Attempting to use Eric Lauer's success against the Dodgers to build a better pitcher
When the Milwaukee Brewers acquired Eric Lauer from the San Diego Padres in November, the instant reaction from almost everyone — particularly Brewers fans — was a shoulder shrug. The prize of that trade for Milwaukee was Luis Urias — a former top prospect with enormous upside. And it was Urias who was talked about the most, and it was Urias who made giving up Trent Grisham and Zach Davies easier to swallow. Lauer was considered by many as a throw-in in a deal that centered around other players. And that makes sense. Lauer has a career 4.40 ERA with a low-velocity fastball. There's nothing flashy or eye-opening about that, especially compared to a player in Urias who MLB.com ranked as the 16th-best prospect in baseball in 2019.
But I see potential in Lauer, and the potential spawns from his continuous dominance against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Is there a reason why he looks like an ace when he faces the Dodgers? Does he do something different? Let's investigate.
First, we need to look at just how successful Lauer has been against the Dodgers relative to other teams. Here is how Lauer has performed against opponents in his former division, the National League West.
Dodgers 42.2 2.11
Diamondbacks 39.0 2.77
Giants 35.1 4.08
Rockies 26.0 9.35
Lauer has thrown 42.2 innings against the Dodgers in his career, the most out of any other opponent. Over those 42.2 innings, he has a 2.11 ERA with 43 strikeouts. Need further proof that he owns the Dodgers?
Dodgers .199 .254 .354 .608
Diamondbacks .263 .333 .388 .721
Giants .259 .306 .400 .706
Rockies .370 .347 .563 1.000
Career as a starter .275 .342 .435 .777
The Dodgers must be over-the-moon happy that Lauer makes his living in a different division now. Maybe they'll finally win a World Series. I joke with all seriousness. But the question remains; does Lauer do something different when he faces the Dodgers? Does he switch his pitch sequences? Does he attack a different zone? Or is it as simple as Lauer's a left-hander and the Dodgers' lineup is made up of mostly left-handed hitters?
The lefty against lefty argument actually doesn't hold any weight in this case. Lauer has surprisingly been worse against left-handed hitters than righties in his career, and it hasn't been particularly close. Lauer has allowed a .377 wOBA against left-handers versus a .318 wOBA against right-handers. So we can reasonably move on from that line of thought.
Let's get into his pitch mixes.
According to Baseball Savant, Lauer throws five pitches but really relies on four. His arsenal includes a four-seam fastball, a cutter, a curveball, a slider and a changeup.
His breakdown of pitch usage is as follows:
Pitch %
Four-seam 53.1%
Cutter 21.4%
Curve 13.8%
Slider 8.0%
Changeup 3.6%
Lauer's four-seamer and cutter make up most of his repertoire, as he launches those pitches around 75 percent of the time. Lauer has allowed a .332 wOBA against his four-seam fastball and a .360 wOBA against his cutter, which are not friendly marks and broadly illustrates why Lauer's career ERA sits at 4.40.
So now that we know his pitch repertoire and usage, we can look at his splits against the Dodgers and see if there's a difference. There just has to be a reason Lauer looks like Nolan Ryan when facing Los Angeles. I broke down every one of Lauer's starts against the Dodgers by pitch type, and then lumped them all together in the end to compare them against his career.
In Lauer's third career start, he began his dominance over the Dodgers. He went six innings and allowed no runs on seven hits. He walked one and struck out five. Unfortunately, it appears Baseball Savant doesn't have his pitch types for this game, so we're going to have to exclude this outing from the data. And that's too bad because Lauer was brilliant.
Lauer pitched maybe the greatest game of his young career during this outing, as he finished one out away from a complete-game shutout. Max Muncy hit a solo home run with two outs in the ninth inning to spoil Lauer's outing and end his night. In total, Lauer pitched 8.2 innings of four-hit ball, with one run allowed and eight strikeouts. That's close to a masterpiece. Here are his pitch breakdowns:
Slider 12.2%
There's nothing that jumps out to you when you compare his pitch usage to his career norms, though he did rely on his slider more often than usual and didn't throw a single changeup.
Lauer went five innings in this September start against the Dodgers, limiting Los Angeles to one run on four hits. He struck out five and walked one. Yet another solid performance from the rookie pitcher.
In this outing, Lauer reduced his cutter usage dramatically from his previous start against the Dodgers. He also cut down on his cutter and mixed in a changeup here and there while relying on his four-seamer a bit more.
In his seventh start of 2019, Lauer once again limited Los Angeles' potent offense. The lefty finished five innings of two-run ball with five strikeouts.
This is drastically different than Lauer's previous outings against the Dodgers, and it's a bit shocking. He still threw his four-seam fastball the most, but it dropped under 50 percent, while he threw his cutter over a third of the time. Lauer also completely set aside his slider and changeup. He went with a different pitch mix and still saw positive results.
Lauer gave up one earned run in six innings. He allowed four hits and set down six via the strikeout.
Curve 3.2%
After completely throwing away his slider in his May start against Los Angeles, Lauer brought it back with a vengeance. For the first time, he threw it more than his cutter. This makes one thing certain; Lauer has done a good job of changing things up in order to keep the Dodgers guessing.
Less than a month later, Lauer faced the Dodgers again and Los Angeles still couldn't figure him out. Lauer pitched six innings of two-run ball with six strikeouts.
For the second-straight start against the Dodgers, Lauer used his slider more than his cutter. His four-seam fastball, however, was his go-to pitch even more of than usual, as 57 of his 87 pitches fell into that category.
In his final start against the Dodgers, Lauer struck out eight batters over six innings while allowing three earned runs. Not a bad way to end a season against his favorite opponent.
Although his cutter usage surged a little, Lauer continued his slider-over-cutter trend for the third consecutive outing. His eight strikeouts matched a career high against Los Angeles.
Now that we've broken down each of Lauer's starts against the Dodgers, it's time to compare that to his career as a whole. Hopefully, we'll be able to figure out why he's had so much success against the Dodgers while being basically a league-average pitcher against the rest of the league. And if we can't, well, this was a fun exercise anyway.
Pitch % against the Dodgers
Career Pitch %
Four-seam 53.7% 53.1%
Cutter 18.9% 21.4%
Curve 9.6% 13.8%
Slider 15.7% 8.0%
Changeup 2.1% 3.6%
The biggest difference seems to be Lauer's slider usage. Lauer has thrown his slider nearly eight percent more often against the Dodgers than he does against the rest of the league. Could that be the thing keeping him from being a front-of-the-rotation type arm? Maybe. But maybe not. Lauer has allowed an unbelievable .177 wOBA when throwing his slider to the Dodgers, but a .313 wOBA against it for his career. The latter ranks 182 of 218 qualified pitchers. So while his slider is dominant against the Dodgers, it's largely ineffective against most other teams. And if we break it down even more, it makes sense. The Dodgers have the fourth-worst wOBA against the slider since 2018 (when Lauer began his career). Their .286 wOBA is only better than the Pirates, Red Sox and Astros during that time.
The last thing I want to look at is Lauer's pitch locations. The heat map on the left is Lauer's pitch locations against every team he's faced. The heat map on the right is his pitch locations against the Dodgers.
Lauer has been able to locate his pitches better against the Dodgers than he has against the rest of the league. When facing the Dodgers, Lauer has been able to stay out of the middle of the zone more often and has hit the bottom corner on a relatively consistent basis. Placing a cutter and/or a slider on the bottom corner edge as he does against the Dodgers is borderline unhittable. There's no doubt that location has played a significant part in Lauer's success and failure, but I don't necessarily think it explains his complete and utter ownership of the Dodgers' franchise.
I don't know if we solved anything here, but it was still a fun attempt. In 2020 as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, I would like to see Lauer continuously change his usage between his cutter and slider in drastic and noticeable ways, while maybe being less reliant on his four-seam fastball. Lauer has said in the past that his slider is a constant work in progress, so maybe with more time to hone it, his slider can be just as devastating to the rest of Major League Baseball as it is to the Dodgers.

