Iran protests rage on streets as officials renew threats
By thecaliforniasun November 10, 2022 World No Comments6 Mins Read
Protests in Iran raged on streets into Thursday with demonstrators remembering a bloody crackdown in the country's southeast, even as the nation's intelligence minister and army chief renewed threats against local dissent and the broader world.
Meanwhile, a top official in Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard claimed it had "managed to achieve" having so-called hypersonic missiles, without providing any evidence.
The protests in Iran, sparked by the Sept. 16 death of a 22-year-old woman after her detention by the country's morality police, have grown into one of the largest sustained challenges to the nation's theocracy since the chaotic months after its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
At least 328 people have been killed and 14,825 others arrested in the unrest, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran, a group that's been monitoring the protests over their 54 days. Iran's government for weeks has remained silent on casualty figures while state media counterfactually claims security forces have killed no one.
IRAN PROTESTS TRIGGER SOLIDARITY RALLIES IN US, EUROPE
In this photo taken by an individual not employed by the Associated Press and obtained by the AP outside Iran shows students of the Sharif University of Technology attend a protest sparked by the death in September of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of the country's morality police, in Tehran, Friday, Oct. 7, 2022. The banner says: "No to mandatory hijab" and "Dear Zhina, (Amini's nickname), you won't die, your name will become a symbol."
As demonstrators now return to the streets to mark 40th-day remembrances for those slain earlier — commemorations common in Iran and the wider Middle East — the protests may turn into cyclical confrontations between an increasingly disillusioned public and security forces that turn to greater violence to suppress them.
Online videos emerging from Iran, despite government efforts to suppress the internet, appeared to show demonstrations in Tehran, the capital, as well as cities elsewhere in the country. Near Isfahan, video showed clouds of tear gas. Shouts of "Death to the Dictator" could be heard — a common chant in the protests targeting Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It wasn't immediately clear if there were injuries or arrests in this round of protests, though Iran's state-run IRNA news agency acknowledged the demonstrations near Isfahan. They commemorated the Sept. 30 crackdown in Zahedan, a city in Iran's restive Sistan and Baluchestan province, in which activists say security forces killed nearly 100 people in the deadliest violence to strike amid the demonstrations.

Meanwhile Thursday, Guard Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh said in a speech that his forces acquired hypersonic missiles. However, he offered no photograph, video or other evidence to support the claim and the Guard's vast ballistic missile program is not known to have any of the weapons in its arsenal.
Hypersonic weapons, which fly at speeds in excess of Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, could pose crucial challenges to missile defense systems because of their speed and maneuverability.
China is believed to be pursuing the weapons, as is America. Russia claims to already be fielding the weapons and have said it used them on the battlefield in Ukraine.

Iran's atomic energy agency alleged Sunday, Oct. 23, 2022, that hackers acting on behalf of an unidentified foreign country broke into a subsidiary's network and had free access to its email system. Sunday's hack comes as Iran continues to face nationwide unrest first sparked by the Sept. 16 death of Amini.

"This system is very, very fast, and is capable of maneuvering both inside and beyond the atmosphere," Hajizadeh claimed. "This means the Islamic Republic of Iran's new missile can pass through both terrestrial air defense systems and the super-expensive extraterrestrial systems that could target missiles beyond the earth atmosphere."
Iranian officials have kept up their threats against the demonstrators and the wider world. In an interview with Khamenei's personal website, Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib renewed threats against Saudi Arabia, a nation along with Britain, Israel and the U.S. that officials have blamed for fomenting unrest that appears focused on local grievances.
Khatib warned that Iran's "strategic patience" could run out.

"Throwing stones at powerful Iran by countries sitting in glass houses has no meaning other than crossing the borders of rationality into the darkness of stupidity," Khatib said. "Undoubtedly, if the will of the Islamic Republic of Iran is given to reciprocate and punish these countries, the glass palaces will collapse and these countries will not see stability."
Iran blames Iran International, a London-based, Farsi-language satellite news channel once majority-owned by a Saudi national, for stirring up protesters. The broadcaster in recent days said the Metropolitan Police warned that two of its British-Iranian journalists faced threats from Iran that "represent an imminent, credible and significant risk to their lives and those of their families."
Last week, U.S. officials said Saudi Arabia shared intelligence with America that suggests Iran could be preparing for an imminent attack on the kingdom. Iran later called the claim "baseless," though the threats from Tehran continue.
The commander of the ground forces of Iran's regular army, Brig. Gen. Kiumars Heydari, separately issued his own threat against the protesters, whom he called "flies."
"If these flies are not dealt with today as the revolutionary society expects, it is the will of the supreme leader of the revolution," he reportedly said. "But the day he issues an order to deal with them, they will definitely have no place in the country."

