Measuring for a garage door is not as simple as measuring the rough opening width and height. Other measurements need to be accounted for to ensure the springs, track, hardware and garage door opener fit properly. Key spacing for headroom clearance, sideroom and backroom must also be factored into new garage door installations.
Failing to account for headroom, sideroom or backroom requirements will cause you huge time and financial burdens. In the following article I will explain how to measure and plan for garage door installation, as well as measuring existing doors. This step by step guide will help you measure your garage door opening correctly the first time.
What if some measurements aren't level or square?
How to measure garage door headroom?
As a general rule the rough opening should be the exact same size as the door you intend to install. A common single car door size of 9ft wide by 7ft tall should also have a rough opening 9ft wide by 7ft tall. When measuring garage doors the width is always given first followed by the height. So 9×7 implies a door that is 9ft wide and 7ft tall.
Some builders frame the garage door rough opening width down to 8'10" or 8'11" for a 9ft wide door so that the metal door end stiles rest up against the door jambs. This isn't necessary, but some builders claim this has a few important benefits – reducing the amount of rattling in windy environments and providing a better seal in climates receiving heavy snowfall. It also hides the non-painted metallic colored end stiles of some doors from exposure in the absence of perimeter seal.
While door widths can be cheated short on rough openings the door height is almost always framed to match the exact rough opening height. The door will naturally sit about 1/2″ off the floor due to the bottom aluminum retainer and seal. Installing a door taller than the rough opening height can also cause cause problems with headroom clearance requirements.
Chances are whoever constructed your rough opening did a decent job at keeping everything level and square, but in the event you are re-purposing an opening its important to take several width and height measurements.
Instead of measuring from the center of the header and jambs you might consider taking two width and height measurements from offset positions. This ensures that there aren't any usual dips in the concrete or slopes in the header. This becomes increasingly important on taller doors on older buildings.
If you are measuring for an existing garage door to be replaced you should be measuring both the rough opening and the existing garage door panel configuration. While a 7ft tall garage door has (4) 21″ sections, an 8ft garage door is made up of (2) 21″ sections and (3) 18″ sections. Some carriage house doors and commercial doors are (4) 24″ sections.
It is important to match the existing configuration, especially if multiple doors are installed on the same garage side by side. You want them to have identical panel configuration and layout.
Its pretty common to have an unlevel floor with dips, crowns or slope. Garage doors are never installed to match the slope of the floor. Instead the bottom retainer and seal can be adjusted. Instead of a standard 2″ flat retainer and 3 3/4″ wide bottom seal adjustable retainers and wider seals are used.
Adjustable aluminum extrusion have 3″ side walls in the shape of the letter "U". The go over the bottom section of the door to match the slope of the floor. Then a slightly wider bottom weatherstrip is installed in the retainer to help provide better seal.
All garage doors should have perimeter weather seal called vinyl door stop. This type of seal is nailed to both door jambs and header to seal the door and cover up any gaps. Matching color trim nails are installed 18 inches apart to secure the VDS in place.
As a general rule a minimum of 18″ of headroom is recommended for all garage doors. This allows for pretty much any type opener, hardware, track combination to be installed. Sure you can get by with less headroom clearance, but this severely restricts you to certain door configurations.
Most people forget that headroom isn't just a header to ceiling measurement – its a header to nearest obstruction measurement. While you might have 3 feet of available space above the door, if you have a pipe or duct work 10″ above the header in the travel of the door that presents a problem. You will either have to go over the obstruction with high lift track or under the obstruction by framing down the opening.
Garage door openers with drawbar operation have rails that are about 2 1/2″ tall. If space is tight above the door this added space requirement will need to be accounted for. If you want to install an opener on an existing door you will need to about 3″ of additional headroom to fit the rail and mounting bracket above the torsion spring shaft.
Space for sidemount jackshaft openers is similar to standard openers. The casing for the opener sits above the torsion spring line. Because of this 4 inches of space above the torsion shaft is required.
The easiest way of measuring headroom on residential doors is measuring from the header to the nearest obstruction. Given residential doors are under 9 feet in height you can easily use a standard tape measure and see obvious obstructions.
The second method is measuring from the floor to nearest obstruction and subtracting the door height. This method could be used on taller doors if you don't have a ladder available. A laser tape comes in handy for commercial sizes openings that lack proper lighting as well.
The vertical tracks in the opening require space for the "L" shape brackets to fasten properly to the door jambs. Standard residential tracks are installed "leg out" where the jamb brackets extend outward toward the exterior wall and secured with lag bolts. On each side of the garage door a minimum of 4 inches of side room is required for residential 2″ vertical track. For commercial doors with standard lift 6 inches of space is required.
Sideroom is measured from the door jamb to the nearest obstruction, usually being a wall. In addition to the track brackets needing space to be fastened, the tube or shaft for the torsion springs also needs space. The typical shaft or tube on a 16ft wide garage door actually measures 16'10". Of course the tube can be cut down on each side, but the minimum tube side is about 16'8″.
Standard drawbar openers with a rail and J arm system are almost always installed within the width of the door, but sidemounted openers have special sideroom requirements. The motor and casing for the Liftmaster 8500 jackshaft opener requires 8 inches of space to the nearest obstruction (sidewall).
Also called "depth",backroom is a measurement from the header to the nearest obstruction behind the travel of the door while overhead. Backroom is important as it ensures the door, opener and horizontal tracks will have enough space to be installed.
Measurement Description Door opening header to nearest obstruction (ceiling) Door jambs to nearest obstruction (side wall) Interior face of header to nearest obstruction (back wall) Rough opening inside of both door jambs. Floor to rough opening header.
Unlike sectional garage doors that link together with hinges, rollup doors roll into a barrel and mount over the header. The diameter of the barrel increases proportionately to the height, gauge and insulation inside the curtain. Measuring the height and width of a rollup door is much the same as the sectional door, but the headroom and sideroom requirements differ greatly.
Measure the height and width of the opening at its highest and widest point. Look for irregularities like jambs that aren't square. Sectional doors can be 30 feet wide where as rollup (sheet) doors usually stop around 20 foot widths. To get a wider barrel style door you will need to go with a rolling steel door vs a sheet (rollup) door. Rolling steel doors are strong because they are composed of interlocking slats as opposed to one continuous sheet.
If you intend to install a rollup door, but don't know what model or features you want its best to leave yourself 24 inches of headroom. Minimum headroom space for barrel style doors is dependent on the thickness of the curtain and the height of the door. Taller openings require more headroom since as the door rolls up the barrel increases in diameter.
The same can be said for insulated rollup doors and doors with heavier gauge steel. Entry level mini storage models like the m650 only require 18″ of headroom while the model 2500 26 gauge steel door requires 23″.
If you plan on adding a hood cover or insulation you will need to add an additional 2 inches of space.
Sideroom requirements are higher for rollup doors vs sectional doors. You will need at least 9 inches of sideroom space on each side of the rollup door. If you will be adding a side mounted opener you will need 24 inches of room on at least one side. Actual sideroom needed for an opener will depend on the model being installed.

