Q: Monitoring a website for internal redirects I would like to monitor a particular URL and wait until it internally redirects me by using python requests. The website will randomly redirect me after a period of time. However, I am having some issues right now. The strategy I have employed so far is something like this:
headers = {
    'Accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8',
    'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
    'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9',
    'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
    'Connection': 'keep-alive',
    'Pragma': 'no-cache',
    'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests': '1',
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36'
}

session = requests.Session()

while success is False:
    r = session.get(url, headers=headers, allow_redirects=True)
    if keyword in r.text:
        success = True
    time.sleep(30)

print("Success.")

It seems as though every time I make a GET request, the timer is reset and so I am never redirected, I thought a session would fix this but perhaps not. Although, how am I meant to check for changes to the page without sending a new request every 30 seconds? Looking at the network tab in Chrome it seems as though the status code is 307.
If anyone knows how to resolve this issue it would be very helpful, thanks.

A: Selenium is the quick and ugly answer:
from selenium import webdriver

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.87 Safari/537.36")

browser = webdriver.Firefox(profile)
browser.get(url)

while success is False:
    text = browser.page_source
    if keyword in text:
        success = True
    time.sleep(30)

print("Success.")

As far using requests goes, I'd hazard to guess that your web browser is requesting the reload, does the request in the network differ in anyway than the initial request? browsermob-proxy is a great tool for deep diving into these sorts of issues, it's effectively the network tab on steroids.
Apologies for the vagueness of the last half, but it's difficult to say more without having seen the website.

Mount Gay Round Barbados Series celebrates 80th anniversary & Barbados' 50th year of Independence
by Bajan Reporter / September 26th, 2015
Now is the time to sign up for the Mount Gay Round Barbados Race Series (16-24 January 2016), as preparations to mark the 80th anniversary, and to commemorate 50 years of independence for Barbados, are well underway.
Thanks to its re-launched in 2014, where a new race format and more record-breaking opportunities were introduced, this Caribbean season opening regatta is now one of the key events on the race circuit, and is fast becoming a speed-sailing, record-breaking favourite.
Three days of coastal racing, the Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race (the headline event), and the chance to contest a final 300-mile Ocean Race to Antigua to tie up with the Superyacht Challenge, gives plenty of options for teams looking for early season, top-class racing.
For teams with a taste for speed, and rum, there's a chance to win their skipper's weight in Mount Gay Rum as a prize for the fastest time if any of the 14 Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race records are broken. At the 2015 event earlier this year, three teams managed to scoop the top prizes, which amassed a total of 78 cases of Mount Gay Rum.
The racing/record-breaking opportunities, together with legendary rum-fuelled parties, a visit to the Mount Gay Rum Distillery, and the chance to soak up the colonial-style Bajan hospitality at an exhibition polo match on lay day, have all helped establish the unique identity of the Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race Series.
Organised by Barbados Cruising Club in association with Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc, and Mount Gay, this regatta always takes place during the third week in January to incorporate the headline event – the 60-nautical mile Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race – which traditionally takes place on Errol Barrow public holiday (21 January).
This year Errol Barrow Day – the birthday of the first Prime Minister of Barbados, and 'father' of independence, who was a keen sailor/member Barbados Cruising Club – commemorates 50 years of Independence for Barbados.
In an effort to mark the occasion, William Griffith (CEO of Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc), has announced a new and exciting partnership between Barbados and Team Concise, Britain's successful offshore racing team. The MOD70 trimaran – Concise 10, and the highly successful Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), Class 40 Champion, Concise 8 will be branded Ms BARBADOS, for the forthcoming winter season and will be based near Bridgetown, Barbados.
Team Directors Tony Lawson and Ned Collier Wakefield launched Team Concise in August 2006 with the intention of helping young British sailors forge a future in competitive offshore racing. Since then the team has completed over 30,000 miles of racing, built three generations of Class 40s, and produced some notable race results, including a Class 40 world championship win.
Lawson, Concise CEO, commenting on Barbados as a choice for his team's winter base, commented: "Barbados has it all including deep sea fishing, water-sports, super beaches, surfing, golf courses, tennis, first class polo and horse racing, motor racing, great restaurants and iconic hotels – and it's all within 20 minutes. There's nowhere else in the West Indies that can offer my crew and guests so much. In fact you can't find an offer like this anywhere else in the world. It's unique! That's why we are delighted to be going there."
Team Concise is expected in Barbados around the 15 December, after Concise 10 completes the RORC Transatlantic Race, and Concise 8 the Transat Jacques Vabre race from France to Brazil. Then, as part of their programme, the two boats will make repeated runs around Barbados attempting to establish new records for the fastest time around the island. This will create a visual feast of speed for visitors on the beaches as well as for the local Bajans who have a passion for anything fast.
In addition, there is a planned showdown between the MOD70 trimaran – Concise 10 – and a local rally car that will race each other around the island, plus the introduction of the The Barbados Flying Mile. The Barbados Flying Mile, which is open to all comers, provides even more chances to establish new records. The idea is for teams to time themselves over a measured mile between two official marker buoys, post their elapsed times online, and claim bragging rights if they are the fastest.
Although out-and-out racing machines such as TP52s, MOD 70s, Volvo 70s, and local one-designs, cruisers, and charter yachts, are expected to make up the bulk of the fleet for the Mount Gay Round Barbados Series, there is likely to be a fine sprinkling of classics. Among the prettiest is Mat Barker's Alfred Mylne 65 The Blue Peter, built by W. King & Sons at Burnham-on-Crouch, UK.
The outright monohull record round the island of Barbados remains in the hands of Andy Budgen and team on the British VO70 Monster Project who set a time of 4 hours 42 minutes 28 seconds in 2014. However, with the likes of the Barbados-branded team on their MOD70, and a selection of super-fast monohulls taking part, the absolute multihull record and several monohull class records look set to fall.
The highly competitive J/24 fleet always attracts big numbers and now, with the added opportunity to contest the 60-nautical mile Round Barbados Race, the organisers expect a further increase in entries. The time to beat from last year's inaugural J/24 Round Barbados course is 09hrs, 06mins, 38secs.
The charter option for the Mount Gay Round Barbados Race Series is, not surprisingly, hugely popular. It offers clients the chance to visit Barbados and experience the Island's warmth and hospitality and enjoy the seriously fun sailing and partying, without the responsibility/time of sailing the boat there. So far there are 14 charter company options available including OnDeck, Stormforce Coaching, Performance Yacht Charter, plus there are plenty of individual charter yachts spaces on offer including a VO60s and a TP52. Click here for a list of charter options available.

Promoting Interfaith Understanding
In New Muslim Cool, Puerto Rican-American rapper Hamza Pérez pulled himself out of drug dealing and street life 12 years ago and became a Muslim. Now he's moved to the tough north side of Pittsburgh to start a new religious community, rebuild his shattered family and reach out to his neighborhood with the message that faith is a better response than crime to poverty and injustice.
Below are some actions you could take to ensure that people in your community have accurate information about all the groups of people represented in the film.
Use New Muslim Cool as the basis for inter-generational dialogue about social justice and working together to improve your community.
Hamza says, "I think we can teach Muslim youth how to deal with this anger they have built up inside through writing and poetry." Create a poetry writing workshop for young people in your community. Challenge participants to think about what their religious or ethnic identity means to them and where it provides opportunities to find common ground
with others. Like Carol in the film, organize a poetry festival or publication based on an interfaith theme.
Work with Muslims in your community to convene a public teach-in or Webinar on Muslims in the United States. Invite speakers to address stereotypes and provide accurate information. Follow up with meetings with local news directors and newspaper editors to ensure accurate coverage of Muslims.
To increase interfaith understanding, work with your local council of churches (or similar religious organization) to create a series of open houses at mosques, synagogues, temples, churches and other religious institutions around your community.
Groups that are interested in planning events or group dialogues
specifically devoted to building interfaith or inter-ethnic understanding
can refer to Active Voice's Crossover Conversations Toolkit, which includes tips for event framing, a planning checklist, interfaith dialogue suggestions and more.
Investigate opportunities for outreach promoting interfaith understanding to inmates in jails and/or prisons.
Support or create efforts to track discrimination against Muslims and other religious minorities in your community, state or region. Publicize hate crimes with public statements or demonstrations indicating that actions based on prejudice or hate are unacceptable in your community.
Carefully study the USA Patriot Act and laws governing profiling. Meet with elected officials and law enforcement to let them know how you want them to enforce or change existing policies.