Tracking Islamic State
Kremlin Envoy: Over 1,500 North Caucasians Fighting Alongside IS
March 26, 2015 17:06 GMT
Sergei Melikov, the Russian president's envoy to the North Caucasus Federal District, said there was a danger that IS ideology could spread through the North Caucasus, and that preventative efforts should be taken to prevent this.
Upward of 1,500 militants from the North Caucasus are fighting alongside the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria and Iraq, the Kremlin's presidential envoy to the North Caucasus Federal District has claimed.
Sergei Melikov told reporters in Pyatigorsk on March 26 that there was a danger that IS ideology could spread through the North Caucasus, and that preventative efforts should be taken to prevent this.
Melikov said it would be difficult for North Caucasian militants fighting in Syria and Iraq to return home.
However, Melikov claimed that "at least five" militants who returned to the North Caucasus after fighting in Syria had been killed during counterterrorism operations in 2014. Melikov did not elaborate or provide the names of the militants he claimed had been killed.
According to Melikov, the "bandit underground" -- the term used by the Russian government and security services to refer to the Islamist insurgency -- is not currently active.
"In order that [the insurgency's activity] does not resume, it is necessary to prevent the inflow of young people into the ranks of illegal armed groups," Melikov said.
To oppose the extremists, or as Melikov put it, to "pull our fellow citizens and young people out of this feeding trough [of foreign extremist groups]," ideological and educational programs should be implemented in the region, the Kremlin envoy to the North Caucasus said, according to Interfax.
Melikov singled out Daghestan as being the most vulnerable of the North Caucasus republics, because of its many remote and hard to reach settlements, the Caucasus Knot news website reported.
The Kremlin envoy added that the ideology of the "previously active" group the Caucasus Emirate could serve as a breeding ground for the spreading of IS ideology in the North Caucasus.
Melikov's comments are the latest evidence of a significant shift in the rhetoric and narratives that have come out of the North Caucasus with regard to the issue of radicalization and the outflow of North Caucasians to fight alongside militant groups in Syria and Iraq.
Previously, that issue was played down, particularly by the leader of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, who initially denied that Chechens were fighting in Syria at all.
Kadyrov later claimed that most ethnic Chechens in Syria came not from the Chechen Republic, but from Europe.
In recent weeks, however, Russian security and government officials have begun to admit not only that Russian nationals are fighting alongside militant groups in Syria, but that hundreds of them are doing so.
In a surprising move in February, the head of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), Aleksandr Bortnikov, told reporters in Washington, D.C., that as many as 1,700 Russian nationals could be fighting alongside militant groups in Iraq. (It is not clear why Bortnikov did not say that Russian nationals are also fighting in Syria.)
Bortnikov also said that, in light of this situation, intelligence sharing between Russia and the United States regarding IS was "quite possible."
Following Bortnikov's admission, Melikov also warned of the dangers posed by IS to the North Caucasus, warning that IS was recruiting North Caucasian students at universities in the region. http://www.rferl.org/content/isis-recruiting-caucasus-students-russia-moscow-kremlin/26915795.html Meanwhile, Kremlin Security Council chief Nikolai Patrushev said this month that Moscow was concerned about links between IS and militants in the North Caucasus.
There are several likely reasons for this change in rhetoric.
The first reason is the pledges of allegiance made in recent months by several North Caucasian militant groups formerly aligned with the Caucasus Emirate to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
While there has been no sign that Baghdadi has taken any interest in the pledges by the mostly Daghestani militants, the move has exacerbated fears in Russia of attacks by the groups.
Another reason is likely the continued outflow of Russian nationals, including from the North Caucasus, to join militant groups in Syria and Iraq.
A number of pieces of evidence suggesting this continued outflow have emerged recently. These include the naming this week of nine Chechens who are allegedly fighting in Syria. The Interior Ministry said that eight of the nine went to Syria in the summer and fall of 2014.
There is also evidence of a concerted campaign by Russian-speaking militants in IS to recruit new fighters from the North Caucasus.
Yet another reason for Russia's admitting that IS is a threat to the North Caucasus is likely the continued threat from the existing militant networks in the region, specifically the Caucasus Emirate. While Melikov insisted that the Caucasus Emirate was no longer active in the North Caucasus, this is not the case; moreover, the Caucasus Emirate's Syrian affiliate, the Chechen-led Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar (JMA), is growing in influence in Syria and -- although Russian officials only refer to IS as the group with which Russian nationals are fighting -- appears to be still recruiting Russian-speaking militants.
The JMA militants could pose a "blowback" threat to the North Caucasus particularly as they remain loyal to the Caucasus Emirate and its cause of establishing an Islamic state in the region.
It is noticeable -- particularly in the light of FSB chief Bortnikov's remarks about possible intelligence sharing with the United States -- that the U.S. Department of State issued a notice on March 26 saying that it had designated the Caucasus Emirate leader, Aliaskhab Kebekov, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, even while noting that Kebekov's "violent activities...are concentrated in the North Caucasus region of Russia."
One likely outcome of Melikov's warning that North Caucasus militants fighting in Syria could pose a threat to the region, particularly Daghestan, is more counterterrorism operations in the area.
Regional experts and rights defenders said that counterterrorism operations conducted in Daghestan on March 15-16 were a result of comments by Security Council chief Patrushev about the threat posed by IS to the region.

Throughout the past 10 years, we have seen a shift of focus within the bookkeeping and accounting industry. The words "cloud" and "virtual" have become buzz words, and more and more bookkeeping professionals have been looking to use technology as a way to make their firms more effective, and to get ahead of their competition.
It is clear that the industry is turning online, as major influencers such as QuickBooks Online and Xero are focusing their attention on building their online platforms. This is why LedgerDocs was created – to give bookkeepers and accountants a tool that enables them to change the way they do business, and to help them streamline their bookkeeping and accounting process while offering clients a unique selling point.
Working with cloud applications gives bookkeepers and accountants an opportunity to work at any time, from anywhere. Online accounting applications such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Kashoo allow for users to access the application from any computer. This means bookkeepers can work from their office, from home, or even on "vacation". When combined with document management applications such as LedgerDocs, users not only have their accounting file at the tip of their fingers, they also have all of the necessary documents ready to be processed.
Although accounting principles differ across parts of the globe, bookkeeping, at its most basic level, is considered a universal language and holds similar ideologies no matter where the client is based. With that said, bookkeepers have a unique opportunity to capture a much larger audience by understanding these cloud-based tools.The ability to have a client's accounting file and documents at the tip of your fingers not only allows for bookkeepers and accountants to work on their terms, it also allows for them to work with clients who historically would be out of their geographical reach. Receiving documents digitally via LedgerDocs means there is no need to actually meet with the client, and no more shoeboxes of receipts being dropped off at the office. The use of cloud accounting applications also gives bookkeepers and accountants the opportunity to share access with clients who live in other regions, which allows for them to help with some of the more administrative tasks, print out reports, and view their financial data in real time.
As mentioned, having information when you need it is a breakthrough for bookkeepers and accountants. Whether it is financial reports, bank statements, or those pesky receipts that seem to always go missing, a cloud-based document management solution allows for bookkeepers and accountants to have all of their client's documents in one user-friendly location. This allows for bookkeepers and accountants to work on their client's accounting file with an appreciation that they have all of the necessary information.Once the bookkeeping is complete, bookkeepers can share access with their clients and provide them with an insight into the work that has been completed. Online accounting applications such as QuickBooks Online and Xero are able to provide in-depth financial statements, account receivable reports, expense reports, and other important documentation outlining the status of the business, while providing insights into aspects of the business that need to be worked on.As you can see, the movement to online solutions is changing the way bookkeepers and accountants perform work, and is offering firms who are using these technologies a unique advantage that is helping them to get a step ahead of their competition. Not only can firms increase their geographical reach, they can also streamline the bookkeeping and accounting process and work on client's accounting files on their terms, no matter where they are located.