The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/tucker-carlson)
Unleash the Hounds! (Link Roundup)
By Jason Pitzl-Waters | February 26, 2013
There are lots of articles and essays of interest to modern Pagans out there, sometimes more than I can write about in-depth in any given week. So The Wild Hunt must unleash the hounds in order to round them all up.
For those who haven't been following the Fox News/Tucker Carlson Pagan holidays at the University of Missouri saga, the Religion News Service (conveniently headquartered at Mizzou) gives a quick run-down. Of course that isn't the end of it as Fox News host Bill O'Reilly decided he needed to have a go at the issue last week, and despite the requisite mockery admitted that "I don't see anything wrong with this as long as the university is upfront about it … it is a movement, there are Wiccans and Witches and they do what they do … this is America." Tonight on BlogTalkRadio Circle Sanctuary's Selena Fox will be hosting a Pagan town hall on what our community can learn from this experience. PNC-Minnesota has a piece up about the much-talked-about PantheaCon 2013 panel on privilege held in the COG/NWC/NROOGD suite, and moderated by T. Thorn Coyle.
Pagan Community Notes: Dennis Presser, SJ Tucker, Fox News Responses, and More!
Pagan Community Notes is a series focused on news originating from within the Pagan community. Reinforcing the idea that what happens to and within our organizations, groups, and events is news, and news-worthy. My hope is that more individuals, especially those working within Pagan organizations, get into the habit of sharing their news with the world. So let's get started! In Memoriam: Dennis Presser (1958-2013): Circle Sanctuary has announced that longtime Circle and Pagan Spirit Gathering community member Dennis Presser passed away last week from natural causes.
Pagan community responds to inflammatory Fox News comments
As Heather Greene reported yesterday here at The Wild Hunt, the Pagan community has been reacting to inflammatory and offensive statements made by Fox News and Fox & Friends Weekend personalities regarding the University of Missouri adding the eight Wiccan Sabbats to its "Guide to Religion."
Since then, the response from Wiccans and other modern Pagans on social media sites like Facebook have been heavy and sustained. More than 25,000 individuals have signed a Causes petition demanding an apology, and over 4000 have signed a Change.org petition demanding the same. "Fox and Friends on February 17, 2013 decided to belittle women, make fun of a Federally recognized religion, present inaccurate information as "facts" concerning the religion of Wicca, and decide that religious freedom and respect is ONLY for the mainstream or "traditional" religions rather than for EVERY American Citizen regardless of their spirituality. […] They are also doing a lot of damage control by removing this video from the public record due to the backlash it is receiving but I, and many others in the Pagan community will not allow them to hide their bigotry and pretend it didn't happen." In addition, Pagan and Wiccan advocacy organizations have been stepping forward to make statements on the coverage, starting with the Lady Liberty League.
Tucker the Theologian
By Jason Pitzl-Waters | September 7, 2007
That lighthouse of religious tolerance Tucker Carlson, conservative pundit and host of "Tucker" on MSNBC, has shared his theological views on modern Pagans once again. This time he has described the religion of Wiccan lottery winner Ellwood "Bunky" Bartlett as "Satanic"."You're saying basically the U.S. government is subsidizing some kind of devil worshiper, Satanism … That's perfect."For those with long memories, you may recall that Tucker's disdain for Wicca is nothing new. Back in 2005 he had Christian author Catherine Sanders on to discuss her book "Wicca's Charm". "According to a 1986 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals, they are in the eyes of the First Amendment anyway practicing a real religion …

