The Test of Champions 2015
By Valerie Grash, Hello Race Fans Contributing Editor
The right mix of speed and stamina is needed to capture the longest dirt race many Belmont contestants will ever run.
Once upon a time, American thoroughbred racing was all about stamina. In the 19th century, it was not unusual for races to be contested in back-to-back two-mile heats, and even as recently as 1975, the venerated Jockey Club Gold Cup tested horses going two miles. Consequently, breeders once focused on developing speed that could be carried over significant distances.
However, the dearth of true staying races today has altered American breeding (or vice versa) to the point that few horses regularly race over 9 furlongs–a fact that makes the Belmont Stakes unique in American racing, as it is the only remaining 1 1/2-miles Grade 1 stakes run on dirt. That's also what makes this the most difficult of the Triple Crown races, as, even more so than in the Kentucky Derby, pedigree plays a critical role in who can and cannot get the distance. A poor post position can be more easily overcome than in a shorter race, and more experienced horses don't necessarily hold an advantage over those more lightly raced. A slow pace can adversely affect deep closers, but only if those on-pace can carry their speed over a mile and a half. Knowing which horses, no matter how lightly regarded, possess the potential to run 12 furlongs can lead to big payoffs at the betting window.
Case in point: Da' Tara's upset victory in the 2008 Belmont. Notwithstanding Big Brown's inexplicable poor performance, there were significant questions about the colt's distance breeding, as both his sire Boundary and broodmare sire Nureyev were sprinters/milers. On the other hand, Da' Tara's sire Tiznow had twice won the 10-furlong Breeders' Cup Classic, not to mention that Tiznow's broodmare sire Seattle Song (son of Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew) also won the 12-furlong Washington D.C. International. So, with only a maiden win to his name, Da' Tara went off at 38-1, but his pedigree held up, as did his wire-to-wire frontrunning speed.
At even longer odds, 70-1 Sarava won the 2002 Belmont. His sire Wild Again was a multiple Grade 1 winner at 10 furlongs, including the 1984 Breeders' Cup Classic, while his damside included the likes of Belmont Stakes winner Gallant Man, who captured the Jockey Club Gold Cup when it was run at two miles. Where Sarava's pedigree also hinted at brilliance was in the fact that his unraced dam was a half sister to Grade 1 winner Wilderness Song, a filly who finished second behind her stablemate Dance Smartly in the 10-furlong Queen's Plate against males. Wilderness Song and Sarava shared the same sire. When considering serious Belmont contenders, class and stamina in the damside matters.
In 2010, two of our top four stamina pedigree selections–Drosselmeyer and Fly Down–ran one-two, with First Dude (exactly as predicted) dangerous on the lead and able to hang on for third. In 2011, a sloppy sealed track added another dimension to handicapping, allowing a frontrunner like Ruler On Ice to stay on for the victory, but three of the top four finishers–Stay Thirsty, Brilliant Speed, and Nehro–were among the four horses mentioned pre-race as having the best stamina pedigrees.
In 2012, the pre-race scratch of I'll Have Another was particularly disappointing, as his damline breeding strongly suggested that he could be our first Triple Crown winner since 1978. Instead, the well-bred Union Rags validated the importance of a strong female line while defeating the equally well-bred Paynter. In 2013, Palace Malice vindicated his sire Curlin's Belmont loss to the filly Rags to Riches; the next four finishers (Oxbow, Orb, Incognito and Revolutionary) represented the strongest stamina breeding in the field.
Last year, his questionable 12-furlong breeding proved all too real for potential Triple Crown winner California Chrome as he could only muster a tie for fourth-place with Wicked Strong. The well-bred winner Tonalist finished a mere head in front of lightly-regarded Commissioner, a colt whose breeding (by a Belmont Stakes winner out of a mare by a Belmont Stakes winner) certainly proved profitable to those savvy pedigree handicappers willing to put money on a 28-1 longshot.
Exactly like California Chrome in 2014, American Pharoah is in the midst of a 6-race win streak as he makes his bid to become the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. That fact hasn't stopped both experienced challengers and new shooters lining up to take him on. Which of these contenders possess the necessary stamina breeding along with strong damline performers to upset the final leg of the Triple Crown? In alphabetical order, let's break them down into three groups, beginning with those whose pedigrees strongly suggest they should handle the 1 1/2-miles distance, even if their racing record doesn't recommend them:
Best Bets for an Upset
Frosted – PLACE (2ND)
(Tapit, out of Fast Cookie, by Deputy Minister)
Last year Tapit's son Tonalist captured the 12-furlong Belmont Stakes. Can another son repeat that achievement this year? There's a lot to like in Frosted's pedigree, including the appearance of Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew on both his sireside and damside. Also, his third damsire is renowned stamina influence Roberto, winner of the 12-furlong Group 1 English Derby, and his fourth damsire is legendary broodmare sire Prince John, sire of Belmont Stakes winner Stage Door Johnny and damsire of two-time 12-furlong French Group 1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe victor Alleged. There are also several proven stamina horses in his immediate female family, including his Grade 2 Cotillion-winning dam Fast Cookie who was Grade 3-placed at 9 furlongs, and his Grade 1-placed second dam Fleet Lady who captured the 9-furlong Grade 2 La Canada. Other high-quality stayers in his immediate family include 9-furlong Grade 2 Bernard Baruch runner-up War Monger, 11-furlong Group 1 Italian Oaks winner Carnauba, and 12-furlong Grade 2 San Luis Obispo runner-up Carnival Baby. Winner of the 9-furlong Grade 1 Wood Memorial, Frosted finished fourth, just 3 lengths back of American Pharoah in the Kentucky Derby. Three sharp works over the Belmont track indicate he may be primed for an upset.
Keen Ice – SHOW (3RD)
(Curlin, out of Medomak, by Awesome Age)
A game runner-up to the filly Rags to Riches in the 2007 Belmont, Curlin never again attempted 12 furlongs. However, he did win four more Grade 1 races at 10 furlongs, and in his first foal crop he sired Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice. That fact alone makes Keen Ice an appealing upset threat. An examination of his damside furthers his case, with proven stamina-rich sires present in his first three generations, including his 10-furlong Breeders' Cup Classic-winning damsire Awesome Again, his second damsire Kris S and his third damsire Lyphard (the latter two most notable for turf stayers such as 12-furlong Breeders' Cup Turf winners Prized and Manila respectively). Keen Ice's dam Medomak is a half-sister to 9-furlong Grade 1 Haskell runner-up Coal Play, while another half-brother to Medomak, Iron Works, recently broke his maiden going two miles over hurdles. Keen Ice's third dam, 10-furlong Grade 2 Ladies Handicap winner Tara Roma, also produced 9-furlong Grade 1 Go or Wand victress Serra Lake. This is also the immediate family of 9-furlong Grade 1 Diana winner Somali Lemonade; 2-time 9-furlong Grade 1 winner Verrazano; 11-furlong Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club-placed Baraan; and 11-furlong Grade 2 winner Al Khali, who was also twice a 12-furlong Grade 1 runner-up on turf. In the Kentucky Derby, Keen Ice was relegated to running at the rear of the field and his late run was stifled by traffic issues in the stretch. With a smaller field and a longer distance to run, he may find the Belmont a more satisfying race.
(Afleet Alex, out of Wildwood Flower, by Langfuhr)
As the only colt in the field sired by a Belmont Stakes winner, Materiality certainly jumps out on paper. What's even more interesting is that his dam is a half-sister to the dam of 10-furlong Grade 1 Travers victor Afleet Express, also a son of Afleet Alex. She's also produced a half-sister to Materiality, 9-furlong Grade 2 Gazelle victress My Miss Sophia, runner-up to Untapable in last year's Kentucky Oaks. Stamina seems prevalent throughout this colt's pedigree. When his damsire Langfuhr was bred to a mare from the Mr. Prospector line (much like Materiality's sireline hails from Mr. Prospector), he produced Wando, the colt who captured the Canadian Triple Crown by winning the 12-furlong Breeders' Stakes on turf. Both Materiality's second damsire Phone Trick and third damsire It's Freezing were best at sprinting, making it understandable that a number of his female family line members excelled as sprint-milers. However, there are several other members of his immediate family proven at between 9- and 10-furlongs, including 4-time 9-furlong Grade 2-placed Reporting for Duty; 9.5-furlong Grade 2 Washington Park Handicap winner Eye of the Tiger; and Grade 1 Preakness runner-up Sweetnorthernsaint, not to mention Grade 1 Santa Anita Oaks runner-up Quiet Kim and her daughter, 10-furlong Grade 1 Alabama runner-up Fifyshadesofhay. A lightly raced colt with only three starts under his belt before the Kentucky Derby, Materiality finished sixth after hesitating at the start, losing any chance to engage the pacesetters early on. A smaller field and larger, more forgiving track may move him forward on Saturday.
Mubtaahij – 4TH
(Dubawi, out of Pennegale, by Pennekamp)
His mid-pack Kentucky Derby finish, in eighth place just behind Materiality and Keen Ice, who are both entered here, was disappointing considering how impressively he had won the 9.5-furlong Grade 2 UAE Derby. Yet his connections persevered, skipping the Preakness in favor of the longer Belmont. And based on his pedigree, it could be a decision with a big payoff. In his eight-race career, his sire Dubawi only once attempted anything over one mile, finishing a distant third (8 lengths) behind the proven stayer Motivator in the 12-furlong Group 1 English Derby. However, Dubawi's sire Dubai Millennium won nine of 10 lifetime starts, and five of those were at 10 furlongs, including the Grade 1 Dubai World Cup and the English Group 1 Prince of Wales. As a sire, Dubawi has produced several Group/Grade turf winners at 12 furlongs, including French Group 2 Prix du Conseil de Paris winner Prince Bishop; English Group 2 King Edward VII winner Monterosso; English Group 2 Jockey Club victor Al Kazeem; and Group 1 German Derby winner Waldpark. Both Mubtaahij's first and second damsires, Pennekamp and Last Tycoon, were Group 1 sprint-milers; it's the female members of his damside that hint at stamina, including Mubtaahij's half-sister Lily of the Valley, who captured the prestigious 10-furlong French Group 1 Prix de l'Opera over 6-time Group/Grade 1 victress Stacelita. His dam's half-brother Takwin won or placed regularly between 12 and 14 furlongs, and once ran third (out of 20 competitors) in the 2-mile HRH Prince Abdullah Bin Aziz Cup in Saudi Arabia on dirt. Also included among Mubtaahij's immediate family members are 11.5-furlong listed Cheshire Oaks winner Hammiya and 2-time 12-furlong Group 2 International Bosphorus Cup winner Indian Days.
Well Above Average
Madefromlucky
(Lookin at Lucky, out of Home from Oz, by Pulpit)
As a sire, Smart Strike has produced Belmont Stakes runner-up Curlin, 12-furlong Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf victor English Channel, and Preakness winner Lookin at Lucky. The latter skipped the Belmont Stakes and failed to hit the board in the 10-furlong Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic, so it's hard to gauge just yet how much stamina he may have passed on to his first crop of foals. His son Madefromlucky was a well-beaten fourth against American Pharoah in the 9-furlong Grade 1 Arkansas Derby, but rebounded to win at the same distance in the Grade 2 Peter Pan, a race that historically has produced Belmont Stakes winners such as Gallant Man, Cavan, Danzig Connection, Coastal, and A.P. Indy. Last year's Peter Pan winner Tonalist and runner-up Commissioner fleshed out the Belmont exacta, so the lesson learned is to never discount a horse with experience over "Big Sandy" when it comes to the third jewel of the Triple Crown. In terms of stamina, Madefromlucky has a lot to like in his damside, beginning with his unraced dam being a full-sister to Tapit, sire of the aforementioned Tonalist. She's also produced 10-furlong Japanese dirt Grade 1 runner-up A Shin Gold (by Belmont runner-up Medaglia D'Oro). Madeforlucky's second damsire Unbridled produced Belmont winner Empire Maker, while his third damsire is dual 12-furlong Group 1 Irish and English Derby winner Nijinsky, who also won the 14.5-furlong St. Leger. And if that isn't proof enough of a stamina-rich pedigree, consider the fact that his second dam's half-sister produced the dam of 2009 Belmont winner Summer Bird.
Tale of Verve
(Tale of Ekati, out of Verve, by Unbridled)
Winner of the 9-furlong Grade 1 Wood Memorial, Tale of Ekati was overmatched in both the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, not to mention in the Jim Dandy and Travers. His only two subsequent victories–in the Grade 2 Jerome and Grade 1 Cigar–both came at the distance of one mile, so it's hard to envision his progeny being able to stretch out to 12 furlongs. On his damside, though, Tale of Verve has 2-time 10-furlong Grade 1-winning damsire Unbridled who sired Belmont victor Empire Maker; his second damsire Private Account (also a 2-time 10-furlong Grade 1 winner) produced a host of 9- and 10-furlong Grade 1 winners including Personal Ensign, Inside Information, Personal Flag, and Corporate Report. There are also some nice Grade 1 performers among Tale of Verve's immediate female family members, including his dam's half-sister Zoftig and her daughters Zaftig and Zo Impressive. His third dam Dancing Slippers won the 11-furlong Bayou Breeders' Cup, while other family members include 10-furlong Maple Leaf winner Masked Maiden and 11-furlong listed runner-up Lemon Chiffon. Further back, his fourth dam is a half-sister to the dam of both Belmont winner Swale and Belmont third-place finisher Illuminate. A surprising runner-up to American Pharoah in the Preakness, Tale of Verve may have already had his moment in the Triple Crown sun–a spoiler victory in the Belmont is a big (although not impossible) task for this colt.
Solid, but with some Questions
Frammento
(Midshipman, out of Ginger Bay, by Golden Missile)
2008 Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Midshipman was never tested beyond 1 1/16 miles, so it's too early to tell if he's passed on any stamina to his first foal crop. However, it is interesting that Midshipman's half-sister is Grade 2 Cotillion winner Fast Cookie, dam of 9-furlong Grade 1 Wood Memorial winner (and fellow Belmont Stakes entrant) Frosted. On Frammento's damside, not much 12-furlong stamina is found close-up, especially among the female members of his family. You have to go back to Frammento's fourth dam Inca Queen to find female stamina; in addition to twice winning at 9.5 furlongs, she finished third in the 12-furlong Coaching Club American Oaks. Among her progeny: 12-furlong Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup runner-up Hail Bold King; 11-furlong Grade 2 Rutgers Handicap victor Exile King; and the dam of 12-furlong German Group 1 winner Germany. A son of Belmont winner A.P. Indy, Frammento's damsire Golden Missile never won beyond 9.5 furlongs. Frammento's lightly raced second damsire Silver Deputy did produce the 10-furlong Grade 1 Alabama winner Silverbulletday, 10-furlong Queen's Plate winner Archer's Bay, and the twice 12-furlong graded stakes-placed Pool Play, but Silver Deputy is more noted for his superb milers such as Grade 1 quality Spring At Last, Badge of Silver, Posse, and Pool Land. Overall, Frammento's pedigree is by no means a "slam-dunk" in terms of getting the 1 1/2-miles Belmont Stakes distance. However, it is promising to see he has Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, as well as both stamina-rich Mr. Prospector and Hail to Reason in his sireline and damline.
And, as for the Potential Triple Crown Winner
American Pharoah – WINNER
(Pioneerof the Nile, out of Littleprincessemma, by Yankee Gentleman)
A son of Belmont Stakes winner Empire Maker, Kentucky Derby runner-up Pioneerof the Nile tired and was eased out of the Preakness in what would be his final race. So while the potential for stamina to be passed down is there, it has yet to be proven conclusively. The evidence for stamina in American Pharoah's damside is paltry at best. Unplaced in two juvenile starts, his dam doesn't have much of a record to examine, but two of her half-siblings are graded stakes-quality sprinters: Grade 1-placed Misty Rosette who won the 6.5-furlong Grade 3 Old Hat and 7-furlong Grade 2 Lazaro Barrera victor Storm Wolf. American Pharoah's damsire Yankee Gentleman did once win a 1 1/16-miles allowance race but competed mostly as a sprinter, winning the 6-furlong Pirate's Bounty before failing to hit the board in either the 6-furlong Grade 1 Ancient Title or the Breeders' Cup Sprint. His third damsire Tri Jet captured the 10-furlong Grade 2 Hawthorne Gold Cup, but little of his quality or stamina was apparently passed down through American Pharoah's third dam Zetta Jet—all but one of her foals (American Pharoah's FL-bred restricted stakes-winning second dam Exclusive Rosette) toiled sprinting in the claiming ranks.
If American Pharoah defies the odds and captures the Triple Crown, his win will not only be in apparent contradiction to his less-than-stellar stamina pedigree, but also it will mark the first time that a Triple Crown winner has not raced over the Belmont track, either as a juvenile or at 3, prior to winning the Belmont Stakes. Only a true freak of nature could pull off such a thing.

