Plowshares/Pruning Hooks a Federal Matter

Selling points for Pratt & Whitney economic development incentive package shown during commissioners' meeting.
Asheville –
The Buncombe County Commissioners agreed to a $27 million tax abatement agreement with Pratt & Whitney after about 30 citizens complained they did not want local government enabling a multimillion multinational manufacturer of tools of war.
The Buncombe County Commissioners heard an earful in a strange plot twist in the practice of awarding economic development incentives. At their meeting two weeks prior, they announced their intention to award up to $27,000,000 over a 14-year term to Pratt & Whitney (P&W). Payment would be in exchange for P&W deciding to locate a one-million square-foot facility in the area with an investment of $650,000,000 and the creation of 800 jobs with an average salary of $68,000, for which P&W would work with A-B Tech to train local talent. P&W was described as a Fortune 500 company with 40,000 employees and annual revenue of $42,000,000,000 in 2019.
It is standard operating procedure for exercises like this to pass without a blink, only pausing for elected officials and corporate executives to drone, "This is exciting." This time, however, almost thirty people managed to navigate the commissioners' new rules for public comment to voice opposition. While the comments proceeded like an organized protest, no coordinating entity was named. Remarks did, however largely echo a narrative disseminated by The Asheville Blade.
Talking points from the hit piece/exposé stemmed not so much from the obvious concern that, as small businesses–the backbone of the economy–are being forced to close under the weight of the COVID-19 crisis, the commissioners are providing tax relief to a multimillion multinational. Incentives will not be paid until the company meets targets for capital investment and employment stated in the contract. Policy analysts have long maintained political calculations of returns on tax abatement programs ignore utilization of tax-funded services like public safety and education, along with wear and tear on public infrastructure resulting from new business operations and employees. Some speakers did, however, express interest in splitting the millions among local small business owners on the brink instead.
But that was not the point of the protest. The concern was that P&W is a division of Raytheon and that the Asheville plant will likely be producing engines for F-35 fighter jets. From there, callers protested that Raytheon was selling these carriers of deadly weapons to Saudi Arabia, which, in turn, was using them to bomb innocent civilians in Yemen, per graphic news stories. Many spoke eloquently with colorful language; many also gave only their first names, leaving open the possibility that they were seminar callers working a broader territory.
As a small sampling of the earful, Gerry Werhan, president of the local chapter of Veterans for Peace, said Raytheon was doing everything his organization was organized to oppose. Aaron characterized P&W as manufacturing "the most sophisticated instruments of human misery for profit …. for the US imperial war machine" and the corporatists as having a "hollow void and desire for profit where their moral compass should be." She further asked why the commissioners were investing in such a depressed industry whose only course to revitalization might be "more global unrest to justify spending." Susan said the commissioners were being controlled by corporations, and subsidizing this "leading merchant of death … making a killing off of killing … was extremely nauseating to me."
Cynthia asked what had been done by way of environmental impact analyses and how P&W would clean up when they left here for greener pastures, as they had left Connecticut to come here. Rachael Bliss urged, "Let Raytheon pay its own way, like our artists." And David Putnam asked WWJD and answered he would "not be collaborating with arms dealers and dealing with murder. He'd be chasing the people who are doing that out of the temple."
Following the string of accusations that they would have blood on their hands, the commissioners appeared unmoved. Chair Brownie Newman took the heat, reading remarks prepared ahead of time in anticipation of the backlash. He, like the other commissioners, said he shared constituents' concerns, and passed the buck. Calling attention to the flaws of entangling alliances and the military-industrial complex, Newman argued that, as commissioners, it was their responsibility to bring high-paying jobs to the area. It was the federal government's job, should a relocating employer happen to manufacture tools of war, to shape policy in ways that protect innocent lives. Newman added it wasn't like the county had a long list of high-wage-paying industrialists lined up to set up operations on that spot.
Commissioner Joe Belcher reflected comments Newman made a couple decades ago. "I don't like incentives, I never liked doing them, I wish we didn't do them across the country at all," said Belcher. He didn't bother to finish with the worn-out rejoinder about needing to stay competitive with other jurisdictions, but said he thought smaller companies would be starting up in the area as induced economic multipliers.
Jasmine Beach-Ferrara said the county had been in negotiations with P&W for fifteen months. She said she supported the tax abatement for the children. She likened this to the county's investing $10 million in solar panels and supporting local businesses seeking to expand as "one way we help" 46% of the county's children who are born into poverty. Amanda Edwards advocated for the project as diversifying the local economy away from tourism and making community colleges more relevant. Al Whitesides claimed the incentives would help lift people of color out of generational poverty, Anthony Penland said P&W would provide relief for families that would like to return to a one-job household lifestyle, and Robert Pressley just made a motion to approve the package, which was adopted unanimously.

Q: Similar Triangles and the Power of a Point Let a line $k$ be tangent to a circle $o$ at a point $D$.  Let $A$ and $B$ be points on $o$ such that $AB$ is parallel to $k$.  Let $C$ be a point on $k$ such that the line segments $CA, CB$ intersect $o$ in points $E$ and $F$.  Prove that the line $EF$ intersects $CD$ in a point $M$ that is the centre of $CD$.  Hint:  prove that $\angle ECD=\angle MFC$ and find similar triangles to compute $|M C|$.  Then use the power of $M$ with respect to $o$ to compute $|M D|$
I tried using the hint but I could not prove the angle part. I tried using Thales with respect to the point $F$ and the segment $MC$ and line $AB$ but I did not get anything,
Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

A: $ABFE$ is a cyclic quadrilateral, then (by property of cyclic quadrilateral)
$$\angle EAB =\angle EFC$$
Also $\angle EAB =\angle MCE$, because $AB$ is parallel to $DC$.
From this we have that $MCE \sim MFC$. Hence
$$\frac{MC}{MF}=\frac{ME}{MC}$$
This implies that $ME\cdot MF=MC^2$.
From here is easy conclude the problem.

