We hope that this book reflects our years of radar teaching experience both in the classroom and even more pertinent in our onboard courses underway. The book is divided into two parts, Basics and Beyond the Basics (see Preface notes in the Features link), so that readers can get underway with safe, efficient radar usage as soon as possible.
Radar "tuning" and picture optimization are covered in detail, as is collision avoidance and navigation with radar. The full table of contents is in the Contents link above. The Preface to the book can be read in the Features link above, and this book has its own support page, which you can see at the Tech Support link above.
The purpose of the program is to standardize the teaching of radar for the recreational boater. Affiliate Schools across the country are teaching this Radar Course to those students that have already taken a coastal navigation course. The textbook Radar for Mariners by David Burch will be used for the program. The following standards will be taught: � How radar works � Radar Operation � Interpreting the screen � Piloting � Position navigation � Collision avoidance � Radar and the Navigation Rules. This national program will aid in the proper education of recreational mariners using radar and increase the safety and confidence of these participants.
The Radar for Mariners book is part of the required materials for our online course on marine radar along with the Radar Trainer software program.
If you want a way to review what you learn from the book, and a way to practice composing the key points of radar operation into a few sentences, then consider adding our Radar Workbook as a guide to your study of the text.


This page lists the song chart entries of Jim Croce.A list of the hit albums by Jim Croce is also available. The songs are listed with the most widely successful first.
Good evening! Excuse me again, but I think, that Jim Croce's recording "I Have To Say I Love You in a love song" is the same as "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song" (official name of this song). Could you put it together, please?
Normally we'd be a little wary of claiming that any title is the "official name" of a song, it is common for record companies to have different titles and even credit songs to different artists in other countries.
However on this occasion the simplest explination is, as you suggest, that the title was wrong on the Dutch site. We have fixed the entry, thanks for the correction.

Nigerian fintech Lidya raises $6.9m in Series-A round led by Omidyar Network [Updated]
Read nextMeet the nine 2018 FNB Business Innovation Awards finalists
Nigerian fintech startup Lidya has announced that it has raised $6.9-million in a Series A round led by Silicon Valley-based philanthropic investment firm Omidyar Network.
The startup's platform assists small African businesses to manage their funds as well as access credit. The startup was founded in 2016 by Tunde Kehinde, and Ercin Eksin.
In an announcement in a statement yesterday (23 May) Lidya said the funding will be used to scale operations in Nigeria, as well as to launch in new markets in Africa, in addition to hiring more staff and expanding the company's loan book.
A total of five investors: Alitheia Capital, Accion Venture Lab, Bamboo Capital Partners, Newid Capital, and Tekton Ventures also participated in the round which saw Omidyar Network investment principal Ameya Upadhyay joining Lidya's board.
Lidya plans to use the funding to scale in Nigeria, hire more staff, expand its loan book , and launch into new markets in Africa,
"We are excited by the overwhelming support from the investor community, which signals a great confidence in our business model and team," said Eksin.
Upadhyay said the startup — through its algorithms which analyse data from small businesses to assess creditworthiness — was able to provide flexible and affordable credit, which he said is "at the crux of unlocking growth" for small and medium sized businesses.
"This data-driven approach allows the company to offer loans without the need of hard collateral, a requirement that has scuttled MSME (micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises) financing in Africa," said Upadhyay.
Since its launch, Lidya claims it has provided over 1500 loans to business operating in retail, farming, tech, hospitality, and logistics.
Last year, the startup — which is a participant of the MasterCard Start Path Programme — raised $1.25-million in a seed round led by Accion Venture Lab.
Editor's note (30 May 2018): Subsequent to the publication of this article, Ameya Upadhyay, investment principal at Omidyar Network, responded to Ventureburn's request for comment on the deal, saying it is the funder's policy not to disclose equity stake or size of individual investments, "as we consider that proprietary information".
When asked how the deal had come about, Upadhyay said the funder had known Lidya "for more than one and a half years" and have been following the progress of the company since its inception.
"Beyond a solid, experienced team, who has deep knowledge of the local context and challenges, we were also very excited by the traction of the company in the market, even at this early stage," he added in an email to Ventureburn.

