INTERVIEW: Josh Hutcherson reacts to Francis Lawrence being chosen as director of Catching Fire
Josh Hutcherson was at the GLAAD Media Awards tonight to receive a Vanguard Award and E! Online had the chance to ask his reaction to Gary Ross's departure from The Hunger Games franchise, and to Francis Lawrence being officially chosen as the director of Catching Fire. Read what Josh had to say below:
"Gary Ross was the best guy in the world," Hutcherson said at the GLAAD Media Awards, where he's being honored with the Vanguard Award. "I think he brought so much to the movie. I'm definitely going to miss him."
Hutcherson added that he had thought Ross was on board for all three flicks, but he's psyched to work with the sequel's new director. "Francis Lawrence is extremely talented," he said. "I've heard he's the nicest guy in the world. I'm really excited to see what he's going to do with it."

Much to my surprise, The Long Suffering Mrs. G. got into "Conning." The original plan was for her to spend time at the Con until she was "Conned out" and then go check out more museums at Balboa Park. But that never happened. In addition to helping George and me help Sergio behind the table, she ran around to a lot of booths. She got all sorts of buttons, including a different button from the Peanuts booth everyday, and all sorts of things, some free and some not, that she thought various relatives, friends, and co-workers would enjoy. She even got the WB bag that Elie almost got killed over without getting into a fight!
I also took a break at one point and had a very nice chat with Tom Luth. Tom is a really great guy and it was very interesting and pleasant just to relax and talk about the life of a colorist, and other things that had nothing to do with comics. Of course I saw Stan at his booth, which is about 3 miles from Sergio's, and his lovely and wonderful wife, Sharon. (The best way to get there from Sergio's table is to go out to the lobby and then come back in. That way you miss getting bottled up in the Mega Booth section.) Stan was lettering the first pages of Hell On Earth and when he saw me he quickly flipped them over and said I couldn't see them! Later he gave me the original lettering for the moral to the Groo Special (!!!) which had to be done on a separate strip of art board.
Quick Draw was great, of course, as others have described! There are times when Scott Shaw! and whoever the guest artist is that year give Sergio a run for his money, but overall, as Scott has said, Quick Draw is Sergio's World. SOMETHING TO REMEMBER: Thanks to Mark, Groopies coming to Quick Draw never need to worry about getting a good seat, which is pretty nice since the large room is packed out. There is always a section in front of the main (Sergio) screen cordoned off for the press and Mark says that's where we can sit "I've been told that for 90 minutes I'm the god of that room, so if I say you can sit there, you can sit there." It's always nice to have connections. Name dropping Mark & Sergio has helped me on any number of occasions.
Sergio is quite a jokester, of course and one of the funniest jokes he pulled was when Joe Ferrara, who owns Atlantis Fantasyland, brought over a young man from Greece. George speaks and writes Greek and earlier another Greek gentleman had come by and George had written a generic message in Greek on a little post it note for Sergio to copy into the book Sergio signed for the man. So now Joe brings over the young man and says "Well, I know Sergio speaks 6 or 7 languages, but I don't think Greek is one of them." And Sergio looks at him straight faced and says "Oh, yes, of course I know Greek." Reaching into his briefcase to get a pen, he palmed the post it note so Joe and the young man couldn't see it, and signed the guy's book with the Greek greeting! Joe was flabbergasted and I could barely keep from laughing until they left!
Another time someone jokingly asked what would happen if they ran off with original art and I said I'd jump over the table and tackle them.  Sergio immediately told the guy to take the art because he wanted to see that!
Final part tomorrow.  Probably won't be any more interesting.


There will be a beautiful Full Moon out the night of Valentine's Day this year. So take your Valentine outside that moonlit night and wish upon your star!
And many a face is upward turned to gaze at the moon's bright eye.
There's many a hand will toil to-night by shining land and sea.
O moonlight, bear my message of love to the heart that beats for me.
While you're looking at the Moon, look for the brightest 'star' you'll see in the eastern sky after sunset. That's the planet Jupiter, which is in the Name A Star Live constellation Gemini this month.
Facing southeast on February mornings you can see the planets Venus and Saturn. The planet Pluto and NASA's New Horizons spacecraft are in the same area of the night sky as Venus is now, but won't be visible to the naked eye.
If you're an early bird, go outside shortly before sunrise and face southeast. The bright 'star' you'll see — the "morning star" — is the planet Venus, which is in the Name A Star Live constellation Sagittarius this month. Although you won't be able to see it with your naked eye, the planet Pluto also lies in Sagittarius. NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is there too. The spacecraft carries a portion of the cremated remains of the famous astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930. Your star name will be on another NASA deep space mission — called "Sunjammer." On board will be the cremated remains of everyday people. That's being arranged by our sister company, "Celestis." Click here for information about your star name on Sunjammer, and here for information about Celestis and Sunjammer.

