Stuck with something in your Google Drive? Below follow the most frequently asked questions about Google Drive.
Google Drive is a product of Google apps that allows for real time collaboration through documents, spreadsheets, drawings, presentations, forms and drawings as well as a platform for file storage and sharing.
What does Google Drive have to offer?
Google Drive encompasses a suite of productivity editors (which were previously called Google Docs before a rebranding) as well as cloud and local storage space for all types of files.
What can I do with Google Drive?
Google Drive can be used on the desktop, mobile devices and on the web. Full editing capabilities are available for Google type files (Sheets, Docs, Drawings, Slides, Fusion Tables, Forms) on the mobile and web and limited editing of Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint . In order to edit other types of files they must be opened in the respective program, however, the file can still be stored in Google Drive.
Example: You have a Word document that you would like to edit. You can edit his in Microsoft Word on your desktop computer and this will be synced to Google Drive on the web. Alternatively you can make simple edits in the Chrome web browser in conjunction with the Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides extension or the Android Google Drive or iOS Google Drive apps .
What is the difference between Google Drive on consumer account and Google Drive on an G Suite account?
Google Drive on a consumer account is free. Google gives users 15GB free to share between Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. Google Drive on a G Suite account is not free and is paid for per user. Users on a G Suite Basic account have 30GB to share between Drive and Gmail and G Suite Business provides unlimited storage.
Google Drive's main competitors are Dropbox and Microsoft SkyDrive. The services are somewhat similar but Google Drive stands apart with its integration with other Google services. In terms of space, Dropbox offers 2GB free with the option of up with 16GB free when users refer new users. Skydrive offers 7GB space for free. Dropbox does not offer a web based editor while Skydrive offers Microsoft Office web apps.
How much does Google Drive cost?
Consumer accounts are free for up to 15GB of shared storage across Gmail, Drive, and Google Photos, but you can buy additional Google Drive storage through various pricing structures. G Suite Basic users can buy the same storage individually, or the domain admin can buy storage centrally, or if use use G Suite Business you get unlimited storage. For more information on the storage options available for G Suite see Options for adding Drive storage.
What type of uptime guarantee does Google have for Google Drive?
Google guarantees that a 99.9% uptime for G Suite users of Google Drive.
Data is extremely secure. Google houses the data encrypted in their servers. This means they cannot "see" your data and there are not Google employers looking through your information. Google's algorithms scan data to optimize use across multiple products. For example, the detailed search capabilities of Google Mail and Drive are dependent on Google's algorithms scanning the content of your files.
Can I develop my own applications using drive?
You can. For more information about developing Apps that work with Google Drive check out the Google Drive SDK: https://developers.google.com/drive/.
Depending on how you are accessing your files, there are two ways to share files. If you are trying to share a file from your desktop, you right click on the file, choose Google Drive and then click Share. If you are trying to share a file from the web interface you can select the file from the Drive home and click on the Share icon, open the file and click on the blue Share button in the upper right, or click on File>Share. You can share your files with other Google Apps users explicitly or share a file with anybody who has access to the link to the file. Each file has distinct sharing permissions that can be changed at any time by the owner of the file.
Can you share documents with anyone, even if they don't use Google Drive?
You can. In the sharing options, simply choose "Anyone with the link" and share the link that is generated by Google.
How do you work offline?
For more about offline access of Drive files, see the help article. In general, some Google Docs type files can be edited offline when enabled but some cannot. If you use Drive for desktop you will always have access to all files and can edit the files in their respective programs.
There is a Google Drive app for Android in the Google Play Store and iOS in the Apple App Store that by default does not store a copy of the files on your mobile device. However, you can choose which files you would like to sync with each device.
Security - How safe is my data from hacking? Is it encrypted?
All data is extremely safe. Your data is encrypted by Google's security measures and access to your files is dependent on the strength of your password naturally. Google offers a second security layer called two step verification to keep people from accessing your Google account on unapproved devices.
Are their any tips for how you should you best organise your Google Drive?
Each user can organize their files and folders how they see fit. The concept of Network Drive doesn't exist with Google Drive. Therefore, organization is in the hands of the user for what works best for them. For example, user 1 and user 2 can both have access to the same file but can organize the file independently of each other. User 1 can have the file in Folder1 while User 1 can have the file in Folder2 without any duplication of files or loss of productivity.
Is there a difference between Google Docs and Google Drive?
Technically, Google Docs refers to the text editor within Google Drive. Before Google Drive, the term Google Docs was used to refer to all of the online editors of Google type files (Documents, Spreadsheets, Drawings, Presentations). Google rebranded Google Docs as simply editors under Google Drive. The editors are now have different names (Docs, Sheets, Drawings, Slides).
What is the difference between Google Keep and Google Drive?
Google Keep is a Google product for making lists and taking notes. It is currently being implemented as a Google Drive app.
Can I switch between multiple Google Drive accounts?
Yes, but consider sharing files between accounts before switching between Google Drive accounts. Storage space only goes against the quota of the owner of the file.
Should you use folders or just perform Google search on unstructured documents?
Using folders is a much better option for keeping things organized. However, Google search within Drive is robust.
Can I create files from templates in Google Drive?
Yes. Steegle has a useful create from template feature.
What if I use all of my allocated space? Can I buy more?
Yes, but this is at the discretion of the Google Apps domain admin. For free consumer accounts, just click on the upgrade storage button in the bottom left of the Drive home (Prices here). For Google apps customers see this help article about upgrading storage.
Can Google Drive be used as a web based document management system?
No. Try using Google Sites. The closest you can get using Google Drive is using shared folders.
Can I scan a business card using Google Drive?
Yes. Using the Drive app find the three dot button and choose Add new. Then choose Scan. This will open your camera and scan an image of whatever you take a picture of. It will automatically be cropped and saved as a PDF in your Drive.


Are your firearms claims overvalued? | Caffery, Oubre, Campbell & Garrison, L.L.P.
Are your firearms claims overvalued?
On behalf of Caffery, Oubre, Campbell & Garrison, L.L.P. posted in Property Insurance Issues on Thursday, December 11, 2014.
For insurance companies, when dealing with claims processing, one area that can be problematic is the valuing of some items of personal property that policy holders may claim as part of the damage inventory when the suffer a loss.
Coverage disputes may cause many bad faith insurance lawsuits, and part of the dispute may include valuation issues with unique or specialized items of the policyholder. One item of potentially high value is firearms. Many policyholders in Louisiana own guns, or in many cases, more than one gun.
According to group, gun ownership is very widespread in the U.S., and that the rate is 101.05 guns per 100 people suggests that many people who suffer some insurance loss may make a claim involving more than one gun.
And when people say Americans love their guns, it is more than a figure of speech. The emotional attachments many people have towards their guns exist for many reasons. Some have had firearms handed down from parents or grandparents, and this sentimental bond with grandpa's rifle or shotgun can lead to a disconnect between the value they place on it and the actual value.
One company found that firearms and ammunition are often overvalued on claims by as much as 126 percent. This can trigger a dispute with a policyholder who believes his or her gun is worth far more than an adjuster is offering.
For any insurer with the potential for gun claims, proper and accurate documentation of valuation is the best way to defuse such disputes. If the misapprehensions regarding guns, that the all appreciate and that they are likely to be worth more than retail, should be tempered during the policy writhing process.
If the firearm is special or truly unique and possesses genuine value, it should be identified and appraised at the outset of the policy. And all of your adjusters should be trained to understand how to properly value firearms and ammo to ensure accurate claims processing and the avoidance of unnecessary litigation.