10 lawn care tips to help your lawn this spring.
Let's get straight to it: Spring is to lawns what a flake is to ice cream – the. most. important. thing. ever. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart to the tip of my greenthumb. Spring is your lawn's BFF. It's that friendly face she's pretty keen to see after the rigours of winter, and that's because spring is able to give your garden the level of attention it needs for your grass to start growing again.
The bad news is: you can't just sit back and hope spring will do everything to make your lawn look awesome in time for summer. You have to help out a bit. You have to become spring's trusty sidekick (Robin if you will), or you could end up regretting it for the rest of the year.
The good news is: By dressing up as Robin (okay, you don't have to dress up), you'll be giving your lawn all the care it needs right now, and that means you'll be able to sit back with a few pina coladas for the rest of the year. C'mon. That's got to be the best trade deal since I was at school (and managed swap my Squirtle for a shiny Charizard #Pokemon).
So, without further ado, here are the 10 things you need to do this spring to completely revamp your lawn care (and if you don't understand any of the terms, read this article).
Spring is here. And that means you're grass is going to start growing up quicker than your youngest child. So it's time to dust off your mower, sharpen the blade and begin trimming your grass. And I mean trim. Because it's the first mow of the year, you'll want to set the deck height pretty high so that you only chop off a third off the plant. If you don't, your lawn will become more stressed than a Mum on the first week of the summer holidays. Right now, it's about doing a little bit, more often, as annoying as that sounds.
If there is one thing your lawn wants come spring, it's a big old Sunday roast. It wants feeding. This is because your grass plants are growing super-fast, and if you want them to grow up to be strong, healthy and a nice shade of green, you'll need to feed them some essential nutrients. Do that and you'll have yourself a nice, thick, dense carpet of grass (the sort that will get at least 3 fire emojis when you pop it on your Insta-stories).
Of all the weeds that fancy their chances in the spring, Broadleaf weeds are the worst. Thankfully, they're a doddle to treat (which is a nice way of saying, ahem, kill). Simply grab yourself some pre-emergent herbicide – or all-in-one treatment – and have some fun. Of course, that's not the only way of getting rid of weeds. As an alternative, you can yank them out by hand (make sure you get the root), cut them out with a knife (make sure you get the root) or even pour boiling water on them (make sure you douse the root).
Lawns tend to get a bit bashed about during the winter months. They succumb to a bit of wear and tear, dog wee, footfall and freezing conditions. If that sounds like your lawn, early spring can be a great time for some overseeding. The aim is for the new seed to germinate and make any bald, sparse or thin patches of grass thicken up, like Shane Warne's hair did after he retired.
Only the most astute garden-owners seem to have that uneven-lawn-spotting ability, but unevenness is a common side-effect of winter. Luckily, these low areas can be evened-out with a dollop of top dressing. Just make sure you do any topdressing when the lawn is dry if you want it to work effectively. Not when it's raining, not when rain is forecast and not after a heavy fall, but when it's dry. Not only will this help with the uneven thing, but it will also also help breakdown the build-up of any thatch and aid drainage.
Moss is becoming a bigger and bigger problem for lawn-owners, and one that can only be dealt with properly through scarification. That said, if you want to double down on your "I hate moss" efforts, you can always apply a layer of moss-killer first and then start your scarifying. It will up your chances of banishing any unwanted moss from your lawn. Once you've done this, I recommend some overseeding because, more often than not, removing moss from a lawn can leave your lawn looking a bit think in areas, and overseeding with thicken these areas up.
There's a thousand reasons why you should… okay, maybe not a thousand, but at least three reasons why you should indulge in a bit of springtime scarification and it's all about creating a healthy lawn. Scarification is great at cutting through the build-up of dead grass, thatch and moss that might have occurred, and this doesn't just help alleviate some of the stress on your grass roots, it allows air, water and nutrients to get down to where they are needed.
In its most basic form, aeration is making holes in your lawn by pulling out plugs of soil, which might sound weird but it's one of the best things you can do for your lawn, especially in spring. By creating lots of holes all over your lawn, you are relieving any compaction, improving the drainage and allowing your root system to indulge on all the air, water and nutrients it needs to grow healthy.
Quick science lesson: Your lawn is green plant organism. That means it relies on sunlight (okay, and heat, water, air and food) to grow strong and healthy. Flip this on its head and you'll see why shade is bad. Don't worry, I'm not suggesting you turn your home into a bungalow. I'm just suggesting you get your favourite garden scissors and start cutting back any foliage, shrubs and trees that might be reducing the amount of sunlight, water and nutrients making it to your lawn.
The best way to stop those pesky little weeds from messing with your lawn's feng shui is to keep up a good lawn care routine. That's because a thick carpet of strong, healthy lawn will muscle out most weeds in a survival of the fittest like showdown. And it doesn't require much work on your part either – just a bit of feeding here and there, regular mowing (with a sharp blade) and spreading some overseed on any bare patches. Do that and your lawn will work harder for you. Fact.

Q: AgglomerativeClustering on precomputed Sparse Matrix In my current approach, I have
from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix
from sklearn.cluster import AgglomerativeClustering
import pandas as pd

s = pd.DataFrame([[0.8, 0. , 3. ],
       [1. , 1. , 2. ],
       [0.3, 3. , 4. ]], columns=['dist', 'v1', 'v2'])
sparseD = csr_matrix((1-s['dist'], (s['v1'].values, s['v2'].values)), shape=(N, N))
agg = AgglomerativeClustering(n_clusters=None, affinity='precomputed', linkage='complete', distance_threshold=.25)
agg.fit_predict(sparseD)

The last line raises
TypeError: cannot take a sparse matrix.

If I cast the data toarray, the code works and produces the expected output, but uses a lot of memory and is slow: on the real data size: 61K x 61K.
I am wondering if there is another library (or scikit API) that can do the same linkage clustering on a precomputed, sparse Distance matrix -- if there were no entry for a given (element1, element2) pair, the API would not link them and everything else would be the same.

