GA Officials Push Back After Californians Vow To Move To State To Vote In Senate Runoffs
Some liberals have been urging Democrats to move to the state

Georgia's new slogan might just be, "Don't come here, you're not welcome."
At least that would be the message to Californians who are reportedly planning to move to the state just to vote in two upcoming Senate runoff elections.
"Democrats in the Golden State have been hounding political organizers with questions about how they can travel to Georgia to volunteer for Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock," Fox News reported, citing the San Francisco Chronicle.
And much of that would be legal: Visiting the state to help canvass for Democrats or to work at phone backs is allowed. But moving there just to vote is not.
"In order to be able to register to vote in Georgia, you have to be a Georgia resident," said Gabriel Sterling, Georgia's voting system manager. "That means you have to believe you are staying in Georgia."
"Let me be clear about this: If you want to move to Georgia and be a part of the No. 1 state in America to do business, we are happy to have you," Sterling said, according to Fox News. "But … if you voted for Senate in one state and moved here to another state, I know that's another thing that could potentially go before the courts, because you've already cast a vote for a body that could be seated in January. Don't game our system."
The U.S. Senate is now 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats (including two independents that caucus with the party). The two last races are in Georgia, where winners must top 50% or the race goes into a runoff. Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue holds just below 50% of the vote in the state over Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, so the pair will go into a runoff on Jan. 5. Also that day, Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Raphael Warnock will face off for the state's other Senate seat.
Since Election Day, some top liberals have suggested that Democrats move to Georgia, hoping they can change the outcome of the elections.
"The best thing we could do for Joe is to get him a Democratic Senate," former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang wrote on Twitter. "There should be coordination of resources. Everyone who campaigned for Joe should get ready to head to Georgia. I'll go. It's the only way to sideline Mitch and give Joe a unified government," he wrote, referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden.
"There isn't much time," Yang added. "The earliest date for absentee ballots to be mailed for the runoff is Nov. 18. The registration deadline is Dec. 7. The In-person early voting begins Dec. 14."
Yang also wrote: "Great news #yanggang – Evelyn and I are moving to Georgia to help @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock win! This is our only chance to clear Mitch out of the way and help Joe and Kamala get things done in the next 4 years. More details to come but let's go!!!"
Great news #yanggang – Evelyn and I are moving to Georgia to help @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock win! This is our only chance to clear Mitch out of the way and help Joe and Kamala get things done in the next 4 years. More details to come but let's go!!! 😀🇺🇸🚀 https://t.co/egcdwqC1qZ
— Andrew Yang🧢🇺🇸 (@AndrewYang) November 8, 2020
Yang isn't the only one urging Democrats to move to Georgia. "I hope everyone moves to Georgia in the next month or two, registers to vote, and votes for these two Democratic senators," New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said in a CNN interview this week.
And abortion-rights activist Tamara Stevens, with the progressive group Handmaids Coalition of Georgia, made a similar plea on Facebook, National Review reported. "Hey all you Northern Democrats! You are all invited to spend the Winter in Georgia!!! Come on down and we will cook for you too!!! Y'allywood … start ramping up productions and get all those West Coast Liberals here too!"

Share this Story: Harper promises more legislation to combat terror threats
Harper promises more legislation to combat terror threats
Jessica Hume
Prime Minister Stephen Harper vowed Thursday to face "head on" the jihadists who he said have declared war on everyone who doesn't see the world their way.
He also pledged to bring in new national security-related legislation, but didn't tip his hand what that might entail.
"The reality of the world, and I don't say this with any particular pleasure or excitement, is that the international jihadist movement has declared war," he said in Delta, B.C., in his first public response to the deadly attack on French satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday. "They have declared war on anybody who does not think and act exactly in the way they wish them to think and act."
Last year, the government introduced Bill C-44, that would boost CSIS's powers, including greater information sharing and operations internationally. Bill C-13, that would give police more powers for surveillance and tracking, is also awaiting a vote.
The bills were partly inspired by the rise of international terror threats within our own borders.
While the Paris attack reminds Canadians terror can strike anywhere at any time, Harper said threat levels have not been raised in the wake of the shootings.
"The level of security threat is decided by the director of (Canadian spy agency) CSIS with the integrated national security team, not by politicians," he said.
Terror levels have been closely watched since Canada joined U.S.-led coalition forces in October to conduct airstrikes in Iraq against the Islamic State.
Harper called the terror group a "movement of hatred and intolerance" and urged Canadians not to let the threat disrupt their daily lives.
"I encourage people to go about their lives, exercise our freedoms," he said.
"This is going to be, unfortunately, the reality of the world that I think we're living in for some time to come and we're going to just have to face that head on and deal with it."

The last days of June are heating up, and romance is (hopefully) simmering as well. Some sexual sizzle is divine, but it's wise to remember that we're entering the time of Cancer, from June 21 through July 21, when emotional ties take priority.
Cancer is a water sign that represents the mother in us all. To be in the flow of this nurturing energy, you need to access your sensitive, intuitive, home-loving side. Heart-to-heart talks with your partner that deepen your emotional connection are favored now. It's also a great time to reconnect with family members you haven't seen in a while, and express your appreciation to those you love. Beautifying your home will bring satisfaction. Outdoors, the call of wild water entices explorations of rivers, lakes, and oceans. And since the Moon rules Cancer, you'll be energized by the lunar light as well, which casts a romantic glow over sultry nights.
To fully appreciate this sensual season, let's dive into Cancer's watery depths.
Extraordinarily sensitive and nurturing, Cancers are the caretakers of the zodiac. They are family-oriented and find fulfillment through creating a comfortable home for loved ones to enjoy. They are very protective of those they love, and will help just about anyone in need. It's easy to hurt their feelings, however, and they are capable of crawling into their shell – the symbol of Cancer is the crab – and staying there until they receive a sincere (and repeated) apology. Even then, it may be some time before the Cancer feels safe enough to open up emotionally. They can be secretive and moody, and quite capable of holding a grudge. Letting go of the past is one of their greatest challenges. Still, their kindhearted nature enables them to forgive the transgressions of others.
Cancers are all heart. If you hold the heart of a Cancer, you'll be blessed with all the love you can handle – and then some. Cancers can be clingy if they're insecure about their relationships. Actually, they don't let go easily under any circumstances, so rest assured they'll stay with you through thick and thin – if you treat them kindly.
To make your Cancer happy, express your feelings freely. Don't be shy. It's hard to overdo sentimentality with your Cancer. They love gifts that remind them of your relationship – friends and lovers alike. It doesn't have to be expensive, just a sweet reminder of your admiration. Food and love go hand-in-hand with Cancers as well, so offering up a scrumptious meal will inspire their undying affection.
The only thing you'll need to watch out for is how your Cancer expresses anger. Cancers are notorious for being passive-aggressive if they haven't learned to be direct. You may need to gently prompt your Cancer into expressing their uncomfortable feelings. If you can establish a relationship based on security, sensitivity and trust, you and your Cancer stand an excellent chance of living happily every after.
Being excellent caretakers, Cancers often go into healing professions. They make exceptional doctors, nurses or psychologists. Cancers usually feel a special tie with children, so they make wonderful teachers, especially of grade-schoolers. Being security-minded, with an eye for detail, gives them a talent for finance, business, and real estate. And since Cancer rules food, a career in hospitality, restaurant managing or catering will use their talents as well. Mainly, Cancers need to feel emotionally fulfilled by their professions. Lacking that, they will find fulfillment through providing for their families, no matter what kind of work they do.
In general, Cancers inspire us to appreciate emotional ties, especially those of family. They make the world a better place through their compassion and sacrifice for those they love. Kindness is their motto. Now who doesn't need more of that? The perfect example of a kind-hearted Cancer is the Dalai Lama.
WOW, I can't believe this is spot on even though I really wish it weren't true. I want to crawl inside my shell and NEVER come out. I wish I could completely be comfortable just being me and ever want to be in a relationship. Starting to become very content being alone!
i am very, very ,very interested in a gentalman in detoroit michigan. should i continue to pursue him? do he realy like?