What may be the first-known case of its kind, a swimming pool company president is charged with criminally negligent homicide.
In 2007, when a young Connecticut boy was swimming in a pool constructed by Shoreline Pools, he was sucked into the powerful drain pump. The child's arm was sucked into the drain, causing him to become trapped under the water until he drowned to death.
The Pool and Spa Safety Act was enacted by Congress and signed by President Bush to prevent tragic swimming pool accidents like this one. Under that law, all pools and spas must have drain covers and safety vacuum release systems (SVRS) that can detect a blockage in the drain and immediately shut the suction off. This law was enacted to prevent drain entrapments or a swimmer becoming stuck in a drain that could lead to forceful removal of the internal organs, usually the bowel or intestines, forceful removal of the scalp, amputations, drowning, or death due to the powerful drain suction. In 2004, a Connecticut law was in place that required all pool manufacturers to install these safety devices. The president of Shoreline Pools was unaware of the law.
For decades, the Philadelphia Beasley wrongful death law firm has been successful in representing victims of swimming pool accidents and drownings. Our swimming pool accident team includes a swim club Board of Directors President and individual pool owners who are highly knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of swimming pool safety.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to a swimming pool accident or drowning please contact one of our experienced Philadelphia swimming pool attorneys at 1.888.823.5291.

