Q: SoundPlayer.PlaySync stopping prematurely I want to play a wav file synchronously on the gui thread, but my call to PlaySync is returning early (and prematurely stopping playback). The wav file is 2-3 minutes.
Here's what my code looks like:
        //in gui code (event handler)
        //play first audio file
        JE_SP.playSound("example1.wav");

        //do a few other statements
        doSomethingUnrelated();

        //play another audio file
        JE_SP.playSound("example2.wav");

    //library method written by me, called in gui code, but located in another assembly
    public static int playSound(string wavFile, bool synchronous = true,
        bool debug = true, string logFile = "", int loadTimeout = FIVE_MINUTES_IN_MS)
    {
        SoundPlayer sp = new SoundPlayer();
        sp.LoadTimeout = loadTimeout;
        sp.SoundLocation = wavFile;
        sp.Load();

        switch (synchronous)
        {
            case true:
                sp.PlaySync();
                break;
            case false:
                sp.Play();
                break;
        }

        if (debug)
        {
            string writeMe = "JE_SP: \r\n\tSoundLocation = " + sp.SoundLocation
                + "\r\n\t" + "Synchronous = " + synchronous.ToString();
            JE_Log.logMessage(writeMe);
        }

        sp.Dispose();
        sp = null;

        return 0;
    }

Some things I've thought of are the load timeout, and playing the audio on another thread and then manually 'freeze' the gui by forcing the gui thread to wait for the duration of the sound file. I tried lengthening the load timeout, but that did nothing.
I'm not quite sure what the best way to get the duration of a wav file is without using code written by somebody who isn't me/Microsoft. I suppose this can be calculated since I know the file size, and all of the encoding properties (bitrate, sample rate, sample size, etc) are consistent across all files I intend to play. Can somebody elaborate on how to calculate the duration of a wav file using this info? That is, if nobody has an idea about why PlaySync is returning early.
Edits:
Of Note: I encountered a similar problem in VB 6 a while ago, but that was caused by a timeout, which I don't suspect to be a problem here. Shorter (< 1min) files seem to play fine, so I might decide to manually edit the longer files down, then play them separately with multiple calls.
Additional Info: I noticed that the same file stops consistently at the same time. The files were created using Audacity. Would it be possible that PlaySync is expecting a certain encoding of the files that differs from what I had Audacity produce?

A: Just in case anybody else runs into problems with playing a large wav file synchronously, here is a method I wrote which uses WMP as an alternative:
public static int playSoundWMP(string soundFile, bool synchronous = true)
    {
        Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
        sw.Start();

        wmp.URL = soundFile;
        wmp.controls.play();

        Thread.Yield();

        while (wmp.playState == WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsTransitioning)
        {
            Application.DoEvents();
            Thread.Yield();
        }

        int duration = Convert.ToInt32(wmp.currentMedia.duration * 1000);
        double waitTime = wmp.currentMedia.duration;

        if (synchronous)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(duration);
        }

        long elapsed = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;
        sw.Stop();
        sw = null;

        return (int) wmp.currentMedia.duration * 1000;
    }

This method uses WMP to play an audio file instead of the SoundPlayer class, so it can play larger wav files more reliably...

Glenview man pointed gun at neighbor, found dead with ammo and weapons
By Anna Kim
Pioneer Press |
Dec 04, 2019 | 12:49 PM
Glenview police discovered a cache of ammunition and several weapons Tuesday in the home of a man who had reportedly pointed a gun at his neighbor before he was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to a police news release issued Wednesday.
According to the release, police responded about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 4100 block of Cove Lane on a call that a resident there had pointed a gun at a neighbor in the building.
A woman who lives in the building entered a stairwell and encountered the man, police Sgt. Jim Foley said Wednesday.
There was no argument or conversation, and "no words" appeared to have been spoken between the two neighbors. The woman and the gunman "barely knew each other," Foley said.
The woman went back into her apartment and called authorities, Foley said.
"Police attempted to contact the armed individual at his apartment, but received no answer," police said in the release.
Officers were eventually able to enter the man's apartment. They found the 40-year-old Glenview man dead inside the unit from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
Police also discovered three handguns, two rifles and about 2,100 rounds of ammunition in the apartment.
The man had no criminal history and no prior contact with Glenview police as a suspect, but was a witness in a 2017 drug paraphernalia call, Foley said.

Glenview police say the incident is still under investigation and there is no ongoing danger to the public.

SriLankan partners with Manta Air to connect Maldives tourist islands
ECONOMYNEXT- Sri Lankan Airlines has partnered with Maldives-based Manta Air to connect travelers from Gan Island to Koodhdhoo City in the Maldives to meet the diverse needs of the luxury travel segment, the national carrier said.
''The Maldives has always been a very important market to Sri Lankan Airlines, so the airline has continuously sought to enhance its portfolio of flights to the Maldives with a view to connect global travelers to this highly coveted holiday destination," Dimuthu Tennakoon, Head of Worldwide Sales and Distribution of SriLankan Airlines said in a statement.
"Therefore, partnering with Manta Air will create new opportunities of travel for our valuable customers."
Sri Lankan was the first airline to introduce international scheduled flights to Gan in late 2016, which was halted in operations momentarily.
Since December 2021, weekly services have been initiated and from the 29th of March 2022, the frequency is scheduled to be increased to two weekly flights, due to anticipation in international leisure travel to the Maldives.
The new connecting flight, from Gan International Airport to Koodhdhoo City in Gaafu Alifu Atoll of Southern Maldives, is expected to connect many international tourists in the Maldives' booming post-pandemic tourism industry.
The Maldivian Tourist Community makes up of Europe, North America, India, and the Far East. Sri Lankan Airlines was chosen for this initiative due to its flexible travel options via Colombo to both Male and Gan and the close proximity of Sri Lanka and Maldives. (Colombo/March7/2022)

