Book presentation
In a small town in the mountains, a mass grave is discovered. Public prosecutors, journalists and former political prisoners arrive ; the issue becomes the main topic for the press and a daily source of political wrangling. The explanation that it was a crime perpetrated by the communists (in the 1950s) seems the most likely. Petrus, an archaeologist, researches old archives, visits and listens to the town's old folk, seeking a convincing lead, in order to quell the furore surrounding the bones. Afternoons with auntie Pauline (who reads the coffee grounds and interprets dreams), the tales of Dumitru M. (a nonagenarian former industrialist and refined gourmet), the history and dramas of Eugenia Embury (a Lady, the widow of an English oilman), the appearances of Paraskeva M. (with her mystic trances and blue-blood caprices) all stand out against a world convulsed by communism, a world which craves justice without begging for it. As the credibility of the military prosecutors is zero, given their ties to the former and current regimes, a number of investigating Argentinean anthropologists arrive in the small mountain resort. Their verdict is disappointing for a country where communism murdered wholesale and mutilated lives: the mass grave is the product of the mediaeval Black Death and not red machineguns. Another hand intervenes, however, on the following night. The hand of an unknown anticommunist resistance fighter from the mountains, who sprinkles old, rusted bullets among the bones, thus causing supreme justice to prevail over that of men.

