4. George Oguntade, a former justice of the supreme court, also from Lagos state.


CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Michael Finke scored 17 points off the bench and led Illinois in a 76-64 win over Iowa on Wednesday night.
Illinois got off to a quick 10-0 start in the first few minutes of the game and never gave back the lead.
Offense was not a problem in a game where Illinois (13-8, 3-5 Big Ten) looked dominant, shooting 55 percent from the field in the first half and finished shooting 45 percent, including 9-19 from beyond the arc.
The offense thrived with good ball movement — Illinois finished with 18 assists, the second-most this season.
Maverick Morgan added 12 points and seven rebounds.
The Hawkeyes are in a slump after their impressive win over Purdue. Iowa will have a couple easy games before facing some teams at the top of the Big Ten standings.
The Illini, meanwhile, won a game they desperately need if they have any hope of making the NCAA Tournament. Illinois faces Penn State before Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northwestern appear on the schedule.
Iowa has a few days to relax before the Hawkeyes host Ohio State Saturday.

Q: MSSQL Group by Percentage Im trying to find a way to group my results into 3 groups that are predefined 0-33%, 34-66% and 67-100%. The calculation is already being set as "Depletion". I want to group the top, middle and bottom of this column into the three different groups. Here is the query I'm using from multiple tables.
I assume I need to find the highest value in the SELECT first so that I can calculate the percentage, but I cant seem to find a way to do that. From there I dont know how to group the items based on percent.
SELECT     l.name AS Location, i.name AS ItemName, li.par, COUNT(*) AS Sales, li.par - COUNT(*) AS Depletion
FROM         shoppingcartdetail AS o INNER JOIN
                  item AS i ON i.id = o.itemid INNER JOIN
                  location AS l ON o.locationid = l.id INNER JOIN
                  location_item AS li ON i.id = li.itemid
WHERE     (CONVERT(datetime, o.created_date_time, 101) BETWEEN GETDATE() - l.service_interval AND GETDATE()) AND (o.locationid = 1)
GROUP BY i.barcode, i.name, l.name, li.par

Sample result
ItemName                 | avgshelflife | unitcost | par | Sales | Depletion
Dr. Pepper Bottle 20 oz  | 90           | 0.83     | 70  | 31    | 39
Mountain Dew Bottle 20 oz| NULL         |NULL      | 70  | 27    | 43
Coke Can 12 oz           | NULL         |NULL      | 30  | 22    | 8
M&M's Peanut 1.74 oz     | 90           | 0.60     | 66  | 14    | 52
Dr. Pepper Can 12 oz     | 180          | 0.38     | 30  | 13    | 17

Where M&M's Peanut 1.74 oz would by the 100% threshold with the highest Depletion of 52. Items would be grouped into the three groups with a new column added.
In this case: Y=%*52(Depletion of M&M's Peanut 1.74 oz)
Group0-30% is 0-17
Group31-66% is 18-34
Group66-100% is 35-52

Results
Group0-30% Coke Can 12 oz
Group31-66% Dr. Pepper Can 12 oz
Group66-100% Dr. Pepper Bottle 20 oz, Mountain Dew Bottle 20 oz, M&M's Peanut 1.74 oz

Thanks in advance!

A: As I understand your question you want to display "Depletion" which is percentage that you need to display in group. If this so you can use like this.
select *,CASE
    WHEN (Depletion < 34) THEN
        'Group0-30%' + ItemName
    ELSE
        CASE
            WHEN (Depletion < 67) THEN
                'Group31-66%' + ItemName
            ELSE
                'Group66-100%' + ItemName
        END
    END from (
        SELECT     l.name AS Location, i.name AS ItemName, li.par, COUNT(*) AS Sales, li.par - COUNT(*) AS Depletion
        FROM         shoppingcartdetail AS o INNER JOIN
                          item AS i ON i.id = o.itemid INNER JOIN
                          location AS l ON o.locationid = l.id INNER JOIN
                          location_item AS li ON i.id = li.itemid
        WHERE     (CONVERT(datetime, o.created_date_time, 101) BETWEEN GETDATE() - l.service_interval AND GETDATE()) AND (o.locationid = 1)
        GROUP BY i.barcode, i.name, l.name, li.par) t

If not like that then please provide with data for better understand.
Thanks,

A: this works(ugly though),the idea is to use top percent and then do the rest,i have used sales.orders table for demo purposes,but the idea remains the same..
step1: get all percentages into three temp tables,i have used three different temp tables due to identity col and laziness,you can do it with one
select top 33 percent * ,'37 pcnt' as 'pcnt'  into #temp1 from sales.orders order by orderdate desc

select top 67percent * ,'67 pcnt' as 'pcnt'  into #temp2 from sales.orders order by orderdate desc

select  * ,'100 pcnt' as 'pcnt'  into #temp3 from sales.orders

now next step is the place where we get data..
with cte
as
(
select * from #temp
union all
select * from
(
select * from #temp1 t1 where not exists(select 1 from #temp t2 where t2.orderid=t1.orderid)
)c

)
select * from cte
union all
select * from
(
select * from #temp3 t3 where not exists(select 1 from cte where cte.orderid=t3.orderid)
)b

Output:

A: You could also declare a function which calculates percent based on row number..below is the logic ,you may want to refine as per your needs..further point to note is some rows may say zero percent,but the rows returned are inline with top percent clause..
Orderid is  a PK in my demo,you can change it a unique number  or PK in your case
Alter function dbo.getpercent
(@orderid as int
)
returns int
as
begin

declare @pcnt int
;with cte
as
(
select row_number() over (order by orderid)  as rn,orderid
from sales.orders)
select @pcnt=(cast(rn as float)/830)*100 from cte
where orderid=@orderid

return @pcnt
end

select dbo.getpercent(orderid) ,* from sales.orders
order by orderid

Ankle fracture-dislocation, How to treat?
The ankle, also known as "the foot throat" is a complex joint that connects the leg with the foot. It belongs to the troclearthrosis.
It is reinforced by a capsuloligamentary apparatus consisting mainly of the medial and lateral complex as well as syndesmosis.
The deltoid ligament, with its two fascicles, provides medial stability, and is the most resistant, while the collateral peroneus offers lateral stability.
The ankle dislocation is one of the most frequent accidents in athletes, combines the temporary loss of contact of two or more joints with the lesion of soft tissues and bone structures.
These mechanisms are generated according to the way of placing the foot or ankle at the time of the trauma, that is, if the foo is inverted or in the conjunction of eversion with external or internal rotations.
The treatment will depend if syndesmosis is compromised, if the fracture is displaced, if it is exposed, etc.
They usually require surgical treatment with reduction, plus internal fixation with osteosynthesis material (plates, screws, etc.). However, when the patient's profile and the fracture personality allow it, they can be treated conservatively, of course, the reduction must be totally anatomical, remembering that the progress and function forecast of this important segment will depend on it.
The image I publish corresponds to a 73-year-old male patient, with a history of Diabetes Mellitus(type II), arterial hypertension, and peripheral vascular insufficiency, with a right ankle fracture dislocation of 12 hours of evolution, after reduction in the emergency room, I immobilized it with a long-leg splint ( cast boot ) to control the edema and to favor the blood perfusion. After performing post-reduction radiological control, I considered a waiting time of 72 hours to assess its evolution, and based on comorbidities and surgical risk, I decided to treat it conservatively through a long-leg plaster cast for 8 weeks evidencing satisfactory results. Currently the patient retains the march without sequelae.
Although it's not strictly forbidden by steemSTEM rules, direct translation of the post to several languages and posting them individually usually means that only one of them will be rewarded.
There is an option to make 2-column, 2-language post that some authors use.
Greetings! thanks for your advice.

