Bangor High hosting Class of '19 Project Grad fundraiser tomorrow
Posted: Fri 9:02 AM, Sep 21, 2018
BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Bangor High School seniors Ford Smiley and Nick Boudreau stopped by the TV5 studio this morning to talk about tomorrow's Ford Drive 4 UR School fundraiser.
The event takes place tomorrow at Bangor High School from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and benefits the Bangor High School Class of 2019 Project Graduation.
Darling's Ford and Bangor High School are partnering to help raise up to $6,000 in support of the Bangor High's Project Graduation. This is not a sales event - come join us for a car wash, car show, concessions, carnival games, the Darling's Photo Booth, and Darling's Ice Cream for a Cause truck.
Members of the Bangor-area community will have the opportunity to raise money for Bangor High by test driving a Ford vehicle, as part of the Ford Drive 4 UR School program.
For every person who test-drives a new Ford vehicle at this one-day event, Ford Motor Company and Darling's Ford will donate $20, up to $6,000, to be distributed to Bangor High School's Project Graduation.
NOTES: Each test-drive will last approximately 7 - 10 minutes.
Drive 4 UR School participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver's license. Limit one test-drive per household.

Do you use a travel agent when you book a cruise? If yes, why? Do you get a better price, more perks, more on board credits or just want someone to intercede for you if a problem develops?
When we first started cruising, we booked directly with the cruise line. Now we always book through a travel agent. She sometimes gets us a better deal, a better cabin for the same price and gives us more on board credit than offered by the cruise line. She also gives us a bottle or more of wine depending on the length of the cruise. Sometimes we get free shore excursions or dinner for two in one or more specialty restaurants. The longer the cruise, naturally the better the perks. She also knows what we like and makes suggestions accordingly. For example, she knows that I want to cruise on the Oasis when the ship moves to our local port. She found a good deal on a particular sailing and sent us an email. She also makes calls on our behalf to the cruise line for answers to our questions saving us wait time on the phone. Not only that but she is always available for calls or emails even on Christmas Eve or other holidays. She always answers us right away even when she is on a cruise. We couldn't ask for better service. There is no extra charge for us to use her services.
Always use a qualified agent. I have mentioned before that our first cruise was made an even better experience because of the agent we used. She knows us personally and made sure we knew all information that we needed before we left. I have used the agent at NCL for a short cruise to Bermuda, We had our own itinerary planned before we left and experience no trouble.
We have mentioned it before on this site. Always use an agent. There is never an extra charge and often go above in exceeding expectations.
I think travel professionals can be invaluable. We have booked a couple cruises through one and she has already found us $1200 in savings because of a new campaign. We never would have picked that up on our own. She does it automatically.
We also found her very helpful when we booked a land-sea combo trip with B2B cruises. It was all very confusing to look at on a website, but she made it extremely easy and I have full confidence that things are going to be just perfect.
For simple, straightforward bookings, we are DIY kinda folk.
When I started to cruise I used a TA, back in those days the internet was not around. I used the TA that my parents had used for the last 20 years. I then started to use an internet based company as I got better prices. I was mostly doing the Mexico cruises that I had done before since in those years I was working and only took a week off at a time.
When I was planning my month long European land see vacation I tried a couple of TA's but was able to get better prices and land locations on my own. Sure it took days to research what part of Rome to stay and in and what hotel (I wanted American style, sure European style hotels have charm, but at 3 AM walking down a common hall to a common bathroom is not my idea of charm. I want on on-suite bath). I am semi-retired and have the time to do the research. My choice was good enough that I spent a couple weeks in the same hotel the next year.
When I booked in London I used a booking service (Londontown) for the hotel that was very helpful, they got me in a reasonable hotel (for less then I had found on the net) that was just 2 blocks off of the tube line that ran from Heathrow (non stop, non transfer), told me of the Oister card and sent a book of what to see in London and how, get around and a 1 hour river cruise.
For Cruises I like using Vacationstogo.com. I have worked with a few people there and have found one that is great to work with and gets me extra perks. I still do my own air and hotel, so I kind of piece the trip together. I enjoy the research on line and learn a lot about the places to go and see.
Thanks everyone for replying. I enjoyed reading all your comments. We have plenty of seasoned cruisers on this site and I value all your opinions. We learn a lot from each other. It makes the site fun, too.
I am using a TA for the first time on my upcoming trip. I really have no complaints about their service, however I feel like I have no control over the reservation.
Perhaps when I move closer to his location in about 4 years, I may reconsider, however for now I will make my own bookings.
I feel like I have no control over the reservation.
As soon as I have the cruise line's confirmation number, I go to the website and start planning excursions, beverage packages, and other extras. This helps me feel much more in control of the booking.
I do it both ways, due to we almost always book last minute. Depends on who,offering the best perks.
We used to. Now, with our medical and needing a handicap cabin, I book over the phone, while I am online. Although, I do recommend a TA over a Carnival PVP.
When I call the TA I tell her which cabins we are considering. I ask if she can find a better price with a promo that we don't know about. She knows what we want. It is not what she would book but she understands that. She calls us back after she puts a hold on a cabin at a particular price. We say yes or no. I never feel that I have lost control. I am only annoyed when a cruise line then only wants to deal with her. So she calls the cruise line and gives permission for them to deal with me.
14 cruisers are following this discussion.


