Sunbeam Cycles, propiedad de la empresa John Marston Limited de Wolverhampton, era una marca británica de bicicletas, y desde 1912 hasta 1956 también de motocicletas.

Tras la muerte de John Marston después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, la empresa fue comprada por las Industrias Nobel (posteriormente ICI). Associated Motor Cycles compró la fábrica en 1937, y poco más adelante fue BSA quien compró Sunbeam en 1943.

La motocicleta Sunbeam más famosa fue la S7, con sus característicos neumáticos abombados, su barra de transmisión y su motor de dos cilindros gemelos en línea con válvulas en cabeza.

Historia
Sunbeam Cycles fue fundada por el industrial británico John Marston. Nacido en Ludlow, Shropshire, en 1836, pertenecía a una familia de pequeños terratenientes. En 1851, con 15 años, se trasladó a Wolverhampton para trabajar como aprendiz con Edward Perry, un fabricante de objetos de latón lacado que imitaban el estilo japonés. Con 23 años fundó su propia empresa de latón lacado, fabricando toda clase de artículos domésticos. Tuvo tanto éxito, que cuando Perry murió en 1871, Marston pudo comprar la empresa de su antiguo patrón y la fusionó con la suya propia.

En 1887 Marston empezó a fabricar bicicletas, y por sugerencia de su mujer Ellen, adoptó la marca Sunbeam; sus talleres de la calle Pool recibieron el nombre de Sunbeamland.

John Marston era un perfeccionista, lo que quedó reflejado en la alta calidad de construcción de las bicicletas Sunbeam, que disponían de un carenado alrededor de la cadena que permitía que los eslabones bañados en aceite se mantuvieran lubricados y limpios. Las bicicletas Sunbeam se produjeron hasta 1936.

Motores
Desde 1903 Sunbeam había hecho algunos experimentos tempranos para añadir motores a las bicicletas, pero no tuvieron éxito y costaron la vida de una persona. La aversión de John Marston a las motocicletas frustró nuevos planes en esta línea, y los siguientes productos experimentales fueron automóviles. Así, se empezaron a hacer pruebas en la década de 1890, que culminaron en 1902 con los primeros coches fabricados para su venta. Tres años después, en 1905, se fundó la Sunbeam Motor Car Company, una organización independiente dedicada a fabricar coches, localizada a una milla de Blakenhall.

Sin embargo, el desplome del mercado automovilístico hizo que Marston se viese obligado a fabricar motocicletas de 1912 en adelante (cuando ya contaba con 76 años de edad), un producto para el que había un mercado grande y creciente. Siguiendo la tradición de sus bicicletas, las motocicletas eran de gran calidad, normalmente con un solo cilindro, y eran conocidas como las máquinas de los señores. Las motocicletas Sunbeam protagonizaron brillantes actuaciones en el TT (Tourist Trophy), la famosa carrera disputada en la Isla de Man.

Otra  línea de productos de la compañía se inició en 1931, con la fabricación de motores marinos fuera borda, primero comercializados como Marston Seagull, y más  adelante como British Seagull.

Propiedad
Después de la Primera Guerra Mundial la compañía de John Marston se vendió a un consorcio, que en 1919 pasó a ser parte de las Industrias Nobel. En 1927 Industrias Nobel se fusionó con Brunner Mond Ltd. para formar Industrias Químicas Imperiales (ICI). En esta enorme organización las motocicletas eran tan solo una pequeña parte del negocio.

En 1937 la marca de motocicletas Sunbeam se vendió a Associated Motor Cycles Ltd (AMC), que continuó fabricando bicicletas y motocicletas Sunbeam hasta 1939. El núcleo del negocio de AMC era la fabricación de motocicletas Matchless y AJS. Algunos años después de vender Sunbeam, AMC adquirió las marcas Norton, James y Francis-Barnett. En 1943 AMC vendió la firma Sunbeam a BSA, que absorbió la marca. Las Sunbeam no eran construidas en la fábrica principal de BSA en Small Heath, Birmingham, si no en una segunda fábrica que poseía en Redditch, Worcestershire. Se produjeron tres modelos de motocicletas Sunbeam entre 1946 y 1956, todas inspiradas en los diseños de BMW suministrados a la Wehrmacht durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Entre 1959 y 1964 se fabricaron dos modelos de escúter con la marca Sunbeam.

