Review: Star Trek Discovery
On January 31, 2018 January 31, 2018 By gunnerlukeyIn Galaxy, Review, Sci-Fi, Star Trek, Uncategorized, UniverseLeave a comment
As you can see from my other posts, I naturally commentate on political proceedings but I like other forms of writing as I grow tiresome of the ebb and flow of the 'what will happen next' current affairs. I want to do a more lighthearted piece. So I thought about what I spend most of my time doing, watching TV! I gave the new Star Trek on Netflix a watch after being hesitant at first. Part of me felt like they'd ruin it but the better half of me wanted to be immersed in the Star Trek universe once more.
Well I was aggravated but not surprised at what was going to be obvious. Star Trek: TOS pushed boundaries for it's time mainly down to racial recognition, having one of the first regular stars in a TV show to be Black and one of the first interracial kisses (Kirk and Uhura) on TV (preceded by the kiss on none other than my grandmother's brainchild Crossroads). Which is all well and good but you could tell they were really going to force the issue in this series. The main character, Michael Burnham is a black female as lead (shocker…!) and then the over representation of minorities goes over board. Her Captain Georgiou is an Asian female, the ships doctor and chief engineer are gay together and the former is also a black male, as the story progresses Michael's love interest is an arabic male. I could go on but I won't, I understand that we live in a world where these things happen, but not on this scale and all in such close proximity. I'm a stickler for authenticity and realism in shows and this hums of pandering to liberal attitudes to shows that don't include minorities. I think it's quite insulting to the viewer to assume that most of the crew on board a secret ship are to be mostly made up of minorities especially in the chain of command. It feels so forced that it's unwatchable in certain episodes. The gay kiss served no purpose other than to say they put it in there, as they then (spoiler alert) kill off the doctor. Same with the party scene where they're stuck in a time loop, they inserted random lesbians making out into the scene. It's so in your face and the thing is you can almost bet that before this thing went to the editing suite, there was more random footage they cut.
Anyway, once you get passed the overt LGB & BME poster boys and girls, the storyline isn't all that bad. Discovery is a secret scientific vessel that has warp capabilities like no other. Although when you come to think about it, they did try and introduce transwarp in Star Trek III : Search for Spock, but Scotty disabled it and they left the idea alone. Which makes me think that the spore drive idea will be dumped soon too. Otherwise we will wind up in an alternate timeline away from the TOS timeline, which wouldn't make sense because they've already made links to it. For example (spoiler alert) Michael being Spock's adopted sister. Which is unlikely but still plausible because he didn't let anyone know about his crazy brother Sybok in Star Trek V : The Final Frontier.
The continuation from TOS in the sense that they've included the mirror universe with the Terran Empire, is one of the key plots that saves this series as it's hardwired in all Star Trek fans, we all 1) like the idea of the multi layered space/time continuum and 2) love the science behind it all. The mycelial (?) network is a stroke of genius as it creates that never ending feeling of the vast openness of space and/or the universe(s). That is the binding of the Star Trek family, to look up at the stars and have the yearning for exploration. There's still a pit in my stomach creating the feeling that this could become Voyager though, mainly because Discovery is missing from standard Star Trek history books, indicating that they will get derailed from the network and be stranded in an alien galaxy or gamma quadrant without the spore drive yadda yadda yadda you get the idea.
Moving on, (spoiler alert) great spin on the Lorca character turning out to be from the Terran Empire all along, yet again not surprising that the baddie turned out to be British and white (historically most American blockbusters have a British guy as the baddie, almost like they cling to the idea they have to relive beating the British colonial past over and over). From Die Hard (Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber) to Marvel Avengers (Tom Hiddlestone as Loki) there's always a white british guy being bad!
Going forward, there needs to be more fighting with the Klingons, as that is the main reason they picked this era. I'm not sure they have it in their budget to have another battle like the Binary Stars but it'd be good to see. Yet again I think they should kill off the other gay character as he is really annoying and condescending, you can tell he isn't a fan favourite. Although the show's new target audience might lap up his 'gay sassyness' which is really grating and yet again forced. I feel slightly let down as this was made by some of the same guys from Lost and have been involved with J J Abrahms in the past, which makes sense as he had control over the movie reboot. I just thought they'd pay more homage to the existing universe and try at least to keep the existing fans on side.
The one thing I did want to bring up was the 'new look' Klingons, which we got a glimpse of in Edge of Darkness. They have carried on with this but you wonder where the natural progression of the species comes into it. I know it's 100 years before Worf but how can they justify such an alteration to their genetic make up? I understand it's probably to save time in make up and easier on the actors but for continuity purposes it bugs me. But that's just me! Overall i'd give it a generous 7/10. Some of the acting props up my argument of them filling a quota rather than going for better actors. It didn't blow me away like the movie reboot but it's nice that it's in a series format, as I feel you get more out of it. However, it does have more of a movie feel to it, almost like they shot a 10 hour movie and spliced it into sections. Whereas in TNG or TOS, they went on a different mission every episode (apart from 2 part end of season finales obviously!), i'm sure it will calm down in the next few episodes, i'm up to date as of this post (episode 10 I think). I will probably turn out to be wrong, as I think they're slowly distancing themselves from the real trekkies and going for the new 'all inclusive' audience, which makes me want to dry heave.
If you're into sci-fi then give it a watch, if not then i'd avoid it like the plague as without the love of sci-fi it's probably unbearable to watch.
The Proverbial Echo Chamber

