Dive into the deep blue and you may see them shimmering through the hazy water: sprawling pyramidal structures built by unknown hands, but still patrolled by spiny Guardians - spheroid, cyclopean fish-beasts.
Monuments are rare underwater structures found in deep oceans. They are inhabited by guardians and elder guardians. They are the only place where sponges can be found and one of the only places where prismarine can be found; the other being underwater ruins.
Ocean monuments only generate in areas with a deep ocean biome everywhere within a 16 block square radius around the center point, and an aquatic biome (regular/deep/frozen ocean, regular/frozen river) everywhere within a 29 block square radius around the center point. In order to prevent air pockets, water will generate around the monument as a part of the structure.
Ocean monuments can generate in existing chunks from older versions (1.7 or later when deep water biomes were added although they have been also noted in worlds generated in older versions) of Minecraft, as long as players have not spent more than 3 minutes total near those chunks.
Ocean monuments are always above the ocean floor; they are never buried.
They can be located with ocean explorer maps, which are bought from cartographer villagers with emeralds.
The monument is constructed entirely from variants of prismarine and lit by sea lanterns. It includes a large central section flanked by two wings. Under the monument are 23 giant pillars that stretch to the ocean floor. The main entrance is located at the front of the central section. The base size of the structure is 62 × 62 blocks.
The area of the ocean monument will only spawn guardians after generating, also being the only location they spawn. On console version all hostile mobs can spawn in areas of the monument that are cleared of water.
The central section consists of various types of chambers. The chambers are randomly generated; each monument has a different number of rooms (at least six) arranged in a unique manner. The chambers connect vertically and horizontally to the different parts of the monument, including the left and right wings. At the topmost room resides an elder guardian. Around the center of the central section lies the treasure chamber, a tall room with eight gold blocks encased in dark prismarine.
Occasionally, monuments contain a room with several wet sponges on the ceiling. Sometimes, these rooms can come in multitudes. It's possible for a monument to generate without sponges.
One of the wings contains a large room with a small pillar at the center. The room contains a second elder guardian. The other wing is made up of a huge open space with a large, square-shaped platform, containing another elder guardian. A long hallway that arcs around the wings and the back portion of the monument connects the two wings together.
Ocean monuments will always contain three elder guardians - one at the top and one in each wing.
Ocean monuments now generate correctly in Customized worlds.
Ocean monuments now require a larger area of deep ocean at the center to generate.
Added Ocean explorer maps, which guide players to ocean monuments.
Ocean Monument now can generate in Frozen Deep Ocean, Lukewarm Deep Ocean, and Cold Deep Ocean, which previously only generate in normal Deep Ocean.
Improved spawn chances of ocean monuments.
Issues relating to "Ocean monument", "Water dungeon", or "Water temple" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Ocean monuments generate normally in customized worlds with lava oceans set to yes, and some water patches will appear in the lava which will shield themself with obsidian if updated.
Guardians and Drowned are the only hostile mobs able to spawn within the 58×58×23 area containing the monument; normal Overworld hostile mobs will not spawn inside.

Beacons are tiny and inexpensive, micro-location-based technology devices that can send radio frequency signals and notify nearby Bluetooth devices of their presence and transmit information. Smart phones or other mobile devices can capture the beacon signals and distance can be estimated by measuring received signal strength (RSSI).The closer the receptive devices the stronger will be the signals. Powered by coin batteries, they have a powerful ARM processor, memory, Bluetooth Smart module, and temperature and motion sensors. Apart from small standalone beacon devices, PCs, mobile phones and tablets with BLE support can all function as beacons, with the ability to both send and receive beacon signals. Various industrial sectors including retail, transit systems, enterprises, educational institutions, event organizing, finance, travel etc. have started leveraging beacons solutions to track and communicate with their potential and existing customers. A beacon fixed on to a shop wall or event location or any public place, can communicate easily with a corresponding smartphone app and figure out where the person is located currently, with great accuracy. The retailers or event organizations can then come up with a much targeted or personalized communication based on the proximity of the customer.
How Beacon technology helps the retail industry?
Customer experience has become the key for the success of any industry including retail. Retailers can deliver a much more appealing customer experience for the consumers by implementing reliable Beacon Solutions. These micro computing devices can easily figure out interested customers, loyal customers, potential customers exactly where he / she is, what they are interested in when they enter into store environment. This provides an opportunity for retailers to provide a much engaging Customer experience by sending contextually relevant, hyper-local, significant messages and advertisements on their smartphones. Beacons solutions will act as a bridge between the online and offline shopping by capturing and sending consumer data to retailers and vice versa to create a better shopping experience.
Beacon solutions is poised to redefine the communication of a brand with its consumers. It can make stores smarter. When a consumer with a smart phone enters within the proximity of the beacons fixed in retail stores, it can emit radio signals to locate the consumer and update the information with the associated retailer app. It does not require the tedious pairing and connection. The short messages are much focused, it can be to the area you are standing or in can be to the entire store. Based on the location and movement of the customer inside the store, retailers can send targeted messages like available brands on the customers' choice, offers if any, new arrivals based on his previous purchasing history, using the app. This enables the shopping experience more enjoyable by quicker and easier access to the products they are looking for, or send special offers/ discount messages to loyal customers. Beacons enable retailers to capture invaluable data about their consumer shopping trends, behaviors as well as the activity of their in-store staff. Analyzing the collected data is equally crucial for deriving business insights and intelligence. Beacon analytics or analysis of the data gathered using Beacon Solutions will help retailers in creating better business insights, making improvements to the store layout, maintaining service standards and operations that will benefit both customer and retailer.
This runs currently on Apple devices due to iOS compatibility. The android version is also expected soon.
A cross-platform beacon capable of supporting Android, iOS or any platform that supports BLE beacons. This is available in GitHub under the open-source Apache v2.0 license.
This is USB powered and can be broadcasted for long time.