Unlike a concrete ramp that cannot be moved or resold, the Cochrane Loading Ramp is fully mobile and self supporting. Able to bear the full weight of a forklift, thanks to heavy-duty construction of the legs and framework.
Because the ramp can be easily moved into position by a forklift in minutes – right up to the "target" containers – they can be loaded faster, with a fraction of the usual effort. This not only makes it ideal for temporary sites, but "overload" situations where mobility is crucial.
With an adjustable height range of 600mm or a fixed height of 1500mm, the Cochrane Loading Ramp offers truly unrivalled work space flexibility.

As a former prosecutor, attorney Robert Norvell has the unique experience and knowledge of what drives the prosecution of a criminal case.
Prosecuting and defending criminal cases for the State of Florida gives him an insider's perspective -- a competitive edge when it comes to effectively pressing for the elimination of the case against you, or when necessary, fighting for your rights in front of a jury. In criminal law, like no other area, it is crucial that you hire an attorney with knowledge of the local judges, prosecutors and courtroom proceedings. The judge your case is assigned to will be making many of the ultimate decisions in your case, knowledge of that judge's judicial philosophy and policies is essential in making decisions defending your case.

ACLU Files Historic Lawsuit to Stop Surveillance Planes Above Baltimore
"If this wide-area aerial surveillance program is allowed to move forward, we can expect mass surveillance to spread in cities across the country."
By Derrick Broze. Published 4-15-2020 by The Mind Unleashed
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit in an attempt to stop the city of Baltimore from rolling out a disturbing aerial surveillance program.
The ACLU filed the suit on behalf of a group of Baltimore community activists who have raised concerns about the introduction of a controversial technology known as wide-area aerial surveillance which involves stationing an aircraft equipped with ultra-high-resolution cameras over a city to track all visible pedestrians and vehicles within that city.

Walmart Was Almost Charged Criminally Over Opioids. Trump Appointees Killed the Indictment.
Even as company pharmacists protested, Walmart kept filling suspicious prescriptions, stoking the country's opioid epidemic. A Republican U.S. Attorney in Texas thought the evidence was damning. Trump's political appointees? Not so much.

On a Tuesday just before Halloween in 2018, a group of federal prosecutors and agents from Texas arrived in Washington. For almost two years, they'd been investigating the opioid dispensing practices of Walmart, the largest company in the world. They had amassed what they viewed as highly damning evidence only to face a major obstacle: top Trump appointees at the Department of Justice.
The prosecution team had come to Washington to try to save its case. Joe Brown, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, led the group, which included Heather Rattan, an over-20-year veteran of the office who had spent much of her career prosecuting members of drug cartels.

US Government Accused of Stifling Medical Marijuana Research
With its widespread usage and support, research into the drug has never been so critical
Written by Lauren McCauley, staff writer for Common Dreams. Published 10-21-15.

Government bias and schizophrenic marijuana policy in the U.S. are stifling research into its medical uses, charges a new paper published Tuesday by researchers with the Brookings Institution, which in turn could heighten public policy and health risks as more and more states legalize medical and recreational marijuana usage.
While information about the possible benefits and harms of the drug has never been so critical, "the U.S. government has held back the medical community's ability to conduct the type of research that the scientific community considers the experimental gold standard in guiding medical practice," argue (pdf) Brookings fellow John Hudak and senior research assistant Grace Wallack, both with the Washington D.C. think tank's Center for Effective Public Management.
"Of all the controlled substances that the federal government regulates, cannabis is treated in a unique manner in ways that specifically impede research," continue Hudak and Wallack. "Statutory, regulatory, bureaucratic, and cultural barriers have paralyzed science and threatened the integrity of research freedom in this area."
The report credits President Obama with introducing some reforms but it argues that marijuana policy as it stands "is inconsistent and often contradictory," and thus deters important scientific study.
The report looks at various proposals to overcoming the stigma of marijuana research and argues that moving the drug from a Schedule I to Schedule II classification—a move long-sought by drug reform advocates—would be a notable starting point as rescheduling would designate cannabis as possibly having "accepted medical use."
Such a move "would signal to the medical community that FDA and NIH are ready to take medical marijuana research seriously, and help overcome a government-sponsored chilling effect on research that manifests in direct and indirect ways," Hudak and Wallack write.
Other roadblocks cited include the current Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)-mandate that marijuana for research comes only from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), which contracts exclusively with the University of Mississippi.
Also, the paper calls on relevant government agencies—including the DEA, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the IRS, and the National Institute of Health (NIH)—to clarify the many "legal gray areas" surrounding cannabis.
Public support for marijuana use is at its highest level, according to a Gallup survey released Wednesday, with 58 percent of the population backing full legalization.
What's more, a study of National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism statistics also released Wednesday found that its use among adults has doubled in the years between 2001 and 2013, amounting to as many as 22 million mostly recreational users today.
With recreational marijuana now legal in four states and medical marijuana programs in 23, the public has made it clear that it is interested in exploring the drug as an alternative remedy for a host of ailments including pain, nausea, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, and neurological problems, among others.
Government bias, Hudak and Wallack argue, should not stand in the way. "The proper role of government, we would argue, would be to fund science without imposing answers to scientific questions," they write.
Greater research is an issue that people on both side of the marijuana debate should support, the paper concludes.
"If you believe that cannabis is an elixir that can be used to treat a variety of ailments with very few side effects or risks of overdose, then you should support the scientific community validating your perspective," it states. "Alternatively, if you believe cannabis is a gateway drug, inappropriate for pharmaceutical (or any) use because it is a source of addiction and has no medicinal value, then you should also support a scientific validation of your views. Finally, if you believe cannabis' medicinal value is an open, unanswered, empirical question, then you should embrace the medical community's ability to provide definitive evidence."

Attorney Plotting 'Legal Takedown' of CNN For 'Fake News'
Rachel StockmanAug 25th, 2017, 1:14 pm
A group, headed by Ohio attorney Joni Turner, is organizing a class action civil lawsuit which they claim will be a "legal takedown" of CNN for "defaming," and spreading "fake news." Turner announced the effort on Periscope, and has since set up a website asking for class action members to sign up. #OurTakeDown claims that "it is time to hold CNN accountable."
Within a few hours of launching the website, Turner said she already had 621 people sign up to be part of the class action.
"I am using every avenue available to Legally go after CNN for using their "Fake" News Platform to 'Defame' "Bully" "Target" and "Destroy" Conservative Americans," Turner wrote.
https://t.co/gnu9N9JmGj
— Joni Turner (@joniturnerlaw) August 25, 2017
In a Periscope video that was watched by thousands, she told her viewers that she was rooting for CNN to say "worse things," especially taking aim at Don Lemon for his reporting. She said that after a lot of research, she has determined that they may have violated a number of laws including 18 USC 2385 by advocating the overthrow of the government.
"What do you think Kathy Griffin holding the bloody head of Donald Trump meant?" Turner said. "That was a CNN independent contractor that they keep on their payroll that was advocating the beheading in the Islamic terrorist way of beheading … she knew what she was doing." CNN has since cut ties with Griffin, who apologized for a joke that she admitted "crossed the line." The Secret Service reportedly investigated the situation, but "completely exonerated" her and "closed the case."
As for any legal case against CNN, Ms. Jones will likely have a tough time, as commentary and opinion (especially comedy) has generally been protected by the First Amendment and through plenty of Supreme Court case law.
Since joining Periscope eight days ago, Turner has garnered more than 150,000 likes, and has been watched by thousands. LawNewz.com confirmed she is an attorney in the State of Ohio with an active bar license. According to records, Turner had her license suspended in 2003, and again in 2006. We reached out to her for comment, and will update this article when we get it.

