Top Gear UK vs. Top Gear USA: Which Top Gear is Better?
If you love cars as much as I do, you inevitably love Top Gear. If you don't know what Top Gear is, I can sum up the the TV show for you like this, "The greatest thing EVER!"
Top Gear shows you what happens when you let loose three crazed automotive journalists and give them an unlimited budget to do what they want with cars. The three hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond get into wacky situations during each episode. They engage in antics such as driving to the North Pole, crossing the English Channel in homemade amphibious vehicles, and trying to prove British Leyland built good cars, just a few situations the three hosts get into during an episode. Top Gear goes boldly where no other TV show goes. It also answers the question of what every man would do if he could remain a kid forever.
Top Gear UK is an immensely popular TV show. I am not the only one who thinks so, as the original British Top Gear has an estimated global audience of 350 million people in 170 different countries every week. (According to Wikipedia!)
Americans like to copy good British TV shows. The Office, American Idol, Survivor, Big Brother, etc. were all British TV shows first. Now you can add Top Gear to that list. The History channel now broadcasts an American version of Top Gear with Rutledge Wood, Adam Ferrara, and Tanner Foust. Top Gear USA follows the same format as the original Top Gear, with the three hosts reviewing cars, getting into crazy situations, having celebrities on the show, etc.
The fact that Top Gear USA is still on TV probably makes diehard fans of the original British version groan with pain. The first time I watched an episode of Top Gear USA I didn't like it. This might be because the hosts are not nearly as witty and entertaining and majority of the segments seem to be carbon copies of the original.
Brits, it seems, are just better at making good TV than "Stupid Americans" as Europeans might call us. It makes we wonder if there will be an Americanized version of Downton Abbey. (At least we make great action movies with lots of explosions!)
I may have my own opinions about Top Gear USA. However, I'd like to hear from my readers on which you prefer.
I have compiled these videos for a heads-up challenge, Top Gear UK vs Top Gear USA. Which do you think is better? Watch the videos and decide for yourself. Leave a comment below and share your opinions.

Top Gear Season 18 Trailer features usual explosions, adventures, and awesomeness
Top Gear, the wildly popular British car show, released the trailer for Season 18. It shows all the latest mayhem the three hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond will be getting into in the new Top Gear season.
In Season 18 it looks like there will be some interesting and fun segments. In typical Top Gear fashion there will be a supercar challenge which will feature a Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren MP4-12C and a Noble M600. Richard Hammond will try his hand at racing in NASCAR. (The way it looks in the video, he will actually be in the car in a real race.) Yves "Jetman" Rossy will be featured in the series as well, with his incredible homemade and hand-built jetpack. Ray Winstone, the British actor, will be making an appearance. The new season will take also take the hosts to China to test Chinese cars. There is also going to be a Christmas special in India.
Season 18 should be everything that you expect from Top Gear, which is car craziness packed into 1 hour episodes.
If you didn't know already, Top Gear is my favorite show of all time! Please share you thoughts about the Top Gear Season 18 below.

Flight attendant who nearly died on 9/11 commemorates coworkers with a 200-mile bar-cart push
Tod Perry
via Paulie's Push
On August 21, Paul "Paulie" Veneto began a historic journey from Logan Airport in Boston to downtown Manhattan in New York City. As a retired flight attendant of 30 years, it's a trip he's taken too many times to count, but this time he's doing it on foot.
In three weeks it will be the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. To commemorate the airline personnel that lost their lives on that tragic day, Veneto is pushing a bar cart 200 miles from the 9/11 memorial at Logan Airport to the Ground Zero monument in Manhattan. His journey is appropriately named "Paulie's Push."
Veneto is walking 10 to 20 miles a day and hopes to reach Ground Zero on September 11.
At the time of the attacks, Veneto worked for United Airlines and was routinely on Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles, the flight that was rerouted by terrorists into the World Trade Center.
Veneto had the day off on September 11, 2001 and has had to live through the guilt of being a survivor.
"That day sent me into a tailspin of opiate addiction that almost cost me my life," he wrote on his website where he documents his journey. "After almost 15 years of numbing myself out from the thoughts of that day, I have finally been freed from addiction since 2015. I can now finally give tribute to my fallen crew members."
Veneto hopes that his journey will bring attention to the sacrifice the crew members made on a day that will never be forgotten.
"I am doing this because I want these crew members' families to know how courageous they were that day," he wrote. "I want the public to understand that under those conditions that morning, what those crew members did, nobody could have trained for. They really need to be recognized as Heroes. They were the very first First Responders."
On the top of the bar cart, he has the photos of his fellow attendants on Flight 175. He says he won't have any problem finding inspiration during his long push. All he needs to do is take a look at their pictures.
"I look at their faces smiling back at me," Veneto said.
September 11 is a day of pain for Veneto but also a reason to celebrate. On September 11 he will celebrate his sixth year of sobriety. "I turned my life around to be able to recognize these guys who were never recognized," Veneto said. "We all can tell this country and the world that these crew members were heroes on 9/11."
Paulie's Push will benefit the families of his former colleagues as well as Forward 25, a nonprofit that assists people dealing with addiction.
Donations can be made at the Paulie's Push website and checks can be sent to Paulie's Push, in care of First Republic Bank, 160 Federal St., 8th floor, Boston, MA 02110. Attention: Cam Clifford.

