With the Region 4 DVD player, it comes standard for allowing multi-region.
Just bought it and tested it with my Region 1 Sports Night DVDs.
I am in Australia and all Panasonic payers are now sold alreayd multizoned. I have a s75 and great machine. What I don't know is the hack if any for turning off macrovision. Anybody shed any light on this!
Regarding the macrovision. In moscow it's cured only by installing a chip into the player. no other way is possible I guess. cost is around USD50.
Yes! I have region 4 DVD Player (Panasonic S75) and It has multi-region playback function. I tested with region number 1 DVD movie and plays well~ No problem found!!!! Great Player!!!!
In this link you will found modded firmware to change regional code and make the player region-free. Simply burn (with finalization) the FRM file on a straight CD-R/CD-RW ISO9660 Mode1 (no joliet) and voila'. Regional changing is possible via the unit remote.
I have tried that firmware and it didn't work, now I have no picture just sound and it is still not multi-region, so be aware.

Deceased teenager appears in online ad
Taylor Losier
Last April, Rehtaeh Parsons, a teenager from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, made headlines when she attempted suicide, and later died from complications related to the attempt, after of months of cyber-bullying. The cyber-bullying was focused on the online distribution of photos from an alleged sexual assault in November 2011. She has made headlines once again after an online dating agency, ionechat.com, posted an advertisement using Parsons' picture. The ad, which appeared on Facebook, encouraged people to sign up and "meet Canadian girls and women for friendship, dating and relationships."
Anh Dung, an administrator of ionechat.com, has apologized for the incident through an email sent to CTV News. Dung wrote that he "simply used a tool to scrape images randomly on Google Images and inserted it into the [Facebook] ad campaign." He added that he was not aware that it was Parsons' photo, and was ignorant of her story.
Facebook has since taken down the ad, and has deleted the account of the online dating agency. They have also banned the group from ever advertising with the social media site again.
"This is an extremely unfortunate example of an advertiser scraping an image from the internet and using it in their ad campaign," Facebook said in a statement released after the incident. "We apologize for any harm this has caused."
Ionechat.com, which was an affiliate of another dating website, be2, has been shut down due to the incident. A be2 statement to CBC claims that "the behaviour of the company providing ionechat.com was careless in the extreme and violated a company policy."
Parsons' father, Glen Canning, expressed his disbelief in a blog post, saying that he is "bewildered and disgusted" by the use of the photo.
"What a thing for a parent to see. Especially because Rehtaeh is the victim of a sexual assault and they have her on a dating website," said Canning. "Not only that, she's also a minor. What does that say?"
Parsons' mother, Leah Parsons, has also spoken to the media and, in an interview with Global News, said that she and her husband are "constantly reliving the nightmare over and over again."

Q: Is using Scala on Android worth it? Is there a lot of overhead? Problems? I was thinking of building an app on Android with Scala instead of the regular Java (or the equivalent I guess). Is it worth it?
Any problems and unnecessary headaches?

A: We discussed this at Scala Lift Off London last Friday and the consensus seemed to be that it generally works fine as long as you avoid Actors. Also, the sbt-android-plugin was highly recommended. Nathan Hamblen's blog has many posts on Android and the ones also tagged Scala have a lot of gotchas worth looking out for.

A: Working with Scala should be mostly painless, as the dex compiler just works with bytecode - which is exactly what Scala produces.
Your biggest problem then is the dependency on scala-library, as dex expects everything to be in a single Jar.  This is best handled with Proguard (which will also remove unused code and give you a smaller executable, ideal for mobile)

Current best practice is to use SBT with the Android plugin; It'll take care of everything for you: http://github.com/jberkel/android-plugin
If you must use Eclipse and the plugin supplied by Google, then you're going to have a non-standard directory structure.  I also wrote an article on how to deal with this: http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/scala-ide/Developing_for_Android
But be warned... it takes a lot more effort that way!

A: There is a talk by guys from bu.mp on Scala Days 2011.
Disclaimer: While they talk a lot about issues they've faced, the overall experience was definitely positive. Moreover, this were the problems of one particular team and they are minor ones.
Summary:

*

*Memory usage. Closures eat memory. Scala has closures all over the place. While it is not a relative big problem (memory overheads) on your table PC, it should be considered when you develop for mobile phone. You may ask: how they solved it? They had a hunt for a tight loops and then optimized them (rewritten in closureless scala/java). (26th minute) I think Java 8 with native closures support will ease this problem Next scala release will target java 8 platform with a new backend and aim for much better performance. Discussion on roadmap is here.

*Slower compiler (as Michal Galpin said they have 15 seconds for Java code compilation, about a minute for Scala and about an order a magnitude more for Proguard, but note that it depends on your code base and machines, but I suspect that ratio will be the same). It especially annoying when you making UI, like moving pixels, buttons and so on, and want to quickly see the result. (7th minute)

*There were some issues with inner classes which are quite common for Android (look at 23:00 for details).

*There were  rare bugs in scalac (scala compiler) in scala-java-collections interop. The problems were solved by writing this things explicitly (I suspect that is not a lot of boilerplate at all).

While he talks about IDEs too, I don't think that it is a problem (look this post, about Scala environment). Guys that do Scala IDE and IntelliJ do their work well and IDE support is getting better and better.
For unit testing one could use RoboSpecs (allows you to run unit tests inside JVM, not inside emulator), which is faster.
One of the biggest problems I've stumbled upon is the limitations of the dex format (no more than 65536 method references per dex file). Scala library simply doesn't fit into limits, so you have to workaround that by:

*

*using Proguard that will trim the fat from scala lib. But it is really slow on my laptop, and is just wasting time in the development stage (but is much much helpfull when you are releasing your app to the Google Play)

*using predexed library. The bad thing is that this project is a little abandoned and contains only 2.9.0-1 version.

