Wind that can save the world
There is more than enough wind out at sea to save the world from catastrophic climate change. Trondheim is a pioneer city in the hunt for floating offshore wind. All eyes are on us. Wind is stronger across deeper water. Eighty per cent of all wind sweeps across water that is too deep for wind turbines on the sea floor. These turbines must float in the sea. The task of head researcher John Olav G. Tande and his colleagues at Sintef Energy is to find technological solutions that make it profitable to build floating wind farms at sea. Expertise at Sintef and NTNU are working to capture wind that can replace coal, oil and gas. The possibilities are nearly endless, but Tande and his colleagues are in a race against time and rising temperatures.
Enough wind for all needs
Floating offshore wind can meet global energy needs x 12.
Floating offshore wind can deliver power to 12 million homes in Europe by 2030.
Floating offshore wind can be developed on a large scale to ensure an emission-free world by 2050.
Floating offshore wind has a significant advantage, in addition to potential. Wind farms on deep water areas have few detrimental effects on nature and the environment, compared with wind turbines on land or turbines anchored to the sea floor. Structures built on the sea floor must be located near the coast or in shallow waters with large fish populations.
Breakthrough in Trondheim Trondheim has been leading the way ever since the hunt for offshore wind began. In 2005, researchers showed that a floating turbine could actually work. When they demonstrated a technological breakthrough in an experiment at the city's marine engineering laboratory, it attracted international attention.
This model experiment led to the construction of the world's first full-size, floating turbine. Equinor put the turbine, Hywind, into operation in 2009. It represented state-of-the-art engineering and became a technological success. The concept has been taken a step further in the world's first floating offshore wind farm – Hywind in the UK – which began generating power in 2017.
The search for the perfect wind turbine Around 100 researchers at Sintef and NTNU are working on issues related to offshore wind. Animal production is currently too expensive compared with other energy sources. The price per kWh must be reduced. This could be achieved through several simple measures, such as:
Large turbines on small floating structures that do not affect stability in strong wind and high waves.
Better anchoring systems.
Better transformer substation solutions and connection to the network.
Regulators that send out more power, with less strain on the structure.
Wind prediction for optimal generation when the need is greatest, and the price is highest.
Inventions worth billions From 2009 to 2017, the research project NOWITECH (Norwegian Research Centre for Offshore Wind Technology) provided the foundation for 40 innovations with an estimated value of NOK 50 billion. Head researcher John Olav G. Tande at Sintef was named the 2019 Mission Innovation Champion for his work with offshore wind power. This award highlights the Trondheim research community as a world leader in this field. The award was established by Bill Gates and Barack Obama at the climate summit meeting in Paris.
Sintef and Equinor have patented their Hywind technology. The Hywind Tampen wind farm will now be generating power for the Snorre and Gullfaks platforms in the North Sea.
World leader in wind power Wind will continue to blow across the sea, while world leaders and technologists work to save us from catastrophic climate change.
Norwegian expertise and technology are essential for wind power success. Much of our expertise is related to the knowledge we have developed in the areas of oil and gas. Wind power can become an important export industry for Norway. It can create new jobs and help the world community to achieve ambitious climate goals. Trondheim – wind power expertise.

Q-Free | Mobility technology from Trondheim
Fewer fatalities, thanks to Q-Free. Q-Free provides better traffic flow, cleaner air and safer traffic, with fewer fatalities and accidents. You can find transponders from Trøndelag in cars all over the world. Our transponders eliminate traffic congestion, improve city air and save lives. Fewer people die in traffic, thanks to technology from Trondheim. Our adventure started on the brand new E6 motorway in 1988. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration dreamed of automatic toll stations where traffic could pass without slowing down or stopping. The sharp minds at 'little' Q-Free –originally called Micro Design – solved the task without the Norwegian Public Roads Administration having to look for suppliers abroad. At the Ranheim toll station, just outside of Trondheim, we made the leap from manual toll booths and coin-operated machines to lightning-fast radio signals. We had our international breakthrough in Portugal in 1991, and today, Q-free is a listed technology company headquartered in Trondheim, with 400 employees at branch offices in 16 countries. We have offices in the USA, Australia, Canada, Chile, Russia, Slovenia, the United Kingdom and a number of other countries. Our technology is used for much more than collecting road tolls from cars travelling at high speeds. Today, our focus can be summed up with the keywords Flow, Clean, Safe – in other words, better traffic flow, cleaner air and safer traffic, with fewer fatalities and accidents. Q-Free is a world-leader in mobility technology.
Trondheim – The city of geniuses
Borgar Ljosland and his fellow students from NTNU were sitting in a bar when they hit on a great idea, and the conversation went something like this: "Should we do it this way or that way? Which is best? This way? Yes! Write it down on the napkin, quick!" The friends had discovered that it was possible to significantly improve mobile phones. A formula on a piece of paper produces perfect display graphics with minimal use of power. Their recipe for a new processor was to be the best in the world. Shockingly ambitious, but it worked. Borgar conquered the world. Did you know that over 13,000 people in Trondheim work in the technology sector? The city is home to 750 technology companies and offers unprecedented opportunities for people who are looking for an exciting job or have their own ideas for a smart start-up.

