'A great honour' Camilla breaks silence on new Queen Consort role when Charles is King
CAMILLA has said it will be a "great honour" to become Queen Consort when Prince Charles is King.
The Queen used her Platinum Jubilee to give her royal seal of approval for the Duchess of Cornwall to use the title, putting years of speculation to an end. Camilla said the position will help her to highlight the causes she supports during an interview with presenter Emma Barnett about her work with victims of domestic violence.
Speaking at Clarence House for Woman's Hour and BBC Breakfast, where she was reunited with Diana Parkes, whose daughter Joanna Simpson was killed by her husband in 2010, Camilla said: "Of course it's a great honour (becoming Queen Consort), it couldn't be anything else.
"But it does help it. I'm going to keep up with these causes.
"You know if I start something like this, I'm not going to give up mid-channel, I'm just going to keep going to try and help the likes of people like Diana … I hope I should be doing it for a lifetime."
The Duchess has previously cited Ms Parkes as the inspiration behind her work with domestic abuse victims.

During the interview, Camilla called for more action to tackle violence against women and discussed the impact lockdown had on domestic abuse.
She also said the Queen's Platinum Jubilee was an opportunity for the nation to celebrate.
The Duchess said: "It's always lovely to have something happy to look forward to isn't it?
"I mean, we've all been through hard times.

"We've all been locked away from our family and friends. And now we could all get together again and celebrate."
The in-person interview took place around three weeks ago before Camilla caught Covid.
It comes after the monarch used her milestone of 70 years on the throne last month to issue her royal seal of approval for Camilla to be Queen Consort in a major intervention shaping the future of the monarchy

In a written message to the nation, the head of state said: "I would like to express my thanks to you all for your support.
"I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me.
"And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service."
Charles, in a written message marking the Queen's Accession Day anniversary, said he and Camilla were "deeply conscious" of the honour.
Earlier this month, the Duchess said she is "very honoured and very touched" to have been backed by the Queen as a future Queen Consort.
The full interview is due to air on Thursday on Woman's Hour and BBC Breakfast.

It seems like a good idea, since we have now access (again) to the router, try to do our best to lock out the provider, and avoid further remote configurations / upgrades.
A note on the last point: when you restart the router, it will fail to connect to the ACS (remote configuration) server. This is a nice thing, but because of this the 'Fastweb' led will remain red, and the 'Ethernet' and 'WiFi' leds will remain off. This is just aesthetic: wireless and wired network works perfectly.
Usual disclaimer: these are not general purpose instructions – I cannot guarantee it will work for you. Use them at your own risk.
Is this the reason becouse your router is still accessible? Is it maybe becouse they were unable to access your router configuration due to the software modification you did to it to prevent any remote maintanance?
Yes – or, at least, is what I hope :) The router cannot reach the TR-069 server, so no new configuration file can be provisioned.
Well, and what if they need to improve your service or change something vital to your connection?
Honestly I can't imagine anything vital to the connection, on FTTH networks at least, that they could send via TR-069.
Neverthless, if I'll ever need to do a factory reset, or to upgrade the router, I'll sniff the communication again, so I'll have a chance to keep the access to the router.
I've followed this guide, but… every time it auto-update himself! How can I stop it?!?!
Hi Paolone, are you sure you created the dummy routes for the Fastweb management network? It shouldn't been able to log to the ACS.
When you start the router, the 'Fastweb' led becomes green, or it remains red?
Firmware downgraded, but i can't access to the web interface.
unfortunately the webserver is binded on the port 80 of the external ip address: thus, to access the interface, you should go to http:// from your local network (by default remote administration is NOT enabled).