Aguila v. Corporate Caterers II, Inc.
Ricardo AGUILA, et al., Plaintiffs, v. CORPORATE CATERERS II, INC. et al., Defendants.
Brody Max Shulman, Jason Saul Remer, Remer & Georges-Pierre, PLLC, Miami, FL, for Plaintiffs. Chelsea A. Lewis, Chris Kleppin, Glasser & Kleppin, P.A., Plantation, FL, for Defendants.
Brody Max Shulman, Jason Saul Remer, Remer & Georges-Pierre, PLLC, Miami, FL, for Plaintiffs.
Chelsea A. Lewis, Chris Kleppin, Glasser & Kleppin, P.A., Plantation, FL, for Defendants.
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Defendants Corporate Caterers II, Inc. and Jim Gass's Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 38) Plaintiffs Ricardo Aguila and Teresa Aguila's Second Amended Complaint (ECF No. 36). The Motion has been fully briefed and is now ripe for review. For the reasons stated below, Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED.
Plaintiffs Ricardo and Teresa Aguila bring this action pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq. ("FLSA" or the "Act"), seeking unpaid tips and liquidated damages from individual Defendant Jim Gass and Corporate Defendant Corporate Caterers II. See generally , Second Am. Compl. (ECF No 36). Plaintiffs are delivery drivers for CCII, a catering company operating out of Miami Dade County, Florida. Id. ¶¶ 4–5, 8–9.
Plaintiffs allege that in the course of their employment, they would routinely complete three to four deliveries per day, five days a week, and "[a]s part of their delivery duties, [they] were to receive tips from each delivery." Id ¶¶ 8–11. Plaintiffs allege, however, that CCII retained some or all of these tips, in violation of the FLSA. Id. ¶ 12. Defendants now move to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, arguing that the FLSA does not provide a private cause of action for an employee to sue for withheld tips.
A motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim merely tests the sufficiency of the complaint; it does not decide the merits of the case. Milburn v. United States , 734 F.2d 762, 765 (11th Cir.1984). To survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to "state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Ashcroft v. Iqbal , 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007) ). The purpose of this requirement is "to give the defendant fair notice of what the claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Twombly , 550 U.S. at 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955.
When considering a motion to dismiss, the court must accept all of the plaintiff's allegations as true, construing them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Pielage v. McConnell, 516 F.3d 1282, 1284 (11th Cir.2008). A complaint need not set forth detailed factual allegations, but must contain enough facts to indicate the presence of the required elements. Watts v. Fla. Int'l Univ. , 495 F.3d 1289, 1302 (11th Cir.2007). "A pleading that offers 'a formulaic recitation of elements of a cause of action will not do.' " Iqbal , 556 U.S. at 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937 (quoting Twombly , 550 U.S. at 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955 ). "[C]onclusory allegations, unwarranted deductions of fact or legal conclusions masquerading as facts will not prevent dismissal." Oxford Asset Mgmt., Ltd. v. Jaharis , 297 F.3d 1182, 1188 (11th Cir.2002).
The FLSA was "designed to protect workers from the twin evils of excessive work hours and substandard wages." Howard v. City of Springfield , 274 F.3d 1141, 1148 (7th Cir.2001). To that end, "the statute requires payment of minimum wages and overtime pay, 29 U.S.C. §§ 206, 207, and gives employees deprived of these payments the right to receive them, id. § 216(b)." Malivuk v. Ameripark, LLC , No.: 1:15–2570–cv–WSD, 2016 WL 3999878, at *2 (N.D.Ga. Jul. 26, 2016) ; see also Lyon v. Whisman , 45 F.3d 758, 764 (3d Cir.1995) ("The substantive sections of the FLSA, narrowly focusing on minimum wage rates and maximum working hours, bear out its limited purpose."). The express private right of action found in § 216(b) of the Act is "limited in an important respect: It is available only when an employee is owed 'unpaid minimum wages, or [ ] unpaid overtime compensation' as a result of a minimum-wage or overtime violation." Trejo v. Ryman Hosp. Props., Inc. , 795 F.3d 442, 445 (4th Cir.2015) (Harris, J. concurring). Here, Plaintiffs allege neither minimum wage nor overtime violations. See generally Second Am. Compl. (ECF No. 36). Accordingly, Defendants argue, Plaintiffs are foreclosed from bringing a claim under the FLSA.
29 U.S.C. § 203(m). Put simply, § 203(m) permits an employer to take a credit against the minimum wage by using the employees' tips as wages, and sets forth the conditions for an employer to take such a tip credit.
Plaintiffs concede that under a consistent body of case law, courts have interpreted § 203(m) to prohibit an employer from retaining an employee's tips only if the employer pays the tipped employee less than the federal minimum wage. See Trinidad v. Pret A Manger (USA) Ltd. , 962 F.Supp.2d 545, 560 (S.D.N.Y.2013) ; see also Malivuk , 2016 WL 3999878, at *3 ("Because Plaintiff does not allege she was not paid the minimum wage, Section 203(m) does not have anything to do with this case.") (quotation marks and citations omitted); Brueningsen v. Resort Express, Inc. , No. 2:12–CV–00843–DN, 2015 WL 339671, at *4 (D.Utah Jan. 26, 2015) ("[A]n employer is not prohibited from retaining an employee's tips if the employer does not take the tip credit"). This interpretation is consistent with the Act's goal of protecting workers from the "evil[s] of overwork [and] underpay." Overnight Motor Transp. Co. v. Missel , 316 U.S. 572, 578, 62 S.Ct. 1216, 86 L.Ed. 1682 (1942).
Recently, in Trejo v. Ryman Hosp. Prosps. Inc. , 795 F.3d 442, 445 (4th Cir.2015), the Fourth Circuit addressed the question of whether an employer violated § 203(m) of the FLSA by requiring its employees to join a tip-pooling arrangement. The employees, a group of restaurant servers, did not allege that they were paid below the minimum wage, but claimed that their employer violated the FLSA by taking a portion of their tips to redistribute to bartenders, busboys and food runners. Id. The court, in affirming the district court's dismissal of the employees' claims, noted that § 203(m)" 'does not state freestanding requirements pertaining to all tipped employees,' but rather creates rights and obligations for employers attempting to use tips as a credit against the minimum wage." Id. at 448 (quoting Cumbie v. Woody Woo, Inc. , 596 F.3d 577, 581 (9th Cir.2010) (emphasis in original)). Accordingly, the court held that § 203(m) could give rise to a cause of action "only if the employer [ ] us[es] tips to satisfy its minimum wage requirements." Id. at 448.
Tips are the property of the employee whether or not the employer has taken a tip credit under section 3(m) of the FLSA. The employer is prohibited from using an employee's tips, whether or not it has taken a tip credit, for any reason other than that which is statutorily permitted in section 3(m): As a credit against its minimum wage obligations to the employee, or in furtherance of a valid tip pool.
In Perez , the Ninth Circuit addressed the question of whether the DOL Regulation is valid under Chevron . See Perez , 816 F.3d at 1086–90. The court, faced with facts nearly identical to those of Cumbie , read Cumbie 's holding as rooted in statutory silence rather than in a straightforward interpretation of § 203(m)'s plain and unambiguous language. Id. at 1087. Based on this reading, the Perez court held the DOL retained the authority to promulgate regulations interpreting § 203(m), and that the DOL Regulation was reasonable and entitled to deference. Id. at 1090. Plaintiffs contend that the Ninth's Circuit's reasoning is sound, and argue that the DOL Regulation supports its tip retention claims.
The Court declines to follow the Ninth Circuit's reasoning in Perez , as the holding of Cumbie is based on a plain language reading of § 203(m), not a gap in the statute. See Perez , 816 F.3d at 1093 ("Any rational reading of Cumbie unequivocally demonstrates that we determined the meaning of section 203(m) is clear and unambiguous, leaving no room for agency interpretation.") (Smith, J. dissenting); Brueningsen v. Resort Express Inc. , No. 2:12–CV–843–DN, 2016 WL 1181683, at *4 (D.Utah Mar. 25, 2016) ("The majority opinion in Perez ignores C[ ]umbie 's "repeated references to the plain and unambiguous language of section 203(m) and reads C[ ]umbie as rooted in statutory silence. The words 'silent and silence' do not appear in C [ ]umbie. ").
For the foregoing reasons, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint (ECF No. 38) is GRANTED. Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint (ECF No. 36) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk of the Court is instructed to CLOSE this case. All pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, this 9th day of August, 2016.

