FCA's Olivier François outlines Fiat's flat-pack future.
On the basis of his recent outpourings, I rather doubt whether FCA's Olivier François has ever been to an IKEA retail outlet. After all, visiting one of their stores is a little like dentistry. Numbingly unpleasant but occasionally necessary. At such times I'm compelled to go, I try to plan my expeditions in military fashion. Go when its quiet, get in, get the target and get the hell out.

Today, we examine rumours in the mainstream car industry that if accurate, could precipitate something quite unusual. Genuine surprise.
Many of Lotus' apologists incline towards the view that Dany Bahar had the right basic idea, but was thwarted by DRB-HICOM's lack of imagination. Unsurprisingly then, their view on Jean-Marc Gales appointment is of a similarly reactionary hue. Gales made a mess of PSA they contend, and will do likewise at Hethel. Leaving aside the steaming lake of ordure their spiritual leader left behind at Lotus for a moment, the question is worth considering. Is Gales the right man?

Even in Arizona mold is more common than you think. According to a University of Arizona study, 100 percent of homes in the U.S. have mold. Mold is found in 88 percent of window sills, in 83 percent of refrigerators, in 83 percent of the areas below the kitchen sink, in 82 percent of air vents and on 50 percent of walls above the shower.
Thanks to all this mold in our homes, 37 million Americans have chronic sinus infections – nearly all due to mold spores, according to a 1999 study by the Mayo Clinic. People with asthma and/or respiratory issues have a high rate of side effects from mold such as wheezing, irritated glands, trouble breathing, stuffy nose or itchy throat. Other side effects of exposure to mold can include arthritic-like aches, memory loss, nausea, loss of balance, depression and fatigue.
The best way to treat the allergies and health symptoms caused by mold is to get rid of mold altogether.
There are several eco-friendly, green, biodegradable mold removal products on the market. Three of the most popular are MoldOff, MoldZyme and Vital Oxide. These products are all safe for use around pets and kids and generally won't harm the surface being treated.

SSEN successfully completes Pentland Firth East cable replacement project
By Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks / Community, Distribution, Ready for Winter / 06 November 2020
A project to replace one of the two submarine electricity distribution cables connecting Orkney to mainland Scotland is now complete, ensuring strengthened resilience of electricity supply to the islands ahead of winter.
Teams from Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) connected the new 37km subsea cable to the main electricity network on Thursday 5 November to ensure a robust and reliable supply of electricity to homes and businesses across the isles.
The £30 million cable replacement project involved significant offshore works using specialist marine vessels – the Normand Clipper and Global Symphony – working with principal contractor, Global Offshore, to successfully install and bury the 33 kilovolt (kV) cable between Murkle Bay, near Thurso and Rackwick Bay on the island of Hoy.
Working in partnership with Aviemore-based McGowan Environmental Engineering Ltd, the installation of the new subsea cable also allowed for the removal of approximately 7km of existing overhead power lines in Rackwick, Hoy, which have now been replaced by underground cable. The existing overhead line will be dismantled in the coming weeks.
Local firms Pentland Ferries and storage and distribution specialists McAdie and Reeve played a key role in the successful delivery of the land cable works, with a bulk cargo vessel chartered to deliver 5,000 tonnes of high specification sand to Lyness harbour, and almost 30 large items of equipment and vehicles shipped from Gills Bay to Lyness under specialist charter on Pentland Ferries' MV Pentalina.
Mark Rough, Director of Customer Operations at SSEN, said:
"The Pentland Firth East project is one of the biggest standalone projects we've completed in the north of Scotland and we'd like to thank our contract partners, archaeological and ecological experts, engineering teams and local suppliers for their professionalism and dedication to ensure the successful delivery of the subsea cable installation and land-based works on Hoy.
"Ensuring a safe, secure and reliable supply of electricity to our customers is our main priority at SSEN. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank the local community for their ongoing support as we worked to deliver this significant investment which will strengthen resilience of supplies to the Orkney Islands for years to come."
James Stockan, Leader of Orkney Islands Council, said:
"The new cable will secure Orkney's electricity supply well into the future and I am delighted this crucially important work has been completed successfully.
"In addition, I am pleased that the onshore work at Rackwick and beyond had been carried out to a very high standard in an area renowned for its wildlife and natural beauty – a challenging task undertaken with great skill and sensitivity."
SSEN is undertaking a programme of investment to replace around 90km of submarine cables connecting Scotland's island communities by 2023 – a fifth of the total number currently in operation.
The Pentland Firth East cable was identified for replacement after routine inspections found it was coming to the end of its operational life. In July 2019, SSEN successfully completed repairs to the cable in Rackwick Bay following a cable fault. While customer power supplies were not impacted by this fault, a long-term solution was required to maintain a safe, secure and reliable power supply to homes and businesses in Orkney.

