Volvo Trucks, more? autonomy for the new generation of the VNR Electric truck
Electrification is also progressing in the HGV sector . Among the most important builders; active in this field c & # 39; & egrave; Volvo Trucks which has just announced the launch of the new generation of its electric truck VNR Electric designed primarily for the American market. The company is working hard to push the spread of the use of heavy battery vehicles. In this sense, one cannot & ograve; do not remember, for example, the collaboration with DHL.
In addition, he is working with companies; like Aurora to develop autonomous driving solutions for its electric trucks. Volvo Trucks after starting to introduce its battery-powered trucks in Europe, from 2020 it has decided to take them as well to America, launching its VNR Electric model equipped with a 264 kWh battery capable of offering a range of up to 150 miles (about 240 km) depending on the configuration chosen.
Now, the new generation of the VNR Electric model improves above all autonomy thanks to the introduction of larger capacity batteries. Depending on the configuration of the truck, it is; possible to have a capacity total batteries (6 accumulators) up to 565 kWh for a distance that can go up to 275 miles (approximately 442 km). Alternatively & egrave; It is possible to have versions with 4 batteries for a total of 375 kWh.
The capacity has also been improved; charging since & egrave; It is possible to refuel the electric truck with direct current at a maximum power of 250 kW . Truck configurations equipped with the batteries with higher capacity; will be able to reach 80% of the charge in about 90 minutes.
Interested companies may already order this new truck in all the variants in which it is offered by Volvo Trucks. The production, says the company, will start; in the second quarter of 2022. Andy Brown , product marketing manager at Volvo Trucks, commented:
Volvo Trucks continues to expand capacity; of VNR Electric to make it more & ugrave; efficient, meet the demands of our customers and provide a better driving experience. The electric motor with two-speed I-Shift transmission; offers better acceleration. Innovations such as Volvo Active Driver Assist make driving simple and precise, while improving safety.

This can become a problem if you have not been doing your updates regularly.
I have found that the below helps to resolve the problem.
Once both services have stopped move onto the next stage. If the wuauserv service doesn't stop do the bits one and then retry the wuauserv.
Open file explorer and browse to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.
Delete all files within this directory. If they don't delete make sure the services are still stopped as Windows 10 will try and automatically restart them.
Retry your windows updates and the should install. You may have to do this more than once.
You can also use the link for Windows Update Troubleshooter to check for other error that need fixing.

Q: Intent filter doesn't seem to work I was wondering if the host in an intentfilter is necessary. And if so, does the host need to actually exist.
This is what I've tried:
<intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data
                android:host="hi10.android.be"
                android:pathPrefix="/eidsignature/"
                android:scheme="http" />
            <data
                android:host="www.hi10.android.be"
                android:pathPrefix="/eidsignature/"
                android:scheme="http" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

Then I put a link in my html:
CLICK HERE

Here's the thing. hi10.android.be doesn't exist. So I was wondering if this needs to be a valid host for it to activate my app. If so what host should I use, since the app is still in development and isn't hosted anywhere yet.
EDIT: this isn't working btw

A: No, it need not to be a valid host for using intent filter. as long as string in intent filter for host matches string in url for host. you are good to go.

CHUKA Umunna's 'Independent Group' of breakaway MPs is scheming to mount possibilities during a European Elections.
The Sun can exhibit a supposed TiG is contacting a Electoral Commission in a entrance days to see if it can register as a domestic celebration in time for a probable May ballot.
Ex-Labour Shadow Minister Chris Leslie pronounced a celebration would "easily" find possibilities if given a immature light by a watchdog.
And he said: "We are actively deliberation subsequent stairs given a astonishing developments. It wouldn't be right if people usually had a choice between Corbynism and Theresa May's Tories.
The Electoral Commission on Tuesday night reliable it would still be probable for a new organisation to register in time – though conceded it could be "tight".
The pierce came as Labour stepped adult a fight on a breakaway organisation by voting for ex-MP Mike Gapes to be booted off a cross-party name committee.
Ministers secretly fear that European Elections are all-but unavoidable given a deadlock over Brexit.
The Sun final week suggested that Whitehall chiefs had told MPs Britain would have to reason a elections on May 23 if a Brexit understanding had not been upheld in a Commons by Apr 12.
Sources claimed that Tory celebration authority Brandon Lewis warned Cabinet on Tuesday a Conservatives would face a grassroots mutiny if they have to reason a Elections. UKIP surfaced a final European Elections in 2014 in a outcome hailed as an "earthquake" by afterwards personality Nigel Farage.
It won 24 of a 73 MEP seats – holding 27 per cent of a renouned vote.

An artist rendering of what the new water recycling plant being built by the Water Replenishment District of Southern California will look like in 2018. The location is an industrial area of Pico Rivera, near the San Gabriel River. (images courtesy of WRD).
NORWALK >> The Water Replenishment District of Southern California on Thursday signed a deal with a Walnut-based developer to build its water recycling plant in Pico Rivera.
Once the plant is built, about 21,000 acre-feet of treated water that normally gets wasted to the ocean will instead be tapped, treated and put into the ground where it percolates into the water table and is later drawn by retail water companies' wells. An acre-foot is measured as one foot of water over an area of one acre, and is approximately equal to the water used by two to four families in Southern California per year.
The giant step toward self-sustainability means managers of two of the largest ground water basins in the region will no longer need water pumped from Northern California or the Colorado River in order to serve 4 million customers from 43 cities in south Los Angeles County. The central and west coast underground basins will essentially be drought proof and no longer will have to worry about water allocations from outside the area.
Replenishment of the water table will become a local effort for the first time in nearly 60 years, officials said. The recycled water will replace the need for 21,000 acre-feet of imported water, according to the WRD.
Shea Construction in recent years has built the largest wastewater recycling plant in the world and the largest desalinization plant in the Western Hemisphere.
Funding comes from an $80 million low-interest loan made possible by a $7.5 billion water bond known as Proposition 1 adopted by voters in 2014, said Robb Whitaker, WRD general manager. The district also secured $20 million in grant funding, he said, to go toward the cost of building the project.

