Best City in Mexico - San Miguel de Allende
Central | North America • Apr 24, 2021
If I had to choose one favorite city in Mexico, I would say San Miguel de Allende without thinking too much about. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the locals did not lose their specific hope or joy and are receiving tourists with the same good will and warmth.
Listed as one of the Top 10 Cities in the World
Also called Pueblo Magico, the fortified city of San Miguel de Allende was included in 2008 on the UNESCO World Heritage List due to its architectural remains, moving up to the list of Top 10 Cities in the World where you can retire, made by Conde Nast Traveler. And no wonder, the city is full of Americans and Canadians who bought beautiful colonial or modern homes and retired in Mexico, to a quieter and cheaper life on the "fun" side of the wall, as the Mexicans say.

Charming restored city centre
In the historic center it is estimated that there are over 2000 gates behind which are over 2000 inner courtyards of different sizes, many of which have been restored to their old colonial glory.
The colonial houses have been renovated and look absolutely incredible, when you walk on some streets you have the feeling that you are in an exterior and interior design competition.
Once here, in addition to the beauty of the houses, you immediately notice the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, the cathedral in the city center, whose construction is said to have begun in 1564. In the mid 19th century it was modified inside, and in In 1890, the neo-Gothic, pink facade was built, which you can admire today.
The buildings of this city delight the eye with its orange and yellow facades, having windows and doors framed by iron and carved wood ornaments. At 14 km from the city you can find the 18th century Jesuit sanctuary - Santuario de Atotonilco, one of the best examples of Baroque art and architecture in New Spain.
The festival in which the locals have a tradition of buying and throwing eggs at each other. Eggs are emptied of their contents, keeping only the shells, and inside they are filled with confetti. And on the last night everybody is throwing the eggs at each other, including flour. The historic center becomes full of color, but also white from the flour, and you have to slalom among them so as not to wake up with something in your head. This atmosphere is unique and you most probably never encountered before, all full of life, lively, a lot of color, and the impeccably restored colonial houses actually looked like in the most beautiful design magazines.
Take a tour of the city of San Miguel de Allende, exploring the cobbled streets bordered by opulent buildings and imposing churches. You will discover a city young and full of life, being chosen by many students who come here to study art, photography or Spanish.
Visit Casa del Mayorazgo - the most sumptuous building in the city, Casa Allende - the house where the national hero Ignacio Allende was born, and Templo de la Concepcion, built in 1891, which houses the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri, a series of 33 oil paintings representing the life of Saint Felipe Neri.

Advantages of replication arts
Along these lines, as the development of replicating occurred with compositions, as printers, and how they have propelled nowadays. It's incredible for the craftsman! presently we can have reproduced craftsmanship prints, in constrained versions our work of art, draws as well. Duplicates of our work to be sold at a much less expensive cost, and this offers a greater amount of our craftsmanship. Making it a lot more feasible for specialists to acquire more cash.
Yet, it additionally has its drawback... each craftsman can offer their craft in such a way, having their work recreated fat extremely focused costs. There are numerous organizations appearing on the web nowadays. Offering specialists the capacity to re- produce their craftsmanship in impeccable propagation.
So here comes the masses. The opposition, more craftsmanship can be purchased by people in general, and there is assigned to browse. Craftsmen contend with one another, particularly on the web, where you offer your craft prints alongside other kindred specialists. Presently don't misunderstand me. There has dependably been rivalry concerning anybody doing likewise, Whether it be blacksmithing or exchange. Also, is comes down to the essence of the general population, your style of work. furthermore, delineating what may offer at the time.
What is does provide for the craftsman, is the opportunity to offer their works at a lower cost and in huge number. Presently being a purchaser of craftsmanship also, yes.. us specialists do adoration purchasing different craftsmen functions too.
In the event that I saw a bit of craftsmanship and needed one for myself, I now have the opportunity to purchase one. In the event that the first had sold, no problem.... purchasing one of the restricted versions is not just less expensive; its additionally just of the same quality. Bearing in mind..... when the restricted release is sold out, you need to about-face to chasing around for somebody who claims one of the prints and needs to re-offer it. So don't be jaded in requesting your constrained release duplicate of craftsmanship when you see it.
What Art Replication implies for the Future
The replication of workmanship is staying put, and it gives anyone the possibility of owning their own particular cherished craftsmanship piece, and that is okay. Not just does it pick up another after and valuation for workmanship with individuals who may have exceptionally all around disregarded the universe of craftsmanship, on the grounds that they couldn't manage the cost of it. On the other hand stand, with their confronts gazing up at the divider at displays, respecting show-stoppers they would somehow or another not have the capacity to claim themselves..
Also, perhaps we may wince a little at not owning a unique painting. Yet, who might go out and contract their home for one of these well-known artistic creations, don't think so.
Restricted version prints are picking up their own value also. So be glad to have one. Also, when the constrained version offers out, then you have a speculation that will pick up in cost as it gets more established. Furthermore, if the craftsman turns out to be all the more no doubt understood.

