David Ross Lederman (December 12, 1894 – August 24, 1972) was an American film director noted for his Western/action/adventure films of the 1930s and 1940s.

Starting out as an extra in Mack Sennett's Keystone Cops series, Lederman worked his way through the ranks of film production, and first made his mark as a second-unit director. He directed several B-Western serials in the early 1930s, such as Two-Fisted Law and Texas Cyclone both 1932, in which he worked with  Tim McCoy and a  young John Wayne. Becoming a full feature director in the late 1930s, Lederman specialized in action films and especially westerns, continuing to produce films with McCoy at Columbia Pictures.

Style
By most accounts Lederman was regarded as a somewhat brusque man with an aversion to retakes and prima donna behavior and he clashed with McCoy on more than one occasion. He was renowned for his strict filming regimen and for bringing in films on time and under budget, which could only have helped to ensure his constant employment as a director, but was often criticised by critics in that several of his films looked rushed. Lederman's films have been described as having a "dystopian view of life" and a "relentless, inexorable narrative drive".

In the 1950s Lederman, like many of his "B" picture colleagues, concentrated on series television, and directed  many episodes of Annie Oakley (1954), Buffalo Bill, Jr. and Range Rider, among others. He retired in the early 1960s.

He was married from the mid-'40s through the mid-'50s to June Lederman and was stepfather to her son Rusty, born about 1943. Lederman died in 1972.

Palestinian youths plant trees in the Jordan Valley protest village of Ein Hijleh, 6 February 2014. As part of its Milh Al-Ard (Salt of the Earth) campaign, the Palestinian Popular Struggle Coordination Committee began on Friday, 31 January to restore and inhabit abandoned homes in Ein Hijleh to protest the ongoing Israeli annexation of the Jordan Valley.
On 31 January, some 300 Palestinian activists established the protest village of Ein Hijleh in a cluster of palm trees and houses in the Jordan Valley, north of the Dead Sea, that were forcibly depopulated when Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967.
Ein Hijleh was created in the face of pledges by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he would not "uproot any Israeli citizen" from the occupied West Bank, and his insistence on retaining control of the Jordan Valley amid talks brokered by US Secretary of State John Kerry.
During the seven days of the encampment, activists began to make the crumbling houses inhabitable, planted trees, installed solar panels, hosted political, religious and diplomatic leaders, screened films and held cultural and political discussions.
But in the early morning hours of Friday, 7 February, one week after the village was re-established, hundreds of Israeli occupation soldiers descended on the remaining activists.
Dozens were arrested and as many as 41 were injured according to reports that emerged from the early morning chaos.
Hamde Abu Rahma, Keren Manor, Ryan Rodrick Beiler and Oren Ziv are members of the ActiveStills collective.

Over 300 Palestinians participated in the action, as part of Milh Al-Ard (Salt of the Earth) campaign against the Israeli plan to annex the Jordan valley, discussed during the current round of talks between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, coordinated by US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Q: Use aura:id to group or identify field components? Most examples I've seen for Lightning form validation assign a common aura:id to all field components in the form, and then use component.find to return the set of components to validate, as in this common code fragment:
var allValid = component.find('someId').reduce(function (validFields, inputCmp) {
    inputCmp.showHelpMessageIfInvalid();
    return validFields && inputCmp.get('v.validity').valid;
}

This approach seems to preclude what I'd think would be a typical use of aura:id -- to uniquely identify a component so it can be accessed individually. The fact that component.find returns either a single element or an array suggests that the designers expected both kinds of uses.
What, then, is an appropriate way to be able to do that "bulk" validation, or any other iteration through field components, while still being able to access them individually?

A: You can do something like this:
// Array of field aura:id values
var auraIds = ['fieldXyz', 'fieldAbc', ...];

var allValid = auraIds.reduce(function(validFields, auraId) {
    // Find component corresponding to the aura:id
    var inputCmp = component.find(auraId);
    inputCmp.showHelpMessageIfInvalid();
    return validFields && inputCmp.get('v.validity').valid;
});

or if in the same function you also want to access them individually:
var fieldXyzCmp = component.find('fieldXyz');
var fieldAbcCmp = component.find('fieldAbc');
...

var cmps = [fieldXyzCmp, fieldAbcCmp, ...];

var allValid = cmps.reduce(function(validFields, inputCmp) {
    inputCmp.showHelpMessageIfInvalid();
    return validFields && inputCmp.get('v.validity').valid;
});