Where the technology has changed the standards of living and provided us the immense of relief and convenience, still there are several spheres of concern about. We are surviving in the era where the technology has boomed itself to the utmost zenith. Likewise, such technologies have also revolutionized the working manner of giant business tycoons and their industries. The usage of versatile software has reduced the human efforts 100 times lesser than before. The bulk of data can be protectively kept hidden in secured software protocols.
But here, one thing of concern is that are these numerous datasets really safe and protected from all kind of malware and hackings. The trash of opened files in word formats on our drives and email accounts are safe enough from thrifting sights?
Knockout the drains of your mind now, and see the ongoing of your organization that isn't it facing the same circumstances of security and management. Most probably, it is the right time to merge with an IT security and management protocol that will ultimately assist you to systematize the lifecycle of your valuable documented assets. Such software is not only developed to keep your documents in privacy but is proficient to manage them in low operating costs. It further helps an organization to provide such solutions which are effective enough to organize the company's ongoing operations and other documents with the regulatory authorities. These all well-optimized and managed documentation come to a fruitful experience when it impacts the businesses while audits, providing the frequent evidence of company's profile.
Let's see what could happen if you ignore the worth of well-managed documentation and ERP modules. It not only leads to financial losses for the company but also the losses of trust-worthy clients. Moreover, it may result in closing the communicating doors that were ready to entertain you earlier. Another approach related to this concern leads to greater number of documentation with the passage of time that may later appear as a hectic to search for certain documents and visualize the entire ongoing structure. So at that moment, it can never be the solution to check out the entire documentation in emails or other drafts. Therefore, it is needed to have a competent IT secured and management system that saves your organization from such mishaps.
The Comstar ISA web-based IT solutions and Management Software provides the perfect solution to dominate each and every aspect of documents' lifecycle including all the necessary information regarding its expiration, activities and other communicative perspectives.

Q: Jquery - get the name of an array item in an array How do you reference the name of an array within an array?
var jon_count = [0,6,7,9]
var sue_count = [9,7,6,8]
var rob_count = [7,8,6,3]
var name_list = {jon_count, sue_count, rob_count}

I'm trying to get the name of each variable within the "name_list" not the values of each item.
$.each(name_list, function (index, value) {
    $.each(value, function(ind, obj) {
       console.log(value[ind]);
    });
});

I know that's garbage, I want to see:

jon_countsue_countrob_count

But I keep getting the numbers.

A: You can just use the index variable:
$.each(name_list, function (index, value) {
  alert(index);
});

Here is a fiddle.

A: i think you need this:
var name_list = {jon_count:"item 1", sue_count:"item 2", rob_count:"item 3"}
var keys = Object.keys(name_list)
keys.forEach((item) => {
  console.log(item)
})

Novak Djokovic's heartwarming tribute to Aussie Australian Open winner Dylan Alcott.
Jessica Chambers
Content Producer
Saturday was a momentous occasion for Aussie wheelchair tennis champion Dylan Alcott, who Novak Djokovic said he counts as an "inspiration".
Not because he won the Australian Open men's quad wheelchair singles final – he'd done that already four times, in a row.
It's because this year it was the first time the 28-year-old's Australian Open win could be seen by thousands of Australians sitting at-home. The 2019 tournament was the first to have any of the wheelchair tennis matches televised.
And perhaps that's why one of Australia's greatest athletes perhaps still needs an introduction for some.
The five-time Australian Open winner has represented Australia in both wheelchair tennis and basketball, winning gold medals in the men's quad singles and doubles at the 2016 Rio Olympics. He's also been awarded an Order of Australia Medal and works as a Triple J radio presenter on the side.

The disability advocate was overcome with emotion after his 6-4, 7-6 win over number two seed and long-time rival, American David Wagner, on Saturday afternoon.
"Today was a really special day," he said, wiping away tears.
"I remember when I was 14 years old, I was lying in bed and all I wanted to do was make it in the mainstream in some way. I wanted to show that people with a disability can be elite at what they do.
"I wanted to show them that they can be normal people, get a job, work, have fun, have a partner — do all the things people take for granted. I just wanted to see people with a disability succeeding in the mainstream and in the media.
"Today, because of the Australian Open and the Wide World of Sports, it was broadcast into every single TV in Australia."
Alcott, who runs the Dylan Alcott Foundation to support young people with disabilities to achieve their goals, explained why that was so important.
"That meant a lot to me and it meant a lot to the 4.5 million people in Australia and to the 1.4 billion people around the world with a disability, it really did," he said.
"I hope this is just the start and we can keep going. It's been great for me but I hope it can be great for a lot more people than just me and I really appreciate every single one of you in this stadium today. It's unbelievable, this crowd."
Djokovic's tribute to Alcott
The Melbourne man was also thrilled when, before his win over Rafael Nadal, fellow world number one Novak Djokovic mentioned his "inspiring" win.
"I've said it before, these guys are heroes to me," the Australian Open winner said ahead of the match.
"They make the game of tennis even more beautiful and more unique because of what they do and how they do it.
"They turn their handicap into something that inspires a lot of people, including myself."
Alcott said that he was touched by Djokovic's words, Seven News reports.
"For him to say that but also care about the results, they care about what we're doing now," he said.
"The public cares about what we're doing now. It's because we're elite sportsmen first and foremost. I'm elite, I just happen to be in a wheelchair.
"They see that now, the public sees that now and that's what I believe in. We can be good at whatever we do, no matter your difference or your disability."

