We joined the BTCC teams at Donington for the 2017 launch, a season which looks to be as competitive as ever.
A capacity 32 car grid will race, which sees BMW UK returning to the championship as a Manufacturer Team for the first time in 21 years. BMW continues its long alliance with West Surrey Racing. with whom they have raced successfully in the series for the last 10 years.
And with the recent return to WSR of two time champion Colin Turkington joining Rob Collard alongside other new signing, 2013 champ Andrew Jordan, it remains to be seen whether on track rivalries will cause fireworks in the WSR camp. BTCC fans couldn't be in for more of a treat.
Among those liveries already launched was the unveiling of the new Power Maxed Vauxhall Astras to be driven by Senna Proctor and Tom Chilton.
The marque returns to the championship for the first time since Vauxhall withdrew in 2009. Tom Chilton also returns to the championship after 5 years in the World Touring Car's series.
Meanwhile reigning champ Gordon Shedden aims for a 4th title in the striking Halfords Yuasa Racing Honda Civic Type R, which would equal former BSCC champion Andy Rouse's record. Partnered with team mate Matt Neal the BTCC fan favourites are now in their eighth consecutive season together.
Unmissable out on track is previously named Motorbase Performance's Team Shredded Wheat Ford Focus ST.
Long term Motorbase Performance driver Mat Jackson is joined at the squad by Martin Depper and Luke Davenport in his maiden season.
A very last minute addition to the grid is 18 year old Josh Price who graduates from the Renault Clio Cup series. Backed by the BMR Racing Academy, a last minute sponsor was found to enable Price to make the step up into the championship after he had previously announced his return to the Clio Cup with Team Pyro.
Price joins James Cole, Ashley Sutton and two time BTCC champion Jason Plato at Adrian Flux Subaru Racing.
After 7 years away from the series Stephen Jelley returns to BTCC with Team Parker Racing.
Jelley was previously competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB but takes over the seat vacated by Alex Martin who now returns to the PCCGB also with Team Parker Racing.
Triple Eight backed team MG Racing RCIB Insurance bring together drivers Aron Taylor-Smith and Daniel Lloyd in a completely new line-up for 2017. Taylor-Smith moves from Team BKR with whom he took a race win and several podium places last year.
While Daniel Lloyd was a guest driver with Eurotech Racing in 2016, who race in 2017 with the partnership of Jack Goff and Jeff Smith in the Honda Civic Type R.
In the afternoons testing session Speedworks Motorsports Tom Ingrams took first place in the Toyota Avensis, just fractions of a second ahead of Handy Motorsports Rob Austin. With BTC Norlin Racings Chris Smiley just behind him.
Austin, also behind the wheel of a Toyota Avensis has been testing the car extensively over the last few weeks and is quietly confident that despite the competitive grid he has what it takes to give the top of the grid a run for their money.
BTCC season opens at Brands Hatch on April 1st/ 2nd.

There's something about jellyfish that inspire stories about death and social awkwardness. In the case of The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin it's the tale of a teenage girl refusing to believe her athletic friend could drown while swimming in the ocean. She has decided instead that her death was by jellyfish sting.
Suzy goes silent, refusing to talk to anyone, and secretly begins to plan a trip to Australia to meet with a jellyfish expert. But there are rules to flying internationally as a minor and it's obvious from the very beginning that this idiotic plan won't work.
As she doesn't talk, most of the book is internal narrative. Her feelings on things. Her refusal to play along. Her memories of her friend.
If jellyfish are your thing and you want another story of a girl trying to find her place in the world, I recommend the manga series, Princess Jellyfish (Kuragehime) by Akiko Higashimura.


Err is Located in one of the older area's of town a stone throw from Wat Po and the Flower Market. Its in an old shop house on one of the many soi's that connect Maharaj Road with the River.
By taxi or Boat taxi that way you don't have to worry about paying any cops off for drink driving after you've enjoyed our cocktails.
From Wat Po, Drive down Thanon Maharaj Rd. turn into soi Pansuk on your right and follow that all the way around until you reach our front door. Do note however that we have No parking or Valet so you've got to fend for yourself! Also worth noting the Boy's in Brown love the old tire clamps if you park where you shouldn't as it's a nifty little pocket filler when you pay to get them removed.
The closest Pier is Ta Tien Pier. From the Pier, walk down until you hit the Maharaj Road. Then turn right walking toward Wat Po (Wat Chetuphon). Pass Wat Po on your left and keep walking down, turn right into Soi maharaj road (it's the one before Soin Pansuk), Then walk down toward the river. Err will be on your left.

Help is closer than you think: CANet-funded project brings cutting-edge healthcare nearer to patients
CANet > CANet Newsroom > Help is closer than you think: CANet-funded project brings cutting-edge healthcare nearer to patients
Dr. Ratika Parkash is getting closer to 120,000 patients across Canada.
Parkash's work is aimed at patients who live with pacemakers or implantable defibrillators – both, cardiac implantable electronic devices or CIEDs. Pacemakers help control abnormal heart rhythm. Implantable defibrillators deliver life-saving shocks to patients who are at risk of irregular and potentially fatal heart rhythms.
"We want to deliver more efficient pacemaker and implantable cardiac device care across Canada, virtually eliminating in-clinic visits for most patients," Parkash says.
CIEDs, like any other devices, need regular maintenance in order to function properly and detect atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmia more effectively.
Patients often visit specialized device clinics at least twice a year, sometimes more frequently.
For 19 per cent of Canadians living in rural communities, they have to travel long distances to reach these clinics and healthcare facilities.
Dr. Paul MacDonald, a cardiologist at Cape Breton Regional Hospital says, "We are over 400 km away from the teaching centre where these devices are implanted. If they do need to be checked or monitored, it can mean, for example, a five-hour drive, or an overnight stay. Often patients' families have to go, or patients are admitted to hospital and require ambulance service to transport them back and forth."
The problem needs to be solved quickly – Canada has a growing aging population, many of whom will require CIEDs.
Dr. MacDonald continues, "It can get very expensive for the healthcare system, certainly expensive and challenging for families to manage. New technology and better communications services will help us manage these patients locally."
Currently, barely five per cent of the 120,000 patients who live with CIEDs have any form of remote monitoring, which usually involves patients communicating with clinics through landlines or mobile phones.
CANet and Parkash are working towards integrating with CANet's digital health platform, VIRTUES – Virtual Integrated Reliable Transformative User-driven E-health System.
By monitoring the status of a CIED, VIRTUES will inform patients with what the device is doing, and allow clinics, patients, family physicians, and cardiologists to talk to one another regarding the device status
Importantly, the CANet-funded project removes the need for patients to travel outside of their local community to receive care from a highly specialized device center.
"The project will also help free up the time in specialized centers to focus exclusively on more problematic cases by removing the need for routine device checks," Parkash says.
These partnerships continue to propel CANet with its strategic business and capacity development targets by commercializing new technologies.
"The main factors that will contribute to the success of this program are ongoing collaborations within CANet, and developing technologies that will assist patients with their CIEDs," Parkash says.
The CANet-funded RPM-CIED project will also help train two early career cardiac electro-physiologists dedicated to the remote monitoring strategy.
Parkash's work is contributing to a critical CANet goal of creating highly qualified personnel at the forefront of arrhythmia research and management.
Parkash is also working on implementing the novel remote patient management system in the most effective, efficient and accessible way across the "diversity of healthcare systems and patients in Canada." In doing so, she is helping decrease the rates of arrhythmia, syncope and sudden cardiac death in Canada and worldwide, all critical CANet targets.
Ultimately, it is all about the patients, she notes.
Working the project's Patient Leader (a patient at Kingston General Hospital), in consultation with nine other CIED patients across Canada, will help ensure that the CANet-funded project puts patients concerns first and foremost, providing patient-centered CIED care.
One of the key surveys in the project, for example, asks patients how they accommodate cardiac devices in their daily lives, encourages them to share any device-related distress that they face, and bring forth any body image concerns related to having a device implanted.
"Rather than have patients be passive recipients of treatment, we want them to active partners in directing and taking responsibility for their healthcare," Parkash says.