Modelos

Bicicletas Sunbeam

Las bicicletas Sunbeam (conocidas como "The Sunbeam") se fabricaron en Wolverhampton desde 1887 a 1937. Cuando la factoría fabricaba productos de latón lacado de estilo japonés (el equivalente victoriano de los esmaltes vitrificados) la construcción de bicicletas presentaba pocos problemas. Al principio sus máquinas tenían un diseño similar al de otros fabricantes, pero ya en la década de 1890 la compañía adoptó en sus bicicletas una versión del sistema de J. Harrison Carter, que utilizaba un pequeño cárter para lubricar la cadena en un baño de aceite. El sistema consistía en una carcasa que recubría por completo el mecanismo de transmisión, que servía de recipiente del aceite. Ha sido la única bicicleta hasta la fecha con un diseño tan singular.

Las máquinas de Sunbeam estaban diseñadas para durar toda la vida, y tal es su longevidad que modelos con un siglo de antigüedad todavía conservan sus acabados, cadena y transmisión originales. El modelo superior era el "Golden", con llantas de aleación, cambio epicíclico de  dos y tres marchas y esgrafiados decorativos con pan de oro. El modelo "Royal" era de la misma calidad pero estaba decorado en color rojo y tenía un equipamiento más sencillo. El modelo 'RR' se utilizó en la olimpiada en 1929 y el posterior 'Golden Light Roadster' utilizaba una estructura de tubos 'Cromoly'. Estos y otros modelos se fabricaron  hasta 1937 junto con las motocicletas en "Sunbeamland", en la calle Pool de Wolverhampton, y posteriormente los mismos diseños fueron producidos por AMC hasta 1943 y por BSA hasta 1957.

Motocicletas Sunbeam
La Sunbeam de John Marston produjo numerosos modelos de motocicletas. El primero fue una máquina con un motor de 350 cc lanzada en 1912, seguida por una gama de modelos con motores de 500 cc monocilíndricos o con cilindros gemelos en V. En 1924 se introdujo un nuevo sistema de denominación de modelos, con numeración del 1 al 11. Modelos con números más altos se produjeron en años posteriores. La mayoría tuvo motores nonocilíndricos que desarrollaban potencias relativamente bajas, aunque ganaron la carrera del Tourist Trophy a menudo, la última vez en 1929. Un sello distintivo de todas las  Sunbeam de Marston era su magnífica calidad y su decoración en negro con grabados en pan de oro.

Motocicletas modelo S

El modelo S fue diseñado para BSA por Erling Poppe, siendo fabricado de 1946 a 1956. Había tres tipos: S7, S8 y S7 Deluxe. Los tres eran muy caros, y el rendimiento de sus motores modesto, por lo que sus ventas fueron pequeñas.

Su inusual diseño era una característica notable de la S7, con un motor y una transmisión similares a las de un coche. El motor estaba montado longitudinalmente. Disponía de dos cilindros gemelos verticales en línea, con válvulas en cabeza, 500 cc de cilindrada, bobina de ignición y lubricación por inmersión, que a través de un embrague en seco enlazaba con la rueda trasera mediante una barra de transmisión. El motor en línea hizo tecnológicamente factible este diseño (las motocicletas BMW con motores bóxer de dos cilindros "gemelos" horizontales ya habían utilizado la transmisión por cardán). A diferencia de BMW, que utilizaba un sistema de piñón y corona para impulsar la rueda trasera, Sunbeam utilizaba un tornillo sin fin con un engranaje espiral de bronce. La poca dureza del bronce provocaba un rápido desgaste de los componentes de la transmisión.

El modelo S7 original se fabricó entre 1946 y 1948. En 1949 salió al mercado la más deportiva S8, con  neumáticos de perfil normal (en contraposición a los neumáticos abombados de la S7), y horquilla delantera del tipo BSA. El diseño de la S7 se mejoró y entonces pasó a ser vendida como S7 Deluxe. La S7 original estaba disponible solo en color negro, mientras que los colores estándar para la S8 eran el "gris policromático" o el negro. La S7 Deluxe se vendía en "verde neblina" o en negro. Si eran comercializadas en el extranjero entonces BSA suministraba las motocicletas Sunbeam en casi cualquier color que BSA utilizase. A pesar de que las primeras S7 no se vendieron muy bien ni tuvieron una gran reputación mecánica, actualmente son más buscadas por los coleccionistas que las S7 Deluxe y las S8.