Prince's Trust Achiever of the Year
Clifford Harding
After nine years without a job, with no purpose and no future, Clifford Harding was facing life as just another unemployment statistic.
But one moment changed his life, and put him on the path to helping other young people from deprived backgrounds.
He has gone on to become a role model for youngsters in his community and developed a truly innovative way of teaching children maths that saw him rapping in the House of Commons.
Clifford, who lives in Birmingham, had always found school tough.
Suffering from dyslexia, he struggled to keep up with his classmates and failed most of his exams.
He remembers: "I didn't know what I wanted to do. I grew up in a very strict household, and when I left school with no qualifications or job prospects I rebelled. I was a bit like a caged animal breaking free and didn't care that I didn't have a job."
As he approached the end of his teens, Clifford's grandparents and mother sadly died in quick succession.
"That's when things became really bad," he says. "I wasn't interested in bettering myself and remained out of work for nine years. I was causing trouble, getting involved in petty crime, drinking, loitering and smoking."
But one day his benefits failed to come through - and that is when his life changed forever. He says: "It really upset me. But then I thought, what am I doing waiting for this money when I could get a job instead?"
Clifford managed to secure a cleaning job, and - inspired by the big offices he was working in - started to think about his future.
He heard about The Prince's Trust and made the decision to approach the youth charity for help setting up his own business, which started out as a children's party company.
But he decided he could do more than better himself. He became determined to make a real difference in his community too.
Now he volunteers as a youth worker with vulnerable young people. He's also worked with children with disabilities, helped out at after-school clubs and coached local football teams.
"It is so important to give back," he says.
And the most remarkable way Clifford gives back is by helping children learn maths - having developed a way of teaching them their times tables using songs and raps.
His hugely interactive Tunes Times Tables method has proved popular with schools, and Clifford, 36, now employs two people to help him spread the word. He was recently invited to the Houses of Parliament to demonstrate his innovative teaching methods to a group of MPs.
To reach children from all walks of life, Clifford now organises regular community events to give children from deprived areas the opportunity to have fun and forget about their problems.
He says: "My work in schools means I have met children from extremely poor backgrounds. I am so driven to help out where I can. And I want to change the negative view of rapping.
"I didn't believe in education as a child - but now I know it's the way forward."
Clifford turned his life around through his own drive and initiative. His teaching method is infectious, and he's a great male role model in an area where lots of children are growing up without a father figure.The Judges

Dirty Cop Robert Mueller has now collected information from Trump donors, the RNC, all of the Trump Campaign officials, Trump businesses, Erik Prince and Blackwater, and now the NRA.
When does Mueller and Rosenstein get arrested?
And now it appears a Mueller associate leaked information on the NRA to McClatchy.
For months, the National Rifle Association has had a stock answer to queries about an investigation into whether Russian money was funneled to the gun rights group to aid Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
The NRA, which spent $30 million-plus backing Trump's bid, has heard nothing from the FBI or any other law enforcement agency, spokesman Andrew Arulanandam reiterated in an email the other day.
Legal experts, though, say there's an easy explanation for that. They say it would be routine for Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigators, who are looking at the NRA's funding as part of a broader inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections, to secretly gain access to the NRA's tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service.
2 of 3 Unnamed Anti-Trump Agents Work On Robert Mueller's Team!

Q: User inputs N, find all pairs of a and b co-primes where a#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void gcd(){
    int a,b,hcf;
    for (int i = 1; i <=  b; ++i) {
        if (a % i == 0 && b % i ==0) {
            hcf = i;
        }
    }
}
void pirm(){
    int a,b,n,hcf;
for (int a=1;a<n;a++){
    for (int b=1;b<n;b++){
gcd();
if (hcf==1) {
        cout << a << " and " << b << endl;
}
}
}
}
int main(){
    int n,a,b,i,hcf;
cout << "Enter a natural n, less than 100" << endl;
cin >> n;
if (n>=1 && n<100){
pirm();
}
else
    cout << "You didn't enter a natural number" <<endl;
}

When I run it and enter a number, it doesn't do anything. The task is as follows:
User enters a natural N, that is less than 100. Find and output all pairs of co-primes that are < 100.
As you can tell by the code, I'm a complete newb at C++. Just wondering why the program "stops" or where I messed up the code in general. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A: There are a number of issues here.
First, the direct answer to your question: your program never prints because it never executes a print statement. If you enter a natural number, but hcf is never equal to 1, you will never print anything.
Now the question becomes why is hcf never 1? And that's where we start to run into more issues with your code. The main misunderstanding seems to be about scope. If you declare variables inside a function, they are within the function's "scope" -- the function can use them, and any scope inside the function can use them (e.g. loops and conditionals), but no outer scope can use them. You declare a, b, and hcfseveral times, but you only ever use them in gcd(). Not only is this unnecessary, but critically, these are different variables. You change the hcf in the scope of gcd(), but the hcf in pirm() is unchanged!
There are many ways to do what you're trying to do. The one that's closest to what you already have is to have gcd() take parameters by reference. If you change your declaration of gcd() to void gcd(int a, int b, int &hcf), and do not redeclare those variables in the first line of the function, then you are able to modify hcf in a way that will stick even when the function goes out of scope. You will then need to change your call on line 15 to gcd(a,b,hcf);.
Your algorithm could also be improved, though I believe it will still work. If you're interested in a more canonical way to find the gcd, try looking into Euclid's algorithm.

A: You should learn how to pass arguments to a function. Corrected your code for you, seems to be working:
#include <iostream>

void gcd(int &hcf, int a, int b)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= b; ++i)
    {
        if (a % i == 0 && b % i == 0)
        {
            hcf = i;
        }
    }
}

void pirm(int n)
{
    int hcf;

    for (int a = 1; a<n; a++)
    {
        for (int b = 1; b<n; b++)
        {
            gcd(hcf, a, b);
            if (hcf == 1)
            {
                std::cout << a << " and " << b << std::endl;
            }
        }
    }
}

int main()
{

    int n;

    std::cout << "Enter a natural n, less than 100" << std::endl;
    std::cin >> n;
    if (n >= 1 && n<100)
    {
        pirm(n);
    }
    else
        std::cout << "You didn't enter a natural number" << std::endl;

    system("pause");

