Millions of Venezuelans voted to reject President Nicolás Maduro's plan to rewrite the nation's constitution. The non-binding referendum was organized by the country's political opposition. More than 7 million, roughly one-third of Venezuela's registered voters, took part, with over 98% rejecting Maduro's plan. Opponents charge that the plan to rewrite the 1999 constitution represents an effort to consolidate Maduro's hold on power. There was a deadly attack on one polling place in Caracas.
Millions of Venezuelans voted on July 16 to reject President Nicolás Maduro's plan to rewrite the nation's constitution. The non-binding referendum was organized  by the country's political opposition. More than 7 million, roughly one-third of Venezuela's registered voters, took part, with over 98% rejecting Maduro's plan . Opponents charge that the plan to rewrite the 1999 constitution represents an effort to consolidate Maduro's hold on power. Maduro states  that the National Constituent Assembly (ANC), consisting of 527 elected members, is the only solution to bring an end to the anti-government protests that have brought significant violence to the country. The non-binding was met with sporadic violence; several men on motorbikes opened fire on a polling station in Caracas, injuring three and killing a 61-year-old nurse. The government has refused to recognize the vote as legal and will go forward with plans to hold an election for the ANC on July 30 to select delegates for a special assembly that will be responsible for rewriting the 18-year-old constitution.

Q: Conflict in dateadd operation in SQL2016 but not 2012 I found a difference in behaviour of adding date and datetime types in SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2016.
For the query:
select convert(date,getdate())+getdate()

I get error in SQL2016:

The data types date and datetime are incompatible in the add operator.

In 2012 it returns no error, just corect sum of dates.
What is the reason of such behaviour?

A: In SQL Server 2012, the operators were (silently?) changed to disallow mismatched types being added or subtracted. It apparently relates to the SQL Server 2008 ability to store Date and Time separately. You will need to cast to a common type (e.g. cast to date then to datetime).
Seems like a pretty large breaking change to me, but apparently Microsoft felt is was needed.

WALTON COUNTY, Fla— Deputies locate a stolen trailer and motorcycle at a home in DeFuniak Springs and later find the suspect hiding underneath the house.
Monday afternoon Walton County Sheriff's Office received information regarding a sighting of a stolen trailer and motorcycle in the area of Double L Road. Deputies on patrol in the area noticed a white Chevrolet parked in the backyard of a home off of Lancelot Road. The truck had a trailer attached with a red motorcycle fitting the description of the stolen property.
Deputies made contact with the home's owner who gave them permission to search inside. After further investigation deputies were able to determine David Wayne Wray Jr., 26, as the suspect and discovered he had fled through a trap door in the floor of the house. Wray was located two hours later hiding under the home.
Wray was arrested and charged with grand theft auto and transported to the Walton County Jail. Wray also had an active warrant for theft of utilities.


TOKYO (Reuters) – Crude oil prices hovered near three-month lows on Tuesday, with investors waiting for key reports and data that may shed light on a supply overhang in the global market.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) <CLc1> was down 7 cents at $48.33 a barrel, as of 0716 GMT. The contract ended down 9 cents in the previous session after touching its lowest since the end of November at $47.90.
Brent crude futures <LCOc1> gained 3 cents to $51.32 a barrel, having settled down 2 cents on Monday after dipping as low as $50.85.
Both benchmarks had slightly fluctuated during Asian hours.
Prices fell sharply last week as investors worried that swelling U.S. crude supplies would hinder Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries's (OPEC) efforts to restrict output and reduce a global glut.
Prices rose after the OPEC and other major oil producers, including Russia, had agreed in November to rein in production by almost 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in the first half of 2017.
"It's shaping up to be another fun week in the crude complex, with OPEC releasing its monthly oil market report on Tuesday, swiftly followed by the IEA's monthly oil market report the day after," Matt Smith, analyst at ClipperData, said in a note.
The International Energy Agency releases its closely watched monthly oil market report on Wednesday.
Data from the industry group the American Petroleum Institute on U.S. crude and product stockpiles is also due later on Tuesday.
U.S. shale oil production in April was set for its biggest monthly increase since October as output in the Permian Basin, America's fastest growing shale oil region, was expected to hit another record high, government data showed on Monday.
"I think this week is crucial to give us an idea of where prices will be for the rest of the year – all eyes will be on API data later, and a sniff of another big crude build and down we go towards $45," said Matt Stanley, commodities broker, Freight Investor Services.

If you are enrolled to a Medicare supplement plan that doesn´t cover the Medicare part B deductible, then you don´t have to worry. There will be no changes affecting you. The changes made will affect those, who are enrolled to Medicare supplement plans that cover for this expense. Why? Because the new law forbids health insurance companies to sell supplement plans that cover the part B deductible.