So, besides the fact that it is just creepy to buy and sell babies and that the price isn't really right ($500 is just $.07 an hour to carry a child for nine months), as the folks over at Culture Kitchen point out, isn't it illegal? Apparently, the Texas senator dealt with this minor barrier. The act reads: "Penal Code, does not apply to the grant or acceptance of money under this section." Now, surely this legislation is unlikely to go anywhere and is pure wingnuttery, but it is definitely symbolic. As the Huffington Post notes, this act is "reflective of just how little 'pro-life' politicians and leaders actually care about women." The Huff Post has more great insight about this program. Worth a read.


There are a number of uses for thermoplastic material road markings, and our thermoplastic production plant allows us to produce bespoke surfaces to suit a range of environments. Whether for traffic calming purposes, to increase hazard perception or as lane division and demarcation, thermoplastic material can be applied in various forms, with optimal levels of antiskid depending on requirement and the choice of a reflective quality to improve visibility in dark environments.
• To assist in traffic calming. With thermoplastic road markings at areas requiring a slower speed from vehicles, drivers have visual and audible warnings that they are in or approaching a hazardous environment.
• With thermoplastic demarcation, lanes can be easily established and identified. Common uses are bus lanes, cycle lanes and highway lane separation.
• A range of horizontal warnings can be emphasised with thermoplastic road markings, including speed roundels, cross-hatching, perception bars and other signs.
• Thermoplastic road markings not only protect drivers but pedestrians too – they can be used to warn traffic of areas requiring a slower speed. Pedestrian crossings can also be applied using thermoplastic materials.
• Other markings commonly applied with thermoplastic material are car park bays, and industrial markings/walkways.
• Thermoplastic materials can also be used to restore or enhance road markings that have been worn, faded or damaged.
Thermoplastic road markings can be used in a variety of environments and for a range of purposes. The flexibility in colour and the ability to create bespoke levels of antikid makes the material suitable to both safety and aesthetic applications. WJ have a thermoplastic material plant where we manufacture surfacing products to a ISO 9001 standard and within a BSI Kitemark scheme.
Get in touch for more information about thermoplastic materials, or to find out more about what services we offer.

Home/COVID 19- BREAK THE CHAIN/Fliers on Dubai-Kochi flight in panic after fourth passenger tests positive
Fliers on Dubai-Kochi flight in panic after fourth passenger tests positive
KOCHI: The passengers who travelled on Emirates flight EK532 from Dubai to Kochi on March 18 are in a state of panic after three of their co-passengers tested Covid-19 positive on Saturday. That makes four Covid-19 cases from among the 267 passengers on the same flight.
Earlier on Friday, a Malappuram native who travelled on the flight tested positive. On Saturday, a Kasaragod native and two from Kannur tested positive for Covid-19, sending shivers down the spine of other passengers, who travelled in the flight.
"I came to know about the positive case of Malappuram resident when I saw a WhatsApp message from Malappuram control room which asked all passengers of Emirates flight EK532 to remain in home quarantine. I was not all that worried earlier, though I was on the same flight. But now, I am, as three more persons on the same flight tested positive for coronavirus," said a 42-year-old man who is now under home quarantine in Palakkad.
The passengers of the flight, which took off from Dubai around 9.45pm on Tuesday, were not asked to appear for universal screening to detect the presence of coronavirus. "If proper screening was in place in Dubai, the four persons could have been stopped at the Dubai International Airport itself. The authorities have made compulsory screening only for those who reach Dubai.
Due to the carelessness of the authorities, the remaining passengers have also landed in trouble," he added. Meanwhile, other passengers on the flight have started calling the control room number. "With Dubai turning out to be the new source of the disease, many of them are worried a lot. In the first two days, the flight passengers who are under home quarantine used to call the control room once in a day. Now they are making three-four calls to the control room," said an official with the health department.
UAE a worry spot
As per reports, 153 positive cases have been reported in the UAE. With more cases reporting everyday, the health department has strengthened the screening procedure for the UAE returnees. "Those who returned from the UAE are now showing the symptoms. Six persons who had reached the state from Dubai tested positive for Covid-19. Based on this, we have strengthened the screening procedure at airports. We are also closely monitoring the persons who are now under home quarantine," said a top official with the health department requesting anonymity.

Justice Department Sues California Over Net-Neutrality Law
By Brian Feldman@bafeldman
Over the weekend, California's governor signed the state's new law protecting net neutrality. The legislation, Senate Bill 822, barred ISPs from blocking lawful content, throttling customer speeds, or creating "fast lanes" for large edge providers like Google and Facebook.
The bill, the first in the nation since the Republican-controlled FCC rolled back protections earlier this year, effectively restored the 2015 Open Internet Order in the state. That order stipulated that internet-service providers could not discriminate against or prioritize certain traffic on their network (in other words, they had to keep the net neutral). Hours after it was signed into law, the Justice Department filed a suit over it.
"Under the Constitution, states do not regulate interstate commerce — the federal government does. Once again the California legislature has enacted an extreme and illegal state law attempting to frustrate federal policy," U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.
California attorney general Xavier Becerra said in response that the Justice Department was ignoring American consumers, who overwhelmingly support net neutrality regardless of political party.
While the #Trump Administration continues to ignore the millions of Americans who voiced strong support for #netneutrality rules, #California will not allow a handful of power brokers to dictate sources for information or the speed at which websites load. https://t.co/I5BWtrZIA1
— Xavier Becerra (@AGBecerra) October 1, 2018
FCC chairman Ajit Pai took time away from desperately trying to convince people he's cool and not lame to support the Justice Department's decision. "I'm pleased the Department of Justice has filed this suit," he wrote. "The Internet is inherently an interstate information service. As such, only the federal government can set policy in this area."
Weird how Pai doesn't think the FCC has any authority over the internet when it suits the telecom industry, but does think he has authority over it when someone else tries to help out consumers. Anyway!
This suit seems less of a question over whether net-neutrality regulations are legal and more a question over jurisdiction — do states or the federal government have authority over ISPs? In any case, it's probably going to drag on in the courts for a while.

