Every student has a future worth investing in.
While society has changed dramatically over the last 50 years, our school system has remained largely the same. Like an old house that hasn't been updated for the times, education in the United States is out of date. Every student has a future worth investing in and our system currently isn't fulfilling that purpose. That's why Future Focused Education has made it our mission to advance the best education for the students who need it the most. By remodeling education from the community up, we can re-engage students and prepare them for life in the 21st century – because the future health and prosperity of our society demand something different.
We focus on serving the students who have not been successful in traditional school settings. We know that these teenagers are more likely to make choices that can foreclose on their future. As obstacles to academic success increase, students turn to low-wage, low-skill jobs to help support themselves and their families rather than participating in activities that could open the door to a more prosperous future. For these students, the tradeoff between meeting short-term family obligations and long-term career preparation often comes down to an economic imperative where today's needs overshadow tomorrow's opportunities.
Future Focused Education is working to eliminate this tradeoff by transforming education and schools so they are responsive to the realities faced by many students and can connect students to college and career.
"This forward-thinking organization recognizes that the future prosperity of our society demands something different for K-12 education. Today's students need to develop as whole human beings, which means culture, local contexts and community are critical components of learning environments, as are justice, health and wellness, and college and career readiness."

Q: Getting total word count from a string series in a Pandas Data Frame I have a 2-column Pandas data frame composed of tweets: the second column is the tweets themselves. I want to get a word count of all the tweets together.
Data Frame looks like so:
RT @PaulHaleAndMom: Four Hours After #Piedmont...
RT @NatPoliceAssoc: Body camera video shows At...
RT @XLNB: When Spanish Drake and Jamaican Drak...
 I almost cried this morning. My babies are ...
@SebastianDanzig Hey Bassy are tickets and VIP...

The following is giving me the count by row.
wc_DF = tweets_DF['text'].apply(lambda x: Counter(x.lower().split()))

i.e.
{'rt': 1, '@paulhaleandmom:': 1, 'four': 1, 'h...

What would be a good vectorized implementation in Pandas be for this?

A: Another solution if you want to stay in pandas assuming your string Series is referenced as tweets_DF['text']:
words = tweets_DF['text'].str.split()
word_counts = pd.value_counts(words.apply(pd.Series).stack())

words will be a Series of lists and you can convert to a DataFrame by running apply over the Series with the Series constructor. After that you can convert back into a (multi-indexed) Series containing each word as its value using stack(). Finally you can use value_counts(..) to count the observations returning a Series indexed on the word and counts as the values.

A: Use sum and Counter
c = [ "RT @PaulHaleAndMom: Four Hours After #Piedmont...", "RT @NatPoliceAssoc: Body camera video shows At...","RT @XLNB: When Spanish Drake and Jamaican Drak..."]
from collections import Counter
Counter(pd.Series(c).str.split().sum())

Counter({'RT': 3,
         '@PaulHaleAndMom:': 1,
         'Four': 1,
         'Hours': 1,
         'After': 1,
         '#Piedmont...': 1,
         '@NatPoliceAssoc:': 1,
         'Body': 1,
         'camera': 1,
         'video': 1,
         'shows': 1,
         'At...': 1,
         '@XLNB:': 1,
         'When': 1,
         'Spanish': 1,
         'Drake': 1,
         'and': 1,

Presidential Candidate Rick Perry Open To Send US Military To Kill Drug Cartels IN MEXICO
October 3, 2011 by Infinite
– Rick Perry says U.S. troops may needed in Mexico to fight war against drug cartels (Daily Mail, Oct. 2, 2011):
Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry has said that he is open to sending American troops to Mexico to help battle drug cartels.
Mr Perry, the Texas governor, likened the situation to Colombia, where the government accepted American military support in battling drug trafficking.
Mexico's government, however, has been opposed to foreign forces in its territory.
Mr Perry said the current violence may require similar military action.
'The way that we were able to stop the drug cartels in Colombia was with a coordinated effort,' Mr Perry said.
'It may require our military in Mexico working in concert with them to kill these drug cartels and to keep them off of our border and to destroy their networks.
'I don't know all the scenarios that are out there but I think it is very important that we work with them, to keep that country from failing.'
Mr Perry's comments came at a Saturday afternoon reception at the home of New Hampshire Republican gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontagne.
Mr Perry often has called for more National Guard troops to help protect the Mexican border and stem the flow of illegal immigration.
But Saturday's comments go further. They indicate he's open to deepening America's military involvement across the border.
A spokesman later clarified that Perry is open to all options to cooperate with Mexico.

