Although my friend Paul Harvey hasn't lived in his native Dorset since the early 80,s he still likes to add species to his Dorset list, so we headed to Longham Lakes. The first bird we found was a female Smew and I had a very pleasant shock when a pristine male Smew (quite rare in Dorset) flew over a few minutes later. In due course we found the female BB;ue-winged Teal and had good views.
We continued on to Blashford lakes where we failed to find the drake Ferruginous Duck but there was a good selection of other wildfowl. Paul had to leave at this point to catch his flight back to Shetland. It had been a real pleasure birding with Paul again and I look forwards to seeing him in Shetland later in the year.
With a major rarity staked out in the New Forest I headed for Hawkshill Enclosure but had to negotiate the odd flooded road, a legacy of yesterdays storm. The Dark-eyed Junco, a sparrow like bird from North America showed well if a little distantly, after about an hours wait. This is the second time I have seen this species in the UK, although I have seen many in North America.
I continued on to Blackwater Arboretum, where after a long wait, a number of Crossbills and Hawfiches appeared in the gathering gloom. I made a quick visit to the Blashford Lakes on my return but there was still no sign of the Ferruginous Duck.
On the 5th I returned early to Ivy Lake at Blashford where I discovered the Ferruginous Duck sheltering from the vicous wind. Unlike yesterday the Woodland Hide feeders were stacked with birds, but I couldn't find any Bramblings, a target bird for my year list. Further disappoinment occured when the nearby 'staked out' Bewick's Swans appeared to have got blown away, when I failed to find any Egyptian Geese in the Avon Valley and when I found the road home closed due to a tree felled by the gale. However good views of the Ferruginous Duck and some good photo opportunities made the day well worthwhile.

Movies #Disney: A Prince Charming Live-Action Movie Is In The Works
#Disney: A Prince Charming Live-Action Movie Is In The Works
Adrina
One sure sign that Disney Studios is aggressively pushing its limits – A live-action feature film that centres on Prince Charming is reportedly in the works.
It seems like Disney is trying to milk as much money as they can from their iconic animated film franchise as The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the studio has plans to develop a live-action feature focusing on the handsome prince.
Ugh, we know, Prince Charming. Why you?
According to THR, Disney already picked up a script written by Matt Fogel. However, it is unclear whether the studio will feature the prince from their animated classics such as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Sleeping Beauty", or "Cinderella". David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville Films/TV will produce alongside Tripp Vinson and Mandeville's Alex Young.
Earlier this year, the studio enjoyed tremendous success with director Kenneth Baranagh's live-action version of "Cinderella". In the movie, Cinderella was portrayed by Lily James while the Prince Charming role was portrayed by "Game of Thrones" actor Richard Madden. With its box office success, the idea of developing a movie based on Prince Charming and his life came to light.
Disney has kept mum about the details, but the script is described as a" revisionist take on the fairy tales.
Following the success of last year's "Maleficent" or this year's "Cinderella", a number of Disney's other animated classics will also be adapted into movies. The animated classics that will be made into live-action versions include:
Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass
Fantasia – Night On Bald Mountain
The film does not have a release date yet, but what do you think of this? Which sequence would you like to see from the original film? Heck, which Prince Charming would you like Disney to feature? Feel free to discuss that in the comments box below!

Q: How to use WHERE BETWEEN and GROUP BY at same time How do I use where between and group by in same query
  SELECT `sales-store-id`,
  (SUM (`gen-acute-sales-after-returns`) + SUM(`gen- chronic-sales-after-returns`))
   AS `totalGenericSales` ,
  (SUM (`eth-acute-sales- after-returns`) + SUM(`eth-chronic-sales-after-returns`) + SUM(`others-sales-
after-returns`))
 AS `totalEthicalSales`
 FROM `sales` GROUP BY `sales-store-id`
WHERE `date-s` BETWEEN '2018-09-01' AND '2018-10-01'

this is giving SQL error so i tried AND in place of WHERE  but that is also not grouping results properly it is only giving 2 results with same id
   SELECT `sales-store-id`,
      (SUM (`gen-acute-sales-after-returns`) + SUM(`gen- chronic-sales-after-returns`))
       AS `totalGenericSales` ,
      (SUM (`eth-acute-sales- after-returns`) + SUM(`eth-chronic-sales-after-returns`) + SUM(`others-sales-
    after-returns`))
     AS `totalEthicalSales`
     FROM `sales` GROUP BY `sales-store-id`
    AND `date-s` BETWEEN '2018-09-01' AND '2018-10-01'

what am i missing here?

A: The WHERE clause should appear before the GROUP BY clause in the SQL statement.
The order of clauses defined by the SQL language is:

*

*SELECT

*FROM

*JOIN

*WHERE

*GROUP BY

*HAVING

*ORDER BY

*LIMIT (MySQL Extension)

A: We can not use where clause after group by.
Use this query
SELECT `sales-store-id`,
  (SUM (`gen-acute-sales-after-returns`) + SUM(`gen- chronic-sales-after-returns`))
   AS `totalGenericSales` ,
  (SUM (`eth-acute-sales- after-returns`) + SUM(`eth-chronic-sales-after-returns`) + SUM(`others-sales-
after-returns`))
 AS `totalEthicalSales`
 FROM `sales`

where date-s BETWEEN '2018-09-01' AND '2018-10-01'
GROUP BY sales-store-id

A: There is a hierarchical order in which these keywords should written which is as follows:
SELECT, FROM, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY
 SELECT `sales-store-id`,
        (SUM (`gen-acute-sales-after-returns`) + SUM(`gen- chronic-sales-after-returns`))
     AS `totalGenericSales` ,
        (SUM (`eth-acute-sales- after-returns`) + SUM(`eth-chronic-sales-after-returns`)
       + SUM(`others-sales-after-returns`))
     AS `totalEthicalSales`
   FROM `sales`
  WHERE `date-s` BETWEEN '2018-09-01' AND '2018-10-01'
  GROUP BY `sales-store-id`;

Look at the age of the battery. Anything past 2 years and you replace that. If that doesn't clear it up then replace the charger. I take it you have already googled this and tried software methods. Cost is about 30 bucks here from Amazon for both items.
PS. While I know to look out for old batteries some want to test batteries with the Dell app or BatteryBar.
Edited 3 Months Ago by rproffitt: Grammar. Added PS.
Typically there is a Dell app which will tell you the battery health. You should find it on your taskbar. Right click and select Dell Power Manager. Some batteries also have a button which will indicate battery health when pressed via 1-5 LEDs.
Dell power cables also have a sense wire which is prone to breaking with repeated flexing. When it breaks your computer can no longer tell what type of battery it is talking to.
Finally, if the problem is with a motherboard component (connector or otherwise) a new battery may not help. This was the case with my Inspiron 1720. I replaced the battery and it still wouldn't charge. Fortunately it still works just fine on AC power.


Last weekend, a new and interesting stress relief activity presented itself: hitting people with a sword. (Actually, latex was in there before, but while talking to colleagues that did seem rather wrong.) It means I've indulged in a spot of live action role-playing activity, with the emphasis on live and action.
While my ears itch like mad now, the satisfaction of killing several highwaymen, undead, werewolves, ghouls and vampires seems to last longer than expected. Also, the simplicity of this weekend was refreshing. The main question was, when bored: should I go out in the woods and try and find some more highwaymen or go and take a nap to make sure I last the evening/night?
Chances are high that this activity will be repeated, as long as it enables me to safely hit / kill whatever is available. Maybe one day I'll even volunteer to play one of the monsters, since that might give even more scope for action.


"All Vows" is an English translation of "Kol Nidre," the incantation that begins the Yom Kippur service and which pre-emptively nullifies any future vows made unintentionally. The film uses ancient archival films to depict an unknowable future, reflected through a dissolving historic document. Featuring cellist Maya Beiser performing an original composition by composer Michael Gordon, who has collaborated on numerous projects with writer and director Bill Morrison, including Decasia (2002), which was added to the National Film Registry in 2013.