Cuando la producción de Sunbeam llegó a su fin, BSA vendió las piezas restantes a Stewart Engineering, y esta compañía es la única proveedora de recambios para las motocicletas Sunbeam posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Q: How to click on a dropdown option using C# selenium I need to click on one of the dropdown options in order to expand page entries from 10 to 50. HTML looks like this:
  <button id="page-size-dropdown-toggle" class="btn btn-white btn-sm dropdown-toggle ng-binding" data-toggle="dropdown" role="menuitem" aria-label="Change page size">
    10

    Shown
  </button>

        10

        25

        50

As you can see there are 3 options 10, 25 and 50. Here what I have tried so far:
clicking of the drop down and using LinText - Cant find this element
var dropDown = driverIpass.FindElement(By.Id("page-size-dropdown-toggle"));
dropDown.Click();
driverIpass.FindElement(By.LinkText("Show 50")).Click();

using XPath (unclickable element) tried different paths as well, no avail
IWebElement element = driverIpass.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@class='dropdown-menu']/li[3]/a"));
element.Click();

As well as XPath using @id
Also tried digging around within classes hoping to find the correct link - nothing. There is something I don't see/realize.
It's my second day using C# and selenium so if anyone could put me on the right path I would really appreciate it.
I cant provide the actual web page as this is internal (company)

A: Try with WebDriverWait() and following css selector.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driverIpass, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.CssSelector("#page-size-dropdown-toggle"))).Click();
wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.CssSelector("#page-size-dropdown-toggle-menu li a[aria-label='Show 50']"))).Click();

A: Found an answer after posting my question. In case someone else might have a similar problem:
//click to open drop down menu
var dropDown = driverIpass.FindElement(By.Id("page-size-dropdown-toggle"));
dropDown.Click();

//select the 3rd option within menu
IWebElement element = driverIpass.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@id='page-size-dropdown-toggle-menu']/li[3]/a"));
element.Click();

Shortly after the loss of Father, Mother elected to endure double knee replacement surgery. Mother had cared for Father in his final years, and now she intended to enjoy her remaining years with the new mobility offered by replacement knees.
The replacement surgery went without problems, but afterward Mother struggled to wake up. By the next day it was apparent that Mother was in a drug-induced coma. For 11 days, the family relied on one another for strength until the call came from my sister that Mother had emerged from her coma.
Living nine hundred miles from Mother's hospital, visiting for more than a weekend was difficult. One Saturday I received a call from my sister that Mother was asking for me and if I could call at 5:00 p.m., I would be able to speak with Mother. "Do you have Mom's telephone number?" Yes, I replied, but why don't you give it to me anyway?
Mom, do they still have part of that trachea attachment in your throat? Your voice seems a little different. "I'm not sure," she replied. I thought this seemed odd. Surely Mother must feel the oxygen tube that gets connected to her throat while she sleeps. Mom, how do your knees feel? "My knees? I guess they're okay." Hearing this I decided that it was time to wrap up our conversation.

Which Are The Very best Alternative News Sources (English) On
This page lists but a couple of of the 1970's most handsome television actors who have been busy operating on weekly series of their own or busy creating guest star appearances on well-known shows of the time period. Marketing- The entire dynamics of marketing and advertising have been changed, and rather than investing in mass channels ads, companies are becoming far more customer-centered by way of interactions produced more than social media. These shows give gold-diggers fuel to think in an unrealistic life-style rather then advertising getting educated or company savvy. Republicans said that Obamacare would have Death Panels" to make a decision who would live and who would die.
This young man, at the moment enrolled in his sophmore year college in Port Au Prince, is eager to continue and complete his education in the US, and will likely seek permanent US residence in the future if this is an choice. I just wanted to say that I currently live in Binghamton, in the southside, and I love this city. Some chose that life to want to reside homeless simply because they never have any responsibility.
Discover more about high quality larger-education opportunities in the U.S. that you will not uncover anywhere else in the planet. Our retailer has been open a year now, and my business partner and I are itching to get paid an income. I am truly shocked , Americans lowest wage is about 8$ an hour which is a lot of occasions far more than hugely qualified people earn in a lot of other nations and but they live okay. Whilst this paper has discussed micro-blogging in the context of Twitter, it is possible that a new service may replace it in the future.
You could also complain about the video directly on YouTube and see if Google will eliminate it. Great luck. Priscilla Barnes was Rebecca Tomkins and Debra Clinger was Amy Waddell, two stunning reporters who worked for The American Report a Television news program. I've identified a handful of books at that relate to enterprise failures, from all perspectives. Obama could not run a dog grooming organization and that is sad your content with a do absolutely nothing but against the nation acts President. James Earl Jones was Woody Paris a police captain who also taught a course in criminology at a neighborhood college.
By 1987, that quantity decreased to 29 corporations and now it is down to five: Time Warner, Disney, News Corp, Bertelsmann, and Viacom, with GE as a close sixth (Bagdikian, 2004). You are so brave to share your story with us. I appreciate it. I can't say a lot but live the life to fullest. It signifies a clear understanding of the aspects that contribute to enterprise accomplishment is a lot more crucial to enterprise than ever just before.

