"I don't have the energy to lead the country." New Zealand's Prime Minister announces her intention to resign
The visit of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian to Damascus and then to Ankara during the past few days was not "usual" for many observers, as it was "surprising" and coincided with the progress of the rapprochement between Turkey and the Syrian regime under the banner of Moscow, while the official stressed that his country's role in any "Syrian solution" was remarkable for its focus on "Astana", and Tehran's intention to use the formula of this longer Syrian track update.
The idea of "modernization" or the modification of the formula is that "Syria" is involved in a reference from Tehran to the Syrian regime as a fourth party in "Astana", after the track was limited to the "sponsor" trio of Turkey, Iran and Russia, over 19 rounds, since 2017.
As Abdullahian pitched this idea to his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, in Ankara, Ali Asghar Khaji, Iran's chief foreign affairs adviser, preceded him by hinting at it, telling Iranian media that "work is underway to format of the Astana". talks on Syria, in accordance with the current circumstances and changes." .
Khaji pointed out that the Syrian regime was informed about the importance of "Astana" to become a quadrangle, and that "in the upcoming rounds that we will do to other countries that are members of the track formula, we will raise these issues and try to make them more effective and efficient with an appropriate strategy based on the new conditions in the region." the country."
During a phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on Friday, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi reiterated the idea of "the importance of implementing the Astana process, which is used as a mechanism to settle the situation in Syria." "
"Motion has modified the image"
Iran has been considered one of the two allies of the Assad regime since 2011, providing it with military and political support and tipping the scales in its favor against its opponents, and while its name was hidden in the path of rapprochement between Turkey and the Syrian regime in favor of Moscow, his sudden move in Ankara and Damascus changed the prevailing scene.
The rapprochement that began with the first meeting at the level of defense ministers in the Russian capital, Moscow, gave its stations to continue bilaterally between the latter and Ankara, away from Tehran, which reaffirmed that the Syrian dossier cannot be resolved "without his presence."
Therefore, observers who spoke to the Al-Hurra website believe that Abdullahian's visit to Damascus and Ankara did not deviate from the above comparison, since it was two-way and sudden to be present in what is happening, especially since it previously offered to play the role of "mediator" between Turkey and the Assad regime. .
Regarding "Astana", the researcher specializing in Iranian affairs, dr. Mahmoud Al-Bazi, considering that its compliance and calling for the modification of its formula to be a "quartet" aims to achieve several goals, including the "removal of foreign mediations outside the framework of the platform", as Tehran does not want any other parties. To enter the line of Turkish-Syrian reconciliation.
Tehran also does not want, according to what the researcher told Al-Hurra, to conclude bilateral or tripartite agreements between Turkey, Syria and Russia without it, and therefore "now calls on Tehran to change the composition of the road" and emphasize It.
"Iran is trying to restore the Iranian role through mediation through the Astana platform." Over the past months, the internal conditions it has witnessed have necessitated Moscow's entry into playing this role.
Al-Bazi added, "The Iranians do not want bilateral agreements outside of Astana, as they may carry secret clauses and conflict with their interests."
Since the beginning of the launch of the track, the purpose of "Astana" has been to form a joint framework between Turkey, Iran and Russia to prevent the clash of their forces on the ground, in addition to "to define the boundaries of influence between the three," according to Syrian researcher Orwa Ajoub.
Ajoub explains that the recent development, with Moscow encouraging Turkey to restore its relations with the Syrian regime, seemed to suggest that this "bilateral" move removed Iran from the tripartite table, prompting the latter to follow the path set in 2017 has been launched, to reconfirm.
Ajoub told Al-Hurra: "What we know is that Iran is angry with the Syrian regime, and this has translated into its refusal to supply it with oil and its request from Damascus to pay for shipments in cash, in as opposed to the old model which relied on deferred debt." This was revealed by the American Wall Street Journal.
However, it is difficult to confirm the "anger" about its exclusion from the "reconciliation process" between Ankara and Damascus, while the researcher notes that "the entry of the UAE and the discussion about the possibility of the foreign ministers of Turkey to meet, Russia and Syria in Abu Dhabi left Tehran resentful of the geopolitical rivalry with the latter."
Ajoub believes that "Abu Dhabi's perception that Iran is a single ally, but not necessarily a good one, and that the regime does not have many solutions, prompted it to open its embassies in 2018 and try to improve the relationship between the two parties. somehow, or by transforming the dependency relationship into a less conflicting one." .
Considering that Abdullahian's visit to Damascus, last week, coincided with the multitude of statements and positions related to the rapprochement between Ankara and Damascus, it also came in the wake of a visit by the Emirati Minister of foreign affairs, Abdullah bin Zayed, also to Syria, where he met Bashar al-Assad and his counterpart, Faisal al-Miqdad.
His previous visit to the capital in July last year also followed a visit bin Zayed made to Damascus, after Abu Dhabi largely restored its relations with the Syrian regime.
What does formula update mean?
Iran, Turkey and Russia are considered guarantors of the "Syrian Astana" track, and since 2017, parties of the Syrian opposition and the regime have been constantly meeting to discuss field and political issues at the same time.
However, the Iranian officials' talk that work is being done to update the formula of the lane so that it becomes a "four-way" may contain dimensions and developments that increase the "resurgence of Assad" and the opposition's chances of negotiation, according to observers.
Al-Bazi explains, "The Iranians are trying to restore the Astana railway to the previous track after it was disrupted due to internal circumstances, and they do not want any bilateral track that could harm their interests."
Al-Bazi says: "What Iran means by updating the formula to a quartet does not mean that the regime imposes on Turkey as a country sitting at the negotiating table, because Ankara has been negotiating on this basis for a long time, although it questioned Assad's legitimacy at the outset."
He added, "The Iranian message is directed to other parties, such as America, the West and Europe, that solutions for Syria must go through the Syrian regime."
"Iran is trying to internationalize President Assad. There are 3 'No's" in the western side and the United States, and they emphasize it, while Tehran works to soften it," by announcing the Syrian regime as a fourth party in "Astana set. ."
On the seventeenth of this January, the European Union held a session in the presence of representatives of all member states, to discuss the situation in Syria, emphasizing the continuation of the support of the Syrian people, and emphasizing the three "No" : "No to normalization, no to reconstruction, and no to the lifting of sanctions," as long as the regime did not effectively participate in the political solution.
Al-Bazi, the researcher, notes that Tehran is trying to break the first no-no by reviving the path of normalizing relations with the Syrian regime. And he adds: "You think that once the first one is relieved, it can move to the path of reconstruction and the lifting of sanctions."
For his part, Orwa Ajoub, a senior analyst at the Operational Analysis and Research Center, spoke of two goals for introducing the Assad regime as a fourth party at "Astana".
The researcher believes that "the new path between the Syrian regime and Turkey, under the protection of the UAE and Russia, may keep Iran out of the game."
He points to a second goal related to Tehran's intention to exclude the opposition: "If the regime becomes a fourth party alongside Russia, Iran and Turkey, the opposition will no longer be a party, but rather an outlet for outputs."
Nevertheless, "it is too early to decide on the introduction of the Syrian regime as an Iranian demand," in light of the uncertainty about the future of reconciliation with Turkey. Ajoub added, "Ankara and Moscow also have an opinion and their bilateral understanding. ."