Die Mercury Bay ist eine große V-förmige Bucht an der östlichen Pazifikküste der Coromandel Peninsula in Neuseeland. Die Mündung der Bucht ist etwa 10 km breit und etwa 10 km tief.

In der Mitte der Bucht verengt sich die Bucht zu einer schmalen Durchfahrt, dahinter bildet sich der Whitianga Harbour, ein Naturhafen mit mehreren Armen, der sich weitere 6 km in das Land erstreckt. An der Nordseite der Engstelle liegt die Gemeinde Whitianga. Eine Fähre überquert die Enge nach Cooks Beach. Weitere Orte um die Bucht sind Kaimarama und Coroglen.

Der New Zealand State Highway 25 verläuft um die Bucht und durch Whitianga.
Nördlich und südlich der Mündung liegen mehrere kleine Inselchen. Die Mercury Islands liegen über 10 km entfernt im Norden.

In die Bucht münden mehrere kleine Flüsse, die ihr Einzugsgebiet in der Coromandel Range haben, darunter der Mahakirau und Kaimarama River, Ounuora, Waiwara, Kapowai und Whanuakite River.

Die Bucht wird von Sportfischern geschätzt, so kann hier der Marlin gefangen werden. In der Bucht gibt es auch einen Yachtclub, den Mercury Bay Yacht Club, der 1988 der Herausforderer in Neuseelands erster Challenge für den America's Cup war.

Am Südwestufer des äußeren Teiles der Bucht liegt der Ort Cooks Beach. Ein Steinsockel erinnert an die Landung von James Cook und seine Beobachtung des Durchgang des Merkur.

Plans are to rename marsh the S'amunu Wildlife Management Area.
Jun. 3, 2018 9:00 a.m.
Plans are for the Somenos Marsh to soon be renamed the S'amunu Wildlife Management Area.
Cowichan Tribes, which has a history in the marsh for thousands of years, and the Vancouver Island Conservation Land Management Program have announced they have formed a new partnership for the delivery of projects and programs in the marsh area.
The VICLMP is a partnership that involves the management of over 100 conservation areas on Vancouver Island and the West Coast, such as the Somenos Marsh.
The partnership includes the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, The Nature Trust of BC, Ducks Unlimited Canada, and Environment and Climate Change Canada.
According to a press release, the partners will continue to work on projects and programs that help fulfill the goals and objectives of several species at risk restoration plans, as well as actions identified in the Somenos Marsh Management Plan.
In addition, the partners will also cooperatively work to maintain and manage Ye'yumnuts, an archaeological heritage site that was a village and burial ground at Somenos Creek. Specifically, the plan is to develop interpretive and educational materials to further knowledge and understanding of the historical and present day significance of the area.
William Seymour, chief of Cowichan Tribes, said the First Nation is happy to see the partners work together to restore and preserve the land back to its natural state because it's important to keep its ecological value intact.
"It will be a great gathering space where the community can come and be educated on the history of this area, including our villages Kwa'mutsun and S'amunu that used to inhabit this land, as well as learn about the vegetation and wildlife that thrive at Somenos Marsh," Seymour said.
Paul Fletcher, from the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society, which is a steward of the marsh, said the creation of the partnership is good news for the marsh and the community.
"It will encourage stewardship and community involvement in the area," he said.
Doug Donaldson, the minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, said the government is happy to be working together with Cowichan Tribes and conservation groups on developing the proposed wildlife management area that will conserve important environmental and cultural values.


Flight Fuel is unique in providing the most important multiple co-factors which are essential to the maximum release of sustained power in the racing pigeon. FLIGHT FUEL contains five essential co-factors to the "energy pathway". Each of these act almost like "spark plugs" along the energy chain, ensuring it keeps moving at an optimum rate.It would be very often pointless to try to improve energy efficiency and hence performance by targeting one particular point in the chain, as all that will happen is that an additional deficiency somewhere else in the chain will then become the limiting factor.

Request A Delivery Become a Customer
Find out about our long history
Our propane business is just one of the many products and services the Collett family has provided the residents and businesses of Southwestern Ohio for nearly 75 years. Read below to find out how we originally expanded into the propane business, providing cost-effective, energy efficient clean energy and safe energy to homes, businesses, and farms across Southwestern Ohio.
Since 1952, Collett Propane, Inc., a family owned and operated business has been delivering propane gas throughout Southwestern Ohio. We offer competitive priced propane with safe, dedicated and reliable customer service staff. Collett Propane is committed to improving and enhancing the communities within which we operate.
Collett Hardware Store: The early years
Collett Propane's roots extend back to 1919. That was the year Bob Collett founded Collett Hardware in the small farming community of New Burlington, Ohio. Having just returned from service in World War I, Bob sensed the store would be successful due to its central location between the towns of Xenia and Wilmington; Bob's instincts were right! Customers came from miles around not only out of convenience, but also because of Bob's commitment to service.
People counted on Collett Hardware for its abundant inventory and expert advice. The store was also a popular gathering place where the locals shared news and socialized. This is where Bob's son, Don, spent much of his time growing up. The family store instilled in Don an appreciation for working hard to please customers. Years later, that lesson proved valuable when Don co-founded Collett Propane with his brother Chuck.
The old hardware store and New Burlington are a distant memory now. In 1972, Collett Hardware relocated to Rt. 73 near the intersection of I-71. (The propane business continues to operate there.) Shortly after the move, the Army Corps of Engineers flooded the valley where New Burlington was nestled, creating Caesar Creek Lake and State Park.

Propane becomes a popular energy source
In 1952, the Ohio highway department closed Rt. 42 for repairs. For a while, traffic was routed through New Burlington past Collett Hardware. A traveling propane distributor noticed the store and stopped in. He chatted with Don who believed that selling propane would be an excellent business move due to the growing popularity of the fuel.
Soon after, Don and his brother Chuck formed a partnership in the propane business, initially offering 100 lb. cylinders. Their first delivery was the day before Thanksgiving, 1952. Propane was generally used in cook stoves back then, replacing kerosene and gasoline because of its safety and cleanliness. Not surprisingly, the Collett brothers' propane business grew steadily with the popularity of the fuel, and as their reputation spread for excellent customer service.
During the 1960s, demand for propane swelled as it replaced coal and fuel oil for home heating. It was also popular on farms for drying grain. In fact, during the late '60s and early '70s, the bulk of propane Collett sold was for grain drying. Over time, residential use again became the majority of Collett's business. Propane's energy efficiency, cost effectiveness, portability and cleanliness were largely responsible for its wide-spread acceptance.
In 1982, Jane Collett (Newton), Don's daughter, joined the company after earning a business degree from Wright State University. Three years later, a second Collett Propane plant and office was established in the Xenia Industrial Park to improve distribution in that region. In 2005 Collett Propane added their third location just south of Lebanon, OH.
Growing to meet the needs of our customers
Today, Collett Propane is a respected, full service propane distributor primarily serving Greene, Clinton and Warren counties. Every year, larger portions of Montgomery, Clark, Fayette, Highland and Madison counties are being serviced by us. The growth of our company is paralleling the expanding population in these rural regions of Southwest Ohio.
As we grow, our dedication to the highest level of professional service remains the same. Currently, Collett Propane has over 7,000 customers. Approximately 80% are residential accounts. The rest are commercial, industrial or agricultural customers. Propane energy is expected to make significant contributions to society in the coming decades.
Already, super high-efficiency propane appliances are available and other applications, like powering trucks and school buses, assure a growing demand for many years to come. As technology changes, we will continue to evolve our operations to match our customer requirements.
Since 1952, our propane operations have remained in the family, despite the industry trend of take-overs and mergers. Truly, we enjoy the personal involvement that our family-owned business offers. We work hard to assure every customer the same high quality, friendly service we've been known for since the very beginning. We promise every customer the highest level of reliability, safety and sensitivity to their needs. It's been that way since 1952 and we don't want to change our formula for success.