Quite Frankly - Change!
Change Comes From Within...
...and also you need it to get a shopping cart!
Quite Frankly... my plan was to write what I think about whatever happens on any given day.
Plans change, don't they? So logically, I decided to write about change.
They say that change is hard; that change is good; and what's more, that change is inevitable.
For me, change was hard at first; soon it became very sloppy but lately it's been perfectly wonderful.
I see the value in what C.S. Lewis said, "It is very hard for an egg to turn into a bird but it would be much harder to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We cannot go on indefinitely being just ordinary, decent eggs. We must hatch and fly or go bad."
While not exactly 'flying', my charming wife, the ever-lovely Ora and I have undergone some big changes since moving to Italy. This was due to the influence of the pastoral southern Italian culture where 'things' do not change so much as people change to suit 'things'. What do I mean by 'things', you'd like to know? Well, I'm very happy you asked.
We have changed to embrace the obvious. We now measure our trips in kilometers, not miles; our temperatures in Celsius, not Farenheit; and our money in Euros, not dollars. But changes have been subtle as well as well as obvious. For instance, animals here make different sounds than they do in the United States... or so I am told. Roosters, they say, chant "CHICHIRICHI", (keekeereekee) to greet the day. Now to American ears, it may sound as if they still yell "cockadoodledoo"... exactly as they do in the U.S., but no... that would be wrong. I have been assured by local fowl experts that roosters are notoriously monolingual and since these are 'Italian roosters' they must in fact, be yelling "CHICHIRICHI" and not "COCKADOODLEDOO". Frankly, I never realized that rooster crosstalk was so cunningly nuanced.
Not to be outdone, Italian dogs insist on barking "BAU-BAU", (bow-bow) and not "bow-wow" as is the convention in the USA. I have listened intently, wide-awake in the middle of the night, when the canine grapevine is most active, to detect the dialectical doggie difference between their 'bau' and my 'wow'. I haven't yet been able to discern it but I'm reasonably certain the locals recognize exactly what's being barked and they would tell me if anything changed.
My charming wife, the ever-lovely Ora and I recently adopted an adorable Italian puppy. Why, you might wonder? Well, I'm very happy you asked.
She was anonymously gifted to us one night via a cardboard box. It's been about six weeks now and we are teaching her (the dog, not my charming wife) to say bow-wow, like a proper American Jack Russell Terrier. In spite of our efforts to change her, I suspect that she still barks with a severe bau-bau accent. Needless to say, in Italy it is immensely difficult for me to sing even a single verse of 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm'.
Let's address all the recent changes that Italians have made to their traditional Italian food here in Italy. In a word... none. Other words come to mind... zero... nulla... niente. In fact, do you know what they call 'Italian Food' in Italy? Well, I'm very happy you asked. They call it 'food' - and what you may think of as authentic 'Italian Food' might not really exist. For instance, there is no Spaghetti Bolognese. Bolognese sauce (ragù alla Bolognese) comes from the north of Italy but the pasta we all call 'spaghetti' originated in the south. So the dish is actually 'Tagliatelle Bolognese'. But to change from traditional tagliatelle and replace it with upstart spaghetti would cause a riot. Blood, or even worse, wine could be spilled. Don't dismay, because the red sauce stains on your favorite shirt will never know the difference.
The amazingly fresh chicken uniformly available at every Italian grocery store is very tasty indeed. PLUS - Italy is home to the world-famous king of cheeses, Parmigiano-Reggiano, (the USA's so-called Parmesan). However, there is absolutely no such thing here as 'Chicken Parm' which is actually American as apple pie.
In this continuing quest for change, you should also forget any dish named after anybody called 'Alfredo' or 'Boy-ar-dee'. And by the way, there is NO 'Olive Garden Cooking Academy', NO Italian salad dressing, NO garlic bread, and NO, NO, NO pepperoni pizzas. Please consign to oblivion everything that the crack marketing team at Totino's Genuine Pizza Rolls has told you on TV. There is simply no such thing as 'Italian Fast Food'. Convenience driven, microwavable, plastic-packaged and frozen pizzas aren't to be found. I know. I've looked. What we have instead is beautiful, fresh, locally grown food that makes eating in Italy a delight. Meals last for hours, with the finest food and wine in the world.
There are three sure-fire ways into my heart. What are they you may demand?
Well, I'm very happy you asked.
1) Buy me delicious food
2) Make me delicious food
3) Be delicious food.
The food here is grown, prepared, and enjoyed s-l-o-w-l-y. Lunches and dinners are leisurely, unhurried affairs eaten with one's family and friends. What we have is unique regional cuisine like bruschetta- a chunky slice of country-style bread toasted over an open fire, rubbed with a fresh clove of garlic while it's hot, and brushed with the best olive oil... a quick sprinkle of salt, maybe a crushed tomato and leaflet of basil... ecco! The bruschetta is ready! In mere minutes, every pizzeria is able to produce a steaming hot, crispy crust 'Pizza Calabrese' topped with spicy Calabrian salame baked in a ferocious wood-burning forno... or melanzane parmigiano, a layered eggplant lasagna baked until it is buttery soft and tantalizing. Wine is always encouraged of course. And afterwards, it's expected that you will treat yourself to something especially tasty... a pastry or two, maybe a fine gelato, at least a sumptuous chocolate. But always, it is obligatory to sit and relax; to linger at the table. One must never hurry when it comes to food... nor most other things either. In Italy it is not about 'saving time' it is about 'savoring time'.
So yes, we have changed. My charming wife, the ever-lovely Ora and I have embraced the Italian culture along with all the little things that make all the difference. The Italian culture has embraced us right back. (I did mention that change got sloppy didn't I?) While we spend much more time in Italy than the USA these days, both cultures, both countries, feel comfortable. Change has put us at peace and we don't feel like visitors anymore. Calling two places home is to know that people are more alike than they are different. America in its diversity has countless 'Little Italy' communities but nothing compares to the real deal, 'Big Italy'.
Speaking of change, we now never leave the house without a pocketful of change. Spare change comes in handy here. Customers eagerly offer exact change to clerks; coins are used to pay tolls on highways, buy a newspaper or magazine, or pay postage due at the post office. You even need a coin to release a shopping cart at the grocery store. All which reminds me of a story: Not having any small change, a well-dressed customer sarcastically hands a $20 bill to a tie-dyed, new-age hot dog vendor. 'OH MASTER, MAY I RECEIVE ONE WITH EVERYTHING?' says the dapper customer. Not missing a beat, the hot dog vendor takes the $20, hands the customer a hotdog and responds, "CHANGE COMES FROM WITHIN GRASSHOPPER".
At least change can make us all smile in the same language.

