Custom-made equipment to transport catamaran across the globe
When Freight e com, a specialist in the yacht transportation industry was asked to ship a seven metre wide catamaran across the globe, something had to be done. The unusually wide cargo required a customised solution and they turned to Höegh Autoliners with their expertise in transporting out-of-gauge cargo.
Recently, Höegh Autoliners was chosen to provide the ocean transportation of a 7.12 metre wide catamaran that needed to be shipped from Antwerp to Brisbane. The width of the catamaran was a challenge as it could not be placed on a single 40 foot rolltrailer which has a total width of 2.60 metres.
Höegh had been working on a prototype of its double mafi concept that had been developed, tested and approved in the U.S. and here was an opportunity to use the equipment in a commercial operation.
Geir Paulsen, Global Breakbulk Operation Manager says, "We came up with a unique design involving two 40 foot rolltrailers joined together by a coupling kit system. The system comprises of an easy to use system, which locks two 40 foot rolltrailers side by side. A twin gooseneck was also developed and produced on a Höegh design, and this ensures the tugmaster has a firm hold of the rolltrailer at all times during transport."
In this case, the catamaran also required a vessel with a wider door clearance than the regular vessels, which can only accommodate cargo up to seven metres wide.
Franck Desgre, Segment Sales Manager of Höegh Autoliners France says,
Our New Horizon vessels provide incredible flexibility in the different types of cargo we can load and we are now able to transport cargo with a maximum width of 12 metres. Höegh Trotter, in our regular Europe to Oceania service, was chosen and proved the perfect fit to transport the unit.
With the support of stevedores at the port, and Höegh's cargo handling team on-site in Antwerp, the catamaran was lifted out of the water and placed on the double rolltrailer where it was loaded on board the vessel ready for its ocean transport. Safely stowed under deck it was ready for its six-week journey to Brisbane.
Franck continues,
This operation was the perfect opportunity to show case our latest innovative equipment and prove that we have the capabilities in the breakbulk segment to handle wider cargo than before.

Joint Investigation Leads to Arrest of an Unlicensed Medical Doctor
Tallahassee, Fla.— The Florida Department of Health Unlicensed Activity (ULA) Unit's joint investigation with Doral Police Department, Miami-Dade Police Department Medical Crimes Unit, Miami Dade State Attorney's Office, and City of Doral Code Enforcement has led to the arrest of Jose A. Ramirez (AKA Jose A. Ramirez Perez) for alleged unlicensed practice of medicine. Unlicensed practice of medicine is a third degree felony and punishable by up to one year in jail.
The joint operation was conducted today at Ramirez's home and at his business, Med-Clinic Healthcare (located at 10800 NW 58th Street, Doral), where undercover police officers from the Doral Police Department and the Miami Dade Police Department Medical Crimes Unit followed and eventually conducted an investigative stop at NW 87th Avenue and NW 25th Street. Ramirez was arrested for practicing medicine without a license.
The Department of Health issued a Notice to Cease and Desist for practicing medicine without a license and a citation in the amount of $1,000.00. An ex-employee at the Med-Clinic Healthcare witnessed Jose A. Ramirez perform medical procedures on patients and also diagnosed and treated medical conditions on patients from May 2017 through August 2017. The ex-employee also witnessed Ramirez write prescriptions for patients using Dr. Manuel Lopez Diaz's name and State-issued medical license. The City of Doral Code Enforcement shut down the business pending a hearing.
The department has several resources to combat unlicensed activity:
Consumers are encouraged to use the department's website www.flhealthsource.gov/ula where they can conveniently view the license information of their health care practitioner.
Complaints may be filed anonymously by completing and mailing the complaint form on the Florida Department of Health's Web site, calling 1-877-HALT-ULA, or emailing HALTULA@flhealth.gov.
The department's Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) investigates and refers for prosecution all unlicensed health care activity complaints and allegations. The ULA Unit works in conjunction with law enforcement and the state attorney's offices to prosecute individuals practicing without a license. In many instances, unlicensed activity is a felony level criminal offense. More importantly, receiving health care from unlicensed people is dangerous and could result in further injury, disease or even death.
Working in conjunction with 22 boards and six councils, MQA regulates seven types of facilities and 200-plus license types in more than 40 health care professions. MQA evaluates the credentials of all applicants for licensure, issues licenses, analyzes and investigates complaints, inspects facilities, assists in prosecuting practice act violations, combats unlicensed activity and provides credential and discipline history about licensees to the public.

If you have been on social media in the last week you have likely seen 15,000 bloggers talking about the Nordstrom Sale #nsale. It's for a good reason. You can get NEW fall items at a huge discount.
This is my time to load up on items that will last for years to come.
If you have the Nordstrom credit card you can get early access on July 12th to shop as well as triple points on any day that you choose. Just contact them via chat to get the points. Don't forget your "nordie notes" if you have them. Public access is July 20th and the sale ends on August 5th.
A few tips for the sale….
Set your account up online prior to the sale so you are ready.
Once is hits your cart, PURCHASE! Items in your cart are not yours and can sell out. Its free shipping so just get it.
If you have the Nordstrom CC you can take advantage of the 0% APR for this sale.
If you are between sizes order both and you can always return.
If you are shopping through a blogger and would like to give them credit (we make the smallest percentage off your purchases) you will need to buy items from that link. If you move to another bloggers site and click then they will get the credit.
Make a budget and stick to it. Just because it's on sale doesn't mean you need it.
This is also a good time to think about Christmas gifts as well as winter items for your children.
Think PRICE PER WEAR. If I buy this item how many times will I wear it? A winter jacket that is $150- I can use for 5 years and wear 50 times a year. Totally worth it.
Nordstrom has the best customer service and return policy EVER.
I already went a did a try on of everything that my store had to offer. All the pics and details will be live bright and early tomorrow. My list of must haves are below.
Happy shopping! Reach out with any questions!
Valentine's Day is right around the corner and today I am sharing some of my favorite items leading up to the Hallmark holiday. We typically keep it pretty casual by either cooking at home or grabbing some Mexican margaritas! Side note – I already made my kiddos their Valentine's for preschool using our adorable printables (easties DIY ever)! Last year I was the only mom that didn't have something for the boys to pass out. Which resulted in lots of tears and guilt…Huge mom fail!
V-Day is all about adding pops of pink and red (some of our favorite colors)! Here are some of the current items I am obsessing over right now.
Its chilly out and I want to be cozy and stylish, so its the perfect time to get out all the fabulous flannels. We have rounded up some of our fav spots to grab them, plus are showing you all the different ways to style them. Seriously, all the ways from work to leggings. Most of our flannels today will be in plaid so if you can't handle all the plaid then walk away now.
Target: duh, what does Target not have.
Old Navy: They carry flannels for the entire family and you cannot find a better deal!
J Crew Factory: They have the next best deals around and some prints you usually don't see in other stores.
Madewell: If you want some real style for your flannels go straight to Madewell. These are not your basic plaid tops. I want EVERYTHING they have and their ex- boyfriend button down is my favorite for the weekends. There's a ton on SALE right now.
Rails: This is definitely a SPLURGE piece for your wardrobe but totally worth it. The material is the softest ever and will literally last you a life time. Promise!

