Gannochy Trust housing development wins first UK-wide award
The Gannochy Trust's lifetime neighbourhood in Perth, designed by Glasgow architecture firm Anderson Bell + Christie, has won the Best Healthy Homes Development (rural and suburban) and Best Affordable Housing Development at this year's Inside Housing Development Awards.
This is the first UK-wide award for the development, having picked up accolades at the Scottish Design Awards, Glasgow Institute of Architects Awards and the Herald Property Awards in Scotland earlier this year.
The 48-house development integrates seamlessly with the original housing estate built by Gannochy Trust founder and former Scotch whisky entrepreneur and philanthropist, Arthur Kinmond (A.K.) Bell in the 1920s. The new development is underpinned by three core design principles; 'Healthy Homes for Life,' 'Lifetime Neighbourhoods' and 'High Quality Design' which aim to improve health, accessibility and connectedness for tenants, with the flexibility to adapt to their needs as circumstances change.
Many of the developments core design principles were inspired by the work of A.K Bell, particularly his legacy of creating healthy homes for the community. Back in the 1920s, Bell designed spacious houses that were south facing to maximise sunlight, with large gardens all set within a thriving community. He was also passionate about the positive benefits of good indoor air quality and went to the lengths of installing brass plaques in each house with a message encouraging tenants to keep their home well ventilated.
Nearly 100 years on, The Gannochy Trust has incorporated many of Bell's original ideas into the new development, such as the installation of a passive ventilation system and laundry rooms to improve indoor air quality.
The Trust and its partners also recognised the importance of creating an environment that fostered good mental health and wellbeing through a range of design features. These include open plan living areas with large windows and high ceilings to maximise natural daylight and a sense of space. Each home also has a special sheltered seating area called a 'sitooterie' to encourage social interaction and a sense of community.
Stephen Lamb, director of Anderson Bell + Christie, said: "We are delighted to receive the Best Healthy Homes Development and Best Affordable Housing Development at this year's Inside Housing Development Awards. This is the development' first national award and is testament to the dedication and hard work of all the consultants and contractors who worked with us on this project. We have made every effort to continue the legacy of A.K Bell by creating an exemplar housing estate that promotes healthy living within a thriving community. These awards should be credited to Bell and the legacy he left us as much as they are to the achievements of Anderson Bell + Christie and its partners."
David Gray, chairman of the Gannochy Trust, added: "We are proud to win the healthy homes and affordable housing categories at the Inside Housing Development Awards. We thank all our partners for making this development happen. This award is in recognition for their hard work and ingenuity as well as the legacy of our founder A.K Bell. The principles we have applied in designing homes which aim to foster good physical and mental health have proven particularly important as we continue to deal with the effects of the Covid pandemic."
The Gannochy Trust Lifetime Neighbourhood was built by Campion Homes and designed by Glasgow architectural firm Anderson Bell + Christie. 'Healthy Homes for Life,' and 'High Quality Design' elements also received design input from the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit at Glasgow School of Art with support from the Construction Scotland Innovation Centre.

Q: Using Typescript promise instead of jQuery deferred I am having the below lines of code which is using JQueryDeferred object from the type definition class jquery.d.ts. Trying to replace jQuery deferred to typescript promise.
Existing JQueryDeferred code;
class A {
   private b: class B = new B();

   public  function1(param:string):JQueryDeferred<object> {
     var obj: JQueryDeferred<object> = $.Deferred();
     b.registerFunction1(obj);
     if(param) {//some other condition checking code)
       obj.resolve();
     }
     return obj;
   }
}

class B {

 public registerFunction1(obj:JQueryDeferred<object>): void {
  domhandler.addEventListner(dom, 'onFunction1', onFunction1.bind(obj));
 }

 public onFunction1(obj:JQueryDeferred<object>, evt:KeyboardEvent):void {
   obj.resolve(evt);
 }

}

So far, I have refactored the lines of code for class A with;
class A {

   private b: class B = new B();

   public function1(param:string):Promise<object>{
     var obj: Promise<object> = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
       b.registerFunction1(obj);
       if(param){//some other condition checking code
          resolve();
       }
      });
     return obj;
   }
}

But I am not sure how to rewrite the entire lines for class B, as I haven't seen promise objects passed as function arguments. Even though its passed, we cannot call resolve() of that promise object in the binder function "onFunction1" because it is not supported in typescript.
Can somebody help me to refactor the class B code lines to incorporate the typescript promise?

A: The idea is that you pass on the resolve function where you would previously pass on the deferred object. Something like this:
class A {
    private b: class B = new B();

    public function1(param:string):Promise<object>{
        return Promise<object> = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            b.registerFunction1(resolve);
            if (param) { //some other condition checking code
                resolve();
            }
        });
    }
}

class B {
    public registerFunction1(resolve): void {
        domhandler.addEventListener(dom, 'onFunction1', resolve);
    }
}

Unrelated, but be aware that a promise can only resolve once, while an event listener might call its callback multiple times. Moreover, if the param condition is true, the promise will resolve immediately, and calling resolve in the event listener will have no effect. These considerations are equally true in the version that uses a deferred object.