Nico and Chantal pledged their vows to each other at the classic VIP Mansion and had the whole audience in tears. Their personal vows sounded like that of pure poetry. Lucky for us Brian Perry captured the love between them perfectly in this wedding video.
Congratulations Nico and Chantal! We wish you nothing but happiness and love!
Today's Throwback Thursday is dedicated to all of those magical movie weddings that gave us butterflies and had us crying into our pillow! Hollywood sure knows how to design a great wedding, and what better than beautiful celebrities as the Mr. and Mrs.?! Today we go back to remember some of the special moments really stand out to us.
1. Father of the Bride (1991) This movie will make you laugh, cry, and love everything about the traditional wedding ceremony! Amazing that they fit the entire reception in their house; I've always wondered exactly how they did that under that gorgeously lit white tent! And who doesn't want swans at their wedding?
2. Runaway Bride (1999) Julia Roberts is a master at the romantic comedy; we just can't get over how stunning she looks in a wedding gown! In Runaway Bride she has the pleasure of wearing multiple, but the last one is our favorite.
3. Bride Wars (2009) Remember when we all wanted to get married on June 5th at The Plaza? It was a popular day, especially in this movie of two best friends that taught us your wedding should be better than everyone else's and you altar yourself to fit Vera. (just kidding) We just can't forget the way The Plaza looked while Liv (Kate Hudson) walked down the aisle in that gorgeous Vera Wang!
4. Mamma Mia (2008) We sang ABBA all the way till the end of the movie. Even though, Amanda Seyfried and her beau don't end up being the ones to get hitched, we cannot take away the fact that their wedding was spectacular! In a church, on a hill IN GREECE! Reception under the evening stars.
When someone is getting married, one of the top things on their list to-do is get in shape! Your wedding is one of those days you want to look and feel your absolute best. Some brides go overboard, get way too stressed about hitting the gym, and then give up easily. Some are not as motivated and so the idea of getting into an exercise routine can be overwhelming. Therefore, we have come up with a list of just 5 baby steps to kickstart your pre-wedding workout journey!
1. Decide and Commit: Think about exactly what you would like to accomplish; do you need to tone up, lose inches, or shed some pounds, etc.? Now choose an exercise and eating regimen to get you closer to that goal! Generally, eating "clean" and high intensity cardio are a great combo to start with! Remember that what you eat is just as important as working out. Committing also means having accountability. Whether it's your fiancé, a close friend, or a trainer, you will need someone to ask you how it's going and maybe they will even hit the gym with you!
3. Create a playlist: Take some time, go through your iTunes account and create a specific pre-wedding workout playlist. It should be about 45 mins so you can time it with your routine. Put some songs you want played at your wedding so that you can visualize your transformed body and the big day while the song is on!
4. Drink plenty of water: On a normal basis you need about 8 glasses of water per day; this still applies when you are getting married! Not to mention what all of this hydration will do for your skin, it will have amazing effects.
5. Be confident and happy with yourself: At the end of the day, remember that your fiancé loves you for who you are. Out of all of the people in the world they chose YOU to be their life partner. No matter what the outcome is of your work out routine, you will radiate beauty if you are confident in your self.
So get out there and move! Good luck!
So in the spirit of "thanks" and "giving," there are people that are sometimes overlooked when it comes to the wedding day. People who have been there for you in your lives individually or as a couple, and now they are there as witnesses on your big day…your guests!
Even with the honor of being invited, the great food, drinks, and fun that come a long with your wedding it's special to go an extra mile to say "thank you for coming" to your guests. Here are some simple ideas that make your guests feel like you were thinking about them.
Personalized Cup-Whether it's their own wine glass for the night, water goblet, or mug, a cute drinking glass is a great way to go! At this wedding at the Hamilton Oaks Winery, each place setting was fixed with a "mustache mug" with the couple's name and wedding date printed on.
Late Night Snack- Keep it simple with grab bags for guests on the way out! Fill it with cookies and milk, some protein bars, or even gum!
Mixed-CD for the ride home- This is a fun surprise for guests that they won't expect! Put together some of your favorite songs as a couple or even the playlist of your ceremony to keep it in their memories for the drive home.
Photo Booth- Definitely a wedding favorite! And now there are so many options: you can print strips, 5"X7" pictures, mini-books, and even little videos.

Spring experimentation lands Maciah Long at defensive end
Kansas linebacker Maciah Long shuffles over a line of pads during spring football practice on Tuesday, March 28, 2017.
Entering spring practices, Kansas football coaches weren't entirely sure what to do with sophomore Maciah Long.
As a true freshman, the Jayhawks' roster listed the 6-foot-2 Long as a tight end, but the Houston native got onto the field a couple of Saturdays as a burly wildcat quarterback.
However, when offseason practices kicked off in March, Long found himself taking reps at linebacker. At the time, defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said KU's staff was just trying to experiment and find the best fit for Long and his athletic frame.
"He's a bigger kid, a 250-pound kid and moves well and does some things well. So we could use him a few different ways," Bowen said before getting into the ideas the coaches bounced around for Long's sophomore season. "We could play him at true Mike linebacker and get a little bit bigger on some occasions. Some of the things we do with our defense, he could be a stand-up defensive-end-type guy, like we did a little bit last year with Cam Rosser, for that kind of stuff."
The linebacker trial didn't stick, but when the staff moved Long down to the defensive line and positioned him on the edge, they found something they liked. Long took the majority of his spring snaps at defensive end and it began to feel natural for him.
"I'm more of the speed guy on the outside," Long said, "really, anywhere that I can help the team out."
Although Long quarterbacked North Shore High to a Texas Class 6A Division I state championship as a prep senior in 2015, during KU's spring game he showed up defensively, playing the same position as his former high school teammate, All-Big 12 defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr.
Team Jayhawk running back Khalil Herbert (10) tries to get past Team KU safety Bryce Torneden (12) and defensive end Maciah Long (3) during the first quarter of the 2017 Spring Game on Saturday, April 15 at Memorial Stadium.
When a play broke down for third-string quarterback Tyriek Starks during the scrimmage, and the redshirt freshman QB tried to extend it by rolling out left, Long came off a block to sack Starks for a four-yard loss.
On another down, Long, after shedding his blocker, blew up a carry by running back Deron Thompson at the line of scrimmage.
Though taking on a dissimilar role from his freshman season at Kansas, Long didn't mind the change or that he switched from one side of the ball to the other.
"My first year was amazing here. I was just lucky to be on the field as a freshman," Long said. "It was really a great experience for me."
This fall, playing at defensive end — even though the D-line is the most skilled and accomplished position group on KU's roster — Long should get on the field far more often than he did in 2016, when he appeared in 10 games and ran the ball twice out of the wildcat formation for one yard.
"I think that group can be very talented this year, because you've got guys like Dorance, Daniel Wise… them guys really are the main core and really are the leaders of the defense to me," Long said. "They push everybody to be better and take it to the next level."
Long's coaches spent the spring identifying the ideal place to put him by observing how he moved and reacted in various assignments. He's glad they concluded to make him a defensive end.
"And it's going pretty good for me," Long added.
At first, Bowen didn't know for certain where Long would line up in 2017. But he expected the Jayhawks would figure out something.
"Because 250-pound guys that can move," Bowen said, "you've usually got to try and find a spot for them."
Brett McCabe 4 years, 7 months ago
Love Maciah's attitude about his trip through the position rooms. Still wouldn't mind seeing him lined up behind center in special situations.
If he can add depth, speed and intensity to the d-line, then this unit could take an even bigger step forward this year. With another summer of strength and speed training, it would not surprise me to see Maciah make a big jump this season.
Suzi Marshall 4 years, 7 months ago
Wish we could have red-shirted Long last year. Long is a player that plays to win with a lot of passion for the game. Hope we can get him on the field...anywhere.