I've been studying and watching for a long time now. Rather than express my views and argue the point with reason and logic. Over time you begin to realise you don't make a difference. You also realise you can't cure stupid with words. Part of me wants to give up writing as I fear words don't carry the meaning they used too and I feel this is a direct result of the ever changing definition of words. Who decided that the government are the ones who change definitions of words? How are they qualified to do so? If there's one last great bastion of freedom for people like me, it's our gorgeously crafted language. For me, words carry power. The art of debate and discussion is lost in these times of offence and safe spaces. The last time I properly put the them to good use, was in the lead up to the referendum when I fought with remain supporters. We won. Yet I have watched as the dialogue became a monologue, when the words fell silent from the winning side. It seems that all was won at the time to most leave voters who had fought against the barrage of insults and the risk of alienating friends and even family members. I have experienced this first hand on both sides, I have also done my fair share of culling in the Facebook friends list. In doing so though I have started to create an echo chamber. The problem I have is that from what i've seen since these times, is there is no changing the minds of these people. Losing wasn't enough for them, whilst I admire their fighting spirit as it is synonymous with the British culture I hold dear, you have to know when to cut your loses and carry on.
It's one long drawn out saga that feels and sounds like a broken record. It's like being in the ring with the guy who does the slow get up at the count of 10 and says he's ready to fight again, even though the ref has bought an end to the fight, then he feels aggrieved at the outcome. I think a lot of it is denial, as the media portrayed it as a battle already won, purely because of their biased opinions which in turn created a skewed reality for the remain side in this. Cynicism gets the better of me here where I mention that if the media tells you something, usually you shouldn't believe it. Especially when they've already picked a side. To be fair it's what made the win so sweet, was that it was considered a foregone conclusion by all major media outlets. This brings me to the current state of affairs.
The narrative is yet again skewed as they concentrate solely on May and her government and their handling or lack of, in this case, of negotiations. Mainly because it was never argued or part of the discussion in the referendum. The referendum itself was about the issue and whether or not it should go ahead, not about the substance of the issue. To me, a leave voter, I knew exactly what I was voting for. What they term now as hard brexit. As I understand it, if any part of the union exists between us then you haven't technically left. What the remain voters want is to stay attached to the apron strings by staying in the customs union and single market, which is akin to saying "i'm leaving home" then moving into the shed at the end of the garden. Also what surprises me, is that the EU have proved the point I made all along about how they are, yet remain stay silent. These same people see how Poland and Hungary are being treated and how the EU are basically using communist regime tactics to punish the states. Also the fearsome rhetoric that emanates from Brussels of EU armies and nuclear weapons. I have started to call them the fourth reich. Especially after some of the language used by Merkel when she announced that a coalition has been formed recently, talking about a fresh start for Europe, implying that Germany was Europe or that she was the leader of Europe in some respect. Such disgusting remarks from a woman who single handed has dragged this continent into disarray. Stirring up religious and cultural resentment across Europe is nothing to be proud of. Her thinly veiled attempt at replacement migration will take years to sort out and has even made her make some u-turns in her policies. Germany is no leading light in modern day Europe, it's also no secret that the EU was created because of Germany and their thirst for lebensraum. Take a seat Angela.
Instead now we look to new 'leading' figures to show us the light and a solution to this nightmare we face. Strangely it has dropped in the lap of Poland. Their stance in standing up to the migrant quotas, even in the face of sanctions and public tensions with the EU is refreshing. They have become the new poster boys/girls of anti-EU sentiments, having taken the mantle from this toothless attempt at freedom by our majority remain cabinet. Same can be said of Viktor Orban, the PM of Hungary. I truly wish we had more politicians like him over here. He took a stand against this forced 'invasion' by erecting fences all along the border of his country and is trying to bill the EU for them, legend. Even though i'm not religious, Eastern European nations are taking a stand for Christianity in all forms and ensuring that the moral and cultural teachings that all of our lives are based on are protected and I have great admiration for that. Why is everyone on the other side so hellbent on trying to rip up our cultural roots? Is it out of what they perceive as guilt? It has been mentioned that some feel guilt over what European nations have achieved over the years with our colonial heritage. Taking a dim view that we offered nothing and took everything for ourselves. Can you not see that it has benefited every nation that it has touched? Have you noticed that most have wilted since we relinquished power? The only thing we didn't get right was trying to give them one of the cornerstones to our way of life, democracy. Democracy doesn't work in unadvanced countries. Whether it be down to the uncivilised factions that live in these countries that try to stunt the growth of the nation or whether they lack the understanding of the concept. With democracy comes power. Power in the hands of those untrained can only do damage. I won't go into detail as I actually plan on writing a book one day soon in regards to the Empire.
My only wish is for the leave side to rear it's ugly head and wipe remain out. I'm sick to death of sitting idly by as remain swallow whatever the soup of the day is with the mainstream media and speak as if they're in a position of authority on the matter, as there is clearly no leadership or voice for leave. I feel they have slightly lost their way and sick of fighting a war that's already won. It's sad that there was division sown by our own media, you can't blame either side for that. I'm holding out hope that this single issue is seen through to the end and not rerouted by the losing side. I'm coming back to the fray after taking some time out as I care about the future of this country and I can only see another war coming. We have a duty to lead the way and give others hope. Others like Hungary and Poland, we need to prove that it's possible to leave this autocratic union and live your life free from the shackles of directives and people telling you what to do. That's basically all the EU is, it's a bully. It's been taking our lunch money all this time and said we can sit at their table at lunch but only on the very end of the table as there's 27 others on the table and we can't have a say on what's for lunch. That's enough lunch metaphors as it's making me hungry.
You'll be hearing from me soon.

Q: Are there any disadvantages in adding too many libraries in Android? I've been wanting to add a lot of Android libraries to my project using Gradle.
If lets say 10 libraries were added, will it have negative side effects?
Like will it expand the app's size, eat more memory, or slow down the app?

A: I think the disadvantages is not a too large APK, or the possible method limit of 65536 without using multidex (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html).
You can avoid this by using Proguard (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code.html), this will drastically decrease the number of methods, because you will almost never use all parts of your libraries.
The real disadvantage in my opinion (I was involved in many different projects where libraries where used for almost everything you can imagine) is the maintainability.
Some libraries increase the complexity and reduce debuggability if not used correctly, or if you don't really think about the correct usage.
So when you want to use a library, use it, but think about the following:

*

*Is it really intended to be used for my purpose? (read the doc)

*How do I correctly use it? (read the doc)

*Do I really need it, or can it be implemented with standard frameworks? (Don't reinvent the wheel, but probably the library is overdone for your purpose)

Hope this helps a little bit
regards
Lukas

A: The app will be bigger.
Also, there's a limit for the amount of methods that can be defined in a single Android app, and it's lower than you might expect. People have hit this limit with big apps. There are ways around it, for sure, but it's a pain, and adding libraries means more chances that you'll hit this limit.