Chapter 9 Gold
AR; AREA; sc; gold coin; dollar price; gold bullion; gold subsidy program; price of gold; Gold reserves; Gold; Gold prices; Commodity markets; Mining sector; Africa
WORLD output of gold, excluding the production of the U.S.S.R., Mainland China, and countries associated with them, increased in 1964 for the eleventh consecutive year. The increase of about 3.4 per cent carried total production to the highest figure ever reached, about 40 million ounces, worth (at $35 a fine ounce) approximately $1,400 million (Table 42). This was almost entirely the result of increased production in South Africa. The comparable figure for the value of output in 1963 was $1,354 million; in 1962, $1,300 million; in 1961, $1,215 million; and in 1960, $1,178 million. The gold mining industry in South Africa again established new records; its production increased by more than 1.7 million ounces (6.2 per cent) to a total of 29.1 million ounces, equivalent in value to $1,020 million. This output constituted approximately 73 per cent of world production.
Gold Production
The number of tons of ore milled in South Africa in 1964 was about 1.5 per cent greater than in 1963, and the average grade of ore per ton milled rose from 6.861 dwt. in 1963 to 7.185 dwt. in 1964. By 1951 the average grade of ore had fallen to 3.756 dwt., but it has improved steadily since that time. Combined working profits from gold, uranium, and other products rose from R 313.0 million ($438.2 million) in 1963 to a record figure of R 332.6 million ($465.6 million) in 1964.
The value of production increased also in the Democratic Republic of Congo by the equivalent of $2.0 million, to $9.5 million, and in Colombia, India, Japan, and Rhodesia by lesser amounts, raising the value of production in these countries to the equivalents of $13.1 million, $5.2 million, $16.1 million, and $20.1 million, respectively. Gold production also increased sharply in the Philippines, where output was 13.3 per cent higher than in 1963, being equivalent to $14.9 million. This increase has been attributed mainly to the resumption of normal operations by a major company which suffered loss of production because of a prolonged strike in 1963, to the extension to 1967 of the Gold Assistance Act, and to tax exemption granted to certain mines.

Production in Canada declined again in 1964, falling to 3.8 million ounces, equivalent to US$133.0 million; this was the smallest output since 1948, when it totaled 3.5 million ounces (US$123.9 million). The 1964 figure compares with 4.0 million ounces (US$139.0 million) in 1963 and 4.2 million ounces (US$145.5 million) in 1962. The year of peak output in Canada was 1941, when 5.4 million ounces (US$188.0 million) were mined. In Canada, as elsewhere, costs of production in the gold mining industry have been rising. Production from new sources is thought unlikely to offset the declining output resulting from the closure of mines that are reaching the end of their reserves.
In the United States, whose output is the next largest to that of Canada (if the U.S.S.R. is disregarded), production declined again, to approximately 1.4 million ounces ($50.6 million), from 1.5 million ounces ($51.4 million) in 1963, after having been about 1.6 million ounces ($55 million) in both 1961 and 1962. The peak year for the United States was 1940, when 4.9 million ounces, equivalent to $170 million, were produced. Australia's gold production continued to decline in 1964, amounting to approximately 1 million ounces ($34 million). In 1963, output had been 1.03 million ounces ($36 million) after it had remained steady at about 1.09 million ounces ($38 million) in 1960, 1961, and 1962. Production also declined in Ghana, by the equivalent of. $2.0 million, to $30.2 million; in Mexico by $0.9 million, to $7.4 million; and in Nicaragua by $0.2 million, to $6.9 million.
Gold has become Bolivia's fourth largest export, and production has increased steadily over the past few years. A recent geological survey estimated the gold reserves in northeastern La Paz at between $1 billion and $3 billion. It has been estimated that, with modern techniques, Bolivia could be producing gold valued at approximately $22 million yearly by 1972. In southern India, the Geological Department of Kerala State has begun investigations of gold deposits in parts of the Kozhikode district. It has also been reported that gold can be extracted on a profitable basis from the deposits in South Wynaad and Nilambur areas.
Sales of gold by the Soviet Union, totaling the equivalent of approximately $330 million in the early months of 1964, have drawn further attention to Russian gold production. These sales, understood to be prompted by a need for foreign exchange in connection with grain purchases, compare with sales equivalent to $550 million in 1963 and $215 million in 1962. The official Russian news agency, Tass, has asserted that Russian gold sales in 1963 did not deplete that country's gold reserves. A member of the Soviet State Geological Committee has claimed that a large new gold field, which has been discovered on the Kolyma River in the Yakutsk region, could be the biggest in the world. Another report from the East German news agency, ADN, mentioned new gold discoveries in Central Asia, Kazakhstan, and Transcaucasia, which are estimated to be able to produce as much gold as all the east and northeast regions of Russia produce at present. It has also been reported that modern machinery and mining methods are now being employed to increase production.
In general, the gold mining industry remains concerned by the decreasing gap between rising costs of production and the fixed price of $35 a fine ounce. Several governments have granted assistance to their gold mining industries; in some countries this assistance has taken the form of subsidies. These arrangements are mentioned below.
Gold Holdings
The monetary authorities of the world are estimated to have added about $725 million in 1964 to their stocks of gold (Table 43 and Chart 28); this compares with additions of about $840 million in 1963, $330 million in 1962, $600 mil-Ion in 1961, and $225 million in 1951, the year in which the smallest postwar increase was recorded. The holdings of the Sino-Soviet area have not been included in these figures, but those of the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, and the European Fund have been taken into account. World reserves of monetary gold, thus defined, amounted to the equivalent of approximately $43 billion. The important movements in the distribution of reserves during 1964 are discussed in Chapter 6.
The amount of newly available gold in the Western world in 1964 was of the order of the equivalent of $1,730 million. Absorption by private holders, industry, and the arts in 1964 thus appears to have been in the region of $1,005 million, i.e., some $60 million less than in 1963.

Gold Markets and Prices
As fiscal agent for the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York stands ready to buy gold at the price of $34.9125 a fine ounce and to sell gold at $35.0875 a fine ounce for official monetary purposes. In 1964, it sold gold equivalent to $36.2 million (net) to foreign countries and international institutions. In addition, the equivalent of $89.0 million was sold domestically for industrial, professional, and artistic uses. The total decrease in the U.S. gold stock during the calendar year 1964 thus amounted to some $125.2 million (Table 44), compared with $460.7 million in 1963 and some $889.9 million in 1962. Purchases of gold from foreign countries in 1964 included the equivalent of $617.7 million from the United Kingdom, of which approximately $300 million resulted from the United States' 50 per cent share in the operations of the Gold Pool, described in last year's Annual Report (p. 131).
The amount of gold held under earmark by the Federal Reserve Banks for account of foreign central banks, governments, and international institutions fell in 1964 by the equivalent of $255.3 million, to $12.7 billion. This fall was due primarily to the fact that in 1964 France repatriated in gold the equivalent of some $422 million.

Over the period May 1,1964 to April 30,1965, the dollar price of gold (converted at the buying price for dollars in London at the time of the daily fixing) fluctuated within a range of about 111/16 cents—between a maximum of $35.17¾ a fine ounce on March 5, 1965 and a minimum of $35.0611/16 a fine ounce on August 25, 1964 (Chart 29). In the same 12-month period in 1963/64 the corresponding range was 55/16 cents—between $35.113/16 and $35.05⅞ a fine ounce.
On May 1, 1964, the equivalent price at the "fixing" was slightly above $35.07⅜ a fine ounce and, although there was a steady demand for bar gold, the price did not fluctuate by much more than 1 cent either side of $35.08 until mid-September. During this period, the Gold Pool was able to acquire a modest amount of gold becoming available from new production. The heavy sales of gold by the U.S.S.R. in the first three months of the year were not, however, repeated. At the beginning of August, the attack on U.S. naval craft in the Gulf of Tonkin caused a flurry in the gold market, and on August 6 dealings were reported at about $35.10 a fine ounce after the "fixing" at $35.0815/16 a fine ounce. During the summer the exchange rate for the pound sterling had been progressively easing and on August 27 the sterling price at the "fixing" was 252s. 0¼d. a fine ounce. This was the first time since July 25, 1961 that the sterling price of gold had exceeded 252s.
Private demand for gold remained modest during August but increased sharply in September and October, as the approach of elections in both the United States and the United Kingdom caused some nervousness in the markets. This nervousness was accentuated in October by the political news from Moscow, reports of a worsening situation on the Malaysian/Indonesian border, and the news of the success of Mainland China's first atomic explosion. Following the results of the British elections on October 16, the demand for gold, coupled with a weakness of sterling in the exchange market, pushed the sterling price at the "fixing" to 252s. 4¾d. a fine ounce, the highest point of the year, and the U.S. dollar equivalent price to about $35.123/16 a fine ounce, the highest price in U.S. dollar terms since the Cuban crisis in October 1962. While the authorities effectively controlled the market through the operations of the Gold Pool, speculation against the pound sterling persisted, and on November 23 the bank rate in London was raised from 5 per cent to 7 per cent. The sterling price at the "fixing" on November 23 was lower by 6¼d., reflecting an improvement in the dollar/sterling exchange rate, but speculation persisted and massive international support was mustered in defense of the existing parity of the pound. During this exchange crisis, the gold market had been fairly active but was not much affected by events in the exchange market. In mid-December, demand for hoarding was noticeable, and at the end of the year there was some covering of positions for balance sheet purposes.

