Q: How do I make my cygwin .xinitrc wait for the X server to exit? I'm using Cygwin's startx and want to customize my xinitrc so that I don't get any "magic" X programs on screen, i.e., programs that will cause the X server to terminate if I exit them.  I don't want any X programs to start up on screen at all, actually; I just want to use the XWin menu, customized from my .XWinrc .
Ordinarily from a .xinitrc, I would make the last line run the window manager.  Then I can exit X by exiting the window manager from its own provided interface.
In this case, though my window manager and my server are effectively the same process, because I am using the XWin server.  I don't have a windows manager to execute.  I am starting the server from my .xserverrc file:
exec XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

I can sleep at the end of my .xinitrc, in a loop:
while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
do
  sleep 10
done

But that seems inelegant.
I can wait for a child process, either by starting it up as the last line in my .xinitrc, or by starting it up earlier in the background and waiting for it explicitly with "wait {PID}".  But I can't wait for the XWin.exe process, because it is a parent process of my .xinitrc script, not a child process.
I can't start up XWin.exe at the end of .xinitrc; if I try, I get a different window manager apparently starting up, with XWin not in rootless mode, and then I get an immediate shutdown.
Is there a more elegant way to do this than sleeping in a loop?  Is there a way to start XWin from my .xinitrc and wait on it?  Is there a way to tell the .xinitrc shell script to simply wait and not exit, without sleeping, such that it will continue executing and do nothing until XWin.exe exits?  Is there something I should be starting in the background as the last line of my .xinitrc, so as to give me a process to wait on without starting up an X program?

A: So, summarizing from Ben Bullock's answer, the answer to "How do I make .xinitrc do this?" is "Don't!"  Never ask "How do I use X to do Y?" questions. :)  Skip startx/.xinitrc entirely.

Sexual Behavior
Education Report Roundup
By Jessica L. Tonn — September 27, 2005 1 min read
"Sexual Behavior and Selected Health Measures: Men and Women 15-44 Years of Age, United States, 2002," is available from the National Center for Health Statistics.
More than half of American teenagers say they have engaged in oral sex with a member of the opposite sex, according to a survey.
The survey—produced by the Hyattsville, Md.-based National Center for Health Statistics, a division of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta—found that among 15- to 19-year-olds, 55 percent of males and 54 percent of females said they had had oral sex. In that same age group, 36 percent of males and 39 percent of females reported having had vaginal intercourse.
The researchers surveyed 12,571 people between the ages of 15 and 44.

Hi friends! This pregnancy really took it out of me for the first 20 weeks or so, and now I feel (at 22 weeks) like myself. Or at least a rounder, slower, but still capable version of myself. Which is such a JOY, I'll take it! I'd heard from so many friends and moms that the second trimester is amazing, but I spent half of mine asleep! It took me a bit longer to shake off the first trimester fatigue but now that I have I see what everyone is talking about. And now that I'm awake the NESTING INSTINCT HAS HIT ME LIKE A TSUNAMI!!!! I'm in the kitchen so much and when I'm not I'm puttering around the house/yard and daydreaming about what our life will be like with another family member soon! It's such a special time, I'm soaking it up!!
Wash lettuce leaves, dry and place in a medium serving bowl.
Pit and slice stone fruit, spread over lettuce leaves.
In a small jar combine olive oil, vinegar, djon, honey, sea salt, and tarragon. Mix well to combine.
Drizzle salad with dressing, sprinkle with goat cheese and nuts. Top with fresh cracked pepper and enjoy!
I really like fruit salads. I might have spent better par of June eating strawberries with baby spinach, so this one will be a nice change. I'll need to test if I can make it a day before and take it as a lunch to work.
Wow, here the wonder full update by the blog online this is the very nice post so have to visit here for install the latest alarm clock by support the any version online so thanks for the given this article.

NMCG Signs Agreement for STP Development in Agra Worth Nearly 583 Crores
To reduce pollution in the Yamuna River through a basin-approach, the NMCG approved a project for the construction of Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) with a total capacity of 177.6 MLD, as well as other works such as developing Interception & Diversion (I&D) structures, I&D network laying, sewage pumping stations with 15-year operation and maintenance, and so on.
Shivam Dwivedi Updated 27 August, 2022 9:37 PM IST
Triipartite Concession Agreement Signed
A tripartite Concession Agreement was signed today at the NMCG office between the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), the Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam, and M/s Vishvaraj Environment Private Limited (VEPL) for the development of Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) for Agra under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) on August 25th, 2022. The contract was awarded for a total of Rs. 582.84 crores.
This project aims to address Agra's existing sewerage issues, which pollute the Yamuna River. After the project is completed, there will be no discharge of untreated sewage from Agra into the River Yamuna, reducing pollution load in the river.
G. Asok Kumar, Director General, NMCG, expressed his delight at the completion of the contract award process and stated that this project will be implemented under a Hybrid Annuity based PPP model and will ensure that the STPs are operated and maintained in accordance with stringent performance requirements.

G. Asok Kumar, Director General, National Mission for Clean Ganga, gave the keynote address and discussed the various steps being…
"This project will be another milestone in achieving the goal of preventing any untreated waste water from entering the River Yamuna, which is a major tributary of the River Ganga," Kumar added.
Raj Kumar Sharma, Superintending Engineer, UP Jal Nigam, Satyajeet Raut, Authorized Signatory, M/s. Vishvaraj Environment Private Limited, and Binod Kumar, Director (Projects), NMCG signed the Concession Agreement. During the signing ceremony, Himansu Badoni, Executive Director (Projects), NMCG, and Arun Lakhani, CMD, VEPL were also present, along with other state agency and concessionaire representatives.
"VEPL has always been involved in projects related to sustainability and the environment," Lakhani said. We are all aware of the social and health consequences of the sewage treatment project. This is a significant project for VEPL that will contribute to the Clean Ganga Mission. With the help of UP Jal Nigam and NMCG, we hope to complete the project on time."

