Discerning the early stages of the rebirth of a new Russian empire from the ashes of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Putin and Russia's Imperial Revival argues that Russia's recent overtly aggressive actions and foreign policy doctrines have signaled a renewal of the Cold War. At the least, Russia's actions represent the potential for renewal. This book explains these developments in a historical context. The book begins by describing Russia's initial policy of rapprochement after the collapse of the Soviet Union and its development into a foreign policy of threatened or actual armed aggression. It identifies today's Russia as a nation determined to re-establish itself as a political and military force. As a prominent figure in the development and continuation of its current foreign policy, Vladimir Putin plays a central role in the topics covered. Previous literature often treats Putin as an individual phenomenon examining his connections to corruption or the secret police, but here David E. McNabb examines him as the latest in a long history of Russian despots who followed similar expansionist policies. He details some of the tactics Putin uses to instill fear and dominate political policies of republics newly independent from Russia. These tactics include the use of energy as a weapon, cyber terrorism, and military support for ethnic Russian separatists in other sovereign nations, most recently exemplified by Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine via armed invasion. In an attempt to demystify Russia's re-emergence as an international political force, Vladimir Putin and Russia's Imperial Revival grounds its analyses in history. It explores as far back as the establishment of the first Russian empire, and regards Putin as a leader determined to establish a fifth imperial incarnation. It provides a nuanced understanding of how Russia arrived at its current position through recent and distant internal and international events.

Women's History Month – Love, War, & Death
March 2, 2020 by Jennifer Holik Leave a Comment
I'm often asked, why did I start researching and writing about World War II? My business began 10 years ago in genealogy. That was my dream and focus. About 20 years ago I started researching my family's history and my uncle told me about a cousin, Robert Brouk, who was one of the original AVG Flying Tigers. At the time, that meant nothing to me because I didn't know about the Flying Tigers or much about WWII. Then I started researching……..
Robert flew in the 3rd Squadron with the Flying Tigers and when they were disbanded in July 1942, he returned to Chicago. A month later he met Ginny Scharer and the two fell in love. Robert was ordered to report to Orlando, FL to train pilots in October 1942 and not wanting to be apart from Ginny, he proposed. The two were married late November 1942.
Three weeks later, Ginny watched Robert die in a plane crash in Orlando while training pilots. At 20 years old, she was a widow. No one in the family knew what happened to her after that. Robert's parents and brother were dead and the story, it seemed, died too. My uncle, in 1996, was retiring from work and decided to investigate Robert's life. He spent hours searching through old microfilm newspapers in Cicero and Berwyn, IL looking for stories on Robert. He came up with stacks of papers. Robert was Cicero's Home Town Hero because he had fought the Japanese around the time of Pearl Harbor. His story and appearances in the Chicagoland area were written up in newspapers across Cook County, for months!
For my part, I started investigating the Flying Tigers. I contacted their reunion association and posted a message in 1996 on the Flying Tiger message boards. Nine years later in December 2005, Robert's widow's grandson saw my post. Ginny was still alive and had Robert's AVG war diary, photos of his service, and some things he brought back from Asia.
Ginny and I exchanged many hand written letters and she sent me his war diary. She had also lost her second husband and had been hand writing giant volumes of her family's history. To this written history she added photos, documents, newspaper clippings, and other items. She sent me copies of the pages that told the love story of her and Bob.

I sat on Robert's war diary until 2010 when I started my business and decided, as a bucket list thing, I'd write a book. Robert died so soon after the Tigers were disbanded that he's barely mentioned in any other books. His memory had to be preserved.
Once I wrote his story, all my other relatives who died in WWI and WWII showed up and said, 'if you write his story you have to write ours.' That began the start of my writing career and also my journey into the world of WWII research.
So what happened to Ginny after Robert's death? A few months later, the minute she turned 21, she joined the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, which later in 1943 became the Women's Army Corps (WAC). She ended up overseas in Egypt where she met her second husband Harvey. What a story they have! Harvey had a brother, Fred, who was a co-pilot on a bomber that went down 2 November 1943 in Austria. He now rests in Lorraine Cemetery.
When I wrote Ginny's story, The Tiger's Widow, it was meant to be a biography. However, after my editor went through it and returned it, I let the book sit for several months while I finished writing Stories of the Lost. When I returned to Ginny's book, it took me four days, a box of tissues, and allowing my heart and soul to crack open, heal, and pour love out into the book. I cried most of those four days I edited and rewrote her story. The book didn't want to be a biography, but a love story, and Fred and I were to be added as characters.
You never know, when you start a new project, book, or genealogy search, exactly where it will lead. I have learned with each new WWII project I start, book I begin to research, program I write, or client I speak with about their family member's service, there are always lessons to learn. There is often a tremendous amount of love for the soldier. And there are many unanswered questions that the research or project help to answer, which brings immense healing to the client, myself, and all those living or dead attached to what I'm working on.
We are all connected in this universe through love.
I'd like to share with you some of that connection with the first chapter of Ginny's story.
Five Hearts Joined Together
Love knows no boundaries of time and space or life and death. It exists forever in our hearts as we remember and honor those who have gone before us. Through those memories we pass life lessons on to the next generation. We teach others there is light after darkness, hope after despair, and love is the glue that puts shattered hearts back together. This is a story of five hearts separated by time and space; hearts which would meet in the perfect moment. It is a story about never ending love that lived on even after death.
A famous pilot met a young beauty and the two fell in love, Robert and Ginny. Their love soared with the eagles. Their time together was brief but they lived so fully in love in the moment, it is as if nothing but death could have broken them apart. Then death knocked on their door and a plane fell from the sky in a fiery ball. One heart silenced on earth but lived forever in death. One heart shattered into a million pieces.
A year later on another continent, two brothers fought a war, Harvey and Fred. The boys grew up as orphans and wanted a heart to come home to. Fred flew a bombing mission over Austria and was lost, listed as missing for a year. Harvey feared the worst and waited for word which came a year after Fred went missing. A brother's love lived on after death.
Less than a year after Fred went missing, Ginny found Harvey. A chance meeting and two hearts became one. Pieces of Ginny's shattered heart started to glue back together, slowly at first and then more quickly. Harvey's heart had finally found its home with Ginny. He was no longer an orphan or alone. They found each other during a time of war when the world around them collapsed in chaos. Together they created a new world filled with joy, love, and the memories of those lost before their time.
Almost 65 years later, another heart emerged. A young woman trying to start a new life after her heart was shattered. She and Ginny, now a widow for the second time, connected. Little did they know the impact that meeting would have.
Five hearts separated by time and space that met in perfect time, would change the lives of all they touched. Their love would span decades. Their life lessons would provide hope to others in the future.
Five hearts joined forever.