From Buster Keaton To Shirley MacLaine: The TCM Classic Film Festival
Events Exclusive Featured Journal March 31, 2015
I'm still recovering from the whirlwind that is the TCM Classic Film Festival. What a glorious event, attended by the most enthusiastic moviegoers in the world, run by a friendly staff, and filled to the brim with screenings, panels, interviews, and more. Because TCM stalwart Robert Osborne was recovering from a minor medical procedure and Ben Mankiewicz can't be in two places at once, I had even more hosting duties than usual. My personal highlights were chatting with Christopher Plummer before a screening of The Man Who Would Be King, introducing a new restoration of Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill, Jr. with Carl Davis debuting his new orchestral score, and interviewing Shirley MacLaine—twice.
It was equally enjoyable for me to introduce films I care about to such a receptive audience, including Walt Disney's underappreciated So Dear to My Heart (1949), John Ford's little-seen Airmail (1932), Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight also known as Falstaff (1965).
I even treated myself to an extracurricular screening on Friday afternoon: the Museum of Modern Art's new 35mm print of Don't Bet on Women (1931), a saucy pre-Code comedy starring Edmund Lowe, Jeanette MacDonald, and Una Merkel. What fun!
The only time I felt imperiled all weekend was when I had to end a brief conversation with Shirley MacLaine before a screening of The Apartment on Saturday. The audience didn't want to let her go! Fortunately, we had more than an hour to talk the next day at Club TCM (in the historic Blossom Room at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel). Never shy, Shirley knew what people wanted to hear and gave it to them in spades: candid opinions, canny observations, and plenty of "dish." (She names Dean Martin as the funniest man she ever met, and spent three years in an affair with Robert Mitchum, trying to figure out the elusive actor.)
Christopher Plummer regaled the crowd at the Egyptian Theatre with his impressions of director John Huston and costar Sean Connery, who rescued Plummer's job on The Man Who Would Be King by telling the backers that if they cut his role as Rudyard Kipling, Connery would not be there the next day! I also asked Plummer to share an arcane but interesting fact that he told me the first time we met: his cousin was the great character actor Nigel Bruce, although (sadly) they never met.
On Saturday evening I interviewed longtime studio executive Sherry Lansing about a movie that left a deep impression on her when she first saw it as a teenager and still makes her cry today: Imitation of Life (1959). But as we were taking our seats I
realized I shouldn't miss the opportunity to ask her about working as an actress with Howard Hawks on the John Wayne movie Rio Lobo (1970), early in her career. Sherry obliged with several
amusing—and insightful—anecdotes. She recalls that when Hawks didn't get his way with the studio he suddenly developed a pain in his leg and wasn't able to work—for three successive days. It was then, she says, that she learned who really had the power in Hollywood.
With scores of screenings and special guests taking place simultaneously, it wasn't possible to take in all the films or question-and-answer sessions I would have liked to see…but that's what makes the TCM Festival an embarrassment of riches. I feel very fortunate to be a part of it.
Leonard Maltin

Just wanted to share my latest angel painting. I did this one recently for my lovely British friend Lesley. She has been working with an angel practitioner who told her the name of her guardian angel: Andele.
Lesley told me she's been in touch with Andele, but her primary "clair" sense is feeling, and she hasn't had any visual experiences of her angel. She said she would like that very much, since she feels it will help her develop a deeper connection.
So I tuned in to Lesley and asked Andele to show herself in a form that would be understandable to us humans! 🙂 Very quickly, she did: a beautiful female angel grasping a torch, with long flowing golden hair and a "follow-me-and-let's-have-some-fun" expression!
When I found this out shortly before our rendezvous, I quickly did a little guardian angel painting for her as a birthday gift. I thought at first that the second figure was another angel, but to my surprise it morphed into this amused lion-faced spirit guide.
The holidays are not as far off as they seem. I'm taking orders now for custom guardian angel paintings to be delivered by or before mid December. Reply for details!
I first started being aware of angels when I started doing chakra energy scans for people. They often show up for me in people's chakras.
Lately I've been doing guardian angel art readings, but this latest is a bit of a variation. I love doing portraits of children, and decided for this one to tune in to Lilah's guardian angel and include the angel, too.
In this case, looks like Archangel Michael also has her back!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed painting it.

trusted tablets Whether it is true or not I can't say, but I'm told someone asked Mozart once what his favorite part of music was.
generic viagra without a doctor prescription "The rests," he replied.
While his answer may seem flip, I believe he was deadly serious. Imagine music with no spaces between the notes. It wouldn't be music at all, would it? Just a noisy cacophany.
buy now So often we try to pack so much in that our lives become a jarring jumble, like music minus the rests. It's good to remember that everything won't come crashing to a halt just because we paused to breathe.
In fact, allowing ourselves time to rest often has quite the opposite effect!
Do they really look like beautiful humans with halos? Well, I think they are really simply pure, loving energy. But it's easier for many people to relate to them when they appear in human form. That's probably why they have come through that way to me and to many other artists throughout history.
I have a technique for connecting with spiritual energies that I thought for years was just doodling. I just open my mind to the universe and allow what wants to come through to appear on the paper. Often it's an angel.
Last spring I caught that stomach flu that was going around. Needless to say I felt miserable! One day I just had to stay in bed. But at one point I sat up and invited a drawing to come in, and this is what came through. A healing angel!
When you are feeling sick, or depressed, or otherwise unwell, I want you to know that you do have angels surrounding you.
They do exist. They are there for you, wherever you are and whatever may be happening to you. All you have to do is call on them. They will help you on some level, I guarantee it!

The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) has reiterated Kenyans should not be forced to register for the Huduma Namba.
The Commission clarified every citizen has a right to decide whether or not they want their data or information captured in the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS).

In a tweet shared on Wednesday, April 10, the human rights watchdog further reminded Kenyans they will not be forced to provide their DNA or GPS information should they choose to participate in the biometric registration and that they will not be denied government services too.
"It is 10 days since the NIIMS case ruling. Remember: You can choose not to participate in the NIIMS roll out; you can choose not to provide your DNA or GPS information.
You won't be denied govt services for not having a Huduma Namba; your information would not be shared with national or foreign organisation," the Commission tweeted.
The clarification came after Immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalangwa warned those who will not register will not be able to acquire a pass port and other services from the department.
The KHRC filed a case seeking to stop the process on grounds that it lacked proper legislation on data protection.
A three-judge bench nevertheless said the process would proceed as planned pending a final decision that would be issued on Friday, April 5.
The biometric registration was officially launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta, ODM party leader Raila Odinga and other senior Opposition leaders on Tuesday, April 2, in different parts of the country.
The Huduma Namba registration is meant to capture biometric data of all Kenyans and foreigners living in the country on the NIIMS, a system that was developed by the national government to store and manage population data.