https://stats.libretexts.org/@app/auth/3/login?returnto=https%3A%2F%2Fstats.libretexts.org%2FCourses%2FHighline_College%2FBook%253A_Statistics_Using_Technology_(Kozak)%2F05%253A_Discrete_Probability_Distributions%2F5.03%253A_Mean_and_Standard_Deviation_of_Binomial_Distribution
If you list all possible values of \(x\) in a Binomial distribution, you get the Binomial Probability Distribution (pdf). You can draw a histogram of the pdf and find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of it.
For a general discrete probability distribution, you can find the mean, the variance, and the standard deviation for a pdf using the general formulas
\(\mu=\sum x P(x), \sigma^{2}=\sum(x-\mu)^{2} P(x), \text { and } \sigma=\sqrt{\sum(x-\mu)^{2} P(x)}\)
These formulas are useful, but if you know the type of distribution, like Binomial, then you can find the mean and standard deviation using easier formulas. They are derived from the general formulas.
For a Binomial distribution, \(\mu\), the expected number of successes, \(\sigma^{2}\), the variance, and \(\sigma\), the standard deviation for the number of success are given by the formulas:
\(\mu=n p \quad \sigma^{2}=n p q \quad \sigma=\sqrt{n p q}\)
Where p is the probability of success and q = 1 - p.
Example \(\PageIndex{1}\) Finding the Probability Distribution, Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation of a Binomial Distribution
When looking at a person's eye color, it turns out that 1% of people in the world has green eyes ("What percentage of," 2013). Consider a group of 20 people.
State the random variable.
Write the probability distribution.
Draw a histogram.
Find the mean.
Find the variance.
Find the standard deviation.
a. x = number of people who have green eyes
b. In this case you need to write each value of x and its corresponding probability. It is easiest to do this by using the binompdf command, but don't put in the r value. You may want to set your calculator to only three decimal places, so it is easier to see the values and you don't need much more precision than that. The command would look like \(\text{binompdf}(20, .01)\). This produces the information in Example \(\PageIndex{1}\).
P (x=r)
\(\vdots\) \(\vdots\)
Table \(\PageIndex{1}\): Probability Distribution for Number of People with Green Eyes
Notice that after x = 4, the probability values are all 0.000. This just means they are really small numbers.
c. You can draw the histogram on the TI-83/84 or other technology. The graph would look like in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\).
Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Histogram Created on TI-83/84
This graph is very skewed to the right.
d. Since this is a binomial, then you can use the formula \(\mu=n p\). So \(\mu=20(0.01)=0.2\) people.
You expect on average that out of 20 people, less than 1 would have green eyes.
e. Since this is a binomial, then you can use the formula \(\sigma^{2}=n p q\).
\(q=1-0.01=0.99\)
\(\sigma^{2}=20(0.01)(0.99)=0.198 \text { people }^{2}\)
f. Once you have the variance, you just take the square root of the variance to find the standard deviation.
\(\sigma=\sqrt{0.198} \approx 0.445\)
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Suppose a random variable, x, arises from a binomial experiment. Suppose n = 6, and p = 0.13.
Describe the shape of the histogram.
Suppose a random variable, x, arises from a binomial experiment. Suppose n = 10, and p = 0.81.
Approximately 10% of all people are left-handed. Consider a grouping of fifteen people.
According to an article in the American Heart Association's publication Circulation, 24% of patients who had been hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction did not fill their cardiac medication by the seventh day of being discharged (Ho, Bryson & Rumsfeld, 2009). Suppose there are twelve people who have been hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction.
Eyeglassomatic manufactures eyeglasses for different retailers. In March 2010, they tested to see how many defective lenses they made, and there were 16.9% defective lenses due to scratches. Suppose Eyeglassomatic examined twenty eyeglasses.
The proportion of brown M&M's in a milk chocolate packet is approximately 14% (Madison, 2013). Suppose a package of M&M's typically contains 52 M&M's.

The Bible consists of small units, woven together into 'books', which were put together into the two Testaments, which were put together into one Bible. The meaning of the sentences of a unit depends on its context, including who is its author. When a unit is put into a book and the book eventually put into one Bible, the meanings of its sentences change, since the context changes. The meaning of a sentence regarded as a sentence of the whole Bible depends crucially on who is the author of the whole Bible. If God inspired its compilation, then he is its author; and in that case passages of the Bible must be understood to have the meaning they would have if he had written it—for example, all its sentences must be understood in such a way as to be consistent with each other, and with everything else God knows (for example, the truths of science and history). Our only grounds for believing the Bible to contain revealed truth are that the Church declared that God inspired it.

