SpaceX's aspirations towards recovering launched Falcon 9 first stages are continuing to focus on ocean based landings, ahead of realizing the goal of returning the cores back to land. With continual refinements to the approach, SpaceX have welcomed new and improved Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ships (ASDS), one of which has been sighted taking a cruise down the Panama Canal.
In November 2014, Elon Musk confirmed reports of SpaceX's "Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS)" – providing an overhead photo of a 300-foot-long ocean-going barge with a deck widened with steel "wing" extensions to a span of 170 feet.
The barge sported a large white "X" logo in the center of two giant concentric circles, marking the spot at which Musk hoped the first stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket would soon touch down during an ocean landing somewhere off the east coast of Florida.
Mr. Musk's "drone ship" photo was the first visible evidence that SpaceX was serious about attempting to recover a launched first stage.
Earlier that year SpaceX had filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office requesting a review of rival company Blue Origin's patent for a method of landing a rocket stage at sea.
SpaceX claimed that the Blue Origin patent should not have been granted, since similar methods had been described by other inventors long before Blue Origin filed for their patent.
Evidently SpaceX had confidence it would prevail in the patent dispute, since the "drone ship" was unveiled to the public mere months after filing for the patent review, and long before a decision could be expected from the Patent Office – which later announced in March that SpaceX's dispute had enough merit to go forward in a review process which is now ongoing but may not be resolved until 2016.
Mr. Musk presented his company's first drone ship as using thrusters repurposed from deep-sea oil rigs, able to hold its position at sea to within three meters even in a storm, and perhaps able to allow future refueling and fly-back of the rocket stage to its launch site.
Soon after, photos appeared showing the drone ship en route to her new home port in Jacksonville, Florida.
Despite its fanciful name, the drone ship was built on a rather mundane barge. The Marmac 300 had been a maritime workhorse for over 15 years, doing drudgery for its owner McDonough Marine Service that included being submerged beneath the keels of sunken vessels and then refloated to effect their recovery.
Now, in addition to wing extensions, Marmac 300 carried four diesel-powered hydraulically-driven thrusters for position-keeping, diesel fuel tanks and several large steel shipping containers at either end of the deck housing communications gear, an autonomous guidance system and additional equipment.
The drone ship was towed to her new home in the port of Jacksonville, to the north of the Cape Canaveral, probably relating to a decision to minimize her travel distance to the landing zone on rocket recovery missions, since Falcon 9 flights typically travel north-east from Cape Canaveral out over the Atlantic.
The winged Marmac 300 got her first chance to catch a Falcon 9 stage in January of this year, during the CRS-5 resupply mission to the International Space Station.
Unfortunately, the incoming stage ran out of the hydraulic fluid needed for operation of the aerodynamic "grid fins" used for precision guidance, and the stage crashed into the drone ship and was destroyed.
However, rather than downplay the mishap, SpaceX released spectacular video footage of the event and vowed to try again with extra hydraulic fluid. Also, the ASDS proved herself up to the challenge, sustaining only minor damage.
Afterwards, Mr. Musk noted she was being repaired and that she would be given the fanciful new name "Just Read the Instructions," after a fictional spaceship commanded by an artificial intelligence in the Iain M. Banks novel "The Player of Games".
On this first recovery attempt, SpaceX demonstrated what would become more or less their standard operating procedure. The drone ship left port several days before the schedule launch attempt, towed by a dedicated tugboat named Elsbeth III. Shortly after, the support ship "GO Quest" left port to join the convoy.
Once at – or near – the landing zone, Elsbeth III's crew would presumably start up the drone ship thrusters and set her free to auto-position herself at pre-programmed GPS coordinates.
Elsbeth III and GO Quest – which appears to carry a large satellite dish on deck – would then stand off at a safe distance during the landing attempt.
The drone ship was fitted with deluge water jets that flooded the deck with ballast water from the barge's tanks, for cooling the deck from the blast of the landing rocket engines.
Some time before the incoming stage was expected, the water pumps would be started and the deck flooded. Some of the on-deck photos later provided by SpaceX showed water jets flooding the deck as the incoming stage came into view.
During the landing attempt, the drone ship was transmitting video back to SpaceX launch control facilities for real-time visual monitoring of the landing.
It appeared during SpaceX's webcast of this and later recovery attempts that SpaceX mission control personnel were seen to be watching a near-real-time video feed from the drone ship, based on their reactions as they watched their monitors, and based on Musk's tweets shortly after the fact with details that suggested he had seen the event.
No crew were on board the drone ship during the attempt, hence the "autonomous" label.
Hans Koenigsmann, SpaceX's Vice President for Mission Assurance, said in a press conference before the CRS-5 mission that it would take about one to two hours after a landing for the crew to safe the stage remotely before boarding the drone ship.
Remote-controlled safing activities would likely include venting pressurized helium from the fuel tank and venting residual LOX.
Once the crew had boarded the drone ship, the stage would be secured for transport.
Although Musk has said the stage would be stable because of the weight of its engines and their support structure at the aft end of the stage, he has mentioned that steel "shoes" might be welded to the deck over the feet of the stage's legs for added insurance. There have also been mentions of chains attached between the deck and the aft of the stage.
