Re: Which is worse?
Im glad that I am not the only one who has noticed that the legal system in Swindon is right up the creek, these two are a brilliant example, but look also at the hgv driver who was pulled on the m4, high on drugs, what did he get, almost zilch.. and so it goes on, Mr Ross defends these morons every day, and makes a living out of it, and they walk away scott free almost..
I wonder what that judge would have said if the lad hit with the hammer, was his son...
The answer to your question Spunks would depend upon whether you're a judge, who knows that there are next to no available places in prison to start with, who knows that instead of being rehabilitated, if he does give him a custodial, he'll come out more brutalised, unemployable, crime-trained and likely to re-offend....
...or...
if you're a zealous SBC employee who knows that a successful prosecution and costs pays for your salary and justifies you continuing to draw a salary to continue doing the same thing.
I don't actually have a problem with the punishment for the arrogant litterer - but the first story is just another example as to how the law is no longer acting as any form of deterrence or cure.

Did I read this correctly, was a great chunk of the litter bug's fine for refusing to give details to a council warden?
Cos if that realy is the case then I'd better get the cheque book out now. I know one thing for absolutely sure - any Council Warden who stops me in the street and asks my mane and address will get 2 words and the second is OFF.

Neither do I, but the system needs to be fair and the punishments proportional to the crime. We seem to have a system where dropping litter, putting your recycling in the wrong box, smoking in public, or doing 35mph in a 30mph zone attract larger fines and penalties than violent crimes which result in a warning and a second chance.
I understand that judges hands are tied by budgets and prison overcrowding. Call me a dinosaur but I am bit fed of hearing the rehabilitation argument. Someone capable of hitting another human being over the head with a hammer deserves to be punished. Ideally punished, educated and rehabilitated, but definitely punished.
The lack of any meaningful punishment means there is little or no deterrent to violent crime.
It is hard to imagine how prison can make someone capable of hitting someone over the head with a hammer more brutal, unemployable or likely to reoffend. Someone with such little respect for human life isn't going to have respect for rules.
These violent thugs are taking the piss out of the system. The police and government announce that they are getting tough on knife crime, so the gangs start carrying hammers instead. When they are caught, they suddenly become model citizens whilst awaiting trial and this is used to get them a last chance in the form of a suspended sentence, except that it isn't a last chance because if when they reoffend they are let off again with a final warning which isn't really a final warning. The system is toothless and the criminals know it.
The rehabilitation argument is also surrounded in hypocrisy. Just look at the Ched Evans case. He serves his time in jail and there is public outrage when he tries to go back to work.
Going to a shopping centre armed with a hammer and hitting someone over the head is as brutal and pre-meditated as is gets. What do you have to do to get custodial sentence these days?
I would like my mortgage to be subject to the same chronological flexibility as a prison sentence.
I would like to be released early from its terms because I have been a model payer.
Just a passing thought.
I couldn't agree more - its totally iniquitous. It also masks another creeping societal problem: as the police actually effectively enforce fewer and fewer laws (and ironically, as politicians add ever more to the statute - like the forthcoming ban on smoking in cars containing kids), much more of the law is being pushed into civil and private hands. These laws are effectively 'cherry-picked' - ie, they're the ones the enforcer can either make money from or are which are self funding through punitive fines; Like parking enforcement or dropping of cigarette buts. But tell me this, would anyone sooner tread on a cigarette but, or a gobet of some chav's potentially TB riddled phlegm, casually spat out onto the pavement? One act of anti-social behaviour would be enforced by a council gumpty, and one won't. The other factor which comes into play is whether or not the purportrator might look traceable and able to pay, eh?
Call me a dinosaur but I am bit fed of hearing the rehabilitation argument. Someone capable of hitting another human being over the head with a hammer deserves to be punished. Ideally punished, educated and rehabilitated, but definitely punished.
Again, I agree. But none of these anti-social behaviours come from a void. Shit parents beget equally unpleasant kids as a rule. And if you come from a poor background and a dysfunctional family, prison isn't perhaps the kind of punishment it might be to other more aspiring people. It seems to me that stick only ever works properly if accompanied by carrot - and this basic fact is one of the very few things psychologists agree about when it comes to getting people to alter their behaviours. If we can't change the way these people think, we're not going to change them fundamentally. I agree that if nothing else, fear of punishment ought to be a deterrent - but for that to become more effective, we'd need to see prisons on the scale of America. And their system of utter social inequality is not something I'd like to ape, however much I'd like to see certain practitioners of crime suffer for their actions.
Completely agree again. I was appalled by the moralising scramble as various people and groups tried to shout the loudest about ostracising him for the rest of his life.
And that brings us back to rehabilitation. If there is no sense of its possibility, why are we letting these people back out of prison at all? If you effectively remove the ability to at least return to a semblance of normality after they've served their sentence, then we may as well return to mob-rule and take a casual attitude to lynch mobs in the first place - or adopt a more shar'ia kind of law in which heads or limbs get lopped for all kinds of infringements.
I would have said cheat the tax man, but even that doesn't seem to hold now, eh?