*preinstalling scala on your phone

Some guys claiming that there are problems with IDEs, but things getting changed fast: the current version of the IntelliJ IDEA 12 not only has a good support of Scala as a plugin, but also contains UI Designer for Android. Moreover, you can use Eclipse which has a support from both Android (by Google) and Scala (by Typesafe) sides. Android Studio (the new IDE based on IDEA which was announced on Google IO '13 and is developed by Google) support IDEA plugins thus Scala.

South Africa beat New Zealand to win the Tokyo Sevens Cup Final
Catch up on extended highlights of the final day's play at the Tokyo Sevens, where South Africa beat New Zealand 24-19 in an exciting Cup final to claim their second tournament win of the season.
South Africa trailed 12-0 at the break but scored tries through Cecil Afrika, Seabelo Senatla and Cornel Hendricks, while Branco du Preez kicked nine points with three convertions and a penalty.
"It is unbelievable. It is good momentum going into the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Moscow," said coach Paul Treu, following on from their 40-21 win over NZ in the Las Vegas Sevens final.
"It's is not every day you beat New Zealand twice in the final. Every win you have to take, and we can go back to South Africa as a happy team."
Australia, last year's Tokyo winners, finished third after beating France 31-7.
The USA won the Plate while England won the Bowl, and Canada won the Shield.
After seven legs of the nine-round series, New Zealand maintained their lead on 132 points, while South Africa moved up to second on 100 points. Fiji are in third place on 98.

Roger Lewis
Giants WR Sterling Shepard (neck, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 17. Roger Lewis seems like the best play in the Giants' passing game this week.
by Brandon Niles
· Jul 07, 2018 · 3:29 PM EDT
NYG WR Roger Lewis - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook
Fantasy Upside
Roger Lewis was third on the team last season with 416 yards after multiple injuries to the Giants' receiving corps forced him into action. Lewis has some upside as a deep threat and he should be in line for slot work this season, with the potential to step in outside if Odell Beckham Jr. or Sterling Shepard suffer injuries like they did last year. If that happens, Lewis could develop into a spot-starter in most fantasy leagues.
Fantasy Downside
Despite the opportunities he was given last season, Lewis caught only 50 percent of the 72 passes thrown his way and scored only twice all season. Lewis has potential, but he doesn't look ready to be a primary receiver, and while opportunity rules in fantasy, he's unlikely to become more than a fifth option for the team in the passing game. Beckham, Shepard, tight end Evan Engram, and rookie first-round running back Saquon Barkley will all be viewed as better options for Eli Manning.
2018 Bottom Line
Lewis should remain on waivers to start the season, and barring injuries, he's unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact. The Giants used to be able to sustain three receivers, but it's been a long time since that was the case, and with the other weapons on the roster, it's hard to imagine Lewis getting enough looks to be relevant.

Washburn University joins Kansas and the United States in mourning the loss of one of its most decorated and celebrated alumni.
2021 » 12 » Washburn University joins Kansa
washburnlaw washburn
Patrick Early
Topeka, Kan. — "Sen. Dole made America a better place for all Americans," said Washburn University President Jerry Farley. "Like many of the students who come to Washburn today seeking an education, Bob Dole grew up in a small town in Kansas. It is our duty to pass on to future generations his importance and the impact he made from those humble beginnings here in Kansas. He truly lived Washburn's moto of 'non nobis solum,' 'not for ourselves alone,' and we are proud to call him an alumnus of Washburn and the School of Law."
Dole, ba '52, jd '52, h '69, h '85, remained committed to serving and giving back to Washburn throughout his life. Along with his wife, Sen. Elizabeth Dole, they established and funded at Washburn the Senator Robert J. Dole Law Professorship, the Robert J. Dole Center for Law and Government and the Honorable Robert J. Dole Scholarship for Law Students with Disabilities. They also made substantial gifts to other areas on campus including the new School of Law building. He served on the School of Law board of governors and the Alumni Association and Foundation board of trustees.
"Sen. Dole's service to Washburn and the School of Law will forever be unmatched," said Marshall Meek, president, Washburn University Alumni Association and Foundation. "On behalf of all alumni and friends of Washburn University, we mourn his passing. But we also celebrate a life lived in service to so many, including his beloved alma mater. The mark he made at Washburn University through his generosity and service will forever be a part of his great legacy."
Washburn recognized Dole with two honorary doctor of law degrees in 1969 and 1985. A bronze statue of Dole was erected on campus in 2018 and an outdoor plaza at the new School of Law building will be named in his honor. The Washburn Alumni Association honored Dole with a Distinguished Service Award in 1966, and the School of Law Alumni Association gave him a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
"He built relationships throughout his life based on trust, respect and integrity," Farley said. "From his dedication to veterans and disabled Americans, to his principled congressional leadership, he set an example every American should emulate. Washburn University joins the rest of Kansas, the United States and entire world in mourning his passing while honoring, celebrating and memorializing his amazing life."

First, choose the type of phototherapy. Phototherapy is divided into three types, namely PUVA, UVB and excimer laser therapy, effect of three kinds of light for vitiligo is not the same. PUVA is the most traditional therapy, with some side effects, the scope of application also than some narrow is the worst effects of the treatment of three kinds of light; UVB with narrow spectrum and a wide spectrum of, on the clinical use of the multi is a narrow spectrum UVB, namely NB-UVB, the curative effect good to PUVA; excimer laser is the latest technology, clinical application is not wide, but the treatment effect is the best, but also the most secure.
Second, the number and the time of phototherapy. Patients with different physical, skin lesions on the ultraviolet radiation sensitive degree is also different, so the different frequency and time of phototherapy. In order to achieve control of the most appropriate treatment, to avoid excessive phototherapy. Phototherapy excessive early symptoms of skin redness, itching.
Third, the type of leukoplakia. leukoplakia and incomplete leukoplakia points, completely leukoplakia melanocytes function completely damaged, unresponsive to ultraviolet, some poor treatment effect, some patients with lesions at the hair turned white, which will affect the phototherapy effect.
Fourth, the age of the patient. Ifant vitiligo patients with skin delicate, sensitive response to a stimulus, not comfortable phototherapy; child patients with vitiligo phototherapy effect to better than adults, prevent phototherapy excess is the key; the efficacy of phototherapy in vitiligo elderly patients there is some difference.
Fifth, the use of photosensitive medications. The use of photosensitive drugs can not properly can effectively enhance the effect of phototherapy.
Sixth, parts of vitiligo and psoriasis area. The capillaries to, and better blood circulation parts of the efficacy of phototherapy, such as the face. The lesions of small size phototherapy effect good, such as limited vitiligo. Whereas the treatment effect than some difference.
Some of the factors affecting the effect of phototherapy of vitiligo are controllable, such as phototherapy kinds of selection, photosensitive drug use and phototherapy frequency and time with to hold these controllable factors, to provide therapeutic effect.