The Benefits Of Recess Are Proven By Science -- So Why Are Teachers Taking It Away?
Originally published on Motherly.
By Annamarya Scaccia
When it comes to classroom discipline, each school has its own set of rules—but a universally popular response to misbehavior is to prohibit kids from participating in recess.
The problem is that a large body of research has shown recess benefits kids' mental and physical health. So when that time to play and enjoy fresh air is stripped away as a disciplinary tactic, the consequences may be worse than intended.
Although now on the decline, withholding recess was once common practice in schools across the country. School administrators have, in the past, argued that taking away free-play time is an effective way of curbing poor behavior among students. A 2010 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation survey found 77 percent of principals reported withholding recess as punishment. That's a slight decrease from the results of a 2006 study published in the Journal of School Health, which discovered that more than 81 percent of school districts adopted such a no-recess policy.
Increasingly, though, school officials are recognizing that taking away recess does more harm than good for a child's physical, emotional and behavioral health. As a result, many districts are now getting rid of the practice.
"That physical activity and unstructured play, those things are not luxuries for kids," says Sara Zimmerman, technical-assistance director of Safe Routes to School National Partnership, in an interview with Education Week. "That's a key part of how kids learn and how they grow."
Related: 10 important reasons kindergarteners need more play
In a 2012 position paper, the American Academy of Pediatrics stated that safe, supervised recess time benefits a student's cognitive, social, emotional and physical development by giving them a break from the "concentrated, academic challenges in the classroom." Experts from the AAP continued at the time, "Recess is unique from, and a complement to, physical education—not a substitute for it."
Multiple studies have shown that, when kids have at least 20 minutes of recess—the recommended time from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—they become more attentive and productive in class. Research has also proven play can help children develop communication skills, such as problem-solving and cooperation. It's also shown to help with coping skills, such as self-control and determination.
In fact, a 2014 University of Colorado-Boulder study published in Frontiers in Psychology discovered 6-year-old students who engaged in free play and other unstructured activities more often had stronger levels of executive functioning, such as time management and decision-making skills.
"Executive function is extremely important for children. It helps them in all kinds of ways throughout their daily lives, from flexibly switching between different activities rather than getting stuck on one thing, to stopping themselves from yelling when angry, to delaying gratification," the study's senior author Yuko Munakata, a psychology and neuroscience professor at CU-Boulder, says in the findings. "Executive function during childhood also predicts important outcomes, like academic performance, health, wealth and criminality, years and even decades later."
Lawmakers have even started to recognize the necessity of recess for students. As of 2015, at least 11 states have passed laws prohibiting schools from withholding recess as a form of discipline, according to Education Week. And this past fall, lawmakers in Massachusetts began to weigh a bill that would make 20 minutes of recess mandatory in schools.
There's no denying that recess plays a crucial role in a kid's life. Let's just hope more schools realize that taking it away is more detrimental than anything.

Allyson Felix and Usain Bolt Win IAAF Athlete of the Year Awards
Olympic gold medallists Usain Bolt and Allyson Felix have won the male and female athlete of the year awards. Both athletes were honored by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) at a ceremony in Barcelona on Saturday.

American Felix finished first in the women's 200m and was also part of the winning 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams to become the first woman since 1988 to win three gold medals at a single Games.
The USA sprint quartet collected the female performance of the year title as they set a new world record in taking the gold medal, beating a time that had been set by an East German team in 1985.
Kenyan David Rudisha won male performance of the year for hiswinning run in the 800m in London, when he also set a world record.
Trinidad and Tobago's javelin gold medallist Keshorn Walcott and 100m sprinter Anthonique Strachan of Bahamas, who won gold at the 2012 World Junior Championship, were named as the rising stars of 2012.
Bolt, who also helped Jamaica to gold in the 4x100m relay, clinched the male athlete of the year award for the fourth time in five years after previous successes in 2008, 2009 and 2011.

A local hardware store is a central place for contractors and residents to get the help they need when buying materials or dissecting a problem that needs a solution. There are two ways to start a hardware store: as an independent store or as a franchise. Explore the options to find the best solution for you.
An independent hardware store can control startup costs. An independent store might need between $50,000 to $75,000 to get started where a franchise might require anywhere from $275,000 to $1.6 million. However, a franchise has a proven brand and system to work a community and make money.
As an independent, you will need to develop relationships with distributors and might not get as favorable wholesale pricing because you don't have the volume that a franchise contract does. So, while you may require more in franchise costs with higher requirements in inventory and location size, a franchise may be the best way to go. Consider the market and choose the best option for you.
A hardware store has a lot of components to the business that require detail-oriented planning. Writing a business plan helps organize the direction of the hardware store. Detail the mission of the hardware store and how you plan to market to the community. Draft a potential online presence and explain how you will use it for online sales and shipping.
Create a budget that reviews the size of the potential location along with a map of the store including the type of inventory you plan to maintain. The map shows the layout, which is important to entice consumers to buy other things while in the store. Create a marketing plan and establish a preliminary projected budget based on expected startup costs, expenses and revenues. Startup costs include purchasing inventory to have on hand.
Whether you are starting an independent store or a franchise, consider the overall budget and where the money is coming from. If you don't have access to the required budget, you need an investor or a small business loan. Investors may be family and friends or a local angel investor.
Make an appointment to discuss your business plan with a counselor at the local Small Business Administration office. Counselors are there to review the plan and ensure it is ready to present to lenders; the SBA has partner lenders that write small business loans in nearly every city. When the counselor feels you are ready to present the plan, they can introduce you to local bank partners.
Register the business with the secretary of state and obtain a tax identification number from the IRS. With these, open merchant accounts and bank accounts and establish revolving lines of credit with hardware distributors where possible. Check with local state and city franchise tax boards regarding local permits.
You also need to obtain a commercial insurance policy that covers the hardware store inventory against loss and any liability from customers such as trip and fall claims. Workers' compensation insurance is required for any business that has employees.
The many ways to market your store include mailers, websites, social media ads and newspaper ads. You can establish a presence with DIY groups in your area and offer to host workshops or kids' programs. Monitor which type of marketing works best for you and continue to work those channels.
Train staff on products and techniques so they are a resource when people come in to shop and troubleshoot a problem. If the community knows you are there to help, your reputation will grow.

In the modern era, we have all grown accustomed to English success at the Five Nations and Six Nations tournaments. However, there have been two notable occasions when John Bull failed to deliver a single point at the Five Nations and five times when England failed to record a solitary point in their three Home Nations skirmishes. Remarkably, each time that England were whitewashed, they lost first of all to Wales. Here is a reminder of those painful years!
One try from Tot Robinson was all that England had to show from their three outings. Even then, his team were demolished by Wales who recorded six tries in their triumph.
Two further tries from Tot Robinson failed to stop England finishing again with 'nul points'. They ran Ireland close, but were well beaten in the other two contests.
Tries from Denys Dobson in the first and last matches were scant consolation, as England maintained their bizarre sequence of one whitewash every other year.
The Calcutta Cup match was effectively a wooden spoon 'play-off'. In the event, hapless England had no answer to tries from Simson and Stronach for Scotland.
England conceded six tries yet again against Wales, four tries against the Irish, and two against the Scots. At least this was to be their last whitewash for 65 years!
This tournament remained incomplete, but the 'final table' does not disguise England's obvious humiliation. They were a distant second in three of their four fixtures.
England were comprehensively dismantled in all matches, with the exception of a close contest with Ireland. England have however never been whitewashed since 1976.