There's an old Peruvian proverb: "Little by little, one walks far."
International investors often dismiss Peru's economy in favor of South American giants like Brazil, but in reality, the country's little steps have resulted in robust growth. In the first nine months of 2014, Peruvian securities produced the highest returns among the corporate bonds of other countries in the emerging markets: 12% compared to a global average of 6.5%.
Peru's Growing Economy
Peru's economy was primarily state-controlled up until the 1990s, when Alberto Fujimori's government ended price controls, removed the restriction of foreign investment, and sold most state ownership in private companies. These reforms have led to sustainable economic growth since in the 1990s, with the exception of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
As of 2019, Peru's economy was dominated by the merchandise trade sector that accounts for 39.7% of its gross domestic product (GDP), followed by the industrial sector's 30.2% share. The country is also a popular exporter of copper, gold, and zinc, with the U.S. free trade agreement helping boost trade significantly since it was put in force in 2009.
The country's stock exchange, the Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL), is located in the nation's capital and houses the popular Indice General Bolsa de Valores (IGBVL) index that tracks the performance of the largest and most actively traded stocks. Notably, the index is heavily weighted towards mining stocks, as the sector represents a large portion of exports.
Investing in Peru with ETFs
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are one of the easiest ways for investors to gain exposure to Peru's economy. These funds provide broad exposure to Peruvian stocks in a single security that's traded on a U.S. stock exchange, which results in both instant diversification and ease of access through regular brokerage accounts, without worrying about foreign legal and tax issues.
The only U.S.-traded Peruvian ETF is the iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index Fund (EPU), which had $205 million in assets under management. The ETF tracks the MSCI All Peru Capped Index and consists of 24 equities with an expense ratio of 0.59%, as of May 2021.
The three largest holdings in the ETF include:
Credicorp Ltd. (BAP)
Compania de Minas Buenaventura SA (BVN)
Southern Copper Corp (SCCO)
Benefits & Risks of Investing in Peru
Peru is classified as a developing economy by most economists, meaning that it entails greater risk than developed economies like the United States, European Union or Canada. But the classification can also be beneficial because developing economies typically have more room for upside and experience greater economic growth rates than possible in developed nations.
Benefits of investing in Peru include:
Improving Economic Policies. Peru's economy has come a long way since reforms began in the 1990s and maintains its investment grade credit rating.
Exposure to Commodities. Peru is well-known among investors for its extensive copper and gold reserves, which have benefited it in the past, as commodities have risen.
Risks of investing in Peru include:
Political/Social Risks. Peru's 2011 presidential elections were very close, social conflicts over natural resources remain and 20% of Peruvians still live in poverty, as of 2019.
Concentration of Risk. Peru's exposure to commodities may have helped over the past decade, but a global slowdown could lead to reduced demand and prices.
Peru may not be as popular as Brazil when it comes to Latin American emerging markets, but its economic performance over the past decade has been impressive, to say the least. International investors seeking additional exposure to Latin America may, therefore, want to consider diversifying into Peru using the iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index ETF (EPU).

Q: How to build/run Java files in VSC with inputs
So I just switched from Sublime to VSC wanting to try it out.

But I'm having some trouble running Java files.
I've done the Code Runner method but the problem is that only outputs code,
no way to input commands.
I save my Java files to different folders depending on their use (some are HW Assignments for example) so messing with file locations and such in VS isn't really an option.
Anyone know if there is a simple way to build & run Java files all within VSC?
Thanks!
Edit: When I try to run it the other way (via debugger) I get the following error:
'C:\Users\micha.vscode\extensions\vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.22.0\scripts\launcher.bat' 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2\bin\java' '-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=localhost:58133' '--enable-preview'

Steamboat Springs resident Mike Knezevich coaching Croatia at the World Lacrosse Championships in Netanya, Israel.
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — The 6-foot-6 freshman Mike Knezevich hadn't figured out his dreams yet when he tried to walk on to the Colorado State University basketball team in 1977.
Then, an assistant coach pulled him aside for some tough love.
To Knezevich, lacrosse was a game played in his college dorm hallways, but next Wednesday, it'll be a game he travels across the world for as assistant coach of Croatia's national mens team in the 2018 Federation of International Lacrosse World Championships.
Knezevich played lacrosse all four years at Colorado State, dabbling in clubs before finding his way into coaching.
Coaching was a way for Knezevich to share a sport that anyone could excel at in the state of Colorado, whether as head coach at the University of Colorado or implementing the first inner-city program at Hinkley High School.
Lacrosse is open to any type of athlete willing to work hard.
It's that kind of mindset that helped him and Bob Heister build the lacrosse program at Steamboat Springs High School in 2011.
While Knezevich helped with fundraising and the recruiting process in the U.S., he reached out to Croatian mens head coach Dino Mattessich in January looking for more hands-on involvement.
His emphasis on strategy and stick work is what led Mattessich to hire Knezevich as assistant coach this February. Lacrosse is only seven years old in Croatia, so the team will likely need to be brought up to speed on its technical aspects.
While in the U.S., Knezevich has scouted Croatia's first opponents: Spain and New Zealand. He also recruited the four American-born players allowed on the roster whom must also prove they also have Croatian lineage.
Mattessich, like Knezevich, is American but moved to the U.S. from Croatia when he was 6 years old, spending time as a player, coach and athletic director at multiple universities. Knezevich's lineage traces back to his grandfather.
Now, both will board a flight next week for training camp in Croatia before competing in Netanya, Israel, at the world championships.
No matter what the outcome, Knezevich hopes his coaching will help grow the game he fell in love with.
"We will really push the stick, absolutely," Knezevich said.
The FIL Lacrosse Championship has expanded its competition from 38 countries in 2014 to 48 countries in 2018. Knezevich is now a part of that.

