What Lovely Mimi Did Before Fame
The Instagram sensation we know today as Lovely Mimi was born Myha Thi Luong on August 20, 1990, in the Asian country of Vietnam. Before the colorful videos, glitz, and glam she has become known for, she was just an ordinary girl who grew up within the walls of a refugee camp in the Philippines. Her family later left the camp and made their way to the United States in 1993.
Upon her arrival in the U.S, Mimi began studies at a high school. It was the beginning of another life for the young girl who had to further experience alienation from her peers as a result of her being different. What followed next was a life of rebellion as she would run away from home for periods of time and began drinking alcohol which led to fights with her parents. She ended up dropping out of high school and entered into a life of crime which got her in trouble with the law as she had to spend some time in a juvenile detention facility.
Without formal education or training to do anything, Lovely Mimi found it difficult finding a job. She was left with no option but to employ herself, and so she began working towards owning a beauty spot. In no time, the Vietnamese immigrant became an owner of a nail salon in Maryland which she called Luong's Lovely Nails.
How She Became Famous on Social Media
Lovely Mimi went on to be very successful as a "nail architect", a phrase her fans like to call her. She improved year after year and became very popular in her town before attracting the attention of people all over the United States as a result of her use of social media, particularly Instagram where she posted numerous pictures and videos of her work that attracted a huge number of followers and fans.
Mimi soon began posting tutorial videos which brought her even more fame. Her make-up and nail-painting tutorial videos were laced with comedy which made it appeal to an even wider audience as her reputation as one of the best nail technicians in the U.S. became solidified.
Lovely Mimi has since then been the first name on every woman's lips when it comes to doing nails. She has capitalized on this fame by opening various outlets in cities across the United States.

While handling her business as a nail shop owner, Lovely Mimi worked towards launching a career as a musician. In September 2016, she featured the London-based boy band 5ive on her hip-hop song titled "We Don't Care". The following year, she made her first appearance on the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta reality show, joining a long list of supporting cast members on the show that included Melissa Scott, Jasmine Washington, Rod Bullock, and Keanna Arnold, among many others.
What We Know About Her Marriage and Divorce
Going by what we see on social media and the role she plays on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Mimi appears to have a larger-than-life personality that is filled with colorful hair and make-up, big eyelashes, and amazing-looking nails. However, what people might not know is that she is a mother of two children; a boy and a girl named Juice and Jayy.
Lovely Mimi welcomed her two kids to the world with her husband Remy Skinner. The pair exchanged vows in 2010 after having dated for a very long time. Skinner, who is also known as Remy the Boss, has gone on to work as her manager and has appeared in some of her videos on Instagram.
Unfortunately for the pair, things went sour and they have decided to go their separate ways. The couple divorced in 2019 on grounds of infidelity on the part of Skinner. Mimi accused him of cheating on her with several women, notably former LHHATL star, Just Brittany. Mimi said she felt betrayed upon finding out that Brittany who she took as a friend was having an affair with her husband.

Nortel Advances Business Strategy with Proposed Sale of UMTS Access Business to Alcatel
WEBWIRE – Friday, September 1, 2006
Refines Focus on Next-Generation Mobility
SEPTEMBER 01, 2006 - TORONTO - Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT] announced that it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding for the sale of its UMTS access business to Alcatel for US $320 million, a move that will enable Nortel to simplify its business and strategically focus its investments for leadership in key markets while ensuring its customers' UMTS access requirements will continue to be met.
As part of its business strategy, Nortel is executing on plans to increase investment in key areas, partner in others, and divest where there is no path for it to lead or realize attractive returns.
"Nortel is sharpening its focus on the markets in which we intend to lead. Our UMTS access business lacks the scale and momentum needed to become profitable," said Mike Zafirovski, president and chief executive officer, Nortel.
There are three core elements of Nortel's strategic focus -- next-generation mobility, enterprise transformation, and services and applications. Much like its partnership with Microsoft announced in July, this is another key step in changing the trajectory of Nortel's business.
"With next-generation mobility, we see an opportunity to change the game by applying our networking expertise and technology innovation to significantly alter the economic paradigm of mobility solutions in the future," said Zafirovski.
"We are absolutely committed to mobility and plan to lead the 4G evolution and play a key role in the mass market adoption of mobile video and multimedia services." said Richard Lowe, president, Mobility and Converged Core Networks, Nortel. "With a strong position in GSM and CDMA, an established service provider customer base, and technology leadership in key areas like OFDM-MIMO, we have a solid foundation for success going forward."
As part of its ongoing mobility business, Nortel will continue to develop and support solutions for the evolution of GSM access and core, GSM-R, GPRS and EDGE technologies as well as CDMA access and core and UMTS core.
The proposed sale includes Nortel's UMTS access product portfolio made up of the Radio Network Controller and Node B products and OAM solutions, related services and associated assets. It is anticipated that the significant majority of employees of Nortel's UMTS access business will transfer to Alcatel. Completion of the transaction is subject to, among other things, the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement between Nortel and Alcatel, completion of consultations with work councils and other employee representatives, and customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals. The parties are targeting completion of the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2006.
"This deal is good for our UMTS access customers. They will benefit from Alcatel's resulting scale in this market. We will work closely with Alcatel to make the hand-over as smooth as possible for our customers, with whom we plan to have strong, on-going relationships," said Lowe.
"The expertise of Nortel's UMTS team is well-known, and I am confident that our combined forces will pave the way for further success in the wireless market," said Marc Rouanne, president of Alcatel's mobile communications activities. "We are committed to support and evolve our extended customer base."

