Actually, I need a change in the code so that by changing the size of the page, I can re-appear and display my menu without encountering another error.

A:     $(window).on("resize", function(event){
if( $(this).width() > 767 ){
 $('.nav-bar').show();
 });

Once closed, display: none will be applied to it, that is why it doesnt appear. Another option would be to add display: block ! important; in media query for screen min width 767px

ZAGREB – Zoran Milanović, the candidate of the opposition Social Democratic Party, was elected as the new president of Croatia after defeating incumbent President and Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) candidate Kolinda Grabar Kitarović in the second round of presidential elections by more than 105,000 votes, reports Tanjug.
According to the final voting results, Milanović won 52.67 percent of votes, as opposed to Kolinda Grabar Kitarović, who received 47.33 percent. Milanović won in nine counties and in the four largest cities in Croatia, and Kolinda Grabar Kitarović won in 12 counties, as well as in the diaspora.
Kolinda Grabar Kitarović, who has served as the President for the past five years, said she was ready to advise Milanović about whatever she did and suggested meeting even before the official transfer of power.
Zoran Milanović (54), the former prime minister of Croatia, returned to politics after nearly a four-year retreat he made after the National Coalition, which he headed, was defeated in the 2016 election. During the past four years, Milanović ran a consulting company EuroAlba Advisory and he was almost completely absent from the public.
The position of the President is largely ceremonial, but this is nevertheless seen as a blow to the ruling HDZ, which has been in power since 2015. General election are expected for the second half of 2020.

How Have the Causes of US Deaths Changed Greatly Over the Past 100 Years?
July 26, 2022 February 16, 2022 by Sarah Walker
Let us understand how the causes of US deaths have changed over a century, which gives us a clear picture of the huge scientific victory that we have achieved through the hard work and dedication of those involved in the healthcare industry.
Major Causes of US Mortality in the Past 100 Years
Leading causes of death in 1900 and 2020
Decline in Mortality Rates across Leading Causes of Death
Life Expectancy and Death Rates by Race
Life Expectancy and Death Rates by Sex
Death Rates by Age Group
Measures Taken to Control Various Diseases From 1900 to the Present
Sanitation and Hygiene
Technological Advances in Monitoring Infectious Diseases From 1900 To Present
Serological Testing
Viral Isolation and Tissue Culture
A Few Final Words
The leading causes of death have drastically changed from 1900 to the present. Besides the steady decline in the overall mortality rate in the US, there is a change in demographic and socioeconomic groups, like women living longer than men and whites living longer than African-Americans.
The majority of countries have seen a rapid decline in mortality rate over the last 100 years, and the US has been a leading light in this direction. The US has enjoyed more longevity than death in the past 100 years. 100 years back, one out of 40 was the annual death rate, but over time, it has decreased to 1 out 140 in the twentieth century.
Along with the decline in mortality rate, different causes of death have changed from 100 years back to the present. There could be many reasons for such reduction. In the early '20s, more healthcare facilities and better nutrition led to lower chances of death caused due to infectious diseases.
In this article, let us understand more about significant causes of US mortality in the last 100 years, and the ways in which various diseases have been brought under control
In 1900, the deadliest infectious diseases became the primary reason for mortality. Tuberculosis, pneumonia, flu, and gastrointestinal infections were the leading infectious diseases that brought death.
Since the impact of such infectious diseases has reduced, the top reasons for mortality have changed to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and Covid. No matter the reason behind death, the mortality rate has declined from 1099 per 100k to Just 613 per 100k, a decline of 44%.
With various changes in health sectors and the medical industry, studies have shown a dramatic decline in deaths caused due to infectious diseases in 2020.
Cause of death 1900 %age 2020 %age
Pneumonia or influenza 202.2 18% 13 2%
Tuberculosis 194.4 18% – –
Gastrointestinal infections 142.7 13% – –
Heart disease 137.4 13% 168.2 27%
Cerebrovascular disease 106.9 10% – –
Nephropathies 88.6 8% 12.7 2%
Accidents 72.3 7% 57.6 9%
Cancer 64 6% 144.1 24%
Senility 50.2 5% – –
Diphtheria 40.3 4% – –
COVID-19 – – 85 14%
Stroke – – 38.8 6%
Chronic lower respiratory disease – – 36.4 6%
Alzheimer's disease – – 32.4 5%
Diabetes – – 24.8 4%
per 100,000 population 1099 613
Source: Statista
As you can see in the chart below, there has been a significant decline in mortality rates across all leading causes of death:
Source: CDC, NCHS
A significant difference is visible when you compare age-adjusted death rates and life expectancy between the white and black populations. While both these parameters were very poor for African Americans in the 1900s, there was a significant improvement post removal of segregation and as race-related prejudices started to recede in the '60s and 70s.
Death Rates and Life Expectancy: Whites
Death Rates and Life Expectancy: African-American
As you can see from the charts below, both parameters have drastically improved for women, whereas there is a lot of scope for improvement in the case of men.
Death Rates and Life Expectancy: Females
Death Rates and Life Expectancy: Males
Another starting data point is the concentration of mortality. While in the 1900s, the major age group facing mortality was newborn infants, today more than 70% of those dying are part of the age group of 65 and above.

