This publication summarises the latest Scotland-level data and information on people displaced by the war in Ukraine arriving through the UK 'Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme', which includes those sponsored by the Scottish Government (also known as the Scottish Super Sponsor) and Individual Sponsor. This report gathers together various data sources, including operational data from welcome accommodation teams and local authorities across Scotland, the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) and the Scottish Government (SG). This data includes the number of displaced people from Ukraine that are in welcome accommodation, and, where applicable, the progress on matching displaced people from Ukraine with a host. This data will complement and be published alongside information on the numbers of applications, visas and arrivals of displaced people from Ukraine to Scotland and the other three UK nations, already regularly published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).
This report accompanies the experimental statistics tables on the Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme in Scotland.
This statistical release has been designated as new experimental statistics which has not been assessed by the UK Statistics Authority. Experimental statistics are official statistics that are newly developed or innovative, and are undergoing evaluation.
The Scottish Government are currently conducting a data reconciliation project to gather updates on the checking, matching and availability statuses of expressions of interest shared with local authorities. This record level information will allow us to more confidently calculate the values estimated from the local authority survey. An update on this project will be provided in due course. As a result of this exercise, we have reviewed the Local Authority Survey. The survey has been reduced and no longer includes questions on expressions of interest, private hosts, properties, property and disclosure checks.
This report provides data on visas, arrivals, matches and accommodation. It is not a full account of all displaced people from Ukraine. Displaced people with visas are free to enter the country and live and work where they want. Not everyone entering the UK through the Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme (including those sponsored by the Scottish Government) will need accommodation provided to them. They may make their own arrangements, including renting their own accommodation or staying with friends and family. Some arrivals may have also self-matched with a volunteer host, assisted by a charity or support network. Those arrivals may never be in contact with a welcome hub or local authority seeking accommodation. We do not collect data on this subset of displaced people from Ukraine.
The Scottish Government would like to thank all local authority teams for their contributions to the Scottish Government Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme local authority survey, and their collaboration to ensure the data is up to date and as accurate as possible.
We would also like to recognise the extensive work undertaken by colleagues across all organisations involved in the Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme.

Local families burning rubber in Kart Racing circuit
Racers participate in frequent meets as part of a league championship, and are eligible for a number of national events.
More from Josh Thomas
Published on: April 6, 2019 | Last Updated: April 5, 2019 4:43 PM EDT
Local racers are tearing up the track in the Edmonton and District Kart Racing Association. Supplied
Local racers are tearing it up on the Edmonton and District Kart Racing Association.
For local race enthusiasts, EDKRA was the perfect way to burst onto the scene.
"My family is a racing family. We love to watch races, and one of my dreams has always been to be a racer. I asked my dad if I could start doing that now, so we looked around, gave EDKRA a call, went out to the track and learned about the sport," said 14-year-old racer Ethan Tobin.
The EDKRA is made up of members ranging from seven to 74-years-old, from all corners of Alberta. Racers participate in frequent meets as part of a league championship, and are eligible for a number of national events.
This type of Kart Racing is not to be confused with the indoor Kart Racing you might find at a place like Speeders in Edmonton. These racers mean business.
"There are two stroke and four stroke classes. They are all internal combustion engines, there's none of that electric stuff. Speeds average anywhere from 60 to 80 km/per hour around our track but can reach up to between 110-120 km/per hour," said local racer Nick Wolodko.
Getting started was as easy as visiting the track a few times, and speaking with other racers. From there, both Wolodko and Tobin began looking at used parts, before quickly assembling race ready karts. Wolodko races in the four socket class, capable of reaching max speeds of between 110 and 120 Km per, while Tobin participates in the Junior 2 class.
The club operates out of the Rotax Mojo Raceway in Warburg, 40 minutes southwest of Stony Plain. The track is a 1.1 Kilometre long paved course.
This season, the club will host the fifth annual EDKRA Summer Challenge, as well as the Western Canada Karting Championship from Aug. 11-16.
Wolodko, and Tobin are currently gearing up for another season. Once their rides were assembled, the sport that had been almost entirely foreign a few short months earlier, instantly became a weekly passion.
"It's so much fun. The whole EDKRA is like a family. They really include you. It's almost like going to a family reunion, I can talk to anybody I want, whether that's an adult or a kid, and they'll talk to me with the same respect they would talk to the CEO of a company with," said Tobin.

Q: Can I splice a standard AC power plug onto a 2-pin DIN table lamp cord? I've acquired a table lamp with a 20W 12V bulb (possibly from IKEA?). The cord terminates with a female 2-pin DIN (41529) connector that I do not have an adapter for. Am I correct to assume that it needs an AC adapter to connect to my 120V wall socket, or could I simply splice a standard wall plug in place if the DIN connector?

A: DIN41259

(AKA DIN loudspeaker connector)
is not suited for line voltage, so yeah that lamp wants 12V on that connector, a 12V supply capable of 12V and 1800mA or more should be used here instead.

A: Don't do this. If the bulb is rated at 12V it will burn/explode.
I would never connect anything to the mains unless it is designed to do so it's not worth the risk.
See if you can track down the missing adapter, if not throw it away.

A: NO AC PLUG, it almost certainly takes a 12V adapter. Is the plug polarized? (or is it symmetrical?).  You probably also need to determine if it is AC or DC (although an AC bulb probably would be fine on DC, but NOT the other way around!).
Do this by examining the bulb for printed ratings, or a model number for the fixture. See if you can find any information online. Also beware if the socket could take a larger wattage bulb, to insure you don't change a bulb out in the future that overloads the adapter. (See if there is a sticker in the hood stating 'maximum bulb size xxx', and get an adapter big enough for that wattage [volts x amps = watts]).
You will also need enough power (adapter rating) so the adapter won't burn out or catch fire, as Jasen advised above!
12V @ 20W bulb will draw about 1.66Amps, so like Jasen said, a 12V adapter rated around 1800mA to 2 Amps [2000mA]. This will be a larger sized adapter, say 4" long, not the small ones.

