Rappen è una moneta di piccolo taglio che era usata nella Germania meridionale, in parte della Svizzera e nell'Alsazia meridionale.

Attualmente è il nome tedesco della moneta da un centesimo di Franco svizzero. Il plurale è invariato e quindi rimane "Rappen". In francese il nome della moneta è centime (pl. "centimes"), in Italiano, centesimo ("centesimi") e in romancio: rap (pl. raps).

Storia

L'origine del nome della moneta è interpretata etimologicamente in diversi modi.

In precedenza si riteneva che il nome derivasse da un Pfennig coniato per la prima volta a Friburgo in Brisgovia nel XIII secolo oppure dall'aquila rappresentata sul Rappen di Colmar (Colmar Rappen). Su queste era raffigurata un'aquila che dopo poco divenne un corvo (Raben in tedesco). Un'altra ipotesi era che derivasse dal Pfennig del Conte di Rappoltstein che presentava una testa di corvo.

Attualmente si pensa invece che in nome sia stato causato dal colore scuro delle monete a causa della scarso titolo d'argento. In Alto tedesco antico (Althochdeutsch) "rapp" significa "scuro" e attualmente "Rappe" è il termine usato per indicare il "cavallo scuro". (v. wiktionary)

A prescindere dall'etimologia è sicuro che il (Raben-) Pfennig, si diffuse nell'Alto-Reno e che diede nome al Rappenmünzbund.
Il Rappen era anche chiamato Zweilinge (zwei = due) perché un Rappen valeva due Pfennig.

Nella cosiddetta Lega del Rappen (Rappenmünzbund) del 1377 si riunirono numerose zecche tra cui il vescovo di Basilea anche per le sue zecca di Breisach; in Alsazia aderirono Colmar e Thann, dall'attuale Svizzera la città di Basilea,  Sciaffusa, Zofingen, Zurigo, Berna, Soletta ed inoltre Friburgo e altri comuni nella Brisgovia e nel Sundgau in Alsazia.

L'obiettivo era avere una moneta comune e favorire quindi i commerci.

Il Rappenpfennig fu quindi scelto inizialmente come unità monetaria principale. Nel 1584 la Lega fu sciolta.

La maggior parte dei cantoni svizzeri continuarono a coniare Rappen. Nel  1798, nella Repubblica Elvetica fu introdotto il franco svizzero, diviso in 100 Rappen.

Questa valuta non riuscì a sostituire completamente le valute dei singoli cantoni. Dopo la fine della Repubblica Elvetica i cantoni coniarono sia Rappen sia altre monete spicciole che variavano da cantone a cantone.

In seguito alla creazione dello stato federale, nel 1850 fu introdotto come valuta svizzera l'attuale franco svizzero che aveva lo stesso valore del franco francese ma valeva circa lo 0,7 della precedente moneta svizzera dallo stesso nome. Di conseguenza fino allo scioglimento dell'Unione monetaria latina il Rappen corrispondeva al francese Centime. Per questo motivo anche ora il Rappen in francese si chiama centime e in italiano centesimo.

Oggi

 le Svizzera conia monete da 1, 5, 10 e 20 Rappen. Inoltre anche la moneta da ½-franco (questo è il nome ufficiale), è considerata una moneta da 50 Rappen. La coniazione delle monete da 2 Rappen è terminata nel 1974. Il pezzo da 1 Rappen, di bronzo, non ha alcun valore pratico nella circolazione monetaria svizzera e viene venduto, dalla Swissmint ai collezionisti al prezzo di 4 Rappen. Il nome colloquiale per il pezzo da 1 Rappen è Räppler, mentre i multipli del Rappen in alemanno sono soprannominati füfi (oppure secondo il dialetto föifi, fünfi, fünfer, föifer), zähni, zwänzgi e füfzgi.

Per qualche tempo la Swissmint ha progettato di togliere dalla produzione i pezzi a 1 e da 5 Rappen, poiché il costo della loro produzione è superiore al loro valore nominale. La produzione di una moneta da 1 Rappen ne costa 12, mentre quella da 5 ne costa 6. Eliminando la loro produzione si risparmierebbero circa 300 000 franchi svizzeri. Mentre sull'eliminazione della moneta da 1 Rappen nessuno pone obiezioni, molte organizzazioni si oppongono alla soppressione della moneta da 5 Rappen perché temono un aumento dei prezzi causato dalla sparizione di questa moneta.

Secondo le decisioni della Swissmint, il pezzo da 1 Rappen non sarà più prodotto dopo il 1º gennaio 2007.