Indian Adani Group puts polysilicon plans on the backburner
Adani's plan to fully integrate its solar factory in Mundra through to polysilicon production has been put on ice – Image: Adani
Adani Green Energy, a subsidiary of the Indian logistics conglomerate Adani, has put its plan to manufacture polysilicon on hold, reports Indian newspaper Economic Times.
In April 2016 Adani announced it would build a 10,000-ton polysilicon plant as the third phase of a vertically integrated solar manufacturing complex in the Indian state of Gujarat. According to the Economic Times, the first phase, a 1,200 MW module manufacturing facility, is running at only 40% of capacity.

Recently there were the reports that Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga actress Sonam Kapoor has been signed for the leading lady role in Rajkumar Hirani's next film Munna Bhai series. According to a media report, the producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra has been quite impressed with Sonam's performance in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga that he is planning to cast her in Munna Bhai 3 as well.
One close source told Bollywood Hungama, "Sonam in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga reminds Vinod Chopra of Manisha Koirala in 1942: A Love Story (the 1994 film produced by Vinod Chopra starring Sonam's father Anil Kapoor). He is completely in favour of casting Sonam in the next Munnabhai film."
Now, these days Sonam is busy in the promotions of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, she was asked about the same. Sonam totally rubbished all these kind of reports and she said she has only one condition to do Munna Bhai series if it will be made as Munni Behen.
Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor for the first time has shared the screen with her father Anil Kapoor in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, directed by Shelly Dhar Chopra. The film also stars Rajkummar Rao and Juhi Chawla in the leading roles.

It is normal for many patients to feel a sense of anxiety or nervousness before a surgical procedure. Our surgical staff wants to ensure that you feel as comfortable as possible for your procedure.
We offer a variety of options for sedation when you undergo any oral surgical procedure at Permian Basin Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center. The methods used often depend on the preference of the patient, the patient's overall health, and the nature of the surgical procedure.
A local anesthetic is administered in the area that the surgery is performed and can be used in conjunction with other anesthetic options.
IV sedation is administered through an intravenous line and allows the patient to fall completely asleep throughout the procedure. This option is commonly used in semi-invasive surgical procedures, such as bone grafting and extractions, and can also be utilized when patients experience a high level of anxiety.
If you undergo an extensive procedure, such as facial trauma surgery or jaw reconstruction, you may undergo general anesthesia in a hospital or our state-of-the-art surgery suite, which is administered by an anesthesiologist.
Yes! All oral surgeons must undergo extensive training before administering anesthesia. In addition to their training, oral surgeons also have valuable experience in the medical field performing anesthesia, including the administration of operating room anesthesia in hospitals, as well as in-office anesthesia in specialty facilities, while performing oral surgeries. Unlike the majority of general dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons have received the highest level of licensure for dental practitioners to perform anesthesia, which allows them to perform IV sedation or general anesthesia.

Le djebel Lkest (chleuh : ⴰⴷⵔⴰⵔ ⵏ ⵍⴽⵙⵜ Adrar n Lkst ; arabe : جبل لكست) est une montagne située à l'extrémité occidentale de l'Anti-Atlas marocain. Sa cime principale, Afa n Tmzgadiwin, culmine à  d'altitude. Au nord, la large vallée de l'oued Souss la sépare de la chaîne plus élevée du Haut Atlas.

Géographie

Localisation
Le djebel Lkest est situé à  au nord-ouest de la ville de Tafraout. Cette montagne se situe entre les tribus de Chtouka au nord, et les tribus d'Ammeln au sud. Le site est situé à l'intérieur de la chaîne de l'Anti-Atlas occidental.

Au sud, la vallée d'Ammeln, avec ses anciens villages chleuhs traditionnels, sépare le djebel Lkest des terres désertiques commençant au sud jusqu'à l'oasis de Tafraout.

Le côté nord est bien approché depuis Ida Ougnidif, tandis que le côté sud est situé à proximité de l'oasis de Tafraout, une petite ville située à environ  au sud de Marrakech et  au sud-est d'Agadir.

Topographie
Comme presque toutes les montagnes de l'Anti-Atlas, le djebel Lkest se caractérise par des roches fortement érodées et des éboulis meubles.

Afa n Tmezgadiwin

Afa n Tmezgadiwin () est le point culminant de la puissante crête - dépassant  d'altitude - qui part du col Tizim Waylim () à l'ouest et se termine sur le col Tarakatin () à l'est, sur environ 35 kilomètres de longueur.

Udem Ugerzam

Udem Ugerzam (ou tête du Lion) est situé dans la partie sud du groupe Adrar El Kest, surplombant juste la vallée d'Ammeln. Sa face sud, surplombant l'oasis de Tafraout, est nommée « face du Lion » en raison de sa ressemblance surprenante avec une énorme tête de lion, surtout lorsqu'elle est vue en fin d'après-midi.