States May Have To Go Back Into Virus Lockdown
Public health officials and epidemiologists have warned that a second wave of coronavirus infections may arrive next fall or winter, but what if it doesn't take that long?
What if we Freedumb ourselves into another wave before the summer is over?
Officials in Arizona have told the state's hospitals to activate their contingency plans to increase their capacity because infections have spiked by 115 percent in the last four weeks. Other states across the south and west have also seen their cases rise and former officials say they're going to face some tough choices soon.
In Arizona, a "cavalier" exit from the state's successful stay-at-home program caused the sudden case surge, said former state health chief Will Humble.
Humble said Governor Doug Ducey let Arizonans voluntarily follow Centers for Disease Control guidance but must now impose measures like mandatory face mask use inside public spaces. A failure to do so will leave Ducey with two drastic choices, he added.
"He's going to have to either A) implement a field hospital plan, B) do another stay-at-home order, or C) both," said Humble, head of health professionals organization the Arizona Public Health Association.
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey says cases have only spiked because of increased testing -- meaning we're just now seeing what was already there -- but that does not explain a dramatic increase in hospitalizations. It doesn't explain hospitals reaching their capacity and being asked to activate their plans for overflow.
Texas just saw its third straight day of record hospitalizations.
Texas health authorities said there are currently 2,153 patients sickened with Covid-19 across its hospitals, making Wednesday the third-straight day of record-breaking coronavirus hospitalizations in the state.
The new total is up from 2,056 patients on Tuesday and 1,935 patients Monday, according to updated data from the Texas Department of State Health Services. [...]
Texas was among the first states to relax its statewide stay-at-home order, allowing it to expire April 30 and some businesses to resume operations May 1. On June 3, Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order to announce the third phase of the state's plan to open additional businesses and activities.
I have a bad feeling about this because infections leading to hospitalization today aren't new. These infections were actually transmitted nearly a month ago.
If mass protests across the country have led to new infections, we won't see an increase in hospitalizations from that until later this month and that will be layered on top of whatever we see from reopening the economy.
It will be a relief if I'm wrong because I don't want to get sick or see anyone close to me get sick.
It probably goes without saying but if even a single state is forced to go back into lockdown it would have significant implications for economic activity nationwide.
They're Not Wrong
"it's in our interests"

The Sea Chest
« The Drain Hose
That's a Lot of Lead »
Red Ranger uses "raw" water for a number of things: flushing the forward head, rinsing in the galley sink, cooling the engine, washing down the anchor. Once upon a time, it also had air conditioners, a fridge, and an aft head that used raw water also.
All of the raw water comes through a single intake called a sea chest. It's box with a hose that leads through a hole in the bottom of the boat and a bunch of hoses leading various places around Red Ranger.
When I removed the aft head, the water-cooled fridge, and the A/C, I capped the hoses. This means putting in a hose barb-to-threaded pipe adapter and a cap on the threaded part.
That's four separate hose clamps to inspect each year. And it's just a hose full of raw water laying around in the bilge. Which leads to this:
"Why is this hose here?"
"Because it's a right pain in the ass to shut off the water intake, disconnect it from the sea chest, and cap it properly."
We're out of the water right now, so closing the valve is academic. And the consequences of a mistake are negligible.
The gray rectangle is the top of the sea chest — it's a piece of acrylic that lets us see the state of the water flow.
Here's the bonus fitting we replaced. It's a valve with an elbow, a fitting to change from ½" pipe to ¾" hose threads and a cap.
We can attach a hose to this and use dock water instead of raw water. It's a way to flush the engine. More importantly, we can use this to put anti-freeze into the water box and fill the various systems for storage over the winter.
The previous version of this fitting had a valve handle that was rusting from exposure to salt water down there.
And you can see the clutter of hoses in the background of the picture. It's a busy place.
Still to do?
Final work on the through-hull changes. Here's what's been done so far…
The original scupper drains ran down to a through-hull fitting below the water line. Very clean. Also. A very long run of difficult to maintain hose. With a 90° turn that never seemed to drain well in heavy rains. At the bottom was a through-hull fitting, all of which are potential problems.
Here's the new design.
About a foot of hose and it drains through the upper part of the hull. This will develop a rusty weeping stain on the side of the boat.
We can access it, repair it. and clean it out when it's backed up with leaf litter.
We can even add a valve between the bronze part and the hose in the unlikely event of hose failure while we're heeled over.
The port-side drains were much more complex. A hose went from the deck scupper to a T-fitting shared with the port cockpit drain (and the aft head sink.) Seriously. Three drains with various T's and hose clamps.
Worse: the port side T-fitting broke and leaked into the engine room. We're excited to have the port drains simplified.
Here's the starboard drain. It's a robust bronze fitting. It will develop a weeping stain that we will have to wash and wax.
Forward of the fitting you can see blue scuff marks from a fender we used to use until it started leaving vinyl on the hull. The port side is worse. We have a lot of cosmetic work to do.
You can see the reflection of the neighbor's boat. So the wax I put on four or so years ago is holding up pretty well.
We also replaced the old through-hull fitting that was part of the air conditioning we removed. We're waiting for the plastics guy to fill the two holes with solid FRP plugs, glass over, prepare, and paint the openings. All of that requires a stretch of warm weather.
Then we can look at the fuel pump drip. But that's another weekend on Red Ranger.

Kalium-O-ethyldithiocarbonat, früher Kaliumethylxanthogenat, ist eine chemische Verbindung aus der Gruppe der Kaliumsalze und Xanthogenate (Dithiocarbonate).

Gewinnung und Darstellung
Kalium-O-ethyldithiocarbonat wurde erstmals 1822 von William Christopher Zeise aus Kaliumhydroxid, Kohlenstoffdisulfid und Ethanol hergestellt.

Verwendung
Kalium-O-ethyldithiocarbonat wird überwiegend als anionaktiver Sammler bei der Flotation von Kupfer-, Nickel- und Silbererzen verwendet.

Auch für Synthesen wird es verwendet: So sind Thioketone durch Reaktion von Kalium-O-ethyldithiocarbonat und Dichloriden aus zugänglich. Kalium-O-ethyldithiocarbonat wurde auch für Verwendung als Konservierungsmittel, Fällungsreagenz und in Japan für die Flüssig-Flüssig-Extraktion von Technetium und Rhenium untersucht.

Zhi Wei, associate professor of computer science at Ying Wu College of Computing, developed a research proposal that earned him a $50,000 Adobe Digital Experience Research Award.
A prestigious and competitive prize in the field of data science, the Adobe Digital Experience Research Award is given to faculty members from top schools, like Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, Duke University and the University of Michigan.
Wei's proposal, "KPI-Driven Content Understanding and Generation With Applications to Digital Marketing," presents a strategy to develop machine learning techniques that automatically generate digital content — text, image and video — that can maximize Key Performance Indexes (KPIs).
For example, people looking to raise money on crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter create and post content — photos, logos, video, web design and copy — based on experience with the help of traditional analytics to help fund their projects.


