Q: CrawlSpider fails to follow rule for some websites I'm trying to start my first scrapy project and I got stuck with a weird problem. For some websites my crawler works well, for some others it does not follow the rule for extracting the links. I searched on SO and saw that other people had similar issues, but in their case the badly formatted their allow parameter resulting in a Filtered offsite request, which does not happen to me. My logs are here http://pastebin.com/r1pXmeJW (first the failing url, then a url that works fine, because I cannot post more than 2 links...).
My spider is controlled via a Python script that uses the API:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from twisted.internet import reactor
from scrapy.crawler import Crawler
from scrapy import log, signals
from scrapy.utils.project import get_project_settings
from govcrawl.spiders.main_spider import DomainSpider
import sys, urlparse, re
from scrapy.contrib.spiders import Rule
from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors.lxmlhtml import LxmlLinkExtractor

args = sys.argv[1].split('§')
url_id = args[0]
start_url = args[1]
url_parts = urlparse.urlparse(start_url)
allowed_domain = url_parts.netloc
allowed_path = '/'.join(url_parts.path.split('/')[:-1])
cur_state = sys.argv[2]

spider = DomainSpider(
   start_urls = [start_url],
   allowed_domains = [allowed_domain],
   url_id = url_id,
   cur_state = cur_state,
   rules = (
      Rule(
         LxmlLinkExtractor(
            allow = re.compile(r".*%s.*" % re.escape(allowed_path), re.IGNORECASE),
            allow_domains = [allowed_domain],
            tags = ('a', 'area', 'frame'),
            attrs = ('href', 'src')
         ),
         callback = "parse_items",
         follow = True
      ),
   )
)
settings = get_project_settings()
crawler = Crawler(settings)
crawler.signals.connect(reactor.stop, signal = signals.spider_closed)
crawler.configure()
crawler.crawl(spider)
crawler.start()
log.start()
reactor.run()

And this is my DomainSpider:
import re
from govcrawl.items import DomainItem
from scrapy.utils.markup import remove_tags
from scrapy.contrib.spiders import CrawlSpider
from scrapy import log

class DomainSpider(CrawlSpider):
    name = "govcrawl_main"

    def parse_start_url(self, response):
        return self.parse_items(response)

    def parse_items(self, response):
        pages_done = self.crawler.stats.get_value('downloader/response_count')
        pages_todo = self.crawler.stats.get_value('scheduler/enqueued') - self.crawler.stats.get_value('downloader/response_count')
        log.msg("URL: %s (%s) Crawled %d pages. To Crawl: %d" % (self.start_urls[0], self.url_id, pages_done, pages_todo), spider = self)
        links = []
        for sel in response.xpath('//a'):
           href = sel.xpath('@href').extract()
           if len(href) > 0:
              href = href[0]
              if href.startswith("http"):
                 links.append(href)
        item = DomainItem()
        item["url"] = response.url
        item["text"] = re.sub(r'\s{2,}', ' ', remove_tags(' '.join(response.xpath('//body//text()').extract()))).strip()
        item["links"] = links
        self.crawler.stats.inc_value('pages_crawled')
        yield item

Any idea how to make the crawler follow the rule for the websites that fail?

A: Turns out that the page returning the error had a malformed html code, with multiple </html>s which lxml parser didn't like. Since scrapy doesn't allow you to use a CrawlSpider with a different parser, I ended up reimplementing a regular Spider object that behaves more or less as a CrawlSpider:
import urlparse, re
from scrapy import Spider, log
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from scrapy.http import Request
from govcrawl.items import DomainItem

class DomainSimpleSpider(Spider):
    name = "govcrawl_simple"

    def parse(self, response):
        pages_done = self.crawler.stats.get_value('downloader/response_count')
        pages_todo = self.crawler.stats.get_value('scheduler/enqueued') - self.crawler.stats.get_value('downloader/response_count')
        log.msg("URL: %s (%s) Crawled %d pages. To Crawl: %d" % (self.start_urls[0], self.url_id, pages_done, pages_todo), spider = self)
        #import ipdb
        #ipdb.set_trace()
        soup = BeautifulSoup(response._body, "html5lib")
        links = []
        for tag in self.tags:
           for a in soup.find_all(tag):
              for attr in self.attrs:
                 if attr in a.attrs:
                    href = a.attrs[attr]
                    if href.startswith("http"):
                       links.append(href)
                    href = urlparse.urljoin(response.url, href)
                    href_parts = urlparse.urlparse(href.replace('\t', '').replace('\r', '').replace('\n', '').replace(' ', '+'))
                    if re.match(self.allow, href_parts.path) and not self.forbidden_extension(href_parts.path):
                       yield Request(href)
        for script in soup(["script", "style"]):
           script.extract()
        item = DomainItem()
        item["url"] = response.url
        #item["text"] = re.sub(r'\s{2,}', ' ', remove_tags(' '.join(response.xpath('//body//text()').extract()))).strip()
        item["text"] = soup.get_text()
        item["links"] = links
        self.crawler.stats.inc_value('pages_crawled')
        yield item

    def forbidden_extension(self, url):
       url = url.lower()
       return url.endswith("pdf") or url.endswith("jpg") or url.endswith("wmv") or url.endswith("avi") or url.endswith("pptx") or url.endswith("gif") or url.endswith("mp3") or url.endswith("mp4") or url.endswith("wav") or url.endswith("mov") or url.endswith("ppt") or url.endswith("xls") or url.endswith("doc") or url.endswith("docx") or url.endswith("xlsx") or url.endswith("flv") or url.endswith("wma") or url.endswith("jpeg") or url.endswith("png") or url.endswith("odf") or url.endswith("ods") or url.endswith("zip") or url.endswith("gz") or url.endswith("tar") or url.endswith("7z") or url.endswith("rar") or url.endswith("vob")