The West Cork Murder Case
It has become my summer obsession: The murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier in a remote area of West Cork, Ireland, 1996. A French woman, wealthy, attractive, and free-spirited, spending a Christmas holiday alone in her remote Irish cottage turned up dead. No, not dead. Savagely murdered. Bludgeoned with multiple rocks and a cinder block, her nightclothes snagged in brambles, and her body laid open to the sky on the edge of a dirt driving path.
It all happened in an area where murders are incredibly rare, and the rage exacted on her body was so savage that this alone defies explanation. But it gets stranger. It seems that Sophie was fairly reclusive and very few locals knew anything about her. No one knows who might have the motive or opportunity. No one knows what she did with her days, or what her trip was about. No one (save for the murderer) seems to have seen anything pertinent. No physical evidence points to the culprit. Almost nothing about the case makes sense. The whole thing is one of the most curious circumstances I've ever researched.

American Expats in Ireland: Ways in Which Life is Different
Hello, Americans. If you're thinking of moving to Ireland, or maybe just visiting for a nice long time, there are some cultural and day-to-day differences that may throw you for a loop. Some of them are obvious–like driving on the left and not pulling a gun on people in traffic. But there are more subtle changes you'll experience, and it's helpful to know what you're getting into before you order a sandwich with extra mustard, drive on bald tires, go hunting for Tylenol, or renew your Amazon subscription.
Irish life is just a bit different. Here's how:

Star Trek: Voyager–Being Katie O'Clare
I have a very special story for you about Star Trek: Voyager and how my life inadvertently imitated a holodeck fantasy. Gather 'round.
The tale of my holodeck-style adventure starts not terribly long ago when I moved my little family to Ireland. One night shortly after our move, my husband and I lay in bed, me dozing off after a long day of unpacking boxes. He, intent on finding a new show to watch on Netflix, was irritatingly scrolling through app menus so that they flickered through the dark room and pierced my closed eyelids. Sighing, I cracked my eyes open just enough to see the screen. One of the title cards flashed past my vision and prompted me to mutter through my own drool, "What is Red doing on Star Trek?".
Wait, was I half-asleep? "Was that really RED? That was RED! Red from Orange is the New Black! On STAR TREK!" He scrolled back to a cast photo of Star Trek: Voyager. My husband had been keeping a terrible secret from me! Red, the grumpy prison chef has always been my absolute favorite character from Orange, and he never let on that she was a Star Trek Captain?! Startled by my recognition, he confessed to having never connected Kate Mulgrew's two brilliant roles before–a notion that still horrifies me, and brings great shame upon our family.

Brexit and the Irish Border: Let's Explain It!
Shout out to my friends and family in America who still think that Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are all one country, and part of the UK. America has its own shitshow of problems, so it isn't surprising that so many Americans have no idea what is going not with Ireland and Brexit. It's okay. I'll explain it in terms that can make this accessible to most anyone. Let's start with the basics:
One Island, Two Countries
Ireland is a single island, but it is comprised of two separate countries: The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Thoughts on a Disaffected Pigeon
Some weeks are harder than others.
The weeds are everywhere in the gravel driveway. I've jammed my fingers into the pebbled earth to rip their roots, but there are just too damn many. I had to arm myself with a spray bottle of vinegar and lemon juice and spritz them, plant by plant. Hunched over with vinegar misting back on to my clothing from the hilly breezes rushing past, it was a desperate and smelly attempt to avoid the commercial stuff.
That's when the pigeon landed. He was a majestic, slightly pudgy fellow who had been tap dancing on the roof for some time leading up to my weed expedition. I had heard him from my oversized living room chair where I had been munching tuna salad on crackers. I was afraid it was mice in the attic. Or maybe Benny the Badger came back and somehow got on the roof. Sounds weird, but he's the one who shut off the water supply to the house. That was a talented badger. It's a shame his life was cut short attempting to cross a bendy part of the road. Such a waste.

The Meaning of Being Unemployed and Staring at Cow Arses
Sometimes the universe sculpts an entire day out of mockery and disillusionment.
Today I was asked to herd cattle for the first time in my life, which is a very Green Acres experience for someone who has only seen a real living cow up-close at the zoo or (once or twice) at a petting farm. The cows from the next pasture had invited themselves into the road and my yard for some green snackage, and somehow this became a situation where I was walking through my front gate and into the road, with my cellphone to my ear, following bobbing cow rumpuses toward my farmer neighbor. It seems like it should be easy to keep the cows going down the road, but I had doubts about being too aggressive. What if I anger one of the mamas, or worse yet, the bull? Even if they don't turn and charge me, they could spook and cause a massive upset much like the antics caused by Billy Crystal's coffee grinder in City Slickers. So with the cell phone in my jeans pocket, I casually picked up a stick long enough to tap on the ground and strolled behind the stragglers, tapping the stick on the asphalt whenever they slowed to munch some grass. It worked, albeit very slowly. I thought it was a lovely stroll. The farmer who was waiting with the open gate was less than impressed at my leisurely approach. He smiled and shook his head, then made a remark that I didn't have an ounce of farmer in me–and it wasn't even a zippy come-on line.

