My partners in the private sector are friends of mine and we're working on projects that face a lot of hurdles, including factors that we can't control. Every project that we're involved with is in the development process so we're not making any money now, thus, having a supportive relationship with one another is nice to have. When I was a politician, much of my staff were friends of mine as well, and likewise, we supported one another through the ups and downs. Lastly, I'm lucky to have close family and friends to talk to or be with, who play a huge role in helping me to keep my spirits up as I take on new challenges.

Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana has resumed his duties despite being impeached by members of the county assembly last week.
He vowed to continue with his work as the county chief executive and diligently do what Makueni people elected him to do. Prof Kibwana, who spoke in Wote town where he launched the county public service rationalisation exercise, insisted he would only leave office if the electorate pass a vote of no confidence against him.
"I will continue to offer services to the people of Makueni despite the little hiccups orchestrated by a few who want to drag us behind," said the governor. Kibwana reiterated that he will crisscross the entire county to commission completed projects and launch fresh ones.
"I am aware that Makueni residents want their government dissolved and fresh elections held. I am ready to seek fresh mandate because as elected leaders, we serve at the pleasure of the electorate," said Kibwana.
A section of the county assembly last Thursday voted to impeach the governor over alleged incompetence and abuse of office. This prompted Kibwana to move to the High Court in Nairobi where he obtained an injunction stopping the Senate from debating his ouster until a case challenging the impeachment by the county assembly is heard and determined.
Justice Mumbi Ngugi granted the county boss orders restraining the Speaker of the Senate from introducing, discussing, seizing or otherwise deliberating his ouster. She directed that the matter be transferred to Machakos High Court for hearing and determination. The matter will be before the resident judge on Thursday.
Yesterday, Kibwana said his government would fully support the staff audit exercise and share information with the national government in a bid to entrench transparency in the county administration. He warned that any employee left out of the process will not be paid from the county funds and will be deemed to have quit public service.

Interpretations of Probability
8 July 2018 17 December 2018 ~ 1000-Word Philosophy: An Introductory Anthology
Author: Thomas Metcalf
Categories: Epistemology, Philosophy of Science, Logic and Reasoning
Consider this exchange from the 1994 American film Dumb and Dumber:
Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me ending up together? …
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million.
Lloyd: So, you're telling me there's a chance. Yeah!
When Mary says, "one in a million," what does she mean? Mary's claim, about chance, might be about a mathematical or logical calculation. It might be about the properties of the objects in the world. And it might be about people's mental states.
We call these alternatives 'interpretations' of probability. Let's explore these alternatives.
1. Logical Conceptions: Classical and Logical Probability
A popular rule for assigning probabilities is the Principle of Indifference.[1] One version says that if there are so many – n – possible outcomes of an event, and we have insufficient reason to expect any outcome over any other outcome, then each distinct outcome has a 1/n probability: each is equally likely to occur. The Principle of Indifference is controversial, but versions of it are widely employed.
Classical Probability is the version of probability we get by using the Principle of Indifference: divide the number of outcomes we are interested in by the number of possible outcomes.[2] If there are four aces but fifty-two cards in a deck (and each card is equally likely to be drawn), then the classical probability of drawing an ace in one draw is 4/52, i.e., 1/13.
A relative of classical probability is 'Logical' Probability, which attempts to refine Classical Probability in a way that provides a general logic for learning from experience. The basic idea is that we can describe outcomes in more ways than just listing all the possibilities. For example, if I toss two coins, we can list the four possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, and TT. But we can also describe three possible outcomes: 'both Heads,' 'both Tails,' and 'half and half.' In brief, the ability to describe outcomes in this latter way – as "structures" rather than merely as "states" – may allow us to explain logically how learning from experience works.[3]
In the Lloyd-Mary exchange, if she's referring to Classical Probability, she might be reasoning like this:
'There are only about one million people I might realistically end up with, and Lloyd is only one of those one million people; but there's no reason to believe he's more likely than any other. Therefore, the chance is only about one in a million.'
2. Physical Conceptions[4]: Frequency and Propensity Probability
We calculate Frequency Probability by considering a set of trials or events and counting how many of those events feature the outcome we care about.[5] If I watch cars go by for a few hours, and I find that 5% of the cars I've seen are Toyotas, then there's a 5% frequency-probability that a car in this set I've seen is a Toyota.
'Propensity' Probability is a related conception.[6] Who would win in a 100-meter sprint: Napoleon Bonaparte on his twenty-fifth birthday, or Usain Bolt on his fiftieth birthday? It may seem as if there are facts now about the probability of Bonaparte's winning, as well as the probability of Bolt's winning. But frequency probability can't tell us, because the two have never raced, and they never will. If there's a fact about how likely it is that Bonaparte would beat Bolt, then, this must be because of the inherent features of Bolt and Bonaparte themselves: their strengths, weights, levels of cardiovascular fitness, stride-lengths, and so on. So there is some inherent propensity-probability that Bolt will win, but there is also some (far lesser) inherent propensity-probability that Bonaparte will win.[7]
In the Lloyd-Mary exchange, if Mary is talking about Frequency Probability, then she means something like this:
'In general, people like you end up with people like me about one time out of a million.'
If she's talking about Propensity Probability, then she means that at the current moment, the qualities of Lloyd and the qualities of Mary make it such that they are inherently one-in-a-million likely to end up together.
On the assumption that induction is reliable,[8] Frequency Probability is good evidence of a propensity, and in turn, that tells you how justified you are in expecting a certain event.
3. Cognitive Conceptions: Subjective Probability and Objective, Epistemic Probability
We can describe our personal, subjective confidence in something (e.g., that a belief is true, that something will happen, etc.) in terms of percentages. For example, if I'm completely certain that something will occur, I am 100% confident that it will occur. If I'm only 20% certain that something will occur (and 80% certain that it won't occur), then I might say that it 'probably' won't occur. So, I might say, 'You'll probably never understand Michael Bay's genius,' meaning that I'm confident that you won't. If I'm just offering a description of my own mental states, I'm talking about my Subjective Probability: my confidence in something.
This doesn't say whether a person's confidence is justified: whether that confidence is reasonable, given the person's evidence. That notion may be called 'Objective, Epistemic Probability.'[9] In the Lloyd-Mary exchange, if Lloyd were happy about Mary's reply because he confidently concluded that he would end up with her, then that would be objectively unreasonable. Indeed, we normally think that if you learn that the objective (say, propensity) probability that something will occur is x, then you should set your confidence that it will occur to be x.[10]
There are debates about each of these conceptions of probability: whether they give rise to paradoxes, whether they match intuitive conceptions of probability or everyday-language uses of 'probability,' and so on.[11] But because knock-down proofs are uncommon in philosophy – conclusions rarely are reached with certainty – the language of probability is very common, as it is in daily life.[12],[13]
[1] Keynes 1921: chapter IV. The Principle of Indifference is controversial, but versions of it are widely employed. See e.g. Jaynes 2003: chs. 7 and 12 for discussion of the principle and alternatives.
[2] Laplace 1902 [1814]: ch. 1.
[3] Carnap 1950.
[4] We can call these "physical" conceptions because they tend to deal with observed, physical phenomena and objects (cf. Venn 2006 [1888]: ch. IV). But strictly speaking, we may be able to imagine abstract objects' having propensities.
[5] Venn, op. cit.
[6] See Peirce 1910: 237 and Popper 1957: 67 for discussions of propensity probability. I say it's "related" because it is also about objective features of the objects in the trials or events, and frequency is commonly taken to be good evidence of propensity. See n. 8 below as well.
[7] Arguably, however, if determinism is true, then the only propensity probabilities that exist are 0% and 100%. See, e.g., Loewer 2004.
[8] See the entry on the Problem of Induction.
[9] Whether there are such things as objective facts about which beliefs are reasonable or unreasonable for a person, given their evidence, is a distinct, but related, philosophical debate. But we can understand the experience of gaining evidence for a belief in terms of probabilities. Perhaps ˹x is evidence of y˺ means that the (epistemic) probability of y, after encountering x, is higher than the probability of y before having encountered x: x makes y more (epistemically) likely or probable, and you would be justified in raising your confidence that y.
[10] Lewis (1980) calls this the "principal principle" (p. 266). Compare Pettigrew 2016: ch. 8.
[11] For a much deeper introduction, see Hájek 2018.
[12] See for example Swinburne 2004 as an example of the use of probabilistic arguments to attempt to justify belief in (but not 100% prove) the existence of God, and Rowe 1979 as an example of the use of probabilistic arguments to attempt to justify belief in (but not 100% prove) the nonexistence of God.