We believe that a higher investment skill leads to higher long-term investment profits. When people think of investment skills they often picture a combination of street smartness and experience i.e. innate capability plus learning-by-doing. We think that one additional and critical aspect of learning to be a good investor is reflection, where someone synthesizes, abstracts and articulates the lessons taught by experience, i.e. learning-by-thinking. This is what financial literature brings, successful practitioners' reflections on their hard earned experience. Furthermore we hold the firm belief that those who give will also receive as others will want to share their insights. In short - we believe in sharing of financial wisdom.
By writing reviews on books related to investments and business we force ourselves to reflect on others' experiences and views. If we are to share what we have read with others we must also make pretty sure we have grasped the full meaning of the texts. Combining this with our own experience will hopefully make us more skilled investors while having good fun.
Although we like making money, this site is operated on a non-profit basis. Any revenues emanating from visitors following links and buying books at Amazon will be reinvested to improve the site.

Walking through the old city and stumbling over this – wouldn't you just love to have lunch there?
A peek at the science exhibition at the Graz Spring Fair – showing exhibits from Apollo missions to the Mars Rover to be (perhaps) on to the pod Felix Baumgartner jumped out of.
First walk through the city after the winter break – and it's green everywhere!
The weather is back to spring and walking outside is possible again – so we made our first walk around the city and visited the walkway along the river. The graffiti there is well worth seeing!

Дарзалас (Darzalas или Derzalas) е тракийски бог на подземния свят и плодородието, сходен с Кабир, чийто култ е засвидетелстван в древния град Одесос, днешна Варна.

Одесос е древногръцки полис, основан през VI век пр. Хр. от милетски колонисти. Става голям търговски център през V век пр. Хр. Преди основаването на гръцкия полис на мястото е съществувало тракийско рибарско и земеделско селище.

Тракийският бог Дарзалас е главното божество на Одесос, почитан като покровител на града. Представян е като зрял мъж с брада, полегнал на клине, държащ в ръката си рога на изобилието. В чест на Дарзалас били устройвани мистерии, шествия, игри и състезания, за които свидетелстват старогръцки и латински извори. В Одесос е имало и храм на Аполон, покровител на гръцките колонисти.

Noi Yet Another 90s Coldwave act to rampage again, showing newer acts how Hard Industrial is done with a skill and drive that only experience can bring out. Saw them live after a decade when Full Black Habit came out and they were even better than their former awesome live sets. 16Volt doesn't need to prove anything, but if you want proof, just listen… Favorite track: Burn.
Includes unlimited streaming of Beating Dead Horses via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Machine rockers 16Volt are set to announce their third album on Metropolis Records, Beating Dead Horses. The album is produced by 16Volt's own Eric Powell and co-mixed by Shaun Thingvold (Strapping Young Lad, Front Line Assembly, Lamb of God). Refining it's sound, 16Volt continues to marry the heavy rock guitars with the intricate beats and layers of synths and samplers that the band is known for. The release features thirteen new songs, including the aggressive tracks "Sick Sick Sick", "Fight Or Flight" and "Beating Dead Horses" and the track "Burn" which the band will be releasing a video of in Spring.

, née , was a Japanese novelist and a mystery writer favored as the queen of both mystery novels and tricks in Japan, often compared to Agatha Christie. Her spouse is Takashi Yamamura, a painter and a retired high school teacher. Her younger brother is Hiroshi Kimura, a professor of Political Science and her daughter is Momiji Yamamura, an actress.

Biography

Born in Kyoto, Misa Yamamura graduated from Kyoto Prefectural University Faculty of Letters, majored Japanese Literature in 1957 and was employed as a Japanese literature teacher at Fushimi Junior High School in Kyoto City until 1964  when she got married. Beginning writing since around 1967, Yamamura was nominated three times for  in 1970, 1972 and 1973, and it was in 1974 when she made a major debut with "Disappeared into the Sea of Melaka" . Yamamura wrote two TV screen plays before her major debut for a very popular series of detective drama . Those were written for Episodes 474 (co-authored with Norimasa Ogawa) and 476, both broadcast in 1970.

Among her over 70 novels, many were set in Kyoto, and a good number of those were used as the original works for television dramas since 1970s as well as for several theater plays. She incorporated her background into her novels as she held official instructors' license for Ikenobo flower arrangement (6th rank or Jun-kakan) and tea ceremony with a Japanese dance Natori, or an instructor allowed to hold a stage name (Hanayagi school). She appeared in a few TV drama based on her novels cast with Momiji Yamamura.

Misa Yamamura introduced herself to a mystery writer Kyotaro Nishimura before her debut, and their friendship lasted till her unexpected death in 1996. Momiji, her daughter, has also been appearing in a variety of dramas based on novels by Kyotaro Nishimura as well. Many years after she had expired, Nishimura published a biographical novel "A Woman Writer"  with a portrait picture of Misa Yamamura. "A Flowery Coffin"  was originally written in four parts between October 27 and November 17 for a weekly magazine Shūkan Asahi in 2006, and a hard cover with the same title was published in November, 2006. In both titles, the heroine is Natsuko Emoto, a woman mystery writer. Nishimura dedicated those books to Misa Yamamura as he wrote on the band over the book jacket.