This spider can be controlled via the following Python script:
from twisted.internet import reactor
from scrapy.crawler import Crawler
from scrapy import log, signals
from scrapy.utils.project import get_project_settings
from govcrawl.spiders.simple_spider import DomainSimpleSpider
import urlparse, re
from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors.lxmlhtml import LxmlLinkExtractor

start_url = ...
url_parts = urlparse.urlparse(start_url)
allowed_domain = url_parts.netloc
allowed_path = '/'.join(url_parts.path.split('/')[:-1])

spider = DomainSimpleSpider(
   start_urls = [start_url],
   allowed_domains = [allowed_domain],
   allow = re.compile(r".*%s.*" % re.escape(allowed_path), re.IGNORECASE),
   tags = ('a', 'area', 'frame'),
   attrs = ('href', 'src'),
   response_type_whitelist = [r"text/html", r"application/xhtml+xml", r"application/xml"]
)
settings = get_project_settings()
crawler = Crawler(settings)
crawler.signals.connect(reactor.stop, signal = signals.spider_closed)
crawler.configure()
crawler.crawl(spider)
crawler.start()
log.start()
reactor.run()

Note that:

*

*I am using html5lib parser from BeautifulSoup instead of lxml. html5lib can handle multiple </html> quite nicely, but it's an external dependency, so you'll have to install it.

*For some reason, the mimetype check seems not working. Therefore I added a forbidden_extensions function that prevents the creation of Request for non html files and I had to add another DownloaderMiddleware that makes use of the response_type_whitelist of the spider (see Python Scrapy - mimetype based filter to avoid non-text file downloads for the middleware implementation)

*It seems that this spider is processing the starting page twice, but I frankly don't care to fix this.

Asda trials UK-first indoor map service for the blind and visually impaired
December 31, 2021 December 5, 2021 Stuart Mitchell
Asda is trialling new technology in its Stevenage store which will make it easier for blind and partially sighted customers to navigate their way around the store.
To coincide with the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities, from December 3rd Asda's flagship technology store in Stevenage will be the first supermarket in the UK to be integrated into the GoodMaps smartphone app, specifically built for use amongst the blind and partially sighted. Although the app has an obvious benefit to disabled shoppers, the usability of the app is not limited to those whom are blind or partially sighted only.
The app can pinpoint the user's location to within a meter of accuracy and then communicate directions to an object or area via audio, enlarged visual, and touch commands. Shoppers using the app will be able to search for key landmarks within the store such as the pharmacy, bathrooms, and tills, but the app can also be used to search for specific goods on the shelves with the aim being to guide the customer as close as possible to the item they are looking for.
Kane Stephenson, Inclusion Manager at Asda said: ''We strive to be an inclusive business and that includes making it easier for all of our customers to carry out a shop in one of our stores. We hope that by working with GoodMaps we can understand how we can make the in-store experience better for our blind and partially sighted customers. Our Stevenage store is the ideal testing ground for this tool with it already being home to a number of tech trials including electronic shelf labels and holograms, and this trial will teach us how we can make shopping in Asda easier for customers with additional needs.''
Neil Barnfather, VP Europe at GoodMaps said "it has been a real delight to work with ASDA on this project. Recognising not only the commercial value in providing an enhanced retail experience to shoppers, but, equally the ethical stance taken by ASDA in this regard has been both humbling and demonstrative of a corporate culture determined to make their offering not only inclusive but truly outstanding for all."

Breakfast meets lunch in this easy-to-make and yummy-to-eat recipe. By nixing the sugary jam and replacing it with fresh strawberry slices, I brought in a touch of sweetness without the added sugar. It's a no-brainer for little ones but it's just as great for adults who are in a rush to get to work in the a.m. Give it a shot tomorrow morning for a delicious way to start the day.
Trim the crusts off the bread (optional). Spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter and strawberry slices. Fold each slice of bread in half and pinch the edges of the bread together.
In a small bowl, whip the whole egg with the skim milk.
Generously coat a skillet with oil spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Dunk and coat the 2 folded bread halves in the egg mixture. Place the folded bread halves in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until crisp. Enjoy.
Try topping it with my Cherry-Chia Jam.

