On-trade failing to claim back £1,000s in capital allowances
Published: 15 February, 2011
Bar and restaurant owners are failing to claim back thousands of pounds worth of capital allowances, says one tax claim firm.
Capital allowances cover electrical items including emergency lighting, switchboards and switchgears and power supplies to data and telecommunications.
Dan Fox, freeholder of a Brighton property which houses French bistro-restaurant In Vino Veritas, managed to claim back £73,754 - 29% of the purcahse price - in capital allowances. The building was bought for £250,000 in 2004. Qualifying for plant and machinery allowances on this property were a number of electrical items, including emergency lighting, switchgears and power supplies. In addition, heating installations and extract ventilations qualified for the greatest amount of allowances under plant and machinery, along with the dumb waiter.
Shaun Murphy, chief executive of Portal Tax Claims, said: "In the current economic climate owners of commercial property such as pubs and restaurants need to mindful of every penny. Most are unaware that such valuable capital allowances are waiting to be claimed. Literally billions of pounds are due to commercial property owners but most lack the necessary expertise to make the claim which can be a complicated process."
The top 10 items commercial property owners are owed tax back on are air conditioning, lifts, heating, lighting, car park security, power, switchgear, transformers, fire alarms and suspended ceilings.

Sometimes not all redesigns hit on the first try.
With all the backlash from the odd Pepsico rebranding from last month, a second iteration of the Mountain Dew ID has surfaced.
It's trippy! I'm not sure how I feel about flying green stalagmites/elf hats, but it's a step in the right direction compared to V2.0 Hokusai/Great Wave bottle. The illustration is nice, but it's missing something. They should definitely take design cues from the Green Label Art Ltd Edition bottles from June/July 2008.

AFT Executive Council Condemns Gun Violence
For Release:

acrook@aft.org
WASHINGTON—At a meeting of its executive council today, the American Federation of Teachers passed a wide-ranging resolution condemning gun violence and calls to arm teachers, while urging action to protect children and educators from gun violence. AFT President Randi Weingarten said:
"It's time for politicians to value children over the gun lobby. AFT members will not rest until we prevent military-style weapons from getting into the hands of people who want to massacre children and educators. And if our current elected officials won't change the laws to protect our kids and create safe schools, we'll change who gets elected in November.
"I am in awe of the students who are leading right now—and their educators. These are kids who sheltered in closets, who lost their friends, who wrote texts to their families thinking they had one last opportunity to say they loved them, who took a bullet for each other, or who witnessed a killing field. The students, supported by their teachers, are speaking out the loudest, organizing on social media and in their schools, and they are determined to turn this moment into a movement.
"I am sickened by those doing the bidding of the gun lobby, and those like President Trump and Betsy DeVos who want an arms race and to turn schools into militarized fortresses by arming teachers. Anyone who wants guns in schools has no understanding of what goes on inside them—or worse, doesn't care. And how dare anyone, especially the president's son, endorse the sick online attacks on the students of Stoneman Douglas? These are kids who experienced huge trauma and are fighting for their lives, and the lives of others.
"Today, our union rededicated ourselves to doing everything we can to protect kids and educators and prevent gun violence in our schools. We support every action being organized. We will be with you in the streets, in our statehouses, in Washington and at the ballot box. We are joining with teachers, students, parents and communities for a national day of action on April 20, the anniversary of the Columbine shooting, to stop gun violence in our schools. We are coming together with those who learn in, teach in, send their kids to and care about public schools, to take a stand."
The full resolution can be read here.
The AFT executive council comprises President Weingarten, Secretary Treasurer Lorretta Johnson, Executive Vice President Mary Cathryn Ricker and 43 AFT vice presidents from across the country.
The AFT represents 1.7 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

A team of scientists from the University of Exeter has developed a new technique that could create a highly sensitive graphene biosensor with the capability to detect molecules of the most common lung cancer biomarkers. This could be the key to unlocking the next generation of advanced, early-stage lung cancer diagnosis.
"We believe that with further development of our devices, a cheap, reusable and accurate breath test for early-stage detection of lung cancer can become a reality."


USS Bluefish (SSN-675), was a Sturgeon-class attack submarine and the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the bluefish.
The contract to build Bluefish was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut, on 15 July 1966 and her keel was laid down there on 13 March 1968. She was launched on 10 January 1970, sponsored by Mrs. David Packard, and commissioned on 8 January 1971 with Commander Richard A. Peterson in command.
Bluefish was decommissioned with Commander Richard C. West in command on 31 May 1996 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register the same day. Her scrapping via the Nuclear-Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program at Puget Sound Navy Yard in Bremerton, Washington, was completed on 1 November 2003.
The Sturgeon-class (colloquially in naval circles, known as the 637-class) were a class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) in service with the United States Navy from the 1960s until 2004. They were the "work horses" of the submarine attack fleet throughout much of the Cold War. The boats were phased out in the 1990s and early 21st century, as their successors, the Los Angeles, followed by the Seawolf and Virginia-class boats, entered service.
The Sturgeons were essentially lengthened and improved variants of the Thresher/Permit class that directly preceded them. The biggest difference was the much larger sail, which permitted the return of intelligence gathering masts to U.S. nuclear submarines. The fairwater planes mounted on the sail could rotate 90 degrees, allowing the submarine to surface through thin ice. Because the S5W reactor was used, the same as in the Skipjacks and Thresher/Permits, and the displacement was increased, the Sturgeons' top speed was 26 knots (48 km/h), 2 knots slower than the Thresher/Permits. The last nine Sturgeons were lengthened 10 feet (3 m) to provide more space for intelligence-gathering equipment and to facilitate the use of dry deck shelters.
They were equipped to carry the Harpoon missile, the Tomahawk cruise missile, the UUM-44 SUBROC, the MK37 SLMM and MK 60 CAPTOR mines, and the MK-48 and ADCAP torpedoes. Torpedo tubes were located amidships to accommodate the bow-mounted sonar. The bow covering the sonar sphere was made from steel or glass reinforced plastic (GRP), both varieties having been produced both booted and not booted. Booted domes are covered with a half-inch layer of rubber. The GRP domes improved the bow sonar sphere performance; though for intelligence gathering missions, the towed-array sonar was normally used as it was a much more sensitive array.
Several Sturgeon boats were modifications of the original designs to test ways to reduce noise.
Narwhal, which was nearly a sub-class of its own, was completed with an S5G reactor which was cooled using natural convection rather than pumps and did not have reduction gears, but utilized a sophisticated multi-stage turbine in an attempt to reduce the noise footprint from the reduction gears. The turbine arrangement was not considered successful because of its complex warm-up and cooldown procedures.
Glenard P. Lipscomb was completed using a large electric motor for main propulsion rather than direct drive from the steam turbines. The Lipscomb's trial of electric propulsion was not considered successful due to lack of reliability and she was decommissioned in 1989.
Puffer was outfitted with Raytheon Harmonic Power Conditioners (a.k.a. "the cloaking device") which eliminated an electrical bus noise problem that was inherent in the class. This was done by harmonic conditioning of the power system. This successful feature was later outfitted on the entire class.
Batfish was outfitted with SHT (special hull treatment) during a non-refueling overhaul, which reduced noise and the submarine sonar profile.
Beginning with Archerfish, units of this class had a 10-foot (3 meter) longer hull, giving them more living and working space than previous submarines. Parche received an additional 100-foot (30 meter) hull extension containing cable tapping equipment that brought her total length to 401 feet (122 m). A number of the long hull Sturgeon-class SSNs, including Parche, Rivers, and Russell were involved in top-secret reconnaissance missions, including cable tap operations in the Barents and Okhotsk seas.
A total of seven boats were modified to carry the SEAL Dry Deck Shelter (DDS). The DDS is a submersible launch hangar with a hyperbaric chamber attached to the ship's weapon shipping hatch. DDS-equipped boats were tasked with the covert insertion of special forces troops.