Not really followed this case in any depth, but have you checked the background of the story to see if the victim might have been as bad as the accused?
Was it the first time he had been violent?
Had been a lot of problem in that neck of the woods leading up to this incident?
No excuse of course for going armed with an hammer.
Just checking!!
but have you checked the background of the story to see if the victim might have been as bad as the accused?
- But THEY are the accused, the victim isn't being accused of anything.
It might be of interest to the bystander, but it ought not to have any bearing on the sentencing, unless the defence could show provocation (and even then, it would be pretty tenuous to try and argue that hammering someones head was a proportionate response, eh?)
The victims name doesn't come up in any google search I've done.
The single most revealing piece about the motivation of the purportrator in this case is that they were apparently a leading figure in a self-styled gang with the pathetic but revealing name of the 'North Young Guns'.
I hate gang culture with a passion - and all the more so when its a bunch of relatively well-off kids in a wiltshire town doing their best to ape the worst excesses of people forced to live in real ghettos.
Adopting a bit of faux jamaican patois, wearing your cap at a jaunty angle and smoking weed all the time does not make you cool or justify your further anti-social behaviour on the basis that you're 'disrespected' or marginalised.
We need to nip this terrible and naive urge for some members our youth to pretend they're in some kind of city suburb. It might be what they hear in the songs they like or the accompanying videos on Youtube, but its not the reality of living in Swindon. If our courts effectively allow them to snub their noses at the consequences of running with their fantasies, it'll only get worse.
Quote from: Muggins on February 15, 2015, 09:16:43 AM
The victims history shouldn't relevant to the perpetrators sentence, unless you are saying that it is okay to hit a bad person over the head with a hammer. If the victim is as bad as the accused, he should also be in prison.
Considering the brutality of the violence almost certainly not. I don't believe that many people go from law abiding citizens to hammer wielding thugs in one step. In a case as bad as this I don't think it is relevant whether the attacker has been violent before. Would you allow a violent rapist to walk free on the basis that it was his first offence?
More reason to impose a tough sentence in my opinion.
Absolutely. Give him 3 years for going armed with a hammer and another 7 for using it. If he was carrying a knife, he would have been jailed.
We need to get tough on all crime, especially violent crime. The experts may tell us that prison doesn't work because it doesn't rehabilitate offenders who go on to reoffend after release, but the alternative namby-pamby approach doesn't appear to working either.
If we stick these thugs in jail for 10 years, they might reoffend after release, but at least they will be off the streets for 10 years at the world will be a better place without them.
Don't make the mistake of thinking they are 'relatively well off' Tobes.
Mixed housing tenure over there.
That approach would only work if there was a massive and expensive expansion of the prisons in this country. There isn't any likely move in that direction for the foreseeable future - so demanding more custodial sentences is just rhetoric - it'll only happen if the treasury make extra millions (if not billions) available to provide the cells. T'ain't gonna happen.
I have much sympathy with your views on this, but as much as id like to see more scrotes eating porridge, it's clear that punishment without rehabilitation is just a way of burning folding money for no real return except to appeal to your right-wing vote. The USA is the biggest example anyone could imagine as to how simply locking even hundreds of thousands of people away doesn't work in the long run.
I suspect we're stuck with what we've got for a long time to come.
Mugs, you and I both know that many of these kids come from households un-threatened by hunger, which are full of white goods, have satellite dishes on the walls, cars on the drives and who's yoot strut around in new trainers and baseball caps. They might not be 'rich' - but neither are they financially poor compared to all kinds of families who still manage to bring up well behaved and intelligent children.
They're 'poor' most importantly in terms of the parenting skills they've received and the ethical values which have (or haven't) been instilled by the culture which surrounds them. Their financial background may not be their fault, but neither is it a blanket excuse.
Quote from: Tobes on February 15, 2015, 07:41:34 PM
I agree. I just feel that we are reaching a point where no one has any respect for the system anymore. We may be going through difficult times, but the system needs to be seen to be fair otherwise the public will lose confidence in and respect for it.
Ordinary working families feel that the system is unfair because they pay their taxes whilst wealthy individuals and companies are avoiding them.
Ordinary law abiding people get hammered in fines for minor first offences whilst violent thugs go unpunished for serious multiple offences. If claiming to be remorseful with a smirk on you face gets you off of a serious violent assault, why doesn't saying sorry for dropping litter get you off the fine. How did law and order stop being about justice and start being a fund raising exercise?
These inconsistencies are breeding a 'them and us' culture. The government like to tell us that the UK is a tolerant country. In my opinion, we are becoming less tolerant by the day.

Challenges of Transitioning to School in the Fall
This upcoming fall will be like no other for America's children. As schools struggle to decide how to re-open safely, upheaval in classroom routines will affect every child, and most notably children with disabilities.
Even at schools that return to full in-class education, for most, the new landscape will include distancing measures including; masks, constant sanitizing, curtailed extra-curricular activities and other safety precautions. Teachers, more susceptible to Covid-19 than children, may be in short supply as they make decisions about the safety of their families and themselves.
The salutary effects of returning to the classroom will accrue across multiple dimensions. As the spring vividly illustrated, children learn demonstrably better in school than at home, an estimated 30% difference in reading and 50% in math, according to the North West Education Association. For children with disabilities, the return of therapists, mental health support and individualized education could be a boon to their progress.
Additionally, children appear to be at significantly lower risk of Covid-19 illness in school than the general population has been in its conventional daily activities. Twenty-two European countries have reopened school, albeit with the usual precautions, and not a single Covid hotspot has been reported. It is estimated that an infected child has a 1 in 100,000 chance of dying from Covid, about one-twentieth the morbidity rate of adults. (This is not to advocate for complacency; the odds are less sanguine for immunocompromised children.)
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly supports a return to the classroom for educational, social-emotional and developmental reasons. The organization argues that children suffer in unseen ways when school is closed and moved online; they grow from interacting socially with other children and adults besides their parents, eating nutritious meals in communal settings and playing outside with peers.
Some schools are considering the pod approach where each class remains together throughout the school day. This eliminates the between-class hallway jam and mixed playground activities that are conducive to spreading infection. If one child tests positive for Covid under this arrangement, only that pod would require quarantining.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that students should be kept in small cohorts, mimicking most elementary school arrangements. CDC recommends this be adopted by middle and high schools as well.
This new arrangement brings with it considerable changes and impact for students and teachers alike. The pod system is structured so that one teacher remains with a pod of 6-15 children all day in one classroom, eating meals and conducting all learning in the same environment. This impacts the delivery of specialist classes such as music, physical education, and other such classes. It also limits who the students interact with daily meaning that the opportunities for meeting new friends and mixing with other kids on the playground is eliminated. The social distancing requirements also mean that teachers cannot touch or physically comfort students- a significant adjustment for younger children starting school for the first time whose connection to their first teacher is critical for safety, well-being and adjustment.
"Districts should expect a longer transition period for some students with disabilities," says District Administration, a resource for school administrators. Missing out on specialized instruction and school-based services, in addition to interruptions in routines, may pose challenges for these students. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends schools review the specific needs of each child with an IEP prior to their return to school.
Each state is crafting its own reconvening formulas based on CDC guidelines. That said, schools and parents must recognize that younger children and some children with disabilities will be challenged to follow mask protocols or observe distancing rules. Administrators planning safety procedures for the school year must take this complicating factor into account.
The transition back to school may come with a transition of its own, if Covid-19 infections across the nation continue to spike or if they flare up at an individual school. That might necessitate a shutdown and reintroduction of virtual learning. Being buffeted from in-person to online repeatedly could wreak havoc on children and parents alike, particularly those stressed by changes in routine.
Some counties have already announced that schools will not re-open in the fall, causing some parents to enlist with home school organizations, hire their own teachers, or apply to private schools. Some parents have organized social activities with their own small "pod" of families, hiring camp counselors and sports instructors to provide instruction and social and physical activities.