Paraty je općina i povijesni grad na južnoj obali Brazila, u državi Rio de Janeiro, oko 258 km jugozapadno od glavnog grada države, Ria de Janeira i 330 km sjevernije od São Paula. Grad je smješten uz ocean, na bujnom obalnom području Costa Verde ("Zelena obala") između dvije rijeke i gotovo na razini mora. Oblikovan je uzimajući u obzir tok plime i kao rezultat toga mnoge su ulice periodično poplavljene tijekom plime. Paraty je 1930. god. bio glavni grad Brazila, a danas je središte općine s površinom od 930,7 četvornih kilometara i 39.395 stanovnika, što ga stavlja na 43. mjesto među općinama države Rio po broju stanovnika.

Budući kako je lijep primjer očuvane baštine kolonijalne barokne arhitekture, Paraty je, zajedno s obližnjim otokom Ilha Grande, upisan na UNESCO-ov popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Americi 2019. godine kao "jedan od najbolje očuvanih obalnih gradova u Brazilu s četiri zaštićena prirodna područja brazilske Atlantske šume". To je prvo miješano mjesto svjetske baštine (kulturna i prirodna baština) u Brazilu.

Povijest

Područje današnjeg grada su naseljavali indijanci plemena Guaianá, koji su cijelo ovo područje zvali Paraty, što na jeziku Tupi znači "rijeka riba". Portugalci su osnovali selo 1597. god., a grad 1667. godine, nakon otkrića zlata u planinama Minas Geraisa. Grad se brzo bogati postajući luka iz koje isplovljavaju brodovi koji prevoze zlato u Portugal.

Ovaj prelijepi grad tada je sagrađen u najčišćem kolonijalnom stilu s baroknim crkvama i kaldrmama kamenom popločenih ulica u cijeloj četvrti povijesnog središta. Njegova je luka služila i kao ulazno mjesto za alate i afričke robove, poslane na rad u rudnicima. Izgrađen je obrambeni sustav radi zaštite bogatstva luke i grada.Bio je to tajni grad u kojemu su živjeli samo vojnici, radnici i robovi iz Afrike. Krajem 17. stoljeća Paraty je bio krajnja točka "puta zlata" (Caminho do Ouro), 1200 km dug popločani kameni put koji je povezivao luku Paraty s gradovima zlata (Diamantina via Ouro Preto i Tiradentes). Dva stoljeća ova mala ribarska luka, skrivena na dnu njezine uvale, bila je glavna točka ukrcavanja paleta armadas za prenošenje bogatstva Brazila u Lisabon.

Kad je odlučeno da će zlatna ruta prolaziti kroz sigurniji Rio de Janeiro, Paraty je uskoro napustilo njezino stanovništvo. Iz tog razloga arhitektura grada gotovo se nije promijenila od tog vremena, što mu daje veliku kulturnu vrijednost i čini je turističkom atrakcijom. Do pedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća nije bilo ni ceste za pristup gradu, a danas u gradu nije dopušteno kretanje automobila ili kamiona i dozvoljen je samo pješački promet ili bicikli. Motorna vozila su u povijesnoj četvrti dopuštena samo za isporuke srijedom, pa su konji i kola vrlo čest prizor širom grada.

God. 1972. osnovan je Državni park Paraty-Mirim kojim je zaštićen Paraty i njegov bujni okoliš, da bi još 32.610 ha obale Atlantske šume zaštićeno Zaštićenim područjem okoliša Cairuçu 1985. god., koje se dijelom preklapa s Nacionalnim parkom Serra da Bocaina koji je osnovan na samom jugu općine 1971. god., a proteže se u državu São Paulo.

Znamenitosti

Povijesno središte Paratyja zadržalo je svoj plan iz 18. stoljeća, a velik dio njegove kolonijalne arhitekture datira iz 18. i početka 19. stoljeća.

Paraty ima koristi od još jednog velikog dobra: ljepota prirode koja ga okružuje. Grad je zapravo smješten u krajoliku zelenih brežuljaka Atlantske šume (jedno od pet svjetskih ključnih žarišta bioraznolikosti) koji se uranjaju u more kako bi se ponovno iznikli u obliku velikog broja malih otoka. To je dom impresivne raznolikosti vrsta, od kojih su neke ugrožene, kao što su jaguar, bjelousni pekariji (Tayassu pecari) i nekoliko vrsta primata, kao što je južni vunasti majmun pauk, koji je simbol mjesta.

Paraty nudi i prekrasne plaže poput plaže Cachadaço i Trindade.

Slavni ljudi iz Paratyja
 Princ Jean d'Orléans-Braganza živio je tamo od pedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća nakon što je stekao veliko imanje na 500 hektara.

Interested in finding more opportunities as a food based program instructor in Vancouver community centres?
As part of the Vancouver Park Board's plan to increase food and kitchen-based programming in community centres, we are inviting food facilitators/instructors to register in the Park Board's Online Instructor Database. Community centre programmers can find and hire instructors for workshops and programs with a specific focus on food programming—specifically instructors who specialize in nutrition, community kitchens, food preservation, gardening, meal programming, and any other niche or food based skill that can be shared with residents across our communities.
Some individual community centers have their own additional instructor registration forms posted on their direct websites. If you are distinctly interested in working with one specific centre, you can also register through their direct sites.
Please forward this information to any instructors and organizations that work with food programming in Vancouver community centres.
If you have any questions or difficulties using the database, please email recreation@vancouver.ca and use "food instructor" as a subject line.
Hi, my name is Ashley. I am very interested in the Sunday classes; Kombucha Brewing, Raw Vegan in 10 Minutes, Sinlesss Desserts for All and Cleansing With Smoothies. The classes run every Sunday starting on Janurary 29th to February 19th.