Ferguson shooting protest spreads to Muncie
Seth Slabaugh
seths@muncie.gannett.com
MUNCIE – The "Stop Shooting Us!" protest over a white police officer's fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., will spread to Muncie over the weekend with a peaceful demonstration and march.
Meanwhile, man-on-the-street interviews of local residents on Wednesday indicated blacks and whites have different reactions to the death of Michael Brown in suburban St. Louis. Racial differences over the shooting also have been evident in national public opinion polls.
"I heard a little bit about it," Lucas Smith, a Caucasian, told The Star Press. "You talking about the one that was stealing stuff? If you're stealing stuff and not paying for it, you deserve to have something happen to you — not necessarily shot and killed. It depends on the situation. I guess it could be justified or it could be unjustified."
Brandon Storms, an African-American, called the shooting "overkill," "senseless" and "unnecessary" — the result of "poor judgment" by the police officer.
James Hayes, a Caucasian, said, "A black kid got shot by a white cop. They tried to bring race into it. It was the cop's decision. He had to make a quick decision. I guess he did what was right. The cop must have been in fear for his life I guess to kill somebody."
Darvell Williams, an African-American who moved to Muncie from Gary four years ago, said, "Out in St. Louis they arming themselves, they protesting every day, they come out every day because the police is not right for doing that. How you going to shoot an unarmed man?"
James South, a Caucasian, said, "Whether it's racially motivated or not, it's going to be painted in that light. A white officer, a black teenager. It could have nothing to do with race at all but it's going to be painted in that light. You can't do anything for it. That's the world."
Eric Lee, an African-American who moved to Muncie from Chicago several months ago, said, "We have to worry about that every day in Chicago." But he added, "They (police) will try to help you. I've been locked up before. They try to help the situation than let it escalate."
Local barber Buddy Love, an African-American and ex-offender who turned his life around and earned a degree from Ball State University, said, "We have a dead young man who was unarmed. Certainly that is unacceptable."
But he said the answer is not looting and rioting.
"Let's not be ridiculous in our thinking that we can throw Molotov cocktails and challenge that type of authority," he said. "You can only challenge that authority mentally and educationally, and aggression has never solved the problem fully. In aggression, someone always gets hurt."
Love added: "The vast majority of the guys rioting and looting ... don't really know what the cause is. They've never been through the '50s, the '60s and the '70s. I am concerned most of our young men who are not educated don't know what's going on. Lend your bodies but not the violence, and support those who have the necessary educational wit to challenge the system and make things correct. Violence is not the answer."
Ball State student Nathaniel Thomas, a directing major in the theater department, agrees. The Atlanta, Ga., native's group, Ethnic Theatre Alliance, will host a peaceful protest on the Quad at 3 p.m. Sunday.
A flier for the event echoes the slogans that have been shown on news channels from Ferguson: "Hands Up Don't Shoot" and "Stop Shooting Us!"
"You can't decide who's right, who's wrong, because there are three sides to every story; there is Mike Brown's, the police officer's and then the truth," Thomas said. "I can only assume a man who is unarmed versus a man who is armed is only so much of a threat, especially when one is an adult and one is only 18 years old. But that's only assumptions. Mike Brown isn't here. We only have the police officer's statement, which he isn't making any. And they didn't want to release his name for a very long time. If it was an innocent mistake or ... if Mike Brown was a threat, why didn't we just release the entire story at the beginning?"
During the protest, the names of dozens of black victims of violence from Emmett Till to Michael Brown will be read. After every fifth name, a Caucasian actor wearing a white T shirt will pretend to shoot a black actor wearing a hoodie. The black actor will fall to the ground. At the same time, a judge's gavel will be pounded and the words "No Justice" will be cited.
The purpose of that and other events at the protest, including a march to Shafer Tower, is to "spark conversation, to get students out of the Ball State bubble ... so they can go back and talk," Thomas said.

Scene hair has really boosted the creativity for teens to get crafty all for the sake of standing out from the crowd of their peers. Many of the scene styles feature the use of colored long hair extension pieces in order to add a detail to the look and to stand out from all the other strands on the head. Hair extensions can be bought already dyed but many teens prefer to dye their own. Dying their own allows full creativity to choose any color they want, whether it is to match their very own hair color or to stand apart from the rest of the hair colour.
Dying the pieces is fairly easy. The two most important items of all the supplies needed are the hair extensions and the hair dye, which is usually a special brand that is not found in a common drugstore such as Manic Panic or Special Effects. These hair dyes have every color imaginable from vibrant greens to hot pink. The extensions must be 100% human hair so that they can take on the hair color. The other items needed are a mixing bowl, scissors, some newspaper, gloves and a tresses coloring brush. First you will lay the actual newspaper down on a flat surface and place your extensions laying down flat on the paper.
Next add some curly dye hair into the mixing bowl and dip your hair shade brush in to the mixture. Paint the color of the hair extensions until it is fully covered with the dye. Then you will need to rinse the extensions with cold water and use some conditioner to help rinse out the remaining coloring. Do not rinse your extensions in a sink or bathtub/shower since the color will ruin these surfaces. Instead, it is best to rinse them off in a metal bucket or even large pot and then pour the dirty water into a gutter and not down the particular sink.

Why are a pair of foreign terrorists sitting in a jail in Kentucky? That's what Senate GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell wants to know. He wants them sent to the facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they belong.
Why is the Justice Department doing this? Why expose our heartland to these monsters?
"… there's no requirement that a foreign terrorist be tried in a U.S. court simply because they were captured in the United States," McConnell said.
This is simply outrageous. Even Obama has admitted that Gitmo is the place for these evil-doers by his admission that he can't close the place down. Yet his Justice Dept. is visiting a trial for admitted terrorists on the heartland!
Barack Obama is happily painting a Muslim terror target on the state of Kentucky.

Discussion in 'iPad Tips, Help and Troubleshooting' started by Corrosive vinyl, Oct 16, 2012.
Hi there, guys. Recently my dad got a new ipad, and asked me to help him understand how to use it since I am the apple guy. One thing I couldn't get to work correctly was the settings icon on the home screen. It just isn't there, and I have no idea how to put it on the home screen. Can anyone help me with this simple but annoying issue?
Swipe right and use "Search iPad" to find "Settings"
I did that, but he was asking for an icon to hit instead of searching for it every time.
If you find it then you know it's there and you can move it wherever you want.
Hold your finger on the Settings icon until it and the other icons start to wiggle, then drag it to the left until you get to the "first" page of icons. Then hit the home button to stop the wiggling.
I can't hold my finger on settings icon until the icons start to wiggle because there is no settings icon on either of the two screens of icons.
I will show him the manual, but the manual apple provides is for ios 5.1 instead of ios 6.
Ashwood, so do I tell him to search for it, hold down the icon, and then move it to the home screen?
If I can't find an answer I will just tell him to restore it to factory settings because there is obviously something missing.
The home screen can have multiple pages and the icon could have been moved into a folder.
In Settings, go to General > Reset, then hit "Reset Homescreen Layout." That should dump all the icons out of any folders, and bring the Setting icon back to the first page. My advice is to drag it into the dock, then it will always be avaiable no matter which page you are on.