Saving for the future may be one of the reasons as to why people may want to invest in stocks, retirement plans, mutual funds, and so on. However, before investing in any plan, it may be wise to consider the potential outcomes of the investment and the purpose of the investment or investment goals.
These are difficult times we are living in nowadays, and people tend to find challenges when it comes to their finances. People even work double — even triple — time just to earn enough money to support their own needs and those of their families.

In a world where nothing material is free, making money is a must for survival. We can work double — even triple — time just to earn as much as we need and want. However, we will realize that what we earn is still not enough. With this, we lose our time, our energy, and we still do not have enough!
Many Americans retire with little to nothing in their savings accounts, nor do they have reliable retirement plans.

New York SAFE Act Takes Effect: State troopers voice concern over enforcing law (VIDEO)
Starting Monday, April 15, law-abiding gun owners in the People's Republic of New York will no longer be allowed to load more than seven rounds in their 10-round magazines, which they're allowed to own under the new law.
This brilliant law — the brainchild of venerable Gov. Andrew Cuomo — is designed to save lives. After all, a sociopath that's hell-bent on killing innocents is going to obey this law and refrain from filling up his 10-round magazine, as is a gangbanger or serial rapist, etc.
It's an ingenuous law because, as we all know, criminals and killers always follow the letter of the law.
All joking aside, this is the new reality in the Empire State following the passage of the much-maligned Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, aka NY SAFE Act.
SAFE Act Magazine Limit
Of course, the NY SAFE Act not only puts restrictions on magazine capacity, but also places a ban on so-called 'assault' weapons and requires those 'assault' weapons possessed prior to April 15, 2013, to be registered with the state government.
The deadline for registering one's 'assault' weapon is a year from now: April 15, 2014.
Critics of the controversial NY SAFE Act argue that it's both futile as a means to prevent gun violence and wholly unconstitutional. As the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association told CNYCentral.com, the law violates the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens "to keep commonly possessed firearms."
Currently, several gun rights organizations, including the National Rifle Association, have challenged the law in court. Though, until a federal judge says otherwise, the NY SAFE Act will continue to take hold.
Budd Schroeder of the Shooters Committee on Political Education explained some of the other issues with the law, particularly what he sees as the end game of the state-run registry.
"They can't confiscate something unless they know where it is — and that's where registration is. It worked very well in Nazi Germany," Schroeder told Buffalo Business First.
With respect to the magazine limitations, Schroeder showed how easily it could turn an otherwise law-abiding citizen into a criminal.
"I have seven rounds in it," he said, holding a 10-round magazine. "So I am an honest, upstanding citizen of New York. But if I put this cartridge in there, even though I don't have the gun, I become a criminal."
Practically speaking, it's unenforceable, as many have argued, including Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb (R-Canandaigua), a vocal opponent of the law.
"How are you really going to police if someone has seven bullets in a magazine or 10?" said Kolb. "You're just not going to be able to police it. It's impractical."
In fact, the whole subject of enforcing the SAFE Act has state police on edge. In a statement released via email on Monday, the New York State Troopers PBA admitted that its 6,000-member group has "widely shared concerns of this new law."
Nevertheless, they are obligated to enforce the law (an excerpt from the email):
It is the responsibility of this union to defend the reputation and safety of our members. Potential legislative changes as well as pending court decisions may further alter the terms of the SAFE Act. The individual members of this union did not write the terms of the bill nor vote on its passage. We urge the citizens of New York State to remember that Troopers are simply tasked with the lawful mandate to enforce the laws of the State, regardless of their personal opinion of such laws.
Similar concerns were also expressed by the New York State Sheriffs' Association.
The bottom line is that the NY SAFE Act is bogus (for definitive proof, click here). Gun owners know it. Law enforcement knows it. Everyone knows it. That is, everyone but a select group of politicians who believe the Second Amendment is a farce.

Flo Rida Has A "Good Feeling"; International Megastar's Smash Single Certified Platinum, Becoming The Rapper's Sixth Platinum Single In The U.S.
IMG/Poe Boy/Atlantic recording artist Flo Rida's smash single, "Good Feeling" has been RIAA-certified Platinum, with digital single sales already approaching 2 million. "Good Feeling" is now the rapper's sixth certified Platinum hit in the U.S. The Dr. Luke-produced track is currently Top 5 at multiple outlets, including Billboard's "Hot 100" chart, Top 40 and CHR/Rhythmic radio platforms and iTunes' "Top Songs" chart. The companion video, directed by the award-winning Erik White, has over 35 million worldwide views on YouTube, with no signs of slowing down. Watch "Good Feeling" here: http://youtu.be/3OnnDqH6Wj8. Last month, the Miami native released his brand new single "Wild Ones," featuring Australian songstress, Sia. Listen to "Wild Ones (feat. Sia)" here: http://youtu.be/xScsmPyspLg.
"Good Feeling" has proven to be an international success, landing the #1 spot this week on the "Official UK Singles Chart." The track is also topping the iTunes "Top Singles" charts in France, Germany and Austria, while remaining in the Top 5 on the European Airplay singles chart. Adding to all this, both "Good Feeling" and "Wild Ones (feat. Sia)" are in the Top 10 of iTunes "Top Singles" chart in Australia, with "Wild Ones" sitting atop the chart. What's more, Flo Rida recently brought his party anthems to TV, with two high profiled performances; performing a medley of "Club Can't Handle Me" and "Good Feeling" on ABC's Dancing With The Stars and a special a cappella version of "Good Feeling" on NBC's The Sing Off, where the international phenom performed alongside Pentatonix and Urban Method, two of the show's contestants.
Flo Rida is one of the most recognizable international artists today, having toured nearly every continent. The Miami-based rapper burst onto the scene in 2007 with his record-breaking hit "Low (feat. T-Pain)" from his debut album, "MAIL ON SUNDAY." The single has gone on to become one of the most successful digital singles of the past decade, with sales exceeding 11 million downloads worldwide, making its way into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2008 for the best-selling download in the United States. Additionally, the single remained at #1 for 10 consecutive weeks on the Billboard "Hot 100" chart in 2008.
In 2009, Flo Rida once again made history with his hit single, "Right Round," when it became the highest-selling one-week digital single with more than 636,000 downloads sold in its debut week. In addition, "Right Round," from the rapper's album "R.O.O.T.S.," sold 1 million downloads in its first two weeks, making it one of the fastest-selling singles ever. Globally, "Right Round" has sold nearly 12 million singles to date.
In 2010, the rapper once more made worldwide noise with his party anthem "Club Can't Handle Me (feat. David Guetta)." The companion video has been viewed more than 100 million times on YouTube. Combined, Flo Rida has sold more than 40 million singles worldwide.


