Q: Menubar created by PyQt Designer i designed in PyQt-Designer a surface and converted it to a .py
No I´m trying to link a function to a menubar-(button). There is something like open, save, close....
I have tried a lot, but unsuccessfully, i hope you can help me to connect a simple function to the open-button in the menu bar.
for example a function that is linked to the menubar
menubar->open->function(open_path):
def open_path():
                root= Tk()
                Pfad=askdirectory()

    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
    MainWindow.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

A: First of all I recommend you read the docs, it recommends not to modify the class generated by Qt Designer, but you must create another class that inherited from a widget and use the class provided by Qt Designer as an interface.
On the other hand it is not necessary to use tkinter, Qt provides widgets to obtain directory paths like QFileDialog.
And finally you have to use the triggered signal of self.actionOpen.
Considering the above the solution is:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
        # ...

    def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
        # ...

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.actionOpen.triggered.connect(self.open_file)

    @QtCore.pyqtSlot()
    def open_file(self):
        fdirectory = QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(self, "Open Directory")
        if fdirectory:
            print(fdirectory)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = MainWindow()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

People in the Senate gallery were reportedly weeping after Monday night's votes.
In the wake of the Orlando terror attack that took 49 lives at a gay nightclub, four gun control amendments were proposed to be tacked on to a Justice Department spending bill Monday night.
And one-by-one they were picked off like ducks at a carnival shooting range.
One, the attack wasn't about gun control; it was about radical Islamic terrorists.
Two, they would have given the executive branch carte blanche to determine who is or is not a terrorist to be denied his Second Amendment rights, without affording him the minimum due process requirements provided in the Constitution.
@LukeRussert The next time any Republican offers "thoughts and prayers" after a mass shooting, Americans need to tell them to shove it.
Nevertheless, there were a few tweeps that saw through Russert's "observation" and addressed the real issues.
@Biloximeemaw @fredwimpy @LukeRussert Yes, let's see photos. Even that dope senator from CT acknowledged his "bill" prevents zip.
@LukeRussert Stop using this tragedy to further the left's agenda. This isn't about guns, it's about Islamic Terrorists. PERIOD!
@DebraMessing @LukeRussert Yes. Due process. The 2nd Amendment. And stuff like that. Just horrible.
Are we a constitutional republic or not? Are we a nation of laws or not? Do we believe in the rule of law or not?

Q: How to query data of a specific table in all the databases without going into the database individually? One of my clients has following setup in their SQL Server environments: each of their customers has their own database, called Customer1db, Customer2db, and so on. Each of these databases has the exactly same tables and exactly same structure, but just different data.
Let's say there is a TableA and ColumnA in those databases. Is there a way to query the data in ColumnA in each of these databases without doing
select ColumnA from TableA

in each of the databases?

A: EXECUTE master.sys.sp_MSforeachdb
'USE [?];
 if db_id()>4
  begin
 select col from dbo.tbl
 end'

the above will exclude system db's. you can change query to exclude more

Ever since I strapped on my first water ski, i've always had to deal with summer coming and leaving. For a skier in the Midwest, it's always tough seeing the warm days of summer go away as leaves fall from the trees and the lakes freeze over. Lucky for me, my ski season this year will last throughout the fall, winter and early spring season.
Year round skiing and shooting ski photos? Dang, this is finally something that I get to experience and not just dream about.
Before I even made this move to Florida, I was asked many times "won't you miss the seasons?" My response, "no." Sure I won't be able to see the first snow fall of the season, or shovel a foot of snow off the driveway. But for me, I'm in a year round water sports paradise. Something I've dreamed of since I experienced skimming across the water.
So what's my reason for throwing down my random thoughts on this blog? Well, I want to inspire you to do what makes you happy.
You only get one shot at this life and if you are only fighting your way up the corporate ladder, what is life? Sure, I get it, you gotta provide for your family. But don't stop yourself from enjoying the journey. Go climb a mountain, go ski, go do something that makes you say, "Wow, did I really just do that?"
You do that and I'll continue chasing the endless sumer.

As well as all the local activities available in the Freycinet area, there are guided walking tours available for bookings, which are based at Freycinet Retreat. For more information, please visit our dedicated micro site www.walkfreycinet.com, or follow the tab from the menu above.
If you are not on one of our organised tours, but you are staying at Freycinet Retreat you are welcome to wander around the 1200 acres of bush and forest which is home to a great variety of wildlife. With 18 dams on the property the wildlife populations can be greater than in the neighboring National Park.
You can enjoy 360 degree views of the Freycinet Peninsula, and with no light pollution the night sky is something to behold. We do occasionally also get stunning views of the Aurora Australis.
For a more competitive activity we have three orienteering courses mapped out, which vary in length and difficulty.
The East Coast of Tasmania offers some beautiful, if a little chilly, swimming beaches, notable ones being Binalong Bay and Redbill Beach in Bicheno. Muirs Beach in Coles Bay and the Swan River Estuary at nearby Swanwick are popular with the locals, and if you're doing the Wineglass Bay loop walk, then a dip at Hazards Beach can be very refreshing, and often calmer than Wineglass Bay itself. None of the local beaches have lifeguard facilities, so swimmers should exercise caution as there can be rips.

Electricity demand in South Africa has grown at a very rapid rate over the past decade. As part of reform initiatives to enhance long-term sustainability of the country's electricity industry, South Africa's authorities have in recent years sought to develop an electricity pricing framework that is cost reflective and forms the cornerstone of demand management schemes meant to foster changes in consumption behaviour and enhance efficiency in resource use. The effects of any pricing policy on aggregate electricity consumption will depend on a useful understanding of the factors that influence electricity demand, and the magnitude to which electricity demand responds to changes in such factors. In this context, this paper applies the bounds testing approach to cointegration within an autoregressive distributed lag framework to examine the aggregate demand for electricity in South Africa during the period 1960–2007. The results indicate that in the long run, income is the main determinant of electricity demand. With electricity prices having an insignificant effect on aggregate electricity demand, future pricing policies will need to ensure that electricity prices are cost reflective and enhance efficiency of electricity supply and use.

USS Hornet (CV-8) — американський авіаносець класу «Йорктаун». Сьомий корабель у ВМС США з такою назвою. Закладений 25 вересня 1939 року і вступив у стрій 20 жовтня 1940-го.

20 травня 1942-го з його палуби злетіли бомбардувальники B-25, що завдали авіаудар по Токіо. Авіаносець відіграв важливу роль у битві за Мідвей. У серпні-жовтні брав участь у кампанії на Соломонових островах. 26 жовтня був потоплений під час бою біля островів Санта-Крус.

Історія служби
Закладений 25 вересня 1939 року. Спущений на воду 14 грудня 1940 року. Вступив у стрій 20 жовтня 1941 року, за 7 тижнів до нападу японців на Перл-Гарбор.
Після закінчення бойової підготовки в Карибському морі в березні 1942 року перейшов з Норфолка на Тихий океан.