The decline in mortality rate in the US has contributed to a major drop in child and infant mortality and has added 30 years more to the life expectancy. Despite overall progress in the mortality rate, a major change was seen in the 20th century.
In the 20th century, public health actions were considered based on 19th-century data, where the discovery of microorganisms led to major diseases and death. Such diseases were controlled by hygiene and sanitation.
Also, the discovery of vaccinations and antibiotics has shown a great decline in the death rate among children. Here are the measures that have been taken to control the death rate in the 20th century.
In the 19th century, the majority of the population had shifted from country to city; this immigration and introduction of industrialization led to overcrowding in cities. Such overcrowding leads to poor housing due to inadequate water supply and waste disposal systems.
This poor sanitation caused many diseases to adults as well as children; such diseases are typhoid, fever, influenza, tuberculosis, cholera, and malaria.
This public health concept focused on preventing infection diseases by providing clean water and proper sanitation. However, the public sector started taking measures against this in the 19-century only and continued to the 20th century.
Local and state governments have done their best to improve sanitation and hygiene. The states have developed certain health departments to undergo the concept and take care of proper sanitation and hygiene in the area they are allocated.
The first health department of the county was established in 1908. Over time, the state public health department has shown progress in controlling the diseases by incorporating various activities like the safety of food items, waste disposal system, water treatment, and providing information about personal and public hygiene.
The health departments introduced a few methods to provide safe and clean water, like chlorination and other treatments to clean the water. These methods led to a decrease in water-borne diseases and further controlled the death rate caused due to diseases caused by poor sanitation and hygiene.
Even TB-controlled plans were taken into action in the 19th century, and it is still in existence in the 20th century with more advancements. In 1900, 194 out of 1,00,000 people died from TB. Most of them lived in urban areas. The death rate due to TB decreased to 64 per 1,00,000 in 1950 from TB due to antibiotic therapy.
Another action considered in terms of sanitation and hygiene is pest control to prevent diseases caused by mosquitos or other insects. Animal and pest control played a major role in preventing diseases like rabies, malaria, plague, and more.
Mosquito-controlled programs play a vital role in preventing malaria.
Plague is a known infectious disease caused by inhalation of droplets from coughing patients. Even plague was diminished through vector control activities.
Smallpox, mumps, measles, tetanus, and diphtheria were common diseases in the US in the 19th century. But over time, the state government and a medical board have started vaccination programs to eliminate these diseases. Such vaccination programs were aimed at poor children. With the introduction of licensed diphtheria and tetanus vaccination in 1949, diseases among children were controlled.
The success of the vaccination program in the 20th century was taken as a concept of disease eradication. After a long vaccination campaign, the small box was diminished worldwide. Even polio was eradicated in 2000.
The first-ever medical product, Penicillin, was developed in the 19th century to provide quick and reliable treatment for various bacterial diseases. Earlier, this medicine was used by soldiers to heal their wounds and treat their sickness.
Antibiotics have saved many lives from 1900 to the present. Many drugs were also developed to treat viral infections like herpes, fungal infections, parasitic diseases, and many more.
With the advancement in technology, an increased number of detecting, monitoring, and diagnosing devices were developed to deal with infectious diseases. Even the development in the early 20th century led to the introduction of serological testing, and the recent development was molecular assays.
With the use of computers and other ways of communication over the decades, it has become easier to gather and analyze data regarding disease surveillance.
In the 1910s, serological testing was introduced, and it became the only method to diagnose or control infectious diseases. It was hard to diagnose and control various diseases like gonorrhea and Syphilis. With Serological testing all around the world, it became easier to facilitate the diagnosis of syphilis or other various infections.
In the late 19th century, the first viral isolation technique came into existence. Such a technique used small sieves to strain infected material and inoculates test animals to show the substance retained to control disease-causing activity.
The first-ever filtered virus was the tobacco mosaic virus. Also, the yellow fever virus was filtered by US Army Command.
Molecular techniques can increase the capacity to control the transmission of various threats and find new ways to treat them. During the late 20th century, molecule biology has introduced many effective tools to detect and characterize various infectious pathogens.
With the use of nucleic acid hybridization and sequencing techniques, it became easier to detect causing agents of various diseases like Hepatitis C, AIDS, and many more.
Understanding the history of our mortality and how far we have come in just a hundred years is not just an exercise in self congratulation. There are several lessons to be learnt from this data, and how various technological and scientific advancements have created an impact on the lives of people.
It guides us towards greater research funding for efforts to eradicate major diseases, and the benefits of keeping a scientific and rational approach towards medicine.

A Seat of Power: The Life of Senator Wallace F. Bennetts Chair
Published: June 13, 2016 | Author: Bailey Bowthorpe | Category: Special Events
After a 24-year career of intense debate, close votes, and history-making compromise in Washington, DC, one can expect to emerge with more than a few proverbial scratches, bumps and bruises. So a 35 hour ride in a moving truck from Washington, DC to St. George, Utah seemed much less cutthroat than a high-level political career.
However, this particular journey proved to be more injury laden than a combined total of 47 years in Washington, DC. 24 years on the floor of the Senate, witnessing the passage of the civil rights act, the voting rights act, the creation of Medicare and Medicaid, Nixon's resignation, the Vietnam War and then 23 subsequent years in the study of political lobbyist turned Southern Utah University professor Douglas Bennett, one may have thought this chair was invincible.
But, upon arrival in St. George, Bennett found his grandfather's chair in shambles. The wooden legs were beat up, one arm was completely broken, the base had caved in, the leather was scratched, and the finish worn down. The moving truck had not been forgiving.
The Senator and his chair
This is no ordinary chair. It sat on the floor of the U.S. Senate during some of the most tumultuous political times in American history and Doug's grandfather, Wallace F. Bennett, was at the center of it all as a United States Senator from Utah. Senator Bennett, a Republican, was elected in 1950 and served the state of Utah for four subsequent terms. While in office, he focused on water and land issues, sat on the Finance and Banking committees (eventually as the Ranking Member), the Senate Select Committee on Atomic Energy, and as the vice chair of the Senate Ethics Committee. Doug Bennett describes him as a "remarkably humble and gracious man...deeply ethical and honest with a wonderful sense of humor."
Tom Korologos, former U.S. Ambassador to Belgium, worked as a staff member for Senator Bennett from 1962 to 1971, the last five of those years as his chief of staff. Korologos explained the Senate Chamber as being "tradition bound from top to bottom".
The chamber is split in half by an aisle--the Democrats sit on one side and the Republicans on the other. The more senior the Senator, the closer to the front and center is his or her chair. The Majority Leader sits in the front row seat closest to the aisle, the Minority Leader sits across the aisle, (where the famous political term "working across the aisle" comes from), and each of the other chairs are assigned by seniority.
"Senator Bennett was very senior, so as I recall, he sat in the third chair over from the aisle," Korologos said. "The chairs themselves are on wheels...and usually follow the senator as he moves closer to the front," he explained. "Senators can buy their chair when they leave, so the chairs are rotated out frequently."
"Senator Bennett was the Ranking Member on the Finance Committee, so whenever economic bills were up on the floor, he sat in that chair to manage the bill," Korologos said. Whenever the Senator managed a bill, his top aide would sit next to him and be his assistant. "He would give the speech and I would take notes, and whenever the Senator was questioned on something, he would turn to me for the answer. These were pre-Google days," Korologos reflected, "So I had to have all that data at my disposal in case someone asked a question."
Doug spent several of his childhood summers with his grandfather in Washington, DC. The senator loved to walk in fact, as Doug recalls, he walked everyday to the Dirksen Senate Office Building--an approximately six mile journey from his DC apartment. "When I stayed with him, he would wake me up at five in the morning, and say 'come on Doug, let's get going, we've got to get to the office', I'd make it to Dupont Circle and say 'Grandpa, we've got to call a cab!' I was fourteen years old and I was exhausted trying to keep up with him."
Doug Bennett said those summers and many other moments working with his grandfather inspired him to get involved in politics. "It opened up a whole new world to me, I couldn't wait to get back to Washington because it was so compelling, it was so dramatic...it's where people were making decisions that affected the whole world, and I very much wanted to be a part of that."
When Doug Bennett went to Washington to start his career in 1989 as counsel to the House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce, most of the people who served with his grandfather were gone. One day, at a reception in the Capitol he was introduced to Senator Joe Biden. "Sen. Biden asked if I was related to Wallace Bennett, and I said that I was," Doug remembered. Biden told Bennett "you're always welcome in my office" and continued, "when I was first elected, before I was sworn in, my wife and daughter were killed in an automobile accident. My whole world crumbled and I was only 29 years old. But one day, I got a letter from a man I'd never met, and the letter said, 'you don't know me, but you have just experienced a tremendous loss and you're about to begin a very difficult career, so if there's ever anything I can do to help, I will.'
"Well," Doug said with a bit of emotion in his voice, "that letter was from Grandpa. Across the aisle, across the country, across the ideological lines of left and right...I think with a little bit more of that, the place [Congress] would work better."
Back in St. George
Wallace Bennett died in 1993, and Doug said he "got the chair by wrestling it away from my little brother." He then offered it to his uncle, Wallace's son, Utah Senator Bob Bennett, who said "he wanted to keep his own" Senate chair, which he eventually did. So, it stayed at Doug's home in Washington, DC until he moved to St. George in 2014. "I always like to keep it nearby, because every time I look at it, it reminds me of him (his Grandpa), and I like being reminded of him," Doug said.
Shortly after Doug Bennett began teaching Political Science classes at SUU in the spring semester of 2014, someone told him that Clay Crozier, one of his political science students from Roosevelt, Utah had experience in building and refurbishing furniture.
Crozier said he took a cabinetry class in high school and fell in love with cabinetry and furniture design shortly after that, taking his furniture designs throughout the state to compete in fairs, always winning the top prize. Crozier did a few other furniture projects after high school, but hardly anything once he got to SUU, although his friends always liked to see the pictures of his immaculate 5-piece bedroom set and joked they wanted him to build furniture for their college apartments.
"We were in Professor Bennett's American National Government class one day and it came up that I make wood furniture," Crozier said. Bennett immediately asked Crozier to get in touch with him about a possible project of fixing up the chair.
Crozier said that Bennett told him this was a "side job" and not tied to his academic performance in his class.
"I told him, you do a great job on the chair and a bad job in class, you won't get a good grade; you do a bad job on the chair and a great job in class, you'll get a good grade--but don't screw up the chair, " Bennett joked.
"He had the chair for a couple of months and when he brought it back, Mary (Bennett's wife) and I just said, 'wow, it's better than new!' he did a beautiful job. We know it's at least 66 years old, and probably older, and Clay made it look like new," Bennett said.
"He was dazzled with it," Crozier said "I didn't know much about Senator Wallace Bennett before I started working on the chair, and so Professor Bennett told me a little about the history behind it and how he and his grandpa were so close."
Crozier said knowing it was the Senator's chair made it more of a 'priceless item' taking that into consideration as he was working on it. "I made sure it was done really well," he said.
"I thought about it, and said, 'what would Grandpa do?', and I think Grandpa would rather have it refinished and restored by a bright young man from Utah than a random furniture shop," Doug Bennett said.
The chair now sits in Bennett's fourth floor office, where students visit him regularly to joke around, talk about the political news of the day and get career advice. It continues to remind Doug of the humble, funny and generous man he walked to the U.S. Capitol with during his teenage summers. After learning about Senator Wallace Bennett, it's not surprising Doug loves working with students, and why students love him so much. He and his grandfather share many of the same personality traits.
Inspired by his favorite professor, Crozier is attending law school this fall, and eventually plans to get involved in politics. He is currently spending the summer in Washington, DC, his first time in the nation's capital, as an intern in the U.S. Senate for Senator Lee. Although this time his work for a senator will involve policy, not furniture polish.