Florida Severe Weather & Boating
Lightning On The Water
With an average of 1.4 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes each year, no other state in the country experiences more lightning strikes than Florida. Lightning is very dangerous and can travel as far as 10 miles from a thunderstorm! So while it may not be raining at your location, lightning can still reach you. The key to remaining safe from a lightning strike is to keep an eye to the sky and watch for darkening skies on the horizon along with distant rumbles of thunder.
The vast majority of lightning injuries and deaths on boats occur on small boats with NO cabin. It is crucial to listen to the weather when you are boating. If thunderstorms are forecast, don't go out. If you are out on the water and skies are threatening, get back to land and find a safe building or safe vehicle.
Boats with cabins offer a safer, but not perfect, environment. Safety is increased further if the boat has a properly installed lightning protection system. If you are inside the cabin, stay away from metal and all electrical components. STAY OFF THE RADIO UNLESS IT IS AN EMERGENCY!
If you are caught in a thunderstorm on a small boat, drop anchor and get as low as possible. Large boats with cabins, especially those with lightning protection systems properly installed, or metal marine vessels are relatively safe. Remember to stay inside the cabin and away from any metal surfaces. be sure to put on your Life Jacket.
Year-round warm weather and abundant sunshine attract millions of people to Florida to dive, snorkel, swim, ski, fish, cruise, or sail each year. Fair weather and fine seas treat Florida beachgoers to very agreeable conditions most of the time. However, weather and water can change rapidly. Dangerous rip currents, waves, lightning, and waterspouts are among the marine hazards facing anyone who enjoys Florida's beaches. Rip currents are especially dangerous to swimmers because they can pull unprepared swimmers away from shore and into deeper offshore waters.
Waterspouts and Thunderstorms
Waterspouts are tornadoes over water. But scientific work over the last 30 or so years has led to a more complicated picture with waterspouts differing in some ways from tornadoes over land, especially large ones. Waterspouts and all the different kinds of tornadoes have a similar basic structure with air moving upward. At the ground or ocean surface, winds are rushing faster and faster as they swirl into the vortex and then upward. Often with both tornadoes and waterspouts, the vortex is seen coming down from the cloud, but not obviously touching the ground or ocean. Such vortices that don't seem to touch the ground are called "funnels" or "funnel clouds." Full Article
Before you go boating, get a marine weather forecast. The National Weather Service issues marine broadcasts when thunderstorms are in an area, which includes a waterspout watch or warning. Boaters should never go out when thunderstorm conditions exist because of the dangers of wind, lightning and waterspouts. While you are boating, listen to NOAA Weather Radio which will provide the most current weather warnings. If you are already out and hear a warning or see black clouds piling up, head to port or safe shelter as quickly as possible
If you do get caught in a storm, or otherwise spot a waterspout, try to get away from it by driving your boat at right angles to it. If it is bearing down on you, put on your lifejacket if you aren't already wearing one. Then, try to protect yourself from any flying debris, which tends to do the most damage.
Waterspouts occur more frequently in the Florida Keys than anywhere in the world.Waters around the Keys, especially from Marathon past Key West on westward to the Dry Tortugas, probably see 400 or 500 waterspouts a year. Since they are so common, most go unreported unless they cause damage.
Any boat in the water should be secured in a snug harbor (don't even think about riding out the storm at sea unless you're the skipper of an aircraft carrier). The trick is deciding which harbors will be still be snug if a hurricane comes ashore and which will be vulnerable. Storm surge—high water—is a major consideration. A storm surge of 10' or more is common in a hurricane, so a seawall or sandy spit that normally protects a harbor may not offer any protection in a hurricane. Crowded, rock strewn harbors are picturesque, but they may not be the best place to keep your boat in a storm. Rocks are hard on boats, should yours break loose, and in a crowded harbor the chance of another boat breaking loose and banging into your boat is that much greater. Finally, what is the bottom of the harbor like? If you plan to anchor, check your charts to see how much water your boat will be anchored in. The best anchoring is usually in sand, followed by clay, hard mud, shells, broken shells, and soft mud. Also, water can sometimes be blown out of the harbor, leaving boats stranded briefly. If this happens, your boat would rather settle onto anything but rocks. More Information

2019 - Donna May Kimmaliardjuk, Artsci'11
2018 - Elamin Abdelmahmoud, Artsci'11
Elamin Abdelmahmoud believes that for years everyone thought social media might be the biggest challenge for media organizations. Now, he sees social media is the biggest opportunity. He's proving this theory as social media editor at BuzzFeed Canada and BuzzFeed News, the leading independent digital media company worldwide. As a regular commentator for CBC's The National, Mr. Abdelmahmoud continues to be an influencer and has a growing group of dedicated social media followers.
Mr. Abdelmahmoud's career in media has its roots at Queen's. He learned the ropes in delivering news as a writer for the Queen's Journal and news director at CFRC Radio. It was only natural that after graduating he would find a home for his talents first at the CBC, and then as an online producer with TVO's flagship news magazine, The Agenda with Steve Paikin and social media specialist for current affairs and documentaries.
As a student, Mr. Abdelmahmoud was involved in the Model UN in 2006, the Co-Chair of ThankQ in 2009-10, and MiniU/Spring Reunion volunteer in 2011. As an alumnus, he was named Vice-President, Communication for the QUAA Toronto Branch and worked diligently to maintain membership engagement. In 2014, he participated as moderator at Principal Daniel Woolf's panel discussion on mental health, and in 2016 he sat on the social media panel at the Alumni Volunteer Summit, where he provided insight and advice on best practices for leveraging social networks.
2017 - CleanSlate: Taylor Mann, Artsci'14, Scott Mason, Artsci'15, Oleg Baranov, Sc'15
Turning a great idea into reality requires innovation and ambition. Taylor Mann, Artsci'14, Scott Mason, Artsci'15, and Oleg Baranov, Sci'15, demonstrated these traits when they founded their company, CleanSlate UV, a potentially life-saving device for infant care in hospitals.
The idea came from a friend of Taylor Mann's, a nurse who explained to Mr. Mann that newborn infants in hospitals are at risk from the smallest exposure to germs found on items brought in by visitors and patients, such as cell phones. Mr. Mann, Mr. Mason, and Mr. Baranov set out to create a device that would ensure that phones pose one less risk to an infant's health.
CleanSlate UV developed an innovative solution that uses UV-C light to rapidly sanitize cell phones, tablets, and other devices by destroying microorganisms. Not only does this process kill cold and flu viruses, but also successfully attacks a multitude of hospital pathogens, the dangerous superbugs that concern most hospitals.
CleanSlate UV, a product of the Queen's Dunin-Deshpande Innovation Centre, received an award of $657,000, a second-prize finish in 43North, a U.S. - based business competition. They have already sold the product to hospitals in Ontario and New York State.
"We wanted to do something that was beneficial to the world. We didn't want to build another app. We wanted to do something that would have a real-world application," says Mr. Mann.
CleanSlate UV has already made a positive impact on the world. With its potential yet to be realized, its founders are certainly ones to watch.
Taylor Mann, Scott Mason, and Oleg Baranov were honoured at the QUAA Alumni Awards Gala on April 8, 2017.
2016 - Michele Romanow, Sc'07, MBA'08
As a passionate and creative person who has launched four successful companies before turning 30, Michele Romanow, Sc'07, MBA'08, is definitely "one to watch."
While a student at Queen's, Ms. Romanow established The Tea Room, located in Beamish-Munro Hall. The zero-consumer-waste coffee shop is still going strong on campus and is a great place for students and faculty to connect over an exotic tea or cappuccino.
After graduating from Queen's, Ms. Romanow moved on from the café scene to e-commerce. Her venture, Buytopia, an online service that allows shoppers the chance to get 50-90 per cent discounts on products and services for a very limited time, has grown to 2.5 million subscribers and ranked number three on the list of fastest growing Canadian companies. She is on the list of 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada and ranked among the top 20 most disruptive Millennials on a Mission according to Forbes.
Ms. Romanow's latest venture, SnapSaves, is a mobile couponing app that gives shoppers cash back when they buy certain items in the grocery store. The American corporate giant Groupon purchased SnapSaves in June, 2014 and relaunched it in the U.S. as Snap by Groupon.
Most recently, Ms. Romanow was named the latest dragon for the popular CBC show, Dragon's Den, where she will provide input and advice to an important demographic – Millennial consumers.
Ms. Romanow continues to be a great ambassador for Queen's and finds time in her busy life to return to campus and talk with students about entrepreneurship.
Michele Romanow was honoured at the QUAA Alumni Awards Gala on April 2, 2016.
2015 - Matthew Lato, Sc'06, PhD'10
Dr. Matthew Lato graduated in 2006 with an Honours degree, BSc. ENG, in Mineral and Energy Exploration. Following graduation, Dr. Lato put his passion for research to work to pursue a PhD. Shortly after receiving his PhD, Dr. Lato accepted a position with the prestigious Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), in Norway. There he made his mark on the geotechnical community, receiving accolades for his work on everything from underground excavations to slope stability projects.
As an Adjunct Associate Professor at Queen's, Dr. Lato is a source of encouragement and inspiration to his students and takes the time to ensure the material he teaches is interesting and engaging.
Dr. Lato is also founder and owner of RockSense GeoSolutions Incorporated, which has recently been acquired by BCG Engineering. In the industry, Dr. Lato has worked around the globe and has proven that he's not only a talented researcher but an exceptional engineer as well. His achievements in both industry and academia are incredible, considering he's only 29 years old. With so much of his career still ahead of him, Dr. Lato is definitely one to watch.
Dr. Matthew Lato was honoured at the QUAA Alumni Awards Gala on March 28, 2015.