Brandan Kearney, who seemingly saw his role increasing with Michigan State in this his sophomore season, let Tom Izzo know his intention of transferring shortly after Christmas. it marks just the ninth player to transfer in Izzo's 18 years at Michigan State.
Last year, when Wisconsin's Bo Ryan drew the ire of many by initially blocking 26 schools that Jarrod Uthoff could transfer to, I researched those who have left MSU under Izzo's watch. Here's the updated story with Kearney's information.
Kearney's decision to transfer was the first one in years that really took Izzo by surprise. I would venture to say no transfer has puzzled Izzo as much since Brandon Cotton informed him three games into the season that he was interested in leaving for more playing time.
Nevertheless, like every other Izzo transfer, Kearney said the only restrictions were no other Big Ten schools. (It is assumed that Maryland and Rutgers are now included in that group).
Many outside the program pointed to Kearney as a major X-factor for the Spartans this season because of his versatility. At 6-foot-5, Kearney had the size to be a mismatch for opponents at the shooting guard spot and he was an emergency point guard for Izzo behind Keith Appling, Denzel Valentine and Travis Trice.
"It's one of the more bizarre things I've been involved in with coaching. ...to be honest with you, I was half-shocked. But it happens in this day and age. Everybody's listening to somebody, and everybody's wanting to be something and you've got to work for what you want to be and you've got to earn what you want to be. Maybe he thinks he's a 3-point shooter, I don't know. Maybe he thinks he's somebody else. Usually your role is what you can do, and if he thinks he can do that somewhere else that is what he should do because I don't want someone here who doesn't want to be here. ... we'll miss him, but respect his strange decision."
Obviously, it doesn't take a genius to see how peeved Izzo is. It seems that if Kearney was a bench warmer or getting only a handful of minutes a game Izzo would understand. However, Kearney was a main cog in the rotation averaging 17 minutes a game. (Note: For a non-sixth man, 17 minutes a game is really, really good in Izzo's rotation). But it was transfer business as usual despite Izzo's frustration.
Last year I exchanged tweets with Garrick Sherman, who played for the Spartans in 2009-10 and 2010-11 before transferring to Notre Dame where he's playing this season, and he confirmed Izzo's transfer policy.
Despite "booting" both Chris Allen and Korie Lucious from their respective teams Izzo said he would be working with both players and helping them find a transfer destination.
Including Cotton, Izzo has had eight transfers in the past decade. That is a pretty high number but is the same number Duke's had. That said, seven transfers is nothing compared to Kentucky's 17 and UConn's 14 in the past 10 years.

Q: change the numbering in Beamer's table of content Beamer's table of contents starts with bullet 1.  How can I change that to bullet 0?  The command \setcounter{section}{-1} in the preamble does not help.

A: One would expect that setting \beamer@tocsectionnumber=-1 would be enough (since \beamer@tocsectionnumber is the TeX counter controlling the section number typset in the ToC); however, this is not the case, since \beamer@sectionintoc (defined in beamerbasetoc.sty) has a conditional test using \ifnum\beamer@tempcount>0 which won't allow typesetting non positive numbers in the ToC. The solution is to patch \beamer@sectionintoc and use as conditional test \ifnum\beamer@tempcount>-1:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\beamer@sectionintoc}

With the artisan's hands and the child's soul, Pep Aymerich models the matter and talks with the elements in order to re-find the essence the Self and Nature. In all his creations a deep need for transcendence is glimpsed, with a constant questioning of the human conflict facing the fragility of his existence.
Thus, from the wood he extracts either polished, round, concave forms warmly sheltering the human spirit, or, either conic, ascending ones, trying to reach it. He plays to reflect himself on the stones, his polyhedron gaze is multiplied, it is a caress and it is caressed by them.
Light and water dissolve the forms' stillness to recreate an atemporality towards more ethereal states. In the filmed image he finds also new spaces with sensitive and temporal possibilities for his inner journeys. The mirror reflects his more real self, alluding to a reality of isolation from which he always seeks to wake up from.
His first sculptural objects seek harmony in form and they exude a dazzling luminosity close to the sacred. He later goes more in depth in his almost obsessive inquiry over the self-referential being, shut in himself while questioning his relationship with the environment. Thus, his outdoors sculptures talk to the space itself and incorporate their idea in the landscape while indoor installations recreate absent spots and nature's elements as methaphors for the audience to reflect upon, through experience, about their interaction with the surroundings.
Sometimes playful, his actions and video-creations also show his tireless search towards lucidity, always through his discrete presence and the delicacy of a gesture that caresses with gratitude, with reverence, the sublime of existence.

Proenza Schouler Launches Bold Graphic Tees in Support of Gun Violence Prevention
The fashion label stands in solidarity and support of Americans working together to end gun violence
By Hanan Haddad

Standing alongside the likes of Gucci's Alessandro Michele, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the creative duo behind Proenza Schouler, are making it their mission to fight for gun control, by way of fashion.
The New York-born brand has just announced the launch of two new politically-minded graphic tees, as additions to the existing PSWL (Proenza Schouler White Label), in an effort to raise awareness and support for gun violence prevention.
Available in black short-sleeved and white long-sleeved varieties, the logo design affixed both shirts depicts an image of a gun stamped with a bold red cross.
More than just a wearable statement, the label seeks to give more to the gun-control cause, pledging to donate 100 percent of the PSWL Benefitting Everytown t-shirt proceeds to Everytown, a movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities.
Citing the brand's American establishment, the team behind Proenza says they feel a sense of responsibility to use the platform to speak out for the prevention of future gun-related crimes in the United States.