Climat
Peu de pluie tombe dans toute la région. Si la neige tombe en hiver, elle fond généralement en quelques minutes ou quelques heures sous le soleil diurne.

Activités
Le djebel Lkest est une des zones d'escalade intéressantes et développées de l'Anti-Atlas.

Russian Jet Down: World Leaders Comment On Turkey's 'Right To Protect Borders'
By Sounak Mukhopadhyay

Turkish authorities gunned down a Russian Sukhoi Su-24 Tuesday, blaming it for violating Turkish airspace. Russia denied Turkey's claims of airspace violation. Here are reactions from world leaders on the incident.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday that Turkey's action was to defend its own security. The action was taken to defend the "rights of our brothers" in Syria, CNBC quoted the Turkish president as saying.
Erdogan said the Russian jet had been shot in Turkish airspace even though it crashed in Syria. He added that two Turkish citizens got injured as some parts of the Russian jet had fallen in Turkey as well.
Russian President Vladimir Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin compared the incident to being "stabbed in the back." He said Turkey was an accomplice of terrorists. He added that there was no other way to describe the incident as he mentioned the Russian military was doing "heroic work against terrorism."
"Do they want to make NATO serve ISIS?" Al Jazeera quoted the Russian president as saying.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that NATO stands in solidarity with Ankara and supports Turkey's territorial integrity. He asked Russia and Turkey to have "renewed contacts" to initiate "calm and de-escalation."
"The common enemy should be ISIL [ISIS]," he said.
The U.N. secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon said urgent measures should be taken to de-escalate tensions between Turkey and Russia.
According to U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric, the U.N. chief hopes for "a credible and thorough review of the incident" to help prevent future recurrences.
U.S. President Barack Obama
U.S. President Barack Obama said the incident pointed to "an ongoing problem" with Moscow's operations in Syria. It shows the Russian military is very close to Turkish borders, he said.
"If Russia is directing its energies towards Daesh and ISIL, some of those conflicts or potentials for mistakes or escalation are less likely to occur," Obama said while using a pejorative term for Islamic State.
"Turkey, like every country, has the right to defend its territory and its airspace."

THOMAS: Media meltdown
By Cal Thomas - The Washington Times - Wednesday, November 5, 2008
More than the economy has melted down. What remains of big media credibility has also liquefied and won't recover anytime soon, if it ever does.
Don't take my word for it. The ombudsman for The Washington Post acknowledges that conservatives have a point when they claim an imbalance in coverage of Barack Obama and John McCain.
In her Nov. 2 column, Deborah Howell writes, "…it's true that The Post, as well as much of the national news media, has written more stories and more favorable stories about Barack Obama than John McCain. Editors have their reasons for this, but conservatives are right that they often don't see their views reflected enough in the news pages."
What might be "their reasons"? There is only one answer: Too many journalists have been in the tank for Mr. Obama and wanted to see him elected president. Some Post reporters (Ms. Howell doesn't say how many) "complained to me that suggestions for issues coverage have been turned aside" in favor of horse-race coverage, despite reader complaints about too much coverage of the race itself and not enough of the candidates' positions on the issues.
Journalism is the only profession I know that ignores the wishes of its consumers. If a department store found that most of its customers preferred over-the-calf socks to ankle-length socks, would that store ignore customer preferences for the longer socks because the president of the company preferred the ankle-length style? Not if the store wanted to make a profit in the sock department. Yet journalists have this attitude: "we know what's good for you, so shut up and take it."
Ms. Howell calls this arrogance, "a disease easily caught by journalists, who can overlook its symptoms." One sees this on cable TV. Larry King will assemble a "panel" of journalists to answer the question "Are the media biased?" The journalists declare they are not and that is supposed to settle the matter. In only the rarest of cases are they confronted with their biases and held accountable.
That is because, as Ms. Howell writes, "We believe that we have a collective 'nose for news' and the judgment to know best what readers need to know and how to present it. We believe in our own wisdom and experience and in the purity that keeps us out of politics and special-interest groups. We have our own rules and we don't change them. We seldom ask for input from readers. We believe that if it weren't for us, the world couldn't be as well informed and democracy wouldn't operate as it should."
Re-read the sentence, "We have our own rules and we don't change them." That is what's wrong with modern media. Everything else gets updated, including our computer software, but the big media won't change. They remain locked in a '60s liberalism and a supreme self-assurance that only they know what's best for the country. When information options were fewer, they could get away with it. No more. News consumers now have many choices.
The media rationalize their loss of readers and viewers by blaming the Internet and alternative media, like talk radio and cable. But if the big media had practiced balanced coverage, chances are that talk radio and cable news might not exist. These prosper because they circumvent the biases of the established media.
You know things are bad when journalists begin admitting bias. Columnist Michael Malone wrote on ABCNews.com that campaign coverage has been so biased, he is ashamed to tell people he is a journalist. The Colorado Springs Gazette carried an opinion column about "The Death of Objectivity," which criticized slanted coverage.
Most people will never meet a presidential candidate so their impressions are formed by media coverage. If Mr. McCain is portrayed as old and out of touch, rather than experienced and toughened by his prisoner of war experience and Mr. Obama is presented as young, hip and "news," that leaves an impression on those voters who don't dig beneath the superficial.
The media now own Barack Obama. Let's see how long they take to turn on him once he starts making mistakes. The public has already turned on big media, but big media is too into denial to notice. People are no longer buying their product; newsrooms are being downsized. "Journalists" are now left to wonder what happened to their once-great profession, as they pick up their final paychecks.