In preparation for the onset of auto-enrolment, Arla made changes to its pension schemes. With DC for all employees for the future on offer, complete transparency around what the changes really meant for members was central as they consulted on closing the two remaining DB arrangements to future accrual.
Arla recognised that good communication would be central to the successful delivery of both the changes and the auto-enrolment that followed.
The aim was to provide a central hub for members to access all the information they needed. The microsite used in the changes consultation was re-purposed to deliver tools to help guide employee's auto-enrolment decisions, driving them to more active and informed choices in their retirement planning.
Arla recognised that auto-enrolment provided them with an opportunity to increase understanding and appreciation of pensions amongst employees. A campaign approach directed employees to the microsite, allowing a 'one stop shop' for employee pension information and a gateway to their personal information held by L&G.
AHC came up with some great design concepts. The posters were well thought through, and really stood out on site; they became a great talking point with employees which meant that members were engaged early on. The communications were clear and well-written and the website was a 'one-stop' area containing vital information. The result was a much lower opt out rate than we had expected!

Oste-klassen er den tyske flådes efterretningsskibe til signalefterretning.

Skibenes opgave består i hovedtræk i at befinde sig i nærheden af andre landes flådestyrker og optage deres transmissioner af forskellig slags, eksempelvis radar-, sonar- eller radiokommunikation. Ved at måle parametrene for disse transmissioner er det muligt at bestemme deres anvendelighed, samt muligvis at genkende de enkelte skibsklasser eller skibe på baggrund af deres distinkte udsendelser. Man aflytter også flere kommunikationslinier, hvorved man kan få et overblik over procedurer, samt hvor godt de forskellige enheder arbejder sammen. Alt i alt er man i stand til at få en god fornemmelse af, hvor godt disse landes flådestyrker arbejder sammen. Skibenes lidt underlige form skyldes de mange specielle sensorer, samt mulighederne for at måle nøjagtigt på forskellige frekvensbånd.

Oste-klassen hører organisatorisk under 2. Ubådseskadre (1. Unterseebootgeschwader), som hører til i Egernførde

Skibene er designet til civile standarder og er derfor et af de mere komfortable at befinde sig på – set fra besætningens synspunkt.

Йозеф Антониус (Джон) ван ден Бром (; ) — нидерландский футболист, завершивший игровую карьеру. Ныне тренер.

Клубная карьера
Джон ван ден Бром начал свою карьеру в юношеском клубе АПВК из своего родного города Амерсфорта, позже выступал за «Квик 1890».

В 1986 году ван ден Бром перешёл в «Витесс» из города Арнем. Дебют состоялся в матче второго нидерландского дивизиона против «Эйндховена», матч завершился победой «Витесса» 3:1. За семь сезонов за «Витесс» ван дер Бром провёл 225 матчей и забил 80 мячей.

В 1993 году Джон перешёл в амстердамский «Аякс». В составе «Аякса» Джон провёл два сезона, сыграв 44 матча и забив 7 мячей. В сезонах 1993/94 и 1994/95 ван ден Бром становился чемпионом Нидерландов.

В 1995 году Джон подписывает контракт сроком на один год с турецким клубом «Истанбулспор». В чемпионате Турции сезона 1995/96 ван дер Бром провёл 22 матча и забил три мяча, а его клуб финишировал на 13 месте в чемпионате.

Завершив выступления в Турции, вернулся в Нидерланды и стал игроком своего бывшего клуба «Витесс». В «Витессе» провёл пять сезонов. Из «Витесса» перешёл в клуб «Де Графсхап» из города Дутинхем. В «Де Графсхапе» не был игроком основного состава, за три года он провёл 42 матча и забил 2 мяча. В 2003 году завершил игровую карьеру.

Карьера в сборной
За национальную сборную Нидерландов ван ден Бром провёл два матча. Дебют состоялся 19 декабря 1990 года в матче против сборной Мальты, матч завершился разгромом Мальты со счётом 8:0. Второй и последний матч за сборную провёл против сборной Сан-Марино 24 марта 1993 года, нидерландцы одержали крупную победу со счётом 6:0. В двух матчах за сборную Джон отметился одним забитым мячом.

Тренерская карьера
После завершения игровой карьеры Джон остался в «Де Графсхапе» и стал скаутом клуба, подыскивая молодых игроков для клуба. Скаутскую работу в «Де Графсхапе» Джон совмещал с тренерскими обязанностями, так как был тренером любительского клуба «Беннеком».

24 апреля 2004 года Джон стал тренером детской команды «Аякса». Молодёжка «Аякса» в сезоне 2005/06 участвовала в розыгрыше Кубка Нидерландов. В одной из игр случился казус. Так, в матче второго раунда против «Камбюра», который состоялся 20 сентября 2005 года, Ян Вертонген забил довольно курьёзный гол. Всё началось с того, что игрок «Аякса» Дерк Бурригтер получил травму и остался лежать на поле. Игроки «Камбюра», следуя правилам «честной игры», выбили мяч в аут. После оказания пострадавшему медицинской помощи Вертонген должен был вернуть мяч «Камбюру», однако Ян перестарался и с 50 метров отправил мяч по высокой дуге прямо в дальнюю девятку ворот «Камбюра». Таким образом «Аякс» повёл в матче 3:0, но сразу после гола тренер молодёжки «Аякса» попросил свою команду пропустить гол, и нападающий «Камбюра»  просто закатил мяч в ворота «Аякса». В итоге «Аякс» всё же обыграл «Камбюр» со счётом 3:1, один мяч за амстердамцев забил Нурдин Бухари, а дублем отметился герой матча Вертонген.

Три года спустя в 2007 году стал главным тренером клуба АГОВВ.

С мая 2010 главный тренер клуба АДО Ден Хааг из города Гаага.

В 2012 году возглавил бельгийский «Андерлехт». В марте 2014 года покинул команду. В сентябре 2014 года подписал контракт с АЗ

I learned all the things by myself but was actually not that thorough, and I really need your help...

A: The KeyError is coming from the Pyomo "NL writer" (it translates your model into an AMPL NL file that the ipopt solver can read and optimize.  The specific cause is that your model has constraints that reference objects other than Vars, Params and native constants (in particular, you have DerivativeVar and Integral objects).  This is admittedly a poor error message, and has been resolved by a rewrite of the NL writer (available in Pyomo >= 6.4.2, but will not become the default until 6.5).
You can resolve the error by transforming your model from a DAE into an NLP before sending it to a solver.  There are several transformations available; see the DAE extension documentation for more information and examples.