You wait months for a couple of legends to be on stage at the same time, and then you're offered with three!
I've always been a huge, HUGH fan of Bob James. Then I heard his collaboration with David Sanborn on the 1986 album 'Double Vision', and I was hooked. So, you can have an idea of the kind of anticipation I had to see these giants on stage together, touring with a new album called 'Quartette Humaine' and then to also find out that Steve Gadd would be on drums. THE Steve Gadd! Yessir, no '24-hour man-flu now going 48 hours' was not going to best me in battle to see these guys!
So, whenever possible, we try to get permission to photograph during sound-check. It's the only practical way to get a variation of shots, especially when it's a quartet size and upwards. The downside , however, is that the musicians are dressed casually because it's just a rehearsal. But, hey! It is what it is.
Meeting David Sanborn was a real honour. He took the time out to talk to myself and another photographer, and he was just giving. So much so that when management wanted us not to shoot during rehearsals, he responded by saying, "Nah, leave them alone. They're with me!" There with me?!?!? Do you know how rare it is for photographers to have a musician stick up for them??? I salute you, Mr Sanborn.

Q: Как передать в метод нужный мне запрос? Ситуация простая. Есть метод GetData. Он получает все данные из БД и возвращает их.
public List<UserData> GetData(int FL)
{
    string sql = string.Format(@"SELECT id, guid, username, userblob, ""FL"" FROM ""USERS"" WHERE ""FL""={0};", FL);
    ...
            UserData ud = new UserData();
            ud.Id = dr[0].ToString();
            ud.Guid = (dr[1].ToString());
            ud.Name = (dr[2].ToString());
            ud.UserBlob = (byte[])dr[3];
            ud.FL = dr[4].ToString();
            uds.Add(ud);
    ...
    return uds;
}

Однако у меня возникла потребность вызывать его передавая ему другую SQL команду SELECT WHERE IN.
Перавать ее в виде строки не могу т.к. у меня БД определены как абстракция:
        TargetDbContext = DbContextFactory.GetDbContext(_config.FirstDataBase);
        TransitDbContext = DbContextFactory.GetDbContext(_config.TransitDataBase);

Просто для каждой из используемых БД реализован свой метод: GetData и хотелось бы сам запрос определять в самом методе, а не передавать его снаружи. Как такое можно сделать?

A: Попробуйте передавать флаг, вместо строки запроса.
Создаете enum Query {Q1, Q2, Q3};
public List<UserData> GetData(int FL, Query q)
{
    switch (q)
    {
        case Q1:
        {
            string sql = string.Format(@"SELECT id, guid, username, userblob, ""FL"" FROM ""USERS"" WHERE ""FL""={0};", FL);
            ...
            UserData ud = new UserData();
            ud.Id = dr[0].ToString();
            ud.Guid = (dr[1].ToString());
            ud.Name = (dr[2].ToString());
            ud.UserBlob = (byte[])dr[3];
            ud.FL = dr[4].ToString();
            uds.Add(ud);
            ...
            return uds;
            break;
        }
        case Q2:
        {
            string sql = string.Format("что-то другое");
            ...
            UserData ud = new UserData();
            ud.Id = dr[0].ToString();
            ud.Guid = (dr[1].ToString());
            ud.Name = (dr[2].ToString());
            ud.UserBlob = (byte[])dr[3];
            ud.FL = dr[4].ToString();
            uds.Add(ud);
            ...
            return uds;
            break;
        }
    }
}

При вызове функции - передавайте флаг, и тогда будет выполнятся правильная часть кода

Hardly anyone is still without a cup of coffee. Whether at home or in the Office, coffee is the most popular drink of the Germans has been proven, because every year we drink several litres of this aromatic beverage. While it should be of course possible high-quality, tasty coffee, which is drunk from high-quality coffee cups. How eating also applies to drinking: drinking with the eye. Tony D. Bartel might disagree with that approach. Therefore, companies that want to offer a cup of coffee during the business appointment, should not rely on the cheapest coffee cups from the supermarket. This would adversely affect the entire conversation, because a simple and inexpensive equipment does not testify to usually also high-quality products. Therefore, it is better to use high-quality promotional cups with appropriate promotional.

New technology being used on a California farm greatly reduces the amount of water used in rice fields. (Photo: Sittipong / Shutterstock)
Revolutionary irrigation technique aims to quench California rice paddies
Conaway Ranch will become the first sustainable farming initiative in the state to use the technology for rice.
by Jenn Virskus | Tuesday, May 24, 2016
by Jenn Virskus
Rice is traditionally grown by flooding fields with immense amounts of water to feed the rice paddies. One of California's major crops, the $5 billion rice industry exports to more than 100 countries. But severe water shortages due to the ongoing drought have had a massive impact on rice fields, reducing the crop and leading to millions in losses for farmers.
Now, Conaway Ranch, a 17,000-acre sustainable farming group in Woodland, Calif., has announced a project that aims to reduce the immense amount of water traditionally used to grow rice by leveraging new drip irrigation technology developed in Israel. The savings could be enormous.
What is drip irrigation? The video below explains:
Conaway Ranch is located just east of Sacramento in California's Central Valley, which in a normal year is one of the most productive farming regions in the world. It and surrounding counties produce much of the state's tomatoes, walnuts, almonds and grapes, as well as rice. However, the prolonged drought means that farmers get only a relative trickle of water. The UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences predicted that Central Valley farmers stood to lose $810 million just in 2014 due to the prolonged drought.
"We believe this initiative represents the first use of drip irrigation in the U.S. for a rice crop," Conaway's Kyriakos Tsakopoulos said in a statement. "This effort could serve as a model for other farms and potentially save hundreds of thousands of acre-feet of water in California if widely adopted."
The ranch has partnered with researchers at Israel's Ben-Gurion University; Netafim, an Israeli pioneer in drip irrigation technology; and Lundberg Family Farms in Butte County, north of Sacramento, to initiate the project.
Eilon Adar, a professor at Ben-Gurion University and one of Israel's leading water experts, has visited California several times over the past 18 months. He's met with legislators and water resource officials to discuss how Israel has created a surplus of water through innovation, technology and effective water management policies.

Agronomists at Netafim have conducted a few similar rice-crop trials in other countries. Based on results from these previous projects, the trial at Conaway Ranch is expected to produce an improvement in yield, while reducing water use. The system is expected to be installed for the first plantings this spring.
"By researching drip irrigation technology for rice cultivation, the Conaway Ranch owners are demonstrating their commitment to smart water conservation and long-term sustainability," Woodland Mayor Tom Stallard told the Davis Enterprise. "We are so pleased to see this progressive practice being studied so close to our community."

