Best long-term reviews 2020: lockdown life with our cars
Despite lockdown limiting the use of our long-term cars, they've still been put to work in a variety of rolls. These are the best of 2020...
by: Auto Express
A huge number of cars arrive each year to be tested by the Auto Express staff, but some of them stay a little longer. Our long-term test cars get a thorough examination as they are subjected to (normally) six months of constant use on our fleet - everything from transporting children to and from school to helping with home moves.
We had a wide range of long termers in 2020 and, although we weren't able to use them as often as we liked due to the Covid-19 crisis, they were still put to work. Read on to find out which members of the fleet delighted us the most throughout the year.
Scroll down to see which cars the Auto Express team enjoyed spending time with the most...
Best long-term cars 2020
Richard Ingram, Carbuyer and DrivingElectric editor
When Richard took delivery of our new MINI Electric back in March, he was looking forward to testing its credentials as the perfect commuter car. With a short nine-mile journey from his home to our offices in central London, the Congestion Charge-exempt supermini seemed like the ideal companion for nipping in and out of the city three or four days a week.
But when Covid hit, the MINI turned into a glorified shopping buggy – albeit one that allowed Rich to smugly collect his weekly essentials without spending a penny on fuel; his local Sainsbury's has a row of free-to-use 7kW PodPoint chargers, meaning he almost always arrived home with more charge than when he left.
As restrictions lifted, the MINI was thrust back into service, although instead of commuting in and out of London, Richard found himself using it on more motorway journeys – whether that was to collect a car from a press garage in the home counties or visit friends on the south coast. In doing so, our man discovered that the MINI was far from a one-trick pony; our hatch has lost none of that traditional go-kart handling in the switch to electric power.

John McIlroy, Deputy editor
The UK was on the verge of its first lockdown when the pieces fell into place for an exclusive photoshoot that would see deputy editor John McIlroy's Focus ST Estate lining up alongside another fast Ford load-lugger, Supervan 3.
This ludicrous marketing vehicle was originally powered by a 590bhp V8 engine form a Le Mans sportscar, but these days it's equipped with a more reliable 300bhp supercharged Cosworth V6. It still makes a proper racecar noise, though, and sounded pretty intimidating as it cruised up behind the bright-orange Focus estate for the pictures.
Of course, Supervan 3 is a Transit in name only; it's scaled down from a real van and is, in effect, a race chassis with a custom fibreglass body over the top of it. So while the ST was giving away a few horses to the van, John felt glad of its comfort and everyday practicality as he cruised away from our airfield location that windswept March morning.
Ford Focus ST Estate long-term test review
Andy Pringle, Chief sub-editor
It tells you everything you need to know about 2020 that Andy Pringle's highlight of the year was a weekend of appalling weather. However, it's not that he's a fan of torrential downpours, more that our T-Cross impressed on a drive during Storm Dennis in February.
Andy and his family were heading to Cambridge for a weekend of sport and socialising – and it's fair to say they were approaching the 200-mile round trip with some trepidation. But, although the T-Cross is pretty small – just 136mm longer than a Polo – it has a proper big-car feel. Getting to Cambridge took a comfortable two hours, and Andy was only forced to face the weather once – appropriately enough when nature called, with a stop at South Mimms services.
Otherwise, the only way the VW's occupants could tell how grim the weather was outside was how fast the torrential rain was being blown across the carriageway, and the angle of the roadside trees. Even at the height of the storm, inside the T-Cross was a haven of calm, and it always felt totally sure-footed.
Better still, with the wind behind the car all the way, Andy averaged almost 50mpg. Result!

BMW X5 xDrive45e
Steve Fowler, Editor-in-chief
As with many new-car buyers, editor-in-chief Steve Fowler had to wait until lockdown was over to get his new X5 delivered. And with working from home the norm, the plan for the X5 to provide all-electric running to and from our London office was thrown out of the window.
Instead, our X5 has spent more time on the motorway, doing the 150-mile round trip to Steve's father's home in Kent – and the M25 isn't the most efficient place for a plug-in hybrid. However, the X5 goes further than most on electric power – Steve regularly gets around 45 miles on a full charge. The car's clever tech will also get the navigation and hybrid systems to work together to use electricity where it's best (at either end of the journey) leaving the engine to take care of the motorway miles.
Otherwise, Steve has fallen for the X5 in a big way with space for his family of five (plus dog), and wife Victoria saying that the X5 is just about the most comfortable car Steve has ever run. He'd agree; the seats and ride are just about the best you can get in any SUV at any price.
BMW X4 xDrive45e long-term test review
Kim Adams, Products editor
Products editor Kim Adams' motoring highlight with the L200 was not using the big pick-up to shift samples for product tests, nor taking one of his track cars to a circuit. Instead it was a trip to his mother-in-law with just a cool bag on the back seat. It stuck in the mind for more than just the usual pleasure of a visit, because it was also to deliver a batch of meals that his wife, Glenna, regularly cooks for her mother, who is now in her 90s, has poor eyesight and lives alone. Supply was getting short during lockdown so the 'essential journey' was made to refill the freezer.
The other reason it wasn't forgotten was the ease of the trip from his home near Cambridge to his mother-in-law's flat in Shepherd's Bush, West London. It's a journey that usually takes around two hours, and frequently a lot more when you run the gauntlet of the M11, then either the North Circular or M25. Instead the trip was made in just an hour and 20 minutes, then a similar time home with no traffic at any point to delay progress. Definitely a memorable journey and one that's unlikely to be repeated.