Walking Through Adversity: Women Artists of the Great Basin
By Sheryl Gillilan on November 18, 2018 • ( 1 Comment )
Many years ago, when my larger-than-life uncle drove from his home in Florida to Salt Lake City he arrived at my parents' house and bellowed, "What a godforsaken place you live in!" Which was shocking to me since I had always considered my homeland one of the most beautiful places in the country. I mean, where else can you get this kind of space, color, light and piercingly blue skies in the autumn?
Women Artists of the Great Basin, text by Mary Lee Fulkerson and photographs by Susan E. Mantle, pays homage to 32 women artists who "prove there is much richness, life, and creativity in what has often been dismissed as a barren desert." Ranging in age from 50 to 80, these women describe their journeys to art along roads often marked by painful twists and turns, with the added challenges of being largely responsible for holding their families together and raising children. In fact, many of the profiled artists employ techniques familiar to their history as women, like stitching, weaving, making do with less, and using materials at hand. As clay sculptor Gillian Hodge once said, "Artists who work in unnoble materials are opening the door to what art is, can be, and should be."
All the featured artists work in three-dimensional materials, and their work varies widely from glass, fibers, wearable art, knotting, storytelling with dolls, natural and synthetic mixed media, welding metal to lava rock, and enshrining the Twinkie—which does not decay over time. Three of the artists call Utah their home: Jann Haworth, Pam Bowman, and Sue Cotter.
Jann Haworth has made her mark in the contemporary art world with soft sculptures, life-size figures, and—of course—the co-creation of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover. She lived in England for 30 years, but moved to Sundance in the late '90s, where she created the Art Shack Studios, the Sundance Recycle Hot Glass Studio, and was co-founder of the Sundance Mountain School. Haworth credits her creative energy to living in Utah and says, "Dry air helps you to think clearly, and inventing things is part of the resourcefulness of the West. And when you're surrounded by desert, it loosens your mind."
Installation artist Pam Bowman bases much of her art on quotidian tasks, noting that there are "many endless loops in our lives—personal grooming, sleeping, cooking, doing dishes, going to a job day after day." Her labor-intensive creations illustrate how time-worn small tasks can "help to build strength, build character, and over time result in the 'becoming' of a greater, even more holy person." Unlike many artists, Bowman recycles her materials into other artworks or discards them altogether as her way of not contributing to the "overproduction and excess" of art derided by art critic Suzi Gablik. Perhaps this philosophy is reflected in her sentiment, "You can't live here without being affected by it" [light and space.] Resources can be tight in the Great Basin, and one must make the most of what one has.
Fulkerson notes that Sue Cotter, the third Utah artist portrayed in the book, "experienced poverty, displacement, and feelings of failure, but, like a river, she eddied around the rocky obstructions to pursue a career in art." Cotter's first encounter with the Great Basin was less than pleasant, since she cites her family's move to Las Vegas as akin to hell. Over time, however, she came to appreciate the land and became enthralled with the shapes of the contours as represented in topographic maps. She says, "The patterns of the land were beautiful. They seemed like a mystical calligraphy, a secret language. I began to incorporate topo-maps in my artwork." She later embraced artists' books as a way to tell the stories she wanted to tell, and still respect the land. She says, "I look west toward the desert that is so often overlooked, written off, considered a good place to dump toxic waste. The Basin makes you stop, be still, then move slow, explore carefully, sit down in silence, and absorb an indefinable presence."
Fulkerson's book is replete with good stories and quotes from various artists. For example, Kathleen Weymouth Durham, a storyteller who makes dolls, was told in high school that she had no talent. She quit making art until after she had her sons, and now says, "Every artist has a guy on her shoulder at one time or another who says you're not good enough. You have to knock him off."
Jill Atkins, an artist who makes unusual sculptural purses, had some personal life challenges that led her to embrace her favorite quote from Camus: "In the midst of winter, I found there was within me an invincible summer." Atkins says, "The trick is to find summer. And we need to make sure our self-talk isn't destructive. We get enough of that from the outside world."
Reflecting on Atkins' story, Fulkerson said, "I have written this book to highlight women like Atkins—women who have walked through adversity to create art that changes our perceptions of the world because they do it their way." And indeed she has.

The 32nd IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial service will be broadcast live via streaming video on Saturday, September 15. The ceremony in Colorado Springs, Colorado, officially begins at 11:00 a.m. Mountain Time.
At this year's memorial service, the IAFF will add 271 fallen fire fighters from the United States and Canada to the Wall of Honor.
Sara began her 16 year firefighting career on May 15, 2000 as a Firefighter I and spent the next 8 years working for CAL FIRE in the San Diego, San Benito-Monterey and Riverside Units. Sara promoted to the rank of Firefighter II in the Riverside Unit where she spent most of her career serving the citizens of the Coachella Valley until her passing.
Sara is remembered by her friends and co-workers as a loving mother and a genuine person that was always willing to help anyone in need. Sara typifies what it means to be a firefighter and what they represent. Peers said Thomas had a strong presence behind the scenes and often played the part of "mama bear" who looked after her cubs. She both cared for and scolded her cubs when they stepped out of line.
Sara was an amazing warrior, and she fought to the very end. She is survived by her husband, and daughters, and will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
Sara Thomas, a 41-year-old CAL FIRE Firefighter passed away on January 31, 2017 after a yearlong and courageous battle with job related cancer.
Julie Freeman always looked out for the people around her, treating them with respect and caring, and was attracted to the family feeling of the fire service, making the team effort: belonging to something greater than herself. Julie began her career with CAL FIRE in 1997 and selflessly dedicated more than two decades of her like to protecting the people of the State of California, serving as a Dispatcher, Seasonal Firefighter, and Fire Apparatus Engineer; working as she progressed in her career in the Fresno-Kings, Madeira-Mariposa-Merced, and San Benito-Monterey Units, then achieving the rank of Fire Captain and spending the last 8 years at Carmel Hill Fire Station in Pebble Beach. Julie was a valued member of CAL FIRE Incident management Team 6, was a CAL FIRE Local 2881 Chapter Director, was a dedicated member of the CAL FIRE Local 2881 Honor Guard for many years and receiving the "Executive Board Award for Dedication and Sacrifice to the Members of Cal Fire Local 2881". Julie loved travel, planning trips, and spending time with friends, and was a lifelong baseball fan - Go Giants!
Cory David Iverson, began his fire service career in 2008 as a volunteer firefighter with the Elfin Forest - Harmony Grove Fire Department in San Diego County. In 2009, Cory accepted an offer for a Firefighter I position with the Riverside Unit of CAL FIRE. During that time, his most treasured assignment was as a Firefighter assigned to Helicopter 301 out of the Hemet-Ryan Air Attack Base. In 2012, he spent one season as a Federal Firefighter with the Bear Divide Hotshot Crew before returning to the airbase in 2013. This was also the year that he met the love of his life, Ashley. They were married in 2014 and began his most important role as husband and daddy. In 2015, Cory and Ashley became the proud parents to their first born daughter, Evie Rose. Two months later, Cory accepted a promotion to Fire Apparatus Engineer and spent one year in the Tuolumne-Calaveras CAL FIRE Unit before accepting a permanent FAE position in the Monte Vista Unit assigned to Dulzura Station 30. In 2017, Cory was elated to learn he would be a daddy again to another little girl, who he unfortunately was never able to meet. On December 14, 2017, while battling the Thomas Fire in Ventura County, Cory was overrun by fast moving flames and perished. Cory was known for his dedication, incredible worth ethic and passion for the job. He was highly respected by all his coworkers and he helped mentor and inspire all who crossed his path. Cory's wife Ashley, with their two girls by her side, has created the Iverson Foundation for Active Awareness (IFAA) in his memory to help continue his impact on the world.
With increased awareness and discussion around post-traumatic stress in the fire service, it's important to know what post-traumatic stress is and what it's not. While the term post-traumatic stress (sometimes called PTS) is often used interchangeably with the term post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the two are quite different. At some point in their career, most fire fighters and paramedics will experience post-traumatic stress, while only a relatively small fraction of these individuals will develop the mental health disorder known as PTSD. The fact remains that fire fighters and paramedics are an extremely resilient population.
Post-traumatic stress is a normal reaction to any event that threatens violence or the loss of life. You may personally experience the event, see the event occur to someone else or have direct exposure to aversive details of the event in its aftermath. Post-traumatic stress is NOT recognized as a mental health disorder and often requires no treatment intervention. Symptoms usually subside within a few days or weeks and do not significantly impair daily functioning.
When I was a young firefighter in the early 1980s, my department did not carry any kind of drinking water supply on the rigs. Individuals could stash a water bottle in their seats, but more often than not, we would be out for hours on a searing summer day with no access to fluids in any form.
That situation changed over the years - every engine and truck began carrying a large cooler jug full of water, and the battalion chief always had a case of sports drinks in his truck. But it was still extremely difficult to stay adequately hydrated at work, and we all suffered the consequences.
A 30-year-old man serving a prison sentence for running down a firefighter with an SUV in the Richmond District will now face a murder charge after the victim died from injuries related to the hit and run, according to authorities.
The District Attorney's Office said Eduardo Chaparro-Esquivel is expected to be arraigned Thursday on a single count of murder in connection with the death of Albert Bartal, a 35-year-old former Cal Fire firefighter and Marine who died April 17.
Jurors convicted Chaparro-Esquivel of various charges including torture in 2015 for hitting Bartal with a rented SUV after an argument at a Jack in the Box restaurant at Geary Boulevard and 11th Avenue in 2011.

