For our fellow aviation enthusiasts, here's a long zoom pic of a venerable aircraft. This Lockheed P-2 Neptune (appropriately operated by Neptune Aviation Services of Missoula), tail number N807NA (sn.131424), zipped past us near Lake Shasta powered by a pair of R3350-32WA radial engines (jets apparently removed) on the way to a fire. At this distance in the smoke we'd probably have missed it, but ATC let us know to look.
I'm especially curious about the life story of this plane, given the extensive action reports on this WWII era designed and many deployments including the Korean, Vietnam and Falklands Wars as described in the Neptune wiki. This type also held the un-refueled piston-engine long distance record from 1946 until 1986.

Etihad Rail, FAB sign Dhs1.990 billion deal for passenger transport services
Etihad Rail's passenger services will be the first of its kind, connecting the cities and regions of the UAE. File/WAM
Sheikh Theyab Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince's Court and Chairman of Etihad Rail, and Sheikh Mohamed Bin Saif Bin Mohamed Al Nahyan, Vice Chairman of FAB's Board of Directors, on Thursday witnessed the signing of an agreement between Etihad Rail and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) for financing railway passenger transport services, with a total value of Dhs1.990 billion.
The agreement comes as part of the UAE National Railways Programme, the largest land transport system of its kind in the UAE, where First Abu Dhabi Bank will be the Certified Lead Arranger for the loan, as part of the agreement.
The signing ceremony was attended by Dr Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology; Mohamed Hadi Al Hussaini, Minister of State for Financial Affairs; Jassim Al Zaabi, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Finance; Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Member of the Board of Directors of Etihad Rail and Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai; as well as members of Etihad Rail's Board of Directors, the Board of Directors of FAB, and a number of officials from the Ministry of Finance and The Department of Finance in Abu Dhabi.
The agreement was signed by Shadi Malak, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Rail, and Hana Al Rostamani, Group Chief Executive Officer at First Abu Dhabi Bank.
On this occasion, Sheikh Theyab said, "Through this agreement with First Abu Dhabi Bank, we at Etihad Rail look forward to enhancing cooperation, uniting efforts, and working together towards realising the vision of the UAE in accordance with the goals of the UAE National Railways Programme, which was launched under the Projects of the 50 to establish the basis for a new stage of sustainable economic growth for the country."
For his part, Sheikh Mohamed bin Saif said, "As we look to the next 50 years of our nation's journey, the UAE continues to lead the region in setting a bold and progressive vision for the future. FAB is integral to that journey and committed to driving economic growth and improving the quality of life for citizens and residents. Through our support for the Etihad Rail project, we are reinforcing the UAE's position as a global and regional transport and logistics hub, leveraging our strategic geographic location to improve and reinforce our links with the rest of the world." Etihad Rail's passenger services will be the first of its kind, connecting the cities and regions of the UAE. The project is one of the three strategic projects of the National Railways Programme, which was launched by the UAE government in December 2021. The Programme forms the largest land transport system in the UAE, which is set to outline the future of the railway sector in the coming years, in addition to providing freight rail and integrated transportation services.
Shadi Malak commented, "Through this agreement, we will move full steam ahead with our mission to provide passenger railway services, which will bolster public transport system in the UAE and the wider region. Etihad Rail is an essential component of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) rail network, and this agreement brings us one step closer towards realising our strategic goals of strengthening the UAE's reputation as a regional and global transport hub."
Hana Al Rostamani said, "Etihad Rail is proof of the sense of vision and purpose that makes the UAE distinct. By connecting the United Arab Emirates through a fully integrated rail network, Etihad Rail will bring significant economic and social benefits to the businesses and communities it serves, empowering future growth and providing opportunities for all. FAB is proud to support Etihad Rail in fulfilling this important project which will drive forward economic development for our nation." With the launch of the railway passenger services, the passenger trains will strengthen connectivity between the UAE by connecting 11 cities and locations in the country from Al Sila to Fujairah. Travelling at a speed of 200km per hour, with a capacity of 400 passengers per train, the number of passengers is expected to increase to reach more than 36.5 million passengers annually across the country by 2030. Passengers will be able to commute between Abu Dhabi to Dubai in only 50 minutes, between Abu Dhabi and Fujairah in only 100 minutes, between Dubai and Fujairah in only 50 minutes, and between Abu Dhabi and Al Ruwais in only 70 minutes.
Etihad Rail is forging ahead towards completing Stage Two of the UAE National Rail Network. Stage One of the Network has been operational since 2016. The project is progressing at an accelerated pace with 70 per cent of the project being completed in less than 24 months, despite the challenges of the pandemic. Etihad Rail has cooperated with 180 entities and issued more than 40 thousand official papers.

