Q: Trouble inserting a html image I'm a complete novice and I only know HTML and JavaScript. For a few days I've been trying to get a picture inserted into a section of the site I am doing for my old school. I had done pretty much nothing when I got the problem. Basically, I've tried loads of photo hosting sites and the only one that worked was a very low-res one from the uniform manufacturer. Here is the code:

 Press one of the leaves to go to the desired area of the website.

Any help would be great! I've tried jpegs, pngs, ect and that one up there was just my latest try. Again, please bear with me... most people on this site are experts.
EDIT: Ignore the <h> </h> tags.
Edit: To clarify, I load the document in chrome or ie and the picture isn't there. When I give it an alt, I just see the alt. Also, the resolution is very high-something in the 4000's I think.

A: Ummm... The image is there, but it is enlarged quite a lot. I'm no expert, but you should definitely scale it down so you can see it easily. It is done by adding width and height after the url. Also images should be in .jpg format. The border does nothing to the image right now.

 Press one of the leaves to go to the desired area of the website.

How did Andy Graham meet Bah?
I met Bah in Grand Bassam, Cote d'Ivoire in 2010, then later in the year she came to Ghana to visit and travel with me as girlfriend.
Hello, I understand your point... Bah speaks French and has yet to fully understand I am a writer.Therefore, until she is fully aware, I will have proper respect for her, she does not want me to take photos.
She wants commitment. She wants to build a nest.
It doesn't matter that she speaks French. It doesn't matter that she is an African. It makes no difference that she is from Cote d'Ivoire. She is from VENUS!
It's is not that hard to figure out, she's a woman :-).

My Virtual "I do"
May 7, 2020 • Rob Bujan
Some of you may have seen our client, attorney Matt Haicken in the news recently. Not due to a case, but because he got married via zoom on live TV!
Matt started his own personal injury law firm in 2015, after 8 years of working for others, his info can be found below. After 3+ years of part-time paralegals, (including his mother!) Matt hired his first full-time employee in 2019. It was then that he turned to us for a comprehensive group employee health plan.
As legislation surrounding personal injury is always lurking, many personal injury lawyers are active in political fundraising. Matt is no exception.
That's where he met his wife, Julie Raskin. Julie was helping raise money for a former business school classmate, 2018 Congressional candidate Liuba Shirley. Matt got an email about the fundraiser, saw that it was for a Democrat, and started "e-stalking" Julie. Fundraising quickly turned into dating and Matt proposed December of 2019. A wedding was planned for August 2020, but the pandemic certainly complicated the event.
At the end of April, Julie saw a tweet from her favorite anchorman, Pat Kiernan, saying that he was a wedding officiant, and was interested in marrying a couple via zoom on live TV. The rest is history.
Although the courts are shutdown, Matt continues to pay his paralegal's salary, and most importantly for us, her health insurance premiums!
While many firms have cut staff, salaries and health benefits, Matt refuses, saying that his way is just "the right thing to do".
Congratulations Matt and Julie! Matt, here's to many more years of happiness and business success, which will hopefully lead to your hiring many more employees who need health insurance.

September 2017 Church & State - September 2016
Darrow Statue Unveiled In Dayton, Tenn.
Sep 01, 2017 AU admin
A statue of Clarence Darrow, the lawyer who defended John T. Scopes when he taught evolution in a Tennessee public school, was unveiled in July in front of the Rhea County Courthouse, the site of the famous Scopes "monkey trial," in Dayton, Tenn.
Although protests were expected, it was a quiet unveiling, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The statue, created by Philadelphia sculptor Zenos Frudakis, will sit opposite a statue of William Jennings Bryan, the creationist attorney who successfully prosecuted Scopes for illegally teaching evolution at Dayton High School in 1925. The Bryan statue was erected in 2005.
In 2016, Bill Dusenberry, an Americans United activist in Oklahoma, told the Tulsa World that he was inspired to raise support and funds for a Darrow statue after seeing Bryan's statue when visiting Dayton in 2009. (See "Darrow In Dayton?" September 2016 Church & State.)
"It was obvious to me when I saw that he was not represented, that I needed to do my best to do something about it," Dusenberry said. Funds to erect the statue were raised through private sources.
Others share Dusenberry's sentiment. Ralph Green, president of the Rhea County Historical and Genealogical Society, previously told the Times Free Press that Darrow's statue completes the historic representation of the famous trial.
"The Scopes [t]rial would not have been what it was without the two of them," Green said.
Americans United Executive Director Barry W. Lynn and Communications Director Rob Boston provided statements endorsing the project that were used in the official program.

