Rinse the filter in clean water and dry.
Do not keep flammable substances in the ovens or drawers.
Wipe down the cooktop and wipe out the ovens after every use.
Wipe up spills. Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (such as lemon juice or vinegar) on the oven surfaces.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads on the outside surfaces of the cooker. Immediately wipe off any caustic cleaners if they are spilled onto the oven door handles.
Wipe the cooker's outside surfaces often, using warm water and a mild household detergent. The stainless steel may also be cleaned with a suitable cleaner and polish.
Clean the ignitor and probe carefully, using a toothbrush and methylated spirits.
To avoid damage to the electric ignition, do not try to light a burner without all burner parts in place.
The probe is always clean to ensure correct operation of the safety valves.
Both the ignitor and probe must be very carefully cleaned using a toothbrush and methylated spirits.
Fit the burner ring to the housing as shown by the arrow in the Fig. following. Make sure the burner is not able to rotate (Fig.36).
Ensure that you replace the dual burner correctly; the burner rib must be fitted as shown by the arrows in Fig.38a.
Position the small central cap in its housing as shown by the arrows in Fig.38b.
Position the big cap in its housing as shown by the arrows in Fig.38c.
Never unscrew the burner screws.
Leave the griddle to soak before cleaning. Scrape away any food residue and wash in warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry the griddle thoroughly.
If you have purchased and installed catalytic panels, do not use any oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based cleaners, products containing acids or alkalis or detergents on them.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean the enamel. Clean the enamel on the inside of an oven when it has cooled down, using household detergents or an ammonia-based cleaner. You may use 'off the shelf' oven cleaners, if you carefully follow the manufacturers' instructions.
The catalytic panels are not supplied with the cooker, but purchased and installed optionally. Contact your local Fisher & Paykel dealer for details.
The catalytic panels are covered with a special microporous enamel which absorbs and does away with oil and fat splashes during normal cooking over 200 °C. If, after cooking very fatty foods, the panels remain dirty, heat the oven on maximum for an hour to an hour and a half, and they will self-clean. The side panels are reversible. Make sure that you replace them with the arrow up, and on the correct side. To remove the side catalytic panels, you first need to unscrew the side racks. See Fig. 39.
The arrows are pointing upwards.
Then screw the side racks back onto the oven wall.
In some models, the back panel of the oven is also a catalytic liner, but this is not reversible and should not be removed.
Clean the fat filter after every use. If the filter is not cleaned, it will block and shorten the life of the fan element. If it is lightly soiled, place the filter in a dishwasher on normal wash. If the filter is very dirty, place in a saucepan with either two tablespoons of clothes washing powder, or one tablespoon of dishwashing powder. Bring to the boil and leave to soak for at least 30 minutes.
The telescopic sliding shelf supports make it safer and easier to insert and remove the oven shelves and trays. They stop when they are pulled out to the maximum position. Wipe the supports with a damp cloth and a mild detergent only. Do not wash them in the dishwasher, immerse them in soapy water, or use oven cleaner on them.
Remove the side racks by unscrewing the fixing screws (Fig. 39).
Lay down the sliding shelf support and side racks, with the sliding shelf support underneath.
Find the safety locks. These are the tabs that clip over the wire of the side rack (arrow 1 in Fig. 42).
Pull the safety locks away from the wire to release the wire (arrow 2 in Fig. 42).
Screw the side rack onto the oven wall.
Fit the sliding shelf support onto the top wire of a rack and press (Fig. 43). You will hear a click as the safety locks clip over the wire.
The sliding supports can only be used on shelf positions 1,2 and 3.
the slides to the top wire of a rack. They do not fit on the lower wire.

Q: Form Validation - Replace Blank Fields I have several tables, with form elements - all of these elements are submitted as a single form and parsed.  I would like to add some validation, using jQuery for the .submit() parameters.
I have found some code online, but these produce error messages, I was wondering if anyone knows of any sample code that can perform the following:
On .submit()
if textBox1 = ""
    then replace empty textBox1 with "1"
else if textBox2 = ""
    then replace empty textBox2 with "-1"
and continue to submit the form

A: var textBoxDefaultValues = {
    textBox1 : '1',
    textBox2 : '-1'
};

$(formSelector).on('submit', function () {
    $(this).find('input[type="text"]').each(function() {
        if($(this).val() == '') {
            $(this).val(textBoxDefaultValues[$(this).attr('name')]);
        }
    });
    return true;
});

A: Here's another solution:
$("#myForm").submit(function() {
  if $(this).find("input[type='text']").each(function() {
    if $(this).val() == "") $(this).val("1");
    if $(this).val() == "..") $(this).val("-1");
  });
});

This solution might be more straightfoward/simpler to understand. If you have a lot of inputs Atber's solution will probably be more fitting.

A: Your pseudo-code translated precisely:
$("form").submit(function() {
    if ($('input[name="textBox1"]').val() == "") {
        $('input[name="textBox1"]').val("1");
    } elseif ($('input[name="textBox2"]') == "") {
        $('input[name="textBox2"]').val("-1");
    }
});

EDIT:
If, for whatever reason, you need to duplicate the name attribute across multiple inputs, you can target inputs by the id attribute instead:
// HTML form
<input type="text" name="textBox1" id="foo" />
<input type="text" name="textBox1" id="bar" />

// Javascript
$("form").submit(function() {
    if ($('input[id="foo"]').val() == "") {
        $('input[id="foo"]').val("1");
    } elseif ($('input[id="bar"]') == "") {
        $('input[id="bar"]').val("-1");
    }
});

Lavorò nelle industrie Armstrong Whitworth, ma nel 1884 fu assunto alla Clarke Chapman, di cui divenne presto socio. Nel medesimo anno costruì la prima turbina a vapore della storia.