The Henry Luce Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange Provided over $720,000 to ACLS in 2018 to Fund Research in China Studies.
Thirty-three scholars in China studies received support for projects on diverse topics ranging from colonialism and borderland studies to studies of the Internet and big data in China. The American Council of Learned Societies is grateful to these funders for their continued support.
"Every year we receive a large number of very well-prepared applications and the selection committee deliberations are intense. This year they faced the hard task of selecting 33 scholars from a very strong pool. The research will contribute significantly to the field of China studies. Reading the abstracts of the 2018 awardees provides a glimpse into the future of the field - its new directions and its great potential," noted Andrzej W. Tymowski, ACLS director of international programs.
Predissertation-Summer Travel Grants were awarded to 15 PhD students for summer travel to China in preparation for dissertation research. The travel makes possible preliminary investigations of research sites and archives, and the securing of necessary institutional affiliations to prepare for dissertation research in China.
See the full list of 2018 Luce/ACLS Predissertation-Summer Travel Grantees here.
Postdoctoral Fellowships were awarded to 10 early career scholars for preparing their PhD dissertations for publication or for embarking on their first major post-PhD research projects. This is the fourth competition year in which postdoctoral fellowships are supported in part by funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
See the full list of 2018 Luce/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellows here.
Collaborative Reading-Workshop Grants were awarded to four teams of scholars for convening multi- and interdisciplinary groups of scholars and graduate students to examine texts that constitute essential points of entry to Chinese periods, traditions, communities, or events, in either contemporary or historical times.
See the full list of 2018 Luce/ACLS Collaborative Reading-Workshop Grantees here.
The program, funded by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange, awarded four conference grants. The program supports collaborative work in China studies that undertakes explicitly cross-cultural or comparative perspectives through grants for planning meetings, workshops, and conferences.
See the full list of 2018 Comparative Perspectives on Chinese Culture and Society Grantees here.
Information about the competitions for 2018-19 will be available here in summer 2018.
The American Council of Learned Societies, a private, nonprofit federation of 75 national scholarly organizations, is the preeminent representative of American scholarship in the humanities and related social sciences. Advancing scholarship by awarding fellowships and strengthening relations among learned societies is central to ACLS's work. This year, ACLS will award more than $20 million to over 350 scholars across a variety of humanistic disciplines.

How to leave a hatch in transparent?
I have a box design, inside this box has water. When I begin to detail the design in 2D, we apply sectional view in the area that has water. I would like the water is transparent to show all the components that are submerged in water.
How to leave a transparent hatch?
Re: How to leave a hatch in transparent?
Can you use a shaded mode in the views?
Pick on the hatch pattern for the component you want to be water. The property manager will display the properties for the hatch pattern. They will be grayed out, but you can uncheck "material crosshatch" and then change the pattern to "none".
Select the water part face(s) cut by the section line and do 'convert entitites' to create sketch profiles of the regions you want to show components. Create new annotation hatches for each region by chain selecting the sketch profile entities (to chain select, pick on one of the profile sketch segments, right click and pick 'select chain' from the context menu) and launching the "Area Hatch/Fill" tool and select the pattern you want to indicate the water.
You could change the hatch pattern to "none." for the water component, but if you wanted to indicate some kind of semi-transparency, then I suggest using 'dots' and adjusting the scale to make the pattern denser. This will give a dithered or screened effect that will suggest immersion in liquid.
Unfortunately, SolidWorks doesn't support transparent or gradient fills.
You can also show the the components that you want to show through the water by right-clicking on them, going to Hide/Show and selecting, "Show hidden edges"
This will display the components in hidden lines but you can change the appearance by rmb-ing on the view and going to the 'component line font' dialog box.
Would simply hiding the water work? Maybe you need to see the water level. In that case you could use Convert Entities to make a sketch of the water level line, then hide the water part.
Thank so much, I did at his suggestion and my 2D drawing was perfect, in my opinion SolidWorks should develop this "type of adaptation."


