The sole bid for the South Siesta renourishment project comes in at the level for which county staff had hoped

With permits already in hand, Sarasota County staff this week seemed to have cleared the final major hurdle in its years-long planning to renourish South Siesta Key, including Turtle Beach.
On Nov. 10, the single bid submitted for the project was right around the amount for which county staff was hoping, county spokesman told The Sarasota News Leader on Nov. 12: a little more than $18 million. Work is proceeding to get that contract recommendation ready for the County Commission, he added.
After a Nov. 5 presentation to the Siesta Key Association (SKA) about the project, Laird Wreford, the county's coastal resources manager, told the News Leader the latest total estimate for the cost of the project — including construction — was about $21.5 million. That was almost double the original projection of $11.5 million, he said. Wreford characterized the recent number as "sticker shock."
All around the state, he pointed out, expenses for beach renourishment projects "are skyrocketing." For example, he continued, some communities have reported estimates of $5 million just to get a contractor on site.
In 2014, Wreford explained that increasing demand for beach renourishment projects, especially in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy's 2012 assault on the northeastern U.S. shoreline, had led to the hike in expenses for all such projects.
The county has received a state grant of $2.75 million to assist with the cost of the South Siesta renourishment, he told the News Leader, and staff is optimistic as it seeks between $4 million and $4.5 million more.
County Tourist Development Tax (TDT) revenue set aside in a fund for beach renourishment will take care of about $15 million of the South Siesta cost, he added. Another segment of funding will come through an assessment of property owners in the affected area, Wreford told the approximately 30 people at the SKA meeting. Staff already is scheduled to appear before the County Commission on Dec. 9 — the board's last meeting before the end of the year — to seek authorization of a commercial loan to cover interim costs until it collects all the assessments. Property owners also were assessed in conjunction with the initial South Siesta Beach nourishment completed in 2007. Former County Commissioner Nora Patterson, a Siesta resident, pointed out during a number of public meetings that county staff had planned for residents to complete payment of those earlier fees prior to the county's pursuit of the renourishment and its associated assessments.

On Nov. 9, Laird told the SKA members last week, staff was expecting a report from its property appraisal expert regarding the assessments on property fronting the Gulf of Mexico in the affected area. That report, he said, is necessary for legal purposes to create the Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) program. Further, on Nov. 17, he noted, staff plans to bring to the County Commission a request to advertise the public hearing for the MSBU district.
The county already has scheduled a public meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19, at St. Boniface Episcopal Church to provide the latest information on the renourishment project. The format will be that of an open house, according to a flyer County Commissioner Al Maio distributed at the SKA meeting.
The church is located at 5615 Midnight Pass Road; the session will be in the parish hall.
The flyer explains that the 2007 nourishment involved putting more than 900,000 cubic yards of sand on the beach, as well as the planting of native coastal vegetation on almost 6.5 acres.
After that Nov. 19 meeting, Wreford told the SKA members, staff plans informal outreach efforts to make certain all the condominium owners and residents in homeowners' associations in the affected area know what to expect when the project begins. And if all goes as staff hopes, he noted, the renourishment will begin in January.
The history and the permits
During the SKA meeting, Wreford explained the background of the project.

While the Siesta Public Beach — "our tourist crown jewel," as he put it — has been accreting for some time, "getting fatter and happier," the geographical presence of Point of Rocks serves as a "very natural barrier for sand movement," Wreford said. Areas to the south of Point of Rocks are "sand-starved," he added.
The closing of Midnight Pass on south Siesta Key in 1983, to protect homeowners' property, has exacerbated the situation for Turtle Beach and the shoreline on either side of that beach, Wreford continued. The pass acted as a natural barrier, too, he noted. Therefore, when it was open, "sand was still being somewhat held in" on the southern portion of the Key. "You didn't have that same rate of erosion on Turtle Beach and south Siesta [as seen today]," he added, "but you did on Casey Key."
After the pass was closed, its ebb shoal collapsed on the Casey Key shoreline, Wreford noted, making that barrier island "fat and happy" but starving south Siesta's beach of sand.
The goal is to widen the South Siesta beach so it extends about 140 feet to 180 feet from the Gulf of Mexico, he said. Because the southernmost part of the project area tends to erode more quickly, he added, the plan is to build an underwater shelf containing additional sand, with the hope that that section of the beach will stay wider longer than it did after the 2007 project.
Because it took about three years to obtain a permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the first nourishment of South Siesta, Wreford continued, staff was pleased "to secure our state permits in amazing time" for the renourishment. Staff received the FDEP permits in December 2014, he noted, less than 18 months after the county submitted its application.
Generally, he explained, because of the traditional coordination of state and federal permitting efforts, staff expected to get its federal permit within two to four weeks after receipt of the FDEP approval. This time, however, the Federal Government raised the issue of South Siesta's being a habitat for the threatened red knot, which is a beach-nesting bird, he continued. "Make no mistake," he told the SKA board and members, "I am a big fan of the red knot." Still, Wreford said, only one or two red knots ever had been recorded as having been seen in Sarasota County.

Along with that setback, Wreford noted, the documentation of county efforts to protect sea turtle nests on its beaches was declared to have expired right after the county received its state permits.
Between the turtles and the birds, he pointed out, the county suffered an unexpected 10-month delay in obtaining its federal permit.
"We are now under the gun," he said, to renourish South Siesta Beach before the turtle-nesting season begins on May 1; that season runs through Oct. 31.
If "all the moving parts [of the project are] pulled together," he continued, the renourishment could begin in January and conclude in late April.
His biggest concern, he said, was whether the construction bids would come in "unexpectedly way blown beyond our budget."
Following the bid opening this week, Wreford added, staff planned to brief the County Commission on the status of the project and its likely costs.
The Dec. 9 County Commission agenda also is expected to include board votes on the hiring of a firm to handle oversight of the construction, he said.
In response to a question from an SKA member, Wreford explained that the project team located enough sand in borrow areas in the Gulf of Mexico to make this renourishment and a third placement of sand on South Siesta possible. The FDEP permit is good for 15 years, he pointed out, so the third project probably will take place eight to 10 years from now.
One of the borrow areas is 10 miles offshore, he said, while a second one is about 8-and-a-half miles from South Siesta. Those distances also had contributed to a rise in the expected expense, he noted. "There are only a certain number of these seagoing vessels [that can handle the work]."