Since I'm a big travel enthusiast I searched for various places to go before I came to Akita. As a person who loves Japanese rail and appreciates natural landscapes, I decided that I should definitely ride Akita Nairiku Jukan Railway right after I found out about it and saw amazing pictures and videos taken from its trains. My dream was to see autumn landscapes, so I chose to go there in early November. However, if you visit the official website, you can see that it promises you to get spectacular views at any time of the year.
Basically, Akita Nairiku Jukan Railway has only one line – Akita Nairiku Line, which literally means Akita Inland line, and has a nickname of Akita Bijin (Beauty) Line. The rail is paved through the mountainous area in the middle of Akita Prefecture between Kakunodate and Takanosu. Even though the train does several stops, most of those stations didn't seem to be localities, therefore, the line can be considered a touristic attraction rather than a means of transportation. From my personal observation, I can say that the line is popular among all age groups of both local people and tourists from overseas.
My ride started at Kakunodate station. It is important to note that Akita Nairiku Jukan Railway is not a part of JR (Japan Railway), so if you came to Kakunodate by one of the JR lines (as I did), then you should go out of the JR station and turn right, and then you'll see Akita Nairiku Jukan Railway station. Speaking of tickets, the price will depend on the destination (click here for the price list), which ranges from 170 yen (just for 1 stop) to 1670 yen (from the first to the last station). I would personally suggest you buy a round trip from Kakunodate to Aniai, which covers around a half of the line, but takes more than an hour for one-way and provides more then enough spectacular views. However, if you have more time and you are curious to see the rest, then of course go for the full way. By the way, since I came there on a bank holiday, I was lucky to buy a day-trip ticket which cost only 1000 yen and could be used for a round trip (excluding express trains). Such tickets can be also bought on the weekends.
Akita Nairiku Line impresses you as soon as you go to the ticket gate and see small, cute, and colorful trains–red, blue, green, they even paint sakura patterns on them.
The "interior" of the train is even better – you'll see adorable pictures of Akita dogs that are so beloved in this prefecture. Other features of the train include free wi-fi and various souvenirs offered for sale during the journey.
As I already mentioned before, the trains are quite small and seats are very limited, so I didn't get an opportunity to take a seat on my return way. However, I wasn't disappointed at all – I found it more interesting to move around to see the views and take pictures from all the sides.
During the whole journey, as the train swishes through Akita Prefecture, you can see endless forests, mountains, and rivers. In late autumn, the mountains are colored into all the shades of orange and red, and have such interesting patterns, which makes the scenery even more gorgeous. I was lucky to be there on a sunny day as the sunlight brought even more orange shades to that palette. However, I'm pretty sure that if you go there on a gloomy day, you'll get mysterious and no less impressive views.
The best and most anticipated part of the journey happened about 1 hour after the start when the train went through a huge bridge over a spectacular gorge. The driver even slowed down a bit so everyone could take their time to fully enjoy the scenery and take enough pictures. And even if you still worry that you didn't have enough time to take good pictures or to see all the details – don't worry, you'll have time to do it on the return way.
When we finally reached Aniai stop, I had around half an hour before the return trip.
Therefore, I decided to walk around for a bit to see if there is anything interesting there. Right after I came out of the station, I wandered into a tiny museum with a bunch of historical photos of the railway and a bearskin which many people were excited to take a picture with.
After that, I walked a bit further and turned left, and then had to walk up for a few minutes until I reach a field where I got really pretty views on the river, forests and the railway.
Although sitting in the train for more than an hour and just looking at the landscapes might sound pretty boring, I didn't get tired of those views at all. On the contrary, such a journey helped me to relieve stress and feel refreshed. It also made me think once again about how wonderful nature is. And even though it took some money and time to reach there and to ride Akita Nairiku Line, I didn't regret any of it. I should say that this was one of the most scenic rail journeys I ever had, and I would definitely recommend anyone to try this.
So if you are ever around Akita and get a chance to experience this journey, just sit comfortably and enjoy breathtaking scenery throughout the whole journey. And try to ride Akita Nairiku Line during different seasons – maybe you'll get an even more fascinating experience!
The best way to start your Akita Nairiku Line journey is from Kakunodate that can be easily reached by Akita Shinkansen or JR Tazawako Line. If you are traveling from Northern prefectures, let's say from Aomori, then you'd better start your journey from Takanosu station, which can be reached by JR Ou Line or JR Ou Line Limited Express.