Local voter registrars face unique struggles in coming election cycle — pandemic, reassuring voters on election integrity, poll workers
By Alexa Doiron
(WYDaily file photo)
As the nation prepares for a unique election season this fall, local registrars in the Historic Triangle are trying to stay on top of mounting changes.
Registrars in some areas of the country are struggling to find enough election officials and poll workers to run the election day proceedings because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Most of our volunteers are in the high risk category and a lot of them have opted not to work," said Tina Reitzel, Williamsburg's director of elections
She said typically the registrar has a lot of volunteers during election year.
Several upperclassman from William & Mary have decided to volunteer with the registrar's office getting "10 or so" requests in the past week. The registrar normally works with the university's law school and gets a few government majors each year, she said.
"We are always looking for volunteers," Reitzel said. "We are probably looking for 10-15 more. We haven't pushed a lot of recruitment but as we get closer to the end of September when we start finalizing our rosters, we might be doing that."
But in James City County, volunteer election officials have been coming forward just as much as ever before, said Dianna Moorman, the county's director of elections.
"If things stay on track with how they are now, we should be okay," Moorman said. "We're keeping the same number of election officers only because this is our first venture into the world of no excuse absentee voting."
Moorman said there are about 300 election officials currently but the county hopes for at least 20 more before the elections.
While the number of volunteers has remained steady, employees with the registrar have been working around the clock to address the growing issue of voter uncertainty this election cycle.
This year already proved to be unique because of the pandemic but with an increased push for mail-in absentee ballots to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Moorman said some voters have started to express anxiety that their votes will actually be counted.
"I have never seen such doubt and question in any election," Moorman said. "This is my 34th election and it's disconcerting."
The main source of that anxiety is coming from political information regarding the U.S. Postal Service, she said. President Donald Trump announced earlier this month an opposition for election aid for states and emergency bailout funds for the Postal Service in order to restrict how many Americans can vote by mail, according to the Washington Post. Trump has also insinuated that a large number of mail-in votes could create a rigged election.
Whether or not this is true, many voters have started to worry that their ballots won't count in the coming election which has caused a mass of confusion and extra work for a department that is already stretched thin in James City County.
"The thing we're running up against is with presidential candidates saying to go and vote in person," Moorman said. "But it works against the system and puts in people's mind that the post office isn't safe, so they submit multiple applications."
Those multiple applications create an excess of additional paperwork that has to be done by election officials before the voting timeline passes. Moorman said the county has already passed the 10 percent mark for those who have requested absentee ballots and there are still about 2,000 applications that have to be entered by employees.
The registrar has ordered 140 percent ballots based on the amount of locals registered because they expect many people to shift from mail-in to in-person voting.
"The one message I have for voters is to pick a method [of voting] and commit to that method," she said. "Just turn off the television and focus on what your one vote has the power to do."
But the already understaffed department has started spending most of the workday on the phone, answering emails and interacting with voters who are concerned about the integrity of the election.
"Most days, we don't get to put the phone down until 5 p.m. and start our significant work," she said. "The integrity of the election is still intact, we are extremely by the book and pride ourselves on making sure we are as accurate as possible."
Moorman said she and employees in the registrar's office try to calm voters' nerves by telling them the Postal Service is a reliable service and they can even track their mail-in ballot online if they need to.
Another struggle of this election cycle is the changes coming from the legislature in the last General Assembly. Moorman said the department didn't receive any word from local legislators about the numerous changes being made until a 17-page packet arrived with the information.
Some of the changes have added to the level and speed of work that need to be done. For example, in the past the department was given 14 days to register voters and go through the application process, but now it has to be done in five days, Moorman said.
In addition, if an application is denied the employees with the registrar's office now have to notify the individual not only by mail, but also by phone or email which is extremely time consuming.
With those constant changes, Moorman said her staff are often working 12-hour days and weekends to make sure all of the work gets done.
"This has taught me that I am thankful for our checklists and that we can be very flexible if we need to be," she said. "We empathize with voters who are trying to learn as much as possible in a world that's changing everyday."
In York County, there is less concern about having enough people.
Walt Latham, the county's general registrar, said York has about 500 people interested in working as poll workers, "and if half of them work, then we're pretty much set."
Latham added the office will start reaching out to people this week to double check their numbers. He has already been in contact with leaders at the voting precincts, saying he is optimistic about their numbers.
As for the age of volunteers, Latham said the county is not specifically targeting an age group when recruiting poll workers.
"We're just taking anyone who's signed up and who's interested in working," he said. "And we're letting people let us know if they're concerned or if they don't want to work. That way we're not discriminating against age or anything like that."
York County has a new voting office located at 6614 Mooretown Road in Victory Village. It is open to absentee voting. Latham encourages people to visit the location and vote.

Discussing First Impressions with ESA Veterans at Entomology 2013
By Joseph Alfonso
With so many things, first impressions are incredibly important and the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America is no exception (click here for my earlier post about my first ESA meeting).
After the waves of excitement and nervousness subsided on my second day, I wanted to speak with others about their first impressions. Luckily, I had the chance to speak with two former ESA presidents — Tom Turpin and Jay McPherson — about their first national conferences.
I told them how I thought everything seemed so overwhelming at first. No matter how I planned, the number of talks I wanted to see had me running back and forth at the convention center while still missing some of them. The fact that so many influential researchers were present also made the whole experience feel a little intimidating, I told them.
They laughed and said that it wasn't much different for them either. Jay told me how his first national meeting left him feeling lost when he wasn't around the people he knew from his Branch meetings. He also mentioned how he remained silent during an elevator ride with an influential entomologist due to his nervousness. Tom agreed, but he had slightly different experiences since his major professor pushed him to meet big-name entomologists such as Charles Triplehorn.
These experiences make ESA meetings memorable for many people. I'm sure I'll remember that interview and my initial impressions for a very long time. It was an honor to speak with Tom and Jay, and the whole interview can be seen below.

