Gov. Ron DeSantis says we can all stop cutting our own hair.
Today the governor announced that most barbershops, as well as nail and hair salons will be allowed to reopen on Monday, May 11.
Establishments will be allowed to reopen as long as they follow enhanced safety protocols, said the late afternoon Twitter announcement, which featured a video from Orlando barber J. Henry.
"We are ready to get back to work and make some money! But getting back to work, we want to be safe and continue to wear our gloves wear masks, book by appointments and continue to keep the community safe," Henry said in the video. "We want to continue to keep one thing in mind, safety is always first."
DeSantis' announcement did not say exactly what these "enhanced safety protocols" mean exactly. But the announcement applies to all counties currently under Phase One of the governor's plan to reopen Florida. In other words, as of Monday, only Broward and Miami-Dade counties won't be able to get haircuts.
In a Friday afternoon press conference, DeSantis extended the state of emergency for 60 additional days, until Tuesday, July 7, and allowed Palm Beach County to join the rest of the Florida counties participating in the phased reopening of restaurants and retail stores. DeSantis noted the state's rate of positive COVID-19 test results has lowered to 1.91 percent, "the lowest we've had since the epidemic began."
"There's a lot of good trends, the work certainly isn't done," said DeSantis Friday, "but I think it's pretty clear in every corner of the state, flattening the curve so every hospital system is able to cope, that has been achieved."
This is a developing story and we'll update it when more information is available.

Ryan Greene
PRODUCING POP-PUNK MUSIC IN DOUBLE-TIME
By By Heather Johnson
Ryan Greene doesn't produce punk rock. "It's just pop music played twice as fast," he says with a grin, referring to bands such as NOFX, Lagwagon, No Use for a Name, Nerf Herder and The Dickies, among others. Fittingly, the producer/engineer for most of Fat Wreck Chords' catalog and co-owner (with NOFX vocalist/bassist Fat Mike) of Motor Studios in San Francisco works twice as fast in the studio.
A drummer-turned-live engineer at age 15, Greene later became L.A.-based MCA Music Publishing's youngest engineer, promoted from tape duplicator at age 19. "I couldn't even go to a bar and I was engineering!" he recalls. "I was able to work with Glen Ballard, Diane Warren, Desmond Child…the best songwriters and now, some of the best producers in the world. You work with these people and things start to sink in."
Three-and-a-half years later, Greene moved to EMI Music, where he served as chief engineer for eight years. While there, he engineered one especially killer demo for Bad Religion frontman and Epitaph Records founder, Brett Gurewitz, that propelled him out of publishing and into a flurry of indie-label work. "We knocked out three songs in about eight hours," Greene recalls of a session that included "Stranger Than Fiction," "Incomplete" and "Infected." "Brett then went out to the car to listen to the cassette copy and 10 minutes later, he comes back and says, 'This is the best-sounding thing we've ever done — including all of our records. I'm definitely going to call you.' A week later, he hooked me up with NOFX and three weeks later I'm doing Punk in Drublic." That album, released on Epitaph in 1994, is considered one of the San Francisco-based band's best, was certified Gold and pulled the band, albeit unwillingly, into a mainstream spotlight shared by Berkeley, Calif.'s Green Day and So-Cal pop-punks The Offspring.
Greene has produced five albums for NOFX thus far, and in 1997, moved to San Francisco to open Motor Studios with frontman Fat Mike. After a brief stint operating out of a house on Divisadero, Motor Studios moved into a freestanding building in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood. The 1,900-square-foot space features an SSL 4064E Series console with Total Recall; a Pro Tools|HD 192 workstation; Tannoy, Dynaudio and Yamaha monitors (Genelecs for the mains); and an outboard collection that includes Neve 1073, Pultec and Calrec EQs, UREI 1176 and Behringer compressors, Yamaha SPX-90II and REV-7, and Lexicon PCM 70 and PCM 41 reverbs. The studio also includes Greene's drum kit and instrument collection, various Roland synth gear, an ample mic list and an Otari MTR-90 24-track, which apparently doesn't get used much these days. "Over the last two years, 100 percent of everything I've done has been right to Pro Tools," Greene says. "At a time, I was mixing down to ½-inch and then I started to do data files. It's sad in a way, but it's technology. We move forward."
Working digitally allows Greene to produce great-sounding albums in less time and for less money than most full-length projects, a concept carried over from his publishing demo days. "We're talking about three weeks to do a full record," Greene says of the Fat Wreck Chords albums. "The thing is to make it sound great and do it for the least amount of money. If we do a record for 20 or 30 grand and it turns around and sells 100,000 copies, then everybody's making money."
Although he can produce an album in less time than it takes some engineers to get drum sounds, that doesn't mean he rushes his artists — ever. For Greene, patience is key, especially in the studio. "If somebody's having a problem with [a part]," Greene says, "I just reassure them that, 'You will get this. We're not going to just let it go. So just relax! Take it easy. We'll move on, we'll come back to it, but you will get it. So don't worry about it.' That's how I approach everything. We're making music. I mean, come on! It's not brain surgery!"
Lately, Greene's taken his patience and some of his equipment to Scottsdale, Ariz., where he's producing, engineering and mixing the debut album for F5, the new band formed by Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson. He is also producing five songs for Dishwalla's forthcoming album — a far cry stylistically, you'd think, from punk bands such as Authority Zero and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, but really, it's all pop music, just some songs are played faster than others.

Неофутуризм ― движение в искусстве, дизайне и архитектуре конца XX ― начала XXI века. Сущность неофутуризма рассматривается как отход от позиций постмодернизма в сторону идеалистической веры в лучшее будущее и «необходимость периодизации современного взаимодействия с новыми технологиями».

Это авангардное по своей природе движение является футуристическим переосмыслением эстетики и функциональности быстрорастущих городов. Индустриализация, развернувшаяся с новой силой во всём мире после окончания Второй мировой войны, дала начала новым направлениям мысли в искусстве и архитектуре, что привело к появлению течений постмодернизма, неомодернизма, а затем ― и неофутуризма.

В западных странах футуристическая архитектура развилась в ар-деко, движение гуги, хай-тек, а позднее  переродилась в неофутуризм.

Происхождение
Неофутуризм возник в конце 1960-х и начале 70-х годов. Среди главных представителей течения ― американские архитекторы Бакминстер Фуллер и Джон С. Портман-младший; финско-американский архитектор и промышленный дизайнер Ээро Сааринен, ; британская авангардная архитектурная группа Archigram (Питер Кук, Уоррен Чок, Рон Херрон, Деннис Кромптон, Майкл Уэбб и Дэвид Грин); Американская авангардная архитектурная группа ArchiGO, возникшая вокруг Иллинойсского технологического института; датский архитектор Хеннинг Ларсен; чешский архитектор Ян Каплицкий; итальянский скульптор Марко Лодола; американский концепт-художник Сид Мид; американский театральный сценарист Грег Аллен и русские поэты Андрей Вознесенский, Серж Сигей и Ры Никонова.

Определение
Неофутуризм получил новое дыхание в 2007 году после распространения «Манифеста неофутуристического города», представленном в Международном бюро выставок (BIE) и написанном дизайнером Вито Ди Бари, бывшим исполнительным директором ЮНЕСКО. В манифесте Ди Бари изложил своё видение города Милана во время Universal Expo 2015 . В своём тексте Ди Бари определил неофутуризм как «перекрёстное опыление искусства, передовых технологий и этических ценностей, объединённых вместе, чтобы повсеместно создать более высокое качество жизни»; дизайнер ссылался на четвёртый столп теории устойчивого развития и сообщил, что он вдохновлялся докладом ООН под названием «Наше общее будущее».