Q: How to set NHibernate Linq fetch strategy through a façade layer I'm using NHibernate for data access, but accessing it through a façade layer. This layer consists of interfaces for the repositories, plus an IUnitOfWork interface which corresponds to the ISession object.
In order that retrieved entities are managed correctly, repositories are passed an IUnitOfWork in their constructor and the IUnitOfWork is used for the loading.
The IUnitOfWork contains a property called All, which retrieves all entities of the class as an IQueryable (for later filtering). Thus, a repository method to retrieve all entities created this year might look like the following:
NB: this is not the complete code for these interfaces and classes! Only the code relevant to my question.
IUnitOfWork interface:
IQueryable<T> GetList<T>();

UnitOfWork concrete class:
public IQueryable<T> GetList<T>()
{
  return _session.Linq<T>();
}

IFooRepository interface
IQueryable<Foo> All { get; }
IEnumerable<Foo> ThisYearsFoos{ get; }

FooRepository concrete class
public IQueryable<Foo> All
{
  get { return _unitOfWork.GetList<Foo>(); }
}

public IEnumerable<Foo> ThisYearsFoos
{
  get { return All.Where(x => x.DateCreated > new DateTime(2010,1,1);}
}

I would like to add functionality to specify fetch strategies so that related entities can be eagerly loaded. So let's say Foo has a property corresponding to another entity, Bar:
public class Foo
{
    public Bar {get;set;}
}

The mapping file specifies that Bar is lazy-loaded, but in my ThisYearsFoos repository property I would like to specify that Bar should be eagerly loaded to avoid N+1 selects.
In Linq to NHibernate we can specify eager fetching using the Expand() extension method. However, this extension method belongs to the NHibernateQueryable type, whereas the IUnitOfWork interface's GetList method only knows about IQueryable.
Clearly I don't want the IUnitOfWork interface to know about INHibernateQueryable since it is supposed to not know about NHibernate.
Using the design I have specified above, is there a way to do this that I haven't been able to think of? Or is my design in need of a rethink?
Thanks
David

A: Upgrade to NHibernate 3.x. The new method that corresponds to Expand (Fetch) operates on IQueryable.

A: You are saying some conflicting things:
- You don't want to expose interface
- You want to use the use that interface
That is impossible. You have to rethink your design.
You use the term unit of work for a different thing than most people do.
Most people would expect a unit of work interface to have the methods Commit and RollBack, but not some IQueryable.

Eleanor of Provence: Queenship in Thirteenth-Century England / Margaret Howell
Recent years have seen a blossoming of secondary literature on medieval queens and queenship, a development which owes much to the impetus provided by Pauline Stafford's path-breaking study, Queens, Concubines and Dowagers: The King's Wife in the Early Middle Ages (1983). Several essay collections, including J. C. Parsons ed., Medieval Queenship (1993) and A. J.
Margaret of Anjou: Queenship and Power in Late Medieval England / Helen Maurer
Margaret of Anjou, unlike most medieval queens, has been the subject of many biographies over the centuries but Helen E. Maurer's feminist approach to the queen's political life offers a substantially new presentation of Henry VI's queen.
Noblewomen, Aristocracy and Power in the Twelfth-Century Anglo-Norman Realm / Susan M. Johns
This exciting new study argues that medieval aristocratic women not only had power to exercise authority, but that they did so in different capacities depending on the times of their life cycle.
The Rituals and Rhetoric of Queenship; Medieval to Early Modern / eds. Liz Oakley-Brown, Louise Wilkinson
The Rituals and Rhetoric of Queenship; Medieval to Early Modern is a collection of papers which originated in a conference held at Canterbury Christ Church University in August 2006.
The Queen's Hand; Power and Authority in the Reign of Berenguela of Castile / Janna Bianchini
Berenguela of Castile (1180–1246) is a figure who is often overshadowed by her famous relatives, including her grandmother Eleanor of Aquitaine, her sister Blanche of Castile and her son Fernando III of Castile and León.
Queenship in Medieval Europe / Theresa Earenfight
Theresa Earenfight's new book, Queenship in Medieval Europe, stresses that the medieval royal court could be a woman's world as much as a man's.
Gender, Nation and Conquest in the High Middle Ages: Nest of Deheubarth / Susan M. Johns
Nest of Deheubarth, a 12th-century Welsh princess, has a presence well beyond academic history and interests. She was one of the most famous Welsh princesses and over the centuries has had a significant impact on Welsh history and identity.
The Queens Regnant of Navarre: Succession, Politics and Partnership 1274-1512 / Elena Woodacre
Elena Woodacre's book on the five female sovereigns of the medieval Pyrenean kingdom of Navarre is a timely study considering the latest scholarship on politically active queens in medieval Iberia. This scholarship on ruling women, however, has focused predominantly on individual queens.
Queenship in the Mediterranean: Negotiating the Role of the Queen in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras / Elena Woodacre
In the recent years, queenship has interested and fascinated numerous scholars.(1) While some queens, notably British and French ones, have already received interest from historians, this study is keen on shedding light on the female rulers of the Mediterranean.
Blanche of Castile, Queen of France / Lindy Grant
Lindy Grant's long awaited and magisterial (although here one particularly laments the lack of a gender-appropriate adjective) book offers us a biography of Blanche of Castile, the Iberian princess famously chosen by her grandmother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, to marry the son of Philip II of France, Lord Louis, the future Louis VIII.

The duel for Georgia's governor heats up
Posted Oct 19 2018 08:40PM EDT
Video Posted Oct 19 2018 07:22PM EDT
Updated Oct 19 2018 08:41PM EDT
ATLANTA - It is a race traditionally considered a slam dunk for Republicans in Georgia, but this time around is rated a toss-up, placing the duel for Georgia's next governor into the national spotlight.
Democrat Stacey Abrams is giving Republican Brian Kemp a run for his money with numerous polls showing the candidates within two points of each other.
The last Democratic governor in the Peach State was Roy Barnes elected in 1998, so many analysts suggest this race is an indicator of the changing political landscape in the state.
The race for Georgia Governor is a tale of two anti-establishment candidates, riddled with controversy. The once solidly red state is now considered to be in play.
On the right, Georgia's top elections official, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, captured President Trump's attention and endorsement in the primaries with his provocative campaign ads.
"I feel like we need a governor that's going to put Georgians first ahead of the special interest and the politically correct," said Kemp.
Kemp faces numerous lawsuits, both personal and in his official capacity. Most recently, people taking issue with the state's exact match law resulting in more than 53,000 voter registration applications listed as "pending" according to court documents.
"While my opponent out there is trying to suppress the vote…" said Abrams.
This is of particular concern to Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams who believes the key to flipping Georgia blue is appealing to new voters, the very ones she says are being disenfranchised.
"He is making it harder for Georgians to cast their ballots unnecessarily because he is tilting the playing field in his direction, that's wrong for Georgia and that's wrong for America," said Abrams.
Like many Democrats across the country, Abrams is putting health care at the on the top of her agenda. Kemp calls her plan to expand Medicaid, radical.
"That is the idea of people like Bernie Sanders, I mean literally that's what the socialists want," said Kemp.
A recent poll puts the candidates within two points though Kemp is consistently polling ahead of Abrams.
"If the party can build on her voter registration efforts, I think they can continue to move the state towards that purple column," said Robert Howard, Georgia State Political Science Professor.
Political analysts, including Howard, add if Abrams does inch out Kemp in November, it will cause a political earthquake. But regardless of the outcome on election night, Abrams has already made history as the nation's first black female major-party nominee for governor.