Damnation 2017: Who To Watch
Other » terrorizer » Damnation 2017: Who To Watch
Posted date: 2017-11-03 11:17:45
Damnation Festival is great, isn't it? It's kind of like the UK metal contingent's equivalent of Christmas: it's the end of the year, you get to let your hair down with a load of good friends and family you haven't seen in ages, a heroic quantity of booze is consumed… The only difference is, instead […] The post Damnation 2017: Who To Watch appeared first on Terrorizer.
Damnation Festival is great, isn't it? It's kind of like the UK metal contingent's equivalent of Christmas: it's the end of the year, you get to let your hair down with a load of good friends and family you haven't seen in ages, a heroic quantity of booze is consumed… The only difference is, instead of sitting round a tree and unwrapping pairs of novelty socks, you get to watch Sodom unleashing chaos in Leeds University Union. And to continue this slightly ill-advised analogy, Damnation's present satchel is in danger of bursting at the seams this year, with one of the best lineups in the festival's illustrious history.
It's so good, in fact, that it's perhaps a little daunting: with so much brilliant music on offer, it's difficult to decide which stage is most deserving of your tinnitus addled eardrums. Of course, the upside to having such an ace lineup is that you can't really go wrong, either – you're pretty much guaranteed to get your fill of riffs wherever you end up, especially if you make it along to the pre-show tonight with Barrabus, Immortal Bird, Dawn Ray'd and more too.
Nevertheless, here are a few bands that we've deemed "unmissable", so make sure you're not queuing for a burger or passed out in the smoking area when these heavy-hitters take the stage…
Jägermeister Stage, 14:35PM
Presenting cavernous arrangements steeped in sorrowful melody, Arkansas quartet Pallbearer bring a fresh accessability to doom metal. This year's majestic 'Heartless' opus has marked the band out as one of the genre's most important acts of the last decade. Combining tectonic plate shifting riffs with accessible progressive melodies, sublime melancholy awaits you. [Ross Baker]
MYRKUR
Myrkur has seen Amalie Bruun has gone from underground phenomenon to cult black metal heroine. Exceptional sophomore release 'Mareridt' ('Nightmare' in English) has seen an increase in the use of soaring classical arrangements and icy Nordic folk coupled with scathing black metal. This transcendent and emotive ritual will leave you breathless. [Ross Baker]
DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT
Terrorizer Stage, 16:45
This mysterious UK black/death squad have always provided an intense stage show, but their relentless touring schedule as of late has seen them up their game even further, becoming a truly formidable live unit in their own right. Come for the strobe lights, dry ice and candelabras; stay for some of the most intense, visceral extreme metal you've ever heard. [Kez Whelan]
Patrick Walker is the expert when it comes to mixing crushingly heavy riffs with lyrics so painfully beautiful they make your soul ache. Prepare to be misty eyed as Warning play the Jägermeister Stage, knowing you're in the presence of one of the most influential UK doom bands of our generation. [Angela Davey]
Terrorizer Stage, 18:20PM
The collective disappointment when Nails cancelled their appearance at last year's festival ran like a shockwave through all in attendance. However, they're back this year to blast the faces off of everyone on the Terrorizer Stage – how's that for making it up to everyone?! Prepare your body and eardrums for a full sonic assault. [Angela Davey]
The godfathers of gothic doom and Damnation veterans, Paradise Lost, return once again this year to bring their gloom to the Jägermeister stage. With almost 30 years of material to choose from it's difficult to decide what we want to hear in their set list. Guaranteed after a few beers we'll be at the front screaming for 'Forever Failure'! [Angela Davey]
Whether you prefer getting stuck into that pit, banging your head or just standing there in slack-jawed amazement at vocalist/guitarist John Gallagher's lightspeed fretting hand, there's no denying that Dying Fetus are one of the most fun live acts in death metal, and we can't wait to hear cuts from 'Wrong One To Fuck With' blasting out of the Terrorizer Stage's PA. [Kez Whelan]
One of the biggest draws this year has to be the promise of one of grind legends Agoraphobic Nosebleed's first ever UK shows. After devastating events like Netherlands Deathfest and Hellfest with varied, career-spanning setlists and more energy than a nuclear powered dynamo, you can expect this to be very fast, very loud and very, very fucking good indeed. [Kez Whelan]
Extreme supergroup Bloodbath sees Paradise Lost frontman Nick Holmes pulling double duty in what promises to be a rare and memorable outing. Also featuring members of Opeth and Katatonia, this brutal Swedish/British outfit promises tales of cannibalism and necromancy wrapped up in raw, blasphemous death metal, crushing all in its path. [Ross Baker]
Damnation kicks off tomorrow at 13:00 at Leeds University Union

Top 10 Music-Festival Moments
Can't make it to Texas to see one of the 1,700 bands performing at the 2010 SXSW festival? You can console yourself with this list of the 10 most famous — and infamous — moments in music-festival history.
Bob Dylan at the Newport
Folk Festival — 1965
By Dan Fletcher March 17, 2009
Bob Dylan had only just gained national renown as a folksinger when his 1965 release Bringing It All Back Homeeschewed his roots by using electric guitar in half the tracks. In that spirit, Dylan's performance at July '65's Newport Folk Festival incorporated a backing blues band and electric guitar.
The audience did not dig it, man. He drew vigorous boos and left after only four songs, only to be coaxed back onstage for a disjointed acoustic set. (Longstanding rumors that Pete Seeger tried to cut the sound system with an ax turned out to be untrue.) Dylan didn't return to Newport until 2002, when he was able to bring his electric guitar back without fear.

Wisconsin County Forests are governed by the County Forest Law, state statute 28.10 & 28.11, which requires they be managed for forestry purposes—including multiple uses such as recreation, wildlife habitat, and watershed protection. Fulfilling that statutory directive is the task of professional Forest Administrators who are accountable to county residents through their County Boards.
These foresters have access to assistance from the Department of Natural Resources and the University of Wisconsin System. They also work cooperatively with the U. S. Forest Service, the U. S. National Park Service, forest-based industries, and many private conservation and recreation groups. As a means of sharing insights, successes, common issues and opportunities, County Board members and Forest Administrators have created their own forum, The Wisconsin County Forest Association, Inc.