Q: Register all tags ending with a postfix as inline-grid using Css or Js I have some custom tags as follows:

<form>
    <form-wrap></form-wrap>
</form>

... and so on. Imagine I add another custom tag of the same order such as header-wrap. I would require to register it again using web components. Css as far as I have read has no way of picking up tag names except by declaring them explicitly.
How can I declare the custom tags ending in -wrap as being inline-grid elements universally?

A: You could add classes to the elements. It is trivial to select the *-wrap classes then.
This setup is fairly simple and will keep working if the dom changes (e.g. elements are inserted).

[class$=-wrap] {
    display: inline-grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
}

<form>
    <form-wrap class=form-wrap>

grid cell 1

grid cell 2

    </form-wrap>
</form>

Roger's Snowbike Rentals is located in beautiful Breckenridge, CO. We specialize in providing all types of people with on-mountain experiences at Breckenridge, Copper, and Vail, and Beavercreek.
Easy to turn, stop, and load the chairlift. Rent this bike if this is your first time.
High performance. Rent this bike for advanced riding.
Snowbiking was so fun! It was definitely not as terrifying as it looks. Roger's was so convenient and the customer service was awesome. Thomas was so friendly and helpful. He did a great job explains how it all worked. He also came to the slopes and did a few runs with us to make sure we felt comfortable. It was a great, fun day! I can't wait to do it again!
Snowbiking is a great alternative if you're looking to take a break from your skis or want something that the whole family can do together! It's extremely easy to learn and Justin did a great job getting us all set up and on our way. I have arthritis and this is definitely something you can take at your own pace which makes it an activity for everyone. We had an absolute ball and can't recommend Roger's Snowbike Rentals enough!
Tom was our instructor. He was incredibly patient and helpful with us. He was able to instruct us as to how to make our experience more enjoyable. He gave us confidence to go on even after we had issues on the chairlift. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher and experience!!
I rented a snowbike from Roger's for 7 days and had an excellent time. Dealing with this small, family-oriented business was truly a pleasure. They showed a genuine interest in making me as happy as possible. The equipment was first grade and Justin was a pleasure to deal with. The lesson covered everything I needed to know to get started and off on my own within 30 minutes. I will rent from them again in the future!

