Ashok Leyland gets set for electric bus drive in Ahmedabad
Hindu Business Line
Linkedin Twitter Email WhatsApp Facebook
From Ashok Leyland's point of view, well begun is half done.
The Chennai-based truck and bus-maker have kicked off 2019 on the right note as its gears up for its electric bus foray in Ahmedabad. This will be part of the AJL (Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited) Bus Rapid Transit System beginning next month.
Beyond this mandate of 50 Circuit e-buses (comprising 18 swap batteries and 32 fast charging options), Ashok Leyland is also eyeing a 'selective' but larger play in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and Andhra Pradesh.
The company has readied the blueprint for a five-year EV strategy where ₹500 crore has already been earmarked. "This is the first tranche of investments till March 2020 but is not the end of the story," says Karthick Athmanathan, Head of EVs and eMobility at Ashok Leyland.
According to him, a lion's share of this amount will go in for product and technology development with very little set aside for capacity generation. "Only when the volumes start coming, will we start investing in capacities, which will mean larger sums going forward," he adds.
The company has developed on its on-the-product integration technology while opting to get the motor or battery technology abroad. "We buy the technology and control it. It is still our technology... just that the work gets done there. We own it, we fund it and we control it," elaborates Athmanathan.
Ashok Leyland displayed the bus at the recently held Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in Gandhinagar. The plan for Ahmedabad is to have four routes initially under the EV bus circuit. "We will deploy a few buses initially. A lot of operationalization, training and infrastructure development is happening simultaneously right now," he says.
Trial runs will begin without passengers to assess key issues like traffic, battery consumption, etc. After about four-five weeks, the actual rollout will begin after factoring in power connections and charging swap stations. Smart chargers will ensure sustained power supply even in the cases of grid fluctuations.
In the process, Ahmedabad will become the first city in the world to offer multiple energy management EVs, overtaking Gothenburg in Sweden, which is synonymous with its Volvo buses. Ahmedabad will also be the first Indian city to have EV buses on a BRTS route.
Himachal Pradesh, however, is the first state to usher in electric buses thanks in part to the Supreme Court directive on pollution concerns. Later Mumbai's BEST adopted six EV buses supplied by Tata Motors. Yet, it is no secret that this is an expensive and loss-making proposition, which only raises the obvious question on the viability of EVs.
"Right now there is little business sense for anyone because this is going to be too expensive... probably anywhere between 20-100 percent more than the cost of diesel. And that's how it will continue to be for some time," says Athmanathan.
Financial concerns
Yet, for companies like Ashok Leyland, what is critical is the first mover 'active action' even while there is really no financial benefit to be had. "The business model in terms of financials is not something that we would want to look at today. It will come in 2022 when we start delivering buses," he says.
By this time, the EV city bus penetration will have picked up and could even account for 20 percent share of overall city bus volumes. "By 2024, this will rapidly go up to reach close to 70-75 percent. And in some cases, it will actually make money sense to scrap diesel buses and switch to EVs," says Athmanathan.
For battery-operated trucks, financial viability will become a reality after 2024-2025 since they would need superior technology to run batteries for 400-500 km at a stretch. "We have the technology to move a 49-tonne EV but not to give it continuous energy through the day," he admits.
It remains to be seen if batteries will be subsidized, but if this happens, the industry will more than welcome the move. Apart from this, an investor-friendly business model suggested by NITI Aayog has truly set the ball rolling.
As Athmanathan explains, there is a "very refreshing" tender experience for OEMs in Uttar Pradesh where both the officials concerned and the contract are business-friendly. For the first time, a State Transport Unit will be giving a bankable contract with a payment guarantee.
"You can go to the bank and the banker will fund the project. It is a fantastic contract," says Athmanathan. Yet, discretion is the name of the game when it comes to working with STUs.
"We are being selective and don't participate in all the State tenders. Several STUs face issues such as cash flows, management, and administration," he says. Apart from Ahmedabad, UP has announced a substantial tender for 520 buses in seven cities while there is also a pre-bid announcement from Andhra Pradesh for 100 buses. Delhi is on top of the pyramid with plans to have 1,000 buses.
R&D focus
With so much interest coming in, Ashok Leyland's R&D team has its hands full with about 160 of its total manpower strength of 1,200 working on EVs alone. The company is maintaining a policy of no-new investments in the form of equity or roping in a partner. "We will invest for product and technology development but not for acquisitions," reiterates Athmanathan.
India's EV story is slowly gaining momentum even while China is way ahead along with a handful of European countries. China took eight years to adopt this technology while Norway took nearly twice as long. "Whatever is being done right now in India is enough to drive. We just have to play the game and not expect quick implementation," declares Athmanathan.

Q: How to send asynchronous command to VSCode Editor's Extension I want to have the 3D drawing program Sketchup send a command to the VSCode editor to Save All.
I am familiar with Sketchup's extension development, and can write pretty much any C++ communication code for a Sketchup extension. Its even easier programing extensions using Sketchup's version of Ruby language, which includes TCPsocket and HTTP request objects.
One solution would be to have the sending APP find and obtain the handle to VSCode executable, and and then send the keyboard shortcut for a desired menu option.
That isn't the cleanest method, and different code would be needed for the Mac OS.
On the VSCode side of things, I'm not familiar with VSCode configuration and extensions. It appears that VSCode provides a JavaScript API, including "Activation Events":
https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/activation-events
I don't see anything that meets my needs. The EXTENSION GUIDES sub-option Webview comes closest:
https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/webview
Within the URL above, the subsection "Passing messages from a webview to an extension" allows handling a message from a webview, but it appears to need a reference to a WebView dialog box from createWebviewPanel.
I don't know how to proceed further.
Please note, I'm not asking how to use VS Code to edit and develop a Sketchup extension, but how to create a VS Code extension or task handler that VS Code executes.