A day and a half earlier, I had embarked upon a solo cross-country ride on my bike; covering 1200 miles in about 30 hours. After a 4-day family reunion, I made my way back home. That's how I'd spend a week of summer vacation back then. Ahhh... The good old days.
Welcome to my bike page entirely devoted to vintage motorcycles. Motorcycles are fast becoming the latest must-haves for long-time vehicle collectors and the new breed of vintage vehicle collectors.
While British bikes like Nortons, BSAs, and Triumphs have been the mainstay for the past thirty or so years; Japanese, German, and Italian models are quickly catching up in popularity to become the bikes at the top of wish-lists of vintage bike riders and collectors alike.
Then here a full three decades later, 2015 in Las Vegas on the floor of a 700-plus motorcycle Mecum Motorcycle Auction, standing next to a similar bike to mine. Apparel by See See Motorcycle.
For awhile; I'd been searching around to replace my good, old Kawasaki. Finally, I found the one. She's a one-owner, original GPZ with only 10,000 miles on her. She spent the last decade neglected and collecting dust in someone's garage. All she needed was the right guy to come along to find her and to show her some TLC.
It feels really great to have this old friend back in my life. Wish I still had that old sweater too!
It's been a bit more than a year since I bought my second '83 Kawasaki GPZ 750 and I've had a blast putting 8,000+ trouble-free miles on it. Every free weekend was spent riding through Central and Eastern Oregon, as far east as Spokane and west out to the Coast. While the long rides were not the most comfortable; after a quick gas break, I was always ready to get back on and go again. Best of all, it has never broken down of left me stranded. This next year, I plan on checking out Southern Oregon and enjoying many more fun-filled miles.
Shown in the above photo was my first real road bike. It was a 1978 Yamaha 850. What makes it rare was that it had a three-cylinder engine. Today it is quite collectible. Expect to pay $5,000 to $9,000 for a restored example. Pictured on the right is really what got me started. This was my first mini bike at aged ten. It made by the Sears Company in 1971. What started out as just a pile of parts, my dad put all together for me. I spent hours after school and all summer riding that thing around.
I was one of those lucky kids who grew up in the '70s who got to race go-karts for a decade into the early '80s. While the go-karts we raced from this time period were quite primative when compared with today's sophisticated models, they sure were a lot of fun to race. Because most karts were raced hard, wrecked, and repaired numerous times throughout their racing careers; when they were no longer useable or outdated, most were parted out. What little was left, went into the scrap heap. Move ahead now to 2015, those 40 to 50-year old karts are extremely difficult to find. Bare frames can be bought for just a few hundred dollars, while fully-restored examples can be priced over $10K. Nowadays, there is a strong market for vintage go-karts. There's even a racing series devoted to the maintaining and racing of these old machines. Check it out at Vintage Karting Association vkakarting.com.
The Sang Froid Riding Club let a bunch of us 4-strokers join in on its most recent annual 2-stroke summer ride. My buddies and I met first at the Two Stroke Coffee Company in St. John for our morning javas, then we went on to the Lighthouse Inn at the official meeting place of the ride. We ended up at a member's Scappoose acreage where we all were invited to ride on his private dirt track. It was sure a lot of fun!
I love Metalflake. Here is an entire wall of Metalflake helmets! Pictured below is an old school motorcycle fender that's never been mounted. I found and bought this at the See See Motor Coffee Company, where they have the occasional swap meet of bikes and parts.
Pictured here are some of the unique things I found when I went to check out Progressive's International Motorcycle Show's PDX stop. They ran the gamut from helmet art to bike artists. Bike artists who worked with metal, Metalflake, as well as paint applied onto canvas with chopsticks. The ten-city tour started here in Portland, OR.
Caught up with a couple of cool cucumbers on a high-pitched, Saturday morning with the Sang-Froid Riding Club Two-Stroke Street Ride. Sang-Froid comes from its Latin roots "Sanguis Frigidus" which translates into "cold blood" or "cool under pressure". This is the Portland-headquartered Sang-Froid Riding Club's motto.
I thought I would share this picture with you. To some, it may look like a pile of junk ready for the scrapyard. In reality, there are actually several collectibles in this collection of old bikes. Early Hondas and vintage MX bikes are highly sought after in today's market. No one really thought that an old motorcycle would ever be worth saving; so many ended up in heaps like this. But in today's growing vintage motorcycle market, a single like-original part could be worth more than the entire bike itself was originally.
Like a kid in a candy store with my bid card at the circuit's first auction of the year. Here I am in the audience at the Bonham's Classic Motorcycle Show in Vegas held during the first week of January.
This 1978 Honda Elsinore was a favorite of mine at The One Motorcycle Show held here in Portland in February earlier this year. As I have mentioned in past, most MX bikes were not really considered worth saving. Though when restored, they can go for top dollar. This nicely restored example is valued at anywhere between $7,000 and $9,000.
There have only been a handful of factory-produced turbo-charged motorcycles. Many of which have long been relegated to the scrap pile; either because they were wrecked or their engines blown. Because of the complex nature of their construction and engineering, sometimes they were left in corners of garages and soon-became long forgotten relics. Excessive turbo lag made riding any of these turbo-charged bikes extremely challenging. Most turbo-charged bikes were typically raced solely on drag strips where only then the full potential of the turbo could be realized. In the above picture is a Kawasaki Z 750 Turbo. Similar others produced in the late '70s and early '80s were the Kawasaki GPZ 750 Turbo, the Honda CX 500 and 650 Turbos, the Yamaha XJ 650 Turbo and Suzuki XN 85 Turbo. If you are looking to find a turbo bike for sale, make sure you have done your homework. Some of the best bikes I have seen have sold for more than $20K, but then I have also seen others on eBay going for less than $10K with no bids at all.
How many of you have ever heard of the Rokon Motorcycle? Founded in Vermont in 1963, they were the first two-wheel drive motorcycle produced; using a combination of belt, chain, and shaft drives coupled with gear boxes to drive both front and rear wheels at the same time. While older models were powered by West Bend engines, newer versions have either a Honda or Kohler. Though not built for speed, it can climb any hill you put it up against. Interesting from an engineering standpoint a rare original Rokon in good condition can cost $2,500 to $5,000; while a fully-restored one close to $10,000.
I finally dusted off my old CBX after it had been sitting for the past year. I don't get to ride it as much as I would like to. When I do though, it's always fun to see the reaction I get when people see a CBX for the first time. Most people hardly give it a second glance, but the bike guys know what it is. It is rare to see anyone else even riding one. That's too bad, because it really is a fun bike to ride; even with its oversized engine, weak brakes, heavy steering and skinny tires. It was built in an era when you wanted to go fast, you just put a bigger engine into the frame. But once you hear and feel the wonderful howl of the twin-cam, six-cylinder engine beneath you; you immediately know why the CBX will always make the short list amongst motorcycle collectors. Values are on the upswing for the Honda, too. You can still find beater bikes for under $3,000. Expect to pay $5,000+ for riders in good condition and anywhere from $12,000 to $20,000 for nearly original or fully-restored examples.
Below are the accompanying photos of a Saturday ride out to St. Johns in North Portland from my Bikes and Lattes blog. Check it out for the video link from the same day!
The Honda CT 70 was one of Honda's best selling motorcycles, nearly surpassing the CB 750 in overall sales in the 1970's. Ask any bike guy aged 45 to 65 what was the first bike he rode. Most will tell you it was the Honda CT 70. They were everywhere in the 1970s. Original MSRP was just $395. At that price, you could convince your dad to split the cost of it with your summer job earnings. They were virtually indestructible; so today there are still many left in varying conditions. They have also become quite collectible too. This 1970 model was bought at garage sale in non-running condition. It still has all of its original paint with a reproduction seat cover, but is missing the front fender. Should you buy one? I think so. Expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred dollars for just a pile of parts, to more than $3,000 for a fully-restored one. Apparel by Bikecurious.
This 1965 Honda 305 Dream had been forgotten in storage for many years when I found it for sale on CraigsList. All it really needed was a super good detail, a new battery, and a rebuild of the carburetor. I paid $1,700 and paid it a couple hours of TLC, then sold it at auction for $3,100.
If you are ever in Portland, Oregon make sure you take a trip down to Wilsonville to visit the World of Speed Museum. Here I'm standing next to some of the Pacific Northwest's history-making race bikes.
The World of Speed all dressed up for a night of celebration and fundraising!
You never know what you're going to find at your local swap meet. On a recent Saturday, I took a quick stroll through Cycle Heap's annual Moto Meet here in the Rose City. It looked like a tailgate party of motorcycle parts. I went because I'm looking at racing a vintage dirt bike next year. This rare Can Am caught my eye.
Bob Lanphere Senior's collection of rare bikes is located in Tigard, Oregon. Not too far from Portland, I went over to check it out. Because he was a Honda guy, there are lots of them displayed at his car dealership. Here are a couple from the bunch. Some are displayed alongside black and white photos of Bob riding them back in the day.
I walk past this beauty enroute to my caffeinated watering hole nearly every day. She's always sitting in the exact spot on the street in the rain. This day, it didn't happen to be raining; so we stopped to take a closer look and ended up snapping some pics. A Honda CB350 Four in great condition; this one in Candy Bacchus Olive must be a 1972 or 1973. In 1974, it was offered in only one color. All-told, this specific model was produced a few short years between 1972 and 1974.
Not only are the bikes within the pages of the Bonhams catalogues works of art, but so are the font and photography of the publications themselves. These are this autumn's pair of beautifully designed Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show catalogues.
We've got another moto cafe in town. Sweet!
Great vibe. Good coffee. An upstairs loft. A couple of cool vintage Yamaha bikes. Big screen playing back-to-back bike races. Yet family-friendly. It's on North Lombard Street, just on the other side of the St. John's Bridge, which happens to be one of our favorite bridges here in Portland. It's the Two Stroke Coffee Company. Open seven days a week, early till late. Take a peek!
A bunch more vintage bikes that I came across at some shows this past summer: a Honda extravaganza in Jackson Hole, Wyoming; some mixed bikes at the Forest Grove Concours d'Elegance, a show of cars and motorcycles that takes place at the Pacific University here in Portland; and finally, a rare Vincent at the Antique Air Museum out in Hood River.
Another year means another Bonhams bike auction. Yeah!
My latest moto madness... Love having the old GPZ back in my life! To complete the entire package, I recently got a new Shoei helmet too. Fits like a glove!
My favorite kind of mountain bike.
Two of my favorite moto-friendly Oregon pitstops: Two Stroke Coffee Company in St. John, above; and below, Eastwind Drive-In on the main strip of Cascade Locks.
The wide open spaces of Sherman County, Oregon.
The Honda CBX engine always makes a statement.
There was competitive bidding all the way to the end, as Steve McQueen's Triumph sold for $175,000.
I think this 1978 Kawasaki Z1R-TC made for just two years was a buy at $16,000.
Off for my last ride of 2018.
I like this old poster.
My dad found this nice Honda ct 70 at a garage sale. He ran out of space in his shop so in he gave to me. It travel down to Portland in his camping trailer.