(In U.S. dollars a fine ounce)
A strong wave of buying started in January 1965, when there were rumors of the intention of the U.S. authorities to remove the gold reserve requirement against deposits in the Federal Reserve Banks and against Federal Reserve notes, and some publicity was given to the French intention to convert surplus dollars into gold. On January 8 there was a larger turnover of gold in London than on any day during the Cuban crisis. The "fixing" price was equivalent to nearly $35.15 a fine ounce, and the authorities met demand later in the day at prices up to $35.19 a fine ounce. Demand abated only after the U.S. Treasury issued a firm statement of its intention to maintain the existing price of gold. For the remainder of January, the price remained at about $35.12 a fine ounce, but demand again escalated early in February, on the appearance of French proposals for a reform of the international monetary system. The deteriorating situation in Viet-Nam caused some buying by speculators and others, and the price increased steadily until March 5, when at the "fixing" it reached, in U.S. dollar terms, a peak of slightly above $35.17¾ a fine ounce. On March 3, President Johnson signed the bill eliminating the requirement of a gold cover for Federal Reserve Bank deposits, thus freeing some $5 billion of gold to meet potential foreign claims. This measure had little immediate impact on a market overshadowed by events in Southeast Asia; nevertheless, with minor fluctuations, the price of gold in London declined steadily until April 30, when the price, in U.S. dollar terms, at the "fixing" was $35.10⅝ a fine ounce.
The Gold Pool continued to operate effectively and to exert a stabilizing influence in the market during 1964. Increased new production, plus substantial sales of gold by the U.S.S.R. in the first three months of the calendar year, enabled the Pool to share out the equivalent of some $600 million of gold to its participants, an amount similar to that distributed in 1963. No contributions to the Pool had to be made in 1964 by participating central banks.
During 1964, the United Kingdom imported some 40.9 million ounces of gold bullion, equivalent to $1,429.8 million, compared with 34.3 million ounces ($1,200.5 million) in 1963 and 34.1 million ounces ($1,192.9 million) in 1962. Of the imports in 1964, the equivalent of $1,106.0 million came from South Africa and the equivalent of $268.6 million from the U.S.S.R. These figures compare with $816.1 million and $281.2 million in 1963, and with $664.7 million and $106.9 million in 1962. Exports from the United Kingdom amounted to 17.6 million ounces, equivalent to $615.8 million, whereas in 1963 the total was 19 million ounces ($664.5 million), and in 1962 it was 29 million ounces ($1,013.8 million).
In markets where gold is bought and sold against local currencies (Table 45), the day-to-day movements of the U.S. dollar equivalent prices have varied from the London pattern because of the special characteristics of each market and the fluctuations in the intermediary rate of exchange. Prices for bar gold and gold coins in local currencies in the period May 1, 1964 to April 30, 1965 rose steadily under pressure from speculators because of the unsettled situation in Southeast Asia and other political uncertainties.
In Bombay, the U.S. dollar equivalent price for bar gold fluctuated quite widely. From a low point of $74.33 a fine ounce in the week ended May 8,

1964, it rose to $81.24 a fine ounce at the end of August 1964, but then fell sharply to $74.23 a fine ounce in the week ended September 18. It would appear that the reduced demand for gold at this point reflected the gold control measures that the Indian Government had previously introduced.1 (The number of dealers and refiners had fallen from about 27,000 to some 12,000, the quantity of gold used for industrial purposes had been reduced by approximately 50 per cent, and loans of scheduled banks against the security of gold had dropped from a peak of Rs 420 million [$88 million] in October 1962 to Rs 180 million [$38 million] in June 1964.) After September 18, the price of bar gold fluctuated narrowly but with an upward tendency, reaching $84.30 a fine ounce in the week ended April 30, 1965.
The activity in the London gold market on January 8, 1965 was reflected in Paris, where the intervention of the authorities brought the price of the one-kilogram ingot down to F 5,640, from a peak of F 6,000, after what was described as an unprecedented demand for this type of bar gold. The turnover in Paris on January 8 was reported to be in the region of F 22.5 million ($4.6 million).
In Hong Kong, trading in gold was reported to have been suspended temporarily at the end of the first week in March 1965 after the price had been forced up to HK$271 an ounce, 0.945 fine, equivalent to about US$41 a fine ounce.
Gold Transactions Service
Since the inauguration of the Fund's gold transactions service in March 1952, the central banks of 26 member countries and 5 international organizations have purchased or sold gold through the facilities provided by the Fund. In all, 120 transactions, amounting to about $1,093 million, have taken place since March 1952. Although the creation of the Gold Pool has had the effect of virtually eliminating the need for the service, one transaction for the equivalent of approximately $10 million was completed in the year under review, and the Fund received two or three inquiries as to whether it was aware of any sellers of gold.
Changes in National Policies Affecting Gold
In Argentina, the Central Bank suspended trading in gold coins and bullion on June 15, 1964.
In the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury issued an order, effective on April 25, 1964, removing the restrictions on the holding of U.S. gold certificates issued before January 30, 1934. These certificates, at the time of their issuance, were redeemable in gold. By his order of December 28, 1933, as supplemented and amended by his orders of January 15, 1934 and July 14, 1954, the Secretary of the Treasury required the delivery to the United States of gold bullion, gold certificates, and gold coins situated in the United States, except gold coins having a recognized special value to collectors of rare and unusual coins. By virtue of a general license, all persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States may now acquire, hold, dispose of, export, and import U.S. gold certificates issued before January 30, 1934, whether situated inside or outside the United States. Such certificates are not redeemable in gold, but may be exchanged at their dollar face value for other lawful U.S. coin or currency which is legal tender.
As stated above (p. 101), the requirement of a 25 per cent gold cover for deposits in Federal Reserve Banks has been eliminated. The statutory requirement regarding a 25 per cent gold cover for Federal Reserve notes was not affected, how ever.
In Spain, the Government decreed in April 1965 that gold bullion and gold coins required to be surrendered to the Government in 1937 could be handed back to private ownership because of the favorable evolution of the Spanish economy in recent years. Requests for the return of the gold are to be made to the Institute of Foreign Exchange; however, owners have been given the option of selling their gold to the Institute at the current price.
Gold Subsidy Programs
The gold subsidy programs of the Governments of Canada,2 the Philippines,3 South Africa,4 and Rhodesia5 discussed in previous Annual Reports have continued in operation during the past year. The gold subsidy program for the Philippines was extended, on the same terms and conditions, for a further three years until June 1967.
In Australia, as in most other gold-producing countries, rising production costs in conjunction with a fixed official price for gold have continued to create problems for the industry. The assistance which the Australian Government has been making available to the gold-mining industry in recent years has taken the forms of subsidies and development allowances. As the legislation authorizing this assistance was due to expire on June 30, 1965, the Australian Government recently reviewed the position of the industry and introduced new assistance arrangements. Under these arrangements the development allowance scheme has not been renewed and future assistance to the industry will be provided by continuing the subsidy scheme in a liberalized form. The liberalizations were designed to absorb to some extent the development allowance scheme into the subsidy scheme and to take account of the deterioration in the industry's general financial position since the Government last reviewed the question of assistance three years earlier. The new measures increased the maximum rate of subsidy for large producers from £ A 3 5s. 0d. to £ A 4 0s. Od. per ounce, and the flat rate subsidy for small producers from £A 2 8s. Od. to £A 3 0s. 0d. per ounce, with a consequential adjustment in the provision relating to the rate of subsidy payable to producers with an output of more than 500 ounces a year who elect to be treated as small producers. The legislation introducing the new arrangements provides that they will operate for a period of five years.