Are Citroëns still made?
1 The French car brands Citroën and Peugeot are not likely to be sold in US soon
2 Citroën left US in 1974
3 Why French cars are not sold in US?
There is still a lot of Citroëns made, and Citroën is in fact one of the most popular brands in a many European countries. Even though they are very common in EU, it is not likely to see them sold in the US in the near future.
The French car brands Citroën and Peugeot are not likely to be sold in US soon
The CEO of Stellantis, the new parent company of recently-merged Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group, has said the Peugeot and Citroen brands are not likely to make a reappearance in the United States any time soon. Stellantis' global lineup includes a dizzying array car brands including Jeep, Dodge Ram, Fiat and Alfa Romeo. All of these brands are sold in the U.S., but there are also Peugeot, Citroen and DS, Opel and Vauxhall that aren't going anywhere soon.
Citroën left US in 1974
PSA Group previously established a small North American headquarters in Atlanta, as part of its plan to sell Peugeots in the United States by 2026.
Peugeot was the last French automaker that sold cars in the U.S. but has not had dealers since the 1980s. Citroën was forced out of the American market by Citroen in 1974. Both French brands are well-known in Europe and South America. Peugeots can even be found as far north as Mexico. Peugeot dealers can be found just one mile from the Mexican border, between San Diego and El Paso.
Why French cars are not sold in US?
French cars in the USA had a problem because Citroën and Peugout were made for French people. Because of the higher fuel costs in Europe, they were smaller and more efficient. They were made for comfort and easy handling, not speed or acceleration. Citroën is very much known for it's small cars.
Another reason, was the reliability of the cars at the time. Americans had become used to levels of reliability from their cars like Toyota had. The reliability if a Citroën and Peugout wasn't that good back in the 70's and 80's.

Men's Swimming and Diving Extends Win Streak against Penn
By Sam O.M. Christenfeld, Crimson Staff Writer
In many ways, the Harvard men's swimming and diving team's meet against Penn on Saturday was business as usual for the Crimson.
Harvard has become accustomed to beating the Quakers, having only lost to Penn twice since the teams first faced each other, with Penn last recording a victory over the Crimson in 1971. Harvard has also gotten used to winning dual meets. The Crimson entered this weekend's matchup with an undefeated record for the season, boasting a run of 15 consecutive victories in dual competition.
Saturday's contest in Providence, R.I., did nothing to snap either of Harvard's streaks. The Crimson (5-0, 4-0 Ivy) breezed past the Quakers (4-4, 2-4), 181-108, to maintain its perfect mark in dual meets and extend its run of wins against Penn to 47 straight.
"I think the results from today really help to build on the momentum that we've been creating over the entire break," co-captain Luke Morgan-Scott said. "At this point, we've been successful at finding what it takes to perform and race well even while being broken down. There is definitely still work to do, but today was a positive sign."
However, there were some unusual elements to the matchup. For one thing, the contest, which was held in Brown's home pool, typically features both the Quakers and the Bears. Brown was notably absent from this year's meet, though, after being suspended indefinitely in December over allegations of hazing.
The Bears' nonattendance did not faze the Crimson, however. Harvard dominated both in the pool and on the boards, picking up 15 first-place results and sweeping the podium in six races. In addition, the Crimson took at least two of the top three spots in 15 of 16 events.
Much of the Crimson's success could be attributed to some of the team's less experienced members. Sophomore Daniel Chang continued his breakout season with a particularly strong meet, winning all four of his races. The Johnson City, Tenn., native opened the competition with a victory in the 200-yard medley relay along with fellow sophomore Dean Farris and seniors Steven Tan and Ed Kim, beating out Penn's second-place lineup by less than half a second. Chang would also collect first-place finishes in the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke events, before touching the wall first in exhibition in the 200-yard IM.
"I was really happy with my swims today," Chang said. "We've been able to have some great training the last couple weeks, and it's really starting to show."
Harvard also benefited from impressive performances from a contingent of its youngest members. Five freshmen picked up podium finishes against the Quakers. First-year Michael Zarian touched the wall second in the 200-yard butterfly, edging out third-place classmate Eric Whisenant by just over a second. Zarian also raced in the Crimson's B lineup in the 200 medley relay, finishing in third along with junior Sebastian Lutz, senior Koya Osada, and graduated senior Paul O'Hara.
Not to be outdone, freshmen Mahlon Reihman and Levente Bathory collected the second and third-place spots in the 200-yard freestyle, with junior Brennan Novak taking top honors in the event. The pair of rookies also battled for finishes in an exhibition in the 400 freestyle relay. Reihman, along with Tan, Kim, and Farris, recorded the fastest time in the event, while Bathory joined up with Lutz, O'Hara, and sophomore Raphael Marcoux to touch the wall second.
"Our coach made it clear to us to us that we would be training through the meet, meaning that we would be swimming both tired and unrested," Reihman said. "It's exciting to see guys get up and continue to race fast at this point in the season while still being physically broken down."
Finally, freshman Alex DeCaprio impressed on the boards, finishing in second place in the one-meter dive with a score of 285.98. Co-captain Bobby Ross won the event with 313.35 points. Ross would also record the highest score in the three-meter dive in an exhibition, earning 310.28 points, as senior David Pfeifer took second.
The strangest outcome of the day also came in an exhibition event. With the win already secured and Harvard's points no longer counting, the Crimson nonetheless raced to win in the 200-yard IM. The result was a peculiar tie, with Chang taking first place, and the next two spots split between Harvard and Penn in a pair of exact ties. Both Zarian and Quakers junior Thomas Dillinger touched the wall in second with a time of 1:51.50, and half a second later, Penn junior Mark Andrew secured third place with a time of 1:52.02, as did Osada.
The technical podium sweep marked just one of several events in which the Crimson took all three of the top spots. In the second race of the day, the 1000-yard freestyle, junior Logan Houck touched the wall first, followed by sophomore Zack Snyder and senior Kent Haeffner in second and third, respectively. Houck picked up a second individual victory in the 500 freestyle, with Novak eight seconds back in silver medal position and Snyder rounding out the sweep in third.
Harvard also put in commanding performances in the shorter freestyle races, starting with the 50 free. Marcoux picked up a solo win in the event, edging out second-place Kim and third-best O'Hara. In the 100 free, Farris touched the wall first with a time of 43.87. Marcoux finished in second, while Kim completed the sweep, beating out the top Penn finisher by over a second.
The backstroke events saw much of the same, with Osada topping the 100 back and taking second in the 200-yard iteration. Junior Daniel Tran outpaced Osada by a second-and-a-half in the 200 back but ended up in third place behind Tan in the 100.
Tan would get an individual win of his own in the final non-exhibition race of the meet, the 100-yard butterfly. The senior's mark of 47.72 seconds saw him finish ahead of Farris, who took second in the event.
With another victory to its name and its perfect mark maintained, the Crimson will turn its attention to the looming championship portion of the season.
"Remaining undefeated following our meet reaffirms our team goals, which are to finish the season without a loss and to claim the Ivy League title," Reihman said. "Our next big challenge will come in three weeks with the HYP tri-meet. Our win streak certainly gives myself and the team confidence going into the next month, but everyone is aware of the work we still need to do."