Abby Wambach Takes Immigrant Interrogation Position With ICE
NEW YORK - Following up on comments she made earlier about not wanting immigrants to take United States jobs in soccer, a rapacious Abby Wambach announced that she would be taking a special Sports Immigrant Interrogation position with the United States Government Immigrant Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"Please tell me why you love this country, and be specific"
"I just wanted to talk to all immigrants to the greatest country in the world to ensure that they really love this country before we let them come in here and get jobs, healthcare and an overwhelming sense of freedom," stated Wambach to The Nutmeg News on Tuesday. "With my new position with ICE, I finally can call the shots on who is legally allowed to play for the United States (anybody with a surname of Wambach) or not (anybody with a surname of Diskerud). It's very simple."
Reportedly, ICE were all too ready to give Wambach a blank check to conduct personal interviews with every single immigrant that has entered the shores of the United States stating, "Go get em and deport them back to hell," before telling Wambach that she has the right, now, to revoke passports and green card status of any player she felt didn't love the United States enough.
"Do they have that killer instinct? I don't know. But I'm going to find out, and when I find out, they may have to do some horrible things in their own home country to prove that they will kill for the United States. I want sabotage against national teams and people swearing loyalty oaths to the United States before they go out on the field of battle," ranted Wambach. "This goes for all sports. We must bow before the flag and shed the blood of the infidels. You must understand that you will love this country or you will leave it. Those are the only two options. And they will bow before me, if they know what is good. Look if this is an ignorant opinion and I deport a few hundred people, It's no big deal. I'll just raise my hand in the end and say, 'my bad.' But we are definitely going to have that conversation and you better be able to prove that you love the United States."
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Wambach starts with Yaseil Puig, Grant Balfour and anyone that fits the profile.

Storyblok Launches New CMS Experience to Shape the Future of Digital Storytelling
V2 further empowers all teams to create and scale standout audience experiences
LINZ, Austria, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Storyblok, the content management system (CMS) category leader for 2022 that empowers both developers and content teams to create better content experiences across all digital channels, today announced the launch of its all-new CMS. Storyblok V2 includes a fresh user interface complete with an all new design experience, collaboration tools, and an enhanced digital asset manager designed to improve content workflows.
In Storyblok's The State of Content Management 2022 report, it was revealed that 47.96% of businesses use 2 to 3 CMSs, and 47.08% said 2 to 3 different teams use those CMSs. V2 further solidifies Storyblok as a future-proof CMS that enhances content experiences at any scale.
Storyblok's powerful headless CMS architecture enables developers to build anything, publish everywhere, and integrate with any technology stack. Content teams are empowered to create independently with a visual editing experience, Google Docs-style collaboration suite, composable components, presets, and powerful publishing workflows. V2 also introduces support for a US data center, providing Storyblok users with additional hosting options across the US and Europe. All of this results in a scalable digital experience for audiences that delivers fast performance, optimized omnichannel storytelling, and robust personalization and localization.
A Forrester report called The Forrester Wave™: Agile Content Management Systems (CMSes), Q1 2021 said: "As organizations produce more experiences that leverage a common back end, the value of those services and assets increases relative to the cost to create them. Brands grapple with the challenge of delivering content to new endpoints (e.g., web, mobile, smart displays, voice assistants, and marketplaces), so it's important to manage content and experiences centrally to drive reuse. This makes updating and analyzing — and optimizing — experiences more efficient as well."
"We've been fortunate to have a front-row view inside the content operations of some of the world's leading businesses," said Alexander Feiglstorfer, Co-Founder and CTO of Storyblok. "We built V2 because companies need flexibility and smarter workflows to adapt and scale to support the ever-increasing complexity of omnichannel digital experiences. After testing it in beta with our 82k+ users over the past year and listening to their feedback, we're finally ready to show even more companies what content management should be like in the 21st century."
"We live in a world of connected channels and interfaces and expect modern digital experiences for every digital interaction. But most CMSs in use today were built at a time when there were only desktop web browsing experiences," said Dominik Angerer, Co-Founder and CEO of Storyblok. "Many businesses fail at managing content across departments and are not capable of providing high performance, personalized experiences at scale. It's time for businesses to fix these challenges. Storyblok V2 is the content engine for any digital experience and helps businesses tell their stories on any channel."
On Thursday, August 4th at 11am Eastern / 5pm CEST, Storyblok is hosting a live V2 launch event that includes a demo of the new features and a panel discussion exploring the future of content experiences. Register here to attend this online event and see the full schedule.

Australian Open – Follow the Tennis match between Donna Vekic and Kristina Mladenovic live with Eurosport. The match starts at 01:00 on 14 January 2019. Our live coverage lets you follow all the key moments as they happen.


interdisciplinary performance for mezzo-soprano, piano & dancer [50'] 2001.
As a teenager in the 1920s, my grandmother Gladys played piano for silent films in the remote New Zealand town of Takaka. She still recalls a film which was shot nearby at Pohara beach. Although Glad has never seen the film, I found out later that it was the underwater spectacular Venus of the South Seas, starring Australian diver Annette Kellerman. A trained classical musician, Kellerman's stage performances combined piano, violin and vocal recitals, along with high-diving and underwater stunts.
Flotsam & Jetsam weaves together memories of my grandmother with the fantastical watery world of Annette Kellerman. This performance is dedicated to my grandmother, Gladys Boyce.


Day Two- 6.5 hour Training Ride Today in the Rain!
Today it rained on me for 5 plus hours of the ride. Quick Stats 6:25 pedal time, 112 miles, 4100 kjs, 5,000 feet of gain, Normalized Power 202 or 3.0 w/kg and 17.4 Avg moving speed. And this is the day after a 6 hour training ride the day before of over 100 miles. The rest of the data is displayed below. Now let's talk about clothing. I knew it was going to rain today so I made sure I wore wool from head to toe! See below for my clothing choices. Why so many hours/miles? I have a Double Century in Death Valley on Feb 26 and wanted to see where I was in my fitness. I will make another blog post on the Death Valley Double Century in the next couple of days.
UPDATE 02/22/11– Death Valley Double pre ride info.
I find it amazing the disparity between ride time and total time. I only stopped twice on today's ride. Both stops were to refill my water bottles at a fast food joint with soda fountains in the dining area. I was in and out in less than two minutes. The rest of the stopped time is traffic controls! I really thought my ride time and total time would be much closer to each other.
What are the graphs above? Well I wanted to set the Garmin 310XT to Auto Lap every hour. Unfortunately you can only Auto Lap by Distance or Location. So I said well I want to do 17 mph average speed on the training ride and set it for distance but I would rather do it by time. Yes I could always hit the lap button but why not use technology right?
In Corona looking up to the mountain range I need to pass through.
For my clothing I wore wool items from Woolistic I wore a long sleeve thin wool base layer 100% Merino wool, Cinzano Long Sleeve Jersey 100% Merino wool, and wool cycling shorts. From Swiftwick I wore the Merino 7″ sock. When riding in rainy conditions PLEASE wear wool. Your synthetics will make you even more miserable than you have to be. While I was wet, thoroughly wet, I was never cold. I felt the elements but I didn't feel the constant overheating and chilling that happens when I wear synthetics in particular on climbs and descents. Take it from someone that spends a lot of time on the road in all weather conditions get yourself some wool and ignore the naysayers that think you're not cool because you aren't wearing the latest and greatest technologically wonderful whizz bang new fabric that "…waterproof and breathes…." nonsense! The Woolistic stuff is the best on the market– go get some!
And now for something completely off topic. Can you imagine telling your friends at a dinner party who you work for?