Жан-Луи Коэн определял неофутуризм как «следствие технологий, поскольку структуры, построенные сегодня, производятся из новых материалов для создания ранее невозможных форм». Этан Дж. Ильфельд писал, что в современной неофутуристической эстетике «машина становится неотъемлемым элементом самого творческого процесса и порождает появление художественных форм, которые были невозможны до появления компьютерных технологий». Определяя неофутуризм как «авторскую архитектуру», Рейнер Бенхем призывал к появлению архитектуры, которая технологически преодолела бы все предыдущие стили, но обладала при этом выразительной формой.

В искусстве и архитектуре
Неофутуризм как идейное течение сложился в 1960-х и 1970-х годах. Среди главных его деятелей ― Антонио Сант-Элиа, Хэл Фостер, Дени Ламинг, Уильям Перейра, Чарльз Лакман, Хеннинг Ларсен  и Йорн Утзон. В 2007 году движение получило вторую жизнь благодаря Вито Ди Бари. С тех пор к течению примкнули Заха Хадид, Сантьяго Калатрава, Аниш Капур и Тео Янсен. Итальянский дизайнер Вито Ди Бари по-прежнему остаётся идейным лидером движения, и его видение неофутуризма одобряет Стив Джобс, Рюэ Нисидзава, Гэри Чанг, Родриго Охтаке, Томас Хезервик,Токуджин Ёсиока, Марио Арлати, польский художник Карина Смигла-Бобинская.

Fraud rates on international business decrease by half in 2009, CyberSource survey
International orders rejected due to suspicion of fraud dropped 30% in 2009
A survey of eCommerce merchants by CyberSource has shown that among the US and Canadian merchants accepting international orders, 21% of their online orders came from abroad, up from 17% the year before and 8% in 2005.
The firm said that the growth was supported by progress in meeting the increased fraud challenge of international orders, with 50% lower fraud rates and 30% lower order rejection rates.
According to the 11th annual Online Fraud Report, the country origins of the international orders have favoured English speaking and larger eCommerce markets. 81% of merchants surveyed that accept orders from abroad said that they took orders from the UK and 72% from Australia. These were followed by Germany (71%), France (68%), and Italy and Mexico (64% each).
The US and Canadian merchants surveyed say that they saw fraud rates on international business drop 50% in 2009, from an average of 4% in 2008 to 2% in 2009, compared to 1.2% on orders with domestic origins. International orders that were rejected due to suspicion of fraud dropped 30% in 2009, from 10.9% to 7.7%.
According to the survey data, 20% of US and Canadian merchants that take orders from abroad stopped accepting orders from at least one country due to high fraud levels in 2009. Among that group, half of them cited Nigeria and 45% cited Ghana. Other countries include Indonesia and Malaysia (30% each), Iran, Pakistan, Romania and Russia (23% each), and China and Vietnam (20% each).
Doug Schwegman, director, customer and market intelligence of CyberSource, said: We see this as a meaningful trend in eCommerce – real evidence of increasing globalisation. We think the trend was driven in part by merchants' needs to find new sources of revenue in a challenged economy, but also by merchants' growing ability to manage fraud on international orders.

Chairman of Peoples Democratic Front and MLA Khansahib, Hakim Muhammad Yaseen has welcomed the "commitment" of India and Pakistan to implement the cease fire pact of 2003 to stop cross border firing.
He urged for early resumption of talks between India, Pakistan and Hurriyat Conference to resolve the Kashmir issue which is the main bone of contention between the two neighboring countries and cause of violence in the state.
He asked the central government to remove all ambiguities in its talks offer with Pakistan and Hurriyat leaders. "Different statements from the leaders on the issue have raised doubts among the people especially the stakeholders. A clear road map for holding talks with the stakeholders is pre-requisite for any process to become successful," Yaseen added.

A Visit to Farah Province
OPAWC director Latifa Ahmady visited Farah Province in the west of Afghanistan in late September 2012 and came back with fresh and new information about the province.
She found that around 25 thousand people (men and women) of that province are addicted to drugs.
Most of them are those who returned from Iran. Because of unemployment in the country, many people try to find a job in Iran and stay there for years.
Women remain at home with lots of problems and are responsible to look after the children.
They weave carpets to support their families financially, and they don't have opportunities to attend the educational and skills programs.
Another huge problem is the bad security situation, caused by bombing of NATO on one hand and the threats of Taliban on the other hand. This puts pressure on the women, and they become sick as the result.
Most of the women have psychological problems.
They are under stress, and this stress causesto abnormalities in their babies.
Latifa interviewed women who came to Hamoon Health Center and took photos of the mothers and babies. Most of them are seen to be abnormal.
The women told Latifa about their living conditions and asked OPAWC to expand its activities and establish other sections of medical treament in Hamoon Center. They were happy about the existing services at Hamoon Center for poor people in that province.
OPAWC is worried about the condition of women in Farah Province and believes that an awareness program is very important in this province in addition to existing activities, that can keep women occupied; otherwaise a big human calamity will develop in that probince.
We are in search of such a project to support these women and Hope to be successful in our struggle.

WILLEMSTAD – 36 students started the Social Shaping Trajectory (SVT) to improve their lives at the naval barracks at Suffisant this week. For five months, the Curaçao Militia and the Marine Corps will give these youths instructions. Most of the participants have a history of crime and / or drug abuse.
After the training, the 36 participants will flow into a regular course. "The robust military approach, lessons and intensive social care of the SVT will ensure that these young people have a solid foundation to begin this training," the Defense indicated. At the port there was a pre selection already; of the 60 young people who volunteered, 36 were admitted.

Azd o Asd són dues confederacions tribals d'Aràbia a l'antiguitat, a l'Asir (Azd Sarat) i a l'Oman (Azd Uman) que es van fusionar a l'època islàmica a Bàssora i el Khorasan.

Els Azd Sarat van adoptar l'islam el 631 i encara que van protagonitzar algun incident durant la Rida o apostasia (632) foren portats a l'orde per Uthman ibn al-Asi governador de Taif. El 634 el califa Omar va enviar grups d'Azd a l'Eufrates, i van poblar Bàssora i Kufa i fins i tot alguns van anar a Egipte. Els Azd de Bàssora van agafar sota la seva protecció al governador Ziyad ibn Abihi, amenaçat pels tamimites, a partir del 658.

El Azd Uman van emigrar en part vers el 680 cap a Bàssora. Els que van restar van crear un emirat a Zara al . Els que es van establir a Bàssora es van unir als Azd Sarar i es van fusionar, i es van aliar als Rabia, fent part així dels grups oposats als tamimites.

El governador Ubayd-Al·lah ibn Ziyad va trobar el suport dels Azd quan va morir el califa Yazid I (683) i els tamimites es van revoltar; en les lluites que van seguir va morir Massud ibn Amr al-Atakí, cap de la coalició dels Azd i els Rabia; finalment al-Àhnaf ibn Qays, el cap tamimita, va poder posar orde i es va establir un modus vivendi però la situació va restar tensa i es va traslladar també al Khorasan on la tribu dels Azd aliada als Rabia i dirigides pels muhallàbides, va passar a ser la dominant.

