Historia

La quinta edición del Revolution Fest se anunció para el sábado 30 de mayo en Calle 2. Cabe mencionar que esta edición fue la última en esta explanada multifuncional, ya que para el año siguiente se cambiaría la sede al sur de la ciudad. En esta edición géneros como el rock en español, rap, reggae, hip-hop y el ska, fueron de los más escuchados.

Después de tres anuncios con diferentes partes del cartel los headliners en esta edición del festival fueron Calle 13, Maldita Vecindad, Molotov y Suicidal Tendencies. Los boletos se vendieron por el sistema Ticketmaster. Contó con tres escenarios por toda la explanada, además de áreas de venta de comida y souvenirs.

Revolution Fest 2016
Esta edición del Revolution Fest vivió un cambio de locación, ya que se deja la explanada de Calle 2, eligiendo al Club Hípico Alamitos en Tlaquepaque, al sur de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara como nueva sede del evento.  El 05 de mayo, después de revelar a algunos artistas a través de las redes sociales del festival, se dio a conocer el cartel completo para la sexta entrega, encabezada por Cultura Profética, Molotov, American Authors, Cartel de Santa y Todos Tus Muertos.

El evento fue anunciado para el sábado 11 de junio, contando con cuatro escenarios distribuidos por todo el Club Hípico Alamitos, además de las zonas de comida o descanso se añadió la zona RevoKids, un área para niños. Los boletos se comercializaron en Zona General y Zona VIP, a través del sistema Ticketmaster o puntos de venta establecidos. En entrevista con el diario El Informador, los organizadores del evento mencionaron que era momento de que el festival evolucionara, tanto de sede como de algunos géneros, ya que se detectó que con los "sonidos duros" el público en general no veía con muy buenos ojos la mezcla de metal con otro tipo de música, dejando a estos géneros para festivales como el Force Fest en Guadalajara y el Hell & Heaven en la Ciudad de México.

Cabe destacar que en este año Live Talent decide exportar por primera vez el festival a Cholula, en Puebla. Esta edición contó con Caifanes, Los Amigos Invisibles, Dred Mar-I, DLD y El Gran Silencio como headliners y fue programada para el 20 de febrero en la Unidad Deportiva San Pedro.

Revolution Fest 2017
El 2017 fue un año fructífero en cuestión de festivales musicales para Guadalajara, ya que en el primer semestre eventos como Cosquín Rock México, Anagrama y Roxy Fest hicieron su primera edición en la ciudad, aumentando así el número de bandas, asistentes y la oferta en el sector.  El Revolution Fest no sé quedó atrás y decidió asociarse con la empresa de entretenimiento más importante en América Latina, Ocesa. Para esta edición, Javier Castañeda, director de Live Talent, mencionó que se aumento el nivel de inversión al cuádruple con respecto a la edición pasada, para tener un cartel más llamativo y una mejor experiencia.

Es así que, para la séptima edición, se decidió anunciar el cartel en dos partes. La primera fue anunciada el 25 de enero a través de las redes sociales del festival, teniendo como headliners a Zoé, Galantis, Richie Hawtin y Maldita Vecindad, además de la fecha programada para el sábado 20 de mayo, teniendo como sede por segundo año al Club Hípico Alamitos. Entre los nombres que también destacaron fueron Cartel de Santa, Natalia Lafourcade y Oh Wonder.

El segundo anuncio se dio el 16 de marzo y contó con una gran sorpresa, la banda sudafricana Die Antwoord, ya que era la primera vez que se presentaba en La Perla de Occidente. Otros actos que también se confirmaron fueron Aterciopelados y Los Victorios. El festival vendió sus entradas por el sistema Ticketmaster, teniendo localidades en Zona General y Zona VIP. Contó nuevamente con zonas para niños, recreativas, de entretenimiento, y de alimentos, destacando un escenario sorpresa que fue anunciado días antes del festival, donde se presentaron artistas como La Gusana Ciega y La Banda Bastön.  Esta edición contó con una asistencia aproximada de 22 mil personas de todas las partes del país, pero principalmente de la ciudad sede.

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."
Neuromancer, William Gibson.
The future. Dark. Dirty. Dangerous. You're loners, punks and criminals, marginalised by society through birth, choice or violence. Parasites, living symbiotic existences in the shadows cast by the arcologies, feeding from the scraps dangled by the megacorporations and then scurrying back to the shadows to avoid their dismissive, destructive gaze. Those vast multinational corporations — "Zaibatsus", some call them — squat over everything, pulling the strings, controlling the flow of money, information, goods, and people. Governments scamper around their feet, begging for scraps. Hydrophilic lubricious polymers and automated cleaners keep their arcologies shining amidst the grey-brown urban sprawl which surrounds them. Corporate financial muscle pushes people around the city like blood. The megacorporations. Humanity's most successful artificial organism.