It's a natural fit for barn, forest or nature-inspired venues and provides a focal point at a more minimalist reception in a backyard or park. This little trailer serves up big happiness and loads of charm, culminating in an unforgettable experience.
"I'd like to point out that the bar is likely the most repeatedly visited space of the party, but the details of the bar experience have largely been ignored," said Wendy VanWagoner, owner of Happy Bar Services.
It's VanWagoner's mission to enhance the atmosphere of the party via cocktails from her trailer that'll be considered the hot spot by professional wedding photographers and guests for candid, Instagram-worthy pictures. The Happy Horse Bar can be dressed up in wedding flowers, decorative string lights and straw bales to create the mood.
Services include beverage menu planning and shopping lists, and on the special day, the trailer rolls up with a bartending staff and all the supplies, complete with napkins, garnishes and non-alcoholic mixers. The hosts purchase the alcohol (in Michigan, only brick-and-mortar businesses can get liquor licenses) while the Happy Horse Bar serves it up. It works in the host's favor, as they forego paying a significant markup on their bar tab.
"I guarantee people will be talking about it well after the party ends," said VanWagoner. From a signature cocktail to a customized fruity spirit that fits into the night's theme, the crew in the trailer hooks you up with the right sip, adding a playful and unexpected highlight to the celebration.