Després de la desgràcia dels muhallàbides, els azd van contribuir a la derrota i mort de Qutayba ibn Múslim (715) governador del Khorasan entre el 705 i la seva mort. Van exercir certa hegemonia a la província fins a la pujada al tron de Yazid II (720) però l'eliminació dels muhal·làbides va suposar la seva pèrdua d'influència i van quedar sota domini dels governadors de la tribu dels Kays o kaysites (qaysites). L'hostilitat dels Azd contra aquestos va debilitar a la dinastia omeia i fou una de les causes de la seva caiguda.

Cap al final de la dinastia, l'oposició dels Azd al governador de Khorasan Nasr ibn Sayyar (738-748), va facilitar l'arribada d'Abu-Múslim (748); també a Bàssora es va revoltar contra els omeies però foren derrotats pels tamimites, i això els va abocar en braços dels abbàssides.

It is expected to refresh its iPad Pro line-up this month and stealing a little thunder from a rival's announcements isn't unheard of. Both 12.9 and 10.5-inch models will have two Wi-Fi and two LTE variants each. Now let's talk about some of the features and display of the tablet. According to a 9to5Mac report, "sources familiar with the development" of the new iPad Pro models revealed that the tablets will have almost edge-to-edge displays, no Home button, Face ID support, 4K video output via a USB-C port, and other new features. The Face ID hardware system will reside on the bezels, which, while thin, will still be enough to house all the hardware. However, one major difference from the iPhone will be the absence of a notch. Apple is widely expected to launch two new tablets later this month, both part of the iPad Pro series, and we saw plenty of leaks in the past mentioning some of the same features. Moreover, it has been confirmed that Face ID will work in both orientations - portrait and landscape. It won't work if you hold the iPad upside down though.
According to "sources familiar with the development" of the slate, speaking to 9to5Mac, the iPad Pro 2018 with cellular will come in four model numbers, named iPad8,3, iPad8,4, iPad8,7 and iPad8,8, while the Wi-Fi-only version will also have four model numbers, specifically iPad8,1, iPad8,2, iPad8,5 and iPad8,6.
Finally, there will be a new Apple Pencil released along with the 2018 iPad Pros. A new panel in the Settings app will control aspects related to screen sharing, including resolution, brightness, HDR, and others. At this October event, Apple will most likely unveil the highly anticipated 2018 iPad Pro tablets, in addition to introducing new MacBooks. Other than this, it will be possible to connect the Apple Pencil to the charging port if you are switching devices.
There will be more to the story, so be sure to stay tuned in for more details. Share your views in the comments.


What is a zep? I asked some of my coworkers this when they mentioned this type of sandwich. I even asked some friends who were from the Norristown, Pennsylvania area. "It's a hoagie with no lettuce," they said. I did some research and found out that zeps are a Norristown variation of the hoagie, with one meat, provolone, tomato, onion, oregano, oil, vinegar, and hot pepper relish on a special Conshohocken Bakery roll.
I only recently had the opportunity to have lunch at one of the popular places to get a zep in Norristown, Lou's Sandwich Shop. Lou's Sandwich Shop has been a local favorite since 1941 and serves up all kinds of zeps in addition to other hoagies and sandwiches. Zeps come in three sizes, small, medium, and large. The small is served on a soft, round roll, so you wouldn't be getting the true zep experience if you ordered that. The medium and large are served on the roll with a somewhat harder exterior.
I ordered a medium zep. The zep at Lou's had cooked salami, provolone, tomato, onion, hot pepper spread, oregano, oil, and vinegar. First observation was that there was hell of a lot of raw onions on here. That would most likely be a downside of the sandwich, for me at least. It looked pretty good otherwise, as they didn't skimp on any ingredients and it sure looked hearty.
The bread was certainly a little tougher (on the outside) compared to your typical hoagie roll. Halfway through the sandwich, I was surprisingly not appalled by the amount of raw onions on the sandwich. I think I didn't notice the onions as much due to the pepper relish and oil & vinegar added. It masked a lot of the zing and it all together tasted quite good.
It certainly is similar to a hoagie. If you're a fan of traditional hoagie rolls, the harder zep roll may be off-putting. It didn't bother me though, as I enjoyed my first zep.
Any of you guys zep eaters? Do you go the traditional route or order one of the zep variations (steak zep, chicken salad zep, etc.)?
Last week, I was looking for a place to have a burger for lunch in the Mt. Airy/Germantown area. I received a couple burger recommendations but even more suggestions to go to McNally's Tavern in Chestnut Hill and eat a Schmitter. Instantly, my mind was made and I made the way to McNally's with a friend.
The Schmitter is a sandwich consisting of sliced beef, cheese, fried onions, tomato, grilled salami, and Schmitter sauce. It is also served on either a kaiser roll or long roll (double). My stomach got the best of me and I went with the long roll version. Either that, or I just would rather eat a sandwich on a long roll instead of a kaiser roll. Totally didn't need the size of the long rolled version though.
This sandwich was damn delicious. After consumption, I kept thinking how THIS should be the sandwich of Philadelphia. Seriously. It's that good.
I'm not really a Phils fan, but you can get Schmitters at Citizens Bank Park! This fact alone would help coax me into going to a game.
Have you ever had a Schmitter? How do you think it ranks compared to cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches?

Vienna – The Burgtheater
Opened in 1748, the 'Royal Theatre beside the Palace' performed a repertoire of Italian operas, French dramas, ballet and German comedies. As the Deutsches Nationaltheater it assumed the foremost position among the theatres of the German-speaking countries from 1776. The theatre on Michaelerplatz was very popular with audiences and the imperial family, who had direct access to it from the palace. The new theatre on the Ring which opened in 1888 soon also became a social and artistic meeting-place.

What About Back Child Support or Spousal Support/Alimony?
You cannot discharge your child support or alimony obligations through a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. You can however, repay back child support and alimony interest free through a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, student loans may be discharged if you are able to demonstrate hardship, which is nearly impossible to do.
What About My Personal Property and Other Assets?
Often, all of your personal assets can be protected. Your personal assets will either be "excluded" from the bankruptcy or "exempted," and you will be able to retain that personal property.
Will My Employer and Landlord Find Out About My Bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy petitions are public records. However, unless your employer or landlord is a creditor, they will not know that you filed bankruptcy. However, if you file a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, and you are ordered to make payments through a wage deduction order, your employer will learn about your bankruptcy.
Do I Need To List All My Debts?
Yes, so long as you owe money to that creditor, you will have to list the creditor on your bankruptcy petition.
How Long Will the Process Take in Chapter 7 Or 13?
A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy takes about six months.
A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy takes about 3 to 5 years for you to repay debts depending on your income unless you are able to repay sooner.
What Kind of Debts Does Bankruptcy Eliminate?
In a Chapter 7, almost all unsecured debts (debts not secured by personal or real property) such as medical debt, credit card debt, personal loans, some judgments, payday loans, vehicle deficiencies, mortgage deficiencies, and certain tax debt with certain exceptions such as income tax liabilities for the past 3 years.
Chapter 7 does not eliminate secured debts (home loans and automobile loans) except for liens on personal property that are redeemed for the fair market value of the collateral in the bankruptcy. It also does not eliminate student loans (in some extreme scenarios it may be possible, however in most cases it is always nearly impossible), alimony, and child support obligations.
In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, all debts dischargeable in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy are dischargeable, plus you get a super discharge. This means that certain debts that are non-dischargeable in Chapter 7 are dischargeable in Chapter 13. You can also modify the rights of secured creditors in Chapter 13, which means that you can strip a lien down to the value of the collateral such as on a car or a house in your payment plan. [See section on Chapter 13 Bankruptcy].
Bankruptcy generally cancels unwanted contracts if you discontinue the service and/or return the merchandise. Common contracts that people cancel include: satellite TV, gym memberships, rent to own furniture, alarm company contracts, etc.
In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you can pay student loans without interest, in your payment plan.