Before I start – yes, my blog posts are erratic lately. I didn't think things could get any busier with school being over, but I guessed wrong. These last two weels have been particularly full of volunteering, family visits, and planning events, so when I do have my free time, I usually just slump down and fall asleep. I probably need to be more disciplined.
However, after my previous post about my top 5 male singers, I did promise that I would make a second list for my favorite female vocalists. If you want a recap of the first list, be sure to click the link above, and then come back to read all about my Top 5 Female Singers!
If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you probably saw this one coming.
While all of the women on this list are amazing, Lacey Sturm is someone that I really admire. She has a fantastic voice (whether she's screaming or not), and was actually the first solo woman to top the Billboard hard rock charts (source). Aside from that, she also has an incredible life story, as told in her autobiography The Reason: How I Discovered a Life Worth Living. It's a great book, so if you ever have the chance to check it out, I highly recommend it. But what I like most about her is that she's a great role model. Not only is she living the dream of being a successful rock artist, but she also manages to balance that with having a life with her husband and two sons. Her music is among the most inspiring that I've listened to, and she's never afraid to share her story with the world. And that is honestly what makes her one of my favorites.
Jen Ledger holds the distinction of being the only drummer to make it into my top ten, so that's something. She replaced Lori Peters as Skillet's drummer in 2008, and has been an incredibly valuable part of the band ever since. Although she started as a backing vocalist for "Hero" and "Monster" on Skillet's album Awake, she has provided additional lead vocals on tracks from Rise and the band's upcoming album Unleashed. Aside from the fact that she joined the band when she was just eighteen (which is how old I am now… no pressure, right?), what I find most impressive is that her voice fits extremely well with lead singer John Cooper's voice. In addition, she's an incredible artist, having drawn all fo the artwork for Rise. Oh yeah, and she's British.
Once upon a time, I discovered Pandora Radio and basically went crazy with finding new music and artists to listen to. One of those bands was Fireflight, which, despite their musical similarities to other artists I enjoyed at the time, I never fully got into. However, with their recent release of INNOVA and their collaboration with Stephen Christian, I realized I still enjoyed their music. Lead singer Dawn Michele has an incredible voice that works well with the music, even as the band's style has changed from rock to a more pop/electronic sound. I'm honestly having a hard time coming up with a word to describe her voice, mostly because I know literally nothing about music, but the best I can come up with is her voice soars. If you want to know what I mean, check out some of the songs I linked to above!
Also once, at Uprise Festival 2013, it was pouring rain and Fireflight still went on with their show. If that's not awesome, I don't know what is.
First of all, if you're looking for an album that screams "Girl Power," I highly recommend Superchick's Beauty from Pain.
Anyway. I find it hard to shove Superchick into a genre, since they have an incredibly unique sound. The closest I can think of is pop punk, although many songs have a more rock sound to them, while others are softer and more melodic. Either way, there's no denying that Tricia Brock was the perfect vocalist for the band. Although "Anthem" is my favorite song from them, I think "We Live" is the best showcase of how well her voice worked with the others in the band. And like House of Heroes, there are a lot of amazing vocal harmonies.
In last week's list, I mentioned a few singers who performed for multiple bands, and talked a little bit about how it it was neat to see vocalists carry their skills from one genre to another. However, I don't think you could have a starker contrast than that between Don't Wake Aislin and VERIDIA, the two bands that Deena Jakoub has performed with. Don't Wake Aislin (DWA) was a hard rock band that unfortunately never gained much traction, but was nonetheless amazing. When DWA broke up in 2012, lead vocalist Deena Jakoub and guitarist Brandon Brown regrouped as VERIDIA, another rock band but with a distinct electronic influence. Although these two genres differ, Deena Jakoub has brought her fantastically melodic vocal style to both, and she's adapted well to each genre. (Also she does really cool stuff with her hair).
I know it was a long time coming, but there you have it! Of course, there are plenty of amazing women in music, singers or otherwise. I know I've just barely scratched the surface.
What about you? Who are your favorites? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
Lacey Sturm I've heard of and really like – for her life story, strong example in every public part of her life.
Agreed! She really is an amazing person, even outside of her music.