Once back in port, the stage would be offloaded by crane, further safed – fuel drained, etc – placed on a "breakover" fixture to rotate it horizontal, then loaded onto a truck and transported by road to either SpaceX's facilities in McGregor, Texas or SpaceX's Spaceport America base in New Mexico for additional inspections and testing.
Following CRS-5, the drone ship's next recovery mission came in February with the launch of the DSCOVR spacecraft for NASA.
Unfortunately, heavy weather at sea knocked out one of the four thrusters and SpaceX reported that 3-story waves were breaking over the deck.
The company called off the landing attempt on the drone ship, and "Just Read the Instructions" returned to port with visible damage to on-deck equipment apparently caused by wave impact.
Soon after, Mr. Musk reported that he planned significant upgrades to the drone ship so that it could handle "literally anything" in the future. As a result, the drone ship was subsequently fitted with a vertical steel bow wall and two more powerful bow thrusters.
Marmac 300 got her last shot at glory during the CRS-6 ISS resupply mission in April, but was once again thwarted by a wobbly landing of the Falcon 9 first stage, which touched down on deck but couldn't keep itself upright and toppled over – rupturing its propellant tanks in dramatic fashion.
However, SpaceX had made progress, as the stage did not run out of hydraulic fluid this time and appeared oh-so-close to sticking its landing.
SpaceX also introduced a new innovation in making a video of the event, using a camera-equipped flying drone to launch itself from the ASDS, hover at a distance, take video of the landing attempt, and return to the ASDS.
Despite the temporary conflagration caused by the stage impact, the flying drone was able to return and land on the ASDS, allowing SpaceX to later recover the data card from the camera and publish the dramatic video.
Shortly after the abortive CRS-6 attempt the drone ship was towed back to the shipyard where she had been outfitted in Morgan City, Louisiana. In June, a new drone ship built on McDonough's Marmac 304 barge appeared in Jacksonville as her replacement.
While SpaceX has not said why Marmac 300 was retired, she may have served as a prototype not intended for long-term service. Marmac 304 is a much newer barge that has not seen heavy prior use, and may be considered to have a longer life ahead of her.
The new drone ship built from Marmac 304 reported for duty at Jacksonville in early June, albeit in unfinished condition.
With dimensions virtually identical to Marmac 300, she carries some new features, including a steel blast wall erected between the rear containers and the landing deck, in addition to the steel bow wall as previously seen on Marmac 300.
Ongoing work visible on deck suggests that a second blast wall may be installed at the forward end of the landing deck as well.
These – and other preparations – are expected to render Marmac 304 operable in time for the upcoming CRS-7 mission to resupply the Space Station in late June.
Shortly after Marmac 304 headed east from Louisiana, her sister barge Marmac 303 left the same port and went south for the Panama Canal.
Carrying the wing extensions reportedly clipped from Marmac 300, Marmac 303 reached the Panama Canal on June 9 and began her transit June 14, exiting the Canal on the 15th.
Since the wing extensions – if attached – would make the barge too wide to transit the canal when attached, they were laid on her deck in sections as cargo and will be attached permanently when she reaches California in about three weeks.
Towing Marmac 303 is the tugboat Rhea, sister ship to the tug Elsbeth III which tends to Marmac 304. After being fitted with her wings and readied for service, she will go to work catching Falcon 9 first stages from SpaceX's launch pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Although no announcement has been made of her expected operational date, the upcoming Jason-3 mission from Vandenberg would be her first opportunity to attempt a stage recovery.
SpaceX has said they hoped to be permitted to attempt a return-to-launch-site landing of the first stage at Vandenberg, but to date it appears that permission may not yet have been granted, and the landing pad that would be used for such an attempt at SLC-4W was shown in a recent photo to consist only of graded earth with the concrete pad not yet poured.
According to Musk, the west coast drone ship will be dubbed "Of Course I Still Love You," after another fictional spaceship from the mind of science fiction writer Iain M. Banks.
The drone ship is apparently a mandatory stepping stone in SpaceX's ultimate goal of having Falcon 9 first stages return themselves after launch with a "boostback" maneuver to the launch site, for a soft landing on terra firma.
SpaceX is now building landing facilities at both Cape Canaveral (LC-13) and Vandenberg Air Force Base (SLC-4W). According to Mr. Musk, officials have asked for "repeated, successful" demonstrations of a first stage landing on the drone ship before a landing attempt will be allowed at the Cape.
SpaceX is also building a new company-owned launch facility near Brownsville, Texas, for commercial satellite launches over the Gulf of Mexico. The Texas launch facility would be SpaceX's third orbital launch facility and yet another potential base for drone ship operations.
Even after Falcon 9 first stages begin landing at launch sites, there may be continued opportunities for downrange landings on drone ships. Some higher-energy missions and heavier payloads would prevent the first stage from reserving enough propellant to boost itself back to the launch site, making downrange landing on a drone ship the only option for recovery.
Also, the drone ships may also be called on to recover stages from SpaceX's next launch vehicle, the Falcon Heavy, which will have a central core flanked by two side boosters.
Both side boosters and the first stage of the vehicle's core will be designed for autonomous landing, and Mr. Musk has said there may be missions in which the boosters fly back to the launch site but the first stage of the core lands downrange on a drone ship.
In his first "drone ship" tweet, Mr. Musk held out the tantalizing possibility that the drone ships would eventually allow recovered stages to be refueled, launched from the deck, and fly themselves home. Time will tell if SpaceX can make this dream a reality.
In the meantime, it seems increasingly likely that the company could pull off a successful landing of a Falcon 9 first stage on a drone ship soon, perhaps as early as this month.

