This week California received national attention due to the fact that the state is simultaneously forcing an increase electric car use, but also feels the need to limit the charging of electric cars to limit black outs. This conundrum shows how important load management is to the future of emissions.
California enacted a law that would aim to ban the selling of new cars that use gas by 2035. California wants to do this to limit emissions to improve their environment and the world's environment overall. On its own, this plan is too ambitious and overreaching for some. But what seemed to strike a nerve was that California's government's recommendation that people avoid charging their cars during peak hours for the grid.
Some consider this recommendation as a sign of things to come in terms of the government limiting all sorts of use of vehicles. It is difficult to predict when a car will need energy, as errands and other issues can come up that require driving around. But for now, if someone wants to curb emissions from vehicles, electric cars are the main game in town. But for now, electric cars use a lot of energy, so more of them will put a lot of stress on the grid, especially with states like California, where the grid is already pushed to brink.
It seems that California's government was attempting load management by bringing electric car use into the equation, especially as their use increases. It is possible that states may need to engage in these measures for electric cars, and if they do, then they need to decide whether increasing electric car use is the right answer. In a world where limitations on electric car use do become part of the answer, state governments should still try to come up with other solutions before recommending limitations on cars.
Many energy experts have highlighted the promise of technological advances, such as smart grids. State governments should jump on tech like this. States should also look into other services that are not as important as driving that could face limitations and disrupt people's lives less. Whatever ultimate solution exists in terms of load management, so long as consumers are using electricity in new ways, governments will need to utilize load management to offset this increased use, especially when the increased use serves a goal such as increased emissions.

I think the issues demonstrate the utter stupidity of the elitists governing California while providing yet another really good reason to drop kick democratic politicians out of office.
The whole debacle is based on a religious belief that man is causing the planet to warm and man can control the climate. Utter nonsense.
Let's step back and look at the big picture. The total amount of the sun's energy affecting the earth is staggering. The trace gas CO2 affects an exceptionally very minor segment of that energy spectrum. That affect is not present at night, nor does it affect the polar regions. Winter impacts are quite limited. Roll this all up and the energy involving C02 is an extremely minor fraction of the total energy.
Let's now take a look at how the suns energy is distributed around the planet. The amount incoming energy reaching the planet's surface is affected by complex mechanisms. Further, highly complex mechanisms transfer energy from the warm equatorial regions towards the polar regions. Basically, involves the flow of energy in the oceans and atmosphere towards the poles. The sun and these extraordinarily complicated mechanisms obviously control the climate. We do not adequately understand these fundamental mechanisms. That means mathematical models attempting to predict the planet's distant climate future are inherently more or less just wild guesses.
The green energy religion claims that an the extremely minor energy segment involving CO2 controls the climate but are utterly unable to prove the assertion. How convenient. We are suppose to believe their dogma as an act of faith.
Energy policy should be based on providing reasonably clean and reasonably affordable energy. Period. The required energy resources vary, depending on where you live, but in all cases a balanced approach is the wisest policy. The policy concocted by California is stunningly dumb.

I met up with Daniel and Cindy to shoot this Beautiful Delta Park Engagement session with their two gorgeous dogs. The weather was absolutely perfect and the light was amazing. Daniel and Cindy were ready to give me some amazing shots during this Beautiful Delta Park Engagement session. I loved photographing Daniel and Cindy. They were natural and they love being in each others company. That goes a long way in helping capture some incredible moments. I was able to capture some really amazing moments between the two of them. My aim is to keep the engagement shoots as natural as possible. I allow my couples to have as much time as possible to interact and to be themselves, that helps them to relax and it gives the most amazing shots too. I see engagement sessions as an important part of my business. It affords couples the experience of how I work and it helps me to know what they are comfortable with. I then know how I can approach their photos on the wedding day.
I love it when people include their pets in their shoots, they form such an important part of our lives and it seems quite natural to include them in some of your most important memories.
I love the "feel" of this image, it is warm, romantic and classic. Daniel and Cindy are great in front of the camera.
I shot this entire Beautiful Delta Park Engagement session with Daniel and Cindy using my Nikon 85mm lens. It is a dream lens and definitely my favorite to shoot with, it absorbs light beautifully and it creates the most beautiful soft background. I will be blogging Daniel and Cindy's breathtaking Free State wedding very soon, so please remember to check back.

Q: trying to redirect when a marker is clicked using gmaps4rails I'm having a issue using gmaps4rails, when I click on a marker nothing happens even though according to previous questions I've seen this should work.
controller
@json = User.all.to_gmaps4rails do |object|
    "\"link\": \"http://localhost:3000/users\""
end

and view
<%= gmaps4rails(@json) %>
<% content_for :scripts do %>
<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect_to(url) {
  window.location = url;
};
Gmaps4Rails.callback = function() {
  function say_yo(arg) { return function(){alert('yo '+ arg + '!' );};};
    for (var i = 0; i <  Gmaps4Rails.markers.length; ++i) {
      google.maps.event.addListener(Gmaps4Rails.markers[i].google_object, 'click', redirect_to(Gmaps4Rails.markers[i].link));
    }
}
</script>

Another issue is if in the for loop if google is the standard variable you are supposed to use or am I missing something as I've never seen or written a call to create a google variable I believe.
Addon: I know this is obtrusive javascript which is bad but I've never found a tutorial I could understand for unobtrusive javascript that worked so planning on making it unobtrusive sometime in the future.
Thanks

A: my question is outdated now, the previous answer I found was from a older version that still needed to use javascript apparently, now to create an infobox you just need to look at the controller section of the wiki, and there are various features with markers as well.  It all works nicely and I haven't found a need to use javascript yet which is great.