Declaration of Rotarians
Spokane Rotary Foundation
Four Way Test
Rotary Membership Brochure
On the evening of February 23, 1905, Paul Harris and three friends, Sylvester Schiele, Gustavus Loehr, and Hiram Shorey, met in Loehr's business office in downtown Chicago to discuss Paul's idea that businessmen should get together periodically for camaraderie and to enlarge their circle of business and professional acquaintances.
What he had in mind was a club that would kindle fellowship among members of the business community. It was an idea that grew from his desire to find within the large city the kind of friendly spirit that he knew in the villages where he had grown up.
The four businessmen didn't decide then and there to call themselves a Rotary club, but their first get-together was, in fact, the meeting of the world's first Rotary club. As they continued to meet, adding others to the group, they rotated their meetings among the members' places of business, hence the name. Soon after the name was agreed upon, one of the new members suggested a wagon wheel design as the club emblem. It was the precursor to the familiar cogwheel emblem now worn by Rotarians around the world. By the end of 1905, the club had grown to 30 members.
The second Rotary club was formed in 1908 half a continent away from Chicago in San Francisco, California. Rotary became international in 1910 when a club was formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. By 1921, the organization was represented on every continent, and the name Rotary International was adopted in 1922.
Today, Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. There are approximately 1.2 million Rotarians; members of more than 29,000 Rotary clubs in 161 countries.
History of Spokane Rotary Club 21
Rotary Club 21 is a fellowship of business and community leaders committed to providing opportunities for people in Spokane and world-wide through the ideals of service above self.
There is no record of who got the ball rolling to bring Rotary to Spokane, whether it was by getting in touch with the Seattle club, or whether Spokane volunteered.
About the middle of February, 1911, Ernst L. Skeel, a Seattle Rotary club charter member, and at that time, the secretary of the Seattle club, came to Spokane to discuss with a gathering the possibilities of starting a club in Spokane. Not all 26 present joined the new club, but the application was made for membership in what was then the National Organization of Rotary Clubs of America.
On July 17, 1911, the National Organization advised the Board of Directors that Spokane, with 20 members, became the 21st club in Rotary and 4th in the Northwest. Since that early date of being sponsored by the Seattle club, Club 21 has gone on to sponsor 12 other Rotary clubs. The first was Walla Walla in 1919. The last to be sponsored was Rotary South in 1972. In between were Coeur d'Alene, Wallace, Spokane Valley, Pullman, Colfax, Spokane North, Spokane Hillyard, Cheney, Spokane East, and Spokane West.
Club 21 has had eight members serve as District Governor. One, Fred K. Jones, went on to be an International Director in 1945-46.
Of historical note, Ernst Skeel would eventually organize twenty-one clubs in the Northwest, including Tacoma, Portland, Vancouver, Bellingham, and Yakima. In 1912, Skeel is accredited with writing the famous Four Objects of Rotary into the constitution which, with some minor changes, have been retained almost verbatim through the years.