Q: Rails CSRF Expiration Time I've got a issue where some users that go idle on my site for a period of time receive a CSRF error when submitting post requests. I don't want to disable the security feature in Rails because of its importance, so I was thinking to display a page timeout alert instead. However I cannot find anywhere what the Rails default timeout is for the authenticity_token. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
When I look at cookies for my site Chrome shows that the session cookie expires when the browsing session ends. If that's the case and the reason that I get the CSRF error is due to an expired session, how does it expire if the browser is never closed?

A: The default behavior is for the CSRF protection to use cookie-based sessions, and for the cookies to expire when the session expires. It sounds like the session is expiring, causing the CSRF error.

Why didn't my image fully transfer?
JetPro SofStretch is a commercial quality paper that requires very heavy and even pressure. It is usually a problem reported by users who are using hobby presses or older presses that may be inconsistent in temperature and/or heat. A high-quality commercial level heat press is strongly recommended for this paper as well as ensuring your press heats up evenly. Cold spots or bad pressure spots will result in parts of the paper to not transfer correctly.
Can I use a vinyl cutter with JetPro SofStretch?
You can use any standard vinyl cutter to cut along the edges of your design if you would like to eliminate the background film that transfers. We recommend testing a sheet with your vinyl cutter first. Please ensure the blade is sharp and clean as JetPro SofStretch is extremely thin paper.
What printer settings do I use to print on JetPro SofStretch?
We recommend using a Photo Quality or a High Quality setting for your inkjet printer to ensure that the printer slows down and prints a high-quality image. This is controlled normally through your printer manager on your computer. Some printers by default are set to High Speed instead of High Quality which can pull the paper through too fast and cause lines in the print. Leave the paper setting to Standard paper.

Биография

Ранние годы
Родился 27 октября 1933 в , Пенсильвания, США в семье русинов, выходцев из Западной Галиции (ныне в составе Польши). Он был воспитан в православии, набожный член православной церкви святого Иоанна Крестителя в Кэнонсбурге, штат Пенсильвания, где он служил алтарником, а затем чтецом.

Он учился в средней школе Канонсбурга, где был президентом студенческого совета, окончив её в 1953 году. Поступил на бакалавриат в  в Вашингтоне, штат Пенсильвания. Во время своего пребывания там он служил секретарем записи братства Альфа Тау Омега, которое занимается развитием лидерства. После окончания в 1957 году колледжа он поступил в Свято-Владимирскую духовную семинарию, находившуюся в то время в Нью-Йорке. В 1960 году ему была присвоена степень магистра богословия (Master of Divinity). Следующий год он провел, продолжая дополнительное обучение в Экуменическом институте Боссэ, Швейцария, путешествуя по Святой Земле и посещая православные христианские центры по всей Европе и на Ближнем Востоке.

По возвращении в США, 10 октября 1961 в часовне Святого Сергия в Ойстер-Бей-Коув, штат Нью-Йорк, был пострижен в монашество архиепископом Бостонским и Новоанглийским Иринеем (Бекишем) с именем Феодосий в честь святого Феодосия Черниговского. 14 октября 1961 года в соборе Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы в Нью-Йорке был рукоположен в сан диакона епископом Вашингтонским Киприаном (Борисевичем). 22 октября 1961 года в православной церкви Святого Григория в Хоумстеде, штат Пенсильвания, иеродиакон Феодосий был рукоположен в сан священника архиепископом Питтсбургским и Западно-Вирджинским Вениамином (Басалыгой).

С 1961 по 1966 год он служил настоятелем церкви Рождества Пресвятой Богородицы в Мэдисоне, штат Иллинойс, и помощником военного капеллана. Он учредил строительную программу, купив недвижимость и построив новую церковь рядом с их существующим зданием. Алтарь был освящен в 1965 году архиепископом Чикагским Иоанном (Гарклавсом), где отец Александр Шмеман был приглашённым оратором во время празднования. В 1966—1967 годах он служил личным секретарем митрополита Иринея.

