Q: WebComponent Layout is in reverse order Can anyone help me to understand why this layout is being rendered?

customElements.define(

  class myresume extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
      super();
      let h1 = document.createElement("h1");
      h1.textContent="My Resume Name";
      this.appendChild(h1);
    }
  }
);

customElements.define(
  "job-experience",
  class jobexperience extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
      super();
      let h1 = document.createElement("h1");
      h1.textContent="Job Experience";
      this.appendChild(h1);
    }
  }
);

customElements.define(
  "company-name",
  class extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
      super();
      let div = document.createElement("div");
      div.textContent = this.getAttribute("name");
      this.appendChild(div);
    }

  }
);
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

    <meta charset="utf-8" />

    <script src="myresume.js" defer></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="myresume.css" />

        <company-name name="The Last Company Worked"></company-name>
      </job-experience>
    </my-resume>
  </body>
</html>

The element view:

I can understand why the entire layout is reverse that of the HTML mark up.  If for example I move the H1 elements up to the top of the parent container things are better. But I don't understand why each new custom element acts like a stack (each new element is pushed on the top) the last element added is always on rendered above other elements.
Custom Element creation logic determines the order of creation. It starts at each parent element and works its way down. But append child reverses the order because the browser will always render the last child appended first.

A: As mentioned by Patric Evans, your layout is rendering that way because you are using [appendChild] which inserts your node after the last child. If you use [prepend] your layout will render the way you expect.
As mentioned by Danny Engleman, don't do DOM manipulation in the constructor.
I believe this is more like what you are wanting..

customElements.define(
  "my-resume",
  class myresume extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
      super();
    }

    connectedCallback() {
        let h1 = document.createElement("h1");
        h1.textContent="My Resume Name";
        this.prepend(h1);
        // this.appendChild(h1);
    }
  }
);

customElements.define(
  "job-experience",
  class jobexperience extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
      super();
    }

    connectedCallback() {
      let h1 = document.createElement("h1");
      h1.textContent="Job Experience";
      // this.appendChild(h1);
      this.prepend(h1);

    }
  }
);

customElements.define(
  "company-name",
  class extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
      super();
    }

    connectedCallback() {
      let div = document.createElement("div");
      div.textContent = this.getAttribute("name");
      // this.appendChild(div);
      this.prepend(div);
    }

  }

With school holidays fast approaching there are going to be some changes to the timetable for the next few Tuesdays.
First, fencing will be taking a three week break while Michael S is visiting Italy. We wish him all the best and hope that he comes back with many a tale of fine food and experiences!
Second, this Tuesday will be the last Systema session run by Michael C before he heads off to Canada to visit family and to attend the Systema summer camp run by Vladimir Vasilliev. Likewise, I hope Michael returns injury free and with plenty to share once he gets back at the end of August.

Opinion: Alcohol & Health, Drinking & Driving
Finding Links between DUI Offenders and Mental Health
By: Sarah Nelson
Ph.D., Associate Director of Research, Harvard Medical School
In settings where mental health disorders are common, but secondary to other problems, such as driving under the influence (DUI) offender programs, clients often do not undergo comprehensive screening for psychiatric disorders. Increasing evidence indicates that DUI offenders have high rates of other non-substance-related mental health issues, as well as alcohol-related problems1,2,3. Although there are multiple factors that contribute to the decision to drive under the influence, it is likely that experiencing more than one mental health disorder – comorbidity – contributes to DUI behavior and recidivism4,5.
We conducted a study to determine the extent of psychiatric comorbidity among DUI recidivists (offenders who have been convicted of DUI more than once)6. Over 700 DUI offenders entering a two-week inpatient treatment facility for court-sentenced repeat DUI offenders completed a computer-guided interview ( the Composite International Diagnostic Interview7) with a counselor during intake. The interview collected information about multiple different mental health disorders.
Almost all of the offenders in our sample qualified for alcohol abuse or dependence in their lifetime. But more strikingly, almost half had both a substance-related disorder (e.g., alcohol abuse) and a non-substance-related psychiatric disorder, such as bipolar disorder, in their lifetime. Figure 1 shows the prevalence of different disorders in our sample, compared to the general population.
Figure 1. Lifetime Prevalence of Psychiatric Disorders in Repeat DUI Offender Sample and GeneralUSPopulation6
Note. General population rates derived from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication8.
In addition to elevated rates of substance use disorders, repeat DUI offenders had significantly higher rates of bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and conduct disorder than the general population. Figure 2 shows the extent of mental health problems in our sample, compared to the general population.
Figure 2. Extent of Psychiatric Disorders in Repeat DUI Offender Sample and General US Population6
These results suggest that DUI treatment needs to begin to identify and address mental health issues beyond alcohol use disorders. It is likely that for some offenders, these underlying mental issues drive both their alcohol use and DUI behavior.