Birmingham, Rosh Ha'Ayin Celebrate 30 Years of Partnership
On Dec. 12, Birmingham and Rosh Ha'Ayin marked the 30th anniversary of what arguably is the most successful relationship to come out of Project Renewal. Now sister cities on the municipal level, ties between the two have gone far beyond the initial program started by Prime Minister Menachem Begin in the early 1980s to deal with long-neglected development towns in Israel.
Birmingham Mayor William Bell and Rosh Ha'Ayin Mayor Moshe Sinai spoke at the Israel Bonds event at Temple Beth-El, which was held jointly with the Birmingham Jewish Federation and Foundation.
Lisa Engel, one of the evening's honorees, introduced the mayors, giving her perspective as someone who has been working on the partnership from the beginning.
In 1981 she had just married, and she and husband Alan went on a Federation young leadership mission, her first trip to Israel. "We were totally unprepared when our bus pulled up to the gleaming new Kimerling Center in Rosh Ha'Ayin."
At the time, Rosh Ha'Ayin was a community of 14,000, mostly immigrants who began walking to Israel from Yemen in 1949, just after the state was declared. Israel sent airplanes for them, something the Yemenites didn't know existed. Some were reluctant to board until they were reminded of the Biblical prophecy that they would return to the land "on wings of eagles."
In the late 1970s, Max and Tillie Kimerling contributed the funds to build the community center. Five years ago, the center was renovated and expanded.
During the 1981 visit, Engel related, "we were overwhelmed by the severe needs of our Yemenite brothers and sisters, and we proclaimed we would be back."
Birmingham hasn't left since.
A five-year campaign in Birmingham raised $1.5 million, "and just as important, a people-to-people connection" including the first of many visits by the world-renowned Rosh Ha'Ayin Mandolin Girls Orchestra. The inaugural concert, also at Beth-El, drew a full house and was recorded for broadcast on local public radio.
As part of the concert, Birmingham was presented with an ornate Yemenite Torah that has been housed at the N.E. Miles Jewish Day School, where in the 1980s it was read from regularly, and used on some other occasions, including a United Synagogue regional convention in Atlanta.
A camp counselor exchange began between the communities, and Rosh Ha'Ayin became a mandatory stop on every Birmingham mission to Israel. By the early 1990s, then-mayor Yigal Yosef told visiting groups that the hills surrounding the town would soon be filled with new neighborhoods and the town would triple in size.
While many were skeptical, that is exactly what happened. New neighborhoods were built for immigrants from the former Soviet Union and for retired military; industrial parks were built and Rosh Ha'Ayin became a bedroom community of 40,000, strategically located between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
An ongoing challenge is integrating the newcomers with the Yemenite community; last year's visit by four New Orleans chefs for the dedication of a new promenade was regarded as the first major event that brought out all segments of the community.
Though Project Renewal faded, the relationship did not. The communities continued through the Jewish Agency's Partnership 2000, adding New Orleans to the mix. In 2005, Birmingham became an official sister city with Rosh Ha'Ayin, in a unique ceremony that also involved both communities pairing with al-Karak, Jordan.
Engel said today the relationship is a "partnership of equals," with both communities benefiting from the ties.
Bell recalled planting a small sapling in Rosh Ha'Ayin on his first visit there, and "the tallest one (in the park) was no more than two or three feet." On his most recent visit, "that little tree and those other saplings were tall trees."
He said Rosh Ha'Ayin has "people who are resilient, willing to take a stand, who are willing to stand on sacred ground and protect it, but more importantly, to make it thrive."
He thanked "the entire Jewish community for being who you are in the city of Birmingham," speaking of "a better day for our kids," and "blazing a path for future greatness" for Birmingham and Rosh Ha'Ayin.
Sinai said there may be 6,000 miles between the two communities, but "in practical terms there is no distance at all. I feel here at home amongst friends and amongst family."
Birmingham "helped Rosh Ha'Ayin to become more," Sinai said, noting that it is now the most-awarded city in Israel, from education to management, volunteerism and the environment, and is known as Israel's city of music.
Noting the Kimerling Center, Sinai said "everybody in Rosh Ha'Ayin… they know somewhere over the ocean there is a community that is committed to Rosh Ha'Ayin and the safety of the state of Israel."
As part of the evening, the Federation presented the Joanie Plous Bayer Young Leadership Award to Hilary Gewant, the Susan Goldberg Distinguished Volunteer Award to Lisa Engel, and the Foundation presented the N.E. Miles Lifetime Achievement Award to Pat Weil.
Operation Grassroots was also promoted, the Federation's initiative to access a challenge grant by achieving 1,000 new gifts of $100 or more, or individual campaign increases of $100 or more.

We were riding up WhiteHall in the front seat on the top deck of a #11 bus when I took this photo of storm clouds gathered over Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery. During most of our recent visit, black clouds alternated with sunshine and there were periodic drenching rains.
This was a really difficult challenge for me. I clearly need more practice seeing, sketching, and painting textures. The pie-shaped section is my attempt to paint a close-up of the bathroom sponge surface. Out of frustration I added a foam brush - a quasi-sponge!
Casey, Sandy, and I met this morning at 10 and spent the day sketching together in Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is so much fun to meet other EDM members - who you feel like you know from reading their blogs, enjoying their art, and exchanging comments.
Sandy and I would like to sketch faster and looser like Casey - so we watched her carefully! The 3 of us will upload our individual journal pages as they are completed - I'm not sure that mine are too different from my normal style as much as I tried.
Here are two photos: We started at the Toy Boat Pond, moved to Bethesda Fountain, then had lunch at the Central Park Boathouse. We ended the day on the Sculpture Garden Roof and in the Greek and Roman Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Left to Right: Casey, Shirley, Sandy.