Fondato nel 1889 uno stabilimento autonomo, nel 1897 sperimentò la sua turbina sul piroscafo Turbina. Nel 1912 scrisse l'opera riassuntiva del suo lavoro, La turbina a vapore.

Biografia
Parsons nacque da una famiglia anglo-irlandese, come figlio più giovane del famoso astronomo William Parsons, III conte di Rosse, e di sua moglie, Mary Field.

Con i suoi tre fratelli, Parsons è stato educato a casa in Irlanda da tutori privati (tra cui John Purser), tutti esperti nelle scienze e che hanno svolto anche il ruolo di assistenti pratici del conte nel suo lavoro astronomico. Uno di loro in seguito divenne, come Sir Robert Ball, Astronomo Reale per l'Irlanda. Parsons studiò matematica al Trinity College di Dublino e al St. John's College di Cambridge, diplomandosi nel 1877 con lode.

Carriera
Entrò a far parte dello studio di ingegneria di Newcastle di WG Armstrong come apprendista, un posto insolito per il figlio di un conte; poi si trasferì a Kitsons a Leeds dove lavorò sui siluri a razzo; e poi nel 1884 si trasferì a Clarke, Chapman and Co., costruttori di motori di navi vicino a Newcastle, dove era a capo dello sviluppo delle loro apparecchiature elettriche. Ha sviluppato un motore a turbina nel 1884 e ha immediatamente utilizzato il nuovo motore per azionare un generatore elettrico, che ha anche progettato. La turbina a vapore di Parsons rese possibile l'elettricità economica e abbondante e rivoluzionò il trasporto marittimo e la guerra navale.

Un altro tipo di turbina a vapore all'epoca, inventato da Gustaf de Laval, era un progetto impulsivo che sottoponeva il meccanismo a enormi forze centrifughe e quindi aveva una produzione limitata a causa della debolezza dei materiali disponibili.

Nel 1889, fondò la C. A. Parsons and Company a Newcastle per produrre generatori di turbo nel suo progetto. Nello stesso anno ha istituito la Newcastle and District Electric Lighting Company (DisCO). Nel 1890, DisCo aprì la Forth Banks Power Station, la prima centrale elettrica al mondo a generare elettricità utilizzando i generatori turbo. Nel 1894 riacquistò alcuni diritti di brevetto da Clarke Chapman. Sebbene la sua prima turbina fosse efficiente solo dell'1,6% e generasse solo 7,5 kilowatt, in pochi anni i rapidi miglioramenti incrementali portarono alla sua prima turbina megawatt costruita nel 1899 per un impianto di generazione a Elberfeld, in Germania.

Parsons era anche interessato alle applicazioni marine e fondò la Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company a Newcastle. Notoriamente, nel giugno 1897, la sua turbina yacht, Turbinia, è stata presentata durante il Giubileo di diamante della regina Vittoria dalla flotta Review fuori Portsmouth, per dimostrare il grande potenziale della nuova tecnologia. Parte del miglioramento della velocità era attribuibile allo snello scafo della Turbinia.

Nel giro di due anni, i cacciatorpediniere HMS Viper e Cobra furono lanciati con le turbine Parsons, presto seguite dalla prima nave da passeggeri a propulsione a turbina, il piroscafo Clyde TS King Edward nel 1901; la prima turbina transatlantica di navi RMS Victorian e Virginian nel 1905, e la prima corazzata a propulsione a turbina, HMS Dreadnought nel 1906, tutte guidate da motori a turbina di Parsons. Oggi Turbinia è ospitata in una galleria appositamente costruita al Discovery Museum, a Newcastle.

Fu eletto membro della Royal Society nel giugno 1898. Fu presidente della British Association (1916-1919). Era un oratore invitato dell'ICM nel 1924 a Toronto.

La compagnia di turbine Parsons sopravvive nell'area Heaton di Newcastle e fa ora parte di Siemens, un conglomerato tedesco. A volte indicato come Siemens Parsons, la società ha recentemente completato un importante programma di riqualificazione, riducendo le dimensioni del suo sito di circa tre quarti e installando la più recente tecnologia di produzione. Nel 1925 Charles Parsons acquisì la Grubb Telescope Company e la ribattezzò Grubb Parsons. Quella compagnia sopravvisse nell'area di Newcastle fino al 1985.

Parsons era anche noto per aver inventato l'Auxetophone, un precoce grammofono ad aria compressa.

Matrimonio
Nel 1883 Parsons sposò Katharine Bethell (?-16 ottobre 1933), figlia di William F. Bethell. Ebbero due figli:

 Rachel Mary Parsons (1885-1 giugno 1956)
 Algernon George Parsons (19 ottobre 1886-26 aprile 1918)

Morte
Parsons morì l'11 febbraio 1931 a bordo della nave a vapore Duchess of Richmond mentre era in crociera con sua moglie. La causa della morte era neuropatia. Un servizio funebre fu tenuto all'Abbazia di Westminster il 3 marzo 1931. Parsons fu sepolto nella chiesa St Bartholomew's a Kirkwhelpington, nel Northumberland.

Nel 1919 Katharine e sua figlia hanno co-fondato la Women's Engineering Society, che esiste ancora oggi.

Ten is het debuutalbum van de Amerikaanse rockband Pearl Jam en is uitgegeven op 27 augustus 1991 bij Epic Records. Ten is tot op heden het best verkopende album van de band en wordt gezien als een van de meest iconische albums van de jaren 90. Het won verschillende prijzen waaronder één gouden plaat in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, de platina status in Nederland en dertien maal platina in de Verenigde Staten (meer dan 13 miljoen exemplaren werden verkocht).