Why does Joseph Campbell's influence on Star Wars matter?
by Hannah Searson December 13, 2019, 12:00 am
Our heroes are running through a black forest, snow on the ground. They're trying to get away from the monster chasing them, but it's no use. There's no way that they'd ever be able to outrun his anger. Instead, our heroes, a boy and a girl—young, brave, and devastated over the death of their mentor—turn to face their monster.
But the monster's just a man, bleeding and furious and deeply miserable.
"It's just us now," he says. And he's right. It is. They're what matters to the universe at this moment.
The confrontation quickly descends into a duel: the boy is injured, and the girl wrecks the monster, finally leaving him bleeding in the snowy forest as the ground splits and the monster is left on the other side of the chasm, where he can no longer follow his worst impulses and hurt the girl and boy.
Eventually, the forest blows up, and our heroes fly away on spaceships because that's what happens in Star Wars—space explosions, overblown emotions, and strange magics. It's what makes these movies so much fun.
Why did I spend so much time describing the climax of 2015's The Force Awakens (Episode VII)? Because "it's just us now." The fairytale setting wasn't lost on me when I first saw the movie, but it's that line that has stuck with me.
The climax of The Empire Strikes Back (Episode V) occurs in much the same way, but it's not in a forest, it takes place in a city in the clouds. And the climax of Attack of the Clones (Episode II) takes place in a gladiatorial arena. Functionally, though, the three blur into each other.
It's all heightened. It's all a fairytale.
Time and again in Star Wars we revisit the exact same plots—the evil Empire has built a Death Star (three times, and yes, The Force Awakens' "Starkiller Base" is just a Death Star with a new lick of paint), a reluctant hero has to bravely return to save his friends (Han Solo saw a lot of himself in Finn for a reason), and mentors and fathers and father figures have to die again, and again, and again.
It's repetitive, to be sure, but I'd prefer to describe it as iterative. The emphasis in the narrative changes with each version of the same story—the Death Star was the point in A New Hope, it was the thing to be defeated. By the time The Force Awakens rolls around, it's almost a joke. The deaths of Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace (Episode I), and Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope serve the same function in that their deaths allow our heroes (Obi-Wan and Anakin, and later Luke) to take charge of their destiny, no longer in the shadow of their father figures.
Han's death is the inverse of that—he doesn't know it yet, but this is the point where Kylo Ren (Ben Solo, the erstwhile son of Han and Leia) breaks. He thinks the murder of his own father is going to set him free, but it only results in more emotional damage and even more anger.
We'll be coming back to this idea a bit later.
So, if Star Wars is constantly repeating itself, and revisiting the same ideas over and over again, changing only incidental parts of it, why do we care about it?
Because that's what mythology does.
Myths are repetitive across time and space because they don't exist as bastions of originality but rather to teach us important lessons.
Now we have to talk about comparative mythology, I'm afraid.
It's no secret that Star Wars director George Lucas was profoundly influenced by comparative mythologist and literature professor Joseph Campbell and his seminal work The Hero With A Thousand Faces (1949). In case you don't know what that book contains, here's a very brief summary of his argument, as provided by Campbell himself:
A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.
That, according to Campbell, is a summary of every story ever told. It's called the Hero's Journey, or the Monomyth, and it's true across time, space, and cultures.
It's both right and deeply reductive, but that doesn't matter.
The point is, it's a perfect summary of every Star Wars movie ever made.
At the core of Campbell's writings is the idea that myths are told in this way because everyone needs to be able to understand the deeper meaning of the myth. Each instance is designed to reveal a new truth about ourselves, to open ourselves up to the purity of our nature, and to transcend our mundane, difficult lives to the much-longed-for happy ending.
Campbell wrote that "the function of ritual and myth is to make possible, and then to facilitate, the jump—by analogy," meaning that we tell ourselves these stories in order to understand something else. According to Campbell, "myth is but the penultimate," with a state of pure, loving openness being the final goal of all good myth cycles.
Lucas has been explicit for decades about his passion for this idea, telling Bill Moyers in 1999 that mythology exists to "construct a context for the unknown," and that he wrote Star Wars with that specifically in mind.
The links between Star Wars and the writings of Joseph Campbell are obvious, and they are well-trodden ground. Lucas has discussed the influence multiple times, often in great depth and with obvious passion, and Campbell himself described Star Wars as "myth"—the two became friends in the 1980s towards the end of Campbell's life.
So, apart from the fact that these links exist, what can Campbell tell us about Star Wars?
I don't mean in terms of plot. Let's not think about The Rise of Skywalker, let's set it aside. Instead, let's consider the story already told.
The first line of dialogue in 2015's The Force Awakens was "This will begin to make things right". A gesture at significance if there ever was one.
But it begs the question—what is it that has gone wrong? What needs to be made right?
Campbell writes that in myth there is always some "symbolical deficiency" that the hero needs to rectify, and it's this lack that causes the hero to embark on his adventure.
The lack at the heart of Star Wars, the one that Lucas attempted to explore in the much-maligned prequels, is expressed most profoundly in The Last Jedi (Episode VIII).
"The Force is not a power you have," Luke tells Rey, "It's the energy between all things—a tension, a balance that binds the universe together."
In hindsight, it's easy to see the story Lucas was trying to tell in the prequels: Anakin, a boy of pure compassion and love, torn between his instincts and the manipulations of both Palpatine and the Jedi, representing how our understanding of love can become easily clouded by pride and dogma.
This is the story that Star Wars is still invested in telling—how can we cast off these "mind-forg'd manacles," as Blake would say, and learn to love each other fully and, more importantly, selflessly.
George Lucas is such a hippy.
This is why Star Wars is iterative. Each Episode, each trilogy of movies represents an attempt to feel that state. Sometimes, like Luke's declaration in The Return of the Jedi (Episode VI) that "I am a Jedi, like my father before me," characters manage to grasp that truth for a moment before it slips through their fingers. How romantic of them.
Yoda even articulates this total renunciation of the self way back in The Empire Strikes Back, telling Luke "luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." It's a beautiful sentiment, but one that these movies make clear require work.
That brings us back to Kylo Ren's murder of Han Solo. It's as though he recognizes the cycle he is caught in and sees that certain story beats need to repeat, but has failed to understand the deeper meaning behind the cycle. By the end of The Last Jedi, he remains unwilling to do the work necessary to truly transcend this cycle of violence. "Let the past die," he tells Rey, in a neat summary of how he has clearly failed to see the deeper implications of his actions.
Fathers have to die, it's true, but that doesn't mean you need to continue down paths of all-consuming selfishness. There are other ways forward.
The truth is, Star Wars disguises this core devotion to compassion and love underneath space battles, weird space magics, and cool space laser swords. It's a fairy tale written for boys who would never sit through "Beauty and the Beast" or "Rumplestiltskin" or "Jack and the Beanstalk" or any of the older stories that these movies are very clearly drawing upon.
These lessons are hard to learn because they're not glamorous or filled with glory, and the universe's problems will never be solved by blowing up the other side. It requires thought and openness of feeling, and that can be quite the tough sell without the right packaging.
Rose Tico encapsulates the true meaning of Star Wars: that heroism can come from anywhere, that love and compassion will always, always win (at least in-universe), and that "That's how we win—not by fighting what we hate, but saving what we love."
She learned in the space of a single movie what the universe has been trying to tell the Skywalker family for decades.
Star Wars is not full of complex characters or particularly original stories because that's not its point.
The truth is that George Lucas read Joseph Campbell many decades ago and has been trying to articulate the value of myth in his storytelling ever since.
As Campbell says, myth is only "the penultimate," it's not our endgame. The true end only comes when you apply what you've learned in your own life, step out your front door, and open yourself to the world of possibilities like every hero who has come before you.
So what is it that Star Wars wants us to be open to? Love. Compassion. Understanding each other and finding a path forward that rejects violence and hatred, refusing to repeat the mistakes of those who came before us.
We're not this crude matter, luminous beings are we.