Norine Dworkin-McDaniel's son came home from school one day talking about Newton's first law of motion.
He had just learned it at school, her son explained as they sat around the dinner table one night. It was the idea that "an object at rest will remain at rest until acted on by an external force."
"It struck me that it sounded an awful lot like him and his video games," she joked.
A writer by trade and always quick to turn a phrase, Norine grabbed a pen and scribbled some words:
"Newton's First Law of Parenting: A child at rest will remain at rest ... until you need your iPad back."
And just like that, she started creating "The Science of Parenthood," a series that names and identifies hilarious, universal parenting struggles. She put in a quick call to her friend Jessica Ziegler, a visual and graphics expert, and together the two set out to bring the project to life.
Here are some of their discoveries:
1. Newton's first law of parenting
2. The sleep geometry theorem
3. The baby fluids effusion rule
4. The carnival arc
5. The Archimedes bath-time principle
6. Schrödinger's backpack
7. The naptime disruption theorem
8. Calculation disintegration
9. Chuck e-conomics
10. Plate tectonics
11. Silicaphobia
12. Delusions of launder
13. The Costco contradiction
Norine and Jessica's work struck a nerve with parents everywhere.
Norine said almost every parent who sees the cartoons has a similar reaction: a quiet moment of recognition, followed by a huge laugh as they recognize their own families in the illustrations.
But is there more to it than just getting a few chuckles? You bet, Norine and Jessica said.
"Even, at the worst possible moments, you're standing there, your child has just vomited all over you, or you've opened up the diaper and your kid is sitting waist deep in liquid ****. Even at that moment, it's not really that bad," Norine said. "You will be able to laugh at this at some point."
"It gets better. You're not alone in this parenting thing."

October 9, 2016 Comments Off on What Could Legislation Do for Bitcoin in the US? Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, Government activities Like
What Could Legislation Do for Bitcoin in the US?
By Olusegun Ogundeji for CryptocoinsNews
A section of US Democrat and Republican congressmen now agree to something about cryptocurrencies: the need for them, as lawmakers, to know more about what it is.
According to U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney, most of the lawmakers do not know the difference between bitcoin and the blockchain technology hence the formation of the bipartisanBlockchain Caucus last month to help their colleagues stay up to speed on evolving digital currency and blockchain technologies, and develop policies that advance them.
"…we really started this caucus as a sort of way to introduce our colleagues and their staff members to what this technology is so that when they start to hear more and more about it, and they will start to hear more about it, that they have good information as we start to talk about things we can do in terms of government policies," Mulvaney told Bloomberg in a live interview about the caucus – or the congressional member organization – he co-founded with Jared Polis, a Democrat from Colorado. "We don't care what you think about bitcoin – you like it or you don't like it, the underlying distributed ledger technology is real and its potentials exist far beyond its application in the financial services. That's what we've been trying to introduce folks to."
CMOs are usually set up to pursue common legislative objectives. They can also help get other legislators up to speed on a subject in the hopes of formulating future laws that affect that niche. Whether this particular group would be able to wield much influence is yet to be determined but it sure seems to be a good initiative for the cryptocurrency movement.
Mulvaney and Polis also are working with the Coin Center, a Washington-based nonprofit that focuses on digital currency technology, to help Congress understand how it all works. Coin Center's executive director, Jerry Brito, is one of the appointed board members of Digital Currency and Ledger Defense Coalition DCLDC which was recently founded to help protect individual constitutional rights and civil liberties in connection with regulatory and law enforcement scrutiny and efforts relating to digital currencies (e.g. bitcoin) and ledgers (e.g. blockchains).
According to Brito, DCLDC brings together over 50 of the top lawyers from around the US who focus on digital currency and blockchain legal issues "…in a united effort to protect the individual constitutional rights and civil liberties of innovators experimenting with these promising new blockchain technologies."
He likened the objective of DCLDC to keep "the way free for innovators pushing the envelope to build out promising network technologies" to the role defense coalitions played to make the early internet reach the global scale it is today.
All these moves come at a time when British billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson saidblockchain technology could bring an "economic revolution" in many developing countries where proving ownership of assets or getting access to capital is difficult.
A similar view was shared by billionaire bond manager Bill Gross who runs the $1.5 billion Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund in an October investment outlook. He touted bitcoin and blockchain as an option for investors who may lose faith in the global financial system and seek havens.
He stated: "At some point investors — leery and indeed weary of receiving negative or near zero returns on their money, may at the margin desert the standard financial complex, for higher returning or better yet, less risky alternatives. Bitcoin and privately agreed upon blockchain technologies amongst a small set of global banks, are just a few examples of attempts to stabilize the value of their current assets in future purchasing power terms. Gold would be another example — historic relic that it is. In any case, the current system is beginning to be challenged."
It now seems Bitcoin, as well as its underlying technology, blockchain, is no longer as new as it used to be.
With all these going on, Mulvaney's suggestion for him and his colleagues to seek guidance on bitcoin and adopt a "take a hands-off approach" on blockchain while examining its potentials, would ring a bell. "We don't need to go first. We just need to make sure we don't discourage other folks from looking at the technology and its full application," he said in the interview as he seeks for an opportunity to make the technology evolve on its own as innovators explore its use.
But what would a government recognition or regulation to that effect mean? Using the case of Japan, it would be a good move. After Japan passed a bill that mandated the regulation of Bitcoin and virtual currency exchanges by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) in May, the measures seem to help the recovery process from the Mt. Gox scandal which has given Bitcoin a bad name in Japan.
About 430 billion yen in bitcoins was reported traded in Japan in the first half of 2016,increasing about 50 times from the previous year, but in July alone, more than 200 billion yen in bitcoins was traded. The regulation gave it more legitimacy in the public eye.

