Will Mickey Mouse finally get his own ride at Disneyland? A Disney fan blog is reporting that the park plans to build a major new ride in Toontown called Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, modeled after a similar ride already under construction in Florida.
Disney officials declined to comment on the report by WDWNewsToday.com, saying they have nothing publicly to announce at this time. The blog post spelled out plans for the new attraction that it says would be built between Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin and the Toontown City Hall.
People boarding the ride would "walk through" a movie screen onto a train driven by the Goofy character. The train would then split up into separate cars on a trackless system, according to Tom Corless, who wrote the report, which he said was based on insider information. It would also include a new original song. The project would be a nod to the beginnings of the Disney saga, when then-unknown Walt Disney and animator Ub Iwerks created a cartoon mouse.
His first big hit was in "Steamboat Willie," one of the first animated cartoons to ever include synchronized music and sound effects. It premiered Nov. 18, 1928, and, now, Nov. 18 is considered "Mickey's birthday." Typically, the parks have some sort of special celebration that day, and there is speculation that Disney might announce the new Anaheim ride then. People can currently visit Mickey's House and Minnie's House and have photos taken with the characters in Toontown, but there is no ride in Anaheim based on them.
In Disneyland, according to Corless, the ride would be constructed on land that's currently occupied by "The Gag Factory" gift store, and also extend into an area that is currently backstage work space, mostly comprising an older building called N19 that's used for parade and other rehearsals.
It would begin construction next year. "The people who work in N19 have already been told they will be moving out in January," Corless said. "That is the building behind Toontown, behind the flat mountain range. They are going to knock it down." He estimated construction could last two or more years.
One issue that always comes up with construction in Toontown is about Disneyland's fireworks shows, because Toontown is closed during the shows and used as a staging area. It remained unclear whether that would be an issue or not.
Disneyland annual passholder Vanessa Dawson said she is excited to think about a ride based on Mickey Mouse, especially because rides for children have decreased with changes such as the elimination of a bug's land at Disney California Adventure.
Rumors had been circulating on fan websites that Disney might eliminate the Roger Rabbit ride but it will remain, Corless said, because Disney is trying to expand ride capacity in the park, not reduce it, with the coming addition of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land in summer 2019.
Dawson said she thinks the location of the new ride, as reported, would work well because the existing gift shop is "kind of hidden" and there's a lot of backstage area that designers have to work with.

Kingston Law School forges links with leading Indian institute
Posted Wednesday 7 August 2013
Kingston University's Law School has entered into a special agreement with the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar, India. A delegation from India visited the Kingston Law School on 5 August to sign a memorandum of understanding with the University's Vice-Chancellor Professor Julius Weinberg.
KIIT is one of the top five private universities in India. Its founder, international philanthropist Dr Achyuta Samanta, was part of the group that visited Kingston for the official signing. Dr Samanta also founded and funds the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, a charity housing and educating 20,000 tribal children from Odisha, one of the poorest states in India.
The institute, which grew out of KIIT, started up in 1993 as a residential school for 125 children. It is the only one of its kind in the world, providing free accommodation, food, healthcare, training and education from kindergarten right through to postgraduate level. As well as receiving an academic education, students at the institute also learn a skill or trade, placing them in a strong position to secure a job in the future. "Giving education to a deprived child is like giving sight to the blind," Dr Samanta said.
The agreement between Kingston Law School and KIIT could one day give students the opportunity to travel to India to teach young people being supported by the charity.
Head of Kingston Law School Professor Matthew Humphreys said the link would foster research collaboration between the two institutions. "In the future, it may be possible to establish programmes that allow students to achieve dual degree awards after studying at both Kingston and KIIT," he added.
Siri Harris, a senior lecturer from Kingston Law School who played a key role in cementing the relationship, visited the two Indian institutions in February. "KIIT is a most impressive university and the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences is a remarkable and inspiring enterprise," she said. "The link between Kingston University and KIIT should lead to exciting opportunities for students and staff in the future."