A Marsupilami francia televíziós rajzfilmsorozat, amelynek képregény eredetije 1952-ben jelent meg egy Spirou című magazinban. A Marsu Productions, és a Marathon Productions 2000-ben és 2003-ban animációs komédiát készített, amelyből 2 évad készült. Főszereplője egy David nevű kisfiú, a marsuk legjobb barátja. Franciaországban először 2000 és 2003 között a Canal J vetítette, majd 2009 és 2012 között a France 3 folytatta. Magyarországon korábban a Minimax sugározta, később a TV2 adta le.

Készítettek egy mozifilmet is 2012-ben Marsupilami nyomában címmel, amely valós díszletekkel élőszereplős, és 3D-s számítógépes animációs jelenetek kombinálásával készült.

Történet
A már kihalóban lévő Marsupilami állatfaj csak azt szeretné, hogy békén hagyják. Sok orvvadász próbál rájuk vadászni, de szerencséjükre a hatalmas eszükkel és humorukkal az állatfaj mindig megmenekül.

Az állatfaj
A Marsupilami kitalált állatfaj. A hímek és a nőstények egyaránt hosszú farkuk segítségével bármit elérnek. Az állat sárga bundájú, rajta fekete foltokkal (esetleg van folt nélküli sárga színű, és sötétkék-fekete színű). Az esze nagy és a humora is megvan ahhoz, hogy túljárjon a rá vadászó emberek eszén. A külseje leginkább a majoméhoz hasonlítható. Két lábon jár, ugrál a fák közt. A marsupilamiknak saját nyelve van, bár az ember csak annyit ért belőle hogy Houba, Houba.

Apple AirPods Pro vs Jabra Elite 75t: Best Earbuds For Listening Music
If you're looking for the best earbuds to take your music listening experience to the next level, you might be wondering whether to go for the Apple AirPods Pro vs Jabra Elite 75t. Both options offer great sound quality and feature innovative designs, but which one is right for you? Here's a closer look at the two sets of earbuds to help you decide.