The Big Read Silicon Valley
Driverless cars: when robots rule the road
Google, Ford and others face regulatory hurdles as they push to take humans out of the driver's seat
© Barry Falls
Tim Bradshaw
Jump to comments section Print this page
Last year, California set out to draw up new rules of the road for the driverless car era. As the state's motoring regulator released its proposals, one immediately attracted controversy: the requirement that a human sit in the driver's seat.
For the pioneers of the autonomous car industry — among them Google and Tesla, both Californian companies — this rule would undermine the whole point of the technology. Instead of making the cars safer, they argued, it would only increase the chances of a crash.
"I cannot deliver this point more strongly: we need to be careful about the assumption that having a person behind the wheel will make the technology more safe," Chris Urmson, technical director of Google's self-driving car project, told a hearing in Sacramento this year to discuss the proposed rules.
How will robots really change our world? In this series, the FT meets the robots and talks to people already living and working with them to find out if they will be good or bad for humanity
Executives at Tesla and Ford echoed his argument. But Brian Soublet, deputy director and chief counsel at the California Department of Motor Vehicles, had another worry. Yes, there are potential safety benefits. But how would driverless cars share the road with vehicles driven by humans? Shouldn't a person be able to take control in an emergency?
"It is not going to be overnight that every person owns an autonomous vehicle," he says. "There is going to be a phase-in period where those vehicles are going to be on the road with a lot of other cars that do not have autonomous technology."
Mapping the future
The clash in Sacramento was a taste of the regulatory, social and ethical questions that will emerge as robots become more deeply integrated with everyday life. Thanks to rapid advances in artificial intelligence, sensor technology and computing power, labs from Silicon Valley to Tokyo are making huge strides in robotics that will transform industries from healthcare to agriculture.
But if self-driving cars are introduced as quickly as many in the industry hope, it is on the roads that many people will have their first encounter with a robot. And while Google touts the prospect of safer roads once the possibility of human error is removed from driving, the idea of unleashing two-tonne robots capable of reaching 60mph in 10 seconds strikes some as unnerving.
Video: Long road to a driverless future
Even industry executives acknowledge the potential for problems when traditional vehicles begin sharing the road with autonomous cars, which will have to learn to respond to hundreds of millions of erratic and distracted human drivers.
"It's going to be a wild mixture for quite some time, if not forever," says John Ristevski, a vice-president at Here, the digital mapping company owned by German carmakers Audi, BMW and Daimler. "Anything can happen and autonomous vehicles are going to have to be prepared for it."
Many people in the automotive and technology industries believe that computers — which never get drunk, look at their phones instead of the road or fall asleep at the wheel — are already better drivers than humans. But completely self-driving cars could take decades to reach every city, even if the first autonomous vehicles are on the road in some places within a couple of years.
How to navigate that transition, and how significant the subsequent disruption to the traditional automotive business will be, are matters of intense debate from Silicon Valley and Detroit to China, Germany and Japan.
"Many people in the industry want things to be safer and they want cars to be more accessible," says Gill Pratt, head of Toyota Research Institute, the Japanese carmaker's new research and development unit in Silicon Valley. "There's a divergence of opinion of how to get there."
Rather than the all-or-nothing approach to self-driving cars pioneered by Google, Toyota is focusing on a more incremental kind of autonomous technology. "We think that we can add intelligence to cars that works in parallel with drivers — like a guardian angel that's watching what you do and intervenes when you are about to make a mistake," he says.
While Toyota eventually aims to ditch the steering wheel too, this "guardian angel" is more achievable in the near term, he argues. It also preserves what Akio Toyoda, Toyota president, describes as the "thrill of driving", which Dr Pratt says is central to TRI's mandate.
Full autonomy "will be possible someday, but it's very, very hard", he says. "It's going to take a while until we get there."
Sit back and relax — or not
As many human drivers might appreciate, one of the big obstacles to self-driving cars is weather. Heavy rain, snow or fog can play havoc with sensors essential for autonomous navigation.
"There will always be conditions that you can't drive in," says Mr Urmson. This means that in highly unusual situations — Mr Urmson gives the example of a sudden downpour in a desert — a robot car may simply refuse to continue.
Nonetheless, Mr Urmson insists that anything short of a completely self-driving car is riskier and less useful than the incremental approach taken by the likes of Toyota. If the passenger has to be ready to take the wheel in an emergency — the idea behind the California proposal — "you're destroying a lot of the value to the user at that point", he says.
Google's early testing found that once passengers are told the car can drive itself most of the time, they lean their seat back and start snoozing or turn away from the road entirely. Mr Urmson concluded that the humans simply could not be trusted.
Dr Pratt, who previously oversaw the Robotics Challenge contest run by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, says this is one of the toughest problems facing autonomous vehicle technology. One idea is to get the driver's attention in an emergency with an alarm or by shaking the seat or steering wheel.
"The difficulty is really if they're asleep," he says. "The answer in that case is somehow pull the car off to the side of the road in a safe way."
An autonomous car's visualisation of its route using Lidar remote sensing technology
Even in the traditional automotive industry, many believe this issue simply cannot be resolved. "It really has to do with being uncomfortable about having technology that can re-engage fully disengaged drivers," says Jim Buczkowski, Ford's global director of electronics systems, research and innovation. "We have to make the assumption that is not going to happen."
Given the challenges, other tech companies are eschewing the Google example to take a more evolutionary approach to autonomous cars.
"You can't aim for perfect — you just have to aim for better than human," says George Hotz, founder and chief executive of Comma.ai, a start-up backed by Andreessen Horowitz, the venture capital group. Comma wants to alleviate the most painful aspect of driving. "We believe that our killer app is traffic," says Mr Hotz. "A lot of people spend a lot of time in it. It isn't fun."

Robot writer v human journalist: see the face-off at the FT
How has the robot economy triggered a global investment explosion?
The company, less than a year old, wants to use a combination of sensors, cameras and machine learning to make life easier for rush-hour commuters. Before the end of this year, Comma plans to release a $1,000 kit that will enable owners of certain newer car models to cruise through congestion without having to pay close attention to the vehicle in front.
It is easier to teach cars to drive themselves at 10mph than at faster speeds, Mr Hotz says. "The consequences of a mistake also aren't that high."
The 'soft side' of driving
Visitors to Mountain View, home to Google and its parent company Alphabet, could be forgiven for thinking that the driverless future is already here. Dozens of Google's pod-like car prototypes, with their rooftop sensors and smiley headlights, trundle around the Silicon Valley town every day. Each converts its thousands of hours of real-world driving experience into data from which the entire fleet can learn.
Google runs 3m miles of testing in simulation every day so its cars can prepare for any situation. There is even a special team that thinks up oddball incidents to throw at them.
Yet real life brings surprises no-one can anticipate. Last year, a Google car rounded a corner to find a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck with a broom in the middle of the road. "We'd never tested the car against a woman and a duck," Mr Urmson says, "and it was able to understand this was unusual, slow down, let that thing play out and then get on its way."
Google is sufficiently confident about its technology that its staff have discussed launching a fully autonomous taxi service in Mountain View as soon as next year, according to people familiar with the company's thinking. The service may initially be restricted to Google employees, which might get around any legal and regulatory issues. Google has already run some tests with employees who are trained drivers.
However, even on the sedate streets of Mountain View, Google's technology does not work flawlessly. On Valentine's Day this year, after more than 1m miles of autonomous driving, a Google car caused the project's first crash: a slow-motion collision with a city bus.
Google blamed it on the kind of misunderstanding that often happens between people. "This is a classic example of the negotiation that's a normal part of driving — we're all trying to predict each other's movements," it said.
The incident shows that Google's car not only needs to get better at anticipating how human drivers behave but also whether the computer itself drives in a way other road users find natural, rather than robotic. "Self-driving cars basically work today," says Chris Dixon, a partner at Andreessen Horowitz. "The challenge is cultural and regulatory."
Trickier than keeping in lane or a safe distance behind the car in front is the "softer side" of driving, says Mr Buczkowski. If an autonomous vehicle is programmed to give way to human drivers, it might never cross a four-way junction, where people could take advantage of its hesitation. "It's not the simple rules, it's the unwritten ones," he says.
Making sure autonomous cars drive naturally will also help passengers have confidence in the machines, says Mr Ristevski. "Speed, braking, acceleration — those little nuances are really important for making a consumer feel comfortable," he says. "Even if you tell people it's safe 99.999 per cent of the time, if it's not comfortable, it's not going to be palatable."
But this creates ethical and legal quandaries. If human drivers want to break the speed limit, should robot cars be able to do so? And when autonomous cars are involved in fatal crashes, as they inevitably will, who should be held responsible? Volvo says it will take on liability for its autonomous vehicles — because if it did not, consumers would never trust it enough to ride in one.
As regulators in California and beyond begin to grapple with these issues, autonomous cars must first win the trust of other drivers. No matter how irresponsibly people drive, "society is going to judge the robot as being at fault" in a crash, says Mr Dixon.
Urban planning: Cities urged to consider congestion factor
If Google, Ford or Uber succeed in bringing large numbers of fully autonomous vehicles on to the road, traditional notions of car ownership — and business models — would be transformed. But the economic impact could be just as substantial on the towns and cities that maintain roads.
Many advocates of driverless cars like to point to the opportunities for redeveloping car parks to make way for new housing or green space, or the reduction in accidents and congestion by having cars that can drive better.
However, Lauren Isaac, who spent a year studying the potential impact on city planning from autonomous cars for engineering consultancy WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff, believes that the effects may not be entirely benign.
"One of my biggest concerns with driverless cars is that the ability to both drive in the car and have it doing things for you when you're not in it has the potential to greatly increase the number of vehicle miles travelled," she says. "If we continue to privately own cars, I think that we risk having mass congestion on our roadways."
The cost of responding to incidents might fall but so too could income from sales tax, speeding tickets or public transport tickets. "Unless governments put policies in place to incentivise shared mobility, we risk really abusing the technology and having serious congestion," Ms Isaac says.
Yet very few local authorities have even begun to consider the fallout. Only 6 per cent of the largest US cities have factored driverless technology into their long-range planning, the National League of Cities said in a recent study.