Supermarket chain Tesco escapes prosecution and pays a £129m fine and £85m in compensation to shareholders over 2014's accounting scandal.
A deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) has been reached with the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), allowing the company to avoid prosecution in return for agreeing to fulfil certain requirements, following the discovery of false accounting at Tesco Stores Limited, a subsidiary of the retailer.
Between February and September 2014, a £326m black hole in Tesco's accounts was found, forcing the UK's biggest retailer to admit it had overstated profits which misled investors who bought shares in the weeks following the publication of the flawed numbers.
Tesco chief executive Dave Lewis said it was a "huge source of regret" for the company and he "committed to doing everything we can to continue to restore trust in our business and brand".
Yet the DPAs reached between Tesco and the two regulators, the SFO and the Financial Conduct Authority do not amount to an admittance from the company that it, its parent Tesco plc, or any of its employees committed a criminal offence. Nor did the SFO's ruling suggest that Tesco's board of directors had knowledge of the falsified accounts.
This throws up a number of questions: were the necessary safeguards in place to prevent and deter this kind of malpractice, and if not, should the parent company or the board of directors be held responsible for the lack of oversight? Are fines sufficient to punish corporate wrongdoing or are tougher penalties needed to change behaviour?
While Tesco's case at least carried the threat of a criminal prosecution, in many instances this is absent. That's why CORE is supporting amendments to the Criminal Finances Bill, calling on the Government to overhaul the corporate liability regime and introduce a 'failure to prevent economic crime' offence. This offence would put the onus on companies, and their boards, to prove that they have the right procedures in place to prevent a multitude of white collar crime including false accounting, money laundering and fraud.
Fines alone, as High Pay Centre Director Stefan Stern notes, may act only as a 'mild irritation' which companies can budget for. They do not have the teeth to drive systematic change – only tougher regulation and criminal accountability can do that.

Nathan Marcellus Parsons (March 15, 1888 in York County, Nebraska – October 17, 1945 in Lincoln, Nebraska) was an American pharmacist and politician. A Democrat, he was elected to a very brief term as the 21st lieutenant governor of Nebraska - about two months in late 1938 and early 1939.

Career
Parsons' father Isaac Newton Parsons (1849-1920) came to Nebraska from Ohio, settling in York County. Parsons graduated from Lincoln High School in 1907 and then studied pharmacy. After 1912 he worked as a salesman for several companies.

In 1934 he worked on publicity and speaking for the Democratic campaigns of Robert LeRoy Cochran and Edward R. Burke for governor and senator. From 1935-7 he served as the assistant state director of old age assistance. He was the Lancaster County campaign manager for Senator George W. Norris's Independent campaign in 1936. In 1937 he opened the Parsons Drug Store in Lincoln. After Walter H. Jurgensen was convicted of embezzlement in 1938, Parsons was elected to fill out the remainder of Jurgensen's term, which amounted to less than two months - November 8, 1938 to January 5, 1939. He presided over the first two days of the legislative term and was later officially voted thanks "for the impartial manner in which he opened and presided over the organization of the Fifty-third Session of the Nebraska Legislature".

Parsons filed for re-election but lost, coming in fourth in a closely divided five-way Democratic primary won by William H. Diers.

In 1944 he was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Nebraska Secretary of State.

Family
Parsons married Cecelia De Broux in 1912; they had 7 children.

Baby Boy Allegedly Burned To Death In Oven By Drunk Grandparents In Russia
Alexander AksakovGetty Images
A mother in Russia left her 11-month-old baby son in their care of his grandparents but returned to find his charred remains inside their stove. The shocking incident took place in Kharoy village in the Russian district of Khakassia, according to the Daily Mail.
Viktoria Sagalakov, who is 20-years-old, left her infant son Maxim with her parents in the family home. When she returned to collect him, she found his charred and lifeless body inside the large stove in the kitchen of the home.
The exact cause of death is yet to be formally confirmed, but it is believed that the results will confirm that he died as a result of incineration after being placed in the oven.
Maxim's grandmother, aged 42, and grandfather, aged 47, have so far only been identified by their surname, Miyagashev. They have both been arrested and are under investigation for what local police describe as the "deliberate murder of a helpless minor." If they are convicted, they will face a life sentence.
Speaking to Russian television, a neighbor of the grandparents explained what allegedly happened. Evgeniy Borgoyakov claimed the grandfather had gone out and got drunk on vodka. When he returned home he "turned mad from alcohol."
"He came back home, and we hear he pushed the baby into the wood-burning stove. That was it," explained Borgoyakov.

— Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) January 31, 2019
Another neighbor of the grandparents, who is also a relative, said that the grandparents would often look after the baby boy while the mother was away and insisted they had always cared for him well.
Natalia Sagatayeva told Russian television, "I just can't believe this… I am still shocked. They took good care of the boy, fed him. My children played with him. How could it happen?"
Meanwhile, Maxim's mother Viktoria, who is obviously still traumatized by what has happened, put an emotional tribute to her son on a Russian social media site.
"Rest in peace, my beloved son," she said. "My dear little son. My pain does not ease even for a minute. How will I cope with it that you are not with me? I can't hug you. Only your photograph is here with your kind and tender look."
"I look at your picture and you are smiling to me," she continued. "I miss you so much my son. Please come to see me just for one second. Come to see me in my dreams. I know that you see everything now because you are flying so high."


In this paper, we propose a gesture-based interface designed to interact with panoramic scenes. The system combines novel static gestures with a fast hand tracking method. Our proposal is to use static gestures as shortcuts to activate functionalities of the system (i.e. volume up/down, mute, pause, etc.), and hand tracking to freely explore the panoramic video. The overall system is multi-user, and incorporates a user identification module based on face recognition, which is able both to recognize returning users and to add new users online. The system exploits depth data, making it robust to challenging illumination conditions.We show through experimental results the performance of every component of the system compared to the state of the art. We also show the results of a usability study performed with several untrained users.

Q: How do I create .NET framework 4.6 version of XUnit project in Visual Studio 2019? I notice when I start up Visual Studio 2019, I am unable to create a .NET Framework version of XUnit or NUnit (only MSTests). We have been mandated to use XUnit tests, but our solution is all .NET Framework. Some of the nuget packages are dependent on being .NET Framework (for Sitecore 8.2) and thus I can't add them to a .NET Core project. I cannot upgrade any of the legacy project to .NET Core or to Sitecore 9+ at this time.
How do I add in a .NET Framework XUnit project? Is there something wrong with my Visual Studio setup? Is it not supported? I have been unable to find documentation from Microsoft about this. Thanks.

A: *

*Install the xUnit Test Project Template for .net framework from here.

*Create a new xUnit Test Project (.NET Framework) project

A: *

*First use the xUnit Test Project (.NET Core) project template.

*Then go edit the .csproj file and change <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.2</TargetFramework> to <TargetFramework>net462</TargetFramework>.

*That's it. :)

21 Dec On Yer Bike: 1914 FN Model 285
Posted at 12:31h in Ducati, Motorcycle	by	fmmadmin
This month, FMM Curator Wayne Harley reveals a rare and unmolested Belgian motorcycle that poses the question – restore or not restore? Read on, and please give Wayne your thoughts…
The Franschhoek Motor Museum has some wonderful unrestored and exceptional historic gems in its motorcycle collection, one of which is a totally original single-cylinder 1914 FN Model 285. I've often wanted to haul out this beautiful artefact and get it into the workshop as a restoration project but could never allow myself to disturb the machine's rich 107-year-old patina. Back in 1975, this little FN was one of the first motorcycles to be acquired by the FMM's forerunner, the Heidelberg Motor Museum. It came from the Patrick Chapman Collection out of the UK, and has formed part of the museum's unseen collection ever since, so it is my honour to now share this bike's story with you.
La Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (FN, for short) came into being in 1889 in the city of Herstal, Belgium, and was primarily founded to produce rifles for the Belgian military, thanks to a government contract and an order for 150 000 Mauser rifles. I wonder how many of South African infantry troops ('troopies') of the '70s and '80s will remember the FN (FAL) rifles that later became the trusted R1/2 made under licence in South Africa? But that is a totally different story…
By 1900 the FN Company had diversified into bicycle, motorcycle, car and truck production with its first motorcycle being nothing more than a small 130 cc motor strapped to a bicycle. By December that year, their first full motorcycle was released, also powered by a 133 cc single-cylinder engine. Further development was quick, and soon a 188 cc and 224 cc engines became available. Then in 1904, a remarkable four-cylinder 393 cc in-line model was presented at the First World 'Salon de l'Auto' in Paris. This introduction followed MF Osmont completing an epic journey around Europe to promote the new machine with its single-speed, shaft-driven rear wheel being the first of its kind in the world. The four-cylinder FN was the premier motorcycle in the company's line-up and appeared in a number of guises until the end of 1923, superseded by the 748 cc M50 Model – one of the most gorgeous pre-war motorcycles ever released – until four-cylinder production stopped in 1926.
It is during this period of the company's history that the motorcycle being featured in this article made its appearance. FN released the Model 285 in 1912 and it was powered by a 285 cc four-stroke engine producing 1,8 kW which was also FN's first single-cylinder engine to no longer use an atmospheric inlet valve system. The Model 285 was also the first small-capacity motorcycle in the FN line-up to have a two-speed gearbox with a handlebar-mounted clutch lever and foot-operated rear brake. Shaft drive was now standard on all the small-capacity motorcycles as well as the bigger fours. Then in 1914 the pedal starting system was replaced with a more conventional kick-starter. The Model 285 was also one of the lightest motorcycles in the FN range, with a dry weight of only 58 kg.
By this stage in history, FN had not only acquired a reputation for quality and reliability but also for producing speed machines. In 1913, British TT rider RO Clark set a world record on a Model 285 with an average speed of over 70 km/h.
The outbreak of WWI and the German invasion of Belgium almost saw FN's demise, but in a strange turn of events, the German armed forces needed the company's motorcycles for their dispatch riders. In reality, this requirement kept the company going as FN was forced into producing motorcycles for the German war effort. By 1919, after hostilities ended, the company was able to resume producing vehicles again.
Over the next five decades, La Fabrique Nationale would go on to produce some stunning and memorable motorcycles, cars – and even trucks – with the last motorcycle being produced in 1967. By that time the company had already moved away from full-blown motorcycles into the moped market. By the end of 1968, the FN company had returned to arms production.
So, it will be interesting to get reader's opinions to determine if the Franschhoek Motor Museum should restore this motorcycle completely or leave it showing the patina of time as a testament to how well it has survived. Please let us know…


