William Godwin
Previous (William Gladstone)
Next (William Golding)
William Godwin (March 3, 1756 – April 7, 1836) was an English journalist, political philosopher and novelist. He is considered one of the first exponents of utilitarianism, and one of the first modern proponents of anarchism. Godwin is most famous for two books that he published within the space of a year: An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, an Attack on Political Institutions, and Things as They Are and The Adventures of Caleb Williams, which attacked aristocratic privilege, and was also one of the first mystery thrillers. Based on the success of both, Godwin featured prominently in the radical circles of London in the 1790s.
Godwin held the optimistic view that every individual, as a rational being, had the capacity to achieve an elevated understanding of moral and political truth, which would then guide him to act for the greatest good. He believed that any form of government, or even of mutual cooperation with others, impinged on the individual's ability to freely exercise this judgment. Godwin's ideal was a society with no government at all, where all individuals would be motivated by their understanding of truth.

Godwin had considerable influence on British literature and literary culture. Godwin is also known as the husband of Mary Wollstonecraft (A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, 1792) and the father of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein.
Godwin was born March 3, 1756 at Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, England to John and Anne Godwin. Both parents belonged to the middle class, and it was probably only as a joke that he, a stern political reformer and philosophical radical, attempted to trace his pedigree to a time before the Norman Conquest to the great earl, Godwine. His parents were strict Calvinists. His father, a Nonconformist minister, died young, and never inspired love or much regret in his son; but in spite of wide differences of opinion, tender affection always subsisted between William Godwin and his mother, until her death at an advanced age. Godwin was a frail and intellectual child, brought up in an atmosphere of austere religiosity. One of his earliest memories was of composing a poem entitled, "I wish to be a minister." At the age of eleven he went to study with a Mr. Samuel Newton, the minister of an independent congregation in Norwich. Mr. Newton followed John Glas and Robert Sandeman (1718-1771), extreme Calvinists who scorned faith and taught that God saved or condemned a person solely according to the rightness or wrongness of their understanding. Godwin later described Glas as a "celebrated north country apostle, who, after Calvin had damned ninety-nine in a hundred of mankind, had contrived a scheme for damning ninety-nine in a hundred of the followers of Calvin."
In 1771 Godwin entered Hoxton Academy, where he studied under Andrew Kippis, the biographer, and Dr. Abraham Rees of the Cyclopaedia. In 1778 he took a post as a minister at Ware, then at Stowmarket and Beaconsfield. At Stowmarket he was introduced to Baron d'Holbach, Helvetius and Jean-Jacques Rousseau by a friend, Joseph Fawcet, who held strong British republican opinions. His religious beliefs underwent a change towards deism, and he fell out with his congregation and came to London in 1782, where his friends encouraged him to earn his living at writing.
Early Writing
His first published work was an anonymous Life of Lord Chatham (1783). He then published under his own name Sketches of History (1784), consisting of six sermons on the characters of Aaron, Hazael and Jesus, in which, though writing in the character of an orthodox Calvinist, he enunciates the proposition that "God Himself has no right to be a tyrant." Introduced by Andrew Kippis, he began to write in 1784 for the New Annual Register and other periodicals, producing also three novels. His main contributions for the Annual Register were Sketches of English History, yearly summaries of domestic and foreign political affairs. He joined a club called the "Revolutionists," and associated with Lord Stanhope, John Horne Tooke and Thomas Holcroft.
In the summer of 1791, at the height of the debate on the French Revolution, sparked by Edmund Burke 's Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), Godwin asked his publisher for an advance so that he could write a work summarizing recent developments in political philosophy. The work grew from its original conception and was eventually published in two volumes in February 1793 as An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice.
Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and Caleb Williams
Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, and its Influence on General Virtue and Happiness was an immediate success. The book made him an important figure in the radical literary and political circles of London and brought him into association with other established writers such as Elizabeth Inchbald, James Mackintosh, and Joseph Ritson, and a younger generation of enthusiasts, including William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Hazlitt. In May of 1774, his most successful novel, Things as They Are, or The Adventures of Caleb Williams was published. In October of that year, his friends Horne Tooke, Thomas Holcroft and John Thelwell were indicted for treason, and Godwin wrote Cursory Strictures on the Charge Delivered by Lord Chief Justice Eyre to the Grand Jury, October 2, 1794 where he forcefully argued that that the prosecution's concept of "constructive treason" allowed a judge to construe any behavior as treasonous. It paved the way for a major, but mostly moral, victory for the Jacobins, who were acquitted. In 1795 he published a second edition of Political Justice, in which some of the more rationalist and utopian statements of the first edition were modified.
In 1796 Godwin developed a relationship with Mary Wollstonecraft, whom he had first encountered briefly five years earlier. The two maintained separate living quarters, but after she became pregnant, they married in March 1797. Wollstonecraft died in September 1797, shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Mary. Godwin raised their child and Wollstonecraft's daughter Fanny. Burdened with debt, he produced a third and final revision of Political Justice; began his second major novel, St. Leon (1799); and wrote a biography of his wife, Memoirs of the Author of the Vindication of the Rights of Women (1798), which was published together with a collection of her works. His candid accounts of her two suicide attempts and her affair with Gilbert Imlay provoked a storm of controversy which was seized on by the conservative press. Godwin was increasingly attacked by loyalist newspapers, and his philosophical opinions were parodied and ridiculed in novels, reviews and pamphlets.
Thoughts Occasioned by the Perusal of Dr. Parr's Spital Sermon (1801), was an answer to Godwin's critics and a confession of philosophical errors which he had made in his earlier works, and which he had already acknowledged in the later editions of Poltiical Justice. In reaction to the violence of the French Revolution, British political and literary circles had become increasingly loyalist and conservative. Godwin turned to literature and history, writing an unsuccessful play, Antonio (1800), a Life of Chaucer (1803) and another novel, Fleetwood: or The New Man of Feeling (1805). In 1801 he married Mary Jane Clairmont, a widow with two children. In 1805 his friends helped them to establish a children's bookshop which they operated until 1824; writing under various pseudonyms, Godwin produced a variety of books for children, including collections of fables, myths, and Bible stories, histories of England, Rome and Greece, and various dictionaries and grammars.
In 1814 Godwin's household was thrown into turmoil when his 17-year-old daughter Mary eloped with Percy Bysshe Shelley, accompanied by Mary's 16-year-old stepsister, Clare Clairmont. The following decade was marked by repeated family tragedies, the suicides of Shelley's first wife and Godwin's stepdaughter Fanny, the deaths of three of Mary Shelley's children, and the death of Shelley himself in 1822. Godwin continued to write, publishing his Lives of Edward and John Philips, nephews of Milton (1815), Mandeville (1817), and Letters of Advice to a Young American (1818).
In his later career, Godwin wrote Of Population (1820) criticizing Malthusian theory, History of the Commonwealth of England, from its Commencement to the Restoration of Charles II (1824-28) and Thoughts on Man, his Nature, Productions and Discoveries (1831), a collection of essays suggesting that education should be modified to develop each person's individual talents. In 1833 Godwin finally received some recognition when he was given a sinecure post by the then-Whig government. Peel's subsequent administration agreed to extend the post until Godwin died on April 7, 1836.
Thought and Works
William Godwin is considered one of the first exponents of utilitarianism, and one of the first modern proponents of philosophical anarchism. He never hesitated to work out the final consequences of his ideas, regardless of the difficulties which they presented. His radicalism was one of ideas, not of violence. His radical reforms were to be carried out through discussion and education, and the resulting gradual changes in government and society. While Godwin thoroughly approved of the philosophic schemes of the precursors of the French Revolution, he was as far removed as Burke himself from agreeing with the violent way in which they were carried out.