Smart processors
by Peter Done 12 October 2010
Ask most people who or what was responsible for invigorating the smartphone market, and they would almost certainly say Apple or Steve Jobs. And indeed, it was that company's iPhone that made a consumer phenomenon of what had previously been a niche device.
But the unsung hero of the transformation is the humble microprocessor. Today's smartphones support functionality equivalent to desktop PCs from only a few years ago, and this is testament to the performance and energy efficiency of contemporary mobile chips.
Intel, a company synonymous with the processor business, has not been the principal beneficiary of the smartphone boom. Its Atom range of mobile chips has barely made a dent in the smartphone market.
The spoils have instead gone to Britain's ARM Holdings, a company spun out of Acorn Computers. ARM Holdings, which licenses chip designs to component makers including Samsung and Texas Instruments rather than making them itself, claims that over 90% of all mobile devices contain at least one processor that it has designed.
Clearly, this represents a missed opportunity for Intel – and it knows it. "I wish I had been smart enough to start it seven years ago because we'd be in a good position today," Intel CEO Paul Otellini said of his company's smartphone effort at a New York conference in early October. "But I wasn't."
A moving platform Why the increasing use of smartphones to support business applications calls for strategic thinking
The company is now making up for lost time, says Charles Golvin, a Forrester Research analyst. "From the perspective of growth opportunities for Intel, this is pretty near the top of the list." It claims that the next Atom release – code-named 'Moorestown' – will support unprecedented application performance on smartphones and tablet devices when it is released next year.
But in mobile microchips, high performance isn't everything. The finite supply of battery power means that energy efficiency is a key differentiator. ARM Holdings says its chip designs offer better power performance thanks to their simplified instruction set (the basic library of commands that the chips are capable of carrying out).
"The ARM architecture was designed from its inception to be a very low-powered instruction set," says Laurence Bryant, marketing director at the chip designer. The latest iteration of its flagship Cortex series, which it announced in September 2010, promises to "dramatically" improve power management once more.
However, Forrester analyst Golvin insists that Intel's formidable research and development resources should in time allow it to catch up with ARM on this front. "Intel has tremendously deep knowledge and skill in chip design – it's not as if energy efficiency is something they've suddenly woken up to," he asserts. "They're putting a lot of design resources and effort into improving that aspect of their designs."
Meanwhile, Intel's recent acquisition of German chipmaker Infineon's wireless unit could help it to tempt handset manufacturers away from the ARM architecture, Golvin suggests.
Infineon's technology will eventually allow Intel to integrate 4G connectivity standards at the chip level. "Having an integrated solution that ties together processor and modem – that's really the aim of the Infineon acquisition," explains Golvin. "It's to bring all the radio components into a complete design, rather than just supplying a processor to a [device manufacturer] that then has to build the rest of it themselves."
However, Intel's plan to use Infineon to bolster its mobile market share took a knock in September, when it was reported that Apple will no longer be using Infineon chips in the iPhone.
ARM, meanwhile, insists that the fact that it licenses its designs to a number of third-party chip manufacturers means that its architecture is more appealing to device makers than Intel's, as they have an eco-system of component suppliers to choose from. This is indeed a strong card in ARM Holdings' hand, says Forrester's Golvin. "Irrespective of industry, nobody likes to be single sourced," he says. "You need competitive supply."
Of course, the typical end-user doesn't know, much less care, which microprocessor their smartphone uses. They are naturally more concerned with the user experience and the breadth of applications available.
But while Intel's continued bid to crack the market may go unnoticed by users, it could still benefit them by accelerating innovation. "The fact that there is a big, scary, looming competitor ready to take market share away from ARM is a good spur for innovation," Golvin concludes. "That competition will result in better experiences."