Bentley Flying Spur
Jonathan Burn, News and reviews editor
March's lockdown had one unexpected consequence for Johnny Burn – temporary ownership of a £217,000 Bentley Flying Spur. The four-door saloon was only meant to be in his possession for a matter of days before it was handed over to a colleague on a photoshoot. But when Boris Johnson told the nation that nobody was going anywhere, it also applied to the Flying Spur.
The following day, Johnny had a phone call from the PR man at Bentley, who asked him whether, since the restrictions meant they were unable to collect the car, he would mind looking after it? Certainly no hardship.
Despite the limitations on where and what Johnny could do, the Flying Spur was put to good use. Johnny's partner, Robyn, is a school teacher, so was still going to work every day to look after vulnerable children throughout the pandemic. It seemed only right that her usual method of transport, the bus, was swapped in favour of something far more elegant.
After two months, a battle with the council to get a parking permit and several hundred miles shuttling a teacher to and from work, the Bentley was collected. A period of car 'ownership' that certainly won't be forgotten.
Darren Wilson, Creative director
Choosing the Corolla as a highlight might seem strange when Darren is now running our award-wining supermini of the year, the Renault Clio. We're not saying that the Corolla is a bad car, far from it in fact. But Darren's reasons for choosing it are purely sentimental.
Almost 21 years ago, Darren carefully loaded a car seat into the back of a long-term Honda Jazz to bring his newborn son George home from hospital. Fast-forward to 2020, and he helped to load George's son Zack into the Corolla for the first time. In an otherwise bleak year, that has to be a stand-out moment in anyone's book.
Toyota Corolla Hybrid Excel long-term test review
Pete Gibson Senior Staff photographer
As senior photographer, Pete covers more miles per year than anyone else on the team, travelling the length and breadth of the country to get the great shots you see every week.
Pete rarely travels light, with a boot full of lenses, lights and tripods, plus the obligatory car-cleaning kit. All this means that comfort and space are always high on his agenda. But the Mazda 3 that he's spent most of the year in has a couple of real X-factors for Pete. First were those looks. It really is the prettiest small family hatchback out there; something that's helped by that Soul Red Mica paint. Pete says it's one of those cars that you can't help looking back at – and in Pete's case photographing, too.
Pete was also knocked out by the Mazda's driving experience. He reckons it's one of the best-driving cars available at any price, and he often ended up taking the longer, scenic route home.
Mazda 3 Skyactiv-X long-term test review
Pete Baiden, Web producer
With so many people bemoaning BMW's decision to switch the 1 Series from rear to front-wheel drive, Pete was expecting our 118i M Sport to be disappointing to drive. However, from the moment he sat behind the wheel, it was hard to wipe the smile from his face. BMW has done such a good job that only an expert would really be able to notice the difference, and the practicality gains of front-wheel drive mean the hatchback matches its rivals for space.
The 1 Series' styling caused a few arguments, but the more time Pete spent with it, the more he grew to like it. BMW has since launched the new 4 Series and iX, and if anything the hatch now looks a little conservative.

Skoda Superb iV
Stuart Milne, Executive editor
Stuart swapped one plug-in hybrid for another, when he traded an Audi Q5 TFSI e for a Skoda Superb iV. The difference was stark, because while the Audi was fast, it all seemed a little unnecessary, and the Skoda provided everything he needed this year.
Economy impressed, with more than 45mpg possible even without plugging in. It also proved comfortable, well equipped for the money and relaxing to drive. As a family car, the big hatchback was the perfect antidote to the rise of the SUV.
Stuart was impressed with just how easy the Skoda was to live with, and while it wasn't the last word in fun, a decent driving position made the big car feel agile on country lanes. The Superb was quiet and cosseting over long journeys, too, and despite the PHEV tech eating into the boot, it has almost unimpeachable cabin space. Even after thousands of miles, Stuart still gives the Superb a perfect 10.
Skoda Superb iV long-term test review
Dawn Grant, Picture editor
Picture editor Dawn Grant had mixed feelings when given the keys to the MINI Clubman, because she admitted to not being a MINI fan. But after running the car for the best part of 2020, the Clubman won her over.
The MINI handled everything she threw at it, from delivering a TV and carrying her husband's golf clubs, to various DIY and garden equipment trips when they were confined to home. It provided a premium feel, and on motorway journeys it felt quiet and settled, too.
One talking point was the Clubman's barn doors. They're great if you have enough space around you when parked. But on the street or in a busy car park, as Dawn found, the twin doors can impact practicality in tight spots.
MINI Cooper Clubman Exclusive long-term test review
Steve Sutcliffe, Special contributor
Steve Sutcliffe took delivery of a Tango Red Audi RS 4 Avant five days before lockdown V1 happened, so to begin with he didn't do many long journeys in it, not even to test his eyesight. However, he was content merely to ogle the RS 4, what with its gorgeous 20-inch wheels, optional Audi Sport styling package and gleaming red paintwork.
When lockdown lifted, Steve was able to let rip with the RS 4, including a comparison test against the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Estate. The Audi fared well, and impressed with its thundering performance, fine composure, strong quality and effortless refinement, even though it used a fair bit of fuel in the process.

Volvo S60 T8
Steve Walker, Group web editor
The first lockdown was no highlight, but web editor Steve Walker did manage to unleash the S60 T8 plug-in hybrid's fuel-saving potential. He thoroughly enjoyed the car's motorway manners and turn of pace, not to mention its sharp design. But what he couldn't do was get within 100 end-to-end oil tankers of its official 123mpg fuel economy.
Yet with the whole nation staying at home, our man got a taste of how efficient plug-in hybrid motoring can be. Average economy pre-lockdown was around 40mpg, but the car covered around 300 miles averaging 105mpg when the 20-mile electric-only range could take the strain. Plugging-in was no hardship, either, and at around £1.70 a charge on Steve's home tariff, decent savings were made.

