August 16, 2019 Maxine Frisbee Brutal News, Press Releases, Tour Dates 0

Led by enigmatic frontman and PhD candidate Dustin Bates, the band have made a mission to take fans on a journey through music, video, AR-integrated performances, a Marvel graphic novel, and online experiences, blurring the lines of science, fact, and fiction.
The band just dropped its latest visual communication in the form of the "MANIFEST" video. Watch it here.Starset's third album DIVISIONS provides the soundtrack to the next chapter of their overarching narrative — one of a dystopian future world divided by the technology that has taken over in a war for human consciousness — those obeying and implementing it, and those fighting against it. Clues have been left behind by The Starset Society through a series of transmissions of what will occur in the future. These have been seeded throughout the campaign for fans to find and for them to become part of the story itself in a search for knowledge and to reveal new music.
DIVISIONS arrives on September 13.

Take a peek at Marvel's Ultimate Spider-man Volume 2, Issue 4 in this comic book review.
Synopsis: Miles Morales finds himself bitten by a "stolen, genetically-altered spider that gave him incredibly arachnid-like powers" (Really? Really?). He's also a gay teen whose father is openly anti-mutant, not that either of them come into play this issue. Anyhow, overhearing on the news that Spider-man has been shot and killed, he manages to escape a school-imposed lock-down and witnesses Peter Parker's death first-hand. Grief-stricken over his previous choice to not use his powers for the good of others, Miles and his friend Ganke decide that "Maybe [Miles] is supposed to be Spider-Man now that we don't have one anymore".
Not: Bendis seems like he's really forcing his way into tying Miles Morales into the Ultimate Spider-Man storyline and it's just not nearly as fluid as his normal style. It's still a very entertaining issue, and I think he's just trying to get the formalities out of the way. Still, we're already four issues in.

We've heard some news that the Ohio Republican Party, run by Chairman Kevin DeWine, has kicked out Congressman Steve Stivers and Ohio State Senate campaigns from its headquarters. Only ORP staff is being allowed to stay. Apparently they are setting up their war room for their coordination against Governor Kasich. DeWine and his staff apparently will stop at nothing to stay in power.
For those who do not know, Governor John Kasich asked DeWine to step down over a year ago. Conservatives and tea-party groups are also unhappy with DeWine and want new leadership. There are several candidates running for the State Central Committee, and those results tonight could determine whether DeWine keeps his job.
Here are a few links where we have covered the desperate moves made by DeWine.
This is Kevin DeWine's kind of Republican. Let's kick her out of the ORP.

(Note: QMJHL map-and-post to be posted on May 21 2016.)
-My 2012 map-&-post on major junior hockey in Canada (CHL) from Nov.2012…Canadian Hockey League: location maps for WHL, OHL, and QMJHL teams (60 teams) and 2011-12 attendance data. Plus the top 3 highest drawing teams, the top 10-highest percent-capacities….
The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) is one of three Canadian major junior hockey leagues, along with the Western Hockey League (WHL) and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Since 1971-72, the 3 leagues have sent their league-champion to compete for the Memorial Cup title. Since 1975-76, the 3 leagues together comprise the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). The 3 CHL leagues are for players aged 16 to 20 – there are no restrictions for the amount of USA-born players on each team; however, non-Canadian-&-American players (ie, European and Russian players) are restricted to 2 per team roster. The 3 leagues of the CHL are quite a big deal, because approximately 54% of all NHL players, currently, were drafted from either the OHL, the WHL, or the QMJHL. {Citation: see 2nd paragraph, here [Ontario Hockey League page at en.wikipedia.org].}
Click on image below for:
Location-map of all the teams in the 3 leagues which comprise the Canadian Hockey League (CHL/60 teams)…
The CHL is an umbrella-organization for the 3 leagues; there is no inter-league play except for the post-season tournament…the CHL has a four-team playoff tournament – the Memorial Cup, which is played at a different host-city each May. (Note: see 3 paragraphs below for more info about the Memorial Cup.)
On the map page…
The map page shows the locations (and the logos) of the 20 OHL teams – 17 of which are in the Canadian province of Ontario, and 3 of which are USA-based: 2 from Michigan and 1 from Pennsylvania. The locations of all the NHL teams (from the region) are also shown on the map.
On the right-hand-side of the map page is a chart which shows 7 things…
1). 2015-16 average attendance {source: Ontario Hockey League 2015-16 Attendance Graph (hockeydb.com)}.
2). Home arena seated capacity.
3). Percent-capacity [average-attendance divided by arena-seated-capacity] (ie, how well the team fills its arena).
4). Metropolitan-area population of each team's home-city; or, as with the Owen Sound Attack, the team's home-town)…the metro-area population of Owen Sound, Ontario is 32,000. {Sources: List of census metropolitan areas and agglomerations in Canada [2011 census figures] (en.wikipedia.org) ; USA-based-teams: List of metropolitan areas of the United States (en.wikipedia.org).}
5). Season the team began play in its home-city. [Note: see boxes under the chart (on the map-page), pertaining to the Oshawa and Mississauga franchises, on this subject.]
6). OHL titles (and the year of last title). {OHL titles: J. Ross Robertson Cup (en.wikipedia.org).}
7). CHL/Memorial Cup titles (and the year of last title) [/ see notes below]. {Memorial Cup/CHL titles: List of Memorial Cup champions (en.wikipedia.org).}
Notes on the Memorial Cup title / CHL title…
The Memorial Cup was instituted in 1919, and was named in remembrance of the Canadians who died in the Great War (World War I). From 1919 to 1971, the Cup was contested between 2 teams: the best junior team each season from Eastern Canada versus the best junior team from Western Canada. (The winner won that season's Memorial Cup title.) The current format of the Memorial Cup tournament dates to 1971-72, when a 3-team playoff tournament was created. The tournament at that point [1972] involved the champion from each of the 3 leagues:
•The-long-established-[1933]-and-now-20-team OHL.
•The-established-in-1966-and-now-22-team-WHL.
•The-then-newly-established-[1971]-and-now-18-team-QMJHL.
4 years later [1975], the arrangement was formalized with the institution of the Canadian Hockey League – which, again, is the governing body of the OHL/WHL/QMJHL. In 1982-83, the Memorial Cup tournament was expanded to a 4th team, with the host-city's team given a place in the competition. (There is a different host-city for the Memorial Cup each May/ see next paragraph.) Currently, the 60 teams in the CHL (from the 3 member-leagues), which hail from 9 Canadian provinces and 4 American states, compete for the chance to qualify for the Memorial Cup tournament and win the Memorial Cup title/CHL title.
Red Deer, Alberta will host the 2016 Memorial Cup…
2016 Memorial Cup (en.wikipedia.org).
The 2016 Memorial Cup tournament will be held at the 6,000-capacity ENMAX Centrium in Red Deer, Alberta, with the WHL's Red Deer Rebels the host-team. The tournament will run from May 19th to May 29th, 2016.