    return 0;
}

Monday morning, Envision Edmonton, the lobby group fighting to save the Edmonton City Centre Airport formally announced that it would be taking court action to challenge the ruling of Alayne Sinclair, Edmonton's city clerk, who ruled that Envision's petition campaign was invalid.
Sinclair says her office has not yet been served with legal notice, but that she expects Envision to seek a judicial review of her order in the Court of Queen's Bench. She says she also anticipates that Envision will seek a court injunction to stop the city and Edmonton Airports from taking any more steps towards shutting down the ECCA.
But under the law, Sinclair told me, the court has limited powers to overturn her ruling.
In other words, a court can review to see whether Sinclair and her staff applied a fair and reasonable standard when they evaluated the validity of the signatures on the petition.
But to me, this all seems to be tilting at windmills. No matter how many signatures were on the petition, and no matter how many of them were or weren't valid, the petition was filed months past the deadline laid out in provincial law.
Charles Allard's original suggestion that the staff in the city clerk's office were "weasels" who invalidated the petition on the mayor's orders said more about his principles than about the integrity of Sinclair's office. It's one thing to be Don Quixote. It's quite another ride off in the guise of Sancho Panza.
Frankly, if David Dorward were paying me for political advice, I'd tell him to ask Envision Edmonton to stop insinuating that the clerk's office did something political untoward. Sinclair and her hard-working staff are not the creatures of the mayor. They are career civil servants, who have dedicated their skills to making sure that municipal elections are fair and above board. They are tasked with being impartial and apolitical. In other words, they work for us, not the mayor or council of the day. If you suggest that there were politically motivated improprieties in the way Sinclair's office evaluated the petition, you call into question the integrity of the election process itself.
Allard and Envision are quite within their rights to ask for a judicial review of the Clerk's ruling. Whether that particular strategy will actually help their annointed candidate to become mayor is a very different question.


The 2nd Annual Koinonia Institute Conference was held at the Coeur d'Alene Resort November 9th and 10th and was even better than the year before! This year we included a special pre-conference gathering on November 8th, exclusively for our KI students, at our K-House Auditorium. They were treated to a private session with our featured conference speaker, Dr. Jerome Corsi.
Dr. Corsi's presentation for this exclusive group dealt with his current best-seller, The Late Great USA. Following the presentation, our students were treated to a lively question-and-answer session that went well into the night.
Earlier that afternoon, our KI students were also invited to sit in the studio while our good friend Avi Lipkin taped his strategic perspective on what is happening in modern-day Turkey.
On Friday night, at the opening of our General Session, our good friend Richie Furay and his band opened with worship and continued to lead worship several times throughout the weekend.
Our two evening speakers were Dr. Jerome Corsi and Joseph Farah, the founder of World Net Daily. Dr. Corsi led off with his presentation concerning the current status of "Atomic Iran." Then, Joseph Farah rounded out the evening with a candid look at the political landscape, as well as an evaluation on the condition of the Church today. All the sessions were emceed by Chuck Missler and Dan Stolebarger.
On Saturday, we were blessed to have a surprise visit from Dr. Tim LaHaye. Dr. LaHaye became a late addition to our speakers' lineup and spoke concerning the value of preaching prophecy. We were truly blessed to have this modern-day "Father of Pre-Trib Prophecy" grace our platform. Chuck was pleased to present both Dr. LaHaye and Dr. Corsi with honorary Gold Medallions.
John Loeffler was again inspiring with a penetrating and provocative presentation of "The Three Legs of Society," using clever visual aids to keep the three legs organized.
Following our lunch break, we were honored to have our KI European Representative, Ron Matsen, from Portsmouth, England, give us a perspective of what is taking place in England (as well as the entire EU) in what is being referred to as "Eurabia," the widespread Islamization of Europe.
Chuck Missler rounded out the afternoon program by sharing the vision of Koinonia Institute. Before breaking for dinner, Chuck and Dan gave out four earned Bronze Medallions to Sally Ilko, Mark Allen Atterson, Susan Wakeman, and Ingrid Ashcom. Special achievement awards were given to Ken Kotoski, Mary Miller, Peggy Buzby and Veronica DeRue.
And, in a touching tribute to one of his most inspiring mentors, Chuck awarded a posthumous Gold Medallion to Dr. Walter Martin, presented to his widow, Darlene.
On Sunday morning we ended the weekend with our traditional Breakfast Cruise on Lake Coeur d'Alene. One thing that was noticeable this year was that besides the amazing presentations of all of our speakers, there was an overflow of true "koinonia" in the halls and restaurants with our growing student body. It is becoming clear that KI is a warm, caring fellowship of like-minded believers seeking to raise the bar and become more and more like the Lord we serve.
And, a special note for all those who were unable to be in attendance: This year's entire conference is available on the Koinonia House store.

Q: How can I keep content from re-sizing it's wrapper div? I'm a css noob, and though I want this DIV to resize when the window is resized, I don't want inner content to change the size of it.

A: Try using:
div {
  overflow: hidden;
}

Read more here.

A: Use the overflow statement. e.g.
overflow: hidden; /* all content hidden as it spills over */
overflow: auto; /* Scroll bars appear on div when required to allow moving around */
overflow: scroll; /* Scroll bars will be present at all times */

A: set overflow: hidden on the containing div

A: Have you looked into CSS and the overflow directive?  You can use this to tell the div to scroll or truncate/hide its content when the content is too large.


After the new engine was prepped and ready to go everything was set for the final stretch of the l28et swap. It actually pretty straight forward, take out the old engine and put in the new one. The method of doing so is another issue. Luckily the garage i did the swap in had a thick wooden beam that i could attach a hoist to. I opted this method instead of a cherry picker.
Datsun marked in garage for proper placement later.
After draining all the fluids, removing the radiator, and undoing the engine mounts, it was ready.
No strings attached. Old one ready for removal.
The engine came out easier than expected. The only snag being the headers. If removed it would be an extremely easy process.
stripping down the old one getting it ready for storage/resale.
With the engine out, I had a lot more room to mess with the engine bay. Also to make room for the turbo afm I had to cut off the stock AFM bracket. Sanded some of it down, primered and painted it. I found an metallic green at OSH that matched pretty close to the stock Datsun emerald green.
After installing the radiator (Eagle 2-row Aluminum Radiator) I found out about the AFM bracket I was talking about earlier.
The new radiator required some shroud trimming.
The shroud required some trimming. But otherwise, it fit.
Being concerned about the wiring aspect of the swap, I opened up the harness to wires so I can get a solid idea of how everything was routed as well as some rerouting/tucking. :). Wiring was really simple with the harness I had. I was already semi set-up for a swap. I re-did most of it though. I re-made the ignition harness, installed an HEI unit, wired in the power and "start power, wired in power to the fuel pump, power to the injectors and ecu, and installed the proper relays and fuses where needed. It was really only 5 or 6 wires in total.
Set up for first start up.
Before starting I had to change fuel pumps. Well, i didn't need to but I wanted to drive it as soon as I got it running decently… I used a walbro 255 pump that I bought from a Hybridz member. It did require some modifications to fit in the stock location.
And after that. It started on first turn of the key. It was exciting.
Congratulations, how does it feel?
It feels much stronger than the stock motor with only the stock tune. I can imagine what pulling more power out of the set-up will feel like. I'm still surprised it started up so willingly on the first try!