"As an American company, we believe that every person, young and old, has the right to feel safe at all times," the label released in a statement today. "There have been too many lives lost and voices silenced due to gun violence in the U.S. We have chosen to speak up and have been inspired by Everytown's mission to mobilize for policy change across communities. It is with this intent that we use our platform to support the intersectional principles that we believe in."
Available for purchase online or in-store at Proenza Schouler's 121 Greene Street New York City location, the T-shirts will be sold for $90 each, with all proceeds donated directly to Everytown and the continued fight for gun-control in the United States.

Q: Describing decision in activity-diagram Hy
How can i describe this in a UML activity-diagram?
Latest (earliest_start_date, Earliest (latest_start_date, start_date))
that means: choose the earliest from latest_start_date and start_date and use earliest_start_date if its later then the result of the previous decision.
I tried it with the diamonds but i think i need a bit more.
I hope you can help me
Thanks.

A: The most complicate part is that decision nodes pass along to the chosen edge the token (i.e. "value") that they received, then you need to make explicit that the value has changed depending on which branch was executed. If you are modelling start_date as an object flow (where the value of start_date flows through the diagram) and earliest_start_date and latest_start_date are in-scope variables or constants, you may represent the operation as:

(Note that I assumed that earliest<latest in order to simplify the branches)
The upper "diamond" is a decision node. One of the three branches is selected, depending on the branch (i.e. condition) that is given between brackets for each edge. The lower diamond is a merge node (where the alternative execution paths meet). In the notation of the guards I assumed that the < operator is applicable to the type of start_date.
Another approach is writing a transformation that represents the operation. In this case the input of ActionState2 will be the result of the transformation, where start_date is the output of ActionState1.

A third approach is writing the operation as a postcondition of the action where such calculation is performed (i.e. a Constraint with stereotype «postcondition»attached to the action).
If Latest and Earliest are defined as functions in your model, the postcondition is:
result = Latest (earliest_start_date,
                  Earliest (latest_start_date, start_date))

If the type of start_date defines min and max, the postcondition may be written as:
result = min(Set{latest_start_date,
             max(Set{earliest_start_date,start_date})});

(i.e. the minimum value of a set composed by a) the latest_start_date, b) the maximum value of set composed by the earliest_start_date and the start_date.
If the < operator is defined for the type of start_date, the postcondition is:
result = if start_date<earliest_start_date
            then earliest_start_date
            else
              if start_data>latest_start_date
                then latest_start_date
                else start_date
              endif
          endif

You may also represent it as a ConditionalNode (a structured activity node that chooses one among some number of alternatives), but there is no standard notation defined for ConditionalNodes.


Easily grown in light, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerant of poor, sandy soils, heat, drought, and salt spray. Surprising tolerance for some part shade. Can be propagated easily from basal offsets.
Yucca filamentosa, commonly called Adam's needle, Spanish bayonet, yucca and needle palm, is a virtually stemless broadleaf evergreen shrub (though it looks more like a perennial than a shrub) that is native to beaches, sand dunes and fields from South Carolina south to Florida and Mississippi. It has escaped cultivation and extended its original range north into New England. It features a basal rosette of rigid, sword-shaped, spine-tipped green leaves (to 30" long and to 4" wide) with long filamentous (as per specific epithet) curly threads along the margins. Leaves form a foliage clump to 2-3' tall. In late spring, a flowering stalk rises from the center of each rosette, typically to 5-8' tall, but infrequently to 12' tall, bearing a long terminal panicles of nodding bell-shaped creamy white flowers. Fruits are elliptical dehiscent capsules. Will form a small colony over time from basal offsets.
Genus name comes from the Carbi name for manihot, also called cassava or yuca, which is not closely related but has similarly enlarged root structures.
Specific epithet means with filaments or threads.
'Color Guard' is a gold-centered variegated form. It features leaves with green margins and striking creamy gold centers. Long filamentous curly white threads are found along the leaf margins.
No serious insect or disease problems. Deer tend to avoid this plant.
Borders. Dry garden areas. Dry slopes. Adds architectural height. Also may be grown in large containers. Suitable for seaside gardens or areas which receive road salt runoff.


This paper presents an integrated approach, combining a state-of-the-art commercial object detection system and genetic algorithms (GA)-based learning for automatic object classification. Specifically, the approach is based on applying weighted nearest neighbor classification to feature vectors extracted from the detected objects, where the weights are evolved due to GA-based learning. Our results demonstrate that this GA-based approach is considerably superior to other standard classification methods.
A preliminary version of this paper appeared in Proceedings of the 2010 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference.

Home › Drama › Roma
By cjatthemovies9 on December 3, 2018 • ( 0 )
One of the most talked about movies of the season has to be "Roma," the latest masterpiece from director Alfonso Cuaron ("Children of Men," "Gravity"), who shows us the harsh realities of Mexico City during the 1970s. But really he shows us one woman's point of view-the issues she deals with and the people she takes care of. It's not what I expected, because it turns out to be even better.
Newcomer Yalitza Aparicio is phenomenal in every way as Cleo, a housekeeper for a family, consisting of the mother Sofia (Marina de Tavira), her husband Antonio (Fernando Grediaga) their four kids (Marco Graf as Pepe, Daniela Demesa as Sofi, Diego Cortina Autrey as Tono, and Carlos Peralta as Paco), and her mother Teresa (Veronica Garcia); and Cleo' friend and co-worker is Adela (Nancy Garcia Garcia).
Cleo finds out she's pregnant, and when she tells her martial artist boyfriend Fermín (Jorge Antonio Guerrero), he dumps her. At least, Sofia is supportive of her, while struggling to keep her patience, when her husband's business trip was nothing but a lie.
"Roma" is a beautiful film about society in Mexico City, and their feelings and environments, but more importantly, it's about one woman. Cleo is never abused, and she keeps her dignity. Aparicio may claim she isn't an actress, but she still deserves an Oscar nomination. And de Tavira packs an emotional punch as the mother, who loves her family, as well as her maids.
The movie also features a cavalcade of radiant images. We have forest fires, when the people are grabbing buckets of water; the Corpus Christi protests, when people were getting murdered and injured; and we have an ocean scene, which I can't spoil, but must say: it's provocative. To me, the best comes from the opening credits when Cleo is pressing soapy water on the marble floors, while cleaning them. What an intro!
In black and white, the images presented here look magnificent. It captures the tone and scope of "Roma," and we're able to resonate with the drama presented here, without going overboard. And when we see a black and white movie like this, we know it's gonna be epic.
As the editor, producer, writer, and director Alfonso Cuaron has outdone himself in every way possible. As you know, he's from Mexico City, so he captures the beauty of the city, while introducing us to people we may or may not have seen before. I guarantee you: zero cliches.
Because it's about foreigners, and their harsh environments and true personas, this is probably the best movie of its kind since "Slumdog Millionaire."
This needs to be seen…….ASAP!