The ground was friable and the bones came loose easily. At first the soldiers had worked with shovels and spades, even with hoes (many of them were accustomed to digging up potatoes and turnips), but after that they had switched to gentler tools. They dug with builder's trowels and putty knives ; they cleaned each bone with soft brushes, rather like paintbrushes. It was worse when it rained, because then each mass grave filled up with water. "Look at them wallowing in the mire," someone remarked during a shower. "You'd think they were pigs." And that was about right. The person who had spoken (with a teacup in his palms) and his colleague (munching toast) gazed from the veranda of the cabin (the archaeologists' house, as it was called in town), as the gendarmes, wearing raincoats and rubber boots over their uniforms, tramped through the mud and scrabbled in the clayey earth. They had given up on the putty knives and brushes. They poked around directly with their fingers and rinsed the bones in puddles. One or another would sometimes slip and fall, but this happened rarely, as a rule they tripped each other up, they shoved each other, they came up with all kinds of tricks to topple those who were still managing to keep clean. This practice, prompted by the rain, ceased as soon as magistrate-colonel Spiru made his appearance. The same as many other things.
As for the closure of the archaeological site (which around the middle of April had reached the perimeter of the armoury), the chief of local police was responsible for that, the hominid bell pepper, as he had been dubbed by one, innately taciturn research student. The same student, who was researching the equipment and battle techniques of the North-Danube legions, had sketched, after three shots of rum, a portrait of the copper : bushy moustache, crafty eyes, a gut that gestated not quadruplets but only flatulence. The major had ordered cessation of all activity in the fort area after a young lad of eleven, while looking for worms to fish for barbels, had found a skull that did not look like either a dog's or a goat's. And the frightened youngster, who had run for it together with his friends (after making the discovery that was to be recorded and commented by the newspapers in the first week of the summer holiday), had also quickly yelled something at the archaeologists, as they were plotting on the grass the next stage of the dig, one which would have brought it closer to the rooms of the smithy. They hadn't been able to understand anything from his words, but later someone expressed the opinion (namely auntie Paulina, in one of her interminable discussions with her tenant) that, fleeing for dear life, the child must have put a jinx on them. Although the mass grave was situated far from the Roman site, more than a hundred metres away, the chief of police had proved hostile to synchronism and heuristics, as the coroner said. He had not permitted excavation of the furnace and the adjacent rooms in parallel with his investigations. And what investigations ! Firstly some sergeants and warrant officers had shown up, who guarded the ruins day and night and drove away the curious, later they set about carting the bones to police headquarters in a wheelbarrow covered en route with a sheet of tarpaulin. The opinion of the professor, who dated the bones at around 1800, did nothing to dull the zeal of the major, nor even stir any doubt in him, for all that it was the opinion of one who had seen more ancient and mediaeval tombs than the latter had caught pickpockets. In any case, the professor, a university man up to his eyes in research, conferences, books in progress, lectures, chansonettes and bilious attacks, had departed soon after that episode, leaving it for others to enlighten a turbid mind. And this is what he had said to them : "Lads, I don't have time for pickling, so why don't you deal with the bell pepper and call me when he's done !" However, the officer, who couldn't care less about centurions' weapons (swords, chain-mail, lances, helmets, daggers, shields, crossbows, catapults and whatever else might lie beneath the earth), had not let himself be put in brine or vinegar ; rather he was the one who saw to them, singeing them over a low flame like aubergines for a pickle. On three different occasions (picking wax out of one ear, smoothing his moustache, tightening his tie knot), he had asserted that a few rusty bits of tin meant nothing next to so many human bones. In order to permit the archaeological site to reopen, he demanded an explanatory document regarding the dozens, perhaps hundreds of dead bodies, which had turned up in his circumscription, in clay fit only for stopping up stoves. He required evidence that would eliminate communist revolvers from the discussion and disprove the theory. "Gentlemen," the coroner would periodically interpose, "what a pity for a militiaman to have so much bad blood !" And he would sip the tea or coffee to which he was treated at the archaeologists' house, ever amazed at the virulence of the accounts concerning a personage who, he believed, had guzzled so many onions that his brain had seized up.
The doctor counted among the few who were welcome at the cabin. This cabin was shady on sunny days and dry when it rained. Others who were invited or received there included Mr Sasha, the photographer, who used to tether his dromedary to the small handrail of the steps ; Titus Maeriu, the representative of former political prisoners at the exhumation of those unknown bones ; a few journalists, who inclined towards the version of a republican massacre, but had grasped that the chief of police was aiming at an advancement in rank ; Mrs Embury's niece, with all her freshness ; and a biologist from the town, with the beard of a Dutch navigator and irrepressible outbursts against the major after having lost the local elections. To return to the coroner, not necessarily to his beige suit, it would chance that he sometimes made more placid appearances, during which he did not argue with anyone. As a rule, his good moods were the result of nights at the hotel, when he was visited by a lady journalist fond of red wines and the gentle strokes of his bottom, broader than his shoulders, at the end of which he used to sleep soundly. And in one of those relaxed, matutinal moments, subsequent to cabernet and tactile ardour, he had come up with the idea that the military magistrates were assiduously working on a huge puzzle, with thousands or tens of thousands of pieces. "How is that ?" someone had asked, in passing, unsuspecting as to what would follow : a lengthy and convoluted description, in which the doctor imagined the mass grave being emptied to the bottom and all the bodily remains spread out separately on the grass by the prosecutors, filling the precincts of the fort. He imagined Colonel Spiru strolling among them, hands behind his back, now and then picking up a bone and attempting to discover its correspondent, more often than not getting the match wrong, losing his temper and punishing the hapless gendarmes with orders to lie down and then stand to attention, or to do push-ups, then proceeding on his way, as if through a labyrinth, ever more rapidly and more confused, not at all prepared to give up, dreaming of a finale in which the reassembled skeletons would stand all in a row, dozens, perhaps hundreds, each perfectly reconstructed, with not a single element missing and in no case with a humerus or even a metacarpus positioned anywhere other than in its proper place. In reply, a voice from the cabin had proposed a game of baccarat or poker. And there had been plenty of punters, among them the owner of the dromedary. They never could have imagined that Spiru himself was appropriating the phalanxes of the little fingers and hiding them beneath a bundle of white shirts, something which would have prevented him (due to the shortage of pieces) from completing such a puzzle.
In addition to the major, nor were the prosecutors in favour at the archaeologists' house. Once, during a chilly shower, a drenched captain had striven to smile and seek shelter, but he had been recommended to buy an umbrella. Another time, in torrid heat, even the colonel had hoped for a patch of shade, but he had been shown the woods and told about a cool spring in the vicinity of a pine tree. From the cabin, they followed the events in the mass grave, without missing a single detail. If they were forbidden to research the armoury of the fort, then at least they should be able to enjoy the show in the company of whom they pleased. They witnessed, for example, the transportation of the bones back from police headquarters, a return journey devoid of glory. The bones had been carted back by the same sergeants and warrant officers, with a wheelbarrow once again, except that this time they had not covered them with a tarpaulin and had lost their air of cockerels strutting among hens. They resembled trembling sparrows, who did not know how to vanish quickly enough from the sight of an old tomcat that was as yet indulgent, with prominent cheekbones and colonel's pips. They approached slowly, perhaps because of the gradient and the weight, they emptied the wheelbarrow where they were ordered, and hurried away. Because their trips were repeated and it was never clear whether the scene was unfolding for the last time, hefty bets had been placed in the cabin, from which the doctoral student, the one who was studying the armament and battle techniques of the North-Danube legions, had won almost a quarter of a month's wages. Then the archaeologists were witness to the "great inventory," which had commenced with the placement of four folding tables at the sides of the mass grave, next to which the prosecutors with not yet white hair were posted. Under the supervision of Colonel Spiru, whose hair had been white for quite some time, the magistrates distributed to the soldiers transparent bags of different sizes, arranged from the femur to the tarsus and from the tibia to the sacrum, to which, on their return, were attached white labels with a code number and a few basic observations. Not so much as a week after the inception of the operation, folding chairs had been added to the tables, and in addition a chaise-long had appeared, which could be positioned anywhere and, indeed, was moved all over the place, according to the whims or intuitions of the colonel. After they had finished sealing into crates the heaps unloaded from the wheelbarrow and recording them in ledgers (and after they had made a habit of lunches at the Matilda House), the prosecutors had gone on to the strata of bones in the friable earth. They were interested in whether they could identify traces of bullets ; they put questions marks next to any broken or fissured skulls that could be argued to have suffered blows. The four folding tables did not follow the cardinal points, but were situated at intermediate points, so that the sun beat down on each of the magistrates in turn. Although they had chosen their places in hierarchical order, depending on the hour and the temperature of the summer days, the one affected by the glare of the sun would be sweating and seem more intent than the others. It was worse when it rained, because the mass grave would fill up with water. Then, those watching from the veranda would go into the small room of the cabin, the only room, which served as a cloakroom, storeroom, dining room, office and much more, and they would try to find themselves a chair among the jumble of that cramped space. They would wait for something to boil in the coffee-pot on the Primus, maybe some milk, maybe some wine with sugar and spices, and at least one of them would always ask himself how that ramshackle building could ever have been christened the archaeologists' house.
Translated by Alistair Ian Blyth
"Little Fingers is an exceptional debut, the debut of an already sovereign writer. A playful text, in which the horrific tends to turn into the grotesque. It's a question of repressed guilt, of course. And the general mistrust following the end of a tyranny. Fascinating is the idea of comparing regimes from different galaxies."
(Neue Z�rcher Zeitung)
"In his search for the truth, the young archaeologist Petrus unearths the stories of lives concealed, forgotten, biographies in which, true, there are no mass executions by firing squad, but many other things besides. A strange charm pervades this debut novel, combined with a sensitivity to the aftermath of totalitarian oppression."
(Der Spiegel)
"The novel does not exhaust itself in suspicion. Its ideal is not disclosure of the truth concealed behind current part-truths. Its ideal is the liberation of literature from the burden of historical proof. …Resolute, this debut leaves the climes of current realism behind it and peoples the startled health resort in the Carpathians with figures like those with whom Bohumil Hrabal once haunted socialist Prague: strange saints, virtuosi of provisory fortune and misfortune, inept lovers, modern wanderers from old fairytales and local legends, who pull along behind them anecdotes and fragments of their biographies like porous, faded, but still colourful trains."
(S�ddeutsche Zeitung)
"Florian painfully and minutely analyses a society disfigured by dictatorship, while at the same time narrating, with a passion for language and storytelling, a fantastic and poetic story full of unusual, unforgettable characters. …He does not go in for bizarre scenarios, but rather for the human truth that conceals itself behind lies, shame and suspicion. Florian follows unpredictable communist everyday life like a field researcher and discovers behind all the madness not only unscrupulousness but also, unexpectedly, much tenderness."
(Frankfurter Rundschau)
"The framework is close to that of a detective story, at whose centre stand forensic methods. It might also be a psychological novel, which traces lives before and after the key year of 1989. Filip Florian scoffs at such yearning for exposé with a round dance of ever more fantastically burgeoning tales."
(Deutschlandradio)
"With a punch line at the end of his book that I shall not give away here, the author shows in the most cunning way that fiction and lies can occasionally be truer than the – supposed – truth. With this astonishing novel, rich in points of view and ideas, full of imagination and humour… Florian also broadens the horizon of Romanian literature."
(Freitag)
"Little Fingers is a wholly remarkable attempt not to reconcile the fields of the political and the aesthetic but to allow them to exist side by side, without having to bring forward any justification. Nevertheless, as a means of resistance, unfettered fantasising always maintains the upper hand."
(Die Tageszeitung)
"Filip Florian knows that the past can hold a society in its grip like a chronic, obstinate illness. His short, dense novel sets forth a picture of history from different voices, from as many small bones -- and it is only after such a process that healing is conceivable."
(Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
"Florian weaves together several narratives in his debut novel, a strange story of war, death, alienation, politics and bizarre miracles told in brilliant prose."

