Do you need to haul up to seven people and their gear, maybe even to the slopes where traction is a concern? How about all that, getting the best fuel economy for any midsize Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). If this describes your life—and you know who you are—then continue reading as the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD just may fit your needs.
activated, when there is heavy acceleration or tire slippage is detected, as in driving on ice and snow.
Fuel economy for the Highlander Hybrid is rated at 27 city/28 highway with a combined of 28 mpg, just shy of our AWD 30 MPG Club. Running on regular unleaded, I drove 335 mostly highway miles and averaged 26 mpg. Which means I had about another 100 miles in the 17.1-gallon tank before empty.
To maximize fuel economy, Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive automatically switches between the electric drive mode, combined electric and gasoline engine, and gasoline-only engine power. The transitions are seamless and smooth, and can be monitored by viewing the dash gauges.
The Highlander Hybrid has three drive settings; D, EV and ECO, with the latter two indicated by a lighted EV and ECO on the instrument cluster. D is the default setting with ECO used for optimal fuel economy when cruising on the highway. EV is where you will be (if it does not kick into D) for around town driving under 25 mph. You can also use the S setting on the floor-mounted gear shifter for up-to 6 levels of engine braking, which can increase the amount of regenerated electricity being returned to the battery.
The nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery is charged by the engine and through the regenerative charging system, which converts kinetic energy into electric energy and stores it in the battery when applying the brakes or coasting. This process is also viewed on a dash gauge where you can watch the power flow into and out of the battery and engine.
The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid can tow 3,500 lbs and weighs in at 4,861 lbs. That heft is handled by rack and pinion electronic power assist steering with a front MacPherson strut with coil springs, and a double wishbone rear suspension. On the highway the Highlander Hybrid was easy to drive but at times it would begin to float when the road undulations and rhythm were just right. A brief lift of the accelerator remedied this sensation and all was good. The steering feel was light and could be stiffer, which would not compromise any of the ride attributes.
The Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD comes with 19-inch alloy wheels and is not designed to be a sports SUV, like the VW, Audi or Porsche. Hard or spirited cornering revealed significant understeer and body lean, which really isn't unexpected from a vehicle that is meant for family transportation.
Stopping comes from Toyota's Electronically Controlled Brake System (ECB) that incorporates regenerative control and power-assisted, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). The stops were straight and consistent, but for the first time in any Toyota hybrid I have reviewed (That would include the Prius C & V, Prius, Prius Plug-in, Camry and Avalon), the brakes were touchy and grabby and I could feel the regenerative system strongly. It took some experimentation to get used to the over-sensitive brakes. When coming to a stop the combination of the regenerative braking and the hybrid motor made a noticeable, but not unpleasant, whine.
The Highlander Hybrid was redesigned for 2014 resulting in a less boxy look with softer lines and edges, which is consistent with Toyota's current design theme. It is three inches longer than the previous model and the roofline has been lowered for a more aerodynamic look and feel. As is pretty common and the current trend in SUV design from all brands, the Highlander Hybrid has a large, aggressive grill that is the predominant feature on the front end. The wrap-around headlight design has a nice look, housing the projector-beam LED headlights. Toyota has thankfully stayed away from an overabundance of chrome bits and pieces.
PosicionamientoWebEngoogle.info was driving the entry level of the two Hybrid models, the Limited, which was nicely equipped with a power tilt and sliding moonroof, adjustable power liftgate with a very handy flip-up rear window, power windows, door locks and mirrors, 12V power outlets, folding heated power side mirrors, cruise control and multiple cup holders.
adjustable. The second row is Captain's Chairs (no second row bench seat is available in the hybrid) and the third row is a 60/40 folding and reclining bench seat. The second row passengers also had integrated side window shades, climate controls and folding armrests with cup holders.
The rear seat passengers on our Highlander Hybrid were entertained by the optional BluRay DVD Entertainment System with a 9-inch display, RCA jacks, remote control and wireless headphones. Probably the only issue will be the single screen being shared by rear seat passengers. To address this there were 120V, AC power and USB outlets in the rear seating area for portable players.
The Highlander Hybrid Infotainment (entertainment and information) comes through Toyota's Entune system with its App Suite, which includes voice command navigation through an 8-inch high-resolution touch-screen. Excellent sound comes from the Premium JBL audio system with 12 speakers to deliver SiriusXM/FM/CD/HDAM with MP3 playback capability. The AM/FM is a cache radio, which is a nice feature and SiriusXM service is included for 90 days. There is an auxiliary audio jack, USB port with iPod connectivity, music streaming via Bluetooth wireless technology and hands-free phone capability. The auto-dimming rearview mirror was Homelink equipped and the voice activation for the telephone and navigation worked well.
The cockpit design is driver friendly except for one big concern. When I was comfortably sitting in the driver seat I was unable, at 5' 9", to reach the channel knob on the far right side of the radio. I had to lean forward and to the right. I had a 6' 1" friend try it with the same result. This obviously is a design issue that Toyota should remedy. Otherwise, the gauges, including the hybrid management system, are in easy sight and with controls in easy reach including those for the tri-zone automatic temperature system. The leather-wrapped steering wheel contains audio telephone and voice controls. The roll-top center console has a lower area that is huge and can swallow-up pretty much anything you want to store away to be out of sight for security reasons.
The Highlander Hybrid is well equipped with active and passive safety features including 10 air bags, TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), hill start control, collapsible steering column, anti-theft alarm and engine immobilizer, rear view camera, blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert and the previously mentioned four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
The Highlander Hybrid Limited PosicionamientoWebEngoogle.info was driving had the optional rear-seat Entertainment Package ($1,810), Driver Technology Package ($1,400) and carpeted floor mats with cargo liner ($230), bringing the total MSRP, with the $860 Inland Freight and Handling Fee, to $51,600.