Knee pain is a common medical condition that is due to the constant wear and tear of the knee joint. It is mostly experienced by older adults, young adults and even children. Women are more vulnerable to knee pain than men.
Pain in the knees are due to the wear and tear because of aging and weakened bone structure. Other common causes may include ligament injuries, fractures, dislocation of the knee joint, meniscus injuries and stiffness in the joint due to lupus, arthritis and other chronic ailments.
But do not let your knee pain sideline you from doing the things you enjoy. You can get rid of knee pain with some easy home remedies.
Epsom salt contains magnesium sulfate which is known to provide relief from knee pain. Magnesium acts as a natural muscle relaxant and helps remove excess fluid from the tissues. This in turn reduces swelling, pain and inflammation.
1. Add 1/2 cup of Epsom salt to a hot bath.
3. Soak the affected knee in the solution for at least 15 minutes.
– You can do this a few times per week until you get complete relief from the pain.
– This remedy is not recommended for those suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems.
Lemon is a beneficial home remedy for knee pain caused by arthritis. The citric acid that is present in lemon acts as a solvent for uric acid crystals. This is the cause of some types of arthritis.
1. Cut 1-2 lemons into small pieces.
2. Tie the pieces using a cotton cloth and dip it in warm sesame oil.
3. Place the cloth on the affected knee for at least 5-10 minutes.
– Do this at least twice daily until the pain is gone completely.
– You can also drink the juice of 1 lemon diluted in a glass of warm water, in the morning on an empty stomach.

Multi-cloud management: 6 expert tips
Using multiple cloud providers? Here's how to keep your environment running without a hitch
698 readers like this
Kevin Casey | September 07, 2017
A multi-cloud strategy offers plenty of potential upside, especially in today's increasingly hybrid IT world. "Multi" means "more" – as in, more flexibility, more control, more protection against failures, and so on. Of course, it also means more to manage.
How can you ensure your team is well-prepared to deal with the added moving parts from multiple cloud providers?
We asked several experts to share their advice on how to successfully manage a multi-cloud environment and realize the best results.
Here's an interesting point to bear in mind as we dig into their advice: Cloud computing itself may be in a mature phase, but multi-cloud management is not. "CIOs must recognize that managing a multi-cloud environment is still in its infancy," says Jeff Budge, VP of advisory consulting and product management at OneNeck IT Solutions.
[ What do you need to understand about shaping a wise multi-cloud strategy? See our related article, Multi-cloud strategy: 8 things to know. ]
So, take a deep breath and pat yourself on the back: You are a leader in what is becoming an increasingly common strategy for IT shops of all shapes and sizes.
1. Learn the ins and outs of your platforms' native tools
"I'd encourage [IT leaders] to embrace a strategy that leverages the native cloud management interface from each of their cloud and technology providers," Budge advises, "to understand the aspects of multi-cloud management and orchestration they can begin to address with evolving cloud management platform tools."
Of course, this is a multi-pronged task that can be delegated to the right resources on your team. This tip aligns with recent advice from Alessandro Perilli, Red Hat GM, management strategy, on managing multiple vendors in hybrid cloud and multi-cloud settings:
"Start by managing each vendor individually – most companies start in this way – for a quick return on investment and to build up the expertise necessary for the next phases," Perilli advises. Then, gradually unify the governance of the multi-vendor environment. (See the full article, How to manage multiple hybrid cloud vendors: 8 tips.)
2. Make a plan for tracking resources
Smart multi-cloud management requires thinking a bit like a bookkeeper or accountant, according to Brian Day, senior director of product management at Logicalis.
"Deploying things to the cloud is easy," Day says. "Keeping track of everything is hard."
Specifically, Day says, optimizing your multi-cloud strategy requires a method for mapping underlying cloud resources to the business services and goals. Otherwise, you might have a mess on your hands in terms of resource optimization, sharing your strategy's wins with the wider organization, and more.
"Deploying things to the cloud is easy. Keeping track of everything is hard."
"Best-of-breed operations are mapping business services to cloud resources and costs using service management tools, while others are achieving control through more rudimentary naming, tagging, and after-the-fact analyses," Day says. "Prior to launching a broad, multi-cloud strategy, businesses should establish a model for tracking resources against business objectives and determine a practical way to track it."
3. Be willing to invest in your multi-cloud future...
A well-managed multi-cloud approach can indeed be a path to cost and resource optimization (more on that below). But if you cut every corner, especially in the early stages of implementation, you're less likely to succeed.
"A key realization to a successful multi-cloud strategy is that money must be spent upfront to provide for a more efficient and productive long-term future," says Spencer Kimball, CEO of Cockroach Labs.
4. … and don't cede too much IT responsibility
Don't confuse a multi-cloud strategy and effective ongoing management with a slash-and-burn budget dump: That's not the point, nor is it likely to be a sustainable long-term plan. Continue to invest in your team and internal capabilities.
"In particular, companies cannot expect to fully cede operational know-how and resources to cloud vendors' PaaS or SaaS offerings, even if they're less expensive," Kimball says. "IT leaders must maintain control of deployment and management of their own services."
And if you must offload some of those services? "Utilize third-party service offerings which are available across clouds," Kimball advises.
5. Use cloud management platform tools to eye costs
As cloud management platforms grow and evolve, Budge recommends using one to laser-target a specific area of concern when it comes to multi-cloud strategy: Cost optimization.
"A great place to start is to focus on leveraging a CMP tool for cost analysis of similar workloads when placed in different clouds," Budge says. As these relatively new tools mature, Budge also recommends keeping close tabs on their capabilities for provisioning, migration, monitoring, integration, and orchestration capabilities.
"For anyone embarking on a multi-cloud strategy, it's an important aspect to watch," Budge says.
6. Don't let "multi-cloud" become "any cloud"
As we wrote recently in this space: "Multi-cloud does not need to mean 'a dizzying sprawl of clouds and ensuing complexity;' it literally just means 'more than one.'"
Multi-cloud vs. hybrid cloud: What's the difference?
Multi-cloud strategy: 8 things to know
It might seem like a principle that goes without saying. But any IT pro who has toiled through the pain of scope creep, budget overruns, vendor screw-ups, or other problems on a major project – cloud or otherwise – can attest that sometimes there's no such thing as a safe assumption. Simply put: You need to have a strong handle on the reins of your multi-cloud environment.
"You cannot have an 'any-cloud' model where 'multi' becomes 'too many,'" says Max Dufour, digital strategy partner at Harmeda. "You need to take a step back and assess at a high level what is the optimal multi-cloud model and be transparent on what users can get. Will they have single sign-on? Can the data move behind the scenes from one provider to the others? There are many details which need to be ironed out first to ensure success and to go beyond assumptions."