Q: Python Requests with Django Rest Framework - 'detail': 'Authentication credentials were not provided' I've got a tiny function that just looks to get a response from my DRF API Endpoint.
My DRF settings look like this:
    "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES": [
        # Enabling this it will require Django Session (Including CSRF)
        "rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication"
    ],
    "DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES": [
        # Globally only allow IsAuthenticated users access to API Endpoints
        "rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated"
    ],

I'm using this to try and hit the endpoint:
def get_car_details(car_id):
    headers = {"X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"}
    api_app = "http://localhost:8000/"
    api_model = "cars/"
    response = requests.get(api_app + api_model + str(car_id), headers=headers)
    json_response = response.json()
    return json_response

I keep getting 'detail': 'Authentication credentials were not provided'
Do I need to generate a CSRF token and include it in a GET request? The only time this gets hit is when a user goes to a view that requires they are logged in. Is there a way to pass that logged-in user to the endpoint??

A: When you make your request from the get_car_details function you need to be sure that the request is authenticated. This does not look like a CSRF issue.
When using session based authentication a session cookie is passed back after logging in. So before you call get_car_details you would need to first make a request to login, keep that session, and use that session when calling the API.
Requests has a session class requests.Session() that you can use for this purpose. Details here: https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/
Many people find token based authentication easier partly a session cookie does not need to be maintained.


S.Korea recently put up loudspeakers in 11 locations along the tense border to resume broadcasts that had been suspended in 2004. The installation of the loudspeakers amounted to "a direct declaration of a war" and a "flagrant violation" of the inter-Korean declaration for peace and reconciliation signed in 2000, the North's statement went on.
"Therefore, the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK will launch an all-out military strike to blow up the group's means for the psychological warfare," it said. The North has repeatedly threatened to strike down the loudspeakers if Seoul goes ahead with the broadcasts.

Metric "Strange Weather" (Tom Waits cover)
By Sarah Murphy
Toronto indie rock favourites Metric have finally announced the details of their upcoming LP Synthetica, which is due out on June 12 through the band's own Metric Music International.
Despite the exciting news, we've yet to hear the new material, so their cover of Tom Waits' "Strange Weather" comes as a welcome surprise. The group stopped by the WFUV studio in New York to record a piano-driven rendition of the Waits tune and you can check it out in the video below.

The multimeter is a device that has many uses, but it's frequently used to check the voltage of various automotive parts. It can be used to diagnose malfunctioning parts and offers very accurate readings. A multimeter is ideal for reading amps, bolts and ohms, so it's perfect for reading a wide range of electrical values.
The purpose of this electronic device is to measure the flow of electrical current across multiple terminals. Depending on the specific features of your model, it can even be used to measure the voltage flowing through many different electrical components.
Although it might seem complex, a multimeter is actually very easy to use. In most situations, you'll need to attach the meter's positive and negative test wires to the terminals on the electrical component that you wish to test.
A lot of people find the multimeter confusing because you have to set the dial for the correct settings for each specific application. If you're looking for the best multimeter, we've selected the top 10 best multimeters on the market, so you can choose the model that fits your individual needs.
For our first choice, we went with the Firekingdom Best-9205m. It comes with an integrated CMOS circuit and has an on/off beeping alarm function, which many other models don't have.
With a maximum display value of 1999, you'll find this model sufficient for most electrical tests. The Firekingdom Best-9205m has a great capacitance range and delivers the accuracy that you should expect from a multimeter.
The package comes with one battery, one certificate, one manual and two probes. It displays low voltage and even has a feature that prevents accidental shock. The display screen is large and provides accurate readings. This is one of the best multimeters for the money.
The next product on the list is the Fluke 115, and it offers many featured that you'll never get from cheaper models. However, you must be prepared to spend a lot more money for this model.
The Fluke 115 lets you check diodes, capacitance, frequency and continuity, which cannot be checked with many of the cheaper multimeters. This particular model measures 20 A and uses True-RMS for accurate results.
The True-RMS feature is especially great for increasing accuracy when measuring non-linear loads. Since the Fluke 115 is CAT III 600 V safety rated, you don't have to worry about accidental shock. For easier reading in darker areas, it has a large white LED backlight.
If you're looking for an affordable, accurate multimeter, then consider the Flexzion Digital LCD Multimeter. To preserve battery life, it has an auto-shutoff feature. For easier reading, it uses automatic polarity indication. A continuity tester is built into the circuit and makes those difficult components easier to read.
If you're looking for an affordable digital multimeter and need to discover a part's electrical current, this could be the perfect model for your needs. With a large LCD screen, the Flexzion Digital LCD Multimeter makes measurements much easier to read. It's an excellent multimeter to have in the house when you need to gather technical data for a home repair.
As a slightly more expensive model, the INNOVA 3320 does have a bit more to offer than cheaper models. It's one of the best multimeters for automatic purposes, so if you need a multimeter for preventive vehicle maintenance and repair, then this could be a great product.
Since it is UL certified, the INNOVA 3320 is ideal for accurately and safely diagnosing a wide range of electrical and automotive issues. With auto-ranging scales, the INNOVA 3320 eliminates the need to dial in the applicable range while measuring electrical current. It uses color coded LEDs and features a huge LED display.
The bright LEDs will even tell you how much battery life the device has left. For easier reading of DC and AC voltages, there is a single-setting resistance function. You don't even have to worry about dropping this product because it has protective rubber corner guards.
One of the best multimeters for convenience is the Fluke 323. It can measure up to 400 amps of AC current or 600V of DC voltage with its special clamp.
If you ever find yourself measuring non-linear loads, the Fluke 323 is perfect for the job because it uses True RMS sensing. In other words, it provides readings that are more accurate for non-linear loads.
The jaw opening can measure the current inside of a conductor while never interrupting or touching the circuit. An audible continuity sensor lets you know that the circuit is conducting electricity. The Fluke 323 is a versatile unit because it's rated for a wide range of electrical applications.
The one multimeter to rule them all is the Fluke 87-V. Although it's made from plastic, it's an extremely durable product. For maximum flexibility, it features manual and auto ranging.
A great feature that the Fluke 87-V has makes it much easier to read unstable or fast changing electrical signals. The analog bar graph allows you to read fast currents that many other multimeters cannot read. It has selectable filters, so you can read accurate voltage.
An input alert jack produces loud warnings when you're using the wrong input jacks. Fluke meters are regarded as the best meters on the market. The Fluke 87-V lives up to the name and delivers unmatched performance.
A great model for electricians is the Fluke 117. Unfortunately, it doesn't include a holster, but it delivers all of the other features that you could want from a multimeter.
Like other multimeters, it uses True-RMS technology to make reading non-linear loads much easier. The large LED screen is very easy to read and has white backlighting. It's an ideal multimeter for commercial applications, and it's especially useful for demanding settings.
The Fluke 117 provides the richest feature set of the Fluke line of multimeters, and although it's quite small, it doesn't lack any important features. Overall, it's a great model for electricians but can work well for any application.
Although not nearly as well-known as Fluke, Klein Tools produces quality multimeters, and the MM700 is a great example. It's one of the best multimeters that you can buy for troubleshooting electrical problems.
The MM700 excels when used for household and industrial equipment. You can use it to measure the electrical current flowing through wiring systems, power supplies, domestic appliances, motor controls and other types of electronic equipment.
It can be used to measure AC and DC voltage and provides very accurate readings for resistance and DC current. It comes with a CAT IV 600V Safety Rating and is built to withstand a 2 meter drop and daily wear and tear.
The Mastech MS8268 is a great product if you're looking for a cheap digital multimeter. It uses an audible sound to let you know when the banana jacks aren't being used with the correct setting.
To provide better flexibility, the Mastech MS8268 lets you choose between manual and auto ranging. If the need arises, it allows you to reset certain ranges, and to preserve battery life, it has a built-in auto-shutoff feature. Despite its low price, this particular multimeter doesn't feel cheap.
A pair of ergonomic grips makes it easier to hold and prevent accidental drops. One of the only downsides is the slowness of the auto ranging feature. However, for the price, you'll see that this digital multimeter has plenty to offer.
Another top product is the Extech EX330. With a built-in, non-contact AC voltage detector, you'll find measurements are much easier to take. The 4000-count auto-ranging multimeter makes it easy to measure DC and AC voltages, duty cycles, frequency and resistance.
The Extech EX 330 even has a built-in thermometer, so you can read temperatures. You won't find many other multimeters that have this capability. A rubber holster protects the meter from accidental damage and lets you safely store it away while it's not in use.
The Type-K temperature probe lets you measure the temperature of many different components, which makes troubleshooting much easier. The thermometer probe is especially handy for measuring temperatures inside of a bathroom ceiling fan.
With the relative function, you can compare live measurements with stored reference values. The Extech EX330 is even perfect for testing the AC wall outlets inside of your home. Overall, this multimeter delivers great value for the money, and with the bonus temperature probe, you can test the safety of household appliances and prevent a fire from occurring.