If you are one of the dwindling few that still get healthcare benefits as part of your jobs compensation package, consider yourself lucky. But with so many jobs that offer benefits changing them or cutting back on medical benefits, even if you have access to heath insurance at work, you may not be getting the most out of them The Department of Labor Benefits Security Administration suggests several ways to make sure you are getting the most out of you employer paid health benefits.
The purpose of the EBSA is to oversee employer based health benefits, and to create laws that recognize your rights as an employee receiving such health benefits. As such the agency says that most consumers are not even aware of the protections the agency has fought to obtain for them when it comes to health insurance provided by employers. Even though your employer is giving you access to the health benefits, or paying for them entirely, you as the employee receiving the benefits have rights and options. The Agency encourages all employees to know and exercise these rights, to make sure they are getting the most they can out of employer provided health benefits.
Know that you have options and the right to explore them. Many times an employer offers different group affordable health plans or different types of policies within the same plan. Take the time to look at and fully understand your options and select the plan that is right for you and your family. Do not just accept a plan that is selected for you by your employer, especially if you have to pay for part of the benefit. Remember to look at all of the details of a plan, "cheaper" does not always mean it is the best buy for you. Be aware of deductibles, copays and other out of pocket expenses, and fit the plan to the needs of your true budget. Check to see if a given healthcare plan offers compensation for wellness or fitness programs.
The EBSA reminds consumers to also check for quality of the participating hospitals and healthcare providers in a healthcare plan, not all hospitals and doctors offer equal quality of care. You can find out more about how to examine the quality of care by going to the website of the US Department of Health and Human Services and downloading their brochure, Your Guide to Choosing Quality HealthCare.
And finally the EBSA recommends that you obtain a copy of your health plan's Summary Plan Description, from your employer's benefits administrator. You have a right to a copy of this document and it contains a wealth if information about your policy and your rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the federal law that protects your health insurance benefits.

'Return To Jurassic Park' Puts the Original Island In Your Control
Julian Benson in Technology
Last updated 10:33 AM, Wednesday November 27 2019 GMT
The new expansion for Jurassic World Evolution, Return to Jurassic Park, is a right squeeze of the nostalgia glands. Set after the disastrous events of the original film, you are returning to Isla Nublar to take back control of the park from the dinosaurs. This time, learning from the mistakes of the first attempt, John Hammond wants to make the perfect park where no one dies. (Well, maybe a few people.)
You're joined by Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, who reprise their roles as Dr Alan Grant, Dr Ellie Sattler and Dr Ian Malcolm - but this time they act as advisers rather than actually getting down on the ground proper. And it's not just the old cast that's coming back, as the whole game has been given a coat of 1993 paint.
Jurassic World Evolution was set alongside the new films, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, so the park itself had a much more modern styling. You sent tourists around your park on monorails and all your buildings were made of glass and steel. The aesthetic of the 1993 film is much more like a theme park, with big palm fronds, braziers, and bold colours. In Return to Jurassic Park, all of the game's buildings have been redesigned to match that 1993 look.
The dinosaurs, too, have been backdated - which is odd, considering they're all millions of years old anyway. The velociraptor, T-rex and triceratops are now more in line with how they appeared in the 1993 movie.
If you've been playing a lot of Jurassic World Evolution and your love for the films goes all the way back to the original, this is a great-looking expansion, stuffed with nods and nostalgia to pique your interest.
However, if you were hoping for an overhaul of park operations, you won't find much for you in this expansion. When I reviewed Jurassic World Evolution - when I worked at PCGamesN - I enjoyed the game but found it to be an uneven management sim. Building areas for the dinos and finding the right balance of different species to create a diverse enclosure without them all eating each other was engrossing, but the tools for satisfying your park guests were pretty flimsy. Besides placing restaurants and shops (and keeping them from being eaten) there wasn't much to it. The only real addition to guest management in Return to Jurassic Park is that you can now place toilets.
And, unfortunately, you won't be seeing the bathrooms torn apart by T-rexes.
Also, don't read this as me knocking toilets. I was genuinely excited to learn that Planet Coaster was getting benches for guests to sit on when that was announced. Anything that lets you give life to your park is a good step; it would just be nice to see even more.
Almost in range...
I played a couple of early missions in the expansion and got to see the old-style buildings and dinos in action. While it gave me a subtle thrill to see all the nods to the old films, I was distracted by some frustrating bits of game design.
One objective I had was chasing down three velociraptors that were loose in my park and eating guests. Rather than send the AI off to deal with the dinos, I tried going after them myself, taking control of a 4x4 and driving out into the park with a tranquiliser rifle. I'd have to get pretty close to the dinos because the drop off on the rifle is so high, making any shot from a distance a challenge. You can't drive and shoot at the same time, so I'd stop the car to switch to the rifle, then watch as my ranger reloaded the rifle, and... the dinosaur had run away. The time to stop the jeep, switch to your rifle, and load the gun was just too long to ever make dropping a dinosaur yourself viable. It took me ten minutes to take out one of the three, so at that point I gave up and got the AI to take care of it.
The raptors have their 1993 look back
That had its own challenges, because the only way to find the velociraptors was to switch to the map view. So you'd open the map, locate the escaped dino, go back to the in-game view, move the camera, try to spot a green dinosaur in a green forest at night, and send the AI after it. Then there was working out where to put the things once I'd caught them - there was no marker on the HUD and... Look, if this all sounds tedious, it's because it was. It's not a major game-breaking issue, and this was a preview build. But with Return to Jurassic Park releasing on December 10, it may well still be an issue at launch and these are issues here that do distract from what should be a joyous game.
It's great to see Jurassic World Evolution not be limited to the most modern spins on the series, and this expansion is no small addition to the base game. But I'm going to need to play more of it to see if it's anything more than an old coat of paint.