In the samples I have taken there are a variety of algae, protozoa, and animals that I have not been able to identify. In many cases I wasn't able to observe them in enough detail, or the key features are not visible in a living specimen. In others, though, I simply don't know which characters to look for or the range of possibilities.
The following images are the ones I think are most likely to be recognizable by someone more familiar with the groups in question. Many others are listed in the samples. If you have any insights on these, or think any additional notes on them might be helpful, I would be grateful to hear from you.
Since the idea of species is still developing in many groups, I usually only bother with identification as far as genera. However, in cases where these vary from older to newer sources – Chilodonella, Coleps, Synedra, and so on – it would be helpful to have a rough idea which species I might have seen.

Faith-based housing opens for UNF students
Frasatti Newman Hall: "More than just a place to stay…it's a way of life."
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – "More than just a place to stay…it's a way of life." That's the selling point of a new student housing center on Jacksonville's Southside.
Frasatti Newman Hall opened in August, offering college students with a spiritual compass a place to stay. Located off Alumni Way, near the Town Center, this faith-based housing complex is hoping to change the lives of Jacksonville students.
"I did live on campus freshman year. It was great, but housing here is different because you really do know everyone here I've already made so many friends people I didn't even know," said UNF senior & Frasatti Hall employee, Jenelle Vinachi.
Frassati Hall is a brand new student housing complex near the Town Center, not far from UNF, FSCJ and other Jacksonville campuses. What makes this place special is that it is faith based.
"We obviously don't discriminate here. Some people here, yes are religious. Some people are not. It's not a requirement, it's just the fact that you kind of have to respect the fact that this is faith based housing," said Carter Johnson, the General Manager at Frasatti Hall.
Whether Christian, Jewish, Catholic or not religious at all, Jenelle and complex manager, Carter Johnson encourage all college students in the Jacksonville area to come take a look.
"We just want to create the serious academic atmosphere for everybody and hope that we can create a community that is great," said Johnson.
With a courtyard, game rooms, Wi-Fi and computer access -- and not to mention luxurious one, two and four bedroom apartments -- as long as you're a college student looking to promote and achieve strong values and academics, there's a spot for you at Frasatti Hall.
"We do have some spaces left for the Fall so we do have availability with our staff of five on site. They are available 24 hours a day to the students and it's a mixture of students from all different campuses in Jacksonville- whether it be UNF, FSCJ, Florida Coastal, any of those," said Johnson.
We spoke with some UNF students on campus who hadn't heard of the new faith based housing. They say they think it's a good idea and something they will look into.
"A lot of people when they come to college they kind of fall behind with their faith and I think having it at their house thing where they live near sanctuary will be better for them and it will make them stronger," said Latoya Chambers, a sophomore at UNF.
A priest, ministry team, bible studies and retreats are just a few of the faith based activities that are offered. They are there for the students if they are interested - they're not required. For more information, visit www. frassatihall.com or call their office: 904-516-8140.

We currently have duplicated functionality for the mmu_memory_cache used
to pre-allocate memory for the page table manipulation code which cannot
allocate memory while holding spinlocks.  This functionality is
duplicated across x86, arm/arm64, and mips.

There were recently a debate of modifying the arm code to be more in
line with the x86 code and some discussions around changing the page
flags used for allocation.  This series should make it easier to take a
uniform approach across architectures.

While there's not a huge amount of code sharing, we come out with a net
gain.

Only tested on arm/arm64, and only compile-tested on x86 and mips.

Christoffer Dall (3):

  KVM: arm/arm64: Move to common kvm_mmu_memcache infrastructure

Creatine is one of the few dietary supplements that have a very solid scientific support for its efficacy in increasing strength, explosive performance, and muscle mass. So the question in not whether it is effective, but rather how to supplement it to reap maximal effectiveness? Does creatine need to be fully dissolved for you to get most benefits?
According to Will Brink, If creatine not dissolves, it will not absorb. It basically goes through you and is also more likely to cause stomach problems. So dumping Creatine into a cold protein shake is not always the best idea of Creatine Supplementation.
Surely this video raises a controversial question. Does creatine need to be fully dissolved for you to get most benefits? British sports scientists at University College Chichester discovered this answer over ten years ago. Strength athletes who dissolve their creatine in fluid react a little better to the supplement than athletes who take their creatine in powder or any other form.
Does it actually make any difference if you dissolve creatine – in whatever form – or not?
According to the Brits it does. They gave five test subjects a dose of 2.3 g creatine on three different occasions. On one occasion the researchers dissolved the creatine in 250 ml water at 30 degrees Celsius [solution]; on another occasion they dissolved the powder in a glass of iced water [the water was so cold that the creatine hardly dissolved] [suspension] and on a third occasion they mixed powdered creatine with ground up sweets [lozenge].
When the researchers examined the blood of their test subjects they saw that the creatine concentration was highest after they had ingested creatine in solution.
During the six hours that they monitored the blood of their test subjects, the researchers measured 20 percent more creatine after the subjects had drunk creatine that had dissolved than after they had drunk the solution.
Does Dissolving Creatine Depend on Temperature?
The table shows the temperature at which different quantities of creatine dissolve in 1 L water.
The more acid a solution, the more creatine you can dissolve in it. This idea lies behind the many interesting forms of creatine that are available on the market: add an acidifier (and sell the result as creatine citrate, creatine malate or creatine pyruvate) and you'll increase the solubility and your body will absorb the creatine better, the theory goes.