Jakarta | Java Part 1
Hello Indonesia! This is the final country on my crazy 9 week long summer trip, before I eventually fly home. I'll be here for about two and a half weeks, travelling through Java and Bali, starting with the second half of my Intrepid group trip, before I spend a few extra days in Bali on my own at the end. I flew from Singapore, after finishing the first half of the trip there, arriving in Jakarta just an hour and a half later, then catching a taxi to the hotel; public transport isn't very good in Indonesia apparently! I did have a few hours to spare that afternoon, but I was feeling pretty exhausted - especially after how busy we were in Singapore! - and Jakarta is a big city, so there wasn't too much close to the hotel, so I just stayed in and relaxed instead. That evening we had the welcome meeting for this half of the trip, and there are five of us in this group - after just four on the first half, these have been my smallest Intrepid groups so far! We had dinner together too, and our tour leader took us to Sabang Street, to eat some local Indonesian food. I've already noticed that fired rice, fried noodles, and sate skewers are pretty much staples on every menu, and I've tried all of them so far - that first night was chicken sate (which is the same as satay by the way!) for me.
The next morning, we had a tour of the city as an included activity, which took up the whole morning and into the afternoon. Our first stop was Candra Naya, a traditional Chinese style house, once home to the Khouw family, and was constructed in the 19th century. It has an unusual location now, as it is surrounded by a complex of modern buildings; the house was once bigger, but several halls were demolished to make way for the new development, and the remaining halls were only conserved after vehement protests by heritage organisation. It's quite a simple structure inside, lacking furniture now, but it has many traditional elements, including the symmetrical design, curved roof, the dark wooden beams, and the water feature at the back, surrounded by golden frogs holding lucky coins in their mouths. It's certainly an unusual contrast to then look above the pavilion and see the glass windows of the modern buildings around it! We continued to explore Chinese heritage in the city by paying a visit to a local temple in Chinatown. I saw more than my fair share of these in Hong Kong, as well as in other parts of Asia, so it wasn't anything I haven't seen before really, but there were a lot of candles and lanterns to take pictures of! It's also quite interesting to see how Chinese culture remains so present in all these other cities and countries I've visited, and how the communities there continue to prosper. The smell of incense is also something that is now very familiar to me, and I've grown quite fond of it - I may have to start burning it myself when I go home! We walked through the Chinatown market too, a maze like collection of narrow street selling mainly fresh produce, some of it more familiar to us than other items! The local guide bought a few things for us to try along the way too, but I'm a terrible traveller and can't remember what they were called now... I really should start writing stuff down quicker. One was a starchy sort of substance, which apparently helps with digestion, but I found it very dry and flavourless; the other was a chocolate filled cake, which was much tastier.
We drove through the city again, motorbikes zooming past our van - I noticed many of them wearing Uber or Grab (a similar app) jackets, so you obviously get the choice of car or motorbike when you book one here! We drove until we reached the harbour, named Sunda Kelapa, which is the city's old harbour; not much trading happens through here now, since the newer Tanjung Priok port was built in the late 19th century. However, Sunda Kelapa dates back to as early as the 13th century, and was hugely important to Jakarta and the Sudanese kingdom, as well as to the Portugueses and Dutch during colonial times. Now, the harbour houses old wooden pinisi sailing ships, which ship things throughout the Indonesian islands. We walked up beside the boats a little way, taking a few photos, and listening to what the local guide had to tell us about the area, before hopping back in the van and continuing on our way. Our next stop was also a historic location, the Old Town area known as 'Little Amsterdam' or 'Little Holland', due to the Dutch colonial history of the region. We stopped in Fatahillah Square, a large open space filled with tourists cycling around on Dutch style bikes and flowery hats - we didn't join in for that! There are several notable buildings around the square, including the Jakarta History Museum, housed in what was once the city hall for Batavia (the Dutch name for the town), and the Wayang puppetry museum, housed in what was once a church. There is also a large cannon in the square, called Si Jagur, but also known as the Fertility Cannon, as the story goes that women struggling to get pregnant should come and sit on top of the cannon. Our guide also pointed out the last piece of the old train track, encased in glass in the ground, which he remembers when it was still running when he was a child. We had lunch in the square too, not in Cafe Batavia, which is a popular choice with visitors, but next door in Batavia Market instead, which I would recommend as a cheaper alternative to the cafe.
After lunch, our next stops were all religious in theme, starting with Istiqlal Mosque, the largest mosque in South East Asia. I didn't know before coming to Indonesia that the majority of the population is Muslim, but after being woken up at 4.30am both mornings in Jakarta, by the call to prayer blasting from the mosque next door, it's hard to forget now! Istiqlal means Independence, and was built in 1978 to commemorate Indonesia's independence. There are two domes visible from the outside, the larger one situated over the main prayer hall, which has multiple balconies up the sides, and can hold around 200,000 worshippers. We had to be covered up to enter, and even though I was wearing a t-shirt and long trousers, I still had to wear the robe to cover my arms all the way to my wrists, and the hood over my hair. We admired the prayer hall from one of the balconies, so as not to disturb the worshippers below, even though it wasn't one of the five prayer times in the day. The dome over the hall was even more impressive from the inside, as it is dazzlingly decorated in gold, and is supported by 12 huge silver coloured columns. We also got a good view of the National Monument nearby, from the windows near the balcony. After leaving the mosque, we crossed the road to visit Jakarta Cathedral, a Roman Catholic cathedral. Our local guide told us the two structures are very tolerant of each other, and work together whenever possible, proving that although Indonesia is predominantly Muslim, there is harmony between all religions here. Although I don't practice religion much, I was raised Christian, and after visiting so many other religious sites during my travels, returning to a church or cathedral does feel much more familiar to me, and I still have a stronger connection to Christianity than anything else. Jakarta Cathedral is very similar to most European cathedrals, with the pews, pulpit and holy water font, the pipe organ to one side, the colourful stained glass windows, and the tall spires visible from the outside. The only noticeable difference for me was the low cushioned platforms between the pews, which I eventually realised were for kneeling on (something I've never done in church, being Protestant). It was very still and quiet inside, except for the occasional bird flying through, as well as very beautiful.
The cathedral was our last stop of the tour, and we were then driven back to the hotel. We relaxed there for a couple of hours in the late afternoon, before heading out again for dinner. Our tour leader took us back to Sabang Street, but instead of eating inside a restaurant this time, we ate inside one o f the street food tents - one that was safe to eat from, he assured us, but suggested we avoid the seafood and fruit juices. We all had fried rice, or nasi goreng, as it is called here, accompanied by the rice prawn crackers that are very popular here, and played it safe by drinking water. Most of us returned to the hotel early too, as we had an early start in the morning, for our departure from Jakarta. Jakarta is a huge city, and I definitely didn't see everything it has to offer in the two nights I spent there (especially since I was exhausted and spent more time in the hotel than I probably should have). That said, it's also crowded and hectic and polluted, so I was ready to escape to quieter, more rural areas in the rest of Java. It's also more a city of business and commerce, than of tourism, and reminded me of many of the other large cities I've seen in South East Asia, such as Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, and Phnom Penh. I enjoyed learning what I did about the history and culture in Jakarta, as well as Indonesia in general, but I was also quite content to leave when we did; after all, Indonesia has more than enough other areas to explore, and I'm only seeing a handful on two of its numerous islands during this trip!