Benjamin Franklin called the state a �barrel tapped at both ends�, referring to its proximity to the cities of New York and Philadelphia. Remarkably, agriculture is the number one industry in a state known for its population density and industry. The annual Marbles Tournament in Wildwood, NJ brings a collection of skilled athletes from across the country to compete in a game well over 2,000 years old. Cape May is America�s oldest seaside resort and a living museum of Victorian charm and architecture. Good seafood, bluegrass and decoys are part of the Baymen�s Seafood & Music Festival in Tuckerton Seaport. Atlantic City was one of the first major resort towns in America and continues to thrive amidst the growth of the gambling industry. Its history is reflected in local resident Joseph Polillo�s historic postcard collection. It�s also the birthplace of Saltwater Taffy and a factory tour shows how the taffy is pulled into its final form. In Springfield, the Brigade of the American Revolution�s detailed historical reenactment of the Springfield Battle, brings hundreds of participants and spectators up close and inside the smoke and fire of the American Revolution. Technology and medicine come alive at Liberty Science Center, in Jersey City, where future generations of scientists are engaged and inspired inside the most visited museum in the state. Thanks to �Save Ellis Island�, the decaying and abandoned structures on America�s island of immigration are being restored and the island�s contribution to public health is revealed. In Lyndhurst, dueling knights and Andalusian stallions parade through the spotlights and entertainment at Medieval Times, a colorful and exotic journey to 11th century Europe. Behind the scenes, the trainers, actors and stuntmen work very hard to keep the spectacle safe. In an area mostly industrial, visitors can take a new approach to art by walking through Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, a place where nature and art intermingle amidst a serious arboretum.

With S0007 (Countdown) operations underway for Friday afternoon's scheduled 14:20:07 EDT launch of Atlantis, Program managers have completed the customary L-2 MMT (Mission Management Team) meeting – officially clearing Atlantis for launch. Among the items discussed and cleared at the various FRRs (Flight Readiness Reviews) for STS-132 this past month were the previous IFAs (In-Flight Anomalies) from the STS-129 flight (last flight of Atlantis) and the STS-131 mission.
In all, 10 IFAs were declared from Atlantis' previous flight – the STS-129 mission in November 2009. Of those 10 IFAs, five were from Atlantis herself.
These IFAs, none of which were discussed in depth during the STS-132 FRR process, included a failed Mid-Starboard Payload Bay floodlight, a premature stop to a waste dump, a dislodged fire extinguisher, damage to MDU PLT1 Screen Glass, and an unexpected water temperature operation of an APU water tank heater.
Since these IFAs were dispositioned before Endeavour's STS-130 flight in February and were of no concern for Atlantis' STS-132 flight, a detailed discussion of these IFAs was not required during the SSP (Space Shuttle Program) and SOMD (Space Operations Mission Directorate) FRRs.
However, four IFAs from Discovery's STS-131 flight (the previous Program flight) did require discussion and review prior to their official clearance for STS-132.
The first of these IFAs related to the failure of the Forward and Return Links on Discovery's (OV-103's) Ku-Band antenna.
"During STS-131, OV-103's Ku-Band system did not operate in Comm or RADAR mode," notes the Orbiter Project Office presentation to the SSP FRR – available for download on L2.
Numerous attempts to troubleshoot the Ku-Band antenna on-orbit were unsuccessful and recovery of the Ku antenna was not possible.
Testing on Discovery's Ku-Band antenna in OPF-3 (Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3) at the Kennedy Space Center in the last three weeks suggests that the probable cause for the failure is either the Deployed Electronics Assembly (DEA) or the Electronics Assembly 1 (EA-1).
A troubleshooting plan was initiated on April 27 and further isolated the problem to the Deployed Assembly (DA).
Testing of the DA revealed that the Q6 transistor in the DEA exciter was the cause of the problem – which carried the same P/N as the transistor that caused the previous Ku-Band failure on Discovery during the STS-92 mission in October 2000.
Confidence is high that the problems that plagued STS-131 will not reoccur since Atlantis' Ku-Band antenna has passed all self-tests in the OPF and "No trend … in review of OV-103 or OV-104 mission or turnaround test data (back 3 flights on each vehicle) that could suggest the failure seen during STS-131" has been noted. Nonetheless, should the problem reoccur during Atlantis' flight, workarounds – as seen during STS-131- are available to the 132 crew.
The second STS-131 IFA to gain note in the STS-132 SSP and SOMD FRRs was the partial loss of part of a Rudder Speed Brake (RSB) TPS (Thermal Protection System) tile during ascent.
Since only a portion of the TPS tile was lost during the 131 ascent, and on-orbit photography from the ISS confirmed that adjacent tiles were intact, the partially missing tile was not a concern for reentry as the aft portion of the Orbiter experiences more heating during ascent than descent and entry temperatures would not exceed any material limits for the exposed areas.
Moreover, an entry analysis (from an Orbiter controllability perspective) revealed that even if two complete RSB TPS tiles liberated during ascent, controllability of the vehicle would be maintained during Entry, Descent, and Landing.
The third IFA reviewed by the SSP FRR pertained to the Left RCS (Reaction Control System) Fuel Helium Isolation B Value.
Furthermore, there was no pressure difference across the valve during the anomalous OPEN indication. The valve operated nominally when it was re-opened for entry; the valve also worked properly during post-flight valve testing.
To be certain that this problem is understood, an IPR (Integrated Problem Report) was opened for the STS-133 flow (dubbed IPR 133V-0006).
For Atlantis, all RCS He Iso Valve were verified functional during the flow toward STS-132. Parallel pressure paths are available should one valve fail closed and cross-feed capability exists in the event that both valves fail closed. Further, a "Series [of] redundant regs and [a] relief valve prevent overpressurization for [a] failed open valve," notes the SSP FRR presentation.
Finally, the last IFA from STS-131 pertained to the Forward RCS (FRCS) Fuel Helium ISO A Valve.
"During post-flight valve test, the Forward RCS Helium A Isolation valves were being taken from OPEN to CLOSED. When cockpit switch was taken to CLOSE, the Ox Helium A Iso Valve indicated closed nominally (< 1 sec); however, the Fuel Helium A Iso Valve remained OPEN for 82sec before finally indicating CLOSED," notes the Orbiter presentation.
Previously, the valve had performed flawlessly during the entire STS-131 mission. A nearly identical signature was seen during post-flight inspection from the STS-119 mission in March 2009; however, the signature did not repeat during the remainder of the ground flow toward STS-128.
To make sure that this signature is understood as well as can be, an IPR has been opened for the STS-133 flow (IPR 133V-0007).
Again, since all RCS Helium Iso valves were verified functional during the flow toward STS-132 and since parallel pressure paths exist should a valve fail closed, this problem is not a concern for the STS-132 mission.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Jarome Iginla scored his 625th career goal and goaltender Jonathan Quick stopped 35 shots for the shutout as the Los Angeles Kings kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 2-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night.
Tyler Toffoli also scored for the Kings (37-33-7) who trail Nashville by eight 10 points for the final wildcard playoff spot in the Western Conference. Each team has five games remaining.
Iginla's goal tied him with Joe Sakic for 15th all time. It also was the 101st game-winning goal of his career.
Quick, who missed 59 games this season with a groin injury, recorded his second shutout of the season and 44th of his career.
RELATED Calgary Flames clinch NHL playoff berth with rout of San Jose Sharks
Coupled with their 4-1 over Calgary Wednesday night, it was the first time the Kings won consecutive games in regulation time since Feb. 1.
The Canucks (30-38-9) have just two wins in their last 12 games (2-8-2) and have been eliminated from the playoff race. It was the 10th game this season Vancouver was shutout.
Canucks goaltender Ryan Miller stopped 24 shots.
RELATED Chicago Blackhawks defeat Columbus Blue Jackets for 50th win
After a scoreless first period, the Kings scored goals 3:50 apart in the second.
Iginla scored on a power play at 12:48 after Canucks defenseman Alex Edler was sent off for putting his hand on the puck.
Alec Martinez took a shot from just above the faceoff circle. Iginla, battling defenseman Nikita Tryamkin in front of the net, managed to tip the shot behind Miller for his 14th goal of the season and third in as many games.
RELATED Pittsburgh Penguins end four-game losing streak with shootout win over New York Rangers
Toffoli increased the lead to 2-0 at 16:38, firing a shot over a sprawling Canucks defenseman that beat Miller high on the blocker side. That broke an eight-game scoring drought for Toffoli.
Coyotes rookie center Christian Dvorak scored a highlight-reel goal at 7:26 of the first period to give the Coyotes a 1-0 lead.
Dvorak appeared to lose the puck as he crossed the blue line on the right wing but gathered it at the top of the circle, deked around Capitals left winger Andre Burakovsky and cut toward the slot. Burakovsky tried to sweep the puck off Dvorak's stick again, but Dvorak eluded him a second time and lifted a wrist shot past Braden Holtby's glove hand for his 13th goal of the season.
Josh Jooris widened the lead to 2-0 at 9:05 when he gathered the rebound of Alex Goligoski's shot from the point and slipped a rebound under Holtby's pads for his fourth goal of the season.
Arizona made it 3-0 when Lawson Crouse got in on the forecheck and poked a loose puck to Shane Doan circling the net. Doan found Alex Burmistrov in front for a tap-in and a 3-0 lead at 13:12.
Washington coach Barry Trotz pulled Holtby in favor of Philipp Grubauer but reinserted Holtby for the start of the second period.
Washington cut the lead to 3-1 on a second-period power play with Oliver Ekman-Larsson off for cross-checking. Nicklas Backstrom collected the rebound of T.J. Oshie's shot at the left post and snapped a shot past Louis Domingue's blocker for his 23rd goal of the season. Backstrom has 16 points in his last 10 games.
Daniel Winnik cut the lead to 3-2 at 11:04 when Tom Wilson's shot banked off the right post and into the slot where Winnik was waiting with an open net. It was Winnik's 12th goal of the season.
Dvorak restored a two-goal lead when Washington's Jay Beagle sent an errant back pass into the neutral zone that Dvorak intercepted for a breakaway. Dvorak beat Holtby to the glove-hand side again for his 14th goal of the season and a 4-2 lead.