Епископское служение
На весенней сессии 1967 года Великого совета епископов он был избран епископа Вашингтонским, викарием митрополита всей Америки и Канады и администратором Епархии Аляски, начиная с 1 июня 1967 года. Он был рукоположен во епископа 6 мая 1967 года, в Светлую субботу, в кафедральном соборе Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы в Нью-Йорке. Хиротонию совершили: архиепископ Нью-Йоркский, митрополитом всей Америки и Канады Ириней (Бекиш); архиепископ Бруклинский Никон (де Греве); архиепископ Монреальский и Канадский Сильвестр (Харунс); епископ Филадельфийский и Пенсильванский Киприан (Борисевич); епископ Амфипольский Сила (Коскинас) (Константинопольский патриархат), Епископ Левксийкий Марк (Липа) (Константинопольский патриархат). Сослужение иерархов Константинпольского патриархата с иерархами Северо-Американской митрополии, которую Московский патриархат тогда считал находящейся в расколе, вызвало осуждение со стороны последнего. Патриарх Алексий I направил патриарху Афинагору письмо с протестом и с указанием на то, что «изложенное событие не является одиночным».

17 ноября 1967 года архиерейский собор избрал его епархиальным епископом Ситки и Аляски. Во время своего пребывания на Аляске он руководил восстановлением исторического собора Архангела Михаила в Ситке, который был уничтожен пожаром. Он также инициировал региональные конференции по всей епархии и поощрял создание различных образовательных программ. Он руководил реконструкцией архиерейского дома, который первоначально был построен епископом Иннокентием (Вениаминовым). Во время его пребывания на посту епископа Аляски жители Аляски приняли его в клан коренных жителей, выразив свое восхищение его христианским смирением и любовью к ним. Был организатором подготовки и проведения канонизации преподобного Германа Аляскинского

В мае 1970 года, будучи епископом Аляски, он возглавил делегацию ПЦА, которая отправилась в Москву для получения Томоса об автокефалии Православной Церкви в Америке. Томос был подписан Патриархом Алексием I и Священным Синодом Русской Православной Церкви, а 18 мая 1970 года епископ Феодосий получил его из рук местоблюстителя Патриаршего престола митрополита Пимена (Извекова). Томос гарантировал право на самоуправление Православной Церкви в Америке. Вскоре после этого он провёл на Аляске церемонии, посвященные прославлению одного из первых православных миссионеров на Аляске, Германа Аляскинского. Это событие было знаменательным тем, что впервые североамериканец был внесен в православный календарь святых.

30 мая 1972 года Священным синодом Православной церкви в Америке он был переведён в Епархию Питтсбурга и Западной Пенсильвании. Во время своего пятилетнего пребывания в своём родном регионе он разработал весьма успешную программу подготовки постоянных диаконов, которая в конечном итоге была скопирована другими епархиями по всей стране; поощрял образовательные программы для всех возрастов; и усердно работал над укреплением жизни епархии на всех уровнях. Одним из его самых значительных достижений было приобретение нового имущества для штаб-квартиры архиепископии в городке Крэнберри, штат Пенсильвания, которое включало в себя дом с офисами и большую лесистую территорию.

Предстоятель ПЦА
25 октября 1977 года 5-м Всеамериканском соборе в Монреале, Квебек, был избран архиепископом Нью-Йоркским, митрополитом всей Америки и Канады. Примечательно, что епископ Хартфордский и Новоанглийский Димитрий (Ройстер) в ходе голосования на соборе получил почти 2/3 голосов в первом туре и подавляющее большинство во втором, однако Священный Синод избрал предателем епископа Феодосия, занявшего второе место по числу голосов. Он стал первым американцем по рождению, занявшим этот пост. 21 марта 1978 года решением Священного синода ПЦА, предстоятель ПЦА митрополит Феодосий (Лазор) выступил с предложением учреждения епархии на территории 14 южных штатов США и был поддержан Синодом. Епископ Димитрий (Ройстер) был освобождён от управления Хартфордской и Новоанглийской епархией и назначен епископом Далласским и епархии Юга.

Кроме того, он часто оказывал архипастырское попечение епархиям, временно оставшимся без епископа — например, в качестве местоблюстителя Канадской епархией в течение почти десяти лет. Он неустанно путешествовал по всему континенту, чтобы председательствовать на приходских и епархиальных торжествах. Хотя он носил высокий титул Предстоятеля, им широко восхищались за его способность быть доступным. Он искренне наслаждался общением как с духовенством, так и с мирянами и приветствовал всех с теплой улыбкой. Он помнил людей лично по именам, даже если не видел их годами.

В 1981 году Священный Синод епископов учредил новую епархию Вашингтона, округ Колумбия, в качестве резиденции Предстоятеля Православной Церкви в Америке. Будучи архиепископом Вашингтонским, митрополит Феодосий руководил этой епархией в дополнение к своим обязанностям предстоятеля.