Inovus Ltd. is a successful medical device company based in St Helens. They manufacture a range of affordable and versatile medical and surgical training products that are used by doctors and surgeons across the globe.
The business was created in 2012 by two directors, Dr Elliot Street and Jordan Van Flute. Both Street and Van Flute have successfully grown the business from a garage-based start up to a leading name in healthcare simulation, with their products sold in over 35 countries worldwide.
Inovus recently secured £80,000 of funding through the NPIF – BFS & MSIF Microfinance, part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund which is supported by the European Regional Development Fund. This investment was managed by MSIF and was part of a larger funding round totalling over £200,000.
The business is utilising the funding to help expand their manufacturing facility to cater for their ever-increasing product range. The funding also supports an increase in staffing as demand for the Inovus product range grows.
It is expected that the funding will help grow the Inovus workforce by over 50% in the next year.
Dr Elliot Street, Managing Director of Inovus, said: "The process of raising funds through NPIF was relatively streamlined which meant we were able to secure funding at a crucial time to support the launch of two of our new products, the Sellick™ cricoid pressure trainer and the SmartMan™ range of CPR manikins.
Andy Jones, Investment Manager at MSIF, said: "Both Elliot and Jordan are great business men; they are young and ambitious and have successfully established Inovus as an innovative company within the healthcare sector.