Q: How do I change my localhost application server from Apache httpd to the Tomcat that is built into ColdFusion 10? Backstory: A couple of years ago my group changed the server on which coldfusion runs to Apache instead of IIS. I changed my dev environment to run CF on Apache httpd and everything was fine. Later we changed the session variables to j2ee, but I have never been able to get j2ee to work on dev so I am still using regular session variables on dev. Lately I am getting session persistence failure on test but I can't reproduce on dev. In looking for differences in CF server settings between test and dev I discovered that test is running on Tomcat while dev is running on Apache httpd.
My problem real problem is how to get j2ee session vars to work on dev. My question right now is how do I change my server from Apache httpd to the Tomcat that is built in with CF 10? Is there a way to do this without starting over with a fresh install of CF 10 as those are the only instructions I can find?
System: Windows 7

A: IIS and Apache are not (for Coldfusion, anyway) application servers. They are your front-end web servers. Your 'application server' in this setup is the software running the "application" of Coldfusion via servlets, and that's Tomcat.
While it is possible to use CF's builtin Tomcat server as your front-end web server, it isn't advisable, and it's almost certainly got nothing to do with your problem. Apache is more than capable of doing what you need and a problem with J2EE session variables is going to be related either to your JVM (are you using more-or-less the same version as your production server?) or to Tomcat itself.
Think about how J2EE sessions work. A request comes in and hits your front-end server (httpd), which, presumabl through mod_proxy or mod_jk, hands that connection over to Tomcat. Until this happens, that your system is even running a JVM isn't relevant -- neither Apache nor IIS care about Java. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's impossible for an Apache problem to be monkeying with your session variables, but it would be pretty low on my list of suspects.
Once Tomcat (and then CF) get involved, then your JVM is doing all the work, so that's where I'd look. I'd also have a look at CF logs and Tomcat logs.
To properly answer your question, though, if you want to remove Apache from the loop, you're looking at Tomcat's server.xml and web.xml in /cfusion/runtime/conf - you'd need it running on port 80 (or else reconfigure Apache to just pass all requests to Tomcat instead of only CFML, but that doesn't really do what you asked about since Apache is still involved). You'd also have to reproduce your entire Apache configuration in Tomcat, which I've never done and wouldn't recommend, but that's the direction you'd need to investigate.
Much better to work on solving your session problem. Killing Apache is just collateral damage here.

Why name her "Ginevea" but call her "Ginny"? That annoys me.
This is the norm in Slavic languages.
I wanted to say, "Ginevra and Ginny" is like "Darya and Dasha" This happens for various reasons.

If you or someone you love is experiencing one or more of these signs and symptoms, call 911 immediately. It's important to seek treatment as quickly as possible, because getting treatment within 60 minutes can prevent disability.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. and also a significant cause of significant long-term disability in adults. More than half a million strokes are reported in the United States each year. However, the available, approved treatments for stroke can greatly reduce the damage.

I have a Pi 2 Model B (1GB) - Sony, UK, with a cheap Wifi dongle. I can start Wifi config (when connected to a physical network connection) and it finds networks, but when I disconnect the physical network and restart the pi-star with no known networks in range the Auto AP does not start.
I read on a website that Auto AP needs a Rpi3 or Zero, which would explain things. But that info does not appear elsewhere.