Q: How can I copy a table of data from a PDF file into Excel? I have a table of data and I need to get it into Excel.  I found a few websites that suggested copy and paste into MS Word and then use the "Convert Text to Table" which unfortunately doesn't work as the columns come in with a space in between them but if I choose space as the column separator it breaks up columns that have multiple words in them into different columns.
Is there a better recommended way to get a table from a PDF file into Excel?

A: The whole thing is much simpler than mentioned in the other answer.
In Acrobat/Reader, choose the Text Selection tool, and bring your table into full view.
Now press the Ctrl/Option key and select the table. You will notice that the cursor changes. When the selection is complete, you can copy and paste into Excel.

A: I would like to suggest you VBA Code, this will Transpose the Copied Data Table from PDF to Excel.
Follow below written steps.

*

*Copy Table Data from PDF file.

*Paste in Excel sheet in a Column.

*Run the VBA code.

Check the Screen Shot.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim xLRow As Long
    Dim xNRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    Dim xUpdate As Boolean
    Dim xRg As Range
    Dim xOutRg As Range
    Dim xTxt As String

    On Error Resume Next

    xTxt = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address

    Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Select Data Range(only one column):", "Transpose to Excel", xTxt, , , , , 8)
    Set xRg = Application.Intersect(xRg, xRg.Worksheet.UsedRange)

    If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    If (xRg.Columns.Count > 1) Or _
       (xRg.Areas.Count > 1) Then
        MsgBox "Used range only contain one column", , "Transpose to Excel"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    Set xOutRg = Application.InputBox("Select output range(specify one cell):", "Transpose to Excel", xTxt, , , , , 8)

    If xOutRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

    Set xOutRg = xOutRg.Range(1)

    xUpdate = Application.ScreenUpdating
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    xLRow = xRg.Rows.Count

    For i = 1 To xLRow Step 3
        xRg.Cells(i).Resize(3).Copy
        xOutRg.Offset(xNRow, 0).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Transpose:=True
        xNRow = xNRow + 1
    Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = xUpdate

End Sub

NB: The Data I've used to TEST the code has 3 Column(RED Colour Value), so that with For Loop Step & Resize value is 3. You change according to your Data structure.
Hope this help you.

A: A bit late to the party, but for the benefit of anyone finding this via Google:
There are plenty of free web services you can use for this instead of struggling with copy pasting via Word etc. Picking the right service depends on your PDF and needs.
Is the entire file a table and you want to convert it all?
-> Try https://smallpdf.com/pdf-to-excel
Are there individual tables, e.g. on a page with lots of other text, you want to copy?
-> Try https://tabellopdf.com
Is your PDF a scanned file (i.e. it is actually an image saved as a PDF)?

Asylum seeker dies in Manus Is centre
By AAP – Tuesday 18 February, 2014
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison says one asylum seeker has died after break-outs and violence at the refugee detention centre in Papua New Guinea.
An asylum seeker has died after more violence and break-outs at the Manus Island detention centre.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison confirmed the death at a press conference on Tuesday morning.
"The news of a death is a great tragedy," Mr Morrison told reporters.
"Our sympathies are extended to the transferees – that person's family and friends who would have been in the facility as well.
"This is a tragedy but this was a very dangerous situation where people decide to protest in a very violent way and to take themselves outside the centre and place themselves at great risk."
Mr Morrison said 77 people had received treatment since early Tuesday morning, and 40 of them had been discharged from hospital.
Twenty-two had minor injuries and 13 had serious injuries.
One person had been evacuated to Australia for treatment for a skull fracture.
Another person who had been shot in the buttock was also due to be flown to Australia for treatment.
Mr Morrison said it was a "distressing situation".
But the government had taken steps in recent weeks to increase security at the facility, having learned from similar violent incidents at detention sites on Nauru.
"On this occasion, the centre has not been destroyed, the centre will be able to resume operations," he said.
The asylum seeker who died on the way to hospital had a head injury.
That death and most of the serious injuries happened outside the centre.
Mr Morrison said the suggestion that PNG police had entered the facility was incorrect and security contractor G4S would release a statement about that.
"There are all sorts of rumours that are put around in this environment," he said.
"We don't know what occurred outside the centre and that obviously will be the subject of an investigation into that person's death."
Mr Morrison said there had been a rolling series of protests, starting a few weeks ago, with largely peaceful demonstrations culminating in the violence of the last two nights.
"They will have frustrations about being in a centre they don't wish to be in because they wanted a very different outcome than being in either Manus Island or Nauru," he said.
"There will be those who will seek to take down our policies, to take down our processing centres, to try and destroy the regime we have put in place."
The minister said the government's resolve in sticking to its border protection policies was "absolute".
He said hundreds of asylum seekers died at sea before the Abbott government came into power.
"The government's resolve when it comes to our policies is very clear and that resolve won't break," he said.