Your golf play will never be complete without a golf swing. It is one of the most basic and an essential golf skill you need to learn and master with a lot of practice. Like any sports that incorporate swinging, golf swing is a blow or stroke executed with a sweeping motion of the arm. There are different stages of a golf swing. It is important to identify each phase to know at exactly what stage of the swing you should exert the maximum force. Using too much strength too early or too late will double the figures of your handicap.
How you stand up to the golf ball is critical to how you execute the other elements of the swing. At the address, you should have your legs as wide as your shoulders and your weight evenly distributed between both sides of your body. Stand erect, and maintaining that posture, squat vertically until your knees are slightly bent. Raise your club to a horizontal position, then bend from the waist, tilt your upper torso forward and put your club on the ground while keeping your arms straight. Regardless of the length of your club, where your clubhead lands on the ground is the proper position of the golf ball. Finally, do not grip your club so tightly that you create tension in your arms or the rest of your body.
Takeaway also called as the takeoff is the starting point of a shot. After proper set up, this is where to start the swing, a trigger mechanism to get started. Waggling is a small wiggle of the club head to get the swing going. Others move the hands forward just a few degrees and then take the club back.
Backswing is also known as the upswing which involves the congruent movement of the shoulders, arms and hips. Roll the hips to the rear and then allow the shoulders and arms to follow. Roll the hips as far back as you can comfortably go and bring the arms back until the hands are at shoulder heights. both shoulders and hips as you take the club back. At the top of your backswing, your shoulders ideally should have turned so that your left is underneath your right and your hips have rotated about half that much. The forearms and the shaft of your club should resemble the letter "L" when at the top of the upswing. Progress is made if the club is pointed at the target and it is parallel to the ground due to the hinging of the wrists.
Downswing is the most important phase of the golf swing because this is where contact with the ball occurs. The key to this phase is the hip movement. The key to being successful in the downswing is to keep the speed of the swing consistent. Many golfers tend to slow down in this area because they fear making mistakes. Move your weight from the right to the left side. Keep the wrists cocked until the club is about parallel to the ground then release as you approach the moment of impact. The body should rotate on an axis and the head should remain in the same position for the entire golf shot.
Continue the swing through the golf ball. Make sure that the club goes toward the target and finish with the club at shoulder height before getting anxious to see the results of the shot.
Turn right, turn left. Repeat. Done.
So far....etiquette(s) and golf swing theory.
OB and Tol will be all over this.
So you're standing on one leg?
Actually ..... sorry, I don't think you have a leg to stand on.
Before you get my interest, you will need to articulate the hidden movements that create the movements described in your post.
The issue here is that feel is not real. If we try to copy the movements that we can all see (those you have listed) then most of us will get it wrong. The only individuals who will come close are those naturally gifted athletes (1 in 5,000 golfers).
The golf swing is really quite simple, like shelling peas,for those players who understand how their mind and body needs to work. The rest look at the swing in similar terms to the opening post in this thread.
good day to everyone sorry for not getting back,what i am selling is information and i just want to help some people that want to know more about golfing. As I am a student as well and i want to share some of the articles I wrote from my research and experiences. I am George Cooper by the way and i don't mean to offend guys.

Watch Derek Jeter's Eloquent Speech When Yankees Retire His Number
Townsquare Staff
Derek Jeter is just as smooth with words as he was chasing down a ball in the hole.
The future Hall of Famer had his number 2 jersey retired by the Yankees in a ceremony Sunday evening and gave a stirring, heartfelt speech in front of a fired-up Yankee Stadium crowd, which included many former teammates. Number 2 is definitely number in their hearts.
The five-time World Series champion, who was the linchpin for those great late '90s and early 2000s Yankees teams, nailed his speech, which is even more impressive when you consider he had no notes.
Is there nothing this guy can't do? It makes you wonder how off the charts his speech will be when he's inducted into Cooperstown in a few years.

Denzel Washington being lined up to play Green Lantern?
Andy Welch Dec 30, 2013 5:46 pm GMT
Credit: PA
Oscar-winner reportedly in talks to appear in Superman sequel 'Man Of Steel 2'
Denzel Washington is reportedly in talks to play superhero Green Lantern in Man of Steel 2.
According to Ace Showbiz, the Oscar-winner would take over the role from Safe House co-star Ryan Reynolds who played the Hal Jordan version of the DC Comics favourite in the disappointing 2011 film. With a sequel still not in the works and looking more unlikely, and DC eager to get their Justice League film off the ground, it looks as if another Green Lantern, the John Stewart version, will be introduced in 2015's Superman sequel Man Of Steel 2, or Superman Vs Batman as some are calling it.
Initially it was thought Washington was being approached to play Lex Luthor, although reports now state Joaquin Phoenix has been approached to play a younger version of Superman's nemesis. It's also expected Matrix star Laurence Fishburne will return to play Daily Globe editor Perry White.
300 and Watchmen director Zack Snyder is returning to helm the Man of Steel sequel, which has a release date of July 17, 2015. Henry Cavill and Amy Adams will reprise their roles as Superman and Lois Lane respectively, while Ben Affleck has joined the cast as Batman, despite an internet petition to stop it happening. Snyder has also confirmed model and Fast & Furious star Gal Gadot will be playing Wonder Woman, paving the way for a full Justice League film to follow a year or two after the Superman sequel.