Long Shots Still Come to New Hampshire, Hoping to Beat the Odds. But Why?
By Lauren Chooljian • Jan 13, 2020

Some of the Democratic candidates running for president this year are banking on a myth.
It's a famous one: That New Hampshire gives little known candidates a real chance at the White House.
But in 2020, is there still any truth to that?
Listen to the broadcast version of this story.
The main reason any candidate even believes they can go from low-polling long shot to underdog winner in New Hampshire is because it's happened before. Before the 1976 election, hardly anyone knew who Jimmy Carter was. But Carter paved the way for little known candidates by coming to New Hampshire and focusing on retail politics: He slept in voters homes, his family and friends knocked on doors for him, and he built momentum one voter at a time.
And it worked. He won the New Hampshire primary and went on to become president. And more than four decades later, candidates are still using the same playbook.
I asked Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, who's low in the polls but spending a lot of time in New Hampshire, where he got the idea of putting all his hopes in a surprise Granite State finish.
"Jimmy Carter would be a good person to get this idea from but I first got it from Gary Hart," he told me.
Bennet makes a good point: Carter may have started this, but later candidates like Hart (who came in a surprise first place in the 1984 Democratic primary), Bill Clinton (who rode an unexpected second-place result in New Hampshire to the White House), and John McCain (who twice beat the odds to win here) carried on the tradition. Their campaigns only solidified New Hampshire's legend as a place where underdogs could find a home and shock the political world.

But what about in 2020? Is that still possible? Bennet seems to think so. He's certainly doing the retail politics thing: He's promised to hold 50 town halls before the primary. And by NHPR's count, he's held more events than any other candidate.
But it's not like he always draws a crowd. There were just a dozen people at a recent campaign event at a Somersworth cafe.
"As you may have noticed I'm not at the top of the polls right now, which makes you deeply cherished people that you're here today listening to me, so I would love your help," he told the cafe crowd.
Yet Bennet keeps going. And, he says, he's not giving up hope.
"When I'm meeting with people in New Hampshire, they're farther away from making up their minds than they were six weeks ago, six months ago, or even a year ago," he said.
That is true: There are a lot of undecided voters around here and no clear frontrunner. But in 2020, there are a few major obstacles that guys like Hart and Carter didn't have to worry about. Bennet hasn't qualified for any of the national television debates since this summer. Not to mention, it's January: Time is running out.
And Bennet clearly has a lot of ground to make up.
The same night Bennet was in Somersworth, around 900 people came to see Pete Buttigieg a few miles away in Portsmouth. Now sure, not every person in this audience will vote for Buttigieg. But campaigns drawing bigger crowds have an easier time identifying supporters they can get to the polls on primary day.
For example, a Buttigieg staffer got people to text the campaign their information right on the spot.
"That's how you get signed up for all the events happening near you and how you sign up to talk to your neighbors and your friends about Pete," the staffer told the crowd.
I tested it out and got a text back immediately with details for nine upcoming events.
So, is it possible for a guy like Bennet to score a surprise win in New Hampshire? It's gonna be tough. Which of course raises the question: Why would a low-polling candidate keep campaigning here?
Maybe because some New Hampshire voters want them to. Max Koenig from Dover is trying to see every 2020 candidate; he was at Bennet's Somersworth event.
"There's 320 million people in this country, and I dont think it's a bad thing to have a bunch of different voices," Koenig said.
Max grew up in New Hampshire, and he said if the state stops being a place where anybody can show up and try and run for president, the country will be the lesser for it.
"Hearing those stories only makes us better as a country and understanding that everyone is coming from a different place here, so I'm all for it," he said. "I wish there were twice as many candidates that we were running around trying to see."
But while this might be good for democracy, it's still not going to help Bennet achieve that long shot win he's hoping for.
Koenig already knows who he's voting for: He's a Trump supporter.
NH Primary History
Dixville Notch Finds Enough People to Retain Claim to Fame
Chris Jensen for NHPR
An official representing a tiny New Hampshire community whose tradition of being among the first to cast ballots for president in primaries and the general election was endangered says it now has enough people to go ahead.
Tom Tillotson says Dixville Notch has a necessary fifth resident to vote in the first presidential primary on Feb. 11.
In Franklin, Local Leaders Size Up Issues Heading Into The 2020 Primary
By Rick Ganley & Mary McIntyre • Jan 13, 2020
Rick Ganley / NHPR
Like many other New Hampshire communities, the city of Franklin has tried for decades to recover from a lost mill economy resulting in an aging population, struggling schools, and a downtown with lots of vacant storefronts.
The state's smallest and one of its poorest cities has ambitious plans for growth, making it an appealing backdrop for candidates in the 2020 presidential primary race.
But how well are these candidates, who are promising to restore the nation, addressing the issues that matter most to Franklin?


How long will it be before I get results?
As with any treatment, results vary from individual to individual. We have clients who report immediate results and, again, there are some who have reported positive results after as much as five to seven months. Response to treatment is governed by many factors, such as whether or not the individual is dealing with multiple medical conditions in addition to numbers of and classes of prescription drugs they may be taking. It has been our experience, however, that individuals who are persistent in following their treatment regimen will ultimately gain an improvement in their condition.
What is the 7.83 Hz signal?
The 7.83 Hz signal, a twin electrical signal - one to stimulate the nerve cells and the other to trigger muscle cells simultaneously - is pulsed on and off at the frequency of 7.83 cycles per second. We have found that the body is particularly sensitive to this frequency. One postulation for this sensitivity is that the electrical potential between the earth's atmosphere and the earth's surface is also 7.83 Hz. We have found that the body responds favorably to this setting. The 7.83 Hz setting may also promote a generalized sense of well-being, reduce pain levels elsewhere in the body, and lessen emotional pain as well. This ensures a very high level of user compliance not only because the user feels good physically during the massage-like treatment period but because he/she feels better emotionally afterward with a reduction in global pain for a period of 4 to 6 hours.
Do I have to use it every day indefinitely?
No. Once improvement has been attained, the frequency of use can gradually be reduced. Some clients have been able to sustain their improvement by using the ReBuilder only twice per week. Maintenance will vary by individual.
There are no negative side effects when using the ReBuilder according to the directions. However, we have had reports of sore or cramping calf muscles resulting from using it at too high a setting for a sustained period, much like exercising too much too quickly. We recommend using the ReBuilder initially at a low setting thereby allowing the feet and legs time to adjust to the stimulation.
On a rare occasion, an individual may experience headache or nausea. This infrequent reaction can happen as a result of an adrenalin rush for users who harbor a latent fear of electricity as a whole. That subconscious fear can produce adrenalin that, in turn, produces temporary headaches or nausea.
There are, however, positive side effects from using the unit. As a result of nerve stimulation, the brain releases endorphins which help relax muscles and reduce pain in other parts of the body. The ReBuilder also helps to increase mobility by building muscle mass, improving leg strength, and promoting better balance. In addition, many clients also report experiencing a better night's rest and a reduction in the need for pain medication.
Use of the ReBuilder is contraindicated for individuals with pacemakers or any other implanted electrical medical devices, for pregnant women, and for children under the age of eight. If any of the above situations apply, consult with a physician before using. We do not recommend placing the electrodes directly over an open wound or near a recent surgical site.
Can I use it with medications?
Though not true for all users, some individuals will experience a stronger pulse in one electrode than the other. When this is the case, we recommend switching electrodes half way through the session in order to gain maximum benefit from the treatment.