A custom data type (CDT) is a designer-defined data structure that represents a logical grouping of related data, such as Employee and Contract. CDTs can be used to read from and write to a database table, to store information within a process, or to define inputs or outputs of a web service or Appian plug-in.
All CDTs can be downloaded and imported as XML Schema Definition (XSD) files. For information about XSDs, see the Supported XSD Elements and JPA Annotations page.
The life cycle of a CDT depends on where the authoritative data structure for your application is designed. See the diagram below for a high-level overview of the most common data type life cycle patterns.
The table below describes the properties for data types.
Name Names must start with a letter or an underscore, and may contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, periods, and underscores, e.g., COB_Customer. Used in the UUID to uniquely identify the data type across environments and in object references, and therefore must not be changed.
Namespace Formatted as a URI, e.g., urn:com:appian:types:COB Used in the UUID to uniquely identify the data type across environments and in object references, and therefore must not be changed.
Makes the data type available for use by other objects, e.g. pickers, process variables, etc.
Data types created from WSDL are hidden by default.
Controlled by the Available for selection in data type pickers checkbox in the Data Type Properties dialog.
Field Types Fields can be of the following types: primitive, custom. Other Appian types are not available.
Note: When using multiple application servers, the data type visibility is only updated in the cache of the application server you are logged into. The cache of any other application server is updated upon the next restart. To avoid restarting your application servers, log into each application server individually as this updates the data type visibility in each application server's cache.
Create from scratch: Use this option to create a completely new data type and configure it using the data type designer. If the CDT will be used to read data from or write data to a database table, Appian can generate the database table for you.
Duplicate existing data type: Use this option when you need to make a CDT that is similar to another CDT. All existing configuraitons on the original CDT, including any JPA annotations, will be duplicated. For example, if the original data type is mapping to a database table called Employee using the @Table annotation, the new data type will also map to the Employee table. If the CDT will be used to read data from or write data to a database table, Appian can generate the database table for you.
Create from database table or view: Use this option when you have an existing table or view in the database and need to create a CDT in order to read from and write to that table within Appian. A CDT will be created for you with all the configurations necessary to automatically map to that table.
Import XSD: Use this option if you already have an XSD file that defines your CDT. You may also create or edit multiple data types at once by importing a single XSD file that contains multiple data type definitions. If the CDT will be used to read data from or write data to a database table, Appian can generate the database table for you.
CDTs are identified by their combined name and namespace. When creating new data types from scratch, an existing CDT (duplicating), or a database table, the name and namespace must be unique. If you create a CDT by importing an XSD file or through a WSDL or Appian plug-in, the name and namespace do not have to be unique. This allows you to update existing CDTs in the system through these methods without having to delete them first.
Note: If you think that you could be accidentally replacing a deleted data type by using the same name and namespace, run impact analysis on the data type after creation to see if any objects depend on a previously deleted data type with the same name and namespace.
Custom data types are edited in different ways based on how they were created, how they are configured, and what they are used for. The following table links to reference information for each scenario.
Imported with multiple types from an XSD After making the desired edits in the XSD file, navigate to the application. From there, click "New", then "Import XSD."
Use the Dependents view to determine the locations where the data type is used. Assess the impact of your changes on the related interfaces, process models, expressions, and other design objects.
If the data type is used in a production system, consider any issues with backwards compatibility. The easiest way to do this is to only add fields and not change or remove existing fields.
If the data type is mapped to an RDBMS through a data store, update the associated RDBMS object to reflect the data type change or check the Automatically update database schema box on the data store's designer page.
The name and namespace of the data type cannot be changed as they form the data type's universally unique identifier (UUID). Deleted types can be replaced from the application when creating a type from scratch or duplicating an existing type.
After updating the data type, a new version is created unless the only change is to the data type description or its visibility in data type pickers. When a new version of a data type is created, all objects (excluding running processes) immediately begin using the new version of the data type.
Deploying a new version of a plug-in data type will only replace the existing active data type if the plug-in version number is greater than the currently deployed plug-in version.
Back-end data type updates (importing an XSD in a patch or application and updating data types through an Appian plug-in) provide logs detailing the effect on dependent data stores, rather than a warning dialog.
If a deleted data type is updated by creating a new data type with the same name and namespace, you will NOT receive a warning about dependent data stores. The data store will immediately begin using the new data type structure, but the underlying database schema will not be automatically updated (even if the Automatically update database schema option is enabled).
When a data type is deleted, it is retained in the system so that objects can continue to function correctly even if referenced data types are deleted. Deleted types, however, will no longer appear in the Appian Designer or as choices in type pickers.
Upon deleting a data type, references to that data type will have a version number appended in the form of a caret (^) + version number. For example: myCDT^1, myCDT^2.
Objects that use a deleted data type can be exported and on import, will attempt to reference the most recent version of the data type. If the most recent version of the data type is deleted, import of the dependent object will still succeed. If no data type exists on the destination environment, import of the dependent object will fail.
Appian recommends that you use the Outdated Type References Metrics Log to find all objects that reference deleted data types and remove those references.
There are some configurations for CDTs that cannot be accessed through the data type designer. If you need to modify those configurations, you can download the XSD for the data type and re-import it to create a new version of the data type.
Once you have made the necessary changes to the file, click Create New Version from XSD in the settings menu and upload the new version of the XSD.
When deploying data type edits to a production environment, all design objects will be updated to use the latest version of the data type when it is imported. Dependents of data types only need to be included in the import package if you have made changes to their definitions.
When a package containing data types is imported, only data types that have been changed or depend on a data type that has been changed will be updated.
Variables of simple custom types that extend other simple custom types can be saved into each other because they both extend from a simple system type (like Text).
Variables of custom types that extend other custom types often cannot be successfully used to save data into each other, because of the mismatch of fields. At runtime, any fields of a derived data type that are not present in the parent data type cannot be mapped. If the parent data type is an abstract custom type with no fields, no data can be saved into it. Therefore, it is best to avoid abstract data types and extending data types.
A data type does not have individual security settings. Only users in the designer role can perform any action on a data type.
When a process variable of a data type is updated, the whole data type value is written to process history. Process history does not highlight which fields changed.
The typename of a custom type is the name as defined in the XSD that was used to create it. When a variable is marked as a multiple, ?list is appended to the typename to indicate that it holds multiple values. This is different than system data types which have a typename of the form List of <the type> when they are multiple. Be aware of this when using the typename() expression function with data types.

Semrock, a division of IDEX Health & Science, LCC, the global authority in fluidics and optics for the life sciences market, introduces their new Multiphoton LaserMUX beam combiners that enable deeper tissue imaging and improved contrast in multi-color and multi-modal fluorescence microscopy. The filters set new performance standards by simultaneously achieving high transmission, high reflection, and low GDD over both reflection & transmission, while maintaining minimal wavefront distortion. Ideal for combining two femtosecond pulsed laser beams, they are perfect for optogenetics and other life science applications.
"These beam combining filters allow users to achieve higher transmission and reflection levels over an expanded wavelength range, with wavefront performance that is optimized for deep tissue and in vivo imaging" says Prashant Prabhat, PhD, Semrock's Catalog Business Line Leader.

CIARA Showed Off Her TWO WEDDING RINGS At Last Night's ESPYS . . . We've Got PICS Of The Beautiful Couple . . . Who STOLE THE SHOW!!
Future wouldn't give Ciara a ring . . . but her new husband Russell Wilson GAVE HER TWO. R&B superstar Ciara showed off her rings at last nights ESPY Awards, and wow they're impressive. It was their public debut as a married couple.
Each ring has 24 FLAWLESS diamonds, of the highest quality. We're told that EACH ring cost $250K. And the engagement ring was $5 MILLION.
Russell and Ciara tied the knot at a black tie affair in an English countryside castle last week.