Black Pumas Bring the Fun to the First of 3 Sold-Out Dallas Shows
The Dallas Museum of Art Will Honor David Bowie With Starman Program on Thursday
Post Malone Comes Home As a Headliner
Mikel Galicia
Mikel Galicia | September 22, 2016 | 11:18am
With Jazz Cartier and Larry June
House of Blues, Dallas
Moments after stepping off stage at House of Blues on Tuesday night, Post Malone tweeted his appreciation to his hometown fans. "Dallas you have my heart," the former Grapevine resident wrote to his 260,000 followers. "Nights like this remind me of why I love touring." It would seem the rising star was pleased with the homecoming stop of his new Monster Energy Outbreak tour — and with good reason.
Malone spent almost the entirety of 2016 on the road while preparing his debut album, working off the viral popularity of his song "White Iverson." So it's not surprising that the comforts of home should elicit such a quick, emotional appreciation.
The 21-year-old spent the afternoon leading up to the show among high school friends and his parents who were also side stage during his headlining moment, beaming with pride and singing along with each song.

This wasn't Malone's first homecoming. This was his fourth visit this year, following shows with Fetty Wap, JMBLYA and Justin Bieber. It was the eager, fanatic crowd that seemed to make the difference this time around. For all those other performances, including his sold-out Trees show last summer, it felt as if the crowds were in attendance to catch a glimpse of the latest hype before they saw the real headliner.
Last night everyone was there for him and it was clear Malone is a star in his own right and with a loyal following that goes beyond civic pride.