Evidence of Possible Human Trafficking Reportedly Found…at Saudi Diplomatic Compound
A full investigation is underway.
A compound in McLean, Va. is now the focus of a possible human trafficking ring -- a Saudi diplomatic compound.
Federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided a compound on the 6000 block of Orris Street in McLean that is said to be home of a "Saudi military attaché," WUSA-TV reports.
The station also reports that federal agents rescued two women from the Philippines in the raid. A "source close to the investigation" told WUSA-TV that both women speak English and they were in the U.S. legally with passports.
Federal officials were tight-lipped about the case and would only confirm that they are looking into the instance as a possible human trafficking case.
"It's unclear who alerted the authorities to these woman, but they are said to be safe in their care," the station adds.
However, no charges have been filed and investigators are still trying to figure out who, if anyone, was holding these women and why. Even if investigators find someone is responsible for human trafficking, they might be eligible for diplomatic immunity because the alleged crimes occurred on sovereign soil.

These reference applications serve as a test framework that you can parameterize with your own vehicle data. You can further customize the subsystems using blocks from the Vehicle Dynamics Blockset or Powertrain Blockset™ libraries, or from your own Simulink and Simscape™ libraries. The reference applications come with a Simulink Projects configuration to promote best practices for your development team. Simulink Projects enables management and version control for top-level model files, component model files, and scripts.
Model a powertrain system with Powertrain Blockset.
The double lane change reference application.
Simulating vehicle dynamics in a 3D environment helps you visualize and understand the vehicle's dynamic response. You can also use the 3D environment to define a photorealistic virtual world in which to drive the vehicle. Vehicle Dynamics Blockset comes with several prebuilt scenes created with the Unreal Engine®, a game engine developed by Epic Games®. Additional scenes are available via the Vehicle Dynamics Blockset interface for Unreal Engine 4 support package. The support package also provides project files you can use in the Unreal Engine editors to customize scenes for your own needs.
One of the vehicle types available in Vehicle Dynamics Blockset.
To characterize a vehicle's ride and handling performance, you can simulate standard driving maneuvers with the reference applications in Vehicle Dynamics Blockset, including maneuvers such as a double lane change, swept sine, or slowly increasing steer. By customizing the prebuilt models, you can also create your own driving maneuvers. Evaluate how your vehicle meets design requirements by simulating understeer or oversteer behavior, lateral acceleration limits, and many other dynamic responses. You can further analyze the vehicle using MATLAB® and Simulink to perform design studies and optimize the system.
Simulating a double lane change maneuver.
Designing and testing chassis control systems often requires a detailed vehicle dynamics model that captures key effects such as suspension stiffness, body pitch and roll, and lateral and longitudinal tire slip. The reference applications available with Vehicle Dynamics Blockset include these effects, and enable you to select different model variants based on the complexity required for your analysis. The reference applications provide a closed-loop testing framework in which you can incorporate your own ABS controller, yaw stability controller, or other chassis control feature. The same models can be used throughout the development process, from controls development to software integration testing and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
Comparing stopping distance from two braking tests.
Testing for advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) control features often begins with a simple bicycle model for describing the vehicle. For testing features such as automated emergency braking or obstacle avoidance, however, a bicycle model is insufficient because tire slip and other effects become crucial. The vehicle dynamics models available in Vehicle Dynamics Blockset give you the higher fidelity you need for testing such automated driving features.
You can also use the 3D environment provided with the reference applications to develop your own virtual test ground for ADAS and automated driving features. For example, the vehicle models come with a virtual camera that sends images back to Simulink during the simulation. In this way, you can analyze the signals in Simulink to test your lane detection algorithm. Customizing the scenes in the Unreal Engine editors gives you additional flexibility to create and simulate scenarios that fully exercise your ADAS and automated driving features.
Design, simulate, and test ADAS and autonomous driving systems.