On September 5, 1996, she was found dead in the room she had used as her office in Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, due to heart failure at the age of 62 years. Yamamura left a will that her eldest daughter Momiji Yamamura should be given a role whoever a director produces works based on her novels for drama for television or theater.
Momiji Yamamura has been providing the original plans for TV drama and theatrical works that uses her mother's novels, and it includes those episodes of two-hour TV dramas titled "Misa Yamamura, the Novelist Detective" has been broadcast since 2012, with the leading role portrayed as Misa Yamamura the novelist detective. Momiji is co-starred with the main cast Yūko Asano, who plays Misa Yamamura.

I am the younger sister, 35, of a 42 year old brother with a drug addiction and probably some form of mental disorder. He is out of prison and now in a 28 day rehab program.
I keep trying to get my mom to get help before he gets out so she can stop the same patterns that happen over and over. He gets out of somewhere - jail, prison, half-way house, rehab ... comes and lives with my parents, against my dad's judgement (my dad is my brother's step dad) and starts off well - working, involved in the family, takes care of his daughter when he has her and then the cycle begins.
Stops doing things around the house to help my parents, sleeps all day, not working, etc. I feel no boundaries are set and kept by my mom because she has a lot of shame and guilt regarding how he was raised.
However, it doesn't seem to be helping my brother or her marriage to my father. In her eyes, she can't deny him a place to stay because I think she is afraid that if something happens to him, she would never be able to live with herself. HELP!! What can I do or say as the daughter?
just don't understand addiction and what to do, especially in relation to someone they love. 'Enabling' and 'protecting' are often confused for acting in love, when in actual fact they end up doing more harm than good.
So hopefully with a bit of education and understanding, your Mom will learn more effective ways of handling your brother, as well as be able to begin her own process of healing so that she no longer feels compelled to over-compensate for whatever happened with your brother when raising him.
And that best place to get the help she needs is through groups called Naranon (for families of drug addicts) and Al-Anon (for family members of alcoholics). So take your Mom to a meeting nearby where you can meet other family members going through what you are. Not only will you and your Mom learn a great deal, but the support of others who are in a similar position to you would be make the world of difference.
Addiction is a family disease - because the family is also so badly affected. That's why having a proper support structure and opportunity for healing like you get at Naranon and Al-Anon is so important. So with the correct guidance and support in place, I'm sure you Mom will learn how to deal with your brother much more effectively. For his sake, and hers. Best of Luck.


Excellent service from check in to check out, room was nice, clean and spacious. The bed was a little softer than I'm used to but still reasonably comfortable. Excellent food at the restaurant. Great area too - close to hundreds of restaurants and attractions.
I have stayed at this Hotel several times, however I was a little disappointed on my visit this time.
Overall good hotel stay. I had a room had an adjoining door to the next room and they were too loud for my liking. Buffet breakfast was overpriced as was the valet parking but service was very good. Friendly and helpful.Would stay again but just ask for a room without adjoining door.
This hotel is in a great location for exploring Montreal and its museums. The rooms are large and comfortable and very clean. But the best thing about the place is the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. They make you feel welcome and valued.


The harmony vocal group the Modernaires originally formed in Buffalo, NY, in 1935 (all of its members were high school pals), and were best known for singing with orchestras. Starting off as a trio (including members Hal Dickinson, Chuck Goldstein, and Bill Conway), the group would often assume a different name during these engagements, going by the Don Juan-Two and Three when they performed with the Ted Fio Rito Orchestra and the Three Wizards of Ozzie during a stint with the Ozzie Nelson Band.
Soon after, the Modernaires expanded to a quartet with the addition of member Ralph Brewster, as they joined Paul Whiteman's musical organization in 1937, leading to performances on his radio show.
The Modernaires received their big break two years later, when the one-and-only Glenn Miller asked them to record a sequel to his big hit "Make Believe Ballroom," titled "It's Make Believe Ballroom Time," as they began performing regularly around the world with the Miller Band.
Further hits with Miller soon followed, including "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "Kalamazoo," "I Know Why," and "Juke Box Saturday Night," as the Modernaires welcomed another member, Paula Kelly, to their ranks (who was the wife of Dickinson). The Modernaires were handpicked by Frank Sinatra in 1950 to back him up, as the group continued to record and perform steadily. Many Modernaires compilations have been issued over the years, including 2001's The Very Best Of on the Collectables label.— Greg Prato – Paula Kelly Jr.