Whelp. No need to recap my progress from my October Goals because... well, there was no progress. Whomp whomp. October was a terrible month for me, I just couldn't get motivation for anything while I was trying to find balance in my life. I'm feeling a little more on track as a new month starts though so I'm feeling pretty optimistic that I can accomplish my goals!
2. Complete my step goal each day For over a week my FitBit just would not sync - I knew that I was meeting my 10K step goal most days because it would buzz on my wrist when I got to my goal but it wouldn't sync to show me how many steps for sure. I complained on Twitter and FitBit Support tweeted back at me how to reset it and it's finally working again - hallelujah! I felt SO lost without it. On Sunday I was at almost 20K steps for the day by the time I headed to bed. I've had my FitBit for about 10 months now and I honestly think its the main reason I've been successful with my fitness/weight loss goals! I aim for 10K steps every single day but the days that I work in the city I aim for at least 15K. On my progress report for the last week it said that I was getting a daily average of 13,324 steps per day!
4. Buy/create five more Christmas gifts I already have a few Christmas gifts bought, which NEVER happens, so I'm already ahead of myself (for once!) but would like to get a few more finished before the craziness that is December hits. I'm normally a last minute shopper which usually means spending double my budget trying to over compensate for the last minute shopping. But not this year! I'm wanting to do a few 'homemade' items this year too which take more time so I better get started now!
8. Make myself a cleaning schedule This is something that I've been meaning to do for months now. I'm a list maker through and through so having a list of things to accomplish each week when it comes to cleaning is exactly what I need. Before I started working every Sunday I had planned on making Sunday my cleaning day but now that I work part time I need to make a bunch of adjustments. My poor bathroom looks like a bomb went off in it and when I did laundry on Sunday night it had been at least 10 days since the last time I did it - terrible!
Eight goals might seem a little lofty when I didn't manage to do a single one of the five that I made myself for October but I'm a glass half full kind of girl so I'm going to give it a whirl - wish me luck!
I want to get some Christmas gifts out of the way too! I've never done freezer meals buuut I hate making dinner after work so I think I need to do that some day!
First off, pick ME for snail mail! If you need me to re-send the address I can. I think I still have yours around here somewhere - going to have to look tonight! I need a cleaning schedule too, bad. It's just always the last thing I ever, ever want to do. I hope you find time to go visit your aunt so you can send me Santa's workshop snaps!
I didn't even MAKE goals in October.... so I couldn't fail them ;) but YES, I'm trying to get on track in November too. A freezer meal day definitely needs to happen for me!