Most Hated: Michael Serrano's Camaro Destroys the Competition
BY Jason Reiss //
Many enthusiasts are bitten by the speed bug inadvertently. Maybe it's a neighbor who has a car with a serious exhaust rumble that catches the attention, maybe a gearhead family member makes the introduction to horsepower, or, as in the case of Pennsylvania's Michael Serrano, a ride in a friend's Fox-body Mustang became the spark which set his life aflame with a passion for speed and performance.
"Racing that around town was all I needed to go out and get my own," says Serrano.
But unlike many racers who pick one vehicle brand and stick with it for life, Serrano has no such allegiance. I met him for the first time in January at the Dyno Wars IV event put on by our friends at Fonse Performance, where he waited until the very last run of the night to claim the title of Dyno Wars Champion for 2017.
On that day, Serrano's Camaro, which boasts a turbocharged big-block running on gasoline (more on that later) bested some of the stiffest competition the Pennsylvania/New Jersey/Delaware tristate area has to offer by laying down a seriously-impressive 1,781 horsepower and 1,622 lb-ft of torque on the notoriously-tight Fonse Performance chassis dynamometer. Most impressively, this is Serrano's second time as the champion of Dyno Wars; he also took home that title in 2014, although the engine setup at that time was quite different, featuring a blow-through carbureted configuration rather than the fuel-injected setup the Camaro wears today.
Serrano, who says he is "universally despised" among his local racing peers, built this car with one purpose in mind: to be the hands-down, fastest legitimate street car in the Northeastern United States, and his wins at Dyno Wars help to cement that concept.
But there's more to the story. Before you think "oh, it's just a dyno queen", Serrano also puts this car on the dragstrip regularly, competing in Cecil County Dragway's Tri State Street Car Challenge, which requires that the vehicle be street-legal, with tags and insurance, and – get this – must be driven into the gate at the track. Not only that, but if someone wants to question a car's legality, they can request a road trip challenge that requires the driver in question actually take the car out on the road and prove its worth.
"In 2016 we accomplished that task, winning the Cecil County Tri State trophy three times," says Serrano.
"There was a lot of stiff competition from some very fast cars. We were definitely an outsider breaking into the good old boys network there, and they typically frown upon others who say they are going to drag your ass and then do it. But all in all we made some new friendships and all the ribbing is in the spirit of competition and egos, as it usually is when it comes to fast cars."
The Camaro, which took Serrano and many friends approximately three years to build, wasn't even his project at its outset.
"This car was originally a very good friend of mine's project car. At that time it was only a V6 roller, but after he bought a K-member and cage kit for it, I think he realized how long and expensive it would be to build," Serrano explains.
"I was originally building a Mustang and once I saw the black Camaro I knew this was the car I wanted to build. We immediately made a deal and the project kicked off. I did not have much help on the design of the combination other than people telling me a single turbo on a big-block Chevrolet engine wouldn't work, and I feel like we have proven that thought process wrong."
Despite nearly two decades of experience 'playing with cars', Serrano struggled with this build quite a bit during the process, as nobody was building this type of one-off street car at the time for him to rely on or seek advice from; the car comes in at a portly 3,900 pounds, which is a huge disadvantage at the track and makes chassis tuning quite the challenge. Assistance during the build process came from Rubright Racing and Frank Soldridge of PSI Speed Inc., both of whom provided what assistance they could to get Serrano up and running.
The Wolfe Racecraft chromoly roll cage was installed by Serrano's longtime frenemy, Jace Nester. The two have a healthy love-hate relationship which was on display on the day I shot these photos; Nester's twin-turbo LS-transplanted Mustang can be seen in the below photo, and will be featured here on Front Street soon in a feature of its own. Listening to them talk smack at one another for a couple of hours on a Sunday morning was hilarious, and the rivalry between them drives each to be a better racer.
The engine is based around a Dart block and Brodix BB2 cylinder heads machined by Lorenzo D'Amore and the team at Lorenzo's Fast Flow Cylinder Heads, displaces 565 cubic inches through the use of a Callies Magnum crankshaft, Manley billet connecting rods, and Manley forged pistons.
A custom Comp Cams camshaft with lift figures of .780-inch on the intake side and .750-inch on the exhaust combines with 260 degrees of intake duration and 268 degrees of exhaust duration to keep the engine in its happy place. Jesel rocker arms and Crower Xtreme valve springs manage the airflow, which is inhaled through an Edelbrock Super Victor intake manifold and Wilson Manifolds intake elbow.
The real money is made by the 118mm turbocharger from Precision Turbo & Engine, and the entire works is controlled by a BigStuff3 engine management system tuned by Cimino. Even more impressive is that this car makes so much power through a $250 set of street rod block-hugger headers designed to maximize clearance in the tight confines of the Camaro's engine bay – there are no custom $3,000 stainless headers here.
A Trans Specialties Powerglide couples with a PTC Titan torque converter to send the power to the Moser Engineering nine-inch Ford housing. In order to handle the power, Serrano chose a Strange Engineering aluminum through-bolt case. Moser's 40-spline gun-drilled, star-flanged axles receive the power from a set of 3.90:1 gears and transmit it to the ground through a set of double-beadlocked 15×10 Weld RT-S wheels and Mickey Thompson 275/60/15 ET Radial Pro tires. Up front, a set of 17×4.5-inch Weld Alumastars complete the look.
The engine combination was built to make big power, but getting that power to the ground at the track on a radial tire, proved to be another challenge in itself. Amazingly, this car still relies on a stock-style torque arm from BMR Suspension to go with the TRZ Motorsports antiroll bar/Panhard bar combination in the rear of the car, with BMR's stock-style replacement parts in the front.
But without the personal experience required to sort the chassis tuning out on his own, Serrano made the mistake of looking for advice from a number of people who didn't help the situation any – until he turned to one champion in particular.
"I had more chassis issues with the car than tuning issues for the most part. Everyone telling me I needed this or that made the car very inconsistent. I finally talked to Ron Rhodes [of X275 fame] and he told me I needed a real strut and shock on the car," says Serrano.
With that in mind, he went out and purchased a set of Santhuff struts and shocks, and finally was able to put the power to the ground and make the chassis work consistently. Once that became the norm, harnessing the power became the challenge, and he turned back to Soldridge and local tuner Dominic Cimino of DC Performance, who was working the keys on the laptop at Dyno Wars.
"Both of them had a huge hand in getting the car to become consistent, and taught me a lot about what it really means to fine tune a car like this. It's one thing to build it, but it's another to have the attention to detail to make it run," he says.
"The most challenging part of the build was not getting discouraged with setbacks and failures. There were plenty of mistakes which resulted in big bucks to fix, but not quitting is something I am especially proud of. I have to thank my close friends for that – and my wife Lisa for putting up with me," sums up Serrano.
He's not done, either, as "the gorilla is coming," he says. I can only wonder at the meaning of that statement, but I have a distinct feeling it's bad for the competition.

Q: How to compare data with difference in scale? I am working with the data obtained from a travel survey from a town. I have the data from mean of trips made by different travel modes on the day of the survey. From a national suevey I have got data of total number of trips made by each travel mode for the towns with similar populations.
Could you suggest  a way to compare these two except calculating percentage of each mode across the five travel modes.
Because the data from the town we conducted the survey is much smaller in numbers than than numbers from the national survey.
They look as follows
Total number of trips weekdays
in **low populated towns**            436000/   137000/ 39000/  88000/  225000
Average number of trip by each mode
on day of survey in the  **town X**   126,6/      23,6/     2/      5/     34,8

A: If you want to see something about the share of travel mode in town X vs. the others, then I think proportion is what you want. Estimated numbers will be estimated numbers, no matter what you do to them. Maybe not "garbage in, garbage out" but "estimated numbers in, estimated numbers out"
Sometimes simple is good.

Prestigious National Geographic Traveler magazine has placed Tutukaka Coast, Northland in the top three coastal destinations in the world. High praise indeed!
Land-based and water-based ecotourism opportunities abound on New Zealand's subtropical northern peninsula. The region currently boasts "excellent environmental and ecology quality," and its Maori residents still cling to some aspects of their native culture. In a few locations, unplanned development has begun to threaten the character of the place.


This weekend, I can proudly say that I have completed my first ever shop in a local Lidl store! The prospect of 'budget grocery shopping' is something I debated only a couple of weeks ago and, at a new age (personally) and with the summer months ahead, I decided that this was a good time to go.
This evening's post is dead simple and comes with a question. Largely aimed at people living in the UK but I'm also aware these 'budget' supermarkets originate from Europe.
So, have you shopped at Lidl or Aldi? What is your opinion of their products and service compared to the larger supermarkets?
You see, I try to stick to my budget and I'm aware that preparing your own meals can be expensive initially (investing in vegetables) but then I begin to think about the rest of my shopping, with all the brand-name items and sweet things I can't seem to do without.
I'm wondering how, say, a pack of chocolate bars from one of the other two supermarkets might compare with a similar item from the 'value' range of one of the others. Generally speaking, is there less to choose from when you're paying less?
I've stuck with a large, well-known supermarket (who I try not to name on this blog) simply because there's one almost across the road from where I've worked for nearly 3-years now. It's most convenient. There are other large supermarkets in the same town but I'm also aware that there's a Lidl a little further on and around the corner.
Someone recently suggested to me that their meat is much cheaper, after I bulked at the prospect of paying £4 for chicken and instead went with Quorn at £2.50.
Where do you get your groceries from?

La Fleche (frz. 'Pfeil', 1889–1916) war ein britisches Vollblut-Rennpferd sowie eine erfolgreiche Zuchtstute.

Nachdem sie 1890 als Jährling für einen Rekordpreis verkauft wurde, blieb sie 1891 als Zweijährige ungeschlagen. Sie war siegreich in Stutenrennen und schlug auch einige der führenden Hengste ihrer Altersklasse.

1892 wurde sie die dominierende Dreijährige und gewann die Fillies' Triple Crown, indem sie die 1000 Guineas in Newmarket, die Oaks in Epsom und das St Leger in Doncaster gewann. Ihre einzige Niederlage in diesem Jahr erlebte sie im Derby.

La Fleche stand zwei weitere Saisons im Training. Sie gewann so bedeutende Rennen wie 1893 den Liverpool Autumn Cup, 1894 den Ascot Gold Cup und bei ihrer letzten Vorstellung die Champion Stakes. Insgesamt gewann sie sechzehn Rennen, bei vierundzwanzig Starts. Später wurde sie eine erfolgreiche und bedeutende Zuchtstute.