A weekend rally against a proposed housing project in Maple Ridge drew hundreds of protesters, highlighting tensions between the city and the province over the best way to tackle homelessness in the region.
And while B.C. has said it intends to go ahead with plans to build a low-barrier housing project – which means tenants would not be prohibited from using illicit drugs or alcohol on site – some residents say those plans ignore community concerns around safety and capacity of services, including police and ambulance providers.
"As a community, we feel like we are being left completely out of the conversation," Maple Ridge resident Wesley Mann said on Monday.
"It's our home, our neighbourhood, our children, our seniors ... we need to have a say," he added.
Mr. Mann, who spoke at the rally Saturday against the proposed housing project, is chair of Burnett Neighbours, a group that last year ran a protest campaign against a proposed housing project on Burnett Street. Council rejected that proposal in May, 2018.
That site is now back on the table after the province announced on March 20 that it would build 51 units of supportive housing on the property.
Hundreds of people, including Maple Ridge Mayor Mike Morden, attended a rally Saturday to protest the decision.
Mr. Morden's staff said on Monday that he was unavailable to comment.
The Maple Ridge housing project would be part of a provincewide housing program undertaken by the NDP government.
That program includes temporary modular housing projects that have staff and support services and are designed to provide housing for people who are homeless.
Opponents, including Mr. Mann, maintain Maple Ridge is currently providing more than its fair share of such facilities and that the province is being heavy-handed in imposing a low-barrier facility on the city when other types of housing, such as seniors' accommodation, is needed.
In response to such concerns, the province has compiled a list of shelter beds and "homeless units" – including new temporary modular housing and other projects funded by the province – by municipality.
The province says that, on a per capita basis, Maple Ridge has fewer shelter beds and housing units for people who are homeless than some other B.C. municipalities, including Vancouver, but is ahead of others, including nearby Mission and Abbotsford.
Burnaby, meanwhile, has no shelter beds at all.
The province, however, says it is building homes in response to need, not on a per-capita basis.
Homelessness has been a highly visible concern in Maple Ridge because of a tent encampment on city property. Known as Anita Place and set up nearly two years ago in May, 2017, the settlement is now under city supervision after the city obtained a court order that allowed it to enforce fire and safety violations at the camp.
After the order, provincial Housing Minister Selina Robinson directed Maple Ridge to come up with a housing plan. When she found the city's plan unacceptable, she said the province would move forward on its own.
"The issue of a lack of supportive housing in Maple Ridge has been going on for at least four years through two provincial governments and two municipal councils," ministry staff said in an e-mail.
According to a 2017 Homeless Count in Metro Vancouver, there were 124 homeless people in the area known as Ridge Meadows, which takes in Maple Ridge and neighbouring Pitt Meadows. That was up by 48 per cent over the survey three years previous, the province said.

I had followed the folder hierarchy and instructions from the Yii-booster site.
Not sure what is causing this blank page when I run a "testdrive" web app.