The Sprawl, First Edition - Rules SummaryCollapse
Character Creation [ edit ]
Before character creation even begins, the entire group (including the Master of Ceremonies, ie. GM) each names and describes a single mega corporation or similar power group (eg. government, criminal organization). These entities will shortly become the game's antagonists, and are an important part of the campaign.
Next, as a PbtA system, each player chooses one of ten "playbooks", which are essentially a combination class/character sheet. Each playbook gets stat bonuses, gear (including cyber gear), a set of unique "moves" (ie. action options), and a choice of various other benefits.
For instance, the Hacker playbook gets several stat bonuses, but the top two have to be allocated to Synth and Mind. They get the moves "Jack in" (to the matrix) and Console Cowboy (hack a secure system), start with a cyberdeck and either a weapon or armor (along with some cybernetic data implants) and can choose one additional move. That move could let them immediately jack out when attacked by "black ice", or they could be famous in the matrix, letting them use their Synth state for social rolls within it.
And in case you're wondering, Synth is one of the six stats in The Sprawl, representing how well the character interfaces with tech. There's also Style (Charisma), Edge (street smarts), Cool (ability to remain calm under pressure), Mind (Intelligence), and Meat (Constitution).
Some playbooks have additional choices to make. For instance the Driver playbook begins with a vehicle, which the character has to customize, while the Fixer playbook actually starts with two minor criminal underlings, and has to select what each one is good at (eg. petty theft, debt collection, or surveillance)
Core Mechanics [ edit ]
As a PbtA system The Sprawl uses a 2d6 whenever an action's success needs to be determined. The player rolls 2d6, adds the appropriate stat, and then if the result is at least a 7 it results in a "hit". A 7-9 is considered a weak hit, while a 10+ is a strong hit.
A roll with a strong hit achieves the desired goal, but a weak hit or even a failure could still achieve that goal. However with a weak hit the character will either only get most of what they wanted, or they'll achieve all of it but suffer some sort of complication or other downside. With a failure the GM decides whether the desired action succeeds or not, but if it does it will be similarly be accompanied by some "strings attached".
As a PbtA system everything the players (or MC) does is as a "move". Each playbook gets a set of unique moves, but all characters can chose from a set of "basic moves", as well as a set of "Special Moves" that only apply in certain circumstances. Every move has a corresponding stat (used when making the roll for that move).
To use a move the player describes the action they want their character to take, and then the MC decides which move is appropriate and has them make the appropriate roll. For instance, a player wanting to collect information might "Hit the Street" (a Style move), while one who moved to higher ground for a better shot would "Manoeuvre" (Mind), and one who wanted to beat up a gangster would "Mix it Up" (Meat).
MC Moves
Whenever the player fails at a move, the MC then gets to make an "MC Move". In addition the MC can also make a move when the players are waiting for something to happen, or when "the fiction demands it."
In general the MC should use these moves to make the world feel "dirty, high-tech and excessive", to make the PC's lives interesting, and to "see what happens". The MC has a wide variety of moves to accomplish this from "use up their resources" to "offer an opportunity" to "foreshadow a future complication".
They also have a set of "mission moves" (eg. "raise the alarm"), corporate moves (eg. "terminate a problem"), and "site moves" which they can choose from at the appropriate time. That last one, "site moves", can be different for various areas in the campaign world; for instance, a slum are might have the move "highlight desperation or kill someone's dream".
In addition to moves, another key concept in The Sprawl is a "clock". A clock represents a sort of "countdown to midnight", and looks like this:
As the clock "counts down" (triggered by in-game events) the GM crosses off entries from left-to-right.
Mission and Corporate Clocks
For instance, during a mission the GM maintains two clocks, one for how much noise the party makes, and the other for how well their opposition notices their efforts on their own. On the campaign level, each corporation has a clock to track how much they know (and are willing to act against) the PCs.
This "clock" mechanism helps to make the game flow and fit it's cyberpunk setting in a more natural/organic way. For instance, the corporate clock is meant to tick down because, as the rule book notes "The corporations are like sleeping lions. You don't want to poke them; they'll take your arm off. The Sprawl is about poking those lions."
Combat [ edit ]
Because The Sprawl is a PbtA system it doesn't have the concept of "initiative" or "rounds" the same way as traditional RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons. Instead, combat is handled in the same way as action outside of combat: the players describe what they do, the GM decides the order things happen in, and then the appropriate rolls are made.
An entire fight might be resolved in a single "Mix it Up" move ... or it might involve a series of Manoeuvre, Act Under Pressure, etc. moves.
Weapons and Armor
Weapons in The Sprawl have relatively simple stats, just an amount of harm, a "range tag", and then possibly other tags such as "loud" or "armor piercing". For instance a Heavy Pistol deals 3 harm at close range, and is loud.
Armor is similarly simple, providing a harm reduction value (up to 3), possibly with tags (eg. a military hardsuit has 3 armor, but is clumsy).
Injuries (Harm)
If a character is hit by a weapon they reduce the damage by their armor, and then suffer the rest. Instead of hit points, characters use a "harm clock" to track their injuries. A character on the lower end of the clock has minor injuries, while one closer to the end needs medical attention (and one at midnight needs an ambulance immediately).
Harm Rolls
In addition, whenever a character suffers damage they have to make a Harm roll. Instead of using a stat, this roll adds the amount of damage taken, and if the result is 7 or more the character suffers some further harm.
On a 7-9 that harm might only be that the character is knocked over, or drops something they are carrying, but on a 10+ the character could lose a limb, a cybernetic part, or be knocked unconscious (as decided by the MC.)

North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington has four furry friends who have traveled far and wide in search of a forever home. Make one (or more) of these four-legged companions a member of the family and show them the best of what Long Island has to offer.
Nellie is a small yet spunky cattle dog terrier mix. The cattle dog in Nellie makes her a high-energy gal who would do best in an active household with a fenced-in backyard. She is friendly, housebroken and has the most adorable freckles. Fun fact: cattle dogs are part of the herding group and pure instinct prompts them to gently corral other animals or children of the family.
Peter Parker is a hound collie mix who was rescued from Virginia. He is very smart, but at six months still enjoys acting like a goofy older puppy. You can't miss his curiosity—his nose is always on the chase, a common hound trait.
Another Virginia rescue, Kody is a Shepherd hound mix. He is affectionate and is quick to make friends with any dog or child he meets. His natural zest for life is part of his charm—Shepherd's are known to be very family-orientated with a loyalty and focus that will remain untouched.
Cheyenne is a young Chihuahua mix rescued from Tennessee. She is very sweet but is sensitive because of her size. She makes for an ideal apartment dog and lap warmer on nippy nights. But don't let her small stature fool you, Chihuahuas are extremely good watch dogs because of their big ears and strong sense of hearing.

A: The problem is your buffer is considered "empty" because its writerIndex is not changed when you use the setByte method. Use writeByte or other writeXXX methods instead. These advance the writerIndex, which means Netty is able to see that something has actually been written to the buffer.

Western Reserve College opened in 1826. It was the first institution of higher education in what had been the Connecticut Western Reserve in northeast Ohio. Western Reserve College was closely affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. Religious groups operated many early colleges in Ohio. They hoped to instill good moral values in their students and create missionaries to seek and convert new members. Originally established at Hudson, Ohio, Western Reserve College moved to Cleveland in 1882. It was one of the first colleges in Ohio to admit African-American students.
During the 1820s and the 1830s, Western Reserve College became an important center of anti-slavery sentiment in Ohio. In the early 1830s, abolitionist Theodore Dwight Weld visited the school and recruited several faculty members to the anti-slavery cause. In 1833, Western Reserve College organized the first abolitionist society in the former Connecticut Western Reserve. The school's anti-slavery activities upset many residents of northeast Ohio.
During the 1830s, Western Reserve College also built the first collegiate astronomical observatory west of the Appalachian Mountains. It was only the second observatory at a college in the entire United States.
In 1892, Amasa Stone donated a sizable fund of money to the institution. As a result of this gift, Western Reserve College became Adelbert College of Western Reserve. Adelbert was the name of Stone's son. In 1967, Adelbert College and Case Institute of Technology merged and created what is now Case Western Reserve University.