in creator/contributor: "Langley Aeronautical Laboratory"
Description: "A method of interference is described in the present report which promises profitable application in aeronautical research. The physical foundation of the method and a simple method of adjustment are briefly discussed. The special technical construction of the instrument is described which guarantees its use also in the case of vibrations of the surrounding space and permits the investigation of unsteady phenomena" (p. 1).
Description: "This document contains reproductions of technical papers on some of the most recent research results on aircraft loads, flutter, and structures from the NACA laboratories. These papers were presented by members of the staff of the NACA laboratories at the Conference held at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory March 5, 6, and 7, 1957. The primary purpose of this Conference was to convey to contractors of the military services and others concerned with the design of aircraft these recent research results and to provide those attending an opportunity to discuss the results" (p. 6).
Description: This document contains reproductions of the technical papers presented at the NACA - University Conference on Aerodynamics held at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory on June 21, 22, and 23, 1948. The conference was held in recognition of the difficulties, imposed by security restrictions, in keeping abreast of the rapid advances in aerodynamics. The papers were prepared to review the status of a number of fields of interest, to summarize the more important wartime advances that are no longer classified, and to orient reference material for further study.
Description: "As a turbine rotor turns, the blades traverse the wake zones of the nozzle vanes. A periodic fluctuation of the pressure distribution around the circumference of the rotor blade is therefore caused. It was desired to investigate quantitatively this effect. At the same time, the magnitude of the force acting upon one profile of the rotor-blade lattice at various positions of this lattice relative to the nozzle lattice was to be determined" (p. 1).
Description: "This document contains reproductions of technical papers presented by staff members of the NACA Laboratories at the NACA Conference on Aerodynamics of High-Speed Aircraft held at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory November 1, 2, and 3, 1955. The primary purpose of the conference was to convey to contractors of the military services and others concerned with the design of aircraft the results of recent research and to provide those attending with an opportunity to discuss these results. The papers in this document are in the same form in which they were orally presented at the conference to facilitate their prompt distribution" (p. vii).
Description: Note presenting the development of a NACA oil-damped V-G recorder in which viscous damping of accelerometer results in improved frequency response, reduces susceptibility to vibration, and eliminates the necessity for field adjustments of damping.
Description: "A method is presented for finding an mth-degree polynomial that passes through a specified point with (m - j) specified derivatives (l ≤ j ≤ m) and is a least-squares polynomial for other points spaced at unequal intervals of the independent variable" (p. 1).
Description: "A method has been developed for evaluating from shadow or schileren photographs the pressure drag of axially symmetrical bodies at zero angle of attack or of two-dimensional bodies producing detached shock. The method consists in the determination of the flow properties along a characteristic line and the application of the momentum theorem to a stream tube around the body. The method can be applied to the determination of external drag of supersonic inlets with subsonic flow at the entrance of the inlet" (p. 1).
Description: Note presenting normal-acceleration and airspeed data obtained for one type of twin-engine transport airplane in commercial operations in order to determine the gust and gust-load experiences of the airplane. Results regarding acceleration experience, gust experience, seasonal effects, and effect of special operating restriction are provided.


The chain said, while"seemingly" unlikely, if the Government's proposed tariffs were put into place it would slash its costs by £12 million to £15 million, allowing "modest" savings to be passed on to customers.
On the impact of a delay to the UK's withdrawal from the EU, Next chief executive and prominent Brexiteer Lord Simon Wolfson said consumers were "numb to the daily swings in the political debate", with little evidence that uncertainty is affecting consumer demand for clothing.
The comments came as Next posted a 0.4% dip in pre-tax profits to £722.9 million for the year to the end of January, and forecast a further decline over the year ahead amid "challenging" trading.
It saw high street sales tumble by 7.9%, but total brand sales lifted 2.6% thanks to a 14.7% jump in online trade.
The group said it expects profits to "marginally" decline by around 1.1% to £715 million over the new financial year ahead, despite forecasting higher sales as online trade is expected to increasingly boost performance.
Lord Wolfson said that, for small ticket purchases such as clothing, Brexit is having little negative impact.
He said: "We can see no evidence that this uncertainty is affecting consumer behaviour in our sector.
Lord Wolfson also said despite the Brexit uncertainty, the economic fundamentals affecting consumer behaviour have improved – with better job rates and low inflation.
"Whilst our relationship with the EU remains uncertain, other economic indicators for the consumer look less worrying than at this point last year," he said.
In details of its outlook for the sector over the next 15 years, the group also revealed that it expects to reduce its current 507-strong store estate and slash rents to offset the high street gloom and increase focus on web trade.
"Our guess is that there will be shops in 15 years' time, but they will be fewer in number, possibly smaller and much less expensive," the group said.
However, it said stores will remain vital to the group and that, even in the worst-case scenario of hefty falls in high street sales of around 10% a year and little reduction in rental costs, some 270 shops could stay open.
Jonathan Pritchard, retail analyst at Peel Hunt, said it was a "perfectly acceptable" set of results from Next.
"Next believes it is well prepared for Brexit and pointed to the high level of employment and rising wages as factors that should support consumer spending," he said.


Online learning offers busy adults the opportunity to seek a better future while fulfilling current commitments. You can study in the comfort of your own home, PJs on and coffee in hand, without having to pay for the gas to get you to and from class. You can complete your coursework in the morning, noon or at night – whenever inspiration strikes. And many times, you can complete your degree in less time than an on-site university. However, like everything in life, you need to be a savvy shopper. There are tons of online schools out there that promise the moon and the stars, but not all are worthy of your time and money. Below are five things to consider when choosing an online school. Consideration 1: Curriculum and credits Before enrolling in an online degree program, you should verify whether the credits you've earned to date transfer to the university you wish to attend. Likewise, it's important to investigate which course credits earned at your desired university will transfer, should you want to pursue other options later down the road. Get more information on SAU's course credit transfer policies here. Consideration 2: Support Online education differs from in-class learning, and your online instructors should be uniquely trained and experienced in presenting online content in an inventive and engaging way. But perhaps more important to your success is the connection and communication you receive from your instructors and fellow students. Not only should you have access to engaging online resources, but you should also enjoy the opportunity to build friendships with classmates and speak to your instructor via phone when you need to. Consideration 3: Tuition and financial aid You already know to look for a competitively priced online university. But it's important to understand the additional amenities your university of choice offers. The support you receive as an online student could make or break your success. Key amenities to look for include financial aid advising, academic advising and career planning services. Consideration 4: Accreditation Accreditation is a great way to ensure you will graduate with the skills you'll need to work in your field. Employers respect accredited degrees more than non-accredited degrees. That's why it's imperative that your university offers accredited programs. (After all, you're going to school to improve your career.) To review university accreditation, you can visit the U.S. Department of Education's >databasespan style="font-weight: 400;"> of accredited postsecondary institutions. Consideration 5: Technology Online studies are a great way to improve your online communication skills and meet the needs of an increasingly digital society. Your online program should offer tutorials for how to complete your assignments, technical help, and opportunities for connection like email, chat, discussion boards, live audio conferencing and a quality learning management system that will enable you to connect with your fellow students and instructors 24/7.