Herkunft
Anglophone Schreiber hatten oftmals Mühe mit ihren Namen, woraus zahlreiche Schreibvarianten entstanden, beispielsweise Lafleche, La Flêche, La Fléche und La Flèche (die vermeintlich richtige Version).

La Fleche war knapp über 160 cm groß.  Sie wurde in den Royal Studs in Hampton Court gezogen und am 10. März 1889 geboren. Sie war ein auffallend schönes Fohlen und erhielt bei der Auktion vom 28. Juni 1890 in Bushey Paddocks viel Aufmerksamkeit. Lord Marcus Beresford ersteigerte La Fleche für Baron Maurice de Hirsch für die Summe von 5,500 Guineas. Damit hat er sowohl den Duke of Portland als auch John Porter überboten als auch den Rekord für einen Jährling an einer Auktion, der seit 1876 bestand, gebrochen.

Ihr Vater St. Simon war ungeschlagen und dabei sich als Stempelhengst zu etablieren. 1890 wurde er zum ersten Mal Champion der Vaterpferde, nachdem er seine ersten beiden Sieger in klassischen Rennen gezeugt hatte. Ihre Mutter Quiver brachte Memoir, eine Vollschwester zu La Fleche. Memoir gewann die Epsom Oaks und das St. Leger und brachte die beiden wichtigen Zuchtstuten Maid Marian und Satchel.

Rennlaufbahn
La Fleche wurde für ihre ersten beiden Saisons von John Porter in Kingsclere trainiert.
Am Ende ihrer Dreijährigen-Saison wurde sie nach Egerton House zu Richard Marsh in Newmarket gebracht.

COMMENTARY: Engaging Georgia's Latino voters
Commentary Politics & Policy
By Samuel Aguilar
The "sleeping giant" that is our country's Latino vote is ready to start the morning shift in Georgia.
With over 300,000 registered Latino voters, our community stands out with 88% participation in the last two elections and a large part of that engagement comes from voters under the age of 30.
The 1.1 million Latinos in Georgia make up 10% of the population and 4% of the electorate. This group easily covers the tight margins by which President Biden and Democratic senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have won the Peach State. While voters and civic engagement groups have already realized this, it remains to be seen if campaigns and advocacy efforts will truly engage with this voting bloc revolutionizing battleground politics.
As engaged as the Latino electorate is, there are no signs that point to it being a solid voting bloc for either party. While Georgia's Latino voters were overwhelmingly anti-Trump in 2016 and 2020, polls show that no statewide candidate has garnered over 50% of the Latino vote since, leaving the door wide open to attract this independent voting bloc.
A recent UnidosUS poll found that 59% of Georgia's Latino voters believe the country is "going down the wrong track" while simultaneously reporting little to no outreach from either political party. This means there is room for bold political leadership and legislative proposals that engage our communities.
When it comes to key issues, many would be surprised by data that shows immigration falling behind inflation, crime, jobs, abortion and health care. This polling adds credibility to the notion that we are as Georgian as we are Latino and the issues important to us align with the broader electorate. We are a values driven electorate with our families and local communities being top of mind for political decision-making.
As Georgia's Latino vote continues to grow in influence, candidates and campaigns have a great opportunity to engage directly with this electorate with its own unique set of values and cultural nuance.
Political outreach can no longer be copy and pasted from other regions, nor can we be included in general minority outreach. The Latino voter is not a monolith, our ideologies are as diverse as our cultures and the countries we represent.
There is tremendous opportunity to learn from and engage Georgia's Latino electorate, we deserve well-researched outreach and messaging that speaks to "la cultura."
Samuel Aguilar is the chief executive and founder of A|R Strategies, a bilingual and bicultural public relations firm with expertise in engaging Georgia's dynamic Latino and Immigrant communities. Aguilar has been recognized as one of Georgia's "50 Most Influential Latinos" by the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He has led campaigns for the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO) and the political advocacy group FWD.us, where he built bipartisan coalitions of elected officials — supported by business, advocacy and media leaders — to shift the culture on policies that impact Latino and immigrant communities. He wrote this for State Affairs Georgia.

Looking in from the outside, Australian mama Steph Adams seems to lead a pretty glamorous life – as the editor of luxury digital lifestyle magazine LAQUA, she jets all over the world interviewing celebrities and fashion heavyweights (in a former life she's also worked for the likes of Net-a-Porter, British Vogue, ELLE and Harper's Bazaar). In addition, with her fellow writer Samantha Brett, she's co-authored four books so far (with the fifth currently in the works). Their newest, The Juggle, will hit the shelves in April, and profiles high-profile mothers with kickass careers in business, politics, fashion and more who are also juggling families, relationships, and motherhood. Sounds right up our alley!
Steph's own juggle involves raising her two sons, Bailey (3) and Josh (1). Whether working from her home on Sentosa, fitting in a gym session with kiddos in tow, or jetting off to a client meeting, she takes us through a day in her always interesting life!
My day starts out being jumped on at 5.30am or otherwise woken up by one of these two. I then make coffee and will be interviewing various celebrities all over the world either via email or phone for our different books. We have just finished The Juggle and are currently working on book #5.
It's really important to have that quality time with your family if you can fit it in. Along the way, we take our 3-year-old to preschool.
I'll start work at different times throughout the day since I'm on call with offices all around the world. I could be taking phone calls at 4am, or be working through the night and on weekends. It is great because I'm able to work around the kids. Sometimes it doesn't always go to plan, though!
I work around the clock and am often on overseas calls throughout the night. My work varies — sometimes I'm travelling, sometimes I'm at home working or running from meetings to events. If the baby wakes, I try to steal a cuddle before I return to work (this is possibly one of the things I enjoy most about working from home).
I'll usually meet up with clients in the city at various cafes. I don't find it hard to get around from Sentosa.
Being healthy and working out is really important. If I have to sneak in an afternoon weight session at the gym with the kids in tow, I will. Sometimes I work out at Core Collective in the city and I take Bootcamps with Bodies By Lawrence.
I'm currently at work on new ideas for our next book with my co-author Samantha Brett. Our next book is going to be very exciting!
To wind down I'll watch Netflix, play with the kids, read a book on health, or check out new recipes. Soon enough I'll be back on another call!

I encourage young drivers, learners and p-plate drivers, to obtain a copy of the Option Paper "Improving Safety for Young Drivers" released recently. Copies can be obtained from the website youngdrivers.com.au or by contacting my office. Comments can be made on the form attached to the Options Paper and forwarded to Improving Safety for Young Drivers or by delivering to my office.
Electorate Functions
Volunteer Appreciation - congratulations to local volunteers whom I presented certificates to at Ozanam Villa and St John's College, Woodlawn. These ceremonies recognised the valuable work these people undertake in the everyday life of these two institutions.
School Spectacular - it was pleasing to personally attend and see so many North Coast schools represented by students/performers in Sydney. I was very proud and if this is any indication of the standard for the Northern Stars Under The Big Top - bring on the show!
International Disability Day - last week I was the given opportunity to experience, albeit for a short period of time, the challenges faced by people with a wide range of disabilities whilst moving around the Lismore CBD. Whilst a lot of work has been done by Access Committees in communities, I soon came to appreciate that there is a lot more work and support to be provided by government and Councils in making shopping areas within our communities a lot more accessible to people with disabilities.
Centre for Coastal Agricultural Landscapes - the official opening of this new joint venture between the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Southern Cross University will bring together the complementary resources of both institutions to develop solutions to the issues affecting agriculture and communities in coastal catchments.
80th Birthday of Lismore CWA - I enjoyed the opportunity to join with members and be present for this special celebration of the Association's milestone.
Art of the Bundjalung Nation - I was pleased to attend the launch of Lismore's first major exhibition of local aboriginal art. The exhibition, conducted by Rotary Club of Summerland Sunrise, aimed to raise funds to improve the quality of aboriginal health care in the Northern Rivers.

