(Harrisburg, PA) – Anthony Worrall, president of emergency services and restoration company Reynolds Restoration Services, participated in a webcast about mold in schools entitled "Rain, Rain Will Go Away, but Mold Will Stay." The Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials (PASBO) presented the live webcast to an audience of more than 50 districts on August 9, 2018.
PASBO Director of Leadership and Development Wayne McCullough, Cheltenham School District Director of Facilities and Maintenance Mark Brooks, and retired facilities director Craig Boltz joined Worrall for the 1 1/2-hour webcast that educated school officials about what mold is, how to reduce its presence in schools, and how to treat it if it gets a chance to grow.
Regularly visit all areas of your building, especially those that don't see a lot of traffic such as closets and storage areas. Use your eyes, nose, and ears to detect unusual smells or spots and take immediate action to correct any problems you find.
Evaluate the way you use your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system in the fight against moisture. Consider raising chilled water temperature, closing outside dampers, or raising building temperature set points to lower the humidity to inhibit mold growth.
Custodians are an important member of your mold prevention team. Train them to look for excess moisture and evidence of mold growth and to immediately report their findings.
Reynolds Restoration's trained professionals are available 24/7 to respond to water and mold emergencies, determine the source of the damage, clean up impacted areas, and replace affected floors, ceilings, and carpets.

You could admire the ocean view from the second-floor deck — coastal bluffs covered with wind-sculpted cypress trees to your right, pretty Point Dume off in the distance to your left, 10 miles of prime Malibu beach in between.
Or you could admire the architecture from the street below, looking up at a first floor that juts out from a cliff and hovers over nothingness.
Or you could contemplate the house from the front, where the weathered redwood siding turns out to be planks recycled from olive and pickle tanks.
You could do all of that, but then you might miss part of what makes this house special. This dream of a retreat — set along exclusive Broad Beach, among the mansions that Steven Spielberg, Robert Redford, Goldie Hawn and Steve Levitan have called home — holds smart design ideas that could translate to houses that are miles and miles away, in geography, budget or style.
After all, on paper this house is merely 1,700 square feet of living space: open kitchen and living room, powder room, small office and guest bedroom with bath on the first floor, master suite on the second. That's it.
But as conceived by the young Los Angeles firm W+D, this Malibu house plays out as a case study in the efficient use of space. Wedged next to noisy Pacific Coast Highway and set snugly between neighbors, the house also is inspiration for anyone trying to balance a love of the outdoors with the need for quiet and privacy.
As seen from the beach, the house is meant to be a streamlined white box set atop a rustic base — "a juxtaposition between hard lines and soft lines," W+D founding partner Brett Woods said. "Pure geometry coming off this rugged hillside." A beacon of sorts to all who pass by, he said.
The first-floor deck cantilevers over the hillside thanks to new steel beams set over an existing foundation, but when it came time to design the guest bedroom at one end of the house, Woods pulled back instead of pushing out. Rather than crowd a neighbor's deck with more deck of their own, the designer and his clients shrank the footprint of the guest bedroom to make room for a sheltered terrace.
Deck out. First and foremost, this house is proof that small can feel big. Interiors are more than 700 square feet smaller than the average new American house, but 1,700 square feet of first- and second-floor decking double the living space for Liddell and his partner, producer Pete Shilaimon. The vast outdoor spaces easily accommodate extended family that visits on weekends. "It's the family party pad," Shilaimon said. The designers considered the wood-and-resin composite materials on the market but ultimately chose to satisfy stringent codes by using a fireproof product called DreamDex, real wood infused with a polymer and dried at high temperatures.
Look up. In trying to conceive some sort of trellis or shade structure for the second-floor deck, W+D realized it had an opportunity. "Everyone responds to the ocean for obvious reasons, but we felt opportunity to embrace the sky," Woods said, adding that a new architectural element — a roof with a hole punched through the center like a giant picture frame — draws the eye up and prompts people to appreciate the simple beauty of a blue sky. "That turned out to be one of our favorite moments in the project." The master bathroom has a skylight that achieves a similar effect.
Control the flow. Open floor plans may be all the rage, but sometimes homeowners discover the hard way the downsides of all that openness.
Woods said one goal of the Malibu house was to contain and manage foot traffic, preserving privacy from room to room.
The first-floor deck, for example, is divided by a guardrail, so romping kids or loud adults outside the living room won't spill onto the deck beside the office and distract someone trying to work.
Likewise, a guardrail subtly partitions the master suite, at right, from the vast lounging deck on the second floor.
Liddell and Shilaimon can keep the floor-to-ceiling telescoping glass wall open to the ocean views and breezes and still feel like the master suite remains its own private realm.
Control the view. When owner Liddell said, "I think that's a million-dollar view," he wasn't talking about the ocean. He was referring to the rich light and rolling fog that creeps over the Malibu foothills on the other side of the house at the end of the day. Woods responded with clerestory windows in the living room and guest bedroom that are just large enough to capture those fog-shrouded mountaintops but small enough to minimize the rumble of PCH — and high enough to keep passing cars out of sight. For anyone sitting in either room, the windows look like bucolic landscape paintings on the wall.


Messenger/Chat app without speech-bubble interface?
Discussion in 'iOS Apps' started by SydL, May 4, 2012.
I'm not a fan of the damn speech bubbles. Is there any chat app that doesn't have them, besides IM+ (I'm sorry, but in my opinion IM+ is pretty ugly). Money shouldn't be a problem, but it has to support push, Gtalk & Yahoo, at the very least.
I'd absolutely love it, if it had an IRC-ish look to it, like say MangoIRC (kind of old-school).
I've looked all over but haven't been able to find something satisfactory. Does such an app exist?

Very supportive when we lost our mom this year. Lovely to hear an excellent choir and to have a variety of service styles to choose from.... from informal to old prayer book. Beautiful building.
Very pleasant experience every time, the people working there are very helpful and willing to assist anyone. I was especially impressed with how they go the extra mile by offering to help older people that needed assistance. Well done guys, we appreciate everything you do for us and those in need.
All the people there are always so friendly. They always say hello to me as I have been going a lot with my house move, and they are always so helpful. Anything to heavy they are there helping. Brilliant.
Brilliant staff. So helpful and kind.
Always good service, fast payment and top prices paid. Collected ELV's for me and delivered skips when requested.
Excellent service great people . Always happy with prices .
Friendly welcome and very attentive and friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the steaks, they are cooked to perfection. Despite the place being quite busy, the service is quick and food is delivered to the table in good time, even a bit too fast. Will definetly come back soon!
Lovely place ,excellent service and food ,and made very welcome .
Excellent service, staff very attentive. Food excellent. This is completely new venture. Should not be confused with old curry house which was on same site.
Very good food/good service/friendly staff. Recently re-opened/tastefully refurbished/need some custom.