3.2 Are AirPods or headphones better?
3.3 Is Jabra noise Canceling?
3.4 Are AirPods going out of style?
3.5 Is Sony better than Jabra?
3.6 What's the difference between Jabra elite active and Jabra elite?
What is Apple AirPods Pro?
Apple AirPods Pro is the company's first noise-canceling wireless earbuds. They feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which blocks out external noise, and Transparency Mode, which allows you to hear your surroundings.
The earbuds are also sweated- and water-resistant and come with three different sizes of silicone tips for a comfortable, secure fit. With these features, the AirPods Pro will surely be a hit with Apple fans.
What is Jabra Elite 75t?
The Jabra Elite 75t are truly wireless earbuds released in October 2019. They're compact and have an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, making them ideal for use during workouts. They have a great battery life, with up to 7.5 hours of playback on a single charge and 28 hours with the charging case.
The earbuds also support fast charging so you can get up to 1 hour of playback from a 15-minute charge. In terms of sound quality, the Jabra Elite 75t offers clear and balanced audio with good bass reproduction.
They also have a transparency mode that allows you to hear your surroundings, which is great for safety when running or biking outdoors. The Jabra Elite 75t is a great option for those looking for a well-rounded pair of wireless earbuds.
Jabra Elite 75t Vs Airpods Pro: Best Earbuds For Listening To Music
The Jabra Elite 4 Active are relatively small earbuds meant to sit within the ear folds with little protruding from the front. This common design in current wireless headphones is slightly smaller than Apple's versions with descending parts.
While intended for those who lead an active lifestyle, Jabra's design, like the AirPods Pro, depends on a silicone tip to keep it within the ear canal. This capability is not available on the second or third-generation AirPods, making them more prone to falling out of the ear when doing an activity.
The Elite 4 Active's longest length is 1.07 inches, with width and depth being 0.82 inches and 0.81 inches, respectively.
This makes the Elite 4 Active shorter than both versions of AirPods, which are 1.59 inches for Gen 2 and 1.21 inches for Gen 3. Jabra's earbuds are larger than the AirPods in the other two dimensions, measuring 0.65 and 0.71 inches for Gen 2 and 0.75 and 0.76 inches for Gen 3.
On the same two dimensions, the AirPods Pro is smaller, measuring 0.86 inches by 0.94 inches, but it is longer, at 1.22 inches.
In summary, Jabra's wireless headphones are shorter than all AirPods versions, yet they are around the same width as the AirPods Pro and wider than the AirPods.
Because the major width measurement of the Jabra pertains to the part held outside the ear, and only by a small amount, it only has a minor impact on how noticeable they are to passers-by. It's perhaps as obvious as the hanging part on the AirPods and AirPods Pro.
Jabra integrated IP57 sweat and water resistance. In practice, this means it has strong dust resistance and can withstand the impact of a 30-minute submersion in water at a depth of 3 feet.
On the other hand, Apple does not guarantee the second-generation AirPods against water or dust, but the Gen 3 and AirPods Pro have an IPX4 rating. This equates to water splash protection, which should be adequate for a sweaty workout but not tremendous volumes of wetness.
Jabra gives two years of water and dust failure guarantee protection after enrolling with its companion app.
Apple finally increased the battery life of the AirPods, raising it from 5 to 6 hours. The MagSafe charging case has a capacity of 30 hours and supports both wireless and rapid charging, allowing for up to an hour of use on a 5-minute charge.
The battery life of the Elite Active 75t is more adaptable, lasting between 5.5 hours (ANC on) and 7.5 hours (ANC off), depending on how you use the buds. Jabra's charging case has a capacity of 28 hours. While the regular version does not allow Qi-enabled wireless charging, another version is available for $59 as part of a bundle (revisit the Amazon bargain we previously noted) (opens in a new tab). On a 15-minute charge, a rapid charge gives you 1 hour.
The Elite Active 75t boasts a well-designed control scheme that includes multipurpose buttons, on-ear detection, and digital assistance (e.g., Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa, Bixby). On all four, functionality is responsive. Jabra's MyControls feature also simplifies the assignment of functions to any input method. Nothing, however, surpasses Apple's Force Sensors and "Hey Siri" voice activation. These, as well as the new skin-detect sensors for auto-pause/play, work perfectly.
The AirPods 3 have "strong bass and crisp, pure high frequencies" thanks to Apple's new low-distortion driver, while Adaptive EQ balances the sound by altering frequencies to hear music more accurately. Furthermore, under iOS's Sound settings, you may modify the sound by choosing from over 20 presets.
The killer feature is Spatial Audio with head-tracking. Apple's 3D sound technology adds multi-dimensional audio and clarity to certain materials, and it arranges sound by the direction your head turns for an immersive listening experience. Yes, it works just as well on these buds as on the AirPods Pro.
The Elite Active 75t may not have the same cutting-edge audio technology, but it produces lively sound. Bass is prominent, generating powerful lows, clean treble, and startling highs. When listening at a high level, distortion does not occur, a problem that Jabra addressed in earlier upgrades.
You may also customize the soundstage in a variety of ways. MySound creates a sound profile matched to your hearing using adaptive sound technology. The companion app's EQ allows you to choose from a few well-designed presets or create your
sound profile manually, tweaking the frequency levels. Music and movies sound fantastic on these buds, but Spatial Audio gives the AirPods 3 the auditory advantage.
The Elite Active 75t is the company's most appealing innovation, measuring 22% smaller than its predecessors and displaying both fashionable and durable characteristics. The two-tone hues and matte finishes are lovely additions, and the IP57-rated shell protects the buds from dust, sweat, and water. We like the little charging case, which is handy and comfortable.
Apple's long-stem design has never been our cup of tea, while we recognize its utilitarian virtues and advancements with each subsequent generation. The AirPods 3 are 33% smaller than the AirPods 2, with shorter stems and Force Sensors and additional elements like an extra mic grille on top and a larger sound port. Even the charging case has been reduced in size, like a scaled-down version of the AirPods Pro case. The overall package is stylish but not as stylish as the competition.
Apple improved the open form of the AirPods 3 by making the sound port more ergonomic, allowing it to rest snuggly on the concha and nestle into the canal, albeit it does not fully implant. This causes slippage. The buds make a tight seal around the canal since the Elite Active 75t comes with tips. Jabra's tips also have surprisingly strong perspiration absorption, keeping the buds in place even when wet. Each type is comfortable to wear for long hours, with the Elite Active 75t having the benefit of a superior fit.
Call quality
Only one of them is on our list of the finest headphones with a microphone for voice and video chats. That would be the third generation of AirPods. Aside from offering the series' signature clear-sounding call quality, Apple went above and beyond to maintain consistency, using acoustic mesh on the mics to prevent background and wind interference and the AAC-ELD speech codec for HD voice quality for FaceTime conversations.
The Elite Active 75t is a good talking headset for indoor conversations and video chats, in our opinion. Conversations were loud and clear, albeit people on the other end may sometimes hear background noise.
Jabra followed in the footsteps of Apple and designed a small and squat casing for its earbuds. The exception is the second-generation AirPods, which have a higher and typically slimmer casing.
Jabra has created the group's longest case, measuring 2.52-inches longer than the 2.39-inch length of the AirPods Pro, 2.14-inch length of the third-generation AirPods, and 2.11-inch height of the second-generation.
Overall, it's a pretty small case, with a height of 1.53 inches, somewhat shorter than the 1.74-inch width of the Gen 2 AirPods case, the 1.83-inch height of the Gen 3 case, and the 1.73-inch height of the AirPods Pro case.
Apple retains a smaller case design overall, with both AirPods cases measuring 0.84 inches and the Pro case measuring 0.85 inches. The thickness of Jabra's casing is 1.12 inches.
The Jabra case has very little wasted space in terms of how the earphones fit in. Its flatter top and base may allow it to be set up on a desk more than the more spherical AirPods cases, but it appears to be a highly pocketable case.
The earbuds connect through Bluetooth, with Apple favoring Bluetooth 5.0 and the Elite 4 Active supporting Bluetooth 5.2. While Bluetooth 5.0 is still fully functional, Bluetooth 5.2 is more efficient, pairs quicker, and includes low-energy capabilities such as LE Audio.
Because of the integration into operating systems, the AirPods and AirPods Pro are easier to connect and utilize within Apple's ecosystem. Because Jabra lacks this feature, you must use the companion app to change your earbuds.
Jabra has a little greater presence on Android. You must use the companion app to make adjustments, much as on iOS. However, certain advantages exist, such as utilizing Alexa or activating Spotify Tap.
There's also Google Fast Pair functionality, which means the Elite 4 Active may instantly connect to and operate on an Android device.
Both earphones provide high-quality music, although Jabra has a little advantage. This might be because of the seal that was placed in your ears. The open design of the AirPods gives them a slight airiness, unlike the tight seal of the Jabra.
Although Jabra vs Airpods offer better-sounding earbuds in their lines, they sound decent for the price.
The Jabra, however, has customizable EQ, which we like. You may adjust it yourself or pick from various presets ranging from "rock" to "speak."
ANC on a budget
Compared to Apple's audio portfolio, Jabra's offering is quite good. It addresses the flagship ANC and Transparency features of the AirPods Pro while remaining cost-effective.
It's so cheap that it even undercuts the previous version of AirPods in pricing. Jabra isn't regarded as a premium audio brand. Therefore the price is virtually always going to benefit Jabra.
Its earphone battery life is also a plus, as it allows for extended durations of use before needing to be recharged. It's not as fast as Apple for rapid charging, but it's still acceptable, especially if you leave your earphones to charge for a lengthy time between usage.
What the Elite 4 Active lacks in comparison to the AirPods is interaction with Apple's ecosystem since you must utilize the companion app to alter or change settings. Apple's advantage will always be usability and connection. Along with wireless charging.
However, ANC is a really strong function to include in earbuds. Apple would come out on top if we only compared the Jabra with the comparably priced second-generation AirPods without accounting for ANC.
The addition of ANC makes the Jabra Elite 4 Active a more appealing purchase than the second-generation AirPods. The $60 price gap may push price-conscious customers away from the third-generation AirPods and toward the Jabra Elite Active 75t vs Airpod Pro.
In the case of the AirPods Pro, users may notice that the Elitepods earbuds offer ANC for less than half the price of Apple's premium headphones. AirPods Pro must compensate for the $130 price difference through extensive integration with iOS and iPadOS, wireless charging, and the Apple brand itself.
On paper, it appears to be a bit of a stretch to buy AirPods Pro for double the Jabra Elite 4 Active price, especially if you're seeking ANC on a budget.
There are flaws, but it's simple to ignore them at this price point to save a few dollars.
Jabra's product is priced at $119.99 and comes in three colors: black, navy, and mint.
Apple's AirPods Gen 2 with the default case cost $129, but the Wireless Charging Case is available for $79 as an add-on. Because this raises the overall price to $208, most people who desire wireless charging will likely opt for the third-generation model.
The third-generation AirPods cost $179 and come included with the MagSafe Charging Case. AirPods discounts are frequently available, with double-digit reductions on all models.
The AirPods Pro with MagSafe Charging Case is $249.
All AirPods versions are white. However, they come with complimentary case engraving.
Apple Wired EarPods vs AirPods Wireless
Raycon Earbuds Vs Airpods
Are Jabra earphones any good?
They are typically well-made, work with the Jabra Sound app, and offer multi-device connections. Their call-focused headsets offer stronger microphones than other Bluetooth competitors, and some models are even among the finest Bluetooth headsets for phone conversations we've tested.
Are AirPods or headphones better?
Headphones outperform earbuds at the same price point in terms of audio quality. Earbuds have substantially less space for internal components. Thus design is important. Earbuds can also be painful for certain people, depending on how they fit in their ears.
Is Jabra noise Canceling?
Jabra Evolve 75
A wireless headset with improved Active Noise Cancellation and an integrated busy light is included to boost work. Evolve 75 features a wireless range of 100ft/30m and a dual Bluetooth connection to two devices.
Are AirPods going out of style?
This is how and why. Apple may have reason to be concerned: its AirPods are losing favor with younger generations. These customers like wired headphones. Yes, classic items are returning due to celebs like Lily-Rose Depp and Bella Hadid.
Is Sony better than Jabra?
The Jabra is more comfortable, has better controls, and has a much smaller casing with the same total battery life. They also perform better in terms of noise isolation. On the other hand, Sony has a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer.
What's the difference between Jabra elite active and Jabra elite?
The Elite Active 75t is a sports-oriented model of the Elite 75t that has a higher IP certification for better water resistance. The Active 75t has a slightly better microphone performance and a more premium-looking matte coating, but they're identical earbuds.
The Jabra Elite 75t are better headphones than the Apple AirPods Pro in several ways. They have a more comfortable fit, better sound quality, and longer battery life.
However, the AirPods Pro has some advantages too. They're easier to use with an iPhone and have active noise cancellation. The Jabra Elite 75t is the best choice for most people. Thanks for reading this article.

