All About Whammy Bars
Dave Hunter
Guitarists tend to come from three schools far as vibrato tailpieces, or "whammy bars," are concerned: those who can't live without them, those who can't live with them, and those who tolerate them on their guitars, but rarely touch them—either for reasons of style, or for fear of spiraling out of tune. Love 'em or loathe 'em, vibrato tailpieces do change the sound of any guitar they're mounted on, even when they're not in use. If you do actually want to use one, however, and thereby indulge in the world of manual pitch-bend effects these ingenious contraptions can offer, it pays to know something about the form and function of the different types of vibrato systems that are available.
Let's take this journey in semi-chronological order, starting off with the most popular blueprints for vibrato tailpieces of the past 60 years. The first widely available unit was the Bigsby Vibrato, which inventor/luthier Paul Bigsby introduced in 1951. It has a limited travel, works best for down bends only, and most players agree it alters the core tone of the guitar it is mounted on. That said, it does its thing pretty darn well, and has remained a staple for retro-style players and rockabilly guitarists in particular. Bigsby models are available for use with just about any type of separate bridge that would normally be paired with a trapeze or stop-bar tailpiece, as well as Bigsby's own floating "rocker bridge", and there are even versions for Fender Telecasters. The simplest Bigsby types—originally used on archtop guitars— feature a round steel bar that rotates in bearing-loaded cups at either side of its cast aluminum frame. The strings' ball ends are held by pins affixed to the bar, and the detuning action occurs when the player slackens the strings by depressing the arm attached to the roller bar. A single, side-mounted vertical spring assists the roller bar in returning the strings to pitch when the arm is released. More advanced Bigsby models, such as the B5 (for solidbody guitars) and B7 (for semi-acoustics) also have a rolling "tension bar" under which the strings pass on their way to the bridge. This increases the break angle over the saddles, and, along with it, the downward pressure of the strings into the bridge and body.
Whatever type of Bigsby you encounter, they all offer about the same amount of limited downward bend—about a semi-tone at best. A Bigsby isn't for deep dive bombs or Jeff Beck-style pitch mangling, but it's great for subtle but emotive vibrato effects. Set up correctly, a Bigsby usually returns to pitch pretty well, but the weak points are the components it needs to cooperate with. The bridge saddles and the nut need to be hitchfree and in good condition to help keep the tuning stable.
Arguably the most inspired—and undoubtedly the most copied—vibrato unit in the world is the Fender Stratocaster vibrato, which remains extremely popular today, both in its original and modified forms. Originally dubbed the "Synchronized Tremolo" (remember, it was created by the same guys who called the tremolo effect on so many of their amps "vibrato"), Fender's first vibrato was designed specifically for the Stratocaster guitar, which debuted in 1954. It's an impressive and surprisingly intricate feat of engineering, too, accounting for matters of string height and intonation, sustain, resonance, virtual body mass and more, all in a single unit. The Strat vibrato's six-screw fulcrum point and rear-loaded springs enable the kinds of serious down bends and, when set up right, a semi-tone of up-bend too, that just aren't possible on a Bigsby. On top of all that, it carries individual saddles that are independently adjustable for both height and intonation, something that even Gibson's hallowed Tune-o-Matic bridge didn't achieve.
A Strat vibrato needs to be in good condition and set up right (usually by a professional) to provide its best return-to-pitch capabilities, but when properly maintained and partnered with a nut in equally good condition, it's an impressive performer. Even with all of Fender's clever engineering regarding the inertia block (or sustain block) that's mounted to the bottom of the bridge plate to replace lost body mass and compensate for weaker string/bridge/body coupling, this tailpiece still alters the tone of any guitar it is mounted into. For many players, the resultant compressed, slightly "rubbery" attack and easy bending feel are part of the appeal of the Stratocaster, and have certainly become a component of classic electric blues tones. Others hear a loss of solidity and resonance in this, and some—Eric Clapton, for one— even go to the extent of locking their Strat vibratos in place by jamming a wooden wedge between the block and body.
Some later Fender Stratocasters, as well as guitars from other makers, have also carried updated versions of this vibrato design. Most often seen on the American Standard Stratocaster and, later, American Series Stratocaster (but also in designs from the likes of Wilkinson, Gotoh, and plenty of others), these units feature block-style or die-cast stainless-steel saddles, dual pivot posts (rather than six screws), into which are set the knife-edge slots of the bridge base, and modified saddle height and intonation adjustments. The aim here is to improve the performance of the original vintage Stratocaster vibrato, and some players also hear what they describe as a little more clarity or definition in the tone of guitars equipped with these updated units. Shop around, and you'll find a dizzying array of variations on Fender's seminal vibrato unit. Many of them offer arguably enhanced performance, although the original item still works perfectly well for countless guitarists.
Even before the arrival of these modified Strat designs, however, the Floyd Rose and other "double-locking" vibratos were introduced in the late '70s, and became hugely popular in the wake of Eddie Van Halen's extreme dive-bombing maneuvers. For a time, the deep-bend performance and impressive tuning stability of these vibratos were requisites of heavy rock, and it seemed like few guitarists of the genre could do without a Floyd or Kahler system, or some licensed version of the same. These totally re-engineered designs were revolutionary not for their own inherent sound, but for the sounds and playing styles they enabled. They were���and still are—complex mechanisms compared to the vintage-style Strat vibrato they evolved from, and require a lot of moving parts to do their jobs. With a double- locking vibrato, the strings are locked down at both ends using screw-down clamps. The bridges typically offer extended travel, as well as some modification of the fulcrum point of the traditional Strat vibrato, often seen as a two-post and knife-edge system not unlike the more modern Fender units mentioned above. The fact that strings are secured at both the nut and saddle, however, means that restringing and even retuning can be a hassle (although fine-tuners in the saddles help out a lot here), and they can be difficult to set up in the first place.
Some locking vibratos have a reputation for a being either thin or bright sounding (or both), but when correctly installed they are usually sonically neutral. In any case, the types of guitars that have them are most often used with high-gain distortion for heavy rock and shred playing, so tonal considerations will usually be assessed as such. Ultimately, a player's decision whether to go with a Floyd or not will usually have more to do with functionality than tone.
One of the most popular modifications of the vintage Strat vibrato comes in the form of the Paul Reed Smith vibrato. This system, originally manufactured for PRS by Mil Com, seeks to address two of the main drawbacks of the '50s unit by offering wider travel and improved tuning stability. Some elements aimed at achieving this include string ball-end seats that are drilled deeper into the underside of the inertia block (resulting in less dead string length behind the saddles), and the notching of the six pivot posts to receive the knife-edge-fine holes in the base plate. PRS also recognized, as did the double-locking brigade, that a big part of a vibrato's efficiency has to do with the hardware at the other end of the neck, and have included a friction-reducing graphite-style nut and locking tuners to complete the package.
Along with these popular vibratos, a few other less-hallowed designs have also seen use through the years. Gibson's Maestro Vibrola, a simple bent-steel-spring tailpiece, proved more effective (and remains more popular) than the short-lived and more complex Sideways Vibrola that preceded it. Fender's "new and improved" Floating Tremolo, as seen on the Jazzmaster and Jaguar is still a favorite of many surf, garage, and indie players, while the somewhat awkward little Mustang vibrato unit has its fans, as does the single-spring Burns Vibrato, which saw use on some entry level '60s Gretsch models, such as the Corvette. Simple or complex, however, most classic-style vibratos can only work their best when the strings move smoothly across the nut slots and saddles as you move the bar. So keep those slots slick and clean and your saddles smooth and tight to ensure reliable performance as you wiggle that whammy to add color and drama to your sound.

