Asphalt pavement is often used for parking lots because of its durability, cost-effectiveness, and strength. It is the material of choice for parking lots across the nation because asphalt withstands heavy loads and lasts for many years when combined with proper asphalt maintenance.
However, as with all things, asphalt also has it's downside: as soon as freshly laid hot asphalt pavement mix begins to cool, the aging process begins. A middle Tennessee parking lot has many enemies: gas, oil, sun oxidation, salt, water penetration, and hot or cold weather.
Oxygen and water combine with asphaltic binder of the pavement causing a chemical change. This process is necessary in the beginning for the pavement to become hard and firm. However, if the process is not halted, a complete deterioration of the asphaltic binder will take place and soon your new asphalt parking lot will be nothing but a layer of loose stone.
Asphalt repair – better than new!
As asphalt pavement progresses through its life-cycle, its appearance diminishes over time. Hairline cracks spread and deepen within the asphalt. Without ongoing maintenance, water will enter through cracks and holes may form, undermining the substrate. The most effective form of repair is to remove and replace the deteriorated area.
In more severe cases of asphalt failure, a long-term solution is to resurface the asphalt pavement (also referred to as overlay). If you notice grade depressions (standing water on the pavement) and/or large sections of alligatored areas (interconnecting cracks forming a series of blocks resembling an alligator's skin), it is a good idea to have your pavement resurfaced.
This unique method of asphalt repair blends hot-mix asphalt right in with the original asphalt and then compacts the area to create a seamless restoration. If you notice potholes, pavement heaving or uneven surfaces surrounding catch basins, or rough surfaces in drive lanes or parking stalls, it is a good idea to consider infrared repair.

Q: SearchBar is blocking until I press Cancel I really tried very much but I can't figure it out.
I implemented a Search Bar in a TableView and when I search something the the methods are running in the Background but nothing happens in the User Interface until I click the Cancel Button. After I clicked this Button everything is running exactly like I wanted.
    func searchBarSearchButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
    searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
    performSearchWithText(searchText: searchBar.text!)
}
    private func performSearchWithText(searchText: String) {
    self.photos = []

    FlickrBrain.fetchPhotosForSearchText(searchText: searchText, onCompletion: {
        (error: NSError?,flickrPhotoIds:[String]?)-> Void in

        if error == nil {
            self.photoIds = flickrPhotoIds!

                  DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: { () -> Void in
                    self.title = searchText
                    self.tableView.reloadData()
                })

        }else {
            self.photoIds = []
            if (error!.code == FlickrBrain.Errors.invalidAccessErrorCode) {

                })
            }
        }

    })
}

It would save me a lot of time if somebody can help me, I tried everything i can

N.E.R.D of N*E*R*D is een Amerikaanse rock-, funk- en hiphopband.

Pharrell Williams en Chad Hugo waren gecontracteerd door Teddy Riley bij Virgin Records als een duo: The Neptunes. Na het produceren van liedjes voor verschillende artiesten door de jaren heen vormden de duo de band met Shay Haley. N.E.R.D's debuutalbum, In search of..., verkocht 603.000 exemplaren in de Verenigde Staten. Het tweede album van N.E.R.D, Fly or die, verkocht daar 412.000 exemplaren.

In 2005 maakte N.E.R.D een einde aan hun contract met Virgin. Drie jaar later had de band een reünie met een contract onder Star Trak Entertainment. Het derde album van de band, Seeing sounds, verkocht 80.000 exemplaren in de Verenigde Staten in de eerste week.

De naam van de band is een acroniem van No One Ever Really Dies, zoals Pharrell Williams op zijn website verklaart:

"What does N.E.R.D stand for? N.E.R.D stands for No One Ever Really Dies. The Neptunes are who we are and N.E.R.D is what we do. It's our life. N.E.R.D is just a basic belief, man. People's energies are made of their souls. When you die, that energy may disperse but it isn't destroyed. Energy cannot be destroyed."

Biografie

Vorming en eerdere carrière
Pharrell Williams en Chad Hugo leerden elkaar kennen op twaalfjarige leeftijd op een zomerkamp voor muzikanten, waar ze het beide niet naar hun zin hadden. In hun vrije tijd maakten ze beats en traden ze op met hun jeugdvriend Timbaland. Williams en Hugo leerden Shay Haley kennen op de middelbare school en begonnen samen op te treden. Het trio ging vaak naar Hugo's garage, waar ze beatboxten, terwijl Haley danste.

2001-2002: In search of...
Het debuutalbum van de band, In search of..., kwam in 2001 in Europa uit. Het album was geproduceerd door The Neptunes; ze gebruikten gelijksoortige digitale productietechnieken zoals ze deden voor andere artiesten. Maar de band wilde een ander soort geluid voor hun eigen album. Het album debuteerde op nummer 61 in de Billboard 200 en bereikte uiteindelijk plaats 56. Het album faalde wel vergeleken met het andere werk van The Neptunes. Het album verkocht 603.000 exemplaren in de Verenigde Staten en werd door RIAA als goud gecertificeerd.

De eerste single die N.E.R.D uitbracht in 2002 was Lapdance, dat een bescheiden hit werd in Nederland. De twee opvolgende nummers, Rockstar en Provider, kwamen echter niet verder dan de tipparade. Toch stond de band dat jaar in een uitverkochte Paradiso in Amsterdam.

2004-2008: Fly or die en Seeing sounds
Bij het tweede album Fly or die (2004) werd gebruikgemaakt van dezelfde formule als op het debuutalbum. Het bevat tevens bijdragen van onder andere de broers Benji en Joel Madden van de punkrock-band Good Charlotte. Met de van dit album afkomstige single She wants to move brak N.E.R.D definitief in Nederland door. De band trad datzelfde jaar op op het jaarlijkse festival Pinkpop in Landgraaf. Ook stonden ze die zomer in de HMH in Amsterdam. De hieropvolgende single Maybe, waaraan Lenny Kravitz zijn medewerking verleende, belandde ook in de Top 40, hoewel het succes van She wants to move niet geëvenaard werd.

Hierna bleef het rondom de band lang stil, ook omdat Pharrell druk werkte aan zijn solocarrière. In 2007 werd echter bevestigd dat er toch een nieuw album zou komen en in het voorjaar van 2008 kwam dit er inderdaad. De titel van het nieuwe album was Seeing sounds Het was wederom een moeilijk in één stijl te omvatten album, met invloeden uit veel verschillende muziekstijlen. De muziek varieert van snerpende gitaarsolo's tot drum-'n-bass-achtige nummers. Het album bracht drie singles voort, namelijk Everyone nose, Spaz en Sooner or later. Tevens ging de band in 2008 toeren en deed zodoende vier keer Nederland aan: Lowlands, de Melkweg en de HMH in Amsterdam en Club Watt in Rotterdam.

2010-2017: Nothing en No one ever really dies
In 2010 verscheen het vierde album Nothing, met daarop onder meer de single Hot-n-fun (een samenwerking met Nelly Furtado). Het album werd slechts een bescheiden succes. In 2015 maakte N.E.R.D drie nummers voor de film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, waaronder de single Squeeze me. In december 2017 kwam een geheel nieuw album van de groep uit, genaamd No one ever really dies. Het met Rihanna opgenomen nummer Lemon werd hiervan de leadsingle.