Felix ni kijana mdogo wa miaka 15, anasoma kidato cha nne katika shule ya sekondari Njiro Mkoani Arusha. Kijana huyu ameifahamu Twende kupitia utambulisho mfupi unaofanywa na wawakilishi kutoka kwenye kituo hiki cha ubunifu ambao hutembelea shule mbalimbali kwa ajili ya kuitangaza na kuwafahamisha watu mbalimbali hasa wanafunnzi, nia na malengo ya kituo hiki ni kuwasaidia wabunifu wadogowadogo wenye mawazo ya kiubunifu na kuwawezesha kuyaweka katika uhalisia kwa lengo la kusuluhisha changamoto zinazo zisumbua jamii za kitanzania.
Katika kuwezesha wenye mawazo na ambao hawana mawazo tunatoa mafunzo ya takribani siku tatu ambapo wanajifunza ujuzi wa kutengeneza vitu kama vile tochi, chaja za simu kwa kutumia sola na kisha wanapewa nafasi ya kuja na changamoto ambayo ipo kwenye jamii walikotoka na kuitafutia ufumbuzi.
Felix alifurahi sana na kuona nae anaweza kuwa mbunifu kama wabunifu wengine na kisha kuisaidia jamii inayomzunguka na yeye mwenyewe.
Felix is a young male of 15 years, who is studying at Njiro Secondary, in Arusha,as a Form Four student. He learned about Twende through our STEAM outreach program that we run with schools to introduce our programs and welcome students to Twende to learn about innovation and design of different technologies that solve community challenges.
During this first workshop, we teach students how to make an LED light up, and then the serious students come to Twende to learn how to make different things like an affordable flashlight and solarphone charger. Then we give them the chance to come up with their own ideas of what they want to make.
You can see Felix's hydropower innovation in the photo above. In between his making, he was kind enough to share some of his story with us: Before come with the idea I start think of the community I came from which is surrounded by big river containing water everyday where some people are benefitting through it by irrigating their farms and nothing more while using the local lumps for lighting purposes. So I go deeply thinking of how I can use this source of water for other purposes and fortunately the hydropower come to my mind but I didn't know how I can go about it. Then I consulted Twende trainers for help, they asked several questions and then they let me try and I really tried. Within three days is where I started seeing things a bit moving and I was so excited to see more effects so I commit myself and I promise to work hard until seeing something really happening.
I like coming back to Twende to continue with my project just because of the kind of support in terms of supervision and advices I get from Twende as well as after I realize my idea will going to work and possibly to help targeted users, then I decide to apply all my efforts and skills I got from the training to work on improving my technology.
I like Twende because of the kindness and hospitality of its people, Advice and helpings make me reach where am now…Good place to be and doing things, I have been involved with school clubs which was more about creativity and design, I manage to create a helicopter but there wasn't a motivation as well as other supports as that I got from Twende that's why I like Twende mostly as compared to other places.
By creating a technology, Felix was proud to see his idea working. He returns to Twende to continue it with the aim of helping his community, who don't have access of electricity.
Other idea developed during this training include: walking robot, automatic wagon, drilling machine, fan, drone, and pedal-powered generator.
Very impressing story of innovation by a very young person. More effort required to support these young people. Congrants to the Twende team for innovative support they are providing to our young people. Lets join hanfs in this blessed activity. Keep goingTwende- keep moving youths.

An agreement to do something is not proof of anything anywhere, but particularly in California where nuclear generation did decrease with the end of generation at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating station (SONGS), and wind and, particularly, solar generating capacity has soared.
Here's 25 years of California generation - which provides a limited picture of their electricity sector as much of their needed supply is imported.
Ontario's IESO grid-connected generation was about 154 TWh, and emissions about 7 ktCO2e.
So California is a spectacular laggard by this Ontarian's standard, and targeting the ~10% of their generation that comes from nuclear to make more room for more spasmodic solar and wind isn't going to change that in a positive way.
... this plan is a model that can be replicated around the country, where nearly 100 nuclear reactors will retire in the coming decades, and around the world.
Good luck to California in accomplishing something beyond striking a pose, but solar and wind resources are vastly different across the globe. It would be lovely to see one jurisdiction not blessed with plentiful hydro-electric generation capability get to low emissions with renewable generators - but it would be prudent to wait for an actual success before replicating current high-priced experiments.


Now into its 16th edition, the World Bank's Doing Business continues to champion both regulatory quality and efficiency. With 128 economies all introducing substantial improvements, this year's report recorded a total of 314 regulatory reforms between June 2017 and May 2018. Unsurprisingly, New Zealand, Singapore, Denmark, Hong Kong and South Korea once again make up the top five; however, many other countries performed better than expected.
Georgia continued its impressive climb as it registered sixth in this year's rankings. Last year's report recorded 44 business reforms in the Eurasian nation, with 673 improvements launched overall across the past 15 years. Georgia outranked countries such as Sweden, Finland and Australia. Registering a business in Georgia involves just two procedures – taking an average of only 20 days – and, as such, it is regarded as the second most accessible place to start a business. Other recent reforms include granting protection to minority investors, where it also ranks second in the world, and improvements to the insolvency resolution process.
Macedonia, currently in the process of its name to the Republic of North Macedonia, climbs into the top 10, leading the way for Balkan states. Second place in the region is Slovenia, 30 places below. As with Georgia, Macedonia ranks well in terms of protecting minority investors (seventh), while also fairing well in dealing with construction permits. Getting electricity and enforcing contracts – both of which became more difficult in 2017 – are currently the most significant challenges in the country.
This year Lithuania climbed to its highest ever ranking, as neighbouring nations fell down the table. Lithuania is ranked as a top 10 country in three categories: dealing with construction permits, registering property and enforcing contracts. Registering property is a particular highlight, with the country ranking third in the world, but resolving insolvency requires work, ranking 85th. The report noted improvements in four different categories: protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders and labour market regulation. This progression follows consistent reform since 2011.
Touted as 'E-stonia' – in 2000, the country declared internet access a human right – this Baltic state has long been a champion of digital technologies. Once aged 15, Estonians are granted e-identities, providing means of entry to over 4,000 different services. Despite falling four places when compared to the previous year, Estonia remains a leading nation within Eastern Europe. Known for having one of the most competitive tax in the developed world, this year's Doing Business report ranked Estonia 14th for paying taxes. Where the country falls down is in protecting minority investors, where it ranks a disappointing 83rd.
This tiny island in the Indian Ocean – located 2,000km east of the African coast – climbs into the top 20 of the rankings for the first time since 2013. The report recognised improvements in eight different sectors, with its best ranking coming in terms of paying taxes, where the nation ranked sixth overall. Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth, leader of the Militant Socialist Movement, : "Mauritius has been transformed into a huge construction site, with projects being implemented across the country." The government's determination to improve the lives of the entire population is clearly paying off.