Рецензия KERRANG! на альбом «Toxicity»
System Of A Down: explosive and infectious second album from America`s most inventive modern metal band.
THANK GOD they haven`t disappointed us. Three years on from a truly classic debut that arrived like a bolt out of the blue and System Of A Down have done the honourable thing and only gone and bettered it. Easily the most inventive and least predictable band of the great American metal Renaissance, the Los Angelino quartet actually have little in common with any of their contemporaries… which is exactly why they sound like the most vital band in the world right now. There`s no fronts here — no samples, no lame rapping, no convoluted notions of rebellion and no claims to be anything other than a band with something to say.
«Toxicity» is a beautiful cacophony that`s the result of four instruments colliding — guitar, bass, drums and Serj Tankian. The Serj is a little known instrument from Armenia by way of America that sounds a lot like a human being, yet is capable of sudden shifts from grunting metal menace to soaring punk rock operatics by way of a series of squeaks, howls, grunts and twisted, poetic verbal ejaculations. Behind him rhythm section Shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan lay down the tightest foundations for Tankian and ever-evolving guitarist Daron Malakian to display their colourful approach and off-the-hook ideas as to what a modern band should sound like. And since this album has been pared down from 30-odd songs to 14, it`s most certainly a case of all killer and no filler.
Opener «Prison» is a statistic-packed onslaught about a justice system that sucks minor drug offenders in and spits them out as fully qualified criminals; a song that calls for the abolition of mandatory minimum sentences, a change in drug policies and an increase in rehabilitation — all in a little over three minutes. As such, it`s the greatest song that Rage Against The Machine never wrote and says more than Limp Bizkit have in their entire career. This certainly isn`t party music though, rather it`s rabble-rousing, twisted parole punk in the same vein as MC5, Dead Kennedys, The Clash, Nirvana or Rage. Music to dance, f**k and smash things to.
«Jet Pilot» meanwhile is a frantic tale of war; the sound of musical carpet-bombing that practically drags you speeding through the air along with it, complete with a chorus that`s itching to be roared out by a hundred thousand people. «X» follows and is probably best representative of this band: a hammered-out verse gives way to an increasingly apoplectic fist-in-the-air chorus where the fat has been trimmed away and an economical approach applied: few guitar solos, plenty of time changes and a clutch of international flavours. No messing about.
Then there`s songs such as «Suicide» — ferociously schizophrenic with a beautifully emotive harmony-laden chorus where «angels deserve to die» — the mosh-pit friendly «Bounce» or «Toxicity», which manages to sound like Cat Stevens fronting Bad Brains. Absurd? Yep, that`s System Of A Down. Punk rocker, nu-metaller, skater, Satanist, goth, hardcore fan… whatever, buy this album. It's all the above and so much more.
Metal album of the year, hands down.

Merger Price Carries the Weight in Delaware Chancery's Solera Decision
The Delaware Court of Chancery's ruling was consistent with previous appraisal cases and found that representative DCF models were not credible.
The Delaware Court of Chancery recently issued a decision In Re Appraisal of Solera Holdings, Inc. ("Solera") that market-based indicators of value should be given significant weight when there is evidence of market efficiency and fair play in the deal process. Specifically, Chancellor Andre G. Bouchard gave the deal price, less estimated merger synergies, sole and dispositive weight in determining the fair value of the shares after consideration of the evidence. This ruling was consistent with the Delaware Supreme Court's reversals of the Chancery Court's decisions in Dell, Inc. v. Magnetar Global Event Driven Master Fund Ltd., et al. ("Dell") and DFC Global Corporation v. Muirfield Value Partners, L.P. ("DFC") appraisal action.
Solera, a global leader in data and software for the automotive, home ownership, and digital identity management industries, was publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange from May 2007 until March 3, 2016, when it was acquired by an affiliate of Vista Equity Partners for $55.85 per share, or approximately $3.85 billion in total equity value. Relying solely on a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, the petitioners argued that the fair value of their shares was $84.65 per share (approximately 52% over the deal price). Originally, the respondent argued for a fair value per share of $53.95 – which represented the deal price, less estimated synergies; however, the respondent later changed positions, instead contending that the "unaffected market price" of $36.39 per share (approximately 35% below the deal price) represented the best evidence as to the fair value of the shares.
Both parties' experts created three-stage DCF models consisting of:
five-year projections from fiscal 2016 through 2020 (utilizing the hybrid case projections)
a five-year transition period from fiscal 2021 through 2025
a terminal period beginning in fiscal 2026
Despite the similarities in structure, the outcome of these models resulted in a wide disparity in DCF value conclusions ($84.65 per share for the petitioners and $53.15 per share for the respondent). The major differences between the DCF analyses included:
the estimated amount of cash that Solera would need to reinvest over the terminal period
the company's return on invested capital (ROIC) in the terminal period
the accounting for stock-based compensation in both the discrete and terminal periods
the calculation of the contingent tax liability associated with Solera's foreign earnings
the amount of cash to be added back to Solera's enterprise value in order to convert it to equity value
Ultimately, Chancellor Bouchard found the petitioners' DCF valuation "not credible on its face" and accorded it no weight. This was due to the fact that nearly 88% of the resulting enterprise value was attributable to periods after the five-year hybrid case projection period and, therefore, dependent on a prediction about Solera's performance many years into the future in which "small variances in a DCF's inputs can lead to wide valuation swings." Similarly, Chancellor Bouchard gave no weight to the DCF valuation prepared by the respondent's expert, given the expert's own admission that his DCF valuation is "less reliable" than the merger price less synergies given the uncertainties surrounding several inputs to the DCF valuation.
Ultimately, Chancellor Bouchard opined that Solera's sales process met the requisite indicia of reliability per Dell considering:
the opportunity many potential buyers had to bid
the role Solera's special committee had in actively negotiating an arm's-length transaction
the evidence that the market for the company's stock was efficient and well-functioning
Accordingly, and in light of the Dell and DFC decisions, the court ruled that the deal price of $55.85 per share less the estimated merger synergies (based on expert valuation testimony) of $1.90 per share, or $53.95 per share, represented the fair value of the petitioners' shares as of the date of merger.

Roles of Members in Group
Every member of a group plays a certain role within that group. Some roles relate to the task aspect of the group, while others promote social interaction. A third set of roles is self-centered and can be destructive for the group. The followings are the different roles played by the group members:-
Task oriented roles: Groups are formed to perform a set of activities and to accomplish some objectives. Some members of the group may engage in unethical and destructive activities which hamper group performance. Researchers Benne and Sheats have identified the following task roles of the members of a group:
Initiator-contributor role: Generates new ideas.
Information-seeker's role: Asks for information about the task.
Opinion-seeker's role: Asks for the input from the group about its values.
Information-giver's role: Offers facts or generalization to the group.
Opinion-giver's role: States his or her beliefs about a group issue.
Elaborator role: Explains ideas within the group, offers examples to clarify ideas.
Coordinator role: Shows the relationships between ideas.
Orienter's role: Shifts the direction of the group's discussion.
Evaluator-critic's role: Measures group's actions against some objective standard.
Recorder's role: Keep a record of group actions.
Social roles: Groups also have members who play certain social roles. The followings are the important social roles of the members of a group:
Encourager's role: Praises the ideas of others.
Harmonizer's role: Mediates differences between group members.
Compromiser's role: Moves group to another position that is favored by all group members.
Gatekeeper/expediter's role: Keeps communication channels open.
Standard Setter's role: Suggests standards or criteria for the group to achieve.
Group observer's role: Keeps records of group activities and uses this information to offer feedback to the group.
Follower's role: Goes along with the group and accepts the group's ideas.
Individualistic roles: These roles put the group member above the group and are destructive to the group. The followings are the main individualistic role:
Aggressor's role: Attacks other group members, deflates the status of others, and other aggressive behavior.
Blocker's role: Resists movement by the group.
Recognition seeker's role: Calls attention to himself or herself.
Self-confessor's role: Seeks to disclose non-group related feelings or opinions.
Dominator's role: Asserts control over the group by manipulating the other group members.
Help-seeker's role: Tries to gain the sympathy of the group.
Special interest pleader's role: uses stereotypes to assert his or her own prejudices.