Engage supports Direct Line Group with unprecedented staff mobilisation
Engage Solutions Group (ESG) has announced details of another lockdown go-live. Less than a week after contract signing, insurance provider Direct Line Group (DLG) went live with ESG's employee app as a key part of its Covid-19 response.
The accelerated partner selection and delivery came as DLG moved quickly to manage the change of circumstances caused by the pandemic. DLG wanted to establish a communications channel to support its 11,000+ colleagues as they mobilised to work from home or continued to operate across the insurer's accident repair centres.
Jason Gowlett, DLG's Director of HR Operations explains: "We have always been very proud of our people and they have continued to step up to the plate, working with us to ensure we continue to provide the level of service our customers expect. With a proportion of people having no work email or work phone, the circumstances called for something more agile and focused than our existing technology as a core touchpoint.
"ESG allowed us to engage and communicate directly with our colleagues via smartphones, opening up a dedicated 'direct line' to keep them fully informed of developments, to make support available as needed, and to reassure them as we work through the changes that Covid-19 brings. Given we had some custom requirements, the speed of deployment was rapid, and ESG impressed us with their responsiveness and 'can do' attitude.
"Interestingly, while communications has been the initial driving force, the broader functionality within the app aligns very well with our ambitions pre-Covid to look at engagement and enrich the colleague experience further."
Phil Wedgwood, ESG's CEO comments: "DLG was exceptionally quick off the mark in adapting to the 'new normal'. The obvious priority was ensuring that staff were kept in the loop, but more than that it was about building a really strong connection between the 'middle' and newly distributed workforce. To get the app live in less than a week was a remarkable achievement by all concerned – and we're committed to one week go-lives for the foreseeable future so that customers can move quickly to support their workforces in this new socially distant world of ours."

Oh god I love this jacket so much, I will make another post with it soon, it's just so cool! A perfect Mikuta jacket.
This weekend has been so great, I've just been biking around Berlin, meeting friends, hanging in Tempelhof and danced at Club der Visionäre. Soon I'm off to Kreuzberg for a birthday party and tomorrow seriousness starts again :) I've been completely off this weekend, but thats what weekends are for, right?


Swiss maestro Roger Federer on Sunday came out with a ruthless performance as he defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets to win the men?s singles title of the Gerry Weber Open.
He will next face Karen Khachanov, who defeated Andrey Rublev 7-6 (8), 4-6, 6-3.
But, instead of serving out the set, the top seed was broken again and Khachanov even held two set points at 6-5 before the world No. 5 recovered and forced a tie-break.
While Federer enters Sunday's final without dropping a set, Zverev saw off French veteran Richard Gasquet 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the semi-final. Zverev meanwhile has been in the form of his career in 2017, having won three tournaments including his first Masters 1000 victory by beating Novak Djokovic in Rome.
He lost in the opening round of the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart last week to Tommy Haas but has looked much more impressive in Halle which is ominous for his rivals ahead of Wimbledon, which starts on July 3.
Italian Open champion Zverev had won all three of his previous finals this season, but was blown away by a vintage performance from the 18-time major champion in only 53 minutes.
" Marin has been playing unbelievable and is also a great grass-court player, so I think I have to play my best tennis if I want to win", he said.
A trademark forehand passing shot and a comfortable service game moved Federer to within a game of victory. I'm very happy for him, how he's developed in the last years.
Federer surprisingly donated serve once in each set, but a second break of his own allowed him to take the first and he was extended to a tiebreaker in the second.
"It's tough to play against a friend like Lucie", Kvitova said.
"I played against a right-hander from the baseline in Sugita, a left-hander who serves and volleys all time (Zverev) and Mayer plays very differently to everyone else". "I do not know if I will ever be going to win this tournament again so I will enjoy this one".

The Truth: A Jackass is a Jackass
RUSH: Newark, New Jersey, Alex, you're next, great to have you here, sir. Hello.
CALLER: Hey, Rush, big fan.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: Quickly, the first point is I really feel that this new Pledge to America is nothing like our 1994 edition of Contract with America. I feel it wasn't strong enough. It's not as specific. You know, there's a lot better — they were much more specific in 1994 and they didn't have all this 'we hate the Democrats,' you know, and it was much more like, 'We're gonna do stuff.' Second, I really feel that when the people were booing Bush and we were all screaming, the Republicans were all up and at it, you know, he's our president, there's a certain amount of respect by being our president that we'll show him no matter what he does, he could do anything and there's a certain amount of respect, and you getting on the air and calling our president a jackass is just — it's so not in cue with everything that we as Republicans, you know, and conservatives believe in, you know, that there's a certain amount of respect that we have no matter what he does. That's how I feel. I don't know, you know —
RUSH: I know you don't.
CALLER: Yeah, I do.
RUSH: Well, you said you know you don't, and I know you don't. The difference here in what was said about Bush and all the mean-spirited things about Bush and my calling Obama a jackass, I'm telling the truth. All that stuff about Bush was lies, it was made up, it was character assassination. I don't know what your problem with the Pledge is. Let me ask you, Alex, have you read the Pledge? How many pages are in the Pledge?
CALLER: There's 37 pages and there's a lot of graphics in the new Pledge as opposed to the Contract with America which was two or three pages, all shiny pictures of the Statute of Liberty, there was just, 'We're going to do this, this is how we're gonna do it, how much time we're gonna do it in and by the first year we'll have it out.' I'm a major conservative, I loved that. You know, I live in Newark, New Jersey, I watched that whole debate with O'Donnell yesterday, and, you know, good for her, she was great. I'm a real conservative, but there's a limit, there's a limit on how we treat other people, and especially our president, who is our representative. When we insult him, we insult our representative. Whether we voted him in or not, he's our president.
RUSH: You know, let me ask you a question here. People keep reacting to this jackass business. Would you rather me repeatedly say the man is purposefully trying to destroy the United States economy, he has grudge against this country, obviously he doesn't like it, he wants it to be cut down to size, are you okay with that?
CALLER: That's an opinion. That's an opinion, I might not agree, I might think that, you know, he's actually trying to do something good.
RUSH: Well, but jackass is not an opinion, jackass is a statement of fact. I don't know. Here's some stuff from the Pledge, what's not specific about this: Permanently extend all the Bush tax cuts, including those on the wealthy. Cancel all unspent stimulus money. Repeal the Obama health care bill, replacing it with Republican proposals. There's nothing in the Pledge about hating Democrats. I don't know. I think your priorities are a little out of whack. You're worried about how people are going to think of you rather than what they are doing to the country. You know, right now, frankly, I don't care about their feelings. They obviously don't care about ours, either. And I don't think this Pledge or even the jackass comment takes away from decorum in any way, shape, or form. In fact, I frankly have been amazed at how it penetrated, out of all the things. And it's because brevity is the soul of wit. The fewer words you can say to make a point, the more powerful the point.