Trading Shots: Downes and Fowlkes on WSOF and lowered expectations
By Ben Fowlkes, Danny Downes March 30, 2014 6:30 pm
By Ben Fowlkes and Danny Downes | March 30, 2014 6:30 pm
In this week's Trading Shots, MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes and former UFC/WEC fighter Danny Downes look back at WSOF 9 and all the heel-hooking, face-smashing goodness therein.
Fowlkes: So I'm sitting there on my couch watching WSOF 9 late last night, just enjoying the action, when it occurs to me how much the experience reminds me of the old recurring "Mad TV" sketch about the "Lowered Expectations" dating service. Is it just me, or is WSOF the place where fighters go to be measured by a completely different yardstick? Rousimar Palhares heel hooks a guy and lets go before he has to be pried off with a crowbar, and that's a big deal. Yushin Okami actually finishes an opponent, and that's an even bigger deal. Success stories all around –as long as the bar for success is lowered considerably.
I still enjoyed the fights, and Marlon Moraes is always fun to watch (though how did he let Josh Rettinghouse limp the full distance without putting him away?), but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was watching a lot of plan Bs come to fruition. Am I alone here? Is this the part where you tell me I'm a curmudgeonly pessimist?
Downes: "Lowered Expectations – when you've been blown off by the rest, settle for second best."
I'll always take the opportunity to accuse you of being curmudgeonly pessimist, but I think I'll just call you a "Zuffa shill" to save the people in the comments section the trouble. In your defense, it's hard not to come to that conclusion. When the president of the UFC tells Ben Askren that he should pick up a couple wins in WSOF and then maybe they'll give him a look, it's hard not to view the organization as a minor league. Having said that, I think the truth is a bit more complicated. In Palhares' and Okami's cases, they may have been released from the UFC, but not because they couldn't compete with the "big boys." The truth is either one of them could be top 10 in his division.
When it comes to MMA though, the truth doesn't matter – only the perception. Are Okami and Palhares exceptions when it comes to the bulk of the WSOF roster? I'd say so, but look at some of the talent on the UFC roster for the international shows. It's hard to say where those fighters place in the larger context. MMA as a whole is becoming increasingly more tiered. Not all UFC fighters are equal, and the same applies to other organizations. I know how much you like making broad generalizations, but aren't we just going to have to judge each competitor individually? Can't we live in a world where a fighter isn't judged by the logo on his shorts, but on his ability to cause blunt force trauma?
Fowlkes: I think you hit on a good point. WSOF does not have minor league talent. Or at least, it doesn't only have that, just as the UFC doesn't only have elite fighters. But whatever you think of the WSOF roster, the organization seems to have been branded as the safety school of MMA. If things don't work out for you in the UFC, hey, there's always WSOF. I'd say that's a harmful, unfair characterization, except WSOF all but invites it with these events that are anchored by UFC castoffs.
Maybe that's not so bad, though. If WSOF is the home to the outcasts and has-beens, as well as the never-weres and someday-might-bes, that could be good enough to get us to tune in on a Saturday night here and there, right? I mean, as long as there's no UFC event that night.
But what I wonder is whether we, the fans and the media, are even capable of living in this MMA utopia you mention, the one where we judge fighters on their own violent abilities rather than the banner they fight under. If memory serves, aren't you the same guy who just last week pointed out that this sport has become more about brands than about people? Whose fault is that, anyway?
Downes: I indeed did argue that very point last week. That opinion, however, was observational, not prescriptive. Who wouldn't want to live in an MMA utopia where the Xyience flows like water and all our belongings are dynamically fastened? You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one (OK, maybe I'm the only one).
It think we should just cut to the chase. It feels like the major issues are, 1) Is it OK to brand WSOF a "minor league," or equivalent, and 2) If we accept the fact that it is "below" the UFC, what's its place? There are nuances in the first question. We've already discussed Palhares and Okami and the fact that "UFC caliber" may not mean the same thing it did years ago. All that aside, the best fighters in the world are in the UFC. Take the top 15 in any weight class and look at what who signs their checks. Eddie Alvarez and Michael Chandler are excellent fighters. Alexander Schlemenko fought this weekend, and I think he's also a great fighter. Unfortunately for Bellator, they are the exceptions and not the rule.
As for the second question, that's a bit more complicated. Some MMA fans have adopted the Ricky Bobby attitude when it comes to fighting. If you're not the No. 1 organization in the world, then everything you do is crap. That's simply not true. As the sport has grown, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to get into the higher levels. Talent needs different outlets, and they are finding them in other places. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Is it because we only have so many hours in a week to dedicate to MMA and it's easier to write off other organizations so we can spend a Saturday night doing something else?
Fowlkes: Oh, to live in such a utopia, one in which we are always either facing the pain or stepping to this, pausing only momentarily in order to move to Metro. It's never going to happen, though. Why, you ask? Why is it so hard for fans to understand that a fighter can be awesome outside the UFC just as easily as he can be mediocre in it? Maybe because that's been a running narrative in this sport ever since the UFC vs. PRIDE days. When you've got the UFC president shouting about how his organization is the only one where the best fight the best (unless he doesn't like them or their managers), it's not surprising that some people swallow that gross over-generalization more than others. Also, fighting lends itself to that first-or-last mentality you mention. Only one dude gets to be the baddest man alive, right?
Personally, I'm fine with WSOF being MMA's Island of the Misfit Toys. I'm not going to stay home to watch it when Chad Dundas' rock band is playing a borderline illegal show in one of Missoula's many bike shops (totally worth the hangover and the hearing loss, btw), but I'll DVR the hell out of it and then watch it at my leisure. I just wonder if the fighters who compete there are as cool with this perception as WSOF seems to be.
Downes: Yes, the narrative for the bulk of MMA history has been "UFC or bust." But allow me to put it in terms that even a dehydrated, cochlear-impaired Montanan can understand: The game done changed. The UFC is still the top dog, but things aren't that simple anymore. Long gone are the days of 10-12 broadcast events a year. Dana White himself has told fans and media that it's perfectly OK to ignore certain events because they're not designed for American audiences.
How that affects the UFC's future progress/perception is yet to be determined, but it does open the door for other organizations. As Zuffa expands and focuses its scope globally, there will be room for organizations like Bellator and WSOF to get a piece of the action. We can sit here and argue semantics about whether or not it's proper to call them minor league, but that misses the larger point.
Is there enough of a market for multiple MMA entities? I say yes. Are Bellator and WSOF direct competition to the UFC? Yes, in the sense that they're both MMA promotions, but I wouldn't exactly call them threats.
Fans like to get caught up in the economics of the fight business and discuss things like ratings and pay-per-view buy rates. Here's an idea: How about we just watch fights? You can call them major league, minor league or anything else you want. A rose by any other name is just as sweet, and an inverted heel hook is just as brutal.