Q: What motivates the arithmetic-geometric mean? What motivates the arithmetic-geometric mean? What inspires it? I understand how to calculate this mean but do not understand what might prompt a mathematician to pursue such a mean in the first place.
Is there a notion or mental image that conjures this thing?
(See also this related question. If it helps you to pitch your answer at the right level, I am a STEM professional but not a professional mathematician.)

A: The Wikipedia article Elliptic integral states

The complete elliptic integral of the first kind is sometimes called the quarter period. It can be computed very efficiently in terms of the arithmetic–geometric mean:
  $$ K(k)=\frac{\frac\pi2}{\text{agm}(1,\sqrt{1-k^2})}. $$

Thus, the motivation is to compute complete elliptic integrals. The Wikipedia article Arithmetic-geometric mean states

The first algorithm based on this sequence pair appeared in the works of Lagrange. Its properties were further analyzed by Gauss.

It was used extensively by Adrien-Marie Legendre in
computing his tables of elliptic integrals contained
in Traité des Fonctions Elliptiques, published in
three volumes 1825, 1826, and 1830.
So much for historical facts. Your question was

Is there a notion or mental image that conjures this thing?

and this is very rarely recorded. The facts indicate that
there was a need to compute complete elliptic integrals,
and somehow one or more mathematicians were able to develop
an equation which related elliptic integrals with different
parameters. The first instance seems to be due to John Landen.
The DLMF section 19.8(ii) Landen transformations has the following equations

Let $$ k_1 = \frac{1-k'}{1+k'} $$
$$K(k) = (1+k_1)K(k_1), \qquad E(k) = (1+k')E(k_1)-k'K(k).$$

You can refer to the Wikipedia article Landen's transformation for
more details.


From September 20 to October 22 the rooms of the St Michael's (Engineers) Castle of the State Russian Museum will hold the exhibition of paintings by Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, the younger daughter of Emperor Alexander III and Empress Marie Fyodorovna, sister of Nicholas II. The exhibition will present more than 200 watercolours and other artworks from the artistic and cultural heritage of Grand Duchess. The artworks collected in different countries (Canada, the USA, France, Denmark and others) are kindly lent for the exhibition by Olga Kulikovsky-Romanoff, chairman of the Russian Relief Programme Memorial Fund, daughter-in-law of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna. The exhibits illustrate the life and oeuvre of Grand Duchess, inviting the visitors of the exhibition to plunge into historic space and time. Profound feelings, observations and experience are reproduced against the background of cultural and natural peculiarities of three countries - Russia, Denmark and Canada, where the family of Grand Duchess used to live. The Majestic Artist has been exhibited in Washington (2001), Moscow (2002), Ekaterinburg (2004), St Petersburg and Moscow (2005), Tyumen and Surgut (2006), Moscow (the Tretyakov Gallery, 2007) and received rapturous reviews everywhere. The exhibition is organized by Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna Memorial Fund with the support from the sponsors.	We invite the citizens and guests of St Petersburg to acquaint with the unique artistic world of one of the worthiest representatives of the Russian Imperial family - Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna.