Hopefully on a Friday, Tuesday or Thursday. My Tuesday and Thursday classes are drop-in classes.
I hope that you get this in time. I missed your comment earlier. yes, you are welcome to come. We are in the pre-teen centre at Britannia. Just bring a small jar to take home your mother. And you will need to register at the front office first.
Sorry, I saw your message in the stats page, which only provides a snip of the message. The Kombucha workshop is popular so we will try to offer at anther time in the future. That goes for all the workshops. Leave me your email address and I will add to our email list so that I can keep you updated on future workshops and events, etc.

Is there a problem since its a different location with a different IP ? (Domain name is the same, I moved the name on the DNS also)Do a have to re-do the signing process with the CA ?
This may not be strictly a Cisco issue and it seems to be an interoperbility issue between ASA and Samba. Or simply the smb.conf configuration.

Colvile
Charles Colvile started his broadcasting career at the age of 20 as a freelance sports reporter for Radio 4's PM Programme. It was the original lucky break as he had only applied for a job as a clerk! However once launched upon the airwaves, there was no looking back.
After a short training spell at BBC Radio Oxford, Charles, still only 22, was recruited by Radio 4 and became their youngest ever staff announcer. Continuity Announcing and eventually Newsreading soon made him a familiar voice to the Nation's radio listeners and when in 1980 he was loaned for a short spell to BBC1 and 2 Continuity, he had his first taste of the world of television which included a brief spell in-vision at Norwich.
In 1982 he returned to his broadcasting roots in sport as a member of the award-winning BBC Radio Sports Team and he soon carved out a niche for himself by becoming the first regular sports correspondent of the Today programme.
More About Charles
Television was always beckoning though and another loan period – this time to the highly popular Breakfast Time with Frank Bough and Selina Scott – gave him the grounding he needed in the world of TV Journalism. It also a led in 1986, to his first ever documentary – about the M25 – which was broadcast on BBC 2.
Two years later in 1988, Charles left the BBC to work for LWT as a reporter and studio presenter on the prime time wee...
Two years later in 1988, Charles left the BBC to work for LWT as a reporter and studio presenter on the prime time weekly current affair shows Friday Now and Six O'clock Live. This again proved an invaluable grounding in all-round TV journalism as it honed his skills as an investigative reporter and interviewer.
During this period he also kept his hand in with sport and radio by presenting two seasons of Charles Colvile's Sunday Sport – a live five-hour summer sports show on Radio 2.
By 1990 the landscape of British Television was about to change for all time with the birth of Satellite TV and. Charles was recruited by the fledgeling B.S.B to be their main cricket presenter. When they and Sky merged later that year to form B.Sky.B, Charles had found his home.
In the ensuing 18 years, he has presented and commentated on live International cricket from all around the world including Australia, the West Indies, South Africa and India. He has fronted Sky's coverage of 4 World Cups and been an ever-present and familiar fixture on the English Summer scene.
He has made numerous profiles and cricketing documentaries – most recently the highly acclaimed series "Out of the Wilderness" which told the story of South African cricket's part in the fight against Apartheid.
He has also broadcast on ESPN Star and Australian Channels 7 and 9.
Although now over 50, Charles continues to play club cricket for his village whenever possible – albeit at an increasingly useless level – although he has represented his beloved Surrey in the Over 50's Home Counties Championship.
He is married and has to find funds for four children, two dogs and two guinea pigs.

Іларій Піктавійський або «Іларій з Пуатьє» (близько 315 — 13 січня 367) — християнський святий, єпископ і Вчитель Церкви, видатний теолог Заходу. За свою тверду позицію в боротьбі з аріанською єрессю, що заперечувала божественність Христа, отримав прізвисько «Афанасій Заходу».

Біографія

За свідченням св. Ієроніма, народився в Пуатьє (Аквітанія) у другому десятилітті IV століття. Походив із знатного роду, отримав класичну освіту і присвятив ранні роки життя вивченню філософії. Прагнення осягнути сенс життя спонукало його звернутися до Нового Заповіту. За переказами, в той момент, коли він читав пролог Євангелія від Івана, де містилося вчення про божественне Слово-Логос, на нього зглянувся небесне світло, що спонукало його до Хрещення.

Близько 350 року Іларій був обраний єпископом його рідного міста, він був до того моменту одружений (білий священик). Іларій не узяв участі в Арелатському (353) і Медіоланському (355) соборах, які підтвердили скинення св. Афанасія Олександрійського, проте активно зайнявся організацією опозиції гальських єпископів по відношенню до Сатурніна, аріанство єпископа Арля, за що був засланий Констанцієм в Малу Азію як політичний баламут.

У 354–360 роках, будучи єпископом у Пуатьє Іларій дав благословення Мартіну Турському заснувати перший пустельний монастир у Галлії, пустинь Лігюже (Ligugé) біля Пуатьє (монастир у Лігюже існує донині). Цим спонукав Мартіна з Туру стати родоначальником Галльського (французького) чернецтва.