The Theory of "Scribal Freedom"
In the summer I made some transcription of the popevki given in Grigor'ev. You can probably guess that this sort of thing progresses slowly, as I don't have the necessary fluency in reading krjuki (thus I could complete only a minor portion of Tone 1). Last week I finally printed the Osmoglasie znamennago rospeva by Metallov (at www.seminaria.ru), to discover that many of the popevki given by him appear to differ considerably from Grigor'ev's. But this is not the primary issue here.
This and some other incidents have made me to suspect that the heirmoi of Znamenny Chant in Synodal chant books are based on different chant forms from those in the common Old Rite tradition (if such a common tradition exists). The differences are subtle, but as a result, the Synodal versions or some of them seem a bit awkward (not so well flowing) in places - and this doesn't appear to have been be caused directly by the text reform.
However, for the heirmoi, the Synodal books appear to agree with each other (we know that they were taken from a staff-line manuscript, submitted by Bishop Gavriil Petrov of Tver), and there aren't too many independent sources available in staff notation. But I was certain that something would exist. And yes, the Resurrectional heirmoi given in Potulov's Rukovodstvo are not drawn from the Synodal books. Unfortunately, he doesn't specify his sources.
I ask you to take a look at Potulov's heirmoi (pp 251-291). Are they closer to Old Rite versions than the Synodal ones are, or is my impression baseless?
First of all, I wish to make a disclaimer that this is not intended as a scholarly paper destined for any journal. This is a response to a letter, with an attempt to describe one of my many theories, and for this goal I have pulled all this information out of my memory.
I have never really given this matter a lot of thought in the past, but in the past couple years, as a result of living in an Old Believer community that has follows the later "Type A" chant book tradition, I have begun to consider a number of possibilities to explain why the earlier "Type B" (my own tradition) and the later "Type A" traditions are different.
It is one thing to observe the differences and make conclusions (i.e., HOW they differ). Specifically, the notation was reformed, the repertoire of melismatic passages (Fity and Litsa) was reduced to a "manageable" number, the vocalization of hard and soft signs (the old semi-vowels) was eliminated in order to conform with the current pronunciation of Slavonic, the use of "anenaiki" and "khabuvoe penie" (nonsense syllables, equivalent to "teretismata" in Greek) was eliminated, and the chant repertoire was more logically consolidated into separate volumes.
But it is another thing to understand WHY they differ. I think musicologists (myself as well, at least until the past year or so) have been deluded into assuming that there is one monolithic original chant tradition in East Slavic antiquity which can be recovered if we do our research right. Perhaps this is true, but just like God confounded the people at the Tower of Babel and caused them to have different tongues and to disperse, I believe that with the regional dispersal of the primitive or "proto-Znamenny" tradition, the chant began to take on different regional variations, which now have solidified into identifiable groups, all of which are obviously related when one compares them.
1) Novgorod school (Type C), which I believe is the primary source for the "Type B" manuscripts preserved by the priestless Old Believers (Pomortsy, Fedoseevtsy, etc.). The Novgorod tradition seems to have been fairly conservative with adhering to older chant melodies and repertoire.
2) Moscow school (Type C), which differs from the Novgorod school by being somewhat more melismatic and lengthier. I have been unable to confirm the precise details of the Moscow tradition, but we do know that in the mid-1500s Tsar Ivan IV (the Terrible) brought some of the leaders of the Novgorod singing schools to Moscow and set them up in the Alexandrov Suburb to form the Moscow school of chant. There were many gifted chanters and composers, and the Muscovite chant repertoire was greatly expanded and reorganized. There are also some identifiable spin-offs, including the Put' chant and the Great Chant (these are now mostly forgotten, but still exist in many chant books, some of which are still decipherable).
3) Southern Russian school(s) (Type C). This is an area which is very difficult to document because so few musicologists have done adequate research (or at least such research has not been made readily available to those of us who live in the West). There is no doubt that the Southern and Southwestern Znamenny chant traditions are derived from a common ancestor as the Novgorod and Muscovite schools, but just how, where and when are details which need more study.
1) The surviving offspring of the Novgorod school seems to be the current "Type B" tradition of manuscripts, which are essentially the "Type C" chant books with Ivan Shaidurov's red marks (pomety) added, and with subtle neumatic reforms to achieve consistency.
2) The surviving offspring of the Moscow school seems to be the "Type A" tradition of manuscripts (currently used by the priested Old Believers), and slightly variant forms preserved in the Synodal square-note chant books published by the dominant (post-Nikonian) Russian Church.
3) Among the surviving offspring of the Southern Russian school(s) are the Kievan Chant, the Uzhgorod, Mukachevo and Preshov traditions of Carpatho-Rus, and the Galician Chant.
a) Guslitskaia tradition. I'm not too knowledgeable of this tradition, but I suspect that this is the nomenclature for the current singing tradition which is preserved by the Old Believers of the Nizhnyi Novgorod region.
b) Kazan Chant. This is preserved in a few manuscripts, but is not completely decipherable.
c) Usol tradition. I know little of this tradition, but a husband-and-wife team at one of the major universities in Russia has been researching this tradition and publishing materials about it. I have not been able to obtain these materials yet.
e) Semeiskii tradition. This is the oral tradition of the Old Believers in the Zabaikal region of Siberia. Several musicologists have done a lot of work making field recordings of these people, but I have yet to see any written description or analysis of this tradition.
f) Valaam tradtion. This is a partially oral tradition preserved by the monastic communities of the Valaam monastery and the surrounding area. It tends to simplify the Muscovite tradition, smoothing out the complexities of the melodies, and mixing in later chant repertoires.
After looking at the "greater picture" which I just summarized, we can now begin to examine the situation which my colleague Jopi described from the perspective of "where does this fit in?". I suggest that the reasons we see considerable differences between the Type A and B Hiermoi are because of their lineage through the divergent chant schools. The "received" manuscripts differ in many details, including subtle variations of melodies and different arrangements of texts.
The Southwestern variants of Znamenny are wildly "unstable" because of the complex conditions that existed in the region (contact with the Unia, political and cultural pressures from Poland and Muscovy, suppressed educational systems, etc.). While most of the chants are obviously related to a simpler and older form of Muscovite Znamenny Chant, it seems that few manuscripts were exactly alike. This lack of uniformity is difficult to explain, but I suspect that the answer is connected with the process of transcribing the melodies directly from Type C neumatic notation to Kievan square-note notation - in different places and times, and by scribes who made no attemps to coordinate their efforts.
The Type B tradition is currently very stable and consistent (thanks to the scribal tradition of the Vyg Monastery in northern Russia and its surviving communities in Moscow and the Urals).
In the past few years I have come to observe many subtle differences among the Type A chant books used by the priested Old Believers. There are the books printed by Kalashnikov, Morozov and Metallov - each of which exhibit numerous differences in the melodies. Some melodies are the same, some have subtle differences, and some have been re-worked entirely. Occasionally one will even find a completely different musical setting of a text. This startled me at first, but I am starting to make some interesting observations and conclusions from all this.
Then we have to see how the surviving examples of Znamenny chants in the Synodal square-note books correlate with the Type A books. Beyond the obvious differences caused by the adaptation of melodies to the reformed texts, we can observe that some passages are completely different in unexpected ways, as if the musical arrangers found a passage too difficult to adapt and simply adapted a different "popevka" (stock musical phrase) from the same Tone.
In conclusion, I theorize that the editors of the Synodal square-note chant books used only a few "original" neumatic sources for the production of these volumes, or were forced to select whatever they could lay their hands on at the time (which was more than a century after the Nikonian Reforms). (Obviously they did not have the resources to produce definitive editions, making note of variant passages in other sources. They needed to produce books that encouraged uniformity, and so we have only what they chose to give us.) Potulov, then, was able to make use of a different set of manuscripts than the ones used by the Synodal Press, which would account for the many subtle differences in his variety (and interpretation) of Znamenny Chant. Moreover, after examining the Solovetskii Ochtoechos, which amazingly is in Type A neumatic notation with reformed texts, one can see yet again another set of variations in the Znamenny melodies.