Discussion in 'ACC General Discussions' started by Aristotelis, Sep 6, 2018.
In my opinion, ACC has the best and most believeable rain physics on track, i ever experienced in a racing simulation so far!
And when you hit a puddle...oh no, just don't.
The FFB works pretty good there too, even, when it's imho a little bit to dampened in dry conditions , but in the wet it's pretty okay.
Its interesting how much more composed I am in the storm conditions driving alone than with AI on track. Seems I just don't have the mental capacity to drive at what feels like the 'limit' on that level of insanity whilst also trying to work my way through (and avoid when they decide to stop) the AI.
Alone you can just focus 100% on minimising throttle inputs and can remember where the dangerous puddles are.
That's the problem actually. Even in the worst raining conditions, driving alone allows you to predict situations. Racing, needs extra movements depending what your opponents do... that adds unpredictability and it's the worse case scenario in heavy rain.
Fremen_78, Dean Ogurek and D_Rod like this.
But really I can't get over how great the wet driving is already, even without any of the evolving/dynamic stuff. Easily the highlight of ACC so far for me.
Fremen_78, martcerv, Sir Simon and 2 others like this.
The wet driving is for sure the highlight of AC. For sure ! And there even seems not to be too many puddles in the Nurb (but where they are, you get to know them ), also drying line is not in just yet, as well as dynamic conditions. And most importantly - the alternative racing lines in the way which will just happen naturally when the rubbered smooth tarmac will get wet and provide so much less grip than off line (unless you'll be brave enough to slide through it and hope to grip up, I guess ). Can you imagine how much more fun it will get ?
Really love driving in the wet, especially heavy and storm. Heavy rain looks much better than storm because in storm tarmac and gravel traps seems not to be shaded well. But it is storm when the true expected wet driving feel kick in, very very very believable, it really must be spot on, it was true gt3 cars can be very exciting (and with such awesome physics I actually love them in the dry too, really amazing feel, the immersion, the awareness, it is weird how for first hour or two of driving i didn't like it that much as I did later). Love it.
I'd expect Heavy rain to have significant puddles, much like in the storm, while in the storm I would expect even more rough conditions, or does track collect more water over the time ? But seems quite static in this initial release, I suppose will come with dynamic weather, really can not wait for that.
Kerbs has surprisingly a lot of grip.
Tires feel amazing, I feel like they are all so busy in so much different tasks each, they really do lots of stuff, and are so dynamic, really having a feeling being on four wheels. There is so much of play with the car actually, perhaps maybe as much as it would be with some classic car, it all just happens within narrower slip angles and quicker. I also love the significant grip fall-off over the peak, thats something I used to hope. Weirdly in my first hours i didn't enjoy the car too much, felt like peak slip angles are just too small, and you just had no right to play with the car, but it somehow changed rather quickly, and I started really having a blast.
More about tires. Force feedback is epic ! I suppose it is going to be adjusted, but I hope not much away from how it is now. Using T300 here. FFB feels minimalistic and authentic to me, very clean feel, I don't know if any output details are missing (i suppose probably not, but not sure, thinking about longitudinal weight transfer, but not sure at all). The ffb feels all about front wheels, and it feels awesome. I am not sure if I am right, placebo could be strong, but i suppose there could be little mismatch between peak lateral force and peak self aligning torque, which should be absolutely realistic, and makes you do those famous sawing steering wheel movements as you try to locate the very peak slip angle + catching the slides, balancing front vs rear. Also you kinda feel the rubber lol, you feel like there is tiny delay of wheel to tire patch actions, front vs rear relationships are more pronounced, you feel as the car shifted cm or two because of tires flexing, or rear end starts "swimming" a bit.
ACC is fantastic achievement right from first day, or second I feel weird, but I have to admit that in general the first day I had rather bad first impression, but it was mostly about other things than physics and ffb.

Im fairly sure currently track gets wetter over time, when running light rain puddles were building for me. Quite fun to run slicks in light rain but I was still a bit faster on wets but if track dried a little it would open up the option of dry or wet tyres. A drying track once thats implemented can likely still be much wetter then light rain off line but dryer on.
Once mp is in I will be running some servers and weather will be variable not always sunny like the majority of servers I suspect will be.
I think one of the most fun parts of rain-driving is when the track begins to dry and running the dry-line becomes the challenge. Going off line can make things interesting quickly and managing grip-levels under changing conditions becomes essential.
I lost the rear recently when I hit the painted curbing coming out of a turn in light rain so I suspect that hazard is present in ACC.
Thank you guys for your nice words. We knew the new tyre model is "talking a lot and fast" and also knew the cars are "harder". They need some time, but we were confident that you guys would start to appreciate the results and it is happening.
As @mantasisg said, of course the peak and re-alignment force have different peaks, but most importantly you can feel the movement of the footprint while it flexes laterally and longitudinally. Pressures and heat also go to influence this, can make a lot of subtle differences on how the tyre reacts and gives back feedback.
Wet conditions start in a clean track, so you still don't get the rubbered line. Next release hopefully.
Puddles do form deeper, the more you run under rain conditions, even in this release. But puddles at the real Nurburgring are low in number and in depth. It was actually a decision of big discussion inside Kunos as we wanted to showcase the wet simulation and Nurburgring wasn't the best example. But it was the best choice for the Sim-Expo and final Blancpain sprint race that is happening as we speak. Still it is also a good example that we're not going to overdo an effect just because it's cool. We make them in a realistic manner from circuit to circuit. Some of them have a lot and are dangerous, some of them have much less and have more grip under rain conditions.
Kerbs have quite less grip, but the good TC is saving you if you drive properly over them. Go over them a bit too "happy" especially with some lateral slip, and you'll be in danger. Still, they should have even less grip and they will, but surprise surprise... the AI can't handle them and it's not easy to make them "understand". But we will get there.

Its good to see this, I know Project cars doesnt go by this logic. They have swimming pools in some corners which just ruins the wet driving experiance with their over used cool effect. Same with the Forza series who like to make rally stage water splashes mid race track.
Awesome stuff ! The physics+ffb are really subtle, no doubt, needs a hour or a few to get used and then it feels magic.
I think Nurburgring and no rubbered lines is actually best for initial release. Starting small and then going big, the best. Many people would be overwhelmed by more puddles I suppose. There are so many people who are giving up so easily on their first impressions, even if thats just them not being used to something. I've experienced that as a modder, and been the one who had wrong first ipression many times as well. Rubbered lines will be "wtf" for so many people, many won't understand whats happening, good not to have it right at the beginning. I hope everyobody will learn it.
As for wet WHITE lines, I think we should see them how they looks. Wet surface is as dangerous as smooth it is, because when it is smooth there is nothing to break the film of water, and nothing for rubber to hold on. So if the paint is very thin layer, then it probably doesn't break the water film, but if it is thick and goes above tarmac it definitely should be slippery. Also paint, rubber and stuff makes local tarmac suface drainage worse, I think.
Saw this kool video today. Extreme wet lines. That must be very wide rubber build up in the curves.
Freddie Seng, RSR2KX and Schnipp like this.
Probably a stupid question, but i noticed that the "ideal pressure" is between low 25 and 26.0. Between those values the middle bar is at the same heigth as the other two. Is it correct to believe that i have more grip between those 2 values or it's not necessarily the rule and tyres with the middle bar higher could produce more grip?
Thank you guys for your nice words.
Hi Aris, thanks for your excellent work, into the sim and here in the forum.
Puddles do form deeper, the more you run under rain conditions, even in this release.
Sorry to waste your time, but can you explain this a little bit?
If i choose light rain (the 1st rain's step), lap after lap puddles will form in the track. But until what deep level?
Can the puddles reach the maximum level even with light rain?
Or there is a limit which every rain condition can't exceed?
Related on what Aris said, i've tried to see how visually the track is changing under the rain.
i've make a screen at the start and the the end of the test, just for a comparison. To my eyes, ingame i haven't see any tarmac change, but, surprise, watching the 2 screen there was a little change in the track and some little river was becoming to show.
So, i've tried the max possible solution to see track changing under the rain.
Under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Assetto Corsa Competizione\AC2\Content\Presets\weatherJson there are the 5 weather preset for this build.
I've modified the file n°5 (equivalent to storm ingame) just to leave the max rain possible, but have a dry track to the start of the session.
Due to forum's limits, i've upload only 10 screens, obviuosly the step between a screen to another is total smooth ingame.
To be fair, i don't know if track's change is related to time multiplier or to realtime (you can se booth on the screens), but it doesn't care for now i guess.