Here at Water's Edge Dental in Boise, ID we want all of our patients to have a healthy smiles for many years to come. We understand that accidents happen because they happen to us too! For this reason, restorative dentistry is an important part of our practice. Being able to provide our patients with great dental care is something we at Water's Edge Dental take great pride in. When you have a tooth that is bothering you, or if you just need regular cleaning and examination, please give us a call today at (208) 391-8554 we will get you scheduled right away!
Dental fillings are our way of dealing with cavities. When you miss a spot on your teeth for long enough, the bacteria that live in your mouth will buildup and produce an acid that eats away at the surface of your teeth. If we don't remove cavities from your teeth promptly, eventually the cavity will spread, and the tooth will die and need to be extracted. Today we use a composite resin to match the color of your teeth exactly when we place a filling. Composite fillings do a great job of saving your teeth and is durable enough to last many years, even decades.
When a tooth needs protection because it has suffered from extreme cases of physical trauma or decay, many times we can save it from extraction using a dental crown. Dental crowns are like little caps that look and function just like a real tooth that sits on top of your natural tooth.
When tooth loss becomes an issue, you should consider replacing it right away, and dental bridges are one of the most popular tooth replacement options. Dental bridges are made to bridge the gap that missing teeth leave to give you back the full form and function that you need from your teeth.
Dental implants are the very best method of replacing teeth that we have today. Dental implants are surgically inserted into your jaw bone and can support single tooth replacement or can be used in tandem to replace multiple missing teeth. When considering replacing missing teeth, dental implants should always be given some consideration because of how long-lasting they are and because of how much health they restore to the mouth.
When a tooth has a deep cavity sometimes the only way to save it is with a root canal. During a root canal, we remove the inner portions of the tooth and replace them with inert material, which helps our patients to avoid tooth loss.
Sometimes, when a tooth suffered severe trauma or decay, extraction is the best option. As mentioned above, if you ever have a tooth extracted, please consider tooth replacement.
Dentures and partial dentures are a great inexpensive way to replace missing teeth. They restore your ability to eat and speak as you did before tooth loss.
If you wake up with a sore jaw, or can't find a position where your jaw rests comfortably, there is a good chance that you suffer from the temporomandibular joint disorder or TMD. We offer TMJ therapy to our patients who suffer from TMD.
For those who are worried about their next trip to the dentist, have no fear! We offer a few different sedation options that will help you to feel relaxed and will make your trip a breeze.

outOfcontrol3 had the most liked content!
i really do like the animations of the older ones. i always look up cools gifs of guyver and the older ones are always so amazing. but obviously it's older and the animation isn't always amazing, but when it is good i think it's just on another level.
Yes the newer animation is better but at times when i watch the old it actually seems way more detailed. this could be because it's more gory though. I do feel like guyver is a mature violent manga and i love it that way! so the new one feels like it strays away a bit from that in my opinion. Thank you for the input also!
I completely agree! the voice acting in the new one seems silly at times and even the accents feel forced. thank you for your input.
I just finally saw that! sorry i've been sorta inactive but i always check on the site for new chapters. i've been on this site for years but never said anything but everyone here is so friendly and has so much love for guyver that i don't feel alone. i will join the review thread though and appreciate your input. i feel like the new series has too much of a appeal to everyone feel and not the dark violent guyver feel i grew up with.
Just wondering what everyone thought on this. I grew up with the old one and loved it and i'm watching the new one new after forgetting about it. But rewatching it now i just feel like the old one was a lot better, it just seemed way darker and more violent. Even though the art is old i actually really like the old style.
lol honestly the best idea.
hopefully it's not dead, i've been following guyver since i was 6 years old and i'm 26 now. I would really like it to be completed but sometimes the slow pace really kills me and i worry that it may never get finished. I remember picking up the animated movies at blockbuster when vhs was all we had and no dvds. Then i even got the live action movies and completely loved guyver. It even shaped how i ended up liking mangas and anime pretty much loving super action and bloody violent stuff like gantz, berserk, blame!, biomega, elfen lied, and others. Hopefully he gets an assistant that can help him finish the manga and all of us fans can get a nice ending and closure on this amazing manga.
i actually didn't think about that, imakarum hasn't been shown to be with alk when apollyon was with him. That really helps further that it could be imakarum. But i just thought the creators wanting to take away the zoalord crystals as a way of weakening alk's resistance like they want to come and confront him and not just flat out destroy everything quickly. I can't help but think there's gonna be some kind of creator moment in the manga, they keep showing the flash backs and we pretty much know who they are kind of. It would just be awesome to have some grand finish with them and to see a confrontation between alk and them again would be nice.
upon reading more this picture here makes me think it has to do with the creators even more. And also there's a point where he sees aptom and is confused by what he is. Wouldn't kami know what aptom is though? So why would kami want to return everything to nothing? That seems more like something the creators would want. also i feel a lot of the names mean something this may sound a bit wacky but if you just take kami out of murakami's name it means god or deity. So wouldn't the creators pretty much be god to everyone on earth since they created them?
what if murukami is a secret advent agent this whole time? I mean it's far fetched but it would really be a plot twist.