Track Day Icons: Radical SR3 SL
by Jacob Joseph Motorsport / Comments
Although it can be street legal, the Radical was designed to perform best on the track.
In all fairness, there is a street pack available for pretty much every car which Radical makes that can convert it to street legal status. But SR3 SL is the first model which the company has produced which was designed for specifically for street use (the "SL" in the name stands for "street legal"). That is to say, it wasn't designed for that at all, it is still very much a track car, but Radical wanted to be able to offer you the option, whether it was a good idea or not. The important thing to remember about Radical is their race heritage.
Sure, Caterham has strong ties to F1, but the only car in this series which can be said to be directly based off of a top-tier race car is the SR3 SL. That car is the SR9 LMP2, Radical's most earnest attempt at an endurance racer. This was a car, built in 2005, which was not intended to compete directly with the big Audis, but rather in the smaller LMP2 class of prototypes. It didn't fare all that well, but it did complete not only the race at La Sarthe, but also all of the races in the Le Mans series. For new constructor, and especially a small one which doesn't have Audi's budget, this was quite an accomplishment.
Radical has also participated in the series using purchased cars, and it is the lessons learned from racing themselves which they bring to building their own cars. Their other models are even more track focused than the SR3 SL, and have earned a reputation for being supremely good giant slayers. Most models are powered by the Suzuki Hayabusa engine, a high-revving piece of reciprocating insanity which is never more at home than it is on a track. But for the SR3 SL, Radical was looking for a flagship model which you could conceivably use to drive to the track as well.
Kimi Raikkonen: An Homage To F1's Retiring Iceman
So the SR3 SL has a heater, an interior light, power mirrors, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged Ford four-cylinder engine. The engine produces 300 horsepower and is far more comfortable with city traffic than the Suzuki engine is. These refinements are nice, but they take virtually nothing away from the fact that this is fundamentally a track car. There is no roof, and a big roll bar and rear wing draw the eye immediately. One has to climb to get in, and a proper racing harness straps you into a racing seat. The LMP heritage is also plainly obvious to anyone who has seen any such cars.
There is a heavy clutch which is painfully difficult to operate in stop-and-go traffic, although the paddles take over sifting duty once you get it moving. The result of all this is that the car is fast. We're talking about a 3.4-second 0-62 time, quite a bit faster than that of the Focus ST which the engine is borrowed from. And if all of this talk of race heritage and fancy transmissions has you thinking that the SR3 SL is expensive, well, you're right. But with a price just over $100,000, it's fairly middle-of-the-road for a track car. And even if you'll pay more than you would for a base-trim Atom or a Caterham, those other cars just don't have the pedigree of the Radical.
Another important factor, when it comes to totaling up what the real cost of running the car would be, is that Radical's cars don't just race, they are endurance racers. Their cars are capable of withstanding terrific amounts of punishment, and aren't some delicate formula car which needs all of its components replaced after every lap. The bad news is that it really doesn't work on the street after all, and a Caterham 7 would really be a better way to go if there's anything resembling a speed bump along your planned route. Even the Caparo T1 has a suspension which can be raised for bumps, but you're just plain out of luck in a Radical.
This on top of the other problems associated with driving a track car on the street, including but not limited to becoming a speed bump of a different sort for some cranked-out truck driver somewhere along I-80. It's easy to think of the SR3 SL as being basically the same as any other street-legal track car. The combination of a lightweight body and a reasonably powerful engine seems like it would be simple enough for just anyone to do. That might even be true, but it takes real race experience to make the sum of all those parts work well together, and Radical has put in the track time.
So although, at a glance, the Radical doesn't seem to have any one thing that sets it apart from the rest, their ability to put together an excellent package makes their cars a force to be reckoned with.

While I was at the farmers market last week, I bought about one pound of kale – for the grand total of $2. Wow do I love the farmers market! I had a nice chat with the farmer and my girls helped him bag up mustard greens and kale in large plastic shopping bags that we brought with us. That delicious kale has been used three times and counting! Kale is incredibly good for you and seems to go well in just about anything. As you can see from my son "helping" to prepare the kale by breaking the tough ends off the greens, it is even good raw.
For this quiche, I had 2 frozen pie crusts in the freezer that were begging to be used before they developed frostbite (can inanimate objects get frostbite?). My initial good intention was to make one for us and give one to a friend, alas, she did not return my brief text message: "Do u like quiche?" I took that as a sign I was meant to keep both.
There are different types of kale available but in February, in North Carolina, I will take whatever kind of fresh and local produce presents itself to me. The kale we bought was a gorgeous dark green color with tight, curly edges. My son's job was to snap off the tough ends although sometimes he said it was easier to tear the leaves off instead. We generally cook with clothes on in our house, but when your sous-chef works for free veggie tastings, one cannot be too picky.
This quiche was a huge hit. One of the best things about quiche is that it can be eaten at any meal and at any temperature. We ate one and kept the other in the fridge – tonight, since I had to work late, my babysitter popped out the 2nd quiche and served it to the kids with some fresh fruit. Easy peasy.
Ready for the cheese and custard!
Fry the bacon in a deep pot until it is crisp. Remove to paper towels and set aside. You can remove some of the bacon fat if your bacon rendered a large amount of fat OR you can simply add the chopped onion and kale to whatever delicious fat remains in your dutch oven. Saute the onion and kale until it is tender. Split the kale, onion, and bacon between the two pie crusts.
Sprinkle cheese over the kale. You can use just about any cheese you have on hand. For this recipe, I used a little mozzarella and some three cheese Mexican blend. Pour the custard over the kale and cheese.
** If you are using deep dish pie pans, increase the milk to 2 1/2 cups and 5 eggs. If you keep the ratio of one egg to a 1/2 cup of milk, your quiche will always be perfect.
Put the quiches into the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 and cook for an additional 30 minutes. Enjoy!
Trying this tonight for our Thanksgiving "light lunch"!! Thanks for the wonderful recipe, this is exactly what I was searching for.
Delice – Hope it turned out great!!
Erin, I want to make one pie and I have a large deep pie dish – should I do 2.5 c milk and 5 eggs for the one pie? Or was this a doubled recipe for 2 smaller pies?
Also, can it be made ahead of time, frozen and reheated ok?
Hi Dana! Yes – keep a similar egg to milk ratio – that one would work for a larger pie pan. This was a store bought GF crust so it was smaller than I would normally make myself.

The Ferrari Monza SP1 Is the World's Most Beautiful Car, According to Science
The Golden Ratio determined that four Prancing Horses were among the world's 10 most attractive sports cars.