Board members get OK for Florida trip
Barbara Polletta
RAYMOND — Two School Board members will attend a national conference in Orlando, Fla., at the end of next month.
Tickets have already been bought for Ann Caron and Steven Sloan to attend the National School Board Association annual conference in Orlando March 27 through March 30.
The total cost of about $3,080 will be covered by funds slated in the district budget for "staff development," according to Superintendent James Turbeville. This is because the line item allotted for School Board expenses - an annual amount of $6,494 - is in the red by about $2,000, according to district officials.
"That is a line that is over-expended every year, and we are working at the budgeting process to get more realistic figures in place," Turbeville said.
The School Board expense money typically covers things such as training, mileage, and dues to organizations, purchasing award plaques, or bereavement flowers.
Turbeville said the funds for the conference can be taken out of staff development because school board members are paid about $1,500 for their services to the district, and therefore qualify as paid staff.
No School Board member has attended the national conference during the last few years, perhaps ever. Turbeville said that to his knowledge this will be the first time that Raymond will be represented at the Orlando conference.
Caron said that given the district's history, she knew there might be some concern about board members attending an event in Florida.
That controversial history is based on the school district's decision to send 13 faculty and staff members to a literacy conference held in Maui, Hawaii, in July 2002. Initially, Turbeville defended the Hawaiian conference, but later said that though everyone learned a great deal, he would not make the same decision again.
In this instance, Turbeville said he was not involved in the decision process, only to see if funds were available.
"When board members make requests, we find a way to accommodate them," Turbeville said.
Caron said she stands behind her decision to participate because she believes there is much to be learned at the conference.
"People want leadership from their school board and that's what we are trying to do. We are doing this to learn how to be better at what we do," Caron said. "It's a good thing for the school board and a good thing for the district. I wouldn't do it if I didn't believe that."
School board members from around the country attend the NSBA national conference. Attendees can choose from more than 200 workshops to attend, which run from 8 a.m. until early evening. Each workshop lasts a little more than one hour and subject matter includes how to promote student achievement, raising school standards on a shoestring budget, and understanding No Child Left Behind.
Caron said she has enrolled in those and several other workshops because they are of key interest to issues within the Raymond district.
Resident Ann Holt, grandmother and guardian to a special-needs child, contends that when she arranged for the School Board to receive free training on special-education law earlier this school year, nobody was interested.
"It upsets me to hear board members say that this includes training on special-education law, which they need, when they could have had an overview personally provided for free and nobody wanted to participate," Holt said. "I think this conference is something the district cannot afford right now. It is unbelievable."
Caron said she plans to attend as many of the workshops as she can fit into a day, and has no plans to attend any of the tourist attractions.
"I don't see us doing anything extracurricular while we are there. We probably won't get to see the light of day," Caron said. "If I wanted to go to Disney I would go with my family."
Sloan could not be reached for comment by press time. He and Caron will fly from Manchester Airport on Southwest Airlines on March 27. The round-trip tickets cost $306 each. While in Orlando the board members will stay at the Royal Pacific Hotel, several miles from the conference site, at a total cost of about $602 for each room. A conference fee of $585 each is included in the package, along with costs of about $95 for a rental car.
School Board members attended New Hampshire School Board Association training earlier this school year. As with those events, a presentation of what was learned from the training will be made to fellow board members upon return from the Orlando conference.

