One of the many things I liked about the sorely-missed Vine app was the user interface it presented to viewers. Holding your phone with one hand, you could swipe up and down to find an engaging video and you simply stopped scrolling to watch it. It was an intuitive interface that was clearly designed for the mobile phone generation.
I don't know if the developers at Vuxo, I Corp. had Vine in mind when they created Gfeed, but they were surely traveling down the same highway. Gfeed is an app that brings the same welcome simplicity to the often confusing mail feed generated by Google ubiquitous Gmail service.
Users who download the app for their iOS or Android phone or tablet are immediately presented with this simple instruction for using the program: Keep Calm and Swipe Up. That's pretty much Gfeed in an nutshell.
After connecting Gfeed to my own Gmail account, my mail was presented in an attractive, page-filling display on my phone. No settings to to wrestle with and no filters to figure out. The app did everything for me in the background.
Each email message reduced to the basics and the the most important elements. A label at the top of each message identifies the sender. If there's an image in the message, it comes next, resized to fit the screen. Next comes three action icons followed by a summary text, maybe a paragraph or two, in a font and type size that seems to have been selected for fast reading. This is an app that wants to give you a snapshot of your messages and do it quickly.
Junk mail? Swipe up and move on. A photo of your kids? Take a moment to savor it and show the screen to the people around you without tapping or enlarging. A memorandum from your boss? Click the More button to see the entire message.
Those icons in the quick view give you three options: Give the message a star to make it easy to find later, tap an arrow to open a reply window, or send it to the trash can. The full view has arrow to Reply All or Forward.
That's about all there is to Gfeed and, really, that's all it needs to be. You surely have other tools to manage a busy mailbox. This isn't meant to be one of them. Instead, it's a mail-reading tool for people who have a lot of demands on their time - or maybe just one free hand at a time.
How could Gfeed improve? The full message display sometime shows just a partial view of the message. I encountered that issue when I opened messages that were highly formatted or loaded with graphics. And in one case I got stuck in the reply window and had to close and reopen the app. But those were both minor inconveniences.
And I wouldn't encourage the developers to add more features. More options and element and user controls would just add weight to an app that already has the best feature: simplicity. If they need to add something, build in support for other email services. Gfeed currently only works with Gmail.
The app is available as a free download - mercifully without ads - in the iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store. Get a closer look at how Gfeed work in my video review below.

COVID-19 highlights the importance of Advance Care Planning
Today kicks off National Advance Care Planning Week, encouraging Australians to plan their future medical care, especially during these uncertain times.
Posted March 23rd 2020
With Advance Care Directive Week upon us, it is better to be prepared for the future than without an Advance Care Directive later down the track. [Source: Shutterstock]
The initiative runs from 23-27 March with the aim of raising awareness about the significance of letting your loved ones know your future medical decisions for when you no longer have the capacity to make the decisions for yourself.
In light of the current coronavirus threat, Advance Care Planning Australia (ACPA) is recommending that people plan for a scenario where they may become unwell, and clarify their preferred medical treatment and the person they wish to make their decisions.
There were nearly 200 organisations and community groups planning to host an awareness event, however many of those events have since been cancelled in the last week due to COVID-19 developments.
Dr Karen Detering, Medical Director of ACPA, says, "When we set the date for this initiative back in November 2019, little did we know that the world would be gripped by a disruptive global pandemic. It's disappointing but understandable that so many events have been cancelled.
"Yet advance care planning is more important than ever in these uncertain times. In the months ahead, thousands of Australians face the prospect of becoming suddenly and seriously unwell. I'm concerned that more than 85 percent of Australians are without an Advance Care Directive as we face the impact of COVID-19.
"I urge all Australians, do what you can to prepare for a scenario where you may be unable to make your own medical decisions, especially if you're older or have chronic illness. I've had these conversations in recent weeks with my patients and my own family. It has been quite empowering for all."
Having an Advance Care Directive is important as nearly 50 percent of people will not be able to make their own end of life medical decisions and only 30 percent of older Australians aged 65 and over have an Advance Care Directive.
Not only that, a third of Australians will die before they reach the age of 75 and usually because of a chronic illness, not from a sudden event, which is why it is so important to plan ahead.
Dr Chris Moy, Chair of the Australian Medical Association (AMA) Ethics Committee and advance care planning advocate, shares concerns that not enough people have put an Advance Care Directive in place.
"We understand that these are very unsettling times for all of us. People are justifiably worried about elderly friends and relatives, particularly those with conditions such as lung and heart disease, cancer and diabetes," says Dr Moy.
"Families need to prepare for a time where they may be called upon to make decisions for their loved one who may become suddenly ill with coronavirus. Research tells us that too many families find themselves in the devastating situation of making decisions blindly, without knowing or discussing their loved ones preferences. There is an opportunity to act now.
"We're mindful that these conversations can be very challenging, particularly in light of the anxiety around COVID-19, but being prepared for future events can also provide individuals and families peace-of-mind, amidst the uncertainty of these unsettling times.
"Choose a person you trust to make your medical decisions. It may be a difficult conversation for some people but it's a small, yet powerful act of love that will make it easier for those left who may need to make tough decisions on your behalf."
The ACPA operates a free National Advisory Service for anyone seeking personalised advice about advance care planning and the organisations intend to support the wider community, healthcare professionals and aged care providers during this difficult time.
ACPA has seen an increase in phone queries over the last few weeks and Dr Detering says the organisation will retain its full service to Australians during the coronavirus crisis.

to feel like they are an important part of something bigger than themselves.
Teams fail when selfishness or personal interests overshadow the team's efforts. Hoarding vital information weakens the team spirit and its effectiveness.
Selfishness is also a problem when one team member is more focused on creating a job for himself than cooperating with the team to serve customers better.
Teams fail when there's active or passive sabotaging of their efforts. Passive sabotaging is letting others fail when you could step in to help. This sin of omission hurts the team spirit and efforts. Active sabotaging is creating barriers that prevent someone from doing the kind of job they can do.
Teams fail when team members sharp-shoot or discount another's ideas. It's easy to criticize another person's idea. It's an act of teamwork to support it.
You're either building up your teammates or breaking them down.
Attributing motives to another person's behavior is a reason teams fail. It's difficult to know what's in another's heart. Second-guessing a team member's motivation is a waste of your energy and it hurts the team dynamic. It's a more positive use of energy to think well of teammates and assign benign motives to their efforts.
Teams fail because of mission creep. Mission creep is losing sight of the mission. ""Why are we really doing this?"" When you find your team wandering aimlessly trying to get back on track you're experiencing mission creep. You've lost your focus. The primary mission of most businesses is to make a difference for the customers, not just a deal. When you lose sight of the mission to bring maximum value to the customer, mission creep has set in.
Teams also fail because of infrastructure problems. If you lack the resources, the systems, or the time to perform your job the way it should be done, your team will fail. Even successful teams struggle at times. How they deal with the struggles, the obstacles, and the temporary detours determines whether or not they will be successful in their efforts. When one team member fails the team is weakened. You are only as strong as your weakest teammate. How you support each other defines the character of your team.
On a more positive note teams succeed under these conditions. First, there must be mission clarity. Everyone on the team must understand the mission, what's expected of them, and be committed to that mission. This is management's responsibility to clearly articulate to employees their mission.
Teams work when there's balanced participation by everyone on the team. The failure of one person on the team to pull his load means that others must pick up the slack. When all team members pull together it is a powerful source of energy.
When everyone shares in the decision process they contribute their ideas to the team. They are an important part of the process. It may not result in a committee decision, but everyone has input on that decision. This builds commitment to the ultimate decision.
Teams work well when there are clearly defined roles utilizing everyone's strengths. The collective, unique strengths of the team members are what make the team concept so powerful. ""We"" is greater than ""me"".
Every team must have a leader. This is someone who can make the tough calls. Typically, it's a team member that everyone respects. The team leader influences the actions of the team. Team leaders help other see what's possible.
There must be a team attitude or a team environment. This means that individual team members must be willing to subordinate their egos for the greater good of serving their customers. Part of the team attitude is a problem-solving environment. This is where you focus on fixing the problem, not the blame.
Teams work well when there's a mutual trust and respect for other team members. Trust is the currency of all great relationships. Respecting fellow team members builds this trust. When people trust each other, like each other, and want to work together, they figure out the rest.
Frank, open communication among team members is critical for the team's success. Team members must feel that they can speak openly to other team members.
If there's a problem, they must discuss it. The team leader sets the tone for this openness.
Teams work well when management provides clear access to information. Everyone involved must share information with peers. There's no holding back. Share openly. It's the synergy of one team member working selflessly with another team member toward a common goal that captures the spirit of teamwork.
Strong teams are made up of strong team members led by a strong leader. The collective strength of the team is a powerful force. This strength comes from clarity and commitment to mission; mutual respect and support; and a balanced participation built around a simple principle – everyone has value. This results in a powerful and profound dynamic force: ""We"" is greater than ""Me."" Teams succeed or fail on the backs of team members. As a value added team member, your efforts influence the success of your team.