Over Fifty: Making the Most Out of Life
When a Christian passes the age of 50, is there anything more for them to examine in their walk with the Lord? After all, by the time they reach that age, most of them have raised a family or are well along on that path with grown children. They've likely pursued a livelihood, and had their share of ups and downs in life, joys and heartaches. And for most of us, our faith has been tested in such a variety of ways, we might be tempted to say that we've seen it all.
That's a mistake, of course. The Gospel doesn't change or age, even if we do. And no person, no matter how experienced or diligent in their walk with the Lord has seen it all or even has come remotely close to that. It's impossible.
Perhaps realizing this, more than 60 Sovereign Grace members signed up for and attended "Over Fifty," a class developed to help Christians during this season in their lives, whether they had just passed the milestone of 50 or whether they were well beyond it.
"It was a terrific opportunity to challenge my thinking about the way my walk with God will change as I mature and move into the years where my professional and career aspirations will begin to take on a lower priority," said my friend Terry Schwartz, a husband, father and a relatively recent grandfather. "The large group presentation and the small group discussions helped new ideas emerge about the exciting (and maybe scary) journey I'm on," Terry says. "Oh, and I met some wonderful new and interesting people as well. It was a rewarding and timely input for the years ahead."
That sounds like a man who has seen a lot in life but is ready and even eager for this next stage, in whatever capacity he finds himself, whether that's as a role model for a younger generation or as a servant in a ministry he's never tried before. And that's key. Rather than rest on our accomplishments, we look for new challenges and fresh thinking. And we hope that in all of it, we grow in our walk with the Lord. Because, that's really the key to making the most out of life.

This runs perfect on my local PC. Then I build a package, upload the package to an ubuntu server and use the function within an OpenCPU/php environment. My package includes further functions stored in mathematic packages like randomForest, e1071, ...
All mathematic packages work perfect, but the jsonlite::fromJSON(data.json) interrupts the programme. The same is true for the alternative package rjson. I don't known where to look for the reason of this strange error.

A: First, be sure that jsonlite is installed in your Ubuntu server and opencpu can run it
Add the package that you need to the DESCRIPTION file structure and delete the library(jsonlite) part of code of your script.
function_name <- function(data.json) {
  tmp <- fromJSON(data.json)
}

I suggest to use Roxygen2 for import and exports functions depending of your needs
You can read about that and learn how to make the structure of a package in the online book R packages by Hadley Wickham

The Republic of Malta is an island nation in the Mediterranean Sea. Its capital is Valletta. Malta has long had strategic naval importance. It was captured by Napoleon in 1798 but was made part of the British Empire by the Treaty of Paris in 1814. It gained independence in 1964 and became a republic in 1974.


My idea is that on the developer portal in the application>bot there could be an option to select a server that you own, this would be the "bots support server", and if filled out could add a button to the bots extended info. Such as the twitch link button when you're streaming something! I think this'd be a good idea because it'd be one place for any person to find the support server whilst without it people have to dig through google, the help menu, maybe it's a separate command, who knows! One standardized way that discord implements so the bot devs use it would be great and I think that'd be the best way of doing it, any other ways of standardizing it would be cool to see in the comments too :P.

3 Popular Stroke Play Formats Explained
Golf is among the oldest and most prestigious of outdoor sports. This is a game that challenges a person's mental faculty as much as their skill. It is a game that is both simple and complicated, easy to get into but impossible to master, recreation for the soul, and frustration for the intellect, as much a form of recreation and as much a type of maddening labor.
It is also a game that is incredibly diverse, with virtually countless variations with which you can play it. Among the most commonly used scoring systems used are match play and stroke play. Of the two, stroke play is the older and more well-known system. In this article, we will be exploring 3 popular stroke play formats as well as instruct you on how to play them. Let's begin with our reading.

3 Popular Stroke Play Formats
1. Medal Play
When most ordinary people picture golf, this is the type of game they imagine. Among the most traditional and popular methods of playing golf, medal play is often largely attributed as being synonymous with stroke play. It involves seeing individual golfers being pitted against one other in an attempt to see which player can finish the round with the least amount of score (number of shots it takes to land a ball within each hole).
In a standard medal play match, you must sink every one of your putts, no matter how long it may take, and are not allowed to claim any gimmies (shots that are automatically counted without being played). As such, a formal game of medal play composing of four players can easily take up an entire day or more.
The main appeal of medal play and the reason why it is popular at PGA tours (The Masters, The Open, and the PGA Championship are all competed in this format) is that it allows players to fully compare their entire skill set with that of others through the round. Because every shot matters, and there is often little room for any mistakes, the game is often seen as quite intimidating, and thus, reserved for serious gameplay.
Handicaps can be applied to the game, and the final victor is decided by deducting the player's handicap score from that of their total after the round is concluded.
In high-level amateur match play events, medal play is often played in the prerequisite qualifying round(s) before the start of the real tournament. In a standard setup, only the top half of the players advance into the match playing bracket. Usually, to the top qualifier(s), medals may be awarded. And this practice also probably the reason why this game format came to be known as a 'medal' play.
2. Stableford
Stableford is another popular stroke play that is commonly played at PGA tours. In this golf format, instead of adding up the total score after a round, points are awarded on each hole for the number of strokes a player takes, after adjusting for any handicaps.
Standard point scoring as specified by the USGA is as follows:
Strokes (Adjusted)
0 2 strokes or more over
1 1 stroke over
2 Strokes on par
3 1 stroke under
4 2 strokes under
For most professional level golf play, a modified point scoring system is used, which is as followed:
-3 2 strokes or over
-1 1 stroke over
+2 1 stroke under
+5 2 strokes under
The rather unique format was developed by Dr. Frank B. Stableford (from which it derives its name) back in the late 1890s to encourage players not to give up their round after just a few bad holes. This scoring system also speeds help up the pace of the golf game as players no longer necessarily have to sink their putt before moving on to the next hole. As a result, it has proved to be the preferred format for play at clubs and social golf events.
3. Better Ball
Also known by the name '2 ball best ball', this stroke game format, players are grouped into teams of two, but rather than a foursome match, teams are playing against each other in a whole field.Both members of the team have a go at each hole, and one with the lower score is recorded. At the end of the round, the team with the lowest total count wins the game. This method to score makes the game more receptive to newer players as their mistakes can be covered up by their more experienced teammate.
In competitive golf events, better ball is often organized as a prerequisite qualifying round before a foursome tournament. The team scores from that round are then used to structure their ordering for the main game e.g. a team with the best score will be placed #1, and the one with the second-best score will be placed #2 and so on.
Better ball is also a common format used in a foursome match play; the only difference is the score of the two teams is subtracted after finishing a hole and the resulting sum is then added to overall points of the winning team. This process continues for each hole, and the team with the most accumulated number of points wins.
These refer to how many strokes under par a player took to secure a hole. A par refers to the number of strokes a scratch (0 handicaps) is expected to take to complete the hole. Thus, if a par for a given hole is 4 and you completed in just 3 strokes, it would be said to be one under par, also referred to as a birdie. Similarly, a two-under-par and three under par is referred to as an eagle and an albatross respectively.
Handicap is a system that allows the playing field to become more even between golfers of varying ability. Generally, in stroke play, the most common type of handicap is the number of extra strokes that a golfer that won't be counted towards their final score. For example, a 22 handicapper implies that the golfer gets 22 extra strokes from that round. If their finished score is 122 than their handicap adjusted score would be 72 – 22 = 100.
To reduce the impact of a bad hole, a cap is put on the maximum score allowed for each hole. In most formal settings, this score is set to a net double bogey (strokes on par of the hole + handicap strokes entitled for the hole + 2 extra strokes).
To illustrate with an example, suppose the par score is 5, and your handicap is 3, the maximum score would be limited to 5+3+2 = 10.
According to data, there are roughly 34.2 million Americans who play golf. Of these, the latest National Golf Foundation report estimates that only 5% (1.71 million) of American golfers can clear an 18-hole course in less than 80 strokes. However, more than half could clear the same course in 100 strokes or under, and nearly 90% could clear it in 120 or under.
Golf can be said to the closest game to life that one can imagine. Sometimes you will get bad breaks from good shots and sometimes good breaks from bad ones. Regardless, you have to play the ball where it lies and hope for the best outcome.