Mark Bradford. Lights and Tunnels, 2015 (photograph © 2015 Joshua White; provided by Hauser & Wirth)
Mark Bradford's solo exhibition, Scorched Earth, curated by Connie Butler at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, included twelve paintings, a mural, and a sound installation. Scorched Earth was tough and admirably far-reaching. Exquisitely detailed, the paintings evoked pain and violence. They looked inward and back, and they were surprisingly aqueous. Three haunting, untitled, twelve-foot-by-twelve-foot, black-and-white, unstretched canvases in a low-lit section of a gallery at the Hammer suggested dusky rivers and abrupt stops where Bradford accumulated, stained, and resisted staining by laying on and pulling away wet paper.
One of Bradford's signature text paintings seemed like a non-sequitur, but it set a locale. The bright and blocky text painting in English and Spanish urged: "Rebuild South Central Without Liquor Stores!!" As much a slogan as a signifier for the current U.S. urban environment in general, this work by itself was neither clarion nor fully contextualized, yet still flagged South Central Los Angeles as a top layer of ground for the otherwise mostly abstract and hard-to-pin-down investigations included in the exhibition. Reaching into Bradford's biography, Butler asked viewers to see his investigations as existing at the intersection of queer experience and black experience in Los Angeles.
Bradford tests and re-tests surfaces. He searches and buries. As a painter, he inters his own strokes and traces, then exposes some of what he first perhaps hid or obscured. He might partially erase a recent concealment then jewel over part of a reveal. He finds something he not-so-long-ago lost and subsequently conceals or protects some of that find. The best of Bradford's paintings seem to hover in various stages, from violence to a more elevated state. They hold painful remembrances. They grieve. They seem to be about something—to map something, even—but it is often unclear exactly what.
In Dead Hummingbird (2015), a bird's carcass—enlarged, scabbed, cloaked in matte black—appears to be stuck in a net, surrounded by balled-up black-paper pocks and creeping flames. Bradford built this painting by scraping, sanding, cutting, layering, and removing paper and paint. On the top right-hand side of the painting the flames seem to give way to a brighter but still-agitated sky. Yet the persistent net entraps the bird's remains. Is the fire a Los Angeles fire—one of the fires lit in 1992 in Los Angeles following the acquittal of the police officers who brutalized Rodney King? Maybe. Maybe not.
Lights and Tunnels (2015) suggests an aerial view of a crowded space, a fly-over capture of a flooding city perhaps, or the record of a battle. Black, white, red, and light blue aggressively crisscross milky surfaces punctuated by yellow bruises and blasts of neon pink. Drudged trenches and cutaway paths in the surface of the painting are like thoroughfares for more pocks that seem to drive toward its center like tactical columns of troops. The Next Hot Line (2015) is more weathered and stark, suggesting architectural remains, bones, branches, or a tossing ship's masts and hull. It is chalky white, icy blue, and carrion red. Are these paintings stand-ins for bodies, records of internal battles? Are they records of the activity of police and firemen?
To make the three paintings Sample 1, Sample 2, and Sample 3 (all 2015), it seems Bradford looked at slides showing disease. These smaller paintings use many of the formal elements that proliferate in Bradford's other paintings at the Hammer, but in the Sample paintings this vocabulary came off hissing rather than scalding. The lines felt like spindly and brittle old Ferris wheel spokes, the ground like nullifying snow. It is as if the disease evoked in these incarnations is confident in its ability. It need not fight; it knows innately it can take over easily, quietly, and with intimate relentlessness. The outrage and inequalities that tend to accompany disease are human. To convulse, to scream, to refuse to care are terrible and human. Disease itself is less animated. It envelops; it comes incisive, cruel, and unreservedly confident.
Probably referring to the Sample paintings back in his Los Angeles studio, Bradford told Calvin Tomkins of The New Yorker: "They're all based on AIDS cells under a microscope. I don't want to say the show is about AIDS, but it's about the body, and about my relationship to the nineteen-eighties, when all that stuff hit. It's my using a particular moment and abstracting it" (Calvin Tomkins, "What Else Can Art Do?" The New Yorker, June 22, 2015).
Scorched Earth evoked the trauma of the AIDS epidemic as well as the information—and disinformation—concerning the disease. In the lobby of the museum, Bradford and his assistants drew a map of the United States by sanding off the white wall paint to find layers of color underneath. The sanded striations of color became state boundaries and numbers corresponding to the number of people living with AIDS in each state in 2009 per 100,000. For non-mathematical minds, and without supporting information, it is difficult to fathom how these cold statistics relate to bodies in crisis: 13.5 in Texas, 17.5 in Georgia, 29.2 in New York, 2.4 in Wyoming, 12.5 in California. Perhaps that is the point. Much of the public record about HIV/AIDS is obfuscated, homophobic, repressive, and motivated by fear.
In Douglas Crimp's 1987 essay "How to Have Promiscuity in an Epidemic," originally printed in October (43 [Winter 1987]: 237–71) and reprinted in the catalogue for Scorched Earth, Crimp rebukes "all those who would rather see gay men die than allow homosexuality to invade their consciousness" (exhibition catalogue, 76), for instance, the infamous, conservative North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms who denigrated educational cartoons that depicted gay men using condoms and declared erroneously: "Every AIDS case can be traced back to a homosexual act." Crimp states his own political position: "Anything said or done about AIDS that does not give precedence to the knowledge, the needs, and the demands of people living with AIDS must be condemned" (73).
Add comedians to this mix, and it isn't long before black mega-star Eddie Murphy comes to mind. In a conversation in the catalogue for Scorched Earth, Bradford says: "I was mad at everybody in 1980. When Eddie Murphy got up there and started talking about faggots, and everybody in the auditorium laughed. Just rage; it was rage" (181). Later in the same conversation, Bradford describes the methodology he used to create the sound installation, Spiderman (2015), sited across the courtyard from his paintings at the Hammer: "I reconstructed the whole Eddie Murphy environment and the Delirious costuming, and I embodied it. I just made him trans, so, he's actually a trans man. It allows me a space to comment and to critique and to enter that mainstream relationship to gender, sexuality, and race. So, it is like the artist going back into the mainstream and body snatching" (183).
Bradford gives voice to a fictional stand-up comedian, Spiderman. Spiderman is not gentle or sensitive. He's surrounded by ignorance; he's misinformed. He riffs for the audience about a friend who inserted birth control up his ass to try to protect himself from the disease. He says he warned his own young nephews about HIV/AIDS, declaring: "There's some new shit on the horizon, it's gonna make your dick fall off." In its own way, though, Spiderman's comedy is profound. His rough humor doesn't cover his fear or his own vulnerability. As characterized by Bradford, Spiderman is not delirious, he's petrified. Spiderman, as a sound installation, does not seem to be the presentation of a political position exactly, but an evocation of a vastly uncomfortable space.
Scorched Earth offered a long view that was puzzling, troubling, and passionate. It considered hostility, disease, and ignorance, determining that the earth is indeed scorched. It is ravaged and moribund.

Agent Tom Brindle (Hutton) is called to Barcelona, Spain to track down the notorious serial killer known as Pygmalion, who kills his victims then positions them in macabre displays. His team uses DNA to track down and arrest Marco Soler, a young volatile soldier, only to find that Marco has an air-tight alibi.
While investigating, he finds that Marco has a monozygotic twin with identical DNA only a decade apart in age. With the help of the clinical psychologist Elena, they decide to build a psychological and physiological profile of the serial killer using his twin brother, Marco. Agent Brindle is closing in on the killer but the killer is also closing in on him. The hunter becomes the hunted as Pygmalion also discovers that he has a twin brother and begins to stalk the investigative team.
For Agent Tom Brindle, the only way to finally catch the killer is to risk everything, and everyone, he holds dear.