Рейд Дуліттла

Першою та найзнаменнитішою операцією «Горнета» був наліт на Токіо. Після 2 місяців інтенсивних тренувань 2 квітня 1942 року авіаносець вирушив до берегів Японії з 16 літаками B-25 Mitchell на борту. Оскільки на його борту вже не було місця для інших літаків, його прикривав авіаносець «Ентерпрайз».

За планом, літаки повинні були злетіти за 400 миль від узбережжя Японії. Проте, вранці 18 квітня з'єднання було помічене японцями. Було прийняте рішення випускати літаки за 650 миль від узбережжя. Незважаючи на складні умови, всі літаки успішно злетіли та атакували цілі на Японських островах. Всі літаки, крім одного, були втрачені. Єдиний уцілілий літак приземлився на території СРСР, його екіпаж був інтернований. Більшість льотчиків уціліли і згодом повернулися до США.

Наліт не мав серйозних військових наслідків, але мав велике політичне та пропагандистське значення, оскільки вперше була атакована територія власне Японії.

Битва за Мідвей

Через наліт на Токіо «Горнет» не встиг взяти участь у битві в Кораловому морі. У кінці травня авіаносець повернувся до Перл-Гарбора у зв'язку з очікуваним нападом японців на Мідвей.

Вранці 4 червня були помічені японські авіаносці, і командувач 16 оперативним з'єднанням адмірал Реймонд Спрюенс скерував літаки на авіаносне з'єднання противника. Винищувачі та пікіруючі бомбардувальники, провівши безрезультатний пошук, змушені були повернутись, причому частина літаків приземлилась на аеродромі атола Мідвей, а 9 винищувачів взагалі здійснили посадку на воду, оскільки в них закінчилося пальне. Першими противника знайшли торпедоносці. Ескадрилья VT-8 з 15 літаків TBD «Девастейтор» з «Горнета» атакувала в першій хвилі, але не досягла успіху. Всі літаки були втрачені, в живих залишився тільки один пілот. Також були збиті і 10 торпедоносців ескадрильї VT-6. Проте ця самогубча атака завадила японцям заправити та переозброїти літаки, які брали участь у нальоті на Мідвей. Зразу ж після цієї атаки японські кораблі були атаковані пікіруючими бомбардувальниками з «Ентерпрайза». Бомби вразили два японські авіаносці — «Акаґі» та «Каґа». В той же час літаки з «Йорктауна» атакували та вразили третій авіаносець «Сорю».

Вдень літаки з «Ентерпрайза» та «Йорктауна» помітили та вразили останній японський авіаносець «Хірю». Оскільки «Горнет» на цей час змушений був приймати літаки з пошкодженого «Йорктауна», його ударні літаки піднялися в повітря із запізненням. Прибувши до місця розташування японських кораблів, авіатори побачили останній японський авіаносець близьким до затоплення та атакували кораблі супроводу, проте безрезультатно.

6 червня літаки з двох авіаносців атакували два японські важкі крейсери. В першій атаці літаки з «Горнета» досягли двох влучань в крейсер «Могамі» та близьких розривів біля борту «Мікума». У другій атаці американці досягли шести влучань в «Мікума», одного в «Могамі» і одного в есмінець «Арасіо». В результаті «Мікума» був потоплений, «Могамі» та «Арасіо» пошкоджені. Під час атак було втрачено 2 пікіруючі бомбардувальники.

Всього за час битви авіагрупа «Горнета» втратила 12 винищувачів, 15 торпедоносців та 5 пікірувальників.

Бої біля Соломонових островів
Під час висадки десанту на Гуадалканал у серпні 1942 року «Горнет» перевозив винищувачі морської піхоти. Потім він приєднався до авіаносців «Уосп» та «Саратога».

Американські кораблі, що знаходились в даному районі, постійно перебували під загрозою японських підводних човнів. 31 серпня атакою підводного човна I-26 був пошкоджений авіаносець «Саратога», а 15 вересня підводний човен I-19 потопив «Уосп».
17 вересня підводний човен I-11 атакував «Горнет», випустивши по ньому три торпеди. Одна торпеда пройшла повз корабель, а дві інші були знищені літаками. А втім, враховуючи, що «Ентерпрайз» на той час був відправлений на ремонт у Перл-Гарбор, «Горнет» залишався єдиним авіаносцем в районі бойових дій. Щоб уникнути атак підводних човнів, авіаносець був передислокований до острова Еспіріту-Санто. У вересні-жовтні літаки авіаносця здійснювали підтримку військ на Гуадалканалі та охорону конвоїв, які достачали на острів підкріплення та припаси.

Бій біля островів Санта-Крус

23 жовтня 16 оперативне з'єднання американського флоту під командуванням контр-адмірала Кінкейда прибуло до Соломонових Островів. Основні японські сили також підійшли до району бойових дій. До цього часу сухопутний наступ японців на аеродром Гендерсон захлинувся, і японський флот готувався до бою з американськими кораблями.

26 жовтня супротивники помітили одні одних, розпочався бій. Перша атака японців була спрямована на «Горнет». Корабель був атакований 20 торпедоносцями «Кейт» з авіаносця «Сьокаку» та 21 пікіруючими бомбардувальниками «Вел» з «Дзуйкаку» у супроводі 12 винищувачів «Зеро». Незважаючи на контрзаходи американських винищувачів, їм вдалось вразити авіаносець 4 бомбами та 2 торпедами. Крім того, в корабель врізалися два підбиті літаки — один «Вел» та один «Кейт».
«Ентерпрайз», що був неподалік, не був помічений японцями, оскільки був накритий дощовим шквалом. Втрати японців склали 10 «Кейтів», 11 «Велів» та 3 «Зеро».

В цей час літаки «Горнета» атакували японське з'єднання. Перша група з 10 пікіруючих бомбардувальників досягла 6 влучань в «Сьокаку», серйозно пошкодивши його. Друга група двома бомбами вразила крейсер «Тікума» з групи супроводу.

Пошкодження «Горнета» були дуже серйозними. Пожежі палали по всьому кораблю. Система пожежогасіння була пошкоджена, заклинило стерно. Завдяки героїчним зусиллям екіпажу та допомозі есмінців супроводу пожежі вдалось загасити, і крейсер «Нортгемптон» спробував взяти авіаносець на буксир. Але ця спроба була зірвана одним неозброєним «Кейтом», який, імітувавши атаку, змусив обрубати буксирувальний трос. Після цього з авіаносця зняли екіпаж, крім аварійних команд. О 15-00 була здійснена друга спроба взяти пошкоджений корабель на буксир. Але в цей момент з'єднання було атаковане наступною хвилею японських літаків з авіаносця «Дзюнйо». Їм вдалось влучити однією торпедою в правий борт «Горнета». Дві наступні атаки були безуспішними, але боротьбу за порятунок корабля було вирішено припинити і аварійні команди стали покидати приречений авіаносець. Увечері корабель, покинутий екіпажем, був атакований востаннє — в нього влучила бомба.