phosphorus and life
Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient for aquatic organisms. Phosphorus is critical for life as we know it. The primary driver of freshwater eutrophication and algal blooms, phosphorus also contributes to coastal dead zones where most marine life dies or flees. The other two are nitrogen and potassium. Phosphorus, which constitutes only about 0.1% of Earth's crust, is much more abundant in ores than nitrogen. abundant aquatic life that are self-sustaining and support various water uses. Without the phosphates in biological molecules such as ATP, ADP and DNA, we would not be alive. More than 90% of inorganic phosphorus can be absorbed by the body. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur were reported in previous studies by the COSIMA team from e.g. It is also one of the three essential nutrients for plant growth. White phosphorus has also found a wide range of other uses. Humans and animals obtain phosphorus … On the other hand, a decrease in phosphorus concentration will deprive aquatic animals of the nutrient, limiting their growth. When these are washed away into the nearby water bodies, they are hazardous to aquatic life. Phosphorus (P) is an essential part of life as we know it. Consequently, no model of the emergence of life can be considered complete unless it offers insights into how phosphorus came to occupy the position it does in the chemical process of living. Phosphorus is key to vegetal development and life. Phosphorus is one of the vital nutrient that is needed for life to continue. All life needs phosphorus and agricultural yields are improved when phosphorus is added to growing plants and the diet of livestock. Phosphorus additives (chemical phosphorus) in foods can be found in the ingredients list on a food label: Dicalcium phosphate; Disodium phosphate; Monosodium phosphate "Phosphorus is the least abundant element cosmically relative to its presence in biology," says Matthew Pasek of the University of South Florida. It enables the normal functioning of every cell in our bodies, and to make things like bones, teeth and shells. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for all life forms. Phosphorus is a chemical element found on Earth in numerous compound forms, such as the phosphate ion (PO43-), located in water, soil and sediments. Phosphorus does enter the atmosphere in very small amounts when the dust is dissolved in rainwater and seaspray but remains mostly on land and in rock and soil minerals. Together, these results suggest that the ability to locate, obtain, and retain dietary phosphorus positively influences cricket life history traits. Phosphorylation under plausible prebiotic conditions continues to be one of the defining issues for the role of phosphorus in the origins of life processes. In fact, we consume it in nearly all of the foods we eat. Its melting point is 111.38 °F (44.1 °C), while its boiling point is 536.9 °F (280 °C). Animals absorb phosphates by eating plants or plant-eating animals. The new low phosphorus diet primarily focuses on avoiding artificial phosphorus. Like aluminum and silicon, phosphorus is always found in combination with oxygen, and large inputs of energy are required to isolate it. This is the first time that life-necessary CHNOPS elements are found in solid cometary matter. Phosphorus is a key element in all known forms of life. It is essential for the creation of DNA, cell membranes, and for bone and teeth formation in humans. Rivers connect our terrestrial landscape with downstream Researchers have detected phosphorus on a comet – thereby completing the grocery list of elements that are essential for life. ... killing fish and other aquatic life. This created a whole new industry of cheap lights - but at a terrible cost. It is also one of the most common substances in your everyday environment and in your body. Of these, phosphorus is the rarest on Earth, making it the limiting ingredient for the chemical reactions of life. Phosphorus forms parts of important life-sustaining molecules that are very common in the biosphere. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants and animals.However, excessive phosphorus in surface water can cause explosive growth of aquatic plants and algae. In this review, we cover the reactions of alternative forms of phosphate, specifically the nitrogenous versions of phosphate (and other forms of reduced phosphorus species) from a prebiotic, synthetic organic and biochemistry perspective. For the first time, phosphorus, a key ingredient of life, has been pinpointed in a cloud of gas and dust surrounding a newborn star. organic molecules. Buy Phosphorus and life(Chinese Edition) by ZHAO YU FEN (ISBN: 9787811066005) from Amazon's Book Store. The quantities of phosphorus in soil are generally small, and this often limits plant growth. Sources Food sources. It has been suggested as a remote possibility. Phosphorus additives are used in adding color, improving flavor and increasing the shelf life of processed foods. Phosphorus is a non-negotiable requirement for life. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. The phosphorus fertilizers increase the level of phosphorus in the soil. Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for all life forms and is stored primarily in soil and sediment. Phosphorus is found in most food because it is a critical constituent of all living organisms. However, elevated phosphorus concentrations can adversely affect aquatic ecosystems (Chambers et al. ... A less restrictive diet helps people enjoy food (and life!) Phosphorus compounds can also be found in the minerals in our bones and teeth. In its orthophosphate form, phosphate forms the backbone of genetic molecules, and is the energy currency of nearly all metabolism. It is required by humans and plants to perform various life functions. High phosphorus diets were also implicated in adult body size (interaction with weight at start of the experiment; Table 1, 3). Phosphorus, a 5A element with atomic weight of 31, comprises just over 0.6% of the composition by weight of plants and animals. Phosphorus is a mineral found in many foods like beer, cheese, beans, and fish. What is phosphorus? Phosphorus Basics – The Phosphorus Cycle Agronomy Fact Sheet Series Department of Crop and Soil Sciences 1 College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Phosphorus, Crops and the Environment This agronomy fact sheet provides a brief overview of the important components of the phosphorus … Overuse of these fertilizers reduces the fertility of the soil and is also harmful to the microorganisms present in the soil. Phosphorus is one of the three main nutrients for plants. In its elemental form, phosphorus is basically a non-metal, with a density of 1.82 g/cm 3 and atomic mass of 30.973762 ± 0.000002 u. Breathing in phosphorus vapour led to the industrial disease phossy jaw, which slowly ate away the jaw bone. Three isotopes are available for studying phosphorus metabolism and kinetics. One of these was in phosphorus matches that were first sold in Stockton-on-Tees in the UK in 1827. An increase in the concentration of phosphorus will considerably boost the growth of algae within that ecosystem, causing a decline of oxygen content in the water, and thus major loss of aquatic life. Phosphorus is an essential constituent of the fabric of all life. In most people, simply avoiding artificial phosphorus results in healthy phosphorus levels. That is why people often apply phosphate fertilisers on farmland. 2001). Plants and Animals require phosphorus for their survival. This scarcity of phosphorus is even more acute on the Earth's surface, where much of the phosphorus is locked up in certain minerals that life has difficulty making use of. This can lead to a variety of water-quality problems, including low dissolved oxygen concentrations, which can cause fish kills and harm other aquatic life. The cell membrane serves as a regulator of endocytosis or exocytosis of a cell and mainly consists of phospholipid bilayer. It is a necessary part of our diet. Consequently, it is used globally as a fertilizer — and plays an important role in meeting the world's food requirements. It's the backbone of DNA and the P in ATP—the molecule that carries energy around cells.