Florentino Perez rules out Ronaldo return; Ramos situation still up in the air
As revealed by Florentino Perez in his interview with El Chiringuito, the current situation poses dire Financial troubles for all clubs along with Real Madrid. Los Merengues have lost about €400 million themselves over the last season and a half, which has forced them to employ a scheme of paying their employees 10% less than their full salary.
The Madrid President also ascertained that Cristiano Ronaldo is not coming back. There were a lot of rumours following Juventus' exit from the Champions League against Porto, but the situation has died down since.
Perez was expecting club captain Sergio Ramos to sign a contract extension like Luka Modric but it is still an open situation. There is currently no agreement with another club, and it's up to Real Madrid if they want him to stay. Perez was very honest about it all. Cristiano and Juventus are not in an easy situation and the Super League fiasco could also change things with them.
Andrea Agnelli, the owner of Juventus was heavily involved in plans for the Super League and given that all the teams involved have lost a good amount of money amidst these dire financial circumstances, it is unclear as to whether Juventus will be able to have Cristiano on their books naturally or if they will have to adapt measures to continue their association.

Q: DeploymentItem behaving differently in VS2010 and VS2012 I have a VS2010 solution that I'm trying to upgrade to VS2012.
I'm having a problem with the MSTest unit tests in VS2012.  All of the tests include DeploymentItem attributes on the test class.
[TestClass]
[DeploymentItem(@"SubDir\SubDir2\models", "models")]
public class UnitTests
{ ... }

In 2010, it's correctly copying dependent files from the SolutionDirectory\SubDir\SubDir2\models directory.
In 2012, it's attempting to copy from the directory where the tests are deployed SolutionDirectory\UnitTests\bin\debug\SubDir\SubDir2\models
I'm looking for a way to restore the old behavior.

A: If you create a test settings file in your solution, enable deployment in it (by default deployment is off in the test settings) and select it in the test explorer (Test -> Test Settings -> Select test settings file), then it should work without changing the code as well.

A: After installing vs2012 and .net 4.5, looks like the deploymentitemattribute is out of sync with where it moves the files and where the executable looks for the files during execution of tests.
Cheap workaround:

*

*Leave the deploymentitemattribute path as-is

*See where the file is being moved to

*Change the test code to look in that location

Before this upgrade mstest was smart enough to find deployment items even if they were moved to a sub directory in the bin directory. Seems this is no longer the case.
So before the upgrade a line of your unit test code might look like this...
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo("temp.txt");

After the upgrade a line of your unit test code might look like this...
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo("\SubDir\SubDir2\models\temp.txt");

K2 Made Illegal in Michigan
Governor Rick Snyder signed into law a package of bills that bans K2 and other synthetic drugs in Michigan on Tuesday of last week in Lansing.
Earlier this month, I published the article on K2, Michigan House Panel Moves to Criminalize K2 Distribution, reporting how Metro-Detroit and many other Michigan cities had banned the selling and use of the drug known as K2, spice or bath salts. The drugs have been sold over the counter at gas stations throughout the state as a blend of herbs sprayed with chemicals. This dangerous convenience of obtaining K2 has made it extremely attractive to teens.
Governor Snyder Applauds Legislature Efforts
Governor Snyder and Michigan's House Panel has moved quickly to enact law that would criminalize the use of K2.
"K2, Spice and similar products are not safe for human consumption, and I applaud the Legislature's efforts to remove these dangerous compounds from our communities and protect our youth," Snyder said in a release according to the Huffington Post.
Elisha Anderson of the Detroit Free Press stated the following about the bills that crack down on the chemicals:
"The package of bills cracks down on chemicals used to make the products and also gives state health officials power to temporarily ban substances deemed an imminent danger to people's health."
Synthetic marijuana is a plant-like material that is sprayed with chemicals which mimic THC (the active ingredient in marijuana). This is what is causing the psychotic behaviors which have produced 185 hospitalizations in Michigan through May.
Governor Snyder also said, "We've lost young people because of this drug. So it's time we did something about it."
Vomiting, agitation, paranoia, rapid heart rate, seizures, loss of physical control and hallucinations are all side effects of the drug.
As of July 1st of this year, the possession and selling of K2 or synthetic drugs will be illegal. According to the same article in the Detroit Free Press, police officers will be visiting party stores, smoke shops and gas stations looking to make sure the synthetic drugs have been taken off of the shelves.
The state police have also set up a tip line where anyone can call in to report where these drugs are being sold. The tip line is 855-MICH-tip. As information about this drug grows, we may see new products with new names. The most recent example of this is foot powder, a product similar to bath salts.

The European Union is willing to deepen trade ties with China but wants to see concessions from Beijing first, documents seen by Reuters on Tuesday showed.
At the same time as EU regulators are ramping up trade pressure on Beijing by threatening duties on solar panels and telecoms equipment, Brussels is dangling the carrot of trade agreements before the Chinese.
The European Commission is expected to adopt a mandate for negotiating an investment agreement with Beijing this month, but documents seen by Reuters show that a much more ambitious trade agreement could be considered afterwards if China plays ball.
A free trade agreement (FTA) could be looked at in future if China can "address the root causes for current market access obstacles and competition concerns", a draft document written by the EU's diplomatic service said.
The strategy document is an EU response to a proposal Beijing made before last year's EU-China summit, to deepen ties between the two powers in numerous areas. This draft agenda could then be agreed at this year's meeting between top leaders from China and Europe, expected in the autumn.
"Concluding an ambitious investment agreement as set out above would send a strong signal of this readiness and ability to deepen our relationship in an effective manner," it said.
The EU's bilateral investment pact with China, proposed last autumn, would cement EU rules giving Chinese markets open access, while seeking to open Chinese markets for EU businesses. A full FTA would go much deeper.
But the mere suggestion of a free-trade agreement with China has raised hackles in EU member countries such as France and Italy, which led objections to the strategy proposals at meetings of EU national trade experts last week, according to EU sources and documents.
Germany and other member states said the European Union should seek to conclude a partnership and cooperation agreement (PCA) with China, which the European Union launched in 2007 and remains stuck in talks, before examining an FTA.
Fredrik Erixon of Brussels-based think tank ECIPE said that the broad goals of the PCA, which dealt with a number of issues from nuclear power to cultural diversity, led to its stalling.
This was echoed in another EU document which said those negotiations "were stuck due to different levels of ambition on the two sides and no progress could be foreseen in the future".
The draft EU-China strategy proposal sets out numerous areas for cooperation from the environment to financial services.
Brussels would like to see Europe's green technology firms help Chinese cities to modernize, and to work together with China in Africa "with a particular focus on raw material and commodities".
The European Union also seeks an agreement on regulating export credits with China by 2014, and calls for better access for EU banks to China.