Q: nodejs server create file name 4000, when server started When i started my nodejs express server on port 4000 using nodemon it create a new executable file 4000,
And every time file changes and server started it throw error that address already in use and when i kill that process which are associated with these port then after it is throwing the same error
yarn dev

it create 4000, file automatically at root level of project

again i change port to 5000
yarn dev

again it create file 5000,

A: After long struggle i have found the error . My .env file was like this:-
PORT=4000,
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/test,
problem arises due added comma(,) after value . After removal of comma problem fixed

A: I Have faced same problem while I was using semicolon(;) after port number PORT=5000;. This problem arises because of semicolon. When I call the data using process.env.PORT then it gives me the port value like 5000; (with semicolon).

A: Like @pierpy said, does the line that starts your server say something like app.listen(80) (of course 80 is your port number).
If not, remove the line that 'starts' the server and replace it with app.listen(PORT) and change PORT to whatever port you want.

Economics Nobel laureate Paul Romer is a Python programming convert — Quartz
"Romer believes in making research transparent. He argues that openness and clarity about methodology is important for scientific research to gain trust. As Romer explained in an April 2018 blog post, in an effort to make his own work transparent, he tried to use Mathematica to share one of his studies in a way that anyone could explore every detail of his data and methods. It didn't work. He says that Mathematica's owner, Wolfram Research, made it too difficult to share his work in a way that didn't require other people to use the proprietary software, too. Readers also could not see all of the code he used for his equations.
Instead of using Mathematica, Romer discovered that he could use a Jupyter notebook for sharing his research. Jupyter notebooks are web applications that allow programmers and researchers to share documents that include code, charts, equations, and data. Jupyter notebooks allow for code written in dozens of programming languages. For his research, Romer used Python—the most popular language for data science and statistics.
Importantly, unlike notebooks made from Mathematica, Jupyter notebooks are open source, which means that anyone can look at all of the code that created them. ..."

Final Written Decision Concluding Nexus Not Established IPR2014-01102
Posted on January 4, 2016 by
Takeaway: To prove nexus between an allegedly commercially successful product and a claimed invention, a patent owner relying upon infringement claim charts in a related litigation should provide explanation as to the context of the litigation, such as whether infringement was established or whether the accused infringer agreed to the charge of infringement.
In its Final Written Decision, the Board found that Petitioner had shown by a preponderance of the evidence that claim 13 of the '077 patent is unpatentable. The '077 patent "relates to a remote control that includes an input with a set of keys or push buttons for inputting commands into the remote control, infrared (IR) signal output circuitry for supplying an infrared signal to a controlled device, and a central processing unit (CPU) coupled to the input and to the signal output circuitry." The sole instituted ground was alleged obviousness of claim 13 over Ciarcia and Hastreiter.
The Board first addressed Patent Owner's contention that Petitioner failed to properly identify all real parties-in-interest. Patent Owner argued that Ohsung, "a supplier of products to [Petitioner]," should have been named because "Ohsung exercised or could have exercised control over Petitioner's participation in this proceeding based on the close relationship between Petitioner and Ohsung." The Board was not persuaded by Patent Owner's arguments. In particular, sharing one employee or paying for an employee's office space did not evidence control over Petitioner in this proceeding. Further, a settlement agreement between Petitioner and Patent Owner, in which Ohsung was obligated to pay royalties to Patent Owner, did not exemplify a "close relationship in 2014 when the Petition in this proceeding was filed," and was "directed to a set of patents, none of which is the patent involved in this proceeding." Finally, the Board was not persuaded that sharing litigation counsel in a related case exhibited control.
Turning to claim construction, the Board noted that because the '077 patent had expired, interpretation of the claims is similar to that in district court. Petitioner proposed constructions for several means-plus-function terms, and Patent Owner provided its own interpretation for those terms. However, the Board determined that no explicit construction was necessary for those terms. The only term the Board construed was "code data," which the parties agreed included "timing information or data," but did not agree whether it included "instructions." The Board concluded that "code data" includes "timing information or data, but need not include instructions," agreeing with Petitioner's proposal as consistent with the specification.
The Board then addressed the alleged obviousness of claim 13 over Ciarcia and Hastreiter. Patent Owner argued that the prior art does not meet the "code data" limitation; that "there is insufficient reason to combine Ciarcia and Hastreiter"; and that secondary considerations establish nonobviousness. The Board was not persuaded by Patent Owner's argument regarding "code data" because it did not adopt Patent Owner's proposed claim construction for the limitation.
As to the motivation to combine the references, the Board found Patent Owner's arguments unpersuasive. In particular, the Board was persuaded that the references constituted analogous art, finding that Patent Owner's arguments were not persuasive under the relevant test. To determine whether a prior art reference constitutes analogous art, the test is "(1) whether the prior art is from the same field of endeavor, regardless of the problem addressed, and (2) if the reference is not within the field of the inventor's endeavor, whether the reference still is reasonably pertinent to the particular problem with which the inventor is involved." The Board found Patent Owner had not explained why "Hastreiter is from a field of endeavor different from that of the claimed invention," and that the second prong of the test had not been addressed.
The Board also found Patent Owner's arguments regarding Hastreiter's alleged teaching away to be unpersuasive. In particular, Patent Owner argued that the complexity of the Hastreiter apparatus would teach away from the proposed combination because the Ciarcia remote "only has six keys, such that minimizing interconnections would not be a concern." The Board disagreed, finding that Patent Owner's arguments and evidence was not consistent with the disclosure of Hastreiter.
Patent Owner had alleged that commercial success of the patented product established nonobviousness. Patent Owner argued that "several of the patents owned by Patent Owner, including the '077 patent, were licensed by a substantial portion of the industry, showing commercial acquiescence and competitor acceptance of Patent Owner's licensed patents." However, the Board noted that the "mere existence of several licenses, without more specific information about the circumstances surrounding the licensing, is not a good indicator of nonobviousness." In this case, the Board stated that Patent Owner did not provide evidence, for example, regarding whether decisions to take a license were "from acknowledged merits of the claimed invention" and "how many entities refused to take a license or why some entities, if any, refused to take a license."
Patent Owner had argued that its own products and those of its licensees (including Logitech) "have enjoyed tremendous commercial worldwide success." However, the Board found that "Patent Owner does not describe for [the Board] the components or manner of operation of the products sold by it or Logitech." Patent Owner relied upon infringement claim charts prepared for litigation, but the Board found such charts insufficient to establish nexus between the alleged commercial success and the claimed invention. According to the Board, no explanation as to the "context of the litigation" was provided, for example, "whether Logitech agreed to the charge of infringement." Thus, the Board found that Patent Owner did not establish that the claim charts were "meritorious insofar as showing a nexus is concerned." Moreover, the Board was not persuaded that the alleged $100 million of Logitech sales or $1 billion of Patent Owner's sales constituted commercial success because no market share information was provided. According to the Board, "[i]t is well established that absolute sales numbers without market share data does not establish commercial success." Finally, the Board found that Patent Owner did not provide sufficient evidence regarding the reasons for the alleged commercial success, and thus, did not establish the sales to be "a direct result of the unique characteristics of the invention, and not a result of economic and commercial factors unrelated to the quality of the patent subject matter."
Thus, the Board found that Petitioner established unpatentability of claim 13 by a preponderance of the evidence.
The Board next addressed the parties' Motions to Exclude Evidence. Patent Owner's Motion was dismissed because the Board did not rely upon the evidence subject to the Motion. The Board also dismissed Petitioner's Motion because the parties did not rely upon any of the objected to evidence in the proceeding, and neither did the Board.
Finally, the Board addressed the parties' unopposed Motions to Seal, granting them both. The Board noted that in reaching its decision, no confidential information was identified or discussed in detail.