Media Could Learn a Lesson on School Choice in Wegmans Mania
by Jon Sanders
Director of the Center for Food, Power, and Life, Research Editor | John Locke Foundation
It's hard to imagine, but did you know that regular people can get as excited about new choices as Raleigh media get about new grocery store options? It's true.
I know, I know, that's saying a lot, when you consider how excited Raleigh media have been to have new grocery options. Daily stories, inside looks, interviews with enthusiastic soon-to-be patrons, progress updates, you name it:
"As Wegmans comes to Raleigh, new employees train at the 'magical, mystical' grocery store" — WRAL, August 7
"Weaver Street Market ready to celebrate downtown Raleigh opening" — WRAL, Sept. 19
"Residents excited as 1st grocery store opens in downtown Raleigh" — WNCN, Sept. 21
"SNEAK PEEK: CBS 17 checks out Raleigh's first Wegmans" — WNCN, Sept. 21
"Downtown Raleigh's first grocery store, Weaver Street Market, opens this weekend" — WTVD, Sept 23
"Welcome to Wegmans: 'Bigger than Black Friday'" — The News & Observer, Sept. 24
"First look: Go inside Raleigh's new Wegmans store ahead of Sunday grand opening" —WTVD, Sept. 26
"The wait is almost over: North Carolina's first Wegmans grocery store to open in Raleigh this weekend" — WTVD, Sept. 26
"It's about to get real, grocery shoppers. Wegmans opens Sunday, and we looked inside." — The News & Observer, Sept. 27
Do you know what hardly registered? How much unfair hardship this new competition could place on the existing options. That thought never even occurred to reporters or editors. So we didn't receive a flood of stories about how upstart new competition threatened to take customers and siphon money away from established stores that have been serving us so well.
If you drain money away from our stores, they will lose the ability to serve their remaining customers as well. This is bad, and we shouldn't allow it! That's something else readers weren't getting from these reports, for obvious reasons.
We also weren't given fatuous fantasies about inferred racism or white flight to the new options either. No, the media are foursquare in agreement with consumers that more choice is a good thing. In grocery stores.
You'd think they could apply that simple insight into other things, such as schools.
Instead we get editorials about how "School choice is not the answer" (as if there is only one answer suitable for every family), how "we don't need any more" choice, how your family having choice has a "negative impact" on others, how charter schools and Opportunity Scholarships "siphon money away" from public schools, arguments from the presumption that the schools are the top priority, not the students, and worse, arguments impugning in grossest terms the motives of families and legislators serving students' interests more fully.
There's no "Residents excited," no "SNEAK PEEK," no "The wait is almost over," and certainly no "magical, mystical" or "It's about to get real" breathlessness. Media's focus is strangely elsewhere.
For genuine excitement and happiness over discovering more options than the single thou-shalt-attend public school dictated to parents, you'd have to ask the parents. Watch parent's stories about Opportunity Scholarships. Read what it's like to wait and hope your children win the entrance lottery for entry into one of the limited charter-school options.
Let the realization dawn that a lottery is necessary because there are more families wanting to enroll in these new choices than there are spots available. (How's that for "bigger than Black Friday!") For them, even more options would be welcome.
Yes, some families in North Carolina can get about as excited for a new choice in school as Raleigh media are about Wegmans. Believe it or not!

Pericardiectomy is a surgery to remove part or all of the sac around the heart. This lets the heart move more freely.
Talk with your healthcare provider how to get ready for your surgery. You may need to stop taking some medicines before the surgery, such as blood thinners and aspirin.
Hair in the area of the surgery may be removed.
The healthcare provider team will watch your vital signs, like your heart rate and blood pressure, during the surgery.
Different types of procedures may be done. The surgeon may make a vertical incision along the breastbone. This incision will be several inches long. To reach the heart, the surgeon will separate the breastbone.
Or the surgeon may make an incision between the ribs to reach the pericardium.
Or the surgeon will make several smaller incisions on the side of the chest. A small camera and tools are inserted through these small incisions to do the surgery.
The surgeon removes some or all of the pericardium.
The surgeon may make other repairs to the heart if needed.
He or she closes all incisions using stitches, staples, or both. He or she puts dressings on the incisions.
After surgery, you will be taken to a recovery room or to the intensive care unit. Nurses will check your breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. You may have a tube draining fluid from your chest. The drained fluid may be sent to a lab for analysis. You may stay in the hospital for a few days.
You may have some pain at the incision sites after surgery. You can take pain medicines to help relieve it. Only take pain medicine approved by your healthcare provider.
You might have some fluid leaking from your incision. This is normal. Let your doctor know right away if you see an increase in redness, swelling, or fluid from your incision.
Your original heart symptoms may go away quickly after your surgery.
You can go back to your normal food as soon as you feel able. When you go home, you should be able to resume normal activities. Avoid vigorous exercise until your doctor says you are ready. Don't lift anything heavy until your doctor says it's OK.
Follow up with your healthcare provider, or as advised. You will probably have your stitches or staples removed in 7 to 10 days. Make sure you keep all of your follow-up appointments. Follow all the instructions your healthcare provider gives you for medicines, exercise, diet, and wound care.