We Are a College at War
Women Working for Victory in World War II
Mary Weaks-Baxter, Christine Bruun, and Catherine Forslund
E-book (Other formats: Hardcover)
6 x 9, 20 illustrations
We Are a College at War weaves together the individual World War II experiences of students and faculty at the all-female Rockford College (now Rockford University) in Rockford, Illinois, to draw a broader picture of the role American women and college students played during this defining period in U.S. history. It uses the Rockford community's letters, speeches, newspaper stories, and personal recollections to demonstrate how American women during the Second World War claimed the right to be everywhere—in factories and other traditionally male workplaces, and even on the front lines—and links their efforts to the rise of feminism and the fight for women's rights in the 1960s and 1970s.
Mary Weaks-Baxter, the Hazel Koch Professor of English at Rockford University, is the author of Reclaiming the American Farmer: The Reinvention of a Regional Mythology in Twentieth-Century Southern Writing.
Christine Bruun is a professor emerita of psychology and a former department chair at Rockford University.
Catherine Forslund, a professor of history at Rockford University, is the author of Anna Chennault: Informal Diplomacy and Asian Relations.
"This book provides welcome insight into an overlooked aspect of World War II—its connection to higher education. Focusing on Rockford College, the alma mater of Jane Addams, and providing a national context, the authors provide a fascinating story of how the war changed this women's college, and how college students, staff, and faculty contributed to the war effort in diverse ways." —Susan Hartmann, author of The Home Front and Beyond: American Women in the 1940s
"Mary Weaks-Baxter, Christine Bruun, and Catherine Forslund bring to center stage the half of the Greatest Generation that usually gets short shrift in the history books, and show how these women—heroic and patriotic in their own right—stepped up in a time of war. They also clearly demonstrate how, whether consciously or not, these women carried on the legacy of early twentieth-century suffragists, and sowed the seeds that flowered into the feminist movement in the 1970s."—Emily Yellin, author of Our Mothers' War: American Women at Home and at the Front during World War II
"We Are a College at War succeeds in uncovering many ways that Rockford women responded to the calls of their college, and their country, to support the war. Documenting the range of their responses, this book enriches historians' understanding of the war era and provides a useful case study.—The Councilor: The Journal of the Illinois Council for the Social Studies

The committee has said it spent at least $1.5 million at the Fairmont, a Washington hotel owned by the conglomerate AccorHotels. Barrack's investment firm Colony Capital owned a roughly 5 percent stake in AccorHotels at the time of the inaugural, which it sold soon after. AccorHotels is run by a longtime former Colony executive. The inaugural spent as much or more at the Fairmont as it did at the Trump International, the Times reported.