Also available in: Paperback, eBook (EPUB)
A Full Cone is Miles Champion's second Carcanet volume. It features a substantial body of new work as well as a selection of earlier writing hitherto unavailable in the UK.
'It has often been noted that the pace at which Miles Champion's brilliantly intelligent poems unfold is rapid. Ideas and images tumble into words and the words become present as moments of conceptual or emotional consequence. But, though high velocity is in the making of the poems, there is no swift taking away. The moments aren't rescinded; the poems are not a demonstration of lyric evanescence. Champion's work, rather, is about phenomenological consequence, and consequence lingers, lasts. This is a collection of monumental significance—and the work is gorgeous.'
—Lyn Hejinian
Miles Champion was born in Nottingham in 1968. He edited Tom Raworth's As When (Carcanet, 2015) and Ted Greenwald's The Age of Reasons (Wesleyan University Press, 2016), and, with Trevor Winkfield, co-authored How I Became a Painter (Pressed Wafer, 2014). He lives in Brooklyn, New York. ... read more
'The pleasure is that each poem is a different kind of challenge . . . the invention is spectacular and always 'up'.'
Larry Price
'By turns playful, insightful, erudite and essential, this is a poetry for the fluctuating times that we live in... Brilliant stuff. A Full Cone is one of my books of the year.'
Andrew Taylor, Stride
'Witness the cascades of words and listen to the silence between lines. The interstitial quietus common to Champion's many concrete excursions acts to vivify the text which it divides, so that the outrageous concatenation of everyday cultural artefacts is rendered explosive.'
Steve Whitaker, The Yorkshire Times

HORNELL — The Hornell Lady Red Raiders used a late third quarter run and a dominating defensive performance in order to pick up a 68-48 LCAA win over Wayland-Cohocton Tuesday evening in Hornell.
Both teams came right out from the tip and had the offenses grooving. Wayland-Cohocton took an early lead thanks largely to the inside presence of Delaney Brehm.
But Hornell quickly closed the gap following the lead of Gabby Lapierre. Lapierre was a menace defensively and was shooting the lights out on the other end to lead the Lady Raiders.
Hornell eventually tied the game up, and the teams traded leads over the final minutes of the first until it settled at 19-19 after one.
Way-Co started the second quarter of with a deep three of its own, but then Hornell's defense helped it rip off a 12-2 run over the next three minutes as the Lady Raiders jumped out to a 31-24 lead and forced an Eagle timeout.
The Golden Eagles played well out of the timeout, but Hornell's lead grew into double digits thanks to its ability to knock down the long range shot.
Over the final minute, however, Way-Co sped the Lady Raiders up by forcing them into quick shots and were able to cut the lead down to 39-32 at the intermission.
Hornell came out of the halftime break and quickly pushed the lead back into double digits. Wayland-Cohocton stayed within striking distance by continuing to force Hornell off of the 3-point line. But that did not last.
Over the final three minutes of the third, the Lady Raiders were on fire, burying four triples from four different players, finishing the quarter on a 14-1 run that gave them a 63-40 lead going into the fourth.
After the break, Lapierre buried one final 3-pointer to cap the run at 17-1 and all but cemented another Red Raider win.
Over the final seven minutes, both teams used all of their benches, and when the final buzzer sounded Hornell had come away with the 68-48 win over Wayland-Cohocton.
Lapierre led the way with 24 points and also grabbed five steals. Leah Harkenrider also had a great game, finishing with 22 points while adding seven steals. Jaden Sciotti also added 10 points in the win.
Hornell (10-1) now faces its biggest test of the season on Friday night when the undefeated Dansville Mustangs come to town at 7:30 p.m.


On March 14th Thorsten Busch will be running a game (concept) jam and discussion as part of our weekly 5a7 Symposium. What exactly is the theme of the discussion/jam, you ask? Well I have no idea, so you'll just have to show up and find out.
Don't forget to have a few creativity +20 potions in your inventory this Thursday – we will surely need them: For this week's 5à7, Thorsten Busch is going to bring a theme or three which will serve as the background for some clever game designs that our motley crew of adventurous TAGsters will certainly come up with. Fear not, though, thou shalt not have to create a full game, but a mere concept! The 5à7 will be a brainstorming session plus discussion, but who knows – maybe we will turn some smart ideas into actual games later on?
I think this is supposed to be a clue.

    message("first chunk is: ", i[[1]],":",i[[2]])
    biglmfit <- biglm(form, data=ff.train[i,,drop=FALSE])
  }else{
    message("next chunk is: ", i[[1]],":",i[[2]])
    biglmfit <- update(biglmfit, ff.train[i,,drop=FALSE])
  }
}

When the above code is ran, it gives the following error message:

first chunk is: 1:494 Error: cannot allocate vector of size 19.4 Gb In
  addition: There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the
  first 50)

Is this error message in regards to the size of biglmfit cannot be fitting to memory?
Any work around to save biglmfit into ffdf data type?
Or for that matter, is there any ways to store analysis statistics into ffdf type in chunk?
Thank you.