Since the attacks in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001 the world forever changed. The actions of an entire group of people are viewed microscopically. Muslims in America have been facing prejudice for over a decade.
The recent events that unfolded in Paris, France, only make it worse for Muslims like me to try to tell people — this isn't what Islam is.
Being raised in a very progressive household with two parents who didn't force me to learn Muslim values but rather seek them out for myself, I could understand, with my limited knowledge, that what I've read and what I've been taught are very different from what I've seen in the actions of ISIS and Al Qaeda.
The other problem is how Muslims are portrayed in western media. It's gotten to the point where even if you are wearing a turban, you're associated with terrorism. Most, if not 99 per cent, of Muslims, are just as horrified as their non-Muslim counterparts over the massacres in Paris.
Mohsin Qureshi, of North York, Ont., who travelled between Pakistan and Canada last year for school, has faced scrutiny when travelling.
"The first time I went back to Pakistan for school, going there was strange because I had a beard and everything going. People were giving me looks like, 'He may be a terrorist' and holding their kids close to them," he says. He noted other Muslims boarding the plane were being unjustifiably treated differently than the other passengers.
"It's scary how Muslims are looked at now because Harper basically deemed us suspicious and if you're a young man between the ages of 18 to 25 you automatically get pinned with the stereotype," Qureshi said.
A study by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) in the United Kingdom saw a climb in the number of verbal and physical attacks against Muslims. The last time the study was done was in 2010.
Of the 1,800 people surveyed, two-thirds reported they have fallen victim to verbal attacks, an increase from 40 per cent in 2010. At the same time, 82 per cent have seen some sort of Islamophobic action towards someone, up from 50 per cent the last time the report was taken.
In Canada, the racial tension is starting to parallel what the UK is facing. A recent poll was conducted by the Association for Canadian Studies, in Montreal, and the Toronto-based Canadian Race Relations Foundation, as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21. They found that 52 per cent of Canadians have very little trust or none at all of Muslims while only 42 per cent of Canadians trust Muslims a lot, or have some trust towards them.
The same survey found that Muslims are viewed has having the lowest level of "trustworthiness". Also 42 per cent of Canadians polled stated that this discrimination is mainly self-inflicted. The problem is even worse with French Canadians, as a reported only 30 per cent trust Muslims, while 57 per cent don't.
Two years ago, Mustafa Khan, 22, a student at Western University in London, Ont., came here to study psychology. He says he feels those numbers are too high for Canadians to feel that way.
Pakistan-born Khan says he always believed Canada welcomes others from all over the world without any prejudices.
"I think it's very ironic that people would call my religion a group of fanatics when only a small population has done the violence. At the same time, we see a white man go up and shoot up a public place, like a school or a theater, and [they] call him a lone wolf with mental issues," Khan states.
Perhaps the media are to blame when reporting the number of school shootings by young white men. Media point to an "isolated incident", but how can that be when there are so many occurring?
News outlets such as CNN are quick, in shooting incidents, to point out the white male normally involved as "acting alone" and typically having "a problem". The same could be said of ISIS and AL Qaeda. Whenever they do something terrible against humanity, shouldn't those actions be attributed to just them and not an entire group?
Our American neighbours have it even harder due to the fact that this hits close to home. Since the attacks over a decade ago, the tension with Muslims against the rest of the population has escalated.
"It's sad that the world's becoming like this. I've been raising my three children in this country with the expectation of being treated equally," Saria Rahman, of Chicago, Ill., says. "Since all this happened, me [sic] and other Muslims in our community have been nothing but sympathetic towards others.
"We mend bridges, and then after all of our work has been done with showing the world that we're not all monsters, more attacks are done almost instantly untying everything we've done," Rahman adds.
All this does more harm than good. What ISIS does not understand is that most Muslims don't agree with their motives. Everything they've done has inflicted more damage on the image of Islam worldwide and made it almost impossible for Muslims to live anywhere. That's even for Muslims, like Rahman, who want to show their children and teach them that it's not all bad and that peace shall overcome at the end of the day.