На протяжении всего своего пребывания в должности митрополит Феодосий встречался со многими мировыми религиозными лидерами, включая предстоятелей различных автокефальных церквей. В 1990 году он был первым православным предстоятелем, которого официально пригласил новоназначенный Патриарх Московский Алексий II, а в 1992 году его также пригласили принять участие в праздновании 600-летия преставления преподобного Сергия Радонежского. В 1991 и 1993 годах он принимал у себя Патриарха Алексия II. Он принимал Предстоятеля Православной Церкви Грузии Патриарха-Католикоса Илию II в 1998 году и митрополита Варшавского и всея Польши Савву в 2000 году. В качестве гостя многих национальных и зарубежных религиозных лидеров митрополит Феодосий посетил Израиль, Египет, Турцию, Грецию, Грузию, Украину, Россию и другие страны. Он принял участие в официальных диалогах с Патриархом Константинопольским Варфоломеем в Патриаршей штаб-квартире в Стамбуле, Турция.

Митрополит Феодосий играл активную роль в межправославных собраниях, консультациях и органах, включая Постоянную конференцию канонических православных епископов в Северной и Южной Америке (SCOBA), членом которой являелась ПЦА. Он продолжал быть решительным сторонником различных межправославных служений, включая Международные православные христианские благотворительные организации (IOCC) и Центр православных христианских миссий (OCMC). Он также был ярым сторонником православного единства в Северной Америке. Вместе с членами Священного Синода Епископов Православной Церкви в Америке он участвовал в организованном SCOBA собрании североамериканских иерархов в декабре 1994 года в Лигонье, штат Пенсильвания.

Митрополит Феодосий был частым гостем в Белом доме в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, к нему обращались президенты Буш и Клинтон за советом по религиозным и политическим вопросам в различных частях мира, особенно после падения коммунизма в конце 1980-х и начале 1990-х годов. Во время кризиса в Косово он смело защищал права всех народов региона, одновременно призывая президента Клинтона прекратить воздушную кампанию НАТО.

28 сентября 1994 года митрополит Феодосий был гостем доктора Джеймса Биллингтона в Библиотеке Конгресса на открытии исторической экспозиции, посвященной вкладу Православной Церкви и коренных народов Аляски в Северную Америку. Во время церемонии митрополита Феодосия приветствовали президент США Билл Клинтон и президент России Борис Ельцин.

25 октября 1977 года на V Всеамериканском Соборе в Монреале епископ Феодосий был избран предстоятелем Православной Церкви в Америке с титулом Блаженнейший архиепископ Нью-Йоркский, митрополит всея Америки и Канады. Чин интронизации был совершён 30 октября того же года.

В 1980 году кафедра предстоятеля ПЦА была перенесена в Вашингтон, столицу США, и титул Феодосия был соответственно изменён на Блаженнейший архиепископ Вашингтонский, а Нью-Йоркскую кафедру занял епископ Пётр (Л'Юилье). Перемена титула носила формальный характер, поскольку канцелярия и центральный аппарат ПЦА сохранили свою резиденцию в пригороде Сайоссет, на территории штата Нью-Йорк.

11 июня 1999 года вместе с Патриархом Алексием II совершил великое освящение храма св. вмц. Екатерины — Представительства Православной Церкви в Америке в Москве.

На покое
Перенеся серию инсультов, митрополит Феодосий 2 апреля 2002 года подал Священному Синоду прошение о уходе на покой. Прошение было удовлетворено; было объявлено о проведении 13-го Всеамериканского Собора в Орландо (Флорида) 22 июля того же года для избрания преемника.

Во время пребывания на покое митрополит Феодосий сначала жил в Хэмлине, штат Пенсильвания, недалеко от Свято-Тихоновского монастыря, а затем переехал в Вашингтон, штат Пенсильвания. Он активно посещал Богослужения в православной церкви Святого Иоанна Крестителя в Канонсбурге, штат Пенсильвания, и снова стал почитаемым человеком в своей родной общине. Поскольку его здоровье продолжало ухудшаться, за ним ухаживали протодиакон Джон и матушка Мира Олейник, а также прихожанин Ричард Блаха и другие священнослужители и прихожане в этом районе. В последние годы своей жизни он поступил в дом престарелых, а затем в дом престарелых, поскольку его здоровье пошатнулось.

В период финансового скандала был уличён в переводах общецерковных средств на свой личный банковский счет.