When the opening notes to "White Iverson" dropped, the venue instantly lit up with cell phone lights as Malone strolled out on stage. One fan in the front row wiped tears from her eyes while singing along as another fan just a couple people away literally had his jaw dropped. Malone gave off a gleeful air, but it wasn't as bright-eyed as his previous visits. He's a veteran now and instead of reeling in the excitement of the moment, Malone was better engaged with the crowd. On most of his songs Malone's voice is fluffed up with autotune and heavy reverb but in a live setting it's plain to hear that he has a strong, natural voice that sounded good enough as he performed "Too Young" and a bulk of tracks from his August 26 mixtape, including "Monte," "Never Understand" and "Hollywood Dreams/Comedown."
With each song, the crowd enthusiastically responded and sang back every word, staying on their feet for the 60-minute set. Malone's stamina wasn't quite up to par. After a few songs his energy waned but he more than made up for it with a couple antics that kept the show from dropping off. Halfway through his set, Malone brought out Dallas hip-hop royalty in the form of Big Tuck, who performed "Southside Da Realist" and "Not a Stain On Me" with him.
Then, after performing his newest single and Justin Bieber collaboration, "Déjà Vu," Malone started "Lonely," which features Will Smith's son Jaden. By the time Smith's part of the song started, Malone grabbed his phone from his manager and showed the crowd that Smith was on Facetime with him. The crowd lost it as Malone danced with the phone in hand showing it off to the crowd. With pals like Justin Bieber, Jaden Smith and Kanye West, he has moved beyond the supposed one-hit-wonder status so many tried to press upon him.
Malone promises there is a debut album on its way, but with the August 26 release date in the rearview, it's unclear when the project will be released. Other than "Déjà Vu," the only other new music from the album Malone played is a song possibly called "Congratulations," since it's repeated several times in the hook.
It doesn't seem like Malone's fans are upset there's not a new album, though. From the reaction they had for all the music he's released over the past year, it seems he has a little more time to let it simmer while the album releases. Malone closed the night with "White Iverson" and the song still hasn't lost a step. The crowd sang the words so loudly that Malone just put the microphone in the air and let them finish it.
It's been a year and a half since his overnight success, and Malone is still riding a career trajectory that shows no signs of hitting a ceiling. He continues to build upon accomplishment after accomplishment and it will be interesting to see how much his homecomings get when he releases Stoney.

Buying your first home is one of the most exciting things you will ever do in your life, being a first home buyer also means this will more most likely be the most expensive purchase in your life.
Getting it right is critical so you get the right house on the right land with the right finance so you can enjoy the right life style.
We have a special arrangement in place with one of Australia's largest builders to get you started with just $5,000.000 for a house and land package.
Other things you may need to consider as a first home buyer to getting it right.
1. Changing jobs or making a major purchase at the same time as applying for finance.
2. Not getting your finance pre-approved, and leaving everything 'too late' when the 'right' property is found.
3. Borrowing right up to the amount the lender is prepared to loan you, and then getting over-stretched financially.
4. Letting emotions take over in the negotiation process, and paying too much for the property—or missing an opportunity to negotiate more favourable purchase conditions.
5. Not checking out things such as council zoning, building approvals and restrictive covenants.
6. Buying a 'do-up' and then running out of money. Renovation is not a cast-iron route to riches, and if it turns out to cost more than you bargained for, you could be living in squalid circumstances for too long.
7. Forgetting to sort out property insurance well before you move in, and forgetting to tell the utility companies.

David Eagleman's bestselling, sparkling and provocative book on neuroscience now part of the Canongate Canons series
The Runaway Species
David Eagleman & Anthony Brandt
Why the Net Matters
Neuroscientist and best-selling author David Eagleman introduces the concept of Possibilianism, a new philosophy that simultaneously embraces a scientific toolbox while exploring new, unconsidered uncertainties about the world around us.
Read an extract
David Eagleman at the School of Life
"Despite appearances, innovations don't come from nowhere. They are the latest branches on the family tree of invention." An extract from The Runaway Species on how technology (and creativity) work: by building on what's come before.
"The arts protect consciousness": Anthony Brandt – co-author of The Runaway Species with neuroscientist and writer David Eagleman – discusses types of creativity and the value of art (with the help of a string quartet).
In the afterlife you relive all your experience, but this time with the events reshuffled into a new order: all the moments that share a quality are grouped together…
"In the same way that the cosmos is larger than we ever imagined, we ourselves are something greater than we had intuited by introspection"
"We're at an unprecedented moment in history, one in which brain science and technology are co-evolving. What happens at this intersection is poised to change who we are"
"There are three deaths. The first is when the body cease to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The Third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time"
"What follows is a dive into the creative mind, a celebration of the human spirit, and a vision of how to reshape worlds"

Email Privacy Vote Delayed as Cornyn Mulls Terrorism Compromise

By Amir Nasr

A widely popular email privacy bill is being held up in a key Senate committee as a lead co-sponsor attempts to hammer out language to leave some wiggle room for counterterrorism.
The measure was set for a vote from the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, but the bill's sponsors requested a delay until a later date so the panel can address concerns raised by some senators. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), a co-sponsor, explained his reasoning.
"I fully support the warrant-for-content standard that this bill requires, but in order for this bill to actually become law, it's got to reflect the interest of all stakeholders," Cornyn said at the committee meeting. "These are things I hope we can work out, and now that we have a little bit more time, I'm hopeful we can."
Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he is ready to move forward with the long-stalled bill as soon as the committee is good to go. It would update the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act to require law enforcement to get a warrant before compelling an internet service provider to allow access to the content of an individuals' online communications older than 180 days or stored in a cloud service. In the early days of the internet, those messages were thought to be abandoned.
Still to be resolved are two possible changes that would clarify the ability of intelligence agencies to conduct counterterrorism operations and protect individuals in emergency situations.
Cornyn filed two amendments to address these concerns. The first would clarify that the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or someone acting in that capacity, may compel a provider to hand over the name, physical address, email, telephone number and other identifying information if it's relevant to an authorized counterterrorism operation.
Although this proposal could raise questions, the amendment does clarify that the FBI would not be able to demand the content of any communications. That would keep the bill's "warrant-for-content" standard intact.
It also avoids a key change that tech and privacy advocates are adamant cannot happen — exempting civil law enforcement agencies from the warrant requirement. This week, Apple and Facebook joined a plethora of civil liberties and tech groups urging the committee to avoid any legal carveouts given to agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. Both agencies have said that the warrant requirement could hamper their ability to investigate white-collar crimes such as fraud.
Cornyn's second amendment would allow Americans to give consent for law enforcement to search the contents of their communications, which he said could be crucial in emergency situations. "For example, when someone's daughter is kidnapped by a human trafficking ring, as recently happened in Houston, and a father wants to go to police to get information to get his daughter back, that he can consent to the access to the information," Cornyn said.
The bill's biggest supporters on the committee — sponsor Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and committee ranking member Pat. Leahy (D-Vt.) — have fought for the policy change for the past five years. The committee has favorably reported the bill twice in that time and currently, nine Senate Judiciary Committee members are cosponsors.
The difference now is there is a clear path for this policy to become law. The House passed a companion version of the bill with a resounding 419-0 vote in late April. Now, its Senate supporters want to ensure they can see it over the finish line.
"We see that some of our members on this side of the Capitol have some concerns and I look forward to taking the next few weeks to work with them to resolve those concerns," Lee said at the executive meeting, after touting the "difficult" task of achieving a unanimous House approval.
There are already a few other amendments on tap. Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions (R) filed an amendment similar to Cornyn's that would allow police to compel the content of an individual's communications if they receive consent from the person who sent it, received it, or was intended to receive it. The amendment goes further than Cornyn's and would allow representatives of the government to demand the content of communications if they "reasonably" certify that someone risks death or serious physical injury without the disclosure of the communications' content.
Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona also submitted amendments. Graham's amendment, offered with Democratic Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, focuses on enabling the federal government to go after "botnets," the name given to computers programmed to forward malware to other computers, most of the time unbeknownst to the computer's owner.
Flake submitted an amendment that would require providers to disclose information that would be privy to orders, subpoenas, and other legal directives.