Role models inspire Kids to feel 'cool and confident' and wear their specs with pride
CHILDREN are more confident than their parents were when it comes to wearing glasses because they feel 'happy', 'cool' and 'clever'.
Research by Specsavers [1] a decade ago revealed that wearing glasses often provoked bullying, however a new study [2] by the high street opticians reveals a decline in name-calling and an increase in self-assurance among younger specs wearers.
One in five parents said they felt self-conscious wearing glasses as a child because they were bullied or picked on, compared to 77% of children aged five to 16 who said they are confident wearing glasses because they make them feel happy (34%), cool (32%) and clever (29%).
Proving that glasses are now viewed as a must-have accessory, more than a third of children (34%) who don't currently wear them said that they would also feel cool if they were prescribed specs.
Bianca Sarre, Specsavers style advisor, says: 'Our research shows just how much the times have changed and it's wonderful that, instead of feeling self-conscious or at worst, bullied, children are now happy to wear their specs and wear them with pride. Many people now see their glasses as a fashion accessory and an extension of their style, and for children in particular, there are many glasses-wearing role models for them to look up to, which may have been less the case when their parents were young.'
The most popular specs-wearing heroes for children, according to the Specsavers study, are Harry Potter (57%) and Superman (41%). Heartwarmingly, 45% of children also said that their mum or dad were their biggest hero who wears glasses.
Their heroes were selected because their glasses made them look cool (40%) and never made things difficult for them (32%). As a result, almost a third (31%) of children say that these people or characters make them feel more confident about wearing their own specs.
Bianca adds: 'It's very encouraging that children feel more confident in their glasses than in the past, but unfortunately name-calling does still exist, albeit to a lesser extent. Our study shows that shockingly, nearly half (48%) of parents were called names as a child because they wore glasses, compared to just over a quarter of children (27%) now. This could account for why 44% of parents say that they worry about their child wearing glasses.'
Specs-wearing dads worry slightly more than mums (46% v 43%), possibly because 52% of them were called names as a child compared to 45% of mums. It is a gender split which is still reflected among children today, with 33% of boys saying that they have been called names because of their glasses compared to 21% of girls.
But things have greatly improved since Specsavers' initial survey in 2009 when almost 50% of spec-swearing children were called names in the playground and one in five skipped school because they were bullied about their glasses. Almost a quarter of children said then that having to wear glasses to school made them feel sad while 60% didn't think glasses were cool.
Bianca comments: 'While it is upsetting that the usual nicknames, such as ''four eyes'' and ''geek'' still exists for those who are picked on, it is promising that it is happening less and attitudes are changing, with one in five specs-wearing children being likened to their heroes, such as Harry Potter.'
Children's anti-bullying charity, Kidscape, which has been a long-standing Specsavers charity partner, also finds the new research promising.
Lauren Seager-Smith, CEO at Kidscape, says: 'Specsavers has been a huge supporter of Kidscape and bullying prevention for many years. This includes raising significant funds to help Kidscape deliver practical support to children and families impacted by bullying. We are delighted that the experiences of children in school are changing and that this generation can wear their specs with pride. Through working together, united against bullying, we can change the lives of young people for the better.'
On October 23, Specsavers is launched a new offer where children receive free glasses from the £64 range, with the choice of a second pair at half price, giving both children and parents something to smile about.

Q: Angular.js timer finish-callback method does not data bind? I am coding an Angular.js app that is kind of a quiz that shows picture and asks user to press a button for correct answer. The app then stores answers to an object.
All this works fine except that time callback function does not bind value.
When yes is clicked also it will update my img: {{questions[questionId]['imgUrl']}} which is updated inside the following function:
$scope.yes = function() {
    //instantiate timer
    //save data
    $scope.questions[$scope.questionId]['userAnswer'] = 'a';
    //move to next question
    $scope.questionId++;
    startTimer('progressbar-timer');

};

For some reason callback function timeout() should perform the same task, but it does not work. I get the correct value in my console log but img: {{questions[questionId]['imgUrl']}} is not be updated/
Should I somehow do extra binding here?
<!DOCTYPE html>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bower_components/bootstrap/docs/assets/css/bootstrap-responsive.css" />

  question: {{questions[questionId]['question']}}
  img: {{questions[questionId]['imgUrl']}}

  <button class="btn" ng-click="yes()">Yes</button>
  <button class="btn" ng-click="no()">No</button>
  <button class="btn" ng-click="notSure()">Not Sure</button>

  <timer id="countdown" interval="1000" countdown="5" finish-callback="timeout()">
      Remaining time : {{countdown}} second{{secondsS}} ({{progressBar}}%). Activity? {{displayProgressActive}} {{kysymys}}

              {{countdown}}

  </timer>

    <timer countdown="5" interval="1000" finish-callback="timeout.finished()">{{seconds}} second{{secondsS}} </timer>

Timer: {{timeout.status}}

A: I had a similar problem in my app and solved it as follows: For each variable in scope that you are trying to change, the way by which you change it should be wrapped in $scope.$apply().
So, rather than:
 $scope.no = function() {
   $scope.questions[$scope.questionId]['userAnswer'] = 'b';
   $scope.questionId++;
   startTimer('progressbar-timer');
 };

... try wrapping the contents with $scope.$apply():
 $scope.no = function() {
   $scope.apply(function() {
      $scope.questions[$scope.questionId]['userAnswer'] = 'b';
      $scope.questionId++;
      startTimer('progressbar-timer');
   });
 };