Parents Don't Have a Lot of Patience for Theory
April 8, 2015 Justin Cohen
Today on the blog I interview Chris Stewart. Chris is a father whose work as an education advocate was spurred by his frustration with the quality of middle schools in his neighborhood. I met Chris a few years ago through his work as a community organizer, while he was executive director of the African-American Leadership Forum in Minnesota. He now works on outreach at Education Post, and we serve on a board together. He tweets @citizenstewart and has a great blog and podcast. In other words, the man has a versatile social media platform game.
Me: How did you become an education advocate?
Chris: Personal experience. It was more emotional for me than anything else. I didn't really understand how bad my own education was until my twenties. I became a dad at twenty-two. Everything I figured out then about opportunities for my own kid made me realize that I needed to do a better job than anyone had done for me. I was working in the service industry at the time, hotels mostly. When I had a kid, I thought, "Man I gotta figure this thing out." I didn't even know a thumbnail sketch of what I know now. I'm a guy who got a crappy education and I knew I had to do better with my own kid, that's it.
It didn't become a big deal until my first son was in 6th grade, because in 7th grade, the options ran out. For kindergarten I got him into a public school in a different part of town that was way better than the one in our neighborhood. Once he got to middle school, the choices ran out. His wealthier friends got into a magnet school. When he didn't get in, I had a moment of panic.
"I'm gonna ruin my kid."
"I'm a lousy dad."
"Why don't I have money?"
Me: You start to blame yourself for the lack of a good school in your neighborhood.
Chris: Right. I tried to get him into a private school, but that would have doubled my monthly expenses and that's with the "poor people's discount" they offered me. They told me "We value diversity, we will totally make it work for you financially."
I was like, "That's the POOR people package?" I basically would have had two rent payments all of a sudden.
Me: You felt stuck.
Chris: Yeah, until someone took me to visit a particular charter school that was so much like the private schools I had seen, which was right for me. Not necessarily right for everyone, but right for me and my kid. I enrolled him immediately. I really didn't know what a charter school was, and I thought they were eventually going to send me a bill. I had no idea it was free, and I was really worried there was a catch.
But there wasn't. And my own kid's experience started everything for me. I brought six other parents with me to that school, because I realized how difficult it was for me to find this option, and I didn't want other parents to have to try that hard. I found this school through some serious gymnastics, and I kept thinking, "Why is it this crazy? Why is it a secret?"
Me: It seems like your experience with education policy has very little to do with any "theory of change" or academic take of the subject and everything to do with your own experience in the world. How does that make you approach problems differently?
Chris: Part of the problem with policy debates is the idea that I would choose a school on average versus an actual school. I got what I wanted for my kid, which was like the private schools I wanted but could not afford. When I did that, I had a lot of people tell me that my choice was hurting the system as a whole. That I shouldn't do that because it affects the big picture. That's unrealistic. When you're living hand to mouth, and you're working for rich people in the service industry like I was, the idea that I should "take one for the team" by keeping my kid in a weak school to help the whole system, that was ridiculous.
Me: I wrote about New Orleans earlier this week. You went to public schools in New Orleans and have been spending a lot of time there recently. Howard Fuller, who has been a formative influence on my own thinking, tells me he's never seen anything more complicated. What do you see going on there?
Chris: The majority of schools in New Orleans are currently C- or D-rated schools. (Note: on a scale of "A" through "F.") You would never put your kid in a D-rated school.
If only I could get complimentary shots while dining with everyone I profile on this blog ... Photo Credit: April Chou
Me: I think some people would be confused at your full throated support for school choice in Minnesota and your problems with what's going on in New Orleans.
Chris: That's because we're talking about theory versus reality again. I had a crappy education in New Orleans when I was a kid. The best part was the two years I did in Catholic school. I made an amazing amount of progress, then I went back to public schools. The schools are mostly charters now, but they still don't pass the "would you put your own kids in these schools" test. The data speaks for itself. The reformers will say, "Well, they're better than they used to be." I don't put my kids in a school that's "better than it used to be." These questions aren't helping me as a parent. Is it a good school?
Me: Besides a school that's not just "better" but actually "good," what are parents in New Orleans looking for that they're not getting now?
Chris: We have a rhythm to how we work with our kids in my house. So much of having kids is a planning nightmare. I have a college educated wife who helps me makes those rhythms work. In New Orleans you used to go to school down the street or across the street. It was a consistent product in terms of how you ordered your life, if not in terms of the quality of the education. Now kids are getting on buses in the dark, coming home in the dark.
Me: It's inconvenient. Parents in wealthier suburbs get both quality and predictability.
Chris: Right. One father talked to me about trying to enroll his kid in a school across town that was a B-rated school. He waited in line for three hours. He ended up getting in the B-rated school across town versus the C-rated school across the street. We ask people to go above and beyond to get their kids into schools in low-income communities.
And that father stood in line with 40,000 other people in the middle of the day to exercise school choice. They couldn't handle the response. That's his experience now with school choice. Waiting in line with 40,000 people. When I shared with folks that I thought this was problematic, the response I got from some reformers was "that happened one day, and we fixed it."
Me: That one day is all that matters for that father.
Chris: And the 40,000 other parents that showed up that same day.
Me: Right, the theory of change makes sense until those 40,000 parents show up on that day.
Chris: The interesting thing about New Orleans is that the "alternative" to the old system is already the whole system. There needs to be more critical analysis of whether this new thing is enough. After ten years and hundreds of millions of dollars and reform, would we have thought D-rated schools would be close to the majority? Is that our metric? If that's our metric, we need another ten years to get to C-rated schools. That's another ten years and a couple of hundred million dollars. Is that really our goal, to fix the schools of NOLA in a half century with hundreds of millions of dollars for every letter grade? If you add up the philanthropy, we're now spending thousands more per pupil against what was spent before the storm. And that gets you to D-rated schools. I'm not saying that it's not better. I just hope that everyone, including the philanthropists and political supporters, have the will and patience to make sure it's "good" and not just "better."
Note: an earlier version of this interview contained the comment that the "majority" of New Orleans schools are rated a "D." The majority of schools are C- or D-rated based on recent data.

Q: Need help to replace lines matching the key name in linux Input file (has 2 lines with 2 key value pairs):
key1 = "x"
key2 = ['a', 'b', 'c']

Using this input file, I need to replace the key value pair on another file.
File1 (got 2 lines with 2 key value pairs):
key1 = "y"
key2 = ['p' , 'q', 'r']

Please let me know if there is any easy way in shell script to do this task.