Vanaf 2018 staat Ten op de eerste plaats van de Album Top 500 Allertijden van Veronica. Lezers van het gezaghebbende Amerikaanse blad Rolling Stone plaatsten Ten op plek 19 van de Top 100 Albums aller tijden in 2002.

Van het album verschenen vier singles: Alive, Even Flow, Jeremy en Oceans. Alive was de eerste single en is waarschijnlijk het bekendste nummer van de band. Het zorgde voor de enorme aandacht die eind 1991 voor de band ontstond en van Pearl Jam een van de grootste rockacts maakte. Jeremy werd begeleid door een veel op MTV gedraaide videoclip.

Het nummer Black is nooit als single uitgegeven maar veel geprezen. In de Top 2000 stond het in 2020 op plek zes en in 2021 op plek negen. In Vlaanderen stond dit nummer in de jaren 2015-2020 op nummer 1 van de Tijdloze 100 van Studio Brussel als allerbeste song allertijden. In 2021 stond het op de tweede plek.

Creatie
Instrumentale demo's werden in 1990 gecreëerd door de gitaristen Stone Gossard en Mike McCready en bassist Jeff Ament. Een bandje hiervan met het label Stone Gossard Demos '91 bereikte de in San Diego wonende zanger Eddie Vedder via drummer Jack Irons. Vedder schreef teksten voor wat later de nummers Alive, Once en Footsteps zouden worden genoemd en stuurde de ingezonden nummers terug. Hij werd in oktober 1990 uitgenodigd voor een auditie, en had intussen ook teksten geschreven voor wat het nummer Black zou worden. Vedder werd als zanger aangenomen, Dave Krusen als drummer en de band ondertekende een contract bij Epic Records.

Onder de tijdelijke bandnaam Mookie Blaylock werden de nummers tussen maart en mei 1991 opgenomen in de London Bridge Studios in Seattle. In januari 1991 waren al eerdere opnames gemaakt, maar alleen Alive bleef hiervan over. Doordat het meeste materiaal al was geschreven was de totale opnameperiode relatief kort. De nummers Porch, Deep, Why Go en Garden werden voor het eerst opgenomen. Na de opnames verliet Dave Krusen de band om in een afkickliniek van zijn drankprobleem af te komen. In juni 1991 werd het album in Engeland definitief gemixt door Tim Palmer.

In jaren erna gaven bandleden vaak aan dat ze niet helemaal tevreden waren met de uitkomsten. In 2001 zei Ament hierover: "I'd love to remix Ten. Ed, for sure, would agree with me...It wouldn't be like changing performances; just pull some of the reverb off it". In 2002 zei Gossard: "It was 'over-rocked', we were novices in the studio and spent too long recording, doing different takes, and killing the vibe and overdubbing tons of guitar. There's a lot of reverb on the record". Eddie Veder gaf in 2006 aan: "I can listen to the early records [except] the first record...it's just the sound of the record. It was kind of mixed in a way that was...it was kind of produced". Dit leidde in 2009 tot een heruitgave van Ten waarbij, naast het origineel uitgegeven album, ook de door de bandleden gewenste opnames zitten.

Commercieel succes
De verkopen van het album kwamen pas enkele maanden na de uitgave op stoom (mede beïnvloed door het succes van Nirvana's Nevermind dat een maand later dan Ten werd uitgegeven). Dit is mede de reden dat het album in de Amerikaanse Billboard 200 Albums niet de eerste positie heeft bereikt. In 1992 bereikt het album niet nummer 1 vanwege Some Gave All van Billy Ray Cyrus. Dit lukt Pearl Jam wel met Vs. (1993), Vitalogy (1994), Backspacer (2009) en Lightning Bolt (2013).

In de Verenigde Staten stond Ten in totaal 264 weken achter elkaar in de Billboard lijst. Daarmee staat het in de top 15 van langstgenoteerde albums in de Verenigde Staten. Met 13 miljoen verkopen behoort Ten tot de 40 meest verkopende albums aller tijden in de Verenigde Staten. Het album werd even vaak verkocht als bijvoorbeeld het album Whitney Houston (1985) van Whitney Houston en Purple Rain (1984) van Prince and The Revolution.

In Nederland kwam het album in de Album Top 100 binnen op nummer 24. Het behaalde uiteindelijk slechts de 14e plaats maar bleef wel 142 weken aanwezig in de lijst.

Pearl Jam's Ten (1991) staat op nummer 12 van de meest verkopende albums uitgebracht in de jaren'90 in de Verenigde Staten. De lijst wordt aangevoerd door Double Live (1998) van Garth Brooks en Come on Over (1997) van Shania Twain.

Ten zorgde voor zulke hoge verwachtingen rondom Pearl Jam zodat opvolger Vs. uit 1993 het snelstverkopende album in de geschiedenis van de Verenigde Staten werd. Pearl Jam heeft dit record tot 1998 vastgehouden.

Accolades
Ten stond twaalf jaar lang (2005-2016) bovenaan in de Hemelse Honderd-lijst van 3FM. Daarna werd deze lijst niet meer gemaakt en opgevolgd door de Album Top 750 Allertijden lijsten van Veronica. In 2016 en 2017 stond Ten op de tweede plaats en in 2018 op de eerste plaats. Deze lijst werd ingekort tot de Album Top 500 Allertijden. Ten stond in 2019 en 2020 op de eerste plaats. In 2021 was er geen lijst.

In mei 2016 werd Ten tot beste album aller tijden gestemd op de Album 100 van Studio Brussel, een plek die het sinds 2009 inneemt en alleen in 2011 moest afstaan. In 2017 stond Ten op de eerste plaats van de Album 500. Daarna stopte Studio Brussel met de lijst.