Q: Numbers Calculation Output with Commas I have a calculation app that I am building, and I have it where the input displays comma's and the calculation can still run despite the commas, but now I cannot get the output to display with thousand separator commas. I have tried almost everything I can think of. Can someone show me where I may be off.
Here is my script:
    jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
            // SHOW OUTPUT DIV ONLY WHEN ALL FIELDS ARE COMPLETED
            $( '#calc-top' ).bind( 'keyup change', function() {
                var orderAmount = $( '#orderAmt' ).val().replace( '', ',' );
                if ( orderAmount !== "" && $( "#duration option:selected" ).val() !== "" && $( "#debitFreq option:selected" ).val() !== "" ) {
                    $( 'div#calc-bottom' ).css( 'display', 'block' );
                } else {
                    $( 'div#calc-bottom' ).css( 'display', 'none' );
                }
            } );
        } );

    jQuery(document).ready(function($){

            // the following line has been simplified. Revision history contains original.
            $this.val(num2);

Here is my fiddle:  http://jsfiddle.net/qo5b7z93/
Any help is greatly appreciated!

A: Try this:
Note: The below function is very verbose for readability/understandability purposes. You would probably want to simplify it for production
You would change
outputAmt.innerHTML = monthlyPayments.toFixed( 2 ) || 0-->outputAmt.innerHTML = placeCommas(monthlyPayments);

function placeCommas(number) {
  if (number !== null && number !== undefined) {
    number = number.toFixed(2);
    var splitNum = number.split(".");
    var num = splitNum[0];
    var decimals = splitNum[1];

    var numArr = num.split("").reverse();
    var commaArr = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < numArr.length; i++) {
      commaArr.push(numArr[i]);
      if (i !== numArr.length - 1 && i % 3 === 2) {
        commaArr.push(",");
      }
    }
    num = commaArr.reverse().join("");
    number = num + "." + decimals;
    return number;
  }
}
console.log(placeCommas(0));
console.log(placeCommas(10));
console.log(placeCommas(100));
console.log(placeCommas(1000));
console.log(placeCommas(10000));

A: Please have a look at this updated FIDDLE, I think this should do what you need.

    nStr += '';
    x = nStr.split('.');
    x1 = x[0];
    x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '';
    var pattern = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
    while (pattern.test(x1)) {
        x1 = x1.replace(pattern, '$1' + ',' + '$2');
    }
    return x1 + x2;
}

A: It is not so user-friendly to block the use of arrow keys, or even any key for that matter. Your restrictions also remove the possibility to select text with shift-arrow, to remove input with backspace. And when they do move the cursor position with the mouse, as soon as they type, the cursor flips to the end. This is abnormal behaviour and will make users frustrated.
Let them type what they want, and just clean-up when they exit the input box. That is much more user-friendly.
So I would suggest to apply the number format only when the focus leaves the input field, and to remove all formatting as soon as focus enters again.
Here is also a regular expression replace to apply the formatting in one go:
$(this).val()
    .replace(/[^\d.]/gi, "") // clean-up
    .replace(/\B(\d{3})(?=(?:\d{3})*(?:\.|$))/g, ',$1'); // format

Here is the updated fiddle.

'Power Up': AC/DC Set A New Record
"Power Up", the new album by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, has made it to the top of the charts in many countries around the world, much to the delight of the music company BMG, which represents the band's publishing worldwide. "Power Up" is Number One in the US, UK and Germany, among others.
The hard rock band AC/DC tops the albums charts around the world with their new album "Power Up", and the colleagues at BMG are absolutely delighted since the Australian band are BMG publishing clients. "Power Up" is currently Number One in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Norway and Sweden. At the same time, it is the band's sixth Number One album in their homeland of Australia, and they are the only Australian group to have Number One albums in each of the past five decades. The new album is AC/DC's sixteenth international studio album, and it is a tribute to Malcom Young, the band's guitarist and songwriter, who passed away in 2017. The Group sister company Sonopress also benefits from the album's success: over the past several weeks, it has produced several hundred thousand copies of "Power Up" for Sony Music.

A few days ago, I read in a newspaper about a person supposed to have killed and eaten a baby's face. The person is suspected to be mentally ill. At the same time, the news posted on schizophrenia.com "Schizophrenia NewsBlog" shows that 90% of the murderers in Sweden are mentally ill. I do not refute the fact that people with mental illness are a danger to society, for even I had had delusions and heard voices which, at one point of time made me decide to kill a few of my loved ones (though thankfully it never took place), but as this is an illness of the brain, and each brain is different, there are always exceptions to these cases. They may also be more than exceptions. We should, for example, try to find out the number of mentally ill people in a country, and the number of mentally ill people who committed acts of violence. I'm sure this ratio would be much smaller, if, and only if the number of mentally ill people have been diagnosed correctly and given adequate treatment. For a country with inadequate medical system and inadequate laws, the acts of violence will not stop. Even people who are not mentally ill can be stopped from carrying out acts of violence (healthy individuals do carry out acts of violence), if they are brought up in a non-dysfunctional environment. The perspective, the outlook of a person is affected greatly by the social environment he is exposed to, and thus, we can only stop acts of violence, drop crime rates, if we are a socially apt society, with adequate psychotherapy facilities and adequate laws, and adequate implementation of those laws. I believe that this is nowhere near a utopian outlook, and we can bring a change in the society, starting from within ourselves. Only when we are One with ourselves, can we be successful.
As I said earlier, I don't believe in death penalties, for violence doesn't stem from knowledge, rather, it stems from ignorance.

Are you in need for a ray tracing platform for media entertainment sector ?
In the field of computer-generated high performance graphics, 3D advanced details include complex materials that are difficult to recreate realistically such as fur or hair. In order to achieve such designs, Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions are used to show how the light is reflected at an opaque surface. In this regard, Redway3d REDsdk uses light propagation equations that can encompass a non-isotropic light re-emission model, thus achieving highly photorealistic materials. Caustics and dielectric can also be propagated by reflective and refractive materials for optimal realism in the creation of objects such as glass or jewellery.
The release of our 3D graphics engine REDsdk graphics engine sets the framework of a new generation of graphics APIs: our cross platform toolkit is not only a 3D graphics engine that encompasses the two main visualization technologies currently available in the field but also a one of its kind middleware that is natively performant and reliable.

ALLIANCE, Ohio -- Mount Union's women's soccer team defeated Marietta (5-6-2, 1-3) by a score of 3-1 in an Ohio Athletic Conference matchup at Mount Union Stadium on Tuesday night.
Senior Katie Goedecke (Cuyahoga Falls/Akron St. Vincent-St.Mary) scored her sixth and seventh goals of the year to lead the Purple Raiders (8-3-1,2-1-1) past the Pioneers.
Goedecke scored her first goal of the night in the 10th minute on an assist from sophomore Danielle Rohrman (Olney,Md./Sherwood) which was her first assist of the year. Just two minutes later, freshman Brittany McCauley (Ontario/Ontario) raced past two defenders and scored her second goal of the year on a cross from sophomore Lauren Beech (Hanoverton/United Local) to make the score 2-0 at halftime.
Goedecke added her second goal of the game in the 72nd minute to extend the lead to 3-0 before a goal later in the minute by Marietta's Katie Tomlin made the final score 3-1.
Senior Paige Freel (Niles/Niles McKinley) gave up just the one goal on three shots from Marietta on the night.
The Raiders will be back on the road this Saturday, October 14th at Capital at 1 p.m.