Labor Must Consult On Native Vegetation Buffer Zones
The NSW Labor Government must properly consult the public over infrastructure buffer distances proposed in the draft Native Vegetation Regulation 2004. The buffer distances, under Part 4, 16 (1) b of the Regulation, were to be formulated by Catchment Management Authorities by February next year. The 20-page draft Native Vegetation Regulations do not set any distances or guidelines for infrastructure buffer distances for holdings that are not small holdings and which are not situated in the Western Division. Currently these distances are set by either a minimum State or Federal Government guideline, or by Local Government regulations through planning instruments such as Local Environment Plans. These could vary from town to town, catchment to catchment or from the tablelands to the coast. The draft regulation proposes that Catchment Management Authorities set the buffer distances but there is no indication as to whether a Local Environment Plan would take precedence over a Catchment Management Authority regulation or vice versa. It should be noted that Catchment Management Authority members are appointed by the Natural Resources Minister and are not obliged to circulate for public discussion any guidelines they may set in this regard. It is imperative that the Minister give an assurance that these guidelines, when completed, will be subject to an ongoing consultation process which will allow input from owners of holdings which are not small holdings. The public consultations on the draft regulations so far have not been sufficient as only two meetings were held on the North Coast and many farmers were unable to attend other meetings due to commitments to their harvest.
ATLAS/POS Funding
After sustained pressure from the Liberal/Nationals Coalition and the community, last week the Carr Government backed down on its hugely unpopular funding cuts to Post School Options (POS) and Adult Training Learning & Support (ATLAS) programs. The Government have obviously realised how ridiculous its proposals were. However I am still disappointed because the new proposal only offers a generic amount of $13,500 for all participants, old or new. Pressure on the Government must be maintained because this announcement does not go far enough to meeting the needs of individuals or service providers.
Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters
The Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters has resolved to inquire into and report upon the administration of the 2003 NSW Election and related matters. Submissions close on 31 January 2005 and can be addressed to: Attention: Stephanie Hesford, Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, Parliament House, Macquarie Street, Sydney 2000. Copies of the terms of reference are available from my office.
Draft Natural Resource Targets Require Careful Attention
NSW Leader of The Nationals, Andrew Stoner has urged farmers and their communities to carefully study draft standards and targets for natural resource management across the State, following their release recently. The draft standards and targets have been developed by the newly-formed Natural Resources Commission (NRC) after the NSW Labor Government rammed major natural resource reforms through Parliament in December last year. These standards and targets will guide the activities and investments of the 13 Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) and State Government agencies. Landholders must ensure they have input through their stakeholder groups, or individually, because these changes will ultimately have a big impact on how they run their properties. I am concerned at the bewildering array of proposed natural resource changes confronting farmers at an extremely busy time of the year on many farms and in the lead-up to the holiday season. On top of the draft standards and targets we also have the draft Native Vegetation Regulation 2004, which details how the Native Vegetation Act 2003 will work on the ground. These regulations were developed behind closed doors and now Labor is giving farmers and their communities just weeks to comment on the regulations before they come into effect. Individuals wanting to comment directly on the draft standards and targets should visit the NRC website at www.nrc.nsw.gov.au or phone 02 8227 4300. The last date for written submissions in response to the consultation paper is February 26, 2005. I encourage individuals and their communities to seek the views of their CMA on what the changes will mean for local areas.

Golf: Bezuidenhout takes second European tour title in four-shot triumph
FILE PHOTO: The Masters
MALELANE, South Africa (Reuters) - Christiaan Bezuidenhout held his nerve to win the Alfred Dunhill Championship by four shots at Leopard Creek Country Club on Sunday as the rest of the contenders faltered in a dramatic finish.
The 26-year-old South African took his second European Tour victory after birdies on the 14th and 15th holes helped him surge through a crowded leaderboard and end with a fourth-round 69 for a tournament total of 274.
Bezuidenhout, ranked 61 in the world, proved steady on the back nine as super-fast greens and tight pin positions proved the undoing of the other frontrunners.
Four golfers tied for second place, including American Sean Crocker, who was one shot behind the lead with a hole to play but hit his ball out of bounds twice on the 18th for a horror-show eight that put paid to his hopes.
Poland's Adrian Meronk, who had led from the start of the tournament, South African teenager Jayden Schaper and Englishman Richard Bland also all finished on 10-under-par 278.
Meronk fell off the top of the leaderboard with only seven holes left to play after dropping three shots on successive holes, while the 19-year-old Schaper had a wild ride on the back nine with three birdies and six dropped shots.
Bland, 47, was within two shots of the lead at the start of the last nine holes in his bid to end 15 years and some 400 appearances on the Tour without success.
But a bogey on the 15th effectively ended his hopes, and he went into the clubhouse in fifth place only to be pulled up the leaderboard as the golfers behind him - save for Bezuidenhout - crumbled in the final straight.

DEAR ABBY: I read your Jan. 8 column about the warning signs of an abuser. Would you use your influence to say that men are also victims of abuse?
My son was in a three-year relationship with a woman who scored 15 out of 15 on your list. We knew it was a toxic relationship, but he couldn't see that. The night he came to us for help, battered and bloody, I finally took a stand. It took six months to get her out of his life. My son was ashamed to be a battered man, and she had told him that men who call 911 go to jail. It kept him from calling.
DEAR SET FREE: I think you've stated it well. All I can add is that men who suffer physical abuse at the hands of a partner should go to an emergency room for treatment so their injuries can be documented, then file a formal complaint and end the relationship.

Q: Is there a way to convert MPLAB X program to Intel HEX? I want to convert the C program i wrote to Intel HEX and then use a program like PonyProg, icprog or WinPic8000 to program the microcontroller. MPLAB X doesn't support my programmer. I need to program just one microcontroller once or few times and currently i don't plan to buy a programmer that MPLAB supports. It's cheap but if there is a way to do what i'm asking then i wouldn't need it. I guess it's not possible but i want to be sure. There's nothing on Google about this subject.

: Arena Theatre
: Shelley Theatre, Bournemouth
: Lloyd Perry
: 15 September 2018
This was an evening of firsts for me, a first visit to the Shelley Theatre and the first time I had seen Arena Theatre. However it was not the first time I had seen the beautifully lyrical play The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh, which for me is one of my favourites.
It is a dark comedy and this production of the play is very truthful to that. The story is of an aging mother (Mag), very fearful of the future without her daughter (Maureen) by her side to make endless cups of tea, porridge and complan. Set in a backdrop of rural Ireland and against a developing relationship between Maureen and local man Pato Dooley, this play is emotional and examines the pressures and guilt of the mother/daughter relationship.
For the play to work it has to be intense and the audience have to be right in the action. I sat some 12 rows back from the traditional stage layout which meant I could not always pick up the words as the accents were quite thick.
There was an absolute stand out performance from Joanna Dunbar as Maureen Folan, the put-up Daughter who is desperate to have a loving relationship. She absolutely commanded the part and the stage. Virgina Harrington, playing Mag Folan, was delightful with a cross between Mrs Overall and Peggy Mitchell. It was clear that she was on top of the words, however some of the throw away lines were lost. There were solid performances from Adam Stoddard as Pato Dooley and Daniel Withey as Ray Dooley who both moved the story along nicely.
The stage was suitably confused and muddled which suited the play. The lighting was patchy across the stage, although this may well be due to the facilities availble at the threatre, and the linking music and effects not loud enough to really knit this production together as much as it needed.
Director Francesca Folan had a strong cast. However, there were small annoying details that were left unaddressed, like props that seemed to be incorrect for the time of setting and having a rain sound effect followed by a character coming in from outside bone dry.
All in all, a fantastic play, a strong cast but some more attention to the smaller details and a better staging would have elevated this to the level it deserved.
The Beauty Queen of Leenane can be seen at The Lighthouse in Poole between 19th and 22nd September 2018.