Gearheads have been arguing about the most beautiful car since the automobile was first invented. Now they may finally have their answer.
After analyzing nearly 200 performance vehicles, Carwow has named the 2019 Ferrari Monza SP1 the world's most beautiful car. The determination was reached not through "expert" voting or other subjective criteria for that matter. Rather, the British car-selling platform applied the Golden Ratio to the vehicle's design, which found the Italian marque's retro futuristic speedster came closest to achieving the "perfect proportions."
Airstream's First Electric Trailer Concept Comes With a 242 HP Powertrain and Parks Itself
Dating back more than 2,500 years, the Golden Ratio is a mathematical equation used to determine ideal proportions. Artists and designers as far back as Michelangelo have used the ratio to fine tune their work and make it more aesthetically pleasing.
For the car website's study, 14 points were mapped onto the front view of each car—including aspects like the headlights, windshield and side-view mirrors—measured the distance between each point and then fed those numbers into a computer. When all the results had been tabulated, it was Ferrari's torpedo-like sports car that most closely followed the proportions of the Golden Ratio, with an alignment of 61.75 percent.
2019 Ferrari Monza SP1 Ferrari
It's easy to see why the computers were so swayed by the Monza SP1. Combining elements of the 750 Monza, 250 Testarosa and 166 MM, the limited-edition speedster is the rare vehicle that wouldn't look out of place in the past or the future. With flowing lines from front to back, it's clear that the open-top one-seater was designed for two things: going fast and turning heads.
The Monza SP1 beat out a tough field for its title. To determine the most beautiful performance car, Carwow analyzed 197 performance sports cars released since 1950. Of those, the Monza was the only car from the last decade to crack a top 10 dominated by vehicles from the '60s and '70s. In second was the 1964 Ford GT40 (61.64 percent aligned to the golden ratio), which was followed by the 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale (61.15 percent), the 1974 Lotus Elite (60.07 percent) and 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (59.95 percent). The 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 (58.65 percent) also featured in the top 10, pushing the automaker's number of entries to four. When it comes to beautiful car design, the Golden Ratio suggests that no one does it quite like the Prancing Horse. We certainly can't argue.

Thursday morning is a look at how asset classes are reacting to the deal to end the government shutdown and settle the debt ceiling issue (for now).
After rising over the last two weeks, the yields on government bonds are beginning to tumble after the announcement that the shutdown has ended. The yield on the 30-year hit 3.8 percent yesterday before closing at 3.72 percent and it is tumbling even more today. As yields fall, the price of the bonds increase and therefore TLT is moving higher pre-market. The ETF closed up 1.4 percent yesterday and could continue to bounce a few more days.
The value of the US dollar has continued its downtrend this morning after the deal in DC. Pre-market the ETF is down 0.8 percent, which is a big move for the index. The rally in UUP was short-lived and it appears investors would rather focus on the fact the Fed continues to de-value the currency versus the deal in DC. Support to watch on UUP is the $21.50 area.
The consensus is that stocks should be rallying this morning after a deal was solidified last night, right? Not the case, in fact stocks in the US are falling. The 1.4 percent rally yesterday and the 4 percent gain in the last week was the DC deal buying spree. Today we get back to looking at the market fundamentals and earnings season. Disappointing earnings from IBM (NYSE: IBM) and eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) are weighing on stocks along with profit-taking after the deal. The big picture remains very bullish with SPY beginning the morning down only 0.4 percent from an all-time high. The bulls remain in charge.


Fifty years after Michael Harrington published his groundbreaking book The Other America, in which he chronicled the lives of people excluded from the Age of Affluence, poverty in America is back with a vengeance. It is made up of both the long-term chronically poor and new working poor—the tens of millions of victims of a broken economy and an ever more dysfunctional political system. In many ways, for the majority of Americans, financial insecurity has become the new norm.
The American Way of Poverty shines a light on this travesty. Sasha Abramsky brings the effects of economic inequality out of the shadows and, ultimately, suggests ways for moving toward a fairer and more equitable social contract. Exploring everything from housing policy to wage protections and affordable higher education, Abramsky lays out a panoramic blueprint for a reinvigorated political process that, in turn, will pave the way for a renewed War on Poverty.
It is, Harrington believed, a moral outrage that in a country as wealthy as America, so many people could be so poor. Written in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse, in an era of grotesque economic extremes, The American Way of Poverty brings that same powerful indignation to the topic.
"Abramsky's portraits of the poor illustrate three striking points: the isolation, diversity-people with no jobs and people with multiple jobs-and resilience of the poor. Drawing on ideas from a broad array of equality advocates, Abramsky offers detailed policies to address poverty, including reform in education, immigration, energy, taxation, criminal justice, housing, Social Security, and Medicaid, as well as analysis of tax and spending policies that could reduce inequities."
"Sasha Abramsky takes us deep into the long dark night of poverty in America, and it's a harrowing trip. His research and remarkable insights have resulted in a book that is stunning in its intensity."
"Incisive and necessary, The American Way of Poverty is a call to action."
"Abramsky has written an ambitious book that both describes and prescribes. He reaches across a wised range of issues-including education, housing and criminal justice- in a sweeping panorama of poverty's elements. Assembling them in one volume forces him to be superficial on occasion, but that price is worth paying to get the broad scope... Abramsky has invited serious rethinking and issued a significant call to action."
"[An] extraordinary book... extremely well researched and thorough..."
"Abramsky's approach is both heartbreaking in its look at the humans who are affected and inspiring in his explanations of how poverty can be addressed and improved... The American Way of Poverty is likely to cause fear--almost no one is exempt from unplanned disasters--but it is also likely to motivate: there are answers; this country can and should improve. Well researched and documented, Abramsky's eye-opening book should be required reading for all U.S. citizens."
"[A] searing exposé... Abramsky's is a challenging indictment of an economy in which poverty and inequality at the bottom seem like the foundation for prosperity at the top."