Nice Ride George ! I m using the same Garmin as you (310xt) and the riding time and total time are always off ! even when I don t stop ! I don t know if you notice that too but it could explain the diff on your ride.
George – Thanks for the write up. Always love to see where you ride and your friendly attitude when I come across you on the road.
Picked up a couple of Swiftwick socks based on your recommendation and used them in the rain this morning. Feet were nice and toasty!!!!
Awesome news on the Swiftwick socks I think you will be happy with them EVEN in nice weather 🙂 I want to carry the Swiftwick brand in my store but there is an existing relationship with DeFeet urg! But stay tuned I am making some headway!

If your drip bowl is damaged or rusted, it could allow grease to drip inside your range. This 8 inch chrome drip bowl fits most electric ranges. Before you replace your damaged drip bowl, make sure the element is turned off and cool to the touch. Installation is easy, just remove the element, replace the current drip bowl, and reattach the element. Make sure the small hole on the bowl lines up with the element socket. Drip bowls are sold separately.

Q: Git : list all commits that are both children of revision A and parents of revision B Revision A is some days old, revision B some months old. Yet when using git log A..B or git log A...B, I get revisions that are some years old. That makes no sense to me. How do I single out the history of commits that are both children of A and parents of B ?

A: You can use the --ancestry-path option of git log:

--ancestry-path
When given a range of commits to display (e.g. commit1..commit2 or commit2 ^commit1), only display commits that exist directly on the ancestry chain between the commit1 and commit2, i.e. commits that are both descendants of commit1, and ancestors of commit2.

In your case, you would say:
git log --ancestry-path A..B

To get the commits that are both children of A and parents of B.

As I was poking around the web, I noticed that monitors seem to be a rare example of gear about which you are kinda picky.
Would you care to pontificate/elaborate/expound a bit on this subject?
Hi, Pontificate?????? I don't pontificate ( to speak in a pompous or dogmatic manner ). At least I bloody well hope I don't. My GOM will on occasion escape, but he just lets loose, he doesn't pontificate.
Monitors. Yes, I have used many different ones. Some being better than others. I can't give you specifics because so much also depends on the room. I gauge them by playing something I know well and seeing if it generally sounds the same as at home, on a system I know really well, only louder. I like it loud. I need to feel it as well as just hear it and so near fields really don't do it for me.
I've also found that too many so called experts make way too much by "setting up" a room. I remember only too well going into a studio a few years ago and after listening to something for a couple of minutes I asked how they set up their monitors. I was informed that they had a Urei graphic across each of them but that they were set correctly because they had had in their "expert" the day before to make sure they were set up correctly. I insisted I had to change the graphics and eventually permission was granted. I finally got them sounding the way I liked and work began.
When we arrived back at the studio the next day I was told that they had called in their "expert" again and after running all his tests he confirmed that the speakers were still perfect. Unfortunately he didn't realise that my settings were still in. How can they be right in both instances? They can't. It was all baloney, but he still got paid.

Q: Copy range of data from sheet 1 to sheet 2 every day as a log I want to copy data from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2 in the same workbook. The data set needs to be copied from range C3 to C7 on sheet 1 to B3 to F3 on sheet 2. The data gets copied everyday on sheet 2 as a log. I have a code that works if I define a single cell with Range object but doesn't work with multiple cells.
The code is inserted on a button. Please find below the code. I'm a novice and would appreciate if someone helps with the error.
Private Sub CommandButton21_Click()

    Dim Data As String
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Select
    Data = Range(Cells(3, 3), Cells(3, 7))
    Worksheets("Sheet2").Select
    Worksheets("Sheet2").Range(Cells(2, 3), Cells(6, 3)).Select

    If Worksheets("Sheet2").Range(Cells(2, 3), Cells(6, 3)).Offset(1, 0)<> "" Then
        Worksheets("Sheet2").Range(Cells(2, 3), Cells(6, 3)).End(xlDown).Select
    End If
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
    ActiveCell.Value = Data
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Select
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(3, 3), Cells(3, 7)).Select

End Sub

Private Sub Update_Click()

End Sub

A: To copy the Range("C3:C7") from "Sheet1" to Range("B3:F3") in "Sheet2" , you can use the code below (without using Select and ActiveCell).
Private Sub CommandButton21_Click()

    Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C3:C7").Copy
    Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, _
                                    SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=True

End Sub

Note: this will result with "overwriting" the previous date's data, and will be hard to use it as a log.
You can use the code below, to paste it in the first empty row in Column B in "Sheet2":
Private Sub CommandButton21_Click()

    Dim LastRow As Long
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C3:C7").Copy

    With Worksheets("Sheet2")
        LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row + 1 '<-- find first empty row in column B
        .Range("B" & LastRow).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, _
                                    SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=True
    End With

End Sub

This is from the movie Rang De Basanti... heavenly score by our BOSS ARR - I see GOD in him..
Rang De Basanti!!!! The starting piece!
But is this not from the soundtrack and played /recreated by someone else? Excellent. How to download this?
its from Rang De Basanti.
is it from the movie provoked??
RangDeBasanthi by ARR. Rahman does the re-recording for few films only. For the rest, he will just compose songs and leave the Re-recording to his assistants. This one should be by ARR himself.
Kumar - This is from RDB even though I can t recall the exact scene.
Rang De Basanti, of course. End credits, I presume?
Amit - The whole piece is by A.R.Rahman. I have compiled all the variations of the main theme from the movie into a single track.
Ramesh - I think Rahman himself does BGM for most of his films. Especially RDB, he told in an interview that he initially thought of giving it to someone else due to time constraints, but after watching the movie, he decided to do it by himself.
Anon - It isn't provoked.
Good job all. Great going.
Yes, Rubaroo song is very much played as the film ends with a montage sequence. As I didn't realise you had compiled the different pieces into one single track, I was wondering if this track is played after the song montage is over and the screen fades out during the end credits.
Is there some way to download this track from hipcast?
Kanna - I remember seeing an option to add a link to download the track in Hipcast. Will check it out and post the link here.