Before BELL, Circuit Judge, and HOOPER and MORGAN, District Judges.
GRIFFIN B. BELL, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiffs are residents and electors of Commissioner District No. 1 of DeKalb County, Georgia. They contend that the method of electing county commissioners in DeKalb County, and more specifically the method which appertained in the November 1964 general election, violates the equal protection and due process clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Jurisdiction of this suit is based on Title 28 U.S.C.A. § 1343(3). Declaratory and further relief is sought under Title 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 2201 and 2202. Three-Judge District Court status is premised on Title 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 2281 and 2284 in that the relief sought encompasses the restraining of state officials from giving effect to a state statute.
The facts necessary to a decision are undisputed. Moreover, plaintiffs have standing to maintain this action, and a justiciable issue is presented by the complaint. See Baker v. Carr, 1962, 369 U.S. 186, 82 S. Ct. 691, 7 L. Ed. 2d 663; Gray v. Sanders, 1963, 372 U.S. 368, 83 S. Ct. 801, 9 L. Ed. 2d 821; Wesberry v. Sanders, 1964, 376 U.S. 1, 84 S. Ct. 526, 11 L. Ed. 2d 481; Reynolds v. Sims, 1964, 377 U.S. 533, 84 S. Ct. 1362, 12 L. Ed. 2d 506, and related decisions.
The facts are that the governing body of DeKalb County was changed in 1956 from one Commissioner of Roads and Revenues to a Commission consisting of a chairman and four members. Ga.Laws 1956, pp. 3237-3259. The statute provided that all were to be elected county at large. However, the members other than the chairman were required to be residents of the commissioner district which they offered to represent. The county was divided into four commissioner districts, and it was provided that no two commissioners, excluding the chairman, could reside in the same district. Staggered terms of four years were set up under the statute with the *24 result that in one biennial election the chairman and two members are elected while in the next the other two members are elected. The residence requirement in effect diffused the representation over the county while giving each elector of the county by virtue of county at large elections a voice in the selection process.
This system was followed in connection with the election of which plaintiffs complain. James O. Almand, Sr., a Democrat, was selected over Bernard Blackwell, a Republican, by a vote of 38,317 to 35,736 on a county wide basis. Both were residents of Commissioner District No. 1. The vote in the district as distinguished from the county is not known since the voting precincts crossed district lines. The asserted unconstitutionality of the system is based on the theory that plaintiffs are deprived of representative government because the county wide vote may have overridden the will of those residing in the district. The prayer is that the county wide election provision of the statute be voided, that the election be decreed invalid, and that it be decreed that plaintiffs are entitled to choose and elect commissioners on a district basis.
Whether the selection of commissioners is to be on a district or county wide basis is a matter, in the beginning, of political or governmental policy and judgment. Commissioners have duties and responsibilities which relate specifically to their respective districts. On the other hand, the position embraces many matters which directly concern over-all county operations. The General Assembly of Georgia, at the instance of the DeKalb delegation in the General Assembly, adopted the statute in question. It provides for county wide elections. The General Assembly might have stopped at that point. However, it went further and diffused the representation by creating commissioner districts. The General Assembly might have taken the reverse tack and provided for district wide elections. It did not choose to do so. The selection of a system, so long as it is not proscribed by the federal Constitution, is, of course, not the business of the court. And this brings us to the issue in the case.
The facts presented together with the political and constitutional theories urged do not disclose any basis which demonstrates any offense to the Constitution. The teachings of Gray v. Sanders, supra, is to first determine the geographical unit, and then to see if the voters in the unit are treated equally. This is the one-man one-vote admeasurement. The political unit here involved is DeKalb County, and it is plain that every voter in the county is treated equally.
Plaintiffs claim comfort from our recent case of Dorsey v. Fortson, N.D., Ga., 1964, 228 F. Supp. 259, now pending on appeal in the Supreme Court. That case involved state senatorial districts. The geographical unit was the state and residents of some senatorial districts within the unit were treated differently from those of others. Some could vote for as many as seven senators while others could vote for only one. We held that system in violation of the equal protection clause. No such difference or distinction between electors exists in DeKalb County under the facts as presented here.
Nor is there any merit in the contention that residents of DeKalb County are treated differently from residents of Cobb County in light of the different election system in use in those respective counties. It does appear that county commissioners in Cobb County are elected on a district basis rather than county wide. Ga.Laws 1964, (Extra Sess.), p. 2075. However, we can take judicial notice of the fact that there are many forms of county and municipal governments in use in Georgia but each of these local governments is a geographical unit unto itself, and it is to the residents of the particular unit that the one-man one-vote rule is to be applied. Here, all in the unit are treated equally. And we know of no doctrine of law other than that of inequality on which a claim of denial of equal protection or due *25 process under such circumstances can otherwise rest. There is no right per se to select representatives from any given size district or unit. In short, the DeKalb County commissioner selection system appears to be a reasonable classification by the state and must be upheld. See McGowan v. Maryland, 1960, 366 U.S. 420, 81 S. Ct. 1101, 6 L. Ed. 2d 393.
Finding no merit in the position of plaintiffs, it follows that their complaint must be dismissed. Defendants may submit an appropriate order after due notice to counsel for plaintiffs.