The family moved to Woodley Farm, Reading, in 1849. Baylis was celebrated in the late nineteenth century—a period of general agricultural depression—for making money out of farming when so many others could barely make a living. His success derived from two key traits. First, he was an innovator with the ability to work from first principles and to institute a farming system suited to the prevailing economic conditions. Second, he was a businessman with the managerial flair necessary to make full use of the competitive advantage that his style of operation created. Such was the potency of this combination that, from a very ordinary beginning, ...

Zur Hölle und zurück (Originaltitel: To Hell and Back) ist ein US-amerikanischer Kriegsfilm des Regisseurs Jesse Hibbs aus dem Jahr 1955. Der Film basiert auf der gleichnamigen Autobiographie von Audie Murphy, welcher sich in der Verfilmung selbst spielt. Die Autobiographie war erstmals 1949 erschienen und wurde in den USA zu einem Bestseller.
Die Uraufführung des Films in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland fand am 23. Februar 1956 statt.

Handlung
Murphy wächst in Texas in einer Großfamilie ohne Vater auf. Als ältestes von neun Kindern muss er seiner Mutter helfen, die Familie zu ernähren. Als seine Mutter stirbt, wird er das Familienoberhaupt. Als der Zweite Weltkrieg ausbricht, ist Murphy begierig, in die US-Streitkräfte einzutreten. Die US Marines lehnen ihn jedoch ab, für die Fallschirmjäger ist er zu klein und zu jung. Die US Army akzeptiert ihn und setzt ihn als einfachen Infanteristen ein. Nach der Grundausbildung kommt Murphy zu einer Infanterie-Einheit.

Bei zahlreichen Kämpfen kann Murphy Mut bzw. Tapferkeit zeigen. Infolgedessen wird er schnell befördert und bringt es schließlich bis zum 2nd Lieutenant. Mit der 3. US-Infanteriedivision kämpft Murphy sich durch Sizilien, Italien und Frankreich. Seine Männer, besonders Johnson, Brandon und Kerrigan, respektieren ihn. Im Januar 1945 wird Murphys Einheit in Frankreich – bei Colmar – von deutschen Truppen angegriffen. Die Amerikaner ziehen sich zurück, die Deutschen verfolgen sie und rücken schnell näher. Murphy bleibt zurück, um das amerikanische Artilleriefeuer auf die anrückenden Deutschen zu lenken. Als die Deutschen noch näher heranrücken, springt Murphy auf einen brennenden Panzerjäger und feuert mit dem an Bord befindlichen Maschinengewehr auf die Feinde, die dadurch in ihrem Vormarsch stocken. Dem verwundeten Murphy wird die Medal of Honor verliehen.

Ford trucks that go from park to reverse?
By Richard Weaver of The Weaver Law Firm posted in Truck Accidents on Monday, April 7, 2014.
Do Ford trucks go from park to reverse unintentionally causing a truck accident? Vehicle manufacturers know of the need to design its automatic transmission system so that an operator cannot or should not leave the vehicle in "illusory park". Automobile defects are not new to Texans or the people of the United States. Look at what happened to GM. It recently had an ignition switch recall to 2.6 million cars. Unfortunately it took the death on people for the recall. What about Ford Motor Company? What is it going to do to correct its product defect that leads to serious and almost deadly injuries?
Did you know that notice to vehicle manufacturers of the need to avoid a park-to-reverse defect included: (1) Numerous park-to-reverse incidents on various vehicles in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's about which a certain manufacturer received notice of through customer complaints; these included hundreds of complaints on a wide range of models equipped with same or substantially similar transmissions; and that (2) FORD investigated the park-to-reverse safety issue in the early 1970's. It was, at that time, the third highest volume safety complaint being logged in Customer Relations Potential problem reports?
Did you know that a 1985 NHTSA study found that Ford park-to-reverse accidents had caused a total of at least 306 deaths.
Ford could have also easily installed an out-of-park alarm to warn drivers when the vehicle was in false park.
What is a "park-to-reverse" defect? It is a defect that can exist in a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission when there is inadequate mechanical force provided by the automatic transmission system to ensure that a vehicle always defaults into an intended gear position (such as park or reverse) when an operator does not fully shift into that intended gear position. In these situations, a driver can inadvertently and unintentionally place the shift selector between the intended park and reverse gear positions. Since there is a delay (sometimes a very short delay like seconds or one or two minutes) in the engagement of reverse gear when an operator places the vehicle into what, from the vehicle's "cues," the operator would reasonably believe to be park. In these situations, the driver may exist the vehicle believing the vehicle to be in when the truck suddenly and unexpectedly moves backwards in powered reverse, running over the driver.
We expect that in these situations, Ford would try to blame the driver and claim that the driver left the vehicle in reverse, but that is not the case when the defect exists, when the defect is real.


Hashtags are the communication currency on Twitter, and since their introduction into the #ICT4D community by @Kiwanja, the father of modern ICT4D, they've been freely created and shared as Open Source technology. However, with @JSelanikio's recent copyrighting of #MagpiSolvesEverthing, a new form of proprietary hashtags have emerged.
How will underserved communities access and appropriate closed-sourced hashtags?
What new training or capacity building will beneficiaries constituents need to navigate this new digital/legal realm?
Could youth-focused organizations leverage hashtag emergence on Facebook to inspire young people to be hashtag infomediaries in rural areas?
Should we insist on #FOShashtags in all publicly funded interventions?
Our goal is to surface collective resilience to hashtag insecurity across the developing world, with a special emphasis on emerging economies.