Senators on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee discussed Building STAR and Home Star today in a hearing with Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Cathy Zoi, and representatives from state governments, consumer groups, contractors, and real estate advocacy groups. Senator Jeff Merkley opened with a statement on Building STAR, emphasizing the job-creation benefits, especially to small businesses. "More than 90% of construction firms employ fewer than 20 people, and more than 60% of the manufacturers that create the materials and equipment for retrofits employ fewer than 20 people," Senator Merkley noted.
With unemployment in the 25-27% range for the construction industry, there is a dire need for the fast-acting Building STAR program, which would create 150,000 to 200,000 jobs in 2010. Assistant Secretary Cathy Zoi stated that, "Nearly 2 million construction jobs have been lost since December 2007." The best way to help ameliorate the unemployment in this sector is to put those men and women back to work installing energy efficient retrofits in homes and buildings across the country.
Building STAR, which was introduced just one week ago by Senators Jeff Merkley, Sherrod Brown, Benjamin Cardin, Mark Pryor, Bernie Sanders, and Debbie Stabenow, consists of a combination of rebates and tax incentives designed to increase the energy efficiency of commercial and multi-family residential buildings.

"YOU'RE FIRED!" How Sacked Employee Built His $10M Property Portfolio
September 13, 2017 /in Property Investment /by Marc Fattore
Luxland CEO, Zah Azmi, shows others how to build impressive property portfolios.
Zah Azmi was just 25 when he bought his first investment property with a $70,000 deposit he saved up working in sports supplement stores, night clubs and gyms, where he worked up to 90 hours a week. He could have bought something earlier but he wanted to wait till he had a decent deposit for a higher valued property, while his peers were investing in cheaper investment grade stock. "I figured that if I played in a bigger space, which seemed bigger at the time, I would get a better return", he says. That philosophy stays true till this day as he is about to embark on developing a 40 unit apartment block with two business partners in Newcastle.
From that first property – $340,000 house on the NSW Central Coast – the now 33 year old has built up a portfolio of eight properties which include residential, commercial and development sites.
Zah Azmi (pictured with wife, Jade) outside his first property purchase on the Central Coast.
Mr Azmi, who grew up on the Central Coast, moved to Sydney at the age of 21. "I made the move to Sydney to seek employment as I was fired from nearly every job I had on the Central Coast. I worked at nearly every restaurant and bar in the area and got fired from pretty much all of them. I was very strong minded and refused to play the game of politics with others who had the employee mindset. I was entrepreneurial very young and it worked against me at times."
"I always knew I was going to end up in property. I've always had a passion for it. When I was saving for my first deposit, I would hang out at newsagents and bookshops reading property magazines and books. To save money, I would read everything at the stores instead of buying anything. I would spend hours researching and analysing how other successful property tycoons made their millions.
After submitting multiple applications with banks in 2008 post GFC, he found it hard to get a loan approved. This didn't stop Mr Azmi from finding a solution, as he engaged a mortgage broker, a family friend, to help plead his case with the banks. Eventually he was approved and went on to purchase a four bedroom Central Coast house, which has today almost tripled in value, allowing him to leverage himself into more properties and other business ventures.
"I was lucky I grew up in an area that was up and coming. Usually we are told not to invest where we grew up, but it just so happened that the Central Coast benefited from the ripple effect from the Sydney boom," he said. "I still wouldn't live in any of my properties, as I love living in Sydney and the income they produce is too good to give up. I focus on properties on the Central Coast and Newcastle regions which range in affordable price points of between $400-600k."
Zah Azmi owns property on the Central Coast and in Newcastle which range from $400-600K.
Mr Azmi admits half of his portfolio is through the help of joint venture partners, however he says he would rather take part in something large scale than to own and run smaller projects on his own. He says, "Building a team of people who are on the same path as you is key. It is important to realise that you cannot do everything on your own."
He believes there is a lack of motivation among the millennial generation to invest in property. Because the median house price in Sydney has reached an all-time high of $1.2 million, many view home ownership as out of reach and near impossible.
"You've got to educate yourself on other property markets that are in more affordable areas. Pay for the advice if you have to, just start the planning process. Focus on solutions, rather than dwelling on our housing affordability issues," he said.
To complete larger developments, Zah Azmi engages help from joint venture partners.
He states that the older generation also had their hurdles and roadblocks when buying property. "In the past wages were lower, interest rates were higher and information was not as accessible," he said. "Buying property will always be a struggle, and it's just the cards we have been dealt in today's marketplace."
Even though Mr Azmi has worked hard and faced many adversities along his property investing journey, many have showed negativity and disapproval to his accumulation of wealth. "We live in a country with the greatest population of tall poppy syndrome. Many are jealous or disgruntled as they cannot get into the market themselves. They criticise and judge my every move, trying to tear me down whenever and wherever they can to make themselves feel better. I do this for myself and others who want to take positivity and motivation away from hearing my story. I want to help as many people as possible grow their own futures," Mr Azmi said.
He also states that he has turned ordinary working class Australians into property entrepreneurs, teaching those involved that property investing is a business rather than a "set and forget" strategy. "Making money from day one as well as enjoying year on year growth is our goal. We are in the business of making money as quickly as possible through a smart property investing formula.," he says.
Zah Azmi helps ordinary Australians turn into property entrepreneurs.
Mr Azmi said that it is absolutely critical that the correct asset is selected. "We are reaching a point of a possible correction in the market, therefore we need to ensure that our investment can weather any storm lying ahead. If you have bought the wrong property in the last couple of years then you may be in for a rough ride. Buying the right asset from the beginning will help safe-guard you from any market turbulence potentially looming."
He said that he always keeps sufficient buffers in place to ensure extra funding is available if needed. "It's about having a plan in place for all types of scenarios to help minimise your risk," he says. "Landlord insurance is also a must to ensure any potential long vacancy periods are covered."
He currently runs his own property development and investment firm that helps others grow wealth through property entrepreneurship. He also has shares in many other businesses in various industries that provide him with great networking power to spread his message across many channels. He has come a long way since his working days on the Central Coast. Now Mr. Azmi does the hiring and firing!
Zah Azmi says surrounding yourself with like-minded people will help drive you harder to achieve your goals.