We are nearing the end of a wonderful year during which we really got to know London so much better. It was a unique opportunity for us - being able to live in a terrace and shop in the local markets and stores in Chelsea. We were also, ever so briefly, part of a family that was working and going to school, going to doctor's visits, having a baby, and taking soccer and swimming lessons. But we also had time to ourselves to explore the streets, museums, theaters, famous national buildings, and restaurants.
Since July 2006 we have visited 6 times - each time for 2 weeks except for a 3 week visit over Christmas when our grandson decided to arrive 6 weeks early. Tomorrow we return to New York, leaving a house that feels sadly empty since our daughter and her family moved back to New York several days ago.
I'm surprised and delighted that I was able to complete this art project - finishing sketchbook #3 on this trip. Maintaining a daily sketchbook is new for me and my goal always was to develop enough skills to have many photos and a travel sketchbook from our travels. For London I used spiral Cachet Linen Watercolor Journals (9 " x 7" cold press paper) and was able to use both sides of every page without any problem. That means that I have approximately 150 pages of sketches - and all except a few have watercolor washes. I also will have a Liberty of London scrap quilt which I worked on while here to remember this year.
I am naturally drawn to all sketchbooks using pen with watercolor and I used Pigma micron pens in the beginning and Zig Millenium pens more recently. I have a small Daler Rowney travel watercolor set for days out and a palette with 12 W-N watercolor paints dried in the wells for home. I carry only my sketchbook, pen case, Niji waterbrushes, and paints in a small backpack when I leave the house.
Many of the sketchbook pages were uploaded and can be revisited by clicking through the London tag on the right side.
A combination of a real antique guard uniform and the life-size Bear that sits in front of Daisy and Tom's toy store on King's Road in Chelsea. When visiting the Antique Military Uniform dealer in Antiquarius (131/141 King's Road), I learned that you can tell which guard division wore the uniform by the placement of the buttons. Here on the left is a coat from the Coldstream guards because the buttons are in groups of 2. The Bear is dressed in the Scotch jacket because the buttons are in groups of 3.

An exercise in perspective: this is the modern stairway in the central area at the British Library on Euston Road. I'm not sure that it is possible to understand it unless you know the structure.
This was my second visit to the manuscript reading room over the past year to transcribe a letter from Col. Henry Bouquet to the British General George Gage. My Gr-Gr-Gr-Gr-grandmother Christina Wampler was kidnapped in 1757 by the Delaware Indians as child from the Wampler farm in Lebanon Township Pennsylvania. Col. Bouquet was then sent to the Ohio Territory to arrange a prisoner release with the Indians and in 1764 sent a letter to General Gage describing the negotiations and listing the prisoners who were delivered to Fort Pitt by the Indians (now Pittsburgh).

A good portion of California has a Mediterranean-like climate that results in warm, dry summers. In some locations, like San Diego, high temps and oppressive heat are rarely an issue. However, there are times when elevated humidity levels make it very difficult to enjoy the many awesome things the Golden State has to offer – at least with outdoor activities. In fact, all-time high temperatures were set in Southern California in the summer of 2018.
Another concern among Californians is drought conditions. This leads to issues with wildfires in certain areas. While there's nothing that can be done about such conditions, they can put a damper on planned activities and present potential dangers. On less serious note, some beautiful and heavily populated areas in the state also have high home prices. According to Zillow, the average home value in the state is nearly $550,000.
There's not much that can be done about California home prices in certain desirable neighborhoods, drought seasons, or humidity. However, you can take comfort in knowing that Dish Network has reasonable rates and money-saving bundles that can make it easier to get the entertainment you want for your own in-home enjoyment. Staying in to watch the many programming choices available from Dish is also a great way to take a break from the heat!
Providing reliable service is what Dish Network does best. The Golden State is also home to many other dedicated service providers. Some of them deliver tasty treats and meals right to your door, while others offer services designed to be used and enjoyed for many years. Here's a closer look at some notable California services.

Based in Los Angeles, the company offers voice services, an assortment of local and long distance phone services, Internet access, and various data-related services for small, medium and enterprise businesses. TPx primarily serves businesses and other carriers. While Internet access is available, TV service is not a service provided by this company.
Whether it's visiting San Diego's popular Gaslamp Quarter, checking out interactive exhibits at the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose, riding along the Los Angeles River Trail, or fishing at the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area in San Francisco, there's never a shortage of things to do in any of the California cities and towns we serve.

I have a 97 3500 4x4 with a 5.7 Vortec and 4L80e. I was running a whipple on it.
I need more torque for pulling a car hauler.
I sold the whipple and bought a 2000 very low mileage (30k) 7.4L L29 motor, PCM, and harness. (Tree fell on a newer truck years ago, insurance totaled, guy grabbed the motor, finally decided to sell it).
Based on other posts, I have purchased fuel injectors, FPR, and upper and lower intake gaskets. I also purchased a new billet distributor because the guy that pulled the motor smashed the stock one.
I pulled the intake today. Very glad I did. Signs of significant oil leakage pass the lower intake gaskets.
Once I get the motor back together, anything in particular I need to be wary of or keep in mind with this swap?
Motor mounts? Will I need to change the frame pads or location?
Re: Ready to swap my 7.4 L29 Vortec for my 5.7 - advice?
I. Anyone that has done this swap have any advice?
Almost ready to install. Cleaned up and installed all new gaskets.
I'm working on my own swap from small to big block. The fan shroud is different, the A/C lines haven't been without troubles (although that might just because I am going from a v-belt setup to serpentine also) Motor mounts should be just fine.
Obviously you will need to have the PCM tuned.
I pulled the 5.7 this weekend. What a greasy mess.
I am confused by the motor mounts. The lower mounts are the same on the 5.7 and 7.4. There is no provision on the frame to change the location of the lower mounts. I find it hard to believe that small block and big block bolt up to the same mounts in the same location.
Also, looking at the 2 wiring harnesses, very similar with the exception to the fuel injection connections. Since my 5.7 harness is in better shape than the 7.4, I may just try to move only the fuel injection wiring over and leave everything else I can from the original harness.
I will hopefully be putting in the new motor next weekend. Wiring harness the following weekend. Running by Christmas.
http://www.chevelles.com/forums/44-wagons-four-doors/378543-72-concours-wagon-project.html You might want to read this thread, my friend Philip is doing this to a 70 Chevelle wagon, he'll probably be open to questions about the wiring harness modifications, good luck!!
They use the same mounts and shells and frame locations for both motors. The mounts just sit further back on the big block itself.
the wiring harness from the donor motor is not in good shape, so I would like to use as much of my stock harness as possible. As I compared the 2 harnesses, all the plugs except for the fuel injection connector look to be the same.
I was wondering if I can just cut the 5.7 fuel injection connector off and wire in the 454 connector?
Both have the standard injector 1-8 colored/striped wires, so I think I can match and wire those directly?
My main question comes with the solid pink wires. The original 5.7 harness has a solid pink wire 3 into 5 junction, and then 3 individual pink wires. The 7.4 harness has only 2 solid pink wires going to the fuel injector harness plug.
1. Anyone have any idea how I wire the original 5.7 pink wires to the 2 pink wires on the 7.4 connector?
2. Any other wiring issues I will run into trying to use the 5.7 harness on the 7.4?
3. Any links to wiring diagrams?
Found wiring diagrams for the 5.7 and 7.4. They look essentially the same. Seems the pink wires are common 12v wires? I can just use any 2 on the original harness and connect them to the 2 on the 7.4 nearness connector?
Usually on GM vehicles pink or pink w/ black stripe will be 12v with ignition on. The pink wires supply power to the injectors and the pcm will supply ground pulses to complete the circuit and open the injector. It requires less switching to do it that way. In fact more often than not the ECM doesn't send power to any thing it provides the ground.