Getting around Spain: Transportation Tips
ROUGHGUIDES.COM /EUROPE / SPAIN / GETTING-AROUND
Most of Spain is well covered by public transport. The rail network reaches all the provincial capitals and the main towns along the inter-city lines, and there's an expanding high-speed network that has slashed journey times on major cross-country routes from Madrid. Inter-city bus services are often more frequent and cheaper than the regular trains, and will usually take you closer to your destination, as some train stations are a few kilometres from the town or village they serve. Driving a car, meanwhile, will give you the freedom to head away from the major tourist routes and take in some of the spectacular scenery at your own pace.
Ferries and planes
Spain's ten best drives
One important point to remember is that all public transport, and the bus service especially, is drastically reduced on Sundays and public holidays – don't even consider travelling to out-of-the-way places on these days. The words to look out for on timetables are diario (daily), laborables (workdays, including Sat), and domingos y festivos (Sun and public hols).
Spanish trains, operated by RENFE (902 320 320, renfe.com), tend to be efficient and comfortable, and nearly always run on time. There's a confusing array of services, though the website has a useful English-language version on which you can check timetables and even buy tickets with a credit card (printing them out at home before you travel).
Cercanías are local commuter trains in and around the major cities, while media distancia (regional) and larga distancia (long-distance) trains go under a bewildering number of names, including Avant, Alaris, Intercity (IC), Regional and Talgo services. The difference is speed, service and number of stops, and you'll always pay more on the quickest routes (sometimes quite a lot more).
The premier services are the high-speed trains, such as the Euromed from Barcelona to Alicante, or the fast-expanding AVE (Alta Velocidad Española) network from Madrid to Seville, Málaga, Valencia, Segovia/Valladolid, Zaragoza, Barcelona and Huesca; and from Barcelona to Seville and Málaga. The AVE trains have cut travelling times dramatically, with Madrid to Seville, for example, taking two and a half hours compared with six to nine hours on the slower trains. The AVE network is set to expand right across the peninsula over the next decade, northeast to the French border, northwest to Castilla y León, the Basque Country and Asturias, and west to Lisbon in Portugal.
Tickets, fares and rail passes
Although you can just turn up at the station for short hops, advance booking is essential (and seat reservations obligatory) for long-distance journeys. Advance tickets can be bought at the stations between sixty days and five minutes before departure, but don't leave it to the last minute, as there are usually long queues (and often separate windows for the different types of train). Automatic ticket machines at main stations take some of the hassle out of queuing.
The best deals are always available online on the RENFE website, where "Web" and "Estrella" fares offer discounts of up to sixty percent on the full fares. Otherwise, return fares (ida y vuelta) are discounted by ten to twenty percent, depending on the service – you can buy a single, and so long as you show it when you buy the return, you'll still get the discount. There's also a whole range of other discounted fares of between 25 and 40 percent for those over 60 or under 26, the disabled, and children aged 4 to 11 years.
Actual fares vary wildly, but as an example, you'll pay around €19 on the regional service from Madrid to Salamanca (2hr 40min trip), while on the Madrid to Barcelona route you could pay €45 for the overnight "Estrella" service (9hr 30min) or €120 on the high-speed AVE service (around 3hr).
The major pan-European rail passes (InterRail and Eurail) are only worth considering if you're visiting the country as part of a wider European tour. Both schemes also have single-country Spain rail passes available, which might be better value depending on your Spanish itinerary. The InterRail Spain Pass (interrailnet.com) is only available to European residents and allows three, four, six or eight days' train travel within one month, with under-26, second- and first-class versions available. For anyone else, Eurail (raileurope.com) has various Spain passes available, typically offering three days' travel in two months, again in various classes. You can check current prices on the websites, but bear in mind that it often works out cheaper to buy individual tickets in Spain as you need them, and it's certainly more convenient to be free to choose long-distance buses on some routes. All passes have to be bought before you leave home, and you'll still be liable for supplements and seat reservations on long-distance and high-speed trains.
Buses will probably meet most of your transport needs, especially if you're venturing away from the larger towns and cities. Many smaller villages and rural areas are only accessible by bus, almost always originating in the capital of their province. Services are pretty reliable, whether it's the two-buses-a-day school or market run or the regular services between major cities (the latter often far more conveniently scheduled than the equivalent train services). Fares are very reasonable, too: Madrid to León (3hr 30min), for example, costs around €23, Madrid to Santander (6hr) around €28. On inter-city runs, you'll usually be assigned a seat when you buy your ticket. Some destinations are served by more than one bus company, but main bus stations have posted timetables for all services (and, sometimes, someone who can speak English). Or you can check timetables on the company websites, which, while not always up-to-date, do at least give an idea of available services. Major companies like Alsa (alsa.es) and Avanzabus (avanzabus.com) have nationwide services, and both have English-language versions of their websites.
There are only a few cities in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, for example) where you'll need to use the local bus network, and all the relevant details are given in the accounts. You'll also sometimes need to take a local bus out to a campsite or distant museum or monastery; fares are very cheap, rarely more than a euro or two.
Spain has an extensive system of highways, both free and with tolls. The autopistas are the most comfortable and best-kept roads. The second-grade roads, autovías, often follow similar routes, but their speed limits are lower. Many autopistas and some autovías are toll roads, relatively expensive by local standards but worth paying for the lighter traffic encountered. You can usually pay with a credit card, although it's wise to have enough cash just in case. Toll roads are usually designated by an "AP" or "R" or the word "peaje".
The Spanish drive on the right, and speed limits are enforced throughout the country. On most autopistas it is 120kph, on the autovía 90kph, and in towns and villages 50kph. Police have the power to fine drivers on the spot for speeding or any other transgressions, and if you don't have any cash, they will escort you to the nearest cash machine and issue you with a receipt there and then. You can pay by credit card at most petrol stations for fuel (gasolina), the main companies being Cepsa and Repsol.
An EU driver's licence is sufficient to drive in Spain. US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand licences should also be enough, though you may want to get an International Driver's Licence as well, just to be on the safe side. If you are bringing your own car, you will need your vehicle registration and insurance papers – and check with your insurers that you are covered to drive the car abroad. It's also compulsory to carry two hazard triangles, reflective jackets in case of accident or breakdown, an official first-aid kit and a set of spare bulbs. Rear seat belts are also compulsory, as are child seats for infants.
Parking can be a big pain in the neck, especially in big cities and old-town areas. Metered parking zones usually have stays limited to a couple of hours, though parking between 8pm and 8am, on Saturday afternoons and all Sundays tends to be free. Green or blue bays signify pay-parking areas in most cities, but it's always worth double-checking that you're allowed to park where you've just left your car, as any illegally parked vehicle will be promptly towed. Some cities (like Granada) have also introduced old-town congestion charges, which you might unwittingly trigger as a casual visitor. It's nearly always best to pay extra for a hotel with parking or use a pay car park, for which you'll need to budget anything from €12 to €20 a day.
Car rental is cheapest arranged in advance through one of the large multinational agencies (Rentalcars, Avis, Budget, EasyCar, Europcar, Hertz, Holiday Autos, National or Thrifty, for example). There are hundreds of pick-up offices in Spain, including regional airports and major train stations. Rates start from around £140/$200 a week for a two-door Renault Clio or similar, more for larger vehicles and in peak holiday periods. Local Spanish companies (such as Pepecar; pepecar.com) can sometimes offer better value for money.
You'll need to be 21 or over (and have been driving for at least a year) to rent a car in Spain. It's essential to check that you have adequate insurance cover for your rental car, and that all visible damage on a car you're picking up is duly marked on the rental sheet. It's definitely worth considering paying the extra charge to reduce the "excess" payment levied for any damage, but these waiver charges (by the day) soon add up. However, you can avoid all excess charges in the event of damage by taking out an annual insurance policy (from £37.99) with insurance4carhire.com, which also covers windscreen and tyre damage.
Bike rental is not common, save in resort areas or in tourist-oriented cities such as Barcelona and Madrid, where you can expect to pay up to €20 a day, or around €25 for a half-day bike tour. Barcelona, Seville and some other cities also have bike-transit schemes, where you join (by paying a deposit) and then pick up bikes (free or low-cost) to ride around the city from one depot to another. However, dedicated cycle paths are rare (again, Barcelona is an exception), and cycling around most major Spanish cities can be a hair-raising, if not downright dangerous business.
Outside towns and cities, cycling is a great way to see parts of the country that might otherwise pass you by, though bear in mind that Spain is one of the most mountainous countries in Europe and there are often searing high-summer temperatures with which to contend. You also need to be extremely careful on the road (single file only, at all times), since Spanish drivers don't generally expect to see cyclists and don't take much care when they do. Off-road biking is a far better idea, and increasing numbers of mountain-bikers are taking to the trails in national parks or following long-distance routes like the Camino de Santiago.
Anyone heading from the Spanish mainland to the Balearic Islands will probably do so by ferry or catamaran express ferry (from Alicante, Barcelona, Dénia or Valencia) – all the details are in the relevant city and island chapters. However, there's also an extensive network of internal Spanish flights, including to and between the Balearics, with Iberia (iberia.com), Spanair (spanair.com) and other smaller operators. These can be worth it if you're in a hurry and need to cross the entire peninsula, or if you can snap up a bargain web fare, but otherwise tourists rarely use flights to get around Spain. The main exception has always been Europe's busiest air route, that between Madrid and Barcelona, though this is now facing stiff competition from the high-speed AVE train, which is comparable in overall centre-to-centre journey time, and often cheaper.
There are some fantastic driving routes in this land of big scenery, big horizons and big surprises – here's our choice of Spain's best drives.