I love to cook for people – but people aren't necessary to be there.
I'm happy to cook for no people, big elaborate meals even.
If people show up they will DEFINITELY get fed.
It's in my DNA and possibly somewhat of a personality disorder!
Having a somewhat transient lifestyle, there is a constant purge and replenish cycle we go through every time we make a move to a boat, a trailer or even a short stay VRBO in [insert country here].
I got mad and thought huh, you'll see!
The trailer was empty save except the salt, pepper and a few unopened spices hidden in the microwave.
You see, the microwave is the only mouse free zone in our trailer.
We did SUCH a good job of shutting down the trailer in December I thought, for sure, we would not face rodent chaos upon opening.
There it was, when we opened the door, the remnants of a full on mouse Mardi Gras.
We would have been in good shape were it not for the plastic cereal container FILLED with bird food.
I, for one, am thankful the mouse wasn't still in the cereal container when we got here, as it somehow remained upright being compromised only from the top lid.
They were so motivated by their first find they went ahead and chewed the top of the smaller (empty) container as well.
Was this a hit or miss situation?
Do they just randomly start chewing on things hoping for the best?
Envision a mouse hanging down from the top lid from his tiny hind tippy toes in a sort of Mission Impossible formation – apparently that's possible.
If you happen upon a way to completely mouse proof your summer getaway short of insulating every square inch with steel wool – call me.
I personally drop everything and drive you straight over to Dragon's Den to pitch the product/thing/dream come true for every cottager in Canada.
Go ahead and make your gazillion dollar evaluation cause you deserve it!
If only our National Defence could make use of these tiny infiltrating geniuses. There's got to be a way to use their ingenuity for good no?
After storming away from Stevo's muted laughter on my ability (inability) to minimalist provision, it was time.
Trailer kitchen basics re-load here we go!
This list covers MY starting basic trailer life needs. I intend on referring to it for all of our short-term stays cause it's THAT good!
Definitely the most comprehensive list I have ever come up with for any size kitchen but made specifically for this tiny trailer kitchen.
It includes most of the basics plus enough stuff to make the meals listed below so you don't starve to death when that freak spring snowstorm traps you!
This is a real thing in Canada as we are sitting and waiting on this the 3rd day of April for 25cm (more or less) to hit.
Luckily mice don't eat laundry detergent, bleach, pine sol, garbage bags and dish soap so these were not on the list but still important for opening day.
So now, when you go to open up your cabin/cottage/trailer this year, you can stop at the grocery store (with confidence…and this list) and know you won't have to run out to get those forgotten items therefore wasting precious tranquil northern moments.
Jumping in the lake, grilling and campfires – bring it on!
And yes, Stevo was right.
I am incapable of shopping to just keep us alive cause I'm pretty sure the 'Just Keep Us Alive' list wouldn't have coconut milk, cumin and molasses on it would it!
Prev Don't wait for it. Go get it!
Ha ha! No mice in my trailer….its because they are in my house…trailer sits next to house and the mice aren't interested!! So the solution is….get another trailer and let them have it!!!!
The new house is not attractive to them yet but DAMN I believe they are THAT smart!

+++ Plant Munich launches production of the fully electric BMW i4 +++ At least half of all cars from Munich plant will be electrified by 2023 +++ Project for emission-free transport logistics in home plant gets under way +++ Nedeljković: "BMW i4 is a milestone on the road to electric mobility."
Munich. The first series-produced BMW i4 has today rolled off the production lines at BMW Group Plant Munich. The company's home plant now manufactures all drive variants on a single assembly line. "For the plant and team, the launch of the BMW i4 is a milestone on the road to electric mobility," said Milan Nedeljković, BMW AG Board Member for Production. "By 2023 more than half of all vehicles from our Munich facility will have an electrified drive. The majority will be fully electric. So Munich goes fully electric."
Setting up production of the fully electric BMW i4 in the confines of the almost 100-year-old plant, the conversion and installation of systems proved particularly challenging. "We succeeded in integrating the new vehicle into our existing systems without halting production. The team and our partners did an amazing job," added Peter Weber, Director of BMW Group Plant Munich. Space constraints notwithstanding, existing systems were removed, and new ones installed and ramped up. "Our bodyshop is a shining example of intelligent, efficient integration. Most of the new production processes for the BMW i4 can be carried out on the existing bodyshop systems," Weber explained.
Integrating electromobility into series production
The main difference between the BMW i4 and conventional architectures is the electric drive and high-voltage battery. About 90 percent of the existing systems in the Munich bodyshop can still be used for the new model. Additional ones were required only for the floor assembly and rear end.
Another highly complex topic was the integration into assembly of the high-voltage battery. The battery pack is now bolted onto the body by a new, fully automated battery assembly system that works from below. Fully automated, high-resolution camera systems scan it thoroughly beforehand to ensure the surface is absolutely clean and there are no impurities that could cause damage.
The BMW Group's home plant now manufactures an extensive portfolio of products, comprising not only the BMW i4 but also the combustion-powered and hybrid BMW 3 Series Sedan and Touring, the BMW M3 and the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe. The scope of production is a testament not only to the plant's flexibility but also to the outstanding skills of its associates.
Digitalisation is progressing
Increasing digitalisation plays an important part in BMW Group production. The whole of Plant Munich is currently being 3D-scanned in minute detail to obtain a full set of basic digital data of both the building and its systems. The scans are then processed and saved on the cloud so the data can be accessed from anywhere using an intuitive, browser-based tool. Several plants have already been fully 3D-scanned – Spartanburg and Regensburg among them – and Plant Dingolfing is undergoing the process at the moment. By the end of 2022, the structure of all the major car plants in the BMW Group production network will have been scanned, and digital data will be available for everyone.
The BMW Group already utilises virtual planning tools to plan buildings and systems today. Axle pre-assembly for the BMW i4, for example, was planned with the Omniverse Nucleus platform, by NVIDIA. This converges data from the design and planning tools of various producers to create photorealistic real-time simulations in a single collaborative environment. The data from the 3D scans is also fed into the Omniverse platform.
Other digital applications are used directly in production. Radio frequency identification (RFID), for example, allows parts to be identified and assigned contactlessly and automatically along the value chain, eliminating the need for manual scanning and ensuring the right one is fitted to the right car. RFID technology is already in use in seat production but has also made its way into various areas of vehicle assembly at Plant Munich. The smart labels required for it are attached to parts while they are still with suppliers or in BMW Group component production, ready for use in assembly. They are then picked up by line-side antennae that track every labelled component in every car. Digitalisation of this kind makes processes faster and more secure, and enhances efficiency and quality as a result.
Reverse osmosis system cuts water consumption by six million litres
Within the production system, the issue of sustainability is of fundamental importance, and the BMW Group has adopted a holistic approach to reducing CO2 emissions and minimising the use of resources. Between 2006 and 2020, resource consumption per car produced fell more than half, and CO2 emissions have dropped even further, by 78 percent. The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions per vehicle produced by another 80 percent by 2030. At Plant Munich some changes have been made and a series of new measures implemented. That's why the plant now uses reverse osmosis to cut freshwater consumption. The system was integrated into production in the spring of this year and now treats water from the cathodic dip – where the base coat is applied to vehicles – so it can be re-used for the same stage of the process. The new system is expected to reduce total annual freshwater consumption by more than six million litres. Since 1997, BMW Group Plant Munich has been using groundwater from its own source on the plant campus. This provides enough to cover about half of the plant's annual needs and makes a significant contribution towards saving valuable drinking water.
New sustainability target: zero local emissions from transport logistics
With a particular focus on reducing CO2 emissions, the BMW Group has also announced another goal to coincide with the production launch of the BMW i4: over the next few years, local emissions from transport logistics at Plant Munich will gradually fall to zero. This will be achieved mainly by making greater use of rail transport and battery-electric trucks. At the moment more than 750 truck deliveries are required daily for the delivery of parts. In the future the inner-city stretches of these journeys will be made by electric trucks. In addition, the share of vehicles leaving plant Munich by train will gradually increase from the current 50 percent. The ultimate aim is to eliminate emissions completely from transport logistics in the Munich area, but also to bring about significant cuts within a broader radius and from intercontinental transportation.
Peter Weber, Director of BMW Group Plant Munich: "We are well aware that, owing to the city location of our production facility, we have a special responsibility. Our project to reduce CO2 emissions at our home plant will have a major impact that's positive both for the environment and for our immediate neighbourhood."
Since last year, all the energy sourced worldwide by the BMW Group has been green. For production of the BMW i4, for example, the environmental credentials of green energy were further enhanced by sourcing it directly from regional hydro-electric power stations. Furthermore, starting this year, the BMW Group is offsetting its remaining (Scope 1 + 2) CO2 emissions from production. These are caused by combined heat and power generation and are fully offset worldwide with relevant carbon credits.
The transformation and future focus of the home plant continue
The integration of the BMW i4 into existing production structures came at an investment of €200 million. The i4 is an important trailblazer for the Neue Klasse, due for rollout in Munich and other plants around the middle of this decade, and designed purely for electric powertrains.
The BMW Group first announced its plans to upgrade Plant Munich for electromobility less than a year ago: new vehicle assembly and bodyshop facilities were to be constructed, and engine production was to relocate to other parts of the production network. Since then, hundreds of associates have started working at other technologies or other facilities. By the end of this year, four-cylinder engine production will have relocated to Hams Hall, UK, and Steyr, Austria. The relocation of engine production as a whole from Munich will reach completion by 2024 at the latest.