very comfortable, especially for long trips and outings. The carrying capacity makes hauling luggage easy on those long trips.
The hybrid power provides the best non-diesel fuel economy in the class and is greatly appreciated for a vehicle of this size and weight that can carry seven passengers in comfort.
If your family has grown to the point where a vehicle of this size and cost fits your needs, then by all means visit your Toyota dealership and have them walk you through all the features, technology and options and explain the hybrid technology in detail.

When I adopted my dog more than two years ago, I immediately bought pet insurance for a number of reasons. Jayda liked to run out the front door and down the street. She liked to tangle with other dogs. She shared water bowls and toys with dozens of random pups at the park, and the list goes on.
It was nice knowing that if she got sick or there was an emergency, I could rush her to the nearest vet and not worry so much about the cost. I also figured it might come in handy if she developed arthritis or cancer later in life.
When my son came along last summer and I joined a few baby groups, I was reminded how glad I am to have pet insurance. I've already met half a dozen new parents who are struggling with sick pets. Some cats and dogs remain undiagnosed due to the potential costs of testing.
These parents are torn because their pets were so loyal for so many years before the human babies entered the picture, but now time and money are both harder to come by. It probably goes without saying, but my best advice for new parents is definitely: insure your pets!
A few weeks ago, Jayda jumped up on the bed after a long day and immediately peed on a blanket. It was almost like she couldn't help it – out it came. I wrote it off as a bizarre incident and hoped it wouldn't happen again.
Unfortunately, she started having leaky accidents about once a week after that. It was always the same situation – we were relaxing in the evening, she was awake but not licking or chewing, and when she got up, there was a puddle under her. I put a towel under her each night after the first incident, so I was able to pick it up and verify it was urine. All her other habits were unchanged. She ate the same, drank the same and still went potty outside as before.
On a Saturday in December when I should have been Christmas shopping, I found myself in the vet's office with Jayda and an infant in tow. Boy was it nice to know I had pet insurance in case my suspicions of a lifelong condition were confirmed.
Our veterinarian did blood work to check Jayda's organ function and rule out kidney disease, kidney stones, crystals and urinary tract infection. Everything came back clear, meaning her diagnosis was plain old incontinence, at just 3 years old!
It turns out, incontinence affects about 20% of spayed female dogs. Onset is often between ages 2 – 5. Hormones play a role in controlling bladder muscles, and sometimes those hormones don't work as well as they should. While not curable, it's easily treatable with daily medication.
Considering Jayda's size, I could easily have her for another 10 years. That's a lot of pills. I'm so glad we have Pets Best Insurance to help offset the cost! Our story is a great example of why pet insurance is so important – it's for the unexpected, and I never would have expected this.