The use of external GPUs (or eGPUs) has been making waves for a multitude of computer enthusiasts and content creators alike. By attaching an external graphics card to your Mac, you can achieve improved editing efficiency and rendering performance through the additionally provided GPU-acceleration.
Unfortunately, traditional methods of using an eGPU with a laptop such as a MacBook or MacBook Pro requires you to output your screen to an external monitor. This may act as an inconvenience for those creative professionals who either don't have an external monitor on hand or if you're someone who prefers to edit solely by using your Mac's built-in display.
Luckily, an open-source computer script is now available to remedy the situation. Set-eGPU is a Terminal-based code that allows your computer to take advantage of your eGPU without having to output to an external monitor. The use of set-eGPU is further explained by Jeff Benjamin of 9to5Mac in the video below.
To get started, first launch the application Terminal, which is included with all Macs. Secondly, open your web browser and go to the following URL. From there, under the Usage section, copy and paste the Install set-eGPU.sh code into Terminal.
After pressing enter, Terminal will prompt you to enter your password. By proceeding further, an interface for set-eGPU will appear. From the menu, you will have access to multiple functions.
Typing 1 will enable all applications in your system to take advantage of GPU-acceleration through your eGPU. On the other hand, typing 4 will reset all the GPU settings for all applications.
Alternatively, if you want to specify which applications take advantage of GPU-Acceleration, you can type in 2 to set the eGPU preference accordingly. For example, you can set the eGPU preference to only apply to your video editing application, such as Final Cut Pro. If you want to reset the GPU Preferences for specific applications, you can press 5.
Needless to say, the performance benefits gained from going through this easy-to-follow procedure are a real no-brainer. Looking at the benchmarks, utilizing the eGPU resulted in much faster rendering times across the board compared to the integrated Intel Iris graphics – even when outputting to different codecs and degrees of quality. Even synthetic benchmarks such as Engine Heaven and Valley OpenGL show massive performance increases when the eGPU is utilized.
Obviously, this powerful software solution can be extremely beneficial to content creators who find themselves using a lower-end Mac laptop, or for those who simply want increased graphics performance without having to use an external monitor, it's worth taking the time to configure set-eGPU to run on their machine. While the script may take some time to understand and execute, it will be well worth the time saved from reduced render times.

Abstract Background: An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is defined by World Health Organization (WHO) as 'Any response to a drug which is noxious, unintended and occurs at doses used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy'. ADRs associated with cancer chemotherapy warrant analysis on their severity and preventability. The outcome would create awareness among health care providers and prevent their recurrence. We have performed a hospital-based prospective observational study designed to analyze the pattern of ADRs to chemotherapeutic agents in cancer patients of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A total of 119 cancer patients were monitored for suspected ADRs during the course of chemotherapy from November 2014 to December 2015. Clinical events were recorded and analyzed with regard to the demographics and drug details of the patients. Results: A total of 106 ADRs were recorded from 119 cases. The ADRs commonly encountered included constipation, nausea, vomiting, alopecia and hematological changes. Cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel and 5-FU were used for the treatment of commonly found cancers in this region affecting the lungs, esophagus and lymphomas. Naranjo's causality assessment showed 86.7% possible (score 4) and 13.2% probable (score 5–6). Severity of adverse reactions showed 77.4% mild, 18.9% moderate and 3.8% severe. A total of 45.3% of ADRs were preventable reactions such as nausea, vomiting and constipation. Conclusions: This study highlights the role of active monitoring as an important tool for early detection, assessment and timely management of ADRs in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. The observed ADRs were preventable although ADRs such as hiccough, anemia, neutropenia and alopecia were not preventable.

Introduction The development and use of drugs in various types of diseases has brought wonders to the human race but it has also set new threats in the form of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). An ADR is defined as 'Any response to a drug which is noxious, unintended and occurs at doses used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy' [The Uppsala Monitoring Centre, 2002]. Worldwide, ADRs accounted for 10% of hospital admissions [Farcas and Bojita, 2009] and 6% of hospitalized patients suffer from ADRs [Asawari et al. 2012]. With the introduction of pharmacovigilance in recent times, more
ADRs are reported and documented in various parts of the world. The administration of cancer chemotherapy is one approach to the management of cancer patients and this ensures an improved quality of life, especially with the development of new drugs for the cure of various neoplasms. However, this has also brought out various adverse events that are often neglected by the treating physicians because of the goal of therapy. Documentations of ADRs associated with cancer chemotherapy warrant proper analysis of their severity and preventability. The outcome would create awareness

Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety 8(2) among health care providers and prevent their recurrence in subsequent chemotherapeutic cycles; hence, the objective of this evaluation. Materials and methods Study design The study was a hospital-based prospective observational study conducted from 14 November 2014 to December 2015 in patients who received chemotherapy in the oncology ward of a tertiary care hospital after obtaining due approval from the Institute Ethics Committee (NEIGR/IEC/2013/58). A total of 119 patients gave written informed consent to participate in the study. Consent forms were in a predesigned format approved by the Institute. All 119 patients were interviewed and monitored during the course of chemotherapy for any possible ADR. Data collection Appropriate proforma forms developed in accordance with the ADR reporting form of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), Government of India, were used for collecting data regarding the patients' demographic profile, the details of drugs received during chemotherapy session and also any pre-existing medical condition which may lead to any ADR. All of the suspected cases of ADRs were then reported to the ADR Monitoring Centre and also in Vigiflow to the national coordinating center. Data analysis The pattern of ADRs thus obtained was analyzed. The suspected drugs were identified and their causal associations were analyzed by using the Naranjo scale. The severity and preventability of ADRs were analyzed by using the modified Hartwig Siegel's severity assessment scale and the modified Schumock and Thornton scale, respectively [Naranjo et al. 1981; Hartwig et al. 1992; Schumock and Thornton, 1992].
were female. The mean age group of the study population was 48.71 ± 15.94 years. Analysis of ADRs with suspected drugs In our study, ADRs were found in 70 patients out of the 119 participants and a total of 106 ADRs were recorded and analyzed. The ADRs were seen more in male participants which accounted for 61.43% (n = 43) than in female participants which accounted for 38.57% (n = 27). Among the ADRs encountered, the most common were gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as breakthrough and delayed onset vomiting (15.09%), constipation (12.26%) and anorexia (11.3%). Anemia (2.8%), neutropenia (1.9%) and leucopenia (3.8%) were the most common hematological reactions that were recorded. Alopecia was reported in 20.75% of patients, followed by symptoms of weakness in 10.37%, giddiness in 7.55% and hiccough in 7.55% (Figure 1). Analysis of types of cancer and chemotherapeutic agents The commonly used drugs for chemotherapy in our patients were the combination regimen using cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel and 5-FU for the treatment of cancers common in this region such as those that affect the lungs, esophagus and lymphomas. Carboplatin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel and doxorubicin were the other drugs used for the treatment of cancers of the breast, cervix, ovary, uterus, stomach, rectum and colon; see Table 1.
Causality and severity assessment The ADRs were analyzed for causality assessment with the Naranjo scale which showed 13.2% probable (score 5–6) and 86.7% possible (score 4) association with the suspected drugs. The assessment of the severity of adverse reactions by using the Hartwig scale showed that 77.4% were mild (level 1), 18.9% were moderate (level 3–4) and 3.8% were severe (level 5). Preventability was assessed by using the Modified Schumock and Thornton scale which showed that 45.3% of reactions seen in our study were mostly preventable, while 54.7% were not preventable (Figures 2–4).
Patient's demographic pattern A total of 119 patients who were receiving cancer chemotherapy participated in our study, among which 67 (56.3%) were male and 52 (43.69%)
Emetogenic drugs Assessment High-risk emetogenic drugs used in our setting were cisplatin and cyclophosphamide. The