That was the message as the Wiz Happy Hour bar crawl train moved down the streets of Chinatown. With an NBA basketball balloon tied to my back (like an idiot) we strolled down 7th street chanting "Let's Go Wizards!", inviting anyone nearby with Wizards gear on to hop on the train.
The Washington Wizards hosted a poorly run bar crawl for the 2nd time of the season. Attendance appeared to be low and bartenders at all 6 stops along the way mentioned that they had very few Wizards fans show up. However, where the team failed the Wiz Happy Hour Crew made up for it as we visited each of the 6 stops along the way spreading the Wizards cheer all over Chinatown (Photos).
We started our crawl at Penn Social. They have a happy hour that runs every day of the week so all beers were $2 off, even on Saturday, perfect for our signature Brooklyn Winter Ale drink. We needed some food in our stomachs for the long journey ahead so we got the Uptown Nachos which were covered in chili, cheese, guacamole, sour creme, jalapenos, and pico de gallo ($12). We enjoyed a few drinks at the bar, rocked out to the classic rock on the jukebox, and had a basketball shooting contest where the loser was required to buy everyone else a shot. Soon most people had arrived and it was time to move along.
The signature drink for this stop was the Brooklyn Winter Ale, a scotch ale out of Brooklyn Brewery in New York ($5 at happy hour).
The next stop on the tour was the Iron Horse Taproom. The bouncer at the door thought my sweatshirt was a Yuengling bottle (WTF) so we were already off to a great start. There was a sign on the wall mentioning a "mystery shot" so we decided to make this our first group shot. It was pretty terrible but as they used to say a long long long time ago, YOLO! Ew makes me sick to type that.
The bar was just about empty, but we picked up about 7 new people to join our crawl and engage in some bar / basketball / life talk. We even let a Celtics fan in on the action. BOOO!!! Well a few more drink in the 30 minutes allotted and it was on to the next one. Follow the balloon!
The signature drink for this stop was the Mystery Shot, which on this day was something that tasted like fruit and was reddish pink. ($5 all times).
Next was quite a walk (like 3 blocks, lol) to RFD the official check in bar of the Wizards Bar Tour. As expected the check in table was hidden and the guy running it was basically just napping. We even walked next to the table and someone yelled "Don't get a wrist band, beer is $3 anyways". This is something we've known and another reason Wizards Bar Tours are poorly run and not attended well.
RFD random drink happy hour ends at 5pm on weekends but they have $3 Bud Light 16oz Aluminums (Possibly at all times). But as one bar goer stated "You don't go to RFD for bud light". True. You also don't go to RFD for a cereal bowl shot, but somehow that happened. If you don't know what a cereal bowl shot is it is basically old milk mixed with liquor or something. Terrible!
After another few drinks here it was time to move on to the next spot.
We were halfway done our bar crawl and halfway in the bag as we walked down to the hidden dungeon that is Jackpot. Jackpot is a chill spot and also has a $2 off beer happy hour that runs on weekends as well (til 8pm). We took advantage of this with some beer out of Hershey, PA, the Troegs Mad Elf. Warm & toasty!
The group noshed on the free popcorn and begged me to slow the train down, but there is no rest for the weary! On to the next!
The signature drink was the Troegs Mad Elf, a Belgian Strong Dark Ale brewed by Troegs Brewing Company out of Hershey, PA. ($6 at Happy Hour).
Next up was another basement bar, rocket bar. This was the spot where I asked the bartender how many Wizards fans showed up and she screamed with emotion "Not a single one!". Rocket Bar is where things begin to get blurry, which wasn't helped by the shot of Jamison we took. I'm pretty sure things happened and discussions were had and I yelled at everyone telling them it was time to move on!
The final stop on the tour before the game was Lucky Strike bowling alley / bar / lounge / whatever for a final shot before we headed into the game. Only 5 remained but all 5 of us made all 5 stops! For some reason Lucky Strike is always included on these bar crawls and every time there is not a single person at the bar. That's why our time here was 4 minutes. In and out!
Somehow after the bar crawl was over, a few of us ended up in a luxury suite enjoying free food and some free Budweiser cans. I don't know what suite it was, who let us in, or how we got there, but we did it. And we think we watched the Wizards win, but I'll have to recheck the box score.
Overall, the awesome group of people we assembled (and the many people who joined us here and there) made this bar crawl event a huge success. I had no confidence we would make it through all 6 bars but somehow and some way we did it! Just like the Wizards we stuck to our plan, utilized our combination of veterans and youth, and fought til the very end. We're going to the bar playoffs baby!!! And if anyone from the Wizards is reading this and wants people to attend their events, give me a call. I'm available for a price.


So, this is my life. Eisley figured out how to climb onto our side table and she now manages to find a way to do this every single morning, one way or another. Oh, dear.
Aww, that's cute. And frusterating, since I bet she tries to get up there again after you put her down!
It's cute the things little kids like to do though.
haha too cute. you've got a little monkey on your hands.

Q: Using Three20 ThumbViewer with AssetsLibrary framework I'm trying to use TTThumbsViewController in conjunction with the AssetsLibrary framework to present a photo gallery similar to the one built into the iPhone.
I'm trying by implementing a Photo class which implementes NSObject<TTPhoto> and wrapping the appropriate properties, but getting hung up on size, which is supposed to be a CGSize.
Short question:
How do I find the dimensions of an ALAsset as a CGSize?
Long question:
Am I going down the right road? Is there an easier way to do this?

A: I would say that the Three20 project, while excellent adds a lot of overhead to your project.
If you just want a better ImagePicker, you might take a look at this project:

National American University Foundation Awards First Criminal Justice Scholarship in Memory of David Donnelly
RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA – Freddie Rick Cortez, a National American University (NAU) Criminal Justice student and Sergeant in the U.S. Army, has been awarded the first David Donnelly Memorial Criminal Justice Scholarship from the nonprofit NAU Foundation.
Sgt. Cortez was selected from among several applicants. Eligible students were enrolled in NAU's College of Legal Studies and pursuing criminal justice degrees. They were judged on academic achievement, financial need and an essay relating to their career goals.
Originally from the Philippines, Sgt. Cortez immigrated with his family to the United States at the age of three. He struggled to adjust, experiencing difficulty with the language and being teased for looking different.
Things improved for Sgt Cortez after moving with his family from Queens, New York to Lakeland, Florida. He excelled at high school, graduating in the top 15% of his class and receiving a full Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship to attend Florida Southern College.
"Unfortunately, I was not mature enough to recognize what a gift my scholarship was at that time," remarked Sgt. Cortez. "Being on my own for the first time, I was enjoying college night life too much and my grades suffered."
After losing his scholarship, he turned to the military to "straighten up my life."
Sgt. Cortez is now the section chief in an artillery unit who has been deployed to Iraq. In 2016 he enrolled at NAU to pursue a criminal justice degree, taking advantage of flexible scheduling.
This scholarship is being offered in memory of David Donnelly, a NAU alumnus who earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice and was one credit shy of his Master's degree.
David lost his battle with cancer in October 2016, leaving behind a wife and three children. A veteran, David was a Sergeant in the U .S. Army and, at the time of his passing, a police officer for the Department of Air Force. He had hoped to one day teach criminal justices courses at NAU.
"A scholarship which aims to reward an exceptional NAU criminal justice student is a fitting tribute to David's service to our country and his connection to NAU," said Tamie Hopp, NAU's director of alumni and foundation services. "Sgt. Cortez, who is a solder and an exceptional criminal justice student, exemplifies so well the purpose of this scholarship – to create a lasting legacy in David's memory."
"Dave loved the professors and spoke often of his goal – to teach criminal justices courses with NAU," said Becky Donnelly, David's wife. "Our family is honored to have a scholarship in his name and I know he would be proud."
"I am so grateful to Sgt. Donnelly's family for their blessings for this scholarship," said Sgt. Cortez upon learning he had been selected. "I went back to school for my family, not only for my wife and daughter, but also for my father. He pushed me to do my best, and was proud of everything I did. He passed away this past summer after open-heart surgery."
Ultimately, Sgt. Cortez hopes to be an immigration service officer for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), drawing on his experience as an immigrant and wanting to be in a position to help people.
"NAU has given me a chance to pursue this dream and a second chance at college."
The David Donnelly Memorial Criminal Justice Scholarship was made possible by Tracy Deifenbach, PhDc, ED, CHSSO, criminal justice faculty for NAU, and Charlene Henry, MA, JD, Associate Dean, College of Legal Studies, NAU, and other donors.
The National American University Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, supports NAU students and faculty through scholarships and professional development funds. More information is available at www.naufoundation.org. Visit the David Donnelly Memorial Criminal Justice Scholarship donation page to contribute to this fund.