The municipality employs approximately 1.100 people. Income to the municipality comes mainly from municipal taxation, fees and charges, and payments from the state. The municipal taxation rate is currently 21.9 %.
Overall responsibility for the operations of the municpality rests with the councillors who are elected in general elections held every four years. There are 91 positions in the council, however the number of councillors is fewer than the number of positions since some councillors represent several committees.

Winter Storm Stella could stall what has been a consistent increase in Adams County home sales.
Realtors Association of York & Adams Counties president, Deborah Goodling, said March numbers could be lower because of Tuesday's snowfall.
"Typically if we have a very mild winter, the real estate business is busy," she said. "We're stuck for at least two or three days. It does slow the market down a little."
Adams County experienced an increase in home sales for the past two months compared with the same months in 2016 — 21 percent in January and 15 percent in February. Home sales also increased by 17 percent for the January to February period this year compared with the same period last year.
"People are on the move in York and Adams County, " Goodling said in a monthly report. "Home sales continued to be strong through February and the median sale price rose in the majority of school districts."
"We feel this is a good indicator that spring months will be even busier. Buyer demand is high, but we could use more inventory."
The overall median sale price for the county in the January to February period this year was down by 1 percent compared to last year.
The county's overall median sale price held steady for the year-end comparison of 2015-2016 and the first two months in 2017.
"I would say we've had a good market in general throughout 2016 and that's helped in the market again in 2017," Goodling said.
She said good interest rates and new residential construction have helped prices and the number of homes sold in 2016.
Home sales on the rise in Spring Grove
Hanover and South Western school districts were down in home sales from January to February this year, but Spring Grove school district saw a 23 percent increase. Spring Grove home sales also increased by 13 percent in February 2017 compared to February 2016.

is one of the most active and funniest cricketers when it comes to creating content for social media. The left hander is very active on Instagram and often keeps on posting funny videos and dance videos on his handle along with his family.
Warner, who is currently part of the Australian squad for the Ashes, was recently observed spending time with his teammates and their families.
Recently, Warner's funny moment with fellow Australian cricketer Usman Khwaja's little daughter went viral and received many funny reactions from his fans all over the world.
Khawaja took to Instagram on Sunday and posted the video, which is adorable, yet hilarious at the same time.
In the video, Warner can be seen playing with Khawaja's daughter Aisha. Warner can also be heard neighing like a horse while trying to bring a smile on Aisha's face.
However, just moments after Warner started playing with the little one, he started to get cramps on his right leg.
Here's the video:
The Australian team is currently in Sydney ahead of the fourth Ashes Test against England, starting January 5 at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
The hosts have taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series after registering emphatic wins in Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne, respectively.
So far, Warner has scored 240 runs at an average of 56.73, including two half-centuries. Notably, he has been dismissed twice on a 90+ score in the ongoing Ashes series.
Warner regrets playing with Usman Khwaja's child as this happened later

A little bit of a sleeper at times, imho.
Hatchet is a story of lone survival in the wilderness. When a young boy off to visit his father in Northern Canada, is stranded off-course when the pilot of the small bush plane taking him there has a heart attack, he is forced to perform a crash landing.
While the boy fashions himself a shelter and works on taking care of the necessary amenities of life, he starts to become a different person. With a new found appreciation of nature and beauty, a carefully learned patience and a dedicated persistence and drive, he notices the marked difference in his thoughts and feelings.
Author Gary Paulsen infuses divorce and infidelity as part of the story line, and repeatedly has the boy, Brian, flashback to stressful images and thoughts related to his parents failed relationship. Although this inclusion seems slightly contrived and sometimes unnecessary, it's interesting to note how the old Brian was eager to inform his father of 'the secret,' while the newly enlightened Brian decided better of it.
Sounds like a younger version of Castaway.
Yes, you could say that. It definitely had potential to be so much more than it was, in my mind.


Dezign Kidz provides fledgling fashionistas age 7+ with hands-on instruction in fashion sketching, measuring, pinning, cutting, basic garment construction, hand and machine sewing and embellishing. Kids finish the camp with a wearable garment they can model at a camp-wide fashion show.
iD Tech Camp offers summer technology camps at over 60 college campuses in the U.S. for kids ages 7–17. Within their camp programs, you can choose any one of the following paths: video game designer, app programmer, robotics engineer, web designer, and 3-D animator.
The New York Film Academy offers hands-on 16mm filmmaking, digital filmmaking, acting, 3D animation, screenwriting, music video, and broadcast journalism camps for high school students. Kids at their LA camp even have the opportunity to shoot in-class production exercises on the prestigious Universal Studios back lot.
Kids Culinary Camp of Vermont is a residential summer cooking camp in rural VT that offers kids 10+ the opportunity to learn culinary arts in their Sauté Kitchen and Bakery and Pastry Arts programs. Each day during the week, campers explore different areas of study, such as knife and chopping skills, meal planning, soup and sauce making and cake decorating.
Fundy Marine and Science Institute offers Whale Camp, where kids age 10+ can have direct face-to-face encounters to closely observe and study whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and puffins in their own natural habitat. Kids actually work as marine biologists in training on board a 65-foot sailboat helping to collect data to document whale distribution, feeding and behavior patterns.
So admittedly, not every Gen We-era has the opportunity to attend camp, but according to the American Camp Association, 20% of them do. That equates to approximately 10 million kids, age 5 to 17, every year and a $2 billion industry that employs 1.2 million people. And these camps are giving them enviable first-hand knowledge that will certainly impact their ultimate career choices. In addition to camps, many Gen We-ers also have the opportunity to experiment with careers as part of their normal school curriculums.
So what does this mean for marketers like us? We need to recognize that kids today are more sophisticated at a younger age. Just took a look at today's doctor's kits—there is a lot more to them than when we were kids. And I would argue many of the play sets still aren't sophisticated enough for these kids. My nephew had a cardiologist visit his kindergarten class to talk about how the human heart works. Afterward, he was eager for more specific information around that area of interest and it just doesn't exist for kids his age.
One of the effects of this group's higher level of sophistication is a greater awareness of marketing and its tonality. Gen We is smart and they don't respond well to be talking downed to or what they perceive to be false claims. They see through when a product or toy is being touted to do something it likely won't actually deliver. Case in point: my daughter told me yesterday after seeing an ad for Hot Huez hair chalk, "Sure it looks cool, but that is not true. It probably won't work and is going to make a huge mess." I not only saved $14.95, but it reinforced to me that marketers like us need to do a better job of getting to know this generation and talking to them in a way that reflects that they are often more sophisticated and skeptical consumers than we expect.
This generation has also grown up in a connected world. They are naturally adept at technology and are plugged in to others at all times, giving them unprecedented access to information that other generations never had. As marketers, we can no longer talk to this group as "little kids." These are connected, complex consumers who are aware of the infinite possibilities and are powerfully transforming the marketing landscape.