Man accused of murdering his father appears in court
His father was airlifted to hospital and later died of a head injury
A man accused of murdering his father has appeared in court today (Friday, May 24).
Dorset Police were called to a report of a serious assault at a Ridgeway property in Sherborne at 5.11pm on Tuesday (May 21).
The victim – named by detectives as 73-year-old Robert Hodgson – was taken to hospital by air ambulance where he later died.
A post-mortem examination was carried out on Wednesday (May 22) which concluded he died as a result of a head injury.

His son, Dominic William Hodgson, 36 and also from Sherborne, was charged with murder yesterday (Thursday, May 23).
At a preliminary hearing at Weymouth Magistrates' Court, Hodgson confirmed his date of birth, nationality and address.
Magistrates judge Michael Davis ordered Dominic Hodgson to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Wednesday, May 29.
He told the accused: "This matter can only be dealt at crown court.
Flower have been laid at an address in Sherborne where police have launched a murder investigation.
"You will be sent to Winchester Crown Court on Wednesday, May 29.
"You will be remanded in custody until then."
Hodgson will be asked to enter his plea at Winchester Crown Court.
Kenneth Sharpe, defending, confirmed Hodgson's plea is unknown at this time.
The accused will remain in custody until then.

2005 C55 AMG - Fully loaded & thoroughly enjoyed!
It's finally time to sell my C55 AMG. This is a two-owner car; I originally purchased this car in 2009 with 46,000 miles, and I've had it for 9-1/2 years now with a total of 218,000 miles.
Through 2016, this was a daily driver Georgia car, and now is a Michigan car (including the winters).
Overall, this has been a FANTASTIC car over the past decade, but now it's definitely time to go to the next owner. I foresee this car as an awesome car for anyone who wants to put in a little wrench time to get it in perfect shape, or just leave it as is and enjoy it/use it. The A/C works, electronics work, all of the basics all work without issue.
All original books, window sticker, etc will be included. This is the best deal currently on the market for a C55, and while it does have 218,000 miles, it hasn't been beat to the ground to get there.
IMO it would be worth it to fix the starter so you at least have a runner. You could probably command another $1k for a <$500 fix. Nice ad though. I have the same car (and color) only mine is an 06 with 175k. Still feels solid.
Just replaced the rear tires, so now it has new tires all the way around!
I've also gone ahead and ordered the sunroof lube so I can get the sunroof working again.
I've gone ahead and removed all of the window tint and glue from the side windows, and this weekend I'll be working on finishing off the rear window (it was looking terrible with the bubbling).
I also went ahead and re-lubed the sunroof with the special Mercedes sunroof grease so it's operational again. The auto-close function still stops it short sometimes though (thinking there's an arm caught in the way upon auto-closing), but hey that's a 15 year old car for you.
I also took another closer look at the engine bay and I did confirm that the oil leaks are coming from both valve covers (closer to the rear), the oil cooler, and I still suspect the rear main seal. I may go ahead and buy these relatively cheap valve and cooler seals and start changing them out over time if nobody comes and picks up the car. I've had quite a few offers in the $4k range (which I'm surprised so many people even know about this rare AMG) but I'm really looking for an offer to start with a 5.
using the scraper "razor blades", pick up the corners of the tint and peel it off.
Then cover everything on the back of the car by the window shelf.
Then spray brake cleaner onto the remaining, solidified tint glue. Have two cans of brake cleaner available.
This will melt the tint glue.
Then using plastic "razorblades", scrape the tint glue from the rear windoiw.
There will be some small leftovers.
Use Krazy Clean foaming cleaner spray and steel wool to loosen this up.
There are several grades of steel wool, you have to get the mild one and make sure it's not detergent pre-loaded.
As you work the steel wool on top of the rear radio antenna and defroster lines, don't press hard, just turn it around, it willl loosen the remaining glue residue.
It takes in total probably 2 hours of sustained work.
And if you leave the car with the windows down afterwards for an hour or so, the smell of chemicals evaporates.
If the tint itself became brittle and doesn't want to come off in big pieces, wipe it inside with brake cleaner, to melt it a bit, so it doesn't peel into small strips.
But, most important, the antenna and defogger lines are almost guaranteed to not be damaged. While I worked doing this stuff we did dozens of cars and only had one problem with a Camaro of the 80's where a defogger line became attached to the tint itself, was a factory defect. I was doing this back in '96.
It's amazing that you have a car with such mileage and such complete functionality, I don't want you to lose factory defogger and antenna functionality.
The minute you try to scrape the glue between the lines with a steel blade, ... it's over, sorry.

In the end, that does mean that the rear defroster lines did not make it. The rear tint was just incredibly impossible to remove; nothing like the side windows, which were hard enough. ~15 years really did a number on the tint.
On another note, I did take some time today to replace the two side seals on the oil cooler and the passenger side valve cover gasket. The oil cooler seals were rock hard; they weren't even rubbery anymore. No wonder they leaked. I was not able to replace the bottom seal on the oil cooler; I was not able to remove the 46 mm nut, even with a breaker bar. And I wasn't about to put an impact gun on an area that basically feeds oil directly into the crankcase.
Fresh oil change with Mobil 1 0-40. I didn't want to run the engine too much with having the valve cover and oil cooler previously open in the event any dirt got inside.
Note that the rear brakes are not the factory 300mm rotor with caliper; I upgraded to a CL600 setup that is a 315mm rotor with a larger bodied caliper (but same 42mm piston size).
And here are some underbody pics as well.

\section*{Conclusions}
We have seen how Einstein was able to use the principle of thermodynamic equilibrium to
imagine a situation where radiation and matter were in dynamical equilibrium and from that
predict new features of the radiative transfer process. As mentioned before, this was a
recurring theme in his work, a kind of {\it modus operandi} for the great ``detective''. In his
later writings, he said that he always sought one fundamental governing principle from which
he could derive results through these kind of arguments. He found such a principle for
thermodynamics, namely the second law of thermodynamics, which states that it is
impossible to build a perpetual motion machine. He showed that the second law was a
necessary and sufficient condition for deriving all the results of thermodynamics. His quest in
the last four decades of his life was to geometrize all forces of nature. In this quest, he felt
that he had indeed found the one principle that would allow him to do this uniquely, and this
was the {\it principle of relativity:}
\begin{itemize}
\item[] {\it the laws of physics must look the same to all observers no matter what their state
of motion.}
\end{itemize}
He had already used this principle to geometrize gravity in the general theory of relativity.
His attempts at geometrizing electromagnetic forces remained an unfulfilled dream, but that
is a story for another day.

\newpage
\section*{Appendix. Examples of {\it gedanken} experiments}
We present two examples of {\it gedanken} experiments that illustrate the Einstein technique
for arriving at new results. Both of these experiments yield results associated with the general
theory of relativity, but are so simple and elegant that they can be understood without any
knowledge of the complex mathematical apparatus needed for the general theory. The first
experiment is due to Einstein himself, while the second is due to Hermann Bondi. \\

\noi
{\bf Example 1.}
This is a thought experiment devised by Einstein to arrive at the conclusion that the general
theory of relativity is an extension of the special theory which requires curved spacetime, or
spacetime in which the rules of plane (Euclidean) geometry do not apply. The ``known'' facts
are the results of special theory of relativity applicable to inertial systems, and the
equivalence principle which states that inertial mass is exactly equal to gravitational mass.
Einstein's argument proceeds as follows.