Bookless libraries are fast becoming more popular than reading or checking out books at our local public libraries. The sad contemplation of it all seems that millennials are losing their chances on reliving the other generation experiences, when people actually wanted to read a paper book instead of reading it on an electronic reader, like Kindles, iPads or Nooks.
Many think that this is a soulless shiny plow that will allow passing fads like libraries to slowly roll along, but Libraries have always been the esteemed place to study, learn a new skill or meet friends. It is both safe and rewarding. Plus, it is quiet and calm, which is exactly what you need to concentrate while reading.
If bookless libraries do become the norm in today's society, it will drive millennials inside their homes instead of being amongst society or being out there reading. There is no doubt that millennials can read in their rooms, but having other peers around them will not only make it worthwhile but feel like belonging somewhere, which is something so important in this depressed youth era we live in.
Many advocates for the saving of the libraries are currently petitioning against having bookless libraries and this is either driving those on the edge or sick. Once it has broken ground, bookless libraries will replace public libraries and make more and more people from every generation to witness the atrocity it would be like losing the place, which stood for a place to have in common with others, especially when reading classic literature and modern gems and discussing them.
Sadly, Public libraries are slowly becoming extinct. This leaves us with questions like where can one gather in a culture and safe environment to do nothing other than to study and read a nice book? Public libraries have been there for word collectors, researchers, archivist and grammar nerds everywhere for hundreds and hundreds of years. Think about what we will be losing.
Humorously, public libraries have always had that one annoying librarian – Rather you often go to the library, or happened to go once, I bet you know what I mean. Soon, even this human interactions will be replaced by computers that proctor our exams or help with homework assignments.
It is sad to see it all break apart with bookless libraries as the new norm. In what direction can we go? Can it be contained? It all depends on Millennials to oppose to those that are trying to ruin it and make it their everyday cause!

Disney has provided a first look at their highly anticipated video streaming service that is set to take on global streaming leaders Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Disney Plus will roll out in the US initially on November 12 at a price of 6.99 dollars per month, or 69.99 dollars per year. The service's lineup will cover five categories of content from Disney's major entertainment brands: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic. Release dates for other regions including the Middle East have not been announced.
Disney has been working behind the scenes for more than a year to launch the service which will be called Disney Plus. The recently completed acquisition of 20th Century Fox assets allows the global media giant to focus all its resources on entering the streaming video on demand market.
Thursday's press conference provided the first glimpse of the offerring the media & entertainment powerhouse has planned to take on Netflix and a formidable cast of competitors, including Amazon, HBO Go and Starz, as well as a large number of niche services and regional SVOD players around the world.
New shows which will already be available with the launch include The Mandalorian, the first live-action Star Wars episodic series, directed by Jon Favreau; a prequel to the Star Wars film Rogue One, starring Diego Luna; a series based on the Marvel character Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston; and a new documentary series focused on Disney.
While Disney ramp up their slate of original programming, Disney Plus will also be able to draw upon a library of beloved films owned by the various studios and production companies it controls. Disney's large selection of animated classics like Aladdin and The Jungle Book, will be available on the service when it launches.
Chief executive Bob Iger said Disney is approaching the streaming industry from a "position of strength, confidence and unbridled optimism." Although Disney has an enviable track record of producing shows and films that attract huge audiences, its attempt to build its own Netflix is risky.
With a budget of tens of billions of dollars, Netflix already has build up a much deeper original programming lineup during the past few years.
Disney has ended all content licensing agreements with Netflix foregoing millions in short term revenue to build it's own direct to consumer service. Disney said it will continue to give their major films a theatrical release, unlike Netflix which is disrupting the cinema industry by releasing their blockbuster productions just days after a theatrical release.
Going forward, Disney movies set to release in 2019 will be streamed only on Disney Plus. That includes Captain Marvel, which came out earlier this year; Avengers: Endgame, which releases in late April; Upcoming marquee films like the live-action remakes of The Lion King and Aladdin, Toy Story 4, and Star Wars Episode IX.
Disney will also have to deal with a new streaming competitor in the form of Apple TV, which is expected to be released in the fall. Apple has not yet revealed how much its service will cost.