Mo. county adds 911 cell phone tax to April ballot
The appearance of the measure on the ballot is due the a continual decrease in funding from the landline tax
Erik Cliburn
Moberly Monitor-Index, Mo.
The Moberly City Council and Randolph County Commission finalized an agreement concerning emergency dispatching throughout the county that will prompt a cellphone tax to appear on the April 2 ballot for voter approval.
The agreement was approved by the city council during a special meeting held Wednesday. The meeting also included two resolutions relating to an updated management agreement for Heritage Hills Golf Course and solar services agreement with MC Power.

Cellphone tax
A law was passed last year in the state legislature that allows counties and municipalities to collect $1 per month from cellphone users, with voter approval, to fund dispatch operations and emergency communications.
The county commission approved the measure to appear on the ballot and the Moberly City Council approved the agreement with county, where funds collected by the county, related to the cellphone tax, will be remitted to Moberly to enhance dispatch services.
The appearance of the measure on the ballot is due the a continual decrease in funding from the landline tax, which also goes into funding dispatch services and emergency communications. Due to the decline in landline funds, communication technology for emergency services in the county have started to fall behind, Moberly City Manager Brian Crane said.
"What we've continued to see is that landline cost go down," Crane said. "That funds our (dispatch) operations. ...What we're realizing over the last few years, is a decline in our technology and a tough struggle to keep up with those technology improvements with that declining revenue."
The dispatch system for Randolph County is centralized through the Moberly Police Department. When 911 is called, an emergency operator directs the call to the appropriate emergency service, such as the Moberly Police Department or the Randolph County Sheriff's Office.
If Randolph County Ambulance District, the Moberly Fire Department or one of the rural fire departments are required, the call is directed from Moberly PD to the RCAD dispatch. Dispatch will then send out the call to the necessary emergency service, due to software incompatibilities between departments. The call transfers are also, partially, due to the differences in training for law enforcement dispatchers and medical/fire dispatchers.
RCAD's software accesses medical records as well as fire emergency information, unlike Moberly PD's software. Certain dispatchers are also trained for specific call types. The EMTs at RCAD are always on rotation as trained dispatchers.
The main difference in the city and county's new agreement will be the dispatch system's funding sources, if it is approved by voters.
Aside from technological improvements to the system, revenue from the tax would mean that communication dispatchers could see an increase in pay, Crane said.
"Our communication dispatchers, for years, have been paid very little," Crane said. "They make $24,000 a year of take home pay. (It's a) very stressful job. They are very committed people, and we appreciate their work. But we also think that they need a little more money, because we continue to get people leave that job and go somewhere else where they can make more money or do the same job somewhere else."
The cellphone tax could generate between $275,000-300,000, which is only a rough estimate, Crane said during a January meeting. In the same meeting, he said the annual operating cost of dispatching services are approximately $600,000, but only $140,000 is covered by the landline tax. The rest of the funding is pulled from the city's general funds, and another $90,000 comes from the county.
Part of the city-county agreement also forms an advisory board that includes all the jurisdictions of emergency services in the county, Crane said.
"What we've heard from the voters is they want to see an understanding of how we're going to use the money," Crane said. "... (The board) is going to meet regularly to come up with solution to these funding shortages and technology issues we're having in our system. Hopefully, that framework will bring all the entities together that use the services and figure out how to make that 911 system the best it can be."
Solar agreement
The council approved revisions to a solar services agreement with MC Power that will exclude solar panels from one building in the original project and create production standard. The project, which was originally approved in December, aimed to install solar panels on 19 city-owned buildings and also include roof repairs on the Moberly Municipal Auditorium, Moberly City Hall and the fire and police stations.
While the roof on the auditorium was already repaired, the revision removed the installation of solar panels from the building. The solar panels would not have worked well on the auditorium roof, Public Works Director Tom Sanders said.
"Due to the shape of the roof, it didn't fit for the panels well," Sanders said. "... It really didn't make sense to have that few up there. So we've taken that out of the (overall) project."
As part of the revision, there is also a production standard that requires MC Power to meet a certain percentage of the promised power output. If the production standard is not met, the city will pay less in its lease agreement with the company, Sanders said.
The council approved an updated golf course management agreement for the Heritage Hills Golf Course with Greatlife, a professional golf course management firm from Kansas City.
The agreement will take effect April 1 and cost $41,196 annually.