Q: Overflow hidden not working for absolutely positioned elements I'm trying to replicate the google's ripple effect in jquery + css.
It simply append a circular div inside buttons or divs, and when I click on the container, it applies a scale() animation to the circle.
I apply to the container (the button) the "ripple" class with position:relative and overflow:hidden, while on the circular div position:absolute
At the moment it works well for buttons, but for divs the overflow is not respected and the circle flows outside it.
button, .button {
    padding:0.8em 1em;
    border:none;
    background:#09F;
    color:#fff;
    border-radius:0.5em;
    cursor:pointer;
}

.ripple {
    display:inline;
    user-select: none;
    position: relative;
    overflow:hidden;
    outline: none;
    -webkit-transform: rotate(0.000001deg);
}

.effetto_ripple {
    position:absolute;
    border-radius:50%;
    background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.4);
    transform:scale(0) translateZ(0);
}

.effetto_ripple.animato {
    animation:ripple 0.6s ease-out;
}

@keyframes ripple {
    0% {
        transform: scale(0);
        opacity:0.9;
    }

    100% {
        transform: scale(2.5);
        opacity:0;
    }
}

This is the complete working code http://codepen.io/anon/pen/zvXKgz

A: Overflow is not settalbe on inline elements, change .ripple to inline-block.  This will keep it inline, but you will be able to style it like a block element.