Q: Woocommerce - Changing font size and color in products page I'm trying to change the font size and color of product's price in the products page. I added this to my custom css to try to override the original css, but no matter what, it does not work.
.woocommerce ul.products li.product .price {color:#ec7f91;font-size:16px;}

or
.woocommerce ul.products li.product .price {color:#ec7f91;font-size:16px;!important}

Any ideas?

A: First of all, it's probably because all the other styles are overwriting it.
Second, the !important needs to be on both, not just one, and it needs to be inside the semicolon.
Fixed up code:
.woocommerce ul.products li.product .price {
    color:#ec7f91 !important;
    font-size:16px !important;

GMI Energy delivers second solar scheme for Town Centre Securities
Published: Wednesday, 01 August 2012 12:29
Following the success of the largest city centre solar photovoltaic system of its time at Clarence Dock car park in Leeds, Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS) have once again called upon GMI to deliver another renewable energy scheme on the roof of their prestigious Urban Exchange retail development on Great Ancoats Street in Manchester.
Assisting Town Centre Securities PLC with their green investment strategy, GMI Energy has installed a 50w REC solar system comprising of 208 panels within a one week programme. Having assessed the building profile, GMI used a non-penetrating roof mounted system made of aluminium and stainless steel to maintain the integrity of the building which provides a flexible longer term solution.
The new system will produce approximately 44,800 kwh of energy a year, generating a combined income and saving of £10,550 per year over the 25 year feed-in-tariff period. It will also produce a 9% return on the investment cost.
In line with Town Centre Securities PLC's commitment to reducing their carbon footprint, 17,813 kg of CO2 emissions will be saved per year and tenants at Urban Exchange such as Aldi, M&S Outlet, Pure Gym and Go Outdoors will be able to use clean low carbon generated energy at the site.
Ben Ziff, Managing Director of Town Centre Car Parks (TCCP), a subsidiary of TCS explained: "We installed PV panels at the Clarence Dock car park in Leeds last year, creating the UK's largest city centre renewable energy system in Leeds, and are very pleased with their performance so far. Not only do they cut our energy bills, but they provide us with a return on our investment. Introducing solar systems to our estate is a part of our on-going strategy to use innovative and technological ways to improve our business and help shape the environment in challenging times."
David Donkin, Associate Director at Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS) said: "Urban Exchange is an architecturally stunning environmentally-friendly building, which has become a successful retail destination. The PV panels not only add to the building's green credentials but fit with TCS's commitment to sustainable development."
In addition to the installation GMI will also be providing a complete operations and maintenance support package to ensure the system is fully maintained and performing efficiently to its optimum level for 25 years. Furthermore GMI are only one of a small handful of companies that are REC Solar Professionals in the UK, bringing additional benefits such as an extended 12 year manufacturer's guarantee.
Carl Nielsen, Managing Director of GMI Energy said:
"We are delighted to continue GMI's relationship with Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS) as the construction arm of the business has undertaken several contracts at the Urban Exchange development over the years. It's so important for us to fully understand our client's properties as it forms the basis of the energy assessment and allows us to create bespoke solutions that are fit for purpose."
"Our hands-on and partnership approach meant we worked closely with Town Centre Securities to find the right solution, as investing into green energy is a longer term strategy that must integrate with the rest of the businesses objectives."

At Painters Ash we offer a wide range of clubs. This gives the children opportunities to take part in extra-curricular activities and learn new skills. We encourage all children to take part in a club, if your child is interested in attending a club please complete the application form at the bottom of this page or visit the school office to pick up a form. Clubs are currently finalised and if you are on the waiting list you will be notified if a place becomes available.
Painters Ash School offers a Breakfast and After School Club to all our parents.
Breakfast Club runs between 7.45am and 8.40am every morning in the school hall.
Breakfast is served until 8.25am and so children arriving after this time will need to have had breakfast already.
Once the children have had their breakfast, there are a range of games and equipment for the children to use with their friends. At 8.40am the children will be dismissed and will join their teachers in the classroom.
After School Club is held in the Community Room from 3.30pm each day.
Children in KS1 are collected from their classrooms. Children in KS2 will meet a member of the After School Club in the entrance hall and will then go to the Community Room. Children attending other school clubs first will be brought to the Community Room after their club.
Activities include board games, computer use, arts and crafts and cooking. Themed activities are organised, the details of which can be found on the notice board outside the Community Room. If the weather is suitable, the children will play outside under supervision.
The After School Club closes promptly at 5.30pm.
If you would like your child to attend Breakfast Club and After School Club, please contact the School Office.

Q: require class name in rspec-puppet I have two different manifests files one is with define and the other one is normal manifests.
Here they use require classname in normal manifests.
class bfile {
  require dummy
  if $::operatingsystemmajrelease > 5 {

    file {'/some/path/foo':
      ensure => present,
      owner => 'root',
      group => 'root',
      mode => '0644',
    }
  }
}

I tried it {should contain_class('dummy')} and it {should contain_require('dummy')},
but I'm getting "Could not find class dummy on node" error.
Is there any option available in puppet-rspec to check require classname?

A: The error message Could not find class dummy on node might signify that the class dummy is not in your modulepath. It's recommended to use absolute scope and modules: require ::my_module::dummy. The class should be defined in:
modules/my_module/manifests/dummy.pp

Regarding the second part, require will cause that Puppet will ensure that every resource in the bfile class gets applied before every resource in any dummy class.
Which means that you should be able to test it this way (RSpec >= 3 syntax):
it { is_expected.to contain_file('/some/path/foo').that_requires('Class[bfile]') }

A woman was shot multiple times while out walking her dog with her teenage daughter in the Strawberry Mansion section of Philadelphia.
STRAWBERRY MANSION (WPVI) -- A woman was shot multiple times while out walking her dog with her teenage daughter in the Strawberry Mansion section of Philadelphia.
On Monday afternoon, homicide detectives were back at the scene of the execution style murder on the 3200 block of Morse Street.
It was a possible hit.
The victim, police say, was 42-year-old mother Kathryn Berry.
"Absolutely, she was targeted. We don't know why. But she was absolutely targeted, and we're asking for the public's help," said Philadelphia Police Department Captain James Clark.
Clark says around 10:00 p.m. Saturday, Berry was walking home on Morse with her 13-year-old daughter and their dog. They had just returned from the store.
A man walked up and opened fire.
After police scoured the area looking for clues, they found surveillance video of the violent killing.
Police say the video shows a man pull out a gun, walk up to Berry, and fire 9 to 10 shots.
Berry's horrified teenage daughter wasn't physically injured, but she witnessed her mother's murder.
"That's an absolute tragedy. The mother was actually gunned down in front of the daughter. The daughter was actually the one who called 911 and got the police out there so very traumatizing for her," Clark said.
While police are trying to figure out a motive, Action News has learned what was happening in Berry's life at the time of the shooting.
Back in June of 2013, she was indicted on federal drug charges for distributing and aiding and abetting the distribution of large amounts of oxycodone.
Documents show she was in federal court two weeks ago to change her plea to guilty.
Sentencing in the case was expected to happen in January.
Philadelphia police won't say if Berry's federal case is part of their investigation.