But what is raspberry butter, you're wondering?
The answer is that, traditionally, country people used to use up surplus summer fruits by making fruit cheeses. Damsons, for instance, can be cooked long and slow until they are concentrated into a thick, cheese-like consistency. Fruit butters are similar, but not quite so thick. This version, made with raspberries, has all the concentrated flavour and aroma of the fruit, perfect for piling on to scones with generous amounts of clotted cream.
Then pour it into a serving dish and leave to one side to cool and set for at least an hour. Serve thickly spread on scones (see below for recipe), with lots of clotted cream.
Raspberry butter can be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.

In a market as competitive as the cosmetics, innovative packaging is what sets one apart from the crowd. Having an eye-catching packaging can really make or break a cosmetic product. Even though the packaging is not the only thing that one would consider when choosing a product, it is definitely a great way to grab attention.
When you really want to stand out on the shelves, elaborate and colorful cosmetics packaging is just the trick to try. The global cosmetic industry is full of bright and attractive packaging designs. It is indeed hard to pick just five.
We bring to you the top five hand-picked examples of the most creative beauty packaging designs.
This British-based store may not be on top of your list of cosmetics brands, but the packaging definitely makes it worth looking at. There is a quaint hand drawn quality to the simple packaging design.
The minimalist design, created by Sarah Thorne makes use of Matt finish details, take its cue from Topshop's trademark design aesthetics. Where we feel packaging lacks is its slightly childish stripes and dots pattern.
This is what we like to call an iconic cosmetics packaging. The slender, elegant and classy bottle immediately stands out everywhere. The Dior Packaging Department definitely knows how to make a statement.
The simple and classic design elements, incorporating aspects of contemporary design styles, makes this packaging design a lesson for cosmetics designers everywhere.
When you package a blush to look like a delicate little rose, you know you have hit cosmetics packaging jackpot. The Face Color Rose Ladurée Mini is something of a cosmetics packaging genius indeed.
However, stunning packaging idea aside, the design does have its limitations in the user experience department. The delicate petals most definitely requires some getting used to. You can't really call it the most user-friendly packaging.
The hammered metal handle and chunky bottles come with the coolest looking nail paint shades ever. The edgy and attractive cosmetics packaging designs are the brainchild of Dineh Mohajer, who rocked the cosmetics industry with her iconic brand Hard Candy.
An extra point goes to Smith & Cult for their absolutely fantastic and imaginative names. After all, getting clever with product names is all part of a great user experience!
The reason this beauty product tops the list as the most attractive cosmetics packaging design, is because of the illusion it creates. At first glance the palette might look like an everyday journal, it is when you lift the beautiful floral printed cover that you encounter the most luxurious shades of eye-shadow.
Unlike the tremendous delicacy of the Face Color Rose Ladurée Mini, the use experience of the classic palette design of this product is much better. It incorporates the best of visual stimulation with simplicity of use, making it worth the premium position in this list.