Deceptive Police Interrogation Practices: How Far is too Far?
Laurie Magid, Villanova Law School
Virtually all interrogations - or at least virtually all successful interrogations - involve some deception. As the United States Supreme Court has placed few limits on the use of deception, the variety of deceptive techniques is limited chiefly by the ingenuity of the interrogator. Interrogators still rely on the classic "Mutt and Jeff," or "good cop, bad cop," routine. Interrogators tell suspects that nonexistent eyewitnesses have identified them, or that still at-large accomplices have given statements against them. Interrogators have been known to put an unsophisticated suspect's hand on a fancy, new photocopy machine and tell him that the "Truth Machine" will know if he is lying. Occasionally, an interrogator will create a piece of evidence, such as a lab report purporting to link the suspect's bodily fluids to the victim. Perhaps most often, interrogators lie to create a rapport with a suspect. Interrogators who feel utter revulsion toward suspects accused of horrible crimes sometimes speak in a kindly, solicitous tone, professing to feel sympathy and compassion for the suspect and to feel that the victim, even if a child, should share the blame. At the very least, the successful interrogator deceives the suspect by allowing the suspect to believe that it somehow will be in the suspect's best interest to undertake the almost always self-defeating course of confessing. Because most deception is employed only after the suspect executes a valid waiver of Miranda rights, Miranda offers suspects little protection from deceptive interrogation techniques. Thus, commentators have increasingly looked to the volllntariness requirement of the Due Process Clause as a basis for limiting these techniques. These commentators have offered a variety of rationales for the voluntariness requirement - such as equality, dignity, and trust - to justify limiting the use of deception. On close scrutiny, however, none of these rationales provides a sound basis for prohibiting or drastically limiting the use of deception during interrogation. Presumably in recognition of the fact that these rationales have somewhat limited resonance with the Court, with legislators, and with the public at large, some commentators have now focused on the reliability rationale for the voluntariness requirement. A confession is unreliable when the person who gives it actually had nothing to do with the crime to which he purports to confess.

Q: Lock a file for reading even from Operating System except a single process I have a encrypted zip with a file inside it.
I want to decrypt said file, and use the path of the decrypted file as a input to a new java program.
I don't want anyone to read my decrypted file, nor do anything else with it.
The best solution I've found is to have several different processes monitoring the folder where I extracted my zip, to check if anyone is reading the file or copying to another place.
If I use http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/channels/FileLock.html, the lock is only respected on the JVM right? If I use the operating system clipboard to copy the file to another place it circumvents my lock right?
Besides that, I have a java program that unzips the file and after that calls the command that will in fact read the unzipped file.This means I can't lock the file on the JVM, I have to lock it to be used by a third party command.
What would be the best approach or what topic I should google?

A: The Java FileLock may be enough for your needs, but doesn't work on all platforms.  From the javadoc:

Platform dependencies
This file-locking API is intended to map directly to the native locking facility of the underlying operating system. Thus the locks held on a file should be visible to all programs that have access to the file, regardless of the language in which those programs are written.
Whether or not a lock actually prevents another program from accessing the content of the locked region is system-dependent and therefore unspecified.

How big is the file?  You should decrypt the file into memory so that only your process has access to it.