This great free entry expo may be a few months away, however the enthusiastic approach by the industry's biggest suppliers means this major industry event is going to be bigger and better than ever.
With so many suppliers assembled in the one place, you can be sure of catching a really great price and finance deal, while there's plenty of networking opportunities for you and great food and entertainment for the whole family.
If you're a fleet operator, asset manager, agricultural contractor, local government manager or a contractor, there's no better way to keep up to date with the latest productivity tools. Many companies will also have their factory specialists on site to assist you with any questions, while the http://constructionsales.com demonstration area provides a fantastic opportunity to test equipment before you buy.
Mecalac is building its own demonstration area to show its revolutionary MCR series convertible excavator. By pressing a button this machine converts from a mini excavator to a track loader to a forklift, grader and even a telehandler.
Wedgelock, one of the industry's longest established designers and manufacturers of couplers and attachments will be there with its range of I-Lock couplers.
STG Global has joined our team of sponsors and will be showing their vacuum trucks, which feature state-of-the-art vacuum technology that helps to rapidly load and unload liquid slurry. Their compact, heavy-duty vacuum system design makes them a favourite in their category.
The Expo is well supported by media. KahChi Liew from Earthmoving Equipment Magazine said, "Being involved in the media within the earthmoving industry, I have the opportunity to attend most of the industry trade shows.
"I am yet to attend an event in Australia that rivals the professionalism and well organised structure of Diesel Dirt & Turf.
Other media supporters include the Gold Sponsor, http://Machines4U.com.au, Earthmovers & Excavators Magazine, Australian Earthmoving, Deals on Wheels, and http://Constructionsales.com.

The organisers are particularly thankful to Digga who is sponsoring a fundraising golf day on Friday, 15th March at the championship Twin Creeks Golf Club, with all proceeds going to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
The 2018 DD&T golf day was a massive success, which was booked out well before the date. Watch for further details of this great event if you want to join one of the industry's top networking events of the year.


My dream job would to own my own photography business again and be able to fully devote myself. I had began that endeavor here before my cancer diagnosis but got scared after my diagnosis and gave up. Dumb decision. It has allowed me to think more on what direction I'd like to take my photography and while I haven't settled fully, I do know I am not cut out for family/kids photography. I love the idea of engagement, senior, boudoir and commercial. We shall see what Vegas brings and if I take that leap again.
Hmm….I think that would be a toss up between my photos/scrapbooks and my cameras. One is a record of all the wonderful memories that will far outlast me and the other is what allows me to record those memories.
Does it sound funny to say that I hope it is the upcoming one to Creech AFB, NV? I say that because we are likely to be there a very long time and it always make life smoother when you enjoy the duty station. Otherwise, I'd have to say here at Eglin AFB, FL. We've been here almost 5 years and have really planted roots. The beach is (was…oil spill) gorgeous but I truly think it is the people that have made it for me.
Cleaning the bathrooms, hence why it is Bryan's job when he is home and I put it off as long as possible when he's not.
Be true to yourself. Do not conform, don't try to change your beliefs for someone else and don't try to keep up with the Joneses.
Oh, and don't open credit card accounts, they are the spawn of satan :). There is something to be said for being debt free.
I hate cleaning the bathrooms too! I hate cleaning the dog kennel even more, so the hubs and I have a deal: I clean the bathroom and he cleans the kennel.
My husband's and my best friend couple got orders to Eglin. Good to hear it's a good station. We are going to miss them a ton, but we have orders too, so I suppose it's a sad story on both parts, plus it's part of the military life. Enjoy NV!
I'm okay with cleaning the bathroom when it's just me… but when my husband is home, well, boys and the toilet are gross!
Thanks for participating and I hope you'll join us next week! I also hope your next duty station is the best!
We used to have people TDY to Holloman AFB from Creech AFB. Mostly maintainers coming to learn new techniques for working on the F-22. I haven't seen Eglin yet, but my husbands uncle is stationed out there.

Q: .htaccess RewriteCond not working / being ignored I'm trying to set the .htaccess file in my cpanel shared hosting so that all URLs which don't exist get redirected as 301 redirects to the homepage (doing this for a specific reason).

Is International Business Machines Corp. Stock A Buy?
By Leo Sun Fool.com
Shares of IBM have fallen 16% over the past 12 months, underperforming the S&P 500's 9% gain. But after that dip, many contrarian investors might be wondering if IBM is a worthy long-term buy. In previous articles, I highlighted IBM's main strengths and weaknesses. Today, we'll weigh them against each other to decide if IBM is worth buying.
Source: Wikimedia Commons, Mark Ahsmann.
What the valuations tell usOver the past 12 months, IBM's trailing P/E has fluctuated between 11.5 and 15.5. As of this writing, the stock trades for 13 times earnings. This makes it fundamentally cheaper than industry peers Microsoft and Accenture, which trade for 17 and 19 times earnings, respectively. It is slightly pricier than Hewlett-Packard, which has a P/E of 12.5. However, IBM still trades at a discount to the S&P 500, which trades at 19 times trailing earnings.
In terms of long-term earnings growth, expectations aren't high. IBM's 5-year PEG ratio, based on Thomson Reuters estimates, is the same as Microsoft's at 2.2. Accenture and HP have slightly cheaper PEG ratios of 1.9 and 2.1, respectively. Nonetheless, those ratios suggest that none of these tech giants will report explosive earnings growth anytime soon.
Potential catalystsIBM's most important asset is its growing cloud-based business, which increased its revenue 60% year over year to $7 billion in 2014.
In 2013, IBM acquired cloud computing infrastructure company SoftLayer Technologies for $2 billion. Last year, it bought cloud security firms CrossIdeas and Lighthouse Security Group. It also committed $1.2 billion to expand its cloud presence with the formation of the IBM Watson Group, which will explore new data analytics uses for its Watson AI. CEO Ginni Rometty believes that Watson could evolve into a$10 billion business within the next decade.
IBM also signed an enterprise partnership with Apple. IBM will launch native apps for businesses and optimized cloud services on iOS, which will be preloaded on iPads for sales to enterprise clients.
Last but not least, IBM recently signed a series of major "hybrid cloud" deals with Lufthansa, ABN Amro, and WPP. Hybrid cloud installations add cloud-based features to existing hardware, bridging the gap between private and public clouds -- an ideal choice for large companies which don't want to move all of their data off-site. Gartner estimates that half of all U.S. companies will use hybrid cloud installations by 2017.