I recently accidentally stumbled upon this abandoned warehouse decorated with local artwork on the south side of downtown Columbus. I was rather intrigued by the graffiti art and to whom it was paying homage to. Turns out, Train's Across the Sea is a song written by the Silver Jew's in the early 90′s.
I looked up the song and I think it's a pretty morbid. There's a man who dreams of trains across the sea where there are "no troubles on the line." Instead his life passes by and he lives as if there is no worth in it, like a series of boredom and bad events has created an apathetic attitude. I think passion is such a scary thing to lose, whether it's a strong love or intense hate, it moves you towards a goal. So kids, make those choices that will drive you forward. Live with passion so you don't become victim to apathy, live the life you will be happy with.

What's diversification when it comes to investing and why is it important?
Just like the word suggests: to diversify means to have a diverse portfolio of investments.
So if you're investing in just one single stock, or even 20 stocks that are really similar, you're not diversifying at all, you're putting 'all of your eggs in one basket' as they say.
If, like a lot of people, the only stocks you own are at the company where you work, you might feel positive that you're contributing to your retirement savings. But you're not diversified. In other words, you're not maximizing those savings the way you could – and should. And that's simply not the best way to grow your money. For one thing, if all those eggs are in just one basket and that basket falls, well, all those precious eggs will be broken.
You want to branch out, get a variety of companies into the mix. But, of course, there's a drawback to that: it's hard to do and it can be expensive. Before you get discouraged, we have a solution so you can get what you need at a price you can actually afford.
How to diversify your investments easily.
You can relax because you don't have to do this yourself. We will invest your money in a diversified basket of low-cost ETFs to grow your money gradually. Basically, diversification is just lowering your risk by spreading your money out over a lot of different investments.
And with Wall Street level expertise handling these details, you can feel confident - and excited - that you're growing your wealth in a calculated and low-risk way. As a Registered Investment Advisor, you can be assured that we have your best interests in mind.
John doesn't diversify his investments and invests $100 in just one stock of Company A.
It goes down 50%. The value of his investments is now $50.
Jose invests $100 in ten different stocks (10 x $10 = $100) including $10 in Company A.
His stock in Company A goes down 50% just like John's.
But because he invested just $10, he only loses $5. The value of his investments is now $95.

Gregor XIII., mit bürgerlichem Namen Ugo Boncompagni, (* 7. Januar 1502 in Bologna; † 10. April 1585 in Rom) war Papst von 1572 bis 1585.

Gregor XIII. trat 1539 in den Dienst der Kirche. 1558 wurde er Bischof von Vieste und 1565 Kardinal. Am 13. Mai 1572 wurde er im Konklave innerhalb von weniger als 24 Stunden zum Papst gewählt. Den Papstnamen, der schon 150 Jahre außer Gebrauch war, wählte er, da er am Festtag des Hl. Gregor I. zum Kardinal erhoben worden war. Gregor XIII. förderte Wissenschaft und Bildung, reformierte den Kalender, bemühte sich um die Wiedergewinnung verlorener Gebiete des Kirchenstaats und war eine der zentralen Figuren der Gegenreformation. In sein Pontifikat fällt die Bartholomäusnacht in Frankreich, die er ausdrücklich begrüßte.

Rosenkranzfesttag
Zum ersten Jahrestag der osmanischen Niederlage am 7. Oktober 1571 in der Seeschlacht von Lepanto begründete er 1572 das Rosenkranzfest.

Vatikanische Sternwarte
Um seinen wissenschaftlichen Beraterstab für eine Kalenderreform in die Lage zu versetzen, die Reform vorzubereiten und zu überprüfen, ließ er 1578 einen Turm für astronomische Beobachtungen bauen (Turm der Winde) und gründete damit die bis heute bestehende Vatikanische Sternwarte.