The doctor ordered a period of complete rest. So, we're still stuck in Bangkok. In a very nice hotel room, watching endless episodes of The Sopranos, losing too many rounds of Scrabble online, and generally waiting for time to crawl by.
It's not as fun as we'd initially hoped. Really. We're feeling kinda excluded from life. Nepal votes today. Historic Polls. And we're not there. Homeless FC had its Singapore premiere. And we couldn't be there. Honestly, this complete rest business ain't much fun.
On the upside, people have been emailing and sms-ing us really encouraging comments about our film. It's a little silly but hey, we're human. The messages made us smile. Someone alerted us to this blog post, and it made us laugh. It's nice – the thought that you, our audience, are as moved by Ah Hung, Ah Lung and Chor Pat's stories as we were. And yes, we think Coco's little girl is an absolute darling too.

Q: Concatenation of dataframes with tuple indices i have a collection of data frames and i want to concatenate them:
1            1,1
    (0, 0)  111
    (0, 1)  256
    (1, 0)  252
    (1, 1)  381

2            1,3
    (0, 0)   50
    (0, 1)   85
    (0, 2)  119
    (0, 3)  191
    (1, 0)   88
    (1, 1)  111
    (1, 2)  157
    (1, 3)  199

3            1,4
    (0, 0)   21
    (0, 1)   56
    (0, 2)   88
    (0, 3)  130
    (0, 4)  136
    (1, 0)   67
    (1, 1)   81
    (1, 2)  121
    (1, 3)  138
    (1, 4)  162

the result should be something like this:
       1,1  1,4  1.3
(0, 0) 111  21   50
(0, 1) 256  56   85
(0, 2) NaN  88   119
(0, 3) NaN 130   191
(0, 4) NaN 136   NaN
(1, 0) 252  67   88
(1, 1) 381  81   111
(1, 2) NaN 121   157
(1, 3) NaN 138   199
(1, 4) NaN 162   NaN

i used this to concatenate the collection:
df = pd.concat(s_ds)

with axis=1 but I get a result with keys separating every element. Could help me in finding a way to merge the collection of dataframe stored in s_ds without the key ?

A: You can use an outer join with df.join (still alright if you have 2-3 dataframes):
In [262]: df.join(df2, how='outer').join(df3, how='outer')
Out[262]:
          1,1    1,3  1,4
(0, 0)  111.0   50.0   21
(0, 1)  256.0   85.0   56
(0, 2)    NaN  119.0   88
(0, 3)    NaN  191.0  130
(0, 4)    NaN    NaN  136
(1, 0)  252.0   88.0   67
(1, 1)  381.0  111.0   81
(1, 2)    NaN  157.0  121
(1, 3)    NaN  199.0  138
(1, 4)    NaN    NaN  162

Here, df, df2, and df3 are your three dataframes.

Alternative using pd.concat (better for multiple dataframes, like your case):
In [278]: df = pd.concat([df, df2, df3], axis=1)

In [279]: df.index = df.index.to_series()

In [280]: df
Out[280]:
          1,1    1,3  1,4
(0, 0)  111.0   50.0   21
(0, 1)  256.0   85.0   56
(0, 2)    NaN  119.0   88
(0, 3)    NaN  191.0  130
(0, 4)    NaN    NaN  136
(1, 0)  252.0   88.0   67
(1, 1)  381.0  111.0   81
(1, 2)    NaN  157.0  121
(1, 3)    NaN  199.0  138
(1, 4)    NaN    NaN  162

If fashion 'wants to kill' its practitioners, that's because it epitomises capitalist innovation at its bare essence, consisting of the sort of change that is only for the sake of the system's survival. Fashion is what is left when all pretence to consumer utility or social improvement is stripped away. The sacrifice of perfectly useful goods to the ever-shifting demands of fashion is a kind of corrective purge, an obliteration of what the philosopher and writer Georges Bataille called 'the accursed share,' clearing the field so that capitalism's competitive mechanisms and requirements for endless growth can continue to function.

FACT-FINDER "we have been immensely impressed by the results they have achieved for us"
"We appointed KLPR to handle all of our PR needs in the UK in 2010, and have been immensely impressed by the results they have achieved for us. Being a German-based company, we needed a PR agency with good relationships with journalists relevant trade press titles in the UK, and KLPR certainly has those in abundance."
Katrin Jähnke, Head of International Business, FACT-Finder
We had already established ourselves as a market leader in our native Germany and KLPR's brief was to raise the profile of the company amongst our potential target audience in the UK. FACT-Finder is a pioneer in search and navigation technology for e-commerce, and part of KLPR's brief was to position us as thought leaders on this topic. We wanted to reach out to e-commerce brands and educate them on the benefits that the technology provided by FACT-Finder could have on their sales conversion rates.
Upon appointment, KLPR immediately set about establishing who the key spokespeople at FACT-Finder were and the areas that they could talk about expertly. KLPR actively keeps abreast of industry issues and topics and drafts thought leadership pieces around these. The team also regularly pulls together press releases and case study materials to be pitched out to the relevant trade media.
KLPR also seeks out speaker opportunities and events that FACT-Finder should be at in the UK in order to generate leads, and for every event we have so far attended, whether as an exhibitor or a speaker, KLPR has made sure that we get the most out of it in terms of PR.
Very quickly we began gaining coverage in relevant publications, thanks to KLPR's excellent contacts with relevant trade press journalists. To date we have received coverage in many prestigious UK trade magazine titles, including E-Commerce Direct, Integrated Retailer, Figaro Digital, The Wall, New Media Knowledge and Cream Global.
KLPR has also been working with us to help raise awareness of our work in the Semantic Search field within the travel sector with our sister company FACT-Finder Travel.
The team behind us at KLPR have really taken the time to understand our business and our objectives in the UK and as a result of that generate thought provoking, intelligent content that is well received by the trade press. We look forward to working successfully with KLPR for many years to come.