I just remember a rental karting sessing with rain tires during steady heavy rain. It was total mental and fun at the same time. But what I was not expecting was that the kart understeered heavily in corners and you required to be hard on the throttle to reduce the understeer. If you lift the gas you get pushed outside of the corner. It basically means if you are to fast in the corner you are doomed.
That's typical dynamics of a kart, regardless of the weather (i.e., even in the dry), due to the lack of a differential.
Isn't it funny how people always claim that the DTM, and the cars are "boring"? Nothing boring about that vid.
Watched that yesterday, just grand. And also a good indicator on how many different weather and grip situations a driver has to face during a race. He starts with wet tyres (or inter, dunno what DTM has), then switches to slicks, obviously, on his stop, then it starts to rain again, and he has to seriously show some driving skills, to keep the car on the track. Lovely to watch really.
Assetto Corsa DTM as the next sim after ACC?
baboon and mantasisg like this.
Thanks for the answer and hope that "at least not now" will change at a later date One would think that they are tiny thing on massive wide track, but actually they always overlap with the racing trajectories and do spice things up no end.
@Aristotelis Would overinflated tires work better removing the water, and vice versa ? Also would a slick tire perform better in the wet if it was overinflated ? I tried to go with slicks in the storm, then I tried maximum inflation, softest arbs, neutral cambers, car seemed like if it could be faster, but the pace really was pretty much the same, perhaps the car just felt more stable, or placebo. As for wet tires, I tried minimum pressure and wet tires with 29psi felt hardly different than 19psi, I expexted to have much more hazzards with minimal inflation in wet tires.
It's a compromise. Sure you might get a bit less acquaplanning, but you get more load sensitivity and so less grip. Also the higher spring rate can make the tyre jump more and that's even worse.
Schnipp and mantasisg like this.
Thanks I like trying to understand tires.
I used to think about load sensitivity, difficult to understand it. But didn't think about it too much for wet surfaces yet. I wonder if it is still as important factor when on the wet tarmac versus how it is on the dry tarmac. I assumed it could work differently, thought that there could be less rubber deformation/strain in the wet due to damping of water and less friction because of lost amount of adhesion.
I just remember reading that it is advised not to have too low pressures in wet, because water can build up in the middle of the contact patch. Also that it takes tire pressure to bite through the water layer. But I suppose it could be that 19PSI is still good for those tires, as for hydroplaning vs load sensitivity compromise.
Didn't really think about load sensitivity before, now I will have something to think about.

Gold Coast Airport, or Coolangatta Airport, (IATA: OOL, ICAO: YBCG) is an Australian domestic and international airport on the Gold Coast and is located some 100 km (62 mi) south of Brisbane and 25 km south of Surfers Paradise. The entrance to the airport is situated in the suburb of Bilinga on the Gold Coast. The runway itself straddles 5 suburbs of twin cities across the state border of Queensland and New South Wales. During summer these states are in two different time zones.
Gold Coast Airport is currently the sixth busiest international airport in Australia and the 3rd fastest growing airport in the country.[2]

Gold Coast Airport Statistics[3]
Total Passengers
Until 1999, the airport was known as Coolangatta Airport. It originally consisted (1936) of three grass strips with the intention of only providing emergency landing ground for airmail aircraft transiting between Brisbane and Sydney. Finally, passenger flights took off for the first time in 1939, using the then grassy field of the current Coolangatta site. Regular services were started by Queensland Airlines and Butler Air Transport after the Second World War. Ansett started its own services in 1950 using DC-3s, while Trans Australia Airlines did the same in 1954 using DC-3s too as well as DC-4s and Convairs to link other Australian cities.[4]
By 1958, the taxiways and runways were fully paved, with the later being upgraded a decade later to allow jet operations with DC-9 and L-188 Electra aircraft to began. The current terminal, entitled Eric Robinson Building, was officially opened in 1981 by Acting Prime Minister Douglas Anthony, when at the time more than 650,000 passengers were using the airport. The following year, the main runway was lengthened to 2,042 m (6,699 ft), thus permitting the use of wide-body jets by the two domestic operators Ansett Australia and Trans Australia Airlines and their Boeing 767 and Airbus A300 respectively on flights from Melbourne and Sydney.[4]
On 1 January 1988, the airport ownership was transferred from the government to the Federal Airports Corporation. Its full privatisation occurred a decade later, when it was taken over by Queensland Airports Limited (QAL) on 29 May 1998. By 1999, the company's name had changed to become Gold Coast Airport Pty Ltd (GCAPL).[5] The airport suffered from the collapse of Ansett in 2001– Ansett had operated direct services from the Gold Coast to 12 Australian destinations.
In 2003 GCAPL was taken over by Queensland Airports Limited and today also own and operate Mount Isa Airport and Townsville Airport.[6]
Despite the name change from Coolangatta Airport to Gold Coast Airport during change of ownership, the airport still carries its original IATA Airport Code, OOL.
In 1990, the airport welcomed its first international charter service from New Zealand, and by 1999, Air New Zealand low-cost subsidiary Freedom Air started scheduled no-frills service from Hamilton, New Zealand with Boeing 737s. In 2007, the airport celebrated the arrival of AirAsia X, which began services directly to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Tiger Airways Australia, which started services to Melbourne. By January 2008, the Kuala Lumpur route had proved so popular, that all flights up to the month of March were completely booked. AirAsia X announced that they would begin a daily service from 6 February 2010.[7]
On 22 September 2008 it was announced that Air Pacific will expand its services to Australia with the introduction of twice weekly flights between Nadi, Fiji and the Gold Coast commencing December 2008. Air Pacific's Managing Director and CEO, John Campbell, said "Australia is Fiji's number one source of visitors and with the population growing rapidly in the South East corner of Queensland we know the time is right to introduce this service." The new route commenced on 1 December 2008 with two flights per week operated by 160 seat Boeing 737–800 aircraft on a Monday and Saturday. The service has since been suspended.
By 2009, Jetstar begun flying at least twice daily to Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. Services to New Zealand increased as well with Jetstar, Air New Zealand and Pacific Blue flying to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Airnorth also started services to the airport from Darwin, via Mount Isa. In addition, Virgin Blue announced direct services from Canberra and Townsville. This opens up connections between all three QAL owned airports – Mount Isa Airport, Townsville Airport and Gold Coast Airport.
2010 saw Jetstar announce the airport as its newest hub, increased services to Cairns[8] and new direct services to Perth[9] and Queenstown.[10] Tiger Airways also announced their newest base at Avalon Airport in Geelong, and said that services from Avalon to the Gold Coast will commence later in the year;[11] however, services to Adelaide would be cut due to delays in receiving new aircraft which were meant to be for their new Avalon base.[12]
On 13 June 2010, start up airline Pacific Flier began weekly services from Koror, Palau, using an Airbus A310. The route has since been suspended due to traffic rights and terminal access being halted in Palau.[13]
On 26 October 2010, Gold Coast Airport was named the 2010 Major Airport of the Year 2010 by the Australian Airports Association (AAA).[14]
On 16 November 2010, Jetstar announced new daily direct services to Hobart.[15]
On 30 March 2011, Gold Coast Airport was named the Best Regional Airport Asia/Pacific and was awarded the Staff Service Excellence Australia/Pacific award at the Skytrax World Airport Awards in Copenhagen, Denmark.[16]