Quite Frankly... is written by Frank Macri
Frank is an award-winning advertising professional, now retired, from Denver, Colorado who is living the sweet life in southern Italy. In addition to a successful career in advertising, he had stints as the owner of an old west saloon, a film and stage character actor, a certified Santa Claus and a university professor... all of which, he says, are 'remarkably similar'.
He now focuses on traveling, honing his skills as an Italian chef, and writing about Italy as he and his charming wife, the ever lovely Ora, renovate their home in beautiful Basilicata.
Their journey back to Italy started 100 years ago when their ancestors first arrived in the United States. Frank and his wife had dreamed of completing the circle of immigration by returning to their ancestral roots in southern Italy.
Their collective memories of the traditions, values and Italian lifestyle drew Frank and his wife back many, many times until they finally bought their house in Italy and moved there permanently.
In honor of the past, and in anticipation of the future, their lovely home is named, 'La Casa Cent'anni', (The Hundred Years House). 'Cent'anni' is also a celebratory toast of goodwill.
So, "Cent'anni" to you, and to us, and to the next 100 years!

The resident musicians invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy conversation with new friends about another wonderful day ashore.
Please note that the Vasco da Gama cruises are sold primarily to the German market and therefore the majority of passengers onboard will be German.

Extensive reconstruction in the 1980s turned it into an attractive area with bars, restaurants and museums, including the renowned Tate Liverpool. Today, Liverpool's dry spell is barely visible, and the city is modern and visitor-friendly.
Known primarily for its two famous football clubs, its music scene and the birthplace of The Beatles, Liverpool can look back on an 800 year old maritime history, which can be wonderfully explored in the Maritime Museum in the Albert Docks, like six other municipal museums no admission required. The Beatles and their pop music, which has marked an era, is dedicated to the neighboring museum The Beatles Story.

I have a wired sb3 that is with out doubt the best addition to my system. I've noticed a problem while a song is playing and I try to browse other artists, when I hit the down arrow it schrolls more then one line at a time and I have to arrow up to see what I missed. Am I missing somthing in the setup screens? If it is stoped and not playing it schrolls just fine.
There was a problem with SB2/3 and some versions of the server, where the remote keys were doubling up. What version of the server are you running?
I'm running 6.2.1 with firmware 28. I don't think it's remote problems since it only does it while playing.
It wasn't a problem with the remote.
It was a problem with the server misunderstanding the remote when it was playing.
There was a problem with SB2/SB3 firmware prior to 35 which meant that when playing flac files, it was possible for IR commands to be sent to the server such that it confused button presses. This is fixed in the most recent nightlies of 6.2 and 6.5 which contain firmware 35.