Teladoc Services Now Available in Idaho
More Idahoans will have access to high-quality, affordable health care via video consults
Lewisville, Texas. (July 1, 2015) – Teladoc, the nation's first and largest telehealth provider, today announced that Idahoans will now have access to the company's high-quality, cost-effective telehealth services. In a move to create increased access to health care services, the Idaho legislature passed the Idaho Telehealth Access Act in April 2015, reestablishing telemedicine access by allowing a physician and patient to connect via a two-way audio and visual interaction.
"Teladoc is excited to provide Idahoans with access to high-quality care through the use of audio-video technology," said Jason Gorevic, Teladoc CEO. "Through our network of board-certified, state-licensed physicians, we can meet their health care needs — when and where they need it."
The Annals of Family Medicine projects a shortage of 52,000 primary care physicians nationwide by 2025 – and Idaho is no exception. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, Idaho ranks the second to last state in number of primary care physicians per capita, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has designated 41 of Idaho's 44 counties as Health Professional Shortage Areas.
"Idahoans should be proud of the state legislators and Idaho Telehealth Council's efforts to support forward-thinking legislation that increases access to affordable health care and cuts costs for the business community," added Gorevic.
What Idahoans Should Know
Teladoc's service may be used when a patient is unable to visit his or her doctor, such as after office hours, on weekends or holidays. Through Teladoc's service, patients may receive treatment for non-emergent medical issues, such as allergies, bronchitis, pink eye, sinus problems, ear infection and other conditions that impact both adults and children. Physicians may also write short-term prescriptions for non-controlled substances if medically appropriate and in compliance with applicable state regulations.
By managing its own provider network, Teladoc built the first nationally independent physician network in telehealth. Teladoc's more than 675 physicians are board-certified and state-licensed with an average of 20 years of experience. Teladoc's rigorous credentialing process and ongoing quality assurance efforts ensure the highest quality of care for its members. In 2014, Teladoc physicians performed more than 298,000 consults.
For those interested in learning more about Teladoc's telehealth services, visit our website.
About Teladoc
(NYSE:TDOC) Founded in 2002, Teladoc is the nation's first and largest telehealth provider with approximately 11 million members. With 298,000 consults in 2014, Teladoc is on track to conduct more than 500,000 consults in 2015. Teladoc provides 24/7 access to affordable, high-quality medical care for adults and children experiencing non-emergency medical issues via phone, secure online video, mobile app or web. Through a directly managed network of U.S.-based, board-certified physicians, Teladoc delivers a 95 percent patient satisfaction rate with an average response time of less than 10 minutes.

Home State of Origin News 2020 SOO QRL Statement regarding Kevin Walters
QRL Statement regarding Kevin Walters
The Queensland Rugby League has today congratulated Kevin Walters on his appointment as Brisbane Broncos head coach for the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
The new NRL appointment means Walters will relinquish the Queensland Maroons coaching position for the 2020 series and beyond.
"It gives us an enormous amount of satisfaction to see one of the state's favourite footballing sons fulfil a career goal following his work with our pathway competitions and Queensland representative programs," QRL managing director Robert Moore said.
"As a former premiership-winning player and assistant coach with the Broncos, Kevin is a great fit for the club.
"We've always said we'd never stand in his way if a coaching opportunity he coveted came up in the NRL.
"We also know how passionate he is about the Maroons, and it hasn't been an easy step for him to let go of his Origin role with such a big series coming up.
"On behalf of the QRL board and our fans, we thank Kevin for his commitment to the Maroons and acknowledge his many achievements since he took over in 2016.
"Not only did he claim consecutive series wins, but he oversaw an injection of new talent in our Origin program with 21 players getting their first taste of Origin football over the past four years."
Moore said the process to appoint the new Maroons coach had commenced with the QRL having formed a sub-committee to explore all options.
"We hope to be in a position by the end of the week to announce the new coach for the 2020 series," Moore said.
Walters said he loved coaching Queensland and was saddened he would not be able to spearhead another campaign against the New South Wales Blues.
"It's been an incredible ride and I'm extremely proud of what we've been able to achieve, as well as the foundations we have built for the future," Walters said.
"I've always felt I've had a responsibility towards rugby league in Queensland after everything the Maroons and the game has given me, and I'll continue to assist with the team's Origin preparations in any way that is possible."

Geomatics Engineering Technology program
Exploring the deep
In People or Company of Interest
By Nick O'Dea - gfwadvertiser
Growing up in Newfoundland, Chad Downey of Grand Falls-Windsor admitted he was not much of a sailor. The son of a mill worker, he grew up watching television documentaries and credits that for much of his interest in the marine world.
After pursuing the Geomatics Engineering Technology program at the College of the North Atlantic, he discovered his love for marine surveying. A work term with the Coast Guard presented itself and cemented his passion for oceanic exploration.
Geomatics includes land and marine surveying, the creation and updating of maps, among other things, and can use tools such as GPS, remote sensing and photogrammetry.
"I had more interest in the marine surveying than I had with land surveying," Mr. Downey said. "I worked land surveying in Labrador for about a year, but I kept trying to get back out on the boats, it's harder to get a job out at sea than it is on land."
Although his passion remained, opportunities were scarce in marine surveying.
While Mr. Downey was laid off from a construction surveying job, he watched a program on the company Odyssey and their explorations. He decided then that he would send the company a resume.
"I was watching TV at my buddy's house, and I was watching Odyssey's show they have on Discovery Channel, 'Treasure Quest,'" Mr. Downey said. "I figured they had techs like me working there, for the surveying process."
He sent in a resume online and hoped that if the stars would align in the right way, he might receive a response.
Months had passed as Mr. Downey waited for other opportunities to come to fruition.


Don't get caught in the rain with it though.
The past few years have been flooded with rainbows and unicorn trends everywhere we turn. Hidden rainbows, rainbow undercuts, and rainbow armpit hair are just some, off the top of my head.
Now there's another thing to add to the colorful list: Rainbow headbands. Hear me out! Even though stencil hair art is definitely not a new trend, Bumble & Bumble stylist Allen Thomas Wood, recently came up with this super cool, psychedelic style.
To achieve this cool look, Wood bushed the hair back, simulating the person is actually wearing a headband. He then painted small sections of color freehand with different spray-on shades.
Wood told Vogue that it sort of happened by mistake. Initially he was trying to create a monochrome painted headband, but he kept on layering Kryolan colors so it transformed into a rainbow gradient.
Though he used hairspray to secure every hair in place, Wood wouldn't recommend getting caught in the rain with it, since the temporary color isn't waterproof.
But if you're careful enough, it's safe for a night out.