CASE NAME: Skoda Kovarny v. B. van Dijk Jr. Staalhandelmaatschappij B.V.
B. VAN DIJK JR. STAALHANDELMAATSCHAPPIJ B.V. [*], a limited liability company under Dutch law, acting under the name Van Dijk Staal, seated in Arnhem, The Netherlands, with office in Heteren, municipality Overbetuwe, hereinafter [Buyer], Respondent in main claim, Claimant in (conditional) counterclaim, proxy Mr. J.C.N.B. Kaal, attorney Mr. H.C.M. van Haastert, from Arnhem, The Netherlands.
A decision will be handed down.
1. The Court holds to the finding of its decision of 1 March 2006. In that judgment, [Buyer] was given the possibility to file further documents related to the compensation requested for loss suffered (ibid. loss item sub II) and loss of prospective profit (ibid. loss item sub III).
The compensation concerns damages [Buyer]'s customers have suffered since they were forced to conduct cover purchases as a result of [Seller]'s non-delivery.
2. As [Seller] terminated the orders already confirmed, the [Buyer]'s customers had to order steel elsewhere (than from [Buyer]) for a higher price, for which they now request to be compensated. [Buyer] asserted that it was facing claims in the amount of 226,599.97 EURO and filed the documents named in the decision of 1 March 2006 under paras. 19(a) to (g) to support its position.
Upon [Seller]'s request (see para. 21 of last interim judgment), [Buyer] was ordered to forward the files the letters in paras. 19 (a) to (c) and (e) to (g) were based on, i.e., the orders of the customers to the suppliers and the respective order confirmations.
3. [Buyer] failed to do so. The reason [Buyer] gave is that its customers were all only "stockpiling" traders, who do not buy steel for specific projects, which means that these customers would continuously supervise their stock and as stock is reduced, they would refill it (weekly) in response to continuing sales. Since many months passed between placement of their orders to the [Buyer] (which then placed an order to the [Seller]) and the avoidance of the contract by the [Seller], the specification and amount of steel bought in replacement for the avoided orders cannot be (completely) determined due to permanent sale out of stock. However, [Buyer] asserted that the fact that the customers conducted their business regularly, demonstrated that they were "definitely" forced to buy the amount of steel missing elsewhere due to termination by the [Seller] -- facing a market price -- at a far higher price.
4. As discussed in the last interim judgment, it is very likely that the [Buyer]'s customers had to conduct cover purchases, but it is not certain. Also, since [Buyer] filed the letters named in the interim judgment under para. 19, which show that [Buyer]s customers charged [Buyer] the costs for concrete cover purchases (defined amounts of steel at defined prices), the Court asked [Buyer], upon request by [Seller], to bring forward those documents the letters are based on. It may well be true that [Buyer]'s customers are only "stockpiling" traders -- by the way, this is the first time [Buyer] brought forward this argument -- but it is incomprehensible why they are not able to file any document showing which steel was bought in which amount for which -- higher -- price in the period after termination of the orders. It is also very likely that if [Buyer] were charged for the customers' damages, [Buyer] would have demanded to see such documents to verify the claims. The fact that [Buyer] failed to file the documents related to the cover purchases is, from this point of view, unfathomable.
The very fact that the customers are "stockpiling" traders, as [Buyer] alleged and as laid down in para. 3, does not justify assuming that the customers "definitely" had to conduct cover purchases. There is still the possibility that such traders let their amount in stock "fluctuate" for various reasons (e.g., the price, the demand for steel, the financial position of the company itself, etc.) to have on one moment a larger amount of steel in stock than in another. Thus it cannot be excluded that [Buyer]'s customers did not or did not want to compensate terminated orders by cover purchases at all.
5. The conclusion is that [Buyer] failed to substantiate that its customers have performed purchases in replacement. Also, [Buyer] did not file any facts or circumstances for the other allegations, which could probably, if proven, lead to another decision. Thus, there is no room for any motion to take evidence. As a result, [Buyer]'s claim regarding this issue has to be rejected. Hence, there is also no need to discuss [Seller]'s arguments on this point.
This damage concerns [Buyer]'s prospective loss of profit on the basis that customers stopped doing business with [Buyer] as a result of [Seller]'s breach of contract and non-delivery.
6. [Buyer] fixed the damages at one year of lost profit based on figures for the years 2001 and 2002.
7. The Court held in the last interim judgment (see paras. 24 to 27) that [Buyer] substantiated with exhibits 12 and 13 that customers Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann stopped trading with [Buyer] since [Buyer] could not deliver the steel as a result of [Seller]'s termination of its contract with [Buyer]. [Seller] was ordered to compensate the resulting damages "as far as they concern customers Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann".
8. This is a definite decision on which the Court must not rule again, unless there are circumstances that indicate that it would be unacceptable for the Court to abide by that decision (HR [*] 14 December 2001 NJ [*] 2002, 57).
[Buyer] also asserted that customers other than Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann did not want to do business with it anymore, but they were not willing to send a letter for confirmation. However, [Buyer] alleged that the fact that business was stopped can also be deduced from the fact that the customers had frequently been doing business with [Buyer], but after the termination of orders by [Seller], they placed no more orders at all with the [Buyer].
This allegation is not a circumstance in the sense named above. It remains unconsidered that the customers could lay the business relation with [Buyer] idle (also) for other reasons. However, it is true, as [Buyer] alleges, that the Court did not discuss the letter of customer Wittfeld to [Buyer] of 4 February 2004 (see interim judgment para. 13) but, in contrast to [Buyer]'s assertion, this letter does not lead to the conclusion that Wittfeld did not want to deal anymore with [Buyer] because of [Seller]'s contract breach. To the contrary, in this letter, Wittfeld simply asked [Buyer] to perform orders which were placed earlier (seemingly in 2002).
9. [Seller], in its last memorandum, challenged [Buyer]'s assertion that [Buyer]'s customers, among those customers Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann, stopped placing orders after March 2003. Further, [Seller] stated again that [Buyer] could have avoided this loss by simply paying compensation for damages to the customers. Both arguments were already brought forward by [Seller] at an earlier point of time in the proceeding. The Court already held in the interim judgment (see para. 27) that this argument fails. This was also a definite decision on which the Court need not rule again, unless the circumstances named above are at hand.
are insufficient to lead to a different finding by the Court. This leads to the result that [Seller]'s arguments fail. Thus there is no need to rule again on the decision (s.a. para. 6).
10. Hence, the amount of lost prospective profit due to cancellation of business contact by customers Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann, has to be determined. For this purpose, [Buyer] was asked to file a schedule of sales to those customers for the years 2001 to 2004 along with all documents relating to the sales (probably consolidated), that show which amount of steel was sold for which price and further which profit was made.
11. [Buyer] forwarded a schedule showing steel sales to its customers (among them Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann), see exhibits 19, 20. The schedule demonstrates how much steel was sold and delivered to Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann (among others) during the period January 2001 until March 2003. Further, the schedule gives notice about the sale and resale prices of the steel, costs for each transaction and the profit gained from those transactions. The documents in relation with the schedule were filed as exhibit 21.
12. [Seller] did not challenge the schedule and documents in relation with [Buyer]'s transactions with Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann regarding the amount of steel and the sale and resale prices. Thus, their correctness can be assumed. However, [Seller] noted that the schedule "states without detailed declaration the margin of the sales" and that "the costs inferred from the transactions are insufficiently traceable."
The Court does not follow [Seller]'s argument. As laid down in the interim judgment of 1 March 2006 in "loss item sub I" ([Buyer]'s loss of profit due to non-delivery of steel to customers as a result of [Seller]'s termination of orders), the costs consist of transport and general (overhead) costs. The Court has already ruled that [Buyer]'s reckonings are the basis to determine the transport costs. In [Buyer]'s exhibit 7, the costs for transportation of steel were labeled "shipping costs" amounting to 27.29 EURO per ton on the part of Stahlschmidt and 26.04 EURO per ton on the part of Hoselmann.
The documents now forwarded show the overall costs. The transport costs can thus be calculated by simply multiplying the amount of steel sold with 27.29 EURO or 26.04 EURO per ton. The remaining sum is consequently general/overhead costs. Hence, it cannot be assumed that the calculation of costs filed by [Buyer] is insufficiently traceable. Also, the margin per transaction can be estimated by deducting purchase price and costs from the resale price. Since [Buyer] forwarded specific data for each transaction, [Seller]'s sole denial of the figures concerning costs and margin is inadequate. [Seller] had to make clear which specific costs in the documents filed by [Buyer] were wrong and why. Since [Seller] did not do so, [Buyer]'s schedule is, as insufficiently disputed, to be used as the basis for calculation of damages. The schedule and documents demonstrate that [Buyer] suffered loss of prospective profit (in relation to customers Stahlschmidt and Hoselmann) in the amount of 68,051.00 EURO per year averaged in the period of January 2001 until March 2003. This sum can therefore be awarded to [Buyer].
13. [Seller]'s point that the claim has to be rejected since Czech Law does not foresee compensation for lost prospective profit determined by figures of past years, fails, since the claim has to be judged by the rules of the CISG. Art. 74 CISG provides that lost profit as a result of breach of contract also has to be compensated in the amount, which the party in breach foresaw or ought to have foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract as a possible consequence of the breach of contract. The Court already held in the interim judgment (see para. 27) that it was, in the circumstances [Seller] sketched, foreseeable for [Seller] that [Buyer] would lose prospective profit, since its business contacts with its customers were disturbed by the [Seller]'s termination of orders.
14. As a result of the aforesaid and the interim judgment of 1 March 2006, [Buyer]'s appeal to set-off is successful to the amount of (104,800.96 EURO + 68,051.00 EURO =) 172,851.96 EURO. With reference to this point, [Seller] invoked that the prerequisites for a set-off under Czech Law were not met. However, in the interim judgment, the Court ruled in para. 6 on why set-off is possible in this case. [Seller] did not introduce any facts or circumstances which would lead to another finding.
15. Concerning the request for payment of interest, the Court rules as follows: In its last memorandum, [Seller] alleged, in contrast to its statement in summoning, that [Buyer] was in arrears with payment of invoices concerning the main claim since 18 April 2003. [Seller] did not forward any documents to prove this allegation. [Seller]'s offer to do that now has to be rejected. It can be expected from a party relying on written documents that it forwards the documents immediately and does not merely offer to do so. It contravenes the principle of a good proceeding to give [Seller] the possibility to substantiate its position at this point in the proceeding. This means that the date since which [Buyer] is in arrears cannot be determined. Thus the day of summoning is decisive to calculate the interest to be awarded.
[Buyer] did not request judicial interest for the payment of compensation.
16. The conclusion is that [Seller]'s claim is founded up to an amount of (263,058.80 EURO - 172,851.96 EURO =) 90,206.84 EURO, plus judicial interest since 8 April 2005 until payment.
17. [Seller]'s request for extrajudicial costs in the amount of 4,000.00 EURO has to be dismissed. [Buyer] challenged that those costs accumulated to collect the claim; [Buyer] received only one letter from [Seller]. It would have been [Seller]'s duty to prove which efforts caused these costs and what kind of costs accumulated that they are not compensated by a decision on the costs of the proceeding. As [Seller] did not forward anything on this issue to support its position, this part of the claim has to be rejected.
18. Hence, it follows from the aforesaid that [Buyer]'s counterclaim has to be dismissed, as far as its request can be set-off with [Seller]'s claim.
19. Since the [Seller] is basically the party that filed the unsuccessful main claim, the [Seller] bears the costs of that proceeding, besides the costs for the arrest in rem against [Buyer], as this arrest was obtained taking into account all judicial formalities and terms. However, [Seller] still has a claim against [Buyer], thus the arrest is valid. Hence, [Buyer] bears the costs for the arrest. As [Buyer] filed the unsuccessful counterclaim it bears the costs of that proceeding.
- [Buyer]'s claim is rejected.