Discussion in 'Boondocking' started by dbhost, Jan 29, 2019.
Camping while fully self contained. No outside water, sewer, power, or fuel is available for the period of your stay. You have to haul it all in, and the waste out.
But to others, and its no small number of folks, there is an added element that I just can't see a pop up working well for, and that is where the location is not in a campground, or wilderness area of any sort, but rather on pavement. I.E. a Walmart Parking lot, curbside, or just getting a few zzzzs at a rest stop so you can keep on driving safely.
Yet, I know that pop ups would give me the willies in a Walmart parking lot for example, but not too long ago, I came across some folks that were obviously staying in their pop up, curb side on a fairly empty hunk of road behind a truck stop. Roof popped up and bunk ends fully out and secured.
This has always been my biggest hesitation to a pop up vs. a travel trailer. Although an Aliner I would at least feel more secure. Any other "pop up, hard sided" campers out there anyone care to share?
To me, boondocking is the same as dry camping - No water, sewer nor electric hookups. To many it means the same, except it's out in the wilderness (boonies) somewhere. I accept either because the result of supplying your own water, sewer (toilet) and power is the same.
Arlyn Aronson, BillyMc and Katskamper like this.
To me, boondocking is camping outside of an established campground, with no ready access to flush toilets, garbage disposal, hot pizza and whatever one might have forgotten at home. So, a Walmart parking lot would not fit the bill for me.
I refer to camping at an established campground without hook-ups or running water as "dry camping".
Katskamper, jmkay1, kitphantom and 1 other person like this.
To answer your question - there are trailmanors and hi-los, both variations on a pop up hardside trailer. A couple companies made some that had the roof pop up about a foot or so, sort of like a 3/4 TT, with the expansion being canvas. Palomino made some, and I think about was Sunchaser?
My favorite is a one year wonder, Fleetwood Tacoma. A true hard side popup with no bunk ends. If I ever find one I would give serious thought to biting it.
Of course there are the old Apache pups too.
Palomino and Rockwood both made hybrid hardside pups with the main cabin hard walled and the bunks canvas.
Hi-Lo did make a hybrid for 2-3 years that had canvas tip out bunks.
and that is where the location is not in a campground, or wilderness area of any sort, but rather on pavement. I.E. a Walmart Parking lot, curbside, or just getting a few zzzzs at a rest stop so you can keep on driving safely.
This is how i'v always thought of the term boondocking also.
In the backcountry without showers, bathroom, snack bar, gift shop, others kids etc.. we just call that Camping.
Camping in the middle of nowhere, a landing on an unimproved logging road.
When a newbie comes up to the dock, under full sail, at the last moment releases the mainsail sheet, cuts hard to miss the dock, and drags the boom across the dock scattering everyone on it. No wait, that's boom docking. Wrong forum.
Maycat, friartuck, JiffyPopJunkie and 4 others like this.
A mountain top in North Central Pennsylvania, miles from the nearest community, no cel signal. That counts as boondocking.
BillyMc, Maycat, Katskamper and 1 other person like this.
To me, boondocking is what you said, and the second is dry camping.
I wouldn't pop-up at a rest stop (I'm sure it's not even legal) or a Wal-Mart. But the security of a hardside is only marginally greater than a pop-up. You could enter most any travel trailer with a good swift kick or a box cutter. Anyone prepared to do a "home invasion" of an occupied pop-up is probably not going to stop short of doing this to a harder rig.
I always thought the people referring to sleeping at Walmart as "boondocking" were making a joke, at least the first ones to call it that were. It's not a campground. You have to provide your own everything. It's free. It's wild. Get it? HAhaha I'm boondocking at Walmart!
I wouldn't sleep in a parking lot. If there is a Walmart, there's probably a motel. In a sleep-deprived emergency, I could see maybe sleeping in a rest stop in my car or in my truck camper but not in a popup. And I don't have that sort of emergency cuz I'm a grownup! I guess some people actually plan to do it to save money and time, but I'd rather spend the money and time.
Campground - in the wilderness.
RV park- in an urban or suburban area.
Dry camping - camping without hookups in a campground.
Boondocking - camping without hookups outside of a campground.
Overnighting - sleeping overnight in a parking lot or rest area.
Stealth camping - NOT camping; overnighting in an urban/suburban area where it is illegal to be overnighting (usually on neighborhood streets).
RVing - staying at an RV Park with or without hookups.
My favorite is a one year wonder, Fleetwood Tacoma. A true hard side popup with no bunk ends.
tell me about this one. sounds like the idea i have for a no pull out popup.
Here is a brochure .
Any other "pop up, hard sided" campers out there anyone care to share?
My FNR is a Hard sided popup. Just raise the roof (hydraulics) and then walk inside and push the two side walls up. For a quick night's sleep, you can leave it at that - bed is already made and accessible. To set it up fully, there are two internal walls that fold up. In the down position, one lays over the couch and the other lays over the sink and stove.
When I start traveling in it, I expect to do a few overnighters while enroute to a destination. But my plan is to stay at an RV park with hookups every 3-4 days to empty the grey and refill the fresh. At my destinations, I will spend 3-4 days dry camping with 1-2 days at the RV park in between.
@Sneezer my FnR is very similar to the Tacoma. It looks like with the Tacoma, you manually drop the front and back walls and then the hydraulics lower the sides and roof. With mine, you manually drop the sides, then the hydraulics lower the front and back and roof.
My interior has a short couch, and an upper and lower double bed at the front. Table in front of the couch, but it's so big, I took it out and use a TV tray. I don't have an oven... Mine is shorter than the Tacoma by a good few feet.
When a friend sent me the link for the FnR on sale, I tried to ignore it for about 5 days. By then I was in such a tizzy, I just had to have it and was so worried it'd be gone. Fortunately, the guy who owned it was particular and didn't let anyone buy it who didn't have a vehicle that could safely tow it (it's a lot heavier than the average popup).
...I guess some people actually plan to do it to save money and time, but I'd rather spend the money and time.
FWIW, I haven't and I don't camp in parking lots, or on any curbside anywhere, but I can see a LOT of circumstances where it would be desireable, or even neccessary.
Not everyone has the luxury of the extra time or financial resources to just spend the money and time as you say.
There are other reasons as well though. Not sure many here are doing this, but I have seen LOTS of TT folks that travel selling home made wares in various craft shows, renaissance festivals and such. $30.00 a night for an RV park cuts deep into the budget if you are on the road 6 months out of the year.
A good example would be let's say would be a young-sh family. I will use the following as an example.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones live in Galveston Texas (You'll see a LOT of Galveston County references from me, sorry!) They have 2 kids, and a 3 day holiday weekend to go see Grandma and Grandpa in, oh... let's say Grandpa's hunting cabin in the woods vaguely near Little Rock Ar. Now Grandpas hunting cabin is just an old Canned Ham Trailer big enough for Grandma and Grandpa. So the Jones family drag their pop up with them. Drive time towing, which typically is done slower than unladen in a sports car, is 10 hours. Mom and dad have the SUV and PU packed and ready to go. They pick the kids up from school at 3:30 - 4:00 depending on the school district. So let's say you want to maximize Grandma and Grandpa time for the kids. Leave at 4:00 on a Friday, in Houston, rush hour.... Get through Houston to say the Livingston TX area by about 7 PM and the kids by then are getting hungry, need a potty break etc... Stop and get a bite to eat, bathroom break, and back on the road let's say by 7:30. Your trip due to rush hour, and that break just extended another 2 hours. So you have total travel time at this point at 12 hours, you make more progress down the road, driving carefully of course, by the time midnight rolls around you are probably going to about an hour away from Texarkana TX. The smart move is to find a place to pop up, get some shuteye, and hit the road refreshed. (I know of several spots in that vague description area that are perfect). Get everyone up and going again by about 7 AM, and be in camp with Grandma and Grandpa by lunch time with the grandkids right? The other option is for that same struggling family to keep going for another hour, stop at one of the hotels in Texarkana, being on the road with their kids when the drunks are out etc... Not the best option.
Now of course if Grandma and Grandpa could have on their retirement time, come down to see the kids, maybe had everyone meet at one of the beautiful Texas State Parks, heck even Lake Livingston, they could have had Friday night dinner and hot chocolate together!
Overnighting at Walmart, etc., are useful for a quick sleep.
Some us them extensively as a cheap way to live. You can find youtube videos showing how to shower with an outside shower in a walmart parking lot, and other such things.
The wife and I are planning to get a Trailmanor 2720QS or 2720QD when the kids are out. You can pop them up without unhitching and they are hard sided. The 2720QB has more sleeping room, but less floor space. This is the smallest version with two larger version being available. The largest is 31' when opened.
edit-with the QS or QD models you loose fresh water storage 20 gallons as opposed to the QB 40 gallons.