Fondazione Augusto Rancilio
Fondazione Augusto Rancilio hosted at Villa Arconarti is a non-profit cultural organization established in 1983 in memory of the architect Augusto Rancilio, who tragically died at the age of 26. Alongside its original purpose of study and research in the fields of Architecture, Design and Urban Planning – with particular attention to young people and their integration into the world of work – FAR today promotes the protection and enhancement of its institutional headquarters, Villa Arconati in Bollate, a delightful 17th-century villa surrounded by greenery on the outskirts of Milan.
The Foundation operates within the territory by promoting cultural initiatives, relationships, and national and international connections, as well as an important restoration project for the Villa and its Garden. Its goal is not only to return this heritage back to the community but to enhance today, in a contemporary and international perspective, the identity of a place of Architecture and Arts that in the past earned it the name of "Versailles of Milan".
To realize its mission, in its thirty years of activity, the Foundation has been particularly committed to supporting the growth of professionalism and creativity of young architects and designers and has promoted systematic research, exchange, and confrontation. Since birth it has worked in collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture of Politecnico di Milano, supporting scholarships and internships for his students. Since 1991, its activity has expanded and structured to respond more effectively to the needs of a changed scenario of training and design culture, thus developing its grantmaking, research and culture in an international perspective and obtaining – among other awards – a mention of Honor from the 18th Compasso d'Oro ADI Award in 1998.
Today the Foundation – thanks to its headquarters, Villa Arconati-FAR – opens to a new challenge by placing itself and its project of cultural recovery and reconversion as a reference and attraction pole for the creative and sustainable development of its territory.
Centro Studi FAR – The value of the research
Fondazione Augusto Rancilio has set up a study center at Villa Arconati-FAR that deals with retrieving and cataloging studies and sources related to the FAR collections, the villa and its park.
The Centro Studi FAR intends to promote and enhance the cultural heritage of the Foundation, conducting research internally and supporting the realization of studies also carried out by external subjects. It is available to students and researchers who are interested in carrying out works that concern the Foundation, the villa, or its territory by providing material and hosting internships or traineeships.

Mexican venture firm ALL VP has a $73 million first close on its latest fund
Buoyed by international attention from U.S. and Chinese investors and technology companies, new financing keeps flowing into the coffers of Latin American venture capital firms.
One day after the Brazilian-based pan-Latin American announced the close of its $150 million latest fund comes word from our sources that ALL VP, the Mexico City-based, early stage technology investor, has held a first close of $73 million for its latest investment vehicle.
Monashees raises $150 million for its eighth Latin American fund
The firm launched its first $6 million investment vehicle in 2012, according to CrunchBase, just as Mexico's former President Enrique Peña Nieto was coming to power with a pro-business platform. One which emphasized technology development as part of its strategy for encouraging economic growth.
ALL VP founding partner Fernando Lelo de Larrea said he could not speak about ongoing fundraising plans.
And while the broader economy has stumbled somewhat since Nieto took office, high technology businesses in Mexico are surging. In the first half of 2018, 82 Mexican startup companies raised $154 million in funding, according to data from the Latin American Venture Capital Association. It makes the nation the second most active market by number of deals — with a number of those deals occurring in later stage transactions.
In this, Mexico is something of a mirror for technology businesses across Latin America. While Brazilian startup companies have captured 73% of venture investment into Latin America — raising nearly $1.4 billion in financing — Peru, Chile, Colombia and Argentina are all showing significant growth. Indeed, some $188 million was invested into 23 startups in Colombia in the first half of the year.
Overall, the region pulled in $780 million in financing in the first six months of 2018, besting the total amount of capital raised in all of 2016.
It's against this backdrop of surging startup growth that funds like ALL VP are raising new cash.
Indeed, at $73 million the first close for the firm's latest fund more than doubles the size of ALL VP's capital under management.
ALL VP management team
But limited partners can also point to a burgeoning track record of success for the Mexican firm. ALL VP was one of the early investors in Cornershop — a delivery company acquired by Walmart for $225 million earlier this year. Cornershop had previously raised just $31.5 million and the bulk of that was a $21 million round from the Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm, Accel.
Walmart to acquire Mexico & Chile-focused grocery delivery service Cornershop for $225M
International acquirers are making serious moves in the Latin American market, with Walmart only one example of the types of companies that are shopping for technology startups in the region. The starting gun for Latin American startups stellar year was actually the DiDi acquisition of the ride-hailing company 99 for $1 billion back in January.
Didi confirms it has acquired 99 in Brazil to expand in Latin America
That, in turn, is drawing the attention of early stage investors. In fact, it's venture capital firms from the U.S. and international investors like Naspers (from South Africa) and Chinese technology giants that are fueling the sky-high valuations of some of the region's most successful startups.
Loggi, a logistics company raised $100 million from SoftBank in October, while the delivery service, Rappi, raked in $200 million in August, in a round led by Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital.
In a market so frothy, it's no wonder that investment firms are bulking up and raising increasingly large funds. The risk is that the market could overheat and that, with a lot of capital going to a few marquee names, should those companies fail to deliver, the rising tide of capital that's come in to the region could just as easily come back out.

