Traffic an issue for developer in Warrington
Peg Quann Staff writer
Long-term Warrington residents grilled engineers representing a housing developer during the second hearing into proposed changes to the township's zoning laws Tuesday needed for the Warrington Run development to proceed.
When several residents were told that the traffic study presented by the developer, Metropolitan Development Group, did not take into account other nearby proposed housing communities, supervisor Chairman Gerald Anderson said supervisors would want to know that information before they would make a decision on the zoning changes.
"The board will be asking for additional information," Anderson said.
More than 100 people attended the hearing before township supervisors at Central Bucks High School South because of the size of the audience.
Metropolitan is proposing to build 90 upscale single-family homes on approximately one-quarter acre lots on the site of the Geerling's Sunlit Farms nursery in the western end of the township. To do so, the developer wants the township's Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations amended to permit R2 zoning in the RA area where 3 acres is the minimum lot size for non-clustered homes.
It also wants reductions in the front and rear setback requirements from 35 and 30 feet respectively to 25 feet. They also want the Geerling tract removed from a Rural Holding Area and included in a Staged Growth Area.
The developer's civil engineer Sam Costanzo and traffic engineer Greg Bogia took many questions about traffic, the density of the houses and environmental concerns.
John and Carol Rice, who live in a neighborhood near the proposed development, said they are concerned that more than 500 new homes are planned for the area near the Warrington Run development, and that it's only entrances are both on Street Road. During a break in the hearing, John Rice said he didn't like that many residents trying to get on Street Road in the event of an emergency. "How will people get out," he asked.
But a resident of the Legacy Oaks age-restricted development adjacent to the Geerling tract said most residents there would welcome the new development as a better alternative to the mulching operation going on at the 46-acre farm now.
"A lot support the development because the mulch is polluting our air," said Margaret Strohbeck. She said dust constantly covers her home, and her neighbor can't sit outside because her asthma acts up.
The zoning will be continued at a later date before the supervisors decide on the case, said Supervisor John Paul during a break in the proceeding.


I used to use the plugin in 3dsmax 2010 and there were no crashes then....I use the plugin for urban scenes, it is really great, but now I don't know what do to, Please help!
I'm sorry by the problems, but ColorEdge is an old plugin and probably it requires a full rewrite.
Unfortunately at this moment we are too busy with Forest Pack and RailClone, and providing support for them. We have not resources to work in our free plugins.
I know this an old topic but whatever - if you're using VRay, trying enabling "MAX-compatible ShadeContext" in your render settings->Settings tab.
Thanks for the tip George.
By the way, we released an update for ColorEdge some time ago. So these crashes should be fixed in the current release.

Romford Recorder > News
Romford pub faces backlash after refusal to serve heroes
Lee-Ann Richards
Published: 12:00 AM November 15, 2012 Updated: 12:14 PM October 13, 2020
A Romford pub is facing a public backlash after the Recorder revealed it refused to serve soldiers following a homecoming parade.
The Recorder's website and Facebook page have been inundated with messages from residents angry that staff from The Bull pub, in Market Place, told soldiers that they were "not allowed to serve squaddies".
A spokesman for the pub apologised and said it had been in contact with a soldier involved and invited him to the pub with his family and friends.
Beverely Griffiths, wrote on the Recorder's website: "To the staff at the Bull. Shame on you. You are going to have to do something amazing for this regiment and make it public if you are ever to get over this immensely poor lack of judgement."
The parade on Tuesday November 6 - Remembrance week - was part of celebrations for the battalion being given the Freedom of the Borough.
A spokesman for the regiment confirmed soldiers were given permission by their commanding officer to visit the pub.
Denise Coe told the Recorder last week: "What is the point of them having the Freedom of the Borough when the soldiers can't even go to get a drink in a pub in the town?"
But one resident urged people not to let the incident overshadow the pub's past good work.
Isabella Smith wrote on Facebook: "The manager was not on the premises at the time of the incident, otherwise it would not have happened. Please don't let this unfortunate mistake take away from all the good work The Bull and the regular customers do for the community."

Home Crossrail delays likely to hit expected home cost increase along London route
Crossrail delays likely to hit expected home cost increase along London route
Roger Lentil | Apr 26, 2019 | Property
A delay to the Crossrail, the new transport line for London, could return property costs increments along its route, new research suggests.It has been affirmed that the route from east to west between Shenfield in Essex and Reading, formally called the Elizabeth Line, which had been because of open in December 2018, may now be postponed until one year from now or even 2021.There has been a lot of analysis showing the property prices near stations have already risen as a result of the major infrastructure project, but now it is being suggested that the final phase of price growth will also be delayed.Research by estate agent comparison website GetAgent has taken a gander at the effect Crossrail has had on the property market.It says that when construction first started on the project in May 2009, the average house price around areas due to benefit with a Crossrail station was £305,442.Throughout the following nine years, cost development along the route rise altogether by 95%, an expansion of 0.8% for every one of the 112 months, putting the new normal property cost at £595,061.However, in September 2018 it was then announced that the delivery of the project would be delayed and in the months that followed to January 2019, the latest data available, the average house price surrounding Crossrail stations has fallen by 3.1%.