Syrian Army Retakes Key Points Along Major Oil Pipeline
By Irina Slav - Jul 25, 2016, 5:54 PM CDT
The Syrian army wrestled control of a strategic points along a major oil pipeline in Al-Badia in western Syria from ISIS, after several days of fighting in which the army and its allies have been pushing into the desert region of al-Salamiyah.
Several local villages have reportedly been freed from ISIS' control as the Syrian Army re-established its partial control of the vital oil pipeline.
Fighting in the region has been heavy, according to sources, with ISIS using suicide bombers against the army forces, including four bomb-loaded cars, which the Syrian army managed to neutralize, Sputnik reports. The cars were located on a road leading to strategic points of the pipeline.
The next target of the army is the city of Tabqah, which is still under the control of the terrorist group.
Earlier this month, government forces managed to repel an attack by ISIS in Aleppo, one of the main focal points of the war raging across Syria. According to sources from a militia force aiding the Syrian army, the latter again neutralized a bomb-laden car complete with a suicide bomber who targeted the army's positions in the city. ISIS also used snipers in that attack, causing casualties among the members of the militia.
An offensive to take control over ISIS' main pipeline in the eastern Hama region was launched by the Syrian army last week. The army quickly managed to capture several sites along the pipeline that passes through the Al-Raqqa governorate then. The long-term goal at the time was to regain full control of the pipeline, which is a significant revenue channel for ISIS.
The region where the fighting is going on is referred to as "the triangle of death", with non-stop combat, in which no side has so far come out as a clear winner.

Russian photographer Alexey Klijatov has been capturing images of snowflakes on his balcony through an ingenious method, armed with nothing more than a Canon A650, a flipped around Russian 58mm lens, and a LED light. The details are so sharp that you can see the fractal composition. "I capture snowflakes at open balcony of my house, mostly on glass surface, lighted by LED flashlight from opposite side of glass, and sometimes in natural light, using dark woolen fabrics as background." Take a look at these mind blowing macro photos!


The computer industry has hit a milestone, with PCs in half of all homes, while use of online services has jumped to 33 percent, surveys show.
Three new studies have discovered something that is not altogether shocking: The number of U.S. homes with personal computers accessing the Internet is at an all-time high.
The new studies also point out that the industry has hit a milestone. Now, half of U.S. homes have a PC, an increase largely due to low-cost machines, better connections, and a desire to log onto the Internet.
Yesterday, the Homefront survey from consumer technology market research firm Odyssey concluded that the home computer is rapidly eclipsing the television as the communication and information appliance for many consumers.
Evidence of this trend is the growing number of homes equipped with powerful computers, fast modems, and online service providers, according to Nick Donatiello, president of Odyssey. The study found that half of all U.S. homes have a PC, and that one-third of all homes are online.
Power and speed are key: Almost half of home PCs are running on Pentium-level processors, the survey found, while 31 percent are connecting to the Internet at modem speeds of 56-kbps. "Faster modem connections and more powerful processors have enhanced the overall entertainment experience of PC households," Donatiello said, in a statement.
"These advancements, together with reduced prices, have made the PC attractive to a broader range of consumer segments."
A separate survey released this week indicates that sub-$600 PCs now account for 19.9 percent of computers sold through retail stores, while computers priced between $600 and $1,000 account for 42 percent of the market.
Low-cost PC maker Emachines has aggressively targeted the low-end of the consumer market, going after lower-income homes with no existing computers. That strategy has paid off, as Emachines shot up to the fifth spot last month in retail sales, according to PC Data.
Overall PC penetration has almost doubled from 27 percent in 1994 to today's 50 percent penetration, according to the study, while Internet access from the home has increased from 6 percent in 1994 to 33 percent today.
These results echo a recent study from ZD Market Intelligence, which also determined that half of all U.S. homes now have PCs, up from 44.8 percent at the end of 1997. Dataquest also recently concluded that half of American homes have PCs, up from 27 percent in 1995.

Could it be a 'full buffer' issue? When I playback sound for the first time since OS boots, it lasts for about 15-20 mins. After I resume it lasts no more than 5 mins. When I resume for a third or forth time the playback lasts less than the previous one.
Apart from software drivers and Services, I'm also thinking of tweaking relevant Tasks or Reports.
UPDATE: after i tried everything I could think of, I re-installed Windows 7. Same thing, problem remains. Sound seems to be played normally (example the visualization is active dpeneding on the software player) but no sound is heard via speakers, until i press vol up, vol down or mic mute buttons. Ive been thinking of downgrading BIOS version... This seems to be an issue that any user will face. Is this a support forum or what? Does any one from Lenovo read these posts, or am I just wasting my time?
As I said, I have read numerous post from this site and others on this problem and never found a solution. Spent months messing with laptop trying to solve problem and nothing worked. Never have seen a Lenovo come up with a solution. Using clip on speaker, GoGroove, and am getting wonderful sound. Usually only need it on 2 to hear audio where laptop speakers needed to be max to hear anything and if environment had noise would have to use headphone. I really don't think you are going to find a solution here. Had a T23 for years with everything working when I updated. What a difference in quality.
TBH, it sounds like an extremely bizarre hardware defect.
Shot in the dark: Maybe the keyboard is falsely sending a mute key?
Thanks for the suggestion, but I dont think its a Keyboard thing. Sound mutes when no key is pressed during the playback. the 2 buttons for mute are also working fine as they lit when they' re active. Also I believe that the electronics are inside the keyboard not behind it. I 've been thinking that the sound chip needs replacement. However does anyone know if its glued to the mainboard? Is there a diagnostic tool for this chip only?
I've had the same problem surface with my T410 after two years of normal operation. I'm an IT tech and I thought I'd sort out this problem quickly. It wasn't to be. I've also done all of the obvious things and installed and reinstalled to no avail.
What I have found is interesting though.
I, like others, noticed that if I press the up / down volume buttons or click on the volume slider on the speaker icon, the audio is temporarily restored. After a while, the audio disappears until you repeat the process. The audio then returns and eventually dies again. The audio lasts for less and less in duration each time until you can't click fast enough to keep the audio going.
If you plug a set of headphones into the audio socket and pull them out, the delay period 'resets' and you get about 30 seconds of audio again before it'll cut out. As you listen to more audio, it lasts less and less again until you're clicking repeatedly on the volume or pressing buttons to keep it going again.
Then I plug the headphones in - and it all resets to about 30 seconds of audio again.
This is remincsent of a capacitor charging/discharging issue.
If you keep the headphones plugged into the audio socket, the audio through them does not fail like it does on the internal speakers.
It seems to me that what's happening is this. There is a hardware component (probably a capacitor) which couples the audio output to the headphone socket and this circuit is also sensed by other hardware to determine whether there is anything plugged into the headphone socket.
My guess is that the capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor and like in many other situations, bad batches of some of these capacitors (particlulary SMD Electrolytics) become high ESR... meaning that they eventually fail.
When they do fail, they will not be able to remain low enough impedance to keep the sensing circuit functioning, and this messes up the logic by which the audio output is redirected via software.
This is the only scenario that I can think of which would explain what I'm observing.
I've read that people have formatted drives and re-installed Windows 7 or upgraded to Windows 8 and found the same problem remains. This can't be a driver / hardware issue unless the same drivers are used for both OS's. I've also read that Linux Users are also experiencing the same issues. If that's true, then software / hardware bugs are definitely out of contention.
My guess is that it's a hardware (probably high ESR electrolytic SMD capacitor) issue and that's why we're not getting anyone with any authority confirming the fact or coming up with solutions.
If I'm correct, there's no fix other than to find and replace the faulty capacitor, or as a workaround, use external speakers.
I've also plugged in a small FM Transmitter (the ones that you plug into an iPod speaker socket and transmit the music to your car FM radio) into the T410 audio socket and listened to the output on an FM Radio. The audio doesn't cut out at all using that configuration either.
If what you say is true, you can bypass the sensing logic in software (at least in Windows).
Search for SmartAudio. Somewhere in there is a multi-stream option. If you enable that, it will present the speakers and headphone output as two separate devices. You'll lose auto-switching, though.
Any updates on this? Same thing happen for me now on a T410.