Janhvi Kapoor Got Her Mother's Note Tattooed
Maryam KhalidOctober 9, 2021
The Kargil girl Janhvi Kapoor, recently caused a stir on Instagram by sharing a couple of pictures from her get-together with her girlfriends, but what caught the attention of her fans was her new tattoo handwritten in Sridevi's handwriting.
Actress Janhvi Kapoor posted photos of herself flaunting her new tattoo on her hand. The tattoo is a note by her late mother, Sridevi, which says, "I love you, my labbu". Interestingly, the tattoo is also written in Sridevi's handwriting.
Janhvi uploaded a video of herself getting a tattoo on his hand that is trending on social media. In a chat show hosted by Neha Dhupia, Janhvi said Sridevi didn't like tattoos. However, on the anniversary of Sridevi's passing, Janhvi just captivated the hearts of her followers by posting a photo of her tattoo. Janhvi Kapoor is an avid Instagram user who shares snippets of her workouts.
We got a glimpse of her temple trips and outings to hilly locations in the other photos. Actress Janhvi Kapoor is the daughter of the late actress Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor. She made her debut with Dhadak, directed by Karan Johar. Talking about her family, her mother, Sridevi, was an Indian actress and film producer who acted in films in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.
Sridevi is regarded as one of Indian cinema's greatest stars, and is frequently referred to as the country's "First Female Star." She married producer Boney Kapoor in 1996. Janhvi and Khushi are the couple's two daughters. Sridevi and her youngest daughter, Khushi, flew to the United Arab Emirates on February 20, 2018, to attend her nephew's wedding. Unfortunately, she took her last breath on February 24, 2018. Her fans were deeply saddened by her sudden demise.
In the same year, Janhvi's debut film "Dhadak" was released. Janhvi's father, Boney Kapoor, is an Indian film producer and has produced several hit movies like Judaai, Wanted, and many more. Boney Kapoor is the elder brother of the prominent actor, Anil Kapoor. Arjun Kapoor, a half-brother to Janhvi, is also an actor and made his debut in 2012 with Ishaqzaade. He is the nephew of Anil Kapoor. He was last seen in the movie 'Bhoot Police '. Apart from this, famous actress and fashion diva Sonam Kapoor is Janhvi's cousin.
Talking about her films, Janhvi Kapoor was seen in "The Kargil Girl" and "Gunjan Saxena" by Dharma Productions." The Kargil Girl is a biographical drama film directed by Sharan Sharma and produced by Dharma Productions and Zee Studios that will be released in India in 2020. Janhvi Kapoor plays Indian Air Force pilot Gunjan Saxena, one of the country's first female fighter pilots (the first was Srividya Rajan), with Pankaj Tripathi and Angad Bedi in supporting parts. Janhvi was deeply appreciated for her role in the movie.
Janhvi was last seen in Roohi, a horror-comedy directed by Hardik Mehta and produced by Dinesh Vijan says Varun Sharma, Janhvi Kapoor, and Rajkummar Rao appear in the film. It was announced on March 29, 2019, and production began in Agra on June 14, 2019. In India, the film was released in theatres on March 11, 2021. The film's confusing plot earned mainly poor reviews from critics. It has been dubbed one of the worst Hindi films of 2021 by publications such as The Indian Express.
Janhvi has acquired a large fan base and upped the bar for her fellow competitors in the film fraternity in just a few years. She has succeeded in capturing the hearts of her fans. Khushi is the elder sister of Janhvi. Her upcoming movies are "Takht", "Good Luck Jerry" and "Dostana 2". Takht, directed by Karan Johar and starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Madhuri Dixit, Ranveer Singh, and Anil Kapoor, has supposedly been shelved at the moment.

Trust Fundraising: the Cinderella of the Fundraising World?
It's the same old story, being played out every day in charitable organisations across the length and breadth of the country.
While major donor managers and corporate fundraisers are out and about courting potential sponsors and organising glitzy charity balls, trust fundraisers are all too often hidden away in the darkest, dustiest corners of the office.
With nothing more than a desk, a telephone and an ageing computer to keep them company, trust fundraisers are overlooked and their role is regarded as no more than a stepping stone for the far more glamorous positions occupied by their high profile colleagues.
Yet according to NCVO's Civil Society Almanac of Charities, over 10% of income comes in the form of grants, while major donations account for around 6% and corporate income comes in at a little over 4%. This should really come as no surprise, as statutory grants are supported every year by billions of pounds that come directly from corporation and income tax. As a result the money comes as much from the millions of workers who donate a small proportion of their income tax as it does from the millionaires who have made their fortunes and create trusts and foundations of their own.
The shoe simply doesn't fit!
So why is it that trust fundraising is regarded as the lowly relative; destined to be stereotyped as nothing more than a bunch of desk jockeys? Nearly all the trust fundraisers I know are charming, outgoing, sociable and creative people, who also happen to know how to formulate, plan and write a winning proposal.
What's more, the process of trust fundraising is really no different than that of the other disciplines: cultivating relationships (not just with the trust itself but also with the people who make the decisions), soliciting their support and then stewarding the relationship. At the end of the day, trust fundraisers can develop a relationship, which in the right hands can blossom and last for years.
My own experience is set against my background as a project manager and like many others in my position I had to do my own fundraising. Using all my project management skills, I discovered trust fundraising to be just as target driven and exciting as any business project. I use my skills to create a rapport with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, I have developed the resilience to pick myself up from the inevitable setbacks and celebrate the sense of triumph that comes with a successful outcome.
So I encourage all my fellow trust fundraisers to hold their heads high and the statistical evidence even higher in praise of their invaluable role. It's time to come out of the shadows and share the spotlight alongside our more celebrated colleagues. And for those of you looking for a career in fundraising, I encourage you to see trust fundraising not just as an entry level opportunity but as a career in itself.
Maybe that way, we will all get to go to the ball.

Did you also notice that the days are getting longer again?
We had 2 or 3 weeks of 'extreme'* cold which almost froze our ears and hands off, it was colder here then in Antartica ** . So I couldn't believe my phone this morning when it told me it would be sunny and 20°C! Not sure how warm it really was today, but it was defenitely a day to leave your coat at home!