Seattle coach Brian Schmetzer put that situation to rest Tuesday after he was asked point-blank if there was a scenario that could see Dempsey's return.
Schmetzer shrugged his shoulders one final time, and the issue was dead.
Dempsey has played in two MLS Cups previously with New England in 2005 and 2006. The Revolution lost both of those title matches.
His last appearance with the Sounders was Aug. 21. He tallied two goals in the team's 3-1 victory over Portland.
Five days later, it was announced Dempsey had been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. A month later, the Sounders ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
Schmetzer did confirm that midfielder Osvaldo Alonso suffered a "slight knee sprain" during the 1-0 win at Colorado. He indicated the veteran should be available for the MLS Cup.
Besides Dempsey, the other three Sounders who have played in MLS Cups are forward Herculez Gomez (won it in 2005 with Los Angeles) and defenders Chad Marshall and Brad Evans (won it in 2008 with Columbus). "I've tried to tell myself, 'What can I say to the guys that will help them be calm, or try and let them enjoy the ride?' But ... everything has been steady in this locker room, so it hasn't been brought up," Evans said. ... The team did not watch the Toronto-Montreal Eastern Conference final match Wednesday together. Roldan watched it at Morris' house. Schmetzer went home to cheer on Montreal from his living room. "Yes, we'd love to host," Schmetzer said. ... Alan Kelly has been named the head referee for the MLS Cup. The 41-year-old has been ranked as one of the best officials to come out of Ireland. He is in his third season in the MLS.

I had a plan. I had a spreadsheet. I'd prepared a schedule with the right balance of strength and speed, rest and rigor. It was perfect. By the day of the marathon, I'd be the strongest I've ever been.
Life never works out so nicely. Excluded from my spreadsheet was a root canal, a strained ankle, and any number of other personal distractions. The ankle injury in particular set me back, and I lost a good month while I recovered.
I rested, I iced, I compressed, I elevated (the RICE method: live it, love it), but life just went on without me. My spreadsheet stopped being a helpful training tool and became a daily reminder of how far behind I'd fallen.
Whenever we experience something painful — heartache, homesickness, illness — we're told to give it time.
But time takes time. The world didn't stop and wait for me to get better. The race organizers didn't offer to delay the marathon because I wasn't ready.
I've done my best heal smartly, but time is not on my side. The marathon is in three weeks, and I'm where I should have been a month ago. I could waste these next three weeks worrying about how my training should have gone, how far I should have run, and how fast I should be going. Instead, I choose to spend the next three weeks being grateful for a (mostly) healthy body and doing everything I can to cross the finish line.
I won't be the fastest runner at the race; I won't even be the fastest version of myself. I can't control what's happened, but I can make the best of where I am.
I'm getting stronger by the day, and I'll be as ready as possible.
Next postNo Alarms. No Surprises.