premedication drugs most commonly prescribed along with these regimens were granisetron 3 mg, ranitidine 50 mg and dexamethasone 8 mg. Patients receiving moderate emetogenic drugs such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, doxorubicin and oxaliplatin were given premedications with ondansetron 16 mg, dexamethasone 4 mg and pantoprazole 40 mg.
Discussion After the ADRs were collected and analyzed, we observed that the population belonging to the mean age group of 48.71 ± 15.94 years were more prone to the development of ADRs during cancer chemotherapy which can be compared with one study that was conducted in Bangladesh [Poddar et al. 2009]. The incidence of ADRs was greater in male participants (61.43%) as compared with female participants (38.57%) which can be explained from the higher incidence of lung cancer (22.86%) seen in our setting as also reported from western and eastern parts of India [Goyale et al. 2014; Prasad et al. 2013]. However, studies from other parts of India and Bangladesh showed a higher preponderance of ADRs in cases affecting female patients. [Sharma et al. 2015; Poddar et al. 2009]. Cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel and 5-FU containing regimens were commonly used and
Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety 8(2) were found to be associated with most of the ADRs in our setting which is comparable with other study reports [De, 2010; Sharma et al. 2015]. The system that was most frequently affected by ADRs was the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), a feature which is similar to another study reported by Guo and colleagues [Guo et al. 2012] and Chopra and colleagues [Chopra et al. 2016]. A total of 15.09% cases of nausea and vomiting, including breakthrough vomiting (within 24 h) and delayed onset vomiting cases, is reported in our setting which is significantly lower as compared with 31.5% and 48.1% that was reported in two other studies [Kirthi et al. 2014; De, 2010]. The lower incidence of this adverse reaction in our patients is attributed to the prompt premedication with antiemetic drugs such as granisetron as well as to the judicious administration of ranitidine, pantoprazole, dexamethasone and aprepitant. The most common mechanism of chemotherapyinduced nausea and vomiting is the activation of the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ). The management plan in our setting for most of these reactions was the administration of a higher dose of granisetron which is consistent with the findings of other studies where patients received higher doses of antiemetic drugs to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting [Poddar et al. 2009]. There is documented evidence of occurrence of constipation with anticancer regimens containing vincristine and cisplatin. Constipation was seen in 12.26% of our patients which was higher than other reported studies [De, 2010; Sharma et al. 2015]. Concomitant administration of premedication drug such as pheniramine maleate for lowgrade emetogenic drugs (Taxanes) may be one of the causes of constipation [Gibson and Keefe, 2006; Mancini and Bruera, 1998]. It is noteworthy to mention that the presentation of constipation observed in our patients was of grade 1 type [US Department of Health and Human Services, 2010] and was managed with laxatives and proper counsel on dietary modification. However, three of our patients presented with persistent grade 2 type constipation where regular use of laxatives was indicated. The incidence of hiccough was found to be higher (7.55%) in our setting as compared with 0.5% in a study conducted by Chopra and colleagues [Chopra et al. 2016]. There are reports of cisplatin-based-regimen-induced hiccough, especially
in patients who had received dexamethasone as premedication during chemotherapy [Liaw et al. 2005] and this is consistent with 4.77% of our patients who received cisplatin- or carboplatinbased regimen and dexamethasone premedication and presented with hiccough. Drugs used in cancer chemotherapy can alter an individual's metabolism through changes in taste and this itself will lead to weight loss. Therefore, symptoms of anorexia and weakness seen in 11.3% and 10.37% of our patients were noteworthy in cancer therapy, as response to treatment diminishes with subsequent decrease in weight [Dewys et al. 1980]. We have seen from the present evaluation that the drug regimen comprising doxorubicin, vincristine and cyclophosphamide, administered especially for the treatment of lymphomas, was associated with hematological disorders (8.4%) namely anemia (mild anemia to anemia of grade 2 level), neutropenia and leucopenia [US Department of Health and Human Services, 2010]. Another prospective study among the patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with the same regimen had reported lifethreatening neutropenia [Intragumtornchai et al. 2000]. In contrast to our evaluation, two other reports suggested hematological disorders as the most common ADR [Mallik et al. 2007; Sharma et al. 2015]. An important measure taken to overcome anemia and neutropenia in these patients was the administration of blood transfusions and filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor), respectively. In our study, a total of 20.75% patients suffered from alopecia, a figure which is less as compared with 51% and 58% that were reported in previous studies [Surendiran et al. 2010; Poddar et al. 2009]. On analyzing the causality assessment of the ADRs by the Naranjo score, we found that 13.2% of cases showed probable and 86.7% showed possible association whereas Khandelwal and colleagues reported 100% and Goyal and colleagues reported 61% of probable scores using the same scale [Khandelwal et al. 2015; Goyal et al. 2014]. The reason for this can be attributed to the observed occurrence of ADRs which were mostly breakthrough vomiting, anorexia and hiccough. Analyses of the severity of these adverse reactions using Hartwig's severity scale revealed that majority of the ADRs (77.4%) were mild followed by moderate (18.9%) and severe (3.8%), a finding which was comparable with the above two studies conducted in western and southern India.
JB Wahlang, P Devi et al. Assessment of the preventability by the Schumock and Thornton scale showed that only 45.3% of the ADRs could have probably been prevented in patients who had symptoms of vomiting, general weakness, constipation and hiccough where appropriate premedication was given and proper dietary counsel was ensured before the start of chemotherapy. All 106 reported ADR cases in our study were managed symptomatically and all of these patients had recovered fully with no further untoward reactions. Conclusion The analysis of ADRs associated with the cancer chemotherapy in a hospital setup gives an insight regarding the causality, severity and preventability of the identified ADRs. It may also create awareness among the treating physicians that can prevent further occurrence of similar ADRs in the same patient. Pharmacovigilance is of utmost importance to ensure safe and effective medications, more so in palliative health care services. Proper evaluation of ADRs helps in preventing their recurrence in subsequent chemotherapeutic cycles. Our study highlighted the common ADRs of anticancer drugs as well as their causality, severity and preventability. The intensive surveillance from our end has led to early detection of some common but important ADRs and to some extent contributed towards achieving the goal of pharmacovigilance in this part of the country.

