Aptera Tech Questions
Registered as a car or motorcycle?
Marc Quinones
I'm curious how this will be registered in the US and how that will effect vehicle insurance.
Jan 2, 2020 · Edited: Jan 2, 2020
🤔 I would imagine you may able to "gauge" insurance rate with your insurance company and your state, by applying the cost to insured a high end Can-Am or Polaris Slingshot, but then apply the cost to replace a much higher end Aptera, less deductions for key things like, it is an enclosed vehicle, with car safety devices as found in a cars, where they discount. . And it promises amazing crash tests! Surely much better than any open production title out there...
I believe I read in several places.... the Aptera should qualify to register as a motorcycle in most US states, except for maybe two
Jim Pike P#10339,#13553
I have my 3 wheeled cars registered as cars in Ontario Canada. The insurance was much cheaper than as motorcycles. A precedent had been set for these antique cars as they preceded modern safety requirements. If the Aptera meets modern safety standards here it could be a car.

The last time I spoke to the team about this very question, they were working very hard to get this vehicle classified as a car. They wanted all consumers to be able to operate it with a regular license. They seemed confident that their main shell design was robust enough to supply suitable crash protection to pass the safety requirements.
Granted, this was several years ago, plans change, teams change, targets move.
jstackeaa
3 wheel vehicles are registered as a motorcycle. It should be very low cost to register. A few states charge an extra fee for an all electric since it doesn't pay gas tax that supposedly helps pay for roads and bridges. Each state is different. A few states charge less if all electric since it doesn't make pollution.
While this is historically true in most states, please see my response above. The team was working very hard to get this classified as a car. (I was in the facility and asked them this very question)
Yes, everything I recently read said moving in the direction to have it registered as a motorcycle.
But we would not need a motorcycle license! A car license is adequate
"As a motorcycle"...that could help with no need for conventional car sideview mirrors , allowing the video camera instead, showing the view on the interior video screens
Jstackeaa, can I ask which insurance company insures your autocycles. as would like to talk to their agents In AZ . thx
May 25, 2020 · Edited: Jun 17, 2020
Here's an informative piece from 2017. It explains where all the states stand on the "not-four-wheeled-vehicle" issue:
https://www.ncsl.org/research/transportation/transportation-review-autocycles.aspx
🤔 From my street corner...
Regarding....
✅ I like the name better than motorcycle
✅ I don't want to wear a helmet, as the Aptera is my helmet
✅ Well typically EV auto federal incentives are better than motorcycles but who knows what will be offered 2021 and forward "these days"
✅ I already have a driver's license
✅ Lower routine registration cost
✅ Insurance cost might be based on purchase price but surely a stellar crash test and safety features, all projected.... could lower insurance cost.
✅ This might make it easier to get away from convention side view mirrors and just have the illustrated rear and side view cameras showing views on the interior video screens
✅ Auto driver's license should be adequate even if classified as a motorcycle
Regardless of classification it should qualify for HOV use, even with just one person on board
Tolls and Transport (like ferries) costs? TBD (Typically number of wheels or axles and vehicle weight factor in)

Here in BC Canada Motorcycle insurance for the bigger 1150 cc bikes and over are outrageously priced for insurance, compared to a car or truck . And having to wear a helmet in this (I consider a car ) would be foolish.
Brian LeBlanc
Hey Gerry, you should mention that your Trihawk is licensed as a car in BC, where mine is licensed as a motorcycle in the next door Province of Alberta.
@Brian LeBlanc I did mention that some where on this site
I'm very curious about range and comfort here in Canada when the temp drops to -35C.
@Brian LeBlanc Considering that the Aptera body is pretty much analogous to an Igloo Cooler (two composite surfaces with foam in between) and will have interior heating and seat heaters, I'm guessing it will be as comfortable as any other vehicle. As to the range, I would guess that the range will drop with the temperature, just like every other EV on the market: It's the nature of Lithium Ion batteries to lose capacity when cold.
good to hear about the interior heat, but I would like to know the range at low temperatures, have they considered and possibly improved the issues in some way of keeping the batteries warm as well.
@Brian LeBlanc Most EVs do warm their batteries - Tesla even pre-warms its packs automatically when the vehicle knows you're heading to a charging station. But the issue is multi-faceted and has to do with the chemical reaction occurring in the battery as well as the weather: There has been much research done on this topic. On average, EVs seem to lose approx. 20% of their range when the temperatures drop. There are a number of Canadian EV channels on YouTube - with plenty of owner testimonials.
Remember - Aptera is just starting: They have ONE prototype vehicle on the road and two more in the works. It will be some time before they've created a test fleet for real-world evaluation.