Theater Operators Hope Hospitality Grants Are 'Enough' To Reopen Next Year: 'This Has Been A Very Long 10 Months'
By Tara Molina December 31, 2020 at 6:54 pm
Filed Under:CARES Act, Chicago News, Patio Theater
CHICAGO (CBS) — There will be no large concerts or events this New Year's Eve, but help was on the way for Chicago's independent performance venues.
With no events since March, many of those venues have closed or are barely hanging on.
As CBS 2's Tara Molina reported Thursday evening, the owners of the venues the latter category still have to put money into the waiting game – as just keeping venues maintained is costing thousands of dollars a month. But Molina is told new grant money will help them stick around until they can open again.
The Patio Theater has been in operation since 1927 at 6008 W. Irving Park Rd. in the Portage Park neighborhood. Its centennial isn't too many years off.
"(The) Patio Theater is a treasure," said Chris Bauman.
It is a treasure that Bauman restored as a music venue, because he couldn't stand to see it go. But holding onto history in 2020…
"This has been a very long 10 months now. Closed down," Bauman said. "We've still had to pay mortgage, utilities, insurance. We've just been doing the best we can to stay afloat and be able to open our doors again."
Now, a light at the end of the tunnel.
Patio Theater is one of 100 venues awarded $10,000 through the city's Performance Venue Relief Program. And there's even more help on the horizon. Bauman was one of thousands of venue owners across the country pushing for The Save our Stages Act, just passed as part of the latest COVID-19 relief legislation signed into law, setting $15 billion dollars aside to help venues like the Patio Theater.
"It's going to allow us to get caught up," Bauman said.
But after 10 months without a penny, no way to open for many more, a question lingers. Will it be enough?
"To be determined, I think," Bauman said. "But I will tell you it's enough, for now, to get us open again."
The Small Business Administration will decide how to divvy up the Save our Stages relief money, with operators applying for those grants, like they have for SBA loans. The city grants were funded through an arts foundation and the CARES act.

North Carolina lawmakers joined Raising Wages NC — a growing coalition of labor groups, advocates, business, and faith leaders — at a legislative press conference March 19th to announce the introduction of bills in the state house and state senate that would raise the minimum wage.
Click here to watch and read coverage by WRAL.
H.B. 366 is inclusive legislation that raises the state's minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour by 2024, indexes it to the cost of living, ends the subminimum wage for persons with disabilities, phases it out for tipped workers, and repeals exemptions for agricultural and domestic workers. Rep. Susan Fisher is one of the bill's primary sponsors and spoke at the event.
Watch livestream video of the entire event.
North Carolina's minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 an hour for a decade and does not cover domestic or farm workers.
According to a report released by the nonpartisan NC Justice Center, gradually raising the minimum wage in North Carolina to $15 an hour by 2024 "would boost paychecks for almost 1.6 million working people, giving each of them a raise of $4,422 per year and a combined $7 billion for all workers across the state." Moreover, the report's authors reviewed empirical studies on job growth and employment rates and found no difference between states which have enacted minimum wage increases and those that have not. Even in cases where employers reduced hours to offset higher labor costs, the report finds that workers still came out ahead from higher hourly earnings and predicted that North Carolina "businesses will directly benefit" when 1.6 million new customers are able to spend those higher earnings on their goods and services.
The next stop for H.B. 366 is the House Finance Committee. Immediately following the press conference, Rep. Fisher and two workers who spoke led attendees to deliver signed petitions to the committee's co-chairs to ask for a hearing on the bill.

Reps. Susan Fisher, Jean Farmer-Butterfield, MaryAnn Black, and Pricey Harrison are primary sponsors of H.B. 366.

Women's Basketball Drops Fourth Straight
By fduequinox on February 17, 2019

FDU 5-9 senior guard Madelynn Comly from Littlestown, Pa., scored 14 points in the Knights' loss to Saint Francis Saturday.
By ANTHONY COVINO
A below-average season continues for the FDU women's basketball team with a 77-65 Northeast Conference loss against Saint Francis University on Saturday at the Rothman Center.
The Knights shot 25-66 (37.9 percent) from the field and 12-32 (37.5 percent) from behind the 3-point line. The Knights fall to 6-17 with a 3-9 record in the NEC. Saint Francis extended its winning streak to six games and improved to 12-12 with a 9-3 record in the NEC. Saint Francis is now tied for second in the conference.
"You see why Saint Francis is one of the best teams in the league," FDU head coach Peter Cinella said. " I thought we battled very well, we had a tough stretch where we weren't able to get the shots to fall, we couldn't get good shots. We had probably one of our best passing games with 18 assists. We also had our best three-point shooting game by hitting 12 three-pointers, shooting 38 percent from three. The most threes we had all year. It's just tough when they take 22 free throws to your five. We outplayed them in almost every area but we got beat badly from the foul line. That was really the difference."
Sophomore Forward Madison Stanley led the Knights with 16 points and 7 rebounds. Senior guard Madelynn Comly added 14 points. Freshman Lindsey Mack had 12 points on four 3's. She shot 4-8 from the field.
Saint Francis was led by Senior Guard Jess Kovatch with 19 points. Senior forward/center Courtney Zezza had 15 points and 8 rebounds. Sophomore guard/forward Haley Thomas added 10 points and 9 rebounds.
The Knights were able to keep the game close in the first half. They were down 36-33 at halftime and were playing well. In the second half, the Knights continued to make their shots as they ended the third quarter with a 50-49 lead. FDU led 54-52 with 7:23 remaining in the fourth quarter. Saint Francis went on a 14-0 run and led 66-54 with 3:17 left in the game. The Knights were unable to come back and that resulted in their fourth straight loss.
The Knights will look to snap their losing streak when they travel to play Bryant on Monday, Feb. 18.