Imagine two observers or coordinate systems $O$ and $O'$. Let the $z'$-axis of $O'$
coincide with the $z$-axis of $O$, and let the system $O'$ rotate about the $z$-axis of $O$
with a constant angular velocity (see {\em Figure} \ref{coord}). Thus $O$ is an inertial
system where the laws of special
relativity apply, while $O'$ is a non-inertial system. Imagine a circle drawn about the origin
in the $x'y'$ plane of $O'$ with some given diameter. Imagine, further, that we have a large
number of rigid rods, all identical to each other. We lay these rods in series along the
circumference and the diameter of the circle, at rest with respect to $O'$. If the number of
rods along the circumference is $U$ and the number of rods along the diameter is $D$, then,
if $O'$ does not rotate with respect to $O$, we have (from plane geometry)
\[ \frac{U}{D} = \pi   \]
However, if $O'$ rotates, we get a different result. We know from special relativity that,
relative to $O$, the rods on the circumference undergo Lorentz contraction while the rods
along the diameter do not undergo this contraction (the relative motion is perpendicular to the
diameter). Therefore, we are led to the unavoidable conclusion that
\[ \frac{U}{D} > \pi   \]
{\it i.e.\ }the laws of configuration of rigid bodies with respect to $O'$ is not in accordance
with plane geometry. If, further, we place two identical clocks, at rest with respect to $O'$,
one at the periphery and one at the centre of the circle, then with respect to $O$ the clock at
the periphery will go slower than the clock at the centre (from special relativity, moving
clocks go slower). A similar conclusion will be reached by $O'$, {\it i.e.\ }the two clocks go
at different rates.

\begin{figure}
\centering{\resizebox{0.5\columnwidth}{!}{\includegraphics{fig1.eps}}}
\caption{Coordinate systems with relative rotation between them.}
\label{coord}
\end{figure}

We thus see that space and time cannot be defined with respect to $O'$ as they were defined
in special theory of relativity for inertial systems. But, according to the equivalence principle,
$O'$ can also be considered a system at rest with respect to which there is a gravitational
field (corresponding to the centrifugal force field and the Coriolis force field). We therefore
arrive at the following remarkable result: the gravitational field influences and even
determines the geometry of the space-time continuum, and this geometry is not Euclidean.
From this conclusion, Einstein goes on to develop a curved spacetime theory of gravitation.  \\

\noi
{\bf Example 2.}
This example illustrates the use of a thought experiment to calculate the difference in rates
between two clocks placed at different gravitational potentials, called the gravitational
redshift. We have already seen in the first example how the rate of the clock at the periphery
differs from the rate of the clock at the centre. Here, we derive a quantitative value
for this difference using an Einstein-like {\it gedanken} experiment, first conceived by Bondi.
The ``known'' things are the second law of thermodynamics and the special relativistic
energy-mass relationship, $E=mc^2$. The argument proceeds as follows.

Imagine a series of buckets on a frictionless pulley system, as shown in {\em Figure} \ref{bondi}. Each
bucket contains an atom capable of absorbing or emitting a photon of energy $h\nu$. The
system is in a uniform gravitational field with acceleration $g$. If the photon frequency were
unaffected by the gravitational field, we can operate the system as a perpetual motion
machine in the following way. Imagine that the pulleys rotate clockwise and that all the
atoms on the left are in the ground state and the atoms on the right are in the excited state.
The lifetime in the excited state is such that, on average,
every time a bucket reaches the bottom the atom inside decays to the ground
state and emits a photon. Suitable reflectors direct this photon to the
corresponding bucket at the top so that the atom inside absorbs the photon
and goes into the excited state.
All the excited state atoms on the right have
more energy and, from the relation $E=mc^2$, are therefore heavier by an amount $\Delta
m=h\nu /c^2$. The heavier masses are accelerated down by the gravitational field
and the system remains in perpetual motion. The excess gravitational potential energy can be
converted to unlimited useful work, in violation of the second law of thermodynamics.

\begin{figure}
\centering{\resizebox{0.5\columnwidth}{!}{\includegraphics{fig2.eps}}}
\caption{
Bondi's perpetual motion machine. The buckets on the right side contain atoms that have
higher energy and are thus heavier than the atoms on the left side. When a bucket reaches the
bottom, the atom inside emits a photon which is absorbed by the corresponding atom in the
top bucket. The heavier buckets on the right keep falling down in the gravitational field and
their gravitational energy can be converted to useful work. The resolution to the paradox is
that the photon absorbed at the top has a lower frequency than the photon emitted at the
bottom.
}
\label{bondi}
\end{figure}

The solution to the paradox lies in postulating that the frequency of the photon emitted by the
atom at the bottom is not the same as the frequency of the photon when it reaches the top. Let
the two frequencies be $\nu$ and $\nu'$ respectively. Then the additional mass for the atom
at the top by absorbing a photon of frequency $\nu'$ is $h\nu' /c^2$, and the potential energy
of this excess mass at a height $H$ between the two buckets is $h\nu'/c^2 \times gH$. To
maintain consistency with the second law of thermodynamics, this excess energy should
exactly compensate for the loss in energy of the photon as its frequency changes from $\nu$
to $\nu'$:
\[ \frac{h \nu'}{c^2} gH = h (\nu - \nu') \]
which yields
\[ \frac{\nu'-\nu}{\nu'} = - \frac{g H}{c^2}    \]
{\it i.e.\ }the relative frequency shift is given by $gH/c^2$ and is negative (redshift) at the
location where the gravitational potential is higher. The shift can be understood from the fact
that the photon is also affected by the gravitational field and therefore loses energy as it
climbs up the potential. Since the photon always travels at the speed $c$, it loses energy by
changing its frequency. This result explains why, in the first example, the clock at the centre
goes slower than the clock in the periphery according to $O'$. With respect to $O'$, there is a
gravitational field (corresponding to the centrifugal force) pointing away from the centre. The
clock at the centre is at a higher gravitational potential and hence goes slower.

The gravitational redshift on the surface of the earth is very tiny at any reasonable height, but
it was experimentally verified in a remarkable experiment by Pound and Rebka in 1959. They
measured the frequency shift between the top and bottom of a building at Harvard University,
a height difference of about 25 m. The relative frequency shift measured was a tiny 3 parts in
$10^{14}$, consistent with the above calculation!

Home GHANA LOCAL NEWS Public Holidays Bill passed; Minority walks out again
Public Holidays Bill passed; Minority walks out again
Parliament has passed the Public Holidays amendment bill 2018.
The bill which is seeking to scrap AU and Republic Days as public holidays and introduce January 7 as Constitution day generated heated exchanges on the floor during the consideration stage leading to a boycott by the NDC MPs.
The Minority is vehemently opposed to the move arguing President Akufo-Addo is seeking to rewrite the history of Ghana to glorify his late family members such as JB Danquah and Ofori Attah.
Immediately the bill was introduced for the 3rd reading and subsequent passage, Minority leader Haruna Iddrisu led his charges out of the chamber once again.
The bill was nonetheless passed by the majority.
Minority's argument
Haruna Iddrisu, who is the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale South, said every country had an icon and indicated that Dr. Nkrumah was Ghana's icon and must be recognized as such.
He said even the BBC had recognised Dr. Nkrumah as the African of the Millennium, while his statue had been mounted at the African Union (AU) Headquarters in Ethiopia.
Therefore, he said, any attempt to change the founder's status of Dr Nkrumah to have a founders' day celebration was an attempt to "deny him the due reverence."
Mr Iddrisu said anytime there was a change in leadership in the country, that historical anomaly would be corrected and indicated that the frequent changes would not do any good to the country's image.
He also faulted the government's decision to celebrate January 7 as a holiday, and indicated that the President and MPs were sworn in on January 7.