Neil Kurtzman Comments and reviews of opera, music, and medicine
Don Giovanni in HD 2016
Written by Neil Kurtzman | 22nd October 2016
This telecast could serve as the imprimatur of what's wrong with opera in the 21st century. This is said not to criticize the Mozart/Da Ponte masterpiece which, of course is one of opera's greatest works. Rather, it's a swipe at the management of today's opera houses in general and the Met's in particular. These telecasts are only a decade old and yet the Met is repeating broadcasts of productions that have already been presented. In addition to Don Giovanni, Rusalka, La Traviata, and Eugene Onegin (for the third time) are being repeated. Is the repertory so impoverished or restricted that half the telecasts need to be retreads? These stutters are even more remarkable given that the two most interesting productions of this Met season are not on the TV list – William Tell and I Puritani.
Michael Grandage's 2011 production looks a little grungier than it did 5 years ago, but otherwise is a traditional rendition of DG that get's everybody on and off the stage with no delay. The cast is entirely different, except for conductor Fabio Luisi. Simon Keenlyside returned to the Met after a four year absence secondary to medical problems. He looks about 20 years older than the rest of the cast which makes his a geriatric Don. I found his impersonation of the great seducer (who seduces no one during the span of the opera) coarse and stilted. The Don may be crazy, but he must have had some charm to allow for Leporello's conquest list. He can't just be a nasty piece of work Keenlyside's voice also sounded a bit ragged.
Leporello is as important a role as is Don Giovanni. Adam Plachetka, a Czech bass-baritone, made his Met debut last year as Masetto. This year he's moved up to the Don's much abused side-kick. He has a beautiful, dark, and virile voice. His acting is vivid and convincing. He realized both the humor and pathos inherent in Leporello. Only 31 years old, a great career seems before him. He has Don Giovanni in his repertoire; tall and good looking he'll likely do this role in New York before too long.
Paul Appleby is a young American tenor who graduated from the Met's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program and received the 2012 Leonore Annenberg Fellowship in the Performing and Visual Arts. He has all the notes for Don Ottavio's two demanding arias. What he lacks at this early stage of his career is the grace and suavity of vocal line needed to realize Mozart's intricate music.
Matthew Rose is a British baritone who was Masetto today. He made his Met debut this season in this role. He too has an impressive voice and will move up to Leporello before this run is over.
Korean bass Kwangchul Youn was appropriately ominous and commanding as Giovanni's nemesis. He's appeared 84 times with the company since his Met debut in 2004.
Hibla Gerzmava is an Abkhazian-Russian operatic soprano who currently resides in Moscow. Since making her Met debut in 2010, she has appeared with the company 43 times. Her Donna Anna was vocally a little light and throaty. I thought her voice better suited for Donna Elvira. I also thought that Swedish soprano Malin Byström would be a fine Donna Anna. The Met seems to agree as she's due to sing the role at the Met later in this season. She's a very attractive woman whose rejection by the Don emphasizes that he's after something beyond good looks, devotion, and personality. What exactly he's after is ambiguous and is the reason that he must be portrayed as more than a feckless womanizer.
Italian mezzo-soprano Serena Malfi was Zerlina. This is a role usually given to light soprano. Ms Malfi handled her part with aplomb.
Conductor Fabio Luisi got everything needed from the Met's great orchestra. The opera's penultimate scene was powerful and terrifying as it should be. All I can complain about is that he wore white tie and tails for an afternoon performance. Matthew Diamond's TV direction was completely invisible as it should be. He gets a perfect score.
This brings me the weirdest moment I've observed on these telecasts – Simon Keenlyside's interview with TV hostess Joyce DiDonato. As soon as Keenlyside appeared, he went into a breathless monologue about liberty which then morphed into a slaughter of the Declaration of Independence. He briefly touched on the French Revolution which he tenuously connected to Don Giovanni. Still on the same breath he simultaneously came out in favor and in opposition to multiculturalism. Then he allowed that his brain was small which hearkening back to Jefferson's Declaration was by now self evident. While this filibuster was transpiring DiDonato's jaw kept descending until it reached her patella. She appeared desperate to get Keenlyside back to Seville, but he wouldn't stop talking or leave until he revealed the atrophic condition of his cerebrum. I hope the interview makes it onto PBS and the inevitable DVD. Opera is great.