New figures show increase in children going missing in London
The report was commissioned by London Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon Credit: Nick Ansell/PA Archive
New evidence has revealed that in many parts of London there has been a sharp rise in the number of vulnerable children who have gone missing from the care of the capital's local authorities in the last year.
The report, London's Children: Missing From Care, launched today by London Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon, provides a picture of how many children have gone missing and how many times, using freedom of information requests sent to all 32 London boroughs.
The report was able to compare information from 21 London boroughs with similar information collected last year and it is now possible to accurately compare the changes between 2013 and 2014 in 11 London Boroughs.
In these 11 boroughs, 231 vulnerable children went missing for more than 24 hours in 2013. A year later in 2014 the number of runaway children had risen to 504 - an increase of 118 per cent.
Some examples of the rise in runaway children include:
Enfield: 110 children went missing from care 251 times in the last year. Between 2013 and 2014 the number of children going missing from care increased by 358 per cent from 24 to 110. A closer examination of the statistics shows a 722 per cent increase in missing children in borough placements
Brent: 93 children went missing from care on 172 occasions last year. Between 2013 to 2014 the number of children going missing from care increased by 94 per cent from 48 to 93 children.
Camden: 65 children went missing from care 151 times last year. Between 2013 and 2014 the number of children going missing from care increased by 51 per cent from 43 to 65.
·Lewisham: between 2013 and 2014 the number of children going missing from care increased by 164 per cent from 28 to 74 children.

Three sisters, Sadie, Lillian, and Goldie Cohen, expressed a wish that the 400-acres of farmland located adjacent to the city of Chillicothe, IL be dedicated as park land and a model farm for educational, recreational, and conservational purposes. While the Cohen sisters lived just off Moss Avenue in Peoria, they loved their family farm. Their vision was for the property to remain agriculturally related.
Lillian Cohen, the last surviving sister, died June 24, 1988, leaving the majority of the estate's assets to the SLG Cohen Foundation, Inc. – an Illinois not-for-profit corporation. The foundation is governed by a board of directors. The Three Sisters Park Advisory Board offers advisement regarding site development, possible uses and programming.

Case No. 19-0823: State of Iowa v. Randy Paul Hofer
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Sarah E. Crane, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., Schumacher, J., and Mahan, S.J. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (15 pages)
Randy Hofer appeals from convictions and a restitution order that arose as a result of his unauthorized taking of a concrete mixing truck and the events that followed. He argues the evidence is insufficient to support two of his convictions. He also claims the trial court erred by refusing to give a jury instruction he requested and he takes issue with the court's restitution award to the city of Des Moines. OPINION HOLDS: The evidence is sufficient to support Hofer's convictions for criminal mischief in the first degree and operating without owner's consent, and it was not error for the district court to refuse to give the requested jury instruction. The convictions are therefore affirmed. We also affirm the restitution order, as we determine the restitution award to the city of Des Moines was supported by evidence in the record, was well within a reasonable range of the evidence, and was within the district court's discretion.
Case No. 19-0842: In the Interest of C.R., Minor Child
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Samantha Gronewald, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Mullins and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (3 pages)
A mother appeals the court order terminating her parental rights to a child pursuant to Iowa Code section 600A.8(9) (2018). She contends termination was not appropriate under section 600A.8(9) and was not in the child's best interests. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the termination of the mother's parental rights to the child.
Case No. 19-0863: State of Iowa v. James Edward Brice
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Richard B. Clogg, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, J. Dissent by Tabor, P.J. (17 pages)
James Brice appeals his conviction of indecent exposure. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his conviction and argues his trial counsel was ineffective in various respects. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude Brice's conviction is supported by substantial evidence and counsel was not ineffective as alleged. We affirm Brice's conviction of indecent exposure. DISSENT ASSERTS: I would find substantial evidence does not support the verdict because the State did not produce sufficient evidence to satisfy the offensiveness element of the indecent exposure charge.
Case No. 19-0880: State of Iowa v. Bree Deontez Wright
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, William P. Kelly, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Doyle and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Doyle, J. (7 pages)
Bree Wright pled guilty to third-degree sexual abuse. On direct appeal, Wright contends that his trial counsel was ineffective in allowing him to plead guilty. He claims his plea was not voluntary because he was not informed by the plea court of an element of the offense. He also claims the record lacks a factual basis for the plea. OPINION HOLDS: Because the record is insufficient to allow us to resolve Wright's voluntariness claim, we preserve it for postconviction relief for a full development. Because the record shows a factual basis for his plea, Wright has failed to establish his counsel was ineffective in this regard.
Case No. 19-0895: Growth Unlimited Corp. v. K & B Tobacco and Jan Albert d/b/a K & B Tobacco
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Montgomery County, James S. Heckerman, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and May and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (6 pages)
Growth Unlimited, an Iowa corporation marketing "skill-based amusement" games, challenges the result of its lawsuit against a Nebraska retailer that it installed one its machines. Growth Unlimited first contests the district court's treatment of future damages. OPINION HOLDS: Because Growth Unlimited did not preserve that issue, we decline to reach it. Growth Unlimited next challenges the attorney fee award. Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm the district court's award.
Case No. 19-0940: State of Iowa v. Dustin D. Gilliam
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Donna L. Paulsen, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Doyle and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (17 pages)
Following a global resolution of a number of criminal offenses, Dustin Gilliam appeals from the district court's sentencing order. OPINION HOLDS: By granting a motion to amend a trial information in one of Gilliam's cases, the district court consolidated multiple charges that arose from the same occurrence of criminal conduct. We therefore reject Gilliam's claim that he suffered prejudice by the court's amendment of the trial information in the consolidated case. We reject Gilliam's ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims. We disagree with his contention that there was an insufficient factual basis to support two of his misdemeanor convictions, and we find Gilliam cannot prove he was prejudiced by his counsel's conduct with respect to the remaining ineffective-assistance claim. The convictions are affirmed.
Case No. 19-0954: ZT Enterprises, Inc. v. Alan Pedersen
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Humboldt County, Kurt J. Stoebe, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Doyle and May, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (6 pages)
Alan Pedersen appeals the district court's judgment on an open-account claim in favor of ZT Enterprises, Inc (ZT). On appeal, Pedersen contends (1) the court's findings were not supported by substantial evidence and (2) the district court abused its discretion in admitting an exhibit that may not have been provided in discovery. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude the district court did not err in granting ZT judgment for $50,031.95, and we affirm the district court's ruling on the exhibit.
Case No. 19-1257: State of Iowa v. Roy Allen Doorenbos
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Poweshiek County, Shawn R. Showers, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and May and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (23 pages)
The State charged Roy Doorenbos with one count of sexual abuse in the third degree and two counts of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse. A jury acquitted him on the sexual abuse count but convicted him of assault with intent and the lesser-included offense of simple-misdemeanor assault. He appeals the two convictions, alleging inconsistent verdicts. He also contends his trial was unfair because the court did not permit him to view his accuser's mental-health records, declined to strike two jurors for cause, and granted the State's motion to amend the dates in the trial information. Finally, Doorenbos asks to be resentenced. OPINION HOLDS: Because it was possible for Doorenbos to commit two assaults on two different days, but not commit sexual abuse on a later date, the jury's verdicts were not inconsistent. Next, the court properly denied his request for access to M.A.'s therapy records. And the court properly declined to strike two jurors for cause. Also, we find no error in the amendment of the trial information. Last, because we discern no reliance on improper factors, the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Doorenbos.
Case No. 19-1305: Jameson Matthew Landon v. Desirea Isabel Meyer, k/n/a Desirea Isabel Tritz
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Harrison County, Craig M. Dreismeier, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. Dissent by Greer, J. (10 pages)
Desirea Tritz appeals from a ruling denying her application to modify child custody. She contends there has been a material change of circumstances warranting a change to the shared-cared arrangement currently in place for the child she shares with Jameson Landon. OPINION HOLDS: After our de novo review of the record, we agree with the trial court's conclusion there has been no showing of a material change of circumstances such as would allow the modification of child custody. DISSENT ASSERTS: I respectfully dissent. I believe the mother has shown a material change in circumstances. For that reason, I would reverse the district court order and grant physical care to the mother.
Case No. 19-1379: State of Iowa v. Oscar Villafana-Ray
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Brook Jacobsen, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and May and Greer, JJ. Opinion by May, J. (6 pages)
Oscar Villafana-Ray was convicted of possession of a controlled substance. On appeal, he argues that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress. OPINION HOLDS: The district court appropriately denied the motion. So we affirm Villafana-Ray's conviction.
Case No. 19-1385: State of Iowa v. Jacob Phillip Schwab
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, George L. Stigler, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Doyle and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (7 pages)
Jacob Schwab appeals two conditions imposed as part of his sentence for controlled-substance and assault convictions. He claims the court improperly relied on unproven allegations in the victim impact statement in imposing a residential facility stay requirement and failed to make required findings to impose a domestic-abuse program condition. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the residential facility requirement and remand for the district court to enter an order nunc pro tunc to correct the written sentencing order to correspond with the sentence pronounced at the hearing.
Case No. 19-1408: Andrew Duyvejonck v. Debra Clydesdale
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Thomas G. Reidel, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Doyle and May, JJ. Opinion by Doyle, J. (12 pages)
Andrew Duyvejonck appeals the district court's summary judgment ruling concluding a statement allegedly made by Debra Clydesdale about Duyvejonck was an expression of opinion and not defamation per se. OPINION HOLDS: Given the circumstances and context in which the alleged statement was made, we agree with the district court that the statement made by Clydesdale constituted protected non-actionable opinion speech. Thus, Duyvejonck cannot establish a prima facie case of defamation and his claim fails as a matter of law. So we affirm the district court's ruling granting summary judgment for Clydesdale.