Kalenderreform
Bekannt ist er heute vor allem wegen der auf ihn zurückgehenden Kalenderreform, die er nach heutiger Datierung am 24. Februar 1582 mit seiner Bulle Inter gravissimas erließ und die noch heute als Gregorianischer Kalender gültig ist.

Hierbei ging es im Wesentlichen darum, dafür zu sorgen, dass das gemessene Jahr dem astronomischen wirklich entsprach. Die Frühlings-Tag-Nacht-Gleiche (Primar-Äquinoktium) sollte wieder auf den 21. März fallen, wie es durch das Konzil von Nicäa im Jahre 325 festgelegt worden war. Bis 1582 galt der (nach Julius Caesar benannte) "Julianische Kalender", der gegenüber der wirklichen Dauer des Jahres um elf Minuten und vierzehn Sekunden zu lang war. Alle 128 Jahre summierten sich diese ständigen kleinen Fehler zu einem vollen Tag.

Gregor verfügte nun, die Vier-Jahres-Periodik der Schaltjahre zu modifizieren: Unter den Jahren, mit denen jeweils ein Jahrhundert zu Ende ging (Jahre wie 1300, 1400 oder 1500), sollten nur noch diejenigen Schaltjahre sein, die sich durch 400 teilen ließen (Jahre wie 1600, 2000, 2400 und so weiter). Damit sind 400 Jahre im Gregorianischen Kalender drei Tage kürzer als im Julianischen.

Die überzähligen zehn Tage, die seit dem Konzil von Nicäa bereits aufgelaufen waren, ließ Gregor aus dem Kalender entfernen, so dass auf Donnerstag, den 4. Oktober 1582 sogleich Freitag, der 15. Oktober folgte ().

Päpstliche Universität Gregoriana
1551 richtete Ignatius von Loyola, der Gründer des Jesuitenordens, die erste Schule der Jesuiten ein, die Collegio Romano genannt wurde. Dieses Kolleg erfreute sich großen Zuspruchs und wurde 1584 von Papst Gregor XIII. an anderer Stelle in der Stadt neu eröffnet und besonders gefördert. Ihm zu Ehren wurde dem Collegio Romano 1873 von Papst Pius IX. der Titel Pontificia Universitas Gregoriana (Päpstliche Universität Gregoriana) verliehen.

Nachkommen
Gregor XIII. hatte – aus seiner vorpäpstlichen Zeit – einen illegitimen Sohn: Giacomo Boncompagni, der am 26. August 1572 legitimiert wurde (Siehe Boncompagni-Ludovisi). Ein Neffe Gregors ist Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522–1605).

Sonstiges
Bei der Eröffnungsfeier des Heiligen Jahres 1575 im Petersdom zu Weihnachten 1574 gehörte der Erbprinz der Vereinigten Herzogtümer, Karl Friedrich von Jülich-Kleve-Berg, zu den Ehrengästen Papst Gregors XIII. Diesem war sehr an seinem Gast gelegen, denn er hoffte, dass der junge Erbprinz später im Sinne der vom Heiligen Stuhl angestrebten Gegenreformation auf seine in der Glaubensfrage gespaltenen Länder sowie auf die benachbarten protestantischen Gebiete einwirken würde. Daher verlieh er ihm eine Woche später das geweihte Schwert und den Hut, eine Ehrung als Fidei defensor, die sonst nur Königen galt. Als Karl Friedrich nur fünf Wochen später starb, zahlte Gregor XIII. die fürstliche Bestattung und den enormen Trauerzug aus eigener Kasse und ließ ihn in der römischen Kirche der deutschen Nation, Santa Maria dell'Anima, gegenüber von Papst Hadrian VI. begraben. Er erhielt ein prachtvolles Ehrengrab nach dem Entwurf seines Erziehers Pighius, ausgeführt von den Bildhauern Nicolas Mostaert und Gillis van den Vliete, das unter anderem eine Auferstehungsszene zeigt, die auf eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der 1506 gefundenen Laokoon-Gruppe verweist. Der zweite Teil des Grabmals, ein Relief mit der Szene der Verleihung des geweihten Schwertes durch Gregor XIII., hängt heute im Vorraum der Kirche.