I read on a website that Auto AP needs a Rpi3 or Zero, which would explain things.
Adrian, info on websites can be incorrect, that's why I asked.
Depending on the brand of WiFi dongle and the chipset it uses, Access Point mode might not be supported. Hence, the on-board WiFi the RPi 3 and Pi Zero W have is recommended and supported.
AutoAP will work with some extra dongles, but far from all of them.
It depends greatly on the chipset; although we do occasionally run into chipsets that should work, but dont and we have to do some wrangling to make them fly.
If that comes back with a number greater than 0, your card *should* be supported.
Andy, it does come back with 1. I checked /proc/modules by hand and there is a module named r8188eu listed, but the grep command searches for 8188eu. Do I have a supported unit (so *8181eu is fine) or is this just something the grep command can't handle?
I assumed AutoAP does not start because the SSID did not became visible. How can I check if AutoAP *can* start? Can I force it to start when connected to a physical network connection?


Favorite winter hot spots for Alaskans to thaw out in the winter?
It's 40 and raining. Ice is going fast.
When I want to go someplace warm. I just have an afternoon sauna. Then I lose the urge to leave and go south for a while.
EVERY time I have gone to Hawaii or any stops at SEATAC i run into at least one person I know.

Its funny how things go, isnt it? One of the things you get with WordPress, is plenty of stats, and for me at least, they make interesting reading. Apart from the obvious home page one, do you know the post that simply stands out above all others for hits, even now, its the one about the real silver suit, designed for a robot wannabee robot like me! Possibly I guess, because if anyone types 'silver robot suit', or just 'robot suit' into Google, then I guess it must come reasonably high up the list?
Of course, the amusing thing is, that for all the hits it gets, not one offer of a suit has ever come my way from any designer, or a roboticist offering to change me so that I dont actually need a suit lol! I know, the odds on any designer actually reading this is less than say, the robot fetishists of this world, but you would have hoped for some crossover at least.
Interestingly, the brainwashing helmet piece also does quite well, though I'm not expecting to the same degree to get offered a chance to try one of them out for real as well lol! Surely a good roleplay version (with, or without electrodes) could be designed by someone, and at least try that out on me.
Any offers on any of the above? Probably not, but no harm in asking.
The video, well you could say this is apt. One thing is for sure, its not new, and equally sure, that woman in the video isnt me, I would only have been 14 or 15 at the time this was made.

Yes, I had a weird dream last night, or should I say this morning, given it was after I first woke up, about 6, and then went back to sleep again. The thing is, it was playing to my perversions. Well, the robot/brainwashing ones at least, though I guess the helmet could have transformed my mind into that of a twenties flapper, but I doubt that was the plan lol!
Dont ask me how I got there, I woke up (in the dream) laid out on a bed, with a helmet/cap (skintight, I should think) over my head. Basically I was told that this device was capable of disrupting brain thought processes, making me incapable of thinking for myself. It could then implant thoughts into my mind, and I would think they were my own. No, he didnt actually say he was turning me into a robot, but suspect the control levels would have been that level of intensity anyway.
Now, lets face it, at this point in time, most would scream, and try to escape, but I didnt. Has to be said, the look on his face suggested I"d confused him by that reaction as well. I didnt actually tell him to get on with it, but…you get my drift.
Only shame was that I woke up before the process began! I know, it wouldnt have been for real, but…would have been interesting to know what it felt like at least. For someone with a robot fetish as big as mine, you'd think this might be a regular occurence in my dreams, but you'd be wrong, this was just the second time I've had a dream like this. Many, many years ago now, I had a dream where I was about to be turned into a robot, the electricity had just begun pulsing through me, and the alarm clock went off! Now that was annoying lol!
Its not something I deny, that I'd love one day to play out a really intense robotisation, or brainwashing scene, but I guess as I get older, its less and less likely to happen. Mind, I could jokingly say that my back, and knees are heading towards the perfect amount of stiffness for a robot anyway! I've had one or two vague promises to do the idea (one mentioned on this blog a while back), but they came to nothing in the end. I still hope that one day it might, but beginning to doubt it now.
Ah, the video clip. I have no idea what film this is from, who the actors are, or anything, but suspect its pretty dated, its black and white after all. Sadly the sound only kicks in halfway through the clip, so I have no idea what he is saying to her. And to a certain degree, it ends just when it gets interesting. The brainwashing helmet looks basic, but still, I wouldnt mind giving it a try. I suspect something far more exciting could be designed anyway.
Any mad scientists out there want to give the idea a try? They wouldnt need to look far for a 'victim' thats for sure!
Its fair to say that the idea of posting on this matter came up because of talk about Lex's films on the Forum that I got involved in.
The subject was getting someone acting as a robot to really fulfil the part. Funnily enough, the look isnt the trickiest bit, though I suspect to get the really blank eyed look might require an eye drop or two? No, its the really complex stuff, and I should know it, of being able to talk, and walk like a robot, quite often both at the same time.
Yes, fine, you can do it for a short while without disturbance while keeping focussed, but I used to find the slightest disturbance would knock you out of rhythm, especially if you were trying to do both at the same time! Given hypnosis is generally supposed to be a light trance, would it make it easier (as in making you able to ignore disturbances) or harder (light trance being easy to drop out of, suppoosedly) to stay in a robot state of mind, and body of course, for the walking side of things?
I guess a deep trance could take away the problems, but that is supposed to take some time to reach, but I assume that if you could, then quite a developed robot state could be reached? But how much you can 'switch off' human thought capacity, I really dont know, could you take someone to a truly robotic state? How long could they safely be kept there if they could? I've never been under for more than an hour or so at a time, but how long, in reality, could someone stay hypnotised?
No, I have no plans to do any 'naked' or 'semi naked' films. At my age, I doubt anyone would want to see me like that anyway! But, would I do a silver suited one, well that might be fun! Nothing sexual though please, I'm British and asexual lol! But an obedient, hypno-bot, well that might just be fun I guess? The thing is, I assume I would have to dress in the silver suit first, and then be hypnotised, would be pretty tricky to get me into it otherwise I guess?
Maybe one day I will be hypnotised, hopefully pretty deeply into believing I'm really a robot, its as much as is likely to happen at present I guess. Also I'd still love to do a really intense transformation scene, but that seems even less likely at present, sadly. Its one thing where getting older doesnt help, it makes you less of an attractive target lol!
Yes, there are times when even I wonder if there would be a difference in my attitude to the concept of being turned into a mindless, obedient robot if it was about to become reality, or indeed could become so. I dont think there is, but I guess its one of those things that, until its really about to happen, you just dont think too deeply about it.
And yes, alright, I do tend to get a fit of the giggles when I go to the hairdressers, and go under those hairdrying devices. Sadly none have made any attempt to brainwash me as yet though, lol! Well not that I've noticed at least! But again, the fantasy of being brainwashed, and the reality of it happening to me might just be 2 different things anyway.
But for now, I'm happy to go on dreaming, and fantasising, and maybe one day this question will truly arise. Hopefully one day I can at least be in a roleplay scenario that feels so real, that I can make a call on that, but wont hold my breath for even that happening.