Trump's personal attorney has a history of taking aim at reporters' anonymous sources

Charles Harder, a personal attorney for Donald Trump and his family, has sued or subpoenaed reporters on behalf of clients those reporters wrote about.
Harder's efforts frequently focused on the reporters' anonymous sources, and sometimes sought information that could be used to identify them.
Donald Trump has denounced journalists who rely on anonymous sources, but refrained from actually suing them while president.
Press freedom advocates are divided over whether Harder's tactics threaten the First Amendment.
Donald Trump's clashes with the press have come to define his presidency. He blasts the "fake news media" as an "enemy of the people," and stages confrontations with individual journalists while threatening libel lawsuits against them. But few incidents have caused more angst and controversy than the president's repeated attempts to expose the anonymous sources of reporters who cover him. As White House leaks continue to embarrass and hamper Trump's administration, the odds of a legal showdown are likely to rise.
This possibility is not theoretical. In 2006, Trump sued a New York Times reporter, and sought to identify three of his sources, after that reporter said Trump dramatically exaggerated his wealth. (On Thursday, the Washington Post published a detailed investigation about the same pattern of embellishment.) And, over the past three years, the president has engaged a private attorney, Charles Harder of Beverly Hills, with a history of representing clients who sued or subpoenaed journalists. In court filings, some of those journalists said Harder sought information that could be used to identify their anonymous sources.
This account of Harder's work for private clients is based on more than a thousand pages of court documents reviewed by INSIDER. They show that, in the past three years, in five different states, Harder has tested a variety of litigation strategies, including defamation lawsuits and subpoenas, against at least four journalists who relied on anonymous sources.
Harder has worked for the Trump family since 2016. He represented First Lady Melania Trump when she sued The Daily Mail over a retracted article that implied she used to work as an "escort," and advised Trump himself when adult film actress Stormy Daniels sued him for defamation last year. Harder prevailed in both cases. He's also served as a spokesperson for matters unrelated to Trump's office, such as his family's real estate business.
Trump "likes Charles, [and] has a great deal of respect for his toughness and ability," a White House official told INSIDER.
Harder declined to discuss his work for private clients, but defended his tactics in a statement to INSIDER. "If reporters and their publications would like to avoid lawsuits and depositions, then they should follow the defamation laws and report truthful information in a fair and accurate way," he said. "Harder LLP would be happy to stop filing defamation lawsuits, if reporters and others would simply follow the law."
Harder began pursuing information about anonymous sources months before Trump hired him
Harder entered the public spotlight in March 2016, after he won a $141 million judgment against Gawker over a 2012 article that contained descriptions and excerpts of a sex tape depicting the professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. Harder's work for Hogan was secretly funded by the billionaire Peter Thiel, who objected to Gawker's coverage of him and his Silicon Valley peers. (I worked for Gawker between August 2013 and August 2016, when the site shut down after its parent company filed for bankruptcy as a result of the judgment. I attended the trial in Florida, but was not involved in the case.)
Soon after the Hogan verdict, Harder took on two clients who claimed reporters had used anonymous sources to falsely implicate them in financial fraud.
The first client, a Florida investor named Barry Honig, hired Harder to help him sue the financial journalist Teri Buhl for libel and tortious interference, after she reported SEC investigators had subpoenaed a company in which Honig invested. Harder filed the suit in September 2016, the same month he began representing Melania Trump.
Harder did not target Buhl's sources directly. Instead, he told a New York judge that his client planned to seek information, through pre-trial discovery, about the basis of Buhl's reporting and her "journalistic standards, procedures and ethics." Buhl's attorney warned the same judge that such a request "may implicate confidential sources of a journalist."
Honig dismissed the case, without Buhl revealing her sources, in February 2017. But less than a month later, Honig sued her again, and a director of the company Buhl had written about, in North Carolina, where that company has an office. The second lawsuit claimed the director had conspired with Buhl to defame Honig, and was settled out of court in January 2018. Honig didn't respond to requests for comment.
Eight months later, in September, the SEC charged Honig and nine other individuals with allegations of defrauding investors of $27 million. The relationship between Buhl's reporting, and the substance of the SEC complaint, is not exactly clear. However, one of the nine other defendants is Robert Ladd, the same director Honig sued in North Carolina. Ladd didn't respond to requests for comment.
The second client, an Arizona investor named John J. Hurry, hired Harder in November 2016 for a lawsuit against William Meagher, a journalist for the financial trade publication The Deal. Meagher had written about Hurry's investment firm and its ongoing battle with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Harder sued Meagher in New Hampshire, and served him with a subpoena for Hurry's separate lawsuit against FINRA in Arizona, where his firm is based.
The Arizona subpoena explicitly targeted information about Meagher's anonymous sources, by seeking "all writings constituting communications between you, and any source of information related to the plaintiffs" for several stories Meagher published between 2013 and 2014.
The New Hampshire lawsuit, by contrast, did not address the question of who communicated with Meagher. But attorneys for the journalist told the assigned judge that the lawsuit nonetheless belonged to an "opportunistic and retaliatory campaign of litigation gamesmanship" aimed at revealing their client's sources. They cited an earlier lawsuit Hurry had filed against Meagher, with a different attorney, and abandoned before Meagher was able to respond.
That lawsuit, filed in New York in September 2016, made claims similar to those of the subsequent lawsuit in New Hampshire. One difference: The New York complaint listed "John Does 1-30" as unnamed defendants — a category including "persons who provided false information to The Deal, Meagher and other defendants" — and asserted "the identity of such sources would not be protected by the [New York State] 'shield' laws."
No such language appeared in the New Hampshire lawsuit. Even so, Meagher's attorneys said that action, in light of the subpoena in Arizona and the aborted lawsuit in New York, was designed to pressure Meagher into coughing up his contacts. "This entire lawsuit is merely a pretext for forcing Defendants to reveal confidential source(s) because that information might prove useful in advancing an entirely separate lawsuit in Arizona," they wrote.
After the New Hampshire lawsuit failed on procedural grounds — because neither party had any obvious connection to the Granite State — Harder and Hurry decided to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Boston. In a brief filed there, Meagher's attorneys accused Hurry and his firm of conducting a "campaign of harassment" against the journalist. In April 2018, a panel of three appellate judges, including the retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter, upheld the lower court's ruling.
The Arizona subpoena met a similar fate, but for a different reason. A federal judge in California, where Meagher resides, agreed to quash it after Meagher and The Deal argued that it "represents an impermissible intrusion upon Meagher's right to safeguard the anonymity of his sources." The Deal and Meagher declined to comment, but the latter recently said on Twitter that the lawsuit exerted a "chilling effect [that] is dangerous to the free press." Hurry didn't respond to requests for comment.
Harder suing an individual journalist on Trump's behalf may seem unlikely — but it would be perfectly legal
There is no law in the United States that bars a sitting president from suing a private citizen. "The ability to sue people for wrongs done to you is an important legal right, and people don't lose it just because they get elected to high office," said Eugene Volokh, who teaches law at UCLA.
Harder would be constrained by a variety of state-level shield laws designed to protect journalists and their sources. There is no equivalent shield law on the federal level, however, and certain aspects of existing shield laws remain untested.
The Supreme Court has never clarified the form or breadth of any reporter's privilege; its sole ruling on anonymous sources found reporters can be forced to reveal them to a grand jury in a criminal trial. How the current high court would rule on the same question in a civil lawsuit remains an open question.
Even if Harder's attempts prove unsuccessful, they send an unmistakable signal to reporters and potential sources about what they could face in a suit involving Harder.
"Suing for defamation and aggressively pursuing discovery of confidential sources can certainly be used preemptively to chill both the sources providing information to reporters and further reporting on their allegations," said Lyrissa Lidsky, a First Amendment scholar and the dean of the University of Missouri School of Law.
Harder continues to test new tactics
Two recent cases suggest Harder remains interested in pursuing the identities of anonymous sources. In February 2018, Harder petitioned a New York judge for permission to depose Mark Maurer, a former reporter for the real estate trade publication The Real Deal, over his coverage of Harder's client, Yoron Cohen. The real estate businessman had accused his former employer of leaking false information about his job performance to Maurer.
While Harder didn't explicitly request the names of Maurer's sources, attorneys for the journalist argued that his proposed questions, which focused on how Maurer characterized his sources, nonetheless pertained to privileged information about his reporting methods (which could, in turn, be used to identify his sources). The court sided with Maurer, and Cohen and his former employer later settled out of court. Both The Real Deal and Maurer declined to comment. Cohen didn't respond to requests for comment.
In the most recent case, from April 2018, Harder subpoenaed Danny Fortson, a reporter for The Sunday Times who is based in San Francisco, for documents and testimony concerning Fortson's coverage of a legal dispute, currently unfolding in the United Kingdom, between a British mining company and its former law firm.
The subpoena, approved by a California judge, sought to confirm the law firm had provided Fortson with a confidential letter intended for the mining company. Fortson refused to comply, citing the First Amendment's reporters' privilege and shield laws in California, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Harder has not yet filed a response, and Fortson and The Sunday Times declined to comment.
Harder's tactics pose a dilemma to First Amendment advocates, who may be reluctant to criticize a legal system that tends to favor press freedom
"Representing people in cases that, overall, are bad for society or bad for the First Amendment landscape as a whole, isn't unethical as a legal matter," said Katie Townsend, the legal director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. "Do I agree with what Charles Harder does? No. Would I want to do that kind of work? Absolutely not. But I can't say that he's doing anything, as a lawyer, that's improper."
Jasmine McNealy, a media law professor at the University of Florida, highlighted the tension between the media's interest in protecting sources and the legal profession's advocacy for their clientele.
"There are very real reasons that a journalist would want to keep their sources confidential," she told INSIDER. "Sources help to make the news, and in some cases, without the information sources provide, important stories would never have become public." She allowed, however, that "a good attorney will try whatever they can to get information that will assist them in winning the case for their client."
Buhl, whom the attorney sued twice, believes Harder "is encouraging clients to use litigation as a tactic to discourage other whistleblowers from coming forward out of fear the court will force a journalist to reveal sources."
"I think it's clear he has no respect for a free press," she added.
It remains to be seen whether Harder will file a lawsuit against a reporter covering his most famous client. Filing such a claim would commit the president to a legal process he may not win. It would also instigate yet another dramatic confrontation between the White House and the media, and broach fundamental questions about where press freedom begins and ends.
In the meantime, the president's attorney remains undeterred. "Reporters are required by law (and should be required) to answer questions about their motives," he told INSIDER. In the same statement, he asked: "Do you believe that all defamation laws should be stricken from the books, and people should be allowed to say anything at all they want about others, no matter how false and harmful, with no repercussions whatsoever?"