The Majority of Loy Norrix Students Prefer Spotify Over Apple Music
Filed under Poll
Survey of the preference between Apple Music or Spotify conducted on 104 students at Loy Norrix. Graphic Credit, Audreanna Dunton
Music lovers nowadays enjoy the freedom of skipping as many songs as they please, having unlimited listening time, and having access to any music they would like to listen to. However, there has been a huge debate as to which is better, the streaming app "Spotify" or the streaming service "Apple Music."
In other terms, which one is more worthy of your money. Both music services offer certain upgrades and packages that are unique to each brand.
Spotify is a free app to download, but it offers users a Premium option that costs $9.99 per month. Without Premium, listeners are subjected to advertisements every few songs, and mobile devices only allow music to be played on shuffle with a limited number of skips. Premium includes unlimited skipping of songs, access to any song or podcast and the ability to save songs into personalized playlists of your choice. You have the ability to download any song or podcast of your choice to listen to offline, with no complications involved.
Apple Music, on the other hand, offers a variety of different plans aiming to suit every user's life. For a general single user, they will pay $9.99 per month. For a family plan, users will pay $14.99 per month. Apple Music also offers a student plan, which costs student users only $4.99 per month. Apple Music just recently added the option of being able to make one annual down payment of $99 for a 12-month subscription.
Apple Music requires a paid package in order to begin using their service; however, Spotify has two options: 1) listen for free, but with restrictions, or 2) purchase a Premium package, with no restrictions.
Spotify and Apple Music both are widely used within the Loy Norrix community.
"I prefer Spotify because it creates a playlist for me every day called 'Daily Mix.' It basically has songs I never listen to on a daily [basis], mixed with some songs I never heard before but that I might like," said senior Richie Sackett.
There is a wide variety of students who prefer one music service over the other. Spotify and Apple Music both create and give users the ability to discover new music varieties. Both streaming services give users many options with what to listen to due to the many different personalized and unique playlists made for each user daily.
"I have Apple Music because I've pretty much grown up on Apple products and never really ventured out into Spotify. I feel like they are pretty much the same, but Apple Music just holds a special place in my heart. I don't care about all the statistics Spotify provides, I just listen to my music and don't care too much about it," said junior Jake Vanhorne.
Throughout the Loy Norrix population, 104 students were surveyed. Students from each grade level were interviewed.
Regardless of the streaming service, students use listening to music in school for a wide variety of things, such as reducing stress levels and focusing.
Overall, both music services offer specific pros and cons which make them unique to each service.

"Working with Susanna and Chilo was a wonderful experience. Our desire was for a unique outdoor space. Susanna's design was brilliant. It translated wonderfully to the back yard and we truly have distinct resort experience. The workers are professional and diligent and the team responds quickly to questions or concerns. The worst part is when they leave. Susanna, Chilo and the guys really become part of the family and it was sad to see them leave. Coming home everyday was like Christmas. Everyday new and amazing things happened and as the garden grows it still does! A real gift of a lifetime. I highly recommend Gardens by Chilo & Susanna."

I want to thank you for the work you all did to our "sinking" bricks on our stairs and patio.  The guys did a beautiful job of leveling everything including the spot by the gate out to the street.  And the spot near the BBQ that they patched also looks great!
Thanks for turning it around so quickly - and doing such a stellar job!
"Susanna and Chilo are the best! Susanna has amazing design skills. Listening to what we wanted to achieve, she quickly drew a design that works for us. Chilo and his staff did a wonderful job of pulling it all together. From their many years of experience this was accomplished with ease. The end result is something we are delighted with. From my kitchen window I see a potted lemon and orange tree with climbing vines on the wall. I love it! The backyard is easy maintenance with lots of entertaining space. Just what we wanted."