Dementia - Mike's story of emotions and legal blindspots
Mike shares his story, as carer for his husband Tom who has dementia. From spotting those first signs, to a diagnosis of dementia, and the journey thereafter. Mike also highlights some key legal matters to get in place, at a time when your mind can be understandably distracted. These include Lasting Powers of Attorney, Wills and Trusts, NI contributions for pensions (through carers credit), Blue Badge, Legal Rights, and carer support.
There's no obvious beginning for someone who is developing dementia but there are many personal stories charting the moment where the disease shows itself and at that moment the conclusion is unavoidable. From this point on, initially, you'll find yourself in the midst of confusion and anxiety. We know that nothing gets solved on its own, or without time and reflective thought. Neither of which comes easily when confronted with a dementia diagnosis. My partner, Tom, was diagnosed firstly in 2016, followed by a revised diagnosis of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (SPD) in 2019. He had been retired on medical grounds in 2011, a full 5 years before the first diagnosis, and I had already retired early from work in 2014 because it was clear that Tom was struggling at home without me.
A snapshot of not an uncommon journey of uncertainty and coping
So far we have confusion and anxiety and uncertainty and coping. All the time the clock is ticking on the progress of the dementia whilst we manage the medical appointments, taking on all the household management, working out what to tell friends and relatives, worrying about how our future could change so much from how we planned. How you're taking on all the decision making, even though it's not clear why. Eventually the diagnosis is given.
"The shock is profound even though you've been expecting it. It will explain the 23 bottles of hand wash under the sink, the missing teaspoons (accompanying empty yogurt pots in the bin), the post-it notes everywhere, his inability to find where we parked the car."
The final straw for me was going out for a meal and after going to the loo, came back to find he had only ordered his own food and drink. After the diagnosis - referral to the local Alzheimers Society representative.
"A good first step but at this early stage you don't even know what you need to know, let alone know what questions to ask." Between the diagnosis and this, there is nothing but the internet to search and search for knowledge and help.
"The last thing on your mind is planning and managing finances or securing legal security."
Indeed, in the early stages there's a never-ending string of medical appointments to soak up the time. We had 36 medical appointments in first year following diagnosis.
And it's not just the days written off. It's coping with the outcome of difficult news as well as acting as the go-between among all the practitioners involved (the GP, the Neurologist, hospital consultants and staff, therapists, and later, district nurses and the hospice as well as trying to explain dementia to opticians and dentists too).
On top of this, you're likely increasingly taking on household management, Looking at future finances whether you decide to continue working or retire as I did. In addition, you may be thinking about the suitability of your current home for longer term care too. So not only do we have confusion, anxiety, uncertainty and coping, we have big decisions to make, maybe manage the entire domestic setting for the first time on our own, and all this whilst we take on more personal care for the person we love. Whilst this stream of tasks and requirements continue pretty well out of our control at this stage, we Heroically try to meet all of these demands even though we're frightened, tired, lacking support and trying hard to make things feel normal for the person we love.
The legal blindspot
This creates a bit of a blindspot because there's so much to do today and tomorrow but what about in a years time or two years time?
What about your Wills, have you made them? Do they need to be changed? Do you maybe need to set up a trust in your will so that if anything happens to you, other people will be able to step in and administer the support for your loved one?
Just as importantly, it's important to consider lasting power-of-attorney at this stage. Simple reason being, that there is no knowing when a person living with dementia may lose capacity suddenly, become unable to use their bank accounts, get access to building society funds, or just simply manage bills.
Similarly, they may have difficulty understanding their medical condition, be unable to give authorisation for medical procedures or manage their own health needs.
Lasting powers of attorney for finance and property and health and welfare will give you the full and ongoing authority to act on behalf of your love one and also in their absolute best interests. Sadly for me, although we got Lasting powers of attorney, we overlooked my partner's will. And by the time I had the time to sit down and think about the inadequacies in his existing will, it was too late. As by this time my wonderful husband had lost his ability to sign his name or give sufficient, credible responses to questions to define his mental capacity, as being acceptable for the purposes of rewriting His Will. I used to spend time practising with Tom to keep his signature going, but sadly this went quite quickly after his diagnosis. Needless to say finance companies were sending new bank cards through the post when the old ones had expired. And I was unable to get him to sign them and use them.
We continue to go shopping and where possible I'd encourage him to scan his card so there was no record necessary. Ultimately, I had to write to each of his account managers and tell them what happened, as well as provide them with copies of the lasting powers of attorney. Needless to say, this is all more work but it enabled me to maintain my husband's accounts and for me to gain control over them and in my own time decide whether or not to keep them going or close them down.
"Without power-of-attorney, this process would've been impossibly difficult."
Another thing I found out more than a year after retiring early (59 years) from work, was that my state pension was going to be reduced because I was no longer paying national insurance contributions. I discovered too late, that the state has a benefit called carers credit where if you meet the criteria, the government will pay this for you. Another sphere of seemingly endless effort required, is in determining whether or not you or your partner may qualify for state aid. I recall trying to get a blue badge in my local authority in London and having to complete a form, pay a fee and demonstrate how able my partner was to walk. After doing all of this and parting with £10, the blue badge was declined. It's insufferable that as a carer taking on a role, which could so easily be a cost to the state that you can be denied some of the most basic needs in order to perform your role. I think it's this that leads so many carers to become activists.
(nb. Blue Badge is now issued for mental incapacity [not just physical disabilities] - you can use our Blue Badge checker to understand if you're eligible). Sadly, although support for people with dementia and their carers is improving There is still a long way to go. Most of what you do is through self motivation, self learning and sheer determination. There are many more other legal nuances around people with dementia/disabilities. For example, foreign travel insurance. It's important also to mention that there is a lot of important talk around rights and that these must not change where somebody has a dementia diagnosis.
For example, the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 gives people the right not to be discriminated against. This could be a situation in a workplace where reasonable adjustments must be made for people to enable them to continue working rather than showing them the door.
The British Institute of Human Rights (BIHR) has practical guides on rights including those aimed at dementia practitioners, 'Dementia and Human Rights'. It's important to be aware of your rights: hard work to follow this through but sadly there is evidence that there is still stigma associated with disability, age or other minority characteristics and it's important to ensure that you are not hindered in achieving the best ongoing health, welfare and support for your loved one and that you have scope to complain if you are. So here we are a few years into care for my husband. It started in 2008. It took eight years before we got a formal dementia diagnosis. Getting a diagnosis, as hard as that is, does open doors and does ensure that you get access to much of the support that you need.
"This is also the moment that you take on the label of 'Carer'. This attribution too is very important because as a Carer, you too need support not just the person you are caring for."
Becoming a carer means you could access local care centres, carers groups and forums and support from your GP. This does not mean that you're not still the close loving partner that you've always been, just an additional hat to wear.
We're very thankful to Mike for sharing his story, and for the hindsight knowledge he has shared, when he talks about the Legal Blindspot.
If you are facing a similar situation and would benefit from a chat with our team, you can book a free 1:1 support call with us. It can be really helpful to support you to organise your thoughts or simply to get things off of your chest.
We will also be running a livestream with Elspeth from Osborn Law. Elspeth, a carer herself, will be chatting with us about key legal considerations as a carer. Please make sure you're signed up to our Mobilise emails, to receive the notification.

ABOUT Random maxx
The Modern Age
Milwaukee's Best Cover Band of 2012, as voted by the readers of the Shepherd Express, and a nominee of five WAMI awards, Random Maxx has achieved its share of decoration, earning songwriting and performance awards from public polls, industry organizations, and regional press. Two of their songs have been CD roulette winners in the Wisconsin Area Music Industry ("A Very Someone" "Utopia"). Random Maxx is a 12-time performer at Milwaukee's Summerfest (including 2015), the world's largest music festival, and has played all over Wisconsin and the surrounding area.
In 1997, guitarists Mark Redlich and Bo Johnson joined forces with bassist Matty Phillips and drummer Jim Schweitzer to create Random Maxx. The early shows were notable not just for the cool, sparsely attended diner and bar locales in St. Francis and Cudahy, but mostly for the foursome to sing a vast array of styles, with anyone taking lead vocal duties at any time while the rest create mesmerizing harmonies, and occassionally switching instruments throughout the set.
The Golden Age through the Exodus Age
As Random Maxx matured, eventually they settled on standard rock instrumentation and started to hone themselves into a musical entity whose product is best labeled vocal power pop --- big guitars, big harmonies, and big hooks. They released a couple of CD's, Senseless Beauty and Rock Star Parking, in this arrangement, the latter being produced by RIAA-certified producer Mike Hoffmann (The Verve Pipe, Willy Porter, Victor Delorenzo). Rock Star Parking helped garner Random Maxx significant radio airplay on college, internet, and international radio. After Jim's departure in 2004, the band added Mary Morales on keyboards, and Dave Partridge on drums. It was this lineup that performed in Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's acclaimed production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Dave left in 2005 and was replaced by Terry Schroeder (with the excellent Stephen Gaulke filling in during the interim), and Mary left in 2006 and was replaced by Jamie and Erin Schlecht on keyboards. During this period, songwriting, arranging, and lead vocal duties in the band were still split in among everyone, with each member contributing much in the way of creative voice to the overall sonic cocktail, one that often emphasized four-, five-, and even six-part harmonies. Erin and Terry exited in 2008 and Mike Grassman joined to take over drumming duties. In early 2009, Matty announced his decision to leave the band due to a job opportunity in a faraway land (Pennsylvania) and was replaced by Mike Nitka. Mike G. then parted with the band shortly after, and Steve replaced him on drums... for a while. But, then Terry came back to replace Steve, and Jake Gobel joined in 2011 to replace Mike N. on bass. Then in 2016, Jamie left the band and was replaced by Katrina Jean --- and now we find Random Maxx in their current lineup, with Bo and Mark the remaining original members. Got it? Of course not. I'm lost. And I wrote it.