How important is presidential personality and leadership style in foreign policy decisions? To answer this question, Thomas Preston takes readers inside the Bush administrations decision-making process and use of intelligence to better understand how administration officials justified the Iraq Warand how they sought to avoid blame for the consequences of their actions. Based on extensive interviews with key Bush and Johnson administration officials, Preston offers students of American foreign policy, presidential decision making, the dynamics of blame avoidance, and future practitioners with an in depth examination of how presidential personality and leadership style impacted Bushs central foreign policy failure. In addition, Preston looks critically at the oft-cited comparisons of Iraq to Lyndon Johnsons leadership during the Vietnam War, exploring where the analogy fits and a number of important differences. He shows how both presidents styles exacerbated their managerial weaknesses in these cases and the limits of blame avoidance strategies. Importantly, the book provides a cautionary tale for future leaders to consider more carefully the long-term consequences of satisfying their short term policy desires by lifting the lid to any new Pandoras trap.


Affinity credit card – Governments, non governmental organisations and research organisations around the world have come to a common ground and agreed that sport plays a critical role in today modern society. Sport has been identified as a key to achieving social cohesion between people of different races, religion and academic background. Sport also contributes to the creation of a healthy society mentally and physically. Sport over the last couple of decades has become a multi-billion business sector worth investing in and providing great returns on investment. It's however the power of sports to unite people and promote healthy living which has attracted Nedbank. One of the ways Nedbank has reaffirmed its commitment to sport is by introducing the sport affinity credit card.

In my practice, my clients and I frequently talk about coping skills and other ways to de-stress. Today, I wanted to spotlight one of my personal favorites-crochet. I am the type of person who doesn't feel comfortable unless I'm moving. I need to keep my hands busy, which helps me to focus and ground myself. I know I'm not the only one… there are definitely more like me out there! Because of this, I always have objects within reach in my office (i.e. stress balls, putty, kinetic sand, etc.) for both clients and me to use during sessions. When I'm home, my main go-to is a ball of yarn and a crochet hook.
Let me be upfront. I am by no means a crochet master. Not even close. In fact, I only know how to create items that are square or rectangular, like scarves and blankets (one of my new year's resolutions is to advance my skills). When I crochet, I feel relaxed and calm. The repetitive motions help ground me and feel present.
Soothes anxiety and depression symptoms by creating soothing, rhythmic motions!
Increases concentration and reduces restlessness by being able to move while "sitting still"!
Helps to redirect negative thoughts to something productive!
Decreases feelings of hopelessness and other negative feelings by working on (and finishing) a project!
Increases self-esteem (be proud of what you have created and have an opportunity to show your talent)!
So, make a gift for yourself or someone else! Donate your creations to a charity! Blankie Depot is a great charity located right here in Monmouth County, NJ!
Below, I am including links of websites and videos that can be helpful to beginners! It's a new year. Whether it's this or something else, teach yourself a new coping skill!


We used to submerge this LED remote controlled lamp into that square glass vessel.
It worked well until the condensation inside the LED shorted out the electronics & you don't need to guess what happened next. This was because the vessel is filled with water beads, the kind that swell up from a pin head size to a pea size when you add water.
The idea came to put the LED underneath to get the same effect.
The bottom & top pieces of wood are out of the same piece, I think it's maple.
The hole in the bottom piece is at the same depth as the thickness of the LED lamp & slots were machined to fit the top & bottom to hold the glass in place.
Finished with wipe on poly.
A very unique idea well executed.
Thanks Karson. Yes locally. You would need to find something suitable & make the wood fit but that shouldn't be an issue. Even a bowl or a round container would do the trick.
Nice end to an interesting project. Well done Tony.
Very cool idea, may borrow this.
Now that is one interesting lamp Tony! Nice work and Thanks for sharing!
I like that idea, would like to try making one similar. Well done.
Clever combination of materials. Sorry the light crapped out.
I like it Tony. Great idea. I'll have to show my wife. She may want this out on the patio.
Thanks for looking Jocks. Don't forget to post your versions if you make one.
Nice grumpy will definitely have to try this when weather warms up.
Wish one day to visit the outback !
Thanks Randy. The outback is on notice and awaits your presence.

Let's start with the items that you'll have to get from your local home improvement store.
10 X 8mm 8-32 screws and a 2.5mm allen wrench to secure the lenses. If you stroll down the hardware aisle, you'll see all kinds of alternatives if this particular type doesn't suit your fancy.
1 X 8mm M3 Screw, Nut, and a paper washer for the bridge.
Add to this some epoxy and super glue - Gorilla brand is highly adequate. And... some 220 grit sand paper.