Peak physical age is getting older, says leading physiologist
Robert Hill 10 September 2019
By David Saunders, Health Editor | UPDATED: 08:28, 26 June 2020
A leading physiologist has supported the claim that athletes can stay fitter and healthier for longer now than ever before.
Traditionally, elite sportsmen and women have tended to peak in their professional careers in the mid to late 20s, but recent trends have seen experienced pros maintain their success well into their 30s.
Roger Federer and Tiger Woods are two examples, winning major tennis and golf championships in their late 30s and early 40s respectively.
And now Jacky Forsyth, Associate Professor of Exercise Physiology at Staffordshire University, has told Finishing on a High – a study into the ages and trends of modern fitness – that medical advancements in training and healthcare have led to people playing sports for longer at all levels.
"Most research suggests that performance decline occurs around the age of 50 for both men and women," she told GiG.
"Already, the age for being at peak is getting older – maybe this is more to do with a societal change than a technological/treatment change.
"There have been medical advancements and we have a better understanding of how the body responds and adapts to training. There is also the idea that, for endurance sports, an older age is preferable since, with ageing, the body responds more to endurance training in terms of muscle tissue and cellular adaptation."
One trend that is constant in sport is that the average age of female champions across golf, tennis, athletics and cycling is much younger than that of men in the same sports.
Male Grand Tour winners peak at around 29 years old, while women enjoy success at around 27, while in gold they peak at 31 and 26 respectively and 26 and 25 in tennis.
Forsyth claims this is down to biological factors. "It is probably a mixture of things," she said.
For example, for women, in the past, it was thought that an athletic career termination would be inevitable if a woman wished to start a family."
She added: "Females tend to drop out of sport around adolescence if there are body changes that get in the way of achieving what they want to achieve, so in sports like golf, there may be less of an influence of pubertal changes that disrupt playing."
In tennis there have been three teenage major champions since the turn of the century compared to just one in the men's game, while 21 players aged 21 and under have tasted success compared to 10 in the men's game, but tend to have far less success later in their careers apart from Serena Williams.
Finishing on a High breaks down six individual sports by age to consider which players have defied their age to enjoy success beyond the average age, and picks out six potential stars of the future based on their profile.

Which of our actors could play Ivo in "Wild Angel"
December 31, 2021 Adam 0 Comments
Wild Angel is one of the most successful Argentine soap operas in history. She brought worldwide popularity to the actors of this famous television series – Natalia Oreiro and Facundo Arana. Despite their considerable age, many are revising this picture and still admire the magnificent performance of these talented actors.
The dramatic relationship between the young servant Milagros and the son of the owner of the house, Ivo, won the hearts of millions of housewives, retirees and even young people. Facundo Arana as Ivo Di Carlo-Miranda Rapallo was remembered by many. After the resounding success in the series "Wild Angel" Facundo starred in many telenovelas, several times was nominated for the title of Best Actor in his homeland.
It would be interesting to see which of the modern Russian actors could play the role of handsome Ivo with the same deafening degree? We have selected the top 5 applicants for this role. So let's see.
Stanislav Bondarenko
This is one of the most successful and sought-after Russian theater and film actors. He is called almost the most handsome man in modern cinema. Thanks to his good looks and charisma, Stanislav could perfectly play the role of Ivo and win the hearts of millions of women.
Anton Makarsky
Russian theater, film and dubbing actor, as well as singer Anton Makarsky. The audience's favorite plays the roles of romantic young people. With so much experience, as well as masculine charm, he would have been able to replace Facundo Arana with great success.
Alexey Anischenko
Popular Russian film and television actor Alexei Anischenko. A talented and outwardly attractive actor could incredibly accurately convey the image of the main character and appear on the TV screen in tandem with the charming beauty Mili (Milagros).
Maxim Matveev
Contemporary Russian theater and film actor Maxim Matveev. The series of our childhood "Wild Angel" with the participation of this Russian actor would have had the same tremendous success. After all, a talented actor plays in such a way that it is impossible to look away from the screen.
Anton Khabarov
Russian actor, star of numerous TV series, including the sensational mystical project "Closed School", the action-packed series "Bros" and the film adaptation of Tatiana Ustinova's novel "Chronicle of Vile Times". He, too, would be able to compete with the Argentine star Facundo Arana.

Living in a large family – the pros and cons of how to behave in a large family and keep your Self


Tioratti Falls glides through the autumn forest of Harriman State Park. New York and Harriman State Park are famous for their fall colors.

All of the work we do is guaranteed for a full 1-5 years (depending on the quality of the materials selected by owner). If there are any defects in our workmanship, we come back promptly for free!
Do you do "free" estimates?
Yes we do! Our initial consultation is free of charge. This usually takes place at your home where we will discuss your plans and give you a verbal quote.
We do charge for all design, estimating, specifying and feasibility work beyond this point. This work is almost always required in order to determine an accurate cost for your specific project.
If you feel that you would like to move foward we will generate a design/build agreement based on your specific goals and budget. This allows us to do the work necessary to design and estimate the cost of your project without any obligation to the actual construction of the project.
I've heard stories of contractors starting a job and then leaving before it's finished or taking forever because they come and go. When you start my job will you stay until it's finished?
Should I consider moving out of my house during the remodel?
Remodeling can be a little inconvenient and messy, especially when it comes to interior living spaces like kitchens and bathrooms. However, most of our projects are completed while our clients occupy their homes. Our clients find our team of mature craftsmen and professional tradesmen to be very courteous, conscientious and accommodating. But, if your project is extensive, it may become more practical for you to temporarily move out. You can discuss you specific situation with us prior to scheduling your project.
We can guarantee the cost of labor, however, we cannot guarantee the cost of materials. The cost of materials can literally fluctuate from day to day. Also, If you ask for different materials or additional work is needed, the price will change. You will be informed immediately if and whenever this occurs.
In order to know whether something has changed requires that every task and item be clearly spelled out in writing so there is a clear record of the agreement. All Phase Remodeling & Mechanicals, Inc. provides very detailed proposals so you will know exactly what was included and what wasn't. As a result, we rarely have any misunderstandings.
What's the difference between an estimate and a price?An "Estimate" is just that "an Estimate". It can and most likely will change. Many contractors lack the ability and/or patience to produce accurate estimates and tend to "guesstimate" the costs based on very little information. This method offers you no protection against cost escalation.
A "Price" is generally fixed (depending on your written agreement) and usually is based on more detailed information taken from the site visit and/or drawings. A price generally requires a fixed set of specifications and scope of work and therefore requires a great deal of "pre-planning" and designing. This method offers the most in the way of price protection. Usually the client and the contractor agree (in writing) on a fixed scope and fixed price.
These are general definitions. It all depends on the terms set forth in the contract. All Phase Remodeling & Mechanicals, Inc. does almost all jobs on a "fixed" price.
All work that constitutes an additional charge will be done through a written Change Order. These are done weekly and if for some reason that is not possible you will at least be kept informed until we can produce a Change Order. This way you will always know what we are doing and where you stand financially. This eliminates the "surprises" at the end of your project and allows you to make sound financial decisions, upgrades for example, along the way.
Getting other estimates is a personal decision. Only you can decide if will you feel comfortable having not gotten other estimates. It's very easy to compare prices but very difficult to compare scopes of work and specifications and even more difficult to compare service and craftsmanship. All too often people are tempted by a lower price and live to regret it when they don't get the job they expected or worse, things start falling apart. Our advice has always been - hire a contractor you trust and feel confident will do a professional job for you. Gain this confidence by doing your due diligence – check references and ask lots of good questions.
How can I be sure I will get a quality job at a fair price?
This is closely related to the question above. However, bear this in mind - REPUTATION, REPUTATION and REPUTATION! If you have chosen a contractor that has an impeccable reputation for doing quality work in the community, chances are high that you will get a good job at a fair price.
Again, words of caution though – check references and visit the jobsite to see the work first hand. Any reputable contractor will welcome the chance to show off his work.
I've had projects completed in the past that seemed to be "designed" as the contractor went along; we didn't really know what we were getting nor what it was really going to look like until the end and the whole project seemed very inefficient. How can I be sure I will get what I want?
All of our projects are carefully designed and planned through our integrated design process. We design your project thoroughly, plan it out thoroughly, estimate it, specify it and quote it thoroughly – all upfront, before we start.
You will know EXACTLY what we are doing and what it will cost before we even get the permit.
Yes. All products like doors, hardware, trim, windows, siding, plumbing and electrical fixtures, flooring, paint colors, you select all specialty items, etc., with our guidance. These are normally chosen to closely match the existing items in your home or specific design tastes. We will provide a special worksheet and checklist that will identify all of the products that need to be selected by you.
I've had incompetent and unfriendly workers in my home before. Can you tell about whom you plan to have in my home?
All of the people we employ are clean, enjoyable people with very friendly personalities - all of which you will gladly welcome into your home. Just ask any of our references and they'll gladly confirm this.