Philippines' FDA stymied on e-cigarettes
The Philippines' Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is said to have questioned how electronic cigarettes have gone on sale to the public without clearance from the agency, according to a Cebu City Sun Star story.
The director of the FDA, Dr. Kenneth Go, was quoted as asking how, since electronic cigarettes did not pass through the agency, they had entered the country with "all sorts of positive health benefits" being claimed for them.
However, Go seemed to answer his own question when he said that the FDA could not block the sale of electronic cigarettes because of a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the Supreme Court on the FDA's authority to regulate tobacco and its by-products.
The TRO was issued in a favor of the Philippine Tobacco Institute (PTI).
Go said that if the TRO were lifted, the FDA would have the authority to regulate electronic cigarettes.

A Teaching Outline, Part 1
I was looking at a passage from Shoghi Effendi with a friend yesterday, and they asked a wonderful question. They asked, "And what does that mean?" In other words, how does it apply in our life?
You see, I am of the belief that everything in the Writings can be acted upon. I believe that every word and every phrase can have a direct application to our daily life, if we only try and look for it.
Admittedly, some are easier to see than others, such as washing your feet every day in the summer. I can do that. That's not too difficult to act upon. In fact, it even feels good, squishing the cool water through your toes on a hot summer day. But I digress.
There are other passages that seem easy, until you try and figure it out in detail. One example would be "Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart..." I mean, really, how do you actually do that? (And obviously you don't go out and buy a nice heart in the butcher's shop, clean it up and plug it into the wall.) For that, you really need to look at more of the Writings to figure it out.
But the one we were looking at yesterday is from The Advent of Divine Justice . And it seems like it should be straightforward, but there are many questions that arise as we begin to act upon it.
It's a fairly lengthy passage, but seems to cover most of the basics about helping someone move from never having heard about the Faith to becoming an avowed supporter of the Cause.
So, in its entirety, here is the paragraph from pages 42 - 44 (I said it was long).
"Having on his own initiative, and undaunted by any hindrances with which either friend or foe may, unwittingly or deliberately, obstruct his path, resolved to arise and respond to the call of teaching, let him carefully consider every avenue of approach which he might utilize in his personal attempts to capture the attention, maintain the interest, and deepen the faith, of those whom he seeks to bring into the fold of his Faith. Let him survey the possibilities which the particular circumstances in which he lives offer him, evaluate their advantages, and proceed intelligently and systematically to utilize them for the achievement of the object he has in mind. Let him also attempt to devise such methods as association with clubs, exhibitions, and societies, lectures on subjects akin to the teachings and ideals of his Cause such as temperance, morality, social welfare, religious and racial tolerance, economic cooperation, Islam, and Comparative Religion, or participation in social, cultural, humanitarian, charitable, and educational organizations and enterprises which, while safeguarding the integrity of his Faith, will open up to him a multitude of ways and means whereby he can enlist successively the sympathy, the support, and ultimately the allegiance of those with whom he comes in contact. Let him, while such contacts are being made, bear in mind the claims which his Faith is constantly making upon him to preserve its dignity, and station, to safeguard the integrity of its laws and principles, to demonstrate its comprehensiveness and universality, and to defend fearlessly its manifold and vital interests. Let him consider the degree of his hearer's receptivity, and decide for himself the suitability of either the direct or indirect method of teaching, whereby he can impress upon the seeker the vital importance of the Divine Message, and persuade him to throw in his lot with those who have already embraced it. Let him remember the example set by 'Abdu'l-Bahá, and His constant admonition to shower such kindness upon the seeker, and exemplify to such a degree the spirit of the teachings he hopes to instill into him, that the recipient will be spontaneously impelled to identify himself with the Cause embodying such teachings. Let him refrain, at the outset, from insisting on such laws and observances as might impose too severe a strain on the seeker's newly awakened faith, and endeavor to nurse him, patiently, tactfully, and yet determinedly, into full maturity, and aid him to proclaim his unqualified acceptance of whatever has been ordained by Bahá'u'lláh. Let him, as soon as that stage has been attained, introduce him to the body of his fellow-believers, and seek, through constant fellowship and active participation in the local activities of his community, to enable him to contribute his share to the enrichment of its life, the furtherance of its tasks, the consolidations of its interests, and the coordination of its activities with those of its sister communities. Let him not be content until he has infused into his spiritual child so deep a longing as to impel him to arise independently, in his turn, and devote his energies to the quickening of other souls, and the upholding of the laws and principles laid down by his newly adopted Faith."