Graciela Jasa Silveira is the 2014-2015 Gordon F. Henderson Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Ottawa. In 2013, Graciela received her Doctor of Civil Law degree from McGill University. Her thesis examined the comparative law implications of implementing women's rights in cohabitation and divorce law in both Mexico and Quebec. Her research discovered previously unknown connections between the two regions regarding how family law is governed, while highlighting the need for further theoretical inquiry into the unwritten canons of comparative family law and how scholars have presented the evolution of women's family law rights.
Graciela´s research focuses on the interactions between the different normative levels, with specific attention to federalism and implementation of international law in the areas of family and environmental law. In the coming year, Graciela intends to examine the strategies used by both Canada and Mexico to implement human rights obligations into the family law sphere. In particular, she will look at how international law is received, where the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) falls in the hierarchy of the domestic legal system, and the relevance of the division of federal and provincial/state jurisdiction. The project will investigate whether family law reform is helped or hindered by the way human rights norms are integrated into a society. The results of Graciela's research will be geared toward advancing bilateral policy efforts between Mexico and Canada to address these issues.
In the past, Graciela held positions as a tenured Law professor at the Universidad de Sonora in Hermosillo, Mexico where she taught private and public international law. She has also been has also served as a consultant with the Commission for Environmental Cooperation and on international family law matters.

Q: Programming in vpython, vpython doesb't react at code I want to make a program that shows the da vinci tower in vpython and I think I got the right code to rotate the floors each in a sequence like in the da vinci tower. But vpython doesn't respond. What I'm I doing wrong? Can someone please help?
from visual import *
from math import *
scene.autocenter=True

print "Give the desired square meters per floor:"
SquareMeters= int(raw_input());
side=sqrt(SquareMeters)
print "Give the desired height of the tower in meters"
demandedHeight= int(raw_input());
totalFloors = demandedHeight/3;
carryingStructure= cylinder(pos=(0,-1,0), axis=(0,demandedHeight,0), radius=10)
height=0;
floors=[]

v=frame()
while height < demandedHeight:
    f = box(frame=v,pos=(0,height,0),size=(side,3,side))
    floors.append(f)
    height += 3.5
    f
print totalFloors;

for floorNr in range(len(floors)):
    floor = floors[floorNr]
    floor.rotate(angle=0.01*floorNr, axis=(0,1,0), origin=(0,0,0))

A: It's not that vpython is not responding, if you zoom into your cylinder, you'll see that the floors are contained inside it. You need to make your floors bigger and also your angle 0.01*floorNr is very small. I'd try 0.1*floorNr.
Also, in python you don't put semicolons at the end of lines.

