Q: AS3: return array from event listener? I have an event listener applied to an xml load and it currently traces out the values it grabs which is fine, but what I want it to do is return an array for me to use. I have the Array creation and return working from "LoadXML" (it returns the array) but I can't get this to work with an event listener.
The event listener runs the "LoadXML" function fine, but I have no idea how to take the returned array for use, this is an example of how my event listener works right now:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());

and my assumption of how I would take the array (this doesn't work):
var rArray:Array = xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());

so instead I tried the following:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function():Array{
    var rData:Array = LoadXML(datahere);
    return rData;
}

but that doesn't worth either.
So: How do I return an array from an eventlistener? Thanks!

A: I think there is some confusion of how event listeners work. Actually, I'm surprised your not getting compile errors with your current code.
When adding an event listener, what you should be passing in is a reference to a function to be called at a later time. Then when that function gets called, it will pass an Event object with any retrived data for working with. Here is a example:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleLoadComplete/*Note: No brackets, this is a reference*/);

//will be called at a later time, not instantly.
function handleLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
    var xml:XML = xmlLoader.data as XML;
    //do what ever you want this the XML...
}

Hopefully that makes things clearer for you.
Happy Coding!

A: Why not just use a component-level object and set its value (xml contents in your LoadXML() method)?
var rArray:Array;
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);

private function LoadXML(event:Event=null):void {
    // set this.rArray in here...
}

A: It's possible to make returnedArray contain an array created by convertXML, but not in the way you're trying to do it. Flash simply doesn't work that way.
This is roughly what happen when you run the code from pastebin:

*

*Start running function loadInformation()

*

*var returnedArray:Array  = loadinformation("http://website.com/xml.xml");

*Tell Flash that when xmlLoader loads completely, it should run LoadXML()

*

*xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);

*Start loading an XML file

*

*xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlurl));

*Tell Flash what LoadXML() is (and convertXML())

*

*function LoadXML(e:Event):void  {...}

*Stop running function loadInformation()

*Flash goes off and does other stuff while waiting for the XML file to load

*The XML file finishes loading. Flash calls LoadXML() like it was told to.

*

*Note that LoadXML() is being called by Flash, not by loadInformation().

*LoadXML() processes the XML file.

To get the converted array data, you need to do something like clownbaby's answer: set the value of returnedArray directly while inside LoadXML.
var returnedArray:Array;

loadinformation("http://website.com/xml.xml");

function loadinformation(xmlurl:String):Array{
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    var xmlData:XML = new XML();
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlurl));
}

function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
    xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
    returnedArray = convertXML(xmlData);
}

function convertXML(xml):Array{
    // Does some stuff with the XML and returns an array
    return rArray;
}

One of my favorite type of photography, other than weddings, is portraits, especially cosplay portraits. Cosplayers put so much work and dedication in creating these costumes. It is always an honor when I get called to shoot them. Of course, when Americo contacted me for shooting his Micolash – Bloodborne Cosplay I was more than thrilled.
Cosplay is the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game. It started as dressing up like one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime. But now you can see people cosplay about any type of fandom really. There are some different levels of it. From simply inspired cosplay to a full-blown identical interpretation of the character down to the last detail. The amount of work put into it is amazing. Americo has been cosplaying for a couple of years and his skills are getting better and better. This time he decided to call me to take photos of Micolash, a character from the video game Bloodborne. (side notes: Bloodborne is an amazing game! If you haven't played it yet …you should!). We were lucky to have very good friends with an awesome looking backyard, perfect background for this dark and disturbed character.

Erica on the set of an International production!!!
18 Dec 2020 | News
Hi Erica, we'd like to do a short interview with you about this TV series which is due to be screened soon. What were you feeling while you were filming?
Apprehension, adrenaline, jitters, people moving about everywhere….I didn't understand who everyone in the troupe was, in the middle of the Moroccan desert!!! (Beni Mellal – Marocco) I remember it being really hot and we had to wear really heavy costumes.
However they are amazing memories, the attention given to hair and make-up, the dressing rooms and then….Action……..AN INCREDIBLE FEELING!!! I was constantly seeking reassurance from the actor I had in front of me (Félix Moati).
How did he behave with you?
He was always very helpful, we tried out the scene before and because he is an experienced professional actor he explained all the roles to me, he accompanied me on set and made me feel at ease.
Did the director give you precise instructions or did he give you some freedom?
Everyone was quite surprised because rarely does he (Oded Ruskin) dedicate much time to a brief scene, especially to an actor in their first important experience. Instead with me he gave me advice because I was concentrating too much on the actor I had in front of me. Given that my character had never met the other actor's character before, the director explained to me that it was wrong to do so. Oded was very present, actually he even let me watch the scene….something that never happens!
We have to remember that when we are on a set it really is a real job. Were all the people and movements a distraction for you?
On that day in particular there was a lot going on because it was an action scene. We filmed it many times because there were many vehicles and extras and it was very difficult to coordinate everyone's movements. However when they called me on set, I was able to concentrate and isolate myself from everything.
Who is the distributor of this series? Where can we watch you?
It will be on important platforms….I'm so excited, Hulu, HBO, Arte, it will be amazing to see myself there!!! It was obvious from the start that this was a really professional set!!!
Do you think that this experience can lead on to something bigger? As an actor and as a person?
It is something quite unexpected, I have been able to understand the value of a professional set and I have also recognized the need to listen because everyone has their own interests, dop, director, editors etc. but while I was there I needed to follow just a few people.
On a personal note, what does acting mean for you?
Understanding yourself and others, a key that can open doors, worlds and sensations that cannot be lived normally, in order to explore many different lives in just one.
Usually aspiring actors think that making a film is a quick process but it is not like that at all, what advice would you give them?
Filming took about two hours, the other 8/9 hours were spent in hair and make-up and then just waiting around. You have to stay alert and attentive to everything that is happening around you, be careful to whom you are talking to because you risk losing important energy which you need when filming starts. I recommend saving energy and bring lots of books!
An actor who has other skills is important. Erica speaks 6 languages.
Having different kinds of know-how gives you more possibilities of working in this sector, above all in a set or tv series likes this where there is a French – Swiss – Israeli coproduction. Being able to speak different languages helped me to take part in this series which was filmed in English.
What aspects of your studies at FMA would you have been able to apply to the set?
I would have been able to understand the roles of everyone more easily. I would also have been able to prepare the character beforehand through text analysis, I would have created a back story in order to be more prepared on set and to give more meaning to the lines.
Would you recommend Florence Movie Academy?
A continually evolving environment with teachers who give high quality instruction. A place with few faces but lots of heart…………
Erica, an FMA student who has undertaken her first important acting job in a tv series made by an international production. A positive, enthusiastic young woman ready to take on the world!!!
We can guarantee you that you won't forget her gaze……………