A: Since API version 21 there is no limitation on the number of methods. If you set minSdkVersion 21 in your build.gradle, you will not have that limitation.
However, you may still have to deal with issues like third party libraries having bugs, conflicts with other libraries, the app taking up more disk space, increasing complexity of code, etc.

There are plenty of places to buy ready-to-use models for your model railroad – building, scenery, etc. – but making your own is often a better way to go.
The "do-it-yourself" method gives you much more freedom to design exactly what you want. If you're prototyping your favorite railway, in your favorite little town, it's going to be next to impossible to find a ready-made model that matches the buildings and other scenery exactly.
Making your own gives you complete freedom to duplicate the scene the way you want – or to make whatever changes you feel are necessary.
A lot of model railroaders shy away from making their own scenery, thinking they're not crafty enough or artistic enough.
The fact is, it doesn't have to be that complicated. There are plenty of common household items that can be used to create scenery for your railroad.
Small stones and rocks used judiciously and embedded into mountains as boulders to add realism – just be certain the stone matches the miniature environment you are trying to create. Crystals or granite in a meadow for instance will ruin the effect immediately.
Items like raincoats and umbrellas can be made by cutting and fixing rubber from gloves and are available in a variety of colors.
Baby powder, especially when mixed with colorants can be a wonderful substitute for substances from snow to dirt or even sand. Use of real dirt or sand in miniatures is often discouraged due to the 'graininess' being too large giving a false look to the substance, but the fine nature of baby powder is an excellent substitute.
Various tissues such as toilet and hand-tissues can be very useful for textures such as stucco on buildings or projection screens for drive-ins.
Available in almost any yard, small twigs make excellent trees when herbs are glued to make the leaves appear. Using small 'hanging wire' to create the smaller leafing braches can create a very realistic approach, as can a light dusting with 'snow' for winter scenes.
Wax paper can be used for a variety of purposes anytime a slick-appearing surface is needed. For instance, properly painted it can make an excellent pond or coated with crushed nuts and painted a road surface.
These are just some of the things you can use. If you think creatively, you'll be able to come up with lots of other ideas. You might also want to take a look at my previous article about making your own model railroad scenery.
Who knows? You might just find a use for all those coffee cans full of stuff in the garage that you've never quite been able to get yourself to throw out!
there needs to be a web site for people to add comments on about making your own stuff… i know some great ways to make trees and such.
This is great! And as an offering to things one can make themselves – I make CULVERTS out of aluminum foil , wrapped around a bolt/ run your finger nail in the thread grooves to create the corrugation! These make great loads for Gondolas/flat cars!
Gunsmiths have a great answer to balLast ! For about $1.00 per pound – you can buy crushed walnut shells! Or even cheaper – ground corn cobs! Gunsmiths use these materials for polishing brass,….and throw it out when they ware it out for their purposes!… befriending your local gunsmith could get you all the FREE ballast you could ever DREAM of using! Not everything in our hobby has to be expensive – as is the reputation! Creativity shall overcome! Think outside the BOXcar! The result will keep you ALWAYS "ON TRACK"!!
I would be glad to hear them, as I am still new to the hobby.
What is the most productive and cheapest way to build a small mountain? I am going to use plaster of paris. What should I build the base out of?
ps. the paper mache method works good for mountains!
Hi – thank you for the information. I'm only starting out with this. Except for the locomotive a few cars and tracks, I have not yet started building it…but the space in the basement has been cordoned off!!
Great way to make scale model 'planking' for walls, doors, walkways, ramps, docks, ship decks, flatcars, etc., etc. Using a very fine cabinet blade on (preferably) an adjustable miter or table saw, slice off very thin sections of 3/4″ plywood. Ply should be composed of minimum 6 layers of veneer. This gives HO scale 1′ plank decking. You can go smaller by laminating your own stock, but you need a few woodworkning tools, clamps, etc. Very realistic results for construction of model wood buildings.
I know a great way to make a waterfall, with real water.
does anyone know how to make miniature oil barrels for scenery in the landscape?
Hi to make things for your senery.Look around carefuly in real life.Thats mostly what i do is recycle food containers all sorts of junk and throwen away stuff to make what i need. Imagination. Tin plates from food containers make super corugated roofs. I have sent a bunch of photo's of things i made. Including a Ho tooth pick cabin with a rock fireplace. To moss tree's with tiny tree house. Things from around the yard. Ive made tons of things.
Half done poggo stick lumber cabin, poggo hot dog in a batter on a stick.
Marina asked how to make scale oil barrels. Which of these sources you use depends on the scale; all give you just the right shape (a circular ridge at top and bottom): (1) small wooden thread spools, (2) very small plastic thread spools, found in travel sewing kits (often $1 for 8 to 12). To add realism, prime with paint and recoat with shiny enamel. Dirty them up after the enamel dries. Brand name decals will also add realism. A dot of paint on one end may simulate the pour-hole.
tubing comes in all sizes and work well.
Wow last november was the last time someone left a good idea.What happened to all the good ideas i been sending in.Telephone poles even plans for ho homes. maybe ended in the junk mail.
Hi all.Got any scenery ideas.Like some feedback about useing wind turbines in their layout.Say on some hills.Or off to one side.Some think you will spend most of your time staring at it and draw your attention away from the rest.I think it wouldnt be any more than blinking lights on a water tower or tower for radio or anything that blinks.I found cheap but well made $20. believe me i searched alot of sites and found nothing worth while.kidwinds is the site.white or blue.
I am a junk collector! Every Saturday I go to garage sales and pick up (for next to nothing )useless pieces of junk ex. I have a oil refinery that is 80% made up of scrap!
oil storage tanks (ho scale) upside down pencil cups (square) become oil cooling units…..I could go on and on! These items if placed right fit right into the whole refinery! Just make sure that they are close to scale as possible! I love this hobby..it keeps me contented and out of my wife's "DO THIS RANGE" It also saves a lot of money!
Hi everyone.I have a good idea to make realistic steel link fence for HO.I took a orange flag.The flag is used by road crew flagmen on construction.You cut them in strip's.I used tough wire for the post's and used instant clear glue to glue them to the strip's,and then painted the flag strip's silver with testors model paint.when dry it came out perfect and feel's like real chain link fence with weight to it.Never found scenery fence for model train's as good a looking as this.You wont be disapointed.Builder Kim ps i sent in a picture to show.
Hi all.For those who have any scale crain's with black string for cableing.My secret to replace these string's with the same string they use to wire these crain's before selling.Go to your fishing and hunting store and look in the fly fishing string area.Look for the black fly fishing string.It come's in 3 diffrent sizes.choose your spool and size and wam you replaced the original broken string with the same string they use in the manufacturer.Bring a piece of the string ya want to replace to compare size at store.I happened to stumble on 10 spools of diffrent sizes for free.
Hi all would be great if you have sugestion's or have made something interesting send in photo's so everyone can injoy them and copy.Picture's say a thousand word's.
Ravi wow your taking on a big one.Going to run into alot of fun with that.Why not just buy on ebay or garage sales Ho track.Can use the ho track for DCC or Ho.But if your bent on taking this home made track on.start off with alot of cooper wire.Very expensive cooper roll's.cant have waves or kink's in it.Then have to make each tie and stick that wire to it.Hope your young going to take along time to make up a good size layout.And then have to make switch track as well and bunch of other stuff.buy HO track.Im good at building and would never take on a huge job like that.If ya dont like the road bed ez track has.Then use Ho old school track and use for both DCC and HO.I run both together.I also sent in a photo on useing white craft styrofoam boards and cut into road bed.looks great and works.