My name is Paul and I have been a buyer of used cars in East Brisbane for many years now.
My warehouse/shed is based in Mansfield, and I live in Norman Park so it is fair to say I am a local.
I buy used cars of most makes and models depending on a few factors.
Generally your car needs to be running – or have a simple (or known) explanation as to why it is not.
I buy utes, sedans, hatches, family cars, work cars, vans – you name it I probably buy it.
Your car does NOT need to have registration – nor does it need to have a roadworthy certificate (RWC).
As a licensed motor dealer, not only can I see past these things, I am legally allowed to trade cars without one of both of these things.
Perhaps you need cash fast?
Or maybe you are leaving the country soon either permanently or an adventure?
Are you a backpacker finishing your Australian trip?
Did you buy a new car and this one now has to go to make room?
Did you get a trade-in offer you rejected?
Do you not want to go to all the hassle of preparing your car, getting a RWC, advertising it online and having strangers kick tyres at your place of residence?
These are just some of the reasons people call me and sell their cars to me on the spot.
The overriding reason is that I just make the process quick and easy.
If you live in East Brisbane and the car you want to sell today, soon or now is located here, just give me a call. Perhaps you can drop by my shed in Mansfield or I may be able to come to you depending on your timetable.
Either way, we can sort it all out today and you can be rid of your car today.
Or you can simply fill in the basic details of your used car you want to sell in East Brisbane by filling out the used car details form on the homepage.

Self Driving Didi Baidu JD.com Meituan
China's Self Driving Sector Gets a Boost From COVID-19
Sophia Yu
posted on July 7, 2020 1:37 pmEditor : Chen Du
The SARS outbreak in 2003 has been credited with boosting China's e-commerce. Now, there's little doubt that the Covid-19 may give a kick to the country's self driving technology as well.
China's ride hailing giant Didi Chuxing launched robotaxi service, first of its kind in China, in Shanghai on June 27, allowing people to sign up through the main app and request on-demand rides for free. The autonomous rideshare service is limited to designated open-traffic areas in Shanghai's Jiading District as a pilot project. The company also plans to expand the offering to Beijing and Shenzhen later this year.
Although the leader in China's rideshare sector, Didi is only one of a few top domestic players in terms of self driving technology. Tech giants, including Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, e-commerce giant JD.com, and even local services giant Meituan, plus dedicated startups like Pony.ai, and electric carmakers like NIO, all have their respective self driving research and/or business units.
These companies were able to advance their researches significantly within the past few years thanks to a relatively open road test environment, both physical and policy-wise, that matches their counterparts in the United States.
Companies can quickly apply their computer vision-based self driving technologies onto open test areas that are on public roads across 19 Chinese cities so far. Test roads in Beijing alone has a total length of 700 kilometers, or about 435 miles.
Baidu is no doubt the leader in self driving in China, in terms of kilometers covered.Among 13 companies whose self driving cars drove 886,000 kilometers in Beijing last year, Baidu's Apollo division covered 754,000 alone.

The Covid-19 pandemic might offer a unique opportunity for self driving to prosper in China, thanks to lighter municipal traffic across China.
Take Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic and the earliest city to go into lockdown, for an example. JD.com, one of China's most used e-commerce website, deployed its un-manned vehicles exclusively on the 600-meter route between one designated hospital and its fulfillment station in order to maintain deliveries and minimize risks the same time.
The company reported that the vehicle carried out 70% deliveries of medical supplies purchased on JD.com to the hospital. By April, when local transmissions of the deadly infectious disease had been largely contained, JD.com had deployed about 50 unmanned vehicles in Wuhan.
During the pandemic, self driving cars and robots in general have been extensively used in disinfection, food and drug deliveries, etc. Unmanned vehicles designed by a company called Neolix, outfitted with disinfecting devices, tour the roads of Shanghai's Zhangjiang district.
The pandemic moved up Meituan's plan for its own unmanned delivery unit by 11 months, according to Li Da, head of the unit, who said his team worked non-stop for three days to retrofit their testing vehicles to be commercially ready for food delivery orders.

Chinese National Development and Reform Commission and other ten authorities jointly released a document titled Intelligent Vehicles Innovation and Development Strategy back in February. "The promotion of intelligent vehicle technologies will also stimulate industries of chip, software, information communication, data services, among others," it reads.
The policy's mention of information communication refers to key communication technologies used in self driving, including vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-road, and to everything else, which combined could make self driving safer for all participants in the traffic.
Didi's new robotaxi unit in Shanghai operates with a complex technological backend that include a first-of-its-kind fleet control center that monitors vehicles and assists in routing support in real time, with the help of a massive array of sensors, in the form of smart traffic lights, utility poles, etc. pre-installed in intersections within the designated testing area.
Didi is among the leading companies to leverage artificial intelligence, 5G connectivity and other technologies to construct Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure Systems (CVIS), a part of the regime's "new infrastructure" strategy to transform China into a smart country. A number of provincial and municipal governments had also approved such systems during the pandemic to be built.
The fatal SARS outbreak in 2003 has been credited with boosting China's e-commerce. Now, there's little doubt that the Covid-19 may provide a kick to the country's self driving technology as well.