Biografia
Nel 412 a.C. Scironide, assieme a Frinico e Onomacle, fu nominato comandante della flotta ateniese e argiva, che in quell'anno fu mandata in Asia Minore. Dopo uno scontro vittorioso cogli abitanti di Mileto, che erano stati aiutati dal satrapo persiano Tissaferne e dallo spartano Calcideo, i tre si prepararono ad assediare la città; quando però arrivò una flotta peloponnesiaca e siciliana in soccorso della città, essi tornarono indietro a Samo, come consigliato da Frinico. In quell'anno Scironide venne lasciato a Samo, mentre Strombichide, assieme ad altri due colleghi (Onomacle e un certo Esitnimone), andò a combattere gli abitanti di Chio.

Nel 411 a.C., comunque, Pisandro convinse gli Ateniesi a richiamare in città Frinico e Scironide, mentre Diomedonte e Leonte andarono a sostituirli a Samo.

Dopo il 411 non si hanno più notizie di Scironide.

French politicians headed by Thierry Mariani head to Crimea
Within the program, in particular, meetings are scheduled with the leadership of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea and members of the youth parliament of the peninsula.
A delegation of French politicians headed by the president of the association "Franco-Russian Dialogue" Thierry Mariani arrived in Moscow and flies to Crimea on Wednesday afternoon. Their visit will last until March 16.
As the accompanying delegation was informed by Leonid Slutsky, head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, it consists of honorary members of the French parliament, former and current deputies of the National Assembly, representatives of municipal authorities, including the mayors of Brien-le-Château and Biguglia. The program includes meetings with the leadership of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea and members of the youth parliament of the peninsula, visits to the French military cemetery and the cultural center "Alliance Française".
"French politicians will be in Crimea on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the annexation of the peninsula to the Russian Federation. They will again go to the embankments of Yalta and Sevastopol, where they can meet with ordinary Crimeans and talk about their life in Russia," said the deputy.
Slutsky recalled that Mariani had twice headed the delegation of French politicians who visited the peninsula in 2015 and 2016. "Thanks to these trips, Europe has learned the truth about the" Crimean Spring "and about the return of the Crimea to its native harbor," he added.
"Many of these politicians were later deprived of key powers in parliamentary structures or even lost the mandates of the deputies of the French National Assembly, but from this they did not cease to serve the truth and believe in common sense, and not to the State Department propaganda," the Russian parliamentarian concluded.

Lo Stradivari Bonjour è un violoncello realizzato da Antonio Stradivari intorno al 1696. Prende il nome dal violoncellista parigino Abel Bonjour.

Alla morte di Bonjour, poco dopo il 1885, il violoncello passò, tramite Fridolin Hamma, ad Hans Kühne, che lo prestò per l'esposizione a Cremona in occasione del bicentenario della morte di Stradivari, nel 1937. Lo strumento è passato poi alla fondazione Habisreutinger e successivamente a  Martin Lovett. Il violoncello è stato poi acquistato nel 1999 dalla "banca degli strumenti" del Canada Council for the Arts, alla quale attualmente appartiene e che lo affida per un periodo di tre anni ai vincitori delle sue competizioni. Dopo essere stato utilizzato dalla violoncellista coreana-canadese Soo Bae, nel 2009 è passato alla violoncellista canadese Rachel Mercer.

"You might be aware that lakhs of Odia families have settled in Surat and are engaged in the textile sector there. However, presently there is no direct air connectivity between Bhubaneswar and Surat, Naveen wrote in his letter to the Civil Aviation Minister.
Air connectivity between Bhubaneswar and Surat can give rise to tourist inflow to both the places. I would, therefore, like to request you to impress upon Air India and other private airlines to introduce direct flights between Bhubaneswar and Surat at the earliest, he said.