(RNS) What would an "atheist Lent" look like? A group of young nonbelievers are finding out, observing the Christian practice minus its religious context.
They have given up alcohol, animal products, and various Internet and cellphone interactions. One has vowed to make a daily Lenten practice of telling those he encounters how important they are to him.
But their observance of the 40-day period in which many Christians abstain from worldly desires in a bid to come closer to God has upset some atheists who say borrowing religious traditions is antithetical to nontheism.
The exercise has also illustrated a divide in the nontheist community -- between older atheists who see religion as inherently evil and younger atheists who are more open to interactions with religious belief.
"I really like the idea of Lent," said Chelsea Link, 23, a Boston-based Humanist who is abstaining from alcohol. "It's giving yourself a set amount of time to break a bad habit or form a new good one, and that seems like a really healthy practice. But we are not doing it because God told us to; we are doing it because there is a benefit to us."
The idea of atheist Lent came from Vlad Chituc, a 23-year-old atheist blogger, who was inspired by the Swiss-born Humanist Alain de Botton, whose recent book, "Religion for Atheists," suggests adapting religious rituals can create community and meaning among nonbelievers.
"Religions have been working on how to live as good human beings for thousands of years," Chituc said. "So it made sense to me that they have figured out some stuff that those of us trying to live good secular lives can learn from."
Chituc observed his first Lent last year by eating a vegan diet. His success was limited, but he was inspired by the mindfulness of the experience.
"Atheists love to talk about abstract intellectual values like logic and reason," he said, "but I realized that there were other things I needed to think about and I started being more aware of them."
This year, Chituc, a lab manager in Durham, N.C., invited several fellow atheist bloggers to join him in observing Lent. A half dozen agreed, and they are tracking the experience on the blog NonProphet Status. All but one are under the age of 25.
Their posts have upset some atheists, including Tom Flynn, executive director of the Council for Secular Humanism. He wrote an online column refuting the idea and calling Lent, "one of the most profoundly anti-humanistic features of Christianity."
In a telephone interview, Flynn singled out Lent as dangerous because it suggests atonement can be gained by giving something up -- like meat on Fridays -- instead of by making amends to those who have been wronged. And because atheists are not bound to a liturgical calendar, they can practice abstention any time.
"More broadly, we have to be cautious in borrowing traditions and forms from the churches," Flynn said. "There is an awful lot in congregational practices that hark back to an earlier pre-democratic, pre-Enlightenment time and that can bring a lot of baggage that is contrary to secular ideals."
Chituc, meanwhile, is unimpressed with that argument. Instead, he is concerned he might offend religious observers of Lent.
"They might think it is trivializing to say all Lent is about is giving something up," he said. "It is obviously more than that to them, so I am trying to say we are not trying to capture the meaning of your tradition, we are trying to make the most of our lives, and we have found something meaningful and useful in what you are doing."
Virginia Kimball, a Catholic theologian at Assumption College in Worcester, Mass., who mentors people in Lenten practices, sees nothing wrong in atheists borrowing Lent. The desire to find meaning in ritual, she said, is a universal human desire.
"I give every credit to these young people who are humanists and atheists because they are sensing that human life is more than just animal processes and that is worthy of the great philosophers," she said.
Chris Stedman, author of "Faitheist," a memoir of his journey from evangelical Christianity to atheism, has joined Chituc in observing Lent. He thinks young atheists are more accepting of religious forms and believers than their older counterparts because they have grown up in a more diverse environment than previous generations.
"So it does not surprise (me) when I see people under 30 who identify as atheists and yet are curious about the religious beliefs and practices of their peers," Stedman said. "I think this is a trend, that we are going to see more interactions between religious believers and atheists and I think we'll also see more borrowing from the religious traditions."
Link, the Boston Humanist who's giving up alcohol, agrees. She said she is distancing herself from organized atheism because of the hostility she feels it exhibits towards religion.
"I think there is definitely a transition going on," she said. "A lot of younger atheists are saying,'I don't believe in God either, but I don't understand why you are foaming at the mouth about it.'"