VLA reveals spectacular "haloes" of spiral galaxies
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory Press Release
Composite image of an edge-on spiral galaxy with a radio halo produced by fast-moving particles in the galaxy's magnetic field. In this image, the large, grey-blue area is a single image formed by combining the radio halos of 30 different galaxies, as seen with the Very Large Array. At the centre is a visible-light image of one of the galaxies, NGC 5775, made using the Hubble Space Telescope. This visible-light image shows only the inner part of the galaxy's star-forming region, outer portions of which extend horizontally into the area of the radio halo. Image credit: Jayanne English (U. Manitoba), with support from Judith Irwin and Theresa Wiegert (Queen's U.) for the CHANG-ES consortium; NRAO/AUI/NSF; NASA/STScI.
A study of spiral galaxies seen edge-on has revealed that "haloes" of cosmic rays and magnetic fields above and below the galaxies' discs are much more common than previously thought.
An international team of astronomers used the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) to study 35 edge-on spiral galaxies at distances from 11 million to 137 million light-years from Earth. The study took advantage of the ability of the VLA, following completion of a decade-long upgrade project, to detect radio emission much fainter than previously possible.
"We knew before that some haloes existed, but, using the full power of the upgraded VLA and the full power of some advanced image-processing techniques, we found that these haloes are much more common among spiral galaxies than we had realised," said Judith Irwin, of Queen's University in Canada, leader of the project.
Spiral galaxies, like our own Milky Way, have the vast majority of their stars, gas, and dust in a flat, rotating disc with spiral arms. Most of the light and radio waves seen with telescopes come from objects in that disc. Learning about the environment above and below such discs has been difficult.
"Studying these haloes with radio telescopes can give us valuable information about a wide range of phenomena, including the rate of star formation within the disc, the winds from exploding stars, and the nature and origin of the galaxies' magnetic fields," said Theresa Wiegert, also of Queen's University, lead author of a paper in the Astronomical Journal reporting the team's findings. The paper provides the first analysis of data from all 35 galaxies in the study.
To see how extensive a "typical" halo is, the astronomers scaled their images of 30 of the galaxies to the same diameter, then another of the authors, Jayanne English, of the University of Manitoba in Canada, combined them into a single image. The result, said Irwin, is "a spectacular image showing that cosmic rays and magnetic fields not only permeate the galaxy disc itself, but extend far above and below the disc."
The combined image, the scientists said, confirms a prediction of such haloes made in 1961.
Along with the report on their findings, the astronomers also are making their first batch of specialised VLA images available to other researchers. In previous publications, the team described the details of their project and its goals. The team has completed a series of VLA observations and their latest paper is based on analysis of their first set of images. They now are analysing additional datasets, and also will make those additional images available to other scientists when they publish the results of the later analyses.
"The results from this survey will help answer many unsolved questions in galactic evolution and star formation," said Marita Krause of the Max-Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany.

Computer simulations shed light on Milky Way's missing red giants
8 June 2016 Astronomy Now
New computer simulations from the Georgia Institute of Technology provide a conclusive test for a hypothesis of why the centre of the Milky Way appears to be filled with young stars but has very few old ones. According to the theory, the remnants of older, red giant stars are still there — they just aren't bright enough to be detected with telescopes.
First light for future black hole probe
13 January 2016 Astronomy Now
Zooming in on black holes is the main mission for the newly installed GRAVITY instrument at ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile. During its first observations, GRAVITY successfully combined starlight using all four 1.8-metre Auxiliary Telescopes. The first observations using GRAVITY with the four 8-metre VLT Unit Telescopes are planned for later in 2016.
Hubble reveals NGC 362, a young globular cluster
Globular clusters offer some of the most spectacular sights in the night sky. These ornate spheres contain hundreds of thousands of stars, and reside in the outskirts of galaxies. The Milky Way contains over 150 such clusters — and the example shown in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, named NGC 362, is one of the most unusual ones.

2 (quote) let me try, i can't promise you that.
Hello guys, I created a simple Magisk module that can systemlessly add some OnePlus 6T Mclaren Edition features. No need to manually push files to system, simply install via Magisk Manager and reboot.
* Mclaren Mod module only contains Wallpapers, Sounds and Bootanimation. Wallpapers works only on OnePlus launcher.
* When installing Fingerprint animation module, please wait for at least 40 seconds after reboot.
* When installing Fingerprint animation module, the default animation will be Mclaren (on every reboot).
* After uninstalling the Fingerprint animation module, you have to manually select any other fingerprint animation from settings or else there will be no animation.
Installing Fingerprint animation module on OOS-9.0.7 will get a bigger notch like OnePlus6, blame OnePlus for that.
Here is the ported version of McLaren AR. Download and install as normal app.
Is it possible to add McLaren theme?
Does this have new fingerprint animations?
you mean accent color ?
accent color can be changed from display settings.
I am stupid. Never thought of that.
Any plan to add fingerprint animation?