I am excited to be bringing you, over the next couple of months, some guest posts from some of my favourite wedding bloggers from around the world, in the form of beautiful inspiration boards. For me this is an opportunity to introduce you to the blogs and bloggers who are a constant source of inspiration (and support) to me, and who I am sure you will love (if you don't already) just as much as I do. We're starting the series with this Winter beauty from the fabulous Tamika at Bajan Wed – my little wedding oasis full of stunning Tropical wedding inspiration…..
I am going to hand you over to Tamika, who's here with a few words to introduce you to this gorgeous palette "As a longtime fan of Chic Vintage Brides, it is an immense honour and privilege to be with you today. I admire editor and founder Amy greatly for many reasons, including her impeccable taste, savvy know-how and great big heart! Her mood boards have also been a learning tool and source of inspiration for me so it's beyond thrilling (and a little nerve-wracking!) to share one of my own boards here.
I love the mix of shades don't you?? And I think she has captured the glamour and elegance of a chic vintage bride perfectly (and managed to make me blush along the way :)) Be sure to pop across to Bajan Wed to meet Tamika properly and see all of the beautiful wedding inspiration she has there – if you haven't considered a wedding somewhere tropical already, you most certainly will do after visiting her!
Well this is the very first in the series, and I am already looking forward to the next one.

A service vehicle with the Cummins PowerDrive hybrid system.
Cummins Inc. has unveiled the PowerDrive, a suite of plug-in hybrid electric powertrain solutions spanning light-, medium- and heavy-duty applications.
The four-mode Cummins PowerDrive system has traveled more than six million miles in a fleet setting in the U.S. and China, and work is underway to introduce it to the European market in the near future. The PowerDrive system's flexible architecture allows it to be combined with various sizes of diesel or natural gas engines and battery pack outputs, says Cummins.
According to Cummins, the system shifts between pure electric for environmentally sensitive areas with a 50-mile range and hybrid for jobs requiring more than 300 miles. It operates as a hybrid in either series or parallel configuration modes.
Series is better suited for low road speeds, such as urban driving (stop/start conditions), while parallel is ideal for higher road speeds on the highway. In a series hybrid, the electric motor is the only means of providing power to the wheels. The motor receives electric power from either the battery pack or from the engine-generator. In a parallel hybrid, the engine and electric motor combine to provide the power that drives the wheels. The third mode of electric plus comes online when higher energy is required, when the system senses gradient climbing or acceleration for overtaking.
Cummins says a U.S. Class 6 truck powered by the PowerDrive with a 50-mile electric range realizes reduced emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional vehicles. Similarly, fuel costs are reduced by 40%-80%, depending on the drive cycle.

Trust Celtic AGM
Trust reacts furiously to 'out of touch' Bankier
26th September 2021 27th September 2021 CST Admin 1 Comment AGM, resolutions, PLC, Celtic PLC
Trust reacts furiously to 'out of touch' Bankier and accused the Celtic Chairman of trolling fans in his Annual Report. Inept Bankier included finishing second in the league as a report 'highlight' and asserted that 'Celtic is in good hands'.
Celtic Trust responds to formally to the publication and content of the Annual Report and the Financial Results issued by the PLC below.
'Runners up in the SPFL Premiership'! – Season highlight. Seriously!
Seriously! According to the Celtic PLC Board this is a 'Operational Highlight' In the name of the wee donkey! What has happened in one season, for this to be a 'Highlight' not only that but the pole position highlight. To be honest, it is a true reflection of the nightmare that was season 2020/21.
Look, one of the highlights shown is '28 home matches played at Celtic Park'
The last thing any Celtic supporter wanted to see now, or even would have considered this time last season was this highlight. C'mon be honest how many of you thought for one minute or even forecasted what took place, that this very report should be an absolute joy to behold? 10IAR would be in the bag. The Celtic Trust and other fan groups have continuously been pressuring this board over their lackluster performance, that has been hidden to a certain degree by recent success. The Celtic Trust have also been, let's say berated by supporters, asking what is it we are trying to achieve? Of then to be told, 'C'mon we are winning leagues and trophies, the board is alright…..' Sorry, we don't go for that. This is evident by recent initiatives, protests in 2020 etc to question and pressure this group of NEDs and the majority shareholder into action. This is as stated supported by other fan groups, like The North Curve and their tremendous displays.
Some did see the warning signs, very early on and they have the tweets to prove it, they, in the most were ridiculed. The club retained most of the squad, we had a good transfer season, I mean, to name a few, we got Jon Joe Kenny, Shane Duffy, Diego Laxalt and of course Barkas. We all had high hopes for the team and the man hired in the shower. Bear (sorry) with me, the report does cover that period after all.
How wrong we were. Any way that's another topic that has already been discussed on many blogs.
What is the perception this Board has of the fans, their thinking, their joined-up sustainable strategies they speak of, that they think that 'Runners up in the SPFL Premiership' was not only a highlight, but as stated earlier, in pole position? I would suggest 'Polar Opposites' is apt in this situation. The end of last season was the polar opposite of expectations, as in this current Board and the fans, the lifeblood of this club, are right at this very moment and we at The Celtic Trust, with this Board in place do not see this chasm closing anytime soon.
Ok, so let's discuss the Chairman's Statement.
The first few paragraphs are explaining the club made a loss, then tries to justify why. To simplify, a drop in revenue due to Covid19 and the inability to bring in more cash in the selling of players. Fair enough, eh? Any way Chairman explains it's no biggie as they (Board) are satisfied with their performance and what they did to mitigate the challenges. They squared it away, they done their best. It is what it is, though I always wonder, if there was no covid and fans were in attendance, would we be in this situation now, would things have changed quicker. I would suggest they would have.
There is also a veiled warning that current ongoing Covid restrictions for large revenues will again have a negative affect on next years results. If only we qualified for the Champions League, if only this Board did what they are paid to do, if only Peter Lawwell and Lennon were called out earlier. If only….. . Doesn't really matter as we have sold a few more players that we 'transformed 'they will show a positive in next years finances, if only we qualified for the Champions League, sorry already said this.
The 16.6 million that the board worked so hard to maintain has apparently been used as a base to invest in this recent transfer window. 50,000 season tickets purchased must have been a blessing. The vast amounts spent on merchandise. Who remembers the Initiative by the Celtic Trust asking fans to hold back on the purchase of merchandise, don't feed this Board with your hard earned cash, especially with the contempt they are showing towards you?
However, support the team? Hindsight, eh, doesn't seem to bad an initiative now, does it?
A major overhaul of the playing squad has been mentioned. Brilliant, as if it wasn't needed, as if this was out of the box thinking, who approved those players in the first place? I would also suggest a veiled dig at Lennon in the language of getting rid '… of loan players that had amplified the squad' no names necessary. Maybe just corporate language for the guy we hired in the shower cost us a fortune, these funds were a major factor in the losses this year, but we (the board) are satisfied, big pats on the back all around.
Like others, I admit to being very positive by the current inclusions to the team, then again, I felt the exact same this time last season. How many are Ange players? How many did big Dom negotiate? Who identified and recruited them?
Strategy is mentioned. Player development and player trading, no its not FIFA 2022, a 'self-sustaining business model' This has PL all over it. Many will say, its where we are, its how it is. Is it? Is it really? Look around Europe at club's half our size performing much better in European competition. But its fine, Celtic PLC have a strategy and the current Board is satisfied.
More pats on the back, this time as mentioned previously for the ability to transform young players. How does this measure up against the project players that were not 'transformed, or indeed the vast fortunes spent on loan deals, for a very short term strategic myopic outlook.
Very short tenure CEO big Dom gets a shout. Appointed after an exhaustive search by the current Board, who do ok and are satisfied. I wonder how he will explain this on his CV. Maybe one day we we'll find out the real reason? It's ok, he has been replaced by 'an absolute team player' only this Board would come up with that term, trying to justify but not make it too obvious, aye. Our new Acting CEO apparently 'carries the confidence of the Board' the problem of course is this Board does not carry the confidence of the Celtic Trust or I would argue most of the Celtic support. So where does this leave the PL clone that is Michael Nicholson. Nicholson has been with Celtic since 2013 and is definitely the right fit to step right into the shitstorm PL has left behind, will change little and do as he is instructed.
Nothing much after this to be honest. Just making up the word count, filling in some space. Still some room for some more additional back slapping. Assuring us fans, those who pay their salaries, allow them the privileged position to represent our club that we are served by a talented executive led by a guy who has been in the role for a few weeks, wow he really has made an impression has our Mike.
The Chairman's last words: 'Celtic is in good hands'
We at the Celtic Trust beg to differ, this is shown by our recent correspondence published on our website.