His concept of the individual precluded him from being a true utilitarian; he insisted that the "private judgment" of every individual was sacred and should never be encroached upon. He also assigned more value to individuals who had the greatest potential, because of their intellectual and moral capacities, to benefit mankind.
Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, and its Influence on General Virtue and Happiness was, after Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine, the most popular written response to the French Revolution. Godwin's work was seen by many as illuminating a middle way between the fiery extremes of both Burke and Paine. Prime Minister William Pitt famously said that there was no need to censor it, because at over £1 it was too costly for the average Englishman to buy. However, as was the practice at the time, numerous "corresponding societies" took up Political Justice, either sharing it or having it read to the illiterate members. Eventually, it sold over four thousand copies and brought literary fame to Godwin. During the 1790s, excitement over the French Revolution was running high, and the book struck a chord with many liberal thinkers. In succeeding decades, when the violence of the Revolution had created a conservative backlash in England, Godwin's ideas were criticized and many of his supporters abandoned him.
No work gave such a blow to the philosophical mind of the country as the celebrated Enquiry ... Tom Paine was considered for a time as Tom Fool to him, Paley and old woman, Edmund Burke a flashy sophist. Truth, moral truth, it was supposed had here taken up its abode; and these were the oracles of thought. (Hazlitt, Spirit of the Age)
Godwin rejected the idea that moral and political characteristics were a product of climate, national tendencies or standard of living. He argued that a person's moral character was shaped by his experiences, and that the type of government under which he lived determined the type of experiences which affected him. Bad government produced wretched citizens with poor moral character. Godwin believed that moral and political improvement were based on progress in understanding moral and political truth, both in the individual and in society as a whole. The capacity for this type of moral progress in human beings was unlimited. A person who knew the truth would act upon it, because the mind initiates behavior. It was every person's duty to produce as much happiness in the world as he could, acting upon his private moral judgment and the information he gathered from his surroundings. The ideal person was one who had fully developed his intellectual powers and his moral understanding, so that his private judgment always prompted him to act, with benevolence and virtue, for the greatest good. A society of such ideal individuals would need no government at all.
By the words "political justice" Godwin meant "the adoption of any principle of morality and truth into the practice of a community." Political Justice condemned all government interference with individual judgment; even the best government was a form of evil. Democracy was preferable to monarchy, but dangerous because the majority threatened to impede the individual judgment of the minority. Godwin believed that all human beings were equal, because all human beings have the capacity for reason and are susceptible to the same pleasures and pains. All artificial distinctions, such as social class, gender, and political status, should be discarded, and every person should be judged on his own merits. Some persons, however, had a higher moral value because of their potential to contribute more to the general good of society. The book included the famous example of having to choose which of two people to save from a burning house, his own mother or the Archbishop Fénelon. The correct moral judgment, he said, was to save the archbishop, who had the greater potential to benefit the whole of society.
Godwin combined two principles; each individual was responsible to judge as best he could how to advance the greatest good, and each individual's private judgment was to be respected in a way that precluded anyone else from exercising authority over them. Godwin opposed legislation over any matter of private judgment, such as religious beliefs. Godwin supported individual ownership of property, defining it as "the empire to which every man is entitled over the produce of his own industry." However, he advocated that individuals should give to each other their surplus property when others had a need for it. Godwin did not believe that all coercion and violence was innately immoral, but recognized the need for government in the short term and hoped that the time would come when it would be unnecessary.
Every man has a right to that, the exclusive possession of which being awarded to him, a greater sum of benefit or pleasure will result than could have arisen from its being otherwise appropriated. (Godwin, Political Justice)
The final section of Political Justice described Godwin's vision for the ideal society of the future, which has done away with all forms of organized cooperation, including marriage and symphony orchestras, so that each individual is fully independent to exercise his judgment. Godwin predicted that such a society would gradually allow the powers of the mind to develop to the point where man could overcome physiological processes and prolong life indefinitely.
The first edition of Political Justice emphasized rationalism, with the mind impartially assessing the contending claims of sensation, desire, passion and reason to produce judgment, the basis for action. Familial affections and natural feelings like gratitude were not under the domain of judgment and should not play a part in determining how we should act. Godwin altered these views in the second two editions, saying that he had had not given enough importance to pleasure and pain as the basis for moral judgments. He attributed this error to Calvinist attitudes, which he said he had retained long after he had abandoned Calvinist religious opinions. He acknowledged that feeling, not judgment, was the real motivation for human actions, and that family attachments and natural affections played an important role in teaching us how to benefit others.
Godwin's ideas influenced writers like Percy Bysshe Shelley, Peter Kropotkin, and Leo Tolstoy. He also had an influence on Robert Owen, William Thompson and other nineteenth century utopians, and on the labor movements for political reform in the 1840s. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels knew of Godwin's writings and credited him with contributing to the theory of exploitation. Late in the nineteenth century, the last Book of Political Justice, dealing with the possibilities for the progress of the human race, was printed as a socialist tract with the title, On Property. Political Justice was reprinted in 1920, 1946 and 1993.
Godwin augmented the influence of the Political Justice with his publication of an equally popular novel, Things as They Are or the Adventures of Caleb Williams, the story of a servant who finds out a dark secret about Falkland, his aristocratic master, and is forced to flee because of this knowledge. Caleb Williams was possibly the first mystery thriller; Godwin wryly remarked that some readers were consuming in a night what it took him over a year to write. The book included a portrait of the English justice system at the time and a prescient picture of domestic espionage. Caleb Williams supported Godwin's assertion that society must be reformed in order for individual behavior to be reformed. Charles Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe both commented on Godwin's ingenuity in starting his with the conclusion, Caleb being chased through England and Ireland, and developing the plot backwards.
Godwin illustrated his principles by writing five more novels in which the main characters were brought to grief by the aristocratic and inegalitarian principles of their societies.
Response to Malthus
As part of the British conservative reaction precipitated by Napoleon's campaign in the Alps in 1798, Thomas Malthus wrote his An Essay on the Principle of Population attacking Godwin's views on the "perfectibility of society." Malthus used what have come to be considered specious statistics to predict impending doom because of a geometrically rising world-wide population and arithmetically increasing food supply. Godwin's Political Justice had acknowledged that an increase in the standard of living could cause population pressures, but he saw a solution that would avoid such a crisis; a change in the structure of human action, if not of human nature, so that the development of intellectual pleasures would eclipse the desire for sex.
Twenty years later, in 1820, Godwin published Of Population: An Enquiry Concerning the Power of Increase in the Numbers of Mankind, as a rebuttal to Malthus's attack on Political Justice. Godwin referred to Malthus's theory as a "house of cards" that Malthus "neither proves nor attempts to prove" and objected to Malthus's sweeping assumption that the rate of population growth in America reflected a worldwide phenomenon. Godwin attested to the verifiable fact that population growth was at a standstill in much of the Old World. Furthermore, Godwin believed that the abundance of uncultivated land and continued technological advances did not justify fears of overpopulation. In an era where many children did not survive to maturity, Godwin pointed out that for population to double every twenty-five years as Malthus predicted, every married couple would need to have at least eight children.