A: Not entirely sure what you want to archive.
Assuming you want to patch a file file.txt containing text and your key value pairs like this
key1
key2
text
key1 = "original"
key2 = ['o' , 'r', 'i', 'g']
text

with a patchfile.txt only containing the key value pairs of the values you want to replace, like this
key1 = "patched"
key2 = ['p', 'a', 't', 'c', 'h']

without overwriting the text key1/key2 that isn't a key value pair to get a file.txt like this
key1
key2
text
key1 = "patched"
key2 = ['p', 'a', 't', 'c', 'h']
text

by issuing a command like this
patchmystuff.sh file.txt patchfile.txt

The content of patchmystuff.sh could look like this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

original_file=$1
patch_file=$2

# loop from here:
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1521462/looping-through-the-content-of-a-file-in-bash
while IFS="" read -r line || [ -n "$line" ]
do
    printf 'patching %s\n' "$line"
    # (?<==) is the lookbehind for = to keep it
    # otherwise it will match key1/key2 in regular text
    search_string=$(echo "$line" | perl -ne 's/(?<==).*//g; print;')
    printf 'search string: "%s"\n' "$search_string"
    sed -i -e "s/$search_string.*/$line/g" "$original_file"
done < "$patch_file"

"Today's statistics show an interesting pattern in the average contribution rates based on employment status. Over the past five years average contribution rates for employees has fallen by approximately one third from £3,490 a year to £2,310. This demonstrates that many employees are opting to stick at auto-enrolment minimum contribution rate levels. If this continues people risk leaving themselves short of money in retirement and government must look at how these minimums can be increased.
Looking at the self-employed, while average annual contributions increased by approximately 20% from £3,760 per year in 2012-13 to £4,490 in 2016-17, it has fallen from last year's peak of £5,310. We would urge government to do all it can to help self-employed people build a sustainable pension by bringing them into the auto-enrolment space without delay."

Please help It works fine in 3.0 without setting contentNogotiation Manager but not in the latest version of spring MVC

A: It sounds like you need to send "Accept= application/json" in your header when making the http request.
You can also check that you can get json and that your jars are installed correctly by creating an ObjectMapper object and checking canSerialize(class) on your return type.
How are you posting data?
Removing "produces = "application/json;charset=UTF-8" " might also do the trick, but if you want to include that line you'll need to include the accepts header in your http request.

Why did we create this page?
Outreach experiences are an instructional strategy that involves field-based "experiential learning" with community partners. Outreach experiences are an important college outcome since working with community partners is good preparation for citizenship, work, and life. Several UW-Whitewater administrators, faculty, and staff ("collaborators") engage in outreach experiences, but the impact of these activities typically is limited and lacks application beyond those individual instances of engagement. The objective of this shared space is to enhance existing outreach activities at UW-Whitewater by making the results of those activities both useful and easy to apply for collaborators.


I'm having a blast! I got trickster up to level 24.
A few of us joined Grievance (grievanceguild.com) on the Dragon shard. I'm "Propagandalf The [email protected]" in game.
Can you investigate with them if they are OK if we adopt them as our guild for this game?
Anyone is welcome, they're actively recruiting. Go to their forum and put in an app in the Neverwinter recruitment board. Then, once you're approved, hop in TS and ask for an in-game invite.
even with new copy of the software and a new character, still rubberbanding, so yah, I can't get past level 5, so not really in the favorable category right now.
I was getting rubberbanding yesterday, for the first time ever. Some others in teamspeak also said they were getting it. It got pretty bad for a little while but cleared up. I imagine it will only get worse tomorrow when the open beta starts.
I made a new toon on Dragon, but haven't gone over to Grievance yet for membership. I got sucked into The Incredibe Adventures of Van Helsing.
A little bit. I was in their TS all weekend, joining groups etc. They're great about answering questions and you can learn a lot just by hanging out in their channel.
Some of the Foundry content is really amazing. I left COH before they added it and never played Star Trek past beta, so this is the first I've seen of it, and I've been impressed with how creative other players are with it.
Since it is FtP (right?), I'll definitely be trying it out this week.
I downloaded and installed hoping to be ready to give this a shot for tonight but when it launches I get only a blank, white window. Task manager said it was running so I just let it go in case it was patching or anything. Anyone else get anything similar?
I'll likely roll on Dragon server as well.
A few of us are in the Greivance guild now. Well I am on the website as I haven't logged into the game yet.
They seem like a good bunch of blokes.
I'm at work now, but based on their Twitterings, they're experiencing some kind of login server error.
Also, I want to say that ordering my minions to perform missions and crafting activities through a web browser from work is hilariously awesome.
How does one perform this magic!?
Note that I *think* you have to first hire/recruit your minions in the game. I haven't found a way to get them through the web browser. But once you have them, you can use the web browser to send them out on missions or craft stuff.
Yeah, just to be clear, you're not sending out your companions on missions. The crafting system differs from Star Wars The Old Republic in that your combat companions don't do the crafting.
What you do is hire or acquire minions for each different profession -- mercenaries for leadership, weaver for tailoring, skinner for leatherworking, etc. You can acquire more than one per profession. They don't have any actual model or representation in game so you don't ever see them or talk to them. They're essentially just resources.
I like this better than what TOR had because I don't have to sacrifice combat time with my companions while they're away crafting.
2. Check the Vendors for gear; gold (in the betas) lost its usefulness the higher I leveled, you can buy some very useful gear about once every 5-7 levels from the vendors, the level of the gear upgrades as you level higher, so check it every 5 levels or so.
4. Astral Diamonds, these are used for just about ANYTHING in the game, they are used for anything on the Auction house; they are used to buy Zen without putting in real money; they are used to upgrade mounts to a faster speed; they are used to buy certain pieces of gear from vendors, they are used to "socket" companions and gear for better stats, they are used to speed up profession missions. Basically it is the Primary currency of Neverwinter; They come in two different types, refined and unrefined. If you bought a founders pack then you will be recieving refined AD; all AD that I have seen in earned in game has been unrefined.
5. Earning AD: They can be hard to earn and you can only "refine" 24000 a day. Only refined AD is spendable. You can earn them by completing the Daily quests, Doing Skirmishs during the Skirmish event (1000 unrefined AD per skirmish), Some profession missions, and by Invoking the gods.
6. Invoking the gods is a spell you obtain around level 10, if you hit 10 I suggest you immediately go back to Protectors Enclave and talk to Sgt. Knox (the guy who has been giving you the main story quests); he will give you a quest to learn how to do this. Invoking the gods is something you want to get and use as much as possible, you can obtain Items, Astral Diamonds, 1-2 hour long buffs to your character, Experience, and Coins.
Ardent Coins: These are obtained from invoking and give you access to exclusive rewards from a shop called the Piety Vault. Some of the items can ONLY be obtained there, you cannot buy an Angel of Protection companion from the cash shop, but you can get one from the Piety Vault shop. Ardent coins are bound to character and cannot be bought or traded. To my knowledge (pleaase correct me if I am wrong) These coins can only be gained from invoking once per day.
Celestial Coins: these are also gained from invoking, however if you go 24 hours without invoking they disappear. The most costly thing I have seen that can be bought with these costed 7 coins; however in BW4 the most expensive item was 5 coins.
Bounty: In each area there are items that drop that may be traded in for a bounty item; this item is usually something that is useful to you character in that particular area. For example an Elixir that increases your damage against orcs in the area where there is mostly orc enemies. The bounty tokens are also used to buy different Seals from the vendor depending on the area. 10 tokens per elixir and 40 per seal.
Seals: Seals are badges you can trade in for dungeon quality gear, different Seals represent different level gear that can be traded for by a vendor. The vendor is located in the market, in Protectors Enclave. You can also obtain Seals from looting dungeon bosses, 1 drops per boss.
8. Mics and grouping; Many people do not know this, however when you group up with someone your group is automatically set to "open". This means ANYONE can right click you and join your group, even in an instance (if they use the group finder). There is an option to turn this off.
Also Voice chat is turned on by default, this is something I suggest leaving on because it can help coordinate your group (if its working, it had a habit of crashing alot in the Cbeta). There are also options for turning this on or off, and for calibrating your mic/voice chat in game.
9. Combat rooting and movement speed.
I played a control wizard and am almost always a caster. The mobs in the game move EXTREMELY fast and when you attack on anyone you are rooted in place while you do so. This means that kiting takes place as a move - cast - move leapfrog movement while using your "dodge" move. There are items and enchant stones with movement speed on them and this can GREATLY improve your ability to kite, even more so than any other game I have played. (probably because of the rooting mechanic). So if you want to be able to kite semi-effectively in this game, be prepared to sacrifice some stats for movement speed. This is Particularly useful (I found) against Melee classes in PVP.
Signing up for the guild and going in game. I had no idea of the complexities of the economy, so thanks for sharing, DeThroned.
More info on lag/rubberbanding: the issue is related to one of the firewalls in one of our data centers. We have people onsite implementing a fix!
Hopefully this fixes it for me....though I have had this issue since the first weekend founders were able to participate in.
Most of my MMO time has been solo in WoW, years ago.
I went in to one of the beta weekneds. It felt very LOTRO to me.
Downloading this now. Assuming it runs on my computer, I'll be signing up soon.
Them queues! So, how do find out what your account name is. How is that system setup? I can barely make sense of it.
EDIT: It is going by pretty quick.
Good luck getting in guys! I'll be playing in 45 minutes or so. If you have any questions, I THINK I am [email protected] if you want to send me a message (Turrash is an older gaming name I decided to use). I have played around 30 hours so far and have leveled to 33. I will do my best to answer any questions you have. Or head over and apply to Grievance. Those guys know a HECK of a lot more than I do about Neverwinter!
And of course the internet starts getting sketchy the day I want to download this.