A take a look at Chicago's Willis Tower, one among the most iconic workplace buildings in the United States, opens a dialog about broader points round the place work comes into being and modifications over time.
Work Design is all about the locations we work, how they perform, and what elements go into the planning and design of profitable workplaces. We have now checked out this from many various angles, together with our Professional Perception, CEO speak articles and our collection of occasions and panel discussions. Circling all the elements of how and the place we work, we needed to broaden the dialog about the place we determine to work and what sort of selections are made round the cities and buildings that home the locations we speak about.
The office isn't just about the actual property choice, but the location is the very first thing an organization chooses when deciding to start out a enterprise, open an workplace, or relocate an present bodily location. It's maybe one among the most crucial selections any enterprise faces. A pitch to write down about the re-positioning of one in every of the most iconic workplace buildings in the United States, The Willis Tower, acquired us desirous about alternate methods to debate the broader points round the place work comes into being and modifications over time. This story opens our dialogue about the office generally and maybe provides us a much bigger image of Work Design and much more to speak about.
When you have by no means been to Chicago or seen the constructing, take a look at this video.
First a little bit of historical past. At 110 tales, the Willis Tower was initially often known as the Sears Tower. Accomplished in 1974 it was the company headquarters of Sears Roebuck and Firm, then the largest retailer in the world and was the tallest constructing in America. The tower took three years to construct. Skyscraper and development geeks can watch the number of movies with extra info on the historical past and development of the constructing posted at the finish of this text.
What could also be of curiosity to our readers, is that Sears contracted New York inside design agency SLS Evironetics to do the unique programming and planning for the four.four million SF constructing, even earlier than the constructing architects have been retained. In the late sixties, this was one in every of the first tasks to be designed using computer-aided design. These preliminary research included questionnaires submitted by all Sears departments, to find out how a lot area every would wish. The analysis additionally confirmed how a lot area would instantly be required upon the constructing completion and projected how a lot can be required over an anticipated progress interval of thirty years. Wanting again at the historic info on how the constructing was conceived and constructed to satisfy the corporations projected wants for workspace might conceivably be thought-about forward of its time regarding the planning and programming course of. As soon as Sears administration had all the knowledge from planning research, they retained Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The design group was led by Bruce Graham with Fazlur Khan as a structural engineer.
Mockingly, Sears projections and expectations didn't meet actuality, and they by no means absolutely occupied the constructing, and in the early 1990's left the property solely relocating the headquarters once more to suburban Chicago. The constructing weathered modifications in possession a number of re-recapitalizations as the market modified, competitors elevated, tenant profiles and calls for modified. The tides modified significantly after present proprietor, Blackstone with Fairness Workplace initiated vital renovations and the constructing was renamed Willis Tower in 2009 after the Willis Group Holdings, the international insurance coverage dealer with their Midwest headquarters situated in the constructing.
What higher solution to discover out what is occurring now, than to go to the Willis Tower, in Chicago, IL. We lately had the alternative to satisfy with David Moore, Senior Vice President at Fairness Workplace who's main the effort to revitalize this landmark constructing.
Work Design sat down with David in one among the new amenity areas on the 33rd flooring mid-morning on a ravishing sunny day. All the flooring has been re-imagined as certainly one of two full flooring tenant amenity areas. Even at that hour, the area was busy, however we discovered a quiet spot to have our dialog.
We're seeing a whole lot of constructing re-positionings and improve tasks. Resulting from the measurement, scale and iconic nature of the Willis Tower, what are the driving forces behind Fairness's technique in work accomplished and presently underway?
The deliberate $500M funding scales with the measurement and significance of the constructing in the Chicago group. It was constructed at a time when the idea of workplace buildings was very totally different from what it's right now. The constructing was designed for a single tenant, solely to help its enterprise. The constructing has gone via a number of iterations and house owners over the previous 40 years. Blackstone (the house owners) needed to replace the constructing to satisfy the necessities for workspace as it's evolving in right now's present market.
Market circumstances and the panorama of the Loop has modified significantly over the final a number of years. For getting older constructing house owners, there's all the time the strain to stay aggressive and absolutely leased. With the addition of latest buildings, re-purposing a number of older buildings into residential or lodge area, and growing tourism alternatives, it was time to take a look at the place Willis Tower might match into and add to the revitalization of the neighborhood.
What are the foremost options of the deliberate renewal tasks?
We checked out how the constructing pertains to the fast environment. As initially designed, the constructing was a fortress. It was not open or referring to the surrounding neighborhood.
Ranging from the road degree, the over-riding design aim of the renovation was to open the constructing as much as the neighborhood, to be extra inviting and dynamic. Partaking the passer-by, the tenant, the vacationer, with what's going on in the constructing will create a livelier and extra open surroundings. Having extra choices for eating, leisure, and purchasing advantages not solely the tenants however the complete neighborhood. This stretch of Wacker Drive has lacked the power of different areas of the enterprise district. Additionally, the proximity to the improvement, each residential and business, in the adjoining West Loop simply expands the choices for everybody.
Study extra info on the renewal tasks right here.
What about the tenant expertise? How have you ever deliberate to reinforce that?
As you possibly can see from the exercise in the Tower Home this morning – the tenant expertise was paramount in our issues. Tenants usually are not simply wanting for their leased area however are taking a extra crucial take a look at what different facilities can be found in the buildings they select for their workplaces. The place newer buildings have these areas constructed into their program from the begin, these of us with portfolios of older buildings want to determine learn how to combine these areas into the present constructing envelope. Fortuitously, Willis Tower provided a number of choices for us to create state of the artwork amenities for our tenants to take pleasure in. We've accomplished the 33rd-floor upgrades, which embrace our present location, The Tower Home, The Metal Room, an occasion area obtainable by reservation, and Tone, a 30,000SF health facility.
Talking of tenants, how have they reacted to the modifications each deliberate and now accomplished?
We've got the benefit of excessive occupancy to start out out with, so the modifications have been very properly accepted by our present tenants. They're using the café/lounge areas all through the day. The health middle is doing properly.
To study a bit extra, from the tenant viewpoint we scheduled a while with Zackery Home, CEO of Environmental Methods Design, Inc. (ESD), a worldwide engineering agency that relocated to the 53rd and 54th flooring of the Willis Tower in April 2017.
What prompted your transfer to the Willis Tower?
We began wanting for new area a few yr previous to our transfer. We needed to seek out area to accommodate our rising (at present 280 staff) workforce at our headquarters, right here in Chicago. It was time to offer a workspace that was extra conducive to the approach we work now and present a greater setting for our individuals. We additionally should contemplate how our workplace area impacts our means to recruit and retain expertise.
How did you choose the Willis Tower?
There have been a number of differentiating elements. First, we've a long-standing relationship with Fairness Workplace, not solely as a tenant, however they're additionally a shopper. We have been additionally impressed with the efforts in the works to reposition the constructing. That was a recreation changer, from the added facilities to the bodily enhancements, which can enhance the work surroundings for our staff and be engaging to potential staff. Additionally, the area itself on the 53rd and 54th flooring, provides panoramic views of Chicago and its setting. Shifting from a 14th flooring area, a block away, to an area in an iconic, architecturally distinctive constructing, allowed us to create an surroundings to foster innovation and turn out to be a dwelling lab that showcases what we do, every day.
What sort of modifications with the employees, have you ever noticed, since relocating?
We see much more collaboration amongst the engineers. We created a extra open plan and see elevated interplay, and a extra constructive angle about coming to work. Having everybody collectively in the area has made fairly a distinction. We put a big quantity of effort in maintaining staff knowledgeable about the transfer and the new area and that translated right into a extra seamless integration into the workplace. We had a number of city halls, shared updates on the design and construct out progress, and scheduled off-site conferences in the constructing so individuals might expertise the facilities prematurely of the transfer.
How is your organization profiting from the constructing facilities?
We reimburse our staff for their membership at Tone, the in-house health club facility. That may be a drastically appreciated profit, not solely to current to potential staff, however can also be good for our staff' well-being to have prepared entry to a fantastic work-out facility that's handy to their work place. We have now additionally utilized the assembly area out there at Tower Home, particularly for our company all-hands conferences and city halls. We now have all the time used the Metropolitan Membership for catering, and have discovered that having the assembly features in the constructing definitely makes it straightforward to plan and schedule occasions in instant proximity to our workplaces.
General, how has the transfer to new area affected your enterprise?
The transfer has introduced numerous power again into our 50-year previous agency. The rejuvenation has helped us re-focus on how we work and ship to our shoppers. Being in an iconic Chicago constructing that can also be a marvel of design and engineering reminds us that what we do on a regular basis to advance the constructed surroundings evokes us to maneuver ahead and take into consideration future prospects.
How are you going about engaging new tenants to the constructing?
In fact, the deliberate and accomplished amenity areas converse for themselves. Potential tenants can see the renewed power of the shared areas and how they will improve the work expertise. We've got additionally constructed out speculative suites to assist individuals envision how our area might be constructed out to satisfy their wants. Two of our spec suites have been leased, with the tenants buying the furnishings, permitting them to accumulate move- in prepared area.
Let's return to the public areas and the deliberate enhancements there. In addition to opening the foyer areas to the road, what else will we see when all the work is accomplished?
The Skydeck and Ledge is certainly one of the hottest vacationer points of interest in Chicago and is a catalyst for lots of the deliberate modifications to the improve of the constructing's public areas. We need to create extra "destination" locations in the constructing to reinforce the expertise of the Skydeck and the Ledge. The 103rd-floor attraction brings greater than 1.7 million guests yearly. Increasing different eating, purchasing and leisure alternatives in the constructing will increase the viability of the constructing not solely to the tenants however the surrounding neighborhood and metropolis.
Different vital enhancements are deliberate for the constructing lobbies, to create extra dynamic, interactive areas and entry to eating and retail alternatives. A big enterprise that's beginning in June is the full refurbishment of all 83 elevators and 97 passenger cabs. Together with their respective machine rooms, motors, cables, and controls as a part of the bigger renovation venture. The deliberate improve will make the most of the Otis The CompassPlus system which organizes visitors stream and supplies a customized passenger expertise — sorting passengers into every elevator based mostly on their locations to get individuals the place they're going considerably quicker than typical dispatching methods.
The area competed thus far – we will see is already energizing the constructing. Will probably be fascinating to see the accomplished work. When do you anticipate all the things to be completed?
As soon as the renovations are full, they may add greater than 300,000 sq. ft of latest retail, eating and leisure area at the base of the tower, 150,000 sq. ft of latest tenant amenity area, and 30,000 square-foot outside decks and backyard.