In het speciaal jubileumnummer van OOR ter ere van het 40-jarig bestaan van het blad in mei 2011 staat de 'definitieve OOR Top 40'. Deze lijst is samengesteld door (ex)medewerkers en betrokkenen. Het album Ten van Pearl Jam staat op plek 11. In juli 2011 wordt de OOR Top 40 gepubliceerd die door lezers is samengesteld. Ten staat op plek 3.

In een poll van Rolling Stone in 2013 werd Ten tot veruit het beste album van Pearl Jam gekozen. De impact van het album wordt omschreven als:"...It left a really, really big impression. They will never make another record this big. No rock band ever will". Lezers van Rolling Stone plaatsten zowel in 1992 als in 1993 Ten op plek 2 van de Readers' Picks Albums.

Recensies
Muziekkrant OOR noemt Ten in 1992 "een volwassen en tijdloos album".

Tracklist

Europese bonustracks:
 Alive (live)
 Wash
 Dirty Frank

Japanse bonustracks:
 I've Got A Feeling
 Master/Slave

Tracks
Het originele album wordt geopend (en gesloten) door het tweedelige "Master/Slave". Het eerste gedeelte gaat over in Once, en het tweede gedeelte volgt ongeveer 10 seconden na Release. Het nummer is volledig instrumentaal, met uitzondering van gemompel door Vedder.

Trivia
 De eerste twee albums van Pearl Jam, waaronder het debuutalbum Ten, kenmerken zich door korte titels. Op Ten bestaan van de elf nummers alleen Even Flow en Why Go uit meer dan één woord. Op Vs. bestaan negen van de twaalf nummers uit één woord. Glorified G heeft als tweede woord een letter, en W.M.A. is een afkorting van White Male American. Als gimmick heeft Pearl Jam het resterende nummer op Vs. "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" genoemd.
 Volgens bassist Jeff Ament heeft het album ongeveer $25,000 gekost om te maken en het drievoudige daarvan om het te mixen.
 De opname van Alive die uiteindelijk op het album terecht kwam was die van januari 1991 toen de band diversen nummers opnam met producer Rick Parashar in de London Bridge studio te Seattle. Aan dat nummer werd later een nieuwe gitaarsolo (voor aan het eind van het nummer) van Mike McCready toegevoegd. De overige nummers op het album werden in maart en april 1991 opgenomen tijdens de officiële opnames. Mike McCready werd voor deze solo geinspireerd door Ace Frehley van Kiss.
 Eddie Vedder schreef het nummer Oceans toen hij tijdens een regenbui buitengesloten was van de opnamestudio. Hij was naar buiten gegaan om muntgeld in de parkeermeter te stoppen. Toen hij vanuit binnen muziek hoorde begon Vedder teksten te schrijven op basis van de baslijn.
 Op het nummer Oceans is een pepermolen en brandblusser te horen die Tim Palmer gebruikte tijdens het afronden van de nummers in de Engelse Ridge Farm Studio in juni 1991. Hij was te ver van een muziekwinkel en ging daarom improviseren.
 Even Flow bleek ontzettend moeilijk om een goede opname van te maken. Volgens Mike McCready was het een nachtmerrie en deed de band teminste 50 pogingen. Volgens hem is Stone Gossard nog steeds niet tevreden met dat eindresultaat. Voor de Singles soundtrack nam Pearl Jam een nieuwe versie op met de nieuwe drummer Dave Abbruzzese.
 De coverfoto van het album heeft op de achtergrond de letters 'Pearl Jam' in daadwerkelijk formaat. Dat was een creatie van bassist Jeff Ament. De foto is van Lance Mercer.
 Platenmaatschappij Epic wilde Black als single uitgeven na de successen van Alive, Even Flow en Jeremy. De band weigerde echter vanwege het persoonlijke karakter van het nummer en omdat ze "geen hits wilden schrijven". Radiozenders besloten daarom het albumnummer te draaien waardoor het op plek drie terecht kwam van de Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1993.
 Ten werd oorspronkelijk niet op vinyl uitgebracht vanwege de hogere kosten daarvan in vergelijking tot een CD. Die uitgave kwam pas in november 1994 op hetzelfde moment dat Vitalogy op vinyl werd uitgegeven.
 Doordat het debuutalbum Some Gave All van Billy Ray Cyrus zeventien weken lang op nummer 1 van de Billboard 200 bleef staan voorkwam het dat Ten de hoogste positie bereikte. Het album van Pearl Jam stond viermaal op de tweede plek (in augustus, september en oktober 1991).

thanks in advance

A: In react, setState is asynchronous, so when you call "setOffers" it is an asyncronous action.
Therefore when you call console.log, offers might not be updated yet.
You can read more about it here:
https://reactjs.org/docs/faq-state.html#when-is-setstate-asynchronous
To listen to the value of "offers" you might need to use useEffect
An example

const [offers, setOffers] = useState({}) //THIS IS THE STATE

const search = async (e) => {
  e.preventDefault()
  const options = {
    url: 'localhost:8080/api/search',
    method: 'POST',

January was a better income month than expected but our expense exceeded our income (see spreadsheet screenshot).
Our total income in January was $14.905.77. In addition to our regular paychecks, I received a monthly/quarterly combined bonus of $3,458.33 gross ($2,579.37 net) and a $450 auto allowance. My wife also received a bonus of $2,804.69 gross ($1,579.75 net), a $681.67 auto allowance / mileage reimbursement, and $44.99 in reimbursements. We earned $12.32 in interest income from our savings accounts.
This month, our expenses totaled $15,874.39. Lower than last month but too high for our income this month. Big ticket items include $685 in annual life insurance, $547 in medical/dental visits, and $442.07 in clothing/accessories.