The intoxicating images envelope you with urgency, dread and moments of breathtaking beauty as you wait with the soldiers for deliverance.
The story begins on the ground, with a soldier, Tommy (Fionn Whitehead), wandering the deserted streets of Dunkirk looking for water and a place to relieve himself. Propaganda flyers float down reminding the soldiers of something they're already well aware of — that they're surrounded. A deafening gunshot breaks the silence, and your heart will not stop racing for some time.
Tommy heads back to the beach, where soldiers stand in long lines that stretch to the water, where no boats approach. His part is nearly silent, his motivations unknown. They are all haunted shells, stripped of meaningful weapons and military purpose. They just know they need to get off the beach at any cost.
In the air are the two Spitfire pilots, Farrier (Tom Hardy) and Collins (Jack Lowden), shooting down the enemy. Hardly has a film ever made you feel as in the moment as this.
On the sea are three civilians, Dawson (Mark Rylance), Peter (Tom Glynn-Carney) and George (Barry Keoghan) who, armed only with life jackets and blankets, decide to use their small vessel and journey into war, to help rescue their stranded countrymen.
These narratives intertwine and loop back and repeat from different vantage points with stunning effectiveness. Nolan finds suspense at every angle, and ramps up the tension with the help of Hans Zimmer's ticking score.
Nolan continues to be unparalleled in Hollywood, working on a scope that few are able to. As many filmmakers experiment with the small screen, Nolan has gone bigger and bolder with his commitment to film and IMAX. "Dunkirk" is the best film of the year, and Nolan's finest, too.
See it big, and then see it again.

Blog from Jane Marsh: Why We Need a Decarbonization Roadmap
Rod Janssen climate change, climate policy, decarbonisation, energy transition, environment, GHG emissions, net zero emissions, renewable energy, sustainable energy March 19, 2022
By 2022, most countries developed independent sustainability goals to improve the environment and the global economy. Achieving net-zero emission goals requires nations to adopt new practices, technologies, industries and other related features. Environmentalists developed decarbonization roadmaps that guide individuals towards a sustainable future.
Before adopting the roadmaps, countries must assess the efficiency and logistics of the integration methods. When the International Energy Agency released a global decarbonization roadmap in 2021, it received some immediate backlash. Critics targeted some unrealistic elements of the document and questioned the global demand for decarbonization.
The Global Demand for Decarbonization
The International Energy Agency's roadmap targets greenhouse gas emissions in the power sector. Nearly 84% of global energy derives from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. The agency highlights the transportation sector's transition towards electric technologies to shrink its carbon footprint.
It also highlights the transition towards renewable energy sources. Environmentalists are targeting greenhouse gas emissions to improve the environment, economy and society's health. Preserving the global ecosystem is essential for maintaining individuals' access to vital resources.
Minimizing adverse ecological effects can also improve society's well-being. Inhaling greenhouse gasses may decrease individuals' health. Pollution increases one's risk of asthma attacks, lung cancer and other respiratory illnesses.
The agency's roadmap can effectively protect humanity from additional health effects. Some countries need a roadmap to limit interference throughout the transition period. The document can also support a nation's economy by creating green jobs and minimizing energy costs.
How Can a Roadmap Help Individuals Meet their Sustainability Goals?
Roadmaps create a space for different industrial leaders to work together on developing sustainability goals. The documents evaluate emissions from the building, transportation, electricity and other non-energy sectors. Each sector relies on the other to support a functional economy.
Professionals in each industry can minimize interferences and create a holistic and supportive approach to developing decarbonized nations. The roadmaps also create baseline regulations to reduce competition in industries. When governments support the roadmaps, they often designate a portion of funding to decarbonization projects.
America developed a $75 million package for the natural gas and industrial sectors. The Department of Energy is using the funding to create technological advancement, supporting emission reduction goals. Other government funds are increasing the nation's access to crucial decarbonization features.
What are the Roadmaps Key Features?
One of the roadmap's features is renewable energy. The agency plans on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 by eliminating the global reliance on fossil fuels. Nations can develop sustainable energy sectors by adopting renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.
Regions can establish clean electric grids by installing more solar farms and rooftop panels. Solar energy may increase grid reliability. Many areas experience frequent power outages from storms and other related occurrences.
Traditionally, individuals install gas-powered generators on their properties to minimize power loss during storms. Gasoline is challenging to store and costs more than solar power. Switching out a conventional generator for a solar panel can help decarbonize and support economic stability.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the price of gas increased. Adopting a clean electric grid could decrease energy costs because solar is the most cost-effective electricity source on the market. Another feature of the roadmap is adopting electric vehicles.
The agency plans on ending all combustion vehicle sales by 2035. Countries can develop fully sustainable transportation systems by powering their vehicles with clean electricity. Researchers expect the transition to occur at different times around the globe.
When Will We Reach the End of the Road?
Americans may expect a mass transition away from fossil fuels starting this year. The Biden-Harris administration is taking ambitious strides towards sustainability. President Biden is currently working on decarbonizing the transportation sector in America.
The administration is also funding offshore wind farm projects. It plans on using the excess renewable energy to power the clean electric grid. Other regions have already adopted decarbonized energy supplies, while some areas are taking longer to transition.