do you have any time frame for us?
The last information I had was that it was slated for release in the next week or so. Pricing is still in discussion with his reseller. The plugins are LScript-based, making them portable across platforms (yay!).
The implementation uses textured displacement for terrain following, so sculpted landscapes will not work with it.
Pre-positioned wheels in Modeler mean that you will need to use the offset controls. The recommended approach is to position the wheels in Layout.
I'm keen to see this - I'm hoping the pricepoint is reasonable.
Woohoo! So when can we get our sticky hands on it?
please mate, even beta is OK for now..I am sick of clients who want to see NeedForSpeed within in their archviz renders...I NEED THIS! so very much..
If possible and not too complicate.
Wow! looks great! The tank video is awesome!
that max plugin is insane. I want that one for lightwave! However the car rigging tool is also cool. Can't wait to try it out!!!
An automatic traffic generator for max.
I'm wondering if Bugz could get us halfway there. The vehicles could easily avoid each other and some complex motions on a 2D plane could be made I think.
One problem with Bugz might be keeping the "cars" in their own lanes!
I've tested a 2500*1500 map, worked fine. But remember, VR just copies the displacement info. So after rigging you can delete or swap the ground to whatever.
You can also just have a null with displacement when rigging, works fine.
You can animate very simple traffic by using w_throttle (It wasnt created for grid type traffic so beware...) Created a small video (http://www.vimeo.com/1002000). Nothing like the crazy russian thing but might be usefull for some situations.
As a side note I'm in the process of some R&D for a car rig tutorial which will be available soon.. (http://www.spinquad.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22115) It won't be as interactive, but it will allow for the user to animate as he/she wants, giving them full control..
and your Null Based Traffic Solution is JUST super-clever!
Fantastic job so far .... ;) can't wait to see what people wil do with this when released. Esp. the car guys.
moving to the city..fast as fast..
i got need for speed LIGHTWAVE PLUGIN..
This plugin looks fantastic. It's been a long time ago but I toyed with the idea of automating the vehicle rigging process after developing a similar rig.
It's not as full featured but for 4 wheeled vehicles it's served me well a few times.
Thanks for sharing! Looks useful.

World War 1 Allies
ASHLEY FRIEDMAN
In many ways, the reason that World War I escalated from localized conflict to a global catastrophe was due to relationships between nations. The Allies in World War I were ultimately victorious over the Central Powers who had been at the heart of the initial conflict.
World War I Allies
Why Did the United States Enter the War?
Who Won World War I?
1 World War I Allies
During World War I, the Allied Powers were made up of Russia, France, Great Britain, Italy and the United States. Russia was the first of the Allied Powers to enter the conflict in the Balkan regions after Germany declared war on it in August of 1914. Soon after, Germany declared war on France and invaded Belgium. In 1915, Great Britain was attacked by zeppelin and retaliated against Turkey who had joined the war on the side of Germany. Italy joined the Allies in declaring war on Germany and Austria in 1915, and together the Allies started the evacuation of Gallipoli in December of that year. In 1916, Great Britain began conscription of its people into the military, and the war waged on in Europe, growing increasingly bloody and producing unprecedented levels of carnage.
In 1916, after the sinking of several U.S. merchant ships by German U-boats, the United States joined the war. The United States provided tremendous military and tactical support to the Allies, and their help in the war was instrumental in turning the tide and assuring an Allied victory.
2 Why Did the United States Enter the War?
At the outset of the conflict in Europe, the United States had pledged to remain neutral, as was the country's custom during European wars. The anti-war sentiment was very popular in the United States, and as nearly one-third of the nation's population was made up of immigrants from Europe, the desire to remain neutral was strong. This stance became more and more difficult to maintain in the wake of Germany's unchecked aggression against nonmilitary ships and watercraft.
Germany declared the water surrounding the British Isles to be a war zone and began sinking ships carrying munitions and, in several cases, sinking passenger vessels. In 1915, following the sinking of a ship from the United States bound for England with more than a hundred Americans aboard, American sentiment began to collectively shift against Germany. Several more attacks on American merchant ships were sustained until Congress, under President Woodrow Wilson, agreed to declare war on Germany.
3 Who Won World War I?
Though the carnage during World War I was tremendous, and ultimately the fighting turned into a horrific battle of attrition, the Allied Powers were victorious. In 1918, Germany asked for an armistice, and later that year the nation's own navy mutinied. Shortly thereafter, Austria and Turkey both agreed to make peace. The war officially ended on November 11, 1918.