Im Februar 2023 wurde mit (560794) Ugoboncompagni ein 2012 entdeckter Asteroid nach Gregor XIII. benannt.

How to Get a Proper Replacement for Dell AC Adapter?
Most of users are confused about how to get a replacement Dell AC adapter for laptop. Actually, there's no the best one, even if it is an original, but the most appropriate adapter for you. After all, everyone has his own habits and requirements except for laptop models.
First of all, it is important to check the root cause of damage in the former AC adapter. For example, someone can use the adapter for more than two years while someone will find it is damaged for overloaded. Except for the adapter quality, it can show us some hidden information, such as capacity and charging time.
Secondly, it comes to the laptop models. As every Dell AC adapter is designed special for certain models. If you're going to buy a compatible Dell adapter, you must have checked the output voltage and wattage before purchasing. Normally, a higher voltage one will make the laptop out of control while a lower voltage one cannot provide enough power to it. Besides, some other factors like circuit design are also related to the compatibility.
As to the output power, it should refer to the adapter capacity and recharging rate. When purchasing, you have to check if the power of replacement is not lower than that of former Dell AC adapter. Otherwise, it cannot meet the basic needs of laptop and battery.
Furthermore, for some users, a higher capacity or fast charging Dell adapter is a better choice. For those who work in a special condition, they need a high power adapter to keep more programs running smoothly. For those who are frequently on a business trip or work outside, they need a fast charging one to leave on a moment's notice.
In addition, there's a kind of solar adapter in the market, which can be used in the car. Nowadays, nearly all the solar adapters are universal. And the price is much higher than others. If necessary, you can prepare one in your car. However, even if in the similar manufacturing process and materials, they are still not so good as a normal one in the performance for the additional functions.
Therefore, users should choose the suitable ac adapter according to their requirements. Every coin has two sides, so it is improper to pursue high usage and multifunction blindly.

"Jersey Boys" is coming home. The popular show, winner of the 2006 Tony for best musical, will open in November Off- Broadway at New World Stages.
The real-life onstage/offstage story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons features songs like "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man" and "December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)." The cast album also won a Grammy and the show was turned into a movie in 2014.
The show closed on Broadway in January (Mark Ballas was the final performer to play Valli) after 11 years — more than 4,500 performances, making it the 12th longest-running show in Broadway history.
Casting and an official opening date for the upcoming production are to be announced.