So here I sit, sneaking a Hershey's Kiss I liberated from someone's candy bowl in St. Louis, pondering.
It's September, which means change is afoot. Facebook rolled out a bunch of craziness last night, the iPhone 4s or 5 will be here shortly, Where All the Dead Lie is out in the world, my to do list has grown a third head, and it's getting cooler out. I don't normally do well with change. I'm a Taurus. We like to have things a certain way, and don't want people messing with our stuff.
All right. To be honest, the day after a release is always a bit of a downer. You've spent all your time and energy pushing your new baby out, and now the nurses have taken him away to that faraway display bassinet, and you're left with your overfull breasts and sore body and an overhwlming desire to sleep which is countermanded by your biological need to reconnect with your child immediately.
I'm done traveling for the foreseeable future, which means I get to unpack. We are going to redo the kitchen - and as I brewed my tea this morning, I will admit to standing, mouth agape, I'm sure, staring at the old refrigerator (white, dented, broken icemaker, basically a chilled stand for a set of overfull cabinets, paper plates, bread and potatoes) wondering what it's going to look like when we do built in shelves and replace it with stainless. And wondering if you can remove granite countertops in one piece without demolishing them? I'd like to give mine to Habitat for Humanity, but don't know if they'll come off well.
Then I wandered into the dining room, which we're also going to redo, and realized that once we take off the previous owners' grass mat, which resides below the chair rail, and repaint the room, (it's red now, and I'm sick of it) and sell the furniture, it's going to look MUCH bigger.
We are not accumulators. We don't buy stuff just to buy stuff. We are doing our damndest to live a more minimalist lifestyle, with events instead of material goods. We gave away half our household last year, and damn if it doesn't seem like we need to do it again. Because of all the travel this year, things feels terribly cluttered.
Settling back into a work routine is messy as well. I was up until 1 AM two nights ago trying to sort through what has to happen now, what can wait until next week, and what waits until next month. My priority is the final edit on the May '12 book, due October 3, but I also had to do a line edit for a short story appearing next year, (Done and crossed off list - yay!) edit and bring pages of the sandwich book to group last night, plus do all the attendant release writing, publishing, tweeting and facebooking, plus juggle two other major projects I'm working on.
OK. I admit it. I am overwhelmed. And when I get overwhelmed, I shut down.
Hence the comforting bit of chocolate, and pondering. Which led me to the following, apropos of nothing, outside of the fact Facebook now wants me to categorize people, and I don't know which category name to use. And I know there are more like me who wonder. So. Help a sister out and take the poll.
And for you readers, when you take the poll, how do you refer to us? If you were going to say it aloud, which would it be - So and So is my favorite _________.
Share, chickadees. Give me something to distract myself.

By Gina Kalsi for Mailonline
BBC presenter Edward Stourton has called for a truce in the "accent war" at the Corporation.

The Radio 4 broadcaster, nicknamed 'Posh Ed' because of his education at Ampleforth and Trinity College, Cambridge, argued that clarity and authority should not be confused with class.
The argument began after a debate with Amol Rajan, who has a South London accent, from the Today programme.
Mr Rajan has criticized the BBC for its lack of diversity, after research suggested that 70% of news readers speak with Received Pronunciation (RP), compared to around 3% of the UK population.
BBC presenter Edward Stourton (pictured), nicknamed 'Classy Ed', argued that clarity and authority should not be confused with class
Mr Stourton admitted his accent was once 'much classier than the late Queen's', but said being clear was the most important factor.

Writing in the Radio Times, Mr Stourton said it was "clarity and authority" that mattered most.
He cited West Yorkshire-born novelist JB Priestley as an example of someone who "possessed clarity" "without being remotely chic".
He then pitted Priestley against Winston Churchill, whom he called "classy" but who was sometimes "difficult to understand".
Amol Rajan (pictured), who has a South London accent, has criticized the BBC for its lack of diversity
Tim Davie, the BBC's chief executive, was quizzed by Mr Rajan in September when asked if he would consider giving a presenter job to someone with a 'strong working-class regional accent' , to which the boss of the company replied. with "of course".

However, Mr Rajan's co-presenter Justin Webb disagreed with the suggestion that there was an imbalance. He told the Henley Literary Festival: "The work is about communication. You must be understood.
On BBC2 arts program The Late Show, Mr Stourton said the style of presenter had changed since 1989, adding that many, including himself, had "flattened their voices". He added, "But that doesn't seem to have ended the enthusiasm for the accent wars."
He concluded that broadcasting should be like a conversation over a drink.

Mark Alexander's hopes of getting the Springboks coaching roles filled by the end of 2019 appear to have been dashed due to an agent involved in negotiations reportedly being away on holiday.
The South African Rugby president has stated he wanted the business of who will succeed Rassie Erasmus as Springboks head coach done and dusted before the new year, but confirmation of that deal – along with who will be the new coach's assistants – now won't occur until January.
According to a report on the TimesLIVE website, SA Rugby have endorsed the recommendations of Eramsus as to who should take over following their 2019 World Cup triumph.
Contracts have apparently been offered and are with respective legal representatives or agents of the coaches involved. However, the deals for the new coaching team are not yet complete as one agent is on a festive break.
TimesLIVE reported: "A source at SA Rugby said one agent is away on his festive season break and that is causing the delay in the announcement of the coaching team."
(Continue reading below…)
The speculation is that defence mastermind Jacques Nienaber, who worked for many years at club and country level with Erasmus, has beaten Deon Davids to the job as Springboks boss.
Davids is said to be in line to take up an assistant role in the new set-up which will include contract extensions for Mzwandile Stick and Felix Jones, who were part of the Erasmus ticket at the World Cup in Japan.

For Irishman Jones, a long-term deal in South Africa would be quite a result after he quit Munster last May without an alternative job lined up.
It was only after Swys de Bruin made himself unavailable for World Cup duty through illness that a position opened up in the Springboks and Erasmus, who had Jones working under him during his 18-month stint at Munster, picked up to the phone to Ireland to fill the breach.
In the hour of his greatest triumph, Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus remembered his late Munster colleague Anthony Foley https://t.co/TMUvPcg7zK

Davids is rumoured to be filling the vacancy left by departing forwards coach Matthew Proudfoot, who is expected to link up with England in the new year.