Employee Advocacy for Nonemployee, Unpaid Interns Is Not Protected by National Labor Relations Act
By Catherine A. Cano, Laura A. Pierson-Scheinberg, Howard M. Bloom & Philip B. Rosen on December 3, 2019
Unpaid interns are not "employees" as defined by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and employee advocacy on their behalf is not protected concerted activity under Section 7 of the NLRA, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled. Amnesty International of the USA, Inc., 368 NLRB No. 112 (Nov. 12, 2019).
The NLRB also concluded the employer's expression of frustration and disappointment with its employees' actions on behalf of the interns was not an unlawful implied threat.
Amnesty International is a nonprofit advocacy organization that typically hires 15 unpaid interns to volunteer each academic semester.
In February 2018, a group of interns, assisted by an employee, circulated a petition requesting the organization pay them for their volunteer work. Nearly all the organization's employees signed the petition. At the same time, the organization's executive team was considering a paid intern program with only three interns.
On April 2, 2018, unaware of the unpaid intern's petition, the Executive Director of the organization shared the organization's plans for a paid internship program during an employee meeting. The unpaid interns sent their petition to the Executive Director the next day.
On April 9, 2018, the Executive Director held separate meetings with the current interns and the employees who signed the petition to announce plans to implement the paid internships that fall. The employees reacted negatively and expressed concern about the reduced number of interns. The Executive Director stated that she was disappointed the employees did not take advantage of the organization's open-door policy to discuss the matter with management before using a petition. The Executive Director also stated that she viewed the petition as adversarial and felt it threatened litigation.
On May 9, 2018, the employee who assisted the unpaid interns with their petition met privately with the Executive Director. The employee recorded the conversation. The Executive Director stated she was "very embarrassed" that her employees felt unable to approach her about the issue and "disappointed that she did not 'have the kind of relationship with staff' that she thought she had." The Executive Director said that it would have been "really helpful" to know about the intern's interest in paid internships in advance and that the employee could have told the interns to "give me a heads-up to let me know it's coming." The Executive Director indicated that a petition "sets off a more adversarial relationship" and is not effective when the demand could "be met without applying that pressure." She further stated, "you could try talking to us before you do another petition."
Administrative Law Judge Decision
After a trial, ALJ Michael A. Rosas held that the employees had engaged in protected activity under Section 7 of the NLRA by joining the interns' petition. He also determined the organization violated Section 8(a)(1) of the NLRA by: (1) instructing employees to make complaints orally before making them in writing; (2) threatening unspecified reprisals because of the employees' protected concerted activity; (3) equating protected concerted activity with disloyalty; and (4) requesting employees to report to management other employees who are engaging in protected concerted activity. He dismissed the allegation that the Executive Director's statements "impliedly threatened to increase employees' workloads as a result of the petition."
NLRB Decision
The NLRB reversed the ALJ's conclusions and dismissed the complaint.
Holding that "[a]ctivity advocating only for nonemployees is not for 'other mutual aid or protection' within the meaning of Section 7," the NLRB reasoned that the unpaid interns were not employees because they did not "receive or anticipate any economic compensation from [Amnesty International]."
The NLRB also held that the Executive Director's statements did not coerce the employees. It concluded the Executive Director's statements fell within Section 8(c) of the NLRA, which permits employers to express views, arguments, or opinions that are not accompanied by coercion (e.g., threats or promises of benefits). Considering the timing of the petition and the employees' reaction, the NLRB determined that the Executive Director's "opinions about how to handle petitions in the future to be, at most, suggestions, rather than commands or even direct requests." Her statements "clearly expressed her frustration that, as a result of the lack of communication, management's attempt to provide a positive response to the … petition had instead resulted in a backlash from employees." However, the comments did not rise to the level of conveying anger, threaten reprisal, or accuse the employees of disloyalty, the NLRB ruled. Therefore, it concluded they did not violate Section 8(a)(1) of the NLRA.
The NLRB has been signaling a hesitancy to impose obligations on employers outside the traditional employment context. It has proposed exempting paid undergraduate and graduate students from the NLRA, for example. Over the last several years, as employers are forced by the low employment rate to increase their use of nonemployees, unions have increased their efforts to expand the NLRA's reach by organizing non-traditional workers, including temporary campaign workers and graduate students.