У період заслання (356–359) Іларій написав свій головний богословський твір, трактат «Про Трійцю» (De Trinitate), присвячений доведенню божественності Сина (Ісуса Христа). Цікаво, що в іншому важливому творі, «Про собори» (De synodis), Іларій розповідає про те, що лише перед самим засланням він вперше познайомився з Нікейським символом віри. У трактаті «Про Трійцю» висловлена думка про те, що різниця між правовірним і єретичним віровченням іноді може виявитися різним розумінням термінів, а не дійсно різними думками.

Про ліберальність його поглядів свідчить успіх, якого він досяг у встановленні контактів з різними релігійними партіями на Сході. У той же час Іларій засудив як «святотатство» декларацію крайніх аріан, які взяли 2-у Сірмійску формулу (357), згідно з якою Син «не подібний» до Отця. На Селевкійському соборі (359) він вітав перемогу поміркованої партії на чолі з єпископом Василем Анкірським і схвалив прийняття «Антіохійського символу віри», який міг стати гарантом правовірності Східної церкви.

На початку 360 року Іларій звернувся до імператора з проханням дозволити йому зустрітися в публічному диспуті з Сатурніном і взяти участь у новому Константинопольському соборі («До Констанцію Августа», книга друга), однак на обидва прохання отримав відмову, після чого виступив з викриттям Констанція («Проти Констанція Августа»). Все ж 361 року Іларію було дозволено повернутися в Галію, де він відновив свою боротьбу з Сатурніном, в результаті чого останній був знову засуджений на Паризькому соборі (361).

З цього моменту аріанство втратило свої позиції в Галлії, і Іларій спробував переконати імператора Юліана відправити у заслання аріанина Авксентія, єпископа Медіоланського, однак до аріан язичницький імператор ставився терпимо і відмовився це зробити.

Іларій помер, ймовірно, 13 січня 367 року. Папа Пій IX проголосив його Вчителем Церкви 13 травня 1851.

Acts Benefiting Employee
When an employee undertakes an activity that is outside his regular or established duties, the question arises whether an injury resulting from such activity was incurred during the course of his employment. Though compensation is not altogether likely when the act benefits the employee, there are instances where it is possible for an employee to recover workers' compensation benefits. With respect to self-improvement activities, courts have allowed compensation where the employee was injured while attempting to register for a vocational class. The decision hinged on the fact that the vocational education was called for in the contract for hire. Additionally, an employee required by his union to take educational courses, which were paid for by the employer, was allowed compensation.
Corporate Executives and Partners
Depending upon an individual's position within a company, he may or may not be covered by workers' compensation. Generally, it is "employees" who may claim workers' compensation benefits. Officers, such as a chief operating officer, president, corporate secretary, or chief financial officer, are usually covered just like regular employees. However, if such an officer gains a controlling ownership interest in the corporation, workers' compensation coverage may be lost. This is because the corporation has essentially become the alter ego of the officer and vice-versa. If workers' compensation coverage was still to be extended to the officer in such a situation, it would be like calling the officer both the employer and the employee. For coverage to be affected, some states require that the officer serve on the corporation's board of directors in addition to owning shares in the corporation.
Determining "Dependency" for Workers' Compensation Death Benefits
The issue of "dependency," with respect to the receipt of workers' compensation death benefits, is generally determined either as of the date of the worker's death or the date of the accident that caused his death. Those individuals who are, therefore, "dependents" on the requisite date will be eligible to receive death benefits in an amount commensurate with the measure of dependency on the worker, i.e. total or partial dependency.
Payment for Representation of a Social Security Claimant
A social security claimant may choose to be represented by a third party in his dealings with the Social Security Administration (SSA). If the third party accepts the role of "representative" on behalf of the claimant, he is prohibited from charging the claimant a fee without prior authorization from the SSA. This holds true even if the claim is denied. To obtain approval from the SSA, the representative must use either of two fee authorization processes.
Supplemental Security Income Appeals Process
Aggrieved individuals may appeal initial determinations of the Social Security Administration with respect to a variety of issues. A non-exhaustive list of appealable issues includes whether an individual is eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, the amount of an individual's SSI benefit, whether an overpayment has occurred and the amount to be repaid, and whether the individual suffers from a "disability." Though individuals have sixty days to initiate the appeal process, only those individuals who appeal within ten days may have their benefits continued until the appeal is decided. If ultimately, the individual's appeal is unsuccessful, the payments he received in the interim will be considered overpayments. After each decision in the appeal process, the individual has another sixty days in which to appeal to the next level.

On October 3rd, Township of Langley Council adopted a Public Engagement Charter to ensure meaningful dialogue between the Township and residents around development planning.
The charter, developed with support from MODUS, directs the Township in its goal of being a responsive, community-serving organization and sets the standards for public engagement for years to come.
The Charter is key to the Township's overarching Public Engagement Strategy created by the Mayor's Standing Committee on Public Engagement (with MODUS support) and endorsed by Council in March 2016. Read the Charter here.