On February 25, 2015 a semi-truck carrying a load of sand was westbound on HWY87, when the driver became distracted and collided with a pick-up truck at the intersection of HWY87 and Kenworthy Road. GRICUA Linemen Rey Rascon and Sam Jimenez (pictured above left to right) witnessed the accident. They grabbed their first aid kit and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) unit and with the help of another bystander, they got the driver out of the pick-up truck and started administering CPR. "Sam and Rey did some beautiful CPR. As a result of their effort there was a treatable rhythm on the patient and we were able to treat him and transport him. Without their great effort the patient would not have been able to be taken to the hospital." said Rob Jarvis, Coolidge Fire Chief. Rey Rascon and Sam Jimenez were recognized for their efforts on March 9, 2015 by the Coolidge City Council and they each received a Certificate of Heroism.

IPAC wants no delay in conduct of Lagos LG polls
The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Lagos State has advised Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu to set machinery in motion for the conduct local government elections, with the tenure of incumbent elected officials expiring in July.
The state IPAC Chairman, Mr James Adeshina, told newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos that organising the elections in good time would help to deepen democracy.
Adeshina was reacting to insinuations that the state would not conduct council elections in 2021 since there was no provision for such exercise in 2021 budget of the state.
He said that IPAC members would not support appointment of sole administrators or caretaker committee to run the country.
Adeshina, also the Lagos State Chairman of African Action Congress (AAC), said: "We are aware that the tenure of these outgoing chairmen of local governments is going to expire by July.
"So, if there will be an election, what the law says is that there must be a 90-day notification and preparations by LASIEC ( Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission) before an election can hold.
"We are still waiting for the office of the Governor to respond and brief IPAC on the preparations for the upcoming election.
"In the capacity of IPAC, we have written about two letters requesting to hear from the Governor on the upcoming election but we are yet to get any feedback whatsoever."
He urged the governor to encourage an inclusive government, saying there was the need for the election to hold.
"What some of the members of IPAC are saying is that they do not want imposition of caretaker committee to run the councils at the expiration of the tenure of the incumbents who have been in power since 2017.
"They want to participate in the grassroots election and have their candidates represented in the governance of Lagos State.
"We are not going to support appointment of sole administrators or caretaker committee. IPAC members want the election to hold," Adeshina said.
He urged the governor to deepen democracy by allowing the election to hold as and when due in a free and fair atmosphere to encourage other political parties.
The IPAC chief said that any situation to entrench a one party system would not be good in a democracy.
He, however, said that the LASIEC had given the IPAC an assurance during a meeting that it was prepared for the polls.

Ingenious Lighting Concept for Hamburg's Newest Theatre
November 23rd 2014 saw the international premiere of the musical Das Wunder von Bern ('The Miracle of Bern') at the newly built Stage Theater an der Elbe - making it a fitting companion for the Theater im Hafen Hamburg, where the German version of The Lion King the musical has been playing since 2001. Audiences and critics have both given the new football-themed musical a warm welcome. Yet it isn't just the plot, performers and musicians that have won them over - groundbreaking lighting technology developed by Philips has also played its part.
Fohhn fills Hamburg's Michel with the Ten Commandments
'Michel' is the nickname of one of Hamburg's most treasured symbols, and it's not just the residents of the port city who know and love St Michael's Church. So it was that in September, the church was chosen as the backdrop for a very special musical experience. Lyricist Michael Kunze and composer Dieter Falk presented the biblical musical "Die 10 Gebote" (The Ten Commandments) to an audience of 2,000. To make sure the music struck the right tone, audio specialists Fohhn installed its world-famous Beam Steering Technologie.
"The Three Investigators": The Audio of Tomorrow, Today!
It's not just 3D displays that have been pushing into the mainstream over the last few years – three-dimensional sound is one of the hottest audio trends. Way back at Prolight + Sound 2012, Fraunhofer IDMT introduced its ATMOSPHEA sound system for creating custom room acoustics. A couple of years ago, this ground-breaking new technology was installed for the first time anywhere in the world, in Hamburg Planetarium, to give visitors an unforgettable audio experience. Now there's going to be another world premiere: Germany's most successful series of audio dramas, Die drei ??? (The Three Investigators), is about to begin a unique 3D sound adventure there.
"Rocky – The Musical": a phenomenal success with Meyer Sound
Sylvester Stallone celebrated his life's successes with the "Rocky" film series. "Rocky - The Musical", based upon the film, is now doing the same. The show has been playing in the Hamburger Operettenhaus for the past year. According to the New York Times, it is convincing because it combines the intimate and the epic. The acoustics play an important role, too. Meyer Sound knows what it takes.