Audi A4 2.0 review
During an Audi driving event last month, most people assumed that the new and rarefied R8 supercar would steal the show.
But actually, the A4 2.0 lined up for the slalom course offered the most fun.
The twin row of cones lined up on the seafront tarmac in Changi demonstrated the dexterity of the all-wheel-drive A4 2.0 brilliantly. Although a big car for its segment, the A4 was not in the least unwieldy.
In fact, even if it was carrying too much speed, it stuck stubbornly to the course, albeit with a tad of judder as rubber and tarmac tried to divorce. The car's electronic differential, however, prevented the split.
The car's steering was flawless – quick, tight and sharp. And its brakes bit with the ferocity of a pitbull in combat.
So, when it was my turn to take the car out on a road-test, I knew I was in for more fun. And I was not disappointed.
The test-car is decked out in S-Line trim, with extra bits of chrome and body kit to make it stand out. (The retail car, in Design trim, looks handsome too.)
Inside, it is adorned with a host of high-tech features which are superfluous but interesting. These include head-up display, adaptive cruise control with active lane assistant and high-beam assistant.
The car will also advise you – gently with a shoe-shaped icon on the head-up display – to lift your foot off the throttle if, say, you are approaching an intersection too fast.
But the most intriguing feature is Traffic Jam Assist, which drives the car autonomously in slow traffic. It takes the chore out of crawling in a congested road, as steering, throttle and brakes are taken care of by an onboard computer and a slew of sensors. The only thing it does not do (yet) is to flash/horn when a car cuts abruptly into its path without signalling.
With the exception of head-up display, all these gadgets are not standard fare in the A4 2.0, though.
But it is still a very well-equipped carriage. LED headlamps, Audi Connect with Google map, ApplePlay, Wi-Fi for up to eight devices, electric parking brakes with auto-hold and self-release, and keyless system with sensor on each door – all these make the A4 2.0 stand out among its peers.
The cabin is tastefully done up and spacious. Longer and wider than the Mercedes-Benz C-class, the A4 also offers plenty of stowage. We carried a 40-inch TV in the boot – without flipping down the seats.
On the go, the A4 enchants with its effortless progress, cushy ride and superb insulation. These are traits you do not notice on the slalom course, but are quite evident on public roads.
With 252bhp and 370Nm on tap (up from 211bhp and 350Nm in the previous 2.0) and a weight loss of about 100kg, the new car has lots to offer the enthusiastic driver.
So, even if all high-tech drive assist systems were standard issue, you would probably not use any of them.
The car has more power to get you out of trouble than the A4 1.4, which is no laggard itself. So, you feel more confident with it and you enter a corner without shifting down, knowing that the car has enough grunt to exit cleanly.
Likewise, overtaking and lane- merging are executed with no qualms.
But you are also aware that it is a sizeable car. You do not feel it in a slalom circuit because you are all charged up.
On a twisty road with backseats occupied, or in older carparks with narrow ramps, you feel its stature. On an open road, the A4 shines by offering the comfort and luxury of cars above its station.
And with its new 2-litre engine, it has substance to back up its form.

During the 18th century, regular players of the glass harmonica reported tinnitus, disorientation and hysteria, leading it to be dubbed as the world's most dangerous instrument.
One early player, Marianne Kirchgessner, died at the untimely age of 39, with the instrument blamed for her demise.
The iconic Royal Opera House velvet curtain weighs more than two tonnes. That's the weight of a family car or an elephant.
During the World War II, the Royal Opera House was used as a dance hall. Organizers hoped the evenings would boost morale for Londoners coping with the Blitz. The stalls floor was raised to the level of the stage and parquet flooring was installed.
The theatre's use as a dance hall followed a short-lived stint as an ice-skating rink.
Opera singers were once required to bring their own costumes to performances.
That all changed when Attilio Comelli became the Artist-in-Chief at the Royal Opera House during the 1890s and revolutionized in-house design – before him, designer wouldn't even be credited in the production.
Early 20th century dancer Anna Pavlova was the world's first truly global ballet superstar and performed regularly at the Royal Opera House.
It's estimated that between 1910 and 1925, she gave more than 3,500 performances and notched up more than 300,000 miles on tour (that's further than the distance from the earth to the moon).
Sets at the Royal Opera House are stored and switched using a huge automated wagon system.
This system — which works in a similar way to a child's sliding puzzle — means that sets weighing up to ten tonnes can be switched in just 40 seconds.
Karlheinz Stockhausen in the Electronic Music Studio of the WDR, October 1994.
The world's longest operatic work is Karlheinz Stockhausen's Licht cycle, which lasts 29 hours. The German composer spent 27 years composing the cycle, completing the work in 2003.
The longest single opera in The Royal Opera's repertory is Die Meistersinger von Nürnburg, which lasts for five and a half hours.

Man sues parents for getting rid of his vast porn collection
Posted: Apr 15, 2019 / 10:24 AM CDT / Updated: Apr 15, 2019 / 10:24 AM CDT
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — An Indiana man is suing his parents for getting rid of his vast pornography collection, which he estimates is worth $29,000.
The 40-year-old man last week filed a lawsuit in federal court in Michigan, where he moved in with his parents in 2016 following a divorce.
He says that when he moved out 10 months later, they delivered his things to his new home in Muncie, Indiana, but that his 12 boxes of pornographic films and magazines were missing. His parents admit they dumped the porn, which included titles such as "Frisky Business" and "Big Bad Grannys."
The man filed a complaint with police, but the Ottawa County prosecutor declined to press charges. The lawsuit includes an email excerpt from the man's father, who told his son, "I did you a big favor by getting rid of all this stuff."
The man is seeking triple financial damages of roughly $87,000.