Curiculum Vitae


On Wednesday 28 November at 6-00 p.m., in the Wes End Gallery in Smarden, Kent, there will be a re-launch of C.J.Driver's most recent book of poems, a sequence of 22 poems entitled BEFORE, published by Crane River in association with the Africa Sun Press. Jonty will read some of the poems, and there will be drinks and "small eats". All are welcome.
BEFORE was first published three years ago in the South African poetry magazine, New Contrast. Now published as a separate book in August 2018, BEFORE was launched in Cape Town at Clarke's Bookshop in Long Street, at a regular poetry reading Off the Wall in Observatory, and at the 2018 Poetry in McGregor festival. In South Africa, it is available from Clarke's Bookshop and other booksellers; in the U.K., from C.J.Driver at Apple Yard Cottage, Mill Lane, Northiam, Ryte, TN31 6JU (send a cheque made out to C.J.Driver for £5 plus £2 for packaging & postage, or email jontydriver@hotmail.com and he will send details of online purchase).
On Friday 2nd November (All Souls' Day) at 6-15 p.m., C.J.Driver read his sequence of poems, REQUIEM, in the parish church of Ewhurst Green. Martin Bradshaw, cellist, played excerpts from Bach's Cello Suite No 1 in between some of the poems. This recital is part of the local commemoratioin of the centenary of the end of WW1. REQUIEM was the order of service in Evensong at Westminster Abbey in 2014, read by the Revd Christopher Chivers, and has been similarly used in the John Keble church in North London and St Mary's in the Marsh.
A collectioin at the end of this recital on 2nd November has been shared between the chcurch and the Hantam Community Education Projerct in the Karoo.
There were four poems by C.J.Driver in a recent Oxford Magazine (No 396): "Last Lesson of a Wintry Afternoon: a Kaddich for Joanna, Lady Seldon", "Extract from a Diary", "Diary Entry" (Hospital poem) and "On Shadows". A letter to the Oxford Magazine, No 397, explained that "On Shadows" was dedicated to Ken Gross and Liza Lorwin; Ken recently edited a new edition of John Hollander's ON THE SUBSTANCE OF SHADOW.
There was a poem by C.J.Driver in the Spectator (March 10, 2018) entitled "For the One Only" and another, "An Old Man & His Wife", in the Spectator (November 2, 2018). "Manifesto" – a defence of the iambic pentameter - appeared in STANZAS, No 11. Two poems appeared in the magazine Theology, May 2018, No 121 No 3: "In a French Garden" and "The hymn of the Christian atheist". Other poems have been variously accepted, and will be announced when they have actually appeared.
A bigger volume, STILL FARTHER, New Poems 2000-2016, is with a publisher at the moment, waiting for a decision.
Jonty & Isobel Dixon, poet & literary agent, did a shared reading at the Mayfield Festival on Thursday 10th May: "Poems of Home & Exile".
On 11th July, as part of the JAM (John Armitage Memorial) Festival, Jonty read some recently published poems to an enthusiastic audience in St Michael's Church, Hythe. Peter Fields, violinist, provided some tunes in between the poems. At the end of the reading, there was a collection for the Hantam Community Education Trust in the Karoo, South Africa. Last year, Jonty contributed a foreword to the history by Anne Hill of the first 25 years of the HCET.
SOME SCHOOLS, described as a "professional memoir", was published by John Catt Educational Ltd in September 2016. It is an 80,000 word account of the various schools Jonty Driver worked in after his arrival in the U.K. in 1964, immediately after his release from detention in solitary confinement by the South African security police as a consequence of the two years he spent as President of the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS).
The schools are: Sevenoaks (1964-5, 1967-73), Matthew Humberstone Comprehensive School (1973-8), Island School, Hong Kong (1978-83), Berkhamsted School (1983-9), and Wellington College (1989-2000). The positions he held in those schools were: English teacher, then Housemaster of the International Sixth Form Centre; Director of Sixth Form Studies; Principal; Headmaster; and Master (a Chinese friend, a stranger to English terminology, once murmured, "Downhill all the way").
SOME SCHOOLS has a generous foreword by Sir Anthony Seldon, Master of Wellington 2006-2015. The book is available from the publisher, from local bookshops or from Amazon.
In September 2015, a short biography, THE MAN WITH THE SUITCASE, The Life, Execution and Rehabilitation of John Harris, Liberal Terrorist, was published by the Crane River pubklishers in Cape Town. Fifty years ago, John Harris was hanged for having placed a bomb in the concourse of Johannesburg station, which caused the death of a bystander and injured horribly others nearby. Although Harris had warned the police and the press about the bomb, no effort to clear the concourse was made. Driver has come up with new evidence that the decision not to clear the concourse after the warnig may have been made as deliberate policy.
C.J.Driver is one of the patrons of the literary magazine, STANZAS, first published in September 2015, and edited by Doug Skinner and Patricia Schonstein - see www.stanzas.co.za for details. A number of poems by Jonty have first appeared in that magazine.


Well this was unexpected. I didn't think I'd be getting two major collaborations of my favourite designers with high street brands this close together. But it looks like Mary Katrantzou's latest collaboration is with sports giant Adidas. And just when I was getting around to buying those expensive Nike trainers and converting to them, Adidas came and blew it all out of the water.
Set to launch sometime in November, this is more than just a once-off collaboration and it will debut clothing and footwear.
Equally as excited is Dirk Schoenberger, Global Creative Director of Adidas's sport style division. "I admire Mary's extraordinary sense of printing techniques, colours and silhouette that will bring another amazing new aesthetic to the adidas originals women's collection," he told Vogue.
Now, I was never the sporty kind, whether it's exercise or wearing sports clothing. I've always been more feminine and classic, but lately I've been leaning towards sports apparel, so I'm genuinely curious to see what they are going to come up with. Will it just be their standard sports gear with Mary's quintessential prints all over it, or will they be wearable daywear?
I honestly can't fathom how this collection will turn out to, so I'll be eagerly waiting for the first images to hit the web.
What do you guys think of this new collaboration? Will it be worth it? Let me know.
wow, thanks for sharing the news, can't wait!


Your students have developed questions, done research, and formed conclusions. They have accumulated pieces of knowledge, and are ready to share with you or with others. Sharing is an important piece of the learning process. Join Melissa Edwards as she explores some tech tools that your students can use to share and demonstrate their knowledge and creativity!
Helpful for working with MYP and IB student presentations, in addition to the regular classroom. Thanks! Audio was not the easiest to understand.
Trying to incorporate in reading and writing across all content curriculum (science). Should be able to use the writing suggestions for labs/experiments.
It is evident that you are passionate and very knowledgeable!
Great ideas will try a couple of them and see how they work. Hard to understand, watched on demand and had to listen 2/3 times to get it.

Q: Bottom Navigation Bar Overflows The bottom of my navigation bar goes out to the left too much. Please help!
Here is my html:

Here is my css:
#bottem {
  margin-right: 10px;
  margin-left: 10px;
  background-color: rgba(51, 126, 198, 0.28);
  display: inline-block;
  width: 100%;
}

here is my website:
enter image description here

A: Use css padding property like in the code below. padding property are use for generating space around it's content from left side. If you want to generate the space from all directions,then just use padding only eg. padding:20px.

#bottem {
  padding:5px 20px; /*5px = top & bottom, 20px = left & right;*/
  background-color: rgba(51, 126, 198, 0.28);
}

Made by xyz 2016

More Info

A: In this case you need to have an inner element that can be padded without contributing to the width of the outer element.

#bottom {
  background-color: rgba(51, 126, 198, 0.28);
  display: inline-block;
  width: 100%;
}
#bottom-inner {
  margin-right: 10px;
  margin-left: 10px;
  background-color: rgba(51, 126, 198, 0.28);
}

Made by xyz 2016

With lots of help from Develop Academy

More Info

A: Since you have your width at 100%, your padding just makes the width bigger. That's why it's overflowing. You can get rid of your padding. Or you can set your width using pixels.
Or you can set width and padding using px or %. Just make sure they add up to 100. Read about the box model here:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp
padding: 5%;
width: 90%;

A: This is a really easy fix haha.
You have your margin left and right set to 10px, but elements have their own natural margin. The other answers do solve some of those issues, but to keep a div centered it is best to just use
margin:0 auto;

this will have the browser eliminate the top and bottom margins and calculate the rest to keep your div centered in the viewport.
Also, if this does not solve your issue please give more details.
Another question I have, is why do you have it set to inline-block?