Kværner builds the plant: New controversial gold mine in Papua New Guinea
Kværner is, along with two other companies, responsible for planning and construction work of the new gold mine on the island Lihir in Papua New Guinea. The mining activity started in May this year, but environmentalists warned about the consequences even before the activity started. Tonnes of toxic waste will be dumped straight into the ocean every day. Experts consider the sea areas around Lihir as one of the areas with the richest bio diversity world wide, and it is estimated that at least seven kilometres of coral reef will be lost.
Artikkelen er mer enn to år gammel. Ting kan ha endret seg.
By Morten Rønning
Norwatch
The investors behind Lihir Gold Limited (LGL), among others the British-Australian Rio Tinto and the Papua New Guinean government, claim that the island with a size of 200 square kilometres is too small for depositing the toxic waste. Therefore, the company will, throughout the 36 years of mining, transport 89 million tonnes of mud and 330 million tonnes of polluted waste rock through a pipeline into the ocean to a depth of 125 metres. The gold reserves in Lihir, which is situated north-east of the mainland, is considered one of the world's largest, approximately 42.5 million ounces in total.
When asked by NorWatch how Kværner assesses the environmental impacts from this mine, we are referred to the mining company itself.
The Future in Our Hands (FIOH) consider Kværner's supplies to the Lihir mine as another glaring example of Norwegian companies' dubious undertakings in the South.
- Mining activity in these areas has already had huge negative consequences for people and for the environment. Can a company as big and rich as Kværner really be known to make profit on such a destructive activity?, asks Tor Traasdahl, manager of FIOH.
In ore processing, 1800 tonnes of cyanide will be used per year, and the waste will, in addition to cyanide, contain substances such as arsenic, aluminium, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, zinc, chrome, and quicksilver. Many of these substances are very poisonous even in small quantities. One example is copper, which is poisonous for animals and human beings in a concentrate of 1 particle per 1,000,000 (i.e. in a concentration of 0,001 per thousand.)
- We clean the waste of cyanide before every discharge, says the person in charge of the environment in Rio Tinto's subsidiary Lihir Gold Management, John Forth, to NorWatch.
Other mines in the area also discharge waste into the ocean. Both in the Philippines and in the Misima mine in Papua New Guinea, this way of handling waste has lead to big damages to marine life, and it has had negative consequences for the local population, among other things it has resulted in reduced fish catch. In the company's own prospectus of the mine, it is said that the discharges will reduce the diversity of life in the coral reefs.
- Discharge of waste into the ocean is allowed in many places. For example, the American Environmental Protection Agency will consider permitting such discharge in places where the conditions are favourable, says John Forth.
According to the company's own prospectus, the mining activity will also ruin the island's most important nesting places of the Melanesian oven hen, a bird of the megapode family.
"Can a company as big and rich as Kværner really be known to make profit on such a destructive activity?"
Tor Traasdahl, manager of FIVH (The Future in Our Hands)
Secured against lawsuits
The company holds the right to prospect for gold on the entire island. The first mine will cover an area of 2 square kilometres and will reach a depth of 300 metres.
The land owners among the 5,500 inhabitants of the island have had to sign an agreement (memory of understanding) with the company to get their part of the fee paid by LGL for extracting gold from their areas. The agreement gives the land owners the right to 20% of the fee paid, 50% goes to local authorities, and 30% to the local development agency. In the agreement, the inhabitants renounce the right to advance claims against the company in the future.
The first payments were recently made, after the sale of gold from the mine started in June this year. According to the plan, the company will pay a monthly fee for the next 36 years. Next year, the company estimates to produce 550,000 ounces of gold.
The relationship between the local population who have had to move away from their areas, and the newly-arrived construction workers, has come to a head. Early 1996, the frustrated local population interrupted the work.
Kværner's assignment
Kværner Metal Davy Nonferrous Division in California carries out the assignment for LGL. In co-operation with the Australian company Kinhill Engineering, and the American company Fluor Daniel Inc., they are in charge of planning, construction work, provision of machinery, and construction management.
This includes the responsibility for equipment for ore crushing and processing, an oxygen plant, a diesel aggregate, equipment for cleaning acids and washing carbon, mud disposal, in addition to buildings, quay structures, airplane runway, industrial area, and churches. In essence, the mining activity as such is the only thing the partners are not involved in. At most, the three companies have had 2000 workers in Lihir. The work commenced in 1994, and it will be finished by the end of this year.
Jill Sherman, sales manager in the Kværner company, is unwilling to inform how much their contract with LGL is worth, and only refers to the costs of the entire LGL project, which amount to US$ 750 million. The contract of the three partners represents approximately 15% of the expenses of the part of the project which they are in charge of.
Kværner in Papua New Guinea
Kværner Metals Davy Nonferrous Division in California is, along with the partners Kinhill Engineering and Fluor Daniel Inc., in charge of projecting and construction work in a recently started gold mine on the island Lihir. The company was part of former Trafalgar House, which was taken over by Kværner in April 1996. In total, the three partners have had up to 2000 workers in Lihir.
The work will be finished by the fourth quarter of this year.
The main shareholders in Kværner are Bergesen d.y. ASA, Chase Manhattan, the Norwegian National Insurance Fund, and Orkla ASA.
Lihir Gold Limited
Lihir Gold Limited operates as a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, the world's largest mining company. They hold around 17% of the voting shares through the company Southern Gold Bahamas. The Canadian company Vengold Inc. is another owner of this company. Additional owners in LGL are, among others, Nuigini Mining, and the Papua New Guinean government.
The financing of the mining project is spread among several institutions. Union Bank of Switzerland has lent US$ 300 million to the project. This loan is partly guaranteed through MIGA (Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency), a subdivision of the World Bank. Other guarantees have been pledged by the Canadian Export Development Corporation, and the Australian Export Finance and Insurance Corporation.

Shabazz Palaces Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star / Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines SubPop
Omitting 2016's Live at Third Man Records release, it's been three years since Shabazz Palaces released an album. So, how have Ishmael Butler – formerly of the jazz-spritzed, 90s hip-hop trio Digable Planets – and multi-instrumentalist partner Tendai Maraire occupied their minds during this period of radio silence? You could speculate that Ish's job as an A&R for Sub Pop has dominated most of his creative agenda over the past few years; selflessly channelling his talents through the minds of future aspiring stars rather than focusing on his own musical journey. But now, the duo have surged with a wealth of new material: Shabazz Palaces return with not one, but two albums of afrofuturist rap escapism.
These two epic albums chronicle the sentient being known as Quazarz, who is sent to a fictional land known as 'Amurderca' as a musical emissary. Record one, Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star, introduces our protagonist within a brutal backdrop of bigotry and disorder. Whether Butler and Maraire use the story of Quazarz to parody that of our own social environs is only subtly portrayed throughout the duration of the album. However, as the wisp of reverberated strings echo out on tracks such as Fine Ass Hairdresser and skeletal drum loops bounce around Butler's buttery flow on That's How City Life Goes, there seems frequent nods to this gross political lunacy Quazarz has surrounded himself in. "Sliding cornered by more law enforcements," Ish raps on Shine a Light, "Feelin' like I'm riding with The Four Horsemen." On When Cats Claw, he hits out at the arrogance of some nondescript peer; "Everything you claim, no proof/ Tryna do his thang, no use/ You gon' check my chains."
The concept is further developed in record two, Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines. Here, Shabazz describe their universe's perverse relationship with tech-devices, soundtracked by freakishly sexual, hellishly funky synth lines. Tracks such as Gorgeous Sleeper Cell, Julian's Dream (ode to a bad) and Love in the time of Kanye shift restlessly between oddly psychedelic bass manipulation to polytonal digitised vocal bending. The overall result is overtly seductive. At times, the minimalism veers towards the familiar realms of cloud rap, but thankfully Butler's storytelling is so engrossing and substantial that any notes of instrumental gimmickry disappear.
Together, this series of records is by far the most demanding body of work released by Shabazz Palaces so far, which is astounding considering it was apparently recorded in a mere two weeks. If consumed separately, the first episode of the saga – with all its string arrangements and funk-laden time signatures – may be the more accessible and plush. However, the reward here is fully immersing yourselves into Quazarz' world in its entirety. With this double bill, Shabazz Palaces have succeeded in painting one of the most colourful and explorative parallel dimensions in recent hip-hop history.