During a visit to Moldova and Germany, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis held talks concerning the continuation of Moldova`s European path. Both Klaus Iohannis and Angela Merkel gave assurance that Romania and the European Union will support Moldova. EURACTIV Romania reports.
Moldova needs to continue its European path and Romania will be its main partner in this endeavour. This has been the main message that Iohannis delivered in Chi?in?u last week, during his first official visit to the neighbouring country.
Amidst regional security risks, economic problems, internal political instability and growing Russian pressures, the visit of the Romanian president in Moldova was intended to breath new life in the country's European commitments. Iohannis met with the leaders of the pro-European parties and reaffirmed the supporting role that Romania has assumed and will not abandon.
The visit came at a crucial point for Moldova, as its new government faces complicated tasks. The old pro-European alliance has collapsed and the liberals have opted out of a government supported by the Communists. Former Prime Minister Iurie leanc? resigned from the main governmental party – PLDM – and announced his intention to start a new political project. And, last but not least, the region's security continues to be at risk with both Ukraine and Transnistria (see background) being in the centre of attention.
Klaus Iohannis visit to Moldova tackled these issues, generating powerful statements on both sides.
Corruption was among the first topics addressed, particularly in light of the actions recently undertaken by the Romanian National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA). Commended in the most recent report of the Mechanism for Cooperation and Verification by the European Commission, DNA has just started criminal investigations against several important businessmen and the former minister of Regional Development and Tourism – a close collaborator of the former president Traian B?sescu, Elena Udrea. These actions have boosted regional opinion of Romania`s anti-corruption efforts and have brought a sense of potential for similar actions in Chi?in?u.
Political stability has been also an issue during the talks with Moldovan pro-European leaders. Iohannis urged them to seek solutions for working together and restated the importance of keeping Moldova on its pro-European track.
The main element on the agenda has been, however, regional security. The situation in Ukraine is pressing heavily on Moldova, particularly as Russian troops are stationed in Transnistria.
Just this week, NATO chief Philip Breedlove declared that Moldova might be a Russian interest. In his words, Moldova is one of the places where a strong media campaign is supported by Russia. Coupled with the presence of Russian troops in Transnistria, this poses a great risk for Moldova`s Western orientation.
President Iohannis raised worries concerning the current situation and ensured Romania`s commitment to keep Moldova on it European path.
In a more nuanced statement, delivered during his subsequent visit to Germany, Iohannis said that there are no signals that the Ukrainian scenario might happen in Moldova.
During the same press conference, German chancellor Angela Merkel declared that the conflict in Transnistria has long been on the agenda of the West and that the situation in Moldova is not developing as desired. She added that "Moldova will receive substantial aid from the European Union," calling the state "a close partner".
EU and Romania are supporting Ukraine also, how's that working out? Half of Moldavia is occupied the 14th Army of Russia, does anyone see conflict of interest on the horizon?

PALFINGER Q1 2021: Positive Market Leads to Increased Revenue and Jump in Earnings

EBIT margin in % 8.0 9.9 -
Consolidated net result for the period 15.5 24.5 +58.4%
Employees1) 11,127 10,905
The economic recovery of the second half of 2020 continued during Q1 of 2021 with a very positive impact on the development of earnings and revenue of PALFINGER AG in the first quarter. Thanks to a good product mix, the EBIT margin was 9.9 percent, that is clearly above the previous year's figure of 8 percent.
Extra Shifts Compensate for Production Downtime
"PALFINGER faced two-weeks of production downtime due to a cyberattack at the end of January, the consequences of which are being compensated for as quickly as possible. For this reason, extra shifts are being worked at our production sites," explains PALFINGER CEO Andreas Klauser. "We reacted fast and efficiently to the cyberattack, successfully limited the damage and restarted production in the shortest time possible," says Klauser.
Working at Full Capacity thanks to Strong Economic Cycle
The global economic recovery is reflected in PALFINGER's good order intake and consequently full order books; therefore, all plants are working at full capacity. Economic growth of 8.4 percent is forecast for China, 6.4 percent for the USA and 4.4 percent for Europe. The upturn is being driven largely by the construction industry. The timber industry is developing positively too. However, the upturn is accompanied by rising raw material prices which results in higher costs along the supply chain. "We also have to keep in mind the risk of limited material availability," says Klauser.
Revenue of PALFINGER AG amounted to EUR 405.9 million in Q1 of 2021 compared with EUR 393.2 million for the same period in the previous year. This represents an increase of EUR 12.7 million, or 3.2 percent.
EBITDA increased by 16.3 percent compared with Q1 of 2020, to EUR 58.5 million. The operating result (EBIT) increased from EUR 31.4 million in Q1 of 2020 to EUR 40.0 million in Q1 2021. The consolidated net result as at March 31, 2021 was EUR 24.5 million compared to EUR 15.5 million for the same period in the previous year.
Net debt was able to be reduced significantly to EUR 386 million, thanks in particular to optimized working capital management.
The equity ratio increased from 37.6 percent in the corresponding period of the previous year to 39.0 percent. The net debt to EBITDA ratio fell to 1.96 in Q1 of 2021 and was below the target of 2.0 for the first time since 2011.
For the full fiscal year 2021 management is aiming for a record year with revenues in excess of EUR 1.75 billion and an EBIT of more than EUR 149 million.
However, despite full order books and the worldwide economic upswing, there are substantial risk factors such as supply chain limitations, higher raw material prices, production capacity bottlenecks and uncertainty concerning the COVID-19 pandemic.

Where revision manager decides not to revise valuation
16. Part 6 of the Principal Act is amended by inserting after section 29 the following:
"29A. (1) Where a revision manager decides not to—
(a) amend the valuation of a relevant property under section 28, or
(b) amend any other material particular in relation to that property as it appears on a valuation list,
the Commissioner may, exceptionally and provided he or she is of opinion that it is necessary to do so in the interests of equity and uniformity of value or, in a case falling under paragraph (b), in the interests of maintaining the valuation list in as accurate a state as practicable, direct the revision manager, as appropriate, to amend—
(i) the valuation of that relevant property, or
(ii) the material particular that, in the opinion of the Commissioner, is inaccurate, and to issue or cause to be issued a new valuation certificate in relation to the property concerned.
(2) For the purpose of complying with a direction under subsection (1)(i), the revision manager shall determine the valuation in accordance with section 49 as if the valuation were being determined for the purpose of section 28(4). Following that determination, the revision manager shall issue or cause to be issued in relation to the property concerned—
(a) in accordance with section 29, a copy of the new valuation certificate proposed to be issued under subsection (6) of section 28, and
(b) in accordance with that subsection (6), the new valuation certificate (in the terms as originally proposed under section 29 or, as the case may be, as amended under subsection (3) of that section).".