In this sequel to The Dark Mirror, King Bridei of the Priteni believes his mission is to eradicate the Gaels and their Christian religion from his lands. He is a strong king, brave in battle and devout in his allegiance to the old gods, so he's the ideal person to unite the Priteni against this outside threat. Bridei is planning a big move against the Gaels, but in order to succeed, he needs the help of a foreign chieftain named Alpin. Bridei therefore proposes to offer his royal hostage, Ana, to Alpin as a bride, hoping this will ensure his loyalty. Ana longs to marry for love, but she knows she has no choice in the matter. She sets out for Alpin's lands in the company of Faolan, Bridei's most trusted bodyguard, spy, and assassin. As Ana and Faolan travel together, their relationship deepens, but she is already promised to Alpin. And when she finally arrives at Alpin's court, Ana discovers a shocking secret that will have drastic implications for both Bridei's campaign and her own heart.
Much like its predecessor, The Dark Mirror, this book is very slow-paced, and I had trouble getting into it as a result. I find the world of this series fascinating; it's based on historical facts (the Priteni were real, and Bridei really was their king for a time), but Marillier weaves many fantastical elements into the setting. Half the novel focuses on Ana's story, while the other half follows Bridei's campaign against the Gaels. Personally, I was much more interested in Ana's story, especially since I always enjoy a little romance with my fantasy! Interestingly, the story seems very predictable at first, but it eventually veers into an unexpected direction. I wasn't entirely pleased with the resolution of Ana's story, but it does provide some interesting avenues to explore in the final book of the trilogy. I'll definitely be reading The Well of Shades to see how everything turns out, but I don't think this series is Marillier's best work. Try her Sevenwaters books instead!
I liked this trilogy, although I agree it's slower than her other books. I was also a little disappointed by the resolution of Ana's story. I just wasn't all that fond of…Whatshisname, I've already forgotten, the one Ana ends up with. *However* the third book focuses largely on Faolan, made me feel so much better about the end of the second book, and was my favorite of the trilogy. So I'm glad to hear you plan to read on!
YES! Who even cared about that guy?! I definitely will read the third book, since I've already got a copy sitting on my shelves. And I'm glad it's about Faolan…I just want him to find some happiness, finally!
YES!! 😀 We are so on the same page here–and I really hope you're going to love the third one!


There are many reasons the Netherlands is a great place to live and work. Its strategic location as the gateway to Europe, world-class infrastructure, and innovative business-friendly environment are attracting companies from all over the world. Individuals also enjoy living here because everyone speaks English and, according to the latest UN World Happiness Report, the Netherlands is one of the top 10 happiest countries in the world with an exceptional quality of life.
3. Partner with a Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) who offers Employer of Record (EOR) services.
The option you choose will depend on many factors, such as the size of your business, how many people you need to employ and your future plans. However, for many companies taking their first steps into the Dutch market, employing people directly feels too risky and too burdensome. Using EOR services can make your life so much easier.
What is Employer of Record (EOR) and how it can help me?
For a fixed fee, a Professional Employer Organisation (PEO), such as Blue Clue, can offer a complete EOR umbrella service. We effectively act as an employer on behalf of our clients. This makes a lot of sense if you are, for example, taking on your first few employees in the Netherlands perhaps to research the market or service existing clients.
• Monthly salary calculations and payslips (in Dutch and English) for you and your employees or contractors • Monthly payroll tax filing • Monthly pension premium filing (after six months) • A1 certificate for Dutch social security for employees • Payroll tax appeals, if required • Annual income statements • Free phone calls and email correspondence.
2. You won't have to worry about all the Dutch employment laws and exceptions.
If you are employing people directly, you will need to consider a wide range of laws concerning long-term illness and disability insurance and arbondienst (a form of occupational health and safety service) for your employees. There are also a range of different rules governing temporary and permanent employment contracts, probation periods, redundancy and dismissal.
As a PEO we can also offer four and a half years of flexible employment contracts, under the temp agencies collective labour agreement. In Dutch law, the fourth temporary contract within 24 months is otherwise re-qualified as a permanent contract.
In summary, while EOR services will not suit every business, they are worth considering if you are taking your first steps into the Dutch market. Partnering with a PEO, such as Blue Clue, takes away the hassle, stress and worry of complying with numerous pieces of employment legislation. It leaves you free to focus on what you do best – running your business.
We are always happy to advise companies and individuals on the best options for their Dutch employment contracts, payroll and tax considerations. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
There are many reasons the Netherlands is a great place to live and work. Its strategic location as the gateway to Europe, world-class infrastructure, and innovative business-friendly environment are attracting companies from all over the world.
Welcome to our first Blue Clue blog and this exclusive interview with our Founder, Ton Krol.
In future blogs we'll be covering the latest news and views on living, working and doing business in the Netherlands. We'd also love to hear your thoughts. If you have any topics, concerns or questions that you'd like us to cover in future blogs, please let us know.
On 19 September 2017 the Dutch Ministry of Finance published its tax budget proposals for 2018. One of the most important changes regards the reduction of the Dutch Dividend Withholding Tax (DWT) to nil for international business activities. Below we will explain these changes and we will address the remaining proposed changes relevant for multinational companies. We note that the proposed changes may be subject to some amendments. Voting in the Dutch Parliament is scheduled for 16 November 2017.
Will dividend withholding tax between Netherlands and Curaçao go down?
Netherlands and Curaçao have reached an agreement on the new rules on the avoidance of double taxation between the Netherlands and Curaçao. For Curaçao the exemption of dividend withholding tax is important. To prevent avoid abuse the shareholder on Curaçao will have to meet extra conditions.
Have you paid VAT in other EU Member States than you can reclaim this by submitting a refund request prior to October 1st of the following year and if you meet the conditions.

Montgomery County and two Chester County communities will receive checks for their recycling efforts as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Recycling Development and Implementation Grant Program.
Montco, Phoenixville and Schuylkill all have grant money coming their way.
Phoenixville will receive $151,793 for more than 5,000 tons of recycling in 2008 and 2009; Schuylkill will receive $18,657 for 889.5 tons recycled in 2009; and Montgomery County will receive $28,947 to reimburse 50 percent of the county recycling coordinator's salary and expenses.
The grants, as the Mercury reports, are an incentive for communities to increase their recycling.


The following document presents a series of one-page descriptions of those vascular plants in Oregon currently being reviewed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for possible protection under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. It offers basic information on the identification, ecology, and geographic distribution of each taxon. Its purposes are to summarize current knowledge of each of these species and to stimulate further research on them. It is anticipated that this guide will be useful to both the professional and the concerned layperson. It should be of interest to anyone working with the rare plants found in Oregon. However, it has been designed primarily for those government land managers and field personnel who are responsible for determining and implementing public land policy affecting the majority of candidate species within the state. It is not a substitute for technical floristic works or detailed local reports, but provides the degree of familiarization necessary for land managers who wish to recognize the potentially threatened or endangered plants which occur in their areas.