"The Air We Breathe" is a Christian fiction book. Each chapter is written in the point of view of the following characters in the following dates. "Molly 2009", "Claire 2002", "Hanna 2002" and "Claire 2009". The book opens with Molly in 2009. She works and lives in a wax museum. Something happened to her that make her to not want to leave the building, it's a paralyzing fear. She talks to the wax figures and to God. She doesn't know how to break out and how to trust anyone around her. Her mother just wants to keep her safe and continues to allow Molly to keep inside herself. We next meet Claire in 2002. Claire lost both her children in an accident she blames herself for their death, she also has gone through a divorce. We next meet Hanna in 2002. She is a daddy's girl and every Saturday they go out to do special errands. Something really bad happens and her life is completely turned around. She shuts down and refuses to talk, that is until she meets Claire in 2002. Hanna's mom is jealous that her daughter will talk to a stranger but not her. Something else happens and Hanna and her mom are forced to go into hiding. Claire has no clue what has happened and is extremely worried. We then meet Claire in 2009, we see if she has been able to move on with her life from the loss of her children, her marriage and of Hanna. When we see her in 2009 he path crosses with someone from her past that could change both their lives forever.
This was a really fast paced, heart pounding book. There is some gore in it and the storyline breaks your heart. But the character's search for God and looking to Him for help really pulls the whole book together. Little Hanna first hears about "Gee" from a brief glimpse of a TV show, an evangelistic program. She just hears that she can ask "Gee" for help and she prays and finds help. Later she learns that "gee" is Jesus and begins to learn more about Him and even finds a Bible to start reading. Claire is a Christian but is struggling with her faith after the death of her children, with the help of a few people she is finding her way back. Molly found a Bible in a hotel and kept it and has been reading it all the time.
The book had me drawn in and also had me looking towards God's Word and love more. I would recommend this book to older Christians or for an older reading audience. I was hit hard by some of the tragedy and I'm not sure how teens would take it. I look forward to reading more from this author.

FIRST BLACK WINNER ACCEPTED HER OSCAR IN A SEGREGATED HOTEL! Over 75 years ago, Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar for 'Gone with the Wind,' [GWTW], accepting her award at the Ambassador's Coconut Grove nightclub.
She was one of the biggest African-American movie stars — but she did not sit with the rest of the cast. Instead, she sat at a small table set against a far wall. With the hotel's strict no-blacks policy, producer David O. Selznick had to call in a special favor just to have McDaniel allowed into the building.
Hollywood's highest honor couldn't stave off the indignities that greeted McDaniel at every turn. Hollywood pigeonholed her as a "sassy Mammy" stereotype, with 74 roles in film, all as a domestic.
One of 13 children, McDaniel was born in June 1893, into extreme poverty in Wichita, Kansas. Following the family's move to Denver, her brothers, Otis and Sam, dubbed themselves the "Cakewalk Kids" after a dance fad that doubled as a sly caricature of white cotillions.
She was determined to avoid her mother's and sisters' fates as maids: she joined the show, doing impressions in "whiteface" for African-American audiences.
In 1929, McDaniel landed a gig in a road tour of the hit musical Show Boat. But the stock market crash led to layoffs by producer Florence Ziegfeld Jr. She was stranded and penniless in Milwaukee. Undaunted, she took a job as a bathroom attendant at Sam Picks Suburban Inn, then stepped in when the venue had no headliner. Her show stopping singing and dancing earned her $90 in tips and a job on the spot.
In 1931, McDaniel moved to Los Angeles. Acting opportunities were limited to subservient servant roles.
.By 1935, McDaniel was being touted as "one of the most prominent performers of her race" to promote the Clark Gable comedy China Seas. She and Gable forged a close friendship during filming. When Gable learned his co-star wasn't welcome at GWTW's 1939 Atlanta premiere — Georgia law prohibited blacks in white theaters — he refused to go. He only relented after McDaniel's urging.
Incidentally, among the teen choir members costumed as slaves at the event was a young Martin Luther King Jr.
The NAACP made no secret of its disdain for the GWTW author and her frequent use in print of the N-word, simply for the Ku Klux Klan, and depiction of slaves as enjoying their fate.
Acting in the movie, McDaniel refused to utter the N-word.
Even after World War II, she continued to play underwritten maid parts in such films as 1946's Song of the South, Walt Disney's adaptation of the Uncle Remus stories.
In her final years, McDaniel found success on the radio, taking over in 1947 the title character in Beulah, a hit comedy series about a live-in maid. It was the first time an African-American woman starred in a radio show, earning McDaniel $1,000 a week. She was cast in the TV version of Beulah in 1951 but shot only six episodes before falling ill.
She died in 1952 of breast cancer. She was 57.
HOW TO REALLY GET INTO COLLEGE? College counseling has become a widespread industry, with a number of independent experts" even resorting to illegal actions to place youngsters into highly-competitive universities.
Professor Shamus Khan writes in the Washington Post Outlook regarding a more acceptable way to get into the schools – philanthropy. Dr. Khan claims that Jared Kushner was admitted to Harvard, even though he had less than stellar grades after his dad donated $2.5 million to school.
MATERNITY LEAVE. Social worker Dayna Kurtz claims that the United States "holds the dubious distinction of being the only developed country in the world that does not offer paid maternity leave is a federal mandate."

For seniors: Remember when soda pop machines dispensed glass bottles… newsreels preceded the movie….you collected 45 RPM records…having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot… your three childhood punishments were having to go to bed early, not being able to leave the house, and not going to a party. These three childhood punishments have become my adult goals.

I am trying to port my work to the new WebGL build target with unity 5.1.1f1.
The bug is solved in unity 5.1.1p1, so the solution below is for 5.1.1f1.
My client is downloading big files (textures) from the server and the WWW class error randomly showed 'Unknown Error'.
In the resulting JS file I had to modify the following code to output the reason for failure along with the 'Unkonw Error' message, and the result was timeout exceeded.
I did some research and I found the resulting code sets the timeout for the XMLHttpRequest object to a constant 5000 milliseconds in the resulting JS file.
Since it's hard to replace this every time I build the project, I wrote a post process that does this job.
I will keep the blog updated as I get rid of webgl trouble!