Know Your Irish Road Signs
Thinking of visiting Ireland this year on vacation? Getting around in a new country can be tricky, confusing, and startling. Don't panic. This is why I have assembled the following guide to help you navigate […]


Even though it was a tearful farewell, Obama returned to the theme of his 2008 campaign: hope.
Obama only made passing reference to Donald Trump, pledging that his administration would "ensure the smoothest possible transition" just as his predecessor George W Bush did for him, and the nation's politics needed to reflect "the decency" of the American people.
When Obama noted how soon the change was going to happen and the crowd began booing, he responded, "No, no, no, no, no", saying one of the nation's great strengths "is the peaceful transfer of power from one president to the next".
Even though Trump was only fleetingly mentioned by name, much of what Obama said seemed to be a response to his successor's vision for America. He lamented politicians who questioned climate change, warned of the threat of fake "news" and urged people to get out of their "bubbles" and fight for unity.
The president acknowledged the "stark inequality" that was damaging America's democratic principles, in a nod to the economic uncertainty that helped pave Trump's way to the White House.
He said too many inner city and rural families had been left behind, convinced the "game is fixed against them" and the government serves only powerful interests.
Referring to Trump's calls for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration, Obama rejected discrimination against Muslim Americans who are "just as patriotic as we are".
Obama took the opportunity to pay tribute to the sacrifices made by his wife and daughters throughout his tenure as president.
He praised his wife for taking on her role "with grace and grit and style and good humour" and for making the White House "a place that belongs to everybody".
After returning to Washington, he will have less than two weeks before Trump takes on the mantle. Obama then plans to take some time off, write a book, and immerse himself in a Democratic re-districting campaign.

                Post-Season Games are TBD

A: Images by default align with the text along the baseline. Keeping your current code structure, you can use vertical-align: middle for your image as follows:

    Packers: 10   Warriors: 23

Though I'd eventually get rid of the nbsp; and use css with margin or padding instead.

A: Adding vertical-align:middle to the cell's image should fix the problem.
.luncheon td img {
  vertical-align:middle
}

A: Can you refactor the code so that warriors has it's own TD cell? This will ensure that the team names line up!

A: Your images/packers.png and text after it aligned by baseline. I think you need to make two blocks with equal height: i.e. encapsulate text in span in apply next css:
.luncheon .right span {
    whitespace: no-wrap;
    display: inline-block;
    height: {height-of-your-packers-image};

    background-position: left middle;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    padding-left: {width-of-your-packers-image};
}

A: If you want whole  content to align right, create class for that  and use { text-align: right; } for that class;
If you want that  to be left align, i ll provide you alternate but its not best solution, create another  for that game image.for text part use another  with { text-align: right; }

MetLife Stadium is now adorned with a ring of solar panels that can change color. (Photograph courtesy NRG)
Great Energy Challenge
NFL Season Opener Under the Solar-Powered Lights
ByAmy Sinatra Ayres
When the reigning Super Bowl champions kick off the first game of the season Wednesday against the Dallas Cowboys, they'll do it under a new solar ring around the top of MetLife Stadium, lit up in New York Giants blue.
The NFL's biggest stadium, which is also home to the New York Jets, is debuting a high-profile push toward renewable energy with a ring featuring 1,350 solar panels, which can turn blue or green, depending on which team is playing.
"I think it's really going to emerge as sort of an iconic physical element" for the stadium, said David Crane, chief executive officer of NRG Energy, which designed the ring. "I actually saw it the first time in person on a Continental Airlines jet, from seat 42A. It's very, very impressive — it's actually more impressive from the outside of the stadium," he said.
Together, the panels generate 25 times the power needed to run the LED lights that come to life at night. The excess power is used to service the rest of the stadium. In all, the solar power system generates 350,000 kilowatt hours — enough to meet approximately 10 percent of the stadium's power needs on game days.
And it's not NRG's only new renewable energy installation this season.
Farther north, at the home of the Giants' Super Bowl rivals, the New England Patriots, construction is still under way on a solar canopy and set of rooftop panels at Patriot Place, an outdoor shopping and dining center that's adjacent to Gillette Stadium. The canopy, which also offers cover for patrons, and the installation that now sits atop a Sleepy's Mattress store, add up to 3,000 solar panels. The combination is expected to generate 1.1 million kilowatt hours a year — about 60 percent of Patriot Place's electricity usage.
Although NRG debuted a stadium solar project last year — an array 8,000 of panels in the parking area at the Redskins' FedEx Field in Maryland — this year's projects have taken on a higher profile because they're at the homes of the teams who faced off in the last Super Bowl.
Other stadiums have gotten in on the renewable energy act, too: the Seattle Seahawks installed a 2.5-acre solar array at CenturyLink Field last year; and the Philadelphia Eagles, who are now working with NRG, are working to make Lincoln Financial Field "the greenest facility in the National Football League," owner Jeffrey Lurie recently said.
(Related: "Pictures: Kickoff Time for Green Stadiums")
Of course, the companies affiliated with these efforts don't always make it to the end zone. The Seahawks' array was installed by the now-bankrupt Solyndra, and part of the Eagles' green efforts suffered a hiccup when the vendor for planned rooftop wind turbines at Lincoln Financial Field went under as well. Neither team was derailed by the industry snafus, but they are a reminder of the risks inherent in betting on a new energy strategy.
NRG's projects are part of its "icon strategy," where the company looked for well-known structures in the United States that were "more horizontal construction — and it didn't take us long to get to the NFL stadiums," said Crane. "They're big, they're cool, they're usually surrounded by big parking lots," which lend themselves to solar installations.
(Related: "Helix Collapse Fails to Crush Hopes for Vertical Wind Turbines")
Crane declined to reveal specific price tags for the projects, but said they tend to run in the "several million" dollar range.
And how long does it take for a stadium to recover those costs with energy savings?
"In terms of the return on the investment, we're used to getting a return over a fairly long term in our industry," Crane said. "Any investment we do, we calculate over a 20 year term."
But he says solar isn't as expensive as it once was.
"The price of solar panels has dropped precipitously," said Crane. Most of the costs at the stadiums are associated with their highly stylized looks and the installation work that involves. "You can't do computer-driven LED lighting and achieve the same price point as you can for lining up solar panels in desert." (Which is what many of the company's lower-profile installations involve.)
"On one level, we know that people who are going to football games are going to football games to look at Tom Brady, they're not going to look at our panels on the roof," Crane laughed. Still, the hope is that "fans will look at them and say, 'my team is doing the right thing.' It's really about raising awareness with the fan base."
Crane hopes to continue on to a second phase at each of stadiums, possibly including solar panels in MetLife's vast parking lot, and a wind turbine is under consideration at Gillette.
He's also keen to install more of the company's electric vehicle charging stations at stadiums, which was part of the FedEx Field project and a priority for NRG.
And don't be surprised if next season brings more NFL teams onto the renewable energy playing field.
"The NFL's a very competitive place — and we'd like to be associated with some one-upmanship," Crane said.