Hound Hall. | Photos courtesy Thomas and Talbot Real Estate.
With foxhunting season on the horizon, thoughts of tacked-up horses and stylish hunting parties, with all dressed in riding coats and hunt caps, come to mind. Soon, the Virginia Hunt Country — with its large, historic estates, elegant horse farms and unspoiled surroundings — will reawaken these images. Rolling hills colored apple green and cornflower blue take on an almost mystical quality in the early morning light, or at dusk when hunting parties traverse through venerable foxhunting grounds associated with private clubs.
Perhaps the most prestigious of these is the Orange County Hunt, founded in 1910. Today, the Orange County Hunt encompasses a patchwork of properties with thousands of acres of easement-protected land. Rare is it then to find an estate coming on the market in such an esteemed place. Enter: Hound Hall.
With 100 acres in the heart of the Orange County Hunt, Hound Hall is a golden coin unearthed from Virginia's deep-rooted treasure trove. In the early 2000s, a private owner purchased the land and built an English country house for his family. The estate was named Hound Hall after the owner's daughters attended Foxcroft School. Here, students are either "Foxes" or "Hounds," the designations of two spirited teams, and when the girls became "Hounds," a name for the estate was born.
Hound Hall has frontage on two country roads and is situated just down from Boxwood Winery and Hickory Tree Farm. The grounds boast a number of impeccable features, including a state-of-the-art equestrian facility suitable for professional show, polo or racing operations. The 17-stall Belmont racing barn and stable was completely rebuilt, a tribute to the surrounding country. Highlights of the facility include an expansive 7/8-mile sand exercise track that can be used for cross-country schooling or converted for polo. Additionally, there's a separate two-stall barn with a two-bedroom apartment for trainers.
The house at Hound Hall defies its recent construction. It feels at once historic and modern, a dichotomy that affords both luxury and convenience. Outside, the home, built with a locally quarried stone, is lavishly landscaped. Inside, five en-suite bedrooms allow ample room for family, extended family and guests. Throughout the house, antique, wide-plank oak and pine floors sprawl; the railheads are all period reproductions, stained to replicate the patina of age and wear. Five wood-burning fireplaces add warmth on cold Virginia evenings, and the ironwork in these hearths, along with the fireplace tools, was designed and forged locally.
The owner spared no time or expense to ensure the home's quality construction, readily working with the craftsmen, artisans and architect on his vision. This effort is evidenced in the paneling, doors, bookcases, cabinets and interior window shutters, all of which are handmade and hand carved from 9,000 square feet of old chestnut boards sourced in Pennsylvania.
In addition to the home and the equestrian facility, Hound Hall has a first-class sporting clays course. Shooting enthusiasts will covet the enclosed automatic, dual-action Promatic thrower and the area for entertaining, all within walking distance of the house. There is also a walk-in Pentagon gun safe on the lower level of the house.
This multi-faceted property, just seven minutes from Middleburg, is both an elegant sporting estate and a comfortable country home. Whoever its future buyer may be, the land — with its unobstructed mountain views, wooded acreage and rolling hills — is sure to offer a sense of peace, embodying the bond between man and nature. And, who knows, Hound Hall's future owner may just watch the next fox hunt canter through, witness to a token of sporting history that remains alive and well today.

Revitalized EP
Without fail, the same thing happens at the end of every year; I submit my year end picks to various outlets, only to have a release cross my path that would have made the list. In this case the second self released EP from Long Island's Painted In Exile would have hands down been the best EP of 2009, if not certainly one of the best self released efforts I heard in 2009. (Thanks to Infinite Death for the recommendation)
The most immediate and viable comparison for this stunning 3 song, 27 minute release is Between the Buried and Me; scatter shot, intricate and progressive metal with lots going on from jazzy interludes, rap, and a bit more emphasis than BTBAM on rumbling death metal vocals and grooves.
With a the same cacophony of sweeping, arpeggios, stuttering rhythms, synths, dreamy tangents and a mix of growls and svelte clean croons from Rob Richards, Revitalized is a consistently morphing listen that will garner the same levels as love or hate as BTBAM due to the constant shifting of styles. That being said, Painted In Exile are not quite as adventurous as BTBAM (there's no 14 minute songs, circus music or country ho downs), as each of the three songs do stick to a somewhat more structured formula and have more of a tech death metal backbone akin to the likes The Faceless and Born of Osiris. In fact, I hope Sumerian Records is reading this….(or maybe Victory/Prosthetic Records?).
All three tracks are chock full of lurching loping riffage, soulful singing, melodic solos and rumbling discordance that all cones together in something far more engaging, epic and memorable than the Sumerian Records roster and none of it seems forced or trend hopping. Richards' clean vocals are engaging without being too emo (they are more prog/power metal than anything), and the acoustic/synth tangents are well placed without sounding piecemeal such as 5:30 of "Revitalized", early sections of "Distance by Dissonance" (which is followed by a brutal blast beat). However, a real curveball opens "Skylines" with a rap metal intro before the song careens into a vortex of tech metal then a languid lounge-core tangent – but it all works here. As with most music of this style, the musicianship is flawless and the production is pro quality. The only issue will be can fans stomach the vast array of styles on display, even when blended as seamlessly and brilliantly as it is here.
I have not been this blown away by a band like this since I first heard BTBAM, Lye By Mistake, early The Number 12 Looks Like You or DEP. And the fact this is self released (with a version available from itunes for a mere $4) makes it even more mind blowing.
I hope someone at a decent label takes notice, cos these guys should blow up anytime now.

I love BTBAM so your review intrigued me. I did check out the song they have on their myspace which is pretty good, except for the fact that it is pretty much Between the Buried and me worship (like you said without the country ho-down weirdness BTBAM have started doing recently).
Then I checked out the lyrics they had posted for the 3 songs on the ep, and more specifically the song Skylines………..seriously?
I'm sorry but how can these guys not be laughed at like Limp Bizkit?
I really don't consider myself a musical snob, but to me those seemed like stupid lyrics, and in fact seemed so stupid to me that I am now not interested in listening to this band at all. (I'm sure the members of P.I.E will weep openly)
I'm just asking the question, is it worth suffering through horribly written lyrics just because they're a decent band?
I will give them credit though for being able to get "bitches" to call them Gandalf (I love Lord of the Rings).

AARONIUS you and every other idiot doesn't realize that the rap is a fucking joke.Iam from the same town as thes guys and am good friends with them. It was them having fun just saying "hahah fuck it we are back". The music is incredible so stop with your BTBAM blowing. BTBAM is good but every song is the same thing. Stop being so close minded. You just aren't ready for new talented music.
Commented by: Brandon Reinhart
The lyrics are, I think, meant to be funny not serious. They seem to mimic the cornball lyrical style of the musical form they are working with at the time. So the lyrics for the death metal sections are death metal cheese and the rap sections are rap cheese. Works for me.
As metalheads don't we all sort of build up an immunity to garbage lyrics, anyway?
Commented by: Infinite Death
This is excellent Erik…accurate comparisons to other bands as well. I'm really glad you ended up reviewing this. Every piece of exposure they get will surely be good for them.