Ahhhh, español sidra - we meet again! Just like a ranging bull or an unforgiving Rafa Nadal forehand, Spanish Sidra packs a whole lotta punch! Stylistically, Sidra is hugely different when compared to the gazillion commercial Australian ciders which we all currently enjoy. So much so, picture the Sun............................................................................now picture Pluto - that's how far apart these two styles are/can get. We don't see too much Sidra in Australia, with drips and drabs floating around in speciality bottle shops. In all honestly, I have had my doubts as to whether Sidra could ever be popular here in Oz. We've got to remember that Sidra can be overly confronting with super rustic features like high volatile acidity, and throat wrenching dryness. Some literally taste like liquefied salt and vinegar chips! This may appeal to some, but let me tell you its an acquired taste. I suggest clicking on the 'Spanish Cider' tab on the home page, and read up a little more on the past two Sidra's I have reviewed.
Sidra Escanciador is located in Villaviciosa in the famous Sidra region of Asturias in Northern Spain. The brand is distributed across Australia by Broadway Liquor. The Natural Sidra Riera is produced very traditionally with acid apples (possibly crab apples)naturally fermented in wooden vats, with no final filtration. The company produces 500,000L's of Asturias Sidra each year, with its ES label being the most known and popular.
The Sidra poured a nice hazy yellow straw, with absolutely no carbonation in the glass. Remember folks, when there is no carbonation the cider is termed 'still', just like a white wine. The nose offered up copious amounts of beautiful rusticity and earthiness. There was a huge whack of deep and complex farmhouse richness almost emulating a fine Breton Cidre. Rich ripe apples combined in perfect harmony with old woody characters to add an element of Spanish traditionalism. A hint of sourness, VA and a tiny lick of brettanomyces was also evident. The complexing layers seemed endless, with broadening wild ferment funk and barnyard notes just lifting the nose to a whole new level. It's a nose which sounds scary and ugly, but it really is a work of art. Just magic.
Although the palate wasn't at the same level of quality as the nose, its still impressed me. The palate weight was on the weaker/watery side, with uber bone dry characters and large tart acidity dominating the mouth feel. However, rustic apple flavours which seemed to linger for eternity added excitement and length. Some volatile notes which usually stick in the back of the throat were less intrusive in this Sidra, and did not offend. There were no tannins to speak of which did leave a hole in the mid to back palate. What I found was that after every mouthful, I was getting more and more addicted. I couldn't put my finger on it, but this Sidra (and its palate), just kept getting better - a real nice surprise. It was easy drinking, with tonnes of personality.
The Sidra Escanciador - Natural Sidra Riera would have to be the best Sidra's I have tried. I loved the rusticity and complexity of the nose - it was waaaay up my alley. The palate perhaps was a touch acidic and watery, but it had lovely flavours which just lingered forever. What I did love was the lower levels of VA as it made the Sidra more approachable. The drink would be perfectly match with blue cheese, or a Sidra glazed chorizo (Chorizo a la Sidra). Yumm!!
I haven't seen this one yet but I really get pumped on Spanish Sidra. If I could only pour it like a true Spaniard.

Q: ngx-gauge doesn't show the received data I am developing a page that shows real-time data from a server. Now i'm testing it with some mqtt client websocket (like hivemq). The value itself that i receive is showed in the chrome console,but i'm trying to make this value graphical with NGX-GAUGE.
The ngx-gauge is showed correctly in the page,and if i put in "gaugeValue" a standard number it works (also with a Math.Random), but if i take a value from a MQTT broker,it just doesn't do anything
when i try to get the value from an MQTT broker, the value and green line of the ngx-gauge (which should increase/decrease in real time) doesn't do anything
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Paho } from 'ng2-mqtt/mqttws31';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

  valore:String;

  gaugeType = "semi";
  gaugeValue=this.valore;
  gaugeLabel = "Valore";
  gaugeAppendText = "km/hr";s
  animate=true;
  duration=1500;

  private client;
  mqttbroker = 'broker.mqttdashboard.com';

  ngOnInit() {
    this.client = new Paho.MQTT.Client(this.mqttbroker, Number(8000), 'client1');
    this.client.onMessageArrived=this.onMessageArrived.bind(this);
    this.client.onConnectionLost=this.onConnectionLost.bind(this);
    this.client.connect({onSuccess: this.onConnect.bind(this)});
   }

  onConnect() {
    console.log('onConnect');
    this.client.subscribe('testtopic/40/xxx');
  }

  onConnectionLost(responseObject) {
    if (responseObject.errorCode !== 0) {
      console.log('onConnectionLost:' + responseObject.errorMessage);
    }
  }

  onMessageArrived(message) {
    console.log('onMessageArrived: ' + message.destinationName + ': ' + message.payloadString);

    if (message.destinationName.indexOf('xxx') !== -1) {
      this.valore = (message.payloadString);
    }
  }
}

It should simply show the value,with the line respondig in real time with that value

A: I also faced the same issue but I solved it after writing code by this way :
gaugeValue= 0; //define minimum value in export

this.gaugeValue= (message.payloadString);  // intead of "this.valore" use this.gaugeValue

Please refer screenshot 1 & 2 for more understandings;
I used _thoughput_gaugeValue for defining
same _thoughput_gaugeValue  is used as  this._thoughput_gaugeValue for getting data. Do not declare _thoughput_gaugeValue:any