Amplifying Spooky Voices: Mystery Podcasts
While some of you surely indulge in the spooky and scary all year round, October is widely considered to be the only socially acceptable time to immerse yourself in the morbid, macabre, and all-around mysterious. Some prefer to marathon scary movies, others prefer to binge terrifying TV, and others like to spend their Halloween season with a page-turning, heart racing horror novel or two. You can't forget about podcasts, though. There are all sorts of great mystery podcasts out there that are sure to get you in the Halloween spirit. These are some of our favorites.
Serial (This American Life)
While mysterious crime podcasts had been around long before Serial was released to the public in the fall of 2014 (October 3rd, to be exact), there's no denying the fact that journalist and host Sarah Koenig and her This American Life spinoff series completely changed the genre from that point forward. Creating a pandemonium of sorts that led millions of listeners to scramble to learn everything they could about its central murder-mystery, Serial is an absolute must-listen for any of you who are interested in podcasts that tell confounding true stories that few people know the real facts about.
Learn how to share specific audio clips of podcasts using Backtracks.
My Favorite Murder (Exactly Right)
Just because a podcast is mysterious doesn't mean it also has to be serious. My Favorite Murder is proof of this: Hosts Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark tell each other their favorite murder-mystery stories and take stories from listeners, too, joking around and making each other laugh through it all. The two are true crime fanatics, and their podcast takes this love of the genre and practically creates a whole new one — One that feels like talking (and cracking jokes) about your favorite mysteries with your best friend instead of listening to a professional journalist tell them to you instead. With nearly 450 episodes under their belt so far — a truly staggering number, no doubt — the real mystery is wondering how long it'll take you to get through it all (and trust us, you'll want to).
Paper Ghosts (iHeartRadio)
Despite what you might think based off of the title, iHeartRadio's Paper Ghosts is not about the supernatural.As a matter of fact, Paper Ghosts is firmly rooted in reality. Still, the central mystery at its core feels as unbelievable as any ghost story: four different cases involving four different girls, all missing from their neighboring New England towns within the same small period of time between the mid to late 1970s. The investigation into their mysterious disappearances took decades, but host and investigative journalist M. William Phelps covers it all in just six incredibly gripping episodes.
Dateline NBC (NBC News)
As one of the most preeminent voices in television true crime, it was only a matter of time before Dateline made the move to the world of podcasting. Simply titled Dateline NBC, this NBC News production creates podcasts that range anywhere from 40 minutes to over an hour and a half — ideal for those of you who can really dedicate the time to dive deep into a mystery or two. Like the television show itself, each episode follows a different true crime mystery featuring key interviews with the real people who were actually involved. If long-form podcasts with high production value are your thing, then this is the show for you.
Lore (Grim & Mild)
There's nothing more mystifying than a well-told story about a perplexing event. That's what makes Lore, a podcast from Aaron Mahnke and Grim & Mild, work so well. With over 150 episodes to their name, Lore is so good at covering life's most confounding mysteries that they've even spawned a two-season TV show and a series of books spinning off from the podcast. Covering anything from unbelievable creatures to horrifying events to strange locales, you won't believe that Lore prioritizes fact over fiction.
In the Red Clay (Imperative Entertainment)
During his lifetime, Billy Sunday Birt was considered to be the most dangerous man in all of Georgia history. In the Red Clay, Imperative Entertainment's latest (and most mysterious) true crime podcast, seeks to explain why. Still unraveling the threads of the narrative with a new episode every Tuesday, In the Red Clay takes its time as it twists and turns through the life and the mystery of Birt and his time in the Peach State. By the time this podcast is through, one thing is for certain: Billy Birt and his Dixie Mafia will be hard to shake from the forefront of your mind.
Unsolved Murders (Parcast)
Parcast's podcasts are known for covering various wide-ranging subjects with incredible skill. Unsolved Murders is one of the best examples of this. Each episode takes on a different cold case, with many requiring two parts to cover the whole scope of the mystery of the week. Their hosts are top notch and their vast collection of over 230 episodes have enough content for you to keep busy for the duration of this October and many more Octobers to come. From serial killers to random slayings to the most puzzling true crime stories imaginable, Unsolved Murders definitely deserves to be one of your staples for this spooky season.
The Vanished (Wondery)
A running theme throughout these podcasts is clearly the subject of missing people. Easily one of the most disturbing and frightening parts of the underbelly of America, it's important to note that over 600,000 people go missing each and every year here in the U.S. The Vanished, put out by Wondery, proves to be impressively comprehensive at this shocking fact. Going past your typical surface-level news report to get at the deep, dark truth of the disappearances, The Vanished is both an engrossing mystery podcast and a valiant effort to bring answers to the families of those impacted most by these stories of missing persons. Host Marissa Jones is doing essential work here, that's for sure.
Someone Knows Something (CBC Podcasts)
It's the overarching phrase that any investigator will tell you is at the heart of every unsolved mystery: someone knows something. That's where CBC Podcasts' Someone Knows Something gets its name. No matter what the crime, no matter what the murder, no matter what the circumstance, someone somewhere has to know something about what happened at the scene. Host David Ridgen searches for answers by interviewing as many people related to the cold case as he can, hoping to find out who's harboring the secrets that could finally bring some peace of mind to the families and friends of the victims. With six different subjects so far, Ridgen dedicates an entire season to one specific case and gets as thorough as he possibly can.
Whether you're looking for other scary podcasts to listen to this October or you're in search of a completely different (and possibly more lighthearted) genre of podcast entirely, Backtracks has got all of your podcast needs completely covered. Regardless of if you're wanting to listen to something funny, something movie or television-related, or you're looking for something newsworthy and thought-provoking, there's plenty of excellent podcasts on our site as well as many great curated podcast collections like this one over on our blog. Check it out for yourself and be on the lookout for more spooky voices in podcasting coming soon!

J.A Bayona gently and impressively helms this adaptation of Patrick Ness' young adult novel, a peculiar film that's perhaps too dark for children but too soft for an adult audience.
Tom Ford's neo-noir is the definition of style over substance.
For a film celebrating difference, Gavin O'Connor's autistic assassin drama is disappointing normal.
Tom Hanks is back for another Robert Langdon adventure, but Inferno is significantly dumber and duller than previous instalments.


This woman moron is insane. A heartbeat, any heartbeat, is proof of life. It is not now, nor has it ever been just sounds. This is just some idiotic excuse for women to MURDER their babies. At the very least, a woman who has chosen to abort her unborn child needs to be honest with herself. Women invent stupid rationalizations for making this killing okay and it will come back to haunt them later on. At least admit what you're doing. You are choosing to kill a human being with a heartbeat.
If a member of our own family, (mother, father, child) was in the hospital in intensive care, how important would the sound of a heartbeat be then? Would any doctor say, "Oh, don't worry, that sound you hear that sounds like a heartbeat is just some obscure sound the body makes on it's own."? Or if an ambulance is called to help someone after a horrific car accident says, "Oh don't worry, we don't need to rush your unconscious, bloody husband. That regular beat we're hearing is just a bunch of sounds. It doesn't mean he's still alive." Duh!
Murder is murder! Abortion is legalized murder, so I guess its okay to make any excuse you can to rationalize your actions.
Oh wait, it's Sheila Jackson-Lee saying this. It must be because of racism. I'm just waiting for her to say this law is unjust because its racist. That's usually her answer for everything.

Getting a job in this tight economy necessitates making a great first impression, which leaves little-to-no room for typos and other résumé mistakes. The Washington Post details some ways to help outline your credentials more accurately.
While most of their suggestions aren't revolutionary (see: printing out your résumé), one of their tips seems like an interesting way to help avoid glaring errors. According to the post, prospective employees should review their résumés from the bottom up. The writer contends that this backwards approach will more fully ensure that you don't skip over sections, as opposed to reading from the top down, which may lead to skimming more readily than working your way up.