It is anticipated that a railway station will be constructed at the airport when the Gold Coast Line is extended. The recently opened Tugun Bypass provides a much faster road link to the Airport, with the bypass also featuring a tunnel under the runway.[17]
The airport opened an extension to the main runway as well as a full length parallel taxiway in May 2007. The runway will be 2,500 m (8,202 ft) long, allowing for heavier aircraft with greater range to takeoff.[18] On 16 May 2007, the runway extension was officially inaugurated by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Transport, the Hon Mark Vaile MP.[19]
Gold Coast Airport appointed ADCO Constructions as the principal design and construct contractor for a $100 million redevelopment of the airport's main terminal. Completed in 2010, the project has doubled the size of the existing facility to almost 27,000 m2 (290,000 sq ft), incorporating domestic and international operations with self service kiosks and 40 common user check-in desks. The works will accommodate forecast growth for the next 10 years with a further expansion, stage two, scheduled to kick in upon demand. The main terminal – Terminal 1 – currently houses operations for Jetstar Airways, Virgin Australia, Air New Zealand, Airnorth, Pacific Blue Airlines and AirAsia X. Terminal 2 accommodates Tiger Airways Australia.
Tiger Airways Australia flights operate from a low cost terminal with basic amenities, located approximately 200 m (660 ft) from the main terminal building. The building is loosely similar to Terminal 4 at Melbourne Airport but on a much smaller scale.
SEAIR Pacific, a scheduled and charter airline based at Gold Coast Airport, operate from their own hangar situated in the general aviation part of the airport.
The following airlines operate scheduled and in some cases chartered passenger flights from Gold Coast Airport.

Australian air Express uses the belly space of Jetstar aircraft to transport cargo domestically. It is also contracted for Jetstar international flights and Air New Zealand flights from the airport. It offers same day/overnight and standby services domestically airport to airport and airport to door from Gold Coast Airport.[21]
Coast Cargo offers a full range of international and domestic logistics services at Gold Coast Airport. As a privately owned, IATA-accredited freight forwarder Coast Cargo provides both inbound and outbound freight services on all airlines at Gold Coast and Brisbane Airports. At Gold Coast Airport, Coast Cargo provides numerous services including courier, international and domestic pet animal transport services on Virgin Blue and Pacific Blue airlines, line-haul services Gold Coast to Brisbane and international and domestic freight services.[22]

I Got myself misleaded when you said you can implement stacks and queues on top od linked list. What do you mean by that?
Super quick, a stack is a stack of books. You can only put books on top and remove them from the top. So the first book you put is always the last to come in, because after a few books are added it will be at the bottom. To get to that you need to get each and every book sitting on top.
A linked list is a collection of nodes with data in which every node points to something, except the first one that points to nothing.
If you see the example Ali made:
to get to Ariana Grande (the book at the bottom in our stack example) you need to go through all the ex boyfriends. You would have to implement the two operations push and pop instead of remove_value which removes an arbitrary node (forbidden in a stack) but I hope you can see how you can map a stack on top of a linked list.
A queue is a similar concept. The difference between a stack and a queue is that a stack is last-in-first-out (the last boyfriend you add to the structure is the first one to go), a queue is first-in-first-out (the last boyfriend you add to the structure is the last one to go, in this case it's more similar to real-life).
I hope it's a bit clearer


20 years ago, Lunchtime Company made a commitment to make some fundamental changes to school catering.
We firmly believed then, as we do now, that we should be able to make the lunchtime meal in all schools the highlight of the day. Our vision is to bring the catering to the heart of each school, where students, staff and teachers can all experience the enjoyment of eating together. We also believe that a really good diet improves class concentration. So in our small way we'd like to think that we're helping with educational outcomes.
It has made such a difference to the meal take up at our school, now that we have our own tailored menu cycle – thank you!

Historia
Diecezja powstała 9 stycznia 1857 z terenu dotychczasowej diecezji Quincy. 26 października 1923 przestała istnieć, a jej terytorium zostało objęte w nowo utworzonej diecezji ze stolicą w Springfield.

W 1995 papież Jan Paweł II utworzył katolickie biskupstwo tytularne Alton.

Q: When should I use HttpRequestMessage as parameter in web api When do I use the first action?
public HttpResponseMessage Put(HttpRequestMessage message)
{

}

I nearly always see only this way. Maybe because it easily maps to a restfull url?
public HttpResponseMessage Put(int id)
{

}

A: public HttpResponseMessage Put(HttpRequestMessage message)

is equivalent to:
public HttpResponseMessage Put()

The HttpRequestMessage parameter is automatically bound so that you can get hold of request information in your controller method if you need to (source). If you don't need to access it, omit it.
If you need to pass an id, you will need:
public HttpResponseMessage Put(HttpRequestMessage message, int id)


Asha Telang holds her BPA conference pin she received during the annual meeting.
Mercy's BPA (Business Professionals of America) are now planning to make changes to their traditional club for the upcoming 2018-2019 school year.
BPA is a national club in which schools participate in charters to promote student development in leadership, education, and technological skills. BPA members attend conferences in which they can test their skills and knowledge on business matters.
"We usually are given test materials through books and outlines provided by Mrs. (Hallie( Smith, our facilitator, so we can study before the conference," said sophomore Peyton Black.
New officers were elected at BPA's last meeting in late May. They are sophomores Peyton Black, Brooklynne Bates, Asha Telang, and Charlotte Bridges.
The four members are also aiming to make the cut for the state conference, where only the top six teams in the county are invited to attend.
Not only is Mercy's BPA planning to expand within the school, but members also hope to make connections with other charters in the area.

210th Field Artillery Brigade
CAMP CASEY, Republic of Korea – Soldiers from the 210 Field Artillery Brigade are treated to a Black Bean Noodle lunch put on by a local community volunteer group at Camp Casey, South Korea, 22 June, 2022.
The "Stepping Stones to Love" organization is a local community volunteer group who provides meals to groups to show appreciation for their services. For the event on Camp Casey, the group provided a food truck that served black bean jajangmyeon noodles to over 200 Soldiers. This event was put on as a way to show thanks to the U.S. Soldiers for their service in the Republic of Korea.
"This is the way for our community partners to show their appreciation to American Soldiers serving in the Republic of Korea," said Capt. Kyle O'Grady, the 210 Field Artillery Brigade Civil Affairs Officer. "This is my first time trying jajangmyeon so I am really looking forward to it!"
Jajangmyeon is a traditional South Korean noodle dish that has been enjoyed for hundreds of years, where noodles are served with a sauce made from black beans.
The event was held inside of a warehouse located on Camp Casey where a food truck was set up to serve the service-members. After a speech from the Stepping Stones to Love Director, Mr. Lee Soo Young, those in attendance started to enjoy the meals that were brought for them.
"I am the owner of a restaurant that specializes in jajangmyeon, so this event here at Camp Casey is a way for me to give something back to the U.S. Soldiers who are here defending the Republic of Korea," said Lee Soo Young "Americans typically eat pasta noodles with a red or white sauce, so to have noodles with black bean sauce might be something new to them. We have served this to Soldiers at the JSA and they loved it, so I am sure they will also love it here at Camp Casey."
The event concluded with the Soldiers as well as the Stepping Stones to Love team members having full stomachs and hearts. The food as well as the company was very much appreciated by the personnel in attendance and showed them that what they do day in and day out is important to people.