"I'm sorry. How rude of me." She took off her sunglasses.. "My name is Jennifer. Jennifer Washington." This time she extended her hand without hesitation.
When David had seen her at Madison's last night, she'd looked beautiful from a distance. Up close, she was a goddess–one that trumped the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Staring into her honeycomb brown, seraphic eyes, David felt a solemn peace infuse his heart. And then the warming, churning sensation returned again.
"Thank you." She blushed under his gaze.
"What did you feel?" Her gaze was locked into his.
"So special that you couldn't speak last night, hmm?" She gave him a teasing smile.

In this scene of my novel, another opportunity presents itself to David.
Although he wasn't a regular at this Starbuck's, he didn't want his feelings spilled all over for the amusement of others, like what had happened with the milk. He wanted to avoid further embarrassment at all cost. However, at the same time, he knew he couldn't risk losing another opportunity to get her phone number. This was his moment to capitalize on a second chance. A chance he probably wouldn't get again.
He fixed the sleeve on his cup and thrust his chest out. Holding his chin high, he boldly made his way over to her. Tacking closer to her table, he caught the title on the front page of the bound papers that she was reading.
"Eternity was in our lips and yes, bliss in our brows bent," he quoted, resting his hand on the back of the chair next to her. He waited to see if she'd respond or look up. Nothing happened. His legs grew heavy and the palms of his hands became clammier by the second. Awkwardness handed David's confidence a pink slip, but he refused to accept termination.
"May I join you?" he asked assertively.
"An aspiring one. Are you an actor?" There was a half smile on her face.

Ladies and gentlemen, Nik Wallenda has left the building. It's draft time.
This edition of the Baker's Dozen holds some notes entering what could be a frenzied week of NHL moves.
1) If we are to believe the news coming out of Edmonton, it appears that the 1st overall pick in the draft will be staying with the Oilers. Nail Yakupov and Ryan Murray are the obvious duo being considered, but rumors suggest that towering defender Griffin Reinhart is also in the discussion. Reinhart's inclusion isn't all that startling seeing how his well-rounded development has taken shape right in front of Oiler brass as a member of the WHL's Oil Kings.
2) I've been getting a lot of questions about the Sabres' chances of moving up in the draft. As stated during WGR 550's Howard Simon Show on Friday, I think it's important that they try to get that skilled difference maker up front. Alex Galchenyuk and Filip Forsberg would be ideal targets at #2 or #4, but perhaps greater potential exists to move to the #6/#7 range to safely get Teuvo Teravainen.
3) Sitting at #6, Anaheim seems to be a compelling trade partner for the Sabres. The Ducks could use some blueline help following the trade of Jake Gardiner and the recent Justin Schultz debacle. Their small market model could also afford more picks. Heck, while chatting I might as well kick the tires of that superb scoring line forward who was the subject of rumors prior to Bruce Boudreau's arrival.
4) From the wishful thinking file: Back in 2008, the Sabres used the 12th overall pick to select the #4 ranked North American skater (Tyler Myers). This year's #4 North American skater? Galchenyuk.
5) I'm curious how many GMs near the top of draft are asking for a 2013 #1 pick to be included as incentive to vacate the top-five. Next year's class is loaded with enough top-end talent that could eventually rival the great 2003 draft (remember these names: MacKinnon, Jones, Shinkaruk, Barkov, Monahan, Rychel, Duclair, Ristolainen, Lazar, Pulock). Depending on the bidder, adding a 2013 first round swing could be like forking over Apple stock.
6) A look back to a year ago offers an interesting scenario to consider as the Sabres approach the 21st selection. Sitting deeper at #26, Washington opted out by trading the pick to Chicago for the rights to restricted free agent, Troy Brouwer. You'd think it'd be a rational thought for Regier if the right player becomes available. The Sabres need to get better now.
7) I hinted at it in the draft preview without ranting on and on, but the Sabres need to look at changing out some veterans if they aren't going to change the coach. I keep looking back to the Kings, who were playing every shift for Sutter en route to their Cup win. Aside from usual suspect Derek Roy, I wouldn't at all be surprised if Thomas Vanek's name surfaces in trade discussions between now and early July.
8) After a brief struggle to start, London's Olli Maatta adjusted rather well in his first season of North American hockey, culminating with a breakout two-way performance in the Knights run to the Memorial Cup final. Word is the Sabres were quite impressed, so much that they were the only team to bring the Finnish defender in for private testing. No word on whether or not Maatta brought with him some hockey cards for his childhood idol, Sabres asisstant Teppo Numminen, to sign.
9) Speaking of the London Knights, the OHL champions are said to have a deal in place to select Swedish netminder Oscar Dansk in the upcoming CHL import draft. Dansk, noted as my favorite goaltender in this week's NHL draft, is a first round talent who could very well be the reason that New Jersey kept their first round pick this year.
10) Staying on the visits, it was not at all surprising to see the Sabres bring Cedric Paquette to town despite him not being listed in Central Scouting's rankings. I included him in the draft preview (5th round) for his intriguing combo of size and raw skills, and there's some validation knowing that the Sabres reacted similarly. The question now is how highly they think of him.
11) A quick pass of recent mock drafts sees the staff at Red Line Report selecting Scott Laughton for the Sabres at #12. Rated as a legit target for #21 in the draft preview, the USA Today mention confirms Laughton's late rise but also shows how wild this first round could be once you get past the top-10.
12) In 2009, I was very convicted in my endorsement of Chris Kreider at #13. A year later, it looked as if the Sabres were going have a crack at the preferred Riley Sheahan at #23 (he went 21st). Last June, they hit their target with Armia. The more I think about it, Maatta would be very hard to pass up at #12 despite the need for better positional balance.
13) The Sabres Prospects mobile bunker should arrive in Pittsburgh early on Friday. In addition to checking this space for news and notes, be sure to follow on Twitter for real time updates as the big show plays out. If you happen to be at the draft, feel free to look for the broom.
Wonder what it would take to tickle Garth Snow's soft underbelly of irrationality in order to secure 4th overall? Both first round picks would have to be the starting point. I'd argue with Snow that since the Islanders have done a good job of consistently wacky drafting, why not double the Isle's pleasue by giving them two rolls of the dice?
Snow 'should' be able to at least find a potent 3rd liner with two first round picks. I can't see why he would say no to two first round picks....though to sweeten the deal maybe Regier should include a set of bionic legs for Rick DiPietro.