sysPass Does anyone use it.
I'm looking at trying to implement a server on our WAN that stores our users user/pass combinations for various websites.
Has anyone tried using this and got and feedback on it.
have not tried but also not sure I would want a server keeping track of passwords.
Are you looking for something like a SSO (single sign on) or a password manager like dashlane?
Thanks for the heads up Jonathan, and hi Stephanie!
More a password manager. But, on the cheap to actually see if it's something we want. So I usually start with a free product and then either upgrade or just stick with the initial free product once we have a decent amount of users trying it out and seeing if it's something our users want.
But we aren't the quickest at making a decision on a product so we usually spend months making a decision so trails that usually last upto a month are no real use to us. Hence liking a product that is based on an inhouse server that we can play with and then decide at our own leisure is the sort of thing we want to pursue.
Option 1: Try Dashlane Business free for 30 days with your team. I think that's the best option to help you get a sense of our Business features and see if this is something your team will use. If you'd like to start a trial with more than 50 team members, we'll also put you in touch with a dedicated account manager who can help you with everything from onboarding to deployment.
Option 2: Encourage members of your team to try Dashlane Free, which also includes a free trial of Dashlane Premium for the first 30 days. If you and your team don't want to upgrade to Premium after 30 days, you'll simply revert back to a Dashlane Free plan, with all of your data/passwords intact. You can visit this page for more info on the differences between Dashlane Free and Dashlane Premium.
Is either of these options of interest to you?
No problem! Feel free to circle back with towards the end of the month.
Keepass is a good password manager that is free to download and use for as many people as you want. I have a password vault that I created on a network drive and only give the people who I want to access it the password.
Downside is is that it doesn't support multiple users built in, so you'd have to use an addon/plugin or have multiple passwords.