Alcohol & Violence
Research shows that higher rates of drinking, heavy drinking, and alcohol abuse are reported by violent offenders than the general population. Psychopharmacological effects—the way chemicals interact with an individual's brain and affect thinking and behavior - physiological factors - individual brain chemistry - and other influencers provide explanations of behavioral patterns involving alcohol and violence.

Q: Why does my sub-NgModule not see a custom pipe defined in the root NgModule? I am working on a large project that has a shared module for reusable components. This module has a lot of components, and I'm attempting to group some of the related components into submodules for functionality reuse and organization.
My issue is that upon creating a submodule, I'm getting some errors in some of the submodule components. For example, one component uses a custom pipe that also lives in /shared/. Now that the component is scoped to it's submodule, it's not seeing that this custom pipe is available, where as before it was no issue.
Here is a rough example of what I'm talking about.. this doesn't include /shared/, but for simplicity's sake, assume app.module is the "shared" module.
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-9fxvp6

A: To use a pipe in two different NgModule, you have to create a shared module.

You can put commonly used directives, pipes, and components into one module and then import just that module wherever you need it in other parts of your app.

@NgModule({
 imports:      [ CommonModule ],
 declarations: [ CapitalizePipe ],
 exports:      [ CapitalizePipe ]
})
export class SharedModule {}

To elaborate on our discussion. Once you import two separate shared modules into another module (say AppModule), it does -not- mean that anything you declared in one of those sub modules, is available in the other module. You need to strictly import into a module what you want.
Great paint work

If those two submodules both need something from the declarations array, you should create another module, have it declared in that other module, add it to the export of that other module, and import that module in both submodule #1 and submodule #2:

With this in place you can assume the following (all from the @NgModule declarations):

*

*Everything that is in the exports array of submodule #3 will be available to use in templates of submodule #1, submodule #2 and Appmodule. You can add whatever you have in the declarations of submodule #3 to the exports array, but best practice is to put there just what you want available for the outside world.
You can also add other NgModules in the exports array, without the necessity of adding them to the imports array, if you do not require them in that specific module, but do want it to be available in other modules who import said module.

*Everything in the exports array of submodule #1 will -only- be available to be used in templates declared in the AppModule (again, as well in the submodule #1).

*Everything in the exports array of submodule #2 will -only- be available to be used in templates declared in the AppModule (again, as well in the submodule #2).

*AppModule should not have anything in its export array.. but it can use all the things exported from the other modules, and components/directives/pipes declared by itself

A: The code that you have shared on stackblitz should work. Anything inside app.module is available across the app. There is no need to export pipe from the app.module. but if you do plan to move the pipe to shared module then follow the approach suggested by PierreDuc. So if you have a shared component and shared pipe they would ideally rest in the same module..  call it shared module. Hope this helps.

Pikit are plant-like enemies that appear in A Link to the Past.
Pikit are encountered when Link journeys into the Dark World. They will hop around and when Link draws near, they will extend their tongue out towards him, trying to steal items from him. The Pikit can steal Rupees, Bombs, Arrows, and even Link's Fighter's Shield and Fire Shield. If a Pikit steals an item from Link, Link will have an opportunity to get it back. Link will need to defeat the Pikit before the Pikit steals an additional item. Once the Pikit steals the second item, the first item will be lost forever.
Despite the Pikit's ability to steal items from Link, the tongue attack will not do any damage to Link. However, if the Pikit does hop towards Link and comes into contact with him, two full hearts of damage will be done. Link is able to defeat a Pikit with three slashes from the Master Sword.
Pikits are most abundant around the Ice Lake at the southeast portion of the Dark World. However, they can also be found within Skeleton Forest and the Plains of Ruin.
Pikit from A Link to the Past.

However, they found no correlation between the DASH scores and perceived partner support. Overall, the researchers found catastrophic thinking and kinesiophobia were the most important predictors of the severity of upper extremity disability.
According to the research, the persistent presence of such psychological factors in determining the magnitude of upper extremity disability suggests that it is important to include these factors in coping strategies. Any treatment program must have a multi-disciplinary approach that includes the mindset of the patient and helps him/her cope with his injury and disability.