C-PACE Coming to New Jersey in 2018
Posted Wednesday, December 20, 2017 Friday, December 22, 2017 Jonathan Cloud
(Originally published at www.NewJerseyPACE.org December 13, 2017):
New Jersey is about to experience a surge of new clean energy projects, unleashing a considerable amount of additional private financing for energy efficiency and renewables.
Amendments to NJ's existing PACE law are being passed in the NJ Legislature this month. Governor Christie has the opportunity to sign this legislation before he leaves office. Given that the new bill includes amendments based on his 2015 conditional veto, Governor Christie could (and we think, should) sign Commercial-only PACE legislation as part of his economic legacy.
PACE — Property Assessed Clean Energy — is a new source of financing for commercial projects. More than a dozen states have PACE programs which have collectively financed almost half a billion dollars worth of projects across the US and created almost 7,500 jobs. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of new construction and retrofit projects that are eligible for this new form of financing.
For a general description of PACE see What is PACE?
The key benefits of Commercial PACE are that it:
Saves property owners money on energy
Creates local jobs and economic development
Helps the environment by reducing carbon emissions
The most appealing features of Commercial PACE for energy efficiency, renewable energy and resiliency financing are that it:
Covers 100% up front financing, including project development costs, and can be off-balance sheet
Allows terms of up to 30 years, allowing projects to be cash-flow positive from the start
Remains with the building upon sale
Allows payments to be passed along to tenants, resolving the split incentive issue
Increases the value and competitiveness of the building
Property owners can receive subsidies and incentives from the NJ Clean Energy Program, and use PACE financing to finance 100% of the remaining hard and soft costs.
Other potential sources of energy-improvement financing include state programs such as the proposed Public Bank, a possible Green Bank, and the New Jersey Resilience Bank (which has already committed all of its available funds). But each of these is likely to take longer to implement than PACE, requiring additional legislative approvals.
The distinguishing feature of PACE is that it does not involve any public funds, is wholly decentralized through the municipalities and the private sector, and is not managed by the state. It can get off the ground immediately, and make a substantial impact on creating jobs and reducing emissions.
Ramping up both public and private funding
Our preliminary estimates suggest that the potential for clean energy improvements of commercial properties in New Jersey may be more than $75 billion, including renewables and efficiency improvements, even a fraction of which is capable of creating an enormous boost in jobs and economic development.
What this means is that PACE could rapidly exceed the current level of public clean energy financing in the state, potentially more than doubling the extent of market transformation. Commercial PACE can provide 100%, non-recourse, and off-balance-sheet financing for a wide range of projects; or simply bridge the gap between what the Clean Energy Program provides and the total cost of the project. In addition, there are other innovative financing structures that have been devised specifically to take the place of PACE where PACE is not yet available. So the private market is going to drive the transition further and faster than ever.
How PACE will work in New Jersey
Senator Bob Smith, chair of the Environment & Energy Committee of the NJ Senate, has submitted a revised bill (S1570) that accomplishes a number of important things.
To begin with, it makes PACE commercial-only, at least for now, since residential PACE remains controversial and really requires different market rules and structures.
Secondly, it incorporates a number of safeguards for all of the actors involved — the municipalities, the property owners, and the investors.
Third, it allows private financing, in addition to public revenue bonds.
Fourth, it allows municipalities to appoint more than one PACE administrator, which is essential to enable open-market competition.
Eligible projects include "renewable energy and energy efficiency systems and water conservation, storm shelter construction, flood and hurricane resistance projects, energy storage, microgrids, and district heating and cooling system projects." Only municipalities may establish PACE programs, by ordinance, but a municipality "may designate a county, county improvement authority, another public entity, or one or more private entities to manage, oversee, administer, finance or implement, or any combination thereof, all or any part of the PACE program on the municipality's behalf."
Extensive provisions provide detailed consumer protections:
The municipal ordinance shall require that a disclosure form summarizing PACE financing risks provided by the PACE program administrator and the lender shall be signed by the owner of each property. The disclosure form shall include, but need not be limited to, the following information:
(a) risks from incorrect or defective improvement design or construction of the PACE project;
(b) risk of foreclosure for failure to pay the special assessment;
(c) imposition of charges or other enforcement for delinquent PACE special assessment payments in the same manner as delinquent real estate taxes;
(d) lack of guarantee of energy savings from the PACE project;
(e) likelihood that completed PACE projects may require ongoing maintenance to meet performance targets;
(f) probability that changes in property occupancy or energy costs may affect energy savings expected from the project;
(g) lack of guarantee by the PACE program or PACE program administrator of availability of local, State, or federal tax credits or other incentives;
(h) amount of additional fees for actual municipal costs that will be added to the PACE special assessment.
The municipal ordinance shall also require that the PACE program include the following consumer protection provisions:
(a) the authority of the property owner to cancel the PACE contract within three business days of signing it;
(b) a requirement to provide information to the property owner on the total cost of the PACE project for the life of the agreement including interest or fees to be paid, total number of payments, payment frequency, amount of each payment, and warranty or maintenance obligations; and
(c) a prohibition restricting specific monetary or percentage estimates on property value changes as a result of the PACE project.
The program is to be reviewed after five years, and terminated after ten (unless renewed by the Legislature), though any PACE assessments entered into would be honored to conclusion.
Will It Pass and Get Signed Into Law?
Senator Smith plans to get the latest version of the Bill through both houses of the Legislature during the so-called "lame duck" session, during which Christie as the outgoing Governor may sign, veto, or simply pocket veto the legislation. In principle, we believe that Governor Christie should view the bill favorably, since it incorporates much of what was stated in his 2015 conditional veto, including the commercial-only restriction and the mortgage-lender consent provision. While the main goal of PACE is, as the name implies, to support clean energy, it is also a jobs and economic development program that will benefit NJ in multiple ways.
If the Bill is signed it goes into effect immediately. If it is not signed, Governor-Elect Phil Murphy, who has publicly supported PACE as part of his clean energy platform, will sign PACE into law. One way or another PACE will become a reality in New Jersey in 2018.
And… there are new options available today
After five years of advocacy for PACE in New Jersey, New Jersey PACE, the non-profit that has been the primary champion for PACE in NJ, has also developed some new approaches that are "PACE-like," and which could be viewed as "pre-PACE," since they're designed in part to build momentum for PACE. These programs do not require state or local involvement, and are featured at a new web site, www.RegenerativeFinancing.org, launched by our new umbrella organization Possible Planet (www.possibleplanet.org, previously the Center for Regenerative Community Solutions). The site not only explains the programs: it also provides an application portal for project submissions, with very similar features as PACE.
The first of these alternatives, developed in collaboration with a major national impact investment fund, is called NICCE ("nice"), for "New Inter-Creditor for Clean Energy." NICCE is essentially a special-priority energy improvement loan that is based on an agreement with the existing mortgage lender, if any, that is transferable and non-acceleratable. We have open-ended funding available for projects in New Jersey and in a number of major cities around the country, for new construction or retrofit energy efficiency and renewable energy projects of more than $1 million, and we're already building a pipeline of major deals.
The second pre-PACE alternative, which we call DREEM (Deed-registered Renewable Energy & Efficiency Measures), uses a modified form of an Energy Services Agreement, with additional security for lenders and property owners.
Neither NICCE nor DREEM require any kind of state legislation or municipal approval. We are accepting project applications today, or contact Jonathan Cloud at 908-581-8418 or jcloud@regenerativefinancing.org.