My jdeveloper was hanging on this portion of a new integrated weblogic start.
Module /portalTools/builder of application portalTools [Version=11.1.1.4.0] is transitioning from STATE_NEW to STATE_PREPARED on server DefaultServer.
So I left it overnight and if finally deploy successfully and now everything is working ok.


Is this possible: USB Modem> SPBM Bridge> Ethernet or Wireless NIC> Switch or Access point ?
All I need to do is equal shares to my USB Modem Internet with my family through my laptop acting as SPBM Bridge.
It depends. If the USB modem is seen as an Ethernet device, then you can bridge it with another Ethernet card.
Otherwise, bridging wouldn't work and you can use the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) instead. The ICS is a built-in Windows service described here.
And about ICS let me say that I have another pc with two NIC instead of my laptop and connect the USB modem, do you mean that I can share the internet with one of Ethernet acting as external network and after that make a bridge with the other Ethernet acting as internal network?
In this case, the switch/AP would be connected to an Ethernet NIC. The Internet is available to anything connected to the switch/AP, while Bandwidth Manager filters all communications between those devices and the modem.
Could you please give me an example of the rule that sharing the internet to IP range upload and download ?
I can give a rule example, but it's important to understand that rules don't do any routing or NAT. In other words, the software is merely a traffic filter and rules should only be created after the Internet is working, for example through the ICS.
Though I'd like to stress it again: rules should be created after the Internet access is already available to the LAN devices.
Now every device connected to the AP has internet access, but the problem is when I installed SPBM and make the rule above can't control the traffic. Is there any rule or specific configuration to make this work?
Test if the rule has any traffic flowing through it. If it does, you can then proceed with defining bandwidth restrictions for your clients. If it doesn't, probably Connectify captures traffic before it reaches BM, in which case I am afraid there may be no solution.

Ambassador reflects on Swiss-Turkish relations
Foreign ministers Calmy-Rey and Gül meeting in Ankara in March Keystone
Ahead of a visit by Turkish parliamentarians to Switzerland, Ankara's ambassador in Bern, Alev Kiliç, spoke to swissinfo about relations between the two countries.
Thomas Stephens
Born in London, Thomas was a journalist at The Independent before moving to Bern in 2005. He speaks three official Swiss languages and enjoys travelling the country and practising them, above all in pubs, restaurants and gelaterias.
More from this author | English Department
The foreign affairs committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly begins a weeklong visit to Switzerland on Monday.
"Swiss-Turkish relations have always been characterised by a good mutual understanding," Kiliç says with unsurprising diplomacy.
"Switzerland plays a very prominent role in Turkish history – the treaty establishing Turkey as a republic was signed in Lausanne in 1923 – so we've enjoyed diplomatic relations for 80 years or so."
Five Turkish politicians are paying a reciprocal visit to Switzerland, following a trip by a Swiss foreign affairs committee to Turkey last year.
Such visits, says Kiliç, "lead to a better understanding on a people-to-people level because the parliamentarians reflect public sentiments and when they return home they relay their impressions to their constituencies".
The ambassador says economic relations have always been a strong aspect of the countries' bilateral relations. "Foreign minister Calmy-Rey's visit to Ankara a few months ago was seen on both sides as a gate opener for further deepening of relations.
"We're now working on a visit of the economics minister, Mr Deiss, to Turkey as early as this autumn," he says.
Armenian question
Inevitably talk of Swiss-Turkish relations turns to the "Armenian question", namely disagreement over whether the massacre of 1915-18 constituted genocide. Armenians say the Ottoman Empire murdered 1,800,000 of their people; the Turks the numbers were much less and put the emphasis on the killings on both sides.
The general pattern is just as everything seems to be going well – agreements on imports and exports, for example – something happens regarding the Armenian issue that undoes all the good diplomatic work.
When canton Vaud's parliament voted to recognise the Armenian massacre as genocide, Ankara withdrew an invitation to Micheline Calmy-Rey to visit Turkey in September 2003.
A similar vote by the House of Representatives three months later drew fresh condemnation from Turkey.
"Yes, [the Armenian situation] has left a bitter taste at a certain point in our relations," Kiliç admits. "But we would like to clear this once and for all by establishing a commission of historians from both sides and opening all files and archives."
Kiliç says during Calmy-Rey's visit to Turkey in March, the Turkish foreign minister Abdullah Gül told the Swiss about such a commission and they showed interest.
"I think the Swiss agree with this approach and understand this difficulty. Again, we are on a ground of mutual understanding on this.
"But of course the proposal has also been made to the Armenian government and we can't establish anything without their agreement. We have still not received a positive reply."
Turkey's main priority in Europe is accession talks with the European Union. So does Kiliç think Ankara's new friends in Brussels will mean less time for old friends in Bern?
Kiliç sees plenty of room for closer relations between Bern and Ankara. "I've been here about six months and my view [is] that we haven't been able to exploit our potential fully.
"The main challenge now in Swiss-Turkish relations is how to fully tap that potential – then we can look back and regret why we didn't do it sooner!"
swissinfo, Thomas Stephens
The treaty marking the birth of modern Turkey was signed in Lausanne on July 24, 1923.
Armenians say 1.8 million of their people were killed or deported from 1915-18 by the Ottoman Empire.
Turkey disputes this, saying the numbers were much less and there were killings on both sides.
In 2004, Swiss exports to Turkey were worth SFr1.9 billion ($1.5 billion), 17% more than in 2003.
Turkey is set to start accession talks with the European Union on October 3 – the negotiations are expected to take ten years.