Having problems with your Maytag Dishwasher ?
I have a Magtag dishwaher that is leaking out of the bottom right hand corner somewhere. It is at least 10 years old, works great otherwise. What should I do ? Is it an easy fix? Is it worth it to fix it or toss it?
My G865 Miele dishwasher goes partway through the cycle then gets hung up and runs without advancing. We left it running when we left for vacation and it was still running when we came back. I'm assuming it is the timer mechanism. The dishwasher is ten years old but has been run only every other day or so. Is it worth fixing or is it better to replace?
Smeg Allegra I have moved into a house with a 14yr old Allegra dishwasher, the service man tells me it will cost $400AUS to fix. Is it worth fixing?
I have a Bosch SHU6802UC dishwasher that cycles long and doesn't seem to empty the water (appears in sump and is "yucky" according to my wife), The unit came with our house and is at least 10 years old. Is this a situation where i should consider a new unit or are there some economical fixes to try first?
Our Phillips SL2000 dishwasher (~20 years old?) has a leak from the door right hand bottom end when its splashing. The seals appear to be OK to touch and slightly pressing the door inwards does not reduce the leak. What could be the reason and is it worth repairing? The inside looks really good for its age and I am trying to extend its life at least a few years with minimal cost. Please advise.
Dishwasher FDB510LC50, 5 years old, now has leak coming from under machine, is it worth fixing?
I own a kitchenaid dishwasher that is only a few months old and I have this horrible smell on my dishes. I have noticed this also on our old dishwasher. What can it be? I have tried putting bleach and running a cycle but that does not seem to help. Can you tell me what it is? Should I change dishwasher soap or is it maybe my water.

All Three of the U.S. Air Force's Bombers Are Patroling the Pacific
The B-1B, B-2, and B-52 are all staging out of America's fortress island.
For the first time ever, all three types of the U.S. Air Force's bomber force are operating out of the U.S. Pacific Command's area of operations. B-1B bombers are now flying from the American territory of Guam as a show of force in the region, joining B-52 and B-2 bombers already based on the island.
Andersen Air Force Base is the U.S. Military's largest forward air base in the Asia-Pacific region. Andersen has long been in the bomber business, having once sent streams of B-52 bombers headed toward North Vietnam. Today B-52 and B-2 bombers regularly operate from the island, part of the PACOM's Continuous Bomber Presence mission. They can usually be seen, along with tankers, intelligence-gathering planes, and E-3 Sentry AWACS planes, on the base flight line.
On August 15th the Air Force announced a small group of B-1B Lancers from Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota are being temporarily based on Guam. The move comes shortly after an international court of arbitration rejected China's claim to several islands in the South China Sea, and Chinese fighter jets and naval vessels were sighted off the coast of Japan's Senkaku Islands, which are also claimed by China.
Here's a video of an Andersen-based B-52 bomber practicing a bombing run on Farallon de Medinilla, an uninhabited island in the Northern Mariana Islands:

The 2017 tax act changed the corporate income tax rate, international taxes, the taxation of domestic business activity, individual income taxes, and estate and gift taxes. It also eliminated the penalty for not having health insurance and required the use of an alternative inflation measure to adjust tax provisions.
Those changes will have effects on the economy's productivity and output, income, and the federal budget, all of which are reflected in CBO's baseline economic and budget projections.