The same holds true in Mercer County football. Finding a reliable, kicker and punter make coaching special teams a little easier.
Over the years here at CW we have excellent Kickers. The benefit of our kicking game especially on Kickoffs has been a huge advantage over the years. When you can make a team go 80 yards after a TD or on an opening drive you put your team in a great position to score. FG's are a bonus but again that has been an advantage for us over the years. we have won many a game by a FG or Xtra point. 2012 10-9 State finals- FG the difference. 2015/16 17-14 vs Marion. both years a 43 yd FG.
St. Henry's Ryan Luttmer and Celina's Kole Murlin do everything but drive the team bus to away games (and they might even do that). Luttmer and Murlin have both kicked a field goal this season and both have scored in double figures thanks to their kicking game.
The two seniors also punt, plus they are two of the top rushers in the county. These two are some of the 'iron men' of high school football.
Senior captain, Kole Murlin is arguably our best football player. He has played both ways for the better part of the last 3 seasons, and he rarely comes off of the gridiron. Kole also assumes the punting and kicking responsibilities, and has proven to be extremely effective for the Celina Bulldogs. It is one thing to kick the ball when your rested, waiting and practicing on the sideline until your number is called. It is another thing when you run a 75 yard touchdown to the house and then have to follow that up less than a minute later with a crucial extra point to give your team the tie or lead. Follow that up by going back onto the field to kickoff to the opponent. Kole makes this look so easy, and has for a long time. I think people, even teammates and coaches take this for grant it. Kole Murllin has the most difficult and intense pressure duty on Friday nights, and he has continually excelled at this while being totally exhausted from playing virtually every position on the field. We certainly appreciate our football kicker, Kole Murlin.
All of the above stats are from the first three games of the season, SSN will make this a regular part of our football season coverage. Thanks to a SSN visitor for the suggestion to follow the KICKERS and the PUNTERS.