Last week MGM Resorts and AEG opened the newest entertainment venue in Las Vegas, T-Mobile Arena. The new arena is located behind New York-New York and at the end of The Park which is open to the public on the Vegas Strip. This arena has been 2 years in the making and came with a cost of $375 million to build. Just about everything you could imagine in an arena has been included.
Arenas may not be very exciting at first glance since almost every city has one. However, in this era of new technology and elevated food and beverage programs, T-Mobile Arena offers a lot of things that you probably won't see in an arena that was built 5, 10 or 20 years ago.
MGM Resorts has taken green building to heart with all new major construction projects for their Las Vegas properties. LEED, short for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is essentially a third-party certification program that has become a nationally accepted organization for design, operation and construction of high-performance green buildings. LEED is your baseline today for having an environmentally sound building.
T-Mobile Arena was built with LEED standards in mind. They used 7,000 tons of recycled steel to create the building and 40% of the other materials were sourced directly from neighboring states. Using local materials cuts down on waste and fuel used from travel. There are LED light fixtures are used throughout the arena which reduces their energy needs by 60%.
Greenscapes, cool roofs and solar-reflective materials strategically deter heat island effects and maintain cooler temperatures. Over time, this should be profitable for MGM Resorts and is also good for the environment.
In 2016 free wifi should be a right and not a privilege. T-Mobile Arena addresses this with 550 high-speed Cox wifi access points integrated throughout the arena. This kind of wifi speed and access is a must for any venue in today's age where every moment is shared via facebook, Instagram, twitter, snapchat and periscope. T-Mobile users should also see faster 4G LTE speed since their name is on the building.
The technology isn't only inside the arena. As you approach T-Mobile Arena, the first thing you'll notice is the humongous mesh LED screen facing the Vegas Strip. The 200-foot-long screen can display anything from animated video to live performances. This massive screen is almost the size of a football field! Walking near it at night almost feels like an explosion of light.
Back inside the arena, the technology doesn't end with free wifi. You'll notice it when you look around and see a 30-foot screen projecting a performance throughout the venue. In certain areas of T-Mobile Arena, you also can use the network for one-touch ordering from your seat with provided tablets. This is just the tip of the iceberg for technology at T-Mobile Arena.
It's not enough to just sell hot dogs, popcorn and beer at concerts and sporting events anymore. Guests want and expect a higher quality food and beverage experience than ever before. MGM Resorts took this to heart when building T-Mobile Arena.
The main concourse offers the kind of food you might expect to see an arena but it's turned up a notch. Instead of the fast food burger that you might find in most arenas, you can experience a slightly more upscale burger from Shake Shack. Your pizza experience has the local touch from Forte Pizza who offer wood-fired New York-style pizzas. This isn't just a greasy burger and a slice of 'za.
Customized Concessions takes arena dining to another level with items like hand-carved pork Hoisin Bahn Mi, a made-to-order Ahi Tuna Poke Bar and Club lounges that feature duck fat fries, hand carved sandwiches, artisanal charcuterie and more.
If you think the food options are next level then wait until you hear about the beverage options. Drinks are on a whole other level at T-Mobile Arena. It's almost too much to detail so I'll try to keep this concise. There are approximately 100 mixologists located throughout the venue mixing and pouring craft cocktails. Grey Goose, Jack Daniels, Goose Island and others have their own designated bars and lounges. There's even a Gastro Pub for Club Level guests on the main concourse.
The fanciest lounge at T-Mobile Arena is probably Hyde Lounge, which you might know from its other Las Vegas location at Bellagio. This 18,000-square-foot nightclub is located on the arena's top floor that extends over the crowd. Hyde Lounge offers a great vantage point for the events as well as a DJ, bottle service and gourmet small plates and entrees. There aren't many arenas that offer such a high-end experience.
You'll find Toshiba Plaza in between The Park and T-Mobile Arena. This area isn't just a swath of land in between the two spaces. MGM Resorts looks at this as another "fan engagement zone." Toshiba Plaza has three stages, four 40-foot-towers with LED screens and the best view of T-Mobile Arenas 200-foot-wide mesh LED wall. Toshiba Plaza will mostly be used for concerts before and after events but that's not all. Toshiba Plaza will be also be used for live broadcasts and unique events like outdoor awards shows. On April 28, Toshiba Plaza will Freddie Awards for the travel loyalty industry.
This year's Freddie Awards will be on Thursday April 28th, and will take place at the Toshiba Plaza: the outdoor, park-like venue next to the T-mobile Arena. The Freddie Awards will be among the events it hosts during it's grand opening in April!

Q: How to modifiy Material-UI TextField input type Number for now the type = "number" in TextFiled Material-UI
accept number(0-9) coma (,) and double dash(--)
and, I just need one dash(-)
I've seen to insert pattern in inputProps, but it seems not working..
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you
 <TextField
    label="Super Koin"
    variant="outlined"
    type="number"
    inputProps={{
       pattern: /^-?\d+(?:\.\d+)?$/g
      }}
    name="Gajian"
    style={{ marginBottom: "22px" }}
    defaultValue={
        (form.injectCustomer && form.injectCustomer.supercoin) ||
            0
         }
     fullWidth
     inputRef={this.superPoints}
     InputLabelProps={{
         shrink: true
      }}
     onChange={e => {

     this.actionRow(
     { key: "supercoin", value: (e.target.value)},
            "supercoin"
         );
       }}
     />

I'm trying to make validation inside onChange
 onChange={e => {
    console.log(e.target.value,"EEE")
    this.actionRow({
      key: "supercoin",
      value: e.target.value === "--" ? e.target.value = 0 : e.target.value =
     },
      "supercoin"
    );