Former Tel Aviv mayor Shlomo (Cheech) Lahat passed away Wednesday morning at the age of 86. Lahat was rushed to the hospital Tuesday night after losing consciousness and was hospitalized in critical condition with severe infection.
Lahat's son Dan, who is a city council member today, told local media that his father died in a Tel Aviv hospital early Wednesday. Reports claimed Lahat had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for several years.
Born in Germany in 1927, Lahat rose to the rank of brigadier general in the Israeli army and went into politics in 1973. He was elected Tel Aviv mayor the following year and remained in office until 1993.
Known popularly as "Chich," Lahat was formally affiliated with the hard-line Likud Party, but became a strong supporter of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the main force behind Israeli peace efforts with Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization. Rabin was assassinated in Tel Aviv in 1995 at a pro-peace rally that Lahat had helped to organize.
Lahat is widely credited with inventing the slogan "the city that never stops" to describe Tel Aviv, a 105-year-old community distinguished by Bauhaus architecture and a laid-back Mediterranean-style culture.
He served as mayor of Tel Aviv between 1974 and 1993, presiding over its transformation into a vibrant and open urban center, easily distinguishable from the much more religious and restrained Jerusalem. It was under his leadership that Tel Aviv took on the racy and cosmopolitan aura it is known for today.
Lahat will be buried in Tel Aviv on Friday.

A: In C++, there is no difference.  In C, however, use of
struct a { ... };

Requires you to use the following to declare variables:
int main ( int, char ** )
{
    struct a instance;
}

To avoid the redundant struct in variable declarations, use of the aforementioned typedef is required and allows you to use only the a instance; syntax

A: In the first to declare you must say struct a my_struct; in the latter you simply say a my_struct;

I played rise of the nations once , didnt like it much , its like red alert 2 , but different things and weapons etc..
I've played it, it's a great sandbox game. But if you're looking for a sandbox game, I'd recommend Prototype, it just came out today, it's available for the PC, PS3 & X360.
rise of nations, one of the most games i love, w especially rise of legends!!!
I don't live in Lebanon but according to most sites the release should be June 12 in the PAL regions, check the Virgin stores.
They are both really good, InFamous has a cartoonish feel to it, it also has a good/evil system while Prototype has a more mature theme, better storyline but you can't choose to be good or evil.
They do have similar gameplay/style but the atmosphere of the cities is very different.
I liked the two games so if you have the cash get them both, but if I'd had to choose only one I'd pick Prototype.
I was just heading out to the electronics store to get it, I've only played the demo so far but it's got good action in it.


So I need to make a decision for shapesynth, fix some uikit layout quirks for the latest ios or keep sphero support.
@PalmSounds Woohoo! I found a workaround for the issues in the new api, so sphero will still be available.

Happy National Forest Week! Get out in the Woods and Enjoy!
While Williamstown does not have a National Forest, nor does anywhere in Massachusetts for that matter, where you can celebrate National Forest week (July 12th-18th, 2021) there is the Green Mountain National Forest that extends to the southern end of Pownal, VT. If you want to be a purest and celebrate in a National Forest, go north up White Oaks Road to the Vermont border and then park in the lot on the east (right hand) side of the road. The trail ahead crosses the old North Adams Municipal Watershed and then parallels the Brook before criss-crossing it several times. You'll have to turn these sections into "splash hikes" since the bridges have been out for years. It will be refreshing on a hot day in July. For a more detailed description of the Broad Brook Trail see:
https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/vermont/broad-brook-trail?mobileMap=false&ref=sidebar-static-map and the US Forest Service site: https://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/regions/eastern/BroadBrookTrail/index.shtml
We lack an authentic National Forest, but do have the next generation concept for sustainable forest natural resource management and economic development in the newly-formed Mohawk Trail Woodland Partnership. The MTWP is a consortium of municipalities in Northern Berkshire and Western Franklin counties, the MA Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, the U.S. Forest Service, regional planning agencies, regional land trusts, watershed associations in the Hoosic and Deerfield drainage basins, and other academic and forestry-related institutions. The partnership is dedicated to increasing sustainable natural resource-based economic development, supporting conservation of forest lands, managing our forested landscapes in a sustainable manner, and improving the fiscal sustainability of our municipalities. Recently the MTWP has awarded grants to the Towns of Williamstown and Adams to develop forest management plans to sequester additional carbon and generate verifiable carbon offsets. Other towns have received grants to improve access to forests and woodlands in a sustainable fashion.

Moonpeak often also written as Mun Peak lies majestically in the western himalayan region. It is easily the most distinct, visible and spectacular peak within the Dhauladhar range. It lies on the right side of Indrahar Pass. This mountain range also divides the Kangra and Chamba valleys.
There is a steep gradient to the whole trek while a later part of the summit has technical rocks and boulders. It is a short but challenging trek to be honest. The expedition starts from Laka Got, over the Indrahar pass and descending to Marn Kandi behind the Indrahar.
What is so cool about the Moonpeak Expedition?
Apart from offering breathtaking sights of the Indian Plains, the holiest peak in the region, Mani Mahesh and the Pir Panjal range, it is an old trail frequented by the Gaddi shepherds with their flocks enroute grazing pastures of the Raavi valley and Lahul in the summers.