Even a small design change can significantly improve the user experience (and your business). We make sure that your users enjoy interacting with the design and they achieve their goals effectively.
We offer two different feedback options: Standard and Premium. In the Standard Design Feedback, we thoroughly review your design for usability issues & areas for improvement. You receive a detailed & visual feedback with recommendations. The cost is only $39.99.
In the Premium Design Feedback, in addition to thoroughly reviewing your design for usability issues & areas for improvement, we also test your design on different devices & screen sizes (Desktop, Tablet & Mobile). We also compare your design with up to 4 of your competitors. You receive a detailed & visual feedback with recommendations. The cost is only $99.99.
We also provide a few quick pointers on your website design absolutely FREE!
What type of designs you can send for review?
We primarily review all types of websites (Desktop and Mobile), web applications, web interfaces, mockups, wireframes and logos. Any other kind of designs such as, posters and marketing materials can also be reviewed.
Why to review with experts?
The reason is simple – You want a constructive feedback, something which could easily be implemented and be effective. The feedback we provide is clear and concise. Unlike getting generic feedback from random users, experts feedback is very much focused, unbiased, independent and to the point.
After you submit your site and pay, we start looking at your design almost immediately and provide you with a feedback in around 24 to 48 hours, sometimes as quickly as a few hours. Visual and detailed design feedback requests get priority over FREE feedback service.
What kind of feedback should you expect?
To make it more effective and understandable, feedback we provide is mostly visual as well as written. Instead of writing long and endless paragraphs, we try to show you design issues and recommendations visually. You will receive a feedback summary and a link to view your design feedback in your email.
Yes! You receive a secure and private feedback. Your feedback link is not accessible to anyone other than you and your shared contacts.
And finally, what if you are not satisfied with feedback?
Very unlikely, but if it happens, just write back to us and we will do a full refund. Absolutely no questions asked. Let us know what we could have done better.

Opinion: Absurd economic theory simply contorts the truth
By Matt O'BrienThe Washington Post
One of the more depressing things right now is that, in at least a few important ways, it seems like George Orwell's "1984" might have been more optimistic than our own 2019.
Chief among them is the fact that he thought it would take a totalitarian state to create the kind of propaganda apparatus that would try to rewrite the past. We now know that all you need is a shamelessly partisan news organization.
What else can we say about the fact that various right-wing talking heads are now saying that former President Barack Obama, who took office in 2009, was to blame for the Great Recession, which began in 2007? Either they don't believe in a linear theory of time, don't understand the first thing about economics, or are just willing to say whatever they think is in the best interests of the Republican Party at any particular moment.
None of this, of course, is exactly new. It's been going on ever since Obama stepped into the White House in the middle of what was the worst economic crisis in nearly 80 years. Which is why it should be no surprise that Art Laffer, the conservative economist who was just awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his role in popularizing the mostly false idea that tax cuts can pay for themselves, returned to this theme just a few months ago. Laffer told Fox News he thought Obama "was the reason we had the Great Recession," since, in what might be the ultimate example of confusing correlation for causation, "as he got closer and closer to winning, the markets collapsed."
Fox Business host Charles Payne, for his part, said much the same thing just a few days ago, when he claimed the steep stock market sell-off in late 2008 and early 2009 had been Wall Street's "knee-jerk reaction" to the prospects of an Obama presidency.
It's hard to believe this needs to be said, but apparently it does: Obama's election in 2008 didn't cause banks to invent time machines so they could make a lot of bad loans in 2005. Because that last part is what actually happened. As everyone who doesn't work at Fox News probably remembers, there was a massive housing bubble back then that was both a cause and an effect of almost nonexistent lending standards.
The problem, though, wasn't just that there were so many losses when all of this inevitably went bad, but also that it wasn't clear who was on the hook for how many of them. The result was a worldwide bank run — there were bubbles in other countries, too — that brought the global economy to the brink of complete collapse.
It's worth taking a minute, then, to reflect on just how ridiculous this right-wing alternate history is. According to Laffer, the crisis wasn't actually about people's (very legitimate) fears that the financial system might go under, but rather that their taxes might go up. It's a theory that only makes sense as long as you don't think about it. After all, if markets had solely crashed because they were afraid of Obama's redistributionist agenda, then why did they rally to set new all-time highs when he actually started to implement it?
And if this really was all about U.S. tax policy, then why did markets fall in the rest of the world, too? Did Iceland go bankrupt in 2008 due to the repercussions of America's top tax rate going up from 35 to 39.6 percent?
These questions answer themselves as long as you want them to. The problem is that a lot of conservatives don't. They don't want to admit that sometimes markets fail, or that cutting taxes for the rich isn't some economic elixir. (Indeed, things didn't fall apart when Bill Clinton and Obama raised the top tax rate, nor did they suddenly get better after George W. Bush and Donald Trump cut it.)
Even more to the point, though, they might not want to say anything that would undermine what, judging by his tweets, looks like it will be one of Trump's top arguments in the 2020 election: that stocks would supposedly crash "the likes of which has not been seen before" if a Democrat replaced him. And so they say that it happened before, even if it means trying to contort the truth in the most ahistoric ways possible.
No Big Brother required.

May was another big month for the Calgary real estate market, with a record number of home and condo sales in the city.
In addition, while the number of home listings is nearly 12% lower than the same time last year, listing inventory for homes has finally started to increase. This is expected to continue through the summer months. Listing inventory for Calgary condos is now 10% higher than last June.
Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 at 1:40pm.
Calgary's real estate market recorded yet another record month in March, with sale numbers & prices up in all segments.
CREB®'s chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie says the continued growth in the Calgary real estate market is a result of "the inflow of people to our province over the past 2 years combined with strong gains in employment and tight rental conditions".
Demand for property continues to be stronger than anything seen in seven years, and present listing inventory levels are lower than at anytime since 2006.
Monday, March 17th, 2014 at 6:47pm.
Calgary's real estate market continued to fire on all cylinders through the first 15 days of March, with sale numbers & prices up in both the home and condo segments. BMO Capital Markets released a report Friday which suggested Alberta was bound for another housing boom, but not at the frenzied pace seen in 2006/2007.
The pace of growth in Alberta's economy today, while "clearly superior" and "head and shoulders above the rest of the country", does not match that seen in 2006.
Demand for property continues to be stronger than anything seen since 2007, and while inventory levels are lower than at anytime since then, they are still higher than they were during the peak.
Saturday, March 1st, 2014 at 8:33pm.
(Calgary March 1, 2014) Low listing inventory continued to put pressure on Calgary property prices in February, resulting in double digit increases in both home and condo prices. Buyers are desperate in price ranges under $600,000, where listing inventory is now only 1 month. 21% of all Calgary homes sales in February sold for over list price as property listing inventory fell 19% below levels seen same time last year.
Prices for Calgary homes rose 10% vs a year ago, while condos sold for 15% more in February. Combined home & condo sales volume rose 9%, with condo sales increasing by 25% while homes sales were up 2% versus February 2013.
Sunday, February 16th, 2014 at 3:26pm.
Canada's quickly growing cities are grabbing more attention in the past few years than ever. Cities such as Calgary and Toronto are making headlines worldwide. While recently attention has been understandably focused on Toronto's ongoing mayor scandal, business networks continue referring to Canadian cities when recommending investment opportunities.
Sunday, February 2nd, 2014 at 2:33pm.
(Calgary February 2, 2014) MLS® sales and prices for Calgary real estate started 2014 with the same momentum showed in 2013. Prices for Calgary homes rose 5.4%, while condos sold for 16.4% more in January. Combined sales volume rose 17%, with condo sales increasing by a whopping 33%. Calgary home sales rose 11% versus the same period last year.
Average or Median Sale Price?
Saturday, December 14th, 2013 at 3:10pm.
Ever wonder why the media and real estate boards quote average prices rather than the median sale price of homes? The reason is because headlines with higher numbers grab far more attention.
Average and median home prices are usually very different. Sale prices aren't evenly distributed because there are large gaps in price between the least and most expensive homes. This price gap skews the average price even moreso in larger statistical groups such as the average home price of an entire city.
Fully two-thirds of all Calgary houses sold in November sold for less than the city's average sale price of $516,447. Only 1% of all Northeast Calgary homes sold for more than the average sale price for the entire city.