A new craft cocktail bar brings Cajun grub and Princess Bride cocktails to North Portland.
Cliffs of Insanity, The Six Fingered Man, Inigo Montoya, True Love. For fans of The Princess Bride (and who isn't?), a theme quickly emerges from the cocktail menu at Victoria.
Located in the former Luchador space at N. Albina and Humbolt, Victoria is the brainchild of Lightning Bar Collective, Portland's supergroup of bar owners whose greatest hits include Sweet Hereafter, Dig A Pony, Jackknife, and Bye & Bye.
"It's like when you find out two people are siblings, and you never would have guessed it right off, but once you know, you're like, 'Oh, I kind of see it!'" says Lisa Victoria Hare, the new spot's owner, bar manager, and namesake.
Hare, who got her start in New York's craft cocktail scene and served as Jackknife's opening bartender, approached the collective in March about partnering up for a new venture. The project came together at lightning speed, opening in late July as LBC's other current project, Century, lagged behind.
So, how does Victoria compare to the rest of the LBC family? Certain elements, like New Orleans-style eats and a movie-themed drink menu, are unique to the new space. Other touches—think somber paintings of the sinking of the Lusitania—clearly come from the collective's design team.
Outside, a sunny patio will soon boast a covered, dog-friendly section area a la Sweet Hereafter. And since Portland is racking up 100 degree days faster than Westley and Buttercup rolled down that hill, we predict that patio will see plenty of use before the season is over.

UK Appoints New Foreign Office Chief
By Winnie Agbonlahor on 29/07/2015 | Updated on 25/09/2020
The British ambassador to Germany has been appointed the new top civil servant of Britain's foreign office, it has been announced today.
Sir Simon McDonald will take up the role of permanent under secretary of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and head of the UK's diplomatic service in September.
He is replacing Sir Simon Fraser is retiring from the post after 36 years in the civil service, at the end of this month.
An FCO spokesman told Global Government Forum that the department's three directors-general (DGs) – Sir Julian King, DG, Economic and Consular; Sir Simon Gass, DG, Political; and Sarah MacIntosh, DG, Defence and Intelligence – will share the role of acting permanent secretary until McDonald starts.
McDonald joined the British diplomatic service in 1982 and has served in Jeddah and Riyadh, both in Saudi Arabia; Bonn, in Germany; Washington in the US; Tel Aviv, in Israel; and in a wide range of jobs in London.
He took up his position as British ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany in October 2010. In that role he leads the embassy in Berlin and the two consulates-general in Düsseldorf and Munich. He had an earlier posting to Germany between 1988 and 1990 when he was at the British Embassy in Bonn as second secretary (economic).
Before becoming ambassador in Berlin, McDonald served as the prime minister's foreign policy adviser and head of foreign and defence policy in the Cabinet Office from 2007 to 2010. From 2003 to 2006 he was British ambassador to Israel.
He was appointed Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George in 2014.
He said: "I am honoured. I have worked for the diplomatic service for 33 years and it is a privilege now to lead it.
"My immediate foreign policy priorities are the EU renegotiation, Russia/Ukraine, countering extremism, boosting trade and inward investment and keeping our citizens safe overseas. I look forward to the challenge."
Before representing the UK as ambassador in Germany, McDonald worked as foreign policy adviser to the prime minister & head of foreign and defence policy in the Cabinet Office for three years.
Prior to that, he held various roles within the FCO, including that of ambassador to Israel, director, principal private secretary to the foreign secretary, and speech writer.
Foreign secretary Philip Hammond said McDonald's "wealth of experience and commitment to the Foreign Office means he is well placed to lead the organisation through a challenging time internationally."
And cabinet secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, said he is looking forward to working with McDonald, adding that "his extensive diplomatic experience, strong policy development and communication skills will enable him to lead the FCO successfully through the policy and financial challenges ahead. I am very much looking forward to working with him."

Safety net: how governments are working to protect citizens online
In recent years, governments and businesses have acted to tackle online crimes such as hacking and fraud. Now many are focusing on ways to balance the right to free speech with the need to prevent harm online. Bringing together civil servants and industry leaders from around the world, this webinar discussed how to create policy, regulatory, legislative and technical frameworks to protect people from harm without stifling economic growth, open debate or public access to digital services.
In the moment: Redesigning services around citizens' lives
Creating these systems demands close inter-departmental collaboration, service reforms, and new technological capabilities in fields such as identity verification, automation and data exchange. At this webinar, civil servants from around the world explored how governments can pursue 'life event' strategies – putting citizens, rather than departments, at the centre of service delivery.

'Levelling Up' in the era of COVID 19
The UK government says it remains committed to 'Levelling Up' – but what does that look like in the era of COVID-19? How should the agenda evolve in response to the pandemic, and what actions will be required of public servants across central, regional and local government? Presenting in four panel discussions with senior public sector leaders and topical experts, this Global Government Forum online conference examined key aspects of the topic: strategy, civil service relocations, infrastructure, and the role of combined authorities.

Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize Win Seriously Annoys Authors
"I totally get the Nobel committee," novelist Gary Shteyngart jokes, "reading books is hard"
Joe Otterson | October 13, 2016 @ 9:33 AM	Last Updated: October 13, 2016 @ 9:52 AM
Bob Dylan, with top hat near Auckland, New Zealand March 1978
Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday, but he definitely didn't win any friends in literary circles.
A number of authors vented their frustration online that Dylan was chosen as this year's recipient of the prestigious award. The Nobel Prize in Literature traditionally goes to novelists, poets and playwrights, rather than songwriters.
Read some of the reactions below.

I'm a Dylan fan, but this is an ill conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the rancid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies.
– Irvine Welsh (@IrvineWelsh) October 13, 2016
To be fair, no one really expected Dylan to win.
The New Republic put his odds of winning at 50:1 just last week. And no American has taken the Nobel Prize in Literature since Toni Morrison in 1993.
Needless to say, when Dylan beat out major writers like Philip Roth and Joyce Carol Oates, there were audible gasps and chuckles in the hall in Stockholm, Sweden, per Reuters.
15 Best Books From the Defunct 'Star Wars' Expanded Universe (Photos)
After Disney bought LucasFilm and got the ball rolling on new "Star Wars" movies, they wiped clean the entire Expanded Universe of narratively connected novels, comics and video games from the official "Star Wars" timeline. Gone, yes, but not forgotten. Among all the novels that were published over three decades, there's still plenty of gems to be found in the defunct Expanded Universe.
15. "Tales From Jabba's Palace" (1996)
The "Star Wars" universe, being massive and full of oddities, was really well served by a series of short story anthologies like this, which also happens to be the best one. It explores a lot of the strange things we saw in Jabba's palace in "Return of the Jedi," and it's never afraid to get real weird -- which in this case, at least, is a great thing.
14. "Outbound Flight" (2006)
Functions as a prequel to Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy, finally detailing the Outbound Flight mission we'd heard mentioned so many times for over a decade -- and it turned out to be a lot more involved than we'd thought.
"Outbound Flight," which occurred during the events of the prequel trilogy, involved a group of Jedi Masters and a number of colonists taking an expedition beyond the galaxy in search of extra-galactic Force users -- but on their way out they flew through the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, and ran afoul of some of the more unsavory alien civilizations there. And also Thrawn, whose species of blue near-humans hails from that part of space.
13. "Edge of Victory: Conquest" (2001)
Late in the run of the Expanded Universe came single longform stories published as a series -- the longest of these was the "New Jedi Order," about a race of religious fanatic aliens called the Yuuzhan Vong invading the galaxy.
"Conquest" was the eighth in that series, and it was the first, ah, humanizing look at the Yuuzhan Vong society. It turned out that, like any other society, the Yuuzhan Vong has its downtrodden folks who don't like the murderous establishment, and teenage Anakin (youngest son of Han and Leia) carries out a dangerous mission with one such downtrodden soul.
12. "Isard's Revenge" (1999)
This "X-Wing" one-shot novel is essentially the payoff to the entire long history of the elite Rogue Squadron that was told over a number of novels and comic books. Every loose end tied off and many stories, including some not part of the Rogue arc, re-contextualized in a really interesting way. "Isard's Revenge" is the kind of story that can only happen within a massive universe with a detailed history -- it's the kind of story that makes a lot of old bad storytelling feel like it was worth it.
11. "Han Solo and the Lost Legacy" (1980)
One of the most fascinating aspects of the "Star Wars" Expanded Universe was how the early authors were kinda making up how everything worked and casually establishing hugely important things. Though, it was obvious nobody knew what they were doing and most of the books were pretty terrible as details were filled in at random.
The three "Han Solo Adventures" were released in 1979 and 1980 -- and they work because they tell small stories rather than the sort of galaxy-shaking narratives we would see every couple months throughout the '90s. "Lost Legacy," the third one, sees Han going after the fabled treasure of Xim the Despot at the edge of the galaxy. It's a great story, and an early emblem for the flexibility of "Star Wars" as a setting.
10. "Hand of Thrawn" duology (1997)
Grand Admiral Thrawn has been dead for a decade, and the New Republic is on the verge of an official peace accord with the beaten-down remnants of the Empire. But Thrawn's legacy, and plans he'd set in motion long before threaten that peace. This is why nerds love Thrawn so much. In the Expanded Universe, he casts a shadow that -- though it's a different kind of shadow -- is nearly as long as that of Darth Vader and the Emperor.
9. "Wedge's Gamble" (1996)
The second book in the "X-Wing" series recounts the Liberation of Coruscant by the New Republic a few years after "Return of the Jedi." It's a seemingly impossible task -- the Empire is still extremely well armed, and Corsucant is protected by an impenetrable energy shield.
So they clandestinely send in the new Rogue Squadron, which had been rebuilt with squad members had a number of other martial skills beyond being great pilots. The Rogues are tasked with bringing down the planetary shield by whatever means possible, and as they're on a deadline, this thing gets hairy as hell.
8. "Dark Force Rising" (1993)
I don't hold up Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy with the sort of reverence a lot of fans do, but the middle book, "Dark Force Rising," is really great. Grand Admiral Thrawn has reunited much of the remains of the Empire and is ripping the New Republic a new one. Then a wild card enters the fray: the mythical Katana Fleet, 200 massive droid-controlled dreadnoughts that had disappeared from known space due to a computer error during the Clone Wars decades earlier. By chance it's been found, and it's a race to see which side can claim them first -- because the Katana fleet would seriously tilt the balance of the war.
7. "Enemy Lines" duology (2002)
Late in the "New Jedi Order," famed Rebel hero Wedge Antilles is charged with holding the planet Borleias from the Yuuzhan Vong, and it's one hell of a thing. Massively outgunned, Wedge pulls a whole lot of seat-of-your-pants gambits out of his ass -- and this pair of books, authored by the late Aaron Allston, is full of great and witty dialogue of the sort you just never got from other "Star Wars" authors.
I treat "Enemy Lines" as a singular entity because the two sort of function as a single book split in half.
6. "Cloak of Deception" (2001)
During the years when the prequel trilogy was released, a lot of novels and comics were commissioned more or less just to clean up the many narrative problems with those films. In "The Phantom Menace," for example, fans complain about all the talk of trade routes and taxes -- but the real problem was just that we didn't understand what any of it meant just from the movie.
Enter "Cloak of Deception," which gave the Trade Federation's beef with the Republic exactly the context it needed and by extension improving that bad movie in a real way.
5. "Wraith Squadron" (1998)
The story of the Wraiths is unique among "Star Wars" stories in a lot of ways. It follows famed Rebel pilot Wedge Antilles as he assembles a hybrid starfighter/foot soldier squadron of emotionally unstable washouts -- in hopes that such a group might approach apparently normal war scenarios in really unpredictable ways, and that's exactly what happens. It's the most human of all the "Star Wars" stories, full of truth.
4. "Revenge of the Sith" (2005)
In a stroke of brilliance, LucasFilm had one of its best "Star Wars" authors, Matthew Woodring Stover, write the novelization of "Revenge of the Sith." It's so good it might trick you into remembering fondly the awful movie on which it's based.
It's also notable as a film novelization because it leans heavily on the Expanded Universe, with other books being referenced heavily. And that's why it qualifies for this list -- a lot of stuff here isn't part of the canon anymore.
3. "Starfighters of Adumar" (1999)
The late Aaron Allston authored many of the best Expanded Universe stories, and "Starfighters of Adumar" is where really got to cut loose. Wedge Antilles and pals Tycho, Hobbie and Janson, are sent as diplomats to a newly discovered planet full of people who pretty don't give a shit about anyone who isn't a fighter pilot. It's incessantly funny and weird -- a great little side story that's as witty as they get in this universe.
2. "Iron Fist" (1998)
The Wraiths, now a unit with some missions under their belts, go undercover as a mercenary pirate gang in hopes of being hired by the biggest Imperial threat at that time, the Warlord Zsinj. It's harrowing as hell, and an escalation of the themes established in "Wraith Squadron," as the group struggles (and often fails) to keep it together mentally.
1. "Traitor" (2002)
The peak of the "New Jedi Order," and where the purpose of its overall narrative arc was revealed.
In the '90s, the "Star Wars" Expanded Universe got really moralistic and stuffy, and "Traitor" was a total refutation of that approach. It's the darkest "Star Wars" story ever written, but it serves a positive agenda in the end: Maybe the Force isn't black and white and the Jedi don't need to stand around wondering about the moral implications of every little thing they do. It was a really great change for storytelling in the "Star Wars" universe.
Even though we're in a new era of "Star Wars," it's always good to look back at where we've been in the long history of "Star Wars" novels