NOTE: This is a guest post by Garrett Honeycutt of LearnPuppet. As mentioned in an earlier post, we've been working with Garrett and his team to enhance the Sensu module for Puppet. This collaboration has brought the module to parity with other supported CM systems and full feature support for Sensu Enterprise.
This post will describe how to use Puppet to manage your Sensu systems. It assumes you have a little familiarity with Puppet and none with Sensu. The examples use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (EL7) as the platform.
Sensu is a highly flexible monitoring framework, supporting both status checks and metrics collection. Its combination of flexibility and sane defaults provides 95% of your monitoring strategy out of the box, freeing you to focus on the 5% that's unique to your infrastructure and organization. Sensu is compatible with the Nagios Plugin API, allowing users to easily migrate their legacy monitoring plugins and borrow from the tremendous ecosystem of open source monitoring checks.
Sensu's architecture decouples servers and clients in a way that accommodates infrastructures of all shapes and sizes. But, whether your environment is highly dynamic, static, or somewhere in between, deploying Sensu requires consistent and reliable configuration management to ensure clients and servers behave as expected.
As such, Sensu's relationship with configuration management tools like Puppet is an essential one. The Sensu Puppet module provides the classes and types you need to integrate Sensu into your custom classes or roles.
We are very excited to have achieved Partner status with this module. This means the quality of this project is considered higher than those with Approved status, and on par with Supported modules. This was the culmination of a broad effort to deliver a better experience for the combined Puppet and Sensu community.
The module uses Puppet strings to generate documentation from the code. Check out the module class list to see the available parameters and their data types.
The easiest way to demo Sensu is to use our Vagrant sandbox. For this you need to install Vagrant and VirtualBox.
Vagrant will start two virtual machines, sensu-server and el7-client.
With these services running and exposed by Vagrant, we're free to experiment with a fully functional Sensu stack. By manipulating the test fixtures in this module, or the using vagrant ssh to log into these virtual machines manually, you can configure checks, filters, mutators and handlers in this sandbox environment and observe the results via the Uchiwa dashboard or the Sensu API itself.
Once you've had a chance to experiment with Sensu via the Vagrant sandbox, you're ready to deploy Sensu for monitoring your Puppet-managed infrastructure. To get started, install the module along with it's dependencies on your master Puppet server. Don't worry if your versions are different.
Next you'll want to install the EPEL repository.
Install RabbitMQ, which the module will use to communicate with all Sensu nodes.
Add a node entry for the server. This is also available as a Gist here. If using a multihomed system and the interface you connect to the sensu-server is not the same IP as returned by the ipaddress fact, you may need to specify client_address on line 51 with the IP address of a different interface.
# replace `sensu-server.example.com` with the FQDN of the system.
# however they can only authenticate from localhost.
# be created in the rabbitmq.sh script.
Finally, run puppet on the Sensu server to apply our manifest.
As mentioned earlier, Sensu servers and clients use RabbitMQ as a message bus. Setting up RabbitMQ is beyond the scope of the Sensu puppet module, so please see the RabbitMQ module documentation for details on it's usage.
Once RabbitMQ has been configured, you can check out its dashboard to verify that clients have connected. The RabbitMQ dashboard for our vagrant setup can be found at http://localhost:15672 (username sensu, password correct-horse-battery-staple).
Sensu's RESTful API is now exposed on tcp port 4567. It provides access to monitoring data collected by Sensu, such as a client registry, check results, and event data. The API can be used to request adhoc check executions, and resolve events, among other things.
Check out the documentation at https://sensuapp.org/docs/latest/api/ for a comprehensive reference and examples for using the Sensu API.
The following command will query the API to retrieve the list of known clients. If you're not using the aforementioned Vagrant setup, replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address or name of the Sensu server.
Which results in the following JSON output.
The Uchiwa dashboard displays information for all Sensu clients, checks, events, and more. The web interface in our vagrant setup can be found at http://localhost:3000 (username uchiwa, password uchiwa).
The following snippet can be used on each additional node that you want to register with Sensu. Once this is applied to a node you should begin seeing the client appear in the API clients output and in your Uchiwa dashboard.
Introducing Sensu to your existing Puppet-managed infrastructure is a quick and easy way to increase the visibility into your automated architecture. And because Sensu is first and foremost a monitoring framework, you can easily extend it to support your business as it grows and your needs evolve.
If you have any questions about using Sensu with Puppet, join us in the Sensu Community Slack and ask me anything in the #puppet channel!
Garrett Honeycutt has been using Puppet for 10 years, consulting and training companies of all sizes around the globe. He runs LearnPuppet, a company focused on automation and specializing in Puppet consulting, training and implementing CI/CD and other DevOps practices. He also provides support for the Sensu puppet module.