This post was originally published on May 2, 2018.
Change is hard. The Tesla (TSLA) Model 3 is here to persuade you it's worth the trouble.
The moment you land in the Tesla Model 3, you realize some things are never going to be the same. There are almost no buttons or dials, with climate, radio, vehicles settings and just about everything else controlled from a laptop-sized touch screen. There's no shifter, just a short stalk on the steering column for toggling between drive, reverse and park. A/C vents? There's just one—that narrow, barely noticeable slit running across the entire dash.
Oh yeah—there's no gas tank, either, since the Tesla Model 3 is a pure electric sports sedan that runs on battery power.
The Model 3 is the car that will either save or sink Tesla, depending on whether you believe Elon Musk, the company's brash CEO, or the many Tesla critics who think the upstart automaker will run out of money before it's able to turn a profit.
In our abbreviated test, Pras Subramanian and I marveled at the innovations Tesla engineered into the Model 3, as you'll see in the video above. But we also noticed some glaring deficiencies that might warn of quality problems that could turn off buyers. Our bottom line: Tesla has produced a game-changing vehicle – but only if it can make rapid quality improvements and promptly fix problems that crop up on vehicles already on the road.
The Model 3 is still somewhat scarce, since production has been plagued with snafus and Tesla is still far short of turning out its goal of 5,000 cars per week. The company doesn't provide test cars to journalists the way most automakers do, so we rented a Model 3 from an owner in the New York City area, via Turo.
The Tesla Model 3 starts at around $35,000, but the early production models on the road now were more expensive versions with a suite of options, including a more powerful battery. The car we rented went for about $56,000, including an extra $9,000 for the beefier battery, which boosts range from 220 miles on a single charge to 310 miles. Other options on the model we tested include a glass roof, two built-in smartphone docks and a few other goodies.
Pricey? Yeah. But satisfying, still. Pras and I both loved the 3's driving dynamics. Acceleration from a stop is comparable to what a high-output V-6 might provide. Passing power is even more impressive, as the electric motor generates the kind of instant torque you might normally associate with a throaty V-8 (that gets about 15 miles per gallon). Steering is expertly tuned for taut handling. However those heavy batteries are arrayed, their weight seems to draw the Model 3 down into the pavement as if magnets were at work. You smile a lot in this car.
Tesla reimagined interior controls in a way that's confounding at first, but promptly becomes intuitive. Example: We drove in rain, and it was frustrating not having the familiar windshield wiper stalk on the steering column, to flick the wipers up with a finger or two when you need to clear excess water. But the same functions reside on a menu on the lower left-hand corner of the giant touch screen, just a couple inches from where your right hand rests on the steering wheel. Once you know where it is, your brain quickly adjusts, and retrains your finger where to reach. It's the same with controls for the radio, climate system, mirror adjusters, and all the rest.
So what's the problem? Two words: the basics. All those production glitches have left some obvious flaws in the fit-and-finish department—one area of car production those dinosaurs in Detroit and Stuttgart have learned to master over the years. In the cabin, for instance, the headliner meshed poorly with neighboring components, protruding at seams that should have been flush. Outside the car, Pras found notable variations in the gaps between body panels that shouldn't have been there.
A Detroit consulting firm named Munro & Associates has been tearing down two Model 3s it purchased, and reporting on its discoveries as it probes Tesla's manufacturing prowess. Strong points, so far: the Model 3's suspension, electronics, and batteries. But the firm said the build quality on the first Tesla it examined was comparable to a Kia from the 1990s. For those who don't get the reference, that's an F.
Tesla has been retooling its production line to fix such problems. That's obviously encouraging, but it also suggests the overall quality of Model 3s on the road will vary sharply, with the earliest models sold being the worst. In the software business, it's considered okay to roll out "beta" versions of software that haven't been completely debugged, as long as you tell users what they're getting. In the car business, that's not okay, because you can't go back and resculpt sheet metal the way you can upgrade software, eliminating prior bugs. Early adopters have essentially gotten an inferior product, compared with later buyers. And they don't get a discount; they just get to brag about getting their cars first.
Some drivers may not care about the gaps between body panels, or a perfectly flush headliner. But these flaws may portend other quality problems buyers will care about—rattles that materialize, parts that malfunction, perhaps even an unusually high rate of recalls. It's pretty cheeky to ask buyers to fork over $56,000 for a car still in beta testing. Credit Musk with bravado.
The Model 3 does have a conventional steering wheel, along with a brake and gas pedal. But there's also a $3,000 option that readies the car for "full self-driving capability … with no action required by the person in the driver's seat." That feature will only arrive, however, when the technology is ready and regulators approve it, which could be years away. By then, hopefully, Tesla will have worked out the kinks.