Perri, F., and A.G.W. Cameron, 1974: Hydrodynamic instability of the solar nebula in the presence of a planetary core. Icarus , 22, 416-425, doi:10.1016/0019-1035(74)90074-8.
When a planetary core composed of condensed matter is accumulated in the primitive solar nebula, the gas of the nebula becomes gravitationally concentrated as an envelope surrounding the planetary core. Models of such gaseous envelopes have been constructed subject to the assumption that the gas everywhere is on the same adiabat as that in the surrounding nebula. The gaseous envelope extends from the surface of the core to the distance at which the gravitational attraction of core plus envelope becomes equal to the gradient of the gravitational potential in the solar nebula; at this point the pressure and temperature of the gas in the envelope are required to attain the background values characteristics of the solar nebula. In general, as the mass of the condensed core increases, increasing amounts of gas became concentrated in the envelope, and these envelopes are stable against hydrodynamic instabilities. However, the core mass then goes through a maximum and starts to decrease. In most of the models tested, the envelopes were hydrodynamically unstable beyond the peak in the core mass. An unstable situation was always created if it was insisted that the core mass contain a larger amount of matter than given by these solutions. For an initial adiabat characterized by a temperature of 450°K and a pressure of 5×10-6 atm, the maximum core mass at which instability occurs is approximately 115 earth masses; this value is rather insensitive to the position in the solar nebula or to the background pressure of the solar nebula. However, if the adiabat is lowered, then the core mass corresponding to instability is decreased. Since the core masses found by Podolak and Cameron for the giant planets are significantly less than the critical core mass corresponding to the initial solar nebula adiabat, we conclude that the giant planets obtained their large amounts of hydrogen and helium by a hydrodynamic collapse process in the solar nebula only after the nebula had been subjected to a considerable period of cooling.

Is it Ok to Out Prohibitionist Politicians for Past Pot Use? Yes.
by smorgan [6], June 27, 2007, 09:12pm
Congress [7]
Marijuana [8]
When Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman regurgitated ONDCP anti-pot propaganda, he got more than he bargained for. It all began with this statement from the senator:
"I oppose the legalization of marijuana because, as noted by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, marijuana can have serious adverse health affects on individuals. The health problems that may occur from this highly addictive drug include short-term memory loss, anxiety, respiratory illness and a risk of lung cancer that far exceeds that of tobacco products. It would also make our transportation, schools and workplaces, just as examples, more dangerous." [CelebStoner.com [9]]
Unfortunately for Coleman, NORML [10] board member Norm Kent was hip to his hypocrisy. Having partied and protested alongside Coleman in college, Kent crafted an open letter to the Senator exposing his marijuana use and fundamentally undermining Coleman's reckless characterization of the drug's risks:
Dear Mr. Coleman,
My friend Norman.
Years ago, in a lifetime far away, you did not oppose the legalization of marijuana. Years ago, in our dorm rooms at Hofstra University, you, me, Billy, your future brother-in-law, Ivan, Jonathan, Peter, Janet, Nancy and a wealth of other students smoked dope.
Sure, we had to tape the doors shut, burn incense and open the windows, but we got high, and yet we grew up okay, without the help of the Office of National Drug Control Policy's advice...
Truly, nothing could better refute Norm Coleman's attacks against marijuana than the life of Norm Coleman. He smoked marijuana in college – like so, so, so many others – and now he is a U.S. Senator. He does not have lung cancer or schizophrenia.
As a general rule, I don't think it's our business who smoked pot in college. But so long as a great and terrible war is waged against marijuana users, we cannot always afford to take the moral high ground. Kent's letter reveals Coleman as a shameless liar in far fewer words than it would take to explain that marijuana doesn't cause cancer or idiocy.
Most importantly, Norm Coleman's public humiliation sends a message to other politicians that flagrant lies and rank hypocrisy will not be tolerated in the marijuana debate. Until our leaders finally get the message that Americans don't want this war, cheap political posturing will continue.
If a little narcing of our own can help silence other would-be drug war demogogues, I say let 'em have it.
Update: In hindsight, the above doesn't exhibit much respect for individual privacy, which is an important value that must always be considered even when dealing with dishonest folks. As Kent's letter notes, Coleman mentioned getting high in the school newspaper and used marijuana defiantly on the roof of a school building during a protest, so he'd already sacrificed any expectation of privacy.

I delete the zips as soon as I unzip and make sure nothing got corrupted.
the psds from previous years as zip files. we also have a separate backup drive in my house.
I delete the zip files, I just think of them as wrapping paper!
Keep the goodies, and get rid of the rest!
Not exactly because after unzip I remove all repeated parts like previews (except one) TOU and other designers info that coming the same with every pack. Also I combinate all elements, all papers, all brushes in their one folder, for fast use. And zip files are only if you needs the original info for some reason.
But this is my old habit from the shops where you have only 30 days to download what you are bought and only 5 downloads, so this is for protection that nothing wouldn't miss in future if disk gone broken.
Like the wrapping paper comparison, that's cute!

Ponting reflects on chat with Rishabh Pant
Posted on January 21, 2023 9:30 am By Agency
Australia legend Ricky Ponting has opened up on his affection for India batter Rishabh Pant following the India international's accident and suggested that the hugely-popular player could take up a role alongside him in the dugout at Delhi Capitals during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Australian legend Ponting, speaking on The ICC Review, revealed that he has been in contact with Pant during the 25-year-old's recovery. "I absolutely love the bloke, I told him that on the phone the last couple of days. It was a horrifying time, a really scary time for everybody, let alone him. Anyone that knows him loves him – he's a really infectious young guy that has the world at his feet still. So we will keep our fingers crossed and hope that he can get back to playing sooner rather than later," Ponting told The ICC Review. The star India wicket-keeper batter Pant was involved in a car crash on December 30 and suffered a number of serious injuries, however, he is making good progress with his recovery and is expected to make a return to the field eventually. The timeframe on Pant's return to cricket remains unclear, with his participation in this season's IPL not yet completely ruled out. However, it is deemed extremely unlikely that Delhi Capitals skipper Pant will play in the IPL 2023 with the head coach Ricky Pointing already looking at alternative ways to make up for the loss of his star player. "You can't replace those guys, simple as that. They don't grow on trees, players like that. We've got to look at – and we already are – a replacement to come into the squad, a wicketkeeper-batsman," Ponting said. However, Ponting's love and respect for his captain means that a big role at the Capitals will still be on offer if Pant is well enough, with the Australian saying "I want him sitting beside me in the dugout every day of the week". "If he's actually not physically fit enough to play, we'd still love to have him around. He's the sort of cultural leader around the g

Patented, Tested, and Approved Technology
This process began in 2001 and reached its first milestone in 2003, when ABS granted "Class Approval in Principle" (AIP) for EnerSea's ship design after an extensive program was completed to design the ship in cooperation with "K"Line (ship operator) and Hyundai Heavy Industries (ship builder). AIP is the first critical step in the process towards Class Approval and demonstrates that the VOTRANS vessels (both ships and barges), as designed, conform to ABS Class Rules and International Gas Code, as applicable. Subsequent to being granted AIP, and following the extensive Prototype Test Program (see below) and other engineering and design work, EnerSea was advised that "ABS will approve either the CNG ship or CNG barge with EnerSea's VOTRANS containment system". [Note that final class certification is only awarded after a vessel has been built and passed its sea and gas trials].
"EnerSea systems are ready to move directly into project construction"
"ABS will approve EnerSea ships and barges built with VOTRANS™ CNG systems"
– The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)
The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has stated that, "EnerSea systems are ready to move directly into project construction."
ABS issued their "Guide for Vessels Intended to Carry Compressed Natural Gases in Bulk" in April 2005. In January 2003, Det Norske Veritas (DNV) published its Special Service Rules providing guidance for "Compressed Natural Gas Carriers". Bureau Veritas also published its CNG guide, "Classificatin of Compressed Natural Gas Carriers", in April 2007.
EnerSea has worked with ABS and other leading Classification societies to ensure the development of its VOTRANS designs (ships and barges) complies with the rules and guides issued by these societies.
EnerSea holds several patents for its unique design in the United States and other countries worldwide covering key aspects of the gas containment and gas handling systems.
Prototype Test Program
As a further step to establish VOTRANS' readiness for projects, EnerSea successfully completed a 2-1/2 year, multi-million dollar Prototype Test Program. This two-part initiative confirmed that:
the VOTRANS containment system design and materials were robust and qualified for marine transport service; and
the functionality and system operability of the VOTRANS system behaved as designed in both normal and upset operating conditions.
These testing programs involved EnerSea's development team and participating clients and were witnessed and approved by ABS.
Full-scale Materials Tests: Full-scale (diameter) cylinders were constructed and subjected to cyclical pressure and bending fatigue stresses in accordance with ABS requirements at temperatures from -30o C to -50oC and operating pressures. All cylinders survived the pressurizations through the ABS-required three operating lifetimes without developing critical size fatigue cracks. EnerSea successfully completed all material testing to ABS requirements.
Gas Handling Validation Tests: EnerSea worked with the Gas Technology Institute (GTI) to test and validate the performance and operational characteristics of the VOTRANS Gas Handling System, evaluate static and dynamic aspects of the system, investigate fluid mechanical phenomenon, and to support the development of a framework for control logic and algorithms that can be applied to full-scale versions of the system. A scaled design of the VOTRANS system was constructed for testing.
Stable baseline operation of the system was performed to verify equipment operation under the target conditions, and real-time high-speed data were gathered and analyzed to evaluate temperature effects (e.g. gas compression or expansion, liquid heat build-up, formation of hydrates or ice) or other unexpected phenomenon. Flow rates, weights, temperatures and pressures at various points in the system were also documented. A second series of tests were performed to validate the performance and operation of the system against a matrix of abnormal operating conditions to assess the robustness of the system. These tests were performed successfully. EnerSea successfully completed all gas handling validation tests, which were approved by ABS.