DRIVER San Francisco Review

Review of: DRIVER San Francisco Review
Chad Goodmurphy
Reviewed by: Chad Goodmurphy
Last modified:December 17, 2013
DRIVER San Francisco features an interesting storyline, plus some addictive and action packed gameplay. Its new shift feature gives the racing genre a much needed creative boost too, adding in a lot of unique flair.
Take a buddy cop drama, throw in a couple of ounces of revenge and then stir it all up with a hint of surreality and you'll have DRIVER San Francisco. The latest release from Ubisoft, developed in-house at its Reflections studio, is a game that shakes up the racing genre quite a bit. Instead of being limited to one car, Detective John Tanner is able to become the eye over the city, after a severe car accident puts him into a coma.
What this new dream state brings about is the game's star shifting mechanic, which lets players jump from vehicle to vehicle, adding a game changing mechanic into a genre which needed a bit of a boost. It's a fun new addition which really amps up the chaos, bringing with it some new ways to complete traditional driving game objectives accompanied by new types of challenges.
DRIVER San Francisco starts off with a bang and never takes its foot off of the pedal until its explosive conclusion, always turning the proverbial knob up to eleven or twelve. It follows our aforementioned comatose detective as he tries to find out what his arch-nemesis (an escaped convict) is up to. You see, the aforementioned prisoner who goes by the name of Jericho, was locked up.
The streets were safe and everything seemed to be okay. However, it's not a good idea to get too complacent, especially if you're the lead character in a cop drama or video game. As one would expect, something happens as the baddie is being transferred to court, becoming a free man thanks to an unknown ally and the use of an acid popper hidden inside of his mouth.
In true genre fashion, the next set of events sees the escaped threat doing his best to outrun the cops, causing carnage in his way. Our favourite detective and his partner are right behind him, though things don't go as planned. Instead of stopping the escape attempt thus putting an evil man behind bars once again, the three main characters are involved in a terrible car accident.
Detective Tanner is rushed away to the local hospital by speeding ambulance, with everyone around him fearing for his life. It's unknown as to whether or not he'll ever wake up from the severe coma he's slipped into. Thus begins the strange adventure into a dreamlike state, where our hero is unknowingly working in a comatose sleep. You'd think he'd click in when he first notices his new god-like ability to switch to an aerial view showing all of San Francisco, which then allows him to drop down into any car in sight. However, he's just not thinking that way, with a mind focused on only one thing: bringing Jericho to justice once again.
The entire story is structured like a buddy cop film, as the two detectives check out leads, pursue targets and piece together a detailed case around what they discover. What their arch nemesis is up to is a mystery. It seems like he has allied with some nasty characters, who are more than willing to do the dirty work, stealing some dangerous materials without fear of the law. Why though? That's up to the player to piece together and find out through some badass driving surrounded by some explosive car chases, high speed tails and gnarly drifts. Once the seatbelt is buckled and the engine has purred to life, the streets become a dangerous alleyway full of high speed adrenaline and tons of exhaust.
At its core, DRIVER San Francisco is an open-world arcade racing game, though it doesn't always focus on the fight for first place. There are quite a few of those sprinkled in throughout the storyline and within some of the side activities, but chases, tails and bumper car stoppages are much more in-style here.
Think of it as a mixture of Burnout and Need For Speed, borrowing hints of the visceral and over-the-top action (plus crashes) from the former, then mixing it in with the high-speed, insanely high intensity chase gameplay from the latter. That happens to be the best way I can think of to describe what is one of the most action-packed racing games I've ever played. If you're looking for an eight hour long adrenaline rush, then this is your fix. Of course, that amount of gameplay time can balloon if one feels like playing through the 100+ additional challenges, dares and activities.
To best way to explain the new shift mechanic would be to say that the game has a possession mechanic. As the story moves forward, Detective Tanner learns how to expand his vision further out into the clouds, eventually allowing for almost all of the game's titular city to be visible on-screen at one time. This is done by pushing the right joystick back, with the opposite motion giving players the ability to zoom the camera back toward land.
Looking from above is a lot like taking a look at an area using a satellite imaging system, or scanning an icon-filled world map from many other open-world titles. As per the usual, absolutely everything is visible. This includes story events and secondary missions, as well as garages containing inventory of cost efficient licensed vehicles, challenges and upgrades. Though, the main draw is certainly the fact that, for the first time, individual vehicles are visible from above.
Zooming in to take a look at the hilly landscape of one of America's most iconic cities, players can pick and choose from a large amount of real-life automotive contraptions, selecting the one which suits their current mood or need. Hovering over each moving vehicle will show its make as well as three different stats columns relating to speed, acceleration and strength. Once the optimal chassis is selected, the A button can be utilized to jump into its driver's seat, possessing the body of the person who was previously in mental and physical control.
This can be done at will, providing ample opportunity to use oncoming traffic as high impact chase stoppers, or the chance to turn them into screeching rockets with a powerful ram move. If your vehicle is damaged and there's need for a new one; just use the shift option to find something suitable. Now there's no need for fast travel, loading screens or slow-paced travel throughout the city in order to get to new challenges.
Early on in DRIVER San Francisco's story mode, it's explained that John Tanner only becomes the person in which he inhabits. There's no physical alteration or noticeable change. Due to that reason, he's able to jump into characters' bodies to help them out without their passengers noticing a thing. To unlock major story missions (of which there are usually two per each of the game's eight chapters,) digital professional racers must lend their help to some of the city's inhabitants. Several of these characters become a part of the storyline, though only in minor roles.
Their needs are always different, whether it be a high-speed trip to the hospital or help winning a perilous race where a loss means death at the hands of Jericho. Other times, it's the police who need help putting an end to a street race through car crunching collisions, or security workers who need to be kept safe until the police can arrive on scene. The side missions have a pretty good amount of variety; as do the game's assorted challenges and dares. The latter ask the player to perform stunts, such as long jumps, high-speed driving lines and lengthy drifts.
As with many of its fellow arcade racers, DRIVER San Francisco goes with a control approach which favours high-speed intensity over perfectly tuned finesse. The driving mechanics found within happen to be a bit more loose than what you'd expect to find in something like Gran Turismo and occasionally it's to the point of annoyance, as spin-outs occur a bit too often. I found that it was sometimes overly difficult to get out of a drift or avoid disaster during a high-speed turn; things which could have received a bit more fine tuning and polish.
Other than the occasional bits of frustration coming from those aforementioned issues, my inner speed demon had quite a good time tearing up and down the game's multitude of differently contoured streets. Fun, insane speed and electrifying chases outnumbered the frustrating moments by a high ratio, aided by the development team's smart idea to move the turbo mechanic to the left joystick. Pressing up to boost makes more sense than having to press a second button.
I found the single player storyline to be exciting and a lot of fun, though it unfortunately ended too soon with a conclusion that wasn't as amazing as I'd hoped. Luckily, there's a whole bunch of extra content found in the aforementioned additional challenges, as well as some unlockable movie-style ones. Plus, there's the opportunity to enter a basic editing suite where players can use quick cuts and cinematic camera angles to create the car chase movie sequence of their dreams. Several split-screen challenges are also available, in addition to a pretty robust multiplayer offering.
Gamers will discover that DRIVER San Francisco isn't just a fully-fledged and enjoyable single player experience. Its multiplayer options are nothing to scoff at. Included within are several different modes including more traditional ones such as races, team races and shift races. These are accompanied by cops versus robbers takedowns, capture the flag shenanigans and an attack/defense mode.
One of the more chaotic game types is referred to as trails, where several players jockey against each other to be the only one positioned right behind a pace car. Its trails give off points to those following close behind, with the winner being the one who gets to 100 first. It's an interesting and action-packed mode amongst many others – all of which happen to be pretty solid. I did notice a couple issues however, such as random disconnection and an instance of starting line lag.
In similar fashion to what the Call of Duty franchise offers, online drivers can unlock new power-ups and profile icons based on performance. A levelling system has been implemented to dole out unlockable awards based on experience points earned within each game type. Whether it's the previously mentioned icons, power-ups such as the ability to swap a vehicle with your favourite, or the option to stun enemy vehicles that get in your way, there's a decent amount of incentive to be found. In order to unlock some of the game modes, you must become a certain level. An online pass is required to unlock the entire mode, so keep that in mind.
One of the more impressive aspects of DRIVER San Francisco is its presentation. The buddy cop motif mixes well with the surreal aspects of the game's mechanics to create something quite interesting. The development team went with a bit of a 70's feel, with the use of some film grain and altered colour filters, which represent different moods, mission types and story events. I was quite pleased with the overall look of the game, though the impressively large and varied city landscape looked a bit too sterile, needing to be roughed up just a bit.
The game really pops in high-definition, especially during its cutscenes. Those displaying Detective Tanner and his partner were the most impressive, as their character models feature a stunning amount of detail, with some realistic facial animations. Jericho's character model was also quite well designed, with a good amount of visible detail and some nice animations, though his isn't as impressive looking as the aforementioned two. Unfortunately, a bit of immersion was lost when I noticed that the lip-syncing was off during a couple of the scenes. The issue was only noticeable during a certain couple of scenes, as the others seemed perfectly fine.
An eclectic mix of music, realistic car audio and some boisterous sound effects accompany voice acting which is well-above par. This is especially true when it comes to the two main characters. However, despite the audio being quite good in many ways, I found that the volume dropped off significantly when the title switched from gameplay to certain cutscenes. Sometimes, the volume actually needed to be turned up so that I could hear what was going on during the dialogue heavy CG scenes. When it would return to the game, the effects, voices and car noises would go back to their loud selves.
When DRIVER San Francisco was originally announced, I thought it looked and sounded like a pretty solid game. A title the type of which I would enjoy playing but would probably not be blown away by. Its new shift mechanic didn't make sense and seemed like it'd make things too easy. Having played the game for quite a bit of time now, I'm happy to admit that I was wrong.
This is a quality racing game, which brings a lot of new elements to the table which the genre needed. Its driving mechanics may not be the most finely tuned ones around, but that didn't bother me much. I was too caught up in its visceral action, impressive visuals, engaging storyline and abundance of content. Buckle your seatbelt because you're in for quite a ride. One that I certainly recommend taking.