Retractable Awnings and Pergolas: What's the Difference?
A pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which woody vines are trained. A retractable awning is a rooflike structure, often made of canvas or plastic that serves as a shelter, as over a storefront, window, door, or deck. It is important to make the distinction between the two when decorating your lawn or garden!
What's the difference between pergolas and retractable awnings? A pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which woody vines are trained. As a type of gazebo, it may also be an extension of a building or serve as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions. Pergolas originated in Europe and are well-suited to gardens and courtyards. A retractable awning is a rooflike structure, often made of canvas or plastic that serves as a shelter, as over a storefront, window, door, or deck. It is important to make the distinction between the two when decorating your lawn or garden!
How is a Pergola Different from a Retractable Awning?
Pergolas are sturdy structures that are not easily moved. Once a pergola is built, it usually remains in its location until it is demolished or replaced. Especially when outfitted with flowering plants, a pergola provides aesthetic enhancement to a yard or other outdoor space. Pergolas may be purchased and professionally installed, or they may self-installed with kits available from major retailers and home improvement stores. It is also possible to build your own pergola. Articles and instructions are available online and in books and magazines at your local library and may present a fun DIY project if you'd rather give your garden a personal touch!
Retractable awnings offer relief from heat and protection from UV rays. The area under a retractable awning can be up to 20 degrees cooler than a nearby exposed area. When placed over windows, retractable awnings can help homeowners and business operators reduce their air-conditioning costs during hot weather, as awnings filter the amount of sunlight that would otherwise pass through windows and heat the rooms within. The major advantage of retractable awnings, as opposed to other shade covers and structures, is that they can be retracted when not needed, allowing for maximum natural light on cloudy days and the benefit of changing the look and feel or your passageway whenever the mood strikes.

Initiating Economic Cooperation with Philippine
February 25, 2015 /in EMBASSY NEWS ARCHIVE, PHILIPPINES NEWS /by Admin
Counsellor Korovou convened a follow-up meeting with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Philippines on Wednesday, 25th February 2015 which was presided over by Mr. Raymond Albert H Batac, Executive Director Foreign Trade Service Corps. Officials from the various divisions of the DTI viz Bureau of Micro & SME Development, Consumer & Industrial Division, Export Marketing Bureau, Business Development Division and Industrial Policy Service were in attendance.
Counsellor Korovou and Officials of DTI Manila. At the top right is Mr. Batac Executive Director Foreign Trade Service Corps.
At the outset, Counsellor Korovou sincerely thanked Mr. Batac and his Officials for their warm reception and remarkable presence. She underlined the purpose of her meeting was to follow-up on certain issues that were last discussed at their first meeting held in October 2014 and also to initiate meaningful cooperation that are mutually practical and beneficial. The meeting reiterated the fact that there is currently insignificant trade between Fiji and the Philippine hence, the logic to explore other areas of feasible meaningful economic cooperation. Counsellor Korovou mentioned that the first Philippine/Fiji DCA is soon to be completed and ratified by both the Ministers for Foreign Affairs expectantly by 2nd or 3rd Quarter of the year. To that end, she remarked that the Agreement would leverage some of the cooperation prospects that would be classified in this and subsequent meetings. DTI's request for a copy of a Draft DCA for their information and views was noted.
Few issues were drawn from the outcomes of the previous meeting which encompassed the Philippine national and international trade and investment exhibitions such as the FAME, IFEX, as well as how Fiji would like to learn from Philippine's best practices in the management of SMEs and Micro-business as this is one of the development policies of the Fijian Government to growing a sustainable economy. Mr. Batac advised that it would be ideal for Fiji to first participate as an observer in such immense expositions to gauge the nature of business environment, product types and quality of participants to assist with their diligence on the level of participation – whether as a trade or investment player in successive events. An invitation to Fiji for the next exhibition was noted.
Counsellor Korovou explained that given the paltry level of trade and investment between the two countries it would be ideal to seek cooperation in the areas of capacity building in terms of self-help projects in fashion design and jewelleries, SMEs enhancement, entrepreneurship and management courses for women, and investment/product packaging and promotion strategies for export products. Mr. Batac and the DTI officials concurred with the capacity building cooperation alluded to as appropriate and practical to build and progress economic relations between the two countries, particularly given the backdrop of the Philippine's economy as constituting 99% of SMEs. It was noted that the APEC 2015 in Philippines will host SMEs workshops focusing on capacity building in supply chains – food, handicraft and automotive as the focal products. Counsellor Korovou mentioned that Fiji though not a member of APEC was invited by the Russian Federation Government who played host in 2012 to participate at the APEC meeting in Vladivostok. In that regard, the Bureau of SMEs considered to issue Fiji an invitation to participate at their APEC SMEs programme.
Keen interest focused on fashion design and jewelleries using local resources unique to Fiji per se. Counsellor Korovou mentioned that though this is an infant industry in Fiji there is significant potential based on the talents being demonstrated by youths. Assistance to help produce fashion and jewelleries for high end markets abroad was underscored, as such sector is envisaged to create self-help projects and employment for the Fijians if appropriately supported with the right learning aptitude, skills and entrepreneurial knowledge essential to successfully produce for international niche markets. As such, the DTI recommended dialogue with certain Departments and Organisations to further discuss this initiative, namely the Design Centre of Philippines and Department of Science and Technology. DTI advised that it would be fitting for Fiji to promote its indigenous fabric/resources by maintaining their look but evolve them to attract high end markets. Tax incentives, capacity building, product specification/development, initial financing facilities and subsidisation of raw materials including private sector partnership were underscored to have all contributed to the successful and strong SMEs in the Philippines. DTI mentioned that an ideal cooperation in which Philippine could pursue with Fiji is to learn from its tourism development success inclusive of the construction process of five star hotels and related infrastructure, an area that Philippine endeavours to advance.
By common consent the following were identified as practical spheres of cooperation to explore: exchange of information; capacity development; exchange study missions; expositions and tourism/hotel development. Both parties committed to effect necessary follow-up to progress mutual beneficial economic cooperation between Fiji and Philippine. In closure, Counsellor Korovou thanked Mr. Batac and his team for their time and invaluable exchanges.

If you thought the news of a Full House reboot coming to Netflix was too good to be true, it's time to rejoice because all the rumors and stories have turned out to be true, as John Stamos confirmed that a 13-episode series of Fuller House has been ordered.
It was during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that Stamos spilled the beans, also revealing that he will be producing the show and guest starring on it, too. "We've been working on this for many, many years," he said.
The first one-hour episode will be filmed as a reunion, then it will become a spinoff series starring D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron-Bure) and her three kids, as well as her sister Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and neighbor Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Producers are also hoping to convince other former cast members, like Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, to make appearance.
In Fuller House, D.J. will play a recently widowed veterinarian who's pregnant with her third child and has her sis and best friend, another single mom, move in with her in San Francisco. Sound familiar? Yup!
Fuller House will premiere on Netflix in 2016.