A: A vscode.workspace.createFileSystemWatcher file watcher running in a vscode extension would work. You can only watch files within the workspace of the project. Sketchup would write to a file in the workspace of the project. The vscode extension would then execute the workbench.action.files.saveAll command.
export async function register_fileWatcher( )
{
  if ( vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders )
  {
    const wsFolder = vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders[0].uri.fsPath;
    let pattern = path.join( wsFolder, '*.txt');
    let watcher = vscode.workspace.createFileSystemWatcher(
      pattern, false, false, false);

    watcher.onDidChange(_watcherChangeApplied);
    watcher.onDidCreate(_watcherChangeApplied);
    watcher.onDidDelete(_watcherChangeApplied);
  }
}

// ----------------------------- _watcherChangeApplied -----------------------------
function _watcherChangeApplied(e: vscode.Uri)
{
  vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.action.files.saveAll');
}

// ----------------------------------- activate -----------------------------------
export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext)
{
    register_fileWatcher(context) ;

Lionel Deimel's Web Log
Random quick takes by Lionel Deimel
The Ground Game
Has The Episcopal Church been losing the public relations competition with those who have left the church in San Joaquin, Pittsburgh, Fort Worth, Quincy, and, most recently, in South Carolina? My question is prompted by a story in today's edition of The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina. The story is titled "African bishops endorse Bishop Mark Lawrence," and it is based on extensive publicity from Lawrence's breakaway "Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina."
The newspaper story reports that four East Africa Anglican bishops visiting Charleston have expressed their support for the departure of Lawrence and much of his diocese from The Episcopal Church. The story reproduces the photo of the four bishops and Mark Lawrence provided by the breakaway group. The smiling quintet of bishops includes (L-to-R) the Rt. Rev. Robert Martin, Diocese of Marsabit, Anglican Church of Kenya; the Rt. Rev. Mark Lawrence, unaffiliated "Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina"; the Rt. Rev. Nathan Kamusiime Gasatura, Diocese of Butare, Anglican Church of Rwanda; the Rt. Rev. Elias Mazi Chakupewa, Diocese of Tabora, Anglican Church of Tanzania; and the Rt. Rev. Abraham Yel Nhial, Diocese of Aweil, Episcopal Church of the Sudan.
The visitors are scheduled to speak at various South Carolina churches over the next few weeks. They will be joined in this enterprise by the Rt. Rev. Ken Clarke, Diocese of Kilmore, Elphin & Ardagh, Church of Ireland; and by the Most Rev. Mouneer H. Anis, Primate of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem & The Middle East.
Stories like this encourage the perception by the public that the South Carolina schism and the motivation behind it are widely approved outside the U.S. Never mind that hundreds of Anglican bishops are not expressing their support or that the four bishops pictured were already in the U.S. to attend the New Wineskins for Global Mission 2013 conference. The 99-minute video provided by the Lawrence faction suggests that the bishops' travel was supported by a pre-schism diocesan grant to the conference that required recipients to visit South Carolina. (Also provided to the media were an audio file, transcript, and photo album, from the same April 9, 2013, event.)
Why hasn't The Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Church in South Carolina (i.e., the real Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina) not produced a similar demonstration of support from friendly Anglican bishops? Are there no bishops in Canada, England, Scotland, Brazil, the Philippines, South Africa, or elsewhere willing to stand up for the continued integrity of The Episcopal Church and for Anglican comprehensiveness, as opposed to the Evangelical self-righteousness of newly minted "Anglican orthodoxy" or "Biblical Anglicanism"? I suspect that no public support has been forthcoming because no such support has been requested. If our church cannot actually mobilize the express support of any foreign Anglican bishops, it should rethink its participation in the Anglican Communion.
It would be easy to dismiss the significance of the support offered by the East African bishops. Their opinion does not immediately affect the status of The Episcopal Church within the Anglican Communion or bring the schismatic "diocese" within the Communion. It does, however, lend credence to the assertions of Lawrence and his supporters. Visits of the bishops to Lawrence's parishes will no doubt help firm up support for the South Carolina schism, which is less than universal. News of the bishops' support may increase the approval of the Lawrence group within South Carolina and perhaps create doubts in congregations that have retained their Episcopal Church identity. Moreover, Anglicans around the world can surely be influenced by what the see (or don't see) in the press.
The larger question is this: Why has The Episcopal Church not worked harder at cultivating support within the Anglican Communion? Following the General Convention's consent to the consecration of Gene Robinson, our church took much abuse in meetings of the primates and even in meetings of the Anglican Consultative Council. Why have we meekly taken such abuse, and why have we not sought more support for our positions? The extreme Anglican right has created GAFCON and the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans. Why is there no Fellowship of Progressive Anglicans?
Are we simply inhibited by our pathological niceness? If so, it is time to recognize that our theological enemies—and they are our theological enemies—are playing by different rules. Our Anglican propriety (and dysfunctional collegiality in our House of Bishops) can have long-term consequences—for The Episcopal Church, for the Anglican Communion, and for a Christianity motivated by love, rather than self-righteous. It is time to rethink our ground game in the Anglican church wars.

Invite Bishop Desmond Tutu to counterbalance this treachery against fellow Anglicans and other spiritually more wholesome human beings.

Robert Gillies, bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney, preached at Grace Church, Charleston - effectively, at this time, the diocese's pro cathedral. The panel discussion of Mark Lawrence's visiting bishop was apparently vary sparsely attended. I suspect that their visit may have been encouraged, if not motivated, by expenditure of part of the substantial diocesan funds, liquidated recently at some financial loss. See SC Episcopalians recent April 18th post (http://www.scepiscopalians.com) for more on the visiting bishops, and the March 8th post in the sidebar for details of the financial shenanigans of the secessionists.