text: [quote=TripleAlphaProcess] With COVID and From COVID is a huge distinction, there's a reason why that distinction is made and why the official numbers are worded With COVID. I'm not discounting your explanation but it's not the whole story. That 565,000 number includes speculative COVID positive deaths as well as lab verified COVID positives. There are tons of people included in that number who never tested positive for COVID but had any number of symptoms so they are included in the list on pure speculation (that was a huge problem here in NY and we are the leader in COVID deaths). I understand that there is a new ICD-10 code for the provisional count that covers speculative cases but it's not been retroactively applied. So it skews the dataset. For those who did test positive and died... did COVID complicate their other comorbidities? Sure in circumstances, especially in cases like pneumonia it's clear, but in others it's not clear cut and a judgement call and if they put it on the death certificate then it becomes "fact". The death certificate is the final arbiter of cause of death to get included in the 565,000 number. Unfortunately there's too much of a monetary incentive for states and hospitals to include people on that list that are judgement calls or that don't belong there, it's a corrupt dataset. It's too incentive based. I'd be just as concerned with the dataset if they took the opposite approach and penalized states monetarily for COVID deaths (we'd most assuredly have much lower numbers). Any significant external pressure will bias the data. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/948641 "Between March 1, 2020, and January 2, 2021, the United States experienced 2,801,439 deaths, or 522,368 excess deaths. A total 72.4% of these events were attributed to COVID-19." Not all deaths just the excessive deaths. Also, dispute that hospitals had a financial incentives to count COVID deaths inappropriately. It's actually the opposite. If you have to shut down 1/2-3/4 of your hospital because your county or state has a high COVID rate you are losing millions of dollars in revenue. The incentive would be to down play the virus to keep the whole hospital open. https://www.aha.org/issue-brief/2020-06-30-new-aha-report-finds-losses-deepen-hospitals-and-health-systems-due-covid-19#:~:text=The%20COVID%2D19%20pandemic%20continues,toll%20on%20America's%20healthcare%20infrastructure.&text=The%20American%20Hospital%20Association%20(AHA,March%202020%20and%20June%202020. "The report estimates an additional minimum of $120.5 billion in financial losses, due in large part to lower patient volumes, from July 2020 through December 2020, or an average of $20.1 billion per month. These estimates are in addition to the $202.6 billion in losses the AHA estimated between March 2020 and June 2020 in a report released last month. This brings total losses for the nation's hospitals and health systems to at least $323.1 billion in 2020."[/quote]

Follow the steps below to determine how many cubic yards of landscaping material (mulch, rock, etc.) you will need to complete your project.
15' x 12" = 180 sq. ft.
180 ÷ 100 = 1.8 cu. yd.
1.8 cubic yards will be sufficient to cover your flowerbed. To be safe, it's wise to round up to the next whole number, especially if you're buying bagged mulch. See the conversion chart below for bagged materials.
Use the chart below to determine how many bags of material you will need to cover your calculated cubic yards.


If you unequip your attack/defense/other items and then equip movement items (shoes, hyperdrive, ect.), you can move very far, and before you attack you can re-equip your other items, and it wont move you back. Now you can attack with your re-equipped items. Just repeat this on your next turn.
Now you can move really far without sacrificing defense or attack damage. This is also useful if you have only a few movement items (especially hyperdrive), since you are un-equipping it every time you use it, your other characters can use it too.
When you try to pass a difficult bill at the Dark Assembly, the only option normally available to you is to kill all of the opposing senators simply because it's nearly impossible to get a difficult bill passed legally. But who wants to constantly get into fights in which they're massively outnumbered by high-level enemies?
Here's a nice trick to bypass the entire process. Before choosing to begin the vote, bribe a high level senator in the front row. Make absolutely sure he's on your side, then begin the vote. After the vote fails, choose to persuade by force and take a bunch of characters with long Throw distances into the battle. Rather than having to fight off a ton of senators, you can simply throw them onto your mole in the front row! So long as the level of the senator you're throwing is less than the senator doing the catching you'll be fine, and after throwing a couple of senators at the mole, the combined levels will be so high that you won't need to worry about levels at all.
Repeat this process until all of the opposing senators are gone, and you avoid having to fight any of them. This is an excellent, cheap way to unlock a lot of bills well before you should be able to do so.
To level your weapons faster, go to the level Terrible Cold in the area Jotunheim (it should be the one with invincibility on all the panels except for one). Make sure you have a character with a high amount of counters(the ninja class or the majin class) a strong person who could kill a level 100 person, and the person you want to master the weapon. First, start by throwing all the enemies into each other. Then when they are all combined, have someone pick the enemy that you just made and hold em. Next, have the ninja or the majin and the person you want to level up come out and have them beat each other up. If you did it right, your team members should be beating each other up with regular and counter attacks. Just do this for as long as you want. Each hit raises their weapon mastery. To speed up the process you could go to the item world and get the armsmaster specialists and attach them to a weapon, so your character levels faster. When you are done levelling, kill the enemy that you were holding.
If a character is about to attack an enemy, you can move other characters around the attacker and you will preform a Team Attack as you normally would. Execute the attack then move the cursor over the supporting attackers and press circle. The character will move back where it was. You will be able to move the character normally as well as preform a normal attack (or a skill).
This is an easy way to squeeze more damage out of attacks without having to waste turns.

