Where can i find for all these Grafics here the Version without Lights on?
Some are not included in the Sets.
These are great. Could I possibly request to use some of these graphics for my own personal account?
Can you email me the non emergency and emergency graphics for FDNY? I would like to start building new York up once I complete some cities in Canada.
Also, do you happen to have an updated list of current fire appratus for FDNY?
How about current appratus and which unit in each station for FDNY EMS?
Thank you for the links. Helps immensely.
Just one question....is there an updated list of FDNY EMS apparatus for each station? The wiki page is not updated and I'm trying to fill each station with exact apparatus.
Does anyone have FDNY EMS complete on their map?

Lewedorp ist ein Dorf innerhalb der Gemeinde Borsele in der niederländischen Provinz Zeeland. Das Dorf hat 1775 Einwohner (Stand: 1. Januar 2022). Das Dorf liegt im südlichen Teil der Halbinsel Zuid-Beveland, dem sogenannten "Zak van Zuid-Beveland". Lewedorp ist das jüngste Dorf der Gemeinde und war ursprünglich nur eine Ansammlung von Häusern unter dem Namen Noord-Kraayert, nach dem Kraayertpolder, in dem sich der Weiler befand.

Der Bau des Verbindungsdamms durch die Sloe im Jahr 1871 zwischen Walcheren und Zuid-Beveland gab ihr einen bedeutenden Wachstumsimpuls. 1929 war der Ort so weit gewachsen, dass man von einem vollwertigen Dorf sprechen konnte. Der Gemeinderat von 's-Heer Arendskerke, dem der Ort damals unterstand, beschloss, dass auch das neue Dorf einen neuen Namen erhalten sollte und erhielt so seinen heutigen Namen. Dieser rührt vom damaligen Bürgermeister Jonkheer U.E. Lewe van Neijenstein her. Lewedorp war bis 1970 eine selbstständige Gemeinde und wurde zu jenem Jahr in die Gemeinde Borsele eingegliedert.

Panel Paper: Did the 2010 VA PTSD Rule Change Affect Disability Compensation Receipt?
Thursday, November 12, 2015 : 10:55 AM
Jennifer R. Tennant1, Kara Contreary2 and Yonatan Ben-Shalom2, (1)Ithaca College, (2)Mathematica Policy Research
In July of 2010, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) changed their regulations with regard to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The new rule applies to all veterans and simplifies the process for obtaining disability compensation for veterans with PTSD. The new regulation states that the VA will grant disability compensation to those with PTSD if they can prove that they served in a war zone and in a job consistent with the PTSD-causing event or events. Prior to the new rule, non-combat veterans had to prove that a specific "hostile military activity" caused his or her PTSD in order to receive disability compensation. Many veterans did not serve in combat roles but experienced traumatic experiences during their tours of duty, and the rule change likely led to an increase in disability compensation receipt among veterans who served in a war zone but not in a combat role. It may also have led to reduced stigma among veterans with regards to reporting serious difficulties concentrating, remembering, or making decisions ("cognitive disability"). We use the 2007–2013 waves of the CPS Veterans Supplement, administered in August of each year, to examine whether the PTSD rule change led to an increase in self-reported cognitive disability and VA disability compensation receipt for veterans who served in combat zones. The 2009 wave occurred before the change in the VA PTSD rule and the last three waves occurred after the rule change. We use a difference-in-differences (DD) model to determine if the rule change led to changes in the above outcomes. In the DD model, veterans who served in combat zones are the "treated" group and those who did not are the "control" group. The 2010 change in the VA PTSD rule is expected to affect the former but not the latter, because the rule only applies to those who served in a combat zone.