"We're the real Anglicans."
"No, we're the real Anglicans."
I just don't see it, Lionel. Let's face it; the Anglican Communion is already divided. If the powers that be in the Anglican Communion, whoever they are, choose the other Anglicans over us to invite to gatherings and meetings, so be it. If the powers choose to invite them and us, so be it. The Anglican churches that wish to remain in communion with us will maintain the relationships. Those who don't, will not.
Lionel Deimel April 22, 2013 at 11:21 PM
Granted, the Communion is a mess. We pretend that it is a rule-based, genteel organization. In fact, members behave like characters out of the Wild West. We should recognize the Anglican Communion for what it is. If it is a "gift from God," as some suggest, then it is clear that God has a wicked sense of humor.
I rather like the description Mark Brunson used for the Anglican Communion over on Mark Harris's blog: "a vanity project for those feeling jealous of Roman global imperialism."
rosebud April 25, 2013 at 12:16 PM
On a practical level, we TEC loyalists in South Carolina had to improvise the entire diocesan infrastructure on the fly. Remember, Bishop Lawrence took everything -- the cathedral, the files, the computers, the records, even the paperclips! So rather than a comprehensive PR strategy, there's been some occasional "counter-punching," such as local newspaper ads pointing out that TEC is alive and well in South Carolina. A real "ground game" requires people, money, time, and leadership. We have those things in SC, but they've thus far been devoted to a rapid reorganization.

How many LGBTQ people have been actively driven away from a relationship with God because so-called religious leaders have treated them like pariahs?
How many worshipers have stopped attending church because they're tired of politicking and intra-denominational fighting as practiced by Duncan, Lawrence, et al?
As Christians, we have a moral obligation to reach out to people who are suffering, and make no mistake --- people are suffering from the actions of Duncan and his followers.
Obstructing people from a relationship with God is downright evil. I find it frankly amusing when ACNA supporters accuse +Katharine and TEC of being "dictatorial"; I think they've been much too deferential. They could use a little more fire in the belly. "Onward Christian Soldiers" isn't just a hymn that we sing once in a while.
I think we're on the same page, but I'm not completely sure. I was using "pathological niceness" to refer to the way we have treated, for example, primates from East Africa. We should be telling them (1) that we think they're wrong about [fill in the blank] and (2) that they shouldn't be interfering in our church. If you're suggesting that our failure to do that is hurtful to LGBTQ people, then we agree.
Jason Togyer April 23, 2013 at 1:43 PM
Yes, we're definitely on the same page! And I agree it's become pathological.
We (as a group) seem to trying to avoid confrontation, which might work if all sides were acting in good faith. But some of the people involved have a fairly mean-spirited agenda and are purposely provoking confrontation --- "picking a fight."
To try to avoid confrontation at that point is to become an enabler of bad behavior. If our position is ethical (and I believe full inclusion of women and LGBTQ people is ethical) than we have a moral obligation to defend it vigorously.

Day 1-2 IBU World Cup Rundown from Pokljuka: Egan 6th, Lunder 10th in 15 k Individual (Includes audio interview with Egan)
FasterSkierJanuary 24, 2020
The traveling IBU World Cup roadshow stops in Pokljuka, Slovenia this week and began the individual races. The women's 15 k individual ran on Friday. The individual race format places a heightened premium on clean shooting; each missed shot amounts to an automatic minute penalty.
Tiril Eckhoff of Norway had been dominating the circuit recently. Yet, Friday, she fell in the standings to place an uncharacteristic 18th. In first place was former German cross-country skier Denise Herrmann. It was Herrmann's first win of the season and her second podium. She won in 41:33.4 with no misses on the range. Sweden's Hannah Öberg was second (+59.2; 0+1+0+0) and France's Anais Bescond third (+1:15.7; 0+0+0+0).

Two North Americans raced into the top-10. Clare Egan for the U.S. had a career-best race in the individual format with a sixth place. Egan shot clean and stopped the clock 2:10.4 back. Prior to Friday's result, Egan's best performance in the 15 k individual had been a 22nd at the 2017 World Championships in Hochfilzen, Austria. Last weekend, Egan placed 16th in Ruhpolding, Germany's 10 k pursuit. And at this same venue a bit over a year ago in Pokljuka, Egan placed sixth in the 10 k pursuit.

Post-race interview with Clare Egan
Emma Lunder of Canada finished in 10th, 3:06.8 back while shooting 1+0+0+0. This was Lunder's second top-10 of the season. She placed 7th in Oberhof's sprint. Both Lunder and Egan qualified for Sunday's 12.5 k mass start competition. The top-25 women in the overall IBU standings auto-qualify. Egan and Lunder fell outside that criteria, but qualified due to their results in Friday's individual race.

For the U.S., Joanne Reid was 45th (+6:11.3; 0+0+1+1), Susan Dunklee 55th (+7:04.2; 1+2+1+1), and Emily Dreissigacker 84th (+10:12.7; 1+0+1+2).
Canada's Nadia Moser finished in 79th (+9:30.6; 1+2+0+1), Megan Bankes 80th (+9:46.2; 1+1+0+3), and Emily Dickson 83rd (+10:07.4; 1+1+1+1).
Men's 20 k Individual
On Thursday in Pokljuka, Johannes Thingnes Bø, on leave from the race scene for the first part of racing during the second trimester to be home for the birth of his first child, was back in play. Last week, in the absence of the Norwegian phenom that is Bø, France's Martin Fourcade reclaimed the World Cup's overall yellow leader's bib.

Fourcade's leader status might be tenuous. The two superstars went 1-2 on Thursday with Bø taking the win in 47:54.3 with no misses. Fourcade finished second, 11.4 seconds back while also shooting clean. France's Fabien Claude placed third (+25.6; 0+0+0+0).

For Canada, Scott Gow raced to 26th (+3:36.7; 0+1+0+1). Christian Gow was 41st (+5:20.0; 0+2+0+0), Jules Burnotte 88th (+8:39.1; 1+2+1+1), and Aidan Millar 107th (+13:27.7; 2+2+0+3).