Israel's cuts of fuel and electricity to Gaza, set to escalate today, amount to collective punishment of the civilian population, and violate Israel's obligations under the laws of war, Human Rights Watch said today.
These cuts, which Israel says are intended to pressure Palestinian armed groups to end their unlawful rocket attacks against civilians in southern Israel, are having a grave impact on Gaza's hospitals, water-pumping stations, sewage-treatment facilities, and other infrastructure essential for the well-being of Gaza's population.
Starting today, Israel will reduce the electricity it sells directly to Gaza by 1.5 megawatts over the next three weeks. This adds to a series of Israeli measures since 2006 that have caused a 20 percent shortfall in Gaza's electricity needs. The Israeli Supreme Court approved the most recent cuts last week, rejecting a petition by 10 Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups.
Human Rights Watch said that indiscriminate Palestinian rocket and suicide bomb attacks against Israeli civilians constitute war crimes, but Israel's attempts to suppress those attacks must not also violate international humanitarian law.
Israeli officials have implicitly acknowledged that the fuel and electricity cuts amount to collective punishment. "There is no justification for demanding we allow residents of Gaza to live normal lives while shells and rockets are fired from their streets and courtyards at Sderot and other communities in the south," Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on January 24.
Israel normally sells to Gaza 120 megawatts of electricity per day, delivered by 10 feeder lines across the border. Gaza's sole power plant currently produces 55 megawatts. Its full capacity is 100 megawatts, but a 2006 Israeli Air Force attack and subsequent fuel restrictions have prevented the plant from operating at capacity. An additional 17 megawatts come from Egypt.
The electricity that Israel sells to Gaza is paid for by taxes that Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. In addition, the Israeli company Dor Alon sells the industrial fuel on which Gaza's power plant depends. The funds for these purchases come from the European Union.
According to the United Nations, Gaza requires roughly 240 megawatts of power per day during the winter. The 48 megawatt deficit has forced the Gaza Electricity Distribution Company to institute rolling blackouts of up to eight hours per day in most areas. In addition to private homes, these blackouts affect hospitals, water pumps, schools and sewage-treatment facilities without distinction. Further cuts of industrial diesel fuel for Gaza's power plant will make the deficit grow.
During power outages, hospitals and health clinics rely on generators that require regular diesel fuel, as do residential buildings. Restrictions on the supply of diesel in recent months and prohibitively high prices have limited the use of generators. Citing security concerns, Israel has restricted the import of spare parts to repair overused generators. At Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital, power surges following outages have caused equipment to break.
The problems have been exacerbated by a strike of the Gaza Petrol Station Owners Union, which from January 16 to February 5 refused to distribute some fuel sold by Israel out of protest to the cuts. The union deputy head told Human Rights Watch that, while they blocked delivery of gasoline for cars and regular diesel, which would affect generator use, they did not restrict cooking gas or the industrial diesel fuel used by the power plant. He said the union also delivered diesel fuel as fast as possible to all hospitals that requested it, but poor communication and mismanagement of government institutions at times made delivery difficult.
The authorities in Gaza also have obligations to ensure the well-being of the civilian population under its control, including facilitating the delivery of humanitarian supplies, Human Rights Watch said.
Israel claims the cuts are not depriving Palestinians in Gaza of their "essential humanitarian needs." But Human Rights Watch, as well as major humanitarian agencies, says that civilians are paying a heavy price.
• Due to a partially functioning wastewater system, up to 40 million liters of untreated sewage were being dumped daily into the Mediterranean Sea.
On January 25, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) called the humanitarian situation in Gaza "critical." A health worker for the ICRC said hospitals in Gaza were cold because the heating units had been switched off to conserve fuel, and the gas to cook meals for patients and staff was running low. One patient on a ventilator at Ahli Arab hospital died while the hospital switched from the power plant to its generator during a blackout.
A report by the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 21 expressed deep concern. "Whilst the frequency of electricity cuts and limited power available to run hospital generators is extremely serious for all hospital services, its impact is particularly felt in intensive care units, operation theatres and emergency rooms," the report said. As of January 21, three out of the 11 Ministry of Health hospitals were facing "severe shortages of fuel," the WHO said.
On February 6, Human Rights Watch visited the al-Nasser Pediatric Hospital and the Psychiatric Hospital in Gaza City. Both facilities were facing average daily blackouts of nine hours, forcing them to rely on backup generators. The pediatric hospital had enough diesel fuel to run its generator for nine hours. The psychiatric hospital had enough fuel for four hours of generator use.
On January 25, the pediatric hospital ran out of diesel fuel entirely, the director said. The hospital had to close the X-ray department, diagnostic lab, and its four general pediatric wards, keeping open only the intensive care unit and the department with incubators, thanks to a smaller reserve generator.
A diesel truck that the hospital uses to transport food, laundry, and blood samples has not been in operation for the past week, the director said.
The deputy head of the petrol station owners' union said the hospital had not contacted the union to request a delivery.
Israel's pressure on Gaza's civilians began after Hamas took over the Palestinian Authority in March 2006, following its electoral victory the previous January. Since then, Israel has increasingly limited the flow of people and goods into and out of the territory.
Israel further clamped down on the movement of goods and people after Hamas violently seized power in Gaza from Fatah in June 2007. Israel also imposed restrictions on people with emergency medical needs who need care only available outside Gaza. The border closures have forced 85 percent of Gaza's factories to close or to operate at less than 20 percent of their capacity, frozen 95 percent of construction projects, and driven unemployment to record highs. Eighty percent of the population relies on food aid.
The Israeli government says the border closures and fuel and electricity cuts are in response to ongoing indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israel by Palestinian armed groups. On February 3, in the first suicide attack in a year, a suicide bomber from Hamas killed a 73-year-old Israeli woman and injured 11 in a shopping area in the town of Dimona. Israel retaliated the next day by killing nine Hamas militants in Gaza.
Human Rights Watch has repeatedly condemned suicide-bombing attacks that target civilians as war crimes.