Come by yourself, or come with a friend, it doesn't matter. If you're in a relationship and you want to bring your significant other, that's fine. Whether you come alone or with a friend, you WILL be dancing is short order!
Age doesn't matter. It's all about having a great time...no wallflowers permitted. Ladies, you are treated with respect.
The dance will be held at the Knights of Columbus in Bowie Md, also known as Boswell Hall. It is very easy to get to, located just off Route 3 very close to Route 50.
You should definitely dress to impress - sporty casual or business dress. Tickets are sold at the door...you do not need to call anyone in advance. We recommend you come early for a good table.
No jeans, sneakers of any kind, T-shirts, lettered jackets, baseball caps or shorts are permitted.

The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) is the UK's largest music education body, one of its largest music publishers and the world's leading provider of music exams. It offers assessments to more than 630,000 candidates in 93 countries each year.
ABRSM aims to inspire achievement in music.
They are in partnership with the Royal Schools of Music, to support high-quality music-making and learning around the world.
ABRSM offers resources for students and teachers to build musical skills, provide goals and encourage progress.
ABRSM is 'Classic FM's Partner in Music Education.' This collaboration has resulted in the UK's biggest ever celebration of music teachers, as the two organisations join forces for Classic FM's Music Teacher of the Year Awards 2017.
The refreshed Awards will culminate in a showcase event in July 2017, hosted by ABRSM and Classic FM, to celebrate and reward teachers who have made a real difference to their students' lives.
The organisation also worked with Classic FM to launch a music education partnership called 'Classical 100.' This initiative is a collection of 100 great pieces of classical music – designed to be used as a resource for primary school teachers to use in lessons, school assemblies and anywhere they like. Alongside the 100 pieces, there's a wealth of information about the composer and the story behind the music.
As a charity, they invest £6 million in music education annually in both the UK through their Royal Schools partners and internationally.

Q: How to inhibit multiselect with SWFUpload SWFU.selectFile() doesn't work anymore due to changes in security model.
User click on the movie opens the dialog but I need to inhibit multi-select.
I have tried the following options to no avail:

*

*file_upload_limit

*file_queue_limit

It is not evident to me from the documentation which option inhibits multi-select. Can anyone advise?

A: Found it in the source code, searching for "button". The default is
button_action: SWFUpload.BUTTON_ACTION.SELECT_FILES