The technology in the cars we drive is developing at an incredible rate. There's no hiding from the fact that self-driving vehicles will be part of our future, indeed our children may not know anything different when it comes to transport in their adult lives. We recently attended a Ford Australia conference on the future of mobility which was an incredibly thought provoking session, you can read more about it here. For several years now, the manufacturer at the forefront of mobility and it's development has been Tesla, with Elon Musk's company producing some incredible vehicles which you see more and more on the roads these days. It was timely that our good friends at Tesla Australia were kind enough to give us a Model X for the weekend, what a treat, seriously, what a treat!
If you haven't seen the Model X before, let us introduce you to it. It's Tesla's first SUV, a six seater sporty looking piece of art. Before we get into the technological side of things, you just need to appreciate the look of this vehicle. Its smooth curves and ergonomics are breathtaking, and it's obvious from the moment you hit the road, it's a head turner… so much so, there may well have been several cases of whiplash reported in Sydney over the Queen's Birthday Long Weekend.
Before you even get in the car, you are hit by the intelligence of the Model X. With your key you can open both front doors, both back doors (more on those in a minute) the boot and the front boot or the Frunk (Front Trunk) as the clever fellows at Tesla like to call it. It recognises that you're in the vicinity of the car and not only unlocks it, it also opens the driver's side door for you… it's like having a butler, albeit an invisible one!
The two passenger side doors are where it gets really cool… bat wing style openings which not only open with the flick of the key or by pressing the handle, they also sense anything around them so will only open a safe distance without hitting other cars or walls you may be parked near. It's so much fun picking people up and opening the doors for them as they walk towards the car, the look of amazement on their face is something I will never tire of.
When you first get into the car you cannot help but notice the incredibly large windscreen. It disappears over your head and beyond, the vision you have from this is amazing, you are not left wanting for visibility which of course, can only be a good thing. On the downside, the rear view mirror is particularly small, I understand the reasoning that Tesla doesn't want to detract from the phenomenal windscreen, but an extra couple of centimetres of mirror would have helped.
As with most cars these days, you can adjust your seating position, your headrest, lumbar support and the steering wheel. This is particularly good when for our family, with me at 6"2 and my wife at 5"1, it can be difficult to find a car that is comfortable for us both. But with so many options for adjustments, this ticks the box. What's great in the Model X is that you can save profiles so if you and your partner both drive the car, you can change the positions with the press of a button to return it to just how you like it. Heated seats, as you will know if you're read our other car reviews, are a big plus in a car for us. The Tesla takes this to a whole new level, with ALL SIX seats heated with the press of a button on the main control console.
In the back there is simply no other car that we're yet to drive that has such good access for getting babies and children in and out of the car. With both Isofix and anchor points on both rows, you can use any child seat or capsule, but more importantly the batwing doors allow you to get completely in the car from the outside to fasten belts, adjust seats and make your child comfortable. If you choose to have them in the back row, you can move all other seats forward to make space for the same reason. It is so easy to get your child safely strapped in and as a parent, this is always reassuring. If I were to criticise something which is also a cool feature, it would be the 'skylight' window built in to the passenger doors, if you have a baby or indeed child of any size in that seat, you'd need to consider adding a shade of some sort to protect them from direct sunlight.
When it comes to driving the Tesla, it always take a while to get used to. If you've seen our review of the Model S, you'll know we spoke about the direct correlation between your foot and the movement of the car. Put your foot down, the car moves, take your foot off the pedal, it slows. It's a very different driving style to a normal petrol car but once you are used to it, it makes perfect sense. Indeed the whole driving experience of the Model X is an enjoyable one, at no point do you feel like the car or its technology is driving you, it's all there to make you feel in more control of the vehicle. If you do like acceleration, you'll love this. It's INCREDIBLY quick, just flick it into ludicrous mode and you'll see what I mean, seriously, it'll knock your socks off!
Charging the car is easy if you live near a Super Charger, as it's quick, free and straightforward, however… DON'T FORGET TO CHARGE. I can vouch for this having set out for a family day out to the NSW Southern Highlands, only to realise that we would be stranded there if we continued on the journey. A basic error from yours truly, but a reminder that you can't just pull in and fill up with fuel like you can with most of the other cars on the road. On a road trip or a day out though, you never run out of music or playlists to keep you entertained, thanks to Spotify which is built in to the entertainment console along with your WIFI.
So, what other things tickled us here at Dads Stuff? Well for a car which is so technologically advanced and incredibly futuristic, there's some fun little quirks you can find when you explore the control console (which by the way is absolutely massive!). You can draw on pictures using your fingers as the pen or paint brush, something Mr 4.5 years old enjoyed, and indeed the Dads Stuff team did, as you can see below.
Our favourite though was discovered by mistake, when we hit a red planet… only to find, 20 minutes later that it had changed the Sat Nav to place us on Mars… really bloody cool!
It was interesting to note that Tesla boss Elon Musk wished that he had started the development of the Model X from scratch rather than trying to shoehorn an SUV into the designs stemming from the Model S sedan. Whilst we absolutely loved the Model X, we're intruiged by how the next generation, compact SUV that is currently in development will differ from both this car and the sedan that Tesla sells. Learning from both options and starting from scratch with an SUV design will surely create a magnificent vehicle.
Finally, what's it worth? Well the vehicle we drove had a few options on it, and you could take it from a cool $306k. Not cheap, but remember, no fuel required, software updates provide you with new features that keep your vehicle at the cutting edge, and it's an AMAZING car! Why is it that any amount of money that seems big is described as 'cool'… well in the Tesla Model X's case, it's because that's exactly what the car is.

I've been a Business Advisor for some 10 years now. Without doubt, the topical questions I've encountered most in that time revolve around three subjects; marketing/sales, finance and employment. Today, I'd like to share with you a few thoughts on marketing and sales.
The questions here are usually "How do I get more customers?", or "I've sent out/delivered loads of posters and flyers and I'm getting no response. What else can I do?" So please allow me to share a few thoughts based on my experience not just as a business advisor, but as a customer too.
To sum it up in one simple phrase, my message here (far from revolutionary I know) is that you have to think like your customer. So what, exactly, do I mean by that?
Well, let's think about the language you use. You have a product or service which you are very passionate about, of course. You want the whole world to know about it. But what are you saying to the world?
This is particularly relevant if your product has technical aspects. Because of your enthusiasm, you may produce all your information with a lot of technical phrases or jargon. Does this mean anything to your readers? If they don't "get it", you've lost them. If I had £5 for every customer that I've asked "So what does that mean in simple language I can understand, please?" I'd be wealthy! Please, make it easy for the reader to grasp.
That's a really good question to ask yourself when you've drafted your marketing material or website. Re-read it and think to yourself, "So what?" You need to think BENEFITS.
So what's the difference? Put simply, a benefit is "what it does for me" (the potential customer). So if you take any of my examples above, your thought process should end each feature with "which means". For example, the article of rainwear made from the latest high tech fabrics might mean it's lighter, easier to pack and carry, dries quickly and allows you absolute freedom of movement. Now, as a potential customer I'm beginning to see why I might need or want one.
Make it easy for them to grasp the real benefit to them of what you're offering.
Give it a go and hopefully, you'll be on the road to successful sales!

UPDATE 1-Finnish regulator positive on Terrafame's uranium mining application
Lefteris Karagiannopoulos
(Adds context, quotes)
By Lefteris Karagiannopoulos
OSLO, June 11 (Reuters) - Finland's radiation and nuclear safety authority (STUK) has issued a positive recommendation on miner Terrafame's application to mine uranium commercially, STUK said on Tuesday.
Its recommendation will influence the government's decision on whether or not to grant Terrafame a permit, which would allow the company to become the first miner to extract uranium on a commercial scale in the country.
"There are no radiation safety-related obstacles for granting a permit for the uranium recovery plants of Terrafame," STUK said in a statement.
Terrafame plans to recover uranium acquired as a by-product of other metals and to refine it into yellowcake, a semi-finished uranium oxide product used to manufacture fuel for nuclear power plants.
"Τhe ore processed by the company each year contains about 300 tonnes of uranium, half of which dissolves during bioleaching. A uranium extraction plant would be able to recover about 135 tonnes of said uranium," said STUK.
If Terrafame gets the permit, it has said it estimated it can start mining towards the end of 2019 and would invest 10 million euros ($11.3 million) to expand one of its plants.
The recovery plant will be part of Terrafame's metal plant and the raw uranium products will not be transported outside the mine area for processing before the completed uranium oxide product is transported off site.
The ore mined at the Terrafame plant contains varying quantities of uranium with the highest concentrations at around 15–20 milligrams per kg. By comparison, the average concentration of uranium in Finnish soil and rock is about 4 mg/kg.
Uranium mining in Finland has only previously been conducted at on a test basis.
Terrafame Ltd is a multi-metal company producing nickel, zinc, cobalt and copper at its Sotkamo mine. The company is 77% owned by Finnish Minerals Group, a company wholly-owned by the Finnish state.
Terrafame was set up by the Finnish government to take control of what was Europe's largest nickel mine some years ago from Ahtium Oyj, previously named Talvivaara.
The former owner went bankrupt after facing serious production problems caused by a waste leak in 2012 that contaminated still-polluted nearby lakes in what was Finland's worst environmental catastrophe in recent decades.