AI tool predicts which coronavirus patients get deadly 'wet lung'
Doctors are learning on the fly about COVID-19, and one AI tool appears able to help steer them in the right direction.
Researchers in the US and China reported on Monday they developed an artificial intelligence tool that is able to accurately predict which newly infected patients with the coronavirus go on to develop severe lung disease.
Once deployed, the algorithm could assist doctors in making choices about where to prioritise care in resource-stretched healthcare systems, said Megan Coffee, a physician and professor at New York University's Grossman School of Medicine who co-authored a paper on the finding in the journal Computers, Materials & Continua.
Coronavirus: Which countries have confirmed cases?
Why is Italy's coronavirus fatality rate so high?
Timeline: How the new coronavirus spread
The tool discovered several surprising indicators that were most strongly predictive of who went on to develop so-called acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS), a severe complication of the COVID-19 illness that fills the lungs with fluid and kills about 50 percent of coronavirus patients who get it.
The team applied a machine learning algorithm to data from 53 coronavirus patients across two hospitals in Wenzhou, China, finding that changes in three features – levels of the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT), reported body aches, and hemoglobin levels – were most accurately predictive of subsequent severe disease.
Using this information along with other factors, the tool was able to predict risk of ARDS with up to 80 percent accuracy.
By contrast, characteristics that were considered to be hallmarks of COVID-19, such as a particular pattern in lung images called "ground glass opacity," fever, and strong immune responses, were not useful in predicting which of the patients with initially mild symptoms would get ARDS.
Neither age nor sex were useful predictors either, even though other studies have found men over 60 to be at higher risk.
"It's been fascinating because a lot of the data points that the machine used to help influence its decisions were different than what a clinician would normally look at," Coffee said.
AI in medicine
Using AI in medical settings isn't a brand new concept – a tool already exists to help dermatologists predict which patients will go on to develop skin cancer, to give just one example.
What makes this different is that doctors are learning on the fly about COVID-19, and the tool can help steer them in the right direction, in addition to helping them decide which patients to focus on as hospitals become overwhelmed, said co-author Anasse Bari, a computer science professor at NYU.
The team is now looking to further refine the tool with data from New York and hope it is ready to deploy sometime in April.

C-TEC's Quantec addressable call system and SigTEL disabled refuge system have been installed at a fabulous new sports village in Lancashire.
Costing £84M to construct and officially opened in May by Her Majesty the Queen, Leigh Sports Village represents an enormous investment in public sports and recreational facilities in the area. With third generation floodlit grass and artificial pitches, a multi-use games area and a 150-bedroomed hotel, the state-of-the-art village marks a significant step forward in transforming the region into a hotbed of sporting and leisure activity.
Quantec's primary function is to provide the 24 disabled washrooms in the stadium with alarm facilities. The system is dual purpose. Not only can it be used to alert people in an emergency situation, but it can also be used to ensure that disabled people visiting the stadium's washrooms have the dignity and privacy they deserve. They can be dropped off at a washroom whenever required, and simply sound the alarm via the call point at their own leisure. As soon as they trigger the call point, the alarm will sound at the main panel in reception to alert their waiting carer/companion that it is time to collect them.
C-TEC's SigTEL disabled refuge system has also been installed at the 10,000-seat stadium. In the event of an emergency, the fully BS5839 part 9 refuge system facilitates effective two-way communication between building management and people located in the refuge area to, firstly, assist rescue teams in determining where assistance is required and, secondly, to reassure people help is on the way.
Says Steve: "C-TEC products inspire total confidence as they are designed and manufactured in the UK, which is very rare these days, and they have an excellent reputation in the marketplace. Another reason why we are loyal to C-TEC is the fact that our Account Manager is always on hand to offer advice and guidance – something which is incredibly important to us".
Can be connected to an ECU-4 or ECU-8 SigTEL master controller to increase its line capacity to 12 or 16 lines respectively.
Does not require a separate mains supply or batteries.
Can be semi-flush mounted using an AFP385 bezel.
Easily interfaced to NC951 accessible toilet alarms, PDA audio-frequency induction loop systems, strobes, CCTV activation relays, etc.
Supplies power to and controls a Quantec Addressable Call System.
Monitors all network devices and manages the routing and distribution of all calls.
Provides connections for network wiring, standby batteries, a laptop (for system programming), optional paging/DECT equipment, an optional printer or PC (to run Quantec's QT707S Surveyor data management software).
Includes a library of 40 pre-set & 45 custom place names.
System setup requires a laptop PC running Quantec's QT707 programming tools.
Can be semi-flush mounted using an QT385 bezel or fully-flushed using a BF359/3S stainless steel enclosure.
System wiring requires one or more QT603 network splitters.
Wiring should be made in a spine and limb arrangement using 1.5 to 2.5mm2 T&E (spines) and 4 to 8 core stranded security cable (limbs).