Harvard Law School (också känt som Harvard Law eller HLS) är en av Harvard Universitys fakulteter. Skolan är belägen i Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, och är den äldsta kontinuerligt verksamma juristutbildningen i USA och är hem för det största akademiska juridikbiblioteket i världen.

Den nuvarande dekanusen vid Harvard Law School är Martha Minow, som tillträdde den 1 juli 2009. Skolan har 246 lärare. Många är framstående jurister. Harvard Law Schools fakultet var ansvariga för fler dokumentsnedladdningar på Social Science Research Network än något annat juridikskola, ett faktum som delvis förklaras med skolans storlek.

Alumner vid Harvard Law School inkluderar ett stort antal berömda personer inom juridik och politik, inklusive USA:s tidigare president Barack Obama liksom presidentkandidaten 2012 Mitt Romney. Världsledare bland sina alumner inkluderar den nuvarande taiwanesiske presidenten Ma Ying-jeou och tidigare vicepresidenten Annette Lu; Filippinernas tidigare chefsdomare, Renato Corona; Singapores chefsdomare, Sundaresh Menon; Världsbankens tidigare chef, Robert Zoellick; nuvarande FN:s högkommissarie för mänskliga rättigheter, Navanethem Pillay; och Irlands tidigare president, Mary Robinson. 149 av USA:s sittande federala domare är utexaminerade från Harvard Law School. Fem av de nio sittande domarna i USA:s högsta domstol utexaminerades från skolan (Chefsdomare John Roberts och domarna Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Neil Gorsuch och Elena Kagan); domare Ruth Bader Ginsburg överfördes till Columbia Law School efter att ha avslutat ett års studier vid Harvard. Sju sittande amerikanska senatorer utexamninerades från skolan.

Harvard Law School har också utbildat ett stort antal ledare och innovatörer inom näringslivet. Företagsledare bland sina studenter omfattar tidigare ordförande och VD för Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein; nuvarande styrelseordförande och majoritetsägare i National Amusements, miljardären Sumner Redstone; nuvarande VD och koncernchef för TIAA-CREF, Roger W. Ferguson, Jr; nuvarande VD och styrelseordförande i Toys "R" Us, Gerald L. Storch; och tidigare VD för Delta Air Lines, Gerald Grinstein, med flera.

Varje klass i det treåriga J.D.-programmet har cirka 550 studenter. Förstaårsklassen (1L) är indelad i sju sektioner om cirka 80 studenter som tar de flesta förstaårsklasserna tillsammans. Utexaminerade från Harvard Law School har stått för 568 juridiska kontoristtjänster under de senaste tre åren, däribland en fjärdedel av alla notarier i USA:s högsta domstol.

Q: boost::asio::async_write does not complete its task I'm trying to figure out how asynchronous reads and writes work in boost asio by manipulating the echo example.  Currently, I have a server that should, when sent a sentence, respond with only the first word.  However, the boost::asio::async_write never seems to complete even though the write handler is being called.  Can someone please explain what's going on?  Here's the code:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>

using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

class session
{
public:
  session(boost::asio::io_service& io_service)
    : socket_(io_service)
  {
  }

  tcp::socket& socket()
  {
    return socket_;
  }

  void start()
  {
 std::cout<<"starting"<<std::endl;
  boost::asio::async_read_until(socket_, buffer, ' ',
        boost::bind(&session::handle_read, this,
          boost::asio::placeholders::error,
          boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred));
  }

  void handle_read(const boost::system::error_code& error,
      size_t bytes_transferred)
  {

// std::ostringstream ss;
// ss<<&buffer;

 char* c = new char[bytes_transferred];

 //std::string s;
 buffer.sgetn(c,bytes_transferred);
 std::cout<<"data: "<< c<<" bytes: "<<bytes_transferred<<std::endl;

 if (!error)
    {
      boost::asio::async_write(socket_,
          boost::asio::buffer(c,bytes_transferred),
          boost::bind(&session::handle_write, this,
            boost::asio::placeholders::error));
    }
    else
    {
      delete this;
    }
  }

  void handle_write(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
 std::cout<<"handling write"<<std::endl;
    if (!error)
    {
    }
    else
    {
      delete this;
    }
  }

private:
  tcp::socket socket_;
  boost::asio::streambuf buffer;
};

class server
{
public:
  server(boost::asio::io_service& io_service, short port)
    : io_service_(io_service),
      acceptor_(io_service, tcp::endpoint(tcp::v4(), port))
  {
    session* new_session = new session(io_service_);
    acceptor_.async_accept(new_session->socket(),
        boost::bind(&server::handle_accept, this, new_session,
          boost::asio::placeholders::error));
  }

  void handle_accept(session* new_session,
      const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      new_session->start();
      new_session = new session(io_service_);
      acceptor_.async_accept(new_session->socket(),
          boost::bind(&server::handle_accept, this, new_session,
            boost::asio::placeholders::error));
    }
    else
    {
      delete new_session;
    }
  }

private:
  boost::asio::io_service& io_service_;
  tcp::acceptor acceptor_;
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  try
  {
    if (argc != 2)
    {
      std::cerr << "Usage: async_tcp_echo_server <port>\n";
      return 1;
    }

    boost::asio::io_service io_service;

    using namespace std; // For atoi.
    server s(io_service, atoi(argv[1]));

    io_service.run();
  }
  catch (std::exception& e)
  {
    std::cerr << "Exception: " << e.what() << "\n";
  }

  return 0;
}

Thanks!