Join some of Broadway and TV's finest on Monday, April 23rd at 8pm at the Highline Ballroom for the return of the Broadway's Babies Annual Benefit Concert to help raise awareness and money for children in need in NYC and around the world. Produced by Kate Pfaffl (War Horse) and Ben Houghton.
Also featuring additional cast members: Skie Ocasio, Monica Kapoor, Christian Sineath, Heather Curran, Ta'Nika Gibson, Nikki Stephenson, Rachel Handler, Joshua Hinck, Connor Holloway, Justin Senense, Matt WB, Aaron Cooker, Deborah Jean Templin, Allyson Carr, Monette McKay, Deepa Liegel, Jon Epcar (Mean Girls) on drums, Lee Nadel (Waitress) on bass, and Oscar Albis Rodriguez on guitar (A Great Big World).
When we often feel powerless about how we can lend a helping hand to a world in need, Kate Pfaffl and Ben Houghton have created an annual Benefit Concert Series as an avenue for New Yorkers and Broadway performers to help those who need it most by doing what they do best: singing their hearts out on stage!
Broadway's Babies, their non-profit organization, is dedicated to giving a voice to the voiceless using the arts as a bridge to bring education, compassion, and possibility to children in need around the world. The upcoming Broadway's Babies Benefit Concert is raising money to fund their current programming which include two after school arts programs in NYC at WIN (Women in Need) homeless shelter and Urban Assembly High School for Global Commerce, a conservatory program (visual art, dance, drums, and music) for two schools for poor and disabled children at Wings of Hope in Haiti which provides full-time employment to four local teachers, and a Fellowship to send music educators to the Shanti Bhavan Children's Project in India. The success of their Annual Benefit Concert will help Broadway's Babies add three more after school arts programs in NYC, expand the music program in India, start a summer arts camp in Haiti, and to develop new arts programming for children in need in South Africa starting in 2019.
Help make a difference in the world. Give these beautiful children the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty as you watch Broadway stars share their voices and hearts to shine brightly in their honor.

When the novel broke into cultural prominence in the eighteenth century, it became notorious for the gripping, immersive style of its narratives. In this book, Karin Kukkonen explores this phenomenon through the embodied style in Eliza Haywood's flamboyant amatory fiction, Charlotte Lennox's work as a cultural broker between Britain and France, Sarah Fielding's experimental novels, and Frances Burney's practice of life-writing and fiction-writing. Four female authors who are often written out of the history of the genre are here foregrounded in a critical account that emphasizes the importance of engaging readers' minds and bodies, and which invites us to revisit our understanding of the rise of the modern novel.
Kukkonen's innovative theoretical approach is based on the approach of 4E cognition, which views thinking as profoundly embodied and embedded in social and material contexts, extending into technologies and material devices (such as a pen), and enactive in the inherent links between perceiving the world and moving around in it. 4E Cognition and Eighteenth-Century Fiction investigates the eighteenth-century novel through each of these trajectories and shows how language explores its embodied dimension by increasing the descriptions of inner perception, or the bodily gestures around spoken dialogue. The embodied dimension is then related to the media ecologies of letter-writing, book learning, and theatricality. As the novel feeds off and into these social and material contexts, it comes into its own as a lifeworld technology that might not answer to standards of nineteenth-century realism but that feels 'real' because it is integrated into the lifeworld and embodied experiences.
4E cognition answers one of the central challenges to cognitive literary studies: how to integrate historical and cultural contexts into cognitive approaches.
Karin Kukkonen is Professor in Comparative Literature at the University of Oslo. She heads the interdisciplinary research priority "Literature, Cognition and Emotions" at the University of Oslo and serves on the steering committee Cognitive Futures in the Arts and Humanities.