Leif Nordgren was the top American in 27th. Nordgren finished 3:38.3 minutes back after shooting 1+1+0+0. Jake Brown placed 52nd (+5:54.9; 2+1+0+0), Sean Doherty 74th (+7:28.8; 1+0+1+3), and Paul Schommer 85th (+8:32.9; 2+0+0+2).
Racing continues in Pokljuka on Saturday with the single mixed relay and a 4 x 7.5 k mixed relay.

I am a life long bird hunter in the Mississippi delta. I farm corn and soybeans no till, and I am determined to bring quail back. I have been successful in some areas, but do not see why I am not having more success. I provide lots of food and cover.
I would like to release some quail in a property I just bought. Is there anywhere I can buy quail that are wild that might survive? I live in Parker County Texas. Is there a website you can refer me to for releasing quail in Texas. I am not releasing them to hunt just want to help in their comeback. Property is a costal field with a running creek, some trees along the creek with more trees to the west.

Your dad is from Germany and your mom from Jamaica. You represented Germany as a junior and a cadet, winning bronze and silver at European Cups respectively, as well as bronze at the German U18 nationals. But the island where your mother was born calls … Learn about Devin Waldenburg, who debuted for Jamaica at the Paris Grand Slam. His first big World Tour event, but also an inaugural appearance for the Jamaican Judo Association at this competition as well, since the association was launched in September 2018.
"I'm proud to be able to represent Jamaica. It's a small country with only 2.8 million inhabitants. If you compare to Germany, it is as many as my home city Cologne. Both my parents are proud of me presenting Jamaica, especially my father. They both knew it was a big dream of mine. However, my mother told me not the forget about my studies as well," the 22-year old law student added.
This year's edition of the Paris Grand Slam was Devin's first big tournament and first Grand Slam. "I was a bit flabbergasted when entering the Bercy Arena. So many big judo names have won medals here on the tatami. So, I couldn't help it being impressed. Now I'm part of it and had to perform myself in this Arena. When I saw the result of the draw. I thought … oops … a French judoka as a first opponent … That's gonna be a rough ride, but also … what an honor, because judo is such a big sport in France, with legends like Teddy Riner. I told myself, OK, this is going to be a tough fight, let's make the best of it. So, I was pretty nervous. I didn't know how the crowd would respond to me as an opponent of a French judoka. But once on the tatami all those feelings evaporated, and I could focus again. I dug deep and tried to beat my opponent which unfortunately I did not succeed. Hence, I'm not satisfied with the outcome, but grateful for the massive experience," Devin ends.


Sleep disordered breathing can affect up to one in three adults.
Contributing factors to sleep apnoea are Age, Weight and upper airway structure, that is whether you have a narrow airway or not.
If your airway collapses when you are relaxed and sleeping, the movement of the air through the restricted airway can lead to the noise we know as snoring.
If the airway collapses and blocks off for a period of time this results in a pause in the breathing or apneic event. The body then momentarily wakes up in order to start breathing again. These awakenings are so brief you may not realise they have happened.
This puts strain on your body reducing the quality of your sleep and contributes to other health impacts such as high blood pressure, reflux, depression, and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
If you or someone you love snores, then book an appointment with your GP for an assessment. They may then refer you for a sleep study to assess your sleep and see what's happening with your breathing overnight. Sometimes these studies can be done in the comfort of your own bed rather than staying overnight in hospital.
Why is my dentist telling me this?
Once diagnosed you may be prescribed a CPAP machine, however if you have mild sleep apnoea or snoring then you may be suitable for a dental appliance that holds your jaw forward when you are asleep.
Oral appliances can only be provided by a dentist that has completed appropriate education.
Oral appliances are also useful for those who are travelling as they are much more easy to pack than a CPAP machine and they can also be provided to patients who have tried CPAP and failed to find it comfortable.
Dentists can see signs in the mouth that may indicate sleep disordered breathing, and arrange appropriate referral.
If you would like some tips on how to get the ball rolling with a screening for sleep disordered breathing or to see if an oral appliance can help you, please call the practice on 02 6921 5799 and book an appointment with Dr Rosemary Morgan, who specialises in this.

The dynamic between the coaches of Division I football teams and the universities that employ them is quickly becoming a hot topic. The ever-increasing popularity of the college game coupled with the vast financial opportunities have thrust coaches into the spotlight. As players only wear the colors of their university for only three or four years, head coaches have become the proverbial faces of their respective collegiate programs.
The desire of universities for a top-flight coach has perpetuated a system of free agency in the coaching industry. Perhaps no coach better represents this trend than Michigan's Rich Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was highly successful leading the West Virginia University football program, implementing a quick-strike, spread offense that made the Mountaineers the toast of the Big East and a nationally ranked team. The success of Rodriguez did not go unnoticed. The once-mighty Alabama Crimson Tide even attempted to lure Rodriguez to roam the sidelines once patrolled by Bear Bryant. Rodriguez waffled before signing an extension with West Virginia.
West Virginia, made fully aware of Rodriguez's wandering eye during Alabama's pursuit of the coach, had the foresight to protect itself contractually. The contract extension between West Virginia and Rodriguez contained a $4 million buyout clause, enforceable should Rodriguez leave the university. One year after turning down the Alabama job, Rodriguez accepted the head job at the University of Michigan.
Surprisingly, Rodriguez did not negotiate a reduction of the $4 million payment before departing West Virginia, nor did it appear he had an agreement with Michigan that it would assume the payment. Rodriguez refused to pay the $4 million, claiming that the university broke certain oral promises it made to him, leading to litigation in federal court. The case was recently settled – with Rodriguez (perhaps with some contribution from Michigan boosters) paying the entire $4 million to West Virginia.
West Virginia v. Rodriguez could reasonably be read as a shift in power from coaches to the universities. Although the court was not given the opportunity to decide the case, the fact that the settlement paid West Virginia every penny of the buyout certainly suggests that the court would have found the clause enforceable.
In the Rodriguez case, the coach's claims that the university broke promises made to him were weak, as the alleged terms were not contained within the four corners of the contract. (A similar situation arose when June Jones left the University of Hawaii to become the head coach at Southern Methodist University). Schiano, however, was able to get these terms in writing from Rutgers and can leave without penalty if the terms are not fulfilled.
An escape clause such as Schiano's may mitigate the power of universities when it comes time to negotiate a buyout clause with a coach. Also, an escape clause is likely to strengthen an argument that a buyout clause is enforceable, as both parties receive benefits and give up rights under the deal. Accordingly, a court is unlikely to find such a clause unconscionable.
In collegiate football, the top schools may not agree to such clauses. Certain programs – Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, etc. – possess inherent leverage arising from the universities' history and success. Thus, these schools may not need to agree to creative contract terms to attract and retain top coaching talent. However, schools like Rutgers, that run the risk of losing their coaches to larger programs, may be forced to accept such terms to keep coaching talent, like Schiano, on campus.