Ashland is an Amtrak intercity train station in Ashland, Virginia, serving Northeast Regional trains bound for Richmond, Newport News and Norfolk as well as many points north. The station is also designated as Ashland's visitor center. The tracks are lined with a cobblestone median in the center of town, making it a popular train-watching site for railfans.

History

The station was built by the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad in 1923, replacing a station which was originally built in 1866 and rebuilt in 1890. The station was closed in 1967, but reopened in 1985. It was originally served by the Colonial, and through numerous route changes over the years is now served by Hampton Roads-bound Northeast Regionals.

The Ashland station was racially segregated, like many railroad stations in the Southeastern U.S. built before the 1960s. It had separate waiting rooms for whites and blacks, served by a single ticket booth in the center of the building. The former black waiting room is now a museum filled with various RF&P railroad artifacts, including blueprints, model railroad trains, a bench that was once on display at the Smithsonian Museum, local newspaper and locally related magazine articles.

Construction of new platforms and mobile lifts for accessibility was completed in June 2022.

Бесе́дино (до 1948 года Ташлы́-Шейх-Эли́; , ) — исчезнувшее село в Красногвардейском районе Республики Крым, располагавшееся на севере района, в степном Крыму, примерно в 2 км к западу от села Новоэстония.

История
Первое документальное упоминание села встречается в Камеральном Описании Крыма… 1784 года, судя по которому, в последний период Крымского ханства, деревня Шейх-Эли входила в Ташлы Шейхели Бешпаресы кадылык Акмечетского каймаканства. После присоединения Крыма к России (8) 19 апреля 1783 года, (8) 19 февраля 1784 года, именным указом Екатерины II сенату, на территории бывшего Крымского Ханства была образована Таврическая область и деревня была приписана к Перекопскому уезду. После Павловских реформ, с 1796 по 1802 год, входила в Акмечетский уезд Новороссийской губернии. По новому административному делению, после создания 8 (20) октября 1802 года Таврической губернии, Шейх-Эли был включён в состав Кокчора-Киятской волости Перекопского уезда.

По Ведомости о всех селениях в Перекопском уезде состоящих с показанием в которой волости сколько числом дворов и душ… от 21 октября 1805 года в деревне Шейх-Эли числилось 12 дворов, 117 крымских татар и 3-е ясыров. На военно-топографической карте генерал-майора Мухина 1817 года обозначена деревня Ташлы-Шейх-Эли (также как Шейх-Эли) с 8 дворами. После реформы волостного деления 1829 года селение, согласно «Ведомости о казённых волостях Таврической губернии 1829 года», осталось в составе Кокчора-Киятской волости. На карте 1836 года в деревне Тешлы-Шейх 7 дворов, а на карте 1842 года уже как Ташлы-Шейх-Эли обозначена условным знаком «малая деревня», то есть, менее 5 дворов.

В 1860-х годах, после земской реформы Александра II, деревню включили в состав Айбарской волости. В «Списке населённых мест Таврической губернии по сведениям 1864 года», составленном по результатам VIII ревизии 1864 года, Ташлы-Шейх-Эли (как Джетлер-Шейх-Эли) — татарская деревня во владении мусульманского духовного правления, с 4 дворами, 14 жителями и соборной мечетью при безъименной балке. По обследованиям профессора А. Н. Козловского начала 1860-х годов, вода в колодцах деревни была пресная, а их глубина составляла 10—15 саженей (21—32 м). Видимо, вследствие эмиграции крымских татар, особенно массовой после Крымской войны 1853—1856 годов, в Турцию, деревня опустела и на трехверстовой карте Шуберта 1865—1876 года на её месте обозначена одна соборная мечеть.

После земской реформы 1890 года деревню отнесли к Александровской волости. Деревня была возрождена, видимо, в конце XIX века, так как, согласно «…Памятной книжке Таврической губернии на 1900 год» в Ташлы-Шейх-Эли числилось 101 житель в 10 дворах. По Статистическому справочнику Таврической губернии. Ч.II-я. Статистический очерк, выпуск пятый Перекопский уезд, 1915 год, в деревне Ташлы-Шейх-Эли (вакуф) Александровской волости Перекопского уезда числился 21 двор с татарским населением в количестве 115 человек приписных жителей и 7 — «посторонних».

После установления в Крыму Советской власти и учреждения 18 октября 1921 года Крымской АССР, в составе Джанкойского уезда был образован Курманский район, в состав которого включили село. В 1922 году уезды получили название округов. 11 октября 1923 года, согласно постановлению ВЦИК, в административное деление Крымской АССР были внесены изменения, в результате которых был ликвидирован Курманский район и село включили в состав Джанкойского. Согласно Списку населённых пунктов Крымской АССР по Всесоюзной переписи 17 декабря 1926 года, в селе Ташлы-Шейх-Эли, Кара-Чокмакского сельсовета Джанкойского района, числилось 38 дворов, из них 36 крестьянских, население составляло 203 человека, из них 190 татар, 1 украинец, 1 русский, 11 записаны в графе «прочие», действовала татарская школа. Постановлением Президиума КрымЦИКа «Об образовании новой административной территориальной сети Крымской АССР» от 26 января 1935 года был создан немецкий национальный (лишённый статуса национального постановлением Оргбюро ЦК КПСС от 20 февраля 1939 года) Тельманский район (с 14 декабря 1944 года — Красногвардейский) и Ташлы-Кипчак включили в его состав. По данным всесоюзной переписи населения 1939 года в селе проживал 251 человек.