Cyber Heroines: Changing future for African Girls - ITREALMS
The 2021 Tomorrow's Cyber Heroines study undertaken by CyberHeroines, KnowBe4 Africa and Infosphere Limited surveyed more than 445 teachers across 14 African countries to unpack the complexities that face African girls in the technology landscape. With Africa's future reliant on its ability to adapt to digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), levelling the playing field for women has become critical. It has never been more important to change the cybersecurity workforce gender statistics than it is today.
"We have to give girls more opportunities, inspire them to get involved in technology and the cybersecurity field, and to remove the preconceived and socialised ideas that prevent women from pursuing careers in technology," says Anna Collard, SVP of Content Strategy and Evangelist KnowBe4 Africa. "The world is digitising rapidly and women are at risk of being left behind. We have to change the dialogue around technology and make it more inclusive for women and girls."
Women are already at a disadvantage. A recent study (http://bit.ly/39RuMGq) by the Association for Progressive Communications underscored the reality of the gender digital divide. In Africa women have less access to internet-based technologies than men, they have fewer opportunities, they are even more limited in their ability to move out from under poverty. As the world continues to move into automation, women will be the most affected as their roles are replaced by machines. Change has to start now, it has to start at home, and it has to be carried through into education.
"We want African women to participate in the digital age – we cannot leave them behind," says Aprielle Oichoe, Managing Director of InfoSphere. "We must empower girls to go into technology and this starts at a young age. We need to make a conscious decision to change the way we treat young girls. The dialogue needs to focus on making technology interesting for girls, not just something that they should 'leave to their brother."
The study found that a lack of education, limited guidance, minimal role models and societal preconceptions are having a serious, long-term impact on women's careers and futures. With cybersecurity and technology struggling to find skilled people, the market is wide open for those with the talent and the training to build sustainable and successful futures. In addition to thriving careers, training and education in technology and cybersecurity is essential for the wellbeing of young girls and women in Africa.
"According to research, women of colour are 34% more likely to be targeted by online hate speech than their white counterparts, and a huge percentage of African girls are concerned about their online safety," says Collard. "We must give them the tools, training and confidence they need to prepare for this online vitriol, and protect themselves."
The key factors inhibiting women's entry to the worlds of technology and cybersecurity include: negative stereotypes, lack of role models or mentors, low self-confidence, and competing in a male-dominated industry. Women are generally discouraged from careers in STEM and steered towards traditionally female roles instead.
"There is no such thing as a female role, not anymore," says Oichoe. "Now there is just opportunity. We just have to make sure that this opportunity is given to everyone."
The report unpacks the findings, the insights, and the solutions put forward by educators and experts across Africa. It examines the education curriculum, the challenges facing young African girls today, and it looks at suggested initiatives that can be implemented to shift perceptions and transform the future for the women of Africa.

Add To Favorite &
Send Me A Reminder
It was the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress at midnight of December 31, 1929 - January 1, 1930, that the Tri-Color Flag was unfurled by the nationalists and a pledge taken that every year on January 26, the "Independence Day" would be celebrated and that the people would unceasingly strive for the establishment of a Sovereign Democratic Republic of India. The professed pledge was successfully redeemed on January 26, 1950, when the Constitution of India framed by the Constituent Assembly of India came into force, although the Independence from the British rule was achieved on August 15, 1947.
It is because of this that August 15 is celebrated as Independence Day, while January 26 as Republic Day. The most spectacular celebrations include the march past of the three armed Forces, massive parades, folk dances by tribal folk from the different states in picturesque costumes marking the cultural unity of India. Further, the streak of jet planes of Indian Air Force, leaving a trial of colored smoke, marks the end of the festival. The trees on both sides of the routes and the lawns become alive with spectators.
The President of India at New Delhi, on this most colorful day, takes salute of the contingents of Armed Forces. In the States, the Governors take the salute, and in Taluqas and administrative headquarters on same procedure is adopted. At Vijay Chowk in New Delhi, three days later (i.e. 29th January) the massed bands of the Armed Forces "Beat the Retreat" in a majestic manner.
The Republic Day celebrations have rightly become world famous as one of the greatest shows on earth drawing thousands of eager sight-seers from all over the country and many parts of the world. No other country can draw on such a wealth of tribal traditions and cultures, so many regional forms of dances and dress. And, no other country in the world can parade so many ethnically different people in splendid uniforms as India's Armed Forces.

Thank you for providing First Aid training for our colleagues recently. I am delighted by the overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received about your training session. Our colleagues were engaged and entertained throughout the training, and referred to you as a "wealth of knowledge", which I have since experienced for myself! All who attended have remarked how much they had learned on the day and how impressed they were with the format and delivery. I just wanted to say a special thanks and let you know how much we appreciate your service - you're fantastic! We'll certainly be calling on you again for help with our First Aid needs in the future.
"I thank you for the services that you have provided. They have been of the highest standard and have saved lives. Your services even went beyond normal duty. I cant recommend you highly enough if you ever need a reference."
I have nothing but praise for this service and I would like to add a big thanks to Ebony and Adam, they made the trip seem like a day out (which it was).
I have no hesitation in handing out your cards and recommending your service to anyone who will listen and where I do not force your cards on people, they are very interested and consequently I have none left (only mine).

Q: Destructor not invoked when deleting void pointer I've got 3 classes
class A
{
    A();
    virtual ~A();
}
class B : public A
{
    B();
    ~B();
}
class C
{
    void *obj;
    C() : obj(nullptr) {}
    ~C() { if (obj) delete obj; }
}

when I use class C as a container for any child of class A and try to delete C instance. A, B destructor is not inveked is it normal? What is the solutuon?
C* instance = new C();
instance.obj = new B();
//Magic
delete instance; // A and B destructor is not called

A: You delete a void*, so delete doesn't know that it's a B* so the destructor can't be called. You have to use a class pointer if you want the destructor to be called on deletion.
For example, is all classes that may be C's obj extend A, then use an A*.

A: Deleting a pointer to an incompatible type (including void) gives undefined behaviour.

What is the solution?

*

*use the correct type: either the type you specified with new, or a base class if it has a virtual destructor; or

*use std::shared_ptr<void>, initialised from std::shared_ptr<correct_type>: its deleter will do the right thing.

In this case, it looks like you can simply store A* rather than void*, since you say it should be "a container for any child of class A".
By the way, there's no need to check whether the pointer is null before deleting it.

A: Yes, delete needs the specific type.