Not very long ago there was a website called "Craigslist" which became one of the biggest, most popular websites on the internet. You could scroll through hundreds of listings for everything from cars, to jobs and even scam business partnerships. Most people used it to find cheap iPhones and second-hand furniture in Perth.
However, the site's most popular feature had to be its 'Personals' section. Here there was a sub-section for men seeking women, women seeking women, and men seeking men. Despite the section's popularity Craigslist Personals crashed and burned to signify the end of an era.
So, the question is, why did Craigslist Personals crash and burn if it was so popular? Well, that's what we'll be examining in this article.
What is Craigslist?
Craigslist for those who don't know is a website where you are free to post and view any number of classified ads. The ads range from real estate and job postings to gigs, services, items for sale and even local events. Think of it as an online version of the old fashioned newspaper classified ads page, except here people can search for an ad that interests them. A couple of similar sites include Gumtree and Locanto amongst others.
Established in the mid-90s, Craigslist was also one of the first websites to be dedicated to classifieds. At one point, the website received millions of visitors a month and made millions in revenue annually. The website was so popular that it also became a fixture on the internet and American culture. Many popular TV shows, video games, movies etc. would mention Craigslist.
Even though Craigslist is an American website, the service extended to over 70 countries. There were several Australia specific subsites, for Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Not to mention that many Australians were hooked on Craigslist too.
What was Perth's Craigslist Personals?
Now out of all the sections on Craigslist, 'Personals' was the most popular one. At one point the section was home to thousands of personal ads, which ranged from dates to friendship and casual sex. The section was very popular amongst the LGBT community because it was one of the few places where gays and lesbians could hookup, especially in parts of Australia that were more conservative.
All of this was happening on Craigslist at a time when there was a great deal of stigma surrounding casual hookups and online dating. So in a way, you can consider them the pioneers of online dating. Today, if you enjoy swiping through Tinder or checking out Grindr for an upcoming date, you have perhaps Craigslist to thank for showing that it was possible.
To the surprise of many lovesick and sex, thirsty adults across the world, Craigslist Personals was shuttered in 2018. However, the company only pulled the plug on the Personals section, because everything else is still up and running. The section was mainly discontinued in response to the FOSTA/SESTA, laws in the US, meant to combat sex trafficking.
The law states that the government of America can impose civil and criminal liabilities on any website or platform that makes it easy to solicit sex trafficking and prostitution. Speaking of sex, Craigslist also used to have an "adult/erotic services" section which listed everything from sex workers to erotic massage therapists in just about every major city in the US and Australia. But that was closed even earlier in 2010, after which the company kicked off their personals section.
After FOSTA was passed in the US, Craigslist later decided to pull the plug on the personals section to prevent the site from getting banned. However, what transpired after the section was closed was Craigslist receiving a great deal of pushback from people in the sex industry. Sex workers, in particular, claimed that removal of the section from Backpage and Craigslist made it difficult to near impossible for them to find work and screen clients. They implied that it made doing sex work unsafe!
Now sex workers who were once looking for clients from the safety of their couch, hand to go out on to the streets risking their lives. The websites that do allow this type of thing to be posted are now exploiting sex workers by charging them a lot of money to post ads as compared to good old Craigslist that was cheaper.
What alternatives are there for Craigslist personals in Perth?
After Craigslist pulled the plug on their Personals section, there were many people who started looking for alternatives for sex work, dating and hookups. Fortunately, for them, there were and still are a few different alternatives that allow them to make the needed connections or even have a no-string-attached type situation.
Snapchat: OK, so Snapchat isn't a dating app, but many cam girls and sex workers use the platform to sell nudes, update their fans and connect with clients from across the world.
Tinder: It is the king of all dating apps. The best thing about it is you can find matches within seconds. Swipe through them and message the ones that interest you. It's like Craigslist Personals on steroids!
OkCupid: It is an OG dating site. You signup by answering questions about yourself and then the system's AI uses that to match you to compatible people.
Doublelist: It is mainly focused on personal ads. You can signup and view ads. However, they don't allow sex work. But they are very similar to Craigslist Personals in other respects.
Seeking Arrangement: Sugar daddies and mommies will find this the best place to get hooked up with a sugar baby. Similarly, sugar babies can find clients too.
Grindr: It is a staple of the gay community. Here you will find a list of all homosexual men in the city and area, safely and without judgement.
While Craigslist Personals was a great place to find hookups and dates, all good things come to an end at some point. While it will be missed, fortunately, there are now loads of alternatives that are just as good if not better.