После освобождения Крыма от фашистов, 12 августа 1944 года было принято постановление № ГОКО-6372с «О переселении колхозников в районы Крыма» по которому в район из областей Украины и России переселялись семьи колхозников, а в начале 1950-х годов последовала вторая волна переселенцев из различных областей Украины. С 25 июня 1946 года Ташлы-Шейх-Эли в составе Крымской области РСФСР. Указом Президиума Верховного Совета РСФСР от 18 мая 1948 года, Ташлы-Шейх-Эли переименовали в Беседино. В 1950 году 9 колхозов, в том чиле и местный, объединили в колхоз «Дружба народов»; в Беседино действовала 3-я бригада.26 апреля 1954 года Крымская область была передана из состава РСФСР в состав УССР. Время включения в Петровский сельсовет пока не установлено: на 15 июня 1960 года село уже числилось в его составе. Ликвидировано в период с 1968 по 1977 годы.

Динамика численности населения

 1805 год — 120 чел.

Google May Fold Nest Into Its Hardware Business, and That Would Make Sense
Kellen November 30, 2017 @iamkellex 13
When Google bought Nest back in 2014 for billions of dollars in cash, they told us that Nest would continue on under its own "distinct brand identity." Then when Google became Alphabet a little over a year later, that didn't change and Nest still remained as its own separate entity. Google and Alphabet may be rethinking that move now and are reportedly considering folding Nest into Google's hardware division, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Today's report suggests that Nest and its 1,000 employees could join up with the likes of Rick Osterloh's hardware group, which currently makes the Pixel phones, Pixelbook, Google Home, and other various products. By doing so, Google may be in a better position to continue this ongoing battle with Amazon over control of your home.
If you think about it, this makes a hell of a lot of sense. In fact, as a former Nest employee told the WSJ, the separation never did make much sense to begin with. Nest and Google likely already overlap in both manufacturing and retail distribution, plus they seem to have similar goals in mind. While Nest still focuses a lot on reinventing boring old home tech and making them cooler and more useful, both Google and Nest want their products in control of your life.
Google has spent their early smart home days creating Google Home and Cast-equipped units, but think about where they are missing out. Areas like cameras, thermostats, and security are logical next steps for them, yet Nest already makes all of that. I don't know that I'd be happy to see the Nest brand go away, but the talent, design and manufacturing chops, and products are all there for Google to help push under their own hardware brand that they are heavily pushing at this point. Nest also seems to have stalled some in recent years, both in innovation and in new products. I'd imagine under the Google umbrella, they may get a fresh start.
What do you think? Should Nest stay separate or would you rather Google expand its own hardware business?

Dental x-rays have long since been a part of preventive and diagnostic dental care, but recently, technology has evolved to provide us with the opportunity of using digital x-rays.
What is the difference between digital and traditional x-rays?
The most significant differences are quality and safety. Digital x-rays provide the dentist with high-quality images that are used for diagnosing issues that would otherwise be unseen by a visual exam. Plus, digital x-rays emit minimal amounts of radiation. Images from traditional x-rays are of lesser quality and emit higher amounts of radiation.
How safe are digital x-rays?
Digital x-rays are much safer than traditional x-rays. In fact, they emit nearly 90 percent less radiation. Although there is still a minimal risk involved with any form of x-ray, the benefits much outweigh the risks because of the various types of dental issues that can be detected. Without the use of digital x-rays, you could be putting your health at risk of hidden dangers.
Are digital x-rays safe for children?
Digital x-rays are even safe for children. The dentist may use digital x-rays as means of evaluating the growth and development of your child's mouth and teeth. Any issues discovered during this phase can be addressed to help ensure your child remains healthy as he or she grows.
Digital x-rays allow the dentist to detect decay between teeth, infection or abnormalities in the jawbone or surrounding bone structure, tumors, and more. They are used for documenting the state of your oral health, which means we can detect any changes. Digital x-rays also aid in developing treatment plans, especially when multiple procedures are needed, to avoid unnecessary treatments down the road. One of the great benefits of digital x-rays is that that can be viewed from a computer screen so you can see a more detailed view of each individual tooth.
To discuss benefits of digital x-rays or to schedule an appointment, contact Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry today at (831) 824-5111. We welcome patients of Los Gatos, Santa Cruz, and Scotts Valley, California.

The display on the Sony Xperia XZ2 is clear and easy to read, with a 5.7-inch IPS LCD touch display and top-notch screen resolution: 1080 x 2160p with 424ppi pixel density.
The Sony Xperia XZ2 promises powerful multimedia, gaming and graphics performance, certainly the equal of many of the top smartphones on the market. This is made possible by a winning combination of Sony Triluminos and X-Reality Engine tech, and built-in Adreno 630 GPU and Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.
Like any premium model, the X72 has a lot to live up to in the camera department and it doesn't disappoint with a powerful blend of quality cameras front and rear. The rear Motion Eye camera is a stunner, boasting a 19 MP sensor with predictive phase detection and Electronic Image Stabilization, particularly good for recording high-quality 4K video.
The Sony Xperia XZ2 doesn't just look good - it sounds good too! In this day and age when we're creating mini-movies on our smartphones, we need great audio to partner with the footage we shoot. The S-Force Front Surround stereo speakers on the Sony Xperia XZ2 deliver exceptional audio, certainly some of the best you'll hear in any smartphone.
The 3,180 mAh battery is big enough to provide ongoing use and can be quickly topped up with Quick Charge 3.0.
A newer model Sony Xperia XZ3 H8416 64GB was released in July 2018.