According to the latest statistics provided by the United Nations, during the third week of January, Palestinian armed groups in Gaza fired 147 Qassam rockets and 82 mortars toward Israel, injuring three Israeli civilians. During that same time, Israeli military operations from the ground and air killed 23 Palestinians and wounded 70 inside Gaza. At least seven of the dead and 40 of the wounded were civilians, although the information from the UN was inadequate to determine whether those casualties resulted from any Israeli violations of international humanitarian law.
Human Rights Watch said that cutting fuel or electricity to the civilian population violates a basic principle of international humanitarian law, or the laws of war, which prohibit a government that has effective control over a territory from attacking or withholding objects that are essential to the survival of the civilian population. Such an act would also violate Israel's duty as an occupying power to safeguard the health and welfare of the population under occupation.
Israel withdrew its military forces and settlers from the Gaza Strip in 2005. Nonetheless, Israel remains responsible for ensuring the well-being of Gaza's population for as long as, and to the extent that, it retains effective control over the area. Israel still exercises control over Gaza's airspace, sea space and land borders, as well as its electricity, water, sewage and telecommunications networks and population registry. In addition, Israeli military forces can and have re-entered Gaza at will.
Article 55 of the Fourth Geneva Convention places a duty on an occupying power to ensure the food and medical supplies of the population, as well as to permit and facilitate the consignments of humanitarian relief. In the conduct of a conflict, each party must allow and facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief to civilians. A deliberate refusal to permit access to these supplies in response to military action can constitute collective punishment or an illegal reprisal against the civilian population.
Collective punishments are prohibited as a matter of customary international law in all forms of conflict. Under article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which governs occupations, collective punishments and all measures of intimidation are explicitly prohibited. Reprisals against civilians and their property are also prohibited under both customary law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Israel's policy of reducing Gaza's electricity began in June 2006, after a Palestinian armed group from Gaza captured the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. On June 28, the Israeli Air Force fired eight missiles at Gaza's sole power plant, rendering the plant's six transformers inoperable. Israel subsequently delayed or blocked the delivery of material needed to repair the plant. Today, the plant is capable of producing at 80 percent of its former capacity (80 megawatts per day out of an original capacity of 100 megawatts).
The pressure intensified after Hamas took control of Gaza by force in June 2007. On September 19, the Israeli cabinet declared Gaza a "hostile territory" and decided to restrict "the passage of people to and from Gaza" and to reduce supplies of fuel and electricity.
On October 28, a group of 10 Palestinian and Israeli human rights groups petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court, seeking an injunction against the fuel and electricity cuts, which they said, among other concerns, amounted to collective punishment. The court rejected the injunction request as it applied to deliveries of fuel, and Israel began to reduce its deliveries of EU-funded diesel fuel to the power plant from 2.2 million liters per week to 1.75 million liters. At the time, the power plant had 3.5 million liters of reserves to compensate for the reduced supply in diesel fuel.
On November 29, in an interim decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the fuel cuts could continue because they would not cause a humanitarian crisis. At the same time, it requested more information from the state before the electricity cuts could proceed.
On January 5, the low level of industrial diesel fuel reserves at the power plant forced a reduction in output. On January 18, following a surge in fighting between Israeli forces and armed Palestinian groups, Israel fully closed its borders with Gaza, denying the delivery of all food, medicine, and fuel, including humanitarian aid. On January 20, the reserves ran out and the plant stopped production altogether for two days. Two days later, the plant restarted at partial capacity after Israel allowed restricted fuel and limited humanitarian deliveries. On January 23, Hamas helped Palestinians break through sections of the wall and fence separating Gaza and Egypt, to the west of Rafah, allowing tens of thousands of Palestinians to flood into Egypt, where they bought goods, many of them essential, including fuel. Egyptian forces, with cooperation from Hamas, resealed the border on February 3.
The temporary border breach did not change Gaza's near-total dependence on Israel for fuel and electricity, nor could it, given the time it takes to develop alternative energy supplies. Israel still allows fuel deliveries to come only through its Nahal Oz crossing with Gaza.
The ruling garnered little media coverage in Israel because that same day the Winograd Commission, which looked into Israel's conduct of the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, released its much-anticipated final report.
• Cut supplies of diesel fuel to 800,000 liters a week (compared with 1.4 million in October 2007).
The Supreme Court accepted without challenge the state's proposal to maintain a "minimum humanitarian standard," which has no basis in international humanitarian law. Israel has never defined what constitutes Gaza's minimum humanitarian needs, nor how it will determine if those needs were not being met. The government's proposal is also not the appropriate standard for such a long-term occupation as Gaza's.
The court had said that two Palestinian utility officials, Rafiq Maliha, project manager at Gaza's Power Generating Company, and Nedal Touman, an official from Gaza's Electrical Distribution Company, could testify at the January 30 hearing regarding the affidavits they had submitted about the effects of the cuts on their operations. But on that day, the Israeli military prevented them from crossing into Israel in time to testify.
Rafiq Maliha told Human Rights Watch that both men arrived at the Erez crossing at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the hearing, but they were not allowed to cross into Israel until 11:30 a.m.

Renaldo et Clara (Renaldo and Clara) est un film américain réalisé en 1978 par Bob Dylan, le seul réalisé par le chanteur. Y apparaissent notamment Bob Dylan lui-même, Sara Dylan, Joan Baez ou encore Allen Ginsberg. Le film mêle captation de concerts, séquences documentaires, interviews et bribes de fiction.

Lors de sa sortie en salles en 1978 à New-York et Los Angeles dans un montage de près de quatre heures, Renaldo et Clara a été mal reçu par la critique et s'est vu sortir des écrans après quelques semaines. Une nouvelle version de deux heures est sortie peu après. Le film a été diffusé sur quelques chaînes de télévision européennes (ZDF et Channel 4 notamment), puis Dylan l'a retiré de la distribution. Il n'a depuis jamais été édité en DVD / Blu-ray et seules des copies pirates de VHS sont disponibles sur internet.