Potential pitfallsDespite IBM's promising growth in the cloud, this business area still only accounted for 7.5% of its 2014 revenue.
Unfortunately, IBM's companywide sales have fallen for 11 consecutive quarters. Last quarter, revenue in the technology services, business services, software, and systems/technology businesses all declined year-over-year. IBM blamed those declines on sluggish demand across the software sector, weak client spending, the divestment of lower margin businesses, and a strong dollar reducing its overseas revenue.
A core problem that has haunted IBM was former CEO Sam Palmisano's promise of doubling annual EPS from $10.01 in 2009to $20 by 2015. To reach that goal, IBM aggressively bought back stock (partially financed by debt), dumped lower margin businesses, slashed jobs, and failed to invest enough in higher-margin sectors like cloud services. That arguably myopic strategy caused IBM's top line growth to stall out.
In January, CFO Martin Schroeter stated that IBM will spend the least amount on buybacks in 2015 that it has in 11 years, causing buybacks to be less of an earnings driver this year. On one hand, that decreases IBM's slavish dependence on buybacks. But on the other hand, IBM will need its core businesses to bounce back and cloud revenues to grow faster to pick up the slack.
The verdictIBM is clearly a company in transition. Big Blue languished for too long under Palmisano's furniture-burning strategies, but at least Rometty now nurtures the growth of a few green shoots. IBM's downside is likely limited, since it now trades at just 9 times forward earnings, but it doesn't have much upside potential either.
However, IBM still pays a decent 2.8% forward dividend yield, which makes it ideal for conservative income investors. However, investors looking for mature tech stocks with higher growth potential should probably consider Intel or Microsoft -- which both have more visible catalysts on the horizon -- instead.

One and a half years after the launch of the European Fund for Strategic Investment (EFSI) – a three years initiative promoted by the Juncker Commission and managed by the European Investment Bank to boost new investments in Europe worth EUR 315 billion – both institutions are eager to celebrate the successes and to highlight investments facilitated through the fund and a few selected showcase projects.
In relation to the announcements that a large share of the EU's financial resources is to be climate-related, the EFSI is supposed to mobilise additional investments with climate and resource efficiency objectives, which constitutes a unique opportunity to foster the much-needed transformation of the EU's energy systems.
What is European Fund for Strategic Investment (EFSI)?
The EFSI portfolio shows a clear effort in encouraging renewables and energy efficiency projects. Whereas the share of energy efficiency and renewable energy investments in the EFSI is relatively high (around 30%), all energy efficiency investments happen in just three countries, the UK, France and Finland; and more than 50% of all investments into renewable energy take place in two countries only, the UK and Belgium.
And yet a concerning portion of the investments still supports fossil fuel projects.
A 15 per cent of the EFSI energy sector support was related to gas infrastructure, mostly transmission and distribution adding up to EUR 1.5 billion investments into fossil fuel infrastructure. These operations were approved without being scrutinized on the merit of their compliance with the EU 2030 and 2050 climate and energy frameworks. This is of particular concern as the EFSI regulation already explicitly requires alignment with EU's long-term climate goals.
The EFSI legislation is currently being reviewed, aiming at prolonging its lifetime until 2020. As a flagship initiative of the European Union, the EFSI should set a positive trend and clear fossil fuel projects off its agenda altogether. Instead, the EFSI should catalyse the transition away from fossil fuels and towards 100% renewables and fully energy efficient economies.
Earlier this month, the United Nations Environment Program released its second annual report on the theme 'Sustainable Finance - From Momentum to Transformation'. The report shows that momentum for reshaping the global financial system has grown, but that much more needs to be done to ensure it funds an "inclusive, prosperous and environmentally sound future"

'We Will Form An alliance With Farmers And Poor': Congress Leader Ajay Kumar Lallu On UP Polls
The Congress will contest all 403 Uttar Pradesh Assembly seats and the party's CM candidate will be decided by the party high command, UPCC chief Ajay Kumar Lallu said
Congress leader Ajay Kumar Lallu (C) claimed that the party's voteshare in Uttar Pradesh has been on the rise -
Updated: 20 Jul 2021 10:11 pm
Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) chief Ajay Kumar Lallu is in the thick of action as far as the Congress party's efforts to forge a revival in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2022 Assembly elections are concerned. He spoke to Syed Kamran in the context of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's visit to the state to kick off the Congress's election campaign. Excerpts:
Q) In view of the 2022 Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, all political parties are finalising their strategies. How does the Congress plan to fight this battle?
In UP, our numbers might be less in the Assembly, but we have emerged as the strongest Opposition on the ground. Under the leadership of Priyanka Gandhi ji, we are constantly fighting on the streets over basic issues: law and order, women's safety, unemployment, farmers' crisis, etc. We even took to the streets against Covid mismanagement and CAA-NRC. Inflation is one of the biggest issues facing us now. I am very happy to tell you that over one lakh Congress workers courted arrest, over 20,000 workers have been jailed for three days to three months fighting against the government's repression. To fight for justice for the daughters of Hathras, Unnao, Shahjahanpur or the tribals, Priyankaji herself took to the roads. We also did kisan mahapanchayats for raising the issues of the farmers.
The Congress has been continuously engaged in strengthening its organisation and you can see in 840 blocks, we had 8,135 nyaya panchayats. The constitution of 59,000 gram sabhas has just started and today the party is working strongly as an organisation in UP.
Q) How many seats will the party contest?
We will fight on all 403 seats.
Q) Who will be the Congress' chief ministerial face? Priyanka Gandhi? Or will the party contest elections without a CM face?
This will be decided by the central leadership.
Q) So, it's not decided yet?
They have to decide. The decision is made at the CWC level. It's the right of the party president to decide the CM face.
Q) Some party leaders like Sri Prakash Jaiswal, Praveen Singh Aron, Zafar Ali Naqvi and Nirmal Khatri can hardly be seen on the ground…
A couple of days back when Priyanka Gandhi visited Lakhimpur, Zafar Ali Naqvi was present there. Coming to Bareilly, Praveen Singh Aron himself staged a protest against rising fuel prices recently. As far as Sri Prakash Jaiswal and Nirmal Khatri are concerned, both are constantly engaged in strengthening the party. They are participating in various party programmes and working their fullest.
Q) Prakash Jaiswal seemed missing during Priyanka Gandhi's Lucknow visit, any particular reason?
He wasn't well and he already called to intimate us that had he been fit, he would definitely have come.
Q) The Congress's voteshare has continuously gone down in the state, it has dipped close to about 6 per cent. Who do you think is responsible for this?
I do not agree with your views, I believe you should change your perception about it. The Congress voteshare is on the rise…we came second in five out of nine Assembly bypolls. We polled over 1 crore votes in zila panchayat elections. So, tell me, is that a decrease or increase? In fact, our voteshare is continuously increasing while that of other parties is continuously falling.
Q) For how many seats have the names of candidates been finalised?
The process is still under way. It will be decided by the party's central election committee.
Q) Are there any talks of alliance with any small or big political parties in the state?
No. It's very clear that the Congress will form an alliance with the poor, the farmers, the youth, the citizens. We will contest firmly on the strength of the organisation.
Q) What's your opinion about the new entrant, Aam Aadmi Party? They have also raised several issues concerning citizens.
See, last time when the Assembly elections were held, over 300 parties contested. In a democracy, everyone has the right to contest.
Q) Two BSP stalwarts from Ambedkar Nagar, Ram Achal Rajbhar and Lalji Verma, were expelled from the BSP. Did they try to get in touch with the Congress or vice versa?
Can't disclose everything. Let a few things remain confidential.
Q) How do you see the role of SP as the main Opposition party?
The SP can nowhere be seen on the roads. They didn't even stand for the basic issues of the public. Recently, whatever happened with the Samajwadi sisters in Lakhimpur, their party leaders didn't even stand with them. It was Priyanka Gandhi ji who went to meet them. These are the values and beliefs of the Congress. We don't see parties; we fight to protect the interests and dignity of the people.
Q) What's your opinion of those who switch parties, like Annu Tandon and Jitin Prasada?
This is nothing new. The ones who were given everything by the party betrayed the party.
Q) When is Priyanka Gandhi scheduled to shift her base to Lucknow? How many new cadre does the Congress aim to connect with before the elections?
She's mostly in Lucknow with the people of the state.
Thousands are joining the party every day. I think Congress is the party with the highest new membership in the last few days.
Q) Will Rahul Gandhi be seen campaigning for the party in the upcoming polls?
Of course, he will.
Q) Will Rahul Gandhi again contest from Amethi in 2024?
This is to be decided by the central leadership.
Q) Recently, reports surfaced that Prashant Kishor may join the Congress. Will he have some sort of role in UP too?
As of now he isn't in the party, nor has he yet taken the membership of the party, so it is not right to discuss him.
Q) Noman Masood recently left the Congress to join RLD. You spoke of how the Congress came second in many bypoll seats, he was one of those. He also came second position in the 2017 assembly elections too. What do you think about his move?
The biggest issues in UP today are women's safety, unemployment, inflation and Covid management. We must get the government to work towards arranging for medicines, ventilator beds, oxygen, all that.
Q) Priyanka Gandhi met former Congress MPs, so can we see them contesting Assembly polls?
Everyone has the right to contest elections.
Q) What's your opinion on healthcare, education and police administration in UP?
See, I believe this government has failed on every front. The state of healthcare is so saddening that there aren't enough doctors at CHCs and PHCs, not even support staff. The government is not filling the vacancies. Medicine shortage, lack of infrastructure is an issue of serious concern. During the second wave, most people died due to non-availability of oxygen. If a country that manufactures vaccines and oxygen faces vaccine and oxygen shortage, it's really an issue of concern. The government is engaged in headline management, branding and publicity. It has no connect with the people of the state. Law and order has failed, the government is protecting criminals. If you remember, Inspector Subodh was murdered and the accused were sent to jail. Upon their release, they were garlanded and felicitated by people from the BJP. The police are acting like puppets of the government. They have resorted to repression. Coming to education, this government has completely demolished the system, I believe today the children of the poor are unable to get proper education. There aren't enough teachers in primary schools, education is getting costlier with only private schools being promoted. It's a worrying situation. Government schools aren't getting enough support and attention.