Raul Braga is finally ready to admit the reason he's been so distracted of late is because of a man—but not just any man. Raul finds himself attracted to a wolf shifter named Sean Garcia who comes from a pack in Idaho. Even though his buddy has agreed to help him look into the shifter's current whereabouts, Raul doesn't have much faith that a member of the homophobic pack they've had problems with in the past would ever admit to being interested in him, too. Imagine Raul's surprise when Sean shows up on his doorstep.
Sean claims that Raul is his mate, which explains the attraction. Still, Sean didn't come alone. He has an infant girl with him. Sean is the legal guardian for his niece, Lily, who is his deceased sister's cub. Now, Raul has to decide if he's ready for not only a relationship with a male, but a male that comes with a ready-made family. Before he can start to figure things out though, Raul is sent away on an assignment. Although the kisses are mind-blowing, will they be enough to help him overcome his fear of settling down?

Take Action: Save 6 wild horse herds BLM wants to wipe out!
Posted on January 19, 2015 by Protect Mustangs
Wild horse expert sounds alarm
As the new Director of Ecology and Conservation at Protect Mustangs and a concerned Carson Valley resident, I attended the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) "Carson City District Draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) / Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)" meeting at the Spark's Nugget hotel casino on Tuesday, January 13, from 5 to 7 pm.
I spoke with several BLM officials including John Axtell, the Wild Horse and Burro Specialist for this district, and Leon Thomas, Field Manager for the Sierra Front Field Office. I voiced my concerns that stakeholders who previously gave much input for increased numbers and resources in regard to wild horses were being ignored in the Draft Resource Management Plan.
I heard the overview explanation of the document by Colleen Sievers, RMP Project Lead, and instructions for reviewing it. I had given earlier input during the 2012 Scoping meetings in Carson City, along with many other pro-wild horse stakeholders.
It's important to note there are two new wilderness designations that have just been passed by Congress for this area: Pine Forest and Wovoka Wilderness Areas.
Wild horses need you more than ever to stand up for them and here's why:
There are five alternatives presented in the RMP document, one of which is No Action, or status quo, that will include improvements for Sage Grouse survival, but little else. Another is for maximizing resource exploitation that would be disaster for many natural values upon which the long term survival of life depends. Another (Alternative C) is for maximizing conservation of nature, and another is for bringing a so-called balance of these (Alternative E). This is the preferred alternative although it does not allocate enough land, water and forage for native wild horses who are needed to reduce wildfires, restore balance to the ecosystem, and reverse desertification on public land.
The Conservation Alternative would greatly reduce livestock grazing and expand wilderness designations but pro-wild horse stakeholders and native wild horses themselves appear to have been ignored. Wild horses should be regarded as native restorers of these natural ecosystems, but in the BLM's Draft RMP there are serious errors which imply that they are non-native invasive pests with no value to the ecosystem. This, of course, is false.
In my preliminary view, and pending a more thorough analysis of this document, it's outrageous to see that federal officials appear to have completely neglected the wishes of stakeholders favoring wild horses. They unfairly sided with wild horse enemies to zero out herd management areas (HMAs). The BLM's preferred alternative are plans to zero out six wild horse "herd management areas," (HMA's) rendering them "herd areas." This is a twisting of language by which the original designation of a "herd area" as an area for wild populations of wild horses/burros in perpetuity, now according to BLM means an area where the wild horses/burros have been eliminated, or "zeroed out."
John Axtell told me that there was not enough forage or water in these areas and that their numbers were too low. However, he conveniently failed to mention how cattle and sheep have been given the great majority of forage allocations in these same areas, or how the BLM has intentionally failed to exercise the wild horses and burros' Implied Federal Water Rights that come with any major federal act of Congress in order to secure their basic survival requirements.
The areas that the BLM appears to be planning to zero out in the preferred alternative includes some HMA's north of Reno such as Granite Peak and Flannigan that have been assigned truly ridiculous, low appropriate management levels (AML)—plus or minus 20 or so horses.
The minimum number for a genetically viable herd is 2,500 wild horses, according to the IUCN Species Survival Commission Equid Specialist Group and these levels are even a far cry from the suspect 150 individuals that BLM documents often cite as being genetically viable for a population.
BLM also wants to eliminate the historic Wassuk wild horse herd in the Wassuk HMA just north of Mt. Grant–where Axtell told me about 125 wild horses still survive.
Axtell claimed there was not enough forage for the horses here. I can't believe this. I have repeatedly visited this wonderful spirited herd of Spanish-type mustangs and over many decades.
Nevadan biologist and teacher Steven Pelligrini studied the Wassuk herd for his Master's Degree in biology at the University of Nevada-Reno. His thesis was presented to the public and to the Congress in support of the passage of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, when he went to testify together with Wild Horse Annie and his professor Dr. John Pontrelli of UNR.
The Carson City BLM's RMP is targeting our wild horses for removal yet it is mandated to protect them. There exists large-scale public support for them both among the local public, nationally and internationally.
We must stand up and fight for the Wassuk wild horses and for the other venerable wild horse herds that are being dishonestly used as scapegoats for abuses attributable to uncaring people.
I noticed that at the meeting leaders of the Toiyabe Sierra Club and long time wild horse enemies, were present, and engaged with the BLM wild horse specialists and other officials. It appears they have been working to undermine the wild horse presence on public lands for many years, and I am very disturbed about this.
In the "Toiyabe Trails" publication that goes out to many thousands as a free quarterly publication, their President, Tina Nappe seems to be given carte blanche to badmouth wild horses, while those who used to be afforded the opportunity to reply, such as myself, no longer are given this basic right, even in the form of a short letter to the editor.
In spite of the horrible news in the RMP, I was urged to make a strong statement concerning my reasons against the proposed "zeroings out". These would include how the wild horses are not getting fair grazing allocations compared to livestock in their legal areas, failure to develop or fend for watering sources for the animals and illegal fencing prohibiting their "free-roaming" lifestyle, an inherent part of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.
Protect Mustangs is calling all wild horse supporters to speak out strongly in an informed and intelligent manner, for the wild horses and burros of the Carson City BLM District. This RMP/EIS revision will govern land use policy for the next 15-20 years and we must not allow it to be a death sentence for the wild horses and burros, which it largely appears to be.
This is the public's chance to improve the treatment of the wild horses and burros, and we cannot allow another act of subterfuge.
The proposal can be viewed online at http://on.doi.gov/1uYBNGT and more information can be found here: http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/carson_city_field.html
Here are some talking points:
1.) Both horse and burro evolution originate and have immense multi-million year duration in North America.
2.) As post-gastric digesters, different from ruminant digesters, the equids truly restore balance to the North American ecosystem. There is a lopsided preponderance of ruminants today, encouraged by established rancher, hunter, and other linked interests.
3.) Natural predators must not continue to be persecuted and eliminated, such as puma and wolf, natural predators of the wild equids.
4.) PZP and other tamperings with basic biology and social structure of wild horses and burros is contrary to the "minimum feasible" management tenet of the WFHBA as stated in Section 3 a. See my 19 points of law on pages xi to xiii of The Wild Horse Conspiracy. See sections on PZP in the Index as well
5.) Also look up "Pine Nut wild horse herd area" in the Index of my book for more specific information http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Horse-Conspiracy-Craig-Downer/dp/1461068983