In 2014, I can reference a dimension in Part2 for part1 in a an assembly. In 2015, it always tell me it is a invalid dimension.
I followed the syntax in help file, use D1@sketch1@part2<1>.part. it does not work.
I just found that the equation only work when it is built in assembly equation manager. This is a huge step back from 2014.
Before, I can create a skeleton part in an assembly. Every parts in the assembly use reference equation to get parameters from skeleton part to drive their dimensions. All the reference equation can be built in the driven parts' equation manager.
Now, in 2015, these kind of reference equations only can be built in assembly's equation manager. If I have a assembly with 50 parts, every parts have at least 3 main dimension controlled by skeleton. Then there will be 150 reference equations in the assembly equation manager. That is not easy for maintaining.
I hope the solidworks company consider our situation, and give us the right to build reference equations in each parts. We have too many assembly models are driven by skeleton parts in this way. It is too painful for us to upgrade to 2015, and change all the equations into assembly equation managers.
Could you please send the models that you are using to test this scenario, and the workflow by which you added those equations? I think perhaps I'm not understanding the workflow properly, because one can definitely create an equation in a part that references a different part in an assembly. All that is required is that you are editing the part "in-context" while you add those equations.
We have the same first name. Thank you for your reply.
I created a simple test model as the one in help file " equation between assembly components".
The equation reference to other part does not work in this part's equation manager in Solidworks 2015. Before in 2014, it works.
In 2014, I can create a skeleton part in an assembly. every other part in the assembly use reference equations to get parameters from the skeleton part to drive their dimension. All the reference equations can be build in the part's equation manager. When I changed the parameters of skeleton part, every parts in the assembly will be changed by the reference equations automatically.
Now, In 2015, these kind of reference equations only can be built in assembly's equation manager. If I have an assembly with 50 parts, and every parts have at least 3 main dimensions controlled by skeleton part, there will be more than 150 reference equations in the assembly equation manager. That is not easy to maintain.
Another problem is that if I build a reference equation for a part in assembly, and the part is suppressed in some case, the reference equation have to be suppressed at the same time, other wise it will create an error. In 2014, we don't have this problem, because the equations are stored inside the part itself. When the part is suppressed, the equations will go with it. But now, the equations are stored in the assembly equation manager, you have to suppressed them manually.
In your assembly A2, if I edit the part P1 in context, then Manage Equations, and with the cursor in the GV1 row I click GV2 (in P2) in the feature manager, it properly enters the data into the cell and it is not red. Subsequent rebuilds and edits all work properly.
If you then open P1 in it's own window and manage equations, the equation WILL turn red. This is because the references in the equation are out of context and can no longer be deciphered...imagine if A2 wasn't opened at all, then the part P1 wouldn't understand what "P2" means...it could mean any configuration of P2, whereas opening P1 in the context of A2 gives you everything you need to know about what component instance of p2 is being referenced (and what configuration it's in).
So, the short answer is that you CAN reference variables from one part to another part, but it must be done in the context of an assembly that contains both of those components. This functionality has not been removed, but it has been modified to guarantee "good" results.
Did anyone get feedback from users on this HUGE process change?
There is a real big difference from the people who use the software everyday, have years & years invested into assemblies that are now all debunk!
These changes were made to fix many bugs found by our users related to referencing in equations. The mechanism that was previously in place was not able to properly handle all of the different types of references that our users were using in equations, especially related to cross-part and cross-assembly references.
While we recognize that there is a necessary change in the syntax and behavior of a subset of equations, we are confident that with these changes, referencing in equations is now much more robust than prior to these changes and will no longer lead to incorrect evaluations of your equations.
How come we haven't heard of any of these changes? Is there new documentation that explains what kind of syntax is correct or what we can or cannot do? How are we suppose to know that you guys changed equation syntax.
Please see the link for the documentation that I have provided. Most of the syntax for linked equations has stayed exactly the same, if you compare it to prior releases. The syntax for some types of references has changed, however.
But why break what worked without telling anyone?
Unfortunately, in order to fix the open bugs, some changes had to be made to provide a consistent experience in terms of equation syntax that did flag some equations which were previously "working" (but inconsistent) as errors, in order to alert users that they needed to be updated to the new syntax.
Will this documentation continue to stay the same for 2016?
I have exact same issues as you, I am running 2016 and my parts will not reference my assembly sketches. I was unaware that you could get them to work via the assembly equation manager. I agree with you that is a huge step back from 2014. I would have well over 150 equations in my assembly equation manger. SolidWorks needs to step up here and address this issue. I find it amazing how so many things break from release to release, this software seems to be going in the wrong direction.
This is a screenshot of my issues.
2016 Not Working. also if you notice in 2014 I am using IF in 2016 it added IIF ?
Please fix this issue, many users depend heavily on equations to automate their parts & assemblies !!!!
How did this issue get as far as 2016 & not get fixed?
Is the software getting smarter or dumber?????

Web Hub FAQ
By Jay Collier, February 12, 2010
Here is the first set of frequently-asked questions about the Web Hub.
What is the Web Hub?
It will be a new way to publish department, program, and office content, and to connect with on- and off-campus people who are interested in Bates. The program covers the official sites of recognized College units. Individual and group sites will be supported in a later phase.
What will it do?
Each designated site editor — generally speaking, the person who is currently editing the site in Ingeniux or on Abacus — will be able to more easily add and update content, including text, images, and events. RSS feeds and e-mail newsletters will deliver updates to subscribers. All content will be more visible to search engines.

AUA 2013: Post-RP BNC: Broad surgical experience important
Findings from a 15-year retrospective chart review of men treated for recalcitrant post-prostatectomy bladder neck contracture and incontinence can provide insight for urologists on expected outcomes for this challenging population.
Findings from a 15-year retrospective chart review of men treated for recalcitrant post-prostatectomy bladder neck contracture (BNC) and incontinence can provide insight for urologists on expected outcomes for this challenging population.
In addition, the experience reinforces that these men constitute a diverse group of patients who may be optimally managed using a broad armamentarium of surgical techniques, according to researchers from Cleveland Clinic's Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute Center for Genitourinary Reconstruction, Cleveland.
The study authors identified 63 men who had been referred for recalcitrant BNC (inability to pass a 17F flexible cystoscope) after prior treatment with bladder neck incision (BNI) or dilation. Stress incontinence was the predominant continence complaint.
Management was undertaken in a two-stage sequence, beginning with deep cold-knife BNI. Men returned 3 to 4 months later for cystoscopic evaluation, and those whose BNC was stable and patent were offered further surgery for incontinence with placement of an artificial urinary sphincter or male urethral sling.
BNI was confirmed successful in 46 (73%) of the 63 men, while four men were categorized as BNI failures, and the remaining 13 men were either lost to follow-up with outcome of BNI unknown, still awaiting evaluation after an initial or repeat BNI, or had died. Overall, 42 men (66%) achieved satisfactory continence after BNI and either a single or no additional operation, including 13 men who chose no further surgery after BNI because they were satisfied with their level of continence, 25 of 27 with an artificial sphincter available for follow-up, and four of four men who had a sling procedure.
"To our knowledge, our analysis represents the largest experience with management of post-prostatectomy BNC and incontinence," said first author Christopher M. Brede, MD, who worked on the study with Kenneth Angermeier, MD, and Hadley Wood, MD. "Based on our findings, we feel confident counseling men that they have at least a two-thirds chance of being satisfied with their level of dryness after BNI alone or with a single additional operation. However, we believe our series also highlights that it is important for reconstructive urologists to be able to offer a range of techniques."