The age-old question of "what am I going to have on my toast today?" has finally been solved, and it's all thanks to feijoas and the people who make jam from them. When I passed this jar of feijoa jam at the Mitchelton Markets in Brisbane's northside, I- like many people I would imagine- stopped with a quizzical look on my face which the people from Hinterland Feijoas must be quite accustomed to.
So what are feijoas? They are also known as a pineapple guava, probably because they taste like a combo of those two summery fruits. While I was asking about the jam, the word pineapple popped-up, which had me sold! It's summer now, and the lead-up to Christmas so this sounded like the perfect festive addition to my December diet.
I tried the jam on some toasted turkish bread and I'm not sure how I'm going to go back to ye-olde strawberry jam again. The feijoa jam was unique; while it smelled like pineapple, it was far more subtle-tasting than I had anticipated and not overly sweet. It had a rustic jelly-like consistency but still spread easily. This jam would go really well with scones or damper which would allow the jam's delicate taste to really shine through. Damper and feijoa jam is something I've now added to the Aussie Christmas breakfast menu- move aside vegemite!.
Hinterland Feijoas grow their fruit organically, which I'm thinking is a big reason why their produce tastes so good. While I've only tried the plain old feijoa jam (I love that I now sound like a feijoa aficionado) there are a range of other feijoa jams and chutneys such as feijoa and ginger jam, feijoa and rosella jam, feijoa and boysenberry jelly and a cured feijoa chutney which would really bring an extra taste of summer to whatever meat you've thrown on the BBQ.
The people at Hinterland Feijoa also have an impressive array of feijoa recipes on their site, so if you're not sure what to do with fruit, they've got you covered. One of the latest recipes up there is for Feijoa and Mint Macarons- how can that not be a good thing?

Papers Session 2
Paper Sessions
MAB20's academic track includes four Paper Sessions, where the selected full papers and Late-Breaking Works (LBW) will be presented via Zoom. Each session will feature six 5-minute presentations followed by discussion. This session will be moderated by Dr Alexander Wiethoff, Senior Lecturer at LMU Munich. See below the selected papers to be presented in this session:
Decolonizing the Urban Screen: An Argument and Approach for First Peoples-led Content Programs in Massive Media
Susie Anderson (Science Gallery Melbourne), Niels Wouters (The University of Melbourne) and
Ryan Jefferies (Science Gallery Melbourne).
Urban growth continues to colonise and have devastating impacts on unceded lands and sites significant to Traditional Owners. In the wake of urban expansion, millennia of cultural traditions and culturally significant stories are often concealed or erased as concrete is poured or as lights turn on. The continuing emergence of massive media in the urban environment presents an additional risk for cultural erasure as places turn into screen spaces. We provide an argument for massive media and their content to closely connect with the lands they inhabit by giving voice to First Peoples narratives, and for First Peoples to lead in content creation. To this end, we discuss The Digital Birthing Tree, a bespoke content program for a large integrated media façade on Wurundjeri Lands in present-day Australia. The analysis of our case results in six decolonising approaches that help practitioners engage with First Peoples-led content programs in culturally responsive ways. First Peoples leadership in massive media is urgent–not optional–enabling a unique opportunity to share millennia of traditions and knowledge, while responding critically to ongoing destruction and destabilisation of culture, lands and biodiversity.
A Critical Review of How Public Interfaces Facilitate Placemaking
Paul Biedermann (KU Leuven) and Andrew Vande Moere (KU Leuven).
Although public interfaces are promised to facilitate placemaking by offering a dialogical platform to
mediate between different stakeholders, little is known about whether they actually brought decision-makers and citizens closer together towards local transformative change. By systematically analysing the adopted infrastructural concepts, methods and tools of 40 placemaking interfaces, this review synthesises a relational model through which three distinct types of civic agency can be afforded. We discuss how most of these interfaces are based on utilitarian motives rather than facilitating placemaking; provoke dialogues among citizens instead of between stakeholders; fail to upend the hierachical dependencies between stakeholders; make use of certain technological means that limit citizen agency; and are controlled by covert gatekeepers who operate without much accountability. Based on these findings, we propose five "middle-out" considerations that can inform the next generation of placemaking interfaces to facilitate iterative and meaningful bilateral dialogues between decision makers and citizens.
Fused Twins: A Cognitive Approach to Media Architecture Through Augmented Reality
Jascha Grübel (ETH), Michal Gath-Morad, Leonel Aguilar, Tyler Thrash, Robert W. Sumner, Christoph Hölscher, Victor Schinazi. ETH Zürich, Miami University, Bond University
Recent advances in Augmented Reality (AR), the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and Digital Twins transform the types, rates, and volume of information generated in buildings as well as the mediums through which they can be perceived by users. These advances push the standard approach of media architecture to embed screens in the built environment to its limits because screens lack the immersive capacity that newer media afford. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel AR approach to media architecture that uses a Digital Twin as a platform for structuring and accessing data from various sources, including IoT and simulations. Our technical contribution to media architecture is threefold. First, we extend the possibilities of media architecture beyond embedded screens to three dimensions by presenting a Digital Twin using AR with a head-mounted display. This approach results in a shared and consistent augmented experience across large architectural spaces. Second, we use the Digital Twin to integrate and visualize real physical sensor information. Third, we make artificial occupancy simulations accessible to everyday users by presenting them within their natural context in the Digital Twin. Observing the Digital Twin in situ of the Physical Twin also has applications beyond media architecture.
Fusing the two twins using AR can reduce the cognitive load of users from consuming big and complex information sources and enhance their experience. We present two use cases of the proposed Fused Twins in a university building at ETH Zürich. In the first use case, we visualize a dense indoor sensor network (DISN) with 390 IoT sensors that collected data from March 2020 to May 2021. In the second use case, we immerse visitors in agent-based simulations to enable insights into the real and projected uses of space. This work brings forward an ambitious vision for media architecture beyond traditional flat screens, and showcases its potential through fusing state of the art simulations, sensor data integration and augmented reality, finally making the jump from fiction to reality.
Generating and Disseminating Intermediate-level Knowledge on Multiple Levels of Abstraction: An Exploratory Case in Media Architecture
Boudewijn Boon (Hva), Maximiliane Nirschl (HvA), Giulia Gualtieri (HvA), Frank Suurenbroek (HvA), Martijn de Waal (HvA)
The concept of intermediate-level knowledge is increasingly used in interaction design research and media architecture. Recently it has been proposed that intermediate-level knowledge is better actionable to designers when it is conveyed on multiple levels of abstraction. This paper shares an approach-in-the-making to generate and disseminate knowledge in line with this proposition. We describe an ongoing exploratory case in which the aim is to generate actionable insights with regards to promoting neighbourhood resilience through media architecture. In our approach, we explicate knowledge on three levels of abstraction: design examples (most concrete), a framework (most abstract) and design strategies(in between design examples and framework). We discuss how the roles of these levels of abstraction are distinct when either generating or disseminating knowledge. We conclude our paper by looking ahead. As our research team will start to engage with partners in social design, architecture and urban planning, we will explore how our multi-level approach to intermediate-level knowledge is fruitful in generating actionable insights for a more interdisciplinary audience.
Evaluation Framework for Public Interactive Installations
Adam Kjær Søgaard (Aalborg University), Bo Jacobsen (Aalborg university), Michael Utne Kærholm
Svendsen (Aalborg University), Rune Lundegaard Uggerhøj (Aalborg University) and Markus Löchtefeld
(Aalborg University).
This paper documents the development of a framework for the evaluation of interactive installations in a public setting through a small scope literature survey. The aim of this is to outline the most generally used methods and metrics through which these types of implementations are evaluated, and following this, create a framework that will allow these researchers of this blossoming field to more easily prepare and specify an evaluation for the artifact in question. Contribution statement: We report a framework for the evaluation of interactive public installations based on a literature survey. The aim is to document used methods and metrics to support researchers in evaluations
A Media Architecture Design Space: The MAB 2012–2018 Nominees
Kim Halskov (Aarhus University).
In this paper we suggest organising a collection of media architecture instances around the design space they populate, and demonstrate how the deconstruction of media architecture cases enables us to construct the design space. We offer a process for deconstructing the media architecture case, together with a tool that supports the process, and the subsequent exploration of the design space. In the main part of this paper we use this process to construct the design space occupied by the 54 nominees for awards at the media architecture biennales in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018, and we address how the process of deconstructing the collection of media architecture instances and constructing the design space is the first step of the knowledge acquisition process; this is followed by an analysis of the MAB 2012–2018 design space. The process starts with a basic quantitative analysis, followed by a closer investigation of two-dimensional subspaces. Before presenting our conclusion, we address the possibility of using the design space as a generative tool.