Belarus In Full-Blown Hyperinflation Panic: Blocks News, Online Stores; Bans All FX Trading For 2 Years
Submitted by Tyler Durden: "We have to do something with these Belarussian rubles," exclaims one Belarussian as she shops to turn worthless rubles (BYR) into physical assets. As AFP reports, The Belarussian currency was dragged down by the slide of the Russian ruble last week, leading authorities to impose draconian measures, forbid price increases even for imported goods, and warn people against panic. Now, however, in an effort to stem the flood of hyperinflating domestic prices, authorities have blocked online stores and news websites to stop the run on banks and shops as people scramble to secure their savings. One of the blocked news websites noted, it "looks like the authorities want to turn light panic over the fall of the Belarussian ruble into a real one," calling the blockages "December insanity."

It's WAR On The Streets Of America
Make no mistake – there is now a state of open warfare on the streets of America.
By Michael Snyder: Earlier this year it was being reported that the number of police officers killed on the job was up 40 percent in 2014, and that was before all of the civil unrest caused by the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. At this point, attacks on police officers are becoming a frequent occurrence all over the country, but no incident has stunned the nation as much as the "execution-style" murder of two NYPD officers on Saturday by a radical Islamic gunman identified as Ismaaiyl Brinsley. Just prior to the attack, Brinsley posted a message on Instagram in which he declared that he was "putting wings on pigs today". Many would like to dismiss this as an "isolated incident" and pretend that everything is just fine in America, but that is not the truth. The reality of the matter is that anti-police sentiment in this country is at an all-time high, and the level of anger and frustration in our increasingly radicalized urban communities has reached a boiling point. As economic conditions continue to deteriorate and police tactics become even more brutal in the years ahead, the kind of rioting, looting and senseless violence that we witnessed in Ferguson is going to become commonplace in major cities all over the United States.
Going Your Own Way: The Minimalist Option
By Aaron Clarey: Minimalism is bantered about as a Buddhist "Zen" type of philosophy. But if you take the time to think it through and realize what it truly means, you'll soon realize that it is the key to happiness in life. Setting yourself free from the shackles of corporate employment allows you to spend your life on you, your loved ones, and (as it just so happens) it may be the key to riches. You owe it to yourself to have a more thorough and deeper understand of minimalism.
Minimalists or "Galtists" do not hate work as much as they hate authority. So much so that they are willing to minimize their lives, thereby lessening their need for employment and, consequently, minimizing the time they need to "suffer" working under an authority. They value their time and freedom above all else and couldn't care less about a mortgage, a car, or other standard staples in life. As long as they're not answering to some boss or clocking in at the factory, they are happy.
Because of this, their "job" isn't to make money but rather to minimize their spending. However, to what extent they pursue this depends on the individual. At some basic level, everybody is a minimalist. Nobody likes work and we'd prefer never to work again if given the choice. Therefore, we may downsize our house or cut out the cable to make ends meet and avoid taking another job. However, true "minimalists" go to the extreme: living in trailers, generating their own electricity, and getting by on less than $5,000 a year. What extremity of minimalism you might wish to achieve depends on your own personality. But somewhere between "cutting back on sushi" and "living in a trailer using car batteries for electricity" is a happy medium that may suit a lot of people.

Leaked CIA Reports Say 'Targeted Killings' Unsuccessful


We want to hear your review of The Amazing Spiderman 2! Leave us your comments and reviews, and we'll feature them on an upcoming episode of the podcast!
I loved it. I was expecting a hodgepodge of awful after the third Raimi movie tried three villains, but this one handled it pretty well. Sure, some of the dialogue and logic was a bit off because they were trying to expedite the narrative, but the acting was great and made me care about the characters in a way I only felt toward Uncle Ben in the first one.
B.J. Keeton liked this on Facebook.
I'm still not sold on this reboot being necessary, but I did enjoy this movie a lot. This film nailed Spidey's wise-cracking better than any other Spider-man movie. And **VAGUE SPOILER** even though they did the thing we knew they would do, they managed to make you really, really not want that thing to happen.
1000% agree, Jennifer Butler Keeton!