Why Sustainable Mobility Will be Fuelled by Hydrogen Technology
Article by Randy MacEwen, President & CEO
This is an exclusive blog written by Ballard Power Systems President and CEO Randall MacEwen.
In June 2017, Mr. MacEwen had the opportunity to share Ballard's vision for worldwide hydrogen mobility with an enthusiastic audience at the Hydrogen + Fuel Cells Summit in Vancouver, BC. This blog is based off of that presentation.
Air pollution is often characterized as dirty factory smokestacks belching out big, billowing black clouds of toxins. But that isn't the entire picture.
In many countries, over 30% of air pollutants can be traced to vehicles, making sustainable mobility issues more urgent than ever.
Current mobile sources of pollution—the exhaust from cars, buses, planes, trucks and trains—contain harmful toxins that are breathed in by unsuspecting populations on a daily basis leading to serious and impactful health issues.
The Search for Sustainable Transport Solutions
With vehicle exhaust topping the air pollutant list in many regions of the globe, cities are looking for solutions for this growing problem. For example, London plans to introduce an ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ) in 2019, which will require all vehicles in the area to meet exhaust emission standards or pay a daily fee to travel through the area.
London, as well as other world cities like Paris, Mexico City and Amsterdam, have committed to taking diesel buses off their streets by 2025.
The search for answers has brought with it opportunities for identifying sustainable mobility solutions. The electrification of transportation is progressing quickly. Fuel cell cars are hitting the road, with major automakers such as Toyota, Honda and Hyundai. In fact, Toyota, Hyundai and Honda together expect to lease over 1,000 fuel cell vehicles in the U.S. in 2017.
In addition, Ballard is working with automotive OEMs such as Volkswagen Group and Audi to help them advance their own fuel cell programs.
Sparking new infrastructure
Hydrogen infrastructure is now being developed in many regions: with almost 50 hydrogen filling stations in operation today in California and 100 stations expected to be up and operating in Germany between 2018 and 2019. Japan expects to have 160 hydrogen filling stations operating by 2020.
The need for sustainable fuel alternatives is perhaps no more evident than in China, where densely populated areas face severe and growing threats from air pollution.
China is planning 300 hydrogen filling stations by 2025, with 1,000 such stations expected to be up and running by 2030, illustrative of the country's growing need for fuel cell technology.
In addition, Ballard currently works with China to help fulfill the need for more sustainable mobility by:
providing ongoing shipments of more than 300 FCveloCity(R) powered buses in Foshan and Yunfu, China.
supplying strategic partner Zhongshan Broad-Ocean Motor Co., Ltd. with 10,000 commercial fuel cell vehicles that will be deployed in its China vehicle leasing business.
developing programs to supply 200 kilowatt engines to power urban light rail vehicles for China's CRRC Corporation Ltd., the world's largest train manufacturer.
This increase in volume production for fuel cells will continue to push down the cost of fuel cell power modules, which in turn continues to make the technology more commercially available.
Developing policies for the future
More and more cities and nations are finding ways to address air pollution and dwindling fossil fuel supplies by implementing sustainable transportation systems, including hydrogen fuel cell technology. However, the urgent need for policymakers to get on board, as well as the need to create more public-private partnerships to advance this technology is becoming all the more evident.
One such partnership, the Hydrogen Council, was formed in January 2017 and is made up of 13 global industry leaders committed to accelerating the development and commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cells. The council's current investment in fuel cell sectors is estimated at 1.4 billion Euros per year.
30 by 30: The way forward
We believe that 30 percent of all commercial electric vehicles will be using a fuel cell as soon as 2030.
But it will take more than 13 industry leaders.
The fuel cell industry needs to continue its investment in technologies and products to reduce the life cycle cost. We also need to collaborate further to reduce the cost of the hydrogen powertrain, which can be achieved through sharing of key components, such as compressors, hydrogen sensors, and tanks.
The industry must also work to continue to attract the best and the brightest, to spur continuous breakthroughs and advancements. A robust eco-system to make hydrogen fuel available at a competitive price has to be an overriding goal.
But it isn't just the responsibility of the fuel cell industry. Policy makers at all levels of government need to get involved sustainable mobility planning. Cities should choose fuel cell technologies whenever commercially available for transit buses and other city fleets.
Hydrogen should have a place within government emission reduction and electrification plans. And where needed, subsidies should be made available to bridge the gap to commercialization.
Advancement of fuel cell technology and all the benefits it brings is possible. But it takes leadership from our industry stepping forward and working together to have 30% of commercial electric vehicles powered by fuel cells by 2030.
What do we need to do as an industry, and what do communities need to do to get over the hump to wide-scale adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology?
How can communities and industry leaders better engage policymakers and cities around the adoption of the technology?

Seniority-wise, Senate Majority Leader Vicente "Tito" Sotto III is set to succeed Senate President Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III. This can happen within this year, Senator Panfilo Lacson said. He cites that both seem to have an "agreement" that the Senate would respect. However, the senators deny this at this time but assure the public that they would soon talk. Previously, Senator Sotto reveals that he has reliable sources that can shed light on the anomalies of the 2016 election that is now the subject of the ongoing VP recount. The change of leadership can definitely give Bongbong Marcos an upper hand against Vice President Leni Robredo.
[VIDEO]: Bukas daw si Sen. Tito Sotto kung sakaling ipasa sa kanya ang liderato sa Senado.
Senator Lacson estimates that the change in Senate leadership may happen in June or July, or in October at the latest. He speaks logically based on the legal process. Pimentel needs to give up his post for his re-election bid. Sotto is next in line in terms of experience.
In previous reports, Lacson said the Senate will respect the agreement between the two if there's any. However, Pimentel is yet to talk to Sotto on this matter. Sotto also confirms that there is no direct indication yet on that issue. There must be a caucus because two parties cannot decide only by themselves.
Pimentel said there is "no agreement" yet. However, he added: "But will talk to Senator Sotto immediately upon arrival from Europe. Then hold majority caucus." He is ready to vacate the post once the required 13 votes are reached. This pronouncement jives with Sotto's thoughts. Therefore, it is likely to happen really soon.
Like Pimentel, Sotto is a staunch ally of President Rodrigo Du30. The only difference is, there's no doubt of his loyalty whereas Pimentel can be "friendly" to the Liberal Party members. Sotto also is the most senior among all senators and has more core allies in the chamber than Pimentel, whose only party mate is neophyte Senator Manny Pacquiao. Sotto definitely gets the nod of the majority with his expose and exchanges against the unpopular VP.
After the Supreme Court, acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal or PET ordered Bongbong Marcos and Vice President Leni to pay a total of P81.46 million for the Marcos election protest, the latter said that he will protest not to say whereas Leni Robredo's camp said that they will issue a statement after the holidays.
The tribunal's rules mandated that the cash for the protest and counter-protest is P500 for each precinct involved to bring the contested ballot boxes and election documents for the recount. Marcos requested for a manual recount of 36,365 clustered precincts while he requested for the annulment of the results of 2,756 clustered precincts. The total 38,221 clustered precincts are composed of 132,446 precincts.
In a resolution, the tribunal required Marcos to deposit a total of P66,223,000 for the 132,446 precincts. Meanwhile, Robredo was ordered to pay P15,639,000 for the 31,278 precincts included in her counter-protest. Both camps are required to pay the cash deposit in two installments on or before Good Friday, April 14 and July 14.
Senator Panfilo Lacson questioned a Supreme Court's order asking the Vice Presidential rivals in the Marcos election protest to pay millions of pesos for the case to continue with the case. He calls it a system flaw that needs to be corrected.
Lacson explained that the winner of an election who is already harassed with a poll protest or cheated must not be made to pay an enormous amount of money to be proclaimed the winner. This is a flaw in Tthe system, Lacson thinks. "Therefore, I will study and propose legislation to correct that flawed system on electoral protests," he said. So, further delay in the Marcos electoral protest can certainly be expected.