I was going to wait until after a potential injury claim for my recent off, but I'm hacked off with it enough to press the button now. I'm sure there are many more of you out there that are familiar with the perpetual hunt for a consisutent calibration, going from riding through concrete to floating on marshmallow for no apparent reason between sessions, adn the PIT of cables, changing wheels etc.
Anyway, I'm looking seriously at the Stac Zero Halcyon mostly because it means no need to remove/change the wheel, which is a particular PITA in the case of the Cruzbike.
1) anyone have any experience of these, good or bad?
2) wht software are you running it with and why?
Re: New Turbo Trainer - Opinions?
one of my chums has the stac and 1600km in, it seems to be pretty good so far.
A real difference is that most home trainers put a load of weird loads through the back end of the bike that don't occur when you are actually riding it; I don't know how likely this is to break a frame but it can't do it any good. Between that and the potential sweat damage I have suggested that my chum gets an old frame, handlebars, saddle and pedals and uses that on the trainer; he reckons he may not even need gears per se because the contraption can be set to require constant power regardless of cadence.
I'm using an old road bike at the moment, 12 yo Al frame, not expensive, but has served me well. I'm looking to replace it at some point and had planned to relegate it to general duties at best, but I take your point. I was looking for an old hack a while ago, but got bored wading through e-bay dross. May have a look in the local small ads instead.
Two meaningful sessions and some farting around to set up and I'm convinced. Far smoother than the old Taxc turbo with the tyre pressing on the roller.
- Power - it's telling me i have more than the Taxc ever did, so how can it be bad. It's supposedly a very accurate power meter - it should be based on the tech it uses, and it was telling me I was holding 190-210W for about 5mins with HR around 140-149 yesterday. A cheap way of getting a power meter?

We all know that calcium plays an important role to strengthen our bones and creating blood cells. Many of us used milk, cheese, butter, paneer and other dairy products to get calcium. Calcium is very necessary for growing children.
Green Leafy Vegetables: Any leafy vegetables such as broccoli or spinach have plentiful calcium.
Sardine: Sardine is a marine fish which contains 33% calcium. You must have to eat once in a week.
Oatmeal: You can get fiber and calcium from oatmeal. Women should include them in breakfast.
Okra: You can get 40 grams of calcium from one bowl of okra. If you eat it twice in a week then you will get enough volume to make your teeth healthy.
Figs: It is quite tasty dry fruit. It is high in calcium and iron. In addition, it is full of fiber.
Almond: Almond milk and almond has enough amount of calcium. The other nutrients are also present in the almond.
Orange: Orange contains citrus acid, calcium and vitamin C. You must have to eat orange twice in a week to improve immunity and decrease disease. You can also include lemon in your diet.
Sesame: 1 teaspoon of sesame contains similar amount of calcium which you found in 1 cup of milk.
Soy Milk: It does not have much calcium compared to milk. However, you can get 300 mg calcium instantly.
Cheese: Every kind of cheese such as parmesan or mozzarella or cheddar. They are rich in calcium.


The Washington Capitals entered into Saturday's night game against the Columbus Blue Jackets one point above CBJ for the Metropolitan Division lead. They exited said game three points above their rivals, winning in impressive fashion 4-0.
The shots in the game were even at 28 apiece, but the Capitals won the five-on-five shot attempts battle 46 to 38.
Congrats are in order for Dmitrij Jaskin and Travis Boyd as both fourth line wingers recorded respective firsts in last night's victory. Jaskin finally tallied his first goal as a Washington Capital and Boyd scored his first NHL goal of any kind. Congrats to both, may you score many more this season.
Braden Holtby stopped all 28 pucks fired on his cage to record his second shutout of the season. His first shutout came all the way back in October during the very first game of the year against the Bruins. Holts' 34 career shutouts is only one shy of the franchise record in that category, set by Ollie Kolzig.
At five-on-five, the Caps controlled the high rent districts at both ends of the ice. Just take a look at that heat map.
In an unsurprising turn of events, Alex Ovechkin is now your current NHL league leader in goal scoring with 22 lamps lit. The man is 33 years old and still setting the pace in the league for all goal scorers.
One negative from the fixture is that the Caps power play is still sputtering. The more fun of the special teams units is one for their last thirteen and three for their last twenty-four. One thing this does do is make Ovi's 11-game point streak look even better as fifteen of his sixteen points during that spell have come at even strength.
Michal Kempny and John Carlson had pretty awesome nights, but lets just focus on Kempny because Carlson gets enough praise everywhere else. At five-on-five, Kempny had a plus-twelve shot attempt differential, a plus-fourteen scoring chance for differential, a plus-six high danger chance for differential, and was on the ice for three Capitals goals. He also recorded the primary assist on Ovechkin's goal and drew a penalty after being not impressed by Pierre-Luc Dubois' attempted mugging.