Texas's San Antonio Symphony is Reborn as the San Antonio Philharmonic
Following the dissolution of the San Antonio Symphony in June 2022 over failed musicians' contract negotiations, the orchestra have regrouped as a new organization
In September 2021, the San Antonio Symphony's (SAS) musicians unanimously rejected a proposal that was aimed at resolving the orchestra's ongoing financial issues, which outlined a reduction of the orchestra's size from 72 full-time musicians to 42, causing 30 musicians to lose their salaries and health benefits.
The SAS — Texas's longest-running professional orchestra — went on strike at the time in protest. Additionally, on February 17, 2022, the Musicians of the San Antonio Symphony (MOSAS) staged a sit-in at San Antonio's City Council Chambers, campaigning for better management and rights to a living wage.
However, after months of failed negotiations over its musicians' contracts, the SAS board announced unanimous plans to file for bankruptcy, leading to the dissolution of the SAS in June 2022, after 83 years.
"To file bankruptcy in a situation where you haven't been paying musicians for over 2 years nor [have you] presented the orchestra in its full force for 26 months is unprecedented," said former SAS music director Sebastian Lang-Lessing on the board's decision, according to SFCV.
MOSAS did not see this as the end — recently regrouping and performing as the new San Antonio Philharmonic (SAPhil). With a brand new logo and website, SAPhil also announced their 2022/23 season to begin on September 16.
While they are not returning to their Tobin Center performing arts venue at this point, they will be performing at the First Baptist Church — their selected venue for MOSAS's concerts after going on strike and without backing from SAS management, rather, forming the SAS Performance Fund to help cover costs.
"It's a new organization, [but an] old orchestra," said SAPhil bassoonist Brian Petkovich. "We're really excited to keep our ensemble together from the San Antonio Symphony and move forward together."
"Our musicians, who hail from around the world and now call San Antonio home, are determined to instill in our neighbors the excitement of great music, to move audiences emotionally during a time of disruption and change," he added, as stated in the San Antonio Report. "This is an historic opportunity to do something special and lasting, and we invite everyone to be part of continuing this cultural legacy for San Antonio."
"When the [SAS] management ceased operations in June, 2022, the musicians — some of whom won their seats in the 1970s and '80s — were determined to preserve world-class music in San Antonio," SAPhil wrote on their website. "With their formation of the [SAPhil], we all have an historic opportunity to re-invent what an orchestra in the 21st century can be. One that reflects the spirit of our time and place. We invite all to take part and feel the pride," they added.
For their upcoming season, SAPhil will present performances with conductors including Ken-David Masur, Noam Aviel, Akiko Fujimoto, Charles Floyd, David Cho, Sebastian Lang-Lessing, Christopher Wilkins, Garrett Keast, Tito Muñoz, and Andrew Grams, as well as feature violinists Randall Goosby and VC Young Artist Nancy Zhou.

Postacie
 kongresmen Francis "Frank" Underwood – absolwent fikcyjnej szkoły "The Sentinel" (podobnej do prawdziwego college'u – The Citadel) i Harvard Law School, demokrata wybrany w piątym okręgu Karoliny Południowej, rzecznik dyscypliny partyjnej (Chief Whip), ambitny, bezkompromisowy, dążący po trupach do celu. W formule serialu często, stosując solilokwium – zwraca się bezpośrednio do widzów, zdradzając im swoje przemyślenia oraz ujawniając pogardę wobec postaci, z którymi rozmawia. Nienawidzi dzieci i nie ma zdolności empatii. W wolnych chwilach relaksuje się grając w gry typu first-person shooter na konsoli Playstation 3 oraz ćwicząc na stacjonarnej maszynie wioślarskiej. Praktykuje nocne rozmowy z żoną w oknie swojego domu, podczas których małżonkowie palą wspólnie papierosa i zwierzają się ze swoich rozterek.
 Claire Underwood – żona Francisa. Prowadzi organizację non profit Clean Water Initiative, która jest wspierana przez polityczną działalność jej męża. Jej dawną miłością jest nowojorski fotograf Adam Galloway, z którym czasem się spotyka. Podobnie jak jej mąż, dąży za wszelką cenę do postawionych sobie celów i nienawidzi sprzeciwów – w autorytarny sposób zarządzając swoją fundacją. Pozwala Frankowi na romans z Zoe, wierząc, iż ułatwi on manipulowanie dziennikarką. Nigdy nie miała dzieci; dokonała trzech aborcji. Miewa rozterki i wyrzuty sumienia, ale ma wyraźne problemy z wyrażaniem empatii i współczucia wobec cierpienia innych. Daje swojemu mężowi bardzo dużo swobody, oczekując w zamian jego bezwarunkowej szczerości i partnerstwa. Przez producentów serialu opisana słowami: "Za każdym wielkim człowiekiem stoi żona z krwią na rękach". Pod koniec pierwszego sezonu popada w konflikt ze swoją pracownicą Gillian Cole, która nie zgadza się na wykorzystanie fundacji Claire w spotach reklamowych korporacji energetycznej.
 Zoe Barnes – dziennikarka "The Washington Herald" (później "Slugline"), kochanka Francisa regularnie przez niego informowana i manipulowana. Po rzekomym samobójstwie Petera Russo razem z Janine Skorsky próbuje nakłonić Christinę Gallagher do współpracy w celu wyjaśnienia okoliczności śmierci mężczyzny.

 Doug Stamper – szef sztabu Underwooda. Wykonuje wszystkie zadania dla swojego szefa – również te niezgodne z prawem i etykietą kongresmena. Opiekuje się prostytutką, którą wykorzystuje wraz z Frankiem do zniszczenia kariery Petera Russo. Podczas strajku nauczycieli, bierze udział w intrydze Franka i pod osłoną nocy atakuje ich dom cegłą, po to, by zrzucić winę za agresję na strajkujących nauczycieli. W przeszłości miał problemy z alkoholem, więc poproszony przez Franka, chodził z Peterem Russo na spotkania AA.
 Linda Vasquez – szefowa sztabu Białego Domu. Po tym jak Frank pomaga jej synowi dostać się na studia, ma wobec niego dług wdzięczności.
 Janine Skorsky – dziennikarka polityczna w "The Washington Herald", która za namową Zoe przechodzi do "Slugline".
 Gillian Cole – pracownica Claire, założycielka World Well – organizacji pozarządowej zajmującej się dostarczaniem czystej wody do krajów rozwijających się.

Fabuła

Seria pierwsza
Głównym bohaterem serialu jest kongresmen Francis Underwood, bezwzględny rzecznik dyscypliny partyjnej Partii Demokratycznej w Kongresie Stanów Zjednoczonych. Ciężko pracował przy kampanii wyborczej do Białego Domu, licząc na stanowisko ministerialne w nowym rządzie. Pozbawiony przez prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych Garetta Walkera możliwości objęcia stanowiska Sekretarza Stanu, postanawia się na nim zemścić.