Ensure your family and loved ones are properly cared for after your death – don't assume that your partner will inherit your entire estate, particularly if you aren't married; likewise don't assume that your children will inherit everything if you're divorced and have remarried. Inheritance rules are complex and not what you might expect – it's essential to seek proper legal advice to make sure that your wishes are implemented and that there are no nasty surprises for your family. By making a will, YOU can decide how your estate is distributed.
Dealing with someone's financial affairs after their death can be both distressing and confusing. We can help by taking over the administration of their estate, applying for grant of probate, dealing with insurance companies, banks, pension companies, estate agents, Inland Revenue, getting in all assets, including the sale of any property, paying off any debts and distributing the estate to the beneficiaries.
We can advise what to do if your relative hasn't made a will and you're unsure as to how their estate should be dealt with.

The Peace Resource Center (PRC) at Wilmington College creates a vital connection between the campus community and efforts toward non-violence, social justice, and global peace.
The PRC was founded in 1975 by the Quaker peace activist Barbara Reynolds (1915-1990) who worked ceaselessly toward creating a world free of nuclear weaponry and war and to helping atomic bombing survivors share their stories of the tragedy of military conflict. In the late 1950s, Barbara and her husband Earle became icons of the global peace and antinuclear movement after sailing their yacht the Phoenix into a US nuclear test site next to the Bikini Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Currently, the PRC develops events and programming that encourages dialogue on the Wilmington College campus about how to resolve conflict from the personal to the global level. The PRC assists faculty and students in creating student-led projects, internships, and local/global collaborations so that Wilmington College and its local region can become an even greater part of a global community of peace.
In addition, the PRC is the home of the unique archive, "The Barbara Reynolds Papers" and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Memorial Collection. Scholars throughout the country have visited the PRC to utilize this vast collection of materials for their research on the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Peace Resource Center's non-violence, social justice, and global peace programming, as well as a priceless archive and collection of historical documents, makes it a unique "Hands On" space that promotes and affirms peace as a core value of the Wilmington College mission.

Ruthless Jabiru welcomes guest artist Lara St. John
Posted on 1 October, 2013 by Kelly Lovelady
On 14 October, Ruthless Jabiru will be joined by violinist Lara St. John for the European premiere of Matthew Hindson's Maralinga for solo violin and string orchestra. The work will lay at the centre of a programme paying tribute to Maralinga's dark history.
Canadian-born violinist Lara St. John has been described as "something of a phenomenon" by The Strad and a "high-powered soloist" by The New York Times.
She has performed as soloist with the orchestras of Cleveland, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, the Boston Pops, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, NDR Symphony, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, Strasbourg Philharmonic, Bournemouth Symphony, Ulster Orchestra, Camerata Ireland, Belgrade Symphony, Amsterdam Symphony, and the Akbank Chamber Orchestra in Turkey, among others.
In Australasia, Lara has performed with the Queensland Orchestra, Adelaide Symphony, ACO², Auckland Philharmonia, Tokyo Symphony, Yomiuri Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, China Philharmonic, and the Shanghai Symphony.
She has traveled to Latin America for appearances with the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela, the Sao Paulo Symphony, Rio de Janeiro's Orquestra Sinfonica Brasileira, SODRE in Montevideo and the Sociedad Filarmonica de Lima in Peru.
The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Lara St. John happens to be a volcanic violinist with a huge, fabulous tone that pours out of her like molten lava. She has technique to burn and plays at a constant high heat."
A prolific recording artist, Lara owns and runs her own label, Ancalagon, which she founded in 1999. Her first Ancalagon recording, Bach: the Six Sonatas & Partitas for Violin Solo was the best-selling double album on iTunes in 2007. Her 2008 world premiere recording of Matthew Hindson's Violin Concerto prompted Gramophone to write: "It's the sort of work that should get audiences running, not walking, back to concert halls on new-music nights".
Ruthless Jabiru and Lara St. John perform Maralinga Lament at the Union Chapel, London at 19:30 on Monday 14 October. Tickets are £16 advance from the Union Chapel online store or £18 at the door


Book N Tech: Step up to the Plate, Dell!
Before the rise of Android and the popularity of Apple, Dell ranked supreme in the computer world. I myself am typing this post on a Dell Inspiron laptop. Dell has always been the top computer maker and was seemingly on the right track. With the age of new computing the "mobile way" laptops shrank in width and desktops had screens thinner than a USB flash drive. I bought my Inspiron in 2009 when Vista had came out and was starting to make a name for itself. To me I knew a lot about using a computer, but nothing about hardware. I was about 9 and all I knew was I was getting a laptop. My dad took me to Best Buy and I saw whole shelves of laptops. At the time Dell had a large corporation and all of the current competition was barely getting started. I bought the Inspiron 1545 for about $545. I took it home bouncing with joy not being able to wait to use Windows Vista for the first time. When I got it I had around 3 hours of light to medium work (stop motion animation). Now after all this time it is down to a mere 23 minutes of light work (just looking at pictures). Dell products have been declining in quality now because of larger demand. Now Windows 7 have come to the tablet pc world and they jumped on the opportunity. The Duo the new Inspiron is a netbook and tablet combined into one device has gotten many rotten reviews. Mostly because of the weight and uselessness of touch screen. Once Dell produced the fastest pc's around blowing the competition to dust. Now the only thing I give them credit for is their Alien ware gaming laptops. Dell made a feeble attempt to look good by making skins for your laptop to have a new color. Dell, If you want to be a serious company, and actually try to make products to beat out the Ipad then get back to the drawing boards, hire and fire, and start working!