Collecting Rare Books and First Editions - The Short Story and The Private Library (Part III)
The grandson of a serf, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov accomplished more in his all-too-brief 44 years than most folks accomplish in lifetimes twice that long. His handful of plays and 200+ short stories, many of which reflected the difficult circumstances of his early life and education, revolutionized both drama and short fiction ... Always modest, Chekhov thought readers might go on reading his work for no more than seven years after his death (at the time of this remark, he had about six years left to live). He was wrong. Already a literary legend in Russia, the English-language translations of his work undertaken by Constance Garnett spread Chekhov's fame far and wide.

Between the distance and the horizon on the right there was a flash of lightning so vivid that it lighted up part of the steppe and the spot where the clear sky met the blackness. A terrible cloud was swooping down, without haste, a compact mass; big black shreds hung from its edge; similar shreds pressing one upon another were piling up on the right and left horizon. The tattered, ragged look of the storm-cloud gave it a drunken disorderly air. There was a distinct, not smothered, growl of thunder. Yegorushka crossed himself and began quickly putting on his great-coat.... All at once there was a squall of wind, so violent that it almost snatched away Yegorushka's bundle and mat; the mat fluttered in all directions and flapped on the bale and on Yegorushka's face. The wind dashed whistling over the steppe, whirled round in disorder and raised such an uproar from the grass that neither the thunder nor the creaking of the wheels could be heard; it blew from the black storm-cloud, carrying with it clouds of dust and the scent of rain and wet earth. The moonlight grew mistier, as it were dirtier; the stars were even more overcast; and clouds of dust could be seen hurrying along the edge of the road, followed by their shadows. By now, most likely, the whirlwind eddying round and lifting from the earth dust, dry grass and feathers, was mounting to the very sky; uprooted plants must have been flying by that very black storm-cloud, and how frightened they must have been! But through the dust that clogged the eyes nothing could be seen but the flash of lightning....
Anton Chekhov, The Steppe (1888; trans. Constance Garnett)
The grandson of a serf, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov accomplished more in his all-too-brief 44 years than most folks accomplish in lifetimes twice that long. His handful of plays and 200+ short stories, many of which reflected the difficult circumstances of his early life and education, revolutionized both drama and short fiction.
Forced to pay for his own education by his father's bankruptcy, Chekhov submitted numerous short sketches to newspapers as one way to make money enough to feed and shelter himself and his destitute family. Although eventually able to establish a medical practice, such practice was never lucrative (understandable, given Chekhov's penchant for treating the poor for free). His writing eventually provided most of his, and his family's, income.
Despite being stricken by tuberculosis at age 24, Chekhov's literary output was prodigious and, eventually, well-paying. By age 32 he was able to buy himself and his family a small country estate some 40 miles south of Moscow, where his well-known generosity attracted the sick and poor from miles around. Chekhov's first-hand experiences treating the illnesses of a broad swath of Russian society show up time and again in both his short fiction and his plays.
Always modest, Chekhov thought readers might go on reading his work for no more than seven years after his death (at the time of this remark, he had about six years left to live). He was wrong. Already a literary legend in Russia, the English-language translations of his work undertaken by Constance Garnett spread Chekhov's fame far and wide.
Among Chekhov's more famous short stories are The Lady with the Dog, which Nabokov called "one of the greatest stories ever written;" the humorous A Transgression; the often quite moving Misery; and Chekhov's first great work of mature short fiction, The Steppe, which includes what may well be the best description of a thunderstorm in all of literature.
With his dramas championed by the likes of George Bernard Shaw, and his short stories championed by the likes of Raymond Carver, Chekhov need not have feared posterity's judgement.