Collagen synthesis is crucially dependent on the availability of molecular oxygen. Oxygen is incorporated into the peptide chain to form hydroxyprolyl and hydroxylysyl residues. Hutton17 found a close correlation between the rate proline hydroxylation and oxygen concentration over the range of 0.51-14.9 volumes per cent of oxygen by using a partially purified chick embryo hydroxylase. The Km value for oxygen was 2.6 volumes per cent, equaling a PO2 of about 20 mmHg. These results were supported by Myllyla18 and more recently challenged by De Jong and Kemp19 who suggested a value closer to 100 mmHg. The former estimates suggest that collagen deposition will become maximal at about 200 mmHg, and the later estimate predicts that it will not become maximal until a PO2 of 1000 mmHg is reached. Because hydroxylation of proline is one of the essential steps of collagen synthesis, its rate seems to limit the rate of collagen deposition. This means that the deposition of collagen is limited by the oxygen tension under normal circumstances, and even more so under hypoxic circumstances. By the rules of enzyme kinetics, this data gives a target PO2 for hyperbaric oxygen given in pursuit of wound healing.
The rate of collagen accumulation in healing wounds is also a function of arterial PO2 and of wound PO2 over the entire physiologic range.2'5 This agrees with observations made with ultramicro oxygen electrodes in rabbit ear chambers in which the minimal PO2 in the area of newly formed collagen fibers is of the order of 20-30 mmHg.2,4,16 The ear chamber studies have also shown, that oxygen tensions in healing tissues are heterogeneous. Areas of extremely low oxygen tensions, that are not optimal for healing, are found in wounds even in normal physiologic circumstances.
Niinikoski9 reported that the tensile strength of incisional skin wounds in rats increases as ambient oxygen concentration increases from 18 to 70 volumes per cent. When 70% oxygen was administered, the tensile strength was 35% above the control level in 10-day wounds. Systemic hypoxia suppressed the rate of gain of tensile strength and optimal conditions were passed when the oxygen treatment was extended to 100% oxygen at 1 ATA ambient pressure. At this level, however, evidence of lung oxygen toxicity was found, because the animals were exposed for a considerable period of time to this high oxygen concentration. Parallel observations in subcutaneous cellulose sponge implants demonstrated that the favourable effect of oxygen resulted from enhanced accumulation of collagen, augmented crosslinking of collagen and increased synthetic activity of wound cells as indicated by the rise in their RNA/DNA ratio. Studies of the synthesis of RNA and DNA as well as collagen by means of incorporation of specific radioactive isotopes into granulation tissue in vitro supported and further confirmed the beneficial action of oxygen.
Vihersaari8 investigated enzyme activities in the limiting steps of glycolysis, citric acid cycle and pentose phosphate cycle in subcutaneously implanted hollow cylindrical cellulose sponge implants of rats chronically breathing 12% O2, air or 55% O2 in ambient pressure. Respiratory gas tensions and concentrations of puryvate and lactate were measured in wound fluid aspirated from the central dead space of the implants. Significant portions of repair tissue existed in conditions of extremely low oxygen tension. Probably because all added oxygen was readily consumed, the wound fluid PO2 increased only slightly in hyperoxic environment. The wound PCO2 increased in parallel with the inspired PO2, probably due to enhanced production of carbon dioxide. Hyperoxia shifted the wound metabolism from anaerobic towards aerobic glycolysis. This occurred concurrently with activation of citric acid cycle. The activity of succinic dehydrogenase, a linking enzyme between citric acid cycle and electron transfer chain, also increased with increasing oxygen tension. It has to be stressed, however, that even in animals breathing 55% O2 wound fluid lactate levels remained as high as at the level of 6 mmol/l as opposed to 1 mmol/l or less in blood.
In addition to oxygen, the supply of other substrates is of vital importance for healing. If the Pasteur effect pertains, it indicates that in hyperoxic environment lactic acid is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water and the energy yield per molecule of glucose is considerably increased. Hence, the energy needs of the cell can be met by consumption of considerably less glucose. In spite of this the granulation tissue consumes increased amounts of glucose if added oxygen is available.8,21 It is possible that the cells in the vicinity of the capillary consume glucose so extensively that the supply to the most peripheral cells is limited. This imbalance could probably be corrected by increasing the mean capillary blood PO2 which would decrease the glucose utilization of cells adjacent to capillaries. Relatively more glucose would then be available for the most peripheral cells at hypoxic areas. This could explain the elevated glucose consumption in the wound at increased oxygen supply. This hypothesis was later supported by the finding of Silver who reported with a use glucose electrodes that intercapillary glucose gradients in the rabbit ear chamber tissue partially level off under hyperoxic conditions (personal communication).

Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly--not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. Don't lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.... In the same way, you younger men must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, serve each other in humility, for "God opposes the proud but favors the humble."
Willingly care for the people under our leadership. Seek what is best for them and help them grow and succeed.
Don't lead because of what we can get out of it, but because we are eager to serve God.
Don't use a position of power and authority to smack people down or show them who is boss.
Lead others by setting a good example for them.
Accept the authority of those we are under.
Serve each other in humility.
Continue to apply these principles in my life and every area I lead, at home with my wife and children, at work, and at church.
Lord, thank you for teaching us throughout Scripture all these principles that lead to abundant life. Thank you for the servant leadership example that Jesus perfectly modeled for us, and for Peter, who experienced Jesus' leadership first-hand and was able to encourage and challenge the Church to live out this leadership example You set for us. Please help me to lead well. Give me strength to do what is right, to lift people up and lead them like You, my Good Shepherd! I love you.


After a 45 minute wait in line at my local Walmart store in Pico Rivera, CA, It was finally my turn to step to the young lady to return an item. As I explained my return she had a "i dont care" type of attitude and didnt say much and threw my money on the counter and said "NEEEXT" I was annoyed by her attitude and asked her name since she didnt have a name tag. She said im not going to give it to you, why do you need it? I looked around to see if I caould find another associate to give me her name but all of the other workers pretended nothing was happening. I asked this one lady for the Supervisor and she said she was not there, So I asked for the persone in charge at that moment and the rude girl that had helped me came to me and said "that would be me". I was so upset that no one was able to help me.
I went back a few days later to see if I could speak to the Supervisor and all I could get from her was "I will def take care of that" she also gave me her name, "Sandra".
Other than that annoying experience, Walmart has 20 cashier stations but they only open 3-4, the lines are horribly long and Cashiers are so darn slow. OMG! specially when they make an error and need to wait for the shift lead to use her code and key...on boy! I dont know how Walmart does it...So rude and annoying. Its been a year I dont shop at Walmart. Its not worth my time.
Review #235035 is a subjective opinion of PissedConsumer235035.
Ive always said that I think if people want to shop at walmart they must work there for a week out of their life. its ***!
you have NO idea. We get rude customers all day, customers who try and scam you and when you tell them no give you an EXTREMLY hard time. Its ridiculous. Then you have managment, coming up w.
Nothing is consistent and going day to day not knowing what the heck could happen is stressful. Also We dont have to tell you our names.
They're not obligated to tell you there names. You got medicore service at a wallmart.
STOP THE *** PRESSES. Get over it.
This is the WalMart we all know and love. Their customer service is now a joke and since they seem to never have enough checkout lanes open, I simply stopped going there and go instead to Meijer, etc. I do not need to save a few bucks if I have to put up with WalMart's attitude.

What happens in CA …
California may have to ask the federal government for a $7 billion loan by the end of the month just to pay for basic services like police and firefighting, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger warned last Thursday. New York City readers may have shuddered, as the request brings back memories of the city's own 1970s fiscal crisis, when creditors shut off the spigot. Could New York City be next in line after California (and maybe Massachusetts) for the same reason?
California is in trouble now because it relies on short-term borrowing to meet its current operational needs. That is: the state borrows for a few months based on the anticipation, borne out by history, that tax collections are higher at some times of the year than at others. It pays off the debt once those higher tax collections come in.
There is nothing particicularly fiscally imprudent about such borrowing. It is not what got New York City into trouble in 1975. Back then, the city borrowed long-term to meet short-term needs, a no-no.
Today, New York has the right to borrow short-term to meet its short-term cash flows needs. But the city has not done so in four years, and does not expect to need to do so anytime soon.
This news is relieving.
But New York is still suffering now because it has to pay higher interest rates on a type of long-term borrowing that carries short-term interest rates. Additionally, the city, though it has a higher credit rating than California, could suffer further if investor worries over California infect other municipal issuers. Such worry could make it harder and more expensive for cities and state to issue new long-term bonds in the coming months.
And in one long-term way, New York is at a disadvantage. The city's per-capita debt burden of nearly $7,000 dwarves California's less-than-$2,000 figure.