White Lady of the Hohenzollern
The writer does not know the White Lady tradition at Schonnbrunn, nor has he ever been able to ascertain anything definite about her history. But there is plenty of documentary evidence, as well as a wonderful array of records concerning the White Lady of the Hohenzollerns who makes her appearance In the old palace at Berlin whenever death Is about to overtake a member of the reigning house of Prussia. The late Emperor Frederick In particular was greatly interested In the matter and collected all the evidence that he could upon the subject for the purpose of depositing it In the archives of his family; Perhaps the most Important piece of testimony in this connection are the sworn statements signed by Prince Frederick of Prussia and a number of his fellows, to all of whom the White Lady is declared to have appeared as they sat together on the eve of the Prince's death at the battle of Saalfeld in 1806.
Moreover, Thomas Carlyle went to no little trouble to procure evidence when writing the history of Frederick the Great that the White Lady had appeared to that famous monarch on the eve of his death.
Indeed, It Is asserted that the King was on the road to recovery from his illness, when suddenly one morning he declared he had seen the white-clad specter during the night, that his hour had come, and that it was useless to try to avoid death any longer. So he refused to take any further medicine, turned his face to the wall, and died. It seems that this White Lady of the Hohenzollern was originally the Countess Agnes von Orlamunde, who murdered her First husband, as well as her two children, in order to be enabled to marry the Burgrave of Nuremberg, the ancestor of the Electors of Brandenburg and of the house of Hohenzollern. The triple murder Is asserted to have taken place within the precincts of this palace…

Estonian Region Where Weed Is Illegal Makes Weed Leaf Their Official Flag
Drugs are illegal in Estonia and possession of even a small amount of cannabis for personal use is a misdemeanor, but that didn't stop residents of an Estonian region to vote in a marijuana leaf as their new logo.
Several local government areas were recently combined into a new rural district called Kanepi in Estonia. Needing a flag, the local government opened the matter to an online poll in January. Despite there being only 5,000 residents in the area, 12,000 voted for their support of a flag with the cannabis leaf on it. The district council ratified the poll in a narrow 9-8 vote.
Not everybody is so pleased about the decision, and there are some questions about those voting numbers, but Council Chairman Kaido Koiv told Reuters that the process "was very democratic."
Council member Arno Kakk was not so hot on the idea. "I must say that I am not for the fact that we will be marching under this kind of a flag," he said.
The weed leaf design did not come out of nowhere. The region has a long history of cannabis cultivation. Its very name is derived from the word "kanep," the Estonian word for marijuana. More than 150 years ago, harvesting of cannabis and its processing into cloth, rope, and oil was a part of life in the area.
To this day "a few local businesses [produce] organic hemp oil and flour in the region," Council member Andrus Seeme told Agence France-Presse.
"Today the cannabis leaf is seen primarily as a recreational drug," Seeme said, "but in fact, hemp-type cannabis has been used in practical ways for years and it has hundreds of uses."
There's "nothing wrong" with the new flag, he said.

The Rosemount 8750W magnetic flow meter brings together performance, reliability and intelligent diagnostics to create a superior solution for water, wastewater, and utility flow measurement.
Available in sizes ranging from 1/2 to 48 inches, the 8750W features fully welded construction to withstand vibration and dual-compartment transmitter housing to keep electronics isolated from moisture and contamination. This robust design provides the reliability and accuracy needed to keep important processes running.
The 8750 includes a field or wall mounted transmitter for fast, intuitive, and easy configuration. The field mount Rosemount 32ES transmitter includes die cast aluminum housing for excellent reliability. It is available with an optional backlit two line by 16 character local operator interface, and the transmitter can be configured by optical switches to simplify adjustments without removing the cover.
The wall mount Rosemount 12ES transmitter features an easy to use operator interface and the Rosemount magmeter diagnostics. The intuitive 15 button keypad provides instant access to the most commonly used functions, and the 2 line by 20 character display provides clear indication.
The Rosemount 8750W uses wafer or flanged process connections. Flanged sensors are fabricated from stainless and carbon steel and welded to provide a hermetic seal that protects against moisture and other contaminants.
The flangeless design of the wafer sensor makes it an economical, compact, and lightweight alternative to flanged models. Alignment spacers provided with every sensor assist with centering the sensor in the process line making installation easier.
The Background: Our customer is a municipal water department seeking a high quality industrial flow meter for use inside a pumping station.
The Problem: The customer wants a simple, accurate, reliable solution at a good price.
The Solution: We suggested the Rosemount 8750W magnetic flow meter. Based upon the popular Rosemount 8700 which offers a wide variety of configuration options and features that make it flexible for any industrial application, the 8750W is purposely built for the municipal water and wastewater market and reduces the available configuration options to only those necessary for water and wastewater applications, resulting in a more economical solution.