University of Texas Professor Quits Over Concealed Carry Law
By Maya Rhodan
October 8, 2015 8:38 PM EDT
An esteemed economics professor at the University of Texas at Austin resigned in the wake of a new open carry law that could allow people to have concealed weapons in college buildings.
The law's supporters argue it will help protect students and faculty in the event of a shooting. But, Daniel Hamermesh, who is the Sue Killam Professor Emeritus, wrote in a letter to University President Greg Fenves that the law enhanced the "risk that a disgruntled student might bring a gun into the classroom."
"The issue is not people like me, I'm small potatoes, the real issue is that for Texas, for people who are thinking about coming here, they have lots of alternatives. The ones we want to hire here do have alternatives," he wrote in the letter, which was published by Texas's KXAN.
The law goes into effect Aug. 1, 2016 and would allow licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons into classrooms and university buildings.
According to his bio, Hamermesh taught at the University of Texas from 1993 until 2014 when he retired. He was set to teach a course every fall until 2017, but given the change in the law he's decided not to maintain the contract.
In a letter to the President, Hamermesh explained that he'll be spending some of next fall at the University of Sydney where "the risk seems lower."
Hamermesh added that he cannot believe he's "the only potential or current faculty member who is aware of and disturbed by this heightened risk" and urged the school to take additional steps to mitigate risks that could be associated with the law.
According to the UT campus newspaper The Daily Texan, the university is working on how to effectively implement the law on campus
"We understand the concerns that Dr. Hamermesh and other faculty members have raised about their classroom and ask that the campus community continue to work with University leadership in developing policies for implementing this new state law," a University Spokesperson Gary Susswein told the paper.

Home/LifeStyle/Hot Science Fiction Comics to Check out this Year
magazinemodule Send an email 1 week ago
Comic books have seen a huge surge in popularity in recent decades. From cinema to television, superheroes and sci-fi concepts originally found on the page of colorful comics are now found everywhere. If you're someone who enjoys reading new and interesting tales that will tickle your imagination, you may want to take a look at some of the hottest comic books currently flying off the shelves of local shops. If you're a fan of far-flung adventures in space and post-apocalyptic survival stories, then these options will definitely appeal to your sensibilities.
Since 2012, Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples have collaborated on one of the most inventive and captivating comic books of the last few decades. "Saga" is called an epic space opera, telling the story of two lovers from separate warring planets and the child they conceive together. Spanning years and countless galaxies, the characters and concepts introduced during this fantasy series are some of the most memorable you are bound to encounter. The series takes regular hiatuses so the creators can recharge, with the newest installment of the series ready to launch in the near future.
Most comic book fans are familiar with the work of Geoff Johns. Responsible for creating some of the most groundbreaking stories for big publishers like DC Comics, Johns has also put out some engaging work through Image Comics in recent years. "Geiger" is his current project, telling a story about a society that is recovering from the fallout of nuclear war. The survival tale is one that many people are familiar with, but the new angles and unique characters help to take this classic trope to new levels.
Far Sector
Though DC Comics has released countless science-fiction comics since the company first came about in 1934, many consumers know the publisher for superhero stories. "Far Sector" by N. K. Jemisin and J. Campbell combines both concepts, telling the tale of a new Green Lantern as she tries to navigate the complicated intricacies of intergalactic interactions. The series is now complete, meaning it has been collected in an easy-to-read graphic novel that covers the whole story. A great fit for anyone who enjoys science fiction, superheroes, or stories from emerging creative teams.
Whether you're someone who enjoys tales of adventure set on distant worlds or stories about alternate futures set on our own planet, there are all kinds of fascinating comics worth checking out. Take a look at what's on the shelves of your local comic shop and find the perfect addition for your reading list.

Mighty Apollo is known by all as the god of the sun, but there's more to this Olympian than a bright smile and a shining chariot. In the latest volume of Olympians, New York Times bestselling author George O'Connor continues to turn his extensive knowledge of the original Greek myths into rip-roaring graphic novel storytelling. This title has Common Core connections.
"Mighty Apollo is known by all as the god of the sun, but there's more to this Olympian than a bright smile and a shining chariot"--Provided by publisher.
Twelve dimensions of human emotion and behavior revealed through the ancient gods, such as Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Demeter, Hestia, and Hermes.
Of all the lyric poets of ancient Greece, Pindar is the one whose work has been best preserved. His odes to victorious Greek athletes were entertainments designed for performance in a hospitable atmosphere of drinking, dining and jokes. The victor has known the favour of the god whose contest he entered, and has brought back pan-Hellenic fame to his family, friends and city. To extend this glory and make it permanent, he has commissioned a song of praise, had dancers trained to sing it, and summoned an audience of kinsmen, neighbours and friends to enjoy it. Pindar's odes contain invocations and prayers, but their most characteristic effects are achieved thhrough the depiction of fragments of myth. Anne Pippin Burnett argues that these passages were meant neither as mere decoration nor as moral instruction, but served rather as a dramatic mechanism by which dancers brought an experience of another world to guests gathered in the banqueting suite of the victor.
From one of today's foremost scholars, a lively retelling of the timeless tales… Here are the myths that have influenced so much of our cultural heritage. Such age-old stories as the tragic love of Orpheus and Eurydice or Demeter's loss of her daughter, Persephone, resonate strongly with readers even today. In this book the rousing adventures of the heroes Herakles, Theseus, and Perseus are intertwined with the tragedies of immortal Prometheus and mortal Oedipus, the amorous escapades of Zeus, the trickery of Hermes, and the ecstasy of Dionysus. In-depth introductions to each section deepen your understanding of the myths—and heighten your reading pleasure. Presented in simple yet elegant prose, these tales emerge in brilliant new life. From the creation battle of the gods and Titans to Odysseus' return home from the Trojan War, this indispensable volume contains fifty-six legendary stories—handed down from generations past—that will continue to captivate readers for generations to come.