I thought a line 100% line height can control the text and inline-block elements vertically align center, but if you pay a specify attention to those icon, they are a little above the center.

A: "Why inline-block can not be vertically aligned?"
The point of in-line is to have elements be propagated to the screen from left-to-right; so, horizontally.
If you want it vertically, don't use elements styled with in-line because the elements naturally propagate from top to bottom; so, vertically.

A: vertical-align:middle seems to be what you are after but you need to apply it to the pseudo-elements too.

.header {

University students Haneen Hossam and Mawada al-Adham were sentenced along with three men last July to two years in prison and fined $19,000 (£14,000) each. The jail sentences were the first of several against women social media influencers accused of having disturbed the moral fabric of Egyptian society.
Ghana's government has announced the date for the funeral of former President Jerry Rawlings. The former president will lie in state for public viewing from 24 to 26 January according to the communique. The burial is scheduled to take place on 27 January. The former president died in mid-November at the age of 73 after being admitted to a hospital in Accra.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has used a Syrian airline under US sanctions to transport humanitarian aid to Libya. The WHO has posted a photograph of a Cham Wings aircraft it had used to ferry 16 tonnes of medicines and supplies from its warehouses in Dubai to Libya's second city Benghazi. The organisation's representative in Libya Elizabeth Hoff used to be its envoy to Syria for seven years from 2012. The Syrian private carrier was placed under US sanctions in 2016 for reportedly carrying weapons and foreign fighters to support President Bashar al-Assad's troops against rebels.

Q: How to avoid index out of range error with current implementation? I've been given a list of integers called nums, and am trying to remove all occurrences of the value (val). I'm trying to see where val matches an index of nums and am trying to remove it from the list. However, I keep getting a "list index out of range" error. I'm guessing it is because as I am popping the element of nums that matches val, it shrinks the list so it goes out of range. Is it not possible to remove all occurrences of value in this way?
nums = [3,2,2,3]
val = 2
for i in range(len(nums)):
    if val == nums[i]:
        nums.pop(i)
print(nums)

A: You should not try to remove elements from the list as you're iterating over it, as the memory is shifting as you're accessing it.
Instead, you should create a new list:
nums = [3,2,2,3]
val = 2
print([num for num in nums if val != num]) # Prints [3, 3]

A: use remove method to remove vlaues from list
nums = [3,2,2,3]
val = 2
l = list(nums)#creating new list
for v in l:
    if v == val:
        nums.remove(val)#removing values

print(nums)

output:
$ python3 file.py
[3, 3]


Resistors – These are one of the most significant components of a PCB. These small electronic devices produce crucial amount of voltage by the transmission of electrical currents. Test the resistors by isolating them so the outcome doesn't get skewed by other elements on the board. An analogue meter or digital multimeter can be used to evaluate the results. Just connect the leads from multimeter to the resistor in order to perform the test. If you find the result to be very high, there might be an issue with the open resistor. Other elements on the board typically cause the reading to be decreased. So if there's a high value, call professional PCB Design Services China.
Capacitors – These are essential electronic devices to store energy in the form of an electrostatic field. Capacitors feature an insulating material positioned between the conductive plates. While testing capacitor, you need to remove an end of the element from the board. You must ensure that the power supply of DC voltage must match the range of the component to avoid overloading of the device. As voltage is applied to the PCB, the following outcome may be experienced.
To check whether or not the capacitor has shorted, you need to test if the voltage has been reflected on meter reading.
To test whether or not the component is leaking, you may see a high jump and then a low drop on meter reading.
In case, you don't see any jump in the meter reading as the voltage is applied, the capacitor might be open. The same happens even when the capacitance is very low that the meter can't register it.
Diodes – These are electric devices to transmit current in any particular direction while blocking the same in other direction. They consist of semi-conductive material between the terminals. These are extremely sensitive components and thus you must be very careful while checking them. It's highly recommended that you consult a professional specialized in PCB Assembly China before performing a test on this electrical equipment. To check the diode, you need to disconnect one end of it from the board. You may make use of an analogue or a digital meter to find red and black meter probes. Once you locate the probes, now connect black probe to cathode and red one to the anode. Finally set the meter somewhere between 1 and 10 ohms. And here are the outcomes you can get if there's an issue with the diode.
To test whether or not the diode is forward biased, you may see some sort of resistance in the meter reading.
To locate a leaking diode, you can expect to see two readings in the meter.