Established in 1953, Folkestone Saints Basketball Club is the oldest basketball club in Kent with a senior squad that has been one of the leading teams in the South East for many years.
The 2015/16 Season will see us running a National League Men's Division 4 team, National League under 16 and under 18 teams, two men's teams in the East Kent League, men's and Veterans (over 40's) teams in Medway League Division 1 and 2 respectively, junior teams in local Under-12, Under-14, Under-16 and Under-18 Central Venue Leagues and the Folkestone Flames Ladies Team.
As well as local competitions, we have connections with many overseas teams, and frequently send teams to places like Boulogne, Rheims, Wimereux and Porto to compete in international tournaments, and routinely host tournaments that foreign teams are keen to attend.
Most training sessions and matches are held at the Folkestone Sports Centre, but elite junior training is held at the Three Hills Sports Park, and the senior National League squad currently travel to Ashford for their sessions.
New club members (players, beginners or officials) are always welcome. As well as developing playing skills, we always encourage involvement in coaching and officiating, and regularly run courses to enable members to gain qualifications at all levels of the game.
The club also places a heavy emphasis on developing junior players and works with the Shepway Sports Trust to send coaches into local schools to run basketball sessions and organise events. Folkestone basketball has been instrumental in the establishment of basketball scholarships at the Folkestone Academy.
All home matches will be on Wednesday (EKL), Saturday (NL) and Sunday (MBL). Tip-off times will vary, so check the Calendar for more information or Folkestone Saints/Flames Basketball Club on Facebook.


Hamilton's Wintec held its Spark 06-International Festival of Media, Arts and Design this week. There were some pretty political speakers there, like Bruce Connew, Dave Armstrong and Lisa Reihana, but the most notable was Cuban academic Flor de Lis Lopez Hernandez.
Ms Hernandez spoke on "how powerful graphic elements can aid social change and play a key part in building a new society"
But she has a lot to propagandise about. Today, Hernandez told the Waikato Times that "far from a country on the brink of economic meltdown and political turmoil, Cuba is a happy, progressive country in search of an alternative to capitalism".
Despite growing international speculation over the health of Cuban President Fidel Castro, Ms Lopez Hernandez said Cubans are optimistic about the future.
"Fidel has been very smart because he has prepared the people for life without him," she said.
Castro's legacy to Cuba was a positive one, she said.
"He will be remembered as one of the great people of the 20th century.
"He has always fought for a better standard of living for all people. That has been his fight since the beginning," Ms Lopez Hernandez said.
Even without Castro's guidance, Cuba's revolution would continue, Ms Lopez Hernandez said.
"It is always in progress, it is never finished.
"We are always looking for an alternative that is not capitalism."
New Zeal Comrade Fidel would like to thank the NZ taxpayer and Creative New Zealand for allowing Ms Hernandez to spread the revolutionary message the oppressed people of New Zealand.
Fidel adds that the sequencing of the capital letters in this post's title are purely sublimi....coincidental.

It's Saga Time!
By Melissa Powell Gay | May 25th, 2021
Lengthy tales for summertime reading
Author Melissa Powell Gay offers her book recommendations for summertime reading – grand narratives from modern-day writers.
Summer is here. Time to pull out that thousand-page book you've reserved for lazy days on the beach or under a backyard tree.
By definition, a saga is a Nordic story, tale, or history. The original sagas were written between the 12th and 15th centuries, recounting adventures of Nordic gods.
The modern version of this story form chronicles the lives of a family or a number of related or interconnected families over a period of time, usually generations. In the 20th century, authors like James Michener and Edward Rutherfurd wrote lengthy prose, which incorporated basic elements of the Nordic saga: history of place and hearty characters. (Rutherfurd's latest, China, was published on May 11, 2021.)
Authors in the postmodern age have cross pollinated the saga format with other genres. They've incorporated romance, fantasy, and fictionalized alternatives with historical events. In Ken Follett's Century Trilogy (Fall of Giants, Winter of the World, and Edge of Eternity), the family members interact with actual historical figures such as Winston Churchill and Robert F. Kennedy. Our historical figures have replaced the Nordic gods in the modern saga.
Primary characteristics of the modern saga are:
Adventurous locations
To go along with the sweeping story line, a modern saga has epic scenery, like the western plains of America or lush savannas of central Africa. Try Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove or Wilbur Smith's When the Lion Feeds.
Strong characters
Archetypes are the backbone of a good saga. Like the Nordic gods, the central characters are larger than life and strong willed, performing mighty feats. They are family matriarchs or patriarchs, rebellious or vengeful siblings, and the courageous family members who fight injustice. In the postmodern era of fiction writing, some authors have taken an introspective view of the saga's journey. Their characters discover grand revelations within their family's dysfunctional interrelationships. Try Joyce Carol Oates' We Were the Mulvaneys and The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen.
Series, sequels and prequels
The popular series-based format has become today's saga. Authors and publishers divide seemingly endless content into multiple volumes to allow them to sell more books and to carve a verbose narrative into manageable, bite-sized reads. Imagine the tale A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin being one book. Game of Thrones was inspired by the historical events of Britain's War of the Roses, qualifying it as a saga and not just pure fantasy genre.
Here are some suggestions for a summer Saga Time!
Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset. The Norwegian writer won the 1928 Nobel prize for literature. The Wreath (early translation known as The Bridal Wreath), The Wife (earlier translation under The Mistress of Husaby), and The Cross, which make up this grand saga, follow the life of strong-willed Kristin in 14th-century Norway. If you have a choice, pick the original translation by Charles Archer and J.S. Scott rather than the contemporary translation by Tiina Nunnally.
A 20th-century classic, Pearl S. Buck's House of Earth Trilogy (The Good Earth, Sons, and A House Divided) gives a view of life during revolution. The Good Earth is the 1932 Pulitzer Prize pick and tells of a Chinese family's struggles while transitioning from rural to urban life.
Alex Haley's Roots: The Saga of an American Family, published in 1976, follows the life of African Kunta Kinte, captured into slavery and taken to America. His descendants include his great-great-great-great-grandson Mr. Haley himself. The story is a mixture of fiction and family history.
James Michener's Chesapeake opens with life on the Susquehanna River eons before the Europeans arrive. It is a beautiful depiction of the Chesapeake Bay and the people who settled on it – indigenous people, explorers, pirates, planters, indentured servants, slaves, and abolitionists. An American history.
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez was published in 1967. Tagged as the most significant work of the modern Hispanic literary canon, the story follows seven generations of a Columbian family.
Ranked by Good Reads at number one in the family saga category, Colleen McCullough's The Thorn Birds is an excellent example of a romance saga. Slip away to Australia and live in the world of a castaway Catholic priest and a young girl and her descendants.
There are hundreds of others out there in your local library, online, and at the bookstore. Escape this summer by getting lost in another world, complete with a large cast of characters and adventurous places.
Melissa Powell Gay is the author of the novel Talking to Herself and the Mt Pleasant series – When Are You Leaving and Every Now and Then. She lives in Glen Allen, Virginia, and is busy at work on the third book of the Mt Pleasant series.