In the upcoming midterm elections, every vote will count. But the collective influence of voters is diminished by partisan gerrymandering — the penchant of politicians to manipulate electoral maps in a way that gives them an advantage. So says the state's top Republican. Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick sat down with Chief Political Correspondent Michael Aron.
Aron: Assemblyman, you wrote an Op-Ed recently about gerrymandering. You're upset that so many legislative districts around the state are solidly Republican or solidly Democratic. What's the diagnosis? What's the problem?
Bramnick: The problem is that legislators, congresspeople don't want to give up their seats, so they're gerrymandering in such a way that it's Republican or Democrat. But that is a problem for voters, because — and I think it's a problem for our country — most people in our country and in New Jersey are in the middle. Gov. Kean once said 70 percent of the people are kind of in the middle. But if you have districts that are very Republican or very Democrat, the problem becomes that legislator or congressman moves to the right or left, and that's why we have such polarization. We can set up these districts and make them more competitive, and then you would get somebody would have to play to the middle, as opposed to the right and the left. I just think people lose their right to vote when it doesn't make any difference.
Aron: Are you proposing something for the 2020 census year?
Bramnick: I've been proposing a constitutional amendment for years, saying that you try to make as many competitive districts as possible, giving the voters real choice. I don't think it's getting any headway right now in the Democratic majority, because, you know, they're in the winning seat right now.
Aron: How do you do that mechanically? How do you create more competitive districts?
Bramnick: Well, think of the way it's mapped now. Now, the districts are weird, you know. You could draw a funny little shape and that's the district. You could do the same thing and include Democrat and Republican towns, as opposed to all Republican towns. Like, my district is mostly Republican. Sen. Scutari's district's mostly Democrat. You could merge those two districts, they're contiguous, and you would just put one Democratic town more in my district, one Republican town in his district. Make it more competitive so it makes a difference.
((This has been edited for time Aron: Would you abolish the system that we've used for the past 70 years where five Republicans and five Democrats get in a room and they reach an impasse. And then the Supreme Court appoints a tie breaker, who most recently sided with the Democrats. Would you do away with that who system?
Aron: And as I think you just said, this is probably wishful thinking. The Democrats enjoy a comfortable majority in both houses of the Legislature. They're probably not going to buy into your proposal?
Bramnick: I'm not even sure Republicans would as well. I think this is about basically self-preservation, and I don't see politicians changing. But it seems to me, not only important to you as a voter, but important in terms of our country being less polarized.
Aron: How is Gov. Phil Murphy doing from the vantage point of the Assembly Republican leader?
Bramnick: I think he's way to the left in spending. I think it's just, he's almost blind toward how much the state costs the average taxpayer. He has a philosophy, and I think he deeply believes in it. I don't think he's a phony. He's almost like a Bernie Sanders, maybe to the left of Bernie Sanders. But this tax and spend stuff? It's not going to end well for New Jersey. As I said, nice fellow. His wife is very nice as well. But policy wise? I couldn't be farther away from his concept of tax and spend.
Aron: What about the vision he presents of a modernized, invested, a state in which there's heavy investment in public education, public transportation, innovation economy. Is that pie in the sky?
Bramnick: Well it's pie in the sky if people are leaving and moving to other states.
Bramnick: Without any doubt. I hear it every day. The Democrats think no one is leaving. You ask the average person you meet on the street whether they think this is affordable and whether they're going to stay, I can tell you that poll ends very poorly. So, his pie in the sky, and that's what it is. I don't think he sees the reality of the average taxpayer. He's broad. He has a broad vision. I just think it's the wrong vision.
Aron: I thought you were going to say he has so much money that he can't relate, but you're not saying that.
Bramnick: Well to some degree that is true. Somebody that has that much money, I think it is difficult to understand how the middle class really struggles. What I don't understand, because he comes from the business world, business people must be telling him that they're moving their businesses out of the state. But, look, I think he's committed to what he's going to do and I respect that. I think it's the wrong road.
Aron: His roots are middle class, or has he would say, middle class on a good day back when he was young.
Bramnick: Yes, but he is deeply committed to a very serious tax and spend policy. I mean, to raise billions of dollars in taxes, he wants free community college. Let me ask you about free community college. Why should it be free? Why shouldn't that student have some skin the game?
Aron: Because K-12 education is free and why not make progress and make the next two years free as well?
Bramnick: Because, one, we don't have the money. But, even if we did have an incredible amount of money, why not put a little skin in the game for the student? Why is it totally free? There are a lot of people who work their way through college. Look, maybe 80 percent, 75 percent. Why 100 percent free? I think people have to have skin in the game.
Aron: You've been the champion of civility in Trenton for a couple of years. I think you held something called Rally for the Reasonable?
Bramnick: It's difficult because people are so mad at government. Life is difficult in terms of making ends meet. So you have to say to people, "Listen, let's talk to each other." And I'm not sure that Donald Trump, even though he's a Republican president, is the king of civility. That's not helpful. I would prefer if he showed more civility and more humility. I think that hurts my cause a bit and I've said that.
Aron: Are you embarrassed that he's the titular leader of your party?
Bramnick: I would say I'm extremely, I'm not less concerned about policy, although I disagree on some policy. I am concerned about the lack of humility. I think that is problematic as an example for young people and for older people. I really believe that humility, especially as a leader, is really important. I don't see a lot of that, and that's deeply disconcerting to me.