Russian Archive Chief Out After Debunking Soviet WW II Legend
The former director of the Russian State Archive, Sergei Mironenko, told RFE/RL's Russian Service that the Panfilov legend was not even a myth but a deliberate "falsification."
MOSCOW -- The longtime director of the Russian State Archive has been removed from his post less than a year after he exposed a popular Soviet World War II legend to be "fiction" and railed against Soviet "myths" in front of top officials.
Sergei Mironenko, who had headed the State Archive since 1992, has been made head of research at the archive.
In an interview with RFE/RL's Russian Service on March 16, he said that the change was the result of a "collective decision" and that his conflict with authorities, including Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky in 2015, was "not the deciding factor."
But the Russian daily Moskovsky Komsomolets cited sources at the archive as saying that Mironenko was very well regarded by all his colleagues and that the conflict may have led to his "unexpected" dismissal. His deputy, Larisa Rogovaya, has been made acting director.
Mironenko had headed the State Archive for nearly a quarter-century, since it was established amid the openness that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union.
He irked President Vladimir Putin's government in July 2015 when the archive published formerly classified correspondence between top Soviet officials in 1948 that deeply undermined the World War II legend of Panfilov's 28 Guardsmen, which is popular to this day.
The story concerns a unit of Soviet soldiers led by Major General Ivan Panfilov who were written into the pantheon of national heroism after they were said to have died battling German tanks on the outskirts of Moscow as the freezing winter of 1941-42 set in. They were decorated posthumously. To this day, streets are named after "Panfilov's Heroes," and a film about them -- backed by the Culture Ministry -- is due to hit screens in May. The trailer has been released:
The document published by the state archive, however, showed that Soviet officials recognized the legend was "fiction" after some of the supposedly deceased men were found to be still alive.
On July 20, Mironenko made an appearance on air with the Russian Service of RFE/RL in which he said that the Panfilov legend was not even a myth but a deliberate "falsification."
The myth-busting activity by an official structure, the State Archive, appeared out of step with the strident conservativism cultivated by Putin in his third Kremlin term, the central ideological importance of the Soviet victory in World War II, and the pervading mood of Soviet nostalgia.
The publication provoked an angry reaction from Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky, who scolded Mironenko for evaluating documents, rather than working as a dispassionate archivist. The director of the Russian archive is "not a writer, not a journalist, not a fighter against historical falsifications," Medinsky said. "If he wants to change profession, we will understand this."
Mironenko had irked the authorities before. In June 2015, he stood up at an otherwise routine World Congress of Russian Press attended by powerful State Duma speaker Sergei Naryshkin and Kremlin chief of staff Sergei Ivanov and railed against Soviet myths.
Mironenko debunked the Panfilov legend at that time and also criticized Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, saying the Molotov-Ribbentropp Pact that carved up Eastern Europe between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II should really be called the Hitler-Stalin Pact.
Medinsky is himself currently under political pressure after Grigory Pirumov, one of his deputies at the Culture Ministry, was arrested by the Federal Security Service (FSB) on March 15 in connection with a corruption investigation.

Who doesn't love to get something extra even if it is little? And on the same lines, Aircel has started a new campaign called the 'Joy of Little Extra' under which the telecom operator will go on to products and services which will offer that little extra in value and delight for its subscribers through all its products, be it extra SMS', extra Talk time or extra Data.
This campaign from Aircel aims at bringing joy of a little extra to its subscribers and you might have already caught the ads on the TV.
Aircel is already offering free local calls when users opt in for the internet pack and many more offers are to be ousted by the company in the coming days.


HOPE – The Hope Rotary Club honored two long-time educators from the arts and athletics here Thursday night as its 2017 Educators of the Year.
Introduced by Rotary Club Selection Committee Chair John Watkins were Beryl Henry Elementary School choral music teacher Sandra Jones and Susan Powers, Hope High School girls physical education/cheer teacher and HPSD co-activities director.
Jones is a graduate of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff with a BS in music education, and an MSE in music education from Arkansas State University. She has taught in the Hope Public Schools for 12 years, and has been an educator for 26 years.
"She plans her instruction to focus on student's successes and they enjoy being in her class," Watkins read from her nomination. "A variety of music techniques are used to engage all students while keeping them focused and interested in the lesson. Each student is treated with respect and given opportunities to participate in live performances while benefiting from effective instruction.
Powers was named co-activities director this year, and she has taught in the Hope Public Schools for 35 years. She is a graduate of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway with both BSE and MSE degrees in physical education.
"Very few teachers have the patience and stamina to not only teach but enjoy teaching special needs students in Adaptive PE," Watkins read from Powers' nomination. "Coach Powers recruits regular students to create a positive atmosphere in this state required course. Our students are able to compete and feel a part of a team setting with the classroom skills Coach Powers provides.
Watkins presented both honorees with certificates and cash awards for use in their class activities, and he presented Hope Superintendent Bobby Hart with a cash award for the district.
Selection committee members included Watkins and Rotarians Clay Lance and Rodney Orr.
Watkins said the club believes it is necessary to honor teachers to encourage community support for public education.

Most Incredible Model Moment: Meeting other models, photographers, and stylists from foreign cities!
GORGEOUS. I adore her. Too bad she's at Ford. Won't get to see her kick-a** portfolio.
She has a very cute profile.
First pick out of the package is Allaire. She was one of the summer stunners from Ford NY we introduced a dozen of days ago, she's back for a full feature this afternoon with her polaroids from last month (July is already behind us!) and some freshly-shot tests by Bradford Gregory. She counts among the classic beauties with a twist and also the brilliant newbies with a true will to model, she was discovered via Ford's online scouting tool at the beginning of the years and keeps the excitement growing on her at the same pace as the expectations of her agents. With loads of energy to spend in her new job and the perfect attitude, she's paving her path with diamonds like those above that makes easy to understand why it's so easy for her to learn.
^ Her nose is increadibly cute indeed Reminds me of Myf mixed with Taryn, a little bit.. I need to see more though, to be fully convinced.
she is like a pixie. so delicate and beautiful !!