Why you need Surge Protection! The standard designated flow of electricity is 220 volts. When voltage increases such that it substantially exceeds this standard, it is referred to as a 'power surge'. At its most basic level, this causes wiring to overheat and begin to burn – which can cause damage to the tune of thousands if not millions of rands for homes and businesses, who both use an abundance of expensive appliances and devices.
These devices can be protected and the risk of damage averted by using effective surge protection. Several electronic devices contain sensitive circuitry or microchips. Even a slight surge in voltage to these systems can put a strain on the device, which compromises its ability to perform as it was built to. In some instances, if the surge in voltage is extreme enough, these devices can be completely destroyed, almost instantaneously.
In most cases, the toggled use of heavy-duty ('juice hungry') appliances such as air conditioners and elevators is to blame for creating power surges. The reason for this is that – because their operation requires significant amounts of electricity – sudden bursts of activity when these appliances are used disrupts the constant flow of voltage in a particular electrical system.
Standard surge protectors work by passing the electrical current from an electrical outlet to devices currently plugged into the power strip. A surge or spike above the standard level of 220 volts causes the surge protector to automatically redirect the "extra" electricity into the grounding wire attached to that outlet, which quickly returns the voltage to a safe, normal level.
Clamping voltage: This is a rating score that alerts customers to the level of voltage that will cause the product to pass electricity to the ground wire; The lower the rating, the better the device will be at offering effective protection.
Energy absorption/dissipation: This is a rating that denotes the device's capacity to absorb excess electricity before failing. A higher "joule" delivers more protection. A protector with a rating of 600 joules or more provides good protection.
Response time: Opt for a surge protector that has a response time of less than one nanosecond. The longer the response time, the more your equipment is exposed, and the more vulnerable it will be to damage.
Standard electrical outlets (such as those in the average home or office) will benefit adequately from simple surge protectors that are equipped with a breaker to trip the affected device. Many standard surge protection devices are fitted with an indicator light to let the user know that it is working properly.
A power surge can enter into a home through any single wire and cause immense damage to all electrical equipment inside. There is a common misconception many people hold, that all-around surge protection is simply a matter of plugging multiple devices into a low-cost, multi-outlet surge suppressor ('multi-plug'). This is unfortunately not realistic.
To protect a range of electronic devices in a single home at once, it is necessary to install a whole-home surge protection system. This system is hard-wired into the building's main electrical panel by an experienced technician. Telephone and cable lines, as well as delicate circuitry, can be effectively protected by smaller whole-home surge protection systems.
Make use of the less costly multi-outlet device only as a backup, to absorb any excess power that may bypass this more effective whole-home system.
Request an Electrician TODAY to install your Surge Protection.

Paximadi (, Mehrzahl paximadia) bezeichnet ein mehrfach gebackenes, sehr lange haltbares Brot, das in Griechenland verbreitet ist. Dieser griechische "Zwieback" ist wesentlich härter als der in Deutschland übliche und uneingeweicht kaum zu essen.
Das mehrfach gebackene Paximadi war früher immer und überall verfügbar (zum Beispiel bei Hirten, Fischern und Seeleuten). Das Gerstenbrot wird oft mit Kräutern oder Sesam und Schwarzkümmel gewürzt, und es gibt Varianten mit Nüssen.

Verwendung
Ein bekanntes damit zubereitetes Gericht ist das Koukouvagia (Dakos).

Siehe auch
Paximadi ist im Griechischen auch die Bezeichnung für eine Schraubenmutter.

In 2008 the Global Network for People Living with HIV/AIDS (GNP+), the International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (ICW), the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and UNAIDS presented 'The People living with HIV Stigma Index'. The Index aims to build the evidence base for understanding stigma and discrimination experienced by people living with HIV in different countries.
The index creates a great opportunity for the HIV in Europe initiative to gather data within countries and facilitate comparisons between countries.
HIV in Europe's stigma index project rolled out the stigma index in 5 countries in the European region focusing on stigma in relation to HIV testing and access to treatment.
HIV in Europe supports the implementation of the stigma index in Poland, Ukraine, Estonia, Moldova and Turkey.
The second phase of this project is to develop advocacy plans based on the findings of the report. This project period runs from 2011-2012.