COVID-19: Help And Support For Irish Businesses
By Rory FineganMarch 2020November 18th, 2020No Comments
Published 24/03/2020, edited 26/03/2020 to update information about the Wage Subsidy Scheme and CRO filings, edited 05/04/2020 to include a link to the latest FAQs for the Wage Subsidy Scheme and the EI Continuity Voucher, edited 16/04/2020 to update information about the Wage Subsidy Scheme – Phase 2 and changes to CRO services.
Since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation, the Irish government has responded with a range of policies and supports.
Many of our clients have been asking what's available to help them through this period of uncertainty. Some businesses have been only slightly affected, but for others the new economic reality will prove insurmountable. We thought it would be helpful to list some of the advice, support, and funding that may be available for your business. We will do what we can to keep this list updated but bear in mind that it is not exhaustive.
Our main recommendation, if you find yourself facing financial difficulties, is that you get in contact with the organisation in question to work out a solution. Simply ignoring debts is not the answer and the best way out of any cash flow situation is to have a plan in place. Talk to your landlord, bank, energy company, suppliers, etc., and see what can be done to alleviate the situation. Check with your insurance company to see if you have any cover in the event of business disruption.
Our main recommendation, if you find yourself facing difficulties, is that you get in contact with the organisation in question to work out a solution.
If times are proving tough and you would like advice about managing your business finances, get in touch with us and we will set up a free session with a member of the team.
Help for businesses affected by the coronavirus
The Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation (DBEI) is now operating a Business Support Call Centre to advise on the government supports available to businesses and enterprises that are affected by COVID-19. The call centre can be contacted at 00 353 (0)1 631 2002, email infobusinesssupport@dbei.gov.ie.
They have a business continuity planning checklist and other resources on their website.
We're seeing a stimulus package equal to around 2% of GDP being made available to keep the economy on track as much as possible. This is roughly the same as other European countries and likely to be in place for at least 12 weeks.
The application of a surcharge for Corporation Tax returns (CT1) for accounting periods ending June 2019 onwards (i.e. due by March 23 onwards) has been suspended until further notice. Interest on late payments for January-February VAT and February-March PAYE has been suspended for SMEs. Debt enforcement activities have been suspended and existing tax clearance will remain in place over the coming months.
Revenue advises businesses to continue all their filings even if they are not able to pay any resulting liabilities. If the disruption means a business does not have sufficient information to fully complete a filing, they should make a "best guess" estimate and file anyway.
If you are having difficulties paying any tax liabilities, you can apply for a Phased Payment Arrangement (see our blog about applying for a PPA online) or apply to defer or suspend an existing PPA. If this is not an option, but you are having difficulties, engage with Revenue as soon as possible because they will be flexible in finding a solution as long as you keep communications open with them.
CRO Annual Returns
The Registrar of Companies has decided that all annual returns due to be filed now and up to 30th June 2020 will be deemed to have been filed on time if all elements of the annual return are completed and filed by that date – i.e. if you capture the B1 form, upload your financial statements, then pay the fee and submit it online. You may also complete the filing as normal using Revenue Online Services (ROS) signatures instead of a signature page.
CRO is running a basic service at this time. It's not possible to have documents delivered to their offices on Gloucester Place Lower, but they accept post delivered through An Post. They post updates about their services here: https://www.cro.ie/About-CRO/Contact-Us/Whats-New
Employers and employees
Keeping employees
If you plan to keep existing (i.e. already on the payroll during the period 1st February to 15th March) employees through the emergency but revenues have dropped by at least 25%, the government will co-fund their salaries. This is the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme, announced on 24th March set to run from 26th March for 12 weeks.
You can claim 70% of employee salaries up to a value of €410 weekly net (equivalent to the after-tax income of a worker on around €38,000). Salaries between €38,000 and €76,000 will be entitled to assistance capped at €350, while workers earning above €76,000 will be excluded from the scheme. Even if staff are temporarily not working or on reduced hours and/or reduced pay, this scheme allows employers to keep employees on the payroll and have them back at work as soon as business picks up.
Phase 2 of the Wage Subsidy Scheme
Changes to the scheme were announced on 15th April to improve the subsidy for those whose average net weekly pay was less than €500 as well as those whose average net weekly pay was in excess of €960. These will apply for payroll with a pay date on or after 4th May and received by Revenue on or after that date (no back-dating of increased subsidy will apply).
Employees with net pay less than €586 per week (€38,000)
Employees with previous average net pay up to €412 per week (equivalent to almost €24,400) will see an increase from 70% to 85% of their previous net weekly pay
Employees with previous average net pay between €412 and €500 per week (equivalent to €24,400-€31,000), will be subsidised up to €350 per week
Employees with net pay in excess of €586 per week (€38,000)
The maximum subsidy payable for these remains €350 per week. The tiered approach takes into account both the amount paid by the employer and the level of reduction in pay borne by that employee as follows:
Employer pays up to 60% of employee's previous average net weekly pay – up to €350 per week
Employer pays between 60% and 80% of employee's previous average net weekly pay – up to €205 per week
Employer pays over 80% of employee's previous average net weekly pay – no subsidy payable
The wage subsidy is now available to support employees where the average net pre-COVID-19 salary was greater than €76,000, and their gross post-COVID-19 salary has fallen below €76,000. The tiered arrangement applicable to gross incomes in excess of €38,000 will apply in such circumstances.
Example: if an employee was earning over €76,000 gross and has now been reduced to below €960 net pay a week, and their reduction is more than 20%, then a subsidy of up to €205 would be payable. If the reduction was more than 40% a subsidy of up to €350 would be payable. This subsidy will be tapered so as to ensure that the total net income (employer contribution + wage subsidy) does not exceed €960 net per week.
Comprehensive information and instructions for applying to the scheme and how to make these special payments to employees are on the Revenue site here: https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/communications/covid19/temporary-covid-19-wage-subsidy-scheme.aspx
Other supports are available to employees permanently laid off: https://www.gov.ie/en/service/be74d3-covid-19-pandemic-unemployment-payment/ or put on short time: http://www.gov.ie/en/service/c20e1b-short-time-work-support.
A payment of €350 per week is available if you cannot work because you have been advised by a doctor to self-isolate or have tested positive for COVID-19. This applies if someone you live with tests positive as this means you will also have to self-isolate: https://www.gov.ie/en/service/df55ae-how-to-apply-for-illness-benefit-for-covid-19-absences/.
The Government has agreed with local authorities that they should defer commercial rates payments due from the most immediately impacted businesses – primarily in the retail, hospitality, leisure, and childcare sectors for three months until the end of May. This measure will be implemented by each local authority in its own area.
The government has asked banks to make flexible arrangements with creditors, including 3-month payment breaks where necessary. Customers are advised to contact their bank directly.
Access to working capital
The Credit Guarantee Scheme supports loans up to €1 million for periods of up to 7 years. The government has repurposed this scheme to help impacted business obtain loans supporting changes made necessary by the pandemic. Applications can be made to AIB, Bank of Ireland, and Ulster Bank: https://dbei.gov.ie/en/What-We-Do/Supports-for-SMEs/Access-to-Finance/SME-Credit-Guarantee-Scheme/.
Microenterprises can access COVID-19 MicroFinance Ireland loans of up to €50,000 (double the usual amount). The terms include a six-month interest-free and repayment-free moratorium. The loan will then be repaid over the remaining 30 months of the 36-month loan period. Loans are available at an interest rate of between 6.8% and 7.8%. Businesses can apply through their Local Enterprise Office or directly from MicroFinance Ireland: https://dbei.gov.ie/en/What-We-Do/Supports-for-SMEs/COVID-19-supports/Microfinance-Ireland-COVID-19-Business-Loan.html.
The SBCI COVID-19 Working Capital Scheme for eligible businesses will be available shortly. Loans of €25,000 up to €1.5 million can be applied for under the scheme (first €500,000 unsecured) and the maximum interest rate will be 4%: https://dbei.gov.ie/en/What-We-Do/Supports-for-SMEs/COVID-19-supports/SBCI-Covid19-Working-Capital-Scheme-FAQ.html.