The Bus Stops Here: For Belt Tightening
By Susan De Vos | August 16, 2019
More on City Life
Subscribe to City Life
A counterintuitive way to reduce congestion is to go on a road diet or, in this case belt-tightening. The common view? No.
On July 24, 2019 officials involved in a Wisconsin Department of Transportation project called US 12/18 Madison Beltline Improvement Alternatives held a well-publicized public involvement meeting1 on a ten mile stretch between Whitney Way and I- 39/90 . The stretch had to be upgraded, the perfect time to consider modifications to the current arrangement. Unfortunately, the two alternatives were limited to: 1) Resurfacing the median area with drainage improvements and replacing deteriorated sections of the existing barrier wall; or 2) Performing the first choice with slight modification to enable the use of the median as an additional traffic lane during peak commute times -- a practice referred to as "dynamic part-time shoulder use" (DPTSU).
Neither alternative seems particularly attractive, while a more academic policy analysis would also include the option of doing nothing (letting deterioration continue). Nor was a fourth option that would involve real improvement entertained, that of restricting some lanes to high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs; vehicles with more than one person) or rapid transit and modifying others for safe bicycle and pedestrian travel. In other words, the option of Belt Tightening was not considered, but it should have been.
Let us hope that this option is seriously considered by the parent of the part-time shoulder project called Madison Beltline Study begun in 2012.2 In general, WisDOT needs to develop more projects focused on improving public transit, bicycling and walking; fewer projects focused on highway expansion. It needs a much more balanced approach to transportation that acknowledges how expensive cars and trucks are to own and operate and makes them as unnecessary as possible.
The short-term benefit of Dynamic Part Time Shoulder Use seems clear. It would initially relieve commute-hour congestion by making an additional lane temporarily available for over-flow traffic. It would do so by reconfiguring existing land rather than using new land, and it could be implemented fairly quickly. Estimates are that it could be operational in less than 18 months.
An Imperfect Solution
The main problem is that it is only a short-term solution (maybe lasting 5-10 years) but would spend resources that would no longer be available for a better solution. In the long term, congestion would build back to its current level but would do so using additional space. The number of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and emissions from that travel also would have increased while drivers would face the same amount of congestion as initially. And to make this a vicious cycle, there would probably be calls then to make full-time what had initially been only part-time, again as a short-sighted solution to congestion.
Such a situation would hardly be compatible with the project's claim of being 'sustainable,' since 'sustainable' is commonly thought to mean that something can be maintained over time at the same rate or level.
The project website claims that DPTSU is being used in 17 states. That use is fairly recent so there is no long-term evaluation of the practice in the United States. But part-time shoulder use had been used in such European countries as the Netherlands and Belgium long enough that evidence has accumulated about its long-tern effect. We now know that many routes started with Dynamic/Flex lane arrangements eventually ended up needing expansion to incorporate additional permanent lanes, often within 5-10 years of the installation of dynamic shoulder lanes.3
Economists call this induced demand, a main element of "supply and demand" theory. The general idea is that there is an unobserved amount of demand for a good called "latent demand." There is also an unobserved potential supply of that good called "latent supply." The actual observed amount of the good or its "price" is where latent supply meets latent demand. If one or another of those latent amounts is changed (in this case supply), that change will produce a new equilibrium point. Consumers are perhaps most aware of this concept when a good they want goes on "sale." The sale is often a way for retailers to reduce inventory by "inducing" extra demand for an in-stock item.
If we apply this logic to the traffic world, then what we call Beltline congestion is the "price" we are willing to pay to use the road. If we deem the price too high, we avoid the congestion by reducing our demand through changed travel habits, changed housing location and/or changed employment. If we grumble but put up with it, then it is not too high. If the "supply" of lane space is increased, the price (intersection of latent demand and latent supply) is lowered, and our behavior influenced accordingly. Until we again experience the level of congestion that we accept overall even if we grumble about it. This is nicely explained in an article that came out last September by Benjamin Schneider of CityLab called Induced Demand"4
A Better Option
The more lasting solution to traffic congestion is therefore not to temporarily reduce the cost of driving by increasing supply – adding more lanes to the Beltline part-time – but to instead increase the cost of driving so people search for alternatives. Restricting lane use alters the relative cost of hauling freight by truck vs. rail, the relative cost of using single vs. high occupancy vehicles (HOVs), the relative cost of riding rapid transit instead of one's own car, the relative cost of using land for protected bicycle lanes and foot paths vs. cars etc.
An intermediary solution could be to use Dynamic Part Time Shoulder Use, but to restrict that use to mass transit. In some places, for example the suburban Chicago I-90 corridor, "flex lanes" have been designed in such a way that even when closed to regular traffic, they can provide an express lane for mass transit.5 Various forms of shoulder-riding bus arrangements have also been used to great success in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region, and there is now talk of using it for Freeway Flyers transporting people between Ozaukee County and Milwaukee. Discussions of adding a Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT) to the Madison Area sometimes mention shoulder use as well. If that BRT bus sailed on past cars moving slowly in regular traffic lanes, that image alone might sell people on the benefit of having a truly more sustainable regional public transit system.