We've just described how to get a more effective checkout success page, and now it's time to say a few words about improved newsletter popup. You can easily improve the default popup window with the help of the Newsletter Popup Magento 2 extension by Plumrocket. Offer discount codes, integrate Facebook and MailChimp, add popup triggers and animations, display rules, and implement other improvements with the help of the module. Below, we describe its core features and provide a full backend tutorial.
Let's start with enhanced design opportunities provided by Plumrocket. When you purchase the Newsletter Popup Magento 2 module, you not only get a bunch of features but also 20+ amazing templates for your newsletter popup. Thus, it is no longer a problem to select the appearance that fully matches your current store design. Besides, all these templates can be customized right from the backend. As a Magento 2 administrator, you can enable/disable certain fields and preview changes. Furthermore, Plumrocket allows you to create your own templates!
It is also necessary to mention that the Plumrocket Newsletter Popup Magento 2 module makes the subscription procedure as easy as possible: store visitors can subscribe using their Facebook or Twitter accounts. The email address is retrieved from the social network account automatically. Your customers no longer have to enter a full email address. Instead, they can subscribe in just one click!
To choose the most effective newsletter popup, you can run A/B tests. Furthermore, the Plumrocket Newsletter Popup Magento 2 extension allows tracking impressions, conversions, and total revenue. All these and other stats are available in the backend. Besides, there are lots of backend settings that allow you to customize the display of the popup fully. For instance, there is a selection of parameters to choose from that trigger the popup window. Furthermore, you can display the popup depending on a customer group, device type, brand, category, and even product.
As for the mentioned Mailchimp integration, Plumrocket allows you to save newsletter subscribers right to the MailChimp account. At the same time, you can still collect them in the Magento 2 database. Another Mailchimp-related feature is related to extended user data that can be sent right to the platform. Even coupon codes can be provided to the service for further usage in transactional emails and newsletters.
Another important feature we'd like to draw your attention to is a complete history of user interactions with the popup window. Of course, the appropriate grid displays the number of successful subscriptions. Besides, you can view a corresponding orders number and revenue subtotal. Also, due to various display options (including all possible store locations), the extension provides enough data to find the most effective subscription parameters: landing pages, subscription time, display settings, and more.
Blacklists are also among strong features of the Plumrocket Newsletter Popup Magento 2 module. First of all, there is a built-in list of disposable email address services, so subscribers with the related email domains are always rejected. Besides, you can create your own blacklists in the backend section of the extension.
Also, note that Newsletter Popup for Magento 2 supports all third-party Magento 2 themes. Thus, you can integrate the module with any custom solution without headaches. Let's see how the extension works and feels from the backend.
With the Plumrocket Newsletter Popup Magento 2 extension, you can create as many popups as you need. Appropriate settings are located under Plumrocket -> Newsletter Popup -> Manage Popups. There is a grid here that shows popup thumbnail, ID, name, views, subscriptions, conversion rate, orders count, total revenue, start and end dates, store views, and status. Besides, there is a Preview button here.
Let's create a new popup to discover all opportunities provided by Plumrocket. Get ready for a long journey, since this procedure is divided into 4 tabs with lots of settings in each of them. In the General tab, specify the name of your new popup, select its status, decide whether to use coupon codes or not, set the start and end dates, select a subscription success page (we recommend you to use "Stay on current page" option), and decide whether to send an autoresponder email. If you choose to send it, select an email template.
Next, customize coupon codes. Specify length, format, prefix, suffix, the number of dashes, and their placement for a code, as well as its expiration period.
In Signup Form, you can activate email newsletter signup only or add a registration form. Besides, there is a huge list of parameters that can be added to the form.
In Mailchimp List Management, you can enable MailChimp lists and select user subscription mode for them. It is possible to subscribe customers automatically or let them choose one or several lists to subscribe to.
That was only the first tab, so let's proceed to the second one – Display Settings. Here, you can select a popup theme, specify popup display mode (after time delay, when leaving site, on page scroll, on mouseover, on click, or manually) and its parameters, add cookie timeout, select animation effect, and store views where to display the popup.
Besides, it is possible to create a list of popup restrictions. For example, the extension allows you to disable mobile popup on desktop and tablet devices.
In Texts and Labels, you can specify a popup title and description, as well as success message and text for Submit and Cancel buttons.
In Theme Template, the Plumrocket Newsletter Popup Magento 2 Extension allows users to customize HTML template and CSS styles.
Now, let's take a look at available themes. You can find them under Plumrocket -> Newsletter Popup -> Manage Themes in a grid. The grid shows a theme thumbnail, ID, name, time when it was updated and created, and type (default theme or my theme). Besides, you can preview or edit themes.
While adding a new theme, you specify its name, insert image, and add custom HTML template and CSS styles.
The newsletter popup history is available under Plumrocket -> Newsletter Popup -> History. The appropriate grid shows the following data: popup ID and name; customer name, email, group, and IP; landing page; action (canceled or subscribed); coupon code; order number and G.T.; date and time; store view.
All newsletter subscribers are gathered in a grid under Marketing -> Communications -> Newsletter Subscribers.
The final part of our Magento 2 backend tutorial is related to the extension's configuration. Main settings include Newsletter Popup and Twitter & Facebook Login tabs. The first tab is divided into 4 sections: General, Mailchimp Synchronization, Device Screen Sizes, and Disposable Emails. In the first one, enable the extension and enter a serial key. Next, you can enable/disable Google Analytics tracking and subscription history, create a list of IP-addresses for which to disable the history, specify the way cookie timeout will be used (globally for all popups or separately for each one), and configure thumbnail generation.
In Mailchimp Synchronization, it is possible to enable/disable the feature, enter your API key, select MailChimp lists, allow double opt-ip, and view account details.
Here you also configure MailChimp fields mapping.
Next, specify screen sizes for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
In Disposable Emails, you can reject subscriptions from the list of disposable addresses.
Could you imagine that a tiny newsletter popup has such a wide variety of settings? We couldn't, but now we know a tool for the most customizable popups – Plumrocket Newsletter Popup Extension for Magento 2. The price of the module is just $149, so don't give it the go-by. The appropriate M1 extension is even cheaper – $99.


In this unique video interview with internationally renown baby whisperer, Ray Castellino, viewers discover the "Blueprint" or the unifying field we all carry with us as a "reference point" for returning home to ourselves, especially after trauma, or just the daily experience of living in an industrial culture. Castellino begins by moving into the broader understanding of the Blueprint, with its natural resonances and rhythms, and how this awareness supports parents wishing to connect with their babies, especially babies who are finding challenges in birth recovery or breastfeeding. The insights Castellino presents are profound, but practical.
This video is produced to assist the viewer "feeling" into the experience of the Blueprint, with a slow and calm pacing, including the introduction's slow moving dandelion seeds blowing in the wind with chimes tinkling in the background. We don't recommend operating heavy machinery or driving while listening to or watching this video, ha. No really, it is our wish that you follow Castellino suggestions and feel into the downshifting and self-regulation that is possible when following his voice, pauses and pacing. But as Castellino says, the Blueprint IS experiential and while we can discuss the map, your experience is the territory.
The "Blueprint" has been recognized and named by other human consciousness pioneers throughout history. Joseph Chilton Pearce called it Nature's Agenda. Darcia Narvaez, PhD, calls it the Nest, meaning the cultivated field surrounding and supporting the family bringing a new life into the world. Buddha called it the Beginner's Mind, a place we return to for grounding to facilitate openness. All of these phrases point to the grounded expansion possible in our own neurobiology when we return our attention to our bodies, whose life force is connected to all of Nature's cycles, rhythms and nourishment. There are other phrases as well, and it is best to think of the territory being explored here as the old tale of the blind men feeling parts of the elephant and then sharing their insights and experiences of their part. This sharing and exploring together is exciting and fun, or can be when protectionism and industrial ideals of competition and branding are discarded.
Kindred is exploring the blueprint with the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health as a part of our nonprofit collaboration to bring forward the empowering insights of birth psychology in our New Story of Childhood, Parenthood and the Human Family. You will find references to the Blueprint appearing throughout the realms of psychology today as the territory of transgenerational trauma, the ACE Study (Adverse Childhood Events), and the documentary In Utero, explore the Imprints on our Blueprint. We think it is important to hold up the Blueprint beneath the Imprint for a more holistic and complete understanding of what is possible for human wholeness and wellness.
If you wish to delve into birth psychology with a group, consider using the new In Utero Film Discussion and Resource Guide found here: http://bit.ly/2gYI72Q. The film study guide features a section on the Blueprint, as well as thoughtful discussion ideas. The award-winning documentary In Utero covers the Imprints we can experience to our Blueprint prenatally, and transgenerational transmission of trauma. An In Utero 2 is planned to cover the Blueprint and the current modalities for healing and returning us to our capacity for wholeness.
Our thanks as well to The Haven for the space to film. The Haven is a multi-resource day shelter for the homeless in downtown Charlottesville, VA. Please visit their website at www.TheHaven.org.
We develop secure attachment with an unstressed, present caregiver, ideally or mother and her partner.
We are cherished from before our birth throughout our whole life.
We trust our body to return to health should we become ill or stressed beyond our functional range.
The baby is placed on the mother right after birth, and the cord stops pulsing before being cut.
The community comes around the new family with services and food to nourish and support.
Totally agree with the article. Lotus birth honours the integrity of the organism and imprints the wonderous stillness and connection that we crave. I've never seen a 6month old who is ready to be left by its mother. In nature the young leave the parents when they are ready whereas humans are leaving their babies earlier and for ever increasing lengths of time.


