually got his own radio show. He recorded at least six 78s beginning around the early 1940s, though his career continued for many years. This side features his long time piano accompanist, Margaret Jessie MacDonald. In 1953, he moved to Boston, and in 1966, perhaps one could say that he helped to usher in a renewed interest in Cape Breton fiddling when he became the first fiddler from the region to perform at the Gaelic Mòd in Inverness, Scotland, where he apparently devastated the crowd with his performance, earning standing ovations.
Unfortunately, very few of these classic performances have made it to the CD era. In the late 1970s, Richard Nevins of Shanachie/Yazoo issued two pivotal collections of Lamey's and Angus Chisholm's early sides, but they remain long out of print. Hopefully that will change. This piece features a strathspey and reel, and a wonderful end note by pianist MacDonald. Sometimes you don't know when to stop…

J. O. LaMadeleine (& Jeannette) – Petite Lili Valse
May 18, 2008 June 18, 2010 · 7 Comments ·
The last French Canadian folk music I posted was six months ago, so I thought I might feature another this week – especially since I found myself humming this song repeatedly. When that happens, I feel I have to go straight to the shelves, grab that piece of music, and remind myself of the innate qualities therein. This I did, and here it is for you, too.
Joseph Ovila LaMadeleine (1880-1973) was a left-handed fiddler based in Montreal, where he owned a music shop. In the late 1920s, when he was already nearly 50, he began his recording career for Starr Records. For the next 15 years on Starr, he recorded 54 records of wonderfully played reels, quadrilles, and waltzes like this track, which was recorded in the winter of 1937. While this tune is not a fiddle showdown like some of his others, I find it beautifully unpretentious, largely due to the vocal by his daughter Jeannette.
Starr Records got its name from the Starr Piano Company of Richmond, Indiana. The Starr Piano Company also produced a little label called Gennett, only one of the greatest, most sought-after record labels in jazz, country, and blues history. The Compo Company (run by the son of Emile Berliner) began pressing the Starr and Gennett labels in Canada in 1919, and gradually began recording as well. The Starr label continued into the 40s, long after Starr Piano left the record business, with the Starr label reserved strictly for Canadian recordings.
For more LaMadeleine, there is a track on the Rounder collection Raw Fiddle. You can also visit The Virtual Gramophone and hear quite a few LaMadeleine recordings, albeit at 64kbps. Better than nothing!
Lastly, an announcement for 1960s African music fans: very soon I will be writing a guest post over at the fine Matsuli Music blog. There will be LOTS to download, and it will be very limited, so if you don't want to miss that, keep checking Matsuli.

Isidore Soucy – Quadrille "Laurier" (6ème Partie)
December 3, 2007 October 18, 2009 · 5 Comments ·
While there's plenty of incredible American, Cajun, and Irish-American fidders, there's also a rich history of fiddle-based folk music from Canada. And while some diehard fans of the back-woods American fiddlers might scoff (and I, myself, first gained interest in 78s through early American country music), it's difficult to deny a track like this, Isidore Soucy's quadrille, which is similar to a square-dance, except without calls. According to one source I found, a quadrille is historically a dance representing a maiden fleeing a young man's advances, and like much folk music, was performed at community gatherings, parties, or with family.
Isidore Soucy (b. Ste-Blandine, Québec, 1899, d. Montreal, 1963) was a force in traditional Québécois folk music. His recording career began in the late 1920s as a soloist, and lasted well into the LP-era, recording often with his wife and four children as the Famille Soucy. His fiddling is not as raw as some American country fiddlers, it's more stylish and rhythmic, and its European influence is more apparent (especially with it's piano accompaniment, like many Irish-American fiddling records of the day) – but the virtuosity is there. This track was recorded at a very early point in his career, ca. 1927.
You can find more Soucy at the virtuous Virtual Gramophone website, which has dozens of fine French-Canadian folk music tracks for download (though, not this one). I would also recommend listening to some tracks by Joseph Allard.

Q: Is putting string direct to the pointer (without declare static or dynamic space in RAM) good practice? char* load_text(char* text, int how_many)
{
    char* result = 0;
    char* here = 0;

    result = fgets(text, how_many, stdin);
    if (result)
    {
        here = strchr(text, '\n');
        if (here)
            *here = '\0';
        else
            while (getchar() != '\n')
                continue;
    }
    return result;
}

This function is simple, send string from the keyboard and put to the pointer variable and then search new line '\n' in this string and remove in this place with null character '\0'
Then remove new line from function when you pressed ENTER
My question is:
Is it good to put string direct to the pointer from function fgets() to pointer *result?
Or is it a bad practice?
Because i searched a lot information about this problem
And many peaople told me:
Never put string direct to the pointer, which points to the random address in RAM without making static space or dynamic allocation in RAM !!!
I learn C programming language from Stephen Prat book "C Primer Plus, 6th Edition" and i founded this example in this book
From my point of view, I think putting strings directly to the random address RAM without static declare space for string or dynamic allocation is very bad idea
Correct me if i am wrong?
I think this example make really mess in RAM
I want know if my point of view is correct.