Looking ahead to the second half
By Craig CalcaterraJul 11, 2019, 9:20 AM EDT
There's only one game tonight — Houston vs. Texas — so it may not feel like the All-Star break is over until tomorrow, but officially speaking the second half of the 2019 baseball season begins today. Let's take a look at where we stand as the regular season's final two and a half months or so gets underway.
Do we even have races? Yes and no.
Five of the majors' six divisions feature first place teams with five and a half games or more and the Dodgers lead the NL West by a whopping 13.5 games. The one division that is close — the NL Central — is close by virtue of its putatively top three teams more or less sucking eggs for the past month and a half or so, with Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Louis all failing to gain any traction while, luckily, not losing much ground. Only four and a half games separate the entire division, top to bottom.
Still, there is some reason to believe that things might get a bit more competitive down the stretch.
The Minnesota Twins spent most of the first half with a substantial lead over the disappointing — and favored — Cleveland Indians, but Cleveland has come on strong of late. The Indians hit the All-Star break with a six-game winning streak and are 22-9 since June 1. That, along with some recent scuffling by the Twins, has cut the Twins' once seemingly insurmountable 11.5-game lead to a far more manageable five and a half. That could be cut down even more this weekend when Minnesota comes to Cleveland for a three-game series.
The Washington Nationals have similarly righted their once foundering ship, going 23-9 in June and July to move up from fourth place into second place in the NL East. They are still six behind the Braves, who have remained strong, but they have overtaken the Phillies who were favored by some to rule the NL East in 2019. They also play Atlanta 14 times in the second half including seven games in July. It could be moving time for the talented Nats.
Similarly, over in the American League West, the Oakland Athletics, once 12 games back of the Astros, are a more reasonable seven and a half. They travel to Houston a week from Monday and will look to make their move.
The Wild Card is, as usual, something of a mess. Less so in the American League where there are only five non-division leaders over .500 it's not terribly difficult to separate them into camps of contenders (Tampa Bay, Boston, Cleveland, Oakland and perhaps Texas) and pretenders (everyone else). In the National League, however, there are nine teams either in Wild Card position or within four and a half games of being so. The situation will likely remain as clear as mud until at least September.
The Trade Deadline
At the outset, let us be reminded that the trade deadline is different this year than it has been in the past. It's a hard deadline now, with trade waivers eliminated. As such, no players able to be traded after July 31. If a player is placed on outright waivers, clears them and signs with another team he can appear in the postseason if he's on the new team's roster by September 1, but there will no longer be Justin Verlander-style August trades of star players to contenders.
That means teams will be forced to make some earlier decisions. Which, given how many teams are at least within striking distance of a Wild Card slot, makes some of those decisions difficult ones. Generally speaking, though, I think the buyers and the sellers break down thusly:
Buyers: Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, Twins, Astros, Athletics, Braves, Nationals, Phillies, Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs, Dodgers;
Sellers: Blue Jays, Orioles, Royals, Tigers, Mariners, Marlins, Mets, Giants;
Unclear: Indians, White Sox, Angels, Rangers, Pirates, Reds, Diamondbacks, Padres, Rockies
The buyer/seller breakdown is pretty straightforward, with obvious contenders buying and teams going nowhere selling. That third group of teams is hard to figure.
The Indians, as noted above, are contending — they're in playoff position right now, actually — but they are rumored to be open to trading Trevor Bauer. As we discussed the other day dealing him could be characterized as a white flag trade or it could be characterized as a bold move to rejigger the roster with more offense for the playoff push. Either way, they could simultaneously be unloading talent to contenders, making them a seller, and acquiring talent for the home stretch.
Most of the rest of those clubs are in a weird middle ground where, on the surface they are in contention, but did not enter the season seemingly set up to contend. The Reds, for example, are only four and a half out in the Central, but they are widely expected to deal Yasiel Puig. But . . . what if in two weeks they have surged while the rest of the Central has faltered? Same goes for the putatively rebuilding Rangers who have surprised. The White Sox and Padres are on the rise but are building for something more in the future which could cut either way at the deadline. The Diamondbacks have sent mixed signals as to their intentions for much of the year. The Rockies are on a win-now footing but they have pretty consistently chosen not to improve themselves in ways that would seem to make sense. All of which is to say: who knows?
As for the top players available, relievers, as always, will be the most heavily-trafficked commodity. Leading that long list is Giants closer Will Smith, who the Dodgers covet, making for a very, very rare deal between historic rivals. The Padres' Kirby Yates might also be had. Other relievers on the block include Tony Watson and Sam Dyson of the Giants, Jake Diekman of the Royals, Shane Greene of the Tigers, Alex Colome of the White Sox and Mychal Givens of the Orioles. Some have argued that a team would do well to acquire Orioles starter Andrew Cashner and move him to the bullpen as well. Though, to be fair, people have been saying that since his days with the Padres and no one has ever gotten around to doing it.
Sexier than the relievers are the starting pitchers on the block. The big name is the Giants Madison Bumgarner who would be a strong addition to any contender, even if he'd cost a lot to acquire. The Jays' Marcus Stroman is likewise available and the native New Yorker has made no secret of his desire to join the Yankees. Mike Minor was talked about as a top trade target for much of the first half but, as noted, the Rangers have exceeded expectations and may not want to part with him as easily as previously suspected. Matthew Boyd of the Tigers could be had. Tanner Roark of the Reds and Jordan Lyles of the Pirates technically pitch for contenders based on the standings, but whether their front offices actually believe it enough to keep them off the market is an open question. If their respective clubs choose to eat a big portion of their big contracts it wouldn't be crazy to see Danny Duffy of the Royals and Jeff Samardzija of the Giants bandied about in trade rumors.
There aren't a ton of impact position players available, but look for their to be discussions about outfielders and free agents to be Yasiel Puig and Nicholas Castellanos of the Reds and Tigers, respectively, first baseman Justin Smoak of the Blue Jays and, perhaps, Whit Merrifield of the Royals. Pablo Sandoval has quietly had an excellent season in San Francisco, though given how he fared the last time he left the Bay Area it would not be shocking for contenders to be wary. Melky Cabrera is still chugging along and is hitting pretty well this year so the Pirates might see fit to send him to his ninth big league team. Dee Gordon of the Mariners might interest some contenders due to his speed and defensive versatility. The Orioles trading Trey Mancini might further demoralize an already demoralized fan base, but it might get them a nice haul as well.
Homers and the Battle for Individual Awards
Major league batters are on pace to hit 6,668 homers, which would shatter the record of 6,105 hit in 2017. While everyone is hitting big flies, it seems, and a few hitters — Christian Yelich, Cody Bellinger, Pete Alonso, Mike Trout — project to 50 dingers or more if their current home run rates and health hold up.
Those homers — and their status as the big bats on contenders — makes Yelich and Bellinger the top candidates for the NL MVP Award. If they falter — and their teams surge into the playoffs — look for Ronald Acuña Jr., Freddie Freeman, Kris Bryant and Anthony Rendon to join the conversation as well.
In the American League we'll end up having the same conversation we always have in which everyone acknowledges that Mike Trout is easily the best baseball player on the planet yet strains to find reasons not to give him the MVP hardware. Look for D.J. LeMahieu, Matt Chapman, Alex Bregman and Jorge Polanco all to get that kind of heat. If one of them or someone else goes on a serious tear in September while Trout remains merely, boringly amazing, I'm sure Trout will, once again, finish in second place. And we'll all look back on it one day, shake our head and laugh.
As for the Cy Young Award, Mike Minor of the Rangers, Charlie Morton of the Rays, Lucas Giolito of the White Sox and, as always, Justin Verlander of the Astros currently look to be in the conversation. The National League Cy Young race looks way sexier, though, with Max Scherzer's dominant past month or two thrusting him into a nice race with the Dodgers Hyun-Jin Ryu. The overpowering future Hall of Famer or the finesse guy with pinpoint control? It's a classic battle.
The Rookie of the Year race is not much of a race in the National League: they may as well give it to Pete Alonso now and save everyone some time at the awards banquet next winter. I suppose Fernando Tatís Jr. has an argument — and he's a fantastic player — but his stint on the injured list early in the season probably ended his chances at anything other than a second place finish. In the AL, Brandon Lowe of the Rays seems like the man to beat, though you can be forgiven if you haven't noticed that Orioles starter John Means has been fantastic this year as well.
If you care about the always-hard-to-figure Manager of the Year Award, just know that it usually goes to the guy whose team the so-called experts underestimated in the preseason. As such, it would not be at all shocking if Rocco Baldelli of the Twins wins it in the AL with Chris Woodward of the Rangers following him. If those surprise teams both falter the votes tend to fall back to giving it to the manager of the best team and/or the manager of the team which overcame injury and/or adversity. Put Aaron Boone of the Yankees in that picture on both counts. The NL is lacking in true surprise teams this year so figure Dave Roberts of the Dodgers to be the front runner.
So that's where we stand on the last day without baseball until playoff off-days in October. We have that one game in Texas tonight and a full slate on tap for the weekend. Welcome to the second half.