California's winemakers are feeling the impact of China's recently announced tariff on U.S. wines as a retaliatory measure against the Trump administration's proposed tariffs on China's steel and aluminum.
Wente Vineyards, a winery in Livermore, California, recently ran into a major hurdle after 23 years of exporting to China. The oldest continuously operating family winery in the U.S. suspended the shipment of 5,000 cases of wine to China because of the uncertainties arising from the trade tariff fight.
"We are disappointed that California's wine business has become collateral damage for a bigger picture that wine has nothing to do with," said Michael Parr, vice-president of international sales for the vintner Wente Family Estates.
Some of the cases of wine originally destined for China have been prepared for shipment and are awaiting further instructions from Chinese importers. Other cases will be used to fill wine orders to Europe, said Parr.
Chinese importers are holding off because of the uncertainty of how long the tariff would be in effect and potential backlash from Chinese consumers, he said.
The 15 percent added tariff on U.S. wines, announced on April 2, would increase the total tariff and tax paid on a bottle of U.S. wine imported to China from 48.2 percent to 67.7 percent.
Despite the short-term negative effects, U.S. winemakers are more concerned about the long-term impact.
"My biggest fear is the importers have alternative countries that they can buy from. There are wine regions in the world that are lined up to take advantage of this," said Parr. His winery saw 80 percent year-on-year growth in the Chinese market in the first quarter of this year.
Wines from Chile, Georgia and New Zealand currently enter China tariff-free and pay only the 30 percent combined tax rate. Australian wines will be tariff-free starting in 2019, according to the California Wine Institute, an advocacy group representing over 1,000 wineries.
Parr said California wine can compete against Australian wine in price and quality. "But with 67 percent (tariffs) on our wines, we can't compete with that," he said.
New tariffs target 128 U.S. commodities, most of them on agricultural products produced in California. The state's farm industries have been urging the Trump administration to start negotiations with China.
"California's wine grape growers believe negotiation offers the best path toward resolving disputes with our trade partners," said John Aguirre, president of California Association of Winegrape Growers.
"At this point, we urge members of the California congressional delegation and other farm state representatives and senators throughout the United States to step up their efforts and urge President Trump to quickly resolve the current trade dispute with China," he said.
Parr said the timing is perfect to go into China now. "What the Chinese consumers want is affordable luxury and brand authenticity. That's exactly the positioning of Wente's wines in China," he said.
"We are committed to the market. We trust the leaders of China and the U.S. will eventually, after all the rhetoric, be able to sit down and come up with a win-win resolution," said Parr.

NEW KIA SORENTO DETAILED
By Ewan Kennedy Mar 19, 2020 Apr 7, 2020 Kia, News
Kia has provided extensive details of its Sorento SUV that's coming to Australia in several stages from June this year.
It's bang up to date, being the first vehicle to be based on Kia's new-generation 'N3' midsize SUV platform. It will be Kia's most high-tech car ever, thanks to its progressive connectivity, driver assistance and infotainment technologies.
The front of the Sorento evolves with a new interpretation of Kia's hallmark 'tiger nose' grille, displaying a wider shape that wraps around the integrated headlamps. The headlamps themselves feature a new 'tiger eye' LED daytime running light.
It is 10 mm longer than its predecessor (now 4810 mm), but has shorter front and rear overhangs. The additional length is found in the wheelbase which has grown by 35 mm to 2815 mm. Height is up by 10 mm.
The cabin introduces a next-generation design based around twin digital displays in the dashboard. The 12.3-inch digital driver instrument cluster is twinned with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation system at the centre of the dashboard.
Upmarket features in the higher grade models includes a Mood Lighting system that emits soft ambient downlighting from beneath the dashboard and door trim.
For passengers, the new platform maximises space in all three rows, offering more head-, leg- and shoulder-room. In particular, there's significantly more legroom for first- and second-row occupants. There's also added headroom for third-row passengers.
Aided by the platform's longer wheelbase, the second-row seats now slide up to 45 mm further, creating a wider point of entry to the third row with more space for feet and legs.
New for the fourth generation, the latest Sorento model offers enhanced all-terrain capability thanks to a new Terrain Mode. Paired with the optional all-wheel drive system, Terrain Mode makes the Sorento more capable than the superset model in mud, snow and sand.
The infotainment system also allows Bluetooth smartphone pairing for two phones concurrently, enabling separate phones to be used for, for instance, phone calls and music, while front passengers can also plug in their mobile devices via two USB chargers.
Two USB charging sockets are integrated into the backs of the two front seats, with a third found at the rear of the front-row centre console. Both third-row passengers also have their own charging points, meaning all seven passengers can keep their mobile device charged.
Kia's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is comprehensive. Depending on specification, it includes Kia's latest Forward Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA) technology with pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle detection. This also detects oncoming traffic when making a turn at a junction.
The Sorento is fitted with up to seven airbags (dual front airbags, dual front seat-mounted side airbags, side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, and front centre airbag). The front-centre airbag is clever in that it prevents the driver and front passengers heads coming into contact during a collision.
Australian sales of diesel models will commence in June while the petrol models will be available in the fourth quarter of this year.
As with all Kia models new Sorento will be covered by the 7-year unlimited kilometre warranty, 7-year capped price service and 7-year roadside assist.