Home health agencies (HHAs) can breathe a sigh of relief now that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have published a Final Rule delaying the effective date of the revised Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoP) published earlier this year. The effective date is now January 13, 2018.
CMS issued a proposed rule in April seeking comments on the new effective date (see our prior blog) and received favorable responses from a large number of HHAs, which reported that the revised CoP include numerous changes that require time for planning, testing, training and implementation. For example, the new CoP revise personnel qualification requirements, add new patient rights and impose new quality assessment and infection control obligations on HHAs.
In addition, the new CoP require HHAs to undertake data-driven performance improvement projects (PIPs). When CMS first issued the revised CoP in January, it had provided a six-month phase-in period for these PIPs in recognition of the time it would take HHAs to collect the data necessary to identify areas for performance improvement. CMS has stated that it continues to believe that a phase-in period is appropriate and has set an effective date of July 13, 2018, for the new PIPs. HHAs are advised to begin identifying areas for improvement now so that they can implement effective PIPs next July.
The Final Rule also addresses some commenters' concerns about the release of updated Interpretive Guidelines for HHAs. (The current Guidelines can be found in Appendix B of the Medicare State Operations Manual.) CMS has stated that revisions to reflect the new CoP are currently underway and that it expects to release a preliminary draft for informal input in the fall of 2017, with a final version available in December 2017. However, CMS cautions that a delay in the release of revised Interpretive Guidelines would not require a further delay of the effective date of the CoP.
For more information on how the new CoP affect HHAs in Connecticut, please contact Karen A. Jeffers (kjeffers@pullcom.com), Margaret A. Bartiromo (mbartiromo@pullcom.com) or Karen P. Wackerman (kwackerman@pullcom.com).

Humanoid (Dungeons & Dragons)
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, humanoid is a type of creature, or "creature type". Humanoids are any creature shaped generally like a human (two arms, two legs, one head, or a humanlike torso, arms, and head), of Small or Medium size. Most humanoids can speak, and usually have well-developed societies.
Humanoids are similar in form to monstrous humanoids and giants, but are treated as a different type of creature. Additionally, many Fey and Outsiders share the humanoid form.
Prior to 3rd edition, humanoid referred exclusively to orcs, goblinoids and similar creatures, while more advanced creatures such as Elves and Dwarves were referred to as demihumans, and humans were outside both categories.
The following creatures are considered humanoids in at least one edition of Dungeons & Dragons, or they are very humanoid-looking creatures even if they don't have the actual "humanoid" type.

Miniatures Handbook
Usually Chaotic Neutral
The catfolk are a race of humanoid felines (similar to Rakshasas and Tabaxi).
Catfolk resemble a cross between a large predatory cat and a human, with a sleekly muscled humanoid body and the head and mane of a feline. Most male catfolk wear their thick hair in braids, while females keep theirs short and sleek. The most common catfolk have feline characteristics reminiscent of lions, including thick manes for the males. Other groups have the characteristic markings and appearance of leopards, tigers, or cheetahs. Catfolk have thicker nails than other humanoids, but not the powerful claws of their feline counterparts, and they make unarmed attacks just like humans. They have the habit of leaping impulsively out of hiding and into combat when a foe is in the vicinity.
Many catfolk favor the use of charms and totems that they braid into their hair for luck in battle, success on the hunt, and good fortune in other such endeavors.