I would like to discuss in this paper what I consider to be some essential aspects of an Ericksonian approach to hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. I want to first contrast briefly the Ericksonian view of the hypnotic relationship to other more traditional views, and then to identify what I consider to be the general principles of communication in the Ericksonian approach and their application to the specific situation of hypnotic inductions. Finally, I want to comment about the need for integrity in applying these principles and techniques. Each of these topics is a major one, and in a short discussion I can convey only a general sense of their significance.

Portland, Oregon's Urban Growth Boundary: Smart growth or a stranglehold on the city?
When it is not being sent up for its bike karaoke and ironic moustaches, Portland, Oregon, is being held up as the city that threw out the rule book for conventional city growth patterns in the U.S. It is distinctly more walkable, bike-able and compact than other cities in the country and has become the poster child of "smart growth" in the U.S.
Some of that is down to a not particularly glamorous land use policy introduced in the 1970s that essentially drew a circle around the city to stop sprawl in its tracks, and to reflect development back toward the downtown area. But the policy has been divisive — it has also been accused of playing a key role in contributing to Portland's ongoing affordability crisis. We have a look here at how it came to be, and what its effects have been.
The origins of the UGB
It is not only Portland that has such a boundary. All of the cities in the state of Oregon have something similar. The strategy has been copied by other cities too — notably there is similar legislation in Washington and Tennessee.
Oregon's own experience began in the 1970s, when Gov. Tom McCall introduced land use restrictions designed to protect the farmland surrounding the state's cities by heavily restricting construction, and encouraging the use and re-use of more central land.
This might seem like an unlikely strategy amid the anti-regulatory political climate of the U.S. However, sub-regional plans in cities like Portland can have quite some force. It is designed as a positive spatial planning approach — not one focused on restrictions but about channeling development inwards and encouraging it to concentrate in more central parts of the city. That helps to provide the "critical mass" of people in these districts to justify public transit provision, and gives a boost to walkability and active travel.
This is one of a suite of plans that has made Portland look so different from other cities in the U.S. — the light rail, the bike-friendliness, the people-friendliness, the blooming of green infrastructure. It is managed through a system that cooperates with private developers to bring forward projects in Urban Renewal Areas and negotiate over densities.
It makes a lot of sense. So what is the opposition all about?
Trouble in paradise? The affordability crisis
One key criticism of these boundaries is that a city can only densify so much before things become tough.
When buildable land is made scarce, it tends to drive up the price of housing— basic demand and supply. The rush to build affordable units in Portland over the last couple of years has tried to cool down these price rises, but they continue to shoot up.
This reflects the so-called "green noose" argument against land-use boundaries. However it should be noted that others do not see the policy as the problem, explaining the rises as a natural outcome of increasing desirability of place.
The leapfrogging problem
One of the major problems caused by ribbon development and urban sprawl is how it performs on sustainability criteria. Low-density suburbs are notoriously difficult to serve by public transport, because they simply can't reach the critical mass.
If an urban growth boundary is not kept up-to-date and is outgrown, this might cause leapfrog development, where development "leaps" over the no-build areas to land precisely in these highly unsustainable locations with long (usually car-based) commutes into the center. Nobody wants that.
The importance of impermanence
Unlike the U.K.'s earlier version of the policy (the "green belt," which was established in the 1930s and said to inspire the UGB), Portland's growth boundary is not defined legally by its permanence. This allows it to be adjusted regularly to ensure there is enough developable land to supply a growing population.
Indeed, every six years an Urban Growth Report forecasts population and employment growth and adjusts the boundary to meet that forecast. The boundary has regularly expanded since its creation. This prevents the UGB becoming a nostalgic fetish, and allows it to address the challenges of today.
Of course these expansions themselves are controversial. In December, Oregon's metropolitan authority approved four new expansions, totaling 2,200 acres of development. This was the first expansion since 2014 and the largest since 2002, reflecting the growth pressures on the city. The next assessment is due in 2024.
Bringing land forward to build on is always crucial to housing a growing population, but to make that growth sustainable it has to happen in the right places. It is also a path littered with emotions and opposition. There are serious cultural barriers to overcome — as much as architects and urbanists berate them, Americans love them.
One complaint is that now in Portland only the wealthy can afford a backyard — while Europeans bring their children up in apartments and use public open space, the American dream lies behind your own front door.
The example set by Portland — a city that seems at its best to provide density with a high quality of life and green space — is an important one. But maintaining diversity and serving those at the lower end of the economic spectrum will require careful management if the city wants to rise above its satirical "Portlandia" portrait.