Crash in New York
WABC-TV is reporting that the plane which crashed into that apartment building on New York's Upper East Side was registered to Yankees pitcher Corey Lidle. Mr. Lidle, who was believed to be piloting the aircraft, died in the crash, along with three other people.
Lidle's death came 27 years after another Yankees player, All-Star catcher Thurman Munson, died at the controls of an aircraft he was piloting. Munson was practicing touch-and-go landings at the Akron-Canton, Ohio airport in August 1979 when he failed to lower the flaps on his Cessna Citation jet, causing it to crash short of the runway.
According to media outlets and the FDNY, a small plane has crashed into the upper floors of a building on the city's Upper East Side. According to the FBI, there are no indications that the crash was a terrorist act.
Live video from WABC-TV.
WNBC-TV is reporting that at least two people were killed in the incident. Bodies were found in the street below the burning apartments, along with luggage, presumably from the aircraft.

I'm inclined to consider the crash of any aircraft into a high-rise structure (especially in NYC) as evidence of terrorism until demonstrably proven not.

Spook, recall there was a significant amount of interest placed in a Aussie Defence dept white paper by one Carlo Kopp on the subject of crude EMP weapons use and proliferation, back in 1997. His white paper was titled "The Electromagnetic Bomb - a Weapon of Electrical Mass Destruction", and it was picked up and popularized by Popular Mechanics in [interestingly] their August, 2001 issue.
Post 9/11, I noticed that this white paper was suddenly propagating all over the internet. In fact, a Google search today pulls up Maxwell AFB's website as the first "hit" of the search.
One of Kopp's main assertions in this white paper was that basically anyone with a degree in EE could build a crude "Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator" for less than USD$500. Hypothetically, one could be dropped by a GA aircraft over, say, Redmond WA, causing quite a bit of economic damage.
Another threat that could apply to GA aircraft would be the use of MANPADS by small aircraft that violate airspace near international airports. This may sound far-fetched until one realizes that with the southern border as porous as it is, sneaking in MANPAD components via Coyotes is entirely possible, and a fully laden 747 - or A380, whenever that white elephant goes into revenue service - would be a very tempting target.

There were some mistakes in the Finnish lyrics, but I think I got the correct translation.
What are the mistakes in the lyrics? I'll fix it.
Instead of "ei tultu kotiin vaikka sieltä soiteltiin"
I hear "ei tultu kotiin vaik sieltä soiteltiin".
Vaik and vaikka mean the same, vaik is just used in spoken Finnish.
There are quite many other mistakes and missing words.