World Court battle looms between US and AT&T, T-Mobile
Court battle looms between US and AT&T, T-Mobile
Thursday, September 01, 2011 10:00 Email Print
The Justice Department made a bold move when it sued to block AT&T Inc's $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile. Now comes the hard part: going to court.
The government is asking a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to stop the deal, and will have to prove that it would mean higher prices and less competition.
"This will be the Obama administration's line in the sand. This will be their signature antitrust event," said University of Baltimore law school professor Robert Lande.
AT&T has said it will fight the case, and its general counsel said it plans to seek an expedited hearing from the judge. Even so, experts say, the company could decide that it is not worth the expense and uncertainty to go to trial.
An AT&T spokeswoman declined to comment.
Two big communications deals, MCI's proposed takeover of Sprint in 1999 and EchoStar Communications Corp's deal to buy Hughes Electronic Corp's DirecTV in 2001 fell apart after the Justice Department challenged the deals.
"A preliminary question is whether AT&T will go to court. It's certainly not uncommon for companies to look at this and decide that the game isn't worth the gamble," said David Smutny, an antitrust lawyer with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe.
The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle, who also oversaw the EchoStar-Hughes antitrust court challenge. Huvelle was appointed to the bench in 1999 by then President Bill Clinton.
In pre-trial proceedings in that case, Huvelle had harsh words for the way both companies responded to regulators' information requests, calling them "sluggish."
Lengthy and complicated
Any trial in the AT&T case would be lengthy and complicated, with experts predicting that both sides would put on a parade of witnesses including consumers, economists, and possibly competitors or state regulators.
In its complaint, the Justice Department argued that AT&T has overwhelming power in the national market -- it is one of four major carriers -- and that the market for mobile telecommunications would be highly concentrated in 96 of 100 U.S. cell phone market areas.
AT&T is likely to argue that the deal would create efficiencies in terms of price, quality and innovation -- and maybe even jobs, said Lande, the Baltimore professor.
"Very few efficiency defenses work," said Lande, who praised the Justice Department for bringing the action. "They make promises that these efficiencies could happen, but showing that in court is very difficult."
While most antitrust attorneys declined to say how they thought the case would be decided, Howard University law professor Andy Gavil said he thought the judge would block the deal. "Having read the complaint, I don't see a basis for a negotiated settlement," said Gavil, who testified to Congress on the deal.
Two other veteran Washington antitrust attorneys, who declined to be identified because of potential conflicts involving their law firms and companies in the case, told Reuters they think the deal will be stopped, either because the court blocks it or because AT&T drops its bid.
If the case goes to trial, there may be no quick end. The losing side is likely to appeal.
"You could have a situation here where the combined litigation and regulatory process could extend for several months or years," said Maury Mechanick, a telecommunications attorney at law firm White & Case.

Sonic Mania Delayed On PC Due to Performance Issues
Zubi Khan
SEGA has announced that Sonic Mania's Steam release on PC has been delayed until August 29, 2017.
Sonic Mania is set to release on August 15 2017, however SEGA announced on their livestream today, that the highly anticipated throw-back title will be delayed on Steam. SEGA stated that the Steam release of Sonic Mania has been delayed due to the title not performing to the level of quality they want for the game.
It is unclear on how the game is currently performing on PC. SEGA most likely wants the game to achieve parity with the console releases of Sonic Mania. Sonic Mania was first revealed in July of 2016, during the Sonic the Hedgehog 25th anniversary party event held by SEGA in San Diego. Both fan and press reception for the title has been hugely positive, with many claiming it to be a return to the series roots for Sonic the Hedgehog.
SEGA enlisted the help of Christian Whitehead, who had previously worked on ports of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic CD for Android and iOS devices. Whitehead was recruited by SEGA initially for his excellent fan made Sonic the Hedgehog titles. The upcoming release of Sonic Mania also includes a retro-inspired limited edition collector's release that comes with a 12'' Sonic statue, a SEGA Genesis/Megadrive replica cart with a gold ring, and a collector's card with a download voucher for the actual game, all packaged in a nice collector's edition box.
The delay for Sonic Mania on PC is unfortunate, however if it is indeed to ensure quality and better performance for those who purchase it on PC, then a small delay is more than justifiable. Sonic Mania will release on August 15, 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, with the PC version now launching on August 29, 2017 on Steam's digital storefront.

THE VAMPS Members Were Among Stranded Passengers In Hong Kong Airport
The Vamps members Brad Simpson and James McVey got stranded in Hong Kong International Airport as mass protest continues in the region.
The two told Good Morning Britain that the airport shutdown took 24 hours and they were forced to sleep on the floor. "We were coming into Hong Kong, we were told we might not be able to land, because of the protests, then we didn't hear any more apart from the next flight got cancelled and we are still here," James said.
Stuck in a liminal space. Hope we can make the show in Jakarta tomorrow. We'll do everything we can to make it happen! Hong Kong ❤

Describing the situation there, he added "It was like a ghost town on this side of the wall. It was just like us and the crew sleeping in effectively a whole half of the terminal. It's quite eerie really, well it was at 2am when we were walking around not knowing where everyone was."
The Vamps just finished their tour in South Korea and were on their way to Indonesia for a show which was postponed due to the incident. "It's been a funny old experience. We've had to unfortunately push back the show of ours that we were playing, we were on the way to Indonesia," Brad said. "That's always a big concern letting down people who have bought tickets. We are trying to get out to Indonesia as quickly as possible to see those guys."
Brad later tweeted that they're already on the way to Jakarta.
Jakarta we are on the way, so happy we could reschedule the show for tomorrow night! 🙌 To the people of Hong Kong I send my love and support. X