Overcoming Hurdles To Eradicate Tuberculosis in Cattle
Veterinary medical officers Ray Waters (left) and Mitch Palmer prepare to collect blood to be used in developing improved tests for tuberculosis in cattle. The USDA bovine tuberculosis eradication campaign began in 1917 and continues today. Tuberculin skin testing of cattle has been effective in reducing the incidence of tuberculosis in U.S. cattle, but more tools are needed for complete eradication.
Although the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis (TB) is low in the United States, the bacterial disease can still infect cattle, wildlife, and humans. Complete eradication is not likely as long as Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine TB, exists in wildlife, which can transmit the bacteria to cattle, and as long as available tests cannot accurately detect all TB-positive cattle from Mexico before they are imported.
Scientists in the Infectious Bacterial Diseases Research Unit at the Agricultural Research Service's National Animal Disease Center (NADC) are collaborating with international partners, the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, industry, and private companies to develop new methods to prevent and control TB in cattle and wild white-tailed deer in the United States.
Other countries with wildlife reservoirs of TB have been unable to eradicate the disease from cattle. Research to help control the disease targets wild boars in Spain, brushtail possums in New Zealand, and badgers in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Strategies for both U.S. and international scientists include developing and improving TB tests and finding effective methods like vaccination to stop the spread of the disease.
Widespread pasteurization of milk, development of a diagnostic tuberculin skin test for cattle, and establishment of an eradication program by the U.S. Department of Agriculture significantly helped decrease the incidence of bovine TB in humans in the United States.
In addition to skin testing, mandatory milk pasteurization and the establishment of a nationwide bovine tuberculosis eradication campaign have greatly reduced the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in both cattle and humans. (K11670-2)
Obstacles Are Skin Deep
Although the cattle skin test has helped eradication efforts, it has drawbacks.
"The test is not sensitive enough and requires a 72-hour waiting period for results," says NADC veterinary medical officer Mitch Palmer. "It's very difficult to test a herd of 100 cows and say that this one has TB and this one doesn't, because the test may not detect one or two animals that actually have TB."
A practice called "test and remove" is an option for farmers who have herds infected with TB, but the usual method is to euthanize all animals, even if only one has TB, Palmer says. A huge push is under way to develop a better test that will help producers identify and remove infected animals and keep those that are disease free.
Interferon-gamma-release assays, used to detect TB, are whole-blood tests that require live white blood cells to work. Fresh blood samples cannot get too hot and must be processed within 8-30 hours, which means getting samples to a lab in good condition within a reasonable timeframe, says NADC veterinary medical officer Ray Waters.
Tests that require only the liquid part of the blood—the serum—would be more convenient and less expensive, Waters says.
The problem is identifying antigens that are very specific and sensitive for use in serum tests, he says. An antigen is a substance—like foreign bacteria or viruses or matter within the body—that causes the immune system to produce antibodies against it.
Contributing to New Tests
Over the last 12 years, NADC scientists have shown that improved antigens, such as one known as "MPB83," are crucial in developing effective assays, Waters says. These findings have played a key role in a new serum TB diagnostic test, developed by IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.
Wildlife can carry tuberculosis and spread the disease to cattle.
The test has been added to the World Organization for Animal Health registry and licensed by USDA's Center for Veterinary Biologics. It was created using IDEXX's proven enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method and based on NADC's research that shows MPB83 is a useful antigen for bovine TB antibody-based tests.
"This was a team effort," Waters says. "IDEXX used samples from our experimental infection trials, and we helped the company validate and optimize the test. We then assisted with a worldwide field analysis with colleagues in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Ireland to verify the test's sensitivity and specificity."
"The ELISA format involves testing the animal's serum to see if it has antibodies that will react to certain components of the bacteria," Palmer says. "In addition to providing the animals, we discussed what antibodies might be best to look for, based on findings in our lab and others and on the general immune response of cattle to infection with M. bovis."
This test is more convenient and could potentially be used in combination with skin and interferon-gamma tests to identify undetected TB-infected animals, Waters says. "It's another tool in our diagnostic tool kit."
The serum test is available to countries that want to add it to their list of approved eradication-program tests. Until recently, the skin and interferon-gamma tests were the only approved tests for use on U.S. cattle, Waters adds. But the United States recently approved serum tests for use with samples from deer and elephants. Both tests were manufactured by Chembio Diagnostic Systems in close collaboration with Waters and Palmer. Even more recently, the IDEXX M. bovis ELISA test was approved for use with samples from cattle.