This is the word of the LORD which He spoke to Jehu, saying, "Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel." And so it was.
So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And because he had no son, Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.

Q: Adding Subitem to a listview in Android I currently have a listview which contains a couple of strings. These are called from a string array in strings.xml
<string name="app_name">Taxi Me</string>
<string-array name="taxi_array">
    <item>Barrys Taxi</item>
    <item>Boom Taxi</item>

</string-array>

What I was trying to do is create subitems for these so that i can show fields such as address and contact details etc. I made a customlistview a while back but cant work out how I can do it using the strings.xml file? Are there any particular tags I need to use so they show up in the list view?
Main Activity Code:
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    final String[] taxi = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.taxi_array);
    final String[] address = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.taxi_add);

    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.listtaxi, taxi));

    final ListView lv = getListView();
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

    for (int i = 0; i < taxi.length; i++) {
        lv.add(new ListTaxi (taxi[i], address[i]));
    }

 /*lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
      public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
          int position, long id) {
        // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(),
            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
      }
    });
   */
        lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> a, View v, final int position, long id)
       {
            final int selectedPosition = position;
            AlertDialog.Builder adb=new AlertDialog.Builder(ListTaxi.this);
             adb.setTitle("Taxi Booking");
             adb.setMessage("You Have Selected: "+lv.getItemAtPosition(position));
             adb.setPositiveButton("Book", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                     Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Booking.class);
                     intent.putExtra("booking",  taxi[selectedPosition]);
                     startActivity(intent);
                 }
             });
             adb.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null);
             adb.show();
         }
     });

        }

        setListAdapter(new TaxiAdapter(this, R.layout.taxi_list_item, taxiList));
    }
}

_____END EDIT_______
You'd probably be better off using a database for something like this, to keep the records tied together. If you're set on using arrays, one thing you could do is make a separate array for each item you need (e.g. taxi_array, taxi_address_array, taxi_phone_array) then make a Taxi object in your code:
class Taxi {
    String taxiName;
    String taxiAddress;
    String taxiPhone;

    public Taxi(String name, String address, String phone) {
        taxiName = name;
        taxiAddress = address;
        taxiPhone = phone;
    }
}

private List<Taxi> taxiList;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    String[] taxiNames = getResources().getStringArray("taxi_array");
    String[] taxiAddresses = getResources().getStringArray("taxi_address_array");
    String[] taxiPhones = getResources().getStringArray("taxi_phone_array");
    taxiList = new ArrayList<Taxi>();

    for (int i = 0; i < taxiNames.length; i++) {
        taxiList.add(new Taxi(taxiNames[i], taxiAddresses[i], taxiPhones[i]));
    }
}

(This is uncompiled code, some tweaks may be needed) But then you'll have a List of Taxi items, containing all of the compiled information from the different arrays. A database would still be a much better option (or even a CSV file with the data, in your assets).

A: I had same problem and I solved myself like this:
you can simply add subitem like this code and you don't need so much coding!!
    <string name="app_name">Taxi Me</string>
    <string-array name="taxi_array">
<item>
     <item>Barrys Taxi</item>
     <item>adress</item>
     <item>contact</item>
     <item>ANY THING...</item>
</item>

<item>
     <item>Boom Taxi</item>
     <item>adress</item>
     <item>contact</item>
     <item>ANY THING...</item>
</item>
    </string-array>

We purchased our new building at 200 W. Dundee Road in April 2013 and remodeled it over the summer. Our dedication was held on August 18, 2013, in a joyous event attended by hundreds of members, friends, and honored guests, including Congressman Brad Schneider, Illinois State Representative Elaine Nekritz, Village of Wheeling President Dean S. Argiris, and other local officials, along with representatives from a number of area synagogues and Jewish organizations. Close to 300 Shir Hadash members and guests gathered to celebrate the opening of the synagogue's first building, more than 18 years after a small group of families founded the congregation.

Our sanctuary was designed by synagogue member and architect Mehran Farahmandpour and draws much of its inspiration from Jewish tradition and history. "The overall design idea was to represent our current view of the Torah while emphasizing our roots in Israel, our people and our traditions, hence a relatively simple and contemporary design using traditional materials such as wood and Jerusalem stone," he said.
Not only is the bima (stage) wheelchair accessible, but the ark was designed so that somebody in a wheelchair can roll right up to it and take out a Torah without assistance.
In 2014, Shir Hadash commissioned a 117,000 watt solar panel system. The solar system has reduced the Synagogue's carbon dioxide emission by nearly 106 tons a year, which is the equivalent of planting more than 4,200 trees each year. In the next 25 years, the energy saved will be the equivalent of planting 108,976 trees or reducing automobile use by over 4 million miles. The system will save Shir Hadash more than $20,000 per year in energy costs, and will pay for itself in about seven and a half years.
The Synagogue was awarded a grant of $240,000 by the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (ICECF) to help fund the project. The ICECF was formed in 1999 as an independent foundation endowed by Commonwealth Edison. Its goal is to improve energy efficiency, advance the development and use of renewable energy resources, and protect natural areas and wildlife habitat in communities all across Illinois.
The solar array was installed on the roof of the synagogue. The building's flat commercial roofs had large open spaces that were well-suited for this type and size of array. Three hundred and sixty American made, Solar World 325 watt panels were placed in service using Panel Claw ballasted roof racking. Five 5-SMA 20kW TL inverters are converting the DC power produced by the array into AC for use in the building. Shir Hadash worked with WindFree Solar on this project. The system includes a gateway web-based monitoring system.