Next tip: a reminder that short stories are not purely the domain of adult fiction....

Intersection: E-Sports
Tuesday, May 23, 2017 by Matthew Peddie (WMFE)
Ben Noel (l) and Alex Jebailey.
E-sports, competitive video gaming, draws big crowds, and in August, gamers will compete for big prize money in the Call of Duty World Championships in Orlando.
"It's just like watching any sport on TV, says Alex Jebailey, director of CEO Gaming. Jebailey hosts fighting game tournaments in Orlando.
"You have the players, you have the crowd, you have the interactions between the players and the crowd, so it's just something that's very easy to latch onto once you understand what's going on," says Jebailey.
Ben Noel, executive director of the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy at the University of Central Florida, says E-Sports generate about $500 million in revenue a year. He's not surprised at how big E-sports has become.
"It probably came a little slower than we though," says Noel.
"The online world, and the ability to communicate and the ability to create content on your own is only going to increase."

Nokia and Apple have agreed a technology licensing agreement that ends the long-running legal dispute between the two firms.
"The agreement will result in settlement of all patent litigation between the companies," Nokia said.
Nokia said Apple had agreed a one-off payment, the value of which was not disclosed, and ongoing royalties to use its technologies.
Apple said the deal covered both companies' patents.
"We are very pleased to have Apple join the growing number of Nokia licensees," said Nokia's chief executive Stephen Elop.
"This settlement demonstrates Nokia's industry-leading patent portfolio and enables us to focus on further licensing opportunities in the mobile communications market."
Apple said the two firms had agreed to "drop all of our current lawsuits and enter into a licence covering some of each other's patents, but not the majority of the innovations that make the iPhone unique".
"We're glad to put this behind us and get back to focusing on our respective businesses."
Nokia's various claims against Apple included alleged patent infringements of touch interfaces, caller ID, display illumination, and 3G and wi-fi technology.
Apple had also claimed that Nokia had infringed many of its patents.
Both sides had always denied each other's claims.
"This is the first positive news from Nokia for a long time. They can both focus on their businesses now, and the dispute was settled to Nokia's advantage," said Mikael Rautanen at research group Inderes in Helsinki.
At the end of last month, Nokia said it expected sales and profit margins for the current quarter to be well below its previous forecasts.
The company has been struggling to reposition itself in the rapidly-growing smartphone sector, where it is trying to make up ground lost to competitors such as Apple's iPhone and phones using Google's Android operating system.