Medical Marijuana Slowly Gains Ground
29 AUG 2003 - By Daniel DeNoon
Clinical Studies Begin to Replace Emotion with Evidence
By Daniel DeNoon
WebMD Medical News
Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
on Friday, August 29, 2003
A sea change in science is slowly turning the tide of the medical marijuana debate.
For hundreds of years, marijuana has been used to treat a wide variety of illnesses. But the herb has been illegal throughout the modern era of scientific medical research. Patients swear the drug works to relieve pain, prevent seizures, and counteract the nausea-inducing effects of cancer chemotherapy. But by today's standards, there's no definitive proof that this is so.
Why not? Nearly all U.S.-funded marijuana research has looked for harmful effects from using marijuana as a recreational drug. Meanwhile, there's been little money -- and huge regulatory hurdles -- for studies of marijuana's benefits. That's now changing despite the fact that marijuana remains classed as a Schedule I drug -- a dangerous compound with no medical uses.
Why now? Evidence is beginning to break down the wall of emotion preventing medical marijuana research.
Expert Panels, Breakthrough Findings
It was never clear exactly how marijuana -- which scientists call cannabis -- exerted its euphoria-inducing effects on the brain. Then, in the 1980s, a series of breakthrough studies showed that the body actually makes its own cannabis-like compounds -- cannabinoids.
Why are they there? That question led to the discovery that the body has an entire system based on cannabinoid signals. The signals seem to calm down overexcited nerve cells, says Igor Grant, MD, professor of psychiatry and director of the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) at the University of California, San Diego.
"It may be the cannabinoid systems -- this is a crude example -- but I think of them as our internal shock absorbers," Grant tells WebMD. "They are circuits that prevent overexcitability, kind of dampers. If that's correct, there are going to be a number of medical applications. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if there were applications for epilepsy and other types of seizures."
Grant isn't the only scientist excited by these possibilities.
In 1997, a National Institutes of Health expert panel concluded that more needs to be known about possible marijuana benefits. In 1999, the Institute of Medicine agreed. It pointed to several areas crying out for clinical marijuana research, notes CMCR co-director Andrew Mattison, PhD.
"There are cannabinoid receptor systems in the brain areas that regulate motion -- and, in retrospect, we know that people with multiple sclerosis and difficulty with spasticity sometimes use medicinal cannabis. That is one of the Institute of Medicine indications for clinical trials," Mattison tells WebMD.
"There is a cannabinoid receptor for pain, another site that modulates appetite -- there's going to be a wealth of basic science research that will hopefully have clinical and practical applications to many different medical indications."
Early Clinical Findings Support More Research
Although funded through 2003 and only at various University of California locations by the California state legislature, the CMCR has, by default, become the national clearinghouse for marijuana research.
The CMCR works closely with state and federal regulators - including the FDA, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (the only legal source of marijuana in the U.S.). CMCR provides funds for clinical trials of marijuana. It's won national praise for holding its investigators to the highest scientific standards.
Even before the CMCR was up and running, one stubborn researcher managed to launch a marijuana clinical trial. Donald Abrams, MD, now chief of hematology/oncology at San Francisco General Hospital, is best known for being one of the first doctors to recognize and treat the illness that came to be known as AIDS. AIDS patients have long used marijuana to fight the terrible wasting the disease causes. It's also been said to help an extremely painful condition known as peripheral neuropathy -- a painful nerve disease that has few effective treatments.
Abrams wanted to get federal approval to see whether marijuana really works for this condition. But years of effort proved futile in the face of opposition by federal agencies. Finally, Abrams had a brainstorm. Marijuana affects the immune system. It was just possible that the drug was making patients worse, not better. He submitted a research proposal to look for a harmful effect of marijuana -- and finally won the approval he sought.
The results of that trial appear in the August 19 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine. And they contradict previous studies done in the test tube and with lab animals.
"Much of the published work on marijuana and the immune system is focused on animals and in vitro studies," Abrams tells WebMD. "And, well, if you flood a lot of petri dishes with THC [the active ingredient in marijuana], the immune-cell cultures are going to do poorly.
"In our clinical trial we really didn't see any detriment to the immune system from smoking cannabis. Basically we saw no perturbation of HIV viral load, no detriment to the immune system, and no significant interaction with anti-HIV drugs."
With CMCR funds, Abrams is now doing his peripheral neuropathy study. And he's well on the way to launching a study to see whether adding marijuana to other pain drugs can give relief to dying cancer patients. Overall, the CMCR now has five full-fledged clinical trials under way, which will enroll some 450 patients.
Doctors' Shifting Attitudes on Medical Marijuana
In the last week of July 2003, Medscape -- WebMD's web site for medical professionals -- asked its members what they thought about medical marijuana. It wasn't a scientific poll, although a member's vote is counted only once. Still, the results were surprising. There was a huge response. Three out of four doctors -- and nine out of 10 nurses -- said they favored decriminalization of marijuana for medical uses.
Is it a real trend? Abrams thinks so, but warns that long-held attitudes are slow to change.
"I was pretty much the Lone Ranger of medical marijuana research a few years ago. But not now," he says. "Still, researchers are wary of marijuana research. They feel their reputation may be tainted. And they may be right. For several years I've been invited to do grand rounds at a local hospital in the Bay area. Last year they disinvited me, and I hear it was because of my marijuana research. I've been disinvited from other speaking engagements, too."
"I think these attitudes will change over time -- but it will be slow-going," Mattison says. "Dr. Abrams' comment is typical. People in the medical profession may chuckle at marijuana research and think it is not a bona fide area for scientific investigation. But that will change as the science becomes more clear and more understandable and there are, at some point, some practical applications."
One surprising source of support is moral encouragement from conservative politicians.
"We get a number of stories from elected officials who say, 'Look, I am not for legalization of marijuana. But my sick mother, relative, son, is using it and doing so much better, -- there must be something in it,'" Mattison says.
"A number of people have friends where medical therapies aren't working, and cannabis provided relief from spasticity, pain, nausea, or vomiting. That is turning some opinions and helping people let go of the stereotypical notion that medical marijuana is for potheads."
The CMCR has put aside enough money to complete all its currently approved clinical trials. But the California budget crisis means no more money this year -- at least. Does this mean that clinical research into medical marijuana is over? Grant doesn't think so.
"I think that even if our center runs on hard times, the ball has started rolling," he says. "Clinicians and neuroscientists have an interest in this. There is gong to be more research, and more clinical work, whether we do it or not. Eventually, I foresee NIH [National Institutes of Health] clinical trials. That's my hunch."
What's changing is the attitude toward investigating possible marijuana benefits. This means more and more doctors are keeping an open mind -- not jumping to the conclusion that the drug will be all things to all people.
"I don't know what the answers will be," Grant says. "The data that are out there suggest there will be some positive applications for marijuana. If I had to bet, I'd say there will be some applications useful for patients in the future."
But, he warns, the opposite could easily be true. The one sure thing about medical research is that it doesn't always provide the answers people expect.
"The caution is that, in the movement toward making marijuana available to patients with no other treatment options, there is the assumption that it is in fact useful. We have to be careful about that," Grant says. "It may be useful for some things, but not useful for others. And if patients take things that are not useful, they may be harming themselves. I urge them to be cautious instead of jumping on the bandwagon and maybe hurting themselves."

In this week's parasha, the Torah reminds us of the importance of the mitzvot. God, through Moses, instructs us saying, "Sh'marta ve asita otam" – "You shall keep them and do them." Rabbi Yochanan, a rabbi of the Midrash, noticed the apparent redundancy – the Torah says "keep" and "do" them. If we need both words, there must be two actions being referred to. What's the difference between "keep" and "do"?
Rabbi Yochanan realized that the Hebrew word "asita" not only means "you shall do," it can also be translated as "you shall make." Therefore, he interpreted the verse in a surprising and important way. The Torah is hinting that if we "keep" a mitzvah properly, this is tantamount to "making" it – actually creating that mitzvah, and the one who does this gets the credit as if he or she actually commanded it.
This is a strange midrash. Usually, people do mitzvot because they believe, and want to believe, that God commanded them. Why would Rabbi Yochanan interpret this verse to mean that doing a mitzvah is like creating it yourself?
The answer lies in his words, "doing a mitzvah properly." Doing a mitzvah "properly" in this context means implementing it in a way that is fair and reasonable; as opposed to literal. One who does a mitzvah literally, does the mitzvah as created by God. But the one who does the mitzvah, taking into account justice and common sense, may end up doing the mitzvah very differently – and therefore it is possible to claim that this mitzvah, done properly by this person, was in a sense "created" by that person.

Q: Ionic-Customizing Ionic titile with CSS is not working I have made a code to customize ionic title.
HTML

    <ion-view title="Welcome to my App">
    <ion-view>

CSS
.styTitle ion-view title {
    font-size: 160%;
    text-align: center;
    color: white;
    font-family: verdana;
    margin-top: 11px;

}

On rendering on the emulator no visible changes is applied on the title.
What could be wrong?
Thanks

A: This is the standard way of customizing ionic title,
HTML
<ion-view>
    <ion-nav-title>
        Welcome to my App
    </ion-nav-title>
</ion-view>

CSS
.styTitle {
    font-size: 160%;
    text-align: center;
    color: white;
    font-family: verdana;
    margin-top: 11px;
}

A: First, your css selector is wrong (.styTitle ion-view).
Anyway that selector won't get you the title, you should try:
ion-header-bar .title