This has been a WEIRD and disappointing tomato gardening season. Here in Zone 9 we had winter, then 3 weeks of spring, followed by the most pathetic summer ever. The Central Valley of California is known for blazing hot, 100° F August days followed by muggy, miserable evenings. In fact, local businesses use the theme "Hot August Nights" to advertise car shows and concerts.
This year, daytime temps haven't passed 95 F and at night the temperature has even dipped into the high 50's! And yes, although it may sound strange, I actually do miss 100 degree weather and muggy nights. 😉 And I'm not the only one. Tomato plants NEED warm temperatures both at night and during the day.
In the garden, I've harvested handfuls of 'Sweet 100's and 'Black Cherry' for the past three weeks. For the larger varieties, 'Early Girl' and 'Cherokee Purple' have yielded a miserly 10 tomatoes. By now I should be knee deep in tomatoes and absolutely sick of them. After all, I put in 9 plants! I even planned a salsa party.
So why aren't tomatoes turning red? It has to do with the combination of Maturity+ Mother Nature + Variety. In a "normal" year, the equation equals perfectly ripe, yummy tomatoes. But in this far from normal year, many gardeners are frustrated.
Back to the "how" end of things. First, tomatoes must reach a "mature" green stage before they can turn red. This tomato will be a good size for its variety, be light green, and have a pink to reddish color on the blossom end (bottom).
In this stage, the tomato produces an odorless, colorless gas called ethylene (same gas bananas emit). Ethylene is a growth hormone that causes green cells to turn red. Windy weather thwarts the ethylene gas by blowing it away from the fruit. This interrupts and slows down the ripening process. Another weather factor is temperature. If weather is below 50 or above 85, the tomato will not produce the pigment cells that turn the tomato red (lycopene and carotene).
My friend Anna with a Striped German tomato, 2008 was a great tomato year!
Variety is the third number in the equation. Small fruited varieties (like cherry and grape tomatoes) normally turn red faster than large fruited varieties. Not all large varieties ripen at the same time, check for "days-to-harvest" before choosing a variety. This number can be as low as 62 and as high as 100. Order seed catalogs or check online for this information. (Make sure the varieties do well in your area also ). And of course, characteristics like flavor and texture are important!
You can store mature-green tomatoes at 55-68 degrees F and they will eventually ripen. (this works for tomatoes that have fallen off the vine to early IF they are mature). For faster ripening, keep a small amount of fruit enclosed and add a ripe banana or apple. Temperatures over 77 degrees result in less red color and softer fruit. (Never store tomatoes in the refrigerator, the fruit will be tasteless).
If you are just DONE with tomatoes in your garden, you can dig up the plant (loosen it gently to keep roots intact). Shake off loose dirt, and hang the plant upside down in a protected area that meets the temperature requirements mentioned.
Here's hoping next year is a better year for tomatoes!
Mine are a little behind, but not too bad, I thought it was just b/c we got them in late =) I do mostly a Roma type for processing/etc. Our Celebrities are delish, but seem on the small side. But loving the cherry and Yellow Gold cherry! My children eat a whole basket at lunch =) Hope you are feeling better soon!
Let me know what recipes you find Holly. I've heard that green salsa is good. Glad to hear your 'maters are doing well Beth!
I'm looking up green tomato recipes that don't require frying them for the health factor.
I have a potted cherry tomato very tall and healthy, with at least 100 green tomatos, for over a month now.
I coudlnt figure out why they are not turning red, after reading this artcile, it all makes sense, they are on a very windy porch, windy every day in the windy city of chicago.
Well, I cant stop the wind, or they wont get any sun, thanks for the article, i thought my thumb was too green, and kept my tomatos green, boy was i glad it was just the wind.
– Too bad about your tmeatoos! If you make fried green tmeatoos though, I definitely want to hear about them!Oh, and it's cool the way Muriel's hands look like they're glowing in this picture. That's gotta be worth something, right?
My Daughters tomatoes have turned greenish red, you can tell they are ready to be picked.
Hi Becky, glad you've found a way to tell they are ripe. I bet they are delicious!