MOVIE REVIEW: Victoria and Abdul
18 Sep 2017 0 shares 7 views
Dir: Stephen Frears
Starring Judi Dench, Ali Fazal, Eddie Izzard, Adeel Akhtar, Michael Gambon, Tim Pigott-Smith
Queen Victoria – the second-longest reigning monarch in British history – has been the subject of what must be hundreds of different works of fiction, TV serials, movies and more besides. The Queen was a rather different monarch to those who had come before here – noted often for her relatively progressive attitude and her perhaps unexpected friendships with the most unlikely of people. She is currently the subject of a celebrated ITV drama and has been played by some of the world's best-known and most-loved actors. One of the most famous, of course, is Judi Dench – who is known even on US shores as one of the UK's longest serving national treasures.
Dench is no stranger to playing Victoria – Victoria and Abdul is a sequel, so it is mooted, to the BAFTA-winning Mrs Brown, which is almost twenty years' old – a film which helped to cement the since knighted Dench as part of British acting aristocracy. This side of Victoria is, decidedly, rather different to depictions that we may well have seen elsewhere, or read about – and while it is still, supposedly, a largely historical account, it is a story which takes the right approach to fictionalisation – even if it is a rather safe example of British drama.
This latest peep into the life and reign of Queen Victoria focuses on her later years – Dench, portraying her once again since the events of Mrs Brown some 20-odd years prior, offers us a monarch who is largely isolated – one who has lost good friends and the love of her life many years before, and is struggling to find solace in the everyday. This seems set to change when Abdul Karim (Fazal) – an Indian servant in the Queen's service – strikes up a very unlikely companionship with the monarch, who soon names him her 'Indian Secretary' – getting the backs up not only of those around her, but perhaps most of all her son Prince Bertie (Izzard). The plot is as simple as that – while it may not be a completely accurate portrayal of events (given rather a contemporary leaning at times), there is enough here to build a film on.
Victoria and Abdul has already stirred up some comments in the British press – amongst those complaining that the film inaccurately depicts the treatment of Indian people during the time of its basis, and that Victoria's treatment of Abdul would hardly have been portrayed in quite such a positive or progressive light. There are some moments, where I have to agree – while I will get to Dench's performance very shortly – the Queen is given a few hackneyed lines here and there that simply don't fit the character we've heard so much about. All things considered, however, the script certainly does win us back from time to time with one or two brilliant monologues of sorts – sold over thanks in part to solid direction and Dench's performance.
Let's consider the cast – Dench is, of course, brilliant as Queen Victoria - checking in again in a humane portrayal of an otherwise untouchable monarch that she was rightly awarded for almost two decades ago. Izzard, as always, is reliable – though much attention will of course be directed towards Fazal, who – while affable and likeable – doesn't really have much to do in the character department. One of the large controversies that has reared its head over this film is that the Indian aspect of the story is drastically undersold – that not only are certain barbaric events in the outer reaches of the British Empire conveniently glossed-over, but that those characters representing the foreign land are given little to do – offering little in the way of uniqueness. This touch is fairly bothersome – and one I'm certainly not going to ignore – particularly as the more cynical viewer out there would assume this movie to be an outright attempt to either celebrate diversity or, perhaps, even justify some of the actions and decisions made by the British in centuries past.
Victoria and Abdul - Official Trailer (Universal Pictures)
Beyond the controversy – this is a film which is very nicely directed, well-staged, and peppered with character actors – and as such, it is still all rather safe. There are a handful of British movies that swan out each year that filter into a certain market. Victoria and Abdul is, at times, a gentle watch, though it is well-balanced with introspective moments – though for many viewers, the overarching issues surrounding 'whitewashing' may detract from the overall entertainment. On the whole, from a completely removed standpoint, this is a gentle plod that rather depends on Dench – and though that's no bad thing, it remains to be seen whether or not the movie will have such a good night at the BAFTAs as Mrs Brown did.
It should also be noted that Victoria and Abdul is the final film to feature celebrated British actor Tim Pigott-Smith, who sadly passed away earlier this April.

A: Add a viewBox attribute to the svg element. This will allow you to lock the svg to the exact dimensions of your graph using the min-x, min-y, width and height parameters.
Then you can resize the svg element and you're graph will stretch to grow bigger or smaller.
https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html#ViewBoxAttribute
Edit:
Here is your js fiddle updated to use viewBox. I've commented out the width and height attributes so that it resizes as you make the page wider or narrower.

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

Peraton Wins Two Defense Spectrum Awards Worth Up to $23 Million
Peraton
HERNDON, Va., Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Peraton has received two awards from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO) worth up to $23 million over five years.
The first award is a recompete for Advanced Wireless Services (AWS-3) Licensee Early Entry Coordination Support (LEECS). Peraton will provide technical services in support of the Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO) and its activities associated with AWS-3 Licensee early access coordination.
The contract builds upon Peraton's work for DSO since 2015, when the Department of Defense (DoD) military spectrum was sold through an auction to private sector telecommunications providers. Peraton has developed software and engineering capabilities to allow DoD to share the auctioned spectrum with private sector providers years ahead of schedule.
While the AWS-3 LEECS award is a recompete, it is notably the first task order contract issued under the new DISA Systems Engineering, Technology, and Innovation (SETI) IDIQ. It is worth up to $14 million over five years.
The second DSO award is a new contract to develop the AWS-3 2025-2110 MHz Spectrum Management/Coordination System (SMCS). As a result of the 2015 spectrum auction sale, DoD is relocating some communications equipment to work in a different band of the spectrum and in the future will share spectrum with the electronic news gathering (ENG) community.
Much like Peraton helped private sector telecommunications providers gain access to DoD frequency bands, under this contract Peraton will help DoD gain access to the ENG band. Peraton's SMCS work will focus on agile software development and utilize Peraton's Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 3 processes. There will be at least ten software releases over the five years of the contract. The contract is worth up to $9M over five years.
Both contracts exist because of public and private sector activities to build out the 4G and 5G standards and networks.
"As a result of our hard work and expertise, private sector auction winners have been able to gain early access to new spectrum more than five years before it was contractually guaranteed by DoD," said John Coleman, president, Defense and Homeland Security sector. "Our work on these two awards will allow Peraton to expand our spectrum software-related capabilities, deepen our experience in spectrum sharing solutions, and reinforce our standing in the information warfare space."