Dynamex changed the nearly 30-year old test, first elucidated in S.G. Borello & Sons Inc. v. Department of Industrial Relations (1989) 48 Cal.3d 341, for determining whether a worker is properly classified as an independent contractor or an employee.
It's been three months since the California Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court, Case No. S222732 (April 30, 2018) and I've had a couple of readers (perhaps my only two) ask whether I was going to write about the decision.
I'm not. Well, obviously, that's not quite true if you're reading this. Rather, I'll tell you why I'm writing about not writing about the decision.
Dynamex is certainly an important decision and one that will likely be cited for decades to come. In short, Dynamex changed the nearly 30-year old test, first elucidated in S.G. Borello & Sons Inc. v. Department of Industrial Relations (1989) 48 Cal.3d 341, for determining whether a worker is properly classified as an independent contractor or an employee.

Q: How do I make an integral symbol larger in in-line math mode? I have the following formula in my LaTeX code:
$ \mu_{x_{t}} = E(x_{t}) = \int_{a}^{b} $

This gives me the follwing in my document

Now I tried to use \bigint, but that gives me too thick integral... what do I need to do to get the same thickness but with more height?

A: More height comes with display mode:
\[ \mu_{x_{t}} = E(x_{t}) = \int_{a}^{b} \]

Or you can only make the integral larger:
$ \mu_{x_{t}} = E(x_{t}) = {\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b} } $

A: There are a few ways to change the appearance- \displaystyle is one of them, and you can also use \limits, or even a combination:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{itemize}
    \item $ \mu_{x_{t}} = E(x_{t}) = \int_{a}^{b}$
    \item $\mu_{x_{t}} = E(x_{t}) = \int\limits_{a}^{b} $
    \item $ \mu_{x_{t}} = E(x_{t}) = \displaystyle\int_{a}^{b} $
    \item $ \mu_{x_{t}} = E(x_{t}) = \displaystyle\int\limits_{a}^{b} $
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

Fitness equipment is used for health body building, which is divided into indoor and outdoor fitness equipment. Gym equipment are now widely used in civil society. Fitness training function often divided into two categories: single-function and comprehensive multi-function.
First of all, think about the use of multi-functional fitness products. A product is better to have 2 or 3 functions in the same time, such as arm muscles trainning, the waist, abdomen, health riding machines or abdominal wheel and so on.
Secondly, consider the living environment and conditions. A suitable machina will suit for family atmosphere and living conditions of the equipment, which will enhance the quality of life. Some exercise machines with more functions do not really work in home. And if the exercise area is large enough. Need to install or move, will greatly reduce the enthusiasm of fitness.
Thirdly, the price is moderate. The function of these products is fully able to meet the needs of exercise, but also because of the addition elements of localization, some of the functions are foreign fitness equipment insufficient.
Fourthly, after-sales service should pay attention to after-sales service, if there are maintenance points. Main brands are: treadmill, bike, waist.

Kelvinator Air Conditioners Review
One of the smaller players in Australia's air conditioner market, Kelvinator is a brand owned by Swedish manufacturing giant Electrolux. Kelvinator is named after the 'Kelvin' temperature scale – fitting for a company dealing with keeping your food fresh and home cool. The brand has been around for over a century, making and selling a large range of home appliances, including air conditioners.
When it comes to Kelvinator air conditioners, its models fall into one of two categories – split system and window air conditioners. While this range seems short, keep in mind that there are more than 10 individual models in each range, giving customers the flexibility to buy an air conditioner to suit their own needs and budget. As a whole, Kelvinator gears towards the budget-friendly end of the market, with big power figures for comparatively little money, so let's review the range below.
Kelvinator Split-System Air Conditioners
Kelvinator sells a wide range of split-system air conditioners, which all vary in terms of their wattage, energy-efficiency and features. Unlike some of its competitors in the world of cooling, Kelvinator doesn't have distinct product lines when it comes to split-system air conditioners, meaning that the 13 models it currently sells are distinguished only product names and power levels.
Power figures range from 2.5kw – enough for a small room – to 8kw – large enough for a small apartment.
Many models boast reverse cycle technology, though some are cooling only.
Energy ratings range from 2.5 stars to a commendable five stars.
Model numbers represent cooling power outputs. For example, the 'HSD70HRG' represents an air conditioner with 7kw of cooling capacity.
Many models boast one-touch control and come with easy-clean fascia. Prices range from under $700 for the smallest models, to just over $2,000 for the largest models. Considering other brands can cost much more than this for the equivalent power rating, Kelvinator stands as a budget-friendly alternative.

Kelvinator Window-Wall Air Conditioners
There's not much to be said about Kelvinator's window wall air conditioners that we haven't said about the company's split-system air conditioners. Kelvinator doesn't have distinct product lines for its window wall air conditioners, so if you want to examine the differences between the 11 models it currently sells, you're stuck looking at the specs – wattage, energy-efficiency and features.
Power figures range from 1.6kw – enough for a study or home office – up to 6kw – enough for a lounge room or larger bedroom.
Window air conditioners are decidedly less efficient than their split system counterparts, and this isn't exclusive to Kelvinator. Many Kelvinator models achieve energy ratings of two stars.
Model numbers represent the cooling power output; for example, the 'KWH53HRE' represents a model with 5.3kw of cooling power and so on.
As for features, many are basic in extra perks and gimmicks, but many have wireless remote controls, auto-restart functions, a 24 hour timer and a quieter 'sleep mode'. Prices range from under $400 for the smallest models, to a touch under $1,500 for the largest models. Window air conditioners are generally cheaper than split systems, but what you save at the checkout you may pay for later with lower energy efficiency.

Is a Kelvinator air conditioner worth the investment?
Kelvinator isn't exclusively an air conditioner manufacturer, so it makes sense that its air conditioners come with less variety than those of some of its competitors. That said, Kelvinator's products usually perform well in Canstar Blue's customer satisfaction ratings, so the brand is evidently doing something right.
Kelvinator air conditioners are, on the whole, a little cheaper than the more popular 'premium' brands out there.
However, the trade-off with this is that you often don't get tip-top energy efficiency or all the bells and whistles.
Many of Kelvinator's air conditioners represent a more budget-friendly way of cooling your home. While you won't get all the latest tech built-in, what you will get is simple, effective and cheaper cooling. When summer rolls around and you're sweating up a storm, this is likely all you'll care about at the checkout, but do keep in mind the higher running costs associated with low-starred energy efficiency.