As an alternative for the 'protected-perforation' design we have cheesemoulds with perforation through the whole thickness of the sidewall. In that case the perforation channels are 8 mm long. The advantage of this is costs: the material that is being used is 8 mm thick. A protected-perforation execution has a total thickness of 15 mm.

Very often, the thread runs through my painting practice, both morphologically and conceptually. A thread, sometimes thin and invisible, sometimes intense, being knit and wrapped like a net between shapes and maps, embracing and playing with them, interacting or most often conflicting with them. Like silent women, counting their loneliness and their losses by embroidering with silk thread, while sitting behind a window at dusk. The tacit thought, the conversation with themselves, with their long-lasting memories, not just their own, but also the collective memory of their generation or race, going back to the centuries. Memory that often hurts.
The thread, like the one that the Fates spun, or like the one that Ariadne gave to Theseus to find the way out to salvation, in the ancient Greek myths.
The thread, as an umbilical cord, connects memory with history. Personally, the thread connects me with my mother and her mother, who sewed constantly in our house. The thread, for me, being a child and grandson of seamstresses, binds me with my childhood.

Gout is much more frequent in patients with chronic renal failure than in the general population. The explanation lies in the body's control of serum uric acid levels. Uric acid normally is excreted in the urine, but when kidney function decreases, uric acid excretion decreases and, as a result, blood levels tend to rise. An elevation above 6 mg per dl tends to cause precipitation of uric acid in joints (causing gout) and also in the kidneys, sometimes leading to a uric acid kidney stone.
In addition, diuretics such as thiazides and furosemide, which people with kidney disease often use, increase uric acid levels and make gout more likely.
Gout also may be the cause of kidney disease. High uric acid levels (over 13 mg per dl in men and over 10 mg per dl in women) can lead to chronic renal damage.

Tom Tonon and his "BIG LIE"
Tom, in my previous comment I friendly suggested you to learn the facts before you engage in an argument. I must admit that after reading your present comment I changed my mind; you don't need to bother yourself with plain prosaic actual facts and realities; you already have something much more important: YOU HAVE YOUR AGENDA! You are tirelessly and perseveringly applying the "BIG LIE" tactic of Joseph Goebbels that "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
Well, as usual, you are again wrong….

BILLY PILGRIM LIVES – FROM TIME TO TIME TO TIME… Past, present and future collide in darkly satirical fashion in Slaughterhouse-Five! Based on Kurt Vonnegut's classic 1969 novel, this tale of time travel and alien abduction emerged as part of a wave of more cerebral science-fiction films in the late 60s to early 70s, elevating the genre beyond the B-movie fare of previous decades. Upstate New York, 1968. Mild-mannered Billy Pilgrim (Michael Sacks, The Sugarland Express) finds himself "unstuck in time". Traveling back and forth across the entire span of his existence, he experiences key events of his life in a random order, including his formative years, the firebombing of Dresden and finally, at some undefined point in the future, his surreal adventures on a distant planet. Praised by Vonnegut himself for it's fidelity to his novel, Slaughterhouse-Five boasts assured direction by George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and a memorable score by renowned concert pianist Glenn Gould. Now exclusively restored in 4K, Slaughterhouse-Five shines like never before, reinforcing it's timeless appeal.

NICOLE WILLIS: My Soul Sensation (Persephone)
Wednesday, 13 March 2019 16:47 Bill Buckley
Though this new release from Nicole Willis is being branded as an album, with just six tracks, it's really more of an old fashioned EP and two of the cuts ('I Call Your Name' and 'Reparate') have already been out as singles, so that means for your moneys you get just four new songs.
So here's rundown of those four new 'uns. 'Save It' opens the album. It's a mid-tempo groove with just a hint of reggae about it. The title cut offers some reggae style horns (courtesy of Jimi Tenor) though as the track unfolds, the flavour becomes more Afro-beat. The third new song is 'My Reflection' - a kind of homage to the disco era while the last newbie is 'Free' – a more blatant disco romp.
The LP/EP is completed by the two previous singles – 'Reparate' and 'I Call Your Name'. The former, you may recall, is a bass heavy dance groove while the latter is an infectious electro-funk mover and it gets my vote as the set's standout.
Brooklyn-born soulstress Nicole sings with conviction throughout, betraying her 30 years in the business while her new, credit-sharing band - Banda Palomita (Ndioba Gueye (electric bass), Julius Heikkilä (guitars), Antti Kujanpää (keyboards, synths, and sequencer), Ilari Larjosto (drums, engineer, and producer) and Luiz Orlando Sá Do Carmo (percussion) – work their socks off but things just don't quite ignite. Maybe the mini album needs just one more BIG tune...as it is, file 'Soul Sensation' under "workmanlike".

Bryan Memorial Gallery's first presentation of the New England Plein Air Painters, in fall '08, rocked the boat! Gallery attendance surged; at the beginning of a recession, sales were impressive, and most of all, a camaraderie developed among many of our locals and the visiting artists. It was the kind of experience one looks forward to repeating.
Then suddenly, a generous offer from a member of our community made it possible for Bryan Memorial Gallery to offer housing to the members of the NEPAP, heading to Jeffersonville to paint. In the great tradition of Charles Curtis Allen and Emile Gruppe, the gallery found itself in the enviable position to invite the New England Plein Air Painters to Vermont to paint and prepare for the exhibition that opens this year's season: May 2, 2010.
New England Plein Air Painters Paint Vermont will feature new work by these artists, who have painted in Jeffersonville, VT within the last year.

The study of insects and their relationship to a criminal investigation. Can help determine time of death.
After death, specific insects become inhabitants of the corpse in a specific sequence. Blowflies are usually the first to arrive. Knowing the life cycles and studying the maggots can help determine time of death. Ambient temperatures can play a role in insect life cycles, so it can be tricky to rely solely on this method.