Chemehuevi - Trampas Lagoon
Chemehuevi - Trampas Lagoon Backpack
Six Desert Survivor members hiked this 35 mile backpack from Snaggle Tooth to the Colorado River using Trampas Wash and returning the same way. We attempted a new route from the mouth of Trampas Wash north to the Red Rock Falls Wash. Previous attempts had failed due to impassable steep ravines and slot canyons with dryfalls that are part of the Topock Gorge.
This time the plan was to move away from the river to avoid the difficult Topock Gorge terrain. We followed a route that was sketched out on a USGS topo map. This route was successful and will be used for a lollypop loop going in on Trampas Wash, crossing north on the new cross-country path, and returning in the Red Rock Wash. We did not have time to hike all the way to Red Rock Wash. However, since we could see that we had reached less steep terrain, it became clear that this would be a satisfactory route.
We saw cottontail rabbits, jack rabbits, several hawks including a mated pair of Red Tails, a few lizards, phainopepla, and several migrating birds. Clouds accumulated during the day, starting with a few scattered fluffy ones then increasing in volume and number. By mid-afternoon there were large dark-bottom cumulus clouds in the north; next we saw rain in the east over Arizona, and then a light mist fell for a while. There was abundant evidence of recent heavy rain in the flow patterns in the floor of the wash. As we approached the river the ground became saturated.Those who did not put up shelters were wet in the morning. The tarps and tents were wet inside and out. There had been a light mist during the night. Everything was dried out at lunch.
There is abundant evidence of over population by burros. There are burro trails and track ever where we went. The trail, tracks, dung, and contaminated water holes suggested an over-grazed livestock pasture. We saw a group of four burros with a young one near the mouth of Trampas Wash. We found three big horn skulls in washes; one was a nearly complete skeleton. Perhaps the burros are crowding out the big horn?
There was significant attrition from our group. Eddie fell ill to a stomach flu two days before the trip and Andy developed laryngitis on the drive to the trailhead and did no go on the backpack, and Lutz developed back pain on the first day but did not want to return to the trailhead; then he took a rest day and did not do the hike on the second day. He was supplied with ibuprofen by pooling the group's supplies, which appeared to help; he was much better and still improving on the return hike.
On the drive home there were heavy clouds and some rain between Tehachapi and Bakersfield. Crossing from CA-99 to I-5 north of Bakersfield there was a light rain. I saw the usual nine red tails, one mated pair, and three nests near the tops of the power line poles.
Further north, with sun behind me, dramatic banks of clouds covered the sky ahead. On the east side of this cloud bank a short arc of a rainbow appeared; it did not increase in length but developed into the most intense color bands that I have ever seen. A faint double of this rainbow arc was visible briefly.

Q: jquery redirect to URL with array I am trying to redirect to another page and pass an array with it, I have tried the following:
$.post('search-results.php', {'results': results});

but nothing happens at all. No errors or anything, what am I doing wrong?

A: POST wont redirect it will however send your data there. Use window.location = URL for redirect in javascript

A: Three solutions:

*

*fill a hidden form with post action and submit it via javascript.

*use window.location.url and add the parameters as get request but keep in mind that it's not post request as you wish.

*use jquery $.post, send the post data to a php script that keeping the data into session and on success callback redirect through window.location to the page that you want. This page will be looking if data exists in the session and it will use these data.