Before the development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth for our Oak Brook patients.
Dental implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area normally occupied by the root of the tooth. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.
Not everyone is a candidate for a dental implant, however. For an implant to successfully take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require strict oral hygiene.
Dental implants are so well designed that they mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Implants are usually made of a synthetic, biocompatible material like metal or ceramic.
Surgery is necessary to prepare the area for a dental implant and to place the implant in the mouth. Following implant placement, a period of time is required for the implant to take hold and for the surrounding bone tissue to build up and anchor the device. After the implant is placed and becomes anchored in the bone, an artificial tooth or bridge can be placed over it to restore your smile.
Because implants require surgery, patients are administered anesthetic and, if necessary, antibiotics to help prevent infection following the procedure.
For more information on dental implants give us a call at (630)-573-7979.

New labour Bill: Ensure 'safety' if women work after 7 p.m.
As per the new Bill, working hours for women are to be between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. However, beyond these timings, the employer would have to ensure ''safety'' of a woman worker.
IANS|
Like the wage bill, the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Bill subsumes relevant provisions of at least 13 existing Central Labour Laws.( Representative Image)
NEW DELHI: June 21 ''Dignity and security'' of a woman worker is paramount says the new labour Bill, likely to be introduced in the ongoing session of Parliament.
Besides, on a holiday, a woman worker cannot be called for work. In case, there is an urgency for her to be called to work, her safety would have to be ensured by the employer.
Another important feature of the Bill is the definition of family (of a worker under the law), which now includes dependent grandparents. In other words, benefits granted to parents would now be availed by dependent grandparents too.
Sources said that the Bill, Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions 2019, cleared by the Cabinet is being vetted by the Law Ministry and would soon be introduced in Parliament.
Last week, a Group of Ministers(GoM) chaired by Home Minister Amit Shah suggested certain points in the Bill, including "taking the consent of the worker with respect to overtime hours."
For the benefit of both the worker and the employer, overtime hours enhanced to 100 hours would be further enhanced to 125 hours per month. Similarly, welfare provisions like creche for children, canteen for quality food, first aid facilities in case of any mishap and provision of a welfare officer in an establishment have also been given importance.
These welfare steps would have to be ensured by "all establishments as far as practically feasible." Like the wage bill, the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Bill subsumes relevant provisions of at least 13 existing Central Labour Laws.
"We have tried to make laws easier and better for the worker. We have also tried to ensure a balance between rights of the workers and the employers. The government has given top priority to the safety of women. For working journalists, including those working in the electronic media, better wages and working conditions have been assured," said a top official of the Labour and Employment Ministry.
Sources said on the instructions of the leadership, several other benefits would be granted to workers. For instance, employers would provide free of cost annual health checks-up for employees above prescribed age. Employers would also be expected to provide an appointment letter to every employee.
The radical changes for the benefits of the worker have been included in the Bill after extensive consultations with all stake holders, including the central trade unions, employers associations and state governments.
The Prime Minister''s Office had a series of meetings over the Bill. Earlier last year, the draft of the bill was uploaded on the website of the Labour and Employment Ministry to include suggestions of the stake holders as well as general public.

Gillette Corner is a crossroads in west London. It is where a straightened medieval route Syon Lane (B454) crosses the triple carriageway of the Great West Road A4 and is the western end of the West Cross business district (which has an older, more ambiguous name, the Golden Mile).  A disused name for the neighbourhood is Syon Hill.

Place name
It is very locally used as a placename (toponym) interchangeably with Syon Lane and formerly, for a time, Syon Hill. As with Osterley to the east and north these terms are the upper hinterland of the historic parish of Isleworth, centred to the south.  A projection of Brentford begins a short distance to the south-east.  Osterley is increasingly seized upon (over a wider area), due to its associations with and origins in the elaborate, very verdant traditional home of the Earls of Jersey, Osterley Park.

Syon Lane

Syon Lane was turnpiked in 1767 and straightened twelve years later. A map seeking to show the early 19th century layout of Cranford, Heston and Isleworth moments before their large central and north-western open fields were, as documented, legally privatised (enclosed), in the Victoria County History shows the various lanes and extent of settlement, which was focussed on the Roman London-westward road, kept up as a road locally today. The accompanying narrative states the lanes were all medieval linking the several hamlets. Syon Lane ran past land featuring Wyke House then after a fork, stately Osterley Park on its east side to Southall, the parish to the north. The fork to the north was for a winding lane west, via the depopulated hamlet of Scrattage (today residential Osterley) towards Heston.  Syon Lane here had its own hamlet of a perhaps depleted estimate of eight buildings, Syon Hill, which lay just south of Gillette Corner.

Land use and architecture
Gillette Corner marks the western end of the Great West Road's landmark manufacturing sites and office headquarters – dubbed the "Golden Mile" of the 1930s, with Art Deco and modernist design features. It was adapted for the dystopian Brave New World of that decade. Directly north east set behind the main road's characteristic sparse but long line of trees is the 'Gillette Building'. It is a grade II listed Art Deco style office with workshop floors and outbuildings, designed by Sir Banister Fletcher, incorporating a high brick tower surmounted by a four-faced neon-illuminated clock. As this tall structure sits on high ground it represents a prominent local landmark and can be seen from afar, day and night. From the early 1930s until the early 21st century it was the European headquarters of the Gillette Company, of Boston, Massachusetts.  In 1958 the buildings employed over 1,000 people. Beyond it is a Tesco hypermarket, several buildings east is the headquarters of media company Sky.