The Horizon 2020 calls related to HPC will be cancelled from the 2019-2020 workprogramme. The related budget will be transferred to the new EuroHPC JU. This was announced by Thomas Skordas, European Commission director for "Digital Excellence and Science Infrastructure" in a blog post. In practice, this means that all the Horizon 2020 HPC calls in FET, e-infrastructure and LEIT-ICT will disappear from these work programmes this Autumn. There will be a new work programme for the EuroHPC JU designed with the about 1 billion euro of the H2020 money and matching funds from EuroHPC partner states with an additional 420 million from private partners.
Infrastructure pillar: the plan is to launch calls for expression of interest in December 2018 for the acquisition of two pre-exascale and at least two petascale supercomputers by the end of 2020. These calls will take into account the requirements of European HPC users. Submitted expressions of interest will be evaluated with the help of external experts, and in Spring 2019 the Governing Board will use them to select the winning hosting entity/consortium and then plan the next phase: calls for tenders for procuring the supercomputers. Currently, working groups on user requirements and on hosting and procurement are finalising the details.
R&I pillar: the plan here is to define the work programme of the JU by this Autumn and launch its first calls for proposals early 2019.
Thomas Skordas explained that this work programme will include largely similar activities and topics to those covered by the HPC calls under the Horizon 2020 work programmes for 2019-2020 that are due to be cancelled. For example, he thinks that it will include actions across the full spectrum of the HPC ecosystem, such as continuing the development of the European microprocessor and European exascale systems and of exascale software and applications, and co-designing their integration in extreme scale prototypes; and contributing to the creation of national HPC Competence Centres and to their networking and coordination across the EU for stimulating the wider use of HPC and addressing the specific HPC-related skills gap.
Thomas Skordas invites all interested parties to contribute to the discussion and definition of the R&I pillar of the JU work programme, notably through the two Private Associations, ETP4HPC and BDVA, that are currently coordinating the stakeholders and preparing the inputs defining their priorities. These will be used by the Governing Board to define and adopt the JU work programme and its budget.
As always, you will be fully informed on the EuroHPC developments on EuroHPC.


The travel world has a lot to offer. It is the world's largest market. It is growing faster than many other industries. And yet it consistently falls short on its largest demographic: women.
Women make 80% of travel decisions. 2 out of every 3 travelers are female. 11% of the entire travel market is occupied by the solo female traveler. And yet, women's travel is consistently considered a niche in the travel industry, which fails to consider real concerns women face when traveling, especially alone: cultural nuances and gender norms, safety, the female body.
But what if women could guide each other, in real time, wherever they are around the world? That's the premise of Wanderful, an international sisterhood of women who meet online and in person to help one another travel the world.
Beth isn't just making travel easier for women. She's changing the way the entire travel industry operates.
With a background in international development, thoughtful community building and social enterprise, Beth Santos is out to change the landscape of travel for women worldwide.
In 2009, while cruising her blue motorcycle through the streets of São Tomé and Príncipe, Beth created the first iteration of Wanderful as a travel blog aimed to explore the diverse and shared experiences of women traveling the world. Today, Wanderful has exploded to an international community and social network with the active participation of over 40,000 women and nonbinary people of all ages and backgrounds. This is manifested through an active online platform, chapter events in over 30 global cities worldwide, annual community trips, and the first-ever identity-verified women's homesharing network.
The group's success has attracted partnerships with well-known travel and lifestyle brands such as TripAdvisor, Schwinn, Kiva, Wordpress, Samsonite, Rail Europe, Turkish Airlines, and numerous tourism boards.
In 2014, Beth created the Women in Travel Summit (WITS), the leading event for female travel influencers, creative entrepreneurs, and industry to use their voices to champion change in the travel industry. This event has earned international acclaim and attracted top talent in the travel industry and beyond, and led to the recently launched Wanderful Creator Collective to support and empower travel influencers to create and nurture their authentic voices and build engaged, thoughtful communities.
Wanderfest, WITS' sister venture, is an annual retreat for 100 inspired travel lovers build soul sisterhood through travel workshops, excursions, yoga and dance classes, story slams, and more.
Wanderful's newest venture is the creation of an identity-verified homesharing network that helps women travelers to meet, connect, and stay with other women — wherever they are in the world.
Wanderful has been recognized in top publications such as Skift, Lonely Planet, the Boston Globe, the South China Morning Post, and the Chicago Tribune.
Beth has been recognized as a Chicago Scholars 35 Under 35 Young Leader Making an Impact, a Zell Fellow (a prestigious fellowship for entrepreneurs pursuing their MBA), and an alumna of the Babson WIN Lab. She was recognized by the Obama Administration as one of the top 100 travel bloggers in the US.
Beth is the co-founder of #AtTheTable, an initiative focused on bringing together female founders from different industries to build community, strength and resources. She is a keynote speaker and an entrepreneurship and marketing consultant who thrives on building lasting, impactful communities.
She has an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a BA from Wellesley College. When she's not traveling the world, she's refinishing furniture in her home in Boston.
Wanderful is an international community of over 40,000 women travelers, focused on empowering women with the tools they need to go abroad and facilitating a trusted network of travelers and locals who can guide each other both online and in person in places around the world.
The Women in Travel Summit (WITS) is the leading event for female travel creators and industry insiders, focused on driving conversations about key issues in travel and online influence in a highly collaborative and partnership-driven space. 400 attendees with an average following of 36,000 unique monthly readers each generate over 74 MILLION impressions during this engaging annual event. The next WITS is taking place in Portland, Maine from 3-5 May, 2019.
Wanderfest gathers 100 inspired women from around the world to exchange cultures, share stories, and build community in the spirit of adventure, sisterhood, and travel. Attendees spend the weekend in dynamic travel workshops, story slams, excursions around town, community gatherings and more. The next Wanderfest will be hosted in Austin from 1-4 February, 2019.

Q: Subqueries on CodeIgniter 4 using models I am programming using CodeIgniter 4 and I am using CodeIgniter's model as I understand it is a good practice to use it. It is a great way to do queries using one table very simple:
$this->myModel
         ->select('field')
         ->where('user_id', 1)
         ->findAll()

I don't even have to write the name of the table.
However, I am not able to do subqueries, in particular, I need user_id to be read from another table:
$this->myModel
         ->select('field')
         ->whereIn('user_id', SUBQUERY)
         ->findAll()

SUBQUERY is select('id') from users where status='active'.
However, this doesn't work:
$this->myModel
         ->select('field')
         ->whereIn('user_id', $this->userModel->select('id)->where('status', 'active')->findAll() )
         ->findAll()

Is there a way to do it with CodeIgniter's model or what is the best way to do it? Should I do the subquery with the Query Builder and mix it with the usage of the model?
Thanks!