Mul[edit]
This article is about the fictional fantasy race. For the king, see Mul of Kent. For the Indian car maker, see Maruti Udyog.
Muls are a mixed-breed offspring of humans and dwarves in the Dark Sun campaign setting.[1] The term mul is derived from "mule" which are sterile hybrids, and as such the word is meant to be pronounced in the same manner (rhyming with "rule" rather than "dull").[citation needed] The fourth edition Dark Sun Campaign Setting manual states that while the polite pronunciation rhymes with "dull", the pronunciation rhyming with "yule" is often used derogatorily.[2] Muls are commonly used for slave labor.[3]
A mul is a powerful crossbreed of a human and dwarf, most often born into slavery on command of its parents' owner, as it is a naturally great warrior, bred for combat. They are also highly prized as heavy laborers, due to their ability to perform massive amounts of labor on relatively little rest. In 2nd edition, muls were explicitly sterile, but in 4th edition material, this aspect of their biology has been dropped.
A mul gets what are, perhaps, the best attributes from each of its parents. From his human parent, he receives height and agility. From his dwarven parent, the mul gets incredible strength and endurance. At maturity, a mul stands as much as 6 1⁄2' tall, weighing 240–300 lbs. Each is fair skinned, though sometimes tending toward a coppery coloration. A mul's eyebrow ridges are pronounced, and the ears are usually pointed toward the back of the head; otherwise, facial features are basically human. Regardless of sex, most muls are naturally bald, but those who aren't usually shave their heads as a mark of racial unity. Since many muls are born into gladiatorial careers, tattoos of decoration and ownership are common.
The term "mul" has been unofficially adopted into other campaign settings for rare human-dwarf crossbreeds.[citation needed]
Nilbog[edit]
Nilbogs are a type of naturally-born but magical goblins that are healed by receiving damage and are damaged by healing spells.[4] Furthermore, they project a paradox area effect in whose radius every intended action is twisted so that the exact opposite is carried out (i.e.: instead of hitting a nilbog with a weapon, one might end up attacking a companion; or instead of plundering a treasure hoard, an adventuring party under the influence of "nilbogism" might actually end up adding their own wealth to it). The name of this sub-species is "goblin" spelled backward, a reference to this reversal of effects.
Norker[edit]
Further information: Norker
The Norkers are a race of humanoids that are distantly related to hobgoblins.
Orc[edit]
Further information: Orc (Dungeons & Dragons)
Orog[edit]
Orog
An Orog is a crossbreed between a male orc and a female ogre. Orogs usually live among orcs; they are stronger, more intelligent, and more highly disciplined than typical orcs.
Variants on the orog include the neo-orog and the ogrillon. The neo-orog is a specific orc-ogre crossbreed created by the Red Wizards of Thay to be used as elite soldiers. The ogrillion is the brutish, armor-skinned offspring of a female orc and a male ogre.
In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, orogs were an orc tribe who became cut off from their mountain home after a great attack into the civilized world, they eventually found a way into the Underdark and hid from their Elven and human enemies. They remained in the Underdark for thousands of years, fighting denizens of that terrible realm all the time. Eventually they became superior in strength and personality to normal mountain orcs.
Both orogs and ogrillions appear in BioWare's Baldur's Gate PC games.
Rakasta[edit]
Rakasta
The Isle of Dread (1981)
The Rakasta (not to be confused with a rakshasa) is a humanoid with a cat-like appearance. They typically live in warm climates, such as the Isle of Dread.
Rakasta appear to be anthropomorphic felines. They are often armed with kasa, a set of metal war claws which are worn over the paw like a glove.
A special caste of mounted knights ride tamed saber-toothed tigers into battle. These warriors serve as the personal guards to the chief. They are able to leap from their mounts while riding and attack.
An article in Dragon described various "tribes" of rakasta as resembling different species of feline, with the most numerous resembling the domestic cat, but others including Simbasta (lion-people), Sherkasta (tiger-people), and so on.
Originally exclusive to the Mystara campaign setting, rakasta were retconned into the World of Greyhawk setting when the Isle of Dread was updated for third edition. In the World of Greyhawk setting, the rakasta became extinct on the Isle of Dread some time ago.
Saurial[edit]
Saurial
Usually Neutral Good
The Saurial is a reptilian humanoid that resembles humanoid dinosaurs.
The bladeback saurial, the finhead saurial, the flyer saurial, and the hornhead saurial first appeared in the second edition for the Forgotten Realms setting in the Monstrous Compendium Forgotten Realms Appendix II (1991),[5] and reprinted in Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume Three (1996). The bladeback saurial, the finhead saurial, the flyer saurial, and the hornhead saurial appeared as player character races in The Complete Book of Humanoids (1993).[6] The finhead lacerial appeared in Polyhedron #129 (April 1998).
The bladeback saurial, the finhead saurial, the flyer saurial, and the hornhead saurial appeared as player character races in Dragon #292 (February 2002).
Saurials are usually neutral good in alignment. Their language is a combination of high-pitched sounds (outside the range of human hearing) and scents. Few other races are capable of speaking or understanding this language without magical aid, and most saurials are incapable of reproducing the common languages of other humanoid races, though they are intelligent enough to learn to understand them. One prominent saurial, Dragonbait, not only understands Common, but has learned the sign language known as "thieves' cant", allowing him to converse with non-saurials fluent in the cant.
There are four known species of saurial:
Bladebacks: Resembling a humanoid Stegosaurus. Bladebacks are social, straightforward, and slow to anger, often becoming village leaders.
Finheads: Has a curving crest on its head. It could be either a humanoid Brachiosaurus, Dilophosaurus, or Corythosaurus. Finheads are bright, active, curious, and emotional creatures. They are good with their hands and willing to work hard.
Flyers: Resembling a humanoid Pterosaur (very similar to the supposedly completely unrelated pterafolk). Flyers are nervous and noisy, irritable and often irritating to others. They are likely to flee from a fight if threatened. They love gossip spending time with people who will listen to them.
Hornheads: Somewhat halfway between a humanoid Triceratops and a Euoplocephalus. Hornheads are careful, rational planners, choosing their words carefully and loathing the taking of risks. They have an interest in alchemy, engineering, and other mental pursuits. They are the largest of the saurials.
Saurials were introduced originally in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting in the novel Azure Bonds and later detailed in the Serpent Kingdoms supplement book, though it has often been said they would be equally at home in such a place as the Talenta Plains in Eberron. In the Forgotten Realms, Saurials dwell in the Dalelands, in a hidden place known as the Lost Vale. They are said to have hailed from another world (possibly earth), and were stranded in Faerûn via the actions of the evil deity Moander. More intelligent than lizardfolk and inclined to be peaceful and civilized, the saurials have maintained a thriving community in near-complete isolation for nearly fifteen years. Tales of these so-called dragonfolk (though they are actually dinosaur-like) pervade many cultures, but few humans have actually seen them.