EU laws have not enforced anygame that use Xigncode over there to be removed from their games.
Don't you mean "No-one has yet enforced the EU laws in such a way that companies have to remove Xigncode from their games"?
Also, since Xigncode being put into the NA build came after 26th May, you're looking at putting something in, not removing it.
Well I've been with out a pc since the patch as the damn things bricked my SSD. On my 3rd attempt to log in after patch( numerous memory errors, followed by a BSOD half way through the Xigncod3 launch bar) my SSD refuses to recognize and my pc says no boot device. The pc ran fine with no issues for years, suddenly I update tera with the new malware and bam no pc. Can't even diagnose it right now. Now I've got to waste money I dont have on another hard drive. So pissed off with eme/bhs right now. Most likely won't be reinstalling Tera until they remove this crap.
If theres ever a class action lawsuit that is successful against XIGNCODE, you should be entitled to some money to replaced the damaged ssd hardware. Unfortunately single individuals attempt at a lawsuit is impossible, the cost alone for 1 hr of legal advice would cost you more than an SSD would.
1. Xigncode3 does not stop the majority of cheats or illegal programs.
2a. Xigncode3 does cause issues on many, but not all, machines.
2b. These issues can range from minor lag or fps drops to inability to run the game, and, in some cases, damage or corruption of the operating system.
In my hopes to ease my concerns about Xigncode3, I went to Wellbia's website, and took a look at the Terms of Service (ToS). However, what I found does not inspire trust in Wellbia or Xigncode. The ToS is full of evasive and non-specific language that holds little or no legal meaning.
For example, the ToS claims that "XIGNCODE3 never shares, rents, or sells the user information arbitrarily and never collects the information which can distinguish an individual.", but then later states that "XIGNCODE3 provides the illegal activity detected information such as Date, User Name, IP, Hack Tool Name, and etc." Firstly, I find it hard to believe that User Name and IP would not be considered information to distinguish individuals. Secondly, the ending, "and etc.", means that there is further, undisclosed information being provided. Thirdly, the phrasing "XIGNCODE3 never shares, rents, or sells the user information arbitrarily", would be much more comforting if it ended one word earlier. They can sell your information, as long as they don't do it "arbitrarily". I am not claiming that XIGNCODE3 or Wellbia collect, sell, or otherwise distribute user information. What I am claiming, is that there is nothing in the ToS preventing them from doing exactly that, and that worries me.
Even if we assume that XIGNCODE3 is nothing more than the anti-cheat it claims to be, there are still issues. XIGNCODE3 was supposedly introduced to NA Tera to improve player experience, and from what I have seen and read, XIGNCODE3 has done little to improve gameplay experience, and a lot to worsen it.
"I'm going to close this thread and ask that if you want to have a productive conversation about the situation at hand, I and my teammates are happy to talk, but where this thread is going, I'm not allowing this to go any further.
I am not blaming KitTeaCup, SeanDynamite, or any other EME employee. They have jobs, and rules they need to follow. I am, however, concerned about the behavior of EME and/or BHS. We do not have a right to tell them how to run their game, but I feel as if we should be provided with information. Regardless of your opinions on XIGNCODE3, I think most people would agree that a substantial portion of the community has concerns that have been unaddressed. I sincerely hope that I am proven wrong, and that EME releases an informative post addressing this issue, but as of yet, that has not happened.
Again, I am not blaming anyone, and I'm not saying that there is some sort of conspiracy. All I am saying is that there is a problem that has not been properly addressed.
I currently don't believe EMEs xigncode version is a rootkit. It does sound like it may be touching things it really shouldn't be in the name of anti-cheat, though. This is why I wonder if it would be possible to box it in to a regular non-admin account. Doing so may solve some of the stability problems since the host system would be better protected from it than if it was running as admin.
Can anyone confirm whether or not xigncode needs to be running as admin on a windows system?
It's a kernel level inject, so it automatically has administrative rights.
I thought it has been pretty much confirmed that that wasn't the case for EME's xigncode, though. Does anyone have info on this in regard to EME's version? I thought it was pretty much self contained to the game directory install wise and not mucking around with the kernel.
And look on the forums. There are a few threads of people complaining about the TERA.exe process mashing through disks on which the TERA installation isn't on.
It isn't enforced because it doesn't violate anything. The GDPR isn't about disallowing data collection, it's about requiring consent, protecting the data collected, collecting data that is necessary for your business, and when requested being able to share information and being transparent. It is mostly aimed at Google and Facebook due to their methods being viewed as questionable, as well as the fact they lack transparency.
Enough with the brown noses and privileged puppets. Nobody cares about what lackeys have to say. BHS/EME/Whoever official, as someone from the potato nation which no longer cares if they get banned or not, give up you`re official response, and make it a good one.
There is no where to be found.
Are you actually using what other people had said about that even without testing it yourself?
Repeating something that other people said without you actually knowing if its true or not is not a good feedback at all.
So far people that has found that xhunter1.sys file on their pc's have told they have played other games than TERA that used Xigncode (such as BDO or/and BnS) and probably that file was made for another Xigncode version from another game.
It sounds to me like TERA's version of xigncode is either not installing xhunter1.sys or is hiding it. I suspect it is just not being installed. My suspicion is that xigncode can be configured to mess with the kernel, but EME configured it to just run as a regular process instead.
I can confirm that I don't see this xhunter1.sys file in the wine bottle that I have TERA installed to. Its possible that may be due to it not being a real windows system, though.