Lapa é um município brasileiro do estado do Paraná. Localiza-se a 25º46'11" de latitude sul e 49º42'57" de longitude oeste, a uma altitude de 908 metros. Está localizada na Mesorregião Metropolitana de Curitiba, mais precisamente na microrregião do mesmo nome, estando a uma distância de 62 km da capital do estado, Curitiba. Possui uma área de 2093,859 km². Sua população, conforme o censo demográfico do IBGE de 2010, era de  habitantes, e conforme estimativas de 2019, era de  habitantes. Os habitantes naturais do município da Lapa são denominados lapeanos.

A exploração da erva-mate e a atividade tropeira fizeram parte das atividades econômicas de sua história. Atualmente, apesar de ser um município mais diversificado em sua base econômica, traz consigo, devido ao seu passado histórico, o turismo, que mostra a beleza existente em seu Patrimônio Histórico e Cultural. Sua primeira denominação foi de freguesia de Santo Antônio da Lapa, sob a jurisdição da vila de Curitiba em 1797. Em 1806 devido ao rápido crescimento do povoado tornou-se a Vila Nova do Príncipe. Após algumas mudanças de jurisdição, finalmente, em 7 de março de 1872 a Vila Nova do Príncipe, desmembrada da Vila Rio Negro, foi elevada a categoria de cidade com a denominação de Lapa.

É rica em turismo histórico, cultural e religioso, como a famosa Gruta do Monge, e é o maior produtor de fruta de caroço do estado. Seu comércio subsiste com dificuldade devido à sua indústria incipiente, carentes de novos investimentos para geração de emprego e renda. A Lapa é uma cidade tranquila. Possui boa infraestrutura de saneamento básico, escolas (inclusive de nível superior), transporte, saúde e lazer. O município é conhecido historicamente por ter ocorrido nos arredores da cidade o famoso Cerco da Lapa. Em 1894, houve um sangrento confronto que envolveu pica-paus e maragatos, contrários à dependência do Rio Grande do Sul como uma unidade federativa dentro do Brasil. Nesse fato histórico tombou em combate o General Gomes Carneiro.

Etimologia
Lapa: Substantivo feminino, origina-se do vocábulo pré-céltico lappa em referência a uma grande pedra ou laje que forma um abrigo. A partir de 1731 se estabeleceu o pouso de Capão Alto, primeira denominação do que é hoje a cidade da Lapa. A primeira família que se fixou em Capão Alto foi a de João Pereira Braga e sua mulher Josefa Gonçalves da Silva. Em 13 de julho de 1797, Capão Alto é elevado à categoria de Freguesia. Em 6 de junho de 1806, Capão Alto passou a denominar-se Vila Nova do Príncipe. Em 7 de março de 1872, Vila Nova do Príncipe é elevada à categoria de município desmembrando-se de Curitiba e recebe, finalmente, a denominação de Lapa.

História
Lapa, antigo distrito e vila com a denominação de Vila Nova do Príncipe, foi elevado à condição de cidade com a denominação de Lapa pela lei estadual nº 293 de 7 de março de 1872.

O cerco da Lapa

Durante a Revolução Federalista em 1894, a Lapa tornou-se arena de um sangrento confronto entre as tropas republicanas, os chamados Pica-paus e os Maragatos contrários a república. A Lapa resistiu bravamente até que os Lapeanos comandados pelo General Ernesto Gomes Carneiro, caíram exangues em combate. Resistiram ao cerco por 26 dias, mas sucumbiram ante ao maior número do exército republicano.

O episódio ficou conhecido como o "Cerco da Lapa", a batalha deu ao Marechal Floriano Peixoto, chefe da república, tempo suficiente para reunir forças e deter as tropas federalistas. Ao todo foram 639 homens entre forças regulares e civis voluntários, lutando contra as forças revolucionárias formadas por três mil combatentes. Os restos mortais do General Carneiro, assim como de muitos outros que tombaram durante a resistência, estão sepultados no Panteon dos Heróis, vigiados permanentemente por uma guarda de honra do exército brasileiro.

Economia
Lapa está localizada a 64 quilômetros de Curitiba, 160 km do Porto de Paranaguá. A BR-476 que passa em meio a cidade (assumida por uma concessionária) é a principal Rota do Mercosul, ligando as regiões Sudoeste do Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul e países da América do Sul.