Ulrica Fearn
Equinor appoints new chief financial officer
By Mark Lammey
Equinor has appointed Ulrica Fearn as its chief financial officer (CFO) and executive vice president, with effect from 16 June 2021.


Richard Alpert must show great leadership as well as make a bold decision and choose Faraday for the promotion as head of the managing VP despite his slightly low performance when compared to Pace. Pace uses a performance-enhancing drug of Adderall that creates unfair competition to colleagues and competitors (Harris & Mead, 2012).
Richard Alpert should meet personally (privately) and discuss the concern that he has about Pace use of Adderall. The discussion should be objective where each party should present their views and positions including the reason Alpert should consider the promotion of Faraday. This approach would give both parties an opportunity to understand each other better and the impact that such actions has not only to Pace but also the colleagues and competitors as a whole. Furthermore, the possible impact that the company might have when such information becomes public that might tarnish the image and name of the company. It would also assert whether Pace knows the short and long-term impacts of using such drugs or not, and provide an opportunity for change.
Richard Alpert should convene an urgent meeting of all employees and introduce a policy of a drug-free environment where employees would be screened for drug use. It would also provide an opportunity and platform to educate the entire employees of the impacts that performance-enhancing drugs have to their lives, colleagues and competitors and possible legal and moral impacts. It would provide a long-term solution to the problem where employees can also educate those close to them about the concerns of drugs.
The best approach is for Richard Albert to meet personally and discuss with Pace about the concern so that the two parties might understand each other better and possible reasons why Pace is taking such moves and the impacts that it has to all the concerned stakeholders in the Evergreen company. It is also because of the limited time constraints that he has before he makes the decision.

Exposure to asbestos is prevalent in many occupations, making the workplace dangerous for hundreds of thousands of Americans just by stepping in the door every morning. Painters face that same risk, working in areas where they may be exposed to dangerous asbestos particles on the job. Because of the nature of their work, they're exposed to asbestos both in many of the places the work, but also by some of the materials they work with.
Asbestos was considered a wonder-material throughout the 20th century, a multi-purpose building material that was coveted for its strength, durability, and resistance to heat, fire, and electricity. It was used to insulate pipes and machinery, woven together into fiber boards to create flame-retardant drywall, and added to household products like toasters to prevent fires. For painters, danger didn't just lurk in the walls. Asbestos was used in sealants and putties used to maintain walls before painting, as well as in some of the materials used to create textures. Some paints also contained the deadly material.
The use of asbestos throughout the twentieth century was widespread, being employed in by most industries from manufacturing to shipbuilding. For a time, the United States government even mandated its use on naval ships to prevent on-board fires. As workers began to complain of difficulty breathing and lung ailments, doctors began linking these symptoms with asbestos. However, it would be decades before the general public became aware of the connection. In 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency finally enacted the Asbestos Ban and Phase Out rule, rendering the use of asbestos illegal. However, it was overturned in 1991, and asbestos became legal again, this time in trace amounts under strict government regulation.
When microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled, they become lodged in the mesothelium, a protective membrane that lines the lungs. This lining, which allows the lungs to expand and contract, thereby enabling breathing, begins to fill with fluid, causing respiratory problems. Tissue scarring can also occur, leading to the development of further asbestos diseases.
Because of a long latency period, which means that symptoms of asbestos don't appear until years or even decades after the exposure, diagnosing asbestos diseases is difficult. The most deadly of them, the cancer mesothelioma, is usually not detected until it has reached advanced stages. As no cure has yet been discovered for mesothelioma, doctors can only give palliative treatments designed to comfort patients and relieve painful symptoms.
Surgery is the most effective method of tumor removal, but because of the location relative to the lungs, as well as the general health of the patient by the time diagnosis is made, this is often a difficult procedure. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are also common methods of treatment, targeting cancerous cells and killing them with drugs and powerful x-rays, respectively. As researchers learn more about this elusive disease, alternative methods of treatment are being developed to offer doctors the greatest advantage for ending the spread of the malignant cells. This alternative therapy, usually in experimental form, is available to patients at cancer centers, where research is conducted to find out what is effective and what isn't.