Albert the Great was a 13th-century German Dominican who decisively influenced the Church's stance toward Aristotelian philosophy brought to Europe by the spread of Islam.
Students of philosophy know him as the master of Thomas Aquinas. Albert's attempt to understand Aristotle's writings established the climate in which Thomas Aquinas developed his synthesis of Greek wisdom and Christian theology. But Albert deserves recognition on his own merits as a curious, honest, and diligent scholar.
He was the eldest son of a powerful and wealthy German lord of military rank. He was educated in the liberal arts. Despite fierce family opposition, he entered the Dominican novitiate.
His boundless interests prompted him to write a compendium of all knowledge: natural science, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, astronomy, ethics, economics, politics, and metaphysics. His explanation of learning took 20 years to complete. "Our intention," he said, "is to make all the aforesaid parts of knowledge intelligible to the Latins."
He achieved his goal while serving as an educator at Paris and Cologne, as Dominican provincial, and even as bishop of Regensburg for a short time. He defended the mendicant orders and preached the Crusade in Germany and Bohemia.
Albert, a Doctor of the Church, is the patron of scientists and philosophers.
An information glut faces us Christians today in all branches of learning. One needs only to read current Catholic periodicals to experience the varied reactions to the findings of the social sciences, for example, in regard to Christian institutions, Christian life-styles, and Christian theology. Ultimately, in canonizing Albert, the Church seems to point to his openness to truth, wherever it may be found, as his claim to holiness. His characteristic curiosity prompted Albert to mine deeply for wisdom within a philosophy his Church warmed to with great difficulty

2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Matthew 16:13-18 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? (14) And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. (15) He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? (16) And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (17) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. (18) And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Re: Canadian Penny
I have few older Canadian coins, but not any of these small cents that a recall. I always liked the maple leaf design very much. A nice Texas find, Greg.
Like e.g. the present day euro coins, this coins has two different messages on its sides. The portrait side is all about the UK and its feudal and anti-revolutionary traditions. The value side is devoted to Canada.
The parts that tell you "we reject the French revolution" range from the royal title (REGINA) to the use of Latin and DEI GRATIA. On contemporary UK coins, the country figured only as a title. The French revolution did away with nobility and especially the king. It replaced the prevalent Latin, a language that excluded the poor and uneducated, on the coins with the language of the country - though in fairness, many French royal coins were already in French, but that was the exception, not the rule.
Most important, the French revolution was built around the idea of the sovereignty of the people, rather than the sovereignty of the ruler. The country belonged to the population and they chose who could rule it. The British clung to the medieval concept that the ruler was chosen "by the grace of god". The country belongs to the ruler, which is shown on the coins by putting the ruler central. The land was a personal possession that would be inherited just like other people inherit the stuff their parents leave them. Compare the Canadian side, that just says CANADA (not queen of Canada) and sports a rather nice national symbol, free of crowns, lions, eagles and other medieval heraldry.
Of course, in 1964, none of the stick-in-the-mud British stuff was relevant in Canada. It had a constitution and - apart from a pretty powerless rep of the queen - functioned as a republic. Moreover, it was quite irrelevant in the UK also. The people had in fact acquired sovereignty under the Hanoverians, 100 years before this coin was issued and pretended it wasn't so with royal pageantry. They had a set of rules that amounted to a constitution but pretended that nobody had written them down so they didn't count.
An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
I have a complete set of circulating Canadian Large and small cents. Fascinating series and interesting history.
I recommend A Guide Book of Canadian Coins (Official Whitman Guidebook) and especially Striking Impressions: The Royal Canadian Mint.
The Striking Impressions book is a good read and very educational.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out which cents in recent years were actually circulation issue coins.
Seems simple enough on the surface but it is not. I have reference books with differing information.
So after all this time I am still not 100% sure in every instance what circulated and what was a collector coin.

La península del Labrador (en francès Péninsule du Labrador, en anglès Labrador Peninsula) és una gran península de l'est del Canadà. Està envoltada per la badia de Hudson a l'oest, l'estret de Hudson al nord, el mar de Labrador a l'est i el golf de Sant Llorenç al sud-est. La península inclou la regió de Labrador, que forma part de la província de Terranova i Labrador, i les regions de Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Côte-Nord i Nord-du-Québec, que es troben a la província de Quebec. Té una superfície d'1.400.000 km².

Ubicació i geografia
La península està envoltada de mar per tots els costats, excepte pel sud-oest on s'eixampla cap al continent. La part nord-oest de la península del Labrador té la forma d'una península menor, la península d'Ungava, envoltada per la badia de Hudson, l'estret de Hudson i la badia d'Ungava. El punt més septentrional de la península d'Ungava, el cap Wolstenholme, també és el punt més septentrional de la península del Labrador i de la província de Quebec. La península és un altiplà travessat per nombroses valls fluvials. Hi ha diverses serralades, entre les que destaquen les muntanyes Torngat, situades al nord de la península, que té en el Mont D'Iberville, de 1.652 metres, el punt més alt del Canadà continental a l'est d'Alberta. La muntanya es troba a la frontera dels parcs nacionals de les muntanyes Torngat i Kuururjuaq.

Geològicament, la península del Labrador pertany a l'escut canadenc. La península té un gran nombre de llacs. Només la província de Quebec té més de mig milió de llacs de mida variable. La massa d'aigua més gran de la península és l'embassament de Smallwood, però el llac natural més gran és el llac Mistassini. La península compta amb nombrosos rius. El més llarg és el riu La Grande, de 900 km, que flueix cap a l'oest a través de gairebé la meitat de la península. Altres rius destacats són el riu Eastmain, el riu Rupert i el riu Churchill.

Història
Abans de l'arribada europea, la península estava habitada principalment per pobles cree, especialment la nació Innu a la zona sud-est de la península, que es referien al seu país com Nitassinan (ᓂᑕᔅᓯᓇᓐ), que significa "la nostra terra" en la llengua Innu. Altres pobles que habitaven la península eren els East Cree d'Eeyou Istchee, els Naskapi, així com els inuits de Nunavik, Nunatsiavut i NunatuKavut. La zona es va conèixer com a Markland en nòrdic groenlandès i els seus habitants eren coneguts com els Skræling.

Després dels nadius amerindis i inuit, els primers exploradors europeus de la costa de Labrador van ser els vikings noruecs, que van arribar de Groenlàndia sota el comandament de Leif Eriksson al voltant de l'any 1000 dC.

El primer (re)descobriment verificable de la península de Labrador van ser dues expedicions el 1497 i 1498 sota el comandament del mariner venecià Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), que estava al servei d'Anglaterra, buscant la ruta marítima a la Xina, seguit d'una expedició portuguesa en 1499 João Fernandes, anomenat Lavrador i João Gonsales, de qui probablement deriva el nom (tots dos eren terratinents a les Açores), i que van declarar la regió possessió portuguesa després del Tractat de Tordesillas, que Portugal més tard no va perseguir. Van ser seguits per altres dos desembarcaments portuguesos sota Gaspar Corte-Real el 1500 i 1501.