Here's everything you need to know about the Making It cast for Season 1
John August 7, 2018 Amy Poehler, Good times, Making It, Nick Offerman No Comments
If you didn't catch the series premiere of NBC's Making It last week, do yourself a huge favor and stream it here. Any show hosted by Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler is basically bound to be a delight, but Making It sweetens the bargain by essentially making an American version of The Great British Baking Show — except, instead of baked goods, the contestants all make crafts.
OK — there is one other tiny difference. Where the winner of their British counterpart takes home "a bunch of flowers and a cake stand," as former contestant Martha Collison once put it, the last member of the Making It cast left standing walks away with a $100,000 grand prize.
But the show is not your typical reality TV race to be the first backstabber. There's a genuine camaraderie between members of the Making It cast, all of whom seem more dedicated to craftsmanship (and, by extension, cheering their fellow contestants on) than to the prize money itself.
In that same spirit, here's an alphabetical rundown of the cast of NBC's Making It for Season 1. In addition to your basic biographical info, we've found an unusual or otherwise interesting fact about each person, along with a complete rundown of social media and professional links for all your following and purchasing needs.
Joanna Gick
37-year-old Joanna Gick is an Ohioan by birth, an Arizona native, a mother of two, and the co-owner of J&J Design Group. Joanna and her partner's work designing children's rooms have been featured in publications like Better Homes & Gardens, Fit Pregnancy, and HGTV Magazine, among many others.
What you need to know about her: Joanna's crafting pedigree goes back many a year. She explained that her parents trusted her with a hot glue gun from an especially young age: "My mom would take me to craft stores," Joanna told Martha Stewart, "and my dad would give me a pile of two by fours and some nails and hammer and I would just make things. My parents really nurtured that creativity in me."
Where you can find her: You can follow Joanna on Instagram here, or browse her work with J&J Design here.
Amber Kemp-Gerstel
Amber, also 37, found her crafting journey highlighted during the Making It premiere episode. She has graduate degrees in clinical psychology, but, years ago, decided to leave that career behind and focus on crafting and blogging, where Amber's passions lay. Amber lives in Miami with her husband and their son.
What you need to know about her: Amber almost didn't even apply to be on Making It — and then, as she was filling out the application, she was contacted by one of the show's producers, who wanted to recruit her based on her reputation alone.
"Before I could complete and submit the application," Amber told BSC Kids, "I received a call from a casting producer who'd gotten my name through the grapevine! I guess the universe had bigger plans for me!"
Where you can find her: You can follow Amber on Instagram here and on Twitter here. Damask Love, the blog that made her famous before Making It amplified the effect, resides here.
Billy Kheel
Billy Kheel, 43, has led something of a journeyman's life. He was raised in Massachusetts, attended Wesleyan University (further entwining his passions for athletics and art), did the mandatory artist's stint in New York, and now lives in Los Angeles, where he is currently a visiting art teacher.
What you need to know about him: Per LA Parent, Billy has already seen some of what he learned on Making It show up in his work. "I've learned I can get a lot more done in a small window of time," he said, adding that "the show pushed me to learn new mediums and craft techniques."
Billy also confirmed that the Making It cast stayed tight well after filming was complete. "I was afraid it would be cutthroat and we'd be stabbing each other with glue sticks. But it was a lot of fun, and I've stayed in touch with them."
Where you can find him: Follow Billy on Instagram here; check out his official Etsy shop here.
Robert Mahar
Robert, the second of three Making It cast members to have grown up in the Midwest, has been a citizen of Los Angeles for a quarter-century. His background is in art history and studio arts, including a thirteen-year stint as an art appraiser. And he is prepared should pottery come into play during his time on the show.
What you need to know about him:Robert credits his unorthodox education with helping to nurture some of his crafty drive. "When we were studying Greco Roman history in history class," he told Grand Rapids magazine, "we were reading The Iliad in literature and then throwing Greco Roman pots in art class….I think that really solidified my love of not only the fine arts but also the craft and maker side of things as well."