For the right person, an online genetic test can be both fun and useful. But for someone else, it might be overwhelming. Or even worse, reveal things they wish they hadn't learned.
The tricky part is figuring out whether a genetic test that can trace your ancestry, reveal potentially deadly disease risks or even teach you about some of your physical traits is right for you. Probably the best way to find out is by talking to a genetic counselor. They've thought through (and probably seen) all of the side effects of a genetic test. But most people don't do this.
Lots of people don't even know about genetic counselors. The ones that do may not want to be bothered or even realize such a talk might be helpful. If you don't have an inkling already about some of the pitfalls of a genetic test, why would you seek out counseling?
Another way that might help people decide if one of these tests is right for them would be to let them know what some of the unintended consequences of a genetic test might be. This is what we have tried to do with a set of animations we recently put up on our website. These short (less than two minute) animations are in no way exhaustive but they can give you a feel for a few of the potential pitfalls.
Now in this case Tina's friend's results didn't give any evidence either way about whether her dad was her biological dad (she'd need his results to confirm that). Still, the results were confusing enough that she needed reassurance from Tina.
And just because in this case the test didn't show her relationship to her father, that doesn't mean that these tests can't sometimes reveal a dad who isn't biologically related to his child. They can and they do. In fact, given that around 2% of men are in this situation, more and more people are going to find out their dad isn't related to them (or that a sister is actually a half-sister and so on) as more and more people get tested.
If Tina gets a positive result, should she tell her sister? If she does, then her sister will learn that she almost certainly has a 50% chance of having it as well. What if she didn't want to know?
Now we see the sisters dealing with survivor guilt, anger and who knows what else. Luckily they had a genetic counselor to help them deal with these issues. Not everyone who takes an online test will.
We also deal with a couple of other situations too. In one scenario, Tina is trying to decide whether to get an online test to see if she is a carrier for the genetic disease cystic fibrosis. And in the other Tina is trying to decide whether or not to get a genetic test for Alzheimer's disease. Neither decision is as easy as you think.
Don't get the wrong idea, none of these are designed to say online genetic tests are bad and you shouldn't take them. They can help you make informed choices like Angelina Jolie did recently when she tested positive for a DNA difference in her BRCA1 gene that significantly increased her risks for breast cancer. We wanted to make these videos so people could be introduced to a few of the potential pitfalls of these sorts of tests and so can make a better informed decision.
For example, I thought through these possibilities and none of them stopped me! I took a 23andMe test a few years back and couldn't be happier. It was so cool to see the instructions for me written in the genetic code.
The test also provided a huge amount of information about what my genes can tell me about my future disease risk. This is where someone who worries a lot might get very freaked out. Lots of diseases, lots of potential risk.
Since I have a background in genetics, I know to take most of this health risk data with a huge grain of salt. As a recent study showed, depending on the studies a company decides to include and the algorithm it uses to predict risk, you can end up with very different risks. Sometimes one company will say you are at an increased risk for a disease while another says you are a decreased risk.
So now it is up to you. Do you still want to take that online genetic test? After thinking it all through, I did.


Learn more about the Integrated Ticketing Systems and their pros and cons. Learn what makes them different from various other support channels.
There are several ways to touch base with the web hosting company whose services you're using, but the one that you'll always find no matter which company you choose is a trouble ticket system. It's the least complicated medium of correspondence for different reasons. In case no customer care team member is free at the moment and they are all busy, a telephone call may not be answered, but a ticket will invariably be received. You can also copy 'n' paste extensive pieces of info without the need to worry about misprints, and in case a certain problem needs more time to be solved or a number of replies have to be exchanged, all the information will be in the exact same location, so either party can always see the steps taken by the other one. The drawback of using tickets to contact your hosting provider is that they are typically separate from the web hosting platform, which implies that if you have to supply info or to adhere to directions, you will have to use no less than 2 different accounts and this number might increase in case you want to administer a handful of domains. Also, many hosting providers reply to tickets after a few hours, or even once in every 24 hours, and for you as a customer, this means wasted time while waiting around for a reply.
In stark contrast with what you may find with lots of other web hosting companies, the ticketing system that we are using with our cloud hosting is included in the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all hosting accounts. You won't have to memorize different sign-on names and passwords, since you will be able to manage both your tickets and the web hosting account itself from one location. So, if you've got a query or chance upon a problem, you can get in touch with our client support team on the spur of the moment. Our system includes a smart search option. This implies that even if you've opened a huge number of tickets over the years, you will be able to find the one that you need without any efforts. Furthermore, you can check knowledge base recommendations for tackling commonly met issues.
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all our semi-dedicated servers, was developed with one goal in mind – that you should be able to manage everything related to your semi-dedicated server account from one location and the trouble tickets make no exception. Our ticketing system is integrated into the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so, if you have a query or encounter a problem, you can contact our technical support staff straight away without having to sign in to another admin interface. You can look through your web files or check different settings within your account whilst opening a new ticket or reading the answer to an old one. In case you have many tickets and you'd like to track down a specific one, you can use the clever search option, which is available in the Help section of the Control Panel. We'll make sure you obtain a response in less than 60 minutes irrespective of the nature of your query or issue.

Der Bergfink oder Nordfink (Fringilla montifringilla) ist eine Singvogelart aus der Unterfamilie der Edelfinken (Fringillinae) innerhalb der Familie der Finken (Fringillidae). Unter den Finken zeigt er das ausgeprägteste Zugverhalten.

Aussehen
Der Bergfink ist mit 15 cm Körperlänge ein etwa sperlingsgroßer Fink. Im Winterhalbjahr zeigt der männliche Bergfink einen bräunlichgrau gefiederten Kopf, Nacken und Vorderrücken. Im Sommerhalbjahr sind diese dagegen schwarz. Brust und Schulterfleck sind orangefarben gefiedert. Am unteren Schwanz sowie am Bauch und an der Hinterbrust befindet sich weißes Gefieder.

Das Weibchen ist deutlich schlichter gefärbt. Es hat einen bräunlichen Kopf, bei dem sich dunkle Streifen auf dem Oberkopf befinden. Braun gefleckt ist auch der Rücken, und die Brust ist deutlich matter orange gefärbt als die des Männchens.