and there is a value defined
SWFUpload.BUTTON_ACTION.SELECT_FILE

A shark, a shipwreck and the trials of menopause: Fourth of July beach reads
Authors from the 2019 Brooklyn Book Festival gave us their top picks.
July 3, 2019 Lore Croghan
The Fourth of July is upon us. What will you take to the beach to read? Eagle composite photo by Lore Croghan
Whether you're hitting the sands of Coney Island Beach this Fourth of July, jetting off to distant shores or simply sitting out on your fire escape, you'll need a book bag full of beach reads.
Because Brooklynites are a smart bunch, we're recommending page-turners that pack a literary punch and will keep your attention in the sizzling sun. This batch has been hand-picked by authors who are participating in this September's Brooklyn Book Festival — because who knows books like an author?
'Shark Drunk' by Morten Strøksnes
Recommended by Ryan Chapman
Image courtesy of Vintage Books
If you're like me, frying your brain on a white sand beach makes you very suggestible. Coronas at 11 a.m.? Sure. Buried up to your face by sadistic nieces and nephews? Why not. This same spirit imbues Norwegian journalist Morten Strøksnes's "Shark Drunk," whose subtitle says it all: "The Art of Catching a Large Shark from a Tiny Rubber Dinghy in a Big Ocean." Imagine Don Quixote as Captain Ahab and you have a sense of the ambition and absurdity of Strøksnes's mission. — Ryan Chapman
Chapman is a Sri Lankan-American novelist from Minneapolis. His first novel, "Riots I Have Known," was published in May. He lives in upstate New York.
'Run the Storm' by George Michelsen Foy
Recommended by Nicholas Mancusi
Eagle photo by Sara Bosworth
This is a riveting non-fiction account of the doomed SS El Faro, which went down in a 2015 hurricane along with all 33 souls aboard. Based largely on the black box recording taken from the bridge, Foy pays fitting tribute to the bravery shown by the mariners in their attempt to save the ship. Knowing the conclusion in advance, and Foy's respect for those lost, elevates this book to epic tragedy. — Nicholas Mancusi
Mancusi lives in Brooklyn. His debut novel is "A Philosophy of Ruin."
'Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls,' by T Kira Madden
Recommended by Kristen Arnett
Image courtesy of Bloomsbury Publishing
The book I'd recommend as a great beach read this Fourth of July is T Kira Madden's "Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls." This memoir is not only Florida-based (Madden grew up in Boca Raton), but also just full of heat and stickiness and humidity and heart. Even the cover makes you think of the beach, covered with glitter, the colors like a tropical sunset: Aqua and coral and shell-pink. It's a beautifully told story that you'll wanna devour in one sitting — perfect for a holiday read. — Kristen Arnett
Arnett's debut novel is "Mostly Dead Things."
'Flash Count Diary' by Darcey Steinke
Recommended by Helen Phillips
Image courtesy of Farrar, Straus & Giroux
This is the ideal beach read in its nuanced celebration of the human body in all its stages (and also there are lots of whales). — Helen Phillips
Phillips is an associate professor at Brooklyn College and the author of five books. Her most recent novel is called "The Need."
'Team of Rivals' by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Recommended by Patrice Nganang
Image courtesy of Simon and Schuster
I see myself coming back again and again to that book, because it made a lost time become so vivid, and presented the complexity of running what was then a smaller United States.— Patrice Nganang
Nganang, who was born in Cameroon, teaches comparative literature at Stony Brook University. His fifth novel, "When The Plums Are Ripe," will be published in August.
'The Parker Inheritance' by Varian Johnson
Recommended by Grace Lin
Image via VarianJohnson.com
I proudly read middle-grade books as I think they are some of the finest literature available these days, and the book I'd recommend is "The Parker Inheritance" by Varian Johnson. It's an exciting, puzzle-mystery in the spirit of "The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin but with the heart of "This Crazy Summer" by Rita Williams-Garcia (two other books I'd highly recommend). To win a fortune, two smart African-American kids have to figure out a series of puzzles as well as expose the dark secrets of the Jim Crow South. It's a fun read but also one that enlightens. Plus, since it takes place in the hot South it feels even more real when you read it in the hot sun! — Grace Lin
Lin is a children's book writer and illustrator. She is the author of "A Big Mooncake for Little Star."
'The Last Last-Day-of-Summer' by Lamar Giles
Recommended by Booki Vivat
Image via LamarGiles.com