The Men's Golf Association schedules several fun golf events throughout the season where members compete for points and prize money. The top 30 point earners qualify to play in the last event for a chance to win one month of FCC dues. However, the most important aspect of the MGA is that the money generated is used for golf course improvements. Over the years the MGA has spent several thousand dollars on golf course related projects. Within the last two years, the association purchased new equipment to house the water coolers located on the course. Other recent projects include the rebuilding and stone work around #2 tee and the expansion and stone walls added to the tee boxes on holes #7, #16 ,and #17.
Many of the MGA members are active participants in and enjoy the events that are planned by the Association, but there are members who very seldom participate in the events and some who don't at all. While the Association does encourage it, your participation in the events is not required to be a member of the Men's Golf Association. With that being said, the annual dues paid to the MGA play a very significant role in the funding of future projects, which is why we highly encourage you to become a member, no matter your level of participation.
Annual dues are $30.00 and each event has a $5.00 or $10.00 entry fee. If you are interested in joining, please contact Club Manager, Clay Moody, at 270-586-9118. The more members and support we have, the more we can do for our beautiful golf course! If any MGA member has any suggestions for future projects, please pass the information along to Clay.
You may play on any one of these dates. You must sign up and pay the entry fee in the pro shop the day you are going to play the event.
If you would like to join the Men's Golf Association, contact Jeff Moody or Clay Moody. Annual dues of $30.00 will be billed on the next statement.

4 Types of Crashes Account for 84% of Crashes
In 2015, The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration published data showing the distribution of the most common pre-crash scenarios (PDF). For example, just four crash categories accounted for 84% of all crashes:
29% of the vehicles were involved in rear-end crashes
24% of the vehicles were turning or crossing at intersections
19% of the vehicles ran off the edge of the road
12% involved vehicles changing lanes
How Waymo Tests Its Vehicles to Avoid Collisions
Waymo uses the 37 pre-crash scenarios based on the almost 6 million police-reported light vehicle crashes that NHTSA recommends for testing as a starting place. Waymo tests situations in which other road users create potentially dangerous situations, such as:
Vehicles suddenly pulling out of driveways
Large vehicles cutting across target lanes
Motorcyclists weaving through traffic
Pedestrians jaywalking
Avoiding these kinds of crash scenarios is an important goal for Waymo's testing program.
Waymo has completed thousands of crash avoidance tests at its private test track. Each of these tests recreates a distinct driving scenario and allows Waymo to analyze its vehicles' response. Waymo then uses its simulator to test these scenarios further and improve its overall software capabilities.
Independent Analysis
Safety is the core of Waymo's mission. When Waymo started to develop this technology nearly a decade ago, it realized that just as it was inventing brand new, highly sophisticated technology, it would need to build its own safety program to match.
Waymo's multi-layered approach to safety is influenced by a braintrust of NASA engineers, NHTSA safety experts, and specialists from defense and auto industries, among others. Together, they created a playbook for rigorous and comprehensive development and testing of this technology to evaluate safe performance.
Waymo has involved external experts to advise on safety-related aspects of its program and shared its views with federal and state regulators as well as organizations (e.g. SAE, VTTI, American Center for Mobility) interested in developing guidance and standards in this area.

Q: Can you setup a match where both the home and away team is the same? We are holding a competition and need to keep things as even as possible, so is it e.g. possible to play a two player match between Barcelona and Barcelona in Fifa 11, 12 and 13?

A: Yes that feature is still in the game. Any team in the game can be played against itself.


HE'S crossed the floor of parliament in Canberra for his political beliefs, but now Dawson MP George Christensen has proven he will cross borders and seas for love.
Mr Christensen, in a rare interview about his private life, has revealed he will wed his partner of 18 months April Asuncion after popping the question three weeks ago.
But the outspoken MP is the first to admit he wins "no brownie points" in the romance game, choosing to ask for Ms Asuncion's hand in marriage over the phone.
Ms Asuncion, 31, hails from Quezon City in the Philippines, where she currently resides.
"I don't want to get too mushy but she's the one for me," Mr Christensen told the Daily Mercury.
The pair met through mutual friends at the beginning of 2017 while Mr Christensen was holidaying in the southeast Asian nation.
One thing led to another, and Mr Christensen soon found himself proposing over the phone, with Ms Asuncion yet to slip on her engagement ring – a white gold solitaire diamond ring.
"We've been dating so long, I thought well it's time to take it to the next level or not at all," he said.
"She was speechless for a while, which wasn't good, but she said yes.
"April's a very practical person and someone who is very down to earth.
An archipelago of more than 7000 islands, the Philippines is a largely Catholic republic. Tagalog, the Filipino language, is the second most spoken language in the Mackay region behind English.
Mr Christensen's interest in the Philippines stems from the large Filipino population in Mackay. He was appointed the Chair of the Parliamentary Friends of the Philippines.
"I took a greater interest in the country and that inspired me to take a self-funded holiday there where I met members of their congress, visited tourist spots and looked at some of the local charity work being done there," he said.
Mr Christensen has travelled to the Philippines eight times in his life, but a moment that stands out for him is a trip in 2015 to Smokey Mountain, in Tondo, Manila, where he went to view the work of a charity. Smokey Mountain is a village built on top of a landfill.
Driving out of the city, overwhelmed by the smells and level of poverty, Mr Christensen said he learnt a big lesson about the country when he watched a young boy running with a makeshift kite.
"Happy as Larry, I thought to myself, unbelievable… we place so much emphasis on material culture and here are children living in situations that we wouldn't even have nightmares about," he said.
"[Filipinos] have very strong values around family, around community, around faith.
"And just good humour and getting on with getting on, and that's what I really connect with.
Ms Asuncion stayed in Mackay for a month late last year, meeting her future in-laws and seeing the sights, including being "bored witless" in Parliament House.
"I felt so much happiness… Mackay is a wonderful place with amazing people," she said.
But the happy couple will wait a while before officially tying the knot, with Mr Christensen hoping to win back his job before he says 'I do'.
"I have a little thing called an election campaign to get out of the way first," he said.
And as for the prospect of children, Mr Christensen said it was one step at a time for now.