Sabah Tourism Board welcomed its new general manager Gordon Yapp, who was promoted to the post from deputy general manager, effective 1 April 2016. Not new to the tourism industry, Gordon brings with him 30 years of experience from his early start as marketing officer in 1986 at the then Sabah Tourism Promotion Corporation. During his tenure as deputy general manager, Gordon played an instrumental role in developing markets for Sabah, most notably the Korean and Japanese markets, making them Sabah's top visitor arrivals for 10 years.
In an interview with Borneo360 Alive, Gordon expressed confidence in leading the organization to greater heights amidst a very competitive global tourism market. Here is what he had to say about the tourism industry in Sabah and its future.
"Sabah is a very unique state in Malaysia because of various factors – it is located in the island of Borneo, and the name Borneo itself is very unique, it is a very saleable brand and internationally, it is already well-known," says Gordon.
He lists Sabah's natural assets such as Kinabalu Park with Mt Kinabalu, one of the highest mountains in South East Asia, and dive islands just off the east coast of Sabah, as unique features contributing to Sabah's immense tourism appeal. Having the oldest rainforest in the world and endemic animals such as the Borneo pygmy elephant and proboscis monkey in the Kinabatangan are equally significant attractions.
Adventure sport is another feature of Sabah's tourism industry that has seen some significant developments recently.
Apart from its natural attractions, Sabah's multi-cultural society is also a big pull factor in bringing in international and domestic tourists.
"We are also promoting ourselves as a MICE destination. This is a big market and although our convention centre is not yet complete, we expect the MICE market to be even bigger once it is completed in two to three years time," adds Gordon.
Taking over the helm as general manager of Sabah Tourism Board entails a big responsibility but Gordon already has a few ideas of his own to move the industry forward.
"Because the tourism landscape has changed, the way marketing is done has also changed. So to keep up with the latest trend, STB will now shift to go into digital marketing and will make use of the various social media as our marketing platform," says Gordon, adding that this is in direct response to a more competitive industry with a lot of new destinations coming into the competition.
He stressed that the role of Sabah Tourism Board as a state government agency is to facilitate and promote but ultimately the industry is private sector driven and is the driving force behind the industry. Hence, working together with the private sector is crucial to make sure the industry will continue to succeed in the long term.

Delaware County 4th-Graders Persuade Pizza Chain to Change Its Straw Policy
By Omar Jackson

Delco Students Convinces Pizza Chain to Alter Straw Policy
http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/Delaware-County-4th-Graders-UNO-Straw-Policy-Environmental--511323921.html
After receiving an environmentally friendly request by a class of fourth-grade students, customers at the well-known Uno's Pizzeria & Grill will now be required to request a straw with their favorite beverages.
(Published Friday, June 14, 2019)
A class of fourth-graders at Wallingford Elementary School in Delaware County persuaded the owner of one of the biggest pizzeria chains in the United States to change his straw policy.
The students wrote essays to Jim Ilaria, the CEO of UNO Pizzeria & Grill, in hopes of getting him to update his business's straw practices.
Within weeks, Ilaria responded by changing UNO's policy for giving out straws with drinks at its more than 100 restaurants to "on-demand only."
Susan Knight, the students' teacher at Wallington, said she was "ridiculously proud" of her fourth graders' accomplishment.
"I would say I'm overwhelmed and I tear up at times because not only what they have done, but we've needed some pretty special adult help along the way," she said.
On Friday, Ilaria visited the class — complete with an UNO-style pizza party — to celebrate their efforts to bring a positive environmental change.
"Small kids can make big changes to their world," Ilaria said. "They know that they can change the world and that's what's important."
He added, "My franchise thought it was the right thing to do for the environment. Our franchise partners got behind this right away."
The Wallingford kids didn't just change the straw policy at UNO.
They also wrote essays to a local restaurant called Ruby's Diner, which changed its policy within a week.
Last month, Gov. Tom Wolf signed a proclamation making June 1 "Skip the Straw Day" in Pennsylvania.
Years of plastic use, like straws, bags, and cups have led researchers to estimate that 90% of all seabirds and sea turtle species have ingested pieces of plastic, according to a report in the World Wildlife Magazine. Within a decade, the magazine has reported there could be a pound of plastic in the ocean for every three pounds of fish.