Len Downie: For-profit news orgs won't create enough journalism
By Jim Barnett @jimbarnett26 March 24, 2010, 10 a.m.
By any measure, former Washington Post executive editor Len Downie epitomized success in the traditional, subscription-and-advertising model of newspaper journalism: With a staff that once topped 900 and an annual budget of $100 million, his newsroom hauled in 25 Pulitzer Prizes over 17 years and wielded influence from Congress to the darkest recesses of the nation's capital.
Since stepping down from the Post's top newsroom job at age 66, Downie has taken on a professorship at Arizona State University. But behind the scenes, he also is lending his experience to help shape the practices and prospects for the burgeoning nonprofit sector in journalism.
Why? Simple: Downie says the for-profit model alone no longer can support the kinds of investigative, explanatory, and accountability journalism that society needs. As the for-profit sector shrinks, journalists and interested readers must explore new ways to underwrite their work.
"There are going to have to be many different kinds of economic models," Downie said in an interview at the Post's offices. "The future is a much more diverse ecosystem."
Downie has made himself an expert on the nonprofit model, and wrote about its possibilities in his recent report, "The Reconstruction of American Journalism," with Michael Schudson.
Less known, perhaps, is that Downie casts a wide net as within the nonprofit sector of journalism. He's a board member at the Center for Investigative Reporting, which recently launched California Watch to cover money and politics at the state level. He also chairs the journalism advisory committee at Kaiser Health News, which has provided niche explanatory reporting to leading newspapers, including the Post. And he's also on the board of Investigative Reporters and Editors, which has incorporated panels on the nonprofit model into its conferences. (I should note that I am a part-time editor for the Washington Post News Service.)
Looking across the sector, Downie sees great potential — and some big, unanswered questions.
On the upside, nonprofits are helping journalism move toward a more collaborative model, Downie said. In the old days, newspapers resisted ideas and assistance from outside. But in the new news ecosystem, collaboration is a way of life. "All of our ideas have been changed about that," he said.
Also a plus: Big foundations and the public at large are warming to the idea that news organizations are deserving of their support, just like the symphony or any other nonprofit that contributes to society's cultural assets. "There's a question of whether there's enough public realization," Downie said. "I think we're heading to that direction. Awareness is growing steadily."
But a lot of questions still must be sorted out, Downie said.
High on the list, he said, is the most basic of all: Where will the money come from? Like other nonprofits, nonprofit news organizations will have to find the right mix of foundation money, grassroots support, advertising, and perhaps additional government support, he said.
That leads to the other big question of sustainability: It's not clear that all the nonprofits that have launched in recent years will survive. "How many will succeed and for how long?" Downie wondered. A related question: How will the collaborative model will settle out, and where nonprofits will find productive niches?
Downie said he also has been watching nonprofits wrestle with the issue of credibility — how to achieve it and how to keep it.
The answer begins with editorial independence and transparency about financial supporters, Downie said. But when it comes to painting a bright line between journalism and ideology, advocacy or spin, there are no magic formulas to assure readers — just the experience of trial and error.
"It's one of these things that's proven by its exceptions," Downie said. "When there's an exception, it's a scandal."

Anathema exclusive album stream: Get a first listen to the band's new record Distant Satellites
Jenn Selby
Thursday 05 June 2014 10:46
"Fortunately for us the tunes keep coming," Anathema's Daniel Cavanagh said of the band's 10th studio album, Distant Satellites, which is streaming in full on The Independent today.
"We're not very conscious writers. We're people who let the music come through us and we try to get out of the way a little bit. It's as much about getting out of the way as it is about controlling the music."
True to his word, the progressive band from Liverpool have been successfully "getting out of the way" of their own music since their conception in the mid Nineties. This time, however, they've eschewed unnecessary complexity in favour of a meticulous, stripped back approach to their songwriting.
"We thought it was time to strip the elements back, so unless something really needs to be there we're not gonna put it on," Cavanagh continued. "It was a bit of the Radiohead Kid A approach. OK Computer was very dense and layered, and they came back with this stripped back recording that was based and built around the vocals, and it wasn't totally jammed and multi-layered."
The record was produced and mixed by Christer-André Cederberg at his own Cederberg Studios in Oslo, Norway, as well as Steve Wilson, who mixed some of the tracks, and Dave Stewart, who composed the orchestral arrangements.
It's set to be released on 9 June 2014, and can be pre-ordered here.

Q: DS Question on arrays working for simple test cases but error on submitting Question:Given an array arr[] denoting heights of N towers and a positive integer K, you have to modify the height of each tower either by increasing or decreasing them by K only once.