Where you can find him: Follow Robert on Instagram here and on Twitter here — or just check out his personal website here.
Khiem Nguyen
28-year-old Khiem Nguyen is the youngest of the Making It contestants this season, though he's certainly not lacking in experience. Indeed, such was his energy during his time in art school that Khiem had to craft his own "open major," the better for him to "get his hands in everything." Khiem and his fiancé own and operate AK Wood and Design out of Austin.
What you need to know about him:He knows how to take defeats in stride — like water off a turtle's back, you might even say. Per the Austin Chronicle, here's how Khiem responded to the comparatively harsh judging he received following last week's secret beast challenge:
For me it was funny. When I thought of the turtle shell, the turtle wasn't part of it at all. From the beginning, I thought, I just want to do a shell because the turtle carries the shell on its back, and I've moved a lot, and every time there are certain things I move with me to each apartment or house, and the shell is just that symbolism, not the turtle itself. I guess I would be the turtle that's making the shell. It was funny, and it was one Faster Craft challenges, so I didn't take it too personally.
Where you can find him: Here's Khiem's Instagram page, and here's the official page for AK Wood & Design.
Jemma Olson
Jemma Olson, the first member of the Making It cast to be eliminated from the competition, had plenty of good cheer awaiting her upon her return to Rockwall, Texas. Jemma is a mother of eight, a grandmother of sixteen, and a crafter who carries on the tradition of her parents and grandparents craft-by-necessity ethos.
What you need to know about her:Jemma became intrigued by the show when she found out the producers were specifically looking to cast an older participant. "I had gone to Puerto Rico to visit my daughter and her family," she told the Rockwell Herald-Banner. "I came home feeling ignited by the rich culture I experienced there, and when someone in a Facebook group for craft bloggers said a show is looking for a 'crafting grandma,' I got interested and went from there!"
Where you can find her: Jemma's official Instagram page is here; discover At Home With Jemma, her blog of whimsy, here.
Jeffery Rudell
Jeffery "Jeff" Rudell, the Making It cast's third Midwesterner, won the audience's hearts when he revealed in the premiere episode that he had no heirlooms to use for his challenge because his family had disowned him upon learning of their son's homosexuality when Jeff was 18. It was a moment of extraordinary vulnerability for Jeff, who's long made a name for himself with the handmade paper props he crafts for high-profile clients like the New York Botanical Garden and Tiffany & Co., amond others.
What you need to know about him: Making It is actually Jeff Rudell's second go-round on a reality TV show: he was also a member of the cast for The Apprentice: Martha Stewart back in 2005. As you might expect, the two shows couldn't have been more different — something Jeff explained for the Windy City Times.
"It's a very satisfying thing, and crafts in general…The craft community is often a welcome and generous community." Jeff said. "It was hard, but it was a blast—really challenging and exciting."
Where you can find him: On Twitter and Instagram. Also, at JeffRudell.com.
Nicole Sweeney
San Franciscan Nicole Sweeney is also no stranger to audiences: in addition to her education in architecture, she has a background in dance. Nor is she a stranger to bold, borderline audacious personal moves: shortly after filming the inaugural season of Making It, she quit her job as a display coordinator at Anthropologie to work as an artist full-time. Nicole lives in Cole Valley, San Francisco's smallest neighborhood, with her husband and their cats. But the cramped city has hardly held back Nicole's woodworking ambition — she has a woodshop in her apartment, where the dining room used to be.
What you need to know about her: Sweeney told the Burlington Free Press that she merged from her tenure on Making It feeling even more confident than she had before, and with a brand-new goal for herself.
"One of my missions now is to empower little girls to use power tools more," Nicole said. "What this show did is it gave me a voice that I can really stand behind and a confidence in what I do. I'm not the best woodworker in the world, I'm not the best anything in the world, but that doesn't mean that my story doesn't deserve to be told or that the work I do isn't important. You don't need to be the best in anything, but the process of actually making things still deserves to be celebrated."
Where you can find her: On Instagram, of course. And on her own web site.
In between checking out the cast members' photographs and beautiful wares, remember that Making It airs Tuesday nights at 10 on NBC.