A Lowcountry biking & camping adventure
Edisto Island: The final miles of Highway 174 are well-marked for cyclists; one of the oak-shaded campsites at Edisto Beach State Park; pedaling here offers views of tidal creeks on a mix of paved and sandy roads and paths in the maritime forest.
Edisto Island: There are no worries about parking when you pedal to the beach, which is known for great shelling.

Hunting Island State Park: Sparky, the hound
Sometimes how you get there makes all the difference. Inspired by the easy pedaling along the woods and water of the West Ashley Greenway, a pair of adventurers load new bikes onto a retro-1980s camper and hit the roads and sandy trails of Edisto and Hunting islands
Following the route of a former rail line, the West Ashley Greenway is a local treasure. The eight-mile, no-car path skirts saltwater creeks and offers views of the Stono River, as well as some tree shade, while passing through neighborhoods from Windermere Shopping Center on Folly Road all the way to Main Road on John's Island. We often cycle the full distance on a there-and-back ride from Earth Fare, and then one day wondered—what if we just kept going and pedaled for 40 more miles to Edisto? From Charleston, that would involve navigating Highways 17 and 174. Taking the idea seriously, we tried a few test miles but quickly realized it's far too dangerous to share these roads and their narrow or nonexistent shoulders with cars and trucks.
I wasn't giving up, though. We began to hatch a new idea for transportation. Instead of cycling the entire way, we'd take our recently acquired RV, a 1985 Travelmaster. As a bonus, bringing the camper would mean that mellow Sparky, our 16-year-old hound, could join us—another first for a bicycling trip. I couldn't wait.
SEA CYCLE
After loading the bikes, gear, and food, we hit the road and arrive at our first stop, the Live Oak Campground at Edisto Beach State Park, at the earliest check-in time, around 2 p.m. It's a sunny day on Edisto Island, but the campsite we're assigned is in dappled shade, and the RV fits nicely under an oak tree. From there, I walk less than a dozen yards to see fiddler crabs sideways-skittering across the pluff mud of the marsh and dark squirrels zipping along branches that bend and twist over the flats. The tide's out, so we hop on the bicycles as soon as we can get them off the RV's rack.
This campground is perfectly situated for exploring Edisto by bike. The final miles of Highway 174—from the Botany Bay Plantation turn-off all the way to the beach—offer up wide, well-marked bicycle lanes. That afternoon, we cruise down roads that connect to 174, following Red House, Crisp, and Shell House roads to see cottages, pine woods, long spits of sand, and hummocks in the marsh.
It's a quiet island, grown over with nature—just what I was yearning for. It's amazing to find so much of its 68 square miles preserved in public land or conservation easements by the Edisto Island Open Land Trust. We peek in the windows of Po Pigs Bo-B-Q to see the walls hung with oversized historic photos of island scenes (it's not open that day, but it has been a favorite on other trips), and we stop at The Edistonian, a gift shop, gallery, and general store, and buy several 35-cent postcards with pictures of sharks' teeth.
As the sun goes down at the campground that night, the woods are full of birdsong and squirrel chatter. The next morning, we rise early to cook breakfast in the RV and get back on the bikes to head to the beach. The trip is a cinch via a trail from the campsites through the woods and across a bike- and pedestrian-only boardwalk. It then joins a causeway path on Highway 174 to Edisto Beach, reminiscent of the causeway on Ben Sawyer Boulevard to Sullivan's Island, and the entire journey is less than a mile.
The shoreline on Edisto Beach is deep with shells, and people are sorting through them, as well as swimming and fishing in the surf. We do our own exploring and shelling for a while before hopping back on the bikes. Down Jungle Road, the SeaCOW Eatery is packed with a breakfast crowd, and we pedal on the backside of the island, passing houses and the seafood shops on Docksite Road.
That afternoon we go for beers and shrimp at Dockside Bar & Grill, which has a vibe similar to the decks and docks of Bowens Island. We pass Whaley's Restaurant and Bar, another favorite watering hole and a fixture here since 1948. At beach access paths that have just three or four car parking spaces, we never have to worry about finding a spot. That's one of the best parts of cycling. And because we have the RV, when we drive out from Edisto the next morning, we can easily stop to shop the bins of vegetables, local honey, and pies at King's Farm Market and buy a few essentials—a bag of boiled peanuts, ears of sweet corn on the cob, and a heavy container of homemade banana pudding complete with cookies, banana chunks, and real whipped cream.
Our next destination, Hunting Island State Park, is just across the St. Helena Sound. (We could practically see the park in the distance when we walked along the southwestern end of Edisto Beach and found the shell of a giant horseshoe crab.) But since it's about 80 road miles away, we take the RV.
On the drive along Highway 21, we pull into the Gay Fish Company on St. Helena Island to buy some crab cakes and fresh shrimp. The owners of the old-school shrimp boat docks and seafood store claim to have created the recipe for Frogmore Stew decades ago—the woman at the counter makes sure we leave with a printed copy.
In a few more miles, I can't believe our luck when I see our campsite at the state park. Online, I'd booked a beachfront spot, but this one looks to be the best of the 200 or so available, at the very edge of where the maritime forest meets the beach. Not even a sand fence or high dunes are between us and the ocean—and it must be less than a football field's length to the waterline. Looking at the Atlantic, I think about how since we're sleeping in the "loft" of the camper above the truck's cab, we'll be able to watch individual waves rolling in at high tide. We're that close.
But first, we get back on the bikes. There are at least 10 miles of cycling trails and roads within the park. One narrow trail lined with palmettos, pine trees, and cabbage palms is surprisingly hilly and challenging to be so near the flat beach. It's definitely mountain-bike worthy. We try to power through some puddles in low-lying sections and end up with our spokes deep in mud, which is all good fun, except when the mosquitoes catch up to us. (Don't make my mistake and forget the insect repellent back at the campsite.)
On the dry sections, we're pedaling mostly on a thick floor of pine needles. Eventually, we end up at the Hunting Island lighthouse, which is open several hours a day for climbs to the top. I've gone up for the terrific view on previous trips, but this time we keep riding out onto the boneyard beach of sun-bleached, wave-washed tree trunks that are partly covered and then uncovered again with each tide. It's noisy with the windy rush of waves, but while I dodge the seawater approaching my tires, I think about how among these "bones," the sea islands can be the most peaceful places, especially at sunset.
Back at the campground, we use the RV's tiny kitchen to cook up an oceanside dinner of steamed shrimp, corn, and sweet onions seasoned with Old Bay, plus a side of crab cakes. (We don't have sausage or potatoes on hand to make Gay's Frogmore Stew.) Our bikes are leaned up against the rear of the camper by now, and I sit down for the meal at our site's picnic table with my bare feet in the sand. The wind is picking up, and at dusk, we take Sparky for a walk on the beach under the silver-faced full moon. This is good living.
Early the next morning, we go for one last ride. Not far from the campground entrance on Highway 21, we come to a pond edged by trees decorated in white-feathered herons and egrets. Near the marsh, it must be where the birds take shelter after fishing. Thick bushes obscure much of the rookery activity from the road, so I push aside a few branches and from my bike seat I watch the long-legged birds for a while. I'm quiet and still, and I'm not certain the wild flock notices me. That's good. The birds have found their place in the salt air of these sea islands, and this week I have, too.