University Roadshow 2019—2023
Sime Darby Plantation Research Crowned Winners at IChemE Malaysia Awards 2022
Enzyme Application at Diluted Crude Oil, Sime Darby Plantation Research Sdn Bhd
As the world transitions into a low-carbon or carbon neutral economy, businesses are driven towards ensuring that their processes and production comply to relevant environmental and sustainability standards. Sime Darby Plantation (SDP) has long committed to sustainable practices and continue to play a leading role in shaping a sustainable future for the palm oil industry. Through its research and development initiatives, both direct and indirect environment as well as sustainability targeted outcome have been achieved in the past. One of the innovative breakthroughs in milling process efficiency improvement is a process developed by Sime Darby Plantation Research (SDPR) and Novozymes, an enzyme developer, on the application of bio-based enzymes to enhance oil recovery. The combination of a bio-based raw material and the expected increase in oil recovery aligns well to the overall objectives of sustainable operations and carbon neutrality.
The enzymes in this innovation are designed to release trapped residual oil in unbroken cells that are found in the process fluids arriving from the mill's press operations. The enzyme features thermophilic properties that enables dosing into the Diluted Crude Oil (DCO) prior to entering the Vertical Clarifier Tank (VCT). The key highlights of the innovation, apart from the enzyme design, is the standalone dosing system that consist of an enzyme skid, dosing pump, an inline mixer and an automated process management system that ensures optimum dosing rates and data analysis with minimal human intervention. The enzyme treatment operates on a four to six hour targeted "process window" that is available between the dosing point and separation process in the VCT. The outcome is the realisation of additional free oil at the top layer of the VCT and reduced amount of trapped oil in the emulsion layer and tank underflow. The process can be easily adopted due to relatively low investment cost on the retrofits required to the existing milling process.
Implementation of the enzyme programme has been carried out on a commercial scale at SDP oil mills since 2020. The measurement of success of the programme is in the oil extraction rate (OER) achieved at the respective mills. To date, average OER increments of 0.72% have been recorded for the 10 SDP mills installed with the dosing system. Revenue generation from the dosing programme is estimated at RM6.0 million/mill/year for SDP and, potentially RM2 billion/year, if deployed in all oil palm mills in Malaysia.
On top of owning the intellectual rights (IP) of the current enzyme dosing system, SDP continues to develop solutions to enhance milling processes, especially on the use of enzymes with robust features such as temperature tolerance or satisfactory effectiveness at lower temperature environments. The enzyme application methods would also require further R&D work to explore effectiveness at the different milling process stages.
Recently, the SDPR bio-enzyme team was acknowledged for their efforts in the enzyme development programme at SDP. The team received IChemE Malaysia's awards in two categories: palm oil and sustainability. As local winners of the award, SDPR is automatically shortlisted as one of the contenders representing Malaysia for the Sustainability Award at the IChemE Global Awards which will be held in Manchester, UK, on 17 November 2022.
The award is a recognition and at the same time, a motivation for the team to continue its journey towards rolling out more R&D initiatives that will realise larger sustainable and environmental goals for SDP. It is a privilege and honour to represent Malaysia and the palm oil industry at an international event.

Depression is an infectious disease. It is easy for psychological therapists (especially if relatively inexperienced) to become contaminated by patients' hopelessness. Therefore supervision should include a focus on the therapist's own thoughts and feelings. Therapists with a substantial proportion of depressed clients should also ensure that they leaven their day by planning life-enhancing and pleasurable experiences, and should be prepared to use cognitive-behavioural methods to address their own negative thoughts.

So what changed? I've enjoyed photography since I was a kid, but in the last couple of years I have renewed interest and the digital cameras and editing software available these days are very good. I've also found it to be a fun distraction at the end of the day. I can get into rush hour traffic, or I can take to the street, get in a walk and snag a few photos along the way. Both the popularity and simplicity of the instagram app have made it interesting as well. We all have phones practically glued to us.
Below are the 2015 stats by the numbers. From virtually no posts at the end of 2014 to 246 posts as I write this. Stats courtesy of the https://squarelovin.com website.
The photos you see along with this post are the ones that have turned out to be the most popular (at least by way of 'like' counts) during the course of the year. The bicycle shadow with leaves was the most popular. And it should also be obvious that Austin folks and myself really like the Austin skyline. We do have a beautiful city.
I'd like to keep the same pace of posting next year but time will tell. This is most definitely a hobby and then there's the real life & job.
Just when I think our fall color for the year is gone I run across a bit more while out and about today. As my earlier note suggested, we can see spurts of color emerge from Oct to Christmas around here. It's just rarely a whole lot at once. When I spot it, I admire it and if I'm lucky enough to have a camera handy I'll snag a shot. Today was one of those days. I noticed this at the intersection of Hwy 2222 and Hwy 360 earlier this afternoon. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but it's one of the few species this year with brightly colored leaves. Can anyone tell me?