The THERMATEX ceiling tiles are produced from mineral wool, perlite, clay and starch using the wet-felt process and are therefore based on natural raw materials. In addition to very good acoustic performance, the material also has excellent fire protective properties. Above all, when compared to metal or wooden ceilings, the technical performance is convincing.
THERMATEX ceiling tiles with recessed edges (VT) are hardened as standard with a special coating process and square edged tiles (SK) on request. This process increases the resistance against mechanical forces and provides a considerably finer, homogenous edge appearance. This results in an improvement to the entire ceiling appearance.
The THERMATEX Varioline wood-look ceiling tiles are additionally coated with a smooth, elegant fleece that incorporates the wood finish.
Due to their low surface weight, mineral ceilings from AMF are extremely stable and are easy and simple to handle.

Q: Have mysql command line use eth1 instead of eth0 to connect When running a command like:
mysql -u mysql -h sql.remoteaddress.com

mysql is connecting using the eth0 interface.  How do I ask it to use the eth1 interface which has a different IP address than eth0.
Thanks.

A: Set a routing rule so that connections going to the network where sql.remoteaddress.com resides goes through eth1 rather than the default at eth0.
Try "route --help" to see the description of how to add a route.  You'll likely need root/admin access to set up the routing rule.

Uvas Felices
Ca N'Estruc
Calidoscopi Vinos Finos
Vila Viniteca exclusively represents internationally some Spanish cellars. These concern wine making projects in association with some of the most renowned national winemakers. Some of these projects form Uvas Felices ("Happy Grapes").
CA N'ESTRUC. DO Catalunya
Ca N'Estruc estate, with its origins in the wine world since 1548, is located on the slopes of the mountain of Montserrat, in Esparreguera (near Barcelona). Francisco Martí cultivates his own 26 hectares of vineyards, located at an altitude of 165 m. It has a singular microclimate which protects vines from the cold north winds. The estate has cool summers and mild winters with an average annual temperature of 14.1°C. Plantations are perfectly orientated to optimize the sunshine. Small stainless steel tanks of 2,500 litres allow them to elaborate different batches according to each vineyard, variety and vine age. The batches are not blended until the bottling stage. French oak barrels from Dargaud & Jaegle, Boutes and Seguin Moreau are used for the ageing. The winery produces the young wines Ca N'Estruc Blanc, Rosat and Negre, Ca N'Estruc Xarel·lo and others oak barrel aged such as Idoia Blanc, Idoia Negre, L'Equilibrista Blanc, L'Equilibrista Negre and a very special cuvée, L'Equilibrista Garnatxa.
L'ORIGAN. DO Cava
In 1998 Manel Martínez, with his son Carlos, started up the L'Origan project, an exclusive and elegant cava that has its origins in 1906. That year the first underground cellar in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia was built, which led to one of the first wineries. The cellar is 1,286 m2, from which 928 are underground corridors with vaulted ceilings. Cuvées are produced using stainless steel tanks of 5,000, 1,000 and 3,000 litres. Some base wines are fermented in French oak barrels. The underground natural conditions contributes to maintain a stable temperature of 18ºC, absolute darkness, absence of noise and vibration, in order that future cava ages in perfect conditions. One of the underground corridors is exclusively dedicated to the ageing of different vintages and blends in magnum bottles, to be used for future editions. In 2010 Aire de L'Origan brut nature apeared, a millesimé cava.
EL PERRO VERDE. DO Rueda
After working in different wineries, Angel Lorenzo Cachazo, born into a family always linked to winemaking, launched his own winery in 1987. In 2005, with his son Javier, he started elaborating El Perro Verde. The soil is not compact, with a fairly high percentage of stone and limestone. The climate is continental with an Atlantic influence. Average rainfall per year is 300-500 mm, with 2,544 average sunshine hours per year. The average temperature during the growing season is 24.6ºC and the temperature during the ripening period varies between 11ºC and 27ºC. The grapes come from different vineyards, 25% Rodilana, 25% Bobadilla del Campo and 50% from "El Sotillo" Pozaldez. The vineyards, between 700 and 800m in altitude, are planted ranging from 1,600 to 2,500 vines/ha. Vineyards are conducted in guyot pruning, and trellising. Yields range between 9,000 and 9,500 kg/ha. The grapes are harvested in September, stemmed and crushed, and then they undergo a short maceration at 10°C for 12 hours. The must is fermented at 18ºC in stainless steel tanks.
FENOMENAL. DO Rueda
Fenomenal is the latest project of the Cachazo family for Uvas Felices. The grapes come from vineyards planted in limestone soil. The climate is continental with Atlantic influence. Average annual rainfall is 300-500 mm. The average temperature during the growing season is 24.6ºC and from 11ºC to 27ºC in the ripening period. Fenomenal 2012 is an blend of Verdejo and Viura. The Verdejo comes from Bobadilla del Campo and Viura from different plots located in La Seca.
EL JARDÍN DE LUCÍA. DO Rías Baixas
Launched in 2009, El Jardín de Lucía is elaborated by Eulogio Pomares Zarate from a selection of Albariños from small holdings of 20 small growers from "Val do Salnés" in the apellation Rías Baixas. Average age of the vines is 15 years, with the vineyards located in the municipalities of Cambados and Ribadumia, in a sub-area known for its warm and humid climate and shallow, sandy soils, which is ideal for growing this variety. All the grapes are handpicked and carried in individual batches of 16 kg. The best bunches are selected fowolling rigorous quality control. Grapes are vinified in stainless steel with the latest technology in order to highlight the primary flavors of Albariño.
SOSPECHOSO. VT Castilla