Кароли́н Эгль (, 12 сентября 1974 — 21 августа 2007) — лётчик-истребитель ВВС Франции. Первая в истории Франции женщина, которая служила в боевой части в качестве лётчика-истребителя.

Биография

Детство и юность
Каролин Эгль родилась в городе Монтобан в семье военного врача, лотарингца по происхождению. В детстве ей пришлось много путешествовать по Африке, где отец находился по службе. В четырнадцать лет Каролин поступила в Военный лицей Сен-Сир (при одноимённом военном училище). По окончании лицея она прошла подготовительные классы в Национальное военное училище. В 1994 году она успешно прошла вступительные экзамены в Политехническую школу и Высшую нормальную школу и выбрала Политехническую школу. После поступления в 1994-95 годах проходила обязательную для курсантов Политехнической школы военную службу в 13-м батальоне Альпийских стрелков. По окончании Политехнической школы Каролин Эгль решила поступить на службу в Военно-воздушные силы Франции.

Лётная служба
Пройдя в 1999—2000 годах лётную подготовку, Каролин Эгль была зачислена в Истребительный авиаэскадрон 2/2 «Кот-д'Ор», базирующийся под Дижоном, где летала на самолёте Mirage 2000. Впоследствии она была назначена командиром эскадрильи SPA 57 «Муэт» («Чайка») в составе данного эскадрона. В 2005 году Эгль оставила лётную работу, продолжая оставаться на военной службе. К этому времени её налёт составил 1600 часов.

Каролин Эгль готовилась к отбору в отряд космонавтов Европейского космического агентства.

Личная жизнь
В 2002 году Каролин Эгль вышла замуж за Кристофа Декетелаэра (Deketelaere), бывшего лётчика-истребителя, члена частной пилотажной группы «Брайтлинг». В 2005 году у них родился сын Марк. В 2007 году при трагических обстоятельствах (см. ниже) на свет появился второй сын — Габриэль.

Болезнь и смерть
Во время второй беременности у Каролин Эгль был диагностирован рак (меланома). Несмотря на советы врачей, Эгль отказалась прерывать беременность. Её второй сын — Габриэль был извлечён путём кесарева сечения в середине шестого месяца беременности. Через восемнадцать дней после его рождения Каролин Эгль умерла.

Спортивные достижения
Каролин Эгль была чемпионом вооружённых сил Франции среди женщин по триатлону (1997 год), занимала первое 1997 и второе 1999 места на чемпионате мира по триатлону среди военных в составе команды. Увлекалась парашютным спортом и дайвингом.

Two games into his BU career, Eichel had accumulated nine points. Just as Connor McDavid has torn up the OHL, Eichel has made his presence known in the NCAA very quickly. In their final exhibition game before getting into the meat of their schedule, the Terriers faced the USNTDP U18 Team on Saturday night in Agganis Arena.
The U18 team presented a unique challenge for the Terriers. They were by far the youngest, most inexperienced group the Terriers had faced yet, but boasted the most talent. The entire roster is littered with top tier NCAA recruits that have committed to traditional college powerhouses. The US roster included LW Jordan Greenway and D Charles McAvoy, who are scheduled to arrive as freshmen at BU in the fall of 2015. Greenway was ranked as an "A" prospect by Central Scouting Services in their preliminary rankings for the 2015 draft, and is projected to be a 1st round pick.
Facing the USNTDP also meant Eichel would be lining up head-to-head with their first line center, Auston Matthews. According to Craig Button, Matthews is the favorite to go #1 overall in the 2016 Draft, and is in the same tier as Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel. How would Eichel respond to the increased talent level trying to defend him?
The USNTDP played the Terriers to their closest game this season, with BU registering the win by a score of 6-4. Compared to their first two games, which were won by a combined score of 20-2, this one was a nail-biter.
Eichel figured prominently into the scoring, making his presence known six minutes into the game. Junior Dan O'Regan was able to win a puck battle in the offensive zone, and dished the puck off to Eichel. Eichel then found linemate Ahti Oksanen in open ice with a quick pass. Oksanen surveyed the ice, and found O'Regan crashing the backdoor of the USNTDP net to put BU up 1-0. The line's growing chemistry and passing skills were on top display on the goal.
In the second period, Eichel had a shift to remember. As Dan O'Regan worked the puck in the corner, Eichel found some open space in the high slot. O'Regan hit him with a pass, and Eichel attempted to make a quick return pass to O'Regan. However, the pass ricocheted off a defender's stick, and into the net. It was lucky, but as the saying goes, good players and teams make their own luck.
Just over a minute later, BU went to the power play. As they broke the puck out of their zone, captain Matt Grzelcyk hit Eichel with a beautiful stretch pass. Eichel went streaking down the right wing with space in front of him, and snapped a shot that beat goaltender Luke Opilka to the glove side. After the game, Eichel noted that the Terriers had been working on a new power play breakout in practice last week, and it appears they executed it perfectly on Saturday.
In the second half of the game, Eichel did not register a point, but his line did add another goal in the third period. Eichel finished the game with 2 goals and an assist against his former team.
After the game, Eichel offered his thoughts on playing his former team. He noted that it was a good test for the team, and was quick to give credit to the US team's skill. He also offered his thoughts on the budding chemistry of the OREO line, and how their hard work in practice has translated to success in games.
When asked about his dynamic first line, coach David Quinn had nothing but great things to say about the group.
Up Next on the Jack Eichel Tracker: Eichel and the Terriers will face off against Michigan State on Friday, and the #14 ranked Michigan Wolverines on Saturday, both in Boston. This weekend should be the toughest one yet for the Terriers as they play twice in one weekend for the first time this season.