This is Not My Life by Diane Schoemperlen
Subtitled "a memoir of love, prison, and other complications" award-winning author Diane Schoemperlen has penned a powerful and very personal account of the adversities of maintaining a relationship with a convicted murderer for almost six years.
This is Not My Life is full of various personal and private conflicts, laughs and tears, moments of bliss and times of daunting reality.
The Meet
Historic Kingston, Ontario is a beautiful university city located where the St. Lawrence River meets Lake Ontario. It is also the home to a number of federal correctional institutions that run the spectrum from maximum to minimum security. At the time her story begins, "Shane" (most names have been changed) has served thirty years of a life sentence for second-degree murder. He is out on an ETA (escorted temporary absence) and is working in the St. Vincent de Paul's free hot meal program one day a week. Diane (the author) a fiftyish single mother is volunteering there three days a week. Blissfully ignorant of the meaning of the teardrop tattoo under his eye, but knowing that he is serving time for some type of crime, a budding relationship begins with the handsome, attentive prisoner:
Quick-witted, intelligent, and flirtatious, with an outrageous and facetious sense of humour, he could always make me laugh.
Then as the hot meal program was closing down for the summer, Shane asks Diane if he could keep in touch by writing her a letter:
I said, "Sure, why not?" and gave him my address.
Why not, indeed?
It was only after I got home that I wondered if it was a good idea.
The following Friday I received a letter in the morning mail. Two handwritten pages in which Shane made it clear that he was hoping for a romance, that I was, in fact, the woman of his dreams.
The Next Six Years
For the next six years, Diane takes the reader along as she and Shane navigate not only the intricacies of the Canadian correctional system but the difficulties and complexities of maintaining a loving and supportive relationship with an incarcerated person. For every step forward, there are two or more steps back. Shane does eventually get paroled back into society, and Diane who is used to living alone, now finds it difficult to share her life with a man, let alone a federal offender and all the psychological baggage he brings into the relationship. Eventually, this takes a toll on both of them and the downward spiral of their love and their on-again/off again romance is well documented in the narrative.
A Learning Experience
This is Not My Life teaches much about how laws and federal institutions operate in Canada. For example, there is no time off for good behaviour; that is an American thing. The differences between first and second-degree murder. How a parole hearing works; who is allowed to go, who is allowed to speak. The levels of security one must pass through (ion scanners, dogs, searches) to enter one of the institutions and how it differs from a minimum-security institution like Frontenac to a medium-security one like Bath. This is as much as a learning experience for Diane as it is for the majority of us who are unfamiliar with such things. All of this occurs as she tries to maintain her quiet, comfortable life, supporting herself as a writer, which is not an easy thing to do at the best of times.
One reviewer called it a "morbid curiosity" that caused them to keep reading, but what captivated my attention the most was discovering (along with Diane) how inmates, particularly "lifers" like Shane eventually become institutionalized, that is they are so used to having things done for them, being told when to eat, when to sleep, etc. that they have a hard time adjusting to the "outside" where such things are not so regulated, if at all. Basically, they have been treated like infants and due to this have no coping skills to rely on once they are released, even into halfway houses. Diane's battles with Correction Services Canada, with Shane, with her friends (some supportive, many disapprove) take their toll on her, one close friend even suggesting she may be suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). To use Diane's analogy from the book, life with Shane is like a runaway train that is quickly running out of track, doomed to crash in a fireball. (See the 1986 movie "Tough Guys").
This is Not My Life is one of the best books I have read this year. It was one of those books that you begrudgingly put down (sleep, life and work must go on!) and couldn't wait to pick it up again. Ms Schoemperlen could have created a masterful work of fiction out of her experience, but she chose to candidly write this as a memoir and it is due to this choice that the book's emotional impact really comes to the fore. I had to keep reminding myself that what I was holding was not a novel, but a true story!
I'm sure that this book will be shortlisted and win numerous awards. It will definitely appeal to anyone who has ever been in a relationship that turned toxic, as well as those inquisitive about life behind those cement walls and chain link fences of a federal institution. This is Not My Life is full of various personal and private conflicts, laughs and tears, moments of bliss and times of daunting reality. Highly recommended.