Ryan Henderson signs pre-contract agreement with Linfield
Ryan Henderson has shown good form for Donegal Celtic
Donegal Celtic midfielder Ryan Henderson is to join champions Linfield at the end of the season after signing a pre-contract agreement.
The former Armagh gaelic footballer will join the Blues on a two-year deal.
Henderson was being courted by a number of other Premiership clubs, but opted to sign for the Windsor Park outfit.
Meanwhile cross-city rivals Glentoran have signed another DC midfielder, Stephen McAlorum, also on a two-year pre-contract agreement.
"We've had Ryan watched regularly throughout the season and he comes highly recommended by our scout Noel Bailie," said manager David Jeffrey.
"Ryan has also been watched by Bryan McLoughlin, Alfie Wylie and myself.
"He comes highly recommended as just the right type of player, and also as the right type of person with the right type of attitude.
"He is a goalscoring midfielder who will add something extra to the squad for next season.
"We know he had been approached by other clubs but Ryan had made it known that he wanted to come here and we're delighted to announce his signing.
"He will join us at the expiry of his contract with Donegal Celtic in a few weeks' time and we look forward to him joining us for pre-season training," added the Blues boss.
Henderson has scored 11 goals for DC this season.

A slug is a counterfeit mint that is used to make illegal purchases from a coin-operated device, such as a peddle machine, pay telephone, parking meter, transit farebox, copy car, coin laundry, gaming car, or arcade game [ http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:S53K7I12amcJ:www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title35/ar43/ch5.pdf+slug+coin+prosecution&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=10&gl=us&ie=UTF-8 ]. By resembling respective features of a genuine coin, including the system of weights, size, and condition, a punch is designed to trick the machine into accepting it like a real coin. Though slug usage is a trespass of the jurisprudence [ [http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=1893&ChapAct=720%26nbsp%3BILCS%26nbsp%3B235%2F&ChapterID=53&ChapterName=CRIMINAL+OFFENSES&ActName=Coin+Slug+Act. 720 ILCS 235/ Coin Slug Act ] ] ( with the demand crime vary by country, normally considered to be counterfeiting and/or larceny of services ), pursuance for sluggard usage is rare due to the abject prize of the larceny and the trouble in identifying the wrongdoer. Offenders in casinos are most likely to be prosecuted as casinos have high levels of video surveillance and early security measures, and are more proactive in enforcement. Losses caused to vendors by idle use may be the result of the loss of sales, the absence of gross following the distribution of trade that was obtained at the seller 's expense, or the personnel casualty of cash that is distributed by the machine for overpayment with slugs. Honest customers may besides suffer losses when the merchant 's losses are passed onto the customers, or when variety returned to an honest customer for overpayment is in the form of a type slug preferably than a genuine coin.

Slugs are normally made from metals differing from those of real coins. While genuine coins in the United States are made from diverse alloys of bull, nickel, and zinc, canadian coins are made largely from steel with some copper and nickel, and european coins are made from sword, nickel, and boldness, slugs are frequently made from differing metals and alloys that are cheaper to obtain and mold, such as aluminum, tin, and go.

Slugs may or may not have the face details of real coins. Some slugs that are made to match the confront details may not be immediately recognizable as such to handlers, and may enter circulation. Older, cheaper, and other low-tech machines that have fewer security measures are more likely to be defrauded by slug users. As an model, the full-mechanical machines still used today in candy machines can be fooled by a cardboard coin. many newer machines, particularly those found in casinos, have extra detection that can identify more details of coins and detect those that do not resemble real number coins.