Q: Bootstrap equal column heights (Vertically aligning images using bottom) Link to live version: http://45.55.186.46/test/
I have a set of sections where i would like to vertically align the images using the bottom attribute. However currently the columns are not the same height. When i try to add the height: 100% attribute to all the parent tags, the image enlarges in size and overflows the section. Any help would be appreciated.

A: Did some experimenting on your test page and got an adequate css only solution. Set the .col-* class that you want to vertically align to bottom to the following css:
  float: none;
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: bottom;

Then set the parent row to display: table; to make up for the extra padding that inline-block creates and it should align correctly. It will still require a bit of finessing for some of your more complicated rows but seems to work well.

When we look back at the latest 10 years (from April 2015 to April 2018), we see continuing with check that the PC is the most planned gaming stage at whatever point made. This stage has the most incitements and the most vital sorts of diversions you'll find wherever. Picking our best 25 best and most fundamental experiences from that time was an immense test, regardless IGN's driving gathering of pros — including James Duggan, Chloi Rad, Miranda Sanchez, Tom Marks, and Dan Stapleton, and Brandin Tyrrel — have assembled an once-over that keeps an eye on our total considerations on the decade's highlights.
livemobile888 Before we bob in, a rich word on our criteria for this snappy diagram. The basic interest is "What are the best PC fervors released from 2008 to 2018?" But our criticalness of "best" joins the two beguilements that are at the most stunning need on our once-over of proposals today and diversions that were astounding in their prime, paying little respect to whether those ponder days are done. Yet again, this abstract ponders only beguilements from the past 10 years, so on the off chance that you're requesting what reason there's no Half-Life 2, System Shock 2, Quake III: Arena, StarCraft, TIE Fighter, or X-COM: UFO Defense on here, that is the reason. Moreover, typically, there are different diversions that generally made the speedy diagram, yet with only 25 spaces, some troublesome amends must be made. Moreover, now, on with the present year's abstract!

BRASILIA, (Reuters) – Brazil's National Security Adviser Augusto Heleno said yesterday that right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro had not offered to host a U.S. military base or American soldiers on Brazilian soil.
The plan to offer to host a base appears to have been dropped due to opposition from the armed forces, who see a foreign presence as a transgression of national sovereignty. A senior army officer told Reuters on Saturday that the Brazilian military was against the idea.

Savoring Every Drop of Success
Kristal Muhich and her husband, Dylan Scott, continue to experiment with new products and new recipes. | Photo: Bryce Johnson
Jackie M. Young
Jackie M. Young has been a freelance writer since 2007 and reported for Hawaii Business, the Star-Advertiser, MidWeek Special Sections, Hawaii Army Weekly, Trade Publishing, Civil Beat, the Hawaii Independent, Hana Hou Magazine, and Honolulu Magazine online. She has also been involved in acting and radio and TV for many years. She is a Punahou School and UH graduate.
KRISTAL MUHICH IS A SURVIVOR.
"I was adopted by my uncle when I was 4," recalls the owner of Kauai Juice Co. "I really didn't like school. I couldn't wait to leave – I graduated from high school early when I was 17 so I could work four different jobs. I was always a workaholic."
She was born in Texas, but raised in the small town of Mahomet, Illinois. "When I was 18 or 19, I started to read books on health and wellness," says Muhich, who now lives in Anahola.
"That really inspired me to do my own research, traveling and going to seminars and retreats. One of the retreats was on the Big Island, then I found my way to Kauai in 2005."
Muhich, 32, says she originally studied winemaking, but turned to kombucha, "which is another fermenting process."
"I loved kombucha, but didn't have any money to start my own business, so I started a Kickstarter campaign for the equipment for $7,000 in 2010. Being a first-time business owner, I had no idea what to buy and later found out wasted half my money on things I didn't need.
"Any money I made, I put it all back into the product. I was literally living out of my car because I couldn't afford the rent on my apartment. I did this for at least a year."
In 2010, Muhich quit her full-time job as a waitress and founded Kauai Kombucha in a small kitchen in downtown Kapaa. On her own, she would brew, bottle and wholesale the beverage. "At the beginning, it was pretty bad. I couldn't afford new bottles – plus I wanted to use the whole recycling idea – so I would go to restaurants and scrub off the wine labels from their old bottles and then reuse them for my kombucha.
"It was a lot of manual labor."
But the community helped her. "It was a lot of little things that fell into place, just when I needed them. Like when I had to go through my first health inspection, the walk-in fridge broke. I didn't have any money to fix it and I started crying. The repairmen were so sweet – they went back to their house to get me an old refrigerator they just gave to me for the inspection. If I didn't have it, I probably would've never even been able to start the business."
Muhich's kombucha became well-known for its freshness and gradually, through word- of-mouth at health food stores on the island, it took off. By 2012, she was in the black and rebranded the business as Kauai Juice Co.
"I wasn't able to source locally as much as I originally wanted to for our kombucha due to some of the ingredients not being grown here, but I could do that for our juices." Muhich manufactures cold-pressed, organic, locally sourced juices, 80 percent of which is made from produce that's grown in Hawaii. And cold-pressing the fruits or vegetables in large hydraulic presses ensures the juice does not oxidize or decay as rapidly as with other methods, she says.
Kauai Juice became so popular that a second store was opened in 2013 in Kilauea and a third in Poipu in 2016. Muhich added a second manufacturing plant in Kapaa and a third in Lihue to meet demand.
Her staff has grown as well. From working alone, Muhich has gone to having about 30 full-time and 10 part-time employees in the manufacturing plants, the warehouse, doing deliveries and serving customers in the stores.
"I really appreciate that our workers are grateful to be working for a company with environmental values," Muhich reflects. "It helps us have a strong, positive team."
Kauai Juice takes back about 1,000 bottles a day for redemption from customers for recycling. "We actually have a whole section of the company just for bottle washing," Muhich points out. "It costs us twice as much money to buy back the bottles and wash them than if we just threw them away and bought new bottles.
"But it helps us stay true to our core values, which is doing the best we can for the island, and being an environmentally conscious company."
Muhich married her husband, Dylan Scott, in 2012. Together, they experiment with healthy ingredients for new items. "He creates so many recipes. I stick to the raw food juices and elixirs. He does all of our fermented items: kimchi, sauerkraut, fermented hot sauces."
Anne Rogers De Anda, 70, is a massage therapist in Kapaa. "I picked up my first juice cleanse in 2014, and have enjoyed juicing with Kauai Juice Co. regularly ever since. I purchase everything to try at least once. Every now and again I just cycle through everything on the menu.
"There is genuine, sincere, passionate love in every sip. I am nurtured and nourished physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually!"
Kauai Juice Kicks
"We have over 40 flavors in rotation, but our most popular are Dragonfruit Pineapple Kombucha and our Turmeric Lemon Ginger Kombucha," says Muhich. "It's full of probiotics and tastes like a bubbly, healthy spritzer."
Vegan Milks
"They are nut-based. We have about 10 options in rotation, but our most popular are our Sexy Baby Maker, Macadamia Nut and our Best Breakfast. People love them because they are filling and can be used as a meal replacement."
"My husband, Dylan Scott, does the recipes for the fermented hot sauces. We ferment all our peppers for a minimum of six months. Our two most popular flavors are Mango Garlic Ghost and Kiawe Smoked."