Rents in Brooklyn and Queens hit new highs in February—and continued to climb in Manhattan too
The median rent in Brooklyn saw a new record last month, increasing 7.1 percent to $3,100, according to Douglas Elliman's February rental market report.
March 12, 2020 - 10:00am
By Brick Underground
If you're looking to rent a new place in Brooklyn, you've picked an expensive time to go apartment hunting.
The median rent in Brooklyn set a new record last month, increasing 7.1 percent to $3,100, according to Douglas Elliman's February rental market report for Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. In fact, numerous metrics for Brooklyn showed increases, the report says, meaning almost any way you slice it—Brooklyn is becoming a pricier place to rent.
Indicators are also rising for Queens, which saw a new record set for the average rent, an increase of 11.8 percent to $3,235. (Keep in mind that new luxury development can skew the average rent high—focusing on the median price gives you a better sense of the middle of the market.)
Overall, New York City's rental market followed a similar trajectory in February as previous months—with higher rents and declining concessions—but there were a few surprises.
In Manhattan, rents also moved higher, with all three overall price trend indicators—median rent, rent per square foot, and average rent—up for the ninth straight month, year over year. The median rent rose 2.9 percent to $3,500.
However, the luxury median rent fell for the first time in nearly a year. Concessions (freebies like free months and owner-paid broker fees) and new leases were both down (new leases fell year over year for the 14th straight month) as more tenants are choosing to renew rather than move to a new place.
"This month we're seeing a steady continuation of the trends we've observed over the last several months in the rental market, with robust pricing and a decline in the use of concessions, though they remain elevated," says Hal Gavzie, executive manager of leasing for Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
In Brooklyn, the number of new leases with a concession, as well as the total number of new leases, fell sharply. Leases with concessions represented 28.8 percent of new leases, down from 44.7 percent last February. The luxury median rent rose for the 16th straight month.
In Queens, more leases came with some kind of concession—60.5 percent, up from 49.3 percent. And the size of the concession was the biggest seen in more than four years, 1.9 free months, up from 1.4 free months.
"The city's rental market has been very sturdy over the past year and into the beginning months of 2020, with rents consistently on the rise," says Jonathan Miller, president and CEO of appraisal firm Miller Samuel and the author of the report. "Although we are in the midst of a charged news cycle, in the context of the rental market, we're not seeing any tangible impact at this time."
In addition, Miller says it's too soon to see the impact from the landlord broker ban, and a subsequent temporary restraining order issued in response to a lawsuit filed by several real estate groups and firms.
Market reports from other firms
The Corcoran Groups' rental market analysis for February found pricing increased in both boroughs—for all apartment sizes—when compared to this time last year.
The report says 30 percent of rental transactions brokered by The Corcoran Group offered a free month's rent and/or payment of the broker fee to entice new tenants in February down from 34 percent in January.
"Mild weather conditions drove increased traffic to available apartments," says Gary Malin, chief operating officer of The Corcoran Group. He also notes that while the use of concessions was down, they were still found on nearly a third of all leases—especially in areas with a lot of new developments and on luxury product."
MNS also released its February rental market reports for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx—the reports drill down into neighborhoods across the four boroughs and look at rents by number of bedrooms and doorman vs. non-doorman. Some findings from the report include: The largest monthly rent decrease was for doorman studios in Soho, down 20 percent. The largest monthly rent increase was for doorman two bedrooms, also in Soho.

SOOF lift is a kind of blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, which is performed on the lower eyelid. It's a tiny, subtle change to the face that can create a much younger appearance. It's a lot like a cheek lift, but causes less swelling, leading to a shorter recovery time — about one to two weeks. The surgeon will remove the stitches after five days. Ask your surgeon for advice on how to care for yourself after the SOOF lift.
A SOOF lift consists of lifting the SOOF back into place and tightening the fascial layer so it stays there. This creates a more natural appearance, with less risk of failure, than removing the SOOF entirely as is done in some other procedures, such as an open lower lid blepharoplasty, in which the surgeon makes an incision under the eyelashes of the lower lid, lifts the skin and muscle and removes the fat. While this does take care of the wrinkles and puffiness, the absence of the deposit of fat gives a hollow look to the lower eyelid and tear trough. The SOOF can be replaced by another deposit of fat taken from a different part of the body, but this doesn't always take. Hence the SOOF lift.


A court held that a bidder's failure to list its prices properly, in accordance with the agency's instructions, can be corrected as an obvious clerical mistake where the intended bid is obvious from the face of the bid.
SDV Construction Group, LLC (SDV)protested a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)construction contract award to JR Services LLC (JRS).The invitation for bids (IFB)required bidders to submit separate bid prices for a construction"base bid"along with five"deduct alternates."
The IFB instructed bidders to calculate each deduct alternate by subtracting the price for the work described in each particular alternate from the base bid.The VA could award a contract for the base bid, or for any one of the deduct alternates.
Instead of listing its deduct alternates as the cost of the base bid, minus the cost of work described in each alternate, JRS simply listed the cost of performing the work indicated in each alternate.As a result, JRS's deduct alternates were millions of dollars less than those provided by the other bidders.