It's hardly just the facial hair: Spillane is the horn player for Neutral Milk Hotel, and really, for all of Elephant 6, lending his time-distending, stately-yet-sloppy touch and fondness for atypical instrumentation—euphonium, flugelhorn, that sort of thing—to any E6 record that would have him. Like Jeff Mangum's heart-stopping bleat or Julian Koster's swooning saw, it's impossible to imagine the sound of Elephant 6 without him.
But this truncated version of the Spillane story—horn guy, has beard, knows Jeff—leaves out one crucial bullet point: Spillane not only played with some of the best of Elephant 6, for a brief time, he helmed one of the collective's finest bands. Spillane came up in Ruston, Louisiana, alongside Mangum, Apples in Stereo pixie-stickler Robert Schneider, and merry Olivia Tremor Control prankster Will Cullen Hart. And right at the peak of E6's powers, Spillane, his NMH compatriot Jeremy Barnes, late guitarist Will Westbrook, and fellow E6 mainstay John D'Azzo released Are You Sleepy?, the first of two LPs as the Gerbils. Where 2001's The Battle of Electricity is pleasantly anodyne, 1998's Are You Sleepy? is anything but: It's a roughed-up, fuzzed-out, in-the-red power-pop album with proggy ambitions and some deep-fried weirdness just beneath the surface. While not a full-bore classic, it stands among the best of the second-tier E6 offerings, a longtime fan favorite recently reissued on vinyl for the first time in 20 years.
The first thing anybody notices about Are You Sleepy? is Spillane's voice—he may look like a backwoods dope farmer, but he sings like a cartoon bumblebee. Warm and warbly in the Daniel Johnston mold, his falsetto cuts straight through all the gnarled lo-fi static around him. While most Elephant 6 records attempted to transcend their home-taped origins, Are You Sleepy? is a lo-fi record in every sense, every level screaming hot, every seam undisguised.
Compared with the world-building wonder of classics like Aeroplane, Sleepy? can feel a little one-note: catchy but a tad on the sweet side. Listen closer, and you'll hear Spillane's not afraid to mix in a little sour: "Sunshine Soul" likens a budding romance to a cup full of spiders, and "Crayon Box" turns a missed ride to a nearby Portastatic gig into a full-on existential crisis. There's a semi-surreal, Southern gothic vibe to many lyrics, and much of Are You Sleepy? is written on the body: a lot of knees and lips, teeth and tongues. Quite a few songs trace a kind of fly-on-the-wall longing: the feeling of going unnoticed, of fraying connections with your small circle, of departures both temporary and permanent.
Smack in the middle of Sleepy is "Wet Host," a five-and-a-half-minute ambient noise collage that separates the record into two distinct halves.The second takes a midnight-dark turn on "Walnuts," where Spillane recalls a sudden reemergence of "childhood dreams and violent screams" as his syrupy voice overruns with bile. You'd be hard pressed to call Sleepy? an angry record, but it's got more than a few moments like these, where Spillane's good-natured facade betrays a kind of uncontrolled bitterness.
Sleepy is best when it lets these stranger impulses seep into the songs, and at its worst when self-indulgence starts to crowd out the songs themselves. The choppy "Ted Doesn't Mind" devolves into a horny street preacher/"Convoy" routine that's funny approximately once, and as intermissions go, "Wet Host" would be just as effective at half its length. But these flickers of excess are short-lived. Twenty years on, Are You Sleepy? still feels like the razor blade in the apple.

Rick Atkinson (ur. 1952 w Monachium) – amerykański dziennikarz i autor książek. Uhonorowany sam lub z zespołem czterema Nagrodami Pulitzera.

Atkinson urodził się i dorastał w Monachium, gdzie jego ojciec był oficerem armii amerykańskiej w bazie wojskowej.

Tytuł licencjata zdobył na Uniwersytecie East Carolina w 1974 roku, a tytuł MA na Uniwersytecie Chicagowskim dwa lata później. Pierwszą pracę jako dziennikarz podjął w The Morning Sun w Pittsburg w stanie Kansas.

W 1977 roku Atkinson zaczął pracę w Kansas City Times. Pracując w tym czasopiśmie, w 1982 roku zdobył swoją pierwszą Nagrodę Pulitzera, w dziedzinie reportażu krajowego, za cykl artykułów o roczniku 1966 akademii West Point. Atkinson miał także wkład w pracę zespołu nagrodzoną Nagrodą Pulitzera w tym samym roku za reportaż o katastrofie w centrum Hyatt Regency.

W 1983 roku podjął pracę w The Washington Post, gdzie był dziennikarzem odpowiedzialnym za Pentagon i wybory prezydenckie w 1984 roku. Przez dwa lata był także redaktorem krajowym. W 1988 roku wziął urlop w celu ukończenia swojej książki Long Gray Line, którą rozpoczął pisać jeszcze podczas pobytu w Kansas City.

Do Washington Post wrócił w 1989 roku, gdzie został głównym reporterem I wojny w Zatoce Perskiej. Po tym okresie ponownie wziął urlop w celu dokończenia książki o tamtych wydarzeniach: Crusade: The Untold Story of the Persian Gulf War.