I've been looking at the 'Crazy Domain Insane!' plan, but I'm wondering one thing.
Currently I've got three websites hosted at various providers, however, with the DH plan it'll offer more than enough space and bandwidth than I'll need for thirty times the current sites. One thing isn't clear though; I've read that you can host unlimited amount of domains - it doesn't tell whether you can direct these domains to different directories and thus being able to host multiple websites.
As second question I'd like to know how the uptime/speed of Dreamhost is to current customers, I've only seen one or two uptime graphs which were pretty neat, but this doesn't show the time required to parse PHP or handle MySQL in any way. I was wondering about that too as DreamHost is a big host but doesn't clearly state how many websites are hosted per server.
If anyone could help me out on this one I'd be more than glad to read it, thanks in advance.
it doesn't tell whether you can direct these domains to different directories and thus being able to host multiple websites.
Yes, each domain (or sub-domain) hosted at DreamHost has its own publicly accessible web-directory, mailboxes etc. and each is independent of the others.
I can only speak from personal experience, but I have been very happy with the overall speed and uptime since I have been with DreamHost. The few outages I do notice are very short in duration and my sites are generally back up before I can lodge a support request.
One thing worth noting; At DreamHost your MySQL databases will not be on the same physical server as your website, this can cause a little extra latency, but this doesn't appear to noticeably affect the speed of my sites.
I host about 17 domains now and have been with 6-7 hosts in the past. I won't ever leave Dreamhost.
That's what i was thinking few times before also.
So i never say never.
For downtime, it's ok for me.
I think you have got enough informations.
Yes, each domain or subdomain is in one folder which is controlled by one user. This is convenient to control the files for different domains.
We do not know how many websites are hosted per server. But so far we are ok with the speed. Just remember this is a shared server, the speed may vary sometime. but it is enough for us. If you are serious with the speed, DH also provides dedicated server.
Domains per server estimates vary. It's in the wiki FAQ somewhere. Something like 800-1000 on average, but basically just the right combination on each server to keep them percolating optimally. Not too many, not too few; just right. Most of the time.