Pisaq is a set of several ruins in Peru's Valley of the Incas, and the nearby modern village. The views herein include the middle and lower ruins, not the upper ruin or the many terraces. Each photo is a link to a larger version of the same photograph. Machu Picchu and the Valley of the Incasl Placemarks.
The highest grade of Incan masonry was employed in the buildings of the middle ruins of Pisaq. The projecting round cylinders are roof tie downs. This view faces across the valley (with Pisaq village below) towards Cuzco.
The complex of buildings of the middle ruin surround the Intihuatani, the "Hitching Post of the Sun." The remains of the stone post are visible atop the rock above center on the left. This view faces across the side canyon in the direction of the lower ruins. Note the fields on the mountainside.
This close-up of the Intihuatani shows how it was broken off. The Spanish conquerors destroyed every Intihuatani they found.
The confluence of the side canyon and the Valley of the Incas is visible below. Pisaq village is on the valley floor just downstream from the confluence. The lower ruins are visible in the center left of this view.
The close-up of the lower ruins on the right has the same background as this view.
The lower ruins with the valley floor and fields across the side canyon as background. The grade of masonry in the lower ruins does not equal that surrounding the Intihuatani.
One of the dangers of farming in Perú is falling out of your fields! Note the terracing in the canyons all the way to the top of the mountain. This is the view from Pisaq village on the valley floor. The Inca ruins are to the right of this view.
The Andean people domesticated llamas and alpacas at an early date, long before the Inca civilization consolidated the polities of the region.
Llamas were the only beast of burden in all the Americas. Their course hair was is woven into cargo bags they transport. They will carry up to about 50 pounds, and if overloaded simply sit down. They are well adapted to the steep mountains.
Alpacas are raised for their fine hair and for meat. They are smaller than alpacas and have shorter faces.

This Couple Lost 400 Pounds Together After Making New Year's Resolution And Now Feel "Happier" And "Proud"
Lexi and Danny Reed made it their New Year's resolution to shed their extra pounds. The couple stuck to their resolution and in two years managed to lose a collective 400 pounds.
By Jisha Joseph
For some of us, a perfect weekend comprises curling up on the couch with our partners and binging on the latest series that Netflix has to offer. Of course, there's also the standard stuff yourself with as much junk food as you possibly can ritual that comes hand in hand. Now, imagine doing this every single day. Get's old pretty fast, doesn't it? Lexi and Danny Reed have lived this life. The married couple had gotten so used to leading an extremely unhealthy lifestyle, due to which they were both grossly overweight. However, on New Year's Day 2016, they decided to turn their lives around and shed all those extra pounds.
The 5-foot-6-inch Lexi weighed 485 pounds and 5-foot-8-inch Danny tipped the scale at 280 when they first started out. Speaking to Today about finally making the decision to lose weight and get on a healthier lifestyle, Lexi said, "I just felt happier. I felt proud of myself. I was accomplishing something and I was finally doing something." She had been overweight for as long as she could remember, and when she started dating Danny in 2007, they got into the habit of going out frequently or sitting in front of the TV for hours and end while mindlessly eating.
A compelling reason behind wanting to become healthier was Lexi's fear that being overweight would shorten the time she had with Danny. Both of them had talked about having children and she was worried her weight would cause complications. "I knew I could never be a mom at the size that I was and that was one thing that motivated me," Lexi said. Their weight loss journey was given a major boost when a friend challenged them to take up the 30-day-challenge which required them to give up alcohol, going out to eat or having a cheat meal.
The couple took the dare and also started going to the gym. Upon successfully completing the one month, the couple added vegetables and lean protein, such as salmon and chicken to their diet. "We just switched the fast food for healthy choices," Lexi said. She elaborated on how difficult it was to make the switch to healthier food, in an interview with ABC News. "The hardest part of our journey was changing our relationship with food. When I was 485 pounds, I never cooked. My husband and I would go out to eat for almost every single meal and if we did cook at home, it was frozen pizza or anything else unhealthy," she said.
"We found that by meal-prepping instead of relying on fast food, we were able to stick with our goals when we were at work. And by learning to cook our own meals we were in charge of what we were eating. We were willing to learn every single day of our journey and we also started using the gym as therapy instead of food. By changing our minds, habits and emotional triggers, we changed our lives," Lexi added. Their hard work and dedication showed itself on the scale and the couple lost a total of 400 pounds in just two years. "I went from a size 28 to a size 10," Lexi said, while Danny added, "I went from a 46 all the way down to a 32."
Another unexpected perk of their weight-loss journey was the wonders it did for their relationship. "Doing this as a couple has helped us in so many ways. On days when we were unmotivated, we pushed each other to go to the gym. We also started meal-prepping together, setting goals, and day by day or pound by pound we grew closer throughout our journey," Lexi said. Danny agrees as he said, "This helped our relationship a lot and that is pretty cool. Us being able to do stuff together has brought us closer together." Celebrity fitness trainer Latreal Mitchell claims having someone to lean on is the key to success.
"A workout partner is key. Accountability is everything. Not every day you're going to want to go out there and give it your all. At least you'll have someone to say, 'Come on. Today is my day to uplift you and vice versa'," she said. Today Lexi has a viral Instagram account where she regularly posts videos of their workout sessions. What started out as a simple New Year's resolution is now a million follower base for @fatgirlfedup. "I never expected to have such an impact. I just wanted to get healthy," Lexi said.
Lexi is extremely grateful for the way things have turned around for her and Danny. "There are no words to explain the feeling of saving your own life. Going into 2018 I have nothing but newfound happiness for this life I am living. I no longer am a prisoner in my own body and instead of just existing in my own life, I'm finally alive. Every day I wake up is a blessing," she said. It's truly praise-worthy how far this adorable couple has come from their days spent on the couch. Do you need any more motivation to drag yourself to the gym today?