Southern Utah is full of unique opportunities for exploration. Sure, there are plenty of popular trails and national parks that provide breathtaking, yet crowded adventures, but if you search around you'll find a couple of hidden gems. Little known Spring Creek Canyon near Cedar City, is a sensational spot for a family-friendly hike. You will see beautiful mountains, light brush, and a stunning slot canyon at the end. Do you want a closer look at the best sights and activities around Southern Utah? Then request our free Vacation Guide!
Spring Creek Canyon near Cedar City is a fantastic spot to experience Southern Utah's other-worldly landscapes without having to travel far from the Brian Head area. Make your way to Cedar City and head 20 minutes south on Highway 15 to Kanarraville, where you'll take a left on to an unnamed road. At the end of this dirt road is ample parking and the Spring Creek Canyon Trailhead. Time to start exploring! This 4.9 out-and-back hike begins in a canyon almost immediately, and you'll wind through a valley in between small mountains and light brush.
Once you reach the end of the first stretch, you'll encounter the reward. The slot canyon in Cedar City's Spring Creek Canyon is a mini version of The Narrows in Zion National Park. Follow the dry creek bed through these tight twists and turns until you can't travel any further. Then, you can turn around and trek the 2.5 miles back to your car!
If you're with family members of varying ages and abilities, the Spring Creek Canyon Trail near Cedar City is the perfect choice for an afternoon hike. The relatively flat ground of the path makes it accessible for everyone involved. One of the best parts about this trail is that it is still relatively unknown, allowing you and your family to enjoy a quiet trip through a unique landscape. Spring Creek Canyon borders Zion National Park to the south, and it's only a 45-minute drive away!
Unless you plan on visiting The Narrows in Zion, then bring your camera to snap a couple of shots of the slot canyon here. The corridor-like passageways through Spring Creek Canyon make for some unique photos to take back home with you! There are also a few good landscape shots you can take towards the beginning of the trail, especially in the fall when trees are in full bloom.
While Spring Creek Canyon near Cedar City is a short and easy hike, it's still important that you pack a few essentials for your trip.
After taking a hike in Spring Creek Canyon, return to your comfy and spacious Family Time Vacation Rentals property. We offer a large selection of homes and condos in Brian Head, Duck Creek Village, and other surrounding areas. Each of our cabins has a unique location that puts you less than an hour away from Zion National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Dixie National Forest, Bryce Canyon National Park, and several other world-class attractions! Whether you love to hike, fish, bike, or stargaze, you'll find your favorite outdoor activity here!
Ready to plan your Southern Utah vacation? Book your rental now and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime!


Where Was The National Outrage For The 7 States Who Allowed Late Term Abortion Before NY?
As a born-and-raised New Yorker, let me tell you that my heart breaks for my otherwise great state and the hellbound trajectory our totalitarian leftist-controlled government has us on. It seems our governor and many of his Democratic compatriots are intent on sharply restraining any impulse of God-given liberty that challenges state control except, of course, when it comes to the sacred cow of abortion, which is now essentially a legal free-for-all.
I have to ask, however, as I have seen headline after headline and comment after comment on social media about New York, where is the outrage for the seven states that already allow late-term abortion? Or, for that matter, the babies who are perfectly legal to murder up to 24 weeks under the previous law and in every other state in the union?
Don't get me wrong, anger at the shedding of innocent blood is righteous, but let's be consistent.
The seven states that have no gestational age limit for abortion are: Alaska, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C., and New York makes eight.
While children in the womb aren't protected at any stage of fetal development in those states, there are only five clinics in the whole country where a mother may go in for a late-term abortion. Two are in Colorado and Mexico and three are in California, Maryland, and Ohio which, along with the rest of country, allow for certain exceptions in which a mother may procure a late-term abortion for "babies with physical anomalies" or for "the health of the mother, which can include 'mental health,'" according to Operation Rescue.
In the United States, there are fewer than ten abortionists willing to take on the job of murdering a late-term baby (in a process that takes three to four days to complete) due to liabilities and risks to the mother's life.
So, in reality, New York is certainly not the first state to overwhelmingly deregulate abortion and, unless God stops the hands that sign such bills into law, it won't be the last.
Rhode Island legislators have also introduced two bills to make abortion legal up to birth, and the state's Democrat Gov. Gina Raimondo has already voiced her eagerness to sign such a bill as soon as it hits her desk.
In Virginia, Democrat delegate Kathy Tran and her governor, Ralph Northam, achieved instant notoriety touting their bill (which, praise God, has failed to move) which would have allowed for a child to be murdered "even at the very end of pregnancy when a woman was going into labor."
We must continue to pray for our elected officials but, saints, God has placed us in a nation built upon citizens' participation in government. We must not neglect such an incredible blessing nor abdicate such a weighty responsibility.
Truly, a defender of the unborn should be a defender of all the unborn, including those who can legally be murdered in your state in the 20-24 week range.
If your state allows for the murder of any unborn child at any age, let New York be a warning for you, not a distraction or a temporary target for your knee-jerk anger before you move on to the next thing in life.
If you would like to get involved in saving the unborn in your life, reach out to any of the amazing organizations out there, or simply start by finding out who your local legislator and state senator are and discussing the issue with them. Even the tiniest efforts can accumulate into an avalanche of lifesaving activism, something that can never be achieved with a "like" button or a social media comment.
Most importantly, if there is anyone God has placed in your life who may be "abortion-minded" or "abortion-vulnerable," that person needs your love, your support to choose life, and, most importantly, that person needs the gospel.