A: You're not using boost::asio::streambuf correctly, read the HTTP client example closely.  For your code, you should do something like:
buffer.commit( bytes_transferred );
std::istream is( &buffer );
std::string data;
is >> data;
std::cout << "data: " << data << " bytes: " << bytes_transferred << std::endl;

then use a separate boost::asio::streambuf for your response. As the previous answer also said, you're leaking memory. I'd suggest using boost::shared_ptr and shared_from_this.

A: *

*To avoid problems with possible memmory leaks involve with Session, You should consider using boost::enable_shared_from_this, like below:
class session : public boost::enable_shared_from_this<session>

Instead of use "this" use shared_from_this().
Don't use delete this.

*You allocate table by new but I don`t see where memory is free.
char* c = new char[bytes_transferred];

delete c isn`t called

*Maybe better solution is using additional buffer m_bufferForRead instead of allocate table c.

A: As a could see you just don't close the socket and even don't delete the session.
After you successful write and complete write handler, you leave the session object making memory leak. Also the char* c = new char[bytes_transferred]; make a memory leak as it is never used again, boost::asio::buffer don't  deallocate the memory for you.
Simply change the write handler:
void handle_write(const boost::system::error_code& error)
{
  std::cout<<"handling write and exiting."<<std::endl;
  delete this;
}

Discussion in 'Stock 2011 - 2019 Ford Explorer Discussion' started by Chip2014, February 11, 2017.
I slid on snow and hit a curb going roughly 8 mph and snappedmy lower control arm in 2 pieces and pulled the axle out of the insert. The auto body shop got my insurance to replace all the suspension parts on the front drivers side wheel.
However after multiple test drives there is a clanking noise which almost sounds like metal hitting together. The auto body thought it was a defective strut and replaced...no good. Then replaced the axle thinking that was it....no dice. They said they have no idea what it could be. I know the person working on my truck personally and everything was replaced.
What do you think it could be? Please any help would be appreciated.
Welcome to the Forum Chip.
Sorry to read about your incident. There are several threads about front end noises but I don't believe they were the result of an accident. Hopefully someone will be able to provide some insight into the problem. You can always use the 'Search' feature in the upper right of the page to see if there is anything similar to what you are experiencing.
That is a very handy program to find various existing threads. Good luck.
Sure does sound like a strut mount, but if they replaced it, probably not. If you drive at a crawl speed crank your steering wheel back and forth to try to make the noise repeat itself, it may be a strut mount on the passenger side. If not a strut mount I would have them inspect the sway bar link.
Have they checked the other side? If you hit it hard enough to do all of that damage, there's a possibility that the force could've damaged something on the other side.
Other possibilities, engine/trans mounts, subframe mounting bolts, steering rack.
You have to consider not only where the force was applied, but where it could transfer to.
I did the exact same thing to my car about two years ago. I snapped my driver side control arm in half when I hit the curb in the snow. The shop replaced the strut, control arm, sway bar, and tie rods. Then a year later, my sway bar link came off after making squeak noises (Sounded like metal rubbing) over bumps and rocking the steering wheel back and fourth. They replaced it for me.
I would check the sway bar, and sway bar links.


I'm embarrassed someone would look themselves in the mirror and say, "What's really missing in my life is a gold smartphone." But where there is demand, you can bet someone out there, no matter how ridiculous, will create supply. We already highlighted the droll excess of the $100,000 diamond encrusted iPhone, and now that same company is defacing HTC's excellent One design.
Goldgenie, who takes the precious metal and cakes it onto electronic devices, is doing that very same thing with the HTC One, and then charging thousands of dollars for it. Phones might be fashion accessories in some parts of the world, but the One already looks premium in its own right.
There are actually three versions: Gold, Platinum and Rose Gold. Each version, obviously, weighs in at their own price points, and each comes with a "Luxury Cherry Oak Box." Accessories are included as well, and users can choose between the black or silver versions. At least there are options. It would make for one unique unboxing, sure, but would you even want to carry a device around that was plated in gold? Unless you don't want to be the target of every thief in your city, I'd imagine the "normal" version of the One is good enough.

Trees as Power Sources
A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study found plants can generate up to 200 millivolts between an electrode in the plant and one in the surrounding soil.
Doug Lung
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a custom circuit that can be powered from the limited power available from trees.
A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study found plants can generate up to 200 millivolts between an electrode in the plant and one in the surrounding soil. The UW team found that big leaf maples generate a steady voltage up to a few hundred millivolts. The UW circuit consists of a boost converter that steps up voltages as low as 20 millivolts to 1.1 volts It consumes only 10 nanowatts of power during operation. To further reduce energy consumption a clock that runs continuously on only 1 nanowatt is used to turn on the system once every few seconds.
The low power circuits could be useful for powering sensors that could, as an example, provide early notification of forest fires. This, of course, will require developing transmitters than will work with the small amount of power available from the tree.
"It's not exactly established where these voltages come from," said Babak Parviz, University of Washington associate professor of electrical engineering. "But there seems to be some signaling in trees, similar to what happens in the human body but with slower speed. I'm interested in applying our results as a way of investigating what the tree is doing. When you go to the doctor, the first thing that they measure is your pulse. We don't really have something similar for trees."
In case you are wondering, this is not the same as the "potato battery" effect where dissimilar metal electrodes are used to produce voltage. The electrodes in this experiment used the same metal. Read Electrical circuit runs entirely off power in trees for more information.