Opioids & Substance Abuse
Gun Reform
AG Healey, Rep. DiZoglio, and Rep. Vargas endorse Lori Trahan for Congress
HAVERHILL, Mass. (Oct. 4, 2018) — Attorney General Maura Healey offered her full support to Lori Trahan, Democrat for Congress in the Third District, at a Thursday event in Haverhill.
"Lori Trahan is a fighter. She was born, raised and stayed in this District," Healey said. "We know the girl who delivered the local newspaper, the young woman who waited tables at the local diner, the mother and businesswoman will be a Congresswoman who never forgets where she came from and who she represents in Washington."
Trahan thanked Healey for her endorsement and praised the Attorney General for her work on gun control, combating the opioid crisis, and using her office to block any efforts by President Trump "to roll back progress on civil rights, healthcare, environmental protection or immigrants' rights."
"You are living proof that it's simply not enough to get angry – we have to get to work in order to solve problems, effect change, make a difference," Trahan said to Healey. "And that's how I expect to approach my job in Washington."
Joining Healey in endorsing Trahan was state Rep. Diana DiZoglio, who represents Haverhill, Lawrence, Methuen, and North Andover.
"It's so easy to endorse Lori today, because she's one of us. She gets it," DiZoglio said. "She's going to take our issues to D.C. She's going to be a champion for us and I couldn't be more proud to lend her my support today."
Rep. Andy Vargas, who represents Haverhill in the State House endorsed Trahan as well.
"There are really three things that voters look for in a candidate, and Lori's got all three of them," Vargas said. "Does the candidate understand my problems? Does the candidate care about my problems? And does the candidate have the ability to solve my problems? Lori Trahan is that candidate."
Healey, Vargas and DiZoglio were also joined by State Rep. candidates Christina Eckert and Christina Minicucci. Alexandra Chandler and Dan Koh, both of whom also ran for the Democratic nomination for the Third District, were in attendance and have offered their full support to Trahan as well.

Wait – shouldn't that be Your Full Service Post House? Well, Go To Team is so much more! Their Charlotte-based crews, Skip Clark and Dave Baker, were on a two camera shoot for TNT this week and they had to pull out their cover-alls and wrenches before it was all wrapped up. When Pam Surbaugh, their producer, showed up with a squeaky car the two of them went right to work finding the problem and fixing the car! Pam's car is a little Audi hatchback and since David is a car nut and Skip has owned three Volkswagens (in case you might not know, VWs and Audis are the same car), it was easy for them! They pulled the wheel off and found a tiny stone had lodged itself between the brake rotor and the rotor guard. Pam pulled out with four tapes and a quiet car! Whatever It Takes!

Q: DBMS table not found when adding geography to SQL view I'm pretty amateur at SQL but I have an issue that I assume has a simple solution that I'm not getting.

I want to make a new view that is otherwise identical by adding:

I add it after PoliceIncident.IncidentNumber AS PoliceIncidentNumber such that it's the last item in the SQL definition before the FROM statement. The error I get is DBMS table not found. But clearly the DBMS table is there, otherwise the view without me adding that geography line would not work.

Q: Is there a way to make a drop down menu like this? Is there anyone that know how to make a drop down menu like this?

I would put it in this if it was me:
private void richTextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //in here
}

A: Yes , You can use ListBox control.
OR
You can use ComboBox Control by setting the DropDownStyle property to  Simple.
EDIT:
If you want to search for a String from ListBox and Select the Item if it is matching with it
You need to have a TextBox to receive the Serach String as input.

You need to handle the TextBox Key_Down Event handler to start searching.
Note: In below code i have started searching when user enters ENTER key after entering the input search string.
Try This:
private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
        {
            var itemSearched = textBox1.Text;
            int itemCount = 0;
            foreach (var item in listBox1.Items)
            {
                if (item.ToString().IndexOf(itemSearched,StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)!=-1)
                {
                    listBox1.SelectedIndex = itemCount;
                    break;
                }

                itemCount++;
            }
        }
    }

A: Looks like you need AutoCompleteBox from WPFToolkit.
You can set it up from NuGet with following command:
PM> Install-Package WPFToolkit

Here is the code snippet for using this control:
XAML:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
    <toolkit:AutoCompleteBox x:Name="InputBox" Margin="0,77,0,159"/>
</Grid>

C#:
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace WpfApplication1
{
    public partial class MainWindow
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            InputBox.ItemsSource = new List<string>
            { "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten" };
        }
    }

So far I have tried:

*

*Pinging the watch (ping successful)