Marcos Eguren is a fourth-generation member of a wine making family from Sonsierra in Rioja. His great-grandfather Amancio started selling his own wine in the villages nearby, and his father Guillermo founded Bodegas Sierra Cantabria in 1957. After studying enology in Madrid, in 1978 Marcos joined the family business which he now runs along with his brother Miguel and his brother-in-law Jesús. Today they own three wineries in La Rioja: Sierra Cantabria, Señorío de San Vicente and Viñedos de Páganos. They are in the process of finishing their fourth cellar, Viñedos Sierra Cantabria. They also own the winery Dominio de Eguren where they produce Vinos de Castilla, and their latest Toro winery in Valdefinjas, Teso La Monja. They cultivate more than 140 hectares in La Rioja and 140 in Toro. Sospechoso is the latest release from Castilla, a joint venture between Eguren and Uvas Felices. One wine with six different labels portraying "suspects". They produce red, white and rosé wines.
VENTA LAS VACAS. DO Ribera del Duero
Project started in 2009. Juan Carlos Vizcarra produces this wine from 100% Tinta del País from the vineyards Tras de San Pedro and Las Arras, in the province of Burgos. These 15-year-old vineyards occupy seven hectares of calcareous clay soils with a trellis conduction system and an yeild of 4,500 kg/ha. The hand-picked harvest takes place during the month of October and only the best bunches are selected. Later in the winery there is an even more rigorous selection, grape by grape. They are the cold macerated for 5 days at 12ºC. Subsequently, vinification starts in stainless steel tanks of 16,000 litres and then fermented in new barrels of one and two wines. The wine is aged for twelve months in 225 and 400 litres barrels, and then two months in tank prior to being bottled.
PAISAJES. DOCa Rioja
Project iniciated in 1998 with Miguel Ángel de Gregorio's knowledge of La Rioja (Allende, Calvario, Aurus) and his experience as fine wine maker. Several plots were selected from different growers looking for very special wines. From the beginning and throughout the 13 vintages vinified until today, Paisajes philosophy has been seeking unique terroirs and working to obtain delicate and fragrant wines, avoiding wood and extraction styles. Wines to enjoy at the table, some in their third year after harvest, and others over a longer period of refinement in bottle. They all embody the essence of their own terroir. Paisajes Valsalado brings together the four different varieties, from 57 to 60-year-old vines randomly planted in one hectare of clay and gravel soil, located in Logroño. Paisajes La Pasada comes from a vineyard in Briones planted on a gravely and clay soil with Tempranillo vines aged 57 to 60 years old. Paisajes Cecias comes from a 2.4 ha planted with an outstanding 85-year-old Grenache. The soil is a combination of limestone and marl slate.
LA LOCOMOTORA. DOCa Rioja
Miguel Ángel de Gregorio Sánchez is a key figure on the wine making scene in La Rioja. At the age of 9 months he moved from La Mancha to La Rioja, where his father worked as vineyard foreman for the iconic Marqués de Murrieta winery. After studying agronomisty and taking several masters in Madrid, in 1989 he started working in La Rioja. In 1997 he decided to devote all of his time to his own personal project: Finca Allende. First vintages were produced in a XVII century cellar he rented in Briones. Afterwards, he moved to another one in San Asensio, until 2002 when his new winery-palace in Briones was built. From the first mould-breaking 1995 Allende and 1996 Avrvs, he has since been gathering wisdom with each sucessive vintage. In 1998 he embarked upon the Paisajes project in collaboration with Uvas Felices, to bottle singular vineyards. La Locomotora is the latest project of Miguel Ángel and Uvas Felices in La Rioja, loyal to the classic-contemporary style of long-life wines, their bottles radiate a special energy. La Locomotora Crianza is 100% tempranillo aged 12 months in French oak barrels and La Locomotora Reserva Limitada aged 24 months in new French oak barrels.
VIÑA AL LADO DE LA CASA. DO Yecla
VIÑA DETRÁS DE LA CASA. DO Yecla
Project started in 1998. On a visit to Bodegas Castaño in 1999, we tasted three exceptional 1998 Monastrell wines that were part of Castaño's family samples vinified for each vintage. Passionate and surprised by the uniqueness of the wine, we asked them to bottle it exclusively for us. So began the first vintage of Viña al Lado de la Casa 13 years ago with a production of 2,000 bottles. With the vinage of 2001, Detrás de la Casa was born. It was made with the finest wines not used in the final blend of Viña al Lado de la Casa. We decided to bottle it separately due to its excellent quality and personality. In 2004 Castaño and Uvas Felices acquired a 14 ha estate in "Las Gateras" area. Currently they own 45 ha planted in goblet system, mainly with Monastrell, Syrah and Garnacha tintorera varieties.
EL HOMBRE BALA. DO Vinos de Madrid
LA MUJER CAÑÓN. DO Vinos de Madrid
REINA DE LOS DESEOS. DO Vinos de Madrid
The project started in 2010 with the three winemakers/vinegrowers of Comando G; Fernando García (Bodegas Marañones) and Daniel Gómez Jiménez-Landi (Bodegas Jiménez-Landi). Joining forces with Uvas Felices, two wines were developed using old Garnacha vines, in the Gredos mountain range. Four different vineyards of between 50 and 90 years old, located in three villages to the west of Madrid: Cadalso de los Vidrios, Cenicientos and Rozas de Puerto Real. The harvest of each vineyard begins at the optimum moment of ripeness. "El Hombre Bala" is the earliest to begin (from 20th September to mid-October), and a little later for "La Mujer Cañón" (second half of October). Grape maceration lasts an average of 30 days at low temperature and fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in oak barrels and wooden vats. Finally, wine is aged in barrels of different sizes in order to attain depth, complexity and balance. These are wines that reflect the varying character of the Garnacha grown in the Gredos mountain range.