When the Alston boys accidentally freeze time on the last day of summer, they have to work together to try and save their town. "The Last Last-Day-of-Summer" is wildly clever and full of summertime fun — not to mention a bunch of imaginative, quirky characters like my personal favorites, the Second Guessers and these giant platypus-like monsters called Time Sucks. This is the perfect book for any kid who is itching for a great adventure. Besides, who hasn't secretly wished they could make summer last forever? — Booki Vivat
Vivat, a children's book author and illustrator whose parents are Thai, grew up in Southern California. She now lives in Brooklyn. She is the author of "Frazzled #3: Minor Incidents and Absolute Uncertainties."
'Delayed Rays of a Star' by Amanda Lee Koe*
Recommended by Binnie Kirshenbaum
Image courtesy of Doubleday and Nan A. Talese
Amanda Lee Koe's "Delayed Rays of a Star" is a highly literary historical novel (think 'Wolf Hall') that traverses the earlier half of the 20th century through the eyes of three extraordinary women: Marlene Dietrich, Anna May Wong, and Leni Riefenstahl. This insightful and fascinating study of the ravages of fascism and racism is, somewhat paradoxically, a page-turner." — Binnie Kirshenbaum
Kirshenbaum is the author of six novels and a story collection. Her newest novel is "Rabbits for Food."
* "Delayed Rays of a Star" doesn't come out until Tuesday, July 9, making it the perfect post-vacation palette-cleanser.

New York City's most populous borough, Brooklyn, is home to nearly 2.6 million residents. If Brooklyn were an independent city it would be the fourth largest city in the United States. While Brooklyn has become the epitome of 'cool and hip' in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been 'uncool'.

A: I ran your simulation using the code you provided and managed to reproduce the error. Tracing through the logs, I found that the error occurred on the third motion update for node B, whereas your simulation script only seemed to have 2 legs in the motion model. That gave me a hint as to what the problem was.
Your motion model states:
[
  [duration:1.minutes, speed:0.mps, heading:100.deg],
  [time:1.minutes, duration:3.minutes, speed:1.mps, heading:100.deg]
]

This has 2 problems:

*

*The first leg has a duration of 1 minute. The second leg starts at 1 minute. While this is consistent, it is duplicate information and has a potential to create inconsistency. Better to specify one or the other, but not both. In your case, this isn't the reason for the exception.

*The second leg has a duration of 3 minutes. What happens after that is unspecified. So the simulator tries to do a third motion update, doesn't find a specification for it, and throws an exception.

I updated the motion model to:
[
  [duration:1.minutes, speed:0.mps, heading:100.deg],
  [speed:1.mps, heading:100.deg]
]

and the exception goes away. The second leg continues forever. Alternatively, if you wanted the node to stop moving after 3 minutes, you could do:
[
  [duration:1.minutes, speed:0.mps, heading:100.deg],
  [duration:3.minutes, speed:1.mps, heading:100.deg],
  [speed:0.mps]
]

and that should work too.
P.S. The exception thrown by UnetSim for this case was not very informative and so I'll file an issue to improve error checking/messages for motion models.


After a brief run-through of their wedding ceremony at the Soundside Club at Hurlburt Field in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, their family & friends headed over to Hemmingway's in Pensacola for a relaxing and scrumptious rehearsal dinner! The night finished up with some frosty bevvies at Bamboo Willies next door, and then late night at the Pier Bar! Stay tuned for their Florida Destination Wedding photos tomorrow!
What a beautiful night for a Pensacola Rehearsal Dinner!
Beautiful!! And YUM- that food looks delish!!!!!
So fun! I love photographing rehearsal dinners!!
This post made me hungry. Love all these pretty pictures!!
Ummm – that food looks SO good. Now I'm hungry for dinner (again)!

Q: Wuxt.js (Nuxt.js) getting out data from axios response I want to fetch out menu items from the Wordpress json response with Wuxt framework (Nuxt + Wordpress), but I can't access the data object outside the fetch (error message is that data is not defined)
This is my code
<script>
import axios from 'axios'
import Logo from '~/components/Logo'

export default {

  components: {
    Logo
  },

  async fetch ({ params, error }) {
    try {
      let { data } = await axios.get('http://localhost:3080/wp-json/wuxt/v1/menu')
      return data
    } catch (e) {
      error({ message: 'Not found', statusCode: 404 })
    }
  }
}
</script>

How can the data object be accessed, for inserting into the template?