Ok. If you're like me, and I know you're not, dear Reader, you probably skipped over most of that and just scrolled down to here.
To make it comprehensible to one as obtuse as myself, I decided to make a bit of an outline, just to see if it made any more sense.
Resolve to arise and teach
Consider every avenue of approach
Survey possibilities in own life
Proced intelligently and systematically
Devise methods to open ways to more contacts
Bear in mind dignity, etc...
Consider degree of hearer's receptivity
Remember example of 'Abdu'l-Baha
Refrain, at beginning, from insisting on laws that may be too much
Try to nurse the person into full maturity
Help him declare
Introduce him to body of fellow-believers
Enable them to contribute their share to the growth of the Faith
Do not be content until individual arises independently
Fourteen steps, some of which occur concurrently, but still. Fourteen steps.
It seems to me that the first four steps are all prepartion. Obviously the first step is to be committed to actually getting up and teaching. If you don't resolve to do it, you'll never actually get off your butt and do it. But even then, you can be determined, but not look at your own reality, your daily life. Steps two, three and four are all about looking at your own life and working within that context. I may want to teach the Faith amongst the Romany people, but there isn't a Romany population here in my home town. Kinda sucks, doesn't it?
No. All our teaching efforts have to be centered around our own circumstances. That is why there is no "correct way" to do all this. Each of us is unique and our circumstances are, too. What works for me may not be applicable to anyone else.
But the outline is still the same.
Sep one (through four) - consider your own life.
Once you have done that, you may have a list that looks something like this: When I am writing, I like to write in coffee shops, so I should find one in which people are more open to talking to others. I love the arts, and am an artist, so I can join an art society. When I put my work in a gallery, I can have an open house in order to meet more people who like what I do.
This is, of course, just a beginning. But you see how each idea connects to my own life?
In step five, we go beyond our ordinary life with work and stuff, and see if we can reach a bit further. I love to cook, and I enjoy people, so volunteering at a soup kitchen may be an idea. I live near a military base, so perhaps I can do some work with the Military Family Resource Centre. I have a passion for religion and interfaith work, so joining an interfaith society may be right up my alley.
This is where I am now beginning to see where my own interests can move me into circles that have similar ideas towhat we see within the Faith.
In step 6, we turn our attention inward a bit. We remember that we should proceed with dignity, as we are representing the Faith to numerous people at this point. The way we dress, the words we say, how we say them, our every action: people are watching. And if we act in a bozoid way, this actually reflects poorly upon the Faith, not just on ourselves.
I remember a situation years ago in which I was selling my artwork at a show, and I had to camp out there for nearly two months. As there were a number of us living on the site, we had something of a small community feel. During that time, although I was not aware of it, a number of these friends began to comment amongst themselves that they noticed I never swore or drank alcohol. They noticed that I always tried to be clean, which can be tricky when you're camping in a muddy field. In short, they noticed many things about me that I wasn't even aware of demonstrating. I'm sure there were many poor qualities they noticed, too, but were just too polite to mention. But as they learned that I was a Baha'i, my previous behaviour worked in my favour. Many were interested in hearing about the Faith, and some even declared. (How cool is that?)
So we always need to be aware of our behaviour and act with dignity, especially when we think nobody is watching.
This brings us up to step 7, in which we finally get to meet the person we are hoping to teach. We have already stepped up to the plate by steeling our resolve. We have gone out and mingled with many individuals, and made sure to be on our best behaviour, but now we narrow it down. Now we are actually dealing with a real person, and not just a crowd.