Q: How to query on CURL I have a use case, to fetch the last 5 minute data from the storage device. The API runs fine when i added in python, but while adding into curl, it is not passing the whole content.
curl -X GET -H "X-EMC-REST-CLIENT: true" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -b cookies1.txt -L -k -u admin:xxxxxxx https://mystorageipaddress.com/api/types/event/instances?compact=true&fields=id,node,creationTime,severity,messageId,arguments,message,category,source,username&filter=creationTime GT "2022-11-02T10:35:09.927Z"

Above curl is only triggering till below :
"https://mystorageipaddress.com/api/types/event/instances?per_page=2000&compact=true"

Please suggest

A: You have to escape the characters with special meaning to the shell, i.e.
https://mystorageipaddress.com/api/types/event/instances\?compact=true\&fields=id,node,creationTime,severity,messageId,arguments,message,category,source,username\&filter=creationTime\ GT\ \"2022-11-02T10:35:09.927Z\"

However, I doubt that the spaces before and after GT should really be in the URL. You would have to represent them by %20, i.e. something like
https://mystorageipaddress.com/api/types/event/instances\?compact=true\&fields=id,node,creationTime,severity,messageId,arguments,message,category,source,username\&filter=creationTime%20GT%20\"2022-11-02T10:35:09.927Z\"

Of course you can also use single quotes around the string for escaping instead of a backslash, if you prefer.

Code of practice for philanthropy
ANU has adopted a Code of Practice for Philanthropy adapted from Universities Australia, 2000 which details the rights and obligations between donors and the University. Key aspects of this relationship include:
How gifts will be used
The University will ensure that all gifts are consistent with the letter and spirit of the law and are used in accordance with our donor's wishes. As the University's academic objectives may change in the future, the University will consult wherever possible with benefactors about the way their gift may be used. When donors do not designate a specific objective for their gift these funds will be used to support the University's key academic priorities.
Limits on the kinds of gifts ANU receives
The University reserves the right to decline gifts where acceptance would compromise our fundamental principles, including that of academic freedom.
Recognition of gifts
All donors will receive an official tax receipt from The Australian National University as well as appropriate acknowledgment and recognition for their generosity.
The University will respect the privacy of all donors. Donor information will be used by the University to maintain contact with donors and to keep donors up-to-date with information about the University, its services, events and achievements. It may be passed to groups affiliated with the University, such as alumni organisations. Donor's names may be published in some publications as an acknowledgment of their generosity.
Giving anonymously
The University will provide anonymity for donors who request it and can tailor the level of contact that donors receive to reflect each donor's wishes.
Legal and financial advice
Yes, the University will always advise donors to seek their own independent legal and financial advice to ensure the best outcome for all parties.
Contact & information from ANU
Representatives of the University will at all times identify themselves as such when they contact current or potential donors.
Once a donation is made the University will provide donors with regular reports about the way their gifts have contributed to our success. It will also make available the University's most recently published financial statements, usually in the form of Annual Reports.
When a donor has supported a particular academic position or provided financial assistance to students, the University will undertake wherever possible to keep them informed about the award or appointment, but they do not have the right to influence the outcome.

Home / Shopping / RS McColl
RS McColl
McColl's has a long and rich history in retail and is well established in the convenience sector. The Group was founded in 1973 in vending operations and grew to become the established leader in these markets.
By 1994 the Group was involved in retail through its ownership of the long standing Forbuoys chain of newsagents. In 1994 the strategy to convert to convenience was launched and the Group's first food based stores were opened. In 1995 the Group's entire operations were acquired in a management buy out.
In 1998 the Martin's chain of newsagents and convenience stores was acquired. Martin's was the owner of R S McColl, a brand with strong heritage in Scotland dating back to 1901. The combination of Forbuoys and Martins created the largest neighbourhood retailer in the United Kingdom.
In the early 2000s the Group sold its vending interests to focus entirely on retail operations, where the strategy continued to be to open convenience stores.
The Group completed a secondary buy out in 2005 and consolidated its existing store fascias into the core brands of McColl's for convenience and Martin's or R S McColl for newsagents.
In February 2014 the Group achieved a successful listing on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. Today the Group remains focused on growing its neighbourhood presence. It opened its 1,000th convenience store in 2016 and recently completed the transformational acquisition of 298 quality convenience stores from the Co-op.
The Group currently operates 1,650 stores, comprising 1,292 convenience stores and 358 newsagents.