Knitting is an art we love. This is a technique to entangle the strands in a specific way so that a cloth is created with a unique texture and elasticity, thus differing from other tissues. This technique can be done manually, or even with machines that facilitate the work. Manual work is to interweave the strands using two needles, which, moreover, harbor the knitting fabric have woven. Some use it as a hobby, others as therapy and many use as a profession even though it is very difficult. Considering this difficulty to bring the Knitting as a profession we are posting more and more tips on the subject to help and encourage the most of our craftsmen friends. The point is to make your brain and body to engage in a simple and repetitive task. So you feel more calm and under control. And certainly the Knitting keeps your mind working, well away from bad thoughts, beyond the satisfaction of creating something that is a unique feeling and makes you very happy and proud of the work. And it does not serve only to people of the Golden Age, today men and women from different age groups are devoted to knitting. Not raise the flag label our craftsmen!

Thank you very much for the fast delivery of my books. They were exactly in the condition you described and one of the volumes contained a very interesting dinner invitation and menu. Thank you very much, as well, for cost-effectively sending parcel via normal US Post.
C. Wallace
Many thanks for your prompt reply informing me that the book is now set aside for the library. It's great that you are willing and able to send an invoice with the book -- it makes life a little easier when you work for a very large institution! Thanks again.


It's the weekend. I tend to do a lot of thinking on the weekend. So I had a thought. I really want to spend some time and talk about how I see a round of Human Resources playing out. How do the factions differ? How does the economy work? How does the terrain play into things? That sort of stuff.
My question to you is, how do you want this information?
1. I could do a walk-through style video where I talk over the trailer and explain the scenes and how I see the game playing.
2. I could write up a story of a game that you could read. Like a description of a cast of the game.
3. I could just sit back and watch all the speculation happen and point out when people are getting warm.
Discuss in our comments! I'd love to hear how people would like this information conveyed and then I'll work on it next week.
Thanks for your support! Don't forget to tell your friends about us.
Aaron Gigley, Mark Tombling, and 40 more people like this update.
We went with #1 for now. Might do more later. We'll see what the feedback says from the video.
Video posted in our latest update!
An explanation next to the trailer would be great! I Really like the "Mother"-Ship in the end. It would be really cool, when such "A-Bomb"-weapons would make it in the game! Please stick to the design! Its great!
And if you have a little time and manpower left: Little animated episodes about the backgroundstory would be great!
Thanks for all your feedback. We're working on it and will post it sometime 'sooooon'.
Or simply screenshots from the trailer, rather than illustrations.
I vote #2, for sure. It'd be great to just get a sample transcript of a game to get a feel for the gameplay.
It depends whether you're open to suggestion and input from the community; if you already know 100% how everything hangs together then 1 or 2, but if there is any room in your mind for improvement then you should open the floor to the backers - we may suggest something which you'd not considered before, or there may be an over whelming desire for something you'd thought wasn't important.
#1, but you're drawing pictures on a peace of paper.
Video. Maybe not necessarily the trailer per se, but even just whiteboard sketches with talking might be interesting.
1 Sounds Great. You guys should talk to some YouTubers to get coverage for the game and get more attention. ScrewAttack comes to mind.
I'd personally avoid 3 if possible, if speculation goes too wide then it can result in expectations forming - and whilst this will inevitably happen anyway having something pseudoconcrete to refer to can help keep peoples expectations grounded closer to Uber's intentions.
Personally I'd like 1 to begin with, the video is something that was produced to convey Uber's intent, and having a more detailed explanation of that intent with reference to the video would be ideal.
#3 speculating all the way : human ressources has great potential really, specially when picking up those robot VS monsters fantasies: I totally see those faction using humans in various horrible ways from simple snacks ( it's a cookbook! ) to slavery, battery ( Matrix) , brains for summoning power ( worshipers ) and so on, not just ...you know simple ressource like logs or gold... that would be a waste! in the same way, different buildings could shelter different type of humans: fastfood buildings have more calories packed humans, downtown office more brain juice, factories better suited working slaves, so you might have different priorities depending on your side, or objectives to weaken your ennemies... Am I getting warm now?
Also, put a save option because I have gone into games that lasted hours and we had to make draws because we couldn't play any longer.
Number 1 would be the best for me since I love seeing the graphic design of your games. Simple but brilliant!
OK, let´s just do #2, that´s the easiest way!
I am definitely in favour of number 1.
#1 would be the best way to get the general idea of it across, and then somepoint in the future #2 would also be fantastic.
#4. Properly address the reality of the Kickstarter Planet Annihilation release post-mortem and why this Kickstarter will be different. I can't even Save or Load a game in Planet Annihilation for crying out loud!
I vote #1 as well.
Number one would be the most informative.
There is nothing wrong with my imagination and in text form the game can have a lot of features without wasting a lot of time to hack up demo scenes and fake screenshots.
I prefer No 2. Although videos are nice, at this stage I prefer a little more abstract. A video will probably influence our thinking about the game, whereas a written story will allow us to use our creative thinking and imagination.
I was thinking, you could do #1, except with some flexible drawing program or something on the side, where you could loosely draw out how a game works.
Also, great idea in general, the displaying how a game plays. TBH, I thought of this too, and I thought fighting over the Human Resources you are likely to fight all over the place both trying to get the same resources and impede other resources. So in a way, it will probably be tiberium collection with flair. When discussing it with a friend, it made sense to me the end result of maps will probably resemble moba style map patterns with lanes and/or webs of lanes.
A video would be great. It would also be the easiest thing for us to share with our friends who don't know about this project yet.
I would love to see it in the first option!