Хоча команда покинула «Горнет», на якому вирували пожежі, проте, корабель тримався на плаву. Тому було прийняте рішення потопити його. У корабель випустили кілька торпед та обстріляли 430 снарядами з 127-мм гармат в районі ватерлінії, проте корабель все ще тримався на плаву. В цей час підійшли японські кораблі, і американські есмінці змушені були відступити. Японці не змогли буксирувати сильно пошкоджений корабель, і вранці 27 жовтня есмінці «Макігумо» та «Акігумо», випустивши в «Горнет» 6 потужних 610-кг торпед, потопили його.

Всього в бою загинуло 130 членів екіпажу. Частині літаків вдалось сісти на «Ентерпрайз».

Виявлення затопленого корабля
За повідомленнями преси, дослідницьке судно «Петрел» у кінці січня 2019 року виявило затонулий авіаносець «Горнет» у районі Соломонових островів  на глибині 5,3 тисячі метрів. Для експедиції авіаносець «Горнет» був у списку пріоритетних цілей, оскільки належить до першорядних кораблів, втрачених у битвах Другої світової війни та вважається таким, що становить значну історичну цінність. Після вивчення численних документів з різних кораблів, залучених до події тодішнього бою біля островів Санта-Крус, місце затоплення було визначене настільки точно, що вже перше занурення підводного робота виявило залишки корабля та дало змогу зробити дость виразні його фотографії.

The following, from the Home Instead Senior Care® network and Vickie Dellaquila, certified professional organizer and author of Don't Toss My Memories in the Trash, are 10 reasons seniors can't or won't give up their stuff and what to do about it.
The beloved prom dress represents the history and memories of the event; it's not the dress itself. Save only a piece of the dress to make a quilt or display in a shadow box. Scrapbooking and converting photos to DVDs are other ways to save trea-sured keepsakes without all the extra mess.
Older adults who've received gifts from family and friends may be reluctant to part with them. Encourage your loved one to give unused gifts back to the giver or grandchildren.
Seniors are the original green people. Appeal to a senior's desire to help others. "You went through the Great Depression, now it's time for you to let go and help someone else." Counter a senior's inclination to conserve by appealing to their desire to give back.
A home with a lifetime of memories can easily become too much for an older adult to handle. Help seniors manage clutter by establishing online bill paying. Also, get your senior off junk-mail lists, which can put them at risk for identity theft. Buy them a shredder.
Seniors who have suffered a brain trauma or stroke, who are wheelchair bound or who are experiencing dementia may no longer be able to man-age household duties, which could contribute to clutter. If you see a health change, encourage your senior to visit his or her doctor and consider a pro-fessional organizer and caregiver to help your loved one.
Seniors often fear what will happen if they give up their stuff, like the older adult who saved three generations of bank statements. Use logic and information to help seniors understand it's okay to let go.
Those clothes in the closet don't fit anymore, but your loved one is sure that some day she'll lose enough weight to get into them. Ask seniors to fill a box with clothing they don't wear much and make a list of the items in the box. Agree that if they have not gone back to the box in six months to wear the item, they will donate that to charity.
Today's seniors have more money than any other previous generation of older adults and they love to shop. Clutter can become so bad seniors can't find things and they repurchase items they already have, contributing to the clutter cycle. Try to convince seniors to cut back and to say "no" to free stuff.
Keepsakes represent history and memories. Encourage se-niors to take old photos to a family reunion and share with several generations. Let seniors know they can contribute to the history of their time and leave a lasting legacy by donating to museums and historical societies, a theater and library or churches and synagogues.
Stuff can become a misplaced companion. Loneliness may also lead to depression, which makes it difficult for seniors to get organized. Consider the services of a professional organizer and caregiver. For more information, go to the National Association of Professional Organizers at www.napo.net or visit www.homeinstead.com.
Other experts contributing to these tips include Katherine "Kit" Anderson, CPO-CD, president of the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization; University of Kansas Professor Dr. David Ekerdt, who is coordinating a "household moves" project to determine the role that posses-sions play in older people's housing decisions; and University of New Mexico Researcher Dr. Catherine Roster.

Fat Burner Series Week 4 ⋆ Ready...Set...Goal!!!
We are focusing on 5 more things this week and this will wrap up the Fat Burner series.
Sleep more: Studies show that when you are well rested you make better food choices, and you will be less likely to have sugar cravings. Adults underestimate the amount of sleep we need to function. There are tons of articles that can help you get into a better routine and I suggest that before you even change the way you eat, you change the way you sleep. Sleep deprivation leads to an increased desire for high calorie junk food, lowers your good decision making skills and makes you feel just crappy!
Increase your fasted time to 14 hours once a week: If you have been successful at going at least 12 hours between your last meal of the day and your first meal of the day, then you are ready to stretch it to 14 hours. If not, keep working on getting to 12 hours fasted, master that first. Remember, you should be sleeping for most of this time.
Up-level your eating environment: This means sit down! No standing, no watching TV, no doing homework. This key element is going to help you become even more mindful about your eating. You will be able to read your hunger scale better, you will feel more satisfied. Create a nourishing space by adding flowers, candles, even nice music. Really set the stage for a calm and positive experience. Turn off the electronics, put down the book and eat! Focus on putting your fork down between bites and chew your food at least 10 but as much as 14 times. Take smaller bites, it will make the meal last longer. Eat with your non-dominant hand. Think about where this food came from, how did it get to you, add a thought of gratitude for all that there is to be thankful for in how your meal arrived to your plate.
Make a push to eliminate more flour and sugar: If you have reduced your sugar and flour intake, it's time to push even more. Look again at some opportunities to remove sugar and flour from your eating protocol. Remember how concentrated and processed this food is and the high dopamine hit your brain gets when you eat it. That's the culprit behind the cravings and the urges. You can still have a planned treat every now and then that may include these ingredients, but as a rule, no Bueno!
Move your body: I waited this long to introduce exercise into the fat burning program for a very good reason. Becoming a fat burner starts in the kitchen and ends in the gym. I highly recommend moving your body and adding resistance training for a variety of reasons but first and foremost for the way that it makes you feel! You release positive and feel good hormones when you move in an active way. It makes you feel good and that's going to keep you motivated to make the best food choices.
You can transform your body through eating clean, moving your body and sleeping! Let me know if you have any questions or need additional encouragement.
Next Post What Are You Practicing Every Day?