Detroit is dying, Some saw Detroit is already dead. But to those who have a love affair with the grit and grime which is the motor city, this is simply a metamorphosis.
As a cyclist and urban dweller, I've always been fascinated with bike couriers. Like the Pony Express of the urban jungle, they risk life and limb to deliver the essential documents of the corporate canopy.
In this documentary, I felt that this was the embodiment of a beautiful metaphor: as the great auto industry burns out, a small spark of life flickers at Detroit's core - the simple and sustainable business of delivery by bike.
One phone call later, I was chasing Tim Sargent, owner of Rock Dove Courier company, down Woodward Ave., dodging pylons, parked cars, and red lights. Energy, thrill and passion, back-dropped by the empty skyscrapers and relics of the old American dream.
Through the exciting life of a bike courier, this collection represents the life of rick and creativity which is essential for those that have any hope for the survival of Detroit's present and future.


People need someone to stir their compassion often, to make their tears flow, and to give their souls the supreme benefit of generous feelings. For through the wonderful compensation of nature they who give of themselves, grow; and they who withdraw into themselves, living for small pleasures and afraid to share them with others, thinking only of greedily satisfying their own appetites, will gradually change from a human into pure solitude, carrying in their hearts all the gray hair of wintertime.

We know what we're doing on Friday 21st of September. Do you? It's the most cultural time of the year with over 4,000 events across Ireland including many in the capital, and it's all FREE!
A kaleidoscopic programme is waiting to be seen, so we advise to plan you route ahead. Highlights in the capital this year include Bank of Ireland Cultural & Heritage Centre where you can enjoy the 'Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again' exhibition.
The fun of Culture Night will spill onto the streets of the capital city, with a diverse outdoor programme bringing the magic of Culture Night to a number of public spaces. The Vengabus is coming – Attention Bébé are bringing major party vibes to Meeting House Square with a high-octane set of their patented big-band covers of 90s hits. Nestled between Dame Street and Dublin Castle, Barnardo Square will be transformed with projections and pop-up performances throughout the evening including a selection of short films from Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland. Buried right in the heart of the civic offices on Wood Quay The Amphitheatre open-air stage area will come alive with pop-up performances throughout the evening. Exploring the cultural side of Dublin by foot, bike or bus is made easy with nearly 30 Culture Night Tours which include the Dublin Busking Experience, DoDublin Ghostbus Tour, Learning the Liberties and Dublin Ghost Signs Tours, unravelling stories from Dublin's past by looking up at its old signs.
DublinTown's very own street ambassadors will be on hand with Culture Night volunteers in our tourist kiosks on Stephen's Green; Suffolk St and North Earl Street; to help you get around on the night.
Audiences in the capital can travel with a 'cultural edge' on the night thanks to transport partners Dublin Bus and Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail. Dublin Bus will provide FREE buses every 20 minutes starting on Bachelor's Walk, Pearse Street, Aston Quay and Eden Quay bringing visitors to and from their favourite cultural quarters. In Cork, Bus Éireann will provide three complimentary bus routes to cater for those on the cultural hunt and Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail is offering 100 family passes for travel on Culture Night.
Visitors to Dublin Airport will have the chance to experience talks on the history of the airport and explore the 'Creative Journeys' art installations in partnership with NCAD and Business to Arts; Experience an evening of storytelling and conversation in the beautifully restored 14 Henrietta Street and discover what life was like in this Georgian Townhouse turned tenement dwelling through a taster tour of the newly opened museum; twice Oscar-nominated Brown Bag Films will host family friendly workshops and activities led by their very own Emmy Award-winning Director Marten Jonmark; Taking Flight invites families to take part in aerial movement workshops and later witness a spectacular circus arts performance by the Taking Flight group; and one of the first charitable hospitals in Dublin, Dr Steevens Hospital (1784), is opening its doors on Culture Night to allow visitors a sneak peak at its outstanding Edward Worth Library and their 'Mystical Creatures' exhibition.
New this year will be the Culture Night Podcast, a series of special podcast episodes with contributions from familiar faces and emerging talents in Ireland's cultural sphere. Episodes will be available to download across all platforms and from www.culturenight.ie on the morning of Friday 21st September, helping to whet the appetite for all the fun-filled activity that lies ahead that night.
Once again RTÉ partners with Culture Night to deliver remarkable performance and experiences across the evening. The famous, flagship "Dublin Castle gig" is crossing the river this year and it's breaking all kinds of new ground.
The full programme of events and participating venues for Culture Night 2018 is now available on www.culturenight.ie.

Nicholas Armand Hospital
The Sustainable Village and Learning Community (SVLC), located in Arcahaie, Haiti, is committed to the four tenets of Sustainable Development; society, environment, culture, and economy. Founded by a consortium of organizations, the SVLC is an initiative looking to strengthen local systems by engaging the community as a partner during the design and implementation process. Access to healthcare services and education is a key tenet of the SVLC project. The Healthcare infrastructure of Arcahaie includes 17 institutions, including one reference community hospital, Nicolas Armand Hospital. SUNY's initial assessment of healthcare in the region included a survey of healthcare professionals who overwhelmingly reported the need for improved healthcare infrastructure and a strengthened workforce. The healthcare workforce of Arcahaie reported a desire and need for educational access to support their clinical practices. Although initial development concepts for the SVLC master plan included an onsite Health Clinic, it was determined that the community would benefit most by strengthening its existing healthcare infrastructure and supporting it by developing health education and research programs. The first project tackled by the SVLC is to assess and improve the Nicholas Armand Hospital. The Hospital enablement project encompassed infrastructure review and upgrades to allow for the hospital to operate more efficiently and provide a higher level of care. The enablement process is step one of a larger master plan that will eventually include expanded services for the community and access to training for the staff.