Hallo. I went to a Dutch Orange Day Animation screening at ACMI afew Saturdays ago.
Wow. One in particular absolutley thrilled me to the core..
The Characters (1986) Script, design and direction: Evert de Beijer.
"George and Belle are confronted with graphic symbols and letterforms which have come to life. These apparitions infiltrate their world, disrupt their relationship and become a strange and threatening obsession for them."
This animation was fantastic! I have since discovered that Evert de Beijer also created the animation Car Craze which I saw at last years MIAF. Such lovely sophisticated work.
Twas also very nice to see more Paul Dreissen on the big screen. Still nothing beats 2D or not 2D which I saw last year at MIAF.
Well finally ..after months of trying to lift an idea from my mind and pen it into a comic for the next issue of TANGO..I have an idea that I want to draw, and one that grasps me as I think about it. Its funny because I have a certain kind of clarity with the idea, yet I do not yet have a script or narrative. I think this is my favourite way to work..on a comic that is. It means that I know I will be fully engaged with the idea as I create the narrative - because the source is defined - the essence.
Now to put my money where my mouth is..and forget about this blogging stuff.
Unless you've got a dodgey connection ofcourse.
I wrote a blog entry at lunch time today..and it completely dissappeared. Ahh mystery.. Well it was quite annoying as I've not been so in tune with the ol' blog of late, and I had a bit of a speel about BASIL - the herb.
I had a grafitti jam with Stew, Hee and Raj the other night. It was a bit fun I must say. Here is the image.
HappyHee is in Seoul, Raj is in Dubai, and Stew is relatively close - same city as me infact.
AN excerpt from a story I made for a belated birthday gift. I'm not sure how the Fizzog would feel about a bit of his birthday gift being online. But here it is..
I've been ensconced in my snippets of late. That is trying to cobble together more inkwinks fodder. I have afew sound bits that are short and loopable. There is one that I almost want to leave as is without visuals. Mmm we'll see. Projex afoot.
Sneakily I slipped into a lunchtime ACMI screening of the Iron Giant. I say "sneakily" because I never feel quite comfortable going in to a cinema in the middle of the day ...I don't know why but it urks me.
I was completely awe struck. It was magnificent to see on the big screen. The opening shot was very powerful.......this didn't strike me as much whenst I watched it on DVD a few years ago. I must say I was very glad to have extracted myself from my day and to have planted myself in front of this film. Such a well written story - I shed some little tears and I giggled out loud. Twas splendid indeed.
I've been to see the Grotesque exhibition at the NGV three times now. The combination of closely working on an etching with a magnifying glass (see previous silverfish blog entry) and then having a long gaze at some very beautiful and evocative etchings is really quite a grounding experience. Also inspiring ofcourse, but strangely grounding. It is the mark of the artist's hand that describes the image, it is the residue of this process that delivers the idea, the content, the image, ..the thoughts if you like. Its not just the idea, its the careful consideration of the delivery, and the 'peace' of time that was given/used by the artist to create the piece.
I also visited G editioning one of his mezzotints yesterday. Lots of talk about silverfish.
Re the etching I had to touch up last week. It didn't work. Well it did initially, then I was asked to touch it up a little more. I sat down again with my little magnifying mechanism and fixed it...a little too much..and the patch where the blighter of a silverfish had chewed it ended up looking like a bit of pooh.
Serious action was required. I spent another evening focussing on the original set of images that this particular image is a part of, and indeed the poem with which it is 'bound' to in its final state. So then I created additional marks to the composition - which was tricky..as I had to emulate some light plate scratches. To get to the point: It was a success I managed to clear up any confusion between the etched image and ..pooh.
The print has now trancended into a world apart from me. Its a "letting go" that I have mentioned before..and shan't harp on about it now.
I've decided to eat the rest of Mel's wasabi peas Despite the fact that they make my tongue sting, my eyes water, and will probably give me a rash, I find them very hard to stop eating!
Animation news: Well I was to venture out to see The Cat Returns, a studio Ghibli animation, but I've not yet fixed up an etching that is being picked up in a number of hours. The said etching has a spot on it that has been chewed by a silverfish..so I have to touch it up a bit with some watercolour.
Silverfish, Lespisma sacchrina (Linnaeus) (Thysanura: Lepismatidae).
I actually quite like silverfish, they have a lovely slippery way of moving.
An anti-schmick picture for our entertainment, albeit brief.
I animated some bats on Friday...it was quite a splendid experience I must say. When I am animating I am held by a sensation that can only be described as being in tune. It is really quite nice. I am still thinking about the ol' "Improvisation and Animation" research paper I wrote last year. I wonder if that feeling that I am getting during the creation of an animation can be expressed to the viewer. This reminds me of when I used to play music with Cam, Ted and Cloocas. There were occasional gigs that would have a moment in a song where it would feel as though everyone in the room listening had felt the same sensation of ...how can I describe it...perhaps I can't. Perhaps it is just a connection. Perhaps I just don't have words for it right now. It is music that does it though, and really we must all know that sensation that music is capable of imbuing in us. Like a transendence of some sort. I do go on in my sleepy and somewhat delerious current mindframe, perhaps I am just inspired by a song that I rediscovered recently. It is the most beautiful arrangement and refreshingly textured song. The first time I heard it I felt it had cast a spell on me.
In that case I'll just pop up another picture.
This is a drawing I did in England. It is titled "Things that smell"
Of course I have twiddled with it in Phiddlioshop, .........added the spearmint flavour and ruddied up the critters a little.

It is a pitty that the heel and toes, which are tehnologically most interesting, did not survive.
Thank you! We need to look for this next time we are checking up on the collection.
We have a limited amount of pictures of shaping stitches. It can also be a typo/ translation mistake from us to use decrease as a term. Maybe gusset would be more correct.
So it's knitted in the round, since they have a false seam? Interesting, as the Elonora stockings are knitted in the flat.
Do you mean Eleonora of Toledo? Her stockings were knitted in round too. As well as any other historic hand-knitted stockings I know of.
The conservator who worked with the Elonora di Toledo stockings claims that they were knitted in the flat, that's why I asked.
I have seen only photos of Eleonora's stockings and I do not know who the conservator in question is and whether he/she is an expert on knitting, but I have examined several stockings knitted in round, which were earlier described by conservators or textile historians (experts on woven fabrics, not on knitting) as knitted flat and then sewn.

The Bell Mag-9 Sena Helmet is new to Bell's 3/4 helmet line. The designers at Bell created the Mag-9 for riders looking for built-in convenience. The Bell Mag 9 Helmet has an optically correct face shield and retractable sun shield. In addition, Bell incorporated a removable visor that allows riders to shield themselves from the sun or road debris. The standout feature of the Mag-9 Sena Helmet is its Bluetooth compatibility. Bell paired with Sena (pun intended) to turn the Mag 9 into a Bluetooth compatible helmet. The Bell Mag-9 Sena Helmet has an integrated port, which will accept the Bell Mag-9 Sena SMH-10 Bluetooth Headset perfectly.

Getto w Białej Podlaskiej – żydowskie getto utworzone przez Niemców w marcu 1941 roku w Białej Podlaskiej. Znajdowało się w obrębie ulic Grabanowskiej (obecnie Moniuszki), Prostej, Sadowej i Janowskiej.

Historia
Getto utworzono w marcu 1941 roku, choć pomysł stworzenia żydowskiego osiedla istniał już wcześniej. Zgromadzono w nim ok. 8400 Żydów z miasta i powiatu bialskiego. Żydzi wykorzystywani byli do budowy nowych ulic w mieście, a także do budowy lotniska w Małaszewiczach. W getcie panowały straszne warunki, przez co szerzyło się wiele chorób, m.in. dur brzuszny i tyfus plamisty, które najwięcej ofiar pochłonęły na wiosnę 1942 roku. Od czerwca do sierpnia 1942 w czterech egzekucjach, w lesie Grabarka, Gestapo rozstrzelało ok. 800 Żydów. Ciała pogrzebano na miejscu egzekucji.

Getto rozpoczęto likwidować 10 czerwca 1942 roku. Wówczas grupę ok. 3000 Żydów hitlerowcy wywieźli do obozu zagłady w Sobiborze. W kolejnych miesiącach do Białej sprowadzono Żydów z innych likwidowanych gett z powiatu, m.in. z Podedworza, Janowa Podlaskiego i Konstantynowa.

Ostateczna likwidacja getta rozpoczęła się we wrześniu 1942 (trwała do 30 września 1942 r.). Wtedy zamordowano w Białej ok. 3600 Żydów. Pozostałych (ok. 6000 osób) przetransportowano i przepędzono pieszo do Międzyrzeca Podlaskiego. Stamtąd zostali wywiezieni do obozu zagłady w Treblince. Ostatni wywóz Żydów z Białej miał miejsce w lipcu 1943. Zginęło wówczas 5424 Żydów z miasta i powiatu, a około 30 udało się uciec z transportu.

Upamiętnienie
 Żydzi z Białej Podlaskiej zostali upamiętnieni jednym z kamieni z nazwą miasta, stanowiącym element pomnika Ofiar Obozu Zagłady w Treblince.