Stimme
Gesang – grob, laut trrrrrr (es ist dem Fragment des Gesanges Grünfink ähnlich). Der Schrei – heftig tschjää, während des Flugs – die kurzen Laute tk-tk.

Verbreitung

Der Bergfink grenzt an das Verbreitungsgebiet des Buchfinken an und ist vor allem in den skandinavischen Birkenwäldern beheimatet. Er ist von Norwegen bis nach Kamtschatka verbreitet. In Europa findet man diesen Vogel bis an die südliche Grenze von Norwegen, Mittelschweden, Südfinnland sowie im nördlichen und mittleren Russland. Nur in Ausnahmefällen brüten Bergfinken auch in Mitteleuropa.

In seinem Verbreitungsgebiet ist der Bergfink neben dem Fitis der häufigste Brutvogel. Während der Zugzeit verlässt er sein Brutgebiet vollständig. Er ist dann in Mitteleuropa in den verschiedensten Lebensräumen anzutreffen. Man findet ihn vor allem in Wäldern mit Buchenbeständen; so z. B. im schwäbischen Schönbuch. Zum Nächtigen fallen die Vögel dann in der Abenddämmerung oft wochenlang lokal in Millionenschwärmen in bestimmte Fichtenforste ein. So im Hochwinter 2010 bis zum 17. März im Hotzenwald bei Görwihl und ab ca. 19. Dezember 2014 mindestens einen Monat lang im Südbadischen zwischen Schopfheim und dem Ort Hasel am Ostrand des Landkreises Lörrach – beobachtet, fotografiert und gefilmt von tausenden Interessierten, auch aus der Schweiz. Bergfinken sind in dieser Zeit gelegentlich auch an Futterplätzen zu beobachten, wo sie mit Vorliebe Sonnenblumenkerne verzehren.

Nahrung
Ähnlich wie der Buchfink lebt der Bergfink während der Sommerzeit von Insekten und Wirbellosen. Im Winterhalbjahr frisst er vor allem Sämereien, wobei Bucheckern darunter einen großen Anteil ausmachen.

Jagd

Von alters her bis zum Verbot der Vogeljagd 1908 wurde in der Südpfalz des Nachts Jagd auf Bergfinken mit Hilfe von Blasrohren und Tonkugeln gemacht. Die Tiere saßen dicht nebeneinander auf den Zweigen der Kiefern und Fichten. Wurde ein Vogel vom Baum geschossen, so sind die anderen Tiere wieder zusammengerückt, um die Lücke zu schließen. Somit waren die Bergfinken leichte Beute.

In der Südpfalz wird der Bergfink auch Böhämmer oder Behemmer genannt (von Beheimer, Ableitung zu Beheim 'Böhmen'), eine Bezeichnung für Zugvögel, die als Vagabunden unter den Vögeln angesehen werden.

I am sitting in a training event on Voice Over IP telephony, when the presenter puts up this slide on the projector. I almost instantly start laughing and several folks look at me funny. After a few minutes, a few more read the bottom line of the slide and begin to chuckle as well.
My question is this, is that a bargain or REALLY expensive?
With the word "lover" in there, I'm saying really, really expensive!
It depends on the going rate on the streets. Sincerity will cost extra.
Irondad - as the politician said, once you can fake sincerity you've got it made.
Gotta love those "oops" moments that liven up those boring presentations .


UTECH Europe in Maastricht, the Netherlands took place on April 14-16. One week later, on April 21-23 it was time for European Coatings show in Nuremberg, Germany.

Toto Wolff wants to increase MGU-K to "50% of power output"
by Louis Shaw
Formula 1 could freeze all development on the internal combustion engine part of the current 'power units' from 2021 and only allow developments on the electrical parts. Toto Wolff believes that this would reduce costs and that it would be better for sustainability.
Mercedes boss Wolff thinks that freezing developments on the combustion engine would be a good thing.
"That would reduce the costs by 5 percent as a good first step," he told Auto Motor und Sport. "But there has to be more. It would be better for sustainability if we keep developing the electrical part of the power unit," said Wolff.
Currently, the MGU-K delivers 20 percent of the total power output but the Austrian thinks it could produce more.
"We can imagine increasing that to 50 percent," Wolff said.
It will be interesting to see if Formula 1 goes down this path and whether it would make the grid more equal and save teams money.

Determination of the Relationship between the Energy Content of Municipal Wastewater and Its Chemical Oxygen Demand
Lookup NU author(s): Ziye Dai, Dr Elizabeth Heidrich, Dr Jan Dolfing, Dr Adam Jarvis
Accepted version [.pdf]
This is the authors' accepted manuscript of an article that has been published in its final definitive form by American Chemical Society, 2019.
© 2019 American Chemical Society. Quantitatively evaluating progress toward energy neutral, or even energy positive, wastewater treatment necessitates reliable data on the intrinsic energy content of the wastewater. It has long been assumed that the amount of energy in wastewater is directly related to its chemical oxygen demand (COD), but the convoluted method for measuring the wastewater energy content has meant that a reliable, statistically robust relationship between COD and energy has never been drawn. In this research, we used a new drying method and analyzed a set of 107 municipal wastewater samples, with a range of COD values from 16.4 to 1151 mg/L. The results revealed a strong correlation between COD and energy content of 16.1 kJ/g of COD (p < 0.001). Reliable predictions of a wastewater's energy content can now be made on the basis of the COD measurement alone.