Our business has evolved over its 16 year life into the premier go-to manufacturing company for all your Fire and Medical needs. Beginning with the Firefighter door and sprinkler Wedge, our first product was custom designed as a way to produce a handy product used for firefighters and paramedics with more modern technology.
Originally whittled out of wood, LINE2design altered the wedge to include many special unique features for better performance as well improving the product by using a light weight fire-resistive plastic. As our customer base grew, so did the request for other products used in the Fire/Emergency Medical field. We began adding items such as the Rubber Helmet Band, GloveLeash, tool pouches and various straps used to hold safety equipment. Next came bags: rope bags, airmask bags, firefighter gear bags, kids gear bags, even pink gear bags.
We currently supply over 1,000 products all over North America to the fire industry, safety industry and the emergency medical industry. But even with our increased product lines, the core of our company philosophy has not changed. LINE2design has done this for the past 16 years by providing superior customer service, competitive industry pricing, and quality products. You will receive a response as soon as possible!

Q: ssis sql task logging I have a c# app that calls an SSIS package.  I have a listener attached to it so I can capture error and information events and write them to a log.  This captures events for dataflow tasks but does not capture anything for the execute SQL tasks.  I just want to know when the SQL tasks were executed and if an error occurred.  How do I log events for the execute SQL tasks?  I made sure that logging was enabled for the SQL tasks in the SSIS package.

A: I highly recomend this book and the loging framework contained therein:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services: Problem, Design, Solution
ISBN: 978-0-470-52576-0
If I have understood your question correctly I would say it does exactly what you are looking for. Code download link here.
It is very straight forward to set up and quite robust. The authors do an excellent job of walking you through this step by step. Should take you about a day to get it up and running.
I would like to second their recommendation to make a "Template Package" from which you build all other packages. The template has all the SSIS PDS goodies already in it so you only need build those once.
For your reference, here is the table create script for two of the core tables in the SSIS PDS framework:
CREATE TABLE [adm].[PackageTaskLog](
    [PackageTaskLogID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [PackageLogID] [int] NOT NULL,
    [SourceName] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
    [SourceID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
    [StartDateTime] [datetime] NOT NULL,
    [EndDateTime] [datetime] NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_PackageTaskLog] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
    [PackageTaskLogID] ASC
)

CREATE TABLE [adm].[PackageErrorLog](
    [PackageErrorLogID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [PackageLogID] [int] NOT NULL,
    [SourceName] [varchar](64) NOT NULL,
    [SourceID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
    [ErrorCode] [int] NULL,
    [ErrorDescription] [varchar](2000) NULL,
    [LogDateTime] [datetime] NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_PackageErrorLog] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
    [PackageErrorLogID] ASC
)

1: But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
2: And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
3: Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
5: And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
6: So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
8: And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
9: Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
10: And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
11: And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
12: And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
13: Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14: And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
15: And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
16: And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17: They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18: For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
19: And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
20: In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
21: So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
22: Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
23: So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
1: Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
8: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9: The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
11: And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12: Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13: He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14: In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15: He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16: He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17: And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18: And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19: Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20: Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
24: And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25: Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
26: He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
28: And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
31: The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
34: When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

Fifth Harmony's Normani Kordei Recounts 2017 VMAs Technical Issue: 'My Heart Was Racing'

Fifth Harmony made their debut MTV Video Music Awards performance last night (Sunday, August 27), and while the girls put on an electrifying show, singing their Best Pop Video award-winning hit "Down," the moment didn't come without its glitches.
As member Normani Kordei lamented on Twitter following the performance, her in-ear headphones and audio pack fell off before launching into the song, leaving her unable to hear anything.
On Twitter, she thanked God for "carrying [her] through."
Thankfully, the performance ended up being complete and utter fire. Just ask Bebe Rexha! The pop singer-songwriter was definitely a fan:

Pendant clusters, not only add light but are visually great to look at, adding a little drama to their surroundings. Often used in stair wells where a long drop light helps illuminate the area. Shorter designs work well with higher ceiling, filling the void to make a room less sparse and cosier.
Industrial draws from commercial design and urban is heavily influenced by this too, but will not be quite so rough and ready. Made popular by its use in restaurants, bars and shops, it just looks really cool in almost any interior space you care to fit it. Works well with both modern and classic design.


Dark-fruited with beautiful with leathery aromas and the signature Coury spice.
The most 'French' of all the single-clones. An earthy blend of sweet black fruits, leather and tobacco. This wine can be shy and more reserved in cooler vintages, but the hot 2016 vintage has lured this Pommard out early into an expressive young wine with beautifully fine-grained and integrated tannins.

Q: Workflow to set limit of people per date in list I have a task list / calendar that serves as a signup for classes.  What I am trying to do is set 20 people per class per date.  Once 20 people have signed up for the class (i.e. - once we have 20 list items with the same date), the date is no longer available for folks to sign up for.
I'm trying to use a workflow for this, but can't figure out how to make this happen.
Any ideas?
One more thing - this one list will contain multiple dates, but there can only be 20 people that sign up for each date.