Live chat operative plays an integral role in the triumph of an online trade endeavor. Being at the working end, it is their act that openly affects the accomplishment rate of live chat support as an online customer service medium. So, it is important that the chat agents accept extremely professional attitude and trail definite guidelines and manners.
Tolerance is the most vital asset of an operator. No matter how maddening the client is or how ridiculous his allegations are, you must under no circumstances lose your calm. Always be civil and quiet; let the client finish whatsoever he is saying and never charge in the discussion by cutting him short. There is no likelihood for short tempered and ill-tempered people in the world of client service, so you must study to keep yourself calm in highly taxing circumstances and must never disobey with a customer.
Being a CSR, your top most main concern must be to solve the customers' problems efficiently. You must go outside the given cheat sheet and discovery methods to openly aid them. A regular chat agent would simply tell a client 'no' and move on, but a good chat mediator will get out his luxury zone and find ways to resolve the client issue. An additional exertion on your behalf will be extremely valued by the clienteles and will earn your organization client devotion.
The finest way to be indulgent and obliging towards a client is to step into his shoes. Sympathy is very essential for any CSR. Looking at a problem through the eyes of a client will help you better in sympathetic, examining and solving it. Empathizing will also make standing customer outbreaks' calmer, as this way you would understand why the client feels so irritated.
Welfare is vital when working a forklift. There are numerous varieties of forklifts but for the most part examining those trails the same process. So here are some propositions on in what way you can check that a forklift you are using is in decent state, has no probable security threats and is not unsafe to use.
Look at the safety gear before you use it. Check the cooling system, engine oil, and transmission fluid prior to working. Botch of any of these can render the forklift unworkable in a risky position. To do this, you will need to boost the engine cover and move the navigation wheel forward.
Check for any oil seepages around the forklift making sure that nothing is found. This must include lift tubes, wheel cores, hydraulic fixtures and valve coils. Look at any lift cables and rollers if the mechanism is so furnished. Dented links in lift chains can break, allowing loads to tumble down; worn or out-of-round rollers can drag, tossing railings off their pathways on telescoping lifts.
Check the tires for any noteworthy wear. Make sure they are correctly inflated, and have no latex mutilation to their sidewalls or treads. A sudden blow-out can be grounds for a forklift to upturn, hurting or slaying by-standers and the machinist. Keep the operator's space unsoiled. Fragments can make using switches tough by jamming them or stalling access to them.
Do you have a bread machine, but no guidebook, for the reason that you obtained it at a yard sale, inherited it from a family member, or just misplaced the handbook? As an alternative of stowing it in a cupboard and adding to your "I'll use it in the future..." litter, get underway making your very own fresh, warm, delightful bread!
Take some time to examine it. There is a hinged cover, which can be raised and sealed; there may be a space in it, and perhaps a slight vent too. Next to the cover, you must see a control panel with a few buttons (and maybe a light or two if you have a fancy version). Inside the bread machine, there is a bread pan or bucket. There should be a handle on it, which is probably folded down so the lid will close. The bread bucket works as both the mixing bowl and the baking pan. In the center of the bread bucket will be a little bread paddle or kneading blade. It is responsible for kneading and mixing the dough. When the dough bakes, it bakes around the kneading blade. You must remove the blade from the bottom of the loaf after the bread is baked.
Take the bread container out set it next to the basin. Get a gauging cup and fill it with H2O. Dispense the water into the bread bucket. Do it constantly, till the bucket is filled. Tally how many cups of water you are putting into the bucket, until you get a total. This part is vital, so portion carefully. When you choose a procedure, it is imperative that you equal it up to the size of the bread bucket you have. You would not want to make a 2 lb recipe in a 1 lb machine. It would cause in a big mess.
Wood lathes can be operated to produce handy fixtures, gorgeous ornamental wood objects such as candleholders and plates, or even things such as chess pieces. These apparatuses differ in mass from pastime replicas that fit on a modest bench to huge industrial-sized machineries weighing tons, but they all share some rudimentary components. below are some directions for operating these exceptional apparatuses.
· Bed length is the expanse among midpoints, or the all-out measurement of the stock that can be revolved.
· Swing is the word termed to define the biggest thickness stock that can be turned.
· Horsepower is the total of rotating force the lathe motor does, which in turn will decide how dense an article can be twisted without overworking this critical piece.
· RPMs are the revolutions per minute the stock can be spun. Now, note that the majority, if not all lathes have adjustable speed settings. A lathe with a very small speed range permits the user to begin with a piece of abnormally fashioned, uneven stock without too much shaking, and high speed machines can hasten the labor while making obtaining a fine, smooth finish easier to attain.
· Mass and structure. Heftier machines with cast iron beds and steel mounts provide a decent, rock-hard work stage, but can be problematic to transfer if you are working it in a packed workshop where you will be stowing it when it is not in usage.
Security is critical when using a forklift. There are numerous kinds of forklifts nevertheless for the most part inspecting them charts the same method. So here are some recommendations on how you can see if a forklift you are operating is in decent state, has no possible security threats and is safe to use.
Foremost you need to gaze at the safety apparatus. Check the coolant, engine oil, and transmission fluid before to operating. Botch of any of these can reduce the forklift into an inoperable state. To do this, you will need to raise the engine cover and move the navigation wheel forward.
Check for any oil seepages round the forklift. This must include lift pipes, wheel hubs, hydraulic fixtures and valve spools. Check the lines for any wear and tear. Any bare supporting wire or crumpled steel fixtures show a possibly appalling letdown of the machine's hydraulic structure.
Look at any lift cables and rollers if the machine is so furnished. Dented links in lift chains can breakdown; letting loads to fall, worn or out-of-round rollers can drag, tossing rails off their tracks on telescoping lifts.
Look at the tires for any weighty wear. Make sure they are correctly inflated, and have no elastic mutilation to their sidewalls or treads. A swift blow-out can be a reason for a forklift to upturn, harming or slaying by-standers and the operator.
Check that the footbrakes are working correctly. If you are carrying weighty material and cannot stop, somebody will get injured.
Keep the operator's space clean. Rubbles can make using controls problematic by jamming them or delaying access to them.
Drills are one of the most useful gears for DIY jobs, but like all power gears, they need to be held securely. Knowing how to drill properly will aid to prevent anyone from harm from soaring splinters of fragmented material or indecorously held electricity. If you ever have a security inquiry that this guide does not reply, your drill's handbook is a good place to look next.
Evade loose-fitting outfit or hanging trinkets that could catch in the drill as you lean over it. Put on safety specs or goggles that shield the edges of your eyes, to guard them from airborne wreckages.
A handheld electrical drill yields about 80 decibels, which is just sufficient to cause hearing injury after lengthy contact. Most battery-operated drills are soft enough that hearing guard is not needed.
If the task kicks up a lot of dirt, wear breathing guard. A dust cover is only good for short-term relief. Use a gasmask if you drill frequently or for long phases of time, or if the material you are piercing is a known breathing threat.
Expending a bit made from the incorrect material can be a reason for the bit or the material you're drilling to breakdown. You can use a general-purpose bit on almost any wood; a stone bit for stone, brick or concrete; an HSS (high speed steel) bit on most metals; and a carbide or diamond-tipped bit on very solid, breakable surfaces such as ceramic, cut-glass, or glazed tiles. There are many dedicated bit patterns, so turn to the drill handbook or bit producer if you're not certain which bit to use.
The wedge is the clamp in the "mouths" of the drill. This clutches the drill bit in place as it turns. To exchange a drill bit, make certain the drill is off (and unplugged if corded), then undo the chuck by revolving it. Depending on the drill, you may be capable to do this by hand, or you may need a chuck key situated in a section in the top or handgrip of the drill. Insert the drill bit into the chuck, and then tighten up the chuck then your all set. Make sure the bit is straight and locked, and take away the key before you turn on the drill.
If the drill has a cable, on no occasion leave it stretched through a passageway when not in use. At no time pick up the drill by the cable. If you are drilling in a damp or murky area, use a battery-operated drill in its place.
If you desire on site work and can keep a cool head around hefty equipment, becoming a tower crane machinist might just be your fantasy profession. Scheduling into the future can help you grasp your occupation objectives. To work as a hoist machinist, you will need to take trade school and finish an apprenticeship program with a certified machinist. After you've taken enough schooling and skill, you can then apply for a tower crane machinist authorization and work with building organizations.
Most construction-level professions do not need a college graduation, but you will need a high school certificate to gain tower crane authorization. Trade universities will offer learners with the practical awareness to work heavy equipment and basic building skills. You will learn how to read plans, set up construction resources, and check building codes. Typically, trade universities will take a few years to finish.
Although you will obtain much of your knowledge in a traineeship, you will want to finish a crane operation training package. Crane operator packages can be anywhere from more than a few weeks to more than a few months and includes learning security guidelines and crane machine upkeep. Once you have completed learning at a trade school and a generalized working program, get in touch with your local tower crane machinists to ask if you can be their intern. Internship will aid you gain on-the-job know-how and grow your understanding of construction work.
A spray paint device can make painting or discoloration relaxed and quicker, mainly if you have huge spaces or irregular planes to paint over. Nevertheless, it can give a number of problems; together with the risk that you may get paint on articles you didn't mean to paint. The crucial way to triumph with a paint spray machine is in correct groundwork, which comprises of choosing the right machine, formulating the paint, segregating the space to be painted and guarding the painter's airway.
Get some counsel from your paint dealer about the type of paint you need and whether you will need to mix it with water or paint thinner. The dealer should be capable to offer you with a thickness tester to aid you control whether your paint is thin enough to use in your spray paint machine.
Choose your nozzle, or tip, and pump pressure. In overall, tine nozzles and lesser pressures are preferable for thin paints such as stains or enamels. Big nozzles and high pressures are required for denser paints, such as wall paint.
Put down drip fabrics and use adhesive tape and elastic tarp to segregate the space you want to paint. Shield whatever you don't want coated. Using a spray paint machine sets a lot of paint drops in the air, which will float away and settle on articles nearby, as well as plant life, floors and cars if you are painting outside and on fixtures, ramparts and floorings in other quarters if painting inside.
Owning your own washing machine is a superb way to save time and cash doing dirty washing. Whether you own your own home or lease a flat, there may arise a time when you must install a washing machine. Still, mounting these appliances can be tough and daunting. Knowledge of how to connect the drainage system and set up your washing machine will have you doing your own laundry at home in no time.
Dependent on your living condition, you may be partial in your selections of places to put a washing machine. Nevertheless, you must try to find a place that will decrease the risk of uneven loads, leaks, and possible destruction to your machine or your home. It is also vital to have entree to hot and cold water, a sewer and an electrical channel that can back your washer and dryer.
Washing machines come in a variety of forms and dimensions, so you may need to get the ratio of yours to make sure it will fit correctly in the space you aim to put it. You must also take into consideration the doorways it must to pass through in order to reach its last endpoint. Keep in mind that you will need to measure the thickness as well as the distance of both the washing machine and the space you will put it to confirm a proper fit.
Flattening feet are the tiny legs below the appliance itself. These are modifiable and should be adjusted so that your washing machine will be as flat as conceivable. Turning leveling feet left to right will lower that angle of the washer and rotating them counter clockwise will elevate it. Place a carpenter's level on the top of the appliance, and then turn the feet located at the bottom of each corner as desired until the level imitates an even surface.
While you're in vocation school and up until your training period, work as an all-purpose workhand for a building company. Getting construction know-how early-on will help you get a good internship. Most all-purpose workhand spots do not need a high school diploma, so you can start at work while in school.
Hunt for jobs online or in your area news listing for tower crane worker careers. Direct your resume via email, and make sure to list your training programs and proper qualifications. A lot of construction businesses favor workers with more than a few years of know-how, so define any ventures you accomplished as an intern.
Once you have years of familiarity working as a tower crane machinist, you can apply for higher-level professions. So long as you save your accreditation, you can work as a manager or administrator. If wanted, you could even take on a trainee of your own.
Once you have gotten qualified, you will need to renew your permit every five years. Recertification for tower crane machinists is less rigorous: you will need to pass a test within an allotted time. Tower crane operatives who flop to renew their permit by its ending date will need to re-take the full physical, written, and hands-on assessments.
A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is a manuscript comprising of a list of information on how to perform a chore. A current SOP may need to just be adapted and modernized, or you may be in a situation where you have to transcribe one from out of nothing. It sounds intimidating, but it's really just a list.
There is no correct or erroneous way to write an SOP. Nevertheless, your business perhaps has a number of SOPs you can discuss to for organizing strategies, outlining how they have a preference it done. What it simmers down to is this: Are you the best individual to be writing this? Do you know what the procedure involves? How it could go off beam? How to make it safe? If not, you may be well off offering it over to somebody else. A poorly-written -- or, what's more, inaccurate -- SOP will not only decrease income and lead to managerial disappointments, but it can also be hazardous and have hostile influences on anything from your team to the environment. In short, it's not a danger you should take.
If you're writing or updating an SOP for a collection of persons that are acquainted with procedure, vocabulary, etc., and just would profit from a small and snippy SOP that's more like a list, you could just put pen to paper it in short-form.