Residents will be allowed to stay in their condos for 30 days out of the year, although they won't be able to live there full-time.
Bongart said he expects some condo owners to stay overnight during big race weekends or when they want to have a night out and watch a game.
Member cars will be protected by three levels of security: a perimeter gate, cameras throughout the campus and cameras within individual condos.
There will also be a 4,000-square-foot clubhouse for regularly scheduled, members-only events.
"It's a place where auto enthusiasts can enjoy and explore passion for automotive vehicles," said Bongart.
Bongart said he got the idea for the Auto Country Club from a friend while he was living in Florida. But the economy tanked soon after that and he had to shelve the plan.
Then, a couple of years ago, one of Bongart's friend sent him a YouTube video of a man in Minneapolis who had created the same type of country club.
Living in Charlotte by then, Bongart joined forces with friend and fellow Myers Park resident Paul Lange.
"I had never heard of such a thing, and I've been a car guy all my life," said Lange, 59, a retiree from the trucking industry. "What really sold me on the concept was seeing that a guy was doing it in Minnesota. If he could do it there, we could do it here. This is a red-hot market for car nuts."
The idea for an auto country club is so novel that the town of Huntersville will have to adjust its corporate business zoning district to accommodate the business.
The town board of commissioners is expected to decide on that text amendment at its April 2 meeting.
Expecting a favorable outcome at that meeting, the co-founders will hold an open house on March 17 at their sales center.
"This will be a great opportunity for the public to see what we're all about," said Bongart.
After the initial open house, the sales office will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., six days a week. Residents can also secure a spot online by using the site's PayPal feature.
The Auto-Country Club is taking refundable reservations of $5,000 before it gets final approval from the town.
The club will be open to all types of car enthusiasts, said Lange.
For instance, while Lange considers himself a 1960s muscle car guy, Bongart calls himself a late-model Porsche guy.
Nonmembers will have access to the private club during the planned 24 public events each year, Lange said.
Car enthusiast Dallas Jamison said he's made a reservation for a unit at the Auto Country Club.
"It's so unique. I think it's going to be cool to hang around with a lot of people with the same kinds of interests. You'll get to learn a lot of things," said the 59-year-old Lake Wylie resident.
That social interaction is what the Auto Country Club is about, said Lange.
"We're really stressing the country club aspect of this club because that's what separates us from dead storage," said Lange. "This is an opportunity for auto enthusiasts to come out and socialize with like-minded individuals."