Q: closing saveFileDialog i have problem with closing saveFileDialog. when i click'cancel' window appears once again. here is my code:
        private void SaveAsItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        saveFileDialog1.FileName = "untitled";
        saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Text (*.txt)|*.txt";
        saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
        System.IO.StreamWriter SaveFile = new System.IO.StreamWriter(saveFileDialog1.FileName);
        if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.Cancel)
        {
            richTextBox1.Text = "CANCEL";
            issaved = false;
        }
        else
        {
            issaved = true;
            SaveFile.WriteLine(richTextBox1.Text);
        }
        SaveFile.Close();
    }

A: You're calling saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() twice, once to show it and once to get the result. You only need to call it once. Remove the line that says, saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog(); by itself, you're already doing that inside the if condition.
Edit: you'll also need to move all the FileStream operations inside of the else block for it to work properly after you remove that line. Here is my edited version:
    private void SaveAsItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    saveFileDialog1.FileName = "untitled";
    saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Text (*.txt)|*.txt";
    if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.Cancel)
    {
        richTextBox1.Text = "CANCEL";
        issaved = false;
    }
    else
    {
        System.IO.StreamWriter SaveFile = new System.IO.StreamWriter(saveFileDialog1.FileName);
        issaved = true;
        SaveFile.WriteLine(richTextBox1.Text);
        SaveFile.Close();
    }
}

You could also skip the FileStream altogether an just do a File.WriteAlltext(saveFileDialog1.FileName, richTextBox1.Text).

Sugarloaf Cabochon Pink Tourmaline and Peridot Earrings, Bulgari, 1980s. Beekman NYC New York Tri-State Fine Jewelry Rental
Sugarloaf Cabochon Pink Tourmaline and Peridot Earrings, Bulgari, 1980s.
SKU: J0385A
18K yellow gold earrings set with sugarloaf cabochon tourmalines and peridots, signed Bulgari.
These yellow gold Bulgari earrings feature textured gold with peridot and pink tourmaline sugarloaf cabochons for pops of color. They are sure to be a stunning companion to brighten up a suit for day, a dress at lunch and a gown at night. Wear them with the matching necklace and ring from our collection for the full set.
Pink Tourmaline Tourmalines come in a wide range of colors, from red, pinks and peach to green, yellow and blues. Pink tones are caused by trace elements of manganese present in the soil as the tourmaline was forming. In the 1890s, California was a major source of pink tourmaline, most of which was exported to China as it was the favorite color of the Dowager Empress Tz'u Hsi. Tourmaline is an October birthstone, as well as the 8th wedding anniversary stone.
Peridot Peridot was originally mined by ancient Egyptians who called it the "gem of the sun." Peridot ranges from brown-green to yellowish green to pure green. The Romans called peridot the "emerald of the evening" and the deepest green peridot have been mistaken for emeralds for centuries. Peridot is the August birthstone and the 15th anniversary stone.
Cabochon A cabochon is a gem which has been shaped and polished but not faceted, typically with a domed top and flat bottom. Cabochons are often cut for opaque stones, for softer translucent gems as well as to highlight phenomenon such as asterism "star" and chatoyancy "cat's eye", as these would not show in faceted stones. The 'sugarloaf' cabochon cut features a 4-sided pyramid shape.
Bulgari Founded in Rome in 1884 by Sotirios Voulgaris, who changed his name to Bulgari, the company continued to expand after World War 2 with the introduction of its renowned Serpenti collection of bracelet-watches. During the 1950s and 60s Bulgari continued to make its name for use of multi-colored stones, creating pieces for Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman and Gina Lollobrigida. Today the house continues to be known for angular forms, strong colors, cabochon gems and enduring collections such as Serpenti and Parentesi.
Demi-Parure Demi-Parure are pieces of matching jewelry that are designed to be worn together, though fewer than a full set or parure; dates from the second half of the 16th century, and traditionally, when a parure involved six or seven pieces, a demi-parure was a three-piece suite of (usually) a necklace, earrings, and a brooch.

No matter how little you run, you probably don't do it to destroy your body. And yet lots of people who run skip stretching, the all-time best way to prevent injury, reduce muscle soreness, and help you run more efficiently.
Even if you only clock a couple of miles, you should still stretch before and after running, according to Debora Warner, founder of Mile High Run Club a fitness studio dedicated to running in New York City.
Before you get started, pregame with a two- to three-minute jog, then transition to the active dynamic stretches below, which are designed to both loosen up the joints and continue to warm up the muscles. Perform each for 30 seconds before you move on to the next one. Then get on with your run.