Q: How do I convert a .FITS into a numpy array (or a file that can be used in Python)? I'm trying to train an AI algorithm to determine photometric redshifts of galaxies, and to do so I have a .FITS file which contains the training data. I need to convert this .FITS file into a format which can be manipulated easily in Python, specifically a numpy array. I have already tried using astropy and followed the below youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goH9yXu4jWw
however, when I attempt to convert the file and then inspect the data type, it is still a .FITS file and not a numpy array. If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated!
import astropy.io
from astropy.io import fits

truth_north = fits.open('dr9_pz_truth_north.fits')

data = truth_north[1].data

A:
... when I print type(data) it gives astropy.io.fits.fitsrec.FITS_rec

FITS_rec is a sub-class of numpy.recarray -see https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/io/fits/api/tables.html#fits-rec, which says

It inherits all of the standard methods from numpy.ndarray.

So in effect data is a numpy array - any method that works on numpy arrays should work on $data$, and the FITS_rec class may provide some additional methods as well.
Note that the original file has not been changed by this in any way - you program has simply opened the file (probably read-only by default) and created an internal representation of the data that it contains.


What are the Benefits of Family Sculpture?
Demonstrating KST in an agency's staff retreat.
Julie Thorsheim, ACSW, of KST Associates, provides consultation and training in representational family sculpting and other interactive techniques to contribute to skills development of professional social service personnel and mental health clinicians in both the public and private sector, including community mental health agencies and private practice.
Following one such Clinical Training Seminar, Dr. Wayne Ehrisman, Chief Psychologist, wrote Thorsheim saying, "I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your presentation on the Kvebaek Family Sculpting Technique at Southwest Mental Health Center two weeks ago.
Your presentation was very informative regarding the clinical and theoretical foundations of this technique, and your style of presentation and skillful use of case material provided clear illustrations regarding how it can be applied in clinical practice." He called the presentation "a breath of fresh air." From his perspective as a clinical professor in the Department of Psychiatry at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, he wrote of the importance of renewing an emphasis on knowledge and training in family systems theory and therapy in current child training programs in departments of Psychology and Psychiatry.

While I have never been arrested, I have had some strange experiences. Once with a couple of $1 coins I had a clerk at a fast food joint not sure if it was money. It's a pretty bad comentary on our schools that this could happen.


Exhaust manifolds - it's a wrap!
The exhaust manifolds on the S cars are quite different to the 8v. As I'm fitting the later versions I wanted to cover them in heat wrap before installing.
After soaking the heat wrap in water, it was simply a matter of winding it around the manifolds - I used a 5m length for each.
The ends are secured with stainless steel ties - I found using a vice grip made it easier to tighten them up.
Getting the manifolds in place proved to be impossible until I lifted the right hand side of the engine with an engine hoist - so it tipped towards the opposite side of the car. Loosen the engine mount bolts on the right hand side! I attached the engine hoist loop from the alternator bracket using the threaded hole for the water return rail.
But before fitting it into the engine bay it was attached to it's nice freshly powdered alternator bracket!
Then, and only then, did it seem right to fit it!
It's looking good in there!
This is the most exciting bit so far - finally dropping in the engine. It's a Milestone celebrated with some champagne!
With the engine on the hoist, it was time to do the final prep in the bay - I removed the radiator to make a little extra space, and decided that things would be so much easier with the bonnet off too - an extra pair of hands made that a simple task (I marked it's position for ease of reassembly)...the underside of the hood needs some attention so it's much easier to do that with it off.
I secured the rerouted wiring harness so as to avoid any damage from the nicely cleaned engine mount brackets - clean parts rule!
New belts, rollers and tensioners - and colourful pulleys!
It seems like the end is insight now with the front end rebuilt and refreshed!
After resealing the balance shafts the next task was to fit the new rollers and belts. Firstly all the new rollers were easily bolted up and torqued down. I sourced most of the parts from GSF.
Be sure to fit the splined insert correctly or the washer and gear won't sit flush with the oil pump, then gently tap the key back into the recess on the crankshaft. I smoothed mine of with a small file to remove the burs.
Remove the gear from the oven and slide to onto the crankshaft - a little lube helps this fitting process too.
With the crankshaft gear fitted the rest goes on fairly straightforward.
When I removed the bell housing on this engine, there was evidence of a leak from the rear main seal.
Which I sent off to have lightened and balanced along with the pressure plate. With the flywheel removed you get access to the rear of the crankshaft with the main seal and pilot bearing into which the drive shaft is inserted.
There's a small rectangular recess at the bottom of the seal below the crankshaft - there was oil in there which lead me to believe that's where the leak was originating from. Reading various sources about rear main seal leaks and fitting replacements, it appears to me that the reason this particular one was leaking was because the seal it's self wasn't seated against the machined surface behind it, leaving a small gap for oil to escape from, primarily from the small rectangular hole. That's my theory.


The Savoy: London's most sustainable luxury hotel'?
One-third of the slate used in the Industrial Revolution came from within a mile of a small B&B in Blaenau Ffestiniog, inside Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. We drove a Tesla Model S to visit the Bryn Elltyd eco-guesthouse to find out more about how the area's transformed to become a dream destination for green thrill-seekers.
Only a handful of the mines in the area are operational today; the slate industry was hit badly in the first world war and Blaenau Ffestiniog, which had relied on exports to Germany, was hit particularly badly. Following a recovery fuelled by the post-war demand for new houses, the outbreak of the second world war led to a severe drop in trade.
But the cavernous mines had other uses which, as well as bringing extra income and jobs to the area, have cemented Blaenau Ffestiniog's reputation as an outdoor adventurer's paradise.
The warren-like structures of the Manod (Cwt-y-Bugail) mine at Blaenau Ffestiniog are so expansive that treasures from the National Gallery and the Tate were hidden inside for safeguarding during the war. A few years ago, Zip World recognised the potential of these hidden gems and leased the caverns of a nearby mine, Llechwedd, in an extension of its adventure experiences in the area.
The slate caverns are now home to 'the world's greatest underground zip line and adventure course'; Titan, a four-line zipping experience that takes you down the mountain and Bounce Below, a trampoline experience inside the caverns.
There are more local hiking opportunities than you could shake an Ordnance Survey map at and Mount Snowdon – the highest mountain in England or Wales, with views all the way to Ireland and Scotland – is only half an hour away by car. Add to that the abundance of local waterfalls and kayaking, surfing, bouldering, cycling, rambling and climbing opportunities and you'll see why this area is popular with families and fitness fanatics alike.
When we've got our hands on a Tesla, we like to head for the wilderness to show range anxiety isn't an issue with these beauties: you can get anywhere from 334 miles (75D) to 409 (P100D) miles away on a single charge. Bryn Elltyd was one of the first destinations in Wales to get a Tesla charger – but if you think think you'd be cut off here in the foothills of the Moelwyn mountains, you'd be wrong.
The Ffestiniog Steam Railway track curves round the lake of the neighbouring hydro station and Bryn Elltyd is on a bus route: there are eight buses per day and the road's gritted if there's a risk of snow.
The prolific local mines, which include zinc, silver, copper and gold as well as slate, provide another advantage for anyone with kids or reduced mobility. Many of the routes up the mountains have been tarmacked for mine access, meaning they're accessible with pushchairs and bold wheelchair-users (with help). Our two-year-old had no trouble and would have bagged the peak at the rear of the guesthouse if the weather hadn't made us turn back.
It's not just the natural riches on Bryn Elltyd's doorstep that make this B&B a green traveller's dream: owners John and Ceilia have won top awards for the work they're doing to keep their guesthouse – complete with sauna – carbon neutral.
The retired teachers from Coventry have earned the Green Tourism Gold Standard and one of only 160 UK Superhomes Carbon Saving Awards. They've also won two of the Considerate Hotelier Sustainability Awards that have gone out to big-hitters such as The Savoy.
Yet according to John, only about 20% of Bryn Elltyd's visitors are attracted by the B&B's eco-credentials; the rest – including us – are drawn to its beautiful location and leave impressed by how luxurious a 'green' stay can be.