Sometimes an employee gets through and is hired that has some negative motives. Free money is the biggest motive. Fraudulent workers often secretly take a second job or open a side business while falsely claiming they're too injured to work. They then receive lost wages from their workers comp policy -- and illegally earn extra money from their other job.
Time off is another draw to fraud. Dishonest workers collect insurance money and claim they're disabled while pursuing hobbies, sports or other personal activities, like hunting, gambling, sporting events or fixing up their home while supposedly injured.
Common Cases of Fraudulent Claims
Hurt Off the Job - Workers get injured off the job, but say they're hurt at work so their workers comp policy covers the medical bills. A person might hurt his back at home moving furniture. Or maybe sprains an ankle ice skating. Then he/she pretends the injury happened at work.
Fake Injuries - Some workers simply invent injuries. Soft-tissue injuries such as muscle problems with the back and neck are popular scams. They're hard to disprove, and thus are easier to get away with. See the news release issued by the Minnesota Commerce Department detailing a multi-million dollar scheme to defraud insurance companies through false claims.
Old Injury - Sometimes a worker with an old injury that never quite healed will claim he just got hurt on the job. A damaged knee or rotator cuff, for instance.
Malingering - Staying at home longer by pretending you're still disabled, even though you've healed enough to return to work. Once people are off for more than 30 days they are 90% less likely to ever return to that job.
Inflated Injuries - A worker has a fairly minor job injury - maybe a slight twinge in her lower back - but insists her back is seriously sprained. This lets the worker collect more workers comp money and stay off the job longer.
What Can Employers Do to Combat Workmans Comp Fraud?
According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), a good workers compensation program starts with a "well-orchestrated safety management program" to prevent accidents from occurring in the first place. But once an accident occurs, a diligent post-injury management program, including return to work, plays a key role in successfully managing injured employees and the company's workers compensation loss experience. Providers also play a key role in this. Providers who specialize in work-related injuries also can better oversee and encourage the employee's recovery and return to work. Experts suggest that medical providers also make good partners in anti-fraud efforts by recognizing and raising "red flags" to employers, including identifying malingering.
Everyone in the company can take a proactive role in the fight against fraud by knowing the red flag indicators and reporting suspected fraud to management.
What Are Some of the Red Flags?
No Witnesses to the injury.
Accident occurs early Monday or Late Friday
No report - or late report - to the supervisor
Specifics of injury are vague
Recollection of injury details change
Poor employee - attendance/reviews/attitude
Newly hired employee
Injury happens around vacation/retirement/layoff
Prior reports of injury or illness.
Witnesses and injured worker's stories are different
Significant history of claims filed
Going through financial, emotional, physical issues
Does not want to use doctor referred by the company
Misses medical appointments.
Anonymous information comes forth
Claimant will not return to work
No communication from worker
Worker knows claim handling procedures or terminology
Worker retains attorney immediately - attorney reports injury
Family history of work comp claims
Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime. Read more about the 2017 conviction of a chiropractor and his patient recruiters on our blog.
Everyone wants their workplace to be free from hazards and injury, with the goal of getting everyone home safe to their families at the end of the work day. Investigating workplace injuries helps ensure safety by identifying and correcting the underlying cause, and preventing the injury from occurring again.
According to OSHA, investigating a worksite incident-injury, illness, fatality, or close call provides employers and workers the opportunity to identify hazards in their operations and shortcomings in their safety and health programs. Most importantly, it enables employers and workers to identify and implement the corrective actions necessary to prevent future incidents.
Accident investigations that focus on identifying and correcting root causes, not on finding fault or blame, also improve workplace morale and increase productivity, by demonstrating an employer's commitment to a safe and healthful workplace. Often conducted by a supervisor, to be most effective, these investigations should include managers and employees working together, since each bring different knowledge, understanding and perspectives to the investigation.
How to Conduct an Accident Investigation
Get a brief description of how the injury occurred. The supervisor and/or the injured worker should carefully list the facts surrounding the occurrence.
Immediately send the injured employee for medical treatment to one of the specified medical clinics. In cases of severe or life-threatening injuries, medical treatment is the first priority. In these cases, the supervisor should call 911 or take the injured employee to the hospital emergency room without delay.
Get detailed facts of the injury. The supervisor and/or the injured worker should list all of the injured body parts. Failure to initially list an injured body part will cause doubts if injury is claimed at a later date. All gathered details will assist in determining the compensability of the claim. Do not look for fault: just the facts of what happened.
Identify where it occurred. The supervisor and/or investigator should preserve the scene as needed. Take photos from all angles, both close up and far away. If objects or machinery were involved, take photos of serial numbers and defective areas. Investigate the accident site. The supervisor should personally visit the site of the injury and make note of any unsafe working conditions, need for repairs, and/or safety violations.
Document the names, phone numbers, of any witnesses and their statements. Talk to co-workers about what happened, what they visually saw and what the employee was doing prior to and after the accident. Sometimes going back over the injured employee's entire day prior to the accident is helpful.
Make sure documentation is saved, and reports are understandable and filled out completely.
Why is it so important to investigate the root cause? An investigator who believes that accidents are caused by unsafe conditions will likely try to uncover conditions as the cause. On the other hand, one who believes they are caused by unsafe acts will attempt to find human error as the cause. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the underlying factors in the chain of events that ends in an accident.
The important point is that even in the most seemingly straightforward accidents, seldom, if ever, is there only a single cause. For example, an investigation which concludes that an accident was due to worker carelessness, and goes no further, fails to seek answers to several important questions such as:
Was the worker distracted? If yes, why was the worker distracted?
Was a safe work procedure being followed? If not, why not?
Were safety devices in order? If not, why not?
Was the worker trained? If not, why not?
We do this in-depth investigation to help alleviate future conditions and processes that may lead to a more serious type injury.

I owned a 1999 acura integra four door with tan interior and watched out the entire interior(dash, steering wheel, seats, carpet, etc) with an all black interior from a 1994 acura integra four door. Problem is the steering wheel cruise control buttons from the 94 don't match up to the right size for the 99 car. My question is in order to be able to get the cruise control buttons that attatch to the steering wheel to work technically i would just need to find the set of buttons off a 94, plug them in, and they should work and i can set, cancel, speed up, etc. using those buttons correct?!?!?!? and if that's all i have to do does ANYONE know where i can purchase the set of buttons at?!?!?!
Hey Adam, sorry I didn't get a chance to get a hold of ya on this matter. Try getting a hold of Sean Westrum at Central Imports to see if they have some. He is a good candidate to ask about what you are doing since he has owned DC's before and still does.