UCLouvain's Olivier De Schutter becomes United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
Return to Press
On 1 May UCLouvain Professor Olivier De Schutter becomes United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
His priorities: social protection for all; a just transition; and involving people living in poverty in implementing solutions
PRESS contact: Olivier De Schutter, professor, UCLouvain Faculty of Law: mobile on request, olivier.deschutter@uclouvain.be
On 1 May, UCLouvain Professor Olivier De Schutter begins a mandate as United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. The professor of international law served two consecutive terms as United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to food, from 2008 to 2014.
Prof. De Schutter begins his mandate in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis: 'This will worsen extreme poverty by 40%. The situation is dramatic but it's, at the same time, an opportunity to get the attention of governments.'
Given the context of the crisis, UCLouvain's Prof. De Schutter will focus his efforts on three priorities:
Social protection for all. Currently, 55% of the world's population, or four billion people, have no social protection and only 29% of people are covered throughout their lives. According to Prof. De Schutter, 'the cost of financing social protection for the 57 low-income and lower middle-income countries would average 4.2% of their GDP. This is an affordable amount that should be considered an investment in the future, not a cost.'
Promote a just transition. Olivier De Schutter hopes that the coming economic recession will be used to reflect on our desired development model. This must allow for a reduction in inequality and prevent transgression of planetary boundaries. We must not make a choice between growth and the fight against poverty: 'sustainable growth must go hand in hand with poverty reduction.' To achieve this, 'It is necessary to strengthen the social and solidarity economy, support citizen initiatives based on the idea of the commons, and increase investment in renewable energy sources, insulating buildings, public transport, agroecological agriculture, and local food systems and the circular economy.'
Involve people experiencing poverty. 'By depriving ourselves of the voice of the people concerned, we're depriving ourselves of new solutions,' Prof. De Schutter insists. He supports the idea that the knowledge of experts, professionals, and people experiencing poverty are complementary.
'UCLouvain is delighted with the appointment of Olivier De Schutter as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights,' Rector Vincent Blondel said. 'The university shares the vision of a transition to a model of sustainable development, and the fight against poverty and respect for human rights are fundamental pillars. UCLouvain has included the 17 sustainable development objectives among the priorities to be implemented through its missions. This concerns both its own organisation and the actions it carries out through teaching, research, and serving society.'

Katherine organized a meeting for us today with her friend Barrie, aka "Tora Torrid." We brainstormed some production ideas and asked Barrie what she thought her burlesque troupe most wanted from our production skills. Barrie thinks that the burlesque community faces a perception problem from the general audience. She says she gets reactions that range from thinking burlesque is synonymous with stripping to those who see the performer as a one dimensional fantasy object. In both cases, there is a lack of understanding regarding the humans involved in the burlesque act. Barrie would like to collaborate on a project that focuses attention on the woman (or man) behind the burlesque performance and highlights the art, historic accuracy and authenticity with which her troupe performs.
The stage names of the troupe we may be working with include Frankie Sin, Chameleon Queen, Tupelo Honey, Sunny Midnight, and Peaches Galore and Tora Torrid. Barrie was remarkably candid and informative about burlesque in general and her troupe in particular and gave us a strong introduction to the understanding of the burlesque scene. She even allowed me to record the conversation, for possible use of a future podcast.
Katherine emailed her friend Meredith last Wednesday and we are waiting to hear back from her to schedule a meeting this week. Her schedule is tight as she has some gigs this week, but we do have a rehearsal space in pocket where we can film.
We are two Georgia State University students, Kelly Fogwell and Katherine Elmore, making a documentary about the women of the neo-burlesque movement for the course Community Based Media Production. We're working in cooperation with the Atlanta based burlesque troop Musee du Coeur to create a film that highlights the artistry, the authenticity, and real lives behind the pageantry of burlesque.

"New Approaches to the Radical Reformation": Notes from My Presentation (Nov. 2018)
November 1, 2018 December 30, 2022 Mike Driedger
Below are a few notes related to my contribution to the round table held on 1 Nov. 2018 in Albuquerque, NM, at the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference. Other contributors to the round table included Amy Nelson Burnett, Kat Hill, David Yoder Neufeld, and James M. Stayer. Geoffrey Dipple was the organizer and moderator.
UPDATED: Dec. 2022
At the session I outlined 3 proposals for the future of Radical Reformation Studies:
Scholars shouldn't study the Radical Reformation any longer, except as a once-inspiring and now very problematic heuristic tool or historiographical category.
In its place, scholars of early modern "radicalism" (however understood) should study the transformation of new religious movements into established churches, which in turn were challenged in time by movements of reformers / freethinkers / heretics / dissenters / competing factions (or whatever).
The study of transformations from movements to institutions to movements puts the study of heresy and dissent into a broader framework by reconnecting it with the study of confessionalization / confessional cultures, and by encouraging scholar of the German Reformations to join conversations with other scholars of early modern radicalisms.
M. Driedger, "Against 'the Radical Reformation': On the Continuity between Early Modern Heresy-Making and Modern Historiography" in Radicalism and Dissent in the World of Protestant Reform, edited by Bridget Heal and Anorthe Kremers (Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2017), 139-161.
M. Driedger, "Thinking inside the Cages: Norman Cohn, Anabaptist Münster, and Polemically Inspired Assumptions about Apocalyptic Violence" in Nova Religio 21:4 (May 2018), 38-62.
A key reason that the concept of Radical Reformation is outdated is because it theorizes a distinction between Anabaptists and spiritualists (Radical Reformation) on the one hand and Lutheran and Reformed Protestantism (Magisterial Reformation) on the other. This distinction is artificial and counterproductive because it is an artifact of Lutheran and Reformed polemics that has been sublimated (without proper critical reflection) into supposedly objective modern theory (Williams and all who repeat him). One is several serious consequences of the artificial distinction is to make more difficult recognize historical connections across the ideal-typical boundary of Radical and Magisterial.
For evidence related to this last point, see
James M. Stayer, "The Contours of the Non-Lutheran Reformation in Germany, 1522–1546: The Distinction between the Bible-Centred Meeting Places and the Altar-Centred Churches," Church History and Religious Culture 101: 2–3 (2021): 167-174.
Amy Nelson Burnett, Debating the Sacraments: Print and Authority in the Early Reformation (Oxford and New York: Oxford UP, 2019).
Specifically on this dynamic in early 16th-century German history, see Hans-Jürgen Goertz's work on religious movements, the radical Luther, anticlericalism, and Reformation history in general.
For a general sociological view of this dynamic in Christianity, see the work of David Martin, the British sociologist of religion. A good introduction is David Cayley's interview with Martin (https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/the-myth-of-the-secular-part-2-1.3143513).
For more about this dynamic in early modern dissenter communities (mostly in 17th-century Amsterdam), see the work of Leszek Kolakowski (Christians without churches, and the antinomies of religious freedom).