There are many different reasons why we may want to get away from the noise of our daily lives and there are countless ways to help you do so. This blog is my way of doing that. I live in Granada in the south of Spain, write songs, teach English and now write this blog.
My name is Jason and although I only started this blog on 3 October 2014, it has already become an essential daily ritual to post and connect with readers and other bloggers. I have enjoyed writing it, getting positive feedback from people and generally interacting with lots of interesting people online. I've also enrolled on an online blogging course as you can always learn something new, can't you?
So with this in mind, I'm committing to writing a new post every day for the next 30 days in line with the WordPress Blogging 101 series.
After living in London for 17 years, Mrs AwayFromTheNoise and I moved to Granada in the south of Spain in January 2014. It's been a goal of ours to live somewhere warm, beautiful and interesting for a long time, so it's been lovely having made that happen. In addition to writing this blog, I travel a lot around the south of Spain, teach English locally and write songs on my slightly battered acoustic guitar and laptop. But perhaps the question here is 'why should you read this blog'?
I hope this blog helps you to get you away from the noise.
Hey J, 'twas lovely to read the introduction to your new blog. I have to say, Granada and being away from the Noise sounds truly lovely.
Rhiannon and I discussed and contemplated having a year away in April thus year. We looked at basing ourselves in Malaysia I would work remotely from there and age would find done work in Nursing. The plan was to spend our weekends and school holidays discovering the Far East. Unfortunately we hit a few roadblocks that we weren't able to overcome quickly enough. Nursing work was not readily available and school fees were too expensive. India, my eldest is due to take her options at the end of this academic year so we have definitely missed the boat on this adventure (for now anyway!). On the upside we decided to head other way during the summer and spent 23 days in Brazil. We had an amazing time and one the kids will definitely remember forever.
I'm so glad you've followed your dream and wish you both all the very best in the beautiful Granada.
How far away are the ski slopes?
My youngest has just asked for a hot chocolate before bed so I better get moving!
Granada is indeed a lovely place, especially after the busy-ness of London. If you're more interested in 'living in Spain', I have another blog at http://www.cortadoingles.wordpress.com Thanks for the comment.


The upcoming 2019 Nissan Titan pickup truck is entering its second generation as an all-new model for 2019. In order to keep the pace up with the competitors like Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra, Nissan is planning some new stuff along the way. New Nissan Titan 2019 offers many new configurations and different trims and engines.
Furthermore, Titan offers great features for securing a cargo. This fresh pickup truck is following the steps of his heavy-duty big brother, Titan XD. Both trucks have similar styling and design. The 2019 Titan lack some drivetrain variety, but with new engine beign updated, we could expect some seriour progress.
Like we said above, the Titan shares much of its looks with the Titan XD. Of course, there are few key differences in the shortened length. This shorter length is visible behind the headlights and in the bed. Titan's front tow hook is now placed into the bumper opening, not under the bumper like on some previous models.
But if the new Titan looks bigger and bolder to you, don't be tricked, because it is bigger than the last year. Everything from the front grille to the headlights and mirrors is sized up.
The half-ton Titan is 229 inches long, but that is still a foot shorter than Titan XD that is built on a more robust chassis. The standard crew-cab features a bed that is 5.4-foot long. As the trims go higher, bed size could be up to 8-foot long.
Lower trims can fit up to six passengers mostly thanks to the split front bench. However, the most popular choice among the customers is a pair of front bucket seat that lowers the capacity to five passengers. Fine, soft-touch materials are all over the cabin which is a great thing for a work truck.
Rear seats can be flipped up, in order to create wide space in the rear of the cabin. Nissan is coming with a 360-degree camera system and Zero Gravity front seats. The infotainment system is typical Nissan, and all the functions are easy to find. Features like traction control, heated steering wheel, and parking sensor are all coming as standard.
The ports like USB and AUX are included as well. Higher trims offer you a leather interior and climate-controlled front seats. Furthermore, different safety features are optional and updated 7-inch infotainment system is also available.
The engine that will power a whole new 2019 Nissan Titan is a 5.6-liter gasoline V8. This engine is connected to a 7-speed automatic transmission and it comes with two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD). This unit is producing up to 400 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. The towing capacity is around 9,350 pounds. Fuel economy is 15 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway. Another engine is set to join later, it is a diesel 5.0-liter Cummins V6.
We should expect this pickup truck in the first half of 2019. The start price for the upcoming 2019 Nissan Titan is around $37,000. This price stands for a base model, while for higher trims you could finish paying up to $60,000.
We must mention that for every trim you choose, 4WD adds another $3000 to an existing price. Likely competitor is Toyota Tundra, Ford F-150, and Chevrolet Silverado.

Coronavirus hits isolated Indian island tribe
28 August 2020 08:54 am - 0 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
PORT BLAIR AFP Aug27, 2020- Ten members of India's dwindling Great Andamanese tribe have tested positive for coronavirus, officials said Thursday, fuelling concerns about the safety of the group and other indigenous people in the remote archipelago.
Six of the 10 have recovered and are in home quarantine, officials told AFP, while the rest are undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
Just over 50 Great Andamanese people survive today and live on the tiny Strait Island where the Indian government looks after their food and shelter.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a chain in the Indian Ocean with a population of some 400,000, has reported 2,268 coronavirus cases so far with 37 deaths.
Indian authorities sent a team of health officials to Strait Island on Sunday after six members of the tribe tested positive in the archipelago's capital Port Blair recently. Some of the tribe's members travel to Port Blair where they have government jobs.
"The team tested 37 samples and four members of the Great Andamanese tribe were found to be positive. They are admitted in hospital," Avijit Ray, a senior health officer in charge of disease management in the Andamans, told AFP. According to the Brazilian Indigenous Peoples' Association, 26,000 indigenous people have been infected and 690 have died during the country's pandemic.
India is the third worst-hit country in the world behind the US and Brazil, with more than three million coronavirus cases.
There, some 60,000 people have died from the infection so far.