We all know that couple who swear by working out together. While many of us may cringe at the thought of sharing and swapping the barbell with our significant other- it turns out that there may well be some science behind the 'train together' phenomenon after all.
We teamed up with the Sports Science Agency in a bid to discover how training with a partner, as opposed to training alone, affects gym performance. We also wanted to delve deeper and see what - if any - affect this workout time spent together was having on relationships. And the results were clear.
Across almost every exercise type, couples performed better when their partner was by their side. This was due to both encouragement and competition- with us observing the powerful influence both had across a range of activities and apparatus.
What's more, when we conducted a survey of over 2000 couples, a clear majority said they believed their relationship had lasted longer as a direct result of hitting the gym together, with men particularly likely to say it had made the relationship stronger.
We selected three couples to take part in our investigation.
While carrying these exercises out, our participants received no encouragement whatsoever from the team. We then asked the couples to return a week later. They repeated the exact same process as before, except this time they worked through the experiment together. They could compete beside each other (plank), spot or provide vocal encouragement from the sidelines.
We recorded our measurements and compared them with the previous week to understand what effect working out as a couple had had on our participants.
In all but Tommy's plank, this couple improved in every measure when they trained together – compared with when they were apart. One particular standout was Clare's plank, for which she recorded an 83% increase when her partner was by her side to encourage her. This also had a clear and positive effect on her cycling – travelling 57% further across a set timeframe.
Tommy's gains were much more modest. Having his girlfriend with him to spur him on had little effect on the bench press, some effect when on the bike, and a decent effect on his leg press where his score was up 20%. This may well be down to the fact his partner set him an ambitious target before he started.
Impressively, this couple recorded better and higher scores on every test when they worked out together.
Heart rate data suggests the two of them worked much harder on the bike when they had their partner's encouragement, and it showed – with both managing to cover more distance over the 20-minute timeframe. Interestingly, Kim's rating of perceived exertion was lower even though she put more in – suggesting that her husband's presence may have served as a welcome distraction.
The most impressive increase for Craig was during the leg press, scoring 50% higher when he had his wife with him the second time around. She set him a goal, so this acted as a major form of encouragement. Meanwhile, Kim's plank saw a 60% improvement, probably the result of some healthy competition.
This couple kept up the emerging trend of better performance when working together. This wasn't universal though; Simon's bench press and Gill's cycle recorded slight decreases, but there were still clear and obvious gains to be noticed. As they're both avid cyclists, they recorded a similar distance on the bike across both the solo and shared sessions.
Where this couple were able to directly assist and vocally support each other, they recorded some hefty increases. Gill's bench press saw a 60% higher score the second time around, and Simon's leg press saw a 33% rise thanks to his girlfriend's encouragement. Competition was definitely on show when it came to the plank, spurring both on to beat their original scores.
In the clear majority of activities and exercises we studied, our three couples showed a tendency to perform better when they're by each other's side. Women in particular posted some really encouraging results – and a healthy mixture of support and competition spurred all of them to smash their goals.
Of course, there's more to hitting them gym together than pushing your personal records and performing well.
To find out exactly how working out together effects relationships, we surveyed over 2000 British adults asking what shared gym time really means to them. And the results were stark.
Our survey found that a sizeable 40% of couples exercise together at least once a week. Around six in every ten respondents said their relationship had lasted longer because they work out together. Men were slightly more likely to hold this view than women, but a majority of women expressed it nonetheless. An even more impressive 69% of people said training together had made their relationship stronger – with a whopping 74% of men agreeing.
When we delved a little deeper into what it is people seem to love about working out with a partner we got some telling answers. 48% of people said they felt better for hitting the gym with their significant other, compared with going it alone. 45% of women said it encouraged them to exercise for longer, and two in every five said it made them train harder. And it might just be sparking passion in other areas too; over a third of respondents said shared gym time made them more physically attracted to their partner.
So it seems the answer is clear. The numbers show that sharing your workouts with a partner will boost your performance; and leave you both feeling happier, closer and stronger a match as a result. Couples who train together stay together. So what are you waiting for?

Trump Sanctions Iran's Spiritual Leader and Top Officials

With tensions running high between the two countries, Trump signed an executive order imposing the sanctions, which U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said would lock billions of dollars more in Iranian assets.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he has sanctioned the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials, taking a dramatic, unprecedented step to increase pressure on Iran after Tehran's downing of an unmanned American drone.

Trump told reporters the sanctions were in part a response to last week's downing of a U.S. drone by Iran, but would have happened anyway. He said Khamenei was ultimately responsible for what Trump called "the hostile conduct of the regime" in the Middle East.
Trump said the sanctions "will deny the Supreme Leader and the Supreme Leader's office, and those closely affiliated with him and the office, access to key financial resources and support."
John Smith, who was director of the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) before joining a law firm last year, said the United States had never targeted an Iranian head of state before and that was a sign Trump was getting personal.
"Generally, when you target a head of state you're not turning back. That is when you believe all options are at an end," Smith told Reuters.
Some policy analysts say earlier sanctions issued under Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign are why Iran has felt compelled to adopt more aggressive tactics as its economy feels the crunch. The Trump administration wants to force Tehran to open talks on its nuclear and missile programs and its activities in the region.
Iran would not accept talks with the United States while it is under the threat of sanctions, Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, Majid Takht Ravanchi, told reporters at the U.N.
The U.S. decision is another indication it "has no respect for international law and order," he said.
The U.N. Security Council met behind closed doors on Monday at the request of the United States, whose acting ambassador Jonathan Cohen said evidence showed Iran was to blame for attacks on commercial tankers in the Gulf in May and June and urged the world to tell Tehran its actions were unacceptable.

The Promise—Keeping Hope Alive
Seeing refugees flee their war-torn countries such as in Syria, we realize this tragic displacement of peoples happens over and over again through history. Many flee, but many are massacred and destroyed simply for being who they are—their ethnic origin and/or their faith background. But, why in the case of the Armenian Genocide, did it take one hundred years before the story was told? Is it perhaps a case of politics crushing truth for its own expediency?
I vaguely heard about the Armenian genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1918. The Turks do not deny wiping Armenia from the map, but adamantly refuse to admit it was a wholesale genocide. Since Turkey is a NATO member, other nations also refrain from naming the historical tragedy as such. How can a people so wholly stripped of their land, dispersed around the world and crushed by superpowers heal from such a collective memory of elimination? They cannot unless the story is told, truth revealed, and blame accepted.
The film, The Promise, is just such a story. It centers on Michael Boghosian (Oscar Isaac), a young medical student in Constantinople, whose Armenian background places his life in peril as well as all those he loves. Before moving to the city he was betrothed to a young woman so that her dowry could be used to fund his studies. After he moves to the city he meets a lovely Armenian artist named, Ana (Charlotte le Bon) whose shared heritage leads them to develop a profound connection. She, however, is with an American photo-journalist, Chris Myers (Christian Bale) who loves her deeply and followed her from Paris to Constantinople. A romantic rivalry develops between the two men.
Turkey aligns itself with Germany and turns against its Armenian neighbors. As the uneasy situation quickly turns to horror Ana, Chris and Michael must struggle to simply survive. Even as their paths separate they realize that this story of annihilation of a people must be told, so they make a promise to live to tell the world the truth. And the truth is that all human beings deserve to live and prosper—the most basic human right.
Director Terry George (Hotel Rwanda, In The Name of the Father) felt keenly the need to make this film in order to memorialize the people who lost their lives in this genocide. It is, in many ways, a contemporary story, he says, that "humanizes the refugee as opposed to dehumanizes them." Showing the persecuted as human beings just like us attests to the power of the story of these refugees who seek a life of peace as a most basic human desire. We all want to live in peace. We all seek the opportunity to better our lives and our families'—something that no one has the right to oppress. Producer Eric Esrailian says that faith is the base of the Armenian drive to keep going, to move on from this tragic annihilation. They are a people of profound strength that comes only from a power beyond them. Being the oldest Christian country in the world, their faith in God allows them to overcome these atrocities, yet they are a people of incomplete mourning since these events have not been internationally recognized as genocide.
The power of art once again calls the world's attention to human tragedy if not only to remind us this should never happen again, but that hope survives regardless of how much evil tries to snuff it out of the human psyche. Film has the power to pique our collective conscience to fight against any racism, discrimination, persecution and oppression. Human beings are created to be free, as God, the Creator, gives us freedom to make choices about who we are and how we live. The greatest freedom that makes us authentically human is the gift of oneself in love. Selflessness is true freedom. Selfishness enslaves.
Michael and Ana both break promises to those they are attached to but then seek to make amends. In the end, the greatest promise is to not give up hope. The promise is for them to tell the world that every human being has a right to live, to love and to prosper.