Mortals is an all-female metal band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2009. Starting off playing metallic punk, they have since began to play a mixture of sludge, black metal, doom metal and crust. They are currently signed to Relapse Records.
Relapse are on a bit of a tear of late, signing all manner of bands both old and new; from death metal legends like Obituary to North Carolina's grind neophytes Columns, they've got new records in the works from most areas of extreme metal. It's at least encouraging to see this kind of faith being shown in a time when the industry as a whole is apparently eating beans on toast five nights out of seven. Scooping up Mortals as a part of this recent drive may well be one of the smarter moves they've made.


In Memoriam is an open-ended, multi-user virtual reality experience that presents a future in which nature is preserved as a synthetic monument.
Two participants, after donning VR headsets, enter a surreal world of plastic trees, open water, and forest sounds from the past. Entering at two different locations in the landscape, guests are tasked to find each other while exploring an artificial forest.
What is familiar? What is strange? How will they relate their respective locations? What language will they use to describe their foreign surroundings? What clues will they leave for one another, and what will they discover along the way?
In collaboration with Carrie Wang.
What can I write about networking in virtual reality? It's challenging and fragile but possible if you have inspiring professor and supportive peers. A huge thanks to Igal Nassima and our classmates who encouraged and helped us along the way.
For this week's exercise we built a virtual reality painting app like Tilt Brush, but not as fancy, for with the Oculus Rift and touch controllers. The SteamVR interaction library makes it easy to pair buttons and triggers on the hand controllers to functions in your project's code. In my sketch, touching my "brush" to one of the cubes allows me to paint in 3D space with that same color when I squeeze my controller's trigger. Here's an outline of the setup and my code.
I started by adding objects to my scene's hierarchy. Adding the SteamVR Player object to the Hierarchy menu and disabling the default main camera allows the Rift-wearing user to become the camera instead.
After that I created a basic 3D plane to which I applied the SteamVR Teleport Area Script. I also added the SteamVR Teleporting object to the Hierarchy, and these items in place allow me to move around the plane using my hand controllers.
Then I added a 3D Plane with its own material (added to Mesh of the Mesh Collider component) to sit just below the Teleporting plane to define that area with some color.
Next I created my color menu with three cubes—Red, Green, and Blue, each with their own material (attached to the Mesh Renderer component). I parented (is this the right terminology?) these cubes to my player's LeftHand (Player > SteamVRObjects > LeftHand) such that when engaged in VR, they follow the movements of my left controller. My menu travels with me—thanks to Terrick for that idea!
I also created a sphere (my "brush") to which I parented to my player's RightHand. Using the SteamVR Behaviour_Boolean (Script) I set the GrabGrip action (squeezing the controller's trigger) to the Draw() function of my ControllerHander script (see below).
After that I created was a sphere of the same size, which I converted into a Prefab in anticipation of instantiating it multiple times as the "paint" of my brush strokes.
BrushHandler is attached to my brush and sets up a public color variable called currentColor. This does not mirror the actual color of my sphere, however, which I gave its own material.
ColorSelector is attached to each of the color menu's cubes and does two things: creates a public color variable that matches the color its cube and contains an OnTriggerEnter function that sets the value of the brush's currentColor variable to its own color.
ControllerHandler is attached my RightHand controller and create a public GameObject to which I added my DrawingSphere Prefab (see above). My Draw() function, which is called when I squeeze the trigger of my RightHand controller, gets the value of the currentColor variable associated with my brush, instantiates the DrawingSphere object, adds that object to a List, assigns the color to it, and then positions it at the same location in space as my hand. If the number of spheres exceeds a threshold, then they are removed from the list and deleted so as not to bog down the computer's memory with thousands upon thousands of game objects.
To improve the user's experience, I would update the material of the brush to match the color of the menu item it selects. Aaand, after Igal taught us about pure functions and state machines, try to incorporate those in projects using C# and other languages.
Here I am learning out loud about Unity for a class focused on social virtual reality. Yes, networked VR! Unity is a massive game engine that supports many platforms for multiple applications. In the past week I've gotten to know my way around the interface, and now I'm learning how to assemble game objects and code in simple exercises. No doubt this post is a gross simplicity of the basics, but it's a start.
There are give game objects in this project, which has one scene: a cube, a plane, a main camera, a directional light, and an object that I'm calling the Game Manager. Game objects are created and display in the Hierarchy menu. Each object has a their own set of components. Right now I'm thinking about components as qualities that you attach to an objet that set it up to respond to the environment or to other objects in a variety of different ways. Components are like an object's "adjectives" and include information about how an object looks (it's material), how it responds to light, and it's orientation and position in space. All of these attributes can be altered by code (written in C#) AND you can also write code to program additional variables for an object's components.
In this exercise, the plane has seven components. Beyond the default components provided with a plane 3D object (transform, mesh renderer for a plane, mesh renderer, mesh collider, default material), I added a rigidbody. A rigidbody sets up the object to respond to the laws of physics, however it will not fall due to gravity if it is marked as kinematic, which this plane is.
To the cube, I added a rigidbody marked to use gravity, an audio source, and a material. Because it responds to gravity, the cube falls upon starting the game play. The color of the box was a created as a material (Project > Create > Material) and dragged into the cube's Inspector to sit with the other components. And and audio plays for the cube when the game starts.
Both of the plane and cube have collider components (think invisible field that completely surrounds an object), which means that we can exploit when objects' colliders intersect with one another. However, I did not do that in this exercise, but of note: without the Box Collider marked for the cube, it will simply fall through the plane.
I styled the cube in the Hierarchy and then dragged into my Project's Assets folder to convert it into a PreFab, which means that I can create multiple instances of it. Creating multiple cubes is handled by my BoxCreator script, which is attached to my GameManager object. When the game starts multiple cubes (as many as I want) are created at random locations.
The GameController game object contains a script component linked to a script of the same name that handles the basic flow of the game. Similar to P5 sketches it has Start() and Update() functions so I can determine what it begins upon play and what loops throughout. I can also add my own functions. This script handles ties together the main actions that occur while the game is in play and what to reset when the timer runs out or when my player, the spaceship, is destroyed by an asteroid. The GameController game object also an audio source with background music and variables to display text on the screen.
I learned that using an IEnumerator-type of function is a smart way to incorporate wait times without halting the entire program with a delay. The GameController script incorporates two these: one to handle the constant timer countdown and the other to instantiate a new asteroid every half second.
PlayerController: constrains (or clamps) the ship's movement around the game board, its speed, its tilt when moving to the left or right, and instantiates fire bolts when the mapped key is pressed. In addition to Update(), this scripts uses a FixedUpdate() which is called automatically just before each fixed physics step.
DestroyByTime: when the game starts access to the GameController script is initialized, such that when my gameController.timeLeft variable reaches zero my player gameObject is destroyed (disappears from the game).
DestroyByContact: the player gameObject is destroyed when its mesh collider collides with an asteroid. Both player and the asteroids are marked as triggers, and I've used the OnTriggerEvent(). When the game starts, access to the GameController script is initialized such that when this gameObject is destroyed, a the gameController.GameOver() is called.
RandoRotator: gets the rigidbody component to modify its angular velocity with random values.
Mover: gets the rigidbody component to modify how fast the asteroid moves forward.
DestroyByTime: exact same script that is attached to the PlayerController game object (see above).
DestroyByContact: exact same script that is attached to the PlayerController game object except for the purposes of each asteroid this scripts states that when it's collider merges with one of the colliders of the ship's bolts or that of the player gameObject itself, it explodes (the asteroid explosion is instantiated). When the game starts, access to the GameController script is initialized such when an asteroid is destroyed, the gameController.AddScore() is called to increase the number of points.
Boundary is a game object with a box collider that is a trigger and contains a DestroyByBoundary script component that destroys asteroids when they leave the game board or field of view. Without this, asteroids would just build up in our program and I'm guessing eventually slow everything down. Hmmm…is this a simple way to create a particle system?