North America's oldest California condor Topa-topa turns 50 at LA Zoo
The nation's oldest California condor, Topa-topa, is shown in an image from the Los Angeles Zoo. (Los Angeles Zoo)
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- North America's oldest known California condor turned 50 Thursday.
Topa-topa, or Topa for short, was the first wild-born condor brought into captivity in 1967. He has since thrived at the Los Angeles Zoo.
Topa is said to be the most genetically valuable condor in the world because he has fathered 34 chicks.
The California condor is the largest bird in North America, according to the organization Defenders of Wildlife. The species declined through the century until there were only 22 known birds in existence. But as of May 2013, there are about 435 condors in the world.

Tessin, Nicodemus, the Elder
Tessin, Nicodemus, the Elder (1615–81). Swedish architect and military engineer of French origins. After its successes in the Thirty Years War (1618–48) Sweden became a magnet for artists, and enjoyed a period of considerable activity in creative spheres. In 1646, during the reign of Queen Christina (1644–54), Tessin was appointed Royal Architect, travelled to improve his taste and knowledge, and returned to Sweden in 1653 armed with the necessary experience, books, and drawings to become the country's foremost Baroque architect. Influenced by French designs, he created the gardens at the Royal Palace of Drottningholm as well as the Palace itself, with its system of pavilions, monumental staircase, and composition in which precedents from France, The Netherlands, and Italy can be detected (1660s). He also designed Kalmar Cathedral (begun 1660), partly influenced by the Roman Cinquecento and built on a Greek-cross plan with corner turrets, but with the east and west arms lengthened and with apses. He was City Architect of Stockholm from 1661 until his death. Among his other works were the noble Karolinska Grafkoret (Carolinian Mausoleum) at the Riddarholms-Kyrka (Riddarholms Church—1671–1740), many houses in Stockholm, and the Bank of Sweden, Stockholm (1676).

Algerian Court Sentences Man to 20 Years for Spying
by Naharnet Newsdesk 11 June 2012, 15:47
A court in Algiers on Monday sentenced an Algerian psychologist and expert in anti-terrorism to 20 years' jail in absentia on conviction of spying after a stay in Iraq.
Noureddine Benziane had already been sentenced to four years on the same charge on February 1, 2009, and spent two years in prison after already being held for two years in preventive detention.
He was subsequently released, but the Supreme Court annulled this judgment on appeal by the state prosecution and ruled that the affair must be tried a second time.
"Twenty years' jail in absentia for Noureddine Benziane, found guilty of collaboration with a foreign state prejudicial to the national interest," judge Omar Benkherchi ruled Monday.
The prosecutor had demanded the same sentence in the absence of Benziane who had been evacuated to France after a heart attack, according to his lawyer, Cherif Chorfi.
Chorfi on Monday told AFP that he did not know where his client was.
According to the charge sheet, Benziane went to Iraq on a humanitarian mission several times between 2005 et 2007 and headed an international delegation of psychologists sent to help Iraqi children.
In Mosul, Benziane was said to have found a training camp for potential suicide bombers of several nationalities. During an inquiry, he said that they were planning to attack sites outside Iraq.
Benziane acknowledged contacting several diplomatic missions in Algiers to give them details of the information he had recovered. He warned of possible attacks in Britain, Canada, France, Qatar, Russia and Spain, according to the APS news agency.
However, Benziane neglected to inform the Algerian security services of his findings, APS said.

Turkey: Termination of definitive antidumping duty on imports of certain pencils with leads of graphite and pencils with leads of crayons from China and on imports from Thailand following an anti-circumvention investigation
ANNOUNCEMENT 18 Dec 2008
In December 2008, the government of Turkey extended the definitive duty imposed on imports from China following a sunset review. The sunset review also extended the duty on imports from Thailand for reasons of an anti-circumvention investigation concluded in 2007. In December 2013, a sunset review was initiated and the definitive duty was extended for a new period in August 2014. The duty expired in August 2019.

Inception date: 18 Dec 2008 | Removal date: 09 Aug 2019
On December 4, 2007, the Turkish authorities initiated a sunset review of the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of pencils with leads of graphite and pencils with leads of crayons encased in a rigid sheath from China (Notification 2007/22).
The products subject to investigation are classified under the following HS code: 9609.1000.
On December 18, 2008, the Turkish authorities extended the definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of pencils with leads of graphite and pencils with leads of crayons encased in a rigid sheath from China (Notification 2008/35). The amount of the duty is USD 3.16 for each set of 144 pieces.
On December 17, 2013, the Turkish authorities initiated a new sunset review of the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of pencils with leads of graphite and pencils with leads of crayons encased in a rigid sheath from China (Notification 2013/27).
On August 9, 2014, the Turkish authorities decided upon the continuation for a period of five years of the anti-dumping measure imposed on imports of the above-mentioned products originating in China (Notification 2014/24). The amount of the duty remains USD 3.16 for each set of 144 pieces.
On 9 August 2019, the Turkish authorities terminated the definitive duty imposed on imports of the subject good from China as the duty was set to expire.
Anti-circumvention
On December 4, 2007, the Turkish authorities initiated a sunset review of the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of pencils with leads of graphite and pencils with leads of crayons encased in a rigid sheath from China (see related intervention). The products subject to investigation are classified under the following HS code: 9609.1000. Since the antidumping duty imposed on imports of granites from China was extended to imports of the same products from Thailand, the sunset review and its conclusion will hold for this country as well.
The antidumping duty was extended to imports of the subject good from Thailand on 14 April 2007. The rate of duty was set at USD 3.16 per 144 pieces.
On December 18, 2008, the Turkish authorities extended the antidumping duty imposed on imports of the subject good from China following the conclusion of the sunset review. As such, the duty imposed on imports of the subject good from Thailand is also extended.
On December 17, 2013, the Turkish authorities initiated a new sunset review of the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of pencils with leads of graphite and pencils with leads of crayons encased in a rigid sheath from China (see related intervention). Since the antidumping duty imposed on imports of granites from China was extended to imports of the same products from Thailand, the sunset review and its conclusion will hold for this country as well.
On August 9, 2014, the Turkish authorities extended the antidumping duty on imports of the subject good from China (see related intervention). As such, the duty imposed on imports of the subject good from Thailand is also extended.
On 9 August 2019, the Turkish authorities terminated the definitive duty imposed on imports of the subject good from China as the duty was set to expire. As such, the duty imposed on the same good from Thailand also expired on the said date.
Inception date: No inception date
On 19 June 2018, the Turkish authorities initiated an anti-circumvention investigation on imports of pencils with leads of graphite and pencils with lead of crayons encased in a rigid sheath from Egypt (Notification No. 2018/24). This investigation follows suspicion that the definitive antidumping duty imposed on imports of the same products originating in China might be circumvented (see related intervention). The products subject to investigation are classified under the following HS code subheading: 9609.10.
On 25 May 2019, the Turkish authorities terminated the anti-circumvention investigation on imports of the subject good from Egypt without the imposition of definitive duties.