In part 1 of this series, we delved into the creation of WorkflowLab (initially codenamed Cascade). We started by condensing our project's big ideas into a high-level vision that could be expressed in one sentence: "Build a consistent communication vehicle for workflow, disciplines, tasks, users, products, and technologies that constitute a complete workflow for a project type."
We were trying to create something pretty powerful and all-encompassing. To make it demonstrable and understandable for a two-day presentation to Adobe management, we used Fireworks and Flash Catalyst to build a prototype of the user interface, simulating some of its basic functionality. After getting management's greenlight and a starting project budget, we whittled down our long list of desired features into the top-priority items that we thought we could complete in the designated time schedule, and we created a use case for each of those features.
Next, our design and development teams estimated the time and cost of the work to include each feature, so that we could adjust the scope of the feature or defer it to a future version. We worked until we had a final agreement and sync between the design team, the development team, and the product manager as to what would be included in the initial product.
With the features defined, it was time to start designing, right?
In fact, as we explain in our book Adobe Flash Platform from Start to Finish: Working Collaboratively Using Adobe Creative Suite 5, there's an important planning step that should come before you do your full-fidelity designs for a project. In the case of WorkflowLab, we were defining a number of features, but we didn't have tangible proof that this was the best option for the product or feature. So we needed a way to test and see visually how the various features were coming together and how they would interact.


Four West Country local authorities are setting up a new partnership that includes joint working in IT and operational finance.
Cheltenham Borough, Cotswold, Forest of Dean and West Oxfordshire District Councils have signed up to the 2020 Vision Programme in what they believe is a first for local government in the UK.
It will involve delegating oversight of shared services and policy matters in the relevant areas, along with staffing policy, to a joint committee.
A spokesperson for the programme told UKAuthority that the IT component is scheduled to go live by April 2016 and will take the councils towards a shared service.
"Because IT is key to everything else they need to have that firmly sorted out early on," she said.
She added that Cheltenham and Forest of Dean already share a working arrangement for IT, as do Cotswold and West Oxfordshire, so the challenge will be to bring the two agreements together.
The shared working programme will also cover public protection, building control, legal issues, property, customer services and revenues and benefits, although not all councils will necessarily be involved in each area. Further areas will be considered over the next 12 -18 with a view to setting up a jointly owned company.
2020 Vision has forecast that the deal could provide combined savings of £39 million between now and 2024, building on existing shared arrangements for HR, finance, audit and payroll.
David Neudegg (pictured), the newly appointed managing director of the partnership, said: "This is an important step along our journey to deliver an extensive range of shared services for the partner councils.
The spokesperson added that the programme will be open for other local authorities to join.
Under the first phase, each council will have a lead director to take responsibility for that council's policy, strategy and decision making processes and act as head of paid service. They will work alongside Neudegg to ensure shared working teams to comply with the agreed standards.


The objective of this discussion is to acquaint the service- man with the appearance of compressor parts that have been subjected to the effects of certain system malfunctions: This is aimed at improving diagnostic technique toward identifying and correcting system and application problems.
When viewing this presentation or studying booklet, it must be remembered that even normally operating compressors and their systems are subjected to some of the same elements associated with failed systems.
All systems are subjected to heat, varnish, discoloured oil, and some normal wear which manifests itself as scratches or mild scoring. In additions, some contamination is always found in a system.
It is physically impossible to eliminate elements that contribute to contamination.
What is needed by the serviceman is a developed sense of what is normal and what is not. This presentation shows the extremes of failure, but what about the system which has not failed or shown signs of failing ?
To what extent should you expect to see the elements of wear or abuse that are about to be described ?
This knowledge of the normal versus abnormal must come from experience and a developed service- man's curious nature -that is, not to always accept the obvious clue as the only lead to the solution.
Most compressors are designed to be forgiving of minor system problems. As newer designs are introduced which take advantage of higher efficiencies, new challenges are placed on the servicemen in the form of closer system tuning, and system understanding.
Cleanliness is more important now with systems designed with closer tolerances. Servicemen accustomed to taking small shortcuts on older systems and getting away with it, are now finding increased problems as a result of these methods or the methods of others.
The compressor itself is seldom the problem in systems which have compressor failures. The key to servicing reciprocating compressor equipment today is based on a thorough understanding of the conditions and the sequence of events that lead to failures.
This discussion approaches compressor failure in a systematic manner. First, the affected parts are examined, then the conditions that led to failure and the possible cause or causes for the failure are explored. The emphasis is placed on locating and correcting the basic cause for failure before any repair or replacement is attempted. If the basic cause goes uncorrected, it is only a matter of time before a repeat failure will occur.

Mother-Daughter Reunite Thanks To DNA Testing

One Test Changed Her Life For The Better
Like almost every adopted child, Chrisleann Casarez (now Amburgey) grew up wondering what it would be like to know her birth mother, maybe to enjoy things like birthdays and holidays with her.
She doesn't have to wonder any more. Out of curiosity she took a DNA test. Lo and behold, it led her to her birth mom, Zina Rodriguez Bosman.
That was in 2019. Since then, they have worked hard to make up for lost time as Chrisleann, now, was given up for adoption at birth.
"I did a DNA test, and coincidentally my biological sister did, too, at the same time. I did to find out any history I could," Chrisleann recalled. "I took the Ancestry test and it took a month to come back. My sister did the same at the same time – then she sent me messages on Facebook and was shocked."
Unfortunately, she did not get to reunite with her biological grandparents, who have passed on, but she did find plenty of other relatives – along with her birth mom.