}}

but, the console.log for "-" and "--" is empty and it seems impossible to validate from onChange

A: I think when using patterns you have to use the type="text".
Then add the inputMode: 'numeric' in your inputProps.
<TextField
    type="text"
    inputProps={{
           inputMode: 'numeric',
           pattern: '/^-?\d+(?:\.\d+)?$/g'
    }}
/>

A: You could use react-number-format and provide a custom implementation of the <input> element with the inputComponent property:
import React from "react";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";
import NumberFormat from "react-number-format";
import Box from "@mui/material/Box";
import TextField from "@mui/material/TextField";

const NumberFormatCustom = React.forwardRef(function NumberFormatCustom(props, ref) {
  const { onChange, ...other } = props;

  return (
    <NumberFormat
      {...other}
      getInputRef={ref}
      onValueChange={(values) => {
        onChange({
          target: {
            name: props.name,
            value: values.value,
          },
        });
      }}
      // isNumericString
    />
  );
});

NumberFormatCustom.propTypes = {
  name: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  onChange: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
};

export default function FormattedInput() {
  const [numberformat, setNumberformat] = React.useState(0);

  const handleChange = (event) => {
    setNumberformat(event.target.value);
  };

  return (
    <Box>
      <TextField
        label="react-number-format"
        value={numberformat}
        onChange={handleChange}
        name="numberformat"
        id="formatted-numberformat-input"
        InputProps={{
          inputComponent: NumberFormatCustom,
        }}
        variant="standard"
      />
    </Box>
  );
}

A: onChange={(evt) => {
  evt.stopPropagation()
  evt.preventDefault()
  evt.currentTarget.value = evt.target.value.replace(/[\D\s]/, '')
  return
 }}

CARACAS: Venezuela's government expelled the German ambassador on Wednesday, while press advocacy groups said an American journalist had been detained, as embattled President Nicolas Maduro cracks down on a challenge to his rule.
Ambassador Daniel Kriener was expelled two days after he and diplomats from other embassies welcomed home opposition leader Juan Guaido at the Caracas airport. The government declared Kriener persona non grata and gave him 48 hours to leave the country, accusing him of meddling in internal affairs, although it did not give specific details.
"Venezuela considers it unacceptable that a foreign diplomat carries out in its territory a public role closer to that of a political leader aligned with the conspiratorial agenda of extremist sectors of the Venezuelan opposition," the government said in a statement.
A German foreign ministry spokeswoman confirmed Venezuela had expelled the ambassador and that the ministry was consulting with its allies on how to respond.
Most Western countries, including Germany, recognize Guaido as Venezuela's legitimate head of state and back his plan to install a transition government ahead of free elections. Guaido denounces Maduro as an usurper whose re-election last year resulted from a sham vote. Maduro says he is victim of a coup.
Kriener, along with ambassadors and diplomats from other European embassies, had gone to the airport on Monday to support Guaido, who had risked arrest on his return to Venezuela for flouting a court-imposed travel ban to visit other Latin American countries.
Separately, Venezuela's National Press Workers Union said on Twitter that American journalist Cody Weddle was arrested at his home on Wednesday by military counterintelligence agents. Espacio Publico, a free speech group, said he had been accused of treachery and that the agents took his computer and equipment.
WPLG Local 10 News, a Miami television station that Weddle contributed to, reported on its website that management attempts to reach Weddle "have proven unsuccessful" and that his last contact with station employees was on Monday afternoon.
Neither Venezuela's information ministry nor the U.S. State Department immediately responded to requests for comment.
Last week, Venezuela deported a team from U.S. television network Univision after anchor Jorge Ramos said authorities detained them at the presidential palace.