The Keys to Mastering Maximalism, According to Indian Designers
The trending style has always been a key part of traditional Indian design.
Nikhita Mahtani
Published Apr 28, 2018 5:20 AM
Courtesy of VIYA HOME
The trend gods have spoken, and maximalism is back, and it's here to stay. Mounds of color, chic metallic accents, woven textures, and bright pops of colorful prints can be the most obvious way to add some personality to a space—and while the style may be having a resurgence in some parts of the world, it's always been a touchstone of Indian design.
"The current resurgence in nationalistic pride in India has led to a renewed interest in traditional Indian patterns and proportions in homes, not just with a view to replicate it, but also to put a somewhat post-modern twist on residential interior design," explains Ankit Soni, managing director at Swastik Spacecraft, an interior design and architectural company based in Mumbai, India.
In Indian design, cultural wood pieces, gold and silver accents, intricate beaded embroidery, and interesting materials like velvets and silk in a variety of hues characterize what is more traditional in style. But sometimes, more modern pieces do make their way into the design style, thanks to Scandinavian minimalism taking over the world (literally!), which means the designers have to maximize these elements and make them stand out without losing the bright hues that characterize Indian design.
Indian designers play with ornamentation and mix prints on a daily basis, so we tapped a handful of experts for their best tips to help you embrace maximalism in your home.
1. Play with shades of gold.
Hindu and Muslim design feature a lot gold accents and threads, but the trick is, each shade of gold is different—you have dull, muted shades juxtaposed with ones with a silverish tinge or bright shine.
"A lot of traditional Hindu and Muslim patterns and techniques, when used with modern, high-end materials such as imported marbles and different shades gold leafing lend to a luxurious and ultra modern atmosphere in homes," explains Soni. "It's an opulence that appeals to the Indian taste for maximalism, as well as the pride in India's rich heritage."
2. Layer different materials in the same color family.
India is famous for its materials—rich velvets, printed cotton fabrics, silver and gold brocades, and dyed ikat—which usually mix in a lot of color on a small surface. The key, therefore, is to use the materials that all play within the same color family for a more muted look: Consider a blue and silver combination, for example, or try reds and blacks to make more of a statement.
"A design is only successful if it evokes a sense of equilibrium and calm in the eyes of the user," says Cherag Bardolivala, partner at Mumbai-based RC Design Studio. "To merely use accents to create a bold look will eventually tire the end user, and wouldn't soothe their senses every time they experience the space. My advice to anyone wanting to fuse two different styles into one space would be to use the more stronger color or design element as an accent, and keep the basic color palette neutral. Patterns which complement each other by way of fluid lines and shapes marry each other well, as well as hues which evolve from the same color family that leave the space a well-balanced, yet tantalizingly refreshing space."
3. Let your statement pieces command attention through craft, instead of color.
Still not feeling like going all out with your color scheme? That's okay: You can still mix and match some tradition with more modern styles without feeling like your room should be a rainbow of color. Vikram Goyal, principal designer and director of Delhi-based design studio VIYA, says that while designing a home, he looks to create modern and dramatic masterpieces that "blur the lines between design and art."
Though his spaces are modern, he relies on heritage in other ways: "We typically evoke India through material and craftsmanship, using several customized sculptural pieces designed and developed at our studio," he says.
4. Use neutral paint as a backdrop.
An easy way to go all out is by using the background to your advantage—i.e, let a plain white or blue backdrop be the ultimate blank canvas so that you can really play around with textures and prints on, say, your sofa, chairs, or even floor and ceiling materials. Renu Chainani, founder of Eastern Treasure—a lifestyle design store that focuses on luxury speciality wallcoverings and funky shapes in furniture—says her favorite way to play with prints is through those
woven accents
that can really lend "a lot of spunk to a home."
"When designing, we add pattern into accessories and fabrics that can be easily changed," she explains. That allows for removing a few patterns if you want a more muted look, or going all out with wild colors if the mood allows.
Director of Mumbai-based design firm MuseLAB, Huzefa Rangwala, further explains this philosophy: "The Indian aesthetic is dotted with global influences—although it is pluralistic in some form, it can best be described by the sanskrit word 'rasa'—an Indian concept of aesthetic flavor. This is an essential element of any work of visual, literary, or performing art that can only be suggested, not described," he says.
"When it comes to combining the Indian designs and modern designs, the elements which belong to the former should be transitory (statement furniture pieces, furnishings, accessories, or screens)," he adds. "The shell of the space, along with a few fixed furniture pieces, can be modern and minimalist with Indian motifs sprinkled in a controlled manner. Patterns and colors must be used in a controlled manner and must complement each other, rather than contradicting each other: For instance, a busy or complex pattern must be complemented with muted, pastel colors, while a bold color palette can add wonder to a simple pattern."
5. Use your space as inspiration.
"For us, design is spatial," says Aditi Vora Nair, principal designer at AVN Interiors. "A lot of importance is given to utility and the experience people will have around a space, rather than mere decoration."
She uses different textures and prints depending on the area: "We like to incorporate more of the traditional and colorful, like wooden screens, colorful cushions with Indian ikat prints, or carved temple art; those are some of our favorite design elements," she says. "A colorful 'durrie' (an Indian woven rug or a traditionally embroidered cushion) is an accessory that can instantly add a hint of tradition to any modern space, while a carved wooden bench or a bronze figure of an Indian Deity can fit in a modern space without having an overpowering effect."

As Tiger Woods has lived through painful, public mistakes off the golf course, some of his high-profile friendships have seemingly crumbled.
Once good friends with Tiger Woods, neither Charles Barkley nor Michael Jordan hear from the golf great anymore, according to a story from The Undefeated.
That thing was Woods crashing his car into a tree in front of his house in 2009 and the fallout, which resulted in a divorce from his wife and a very public story of his life off the golf course. Woods didn't comment to The Undefeated, which said that he and Jordan haven't spoken since a story on ESPN.com - in which Jordan spoke about Woods' guilt - was published in 2016.
Begay and Woods, who returned to competitive golf with a 69 in the first round of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on Thursday, both played at Stanford, and have both gone through public incidents.
In 2001, Begay spent some time in jail after two DUIs, then had a heart attack while on the golf course in 2014.
Barkley told The Undefeated that he doesn't understand what happened.


How to get task done?
Registered accound, played 5 matches but get refused. WTF??? Any idea how to complete it?
No, I can't play it because I've got an Android phone, so I don't have any idea.
were do you wanna duo?
it happened to me to but also had one task approved. It looks like a lottery.


We invited our parents and grandparents in to see how we do maths in OLSK using Maths Makes Sense.
We demonstrated a short lesson with Mrs Turner to show them the different mimes for add, subtract, multiply and divide.
Then it was our turn to teach them and help them to complete Maths Stories of their own.
Most of them did very well and by the end they were able to do some of the work by themselves!
Well done to everyone who could join us!