Members will also be aware of the recently approved resolution to be submitted for the up and coming AGM. (Click to download) (Click to sign and support)
Relations with the Celtic Trust and Small Shareholders in respect of the less than full justification for voting against Resolution 12 tabled at the 2019 AGM that ignored the evidence provided.
2 The Celtic PLC Board's response to questions about Celtic's knowledge of the 5WA.
The unsatisfactory manner in which the shares for value proposal was handled in May this year.
The Celtic Trust will continue to hold this Board to account until we see change that is in the benefit of this football club and its fans.
Results for the year ended 30 June 2021
Probably the important points to make with regard to the Results are that this is a preliminary announcement and that the Annual Report which contains all the important information that shareholders need to properly assess performance will not be posted to shareholders or be available online for another couple of weeks. The Annual Report will provide a lot more information relating to the club's financial performance as well as providing Strategic, Directors' and Corporate Governance Reports.
The preliminary Results contain basic financial information with supporting commentary from the Chair and CEO and notes to financial statements. The financial statements contain few surprises as we all knew that season ticket monies and sponsorships remained intact and that it would be supporters' discretionary spend on match days that would be adversely affected. The figures show that football and stadium operation revenues dropped by £15m but merchandising revenues increased by £7.5m. This suggests that household budgets earmarked for match day spending was re-directed to merchandising. The £11.5m loss for the year was following an unexplained credit of £5m which we can assume is a UK government's Job Retention Scheme payment.
There are some interesting statements and the usual references peppered throughout the supporting narrative; operational highlights led with 'Runners Up in the SPFL Premiership' which raises a smile! The fact is the year was a disastrous one for Celtic and there were no positive operational highlights to speak of.
We won no trophies or tournaments. The chairman believes the club is directed by individuals with demonstrable experience and supported by a dedicated cast of colleagues and he thanks them all. No mention of bad management decisions or praise for the supporters who financially supported the club when they needed it most. Praise for the fans is left to the CEO who says we are 'the best supporters in world football' He also believes Covid19 disrupted our winning rhythm and he looks forward to this current season with optimism. Time will tell.
Given Celtic's status as an AIM listed company, it should be appreciated that the Results and the supporting narrative are directed at the company's shareholders and the wider financial community and it those constituencies that will judge the financial performance of the company and whether the company's affairs would be better managed by a better Board of directors, so many bad decisions having been made in the last three years.