Today is the birthday (1815) of Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace, known commonly as Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognize that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine. As a result, she is often regarded as the first to recognize the full potential of a "computing machine" and the first computer programmer. Whether or not she actually wrote the algorithms published under her name is under dispute, so the title of "first computer programmer" may not be warranted. However, what is not questioned is her insight that computing machines could be used for more than working with numbers. She realized that if you used numbers to represent other things, such as letters of the alphabet, computing machines could be used for a host of applications beyond numerical calculation. In essence, her insight is the foundation of all modern digital computers, although neither she nor Babbage ever put the theory into practice.
Ada Lovelace was the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron, and his wife Anne Isabella Milbanke ("Annabella"), Lady Wentworth. All of Byron's other children were born out of wedlock to other women. Byron separated from his wife a month after Ada was born and left England forever four months later. He died of disease in the Greek War of Independence when Ada was 8 years old. Her mother remained bitter and promoted Ada's interest in mathematics and logic in an effort to prevent her from developing her father's perceived "insanity" (that is, his inveterate wandering, Romanticism, and inclination towards poetry). Despite this, Ada remained interested in Byron and was, upon her eventual death, buried next to him at her request. She was often ill in her childhood. Ada married William King in 1835. King was made Earl of Lovelace in 1838, and Ada in turn became Countess of Lovelace.
Her educational and social desires brought her into contact with scientists such as Andrew Crosse, Sir David Brewster, Charles Wheatstone, Michael Faraday and also with Charles Dickens. Lovelace described her approach as "poetical science" and herself as an "Analyst (& Metaphysician)." When she was a teenager, her mathematical talents led her to a long working relationship and friendship with fellow British mathematician Charles Babbage, also known as "the father of computers", and in particular, Babbage's work on the Analytical Engine. http://www.bookofdaystales.com/charles-babbage/ Lovelace first met him in June 1833, through their mutual friend, and her private tutor, Mary Somerville. Between 1842 and 1843, Ada translated an article by Italian military engineer Luigi Menabrea on his ideas for an Analytical Engine, which she supplemented with an elaborate set of notes, simply called "Notes." These notes contain what many consider to be the first computer program—that is, an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine. She also developed a vision of the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching, while many others, including Babbage himself, focused only on those capabilities. Her mindset of "poetical science" led her to ask questions about the Analytical Engine (as shown in her notes) examining how individuals and society relate to technology as a collaborative tool. She died of uterine cancer in 1852 at the age of 36.
Throughout her life, Lovelace was strongly interested in scientific developments and fads of the day, including phrenology and mesmerism. After her work with Babbage, Lovelace continued to work on other projects. In 1844 she commented to a friend Woronzow Greig about her desire to create a mathematical model for how the brain gives rise to thoughts and nerves to feelings ("a calculus of the nervous system"). She never achieved this, however. In part, her interest in the brain came from a long-running pre-occupation, inherited from her mother, about her 'potential' madness. As part of her research into this project, she visited the electrical engineer Andrew Crosse in 1844 to learn how to carry out electrical experiments. In the same year, she wrote a review of a paper by Baron Karl von Reichenbach, "Researches on Magnetism," but this was not published and does not appear to have progressed past the first draft. In 1851, the year before her cancer struck, she wrote to her mother mentioning "certain productions" she was working on regarding the relation of mathematics and music.
Forget this world and all its troubles and if possible its multitudinous Charlatans—every thing in short but the Enchantress of Number.
Some historians think that Babbage was calling Lovelace the "Enchantress of Number" which only goes to show how stupid some people are. I'd count them among Babbage's "multitudinous Charlatans" for not being able to see that Babbage is calling numbers an enchantress, not Lovelace.
In 1840, Babbage was invited to give a seminar at the University of Turin about his Analytical Engine. Luigi Menabrea, a young Italian engineer, and the future Prime Minister of Italy wrote up Babbage's lecture in French, and this transcript was subsequently published in the Bibliothèque universelle de Genève in October 1842. Babbage's friend Charles Wheatstone commissioned Lovelace to translate Menabrea's paper into English. She then augmented the paper with notes, which were added to the translation. Lovelace spent the better part of a year doing this, assisted with input from Babbage. These notes, which are more extensive than Menabrea's paper, were then published in Taylor's Scientific Memoirs under the initialism AAL.
Lovelace's notes were labelled alphabetically from A to G. In note G, she describes an algorithm for the Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers. It is considered the first published algorithm ever specifically tailored for implementation on a computer, and Ada Lovelace has often been cited as the first computer programmer for this reason. The engine was never completed so her program was never tested. Explaining the Analytical Engine's function was a difficult task because even many other scientists of the day did not really grasp the concept and the British establishment was uninterested in it. Lovelace's notes even had to explain how the Analytical Engine differed from the original Difference Engine. Her work was well received at the time. Michael Faraday described himself as a supporter of her writing.
The notes are around three times longer than the article itself and include (in Section G), in complete detail, a method for calculating a sequence of Bernoulli numbers with the Engine, which could have run correctly had Babbage's Analytical Engine been built. (Only his Difference Engine has been built, completed in London in 2002.) Based on this work Lovelace is now widely considered the first computer programmer and her method is considered the world's first computer program.
Lovelace and Babbage had a minor falling out when the papers were published when he tried to leave his own statement (a criticism of the government's treatment of his Engine) as an unsigned preface—which would imply that she had written that also. When Taylor's Scientific Memoirs ruled that the statement should be signed, Babbage wrote to Lovelace asking her to withdraw the paper. This was the first that she knew he was leaving it unsigned, and she wrote back refusing to withdraw the paper. The historian Benjamin Woolley speculated that: "His actions suggested he had so enthusiastically sought Ada's involvement, and so happily indulged her … because of her 'celebrated name'." Their friendship recovered, and they continued to correspond. On 12 August 1851, when she was dying of cancer, Lovelace wrote to him asking him to be her executor, though this letter did not give him the necessary legal authority. Part of the terrace at Worthy Manor, the Lovelace country estate, was known as Philosopher's Walk, as it was there that Lovelace and Babbage were reputed to have walked while discussing mathematical principles.
[The Analytical Engine] might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine…Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.
This analysis was an important development from previous ideas about the capabilities of computing devices and anticipated the implications of modern computing 100 years before they were realized. Walter Isaacson ascribes Lovelace's insight regarding the application of computing to any process based on logical symbols to an observation about textiles: "When she saw some mechanical looms that used punchcards to direct the weaving of beautiful patterns, it reminded her of how Babbage's engine used punched cards to make calculations." Of course, those of us who were computing in the 1970s know the trials and tribulations of punchcards. Youngsters with smart PCs have no idea.
Ada saw something that Babbage in some sense failed to see. In Babbage's world his engines were bound by number…What Lovelace saw—what Ada Byron saw—was that number could represent entities other than quantity. So once you had a machine for manipulating numbers, if those numbers represented other things, letters, musical notes, then the machine could manipulate symbols of which number was one instance, according to rules. It is this fundamental transition from a machine which is a number cruncher to a machine for manipulating symbols according to rules that is the fundamental transition from calculation to computation—to general-purpose computation—and looking back from the present high ground of modern computing, if we are looking and sifting history for that transition, then that transition was made explicitly by Ada in that 1843 paper.
Though Lovelace is referred to as the first computer programmer, some biographers and historians of computing claim otherwise.
All but one of the programs cited in her notes had been prepared by Babbage from three to seven years earlier. The exception was prepared by Babbage for her, although she did detect a 'bug' in it. Not only is there no evidence that Ada ever prepared a program for the Analytical Engine, but her correspondence with Babbage shows that she did not have the knowledge to do so.
Add to this statement her obviously prescient insight that "computing machines" could go far beyond algorithms for number crunching and you have the measure of her contribution to modern computer science.
Boil the eggs hard, take out the yolks entire, and cut the whites in slips, with some onions and mushrooms. Fry the onions and mushrooms, put in the whites, and turn them about a little; then pour off the fat, if there be any; flour the onions, &c. and put to them a little good gravy. Boil this up, put in the yolks of the eggs, and add a little pepper and salt; then let the whole simmer for about a minute, and serve it up.
What this amounts to is a dish of boiled egg yolks in a mushroom and onion gravy containing sliced egg whites. Not that complicated, and would make a nice brunch dish if you are into that sort of thing.