For the first time ever, a client came to meet me with her father which I thought was so awesome. I've never had a client meet me with her mother or father for that matter. They always come with their fiance or one of their sisters or bridesmaids but never with the parents.
Melissa drove in with her father, Brian. As soon as they walked in the door, he started asking me what equipment I shoot with. Turns out dad is a hobbyist photographer who knows his stuff. I had so much fun talking shop with him and showing him all of my camera gear. Melissa is going to be such a beautiful bride. She is such a pretty girl. I adore her features. We had a great time and shared lots of laughter during that meeting. I will be shooting her wedding on September 19th 2009.

This investigation sets forth the history of community theatre in Anchorage, Alaska and proposes to define a future role direction made necessary with the advent of professional theatre in the community.
By 1976 the Community Theatre movement in Anchorage found itself in direct competition with the professional performing programs for the limited performing space, subsidies, and audience. For the Community Theatre to continue functioning, a re-definition of non-professional theatre in Anchorage had to be found.

'Go whistle', Johnson tells world, 'and we'll come running like good little poodles'
'Poodle': Boris Johnson is left at the door while EU politicians make the big decisions [Image: Martin Morland].
Tories are typical bullies. They will always victimise people they consider weaker than them – and they will always kowtow to those they think are stronger.
Look at Boris Johnson's ill-advised display of bravado against the EU, in response to a question from fellow Tory Philip Hollobone.
"Since we joined the common market on 1 January 1973 until the day we leave, we will have given the EU and its predecessors, in today's money, in real terms, a total of £209bn. Will you make it clear to the EU that if they want a penny piece more then they can go whistle?" Mr Hollobone said.
Mr Johnson replied: "He makes a very valid point and I think that the sums that I have seen that they propose to demand from this country seem to me to be extortionate and I think 'to go whistle' is an entirely appropriate expression."
And what happened? Michel Barnier whistled, and Boris Johnson came running – because he's a poodle, not a hound.
It is important to understand that Mr Johnson has distorted the meaning of the money being paid to the EU.
That money is not a divorce bill; it is an agreed financial contribution. Stopping such payment would be reneging on a commitment, and that would seriously harm the UK's reputation internationally.
So Brexit minister Joyce Anelay – in a written statement because Tories are too cowardly to face up to the consequences of their actions – has admitted that the UK will continue honouring its financial obligations, even after leaving the EU.
'On the financial settlement, as set out in the prime minister's letter to President Tusk, the government has been clear that we will work with the EU to determine a fair settlement of the UK's rights and obligations as a departing member state, in accordance with the law and in the spirit of our continuing partnership,' she said.
'The government recognises that the UK has obligations to the EU, and the EU obligations to the UK, that will survive the UK's withdrawal—and that these need to be resolved.'
That's right – the EU has obligations to the UK as well. If we are still contributing to the EU, then we should continue to benefit from EU policies and programmes. That is the (current) deal.
This, in turn, means that there must be transitional arrangements – rendering the recent debate on that subject a complete waste of time. Tory ditherers.
Oh, and while we're at it, remember the campaign to make Jacob Rees-Mogg leader of the Tory Party and prime minister?
With judgement like this…
… perhaps it's as well for that idea to be shelved indefinitely.
But Brexiting Tories are not the only ones who have turned out to be poodles for bigger bullies.
Remember those incredible, £995, leather trousers that Theresa May was so heavily criticised for wearing, showing off her wealth when some of us are having trouble feeding ourselves?
Now she reckons she was bullied into wearing them.
She's the prime minister, for crying out loud! Nobody should be able to bully her into anything.
So much for the "strong" part of her silly pre-election mantra, "strong and stable".
These Tories are pathetic. Their weakness will cripple us all.

Johnson is a thoroughly dishonest and proven liar. The man is a blustering and extremely nasty bully – a very unpleasant trait which, in the past, he has kept hidden behind a false façade of childish buffoonery. He is totally unfit for any kind of public office.

I find it very surprising that people laud Tusk Verhofstadt and Junker when they attack the UK and make ludicrous ad frankly illegal demands but then complain if any Brit replies, in a decent sort of way, when are these people going to accept that constantly attacking their own nation is not a good idea?

I'd like to see Boris tell the House of Commons barman to go whistle for his bill.
Anything Financial coming out of the EU has to be treated as worthy of close inspection and proper sign off by all parties.. Not one EU set of accounts in the last ten years has ever been authorised or signed off by their audit division. Not something to be proud of or to encourage uk support that the accounts of the EU are in safe hands and can be relied upon as accurate. It also begs the question that the leadership and well paid committee membership of the EU are quite comfortable with this appalling state of affairs and happily condone it continuing for ever rather than doing something about the frauds……one of the reasons for UK wanting out of this uncontrolled situation which had no signs of ever being addressed..