AARONIUS. the beginning lyrics to skylines are a joke. the talent that this band has is insane.their drummer / guitar players are the best i have herd in this genre of music in a long time. the lyrics to all the songs are very well written. their knowledge of all music fields is also a breath of fresh air. curb the ignorance. jazz influenced metal is going to be huge. and this band did it perfect. great review. amazing band. keep it up painted, you guys will make it big.
Commented by: blastmeat
we'll a few of you have said it already but yes the beginning of skylines is meant to be fun. How anyone could have anything bad to say about this band is just unreal. If you like and respect bands such as BTBAM and the faceless then you should have no problem listening to such a talented band that is painted in exile. their singer has the best untrained voice out there , whether it be clean vocals or not. drummer is off the charts. strings shred it up. and the keys just tie it all together. also their keyboard player is not just one of their friends that they threw in the band for a ride like alot of these bands do today . i can point out a few bands with very untalented keyboard players that just want a spot in a band. keys go overlooked a lot thats why i am just pointing out his talent.
Commented by: BKaz
I think I can speak for alot of people in that we were waiting for something like this for a while. In my honest opinion this has transcended acts like The Faceless and Born of Osiris (and even BTBAM quite frankly), and P.I.E has righteously conquered (or rather "pioneered") this entire style of music with a 27 minute EP (and this is not an easy task by any means). The EP isn't some sumerian-flauntfest; it has depth, originality, brutality, grace, and even a sense of playfulness that coexists with dark and brooding sincerity. The heavy sections are downright blistering and groovy, and the jazz/progressive sections (favorite example being 2:45 on "Distanced by Dissonance")have a great fluid dynamic and they're overall tastefully done.
P.I.E makes pretty much every big-name scene act look like a fuckin' joke, and I'll say that this EP is the only metal material that I've spun since I gotten ahold of it on its online release date. It's smart, fresh, and exactly what we needed.
*As a final note too, if you are discarding your interest or P.I.E's talent because of the beginning rap section of "Skylines", then you are genuinely a critical, close-minded and elitist douchefuck
Commented by: Lappo
This band makes me angry; so much wasted potential. They are clearly extremely awesome at their instruments. Even some of the parts they write are pretty great (particularly the jazz and clean bits).
But as a whole, their "compositions" are such dogshit. It's as if they compiled 100 different ideas, separated them randomly into 3 piles, and then turned each pile into a "song". PIE doesn't have its own sound. Their music is an unfocused, incoherent mish-mash of ideas that make prior pioneers of genre-salad-surgery (Unexpect, BTBAM with their latest efforts, etc) look like pop artists by comparison.
If they held on to their better ideas and expanded on them with coherent motifs, weeding out things like excessive forced chugging sections that plague and define every 'technical/progressive deathcore' band out there today, perhaps they could come up with something worthwhile.
2009's releases from Into the Moat, Starring Janet Leigh, A Textbook Tragedy, among others are examples of how to make smart technical metal/hardcore music that is progressive, but focused.
Focus–it's what this band lacks.
Commented by: stinkbox
I agree with lappo and arronius. Definitely a ridiculous amount of BTBAM influence in there. I am not impressed with the orchestration whatsoever, and the rap is pretty silly. However, these kids are unbelievably talented and I think that once they find there niche they will completely blow everyone away hopefully with the next cd.
Commented by: shaolinlambkiller
I went and listened. I liked it enough to buy the most recent ep.
I hated the rap shit at the begining of skylines, but it didn't ruin the entire band for me. I don't care if it was a joke or not.
Other than that I'd look forward to another cd. hopefully without jokes or at least saved for an extra hidden track so I don't have to listen to that at all.
Commented by: AIMP
these guys were our artist of the month awhile back. mad love for these guys. there really fucking good and talented
To each his own. I didn't think I was being closed-minded or ignorant by stating my opinion.
Personally joke or not, I don't want to hear rapped lyrics that have nothing to say other than "look how funny it is to rap this stuff". To me it seems unprofessional and something a young inexperienced band would do.
If my opinion made you guys that crazy maybe the ignorance isn't coming from my end at all.
I simply choose not to listen to this particular band that's my choice, if you don't like it uh…tough luck I guess.

I really don't care about the lyrics when the music is so incredibly versatile and innovative! I was a little confused by the lyrics at first, too! but shit these guys are raising the bar for any progressive music in general so unbelievably high! at the moment I really enjoy their music a lot more than btbams, although I loved their last 3 albums a lot, too!! it's crazy these guys haven't got a deal! quite ridiculous! I gotta spread the word here overseas in germany! perhaps mike portnoy should just get a listen! seems he's the guy for the REAL promotion!

This band is amazing. The rap at the beginning is a fucking joke and people are taking it way too seriously. Listen through the entire song and after you finish picking your jaw off the floor you would have forgotten all about the rap.

They ARE a young and inexperienced band (most or all band members are under TWENTY I believe), cut them some slack. The rap section is a bit much for my taste as well, and I think it is risky to put a "joke" at the beginning of one of your songs when you are a new band and still searching for an identity. Many people may not get "the joke," and using the word "nigga" in your rhymes is just plain ridiculous when the entire band is composed of suburban white kids.
That aside, the band has MOUNTAINS of talent. When they focus their sound instead of just using every single cool thing they can think of per track, the result is going to be nothing short of amazing. Even now while lacking a bit of focus, they are original, creative and technically great. I'm from Long Island as well, and really looking forward to future shows from P.I.E as well as releases.

I fuckin looooove this band so much.. They totally encouraged me to write songs again! Which is a hard thing to do, because i almost gave up on metal.. For me almost any riff has been there before and thats why i love how they have this fuckin riffs and then you just dont hear them again until you listen to the whole song again. It may sound ideotic but thats what i've always been waiting for.. A fuckin 30 minute package of kick-ass tech-death riffs, flawless jazz-parts and fuckin brOotal breakdowns.
Hands down.. best band i've heard since veil of maya
Sry for all the "fuckin"s.. i think i just overdid it a bit in my last comment ^^

"Personally joke or not, I don't want to hear rapped lyrics that have nothing to say other than 'look how funny it is to rap this stuff'. To me it seems unprofessional and something a young inexperienced band would do."
While I do respect your opinion I whole-heartedly disagree. Are they a young and inexperienced band? Sure. Are they unprofessional? Not in the slightest bit. I think too much has been lost in this new era of progressive music. Bands such as Dream Theater and Between the Buried and Me have created such a stigma for "professional" playing that having a little bit of fun in songs is seen as "unprofessional". Personally, I never want to listen to a band who takes themselves too seriously. I want a band who lives for their music and feels what they play. PIE exemplifies that. This is a band that enjoys what they do and wants nothing more than to create music for the masses and just plain ol' have fun. Go ahead. Compare them to BTBAM. I'm sure they wouldn't mind the compliment. These guys have what it takes to do great things.
On a side note, listen to BTBAM's old stuff. It does not even compare to albums such as Alaska, Colors, and The Great Misdirect. They grew as musicians as they got older and became influenced by bands as they grew, such as Dream Theater (which the influence can easily be seen after they toured with them). So the fact that the 20-somethings from PIE are drawing comparisons to BTBAM after their EP makes me incredibly thrilled to see what they do in the future.
And one other side note. I don't remember there being rules to progressive music. I think that is the whole beauty of it. If you want to write a song with lyrics about nothing and rap them, then go on ahead and do it. If you want to create a muddled mix of 10 second snippets of music and put it into a 9 minute song, then go for it. Progressive is the best genre because of the simple fact that it isn't a genre. It isn't confined to rules and regulations to abide by. Anything goes at anytime.
One last side note. I love BTBAM and Dream Theater very much so I don't want the first point to be misconstrued that they are too professional and don't have any fun. They obviously do.
MMMMMMMM, PIE.

These guys are incredible no matter what way you spin it. This review pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as their overall sound and style. What some of you people fail to realize is that this "rap-metal" part your all talking about in skylines is rather ingenious. Not only is it one thing that anyone can listen to no matter what their musical preference, but also, i can see this part selling big on itunes man. People love unexpected things like this, and it also gives us a feel on how the band is a good group of humorous guys. As for me, i give this whole EP a 10/10. These guys really put their all into it, and shelled out a fortune to record this record with Will, from The Machine Shop, which has recorded quite a few big name bands on huge labels. Can't wait to see what these guys come up with next.

While I would agree that, at first, it does sound like a bit of a mess, repeated listens seem to make sense of the changes until you feel wrapped in a layer of skill and awesome sound. Love it.
Also, this was the third metal album I ever bought, and I cannot think of a better way to start.

Painted in exile is incredible!! Their three song ep is better than a lot of "bigger" bands full legths, and I think the fact that they produced it without a lable behind them shows how dedicated they are to their music. As far as being compared to BTBAM I think people should just stop because even if they are inspired by BTBAM they are in no way copying them or stealing their sound. There a lot of other bands that they sound way more simmilar to but it doesn't matter because they have a very distinct sound!