Prior to the renovation, the operational costs of the facility were prohibitively high, and the hospital could not afford to keep the generator full. During the implementation phase, the team determined that the upfront costs of installing a solar system would help to offset fuel costs and keep the facility operational. The newly installed solar system is now the primary source of electricity. With less dependence on generator power, there are more funds available for healthcare services.
Our partner, Construction For Change (CFC), worked directly with a local construction supervisor, Jimmy on management tools and processes. Due to unforeseen circumstances when the CfC team needed to evacuate the site, Jimmy was able to continue to manage the project and the local team of laborers to finish the project on time, and on budget. Their oversight included training and skill-building for both the construction team and the facility maintenance team. This knowledge transfer will empower the local team to manage the upkeep of the facility and provide construction and maintenance services in the region.
The team worked with the hospital administration throughout the project to ensure the scope of work would be able to be maintained after construction. The maintenance and operational budget projections were used to ensure the administration will allocate the proper funds to maintenance services annually.

                             select new Scenario
                             {
                                 name = (string)s.Attribute("name"),
                                 ZthList = s.Elements("zth")
                                            .Select(r => new Zth()
                                            {
                                                m_node = (string)r.Attribute("m_node"),
                                                d_node = (string)r.Attribute("d_node"),
                                                time = (string)r.Element("data").Attribute("time"),
                                                value = (string)r.Element("data").Attribute("value")
                                            }).ToList()
                             }).ToList();
            List<Scenario> zth_d_node = scenarios.Where(x => x.ZthList.Any(r => r.d_node == "1")).ToList();

            Console.WriteLine(String.Join(", ", scenarios.Select(x => x.name )));
        }
    }
}

A: You need to improve your model to the structure of xml data. See:
public class Scenario {
    public string name { get; set; }
    public List<Zth> ZthList { get; set; }
}

public class Zth {
    public string m_node { get; set; }
    public string d_node { get; set; }
    public List<Data> data { get; set; }
}

public class Data {
    public string t { get; set; }
    public string v { get; set; }
}

Then:
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(...);
List<Scenario> scenarios = xdoc.Descendants("scenario")
    .Select(x=> new Scenario()
        {
            name= x.Attribute("name").Value,
            ZthList= x.Descendants("zth")
                .Select(y=> new Zth()
                {
                    m_node = y.Attribute("m_node").Value,
                    d_node = y.Attribute("d_node").Value,
                    data = y.Descendants("data")
                        .Select(z => new Data()
                        {
                            t =  z.Attribute("time").Value,
enter code here

                            v = z.Attribute("value").Value,
                        })
                        .ToList()
                }).ToList()
        }).ToList();

EDIT
If you would like to get only those zth nodes where d_node is equal to 1, you can change this line:
...
ZthList= x.Descendants("zth")
    .Where(n=> n.Attribute("d_node").Value == "1")  //condition was added
    .Select(y=> new Zth()
...

Then result will look like:

Odds are you have probably seen products labeled "gluten-free" around the grocery store, but what exactly is gluten and what is the reason for these gluten-free products?
Gluten is a protein that occurs naturally in nearly all types of grains. While gluten in most grains is of no particular health concern, the type of gluten that occurs in wheat, barley, and rye can be harmful to those who suffer from Celiac Disease or Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.
Celiac disease causes failure to digest the essential nutrients found in foods, due to gluten triggering a sensitivity to the small intestine. It is estimated that about 1 in 133 people have Celiac Disease and about 83% are unaware or misdiagnosed. The only treatment for those who suffer from CD is to eliminate the intake of gluten.
It is found that about 6% of the population suffer from Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. The symptoms associated with NCGS are similar, yet less severe than the symptoms associated with Celiac Disease. However, a person who suffers from Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity does not lack the antibodies and intestine damage that is seen with Celiac Disease.
Unless labeled "gluten-free" or made with alternatives like soy, rice, or corn.
At Market Basket, we want to make sure our customer's needs are taken care of. We offer a vast selection of gluten-free products and increase our selection on a daily basis. If you have any questions about our gluten-free product selection, please visit your store's manager or contact us.

Mark Zuckerberg Is Launching a Facebook Dating Service. Here's What You Need to Know
May 2, 2018 Shashank Tiwari 0 Comments
Mark Zuckerberg announced on F8 conference the world's largest social network Facebook will soon include a new dating feature — while vowing to make privacy protection its top priority in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. These new features will be available in the exiting Facebook App, and it would use information from your profile to match you with potential paramours based on mutual interests and friends.
Mr. Zuckerberg unveiled the plans as he addressed Facebook's annual F8 developers conference in San Jose, California — emphasising that the focus would be on helping people find long-term partners. Zuckerberg mentioned one of his favorite stories from Facebook users is marriages between couples who meet on Facebook. He described meeting people who'd point at the kids who have spawned from said pairings and thank him (hopefully it's less uncomfortable in real life than how he describes it). He went on to say the new features the company's introducing will be for "real, long-term relationships, not just hook-ups."
User will be able to create a separate "dating" profile not visible to their existing network of friends, with potential matches recommended based on the profile and dating preferences, mutual interests and common points. it will be free to use like Facebook. The Facebook CEO also said the dating offer was built from the ground keeping security and privacy in mind, as he underscored the firm's commitment to boosting privacy protections.
Coincidentally, shortly after Facebook made this announcement, the stock of Match plunged precipitously. Match – the company that owns Tinder, OKCupid, and Plenty of Fish – saw its stock plunge precipitously. It still managed to throw some shade at Facebook in a statement to TechCrunch:
We're surprised at the timing given the amount of personal and sensitive data that comes with this territory. Regardless, we're going to continue to delight our users through product innovation and relentless focus on relationship success.
The social network has already moved to limit the amount of data it shares with third-party applications and plans further steps to prevent a repeat of the Cambridge Analytica debacle, Mr. Zuckerberg said. Facebook is also reviewing applications overall as well as auditing those that accessed large amounts of data to make sure access isn't abused, he said.
"Security isn't a problem than you ever fully solve."
Mr. Zuckerberg said, outlining the slew of efforts by Facebook to battle election interference, misinformation, spam among other challenges.
"This is an arms race; we are going to be working to stay ahead of our adversaries forever."
Plans to simplify the Messenger app were also reveled, which critics contend has gotten clunky, and add group voice and video calls to Facebook's other messaging service WhatsApp.
The slew of announcements at the developer-centric "F8" conference also included the arrival of a stand-alone Oculus Go headset to widen support for virtual reality by supporting social experiences such as watch parties.