Machel Cedenio has earned a reputation for finishing fast. At the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, the Trinidad and Tobago quartermiler stormed past the Bahamian and Cuban anchormen to hand his country gold in the men's 4x400 metres relay.
And Cedenio's trademark finishing power ensured silver for T&T at the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China, in a two minutes, 58.20 seconds national record run.
An earlier display of Cedenio's strength came at the Carifta Games in 2011 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Jevaughn Minzie celebrated prematurely what he thought was victory in the boys' under-17 200 metres final. Cedenio, however, had other ideas, surging past his Jamaican rival to grab gold.
Overhauling his opponents is now a way of life for Cedenio. Born in the south Trinidad town of Point Fortin, some 90 kilometres from the capital, Port of Spain, Cedenio attended the prestigious secondary school, Presentation College, San Fernando. But instead of moving on to the American collegiate circuit, he opted to turn pro.
"When I first went to the professional camp that I'm in now, the Lance Brauman camp in Florida, I wasn't a professional athlete yet. I went there to basically train for World Juniors. Brauman decided he would assist me with my training.
Preparing for the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships under the guidance of Brauman bore fruit. Cedenio was in a class of his own at the global under-20 meet in Eugene, Oregon, USA. He produced a 45.13 seconds T&T junior record run in the final to strike gold, finishing more than a second faster than Japanese silver medallist Nobuya Kato (46.17).
With that victory, Cedenio became only the second athlete from T&T to win a World Juniors 400 metres title, following in the strides of 2006 champion Renny Quow.
Cedenio was only 19 when he advanced all the way to the men's 400 metres final at the 2015 Beijing Worlds. He finished seventh in the championship race.
Cedenio's first Olympic experience, at the 2012 London Games, was not much fun. A 16-year-old alternate on the 4x4 relay squad, he never got onto the track. However, Cedenio has turned that negative into a positive.
"Being in London and not being able to run motivated me. It showed me that I wasn't where I was supposed to be at the time, and made me step up my game to ensure that next time I wouldn't be waiting for the team manager to pick me. I'd be ready. I'd pick myself.
"My coach said to always go to the championship knowing that you're the first pick. Never be the second pick or the third pick. I think the London experience was the best experience of my life. It was an eye-opener for me.
Cedenio opened his own doors in the ensuing years. In 2013, he dived under 46 seconds for the very first time. World Juniors gold was the highpoint of his 2014 season. And then, in 2015, the T&T athlete joined the sub-45 club with a 44.36 seconds scorcher, reached the World Championship individual 400 final, and anchored his country to 4x4 silver at the global meet.
The focus this season is on the Rio Olympics. Cedenio is now 20, and determined to make an impact on the world's biggest sporting stage. Preparation on the Road to Rio has been intense.
Cedenio is especially close to his mother, Diane Cedenio.
Diane would have been particularly pleased with her son's 2016 season-opener, the 2014 world junior champion winning in Florida with a 44.79 seconds clocking. Five more sub-45 runs followed, for a total of six so far this season in nine outings. The latest of those fine performances came in mid-July at the Herculis 2016 IAAF Diamond League meet in Monaco. Cedenio clocked a personal best 44.34 seconds to snap up silver, behind South Africa's reigning world champion Wayde van Niekerk (44.12).
To challenge for one of the three 400 metres medals on offer in Rio, Cedenio would probably need to run a lot faster than Morris' 24-year-old T&T standard. Van Niekerk, Grenada's reigning Olympic champion Kirani James, and American LaShawn Merritt have all been in fine form this season. As a result, Cedenio would likely require a sub-44 clocking to be in the medal mix. It's a big ask, but certainly not beyond the fast-finishing one-lap specialist.