Am I allowed to get a buzz from a new feature on my website?
I've just to the put the finishing touches to a brand new feature of Model Railway Engineer. And, it's one that takes me right back to my early days of model railways but also one that I hope you'll find very useful.
When I was a knee-high to a grasshopper, I'd spend my Saturday afternoons visiting my local model railway shop (Platform 1 in Wimbledon).
There, I'd scour the shelves for bargains that my meagre pocket money would allow. I'd end up picking through the scenery and tools display stand, where I'd spend contented hours closely examining shiny tools, mysterious oils and bag-after-bag of foam scatter and ballast.
Regular readers will know that the goal of this site is rooted in those early years. This is where I rekindle my childhood delight and a lifelong passion for model railways, where I experiment and test modelling and engineering and strive to help others to get started and create your own miniature worlds.
There are now hundreds of articles, tips and guides here to this end, 300 at the last count. And when talking about a specific tool, accessory or material I often link to where it can be purchased.
I hope this approach is helpful when you're looking for a guide on how to do or build something on the layout. But I appreciate that when you're subsequently in the middle of a doing it, or you have a go later, and realise you need a tool I've mentioned it's not so helpful.
I've now created my own incarnation of the tool shelf in Platform 1 I frequented as a child.
Here in my online model railway shop, you can quickly and easily find the tools and accessories that I've found useful and have tried and tested. And, yes, I get a buzz from looking at the pictures of the shiny tools on display.
But it's also got the advantages of being an online shop.
Everything is categorised by activity rather than an obscure name or make.
I don't know about you but if I want to check if the wheels on a wagon are the right distance apart I think in terms of rolling stock servicing and maintenance. I don't automatically think of something called a back-to-back gauge. Yes, it's the right name but that doesn't help if you don't know what it's called.
So if you're looking for tools for track laying just go to that section and you'll find the best tools I've found to help with this. Likewise, if your locomotive(s) need a service, you needn't remember the name of a particular lubricant I recommended. Click on servicing and maintenance and you'll see the most effective oils, greases and tools I've come across.
While hopefully, you're not on as restricted a budget as my tiny self was, I'm also very conscious that money is a real concern for most people so I've also picked the most value-for-money offerings and those with free next day delivery.
I hope you find it useful. If there are any tools you use and think others would find helpful, please let me know and I'll check them out and if agree list them too.
> Browse the Model Railway Engineer.com shop.
PS: I should add that as these are via Amazon and eBay the links are part of their affiliate scheme. This means that while the price to you doesn't change, I get a small commission which goes towards to the running and upkeep of this site.

Who Owns That
How the Electoral College works – and how it affected battleground states in 2020
Critics say the Electoral College process puts too much emphasis on swing states and negates the popular vote.
George Petras and Janet Loehrke, USA TODAY
Published 2:43 pm UTC Nov. 5, 2020 Updated 8:05 pm UTC Dec. 14, 2020
Though Americans choose most of their elected officials by popular vote, the selection of a U.S. president is not as direct.
The presidency is decided by vote of the Electoral College, a temporary slate of 538 electors, all chosen by their state political parties. Each elector casts one vote; a presidential candidate needs 270 of these votes to win.
The process has faced mounting criticism, starting in the controversial 2000 presidential election, in which Republican George W. Bush defeated Democrat Al Gore, despite having lost the popular vote.
President Donald Trump also lost the popular vote while winning the Electoral College to defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Now that Joe Biden has won Pennsylvania, and the Presidency, all eyes are on the Electoral College. This is how it works, and how it will come into play in the 2020 race:
How the Electoral College voted
Nearly six weeks after Americans voted Joe Biden the next president, the Electoral College is meeting Monday, December 14, and their votes will almost certainly make President Donald Trump's electoral loss official. Here's a look at the Electoral College results so far:
Number of Electoral College votes by state
Number of electors varies by state
The number of electors are based on a state's congressional representation. For example –
Political parties choose the electors, who pledge to vote for their party's candidate. Members of Congress and high-level federal employees are barred from being electors.
Breakdown of the Electoral College
Nov. 3: Election Day
The public casts ballots for presidential and vice presidential candidates. Though most ballots have only candidate names, voters actually choose groups of electors.
The candidate with the most overall popular votes gets all the electors. The exception: Maine and Nebraska, which can split electors among candidates.
Dec. 14: Electors cast ballots
Electors meet in their respective state capitals and vote. The results are sealed and sent to the president of the U.S. Senate – currently Vice President Mike Pence.
Jan. 3, 2021: New Congress is seated
Newly elected and current members of Congress are officially seated.
Jan. 6: Electoral votes are counted
Members of the House and Senate meet jointly for a formal count of electoral votes. The candidate with 270 votes is declared the winner.
Jan. 20: Inauguration Day
The winning presidential and vice presidential candidates take the oath of office.
The Electoral College has critics...
In recent years, the National Popular Vote movement has sought to replace the Electoral College, preferring the popular vote to choose presidents.
Detractors say the system has become more flawed because candidates can win the popular vote but still lose in the Electoral College.
This has happened five times in American history, most recently in Bush vs. Gore in 2000 and Trump vs. Clinton in 2016. It could happen again this year.
Critics claim it favors small-population states over larger ones and forces presidential campaigns to focus too heavily on battleground states or states that are possible wins for either party.
A Gallup poll in September showed 61% of American favored getting rid of the Electoral College.
...and supporters
The Electoral College as we know it has been part of American politics since 1804. Supporters say it's essential.
"The Electoral College was designed by the framers deliberately, like the rest of the Constitution, to counteract the worst human impulses and protect the nation from the dangers inherent in democracy," noted National Affairs in its fall 2020 edition.
Battleground states in 2020
Do electors have to vote for their party's candidate?
They're expected to, but sometimes don't. "Faithless" electors have broken rank and voted for someone other than their candidate. Fairvote.org says 90 electors have cast "deviant" votes in the past 58 presidential elections. None affected the outcome.
Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia have laws that mandate electors vote in accordance with the popular vote. The Supreme Court ruled July 6 that states can punish faithless electors who go rogue.
What happens if there's a tie?
It's possible, but extremely unlikely, that the Electoral College could deadlock 269-269. In that case, the newly elected House would vote on who becomes president. Each state gets one vote; 26 votes are needed to win. The Senate would decide who becomes vice president.

Q: apache mod_headers custom header Folks,
  Trying to add a custom header with mod_headers.  Need to set the 'Date' Header for AWS S3 via mod_headers.  I am trying to do the following in the apache config:
RequestHeader add Authorization "AWS AWSAccessKeyId:Signature"
RequestHeader set Date "%{DATE_GMT}e"

Its not working , and im trying to find out why.  I've setup logging (for testing) as
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b %{Date}i %{Authorization}i" common

Any help would be greatly appreciated! At the end of the day, I would like to have a Date: Header added in the following format:

Just change RequestHeader by Header and see how it goes.