Q: installing FLTK 1.3.2 on microsoft visual 2010 I'm getting this linker error when I try to compile the hello world .cpp after installing the FLTK kit.If you notice the library names are from installation found in appendix D in the stroustrup book "programming principles and practice". The edition is 2012 but it seems that  FLTK  version is a bit different now, for instance the version the book recommends to down load is FLTK 1.1.(?), and 1.3.2 is the latest. I think the linker problem is inside my VC++ project under the project/properties/linker/input/additional dependencies tab I put (per appendix d)
fltk.lib
wsock32.lib
comctl32.lib
fltkjpegd.lib
fltkimagesd.lib

But the .lib files I copied from the fltk lib folder didn't have those names. They are named:
fltkzlibd
fltkpngd
fltkjpegd
fltkimagesd
fltkformsd
fltkgld
fltkd

Are these the .lib files to include in VC++ project under the project/properties/linker/input/additional dependencies tab ? If not, how else can I fix this mess?

Q: Opencv: how to set a complete row of pixels? I'm new to opencv so I'm experimenting to learn the basic concepts.
So I started with a simple mat, and tried to set the middle row to some value.
I expected the entire row to be displayed the same, but only the first half of the row is white.

 #define SWIDTH  12
 #define SHEIGHT 12

Mat m = Mat::zeros(SWIDTH, SHEIGHT, CV_16U);

for (int x=0;x<SWIDTH;x++)
    m.at<unsigned char>(SHEIGHT/2,x) = 65000;

cv::Size size(512, 512);
Mat mResized;
cv::resize(m, mResized, size,0,0,INTER_NEAREST );

cv::imshow("mResized", mResized);
cv::imshow("m", m);

So why is only half the row set?

A: The matrix seems to be unsigned short datatype, doesn't that mean you need to use:
m.at<unsigned short>(SHEIGHT/2,x) = 65000;

instead of unsigned char, this could explain why you are filling half of the row only.

A: You can also use row, to set all pixels in the row without using the for loop:
m.row(SHEIGHT/2) = 65000

"My works are generated by my intense feeling for my environment. I seek to find myself and follow it to wherever it leads me." - K K HEBBAR
Focussing on the sea and its elements, Seashore 1987 demonstrates Hebbar's mastery over subject and medium. His later works, including the present lot, often depicted subjects he had explored in his early years, but were now rendered with a "great freedom, simplification of treatment and a deeper philosophical approach in his images." (Veena K Thimmaiah, "Beats & Counterbeats," Rekha Rao and Rajani Prasanna, Hebbar: An Artist's Quest, Bangalore: National Gallery of Modern Art and K K Hebbar Foundation, 2011, p. 139) His preferred medium by the late 1980s was oil paint, as opposed to the tempera he employed in the early 1940s and '50s. He evokes the power and vastness of the ocean through a masterful layering of paint. "Hebbar used titanium white as an under coat as it has the highest tinting strength and most opaque of all whites. He would sometimes scrape one layer of paint to build up another to create a rich texture and finished with brushwork and palette-knife to contribute to the scene of spontaneity... [These] scintillating jewel bright flecks of pigment, flickering between thickly applied layers of impasto, form the key note to the signature style of K K Hebbar's paintings." (Rao and Prasanna, p. 139)
Hebbar's empathy for the working classes was an integral part of his humanism. The vast seascape in the present lot is anchored by the fisherfolk delicately placed in the foreground. "Hebbar's art begins with the visible world of realism and culminates with the ephemeral and the intangible world of abstraction. At no point, however does he completely abandon the figurative - instead his abstraction is distilled from nature into a clarity of form and texture that culminates in a grand simplicity of colour and design." (Rao and Prasanna, p. 31)

Alinta plans 60MW solar farm to slash energy costs for Pilbara mining giants
Giles Parkinson 7 June 2019 0
The Newman battery.
Energy utility Alinta has confirmed plans for a 60MW solar farm in the Pilbara region of north west Australia, saying the land-mark project will slash energy costs for the big mining operations in the area and underpin in new investments and mine expansions.
The 60MW Chichester solar farm, first revealed by RenewEconomy last August, will be located near the big Christmas Creek iron ore mine owned by Fortescue Metals (see map below) but will service mines all along a new transmission line being built by Alinta, including the Cloudbreak mine and Gina Rinehart's Roy Hill mine.
It is part of a major project that will extend the transmission line that runs from the Newman gas generator to Roy Hill mine by another 65kms to Christmas Creek and Cloudbreak.
It is groundbreaking because it is likely the biggest solar farm to be built into such a small and isolated grid, and landing in the middle of a major mining province, will likely change some key thinking about the shift to renewables.
The application for a generation licence with the Economic Regulation Authority of WA says the project (including the transmission) will get funding from both the $5 billion Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), although neither agency has yet made an announcement on the matter.
NAIF, however, says on its website that in February it agreed to provide $90 million in loans to a project it could not at that time identify. It is unclear if it refers to the same project.
Alinta says the solar project will have wide benefits.
"Electricity generated by solar is more affordable than gas-fired or diesel-powered generation which are predominantly used in the region," it says in its application.
"A reduction in the cost of energy to large-use customers in the Pilbara region will increase the opportunities for investment in, and expansion of, resource projects, which are a significant driver of the state's economy."
The Newman generator has already made a name for itself with the inclusion of a 30MW/11MWh battery (pictured at top) that has revolutionised thinking around off-grid and small grid energy installations.
The battery has enabled the gas generator to shut down one of its units, and has been able to maintain power on its own when the gas units have tripped, significantly lifting the reliability of power supply to its big mining customers.
The battery also means that the 60MW solar farm can also be more easily absorbed into the local power system, and mean significantly less diesel is burned at the power plants that currently supply the Christmas Creek and Cloudbreak mines.
The Chichester solar farm will require around 200,000 solar modules, and a new substation nearby. Work on the solar farm is expected to start this month and should be complete by April, 2020.