The main medicines recommended for neuropathic pain include:amitriptyline – also used for treatment of headaches and depression.duloxetine – also used for treatment of bladder problems and depression.pregabalin and gabapentin – also used to treat epilepsy, headaches or anxiety..
A neurologist treats disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles.
Neurologists specialize in studying and treating the brain and nervous system. They diagnose and treat problems that include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), epilepsy, migraine, and concussion.
Symptoms depend on which nerve is damaged, and whether the damage affects one nerve, several nerves, or the whole body. Tingling or burning in the arms and legs may be an early sign of nerve damage. These feelings often start in your toes and feet. You may have deep pain.
Examples include:Parkinson's disease.Multiple sclerosis (MS).Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).Alzheimer's disease.Huntington's disease.Peripheral neuropathies.
Electromyography (EMG) records electrical activity in your muscles to detect nerve damage. A thin needle (electrode) is inserted into the muscle to measure electrical activity as you contract the muscle. At the same time as an electromyogram, your doctor or an EMG technician typically performs a nerve conduction study.
If you suffer from neuropathy and it is so severe it impacts your ability to work, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. Neuropathy is a rather generalized term. It can represent any or all diseases or malfunctions of the peripheral nervous system.
Annually, of the 1.2 million most frequently diagnosed adult-onset brain disorders, 51.3% and 21% are due to stroke and Alzheimer's disease, respectively. Each year, the total number of new episodes of Parkinson's disease and traumatic brain injury equals the total number of epilepsy episodes (135 million).
A neurologist is a medical doctor with specialized training in diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system including, but not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), concussion, epilepsy, migraine, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.
MRI is sensitive to changes in cartilage and bone structure resulting from injury, disease, or aging. It can detect herniated discs, pinched nerves, spinal tumors, spinal cord compression, and fractures.
It is important to differentiate this tingling from the pain sometimes produced by pressure on an injured nerve. The pain is a sign of irritation of the nerve; tingling is a sign of regeneration; or more precisely, tingling indicates the presence of young axons, in the process of growing.
A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test — also called a nerve conduction study (NCS) — measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve. NCV can identify nerve damage. During the test, your nerve is stimulated, usually with electrode patches attached to your skin.
Regeneration time depends on how seriously your nerve was injured and the type of injury that you sustained. If your nerve is bruised or traumatized but is not cut, it should recover over 6-12 weeks. A nerve that is cut will grow at 1mm per day, after about a 4 week period of 'rest' following your injury.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) MRI is a well-established imaging technique that can be used to differentiate injured peripheral nerves from healthy nerves.
How Are Nerve Pain and Nerve Damage Treated?Regulating blood sugar levels for people with diabetes.Correcting nutritional deficiencies.Changing medications when drugs are causing nerve damage.Physical therapy or surgery to address compression or trauma to nerves.Medications to treat autoimmune conditions.

With the launch of #MyRacistCampus, many of you might be asking how you can help fight racism both on and off campus.
The campaign aims to tackle the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, ways universities uphold racist ideas and interactions but we've put together a quick guide of things you can actually do to help challenge racism. These go beyond liking and sharing something on social media and include things that you can do when you're on campus and also when you're off campus.
"The campaign is very direct in its framing.
being direct about the nature of social inequality and power is crucial."
Actually talk and listen to people!
Yep! It sounds silly but it's a good place to start... and we mean this more offline rather than online. While it can be a lot harder to talk about race and racism offline and not hide behind a screen, it can often be more productive. People have their pride at stake and tone is hard to convey in online settings.
You can do this in multiple ways, whether it is actively listening to the experiences of your black, asian & minority ethnic (BAME) classmates and peers, or not letting rants from your racist uncle at Christmas go unchallenged.
When you're listening to others, try and take the time to consider what they're saying, instead of just thinking about what your reply or contribution could be. Stepping aside to allow others to be heard and recognising that you don't always need to have an opinion can be very valuable.
When trying to tackle racism and misconceptions, try to explain concepts around race and racism in understandable, relatable ways. It's not about dumbing it down; it's about breaking down barriers and not trying to score points because you know the most terminology.
The goal is to move people towards better positions by telling a better story than the ones that foster racism.
Ever looked at your reading list and noticed it is all white authors or researchers?
You might not think it's that important, especially if you're on a hard science based course, but actually that is not the case.
If you're on a social research based course, think of all the different perspectives you're potentially missing out on. Hard sciences... think of all the amazing research that's going on globally that might get skipped over.
Diversifying your reading list is about giving you better access to a broader, more global and diverse education whilst also recognising the vital contributions people of colour across the world are making to all academic fields.
You can help out by auditing your reading list here.
One of the best ways of fighting racism is to build collective power.
Not only does it help to challenge racist ideas and narratives by fostering cooperation, it also empowers us to change the things that disproportionally affect people of colour.
Luckily, as students of Leeds Beckett, you're already part of an organisation that's all about that... the Students' Union!
However, our power to fight is only as strong as the amount of people involved. By getting involved in #MyRacistCampus, our other campaigns such as Hidden Fees and Tenants Rights as well as other local, national and international campaigns, you can help us achieve meaningful improvements to people's lives and fight back against racism.
No really, just turn up.
People = Power = Change.
Whether it's one of our events for #MyRacistCampus, talks, campaign meetings, demonstrations, or even that pint and a friendly chat you've been meaning to have with that friend who has spent a bit too long watching far-right conspiracy videos on Youtube and sharing them on facebook.
We need you to show up for us.
If you would like to know more about diversity and inclusion and race related topics in society, Unspoken is an online series which provides a space for solution based conversation hosted by Presenter & Psychologist Cici. Subscribe to the Unspoken Youtube channel here.
Leeds Beckett's, Dr Shona Hunter is featured on the episode below which explores academic research into whiteness.