Keeping It Fresh
Another type of test—based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of DNA—has been developed by NADC microbiologist Tyler Thacker and his colleagues. The new PCR test detects M. bovis in fresh tissues rather than the traditionally fixed tissues prepared for viewing under a microscope. It helps distinguish between M. bovis and environmental mycobacteria that can cause false-positive outcomes.
"The objective was to be able to confirm M. bovis in fresh tissue to speed up the process," Thacker says. "That way we wouldn't have to wait potentially 2 months for the bacterium to grow."
Thacker looked at different PCR assays and discovered that many also picked up mycobacteria that were not M. bovis.
The scientists developed a method to eliminate the environmental mycobacteria from test results. They sequenced a region of the bacterium's DNA and developed a real-time PCR probe to help distinguish between M. bovis and other mycobacteria. The newly developed assay was tested against 11 mycobacterial species commonly cultured from diagnostic samples. Specificity for detecting M. bovis was 100 percent and sensitivity was 67 percent in samples from 30 infected and 18 uninfected animals.
"The specificity of the new PCR is the most important result," Thacker says. "The fact that it's quicker than a traditional PCR is an added benefit."
A Century-Old Vaccine for Deer
For more than 100 years, the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine has proven to be safe and partially effective against TB in humans. The BCG vaccine was first tested in cows and showed protection against virulent M. bovis. Soon afterwards, it was used in humans and demonstrated protection against M. tuberculosis, the most common cause of TB in humans.
"Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, BCG seemed like a logical choice to try with deer," Palmer says. "We're looking at its efficacy in deer. Does it actually protect them? Are there any undesirable side effects? Is it safe to use in deer that may become food for hunters?"
Today, several different strains of BCG are used to vaccinate humans in countries where TB is still a problem. But BCG is not used in the United States, because people who are vaccinated with it might test positive when given a TB skin test, even if they don't have the disease.
"The concern wasn't that BCG was going to hurt people. It doesn't produce disease or cause an infection," Palmer explains. "The concern was that if a person ate venison from deer vaccinated with BCG and subsequently had a skin test for TB, the result might be a false positive."
NADC scientists conducted studies to find out how long BCG remains in tissues of vaccinated deer. A BCG oral bait vaccine, developed by New Zealand collaborators for the brushtail possum, was fed to captive deer at a standard dose and at 10 times the standard dose. Examination of deer 1 to 12 months after vaccination showed no traces of BCG in deer given a standard dose. But BCG was detected at 12 months in deer that received the elevated dose.
"Importantly, BCG vaccine was never found in common cuts of deer meat, regardless of whether it was given orally or by subcutaneous vaccination, in any of our safety experiments," Palmer says. "We've never found it in the muscle, but only in lymph nodes and other tissues that aren't commonly used for food by humans. So it seems to be safe to use in deer."
Although the BCG bait, which resembles a hard cookie, worked well for captive deer in Iowa, it did not appeal to wild white-tailed deer in Michigan.
Palmer and his team are collaborating with scientists at USDA's National Wildlife Research Center in Fort Collins, Colorado, to develop a new bait to deliver the BCG vaccine to deer. They are experimenting with apple, acorn, and peanut butter flavors in hopes that one of these will whet the appetite of wild deer and provide an effective vaccination delivery method.—By Sandra Avant, Agricultural Research Service Information Staff.

So what's worse -- lots of talk and no action or lots or action and no talk? Both have their downsides.
When it comes to decisions about water parks, carousels and Columbia Park, striking a balance between planning and performance has proved to be a difficult task.
That being said, it appears Kennewick and Richland are taking a smart approach toward planning for the west end of Columbia Park.


The old walls are down and the new ones are up along with 8 new welding booths. Major construction should be done by mid August and than the new equipment comes in. This is a great opportunity for kids to get a jump start in the field of manufacturing.


Quality Control Services | Custom Rubber Corp.
Custom Rubber Corp.'s quality commitment has led to 98% customer retention.
We believe our customer retention statistics are a measurement of the quality we deliver. The end results of that quality commitment are defect-free products delivered on time at a competitive price. Behind that result stands the committed team at Custom Rubber Corp. We put focus and energy into doing whatever it takes to satisfy a customer.
Custom Rubber Corp. is committed to using state of the art technology to help us deliver high quality products to our customers. In 2017 we began investing in visual inspection equipment, which is faster and more accurate than manual inspection, delivering more consistent quality to our customers faster - in line with our Mission of "Responsiveness ~ From Design to Delivery."
The R&D project began as a way to improve delivery and eliminate the possibility of quality rejections (of which there had been a few) for a high volume custom rubber grommet (3 million + per year). The project was implemented in steps, with the first step being a combination of a conveyor and an inspection camera (Keyance ®). After the camera system proved it could detect the defects, a bowl feeder/part orienter was added along with a conveyor belt overlay which integrates the blow off for bad pieces, separated the rubber grommets, and directed them under the camera.
During this time, there was another, similarly-sized rubber coated sealing washer that's volume increased along with the manual inspection time. With some in-house modifications, the bowl feeder was adapted so that it could feed both the rubber grommet and the rubber sealing washer. The conveyor belt was upgraded to a magnetic belt in order to detect rubber sealing washers that were missing a washer.
To handle the rubber sealing washer, a second camera was added so the system could inspect both sides of the part and a flipping feature was incorporated into the overlay that separated and directed the washers past the two cameras.
After successful completion of the vision inspection system, Custom Rubber Corp. started using inspection cameras in the molding process to detect placement problems with metal inserts - before the mold is closed. This reduces/eliminates bad parts, and has eliminated mold damage caused by misplaced inserts.
The cameras are setup to look into the press and when the "start cycle" button is pushed, the camera compares what it sees to an acceptable picture in memory and either allows the machine to close and cycle or stops the cycle. The machine operator has the opportunity to fix a misplaced insert or add a missing insert before starting the cycle.
As a results of the implementation of the in-mold camera system, Custom Rubber Corp. is able to avoid/stop mold damage before it occurs multiple times per month. If your part is overmolded rubber, Custom Rubber Corp. has the equipment and investment in technology to take care of your mold and ensure excellent quality.


DirectFlex and Flash 10 : what's next ?
My first post was about the 3D Flash library I'm currently working on : DirectFlex. As I said, it is not a simple 3D engine but a full 3D API like DirectX or OpenGL. As Flash 10 is likely to be available when the first public version of DirectFlex will be released, I decided to rewrite the API's core to take advantage of the new 3D mathematics classes and the hardware acceleration features. This is actually the third time that DirectFlex is entirely rewritten from scratch… but time after time the quality of the work and the performances have improved a lot.
Adobe has published some interesting stats about the Flash Player penetration rate.