UPDATE: The British Pound (GBP) traded marginally higher against both the Euro (EUR) and US Dollar (USD) into Tuesday's session as markets digested the latest Brexit developments ahead of the all-important EU summit which could determine the fate of Brexit. The Pound-to-Euro (GBPEUR) exchange rate was last seen trading at €1.1690, up a meagre 0.05% from the session open.
The £ to $ exchange rate was last seen trading up 0.13% at $1.327.
Monday's session saw Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, drop a bombshell into the midst of the already chaotic Brexit proceedings, stating he would block the government from resubmitting the EU withdrawal agreement for a third meaningful vote given HoC precedent of blocking repeated votes on the same motion.
Commenting on the implications for the road ahead, ING's global head of EMEA research, Chris Turner wrote "The parliamentary speaker's intervention in the Brexit process probably means that Prime Minister Theresa May will head to the EU council meeting in Brussels (Thurs/Frid) looking for a 'substantial' change in the political declaration - such that she can then resubmit her Withdrawal Deal for a third vote." Turner added "We may not get to see the series of indicative votes (long delay, softer Brexit, referendum) until next week now. We suspect that sterling stays supported, given that neither side wants a no deal and we look to be on the tortuous path to a long delay. Cable supported at 1.32." On the domestic data front, the Sterling was supported by the latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) labour market data releases which suggested that wage growth maintained its fastest pace in over a decade while unemployment fell to it's lowest level since 1975 (3.9%) while inactivity reached a record low.
UPDATE: Pound Sterling volatility picked up over Monday's trading session as UK lawmakers convened to continue their verbal sparring over Brexit in a heated House of Commons session.
Against the Euro, the Sterling dipped to a session low of €1.1634 before rebounding, with the Pound-to-Euro exchange rate last seen trading at €1.1673, down 0.55% from the session open.
The Pound-to-Dollar exchange rates also trended downwards with the cross posting a session low of $1.31845 before retracing to the current level of $1.32204.
While speculation over the weekend and into Monday had all been about whether or not the Prime Minister would table her EU withdrawal agreement for a third meaningful vote (MV3) and the outcome thereof, Monday's session saw Speaker of the House John Bercow potentially lay waste to the government's plans.
Addressing a heated House of Commons session, Bercow said he may block MV3 in lieu of any substantive changes to the document. Bercow said "If the government wishes to bring forward a new proposition that is neither the same nor substantially the same as that disposed of by the House on March 12, this would be entirely in order," before adding "What the government cannot legitimately do is resubmit to the House the same proposition - or substantially the same proposition - as that of last week, which was rejected by 149 votes."
Bercow did, however, go on to say that this was not to be considered his final ruling on the matter and that - given the House of Commons is custodian of its own standing orders - MPs could theoretically vote to change the HoC rule which prevents repeated votes on the same motion.
The market reaction saw the Sterling post its session lows thus far, however the near-term direction is less clear.
Summarising the disparate views on the matter, institutional analysts were mixed on potential impact of the development.
to the deal otherwise it means a prolonged Brexit delay," adding "The chances of the UK crashing out of the EU have increased once again because the EU needs a clear plan and a strategy before they grant an extension."
simply increase the chances of a substantial delay to Brexit and if that happens the risks of a second referendum or general election go up substantially."
Monday's session saw the British Pound (GBP) subdued against a basket of peer currencies as investors stayed on the side-lines at the start of what could prove to be a pivotal week for the Brexit process. Following last week's stellar rally for the GBP, market pricing remained suggestive of optimism with regards to an anticipated benign Brexit outcome.
At the time of writing, the Pound-to-Euro (GBP/EUR) exchange rate was last seen trading at €1.1673, down a shade over half-a-percent from the weekly open.
The £ to $ exchange rate was last seen trading at $1.32320 with price action overall muted ahead of further Brexit clarity and the latest FOMC policy meeting and associated Fed releases in the US.
Last week saw a trio of votes take place in the House of Common sin which MP's rejected the Prime Minister's EU withdrawal agreement, voted against the prospect of a no-deal Brexit and backed a push to formally request a Brexit extension beyond March 29th. Despite the seeming progress, which saw the Sterling appreciate substantially against a basket of peers before trimming gains towards the weekend, the UK is now just 11 days away from a no-deal by default outcome, notwithstanding an delay. Commenting on the GBP, head of FX strategy at ING, Chris Turner, wrote "With sterling one-week implied volatility suggesting the currency is coiled like a spring, there is a path for a substantial upside break-out - were a benign path of Brexit events to unfold." According to options markets, Sterling volatility is currently the highest of the G10 currencies as well as being higher than many EMs.
Looking at the week ahead, it's unclear as to whether Prime Minister May will opt for a last-ditch attempt to get her deal through the Commons ahead of the European Unions Council summit later in the week, at which EU leaders will give their verdict on a Brexit extension. News-flow over the weekend had suggested a number of rebel Conservative Party MPs had been swayed by the threat of a long delay and the potential, by way of a second EU referendum, for the UK to abandon Brexit altogether. Outspoken chair of the European Research Group (ERG) and 'no-deal' advocate, Jacob Rees-Mogg, said that a bad deal would be better than a long delay. Speaking on LBC radio, Rees-Mogg said "No deal is better than a bad deal but a bad deal is better than remaining in the European Union in the hierarchy of deals," adding "A two-year extension is basically remaining in the European Union." Reports on Monday suggested whether or not the Prime Minister holds a third meaningful vote on the EU withdrawal bill comes down to whether the perceived level of support would be adequate to push the deal through Parliament. Speaking to the BBC, Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said that "There are some cautious signs of encouragement... but there is a lot more work to do." Given the Prime Minister's reluctance to table the deal for a third time in lieu of evidence to suggest it will pass, should this week see a third meaningful vote, analysts expect the market reaction to be positive for the Sterling. Commerzbank currency strategist, Ulrich Leuchtmann, wrote "Should May hold another vote tomorrow that would constitute a signal that she considers it possible that her deal will be accepted," adding "It should no doubt have a moderately positive effect on the British currency." Events over the coming days look set to determine the Brexit route for the foreseeable. Ahead of the EU summit, whether or not the PM holds a third meaningful vote and subsequently whether or not the deal passes is expected to determine the length of extension sought with a longer delay (2 years) anticipated if no-deal appears to be in the offing.
Lloyds Commercial Banking senior economist, Hann-Ju Ho, laid out the bank's expectations for the Sterling in the week ahead. He wrote "The pound could endure another volatile week as the government tries to garner sufficient support for the EU Withdrawal Agreement deal in a third meaningful vote." Adding, "Sterling firmed last week, as markets assessed a reduced likelihood of a 'no deal' Brexit scenario. However, uncertainty would be expected to remain should the deal be rejected again." It's worth noting that despite persistent Brexit uncertainty, the British Pound has outperformed all major peers in the year thus far, relative to the US Dollar. Nevertheless, despite desperate efforts to avoid a no-deal outcome and given current (optimistic) pricing, asymmetric downside risks remain. The next few days will be crucial in determining the near-term direction for the Sterling with the market reaction to whatever outcome manifests likely to be rapid and substantial.

Our Memphis Uponor PEX piping systems are more cost-effective because they require fewer parts to build and are easier to install. They are also very flexible and resistant to extreme cold and hot temperatures as well as creep deformation (i.e., prolonged use, acid wear). Furthermore, they are quite effective in increasing water volume and pressure.
However, our copper piping systems also have their own set of benefits. Copper piping has been around for decades and is an established, flexible, and durable piping material. It also has the added advantage of providing a bacteria resistant (biostatic) atmosphere. Moreover, unlike PEX piping, copper piping can be used outdoors due to their resistance against ultraviolet rays. Copper can also be recycled unlike PEX piping. However, copper piping is more likely to freeze and break when exposed to cold water -unlike PEX piping-and is also susceptible to corrosion, not to mention it is more expensive that PEX piping systems.
Regardless of your choice we will begin with a thorough consultation with our Memphis repiping clients and will protect any amenities or floorings beforehand with plastic sheathing. Next, we will shut down your water system, make the appropriate wall openings, and remove and discard your old pipes and any debris into our trucks. Once we install our new Memphis piping system we will provide timely and meticulous wall restorations and will perform a full cleanup of your premises. Only after discussing every step we took with you-and proving a detailed handwritten report-will we leave. Your satisfaction is our number one priority and we will work around the clock to ensure you are completely satisfied with our Memphis repiping work before we leave, guaranteed.