Novell plans to release a beta for its Linux Desktop 10 including new features offering better interoperability with Microsoft Office and Open Office, said Ted Haeger, Novell's director of user communities, at the Southern California Linux Expo. The beta, tentatively scheduled for release next month, will include a new feature, dubbed Xgl. Haeger said Xgl will allow users to jump between screens and multiple desktops. Targeted to CAD software users, Xgl has a practical side that allows users to have better window- and file-sharing capabilities.
Buy a copy of Novell Linux Desktop just to support Novell. They spend lots of money funding features like Xgl and compiz.
No thanks. I only drink free beer.
So you wouldn't give a credit or anything to someone who brews the beer you drink for free? Such ingratitude, it's not about paying, it's about support.
Who are you to question my integrity and motives for using free software? If you don't want it to be free, commercialize it. Otherwise, shut the hell up.
I can't speak for the other guy, but I'll be buying the next version the same reason. To support Novell.
I'm sure we can all agree that what Novell is doing is great. They're doing it for a few reasons, but one of them is to attract users. By attracting users they hope to glean monies. It's the nature of business. And they deserve it for what they're doing.
They're doing a good deed, and doing good work. It's not too much to ask that if you say you support free software, you SUPPORT free software.
I agree. I always buy my distros!
Apple eat your heart out!
This really show what Linux is capable of these days.
Its not Linux that has to catch up here anymore!
I also agree. It seems that Novell is contributing more than anybody else to desktop linux these days.
Amen brother, if you want it to stay free vote with your wallet.
Buy Suse Linux and do the same. Novell Linux Desktop is the business package, so if you are a business then maybe ues. Suse Linux is geared toward the home desktop more or less. Both are Novell products and support Novell if purchased.
use Xgl for "better file-sharing capabilities." ???
This article demonstrates a thorough lack of understanding at even the most basic level of the subject matter at hand.
OSNews is better than this.
I was most interested in the fact that this article announces the beta is coming next month.
Well, obviously the files look much better with Xgl when you share them, hence "better file-sharing capabilities". You know, in the very much same way as Xgl gives you much better file management, email checking, web browsing, and not to mention, coffee making capabilities. I also heard, but take this with a grain of salt, that Xgl actually will give you better gas mileage on your car, so don't be surprised if you see it for sale on late night TV by som bearded shady guy. Don't underestimate the awesome all-encompassing embetterment-factor of a shiny, flashy GUI!
It seems that joking with something as serious as Xgl is frowned upon by people here, so we better stop. Unfortunately Xgl does not change the humor perception coefficient in its die-hard fans, but maybe in time there will be a software project that can address this very issue.
And, for those stuck firmly on the other side of the big sarchasm (no, not a typo), I actually look forward to using Xgl when it's in an useable state.
Well, obviously the files look much better with Xgl when you share them, hence "better file-sharing capabilities".
Novell has surely found an interesting way to get XGL development jumpstarted. By shipping the massive hack that is Xglx (its an X server that runs full screen inside another full X server), they could very well spur development of Xegl. It might very well break the deadlock that exists with Xegl right now, where there is little demand for DRI-EGL to be developed, because nothing uses it, and there is little incentive for XGL to be developed, because DRI-EGL isn't ready yet. I'll be interested to see how this works out for them.
That was my reaction – how can Novell be so willing to ship a product that wouldn't have had the necessary depth and breadth of testing one would require for such an crically important foundation to an operating system?
I would have thought the best thing to do would have been to ship Novell Linux Desktop 10 with the basic Xorg 7.0 server, then in the first service pack; around 4-6months later, bundle Xgl withit.
A good amount of XGL is already done (having had a look at the progress), but at the same time, it'll also need a good amount of testing to work through any bugs and gotchas that don't normally turn up in every occasion – aka, the random spontaneous bugs.
Depends on how you look at it. SUSE is being positioned much the same way that Fedora has been positioned.
Basically they're using us as a large group of bug testers. Not that I mind, nor do I think that the large crowd of linux junkies/technology/whores mind. They'll get a kick out of it.
That probably works out in all of our favors'. Novell is gonna need plenty of bug testing work on this, they only have so many resources. If we do the bug testing they can spend more time coding thus accelerating the progression of Xgl.
This is only a beta. This will give people a chance to take a look at it and give bug reports and fixes. The final release won't be for at least 4-6 months, so I don't really see an issue with what they are doing.
Actually, no, the scheduled release for NLD 10 is May. Assuming late May for the release and early March for the beta, that's still less than 3 months.
And the problem is that if they're releasing it as part of NLD (as opposed to something like openSuse), they can't simply put a disclaimer on it saying "it's experimental, use at your own use". Corporate customers don't like that sort of thing, and will expect NLD to be working and properly supported by Novell from the time it is installed. That's what they'll be paying for.
Novell has actually had this for a while, a buddy of mine saw NLD 10 first demo'd at their sales rally in January. He indicated even back then that the graphics and desktop were stunning, a big change from NLD 9 (which they're all stuck using). Optimistically one would hope that they kept this under wraps as long as they did for semi-exhaustive internal testing and troubleshooting before public release; cynically, one could assume that they held off as long as they did just to make sure they were the first out of the gate with it.
The cospiracists point out that this was released just in time to miss Fedora and Dapper's feature freeze but potentially make it into Opensuse, though in fairness they had announced all along they intended to announce and release it at the conference.
Nothing wrong with that considering the investment they made, but between that and the structural changes they made to the gnome desktop that are all being sprung on people with little notice, it's a gamble that could pay off big or explode in their faces.
Still, I hope for the best.
Can you show me where you got this information from because I was under the impression that NLD wasn't going to be released until October.
Anyone know what the minimum requirements for all that xgl/compiz goodness is?
The way it's being talked about it seems like this stuff is going to be in a default installation. Which would seem odd if you need a fancy graphics card for it.
It seemed to run fine when I tried it on my P4 laptop (geforce4 MX 440 with 64MB VRAM). That's a three year old machine, so that seems reasonable. However, it was quite unstable and resizing was very slow. I'm sure the stability will improve, but I don't have high hopes for resizing to get fixed without significant improvements to the underlying memory allocator.
The great thing about Xgl is that it actually speeds up things. The only requirement from the hardware is a video card with decent OpenGL accel support.
That's what's supposed to happen when you involve *ANOTHER PROCESSOR* in whatever it is that you're doing. In this case, you're utilizing that GPU alot more and offloading the processing job away from the CPU.
Interesting that the 3d desktop coming to vista slows things down, as a point of reference.
Apple's(to my knowledge) will also speed things up. Does MS even care anymore?
Effects for which performing all of the calculations on the CPU would be prohibitive are not necessarily faster when done by the GPU than not doing them at all. You should be comparing performing the calculations on the host CPU to doing them on the GPU.
That's not really what I was saying, but I understand.
No, I'm not saying necessarily that they'll be *faster* when done on the GPU as opposed to being done by the CPU, I'm saying that the whole OS will feel faster because those tasks(whatever they are) are not being done by the CPU. They're being done by the GPU. The CPU can focus in on other things and get them done faster while the pass-off is done on graphical calculations.
This is the whole point(well one of them) of a 3d desktop. There's so much horsepower in a GPU that goes unused, why not use it?
My point was that when comparing Vista's performance with its effects, you must compare them as if they were being performed on the host CPU. Making the GPU do tasks is not necessarily going to make the experience 'faster' if what you are doing is just adding more 'things' and performing them on the GPU. If your comparison is between effects performed on the GPU and sans effects entirely, the comparison is loaded.