New NIC treatment of termination payments
Newsletter issue - June 2019
The National Insurance Contributions Bill was introduced into Parliament on 25 April 2019. The Bill contains provisions designed to align the income tax and national insurance contributions (NICs) treatment of termination awards and sporting testimonials, closing a loophole which currently allows effective tax planning. If enacted, the new rules are expected to take effect from April 2020.
HMRC believe that 'the current misalignment incentivises well advised employers to disguise final payments as compensatory termination payments that benefit from a NICs exemption'. Consequently, the new provisions will affect businesses that structure termination payments to reduce the tax and NICs liability with effect from 6 April 2020.
Broadly, the Bill introduces a new 13.8% Class 1A Employer NICs charge to any part of a termination award or payment from a sporting testimonial, that is already income tax liable.
Any income derived from termination awards or sporting testimonials will remain free from employee NICs.
A termination award is a payment received in connection with the termination of a person's employment.
At Budget 2016, the government announced that it would reform the income tax and NIC treatment of termination awards. Currently, certain forms of termination awards are exempt from employee and employer NICs and the first £30,000 may be free from income tax.
The Bill will align the employer NIC treatment of termination awards in excess of £30,000, with the income tax treatment for such payments.
The provisions do not affect the:
employee NIC treatment of termination awards
NIC treatment of statutory redundancy pay and compensation
Termination awards will remain exempt from employee NICs. The £30,000 threshold ensures that:
no statutory redundancy pay on its own will be affected
compensation for injury suffered in the workplace will remain free from Income Tax and National Insurance contributions
The income tax changes were made in the Finance (No 2) Act 2017 and took effect from 6 April 2018.
Further information on these changes can be found on the GOV.uk website here.

Robert Irwin shares photo of himself feeding same crocodile as late father Steve Irwin
Robert Irwin continues to follow in his father's footsteps.
On July 4, the 15-year-old wildlife expert shared a touching tribute to his father, late zookeeper and Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin, with an Instagram photo of himself feeding the exact same crocodile his father once did, 15 years later.
In the side-by-side photo, Robert is the spitting image of his father as he bravely feeds a meal to an enormous reptile named Murray.
"Dad and me feeding Murray… same place, same croc — two photos 15 years apart," the Australia Zoo ambassador captioned the sweet photo.
Steve cuddles with his young children, daughter Bindi (back) and son Robert (front). (Instagram)
Robert's followers praised the photo and its touching message in the comments, including Dr. Chris Brown, who wrote: "So special. And so much style mate!"
Added The Wiggles' Anthony Field: "That is awesome!!!!!"

In 2006, Steve tragically passed away at age 44 after being stung by a stingray. On social media, Robert, his sister Bindi, now 20, and mum Terri, 54, regularly celebrate Steve's life and legacy.
In June, Robert shared a heartwarming note a flight attendant slipped him on US Father's Day, in which she wrote that she believed Steve would have been "proud" of him.

Calll to Hold National Christian Conference in Syria
Thursday August 14th, 2014 by All4Syria (Independent website)
Assyrian organization says Islamic State poses existential threat to Christians
Syrian Christian activists and parties have called for a general and comprehensive national conference to evaluate what has happened with the Assyrians and Christians in Iraq, the possibility of the same experianece being repeated in Syria, and options to save the Christians in the region, Italian AKI news agency reported.
The agency said that activists have called on all the Assyrian and Christian political, national, religious, economic and civil parties, organizations and institutions inside Syria and abroad to participate to study and evaluate what happened and its dangerous consequences on the Christian existence in the region.
The Kurdish parties and coordination committees responded positively to the call to hold a general and comprehensive Assyrian and Christian conference. The Assyrian Democratic Organization, the Coordination Committee of Assyrian Syriac Youth and other Syriac and Assyrian coordination committees, in addition to many Syrian Christian political activists, have responded positively to the call.
AKI said that the Assyrian Democratic Organization supported the call and stressed that the Islamic State in Iraq are committing "dangerous terrorist crimes against humanity".
The Organization believes the goal of the IS is to eliminate the existence of Christians in the Middle East, and asked all the Christian forces, parties and church institutions to hold a general national conference to plan how to "deal with this existential danger".
Some activists suggested holding the conference in Lebanon, while others preferred to hold it in a western European country.
Some other Syrian Christian politicians warned of the consequences of holding such a conference, and stressed that it will not be useful now and may perhaps "furthr increase extremism. Those politicians said that the best substitute for such a conference is to hold it under the "umbrella of citizenship and invite the political, social, religious, national, cultural and tribal activities".
Syrian Christians have expressed their "deep resentment" towards what is being committed against their brothers in Mosul by the fighters of IS last month. Syrian Christians asked for a "safe shelter under international protection" inside Iraq in Ninawa plain.

Boarding Schools: Housing International Students Over Holiday Breaks
Melanie Bennett, Esq.
How to manage supervisory responsibilities for international students during holiday breaks
Your boarding school's duty to supervise its international students doesn't end over holiday breaks. Due to time and expense constraints, international students often have difficulty returning home.
With proper planning and good communication, your boarding school can meet its supervisory responsibilities and offer engaging activities for those students.
Identify and Meet Supervisory Needs
Before the school year or during orientation, survey your international students and their parents to determine their needs for student supervision during school breaks. Follow up with families during the year to confirm plans.
Some schools may need programming or supervisory options for every break including summer vacation, while others only may need options for shorter holidays. Needs may vary based on the size of the school's international population and the students' distance from their countries.
Consider providing these options for international students during breaks:
Small, intensive courses
Some residence halls with limited staff
A host family program
Sponsored trips
Partnering with another school or organization to provide options
Manage Risks of School Partnerships
Do this when partnering with schools or other organizations:
Conduct thorough research. Examine the organization's practices for safety, daytime and evening supervision, residence halls, and food services. Investigate these practices online and by speaking with schools that have used the organization's services.
Ensure the contract with the organization has a well-written indemnity provision. The provision should specify how the parties will allocate responsibility for any claims or losses.
Make sure the hosting organization has adequate insurance. The insurance should cover liability, accident, auto, property, and other risks. For guidance, see UE's Improving Contracting on Campus: Allocating Risks Between Parties.
Ensure that the organization conducts adequate screening and background checks. It should screen employees, contractors, and volunteers with access to students.
Set Clear Expectations About Campus Support
Do this for students at school during breaks:
Review all communications to international students and their families, such as housing contracts and promotional materials. Ensure written and verbal communications are accurate and don't include broad guarantees of supervision or safety.
Contact international students regularly. Two or three months before the start of the fall term, during orientation, and throughout the year provide them with information about opportunities available over breaks.
Consider providing a 24-hour phone number where students can reach a staff member in case of emergency.
Conduct evaluations to get student and parent feedback on school programs and other options provided. Use the results to guide adjustments for the following year.