Blair Must Insist on Urgent Action for Guantanamo Prisoners
Amnesty International UK Campaigns Director Stephen Bowen said:
'Tony Blair has stood by and watched as a foreign power arbitrarily imprisoned British citizens in inhumane conditions. Now they may face an unfair trial and even execution.
'It is time for an end to the silence. It is Blair's job to stand up for the rights of British citizens abroad and he must not let them down.
'The strongest possible pressure must be put on President Bush to bring the shameful situation at Guantanamo Bay to an end. All those held should be either charged and face a fair trial, or immediately released.'
The organisation says that the proposed military tribunals, before which UK citizens Moazzem Begg and Ferroz Abassi could reportedly stand trial, do not comply with international law. The tribunals are discriminatory as they will only try non-Americans and are not independent, with their members appointed by the US executive. They will accept a lower standard of evidence than ordinary courts and offer no right of appeal to an independent court. The tribunals may also impose the death penalty.
Amnesty International has stated that nobody should stand trial before these tribunals. The organisation is urging Tony Blair to ensure that British detainees face trial before a court that complies with international standards.
Tony Blair must also make representations on behalf of Bisher Al-Rawi, an Iraqi national legally resident in the UK, and Jamil Al-Banna, a Jordanian national with refugee status in the UK, says Amnesty. The two men, who were originally arrested on arrival at Banjul Airport, Gambia on 8 November 2002, are also held without charge or trial in Guantánamo Bay. Iraq has no government to represent Bisher Al-Rawi and the UK has a responsibility towards him as one of the occupying powers in Iraq.

Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro is one step closer to running for governor in 2018.
Molinaro, a Republican, formed a gubernatorial campaign committee that will allow him to raise money for a potential run against Democrat Andrew Cuomo, who is running for a third term.
"As Marc has traveled around the state exploring a run, many have asked how they can support and encourage his efforts - the committee provides a mechanism for them to do so," David Catalfamo, a spokesman for Molinaro, said.
The county executive, who has been touring the state, announced Monday he is considering teaming up with Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb (R-Canandaigua) in a governor's race.
Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, who was defeated by Cuomo in 2014, is also considering another run for governor.

Some pipe clamps are adjustable to suit various different pipe sizes. They are usually screwed into place to provide support to the pipework and prevent it from moving or dislodging. You can find all detailed information about their functioning in our Pipe Clamps Guide.


My daily commute is filled with dozens of routine interactions. There's a certain comfort to the repetition of my daily walk to the office. Almost like a sitcom, the people I see and hear have become a regular cast of characters in my life.
From our friendly office security guard who remembers everybody's name, to the barista downstairs who knows just how strong to brew my coffee, this is my community.
It's also the scientists and entrepreneurs who fill the halls of my organization, the University City Science Center in Philadelphia.
1. Don't forget to say thanks.
Say thank you to that helpful angel investor who listened to your pitch -- and gave you feedback on how to improve it. Tell your friends and colleagues about the supportive IP attorney who helped you out pro bono.
2. Preserve your social life.
Don't neglect your social life. It's especially important for solopreneurs to take time out to network, attend events and meet the people embedded within the community. The random collisions that networking offers often spark collaboration and new ideas. And there's a certain hum to being part of a thriving innovation ecosystem.
Ask questions and learn what really matters to those in the community. As you do so, you may identify challenges you can solve together. Often, your first focus group or product beta testers are right in front of you. When the time is right, your network can act as a base of early adopters and endorsers. It can also serve as a hiring pool. A rite of passage for any rapidly-growing business is when the first community-based hire is made. It's a sign of true collaboration and emblematic of a larger, healthy environment for economic development.
4. Prepare to give back.
Look beyond the daily grind. As your company begins to find its footing, figure out how you can give back to the wider community. Can you join forces with other startups to volunteer for local causes or organize a food drive? How about mentoring a young person interested in entrepreneurship? Or taking the time to just listen to somebody who might not feel like they fit in?
That was a familiar feeling for me as an Asian-American growing up in Delaware during the 1970s. I've never forgotten it, but I have learned from it -- and paid it forward. Whenever I felt stuck in my life, I found people who needed me to listen to their disappointment of not belonging, or feeling just plain stuck.
In each case, I tried to listen carefully and help them out. You see, in the questions that I heard from each of them I found the answers to my own impasse in my career. It's proof positive that "If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else," so said the great Booker T. Washington. That's the virtuous circle of elevating others: On the quest to put the needs of others first and help people develop and perform to the best of their ability, I found the path to enlighten myself.
In my own experience, this artful, nuanced mentorship is invaluable to some smart kid or young adult who may be overwhelmed by seeming unfairness or can't see the bountiful opportunities ahead of her or him.
Please share your wisdom with that person and help inspire her or him with your experience. They may not always make the right decision, but it's important that for better or worse, they take ownership of those decisions. Our role as mentors is to guide, advise, and for me, to help them adopt the Science Center's adage of "succeeding… or failing, faster and cheaper." Whether they succeed or not, you would have done a great service to their time and efforts.
Ultimately, the unexpected highs and lows of a company's lifespan can be navigated with the right support infrastructure. So, take a second look at the nametag in front of you and save a seat on the bus for a new member of the community. The math is simple; these gestures will add up. Relationship capital is the foundation of investment capital. Spend freely -- and don't forget to tip your barista.


The Prophet is a book of 26 prose poetry fables written in English by the Lebanese-American artist, philosopher and writer Kahlil Gibran. Originally published in 1923, it is Gibran's best known work and has been translated into over 40 different languages.
Written in rhyme, this is a children book for all ages, telling the story of longing for a child who has gone on her way and left the old tree behind. The tree gives voice to love and loss, fear and hope, death and rebirth in a new form, as it is transformed first to pulp and then to paper, the very paper from which the child reads this story. Sensually told, it brings forth the sounds and smells of the forest.
Happy 30th birthday, Please Mrs Butler!

Q: How to change the colour of geometry material in SceneKit I have the following code
let planeGeometry = SCNPlane(width: 5, height: 3)
let planeNode = SCNNode(geometry: planeGeometry)
planeGeometry.firstMaterial?.diffuse.contents = Color(.blue)
planeGeometry.firstMaterial?.isDoubleSided = true
scene.rootNode.addChildNode(planeNode)

I tried applying colours in different ways like
let node = SCNNode()
let geometry = SCNBox(width: 3.0, height: 1, length: 1, chamferRadius: 0)
geometry.firstMaterial?.emission.contents = Color(hue: 10, saturation: 50, brightness: 10)
node.geometry = geometry;
scene.rootNode.addChildNode(node)

in an otherwise empty SceneKit project
it appears white no matter what

I'm following a tutorial which suggests that this is supposed to produce an identical result to building out the scene in the visual editor. However things appear as I would expect in the visual editor

A: The issue was that I didn't have lighting. When I added ambient light to the parent node the colours started changing. I didn't think I needed to because I had the default lighting flag enabled for the scene


HomeFeaturesRandomsSink or Swim? A man survives.
Sean O'Donoghue was 27 when he nearly drowned.
Over 100 feet below the surface of the water, in the black of the North Sea, water began to stream into Sean's diving helmet, slowly filling it up.
Sean was working as an air diver, whose job it was to do MRI scans on the side of oil rigs. He wore over 8,000 pounds of equipment underwater, but it was a tiny valve in his helmet which almost cost him his life.
When the mushroom valve inside his helmet popped out, Sean knew that he was in serious trouble. Water was leaking into his helmet, and there was no way to get it out.
Sean turned on his umbilical cable, determined to fight for his life. He pulled himself along the cord, one hand over the other, one foot at a time. After just managing to pull himself the 27 feet to his air-filled diving cage, Sean ripped off his helmet and sucked in the air, glad to be alive.
That was 30 years ago. And it was one of the main things that inspired him to start writing poetry. His book of poetry won the Public Speaker of the Year Award in North East Scotland in 1992.
While his poetry was well-received, it may never have been written at all had Sean not been forced to leave deep-sea diving. Poetry wasn't the only result from working on the oil rigs. Despite being diagnosed otherwise, Sean believes that his near-death experience on the oil rig left him with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It wasn't just his accident that haunted him though. The oil rig that he had nearly drowned under was Piper Alpha.
Sean was perhaps luckier than he realised to leave Piper Alpha alive. On June 6th 1988, the rig exploded. The resulting oil and gas fires claimed the lives of 167 men. In terms of lives lost, it's the worst oil rig disaster in history.
Sean then came back to Ireland, where he published his first collection of poems called Celtic Ripples. After five years, he went to live in Dublin, in a bedsit in Botanic Avenue. He was treated for bi-polar disorder, but maintains that the treatment did more harm than good.
After moving to Ballymun and switching medical teams, Sean has done much better and has stayed out of hospital since leaving Botanic Avenue.
It is a lot. And while it doesn't earn much for everyone, perhaps it should.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3' failed due to wrong casting, says Tigmanshu Dhulia
The director said he is currently working on his next and will soon make the announcement.
Pic Courtesy: Movie Still
Mumbai: Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia believes the third instalment of his "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster" franchise failed due to wrong casting.
The film franchise deals with betrayal, ambitions and greed at the backdrop of a royal family in Uttar Pradesh.
The series featured Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahie Gill as a royal couple, with a new gangster in each instalment.
The first two films featured Randeep Hooda and Irrfan Khan as the gangsters, while the third part, which released last year, had Sanjay Dutt playing the part.
The director said one of the reasons why the threequel failed to click with the audiences was that the core essence of the franchise was missing from it.
"We deviated from the original soul of 'Saheb Biwi aur Gangster'. That film was not balanced. There was Jimmy, Mahie and then Sanjay Dutt. So the balance was wrong," Tigmanshu told PTI.
Tigmanshu, however, said that the casting of Dutt was wrong from their end and it was not the fault of the star.
"I could not have changed the leads because they are in continuity, it is the gangster who always changes. It is not Sanjay's fault. The casting from our side was wrong."
The filmmaker is not deterred by the failure of the third part and would continue to take the franchise forward.
"I will return to the franchise for sure. Just because the last one didn't work, it does not mean that it will be shelved. I have kind of learnt from my mistakes."