This is a very interesting subject not UN-covered well in other Peak Oil commentary. The comment about Ruppert being delighted at the prospects is likely not an unusual thought - and the "why" might be even more interesting to explore than the subject itself.
1) It might be as simple as bordom. Kennedy delivered a very rare "national goal" of reaching the moon. Think about it - what goals exist now? People don't seem to be collectively working on anything - just their own personal survival - and it's borng.
2) People are much more eager to meet challenges than given credit for - and they might just want it to be a big one.
3) Just as "flying saucers" intrigue people because it would decidedly break the "routine" of the day to see one land, I think major calamities intrigue for the same reason.
4) People know we operate with very sick political and economically unsustainable systems. The idea that money became worthless would surely level the playing field - allowing the world to start over with everyone in the same class.
I think generally the best answer is regarding that bordom. We would like something major to happen that shifts power back to individuals, challenges us, and breaks the dreaded routine that seems to go nowhere except maintain status quo. Any sight of a major freeway leading to resort areas on a Friday evening indicates people are trying to escape structure and rules and routines. The lucky now are the ones who can climb to the top economically thus be able to afford to escape such structure, but people know that should be the rule for everyone, not the few - they want to break out of the endless structure, and some kind of total economic collapse might seem to some to be the only way such changes can ever happen.

Plus, there's something for everyone to enjoy with exciting excursions from Sunwing Experiences and their pick of family-friendly resorts as a home base while exploring the best Cayo Largo has to offer.
Families can look forward to dream getaways on Cayo Largo's boutique island paradise with five weekly direct flights on board Sunwing Airlines starting November 2022, from multiple gateways across Canada.
Plenty of family-friendly resort options
The island of Cayo Largo will be home to 11 resorts rebuilt or beautifully renovated and rebranded as Grand Memories Resorts & Spa, Memories Resorts & Spa, Starfish Resorts and Villa properties that families will love. The beachfront Starfish Cayo Largo offers family-friendly amenities including a kids pool and Baby Club for the little ones, plus a white-sand beach with clear, shallow waters that mini-vacationers won't get enough of. For added luxury during their stay, families can book a stay at Grand Memories Cayo Largo, featuring lavish amenities and Diamond Club room categories offering exclusive amenities and services for an elevated family vacation.
Discover the island's unique attractions
While Varadero gets much of the well-deserved acclaim, Cayo Largo is home to some of Cuba's most beautiful beaches. On the western side of the island, travellers will find the stunning shores of Playa Paraiso and Playa Sirena. These beaches are perfect for families with young children as the waters are very calm on this side of the island and the sand is soft, white and stretches as far as the eye can see. Cayo Largo also hosts exciting attractions including the village of Isla del Sol, which families can visit with the island's convenient tourist train, a fun experience for kids. There they'll find souvenir shops, entertainment, restaurants and a museum, plus the Sea Turtle Rescue Centre where the efforts being made to protect, rehabilitate and preserve these incredible animals can be learned at an early age.

Neumann University opened the Mirenda Center for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development on October 17, 2009. Located on its main campus in Aston, PA, the Mirenda Center features more than 72,000 square feet of space including an arena, classroom, meeting and event rooms, exhibits, offices, and athletic facilities.
Built in part through the generosity of donors to the Grow to Inspire Campaign, the Mirenda Center is designed to encourage learning, reflection, and prayer. It provides an educational environment that interweaves athletic, academic, social, and spiritual development. It serves to enhance the nationally and internationally recognized research and practice of the Institute for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development, which has been a core program and component of Neumann's campus since 1999.
The Mirenda Center is named in honor of Dr. Rosalie M. Mirenda, President Emeritus of Neumann University, and her husband, Tony, by the Board of Trustees in acknowledgement of the Mirendas' many years of hard work, dedication, and commitment to the Catholic Franciscan identity and mission.
No matter what the level of competition, each athletic experience or moment has the potential to evoke a sense of awareness and contemplation not often realized by sport participants and spectators. Winning, losing, injury and mistakes carry within them the precious gift of inspiration. It is up to the individual to recognize it, respect it, learn from it, share it and find God in it.
Here at Neumann University, our goal was to create a forum that offers a unique perspective on sports that is seldom explored. We hope this exhibit empowers visitors to move forward on their spiritual journeys with a sense of awareness, appreciation and wholeness that is too often lacking in athletics.