Rob Carrick's recent columns in the Globe and Mail discuss how Canadian young adults may be getting a "raw deal" in today's economy. Carrick discussed the interplay between the minimum wage, tuition fees and high unemployment facing Canadian Millennials today. In Monday's article he explained how house price gains in excess of inflation make it harder for new buyers to get into the market.
Citing the Canadian Real Estate Association if house prices had kept up with inflation since the 1980's the average house in Canada would cost $154, 587, where in April this year the actual average cost of a home was $397, 677. And while in the 1980s the cost of a house might have been 1.6 times a family's annual income it is now a multiple around 6 times the annual income.
This leads us to consider, will this have a lasting effect on the Canadian Millennials? According to a recent study we found that many young Canadians hold home ownership high on their list of priorities. Our November 2011 National Survey asked Millennials to rank a list of seven top priorities. On average, Canadians across generations and including Millennials, hold owning their own home among their top three priorities.
While owning a home remains a high priority for members of the Great Generation, Millennials are on par with Gen X and Baby Boomers when it comes to owning a home, ranking as the third priority across these demographic groups, on average.
As of last fall 23% of Millennials reported that they owned their own home or condo, 48% reported that they were renting an apartment and 29% of Millennials aged 18 and older were still living with their parents or family members, rent free.
In his recent book, How Not to Move Back in With Your Parents, Rob Carrick discusses the difficult decision Millennials will face when trying to balance debt and home ownership.

He said that PUCM has been supporting the government in the past, and will continue to support them in the future as well.
"In last I would like to thank and appreciate all the Christians in Pakistan and specially staying abroad for playing a key role in maintaining the respect of our government in all the aspects throughout the world," he continued.


I think agile story estimation à la planning poker isn't agile any more. It breeds too much verbal discussion that doesn't lead to improving productivity. The ability to put down a number produces false confidence in expected outcomes by letting you wrap an unknown and undefined number of complications into a clean-looking (albeit higher) estimate. What you are really saying with that number is that you don't know how long the task will take.
I made up a new way of estimating software development scope (as a thought experiment this morning). I call it… zen estimation.
Scope is broken down into stories. A story is the business deliverable unit. Requirements are shared on the story level.
Stories consist of tasks. A task is the unit of work. To start with, a story is treated as one task.
Every task is worth 1 point. A story is worth the number of its tasks. So, at the beginning, every story is worth 1 point.
If a story or task feels too big for 1 point, list its steps and break it down into several tasks.
If a task feels too small for 1 point, wrap it up into the next task, and don't dive into too much details next time.
If a story feels too small for 1 point, you are underestimating the cost of testing and writing specs.
If a story is too vague or needs investigation, do that investigation before committing to the scope. If that is not possible, add investigation as a separate task (now the story has two tasks worth one point each).
If you end up with tasks that take more than a day, your planning is not good enough.
I feel like this approach to estimating would bring focus from fiddling with abstract numbers of "points" to planning out work into actionable steps.


My Name is Tanner and for over five years I've dedicated my time, energy and knowledge to creating some of the most popular iOS and Apple-related tech content on YouTube, especially where jailbreaking is concerned. Like most individuals who hone their crafts, I've vastly improved the quality of the videos I produce and have reached a level of success I could only have dreamt of when I started the channel in high school. However, now that I've reached another massive milestone, 700,000 subscribers (thank you SO MUCH btw), I've been contemplating what's next: expansion!
Running the iCrackUriDevice YouTube channel is no easy task - I'm constantly striving to bring you breaking updates in the realm of iOS and Jailbreaking first! Patreons', with your support I intend to improve the quality of my channel even further, expand into new areas and launch more giveaways (possibly sans FreeAppsFast - regular viewers will know what I'm referring to). This is an exciting time and I hope you'll support me in my efforts to expand and bring the best tech content to YouTube!
- Firstly, Giveaways! I've always loved the concept of giveaways, raffles, drawings, whatever you choose to call them. I feel it's important to give back to the viewers who have helped me reach the level of YouTube channel success I have today. With your support, I want to both reduce and eventually eliminate sponsored giveaways (i.e. FreeAppsFast) and simply giveaway MORE of everything: gift cards, iPhones, iPads, iPods, Apple TVs and possibly even MACS!
- Secondly, I'm at the point where I want to move beyond the scope of merely Apple product coverage and the occasional one-off products from other brands (Samsung, iRobot, etc). In order to properly accomplish this step, I'm going to need to bring someone else on board the iCrackUriDevice team (which currently consists of myself, my dog and my mother, without whom I never would have had the support needed to start my channel in the first place). Seriously, I want to bring on someone who will be able to aid in everything from content creation, to editing my videos and even assisting in graphics design/production - I already have a great candidate in mind.
- Thirdly, provided we're able to expand beyond the second point, we'll need office space! Needless to say, that can be rather pricey. However, it should pay off in the long term, as it will allow for significantly improved production quality. Currently, I have a home office and all of the shots are captured in various spots around my house. Having dedicated office space will enable us to setup permanent "sets" or "stages" for varying types of videos; unboxings, news updates, tutorials, and so on.
- Finally, there are of course other goals and milestones that both accompany the above three points and compliment them. In other words, the channel will improve in more ways than listed above in light of your generous contributions.
I've put my blood, sweat and tears into YouTube (literally), and I couldn't be happier with the results. Regardless of whether you help contribute to the expansion of the iCrackUriDevice YouTube channel, thank you so much for aiding me in my quest to share my knowledge and love of technology with the planet. I won't stop until I've reached all goals outlined in this Patreon campaign and I hope you'll join me in helping the channel grow by pledging. Also note that I've put an enormous amount of time into coming up with what I think are some really EPIC REWARDS to show you how grateful I am for your contributions.
Thank you again so much for your support throughout the years! You've helped me in more ways than you can imagine!
Official supporter status and a device to show it! At this level, you'll get a custom iCrackUriDevice team designed Apple device graphic (it could be an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, etc). You'll also of course receive access to my "Patreon Posts", which will have complete details on the status of the campaign and regular updates on what I'm working on. Most of you know I like to keep Twitter updates concerning new videos pretty cryptic. You also have my official and absolute permission to use adblock on my videos (because you'll be helping in a much grander way)!
You're a premium supporter and you'll get the VIP treatment! Contributors at this stage will receive direct early access to non-time sensitive videos (all videos other than crucial jailbreak/iOS updates & tutorials) approximately 24 hours before they're published out to the world. You'll be a part of an exclusive group with early access and, guess what, you'll be able to view the videos free of ads because they won't be monetized on YouTube until they're official published. Oh, and you'll also receive your name in the description of a video at least once!
Official Jailbreak notifications and alerts! Waiting for a new jailbreak can be frustrating, I know. Therefore, to save time and to maintain your cool, if you're a contributor at this level you'll know the second a new jailbreak drops. Due to the nature of my work, I know the instant a new jailbreak utility is released to the world and because of this, so will you! Ensuing the release of a new jailbreak, before I even set to work on creating my video and written tutorials, I'll take to Patreon to alert all supporters of this tier and inform them of the release and provide an official link to the jailbreak.
Access to a select special Giveaways and Prizes! In addition to the typical giveaways I intend to hold, I want to open up this tier to those who not only support the channel but want a better chance of winning epic prizes on a MONTHLY basis. Due to the financial requirement of this tier, the rewards will grow in cost as the number of supporters on this level does. Get in soon to ensure a better chance of winning!
You'll be a part of something bigger and be featured! For this tier, your "Custom Apple Device" from the entry level will be unique to you! We'll show you our thanks by making a custom graphic that will appear in new videos to let EVERYONE know how incredibly awesome you are (how your custom avatar, which will be accompanied by your name as well, appears will be slightly random - I'll let you know when it's time).
A Never-Ending Supply of Epic Wallpapers and Voicemail, YES!
Wallpapers and custom recording galore! While creating videos, it's no secret that I use a number of great wallpapers for my devices, computer monitor (when it appears in shots), thumbnails, etc. For this reward, you'll receive a weekly list of all wallpapers I use when creating each of my videos. Additionally, I will record a message for your voicemail (excluding cooperate and/or obscene messages).
Official iCrackUriDevice support and call! You'll receive direct support from myself if you have any complications with the jailbreak process. In addition to a Skype audio call and screen sharing, you can choose to use Team Viewer during our session to allow me to guide your computer through the steps. Alternatively, you can opt to just have a Skype audio chat to talk tech, life and/or the mysteries of the universe (call time may vary). Please note that you don't have to pay for this perk monthly - you can downgrade after receiving support at ant time. However, you will receive one session per month at this level!
Reaching this milestone will ensure that I'm able to hold a giveaway for a shiny new iPad Pro - possibly monthly (without the aid of FreeAppsFast).