A: If you are using fetch than all your data should be commiting into store, and accessed from it. If you want to return data, use asyncData method.

A: I had to change the code a bit, that it returns a data function with variable, so it looks like this.
export default {
  components: {
    Logo
  },
  data() {
    return { menus: [] }
  },
  mounted() {
    fetch('http://localhost:3080/wp-json/wuxt/v1/menu')
    .then(response => {
      response.json().then(menus => {
        this.menus = menus;
      })
    })
  }

}


Bruce Paine launched his CD "The Selwyn Recital" at historic Alberton in Mt Albert on Friday 28th September 2018.
During the launch Bruce explained the significance of the recording project and venue. The album was recorded at the Old Tua Marina Church (built 1875, moved and restored in 2014) in Blenheim New Zealand. Bruce's great-grandfather Frank Paine had been commissioned to decorate the building inside and out in 1904, a fact discovered by chance shortly after Bruce's concert for the Marlborough Musueum in Blenheim, NZ in 2016.
After the talk Bruce played 'Return to Finchdean' (also known as 'Finchdean Intermediate') then gave the world premiere performance of his composition Selwyn River Suite. This he followed with Pulsar by Vincent Lindsey-Clark, Variations on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by David Warin Solomons, and an impromptu performance of Zapateado (not on the CD being launched but included in his album 'Second Recital for Guitar') by Spanish guitarist/composer Regino Sainz de la Maza.
The performance over, Bruce had the pleasure of drawing numbers out of a 'hat' (paper bag) for the prize draw which saw three of Bruce's supporters receiving free copies of The Selwyn Recital.
CDs were available for sale during the launch party and there was a chance for a chat and to have copies signed. At the same time the 'Paine Catering Company' provided a superb, home made selection of savoury treats for all to sample. Towards the end of the evening guests were asked to raise a glass to Bruce's 'insignificant birthday'.
Bruce extends his sincere thanks to everyone involved in the occasion. It was the perfect way to launch his new album to the memory of his father Selwyn Paine.
The following photographs were on display during the launch showing the recording venue and other items of interest.

My favorite, most memorable reading experiences stem from stories where I feel such a close connection with the characters, I'm sure I know them. I laugh with them, cry with them, fret and sigh with them. When I get to those terrible two words – THE END – I experience a distinct, aching loss.
The easiest way for a writer to pull readers into their character's shoes is to write in the first person POV (point of view). Two factors make this technique particularly challenging: it is very difficult to master effectively, and it's limiting. When writing in first person POV, the story can only be told through the one character whose head we inhabit.
But there is another way – a better way. At the 2014 annual conference for the New England Chapter of the Romance Writers of America, I was honored to meet Suzanne Brockmann at a signing of her latest release, Do or Die.
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to chat with Suzanne about a technique she invented – Deep POV. This strategy allows the author to tell the story in the more flexible, third person. Yet often, the prose slips into first person, allowing the reader to hear a character's thoughts – smoothly, with no interruption.
Yes, she confirmed, that's the beauty of Deep POV. Although the writer maintains the freedom of third person, she also flips into first person to convey internal dialogue.
Now, that's nothing new. It's been done for generations this way, but the general rule is to place all internal thought in italics. Although her books are jam-packed with internal thought, Suzanne seldom uses italics. She is breaking the rules.
And her books are flying off the shelves. At first glance, an editor – or even a knowledgeable reader – may sense that POV shift (from third to first) as incorrect without those italics. But not by the end of the first few pages.
Case in point: open a copy of Brockmann's Do or Die. The author doesn't shock us into the protagonist's head, but starts out very traditionally. She lets us get acquainted with Ian Dunn, and start to care about him, though clearly in third person narration.
Is this authorial intrusion? No, it doesn't feel like it. It feels as though a portal has opened up into Ian Dunn's head, and suddenly, we can see and hear what's going on inside.
But it still wasn't enough. Blood. Blood always did the trick.
Yet none of this internal dialogue is italicized. Why?
Italics are difficult to read, and they are distracting. They interrupt the narrative flow. They jar the reader out of the story. They are speed bumps.
An effective storyteller doesn't want speed bumps to slow the reader down. She doesn't want anything standing between the reader and the story. She wants the virtual experience of coexisting inside a character's head to continue, uninterrupted, so the pages turn themselves.
Suzanne Brockmann is an effective storyteller. The "founder" of Deep POV, she's also a rule breaker. By so doing, she's giving the reader a virtual experience that neither third person, nor first person, can achieve alone.
It's a technique I proudly, blatantly, and with her permission, aim to emulate.

I had everything on hand for guacamole but the cilantro. Easy enough to buy some and lucky for me the avocados were ripe. I forgot the onion after there were no shallots at the store and I didn't realize it until later.
Mash the ripe avocados, mince the garlic, seed and chop the tomatoes, cilantro and onions or shallots if you have any and squeeze a generous amount of lime juice and Voila! Guacamole! Don't forget to buy chips. We had a delightful afternoon watching our college team football game, visiting with friends and snacking on a Saturday afternoon.
not to mention the lovely snacks!
Oh I'd love to have some of this guac right now! Looks divine. Your photos are lovely too.
A Touch of Fall Air!