Come and discover the French pavilion at the VIV Middle East and Africa exhibition! United Arab Emirates - February 2018
Rejula ARUN - 28-janv.-2018 13:10:20
United Arab Emirates- Business France, the national agency supporting the international development of the French economy, will be running a French pavilion at VIV Middle East Africa, which takes place in Abu Dhabi on February 5-7. This trade fair devoted to livestock will feature almost 20 French companies, all eager to present their latest offerings and know-how. Thanks to the genetic quality of its livestock and the strength of its livestock industry, France is a major breeder and a leader in the European Union for its productivity, value-added products and the global distribution of its exceptionally diverse range of breeds, meats and dairy products (included the 1 000 different cheeses). France is also one of the world's leading producers of milk and meat thanks to the vitality of its livestock which contribute to name France as an international excellence and reference in this industry. This regional exhibition, whom the first edition was held in 2016, became a major event in the country gathering every poultry and cattle sector's players from upstream to downstream. This biennial event allows the connection between more than 270 international exhibitors and a high quality trade show's visitors, with more than 6 000 visitors expected. Some of the latest French products and innovations will be presented at the French pavilion, which will cover a surface area of 248m² across halls 6 and 7.

France's livestock industry announces its participation to the first edition of VIV MEA
Yousra LAHBABI - 14-janv.-2016 07:21:10
United Arab Emirates, January 2016 – Business France, the national agency supporting the international development of the French economy will gather in an innovative French pavilion the entire livestock sector, from feed through to meat for the first edition of VIV MEA (Adnec - Hall 6). The Middle East offers the prospect of fruitful dialog for the livestock industry, and particularly for poultry farming. This first edition of VIV MEA, expected to be strong, to be held from February 15 to 17 2016 in Abu Dhabi, will host almost 20 French companies specializing in animal feed/nutrition and livestock equipment. The VIV Middle East Africa exhibition provides France with an opportunity for all companies exhibiting in the French pavilion to showcase their innovations in the following areas: · Animal feed, nutrition and health, · Specialist equipment for poultry and cattle rearing: handling and slaughtering equipment, feed preparation and distribution, · Products and services for animal reproduction and poultry genetics. The event brings together the whole of the poultry and cattle industries from upstream (genetics, insemination, nutrition and health) to downstream (slaughtering and meat processing), not forgetting breeding equipment and materials. Being one of the fastest-growing economies in the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates have a stated goal of attaining food self-sufficiency. Governments have decided to invest massively in equipment and the development of new technologies with the aim of focusing on local production, particularly in the agri-food, agriculture and livestock sectors. This policy is combined and backed by a strong consumer demand for local quality products. Livestock now represents a significant part of agriculture, though as yet insufficient to meet the needs: breeding of dairy cattle, sheep, goats, camels and chickens is integrated alongside imports of all inputs – genetics, feeds and nutrition, veterinary medicine, equipment, etc. Thanks to the genetic quality of its livestock and the strength of its livestock industry, France is a major breeder and a leader in the European Union for its productivity, value-added products and the global distribution of its exceptionally diverse range of breeds. France is also one of the world's leading producers of milk and meat thanks to the vitality of its livestock which contribute to name France as an international excellence and reference in this industry. France is Europe's leading producer of poultry, producing a combined total of just over 1.8 million tonnes in 2014 (13.5% of total production in the European Union). Broiler breeding is an important source of revenue for the French economy, accounting almost 60,000 employees including: • Hatcheries: 120 companies, 1,200 breeders of breeding stock and 6,500 jobs, • Breeders: 14,000 breeders including 4,000 labels, 27,900 breeding premises, • Feed manufacturers: 340 production facilities producing 7 million tonnes of poultry feed (33% of total livestock feed production), including 3.8 tonnes of cereal, and 4,000 jobs, • Industrial slaughterhouses, cutters and preparers: 170 companies, 415 slaughtering facilities, As the world's number six exporter, France still plays a dominant role in the international stage. Come and meet us on the French pavilion located Hall 6 at VIV MEA, ADNEC, from February 15 to 17 2016.

No. 662 Squadron was a Royal Air Force Air Observation Post squadron associated with the 21st Army Group and later part of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force. Numbers 651 to 663 Squadrons of the RAF were Air Observation Post units working closely with Army units in artillery spotting and liaison. A further three of these squadrons, 664–666, were manned with Canadian personnel. Their duties and squadron numbers were transferred to the Army with the formation of the Army Air Corps on 1 September 1957. It is now an Apache Helicopter Squadron.

History

Formation and early years
No. 662 Squadron was formed at RAF Old Sarum on 30 September 1943 with the Auster III which gave way to the Auster IV in March 1944. The squadron role was to support the British 21st Army Group in June 1944 when it moved to France. It briefly flew from Nordhorn in Germany from 7-10 April 1945. The squadron supported the Army until the end of the war when it was disbanded on 15 December 1945 at Melsbroek in Belgium.