Focussing on women's homelessness in Hamilton
Attention to Indigenous, trans community also on agenda at National Conference on Ending Homelessness which begins Monday in Hamilton
By Teviah MoroSpectator Reporter
Fri., Nov. 2, 2018timer5 min. read
updateArticle was updated Mar. 02, 2020
It wasn't too long ago that Tracy Levy counted herself among the ranks of Hamilton's homeless.
She and others lived on a sliver of wooded land near Highway 403 during a recent summer and fall.
"We had it really nice in there," Levy said during a late October afternoon in the east end.
Her mind, however, was more focused on the present: she'd been told to vacate her home of two months because the place was up for sale.
Before that, she had to leave another place "due to some un-choice roommates" and violence.
The 45-year-old said it hasn't been easy to get by alone with Hamilton rising rents.
"It's very, very important to have a safe place and lots of people don't have that at all."
Increasingly, that safe and secure place is harder to come by for women, a recent report by the Social Planning and Research Council of Hamilton concludes.
More are being priced out and into precarious situations despite an increase in funding for programs, the SPRC reported in February.
In December 2017, for instance, staff had to turn women away an average of 19 times per night because of full beds with shelters at 109 per cent capacity.
Women's homelessness must be seen through a gender lens that recognizes its nuances, says Katherine Kalinowski, noting it can be an "invisible" phenomenon.
"We find it far more difficult to quantify or scope the problem of women's homelessness."
Abuse and violence are the primary causes of homelessness in women, says Kalinowski, who's co-chair of the Women's Housing Planning Collaborative.
Yet women are more likely to obscure their situation due to exploitative relationships or concerns about losing custody of children.
Kalinowski, who's also chief operating officer of Good Shepherd Centres Hamilton, said the importance of that gender lens is gaining "currency" in her sector.
This year, several sessions at the National Conference on Ending Homelessness, which is being held in the city Nov. 5-7, are focused on women.
Attendees are invited to learn about Good Shepherd's women's shelter and the collaborative's consensus-based model.
Deirdre Pike, who's with the SPRC, credits the collaborative for putting pressure on government to allocate more money to women's programs.
The effort led to a local funding boost to $3.9 million in 2017/18 from $2.2 million in 2014/15, says Pike, who's co-ordinator of the collaborative.
"It just has to continue. While every sector is stretched, this is one that was ignored for decades."
Much of that will depend on what materializes from the federal Liberals' National Housing Strategy and Ontario's new Progressive Conservative government, the latter a wild card for anti-poverty advocates.
Kalinowski said she's "very concerned" about momentum slowing under Premier Doug Ford and stressed the importance of an "intersectional" approach to homelessness.
That includes the Indigenous community, another focus of this year's conference.
The Hamilton Regional Indian Centre is leading an initiative to open a Housing First program for Indigenous youth.
Endaayaang, which means "our home" in Ojibwa, aims to house 25 kids and provide sustained support services with an emphasis on Indigenous culture.
"In Ontario, there isn't one that is like it. It is not a duplication of any service by any means," organizer Sheryl Green said.
Organizers expect to seek a minor variance at an upcoming committee of adjustment meeting to move ahead with the program's east end home, she said.
The kids will be those leaving child protective services, the justice system, health care, domestic violence or whose safety may be at risk.
Green says the cultural component, which will include the guidance of knowledge keepers and elders, is key to Endaayaang participants' success.
A "point-in-time" homeless count conducted over two days in April found 22 per cent of 338 individuals and 48 families surveyed in Hamilton reported Indigenous ancestry.
"So many of our youth are sleeping outside," Green said. "So to me, there's a huge need."
Another vulnerable demographic that needs more attention is the trans community, says Cole Gately.
Trans issues are more in the public discourse than before, which is encouraging more people to come out, he said.
"But society itself hasn't quite caught up to the fact that trans people are needing services."
For instance, the shelter system operates on a binary, male and female, which presents issues of how to place a trans person who's homeless, Gately said.
Trans people face more barriers to employment, which means they're overrepresented in poverty and homelessness, he said.
Gately, education co-ordinator with Core Collaborative Learning, and Autumn Getty will give a presentation on the topic at the conference.

Women whose homelessness was caused by previous abuse or trauma: 66 per cent

Will an injury be a secret to success for England?
02/03/2016 by These Football Times
WAYNE ROONEY, ENGLAND'S CAPTAIN and top scorer of all time, is out of action with a knee injury for a possible six weeks. Would it be preposterous to suggest that this is actually a good thing for England's chances in Euro 2016?
When Rooney returns from injury for Manchester United he will not have long left to get to full match sharpness before the Euros, let alone hit the kind of form that he used to display. In fact this form has eluded him for much of the season, and the devastating striker of old seems to be past his best. Roy Hodgson has always said that Rooney will be the first on the team sheet, but it could be time for him to step aside and make way for the new crop of English talent.
England now have an exciting line-up full of fresh young talent, and players who have been enjoying spectacular form in the Premier League this season. Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane are two of the frontrunners in the race to claim the golden boot, with Vardy alone being one of the reasons why Leicester are 3/1 at the time of writing for the title the Premier League betting. Vardy's overwhelming pace and ability to blast his way through a defence, combined with Kane's passion and shoot-on-site philosophy could be a winning formula for England.
Just behind them would sit Raheem Sterling and Dele Alli, two of the brightest young talents England has produced in years. Alli has been playing in the number ten role for Tottenham Hotspur this season, and his attacking output has been on a par with Christian Eriksen. Sterling hasn't enjoyed the same kind of form but has shown glimmers of brilliance and his finishing is improving.
Eric Dier and Danny Drinkwater are making very strong cases for controlling the centre of the park. Both have been absolutely pivotal to their sides' strong performances this season, and the Spurs and Leicester connection could be key here. Drinkwater has already helped to set up some amazing goals for Vardy to put away in the league and there is no reason he won't replicate this for England.
At the back, Ryan Bertrand and Nathaniel Clyne will take the full-back positions, providing pace down the flanks. Gary Cahill will take the captaincy role accompanied by Chris Smalling, and Joe Hart is the obvious choice between the sticks, although he may face competition from Fraser Forster.
Of course, this is purely speculation. England managers traditionally don't like to take too many risks and believe experience is key. Rooney probably will play, which means there would have to be a reshuffling of the pack, pushing out the likes of Vardy or Alli. But after 50 years without a trophy, maybe it's time England threw caution to the wind, and went out all guns blazing with an exciting crop of hungry young players like these. Sorry, Rooney, but it's time for you to stand down.