About "The Psychic Spy"
Russia is looking for nuclear missile that went missing, US sources claim
Russia is preparing to carry out an extensive search for a nuclear-powered missile that went missing during a test several months ago, according to American intelligence sources. The missing missile appears to be part of a new Russian-made weapon system that President Vladimir Putin boasted about earlier this year. During his annual state-of-the-union speech in Moscow on March 1, Putin said that Russia had developed a new type of nuclear-powered missile with a virtually unlimited range. This new type of weapon, said the Russian president, could fly indefinitely and thus deliver nuclear warheads to any target around the world. Additionally, the new system was designed in such a way that it could evade every known missile defense system and was thus "invulnerable to interception", he claimed.
According to observers, the recently announced Russian weapon has been in development for more than 15 years. It is based on gasoline-powered engines that are used during the missile's takeoff. But soon afterwards, they give way to a nuclear-powered engine that guides the missile to its eventual destination. However, despite Putin's claims, the weapon has never been successfully tested according to American intelligence sources. The Americans claim that the Russian military tested these missiles at least four times between November of 2017 and February of this year, and that all four missiles crashed long before they reached their intended destination. The idea of indefinite flight, therefore, which Putin boasted about earlier this year, remains unrealized, according to American sources. Moscow, however, denies that the missiles crashed during the testing stage.
Now the American news network CNBC has said that Russia is preparing to launch a large-scale search operation for one of the nuclear-powered missiles that went missing in the Arctic Ocean in November of 2017. It is believed that the missile crashed in the Barents Sea, a vast expanse of water located off the northern coasts of Russia and Norway. Citing anonymous individuals "with direct knowledge of a US intelligence report" on the subject, CNBC said on Tuesday that the Russian search mission will consist of three vessels, at least one of which will be specially equipped to handle radioactive material from the missing missile's nuclear core. The American news network said that the Russian search mission has no definite timeline. The Russian government has not commented on CNBC's allegations.

Q: Ricoh Aficio MFP transfer documents from document server I need to transfer documents from Ricoh Aficio 5001 document server to Ricoh Aficio 5002.  Is there any quick way of tranferring these onto a USB perhaps and then upload them to 5002 MFP?
Update - There was no way , the 5001 doens't have a USB port unlike 5002. So we were forced to re-scan the documents.

A: Source: Ricoh Helpdesk, 4 years.
Sadly there is no way to transfer the documents, short of printing and scanning them into the new MFD. The document server is only really there for people using the machines as a stand-alone copier. If you're printing to it (which I imagine you would, given the size) you should look into setting up Scan-To-Folder on the new machine to prevent future heart-ache.
Sorry.

A: The easiest way is with the file format convertor type e, your system probably does not have that option installed.
You should be able to enter the IP address of the system in your web browser, then access admin tab, from there you should be able to copy to the new system, Not sure, but it may work.