Q: Using properties of limits, calculate $\lim_{n\to \infty}\left(\frac1{n^2}+\frac1{(n+1)^2}+\cdots+\frac1{(2n)^2}\right)$ Using the properties of limits, calculate the following limits, if they exist. If not, prove they do not exist:
$$\lim_{n\to \infty}\left(\frac1{n^2}+\frac1{(n+1)^2}+\frac1{(n+2)^2}+\cdots+\frac1{(2n)^2}\right)$$
This is what I have done, I have expressed the limit in the form:
$\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac1{(n+a)^2}$ where 'a' belongs to the reals.
Then using the $\epsilon-N$ definition of limits, I assumed that:
$$\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac1{(n+a)^2}=0$$ and carried forward with the proof. I would like to use the $\epsilon-N$ definition of limits since it is what we are covering right now, is this the right way of solving this problem?

A: Use these inequalities
$$0\le\frac1{n^2}+\frac1{(n+1)^2}+\frac1{(n+2)^2}+...+\frac1{(2n)^2}\le \frac1n$$
to conclude the desired result.

A: Hint
$$...=\sum_{k=n}^{2n}\frac{1}{k^2}\leq \frac{n}{n^2}\underset{n\to \infty }{\longrightarrow } 0$$

A: Let F(n): $$\frac{1}{n^2}+\frac{1}{(n+1)^2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{(2n)^2}$$
Consider two series:
 $$G(n): \frac{1}{n^2}+\frac{1}{n^2}+\frac{1}{n^2}+\cdots +\frac{1}{n^2}$$
and
$$H(n):\frac{1}{(2n)^2}+\frac{1}{(2n)^2}+\frac{1}{(2n)^2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{(2n)^2}$$
Notice that
$$H(n)<F(n)<G(n)$$
Now, $$\lim_{n \to \infty} G(n) = \lim_{n \to \infty} H(n)=0$$
Hence, by the sandwich theorem, the given limit becomes $0$

A: $\sum_{n\in N}1/n^2$ converges. Therefore $$\lim_{m\to \infty}\sup_{n\geq m} \sum_{j=n}^{j =2 n}(1/n^2)\leq \lim_{m\to \infty}\sup_{n' \geq n\geq m}\sum_{j=n}^{j=n'}(1/n^2)=0.$$
In general if $\sum_{n\in N} a_n$ converges then $\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum _{j=n}^{j=2 n}a_j=0.$
The most elementary way to prove that $\sum_n (1/n^2)$ converges is that for $n>1$ we have $1/n^2<1/n(n-1)=1/(n-1)-1/n$, so for $n>1$ we have
 $$\sum_{j=1}^n(1/n^2)=1+\sum_{j=2}^n(1/n^2)<1+\sum_{j=2}^n[1/(j-1)-1/j]=2-1/n.$$

NCISAA 3A State Championships Preview
NCISAA State XC Championships
Boys Preview
Girls Preview
Carolina Day girls have won the last four NCISAA 2A Team Titles and along with a lot of old 2A teams they've made the move up to 3A in the realignment. Despite the addition of some larger schools this Carolina Day girls team might be the most dominant we've seen at the state championships.
Heading into the meet on Ryann Aycock (Cary Christian School) has run faster than Carolina Day's 6th girl. Aycock is the only girl that has broke 19 minutes this season and will come in as a favorite for the 3A Individual title despite only being in 8th grade. Aycock took 11th in the 2A State Championships last year and has certainly taken her talent to the next level over the last year.
This will not be an easy win for Aycock as she'll face off against Olivia Sutter (Carolina Day) who has run 19:11 this season. Sutter is a swimmer who also excels in track and cross country with PRs of 18:42, and 5:15 and 11:14 on the track. She was the state champion in the 3200 last year for the NCISAA 1A/2A and placed 3rd in 2A back in 2016 XC. We should expect the best day yet from Sutter tomorrow who always seems to peak at the right time.
The battle behind the top 2 looks to be tight. Carolina Day has just a 9 second spread amongst their 2nd through 5th runner on the season ranging from 19:50 to 19:59. Ella Dockendorf was 2nd in 2A a year ago and the junior is currently their #2 girl. They'll have senior Ellen Weaver, freshman Erin Hovendon, 7th grader Abby Smith nc and freshman Katie Rudins all fighting for a top spot tomorrow.
Zoe Vestal (Cary Christian) looks to be their biggest competition to fight for a top 3 spots with a seasons best of 20:08. Vestal ran 19:30 last year and took 7th place in the NCISAA 2A field. 7th grade Holly Lanter will make her first appearance at the NCISAA State Championships coming in with a seasons best of 20:15. She holds a seasons best of 20:15 and has steadily improved throughout the 2018 season. Asheville School's Grace Ellis and Lia Sprouse will also make a run at a top 10 spot tomorrow.
Carolina Day will be heavy favorites, but we should see an intense team battle for second between Asheville School, Asheville Christian and Cary Christian. Asheville School was able to edge Asheville Christian at the CAA Championship last weekend and will have a good rematch tomorrow. ACA has two girls that could place ahead of Asheville School's #1, but Asheville School has strong depth through 5 with a 44 second gap and a 20:42 team average. With Aycock and Vestal up front it'll put Cary Christian into the mix, but they are going to need a big day from their 3 through 5 to make up the gap on the two Asheville schools. Their current 2 to 3 gap is over 2 minutes heading into the meet. If that gap closes tomorrow they'll be able to make up a lot of points quickly in hopes for a podium finish.
The boys individual battle might be the best of the day with five boys in contention for the individual crown in Matthew Fowler (Concord First Assembly), Harrison Oswald (Carolina Day), Reece Collie (ACA), Daniel Similton (Hickory Grove) and Will Scott (FCDS). Fowler and Oswald will head in as two of the favorites with the fastest seasons best of 16:04 and 16:10 respectively. Collie holds a seasons best of 16:23 and Similton 16:24.
Fowler is coming off a win at the MAC Championships and looks to improve on his 2A runner up finish last cross country season. Earlier in the season he ran 16:53 on this Jackson Park course, but has shown a big improvement since then as he looks to win his first NCISAA State Title as a senior.
Oswald impressed a few weeks ago at Great American where his 16:10 PR comes from. He took 3rd at the CAA Championships last week and was the first 3A finisher in the field ahead of Collie in 4th. Last year he was 4th overall in 2A, but has put together a very consistent season as he looks to contend for the individual crown tomorrow.
Collie was a state champion on the track last year as a sophomore in the 1600m with a seasons best of 4:26. He ran 17:15 at the NCISAA State Championship last fall taking 9th in 2A and will look for more this weekend after putting together a strong cross country campaign.
Similton finished behind Fowler at the MAC Championships and has been under 17 minutes four times this fall. His best came at the Jungle Run earlier in the year. He was 30th in 3A a year ago, but will contend for a top 5 finish this fall.
Will Scott will be a guy to look out for despite having the fifth fastest season best on the year of 16:42. He won the PTAC Conference Championship last week and has a PR of 16:19 from a year ago. Scott was 10th as a freshman in 3A last year and proved to be one of the better freshman boys in North Carolina. We could see a big peak from him tomorrow.
Asheville Christian has a strong team that will look to defend after winning in 2A last year. This is a young team with no seniors, but they return a lot of experience only losing one of their top 7 boys from last year. Reece Collie and Jax Ledford will look to lead ACA tomorrow with top 10 finishes. On the year they hold an average of 17:27 with a 1:46 second gap.
Coastal Christian and Forsyth Country Day look to be in the running as well both with an athlete who has top 5 potential in Nicholas Scrocco and Will Scott. Coastal Christian is pretty even with ACA through 4, but their 5 will need to have a big day in order to close the gap. FCDS has four guys pretty close together from 4 through 7, and their key tomorrow will be to close the gap from 3 to 4.
Carolina Day and Asheville School are also podium contenders behind a big day tomorrow.
The 2A boys race is has always been a wild one with close team scores. I expect nothing less as most of the schools transition up to the 3A ranks.