Amazon's first serve
admin September 2, 2018	Tech news 1 Comment 259 Views
There have been grumbles from UK-based tennis fans this week about the quality and ease of watching Amazon's groundbreaking coverage of the US Open.
As the final Grand Slam of the year approaches its climax next week there have been a plethora of complaints about the live action on Prime Video, covering everything from picture and sound quality, to camera angles, ease of navigation around the service, restricted match choice, and the short duration of highlights.
User feedback on Amazon's own website has been critical, giving its coverage from Flushing Meadows, New York, just one-and-a-half stars out of five.
Remarks such as "At the moment the move to Prime Video for tennis fans in the UK is a backward step and very disappointing to put it mildly" and "this is just terrible – tennis fans in the UK are in shock about this 'service'" give a flavour of the disgruntlement.
The US Open rights in the UK were won by Amazon earlier this year
After spending a reported $40m (£31m) to secure the tournament rights, the US online retail giant will need to sell a lot of Prime subscriptions – which cost £79-a-time in the UK – to recoup its outlay.
Hence its pledge to tennis fans that it is "working with customers to address specific issues" and listening "to all customer feedback".
Despite those viewer criticisms, within the sports rights industry the coverage is seen as a landmark moment because it is the first time Amazon has shown live action from a major global sporting event.
In doing so, it is moving into territory that has been the preserve of traditional broadcasters such as the BBC and ITV, or cable firms such as Sky and BT.
Amazon is challenging traditional sports broadcasters
The move sees tennis move away from traditional TV to an "over-the-top" (OTT) offering, selling directly to consumers via the internet – and bypassing traditional telecommunications, cable or broadcast television service providers.
Over the past few years online platforms have invested heavily in content as they battle with those more-established formats for supremacy and customer viewing. Amazon has been among the most aggressive as it seeks to grow its subscriber base but has until now mainly focused on comedy, drama and film.
The firm made its UK sporting debut this summer, when it provided live coverage of the pre-Wimbledon Queen's tennis tournament in London.
And its gatecrashing of the tennis world has seen it also go for year-round content, after it secured ATP men's global tour rights for four years at a reported cost of £50m.
It means Amazon Prime members in the UK and Republic of Ireland will have access to 37 ATP World Tour events.
Amazon will show 20 top flight English games per year
But it has not stopped there. After months of speculation Amazon announced it would bid for top flight Premier League football rights in England. In June, a deal was announced that Amazon was to livestream exclusive coverage of 20 matches a season online.
The online giant will show 10 matches over one Bank Holiday and the same number during one midweek fixture programme, for three seasons from 2019.
It should be available to UK Prime Video members at no extra cost to their existing subscription.
'Teething problems'
Someone who has been taking a close look at what Amazon has been doing in both the worlds of tennis and football is Robin Jellis, editor of specialist broadcasting publication TV Sports Markets.
"People have been saying the US Open coverage has not been without its glitches," he says. "But generally, with any streaming service, it will have some problems at launch."
La Liga games are now streamed in the UK
He says that Eleven Sports, a firm that streams matches from Italy's Serie A and Spain's La Liga in the UK, has also had problems setting up its coverage.
"Any over-the-top provider has teething problems when they launch, and I don't think everyone expects it to go totally smoothly," he says.
"I don't think Amazon went into this thinking everything would be 100% perfect. It is practically impossible to launch something like this and have everyone happy with it."
'Better service'
Amazon's coverage of the ATP men's tennis circuit begins in January next year and runs until the end of 2023.
"The US Open is almost a test event for them to see what they can and cannot do," says Mr Jellis.
The US Open coverage is a forerunner of Amazon's ATP coverage from 2019
"Maybe this came a bit too early for them, they will want to add new features down the line. By next January they will hope to have smoothed out any problems and have a better service for customers.
"And they will certainly want to have everything right by the time they start their Premier League coverage in the 2019-20 season."
Meanwhile, tennis fans will be hoping for a more smooth Amazon Prime viewing experience from the Big Apple this coming week as the Open heads towards its climax.

My work researches liminal moments between hope and survival, between human advancement and environmental degradation. Originally spurred by a deadly earthquake in my hometown of Otautahi, New Zealand, in 2011, I found our need to continue building upon the same lands, utilizing the same techniques, believing in systems long outdated, failed to address how humankind adapts and coexists with the environment.
Looking at the evidence of remains, and of new beginnings, I am intrigued by the irrevocable shift in one's sense of self in relation to place that occurs after the illusion of stability ceases to exist. In these moments, our environment can become both threatened and threatening. Mentally cataloging the beauty of our pioneering that I see, and afraid of the consequences by entrusting so much in our current systems of belief.
As a mixed media artist, I record these experiences by taking Polaroid and digital images, and construct sculptures of found, natural and manmade materials, that expose the extent of the environmental crisis our planet is experiencing.
My work seeks to reveal the fleeting and fragile environment we inhabit, and our existence on this planet, which is tied to a naïve trust of manmade systems. These systems that ensure our survival, yet may end up being our demise.

What is macro tracking and should I be doing it?
No doubt you've been hearing some buzz about macronutrients and you may be wondering if you should be tracking yours.
FIrst, I'll explain what a macro program is all about and then we'll jump into some of the pros and cons of macro tracking.
"Macro" is short for macronutrients which are proteins, carbohydrates and fats. All foods are made up of some combination of macronutrients. By tracking and targeting an individualized daily macro goal, you will be eating adequate amounts of food to help you perform better in the gym, build muscle and achieve your fat loss goals at the same time.
If you are thinking about about getting started on a macro program, here are some of the pros and potential cons for you to consider.
Awareness about your daily intake - if you've never been one to track your food, you might find yourself surprised at how much food you actually eat in a day's time. Or, you may find that your new macro goals have you eating more food that you normally do and that you were actually under-eating. By tracking your macros and hitting your targets on a consistent basis, you will gain so much awareness about the foods that don't have a place in your daily life and what foods you over-consume or under-consume. This is valuable information and can help you build a sustainable plan that will keep you feeling good during your WOD's and loving your new athletic look.
Increased performance - having more energy for your WODs means you will be able to push yourself harder. If you are under-eating the right type of carbs, you may not have the "ready" energy you need to really hit it hard during your WOD's. Inadequate protein intake could be keeping you from building more muscle so you can lift more.
Quicker recovery - By taking in some quick carbs and protein immediately after your workouts, you can help minimize soreness so you can get back into the gym feeling fresh and ready to do it all again.
Body recomposition - Body builders and physique competitors have mastered this macro stuff for the sole purpose of showing off all of those hard earned muscles. I think most of us long to look like we work out, right? By eating the proper combination of protein, fat and carbs, you can change your body composition and it doesn't have to mean depriving yourself of your favorite foods or creating a massive caloric deficit that is unsustainable. If fat loss is one of your goals, then a macro program is a great tool to help you get there.
Tracking your food - I know, this sounds a lot like the first bullet point in the cons section and you're right, it is. While tracking creates awareness of what you are eating, it can also be very burdensome. A macro program will not work if you are not willing to commit to diligently tracking your food. There are tools and methods out there that can help you do this fairly easily but it will still require some discipline on your part.
Food neurosis - If you are someone who has had an unhelathy relationship with food in the past, weighing and measuring food could trigger some of those old unhealthy tendencies.
You're just getting started - If you are just getting started on your health and wellness journey and are coming from a mostly sedentary background and your idea of a healthy meal is having lettuce and tomatoes in your Del Taco burrito, then you are probably not ready to jump into the world of tracking macros.
I hope this gives you some good information to decide whether or not a macro program is right for you. If you would like to learn more about a macro program that best fits your needs, feel free to contact me or Coach Martin as we have both been working with athletes here at the Forest.