Like many other gambling addicts, I was literally on the brink of suicide before I was ready for change.
If I wasn't gambling, I was drinking. My addiction had taken total control of my life. One night after being in the bar, I came home to find that I just couldn't live this way any longer. I called a friend, told her I didn't want to live any more, and said I was going to take my own life. She told me to hold on, and within five minutes she arrived at my house. She took me to a friend's house and let me cry all night.
The next day, I made a call to my old counselor from an outpatient treatment group. She asked me a single question: "Have you had enough?" I had. She told me that I had to call Vanguard. They wouldn't take me unless I went for a Rule 25 alcohol assessment and agreed to inpatient CD treatment as well. I went in on September 18, 2002, and have not gambled or drank since.
Of course it was a long road that took me to that fateful day. I suppose it started way back when I was about 12 and my mother took me to play Bingo in Chicago. I won $300, but my mom had to say that she won. She kept the money and gave me $20. I had that rush…. and so it began.
Both of my parents were gamblers and alcoholics, and I learned it all at an early age. My mother owned a restaurant at one time and then later a bar. They would often have card games going for money with their friends and be drinking. My four siblings and I are all addicts.
My husband at the time, myself and my children eventually moved to Duluth. I played Bingo in a casino in an old-type setting that also included pulltabs. They had a bingo machine and I loved it. I would spend hours playing. I later moved back to Chicago and found the Bingo halls there.
At first I went to play Bingo once a month. It was my night out away from my kids and my husband. I never won any money. Then I went every two weeks … then every week and then twice a week. At first, I'd bring $10 a day to spend on gambling. Then it became $20. Then $40. My addiction was accelerating. By the time I stopped gambling, I wouldn't walk into the casino bingo hall with less than $200. I did that three to four times a week.
I realized that I had a problem. I went to GA, but I didn't like it. Instead, my gambling problem worsened and I remember lying to a credit union to get money I couldn't pay back. I borrowed money from friends and was unable to pay bills. I did this over and over.
When I wasn't gambling I was drinking. I went to outpatient treatment off and on for both my addictions for several years, but that never worked for me. I did stay clean and sober for five months, but relapsed on $12.
I won a $2,500 jackpot, the first big money I'd ever won, and then things got worse. I spent every penny I had as well as other peoples' money. One time my mother had given me money that was to be used to paint a bedroom. She was dying, and I used it for gambling. I convinced someone who was just about a total stranger to me to lend me the money so I could get the bedroom painted. I needed to show it to my mother before she died. After hours on the phone begging and pleading for the money, she lent it to me to cover my lie. Another time, my nephew earned some money from a catering job and took it and made up stories about how I hadn't gotten it yet. I took the money and gambled, and then had to make another deal with someone else, who used it to blackmail me later. This endless search for money eventually led to the day I was ready to end my life.
It's been more than 10 years now since I've been in a better place. I've been a keynote speaker at the Minnesota GA conference. I am the trustee of my area and represent some of the finest people I know. I talk about gambling issues and how they affect our area. This is something I could never have dreamed of. I started my own business in 2007 and it is thriving. I got remarried and have a wonderful relationship with my children.
I can't believe how different my life is now. It is so much better. I don't ever want to go back to the way things were. I don't have to, as long as I choose not to gamble, one day at a time.

Forums » General Help and Questions » Reviews button disappeared?
I do not see Reviews menu option anymore?
Victoria, it's now under Guests > Reviews. It won't live there forever, most likely, but we needed to park it somewhere while doing the Guest and other menu/header changes without cramming in too much. More changing around this soon.


I'm back and I'm gaming??
My exams are finally done and just one more quarter to go. I really am sorry for not having updated much but as you can already tell I'm not good at juggling school work and blogging. I suppose it's because I really want to do well in school that if I spent most of my time and energy blogging and not studying. But I will keep on trying to modify how I manage my time.
One of the causes for my lack of blogging is due to the fact that I have started playing Guild Wars 2. Thanks to my friend I have been hooked to this game and it took a lot of mental discipline to stop playing and study especially for the finals.
Trust me, I have always been avoiding video games and I've always said that I would and could never be interested but I was wrong. Once my friend introduced it to me, I was sucked in to his description of the game and after showing me the review (see clip below) and it took my breath away on the account that I was awed and the guy is just hilarious.
Now that I'm on my vacation I can continue blogging again I hope you guys enjoy once more.

A large amount of onion wastes are produced by both domestically and industrially, making it necessary to search for a reuse process. These wastes causing odor and in some cases causes harm to the environment. At 2017, Mexico produced 1.6 million tons of which 10% are classified as organic waste. The aim of this study was to contribute to the reduction of onion peel residues, using chemical pretreatments (H2SO4, HCl, H3PO4 and NaOH) to enrich the acidogenic phase in the anaerobic digestion (AD) to improve the yield of methane in a system coupled packed bed reactor with an Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactor (UASB) using peels and rotten onion waste. In anaerobic digestion of white onion residues in a single stage (PBR1) presented inhibition due to the accumulation of VFA during the first days, which delay the onset of the methanogenic phase, which occurred 63 days after the start of the experiment. Pretreatment with H2SO4 (PBR2) decreased the start time of the methanogenic pathway, from 63 days to 35. In the same way, the coupling of the UASB reactor to the packed reactor (PBR3) allowed the decrease of the methanogenic step after 14 days, and the total time for this process was 35 days. The yield for PBR1 was 0.013 m3 CH4 kg VSrem−1, for PBR2 0.014 m3 CH4 kg VSrem−1 and PBR3 0.017 m3 CH4 kg VSrem−1. The total yield of PBR3 + UASB was 0.41 m3 CH4 kg VSrem−1.