August 28, 2013, London – Forbidden Technologies plc (AIM: FBT), the AIM-quoted owner and developer of the market-leading cloud video platform Forscene, today announced new partnerships and integrations with The Associated Press, deltatre, and EVS, companies that provide products and technologies that are proven in the news and sport broadcasting markets. The partnerships have broadened Forbidden's access to those markets and have led to improvements that strengthen Forscene's capabilities in the realm of news and sport.
The Forbidden partnership with the AP has led to a new integration with AP ENPS. With ENPS, Forscene uses the MOS protocol to allow newsroom-based producers to create placeholders in the running order to be filled by journalists on location, wherever they may be. Journalists can then craft stories that combine newly acquired footage with previously shot or archived material. Editors and producers in the newsroom can collaborate on finishing the piece right up to the time that it goes to air.
"For large outside broadcasts, the use of Forscene eliminates the need to deploy large banks of traditional editing systems and represents a considerable savings for sports and party conferences," said Bryan Girdler, ENPS development manager for Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
In addition to a partnership with the AP, Forbidden has collaborated with deltatre to deliver sport coverage to global audiences, most recently providing video from golf tournaments around the world. deltatre now offers Forscene as part of its online solutions, providing its customers with tools to create and distribute video content to multiple platforms, and providing economies of scale to broadcasters and sports organizations. The organiser of Europe's leading men's professional golf tour is using deltatre and Forscene cloud post-production tools to reduce turnaround times significantly, improve efficiencies, save money, and ultimately deliver compelling content to drive a new content service that can be enjoyed by golf fans everywhere.
Finally, Forbidden worked with EVS to integrate Forscene with EVS' IPDirector and Xedio Dispatcher. The integration with IPDirector enables remote, browser-based editing of footage in sports centres or newsrooms. Editors can work remotely and confirm edits against broadcast-quality footage centrally for transmission. The integration with Xedio Dispatcher supports remote news-editing. Field editors can upload ENG material to the cloud to share with broadcast centre users, and they can access content uploaded to the cloud from the broadcast centre or any other location — enabling editing anywhere.
Forbidden will demonstrate the newest developments to Forscene, and the integrations with deltatre and EVS products, at IBC2013 on stand 7.J15d. In addition, deltatre's Irving will highlight the partnership with Forbidden during a presentation titled "The Cloud and Digital Media Sports Workflows" at IBC's Workflow Solutions area in Hall 9 on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 2 p.m. More information about Forscene and Forbidden Technologies is available at www.forscene.com.


There were two counters but as I was too tired and out of breath, I didn't realize the next counter was already free. The Ticketing Officer(TO) had to call me, only then I notice. I was blur and pointless for a few seconds.

TO: Macam nak cepat je... Kenapa?
Me: Ada kelas pukul 4 ni!
Upon saying that, somehow I felt a bit shy. He must have thought I'm a lecturer. When truth is I'm just a swimming teacher. Hahah... Oh, after all those adrenaline rush, when I finally arrived at the pool... PAM KOLAM ROSAK.
it's okay what. orang kata cakap empat puluh kali jadi doa. nanti entah2 jadi lecturer betul. haaaaa.


Is there a specific upgrade path from 7.0.x to 7.4.2c that has to be followed on a 5460.
Just wondering if the image can be upgraded directly from 7.0.x to 7.4.2c directly if willing to do a disruptive upgrade, or if a specific path needs to be followed. 7.0---7.1---7.2 (from 7.2 it looks like no issue going to 7.4).
Re: Is there a specific upgrade path from 7.0.x to 7.4.2c that has to be followed on a 5460.
You'll have to look at each of the Release Notes to determine your upgrade path.
I'd start by looking at the 7.2 as you should be able to jump from 7.0 to 7.2 disruptively, then 7.2 to 7.4.


The Highest Speed Cars in the world.
The SSC Ultimate Aero is an Americanbuilt midengine sports car by SSC North America (formerly known as Shelby SuperCars). The higherperformance limitedproduction version had formerly been listed in Guinness World Records as the fastest production car in the world. The record is currently held by Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, since 2010 when it reached the speed of 431.072 km/h. In April 2013 the record briefly reverted to the SSC Ultimate Aero during an investigation by Guinness World Records. The SSC Ultimate Aero does not have electronic aids such as ABS brakes or traction control, as according to Jerod Shelby, Early design philosophy on the car was to make it a drivers car. I wanted a car that you not only throttled with your right foot but at times you could steer with your right foot.