Po powrocie w 1993 roku był redaktorem działu berlińskiego, zajmującego się konfliktami w Bośni i Hercegowinie oraz Somalii. W 1999 roku Washington Post zdobył Nagrodę Pulitzera za służbę publiczną za, będącą pomysłem Atkinsona, serię reportaży i doniesień prasowych o pracy wydziału policji waszyngtońskiej.

Kolejną nagrodę Pulitzera zdobył w roku 2003 za książkę historyczną An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942-1943.

A synapse is the fundamental structural unit by which neurons communicate. The importance of synapses cannot be overstated as their collective activities impact every moment of our subconscious and conscious mind. Furthermore, synapses are formed and continuously restructured throughout life based on different experiences, which ultimately shapes us as individuals with unique memories, thoughts, skills, and personalities. How the trillions of synapses in a brain are wired into functional neural networks and the mechanisms of experience-dependent synaptic plasticity are important outstanding questions.
I am particularly fascinated by synaptic adhesion proteins, which bind across the synaptic cleft to form a molecular interface between pre- and post-synaptic membranes and also initiate intercellular trans-synaptic signaling. These proteins are at the junction of our genes and experiences and are critical for initiating and stabilizing synaptic changes in a multitude of ways. My research goal is to understand the molecular logic of how synaptic adhesion proteins, in a defined brain circuit, orchestrate synaptic formation, modification, and function, and to ultimately provide an explanation for how these events influence behaviors, in particular the aberrant behaviors associated with neuropsychiatric diseases.
The immediate focus of my research is on the neuronally secreted C1q-like family of proteins. The lab will study the biochemical interactions with their pre- and post-synaptic protein binding partners, their synaptic signaling activities, and their eventual behavioral consequences. A priori, their localization in the synaptic cleft almost predestines them to have neuropsychiatric disease relevance. Genetic analyses of C1q-like mutant mice revealed behavioral abnormalities potentially resembling several neuropsychiatric diseases, including ADHD, schizophrenia, and addiction predisposition. How C1q-like proteins and their binding partners influence synapses and ultimately behaviors is unknown. The techniques used in the lab to answer these questions encompass biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, circuit analysis using viral vectors, and mouse behavioral assays.

Q: Stored procedure causing timeout only when run from application We have runned into a problem with an sp.
We have a pretty simple sp containing a declared table and a couple of outer joins that in the end returns between 20 and 100 rows.
Since querying this sp has been giving us poor performance both in production and in testenvironment we recently rewrote it to be more efficient and has tested thouroughly with great performance in our testenvironment.
We released it to production just to find out that it is still very slow and are causing our .NET 2.0 application to timeout when it is called.
We understood nothing and went into Management Studio on the production database and ran the sp there, it executes under 1 sec.
That is, when ran from our application it is extremly slow and causes timeouts, when ran from Management Studio it is very quick and never takes more then a second.
Anyone with good knowledge of SQL Server 2005 that can give us a hint regarding this?

A: Recompile is a blunt instrument. It's most likely parameter sniffing
See this question: Stored Procedure failing on a specific user

A: I think that your problem might be "Parameter sniffing".
It is a process when SQL Server's execution environment "sniffs" the sp's parameter values during compilation or recompile to generate faster execution plans. But sometimes it gets a combination of parameters which together with the current data the sp will return makes a really slow sp.
There are a couple of good explanations out there. Search on Stackoverflow.
This is one is good:
http://omnibuzz-sql.blogspot.com/2006/11/parameter-sniffing-stored-procedures.html
One possible solution is to create local variables in the sp and set the incoming parameters values to them. Then use only the local variables in the sp.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].spTest
  @FromDate as DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
  DECLARE @FromDate_local as DATETIME
  SET @FromDate_local = '2009-01-01'

  SET @FromDate_local = @FromDate
  ...
  SELECT * FROM TestTbl WHERE FromDate >= @FromDate_local
END

A: Thanx for the replies guys, seems as running sp_recompile solved the problem, at least everything has been running smothly since I executed it yesterday afternoon, will keep watching it and see if it stays quick.
Don't however understand that recompile wasn't made when I changed the content inside the sp?

A: Make sure your production database has up-to-date stats and the indexes are in good condition (if possible consider rebuilding the indexes involved).

A: Can you be sure that there is not a deadlock situation occurring? The run from management studio would be isolated where as from the application this might be part of a bigger transaction.

A: I recommended that you should change your preferences in SSMS, so that you by default connect with ARITHABORT OFF to avoid this kind of confusion. But there is actually a small disadvantage with having the same settings as the application: you may not observe that the performance problem is related to parameter sniffing. But if you make it a habit when investigating performance issue to run your problem procedure with ARITHABORT both ON and OFF, you can easily conclude whether parameter sniffing is involved.