Hiroko Ichikawa, So Kanazawa, Masami K. Yamaguchi, Ryusuke Kakigi; Infants' brain activity in perceiving facial movement of point-light display. Journal of Vision 2010;10(7):573. doi: 10.1167/10.7.573.
Adult observers quickly identify the specific actions performed by the invisible actor from the points of lights attached to the actor's head and major joints. Even infants are already sensitive to biological motion and prefer it depicted by the dynamic point-light display (Arterberry & Bornstein 2001). To detect biological motion such as whole body movements and facial movements, neuroimaging studies demonstrated involvement of occipitotemporal cortex including superior temporal sulcus (STS) (Lloyed-Fox et al., 2009). In the present study, we applied the point-light display technique and examined infants' brain activity while watching facial biological motion in the point-light display by using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Dynamic facial point-light displays (FPD) were made from video recordings. As in Doi et al. (2008), about 80 luminous markers were scattered pseudo-randomly over the surface of the actors' face. Three actors performed the surprised expression in the dark room and were videotaped. In the experiment, we measured hemodynamic responses by using NIRS. We hypothesized that infants would show differential neural activity for upright and inverted FPD. The responses were compared to the baseline activation during the presentation of individual still images those were frames extracted from the dynamic FPD. We found that the concentration of oxy-Hb and total-Hb increased in right lateral area during the presentation of the upright FPD compared to the baseline period. The results suggested that (1) the brain activity while watching the facial movement in point-light display would develop by 6-8-months of age, (2) processing of the facial biological motion related to the right lateral area.

Q: How to know the elapsed time for json date I have a list of item which gets its data from server via json link, and one of the attribute is the date/time in which the item was created like so:
created_at: "2017-05-13T08:53:40Z"

I want to show this time in textview on top of each item but in Facebook-status like format =>
1 minute ago | 2 hours ago | 4 days ago | 5 months ago etc..
how can I do that.!?
Update
here's my my latest attempt. '_'
  public String getOrderTime() {

    GregorianCalendar now = new GregorianCalendar();
    Date time = getTime(); // getTime is coming from json

    Log.i("Json Time ", time + "");

    long MILLIS_PER_DAY = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
    long timePortion = time.getTime() % MILLIS_PER_DAY;

    Log.i("New Json Time ", timePortion + "");
    Log.i("Time Now ", now.getTimeInMillis() + "");

    String elapsed_time = DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(
            timePortion,
            now.getTimeInMillis(),
            DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS)
            .toString();

    Log.i("Elapsed Time", elapsed_time);

    return elapsed_time;
 }

Here are the logs, clearly something is wrong
I/Json Time: Sun May 14 03:27:22 EDT 2017
I/New Json Time: 26842000
I/Time Now: 1494747376756
I/Elapsed Time: Jan 1, 1970

Update 2
The new Method
  public String getOrderTime() {

    long end_time = theTime().getTime();  // json time
    long right_now = System.currentTimeMillis(); // right now

    Log.i("Time Now ", right_now + "");
    Log.i("Json Time ", end_time + "");

    long difference = right_now - end_time;
    Log.i("Elapsed Time", difference + "");

    if (difference < 60) {

        Log.i("Time in Minutes", difference + "m");
        return  difference + "m";

    } else {
        difference /= 60;
        if (difference < 24) {

            Log.i("Time in Hours", difference + "h");
            return difference + "h";

        } else {
            difference /= 30;

            Log.i("Time in Months", difference + "mo");
            return difference + "mo";
        }
    }

The Logs
     I/Time Now: 1494762022853
     I/Json Time: 1494758529000
     I/Elapsed Time: 3493853
     I/Time in Months: 1941mo

A: First, you need to calculate the difference between two dates, namely your given date and the current date:
long difference = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime()

difference will hold the difference in milliseconds
difference /= 60000; //minutes

if (difference < 60) {
    //minutes
} else {
    difference /= 60; //hours
    if (difference < 24) {
        //hours
    } else {
        difference /= 24; //days
        if (difference < 30) {
            //days
        } else {
            //months
        }
    }

Wells Fargo CEO Testifies Against Ban On Forced Arbitration
December 7, 2017 | Peter S. Lubin and Patrick Austermuehle
Despite claiming it's ready to make amends to its customers after multiple scandals involving things like opening bank accounts and lines of credit for its customers without their notice or consent, overdraft fees, and fraudulent car loans, Wells Fargo's CEO, Timothy Sloan, recently testified before the Senate Banking Committee to defend the bank's use of arbitration agreements.
This is in spite of the fact that the bank has said it will not enforce its arbitration agreements with the class of consumers seeking compensation for the money lost and damage done to their credit ratings as a result of the false accounts the bank opened on their behalf. Without the option to file a class action lawsuit against the bank, each customer would have been forced into individual arbitration, the cost of which would likely have caused many to abandon the case if the costs of filing were more than their claims were worth.
Most cases never make it through arbitration because of the cost, the inability to file as a class or collective action, and the private nature of arbitration that prevents people from becoming aware of legal actions with claims similar to theirs. And yet banks and Big Business advocates continue to insist that arbitration benefits consumers more than class action or collective action lawsuits.
Sloan even cited a study conducted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that Sloan claimed proved consumers received more redress from arbitration than collective actions or class actions.
In fact, Sloan was "cherry picking" data that fit with his argument and ignoring the CFPB's larger ruling on the issue, which found that, while arbitration may provide a larger payout to individual plaintiffs, it barred the vast majority of cases due to the fact that the cost of filing for arbitration often outweighs the amount of the claim – a problem solved in the courts by class actions.
In a new ruling, the CFPB banned forced arbitration clauses that required consumers to waive their right to class actions.
But Congress has the opportunity to repeal regulations made by agencies such as the CFPB within 60 days. Back in July, as the CFPB was moving to finalize the rule, the House of Representatives passed a resolution to veto the bill. The Senate has until early November to vote to repeal the bill, which has the support of more than thirty Republicans.
In his opening statements, Sloan acknowledged the ways in which Wells Fargo had let down its consumers, but promised to do better, saying the bank was a better bank than it was a year ago and it will be a better bank next year than it is today.
But Senator Elizabeth Warren was skeptical, pointing out Sloan's decades-long career with Wells Fargo as evidence that he might not be the best person to lead the bank through this change. Sloan was the chief operating officer when the news of the false accounts came to light, and he was promoted to CEO after Stumpf retired last year.
Warren claimed Sloan should have been fired, rather than promoted, saying he was at least incompetent, if not complicit in the bank's mismanagement that resulted in the multiple class action lawsuits against the bank, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. She also told him he should be fired.