Center on Sentencing and Corrections
Diversionary Treatment Units (DTUs)
Pennsylvania Department of Corrections
Historically, in the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, when an individual committed a serious institutional rule infraction, that person would be swiftly removed from the general population and placed into a segregated Restricted Housing Unit (RHU), until seen by a Hearing Examiner for disposition of the allegations or charges. Depending on the severity of the infraction and if found guilty of the rule infraction, the individual could be sentenced to reside in the RHU for up to 90 days per rule infraction. For example, if an individual was asked by a corrections officer to return to their cell and the individual refused the order, insulted the corrections officer by using foul language, and then banged his head on the floor once the corrections officers attempted to restrain him and resisted the restraints being applied, that individual could be sanctioned to 360 days in the RHU, due to four institutional rule infractions (that's correct, we used to punish individuals who self-injured themselves or attempted suicide).
Once placed into an RHU, the individual would be restricted to 23 hours per day, in-cell restriction 5 days per week (i.e., most weekends, individuals were locked down for 24 hours per day), with movement and privileges severely restricted. Individuals housed in RHUs were afforded three showers per week and an hour of exercise out of the cell per day, with only several other basic privileges required through constitutional case law. Conditions within RHUs were typically drab, uninspiring, dark, and populated with an institution's most incorrigible, disruptive, shrewd, and dangerous individuals that presented the most significant security concerns to the overall institutional operations. Mental health contacts occurred at reception and then every 30 days thereafter and as needed. However, these contacts were very generic and not very focused. A brief suicide risk screen was also completed by the lead corrections officer (i.e., typically a lieutenant). As such, all mental health services were basically provided on a crisis intervention basis to all individuals admitted and confined to RHUs; all were basically "treated" the same from a mental health perspective, in that, all received monthly contacts whether or not they were currently receiving mental health treatment, diagnosed with a mental illness, or prescribed psychotropic medications.
Unfortunately, what was discovered was that individuals admitted and confined under these conditions, did not typically improve and many times decompensated even further. It was discovered that many times, individuals initially confined to an RHU for 30 or 60 days ended up confined to the RHU for several years at a time due to the aggregate accrual of institutional infractions received while in the RHU. It was not uncommon for individuals housed in RHUs to have disciplinary custody time that exceeded their formal sentence, for which they were incarcerated. Historically, any individual could be admitted to the RHU, if they were charged with a serious enough disciplinary infraction or the institutional administration requested enhanced administrative or security measures (i.e., administrative segregation/custody). Placement into RHUs was indiscriminate, in that any individual charged or sanctioned with a disciplinary or administrative sanction would be confined in the RHU, regardless of their mental health status, diagnoses, suicide history, or individual treatment plan. Alternative housing units for individuals sanctioned for disciplinary reasons did not exist.
In 2016, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) made reforms to its use of segregation for treatment of people with serious mental illness, after a federal investigation. Although there is limited data on PA DOC's use of segregation, the Department of Justice officially ended its investigation in 2016 after PA DOC implemented reforms.
After much reflection, consideration, and advocacy, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections developed Diversionary Treatment Units (DTUs). DTUs were developed to supplant RHUs and to divert individuals diagnosed with serious mental illnesses, significant functional impairments, and intellectual disabilities to an enriched treatment unit, where the individual's mental health treatment needs and security needs would both be met, without sacrificing one or the other. DTUs were not RHUs. DTUs were brightly painted treatment units, with inspirational quotes, murals, motivational landscapes, and recovery oriented language that aimed to persuade and influence those individuals receiving treatment therein. Indeed, the basic premise of DTUs was to create a treatment unit that could meet the needs of seriously mentally ill individuals who have recently been sanctioned for a serious institutional rule infraction. DTUs were not only equipped with televisions, radios, clocks, and bright lights, but also a variety of secure cubicles, individual treatment chairs, and secure group treatment tables. The goal of the DTU was to provide individualized mental health care treatment to seriously mentally ill individuals that recently demonstrated an enhanced security need and enhanced need for mental health treatment.
However, the difference between DTUs and RHUs is far more than simply appearance. Processes, treatment planning, out of cell time, and staff training requirements and selection criteria specific to the new treatment unit were established. Staff members selected to work on DTUs were required to receive several specialized trainings in order to qualify for DTU posts. The training requirements to work on DTUs for correctional officers included completion of the 8-hour Mental Health First Aid course and the 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team Training (CIT) course. Other new processes that were developed for this solution were treatment plans based on the recovery model, out of cell treatment service delivery, and strategically placed mental health contacts associated with the disciplinary process. Additionally, DTU policy revisions created enhanced safeguards for seriously mentally ill individuals, which creatively crafted, still held individuals accountable for their actions (i.e., seriously mentally ill or not) and encouraged the use of the informal disciplinary process for less serious infractions, which resulted in far less individuals being sent to a restrictive setting like an RHU.
The three most significant developments associated with the DTU were the minimum requirements for out-of-cell time, the utilization of crisis oriented treatment plans aimed at treating the individual for the underlying reasons they were sent to the DTU, and the strategic placement of a focused mental health assessment prior to DTU or RHU placement. The purpose of the mental health assessment is for a mental health professional to determine whether the individual meets inpatient commitment criteria. After all, a sentinel event has presumably just occurred (i.e., a serious rule infraction) and determining the existence of a diagnosed serious mental illness, significant functional impairment, or intellectual disability would suggest that placement into an RHU would be counterproductive. This assessment did not previously exist—instead, individuals that committed serious rule infractions were immediately segregated from the general population, as well as from the enhanced mental health services and other supports provided to those confined outside of the DTU or RHU. This occurred because we simply assumed that those people acted voluntarily in violence or aggression, rather than considering the potential impact of an existing serious mental illness, significant functional impairment, or intellectual disability.
As a result of the implementation of these assessments, we saw a 10 percent rise in the number of people being committed to inpatient treatment. This suggests that the disciplinary processes previously in place resulted in the segregation of seriously mentally ill individuals who should have otherwise been placed at our highest and most acute level of inpatient mental health treatment.
Once cleared by the mental health assessment for placement into the DTU, the clinician immediately and collaboratively (i.e., with the individual) creates an Individual Recovery Plan (IRP), which serves to direct the individual's course of treatment during their time in the DTU. For example, if we consider the above original scenario involving a resistant inmate, and it was determined that the individual had Schizophrenia and that they were resisting because they believed the corrections officer was a ghost (a visual hallucination) that was attacking him because of his catholic faith (paranoid delusion), then appropriate treatment goals for DTU placement would include learning to live with psychotic disorders, anger management, and violence prevention. The basic premise is that the goals developed would be specific to the individual's needs and to the underlying incident in question. However, this is only part of the formula. Once the IRP was developed, treatment groups and settings also needed to be developed within DTUs to be able to deliver mental health treatment to individuals that presented with not only enhanced mental health needs but also enhanced security needs.
The result was the offering of a minimum of 20 hours per week of out-of-cell time for every individual housed in a DTU. In most cases, individuals are now offered far in excess of 20 hours per week out of cell, to participate in groups and programs directly related to their needs and identified through the Individual Recovery Plan. The offering of these out of cell programs is completed by all disciplines involved in the multidisciplinary treatment team, referred to as the Psychiatric Review Team.
This DTU solution did not come easy. Before we could develop the processes, procedures, units, and policy revisions associated with the DTUs, we needed to solidify the definition of serious mental illness, accurately identify those individuals that met the new definition of serious mental illness, recalibrate our mental health classification system, consolidate seriously mentally ill individuals to 14 specific state correctional institutions within our system, and augment staffing ratios of clinical, administrative, and security professionals in order to meet the new programmatic, clinical, and security needs of these units and individuals. Following these major conceptual and paradigmatic shifts, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections proceeded with implementing outpatient Residential Treatment Units (RTUs) that would serve as step-down units from DTUs. Accordingly, similarly missioned outpatient units, that provided enhanced outpatient mental health treatment in a far less secure setting than DTUs were created to complement the transitioning periods of individuals discharged from DTUs and those individuals that required enhanced outpatient mental health treatment needs. The RTUs and DTUs now function well together as a feeder and landing system for one another, meeting the enhanced security and mental health treatment needs of individuals diagnosed with serious mental illnesses and incarcerated in Pennsylvania state prisons.
All areas outlined above were extremely crucial to the department's success. Though it is not explicitly written above, culture change remains the single most important obstacle to our continued success. Changing the way that correctional professionals think about incarcerated individuals is essential to treatment outcomes being successful. Integrating correctional officers into the treatment teams was a key factor as well. It is no secret that these individuals spend far more time with our patients that we do as mental health professionals; their input, guidance, and opinions should not be marginalized.