Welcome to the SAGE edge site for Our Social World, Seventh Edition.
The SAGE edge site for Our Social World by Jeanne H. Ballantine, Keith A. Roberts, and Kathleen Odell Korgen offers a robust online environment you can access anytime, anywhere, and features an impressive array of free tools and resources to keep you on the cutting edge of your learning experience.
Our Social World: Introduction to Sociology inspires students to develop their sociological imaginations, to see the world and personal events from a new perspective, and to confront sociological issues on a day-to-day basis. Organized around the "Social World" model, a conceptual framework that demonstrates the relationships among individuals (the micro level); organizations, institutions, and subcultures (the meso level); and societies and global structures (the macro level), the authors use this framework to help students develop the practice of using three levels of analysis, and to view sociology as an integrated whole, rather than a set of discrete subjects.
The Seventh Edition includes new coverage of climate change, the influence of robots and artificial intelligence on workers, race relations in the Trump era, transgender identity and gender fluidity, sexual harassment in the workplace and the #MeToo movement, declining marriage rates, the impact of tracking for students at all academic achievement levels, smoking as an example of health and inequality in the U.S., gun violence and the student movement to control access to guns, social media, and Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Matt Pittman is a man about his meat. The Texas-based BBQ master is a Yeti Barbecue Ambassador and world-renowned wood fire cook. Pittman has become one of the foremost Texas BBQ cooks in the country appearing on BBQ Pitmasters and finding a loyal following amongst smoked meat enthusiasts.
Pittman travels the world spreading the holy gospel of BBQ, appearing on television, and slanging his proprietary meat spices via his brand Meat Church. While born in Tennessee, Pittman considers himself a Texan having moved to the Lone Star state in his early teens and dedicating his life to purveying the culture and style of Texas BBQ.
We caught up with Pittman to talk about his formative years, his foray into the BBQ world, how food might be the one thing that can unite the masses, and how to grill the perfect Salmon this summer.
I was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but I moved to Texas when I was 13. I'm 43 now, so I'm pretty well Texan at this point.
Is where you're from an important distinction in the BBQ world?
Not really where you're from, it's more where you're at. People say I'm from Texas now and don't really talk about where I was born. I think it's important to understand where someone is from though. My style is Texas BBQ and everyone is trying to emulate Texas BBQ, so I think it's important to know the history from that perspective.
What is Texas style BBQ?
There are five major regions for BBQ and Texas is well known for its beef and the seasoning is generally very simple, so it's usually just salt and pepper. It really originates in central Texas near Austin and down by Lockhart. If you go there and order brisket or ribs it's traditionally going to be extremely simple. It's going to be smoked with post oak and seasoned with coarsely cracked pepper and kosher salt. It's really straightforward, you're trying to let the meat speak for its self and not doing anything too crazy to it.
How did you get into BBQ, was this a family tradition?
Man, I wish. I always joke that my Dad would have taught me to BBQ, but the reality is that I taught him how to BBQ. I've always been an outdoor cook and wannabe chef, all though I never wanted to work the hours of a chef. My curiosity for cooking definitely comes from watching my Grandma cook in her kitchen in Alabama as a young man and eating Southern comfort food. When I was a teenager in Texas I discovered BBQ and just loved the taste of smoked meat. I ended up taking a trip to Lockhart, Texas, had a bite of a beef rib and was just blown away. I've always been a guy that grilled and cooked outside, but after I had that beef rib I knew that's the style of cooking I wanted to do. It started out from a self-taught perspective, but I've been fortunate to meet a lot of people in the BBQ community and a lot of people have been willing to help me along the way.
How do you go from a guy BBQing in his backyard to getting so much recognition for your craft?
It was kind of an accident, I was competing in BBQ competitions and got selected to be on the TV show BBQ Pit Masters and that obviously gives you credibility. I was also mixing my own rubs at the time and I learned that if you have your own rubs you can take them on the show, so by the time the show aired I launched my brand Meat Church with three seasonings, two shirts, and two hats.
How did you come up with the name Meat Church, what's the significance behind that?
Well we wanted to come up with a new name for our competition BBQ team and there's this really funny food writer in Dallas and she went to a BBQ restaurant on a Sunday morning and Tweeted out "I'm about to sit down and have my meat church." I thought it was clever and when I was trying to decide what to name the brand I wanted to avoid the cliche BBQ names so I thought I would stand out. It's not religious but it is aligned with my belief that my BBQ is going to bring people around to hang out and have a good time, so the fellowship of hanging out with your friends and being together is really significant.
The communal and ceremonial aspect of BBQ seems like a really important element to you. Is that a big part of the magic of BBQ or open fire cooking?
Yeah, I think our lives center around food, no matter what type of food you're talking about from celebration to family dinners. BBQ usually consist of cooking a piece of meat that can feed anywhere between eight and twenty people, so it's often something you're sharing with other people. There's nothing better than having a pool party and a having a bunch of buddies tell you that your ribs are the best ribs they've ever had in their lives.
There's a lot of divisiveness and polarization in the world right now, but I feel like food might be the one thing that can bring people together, do you feel like there's a unifying element to food?
Yeah for sure, I heard the other day that Texan's have three passion points food, music, and sports so that reiterates my perspective about how passionate people are about food. People love to say they are foodies are into trying new chefs and restaurants. I think it's really important and brings people together.
Are there any new projects or anything we should be on the lookout for from Meat Church?
I get a lot of requests to teach and I teach classes in my backyard. I've had 15 classes in my backyard so far this year. I also travel and teach, this year I taught at both Traeger Grills and Nike this year and will be traveling to Sweden in August to teach BBQ for the third year in a row and in October I'm going to teach in Australia. I've also got about 15 events scheduled for the rest of the year including some BBQ festivals and schools. We're also releasing a new product in the next month, we try to release a few new spices and seasonings a few times a year to keep people excited.
Prepare your Traeger to a temperature of 275.
We recommend lighter smoking pellets for this smoke. Pecan, Alder wood or fruitwood will pair nicely with fish while not being too overpowering.
Pour the brine over the filets and let them sit for two hours in the refrigerator. It's ok if the fish floats.
After 2 hours remove the fish from the brine, rinse off and thoroughly pat dry.
Season with Meat Church Honey Hog moderately on the flesh side. All to sit for 10 minutes.
Place the filets on the grilling planks. A full filet will require 2 planks.
While the fish is smoking, melt the butter and mix with the maple syrup.
Pour the butter and syrup mixture over the filets when the filets are 115 – 120 degrees internal temperature.
Continue cooking the fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 – 130 degrees depending on your taste preference. This smoke will take around 35 minutes at 275.