Braiding nail is a new technique I learn from mainstream Youtubes. It's a very unique and stunning look. I use E-n@il Bird of Paradise, Candy Candy and Bikini for the three colors. From now on, I am not going to mention the brand, I only use E-N@il polishes nowadays. I made a lot of mistakes while 'braiding', and put too many layers! Makes it look boogey.

END TIMES BIBLE PROPHECY: MASS ANIMAL DEATHS AS LIGHTNING STRIKES 550 SHEEPS TO DEATH
admin / August 13, 2021 / Endtimes Signs and Wonder
Around 550 sheep were killed during a lightning strike on Mount Abul in the Ninotsminda region in southern Georgia on August 9.
Deputy Mayor of Ninotsminda Artavaz Tonoiani says that there were about 1,500 sheep on the pasture which is located five kilometers from the village of Tambovka, Ninotsminda.
Part of the dead livestock belonged to a local farmer from Tambovka, and part to farmers from Kakheti.
Jnews shares a video provided by the farmer's son Yagor Levanov that shows killed sheep on the pasture.
The shepherd said that lightning had struck twice and the sheep had fallen, and asked for help from Ninotsminda City Hall. However, Tonoiani says that 'we do not have any official confirmation that the weather is really the cause'.
The reasons will be determined by the veterinarian. The only thing we can do now is to allocate a place where the dead sheep will be buried", he said.
Also, a commission has been set up at the mayor's office to assess the loss.
The cost of one sheep on the market today averages 350 GEL (about $113.45).

CARLOS SANTANA INTERVIEW #1
(Originally aired on December 18, 2008)
Santana is among the few guitarists who are immediately identifiable from the first notes they play. In the late '60s, Santana's groundbreaking mix of blues guitar and Latin percussion propelled him and his band to the forefront of the San Francisco scene. The Santana band's performance at Woodstock in 1969 — which included an 11-minute version of "Soul Sacrifice" featured in the Woodstock film — made instant celebrities of the former dishwasher and his fiery bandmates. Since his Fillmore days, Santana has continued to explore genres and guitar tones. Collaborations with Wayne Shorter, John McLaughlin, John Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton, Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews, Los Lonely Boys and other blues, jazz, rock and hip-hop artists have given Santana an unusually rich and diverse catalog of recorded music.
In our exclusive feature, excerpted from a 2002 interview, Santana explains how he views the more mystical aspects of musicianship, and how he draws inspiration from guitarists Bola Sete, Kenny Burrell, Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix and B.B. King, as well as the pioneering jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane.

I like the light in modern downtown areas of some cities – like Toronto.
Look at the light illuminating the woman and the bike. Crazy. Unnatural – in a good way. Hyper-realistic light.
The light in the very foreground, the first two metres of sidewalk, was due to my flash (the Speedlighter never travels without his speedlight!), but how about that side light? The picture looks like an HDR shot!
Exactly like the runner in Mono I showed you not long ago. Light from two directions, a spotlight with shadows: spotlight, or a huge softbox, on the left while the sun is on the right. Impossible light, and that is why it appeals.
Wonderful. Saved me the effort of using a huge softbox.
The moral of this post: always look for light – train your eye to look for unusual light, and use it in your pictures. I thought to get these shots it was worth foregoing my Starbucks visit (that's what I was actually doing, during a break in the event shoot).

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that often begins at about 40-45 years, due to hormonal changes that result in prostatic enlargement. The word "Benign" means that the enlargement is not caused by cancer. The word "Hyperplasia" means enlargement.
The physiological process of erection begins in the brain and involves the nervous and vascular systems. Causes of erectile dysfunction. A variety of medical conditions, the use of certain medicines and psychological problems may cause erectile dysfunction. Now a days it is al ifestyle disease.
Urinary Obstruction and stasis Obstructions anywhere along the urinary tract, such as an impacted stone, often lead to dilation and distention of the ureters and renal pelvis & urinary bladder or urethra which causes severe pain dysuria & hematuria. It calls for Urgent treatment.
This means narrowing of the lumen of Urethra, the tube which evacuates urine from the bladder. This can happen due to injury, sexual infections or prolonged catheterisation. This can be treated by endoscopy in majority of cases. Our clinic uses state-of-the-art technology and advanced surgical procedures to treat our urology patients. Urologists who treat patients at our clinic are focused on improving the quality of patient care, and participate in ongoing training in the use of these technologies and techniques.
Cystoscopy is endoscopy of the urinary bladder via the urethra. It is carried out with a Cystoscopy.Diagnostic cystoscopy is usually carried out with local anesthesia. General anesthesia is sometimes used for operative cystoscopic procedures. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The cystoscopy has lenses like a telescope or microscope. These lenses let the doctor focus on the inner surfaces of the urinary tract. Some cystoscopes use optical fibres (flexible glass fibres) that carry an image from the tip of the instrument to a viewing piece at the other end. Many cystoscopes have extra tubes to guide other instruments for surgical procedures to treat urinary problems.
is a minimally-invasive operation, performed to remove the parts of your prostate gland that are pressing on your urethra in order to allow urine to flow more freely. The urologist passes a special tube through your urethra and uses a heated wire loop to shave off the overgrown areas of your prostate gland. In this way TURP is not an open surgery, and there will be no incisions or scars & recovery is faster.
Ureteroscopyis an examination of the upper urinary tract, usually performed with an endoscope that is passed through the urethra, bladder, and then directly into the ureter. The procedure is useful in treatment of disorders such as ureteric stones & tumors. The examination may be performed with either a flexible or a rigid fiberoptic device while the patient is under a general of spinal anesthetic.
found in the urinary bladder which causes obstruction to urine flow. It can happen at any age. Large bladder stones in children and elderly patients (more than 20 mm) sometimes may need open treatment to prevent injury to delicate urethra because of prolonged endoscopic treatment.
Bladder cancer is a malignant growth of the urinary bladder. The most common bladder cancer is called transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). This commonly presents with painless hematuria (bleeding from Urine, sometimes with clots).