This year I am moving to a new school and I don't have any rugs in my classroom. I made this super easy t-shirt rug this afternoon. It took me about 2 hours from start to finish. Below are all the directions you will need to create this colorful rug for your home or classroom, too.
Hula hoop -Larger works better, I used a smaller size hoop because that is what I had already. The size of the hoop will directly affect the size of your rug. I think 33" is the biggest there is.
The first thing you will do is cut the t-shirts. Lay the shirts out and cut the trunk of the shirt into strips about 1" in width. You will need 11 loops from the first shirt (the youth size shirt) as we you use this shirt as the loom. The rest of the shirts don't matter as much, as long as the pieces are about 1" wide. Cut the shirt all the way up the trunk until you get to the sleeves. (You wont need the rest of the shirt, so you can save it for other crafts).
Next, you will put the 11 loops from the youth shirt on to the hula hoop. Start with one, and then put the next loop perpendicular to the first (see below).
Then use the rest of the loops from the youth size shirt to fill in the spaces. When you are done, it should look something like the one below. Be careful to maintain the shape of the hula hoop. If it gets distorted, make sure you straighten it back out the best you can before you start to weave or your rug will be lopsided.
Before you start to weave, you will need to push 2 of the spokes on the loom together. This will keep the weave in an alternating pattern. Next, you will tie your first loop of fabric on to a spoke near the center of the loom where all the spokes cross each other. I tied mine on the two spokes that I put together in the last step. This is a good idea because you will need to keep track of this spoke. To tie the loop onto the spoke, wrap it around the spoke and pull it back through itself (you will use this tie to add pieces later, scroll down to see a photo of this technique).
Next, weave the loop of fabric over and under each spoke. You will keep the two pieces of the spoke together for now. Make the weave snug, but don't over-tighten it or your rug will not lie flat (I made this mistake on my first rug). When you get to the end of the loop, attach another by putting the loop through the last and pulling it back through itself.
As you weave, push the pieces toward the center of the rug and be sure you don't see any spaces. If you see spaces now, they will be in your rug later. Continue weaving until your rug is about the width of your hand. Then you will begin to weave each piece of the spoke individually, going under and over each individual piece of fabric instead of the doubled spokes. When you get to the two spokes you put together, pull them apart. One of those two spokes will be treated as all the others (individually weaving over and under each part). The other will stay together as one piece of fabric (do not separate and weave under and over individually). This will continue the alternating pattern of over and under.
Continue weaving and adding strips of fabric until your rug is about 4 inches from the hula hoop. Then cut the last loop and tie onto the closest spoke and tuck the ends into the rug.
Last, you will cut each spoke off the hula hoop and double knot it.
Continue around the hula hoop until each spoke is cut and tied. Voilà, your t-shirt rug is complete!
Hi, my name is Annemarie and I'm a Children's Librarian. I'm hoping to make these rugs with families this spring, and I was wondering of I could use one of your photos for my publicity. Thanks!
Love this. I'm a kindergarten teacher and I'm wondering if I could do this with my students. I would show them how and then let the kinders take turns working with a partner while I monitor the project. I think they will love it!
I am a first grade teacher and mom of 4. I am blogging to share ideas with others, as I have gained so much from others myself. Enjoy!