Gabriel Filippi - Happy Yak : The meal solution for active lifestyle
Country of origin / Canada
Mission : Helping people to fulfill themselves
MOUNTAINEER – SPEAKER – AUTHOR
Last spring (2019), Gabriel Filippi became the first Canadian to climb Everest 3 times. As if that were not enough, in less than 24 hours, he went on to climb the 4th highest peak in the world, Mont Lhotse. In addition, he is the only Quebecer to have climbed Everest by its two slopes.
His book, Instinct of Survival, is a best seller having reached the top 5 sales in Canada. He tells, among other things, how he avoided an attack by terrorists or 11 friends were murdered. Also, his survival at Everest base camp, which left 20 people dead in the Nepal earthquake.
Gabriel Filippi projects are both spectacular and innovative. His "Unexplored Summits" project became the advertising campaign for the 75th anniversary of the jeep. Produced by Discovery Channel, this series has won 7 awards internationally and nationally with over 350 million views.
For his 50th birthday, he, who had never swum before in his life, challenged himself. He decided to do an Ironman! This well-known race consists of a 3.8 km swim in the open sea, immediately followed by a 180 km bike ride to end the day with a 42.2 km marathon run.
A committed man, he joined various social causes both for the care and education of children and for the promotion and protection of the environment. He has been associated, among other things, with the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation. As expedition leader, he achieved a world first by bringing a heart transplant to the summit of Mont Blanc while promoting organ donation.
An athlete on the Canadian team for The North Face, he is preparing for another adventure where his exploration never stops.
"Never stop exploring."

I've been talking to a Gooner mate, and we both agree that these thousands of empty seats ( even for a European Quarter final ) must be having a detrimental effect on the club ?
Yes, most are paid for, but we seem to be the only team in the Premier League that has this problem.
Surely the two new guys have to be looking at this and see a disaster?
For me, the swathes of empty seats has to have much more of an impact on the club sponsors than a few "Wenger out " banners.
Be nice to get some feedback from other Arsenal fans.
But all Gooners have loved the high times, the thrilling moments and winning seasons.
That is what they share, that's what they'll treasure for the rest of their lives.
The views of supporters vary according to age, personality, the dynamics within a group of friends. Being a Gooner frequently runs in families and giving up a season ticket is sometimes done very reluctantly.
As a journalist who covered London clubs, I never really experienced what supporters felt. I only glimpsed that at odd times.
So if you've given up, please let us know why.

Unhandled Promise rejection: Cannot read property 'destroyed' of null ; Zone:  ; Task: Promise.then ; Value: TypeError: Cannot read property 'destroyed' of null

*

*I'm using ChangeDetectionStrategy OnPush

*Looks like this is due to swipe animation

Playground example (Need to do swipes in order to trigger reload and crash)

A: After looking at your code, I see two major reasons for the crash.

*

*You are running swipe event outside Angular context, indeed you were manually triggering the change detection, but I doubt it was done on right time.

*Also, you were not cleaning up your array post animation, so over time there could be 100s of Images eventually affect your performance too.

Here is the Updated Playground, the crash seems to be fixed on my end. But honestly it could be still improved. I would recommend taking a look at the blog post on Tinder Style Cards with NativeScript Angular by Jen Looper, that might help you on improving your design.

The Fascinating History of the Flying Car
By Daniel Miller - August 5, 2020
It might be something right out of a science fiction movie, but people have been fascinated with flying cars for generations. Whether it be a way to beat the traffic or to give us access to the sky, this is the fascinating history of the flying car.
Curtiss Autoplane
In 1917 the Curtiss Autoplane became the world's first flying car. It could only hop off the ground for a short time and had a wingspan of 40 feet, but it was the beginning of our obsession with flying. The four-bladed propeller at the back of the car helped it get airborne for short periods.
ConVairCar Model 118
The idea behind the design of the ConVairCar Model 118 was to create a car that could be attached to a flight module that converted it to a flying machine. Although there were big ambitions for this flying car when it was created in 1947, the prototype crashed and burned. The problem was the prototype ran out of fuel and crashed, putting an end to ConVairCar.
Curtiss-Wright Air Car
Innovation was rife during the 1960s, and the Curtiss-Wright Air Car brought the future to life. This flying car could hover 15 inches above the ground, but interest wasn't high in it. Perhaps looking like an overgrown dodgem didn't make the Air Car an appealing one to consumers.
PAL-V Liberty
The PAL-V Liberty is expected to go into production in the near future, with the Dutch company already taking orders. It's a cross between a car and a gyrocopter that first went on sale in 2019. The PAL-V can cruise at 100mph in the sky, and if it gains certification it will be spotted in our skies in the coming years.
The flying car has been a dream since before people even invented the regular car. With technology advancing at a rapid rate, we hope someday the flying car will become a reality.

Q: NullReferenceException when MyViewModel is instanciated with service dependency injection I try using the best approach to use services in Catel, which is to inject services in the viewmodel's constructor:
public MyViewModel(IMessageService msgService)
{
    Argument.IsNotNull(() => msgService);
    this.messageService = msgService;
    //stuff
}

Yet when I put arguments in this constructor, my program  throws an NullReferenceException, supposedly at the Argument.IsNoNull line (debugging through Catel's code seems to be a pain). When I remove the argument or the IsNotNull validation, it launches fine.
So I do not receive a IMessageService, msgService is always null.
What am I doing wrong? Missing assembly?