Q: Which code to use to capture picture(s) from a video on Android (Phonegap) I am developing an app on Android (Phonegap) in order to capture pictures from a video.
My code below is working for a web page but not with Phonegap. I just see a black rectangle on my app.
Is it possible to take a snapshot of a video with Phonegap?
var video = document.getElementById('video');
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');

function snap() {
    context.fillRect(0,0,150,100);
    context.drawImage(video,0,0);
}

A: This plugin is what you are looking for:
https://github.com/sebible/cordova-videosnapshot
From the documentation:
    function success(result) {
    if (result && result.result) {
        for (var i in result.snapshots) {
            var absfilepath = result.snapshots[i];
            // Do whatever you want with absfilepath
            // Maybe assign to a img
            // $("<img>").attr("src", absfilepath).appendTo("body");
        }
    }
}

function fail(err) {
    console.log(err);
}

// This generates 3 snapshots of the source video no matter what its duration is (with timestamps printed at the lower right)
var options = {
    source: "file:///mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/0.mp4",
    count: 3,
    timeStamp: true
}

sebible.videosnapshot.snapshot(success, fail, options);

// This generates 3 snapshots for every minute of the source video (with timestamps as well).
var options2 = {
    source: "file:///mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/0.mp4",
    countPerMinute: 3,
    timeStamp: true
}

The pilot was on a local flying exercise with elements of blind flying, map reading and D/F homing from RAF Crosby-on-Eden when he flew into the northern side of Lowther Hill to the south of Wanlockhead in the Southern Uplands while in cloud.
While virtually no wreckage remains at the crash site, it is marked by a wooden memorial cross which was placed at the site by members of the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum in 2012.
The view towards the village of Wanlockhead from the crash site.
Sergeant George Stevenson was buried at Carlisle (Dalston Road) Cemetery, above is his grave.
While nothing to do aviation an interesting feature on Lowther Hill, besides the NATS radar station and various other transmitters, is this former tractor which is a short way down the hill from the crash site of W9112. It was used in the Wanlockhead / Leadhills area during the 1960s and 1970s as ski tow and when it was finally retired from use it stayed where it was.

However, I love New Year's Day! I love eating black-eyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread. I love watching football all day. I love new beginnings and looking ahead at goals for the year. I know the statistics show we probably won't be able to keep our New Year's resolutions, but I still like the idea of having goals. I love that we have a calendar year that finishes and a new one that begins, offering us a fresh start.
For some, 2017 was a year you may like to forget, but even if 2017 was the worst, I believe we can look ahead to 2018 with hope in mind. And I believe this starts with taking care of ourselves- to make specific self care goals for the year.
I know it can seem selfish to think about how you are going to take care of yourself better this year, and that your goals should be about "pouring" yourself out more for the sake of others. However, I would submit that a person can never truly be there for someone else the way he or she might want to until they learn how to take care of themselves properly. So how are you going to take care of yourself better in 2018?
As I've written much about, I believe every human being is a bio-psycho-social-spiritual human being, and for that person to be operating at full capacity, I believe that a person should be working towards bettering themselves in each of those areas.
How are you going to take care of your body? Is it a better eating plan? Do you need to join Weight Watchers for some help and accountability? Some of our best friends used Weight Watchers and lost almost 100 pounds combined this past year. I'm not a paid sponsor for Weight Watchers, but I am always a proponent of people having a plan and a community as it relates to health.
How are you going to better your mind this year? Are you going to read a certain amount of books this year? Are you going finally take care of those toxic thinking patterns? Counseling really helps me (and still helps me) replace my irrational, fearful thinking. And if it works for a messed up person like me, it could possibly work for you too.
Are you going to live in community this year or are you going to isolate? Who are 3 people you'd like to say you were closer to at the end of 2018 than you were in 2017? This could mean regular coffee dates or vacationing together. Who are your people?
Do you have a plan for growing in your relationship with God this year? People immediately go for upping their devotional time with God, and while I would definitely agree with that being a solid option, can I suggest a little more specific creativity with this one? We serve a BIG God who wants to connect with us in so many ways than just during our 'quiet time.' Still have a devotional time with the Lord, but how else are you going to connect with Jesus this year that will help the relationship grow?
So here's a toast to 2018 from Hopetown and the Dicksons! We don't expect perfection in 2018, but we do hope for progress in each of us.
Is It Okay For A Christian To Doubt?
Some days it's hard to find hope. let's borrow each other's.


homepage > our work > signage > Grove Health Centre . . . just what the doctor ordered.
Large format wall graphics depicting scenes from Dundee in stunning black and white photography, (by GSR Photography) were the selected design strategy to add a visual dimension to the recently refurbished interior of the Grove Health Centre. Vinyl graphics were also adhered to internal glass panels to add colour and enclose the seating area within the health centre. Overall the end result was bold and will hopefully be a talking point for patients visiting the health centre for years to come.


Smart RFID Key Tags are used to open the Eternity E5-RF Proximity Card Lock.
Smart Key Tags are similar to credit card size access cards and key FOBs, except that they do not need to actually touch a lock to open it. Instead, simply hold a Smart Key Tag close to a Proximity/Keypad Lock and the lock will automatically open,provided that the lock has been pre-programmed to recognize the proximity tag and allow access at the given date and time.
Note: these are only available in color shown (dark blue).


Considerable damages of a body need to be repaired at service stations at which there is an equipment for body repair.
If extensive damages take place, it is necessary to check body geometry. They can also influence characteristics of driving or lead to the fact that other components will quicker wear out.
Because all main components of a body (a cowl, wings, etc.) represent separate elements which can be replaced, best of all to give their replacement, but not repair. Sometimes the required details can be found in shops selling second-hand spare parts that is much cheaper, than purchase of new.