Glutamate Formimidoyltransferase: $A PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE-$containing enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a formyl group from L-GLUTAMATE to N-formimidoyl-L-glutamate and TETRAHYDROFOLATE. This enzyme may also catalyze formyl transfer from 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to L-GLUTAMATE. This enzyme was formerly categorized as EC 2.1.2.6.


Las Vegas homebuilders have more than doubled their land purchases this year amid rising sales and prices, a new report shows.
Builders closed 863 new-home sales in Clark County last month, up 36 percent from April 2017, and fetched a median sales price of $374,440, up 11 percent year-over-year, according to a report out Friday from Home Builders Research.
They also pulled 1,047 building permits in April, up 28 percent from a year earlier and marking the first time since 2007 that local builders pulled more than 1,000 permits in two consecutive months.
Underscoring their "rush to attempt to meet the demand for new homes … and the increased confidence in the market," builders acquired about 675 acres of land this year through April, Home Builders Research President Andrew Smith and founder Dennis Smith wrote.
That's up from 315 acres during the same four-month period last year, the Smiths reported.
They expect "even larger pieces to be picked up" by builders this year, they wrote, given that such master-planned communities as Summerlin and Skye Canyon are releasing new phases, and other communities, such as Valley Vista and the Villages at Tule Springs, are opening for business.
Land buyers this year include Texas builder D.R. Horton, which in late January and early February acquired 200 acres in North Las Vegas' 600-acre Valley Vista project.
D.R. also picked up 63 acres at Las Vegas Boulevard and Starr Avenue, near the M Resort, last month for a 299-unit condo development.

Honda has always been one of those brands that keep producing very good cars. They are in no way a one hit wonder, because they keep bashing out new and improved versions, and sometimes new cars completely. They really set the bar high with the adored and idolised Honda Civic, and then they went and completely obliterated the challenge by producing one of the worlds first fully functional and actually usable hydrogen powered cars. Thanks to their philosophy about the power of dreams, they seem to remain largely undaunted by all the trials and tribulations that face the automotive industry on a day to day basis, which leaves them with the time and ability to turn their weirdest and most wonderful ideas into an amazing reality.
One of there most interesting cars at the moment is the Honda CR-Z. This isn't one of their most ridiculous creations - you can actually find these in used Honda dealerships, after all - but I think it is a car that really shouldn't be overlooked as much as it is. After all, if nothing else it is a beautiful car, stylish and strangely akin to that famous cousin (brother?) of its, the Honda Civic. Everyone has watched the evolution of the Civics design for years, and it is clear that Honda believe it to be attractive, aerodynamic and sporty. As such, they seem to be happily rolling it out to other models autointhebox coupon code, making them all tie together really neatly.
The CR-Z is a very different car to the Civic when it comes down to it, however. It is, after all, a petrol hybrid, and as such is built more for practicality and ease than for speed and extreme levels of power. I actually prefer this - it makes far more practical sense to have a car that drives beautifully (it is a Honda, after all), and which delivers a decent level of fuel economy too.
Being a hybrid you would expect some impressive mileage figures, as this is always being pushed as the reason to have a hybrid car. However, a lot of them seem to completely miss the point, and despite of (or in spite of) the hybrid technology they tend to deliver largely disappointing and unimpressive figures. Thankfully the CR-Z isn't yet another one of these cars - they actually manage to give you some bang for your buck. The figures specifically report a combined miles per gallon of 56.5 in the 1.5 litre option - no mean feat!
Add to that the fact that the Honda CR-Z comes with a couple of other versions too, and the CR-Z suddenly becomes surprisingly tempting. Personally I would want the GT version for performance and drive alone, but generally speaking each of the three options are sporty and efficient. That makes them suddenly a worthy consideration when setting out to find your next car, when perhaps the thought of buying a CR-Z would never have even crossed your mind before x431 pro mini. This may well be the most tempting hybrid on the market!

Despite the fact that construction machinery is an important component of construction work, it can抰 be bought every time a new construction takes place due to the cost factor involved in it. It is therefore understandable that used construction machinery is brought in use while construction process takes place. Most small scale construction companies hire used machines in construction work as they are cost effective.
Used construction machinery may be used in various constructions such as roads, tunnels, canals, airports, dams, buildings and bridges.
 Used construction machinery reduces cost.
 Not only does it give you immediate reduction in operational cost but, in the long run, the wear and tear of new machinery makes it more expensive. Wear and tear cost is not only reduced in operation of the machine but also in long distance transfers.
 Since such machines are easily available on rent, you can use a separate machine in a good condition whenever you start a construction work on a new site and return the machine when the work is complete Autel MaxiSys Pro.
 Along with the cost launch x431 pro plus, it also saves time. You do not need to wait for the machine to reach to your workplace before starting work. Just get the machines from the nearest vendor and start the work. Even your workforce can work on the old machines more freely giving you the maximum output.
But all these advantages are useful if you take proper care of the machines and keep them ready for use whenever they are required. Moreover, you also need to be careful in case you plan to buy such machinery. You must make sure that the product is in good condition. We have some sites like www.equipment-planet.com for Indian used construction machinery who deals in pan India Buying/selling/ Renting construction equipments.
Doing occasional tune ups and taking car of your car is nothing new. You will always need to maintain your car even if it抯 old or brand new, with oil changes and checking the engine. So it would be better for you financially to choose good quality second hand parts.