European brown bear
Brown bear (Linnaeus 1758) - Ursus arctos arctos
Order: Carnivora
Family: Ursidae
Subfamily: Ursinae
Genus: Ursus
Size : 1.50 to 3.50 m
Weight: 130 to 700 kg
Lifespan: 20 years
IUCN conservation status: LC least concern
The term " brown bear" refers to a species of bear divided into several subspecies found on two continents. This description refers to the subspecies found in Europe, Ursus arctos arctos.
Description of the European brown bear
Thebrown bear is a large animal with a short tail whose coat is of varying shades of brown, from grey, beige and even black, sometimes with a mixture of all these colours. It sports a large muscular protuberance above its shoulders, which provides power for its upper limbs when it digs into the ground. Its head is large and round. It has five digits on each limb, with powerful and non-retractile claws. It is able to stand on its hind limbs to catch food or intimidate enemies, and it can reach speeds of up to 56 km/h while running. Its hearing and sense of smell are developed to compensate for its weak eyesight.
Habitat of the European brown bear
The European brown bear is mostly found in the Nordic forests or the ancient mountain forests that date back to prehistory. It mainly lives in the isolated regions of Scandinavia and Russia, the Balkans and the Carpathians. A small population is trying to survive in the Pyrenees and another in the north of Italy. Its range is restricted to the highlands, located between 800 and 1,200 metres, for the largest amount of biomass and diversity of food sources needed for its diet are found at this altitude. It prefers covered forest environments and avoids open areas, such as prairies or fields. In the Pyrenees the bear has been pushed back to the limit of the highlands and the subalpine level under the pressure of human activity, between 1,500 and 1,800 metres. The territory must meet the needs of the animal and its annual cycle.
Behaviour of the European brown bear
Solitary outside the mating season, the animal is more crepuscular and nocturnal. Its seasonal activity alternates between seeking food and the mating season. During summer and autumn, the brown bear builds up its fat reserves to survive the winter. It can then put on 10 to 14 kilos per week, which is not too much, because it can lose up to 200 kilos of its initial weight during hibernation in a cave or sheltered cavern. This only happens in regions where the bear cannot find enough food during the winter. In milder latitudes it does not hibernate. Its sleep is not very deep, but is broken by several awakening periods.
Reproduction of the European brown bear
The rutting season is relatively brief. It lasts for two months after hibernation. During the mating season males travel long distances in search of females. The brown bear has the particular characteristic of being able to block the segmentation of the egg, which resumes a few months later in November, after hibernation has begun. Whether or not the embryo will resume development depends on the fat reserves accumulated. The gestation period is from six to eight weeks and ends when the animal gives birth in its den around January and February. The female generally gives birth to one or two cubs, sometimes three, every two or three years. This period generally corresponds to the learning phase for its young. Sexual maturity is reached between three and seven years.
Diet of the European brown bear
Even though it is omnivorous, the brown bear is mainly vegetarian. Its diet consists of plants, berries, tubers, shoots and mushrooms, as well as insects, fish and mammals, and, of course, honey when it can find it. In summer, the plantigrade eats a lot in order to build up its fat reserves, which it will draw from during hibernation. Man has increasingly encroached on its territory, where it is now increasingly hard to find food, and the bear frequently makes do with the food waste that it finds in rubbish bins or dumps.
In some national parks of the United States, the bears are fed by tourists and gradually become more insistent, and therefore dangerous. They can break down the cabin doors to rifle through cupboards or tear off the doors of parked cars. This situation causes serious safety problems in many towns or tourist sites. The brown bear eats between 10 and 20 kilogrammes of food per day.
Threats to the European brown bear
The European brown bear is not considered endangered by the IUCN. Current populations are sufficient to maintain the species. The few individuals that are artificially maintained in the Pyrenees do not constitute a particular species and do not justify classification on the red list of endangered species. Other subspecies, on the other hand, are considered vulnerable, such as Ursus arctos beringianus, the brown bear of Kamtchatka for which, however, 500 hunting permits were issued in 2005 by the Ministry of Wildlife management in this region of Russia…