Q: Is it still possible to host a CSGO lan party without internet access? I am wanting to host a lan party with friends for CSGO, but the location will have patchy internet access.  Following the introduction of GSLTs and the removal of listen servers, is it still possible to host a game without internet access?
i.e. is there a way of starting a csgo dedicated server for a LAN game only, without needing to connect to the internet?

A: *

*Start steam in Offline-Mode (should be done automatically if you don't have Internet anyway).

*Make sure all of your computers are connected via LAN.

*In console type: map map.

*Kick the bots with the console command: bot_kick all.

*Allow people to join via LAN on your server with the command: sv_lan 1 (not sure if it is on 1 or 0 by default).

*With the command status you can see details of your server (e.g. IP).

*Your friends are able to join your server with the command connect <IP>.

Matter, that neither Achievements nor the EXP System are available off-line.
Connecting should be also possible via the client (Community Server), but I don't have personal experience with that and heard that it is buggy.
Don't forget to allow CS:GO through the Firewall when the notification pops up.

A: You are either not gonna be able to open CS:GO or you are only gonna be able to play against bots. It's an online game so there is no comps, no casual no deathmatch, no nothing.

Feedback sought on planned B Line stops
Andrew Hazzard / ahazzard@southwestjournal.com
Updated: December 17, 2019 - 12:16 pm
Metro Transit planners behind the future B Line bus rapid transit (BRT) project along Lake Street are seeking feedback on ideal stop locations.
The B Line will connect the West Lake Street light rail station to Downtown St. Paul via Lake Street and Marshall and Selby avenues. Initially planned to go only as far east as Snelling Avenue, the line now hopes to directly connect South Minneapolis to major destinations in Downtown St. Paul.
Preliminary recommendations call for 33 stops for the B Line, averaging 2–3 stops per mile. Some of those stops are certain, but most are up for debate.
In Southwest, the only certain stops are currently West Lake Station, Nicollet Avenue and the Lake & I-35W Transit Station. Right now, potential stops are at Dean Parkway, Knox Avenue, Hennepin Avenue and Lyndale Avenue. Metro Transit has an interactive project survey online that will be open through Jan. 31 at tinyurl.com/BLineStops.
The B Line would largely replace Route 21 on Lake Street in Minneapolis. BRT seeks to bring faster service with fewer stops, larger buses, pre-boarding fare payment and other amenities. Route 21 is the second-busiest bus line in the Twin Cities and carries 20% of people traveling on Lake Street, according to Metro Transit. The buses make up just 2% of the vehicles driving on the street.
The project will cost $55 million to $65 million, according to early estimates. The Metropolitan Council has earmarked $26 million for the project. Pending full funding, construction of the line would begin in 2022.

In the context of data warehouse design, a basic role is played by conceptual modeling, that provides a higher level of abstraction in describing the warehousing process and architecture in all its aspects, aimed at achieving independence of implementation issues.
This chapter focuses on a conceptual model called the DFM that suits the variety of modeling situations that may be encountered in real projects of small to large complexity.
The aim of the chapter is to propose a comprehensive set of solutions for conceptual modeling according to the DFM and to give the designer a practical guide for applying them in the context of a design methodology.
Besides the basic concepts of multidimensional modeling, the other issues discussed are descriptive and cross-dimension attributes; convergences; shared, incomplete, recursive, and dynamic hierarchies; multiple and optional arcs; and additivity.