Newark village receives funding for water treatment plant
Source: Wayne Post | April 19th, 2018 | By Messenger Post Media
Location: United States, New York
The village of Newark recently received $553,000 from the New York State Department of Health for water fluoridation at its water treatment plant.
Mayor Jonathan Taylor and administrator Stephen Murawski submitted a grant request in 2017 with help from MRB Group. A fourth round of funding through the state's Drinking Water Fluoridation program became available, and the village board of trustees quickly supported an application.
"If there's an opportunity to offset the cost of needed system maintenance or improvements, we will do everything we can to reduce the cost to our water customers," Taylor said. " We pursued the grant, and got it. This is a great day for the residents and water customers of Newark."
"This announcement is great news for the village of Newark and local residents," said State Sen. Pam Helming, R-54th District. "Mayor Taylor and the village of Newark board are terrific partners in government, and I was proud to support this project. As state senator, I will continue my efforts to drive critical state investment in local water and sewer infrastructure. These projects are important for the future of Newark, and will ensure that local families have access to safe, affordable water now and for generations to come."
The funding required an application process, which included submission of an engineer's report that outlined proposed improvements to the system. According to Shawn Bray, engineer at MRB Group, current operations and well-planned maintenance worked in the village's favor.
"The state wants to be sure they are investing in communities with sound strategies for maintaining water infrastructure," Bray said. "Newark has proven that good planning is beneficial, not only in making sure the village's aging assets are properly maintained, but also in pursuit of opportunities like this to lower the expense to local residents."
The funding will enable the village to relocate and upgrade its currently aging fluoridation equipment, increasing its efficiency.
"I am elated that Newark is focused on improving and upgrading its infrastructure, and that the village's meticulous attention to maintenance was a factor in being awarded this competitive grant," said Assemblyman Robert Oaks, R-130th District. "This project continues Newark's strong efforts in improving and upgrading the village's critical infrastructure."
"We are very pleased to be able to announce this investment by the state in our community," Taylor said.
Taylor thanked Helming and Oaks for their support, as well as his staff and MRB Group for their work in securing the grant.
"It's rewarding on many levels, since we reduced the financial impact and increased what we can accomplish with limited local funds," Taylor said.
The project will be part of the planned upgrades taking place at the village's water treatment facility on Freshour Road in Shortsville. The village also received $3 million in state funding for the larger project through last year's investment in water infrastructure, an initiative to address aging water systems and components statewide. The problem plagues many communities without the significant financial resources needed to replace water lines, filtration and plant buildings that outlived their intended lifespans. The village worked with MRB Group to design system improvements, implement new technology, increase efficiency and keep long-term operational costs as low as possible.
"The village of Newark and our water customers will see the benefit of these water system improvements for many years to come," Taylor said.

Lågskär Lighthouse is an automated lighthouse located on the north side of Lågskär, one of Finland's Åland Islands in the Sea of Åland of the Baltic. It is the only striking feature on Lågskär on the generally uninhabited island.
The 23-metre (75 ft) lighthouse is designed as a concrete tower, square in shape, with a lantern and gallery. The lens has a focal plane of 42 metres (138 ft) with white light flashing every 12 seconds. The light has run on wind power since 1986. While the ground floor of the site is open, the tower itself is closed. It is maintained by the Finnish Maritime Administration, and the buildings are often let out to ornithologists studying on the island.
A wooden lighthouse was built in 1840 on northwestern tip of the island and was rebuilt in 1859 as a masonry structure. During World War I, it was destroyed by Russian bombardment. A temporary structure was erected thereafter. The present lighthouse was constructed in 1920. It introduced a rotating gas lighting device, which was the first of its kind in the world.
There is a commemorative postage stamp of the Lågskär Lighthouse, part of Åland's "Lighthouses series", with a denomination of 2.10 Finnish markka (fm). It was issued on 8 May 1992 and remained valid until 30 June 2002.
The 23-metre (75 ft) light is designed as a concrete tower, square in shape, with a lantern and gallery. The tower is painted red and the lantern white. There is also a 1.5 storey keeper's house and other light station buildings. It is a functional navigational guide and has a range of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi). The lens has a focal plane of 42 metres (138 ft) with white light flashing every 12 seconds. The lighthouse has run on wind power since 1986. Since automation, the outbuildings and the tower have been used as an ornithological station.

"(…) if you want to have an example of an absolutely complete man, that man, that example is Mandela. If you want to have an example of a man unshakably firm, courageous, heroic, serene, intelligent, capable, that example and that man is Mandela".
This 18th of July the world commemorates the centenary birth of an indispensable man, a man who devoted his life to fight for the rights of his people. His spirit of sacrifice, his capacity for resistance and his ideals of freedom, justice, equality and fraternity made him an icon that transcended the borders of his homeland, and decisively influenced the conception of a new South Africa and an African continent in harmony.
It is no coincidence that Nelson Mandela is remembered 100 years after his birth. Nor is it a casual fact the close friendship, respect and mutual admiration that existed between that great anti-apartheid fighter and the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.
Cuba, in its commitment to keep the legacy of the anti-apartheid leader present and as a valuable tribute to the historical example of this African giant, has organized diverse activities to celebrate the International Day of Nelson Mandela.
The historic leader of South Africa was remembered on July 4 in Havana, with the graduation of 703 young people from that country who finished their medical studies in Cuba.
In that spirit, on July 4, the graduation ceremony of 703 South African medical students took place in Havana, which was attended by Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Minister in the Presidency of South Africa, along with senior Cuban leaders. With a similar purpose, a photographic exhibition, "Mandela 100", was inaugurated in Havana, and it will remain open to the public until August 13, the date on which the birth of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz, is celebrated.
Last July 14, while activities to commemorate the 173rd anniversary of the birth of Antonio Maceo Grajales and the 90th anniversary of the birth of Ernesto Che Guevara were still fresh, the 5th edition of the "Nelson Mandela Race" was held in Havana, Cuba.
Undoubtedly, Madiba occupies a special place in the heart of the Cuban people.