Q: xargs and git issues in windows powershell I've been using the following command to delete any merged git branches:
git branch --merged | grep -v "\*" | grep -v "master" | grep -v "staging" | xargs -n 1 git branch -d
grep and xargs both being packaged with git for windows. Recently moved computers and decided to switch to powershell (from windows cmd) adn this no longer works as expected. Instead of deleting the branch I get (note the question mark at the end):
error: branch '<branch-name>?' not found.
The strange thing as that changing the command to the following prints without questionmarks:
git branch --merged | grep -v "\*" | grep -v "master" | grep -v "staging" | xargs -n 1 echo
and manually deleting the branch using git branch -d also works without an issue. I'm curious where the question mark is coming from and how to get rid of it.

A: Your question sounds like you are new to PowerShell, and that is fine, but you should spend some time learning it first to avoid confusion, misunderstanding, mistakes, bad assumptions, unneeded errors, etc. Youtube has many videos to learn from.
PowerShell has modules for Git that you can use from PowerShell consolehost, the PowerShell ISE, and VSCode. Powershell is hosted on GitHub.
There are modules you can download and install for use with git/Github.

There are several ways to run external commands. The most common one is:

5. The Call Operator
Why: Used to treat a string as a SINGLE command. Useful for dealing
with spaces.
In PowerShell V2.0, if you are running 7z.exe (7-Zip.exe) or another
command that starts with a number, you have to use the command
invocation operator &.
The PowerShell V3.0 parser do it now smarter, in this case, you don't
need the & anymore.
Details: Runs a command, script, or script block. The call operator,
also known as the "invocation operator," lets you run commands that
are stored in variables and represented by strings. Because the call
operator does not parse the command, it cannot interpret command
parameters

# Example:

& 'C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe' "c:\videos\my home video.avi" /fullscreen

Things can get tricky when an external command has a lot of parameters
or there are spaces in the arguments or paths!
With spaces you have to nest Quotation marks and the result it is not always clear!
In this case it is better to separate everything like so:

$CMD = 'SuperApp.exe'
$arg1 = 'filename1'
$arg2 = '-someswitch'
$arg3 = 'C:\documents and settings\user\desktop\some other file.txt'
$arg4 = '-yetanotherswitch'

& $CMD $arg1 $arg2 $arg3 $arg4

# or same like that:

$AllArgs = @('filename1', '-someswitch', 'C:\documents and settings\user\desktop\some other file.txt', '-yetanotherswitch')

& 'SuperApp.exe' $AllArgs


Mar.10 (GMM) Renault has defended the legality of its 2018 car's exhaust layout.
At the rear of the yellow and black car, the engine exhaust is pointed upwards towards the rear wing, which has been reinforced with heat resistant material.
And after running, the rear wing shows signs of heat charring, indicating that Renault is benefitting from outlawed exhaust 'blowing'.
But technical boss Nick Chester said: "I have not heard any complaints.
"You can arrange the exhaust in various ways and we have just put it closer to the top of the bodywork.
"On most of the cars, the exhaust gas flow is directed more or less towards the wing, which is why we've developed a solution to make the most of the opportunities that the regulations allow.
"If the exhaust pipe is located where it is allowed to be, I don't see the problem," he added.

Desde 2021, Ecuador ha sufrido una crisis de seguridad producto de conflictos entre organizaciones criminales con conexiones al narcotráfico. Los conflictos iniciaron luego del asesinato de Jorge Luis Zambrano, líder de la banda criminal Los Choneros, considerada una de las más antiguas y peligrosas del país. Zambrano fue asesinado el 28 de diciembre de 2020 y su muerte llevó a que las agrupaciones criminales conocidas como Los Chone Killers, Los Lobos, Los Pipos y Los Tiguerones, que funcionaban como subestructuras de Los Choneros, se separaran de la banda e iniciaran una guerra contra sus antiguos líderes por el control de los centros carcelarios del país y del tráfico de drogas a través de una serie de masacres y otros hechos delictivos.