Billie Jean King sends off class of 2011 at UVM's 207th commencement

University of Vermont,Tennis legend Billie Jean King served up three pieces of advice to grads at Sunday's commencement ceremony: No. 1: Learn how to learn. No. 2: Relationships are everything. No. 3: Be a problem solver."Study history," King said, elaborating on her first point. "The more you know about history, the more you know yourself." One of Life magazine's 100 most important Americans in the 20th century, King changed history when, in 1973, she beat former champion Bobby Riggs in The Battle of the Sexes, sending a strong message for gender equality at a time when, King noted on Sunday, women couldn't get their own credit cards.On her second point — relationships are everything — King told graduates, "You'll never know how you'll touch another person's life or how they'll touch yours." As an example, she told the story of meeting Elton John. Although both were initially too shy to say hello (a fact that seemed impossible to King, who idolized the musician), they were introduced when they attended the same party weeks before King's fateful match against Riggs and became close friends, remaining so today.Celebrities and stars aside, King said, everyone needs "she-roes and heroes," adding that professors, parents, siblings and coaches are among the most important people in our lives. Toward the end of her remarks, King cited Nelson Mandela as an example of how to live life as a problem solver. Visiting his cell on Robben Island, said King, who has herself worked on behalf of social change and equality for women and those in the LGBT community, was among the most profound experiences of her life.Closing out her time at the podium, King pulled out a racket, and with Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom" playing on the speakers — a song he dedicated to her — she lobbed more than a dozen tennis balls to the crowd.Approximately 8,000 people gathered to celebrate this year's commencement, the 207th in the university's history. Originally scheduled to take place on the University Green, the ceremony was moved inside to the Multipurpose Facility in the Athletic Complex — not, as board chair Robert Cioffi quipped in his opening remarks, to make King feel more at home on the indoor tennis courts, but because record rainfall this spring had left the Green too soggy to accommodate the event.In his comments, Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin noted this year's extreme weather in Vermont — from a long, cold winter to this spring's historic flooding of Lake Champlain — as a palpable reminder to students of the "responsibility and obligation of dealing with climate change."President Daniel Mark Fogel's remarks celebrated the student efforts that have made UVM what it is today, from a fledgling recycling program 20 years ago to student activism that "pushed the campus toward levels of diversity that some would have never thought possible.""Hold on," Fogel said, "to what you feel now — the optimism and energy, the open mind and sense of possibility of a new college graduate."At this year's ceremonies, approximately 3,097 graduates received diplomas, including 2,475 bachelor's, 392 master's, 97 doctoral and 111 M.D. degree recipients, in addition to 22 post-baccalaureate certificates. Degree recipients hail from an estimated 43 states and 19 countries. Approximately 1,235 graduates are from Vermont. The graduating class includes an expected 229 African, Latino/a, Asian and Native American (ALANA) and bi/multi-racial students.In addition to King, the university conferred honorary degrees on seven other individuals who have had a positive impact on the state, university and nation: Letitia C. Biddle, Major General Michael D. Dubie, Bruce Lisman, Keith M. Miser, Dr. Thomas J. Sullivan, Professor Emerita Marion Brown Thorpe, and Simon Pearce. Read full bios of each of the degree recipients.During the ceremony, the UVM Alumni Association presented the annual George V. Kidder Outstanding Faculty Award for excellence in teaching to Stephanie Kaza, professor of environmental studies. Kaza, who has been actively engaged in campus sustainability initiatives to reduce waste, conserve energy and promote environmental values, teaches courses with a focus in the environmental humanities.Three faculty members were added to the ranks of University Distinguished Professor: Jerold Lucey, professor of pediatrics; Brooke Mossman, professor of pathology; and Susan Wallace, professor and chair of the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. The distinction, begun in 2009, carries with it rights to use the title for the duration of their careers at UVM; an annual stipend for scholarly pursuits; and service as an informal advisory board to the university administration.Eight students were honored with five university awards. Claire Chevrier won the Mary Jean Simpson Award, honoring the senior woman who exhibits the highest qualities of leadership, academic competence and character; Bryce Jones won the F.T. Kidder Medal, honoring the senior man ranking first in character, leadership and scholarship; Jason DePatie and Kimberley Davy won the Class of 1967 Award, presented to seniors who best exhibit leadership, academic competence and character, and who have earned the respect of faculty and fellow students; Briana Martin and Kofi Mensah won the Keith M. Miser Leadership Award, recognizing outstanding service to the university; and Gregory Herman and Haylley Johnson won the Elmer Nicholson Achievement Prize, recognizing the greatness of the students' UVM experiences and the expectation that they will make a major contributions in their fields of interest.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, whose wife is infected with the virus, has said this is the country's most difficult moment since its 1936-39 civil war."Only the oldest, who knew the hardships of the civil war and its aftermath, can remember collective situations that were harsher than the current one. The other generations in Spain have never, ever had to face as a collective something so hard," he said when he imposed the state of emergency on March 14.Spain's demographics partly explain why it has been one of the worst-affected nations. The country has one of the longest life expectancies in Europe and the pandemic has taken a high toll on its large elderly population, who are especially vulnerable to the disease. The coronavirus death toll in Spain surged to 4,089 after 655 people died within 24 hours, the health ministry said on Thursday.It was a 19 percent increase on figures released Wednesday by the authorities in Spain, which has the world's second highest death toll from the disease after Italy.The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 rose to 56,188, the ministry said. Topics : Despite a national lockdown imposed on March 14, which parliament on Thursday agreed to extend until April 11, both deaths and infections have continued to mount, with officials warning this week would be particularly bad. But the rise in the number of new deaths was smaller than that recorded on Wednesday when the figure rose by 738 or 27 percent.Health authorities are hoping it will soon become clear whether the lockdown is having the desired effect.The Madrid region has suffered the brunt of the epidemic with 17,166 infections — just under a third of the total — and 2,090 deaths, or 51 percent of the national figure. read more

Share Sharing is caring! Tweet Share NewsRegional TRUE UNITY: Trinidad and Tobago governments sign deal for airlines merger by: – May 27, 2011 25 Views no discussions Share PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC- The Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica governments Thursday hailed the agreement allowing for the Port of Spain-based Caribbean Airlines (CAL) to take over the operations of Air Jamaica as true sense of economic integration within the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).At a brief signing ceremony here, Jamaica's Finance Minister Audley Shaw said Kingston was "therefore hopeful for a very very long and fruitful relationship."But perhaps, just perhaps, this merger between Caribbean Airlines and Air Jamaica will indicate to the region the true sense of economic integration. That there are other things we can do in this region, this therefore should be the beginning of so many other areas of partnership".His Trinidad and Tobago counterpart, Winston Dookeran said Caribbean airline will now "have legal access to all the routes that were being flown by Air Jamaica giving it an opportunity to expand in the global arena".He said the agreement will also allow Caribbean Airlines to claim "it is the designated air carrier for Jamaica in the world at large".In April last year, the Bruce Golding government assumed all financial liabilities up to the end of that month for Air Jamaica with CAL assuming the financial risk of continuing Air Jamaica's activities from May 1, 2010.Under the agreement, the Jamaica government will own 16 per cent of the Trinidad-based CAL while Port of Spain will spend an estimated US$49.2 million to facilitate the expansion of CAL, which took over r five of Air Jamaica's profitable routes last year. read more

Is the Pokemon Story Simple or Complex?
Comments Off on Is the Pokemon Story Simple or Complex?
The most up to date information in the Pokemon globe as you have actually unquestionably listened to is the launch of Pokemon Black and also White. The video game itself is a should have together with obviously every one of the interesting offshoot items. There are brand-new Pokemon Black and also White packed playthings, brand-new cards for the Pokemon card video game consisting of Shiney Entei and also Raikon. Every little thing from wonderful brand-new Plushies to fixed are to be had.
Kid's minds are great. We grownups are continuously attempting to educate them exactly how to believe when actually the youngster's mind, like the Pokemon, has unique powers and also is expanding by itself. As a grown-up, the Pokemon tale, I confess, leaves me hanging. Yet I do not believe like a youngster.
I constantly really felt that The Wizard of Oz was the best movie ever before produced youngsters. In fact I still really feel by doing this- it is an intricate tapestry of the series and also wonders of life, of abundant structures and also significance, of love and also wrong, and also most notably, the truth that life will certainly constantly toss at you points you can never ever get ready for despite just how much you discover which just fearlessness and also merit will certainly win the day. As a tale, The Wizard of Oz leaves the pokemon emulator collection crawling in the dirt.
However the functions of both tales are totally various. While Oz tosses us right into a troubled globe, Pokemon motivates- no, pressures- the young mind to utilize his creativity, develop globes, and also fill in voids. Pokemon as a tale falls short in a lot of means to count. It is insufficient, it is not reputable or sensible, its property is not described and also does not make good sense. Its globe remains in no feeling of words a full globe. It has no message and also , as for life lessons are worried, absolutely nothing to show. It is not a tale that grownups can appreciate together with kids.

Q: Find an anchor tag in an HTML page using AngularJs I have an Angular function that retrieves the content of a folder:
 $http({url: dir, method: 'GET'}).then(function (results) {
                        console.log(results.data);
                        });

This returns an HTML page as follows:

2.jpg 	309169 bytes 	Jan 8, 2015 3:45:17 PM

What I need is get the anchor tags in the HTML.