1979 Porsche 930 - Added by limegreenblur.yahoo.com on 29-Feb-2020
930, k-27, 10000 miles.
More Information on the Porsche 930
The Porsche 930 is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche between 1975 and 1989, known to the public as the 911 Turbo. It was the maker's top-of-the-range 911 model for its entire production duration and, at the time of its introduction, was the fastest production car available in Germany.
Porsche began experimenting with turbocharging technology on their race cars during the late 1960s, and in 1972 began development on a turbocharged version of the 911. Porsche originally needed to produce the car in order to comply with homologation regulations and had intended on marketing it as a street legal race vehicle like the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS. The FIA's Appendix "J" rules upon which the 911 Turbo Carrera RSR 2.1 was entered into competition in 1974 changed in 1975 and 1976. The FIA announced that cars for Group 4 and Group 5 had to be production cars and be available for sale to individual purchasers through manufacturer dealer networks. For the 1976 season, new FIA regulations required manufacturers to produce 400 cars within a twenty-four month period to gain approval for Group 4. Group 5 would require the car to be derived from a homologated model in Group 3 or 4. Porsche's Group 4 entry was the 934, homologated on 6 December 1975. For Group 5, Porsche would develop one of the most successful racing cars of the time, the 935. The 911 Turbo was put into production in 1975. While the original purpose of the 911 Turbo was to gain homologation for the 1976 racing season, it quickly became popular among car enthusiasts. Four-hundred cars were produced by the end of 1975. Since Porsche wanted to compete in the 1976 season, they gained FIA homologation for the Porsche Turbo for Group 4 in Nr. 645 on 6 Dec 1975 and the 1,000th 911 Turbo was completed on 5 May 1976.
Ernst Fuhrmann adapted the turbo-technology originally developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM car and applied it to the 3.0 litre flat-six used the Carrera RS 3.0, thus creating what Porsche internally dubbed as the 930. The car utilises a single KKK turbocharger.
Total power output from the engine was 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 329 N·m (243 lb·ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm, much more than the standard Carrera it was based on. The engine has a compression ratio of 6.5:1. In order to ensure that the platform could make the most of the higher power output, a revised suspension, larger brakes and a stronger gearbox became part of the package, although some consumers were unhappy with Porsche's use of a four-speed transmission whilst a five-speed manual transmission was available in the "lower trim" Carrera. A "whale tail" rear spoiler was installed to help vent more air to the engine and to create more downforce at the rear of the vehicle, and wider rear wheels with upgraded tyres combined with flared wheel arches were implemented in order to increase the car's width and grip, making it more stable.
Porsche badged the vehicle simply as "Turbo" (although early U.S. units were badged as "Turbo Carrera") and introduced the vehicle at the Paris Auto Show in October 1974 before putting it on sale in the spring of 1975; export to the United States began in 1976.
The 930 proved very fast but also very demanding to drive, and due to its short wheelbase and rear engine layout, was prone to oversteer and turbo-lag.
Porsche made its first and most significant changes to the 930 for 1978 model year, enlarging the engine bore by 2 mm (0.08 in) to a total displacement of 3,299 cc (3.3 L; 201.3 cu in) and adding an air-to-air intercooler. By cooling the pressurised air charge, the intercooler helped increase power output to 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 412 N·m (304 lb·ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm (DIN); the rear 'whale tail' spoiler was re-profiled and raised slightly to make room for the intercooler and the spoiler was now infamously called the 'tea tray' spoiler by the enthusiasts. The suspension benefitted from new anti-roll bars, firmer shock absorbers and larger diameter rear torsion bars. Porsche also upgraded the brakes to units similar to those used on the 917 race car. While the increase in displacement and addition of an intercooler increased power output and torque, these changes also increased the weight of the vehicle, especially the engine, which contributed to a substantial change in the handling and character of the car compared to the earlier 3.0-litre models.
Changing emissions regulations in Japan and the United States forced Porsche to withdraw the 930 from those markets in 1980. It however remained available in Canada. Envisioning the luxurious 928 gran turismo eventually replacing the 911 as the top of the Porsche model lineup, Fuhrmann cut back further development on the model, and it was not until his resignation that the company finally committed the financing to reregulate the car.
The 930 remained available in Europe, and for 1983 a 330 PS (243 kW; 325 hp) at 5750 rpm and 432 N·m (319 lb·ft) at 4000 rpm of torque performance option became available on a build-to-order basis from Porsche. With the so-called Werksleistungssteigerung (WLS, "Works Performance Increase") add-on came a quad-pipe exhaust system and an additional oil-cooler requiring a remodelled front spoiler and units bearing the add-on often featured additional ventilation holes in the rear fenders and modified rockers.
By the 1985 model year, 928 sales had risen slightly, but the question remained as to whether it would supersede the 911 as the company's premier model. Porsche reintroduced the 930 to the Japanese and U.S. markets in 1986 with an emission-controlled engine having a power output of 282 hp (210 kW; 286 PS) at 5500 rpm and 377 N·m (278 lb·ft) at 4000 rpm of torque. At the same time Porsche introduced targa and cabriolet variants, both of which proved popular.
Porsche discontinued the 930 after the 1989 model year when its underlying "G-Series" platform was being replaced by the 964. The 1989 models were the first and last versions of the 930 to feature the Getrag G50 five-speed manual transmission. A turbocharged variant of the 964 officially succeeded the 930 in 1991 with a modified version of the same 3.3 litre flat-six engine and a five-speed transmission.
Flatnose (Slantnose 930S)
Kremer Racing had originally begun offering conversion kits for 930 Turbo models which included front bodywork like the famous 935 race car in 1981. In 1982, TAG Heuer co-owner Mansour Ojjeh commissioned Porsche to develop a road-legal version of the 935 race car. The final product was developed using a body shell of the 930 and fitting fabricated 935 body panels to it. The one-off also had the suspension and brakes shared with the 935 race car. Other special features of the car included special paintwork called Brilliant Red by the manufacturer, BBS wheels and the use of the 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-6 engine of the 934 race car. The car proved very popular among enthusiasts and prospective buyers began to demand a similar car as a factory offering. Porsche offered a "Flachbau" ("flatnose" or "slantnose") 930 under the "Sonderwunschprogramm" (special order program) from 1986 model year, an otherwise normal 930 with a 935-style slantnose instead of the normal 911 front end with the replacement of the famous "bug eye" headlamps with pop-up units.
Each Flachbau unit was handcrafted by remodeling the front fenders (option code M505 for the US and M506 elsewhere). A limited number of units were produced due to the fact that the package commanded a high premium price, an initial premium of up to 60 per cent (highly individualised cars requiring even more) over the standard price. 948 units were built in total with 160 of them being imported to the US. The Flachbau units delivered in Europe usually featured the 330 PS (243 kW; 325 hp) WLS performance kit. The flat nose greatly contributed to the aerodynamics of the car and enabled it to accelerate from 0–97 km/h in 4.85 seconds and attain a top speed of 278 km/h (173 mph) (figures with the performance kit).
Independently tested performance data
Car and Driver recorded a 0–60 mph acceleration time of 4.9 seconds for both the 1975 and 1978 Porsche 911 Turbo, they shared first place in the magazine's "quickest cars of the 1970s" ranking with a 0.4 second lead.
TAG Turbo
In the 1980s, Porsche built twin-turbocharged 1.5-litre V6 engines for the McLaren Formula One team. The engine was given the code TTE P01 and was fitted in the McLaren MP4/2 and MP4/3 generating 760–1,014 PS (559–746 kW; 750–1,000 hp) depending on track conditions. The engine was financed by Luxembourgian holdings company Techniques d'Avant Garde (TAG), leading to the engine being branded as the TAG Turbo. A Porsche 930 Turbo was used as a test mule by McLaren in order to test the engine's capability. The car was exterior-wise similar to the standard 930 Turbo but featured Ruf sourced wheels instead of the standard Fuchs units, a taller whale tail rear spoiler in order to accommodate a large pair of intercoolers and a new front bumper. The changes to the interior consisted of racing bucket seats and a new TAG branded tachometer with a 10,000 rpm redline. English tuning company Lanzante introduced a new model based on the same principle at the RennSport Reunion VI. The company obtained permission from McLaren in order to produce the model and bought 11 of those engines originally installed in the F1 cars for this purpose from the manufacturer. Cosworth is tasked to restore the engines. Each of the 11 cars fitted with the engines would come with a plaque signifying the engine's race history, engine number and the car's production number. The Lanzante display car's engine was originally fitted in 1984 to Niki Lauda's MP4/3 in which he won the British GP.

Our children's ministry is designed to teach biblical principles to children from ages 3 to 12 years old. We focus on developing bible knowledge through traditional Sunday school lessons incorporating puppet skits, activities, plays, and biblical characters. Our aim is to build spiritual foundations in children through education so that they learn how to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ at a young age.


A CBD soap is not something I ever knew I needed. CBD? In a soap? What does that even mean?
I'd never even tried the buzzy oils that everyone is talking about, so I had no idea what kind of benefits it could offer in a beauty product. But after meeting Emily Heitman, chief marketing officer and chief operating officer of LEEF Organics, who introduced me to the brand's Nooks + Crannies bar soap, I became fully obsessed.
If you're new to CBD like I was, I suggest checking out this guide that'll give you the full rundown, but the quick version is that it stands for cannabidiol, a cannabis compound that can provide numerous health benefits — including relief from arthritis, anxiety, and insomnia, to name a few — without the psychoactive properties found in marijuana. So, in case you were wondering, washing up with this soap won't get you high!
LEEF Organics has four different Nooks + Crannies soaps, but the one I tried is the black chamomile bar soap. It's dusted with actual chamomile — and let me tell you, it smells AMAZING. The scent lasts around five to 10 uses, and it makes the entire bathroom smell like a spa. I love it as a soap alone, but as a bonus, it contains 20 milligrams of organic, whole-flower CBD extract.
The anti-inflammatory properties are why you should consider using skincare that contains CBD! This soap is great for all skin types, and it's even known to work wonders for calming down eczema.
Now for my favorite part: The simple paper packaging actually contains seeds, and if you plant it in soil, it'll grow organic, non-GMO tomatoes, since LEEF wants to make sure no part goes to waste. How genius is that?
The four different soap types are cucumber melon, white tea and ginger, charcoal and clay, and black chamomile, and each goes for $22. It's the perfect gift for yourself or a CBD-obsessed friend!