Post war
After the war the Air Observation Squadrons were reformed and No. 662 Squadron Royal Auxiliary Air Force was reformed as such at RAF Colerne on 1 May 1949, also operating a flight from RAF Middle Wallop, to provide support to the Army in the West Country until it was disbanded at RAF Colerne on 10 March 1957.

No. 1956 Air Observation Post Flight was formed within 662 Squadron along with No. 1962 Air Observation Post Flight and No. 1963 Air Observation Post Flight.

Pakistan has emerged as one of the very few countries in the World where 90 per cent of the adult population is registered through most secure biometric technology introduced by National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
"We are striving to attain 100 per cent registration and if we hit 94% we are as good as 100% because on average 6% turns 18 every year" said Tariq Malik, Deputy Chairman NADRA.
While stating the benefits of registration, He observed that biometric identification of every Pakistani citizen of this country would bring transparency in all social political and economic affairs besides providing the vital health, education and social information for initiating targeted development programs.
"We have issued 79.13 million ID cards so far against eligible adult population of 87.89 million. Overall registration increase in last two years (2008-2010) is 60% whereas female registration growth is 88.7% when compared against previous two years (2006-2008)" said Tariq. He said the registration of adult male population has already reached 99 per cent but female adult registration is still 77 per cent due to cultural inhibitions. We have overcome many hurdles in this regard as the overall registration in one of the most conservative province of Kyber Pakhtunkwa has already reached 99 per cent. He said the people of this province realized the benefits of registration to avail many social benefits.
Paying tribute to the NADRA employees he said they showed remarkable dedication in increasing the registration despite bad law and order situation since 2008.
He said some important government initiatives also facilitated increase in issuance of Computerized National Identity Cards. "Prime Ministers decision to provide free CNICs attracted 1.7 million people and BISP attracted poorest of poor to get registered" added Tariq Malik.
He said successful cash disbursement using biometric technology and rehabilitation of Internally Displaced People as an after math of SWAT operation was also possible due to accurate data available about the population with NADRA. Banks in Pakistan he added are flourishing because they know the identity of all their account holders. He said crimes have been unearthed after tracing the identity of criminals' mobile phones that are issued after verification of their CNICs. "It is high time that the elections should be held on CNIC basis. This would definitely bring transparency in elections" said Tariq.
NADRA opened many new registration centers, increased its fleet of mobile registration vans and established make shift semi mobile registration centers to cope with the surge in far flung areas. "Our mountaineers are trekking in mountain searching for unregistered population." Tariq added.
UNDER, "Punjab 91 per cent", There is just "88 per cent" with no name of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Get it corrected, Mehwish Khan.
Welocme to the new form of imperiaisum, beware your WATCHED!
We must not forget to mention here the behevior of NADRA employees on any of their Customer Centers specially in Rawalpindi where people stand in que that starts from road and goes a half kilometer long and that even in this heat. But I assure you that if you give Rs.300 to polimen sitting there, you will have you hand in their hand and you will get in before anyone else.
Try this and if I am wrong…Kill me.
What benefit has this brought to the nation? Technology will not change anything if the mindset is not changed. Not a single benefit comes to my mind as a result of us all being 'documented'. We're still perceived to be the world's largest terrorist producers, most corrupt, largely poverty stricken …should I keep going?
@K.A : dear k.a i want to ask you that why would be it a problem for your or any of my dear fellow citizen's to stand in line ? why dont you object when you stand in line infect put into a misery when applying for foreign visas ? secondly we must understand that if we do not entice others to do corruption they would not have the option to do so…its we who are corrupt and not that policemen whom you referred.
totally agreed with Usman Javaid..