The study of transformations from movements to institutions (and back to newer movements and institutions) puts the study of heresy and dissent into a broader framework by reconnecting it with the study of confessionalization / confessional cultures, and by encouraging scholar of the German Reformations to join conversations with other scholars of early modern radicalisms and modern new religious movements.

Q: SOQL select records by category PersonId    Name        Category
1           John        Finance
2           Tom         HealthCare
3           Bill        HealthCare

I have this data sctucture. I want to select all people from category by only person id.
Example: Input - person id - 2, Next step - category of this person - HealthCare, result - get all people from HealthCare
I know I can do it with 2 queries, but is it possible to do in 1 query?

A: You cannot do it with one query because inner select should not be on the same sObject.

A: This can't be achieved through one Query. You can use Limit 1 in your first query then get its category field and then go for second query.

A: You can do it by one query written in constructor that mean it will run just once during page load and second query to select people every time you enter new personId. there by controller will have to use just once query every time user enters new person Id and we can get ris of double writing two queries. But to implement this there is a one limitation we need to keep in mind that number of records should not exceed than 50,000.
So here is how you can do it.
Step 1: Select All the people records from data base(ListOfPeople).
step 2: iterate through ListOfPeople and Build a MAP with key as PersonId and value as Category(PIDToCat).
step 3: Write a query to fetch the select the people by using the The Map to fetch the category value relevant to PersonId.
So your code will look like as given below
In Constructor

Map PidToCat = new
  map Listofpeople=query all records
  For(iterate through Listofpeople)
  PidToCat.add(people.PersonId,People.Category)

In Search Method

PId=PersonId entered in input text by user select People for that
  category =[select Name from people where category =PidToCat.get(PId)]

Die Wachthäuser der Aachener Stadtmauer waren entlang der Innenseite der Aachener Stadtmauer verteilt. Von der inneren Stadtmauer (gebaut ab 1172) ist die Existenz von Wachthäusern nicht überliefert. Von der äußeren Stadtmauer (gebaut ab 1300) sind einige Wachthäuser namentlich bekannt, andere wurden einfach nach dem Stadttor bezeichnet, in dessen Nähe sie lagen. Keines der Wachthäuser der Aachener Stadtmauer ist heute noch erhalten.

Allgemeines
Die meisten Wachthäuser waren direkt an die Stadtmauer angebaut. Sie hatten in der Regel ein Pultdach, das die Höhe der Mauer nicht überstieg von und der Mauer aus schräg abfiel.

Die Wachthäuser dienten als Aufenthaltsort für die Wachmannschaften der Tore und Türme und zum Lagern von Waffen und Munition.

Bei den Wachthäusern, die nicht direkt an einem Stadttor lagen, befanden sich an der Außenseite der Stadtmauer zur zusätzlichen Verteidigung der Mauerabschnitte zwischen den Türmen und Toren Erker, die über einen kurzen, durch die Mauer führenden Gang direkt von dem Wachthaus aus zugänglich waren.

Die einzelnen Wachthäuser

Wachthaus am Jakobstor

Das Wachthaus am Jakobstor lag neben dem Jakobstor in Richtung zum Lavenstein hin. Es hatte eine Länge von 16,10 m und eine Tiefe von 5,80 m. Die Mauern gingen bis zur Krone der Stadtmauer, das Dach ragte darüber hinaus.

Wachthaus am Königstor

Das Wachthaus am Königstor lag neben dem Königstor in Richtung zum Langen Turm hin. Es war eines der größten Wachthäuser der Stadt.

Wachthaus am Rostor

Das Wachthaus am Rostor lag direkt neben dem Rostor in Richtung zum Karlsturm hin. Das Wachthaus hatte eine Länge von 11,60 m und eine Tiefe von 6,70 m. Es hatte zwei Geschosse und ragte über die Stadtmauer hinaus. Die hier untergebrachten Wachmannschaften dienten sowohl dazu, das Rostor zu bemannen, als auch den in zehn Meter Entfernung erfolgenden Wasserdurchtritt des Baches Pau durch die Stadtmauer zu bewachen. Nach dem Abriss des Rostors zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts diente das Wachhaus als Wohnung städtischer Angestellter.

Wachthaus an der Wandlaus

Das Wachthaus an der Wandlaus lag an dem Erker der Aachener Stadtmauer, der Wandlaus genannt wurde, zwischen dem Pfaffenturm und dem Königstor. Ihren Namen haben Erker und Wachthaus von der dort endenden Lausgasse.

Wachthaus auf dem Adalbertsstift

Das Wachthaus auf dem Adalbertsstift lag zwischen dem Wasserturm und dem Adalbertstor auf demselben Felsen, auf dem auch das Adalbertsstift lag.

Wachthaus Krahborn

Das Wachthaus Krahborn lag zwischen dem Beguinenturm und dem Gregoriusturm. Es ist nach dem in der Nähe gelegenen Gutshof Krahborn benannt.

Wachthaus Posthäuschen

Das Wachthaus Posthäuschen lag zwischen dem Ponttor und dem Marienturm.

Wachthaus Schaafjanshäuschen

Das Wachthaus Schaafjanshäuschen lag zwischen dem Sandkaultor und dem Heinzenturm.

Did you get here all right?
What would you people like to hear?
Any more than I wanna play it.
Food is cold, bland and nothing new.
Do you want your music that way, too?
I got some words and music of my own.
Flowers weren't meant to last.
For a brief moment during my late college years, I was tempted to bundle my songs together and try offering them on the cabaret/folk circuit. The closest I got was being a finalist in a contest at Don't Tell Mama where I got to sing for a small panel of judges who included Margaret Whiting(!). I didn't win, I didn't pursue—mainly because I could never master the guitar, and my keyboard playing is no great shakes, either.
Anyway, this tune was written as a slapback against everything I was hearing on the radio and the sense that audiences just came to clubs to hear the songs they already knew going in.