A: Instead of:❌
 ->whereIn('user_id', $this->userModel->select('id')->where('status', 'active')->findAll() )

Use this:✅
// Get User table.
$userTable = $this->userModel->getTable();

// ...

->whereIn('user_id',
    static fn(\CodeIgniter\Database\BaseBuilder $builder) use ($userTable) => $builder->select('id')
        ->from($userTable)
        ->where('status', 'active')
)

$builder->whereIn()

Generates a WHERE field IN ('item', 'item') SQL query joined with AND
if appropriate:

You can use subqueries instead of an array of values:

Addendum
In your particular case, you could alternatively use $builder->join()

Permits you to write the JOIN portion of your query:

I.e:
$userTable = $this->userModel->getTable();
$myTable = $this->myModel->getTable();

$this->myModel
    ->select(["$myTable.field"])
    ->join($userTable, "$myTable.user_id = $userTable.id")
    ->where("$userTable.status", "active")
    ->get()->getResult();

Difference Between Capital Expenditure & Net Working Capital
Money for Businesses
By Marquis Codjia
The Impact of Overstating Accounts Receivable on Financial Statements
What Are the Functions of the Four Statements Included in Audit Reports?
Debt vs. Income for a Small Business
What Kinds of Reports Are Used by Accounting Firms?
Capital Expenses Vs. Assets
If you delve into a company's operating records, you'll see phrases such as "capital expenditure" and "net working capital" -- both of which are important agenda items for entrepreneurs. As a business owner, you calculate net working capital to determine what's going on with respect to corporate liquidity.
A capital expenditure is money a business spends for items as diverse as real property, computer hardware, office machines -- such as printers and fax machines -- and production equipment. This hodgepodge of items makes it into a company's property, plant and equipment, or PPE, master account. The PPE account also is called the long-term assets account or capital resources account. Capital expenditures generally involve substantial investments, and a business owner employs sound procedures to ensure prompt and accurate reporting of capital purchases. These guidelines cover everything from scouting the marketplace for vendors and purchasing capital items to recording and reporting transactions.
Net Working Capital
Net working capital equals short-term assets minus short-term liabilities. Finance specialists classify this indicator as a liquidity or solvency ratio because it gives analytical prominence to a company's commercial situation -- particularly how much money it will have -- in the next 12 months. Short-term assets, or current resources, range from cash and customer receivables to prepaid expenses and inventory. Short-term liabilities include accounts payable, salaries, taxes due and commercial paper, which is a type of debt becoming due within 270 days.
While capital expenditures are distinct from net working capital, the concepts interrelate. A capital expenditure covers a time span greater than 12 months, but it generates expenses -- such as maintenance and depreciation -- that ultimately make it into an annual income statement. Depreciating a capital asset means allocating its worth over a number of years. The concepts also relate to the statement of financial position, also referred to as a statement of financial condition or balance sheet.
Strategic Orientation
If you own a business, calculating net working capital and spending on capital items help create a money-saving mentality, winning the hearts and minds of various stakeholders. These include investors, lenders and business partners as varied as customers, vendors, landlords, maintenance machinists and contractors. By beefing up the corporate balance sheet, increasing the business' asset base -- an entrepreneur plants the seeds of success, figuring out what capital resources to buy without breaking the operating bank.

The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) will host a webinar covering recent additions to the AAMA Gold Label Certification Program in the New Year.
AAMA Certification Manager Jason Seals will review the recent approval of AAMA by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation as a Product Quality Assurance Agency. He also will discuss changes to the AAMA air, water and structural extension program, plus testing and labeling of combination assemblies.
Register now for "Updates to the AAMA Air-Water-Structural Certification Program," taking place at 11:30 a.m. Eastern on Tues., Jan. 15. This complimentary presentation is open to the public.
In October, the AAMA Certification Policy Committee (CPC) agreed to remove the limit to the number of times an Authorization for Product Certification (APC) can be extended.
"There are several reasons to allow certifications to be extended more than once," said Seals. "AAMA first began approving extensions in 2013 and in the ensuing five years, the program has worked well."
Approximately 35-50 percent of APCs currently issued by AAMA are extensions. To be eligible to receive an extension, the manufacturer must first participate in an enhanced Quality Management System (QMS), the elements of which are defined in AAMA 103, "Procedural Guide for Certification of Windows, Doors and Skylights Assemblies," Section 17. Register now to get the most updated information.
Seals came to AAMA in 2014 with over 15 years of experience in the fenestration industry. As AAMA's Certification Manager, he directs all certification-related activities of the association. He has direct management responsibilities for the AAMA air, water and structural Gold Label Certification Program, the AAMA Thermal Certification Program, Verified Components Program, Certified Profiles Program and the Laboratory Accreditation Program.
Seals also manages all aspects of the ANSI accreditation requirements in addition to certification-related audits and acts as advisory staff liaison to assigned member groups within the association.
Since 1962, AAMA Product Certification, the original third-party window performance program, has provided manufacturers with the means to independently demonstrate product performance to their customers. The program went on to raise the bar even higher by earning ANSI-accreditation in 1972 – a credential still maintained today.
The AAMA Certification Label tells customers that a sample of the product has been verified as conforming to the standards' requirements through independent laboratory testing and follow-up on-site inspection of the manufacturer's production line. Products authorized for certification and their manufacturers are also listed in the online AAMA Certified Products Directory, the industry's preeminent resource for window and door products.

Relevant conduct is an important concept in the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. According to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, relevant conduct is "almost a term of art as a result of its detailed exposition in Sections 1B1.3 (Relevant Conduct), 4 (Criminal History); and 3D1.2(d) (Drug Trafficking)." The U.S. Sentencing Commission notes, "Deemed the 'cornerstone' of the federal sentencing guidelines, relevant conduct defines the scope of behavior that must be considered in every federal case."