The Total Film icon interview has seen some cult heroes interviewed but few match the legendary status of Dario Argento so it was with great excitement I sat to watch what he had to say on Day 2 of FrightFest the 13th.
After being treated to a sensational sizzle reel which included trailers clips and even adverts for Argento's soundtracks and one hilarious one he made for sugar the man himself took the stage to riotous applause.
Opening at the end Argento spoke, in his very good broken English, about his latest film Dracula 3D which FrightFest had hoped to screen this year but was not completed.
Inspired by an old school 3D festival where he had seen Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder in all its red and green glory he fancied trying it for himself taking on Stokers story using the very latest technology.
Although staying faithful in part to the original book he was interested in the many transformations of the vampire so expect to see all sorts of special effects when the film does comes out sometime soon.
Staring his daughter Asia as Lucy and the amazing Rutger Hauer as Abraham Van Helsing he told a crazy story about how after a day missing from set Argento had called the police to look for Hauer who they found in a bush with a Russian girl. It seems Hauer is as crazy in real life as he is on screen.
Taking things further back he spoke with love about Suspiria the film that firmly put his name on the map after his giallo genre pictures. When the upcoming Hollywood remake was mentioned he revealed he had no involvement at all something he seemed happy about saying modestly how he thought the original was pretty good and lets see if they can make something better much to the approval of the crowd.
Hollywood was all about money and their lack of original ideas and obsession with remakes was something he obviously found frustrating and alien.
Interestingly it was this unoriginality that he spoke of again when talking about the other Italian horrors during the golden age of the 70s none of which he was a fan off as he believed them all to have copied from him much too much rather than seeking their own originality.
He revealed that he had been inspired himself by old Hollywood and Hitchcock rather then other Italian directors although he said his work with Sergio Leone had a great impact as Leone taught him that the camera was all important in cinema rather than the actors or the script and his was something he deeply connected with and something obvious to all who watch his wonderfully visual movies.
He went on to discuss his latest project as Italian TV had asked him to pick his Top 100 horror movies all of which they will be screening with an Argento introduction.
A loverer of horror he had found it hard to choose especially with some limitations such as only being allowed 2 silent movies. When asked what, if any films he had picked from the last century he mentioned Spanish and French cinema as his favourite for new horror along with the Far East such as South Korea and Japan where he thought a lot of great supernatural movies whew emerging.
Laughing when he was asked how many of his own movies he put on his list he said he had chosen 6 – Susperia, Opera, Tenebrea, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Deep Red and Phenomena.
Questions then came from the crowd where it was clear to see there where a good deal of Argento obsessive's including one French woman who asked so many questions she nearly took up everyone else's time in one go.
Argento happily spoke about the possibility of doing another giallo, his use of music, his love of Greece and the sadness he had for their current situation and the influence of art on his films.
Ending all too soon it was obvious the living horror legend had more to say but sadly there just wasn't time. An amazing man with a brilliant body of work Argento was a wonderful addition to the already great line up of this years FrightFest and after hearing all he had up say I for one cant wait to see Dracula 3D.

'A proud moment'
In a statement sent to PBN, Josh Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of Eat Just, said bringing JUST Egg to thousands of additional cities and towns across America was 'a proud moment for our team'.
He added that knowing the product is now available at the grocery store just a few miles from where hee grew up in Birmingham, Alabama is 'particularly exciting'.
JUST's products are quickly 'becoming part of the breakfast ritual' for families across the country, said Tetrick, and the company looks forward to many more people eating them.

'Penny Dreadful' Season 2 premieres Sunday on Showtime

By JAY BOBBIN. Zap2it Updated April 30, 2015 5:23 PM
Particularly for viewers who love the macabre, another "Dreadful" time is on the immediate horizon: The Showtime series "Penny Dreadful" starts its second season Sunday at 10 p.m.
Putting new spins on classic characters such as Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) and Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), the show continues to involve a number of James Bond-franchise veterans: writer-creator John Logan and fellow executive producer Sam Mendes, who teamed on "Skyfall"; and stars Timothy Dalton ("The Living Daylights," "Licence to Kill"), Eva Green ("Casino Royale") and Rory Kinnear and Helen McCrory ("Skyfall").
"I was planning this season 10 years ago," Logan says, "and thinking about these characters and this world. I became fascinated with a particular part of Vanessa Ives' past, which is where she learned to read the tarot . . . because it's not something that a girl, even one as unique as Vanessa Ives [Green], knows how to do. And thinking about that led me into the world of the occult and the supernatural, and this season, we embrace witchcraft."
Logan notes that he added McCrory's spiritualist role of Evelyn Poole to shake things up for the other 19th-century characters. That surely applies to Dalton's Sir Malcolm Murray, whose relationship with her "alienates him sort of romantically, personally and supernaturally from the rest of the people in the series," says Logan.
"One of the special things in doing 'Penny Dreadful,' " Dalton maintains, "is that you have a writer with you. So many times, you're doing work when there's no chance of talking to a writer, and the best questions you could ever ask are, 'What was in your mind when you wrote this? How did you see it? What was the point for you? What do you want to get out of this scene?' And you can get it from the author's mouth, and that's a great guide. Then, our job is to give that added value."
The situation also applies to such other "Penny Dreadful" stars as Josh Hartnett and Billie Piper. A particular challenge is faced by such actors as Treadaway, who have to reinvent long-familiar characters, and he says Season 2 is "very exciting" for his Frankenstein.
"He's onto the crush from his creature, who's kind of taught him in a way about the need for love," Treadaway says, "and this whole big thing that he's done, which is creating life. It's kind of going to be a bit worthless if that life doesn't have an opportunity to love within it."

Indianapolis will soon have an oasis in the unlikeliest of places: a grassy hill between two interstates. The brainchild of local restaurant owner (and Jimmy Buffett's stage manager) Tom Battista, "The Idle," as the project has been dubbed, will be a simple, low-cost viewing stand where idlers can watch the traffic pass them by. Battista also hopes it strengthens the connections among four neighborhoods: Fletcher Place, Holy Rosary, Bates-Hendricks, and Fountain Square, which were severed when the interstates were built.
"After the '60s and '70s, not only did the interstates wreck our town and go right through the middle of it, the banks all redlined the [surrounding] districts," says Battista. The areas where roads dead-ended into the highway fared poorly. In recent years, the completion of Indianapolis' 8-mile Cultural Trail has linked some of these neighborhoods back together, but Battista, who owns a restaurant in Fletcher Place, felt the grassy median between them still represented a missed opportunity.
But just off to the south was a grassy hill sloping down to the highway, which is below street grade. Battista climbed a guardrail to look around. Nonprofit Keep Indianapolis Beautiful had planted trees on the 1-acre plot, and he was surprised to find the space oddly peaceful. The noise of the traffic wasn't too loud; the skyline was visible in the northwest. He admits it doesn't sound like a beautiful spot, but swears once he takes people to check it out, they see the appeal.
Battista says he wasn't inspired by the large window on the High Line that lets visitors watch cars speed by on 10th Avenue on New York City, but "it did reinforce the idea that people would sit and watch traffic," he says.
For The Idle, Battista envisioned something a little more secluded: a snaking path leading down from Virginia Avenue to a viewing stand, with repurposed stadium chairs and a fabric awning reclaimed by local group People for Urban Progress. A new entrance to the hill would be cut from the guardrail, right off the Cultural Trail.
He started to approach stakeholders: Indianapolis Cultural Trail, Inc., Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Indiana Department of Transportation, the city.
"Although everybody said it's a great idea, the people from INDOT said well, we've never done anything like that," says Battista. They needed approval from the Federal Highway Administration, which owns the land, and couldn't get it. After four and a half years of agitating for his vision, Battista got a meeting with FHA officials. They asked for more detailed plans and drawings — they were supplied by landscape architect Jeff Brown and civil engineer Jennifer Roberts — but also tried to put a damper on his hopes.
Then a new INDOT director added support for the project. The city agreed to be the responsible party. They came together with FHA to make a deal: The Idle could be on the space for 10 years, and FHA would retain the right to take it back if and when they want to expand the highway.
Now, the only barrier is funding. The Idle is currently trying to raise $41,000, which will be matched by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority if met. With 23 days left, the campaign is over halfway there.