Q: How many calories are supplied by 1 teaspoon of sugar?
A: Sugar, whatever the source (brown, white) is similar in calories. Brown, unprocessed sugar just has a few more trace minerals, vitamins and is just a little better for you than white sugar.

An organization's operating culture is constructed through conversation and circumstance, supported by relationships and trusted networks. It can be augmented with collaboration technologies that encourage people to surface experiences and ideas across locations, internal systems, and topics. Information and insights scale through integrated platforms, systemic leadership traits and iterative approaches. It's time for both leaders and employees to become collaborative, both in terms of the technology and the behaviour. It's time for new and open leadership that uses technology not because it's cool, but because it fosters a cultural competitive advantage.
Do you know the cost of disengagement and its impact to your bottom line? Satisfied employees translates into satisfied customers. Culture can self-propel or self destruct. Culture is your competitive edge! CIOs can aid and abet engagement. Telus has leveraged collaboration technologies to raise employee engagement score from 53% to 83%.

HONOLULU — The State's monthly test of the Statewide Outdoor Warning Siren System using the Attention Alert Signal "Steady tone", coordinated with the test of the Live Audio Broadcast segment of the Emergency Alert System, is scheduled for Friday, September 1, 2017 at 11:45 a.m.
The siren test is a steady one minute tone on all sirens. The warning sirens are used to alert the public to any emergency that may pose a threat to life or property. The sound of the sirens is a cue for residents to turn on a radio or television for information and instruction for an impending emergency. Besides natural hazards, the Emergency Alert System could be used for terrorist incidents or acts of war.
Oahu residents in areas surrounding Campbell Industrial Park, Honokai Hale, Makakilo, Kapolei Regional Park, Kapolei Golf Course, and the Coast Guard Station at Kalaeloa may also hear a "whooping" tone following the siren test. This "whooping" tone is a test of the Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) siren warning group that will be activated in the event of a HAZMAT incident. Contact the City and County of Honolulu Department of Emergency Management at (808) 723-8960 for more information on the HAZMAT Incident outdoor siren warning test.
Tests of the outdoor warning sirens and the Emergency Alert System are conducted simultaneously, normally on the first working day of the month, in cooperation with Hawaii's broadcast industry. Emergency management and disaster preparedness information is located in the front section of telephone directories in all counties.

Q: Find real numbers that satisfy the equation
How many real numbers $x$ satisfy the equation $$\left(|x^2-12x+20|^{\log{x^2}}\right)^{-1+\log x}=|x^2-12x+20|^{1+\log{\frac{1}{x}}}$$

I'm not sure how to deal with the absolute value in the question above. I can count 3 solutions; One is  $2$ from the root of $x^2-12x+20$, and both solutions of $x^2-12x+19$.
Yet, I am told there are 6 real number solutions to the above. How can I deal with this problem?

A: Assuming tht your logarithm is the logarithm in base $10$, then forget the roots of $x^2-12x+20$; your equality becomes meaningless then. So, you have in fact four solutions: the roots of $x^2-12x+19$, which you have mentioned, plus the roots of $x^2-12x+21$. Also, $\frac1{\sqrt{10}}$ is a solution, since then $-1+\log(x)=-\frac32$, $\log(x^2)=-1$ and $1+\log\left(\frac1x\right)=\frac32$.


Regular WFMU listeners will be no doubt familiar with the concept of "industrial musicals", where a company promotes themselves or their products with a single, a full album, or in extreme cases a full-blown musical production. The album Product Music: Vol 1 is a collection of memorable examples of the industrial song. Because if you're not buying a company's product, perhaps a few listens to their new dance tune will change your mind!
I just came across an excellent cultural studies inflected post on WFMU titled "Product Music: music to shop by" . As the quote above suggests, Listener Jim offers up an assortment of 20 songs produced by various corporations to market their image in quite interesting ways. Below are three samples from the article that I found particularly inciteful. The first is "The New Generation" by Squibb Pharmaceuticals which is shamelessly attaching its product to the "new hope" that embodied the promise of the 60s (more evidence that this period in American history never happened!). The second is a little diddy from Exxon that scaffolds a brief history of oil. Finally, 7-11 dances the slurp -great stuff!


by Tricia Azra, RD, LDN We've all heard the catchy clams, such as "lose 10 pounds in 10 days", and we all know that coworker who is loading up on chicken and tuna, to build muscles, or your sister-in-law who is so happy she switched to agave syrup because it's more nutritious. Why are we so quick to believe in the next nutrition fad? Most of us want easy and fast solutions to problems that have taken years to develop. Even against common sense, we tend to believe what we want to hear. Nutrition myths can be more appealing to our senses than a common sense message. Just remember this catchy phrase, If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
For starters, the brown sugar sold at grocery stores is actually white granulated sugar with added molasses. Yes, brown sugar, honey, and agave may contain minute amounts of minerals. But unless you eat a gigantic portion of these sugars every day, the mineral content is absolutely insignificant. The sugar you choose should be more a matter of preference and always a matter of moderation. The idea that alternate sugars and white sugar have big nutritional differences is common nutrition myth.
We all need carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide important vitamins, minerals and fiber that our body needs. Carbohydrates are also the body's preferred fuel source. Therefore, eliminating carbohydrates will leave you feeling tired and sluggish. With that said, it is true that Americans tend overeat and add unhealthy fats to carbohydrate foods. When was the last time you ate a plain baked potato? To help your weight loss efforts, concentrate more on making healthy carbohydrate choices such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Avoid carbohydrates that are processed, fried or laden with unhealthy fats. When it comes to weight loss, it's more about the total amount and quality of the foods you choose to eat, and less about focusing on any one food group.
Building muscle requires a proper diet, a proper fitness regimen and proper rest. A proper diet for building muscle requires a positive energy balance, which means that you have to take in more calories than you burn. Your body cannot build muscle mass in the absence of calories. Within these calories, you will need the right amount of protein. Protein is vital in building and repairing muscle tissue, however protein needs are often widely overestimated. For a personalized nutrition regimen designed to meet your specific needs, consider speaking with a Registered Dietitian.
Myth #4: Detox diets are a great way to cleanse toxins from your body.
The idea that your body needs help getting rid of toxins is a myth. Your body has its own brilliant systems for removing toxins such as the liver, kidneys and spleen. Although detox diets are popular, they don't lead to long-term success and most people don't feel good on low-calorie, low-nutrient diets. Potential side effects include low energy, low blood sugar, muscle aches, fatigue, feeling dizzy and nausea. Detox diets seems to be a trendy "marketing term" used to sell books and supplements, making big promises with no real science to back it up.
Avoiding Gluten has become a popular nutrition trend. Some celebrities have endorsed gluten-free diets as a way to increase energy levels and lose weight. So what is gluten? And should you be avoiding it? Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and triticale. Gluten has amino acids that the body uses to build tissue such as muscles, skin and nails. Gluten is used in foods to give structure and mouth-feel to breads, pastas, cakes, cookies, muffins and cereals. Unless you are the 1% of the population that has Celiac disease, or gluten intolerance you do not need to avoid gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the body cannot digest the protein gluten. This leads to damage of the small intestines and nutritional deficiencies. A blood test is used to diagnose celiac disease. Gluten intolerance, on the other hand, may be diagnosed when abdominal distress, and fatigue, regularly occurs after consuming gluten, and when Celiac disease has been rule out. Many people who have Celiac disease do not know it. If you suspect you have trouble with gluten, don't self-diagnose, see your medical doctor.