Based on the testing with my hardware, the lowest hardware it will run on decently is NVIDIA GeForce 2 Video card with a Pentium 3 processor (this is with a lot of affects disabled, but also some enabled). Most people should have that already.
well ive tried XGL just using the glx stuff and its not that impressive. I mean its cool, but its just candy. OSX can do this stuff in vesa, and its still fast. Linux and windows still have a LONGGGG way to catch up!
What does in vesa mean? Both OS X and Linux are using OpenGL to accelerate the desktop.
BTW this is tech demo stuff, expect lots and lots of cool developments in the next 6 months. The code for this was released a few days ago and already we're seeing enhancements from the community. When you give developers new toys they tend to go to town.
You can state your opinion in 6 months but all signs point to Linux being the most advanced desktop for at least a little while. We still have yet to see what Microsoft is going to do so it may not last long.
Nothing against OS X but it's desktop technology hasn't progressed in years. I mean it was definately ahead of it's time but it can't lead the way forever. Open source sometimes takes more time to get the latest technology but when it's done, it's usually done right.
1) It is mostly on a level of technical parity. Quartz 2D Extreme is out there, even though its not yet enabled because it is incompatible with Quickdraw. Quartz Extreme does the same compositing, distorting, and window synchronizatoin tricks that Compiz does. One potential thing XGL has over OS X is that it sends geometry to the server via XRENDER, instead of doing rendering client-side and just having the window server deal with the resulting bitmaps/textures. In theory, this could be used for some advanced effects like high-quality window scaling, though the fact that text is still represented as bitmaps greatly limits that approach.
2) It's already out there, already mature, and already in wide use. Adium draws fancy anti-aliased chat window graphics, Growl gives me fancy anti-aliased semi-transparent notifications, etc. Lots of apps actually take advantage of OS X's vector features, because it's been out for so long. It'll be quite awhile before the same is true for Vista and XGL.
As for the "being done right", I don't know about that. XGL + the software above it is quite kludge-tastic at the moment. First, the whole "dual X server" thing harks back to the "dual kernel" marketing Apple had in the early days of OS X but quickly buried because everyone realized how ugly that sounded. On top of that, most apps aren't yet ready to take full advantage of XGL. GTK+, even current versions, still draws half through Cairo and half through GDK. GNOME 2.14 will still mix core X and Cairo rendering because it'll still use a non-Cairo'ed Clearlooks theme. The guts of the graphics layer are not really ready for XGL yet — all sorts of problems ranging from memory management to low-overhead GL context switching need to be addressed at the DRI level.
Now, I'm sure this will all get worked out eventually. By the time GNOME 3.0 rolls around, I'm sure we'll be using a pure Cairo GTK linked to XCB talking to XGL running on DRI-EGL. However, while all those pieces are there in various forms, it'll be quite awhile before they come together into a well-integrated graphics stack. Since I don't think Vista will make it out in 2006, I don't think its a big deal in the context of competing with Windows, but relative to OS X its still an issue.
What I'd really like to know… Will Ubuntu Dapper ship with this? That'd be nifty.
It's in Dapper's universe repository.
SWEET! I knew it wouldn't be in 'main', but I had no idea it'd be in 'universe'. Now, yer sure about that? I'm not gonna be disappointed come April?
I tried actual Xgl and compiz (x.org CVS) on my machine (ArchLinux) and have to say, well, it's nice, but also very unstable.
I doubt it makes much sense to get it shipped in March. They should wait some months for it to get mature.
Agreed. I'm playing with it in kubuntu (couldn't wait for debian to get modular xorg) and it has some rough edges. I can do everything from the videos, but there were certain things you didn't see in the videos Wine apps have no windecos, last I checked java apps (using Sun's JRE) are a blank window (IBMs JRE works), and little oddities like not being able to open kontact and konqueror at the same time. It needs a little time.
How is it too early to release a beta? They are not realeasing a final version in March, they are releasing beta. This will help people test it so that all of the kinks can be worked out before they ship the final version. Isn't this the point of betas?
Well and good. SuSE usually do six-monthly releases so this one seems well on schedule after version 10.
Personally I am more interested in two things other than the Xgl stuff. The first is YaST/YOU and packaging/repos. SuSE 10 used various different methods of package management including apt if you wanted. I'd much prefer it if SuSE settled on just one method for their future needs and then tweaked it up to perform extremely well.
Second, there is the seemingly perennial SuSE problem of speed and responsiveness. Debian Unstable here runs much faster than SuSE 10, with both using preloading. Firefox on Debian opens in about three seconds whereas SuSE takes noticeably longer, for example. SuSE has always been a little sluggish, imho, and perhaps it's time they dealt with that. Whatever the reason – conservative compile/kernel settings? – it is starting to make SuSE look a little flat-footed these days.
I've noticed that myself. I went from fedora to suse primarily because of YaST, but the speed difference I've noticed is significant.
Hopefully OS 10.1 will raise the performance bar.
Goodness. Is there anyone at Novell who can't talk crap, or a CTO somewhere that actually knows what's going on? Small wonder Alan Nugent left.
Haeger said Xgl will allow users to jump between screens and multiple desktops.
Yay! Oh, hang on. I'm doing that now.
Yay! Oh damn. Where's the CAD software?
Xgl has a practical side that allows users to have better window- and file-sharing capabilities.
Yay! Err, better filesharing capabilities?
The planned Novell desktop package, which incorporates OpenOffice, includes support for Visual Basic macros used in Excel.
So no OpenDocument promotion then?
Yay. Oh, already have that.
Err, no actually. It's about the applications.
All this is meant to be more personal so that people get an attachment to the desktop. And that can help drive us forward [with] more and more apps and lower prices.
Stunning strategy there. Where are these lower prices going to come from?
Microsoft documents sealed with Microsoft encryption can be opened on OpenOffice.
Cementing Microsoft Office more. What happens when Microsoft starts using a TPM for this stuff?
I guess then OpenOffice will too. There is already a TPM module in the kernel. TPM is not a MS-only technology.
There is already a TPM module in the kernel. TPM is not a MS-only technology.
If you knew what that meant you'd realise that Microsoft can tie a Word document exclusively to Word, or more tantalisingly, to a version of Word.
I'm not quite sure what your animus is. Novell aren't delivering anything different from most other Linux distros, though arguably they do it better than a lot of folks. So why don't we write off, say, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Mepis and Fedora while we're about it? And in terms of underwriting open source development, Novell are probably doing more than all those others added together.
Given the whole Novell group's financial problems, I'd agree that announcing some changes in their next release might amount to shifting around the deckchairs, if that's what you were getting at. Or perhaps that Novell might be better off it they did do it all differently. For all that, SuSE has always been and still is a topflight distro, imho.
So why don't we write off, say, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Mepis and Fedora while we're about it?
Because they actually have people using them.
Given the whole Novell group's financial problems, I'd agree that announcing some changes in their next release might amount to shifting around the deckchairs, if that's what you were getting at.
Well not really. It's just there's nothing compelling in there, and at least, there's nothing in there that's going to make Novell any money. A lot of the desktop work can actually be used to give their servers top-notch graphical tools to make Novell's software really compelling, but alas, there is nothing.
I really wonder who modded you up.
Your knowledge is very limited and biased.
To name a few prof. applikcations..
There are also lot of free and open CAD/CAM programs.
As for lack of knowledge, go and read up about what applications are missing in terms of Linux support and you'll find CAD in general, and particularly AutoCAD, high on the list in terms of the features some would miss.
Goodness knows how XGL would improve the above applications anyway.
Probably because you don't want to look.
Again where is the source for that?
Autocad would be a warm welcome but its nonsense to say that Linux lacks CAD applications or support.
Had a look at the demo and I must say I was impressed with what I saw.
There's no point in using Xgl if it allows you to go slow "in style".