Biographical Sketch of Allen, William
Leave a Comment / Maine, Massachusetts
Allen, William, son of William Allen, was born at Brunswick, Cumberland County, Maine, March 31, 1822. He is a grandson of the Rev. Thomas Allen, the "fighting parson" of the noted Berkshire militia, who performed such conspicuous service under General Stark of Revolutionary fame. His father was a clergyman of Pittsfield, a scholar of eminence, and at one time president of Bowdoin College.
After obtaining his preliminary education at the public schools, Mr. Allen fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, and at the North Yarmouth Academy, in Maine, and entered Bowdoin College in 1834. After a few months spent at Bowdoin he went to Amherst, where he graduated in 1842. He began the study of law at the Yale law school, continuing it later at Northampton, where he was admitted to the bar in 1845, and where he has since resided.
In 1880 Mr. Allen was made associate justice of the superior court, which high office he now holds, abundantly justifying the judicious selection of Governor Long, to whom he was indebted for the elevation.

The lightweight fuselage gives the new Wing Loong I-D drone a significant boost in operating endurance, payload and service ceiling Chinese experts noted on Monday after China's first multi-purpose drone for export that uses a composite material structure successfully completed its maiden flight.
As an advanced variant of the Wing Loong I, the Wing Loong I-D provides another cost-efficient choice for potential buyers on the international market compared to similar products, which also come mainly from China, Chinese military experts said.
The drone took off for the first time at an undisclosed airport in western China on Sunday afternoon. It landed safely after a 30-minute flight, the drone's manufacturer Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) said in a statement released on Sunday on its WeChat account.
Wei Dongxu, a Beijing-based military analyst, told the Global Times on Monday that the utilization of the technology indicates China has made a breakthrough in making large structures with composite material, because an all-composite material fuselage has to be processed in one go and no joint is allowed, which is different and more difficult than previously used technology.
Loaded with a high-definition electro-optical pod and a synthetic aperture radar, the Wing Loong I-D is capable of carrying out missions including intelligence acquisition, surveillance, reconnaissance, anti-terrorist operation, border patrol and disaster evaluation, the statement said.
It also has four weapon stations under its wings capable of carrying more than a dozen types of precision strike weapons that are laser-guided or satellite-guided, AVIC said in the statement.
Based on matured technology since the development of the previous Wing Loong I, the Wing Loong I-D possesses several changes to meet demands from users, according to the statement.
The most noticeable change is its all-composite material design, making the Wing Loong I-D China's first drone to make use of such a technology, the company said.
The US-made RQ-4 Global Hawk, another modern advanced drone, uses traditional aluminum for its main fuselage, with composite material only being used in areas including wings and engine cover, the RQ-4 Global Hawk's manufacturer Northrop Grumman said on its website.
"Composite material is very light and can significantly decrease the weight of the drone, enabling it to carry more fuel and weapons," Wei said, noting that it can also make the drone more difficult to be spotted by hostile radar, increasing the drone's survivability.
AVIC also optimized the drone's aerodynamic design and installed in the drone a new engine with greater power, the company said.
All of these changes make the Wing Loong I-D enjoy a significant performance boost in takeoff weight, operating endurance, amount of payload and service ceiling, according to the statement.
The Wing Loong I-D is expected to be able to continuously fly for 35 hours and carry up to 400 kilograms of external payload, while the original Wing Loong I only has an endurance of about 20 hours and can carry 100 kilograms of external payload, Jane's Defence Weekly reported.
Before upgrading the Wing Loong I to Wing Loong I-D, AVIC also developed the Wing Loong II, the true next-generation entry to the Wing Loong series that made its maiden flight in 2017.
A military expert, who asked not to be named, told the Global Times on Monday that the AVIC didn't need too many development resources to make the Wing Loong I-D more advanced than the Wing Loong I, but not as expensive as the Wing Loong II.
The world market now has another cost-efficient choice, the expert remarked.
Countries like Egypt, Indonesia and Serbia are operating the Wing Loong I, Jane's Defence Weekly reported.
AVIC's Wing Loong drones are not the only Chinese drones popular on the international market.
The CH series developed by the Chinese Academy of Aerospace and Aerodynamics under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC) is also a top-seller with countries including Algeria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the UAE operating the CH-4 armed reconnaissance drone, according to Jane's Defence Weekly.
Competition between AVIC and CASC is great for the overall development of Chinese drones, as the two firms are eager to find ways to create better drones and with a wider range of applications, the anonymous expert said.