Taylor are redefining acoustic guitars with a brand new design
Artist / Label News
Taylor have been a leading brand in guitars for years now. Their new design for acoustic guitars brings new life to the ageless instrument.
This year, Taylor shook up the acoustic world with the introduction of a new internal-bracing system for its pricier acoustics. Called "V-Class" bracing, it was devised by Andy Powers, a master guitar maker who joined Taylor in 2011 and has been talked about as an heir to Bob Taylor's leadership.
In his hand's on review with the new design for Business Insider UK, Matthew DeBord says:
There's a reason why musicians who play in churches and a lot of electric-centric folks adore Taylors: the amplified characteristics are stunning, replicating the natural sound of an acoustic even at higher volumes.
At this level, acoustics don't have flaws — they simply have varying degrees of magnificent virtues. But the V-Class bracing lives up to its billing and then some. By nature of their legacy design, acoustic guitars are never really perfect, and almost everybody fights a bit to achieve what they want, no matter how skilled they are.
My time with the 914ce reminded me that if you're a casual guitarist and deeply amateur musician, you can certainly enjoy a fine instrument. But it also highlighted how much a good guitar can help a great player better express him or herself. In my experience, even some famous guitars, such as the Gibson J-45, don't much like to be played all over the neck.
Not so with the new Taylors — where the V-Class bracing, combined with the company's neck-to-body joining for which its already renowned, means that you can hit every single available note and savor the sustain and volume that Powers focused on while remaining deliciously in tune. And even if you don't like single-note playing and prefer strumming chords, the difference between a three- and four-finger G chord on the 914ce is a revelation.
Read the full review to find out just how Taylor's new innovations work and exactly how much of an impact they have on your sound.

Austria's fundamental political transformation from an economically backward and multi-ethnic superpower to a small and wealthy democracy at the centre of Europe involved phases of democratic (1918–34), pre-fascist (1934–8), and Nazi rule (1938–45). Despite several regime breakdowns during the first half of the 20th century, the welfare state established in the Habsburg era survived political upheavals by and large unscathed. Post-war Austria, by contrast, was characterized by a considerable economic, societal, and political stability between the 1950s and the mid-1980s. In retrospect, a duopoly of pro-welfare state parties, consociational democracy, and highly developed corporatism, as well as a Federal Constitution lacking institutional veto points, provided a political configuration highly conducive to welfare state expansion during the post-war period. Rapid economic growth provided the economic means for funding the expansion of the welfare state and smoothed distributional conflict between the social partners and their allied parties.