S'accepta àmpliament que la península rep el nom de l'explorador portuguès João Fernandes Lavrador, el qual va obtenir una patent del rei Manuel I de Portugal el 1499 que li va donar el dret d'explorar la part de l'oceà Atlàntic corresponent al Tractat de Tordesillas. Juntament amb Pêro de Barcelos, va albirar el Labrador per primera vegada el 1498, i va traçar les costes del sud-oest de Groenlàndia i del nord-est de l'Amèrica del Nord. João Fernandes Lavrador, junt amb Pêro de Barcelos, van ser els primers occidentals en albirar la península, actualment anomenada precisament de Labrador, el 1498.

També hi ha hipòtesis i llegendes basades en proves circumstancials d'un descobriment fins i tot anterior a Colón el 1492, que no estan assegurades perquè les proves circumstancials també poden explicar-se d'una altra manera. El 1473, una expedició encarregada pels reis danesos, noruecs, suecs i portuguesos per a buscar la connexió amb Groenlàndia, que no s'havia utilitzat des d'aproximadament 1406, sota Didrik Pining (probablement de Hildesheim, llavors governador danès d'Islàndia entre 1478 i 1490), Hans Pothorst (també del nord d'Alemanya), el navegant Johannes Scolvus (d'origen molt discutit, potser polonès, potser danès, alguns van especular que es tractava del jove Colón) i l'enviat portuguès João Vaz Corte-Real (a partir de llavors, 1474-1496, governador portuguès de les Açores i Lavrador a Terceira) l'illa de Groenlàndia novament. Perquè el sacerdot i historiador de les Açores Gaspar Frutuoso va escriure cap a 1590 que Corte-Real va rebre les seves possessions a les Açores en agraïment pel descobriment de Terra Nova do Bacalhau, que, segons mapes posteriors, va ser datat més prop de Terranova, però no apareix en els atles, que van ser redibuixats amb freqüència en l'època, fins a 1508 (després dels desembarcaments de Caboto, Fernandes Lavrador i Gaspar Corte-Real), l'afirmació moltes vegades va donar lloc a la hipòtesi que aquesta expedició ja havia arribat a Labrador i Terranova.
Aquesta llegenda és especialment popular als països escandinaus, Alemanya, Portugal i Polònia. No obstant això,  l'escriptura de donació a Corte-Real no esmenta aquest motiu, i molts historiadors creuen que Frutuoso, escrivint 120 anys després, va confondre les conseqüències d'aquest nomenament amb la causa. Amb la governació de Corte-Real, els viatges de cerca i descobriment portuguesos a l'Atlàntic nord-oest van començar després de 1474 en nom del rei portuguès, i van ser finançats i equipats per João Vaz Corte-Real i els seus fills. L'expedició de Fernandes i Gonsales el 1499 també va ser promoguda per la família Corte Real, dades de cartògrafs contemporanis i de les autoritats duaneres del port de Bristol també poden interpretar-se de forma que Fernandes Lavrador i Gonsales també havien pres part prèviament en l'Expedició anglesa dirigida per Cabot i això també els va inspirar a emprendre el seu viatge de descobriment. L'any 1500 i novament el 1501, el propi fill de Gaspar Corte-Real va realitzar viatges de descobriment, i en el segon es va perdre. També va desaparèixer una expedició de cerca del seu germà Miguel Corte-Real el 1502, i el rei va prohibir una nova cerca del tercer germà Vasco Anes Corte-Real. Per tant, ni el nom Terra de Labrador, ni el nom alternatiu Terra Corterealis  utilitzat fins al segle XVII, ni el nom portuguès de Terra Nova do Bacalhau de Terranova són evidència del descobriment portuguès el 1473, com creïn els proponents. El més probable és que el primer nom signifiqui Fernandes, tal vegada també Gonsales o Gaspar Corte-Real, el segon nom podria referir-se a un dels fills descobridors i el tercer nom només és detectable en fonts posteriors a 1500. Que Vasco Anes Corte-Real tenia drets familiars sobre Labrador (Terra Corterealis) tampoc prova pretensions des de 1473, perquè el rei havia concedit a Miguel Corte-Real el privilegi de la propietat privada dels descobriments. També les declaracions de l'arquebisbe i cartògraf suec Olaus Magnus sobre els descobriments de Pining i Pothorst ("alta muntanya, anomenada Hvitsark", "entre Islàndia i Groenlàndia") i l'alcalde de Kiel Carsten Grypp ("nye insulen und lande", inclòs el "Klippen Wydtszerk vor Gronlandth") en el context probablement es refereix a regions i illes en la costa del fiord de Groenlàndia. En opinió de la majoria dels historiadors, l'evidència en fonts més recents, que encara no estan tan fortament influenciades per malentesos i llegendes, no és suficient per a determinar si l'expedició de 1473 va veure altres països a més de Groenlàndia.

Atès que l'illa de Groenlàndia (geogràficament part d'Amèrica i no gaire allunyada del continent) sempre va ser coneguda als països escandinaus medievals, on va viure una petita població escandinava fins al segle XV, és possible que en el nord-oest d'Europa es donessin petits mitjans que tenia un coneixement semilegendario de terres més enllà de Groenlàndia, com les sagues islandeses supervivents de Vinland. Aquestes llegendes i contactes amb Groenlàndia fan que no es descartin albiraments o desembarcaments individuals en l'Edat mitjana a Labrador. Alguns experts apunten que a més dels navegants escandinaus-islandesos-groenlandesos, els vascosLos balleneros i pescadors que van navegar molt lluny a l'Atlàntic Nord podrien haver-se acostat al continent americà. No obstant això, els primers desembarcaments europeus inequívocament provats després de Leif Eriksson a Labrador i Terranova són els de Caboto en 1497 i 1498, de Fernandes Lavrador i Gonsales en 1499 i de Gaspar Corte-Real en 1500 i 1501.