Long Drive World Series Announces 2018 Events Calendar
With 10 events across the world
Words: GolfPunk
Joe Miller teeing it up
Long Drive World Series (LDWS) has announced plans to significantly expand its programme of events in 2018, as the brand looks to introduce audiences around the world to its high octane golfing entertainment concept.
Long Drive sees the biggest hitters from the world of golf go head-to-head in a bid to hit the ball the furthest distance. In 2017, the series drew crowds in their thousands, as the organisation hosted major events in Dubai, London and Portugal.
Following the success of this year's series, LDWS has now announced its intention to visit no less than 10 locations internationally in 2018, with the overall winner being crowned 2018 Long Drive World Series champion.
The 2018 season will kick off in Dubai in February, with further events set to take place in Mexico (March), South Africa (April), USA (May), UK (June), Sweden (July), Russia (August), Portugal (September), China (October) and Turkey (November).
Amongst those players set to feature in next year's line-up include Swedish long driver Emil Rosberg – the winner of the London leg of the 2017 series – and Serbian Ilija Djurdjevic, Americans Ryan Steenberg, Ryan Reisbeck and Kevin Shook, and British big hitters Joe Miller, James Tait and Scott Beaven.
Emil Rosberg from Sweden teeing it up
In total, 16 players will compete at each event in the calendar. Those 16 players will be made up of 12 Long Drive World Series players, one local player from each region and three qualifiers who will have the opportunity to compete for a place in the main event through an open qualifying round.
The 16 players will be ranked at each event, through a quick seeding round prior to the main event starting. Players will then compete in a series of head to head pairings with the remaining two players progressing to the final.
The 2018 Long Drive World Series will also see the introduction of a new scoring system called "Load the Grid", where players will have six balls to hit within markers on a grid, in a bid to accumulate the longest total yardage.
Players will accumulate points on a league basis throughout the Series and the player with the highest number of points at the end of the 10-leg series will be crowned the overall 2018 Long Drive World Series champion.
Martin Westney, CEO of Long Drive World Series, said: "2017 was a hugely successful debut year for the Long Drive World Series. Our ambition now is to grow the concept significantly in an effort to introduce new audiences to our fast pace, exhilarating form of golf.
"We have more events planned than ever before, at some of the most iconic locations around the world, and we are looking forward to showcasing the world's best players to our growing fanbase around the globe".
Sky Sports will broadcast highlights packages from each and every LDWS event in the calendar.

ITS GOLFPORN TIME AS WE HEAD TO THE MALDIVES
Who knew mini golf could be dangerous?
Don't get it. Watching people hit it as far as they can is boring once you get over the initial surprise. It doesn't have much to do with golf and is more like throwing the hammer or the javelin.

Q: URL ending in parenthesis regression or new problem?
Possible Duplicate:
URL 'encoding' bug with urls containing multiple parens

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.linq.datacontext.log(v=vs.110)
the final parenthesis is not included in the href on a naked URL
If you put it in a link, it gets escaped
Not sure if it falls into this fix or not: URLs with parentheses display incorrectly - if it does (as opposed to parentheses fully within the URL), perhaps it somehow got broken again.


The 2014-15 CEOE Test Administration Schedule is now available online. Online registration will begin August 14, 2014.
In 1995, the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation (OCTP) was given the responsibility by the Oklahoma Legislature to develop and implement a competency-bases assessment system for educator licensure/certification in the state of Oklahoma.
The certification exams are administered twelve times a year through paper-based administrations across the state as well as computer-based administrations available both state and nationwide.
The Oklahoma certification examinations reflect state standards (Oklahoma Full-Subject Matter Competencies, Oklahoma General Competencies, core student standards) as well as current national standards. Over 7000 Oklahoma educators have contributed their knowledge and expertise throughout the assessment development and validation process. Included are classroom teachers, higher education faculty, career technology faculty, and school administrators.
OCTP has compiled an electronic database of CEOE scores for educators and educator candidates for the State of Oklahoma. You may now view your scores online and print an official score report. Click here to set up your account.
As part of maintaining the assessment program, routine review and redevelopment assures that the exams will be kept up-to-date and accurate. Constant monitoring ensures that they also continue to measure educator knowledge and skill levels using the most current and widely accepted psychometric standards.
For more information, contact Ms. Renee Launey-Rodolf, Director of Educator Preparation at 405-525-2612.


Complimentary buffet breakfast was served at Fresh located on the ground floor. It's an international buffet style restaurant featuring Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Chinese and Continental dishes. The buffet area was well presented. The food wasn't amazing but not bad either. It was just satisfying enough to fill our stomach. Anyway, it was compensated having breakfast with a billionaire. Well, it sure seems like. :) Goodness, Solaire's owner tycoon Enrique Razon Jr. was also having his breakfast just two tables away from us.
Our dining experience at Solaire particularly Lucky Noodles, Food Court and Fresh were not actually spectacular. It was just okay. Maybe we just didn't find something that will hit the spot. I would give Solaire another chance to try other restaurants and some of their dishes. Besides the place itself offers a level of luxury. Every corner is visually appealing. The casino is bright and lively. Additionally, complimentary bottled water is available in the area. But most of all our spacious grand deluxe room was gorgeous and we love to stay here again. Overall, Solaire Resort and Casino is well worth checking out. It is located in the Entertainment City complex along the Bay City area of Paranaque City, Philippines. This place is actually close to SM Mall of Asia.
So, that's it lovely peeps. My blogging about Solaire Resort and Casino ends here.

Taking time during our busy daily lives to stop and appreciate the present can be like pressing a "pause" button.
Most people - teenagers and adults - have experienced feelings of stress or difficulty at some point in their lives. Sometimes we can get very caught up in thoughts about the past, or worries about the future, and feel overwhelmed by all the stuff circling around our brains.
Mindfulness training helps us to re-connect with the present moment. We gradually learn to tune in to our breathing and our body, and become aware of the thoughts and emotions in our heart and mind.
Having a moment to step back from the stress and difficulty can mean we calm ourselves. When we are ready to reconnect with daily life again, we return fresher and with new eyes: we are able to gain more space and perspective on what's difficult, while appreciating moments of joy more too.
The eight-week mindfulness courses for adults (MBSR) and teenagers (.b) take the form of weekly group sessions. These sessions deliver the skills and approaches that help us to become more present in our lives.