Illinois Hall of Fame: Siskel & Ebert
By Mark Rhoads
Roger Ebert, at left, and Gene Siskel, at right, are shown in this Chicago Tribune file photo from Feb. 1, 1995 when they were honored at a ceremony at the corner of Erie Street and McClurg Court. On that day the city put up a Chicago street sign that says "Honorary Siskel and Ebert Way." For 23 seasons these two native Illinoisans hosted a new genre of journalistic film criticism on a show that at one time reached 95 percent of all homes with TV sets in America. They helped to invent the new format for Chicago Public Television WTTW in 1975 and the program went national on PBS in 1978. It later went into commercial syndication under a different name. Both writers are profiled in brief below.
Pulitzer Prize-winning and Emmy-nominated columnist Roger Ebert is the first film critic to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was born in Urbana, Illinois on June 18, 1942 and grew up there. He was co-editor of his high school newspaper, The Echo, and a high school sports stringer for The Champaign News Gazette. In 1958, when Roger was 16, he won the Illinois High School Association state championship speech competition in Radio Speaking. He graduated from Urbana High School in 1960 and attended the University of Illinois where he was editor of The Daily Illini. Roger graduated from the University of Illinois in 1964 and won a Rotary International scholarship to study at the University of Capetown. He was a doctoral student in English at the University of Chicago when he went to work for The Chicago Sun-Times as a film critic in 1967. Roger is still writing movie reviews at the present time including a recent review on The Queen. But he has been out of print and off TV for many months in 2006 while he has been recovering from surgery. He says he hopes to be back on TV early in 2007.
Gene Siskel was born in Chicago on Jan. 26, 1946. His parents, Nathan and Ida Kalis Siskel, both died when Gene was less than a year old. Gene was raised in Glencoe by his aunt and uncle, Joseph and Mae Gray. Gene attended public schools in Glencoe and became an early fan of movies. He attended the Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana for his high school years and graduated from Yale University in 1967 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy. He served active duty with the U.S. Army Reserves at the U.S. Department of Defense Information School where he learned basic journalism by writing news releases. He was hired by The Chicago Tribune in January 1969 as a neighborhood news reporter. But much like Roger Ebert two years before at The Chicago Sun-Times, Siskel also found an opportunity to apply for a vacancy before the year was out and started working as a movie reviewer for The Chicago Tribune.
In 1974 and 1975, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were teamed up on a new TV show for WTTW Channel 11 called Opening Soon at a Theater Near You. Gene had some prior TV experience doing reviews for WBBM-TV Channel 2. The Channel 11 show was renamed as Sneak Previews and went national on PBS in 1978. The format and tension between film critics from rival newspapers in Chicago was interesting TV that quickly went on 198 PBS affiliates and became the top entertainment show in the country. Siskel and Ebert left PBS in 1981 for commercial syndication at first with Tribune Entertainment, parent company of The Chicago Tribune at that time. Siskel had a temprorary break with Tribune editor Jim Squires when he and Ebert moved their show to management and distribution by Disney's Buena Vista Television a few years later.
At the height of the show's popularity, then named Siskel and Ebert, the potential audience was 95 percent of all TV homes in America. In 1980, Gene Siskel married Marlene Iglitzen who was a former producer of the 5 PM WBBM-TV newscast. Siskel met and became acquainted with her when he often appeared on that program. The Siskels had three children, Kate, Cali, and Will and lived north of Lincoln Park. Gene Siskel died on Feb. 20, 1999 after a battle with cancer. He is a member of the Broadcaster's Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame in 1997 before his death. From 1972 until his death in 1999, Gene served on the advisory board of the Film School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The school at 164 N. State Street was officially renamed the Gene Siskel Film School in Gene's honor in 2001.
Roger Ebert dated Oprah Winfrey at one time and encouraged her to take her show into syndication. He married trial attorney Chaz Hammelsmith in 1983 and has a step daughter and step grandchildren. He continued the film criticism TV show with fellow Chicago Sun-Times movie critic Richard Roeper with a show called Ebert and Roeper. The show still has many fans but some believe it lacks some of the former tension that came from critics who worked for competing newspapers. In many film reviews and in other public activities and articles, Ebert has displayed his strong preference for liberal political ideas and for the Democratic Party in general, but not always. He praised Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ and has also given high marks and a trademark "thumbs up" to other films with conservative social values and old-fashioned moral themes in movies for children. Since 1999, Roger annually has hosted "Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival" in Champaign. Roger has bravely battled with cancer since 2002 and has recently said that he hopes to return to a full-time TV and review schedule early in 2007. His fans and friends of course wish him well.
One footnote: Roger Ebert has often been a critic of the film rating system of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) which he feels is arbitrary and does not provide enough information that parents really want to guide their children. From 1984 to 1988, I was a visiting member of the editorial board at The Chicago Sun-Times. One summer day in 1984, I was researching an editorial on the topic of the MPAA system titled "Put more G in PG." My editor suggested I talk to Ebert on background which made sense even though the editorial page normally had little contact with the news pages or with nonpolitical columnists.
I walked down the hall to see Ebert and he briefed me on the general topic as we walked to his ATM at The Wrigley Building from the now demolished Sun-Times Building. Based on my talk with Ebert, I wrote in my editorial that the MPAA should create a new category called PG-12 for children under 12. A week or so later, the MPAA announced a new rating of PG-13. The comical part was I then heard a reliable rumor that it might have been age 12 but for my editorial since the MPAA directors did not want to be seen as following the exact suggestion of "Ebert's newspaper." Although that was not the first time we met, it was the only time on newspaper business. I appreciated very much his kindness and time for me as a rookie editorial writer and I add my personal hope to those of his many fans for his full recovery.

SGO48 to cancel 2nd generation audition as fans fears of disbandment
YAG or SGO48 management sent an e-mail to all SGO48 2nd Generation audition applicants regarding the cancellation of the entire 2nd gen audition series.
This is due to the pandemic which limits all SGO48 activities and the lack of income for the group.
Last April, SGO48 had planned the selection of 2nd Generation members and senbatsu for the 4th single.
But unfortunately, in June they stopped all activities due to the pandemic.
Even so, they still run digital content so that fans can enjoy SGO48 content.
Many fans were disappointed that the management made a promise but broke it because the management made a profit from selling CDs and votes for auditions but canceled it.
This cancellation of the audition, lack of any action on original song "ABCDEF" and the absence of SGO48's participation in the AKB48 Group Pokemon tournament made SGO48 rumored to be on the brink of the Disbandment.
SGO48 to officially disbanded. The group ends their journey on December 22nd. Members and management apologized to the fans and provided an explanation through official Facebook post on what happened.
All of SGO48 members will be declared graduated.