Building new homes with accessibility in mind
It's now coming up to 10 years since an October 2007 ATV accident north of Thunder Bay left Domenic Cuda as a paraplegic. Reflecting back, however, he considers himself fortunate.
It could have been a lot worse, says Cuda, of the accident, in which his vehicle plunged 20 feet over an embankment, leaving him stranded in the woods for hours before help could arrive.
Cuda now spends days living his life as normally as possible, which typically may consist of gardening in the backyard, working out in the basement gym, watching TV in the recreational area with his kids, or using the home office area to coordinating fundraising for his two boys' sports activites.
Paramount to maintaining all these activities is a home with accessibility built right in.
It also helps that the one-time employee of Losani Homes had the benefit of a personal connection with its CEO Fred Losani. Says Cuda: "I'll never forget him (Fred) saying 'Dom, we have got to find you a lot and do whatever it takes to make this more comfortable for you.'"
A lot became available in Spring 2010, and construction began on a 2,575 sq. ft. bungalow in Grimsby just minutes from Lake Ontario.
These days, Cuda is making it his mission to educate others about and accessibility and new homes. It helps that he has the expertise and background in construction — his job was overseeing home construction from drywall to completion — but he now also has close to a decade of experience first with retrofitting an existing home and later building a new one.
"It's all in the details," says Cuda who recently gave me a tour of his home located just minutes east of Hamilton. And if you did not have prior knowledge, you may not even guess this is a specially equipped home.
The bungalow has the new-home look — it's open concept, has abundant lighting and windows throughout, and it features hand-scraped teak hardwood floors, granite countertops and all the latest in kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
As for the acessibility features, they are intended to be "'seamless" as possible and include:
a 'three-level' built-in elevator that goes from main-floor hallway to garage and to the basement below;
walk-out basement with an extended ramp so Cuda can enjoy his backyard and gardening;
extra wide hallways and door entrances, plus double French doors in the master bedroom;
lever handles on all bathroom (four) and bedroom (three) doors, easier to use than door knobs;
lower, easier-to-reach kitchen cabinets and 'roll-under' cooktops and kitchen prep areas;
lower-to-the-floor light switches and thermostat controls, so everything is easily within arm's reach;
zero-threshold sliding doors and shower, meaning no steps are used and is fully wheel chair accessible.
If there was one lesson learned, "it's a heck of a lot cheaper to build from scratch then to retrofit." says Cuda who had started some renovations to his previous Hamilton home before Losani Homes offered to help him build a new one.
For example, he estimates the built-in elevator, which travels between the basement, the garage and the main floor, costs one-third of the price than it would have to have it put in later.
But it's not just about the cost. "A retrofit often ends up looking like a retrofit," and that's why it makes so much sense to build accessbility features into a new home from the outset, he says.
Reflecting on it all, Cuda says the only he misses out on is spontaneity — he must plan out each day carefully — but thanks to living in an accessible home, his independence, privacy and mobility remain intact.
WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESSIBILITY, HOME BUYERS URGED TO THINK AHEAD
If you look at accessibility in the bigger picture, new home builders may be mIssing out on an opportunity, believes Fred Losani, CEO and founder of Losani Homes.
While Losani believes the demand exists, "we have not reached the tipping point, where it's become a standard feature, so accessibility tends to be offered as an option," he says.
There are many levels of accessibilty, and sooner or later, every home buyer will need to consider what it means depending on their stage of life.
The current emphasis on agingin-place has Losani re-thinking how new homes are built, and at its master-planned community in East Hamilton called Central Park, buyers can opt to have an elevator installed ($54,000) or roughed-in ($7,000).
It's not as far down the road as it sounds. Due to a lack of space and with lot sizes diminishing, builders are being forced to construct more two-, three-storey semi-detached units and townhomes, and elevators are the answer to anybody who has trouble negotiating stairs.
Sprawling bungalows such as Domenic Cuda are hard to find, says Losani, while advising home buyers to think far ahead to what their needs may be.
But it's not just the actual home. Builders such as Losani Homes are thinking about how communities are designed and hope to give more consideration to easier access to parkland and nearby natural areas.
The Losani development in East Hamilton is minutes away from numerous natural attractions including the Bruce Trail and several waterfalls, and the plan is to modify pathways so they can be accessible for wheel chairs, baby strollers and any special needs.
Losani believes it's never to early to think about the type of accessibility features somebody may need down the road. "I, for one, really like where I live, and I don't want to be in a position where I have to one day move," he says.
Majority of accessibility features cost less than $100
A recent research project commissioned by CMHC examined the cost of including features at the construction phase that could enhance the accessibility and adaptability of new homes.
This study estimated that 57% of the accessibility and adaptability features examined could be included in the construction of new homes for less than $100 each.
It estimated further that the inclusion of these features would add six to 12% to the construction of the selected designs.
The majority of seniors express a preference for aging in place. As Canada's population ages, the construction of sustainable homes that can adapt to changing needs will benefit both the residents and their communities.
The potential benefits of adaptable features in housing could include a longer period of independent living, the retention of residents' established support services, maintaining residents' existing social links, and continued participation in the community.
The additional costs of including up to 60 design features to make a newly constructed home accessible or adaptable in the future are not insignificant. They are nonetheless much lower than the cost of converting an existing dwelling in order to make it accessible.
The research insight includes more detail on the project including the particular accessibility features that were addressed, and cost differences based on location and type of house.