Q: Macbook Pro keeps ejecting anything I put into the internal optical drive My hard disk crashed and I need to reinstall Mac OS X. I restart, insert the installation DVD, press c on the keyboard and the dvd ejects. I've tried different DVDs, even CDs. It's a Macbook Pro from march 2008.
Is it broken? Or can it be something more severe like the firewire controller on the motherboard (since I noticed this after my hard drive started to act strangely)? I've ran Apple Hardware Test successfully.

A: I had the exact same fault. The drive is faulty and needs to be replaced.

A: Just did something that worked for me. After trying to insert a Leopard install DVD several times with all results ending in it being ejected, I lay the laptop so the back of the display side was resting on the floor, resulting in the keyboard side being 90 degrees to the floor. I inserted the DVD downwards into the slot, and it was recognized!
I can't assume that it would be this easy for anyone else, but it worked for me, so you may as well give it a try.

A: You could try using a CD cleaning disc first.  Some people have reported this cures it.
Mine only ejects blank discs.  And it's rather rare for me to burn anyway.

A: It seems to be an issue with slot-loading disc drives - I have this problem with two separate machines (an original Macbook Pro, and an iMac G5) - both drives will work with most discs fine, but with others it constantly eject them, as you describe (it's happened with some writable CD/DVD's, the OS X install disc, a game installer DVD etc - no obvious reason or pattern..)
They are both well outside any kind of warranty, and since the iMac is horrible to open up (it seems to be constructed with selotape and tinfoil..), and I rarely use the DVD drive on the laptop, I ended up buying an external USB DVD-burner - which you can buy them for about £30 now..
PPC machines cannot boot of a USB device, but luckily the internal drive would take the OS X install disc fine.. If that fails, you can boot from a secondary harddrive partition, or disc-image, which could be setup from a different machine

A: First of all, are you sure you´re doing it with the right timing? This may sound silly, but if you try to insert the DVD to quickly (e.g. at the time your Mac chimes) it will throw it out in the instant - just keep on holding the "c"-key and after a few seconds feed it the DVD.
Also, how exactly did you try different CDs? Are they all bootable?
And lastly: do you have an external Hard Drive? Then you could try booting from it (for instance by cloning the Mac OS X disk onto it).

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Legislation making sure public schools are available for voting during elections is heading to the governor.
The Senate voted 22-12 Tuesday to approve the legislation backers say is needed to make sure voters have someplace to vote and that lines aren't overly long, leading to voter suppression.
Those opposed to the legislation say it puts school children at risk by forcing schools to be open to voters for elections.
Officials say public schools make up about 28 percent of the polling places throughout the state and are accessible for people with disabilities.
Backers say public schools are the only possible polling locations in some areas.
Backers also say the legislation is designed to give schools flexibility and can take appropriate precautions.
The bill passed the House 61-7 earlier this month.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) has announced plans to set up a Development Bank division of the organisation to increase funding for national programmes and multilateral projects of the participants of the organisations.
It would also help prevent a financial crisis by using joint action and would help shape the international financial system, the Uzbek official media said today, Chinese deputy foreign minister Chen Gopin said at a meeting of the SCO Business Council.
He said that China is ready for continuous investment in the special account of the organisation and the SCO Development Bank in the next 10 years. It will continue delivering preferential loans and assistance to member states of the organisation. The Uzbek delegation was headed by Uzbek first deputy prime minister and finance minister Rustam Azimov at a meeting of the SCO Business Council.
The participants of the meeting discussed the implementation of the SCO Business Council projects for the period until 2015. Particular attention was paid to creating a system of logistics terminals in the regions of member countries, observers and partners, introducing innovations and, in particular energy saving technologies.
The issues of using new financial and insurance products to more effectively organise the projects of SCO Business Council were considered.
Rustam Azimov and vice prime minister of the Chinese State Council, Wang Qishan separately discussed plans for the development of Uzbek-Chinese economic cooperation.
During the talks both sides stressed that a joint declaration on the establishment of the strategic partnership between the two countries, signed by the heads of Uzbekistan and China will give a new impetus to cooperation during Uzbek President Islam Karimov's visit to China.
The intergovernmental agreements on technical and economic cooperation, cooperation in the field of veterinary medicine, quarantine and plant protection and a programme of cooperation between the Foreign Ministries in 2012-2015 were also signed following the visit.
Chinese vice Prime Minister Wang Qishan said that pragmatic cooperation between China and Uzbekistan in the field of economy, trade, energy, investments and other fields has laid a solid foundation for the development of bilateral relations.
"Both sides should spare no effort to make every effort to enrich the strategic partnership between the two countries," he said.
Azimov expressed hope for successful implementation of a number of important cooperation projects between the two countries, including the construction project of the Chinese-Kyrgyz-Uzbek railway, as well as projects in the areas of energy and agriculture.


The Board of Directors of the African Development Bank Group has approved an equity investment of up to $25m in ARCH Africa Renewable Power Fund, a $250m private equity fund for renewable energy projects in Nigeria and across Sub-Saharan Africa.
A statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja on Tuesday by AfDB said that ARPF would provide equity for the development and construction of 10 to 15 Greenfield renewable energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.
This is expected to add approximately 533MW of installed energy generation capacity from renewable sources in the region and provide both base load and peak load power in underserved markets.
ARPF projects will focus on mature technologies including wind, solar PV, small to medium hydro, geothermal and biomass.
These would include grid-connected independent power producers, and decentralised energy projects (commercial & industrial solar, mini-grids and solar home systems companies), the bank said, adding that the Fund's strategy was to prioritise projects with a clear timeline to financial close, with emphasis on de-risking early stage Greenfield projects.
It said that the bank's presence was expected to act as a catalyst for other investors to commit further $60-$75m equity from non-DFI sources.
The bank would also ensure that the highest environmental and social standards, together with climate change and gender considerations, were applied to the ARPF's projects, it added.


The General Statistics Office (GSO) began a national population and housing census on April 1 to evaluate national targets and indicators of sustainable development.
This is the fifth national census the country has conducted over the past 50 years.
The census will investigate general population information, migration status, academic attainment level, technological specialization, disability rate, marital status, birth and death rate, population growth, labour and occupation, residency and people's basic living conditions, said GSO Head Nguyen Bich Lam.
The date will be gathered over the course of 25 days with the preliminary results to be announced in July.
The sample survey results will be issued at the end of 2019, and the general census will be published in the second quarter of 2020. Specialised analyses are to be reported in the last quarter of the same year.
It is estimated that Vietnam's population by 2019 will be approximately 95.4 million throughout over 25.9 million households.
The survey will be carried out at over 173,000 locations, requiring the participation of more than 122,000 investigators and supervisors.