Equestrian In A Coma After Rescuing Horses In Vic Bushfires
An internationally-renowned equestrian has been left in a coma after being critically injured attempting to rescue horses during the latest Victorian bushfires.
Janina Kletke responded to a phone call asking if she could assist in rescuing four horses from a nearby burnt out property in Garfield in the early hours of March 4.
The 34-year-old had already evacuated her own horses to a friend's farm as the uncontrollable wildfires grew closer, but put out a Facebook post offering to help others at risk.
A woman responded to her online post at 2am asking for help, prompting the experienced equestrian to get out of bed and head to the nearby property with the help of Country Fire Authority.
The German national was loading the horses when she was found unconscious near the trailer. It is understood that Kletke fell off the ramp of the truck.
"She's got the most amazing intuition for humans and animals… She has a sixth sense to communicate with horses," her friend, Shaun Dillon told Yahoo7.
"As a result she sustained a head injury and has been kept in the ICU in an induced coma fighting for her life," a GoFundMe page for Kletke says.
"As a German Bereiter, Janina has bought a wealth of knowledge and invaluable expertise to Australian dressage."
The 34-year-old has remained in an induced coma in The Alfred's Hospital's intensive care ward since March 4.
The GoFundMe page has already raised over $10,100 by 110 people in 24 hours.

Interviews: Past The Verge
Screamer 1:06:00 0
In this new occassion we have had the opportunity to interview the Metalcore band Past The Verge from Canada. Check out the interview and this band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?
Our ex vocalist found faded lettering on an abandoned building and suggested it as a name and we all thought it was a good fit.
2. Why did you want to play this genre?
Eric: I always loved the heavy and progressive elements in the genre, especially when it comes down to the drumming.
Andrew: To write emotive music that can express the duality of aggression and passion.
Josh: The metal genre has always spoken to me in a way others couldn't. There's just so much emotion and passion in the words and music as a whole.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
Eric: Josh and I grew up together, our bassist was in another band at our first show and hit us up after the gig seeing if we needed a bassist (because we were a 3 piece at the time). Our producer was a mutual friend with Jordan on Facebook and when we were looking for a vocalist we tried him out and it was a great fit.
4. Each band member favourite band?
Eric: Avenged Sevenfold, The Rev's ability on the kit is what inspired me to play.
Andrew: Favourite bands in the genre, Reflections, Veil of Maya, Erra, Fit for a King, Emmure, Counterparts, Meshuggah, Fit for an Autopsy.
Josh: Refections.
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
Eric: My passion for music inspires me to continue to write, always striving to push myself to a new level.
Andrew: Rush first inspired me to want to write progressive music, then Animals as Leaders brought that passion into the metal sphere where it was expanded upon by bands such as Northlane and The Contortionist. Marc Okubo is an individual that offers much inspiration.
Josh: I've always used music as a way to escape my stress, depression and anxieties. I started playing guitar when I was 14 and started to write lyrics a year later. It's such a cathartic release so I use it as a way to cope. A sort of natural anti depressant.
6. Where was your last gig?
Our latest gig was at Warehouse in St. Catharines opening for Obey The Brave and Boundaries on their Ontario tour.
7. Where would you like to act?
Eric: I would love to play Danforth music Hall, great venue and great sound.
Andrew: The Town Ballroom would be nostalgic to play at.
Josh: Danforth and Wembley for me.
8. Whom would you like to feature with?
Eric: I'd love to be associated with Architects in some way shape or form, I think they're the best metalcore band of all time.
Andrew: Spencer Chamberlain from Underoath would be a dream.
Josh: Jake Wolf and Patrick Soumlay of Reflections, Tyler Dennen of Jaine Doe and Brendan Murphy of Counterparts.
9. Whom not?
We like to associate ourselves with like minded individuals who are always striving to improve themselves and are serious about their craft.
10. Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that?
Andrew: The best tip is to keep a clear mind and focus on your craft and less on the opinions of others, let your music speak for itself and remember that they are not watching you specifically but the band as a whole, it's a team game and no one is alone.
11. What bands have inspired you the most?
Eric: Architects, Northlane and Avenged Sevenfold are my biggest musical inspirations.
Andrew: Underoath, Meshuggah, Lamb of God, Code Orange.
Josh: Reflections, Alpha Wolf and Sworn in.
12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?
Past The Verge weed grinders and narcotics.
13. What do you think of your fans?
We have consistent support in the sharing of new content and presences at local shows. Our fans are super supportive and amazing, always giving positive feedback when we release new content.
14. What do you think of our site?
We Appreciate the focus on writing about music and offering a platform for bands such as ours. Music coverage is key for learning about the music world and allows the sharing of broader perspectives and the growth of a unified core community.
15. Something add?
We will be releasing our latest EP "Incantation" with our new vocalist this Halloween, available on all platforms!