I decided to use my nail art polishes for this manicure. I am a little out of practice in using them so my lines are a little wonky and I had to add a little thinner to it because it started to thicken. However, this is what I came up with. I may try to perfect once it chips.
I used my FAVOURITE cream purple, a nameless bright bluish purple from Hot Topic and painted the lines with Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black. I added a coat of Seche Vite on top, then taped and painted the tips black with Sinful Colors in Black on Black. Finished it with another coat of Seche Vite. Voila mes amis!

Swiss propose boosting minimum internet speed
Swiss propose boosting minimum internet speed by a factor of eight the minimum internet speeds that providers of basic service need to ensure.
ZURICH - The Swiss government proposed on Friday increasing by a factor of eight the minimum internet speeds that providers of basic service need to ensure.
At present Swisscom has the concession to provide basic service, which runs until the end of next year.
The government noted that increased working from home and homeschooling during the coronavirus pandemic had made clear how important reliable and powerful broadband services are for all sections of the population in all regions.
From 2024, an internet connection with a download speed of 80 Mbit/s and upload speed of 8 Mbit/s will replace the current standard of 10 and 1 Mbit/s, it suggested when putting the proposal out for public comment which runs until March.
Swisscom has been battling regulators in court over which standards it needs to use in rolling out fibre-optic broadband service.

La Couronne boréale est une petite constellation de l'hémisphère nord. Elle est effectivement formée d'étoiles disposées en un arc-de-cercle, l'étoile centrale, α Coronae Borealis (Alphecca), étant la plus brillante et formant le diadème. Elle est le pendant septentrional de la Couronne australe.

Histoire
Cette constellation était déjà connue d'Hipparque.  En effet, des études d'un palimpseste du Codex Climaci Rescriptus ont retrouvé un fragment du catalogue d'étoiles d'Hipparque, où cette constellation est décrite. Elle fut plus tard répertoriée par Ptolémée dans son Almageste. Elle représenterait la couronne offerte à Ariane lors de son mariage avec Dionysos.

Observation des étoiles

La constellation est faible, mais ramassée, et donne un spectacle plaisant quand les conditions d'observation sont bonnes.

La couronne boréale se repère assez facilement (quand elle est visible) entre α Lyrae (Véga) et α Bootis (Arcturus), et dans le prolongement du « manche de la casserole » que forme la partie gauche de la Grande Ourse.

Sa forme en couronne est assez nette, contrairement à celle de son homologue austral.

Étoiles principales

α Coronae Borealis (Alphecca)
L'étoile la plus brillante de la Couronne boréale est α Coronae Borealis (Alphecca) dont le nom dérive de l'arabe cassé et qui est également connue par son nom latin Gemma, la gemme. Alphecca est une étoile blanche de la séquence principale et en réalité une étoile binaire ; son compagnon est une étoile similaire au Soleil et l'éclipse légèrement tous les 17,4 jours. Elle est aussi appelée Margarita ou la perle.

Autres étoiles
β Coronae Borealis (Nusakan) est la deuxième plus brillante étoile, de magnitude 3,68. Il s'agit d'une étoile binaire et la principale est une étoile naine étrangement riche en terres rares et dépourvue d'oxygène.

θ CrB, au bout d'une des pointes de la couronne, est une étoile environ trois fois plus grande que le Soleil, dont la rotation à l'équateur est égale à 393 km/s, soit 200 fois celle de ce dernier. Cette vitesse est encore inexpliquée.

T CrB est une nova récurrente. D'ordinaire, elle a une magnitude d'environ 10, mais par deux fois elle est devenue suffisamment brillante pour être visible à l'œil nu : en 1866, elle atteignit la deuxième magnitude et en 1946, la troisième.

Anatole France, dans Le Jardin d'Épicure (1894)  parle de cette observation, mais sans en connaître la cause :

R CrB est une étoile de sixième magnitude dont la luminosité peut descendre jusqu'à la  en l'espace de quelques semaines, de façon aléatoire, avant de remonter à la normale en quelques mois. On pense que des particules de carbone s'accumulent dans les couches externes de l'étoile avant d'être éjectées de façon chaotique par ses radiations.

γ CrB et η CrB sont deux étoiles doubles. Le premier couple effectue une révolution en 101 ans, le deuxième en 42 ans.

Objets célestes
La constellation de la Couronne boréale est très petite et ne contient pas d'objet particulier.

Disk jockeying known as "DJ" is an art, and over the years this art has undergone tremendous evolution. The highest paid DJ earns at least 250,000 dollars for performing a night's work; such is the magnitude of change that swept the DJ industry. Like in most things in life dedication and discipline remains paramount for one to reach the top echelons of the disk jockey business. The majority of leading DJs started from very humble beginnings and through sheer hard work make more in a night than most of us make in a year. Currently, the music scene is littered with DJs for all kinds of music and genres; drum, house and techno DJs just to name a few, but only a select amount can lay claim to the title of the best DJ. Below is a list of the leading DJs in todays music scene. Popularity and earning power played a huge role in consideration to appear on this list.
Calvin's broke into the music scene back in 2007 and has been nothing short of a revelation. Perhaps Scotland's most significant export after whiskey, Calvin has dominated both dance and pop music genres. Calvin's strength lies in the exceptional singing talent that saw him take the UK music scene by storm after the release of his first album I Created Studio. The album featured two hit singles, "The Girls" and "Acceptable" in the 80's" that made it into the top 10 in the UK charts. Calvin, a Grammy award winning artist, topped the list of the highest-earning DJs for three consecutive years between 2013 and 2015 according to Forbes. He is well known all over the world for his unique sound.
Often cited as the King of the Grammys, Skrillex, an electronic dance music DJ, musician, singer, and DJ, holds the record for most Grammy wins; nine in total. Being an Electronic Dance Artist, he holds the record of most Grammy awards, a total of nine. Skrillex bust into the scene by distributing free EP's and saw his efforts rewarded as he went on to work for some of the most successful musicians in recent times. Among the personalities Skrillex has worked with include; Justin Bieber for his hits "Sorry" and "Where Are U Now," Rick Ross's in "Purple Lamborghini" and The Game's "El Chapo" just to name a few.
Being on the scene for three decades may take a toll on most people but not Tiesto. This record producer/DJ has taken consistency and hard work to a whole new level. Tiesto's style comprises a blend of old trances and pop that thrills the sprouting generation of fans. Tiesto earned a mouthwatering $22m and $39m in 2014 and 2016 respectively according to Forbes. Tiesto was accorded the key to Las Vegas city and the day was dubbed "Tiesto Day" in Nevada. In 2015, Tiesto was accorded a Grammy in the category of Best Remixed Recording for the remix of "All of Me" by John Legend.