"Here Is a Quotation..." [WIST]
by Scott Monty November 04, 2006
One of the benefits of being a Baker Street Irregular is the ability to "go everywhere, see everything and overhear everyone." As such, I generally find out about a variety of events, books and multimedia items of Sherlockian nature.
Through the generosity of Fred Shapiro and his publishers at the Yale University Press, I recently received a copy of his new work The Yale Book of Quotations. As you no doubt can tell from each entry on this blog, I'm a fan of quotations. In fact, a reader sent me an email a few weeks back expressing admiration for my habit of using a Canonical quotation as the headline for each blog post.
Shapiro's contribution to the area traditionally dominated by Bartlett's is that it is the first major quotation book to emphasize modern sources and the first quotation book of any sort to use state-of-the-art research methods to comprehensively collect famous quotations and to trace quotations to their accurate origins.
But he also does Sherlockians a great service. There are 39 quotations attributed to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, largely from the Canon. We also hear from Anthony Boucher, one half of the Boucher-Green writing team for the Sherlock Holmes radio series in the 1940s. And the founder of the Baker Street Irregulars, Christopher Morley, makes an appearance with four quotes.
Clever readers will also be able to enjoy quotations from members of the Algonquin Round Table, such as Heywood Broun, Edna Ferber, George F. Kaufman, Robert E. Sherwood and others like:
Robert Benchley: "It took me 15 years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous
Alexander Woollcott: "Germany was the cause of Hitler just as much as Chicago was the cause of the Chicago Tribune."
Dorothy Parker: [Upon being challenged to use the word 'horticulture' in a sentence] "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think."
The Yale Book of Quotations contains literally thousands of other quotations which span from traditional historical and literary sources to more modern areas such as advertising slogans, radio and television catchphrases, proverbs, film lines and nursery rhymes. And Shapiro has gone the extra distance of clearing up improperly attributed quotes - some you didn't even know were wrong. It was Napoleon Bonaparte, not William Tecumseh Sherman who said "War is hell!"
This is really a unique find and it's certainly easy for anyone to browse. In addition, there is a keyword index, in case you're looking for a certain quotation to fill a void, and there are plenty of annotations and cross-references that make this more than simply a reference book.

Sean recaps the final printing of three Motivator pieces he built for Adam's Mecha-Hand project, the trip back to San Francisco to shoot videos with Adam, and one last-minute hiccup with the Motivator's crankshaft.
Your patience has paid off--it's time for the final print of the Millenbaugh Motivator! All the measurements have been made, a rough version has been completed, the final version has been modeled and prototypes printed. After three months of work, it was time to get this delivered to Adam. And that meant making a flight back out to San Francisco.
For my previous prints, such as the Octopod and Jetcar builds, I've used the trusty Objet Connex500. It's a high-end polyjet printer that can print in various materials--even rubber. But as much as I like this machine, I also had access to a 3D Systems ProJet 7000 HD which could print at even higher resolutions and in stronger material, all of which would be especially useful for the Motivator. The ProJet is a SLA (stereolithography) machine that prints by 'drawing' the part in a vat of liquid resin using a laser that solidifies the UV sensitive material. Once a layer is finished, the print platform sinks further down in the resin, a fresh layer of resin is distributed over the top and the laser draws the next layer. The resolution can be set incredibly high, and I was told the parts would be dimensionally accurate, meaning a hole modeled at 3mm in diameter would print at exactly 3mm.
I was a bit skeptical of this claim, since typically you need to factor in some tolerances when modeling to accommodate the accuracy of the printer and behavior of the material. This has caused me frustration when 3D printing since a model built with tolerances for one printer won't always print well on a different printer. I have done various versions of the same model with slight tweaks for different printers--an annoying and time-consuming task.
The plan was to do a test print of the Motivator, make any needed tweaks, and then print three final versions: one for Adam's Mecha-Hand, one for Guillermo del Toro's, and one as a back-up. This would be the first time I was able to print the crankshaft so I was anxious to get the test print. All the parts were laid out in the print software, oriented and supports were automatically generated. The ProJet uses a lattice-like support structure for each part since they can't be floating around loose in the resin tank. The support is very fine and easy to remove but it helps to orient parts with hidden surfaces facing down toward the print bed. This way, visible surfaces will be as smooth as possible.
Parts attached to print bed right out of printer--excess resin washed off with alcohol.
One complete block with a few extra parts took about 12 hours to print.
One complete Motivator with a few extra parts took about 12 hours to print. When the parts come out of the printer they're covered in liquid resin from the tank and must be washed in alcohol. After cleaning they are 'baked' in an UV 'oven' for a few minutes to ensure the resin is completely set. Even after that, I found the parts were slightly tacky and needed to be hand scrubbed with some more alcohol and they still took a few more days until they were tack-free. The parts were gorgeous, the nicest 3D prints I have ever done, and they were indeed dimensionally accurate as every piece of hardware fit perfectly. The crankshaft even looked great but it had a good bit of flex to it due to the print material.
The crankshaft printed very well. Notice some ridges on blocks - final prints were smoother.
The test parts assembled exactly as planned and the crankshaft fit with only minor clean-up needed. There was no way that I was going to build the test Motivator and immediately fire up the motor, so I had made a handcrank that would slip on the end of the crankshaft to test it manually. I gently rocked the handle back and forth and the Motivator made a bunch of terrible squeaks and refused to budge. There was too much 'gription' between all the plastic parts but a drop of light oil on each crank pin made everything work! The crankshaft did flex a bit but I think that actually helped more than hindered. I installed the motor, adjusted the chain tension and ran the Motivator under power at a moderate speed successfully, so I shot a quick video and sent it off to Adam--he was pleased!
Manual crank test of Motivator for Adam.
With the success of the fully functional test print, it was time to print the final three to take to San Francisco. The test print turned out so well that I only made a few slight tweaks for the final print. I also decided to laser cut the top plates to save some time and money and it was easy to do since I had modeled the plates using splines. Laser cutters typically use 2D line drawings as the cutting file, so the splines translated perfectly. Since I had used standard material thicknesses when modeling, I was able to easily cut the plates from ABS sheets at a fraction of the cost of 3D printing.
Sorting final parts for San Fran.
Originally, Adam wanted me to build one motivator and bring the parts for the other two but the prints were finished so close to the deadline that I wasn't able to put one together. All the parts got a final alcohol scrub, sorted and packed in my carry-on bag (there was no way I was trusting these in checked luggage). I had a bag bulging with weird parts, in addition to my Curta calculator and Nagra spy recorder--it looked like a crazy person's bag on X-ray, but they just waved me through at the airport. My wife and I spent two great days at Adam's shop and I was able to fully enjoy the experience this time. As you all know, it's a wonderland for people such as us and I took a ton of photos and tried on a bunch of his stuff. As a super-awesome bonus, that was the same weekend that Marty Cooper did his augmented-reality animation in the shop. Marty was very nice and fun to watch at work.
Adam and I sat down and went through all of the parts. He was really happy with the quality and immediately started testing the finish of Rub n' Buff on a few pieces. He was happy enough with the 3D printed valve domes that he ended up using them instead of the cigar tubes--I'm sure they'll find their way into another project. We shot our video discussing the Motivator and Adam put it through its paces. I had been running the motor at 3.7 volts and Adam cranked it to 12. I was convinced it was going to fly apart or start smoking, but it made it through in one piece. He showed me all the loose parts used for the Mecha-Hand and even offered me some extras. I was so tempted, but I know that I will never build the entire prop myself, so I told him to offer them up to those on The RPF who are actually building Mecha-Hands.
Just a few of the many Mecha-Hand parts.
My wife Kate and I also got to spend quality time at the Tested office where Norm and I shot Show and Tell videos for the previously mentioned Curta & Nagra. Norm was a great host--Kate and I had the honor of experiencing the highly disappointing Comic-Con exhibit with Norm and his girlfriend at the Oakland Museum of California, although they made up for it with a great Giant Robot exhibit. Since Adam and I didn't get the chance, I built an entire Motivator on-camera for Tested Premium Subscribers. Our five days in San Francisco were absolutely fantastic and a nice wrap-up to three months of work!
Final motivator with black laser cut plate on one side.
A week or so later, Adam had some bummer news: after painting and assembling everything he was unable to overcome the additional friction the paint added and the Motivator wouldn't run. Luckily, that same week, online 3D printing service Shapeways had changed some of their restrictions for printing metal and I was able to finally place an order for a 3D printed bronzed steel crankshaft. I had high-hopes that his would fix our problem but it wasn't quite what I expected. Metal 3D printing at a level I can afford is not very precise--plastic printers have better accuracy. This has a lot to do with how the process works; a metal powder is glued together, layer-by-layer, and then it's fired which fuses the whole thing together. During this process the metal can drastically change dimensions which is what happened with the crankshaft. It looked great at first glance--especially the finish which was perfect for the Motivator--but dimensionally it was 1.5mm shorter than it should be! I double-checked the stats on this material and sure enough, the accuracy was +/- 1% which the 1.5mm difference fell into.
Plastic crank (top) compared to metal crank which is 1.5mm shorter.
I'm working on a new version of the crankshaft with larger tolerances and higher strength and will be trying another print soon. Ultimately, Adam said that if all else fails he'll make the crankshaft by hand, at least the 3D printed version is a good guide. Adam was able to finish up a non-running Motivator for the Mecha-Hand reveal at the Tested Incognito party. I was really impressed by how good the Motivator looked after painting and weathering. Now I had to try it myself, but that's a story for next time!