God is Making a Way Where There Is No Way!
A number of years ago, I was part of a team that was helping to organize leadership meetings all across the country. The first meeting happened in Alberta, my home province, and one outcome of this meeting, was that the leaders in my city, Edmonton, decided they wanted to begin to meet together to seek the Lord. This was something I had been longing to see for a while and I really felt from the Lord that I was supposed to be in this meeting. My problem was the meeting had been set for a Monday night right in the middle of this national tour. The weekend before, I was to be in Montreal and the Tuesday after, I was supposed to be in Halifax. So the only way I could make the meeting was to fly back from Montreal Sunday night and return to Halifax on the Monday night red-eye flight.
My other problem was finances. Because this meeting was something I felt to do personally and the ministry had already paid for a flight from Montreal to Halifax, I knew that if I was going to do this, I had to pay from my own pocket. A quick check confirmed what I feared: with such little notice the two tickets would combine to be about $1000. At that time in my life, I was in a very tight financial position and I just couldn't afford it. Discouraged, I tried tell myself it was ok to miss the meeting but deep inside I wasn't at peace because I really felt I was to be in that meeting in Edmonton.
To be honest, I was so tired and felt so lousy, I wasn't exactly brimming with faith. But as the flights were displayed from Montreal to Edmonton on the Sunday, to my shock I saw the exact flight I needed was priced at $20! All the other flights on that day were hundreds of dollars, except that one. I thought it must be a computer glitch and so I tried to book it, thinking for sure by the time I got to pay, the system would right itself and it would re-price. But it didn't and I got a ticket from Montreal to Edmonton on a Sunday night for $78 with tax!
I shouted to my friend what had just happened and told her now I was going to check the Edmonton to Halifax portion. Now remember, this is a different city on a totally different day. Can you guess what happened? There were two red-eye flights, either of which would work with my schedule, and yes, they were both priced at $20! Just to be sure there wasn't some crazy sale I didn't know about, I flipped to the day before and day after. But there was nothing unusual in the price. The $20 flight only appeared on the day I needed and the specific flights I needed. I quickly booked it - for $66!
I printed those tickets off and kept them in my office as a constant reminder to me that God can make a way where there is no way.
This story came back to me today as I read an amazing email from a Gen Xer, Svea Braun from Niverville, Manitoba, who, along with her family, is coming to the gathering. This is what she wrote the Awaken team late last night.
So we had a miracle happen last night and thought it might encourage some others who are seeking to walk in rest as they wait for the provision for the trip to the Gathering. We do not have the resources in hand to come to the gathering, as we are moving off salary at our church, and engaging a daily bread life currently.
We shared with our four girls yesterday morning during a family prayer time that we need $1000 for transportation and food by this coming Friday and we need a place to stay in Edmonton. I had felt pretty strongly that we were not to stay in a hotel, that we needed a home, but also felt not to pursue the Awaken leadership to search for something for us. I felt God would provide something supernaturally.
Last night David and I were walking along the Assiniboine River looking at a construction site. An older couple crossed paths with us and we struck up a conversation. We realized that we had mutual friends, and they even knew some of David's relatives. "Ask them if they have a place for you in Edmonton" was the question the Holy Spirit dropped in my heart. We had just met this couple minutes earlier. After talking to them for over an hour about their lives, the Lord (they were believers) and much more, we had to leave. We exchanged contact information and while driving home I told David we needed to call them and ask if they have a place for us in Edmonton. So this morning we did, and the gentleman (whom we just met less than 24 hours earlier) called us back the afternoon saying his brother-in law-lived there and would be happy to accommodate our whole family including 4 kids. Talk about fun divine appointment. We are looking forward to seeing how the rest comes. It is going to be a testimony celebration!
What blessed our team in reading this amazing testimony was David and Svea's determination not to do things by conventional wisdom. They could have asked me, who they know, to help them find a billet in Edmonton. But they were determined to seek the will of the Lord in even the smallest detail and then believe Him to provide. And because of it, they are on a whole other adventure with the Lord!
We also heard another testimony in the last few days, this time from a Gen Xer in Quispamsis, NB named Jonathan Hallewell.
The first time the gathering was shared with me, I felt like I had to be a part. As soon as I saw the details on the website I asked my wife if she fancied a road trip! This trip seemed out of reach for several reasons, particularly financial, but we couldn't let go of it. I had just over half the aeroplan points necessary for the flight, which would have made it cheaper, although no flights to Edmonton were available. As we set in for prayer, we increasingly felt I had to get there by whatever means and investigated flights to Saskatoon, for which there was some availability. I was watching those flights to make sure they were available and randomly checked the Saint John to Edmonton flight again, which amazingly became available.
However, I was waiting to see if any opportunities to stay with someone came up, and the Edmonton flight disappeared :-( With no leads on accommodation, I was becoming increasingly frustrated, but still felt I had to go. While praying with my wife I suddenly felt to see how much more a multi-city flight would be, and investigated a flight from Fredericton, via Toronto and Calgary to Edmonton. Amazingly it was available! Still with no accommodation, I booked the flight, and then 30 mins later had an email offering me a place to stay. This gathering feels of strategic importance for me personally but also for those of us in the east. Can't wait to be there!
What touched us reading Jon's email is seeing how he approached this from a place of faith. God was speaking to his spirit, and rather than looking at the circumstances and allowing them to harden his heart in unbelief, he decided to come into agreement with what the Spirit was saying and to do whatever he needed to get there – even if it meant flying into Saskatoon, 5 hours away and finding a ride from there. We believe that it was his determination to be obedient to God and the faith with which he is walking that opened the door for a flight to Edmonton. I can attest to the fact that due to the huge Fringe Theatre Festival that is happening in Edmonton before and during the gathering, there have been no aeroplan tickets available from anywhere to Edmonton for many months. So this really is a miracle!
We know there are many of you who feel called to this gathering but the circumstances seem impossible. So we wanted to share these testimonies with you as a way of encouraging you to remain in faith. We believe strongly that the next season is about seeing a greater demonstration of the sovereignty of God than we have ever experienced before. And this consecration and the tests many are going through to get to Edmonton, are part of the preparation the Lord is doing for us to be able to walk through the new doors He is about to open. Know this: as a team we are standing and contending in the Spirit with each one of you that God will make a way where there seems to be no way!

Dusting -Regular light dusting maintains a like-new appearance for most blinds, shades, shutters and window panels.
Vacuuming – Vacuum gently with a brush attachment of any vacuum cleaner. Most products may be vacuumed with a vertical stroke. DO NOT use a brush attachment with Luminette Privacy Sheers.
Compressed air or hair dryer (non-heat setting)-Use this method to blow dust off selected window coverings.
Spot-cleaning-Spot-clean shades and blinds with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with lukewarm water. Add mild detergent if needed. Blot gently as rubbing can damage some fabrics. Some fabrics should not be spot cleaned.
Bathtub-cleaning/water immersion- This method can be used for most alternative wood or metal blinds by immersing the entire shade in lukewarm water, rinsing with clear water and reinstalling the damp shade in the lowered position to dry completely. However, headrails or bottom rails on certain operating systems should not be immersed as well as blinds with decorative tapes.
Ultrasonic cleaning-The ultrasonic cleaning process is done by a professional cleaner. It requires having the window treatments removed from the home and transported to a cleaning facility.
Injection/extraction cleaning system-This type of cleaning injects a cleaning solution into the fabric and immediately extracts the dirty solution. It's a very effective way to deep clean window treatments. The service is typically performed in the home so there is no need to remove the window treatments.
Steaming- Steaming can be done to remove wrinkles from some fabrics. A hand held travel size steamer works best.
*To reduce static cling and repel dust, wipe the product with dryer sheets.
*Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they will scratch or damage the surface.
*Allow blinds to air dry to preserve dust repellent properties of the slats.
*Clean shutters with mild soap and water. Do not use ammonia- based products.
*Clean using a dry, soft feather duster, clean cloth or dusting mitt. A vacuum with a soft brush attachment can be used.
*Ultrasonic cleaning or use of chemical solvents and scrubbing cleaners are not recommended. They will damage the product.
*Protect all fine wood products from exposure to steam, high moisture areas, rain or sprinkler systems to ensure their long life.
* Spray glass cleaner on a cloth rather than spraying directly on the window. This will prevent damage to the wood finish by splattering the cleaner.
*Spot-cleaning with fabric cleaner wipes. Perform a cleaning test on underneath side where tapes wrap around bottom rail first.
*100% polyester tapes can be spot-cleaned with cool distilled water. Blot to clean spot and rinse with clean distilled water. Air dry.
*If the tape is shiny or has a luster, do not use water. The tape is most likely rayon or acetate and the result will be a water stain. Wipes are the best for all fiber contents.
*Do not use magnetic cleaners such as a dusting mitt on light-dimming fabrics. This will damage the light-dimming backing.
*Spray glass cleaner on a cloth rather than spraying directly on the window. This will prevent damage to the fabric by splattering the cleaner.
*The ultrasonic cleaning process requires the sheers to be removed from the home and transported to the cleaning facility. Sheers should be rolled on a tube during transport to minimize wrinkling and damage.
*Periodically, these shades may need to be "dressed." This involves steaming the fabric to achieve a pleasing and uniform appearance along the full length of the shade.
When in doubt, always remember to consult your care guide instructions or contact us with any questions.