Q: How to keep modal inputs after a modal was closed? In the first modal user can basically add name and create name button will highlight and then user can add the name and the next modal will pop up which is the modal 2 below.
What I want to know is that how can I keep  the input from modal 1 which is the name example "Kiiiiii" that when user will click cancel in modal two it will go back to modal 1 and will keep the input and not erased ? and what is the right term to this ?
Just dont mind 2 different names from modal 1 and 2. Ideally it should be the same.
By the way I am using angular. Can anyone atleast provide sources related to this problme ? Thank you.
Any Idea ? Thank you.
I want that when the cancel button

This is the second modal

A: In my opinion you can use local storage. You can create an object for a form, something like a ViewModel.
let obj = {
}

Then you handle all form actions. After filling the first modal you just save your data into that object.
obj.name = 'some field';

In this object you just store your data from the form. After clicking Add in the first modal you just stringify your object by using JSON.stringify() and save it into local storage, so your data is persistent. When you need your data you just read from the local storage and use JSON.parse() to convert the string into the object. After saving the data in modal 2 you can just erase your string with data from localstorage.
//useful methods
localStorage.setItem();
localStorage.getItem();
localStorage.removeItem();

Bibliography where you can find more information about JSON and localStorage:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON

A: Your modal should be integrated to an model such as
 export class EntryData{
        section:string="";
        name:string="";
        reprhrase:string="";
constructor(){}
    }

and u add this data to your component.ts
entryData:EntryData;

then in costructor f component initialize it
this.entryData=new EntryData();

in your html use your input two way such as
<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="entryData.name" />

when u click the Create Name your model still be stored in backend. when u re-open your model it will be what u changed

A: Several options are possible here,

*

*you could use a service in which you keep the global state values and then communicate the values to the different components while keeping the global state inside your service.

*you could use event emitters to pass the values between the components

*you could use input output , viewchild ...

there are other options too but if there suitable or not will also depend on how you implement these modals.
I would recommend reading

*

*https://angular.io/guide/component-interaction

*https://angular.io/start/start-data
for more specific recommendations you should post your code :)

General Motors is expected to announce a sweeping restructuring of its North American operations on Monday. The announcement is expected to include news that the automaker will cancel some slow selling models and cut production at several North American assembly plants.
News of the alleged restructuring began to hit Sunday evening in Canada. Reports state GM has informed Canadian union Unifor that it will not allocate any new products to the company's Oshawa, Ontario assembly plant after December 2019; effectively stated the plant will close. The Oshawa facility employs about 2,500 and builds the Cadillac XTS and Chevrolet Impala, along with final production of the last-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
This morning an additional report has surfaced suggested GM's restructuring will extend beyond the Canadian facility. Automotive News has been told by sources within GM that the company also plans to cut products currently produced at the company's assembly plants in Lordstown, Ohio and its Detroit-Hamtramck plant in metro Detroit.
GM's Lordstown plant currently produces the Chevrolet Cruze, while the Detroit-Hamtramck plant produces the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Impala and Volt. Both plants have seen shift reductions over the course of the last year as demand for sedans continues to drop across the entire industry.
Assuming GM confirms these reports later today, the company will be joining rivals Ford Motor Company and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in slashing sedan production to cope with dramatic shifts in consumer demand.
I'm thinking the models in question will get a EV replacement. It was stated that new platforms for electrification is on its way.
Even though sedan sales are down, I still think it's a big mistake to exit that market. At least the impala, CT6, Cruze they should keep. The Sonic I would have got rid of. It's like going to McDonald's and they say we are no longer offering the Big Mac, sales are down. Gm can dedicate a plant to produce slow selling sedans, maybe limit the numbers they make a year.

About the Register Data
Historical performance data for professional leagues (affiliated minor leagues, independent minor leagues, fall/winter leagues, and other international leagues) is provided by and licensed from 24-7 Baseball and Chadwick Baseball Bureau. It incorporates the work of many stalwart baseball researchers, including Cliff Blau, Art Cantu, Frank Hamilton, Reed Howard, Kevin Johnson, Bob McConnell, Jack Morris, and Ray Nemec, as well as members of the Minor Leagues Committee of the Society for American Baseball Research.
Perhaps most importantly, it builds upon the seminal work of Ed Washuta, who magnanimously provided the framework to make the whole thing possible.
Minor league Total Zone (Rctch&Rtz, 2005-2009) data provided by Baseballprojection.com and Minorleaguesplits.com.
About the Negro League Data
This data comes from two sources. 1) The Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group put together by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum thanks to a grant provided by Major League Baseball. 2) Gary Ashwill and his collaborators.
The Hall of Fame data is found for the years 1920-1948 and the Ashwill data is found from 1904-1919. Many statistics are incomplete due to ongoing research and/or limitations in published sources, so please be assured that we are aware there are issues with the data and will continue to work with our data providers to improve the data that appears here.
The Hall of Fame dataset
This data is constructed from the best available information as provided by Larry Lester, Wayne Stivers and Dick Clark of the Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group. It contains data culled from newspaper boxscores, covering league sanctioned games from 1920 to 1948, which was produced for a study sponsored by Major League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. It reflects totals as compiled by the NLRAG up to 2006. As new credible information is continually unearthed, these numbers will continue to change.
Baseball-Reference and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum would like to acknowledge Major League Baseball for funding this study, along with the Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group for their extensive efforts to collect the raw data and construct the most comprehensive database of Negro Leagues Baseball statistics. Under the direction of Larry Lester, Wayne Stivers and Dick Clark, this database is the largest dataset ever made publically available and we wish to express our gratitude for all their efforts to help rebuild this lost statistical history.
The Ashwill Negro Leagues Database
Playing statistics and biographical data on the Negro leagues (all pre-1920) and early Latin American professional baseball is licensed from and provided by the Negro Leagues Database, a project organized by Gary Ashwill with the participation of many historians of Negro league and Latin American baseball.
The database is a work in progress, and will include more seasons as development continues. It appears in its original form at Seamheads.com.
Playing statistics and biographical data for this portion of our dataset (The Negro Leagues Database) are all copyright 2013 by Gary Ashwill. All rights reserved.
Note that our records are missing thousands of players who played in the Negro Leagues for minor league teams, independent teams, barnstorming teams or even Negro major league teams. We will bring their records to light as soon as suitable records are available for those players.