Many companies invest in Customer Education because they've been in "ad hoc hell" (or as we call it, ad-hoc-atraz) and find it hard to escape. Everyone in the organization, from CSMs to Project Managers to Support Reps, are doing their own version of training. They redesign and customize it every time. No two people use the same materials.
We don't have enough time. Everyone is busy and doesn't have time to create or update standard materials. We'd argue that you don't have enough time not to invest in standardized and scalable training. Your team is spending precious time answering the same questions, or delivering the same trainings, over and over. You can take this off their plates so they can focus on the issues that truly need custom solutions.
We're providing white-glove service by customizing everything. This usually isn't true for startups. You're doing what the customer wants, but not always what they need. This puts you in reactive mode where you're taking orders, not partnering with your customers.
My CSMs should be able to do it all — they are our trainers. You didn't hire most of your CSMs and project managers to be expert trainers. You might have some that are phenomenal at it, but unless you specifically hire them for their facilitation or documentation skills, instead of (for example) their relationship management or project management skills, they may not love or be good at Customer Education tasks.
This is why we recommend creating a Customer Education function once you have more than a few CSMs: it helps you deliver education consistently and scalably. To figure out whether your business is ready, take your all-in CSM headcount costs or cost-per-ticket and show the dollar value of the time people are spending on ad-hoc documentation and training. It may very well be more than a full-time person already.
Both Dave and Adam found that it took around eight months to go from having no real Customer Education content to a functioning first version of our programs at Gainsight and Optimizely. Now at Azuqua and Checkr, we're both trying our hands at this again.
One thing we've found is that this process is iterative. You're going to have three or four "first things" before you have a program in place.
A piece of advice – be realistic about how long things actually take to create. The fact of the matter is that bad training is quick to create; good training takes longer.
While the amount of time it takes has gone down in the past several years, especially due to improvements in course authoring technology, it still takes longer than people think!
We recommend starting with materials that are quicker to prototype and update, like articles and recorded sessions, but eventually you'll want to add more interactivity to make the learning more effective for people to retail.
It's important to move towards education programs that will scale with your organization and your customer. If you're delivering ad hoc trainings, most of the time it's not very interactive. You're doing a feature tour of your product or a runthrough of a slide deck with time for questions thrown in. This would be like teaching someone to play the piano by telling them how good they'll sound when they play it.
Ad hoc training is more interactive for the trainer — they have to do a lot of talking, and a lot of work to customize it. Your Customer Education programs should be more interactive for the customer — give them time to reflect, try their skills, and ask more pointed questions.
If you're the executive making a business case for Customer Education, then we encourage you to speak the language your board speaks.
For example, many SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses care about their CAC/LTV ratio — the Cost to Acquire the Customer vs. the Customer's Lifetime Value.
As opposed to on-premise software or other types of products where there's an initial transaction, the SaaS model means that you initially spend more money on Sales and Marketing than you get back when the customer first signs with you. Instead, you need to keep delivering value so that the customer expands over time. That way, you'll eventually make back the money you spent on CAC and hopefully a lot more.
While your board likely doesn't care how many hours of training you delivered or what satisfaction score the customers gave, they do care about your CAC/LTV ratio. They may care about your product's Time to First Value for new customers. They almost certainly care about your overall retention, expansion, and churn numbers.
So your Customer Education program's charter should be to help you drive these metrics at scale, by enabling customers to use your product and achieve success in their space.
Thought Industries, a LMS provider, paired this with research from Bain & Company to show that a 5% increase in renewal rate would increase profit by 60-228%.
Customer Education is hard to measure — it requires an upfront investment that will pay off over time, and most teams don't achieve cost recovery in their first years, even if they sell training. But if you can measure how Customer Education affects the leading indicators of renewal for your product, such as increased product adoption, then you'll be able to build a strong strategy for Customer Education in your business.
Find out how you educate customers today, and who does it. Interview or survey your team to find out how your CSMs, Support Reps, Project Managers, and other roles deliver training and documentation to customers.
Quantify the amount of time spent in ad hoc training and documentation. How many hours do your teams spend preparing and delivering materials that won't be reused or scaled to other customers?
Define the value metric that you'd like Customer Education to drive for your business. Is it product adoption? Customer satisfaction? Something else? Then choose some "leading indicator" metrics that you can measure today to see if you're making progress. This could be something like support tickets submitted or NPS scores.

Tim Cook would rather sell you an iPhone than add RCS to iMessage
Apple CEO Tim Cook dismissed the idea of iPhone users adopting RCS messaging to put an end to the green bubbles surrounding messages when texting someone on an Android device.
When asked how Apple founder Steve Jobs felt about using the RCS standard in iMessage during Vox Media's Code 2022 event on Wednesday, "I don't hear our users asking for us to put more energy into it at this point," Cook said. the night Instead, Cook said, "I want to turn you into an iPhone."
But the man who asked the question, Vox Media's LiQuan Hunt, came back with a valid complaint that his mother couldn't see the videos he was sending. All of this comes down to a lack of interoperability between iMessage and RCS, both of which allow for high-quality images and videos — if they work together. If you've ever tried to send a video from Android to iOS (or vice versa) using your regular text messaging app, you know that your videos come out completely blurry on the other end. Cook's suggestion for fixing this annoying problem? "Get your mom an iPhone."
As silly as it sounds, the bubble color in iMessage that differentiates Android (green) users from their fellow iPhone users (blue) has become controversial. Google's campaign to publicly shame Apple Adoption of the standard has clearly had no effect on Cook, who publicly pays attention to the opinions of people who own iPhones. Of course, there are other reasons to avoid adding RCS. Emails Detected in Epic Test Craig Federici, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, said, "iMessage on Android will simply help take off.