When young, we came to the Hills quite often to enjoy historic beauty and tourist attractions. In recent years, such fond memories beckoned us westward ho for more great vacations, but one trip turned out to be different…something stirred within our souls…something spiritually uplifting… speaking to us of peace, tranquility, and lots of fun!
Many wonderful events have occurred since that enlightening trip and we have now acquired over 1,000 acres of Black Hills land that we call Powder House Pass, located just a couple miles south of the Lead/Deadwood area. Our vision is to create something unique for this scenic area of the Northern Black Hills which led us in pursuit of a Community Improvement District (CID) designation. This idea was well received and unanimously approved by Lawrence County officials! Powder House Pass is only the 2nd such district in South Dakota, following the successful Dakota Dunes CID development in southeastern South Dakota.
Powder House Pass is an undiscovered jewel and a complete community that is designed to become a testimonial to sustainable design principles. Neighborhoods will be sensitively planned, preserving native vegetation while protecting open space. Separate and unique neighborhoods will offer diverse lifestyles at various price points. Whenever possible, we encourage home designs to consider water, energy, resource conservation, and earth-friendly materials to harmonize with nature. We want the quality of our development to grace the environment.
Our roads are paved with more than good intentions -- they are actually paved! And that's just one of many things that set us apart from other developments. Unlike anything else in the Black Hills, Powder House Pass harmonizes nature with city conveniences.
Ground floor opportunity for developers, joint venture partners, and investors.

Body from plane wreckage identified as footballer Sala
LONDON: A body retrieved from the wreckage of a crashed plane in the English Channel has been formally identified as Cardiff City's Argentina-born soccer player Emiliano Sala, British police said in a statement on Thursday.
Sala, 28, had been flying from his previous club Nantes in western France to Wales on Jan. 21 to make his debut for the Premier League team when the single-engined Piper Malibu aircraft disappeared over the sea.
Wreckage was found on Sunday following a privately-funded underwater search and a body recovered on Wednesday and taken to southern England.
"The body brought to Portland Port today... has been formally identified by HM Coroner for Dorset as that of professional footballer Emiliano Sala," the police statement said.
"The families of Mr Sala and the pilot David Ibbotson have been updated with this news and will continue to be supported by specially-trained family liaison officers. Our thoughts remain with them at this difficult time."
Cardiff posted the statement on their website under a picture of the player.
"We offer our most heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the family of Emiliano. He and David will forever remain in our thoughts," the Welsh club said.
Sala had agreed to join relegation-threatened Cardiff for a club-record fee of 15 million pounds ($19.43 million) from French Ligue 1 club Nantes.
Police said an investigation into the circumstances of the death was continuing.
Efforts to recover the aircraft wreckage have so far been unsuccessful due to poor weather conditions.
The plane had been cruising at 5,000 feet (1,525 m) when the pilot requested to descend to a lower altitude on passing Guernsey. It then lost radar contact at 2,300 feet.
Argentine newspaper Clarin last month published a voice message that Sala, who had played in France since 2012 and scored 12 goals for Nantes this season, apparently sent to friends while in the air.
"We're up in the plane and it seems it's about to crash," said the message, which Clarin said was verified by Sala's father, Horacio Sala.
"If you have not heard anything from me in an hour and a half, I don't know if they're going to send someone to find me, because, you know, they're not going to be able to," the message said. "Dad. I'm really scared."

Recently, I was helping a friend test an installer for a Windows Vista Media Center application and ran across an interesting issue that I wanted to post here so that other Media Center application developers will think about it when designing their own setups as well.
The installer I was testing included entries in the Registry table of the MSI to create registry values to register the application so it would appear in the Media Center UI. This algorithm is described at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb189827.aspx in the Windows Vista Media Center SDK documentation.
Because the MSI I installed was a 32-bit MSI, Windows Installer automatically creates registry values in the 32-bit registry instead of the 64-bit registry. However, since Media Center runs as a native 64-bit application on Windows Vista x64, it only knows to look in the 64-bit registry for extensibility application registration information. As a result, I did not see any entry points to this application in the Media Center UI even after installing the MSI.
In order to avoid this issue, I recommend using a custom action that calls RegisterMceApp.exe instead of writing the registration registry values directly. You can see examples that demonstrate how to create a custom action like this using WiX by looking at the Q and Z sample applications in the Windows Media Center SDK for Windows Vista. The files q.wxs and z.wxs contain fully commented WiX setup source code that describes what each action is designed to do.
I also wrote more detailed blog posts describing the Q sample application setup at this location for WiX v2.0 and this location for WiX v3.0 that are useful to look at in order to get a deeper understanding about how Windows Media Center application setups should be constructed.