Homeless stars, endless spaghetti and amplified farts: the comedians of TikTok
By Brian Logan
I'm used to consuming jokes and sketches as part of shows, as components of a bigger whole. But that experience leaves me rudderless on TikTok, where comedy is often conveyed in free-floating skits and blink-and-you'll-miss-them stings. YouTube sketches are Infinite Jests by comparison.
Ah, but "the shorter the video, the more you can condense your comedy into bite-size, shareable chunks", according to one guide to TikTok comedy, suggesting that humour on the platform is as often about brand development as it is about making people laugh.
Undaunted, I plunged into comedy on the platform, armed only with my daughter's top tips, some online guides and the app's own algorithms. All three steered me directly to Khabane Lame. A TikToker only since March 2020, when he lost his job in a Turin factory, Lame is quite the Mr Bean of social media, wooing his 116m followers with wordless videos of himself responding to other people's life-hacks.

The joke – performing an obviously more simple solution to the problem, then staring down the viewer with a "What was all the fuss about?" expression – is an effective one, which is just as well given Lame delivers it over and over again.
Wordlessness is a virtue on TikTok, where the default routine comprises a caption set-up ("When white moms don't like each other") and a visual, musical or lip-synced punchline. Sarah Cooper made the leap from TikTok to Netflix last year after the success of her potted Donald Trump lip-sync videos. The very likable Anglo-Somali TikToker Akafi Ali uses lip-sync in his skits, including many filmed in his Sainsbury's uniform, acting up about customer behaviour. He no longer works in a supermarket, having been poached by the BBC.
If TikTok is notable for these rags-to-riches trajectories, it differs in other eye-catching ways from live, or even TV, comedy. There's a preponderance of beautiful performers, or performers who beautify themselves – perhaps because there's slippage between the roles of comedian, influencer and salesperson. But it's also a more diverse landscape. With 11m followers, Ehiz Ufuah is one of UK TikTok's biggest comic stars, regularly (over)reacting to other people's videos for lolz. He also built that profile while living with his mum in emergency accommodation for homeless people. Southampton's Kyron Hamilton, 23, has racked up truckloads of views for his shrewdly observed classroom caricatures: "Them teachers who think they are funny" or "Teachers when Ofsted are in".
His is a recognisable character comedy talent, transferable beyond TikTok's rigid confines. You could say the same of Bristol's Abi Clarke, who already works as a standup, and made a TikTok splash with DIY, Catherine Tate-alike sketches about office workers Jill and Tracey. The onward comedy career of Chinese-American pranksters the Stokes Twins is less easy to guarantee. A stunt bank robbery video of theirs in 2019 led to criminal charges. Having now watched clips of the twins amplifying their farts through steel piping, I think they got off lightly with 160 hours of community service.
There's plenty of such first-base humour on TikTok: that's comedy democracy in action. But there's plenty to get excited about, too. Singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt's comedy songs about Scottishness, including a neat take on Olivia Rodrigo's Driver's License, might have been made for me. There are terrific sketches on Egyptian-American Adam Waheed's TikTok, like the visual gags about the endless spaghetti and (the same gag, amusingly repurposed) the endless queue for the shop, or the one about the hoops you have to jump through to enter an Arab household.
They're as funny as anything I've seen on the great sketch shows of yore. And – what do you know? – they've secured Waheed deals with T-Mobile, Lyft and Adidas.

John Gerns, the President of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) announced that professor Dragan Primorac, former Minister of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia has been appointed Chair of International Affairs Committee of the American Academy of Forensic Science. The announcement has been made during The AAFS 68th Annual Scientific Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, February 28, 2016 with a more than 5,000 conference attendees. Professor Dragan Primorac also met Mrs. Sally Quillian Yates, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States who gave introductory lecture during AAFS opening ceremony.
The American Academy of Forensic Sciences is a multi-disciplinary professional organization that provides leadership to advance science and its application to the legal system. The objectives of the Academy are to promote professionalism, integrity, competency, education, foster research, improve practice, and encourage collaboration in the forensic sciences.
Since 1948, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) has served a distinguished and diverse membership. Its over 7,000 members are divided into eleven sections spanning the forensic enterprise. Included among the Academy's members are judges, physicians, attorneys, dentists, toxicologists, anthropologists, document examiners, digital evidence experts, psychiatrists, physicists, engineers, criminalists, educators, and others. Representing all 50 United States, Canada, and 70 other countries worldwide, they actively practice forensic science and, in many cases, teach and conduct research in the field as well. As a professional society dedicated to the application of science to the law, the AAFS is committed to the promotion of education and the elevation of accuracy, precision, and specificity in the forensic sciences. It does so via the Journal of Forensic Sciences (its internationally recognized scientific journal), newsletters, its annual scientific meeting, the conduct of webinars and meetings, and the initiation of actions and reactions to various issues of concern.