Let's talk some economics, since there seems no escaping for that.
I find Economist online, my favorite news magazine is now totally open and free. There's no longer subscriber-only content. But my Nike shoes nevertheless stays about the same price. While we marvel the free contents online, let's not forget they are not actually costless. It's advertising from the likes of Nike and the price I pay for it keep the web world, including this blog service from google, free.
Aside from the often mentioned demand shock from emerging markets like China, at least part of the reason of the expensive oil is the depreciating dollar. It reflects the diminishing purchasing power of the currency. The exchange rate, as they like to say, is fundamentally a "money phenomenon". The fed has issued billions of new dollars just to cover the sub-ordinate market crisis. Over the last eight years, the American economic theme was about spending - tax cuts, financing the war, etc. Here, China is also complicit. In that economic arrangement, China's huge trade surplus against the U.S. partly made the spending and the housing market bubble possible. That may be the reason why the U.S. has never serious take any economic action against China - sanction or tax slap - despite the repeated threat. Under normal circumstances, a country is willing to run continuous surplus this lend money to the other country because it expects the future growth of the foreign country will be higher than its own. However, the expectation never comes to fruition, it turns out to be the housing bubble. Or, should be say it is pushed out to the more distant future? Under the current U.S.-China exchange rate system, the fed is the real central bank, both in the U.S. and China. China running continuous surplus is no different than farmers in Wyoming provide New Yorkers with beef and lend them the sales money for them to play in the stock market.
So, will China or should China continue to appreciate its currency? It's a complicated question to answer. Chinese dollar reserver is at the record high, but exports has already signs of slowing down. And China has huge appetite for growth due to its structural problems. Americans multinationals are not doing too bad amid China growth either. For an extreme example, Chinese banks are said to be among the worst managed banks in the world, so why can Banks of America reap billions of profits from its minority stakes in Chinese banks, big enough to cover its sub-prime loss? The answer can only be growth. If China allows RMB to further appreciate much, the growth will further slow down, and the American debt Chinese own will certainly worth less. (Chinese system is equivalent to letting the government manage all foreign exchanges for you.) The only decent choices for China would then be, like the Japanese used to do, to use the new purchasing power to purchase American assets and American technology, both of which American government is wary of. On the other hand, if China stick mostly to the current peg, it runs the risk of importing inflation, especially form hot money. The advantage of an authoritarian government is that China has the apparatus to control capital flow and limit credits, to a degree. The reverse ratio has been increase several times recently.
So, there's a lot to tango with. My brother will continue to ponder how much he'll lose when he has to convert dollar back to Yuan. And I tell him not to worry too much. At least, it's a better problem to deal with than the $4 gas price. Oh, and don't expect China will hike the gas price dramatically either.
I read somewhere that China will probably raise gas prices after the Olympics. We can only hope that the move will stall more car purchases on the already overcrowded roads.
As for the appreciation of the Yuan--I'm still hoping it continues for another year. Assuming I move back to the states at the end of next summer, I'd have decent savings to support my family until the paychecks come in. Unfortunately, I'll have to deal with plenty of inflation here over the next year. Just hope my pay raise will be good enough.

Chan Chan – Among the Largest Mud-Brick Cities in the World
The Inca civilization is one of the most notable Pre-Columbian civilizations that existed in Peru. Prior to its rapid rise to power, however, there were other prominent civilizations, which today, are rarely mentioned and receive little attention in the exploration of the country's ancient history. One of these civilizations is the Kingdom of the Chimor. This was the largest Peruvian civilization prior to the rise of the Incas. It was responsible for building one of the most impressive cities in Pre-Columbian South America – Chan Chan.
Chan Chan, which literally translates to 'Sun Sun', is located about 10 minutes outside Peru's northern city of Trujillo in the once fertile river valley of Moche and Santa Catalina. This city was built in A.D. 850, and lasted until its conquest by the Inca Empire in A.D. 1470. Chan Chan was not only the capital city of the Kingdom of the Chimor, but also the largest city in Pre-Columbian South America. More significantly, perhaps, is the fact that it is one of the world's largest adobe (mud-brick) complexes. Chan Chan reached nearly 20 square km, with a city centre of 6 km, and housed almost 100,000 people during in heyday in A.D. 1200. The entire city, from its grandest temples to its humblest residences, was constructed entirely from bricks of sun dried mud. Spectacular reliefs, sculptures, and wall carvings adorned the entire city.
The impressive city of Chan Chan
Chan Chan is a reflection of the Chimú's strict political and social strategy. This is evident in the layout of the city. The heart of Chan Chan consists of nine large rectangular complexes, known as citadels or palaces, which were delineated by high thick earthen walls. Within these units, various buildings were arranged in an open space. These buildings included temples, residential homes and storage buildings. In addition, reservoirs and funerary platforms were built in the citadels. Beyond these nine citadels were 32 semi-monumental compounds and four production sectors for activities such as textile weaving, metalworking and woodworking. Further north, east and west of the city are extensive agricultural lands and a remnant irrigation system. Thus, one can see that the city of Chan Chan had a well-defined hierarchy, in which an urban core was supplied by the industrial products of its suburban areas and the agricultural produce of its farmlands.

The first European known to have laid eyes on the spectacular city of Chan Chan, was the Spanish conquistador, Francisco Pizarro, and his men, who arrived at the site around 1532. Since then, the city has been pillaged by Spanish treasure hunters and their modern counterparts, the huaqueros ('grave robbers'). In the reports of Pizarro's expedition, the walls and other architectural features of Chan Chan are described as being adorned with precious metal. For instance, Pedro Pizarro, one of Francisco's kinsmen, found a doorway covered in silver, which is estimated to have been worth more than $2 million by today's standards.
Although the treasure hunters are a serious threat to Chan Chan, they are not the most dangerous. As a city built entirely of adobe, Chan Chan's greatest threat comes from the environment. Thus, heavy rains, flooding and strong winds have the potential to dissolve the mud brick structures of the city. During the time of the Kingdom of the Chimor, the El Niño phenomenon, which occurred every 25 to 50 years, caused the most damage to Chan Chan. Today's climate, however, has made the occurrence of this phenomenon more frequent, hence posing an increased threat to the site.
Efforts are underway to protect Chan Chan, but is it enough? Credit: Martin Garcia
Despite the increased rate of erosion at the site, archaeologists are making a valiant effort to preserve the site. For instance, tent-like structures are being erected in various parts of the city to protect it from rainwater. Furthermore, whilst some friezes are being hardened with a solution of distilled water and cactus juice, others are being photographed and then covered to protect them. In the long run, however, these actions may not be enough.