The minimum airspeed is significantly slower than Mig and Sukhoi, which proves the effectiveness of its lifting body design.
slow speed pass at 13:00. Estimated AOA = 30 deg.
I'm glad the low speed pass was brought up with a reference to the F-22 pass.
It needs too. It can burn through it's full fuel load at the same rate an F-16 can.
Well I think you overestimate the fuel burn in a normal airshow. In 1979 paris Le Bourget F-15A consumed 2700kg and F-18A consumed less than 2000kg each time. Not every maneuver requires full afterburner, and during the reposition between each maneuver there is no need to use afterbuner.
Older members in this forum may still have the impression about a brochure distributed by Lockheed Martin comparing Mig-29 and western jets. I have a translated version of that brochure in another language. There was a chart named "estimated fuel comsumption for ordinary 9-min show" (or something similar), Mig consumes 2000kg while F16 consumes 1455kg.
I didn't say it burned all the fuel, though I see how what I did say could be taken as such. With a nominal 70,000lb of thrust in AB and a nominal TSFC of 2.0, the F-22 would burn in the neighborhood of 40lb of fuel per second in AB. The 20 second min radius turn? 800lb. 10 seconds for the followup vertical climb? 400lb. 20 seconds to reposition from slow pass? Another 800lb. 30 seconds for an AB take-off into a vertical climb and a power loop? 1,200lb. 40 seconds for vertical climb, power loop, and pedal turn? 1,600lb. 5 seconds for the loaded roll? 200lb. 10 seconds for each use of a Split-S reposition? 400lb. We are at a ballpark 5,400lb (2,455kg) fuel burned in just those maneuvers. This is looking at the AF Demo Routine document for when MAX power is specified.
Look at the thrust ratings of the planes you mention.
Looks fairly consistent. This would say that for a "9-min" airshow we could expect the F-22 to burn 8,540-9,589lb of fuel. If it took off at 50% fuel, it might flameout before landing. Figure the reserve is around 3,000lb, and another 1,000lb burned while on the ground before takeoff, and we are looking at 13,500lb being the minimum fuel for the routine. A 57,500lb plane is not going to perform much worse with another 4,500lb of fuel (<8% increase in weight), so you might as well bring it.
Screen grab from a LMT video of F35 demo pilot Dojo visiting LMT to discuss his airshow manoeuvres with Billie Flynn. Will i see 2 AMRAAMs and 2 MK-84 JDAMs when the F35 does its weapons bay door pass? That will be unprecedented for any airshow demo!
WotNOvideo? That screengrab could be from anywhere. Why no video URL?

Thanks - I'm not a twatter user so I would never find/go there. However to me the screenshot means not a lot - random. However I'll concede that looking at artificial horizon may indicate they are 'demonstrating' to one another on travel sim.
I remember LM published the 1G flight test envelope of F35A/B/C. F-35A could sustain 1G level flight at Mach 0.29 and at 36000ft. This could give us some idea on estimating the drag polar.

OPINION: The Case for Higher Water Rates
April 8, 2016 /in San Diego County /by Adam Hebel /Voice of San Diegoby By Meena Westford Mentioned: San Diego County Water Authority
Just about every year, the San Diego County Water Authority uses ratepayer funds to bus local citizens to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's final budget meeting in downtown Los Angeles. They are customers who have ended up with some unfortunate misimpressions about Metropolitan's financial practices and proposed budget, and they come to urge Metropolitan to collect less revenue than what is proposed. And then the bus goes home.

OPINION: Jeff Denham: Bureaucrats Impede Water Development
April 8, 2016 /in California and the U.S. /by Adam Hebel /Manteca Bulletin by By Dennis Wyatt
A simple and relatively inexpensive way to expand California's available water is to modify spillways on reservoirs. Congressman Jeff Denham noted experts have estimated it would allow access to a million acre feet of water annually. That's enough to meet the typical water needs of almost 11 million people a year based on per capital consumption figures supplied by the United States Geological Survey.
But it requires more than the proverbial act of Congress. Denham noted the big roadblock is the federal bureaucracy — the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to be more precise — that only relicenses hydroelectric operations every 40 to 50 years.

OPNION: Hetch Hetchy: Environmental Hypocrisy, San Francisco-Style
San Francisco intellectuals are noted for attacking Central Valley farmers, Sierra lumbermen and Los Angeles for environmental crimes.The most enduring symbol of hatred for the San Francisco environmental crowd is dams. They represent everything supposedly evil about modern-day California. They contend the huge concrete structures destroy wild rivers, flood pristine canyons and spur urban growth where it shouldn't occur.
The San Francisco crowd's favorite whipping boy is Los Angeles. They detest what Los Angeles has done in the name of water development, specifically with the Owens Valley and Mono Lake.

OPINION: Con: Agency Needs Transparency Before Raising Rates
April 8, 2016 /in San Diego County /by Adam Hebel /The San Diego Union-Tribune by By Mark Weston
Few people would be shocked to learn that the Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District is once again preparing to raise water rates and property taxes for the next two years, given its history of similar increases. What alarms me most is that Metropolitan is doing so using methodology that a state Superior Court judge has ruled illegal to collect money that it does not need using a process that lacks public transparency.

In Response: Hitting our Mark
April 8, 2016 /in San Diego County /by Adam Hebel /The San Diego Union Tribune by By Maureen A. Stapleton Quoted: Maureen A. Stapleton
The Union-Tribune's report on regional and statewide water conservation efforts ("Water conservation skid worsens across state," April 5) omitted an important fact about the months-long effort of local residents and businesses to increase conservation — a fact that deserves to be recognized. We, as a region, saved enough water to successfully meet the state's mandate for the initial emergency regulation period of June 2015 through February 2016.
Together, we reduced potable water use by 22 percent over this period compared to 2013 levels, outperforming the state's aggregate target of 20 percent for the San Diego region.

Water Woes Divide California into Haves, Have Nots
April 8, 2016 /in California and the U.S. /by Adam Hebel /U.S. News (Washington, D.C.)by By Tori Richards
People have long predicted that California could eventually collapse into the ocean following a mega earthquake. Now, an eerily similar true-life scenario is playing out — but it's thanks to the weather.
The Gold Rush State has sunk more than 45 feet since 1935 – something the U.S. government calls the "largest human alteration of the earth's surface." But earthquakes aren't the cause. It's happening because of excessive groundwater mining brought on by drought, and geologists say all the rain in the world won't reverse cave-ins of dirt and rock in underground aquifers.