The Federal Trade Commission announced the agenda for the fifth session of hearings which will examine vertical merger analysis and the role of the consumer welfare standard in U.S. antitrust law.
The Commission has invited public comment on issues such as whether the U.S. antitrust agencies should publish vertical merger guidelines. What guidance should they provide regarding the assessment of the competitive effects of vertical mergers, including the substantive theories of competitive harm and the treatment of transaction-related efficiencies? Under what conditions, if any, should the guidelines recognize a presumption of anticompetitive harm? What showing should be required to overcome such a presumption? Under what circumstances, if any, should behavioral remedies be accepted to remedy the likely anticompetitive effects of vertical mergers?
The FTC is also soliciting comments regarding the appropriate "consumer welfare standard" for evaluating compliance with the antitrust laws. What are alternative frameworks with which to evaluate compliance with the antitrust laws? What are their relative strengths and weaknesses? Is there empirical support for preferring one standard instead of another standard?
Additional sessions of the FTC Hearings initiative are anticipated to include such topics as innovation and intellectual property policy, privacy and big data, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics.


I cannot remember the last time I made stuffed peppers….probably because our grill has been in full force since about April…however I got a craving for them and since they fit perfectly into my PIYO meal plan I figured I'd toss it in as part of WEEK 7.
Freeze any remaining stuffing or save for leftovers later in the week!
These will also reheat well – we ended up with two dinners and I had one lunch out of this batch!
Note: My next batch was added into some slightly spicy banana peppers – and they were AMAZING! If you like a little kick try these for sure!
What are the colors for 21 day fix per pepper?
I made these while doing the PIYO meal plan which doesn't exactly line up to the 21 day fix container but big picture you want to consider what you're eating. The diced tomatoes and pepper would give you ONE green. The filling would be one yellow (black beans, corn and quinoa) and one red (turkey). The cheese used would contribute towards a blue – depending on how much you use on each pepper!


We needed our roof replaced as it was over 15 years old and Steven came highly recommended in the area. We are very happy with the end result and have had compliments from neighbours whom we've referred to this company since. Great experience! – Nate A.
I'm glad I found these guys – they replaced our roof and we saved money – our neighbours are complimenting us on the work! – Ivan G.
It was time to look at replacing our roof and we were recommended to Pacific West Roofing from a friend who had gotten theirs replaced 2 years back and were happy. We were impressed with the quality work and it came under budget which was a welcome surprise. Now we recommend Pacific West Roofing as well! – Ron F.
It was time to replace our roof of 15+ years and Steven did a great job with his crew. They cleaned up really nicely too, no junk all over the yard and we've had the neighbors comment how nice the new roof looks – I tell them to call Pacific West! – Don H.
Fixed What The Previous Guys Couldn't! – I called Pacific West Roofing & Exteriors when I had some work done by a very popular local roofing company and discovered afterwards that I still had an attic leak. Pacific West came out and was able to discover a host of problems using their awesome infrared camera that the other guys didn't have any idea about. They fixed everything perfectly, and no more leaks. Highly recommend these guys. – Tammy G.
I am pleased to refer Pacific West Roofing & Exteriors for roofing replacements, roof repairs and troubleshooting of general building issues. For approximately the last ten years, I have been using their roofing and maintenance services and am very happy with the prompt attention and follow through. I am always treated honestly, with respect, and know that I'm dealing with the right contractors who get the job done right the first time. I've never had to call them back to re-do any of their work.
Thank you for a great roofing job. We are really happy with the professionalism and workmanship you provided. We would recommend your company to everyone.

South Africa's Born Free generation
Photojournalism, Politics & Power, Race & Representation
The Born Free Generation - Ilvy NjiokiktjienIn 2019 South Africa will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Nelson Mandela becoming president and his nation becoming a free democratic country. Over ten years ago I started working on a project about South Africa's youth, specifically on the 'born free generation'. These are the children born in the years right after apartheid was abolished and Nelson Mandela became president. They are now young adults. They are Mandela's human legacy: the first generation in which every South African has the same opportunities and racial segregation, on paper, is a thing of the past. They were to be the face of a new, free, and successful South Africa. Nelson Mandela always had a big heart for the youth, and would often refer to his dreams for the youth in his speeches.

he Kommandokorps organization, though small and not familiar to many in South Africa, claims to have trained more than 1,500 young Afrikaners in defense skills over the past 11 years. On its website, the Kommandokorps describes itself as an elite organization, 'protecting its own people' in the event of an attack, necessary 'because the police and the military cannot provide help quickly enough'. © Ilvy Njiokiktjien, VII Photo Agency