Sarah Hyland Recalls Her Boobs Being Compared To "Mosquito Bites" In Candid Conversation
On Lady Parts, Sarah Hyland talked to Nicole Byer and Kym Douglas about the importance of breast health, while also comparing their experiences with their different sized chests.

Watch: Sarah Hyland & Wells Adams Share Wedding Update
Sarah Hyland isn't afraid to reveal she's a card-carrying member of the "itty bitty tittie community."
On the Oct. 28 episode of YouTube series Lady Parts—a show from the minds behind The Ellen DeGeneres Show—Sarah, OB/GYN Dr. Sherry Ross, comedian Nicole Byer and Home & Family host Kym Douglas spoke about their relationship with their breasts.
"I first started to develop breasts in the eighth grade," the Modern Family alum, 29, explained. "I don't know if you could really call them breasts, a lot of people called them 'mosquito bites.'"
And though Kym shared that she grew a bigger chest early on, Sarah said she had to use other measures to fill out. "I was late for some reason with my classmates," she said. "I stuffed my bra."
While Sherry explained that breasts don't stop developing until a person is in their early 20s, Sarah was disappointed. "I was hoping you'd say early 30s," the TV star joked. "Like, 'I still got some hope?'"
Sarah Hyland & Wells Adams: Romance Rewind
As for Nicole, she's more than happy with her smaller chest because it makes it easier to fit into clothes. Sarah, however, admitted that the "grass is always greener" for her when it comes to boobs. Still, while she may want a bit more than what she's got going on now, she doesn't want "massive boobs" either
16 and Pregnant Star Jordan Cashmyer Dead At 26
The conversation surrounding the pros and cons of bras and breast sizes was lighthearted, but the women did talk about something serious that affects millions of women each year: breast cancer.
Kym shared that she had a double mastectomy after small tumors were discovered in her chest during a separate surgery. Now, she encourages everyone to get annual mammograms.
"I did eight weeks of radiation," Kym explained after sharing that her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes have finally grown back. "I couldn't feel happier or healthier or more grateful."

1. Why do 911 operators ask so many questions when I call?
Call takers are trained to gather specific information to best determine the nature of the problem and its seriousness. This requires them to ask lots of questions, some of which may seem redundant or information you might assume we know. In the interest of safety for citizens and officers who would be affected, it is critical that the call taker gathers as much information as possible.
Rest assured, on emergency calls, the officer is most often already en-route to the scene while the 911 operator is still gathering facts. The clicking of the keyboard is a common background sound heard by callers as the operator enters the information into the computer aided dispatch database. This allows the dispatcher to radio the information the call taker is entering to the responding officers, in some cases almost simultaneously.
2. We suspect there are drug houses and dealers in our neighborhood. What can be done about it?
Communicate and let us know what is going on. By working together with the Police Department and, in some instances, our narcotics unit, deterring or correcting the problem can be accomplished. There are a couple of ways to let us know either directly or anonymously.
•	Central dispatch phone number to speak to a call taker and have an officer respond at 734-243-7070.
•	Dundee Police to have an officer return call or speak to one 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday – Friday at 734-529-3430. All other times central dispatch at 734-243-7070.
•	Give as much information as possible about the drug activity.
•	Give detailed descriptions of people and cars involved.
•	Report license tag numbers of involved vehicles.
•	Advise of addresses related to activity.
Whether the problem is street sales, frequent traffic in and out of residences at odd hours of the day, or you have concerns about a family member of friend, the Police Department wants to join you in the fight against illegal drug activity. Contact the Dundee Police Department Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. to see how you can get involved in the volunteer community policing effort in Dundee.

Class of 2012 Urged to Play a Key Role in Keeping Our Nation Competitive in the Global Economy
Echoing That Charge from Keynote Speaker Roger W. Ferguson Jr., President and CEO of TIAA-CREF, WPI President and CEO Dennis Berkey Urged the Graduates to Use Their Talents and Abilities to 'Address and Resolve' World Problems
Worcester Polytechnic Institute's (WPI) 144th Commencement ceremony was held today on the campus Quadrangle, where 1,077 degrees were conferred. In total, 718 bachelor's degrees, 340 master's degrees, and 19 PhDs were awarded. Several thousand attendees were on hand to hear the inspirational messages delivered by keynote speaker Roger W. Ferguson Jr., president and CEO of TIAA-CREF, and WPI President and CEO Dennis Berkey.
Honorary degrees were conferred upon Ferguson, Susan Windham-Bannister, president and CEO of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center; Nancy Hopkins, Amgen Professor of Biology at MIT; and Robert L. Norton, Milton Prince Higgins II Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at WPI.
Watch video highlights from the 2012 Commecement ceremony.
In his address to the graduates, Ferguson said, "Employers are thirsting for people like you. Even so, the value of a WPI degree is not just about jobs or salaries. In fact, it may sound radical, but getting a job is not really the purpose of going to college at all. Rather, college is about developing your human capital. You have done a tremendous job in developing your human capital here at WPI. Now, the question you face is: What are you going to do with that?
"Your education has given you a unique capacity for making an impact," said Ferguson. "You are doers. You are problem-solvers and innovators. You are inventors and entrepreneurs. You are leaders. You are the kind of people who can deliver the innovation and progress that will enable our economy to thrive again. Just as your predecessors at WPI helped fuel the Industrial Revolution in New England, you can play a key role in keeping our nation strong and competitive in the 21st century global economy."
President Berkey told graduates to set high goals and to use the skills they learned at WPI to meet and resolve the challenges and threats facing the world. "The degrees we award today symbolize an important public good of which this university is exceedingly proud," he said. "…in respect of the difficult world you are about to tackle, and especially in light of the economic and political calamities that have plagued the world throughout your college years, it is painfully evident that the world needs rebuilding—and shaping into a more stable, just, and sustainable form. You are well prepared for this ominous challenge and we know that you will play a great part in the rebuilding that must be done. In so doing, set no modest goals. You have experienced the thrill, power, and satisfaction of achievement at the highest levels. Let that be your lifelong quest.