Whether your ideal whisky journey involves adventure, gourmet cuisine or beautiful scenery, Kirsten Amor has compiled a list of whisky travel books sure to offer some itinerary inspiration – whether you leave the comfort of your home or not.
The relationship between whisky and travel stretches back more than a century, to Alfred Barnard's genre-defining book The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom, which squeezed vivid accounts of his travels between detailed specifications of every distillery in the UK. His Victorian volume laid the groundwork for subsequent whisky writers such as Neil Gunn to publish their own whisky tales.
Times have changed since Barnard's day. While he would undoubtedly be impressed others have ventured on their own whisky pilgrimage, he might be surprised at the popularity of whisky tourism today and the sheer ends of the earth some authors have ventured in search of the perfect dram – not to mention the breadth of cuisine, culture and adventure they've discovered along the way.
Whether it's itinerary inspiration or some quality armchair escapism you're after, these modern whisky travel books are choc full of exciting odysseys that cater to every manner of wanderlust.
Food writer Rachel McCormack returns to her Scottish roots in Chasing the Dram (Simon & Schuster/ £8.99), to encourage everyone to use Scotch whisky more often in cooking.
Flicking between whisky's origins to toasting glasses with Keepers of the Quaich, exploring various distilleries throughout Scotland and retelling whisky's influence throughout her own childhood, McCormack's food travel musings double as a simple introduction to Scotch whisky.
Recipes in the book vary between quick desserts and cocktails, such as Italian classic Zabaglione or the timeless Old Fashioned, to elaborate mains including Thai curries and Spanish roasts.
On the other side of the globe food travel writer Michael Booth and his family travel the length of Japan to understand how it has created such an influential standard of food and drink in The Meaning of Rice: and Other Tales from the Belly of Japan (Jonathan Cape/ £14.99).
While only one chapter is dedicated to whisky, The Meaning of Rice investigates the establishment of whisky in Japan, its 'founding father' Masataka Taketsuru, and Japan's emergence as one of the top whisky producers in the world. Booth also mentions the Japanese concept of kaizen – a constant, gradual improvement, and how this approach has contributed towards the country's success in the whisky industry.
For any shinnichi that has dreamed of their own culinary journey across Japan, The Meaning of Rice is a good introduction.
Antarctica is an unlikely destination to find whisky travel inspiration. Yet the 2010 rediscovery of Polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's abandoned stash of whisky from his Nimrod Antarctic expedition drove the aptly-named author Neville Peat to the icy continent to chase the Nimrod crew's choice tipple in Shackleton's Whisky (Preface Publishing/£16.99).
Peat's account highlights how the whisky's journey often followed the course of fortune for Shackleton's crew, as a source of celebration, to desperation, to their eventual fight for survival. After the discovery of the whisky in Shackleton's hut in Cape Royds, Peat then follows Whyte & Mackay blender Richard Paterson as he recreates a new blend inspired by the Nimrod expedition original.
Readers wanting a more lighthearted whisky adventure should turn to writer Iain Banks' Raw Spirit (Arrow/£9.99).
Banks writes: 'Drinking whisky is never about just drinking whisky.' The adage is repeated throughout as Banks travels by car, ferry and bike to the outer reaches of Scotland to learn about Scotch whisky.
Raw Spirit follows Banks' journey in search of the perfect dram, an endeavour he happily admits from the outset is an unattainable ideal. Instead the travelogue is constructed around the social context in which whisky is drunk, whether it is with friends and family, or alone with memories and ghosts of places and people past.
The Birth of Bourbon (University Press of Kentucky/£27.95) harks back to the early days of Bourbon in the US through to its present-day operations. Photographer Carol Peachee travels throughout the Distillery District in Lexington, taking readers on tours of the numerous abandoned Bourbon distilleries in the area, and how their remnants act as a 'visual archaeological' reminder of their fate and fortune.
Peachee uses the painstaking photographic method of high-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI) to capture minute details, and a broad spectrum of colour and light, to showcase all aspects of the whisky making process. The result is a beautifully detailed record of the distilleries' histories, and how their fortunes affected the surrounding environments. It also highlights the renewal of several sites, such as the Samuel E. Pepper distillery, and the operations of modern-day Bourbon distilleries such as Buffalo Trace and Four Roses.
Conversely, it is the 'cultural terroir' of Scotch whisky that takes centre stage in Charles MacLean's Spirit of Place (Frances Lincoln/£16.99).
Divided into eight regions, MacLean sets out to explore the '50 greatest' distilleries in Scotland, in particular evoking the craftspeople and surroundings, and how these aspects are reflected in the taste of the whisky from each distillery.
Over 250 photographs were specially commissioned from photographers Lara Platman and Allan MacDonald to make Spirit of Place. The photography conveys the romantic motifs commonly associated with distilleries while highlighting the hardships of working in such a place: remote landscapes, the physically intensive labour and the operation of distilling machinery.
Countless books have been written about US road trips, yet surprisingly few traverse Bourbon country, given the sheer number and popularity of distilleries.
The State of Bourbon (Indiana University Press/£11.99) by Cameron M. Ludwick and Blair Thomas Hess sees the Bluegrass natives explore whiskey distillery highlights from the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, the Urban Bourbon Trail and the Craft Bourbon Trail alongside culturally significant landmarks such as Civil War battlefields, which are worth a visit on their own merit. These sit alongside historical explanations and biographies of key figures in the Bourbon industry to highlight the relationship between these seemingly disparate distilleries and landmarks. The result is a readable, practical guide for readers planning their own road trip.
Tasmania meanwhile might not be an immediate destination that springs to mind for a road trip due to its 'newcomer' status in the whisky world compared to its long-established Scotch and Bourbon cousins, but a browse through Bernard Lloyd's exhaustive tome Tasmanian Whisky: The Devil's Share (Tas Food Books/AU$59.95) will have any whisky lover reaching for their passports.
Lloyd recounts his road trip across Tasmania's five 'whisky districts' and offers maps and guides for each one in between chapters on the history of whisky production in Tasmania, and famous distillers and bootleggers. Illustrative guides to the inner workings of each distillery is covered by the distillers themselves in the book, along with tasting notes.
In addition to active distilleries, Lloyd also provides archival research and images of the 'lost' colonial distilleries in Tasmania and Australia, and examples of rare Tasmanian whisky bottles.
Travellers who have completed their fair share of distillery tours on their travels and want more detailed information should have a flip through the pages of Ian Buxton's Whiskies Galore: A Tour of Scotland's Island Distilleries (Birlinn Ltd/£16.99), and Dave Broom's The Way of Whisky (Mitchell Beazley/£40.00).
Buxton revisits his childhood holiday destinations throughout the Scottish Isles to explore their numerous distilleries. With decades of experience in the whisky industry Buxton gives a thorough account of the distilleries he visits, from their inception to modern-day operation, along with an overview of key personalities that have influenced the distillery's history. Combined with memories from his childhood, Whiskies Galore offers a lighthearted 'behind the scenes' look at distilleries beyond the visitor centre.
For years Japanese whisky has captured the attention of whisky enthusiasts worldwide, particularly for whisky writer Dave Broom. To uncover the secret of 'Whisky-dō', Broom and photographer Kohei Take travel across Japan, stopping at distilleries and craft workshops to learn the secret behind Japanese whisky's success. Interviews with craftspeople and distillery tours highlight the Japanese approach of kaizen, and how the art of making whisky is closely intertwined with the country's culture. The Way of Whisky offers a beautifully photographed account of Broom's personal exploration of the relationship between Japan's whisky and its traditional arts.