One of the best ways to optimize a house with limited space is by using up all of the available space including the most awkward one like under the staircase.
A good shoe storage is supposed to help you eradicate clutter, not burn a hole in your wallet.
This idea is everywhere. When it comes to small spaces, investing in multifunctional furniture is your biggest bet, just like these staircase drawers.
If you are addicted to collecting shoes, you might not be able to restrain yourself from buying new shoes, especially if they are on sale.
One of the unconventional ways to make a small room look bigger and feel less confined is by making everything float.
If you have a wooden thread rack that you don't use any longer, now it's time for you to take it from your dusty attic or garage because you are going to up-cycle it.
This shoe rack will make your closet look more stunning.
Anything that keeps your shoes off the ground can always give more floor space which will make the room appear to be visually bigger and tidier.
Last effortless idea to store your shoes ─ slip them in a bar. You only need to find a stainless steel bar, and cut some of the sides.

Q: StructureMap RegistrationConvention for decorator pattern I'm using the decorator pattern to implement caching for my Repositories as such:
IFooRepository()
IFooRepository FooRepository()
IFooRepository CachedFooRepository(IFooRepository fooRepository)

The Cached repository checks the cache for the requested object and if it doesn't exist, calls the FooRepository to retrieve and store it. I'm currently registering these types with StructureMap using the following method:
For<IFooRepository>().Use<CachedFooRepository()
    .Ctor<IFooRepository>().Use<FooRepository>();

This works fine, but as the number of cached repositories grows, registering each one individually is becoming unwieldy and is error prone. Seeing as I have a common convention, I'm trying to scan my assembly using a custom IRegistrationConvention, but I can't seem to figure out how to pass the FooRepository to the constructor of CachedFooRepository in the void Process(Type type, Registry registry) function.
I've found examples to do something like:
Type interfaceType = type.GetInterface(type.Name.Replace("Cached", "I"));
registry.AddType(interfaceType, type);

or
Type interfaceType = type.GetInterface(type.Name.Replace("Cached", "I"));
registry.For(interfaceType).Use(type);

But neither method will allow me to chain the .Ctor. What am I missing? Any ideas?

Wheeled glass cutters are essential for creating glass mosaics. I utilize it to reduce and form vitreous a glass and stained glass. It can also be used to slice smalti. The wheeled blades make cleaner cuts than tile nippers. The two carbide wheels (or steel, if you buy cheap cutters) are fixed in position. Rather than scoring and breaking, the wheels apply even pressure to the top and bottom sides of the glass, leading to it to fracture along the line of the wheels.
The wheels are replaceable and eventually go dull, although not before several thousand cuts. Each tyre is held in place by a setscrew (usually an Allen screw). As your cuts become noticeably less clean than when the cutters were new, use an Allen wrench to loosen the screws, rotate each wheel about 1/8-inch, and then re-tighten the screws. By transforming the location of where each wheel touches the glass, you have, in effect, replaced the rotor blades. It'll have a long time and many cuts to use the entire circumference of the wheels, especially when they're carbide.
When the wheels finally do become that is boring, I would recommend buying a entire new tool. The wheels make up the bulk of the tool's cost, so you won't save much by just buying replacement wheels. With a brand new tool, not only are the wheels sharp, however the rubber handle grips are new and clean (the rubber dons down and becomes dirty) and the spring is secured in-place. Every now and then, the spring breaks free from my cutters. The tool still works with a free spring, but irritating to keep the handles from spreading too far aside. When that happens, the spring falls off. Is actually quite annoying to drop the spring, watch it bounce out of reach, and then have to get out of my chair to retrieve it. I tried soldering it permanently in place, but it didn't work because I couldn't get the metal hot enough. So, until I buy a new tool, the spring constantly falls off. Another reason to get a new tool as opposed to just replacement rims is, if you decline the tool, it's possible to knock the tires out of alignment. Therefore , after several projects when you think the tires need replacing, I suggest buying a whole new tool.
When your new tool arrives, how to use Allen wrench tool to tighten the anchoring screws as tight as possible. Then, use an engraver, paint, felt-tip marker (or whatever you have that makes a permanent mark) to make a little tick mark quietly of each wheel where it variations the glass when slicing (the two tick signifies should be aligned opposite each other). I use an engraving tool in making the tick marks and so i don't have to worry about paint or ink eventually rubbing off. After a few hundred cuts, ease the screws, turn each wheel slightly, and then re tighten the anchoring screws. After several of these adjustments, the tick signifies have hot full circle showing that it's time to replace the tool (or just the wheels, if you prefer).
Don't be surprised if the tires rotate independently. No make a difference how hard I turn down on those anchoring screws, it apparently isn't restricted enough because the rims slowly rotate by by themselves from the pressure exerted during the cutting action. Right after several days and many cuts, I notice the beat marks are no extended aligned directly opposite each other, signifies the rims have rotated slightly. Probably I'm a weakling, but I just can't get the screws tight enough to keep them stationary. Nevertheless , that's okay with me because, if they turn by themselves, i quickly don't have to personally do it.


I've just returned from a quick-as-a-wink-rockpig-groupie-driving-green holiday.
I drove around Oregon and Washington with the Fruities, and enjoyed many a lovely road, lots of trees, several great gigs, lots of laughs, some nice views, more driving, organic things, a pig, and lots, lots more.
Here are lots of photos.