You can look for the parts in the classified ads Autel MaxiPRO MP808TS, check different shops that would sell the parts or the easier way would be to go and surf on the internet. It would save you time and effort.
There was time when these parts could only be found at the dealerships and mechanic stores. Now searching for used parts isn抰 that抯 hard as long as you remember a few things. You should know exactly what you need, what part goes with your car etc?Once you know what part you need you can figure out how much you are willing to pay for the part. Some parts don't have to be the original. There are parts that can be bought at surplus or a compatible part from another car make and model enabling can be used making a person save money for other things.
Once you get all the information you need you can check out either local shops or dealers. You can also go check out junk yards, because a lot of parts there can be used again. Or searching the internet where you could also order the parts and it would be delivered.

He doesn't need to opt for another alternative because he can buy a used Audi car that easily suits to his budget and this is the main reason; the used car market is expanding for used cars in India.
From the last few years the demand of used cars in India has increased 20-30% estimated and the reason is the affordability launch x431 pro mini. Infact, buying a car from the used car market can be a more affordable option in comparison to a brand new showroom because affordable rates, excellent design, style and space has made it one of the most promising options for a buyer.

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S Beats the Tesla Model S P100D In Performance Tests
Wade Thiel October 17, 2019
Vox Automobili Tested the Cars
The Tesla Model S P100D and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S are well-suited rivals. The German publication Vox Auto Mobil wanted to put the cars through their paces to see which would actually perform better in a variety of tests. To put it plainly, the Porsche Taycan won and Tesla fans are unhappy.
There were two main tests. The first was an emergency directional maneuver test in the wet. The Tesla struggled during the test and suffered from considerable understeer. It was unable to stay between the cones and complete the test. The Porsche, on the other hand, not only was able to do the test but was able to complete it at 97 km/h, which was 7 km/h faster than the Tesla was going when it failed.
The second test was a drag race. They did two different ones. One in the wet, and one in the dry. In the dry, the Tesla actually seemed a bit quicker off the line, in the wet it didn't do as good as the Porsche. Needless to say, Tesla fans were not thrilled with the results and left numerous comments on YouTube expressing their belief the tests were rigged.
We don't know if they were or not, but you can view the full episode by clicking here. If you want to see the teaser for the tests, you can check out the video below.

Lordre de Sainte-Ursule est un ordre religieux catholique fondé en  à Brescia en Lombardie (Italie) par sainte Angèle Mérici (1474-1540). Il se consacre principalement à l'éducation des filles ainsi qu'aux soins des malades et des nécessiteux dans de nombreuses maisons qui en vinrent à être appelées couvents des Ursulines.

Histoire

Fondation
Contrairement aux congrégations catholiques de cette époque, la compagnie de Sainte-Ursule fondée par Angèle Merici est une nouvelle famille de religieuses non cloîtrées et n'ayant pas prononcé de vœu public. Ces sœurs sont donc, en fait, des laïques qui se rencontrent souvent pour des congrès et des actes de dévotion, mais ne vivent pas en communauté. Dans ses écrits, Angèle Merici ne donne aucune consigne concernant leur apostolat. Quatre ans après sa mort, la compagnie est reconnue par le pape Paul III. À la suite du concile de Trente (1545) entre autres, les Ursulines commencent à vivre en communautés retirées à Milan (1572) et à Avignon (1596). En 1572, le cardinal archevêque de Milan, saint Charles Borromée en modifie les institutions en soumettant les sœurs à la règle de saint Augustin. Les sœurs prononcent désormais des vœux et se voient imposer la vie commune. Elles se soumettent à l'autorité épiscopale. Le nouvel ordre ainsi créé est officiellement reconnu par Grégoire XIII. Seules les sœurs de Brescia conservent les institutions originales d'Angèle Merici. Le rayonnement des ursulines se répand en Amérique du Nord au , puis rapidement au monde entier.

Les différentes congrégations ursulines
Au ,  religieuses reconnaissent Angèle Mérici pour fondatrice : ordre religieux, congrégations, fédérations, maisons autonomes, institut séculier… parmi lesquelles :

Apostolat
Les Ursulines perpétuent l'œuvre d'éducation de leur fondatrice de manières diverses : accueil, établissements scolaires, accompagnement spirituel, dispensaires et aide aux plus pauvres.

Belgique
C'est un évêque suffragant qui établit les Ursulines à Liège en 1614, en provenance de Bordeaux, souhaitant renforcer l'enseignement catholique aux frontières de la Réforme. Elles se fixent au Pont-de-Torrent derrière Saint-Denis. En 1619, elles demeurent en Souverain-Pont à Lombard et enfin, en 1642, dans la rue Hors-Château où elles vont rester jusqu'à l'époque du Royaume-Uni des Pays-Bas en 1817. La dernière Ursuline de Liège, Marie-Madeleine Lovinfosse, est décédée à l'âge de 84 ans à cette date. La chapelle est construite en 1660.

Couvents de Belgique

Pays-Bas
Plusieurs couvents ont été fondés dans ce pays mais la Réforme puis les armées françaises apportant les idées révolutionnaires ont contribué à la disparition de ces institutions.
Le  à Ruremonde en est un exemple.

Allemagne
Les couvents belges vont ensuite s'installer en Allemagne.

Canada
Marie de l'Incarnation, ursuline de Tours, et deux consœurs arrivent en Nouvelle-France en 1639 pour fonder une maison à Québec, dont le but est d'instruire et de convertir au christianisme les petites Amérindiennes. Des monastères seront par la suite créés, principalement au Canada francophone, dans les villes et villages suivants (date de fondation entre parenthèses) :

France
Madeleine L'Huillier, veuve de Claude le Roux, sieur de Sainte-Beuve établit l'ordre des Ursulines dans le faubourg Saint-Jacques de Paris en 1608. Les Ursulines deviennent alors un ordre cloîtré et ajoutent les trois vœux ordinaires à celui de se livrer à l'éducation des jeunes filles. L'ordre se propage rapidement en France : en 1668, on compte déjà  en France lui appartenant. Au cours des décennies suivantes l'ordre se développe à travers le royaume. Par exemple, les Ursulines s'installent à Laval en 1616, Quimper en 1621, en 1633 à Crémieu, en 1638 à Lignières et à Valenciennes en 1654.