Review for Beauty Tempts the Beast!
Vivian Suttley needs Charles Hansard, Viscount Ashworth to marry her as soon as possible. Charles is known as The Monster because of being a recluse with a scarred face. Not many women are waiting in line to marry him. Vivian doesn't care what Charles looks like. She saw him before his hideous scarring and knows he is simply a man who is tormented inside. Vivian wants to be the one woman to help and heal him. She also needs his protection from a man who wants her and will stop at nothing until she is his.
No woman would want to take on The Monster. Charles cannot have a lovely young miss like Vivian in his life. She is too pure and wholesome for a wretched man like himself. Even when he tries to scare Vivian with threats that turn into seduction, Vivian will not be deterred. Because Charles can't deny his attraction to Vivian, he will allow her to stay for the time being. He knows she is hiding something, and he will figure out what it is.
As Vivian and Charles become more comfortable around each other, the woman Charles once loved comes back begging for his hand in marriage. Charles asks Vivian to pretend to be his fiancé, which she accepts. She would love nothing more for this mock engagement to become a reality. Vivian will not be frightened away from the overbearing Charles or the other side he tries to keep at bay. Time is running out because Vivian's stalker knows where she is and will stop at nothing to have her in his arms or to kill her so no other man can have her.
Beauty Tempts the Beast has a nice gothic feel to it. This dark, sweeping romance is perfect for those readers who like suffering heroes. Charles is so distressed as he grapples with his fears and the horrors of his past that has lead him to a life of seclusion. His whole world changes when Vivian enters his life. Watching him fall for Vivian adds to the complexity of this story. Leslie Dicken really does build up the attraction between Charles and Vivian and their love scenes smolder with intensity.
The mystery and intrigue in Beauty Tempts the Beast makes this quite the page turner. There are many twists and turns you will not see coming that will keep you guessing till the very end. Leslie Dicken is indeed one author to watch, andBeauty Tempts the Beast will tempt you in many ways.

The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has published PS6/16: The PRA's approach to identifying other systemically important institutions (O-SIIs).
This Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) policy statement (PS) provides feedback to responses to Consultation Paper (CP) 39/15, 'The PRA's approach to identifying other systemically important institutions (O-SIIs)'.The PS also contains a statement of policy on the PRA's approach to identifying O-SIIs and the PRA's 2015 list of UK firms designated as O-SIIs.
In CP39/15 the PRA set out the criteria and scoring methodology it proposed to use to identify O-SIIs. These criteria and methodology are derived from Article 131(3) of the Capital Requirements Directive (2013/36/EU) (CRD IV) – which requires O-SIIs to be identified – and follow the European Banking Authority (EBA) Guidelines on the criteria to determine the conditions of application of Article 131(3) CRD IV in relation to the assessment of O-SIIs.
The consultation set out the PRA's proposed approach to identifying and designating as O-SIIs those firms whose distress or failure would have a systemic impact on the UK or the EU economy or financial system due to size, importance (including substitutability or financial system infrastructure), complexity, cross-border activity, and interconnectedness.
This policy statement is relevant to all credit institutions, investment firms, EEA parent institutions, EEA parent financial holding companies and EEA parent mixed financial holding companies within the domestic financial sector at their highest level of consolidation in the United Kingdom.

Clean up and recycling week takes off
Front Page FeatureGovernmentLocal News
By Tebogo Madalane	 On Sep 20, 2019
Coca Cola Beverages collaborated with the Department of Environmental Affairs and handed out cold drinks in exchange for empty plastic bottles at the Greenpoint park on Tuesday.
This serves as part of the recycling week initiative, which begun in 1996 in KwaZulu-Natal, which was launched by the plastic industry. The initiative aims to teach South African's of disposing their waste in a responsible manner by highlighting the importance of recycling materials that can be used to create new products, generate employment and reduce the impact on the environment.
Coca Cola handed out a 2 litre cold drink for every plastic bag full of empty plastic bottles, this gave the community major incentive to start picking up waste within their area. The reward attracted a lot of young and old people, creating what the Good Green Deeds campaign hopes to see taking place daily towards creating a clean South Africa.
Community member, Lorraine Van Staden was happy to see the Coca Cola staff in Greenpoint, contributing to the fight against waste.
"I am happy to see the Coca Cola people in our neighborhood, we are the most forgotten neighborhoods in Kimberley but I'm grateful that they thought of us. Hopefully the whole community will take cleaning and recycling seriously as it's not only the duty of EPWP (Extended Public Works Program) workers because there's also money in recycling", said Lorraine.
The Department of Environmental Affairs Director, Brian van Staden explains that such initiatives need to be consistent because the same plastic bottles that have already been collected for cold drinks will be lying on the ground again tomorrow. Waste management needs to be sung every single day just like the plea for femicide to end. Our people are not aware that they can make money through recycling and how it will actually help the very same environment they live in.
PR and communications manager for Coca Cola, Pinky Lebitso, states that the beverage company took a pledge when the President of the country launched the Good Green Deeds program that they will also help with cleanups and collecting of plastic bottles around the country. They joined the Good Green Deeds in Kimberley on its awareness campaign as part of a build up towards the Khoro Awards which will take place on Wednesday.
The collected bottles will be taken to a recycling depot in Kimberley via efforts of the EPWP transport.
The clean-up recycle week runs from the 16th to the 21st of September.