EDIT:
It seems like the IMessageService type is registered. I manage to get a reference by using ResolveType:
messageService = ServiceLocator.Default.ResolveType<IMessageService>();

So as far as my project is concerned, the problem is solved. But it doesn't answer the original question: why isn't dependency injection working?

A: If you get a null, it means the dependency cannot be resolved. If you are using the default ServiceLocator of Catel, enable logging to see what's going on under the hood in your application startup:
#if DEBUG
    LogManager.AddDebugListener();
#endif

You can also check if the type is registered by using this code:
var serviceLocator = ServiceLocator.Default;
serviceLocator.IsTypeRegistered<IMessageService>();

A: Have you tried this?
Argument.IsNotNull("msgService", msgService);

In the documentation video they do similar with Argument.ArgumentIsNullOrWhitespace

A: The code for Argument can be found on Git, The usage is correct, i fear you have to check the injection. Try to set a breakpoint in the constructor and go through the code until it reaches the breakpoint.
Are you using a special DI-Framework? Yes - then check the registration/setup otherwise find the code that composes the ViewModel
I've just seen in the documentation that the types are set up automatically. Is it possible to create the object-graph for your service (are there any circular dependencies, or dependencies that cannot be created due to own dependencies or not matching constructors?)

The Customer is in Control
I've often said that your customers control your brand…but they can control alot more too. This is a blurb from Tim Manners via reveries….
About three-quarters of attempts at innovation fail because of the way
corporations go about it, says Eric Von Hippel of M.I.T., as reported in
The Economist (3/10/05). According to Eric, who is also about to publish a book
called Democratizing Innovation, the mistake is that the firms typically send
market researchers out into the field to identify "unmet needs" and then turn
the results over to product-development teams. He says they should instead
identify "the few special customers who innovate" and invite them in to
brainstorm the possibilities.
NOT FOCUS GROUPS. Am I making myself clear? These are not focus groups. These are customers as your R&D. Take a look at these examples from Tim…
GE Healthcare calls these special customers "luminaries" and they meet
regularly to discuss GE's latest technologies and how to turn them into
products. You know, to bring good things to light, or life. Imagination at work.
Staples, the office supplies retailer, applies a similar concept but in a
different way. It held "a competition among customers to come up with new ideas.
It got 8,300 submissions," according to Michael Collins of Big Idea Group, which
helped Staples stage the competition. One result is a new product called
"wordlock — a padlock that uses words instead of numbers" that Staples will
launch this spring.
About two years ago, BMW "posted a toolkit on its website" that allowed its
customers to suggests ways in which the carmaker "could take advantage of
advances in telematic and in-car online services." About 15 of the 1,000
customers who used the kit were invited to meet with BMW's engineers in Munich
and some of the resulting ideas are now in concept stage.
Sometimes, however, the customer innovation happens whether the marketer
asked for it or not. For example, back in 1997, Lego was about three weeks away
from launching a build-it-yourself robot development system" called Mindstorm,
when about 1,000 hackers "downloaded its operating system, vastly improved it,
and posted their work freely online. After a long stunned silence, Lego appears
to have accepted the merits of this community's work: programs written in hacker
language may now be uploaded to the Mindstorms website."
In any case, as Eric Von Hippel notes, the conceptdoesn't cost much because
many customers consider being "listened to" compensation enough. As BMW's Jeorg
Reimann explains: "They were so happy to be invited by us, and that our
technical experts were interested in their ideas. They didn't want any
Free R&D that you know works because the true consumers/users/fans of your product are designing it. Open Source is where it's at.
Maybe you don't need to jump in this deep…but you do need to listen to your customers.

Yes, as I said before he is a very good player, but never for such a transfer fee, according to the market nowadays 15 or max 20 mill. would be fair, never more.
Javi Martinez's agent is approached by Bayern!!!
I mean, I don't doubt there is interest from our side, but their claims should always be taken with a pinch of salt.
The info is wrong,the difference between an spanish and a foreign club is the VAT, if, i.e. Barcelona wants to pay the clause it increases in the VAT amount, but not if it is a foreign club. Anyway Bayern would never pay the clause,so never mind. I keep on considering this deal very difficult, only for the money, Bilbao will not reduce the clause more than to 30 mill.

I agree this deal may be hard, but the thing is that we are leading the race to sign him. Bilbao would be willing to sell him to us rather than Martinez if we offer over 30 million, they would rather loose out a few million than give their player to a rival. I doubt that Barcelona would be willing to offer 40 million to them.
15 million if I remember correctly.
We also have Can. Maybe it is a bit early but I would like to see him make an appearance every now and then.

Zmije růžkatá () je had z čeledi zmijovitých. Žije v jižní Evropě, na Balkáně a na Blízkém východě. Má pověst nejnebezpečnějšího evropského hada vzhledem ke své velikosti, délce jedových zubů (až 13 mm) a vysoké účinnosti jedu. Vědecké jméno je odvozeno z řeckých slov ammos a dytes ("písek" a "norník"). Není to právě nejvýstižnější jméno pro hada, který dává přednost skalnatému prostředí.

Popis
Dorůstá až do délky 95 cm, většina jedinců však nepřesahuje 85 cm. Maximální délka také závisí na rase, přičemž severní poddruhy jsou zřetelně větší než jižní. Podle Strugaria (2006) činí průměrná délka 50–70 cm, nicméně byli spatřeni jedinci delší než 1 m. Samice jsou obvykle větší a robustnější, i když nejdelší zaznamenaní jedinci jsou samci.

Ekologie a chování
Jde o hada s denní aktivitou. Preferuje suchá stanoviště, především křovinaté oblasti, okraje lesů, slunné kamenité svahy hor, travnatá území, opuštěné zahrady a kamenné zdi. Živí se malými savci, plazy (ještěrkami, jinými hady včetně zástupců vlastního druhu), ptáky a mladí jedinci i většími členovci (stonožkami). Hibernuje po dobu dvou až šesti měsíců v závislosti na klimatických podmínkách. K páření dochází na jaře a koncem léta až začátkem podzimu rodí samice jedno až dvacet mláďat.