Kierowniczka kadry Białego Domu, Linda Vasquez, oświadcza Underwoodowi, że prezydent potrzebuje jego umiejętności skutecznej realizacji polityki rządowej w Kongresie, i dlatego też nie zamierza honorować ich wcześniejszego ustalenia, na mocy którego kongresmen spodziewał się nominacji na stanowisko Sekretarza Stanu. Underwood jest zmuszony szybko opanować swoje emocje i ukryć rozczarowanie, by zaprezentować się jako pomocny zwolennik nowo wybranego prezydenta. W rzeczywistości, główny bohater rozpoczyna skomplikowany plan zyskania władzy na własny użytek, za plecami prezydenta.

Jego żona Claire prowadzi organizację charytatywną ale jej intencje nie są jednak jednoznaczne. Wydaje się, że pod przykrywką działalności charytatywnej zabiega o władzę i wpływy, jednakże jej prawdziwe zamiary pozostają nieznane. By ukazać się na arenie międzynarodowej, zmienia profil działalności organizacji na umożliwiający wspieranie budowy studni międzynarodowych mających zapewnić dostęp do czystej wody. To z kolei spotyka się z dużym niezadowoleniem ze strony kierowniczki jej biura, Evelyn. Claire nakazuje kierowniczce zwolnić 18 pracowników, obcinając jednocześnie zatrudnienie w organizacji o połowę. Pod koniec dnia, kiedy Claire przychodzi by dowiedzieć się, jak poszła redukcja etatów, informuje Evelyn, że ją także od początku planowała zwolnić. Jest jasne, że Claire jest osobą pragmatyczną i pozbawioną empatii, która głęboko pragnie władzy w tak samo bezwzględny sposób jak jej mąż.

Underwood rozpoczyna zawiły plan uzyskania pozycji w Gabinecie Stanów Zjednoczonych. Rozpoczyna romans z reporterką Zoe Barns, a następnie zawiera z nią umowę – dostarcza jej informacji w zamian za publikowanie bulwersujących historii o jego rywalach. Jednocześnie manipuluje Peterem Russo, zmagającym się z problemem alkoholowym kongresmenem z Pensylwanii – chce, by ten pomógł mu podkopać pozycję senatora Michaela Kerna, który ma zostać niebawem nominowany przez prezydenta na stanowisko sekretarza stanu. Underwood docelowo zastępuje Kerna swoim własnym wyborem, senator Catherine Durant. Kongresmen wykorzystuje również Russo do zakończenia strajku nauczycieli, co poprawia jego pozycję w oczach Walkera.

Ponieważ nowy wiceprezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych jest byłym gubernatorem Pensylwanii, rozpoczynają się wybory uzupełniające na gubernatora tego stanu. Underwood pomaga Russo wyjść z alkoholizmu i wspiera jego kandydaturę na to stanowisko, ale następnie przy pomocy call girl Rachel Posner sprowadza Russo z powrotem na złą drogę i wyciągając na wierzch jego problemy alkoholowe powoduje jego upadek tuż przed wyborami. Russo reaguję na tę porażkę całkowitym powrotem do nałogu, upija się i ukrywa w swoim domu odmawiając rozmowy z kimkolwiek. Będąc pijanym postanawia oczyścić swoje imię i decyduje się na udzielenie w prasie wywiadu na temat swojej umowy z Underwoodem. Frank pozoruje jego samobójstwo, upijając go jeszcze bardziej i pozostawiając w zamkniętym garażu z włączonym silnikiem samochodu. Wykorzystując chaos podczas wyborów w Pensylwanii, Underwood przekonuje wiceprezydenta do zrezygnowania z pełnionej funkcji na rzecz kandydowania na pozycję gubernatora Pensylwanii, co otwiera kongresmenowi wolną drogę do wiceprezydentury, zgodnie z jego wcześniejszym planem.

Walker jednak ma inny plan dotyczący stanowiska wiceprezydenta. Underwood dostaje zadanie sprawdzenia wiarygodności nowego, zaskakującego kandydata, miliardera Raymonda Tuska. Po pewnym czasie Tusk ujawnia, że tak naprawdę to on został wybrany do sprawdzenia wiarygodności Underwooda. Tymczasem Underwood decyduje się zakończyć romans z Zoe, która zaczyna łączyć wątki dotyczące knowań Franka. Sezon kończy się w momencie, kiedy Underwood zgadza się objąć stanowisko wiceprezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych.

Seria druga
Podczas gdy Frank oczekuje na zaprzysiężenie na stanowisku wiceprezydenta, Zoe i jej koledzy z pracy, Lucas Goodwin i Janine Skorsky, kontynuują poszukiwania informacji na jego temat, w efekcie czego udaje im się zlokalizować Rachel Posner. Asystent Franka, Doug Stamper, zapewnia jej bezpieczeństwo, podczas gdy Frank zwabia Zoe na stację metra i, poza zasięgiem monitoringu, spycha ją pod nadjeżdżający pociąg. Śmierć dziewczyny sprawia, że Lucas sam kontynuuje poszukiwania i z pomocą hakera śledzi historię wiadomości Franka z AT&A. W rzeczywistości okazuje się, że haker pracuje dla Douga Stampera. W efekcie reporter rozstaje aresztowany przez FBI pod zarzutem cyberterroryzmu i krótko potem skazany.

Claire zbliża się do pierwszej damy i obie wspierają reformy dotyczące przestępstw seksualnych wśród wojskowych po tym, jak Claire ujawnia podczas wywiadu, że poddała się aborcji, kiedy na studiach została zgwałcona przez mężczyznę, który właśnie uzyskał stopień generała. Claire dowiaduje się również, że małżeństwo prezydenta przeżywa kryzys, i proponuje pierwszej damie pomoc doradcy duchownego.

Chociaż Raymond Tusk ma znaczny wpływ na prezydenta, Frank ma zamiar popsuć ich wzajemne relacje. Spotyka się z Xanderem Fengiem, chińskim biznesmenem i sojusznikiem Tuska, by zaangażować go w dyplomatyczne negocjacje, które Frank ostatecznie zgodnie z własnymi intencjami burzy, a następnie wykorzystuje chaos, jaki udało mu się spowodować tą sytuacją, aby przedstawić Tuska jako winnego całemu zajściu. To zaostrza relacje chińsko-amerykańskie, prowadząc do wojny gospodarczej o minerały ziem rzadkich, i powoduje znaczący wzrost w cenach energii w USA. Tusk otwarcie sprzeciwia się wysiłkom prezydenta mającym na celu opanowanie kryzysu. Frank odkrywa, że Tusk transferuje duże sumy pieniędzy otrzymanych od Xandera Fenga, po czym aby mu to uniemożliwić, oferuje Fengowi lukratywny kontrakt na budowę mostów w zamian za zakończenie współpracy z Tuskiem.

Departament Sprawiedliwości odkrywa, że Doug Stamper został nagrany w kasynie, i rozpoczyna dochodzenie w sprawie powiązań pomiędzy Tuskiem, Fengiem i Białym Domem. Aby zdobyć zaufanie swojego prokuratora, Frank manipuluje prezydentem, by ujawnił mu dane dotyczące swoich podróży. Na skutek tego na jaw wychodzą wizyty w poradni rodzinnej, a jednocześnie pojawia się pytanie, czy nielegalne dotacje kampanii były kiedykolwiek dyskutowane. Podczas gdy Komitet Sprawiedliwości zaczyna przygotowywać wniosek o oskarżenie prezydenta, Frank jednocześnie z prezydentem proponują Tuskowi prezydencką amnestię w zamian za wciągnięcie tego drugiego w aferę. Początkowo Tusk sprzymierza się z prezydentem; Frank nie ma innego wyjścia, jak podjąć próbę odzyskania przyjacielskich stosunków z prezydentem. Prezydent odwołuje umowę z Tuskiem, aby udowodnić swoją przyjaźń z Frankiem, na co Tusk rewanżuje się, ujawniając fakt, że prezydent wiedział o jego umowach z Chińczykami. To nie pozostawia prezydentowi innego wyboru jak zrezygnować ze stanowiska. Frank zostaje zaprzysiężony jako nowy prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych.