Please watch the video so you can see what the problem is and tell me what the solution is?
Forgot the video link in my original post and had Scott fix it for me!
So you have had this problem going on 6 yrs now? What work has been performed? What has been checked?
If the vehicle has Electric Power Steering, there may be a reset process to re center. See if you can find someone with KIA GDS software and go through the options. Check the basics as well like Caster and Camber.
See if you can check the EPS configuration with the GDS. I have seen several that the steering was way too light and over responsive. I reset the EPS configuration and corrected the issue.
Solution 1 : Call dealership or AM shop that will get more info, do needed testing & preform proper repair.
Your video is a little short and hard to tell what the vehicle is doing since I can't see the road but I think I get the idea. Your complaint is that the car wanders from side to side, is too sensitive and/or hard to keep going straight down the road. It drives like you have a loose gear box on an old car or truck or a loose pitman arm which is allowing the front steering to move slightly independently of the steering wheel. Is that correct?
I've run into problems like this on a lot of newer vehicles made since the late 2000's. It's all the driver's fault. ;-) Please read completely through my long and rambling reply before you get upset with me, I'm not blaming you, just saying it could be something caused by you and not the vehicle, since the exact same problem was caused by my father in both of the vehicles he owned that exhibited the same wandering type of problem. I've also had many customers with the same complaint after they purchase a newer vehicle.
Seriously, in my experience it has been a driver perception problem, but, since I can't drive your vehicle I can't say for sure it is with you but it was with the two newer vehicles my father bought. We finally moved him back to a nice older 2008 car that I knew didn't suffer from this problem.
My father complained about the same problem with both of his brand new vehicles, right out of the show room. Within a week of owning both he was back at the dealership complaining about the exact same issue that you are complaining about. The dealership couldn't duplicate the problem and even had him drive a couple of other new cars and my father said they acted the same way.
He asked me to look at it so I went with him to the dealer, he drove there and showed me the problem he was having. Once we arrived at the dealer I drove the vehicle myself, all by myself and was unable to duplicate the problem that he could so easily reproduce over and over. Then I rode in the back seat with the dealer tech in the passenger front while my father drove. The problem was there all the time. Then the dealer tech drove and my father was in the front passenger seat, the dealer tech couldn't reproduce the problem. Then I drove and I couldn't reproduce the problem. Then I remembered a car my wife drove a while back when I owned a used car lot. At first she couldn't drive it, she said it was too touchy, hard to control around the center, couldn't keep it going straight. The car had performance steering, A quick ratio gear box that took her a week to get used to. The next car after that was soft and unresponsive around the center. Took another week to get used to.
From what I can see in the video you are having the same problem my father was having. The steering was too sensitive and it was hard to control and keep going straight ahead, at least for him. I showed him how I could drive on a flat level road with the tires properly filled and no wind and get the vehicle going straight down the road and let go of the steering wheel, hovering my hands around the outside of the wheel. The vehicle would go straight for at least 300 or 400 yards, sometimes over half a mile before it started to move off center, then it would go left or right, it didn't prefer one way over the other.
Caster was reduced in a lot of newer vehicles in order to reduce rolling resistance and increase gas mileage. This was especially noticeable in mini vans and SUVs since they were taller and more likely to be unstable. Unfortunately caster is not adjustable so you (and my father) are stuck with the problem.
I ended up taking an older GM mini van and setting the alignment to the correct specifications and letting my father drive it. According to him it drove perfect. Then all I did was reduce caster, leaving camber and toe exactly the same. Once I reached 1.5 degrees or less he started complaining about the same issue, wandering, hard to control, he said it was pulling but I would call it drifting since it moved off center rather slowly. Then I added caster back in and it became a nice to drive mini van again.
I didn't tell him what I was doing to the van until I was done with the experiment, each test drive was labeled with a letter and his notes about the ride were on the same paper as the letter. On the back of the page was the specs I had set the front alignment to. It was obvious that as caster changed his perception of how the vehicle drove changed too. I never had the vehicle way out of spec or set to unrealistic settings either. I just reduced the caster and then increased it.
I did the same basic thing by lowing his tire pressure on the front and rear tires from the recommended 35 psi to as low as 24 psi which was where it felt normal again.
With my father driving and the tires and alignment set correctly and me in the passenger seat and him complaining about how poorly it was handling I could reach over and take the steering wheel in my hand, have him let go and show him how it drove perfectly with me steering it or even with no hands on the steering wheel. As soon as he started to control the vehicle you could feel the difference. If I rode with him long enough I would start to get car sick and I never get car sick, he just kept moving the steering wheel back and forth over correcting the vehicle as he drove it down the road.
Unfortunately I feel that is the same thing that is happening with you. Again without being able to drive it myself or ride with you I can't say for sure but I've ridden with a lot of people who have the exact same issue as you do, including my father. He is very happy with his 2008 Corolla that doesn't suffer from that problem. Otherwise see if there is a way to increase the caster on the front of your vehicle. Best guess I can give you.