COMMENTS: This puzzle is a derivative of Karin Von Kanel's outline burr, designed in 2001. I have been wanting to make this for a long time, but was having trouble getting in touch with Karin. Finally I ran into her at the NYPP and she heartily agreed to give me permission to make it. Initially I wanted to make the "Ultimate" level 15.1, but when I plugged it into burrtools, no solution was to be found. I started playing around with the piece sets and decided on one which had three pairs of nicely symmetrical mirrored pieces. While several solutions exist, a unique level 7.4 is enforced by wood type. The puzzle is shipped in a non-symmetrical level 5.2 configuration, leaving the ultimate 7.4 up to the buyer to find. The pieces are constructed with half-lap joints throughout for lasting strength and good looks. Each piece is signed and dated - 20 copies were made for sale.

Though they are now popular companion breeds because of their affectionate nature and adorable enthusiasm for life in general, Dachshunds were once used for hunting dogs. The Standard Dachshund was used to scent and flush out badgers, while the Miniature Dachshund hunted smaller prey like rabbits. Their history as hunting dogs shows up in their personality today and Dachshunds are known for being courageous little dogs with a sense of adventure. Though they are certainly content to snuggle on the sofa with their favorite human, they also welcome time to romp and play outdoors, especially if it involves digging in the earth and "hunting" their prey.
Though they make delightful pets, Dachshunds are not pushovers. Their stubborn nature is well-known and training a Dachshund can be quite a challenge. They show tenacity in all of their activities whether it's hunting, chasing a ball, begging for a snack, or defying your carefully constructed behavioral boundaries. Keep in mind that life with your Dachshund may require a bit of compromise. However, they will make it worth your while when they shower you with devotion and affection, especially if you are their "chosen" person. They may not take well strangers, and like all dogs, proper and early socialization is important. As burrowing dogs, a sleepy or bored Dachshund will burrow into blankets around the house. Chances are, if you choose one of these dogs as your companion, they will burrow their way into your heart.
Alternative names: The Dachshund breed is also commonly known by the names Teckel,Tekkel,Tekkel Doxie,Weenie Dog,Sausage Dog,Bassotto,Worshond.
There are engravings featuring short-legged hunting dogs that date back to ancient Egypt, so it is thought that Dachshund-like dogs were in existence even then. The American University in Cairo has discovered mummified Dachshund-like dogs that date back to this time period, as well.
It's a giant leap in time from ancient Egypt to modern times, but the first records of today's modern Dachshund appeared in the early 1700s. References to the "Dachs Kriecher ("badger crawler") or "Dachs Krieger" ("badger warrior") appeared at this time and most likely describe a specific breed, rather that previous, more general references to "badger dogs" and "hole dogs". The original German Dachshunds were larger than today's Dachshunds and were used for badger hunting and badger-baiting, as well tracking deer and even hunting dangerous game like wolverines in a pack.
The exact origins of the modern Dachshund are unknown and a source of debate. The American Kennel Club states the dachshund was bred in the 15th century, while the Dachshund Club of America states that foresters bred the dogs in the 18th or 19th century. Some believe it is the cross between a German Shorthaired Pointer, a Pinscher, and a type of Bloodhound while others believe it is the result of a cross between a Pinscher and a miniature French pointer. To add to the confusion, some believe they are descended from Bassett Hounds. The only point of agreement is that the smooth-coated variety came before the long-haired and wirehaired varieties.
At first glance, you will notice the Dachshunds small size, but they make up for it with a big, lively, and courageous personality.
A tapered head, dark, dark, almond-shaped eyes, rounded ears, and a black nose.
Low to ground with a long body and short legs.
A straight tail carried even with the body.
Three coat varieties: smooth, long-haired, and wirehaired.
A variety of colors including: red, cream, dappled, brindle, and merle for the smooth and longhaired dachshunds. Wirehaired Dachshunds also come in wild boar, black and tan, and various shades of red.
Dachshunds are clever, intelligent dogs, and can quickly grasp basic commands. However, they are moderately difficult to train. They tend to have a stubborn streak and will require a firm, consistent hand. Dachshunds are especially difficult to housetrain, and crate training may help to make this an easier process. But, because of their size and generally affectionate nature, they are acceptable dogs for first-time dog owners. However, outside assistance is recommended and proper training and socialization from an early age are extremely important.
As intelligent dogs, Dachshunds will need an outlet for their intelligence and energy. Playtime and walks will help prevent your dog from acting out in undesirable ways like chewing, barking, etc.
Dachshunds are moderately active dogs. It doesn't require a ton of daily exercise to tire them out. A walk around the block twice a day or a game of fetch is generally enough. They do enjoy the opportunity to run, play, and dig. Dachshunds are prone to obesity and regular exercise will help to keep their weight under control.
Young Dachshunds activities require a few special considerations. Because of their long back, they are prone to back issues. They should never be allowed to jump on and off furniture and you should take care to support their back when holding them.
Dachshunds tend to be one person dogs and will bond closely with a single person in the household. They will want to be near this person most of the time and will not appreciate being left alone for long periods.
Due to their size, Dachshunds do not make great protectors. However, the are suspicious of strangers and will definitely bark, so they can serve as an alert dog if something is amiss.
Because of their size and the fact that they don't require a lot of exercise, Dachshunds are suited to a variety of living situations. They do well as apartment dogs, but it is important to remember that they do bark and may not be friendly with neighbors. Early socialization is important so that they become used to meeting new people and animals.
Dachshunds have a short, tight coat and do not tolerate the cold well. For walks and outdoor activities in cold weather they may need protective outerwear to stay warm and of course, a warm, inside place out of the cold weather.
Dachshunds do well with familiar children as long as they are raised with them, They may not interact with strange children and supervision is important. Unlike tinier dogs, it is safe to have them in a home with toddlers and small children. However, children should never be allowed to pick up a Dachshund and they should be taught to handle them gently to prevent back injuries.
Dachshunds generally get along well with other pets, as long as they are properly socialized from a young age. They will often be the dominant personality in a group. Special care needs to be taken when introducing a new puppy to your other pets. It needs to be done slowly and very careful to make sure that everything goes smoothly and that it is a calm, positive experience for the puppy.
Dachshunds have a short, shiny, and smooth coat. They are generally low maintenance as far as grooming. They need to be brushed once a week, to keep any shedding under control; with their short coat, it's very easy.
Wirehaired Dachshunds require a little bit more maintenance that includes regular brushing and having their coats stripped two to three times per year.
Ears should be checked regularly for dirt, redness or a bad smell that could indicate an infection. Clean your dog's ears when needed with an ear cleaner made specifically for dogs. Dachshunds don't usually wear their nails down on their own. Long nails will require regular clipping and all puppies should be introduced to nail clipping early on so that it will be easier when they are older.
1/2 to 1 1/2 cups of high-quality, dry dog food fed in two daily meals is a good starting point, but other factors need to be taken into consideration. Higher quality dog foods may require less food, as more of the food is digested properly. In addition, higher energy dogs will require more food, while more sedentary dogs may require less. Dachshunds are prone to obesity, so special attention should be paid to ensure that your dog doesn't become overweight, which can cause health issues in both the short and long-term.