À Valenciennes, la Révolution française n'a initialement qu'une faible incidence sur leur vie quotidienne. L'arrêté de 1792 signifiant la fermeture de tous les couvents dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais commence à les inquiéter.

En , l'armée de la République est sous la menace des coalisés. Valenciennes est occupé par les troupes autrichiennes et anglaises. Après quelques moments de calme, les Français remportent la bataille de Fleurus en  et reviennent à Valenciennes.

Un révolutionnaire nommé Lacoste entre à Valenciennes et procède à de nombreuses arrestations. En , les personnes arrêtées pour « crime d'émigration » et exercice d'une fonction interdite sous la protection de l'ennemi sont conduites à l'échafaud. Le nombre d'exécutions doit se situer autour de 60 à 70 personnes dont trente-sept prêtres, onze Ursulines, Brigittines et Urbanistes.

Dès 1792, réfugiées au couvent de Mons, six Ursulines rejoindront ensuite le couvent des Ursulines de Liège. Les onze Ursulines martyrisées furent béatifiées en 1920 par le pape Benoît XV.

En 1900, un nombre important de monastères français (installés en France ou à l'étranger) sont regroupés en un ordre international voué à l'apostolat : les Ursulines de l'Union romaine.

Suisse
La présence des Ursulines en Suisse se rattache à deux traditions bien distinctes.

Des groupes s'installent dès le  dans des localités de Suisse italienne afin de s'y consacrer à l'éducation de jeunes filles. Se rattachant directement à la tradition d'Angèle Merici, elles ne forment que rarement des communautés, enseignant par petits groupes dans leurs églises paroissiales respectives.  L'enseignement des ursulines est consacré à la doctrine chrétienne et est donné les jours de fête. Cette activité d'enseignement gratuite aux jeunes filles est d'une qualité inégalée dans les cantons protestants. Le but de ces enseignements est de préparer les femmes dans tous les rôles de la société civile. Le calcul, la lecture, le dessin, l'écriture, la broderie  et le tissage y sont enseignés, de même que « comment diriger une famille dans la vertu ».  Dans les régions où exercent les ursulines, le taux d'alphabétisation des femmes est élevé.  Durant la semaine, les ursulines offre un enseignement gratuit aux familles des classes moyennes et populaires . Dès 1867, les ursulines répondent aux demandes de l'État en diversifiant leurs écoles supérieures (gymnases, écoles sociales, de langues, de commerce, d'arts ménagers).

En Suisse occidentale, les Ursulines se rattachent à la tradition d'Anne de Xaintonge. Elles s'y installent usuellement à proximité de collèges jésuites.

The Lansing Soccer Club is suspending operation of the Tompkins County Soccer - Fall League (TCS-FL). The TCS-FL was created years ago as a stepping stone between very local recreational soccer programs and more competitive travel/club teams. With the creation of the Expressway Fall League by NYSWYSA last year, we saw a significant decrease in the number of teams entering TCS-FL and expect that downward trend to continue. Though it was a difficult decision to make, the Lansing Soccer Club decided at their April meeting that it did not make sense to offer the league in the Fall of 2014.
THE GOOD NEWS: Broome County Soccer Association (BCSA) plans to offer a new Fall League to compliment BCSA-Spring League. The Lansing Soccer Club believes that the wealth of experience that the BCSA has in running the well established BCSA Spring League will carry over to that organization's running of a successful fall league.
We encourage you to stay in communication with the BCSA via Bill Campbell <tripsdad@printswilliam.com> for details on their efforts to continue the Fall Soccer effort.

Book Review (Historical Handgun) – G-Man (2017, Stephen Hunter)
Posted by karlrehn on 12 October 2017, 3:43 pm
I've been developing a new course for KR Training, Historical Handgun, that teaches the history & evolution of defensive handgun skills. Part of that work includes reading as many old books on shooting technique as I can find.
Today's book is a work of fiction, but historical handgun (and submachine gun) shooting technique is an integral part of the story.
G-Man, written by Stephen Hunter, is a "could have happened that way" story about the fictional exploits of the Swagger family, multiple generations of soldiers and lawmen, all gifted shooters. The first book in the series, Point of Impact, about modern day character Bob Lee Swagger, was made into a movie (Shooter) and a spin off TV series (Shooter, on USA Network). There are multiple books in the Swagger family universe. Hunter has done several book signings in Texas, at Houston's Murder by the Book, and I have several signed Hunter hardbacks in my collection.
G-Man tells the story of Charles Swagger, grandfather to Bob Lee, and his adventures working for the FBI in 1934, chasing down famous machine gun gangsters Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger, and others. A secondary plot, set in the modern day, involves an aging Bob Lee Swagger and works in several other Swagger family members at various points.
Many of Hunter's recent books, like this one and the Third Bullet (about the JFK assassination), are carefully researched, with the plot woven around historical incidents. Hunter takes great care in getting the gun details right, diving deep into technical and historical nuances, working in historical figures from the gun culture. The reader gets to learn history and gun tech as part of the story, and the story depends on those details for key plot points.
Technique and Training
Firearms training, specifically Swagger's advocacy of two handed aimed fire, shooting at targets from different angles and positions, snap shooting against a clock, in a memo sent to FBI HQ – in opposition to the crouched hip shooting and one handed bullseye shooting that was actual FBI doctrine of that era – is discussed in detail, as Swagger trains officers working with him to turn them into gunfighters.
Hunter's gunfight depictions are detailed, often first person point of view, with the mechanics of aiming, firing, and reloading described in depth with the perspective only someone truly familiar with firearms can provide. (Unlike other action/thriller authors who are not only gun-ignorant but also anti-gun in their politics, such as Lee Child, the author of the Jack Reacher books, for example, Hunter is a true blue member of the gun culture: collector, shooter, historian.)
As appropriate for a book about 1934, the Thompson submachine gun in .45 ACP is used by good and bad men alike, and passage of the National Firearms Act (and its impact on legal sales of full auto guns) is woven into the plot as well.
Anyone interested in reading G-Man should probably start with Point of Impact, to become familiar with Bob Lee Swagger (the print version), and Hot Springs (the first book about Bob Lee's father Earl Swagger) before reading G-Man, to have more of the history of the Swagger family and content for events in G-Man to appreciate it fully. G-Man does include enough information that those new to the Swagger family saga can probably follow the story — but for those likely to enjoy G-Man, reading some of the earlier books in the series will be worth it.