*Disconnecting and reconnecting to the watch

*Clean building signed package

*Clearing and re-generating my Samsung certificates

*Deleting and re-creating the run configuration

*Cloning a working version of my app into a different directory

Based on this, I think the problem is not project-specific. I think it is probably either a global Tizen Studio configuration issue or a problem with my connection to the watch. However, I have not been able to find any other reports of a java.io.IOException in Tizen Studio runs online.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Dronning Louise Land, various ascents. Gerwyn Lloyd, Tim Radford, and I, members of a North Wales-based mountain rescue team, visited the most northerly significant mountain range in Arctic East Greenland, an area known as Dronning Louise Land. Only two other expeditions had visited this region: a combined British Forces expedition, which traveled south through the area in 1953 for surveying, and a Tangent-organized team, which visited the western sector in 2000. We planned to visit the southeast, an area named The Fairytale Peaks by the 1953 expedition (so called because they did not reach it and said anything they recorded about it would be a fairy tale).
From Constable Point we flew north, refueling at Daneborg. We had requested the Twin Otter to land at N 75°57'59.23", W 25°8' 16.30", but after much circling the pilot told us he could not land, due to extensive blue ice and crevasse fields. He flew northwest, looking for a safe landing site, finally dropping us on the edge of the ice cap at N 76° 11 '24.55", W 26°32'49.73", over 50km from our intended landing point. We estimated it would take us five or six days to reach our original destination, and as our pick-up point was well to the north, we decided it was unfeasible to visit the Fairytales and reluctantly changed our plans, deciding to follow the edge of the ice cap north to our intended pick-up point at N 76°28'8.64", W 26°11'36.48". The majority of peaks we passed along the way would still be unclimbed.
We had a secondary aim: Southwest Dronning Louise Land had been identified as a potentially good site for meteorite collection. Theoretically, any meteorite should be visible as a rock that was distinct from the other specimens in the debris field. Unfortunately and somewhat surprisingly, the geology was so diverse that every rock appeared distinct from every other, and this part of our scientific program was not successful. However, we tried to take a small rock sample from each peak visited, and these were later analyzed.
Arriving on May 13, we made eight camps on our ski journey, being flown out of the area on June 8. The sun never dipped less than 40° above the horizon, but sleep never seemed to be a problem. In total we skied ca 80km and ascended 19 peaks, of which 15 were first ascents. The changes to our intended route meant that the last part of the journey was through an area which had been visited by the 2000 Tangent Expedition, and a few of the peaks had already been climbed.
On May 15 we made the first ascent of Penderyn (2,143m, N 76°13'28.44", W 26°38'21.68"), naming it after a single malt Welsh whiskey. From our Camp 3 at 1,912m we made five first ascents: on the 19th Copa Rhosyn (2,067m, N 76°15'19.10", W 26°21 '06.63") and Y Lliwedd (2,052m N 76°15'35.23", W 26°20'03.55"); on the 21st Cornucopia (1,996m, N 76°15'51.53", W 26°22'29.03"), Foel Fras (1,917m, N 76°16'30.00", W 26°24'33.72"), and Carnedd Môr Ladron (Pirate Peak, 2,049m N 76°15'40.32", W 26°22'35.51"). Farther north on the 23rd we made the first ascent of Bryn Poeth (2,084m, N 76°20'59.28", W 26°20'48.18") via snow slopes of about Scottish II and a splendid snow ridge. The name means "warm hill" in Welsh and reflected the temperatures on the day. On the 24th we made the second ascent of Softice (1,833m, N 76°19'52.65", W 26°19'53.72), a peak first climbed by the 2000 expedition, and on the following day the first ascent of Yr Esgair (The Staircase, 2,002m, N 76°17'55.08", W 26°32'58.38"), named for the shape of its east ridge, the upper section of which comprised fantastic evenly spaced slabs. After we moved north to Camp 5 on the 27th, overnight gale force winds eased during the following afternoon and allowed an ascent of the nearest peak, a flat- topped pyramid named Dickens Bjerg, (2,241m, N 76°23'41.30", W 26o21'09.11"). Ours was the second ascent. On the 31st the plan was to climb a peak near to our Camp 6 and then head for the pick-up point. We split up to make the second ascent of Falkonner Klippen (2,088m N 76°26'55.76", W 26°19'51.40") by two routes: one by a rotten, broken rock ridge and the second by a more direct line up an ice couloir. This peak was first identified by the 1953 team.
During our ski to Camp 7, we passed a tempting ridge on a small peak. Next day we attempted it. The ridge was easy to attain but soon reared up into a steep section, possibly Scottish III. Above a level section a sharp ridge led to a pleasant rock scramble and the summit. A rappel from a double Abalakov and a dodgy ice screw saw us back on safe ground: a fantastic route. We named the formation DB Ridge (1,941m, N 76°27'03.65", W 26°15'28.16"). The same day we made the first ascent of Dinky Do (1,904m N 76°27'17.04", W 26°07'48.66") and on June 2 In-Pin (1,980m N 76°26'21.96", W 26°16'38.58"). We also climbed Aonach Mor (1,941m N 76°26'08.16", W 26°12'43.86") on the 2nd, a second ascent. On the 3rd we moved our camp just over 1km to join an expedition led by Nigel Edwards, which was to be collected by the same Twin Otter. Due to mechanical failure and then poor weather, we couldn't be picked up immediately and in the meantime made first ascents of Carnedd y Genod (1,974m, N 76°27'16.62", W 26°04'59.22") and Mynydd Glaslyn (1,893m, N 76°28'10.32", W 26°00'58.14"), both on the 3rd, and Pod (N 76°29', W 26° 16'; coordinates are approximate due to GPS failure) and Golden Dome (1,954m, N 76°27'19.74", W 26°07'0.36") on the 4th.
Southwest Dronning Louise Land is a beautiful part of the world. The mountain vistas rival any other, and with the serenity of the Arctic, they provide a magical and unique setting.