Q: Arel and pgAdmin return different data from same query with condition on timestamp This is the most puzzling problem I ran into with PostgreSQL 9.1 and Rails 3.0.7. I am running Postgres and Rails 3 on the same Ubuntu 10.04 vbox guest:
"PostgreSQL 9.1.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc-4.4.real (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) 4.4.3, 32-bit"

May app needs to run a simple query based on created_at timestamp falls on a single day based on server's timezone. In my case,  Eastern Time. I have tried different variation of "with time zone"  and  "at time zone" and got it working fine in pgAdmin,  but not in Rails web site.
Here is the class method with ARel query.
def self.transactions2(business_id, begin_date, end_date )
trans = LogVouchers.select( %{
      created_at
  } ).
where( %{
     created_at >= ( TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE ? at time zone 'utc')::timestamp
    and created_at < (TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE ? at time zone 'utc')::timestamp
  },
     begin_date,
    end_date  )

end

Here is  the controller code:
  def voucher_transactions
    default_date = Time.zone.now.beginning_of_day

    @end_date = params[:end_date].blank? ? \
      Date.new(default_date.year, default_date.month,  default_date.day )  : \
        Date.new(params[:end_date][:year].to_i, params[:end_date][:month].to_i, \
        params[:end_date][:day].to_i)

    @begin_date = params[:begin_date].blank? ? \
      Date.new(default_date.year, default_date.month,  default_date.day )   : \
        @begin_date = Date.new(params[:begin_date][:year].to_i, \
        params[:begin_date][:month].to_i, params[:begin_date][:day].to_i)

    @data2  = LogVouchers.transactions2(business_id, @begin_date, @end_date + 1.day)
    ...
    end

Here is the actual SQL code  and debug inspection  in the rails log file:
      LogVouchers Load (0.7ms)  SELECT
 created_at
 FROM "log_vouchers" WHERE (
 created_at >= ( TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2012-04-28' at time zone 'utc')::timestamp
 and created_at < (TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2012-04-29' at time zone 'utc')::timestamp
 )

  ### 2012-05-01 21:18:04 -0400  voucher_transactions() @data2 =[
  #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 03:14:29">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 03:15:24">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 03:18:19">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 03:38:35">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 03:58:08">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 15:44:46">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 17:12:20">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 18:46:45">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 18:55:47">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 18:57:52">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 19:02:15">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 19:02:50">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 19:46:36">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 19:47:17">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 19:50:22">
, #<LogVouchers created_at: "2012-04-28 19:50:56">]

However, if I run the SQL code directly on a query window of pgAdmin, I got correct result:
"2012-04-28 15:44:46.641305"
"2012-04-28 17:12:20.615641"
"2012-04-28 18:46:45.277561"
"2012-04-28 18:55:47.40109"
"2012-04-28 18:57:52.616501"
"2012-04-28 19:02:15.542964"
"2012-04-28 19:02:50.888847"
"2012-04-28 19:46:36.16556"
"2012-04-28 19:47:17.084047"
"2012-04-28 19:50:22.672805"
"2012-04-28 19:50:56.376571"

Note that those 5 records with created_at around  "2012-04-28 03:14:29" at UTC  is not in the correct result set.
Now the most puzzling question:
How can Rails send the same SQL statement to Postgres database and get a different result?
I am obviously missing something here. Can any guru help out?
Additional Notes 2012-5-2
Background: The rails 3.0 by default generated  created_at  column in all db table as "timestamp without time zone" in Postgres. I need to run a daily report based on the time zone of my server, 'America/New York'.  Due to number of tables involved, I used ARel select method to join multiple tables and passed in begin_date  and end_date timestamps. I have difficulty to get correct result set returned. It should return records with UTC timestamps:
2012-04-28 04:00:00    to   2012-04-29 04:00:00

but it returned records with UTC timestamps:
2012-04-28 00:00:00    to   2012-04-29 00:00:00

What I can figured out is to change the class method:
def self.transactions2(business_id, begin_date, end_date )

st_tz_offset      =   Time.zone.now.formatted_offset(true)
st_begin_date_tz  =   "#{begin_date} 00:00:00#{st_tz_offset}"
st_end_date_tz    =   "#{end_date} 00:00:00#{st_tz_offset}"

trans = LogVouchers.select( %{
      created_at
  } ).
where( %{
     created_at >= ( TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE ? at time zone 'utc')
    and created_at < (TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE ? at time zone 'utc')
  },
     st_begin_date_tz  ,
    st_end_date_tz  )

end

Which in fact, tells Postgres to translate that timestamp with time zone into timestamp without time zone before comparing. And that worked for me. I know this is too complicated. I would very much appreciate someone pointing out a better way to achieve this.
Additional Note 2

*

*If possible, I would avoid changing default setting in Ubuntu/Linux server, Postgres server as it tends to cause other side effects.

*In the future,  these daily cutoff timestamps are based on the TimeZone setting of current_user instead of the TimeZone of server. Because users of same web app can be spanned over multiple time zones and the daily report has to make sense to respective logged in user.

A: Your expression depends on the local time setting. This:
SET  timezone = 'EST';
SELECT TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2012-04-29' AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';

returns a different timestamp than this:
SET  timezone = '-2';
SELECT TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2012-04-29' AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';

Obviously, you have a different time setting in the connection from pgAdmin than you have in the connection from ARel. Find out with:
SHOW timezone;

timezone is defined in postgresql.conf, but can be set to a different value at any time. You can reset it to the default with:
RESET timezone;

I explained the PostgreSQL handling of timestamps and time zones in more detail in this recent answer.
More about time zones in the manual.

If you want "midnight at UTC", use this expression instead:
SELECT TIMESTAMP '2012-04-29' AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';

Or simply:
SELECT '2012-04-29 0:0 +0'::timestamptz;

This returns the same internal value regardless of the timezone setting. It will displayed according to the local timezone, though. So with EST, you will see:
2012-04-28 19:00:00-05

Without time zone
According to your additional info, your table holds data of the type timestamp without time zone -  or simply timestamp, as the default is without time zone. And these timestamps are implicitly based on EST.
If you want to retrieve data for one day, starting at midnight, ending at midnight, independent of the time zone you are currently in, do not use the data type timestamp with time zone (or timestamptz) at all. Just use timestamp and everything is groovy. The server should get:
WHERE created_at >= timestamp '2012-04-28 0:0'
AND   created_at <  timestamp '2012-04-29 0:0'

Or:
WHERE created_at >= '2012-04-28 0:0'::timestamp
AND   created_at <  '2012-04-29 0:0'::timestamp

Or even just:
WHERE created_at >= '2012-04-28 0:0'
AND   created_at <  '2012-04-29 0:0'

If you want a different slice of the data depending at your current time zone, then the server should get this:
WHERE created_at >= '2012-04-28 0:0'::timestamptz AT TIME ZONE 'EST'
AND   created_at <  '2012-04-29 0:0'::timestamptz AT TIME ZONE 'EST'

The term '2012-04-28 0:0'::timestamptz AT TIME ZONE 'EST' calculates the time in New York (without time zone) when it is midnight locally.
Or you can calculate the timestamps in your app accordingly and use the above query without time zone.