A: If you're using jquery, you just use jquery like normal:
jq(htmlBlob).find('a')

If you're not using jquery, you have jqlite, which can find tags at the highest level. Read about jqlite here:
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.element
It would look something like:
angular(htmlBlob).find('a')

A: Actually I found the answer in pure Javascript:
var ul = document.createElement("ul");
    ul.innerHTML = response; //data retrieved from AngularJs
    var links = ul.querySelectorAll("a");

Eduard Selling
Eduard Selling (1834-1920) (a photo from atelier Otto Patzig, Maler und Photograph, 1870-1885, Würzburg)
Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.
In April 1886, Eduard Selling, a professor of mathematics and astronomy at the University of Würzburg, Germany, received a patent for a calculating machine with very interesting construction.
The driving force behind this invention was (as usually) the personal need for a better calculating tool. It's known that since 1877 Selling had been commissioned by various ministries dealing with actuarial matters, especially on the revision of the pension system in Bavaria. For his extensive mathematical calculations he used a calculating machine of Thomas de Colmar, with which he was not satisfied. That's why, he decided to create his own entirely different machine, not only suitable for multiplication, but also to be offered at a lower price and to avoid all drawbacks of Thomas' machine.
The first variant of the device was patented in 1886 (Deutsches Reichs-Patent №39634, 16 April, 1886), later on Selling will receive three more patents in Germany for improvements of his machine, as well as patents in Austria (pat. №31289 and №20923), Belgium (№74104), Switzerland (№31942), France (№175412), England (№8912 and №23737), Italy (№20326), and USA (see patent US420667A). The machine was described also in his book Eine neue Rechenmaschine, Berlin, Springer, 1887.
Eduard Selling's multiplication machine
The calculating machine of Selling has two main variants (let's call them first machine and second machine). It was put in production, although in small quantities (some 30-40 machines was produced until the production ended in 1898), by the Workshop for Precision Mechanics of Max Ott, in Munich. The price was 400 marks. The machine of Selling was awarded at the Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair) in 1893.
Selling's first multiplication machine (© Deutsches Museum, München)
In the construction of the machine took part the teenager son of a friend of Selling—the future genius of mechanic calculating machines, Christel Hamann.
The internal mechanism of the machine is based on so called Nürnberger Schere (a popular children toy at this time), in English this mechanism is called Nuremberg scissors or lazy-tongs (see the patent drawing below).

The machine is 35 cm wide, 40 cm long and 15 cm high.
The multiplicand digits must be entered in a representation that differs from the decimal system, e.g. 18 must be represented as 20-2, although the result is shown in the decimal system.
The calculating wheels of a regular calculating machine (which transfer the motion to the digital wheels) are replaced by lazy-tongs. To the joints of these the ends of racks are pinned, and as they are stretched out the racks are moved forward 0 to 9 steps, according to the joints they are pinned to. The racks gear directly in the digital-wheels, and the figures are placed on cylinders. The carrying is done continuously by a train of epicycloidal wheels. The working is thus rendered very smooth, without the jerks which the ordinary carrying tooth produces; but the arrangement has the disadvantage that the resulting figures do not appear in a straight line, a figure followed by a 5, for instance, being already carried half a step forward. This is not a serious matter in the hands of a mathematician or an operator using the machine constantly, but it is serious for casual work. Anyhow, it has prevented the machine from being a commercial success. Actually, this was the second machine with continuous tens carry, after the calculating machine of Chebyshev. For ease and rapidity of working it surpasses all others machines. Since the lazy-tongs allow of an extension equivalent to five turnings of the handle, if the multiplier is 5 or under, one push forward will do the same as five (or less) turns of the handle, and more than two pushes are never required.
Obviously the problem of tens carry was solved in a new, albeit very complex, way. Moreover, besides the vulnerability of tens carry mechanism, other parts of the machine also have complications. That's why Selling tried to improve the mechanism in his second machine (see the photo below), although without great success.

In one of his German patents (№88297 from 1894), Selling attempted to design an electric calculating machine (with no engine, but through contacts and electromagnets), but apparently without success.
The calculating machines of Eduard Selling demonstrated exceptional ideas and ingenuity, but were fragile, complex and difficult for manufacturing and work, that's why they didn't achieve any market success.
Biography of Eduard Selling
Eduard Selling was born on 5 November 1834, in Ansbach, Bavaria, Germany, in a family of a professor. He studied mathematics at Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in München, where he was a student of the famous German mathematician and astronomer Philipp Ludwig Ritter von Seidel.
In 1859 Selling obtained a Ph.D. degree in mathematics at Universität München (with thesis on prime numbers, under the supervision of Bernhard Riemann), and in 1860 he was appointed as an associate professor (professor extraordinarius) of mathematics at the Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universität in Würzburg, recommended by the famous mathematician Leopold Kronecker. Selling hold this position and taught mathematics and astronomy until his retirement in 1906.
Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg
In 1873 Selling wrote an important paper on binary and ternary quadratic forms which was also translated into French and cited by Henri Poincaré, Émile Picard and Paul Gustav Heinrich Bachmann. In 1879 Selling was appointed as a curator of the Astronomical Institute. He proved himself as a very good mathematician and published a series of works on number theory and then on insurance mathematics. On behalf of various ministries, he developed models, with which the pension system in Bavaria could be rearranged.
Eduard Selling died on 31 January, 1920, in München.

Being faithful to Christ involves effort. It requires planning, guidance, and endurance, District Apostle Enrique Eduardo Minio from Argentina says. Reflections on our annual motto.
As I reflected on the motto which the Chief Apostle gave us for this year, the following thoughts came up.
Following implies that you know where you are going. If we are not clear about where we are going in everyday life—in our family, at work, or on a personal level—things can quickly lead to failure.
In our case, God has already made His plan and chosen and invited us to reach the goal He has promised us. The promise which we as children of God have been given leads us into eternal fellowship with Him, a wonderful and precious goal. We know where we are going, but are we ready to walk the path? Every day anew we have to decide whether we want to walk the path or not.
In order to reach our goal we must be clear about who can guide and help us along the way if we are disoriented or get lost. The guide whom we should follow is not a person, but Jesus Christ. With Christ as our example we can be sure that there will be no fluctuations or changes. God's plan will be fulfilled and we will safely reach the goal. Deciding for Christ is our daily task.
In order to reach a goal you need persistence and endurance. There is a saying: "Constant dripping wears away the stone." Persistence accomplishes things. On our path of faith it is not any different. In order to attain the image of Christ we must follow Him faithfully. And that means overcoming ourselves, not through our own strength, but through the strength we receive from God bit by bit until we have managed to crucify the old creature in us and have assumed the likeness of Christ. That is our daily task.
In a nutshell: we know where we are going, are prepared to walk the path, and have a perfect guide. Now all we need to do is decide for Christ every day and persevere in this until we have reached our goal. A beautiful challenge!