Sean Greenwood discusses the current state of the commercial UAV industry in Canada and how maintenance must be addressed by the general industry in order to increase safety and customer trust.
WW1 –> rapid increase in design and funding –>prop, fixed wing –> came home to roost in civilian airspace –> early ortho surveying, mail delivery, medivac.
WW2 –> ultra high speed prop fixed wing and the development of the turbine fighter –> lead to trans Atlantic, transcontinental flight.
Korea/Vietnam –> massive advancement in helicopter design, understanding of emergency procedures –> returned to the civilian theatre for medivac, power line installation, upstream exploration (oil and gas).
The Iraq/Afghanistan war(s) –> the unmanned age –> $3 trillion spent on both wars –> exponential increase in unmanned vehicles –> robust autopilots in combination of cell phone technology = exponential increase in civilian use of unmanned aviation products.
Through each of these inflection points the general population initially didn't fully trust the aviation technology and therefore enable certain use cases, until the reliability (intelligent design and maintenance of the designs integrity) got to a certain level. The reliability of airworthiness is established by the manufacturers and maintained by the AME or maintenance engineer.
What is critical for everyone to remember is that we are still in early days of this technology. What the market considers an advanced UAV systems design today will be laughable in 10 years. The previous advancements of design came from pilots pushing the limits and maintenance engineers making it work, then, the maintainer telling the manufacturer what the next model must have for these use cases/environments.
At the moment, there is a general disconnect between the manufacture and the operator because the middle ground does not have a well and uniformly educated engineer to express the requirements in the field.
Currently, UAV hull insurance is over 5 times that of manned aviation due to uneducated actors and a complete lack of structure around airworthiness. The largest underwriter in Canada has started to refuse to insure applicants due to several bad experiences such as operators intentionally crashing their UAV for a new model. This is in part thanks to the extreme depreciation rates of these vehicles but also that most people who buy these airframes don't know how to discriminate between a toy and an actual commercial aviation product. Only 1% of the people buying these units have the experience to ask: how the vehicle reacts to power failure, link failure, gps failure, whether there's a POH or maintenance outlines. When all commercial operators will be required to have compliant vehicles in the next 2 years you're going to see a massive 'write-off' vehicles claimed and the other operators will ultimately have to pay for it. There is an 'uneducated' component of this industry which is increasing the costs of operating for everyone else. More over that same component is under cutting true operators by under representing the true cost of compliance because again, they don't know what they don't know.
High Hull rates are forcing operators to self insure. This maybe acceptable for larger operations however the net effect is that generally people buy cheaper less capable systems as the cost of loosing the unit is otherwise very high. These cheaper units are not compliant, don't have operator training programs and don't have maintenance schedules. Self insurance is increasing risk to the whole National Airspace System. If we are able to get more formal maintenance structures the insurance companies can reduce the costs of hull insurance which will bring the industry into a more institutional steady state.
Rampant Illegal commercial flights advertised on Kijiji – 100 horizontal minimums from unincorporated persons/structures???
Maintenance is not only the bedrock of operations but also for the generally safe perception of the industry. Similar to the oil and gas industry, one pipeline spill by one operator brands the whole industry negatively.
The current UAV market effectively has its head in the sand with regards to what the systems can do and what they represent. 'Autopilot' is a misnomer. A pilot's job isn't to Fly A to B, it is to manage risk and in the event of a systems failure, to ensure that the vehicle and its inhabitants return to the ground safely. This technology represents a reduction or change in the number of tasks the human must participate in, as the 'system' manages more of the work load.
Maintenance of airworthiness is more important in some respects than it is in manned aviation as the technology is taking over more of the operator's roles, with the proliferation of 'pro-sumer drones' and their inherent (and perhaps criminal) negligence for standardized design. The latest offering from both DJI and GOPRO have oriented their NAV lights completely wrong. This is worse than if they didn't have any nav lights at all because now manned pilots who are flying near these aircraft are given false or misleading information of that aircrafts direction.
The point is that we are still in the early days of this technology. The use cases are still in flux and therefore so are the design and market participants. As such, we need to all realize that the systems must be maintained to 'as new' condition at minimum. Most of these units are 'built for purpose' in the USA or other warm climates. Canada is different… its colder, more barren and unforgiving.
Without proper record keeping and maintenance any issue or event will be solely on the operator and therefore the insurance underwriter (if they are insured properly). A well-trained maintainer who is following the manufacturer's instructions and ensure that all work has been recorded is an insurance policy. If the operator has done everything in their power both during the flight (pilot) and in the lead-up (maintenance) then the accountability lands on the manufacturer.
At the moment there is no effective mechanism to enforce the current rules at scale which is hurting the operators who are working within the rules. It's simply not practical to expect Transport to 'in person' audit all commercial and private operators in Canada. What is possible however is to have standardized Excel based logs sheets which outline the who, what, where, why of all flights.
An example of an Excel based log book which can detail certain 'parameters of interest' for quality assurance.
All autopilots can self generate the information for these logs and can even encrypt the entries from tampering from the operator. Transport can mandate that all future aircraft must have this function to be airworthy. The National Research Council (NRC) can develop the software and macros to audit the data so that all the Transport officer is presented with is the negligent actors. This further encourages 'good actors' and focuses Transports resources on future rules and enforcement on the smaller scope of 'bad actors'.
Unmanned technology is happening. There will need to be people to maintain these systems. There is no program for marine, land and air as of yet. This is an opportunity. This must be addressed.
As we are all aware, the next major hurtle is standardized commercial BVLOS flights in the civilian national airspace. This will not be a hockey stick growth graph with no set backs or massive leaps in enabling technologies. What is for sure however is that those of us who venture out into to this will either keep maintenance a priority for the betterment of not only ourselves but for that of the industry as a whole, or one bad apple will shut this whole thing down.
I propose we get a head of this while we still can. As we already have a 'compliant operators' syllabus we must also develop a 'compliant maintainers syllabus.
The Alberta Aviation Council has been working to get a UAV maintainers course registered with the province and we are hoping that you can understand the value of such a program and how it can help the industry and the country as it competes on the world stage.
SAIT has shown an interest in the maintenance component.
National Research Council is interested in this initiative.
Two organizations in Saskatchewan are interested in the initiative. One organization indicated that this maintenance program would be of interest in the United States as well.
The FAA stated that by the end of the year, 600,000 commercial drones will be flying.
If this application to the Alberta government is approved for a designated occupation for the UAV industry, it will be a first in Canada.
The UAV sales expected to grow from 2.5 million to 7 million in 2020 [report from the FAA], there will be a need for a certified maintenance technician to maintain these UAVs in a safe operating condition in part to eliminate the mechanical problems associated with UAV incidents. Of these sales, many of course will be commercial UAVs. Regardless there is 180% increase over a four-year period.
Over 130 industries in Alberta have been identified as having a connection with this industry.
Two UAV centers in Canada, Alberta is home of the Canadian Centre for Unmanned Vehicle Systems located at Foremost, Alberta and the diverging range of technologies and industries already located in this province.
To be approved this Fall, the Foremost operation, will be the first in North America to have Transport Canada authority to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) UAVs for testing and research. A major milestone for Alberta and Canada.
The Canadian Military has shown some interest in this maintenance program.
Transport Canada has shown in interest in this initiative.
Alberta Aviation Council is now on the CARAC workgroup.