Can the HED Tomcat wheels be made stronger?
Bought a new Diamondback Haanjo Comp in mid July, 2016. Rode 220 miles on trails and broke a spoke. I rode another 190 miles on combination of trails, paved and gravel roads, including about an hour's worth of cyclocross practice on a new course that was rather bumpy, then broke another spoke.
I'm about 300lbs. I don't ride over or down curbs, and am generally careful, but I do hit some bumps and things harder than I would like on occasion.
I am currently running WTB Nano comp tires in 40C at about 50 psi rear and 40 psi front.
I did contact HED about this issue, and had a good email exchange with Andy Tetmeyer, but ultimately it was just an offer to build me a set of wheels on the side, and no suggestions for improving these wheels.
Is there anything I can do to make these wheels (primarily the rear) stronger? Can I change the spoke lacing to a 3 cross? Perhaps changing the spokes themselves to something else?
I don't want to spend money on "clydesdale" custom wheels that cost close to what I paid for the bike.
Am I destined to just get a new rear wheel with 36H or are there other inexpensive things I can try?

I doubt you can do anything about the existing wheel sets -- cheaping out on the wheelset is part of the way they were able to offer the bike at the price it costs, and at 300 lbs you really should not be running 24 spoke wheels (esp. cheaper ones). Unfortunately, you're going to need to get new wheels.
Also, you need significantly higher pressures than 40 or 50 psi for a 300 lbs rider.
If the tire bottoms out and you strike the rim that places much more stress on the rim and spokes than if the force were distributed more evenly. So you need high enough tire pressure to prevent bottoming-out. But 24 spoke wheels on any sort of off-roadish bike is stupid, and the 300 pound rider only adds to that. You need better wheels.
You bought the bike new? So you'll have the owner's manual - could you check it for any sort of maximum weight limit? 136 kilograms is above the maximum for most bicycles. As someone who was 110, I used to break spokes monthly, 4 in one trip. Now down to ~90 and I can ride a normal road bike. Try carrying less stuff to help lighten the load.
– Criggie ♦
This video shows what happens to your tyres as you go over bumps. Notice how close the rim comes to striking the ground on the 23mm tyres on the left. That's why you need higher pressure in your tyres.
When building a wheel, there are two main things the builder does to prevent spoke breakage: set the spoke line at the hub flange and rim when the spokes have little or no tension, and stress relieve the spokes once they're at nearly full tension.
Setting the spoke line means to cold set the material into the final shape it would otherwise be pulled into by the tension on it. This reduces fatigue, which is the most common cause of breakage. It also helps keep the wheel true.
To do it, ideally the spokes would have little or no tension. Jobst Brandt in "The Bicycle Wheel" favors doing it with a little tension. I find I can tell what I'm doing better if they're pretty slack. At the hub end, push each outside spoke hard against its flange. You're trying to get them to lay flat against the flange when not under tension, as opposed to bowing out. (There are other techniques, but doing it with your fingers works fine). At the rim/nipple end, you're trying to prevent any bowing where the spoke enters the nipple. Many wheels don't need any attention here, i.e. the rim hole allows the nipple to swivel naturally into an angle that allows the spoke to run straight, but for the ones that do, just grab pairs of consecutive pushing and pulling spokes that make a "V" (the intersection of the V being the spoke crossing nearest to the rim) and squeeze them together hard to cold set the spoke. I like to do this once the wheel is near its final tension, so that there's only minimal thread movement left to go and you're not pulling the section you just bent up into the nipple.
Stress relieving is a process of temporarily overloading the material to eliminate residual stresses left in the spoke elbows. Most breakage is caused by these stresses putting the elbow area above its fatigue limit in use as the wheel rolls along, each spoke getting loaded and unloaded. To stress relieve the spokes on a cross-laced wheel, find pairs of nearly parallel pushing and pulling spokes on each side of the wheel and squeeze them together hard, as though you're trying to break them. (Brandt's terminology). I would recommend doing this at around 80-90% of final spoke tension.
Because your spokes are having fatigue problems already, these steps are no guarantee because they can't fix fatigue that's already accumulated. But if there's a way of getting the wheel to stop breaking spokes without replacing all of them, this is it. Also, make sure the final tension is nice and high.
In the end these wheels are probably not strong enough to be trouble-free for a 300lb rider, on-road or off. That's due to what kind of loads they can structurally take. Whether the spokes are operating within their fatigue limit is a separate concern, and that's what determines whether you'll break spokes. It's also true that the margin for error in how well internal stresses have been relieved is going to be little if any here, possibly to an extent that exceeds practicality.

Nice answer. Interesting perspective. I really like this contribution.

Can you elaborate on what it means to have a final tension "nice and high"? I may have a shop replace it this time specifically to handle the tension part, but don't know exactly what I'd be asking for.
– Craig Treptow
110-120kgf right rear and left front, or whatever Hed tells you is correct.
– Nathan Knutson
Am I destined to just get a new rear wheel with 36H ... ?
In the end, yes.
See What is the maximum weight that "normal" racing wheels can withstand?
And also this Bicycle Weight Limits article.
You may get away with riding very carefully on perfect roads, but doing cyclocross practice puts a whole different level of stresses on the wheels.
So I recommend wheels with a more "traditional" spoke count (36) and rims built to take the loads you're going to apply. High flange hubs (as you mentioned) are worth considering too, especially if you use heavier guage spokes.
To put it in perspective, this bike is at a "medium" price point; not cheap, but not expensive. But you're asking it to do a heavy duty job. The frame may or may not stand up to the workload, but you could easily spend the original price again to get a wheelset (yes, both wheels) that will do the job safely. And that's the bottom line: having a wheel fail under you can be dangerous.