Dispatch From The Wild Frontier Of The Statin Wars
Larry Husten
News - Dec. 13, 2013
First published on Cardiobrief.org
The long simmering controversy over the relative benefits and harms of statins has heated to a high boil with the release of the new AHA/ACC US guidelines. But nowhere is the battle more intense right now than in Australia where, according to the National Heart Foundation, a TV show may be the cause of 2,000 heart attacks and strokes over the next five years.
The program, wrote Amy Corderoy, the health editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, "claimed the causal link between saturated fat, cholesterol and heart disease was 'the biggest myth in medical history'… [and described statins] as toxic and potentially deadly."
"Catalyst delved into a raging debate: has dietary guidance telling us to avoid fats pushed us towards more harmful sugar and carbohydrates instead?
But the program also went a step further, arguing cholesterol was just an innocent bystander in the body's attempts to deal with the sugar-damage. It was not a big leap to claim statins were dangerous, and the research supporting them fraudulent.
Catalyst focused heavily on the opinions of US experts – one of whom believes vaccines can cause autism and another who promotes chiropractic and chelation for heart problems – while downplaying the conclusions of other expert groups."
The program contained numerous quotes from cardiologist Rita Redberg, who has been a leading critic of statin overuse, especially when used for primary prevention. Redberg made clear that statins may be valuable for some patients who already have heart disease. But her views were accompanied by "experts" who were much more removed from the mainstream, including lengthy appearances, with little or no counterbalance, from extreme cholesterol skeptics like Beatrice Golomb and Stephen Sinatra.
The show initially came in for criticism from the Australian National Heart Foundation. Now the Heart Foundation reports that "an alarming number of people with high cholesterol have stopped or changed their cholesterol medication as a direct result of" the program. The Heart Foundation surveyed more than a thousand Australians receiving statins and recorded alarming findings:
22% stopped, stopped then restarted, or reduced their medications.
12% "started taking natural remedies."
9% completely stopped taking their medication.
"Almost half of those who completely stopped their medications didn't consult their GP," said the CEO of the Heart Foundation. "What is most worrying is that of the people who have stopped taking their medication, one in four have previously had a heart event, such as a heart attack or stroke…. It should be clear that statins are life saving for people who have already had a heart attack, and people should not go off their medication without seeing their GP."
Extrapolating from the survey findings, the Heart Foundation calculated that as many as 55,000 Australians may "have stopped their medication as a direct result of the show." Of these, about 40% had either had a heart attack, a stroke, established heart disease, or had multiple risk factors for heart disease.
The Heart Foundation said that the estimate of 2,000 or more additional heart attacks and strokes was "a very conservative estimate."
Statins For Primary Prevention Get A Boost
On the heels of the news from Australia, a comprehensive review in JAMA lends strong support to the use of statins in primary prevention. The review by Fiona Taylor and colleagues concluded that
"When used for primary prevention, statins are associated with lower rates of all-cause mortality, major vascular events, and revascularizations compared with placebo. Statin therapy is not associated with increased rates of life-threatening adverse effects such as cancer."
Here are the relative risks, 95% confidence intervals, and the number need to treat for 5 years:
All-cause mortality: RR 0.86, CI 0.79- 0.94, NNT 138
Combined fatal and nonfatal CVD RR 0.75, CI 0.70-0.81, NNT 49
Combined fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease (CHD) events: RR 0.73, CI 0.67-0.80, NNT 88
Combined fatal and nonfatal stroke: RR 0.78, CI 0.68-0.89, NNT 155
In an accompanying editorial, Jennifer Robinson writes that
"the accumulated evidence should convince those with a philosophical aversion to statin therapy for primary prevention to reconsider their stance."
In a viewpoint published earlier this month in JAMA, John Ioannidis discussed the implications of the new guidelines and the expanded population now eligible for statins that
"eventually would lead to massive use of statins at the population level; ie, 'statinization'. It is uncertain whether this would be one of the greatest achievements or one of the worst disasters of medical history."

Lawyer: British Hacking Suspect Will be Vindicated
A lawyer for a 23-year-old British computer security researcher accused of creating malware to attack the banking system on Monday called him a "hero" and predicted he would be "fully vindicated."
The lawyer commented after Marcus Hutchins — who three months ago found a "kill switch" to stem the spread of the devastating WannaCry ransomware outbreak — pleaded not guilty to US charges of creating and distributing malicious software.
Hutchins was arrested earlier this month in Las Vegas after attending the Def Con gathering of computer hackers.
The case stunned the computer security community and drew fire from critics who argued that researchers often work with computer code which can be deployed for malicious purposes.
"Marcus Hutchins is a brilliant young man and a hero," said Marcia Hofmann, an attorney affiliated with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, who represented Hutchins at the hearing.
"He is going to vigorously defend himself against these charges. And when the evidence comes to light we are confident he will be fully vindicated."
A federal indictment accuses Hutchins and another individual of making and distributing Kronos "banking Trojan," a reference to malicious software designed to steal user names and passwords used at online banking sites.
The indictment set the time of the activity by Hutchins as being from July 2014 to July 2015.
A trial date was set for the case for October 23, according to participants at the hearing, who added that a federal magistrate agreed to allow Hutchins to reside in California while the case is pending.
Hutchins, who lives in Britain and remains free on $30,000 bail, works for a California-based computer security firm.
"We are very pleased that the court modified the terms (of bail) allowing him to return to his important work," said Brian Klein, the second attorney for Hutchins.
His arrest has sparked criticism from some researchers who argue that the case could dissuade "white hat hackers" — those who find flaws to help fix them — from cooperating with authorities.
Hutchins, known by the alias "Malwaretech," was charged in an indictment dated July 12 and unsealed in early August by federal authorities in Wisconsin.
According to the indictment, Hutchins was part of a conspiracy to distribute the hacking tool on so-called dark markets.

NNDKP CELF is also designed to serve as a formal debate forum between NNDKP professionals and clients, which will promote ideas in the public space for improving the procedures and the administrative and judicial laws governing tax disputes.
"In the age of BEPS1, of the European anti-abuse directives in fiscal matters, of the more radical measures of the tax authorities both worldwide and in Romania, it is obvious that we are facing a paradigm shift with respect to the relationship between the taxpayer and the tax authority. From this perspective, the Romanian taxpayer must adapt, sometimes swiftly, to the new requirements. NNDKP CELF will provide our clients with integrated and unitary approaches throughout the entire tax dispute, whether we refer to tax audits, antifraud controls or potential ramifications in the criminal area", specified Marius Ionescu, Co-Managing Partner, NNDKP Tax Advisory.


MOON TWP. — After a one-year hiatus, Moon's hockey team back in the PIHL's "pure" classifications.
The Tigers were hit hard by graduation after the 2016-17 season. The varsity program elected to drop from Class 2A to the PIHL's Division 2, which allows teams to roster players from other schools without their own teams via cooperative agreements.
Moon's young squad went 17-1 during the regular season and won all three of its postseason games to capture the Division 2 title.
The title ended three years of postseason frustration during which the Tigers were eliminated in the first round of Penguins Cup play. However, last year's title did not come with the Penguins Cup or a state championship game berth, both of which are for the pure classifications only.
"I think that's their motivation this year. We were proud of what was accomplished. They heard what people said, though. They didn't like it. It wasn't a situation they could control," Sell said.
The Tigers, who graduated just one senior from last year's team, return to Class 2A as one of the favorites.
Moon's top three forward lines return intact in Shawn Hytla, David Pawuk and Alexander Angevine; Zach Wildasin, Rich Doyle and Colby Camardese; and Mark Pelkington, Logan Zarin and Austin Cooper. However, the players will move around the lineup.
John Kaminski, Gavin Weiss, Ben Daniels and Jordan Chamberlain are back on defense, though a shoulder injury could sideline Chamberlain for the first month or so. Gage Tisch and Quinton Line did not play last year but are on the squad this year and add to the defense. All-star goaltender Lukas Konecsni is back as well.
Moon graduates 11 seniors after this season, but Sell believes the amount of remaining players won't facilitate a need to drop back to Division 2 again.