Q: Alway get error: wrong uploadSignature on Signed uploads Cloudinary Widget I follow the tutorial to upload multiple images using Cloudinary Widget. I want to use Signed Upload. https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_widget#signed_uploads
but i always get error wrong uploadSignature
The error: https://i.ibb.co/hgDhZx7/Screen-Shot-2019-08-07-at-8-25-51-AM.png
Invalid Signature source=uw&timestamp=1565139879&upload_preset=hjz6fg6e.
String to sign - 'source=uw&timestamp=1565139880&upload_preset=hjz6fg6e'.

It just little bit different on timestamp.
This is my codeigniter Layanan controller to generate signature
    public function uploadsignature() {
        echo 'source=uw&timestamp='.time().'&upload_preset=hjz6fg6e';
    }

And this is the javascript to handle upload using cloudinary widget
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var generateSignature = function(callback, params_to_sign){
          $.ajax({
       url     : '<?php echo base_url('layanan/uploadsignature'); ?>',
       type    : 'GET',
       dataType: 'text',
       data    : { data: params_to_sign},
       complete: function() {console.log('complete')},
       success : function(signature, textStatus, xhr) { callback(signature); },
       error   : function(xhr, status, error) { console.log(xhr, status, error); }
   });
      }
  </script>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    var myWidget = cloudinary.createUploadWidget({
          cloudName: 'my_cloud_name',
          uploadPreset: 'hjz6fg6e',
          apiKey: 'my_api_key',
          uploadSignature: generateSignature}, (error, result) => {
            if (!error && result && result.event === 'success') {
              console.log('Done! Here is the image info: ', result.info);
          }
      }
      )

        document.getElementById('upload_widget').addEventListener('click', function(){
            myWidget.open();
        }, false);
    </script>

I don't know why the timestamp is different. Just little bit different. Anyone can help me?

A: When using singed upload with the upload widget, you need to use the timestamp that the upload widget generated, and not to generate a new one on your server.
You should sign the payload that the widget sends to your server without adding or removing parameters from the payload.
The payload to sign is inside params_to_sign:
var generateSignature = function(callback, params_to_sign){
    $.ajax({
     url     : signature_endpoint_url,
     type    : "POST",
     dataType: "json",
     data    : params_to_sign,
     complete: function() {console.log("complete")},
     success : function(signature, textStatus, xhr) { callback(signature); },
     error   : function(xhr, status, error) { console.log(xhr, status, error); }
    });
  }

var widget = cloudinary.createUploadWidget({
            cloud_name: cloud_name,
                        api_key: api_key,
                        upload_signature: generateSignature,
            upload_preset: preset_name,
            sources: ['local', 'url'],

        }, (error, result) => {

});

A: I have managed to do it in my rails ruby project. Firstly you must use Cloudinary::Utils.api_sign_request(params_to_sign, api_secret) to generate verified signature for signed upload. The params_to_sign consist of 3 items which are public_id, source and timestamp. The code as below:
TimeStamp = Time.now.to_i
params_to_sign = {public_id: "Sample", source: "uw", timestamp: TimeStamp}

You must add uploadSignatureTimestamp and publicId param in your cloudinary.createUploadWidget function. It must consist the same timestamp and public id that being generate for uploadSignature. Hope this help you.