Sequencing paediatric antiretroviral therapy in the context of a public health approach
Ragna S. Boerma*, T. Sonia Boender, Michael Boele Van Hensbroek, Tobias F.Rinke De Wit, Kim C.E. Sigaloff
Introduction: As access to prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) efforts has increased, the total number of children being born with HIV has significantly decreased. However, those children who do become infected after PMTCT failure are at particular risk of HIV drug resistance, selected by exposure to maternal or paediatric antiretroviral drugs used before, during or after birth. As a consequence, the response to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in these children may be compromised, particularly when non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are used as part of the first-line regimen. We review evidence guiding choices of first- and second-line ART. Discussion: Children generally respond relatively well to ART. Clinical trials show the superiority of protease inhibitor (PI)- over NNRTI-based treatment in young children, but observational reports of NNRTI-containing regimens are usually favourable as well. This is reassuring as national guidelines often still recommend the use of NNRTI-based treatment for PMTCT-unexposed young children, due to the higher costs of PIs. After failure of NNRTI-based, first-line treatment, the rate of acquired drug resistance is high, but HIV may well be suppressed by PIs in second-line ART. By contrast, there are currently no adequate alternatives in resource-limited settings (RLS) for children failing either first- or second-line, PI-containing regimens. Conclusions: Affordable salvage treatment options for children in RLS are urgently needed.

Starkweather
Crossbearer / Into the Wire [Reissue] (2015)
Translation Loss
Reviewer haborym
Translation Loss Records has taken it upon themselves last year to re-issue Starkweather's first two albums, Crossbearer and Into the Wire.  They decided to completely remaster all of the tracks as well as throw in a whole bunch of bonus tracks from the eras in which the albums we recorded.  The album is two discs, which is a requirement, since Starkweather loves to record songs in the six-to-eight minute range, so even a six song album like the original Into the Wire has the length of an album and feels like much more than an EP.
The first disc is the ten tracks on 1994's Crossbearer with the songs "Shards" and "Unto Me" separated into two tracks where they were originally one track on the original album. Â The second disc contains the original six tracks from Into the Wire as the first six songs and adds six additional songs - "Mainline" "Desolate" and "Divine Art" that originally appeared on the Philly Dust Krew compilation, "Bitterfrost" originally appeared on their split seven-inch with Season to Risk (one of the strangest splits I've heard during the course of my entire life), "Hushabye and Goodnight" originally appeared on the Definitely Not the Majors compilation on Bush League Records (track it down - you owe it to yourself) and "Taming Leeches with Fire" is the demo version of the song that eventually appeared on Starkweather's 2006 release Croatoan. Â
There is a thick, glossy booklet that includes all of the lyrics in a sometimes difficult to read red ink on grey art. Â But who cares about all of that? Â The music is what really makes this amazing. Â Unfortunately, Starkweather has yet to receive the following they deserve. Â Whether it's the tortured growls or haunting singing, the macabre and dark lyrics, the pummeling drums, the melodic/heavy/chugging guitar, or the bass contributing to the lows while complimenting the guitar, this band has it all. Â For music this epic, you would expect them to be a lot more than a four-piece, but Starkweather manages to handle all of this with just one person on guitar and one on bass. Â
 Most people discuss Starkweather in terms of being somewhere between hardcore and metal, and I agree with that to a point, but they're so much more unique and genre-defying than that.  If you're into heavy music and you've wondered about the limitations of human vocals, this album answers that.  I won't say that the remaster is the difference between night and day, but these tracks didn't need that - the original recordings hold up well.  It's like putting a clear-coat after you wax your car - it's that little bit of extra zing.

John George (d.o.b./d.o.d unknown) was a Californian politician and the first African American elected to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. George served as supervisor for the Alameda County's District 5 for over ten years from December 1976 to January 1989.

A psychiatric hospital administered by the Alameda County Medical Center, the John George Psychiatric Pavilion opened in 1992 and was named after George to honor his advocacy for the mentally ill. George had stated "My people [African Americans] were the first laboratory animals in America." In October 1989 a Democratic Party club was formed and also named after George, the John George Democratic Club  whose goals are "In his memory and in an effort to keep his voice and vision alive in the Democratic Party."