UPDATE - EDIT - Screenshots
Below are screenshots of the workflow (in Nintex)

A: Check this post for a similar discussion: How can I limit the number of items that can be entered into a list?
If you want to use workflow to restrict events created on one day, you can detect the number of items existing and automatically delete new items when the number exceed 20.
It might require additional customization on the list and the workflow.
Another post for your reference:
Limit only one entry per day per user in sharepoint list.

A: Take a look at the tutorial video in this article:  https://www.kalmstrom.com/Tips/SharePointListItemsLimit.htm.
I would suggest creating a Date column, and then a People column in your list.  Then, create records for the 20 slots available on each date and follow his instructions to restrict anyone from creating new records on that list.

A: Create a separate list for the available class dates. Like below.

And create a new dummy 'class date' column in your primary list as a lookup column into the above list.
This dummy 'class date' lookup column will be visible to users while creating the new entry. But using the workflow you have to copy this value into your original date column while item is getting created/modified.

Check the total item count in the list (filter with date) in the workflow every time when a new item is created.

If the count == 19 (ie, 20th item is getting added), then delete the particular date item from the date list (through the same workflow) so that it wont be available further to add into the list.

They have a no-nonsense ambience.
The Dormitory is adequate, very clean and comfortable.
The food was very tasty, homely and had a good variety.
The activities catered to our satisfaction. They are provided with lots of patience. Every staff member is so friendly and they ensure that you enjoy the outing.
We were a family with people from all are groups. They took care of every individual needs. Our aged mother was made very comfortable, and they arranged a chair for her at every activity area.
We spent almost two days and one night. And we enjoyed every moment.
If one is looking for a good outing, this is the place. Total value for money. Above all it's the passion of the staff that makes them better than most places around Bangalore.
The hygiene and quality of food served was par excellence.
Just a couple of weeks ago, our team had been to 'Eagles Unbound Adventure Camp' for a team outing. It was one of the best outings that we have had and a lot of credit goes to Mr. Sunil Chris for being the perfect host. He and his team had ensured that every minute detail was taken into consideration and delivered as promised. The fact that the organizers were able to feel the pulse of our team and plan activities accordingly had built the right tone for team bonding. The hygiene and quality of food served was par excellence. I would recommend 'Eagles Unbound' to anyone planning a team outing.

Deadpool: God of Thunder…?
By Michael Adkins On Feb 2, 2016 Last updated Feb 12, 2018
Thor and his mighty hammer Mjolnir have been reoccurring topics of discussion amongst Nerds on Earth of late, despite none of us having visited Asgard.
We've reviewed Walter Simonson's Thor run, which is widely considered to be one of the best runs in all of comics. And we've surveyed heroes in the Marvel Universe who proved themselves worthy of wielding Thor's legendary hammer.
However, there is a character who has wielded Thor's hammer that you may not have thought of: Deadpool.
There are few in the Marvel U that are less worthy of wielding Mjolnir than the Merc with a Mouth. He's base, debauched, foul mouthed, and murderous. The likelihood that his fingers are slick with grease from chimichangas alone should preclude him from lifting Mjolnir. And yet in Deadpool #37 (2000), we get Thorpool.
Thorpool: The Story
In the issue, Loki convinces Deadpool that he's his father and enlists Deadpool's help in shaming Thor, his "uncle", for denying their (Loki and Deadpool's) rightful place in the realm. Deadpool plays along, but mostly to save his love interest, Death, and because he's promised he can keep Loki's sweet headgear.
Deadpool's assignment: Separate Thor from his hammer for sixty seconds which would cause him to revert to his mortal form. Deadpool found himself envious of Thor's power and fame, stating that "[Thor] was everything [he, Deadpool] wasn't. [Thor] had everything [he, Deadpool] wanted."
So when Deadpool spotted Mjolnir lying in the rubble of the building he blew up in order to cause Thor to lose sight of it, he leapt at the opportunity and took on the powers of the god of thunder; complete with flight, Asgardian clothes, and even the Old English speech.
What does he do with his newfound powers? First he spies on a topless woman who has just finished with her shower, then he visits Taco Bell, the local fair, Yankee Stadium, and Neverland Ranch (click here for that panel) before dropping in on the Avengers and attempting to fit in amongst their ranks as the new Thor.
There he runs into Donald Blake (Thor's mortal alter-ego) who wrests Mjolnir away from Deadpool but finds it to be faulty. Loki then whisks them both away and sicks Death upon Thor to remove him from the picture permanently.
Deadpool, upset at Death's sudden attraction to Thor/Blake (which Loki explains is due to Deadpool's new worthiness – a trait Death doesn't care for), tosses Mjolnir to Thor in order to restore his own depravity and win back Death's attraction…but the hammer still has no effect on Thor.
The duo return to earth and discover that Loki had turned the real Mjolnir invisible, exposing Deadpool's hammer and powers as forgeries. Thor transforms then threatens to smite Death. Deadpool takes offense and goes on the attack only to have his head sandwiched between both Mjolnirs.
Thorpool: So What Did We Learn?
Deadpool is unworthy after all! I mean, come on…the flight, the clothes, the speech mannerisms – they do not a Thor make. The very first things he does when he believes himself to be the god of thunder prove his unworthiness beyond the shadow of a doubt.
So while Deadpool shows up on many of the lists enumerating who besides Thor has wielded Mjolnir (even Marvel.com's, though it has a telling question mark beside his name), he never actually has.
It was all just another ruse of the trickster god Loki…