Saigon Opera House, also known as Ho Chi Minh Municipal Theater is located in Dong Khoi Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Situated in the city center, it is considered the versatile theater of the city, organizing art performances and hosting numerous major events as well. The theater is inspired by Empire architecture and is regarded as an appealing tourist attraction in Ho Chi Minh City, luring the large number of tourists.
Right from 1863, there were numerous French art troupes to Vietnam to serve the French expeditionary troops. At first, they performed at the wooden house of an Admiral at Dong Ho Square (Place de L'Horloge) at the corner of Nguyen Du - Dong Khoi. Then a temporary theater was set in the place of Caravelle Hotel as nowadays. Opera House (Ho Chi Minh Munnicipal Theater as today) started its construction in 1898. It was solemnly inaugurated in early 1900. The facade of the theater was decorated with numerous statues and sculpted statues under architectural style at that time. Between the World War I and the World War II, and after the French reconquering Indochina, due to war conditions, the theater was not much embellished. It was used as a place of shelter for French civilians migrating from the north to the south of Vietnam under Geneva Agreement in 1954. The theater was renovated but used for functions of Congress Building (later known as the House of Representatives) of the Republic of Vietnam government. Yet the Opera House was returned its original function as the art performance after 1975.
As one of the attractive sights in Ho Chi Minh City travel, Saigon Opera House is an architectural counterpoint to Hanoi Opera House (built in 1911 by architect Broger et Harloy with the architectural form of Garnier theater in Paris, including 900 seats). Saigon Opera House holds its own specific features nowhere else can be found. The authors of the architecture are the architects Félix Olivier, Ernest Guichard and Eugène Ferret. The whole building was built in 1900 under the "flamboyant" style of the Third French Republic. The entrance of the facade was strongly influenced by the artistic architecture of Petit Palais, which was built in the same year in France.
Modern interior design with fully well-equipped facilities offers the best sound and light quality. In particular, all of the decorative patterns, facade reliefs and the interior are inspired from Opera House in France in the late 19th century. However, the decoration in the facade of Saigon Opera House got a lot of criticism. Built in Empire style (later decorated in the Beaux Arts style, and simplified in the style of Art Deco), the theater's facade is richly decorated with numerous reliefs and sculpted statues. That caused whole building quite cumbersome and confusing. Those decorative details then were removed to rejuvenate architectural styles in 1943. Particularly, on the occasion of the 300th founding Saigon in 1998, the contemporary government rehabilitated the theater to preserve its original architectural style. Accordingly, prominent decorations such as 2 art goddesses, floral wires, and 2 lamps... has been restored, creating the magnificent beauty as today.
Besides the natural beauty of the landscapes, climate and humans, these structures also represent the unique historical and cultural characteristics of the city. Thanks to its tremendous historical significance, witnessing the vicissitudes of the history, Saigon Opera House is worth a fully alluring attraction in Ho Chi Minh City.

SA Civil Aviation Authority suspends LTMI AMO approval
byMichael Jonga
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) suspended the approval of Lufthansa Technik Maintenance International (LTMI) for 24 hours on March 22, 2022.
LTMI, a subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik and Comair, is one of the Aircraft Maintenance Organizations (AMO) that maintains the fleet of Comair.
A statement released on March 23, 2022, reveals that the 24-hour suspension follows a four-day audit, which started on March 15, 2022, and resulted in four Level 1 findings.
"The audit of both the AMOs maintaining the Comair fleet follows the conclusion of the airline's audit by the SACAA following a spate of incidents taking place from February 2022," according to the SACAA.
A spokesperson from Lufthansa Technik confirmed to AeroTime that the SACAA "temporarily suspended the approval for LTMI in South Africa".
"LTMI now has 24 hours to resolve two open topics that were identified during last week's audit and could not yet be remedied. Safety is the top priority for the entire Lufthansa Technik Group. LTMI is therefore in permanent exchange with the authorities and has set up a special quality management team to remedy the identified deficiencies sustainably and as quickly as possible," the spokesperson added.
South Africa carrier Comair flights canceled indefinitely after AOC suspended
byVictoria Bryan
In an initial statement, the regulator announced Comair's AOC had been suspended "for a period of 24 hours" on March 12, 2022, as a precautionary measure after incidents of "engine failures, engine malfunction and landing gear malfunctions, amongst others" were reported during the previous month.
As the 24-hour period concluded, the SACAA proceeded to indefinitely suspend the Comair's AOC after raising three Level 1 findings and one Level 2 finding.
The regulator then reinstated Comair's Air Operator Certificate (AOC) on the evening of March 16, 2022, following a five-day suspension. During this period the regulator inspected "Comair's safety management systems (SMS) and quality control management system (QA) to establish compliance related to the reporting, analysis and follow-up on occurrences, and corrective action plans to prevent recurrence".
South Africa reinstates Comair's Air Operator Certificate
byVyte Klisauskaite
According to the SACAA, "a review to establish legislative compliance related to reporting, analysis and follow-up of occurrences, and corrective action plans to prevent recurrence," was conducted across LTMI's quality control management system (QC) and safety management systems (SMS) during the four-day audit period.
The audit resulted in four Level 1 findings, stating that "a Level 1 finding poses an immediate risk to users of civil aviation services and such findings must be closed immediately".
On March 20, 2022, the regulator shared the initial results of the audit with Lufthansa's (LHAB) (LHA) accountable manager and his team giving the AMO 24 hours to make representations.
According to the regulator, the evidence provided "was found to be satisfactory in relation to two of the Level 1 findings, "leaving two outstanding Level 1 findings unclosed within the stipulated time".
"It is for this reason that the SACAA handed a 24-hour precautionary suspension of the privileges of the AMO with effect from Monday night [March 22, 2021]," the SACAA said.
"The operator [LTMI] is required to submit further evidence to close the gaps identified by the Regulator within this period failing which the Regulator will indefinitely suspend the approval of the AMO until such findings are sufficiently closed," the regulator added.

For me, I just can't wait to get to work! One attempt to steal the notes has already been made, so the Bishop assigns Father Unwin and Matthew to protect the train's cargo.
In his fevered dreams, Unwin finds himself on a dangerous mission to deliver medical supplies to Bishopsville, flying in Gabriel to Africa where he and Matthew are captured by natives and attacked by mercenary fighter jets. And, I agree with you that it's very difficult to teach someone all of the complexity of the different laboratory areas.