Prince Philip, 97, has voluntarily given up driving licence after crash
Martine Berg OlsenSaturday 9 Feb 2019 6:34 pm
Prince Philip has 'voluntarily' surrendered his driving licence, Buckingham Palace says.
The 97-year-old keen driver has decided to give up his right to get behind the wheel following a crash that injured two on 17 January.
The Duke of Edinburgh was reportedly dazzled by the winter sun when he backed into a busy A road near the Queen's Sandrinham estate in Norfolk and hit a Kia, carrying a baby, a mum and a grandmother.

The crash caused his Land Rover Freelander to flip onto its side, and the duke had to pulled out of the wrecked vehicle according to witnesses.
Children are still 'malnourished' in the UK and this will be 'worst summer yet'
Less than two days after the crash Philip was seen driving without a seat belt. He was given 'suitable words of advice' according to Norfolk Police at the time.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said on Saturday evening: 'After careful consideration The Duke Of Edinburgh has taken the decision to voluntarily surrender his driving licence.'
He gave up his licence on Saturday, a spokeswoman added.
He could still be prosecuted for the crash.

A statement released by Norfolk Police said: 'Norfolk Police can confirm that the 97-year-old driver of the Land Rover involved in the collision at Sandringham on Thursday 17 January, 2019 has today voluntarily surrendered his licence to officers.
'We will follow the standard procedure and return the licence to the DVLA.
'The investigation file for the collision has been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service for their consideration.'
A CPS spokesperson said: 'We review each file carefully before a decision is made and will take this development into account.'
The duke was unhurt in the collision but Emma Fairweather, 46, who was in the passenger seat of the Kia suffered a broken writs.

Mrs Fairweather has previously called for the royal to give up his licence.
In a letter dated 21 January, Philip wished her a 'speedy recovery' and said he 'failed to see the car coming', the Sunday Mirror reported at the time.
He blamed the low, bright sun for obscuring his vision, adding he was 'very contrite about the consequences'.

In which I discuss the soundtrack but also get distracted and talk about film music in general.
I wasn't sure this movie could hold up to such an extensive review, but the first two episodes have me looking forward to the remainder of the series. Personally, I find Prometheus to be a very frustrating experience, since there's so much good in the basic story and production, but it's all undermined by a messy final script. Yet I keep finding myself coming back to it in spite of its shortcomings. The soundtrack is also a favorite of mine.
Thanks for listening. I think Prometheus makes a great subject for analysis because it's a strange blend of strong choices and then completely baffling ones. I can't help but think about it at length.


Occupational Health Solutions (OHS) has provided many services for United States Bakery (Franz Bakery) for many years. Their knowledgeable, professional and responsive staff works as an extension of our company. I am proud to say that OHS provides a very high degree of services including Workers' Compensation Management, Occupational Nursing, New Hire Testing, Mobile Hearing Testing, Job Analysis Development and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services that are essential for our business. In addition the value of services they provide is the long-term partnership and relationship that fits with Franz's Cultural Core Values.
OHS has proven to be a beneficial resource to our company, supervisors and employees. From Pre-Employment Screening, Occupational Nurse Services, Employee Assistance Program, Fitness-For-Duty Exams, and Workers' Comp Claims Management, OHS has provided accurate, timely, and reliable information that has helped us to make informed business decisions.
Dorothea, Randi, and the rest of the professionals on the OHS team have what I would consider an "open door policy" when it comes to communication, I can always count on them being available, honest, and receptive to ideas and/or questions.
OHS is continuously exploring value-added services to enhance its partnership with its Employer Partners; I look forward to their next value-added service and would recommend all of their services to others.
OHS has proven to be a valued partner to our Companies throughout Washington, Oregon and Idaho. From pre-work screening and early intervention to fitness-for-duty and claims management, OHS offers insight and direction. Without hesitation, I have – and will continue to – recommend the services of OHS to others.
Vaagen Bros. Lumber, Inc. has been in partnership with OHS since 2006. At first we were a little skeptical about sending our employees 70 miles to have pre-employment testing done, but it has proven to be a much simpler, smoother process than what we previously had. In the past we utilized several different companies to do the same processes that OHS does for us, which includes drug screening, medical screening, hearing tests and pre-work screening. We receive the results promptly, which helps us get the prospective employees to work in a timely manner. We utilize OHS' on-site job analysis, on-site hearing tests, the 24 hour nurse line and they also manage our claims. We have enjoyed our relationship with OHS and continue to work with them on new processes. We would highly recommend OHS' services to others.

Die 10. Schweizer Meisterschaft im Futsal begann am 27. September 2015 und endete am 12. März 2016.

Dieses Jahr gab es keine Änderungen am Modus oder an der Teilnehmerzahl. Benfica Rorschach kehrte in die SFPL zurück und ersetzte den Absteiger Geneva Futsal.

Wie schon im Vorjahr, konnte der Qualifikationssieger die Meisterschaft nicht für sich entscheiden. Futsal Minerva spielte eine Rekordsaison, gewann 17 von 18 Qualifikationsspielen, entschied beide Halbfinalspiele im Derby gegen den Vorjahresmeister Mobulu Futsal Uni Bern für sich und auch im Finale wurden sie nicht nach der regulären Spielzeit bezwungen. Erst im Sechsmeterschiessen setzten sich die Futsal Maniacs mit 9:11 durch. Somit konnten die Aargauer in ihrer dritten Finalteilnahme den ersten Titel der Vereinsgeschichte feiern.

In portugiesischer Hand blieb die Torjägerkrone. Fabio Soares von Futsal Minerva sicherte sich den Titel des besten Torschützen mit 41 Saisontreffern. Den zweiten Platz teilten sich Evangelos Marcoyannakis von Mobulu Futsal Uni Bern und Mato Sego von MNK Croatia 97/Futsal Löwen Zürich mit 27 Toren.