Hot gas desulphurisation with dolomite sorbent in coal gasification

Gasification technologies are among the most promising electrical power generation options both from an environmental and efficiency point of view, as they allow efficient, environmentally-friendly use of national coal, as well as other carbonaceous materials mixed with coal, including high sulphur by-products.During gasification, sulphur is converted mainly into H2S and secondly into COS, and control of these has been researched using several H2S adsorbents. The aim of this paper was advanced removal of these compounds. Dolomite, which reacts with H2S to yield calcium sulphide, was chosen from among several earth-alkaline compounds for research due to its properties and low cost in reducing the presence of H2S in coal gasification. Tests were carried out using dolomite from Granada, Spain, with this sorbent used without blending and with amounts of 100 g and 150 g in each test. The dolomite was sulphurized using a mixture of gases that simulates the gasification gas. The influence of sulphurisation conditions such as gas velocity, bed length, grain size, gas temperature, and gas composition were investigated. The solid products obtained were characterised by X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis. The behaviour of COS that normally accompanies H2S in gasification gases was investigated and found to follow a breakthrough curve similar to H2S, with equilibrium existing between the COS destroyed due to reaction with hydrogen and by hydrolysis and the COS formed by reaction of CO2 with H2S. Hence, its content in outlet gases is a function of the composition of this gas, especially in terms of CO2, H2S and H2O. The accelerating effect of sulphurised dolomite on the rate of the reverse water-shift reaction was demonstrated.

The annual winter Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival (January 5 – February 5) was first celebrated in 1963 and is now the largest ice and snow festival in the world. The average temperature is a (minus) – 16.8 degrees Celsius or 1.76 Fahrenheit. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees, so the cold is below frigid.
"Traditionally, the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival open around Dec 24-25 and lasts to the end of February. But its official opening ceremony is usually held on January 5th each year." According to IceFestivalHarbin.com, if you plan to visit, avoid February 4 – 10, 2019, and escape the crush during the Chinese New Year that is based on the lunar calendar.
The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival was first held in 1963, but it was interrupted during Mao's Cultural Revolution. Mao died in 1976, and it took time for China's economic engine to recover. The fact that the festival resumed in 1985 was an early sign of the changes soon to take place in China.
Since 1985, China has transformed itself by rebuilding the old cities while building more than a hundred new ones in addition to the explosion of a middle class that equals or surpasses the entire population of the United States with plans to double that middle class in the next decade or two.
China has also crisscrossed the country with new highways and railroads that include more high speed rail than the rest of the world combined. China has also built more than 500 new airports while America's airports are way overdue for an upgrade along with the rest of U.S. infrastructure that is out of date and falling apart. In fact, Money reports the U.S. is ranked #28 for average mobile internet speed.
In 1535, Portuguese traders obtained the rights to anchor ships in Macau's harbors and to carry out trade. Then in 1557, they established a permanent settlement there. In 1999, 442 years later, the same year China banned the Falun Gong religious cult, Macao was back.
Since Macau was returned to China in 1999, it has overtaken Las Vegas to become the world's biggest gambling mecca. Since 1999, Macau, along with Hong Kong, is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China, and it is situated on the western side of the Pearl River Delta across from Hong-Kong.
The next building trend expanded Macao into a global entertainment and high-end shopping hub along with leisure activities, but that has not matched the success of gambling that remains Macau's main money maker. In fact, almost every business depends on the gambling to survive.
However, the days of Chinese Triads having shooting wars on Macau's streets are histroy. The Chinese Communist Party will not tolerate the violence and the People's Liberation Army is much larger than any triad gang. If the CCP will ban the Falun Gong for illegally protesting in China, imagine what it would do to the triads.
Macao is not China even though it is technically part of the People's Republic. The World History Blog provides a short history of the former Portuguese colony, which is a Special Administrative Region in China today but has more in common with the Principality of Monaco or Las Vegas.
Macao's location was first settled by members of the South Sung Dynasty escaping invading Mongols in 1277. Centuries later, Portuguese traders built a staging port there, the oldest European settlement in the Far East.
The Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1643) did not recognize that Macao belonged to Portugal and collected rent until 1849 when the Portuguese, taking advantage of China's defeat during the first opium war with England and France, declared Macau's independence from China.
Britannica reports the 1999 transfer agreement allowed Macao to govern itself with a one-house legislature and a legal system based on Portuguese law, not China's legal system.
In 1949, 99 percent of Tibetans were mostly illiterate serfs. Serfs have always been treated as an inferior element in society. As serfs, most Tibetans depended entirely upon the few landowners for survival. In this system of serfdom, peasants could be traded, punished without due process of law, and made to pay tribute to the lord with labor. When China occupied Tibet, all those serfs were freed just like they were throughout China.
Did you notice there was no mention of rent or a mortgage payment? My mortgage payment in the United States is almost 38 percent of my income and a friend and his family of three pay more in rent for less space in the same area. But in urban China,, renting or owning a home is not free. Tibet is mostly a rural area of China.
Even the lives of Tibetan Nomads that makeup about a quarter of the population is changing. "Tibetan nomads have a lot in common with Mongolian nomads. Tibetan nomad culture is quickly disappearing as more Tibetans each year are being relocated off of the grasslands." But that might have more to do with climate change.
Nature.com reports, "A comprehensive environmental assessment of the Plateau of Tibet has found that the region is getting hotter, wetter and more polluted, threatening its fragile ecosystems and those who rely on them.
The plateau and its surrounding mountains cover 5 million square kilometers and hold the largest stock of ice outside the Arctic and Antarctic; the region is thus often referred to as the Third Pole. And like the actual poles, it is increasingly feeling the effects of climate change, but rapid development is putting it doubly at risk and is also changing lifestyle choices.
To protect the Shibaozhai temple (#6), the Chinese government had a six-hundred-foot high, thirty-three-foot thick dike built to protect it. Many river cruise boats dock at Shibaozhai for a few hours to allow passengers to tour the pavilion and temple.
In the early fourteen hundreds, the emperor moved the capital of China to Beijing to establish better control over the country. It took a million laborers and artists fourteen years to build. The Forbidden City has 9,999 rooms—as close as a man can get to the palace of the gods, which is supposed to have ten-thousand rooms.
Mount Wudang is home to eight palaces, seventy-two temples in caves, thirty-nine bridges, thirty-six nunneries, twelve pavilions, and two temples.
During the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1643 AD), Mt. Wudang was known as a grand spectacle of all ages and is one of the best examples of ancient-religious architecture anywhere.
The Golden Hall, a temple built on Mt. Wudang in the 15th century is the largest copper building in China. The ninety-ton structure was plated in Gold in Beijing before being moved to the mountain.
Near the banks of China's Yangtze River, a twelve story, five-hundred year-old Buddhist temple made of wood clings to a cliff without the support of a single nail. Before the temple was built, devout Buddhists climbed the cliff risking their lives to worship the Buddhist statutes on the mountain. The temple was built to resist high winds and remedy this problem.
To protect and save the temple against rising water due to construction of China's Three Gorges Dam, the Chinese government had a radical and ambitious solution.