The veterinary care for sports medicine related injuries evaluated at Conley and Koontz Equine Hospital are custom tailored to each individual horse regardless of discipline. Lameness constitutes a high percentage of performance limiting problems in horses; therefore, comprehensive diagnostics, current therapies, and performance horse management are available to maximize client's expectations. Our ultimate goal for the equine athlete is to reduce injury, while optimizing performance using evidence-based sports medicine.
We now have a therapy that can be used for all horses. If started earlier in the course of joint disease, Pro-Stride can also help repair the damaged joint.
A novel therapy called Pro-Stride is now available for the treatment of osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease in horses. Treatment with Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein (IRAP) utilizes progressive therapy to combat osteoarthritis in your horse. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is an inflammatory compound that is secreted by many types of cells. IL-1 is an important part of the inflammatory response but in the case of your horse's joints sometimes can be detrimental. The joint fluid carries a protein called interleukin-1, which plays an important role in inflammation and accelerates the deterioration of tissues like joint cartilage. Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein (IRAP) plays an important role by blocking IL-1 from binding to tissues and inhibits the damaging consequences of IL-1. In addition, Pro-Stride has significantly elevated levels of other anti-inflammatory cytokines and anabolic growth factors.
The procedure begins with drawing blood from the horse that will be treated with Pro-Stride into a syringe and centrifuged to separate the plasma (abundant with IRAP, anti-inflammatory cytokines, and growth factors) from the blood.
Pro-Stride is another therapy to be added to the battery of weapons that the equine veterinarian has to combat osteoarthritis in your horse. The reason Pro-Stride is so exciting is its' potential for a long-term effect on battling osteoarthritis. Whereas some of the therapies currently used might only have short-term effect, Pro-Stride has the potential to stop the cartilage matrix from being degraded and increase healing. Pro-Stride has the ability to stop the inflammation cycle and bring comfort to your horse.
Shockwave has routinely been used for the treatment of tendon and ligament injuries, muscle pain, angular limb deformities, delayed bone healing, and osteoarthritis. Shockwave often improves the quality of healing, the cosmetic outcome, and may return your horse to competition earlier.
Shock wave therapy uses high intensity pressure waves to increase cell and capillary growth rates as well as give an analgesic effect.
Recently the vets at Conley and Koontz Equine Hospital have used shockwave therapy for the treatment of angular limb deformities in foals with good success.

Reports: NBA, players' union agree to require teams to sign replacement players for COVID-19 absences
By Kurt HelinDec 20, 2021, 7:30 AM EST

Sunday, the NBA postponed five games because of COVID outbreaks (three that day, two later in the week). That brings to seven the number of games postponed this season, and that number could climb with 64 players having entered health and safety protocols in the past week (stat vai Baxter Holmes).
NBA owners reportedly said in a conference call this week that avoiding postponements was a top priority. However, since the owners can't control the virus, they are instead focusing on stocking teams with replacement players.
Teams with more than one player out due to COVID health and safety protocols will have to sign replacement players via "hardship" 10-day contracts, under a new agreement between the NBA and players' union. Adrian Wojnarowski and Tim MacMahon of ESPN had the details.
Under the agreement, teams will be allowed to sign a replacement player for each positive COVID-19 case that crops up across its roster. So if a team has five positive cases of COVID-19, for example, it could sign five replacement players.
Meanwhile, teams will have to sign at least one replacement player if they have two positive COVID-19 cases; at least two if they have three positive COVID-19 cases; and at least three if they have four or more positive COVID-19 cases.
The league wants to press on, even as it tries to find a delicate balance between player safety and keeping its business running. It's very possible COVID-19 absences will play a role during the NBA's showcase Christmas Day games, with players such as James Harden, Kevin Durant, Trae Young and more already out and possibly not returning before the holiday.
While there have been calls for the league to shut down for a couple of weeks to get a handle on this — including from at least one player — don't bet on that happening. Think about it logically: Is sending players home for two weeks where they will be indoors gathered with family for Christmas/New Year's Eve how you slow the spread of the disease? Plus, there is no guarantee that in a couple of weeks (or a month, or whenever) that things will be better with the virus around the nation.
The NBA is going to try and push through this, and that means jobs for some G-League players. At least temporarily.

The grit and dedication of hundreds of young people in South Ayrshire has been officially recognised at a special ceremony at Ayr Racecourse. The latest success stories from the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards were celebrated by more than 800 guests at the Council's annual event on Thursday, 21 February.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is open to young people aged between 14 and 25 years, who undertake the award at either Bronze, Silver or Gold levels, with each level's programme including sections on volunteering, physical, skills and expedition. Gold participants also have to complete a residential section.
South Ayrshire has the highest rate of DofE participation of Scotland's local authorities with 50% of 15 and 16 year olds taking part. At this year's ceremony 419 people were recognised, with 25 Gold, 99 Silver and 295 Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Awards presented, marking the culmination of hours of individual work and group activity.
Activities include: project work in science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM), charity work, sports coaching, team sports, playing a musical instrument, learning to drive, fitness activities, dance, horse riding, life-saving, acting & drama.
Councillor William Grant, South Ayrshire Council's Portfolio Holder for Children and Young People said, "We're committed to co-ordinating and improving employment opportunities for young people, and programmes such as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award are a fantastic way of getting people noticed.
"In an increasingly competitive world our young people need every advantage they can get, and with community contact, team work, not to mention the sheer grit and dedication needed to achieve an award at any level, this latest recognition demonstrates the skills that many employers will be looking for.
"I'd like to thank the parents and carers; teachers; and of course our volunteers for helping to support our young people, and to the participants themselves – between you, you've done South Ayrshire proud."