Cyborg Plant
Born out of my thesis, Flora Machina, the cyborg plant is the physical manifestation of theories and ideas that examine a landscape connected intimately with sensory technology. The cyborg plant is a living Jade Plant inserted into a clear enclosure that houses several sensors, a processor and speakers. Once connected to a computer, the sensors feed information from the plant and the environment and are transcribed into an audio expression. The most important sensor of the cyborg plant is the bio-electric sensor that collects the small voltage changes inside the plant. This signal represents internal communications between parts of the plant and report changes in the the plants physiology and environment. The sounds emitted from the cyborg plant allow people to perceive the internal activity of the plant, something we are not able to perceive easily. The goal of the cyborg plant project is to empower flora and adapt them to the a highly anthropomorphic landscape. The up most care was taken to avoid giving the plant human like qualities. This represents the latest iteration of the cyborg plant. I hope to have the cyborg plant adapted to work independent of a laptop and in an outdoors environment.
The Electrosmog Detector
This project stems from an interest in making un-perceivable things in our landscapes perceivable using devices as an intermediary to extend the sense of the human body. We intend to highlight the amount of radio frequency (RF) based energy that passes through a given space, such as that from radio towers, cell phones and other radio frequency emitting devices. Without the aid of a receiver, this radio energy cannot be heard or seen yet it exists all around us. Most of this energy is generated as a result of human activity, although some is from naturally occurring phenomena such as lightening. This energy will be measured and transcribed into audio output and visual feedback. Through this feedback, we will be able to understand how much RF energy is passing through our environment in the immediate area while encouraging interaction and play with this energy.
Changing the way we perceive forgotten spaces; this was the driving idea behind "Circuit". By occupying a back alley with objects, my colleagues and I gave a new sense of place to the existing space. Installed for the Nuit Blanche festival in Winnipeg, Circuit transformed an alley, normally ignored and thought of as dirty, into a surreal dream. Using lanterns suspended above the alley and a reactive sound installation, the alley allowed the visitors' imagination to take beyond the preconceived associated with back alleys in Winnipeg. The lanterns slowly swayed in the wind. The four colour led's inside painted a the white covers. A microphone collected the sound level of the street and used that data to increase the intensity of a music composition being projected into the alley. The alley itself acted as a gateway between two other installations presented as part of Nuit Blanche.
The studio project began as an exploration of how sensory technology could be integrated in the landscape to facilitate and interactive environment. The resulting project used the idea of performance, scoring and sensors which used environmental process to generate variation in a live narrative that would unfold in the site. This hypothetical project was located at the quadrangle on the University of Manitoba Fort Garry Campus. The trees the lined the pathways were affixed with "entities"; small light and sound emitting sensor packets that acted as shapeless beings inhabiting the forest. The behaviours of the entities were affected in two ways; changes in light and temperature; and, changes the flow of people through the space. This behaviour was script out by a loose scoring inspired by composer John Cage. This project revealed the complexity of dealing with live data in an unpredictable environment and how to engage with people and the environment connected through sensory technology.

With thick folds in its bumpy skin, the Indian rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis) looks as if it is wearing a suit of armor. Despite their tough skin, they are still susceptible to sunburn and biting insects. A good romp in the mud helps protect the skin. A megaherbivore, the Indian rhino is as big as a tank and grazes on tall grasses. Like other rhinos, it has poor vision but excellent senses of hearing and smell. The Indian rhino sports just one horn on the tip of its nose. Unfortunately, rhinos are hunted for their horns as some cultures believe the horns have healing properties.
A group of rhinos is called a crash.When startled, the rhino will charge at up to 30 miles per hour.A rhino horn can be more than three feet long, though it is usually only about a foot.

Hearing aids are built to provide many years of useful service. However, regular exposure to a harsh environment means they will occasionally encounter problems. No matter how fastidious you are when it comes to hygiene, the ear canals inevitably attract dirt, moisture and earwax buildup – all of which can wreak havoc with the electronic components in your hearing aids.
Regular maintenance can help keep them in great working condition, but once in a while, they may need servicing or repair. Lakeside Audiology can help. If you have tried the troubleshooting tips below and still can't get your hearing aids to work properly, please contact us to schedule an evaluation.
If your hearing aids aren't working properly, try the following techniques for a quick fix.
What Can I Expect to Pay for a Hearing Aid Repair?
If your hearing aids are still under warranty and were purchased from Lakeside Audiology, repair costs will be nominal or free. If the warranty has expired, we'll need to assess the level of damage before providing you with an estimate.
Depending on the cost of repairs, you might be better off investing in a new pair of hearing aids in certain cases. If your current aids are more than five years old, consider an upgrade – technological advances mean today's digital devices are more powerful and come packed with features for improved sound quality compared with those that are a few years older. Likewise, if the damage is extensive or your hearing aids have already been repaired in the past, it may not be worth paying more money when you can purchase a brand new pair of hearing aids that should last you another 5-7 years or longer.
The expert staff at Lakeside Audiology is happy to evaluate your hearing aids and help you decide whether having them repaired makes the most financial sense. We service all makes and models and are here to provide you with assistance. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or learn more.

Kaufhaus Behrends is een onafhankelijk warenhuis in de Nedersaksische stad Wiesmoor. Behrends werd in 1953 opgericht door Charlotte en Wilhelm Behrends.

Geschiedenis
In 1953 openden Charlotte en Wilhelm Behrends een textielwinkel op 80 m² in Stadt Wiesmoor. In 1958 werd de winkel uitgebreid en in 1963 werd de winkel nogmaals vergoot tot 400 m². In 1971 werd op een nieuwe locatie geopend in Wiesmoor en werd het volledig warenhuis met een oppervlakte van 2000 m². Het werd lid van de inkoopcombinatie Kaufring en werd een Edeka-supermarkt geopend in het warenhuis. In1976 werd een tankstation geopend en de daaropvolgende jaren werd de winkel meerdere keren gemoderniseerd en uitgebreid. In 1978 werd het warenhuis vergroot door de toevoeging van een derde verdieping. De leiding van het bedrijf werd in 1990 door Wilhelm Behrends jr. en zijn vrouw Ute overgenomen van zijn vader. Door de aankoop en afbraak van naastgelegen werd het grondstuk van Behrends uitgebreid tot 40.000m², waarop onder meer 500 parkeerplaatsen werden aangelegd.

Na een uitbreiding in 1995 waarbij een aantal externe partijen, waaronder Aldi, Quick Schuh, een bakker en een bloemenwinkel, ruimte gingen huren in het warenhuis, was de verkoopvloeroppervlakte toegenomen tot 5.500 m². In 2001 werd vond de laatste uitbreiding plaats waarbij de totale verkoopvloeroppervlakte uitkwam op 10.000 m².

In 2013 werd er gesproken voor een verdere uitbreiding. In 2022 verhuisde de Aldi naar de nieuwe winkelstraat in en om het het warenhuis.