Top 10 Jedi (Results) – Star Wars Top Tens
by star trek voyager
who is the best jedi in star wars This is a topic that many people are looking for. star-trek-voyager.net is a channel providing useful information about learning, life, digital marketing and online courses …. it will help you have an overview and solid multi-faceted knowledge . Today, star-trek-voyager.net would like to introduce to you Top 10 Jedi (Results) – Star Wars Top Tens. Following along are instructions in the video below:
Guys for the 16000. Votes casted on our poll a few weeks ago on who who your favorite jedi is we appreciate all of them. Especially the comments you guys at number 10 with 443 votes is kit fisto making his first major appearance in episode 2.
Attack of the clones kit. Fisto quickly became a fan favorite with his signature smile during the arena battle on geonosis that charming smile came with a sense of humor. Making fisto stand out among many other jedi especially those on the jedi council.
Who tended to take everything seriously even in death. Fisto. Had a smile on his face as noted by anakin when he ran past his corpse in the chancellors office considered to be one of the best duelists within the jedi order.
Fisto was able to hold his own against general grievous with ease and also survive against palpatine for a few seconds. Before being cut down his ability to use the force in combat was also remarkable especially underwater. Where he even invented a unique force ability known as force orb.
Which was essentially a powerful orb of air that was capable of penetrating underwater craft. He also was able to give his oxygen to those drowning. While underwater fun fact kit fisto and aayla secura had somewhat of a romantic relationship.
But they never committed to it due to their devotion to the jedi code. Reading your guys comments. Many of you voted for him for two reasons first being for his charming smile and humor and second for his unique physical appearance and his ability to expertly fight.
Underwater at number 9. With 716 votes. Is mace windu.
Being one of the most powerful jedi for his time windu acted like a one army during battles with at one point. Even taking down hundreds of battle droids with his bare. Hands supposedly.
He had a kill count of over 1 million battle droids near the end of the war. Windu stood out among other jedi with his purple lightsaber. Which he created with unique purple crystals.
He obtained in his younger years. He was also extremely quick being able to even dodge blaster bolts with ease on top of his immense speed. Windu possessed a rare ability known as shatter point.
Which allowed him to see the weaknesses of his enemies. Through the force making him an extremely dangerous opponent to fight against based on the comments.
who is the best jedi in star wars-0
Many of you voted for mace windu due to his unique purple lightsaber and also for the fact. That he can channel the dark side of the force against his opponents through his mastery of vaapad. Many of you also voted for him because.
Samuel l. Jackson played him who is truly one of the greatest actors to ever live. At number 8.
With 728 votes. Is yoda nearing the age of 900 years. Yoda was the grand master and leader of the jedi order training nearly all the jedi by the time of the clone wars.
Despite his non intimidating appearance yoda was one of the most powerful jedi in galactic history. Although his old age limited his endurance for lightsaber combat. He was able to perform colossal feats through the force such as when he denied a separatist ship from unloading its army before destroying it by forcing it to crash with another ship his old age made him extremely knowledgeable of the force and the secrets kept within the jedi archives.
Such knowledge allowed him to create jedi holocrons from scratch and to also contact jedi through the force across the galaxy. It seems many of you voted for yoda because he was the wisest jedi and that despite his small size. He was super powerful also many people voted for him simply.
Because he was green at number 7 with 774 votes is luke skywalker. Being the son of the chosen. One luke had a very strong connection to the force having the potential to surpass even yoda and mace windu in terms of raw power.
By the time. Luke became a grandmaster he had the lightsaber skill of mace windu and the force powers of yoda basically. He had become the most powerful jedi to ever live after the galactic civil war.
Luke went on to create the new jedi order. Where he taught the new generation of jedi in legends. Luke went on to marry.
Mara jade. A former emperors hand and together. They had a son named ben skywalker.
Though we dont know if this will also be the case in the new movies. The most recurring reason as to why you guys voted for luke seemed to be because he was able to redeem his father at the end of return of the jedi and also because of how powerful he became in legends. Once he reached the title of grandmaster at number 6.
With 892 votes is plo koon. Unable to breath oxygen due his species unique biology.
Plo koon. Was forced to wear a breathing mask in order to survive outside his homeworld. His superb ability to use the force was noted throughout the jedi order and plo koon was even recorded in using a light side version of force lightning known as electric judgment.
He was the one who found and took ahsoka tano to the jedi temple. When she was a youngling acting as her mentor during her childhood. Before she was assigned as the apprentice of anakin skywalker plo koon.
Discovering ahsoka tano. And his usage of a light side version of force lightning seemed to be the main reason. Many people voted for him also the fact that he wore a mask made him even more appealing to many other people at number 5.
With 943 votes is anakin skywalker. As the chosen one and the manifestation of the force itself anakin had the potential to become basically a god within the star wars universe unfortunately for him. He was never able to achieve this due to his injuries from obi wan as a padawan anakin surpassed many of his peers and tended to be at the top of his class once he became a jedi knight and active within the clone wars.
Anakin was regarded as the greatest warrior of the republic by many citizens as he helped liberate countless worlds despite being a hero to many he soon became a monster to those he once saved when he fell to the darkside and became darth vader as a sith lord vader. Hunted down and killed. Countless jedi during the empires reign.
He probably had the highest jedi kill count of anyone in galactic history. Many people voted for anakin due to the fact that he brought balance to the force and was the one who killed emperor palpatine in an effort to save his son. He also was liked due to his treatment of his troopers and how he led them in battle at number.
4 with 1071. Votes is revan he was a jedi during the old republic. Era which took place over 3000.
Years. Before the clone wars. Revan was a man of action who got things done when he was a jedi.
The mandalorians started to attack republic territories. But the jedi council. Didnt want to get involved this angered revan who went on to disobey the jedi councils orders and got himself involved within the mandalorian wars.
Revan and his friend malak went on to fight and kill multiple mandalorians and basically win the war for the republic once revan killed mandalore the ultimate the leader of the mandalorians at the time after they finished fighting. The mandalorians revan and malak then went on to solve the next galactic threat. The emerging sith emperor.
But when they confronted him they both fell to the dark side with revan being known as darth revan from then on as a sith lord. He started the jedi civil war and killed multiple jedi.
He was eventually betrayed by his friend darth malak. And was taught to have been dead. But he survived and eventually recovered.
But with no memory of who he was knowing how powerful he was the jedi decided to retrain him as a jedi so they could use him in their advantage. Once retrained as a jedi revan was sent to kill his former friend darth malak. He succeeded after a while his memories of his past life started to reappear this caused him to search for answers and during this search.
He was captured by the sith and kept as a prisoner as a prisoner. He was constantly tortured by the sith emperor eventually causing his mind to split into two halves. The light and the dark.
The dark side of revan was eventually defeated by the republic and the light side of revan after everything revan finally was able to go out in peace as he became one with the force. Many people voted for revan because of how he went out of his way to do what he believed was right even if it meant going against the wishes of the jedi. His struggle between the light and the dark was also a reason people voted for him at number.
3 with 1155. Votes. Is galen marek also known by his codename starkiller at a young age galen was kidnapped by darth vader and trained as his secret apprentice.
Once his training was complete galen took the codename of starkiller and was sent on missions to eliminate powerful surviving jedi unknown to starkiller at the time. He was just a pawn in palpatines elaborate plot to weed out rebellious leaders and to expose them he did just that connecting rebel cells and leaders and indirectly helping create the rebel alliance but shortly after the rebel alliances creation. The leaders were captured by the empire.
Seeing the true intentions of his masters starkiller. Fully turned to the lightside and became a jedi after recovering from his injuries. He tracked down the kidnapped rebel leaders and fought his way through the entire death star.
As he made his way to the emperors throne room after defeating darth vader starkiller confronted emperor palpatine refusing to join the emperor starkiller instead sacrificed himself to save the rebel leaders and essentially the rebel alliance based on the comments. Many people voted for starkiller because of his sacrifice in saving the rebel alliance and also because many people just liked playing him in the force unleashed. Games at number.
2 with 1243. Votes. Is ahsoka tano.
She was the apprentice of anakin skywalker during the clone wars serving as a commander during the war. Despite her shaky start as a character during the show being viewed as annoying and too childish. She did eventually develop overtime into a fan favorite becoming almost as iconic as darth vader and yoda within the fanbase.
Although we havent seen her story fully finish due to the cancellation of the clone wars. Her appearance was welcomed in rebels with her duel against vader being the most looked forward thing.
Within the show at the time. Many people voted for her because they got to see her journey as a jedi viewing. Her as a role model throughout both the clone wars and rebels also many of you seemed to vote for her because you found her attractive before we reveal number 1.
We have a few honorable mentions first is qui gon jin. Who gained 11th place on the list. A jedi that usually did things his way qui gon.
Eventually discovered an ability to retain his identity. After death to which he taught to both obi wan and yoda allowing them to become force ghosts after death second is rahm kota. Gaining 23rd place on the list kota served as starkillers jedi mentor and was probably also the inspiration to kanan jarrus in rebels third is gungi who gained 14th place on the list.
He was one of the few wookiee jedi. Weve seen and he also had a unique lightsaber that was made out of wood and finally the youngling who talked to anakin during the siege on the jedi temple right before he and his peers got killed his name was sors bandeam and he gained the most write in votes well. If you exclude.
Harambe he gained like 60 write in. Votes. Now at number 1 with 3290.
Votes is obi wan kenobi. Despite becoming a jedi master and a member of the jedi council kenobi actually almost never even became a jedi knight due to his early struggles of keeping up with his peers. But qui gon saw potential in him and took him in as his apprentice proving to the jedi that obi wan was someone who could be forged into a strong jedi once a master obi wan was considered to be one of the finest jedi of the order and he was viewed by many fans to be the poster boy of what the jedi should be someone who was able to control their anger and hatred.