In his book "The Airbnb Way," author Joseph Michelli interviewed hundreds of hosts and guests in 11 countries
As a result, he believes any business can learn from five key principles
These principles include belonging, trust, hospitality, empowerment, and community
When it comes to knowing what customers want, just ask Joseph Michelli. After all, the psychologist-turned-author has already delved into what makes Starbucks, Zappos, and other customer-centric companies tick.
While writing his latest book, "The Airbnb Way," Michelli and his four-person team interviewed hundreds of hosts and guests in 11 countries. Their research also included stays in treehouses, yurts, and dozens of other listings on Airbnb. Two years later, Michelli now believes any business can learn from five key principles: belonging, trust, hospitality, empowerment, and community.
In this Q&A with Airbnb, Michelli reveals some of the top hospitality tips, moments of belonging, and entrepreneurial secrets that he learned along the way.
[Editor's Note: This interview has been edited and condensed for length and clarity.]
Airbnb: Of all the companies you could've focused on after writing about Starbucks and Zappos, why Airbnb?
Joseph Michelli: "First and foremost, Airbnb is the 21st century. It's the company to study and understand where human experiences are going now and into the future. I've been blessed to work with some amazing companies, with Mercedes-Benz being the last one. It was time to take a different look at business. At some point in my career, I wrote about the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, which I think has been the gold standard for high-end hospitality for some time, so it was exciting to tell a story of the current and future [of hospitality]."
Airbnb: What's the one principle from your book that you hope a host will adopt first?
Michelli: "For me, belonging is at the center of Airbnb. It is a differentiator [and] a human need ... I love how Airbnb designs for trust, but if [hosts] did nothing else but create belonging in every instance, trust would follow. Then you build community. I think belonging is the root of it all."
Airbnb: You write about how you and your wife "even imagined what it would be like to live near [Superhosts] Dan and Deborah." Can you talk more about that?
Michelli: "Not only did we stay in [Dan and Deborah's 'Danville' listings in Geneva, Florida], but prior to the book's launch, I brought my entire team to Danville, [which includes an airplane hangar, treehouse, and yurt]. I wanted to share it with my team, then you kind of worry, "Will it [be a] letdown?" But it certainly was not. It was very much the same as when I was writing the book …
Airbnb: You also dedicate a chapter to examining how Airbnb aims to create economic opportunities for hosts globally. Why did you name this section as empowerment rather than entrepreneurship?
Michelli: "Whether they think of themselves as being in business or making a small space available to somebody, I think a lot of people who are [hosting on] Airbnb may not think of themselves as entrepreneurs. [I chose the word empowerment], because the property is a source of power for people."
Airbnb: You and your team interviewed about 300 hosts, with ages ranging from 24 to 75. Of the 45% who are running their listings like small businesses, what did you notice about newer hosts who might've struggled at first but who ultimately kept going?
Michelli: "I think part of it is perseverance. Airbnb is really good at encouraging people to constantly challenge their mindset … A lot of the people I talked to have really understood that this is a process to learn, that not many people were born to be successful in business, and you really do need to learn the steps, humble yourself, and get support. We were surprised by how many people were plugged into their local networks … It's being connected to people who are in the throes of the same challenges. I was struck by a couple who are at the hub of their community. They are so plugged into thinking, 'How do we cause all businesses to succeed in our area? How do we make our community stronger?'"
Airbnb: Are there any clear signs of when to make that leap from side gig to small business?
Michelli: "I think a lot of them did talk about tipping points, dipping their toe in the water to see if this was right for them. They experienced it, and it was far more gratifying than they thought. Any fears they might have had preliminarily were overshadowed … I see that's the evolution of moving toward a more strategic business. As for when you go from a side gig? A host might wonder: 'Well, it's making good money. Are my other sources of income as gratifying? Does it give me the personal lifestyle control that I get from Airbnb? What else is possible?' Once those questions start to line up, I think there is a tipping point that says, 'This is my job. This is not just a side gig anymore.'"
Airbnb: Did you come across any tips for coping with—or better yet, preventing—hosting fatigue?
Michelli: "We talked to hosts who told us that they needed to take time away. Hosting—as rewarding as it is—is a demanding process. You need to be emotionally present with people to host them, to welcome them. It takes a great deal of energy to host and not just open your place up to somebody. Hosts said as soon they could, they found people who they could occasionally offload [routine tasks] to or partner with so they could get away—that was essential to them. A lot said traveling themselves and being hosted was one of the things that helped them with not just feeling like they were on one side of the transaction."
Airbnb: Your team also talked to about 300 guests. Is there a gap between what guests want and what hosts think that guests want?
Michelli: "If you are a super good host, I think you are probably really plugged into what guests want, and you're delivering it. But I think not every guest wants the same thing and that's probably pretty important. In the book, we talk about using Danny Meyer's example of reading the invisible signs. (An invisible sign could be showing you care about me by leaving me to myself … It's that level of how much involvement you want to have with the host.)
"Most of the time hosts (and guests) want a clean environment, and they want someone to care that they're there. And how that's demonstrated varies, but I think they want people to be responsive and to try to guide them … It's why they think many hotels have lost their souls, and there's an absence of human connection. I think most hosts get it."
Airbnb: Any last takeaways?
Michelli: "At a macro level, I think hosting may be one of the most noble things we can do. In a world where there is a lot of division, hostility, and cynicism, I think being able to welcome people into an environment we've created for them—and doing so without prejudice and judgment, hopefully learning from and sharing with others—is an incredibly noble phenomenon. I think meeting hosts changed my own perspective of some of the news I watch in the evening. If only more host stories could be told to counterbalance the more cynical view that we take on the world, we'd be better off. That's what I came away with in this whole journey. It wasn't my intent to better myself, but I really did feel like I got a great gift in the writing of this book."

Swollen Lip Causes And Treatment
Full lips may be popular among Hollywood stars, but for the rest of us, swollen lips can be symptomatic of a problem. Lips usually swell due to trauma or allergies, although some causes are more serious. How quickly a swollen lip heals can indicate the cause of the swelling.
What Happens When Your Lips Swell?
Lips swell when the blood vessels that supply them fill with blood. The structure of the lips includes the thin, delicate skin that covers the outside, and the muscle that lies underneath, which is filled with veins. The final, inner layer of the lips is called the oral mucosa; it forms part of the mucous membrane that lines the mouth. When blood rushes to the lips in response to trauma, allergic reaction or inflammation, this makes the lips swell.
Swollen Lips and Injuries
Even minor trauma (such as sports injuries) that doesn't break the skin can cause the lips to swell. Moreover, it's easy to hurt your lips by bumping into things or through other minor accidents. Although the swelling usually subsides without treatment, it can also hide other injuries, like cuts and abrasions that can become inflamed or make chewing and speaking difficult.
Swollen Lips and Allergic Reactions
Pollen, medications, dyes and certain trigger foods and drinks can cause allergic reactions that include swollen lips. When the body experiences an allergic reaction, it produces histamine. This compound causes the blood vessels in the lips to swell. Other symptoms of an allergic reaction are red, itchy welts known as hives, a swollen or tight throat, breathing difficulties, muscle pain, fever, and rashes or discoloured patches on the feet, genitals, hands or face.
Rare Swollen Lip Causes
When swollen lips have no obvious cause, they can be symptomatic of a rare condition. The University of Maryland Medical Center lists hereditary angioedema, leukemia and Hodgkin's Disease as a few uncommon causes of swollen lips. The swelling may also be due to MRSA lip cellulitis, as described in a publication of the University of Dentistry and Medicine of New Jersey, or granulomatous cheilitis, as mentioned in Clinical Advisor.
When to See a Doctor for Swollen Lips
Swollen lips often return to normal without treatment. However, if you also experience more serious symptoms, like breathing difficulties or heavy bleeding, seek immediate medical attention. If the swelling continues for more than a few days or is accompanied by pain or fever, you should also visit a doctor, as this may indicate a lip problem. Furthermore, see a doctor if the swelling has no clear cause or if it comes and goes for no apparent reason.
In less serious cases, you can use home treatments to help the swelling go down. When a mild allergic reaction is causing the swollen lip, it should be over within four days, especially if you use over-the-counter antihistamines. For minor cuts and abrasions inside the mouth, ask your dentist or doctor to recommend a mouthwash that facilitates healing, alleviates discomfort, and cleans the mouth.
Swollen lips are usually more inconvenient than serious, but if you have other, more severe symptoms, see a doctor right away. An allergic reaction can quickly turn life-threatening, and serious swelling can also be a sign of another harmful medical condition. In most cases, placing ice on the injury and keeping the area clean should heal your lips in no time.

What Are Sports Mouth Guards?
Learn about various sports mouth guards and how these different types of dental mouth guards are created.
The Facts About Mouth Guards
A mouth guard is made of soft plastic or laminate material that protects the teeth, lips, cheeks and tongue.
Any trauma to the mouth that may cause bleeding and lacerations to the gums, and dislodge or fracture teeth, and may require immediate medical attention.
Whether the result of an accident or biting on a piece of food that's too hard, mouth injuries can cause teeth to become cracked, broken, or knocked out/dislodged. It is important to see a dentist because if left untreated, a dental emergency can lead to serious complications.
Top Tips to Prevent DENTAL EMERGENCIES
Wear a mouthguard – if you're playing any contact sports, wearing a mouthguard can help protect your teeth from injury and trauma
Avoid hard foods and candies – to help protect your teeth from injury while eating, avoid biting hard candies and ice