You've probably seen this already, but just in case you missed, it, here's Tim Cook's open letter to Apple's customers regarding the FBI's demand that they create a "backdoor" that would compromise the iPhone's encryption so that they can access what they believe to be valuable information about the San Bernardino terrorist attack and the terrorists themselves on an iPhone 5c that was recovered after the tragedy occurred.
Not that my personal opinion matters, but I 100% support Apple's decision to refuse and to fight this demand. A backdoor like this can't exist in a vacuum, once it exists at all. Once rung, a bell can't be unrung.
The letter is here: https://www.apple.com/customer-letter/ and I've pasted it below for your convenience.
Bad things happen when you don't fully understand the implications of adding/moving/replacing/deleting fonts on your Mac.
Yes, that San Francisco font is pretty and you may prefer it over Helvetica Neue, but if you are bad at following the directions you found on that random site on the Internet, this is what happens.
This is an easy one. The scammers put no effort at all into hiding their nefarious intentions.
I'm confident none of you would ever fall for this! But someone will. And if they click on the link, they'll arrive at a page that looks very similar to Paypal's own website. But it's not. And they'll attempt to login to their own Paypal account. But when they submit their username and password, they won't be logged in. Instead, they'll have just given their credentials over to the scammers, who will surely use it for evil, not good.
If you receive an email that pretends to be from Paypal, but isn't, please report it to Paypal's Fraud Department. Then delete the email and move on with your day, after patting yourself on the back for refusing to be fooled.
With rare exception, current generation Apple laptops can't be upgraded – or even repaired after accidental damage – in any meaningful or easy way after purchase. That's the tradeoff we've made for wanting our Macs to be thinner, lighter and sleeker. To accomplish that, displays are fused to the glass, proprietary Solid State Drives (SSDs) store all our files, RAM (memory chips) is soldered directly to the logic board and even the batteries are glued to the case. This trend started with the original MacBook Air and through the introduction of the MacBook Pro with Retina Display and it's now the rule, rather than the exception.
And yet, as recently as the 2009 Macworld Expo, Steve Jobs himself said, "Our pro customers want accessibility: […] to add memory, to add cards, to add drives." He was introducing the "Unibody" MacBook Pro that day. And he was right!
If you still have one of those Unibody MacBook Pros, made between Early-2009 and Mid-2012 (or an older 2006-2008 Aluminum model), you're probably struggling to keep up with the demands of newer operating systems and newer technologies on the web, etc. Your computer is slow. Just watching a YouTube video can be a chore. The machine drags, the fans start racing, your super-fast Internet connection feels wasted because the video may download fast, but the playback is still choppy and the audio stutters. But you have a distinct advantage over owners of newer MacBook Pros because you can install a few hardware upgrades and make your 6/7/8 year old Mac perform almost as well as a new one, for only a fraction of the cost.
Upgrading your RAM to the maximum it will support (8GB-16GB, depending on the exact model) will cost you an average of $75-$150 for the RAM itself. It's not even difficult to install on your own and the tools you'll need to pop the bottom case off for installation aren't expensive either. But the real life-changer will be replacing your internal storage (which is probably a 5400RPM platter-based hard drive) with an SSD/Flash drive. For under $500 you upgrade up to a 1TB SSD that will really make your Mac fly. While replacing your hard drive is almost as simple as installing RAM, I'd still recommend professional installation since there's a bit more to it than just popping the old drive out and the new one in. There are more screws and more steps and more things that can go wrong. Although you'll pay an average of $150-$200 to have a professional take care of this for you, it's worth it for the peace of mind. And the end result is that for about $800, tops, you can have your older MacBook Pro performing almost as well as a new $2500 model. Both the battery and the Superdrive can also be replaced if you've got a few more $$ to spend.
Laurie, you are the best! My Mac runs like a Ferrari now! I want to see if I can get it to run for ten more years!

I was setting up a new iPhone 6s for a client today and I noticed something strange… After restoring from the iTunes backup of her "old" iPhone and activating her SIM card, I went to test that the Phone and Messages apps were working as expected. So I opened the Phone app on her iPhone, tapped on Contacts and started typing MY name so that I could make a test call to myself from her phone. But searching came up with 0 results, even when I just typed the letter "L." So I went back to the Home Screen and opened up the full Contacts app and tried searching for myself from there. Again, no results. Typing any letter at all still gave no results, but I could clearly see there were hundreds of contacts there in the list (including me).
My first thought was that something was corrupt in the backup I restored the new phone from, which was an older iPhone, still running iOS 7.x. Still, I went through some standard troubleshooting steps before I did anything drastic like restoring the phone to factory settings and manually reconfiguring everything. First, I rebooted the phone. That didn't work. Then I added a new contact and searched for it. That didn't work. I was on the verge of trying "Reset All Settings" to see if that helped, but I knew the client really didn't have the time for me to go through and adjust all her settings back the way she likes them. So I decided to ignore the issue for the moment and test the phone by calling it instead of having it call me. So I grabbed my own iPhone (also a 6s, which I updated to iOS9.1 last night) and searched for my client's name and – you guessed it – no results!
Then click the word "Done" in the upper right corner, which will take you back to the main Contacts list.
That's it. No need to check any groups on or off, since the groups you want to see contacts from should already be set the way you've always had them. Although if they're not, go ahead and make your adjustments while you're there.
If you're seeing the same bug and this fix doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll offer some other suggestions!
Even when an email looks slick, there are always signs that it's bogus. Do not click any links in these emails. Just delete them and move on with your day. If you want to report the phishing attempt, contact the company that's being misrepresented. In this case, you'd want to report it to Amazon.
Get 'em while they're hot. BUT, if you don't already have El Capitan installed (or iOS 9 installed), there may be a good reason why you shouldn't, so don't just go installing a new OS without chatting with me about it first. This round of bug fixes is welcome and appreciated, but there are still some issues on both OS X and iOS that could make your life harder instead of easier. When in doubt, ask me before installing new operating systems.
"Includes new features, improvements and bug fixes, including…" You've heard about the new middle finger emoji, right? Well there's taco emoji too!
"Contains new emoji characters, performance improvements, and bug fixes, including…" What do you mean you don't even have an Apple watch yet??
Ars Technica posted yesterday about an issue that many of my clients have been and/or will be plagued by: Those nasty, scary-looking "CRITICAL SECURITY ALERT" pop-up ads that take over your web browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc) in order to get you to call some toll-free phone number so that they can save you from the horrible virus/trojan/malware that's infected your system. If you call the number, the scammers will usually tell you that your computer is infected in some way and you're at great risk. They'll use frightening words like Virus! Trojan! Malware! Spyware! Infected! Firewall! Malicious attack! Security compromised! Danger! Risk! But really, the only thing you're at risk of at this point is of being scammed and the only danger is to your credit card.
Most of the time, the scammers will tell you that they need remote access to your computer so they can show you "proof!" that your computer has been compromised. And if you agree to that they'll direct you to a LogMeIn Rescue or TeamViewer or GoToMyPC page where you'll download a small piece of software that will grant them access to view and control your computer (unfortunately often using the same software that *I* use for legitimate purposes to provide remote support). Once they have access they'll open up the Terminal app on your computer and type in some commands that you won't understand and they'll show you the output, which will look very scary and official and technical. At that point they'll tell you that they can help! They can fix this mess for you! They can clean up all the horrible things that have infiltrated your system and make sure it stays clean and healthy from this day forward… all for the low price of $199 (or similar number). Billed yearly for your convenience. You'll be so worried that it won't take much convincing and you'll gladly read off your credit card number to them because they are doing you a great favor and you want these bugs eradicated.
Some of you have already fallen for this. That's ok. You're only human and these scammers really are very convincing. If I've been made aware of it after the fact, I've already helped you get the credit card charges reversed and cleaned your system of all the nasty bits the scammers leave behind (bloated and mostly unnecessary antivirus programs and spyware of their own, for example). Most of you have been suspicious enough to call me before calling them and I've been able to help you get rid of the obstructive pop-up and regain use of your computer without the scammy ad continuing to re-open, effectively preventing you from doing much else.
Force quit Safari to get rid of the ad (Apple menu > Force Quit > select Safari in the list > click the Force Quit button at the bottom of that window).
When you re-open Safari, do so while holding down the SHIFT key on the left side of your keyboard. That will prevent any windows from re-opening in Safari when it opens.
Then you can go to the File menu in Safari (upper left of the menubar) and select New Window to begin a new browsing session. If you're still concerned that you might have clicked something nefarious earlier, are seeing other suspicious behavior or these tips aren't working for you, get in touch and we'll schedule a checkup and a malware and security audit. And if you want to be a good Netizen, consider reporting the scam to the FTC.
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4. You'll see that your cursor changes to a crosshair pointer.
Drag to select an area. To adjust the area, hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag.
When you've selected the area you want, release your mouse or trackpad button. Or to cancel, press Escape (esc).
In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as .png files on the desktop. They're automatically named "Screen Shot (date and time).png." You can open these screenshots with Preview or other image editing apps.
You can capture the screen on your iOS device using the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top or side of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then immediately press and release the Home button. You'll find the screenshot in your Photos app.
Enable or Disable services as desired.
Anything enabled here will SYNC with the same relative sections of google.com and/or any computer that's connected to the same account.
Notes is optional and should be disabled if you're already using iCloud Notes. Enable it here if you'd rather have your Notes synced through your Google account instead.
Tap SAVE when you're done.
Now enter a more meaningful and easily identifiable name in the Description field.
The Description field is what shows (only to you) in your list off Accounts in Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Since people often have multiple accounts listed there, it's helpful to identify them for easy reference, other you end up with multiple accounts just called "Gmail" even they they are all different addresses.
Most people will benefit by using the actual email address for the description instead of the default description for any given account.