Big foreclosure payouts, but only for the right wrongs
It's possible to receive compensation for wrongful foreclosure, however the amounts vary widely
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2012/07/04/big_foreclosure_payouts_but_only_for_the_right_wrongs/
Paul Kiel
This originally appeared on ProPublica.
Can you put a price on the damage caused by a wrongful foreclosure? Banking regulators have. And it's $125,000. Or $60,000. Or $15,000. Or… it's unclear.
Last November, banking regulators launched a process to force the big banks to compensate homeowners victimized by their foreclosure abuses. Many crucial details remained unclear, including how much victims might receive.
More than seven months later, regulators finally released a "framework" that shows some of the possible outcomes. It's a list of thirteen mortgage servicing "errors," each with its own associated form of compensation. In addition to fixing the bank's errors, remedies include cash payments ranging from $500 all the way up to $125,000.
It turns out that, for homeowners seeking compensation for those errors and abuses, it's crucially important just how the servicer messed up. The logic for the differences in payment isn't always apparent and in some instances seems to defy common sense.
Two homeowners who each had their bid for a modification mishandled, for instance, could emerge with either $125,000 or $15,000 depending on just where in the process the error occurred. Regulators also left unsettled how homeowners will be compensated for so-called robo-signing, the scandal that provoked the foreclosure review to begin with.
With consumer response to the review so far underwhelming, regulators also extended the deadline for homeowners to submit a claim to September 30. It was originally April 30.
Attorneys with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the primary regulator for the largest banks, told us the compensation is appropriately tailored for differing circumstances.
Readers wanting to know whether they might qualify for the foreclosure review should see our detailed list of Frequently Asked Questions. The FAQ also covers the separate National Mortgage Settlement arrived at earlier this year.
The worst errors, the ones reaping the $125,000 payouts, fit into three categories. The first covers active duty members of the military who were foreclosed on while protected by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The OCC attorneys said they arrived at $125,000 for these worst errors in part because it's close to what the Justice Department used in recent legal settlements with banks for violating that law. (In all cases, the cash compensation drops to $15,000 if the servicer returns the home to the borrower.) The $125,000 payment is the same regardless the size of the borrower's mortgage, but since homeowners aren't being required to waive any legal claims to accept the money, they could go to court to recoup more.
The other two categories for max compensation encompass a far broader range of homeowners: those who ended up in foreclosure as a direct result of bank error (by mishandling payments, for example) and those who were in trial modifications when the bank foreclosed.
Over the years, we've reported extensively on the number of ways that mortgage servicers botched the applications of homeowners trying to avoid foreclosure through a loan modification. Servicers regularly lost homeowners' income documentation,miscalculated incomes, and generally made homeowners run a gauntlet of errors, confusion and frustration to emerge with a modification. Trial modifications, which were supposed to last only three months and easily transition to a permanent modification, often lasted many months longer only to end badly. Many homeowners were foreclosed on prematurely.
A number of the 13 categories regulators have laid out focus on these modification errors. For instance, if the bank simply never evaluated a homeowner for a modification before foreclosing and the homeowner would have qualified, then the review will result in compensation of $15,000. If the bank denied a modification in error, that's also $15,000.
But trial modification errors result in much larger compensation, resulting in a discrepancy that seems to make little sense. If the homeowner was accepted for a trial modification, made the payments as agreed, and then the servicer foreclosed without giving a final answer, that would be $125,000. But if the servicer did give an answer to that homeowner, even if it was entirely baseless wrong denial, and then foreclosed, it would be only $15,000.
The attorneys for the OCC said there were a number of reasons that homeowners foreclosed on while in trial modifications deserve much higher compensation than those who suffered other modification abuses. The first and main reason is that there's a clear legal distinction between the servicer plainly violating a written agreement with the homeowner and other situations. That was one of the main guiding ideas in how they allocated the compensation, they said. The highest amounts are reserved for scenarios where the servicer either violated the mortgage by improperly handling the account or didn't abide by the trial modification agreement.
If a homeowner fell behind on her payments, applied for a modification, but was foreclosed on before the bank even gave an answer, that's an entirely different scenario, they said. The servicer's failure to process the loan modification application "is not the reason why the borrower was foreclosed upon," said one attorney. "They were foreclosed upon because they were delinquent on their mortgage terms."
Furthermore, they said, that homeowner wouldn't have much of a shot in court if she sued, even if it's clear that the bank broke the rules of the government's loan modification program (as they regularly did). That's because the largely toothlessprogram didn't provide homeowners with any legal recourse for rule-breaking servicers. If, however, the homeowner could point to a clear violation of a written agreement, they might be able to win damages in court.
Such reasoning "turns the idea of remediation on its head," said Diane Thompson of the National Consumer Law Center. "Borrowers who lose their homes wrongfully for any reason suffer the same amount of financial injury and harm, whether or not they could or would bring a separate lawsuit to challenge that wrongful foreclosure."
It also sends the wrong message to mortgage servicers, Thompson said, to have such a mild penalty for failing to consider a homeowner for a modification at all when there's such a significant payment associated with trial modification errors. "This essentially rewards servicers for having failed to process loan mods."
The OCC said it arrived at its framework after seeking a variety of viewpoints, including those of consumer advocates.
One major aspect of the framework that remains unclear is what might be offered as compensation for robo-signing. The foreclosure review was prompted by revelationsthat the major banks had filed thousands of false affidavits in courts across the country when seeking to foreclose on homeowners. Banks have also often filed forged or flawed documents when attempting to demonstrate the right to foreclose. But the framework only says that compensation in cases where the servicer didn't properly document the right to foreclose will be "determined on a case-by-case basis as state law dictates." The OCC attorneys could give no further information about this.
We have updated our FAQ on the Independent Foreclosure Review to include a brief discussion of the framework, but homeowners wanting more information should see the framework itself and the lengthy FAQ that regulators produced about it.
To help us continue reporting on this issue, homeowners going through the process can also fill out our foreclosure questionnaire or contact us to let us know what's happening.