Kaduna To Renovate 4,000 Primary Schools At N60bn
niyi
Kaduna State Governor Nasiru El-Rufa'i, Sunday said the renovation of 4,000 primary schools across the state would gulp N60 billion.
Speaking at the 50th anniversary of Nuhu Baturen Makaranta Primary School at Anguwan Kahu, Samaru in Zaria-City, Kaduna State, the governor said the government had so far spent N6 billion in renovating some selected 400 primary schools in the state.
He also said that the state government was considering the possibility of converting all primary schools in the state into storey buildings so as to accommodate more pupils.
The Emir of Zazzau, Dr Shehu Idris, while speaking at the event described the efforts of the state government toward revitalising the lost glory of education as a gigantic step in the right direction.
He called on the people of the state to support the efforts of the present administration at all levels to enable it to deliver dividends of democracy to all.

Many people struggle from a self-critical body view that can have a negative impact on their lives. Use these suggestions to begin working towards a more positive body image.
Discard scales: Many people base their self-worth on the scale and thus, it becomes a measure not only of your physical body but also of you as a person. Get your physician to keep up with any weight changes for you and let you know if there is a problem.
Donate clothing: So many people keep clothing that no longer fits for years, and this causes emotional stress due to a negative body image. Go through your closet and donate the items that do not fit or that you do not feel good in to charity.
Move your body: It feels good, and you feel good about your body when you exercise. However, many people think of exercise as simply going to the gym or running. Moving your body can also be as simple as going for a walk or going dancing. You can also consider a class in something like yoga, ballroom dancing or aerobics.
Dress up for comfort: If you purchase clothing that is too small because you do not want to purchase a larger size, you will always feeling uncomfortable because none of your clothes fit properly. Learn what styles and brands fit your body and personality, and shop at those stores.
Dump the thin ideal: Fashion and beauty magazines can often be a huge trigger for body image issues. It is important to remind yourself that the majority of the images you see in such magazines have been heavily retouched – which means that the images you are comparing yourself to are not even real. Stop expecting yourself to look like something that does not exist.

A bridge beam under construction in Kobe fell down and killed two workers. The bridge beam was being lifted by a crane at the time.
It takes 20 minutes from my home to the place which the accident occurred. Yesterday, my daughters went to Soroban class by the car via the road. Due to someone's delay, they didn't face off against its accident. I am very sorry to hear that 2 workers were killed by the falled bridge beam but it was a relief for me tgat my daughters were safe.
I'm really relieved that your daughters were safe. I don't want this to happen again.