Home Cars FEBRUARY 11, 2014 (MY FAVORITE RIDE) : 1967 PONTIAC BEAUMONT CUSTOM-THIS ONE'S...
FEBRUARY 11, 2014 (MY FAVORITE RIDE) : 1967 PONTIAC BEAUMONT CUSTOM-THIS ONE'S IN THE BLOOD
Gerry Paquette is the ultimate Pontiac car guy.
He's a parts catalog on two legs when he's at a show and he applies the the same attention to detail as a parts manager.
Gerry's fondness for all things Poncho goes back several decades but he has a particular fondness for Canadian cars like the Beaumont, so he's the proud owner of a '67 Pontiac Beaumont.
Canadians are well aware of the Beaumonts because they were the equivalent of the Chevelle and they were a very popular alternative to their Chevy cousins.
Gerry explained his attachment to these unique cars, "My love for Beaumonts dates back to Dec of 1966 when I purchased a brand new white-with-a-blue-interior Beaumont 2dr custom 327 4sp bench seat car, off the truck, I was living in northern Saskatchewan at the time and have a lot of memories from that time, some good some bad but I choose to only remember the good ones therefore my passion to own another 67 Beaumont, but being young and foolish I had to sell it and as life goes on, marriage kids etc! finally in 2003 is when I purchased the blue one, which is quite a story in itself".
Gerry had been through a few Beaumont relationships after his first one, "I already had a 1967 Beamont that I'd had for 3 years but it was time to redo it or buy something else. While I owned the blue 67, I had found a Beaumont site called Classic Canadian Beaumonts formerly Kens Klassic Kars that is no longer operational and from there I had purchased a couple of consoles from a Tom Curran and after the Super Run 2006 in Red Deer-that's when I decided to look or fix the blue one".
Gerry's yellow '67 Beaumont nearly fell into his lap,"Tom had put an ad on the site for Daryl saying that a friend of his was selling his '67 Beaumont and listed the options. I sent Tom an email telling him that I might be interested and if he gave his buddy my email address I would love to look at it".
The hook was set immediately but Gerry was up against logistics,"The next day Daryl sent me the story on the car with a bunch of pictures and I was hooked, but my problem was I am in Red Deer and he's in Port Alberni, Sept and Oct is a very busy time of the year for me so how was not the problem but when was I going to get out there to have a look before buying".
The car gods were smiling on Gerry, "I showed the pictures to one of our mechanics and when he found out it was in Port he told me that wasn't a problem because he was going to the island the next week and he would go and inspect the car and if it was good he would bring it back for me. Garnett went and looked at the car and phoned me and told me it was a very nice car and my response was, 'I hope so because I already sent Daryl the money".
The puzzle came together fast, "We rented a trailer out of Nanaimo, they loaded it up and Garnett brought it back to me, I am forever grateful to him for that.The odometer read 166,295 when I purchased it from Daryl and now has 170,600 miles".
Gerry's career revolves around detail so he is well-acquainted with the history of his '67 Beaumont, "This 1967 Beaumont Custom was purchased by Tom Harding from Trapp Motors Ltd in New Westminster BC. From the records that I have Mr Hardman drove the car for 157316 miles when there was an engine rebuilt done Nov of 1984 by Dave's Auto Repair in Langley BC".
Gerry is an expert so the details laid out for him,"The original engine was not rebuildable so Mr Harding found a replacement 327 block ( I decoded it and it's a 1969 big journal 327). Also in 1984 Mr Harding bought 2 new GM fenders but according to the records the body and complete paint job was done late Jan 1990 at 162204 miles by Sunshine Auto Body in Langley BC. This is still the same paint job today".
The paper trail is almost perfect, "Tom Harding kept a little book of records for all the work that was done on the car and according to his records the vinyl roof was replaced in 1992 but I do not have that invoice".
The back story for the car is like a script for a TV show, "The story that I have from Daryl was that the car sat in Mr Harding's Rec Room for about 15 years which I would love to verify. Denise Gronlund, Tom Harding's daughter according to the story had to knock a wall down to remove the car from the rec room. The phone number I had for Denise is no longer in service and I have Googled it but to no avail".
The reason for the sale was pretty basic but it does have a little Hollywood flair,"Daryl's story is that Denise Gronlund married her daughter in the car (the yellow pompom is still hanging from the mirror) and the newlyweds were moving to an island that did not require an automobile so she put it up for sale, but first offered it to Jay Leno I do have that letter, but although he was aware of Beaumonts he didn't have an interest in it at that time.My quest to find Denise Gronlund shall continue so I can get the rest of the story".
Gerry was the final actor in the story, "Daryl Auger bought the car from Denise Gronlund but due to circumstances in Port Alberni he had to sell it".
Gerry's a meticulous guy but the Poncho has been very easy to maintain,"I have done very little to the car except some mechanical work, replaced the upper ball control arm shaft and bushings. Added a r/h rear view mirror and reinstalled an original equipment mirror on the left hand side and had the hole made by a jobber mirror filled in and he did a superb job, you can't even tell and like I mentioned before the paint job was done in 1990".
He's added a few more options to stake his name on the car, "I've also added a rear speaker with reverb and a rear window defogger because I had those in my original 67. Although I did not have bumper guards on my original I've added the front ones, OEM GM and I'm in the process of adding the rear bumper guards".
This Beaumont is far from a trailer queen, "I drive the car as often as I can when the weather in nice, and hardly miss the Thursday night get together, that is a wonderful thing that Dave has done and it's a privilege to be able to attend".
Road trips are part of the program for Gerry and they do add to the old car adventure ,"The first long trip that the car took after I owned it was to Radium in September 2009, that was a lot of fun except my alternator quit charging. I had modified it to an internal regulator just before the trip and after we stopped for lunch in Canmore, filled up with gas and hit the highway again my gen light came on but being a good old car all it needs is a good battery and hope the alternator doesn't seize up (not like the newer ones no alt –no power- no go) we can carry on".
Gerry took a little heat from his car buddies,"We stopped at a site where there was beautiful water falls (can't remember the name of it), the only problem I run into is when I mentioned it to the crew I was with, my Ford buddy had a hay day but we made it to Radium with no problem, the only thing is I had to go and purchase a NAPA alternator, what a blow".
Gerry has modest, but realistic goals for the Poncho, "I want to keep the car as original as possible although I want to add disc brakes to the front because in this day and age we need some good whoa when driving in this and any other city. The car is what it is and I would like to keep it that way. I get a lot of good positive feedback on the car, like Man that's a nice car, where does it come from etc etc. As far as this car it's a lifer unless I find my original car then it would be open for debate maybe".
That statement underscores how Gerry is the eternal optimist so he's still holding our hope for a reunion with his beloved car, "I am still looking for my original car of which I have the serial # and GM Documentation, and if anyone can help me out with that one it would be super".
Gerry is a typical car guy so there's always more room for an addition to the family so he ends the story on a familiar note.
"I just need one more car besides this one and that's a 1964 Pontiac Custom Sport convertible 327 Powerglide just because…"