It's very important to understand the requirements of a particular state you will work in versus where you obtain your degree.
Examples of common laboratory tests include tests to detect anemia, diagnose diabetes and strep throat, and provide a transfusion to an accident victim. It is disappointing when people do not understand or appreciate the necessary skill set required to perform our work at the highest levels. I didn't even know what it was about, or that it was even offered, but looked into it and found it to be a great match! Unwin and Matthew trail Mullins to Hazlewell Manor and join a frantic chase to retrieve the second plate from an old barn at Greenacre Farm. The leading one of which, and indeed that which embraces most others, is to be honest and just ourselves and to exact it from others, meddling as little as possible in their affairs where our own are not involved.

The macaron's origin isn't definitively clear, but it is thought to have been brought to France from Italy as early as 1533 by Catherine di Medici and her pastry chefs. Macarons gained fame in 1792 when two Carmelite nuns seeking asylum in Nancy during the French Revolution baked and sold macarons in order to support themselves, thus becoming known as "The Macaron Sisters." The macarons they made were a simple combination of ground almonds, egg whites, and sugar. No special flavors. No filling. Just 100% cookie.
Years later, our Macarons are filled will wonderful tastes, flavour and fillings. We are not the Macaron Sisters but instead a mother and daughter partnership who are so happy that these little treats were invented.

Q: Continuous Speech Recognition on browser like "ok google" or "hey siri" I am doing a POC and my requirement is that I want to implement the feature like OK google or Hey Siri on browser.
I am using the Chrome Browser's Web speech api. The things I noticed that I can't continuous the recognition as it terminates automatically after a certain period of time and I know its relevant because of security concern. I just does another hack like when the SpeechReognition terminates then on its end event I further start the SpeechRecogntion but it is not the best way to implement such a solution because suppose if I am using the 2 instances of same application on the different browser tab then It doesn't work or may be I am using another application in my browser that uses the speech recognition then both the application doesn't behave the same as expected. I am looking for a best approach to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

A: Since your problem is that you can't run the SpeechRecognition continuously for long periods of time, one way would be to start the SpeechRecognition only when you get some input in the mic.
This way only when there is some input, you will start the SR, looking for your magic_word.
If the magic_word is found, then you will be able to use the SR normally for your other tasks.
This can be detected by the WebAudioAPI, which is not tied by this time restriction SR suffers from. You can feed it by an LocalMediaStream from MediaDevices.getUserMedia.
For more info, on below script, you can see this answer.
Here is how you could attach it to a SpeechRecognition:
const magic_word = ##YOUR_MAGIC_WORD##;

// initialize our SpeechRecognition object
let recognition = new webkitSpeechRecognition();
recognition.lang = 'en-US';
recognition.interimResults = false;
recognition.maxAlternatives = 1;
recognition.continuous = true;

// detect the magic word
recognition.onresult = e => {
    // extract all the transcripts
    var transcripts  = [].concat.apply([], [...e.results]
      .map(res => [...res]
        .map(alt => alt.transcript)
      )
    );
  if(transcripts.some(t => t.indexOf(magic_word) > -1)){
    //do something awesome, like starting your own command listeners
  }
  else{
    // didn't understood...
  }
}
// called when we detect silence
function stopSpeech(){
    recognition.stop();
}
// called when we detect sound
function startSpeech(){
    try{ // calling it twice will throw...
      recognition.start();
  }
  catch(e){}
}
// request a LocalMediaStream
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({audio:true})
// add our listeners
.then(stream => detectSilence(stream, stopSpeech, startSpeech))
.catch(e => log(e.message));

function detectSilence(
  stream,
  onSoundEnd = _=>{},
  onSoundStart = _=>{},
  silence_delay = 500,
  min_decibels = -80
  ) {
  const ctx = new AudioContext();
  const analyser = ctx.createAnalyser();
  const streamNode = ctx.createMediaStreamSource(stream);
  streamNode.connect(analyser);
  analyser.minDecibels = min_decibels;

  const data = new Uint8Array(analyser.frequencyBinCount); // will hold our data
  let silence_start = performance.now();
  let triggered = false; // trigger only once per silence event

  function loop(time) {
    requestAnimationFrame(loop); // we'll loop every 60th of a second to check
    analyser.getByteFrequencyData(data); // get current data
    if (data.some(v => v)) { // if there is data above the given db limit
      if(triggered){
        triggered = false;
        onSoundStart();
        }
      silence_start = time; // set it to now
    }
    if (!triggered && time - silence_start > silence_delay) {
      onSoundEnd();
      triggered = true;
    }
  }
  loop();
}