June festivals in Tuscany
June is a month rich in festivals celebrating Tuscany's glorious past. Many of the popular events, such as Calcio in Costume in Florence, and the Historical Regatta in Pisa take place during this period.
If you happen to be in Tuscany in June, this is what you might not want to miss:
Torneo di San Giovanni, Florence, June 13, 14 and 24. This is the official name of the famous "calcio fiorentino" (Florentine football) or "calcio in livrea". The origins of this sport can be traced back to the ancient Roman game called arpasto, and in the middle ages it became the most practiced sport in Florence. Over the centuries, it grew in importance thanks to the interest it raised among the noblemen of the city, who started organizing tournaments in the main squares. A curiosity: some men who were to become Pope are remembered among the most famous players of the game, such as Clement VII, Leo XI and Urban VIII. After 200 years of neglect, the tradition of this sport was revived in 1930. Since then, every year, the 4 historical quarters of Florence (Bianchi di Santo Spirito in white, Azzurri di Santa Croce in blue, Rossi di Santa Maria Novella in red, and Verdi di San Giovanni in green) play a tournament in the beautiful setting of Piazza Santa Croce. The matches are preceded by a parade in period costumes (Corteo Storico della Repubblica Fiorentina) which crosses the center from Piazza Santa Maria Novella to the very special "football field".
Giostra del Saracino, Arezzo, June 20. This is the most representative celebration of the old medieval times. The Giostra is a horseback tournament, during which two knights, one from each of the "rioni" or neighbourhoods of the city, fight a "manikin" on a pole that resembles an Arab, a "Saracino", the term used by Catholics in the Middle Ages to refer to Muslims.
Il Gioco del Ponte or the battle of the bridge, Pisa, June 27. More on this on our page on Giugno Pisano.
Luminara and Regatta of San Ranieri, Pisa, June 16 and 17. More on this on our page on Giugno Pisano.
Ferie delle Messi (the harvest festival) and Giostra dei Bastoni (the tournament of "sticks"), San Gimignano (Siena), June 19-21. The Association of the Knights of Santa Fina re-enact some famous events in the medieval history of the town. The event celebrates the "ferie messium", the propitiatory rites which the population used to perform in the hope for a good harvest. The Ferie Messium were also the occasion for some fun, and the Giostra dei Bastoni was one of the many events which entertained the population of San Gimignano during the days of the harvest festival. The Giostra is on Sunday 21, at 6pm.
Torneo di Palazzo Pitti, Florence, June 20. Tournament featuring a series of medieval games (with knife throwers, crossbowmen, bowmen, etc.) celebrating the Patron Saint of the city, Saint John the Baptist. The tournament is opened by a flag waving show at 6 in Piazza Pitti. There will also be a re-enactment of an old Florentine market with craftsmen and jugglers.
Palio della Vittoria, Anghiari (Arezzo), June 29. Every year, on this day, the town commemorates the historical battle of Anghiari (June 29, 1440) which decided the borders of the Granducato di Toscana thanks to the victory of the Florentine and Vatican armies over the Venetian and Milanese armies. The parades starts at 8:15 pm and after the Palio, the celebrations continue with a banquet at Castello dei Sorci.
Torneo Cavalleresco della Massa Trabaria, Sestino (Arezzo), June 28. Massa Trabaria was the name given to a province of the Vatican State at a crossroads between Tuscany, Umbria, Emilia Romagna and Le Marche. Nice village and nice period costume parade.
Volo del Ciuco (the Flight of the Donkey), Empoli, June 13. This bizarre festival dates back to the 14th century when it was decided that every year, after the religious festivity of Corpus Domini, a donkey should be brought to the top of the bell-tower of the Collegiata of Empoli, tied to a pulley and slid along a rope down to the Ghibellino Palace. Obviously, nowadays, the donkey is not a real one but a puppet.
Giostra cavalleresca (Knights tournament) and Festival del Folklore (Folklore Festival), Figline Valdarno (Florence), June 13-14. Two days of celebrations in Piazza Ficino with the Osterie of the town quarters. On the 13th there will be a market called Il Triocco and a flag waving show.
Il Bianco e L'Azzurro (the White and the Blue), San Quirico d'Orcia (Siena), June 13-14. A medieval festival with flag waving shows, bowmen and a medieval dinner (reservation necessary).
A cena da Messer Giovanni (Dinner at Messer Giovanni's), Certaldo (Florence), June 13. Medievl dinner for 150 people. Reservation necessary.
Palio dei Rioni, Castiglion Fiorentino (Arezzo), June 21. A horseback race in honour of the Madonna delle Grazie del Rivaio.
Palio dei Ciuchi, Cerbaia (Florence), June 21. A donkey race following a parade with people in medieval costumes, flag wavers and musicians.
Palio della Rivalsa, Bettolle di Sinalunga (Siena), June 21. The celebrations start at 5:30 with a parade. At 6:45 the palio begins: the "barellieri" carry a wooden amphora while the "scalatori" (climbers) must put off a fire placed at the top of a 5 meter-high pole.
Menar mascelle all'or di cena (literally "moving jaws at dinner time"), Vinci (Florence), June 26. Amazing candlelight dinner with waiters in medieval costume, flag wavers and musicians in the beautiful Italian garden of the Villa del Ferrale overlooking the countryside. Reservation required.
Oste in Festa, Oste di Montemurlo (Prato), June 25-28. Medieval dinner on Jun e 25, Palio della Ruzzola dei Cerchi e delle Botti on June 27, antique market on June 28.
Festa del Barbarossa, San Quirico d'Orcia (Siena), June 27-28. Two days of re-enactment of the Middle Ages in this town on the Via Francigena to commemorate the meeting of Frederick I of Hohenstaufen duke of Swabia (called Il Barbarossa – the red-bearded man) and Pope Adrian VI.

Are the above dates for festivals for 2010?
Hi Melonie,
no, these dates were those for 2009. Most festivals will be around the same time. Generally festivals are on the same weekend every year. So, for example, the my village festival is always on the last weekend of August.
Some events are always on the same day, no matter what day of the week it is. So for instance, La Luminara in Pisa is always on June 16, and Palio della Vittoria in Arezzo is always on the 29th.
Memories of a wedding in Tuscany…

Q: Tooltip inconsistently loads I'm working on fixing a bug on a web page created in .NET that integrates jQuery UI and uses it to replace the default tooltips generated by the browser.
These tooltips occasionally render in code, as you can see below. Sometimes the tooltip will not render (only when the mouse goes to the center of the button) and then the title attribute will not return to the link element.
This .gif should help illustrate my problem clearly:

I understand why the title element is being removed. It is mentioned by jQuery on their own web page stating that this behavior is expected so that browsers will not render their own versions of tooltips.
The behavior I am confused about is why occasionally the tooltip will not show, and as a result the title attribute is stripped off of my link element.
Even after exploring the jQuery-UI.js source code I still don't understand why the button.hover() doesn't always create the tooltip.
Thanks for your help.