Happy Independence Day, America! What is more American than a new Brunch & Budget episode? Food is definitely one thing that connects us all together, so it only makes sense that we share our interview with Chris Kim, the founder of the "vegan butcher shop" Monk's Meats.
Starting from his apartment's kitchen, to selling out at food festivals like Smorgasburg on the weekends. Chris is definitely one of our top favorite DDJA interviews.
Want to hear more? Subscribe to us on iTunes. New episodes every Tuesdays!
Chris Kim: I've been vegetarian for 20 years and my partner has been vegan for about 20 years, actually a little bit longer, so, for us, as a vegetarian, vegan, especially in this city, you spend a lot of time making your own food, and you just become very aware of what you're eating.
Chris Kim: The year I decided to become a vegetarian I was…consumed with consuming calories and trying to find a healthier lifestyle…I smoked a lot, I drank a lot, I partied a lot, I ate a lot of meat, I felt like crap all the time.
Chris Kim: When I first became a vegetarian I basically had this idea of like eat a lot of pasta and like cheese pizza. I think I lived for close to a year on like a broccoli roll from the pizzeria around the corner from my house basically everyday. It got pretty boring pretty fast.
Chris Kim: How I started as a vegan chef, I guess, was just trying to feed myself.
Chris Kim: People are overly concerned about money and underly concerned about other social issues.
Chris Kim: We've gotten a lot of flack over the years about the butcher's shop moniker. The idea behind it is really that it's gonna be a place where you, as somebody who's plant based, who's vegan or vegetarian, you can go and get your protein, and have somebody who's knowledgeable about making and supplying protein, just like a butcher.
Chris Kim: There's more skill and care and effort that goes into it then people assume.
Chris Kim: People think it's hard to be vegetarian.
Chris Kim: When people sit down to a plate of food, they're accustomed to a certain way of presenting food, and so when you have your proteins are in beans and in vegetables that are presented as side dishes, then people feel like they're not getting everything, and so you need like main focui for people to psychologically feel like they've gotten a full meal.
Chris Kim: A lot of times when people talk about their favorite dishes and it's something that's a chicken or beef or pork or whatever, it's not even the meat that's actually what they like or are really attached to, it's the flavors.
Chris Kim: It started to get a little too real for a side gig.
Chris Kim: The winter of 2010-11 is when we first started doing it and we did it for a year, nights and weekends on the side and then we started to get more serious.
Chris Kim: I sat down and I did the numbers and I realized that we grew our wholesale business like 35% over the winter and our expenses grew 38%, so we were actually making more money and losing more money.
Chris Kim: The first four years we ran on almost zero waste, like 1% waste.
Chris Kim: You can't treat eating punitively…Food is one of the fundamental pleasures in life.
Chris Kim: For me this was a way to be an activist without preaching to people: to be providing people an option rather than telling them they shouldn't do something.
Chris Kim: We're a business so we obviously have to make money, but we are not a business to make money…the money is a way for us to empower our other goals.
Chris Kim: Our primary goal is to make really good food for people to eat, and our secondary gold is to provide a healthy, nutritious alternative and to give people a path to healthy eating, and our third goal is to have happy employees, and our fourth goal is to make money.


The Mission Critical S.01 Baby Carrier plus S.01 Diaper Bag fits right in with your daily routine. Errands or all day journeys, you can wear the carrier with the bag over one shoulder for maximum versatility. The Baby Carrier allows your little one to face in or out on your chest as they grow. The low-profile Diaper Bag works overtime, separating clothes and snacks from diapers and wipes, with extra pockets for a pacifier, phone, mini tablet, keys, wallet, and a cold beverage.
So far so good. Good quality and very easy to get on and off. My grandson seems to really enjoy it.
I bought this carrier for my gun loving son in anticipation of his son's birth in a couple of months. It is very well made, sturdy and looks manly enough. He loves it! He says he will use the diaper bag as a range bag once junior no longer needs it.
This bag and baby carrier definitely do the job and have a ton of compliments. Very manly investment!
So my wife and I are having our fourth and probably last child. I really wish I found this sooner! I've used the Baby Bjorn but it's built more for my wife's build. I've been using Mission Critical for a week or so and so far, very pleased with the comfort, quality, look of this product.
Amazing quality that'll last a lifetime!

← Thinking of Leaving the United States?-Pulled or Pushed?
I don't generally make resolutions for the new year but this one was easy. I am newly retired and have an opportunity to do more of what I want to do. My first goals are to learn more photography and improve my Spanish. So, a good resolution would be to read and study the books I have, and the rest that will arrive soon.
Then, there are the variety of books on my kindle, and my collection of audio books, and the additional kindle and audio books that tempt me…. I've always loved books!
What have others resolved? Zemanta found a few other posts from this challenge.
This entry was posted in Panama, Photo Challenge, photography and tagged books, Central America, Chiriqui, Chiriqui Province, David, expat, expatriate, International Living, Moving, new years resolution, Panama, Photograph, photography, postaday, Spanish. Bookmark the permalink.
Thanks so much for the pingback! I appreciate it. How did you get the snapshots to appear in the post?
When you go to "add media", look for "set featured image", or it's also at the bottom right of the editing page. you're welcome, and I'm glad it came up because I love your photos!
You're very welcome. We pass enough info around, we'll all get this figured out eventually.
Well since you live in a Spanish-speaking country one would think it will be fun and easier to learn the language by immersion. Enjoy!
It certainly helps, and it increases my motivation to study too. I still have a lot of occasions where I struggle to communicate and especially to understand. I don't have a good brain for languages so it's definitely a process! But, poco a poco (little by little) I am getting better.
just wondering if you are using any type of Spanish program like Rosetta Stone or something on the same line to brush up on your language skills….
I have used Pimsleur audio classes in the past and found them very helpful. Now I am taking classes on line with Habla Ya by internet (http://www.hablayapanama.com/) They are very professional and my teacher has helped me enormously. It's a bonus that she is a local here and can teach me about the customs of the area.
That's a great goal to enjoy your retirement with.
Happy reading 🙂 Starting the year in a great way!

The WGHIG creates opportunities for exchanging knowledge, building researchers skills, networking, and disseminating research findings to inform both policy and clinical decision-making. Members of this group share interests in areas including women's health, maternal health, reproductive health, and LGBTQ health.
The Women and Gender Health Interest Group is committed to improving the quality, efficiency, effectiveness, outcomes of care and the health status of women and men of all ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic status. We seek to build a dynamic community among those who share common goals in understanding how gender and women-specific issues affect health services delivery, access, cost, and quality.
Each Interest Group (IG) is led by a dedicated group of volunteers who shape the information provided to IG members each year. The Advisory Committee is selected on an annual basis with nominations opening in June of each year. Check out this year's Women and Gender Health IG Advisory Committee.