Over the past few years, I have done several Whole30's. Each time I completed a Whole30 I was able to understand a bit more about how certain foods affect me and more importantly, how I "use" certain foods as a reward or for stress relief. This was all learned by trial and error and hopefully some of what I am about to share will help you get to the benefits of Whole30 faster.

Investor who returned 4,000% in Q1 2020 explains what people get wrong about risk mitigation
Julia La Roche
·Former Correspondent
September 7, 2021, 4:41 PM ·6 min read
Hedge fund manager Mark Spitznagel, the founder of $11 billion "Black Swan" hedge fund Universa Investments, says investors have been getting risk mitigation wrong from the start.
"Our goals are even wrong. And really, we have Modern Portfolio Theory to thank us for this. But it's just kind of a heuristic of investing that you need to take more risk in order to get higher returns, in order to get more wealth at the end of the day. And as you take less risk, your returns are going to go down," Spitznagel told Yahoo Finance Presents in a rare interview to discuss his second book, "Safe Haven: Investing for Financial Storms," which he describes as his firm's "manifesto."
The 50-year-old professional safe-haven investor said, "The goal of risk mitigation, like the goal of investing, should be to raise our rate of compounding over time," which he adds "flies in the face of everything we know from modern finance."
It's what Spitznagel has dubbed the "great dilemma of risk," where if an investor doesn't take enough risks, it will likely cost them their wealth over time, and if they take too much risk, it will also likely cost them their wealth over time.
While many have this idea that risk mitigation is often a trade-off against wealth creation, Spitznagel demonstrates that "there really is another way" to cost-effectively lower a portfolio's risk and be additive over time, raising a portfolio's CAGR.
Spitznagel is among the best performing investment managers of the last decade-plus, reaping massive gains from market crashes. During the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, Universa delivered a stunning 4,144% return during the first quarter when markets sharply sold off.

According to documents reviewed by Yahoo Finance, the life-to-date average annual return on invested capital from the fund's inception 11 years ago through the end of 2019 is north of 105%, making Universa one of the top-performing hedge funds during that time. Today, Universa manages close to $11 billion in assets under management, almost triple what it had at the end of 2020, documents show.
As Spitznagel notes in the book, the performance of Universa's risk-mitigated portfolios is "a direct consequence of having far less risk."
Universa Investments specializes in risk mitigation, deploying a tail-risk hedging strategy to limit losses from an outsized market event, like a "Black Swan." Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of "The Black Swan," is the "Distinguished Scientific Advisor" to Universa Investments.
"[The] way Universa invests is really probably the most bearish expression that one could have as an investor. And yet, at the same time, my clients want the markets to go up," Spitznagel said.
To put it simply, the tail hedge acts like insurance with asymmetric and explosive downside protection. Spitznagel is known for stomaching small expected losses over time and making large profits in a crash.
Spitznagel, who grew up a "scrappy, poor kid," in the Chicago commodities trading pits, said that's where he learned from a mentor that "a small loss is a good loss."
"And as a pit trader, this is kind of what I was taught, really starting as a teenager, that this is what trading is —Trading is taking very small losses and taking very large profits," Spitznagel said, pointing out that it's "diametrically opposed to the way pretty much all hedge funds operate."
While Universa's returns, like the 4,000% return in the first quarter of 2020, often garner media attention during crashes and sell-offs, Spitznagel said he "always like to de-emphasize that."
"[Because] really, at the end of the day, any punter can devise a trade that does well in a crash. The key is how do you do in a crash an insurance-like payoff like Universa's. How do you do in a crash relative to the rest of the time? So that's really what matters, are these long swaths of time that really matter," the investor added.
When it comes to the state of the markets, Spitznagel is of the view that the Federal Reserve "manipulating the most important information parameter in the economy, and that's the interest rates," which thereby "rips apart" the homeostatic system of the financial markets, which he notes is a "corrective feedback mechanism."
"But I would argue it doesn't remove it. It basically just sort of delays it and concentrates it in time. So I think a good way to think about this is when you're driving, driving is very much this sort of feedback mechanism where you make these minor corrections. And I think that's a good way to think about what the market does, the price system does. But think when you drive on ice, all of a sudden you have this delayed feedback so that when you do something, nothing happens until all of a sudden it does," Spitznagel added.
He points out that history shows that the homeostatic corrective feedback mechanism "rears its angry head, and that's really what a crash is."
"But it's made worse, and it's delayed through this central bank interventionism," he added.
To be sure, Spitznagel says he remains "very much agnostic to all of this."
"[I] think it's important to invest in a way that you don't rely on this sort of grandiose forecast. I think it's a misnomer when people think that investing is about forecasting. I think that generally, everybody agrees that. But it really shouldn't be about forecasting," he added.
Spitznagel emphasized that the range of outcomes is massive, and you only get one path to trade.
"We don't get an average across all possible paths in the multiverse. We get just one. So it's a little bit crazy to invest based on that one," he added.
While Spitznagel has an exception of "some destruction in the future in the financial markets, that doesn't necessarily mean that someone should just hide away because that in and of itself may not be the best strategy, either."
"That's kind of like the dogma of diversification, thinking that just by lowering your risk, it's going to be better for you. People need to think that through more carefully," he added.

Asrock E4G3 Power Surges on USB Hub?
Thread: Asrock E4G3 Power Surges on USB Hub?
I just wondered has anyone else experienced a lot of power surges on the USB Hub that causes their system to freeze? I've had quite a few of them and I have to restart the whole system and in most cases not use that device/anymore USB devices.
Do you know if there is a solution to this because it seems to be a fault with the actual board AFAIK as I have a clean power supply and connected to an APC backup.