Public transport
South is Syon Lane railway station. The nearest tube stations are Boston Manor and Osterley, and it is regularly served by H91 and H28 buses.

Gillette building
The Bonnington Group was granted planning permission by the London Borough of Hounslow to develop the building into a hotel and small business park, which will add to the West Cross area, of which Gillette Corner forms the western end. Work has not yet started and the site was sold to a holding company, Gillette Corner Holdings, in 2013.

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2O. In its pure form, it is a colourless liquid, slightly more viscousthan water; however, for safety reasons it is normally used as an aqueous solution. Hydrogen peroxide is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen–oxygen single bond) and finds use as a strong oxidizer, bleaching agent and disinfectant. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide, or "high-test peroxide", is a reactive oxygen species and has been used as a propellant inrocketry.Hydrogen peroxide is often described as being "water but with one more oxygen atom", a description that can give the incorrect impression of significant chemical similarity between the two compounds. While they have a similar melting point and appearance, pure hydrogen peroxide will explode if heated to boiling, will cause serious contact burns to the skin and can set materials alight on contact. For these reasons it is usually handled as a dilute solution (household grades are typically 3–6% in the U.S. and somewhat higher in Europe). Its chemistry is dominated by the nature of its unstable peroxide bond.

Sandy Vee Anderson Is Dolly*
JMT MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT
presents Dolly Parton Tribute
Sandy Anderson traded in working 9 to 5 for singing "9 to 5" when she began her award-winning tribute to Dolly Parton a decade ago. The Las Vegas-based entertainer has even performed a duet with Dolly herself – the two of them charming fans at Dollywood with a sassy version of "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better." She has portrayed Dolly with the world-famous Legends in Concert show at such illustrious venues as the Imperial Palace and Harrah's in Las Vegas, The Grand Palace in Branson, and the Legends Theater in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Sandy truly becomes Dolly when she performs. Her glamorous costumes and wigs create a striking visual resemblance to the Country Music icon and her singing voice is a dead-ringer for Dolly's; setting the stage for a very memorable performance. She even includes the trademark Dolly comedy routine, which begins with, "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." In any setting, from personal appearances to corporate events to Vegas-style shows, Sandy's talent and professionalism allow her to thrill an audience.

What businesses need a Minnesota tax ID?
Since the end of the 2018 Legislative Session, the Minnesota Department of Revenue has been working to update the state tax filing systems for taxpayer use in 2019. This process happens annually, starting after the end of the legislative session. This year, we will update the tax filing systems to accommodate the differences between the federal and Minnesota tax laws. There were significant revisions to the federal tax laws, but Minnesota's tax laws have not significantly changed.
As we work to update our tax system to accommodate the differences between Minnesota's tax code and federal tax law, we are gathering frequently asked questions and providing answers on our FAQ page.
Stay up to date on the latest information about the 2019 filing season for tax year 2018 by subscribing to our Tax Law Changes email list. We will send notices to that email list as we update our 2019 Filing Season for Tax Year 2018 FAQs.
How long does it take the department to update the tax filing systems each year?
The department's timeline for making changes to our income tax filing systems spans approximately nine months each year. This process starts in May each year at the end of the legislative session and continues through the opening of filing season in January.
When is the Minnesota filing deadline for tax year 2018?
Minnesota law has not changed. The filing deadline is April 15 or, in the event April 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the first succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday. The filing deadline for tax year 2018 will be Monday, April 15, 2019.
Will there be opportunities for me to learn more about changes expected in the 2019 filing season?
For email updates on the latest information and opportunities to engage, subscribe to our Tax Law Changes email list.
Has the department been working with tax professionals and other stakeholders about the best way to accommodate the differences between the new federal tax law and the Minnesota tax code?
Access the information we covered in our meetings and conference calls on the 2018 Conference Calls page.
Questions and comments made by participants were an important and valued part of these conference calls. Participant questions and feedback are incorporated into our 2019 Filing Season for Tax Year 2018 FAQs.
How can I stay informed about the answers to questions that have been raised?
If you have a question we have not yet answered, please email us at TaxYear2018@state.mn.us.

Q: Why does $\int _0^1\sqrt{1+\frac{3}{x}}dx$ converge? Why does the following integral converge?
$$\int _0^1\sqrt{1+\frac{3}{x}}dx$$

A: Short answer:
Around $0$, the behavior is $\propto\dfrac1{\sqrt x}$.

A: $\int _0^1\sqrt{1+\frac{3}{x}}dx < \int _0^1\sqrt{\frac{1+3}{x}}dx$
which means
$\int _0^1\sqrt{1+\frac{3}{x}}dx < 4$


A resource is a package of stat bonuses and aspects, with prerequisites and limitations. Sometimes they boost talent rolls, or provide alternative dice to be used with a talent.
Resources don't require XP to be invested in them, but like aspects a PC's total XP limits the number of "slots" a character is assigned. Some resources take up multiple slots.
The below are presented as weapons, but they could just as easily be realised as a special technique, or the result of implants/stimulants etc.
Full action Melee attack. 1d20 + 2 x STR. Includes the Bash aspect, granting a chance to apply Stun 1 to the target if they fail a Resistance roll.
Full action Melee attack. 3d6 + STR + FOC. Includes the Lethality aspect, improving critical hit threshold by 1 and adding the user's Melee talent dice to critical damage.
"Penalty" refers to the stat reduction applied whenever the resource is used outside of its defined limits. Penalty is common to armour and heavy weaponry, reducing the user's capacity to be quick, silent, graceful. It indicates a certain amount of clunk and unsubtlety, and Penalty is worsened if the user cannot handle the Encumbrance and/or prerequisites: however, very high stats can reduce it. A STR 10 character wielding the Hammer would face a Penalty of only -1. Various aspects further mitigate, ignore, or otherwise utilise Penalty.
Unless otherwise stated, attacks (natural and resource-granted) can be Hurried. Hurrying the attack reduces the action cost by 1, but the Penalty applies and the normal attribute modifier (if any) is halved.
Encumbrance refers to physical weight/bulk in equipment, but with psionic abilities and other abstract cases it may refer to the user's ability to concentrate and maintain multiple effects. In such an instance it would require a mental attribute to address it, rather than STR.
Resources differ from attribute scores and talent ranks in that any granted bonuses are not considered innate. In the same way that aspect abilities can be disabled by the Exhausted status effect, resources are vulnerable to Lockout. Lockout targets a resource and disables its use.
Lockout might be seen as a situational version of Stun. Whereas Stun actively reduces the target's action allowance for a time, a Lockout lingers until addressed: Lockout 3, for example, means that the Lockout effect will apply until the affected character spends 3 actions (a full turn) to remove it.
A Lockout can be a disarming move, a hacking attempt, psionic paralysis, a horrifying revelation. Spending the action(s) can represent diving to retrieve a dropped weapon, or cutting away the webbing of a physics-defying giant spider: anything that would feasibly counter and end the effect.
A disarmed wielder might opt to use their bare hands or switch to a secondary weapon rather than taking the time to retrieve their sword: in all senses, they are unimpeded by Lockout beyond that specific resource being, well, locked out.
It's entirely possible to create a character without resources in the Exigency system, but it's certainly not recommended. Protection from abilities that compromise resources would be a poor substitute for all the advantages they can provide.