My web page has been partially down for a couple of days now. Suddenly, for no obvious reason, none of the images would display. I didn't see anything wrong, but since my web host has a habit of making changes without telling too much about it, I suspected them. This time I mya have been wrong. My page got hijacked by some moderately competent hacker. He tried to take over one of my .htaccess files, but the message never came through since the file in question was buried in a private directory. The only visible effect was that my images disappeared. Very annoying, and hard to figure out. but now everything shuld be running smoothly again.
When I was at it, I also upgraded the system to the latest version of Drupal, which of course led to problems. So this Sunday has for most parts been spend on fixing and upgrading web software. A good thing it was raining and strong winds.
For some reason that I can't explain, non of the pictures on my web page is showing. Don't know when exactly this happened, but it was after 22/10. I didn't have anything to do with it, so it must either be my web hosting that screwed up, or some sort of hacker attack.
Hope to get it back online pretty soon.
As it turned out, my back started to complain (again). First there was the long airtrip back from Mauritius, and then I got a cold which prevented me from exercise. All this meant that I didn't want to sit too much in front of the computer after work, which again reduced the number of finished photos and the number of blog entries. Walking on the other hand is good, so today my wife and me went out for a long walk. We brought along our camping stove again (wedding present from one of my cousines) and the stuff you make "lapper" from. Don't know the English word for it, but they are almost like small pancakes.
Did I mention the blueberries you see at the bottom of the picture above. Hand picked in the same forest earlier this summer. Very tasty.
Even though the weather was a bit grey, the forest was at its best today. Great autumn colors.
The lake where we camped.
Ducks on the misty lake.
For about a week now I've been knocked out by a cold. Nothing serious, but still no more energy left when I came home for work. This morning I felt much better, so I decided to take an early walk, with breakfast in the forest. I brought along my camping stove, cooked an oatmeal breakfast and finished off with some tea. The breakfast was cooked while it was still dark, and as I ate, the sun started to rise. Very nice, I would recommend everyone to try it once in a while.
So here's a couple of pictures for those of you who had breakfast in the kitchen today.
During my honeymoon it just occurred to me that I haven't wanted a new lens for quite some time. These days the 24-105mm is more or less permanently mounted on the camera, and that takes care of almost all my needs. Supplemented by a 17-40, a macro lens, a 50mm f/1.4 and a 200mm I got all the lenses I would ever need. Or actually more than I ever need. But lens lust, as most of you know, is not derived from actual necessity, it is an urge to get a new toy that will enable you to … well we don't really know that, but it sure must be good. I don't have that urge now. And not to get a better camera either.
A strange new experience for someone like me. Both me and my bank account hope that this state will last for a long time.
So, the wedding went really well, and off to the island of Mauritius we went. We just came back yesterday from this fantastic vacation. Due to the nature of the trip, photography wasn't my main concern, mostly snapshots from to document the trip, but there may be a keeper or two among them. I guess I will use the next couple of weeks to sort through the images.
Monday it's back to work and no more special things to plan and prepare. Hopefully this will give me more time and energy to shoot and process images, as well as some more postings here. It's really nice being a married man, but it sure was much work preparing it.
Read about it here !!

Vacation is the second studio album by American rock band the Go-Go's, released on July 20, 1982, by I.R.S. Records. The album reached number eight on the Billboard 200, and has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The title track reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. The Go-Go's were riding high at the time of the album's first release, their prospects to all outward appearances looking bright. Future problems were beginning to take shape, as the members' drug use and internal fighting began to escalate.

The single "Vacation" was also issued as perhaps the first cassette single ever. In addition to the title track, two more singles were pulled from the album at the time: "Get Up and Go" and "This Old Feeling", the former of which peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song "Speeding", which is not included on the album, is a Caffey/Wiedlin composition used as B-side of the single for "Get Up and Go".

Cash Box called "Get Up and Go" a "rousing pop/rocker", saying that "the rhythm is as peppy as the title would indicate."  Billboard called it a "spirited pop/rock anthem" that is "invigorating" despite not being as "seamless" or having as much "mass appeal" as the preceding hit single "Vacation".  Detroit Free Press critic Gary Graff called it a "beach party pop tune."

Rolling Stone critic Ken Tucker called "This Old Feeling" a "perfect pop song: an ethereal melody is anchored by Kathy Valentine's bass as Carlisle's voice skims the surface of a pleasant memory just beyond reach" and said that "Rarely has the woozy pleasure of a good daydream been rendered more movingly in rock music."

In 2016, Edsel Records reissued remastered deluxe editions, all with bonus tracks, of the Go-Go's original three releases.

The Schweizer SGS 2-8 is an American two-seat, mid-wing, strut-braced, training glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York.

The 2-8 was originally known simply as "The Schweizer Two-Place" when it first flew in June 1938. When World War II started, the 2-8 became a military trainer for the US Army, Navy and Marines and all existing aircraft were drafted into military service. After the war they were sold as surplus and quickly became sought after in civil soaring for their structural strength, lightness and their rugged all-metal design. The 2-8 became one of the most popular post war trainers in the United States.

Design and development
During the 1920s and 1930s gliding was often self-taught or taught in single place sailplanes. An instructor would often coach the student using hand signals from the automobile towing the glider into the air. By the mid-1930s the benefits of having a two-place glider for training were beginning to be recognized by glider instructors.

A number of two-place designs were demonstrated in the United States, including the Gross Sky Ghost in 1932, the Funk two-place and the Bowlus-duPont two place, both of which first flew in 1933.

In late 1937 the Airhoppers Gliding Club of Long Island, New York approached the Schweizer brothers to see about the design of a Schweizer two-place glider specifically for training purposes.

The Schweizer Metal Aircraft Company built the 2-8 prototype over the winter of 1937-1938. The aircraft was completed and first flew in June 1938, in time to fly in the US National Soaring Championships.

The first dozen 2-8s delivered went to clubs and individuals and were not certified aircraft at that time. One 2-8 was ordered by the Soaring Society of America for use by their general manager, Henry Wightman, and was flown from the Washington DC area.

At the time of the sale to SSA, Bob McDowell, the attorney who notarized the bill of sale, indicated to the Schweizers that they should move their manufacturing operation out of their father's barn and relocate to the Elmira, New York area. The Schweizers received the suggestion positively as they needed more space to produce gliders, but they had no money with which to make the move. McDowell convinced Elmira Industries Inc, the local business development corporation, to provide space for the Schweizers on the second floor of the Elmira Knitting Mill Building in return for stock in the company. This resulted in the Schweizer Metal Aircraft Company becoming the Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, with a sale of shares to Elmira Industries, local businessmen and soaring pilots.