Volleyball ranked high in state
By Eleanor Mafi
The Mustangs volleyball team is a group of young players ranked 5th in State and 2nd in Northern California, according to the California Community College Athletic Association.
OUT OF THE GATES ROCKING: The Mustang's volleyball team came out swinging in the team's first game of the season against Chabot College, beating Chabot all three matches. PHOTO BY ELEANOR MAFI
"It is exciting but a lot of pressure. Last year we did not make the post season play and this year we have a talented group in.
The girls have worked hard they fully deserve to be ranked where they are, we have to keep getting better everyday," said Head Coach Molly Mordaunt.
On Sept. 18, the team played its first game of the season here against Chabot College.
Outside Hitter Lauren Kissel had 23 kills in the game.
The Mustangs beat Chabot in all three matches.
It is still early in the season for the Mustangs but so far they have only lost three games.
"I feel like overall we still have a lot to work on as a team. I feel like we can do a much better job communicating with each other on the court and once we get that down we will be unstoppable. We are a young team, and none of us have played together which gives us more room to grow," said outside hitter, Jackaul Ahloo.
Opposite/libero Kamea Chock said endurance running and weight lifting help her be a stronger player.
"Practice-wise I pick out what my weaknesses are and really focus on that. I try to get in the most repetition for that, for example, I feel like I am a weak hitter so I work on getting in as much quality hitting reps/swings as I can in efforts to improve," Chock said.
With so much talent on this year's team, Mordaunt is basing her starting lineup on stats.
The Mustangs will play against American River College at home at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 2.
Joelise Bond, a freshman formally from Tracy's West High School, said she already has game-day rituals.
"I like to jam out to some inspiring music before I warm-up, and I pray for all my body part to be protected when I play. I also make sure I do not eat thirty minutes before a game. it is sort of a good luck ritual," said Bond.

Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Cellaigh, 40th King of Uí Maine and 7th Chief of the Name, died 1180.

Origins
Conchobar Maenmaige is agreed in all sources to have been king for forty years, so it appears he succeeded Tadhg Ua Cellaigh sometime after his abduction by an army from Munster in 1145. His succession meant the end of Síol Anmchadha's brief independence and overlordship of Uí Maine, and its dynasty would henceforth be confined to their own homeland.

Conchobar is stated in all the genealogies as being the son of Diarmaid, whose immediate descent is uncertain but is given as the son or grandson of Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaigh, who was killed at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. However, it may actually mean that he was the son or grandson of the Tadhg who was abducted in 1145.

Eccleiastical work
John O'Donovan says of him that "he built O'Kelly's Church at Clonmacnoise, in the year 1167 … and is stated in some of the pedigrees to have built twelve churches in the territory of Moenmoy Máenmaige." His epithet probably refers to his being fostered, or at least raised, in the area, which is centered on Loughrea.

References in the Annals
Conchobar and Uí Maine are mentioned infrequently in the annals, reflecting the kingdom's subordinate status within the kingdom of Connacht. Some references include the following:

1145:The men of Munster proceeded with an army into Connaught; and they carried off Ua Ceallaigh, i.e. Tadhg, son of Conchobhar, lord of Ui-Maine, and slew Ruaidhri Ua Flaithbheartaigh.

1147:The battle of Ath-luain was gained over Domhnall, the son of Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair, and the Ua-Maine, by the men of Teathbha, where the grandson of Amhalghaidh Ua Flainn and others were slain.

1155:Magh-Finn was preyed by the men of Teathbha, who plundered some of the Ui-Maine.

1163:A royal heir's feasting visitation was made by Niall, son of Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn, the son of the King of Ireland … He afterwards proceeded across Ath-Luain, into Connaught, with a force of twelve score men; and they feasted upon the Ui-Maine, but they were all killed by Conchobhar Ua Ceallaigh, Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Conchobair, and the Ui-Maine, through treachery and guile, except some deserters and fugitives; and Niall, son of Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn, was taken prisoner, and conducted in safety to his house, by advice of their meeting.

1167:A church was erected at Cluain-mic-Nois, in the place of the Dearthach, by Conchobhar Ua Ceallaigh and the Ui-Maine.

1170:A great fleet was brought upon the Sinainn, by Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair, to plunder Munster. A predatory incursion was made by the Ui-Maine into Ormond, and a predatory incursion was made by the people of West Connaught into Thomond. They the Ui-Maine plundered Ormond on this occasion, and destroyed the wooden bridge of Cill-Dalua.

The Battle of the Conors
A decline in the power of Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair initiated civil unrest in Connacht, from about 1177. The Uí Maine appeared to take advantage of this, which cumulated in the Battle of the Conors, which took place at an unknown location, possibly within Máenmaige, sometime in 1180.

The victor was King Ruaidrí son, Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Conchobair, who had a palace at Dún Ló (Ballinasloe). The Four Masters relate that Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Cellaigh was killed, along with "his son Teige (Teige Tailtenn Ua Cellaigh); his brother Dermot; Melaghlin, the son of Dermot O'Kelly; and Teige, the son of Teige O'Conor.