Positive Move For High Mill Development
Carluke's historic High Mill has received Planning Consent for:
Proposed Alterations and extensions to the mill and former stable buildings and erection of various community buildings within site to form community use spaces and garden.
And listed Building Consent for:
Restoration, Alterations and Extensions to Mill and associated buildings.
This is another significant step on the community's journey to restoring the 200+ year-old Mill and the creation of a Community Growing & Learning Garden and will allow the development and submission of significant funding applications, seeking support for the repair and restoration of the existing buildings and the creation of new community facilities including:
A Community Food HUB
An Outdoor Classroom/ Potting Shed
A Changing Places Facility
Community meeting and events
The Carluke Community Trading Board (CCT) has led the development of the project for the past two years, and and has achieved a number of successes including;
Purchase of the Mill and land on behalf of the community
Creation of community growing areas within the garden.
Members of our communities have been involved for a significant number of years and one such long-term supporter and Chair of the High Mill Steering Group, Christine Warren said,
"This is such a significant step towards saving an important part of Carluke's, and the nation's, industrial heritage. The High Mill and its surrounding community garden can now be developed into a most wonderful asset for everyone in the Carluke community.
This project has the capacity to fulfil so many physical and mental outcomes for the young and the not so young, for the fit and the not so fit. It will also provide job opportunities. As the project progresses, visitors will also come to see our High Mill in all its restored glory bringing an added benefit to our town. It is the beginning of an exciting time for Carluke."
Carluke Development Trust's Chair Tom Sneddon –
"This is great news. We have reached another important milestone in our journey in realising our overall masterplan for the land and buildings which has been widely publicised. This is up there with the community taking ownership of the site and importantly provides hope in these strange times."
Whilst an important Milestone, the securing of Planning and Listed Building Consent represents the beginning of the next stage of the projects development including:
Development and submission of significant funding applications
Further development of the ONECarluke Community Growing & Learning Garden
Development of volunteering, employment, and training opportunities for our communities.
Claudia Beamish MSP (South of Scotland):
"Having been involved in supporting initial negotiations with the previous owner of High Mill, I congratulate all who have worked tirelessly to reach this point in such an exciting community journey.
The positive aims of the Trust for the Mill and the opportunities for wellbeing created by the community garden are now closer to reality and a tonic for all in such challenging times."
Councillor, Poppy Corbett added "I am delighted to see that Planning Consents have been granted to The Carluke High Mill and very much look forward to watching the development of this Historic Site. Congratulations to Carluke Development Trust for all of their hard work in this project"
Angela Crawley MP said:
"I am delighted that consent has been granted for the Carluke High Mill and the ONECarluke Community Growing & Learning Garden.
"Both projects have the potential to be transformational for the area and will become a real community asset.
"I wish the Trust well as they move through the next stages of the process and look forward to working with them to help them realise their ambitions."
MSP for Clydesdale Aileen Campbell said:
"After a dedicated effort from all involved in Carluke to redevelop this historic site for the town, to receive planning consent now is a moment of real achievement and sets the path forward for the plans to be put to fruition.
"I am excited to see the project move forward and to see the benefits for the town that will hopefully come."

Comfort is something we all take very seriously. No one enjoys being too cold or too hot, so when your home only makes the problem worse, where do you turn? Well the answer very well may be a zoning system from ACS Inc in Tucker.
Not only can zoning systems help you save money year after year, they also keep you happy at a more comfortable temperature. While you may have not given a second thought to a zoning system in the past, there are a few benefits that may warrant another look at them.
Controlling the comfort of separate spaces in your home has just met its match with the iHarmony® Zoning System. Whether you want to alter the temperature of the entire house or only have a few rooms that need adjustment, the zoning system can tackle it. One of the best parts about the iHarmony® Zoning System is that those modifications don't have to be made at the thermostat itself. You can alter it from your smartphone without getting out of your recliner too, so don't worry about everyone wanting to get up to make changes all at once.
Working to maintain the perfect temperature throughout your entire house can be quite a difficult project. However, when you take advantage of all the perks that the Harmony III™ Zoning System has, you can make complete comfort a reality. Did we mention that zoning systems can also help you save money on your energy bills? By setting separate temperatures in spaces that aren't used as frequently, you're able to stop heating and cooling rooms that are seldom used. You'll be blown away by the difference the Harmony III™ Zoning System can make in your home.
When it comes to heating and cooling, flexibility can be your best friend. And when you're talking about the LZP-4 Zoning System you can rest easy knowing that you're able to keep your home at the ideal temperature at all times. The LZP-4 Zoning System also has a time delay feature so you don't have to worry about the system turning on and off all the time, causing your bills to rise and wasting energy.
Picture the freedom of controlling your home's comfort by splitting it in two. The LZP-2 Zoning System does just that, letting you maintain separate climate-controlled zones, so that you're comfortable in every area of your home. The best part is that you don't have to spend a lot to take advantage of the system's perks. Oh, and it may save you money every month too. It's a win-win!
While it may seem like zoning systems have a lot of features, they may save you every month by lowering wasteful heating and cooling. We also understand that you may have a couple questions about zoning systems, so give the pros from ACS Inc in Tucker a call at 770-450-1539 or set up an appointment online with our online scheduler for more information.