Q: viewDidLoad not called for UIView Inside UITabBarController I have got a UITabBarController in nib file. Usually 2 tabbar items are pre-added. I added third tabBar item to it by dragging a UIViewController and changing class name in identity inspector to the controller I want to load - lets say abc. When I run my program, both viewController load fine except that of abc. The contents are displayed as it is set in IB, the code I wrote in viewDidLoad is not executing. I confirmed it by using breakpoints and NSLog statements.
But the weird thing is that when I tried to load this nib separately by pushing it into UINavigationController, it is doing fine.
So my Question here is What is going wrong when I try to load it in UITabBarController? Why viewDidLoad is not executing?
Thanks.

A: I cleared whole product and then built again after restarting mac. Now everything is working fine. My guess is may be new changes were not made in cache on built, which was the source of problem. Any person can comment to tell the reason he can think of in his mind. I will love to know that ;)

Foggy, Foggy Night
Wednesday, May 18, 2011 – Fenway Park, Sections 43 and 17
Red Sox 1, Tigers 0
The Red Sox returned to Fenway riding high after a three-game sweep of the Yankees in the Bronx. The only thing that could dampen our spirits was actual rain, and that's exactly what Fenway had in store for the entire homestand. Monday's fans sat through a steady rain as the Red Sox rallied back from a six-run deficit to win. Tuesday's game was completely rained out. Wednesday's weather looked as bad as Tuesday night's, and Thursday's wasn't supposed to be much better. But this two game series that was starting Wednesday night was the Tigers' only trip to Boston, so if my game got rained out at night the likely makeup date would be Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately I had a work commitment on Thursday that I couldn't get out of (there was a big implementation that they had rescheduled for Thursday just so I could be there) so I really hoped they could get Wednesday night's game in as planned. I didn't even care what kind of nasty weather I had to sit through, as long as the game was played.
Clay Buchholz delivered with a very strong start.
It was raining as I walked up from the T station at about 6:30. I took a peek out at the field and saw that they were in the process of taking the tarp off. Once I was confident that they would actually be starting the game, I went and bought something to eat. My next stop was the bullpen to watch Clay Buchholz get in his warmup throws. By the time the game actually started, it was down to a drizzle, and we noticed after awhile that while a big misty fog hung over the park, we weren't getting wet at all. Maybe they would be able to get five innings in after all. Buchholz had a 1-2-3 first with two strikeouts, but he went to a full count on every batter and needed 26 pitches. This wasn't helping speed the game along.
It might not have been as fast as I would have liked, but Clay did an excellent job against a hot Tigers lineup that had just won 7 games in a row before finally dropping one Monday night. He didn't allow a baserunner until he walked the #9 hitter in the third, and Detroit's first hit was a double in the fourth. The Tigers had doubles in the fifth and sixth, too, but each time Buchholz was able to get out of the inning unscathed.
Yes, that's right, I said "sixth". The game became official at the end of the fifth, and we still weren't getting rained on. The problem now was that the game was scoreless, so if the rain did start and we couldn't continue tonight, it would become a suspended game, finished tomorrow in front of Thursday's ticketholders, not us who were here tonight. Clay had an even 100 pitches at the end of the sixth, so I was a little surprised when he came back out for the seventh. That's when the rain started up, and he ended up hitting two batters with a single in between. The rain got harder and Buchholz's pitch count rose as leadoff batter Austin Jackson stepped in with the bases loaded and two outs. We were on our feet for the whole at-bat, by far the most important showdown of the night. The count went full and Jackson fouled a couple off, before finally whiffing to end the threat. We were already on our feet, but Clay got a standing ovation as he walked off the field, and we stayed up for the seventh inning stretch.
By the time we found seats under cover in the grandstand, it was so foggy that even the Citgo sign was just a faint blue blur.
With a steady rain and the fact that it was late enough for the casual fans to bail, my friend and I decided to head for covered seats for the rest of the game. We walked around behind the back row of the grandstand, so that we could see the Sox bat in the bottom of the inning as we made our way around to the infield. When the inning ended, we found some empty seats in Section 17 and sat there. Daniel Bard came in for the eighth and threw one pitch before the umps signaled for the tarp. I noted the time on my scorecard – 9:32.
No sooner had the grounds crew stretched the tarp over the infield than my friend said, "Is it even raining anymore?" It was hard to tell, because the fog had gotten worse, but it looked like maybe it had stopped. Sure enough, right after she said that, at 9:39, the grounds crew came back out to start removing the tarp, seven minutes after putting it down. It was as if they found out I was here and dragged the tarp out just so I could have a rain delay to sit through. I was just glad that with this one as short as it was, hopefully I wouldn't be here until 3 am this time, although I was still nervous about having to go extras, since the game was still scoreless.
The game resumed at 9:58, and by then it was so foggy that we could barely see the centerfield flag, not to mention the Dunkin Dugout. Even the Citgo sign was reduced to a faint blue blur where the letters were. I had a chuckle when I watched the replay at home and Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo quipped, "Earlier we were worried about not being able to see the Pru; now we can't even see Jacoby Ellsbury." But the view was great where we wound up.
Jacoby Ellsbury ducks out of the way after being grazed by a pitch in the eighth.
Bard returned and worked quickly, sending the Tigers down 1-2-3. The rain delay may have actually helped the Red Sox, since Phil Coke, who had been shutting them down all night and had thrown only 78 pitches, did not return after the break. Reliever Ryan Perry got two quick outs in the bottom of the eighth, but then lefty Daniel Schlereth walked Carl Crawford. Jim Leyland made a trip out to the mound, but ended up leaving Schlereth in to face Jarrod Saltalamacchia. After a 2-1 count and a couple of throws over to first to check on Crawford, Schlereth delivered. Salty banged the pitch off the Green Monster, and Crawford sped around to score the game's first run. After Schlereth hit a batter it was finally time for a pitching change, and Al Alburquerque (who has one of the coolest names in baseball) finally got the Tigers out of the inning with only one run in for the Sox.
Carl Crawford takes a lead off first, just before scoring the game's only run.
With the Red Sox now holding a 1-0 lead, Jonathan Papelbon came in to nail down the save. But the first batter of the inning was old friend Victor Martinez, who laced a double down the right field line. A pinch-runner came in, the potential tying run in scoring position. Paps induced a ground ball for the first out, but the runner moved on to third. There was no more messing around after that. He blew away the next batter on three pitches, and then struck out Ryan Rayburn to end it. From where I was sitting (although I wasn't able to capture it on film) I had a great view of his fist pump as he walked off the mound triumphantly at the end.
Congratulations to the Red Sox on another dramatic win.