Last Chapter: Be sure you unlocked Etna's Chamber at the start of Chapter 1. Read each memory of hers at the end of each chapter until the endgame.
Beat the last stage of Alt. Netherworld.
In order to open Etna's Room, you must find two secret button's in Laharl's Castle. The first is found behind the Throne and the second is found inside the Skull that is seated on the RosenQueen's Store Counter. Once you have pressed these two buttons, go to the room where Longinus, Ghoss, a prinny, and Gargo hang out. Press X in the corner behind the prinny to uncover the door.
This can be done at any time: Get any character, purchase or get equips/weapons that add HP (Health) and make sure you have a good amound of money. Equip, then un-equip the chosen items, and re-equip them again. After doing so, the selected character will end up with it's original HP and have the MAX HP from the equipment boost. If you can see, there is missing HP. Go to the hospital, pay the person to heal your character, and it will add HP Points into the total. Redo these steps and get your points in the hospital higher and higher. Eventually, the hospital rewards you with an item for the amount of points recieved. (This cheat is able to work with HP, SP and Deaths. HP = HP Equips, SP = SP Equips, Deaths = All-around statted item). When you get your reward, add it or swap it with another HP equip that is lower statted. Eventually, you'll be able to recieve equips that add much needed Health, SP or stats.

There's a place for rock and roll and it's not on an anchored boat.
Salt water boaters often find themselves anchored or on a mooring. There's a swell, a surge from the swell or just enough breeze to create some waves, all just enough to rock the boat. That rock can be strong enough to be uncomfortable. It is hard to sleep with a grip on the mattress, and an evening on the deck or in the cockpit isn't very comfortable.
A flopper stopper is the solution. I've tried several types over the years, and settled on one that works across the board – the Roll-X™ from Forespar. The same system has dampened the roll quite well on my power boats (a Grand Banks 42 and a 28' Wellcraft) and my sail boats (a Baltic 52, and a Soverel 33), as well as other vessels.
The Roll-X stabilizer consists of two stainless plates, about 12.5 by 40 inches, hinged together, and supported by a single line attached to a basic harness. It works simply. On the down roll, the unit folds together on the hinges, and drops deeper. On the up roll it unfolds, creating about seven square feet of resistance – sufficient to dampen a dramatic roll, completely quash a smaller wake or wind wave. And, the Roll-X has winglets to minimize the "skate" fore and aft while down, making the ride even more.
Roll-X stabilizer is most efficient when used with a pole to increase the leverage (one comes with the kit). You can see how on the trawler below.
Many sailors use the poles they've already got – spinnaker pole, a heavy whisker pole and often the boom. Swing it out on a halyard or topping lift, and couple of lines for guys and the crew is going enjoy a lot more stable time at anchor.
Candidly, the Roll-X stabilizer works pretty well as a flopper stopper with no poles, although using two (one on each side) helps make up for the lack of leverage. They are simply lowered over the side, down six or eight feet, and made fast to the cleats nearest the beam of the boat. Yes, we were in a hurry, or just too lazy to rig properly. They do work better poled out, and you must be sure to hoist the stabilizers in before weighing anchor and sailing away.
You can be sure that you'll be well rested because you've experienced a lot less rock and roll.

USD Gans As Fed Points To More Tightening
By OctaFX
The Federal Open Markets Commission (FOMC) raised interest rates by a quarter percentage point to 2 – 2.25%. This was the third rate hike this year and the eighth in the tightening cycle that started in 2015. The committee said that it remained supportive of more rate hikes despite the challenges that lie ahead. The yield curve is edging closer to inversion, the trade war is going on, and the GDP is expected to start slowing down. The forward guidance by the Fed is for another rate hike in December, three in 2019, and one in 2020.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) left interest rates unchanged at 1.75% and indicated that this level could remain through 2019 and into 2020. The bank last raised interest rates in 2016. In an official statement, the bank said that while the economy remained strong, the low interest rate policies will continue to provide the necessary support particularly for the weaker Kiwi, which helps to prop up the exports industry.
It will be another significant day for the USD as traders wait for crucial economic data. Today, the government will release the final reading for GDP. The first reading showed that the economy grew by 4.1%, followed by 4.2% in the second reading. Today, traders expect the number to show that the economy rose by 4.2%. In addition, the jobless claims numbers, and durable goods order numbers will be released.
The Canadian dollar fell sharply against the USD after the US sent signals that it will move ahead with a new NAFTA deal without Canada. Donald Trump said that he turned down a meeting request from Trudeau. Canadian officials responded saying that no such meeting was planned in the first place.
Last week, the USD/CAD pair reached a double bottom at around the 1.2880 level. Since then, it has been moving higher and in the Asian session today, it reached a high of 1.3045. The current price is between the 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci Retracement level, with the 14 and 28-day EMA showing signs that it will keep moving higher. In the short term, it will likely test the 1.3063 level where it will find some resistance. It will then likely continue moving higher.
This month, the EUR/USD pair has moved up, establishing a channel of diagonal support and resistant points as shown in the hourly chart below. The pair was little moved after the Fed decision yesterday. It now remains at the lower part of the channel. A high volume below the support level will likely lead to more downward movements for the pair. The alternative is that the pair will likely move to the upper side of the channel and test the resistance at 1.1820.
In the Asian session today, the USD/JPY pair reached the important level of 113.18. This was an important resistance level. As expected, the pair then started moving slightly lower and is now trading at 112.73. Today, the pair will likely remain around this level as bulls and bears compete on the next direction. A strong break above the 112.73 will see it test the 114 level