Originally published in the Toronto Star on August 5, 2003:Â The Iran that CNN doesn't show us – the daily existence of a country in flux. Â No booze, but Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman, dubbedin Farsi.
I am suspended in an airplane somewhere between Toronto and Tehran, and my ignorance covers me like a chador. Â My Eastern complexion has in the past camouflaged me as a full-blooded native Iranian, but in this cramped and noisy box I am quickly betrayed by my flat Canadian vowels.
Last summer, I embarked on my first visit to Iran, the country of half my heritage.  Bereft of tongue and custom, I possess little of the rich inheritance that is my birthright. The Iran of National Geographic is an exotic wonder, or it is a stifling desert with gracious peasants.  The Iran of CNN is a horde of turbaned men, often Islamic fundamentalists, sometimes terrorists, always hostile.
The Iran I am about to experience is a very narrow Iran. Â It is the country of the affluent few percent. Â My great-grandfather was one of the richest men in the Northern provinces, and the remnants of his astonishing wealth still tinkle faintly in the purses of the second and third generations. Â I will see neither the poor carpet-weaving villagers, nor the bluish opium addicts, nor the blazing skies of the Southern deserts. Â Not this time.
At 7:20 PM Tehran time, we hove over a city that glitters with the famous "lights of Tehran". Â The airplane rustles audibly with women donning hijabs – veils for the hair. Â Hijab is more than a garment, it is a mentality. Â These women must remember, if only for a time, that modesty is the only ornament permitted a woman – officially speaking.
The number of women in this airplane who have been boldly bareheaded for the past several hours hints at the true esteem in which some circles hold officialdom. Â Iran is the only Islamic republic in the Middle East, and since 1979 (the Islamic Revolution), Iranian women have been required to cover all but their face and hands.
We step out into an astonishing heat.
The first shock occurs at the instant I awake on the first sweltering morning. Â Nausea is rising in my throat. Â It is the smog. Â Tehran is one of the most polluted cities in the world.
Hot, dry Tehran is situated on a slope at the foot of Mount Damavand, and the poverty is correlated almost directly with one's altitude. Â The basin of the city is littered with the hovels of the very poor. Â My grandma's gilt and spacious apartment is near the very top.
The city sleeps when the heat becomes excruciating (from about 1 to 4 P.M.). Â Everything of interest happens in the night. Â And so when six o'clock comes at last, we head to the night bazaar, which sprawls indoors and out over several floors. Â At the bazaar, the confident, sturdy infants of the poor try to sell us vegetables.
There are no drinking fountains here in the bazaar, but there are taps. Â Everyone sips from the same dubious tin cup. Â Though sweating and stifling, I instead nibble at a huge ice-cream cone, which is gracefully extruded in a foot-long spiral and drizzled with chocolate. Â Everything seems to be permeated by the same musky nutty flavour – the yellow pistachio ice cream with the sweet astralagus chunks, the vast piles of complicated carpets, the fresh soft pistachios that I taste for the first time, my grandmother's rose-coloured hijab.
In the lit streets of Tehran I am confronted with the second major shock: Â the increasingly ambiguous status of women. Â My CNN-riddled self expected to see the sea of black chadors and long faces that was the face of the 1980s and early 1990s.
I am stunned by downtown Tehran.  Women thickly paint their faces, fingers and toes; hair bursts through hijabs in sprayed waves, dyed or hennaed.  The baggy black chador has almost ubiquitously been segmented into monteau (a knee to ankle length jacket) and hijab.  Hardly any of the younger women cover more than two-thirds  of their skulls.  Tightly bound in black cloth, I have overdone it.  A total stranger sympathetically urges me to loosen my veil.
A heavily made-up girl in a transparent blue hijab and tight blue monteau bares her elbows. Â But this is risque. Â Boys catcall to her from vendors' stalls. Â I am not sure whether to smile.
In the blazing day, we stay inside to talk with my Uncle Michael or to coo over my baby cousin Sara. Â But in the cooler nights, we go out again into the endless bazaars and the Park-e-Mellat. Â Tehran at night is vibrant and loud and full of food. Â Young men and young veiled women appear to be chatting freely. Â Alcohol is forbidden, so the careworn men gather for a game of backgammon over a glass of tea.
Iran seems confused.  The mandate of the Islamic Revolution has not altered since 1979, but perhaps the people, citizens of what once – and to a certain degree still is – widely acknowledges as one of the richest, most beautiful and most modern countries in the Middle East, simply have not taken very well to sobriety  The Persian passion for the artistic pervades everything from the colourful symmetry of the bazaar to the plush opulence of the Imperial jewels (which we visit in Bank-e-Melli – the National Bank – one morning).
A sign in one shop reads: Â "Honourable Sister! Â The veil is the guardian of the chastity and ornament of a Moslem woman!" Â Such a sign might have been superfluous 10 years ago. Â Here in Iran, women attend university freely, perform surgery, practise law, even sit as one of the country's vice presidents – but they are not permitted to sing in public (piped-in store music is always sung by a man) or leave the country without a male guardian's consent.
The literal meaning of the term haji refers to a devout Muslim who has completed the haj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. Â In Iran it has passed into casual use – a polite form of address used by the working classes.
We wander into a neon mall, resplendent with greasy food court. Â The place is jammed with boys and girls. Â The menus at the "Star Burger" glow both in Farsi and credible English.
In the morning, we visit the gorgeous Golestan Palace, one of the oldest monuments in Iran and site of the coronation of the Shah of Iran. Â On the way, I survey the milling streets. Â There are couples holding hands. Â This is forbidden outside of marriage, but I suspect the majority of these childless twosomes are unmarried: Â they are too young, too well-groomed and travel too lightly.
We are stunned when some of the men climb over the bus metal barriers to sit in the  back with the women.  Nobody else bats an eye.  I am not certain why street buses are considered venues sufficiently sensual so as to merit segregation:  In the airport buses, taxis and streets, men and women arrange themselves freely.  To my baffled unease, the majority of public bathrooms in the bazaars are unisex.
We take a half-hour domestic flight to Isfahan, the famous city of the arts about 400 kilometres from Tehran. Â Isfahan was the old capital of the Safavid rulers in the 17th and 18th centuries and is probably the closest thing to a tourist town in Iran. Â Unlike the homogeneous Tehran, here foreigners are sprinkled with surprising frequency: Â Germans, French, British. Â In our hotel (the Abassi), the foreign women dress with dangerous freedom, but are let alone.
In the Isfahan bazaar that crashes with the sound of pounding copper, the merchant of miniatoor art (intricate mosaic patterns made from tiny painted pieces) discerns that I am a tourist in less than three seconds. Â In Farsi, he asks my sister and me if we are "Alleman" – German. Â When we reply that we are Canadians, he jumps. Â Beaming, he yells in English, "Canada good! Â Canada very good!" and attempts to sell us a box made of camel bone at a just-for-you price.
Later, when the heat subsides, we visit Ali Ghapoo, a six-storey castle with impossibly narrow winding staircases, marvellously frescoed rooms, and a roof with sunken baths. Â Ali Ghapoo is located in the hub of Isfahan in Imam Square, once called Nagsh-e-Jahan square. Â Near it is the Imam Mosque, once called Masjed-e-Shah – the King's Mosque. Â After the revolution, monuments were hurriedly renamed in an effort to erase all traces of the Shah and his dynasty.
In the Isfahan bazaar, my father is approached by a chador-clad woman with outstretched hands. Â He takes her to be a beggar. Â My grandma informs him that she is a prostitute. Â Prostitution is far more common than it apparently used to be, and the government is seeking a means of regulating it.
One solution lies within Shi'a Islamic law itself, which provides for temporary marriages (mut'ah) to "seegha" wives. Â The marriage's duration is specified beforehand; the union is dissolved automatically upon the agreed date, and both the man and the woman are free to marry again without censure.
My friends, both dentistry students, tell me that this sort of marriage is a neat way around the laws forbidding men and women to touch. Â It is particularly convenient for Iranian film makers. Â Actors and actresses required to touch are simply married for the period of the shoot.
Although the legality of temporary marriage is a huge source of controversy for Islamic scholars, rumour has it that the Iranian government is considering the establishment of a house full of women willing to become seegha wives for an hour or two.
We have returned to Tehran to relax. Â Even with my appalling Farsi I am able to discern that local television in Iran is a boring nationalized affair. Â On the cooking show (the closest approximation to Emeril Live) a woman soberly makes halvah clad in a giant black chador whose sleeves brush the stove dangerously. Â The effect is rather funny. Â Even my grandma prefers the Iranian satellite channels braodcast from Los Angeles.
We leave Tehran for a week's sojourn in Babol – the birthplace of my father and grandma. Â It is three hours by car through mountainous terrain on a trail once called Death Road.
As we near Babol, the parched scenery of Tehran undergoes a dramatic transformation. Â Dusty Tehran becomes a rainforest whose fecundity is almost tangible. Â Drops of water condense on the car window. Â Tehran's heat was unbearable. Â But this wet, green heat defies all description.
Babol, wracked by poverty, is in ruins. Â The residential area consists of a few shacks bordered by the walled palaces of the remaining rich. Its downtown is a tired bazaar. Â But this is home for my grandma, and she lives here most of the time on an estate with her chickens and ducks, her orange trees, fig trees and her two servants. Â Inside the air-conditioned mansion, I lounge about on a plush sofa watching the very popular Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (dubbed into Farsi) with my grandma.
My grandma, who frowns at grubby Sully every time he  sweatily appears on screen, was one of the most glamorous beauties of her day.  In this gilded manor she once hosted parties for hundreds of guests.
Like most Iranian houses, it has been furnished with a taste for the ornate – elaborate carvings and tasselled tapestries. Â Function is sacrificed to style. Â In the china bowls, even the sugar cubes (everyone takes their tea-sugar in cube form here) are decorated – iced with green and red sugar rosebuds.
Babol is situated on the Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world. Â Largely deserted after the revolution, the city and its vicinity are nearly dead.
It is hard to believe my father's stories of a wild seaside town where the children of the rich played on the beach whilst their parents tossed about thousands at roulette, where reckless casino men gambled their fortunes away inside and then stepped outside to drown themselves in the Caspian.
My father is sad as my terrifically jolly great-uncle Nasser drives us around town in his almost brand-new car. Â We go to the beach on the shores of the Caspian, the same beach that was once a sprawling resort with a casino and a hotel.
Today, the Caspian has been partitioned with long metal poles, and women are permitted to swim only in a roped-off black-curtained area of sea. Â Today, the casino is a hospital for the mentally ill. Â The casino's adjacent pavilion is now a university. Â The hotel is a prison.
It is impossible to capture in a still frame of a place whose essence is transience. Â In this mood of barely suppressed rebellion, everything feels temporary.
The goodbye party is stuffed with food and people, all of whom are at least two hours late. Â By now, I am not surprised; Iranians are notorious for tardiness. Â The next time I see my little 18-month old cousin she will be a little girl, or a big one; when I see my grandma again she will have aged more perceptibly. Â Sour yoghurt, fatty milk, Koolak Kola, sweet garden fruit with every meal, new figs, old air. Â I even feel a premature nostalgia for the bottom-washers that every Iranian toilet is equipped with. Â I will certainly miss them in a hurry if my traveller's diarrhea doesn't subside before Toronto.
When the guests have talked and eaten and kissed and left, Bahman and my uncle Michael drive us to Mehrabad Airport, a moist and chaotic place. Â Customs is a charade. Â The uniformed man barely looks up as he waves us past.
I don't know how to say good-bye to the family of friends that I knew nothing of three weeks ago. Â So I wordlessly kiss everyone once on each cheek, Iranian style. Â My grandma and I weep as we embrace for the last time.
The wait is short. Â The airplane has not yet taken off when the last women folds her hijab away.