Q: How to run a script for multiple inputs and save result objects based on the name of input? To run the same set of commands and save the result objects for each time series, I wrote the script in the following manner :
# Specify time series to be used

dat <- tsname

# Run a set of commands and fit models with different parameters
dat.1 <- model1(dat)
dat.2 <- model2(dat)
dat.3 <- model3(dat)

# Save objects for further analysis

tsname.1 <- dat.1
tsname.2 <- dat.2

save(tsname.1, tsname.2, tsname.3, file = paste0("tsname", ".rda")

In this way, we just need to change the script in the beginning and end, save the script for each time series and run each of them individually or in a main script.
The main reason for this method was because I could not find a way to rename the objects created and some search suggested that the above is the only way to do it.
Now as the number of series has increased, it is preferable to either use a for loop, foreach, batch script or commandArgs() to run one script and specify all time series as arguments.
To make that work though, the script must find a way to assign these objects with name of series itself so that they can be loaded later for further analysis.
How can we make such a script work or is there a better approach ? Which method of looping will work in that case ?
A MWE
set.seed(1)
tsdata <- ts(rnorm(250), start = c(1980,1), frequency = 12)
dat <- tsdata
dat.11 <- arima(dat, order = c(1, 1, 1))
dat.21 <- arima(dat, order = c(2, 1, 0))

tsname.11 <- dat.11  # problem is to specify this step in each script
tsname.21 <- dat.21
save(tsname.11, , file = "tsname.rda")

REVISED the code
How can we execute this script for multiple time series and store the results and result objects for further analysis ? If Batch command can be used, what is the best way to input set of multiple time series?
How can we run the script for one series, over a set of time series of same or mixed length?

A: The function sets datname to the name of the input variable.  Then define a list L of model outputs and add names.  Finally use with(L, ...) to regard the list component names as variable names in ... and use save(list = ..., ...) which allows specification of the variables as a character string of names.  Now we only have to set up the data and call the function to run it.  If you have several data sets call the function for each one.
run <- function(dat, datname = deparse(subset(dat))) {

  L <- list(
       arima(dat, order = c(1, 1, 1)),
       arima(dat, order = c(2, 1, 0))
     )
  names(L) <- paste(datname, seq_along(L), sep = ".")

  with(L, save(list = names(L), file = paste0(datname, ".rda")))

}

set.seed(1)
soi <- ts(rnorm(250), start = c(1980,1), frequency = 12)
run(soi)

Another possibility might be to save the entire list rather than its components separately. That is, replace the with statement with
  listname <- paste0(datname, ".models")
  assign(listname, L)
  save(list = listname, file = paste0(datname, ".rda"))

REVISED Some corrections and added alternative at end.

A: I show a couple ways to create and retrieve individual objects using assign and get, but also provide an alternative where all model runs are stored as different elements of a list. Similarly, I show how you can save each model run in separate files (soi.1.rda, etc), but that you can also save everything together, in one step :)
# ===========================================
# = Set up model params, generate test data =
# ===========================================
mod.param <- 1:5 # orders of AR to try ...
test.soi <- arima.sim(model=list(ar=c(0.5, -0.2)), n=20)

# ===========================================================
# = Create empty vectors/ list to store data and data names =
# ===========================================================
dat.names <- c() # a place to store the names of the individual objects that we'll create
save.names <- c() # the names of the files to save, e.g., "soi.1"
dat.all <- list() # as an altnerative, you can save each analysis in different elements of a list

# ===================================================
# = Loop through each type of model, saving results =
# ===================================================
for(i in 1:length(mod.param)){ # loop through each model you want to run
    temp.dat <- arima(test.soi, order=c(mod.param[i], 0, 0)) # temp.dat is the current model result
    dat.names[i] <- paste("dat", i, sep=".") # dat.names stores the names of all the dat.x objects

    assign(dat.names[i], temp.dat) # use assign() to create an object with name of temp.dat.name

    # dat.all[[dat.names[i]]] <- temp.dat # store the object in a list
    dat.all[[dat.names[i]]] <- get(dat.names[i]) # same as above, but using get(), which complements assign() nicely

    save.name <- paste("soi", i, "rda", sep=".") # I'm assuming the file should be named soi.1.rda, not soi.rda
    save(list=dat.names[i], file=save.name) # save soi.1.rda, soi.2.rda ... etc.
}

# But we don't have to save each file individually!
# We can save a file that contains our list of models (dat.all), as well as each model object (dat.1, dat.2 ... etc.)
all.objs <- ls() # what are all of the object names in our working memory?
dat.objs <- all.objs[all.objs%in%c(dat.names, "dat.all")] # subset to the names of objects we want to save
save(list=dat.objs, file="everything.rda") # save all relevant objects in 1 .rda file

print(dat.1)
print(dat.all$dat.1)

Edit: A different approach that applies each of several models to several time series
Note that the approach might change slightly depending on which models you want to apply to which time series. I've assumed that several models should be applied to each time series, and that the models differ only the the ARIMA order.
The results can be saved as 1 nested list (different model results grouped under different time series), or with model results for each time series being saved as a separate file.
# ============================================================
# = Generate many time series, many sets of model parameters =
# ============================================================
# Model parameters
n.Params <- 5
ar.orders <- 1:n.Params # orders of AR to try ...
i.orders <- rep(0, n.Params)
ma.orders <- rep(0,n.Params)
arima.params <- as.list(as.data.frame(rbind(ar.orders, i.orders, ma.orders)))

# Time Series Data
n.ts <- 10 # number of time series
test.soi <- quote(as.numeric(arima.sim(model=list(ar=c(0.2, 0.4)), n=sample(20:30, 1))))
all.soi.ts <- replicate(n.ts, eval(test.soi))
names(all.soi.ts) <- paste("soi", 1:n.ts, sep=".")

# ==============================================
# = Function to be applied to each time series =
# ==============================================
# Analyze time series
ats <- function(TS, arimaParams){
    dat.all <- list() # as an altnerative, you can save each analysis in different elements of a list
    for(i in 1:length(arimaParams)){ # loop through each model you want to run
        temp.dat <- arima(TS, order=arimaParams[[i]]) # temp.dat is the current model result
        dat.all[[i]] <- temp.dat # store the object in a list
    }
    dat.all
}

# =========================
# = All Results in 1 List =
# =========================
AllResults <- lapply(all.soi.ts, ats, arima.params) # multilevel list – top level is each TS, within each TS group are the results of all models applied to that time series
save(AllResults, file="everything.rda") # save this big list as 1 file

# ========================================================================
# = Each time series gets its own file and its own list of model results =
# ========================================================================
for(i in 1:length(all.soi.ts)){ # if you want many files, 1 file per time series, use this for loop
    temp.ts <- all.soi.ts[[i]]
    soi.name <- paste("soi", i, sep=".")
    assign(soi.name, ats(temp.ts, arima.params))
    save(list=soi.name, file=paste(soi.name, "rda", sep=".")) # each file will have a name like "soi.1.rda", containing the results of all models applied to the first time series
}