Seria trzecia
Pod koniec II serii Doug został brutalnie zaatakowany przez Rachel. W wyniku tego przechodzi żmudną oraz trudną rehabilitację i póki co nie może pomóc Underwoodowi. Frank pełni urząd prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych, jednak nie cieszy się szerokim poparciem społeczeństwa. Dlatego proponuje program America Works, który ma dać pracę 10 milionom bezrobotnym. Claire przejawia coraz większe ambicje i chce oprócz roli pierwszej damy być także ambasadorem USA przy ONZ, lecz w wyniku głosowania senatorów jej start przepada. Tymczasem kierownictwo Partii Demokratycznej nie chce dać Frankowi nominacji w wyborach w 2016 – Underwood oficjalnie ogłasza rezygnację z walki o fotel prezydencki i publicznie ogłasza program America Works.

Ostatecznie na skutek interwencji prezydenta w Senacie jego żona obejmuje urząd ambasadora USA przy ONZ. Underwoodowie podejmują gości z Rosji. Na ich czele stoi prezydent Wiktor Pietrow – Frank próbuje go przekonać do wspólnych działań na Bliskim Wschodzie, lecz ostatecznie negocjacje kończą się porażką, a Durant planuje zastosować weto wobec Federacji na szczycie ONZ. Tymczasem Doug Stamper z pomocą hakera, któremu dał gwarancję bezpieczeństwa i pracę w FBI poszukuje Rachel Posner.

Frank po pogrzebie trzech amerykańskich żołnierzy poległych w Afganistanie otrzymuje pogłoskę o starcie w wyborach Heather Dunbar – oskarżycielki prezydenta Garretta. By odwieść ją od tego pomysłu chce on by objęła ona urząd głównego sędziego, który pełni Robert Jacobson, lecz na skutek choroby Alzheimera planuje on przejść na emeryturę. Nieoczekiwanie Dunbar ogłasza start w wyborach na prezydenta, a Jacobson oświadcza Underwoodowi, że nie planuje przejść na wcześniejszą emeryturę. Tymczasem Doug – pozostający wciąż na bocznym torze chce dołączyć do sztabu Dunbar.

Frank i Clair ruszają do Moskwy celem renegocjacji umowy. Ceną udanego konsensu jest uwolnienie Michaela Corrigana – więźnia, który ma wygłosić oświadczenie potępiające swoją działalność. Jednak on nie chce tego zrobić, zatem Claire przebywa do jego celi i negocjuje z nim. Tymczasem Frank próbuje wypracować konsensus z prezydentem Petrovem. Pozornie wypracowany kompromis burzy samobójstwo Corrigana i słowa Claire na konferencji prasowej, które krytykują Viktora Petrova. Underwoodowie wracają bez sukcesu z Rosji, a w samolocie dochodzi między nimi do kłótni. Udało się jednak zorganizować pokojową operację ONZ w Dolinie Jordanu.

Do wschodniego wybrzeża USA zbliża się ogromny huragan. Pojawiają się kontrowersje związane z faktem, że Frank przeznaczył pieniądze związane ze zwalczaniem katastrof naturalnych na America Works. W ostateczności podpisuje ustawę, która ma zasilić fundusze na walkę z huraganem, lecz nieoczekiwanie kataklizm nie uderza. Frank zatrudnia pisarza, który ma napisać książkę dotyczącą America Works, lecz ostatecznie opisuje ona bardziej jego życiorys niż ten program. Underwood decyduje się wystartować w wyborach prezydenckich i rusza w trasę.

Na skutek śmierci 8 rosyjskich żołnierzy w Dolinie Jordanu relacje na linii USA-Rosja stają się napięte. Tymczasem Doug otrzymuje od hakera informacje o tym, że Rachel nie żyje. By ratować sytuację na Bliskim Wschodzie Frank rusza do Doliny Jordanu i spotyka się z Viktorem Petrovem. Jednak prezydent Rosji chce dalszych ustępstw, w tym żąda ustąpienia Claire ze stanowiska ambasadora USA przy ONZ. W Partii Demokratycznej ruszają prawybory. Do debaty w New Hampshire przystępują: Frank, Dunbar i Jackie Sharp. Pierwsze komentarze wskazują na zwycięstwo Underwooda, lecz nieoczekiwanie Jackie postanawia wesprzeć Heather Dunbar, tym samym łamiąc umowę z Frankiem.

Sędzia Jacobson składa rezygnację ze stanowiska. Doug powraca do Franka i otrzymuje posadę szefa sztabu prezydenta. Stamper udowadnia swoją lojalność poprzez zerwanie współpracy z Dunbar i zniszczenie pamiętnika, który mógł skompromitować Claire. Frank wygrywa prawybory w Iowa, lecz relacje z jego żoną stają się coraz chłodniejsze, aż ostatecznie Claire opuszcza Francisa. Doug uprowadza Rachel i ją zabija.

Seria czwarta
Claire po scysji z Frankiem udaje się do Teksasu, odwiedzając swoją matkę, która jest umierająca. Claire sabotuje kampanię Franka, przez co prezydent odnosi straty. Claire stawia żądanie, iż chce zostać running mate, Frank jednak się na to nie zgadza. Claire korzysta z pomocy konsultantki z Teksasu, Leann Harvey.

Lucas Goodwin zostaje zwolniony z więzienia. Obmyśla plan zemsty, starając się dotrzeć do Heather Dunbar. Kobieta jednak nie chce z nim współpracować, co popycha Goodwina do zamachu na prezydenta, w wyniku którego ginie Meechum (który jednak zdąży zastrzelić Goodwina) a Frank zostaje bardzo ciężko ranny. Claire na wieść o zamachu rzuca się w wir polityki, lecąc do Niemiec na negocjacje z Petrovem, podczas których osiąga dyplomatyczny sukces. Nie mogąc go sobie jednak przypisać z racji tego, iż jako pierwsza dama nie posiada żadnej władzy, ceduje swoje zwycięstwo na Cathy Durant.

Stan prezydenta pogarsza się, wymaga on przeszczepu wątroby. Doug w nieetyczny sposób przesuwa Franka na czoło listy oczekujących na organ. Po przeszczepie Underwood odzyskuje zdrowie i wraca do kampanii. Dunbar zostaje pogrążona po tym, jak do prasy dociera informację o tym, iż spotkała się z Goodwinem. Kobieta rezygnuje z kandydowania. Tom Hammerschmidt rozpoczyna własne śledztwo dziennikarskie, próbując dotrzeć do osób z otoczenia Franka. Leann dołącza do zespołu Franka, co irytuje Douga. Doug chcąc zachować swoje wpływy, napuszcza na Leann Setha. Ostatecznie jednak Doug przegrywa potyczkę personalną i zmuszony jest do współpracy z Leann.

Frank po wyzdrowieniu, zgadza się by Claire została jego running mate. Wspólnie obmyślają intrygę, w wyniku której Claire mogłaby otrzymać nominację od partii. Frank proponuje kierownictwu otwartą konwencję, podczas której Claire i Frank oficjalnie popierają Cathy Durant, prowadząc jednocześnie nieetyczną grę przeciwko niej. Cathy po zorientowaniu się w sytuacji, nawiązuje sojusz z kandydatem Republikanów Willem Conwayem. Frank ucieka się do gróźb wobec Durant, w wyniku których kobieta decyduje się odpuścić. Konwent nominuje Franka i Claire na kandydatów na prezydenta i wiceprezydenta z ramienia Partii Demokratycznej.

Kandydat Republikanów, Will Conway góruje nad Underwoodem w sondażach. Conway ma ładną żonę i dzieci, jednocześnie promuje siebie jako młodego kandydata obeznanego w nowoczesnych technologiach. Conway gra kartą bezpieczeństwa, nominując na running mate generała, który przeciwstawił się Frankowi.