New 52 – Batwing #19 review
Andrew Asberry
All aboard! JUMPING ON POINT ALERT
Never read an issue of Batwing before in your life? You'll do fine here. As long as you know what Batman Inc. is and that there is a representative in Africa you'll be able to follow along. You won't know exactly why Batwing is beating up certain individuals or blowing up airships
Seriously, the guy is like "I can't kill while wearing the symbol of the bat." but then he goes and blows up a motherf'n airship with people inside of it.
but you'll understand that these are loose ends he's tying up.
And that's basically what most of the issue is. It's a pretty bad ass send off (up to a point) where we see David let go of his civilian life and bring down God's terrible thunder on every single baddie he had leftover from previous storylines. Why did I put "up to a point" in parenthesis while ago? Because even though the new creative team of Pamiotti and Gray (the writers behind All-Star Western) gave David plenty of heroic moments in this, I found the character's excuse for leaving to be weak and in the final pages where we get the big reveal of who the new Batwing is, Alfred states that David was actually the second choice for Batwing. What a slap in the face to David Zavimbe fans! And as for why I think his excuse for leaving is weak– you see his reasons on the very first page. David believes that the symbol of Batman and his tactics can't work in a place as bad as Tinasha. Well, I believe that Gotham, before Batman arrived, was worse than Tinasha so that's why that doesn't fly with me. Secondly, the bulk of the issue is Batwing whooping every single enemy that was still standing. His actions in this issue are proof that David can make Batwing work in the DRC. In fact, after watching him bring down all the baddies,
lose Matu
, and retire from the police force I felt that we were walking away from this character at his absolute most interesting moment.
But what can you do? Sales have been falling. Most folks never got on board with the Batman of Africa so the series really needed a shakeup to attract new readers and that's exactly what we're getting. This issue unveils a brand new Batwing and a brand new suit.
To keep from spoiling the big reveal I'll put that and my thoughts on the new Batwing in spoilertags.
So the new Black Panther Batwing is Luke Cage Fox, the son of Lucius Fox. Since we only see the character for about two pages I'll reserve judgment but I can't help but be initially annoyed that Batman can't seem to have one ally with a normal family. Harper Row is fighting crime now, Gordon's two kids are bizarre… I suppose the only one left is Leslie Thompson and we've only seen her like once in the whole New 52. And can we please get it written in stone how many kids Lucius has? Seems like every decade a new child is getting thrown in. I believe he has two daughters, one of which is named Tam, and there was an Earth 2 (or something) son named Tim who was a villain named The Vulture at one point as well. Still, it does seem that Luke will be a different character from David. He appears to be much happier and eager than David ever was and I think that stoic nature came off as too Batman-like and was turning people away from the book. I also like the design of the new Batwing armor far more. For one, he actually has a helmet which is a HUGE plus. It's got an undeniable Batman Beyond vibe too, but it also makes him look even more like a Black Panther rip-off. I have to wonder though, why doesn't Batman use any of this stuff? There is really no excuse for Batman to not be wearing this suit. You see how excited he is while discussing all the new tech and how it's the most advanced suit Lucius has ever made… then he flops the ol' cowl back over his ears and there's no mention of the fact that maybe, possible, Batman should be putting this stuff on instead. Heck, while he's at it he might as well use the same chemicals that Lincoln March used and make himself immortal. Why not?
Overall it's a good and very fast paced issue that ties up all the loose ends from the previous arc so we can get into the brand new adventures of Batwing 2.0 next month. I recommend you give it a try, but it's understandable if you want to wait until issue #20. That's when we'll really see what this new hero's personality is like and what sort of obstacles he will be facing.