The global family of Rehabilitation International has been consistently growing under the leadership of RI President Haidi Zhang, with 10 more national organizations and three associate member-organizations having joined RI.
The RI Executive Committee has approved in its meetings held in Beijing, China and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2017 and Hangzhou, China in 2018 the application of ten National Member-Organizations (NMO) namely the National Alliance of DPOs of Bangladesh, Fuhong Society of Macao, Chandelle Welfare Society for Special Persons of Pakistan, Child Welfare Scheme of Nepal, All-Russia Society of Disabled People, Braza Saude of Brazil, Federation for These Abled Persons in the Philippines, DEAFSKILLS International based in Russia but registered in the Netherlands, Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCRBT) and Potibondi Community Center of Bangladesh.
Three new organizations in Africa joined RI as Associate Member Organizations in the first half of 2018, namely, Berhan Lehatsanat, Harmee Education for Development Association and Cheshire Foundation Action for Inclusion – all based in Ethiopia.
RI President Haidi Zhang has repeatedly expressed her commitment to enable grassroots organizations of persons with disabilities and those who work with them, to be actively involved in the global work of Rehabilitation International.
As a woman with a disability born and raised in a developing country, Haidi Zhang understands the challenges faced by disabled persons, especially women and girl-children who face multiple and intersecting discrimination on account of their gender, poverty and disability. She has consistently asked RI officers, members and partners to share the examples of good practice developed by the organization in the last 96 years to make a dent in the lives of persons with disabilities consistent to the vision of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The 11th session of the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, one of the largest and most participatory international disability conferences, took place in the United Nations Headquarters in New York from 12 to 14 June 2018. The overarching theme of the session was "leaving no one behind through the full implementation of the CRPD", with three subthemes:1) national fiscal space, public-private partnerships and international cooperation for strengthening the implementation of the CRPD; 2) women and girls with disabilities; and 3) political participation and equal recognition before the law.
On 12 June, two rounds of elections were held, in accordance with Article 34 of the Convention, to elect nine members to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The following nine candidates were elected as members of the Committee whose terms will begin on 1 January 2019: Ms. Rosemary Kayess (Australia); Ms. Miyeon Kim (Republic of Korea); Ms. Gertrude Oforiwa Fefoame (Ghana); Mr. Jonas Ruskus (Lithuania); Mr. Markus Schefer (Switzerland); Mr. Danlami Umaru Basharu (Nigeria); Ms. Mara Cristina Gabrilli (Brazil); Ms. Amalia Eva Gamio Rios (Mexico); and Ms. Risnawati Utami (Indonesia).
During the 11th session, RI Global delivered its statement at the General Debate as an observer member of Civil Society, and co-organized three side-events pertaining to the challenges and opportunities for the full implementation of the CRPD in the coming years.
RI's side-event on Women and girls with disabilities in rural and remote settings.
RI in collaboration with CBM, Harvard Law School Project on Disability and UN DESA, hosted a side-event entitled "Including the most likely to be left behind: women and girls with disabilities in rural and remote settings". The side-event highlighted the situation of women and girls with disabilities in rural and remote locations in the Global South; and shared programmes, strategies, lessons learned, and best practices to reach and include women and girls with disabilities in rural and remote areas. Innovative approaches to promote access and inclusion for women and girls with disabilities were shared by representatives from the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, University of Malta, Harvard Law School, as well as NGOs from Vietnam, Israel and the BestCities Global Alliance. Ms. Haidi Zhang, President of Rehabilitation International, also gave a message, reiterating RI Global's strong commitment to leaving no one behind through reaching the furthest left behind, especially through RI Global's continued efforts in addressing the intersectionality of discrimination faced by women and girls with disabilities in the Global South (Ms. Zhang's full message here).
Norway's Deputy State Minister gave the opening remarks at RI's side event on Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities.
In close cooperation with the Government of Norway, RI also organized a side-event entitled "Inclusive education for persons with disabilities: from special schools to inclusive education". The event focused on how the policy and practice had changed in the education sector for persons with disabilities, namely, from special schools to be included in the school's learning community. It also highlighted the existing gaps between global policy frameworks and the practice on the ground for students with disabilities, and shared best practice and outcomes of inclusive education around the world.
On June 19, RI also co-organized a side event with UN women to highlight the urgency to advance the inclusion of women and girls with disabilities in the priorities of the work of UN Women. Entitled "Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women and Girls with Disabilities", the side-event was part of the activities during the UN Women's Annual Board Meeting held in New York. In her welcome remarks, Ms. Asa Regner, Deputy Executive Director of UN Women, said she was happy about the election of six women experts out of the nine new members of the CRPD Committee. Mr. Jouni Laaksone, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Mission of Finland to the UN also spoke about the contribution of disability movement in his country and his government's commitment to address inequality to ensure that persons with disabilities, especially women with disabilities, enjoy equal access to services and exercise their rights on an equal basis with others. He highlighted the initiative of the Finnish disability organization, Abilis Foundation, which has been providing support to grassroots organizations in developing countries, most of which are in Africa, to empower persons with disabilities in poverty through varies livelihood project to enable them be self-reliant.
Ten years after the Convention has come into force, while significant progress have been made for persons with disabilities, there is still a lot more need to be done, especially for persons with disabilities from the Global South. It is critical to note that 80% of the 1.5 billion persons with disabilities live in developing countries, andRI Global will strengthen its work towards the inclusion and access for all persons with disabilities through concrete initiatives that utilize the organization's experience and expertise from its 96 years of rehabilitation work across the world.
Members of the RI Project Management Committee and the RI Secretary- General met in New York to discuss on the implementation of RI's Global Disability Development Fund and Africa Fund.
The Conference of States Parties is held each year to advance the global discourse on the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and to engage broad participation from governments, civil society organizations and the UN system for the promotion of the rights, perspectives and leaderships of persons with disabilities.