W obliczu zagrożenia terrorystycznego ze strony Islamskiego Kalifatu (w skrócie ICO) Frank prosi Conwaya o współpracę w celu uwolnienia trzyosobowej rodziny (rodziców z dzieckiem), która została porwana przez ekstremistów. Porywacze z zakładnikami znajdują się na terytorium USA i żądają rozmowy z Conwayem. Frank wykorzystuje obecność Conwaya do swoich politycznych celów, doprowadza jednak do uwolnienia porwanej kobiety i jej dziecka, w rękach ekstremistów pozostaje jednak mężczyzna. Z więzienia na Kubie zostaje doprowadzony terrorysta, z którym negocjuje Claire. Kobieta wymaga od niego, by poprosił ekstremistów o uwolnienie zakładnika. Podczas rozmowy z porywaczami, terrorysta działa wbrew woli Claire.

Tom Hammerschmidt uzyskuje wsparcie Jackie, Remy'ego oraz byłego prezydenta Walkera. Dziennikarz zamierza opublikować artykuł pogrążający Franka. Underwood konfrontuje się z Tomem, jednak nie osiąga niczego wobec nieugiętej postawy dziennikarza. Frank i Claire naradzają się i dochodzą do wniosku, iż odpowiedzią na atak Toma powinno być tworzenie chaosu i atmosfery strachu. Frank przemawia do narodu w orędziu i oznajmia, iż USA jest w stanie wojny z terrorystami.

W ostatniej scenie sezonu w centrum zarządzania kryzysowego Frank i Claire siedzą obok siebie na wprost ekranu. W sali obecni są też pracownicy Białego Domu. Najbliżej Claire i Franka siedzą: Tom Yates oraz Leann Harvey. Na ekranie zostaje wyemitowana scena egzekucji zakładnika. Wszyscy poza Claire i Frankiem są poruszeni filmem i odwracają głowy, nie mogąc patrzeć na nagranie. Frank i Claire oglądają egzekucję bez żadnych emocji, patrząc się bez żadnego poruszenia na ekran. Claire każe wyłączyć dźwięk, po czym Frank i Claire burzą wspólnie czwartą ścianę. Frank zwracając się do widzów oraz patrząc porozumiewawczo na Claire oświadcza, iż on i jego żona nie ulegają terrorowi, ale go stosują.

Seria piąta
Przed wyborami w 2016 roku Frank wykorzystuje strach przez ICO, aby wprowadzić stan wojenny w miastach i zmniejszyć liczbę komisji wyborczych w najważniejszych stanach. Choć oficjalnie zrobił to z uwagi to bezpieczeństwa, ma to na celu wyeliminowanie wiejskich wyborców republikańskich. Doug grozi hakerowi Aidanowi Macallanowi, aby przeprowadził on cyberatak na NSA, zwalniając ruch internetowy i usuwając setki tysięcy plików. Administracja Underwood przypisuje atak ICO.

W dniu wyborów wynik zależy od Pensylwanii, Tennessee i Ohio. Inaczej, niż w wymarzonym planie Underwoodów, pierwsze wyniki faworyzują Conwaya. Machina polityczna Underwooda wywołuje atak terrorystyczny w Knoxville w stanie Tennessee, który zostaje przypisany do lokalnego sympatyka ICO. Ponieważ oficjalne wyniki w Pensylwanii wskazują na Conwaya, a Ohio także skłania się w jego stronę, Frank po cichu dzwoni do Conwaya, aby pogratulować zwycięstwa. Jest to jednak tylko element taktyczny, gdyż Underwoodowie kontaktują się z gubernatorem Ohio i przekonują go do wcześniejszego zakończenia wyborów z powodu zagrożenia terrorystycznego. Departamenty stanów Ohio i Tennessee nie zatwierdzają wyborów, więc żaden z kandydatów nie otrzymuje potrzebnej ilości głosów elektorskich.

Dziewięć tygodni po nierozwiązanych wyborach w życie wchodzi dwunasta poprawka - czyli głosowanie przez członków Kongresu. Podczas spotkania z grupą czarnoskórych kongresmenów Conway zaczyna tracić. W związku z tym oraz notowaniami Franka dochodzi do remisu w Kongresie, podczas gdy Claire udaje się zdobyć głosy senatorów i zaczyna pełnić obowiązki prezydenta. W obliczu remisu, Claire zarządza wybory w Ohio i Tennessee. W międzyczasie Jane Davis, urzędnik niskiego szczebla w Departamencie Handlu, posiadający szeroką siatkę połączeń i wpływów, zaczyna ściśle współpracować z Underwoodami.

Jako zwykły obywatel, Frank dociera na spotkanie potężnych ludzi w tajnej grupie zwanej Polami Elizejskimi, starając się zapewnić ich wpływ na głosy w nadchodzących wyborach. Tymczasem Conway ma załamanie psychiczne - uważa bowiem, że wybory zostały mu ukradzione. W końcu to i inne przecieki z jego kampanii są powoli przekazywane do mediów w sposób, który wydaje się niezwiązany z Underwoodami. Widząc, że jego kandydat przegrywa, menedżer kampanii Conwaya, Mark Usher, przechodzi na stronę Underwooda. Underwood wygrywa zarówno Ohio, jak i Tennessee, a Frank zostaje zaprzysiężony jako prezydent, a Claire jako wiceprezydent.

W międzyczasie Hammerschidt kontynuuje śledztwo w sprawie śmierci Zoe i otrzymuje informacje od nieznanej osoby z Białego Domu. Udostępniane mu są dokumenty, które wraz z innymi zarzutami powodują przesłuchanie Franka w celu impeachmentu. Underwoodowie zaczynają więc śledzić cały personel Białego Domu. W końcu, osoba ta wykonuje telefon do Hammerschmidta, wplatając Douga w morderstwo Zoe. Underwoodzie przekonują Douga, by przyznał się do zabójstwa Zoe, a osobą wysyłającą dokumenty okazuje się sam Frank.

Wyciek okazuje się być częścią planu Franka, aby zrezygnować z prezydentury na rzecz Claire, wierząc, że jego pragnienie władzy może zostać lepiej osiągnięte w sektorze prywatnym, działając razem z żoną-prezydentką. Frank, zaniepokojony planem Durant, aby zeznawał podczas procesu w sprawie impeachmentu, popycha ją na schody po akceptacji jej rezygnacji, przez co zostaje ona hospitalizowana i nie może zeznawać. Claire truje Yatesa zbyt dużą dawką gelsemium, które otrzymuje od Jane bojącej się, że wie on zbyt dużo. Ostatecznie, kontrahenci pracujący dla Underwoodoów eliminują LeAnn, spychając jej samochód na barierę ochronną. Frank rezygnuje i oboje czekają na odpowiedni moment, by Claire mu przebaczyła. Ma on formę wojskowej operacji specjalnej, która odnajduje lidera ICO i oddala zainteresowanie mediów od Franka. Stojąc w Gabinecie Owalnym, Claire wydaje się ponownie rozważać ułaskawienie Franka i ignoruje dotyczących sprawy jego pytań. Sezon kończy się, gdy Claire rozłącza się, aby powiedzieć widzom: "Moja kolej."