In the present day changing web ecosystem, the increase of DDoS attacks has become a significant concern. No individual or organization can be considered safe from being a victim to these huge attacks and bigger player on the global scale have been borne the effect over the past couple of years. With the rise in DDoS attacks growing in size and magnitude, it proves to be vital for website administrators to begin taking more precautions to protect their servers.
By far, the largest DDoS attack to be experienced was that of the BBC website in early 2016 causing hours of downtime, leaving a major impact on the visitor and the site itself. Later in 2016, the smart phone game Pokemon Go was a victim to the DDoS attack, shortly after the launch of the game. The impact of the attack was experienced by the users across over 26 countries. Around the same time as Pokemon Go attack, the U.S. Library of Congress was proven to lack immunity from a massive DDoS attack. This particular attack brought the government website down and also prevented the Library employees from accessing their work email.
As the scope for these attacks grow, it has been proven strongly that no entity is completely immune to a possible DDoS attack. It is encouraged that web administrators need to use information about DDoS attacks to their advantage. Possibilities to foresee attacks make it possible for administrators to employ additional security measures and keep their guards up, thus enabling DDoS mitigation. It is important for website administrators to check the level of DDoS program used in their hosting plans. This proves to be helpful by adding a pre-existing server for a set cost that filters the traffic on the website without compromising on the speed and performance for visitors.


What's in store for Aquarius this year?
Whatever transpires outwardly and at work, some major progress occurs at an inner level. Other people may sometimes not notice but you'll be enlightened and prove your intuitive powers. Imaginative choices bring success that you'll hold onto. February's sudden revelation suits you perfectly; yet look out for a colleague's flight of fancy. It may feel like someone has blown your cover but the truth strengthens your resolve. Plus a guardian angel is guiding every step. Spring's windfall could be mind-blowing. Then this summer old friends re-appear, reminding you of earlier mistakes while upsetting your world in a positive way. Autumn is action-time for your ambitions. A clash over cash involves you keeping your cards close to your chest, versus more upfront moves. Suspecting a plot in the background sharpens your awareness, but try to avoid paranoia about secret enemies – this is a less positive figment of your fertile imagination.
Where you are concerned, financial management has its unique (sometimes crazy-seeming) logic. Creature comforts aren't really a priority – you are more likely to splash out on stimulation. You are inventive with money and rarely conform; this year an expert authority reveals unexpected riches.
You embody the art of cool with an individual sense of style, and you may well invent quirky fashions that are way ahead of their time… You can wear funky asymmetric lines, embrace global influences and have a taste for metallic accessories and eye-catching abstract designs.

ENGLEWOOD, Fla. -- The Nazareth College women's lacrosse team withstood a valiant second half comeback attempt as the Golden Flyers held of the Bears of Bridgewater State University, 10-9, on Wednesday afternoon at SpringFling 2019 in Englewood, Florida.
The Golden Eagles improve to 2-3 on the season, while the Bears fall to 3-1.
Junior attack Victoria McDonough (Marshfield, Mass.) paced Bridgewater State with two goals and a game-best four assists including the 100th helper of her career. McDonough, who became the fifth student-athlete in BSU women's lacrosse history to record 100 career assists, reached the milestone at the 10:56 mark of the first half as she set up a goal by senior midfielder Lisa Moynihan (Norwood, Mass.).
Senior midfielder Elizabeth Ettridge (Marshfield, Mass.) and junior attack Hayley White (Dracut, Mass.) added two goals apiece for the Bears.
Freshman midfielder Emma Robinson (Central Square, N.Y.) led all players with a game-high four goals, while sophomore attack Callahan Lyon (Tully, N.Y.) checked in with a pair of markers for the Golden Eagles.
Nazareth led 6-2 at the break and extended its lead to 8-3 with 22:28 remaining in the second half after back-to-back goals by Robinson and Lyon. A goal by Ettridge followed by consecutive strikes by White with McDonough assisting on all three tallies pulled the Bears to within 8-6 midway through the stanza.
A pair of Robinson markers sandwiched around an Ettridge goal made it a 10-7 game with 3:29 left to play. McDonough found the back of the net at the 2:15 mark and freshman attack Jacqueline DeLorey (Westwood, Mass.) pulled the Bears to within one, 10-9, with just 13 seconds showing on the scoreboard. Moynihan won the ensuing draw for Bridgewater State, but the Bears were unable to get a shot off before time expired as the Golden Eagles hung on for the victory.
Nazareth finished with a 26-21 shot advantage for the game, while Bridgewater held a 13-8 edge in draw controls. Moynihan led all players with a season-high six draws, while Ettridge notched three.

Shockwave was my first top scan and I am definitely looking forward to riding more. While its cycle is incredibly short, the ride is an extremely disorienting experience. All of the axes of motion work together to swing and flip the vehicles for the entire duration of the ride. Honestly, the entire experience reminded me of the Zippers I love so much at carnivals. But one major benefit that this ride has over the Zipper is the absence of the cages since the ride feels so much freer and wilder.
Very good top scan, though not as good as Adventurelands old one. The movement was just as good providing a very thrilling and disorienting ride combining spinning with flipping, but the cycle was relatively short.
It just feels like you are being tossed about. Not very pleasant.
This is the only version of this ride that I have ridden and it is quite good. However, since there is so much movement, I found that in some cycles the different axes of motion actually work against each other a little bit. Other times everything works together and the ride is very intense. A good flat ride.
An awesome flat this top scan blew me away with an unpredictable swing every time this ride has a close encounter with the fly as well....if youre with a large group try swaying back and forth....it makes it so much better! Great ride!
A very insane flat. I was disappointed when I missed out on the parks Jump2, so I decided to ride Shockwave, the parks Top Scan. Having never been on one, I didnt know what to expect. Its dimensions werent all too impressive, though it made up for the lack of size with a crazy ride. With movement on three different axis of rotation, the ride was full of suprises and intense movement, and perhaps the best part was the narrow gap between the ride and the wild mouse coaster, which gave a great scare everytime we passed by close. One of my favorite flat rides ever, and now I need to get one closer to home.
Probably the best flat ride Ive ever been on. It looks incredibly cool, it rides very intensely, and its just a lot of fun. If you time it right, you and your row can help spin your cars a lot more. A whole lot of fun, great spinning, usually short lines, good capacity - a great flat.
This ride is intense and unpredictable. It swings you in all directions and throws you all over the place. This ride isnt to be missed. It is fun, rerideable, it has a large capacity, and a long duration.