Wish you a very happy 2010, may all your dreams, hopes and wishes come true.
Loved the barbershop picture, somehow that really caught my eye.
Not too proud to say I really like some of his work.
I agree Maureen, how can one not like N.R.'s work if they have a complete understanding of the history of American illustration... whether someone "likes" his subject matter is not even relevant. What he did, who he inspired... for his time, was second to none.
Interesting topic. A recent vacation to Vermont lead to a visit at a Rockwell mini museum. Run by the son of one of Rockwell's models. I've been thinking about someone that I know who owns a signed print.

Q: How do I get values or dropdowns and text box individually with respect to table rows - AngularJS I am using a table with dynamic number of rows, each row which will have a combination of dropdowns as well as input text boxes. I am concerned on how to obtain the values of textboxes and dropdown specific to that corresponding row.
I have tried in obtaining the values for dropdowns like:
HTML:

     <select class="custom-select" ng-model="selectionModel[row.number]"
             ng-change="optionChanged(row.number, selectionModel[row.number])"
             ng-options="choice.name for choice in possibleOptions track by choice.id">
     </select>

JS:
$scope.selectionModel = {};
angular.forEach($scope.record, function(cus) {
    $scope.selectionModel[cus.number] = $scope.possibleOptions.filter(function(opt) {
        return opt.id === cus.option;
    })[0];

});

function getUniqueValues(array, prop) {
    return [...new Set(array.map(item => item[prop]))];
}

On the dropdown change, I have created a function that is capturing whether the value is changed or not, and store the changed value in an array. This is now working fine.
I am now little stuck on how to do the same for the text box. How do I get the values of text box individually with respect to table rows?
My text box looks like:

   <input type="text" class="form-control" style="font-size:0.9rem !important;"
          id="commentsId" placeholder="Comments" ng-model="comments"
          ng-bind="row.comments"/>

Please guide.


Keep your dehumidifiers operating at maximum efficiency with the only filter designed specifically for restoration, remediation and construction. Protects in four ways: electrostatic polypropylene and cellulose mesh capture particles, while activated carbon absorbs odors and fumes and antimicrobial treatment helps prevent bacterial growth on the filter.
CONSTRUCTION: Sturdy aluminum frame resists collapse to maintain proper filtration.
MATERIALS: Electrostatically charged polypropylene, activated carbon, and expanded cellulose mesh. Antimicrobial treated to help control microbial growth and associated odors.
DISPOSABLE: Filters are not reusable. Replace whenever filter appears dirty or heavily loaded with particles.


Our advanced metering solutions cover every type of meter (gas, electricity, heat, water, oil and steam) leading to improved energy management and tighter controls on spending. We recommend the solution that best fits your requirements and can manage the entire process including design, installation, commissioning and verification.
The bottom line impact of incompatible metering systems is significant; it is vital that an effective metering strategy is implemented which takes into consideration the intricacies of each building and the operational objectives of the system. Our strategic review of metering design results in documentation that outlines recommendations and observations on implementing best practice, whether the system is for tenant recharging, energy management or both. Ensuring compliance requirements have been met also forms a fundamental part of our design strategies, for example ensuring the use of legally compliant MID approved meters for billing, ensuring HNR obligations are met, and meeting the minimum requirements of Part L Building Regulations.
The majority of problems which arise from metering, trace back to the incorrect installation, programming or maintenance of meters. Such issues are commonplace on new build construction projects. We carry out a series of independent meter commissioning checks for new meter projects, post installation, to ensure that meters will record accurately, providing quality assurance and certification to evidence this. For businesses that fall under the Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations 2014, where heat meters already exist there is a legal requirement to maintain them and use them for accurate billing.
It is a requirement for all half hourly (HH) supplies to have Meter Operator (MOP) and Data Collection Services (DCS) agreement in place; if left to the supplier, the cost of these services will become uncompetitive and access to data can be problematic. Our management of this process will reduce costs, provide you ownership of the meter and data and improve your procurement power.
Where metering is installed incorrectly, inaccuracies can go undetected for years. We install electrical and mechanical meters, using our approved electrical technicians, gas safe engineers and mechanical technicians for all installations ensuring a very high standard of delivery. We also offer diagnostic surveys where it is believed meters may have been installed incorrectly with the cause of the problem and required solution proving difficult to confirm.
There is often a lack of clarity over which meters serve which tenants within multi-let buildings, leading to inaccurate recovery of service charge costs, or a lack of understanding when interpreting data for energy management purposes. Our meter verification survey independently verifies the area that each electrical meter is serving and confirms the electrical sub distribution arrangements. The output includes an up to date meter schedule and full schematic drawings. Where there are concerns over accuracy of meter we can also offer meter accuracy validation.
Also known as AMR (Automated Meter Reading), smart meters are devices that allow the remote collection of usage data for charging purposes. These may be mains supply meters or check meters designed for tenant recharging. Smart meters provide effective monitoring, which offers a number of benefits including accurate data and improved billing. We advocate the installation of smart meters in multi tenanted buildings to ensure that billing to tenants is accurate and auditable whilst providing usage data to drive energy efficiency.

Q: ClassCastException on LayoutParams from LinearLayout to AbsListView My app should show a listview with a textview, checkbox and imageview for each row. Before adding the code for the image everything worked fine. But now I am always getting this exception:
android.widget.LinearLayout$LayoutParams cannot be cast to android.widget.AbsListView$LayoutParams

I guess that something is wrong with my getView() Method in Adapter class. I'm new to android development and I'm having a hard time understanding the problem and finding it. I used the search function but couldn't find a solution. Can you help me?

A: This chunk of your getView() method looks very suspicious:

case TYPE_ListElement:
      View view = inflater.inflate(resIdImage, parent, false);
      convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_item, (ViewGroup) view, false);
      ...

It's really odd to see two calls to inflate() in getView(). I suspect that you want to change this as follows:
case TYPE_ListElement:
      convertView = inflater.inflate(resIdImage, parent, false);
      ...