Descendants
Future kings of Ui Maine descended from Conchobar included:

Domnall Mór Ua Cellaigh, died 1121
Conchobar Ó Cellaigh, died 1268
Donnchad Muimnech Ó Cellaigh, died 1307
Gilbert Ó Cellaigh, died 1322
Tadhg Ó Cellaigh, died 1316
Tadgh Óg Ó Cellaigh, died 1340
Tadgh Ruadh Ó Cellaigh, died 1410

Many European scientists cheered back in January when it seemed the court of the European Union would ease its restrictions on gene-editing technology in food. In a 15,000-word opinion, an advisor to the European Court of Justice suggested that gene-edited crops should not face the same stiff regulations as genetically modified organisms—as long as they don't contain foreign DNA. The opinion was thought to be a step forward for European academic scientists who are trying to improve plant growth, resistance, and nutrition in everything from corn to grapes. But today, the full court put that opinion aside to rule that Crispr gene editing should face the same tough rules as GMOs.
The Luxembourg-based court ruled that crops created using Crispr and other gene-editing techniques are subject to a 2001 rule that imposes big hurdles for GM foods. The law exempts mutagenesis techniques such as irradiation, which changes an organism's DNA but doesn't add anything new. But it will apply to Crispr and other gene-editing techniques that use a form of molecular scissors to cut out bits of genetic material from the genome.
Despite studies by European, British, and UN health agencies about the safety of genetically modified foods, European consumers have long opposed them, arguing that they benefit multinational corporations and harm the environment. US regulators say gene-edited crops don't pose a problem because they are identical to ones developed through traditional cross-breeding techniques. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture regulate biotech crops. Gene-edited soybeans, flax, wheat, and other crops are preparing to enter the US market in the next year or two.
But today's European ruling may have bigger consequences in Africa, which is just beginning to see Crispr deployed to speed up plant breeding improvements.
Nigel Taylor, an investigator at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, runs cassava breeding projects in Kenya and Uganda. He's using Crispr to eliminate genes that cause the cassava brown streak disease, which can wipe out entire fields of the staple plant. He had just stepped off a plane from Kenya when he saw the news about the ruling.
The EU is Africa's largest single trading partner, receiving nearly $16 billion in agriculture and food imports in 2017 from Africa, according to the European Commission. That means African farmers hoping to sell to European markets might not be able to take advantage of gene-editing improvements.
Bode Okoloku grew up in Nigeria and is now an assistant professor of plant science at the University of Tennessee. He is researching the genetics of African sweet potato and corn varieties and works with breeders throughout the continent. "I think it might be the fear of the unknown that is driving the recent law," he says.
Crispr gene editing techniques are easier, faster and don't require as much lab equipment as traditional GMOs, according to Okoloku. That's why he and other scientists believe Crispr could be used by African plant scientists to create new plant strains needed in each country. "Using Crispr is more promising than developing traditional GMOs," he says.

Danish Government agrees troop plan for Afghanistan
Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox has welcomed the announcement by the Danish Government of an agreed way forward for its troop contribution in Afghanistan over the next two years.
The Danish Parliament has agreed the 'Helmand Plan 2011' which involves a gradual shift in military efforts from combat to training with a focus on developing the Afghan National Security Forces.
The UK Ministry of Defence has been working closely in past weeks with its Danish counterparts in the run up to this announcement and welcomes the prospect of an enduring Danish military commitment to the ISAF campaign into 2014 and beyond.
There are 750 Danish troops in Helmand and they have been working alongside UK troops since 2006.
Dr Fox said:
On behalf of the British Government, I welcome the publication of the Danish Helmand Plan 2011. The Danes have been fantastic NATO partners and an indispensible ally of the UK in Afghanistan.
I am delighted by the commitment made to a continued Danish presence in Afghanistan, alongside the UK and other allies, until the end of 2014, and in a training role thereafter.
Denmark is an example to all of our NATO partners and should be congratulated for taking such an important step towards achieving the goals set out at the Lisbon Summit.
The plan sets out the Danish commitment to a continued presence of trainers and enablers after 2014 and the retention of at least a mechanised infantry company and the tank troop until the end of 2014.
The agreement also makes a commitment to maintain current force levels until August 2011 when 30 troops will be withdrawn. This reduction will not affect front line operations in Helmand.

Help reopen Camley Street Natural Park
Camley Street Natural Park is one of the wonders of central London - several acres of wildlife habitat in Zone 1, a literal stone's throw from the King's Cross Development. Here Amy Warner of the London Wildlife Trust explains why the site needs our help to reopen - and just how you can provide funds.
Kings Cross was once filled with black dust as it was the main area where coal from the North was offloaded and distributed across London on the canal system and by horse-drawn cart. There was a large coal drop along Camley Street right where Camley Street Natural Park now stands. As the use of coal decreased across London, the area stayed an industrial neighbourhood with a bad reputation. In the early 1980-90s some areas of King's Cross were no-go areas at night; the area was well known for prostitution and the tow path along the Regents Canal was a hive of antisocial behaviour.
In 1982 the park was just a wasteland which the council wanted to convert it into a lorry park, but a joint effort between the local residents, the London Assembly and London Wildlife Trust saved it and in 1983 it was converted into a natural park which was free for local communities to access. Ever since then Camley Street Natural Park has been the emerald jewel in the crown of King's Cross. It is now a thriving nature reserve and centre of education, visited by thousands of people each year.
Camley Street needs the community to work with us once again. The reserve was closed in 2017 as the visitor centre was in dire need of repairs, costing more each year to fix its problems. Now, London Wildlife Trust have launched a crowdfunder to ask the public to help raise £30,000 in order to complete the building work on a brand new learning centre, including a café and volunteers room.
The new centre will allow us to continue to deliver the family and school education programmes that the park has become well known for. With wildlife always our priority, the new building has been designed sustainably, needing less electricity than before, and the roof will provide a roosting area for bats and birds. The new outdoor learning area will ensure that higher visitor numbers will not impact the more wildlife sensitive areas on the other side of the park.
Camley Street Natural Park has been a special part of Camden for decades. It is free to visit for all, and London Wildlife Trust want to ensure that it stays that way for many years to come.
Visit the Help Reopen Camley Street Natural Park crowdfunder on Spacehive to make a pledge and help London Wildlife Trust reach their goal by October 31st - as this is an "all or nothing" crowdfunder, they will only receive their pledges if they hit their goal, so time is of the essence!
Those who pledge over £100 to the cause have the opportunity to dedicate a special personalised wildlife plaque on the supporters wall of the new building – find out more here.