Description: There are many areas of uncertainty surround immunotherapy, which require further exploration in the coming years. Speaking from the British Thoracic Oncology Group (BTOG) Annual Conference 2018, held in Dublin, Ireland, Fred Hirsch, MD, PhD, of University of Colorado, Denver, CO, discusses some of the most pertinent issues, including resistance mechanisms and the sequencing of therapies. Prof. Hirsch also highlights the need for the further study of immunotherapy in the locoregional and localized settings.


July | 2012 | TODAY IN BIGFOOT HISTORY!
Jon-Erik Beckjord was hiking in the Eldorado Nation Forest searching for the fabled Oak Gorge Hissing Worm when he stumbled upon some definitive Bigfoot evidence that would change the course of his life, forever!
Beckjord claimed that while inspecting what he thought was a very soft tree for the trail of the Hissing Worm, the object he thought was a tree morphed into a large wooly Bigfoot. The creature rose to its full height of 12 to 15 feet, smiled a face expanding grin that seemed to have far too many teeth. Its eyes sparkled like diamonds in algae water.
Beckjord could tell that the creature meant him no harm. In fact, he felt it actually was inviting him into its strangely beautiful world. As the Bigfoot creature started to disappear in front of his eyes, Beckjord realized that all the "trees" around him were, also, Bigfoot.
Beckjord came to an immediate understanding that he had witnessed a Bigfoot Tribal Meeting. And that this meeting was an annual event that included Bigfoot from across the country as well as from other dimensions. Beckjord would spend the next fifteen years investigating, gathering evidence, and communicating with the Tribal Elders of Inter-dimensional Bigfoot.
Zheng Gouxing had recently moved to the United States from his home near the Shennongjia forest in central China. Gouxing was walking his daughter's dog in the middle of the afternoon, when he noticed a group of huge monkey creatures creeping along the trees behind him.
Gouxing refused to answer any more specific questions about where along the road they appeared, when they stopped following him, or any sort of elaboration of this supposed treasure.
When pressed, Gouxing screamed, "YOU GO NOW!" and then called the police.

Q: VS Template not installing Nuget Packages I am building a Visual Studio 2015 Web API 2 template for my company.  It is a multiproject template.  I have it all setup and it is working fine except for the Nuget packages.  They will not install.
I followed the steps outlined here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/visual-studio-extensibility/visual-studio-templates.
Here is what I have setup:

*

*The .nupkg files in my vsix project.  If I unzip the vsix, I see them in the Packages folder.  (I copied these .nupkg files from the packages folder in my original solution I made.)

*I have listed every Nuget package as an asset in my source.extension.vsixmanifest file (found in the vsix project).
Here is an example:
<Asset Type="AutoMapper.5.2.0.nupkg" d:Source="File" Path="Packages\AutoMapper.5.2.0.nupkg" d:VsixSubPath="Packages" />

*

*In my sub-project .vstemplate files I have added the nuget wizard and listed the packages needed for that template.

Here is an example of one of my subprojects (the first wizard is my vsix project):
<WizardExtension>
    <Assembly>MyVsixProject, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=52156a0ac017d515</Assembly>
    <FullClassName>MyVsixProject.WizardImplementation</FullClassName>
</WizardExtension>
<WizardExtension>
    <Assembly>NuGet.VisualStudio.Interop, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>
    <FullClassName>NuGet.VisualStudio.TemplateWizard</FullClassName>
</WizardExtension>
<WizardData>
    <packages repository="extension" repositoryId="MyVsixProject.8b0b584a-d7ab-4608-e317-84e1aa773a01">
        <package id="AutoMapper" version="5.2.0" />
        <package id="EntityFramework" version="6.1.3" />
        <package id="Microsoft.Net.Compilers" version="1.3.2" />
        <package id="SimpleInjector" version="3.2.0" />
    </packages>
</WizardData>

Near as I can tell, I am following the instructions.
However, when I run the template, the solution level folder does not have a packages folder and all my nuget based references are broken.

A: Turns out that you have to have all the Nuget artifacts gone from your template.  (As if it has not ever been installed.)  Then the Nuget wizard will install correctly.
The link I mentioned above lists this as a "Best Practice" not a "It will not work if you don't do it", like it really is.
This is my script that I run in my build engine to remove the nuget stuff from my working project:
# DO NOT CALL THIS DIRECTLY!  IT SHOULD ONLY BE CALLED BY THE BUILD SYSTEM.
# IF YOU CALL THIS DIRECTLY then the projects will have all of their nuget references removed.
#
# For the template to be able to install the nuget stuff, it needs it to be in a state as if
# it has never been installed.  This script removes:
#     • The packages.config files
#     • Removes <None Include="packages.config" /> from any csproj files
#     • Compiler references that are added by nuget
#     • Removes any references from csproj files that have a hint path that contains '..\packages\

# Find all packages.config files and delete them
get-childitem ./ -include packages.config -recurse | foreach ($_) {remove-item $_.fullname -force}

# Find all .csproj files
$csProjFiles = get-childitem ./ -include *.csproj -recurse

# Remove the packages.config include from the csproj files.
$csProjFiles | foreach ($_) {$currentFile = $_; (get-content $_) | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'Include="packages.config"'} | Set-Content $currentFile -force}

# Remove any compiler references added by the compiler nuget packages.
$csProjFiles | foreach ($_) {$currentFile = $_; (get-content $_) | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'build\\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.props'} | Set-Content $currentFile -force}
$csProjFiles | foreach ($_) {$currentFile = $_; (get-content $_) | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'build\\Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.props'} | Set-Content $currentFile -force}

# Remove any references that have a hint path that contains '..\packages\'
foreach ($csProjFile in $csProjFiles){
    [xml] $csProjFileXml = get-content $csProjFile;
    foreach ($itemGroup in $csProjFileXml.Project.ItemGroup) {
        foreach ($reference in $itemGroup.Reference) {
            foreach ($hintPath in $reference.HintPath){
                if ($hintPath -like '*..\packages\*'){
                    $itemGroup.RemoveChild($reference)
                }
            }
        }
    }
    $csProjFileXml.Save($csProjFile)
}

A: The Assets section of in file source.extension.vsixmanifest should be:
<Asset d:Source="File" Type="AutoMapper.5.2.0.nupkg" Path="Packages\AutoMapper.5.2.0.nupkg" d:VsixSubPath="Packages" />

That instructions which you followed is seemingly out of date. You can refer to the similar issue for detail.