Pengju
Mr. Pengju didn't see him I am, so he heard his interest first. My good friend Ruyu said that he was kind, sincere, generous and generous. I think a big reason is that the most brilliant part of his life is related to living and working in the vast land of Xinjiang, the Gobi beach and the smoke of the desert there must have tempered his rough character. However, when I saw him that day, I became happy. He was really a graceful and beautiful image of a gifted scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. He was knowledgeable and talkative. We talked about history, philosophy and literature. He was calm and natural, especially when talking about 17 years of literature, his interpretation gave me great inspiration, after all, the epochal nature of literature is inevitable. Any work cannot be a castle in the air. His interpretation of Hao Ran also makes me look at each other with new eyes. I talked with him about my favorite Xinjiang writers Dong Libo, Liu Liangcheng, Li Juan …… especially Dong Libo, who was familiar with each other and had similar experiences in Xinjiang Construction Corps, I have similar feelings, and all of them have the characteristics of loyalty and affection, which reminds me of the poplar trees there. Mr. Pengju was about to release his prose collection "Man Tingfang" by Wenhui Publishing House, and asked me to write a few words, which was my pleasure and honor. He was a bosom friend who could forget the new year. Soon, I received his 290,000-word electronic, in these days, day busy work and the evening sitting down and reading, I read of seriously, because I felt his solid knowledge and vigorous love for life and life from his words, which also deeply influenced me. In the season of bright and colorful flowers, reading "Man Tingfang" is a enjoyment of Anyi and a kind of dense honey and sweetness. He wrote down all the way, and so many flowers spread in my heart: Peony, plum blossom, Rose, daffodils, osmanthus, Azalea, Lily, wintersweet, Magnolia, begonia, Ziwei, Mulberry, Clove, peony, peach blossom, wisteria, primordial spring, durian flower, caryrus flower, bamboo, red leaves …… it is really as what Jade says: colorful flowers full of Tingfang. Mr. Pengju was like a gardener. He cultivated them carefully in his articles and took care of them patiently. They were his close friends and spent too many lonely years with him, because of these flowers with spirituality and charm, Mr. Pengju's loneliness is beautiful into lonely flowers. During the process of reading, I really benefited a lot. It was the first time for me to have such a systematic and comprehensive understanding of flowers, their characteristics, their values, their Humanistic Implications, from history and reality, from popular science and classical poetry, Mr. Peng Ju gathered them one by one. Happily, Mr. Peng Ju would also write poems by himself, express his inner joy and warm feelings. Reading these beautiful words like flowers and plants, my heart becomes fragrant. In the part of Tianshan bear trace, It is also extremely touching. What Mr. Peng Ju expresses here is his understanding of love, family affection and friendship. The tenderness and deep feelings of his past life are permeated through words. In the article "recalling mother", we can see an ordinary and great image of a mother who has endured hardships and hardships pulling her four children with her tenacity and tenacity, her simplicity, her kindness, her diligence …… all had a deep influence on Mr. Peng Ju. During the initial hardships of the Corps, I thought it was because of his mother's words and deeds that Mr. Peng Ju was persevering and able to follow the circumstances. Mr. Pengju himself filled in "an Gongzi-the memory of mother in The Birthday" to mourn his mother, which was very touching: The little summer heat was even the big summer heat. The first summer rain falls and the spring is already late. The Lion City Star Island family gathered together to read the heaven mother. In those years and October, Anran was warming the belly. A cry, win relatives shout. Celebrate your birthday today and recall your love. Wandering clothes, thousands of needles and threads moisten the skin. The lamb is grateful and kneels on the breast. Xinxiang burning red candle. Good man, four sides inspirational grand plan. Comfort my father and child with bitter temples. Looking at the charming young girl, the newcomers stand out. We feel the loyalty of a wife, the kindness of a mother, and the yearning of a son in this poem. When people reach a certain age, they often like nostalgia, and those memories are the flames that warm their old age and illuminate the lonely and cold days. I once recited censhen's "White Snow Song carrying military judges back to Beijing". In "Xinjiang snow", I once again experienced the desert style, and this time not only let me feel the sad friendship in the desert border pass, it also made me feel that the snow in Xinjiang in a wandering person's heart had already turned into snow in his heart for decades, floating in his memory for a long time, washing his mind. The snow is impressive, sensible, smelly, lovely and lovely …… at this moment, my heart is saying: the distance is a call, and Xinjiang is a beautiful temptation. After retirement, Mr. Peng Ju came back to Shanghai to enjoy his life. His son settled down in Singapore with a successful career. During His clear days, he began to salvage his memory slowly with words and gradually enjoyed his own beautiful sunset glow, what I want to say about his writing is that Mo Dao Sang Yu is late, and the sky is full of Xia Shang. Mr. Pengju likes reading and traveling. No matter where he goes, Henan, Xinjiang, Shanghai and Lion City, they have always been fixed in his heart. There are close relatives here, there are his unforgettable friends, as well as the accumulation of years, which are slowly poured into Mr. Peng Ju's poems. I will not list them one by one. As long as you read them, you will read his flowery mood. From the words and words of Mr. Peng Ju, I just proved the instruction he wrote to his son: The words came out of high mountains and flowing water, and the words went after the spring snow. Finally, I wish Mr. Peng Ju a happy, warm and happy life for his loving family. Like (prose editor: Jiangnan wind) the snow in spring