Chopt
Popular fast-casual salad concept Chopt debuted its expanded kids' menu in the Charlotte market last week.
It's the first — and only — market to roll out Chopt Jr., a menu that takes classic kid-approved fare and puts a healthy twist on it.
"We were looking to do more," says Nick Marsh, chief executive of Chopt. "Our feeling was it hadn't been fully executed for kids."
Previously, the only offering dedicated to kids was a side salad.
If successful here, the kids' menu would roll out across the state by the end of the year and all 60-plus Chopt locations by the end of 2020.
"This allows us to try some things without moving too far down the road," Marsh adds.

The Book That Changed My Life
The Paper That Changed My Life
I think I might be a failed historian. Asked by the editors to nominate a history book that changed my life I draw a blank. I know I should cite Foucault's The History of Sexuality: An Introduction but this would simply be an intellectual conceit. Sure, this slim volume sits in my office on prominent display but it is not an object of affection, more a warning to students. Closer to the mark would be some of the grand narrative histories of the 20th century I have devoured: Tony Judt's Post War; Eric Hobsbawn's Age of Extremes; Mark Mazower's Dark Continent. (All white male authors and British I now register uneasily.) However, I would not say these books have greatly influenced the way I write or think about history. I envy the authors capacity to write crisply about huge swathes of history but I have no desire to try to emulate them. In truth, I do not think I could. I love reading these sweeping, tragic-hopeful master pieces but forced to nominate a piece of writing that has rattled in my brain for 20 years I turn to yet another white, British male: the psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott.
Winnicott's short paper 'Fear of a Breakdown' was published in the International Review of Psychoanalysis in 1974 three years after his death, but was probably compiled during the 1960s from various lectures and notes. I read it during the 1990s when I was writing my PhD and undertaking an elongated and intensive personal therapy ("the long 1990s" I call this phase of my life with a nod to Hobsbawn). In this paper, Winnicott states simply of the patient in therapy who fears breaking down: 'I contend that the clinical fear of a breakdown is the fear of a breakdown that has already been experienced.' He elaborates: 'It must be asked here: why does the patient go on being worried by this that belongs in the past? The answer must be that the original experience of primitive agony cannot get into the past tense unless the ego can first gather it into omnipotent control now assuming the auxiliary ego-supporting function of the mother [analyst]).'
Winnicott has been immensely influential on the broad school of relational psychoanalysis that has coalesced since the 1980s. In the language of contemporary psychoanalysis, we might say that Winnicott was detailing, in his idiosyncratic and prescient fashion, the adult effects of early relational trauma. The American relational analyst Donald Stern calls a similar psychic phenomenon 'unformulated experience'. In terms of personal history, Winnicott's insight resonated with me. I felt it in my bones, to use a favourite Winnicott phrase. I doubt in any conscious way it influenced how I thought about writing history but now that I re-read the paper, I can see it chimes with my intellectual interest in how the past inhabits the present. If I really wanted to dabble in omnipotence, I might even substitute historian for mother/analyst.
More prosaically, over the years I have had occasion to return to this paper to remind myself that personally and professionally, the worst has probably already happened.
Robert Reynolds is an Associate Professor at Macquarie Universality. He specializes in post-ww2 Australian History with a particular emphasis upon identity politics and sexuality. He undertook his PhD at The University of Melbourne, studying under two of Australia's leading gender historians, Professor Patricia Grimshaw and Professor Joy Damousi. Reynolds took up a post-doctoral fellowship in 1999 at Sydney University and a five year Australian Research Council Fellowship at the University of New South Wales in 2004. In recent years he has moved into oral history, deploying this method to understand how individuals are shaped by history – as well as shaping it. The historical construction of the self fascinates him, and he has taken this interest into his other (part-time) life as a psychotherapist. Reynolds has written on psychoanalytic theory, but he comes at this more as a practitioner than an academic.