How to disable redirects from Google Search results to Android apps?
I had the Wikipedia app installed a few weeks ago. It lacked the ability to switch between different languages (link to read the same article in a different language), and it still does. This bothered me a lot since I know more than one language and some articles are much better written in other languages. So I like the ability to easily switch language. This is something that works very good on the mobile versions of Wikipedia (e.g. m.en.wikipedia.org).
Here's a screenshot showing an example.
Is there a way I can disable or disallow this behaviour? I certainly don't approve of it, but I was never asked about it either. I'm not interested in using the Wikipedia app any more. I just want normal Web browsing to be back. Is that too much to ask? I tried re-installing and uninstalling the Wikipedia app two times, it didn't help.
You may have noticed that there is an "Open on wikipedia.org" link further down the page. This will certainly open the article in the browser, instead of insisting on opening in the Wikipedia app. But the problem with this is that it's much harder to pin-point the link, because it has smaller font size.
As for "Default applications" menu option, I don't have any option to disable Wikipedia or wiki links. I only have "Home", and "Message" options.
This problem is clearly related to Chrome browser only. Here are two screenshots of Chrome and Firefox respectively, showing the same Google search results.
Firefox on the left, Chrome on the right.
Firefox (version 32.0.3) clearly doesn't even have the ability to link to the Wikipedia app. Instead, it would show the article as a normal web page. Regardless of whether or not the Wikipedia app is installed or not.
As can be seen from the screenshot above, in first update, the "Default applications" option has no options to set or reset defaults for wiki links (or other types of app links in Chrome). Additionally, there are no default settings that can be reset under Application manager. Not for Chrome, nor for Wikipedia app. It just says "no defaults set".
Chrome on the left, Wikipedia on the right.
Chrome version 33.0.1750.517 came with the latest Android 4.4.2 (or a few versions below that, for this phone model anyway). In this version, tapping on a link for a Wikipedia article redirects to the Wikipedia app automatically. If the Wikipedia app is not present, it brings up the app page in Play Store. This behavior can't be change through setting in the Chrome browser or some default settings in the phone menu. However, updating Chrome to the latest version, which at the moment is 37.0.2062.117 does away with this problem. The first noticeable difference is that it presents the "Complete action using" dialog, which was not present with version 33.x.
Chrome 33 on the left, Chrome 37 in the middle, Wikipedia 2.0-r-2014-08-13 on the right.
The second difference is what's really good! When you uninstall Wikipedia, it no longer shows the "Complete action" dialog. Neither does it bring up the app page in Play Store. Instead, it opens the Wikipedia article like a normal web page. The normal behavior one would expect. Yes, it still says "Wikipedia app" underneath the link, but it opens like a normal web page. The same behavior as seen in Firefox.
This is in part because the Wikipedia app is set as the default app for Wikipedia links, and in part because Chrome is not up to date.
If the Wikipedia app is installed, go to step 4. Else, go to step 7.
Locate "Wikipedia" and tap on it.
Under "Launch by default", tap the "Clear defaults" button.
Go back to Application manager.
Locate "Chrome" and tap on it.
If Chrome version number is equal or greater than 37.0.2062.117, press the home button to go back to the home screen. Else, go to Play Store, locate "Chrome" and make sure to get the latest update.
Open Chrome. The following steps are optional.
Locate "en.m.wikipedia.org" and tap on it.
These steps apply to Android 4.4.2.
Follow this workaround: Go to Settings → Applications → Internet → change the default search engine to Bing. Bing will not automatically redirect you to Google Play and it opens the page in browser.

Emaar Square Mall is a part of the "Emaar Square" project along with residential units, offices and a hotel forming a complete development. Emaar Square takes its name from the wide and historical squares of Istanbul that unite people and lifestyles, having been envisioned to become a social hub. It has a strategic and central location on the Asian side of Istanbul with a convenient access from the main highways of the city. Being a shopping mall, acoustics was one of the main concerns. High occupancy rate, large volumes, high ceilings and floor openings made the use of materials with good acoustic performance a must. RIGITONE® acoustic ceiling boards were chosen by the contractor for a controlled acoustic environment and good sound absorption. Successful application by the contractor has also led to a monolithic appearance resulting in a highly aesthetic finish for curvilinear planes.

Q: How to properly set contrasts in R I have been asked to see if there is a linear trend in 3 groups of data (5 points each) by using ANOVA and linear contrasts. The 3 groups represent data collected in 2010, 2011 and 2012. I want to use R for this procedure and I have tried both of the following:
contrasts(data$groups, how.many=1) <- contr.poly(3)
contrasts(data$groups)  <- contr.poly(3)

Both ways seem to work fine but give slightly different answers in terms of their p-values. I have no idea which is correct and it is really tricky to find help for this on the web. I would like help figuring out what is the reasoning behind the different answers. I'm not sure if it has something to do with partitioning sums of squares or whatnot.

A: Both approaches differ with respect to whether a quadratic polynomial is used.
For illustration purposes, have a look at this example, both x and y are a factor with three levels.
x <- y <- gl(3, 2)
# [1] 1 1 2 2 3 3
# Levels: 1 2 3

The first approach creates a contrast matrix for a quadratic polynomial, i.e., with a linear (.L) and a quadratic trend (.Q). The 3 means: Create the 3 - 1th polynomial.
contrasts(x) <- contr.poly(3)
# [1] 1 1 2 2 3 3
# attr(,"contrasts")
#              .L         .Q
# 1 -7.071068e-01  0.4082483
# 2 -7.850462e-17 -0.8164966
# 3  7.071068e-01  0.4082483
# Levels: 1 2 3

In contrast, the second approach results in a polynomial of first order (i.e., a linear trend only). This is due to the argument how.many = 1. Hence, only 1 contrast is created.
contrasts(y, how.many = 1) <- contr.poly(3)
# [1] 1 1 2 2 3 3
# attr(,"contrasts")
#              .L
# 1 -7.071068e-01
# 2 -7.850462e-17
# 3  7.071068e-01
# Levels: 1 2 3

If you're interested in the linear trend only, the second option seems more appropriate for you.

A: Changing the contrasts you ask for changes the degrees of freedom of the model. If one model requests linear and quadratic contrasts, and a second specifies only, say, the linear contrast, then the second model has an extra degree of freedom: this will increase the power to test the linear hypothesis, (at the cost of preventing the model fitting the quadratic trend).
Using the full ("nlevels - 1") set of contrasts creates an orthogonal set of contrasts which explore the full set of (independent) response configurations. Cutting back to just one prevents the model from fitting one configuration (in this case the quadratic component which our data in fact possess.
To see how this works, use the built-in dataset mtcars, and test the (confounded) relationship of gears to  gallons. We'll hypothesize that the more gears the better (at least up to some point).
df = mtcars # copy the dataset
df$gear = as.ordered(df$gear) # make an ordered factor

Ordered factors default to polynomial contrasts, but we'll set them here to be explicit:
contrasts(df$gear) <- contr.poly(nlevels(df$gear))

Then we can model the relationship.
m1 = lm(mpg ~ gear, data = df);
summary.lm(m1)
#             Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
# (Intercept)  20.6733     0.9284  22.267  < 2e-16 ***
# gear.L        3.7288     1.7191   2.169  0.03842 *
# gear.Q       -4.7275     1.4888  -3.175  0.00353 **
#
# Multiple R-squared:  0.4292,  Adjusted R-squared:  0.3898
# F-statistic:  10.9 on 2 and 29 DF,  p-value: 0.0002948

Note we have F(2,29) = 10.9 for the overall model and p=.038 for our linear effect with an estimated extra 3.7 mpg/gear.
Now let's only request the linear contrast, and run the "same" analysis.
contrasts(df$gear, how.many = 1) <- contr.poly(nlevels(df$gear))
m1 = lm(mpg ~ gear, data = df)
summary.lm(m1)
# Coefficients:
#             Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
# (Intercept)   21.317      1.034  20.612   <2e-16 ***
# gear.L         5.548      1.850   2.999   0.0054 **
# Multiple R-squared:  0.2307,  Adjusted R-squared:  0.205
# F-statistic: 8.995 on 1 and 30 DF,  p-value: 0.005401

The linear effect of gear is now bigger (5.5 mpg) and  p << .05 - A win? Except the overall model fit is now significantly worse: variance accounted for is now just 23% (was 43%)! Why is clear if we plot the relationship:
plot(mpg ~ gear, data = df) # view the relationship

So, if you're interested in the linear trend, but also expect (or are unclear about) additional levels of complexity, you should also test these higher polynomials. The quadratic (or, in general, trends up to levels-1).
Note too that in this example the physical mechanism is confounded: We've forgotten that number of gears is confounded with automatic vs manual transmission, and also with weight, and sedan vs sports car.
If someone wants to test the hypothesis that 4 gears is better than 3, they could answer this question :-)