Aleksandr Usyk
Aleksandr Usyk vs. Tony Bellew | Preview And Prediction
By Hans Themistode
Former WBC champ and top dog at Cruiserweight Tony Bellew (30-2-1, 20 KOs) is making his return back to the land of 200 pounders after a successful run at Heavyweight.
One that saw him knock out and retire former Heavyweight and Cruiserweight champ David Haye.
With all due respect to Haye this Saturday will be Bellew's toughest challenge by far. He will be looking to knockoff current unified Cruiserweight champion Aleksandr Usyk (15-0, 11 KOs).
Usyk seemingly will have many advantages physical advantages over Bellew which is why many of the oddsmakers have tabbed him as a prohibitive favorite.
That's a position Bellew is not only familiar with but one that he has shown to thrive under.
He was twice the underdog against Haye and was also expected to lose against Ilunga Makabu. (23-2, 22 KOs) Bellew not only won those matches but he did so in style. Usyk however is a different animal.
There's a reason that he is already on many if not all pound-for-pound lists with only 15 fights under his belt.
The best way to describe him is to imagine a much much bigger version of Vasyl Lomachenko.
He's that good.
As far measurable's go this is a pretty close call as both men stand at 6'3. Bellew the supposedly bigger man tipped the scales at 199.8 while Usyk came in slightly lighter at 198.8.
The weights for both of these men may have only been one pound apart but make no mistake about it, it will be Tony who comes into this contest with a considerable weight advantage.
Usyk is no small man but Bellew has spent over a year at the Heavyweight division. Expect him to pack the pounds back onto his frame and look much bigger tonight.
The reach advantage falls with Usyk as he has a 78 inch reach compared to Tony's 74. Now although this isn't a major difference the boxing ability between these two are.
A four inch reach advantage given to the man that is already known as one of the best pure boxers in the world could bring nightmares to Bellew tonight.
The storylines for this matchup are a plenty. Before Tony went up to the Heavyweight division and before he became champion at Cruiserweight he was knocked out cold by current Light Heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson in 2013.
Fortunately for Tony he moved up and began to find success. However you would be hard pressed to find anyone who thought his career would turn out as good as it has been. When he became WBC champ at Cruiserweight he was recognized as the man to beat at the weight. It was puzzling as to why he would want to risk everything he worked so hard to achieve in order to move up to Heavyweight to take on a very dangerous opponent in David Haye.
There first bout ended controversially as Haye ruptured his Achilles and was subsequently knocked out in the 11th. A rematch the following year saw Tony not only knock Haye out again but this time in much more impressive fashion.
Bellew had since retired, leaving the sport on a high note. That is before a callout from Usyk made him change course. Bellew has gone on the record to say that his bout tonight no matter the outcome will be his last.
As for Usyk he proved that he is the current number one Cruiserweight in the world when he won the World Boxing Super Series tournament. He defeated Mairis Briedis and Murat Gassiev in two very impressive performances.
If Usyk is not only able to beat Bellew but do so in dominant fashion his place on the pound-for-pound list will assuredly take a leap up.
As mentioned before Aleksandr Usyk's boxing abilities take a backseat to no one.
His ability to move and create angles are rarely if ever seen in the ring.
He has plenty of power to go along with that boxing ability as he has 11 knockouts in his 15 professional fights but it's his ability to box that is really eye opening.
No one expects Tony Bellew to able to outbox him. The way he was able to completely outclass previously unbeaten Murat Gassiev in the WBSS final was jaw dropping.
Tony Bellew
Tony Bellew has the ability to drop anyone. As a supposed smaller man he was able to drop David Haye several times enroute to ultimately knocking him out in back to back matchups.
Tony has said publicly that he does not expect to outbox Aleksandr Usyk but he does fully expect to knock him out.
Bellew May sport less of a knockout percentage then Usyk. 61 to 73 but no mistake about it, it will be Tony who comes into the matchup with the bigger punch.
We can also expect the hometown crowd of Manchester to fully be behind Tony as well.
For someone with as much skill as Aleksandr Usyk it is truly difficult to find any holes in his game.
He's a phenomenal boxer, he has plenty of knockout power and he has the ability to adjust no matter the circumstances.
The one issue he has shown in recent fights is that he has been stunned before.
Mairis Briedis managed to wobble him in there bout. Although he dominated Murat Gassiev in the finals he did manage to stun the big Ukraine man as well.
Fighting a dangerous puncher in Tony Bellew could lead to a few moments in the fight where Usyk manages to get rocked and could lead to a stoppage victory for the underdog.
For Tony it's not that he is bad at anything. To the contrary he is actually good in a lot of areas.
He's a good boxer and puncher. He also has plenty of heart. The problem is the person he is going up against beats him in just about every statistical category.
This will be a fun matchup. One that promises to not be a bore.
Tony Bellew will have the crowd behind him and will undoubtedly enter the ring with his confidence extremely high.
The sentimental aspect of this fight also falls in his favor. Bellew has said that win or lose this will be his last. If this is his actual last fight then unfortunately for him he will have to go out on a sour note.
Aleksandr Usyk is just to good.
Bellew will have his moments and the crowd will push and encourage him but Usyk is as good as they come.
Expect Usyk to go on to win a unanimous decision although a stoppage wouldn't completely shock me. Either way Usyk will leave the ring tonight with his belts entact.

Q: How properties.db is used in Forge Viewer? The sqlite database file properties.db is usually the biggest file in the output from https://extract.autodesk.io/.
What is it used for in Forge Viewer, and if it's not used, why is it available in the ZIP file?

A: The reason this example is copying both is that the purpose of the sample is to demo how to extract the 'bubble' from the Autodesk server. The Design File' properties are extracted in 2 formats: aka json (json.gz) and sqlLite (sdb/db).
The Autodesk Viewer only uses the json format, but other systems may prefer using sqlLite. The json approach makes it easier when you code executes in client browsers.
It is fairly easier to modify the sample to exclude the sqlLite database if you are not interested to get this file. I can point you which code you need to modify if that's something you want to do.

A: That file contains the components properties as a sqlite database, which are also contained in objects_xxx.json.gz. The viewer only uses the json format.
That article shows how you can easily run the extraction code your your side, it doesn't extract the .db file:

In its quest to build a better charging solution for battery-powered bikes, DigiNow has contrived a way for non-Tesla EV owners to take advantage of that brand's extensive level 2 "destination charging" network. DigiNow is a small company that produces hardware specifically for electric motorcycles as well as software for assorted applications, but these new products could dramatically expand its customer base. As you can see in the video above, its new adapter will allow you to score electrons for the Nissan Leaf, but it also works with any OEM vehicle that accepts the standard J1772 plug.
Behind this seemingly simple bit of kit, though, is a more complex story. After less-than-stellar success with the original Super Charger (two words, not to be confused with Tesla's Supercharger network) and a falling out with its fabrication partner, company principal Brandon Nozaki-Miller decided on a do-over, bringing manufacturing in-house and designing the Super Charger V2 using the same modular approach he takes with software. The goal of both old and new Super Charger was to dramatically increase the number of places to charge an electric motorcycle, but in so doing, DigiNow has created something that other EV owners can use.
The result is the basic adapter, which works with about seventy-five percent of level 2 Tesla stations (power output at these installations vary, which complicates things), and a separate "translator" that will connect to this adapter and open up the entire network. The Super Charger V2 (which ranges from the basic 4.6 kW-capable unit to 7.9 kWs, to 11.2 kWs, and comes with its own translator) fits into the "gas tank" area of the Zero S(R) and DS(R) electric motorcycles. DigiNow is also making an adapter that allows you to plug in your J1772 plug into the NEMA 14-50 outlets commonly found at RV campsites, and a splitter which you can plug into a level 2 charging station and provide three NEMA 5 outlets (the typical household 3-prong plug) so you can power a laptop, or other electronics, while at a charging station.
The various components are being distributed through motorcycle dealerships for now, including Hollywood Electrics in Los Angeles, California and Grand Canyon Cycles in Mesa and Phoenix, Arizona and are all individually priced. The J1772 plug with four feet of cord is $200; the Tesla adapter is $350; the NEMA 14-50 adapter, with two feet of cord, is $80; the three-way NEMA 5 splitter is $400. The translator that plugs into the Tesla adapter will only begin production later this year and should cost in the neighborhood of $80 - $120.
Pricing for the Super Charger V2 is now at lower, early adopter levels and starts at $1,755 for the initial unit, but can shoot all the way up to $3,600 for the fully-expanded 11.2 kW unit.
No word on how Tesla might respond to having vehicles from other manufacture's feeding from its destination charging system. It should also be noted that this adapter will not work with Tesla's level 3 Supercharger system. Although the California company often supplies the hardware and absorbs the installation costs, property owners where the stations are sited set the rules for their use, i.e., for customers only or fee-based.