Astronomy (from Greek: ἀστρονομία) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It applies mathematics, physics, and chemistry in an effort to explain the origin of those objects and phenomena and their evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, galaxies, and comets; the phenomena also includes supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasars blazars, pulsars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, all phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy. A related but distinct subject is physical cosmology, which is the study of the Universe as a whole.
Astronomy is one of the oldest of the natural sciences. The early civilizations in recorded history, such as the Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Egyptians, Nubians, Iranians, Chinese, Maya, and many ancient indigenous peoples of the Americas, performed methodical observations of the night sky. Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy, and the making of calendars, but professional astronomy is now often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics.
Professional astronomy is split into observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is focused on acquiring data from observations of astronomical objects, which is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented toward the development of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena. The two fields complement each other, with theoretical astronomy seeking to explain observational results and observations being used to confirm theoretical results.
Astronomy is one of the few sciences in which amateurs still play an active role, especially in the discovery and observation of transient events. Amateur astronomers have made and contributed to many important astronomical discoveries, such as finding new comets.

how can i fix a crack in my Kicker cvr subs?
There is a dime sized hole and crack in the hard cone. of my 12in kicker cvr subwoofer.
I have a 2000w amp and 4 - 12" Kicker speakers - can these be installed in one box and if so, what size box recommended?
Car stereo puts out much less power than speakers need?
I'm fairly new to car audio. I just put in a Pioneer MVH-370BT headunit into my car, and while it is working great right now, it is evident that I'm going to need new speakers soon because the factory ones are not very good. I was looking at either the Kicker 40CS54 2-way speakers or the Kicker 41DSC54 2-way speakers because many people have recommended these speakers. The problem is on the website, the pioneer headunit only says it puts out 14 watts RMS power while the speakers say that they use up to 75 watt RMS. I'm trying to avoid getting an amp because I'm going to be putting the speakers in myself and i don't want to have to drill a hole through the firewall. So, my question is what will happen if I run the speakers with the 14 watt RMS receiver? Will it just not play very loud? Will the sound be very distorted if I try to play it loud? Is this bad for the speakers? Thanks!
I was thinking of putting 16 4-inch kickers in a couch, on the back side. any ideas on this?
A grandson will go as Harry Potter in a few days. I would like to make a scar to glue to his forehead. As a kicker I want to put an smd LED under the scar. What and where does one find scar materials use to make a on skin ?..
I plan on making a backdrop (pictured) out of copper. I have a little bit of experience soldering copper pipe. I have an idea of how to build the backdrop but would appreciate some feedback/tips.Dimensions:- 5' W x 7' H x 3' DMaterials: - Diagonal members: 0.1875" round bar- Circular votive holders: 0.125" round bar- Rectangular border, kickers, and base: 1/4" x 1" rectangular barI'm thinking that I will solder the diagonal members at each intersection and where the ends meet the rectangular bar frame. The base will be a 3' rectangular bar on the left and on the right. There will be a kicker on each side, connected to the base and about halfway up the vertical members of the frame.Does this seem feasible? Will the structure be stable? How can I form the circular votive holders?