OPINION: Pro: Rate Increases Needed to Meet Water Needs
April 8, 2016 /in San Diego County /by Adam Hebel /The San Diego Union-Tribune by By Jeffrey Kightlinger Mentioned: San Diego County Water Authority
Like other financially sound organizations, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has a robust budget process that provides fiscal stability while addressing current needs and long term objectives. This approach has resulted in the kind of essential investments to ensure the Southland has had reliable water supplies during this historic drought and prevented untold regional economic hardship — projects such as new water storage, local supply development, conservation rebates and innovative technologies.
Over the years, many of these initiatives were supported by the San Diego County Water Authority representatives on our board, though some were not.

Artworks Vandalized at 3 Berlin Museums
German police and museum officials reported Wednesday that vandals have damaged more than 70 artworks and artifacts at some of Berlin's most renowned museums. The targeted attacks were kept quiet by authorities for more than two weeks.Christina Haak, deputy director of Berlin's state museums, told reporters that at least 63 works at the Pergamon Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, and the Neues Museum were all sprayed with what she described as an oily liquid that left stains. She said there was no thematic link between the targeted works and "no pattern is discernible" to the perpetrator's approach.The museums are all part of the Museum Island complex, a UNESCO world heritage site in the heart of Germany's capital that is one of the city's main tourist attractions.Police said they initially decided not to go public about the incident out of "tactical considerations related to the investigation." Local media in Berlin broke the story late Tuesday. On Wednesday, police asked witnesses to come forward with any accounts of suspicious people or events they noticed October 3.German media have noted that the Pergamon Museum has in recent months been targeted by conspiracy theorists. Attila Hildmann, an activist who has railed against government measures to contain the coronavirus, has spread conspiracy theories about Museum Island.Through the internet, he claimed the Pergamon Museum held the "throne of Satan" and was the center of a "global satanist and corona criminal scene" where "they sacrifice humans at night and abuse children."Haak told reporters that some of the museums had been vandalized over the summer with graffiti and torn banners on the outside of the buildings.

To make the pastry, sift the flour into a mixing bowl and make a well. Mix with the butter until you reach a breadcrumb consistency. Add the egg yolk and mix and then add water to form a dough. Wrap in cling film and rest in fridge for half an hour. Roll and then blind bake in a nine-inch tart case at 160c for 40 minutes.
To make the filling, gently sauté the squash for 5-8 minutes until soft. Blanch the broccoli for 5 minutes and then refresh. Whisk milk, cream eggs and seasoning. Place the broccoli and squash in the flan, pour over milk and egg mixture and then top with the cubed Saint Giles. Bake at 170C for 35 minutes. Serve with green salad.

My kids love smoothies. They makes them with yogurt, milk, bananas and frozen fruit. The other day, when I looked in the freezer, I found a plastic bag of frozen fruit from the grocery store. Ugh! I don't have all that many rules here. But no plastic is one of them. So, no drugs in plastic baggies. Well, okay, actually, no drugs.
The bags of frozen fruit are really unnecessary, especially with summer nearly here, and we can once again enjoy the strawberries, raspberries, apricots and other seasonal, organic fruits from the farmer's market. Plus, I planted a cherry tree about ten years ago in the backyard of MK and Charlotte's dad's house. And this year it has had a bumper crop!
1. If you don't have a cherry pitter, make one out of an inexpensive fork following the clever instructions in this video. With pliers, you just bend the outside prongs all the way over and down at their base, and make little hooks at the top of the inner prongs. My cherry pitter looks like a mediaeval torture device. Or something from the dentist's office.
2. Plunge your cherry pitter into the fruit, pull it out and pop the cherry pit.
3. Arrange your pitted cherries in a single layer on a cookie sheet. I freeze fruit this way rather than plopping it en mass in a container so it doesn't turn into one big frozen lump that makes separating pieces of fruit difficult. Cherries won't stick together like strawberries or mango chunks, but I froze them this any way just to be safe.
4. Put your tray of fruit in the freezer.
…this pie! So much for cutting my sugar consumption. This was the best cherry pie I have ever tasted in my life. MK used the filling recipe from the Joy of Cooking and the pie crust recipe from the Complete Canadian Living Baking Book (I miss that magazine). I'll post the recipe another day. I had a slice of this for breakfast this morning. After eating more fresh cherries.
You can use this method to freeze any type of fruit. It cuts down on waste and helps you easily preserve a large amount. We almost always gobble up the frozen fruit within a month, but it will stay good in the freezer for about six months.
The cherries were yummy, the pie, gone.
Pie looks amazing, I can almost smell it! Love the red cherries, makes me excited for Summer.
Amazing and simple! Bet it works with olives too – my daughter loves them. And pitted olives are not nearly as good. I can't wait to try this idea!
:O I have never tried it on olives! What a brilliant idea. Thank you! I must try that. I think you'll be amazed at how well the pitter works on cherries (and hopefully olives).
There's a pin on Pinterest on how to pit cherries using a vastly easier method than having to struggle with bending a fork all to pieces; just take a metal paper clip–not one that's coated with vinyl–bend it into an 'S' shape (half straightening it), then push one end into the stem end of the cherry, twist it, and out pops the pit without losing much of the juice. I live in the cherry capitol of the world, and have been pitting cherries for over 60 years; this method–not thought of by me, but now I use it–is the easiest ever, and is better than store-bought pitters, and certainly better than destroying cutlery.
I'm glad you've found a method you like. I haven't destroyed a fork. I have transformed it into a useful tool that I use every summer to pit my homegrown cherries.


"I was at the Edgemoor property, in the middle of the day, to take pics of the barn to update the SHS barn logo. I was constantly looking up and around the area, including the sky's background, so I can get it just right, and not at anytime did I see anything in the sky or heard a sound of an aircraft," she said.
It wasn't until after she took the picture that Henry realized her camera had captured something else that she hadn't previously seen.
"I noticed a 'speck' on my LCD screen after I took the shot to check for clarity, and only realized it wasn't a speck when I downloaded it on my computer."
The Edgemoor Barn -- now a museum -- just celebrated its 100th birthday. It was once part of a hospital facility and has developed a reputation for paranormal activity, including alleged ghost sightings.
"The barn sits under several flight paths," said Janet Kwak in her on-air 10News report. "We called Gillespie Field and MCAS Miramar (Marine Corps Air Station), but neither could offer an explanation."
"There is no way this was a commercial aircraft," Henry said. "I would have heard it, especially as low as it seemed to be. Someone did mention perhaps it was a drone. However, I have not seen any drones that were round or oval, and lacking wings, rudders or propellers -- even the drone that looks like a fly has wings."
Another unusual thing happened: Henry reports that right after she snapped the UFO, her camera mysteriously stopped working.

Variations in the anatomy of the auriculotemporal nerve
Gulekon N. , Anil A., Poyraz A., Peker T. V. , Turgut H., Karakose M.
CLINICAL ANATOMY, cilt.18, ss.15-22, 2005 (SCI İndekslerine Giren Dergi)
Doi Numarası: 10.1002/ca.20068
Dergi Adı: CLINICAL ANATOMY
The common representation of the auriculotemporal nerve is either that of a single posterior branch of the mandibular nerve or of two roots that envelope the middle meningeal artery. Our observation in the anatomy of the auriculotemporal nerve on 32 dissections ( 16 cadaveric heads) of the infratemporal fossa included: one specimen with four roots (3.1%), three specimens with three roots (9.4%), 12 specimens with two roots (37.5%), and 16 specimens with one root (50%). Furthermore, a connecting nerve branch was observed between auriculotemporal and inferior alveolar nerves in four specimens, and in another auriculotemporal nerve case, between the upper and lower roots. In the cadaver of a 70-year-old male, a four-rooted auriculotemporal nerve variation was found. These four branches lay to the posterior, combined at the posterosuperior of the maxillary and Superficial temporal arteries and formed a ganglion-like knot. From this knot, four branches stemmed and ran to the temporomandibular joint, external acoustic meatus, zygoma, and parotid gland. The knot was larger and thicker than expected; thus, it was removed and stained with haematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and S 100 for histological Studies. This structure was not a true ganglion but a structure formed by fusion of nerve fibers. (C) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