V některých oblastech žije sympatricky se zmijí skvrnitou a zmijí obecnou, s níž se, velmi vzácně, kříží.

Jed, nebezpečnost
Jed zmije růžkaté je poměrně silný, LD50 dosahuje zhruba 0,48 mg/kg. Had disponuje větší zásobou jedu než například zmije obecná. Chová se však obvykle neútočně a pokud není silně provokován, většinou neuštkne. Nicméně nebezpečí uštknutí nelze podceňovat, a to především od samců na jaře.

Blurb: "The Frames were only a realization of the ultimate form of escape. Books, films, sensors, complete total experience - and finally the Frames. The saviors of civilization had shown the way: move the tribes of Americans to Europe, the tribes of the Germans to Spain, the tribes of the English to Switzerland and permutate the combinations endlessly. Use trains, then aircraft, then spaceships.
The Frames of the Thirtieth Century were a logical extension of the Mechanical Age's exploitation of the means of mass travel. Now, whole populations moved to new areas of experience. New worlds - new re-created worlds - were manufactured for them. And it had all begun on Talisker. But whatever had left the monstrous scenery on Talisker's desert had not begun anywhere in our universe."

CIO vice chair dives into role
By Sara Michael
"Matthews leads DOT's IT consolidation push"
As the newly-appointed vice chairman of the federal Chief Information Officers Council, Daniel Matthews believes his operating and commercial experience will help him get some serious work done.
Matthews, Transportation Department's CIO, said he's focused on finishing the first 24 e-government initiatives conceived by the Quicksilver interagency task force a couple of years ago, and looking at other governmentwide architecture issues in the coming year.
"Certainly we need to get these Quicksilver initiatives implemented," he said.
Matthews was named vice chair in November, replacing Karen Evans, who became the council's director in September when she was appointed the Office of Management and Budget's administrator for e-government and information technology. Matthews has been DOT's CIO since March.
"I'm coming with experience with a federal department that has operating agencies," he said. "I'm bringing knowledge of how we have to work together... so the federal architecture will be meaningful. I think it will be useful."
Matthews also has more than 30 years of IT experience under his belt, most recently as senior vice president at Savantage Financial Services Inc., and previously as a vice president at Lockheed Martin Corp. This allows him to have a better understanding of the commercial side and its interest in the CIO Council's efforts, he said.
Bob Woods, chairman of the Industry Advisory Council, said Matthews' diverse experience will help him understand his new role and just what he's up against. Transportation is an operationally-focused department, Woods said, with little room for mistakes. Matthews will bring a similar point of view to the council.
"If you let the council get too policy-oriented, I think it loses something," he said. "A lot of the government is operational in nature. Somebody needs to keep some balance in there. He brings some perspective."
Matthews said he also has plans to strengthen the relationship between the CIO Council and other federal councils, such as the Chief Financial Officer's Council and the Federal Acquisition Council.
"It's a matter of putting our attention to it, and probably assigning responsibility within our organization to work with those councils," he said. "Right now I would place it as ad hoc at best."
The role of the council has evolved since its establishment with the Clinger Cohen Act in 1996. Its origin was rooted in sorting through legislation, Matthews said, with OMB taking on more of a leadership role. Now, however, the onus is on the CIOs.
"OMB [officials] set an agenda that implemented the president's management agenda. Now those projects are to be implemented and it's really up the CIOs to do that," he said. Now officials at "the CIO Council and OMB are looking for the next step to work together, and that's on the architecture side."

Alaska has more coastline than all the contiguous states combined. These marine areas support robust fisheries that feed people around the world. Alaska wild salmon fisheries can only thrive when the oceans where they live part of their lives stay healthy. Alaska marine waters provide a home to unique northern animals as well, such as beluga whales, walrus, ringed seals, and polar bears. They provide essential subsistence resources for Alaska Native people. Overfishing, habitat decline, oil spills, boat traffic, mining, and oil and gas drilling threaten these marine areas.

Ilikai 1318 - Stayed in condo 1318 with my husband, 21yo daughter and 18yo son and it was absolutely fantastic! Couldn't fault it. Was great that the kids had a bed each and that there were 2 bathrooms. Best views in Waikiki of the Hilton Lagoon and the ocean. Could even watch the Hilton Luau from our lanai of an evening! Everything you needed was there. Was clean and tidy. Close to shops and about a 15 minute walk to the centre of Waikiki. Would absolutely stay there again without hesitation.
Ilikai 1318 - My family had a great stay in unit 1318. The unit was clean and had everything provided that was in the listing. We loved the open views of the lagoon, marina & could see the luau show across the street in the evenings. The late checkout was much appreciated as we could enjoy an extra day before our late flight. Ilikai valet parking was convenient and easy. Many of the valets were very helpful in giving us directions and tips on places to go. Staying here was definitely one of the best decisions we made to make our vacation truly memorable.
Ilikai 1318 - Lovely unit enjoyed our stay. Look forward to staying again soon.
Ilikai 1318 - Great room with a beautiful view at the quietier end of Waikiki - we loved our stay in Hawaii and will definitely return one day. Really great size rooms.
We had a wonderful stay in this Ilikai unit 1318, location, location, location, everything within walking distance and the view was spectacular....we even had front row seats (so to speak) for the Hilton Luau and Fireworks on Friday night.....we only stayed for 6 nights and wished we had a booked for longer. the condo was clean and had everything you would need for a great holiday.....will stay there again next visit if available. As for the Ilkai Condos the reception area was well manned and very helpful, the parking guys were polite and very helpful....the bar and grill on the ground floor was very nice.....perfect area and lovely people....love Hawaii. Thankyou to the owner for such a lovely condo and wonderful stay.
We enjoyed our stay in condo 1318 from Dec 19-23, 2013. It was perfect for our family! The door key code was very easy to use. The unit has everything in the kitchen for cooking. The A/C worked great (must keep the door closed). The beds were comfortable and so was the couch bed. The TV's were all VERY nice, large and made it easy to relax in all the rooms. The LANAI was awesome!! The largest I have seen in this building. The laundry was very convenient as well as the trash area. The store was in the main lobby and stays open until 11pm which was great for getting milk or anything we needed. We would very happily stay here again!
We had the pleasure of staying in room 1318 from 07/25-07/30/2013 and i must say this was the best decision ever. We walked into a well kept living area with a BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean and Lagoon. This room had a Jacuzzi tub, 2 showers and a ALL Black kitchen. We purchased groceries and cooked breakfast and dinner. To sit on the balcony and eat breakfast and sunrise and see the ocean put a smile on my face everyday. We will return next year and use 1318 again. I do not want any other room.
We loved our stay in condo 1318. The views are just magnificent, the salt water pool ideal for us and we loved to walk to the lagoon and beach on the walkway. We travelled with our son, daughter-in-law and 6 year old grand daughter and everything inside the unit was perfect for us.
Our room and condo could not have been more perfect and we had a wonderful stay meeting our adopted grandson. The location was a real plus and both units were clean and modern. I would not hesitate recommending the units to anyone who asks.