PEOPLE 1998.10.22
Earlier this year I was asked to assist some students in their final projects at Lausanne art school in Switzerland. One of the students, Gilles had already been involved in the running a magazine for a couple of years and was embarking on a web project more ambitious than many high budget design jobs I had seen before. It was no surprise when an e-mail rolled in from shift to tell me about this great site OPTIMO.
Gilles was here last week, collaborating with us on a project. I took the chance to ask him a few questions.
To start with, could you introduce yourself?
I'm Gilles, hello. I'm one half of the team, David Rust is the other. I live in Zurich and David's in Lausanne where I just finished my studies.
Could you tell us about your web site "OPTIMO"?
In Switzerland it's impossible to get decent clients who are up for doing interesting things. We thought therefore that the best approach was to first; do and then to find an application for it. This was our approach with the magazine we published for the last two years.
The good thing about the web site is that it is cheap to run and has a broader reach (10 000 magazines for 20 000US$, infinite amount of distribution over the web for 100US$). I designed still at school. Publishing is much faster also so we can react quickly to new ideas. From the users point of view it's cool that it's always changing. The site is built as a hub which brings together different aspects of our interests which could not be presented in any other way. The fact that the different sections of content sit around this hub means that these parts can be added to and taken away without disrupting it. If you sense that one area is successful you can react by further developing that part and again the structure allows this to happen easily.
"CLICK TO KNOW MORE ABOUT" is a very interesting page. Why do you produce a design that reacts to the user's interactions in that way?
The fonts have another dimension than is usual. It seemed an appropriate way to show this dimension.
How did you pick up your skills in?
Curiosity and late nights.
Do you think Flash will make an impact on the Graphics profession? What kinds of possibilities do you think it offers?
Basically Flash is really easy to use. It removes the dependency on technically skilled people to realise. It doesn't necessarily help the profession make better web sites. I expect that we'll see a lot of shitty design result form this new toy.
The Swiss have a reputation for being boring. Is this true? If not tell us something interesting which is happening in Switzerland right now (apart from Optimo of course.)
Yes, I guess it's true. Snowboarding is about the most interesting thing I can think of and there's a lot of that.
Swiss typography has worldwide reputation. Do you think it deserves this status?
I don't think it does. The reputation is based on some good work that took place a long time ago. Everyone in Switzerland is still influenced by the modernist approach that is still considered correct. The reputation tends to make typographers very boring as they're under the illusion that Swiss design is still GREAT, which it's not.
What designer(s)/web design(s) do you like?
Antirom who I am currently working with (he had to say that) and Cornel Windlin who I'm just about to start working for. He designed Moonbase Alpha which you might know.
Do you have any interest in Japanese pop culture?
The Japanese people seem obsessed to me; in a good way I think. Even though on the surface Japanese people seem very reserved and straight, you often find that they're into some crazy stuff, Patchinko or weird pornography or something. The culture seems to allow people to live out their obsessions in a way that's not possible here. Pop culture in Japan seems to be another expression of this obsession.
I would love to work there one day.
And the future?
Help the site to grow. Apart from that we'll see what happens.

The new Android Auto officially starts rolling out today, and it's mostly an improvement
Ryan Whitwam
9:00am PDT Jul 30, 2019
Google released Android Auto four years ago, and carmakers have largely embraced Google's take on infotainment. You can plug almost any Android phone into a supported vehicle and get the same interface, which is nearly unaltered since AA's 2015 debut. That will start changing today with the release of the revamped Android Auto. Google previewed the new Android Auto at I/O this year, and I've had the chance to use it in my car for the last week.
The new Android Auto adds some features I've wanted since the original release, but the core of the experience—the apps—remain mostly the same. At the same time, Auto's Assistant features get more prominent placement, and some of my favorite notification features get the boot.
You'll immediately see the difference after booting into the new Android Auto. It has an honest to goodness home screen with your most recently used apps up at the top. The rest of your apps live in a scrollable list below that. This makes it easier to know when your phone apps have Auto modules because they're all in one place instead of hiding in the double-tap menus of the old UI. Features that are exclusively voice-based (like News and the Calendar) have app icons in the list with a small Assistant badge. That makes them easier to access, so you don't have to remember to use an Assistant command.
The navigation bar is completely different in the new Android Auto as well. Your home button is on the far left (more accessible for the driver), and the area next to that displays ongoing tasks. For example, if you have Maps open and you're playing music in the background, the navigation bar has playback controls. If you switch to the music player, the nav bar will display your next turn from navigation. The app icon in this area also acts as a quick switch shortcut.
Google has also recognized that most car interiors are on the dark side, so the new Android Auto matches. The theme is dark with bright accents and new fonts that should be more readable at a glance. The look of individual apps changes only slightly in this update. The somewhat clunky drop-down menus in media apps are still there, but the progress bar is now a circle that fills in around your play/pause button.
I've wanted a proper notification center since the early days of Auto, and we finally get one in the new update. However, it does come with a drawback. Apps with notification support in Android Auto will populate the new notification list, which is accessible via a button toward the right of the new nav bar. The organization is much better than the old Auto that just mixed messages in with other notifications. However, those "other" notifications are gone. Contextual information like suggested contacts, navigation destinations, and the weather don't appear in the new notification hub. If you want the weather, there's an Assistant "app" icon in the launcher. I miss being able to tap a single button to start navigation to an address I just looked up, but the notification changes are still good on balance.
Google says the new Auto will be able to resume audio when you plug it in—it's a toggle in the settings. In the past, Auto has been hit and miss about starting playback when plugged in. Now, it should remember the last app you used in the car and start it up instantly. This has been working for me since the update. Hopefully, that continues.
If you've got a car with a wider display (I don't), the new Android Auto will also fill the full space. In these vehicles, the navigation bar moves to the left side, and some of the contextual nav controls appear in a panel on the right.
The rollout
The new Android Auto will start hitting phones today (it actually started a little early), but very few will get the update right away. It'll take several weeks before most phones have it. All you'll need is an updated Auto APK, and you can get that from APK Mirror right now. There may be a server-side piece of the update, but the APK will get you closer to the new UI.
Keep in mind, the phone screen version of Auto is going away. So, everything we've talked about applies only to Auto on your car's display. Google will migrate phone screen users to the Assistant driving mode feature soon.