Twenty five years have passed since Nelson Mandela became president and apartheid was officially abolished. Ilvy Njiokiktjien's decade-long project documents the opportunities and challenges faced by the children of the "rainbow nation"
Up until the early 1990s, the rights of people in South Africa were determined by the colour of their skin. Cities were segregated grids, where "Blacks" and "Coloureds" were required to carry legal documentation in "White" areas. Schools, workplaces and public toilets were also divided by race.
Twenty five years have passed since Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as the first black president of South Africa on 10 May 1994, and since apartheid was officially abolished. The first children born during this revolutionary period, known as the born-frees, are now coming-of-age. These young adults have been raised freely to live wherever and love whoever they wanted; they were the shining beacons of Mandela's dreams of a "rainbow nation".
But today, as the country votes for their sixth president since Mandela, it has become apparent that crime, poverty and corruption are still keeping many of the born-frees captive.
"Young people are disillusioned," says photojournalist Ilvy Njiokiktjien, who has been covering South Africa for over a decade. "The atmosphere in the country is changing. When I lived there in 2004, 10 years since Mandela became president, everyone was cheerful. When I went back a few years later, I noticed the difference."
Born Free – Mandela's Generation of Hope is Njiokiktjien's "project of a lifetime". Now an exhibition, photobook, an hour long documentary broadcasted on Dutch television, and a series of short films, the project combines a decade's worth of stories about the born-free generation.
Njiokiktjien was born and raised in the Netherlands, and first went to South Africa to study in 2004. In 2007 she returned to work as an intern at South Africa's national newspaper The Star, and later on returned to work as a freelance photographer, publishing stories for The New York Times, Der Spiegel and The Telegraph, among others. It was during this time that she became interested in youth culture, and started keeping these photographs in a separate file. "I thought one day, I'll gather all of these photographs and make a separate project about youth."
Over ten years, Njiokiktjien travelled to South Africa whenever she could, photographing the life of the black youth in Khayelitsha, and homelessness in Durban, where many women and children live on the street. She photographed Mandela's funeral in 2013, followed the National Youth Orchestra on tour in Cape Town, and visited many of the previously segregated neighbourhoods. Some of the images, like her 2011 story about Kommandokorps – an extreme right-wing racist camp where teenagers are taught how to combat a perceived black enemy – were published by the press at the time, but her stories are all personally initiated.
"To me it always seemed like a happy story," says Njiokiktjien, recalling her earlier days of covering youth in South Africa. "But in recent years, particularly with the corruption in the last government, I realised I needed to start looking further into what was going wrong."
According to The World Bank, South Africa is the most economically unequal country in the world. Apartheid has ended, but the effects of it endure. Statistically many black South Africans are still at a disadvantage, with fewer employment opportunities and lower wages than white people in the country.
Njiokiktjien adds that though segregation has ended, South Africa is still far from being fully integrated. Schools and universities are mixed, but neighbourhoods still tend to be populated by certain racial groups, and according to Njiokiktjien, interracial couples are uncommon.
South Africa also has the highest youth unemployment rate in the world. 52.7 percent of people aged 15-24 were unemployed in 2018, with many unable to get steady jobs even after completing a university degree.
"People were blinded by Mandela," says Njiokiktjien, "There were so many good plans being made in the five years that Mandela was president. But then people started realising 'oh shit, I still don't have a job,' or 'my house still doesn't have electricity'."
But among these stories of challenge and resilience are also stories of progression. South Africa is the only African country where gay marriage is legal, and last year Njiokiktjien photographed the LGBTQ pride parade, where many of her subjects felt positive about the changes in public attitudes towards homosexuality.
Over her decade of working on these stories, Njiokiktjien was consistently impressed by the resilience of the youth she photographed. "These people are not being spoon-fed, nothing is easy for them. Their struggle is so much bigger but they don't give up, they just keep fighting," she says, "their dreams are all the same dreams that we have: to be safe, to be loved, to have a home."
In addition to the photographs and a series of short films, Njiokiktjien has self-published a photobook. The book folds out to double its size, revealing 35 standalone portraits from the series. "I wanted the images to speak for themselves," says Njiokiktjien, "it is like looking into their eyes, which is where we connect."
Njiokiktjien recalls speaking to one book-maker in South Africa, who, after telling him the project would be called Born Free, said, "Born Free? We should call it called Break Free. Our generation, we're not born free, we're born in shit and we're breaking free."
Born Free – Mandela's Generation of Hope will be exhibited at the Museum Hilversum in the Netherlands until 16 June 2019. The photobook is available to pre-order for €25.

Juan Orrantia's vibrant and intimate experience of Johannesburg
Marigold Warner 18 August 2020


When people live on or near a hillside, they know that a heavy rainfall can easily take the hill and wash it out. The problem with this is when the hill is washed out, it can easily take the home with it. To solve this problem a lot of people have started to install retaining walls to prevent the dirt from washing out. However, people need to make sure they know the benefits of using timber for retaining walls, instead of using anything else to keep the dirt in place.
Timber has been around for years and has withstood the test of time. Yes, the timber can start to break down over time, it is going to last for a long period of time. So people are able to have a great look they want to have and not have to be concerned about their wall they have built breaking down quickly. Instead, people will have an easier time in getting the wall installed and know it will only need to be installed once or twice.
Different aesthetics that are present with the timber walls versus a metal or concrete wall is something else which people will enjoy. With most of the retaining walls people see, they will notice they are going to look the exact same and is not going to look any different. However, with the timber walls they will be looking completely different than what people think and this allows people to enjoy the great look.
Allows for the release of some of the water in a controlled and natural manner. With a lot of the concrete or steel walls, they have to get drains installed in them and this can detract from the great look that people want to have with the retaining wall. However, with the wood walls, they are going to have a natural ability to allow the water to flow down and out, without causing any major problems.
As many people have found out, living on the top of a hill can be exciting, but it also can be dangerous because the hill may wash out over time in a heavy rain fall. This is when people should know the benefits of using timber for retaining walls. By knowing about these benefits, it is going to be easy for people to have a great time in getting the retaining wall they need installed.

Mr Leung's application for leave to appeal to the CFA is dismissed. Mr Leung must now take a short-cut, so to speak, and go directly to the CFA, where more people in wigs may hear his plea that male and female prisoners should have the same rule on haircuts. Amazingly, neither side seems to have mentioned that the UK removed the different treatment by 1999, as we reported last year in "Justice is blind, except for haircuts".

The goal of speech perception is understanding a speaker's message. To achieve this, listeners must recognize the words that comprise a spoken utterance. This in turn implies distinguishing these words from other minimally different words (e.g., word from bird, etc.), and this involves making phonemic distinctions. The article summarizes research on the perception of phonemic distinctions, on how listeners cope with the continuity and variability of speech signals, and on how phonemic information is mapped onto the representations of words. Particular attention is paid to theories of speech perception and word recognition.