A: There is a notion that memory is associated with pointers. For example, in int *p = malloc(3 * sizeof *p);, some people say that memory is "allocated to p". This is not correct. Memory is allocated, the address of that memory is returned, and that address is assigned to p, meaning that the value of p is set to that address. No ownership of the memory is associated with p, nor is any enduring relationships between p and the memory formed other than that p currently holds the address of the memory.
You could follow this with int *q = p; and int *r = p;, and then p, q, and r would have the same address, and none of them would have any privileged status over the others. They are simply variables that hold values.
In result = fgets(text, how_many, stdin);, the value returned by fgets is assigned to result. There is no need to allocate any memory for result to point to before this. In fact, doing so would be counterproductive, because the address assigned to result would be overwritten by result = fgets(text, how_many, stdin);.

Is it good to put string direct to the pointer from function fgets() to pointer *result?

It is fine.

And many peaople told me: Never put string direct to the pointer, which points to the random address in RAM without making static space or dynamic allocation in RAM !!!

You should never use a pointer before it has been assigned an appropriate address. For example, you should never use *result, as in *result = x; or x = *result;, before result has been set to pointer to an appropriate address.
result = fgets(text, how_many, stdin); sets result to an appropriate address, so it is fine.

A: there is no simple answer - it all depends, but your function depends on the caller supplying a valid pointer and a valid length. But c coding is like that , you are at the mercy of your caller. Look at the fgets function, it has to depend on its caller providing valid arguments too

A: This function has no responsibility to allocate memory, that has been pushed to the caller. If the caller does not allocate correctly when calling, this function will fail, but through no fault of its own.
Since you do check the result of fgets if there is an error you do return an error, so it all works out.
When you say this:

Never put string direct to the pointer, which points to the random address in RAM without making static space or dynamic allocation in RAM !!!

I think what you mean is "never write to an uninitialized pointer", which is true. It does not mean "never put a string direct to the pointer" as that doesn't mean anything.
For example, if you had this:
char* x;

load_text(x, 100);

That is undefined behaviour, no allocation was made, but it's not the fault of the load_text function itself. This is just buggy code that needs to be fixed.

We're actually having a sign up this year, to ensure that we're not overcrowded and everyone has ample room to move around. You can sign up for either 8am or 930am. We'll be shutting down at 11am. Please contact Kelsey, at kelsey@studentathletept.com, and let her know what time you'd like to arrive, and to make sure you have a spot.
Also: Note that you don't have to be a current member of SAPT to join in the fun. We love to use this as a time for friends, family, and those who simply live locally (or not so locally, as we have those driving up from Richmond), to share a good time before heading off to our respective celebrations!

At fitness studios,floral prints are in full bloom!I love the hydrangea plant and up and coming Australian brand The Upside have designed a vibrant floral Hydrangea Prana Pant.
My favourite hydrangea of the moment is the Serrata. Hydrangea Serrata is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeacea, native to mountainous regions of Korea and Japan. Common names include mountain hydrangea and tea of heaven!
I have been using this plant as inspiration for my fashion print designs after discovering it in Cornwall growing in Ben's garden and where I spend many special days drawing and painting.
Flowers are blossoming everywhere in the gym!

Biographies of important Native Americans
1.1 Geographical regions
3 European colonization of the Americas
Native Americans, also known as Indigenous Americans, are the indigenous peoples of the Americas. In older texts, terms such as Indians, American Indians and Amerindians are commonly utilized, and such terms can also be seen in the names of many laws and governmental entities, such as the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990.
NFT Scam warning
Lately, we have seen that someone is trying to sell Native American inspired NFT:s and we have received offers to promote these NFTs. These NFTs have been clear scams created to make money for the creator. Once they have earned their goal they will do a rug pull and these NFTs will become worthless. Do not invest in these NFT:s and always do your research before you invest in NFT:s. 95% of all NFT offers are scams. If you despite this want to invest in NFT:s then you should do through a reputable NFT market suck as the NFT marketplace Nifty.
We do however discourage everyone from investing NFT:s since it is very hard to make money from NFT:s unless you create your own NFT:s. It is better to invest your money in something safer.
There are over 560 federally recognized tribes within the United States and 326 Indian reservations. In the United States, an Indian reservation is a legal designation for an area of land managed by a federally recognized Native American tribe under the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. Some federally recognized tribes have more than one reservation, some share reservations, and some are not affiliated with any reservation.
Geographical regions
Ethnographers commonly classify the Native American populations in the United States into ten main geographical regions. Each region is denoted by shared cultural traits.
The ten regions are these:
Arctic, including Aleut, Inuit, and Yupik peoples (This region extends into Canada and Greenland.)
Northeastern Woodlands
Southeastern Woodlands
Northwest Plateau
Northwest Coast
Southwest / Oasisamerica (This region extends into Mexico.)
The prevailing theory proposes that the first humans in North America came from Euroasia and migrated across the land bridge that connected Sibera with the North Amerian continent.
Genetic testing indicate that there have been at least three waves of migration from Euroasia to North America in prehistoric times, and that the first migration took place at least 15,000 years ago, possibly as early as 30,000 years ago. Roughly 10,000 years ago, the sea level rose and submurged the landbridge, putting a halt to terrestiral migration from Euroasia to North America.
Over many generations, humans gradually spread eastward and southward over the North American continent, continuing down through Central America and eventually reaching all the way down to southern South America. They formed numerous societies and cultures, and adapted to a vast range of environments.
European colonization of the Americas
The Native Americans were immensely impacted by the European colonization of the Americas that started in the late 1400s. The numbers of Native Americans decreased sharply due to violent attacks, enslavement, starvation, forced migration, and diseases.
Event before European settlements became widespread in North America, the number of Native Americans dropped dramatically due to the spread of Old World diseases to which the indigenous population had very low resilience. According to Professor Emeritus William M Denevan at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, there were many regions – especially in the lowlands – where the indigenous populations fell by 90% or more in the first century after initial European contact.
Diseases spread directly through human contact or via contaminated objects, but it is also suspected that pigs brought from Europe to the Americas helped spread certain diseases as they escaped or were allowed to roam free.
After the creation of the United States of America, the newfound republic enacted a policy of forced assimilation and relocation of Native Americas. During the 19th century, the westward expansion of European-American populations increased pressure on remaining Native American populations, of which many had already been forced from their original homelands in eastern U.S.