George is described as  the leading proponent of the health care, welfare, and workers' rights of all County citizens, an early activist in the struggle for civil rights and affirmative action and a long-time leader in the local Anti-Apartheid Movement.

RV satellite dishes provide a high tech way of retaining the luxury of watching television while you are traveling. RV campsites and travel can be very enjoyable and the addition of a satellite dish only increases the fun and entertainment. You can get the all the updates and even watch other games, which makes it perfect for tailgating at sporting events. The news can provide essential information when traveling or camping. Overall, it is the perfect asset to your RV.
Dishes are the main component of a satellite system. They consist in a parabolic reflector which collects the signal and reflects it to the systems LNB or feedhorn. It functions similar to an antenna with a larger surface area. Some can support multiple receivers for several televisions. Others are designed to only accommodate one. It all depends on the brand and model. However, most mobile dishes that are electronically controlled to find the optimal signal are only for one receiver/ television.
The placement of your satellite dish is crucial to receiving a good signal. Most RV dishes are mounted on the roof for easy operation and good signals. The location of the satellite changes and especially with RV dishes it can be hard to find. Therefore, it is essential that the dish can move. Some use a mechanical swivel to change direction of the dish by hand. However, other models incorporate the use of a sensing device to move the dish to a proper angle for best reception. These are usually more expensive by a large margin, yet the accuracy and convenience is well worth the extra money. Consumers should note that if the RV is parked under a tree then this can incur some complications. Making sure your RV and dish are level is also an important issue to ensure a good signal.

Q: How to get around using global objects in this scenario I have a program that displays several charts on a TV monitor and these charts get cycled through every 30 seconds or so.
I'm using global objects for each chart that is displayed (so the objects contains some bar, area,line series', and some methods). The reason i have them global is because after the initial sql query is executed (every day at 7am) the data for the charts won't change. I just need to cycle through 20 different charts throughout the day.
Would using local objects be a waste in this scenario? Everytime it is time to switch to a new chart the program would have to create a new object and populate the different series' with datapoints that are always the same.
What can i do to avoid using global objects in this scenario? The reason i'm asking is because i've read that you should keep away from global objects in your programs.

A: Global/local objects - its really a matter of encapsulation (and a matter of scope - objects can be application global or class global - best practice is to initialize and assign an object as close to where it is needed, scopewise - and scope can be application (namespace actually), class, method and even block (like using{} or foreach{}). Instead of creating a lot of application global members you should encapsulate them into classes and initialize those classes. First of all you dont clutter your main loop and secondly you have all the advantages of, well classes - subclassing, polymorphism, etc. Keep references to those classes as long as you need them, in your case, as far as I can tell, keep them until the data changes. That would be 24 hours? So what?
At some point your data will need to be accessible from the main application object anyhow. If you encapsulated your data objects nicely, i.e. create some classes that hold all the information you need to display, you will still have to initialize those classes in your main application loop.
I do not think it is necessary to recreate the objects every 30 seconds. Once you populated the class members they dont change, except if you change or dispose them of course. Also it seems unlikely to me that they actually hog your computers memory so much that each chart should really get disposed once it was displayed only to get recreated a few seconds or possibly minutes later from data which had to be stored in memory somewhere anyhow.
The way I understand how your app should work I would create a base chart class, create as many chart subclasses as I have charts (if they differ from each other in object design, else just create on class and, possibly put them in a List(), fill each chart at 7am and loop through the collection to display them.

A: Using global objects are to be avoided in large projects because they generally affect the flexibility of the system.
For example, when the business object caches results for 24 hours, it means other parts of the program that may wish to fetch the latest result will end up getting cached values, or it will have to be rewritten.
This problem can be avoided by not using class members, but instance members. e.g.
public class ResultsCache
{
  public IEnumerable<Visitors> TotalVisitors {get; }
  public IEnumerable<Purchases> TotalPurchases {get; }
  public IEnumerable<Refunds> TotalRefunds {get; }

  public void FetchData() {
     //...
  }
}

var cache24hours = new ResultsCache();
var currentView = new RefundsView(cache24hours);