Proposed CFIUS Regulations Expand Its Jurisdiction
On September 17, 2019, the Department of the Treasury proposed regulations implementing most of the remaining provisions of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 ("FIRRMA"), which updated the statute authorizing reviews of foreign investment by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS").
The proposal contains few surprises, largely codifying and expanding upon existing CFIUS practice and implementing changes already signaled in FIRRMA. The attached memorandum provides a summary of the most significant changes contained in the Proposed Regulations and highlights implications for practitioners and investors. Among other matters, the Proposed Regulations would:
expand mandatory filings to cover any investment with respect to which (a)(i) a foreign government has a direct or indirect 49% or greater voting stake in the acquiror and (ii) the acquisition is of at least a 25% voting stake, and (b) the U.S. business of the target (i) develops critical technology, (ii) performs specified functions with respect to critical infrastructure, or (iii) handles sensitive personal data of specified types and volumes, subject to a qualified exception for investment through U.S.-managed investment funds;
expand CFIUS's jurisdiction over investments falling short of the more general "control" standards for businesses involving critical technology, critical infrastructure, and sensitive personal data, similar to standards previously adopted under the critical technology pilot program;
extend CFIUS's jurisdiction to certain acquisitions of real estate not operated as a business (e.g., raw land), including foreclosure on mortgages;
exempt investments from a to-be-specified list of friendly countries from the expanded jurisdiction applicable to critical technology, critical infrastructure, and sensitive personal data transactions, but only if the eligible country adopts a foreign investment review regime that CFIUS approves as being adequately robust and cooperative, and not with respect to "control" transactions (which appear to remain subject to mandatory filing);
expand the short-form "declaration" process to make it an option for all transactions within CFIUS's jurisdiction; and
make a number of important procedural changes, in particular with respect to the acquisition of contingent equity interests and secured lending.
Even where the proposed regulations do not directly apply, they provide important insight into CFIUS's analysis of issues involving critical technology, critical infrastructure, sensitive personal data, and acquisitions of real estate in sensitive areas.

Daniel David is a writer, artist and professor living along the southern shore of Lake Erie in North America. His poems have appeared widely in a number of venues across the United States, in Canada, and the United Kingdom. His publications also include articles in the Journal of Creative Behavior; chapbooks Close to Home and Two Buddha; and his novel, Flying Over Erie.
"I acknowledge a kind of readiness for poems more so than the existence of a muse or the idea of inspiration. This readiness requires listening intently to my surroundings; a humility of purpose and acceptance; and a quiet, though often exasperating, patience. I do not seek a poem out but rather encourage the images to arrive at my threshold. I allow the words to form, to emerge naturally and organically, in a place somewhere between a vibrant reality and the recesses of my unconscious. I relish the elusive aspect of this emergence. Often the greatest challenge and the greatest reward is to find aesthetic significance in seemingly mundane, day-to-day occurrences. Each poem evolves in its own unique manner. There is no delineated, predictable order or destination; there are few preconceptions. The initial inception is expanded, combined with newly discovered associations, and gradually finds a voice of intent."

Secured in a specially designed iron frame and followed by a crowd of engineers and journalists, a gigantic ancient statue of pharaoh Ramses II has been carefully moved 400 meters to its new home in a brand new museum.
The 12-meter high colossus, weighing over 80 tons, was carried on the back of two huge trailer beds. Even the road was fixed and flattened so the statue could be moved smoothly.
The monument was accompanied by the Egyptian military engineering corps. It was escorted by 11 mounted honor guards wearing ceremonial uniform and a military band performing the national anthem. The complex relocation, and accompanying fanfare, cost 13.6 million Egyptian pounds ($770,000).
The new Grand Egyptian Museum, which will cover around 490,000 square meters, is expected to fully open by 2022. The opening of the first section is scheduled for 2018.
Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, ruled Egypt for around 60 years, from 1279 to 1213 BC. He greatly expanded the territory of the Egyptian empire, which spanned an area from modern day Syria to Sudan.
The statue of Ramses II was discovered in 1820 near ancient Memphis by Giovanni Battista Caviglia, an Italian explorer and Egyptologist, who was also a key figure in the excavation of the Sphinx of Giza. During the 20th century, the monument decorated Ramses Square in downtown Cairo for more than 50 years, but was then transported to the Giza Plateau in 2006.