Three things we learned from Man City 3-0 West Brom
15 points clear at the top and a few more lessons from another win
By Sam Cooper@samcooper07 Feb 2, 2018, 3:00am GMT
Share All sharing options for: Three things we learned from Man City 3-0 West Brom

1 - Fernandinho is not just a defensive player
A clever run was matched by a neat finish from the Brazilian to prove that in a Pep Guardiola side, no defensive midfielder is just a defensive midfielder. The Manchester City faithful are used to long range efforts from the Brazilian but this goal shows he knows a thing or two about when to make the right run and how to finish.
Fernandinho is one of the players who's improved the most under Pep, and he's become one of the most complete midfielders in the Premier League.
2 - The £60 million signing of Riyad Mahrez would have been overkill
The sheer swarm of attacking City players when countering and the quality that they each possess show that another attacker in the form of Mahrez is not needed. With Leroy Sané injured and a bottomless pit of money, it was certainly tempting for Pep to go after the Leicester City player, but the reality is that City don't need him. They have plenty of attackers available and the non-signing of Mahrez may allow youngsters like Bernardo Silva, Lukas Nmecha and others some minutes.
3 - City are on course to be the earliest Premier League champions ever
With City winning and Manchester United losing on Wednesday, the blue side of Manchester are now on course to become the earliest Champions in the Premier League Era. Calculated from the team's projected points if they maintain similar form, City could win the title with a victory in the next Manchester Derby at the Etihad in early April. That would be fun, right?!

What is Q Fever?
Q fever is caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. First recognised in Australia in the 1930s when workers at a Brisbane meat processor became sick with a fever, it was called 'Query' fever as the cause of the illness was unknown; this was later shortened to Q fever. The bacterium survives well in air, soil, water and dust and can also be spread on fomites such as wool, hides, clothing, straw and packing materials. C. burnetii has been weaponised and is considered a Category B biothreat agent.
Humans acquire Q fever from animals (domestic and wild) which are infected, sometimes without any apparent symptoms. Q fever can be acute or chronic causing potentially long-term consequences. Acute Q fever has an incubation period of 2 to 3 ½ weeks but this can range from 4 days to 6 weeks. Symptoms include rapid onset of high fever, rigors, profuse sweats, extreme fatigue, muscle and joint pain, severe headaches and photophobia (sensitivity to light). As the disease progresses individuals usually have evidence of hepatitis, sometimes with obvious jaundice, and a proportion of individuals develop pneumonia which is usually mild, but can necessitate mechanical ventilation. Rarely, neurological complications can ensue such as meningitis and encephalitis. If left untreated the illness will last for 1 to 3 weeks and may be accompanied by substantial weight loss.
The most common chronic manifestation caused by C. burnetiiis subacute endocarditis, which might not become obvious for 5 years. Less common presentations include granulomatous lesions in bones, joints, liver, lung, testes and soft tissues. In about 10 to 15 % of individuals, post-Q fever fatigue syndrome (QFS) is a late onset outcome of infection.
Q fever occurs almost everywhere in the world. In Australia, cattle, sheep and goats are the main reservoir although it can also be found in bandicoots, kangaroos and dogs.
The risk of contracting Q fever among Australian meat workers has been estimated to be 1 in 300 unvaccinated workers per year. There are approximately 600 Q fever cases in Australia each year, of which around 300 occur in Queensland. Q fever is a serious infectious disease that can cause severe complications such as extreme fatigue, or heart and liver damage. An uncomplicated Q fever case is estimated to cost around $7000 to treat, with 2 to 4 weeks of sick leave expected. Around 20% of cases are more severe, leading to long-term complications requiring up to 6 months of sick leave.
Those at risk are mostly workers from the livestock and meat industries, such as abattoir workers, farm workers, livestock transport workers and also veterinarians and visitors to areas of risk.
What is Q Fever Vaccination?
There is an effective vaccine against Q fever; however it can have severe side effects in persons who have already had the disease.
Before vaccination a person must have a: 1. Blood test 2. Skin test 3. Detailed history taken
These tests are undertaken to avoid unwanted vaccine side-effects and if any of them are positive it is likely the individual would react badly to the vaccine.
The blood and skin test must be done on the same day and the person must return to the doctor 7 days later to have the skin test read.
If both blood and skin test are negative, the person can be vaccinated. The vaccine then takes around 2 weeks to become effective and the individual must not visit an abattoir during this time.
For adults and adolescents aged 15 years and over, 0.5 ml of Q fever vaccine is given by sub-cutaneous injection (assuming both blood and skin tests are negative).
The vaccine is believed to be long-lasting (in excess of 5 years). Until further information becomes available, revaccination or boosters doses are not recommended.
Up to 50% of those vaccinated will have local tenderness, redness and swelling at the injection site.
In around 10% of vaccine recipient's side effects will include mild influenza-like symptoms, such as headache, fever, chills and minor sweating.
Skin reactions such as redness are common 3 to 4 days after skin testing, however these generally resolve by day 7 when the skin test is read.
A very rare side effect in individuals (mainly women) who were skin and anti-body test-negative at the time of vaccination and did not have an immediate reaction after vaccination, is some 1 to 8 months later a hardened skin lesion develops at the inoculation site. The site of the original skin test may also become positive, presumed to be as a result of a late developing immune response. The lesions do not worsen or evolve into an abscess: they gradually reduce in size and disappear over a period of some months without treatment.
Note: People who have been vaccinated against Q fever should be encouraged to be placed on the QFever register, which holds copies of all Q fever vaccination records (if individuals wish to be included). Each person registered will receive a vaccination card from the Register and this can be presented to prospective/current employers.
More information on Q Fever is available during your pre-travel consultation with Travelvax.

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Alex Collins on injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.
Collins, who is dealing with a foot injury, was listed as questionable on the Week 13 injury report.
The running back practice in full on Friday after sitting out Wednesday's practice and being limited Thursday.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero notes Collins' foot will not require surgery, and the transaction is a way to give him more time to recover from the sprain. Collins should be fine by March when he'll be a restricted free agent, Pelissero adds.
In a corresponding move, the Ravens activated running back Kenneth Dixon from injured reserve. He was placed on IR in mid-September due to a knee injury.