Home News Releases Cost savings keep Managed Print Services adoption on track through recession
Cost savings keep Managed Print Services adoption on track through recession
Dec 08, 2009 — Research and Development
UXBRIDGE Research results announced today reveal that managed print services (MPS) remain popular in large and medium-sized enterprises despite the recession. Over 90 per cent of respondents state that they will continue with original plans to deploy MPS in their organisations. The MPS end-user survey, co-sponsored by Xerox and undertaken by research and analysis company Quocirca, shows that 70 per cent of organisations saw management of their print infrastructure as a strategic imperative. Cost savings are the key driver for MPS adoption. 25 per cent of respondents say that MPS is delivering cost savings above expectations, and a further 60 per cent say they were satisfied with the savings achieved.
The survey was undertaken across the UK, Germany, France and the US in 200 organisations across five vertical industry sectors: financial services; pharmaceutical; public sector; retail; and telecoms and IT. The questionnaire was designed to capture both non-MPS and MPS users with a quota defined for a 50 per cent split between MPS and potential MPS users.
Whilst cost saving is the main MPS attraction, document security is still of concern with over 50 per cent of respondents raising document security as a barrier to MPS adoption. "This could be due to the lack of awareness of the capabilities that MPS offers to improve the security of document processes," said Louella Fernandes Principal Analyst at Quocirca. "It may also be due to the perception that remote monitoring poses security risks. However, remote monitoring itself does not cause security vulnerabilities. So this suggests that there is a lack of understanding on how an MPS operates and how a secure environment can be maintained."
Commenting on the results, Shaun Pantling, director and general manager of Xerox Global Services, Europe said: "The economic downturn doesn't seem to have had a major impact on corporate MPS plans, which we believe is a direct result of MPS clearly delivering on promises to bring cost savings. Unmanaged print environments expose organisations to both spiralling print costs and a higher security risk, so it is unsurprising that these are the most pressing concerns. Most large organisations are worried about the security of confidential or sensitive information, particularly where there are multiple shared devices. These are exactly the concerns that Xerox addresses with a range of smart scanning and secure printing solutions."
Further findings include:
Organisations with over 5,000 employees are more likely to view printing as strategic
The finance and government sectors place a higher strategic importance on managing their print infrastructures than other industries
Cost reduction is the most pressing concern for all organisations across all regions. Document security comes second but there are strong regional variations with this being a particular issue in France and Germany
Cost savings expectations are typically between 10-40 per cent but vary by vertical sector and organisational size
Cost saving expectations are significantly higher in Germany than in other countries
German organisations also place the highest importance on secure printing solutions suggesting that they may be further along the maturity curve for MPS than other countries
The ability to guarantee cost savings was rated the most important capability with approximately 50 per cent of respondents rating this as very important. Consolidated billing (#2) and proactive supplies management (#3) were also rated highly. Multivendor management came in at #6 with nearly 80 per cent rating it as either important or very important
The financial sector demonstrates much higher print costs, with 65 per cent of respondents believing printing to account for more than 10 per cent of their budget. With its higher reliance on printed output, controlling print costs is vital for this sector
Cost issues are seen as key challenges particularly for government and finance, while document security is the highest concern amongst pharmaceutical respondents
Over 90 per cent of organisations who have outsourced to an MPS channel provider are satisfied with the level of service they are receiving
Satisfaction levels are much higher for those using either a fully outsourced or out-tasked approach to MPS compared to a basic MPS model
Those using fully outsourced MPS, experience a much lower proportion of IT support calls relating to print.