American Repertory Ballet returns to New York City on April 6 and 7 at 8 p.m. with "Generations: Influences from the Modern Age," a triple bill of critically acclaimed works by José Limón, Gerald Arpino and Artistic Director Douglas Martin, at The Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College East, 68th Street between Park & Lexington Avenues.
"This program represents the influence that past generations have on their future counterparts, says Artistic Director Douglas Martin. "Current artists absorb the knowledge of past generations and explore and expand upon their ideas. As a dancer, you are influenced by the style, narrative and construction of the works you perform. As a choreographer, you process those experiences and reach out to find your voice."
The triple bill begins with the much loved "There is a Time," a deeply evocative work by, legendary modern dancer and choreographer José Limón. This classic work is based on Ecclesiastes 3 and evokes rich feelings through both the dance and the familiar, time-worn words.
ARB premiered the work in 2015 as part of the José Limón International Dance Festival at New York's Joyce Theatre. World-renowned reconstructor/director Sarah Stackhouse set the work on the ARB dancers.
"The greatest thing about dance is also the hardest thing about dance," Martin says. "It needs to be passed down person to person, and Sarah is one person removed from Limón." Stackhouse danced with the José Limón Dance Company from 1958-1969 as a principal dancer and partner to Limón and was featured in many of the female roles of his masterworks.
The program also features the company premiere of "Sea Shadow" and "Rite of Spring" - two works that represent important milestones in Douglas Martin's career as a former principal dancer with the Joffrey Ballet.
"Sea Shadow," choreographed by Gerald Arpino, has been described by The New York Times as a "neo-romantic tale of love between a mortal and a supernatural with contemporary naturalness." In 1989, Martin performed the male lead in a major revival of the work by the Joffrey Ballet. ARB is performing the work as part of the Joffrey/Arpino Celebration marking the 10th anniversary of Gerald Arpino's passing and the 30th anniversary of Robert Joffrey's passing. The Gerald Arpino Foundation is honoring these two influential innovators by organizing performances of their work by renowned companies across the nation and internationally.
The evening concludes with "Rite of Spring," a ballet choreographed by Martin, inspired by the revolutionary works that the legendary Ballet Russes brought to America in the early 20th century. Martin's ballet maintains the original libretto, a celebratory ode to spring and a statement on the theme of ritualistic behavior and sacrifice. However, he has re-set the story in 1961 corporate America - think AMC's "Mad Men." Complete with pencil skirts and avocado-colored chairs, Martin's "Rite of Spring" explores the office relations, the gender roles and focuses on women breaking through traditional male roles. Martin was a cast member of the Joffrey Ballet's historic 1987 reconstruction of Nijinsky's original 1913 version.
Aptly titled, Generations: Influences from the Modern Age clearly demonstrates that each generation of dancers had a style all their own, and helped defined what modern dance is today.
Tickets range from $55 - $35. To order by phone, call (212) 772-4448 or visit online at www.hunter.cuny.edu/kayeplayhouse.
American Repertory Ballet's mission is to bring the joy, beauty, artistry and discipline of classical and contemporary dance to New Jersey and nationwide audiences and to dance students through artistic and educational programs. The organization comprises: the preeminent professional classical and contemporary ballet company in the state; Princeton Ballet School, one of the largest and most respected non-profit dance schools in the nation; and ARB's Access & Enrichment initiatives, including the long-running and acclaimed DANCE POWER program. The performing company is a classical and contemporary ballet company committed to presenting ballets from the 19th and 20th centuries alongside new and existing works by choreographers from today. Founded in 1963, the company is currently under the artistic leadership of Douglas Martin, former principal dancer with the Joffrey Ballet. To learn more, visit arballet.org.

our Chairperson
Fiscal year 2020–21 was extraordinary by every measure. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of the year had an enormous impact on the global economy and caused widespread trade and supply chain disruptions that continue to this day. Despite these challenges, CCC embraced change.
We adapted our business practices and service offerings to continue doing what we do best: help Canadian businesses gain access to international opportunities, and in so doing, strengthen the Canadian economy and create jobs at home. We are by no means out of the woods yet: the COVID 19 pandemic continues to create business, personal and societal challenges at home and abroad. CCC will continue to support the Government of Canada's response to these unique and extraordinary circumstances.
Adapting to challenge is a central feature of CCC's international business approach. In 2020–21, despite the challenges of COVID-19, we were able to help more exporters reach new markets across a diverse range of industries, and we supported more than 12,000 Canadian jobs.
These achievements are the direct results of our strategic direction in 2020–21, which focused business development efforts on priority sectors of the Canadian economy to grow and diversify Canadian export opportunities.

CCC's government-to-government (G2G) contracts facilitate trade and reduce transactional risk between Canadian companies and foreign governments.
our President and CEO
It is an honour to have been appointed President and CEO of the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC). A central theme in fiscal year 2020–21 has been the disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all facets of life, from how we live to how we do business.
As an organization, we have met the challenge of this disruption with resilience, adaptability and a collaborative spirit to ensure we are positioned to support our stakeholders—Canadian businesses, the Government of Canada, global trade partners and our employees—through the crisis.
Despite the economic headwinds and global trade market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we took definitive steps to improve CCC's financial position by prudently managing expenditures and signing new contracts.
Through CCC contracts, Canadian companies from across Canada exported $2.92B products and services globally, supporting an estimated 12,000 Canadian jobs.
We signed export contracts totalling $1.35B, including $922M in DPSA contracts, surpassing our $900M DPSA target for the second consecutive year.

CCC's Business Lines
International Prime Contractor (IPC)
CCC's international contracting business is a fee based service that involves establishing G2G contracts with foreign government buyers.
Through G2G contracting arrangements, CCC mitigates the government buyers' acquisition risk, cost and time while providing an added incentive to purchase from Canadian companies.
For Canadian companies, international prime contracting enables access to challenging markets backed by the Government of Canada through CCC's guarantee of contract performance.
This arrangement lends additional market credibility to Canadian companies that sell goods and services abroad and provides support throughout the execution of the contract.
U.S. DoD Prime Contractor Service (DPSA)
DPSA is a bilateral defence trade agreement with the U.S. that CCC has administered on behalf of the Government of Canada since 1956.
DPSA enables Canadian companies to compete for contracts as part of the U.S. DoD's domestic supply base, which includes the U.S. and Canada. This helps maintain Canada's privileged relationship as a trusted acquisition partner of the U.S. DoD.
CCC helps Government of Canada departments and agencies fulfill complex purchasing needs related to a various international commitments and programs, such as:
Providing urgent and emergency disaster relief support
Helping foreign governments fight cross-border crime (e.g., fraud, corruption, human trafficking)
Supporting domestic and international anti-terrorism efforts
Facilitating Canada's contributions in other international endeavours (e.g., scientific or other collaborations)
On behalf of Global Affairs Canada (GAC), CCC also manages all non-trade support services for 10 Canadian trade offices in China.
These offices, located in China's rapidly developing second-tier cities, support Canadian companies looking to enter the Chinese market, while also providing a cost-effective trade promotion platform for Canada's Trade Commissioner Service. CCC charges a fee to recover the costs of managing the Sourcing program.
In 2020–21, CCC introduced three additional services to help Canadian companies find export opportunities. These services include:
The Global Bid Opportunity Finder (GBOF)
CCC's Impact on the Canadian Economy
Goods and services exported by Canadian companies of all sizes — under contract with CCC
CCC's Impact on SMEs
Goods and services exported by Canadian SMEs (only)
Spotlight on CCC Customers