"I found an aunt that I adore and we talk. I'm the oldest of eight – one sister deceased. I'm accepted by three siblings and we text and visit," she said.
And though Zina lives in San Antonio, they are in constant communication.
"She is, in my eyes, my only mother," Chrisleann said. "We probably visit two or times a year, but talk daily if not weekly. She's a big part of my (three) kids' life. She is grandma."
Chrisleann said her reaction to the discovery was "surprise, shock, disbelief and relief."
"The first hug I instantly recognized her smell," Chrisleann said.
Zina had, likewise, been wondering about her daughter all these years, wondering what such a reunion might be like.
"It feels like the missing piece of the puzzle of my life has finally been found. My life is complete," she said.
Chrisleann said it is uncanny how alike she and Zina are even though they did not know each other for three and a half decades.
"We have the same taste in foods, clothes and things. Even the same size and body type," she said.
Zina added that she is proud of the woman her long-lost daughter grew up to be.
"I am very grateful to all the people who took part in her life and raised her to be such a wonderful person," she said. "I felt blessed that she wanted to meet me."

Pot Stickers are a wonderful food that is so delicious served with rice, Chinese noodles, and salad. I have never met a person yet who refuses to eat Pot Stickers. When you visit Chinese restaurants a variety of flavors is offered. Before becoming vegan 7 years ago I adored the Chinese restaurant buffet close to my home. Normally my family and I would go there once or twice a month to eat. Each time you passed by the buffet bar the Pot Stickers pan was always empty. It seems this was the first to go and they were always making more. I sat and watched as the cook came from the back with a fresh pan of Pot Stickers. You would see over half the people eating in the restaurant get up and go to fill their plates with the Pot Stickers.
Now being vegan I make Pot Stickers at home for my family. Instead of using crab, lobster, pork or chicken I made a delicious vegetable Pot Sticker. My recipe will make 26 Pot Stickers. I have to triple this recipe each time I cook Pot Stickers. It seems that even making a triple batch of Pot Sticker there is never enough and my family is always asking for more.
Place mushrooms in medium bowl; cover with warm water. Soak 20 to 40 minutes or until soft. Drain water. Remove mushrooms to cutting board; remove stems and discard. Chop mushrooms and return to bowl.
Place carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, water chestnuts, sesame oil, and soy sauce in large bowl, toss slightly to combine.
Cut 1/2 –inch triangle off each cover of each wonton wrapper so the shape is more rounded. Place about 2 tablespoons vegetable mixture in center of each wrap.
To shape pot stickers; lightly moisten edge of each wonton with water; fold in half. Starting at 1 end pinch edges together making 4 pleats along edge; set pot stickers down firmly, seam side up. Repeat until all filling is used. Cover pot stickers with plastic wrap while shaping remaining pot stickers.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place half of pot stickers in skillet, seam side up. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown.
Add ½ cup vegan vegetable broth to skillet. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 10 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed (15 minutes if pot stickers were frozen). Repeat with remaining vegetable oil, pot stickers and vegan vegetable broth.
Place pot stickers on serving platter and serve with Chinese Dipping Sauce. Garnish with onions.
Combine ¼ cup black soy sauce; 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon dark roasted sesame oil in small bowl.
Pot stickers may be cooked immediately or covered securely and stored in refrigerator up to 4 hours or frozen up to 3-months. To freeze; place pot stickers on cookie sheet; freeze 30 minutes to firm slightly. Remove and place in freezer food storage bag. * Frozen pot stickers do not need to be thawed before cooking.
Julie is a retired school teacher who loves to garden. She has been a vegan for the past 8 years. She enjoys cooking and sharing her vegan recipes with others.
These sound like fun and even yummy. I really like Chinese food. Voted.
Thank you Ms Rachel in Idaho I hope you will try this one soon. They are delicious.
This is very strange. I left a vote for you and a comment and it registered. Now I come back and both of them are gone. You might want to check with your site to see why the votes are disappearing and the comments are not showing up in your post.
Thank you dear. I had a problem this weekend when I came to comment on this site. I have sent an email to the kind lady here that will help me. Thank you so much.
Pot stickers are so good. This recipe looks delicious.

I'm stuck with a problem for a couple of days now and I would need some help please.
Chill suggested me to proceed by elimination to find the bug.
I found out that the problem was from the use of xmlns="native" xmlns:u="zul" xmlns:x="xhtml" in grid element. After I have removed it, it works fine.
Thank you Chill for the support.
As your output show, ZK is calling the toString of the class Client.
Now for the fix, Possible it's copied code from somewhere and I suggest removing the line of the label and retype the line by yourself.
I had in the past also issue with copy/paste where everything looks correct but after doing a full retype it works.
If the problem still exist after this, please try to provide a fiddle example.

Fundamentally, clients of dissertation writing services are those who have examined in graduate college for approximately a 12 months. Folks who are perhaps perhaps perhaps not fortunate with the manager. No body typically informs how exactly to compose a medical work. You should simply compose and that`s it. To call home without working, a graduate pupil can also perhaps perhaps maybe not manage it. It is very difficult for the working individual to locate time, however you don't like to stop. Individuals frequently enter a graduate college, since it had been their parents` request. They by themselves usually do not Really need this degree, because no value is had by it in the commercial.