Indian Dream


Because of its involvement in the progression of several malignant tumors, the histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) has become a prominent drug target in modern medicinal chemistry research. We report on the discovery of two classes of noncovalent inhibitors displaying unique structural features. The antibiotics polymyxins bind at the entrance of the substrate cleft, where their highly charged cyclic moiety interacts with a cluster of positively charged amino acids. The same site is occupied by quinazoline-based compounds, which were found to inhibit the enzyme through a most peculiar mode because they form a pile of five to seven molecules that obstruct access to the active center. These data significantly indicate unpredictable strategies for the development of epigenetic inhibitors.


While many have different views on Digital Agenda targets as too ambitious or not ambitious enough, the cable industry is keen to underscore that it is projected to achieve half of the 2020 coverage targets. With the glass already half full, it is a reminder of the importance of a rich mix of technologies to successfully execute the Digital Agenda for the Europe of tomorrow, suggests Cable Europe.
The importance of technology neutrality in this context cannot be underestimated. This is a point majored upon in a recent report commissioned by Liberty Global and released by WIK which argues that the Digital Agenda Europe targets will be met by incremental, demand-driven investment which will, in turn, spur investments by other actors in the marketplace, says Cable Europe.

Everyone knows that the reason this auto-plant worked was because of the culture clash and humorous interaction of Gedde Watanabe and Michael Keaton.
Indeed. They certainly didn't have a plan. :) Sorry about that. Thanks for pointing it out... fixed now.
What I find interesting, is that out of the whole NUMMI project, a brand new industry was developed that was no longer directly tied to car plants or even manufatcturing, the whole LEA/Six Sigma thing. If you trace it back, almost all of these LEAN and SS programs come from the toyota manufacturing process. Now they apply these concepts to everything. Doesn't always work, sometimes it is just thrown on as it's own kind of window dressing, but it has really beneffited a lot of indutries. If GM had used the real concepts and correctly trained there personnel, I bet that they would not have had the problems they did.
I heard part of that show on public radio the other day. Outstanding idea for a show AND well executed! I was disappointed I didn't get to hear the whole thing.
Yeah, listened to the story on our local NPR affiliate that week. I couldn't take my attention away from the radio for the full hour. The stories about NUMMI pre-Toyota were frankly horrific. Cars pushed off the assembly line with engines put in backwards, grills from one model some how bolted on another, totally inappropriate model. Apparently the mistakes were pushed on to a huge lot for repair later. Sometimes they didn't get repaired. Workers would fall into assembly pits and line managers would still refuse to shut down that line. Simply horrific.
I've been involved in several software companies that were acquired. In each case, we probably could have turned over our software to the buyers before they acquired us, and they still would have had to buy us. It wasn't the code; it was the people that knew how to do stuff (i.e., execute) with the code.
There's no substitute for management knowing AND caring.
Early 80's, GM had 54 (FIFTY-FOUR) levels of management. Let that sink in for a moment. It's about four times more levels than between the newest recruit in the military and the US President.
That was also the worst period for "business" majors and accountants to go directly into high management, never having even looked under a hood, let alone gotten their little nebish hands greasy.
But of course management didn't care because they got paid the same (ridiculously high) regardless of product quality or sales -- while simultaneously yelling that high union wages were the problem.
Somewhere a horrible self-contradictory myth got accepted about "capitalism": that cost controls on workers wages are always good, while management is shameless in demanding and taking millions for actually doing damage to a company.

Fertility testing, once confined to doctor's offices and reserved for people struggling to conceive, is becoming more accessible, thanks to startups that aim to educate young women about their bodies before they possibly face infertility.
A FEW YEARS ago, Afton Vechery visited a clinic to estimate the number of eggs left in her ovaries.