Wide angle and ultra-wide angle lenses of professional quality are gladly used especially by landscape and architectural photographers to be able to cover as large a subject range as possible. However, due to their specific design, these lenses require significantly wider square filters.
The Rollei Long Exposure Square Filter Set for 150-mm lenses was put together especially for the following professional lenses, which are particularly popular with landscape and architectural photographers: The three filters, which measure 150 x 150-mm in width, are perfectly compatible with Nikon 14 – 24-mm, Canon 14-mm, Tamron 15 – 30-mm, Sigma 20-mm, Olympus 14-mm, Phase One 28-mm and Sony 12 – 24-mm lenses. With the following strengths: ND8 (3 stops, 0.9), ND64 (6 stops, 1.8) and ND1000 (10 stops, 3.0) you cover the entire bandwidth of creative long exposures, from smoothing rough water surfaces to atmospheric blurring of cloud formations at sunrise or sunset or all the way to the complete elimination of humans, animals and vehicles from architecture, city or nature photographs. Naturally, the filters can be combined with one another and also with all other 150-mm-wide gradient filters to further enhance the effect of the image. The use of a stable tripod is recommended in filter photography.
All three square filters of the long exposure set consist of almost indestructible Gorilla Glass®* made by the American specialist manufacturer, Corning Inc., which sparkles with an extremely high degree of light transmission and completely rules out visual distortions. The high-quality filter glasses are also finished with the Luminance Coating developed exclusively by Rollei, in order to ensure the highest possible degree of colour fidelity with the most minor reflections and to increase scratch resistance even further. In order to meet the requirements of Rollei customers without restrictions at any time, the filters in this long exposure set must also be subject to the criteria of the Rollei "Engineered and Quality-controlled in Germany" quality assurance strategy. The testing guidelines are unprecedented even in the premium photography segment and guarantee fitness for use even under the most adverse environmental conditions.

100 Naked Women Have a Message for Donald Trump
"Whenever women come together, there's a certain power in that."
Note: The art images below contain nudity.
CLEVELAND—One hundred naked people gathering in private at a conservative political convention is a scandal or a party or both. At the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, more than 100 women shed their clothes for another purpose: a psychic demonstration.
Spencer Tunick, a photographer who uses the public sphere and the unclothed masses to make his work, assembled dozens of women for a protest artwork in Cleveland on Sunday. This piece was an unusual one, because the work came together on private property. The artist tends to denude public spaces by crowding city streets, hill tops, and seasides with naked figures of all shapes, sizes, and color.
Sunday's piece, Everything She Says Means Everything, is also peculiar in that the artist meant for something greater than art to happen. Tunick brought together these women in order to "shine some female progressive energy on the convention center," as he explains in an email.

"Over 1,600 brave women have signed up," Tunick says. "This high number alone sends a strong message that these people are willing to go beyond their limits to shout out with their bodies and make their voices heard through visual art."
The piece took place at a private residence on the west bank of the Flats, a neighborhood just across the Cuyahoga River from the Quicken Loans Arena, where the Republican National Convention is taking place. For Tunick's photo, the women held up mirrors in the direction of "The Q" to channel a message directly to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
"The pessimistic side of me thinks that Donald Trump, in particular, is pretty deaf when it comes to any issue outside of himself," says Darlene English, a Cleveland resident who disrobed for Tunick's protest project. "My hope is that everyone will see that women are powerful. Their opinions matter. Their decisions matter."

The women's reasons for being there were as varied as their appearances in the photo. English says that the project's value is that it showed how women of diverse backgrounds are singularly women. There were about 130 women involved with the project altogether, she says. Tunick shot photos of two groups of women: one of a crowd of 100, one of a much smaller crowd of 25.
Christine McIntosh, another Cleveland resident who joined Tunick's project, says that she rejects efforts by men to restrict the autonomy of women, and that her participation in this art project reflected this. She participated in the smaller shoot. Tunick's photographs usually afford their subjects anonymity by massing many bodies together in one place. But in a photograph with two dozen other naked women, McIntosh can pick herself out of the lineup, she says.
"I think in hindsight it makes me more nervous, but yesterday morning, I didn't feel that way at all," McIntosh says. "It's very empowering to look around and see women … just getting together and uniting for one powerful message."
In the end, the women had not one message to tell the Republican Party—and the world—but rather many.
"Everyone had a different reason to be there," English says. "People talked about surviving abuses to their body. They wanted to make a statement, that they owned it, not the people doing the abuses. Whenever women come together, there's a certain power in that."

D is for Destai, metal weaver extreme.
From Vulgar Latin *deexcitāre, present active infinitive of *deexcitō, derived from Latin excitō ("I call forth", "I rouse").
More simply, it means "I have awoken".
I thought it was appropriate; I had recently awoken to my destiny as a creative person, and accepted that it's part of my soul rather than just a hobby.
Chainmaille is only one expression of my creativity. But for the time being it's the most visible one. This is also why I use Destai as an umbrella name for all my creative endeavours. Although I may present them differently to the world, Victoria Stedje – Wordsmith is technically Destai Media, and Protean Sol is Destai Music.
Those who know me well will understand why it's a perfect name for me. Awakening, from Latin, and pleasing pronunciation and word style all in one? Sign me up!