I am looking fixing up my cars stereo and I am not sure about how to pair a sub with an amp. I am using crutchfield.com. I found some speaker I subs I would like to get, they are 12" kickers and there is an 8 ohm version and a 4 ohm version. They are rated for 50 - 150 watts. Now my guess was to buy a 2 channel amp (I wan't two subs) and use it. The one I am looking at is 125 watts @ 4 ohms X 2 speakers. I read that you may want to buy an over-rated amp so you don't blow it by trying to drive excessive speakers. Is this an acceptable combination.
I need some help. Well, I'll be honest, I need a lot of help. I am trying to heat 1 liter of water running through a small tube that holds 8ml of fluid up by 12C, with a maximum temperature of the heater reaching 60C, and the entire liter needs to be heated within 30 minutes. In my experiments, the tube holds 8ml of fluid while passing along the 'heater' core, and will pass by the core in a total of 10 seconds. So 8ml heated by 12C in 10 seconds is the limiting factor and multiply that out to cover 30 minutes. The good news, I have managed to accomplish this feat by wrapping the tube around a curling iron rated at 80W x 110V. End result is 12C rise in output fluid, so I know the theory is completely possible. However, here's the kicker, the entire system needs to run off of battery power. So the 2 big questions are: what material should I use as the 'heater core' since I can not use a standard curling iron, and what battery system/configuration should I use (needs to be universal purchase ie, AA, AAA, D, C, 123, 9V, etc) Any help would be greatly appreciated both to my personal safety as I tinker in the garage, and to my wife's sanity as she watches me play with water around plugged in curling irons. :) Thanks in advance.

Me and my gf have decided to tackle a project recently out of curiosity and boredom. My Ariens YT12 could use a new painting. I had took the angle grinder to the a$$ end of the tractor and cleaned up the rusted parts and scraped up the painted areas. I had a fight with the angle grinder for a brief few seconds and messed up my arm a bit, so I decided not to do any more grinding with the wire cup. I've since put on a couple coats of black spray enamel paint, and I've even painted over other areas too not just the rust spots, I tried to wipe down the machine with a wet cloth the best that I could. I've given it a few coats but I might have to go around yet and touch up some other spots, I DO plan on doing more painting to the frame soon, but maybe when it's nicer out and not so windy. Heres the kicker, when my gf gets home, we've already cut out some really neat looking stencils and we plan on spray-painting the hood of the tractor, I'm not sure if I should rough up the surface first or just leave it be and clean it with a wet cloth before painting. It's going to be the coolest looking hood ever (I hope if it turns out how I'm hoping). Stay tuned I'll upload MOAR pictures soon! Update!!!! I've added some more pictures I just took them after peeling the stencil off my tractor's hood. I got more paint splatter than I would have liked, but overall I'm pleased with how it came out. I have MORE pictures to come as I finish the black stripe. 2nd Update: I just peeled the painters tape off and I like how clean-cut the stripe looks, however there was some seepage and I need to touch it up. 'Should still make the neighbors jealous though. 3rd Update: I've put the hood back ON the tractor, and I think it looks pretty damn snazzy if you ask me! Check out the last picture in the list to see what I'm talking about!

Faulty & Defective Lens Claims Against Oculentis
Earlier this year there were reports* of people experiencing vision problems, including "blind patches", as a result of intraocular lenses being used in lens replacement surgery in the UK. The lenses, manufactured by the large multinational pharmaceutical company, Oculentis, were found to cause issues at various stages post-surgery. If you have suffered loss as a result of lens replacement surgery in the UK, Friends Legal can help you to bring a claim for compensation.
At Friends Legal, we have a specialist eye injury team who deal with these cases day in day out across the UK, bringing claims against companies such as Oculentis on behalf of those that have suffered an injury as a result of medical negligence. We can help you claim the compensation you deserve.
To discuss your case with the specialist team here at Friends Legal, call us now on 0131 357 6261 or complete our online enquiry form and we will get back to you right away. We're here to help.
What are Intraocular Lenses?
Intraocular lenses are used by surgeons to replace a patient's natural lens when they have developed a cataract. The cataractous lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic intraocular lens.
Intraocular lenses have been used increasingly in surgery on patients who do not have cataracts but wish to remove the need to wear glasses or reduce dependency on glasses. Some private High Street surgery providers advertise that lens replacement surgery removes the need to wear glasses.
Several types of intraocular lens exist currently, and can be used in lens replacement surgery:
Monofocal lenses seek to correct refractive errors at one distance. These tend to be what is used by the NHS. Patients often have monofocal lenses implanted which seek to provide good distance vision, however, such patients are required to wear glasses for close-up tasks after surgery
Multifocal intraocular lenses seek to improve vision at distance, intermediate and near. Extended depth of focus lenses such as the Symfony Tecnis seek to provide good vision at all distances
What Can Give Rise to a Claim for Faulty or Defective Lenses?
Whatever type of lens is used, patients face a risk of developing a condition called Posterior Capsular Opacification ("PCO") when the bag containing the clear lens thickens and interferes with the patient's vision. If this occurs, the patient often complains that their vision has become blurred.
If this condition occurs, the treatment is ndYAG laser capsulotomy. Initially, some people were told that they had developed PCO as a result of the initial surgery, which would then require treatment with ndYAG laser. However, further examination revealed that the patient's issues were not in fact caused by PCO, which is common following both cataract and elective lens replacement surgery.
In some cases, problems have arisen when the lens used in surgery was manufactured by Oculentis. It was discovered that the lenses used had started to opacify: also known as mineralisation or calcification. The onset of visual problems is often sudden, although many people experience a more gradual deterioration in their vision over time, sometimes years later. This deterioration is caused by calcium deposits accumulating on the surface of the lens.
As a result of ongoing post-surgery complications, the lenses in question were recalled by the manufacturers in 2014 and in 2017.
Faulty & Defective Lens Claims Lawyers
If you are unsure if you have a claim, our team can help. After an initial consultation, our solicitors will then be able to advise you as to whether your claim has a good chance of succeeding and also whether we can work with you on a no-win, no fee basis. Call us now on 0131 357 6261 or complete our online enquiry form, and we will get back to you without delay.
If you have suffered vision deterioration as a result of a lens replacement surgery, you may be entitled to a no-cost remedial surgery. As a result of the large number of patients affected, Oculentis set up a scheme whereby people can have the faulty lens explanted and replaced, free of charge. Several people have had the explant and replacement surgery performed by the original surgery providers (e.g. Optical Express), while others have the surgery performed on the NHS. Others go to surgeons who have agreed to perform the surgery: Oculentis also provide a list of the surgeons experienced in this area who are willing to assist, located across the UK.
How Friends Legal Can Help
Where a patient has had treatment for PCO, explant surgery is even more difficult and poses even more risks than cases where the patient has not had ndYAG laser treatment. Further surgery can pose further risks to your health and long-term vision, issues which you may be entitled compensation for.
Oculentis state that the mean stage at which problems develop is 3 years after lens replacement surgery. However, here at Friends Legal, we have clients whose problems did not arise until 8 or more years later.
It can be difficult to understand exactly what has gone wrong and at which point, but our specialists will discuss your case with you fully to determine whether you have a good claim.
We have a specialist eye injury team who deal with these cases regularly across the UK, bringing claims against lens manufacturers including Oculentis. If you have been affected by faulty or defective lenses, we can also help you arrange remedial surgery to correct the issue.
We understand the impact your injury may have had on your life and the lives of your loved ones, and we will fight to get you the maximum compensation you are owed.