Click here for PDF - Notice: Nomination for a Port User-Nominated Director Position
NOMINATION FOR A PORT USER-NOMINATED DIRECTOR POSITION, ST. JOHN'S PORT AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The St. John's Port Authority (SJPA) is a financially self-sufficient Federal agency which derives all revenues solely from operations and reinvests all earnings into Port infrastructure and operations. As a result of the SJPA's effective stewardship of the Port's infrastructure, and the invaluable endeavours of the Port User community, the Port of St. John's has an estimated economic impact on the Province of $397 million per annum, with an associated 3,890 direct and indirect jobs.
In 2019, the SJPA paid $301,056 to the City of St. John's as payment in lieu of taxes; and $173,906 to the Federal Government as a charge on gross revenues. It also donates 0.5% of its annual Operating Income – approximately $40,000 per year – to a Community Investment programme in partnership with the United Way of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Pursuant to Section 14 (1) (d) of the Canada Marine Act, the Governor-in-Council (the Federal Cabinet) appoints individuals to serve on the Board of Directors of the SJPA. These Directors may be chosen from individuals who have been nominated by the Minister of Transport (the "Minister") in consultation with the classes of Commercial Port Users as outlined in the SJPA's Letters Patent. Further, pursuant to Section 4.19 of the Letters Patent, the Minister, in consultation with Users, shall at all times have the flexibility and discretion to nominate as Directors persons other than those persons nominated by the classes of Port Users in order to ensure an appropriate mix of Directors at all times.
There is currently a vacant user-nominated position on the Board of Directors and eligible members of the Class A Port Users may now submit nominations of candidates for this position. The relevant sections of the Canada Marine Act which pertain to the qualifications required of prospective Directors are as follows:
S. 15(2) "The directors of a port authority appointed under paragraph 14(1)(d) shall have generally acknowledged and accepted stature within the transportation industry or the business community and relevant knowledge and extensive experience related to the management of a business, to the operation of a port or to maritime trade."
S.16 "The following individuals may not be directors of a port authority:
(a)	an individual who is a mayor, councillor, officer or employee of a municipality mentioned in the letters patent;
(b)	an individual who is a member of the legislature of a province, or an officer or employee of the public service or of a Crown corporation of a province, mentioned in the letters patent;
(c)	a Senator or a member of the House of Commons;
(c.1)	an officer or employee of the federal public administration, a federal Crown corporation or a port authority;
(d)	an individual who is not a resident Canadian, as defined in subsection 2(1) of the Canada Business Corporations Act;
(e)	an individual who is a director, officer or employee of a person who is a user of the port;
(f)	an individual who is under eighteen years of age;
(g)	an individual who has been declared mentally incompetent by a court in Canada or elsewhere; or
(h)	an undischarged bankrupt."
S.22 (1) "Every director and officer of a port authority shall, in exercising powers and discharging duties,
(a)	act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the port authority; and
(b)	exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances."
In addition to the foregoing mandatory legislation, the SJPA also issues annual non-binding guidance as to the range of skills and expertise generally required on the Board; with those specifically desired at this time as indicated:
- Marine Transportation
- Petroleum Industry
- Environmental Affairs
- Fishing Industry
Directors are also required to adhere to the SJPA's Code of Conduct; as well as to the Conflict of Interest Act and the Ethical and Political Activity Guidelines for Public Office Holders.
Finally, it is the Federal Government's policy goal that appointments be of high quality and that the process be:
Open and transparent;
Merit-based; and
Gender equal and reflective of Canada's diversity.
Should you be interested in the current vacancy, please forward your resume to the undersigned by October 1, 2020; following which it will be sent to the Class A Port Users for consideration:

Pierre-Luc, Julia and Eliane are eyelid, young Quebec trio. Who from the top of their twenty years, draw their inspiration in their nocturnal ballads, and their compatriots - Arcade Fire, Peter Peter - in Eli and Jacno synths and the fumes of psychedelic music. Eyelid dream eyes wide open both naïve and deep, light and powerful, pop music sung in a french that belongs to them. Eyelid: a boy, two girls, so many possibilities.
Their writing skin-deep puts at the service of the melody: melody and its repetition, the melody and his remembrance. The eyelid songs are filled with these small tart ritornellos that rotate and are anchored in the memoirs.
Eyelid seems to invoke in their music and love Alchemy a liberation, a paradigm shift. "Through my eyes / I perceive the universe / in another way. Lower eyelids, in dancing or listening, it's so let the world follow his race, let it be. And this could be a generational motto: close your eyes, you can see much better.

Q: Cant Create folder with full permission on ubuntu 14.04 I having a weird problem on my VPS with Ubuntu 14.04 as the server. I tried creating a directory with php mkdir using the code below
<?php
    mkdir("/items/foldername", 0777, true);
?>

Whenever i run this script,the folder gets created but with 755 permission instead of 777.
I have tried all available options I can see none is working. My php script is using www-data.
I have tried the following

*

*sudo chmod -R 777 items

*sudo chmod -R g+s items

*I added www-data to the root group

A: From this SO answer:

You can use umask() immediately before the fopen() call, but umask
  shouldn't be used if you're on a multi-threaded server - it'll change
  the mask for ALL threads (e.g. this change is at the process level),
  not just the one that you're about to use fopen() in.
e.g.
$old = umask(000);
fopen('foo.txt', 'w'); // creates a 0666 file
umask($old) // restore original mask

It'd be easier to simply chmod() after the fact, however:
fopen('foo.txt', 'w'); // create a mode 'who cares?' file
chmod('foo.txt', 0666); // set it to 0666

It just dawned on me... that was our LAST Friday Night Hangout.
Well, the Friday portion... but we'll keep the conversation going with our team and you as we move to the Sunday afternoon.
You'll find our list of #appcoliseum suggestions here, and our #tipoftheweek here.


The KAFD Butterfly Dome is one of the public attractors in the new King Abdulla Financial District in Riad/Saudi Arabia. The project will house a tropical rain forest inhabited by butterflies. The Butterfly House has the shape of a sphere that is cut at two thirds of if its height. The layout of the structure consists of quadrilateral cells forming an orthogonal grid structure. The exterior skin is formed by planar quad double glazing elements.
The primary structure is formed by Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) providing direct support to the glazing units. The members are fully fixed at their node points in order to form a shell type structure.


Dwayne Farr took 7th at the High Desert Road Race in Bend OR and 5th at the Oregon State Road Race Champs the last 2 weekends. Still itching for that W, but looking super sharp for Elite Nationals coming up this week.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang
Title: The Heart Principle
Author: Helen Hoang
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
Readership: Adult
Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance
Content warnings: Illness/death of parent, cancer, toxic families/relationships, burnout, caring for the sick/carer burnout
I received a copy of The Heart Principle from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A woman struggling with burnout learns to embrace the unexpected – and the man she enlists to help her – in this heartfelt new romance by the bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient, Helen Hoang.
When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment. And when her long-time boyfriend announces that he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. Translation: She's going to embark on a string of one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better.
That's where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex-he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just begun to understand.
However, when tragedy strikes Anna's family, she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that they also have to fight for themselves.
Helen Hoang has been a fan favourite since her debut book The Kiss Quotient came out a few years back. I'm always wary of hyped books (mostly because I always think I'm going to be the one person who doesn't love it as much as everyone else), but when I picked up Helen's books this year I immediately fell in love with her writing style and kicked myself for not picking them up sooner. To be able to read and review The Heart Principle is honestly a highlight for my year. It's not an easy read, it deals with difficult and confronting topics, but it's so good.
Anna Sun accidentally stumbled into fame when a Youtube video of her playing the violin goes viral, and ever since she's struggled to be everything other people expect her to be to the point of being physically incapable of doing what she loves. She's in therapy, trying to keep her family and their expectations of her at bay, and on top of all of it, her boyfriend wants an open relationship. In an effort to combat the hurt and anger she feels (at herself and the others around her), she joins a dating app and ends up meeting Quan Diep, although their first, second and third meetings don't quite go according to plan. But when Anna's father falls ill, she's forced to take on responsibilities she never wanted and it puts increasing pressure on her relationship with Quan.
This book is, first and foremost, Anna's story – which places it firmly in the contemporary fiction genre, with a heavy romance side plot. Which is not a bad thing, but definitely something to consider before picking it up, especially if you're expecting a romance just like The Kiss Quotient. One thing I really appreciate about Helen's books is that they're all different and explore aspects of her experiences. She was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and each of her books feature characters who exist along that spectrum (Anna, in this book), but she's also shared aspects of her culture and her family's culture, too, which makes for very powerful stories. I don't always read author's notes in books, but I always read hers because they always give a lot of context.
While we do get Quan's story and parts of the book are told from his POV, we spend the majority of the time in Anna's POV. This is a book about her discovering her diagnosis, of dealing with the ramifications of that and matching her behaviours and becoming aware of exactly what that means to her (particularly burnout). She has a complicated relationship with her family, exacerbated when her father falls ill and everyone expects her to step up into the role of carer, which brings with it even more complications. Meanwhile, she's trying to navigate her new relationship with Quan, who she really likes and trusts but struggles to communicate effectively with while dealing with her burnout.
Quan is dealing with recovering from cancer treatment, as well as navigating the future direction of the clothing company he runs with Michael (and yes, there are plenty of Michael cameos in this book!). He's immediately drawn to Anna and despite the fact that their timing is never right for their 'one and done' hookup, they become friends and confidants and he begins to fall for her. He's a gorgeous character – one who accepts people for who they are, but even he struggles with the pressures that Anna (and by extension, himself, too) is under.
The entire story is gut-punch of emotions, from some truly happy moments to the lowest of lows and a lot of it resonated with me for lots of different reasons. Helen Hoang is definitely an auto buy author for me now – I'll read anything she writes without question, because she deals in big issues, real-life and diversity without it feeling like it's forced. These characters and their stories feel like real people dealing with their real life struggles and it's beautifully handled.