Tesla Model S P100D vs Porsche Taycan Turbo 2021 Comparison
The electric giants!
And yet another stellar review from Car Sales. They really know how to put these 2 literal powerhouses to the test, in every way imaginable.
And the result? Well, it might just surprise you.
Read on and let Car Sales guide you through this comparison.
Permalink: https://autofinanceaustralia.com.au/vehicle-info/tesla-model-s-p100d-vs-porsche-taycan-turbo-2021-comparison/
Whether you like it or not, electric vehicles are changing the way we buy and drive cars. Here we have the latest cutting edge EV, the Porsche Taycan and what better vehicle to pit it against than the Tesla Model S, which changed the EV game back in 2012.
The Tesla Model S is arguably the most important electric car of our era. Its success forced many mainstream car makers to accelerate their own EV strategies.
So we're here to find out how far the electric sports sedan has come in almost a decade. And whether the Porsche blows the Tesla right out of the water.
Although its current equivalent is much cheaper, the privately owned 2019 Tesla Model S P100D we're testing here set its owner back $270,000, including all options and on-road costs.
While the entry level Taycan 4S can be had for $190,000, we're testing the turbo model, which cost around $270,000 as well. In terms of styling, the Tesla's design hasn't fundamentally changed in almost a decade.
But I've gotta say it still has plenty of visual appeal, especially this black on black motif.
The Porsche definitely has a more modern look and along with a few 911-inspired curves here and there, especially at the rear end, it also wears the all important gold, black and red Porsche badge.
Alright, let's start with the interior of the Tesla, whose cabin is dominated by these massive 17-inch portrait style touch screen. It is huge. It's one of the most detailed infotainment systems ever seen in a car, offering a dazzling array of features, including many related to the car itself and some others, just for fun.
Despite the depth of functionality available, it's still an intuitive system to use and offers the sort of connectivity that most major car makers still struggle to match. Temperature controls are always on screen, but you have to dial into a menu to adjust the fan speed. But in a post COVID era, the medical grade HEPA filter is a nice touch.
Incidental storage is pretty good, you've got the high mounted twin cup holders here, dual USB ports and a 12-volt socket there, and a large central bin here.
However, there are no door pockets, which is a little bit unusual. The steering wheel's minimal controls work well and the digital instrument panel is clear and concise. It's not perfect though there are some legacy items from the Mercedes-Benz spare parts bin, such as the stocked and the window controls, and they feel a little bit tacky.
Also, the glass roof is really cool, but it eats into head space, which is a bit annoying for taller drivers. The heated and cooled power adjustable seats are pretty comfy and the upholstery has a premium feel.
There's no mistaking that this is a large luxury car.
Okay, the Porsche has a very different vibe, and while the cabin layout is more conventional, it still has a very high tech look and feel. The main central infotainment screen isn't as large nor as detailed as the Tesla's, and it doesn't have the depth of connectivity either. But there is an elegance about it, and it's a lot easier to quickly toggle through the climate controls via this dedicated touch screen.
Incidental storage is pretty good with two large cup holders, twin USB C ports and big door pockets, but like the Tesla, there's no wireless phone charger.
The sporty steering wheel has more buttons, but you can access different systems more easily. And I gotta say when you get used to it, it's not an overly complex system, and the sleek 16.8-inch digital instrument display is incredible.
It's like being on the bridge of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek.
The seats are more luxurious and sportier and also have more power adjustment. Like the Tesla, they are heated and cooled as well.
Despite the smaller central touch screen, the Porsche has more digital real estate overall, and that driver's display is just stunning, and I've gotta say the fact that there's a passenger touch screen there too is very cool.
Overall, the Porsche's cabin is better presented and feels more polished.
In saying that, the Tesla's interior holds up remarkably well, especially given it's almost a decade behind the brand new Porsche.
Back seat comfort in the Tesla is really good, the seats are super comfy, there's lots of head and leg room, although the floor is either really high or the seats are really low, 'cause my knees are kind of a little bit raised. Overall amenity, very good, you've got fold up cup holders, two USB ports, reading light and this gorgeous panoramic glass roof. However, there is no fold down armrest.
Back seat room in the Porsche, not quite as good as the Tesla. Headroom, leg room, a little tighter, but the raised seat means my knees don't feel quite as awkward. Amenity levels are excellent, you've got the reading light here, fold down armrest with cup holders, twin USB C ports here, and my favourite, touch screen climate control, very nice.
Overall, the Tesla offers better leg room but the Porsche is more comfortable and has more amenity, handing it the win for rear seat accommodation.
Round back, both have decent boot space, complete with hidden compartments, but overall, the Tesla has more luggage space. It's just a bigger boot. Both EVs have frunks or fronnets, and the best front bonnet goes to the Tesla, it's just a little bit bigger. The remote opening charge port in the Tesla is easy to access, but the Porsche offers two charge ports, both at the front. The newer Porsche has 800-volt fast charging capability, which is superior to the Tesla, but you need the charging infrastructure to take advantage of it. Something Australia is sorely lacking.
The Tesla is easy to drive and whisper quiet at most road speeds and very much feels like a luxury car. Drop the hammer though and the massive torque instantly available from its twin electric motors, driving all four wheels means you're always able to launch the car into the mesosphere. And there's so much thrust available, it's kind of crazy. Oh man. [chuckle].
In terms of ride comfort, this Tesla doesn't ride like a limousine. Look, it's not harsh by any measure, the adaptive air suspension soaking up most lumps and bumps fairly well, but it's not as cushy as I was expecting.
It has good road holding, thanks to Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres and it turns in nicely. The reasonably sharp steering helping as well.
One thing that the Tesla does really well is semi-autonomous driving, the auto-pilot system is pretty impressive. I guess there's a lot of controversy surrounding it as well, but from what I've experienced, it's pretty damnned good.
By comparison, as you might expect, the Taycan' chassis is superior in every way. Like lots of Porsches throughout history, it somehow delivers all at once a plush ride, sharp handling and confidence inspiring levels of high speed cornering stability.
Indeed the Taycan feels like a genuine luxury car when cruising. But with its more advanced air suspension and adaptive damper stiffen up, it's got genuine race track credibility. The Porsche also outclasses the Tesla in terms of dynamics, steering into corners with more agility, precision and confidence. Simply put, it's a more engaging vehicle to drive, and at times you feel a little detached from the Tesla.
It's lighter on its feet and rotates into corners more like a traditional sports car. The steering offers more feedback and the Tesla feels a little dully by comparison. As you'd expect, throttle response in the Porsche is very crisp. And although power levels and thrust are pretty much line ball with the Tesla, it feels a little bit different.
The way it gets its power down. It's kind of more gritty, more aggressive. I do like it. But what most people will want to know is… which is quickest off the line.
The P100D claims a 2.5 second, 0 to 100 kilometre an hour sprint. While Porsche claims a 3.2 second sprint.
Alright, first up is the Tesla. [chuckle]
It's always there. Oh, it's just instant. Bang! So we managed 3.3 seconds in less than ideal conditions in ludicrous plus mode. That's miles off the claim, but we didn't have time available to reach optimum battery temperature.
Okay, next up, the Porsche Taycan.
My cheek muscles. [chuckle] It's a facial massage. Whoa. That feels more aggressive than the Tesla, very different in the way it leaps forward. It took the Porsche 3.4 seconds to hit 100 kilometres an hour, which is a cat's whisker slower than the claim time. And it doesn't require 30 minutes of battery warm-up to achieve optimum acceleration.
But as it stands, the Tesla still beats the Porsche by one tenth of a second, in these conditions.
Whichever way you look at it, both these cars will torch pretty much anything else you can buy today in a straight line.
Well, this side of a million dollar hyper car anyway. The Porsche is a more robust product for sure, and it's executed in a more conventional sense. But the Tesla offers better value for money and in many ways is a more versatile EV.
It's a roomier car too, and at the end of the day, the Porsche does not blow the Tesla out of the water.
But for all that, I'll still take the keys to the Porsche because it's a more polished and a more engaging product.

Introducing Our New Pediatric Scales!
Over the past several years we have introduced a number of new medical scales for a wide range of applications; from stand-on scales to extra-large in-floor dialysis and wall mount scales. The next area we wanted to update was our line of pediatric scales. So over the past several months we have been developing a new pediatric scale to address this need in our product line. Early feedback from a number of hospital systems has been positive.
If your medical facility would like an onsite evaluation of one of these new pediatric scales, please call our office to schedule an appointment at your location, 800-654-6360, or email us at info-request.com.

Last fall we introduced an antimicrobial additive to our scales. This is now a standard feature in all our stand-on, wheelchair, and wall mount scales (and at no additional cost). Over the past several months we've attended a number of medical events showcasing these new SR Scales with Microban® antimicrobial product protection. The response has been overwhelmingly supportive of this exciting development.
To learn more on how the antimicrobial technology works, you can download a free White Paper from our website http://bit.ly/SR-Scales-Antimicrobial-WP.
This month, we'll be attending APIC 2018 in Minneapolis, MN (June 13 – 15, 2018). The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology's (APIC) annual conference is the largest event of its kind for medical professionals specializing in infection prevention. More info on APIC can be accessed from the APIC website: http://ac2018.site.apic.org/.
We'll be in booth # 607. We cordially invite you to stop by and demo some of our antimicrobial scales. See you there!

Here at SR, we've been building in-floor scales for decades. Our two primary models offered flexible sizes for weighing applications in dialysis centers and hospitals needing to weigh patients in wheelchairs or with walkers. This week we are announcing the availability of our largest in-floor weighing system to date – the SR463iR-4. The new built-in scale measures 4' x 6', can weigh patients in bariatric wheelchairs or hospital stretchers, and all with .1% accuracy. This brings our number of in-floor scale systems to three highly accurate scales. The wall mounted rotating display can be ordered with a built-in printer for confirmation of a patient's weight. Standard for all our in-floor systems, our product warranty is four years. For more information on these made in the USA scales, you can access our press release at http://bit.ly/SR-Scales-SR463iR-4-PR or call us at 800-654-6360.

This week we are excited to share that we have officially launched our antimicrobial scales featuring Microban® technology. SR Scales infused with Microban technology feature added protection against the growth of bacteria and the technology will be included in all our medical stand-on, wheelchair, and wall mount scales at no additional cost.
As hospitals and medical centers with multiple locations seek to standardize on scales throughout their facilities, SR Scales provide a wide range antimicrobial products to select from for most every weighing application. SR Scales infused with Microban do not replace existing cleaning practices at medical facilities, but rather complement existing cleaning protocols. Surface areas that contain the antimicrobial protection include the platform, handrails, stanchions, display housing, keypad, and visible labeling.