I met 'Bond, James Bond' on Midsummer's Eve in April 2002. True love quickly blossomed, we were engaged last January, bought our dream cottage last July and now we're making our final preparations for the wedding on 3rd June.
Who'd have thought I would meet my husband through Midsummer's Eve!!!!


Part 3 of this series on UML tackles aggregation, which is a special form of association. Part 2 showed you how associations related one class to another, but this article shows that associations are not strong enough when you need to specify ownership.
To preserve SRP in the client class you will create an intermediate class called Portfolio. The purpose of Portfolio will be to maintain the total values of all the clients stocks. You added a new type of associations between these classes, this is called aggregation in UML and is used in cases where one class owns another class. In Ontology this ownership is called a part-whole relationship. Aggregation is used this way to show that a client owns a portfolio and that the portfolio contains securities.
Figure 2. Adding a Portfolio Class: Adding a Portfolio class creates the "separation of concerns" that you are looking for. You added a type attribute to security with a default of "Stock" to allow differentiation between different types of securities. The lines with the filled in diamond represent composition, with the parent class having the diamond attached, and the child class being the other end.
In MDA (Model Driven Architecture) the trend has been to display aggregation using regular unidirectional associations. As mentioned, from a coding perspective there is no syntactic difference. However, from a semantic view there is a difference. In the current example you know that only the client can access the portfolio. If this relationship was just an association this would not be clear. In fact, the type of aggregation used in the example is referred to as composition and only allows for single ownership.
To value a portfolio requires some stock quotes. You could type the quotes in by hand, but in most cases the quotes are pulled in from some external system. The manner of representing aggregation has changed in the example. It has become an unfilled diamond as opposed to the filled ones in the other aggregations. This is the standard form of aggregation and is a weaker form than the composition that you used earlier. Ownership is still present but this form of aggregation allows for multiple owners. If this were represented by an association line, you would assume that the portfolio references the quotes in some fashion. By using aggregation you know that the Portfolio must be a subscriber to the quotes, not just have some relation to them. While this difference may not seem like much it will effect the supporting classes to these quotes are coded. As noted, if you auto-generated the code for this there would be no difference between associations, aggregations, and the stronger form of compositions.
Figure 3. Adding Live Quotes to the Portfolio: Notice the use of the <<external>> stereotype for a system that exists outside of the current system.
The assumption made is that every trade conducted for the client was done at the same price. There are a couple of ways of handling this. You could use some type of averaging scheme to come up with an average stock price in Security.addTrade. Another solution would be to loop through all the trades and perform the calculation against the new quote. We can leave these details to the user.
You do have one more bit of refactoring to do. In the sample you had a variable for StockCollection. You also need to replace the Client collection that was lost when you used the Client class to represent one client.

Biografia
Appassionato viaggiatore e cronista d'epoca, nel 1879 intraprese un viaggio in Cina e Siberia, raggiungendo quella che lui considerava la nuova San Francisco, la cittadina russa di Vladivostok.
La sua conoscenza della Malesia, raggiunta da lui per ben 3 volte, e dei territori limitrofi gli consentirono di formulare un dizionario e manuale di conversazione italiano-malese di estrema rarità. Nel 1898, in uno dei suoi ultimi viaggi, affiancato da un ingegnere australiano, Giovanni Gaggino percorse la vallata cinese del fiume Yang Tze Kiang.

Aforismi
 La moneta tenuta inoperosa a nulla serve, e rende schiavo chi la possiede.
 Nelle imprese ove non è rischio, non vi può essere gloria.
 Riconoscere la propria ignoranza, è grandezza.
 Risparmio è doppio guadagno.
 La moneta è il linguaggio internazionale.
 La necessità avvilisce, come la ricchezza insuperbisce, umilia l'uomo dabbene, fa un birbante del cattivo.
 Soltanto l'ignorante può ritenersi felice; per chi ha cuore gentile ed intelletto sveglio, i mali che affliggono l'umanità bastano a renderlo infelice.


My 7 year old is very recently diagnosed. She did 8 wks of EEN & then moved on to 25mgs of 6MP daily. After 10 days she had very bad side effects, vomiting, diahoerra, sweating, fast shallow breathing. We re-trialed it 4 days later & she woke up vomiting within 6 hours of the dose. I now know what "intolerant" to a drug means!
So what would any of you recommend for her to trial next? I'd like to try the lesser meds first. She is not fond of needles  She apparently has mild to moderate Crohn's but I know that can change at any time. Her bloods & CRP are normal at present as on partial EEN & low residue diet.
We'll take the GIs advice but he's away on holidays so would just like guidance as to what he might recommend so I've researched the drug first.
Usually MTX is next if she is going to be on an immunosuppressant. After that, typically biologics, Remicade and Humira.
We went straight to Remicade + MTX after diagnosis. Every kiddo is different though. In the US, it seems like they are more willing to jump to biologics quickly.
Of all the immunosuppressants we tried, Imuran (which is the sister drug of 6MP) was the hardest to tolerate for my daughter. She got infection after infection. We were happy to switch!
Wanted to add MTX can be a pill or a shot. The shot has a tiny thin needle and according to my daughters, is basically painless. Many GIs use the shot if they're using MTX for therapeutic purposes and the pill if it's just a low dose to prevent antibodies to a biologic.
In the juvenile arthritis world, the MTX shot is used as a first line drug, and I have known kids as young as 4 or 5 to give it to themselves! It really is much easier than you'd expect.
Thanks so much for your replies. It's great to hear the needles are very small. The CNS told us that all Dub-cutaneous needle sizes are the same & there's no paediatric size. I was dubious but I'll wait & see. There's a company (who manufacture the drug), who will come to our house to teach us how it's done. Fingers crossed it will work.
Hmmmm...there are two companies that make autoinjectors of MTX and those would be the ones where you generally can't control needle size. Those are like pens - you press a button and it injects. Some kids hate them and some kids like them because you can't see the needle.
We never used the MTX autoinjectors. We just drew it up into an insulin syringe with a tiny thin needle. That is what didn't hurt according to my daughters.
I would be worth looking up the two auto-injectors - Rasuvo and Otrexup websites to see if that's what you're getting.
I'm surprised they go straight to prescribing auto-injectors. Here (in the US) you get a vial of MTX and then draw it up with an insulin syringe. The auto-injectors are more expensive, so insurance companies sometimes refuse to pay for them.
Anyway, if the auto-injector hurts a lot, then I'd definitely ask if you can do it with an insulin syringe - it has a tiny thin needle and according to my daughters, it doesn't hurt at all.
Some kids do better with tablets and others with injections. Typically, doctors say the injection is better because you don't have to worry about it not being absorbed due to GI issues (which is why most GIs use the injection if MTX is being used to control the disease).
Doctors will also often say that the injection causes fewer side effects - kids complain of nausea less etc. But actually studies don't really show a big difference in terms of side effects.
So it really is individual - my daughters did better on the injections (less nausea) but there are most definitely kids who have fewer side effects using the MTX pills. Increasing folic acid also will help with side effects and Zofran is used for nausea if necessary.
But many kids have no side effects at all with MTX. My older daughter has been on it for years - no side effects besides some fatigue. She does the injection on a Saturday night so she can rest on Sunday.