La ola de violencia ha generado un marcado despunte en el número de asesinatos en el país. En 2021, la tasa de homicidios intencionales alcanzó el 14,04 por cada 100000 personas (la mayor desde 2011), en comparación con una tasa de 7,8 en 2020. Estas cifras han continuado aumentando en 2022. La zona del país más violenta es la que aglutina a los cantones de Guayaquil, Durán y Samborondón. La misma vio 53 asesinatos entre enero y febrero de 2021 y 162 en el mismo periodo de 2022.

El foco de la violencia se ha desarrollado dentro de los centros carcelarios del país, con hechos como la Masacre carcelaria del 23 de febrero o la Masacre de la Penitenciaría de Guayaquil del 28 de septiembre, ambas ocurridas en 2021 y la segunda considerada la quinta masacre carcelaria más sangrienta en la historia de América Latina. En total, 503 reos fueron asesinados en el país solo durante 2021. Sin embargo, la ola de violencia también se ha manifestado fuera de las cárceles. Esto se ha visto reflejado en la percepción ciudadana, como mostró una encuesta realizada por la firma Click Research en octubre de 2021 que señaló que la delincuencia era considerada por la ciudadanía como el mayor problema que atravesaba el país.

CES: GIROPTIC announces partnership with YouTube's new 360° platform
By Trista Bridges Published on 7 January 2015 at 19 h 58 min
GIROPTIC, the first true 360° camera designed to see the world "Up, Down and All Around" just announced at CES that they would be entering into an exclusive partnership with Youtube to be the first camera compatible with the video-sharing giants' new support of 360°, spherical format.
Youtube's new 360° format is expected to be a breakthrough in interms of video creation and sharing. Their new platform will enable users to shoot a 360° video, upload it (obviously via YouTube), and allow users to playback and interact with the videos they've created on their PC, mac, or mobile device.
Partnering with GIROPTIC will start YouTube's venture into 360° video on a super high-quality path. GIROPTIC, which is set to be launched in the next couple months, is already making a name for itself in the video-capture space, with a design that makes it a lot more versatile that competitors such as GoPro. GIROPTIC is equipped with 185 degree fish-eye lenses that are automatically merged in real-time into one stunning image through a unique process. This enable the 360cam to produce breath-taking views from all around in high-definition.
Lille-based GIROPTIC has quickly gained momentum since its 45-day, $1.4 million Kickstarter campaign. In my discussion yesterday with CEO & co-founder Richard Ollier, he stressed the positive impact this partnership will have for his company. While the partnership was have been a long-time coming, he strongly believes that by marrying YouTube's massive reach and ubiquitous platform with GIROPTIC's technical and design strength, everyone, not just professionals, will now be able to create, publish and share videos in 360°. In addition, being such an integral part of a social platform will enable GIROPTIC to, as stresed by Ollier, "transform our users into ambassadors."
As mentioned, GIROPTIC will be shipping soon and you can still pre-order your own 360cam. Although it is only available via internet at the moment, this will soon change as the team is working several distribution deals with major retailers around the globe.

Naomi Jacob was a celebrated novelist who also wrote a series of autobiographical works.
Her paternal grandfather was a Jewish tailor who had escaped the pogroms of Western Prussia and settled in England. Her maternal grandfather was the two-time mayor of Ripon in Yorkshire, England.
She loved the theatre and became a character actress on stage and in film, notably opposite John Geilgud in The Ringer (1936). She also associated with the Du Mauriers, Henry Irving, Marie Lloyd and Sarah Bernhardt. At 18 she became secretary, and lover, of music hall star Marguerite Broadfoote.
Naomi Jacob published her first novel, Jacob Usher in 1925. It became a bestseller.
In 1928 she appeared for the defence of Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness, and developed a friendship with Hall and her companion Una Troubridge.
After suffering with tuberculosis, in 1930 she left England for Italy, where she lived for most of the rest of her life.
In 1935 Naomi Jacob was awarded the Eichelberger International Humane Award, for outstanding achievement in the field of humane endeavour, for her novel Honour Come Back. She was forced to reject the award when she discovered that a previous recipient had been Adolf Hitler.
In 1940, she was evacuated back to England when Italy entered the Second World War. There, she joined the Entertainments National Service Association, becoming famous for her flamboyant appearance— crew cut hair, and wearing a monocle and First World War Women's Legion uniform.
During the 1960s she was regularly heard on radio, in particular on the BBC's Woman's Hour.
Today, Naomi Jacob is probably best-remembered for her seven-novel Gollantz saga. This follows several generations of a Jewish family, tracing their path from Vienna in the early nineteenth century to England in the twentieth century.