A Lapa tem um clima e solo para o cultivo de vários produtos agrícolas, a saber, da economia do município. Soja, milho, feijão, batata, fruticultura, são algumas das culturas desenvolvidas. Existe ainda a agricultura orgânica que vem desenvolvendo a cada dia e ampliando mercado. Detém hoje uma das maiores áreas plantadas de frutas de caroço do Paraná. Pêssego, ameixa e nectarina próprias para o abastecimento de empresas que fabricam doces, sucos, geleias e produtos afins

A pecuária também possui papel preponderante na economia da Lapa. O Núcleo Leiteiro conhecido como Projeto de Assentamento, que desde 1991 é denominado "a Reforma Agrária que deu certo" é um polo na produção de leite. Toda produção lapiana além de ajudar no abastecimento de Curitiba e região metropolitana, serve às cooperativas de laticínios para produção de queijos, iogurtes e bebidas lácteas. Já a avicultura abastece uma indústria alimentícia de grande porte e seus produtos são distribuídos no Brasil e exportados para vários países.

Vários empreendimentos já foram instalados, entre outros: a Naturalat, Café da Lapa e Mega Placas. O município já possuiu também duas pedreiras, porém atualmente ambas se encontram desativadas. O município sedia ainda a Cooperativa Agroindustrial Bom Jesus.

Crusader Hand Grenade and Bronze Knife Among Archaeological Treasures Retrieved from the Mediterranean Sea
A treasure trove of priceless artifacts, the earliest of which are 3,500 years old, were recently turned over to the state of Israel by a family that inherited them from their father who passed away.
One of the most striking gems the family had hung onto is a beautifully decorated hand grenade, of a type commonly used during the Crusader, Ayyubid and Mamluk periods.
Hand grenades filled with Greek fire (burning naphta) was a Byzantine invention that spread to the Muslim armies in the Near East.
They were filled with Greek fire and sealed so that all a soldier needed to do was throw the grenade toward the enemy to eliminate him. Characteristics that made it singular include its ability to burn on water and stick onto surfaces, extinguishable with sand, vinegar, or–bizarrely–old urine. Some historians believe it could be ignited using water.
Although the technology has changed over the centuries, the concept remains that all the soldier need to do was to hurl the grenade toward the enemy and it´s disseminate burning naphtha at impact. The hand grenades we have now are a direct descendent of these contraptions; we've just updated the concept by using explosives instead.

The family explained that their father, who was employed at the Hadera power station since its construction, retrieved many items from the sea while working there, which according to the family are quite ancient. The representatives of the Israel Antiquities Authority were surprised by what they found: metal objects, most of which are decorated, that apparently fell overboard from a metal merchant's ship in the Early Islamic period.

"The finds include a toggle pin and the head of a knife from the Middle Bronze Age from more than 3,500 years ago," stated Ayala Lester, a curator with the Israel Antiquities Authority. "The other items, among them, two mortars and two pestles, fragments of candlesticks, and so on, date to the Fatimid period. The items were apparently manufactured in Syria and were brought to Israel."

The seabed of Israel is an archeological treasure trove full of sunken harbors and shipwrecks that hides countless of artifacts.
Last May, divers announced the discovery of beautiful bronze statues, thousands of coins and other finds on the seabed dating to 5th century AD, off the Caesarea beach, which is very near the Hadera power plant.
Just a few months earlier, in February, divers discovered a lump of gold coins, also in Caesarea from the Fatimid era, about the 11th century AD. The finds are assumed to also have come from a shipwreck.

Report: Digital technology has 'central role to play' in reaching net zero
Smart meters, supercomputers, weather modelling and AI could help reach the 2030 net zero emission goal.
Digital technology has a "central role to play" in achieving net zero emissions and tech giants must play their part, a report has said.
Smart meters, supercomputers, weather modelling and AI could all help cut carbon emissions by one third in the next 10 years, according to the Royal Society.
It estimates that digital technology contributes between 1.4% and 5.9% to global emissions and recommends that firms be more open about their energy consumption, in particular from data centres.
The net zero transition should be data-led, with governance arrangements in place that enable the safe and rapid use of data to support the achievement of the net zero target, the report explained.
Regulators such as the Financial Conduct Authority should develop guidance on the energy proportionality of digital technology, such as Bitcoin, which "wastes huge amounts of energy" by being highly compute-intensive.
Professor Andy Hopper, vice president of the Royal Society and professor of computer technology at the University of Cambridge, said: "There are many routes to net zero but digital technology has a central role to play, no matter what sector or country you look at."
"This pandemic has accelerated the digital transition so now is the time to take stock and ensure the sustainable development of future digital technologies and systems.
He added: "Transparent technology can benefit consumers, the technology sector and the planet. If more people are confident in moving their computing onto the cloud, energy savings are possible using more efficient data centres.
"We must stay alert to digital demand outpacing the carbon emission reductions this transition promises. But this report shows how addressing barriers to innovation and harnessing the potential of our technology can make a sustainable net zero future a reality."