The North Warning System (NWS) is key to North America's continental security. Spanning 5,000 km across the vast Canadian North-from the Yukon to Labrador, with 47 radar sites and five logistic support sites—its's a challenging undertaking to maintain and operate.
A critical piece of this undertaking is the all-weather transportation provided by Indigenous owned and operated companies like Canadian North. Canadian North is an Inuit wholly owned air transportation company that connects people and delivers essential goods throughout Canada's North. It operates 25 destinations within the Northwest Territories, Nunavik and Nunavut, from its Southern gateways of Ottawa, Montreal and Edmonton, with a versatile fleet of Boeing 737 and ATR 42 aircraft.
In 2018, Canadian aircraft manufacturer De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited teamed up with CCC to sell three Dash 8-400 aircraft to Biman Bangladesh Airlines Ltd., the national flag carrier airline of Bangladesh.
CCC made it possible for De Havilland Canada to close the deal, and avoid the risk of lost opportunity, through a simplified procurement process that would not have been possible without a government-to-government contract.
In 2020, De Havilland Canada delivered the first of the three aircraft. The Dash 8-400 is helping to fill a critical need in Biman's domestic routes, where the airline relies on larger aircraft to provide the service. The customized internal configuration of the aircraft also meets Biman's requirement for added luggage compartments to better serve its passengers.

Pueblo West resident Gloria McFail, 52, died Friday, February 16, 2001, at University Hospital in Denver after a lengthy illness. She has gone home to her God and her Angels. Born June 16, 1948, in San Antonio, Texas, Gloria was a graduate of Fox Tech. She attended business school and worked as a data processor for, among others, Sears and EDS Systems. At the time of her death, she was an advertising and layout specialist for The Pueblo Chieftain. Gloria was active in her community and she enjoyed taking part in many holistic and wellness activities. She also was an accomplished stained glass artist. An animal lover, she was a member of the United States Dog Agility Association, the top competition venue in the growing worldwide sport of dog agility. Two of her 'rescued' dogs, Bitsy, a Chihuahua mix, and Bear, a Bichon Frise, qualified in regional meets for the national finals of the USDAA before her illness forced her to retire from the physically demanding competition circuit. She leaves behind to mourn her loss her husband, Eric, of Pueblo West; stepdaughters, Janet (Wayne Uyatiny) McFail of Pine Junction, Colorado, Jennifer (Tony) Hernandez of Tallahassee, Florida, Dr. Julie A. McFail of Woodstock, Illinois; and stepson, Christopher McFail of Lakewood, Colorado; special friend, Rose Geremia of Pueblo West; her mother, Ascencion Ortiz of San Antonio; her mother-in-law, Teresa Leader of St. Petersburg, Florida; sisters, Santa (Adam) Barrientes, Diana (Joe) Rieger, Patricia (Joseph) Baez and Sandra (Emilio) Pena, all of San Antonio; brothers, Jose (Sylvia) Villanueva, Peter Ortiz, Gilbert (Mary Ann) Ortiz, Leroy (Minnie) Ortiz, Danny (Michelle) Ortiz, and her favorite niece, Lisa (Mando) De Le Cruz, and numerous other nieces and nephews, all of San Antonio.

In memory of Gloria, in lieu of food and flowers, contributions to the Pueblo Animal League and its noble cause would be appreciated. Memorials may be made through the funeral home office.


"Do you believe in astrology, general Arahao?" Emperor Tartiis is a tall man, heavy set with wide shoulders. His natural physique would have made him an excellent warrior if his life of luxury had not made him weak and soft bodied. As it was, his ability to hover over you both physically and politically still made him an intimidating man. "No, your excellency." General Arahao, however, is one of the few men who could match the Emperor's stature. His life of war had made his body as hard and lean as dried leather. His face, pock-marked and stricken with scars, displayed nothing but the seriousness of the situation.
"Since the days of 'The Final Acts' and continuing to today, the 'Favoured' have looked up towards the sky at night." The Emperor motioned in the general direction of his glass night viewing ceiling. An intricate pattern of lead supports and glass tiles in all shapes and colours indicated the most important stars and clusters.
"On nights as clear as this one we all see the same patterns in the vast expanse of heavenly lights, dominated by a huge, sky-spanning swathe of dim light. The Glira, fascinated as they are by architecture and construction call it the support beam of heaven, claiming that it alone maintains the structure of the planes from devolving into chaos." The Emperor paused, the floor beneath his feet contained a mosaic of the star signs in brightly coloured stones and shells. Mirroring the sky above, a long graceful streak of white led from one end of the room to the other.
"They are, of course, mistaken. The Mesia, in turn, imagine it to be the heavenly stream that provides life-bearing water between the planes, allowing life to spawn and thrive everywhere." he said as he stepped carefully around the star signs to the beginning of the room.
"They are idiots." The Emperor now stood face to face with his general, "But we," he pounded his chest with pride and repeated the word with emphasis, "WE know the truth of it.

And if we look closely and often over the course of months, we can see the Gods carrying star-lanterns and travelling slowly along the road. Even Maran and Noral follow the Road as they eternally chase each other." He stepped even closer to the general now, "and so must we." he said, jabbing his finger at the general, punctuating every word. He turned and carefully stepped across the room, following the representation of the Road running between the star sign mosaics, exiting the room through a hidden door.

The fleshy hands of the Emperor gently brushed some fleck of imagined dust from the immaculate blade. He picked it up, testing the sharpness of the blade. The warrior in Arahao immediately took notice of his the Emperor chose to grip the sword. In his mind, he already knew exactly how to disarm the Emperor and thrust the blade into his chest. He remained still.