Q: Is an auto inc primary key needed here to avoid fragmentation? I have a table such as follows:
CREATE TABLE Associations (
  obj_id int unsigned NOT NULL,
  attr_id int unsigned NOT NULL,
  assignment Double NOT NULL
  PRIMARY KEY (`obj_id`, `attr_id`),
);

Now the insertion order for the rows is/will be random. Would such a definition lead to fragmentation of the table? Should I be adding an auto inc primary key or would that only speed up the insert and would not help the speed of SELECT queries?
What would a better table definition be for random inserts?
Note, that performance wise I am more interested in SELECT than INSERT

A: I guess you use the InnoDB access method. InnoDB stores its data in a so-called clustered index. That is, all the data is stashed away behind the BTREE primary key.
Read this for background.
When you insert a row, you're inserting it into the BTREE structure. To oversimplify, BTREEs are made up of elaborately linked pages accessible in order. That means your data goes into some page somewhere.  When you insert data in primary-key order, the data goes into a page at the end of the BTREE. So, when a page fills up, InnoDB just makes another one and puts your data there.
But, when you insert in some other order, often your row must go between other rows in an existing BTREE page. If the page has enough free space, InnoDB can drop your data into it.  But, if the page does not have enough space, InnoDB must do a page split.  It makes two pages from one, and puts your new row into one of the two.
Doing inserts in some order other than index order causes more page splits. That's why it doesn't perform as well. The classic example is building a table with a UUIDv4 (random) primary key column.
Now, you asked about autoincrementing primary keys. If you have such a key in your InnoDB table, all (or almost all) your INSERTs go into the last page of the clustered index, so you don't get the page split overhead. Cool.
But, if you need an index on some other column or columns that aren't in your INSERT order, you'll get page splits in that secondary index. The entries in secondary indexes are often smaller than the ones in clustered indexes, so you get fewer page splits. But you still get them.
Some DBMSs, but not MySQL, let you declare FILL_PERCENT(50) or something in both clustered and secondary indexes. That's useful for out-of-order loads because your can make your pages start out with less space already used, so you get fewer page splits. (Of course, you use more RAM and SSD with lower fill factors.)
MySQL doesn't have FILL_FACTOR in its data definition language. It does have a global systemwide variable called innodb_fill_factor. It is a percentage number. Its default is 100, which actually means 1/16th of each page is left unused.
If you know you have to do a big out-of-index-order bulk load you can give this
command first to leave 60% of each new page available, to reduce page splits.
SET GLOBAL innodb_fill_factor = 40;

But beware, this is a system-wide setting. It will apply to everything on your MySQL server. You might want to put it back when done to save RAM and SSD space in production.
Finally, OPTIMIZE TABLE tablename; can reorganize tables that have had a lot of page splits to clean them up.  (In InnoDB the OPTIMIZE command actually maps to ALTER TABLE tablename FORCE; ANALYZE TABLE tablename;.) It can take a while, so beware.
When you OPTIMIZE, InnoDB remakes the pages to bring their fill percentages near to the number you set in the system variable.
Unless you're doing a really vast bulk load on a vast table, my advice is to not worry about all this fill percentage business. Design your table to match your application and don't look back.
When you're done with any bulk load you can, if you want, do OPTIMIZE TABLE to get rid of any gnarly page splits.
Edit Your choice of primary key is perfect for your queries' WHERE pattern obj_id IN (val, val, val). Don't change that primary key, especially not to an autoincrementing one.
Pro tip It's tempting to try to forsee scaling problems in the early days of an app's lifetime. And there's no harm in it. But in the case of SQL databases, it's really hard to forsee the actual query patterns that will emerge as your app scales up. Fortunately, SQL's designed so you can add and tweak indexes as you go. You don't have to achieve performance perfection on day 1. So, my advice: think about this issue, but avoid overthinking it. With respect, you're starting to overthink it.

A: (Assuming you are using ENGINE=InnoDB.)
Short answer:  Do not fret about fragmentation.
Long answer:
There are two types of "fragmentation" -- Which one bothers you?

*

*BTree blocks becoming less than full.

*Blocks becoming scattered around the disk.

*If you have an SSD disk, the scattering of blocks around the disk has no impact on performance.  For HDD, it matters some, but still not enough to get very worried about.

*Fragmentation does not "run away".  If two adjacent blocks are seen to be relatively empty, they are combined.  Result:  The "average" block is about 69% full.

*In your particular example, when you want multiple "attributes" for one "object", they will be found "clustered".  That is they will be mostly in the same block, hence a bit faster to access.  Adding id AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY would slow SELECTs/UPDATEs down.

*Another reason why an id would slow down SELECTs is that SELECT * FROM t WHERE obj_id=... needs to first find the item in the index, then reach into the data for the other columns.  With PRIMARY KEY(obj_id, ...), there is no need for this extra hop.  (In some situations, this is a big speedup.)

*OPTIMIZE TABLE takes time and blocks access while you are running it.

*Even after OPTIMIZE, fragmentation comes back -- for a variety of reasons.

*"Fill factor" is virtually useless -- UPDATE and DELETE store extra copies of rows pending COMMIT.  This leads to block splits (aka page splits) if fill_factor is too high or sparse blocks if too low.  That is, it is too hard to be worth trying to tune.

*Fewer indexes means less disk space, etc.  You probably need an index on (obj_id, attr_id) whether or not you also have (id).  So, why waste space when it does not help?
The one case where OPTIMIZE TABLE can make a noticeable difference is after you delete lots of rows.  I discuss several ways to avoid this issue here: http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/deletebig