'Avengers: Endgame' is a fitting end: Director


The Supreme Court's decision in the case is both a win and a loss for the respondent, says Nikolas Blanchette, a partner at Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP in Montreal.
In the first such Quebec case to be decided by the Supreme Court of Canada, a landowner's bylaw challenge was found to be prescribed by a time limitation, but the court has allowed the case to continue in Quebec's Superior Court on the unresolved claims, including for an indemnity of disguised expropriation.
In Ville de Lorraine et al. v. 2646-8926 Québec inc., the Supreme Court overturned a Quebec Court of Appeal ruling that found inoperable municipal bylaws that changed the zoning of land in order to create a conservation zone on land owned by the respondent, who had waited some years to challenge the bylaw.
"The alleged abuse of [municipal] power did not have the effect of relieving the plaintiff of its duty of diligence, that is, the requirement that the plaintiff institute its action within a reasonable time," Chief Justice Richard Wagner wrote on behalf of the court.
On July 7, 1989, the respondent 2646-8926 Québec inc. paid $1,286,000 to purchase land in a residential zone of the appellant town of Lorraine. In 1991, the town passed a bylaw (bylaw U-91, replaced in 2010 by bylaw URB-03) that changed the zoning for 60 per cent of the respondent's land in order to create a conservation zone, thereby preventing any residential development on that part of the land. In late 2001 or early 2002, the respondent's majority shareholder learned of the bylaw and discovered that the appellant had established infrastructures for hiking and cross-country skiing on part of its land.
After contacting the town of Lorraine, which refused to amend its bylaw, the respondent brought an action in nullity against the bylaw in November 2007, seeking damages and the removal of the infrastructures. It also brought an action in nullity against bylaw 10-02 of the appellant regional county municipality of Thérèse-De Blainville, which implemented a development plan that also changed the zoning for the respondent's land.
In the Superior Court of Quebec, Justice Benoît Emery ruled in favour of the municipalities in July 2015, citing in part the delay in the respondent bringing the case to court; but his decision was overturned by the Court of Appeal of Quebec in November 2016.
The Supreme Court's decision in the case is both a win and a loss for the respondent, says Nikolas Blanchette, a partner in Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP in Montreal who acted for an intervener in the case, the Québec Association of Construction and Housing Professionals Inc.
"There are many ongoing cases regarding expropriation" of land in Quebec under similar circumstances, Blanchette told Legal Feeds. "So we see [this Supreme Court decision] as an opening." First, there is a recognition that there are two remedies for landowners in such cases, he says; the first is that they can bring an action for nullity of a bylaw that has the effect of infringing on the development of their land within a reasonable time frame; and second, the decision has confirmed that there is "an opening to seek an indemnity for expropriation," through the award of damages to landowners for loss of land use.
The Supreme Court referred several times in its decision to a leading Quebec case, Benjamin c. Montréal (Ville), 2003 CanLII 33374. In that case, the Quebec Court of Appeal held that, even though the plaintiff had not brought a direct action in nullity to remedy the alleged disguised expropriation of his property, it was open to him to bring an action to claim an indemnity. That was confirmed in today's decision in Ville de Lorraine.
"Even where a plaintiff no longer meets the conditions for applying for judicial review, he or she still has the right, in appropriate cases and if the claim is supported by the evidence, to seek payment of an indemnity for disguised expropriation," Wagner wrote.


The Kawasaki Ninja 250r is the ultimate starter motorcycle for a new rider. It's nimble, dritë, and gets great gas milage. Although the look of it may be a bit 'aged' compared to some of the newer style of 600cc motorcycles, I personally think that the bike holds its own aesthetically. especially the 2007 black color scheme.
UPDATE: Be sure to check out the 2008 kawasaki ninja 250 rishikim. The new version of the bike rocks!
This Ninja is powered by a 248cc, 4-goditje, twin paralele, DOHC, engine that puts out quite a bit of power for being just under 250cc's. It can run the 1/4 mile in 14.6 seconds at 88mph which isn't as fast as other larger displacement bikes, but I think this is more than enough for the real world. For comparison the 2003 Acura 3.2CL Type-S will run the quarter mile in 14.9 sekonda, so as you can see this little ninja can beat a lot of imports off the line.
The 250R can hit 60mph in 5.75 sekonda, which is just as fast as the the 2002 Subaru ImprezaWRX which can hit 60mph in 5.7 sekonda. Although I don't recommend drag racing, this little ninja is no slouch!
Something that makes this motorcycle really fun is its 14,000 rpm Redline; it's a real screamer when you take it on the highway! The ninja really loves being wound up to 9,000 RPMs, and at around 10,000 you can really feel it start to grip the asphalt. Even though this motorcycle is fully faired (meaning it is covered by plastic sides to protect agains the wind), the motorcycle is so light that you will get blown around quite a bit at 65mph, and even more at 80 mph or 90 mph.
Finally the best thing about the Ninja 250, in my opinion, is how inexpensive it is to own and maintain. There is a myth that motorcycles are much cheaper to ride than buying a car. This may be true for the initial purchase (with the average 600cc motorcycle being less than $10,000 and your average car being over $15,000) but once you add in tires, mirëmbajtje, motorcycle gear, insurance etc. the price of riding a motorcycle quickly climbs to much more than a car.
The type of motorcycles that started this myth were most likely bikes just like the Ninja 250. Not only is it cheap to buy (at around $3,000 ri markë), but it also gets as much as 60 milje në gallon! The reliability of the Ninja is simply fantastic and will continue to run tens of thousands of miles with just oil changes and new tires.
Even if you do run into some trouble, Ninja 250 has had few mechanical adjustments since the late 80's; which means that parts for this motorcycle are EVERYWHERE!
Gets about 50 milje per gallon!

Warming up can improve your level of performance before training or competition. Research suggests that the use of dynamic stretches, slow controlled movements through the full range of motion are the most appropriate exercises for the warm-up. A proper warm-up increases the blood flow to the working muscle, decreases muscle stiffness, reduces the risk of injury and improves performance.
When you start your warm-up, you want to ease into it and then speed it up. To limit the chance of injuries, you shouldn't begin your warm-up with an all out burst. Let the body slow movements that progress in difficulty and intensity. This will allow your core body temperature to increase and ensures that you're not heightening your chances of getting hurt.

You want to increase your performance, make it a priority to excite the nervous system during your warm-up. This can be achieved with moves that require greater coordination such as plyometric exercises. Of course, after you have progressed through your warm up, when your body is ready to go.
Now that you know how to prep for your workout, you should prepare your mind for how long it will take. Warm ups can take up to 10-20 minutes, depending on your body. This may feel like a workout by itself but it can prevent the chances of injuries. Proper warm-ups can help you generate more force and train harder for longer.