Melbourne Storm confirm three more games
The Sunshine Coast has scored yet another hat-trick for footy fans to witness NRL action close-up with Melbourne Storm and Sunshine Coast Council today confirming the club's last three home games of the regular season will be played at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
In the lead-up to the finals series, Storm will take on Manly in Round 16 on Sunday 30 August at 4.05pm.
The second-on-the-ladder premiership contenders will then battle it out against North Queensland Cowboys on Sunday 13 September at 4.05pm (Round 18), before facing Wests Tigers on Saturday 19 September at 5.30pm (Round 19).
Public tickets for the Manly game will go on sale from 9am, Monday 24 August and fans are encouraged to get in quick as tickets are limited. All tickets can be purchased through Ticketek and start from $30.
Tickets for the Round 18 and 19 games will be released on the Monday before each home game.
A buying window opportunity will also be available for Melbourne Storm members and those people who were issued automatic refunds to the Storm v Bulldogs match on 8 August. Those people will be contacted directly via Ticketek.
The Sunshine Coast Stadium site-specific COVID Safe plan has been reviewed and approved by the Queensland Health Public Health Unit.
The venue layout will be similar to the Storm v Bulldogs match with an overall approved capacity of approximately 4100, while the individual seating on the eastern and southern mounds will again be included as part of the approval.
Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said council was excited to secure three more home games and continue to be Storm's home away from home.
"It's been very difficult circumstances for the NRL this year to continue during the COVID-19 pandemic, but for every storm there is a silver lining and that has been a terrific boost for our Sunshine Coast to host six games for the 2020 regular season," Mayor Jamieson said.
"Our council has greatly valued its relationship with the Melbourne Storm and on behalf of our community, I want to thank the club for choosing our Sunshine Coast as their base at this time.
"I have no doubt that many members of our community will be cheering the Storm on as they prepare for the finals.
"Importantly, our partnership also includes the Storm promoting the Sunshine Coast destination throughout the 2021 season, which means we will see even more tourism benefits start to flow once borders open up again.
"Hosting the Storm home games this season has helped to put our region on the map nationally for an extended period of time and has also shone the light on the potential for the Sunshine Coast to one day host our own permanent NRL team.
"The lengths that we have gone to in hosting these games has also shown the need for both the State and Federal Governments to support council with its planned staged expansion of the Stadium."
Storm CEO Dave Donaghy said the Sunshine Coast had proven to be a great home away from home in difficult times.
"This has been a very challenging period for Storm, but the wonderful assistance of Sunshine Coast Council and the great support we've had from the wider Coast community has helped us through," Mr Donaghy said.
"It has really consolidated the close ties we already had with the Sunshine Coast.
"While our home will always be Melbourne, and we deeply miss our members and fans there, our players love running out onto Sunshine Coast Stadium, seeing all the purple in the crowd and hearing the cheers which are getting louder every week.
"This is an exciting time as we build towards the finals and we're delighted to be able to share what is a unique experience with our members and fans here."
Sunshine Coast Economic Portfolio Councillor Jason O'Pray said hosting these events during a pandemic had delivered a much-needed boost to the region's economy.
"Having Melbourne Storm temporarily live, train and play on the Sunshine Coast has generated millions for our region and local businesses," Cr O'Pray said.
"It has also enabled our local community to witness elite NRL games locally, with the majority of spectators having been Sunshine Coast locals.
"A further three games will provide an unprecedented opportunity for locals to see the very best of rugby league up close.
"Delivering these game days has undoubtedly been a learning curve and our stadium management team is comfortable that we have the appropriate systems and layout in place to provide a safe environment for these games.
"However we continue to rely on patrons doing the right thing by adhering to social distancing and hygiene practices while attending the game and thank them in advance for their cooperation."
Tickets are available via Ticketek https://premier.ticketek.com.au/ and booking fees apply.

TICKETING UPDATE: Storm vs Bulldogs
Storm v Cowboys match a sell-out


Blood clotting is a complex, multifactorial physiological process that allows the body to respond to thrombogenic stimuli (e.g. a blood vessel being damaged). If the body's physiological response is excessive, a pathologic thrombosis with vessel occlusion and tissue ischaemia may occur leading to myocardial infarctions, strokes, pulmonary embolisms, etc. When a person's physiological response is insufficient, it may result in excessive bleeding.
Thrombotic disorders and cardiovascular diseases such as thrombosis, myocardial infarctions, strokes, embolisms, etc. are the main cause of death and disability in Europe.
In Italy, cardiovascular diseases cause 35% of male deaths and 43% of female deaths. They have a huge impact on public health and weigh heavily on health and economic resources.
Spending on cardiovascular surgery is estimated at approximately €650 million. Over €5 billion is spent on medication for these disorders.
This is an innovative and unique in vitro device that provides, just in few minutes, a semi quantitative dynamic analysis of platelets aggregation and fibrin formation with far greater accuracy than presently possible on the market.
Measuring platelet activation and fibrin formation using a blood sample helps clinicians to chart the thrombogenic potential of a sample and work out a patient's predisposition to forming thrombi.
The Smart Clot platform helps specialists (anaesthetists, haematologists, cardiologists, heart surgeons, etc.) to both accurately evaluate blood clotting disorders and monitor the effect of antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation therapy.

Thankfully it's that time of year again… the harsh winter weather can take its toll on the inside and outside of your vehicle. Most of our customers like to book a complete detail before and after the winter months. Or if you have a summer vehicle, now might be a good time to give it a wash and wax in preparation for your first use this season.
Ask about our paint sealant services and how we can help to protect and preserve your vehicle's appearance.

In 2012, Paul was asked to 'help out' during match days and ended up taking on the role of Team Manager. Initially, he had looked to retire from the role two years ago but was encouraged to carry on by his wife as she loves the away weekends to herself! He didn't take much persuasion.