Wall Mount Scales – Which One is Right for Your Facility?
This week we announced in a press release the introduction of our newest member of wall mount scales, the SR7020i extra-large wall mount hospital stretcher scale. This brings our current lineup of space-saving wall mount scales to three models to choose from. So, which one is right for your facility? That depends upon your applications and where the scale is to be used.
They all occupy less than four inches (4") of wall space when not in use as the weighing platforms easily fold up against the wall. This helps keep hallways clear for people, staff, and equipment being transported.
They all have gas-assist springs for lowering and raising the platforms, making it safe and easy for caregivers to weigh patients.
Each of these scales comes with the longest warranty in the industry: FOUR YEARS.
They all have a 1,000 lb capacity, and have the option for a printer output or serial data output for EHR systems.
The SR7000i wall mount wheelchair scale is primarily used in environments like dialysis centers or long-term care facilities to monitor weight of patients restricted to wheelchairs. Wheelchair access can be for standard-sized devices or bariatric wheelchairs with a wheelbase of up to 40". Top weighing surface is 24" x 40.75". A video of the scale can be assessed here http://bit.ly/SR-Scales-SR7000i.
The SR7010i is an ambulance gurney wall mount scale that is primarily designed for busy ER centers where incoming patients can be weighed on ambulance gurneys as needed. Of course, standard wheelchair weighing along with ambulatory patients can also be accommodated on this platform. Top weighing surface is 38" x 48". For more information, you can see the product video here http://bit.ly/SR-Scales-SR7010i.

Product of the Month – the SR755i, multi-purpose scale: a true workhorse for your hospital!
Over the years we've seen many of our scales develop positive reputations in the medical community. One such scale that has been steadily relied upon by a variety of departments is the SR755i Multi-purpose Wheelchair scale.
This workhorse of a product has won the admiration of both nursing staff and biomedical personnel with its numerous features and rugged durability. In fact, we recently took one in for repair. We knew it was old from the model number which was a predecessor to the SR755i; same base but older display. However we didn't know how old it was until we researched it and found it to be 20 years old! The scale was in remarkably good condition and repairs were only minor. We needed to recalibrate the load cells in the platform and replace the feet on the base of the unit. Once completed, the scale was ready to go and was shipped back to its owner with a new calibration certificate.
• Large 28" x 28" base, making it ideal as a bariatric stand-on scale (1000 lb capacity).
• Fold down ramps enable it to become an accurate wheelchair scale.
• Easy and safe for staff to transport from room to room with its "Tip and Go!" wheels and light-weight cast aluminum frame.
• Support handles are part of the weight surface, enabling patients to comfortably hold on for stability without affecting the weighing process.
• Made in the USA with a FOUR YEAR warranty – providing an improved ROI for purchasing departments.
If your facility would like to evaluate an SR755i, give us a call at 716-693-5977 to arrange an onsite demonstration meeting with one of our nationwide representatives.

Product of the Month – the SR241: Portable & Perfect for House Calls!
Remember the old slogan, "Two for the price of one?" That's how we arrived at the model number for one of our more intriguing scales, the SR241 (two-for-one). This portable, road-worthy scale was designed for medical professionals who need to have a lightweight scale that can double as a pediatric scale as well as a patient stand-on scale.
All of these requirements were met with the dual purpose weighing system we call the SR241. This unique scale features a removable baby tray. So after weighing adults, the slide-on tray can be quickly added to take an infant's weight. As a special add-on feature we call "Baby-Mode", a parent can stand on the scale and the parent's weight is then zeroed out. Next, the parent can be given their infant to hold which permits the scale to easily obtain the baby's weight.
If your facility would like to evaluate an SR241, give us a call at 716-693-5977 to arrange an onsite demonstration meeting with one of our nationwide representatives.

Here at SR we're always interested in building improvements to our products. Our customers, whether they're in the medical profession, or members of veterinary and zoological organizations, are a great source for new ideas and suggestions for products and innovative updates.
Recently we decided to take look at the coating compound on a few of our portable and in-floor veterinarian scales. We wanted to find a newer material that would be long lasting, easy to clean, and offer an improved non-slip surface for animals.
We've come up with a new compound and will be showcasing a number of scales with the new coating at next week's NAVC (North American Veterinary Community) 2017 Conference in Orlando, FL.
We welcome feedback on the new coating from veterinary professionals who are attending the event. So stop by booth # 500, check out the new coating, and let us know what you think. You may also want to see our new small to mid-sized animal scale, the SRV411i, a.k.a. the Dog Bone Scale. Hope to see you there!

Ah yes – another escape from the arctic cold we are used to in Western NY! Truth be told, it has been a milder winter here in the greater Buffalo, NY area up to now, but still – it was nice to get away down south for a road show in January. Last week we kicked off our winter 2017 trade show season with a visit to Austin, TX for the 2017 Texas Hospital Association's Annual Conference and Expo. And even though the temperature was in the 50s for most of the week in Austin, it still felt better than the 30s we had in upstate NY.
This was our first time exhibiting at the premier THA (Texas Hospital Association) event. From THA's website, the Association represents more than 85 percent of the state's acute-care hospitals and health care systems. This event presented a great opportunity for us to introduce our SR Medical Scales to the executive leaders at many of the member hospitals.
We took our "Trade Show in A Box" display which allows us to demonstrate several of our more popular medical scales to the attendees. For this event, we demonstrated a cross-section of our medical scales, starting with our ultra-wide Patient Floor Scale, the SR411i. Next we had available our newly launched SR585i Stand-on Scale. This scale, which features a wide base, 1,000 lb capacity, and easy-to-grip wrap around handles, is gaining in popularity at hospitals around the country for gathering weight data where patients need to grasp a handrail for support. Centering our booth display is the very popular mid-sized wall mount stretcher scale, the SR7010i.
Beyond our medical scales, we will be attending a variety of events this winter that also include our other markets, that of veterinarian and waterparks. You can see our winter show schedule below as well as on our Events webpage. We hope to see you there!

Our product focus for January is our space-saving wall mount scale, the SR7010i. The story behind this product's development reflects our commitment to custom-building scales to meet the requirements of our customers, be they in the medical market or the other markets we serve (Veterinarian, Zoological, and Waterparks).
A hospital representative contacted us after learning about our medical scales. They were looking for a new approach to handle their patient weighing requirements in a way that would allow them to have a single device that would be able to weigh patients in various stages of ambulatory care. Specifically, they wanted to have a device that could be used in place of ordering several scales such as a patient/bed lift scale, a wheel chair scale, and a stand-on scale that could accommodate a patient using a walker. One other important design feature that was needed was to have the new scale able to be easily stored away when not in use.
So our team of design engineers built a large platform scale that was able to support a thousand pounds. Using gas-powered springs, the platform could be easily lowered then raised up for storage when staff had finished weighing patients. The scale's space-saving design took up less than five inches of wall space when not in use. The weighing surface of the new scale is large enough to accommodate a stretcher, handle motorized wheelchairs, and yet easy enough for a patient using a walker to stand on the platform.
Once completed, the new weighing system was installed and ready for active use. The project was so successful, that additional units were ordered and placed in strategic locations throughout the facility. Backing up the product's durability is our 4-year warranty, the longest product warranty in the medical scale industry.
You can learn more about this device including a short video at: http://bit.ly/SR7010-info.