A: When you want to manipulate objects whose names are themselves stored inside a variable, just use assign() and its reverse get(). And use ls() to see which objects exist in a particular scope.
The objects don't need to be stored separately as tsname.1/2/3, model1/2/3??
You can make it real simple if you just store a vector dat[1:3].
Indeed you can have a vector of model[1:3] too. Use vectorization. It's your friend.
Use the assign("tsname.21", object,...) command and its reverse get("tsname.21") to manipulate objects by string name. Just be consistent about whether you prefer to refer to objnames or objects.
set.seed(1)
tsdata <- ts(rnorm(250), start = c(1980,1), frequency = 12)
dat <- tsdata

set.seed(1)
tsdata <- ts(rnorm(250), start = c(1980,1), frequency = 12)
dat <- tsdata

create_model <- function(data, params, objname.prefix='tsname.', envir=.GlobalEnv) {
  objname = paste(objname.prefix, params[1], params[2], sep='') # both assigns and prints it
  the.model <- arima(dat, order = params)
  assign(objname, the.model, envir) # create the var in the global env

  # If you want, you can return the varname
  return(objname)
}

# dat.11 <- arima(dat, order = c(1, 1, 1))
create_model(dat, c(1, 1, 1))

# dat.21 <- arima(dat, order = c(2, 1, 0))
create_model(dat, c(2, 1, 0))

#tsname.11 <- dat.11  # problem is to specify this step in each script
#tsname.21 <- dat.21
save(tsname.11, , file = "tsname.rda")

# Use `ls(pattern=...)` to find object-names, with wildcard matching.
all.models <- ls(pattern='tsname.*')
#[1] "tsname.11" "tsname.21"

#############
# Refactor your original code similarly.
dat <- tsname

# Run a set of commands and fit models with different parameters
dat[1] <- model1(dat)
dat[2] <- model2(dat)
dat[3] <- model3(dat)
# or maybe figure out how to use sapply here

# Save objects for further analysis
tsname <- dat[1:2] # instead of tsname.1 <- dat.1, tsname.2 <- dat.2

#
save(tsname, file = paste0("tsname", ".rda")

NPA to bang the drum for members during election campaign
18th Apr 2017 / By Alistair Driver
The NPA will call for all parties to deliver a fair deal for pig farmers from the Brexit negotiations ahead of the June General Election.
Prime Minister Theresa May sprung a surprise on Tuesday when she announced the Government's intention to hold a snap election on June 8.
There will be a vote in the House of Commons on Wednesday to approve the election plan but this is likely to be a formality, with Labour saying it will vote in favour.
Explaining her decision, Mrs May said she had concluded this course of action was 'the only way to guarantee certainty and security for years ahead'.
She accused the other political parties of 'game playing' and said this risked 'our ability to make a success of Brexit and it will cause damaging uncertainty and instability to the country'.
Mrs May said: "The country is coming together but Westminster is not."
NPA chief executive Zoe Davies said the association would use the weeks in the run up to the poll to reinforce the pig sector's priorities in the Brexit negotiations.
Zoe said: "We will call for all parties to ensure their manifestoes deliver a fair deal for the pig industry from the Brexit negotiations.
"Our top three priorities are free access to the Single Market, measures to protect UK producers and consumers from cheaper, lower standard imports, including insisting on equivalence of standards, and measures to ensure continued access to EU labour.
"We also want to see a fair and balanced regulatory regime that protects our standards on the global market but removes the unnecessary Brussels-imposed burdens, and policies that ensure we protect our borders from animal disease wherever it originates from."
"Across the range of policies that affect pig farmers, Brexit- and non-Brexit-related, we will bang the drum for our members."

Afghanistan: For a nation to succeed, girls need to be educated
Opinion Op-Eds
Right is Wrong
Stopping girls from attending schools and universities shocking, regressive, unacceptable
Published: December 27, 2022 09:10 Ashok Swain, Special to Gulf News

After announcing that universities in Afghanistan will be closed to women, the Taliban administration has even restricted girls' education above grade six in Afghanistan and closed down private schooling for girls. The aftereffects of this decision will be serious and long-lasting for the country and its people.
Though no other country has been as restrictive about girls' education as Afghanistan has become in the last year, gender disparities persist in most of the world.

As UNESCO estimates, 129 million girls are out of school, and only 49 per cent of countries have achieved gender parity in primary education.
That number goes down to 42 per cent in lower secondary education and 24 per cent in upper secondary education.
Economic hardship, the tradition of child marriage, and gender-based violence are often the causes of keeping girls out of school.

Afghan women banned from university 'for not following dress code'
Taliban minister defends ban on women's university studies
Even if girls attend schools, the completion rates for girls are much lower in low-income countries. If the country is affected by conflict and violence, girls are 2.5 times more likely not to be able to join schools compared to boys.
It is not only poverty or conflict or tradition that keeps girls out of school. As a Pew Research Center report from 2016 shows, a significant gender gap remains among all religions.
It is not the religion but the country, and its politics and policies that matter.
The lack of a gender-sensitive school system affects the interest and ambitions of girls to be educated. Schools often fail to meet the safety and sanitation needs of girls.
Some democratic countries, even in Europe, in the name of secularism, create dress codes for classrooms that puts additional challenges for girls to attend schools and colleges.
Restricting girls from attending schools and universities is not something new. Universities in Denmark allowed women to enrol in 1873, and in Sweden, it was 1875. Women had to wait till 1920 to study at the Oxford University.
Though the world's leading educational institutions no longer bar women, there is no doubt that women and girls have less access to education in many parts of the world.
Less than two-thirds of women are in paid employment globally compared to 93 per cent of men, as higher education remains out of reach for many girls and women.
Napoleon once said, "Give me an educated mother, and I shall promise you the birth of a civilised, educated nation." Investing in girls' education transforms societies and countries.
Both individuals and countries benefit from girls' education as an educated woman is likely to have fewer children, will not opt for early marriage, and their children will be healthier.
They will earn more, be willing and confident to make decisions that affect them and build better futures for themselves and their families.

Education is not a privilege
Education is a fundamental right. Discrimination against girls and women results in denying them their basic rights. Nearly half of any country's population is women; keeping them uneducated will be a huge loss.
India's literacy rate is 77.7 per cent, and while the male literacy rate is 84.7 per cent, the female literacy rate is only 70.3 per cent. If all the girls in India can study and participate in the workforce, India is expected to add at least $770 billion to its GDP by 2025.
According to a World Bank Report published in 2018, limited educational opportunities for girls and difficulties in finishing twelve years of education cost countries between $15 trillion and $30 trillion in lost lifetime productivity and earnings.

On average, women with secondary education are more likely to engage in paid work and earn twice as much as women without any education.
So, educating girls is not only the right thing to do, but it also becomes a major contributor to the economic growth of a country.
Therefore, 'Gender Equality' and 'Quality Education for All" are parts of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and these two aims connect to many other aspects of the progress of a society.
Educated women are form a vital component of the political development of a country. A woman with an education is more likely to participate in political discussions, meetings, and decision-making, which promotes a more effective and representative governance system.
Research shows that in a society where women have achieved parity with men in education, governments and other institutions functions better.
Back in July 2015, Barack Obama advised the leaders of African countries that they must educate their girls if they are to be prosperous.
Unlike the Taliban in Afghanistan, political leaders in low-income countries must do everything to encourage and support girls' education, as the very progress of their nations hinges upon the education of their women.