Orders for 2-8s came in from a group of Bell Aircraft employees, a youth group, a number of gliding schools, as well as several individuals.

The 2-8 received type certificate GTC 5 on 28 June 1940.

The type certificate is currently held by K & L Soaring of Cayuta, New York. K & L Soaring now provides all parts and support for the Schweizer line of sailplanes.

Manufactured aircraft are known as SGS 2-8s while those assembled from factory kits are designated as SGS 2-8A.

The 2-8 has a welded steel tube fuselage covered in aircraft fabric. The aluminum wings feature assembly with self-tapping PK screws and very few rivets.

Operational history

In April 1941 the Schweizers were contacted by the US Army Air Force (USAAF). The USAAF, impressed by the Luftwaffe's use of gliders to capture the Belgian fortress of Eben-Emael during the campaign of the previous summer, had decided to commence a glider pilot training program. The USAAF was in need of training gliders and the Schweizers offered the SGS 2-8 as the ideal aircraft for the role.

On 10 August 1941 the AAF issued a statement on the procurement of the 2-8:

"What is probably a record in procurement was established in the case of the contract with the Schweizer Aircraft Corporation of Elmira New York. This contract, covering three two-place gliders to CAA Class 2 requirements, with certain modifications, was signed in Washington DC on June 27, 1941. The first glider under contract has its initial flight test July 2, at Big Flats Airport, Elmira, New York and is now at Wright Field."

In the first part of 1942 Lieutenant General William S. Knudsen of the War Production Board conducted an inspection of the Schweizer factory, still located on the second floor of the Elmira Knitting Mill. He looked at the antiquated plant and instructed the Schweizers to "get out of here". He was instrumental in the move of the 2-8 production line to a new plant built for Schweizer Aircraft by the Defense Plants Corporation at the soon-to-be completed Chemung County Airport.

The US Navy and Marine Corps also ordered the 2-8 as a glider trainer.

Because the 2-8 was made from aluminum and steel, which were both declared "strategic materials", a replacement design was needed. The Schweizers designed the SGS 2-12 as a  wooden version of the 2-8, incorporating some improvements, such as a lower-mounted cantilever wing to improve instructor visibility. The 2-12 succeeded the 2-8 in production and 114 were produced with the designation TG-3A.

Competitions and records

Distance flying in the 2-8 is challenging, given its 23:1 glide ratio and red-line speed limit of just 72 mph (117 km/h). SGS 2-8s were flown in several US national competitions and held a number of records at one time.

Records held include a flight to goal from Elmira, New York to Washington, DC, a distance of 373 km (232 statute miles) flown by Bob Stanley and Ernie Schweizer.

Dick Johnson set a multi-place distance record of 499 km (310 statute miles) in a 2-8.

In May 2008 there were still 23 SGS 2-8s registered in the US along with one 2-8A.

Variants
SGS 2-8
The basic factory produced model was designated as the SGS 2-8.
SGS 2-8A
SGS 2-8s assembled from factory kits were accepted as certified aircraft and were designated as SGS 2-8A. They were otherwise identical to the 2-8.
TG-2
The production version of the 2-8 for the US Army Air Force was given the military designation of TG-2, indicating "Training Glider 2".
TG-2A
The designation of TG-2A was applied to previously produced civilian versions of the 2-8 that were conscripted into USAAF use. The military tracked down all 2-8s in the USA and bought them for military training from their civilian owners.
LNS-1
The production version constructed for the US Navy and US Marines was designated as the LNS-1.

Aircraft on display

There is a 2-8, N10VV, in the National Soaring Museum and three versions of the LNS-1, on loan to the National Warplane Museum, the Marine Corps Aviation Museum in Quantico, Virginia and in the National Museum of Naval Aviation at Pensacola, Florida.

Q: Is it possible to get previous entry in @HandleAfterSave event with Spring Data REST? I have next event handler:
@Component
@RepositoryEventHandler
public class EntityEventHandler {

    private final EntityService entityService;

    @HandleAfterSave
    public void handleAfterSave(final Entity entity) {
        // need old entity here to validate if specific field has changed
    }
}

Is there any way to get old entity in handleAfterSave ?

About book Where The Mountain Meets The Moon (2009)
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is an amazing example of imagery in words. The author Grace Lin uses folk stories to put to life this book. Grace Lin uses the traditional folktales to write a creative and imaginary story about a young girl. Young readers will love this story because the story has magic, adventure, travel and much more in it! They will appreciate Grace Lin's writing style immensely. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, by Grace Lin, is an extraordinary tale of a poor girl that goes on a mission to change her families fortune and lifestyle. There are many comparisons in this book that relate to a more well- known tale, the Wizard of Oz. I would love to have my students do a book comparison and have them read the Wizard of Oz and Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. Then the students could compare and contrast the differences and similarities between the two books. While I was reading this book I couldn't help but naturally do that myself. I believe that this could allow my students by more diverse in culture and literature. I would love to complete this activity in my future classroom and hopefully my students would enjoy it as much as I did.