Girl / Tiny Tim & Brave Combo
I first heard Brave Combo on some program on National Public Radio. I can't say I'm a big polka fan, but there's something about these guys that's infectious. When they demonstrated how People Are Strange by The Doors could be polkafied, they really had my attention.
I'm old enough to remember when Tiny Tim made his first appearance on Laugh In. He was, and remained to the end, a joke. But I could never quite figure out if he himself was in on the joke. I hope so.
But combine these two unique talents and you get an album that's funny, serious and not half bad. Some of the selections are unfortunate; some are inspired. I'll let you figure out which is which.

Rod tungsten
Tungsten is chemically resistant metal. Does not respond to the presence of moisture, the concentrated solutions of alkalis and acids. To 400 °C in oxygen, Aqua Regia. Up to 600 °C in hydrogen chloride, hydrogen 700 °C for ammonia to 800 °C in carbon monoxide, nitrogen boiling mercury. He reacts with a mixture of nitric and hydrofluoric acids, a mixture of hydrogen peroxide with ammonia at t° red heat, and hydrogen sulfide and chlorine — about 250 °C, boiling sulfur hot Aqua Regia, nitric acid, melts nitrite, potassium chlorate and nitrate, lead dioxide, sodium nitrite, bromine, iodine, fluorine. Carbide WC is obtained by reaction with carbon at 1400 °C and oxide WO2 — by reacting with sulfur dioxide, water vapor (at t° red heat), or oxides of Mg, Th, Al, carbon dioxide (t° 1200 °C and above).
Exceptional heat resistance (t° PL. of tungsten is +3422°C), high temperature creep resistance, high elastic modulus, the minimum coefficient of thermal expansion in comparison with other metals, resistance to aggressive agents and corrosion resistance, strength, durability and reliability. A steel after aging at the temperature of red heat lose their hardness, but tungsten — no. This quality is called the red hardness. Alloy tungsten tool steel makes possible the most intense metal processing with the speed of tens meters per second. This metal is due to refractoriness, is one of the most durable and heat-resistant alloys. Higher melting point among all the simple substances has only carbon.

The drawbacks include the difficulty of obtaining tungsten in its pure form, great weight, and brittleness at low temperature. Tungsten rod not sufficiently plastic at ordinary temperatures, because of its exceptional properties to process (rolling, drawing and forging) only with considerable heat.
Rod is the most popular products with a standard cross-sectional dimension. The complexity of manufacturing tungsten rod is connected with low technological plasticity of tungsten at normal temperatures. When heated increases its plasticity and strength remains high, so it is produced using heat treatment under pressure. Fort (original stock) obtained by methods of powder metallurgy. The rod is heated, after which Raskulinecz on a rotary forging machine. Bars are produced with a diameter of 2 — 3 mm and supply usually in the form of straight line segments.
Rod, wire used as a semi-finished product for the most critical components that operate in extreme conditions, heavy loads and higher temperatures. Machinery, military, metal working, petrochemical industry, metallurgy, mining industry today can not do without tungsten rod. It is an indispensable material in hot working of metals under pressure (mandrel piercing mills, matrices, presstampa) and alloying of tool steels. It uses the glass industry in the form of a mixer for the melting of glass melting electrodes and other nodes furnaces. It serves for the production of molds and cores used in casting machines under pressure for alloys. Tungsten electrodes are widely demanded for welding of creep resisting and low alloy steels. Electronics and electrical engineers uses a tungsten filament coils for incandescent and cathodes in cathode ray tubes, lamps and other vacuum tubes.

Q: Rounding down dbl values in R? library(tidyverse)
library(nycflights13)

This is what my code looks like, I'm getting my desired output. However, I'd like the temperature temp values to be rounded down. How can I achieve this?
It seems that my temp column is classified as <dbl>.
dep_delay_by_temp <- flights %>%
  inner_join(weather, by = c(
    "origin" = "origin",
    "year" = "year",
    "month" = "month",
    "day" = "day",
    "hour" = "hour"
  )) %>%
  group_by(temp) %>%
  summarise(avg_delay = mean(dep_delay, na.rm = TRUE))
dep_delay_by_temp

A: dep_delay_by_temp <- flights %>%
mutate(temp = floor(temp)) %>%
  inner_join(weather, by = c(
    "origin" = "origin",
    "year" = "year",
    "month" = "month",
    "day" = "day",
    "hour" = "hour"
  )) %>%
  group_by(temp) %>%
  summarise(avg_delay = mean(dep_delay, na.rm = TRUE))
dep_delay_by_temp