Tom Hiddleston Tumblr Q And A
Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of Loki, Thor's mischievous and morally uncertain brother, has been a fan favorite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the huge number of fans he has, Disney+ has given Loki his very own spinoff show. Tom Hiddleston is best known for playing Loki in Thor, but he is also a talented actor in other roles. Some interesting facts about the actor's life as well as his career are provided below.
Tom Hiddleston was raised by his physicist father, James Hiddleston, and his casting director mother, Diana Hiddleston. His birthplace was Westminster, London. Hiddleston was born into a science-based family, but he always had an fascination with the arts and was awed by watching his mother perform.

While Hiddleston did not have any previous acting background, Branagh chose him to play the lead role of the Loki, the villain. Loki the character he's continued to play for over a decade.
Hiddleston's most memorable role was Thor in the movie, however, he actually tried out for the part. Although he took an audition for the role wearing an afro and a muscle-bound body, director Kenneth Branagh ultimately decided to cast Tom Hiddleston as Loki because of his mischievous sense of humour.
The actor Tom Hiddleston speaks several languages.
Hiddleston is a multilingual polyglot who speaks several languages. In preparation for his role as a character in Kong: Skull Island, the actor even took classes in Mandarin. In addition to being a skilled public speaker, he is also an accomplished actor, having performed in several stage productions, musicals and even plays.

i am in a north south american city, where the current president is getting rid of any middle class that was left. people are either very rich or critically poor.
this mirror situation, but without the admiration for the crap maker, without the safety and the avantgardist pretentions, i.e. reality as sheer misery happens everyday in this city, and they try to avoid looking at it, never mind thinking of it. the rich living in fortress roads going into clubs, the only place where they can feel safe. like in the worst years of the worst colonies. This country needs to be started again from scratch, and, listen to this, some people wouldn´t mind an intervention. this is an oil producing country too, you know¿ it is a very interesting situation, like your opening.


The general rule is that:v Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.
If the one who pays for the labor and services of another has the right to control what will be done and how it will be done, this other person is an employee. This will be so even though the employee has been given some degree of freedom of action. The key determinant is the existence of the right to control the details of how any work is done. Whether such control is actually exercised is irrelevant.
If the one paying for the work does not have the right to control the day-to-day working but merely to direct the desired result, the person supplying the labour is an independent contractor. For example, if a builder uses the in-house employees for basic construction but hires in specialists for eleCenterical, plumbing, plastering, and decorating work as and when required, these are likely to be independent contractors. One clear sign will be whether such individuals are entered in the payroll system and paid as other employees, or paid when the work contracted for is completed and certified of satisfactory quality.

We do all phases of construction from foundation up, or just a simple deck; including renovations large & small.
Also specialize in insurance work, fire and water damage.
it is possible that the Independent Contractor might be considered an Agent of the builder. It depends on how the relationships are formed and proceed. If the Independent Contractor instructs the Third Party to invoice the builder and, in the ordinary course of business, the builder pays, this will clearly be an agency situation. If the builder refuses to pay but had been aware of the Independent Contractor's acts and had done nothing to warn the Third Parties, the builder will be considered a Principal and will be bound. But if there was no apparent or ostensible authority, the Independent Contractor will be liable for breach of the warranty of authority and the builder will have no liability.


Firebase is a mobile and web application development platform developed by Firebase, Inc. in 2011, and was acquired by Google in 2014. So now Firebase is a Google Cloud service, and not just that - it's a flagship product of their Cloud offering.... When it comes to building an Ionic app with a solid backend, the current choice for many people is Firebase, and most of the time combined with AngularFire. And for reasons. And for reasons. The process of connecting an Angular app to Firebase is fairly easy in combination with the great AngularFire package , which is currently at the state of a release candidate for a new version 4.