About Xerox and MPS
Using MPS best practise Xerox has delivered real measurable benefits to customers across Europe and globally:
A global IT firm saved over $7m per annually after Xerox standardised processes for printer management
Sun Microsystems were processing 3,000 printer related invoices per quarter but today send out one itemised invoice per country, per quarter, enabling significant cost savings and improving business efficiencies
The service desk at a global telecommunications company was burdened with 850 calls per month. Xerox helped reduce the volume of calls by 40 per cent by managing their printer fleet for them
QinetiQ cut energy use by 44 per cent and greenhouse gases by 44 per cent after putting in place a sustainable and secure print solution from Xerox

About the Survey:
Undertaken amongst IT Directors, CIOs, IT management and decision makers/influencers evenly spread across the US, UK, Germany and France, The research was held amongst organisations 50 per cent of which had 1,000-5,000 employees and the remaining 50 per cent more than 5,000 employees. Organisations were interviewed in June 2009 and covered a number of industry sectors including: retail; telecoms; financial services; public sector; and pharmaceutical industries. Printer and copy devices refer to all personal and networked printers or copiers (lasers, inkjets, group printers, copiers and multifunction devices).
For the purposes of this research, Quocirca regards MPS as being the use of an external organisation to assess how an organisation's printer, copier and multi-function assets can be most optimally provided, followed by the external organisation providing ongoing monitoring, maintenance and management of the assets via an agreed service contract. The definition does not include just purchasing or leasing of print and copier assets from an external on a cost-per-page or other basis - it had to include a degree of up-front assessment and fleet optimisation.

Now that I'm living in Florida, I have a feeling I'm going to be drinking a lot of witbiers since it's a style that pairs well with this climate. So first up is "Trapeze Monk" by Big Top Brewing out of Sarasota. It's definitely true to the style for the most part, though it's a little sweeter and almost soda-like in its presentation.
I poured a 12oz can into a red wine glass. There was no freshness date and it cost $2.49 ($0.21 per ounce). Thanks to Mike for this can!
Appearance: Clear, glowing, flame-like hue of light orange/gold. Effervescence is always visible. Pours to a thumb-width, white, soapy head which evaporates quickly and completely.
Smell: Strong coriander and orangepeel aroma. Some banana and other classic esters. Almost flowery or perfumey.
Taste: I like beers that are sweet, as long as it's appropriate for the style. Witbiers tend to be sweet and spicy, though this brew seems especially sweet for the style. It's almost like an orange-flavored soda. From start to finish there's a strong orange presence; though it's probably from orangepeel added to the brew and possibly from the use of hops; it does seem a little faux. The coriander imparts light spice towards the middle and on the backend. Actual hop bitterness is fairly low. Overall, it's plenty tasty and fun to drink.
Drinkability: If this beer tastes like a soda, it also drinks as such. The body is thin and spastic in its effervescence. Carbonation actually gets stuck in my throat. Not that it's a challenge to drink, but it's not as smooth as I'd prefer. Big Top Trapeze Monk is only 5.1% ABV which is relatively light, and has the palette for it. Refreshing while in the mouth with a clean aftertaste, which makes this tempting to session in the Florida heat.

NY attorney general recuses herself from vaccine-fraud investigation into ParCare clinics, owned by a Hasidic supporter

(JTA) — New York's attorney general, Letitia James, won't participate in the investigation into ParCare, the network of health clinics under scrutiny for potential fraud related to the new coronavirus vaccine.
James recused herself from the investigation into the clinics, which are owned by Gary Schlesinger, a Hasidic Jewish leader from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a longtime supporter of hers who has posted a number of photos of himself with her to Facebook over the past several years.
"In order to avoid even an appearance of conflict, the attorney general has personally recused herself from this matter," James' office said in a statement, according to The New York Post.
But the investigation will continue into whether ParCare may have obtained doses of the coronavirus vaccine "fraudulently" and distributed them more broadly than state guidelines allowed.
The clinic advertised its vaccines and administered several hundreds doses to members of the public at a time when only frontline healthcare workers and nursing home residents and workers were eligible.
Schlesinger posted a photo to Twitter showing him receiving the vaccine Dec. 22, even though he was not in the groups then eligible for the vaccine. He later deleted the tweet. Two leading Modern Orthodox rabbis also received doses of the vaccine at a ParCare clinic. One of them, Rabbi Hershel Schachter, said they would not have taken the vaccine if they had known it was not appropriate.
The attorney general's office said the relationship between James and Schlesinger would not compromise the investigation, saying, "our office will follow the facts and the law wherever they may lead," according to the Post.
But one Orthodox resident of New York told the Post the investigation was now suspect. "No one's taking it seriously as a threat," that person said. "It's known she's very good friends with the Hasidic community. She's unlikely to do anything to jeopardize that relationship."
Meanwhile, New York's vaccine rollout is proceeding sluggishly, with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio blaming Gov. Andrew Cuomo for not widening the categories of people eligible to be vaccinated. After state officials began investigating ParCare last week, Cuomo issued an executive order imposing fines of up to $1 million for vaccine-related fraud.