In the Powell River real estate market, we had the strongest October in sales at 51 since I started charting the monthly data in 2013. It's the third strongest month in that period overall. At the same time, the inventory of homes for sale was the fewest since 2013 which has created the strongest sellers' market in almost 5 years and possibly before that. It may be that the tightening of mortgage rules has pushed some buyers to move more quickly to beat the January 1, 2018 deadline, but local mortgage brokers don't seem to feel that the new 'stress test' to qualify for a mortgage will have a major impact in our market. Our prices are probably the best on the lower coast and the lifestyle is stellar (by my own reckoning!) The current conditions are a recipe for continued upward pressure on prices and continued frustration on the part of buyers – particularly those living outside Powell River. Buyers will have to act quickly and decisively to get the home they want!
Since July this year a 'stress test' has been required of buyers applying for mortgages who had less than 20% to put down toward the cost of a home . Such mortgages are insured by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp (CMHC) and considered riskier than those with the 20% downpayment. These measures are part of the government's oversight in the housing and lending markets to prevent large-scale default in the event of a significant change in interest rates or housing prices. The stress test simply requires that borrowers qualify at an interest rate about 2% above what they'll actually end up with. If you can't qualify, you can't get the mortgage.
Beginning January 1, 2018, all borrowers will have to qualify at the higher level. It's estimated that the stress test will reduce the amount of the mortgage by about 20% which will put some people right out of the market and others will have to downsize their expectations for the size or quality of their new home considerably.
Getting a mortgage on bare land can be a challenge. Some lenders will not offer a mortgage on a lot even with a large downpayment. However they may have line-of-credit or other loan options available to facilitate the purchase of bare land. Before jumping into the idea of buying a lot, do your homework about how you might finance it.
Building lots (along with homes for sale) are tough to find in this busy market. You may have noticed signs up south of town near the Lang Creek Hatchery. Currently, Sandstone Developments are proposing a rezoning of 77 acres south of the hatchery on the water front and up behind it for a residential development. There are several approvals needed before the project can go ahead, but they anticipate creating 75-80 lots plus 5 km of trails and 20% open space. Sandstone has spent $50,000 on upgrades to the Lang Creek water system prior to any approvals. At the public meeting held in October, the most concern seemed to be about water supply and whether there would be enough for new and current users.

The City of Tshwane is home to the Union Buildings - residence of the Presidency and his government and home to the South African Parliament. A place of history, culture and democracy.
The Administrative Capital of South Africa
Voortrekker Monument
Kruger House Museum
The Union Buildings
Includes: English tour guide, all entrance fees applicable to the itinerary
Collection from Johannesburg Hotel
Depart Johannesburg and travel for approximately 1 hour northward to Pretoria, South Africas administrative capital. The first stop for the afternoon is the Voortrekker Monument. The massive granite structure, located on a scenic hilltop in a beautiful nature reserve, was built in order to commemorate the Voortrekkers (Dutch Settlers) who left the Cape Colony and travelled inland during The Great Trek (1835-1854). Explore the monument before continuing on to the Kruger House Museum.
Arrive at the Kruger House Museum; the last house in which President Paul Kruger lived between 1883 and 1901 before he left South Africa to go into exile in Europe. The Kruger House Museum lies just a few blocks from Church Square where his bronze statue takes centre stage facing the Palace of Justice.
Church Square in central Pretoria was the site of the citys first church, built in 1855. During its early years, the square was used as a marketplace and sports field and today is the grandest civic square in the city and among the great attractions in Gauteng. The Palace of Justice, one of the many architecturally astounding buildings surrounding the square, is where former president Nelson Mandela and several of his comrades were tried and charged for treason during the infamous Rivonia Trial.
Union Buildings
End the tour of the City of Tshwane with a drive past the Union Buildings which form the official seat of the South African Government and also house the offices of the President of South Africa. Stop for a photo opportunity before heading back to Johannesburg for return to your hotel in the early evening.

Le cimetière « Denain Communal Cemetery » est un cimetière militaire de la Première Guerre mondiale situé sur le territoire de la commune de Denain, Nord.

Localisation
Ce cimetière est implanté à l'intérieur du cimetière communal, route d'Oisy.

Historique
Occupée dès la fin  par les troupes allemandes, la ville de Denain est restée loin des combats jusqu'en . La ville était un centre hospitalier allemand pendant la plus grande partie de la guerre. Le cimetière communal était utilisé par les Allemands pour enterrer leurs soldats et, en 1917 et 1918, 153 prisonniers britanniques morts de suite de blessures ou de maladies. Un cimetière britannique a été réalisé à l'extrémité sud-est, après la prise de la ville. Après l'armistice, les tombes des prisonniers et d'autres tombes britanniques ont été regroupées à proximité.

Caractéristique
Il y a maintenant plus de 309 victimes de la guerre 1914-18 commémorées sur ce site. Parmi celles-ci, 15 ne sont pas non identifiées et des monuments commémoratifs spéciaux ont été érigés pour quatre soldats britanniques et trois soldats canadiens, enterrés dans des parcelles allemandes, dont les tombes n'ont pu être trouvées.
