The Reuse! Box Truck
Reuse Expert Alex Eaves and Tiny House Expert Derek "Deek" Diedricksen have transformed a 17-foot box truck into a 98-Square Foot tiny house and mobile reuse education center; combining their knowledge of reuse and building tiny houses. This second life for the truck will provide a way for people to see the benefits of reusing and how they can reduce waste in their own lives. Alex and Deek have reused every step of the way: from the truck to the materials to screws. They will show people how, with a little more thought and creativity, reuse is everywhere and it's not only beneficial to our planet, but it benefits people and their wallets too.
Zero Refills
Do you have that feeling? The feeling that we are stuck in an endless cycle of re-purchasing plastic bottle after plastic bottle over and over again. Creating needless waste. Let's break the cycle! Let's start refilling our empty bottles instead of tossing them!
Our refill store is practical, easily accessible, and the experience is tangible. You know as you are refilling your empty bottle that you are actually making a difference. (Unlike the recycle bin where you toss stuff in and just have to hope that it really does end up getting recycled.)
Noble Oak was created with a goal of offering a great whiskey that gives back. It's simple - every bottle plants a tree. For three years now, we have worked with our partners at One Tree Planted to plant trees in areas of need around the country.
Our efforts have spanned from the Redwood Forest in California to Detroit, Michigan, to the Finger Lakes in New York, and everywhere in between.

Despite rising education levels, only about a quarter of Indian women work; inadequate and unsafe public transportation is a major reason. To increase female participation in the labor force, one of the most promising solutions is to upgrade an old favorite.
BENGALURU – When resources are limited, it is human capital that defines the sustainable development of a community, especially in the case of costly misallocation and underutilization, as is often the case in developing countries. Nowhere is this truer than in India, where the value of the current demographic dividend hinges on a grossly underutilized resource pool – the female workforce.
Despite rising education levels and a female literacy rate of 65%, only about a quarter of Indian women participate in the labor force. Increasing women's workforce participation by a mere ten percentage points could add $700 billion to India's GDP by 2025. And that requires removing one of the main obstacles to achieving this objective: broken transportation services.
Astha (name changed), a 35-year-old teacher working in the district headquarters of Jhunjhunu, in the state of Rajasthan, is one of the youngest teachers ever to be nominated for a promotion to school headmistress. But accepting the promotion meant transferring farther away from home. She took the new position, only to find the commute difficult and unsafe, as she left in the early hours of the morning, walking 1.5-2 kilometers every day. Two months into her new role, unable to depend on being escorted by family members to the bus depot daily, she gave up the job and returned to a lower position at the nearby school. Lack of reliable transportation led her to give up this opportunity.
Until the current generation of corrupt , low intelligence retard chief ministers of provincial governments and their followers is over, plight and hardship of working women won't change.

To the Black Forest and back by electric car
More and more people are going on holiday with their EV. Among them is Peter Struijk, who travelled with his electric car from Friesland to the Black Forest via the German Mosel region. In this article Peter shares his travel and charging experiences.
On Monday we set out for Cochem, a 430-kilometre drive. It's about 20 degrees, which is always better for an electric car than lower temperatures because of how they affect the range. My car can do about 350 km at 120-130 km/h on the motorway, which means we'll have to charge at least once on the way. Still, we don't want to arrive at our destination with a low battery, so I decide to make two charging stops anyway. We're going to a holiday park, and we're planning to go on day trips from there without having to worry about charging. The Smoov app says there should be one charge point there, but I'm not counting on it. It could be busy or out of service.
I've been driving fully electric without any problems for almost three years now. I did once cut it fine though: I went on a trip of more than 200 km late in the evening at temperatures just below zero and drove all the way at the maximum speed limit (which was still 130 km/h at the time). I just about got home without recharging, but with only a few kilometres to spare. I might not have made it if I hadn't turned down the heating a bit for the last 50 km.
The first leg, heading for the Mosel region
So here comes the first leg of our holiday: we set out with a fully charged battery for the first charging stop, which is near Hünxe, a total distance of 221 km. At the Raststätte, or 'rest area', along the A3 we're able to use a fast charger. After five minutes a Jaguar i-Pace parks next to us. We have a chat, exchange some experiences and after a coffee we're off again. We charged for about 30 minutes, and with our current range we can easily get to our holiday home, but we'd like a bit more power in reserve. 50 km before our destination we make a short stop at the Elztal Raststätte on the A48. There we find a huge truck combination parked in front of the charge points. Much to my relief, I hear the truck engine idling when I get out. The driver understands the situation and moves forward a bit: fortunately, there's plenty of space. We charge here for just under fifteen minutes, which gives us time to stretch our legs before we set off again.
When we arrive, it turns out that I can park right next to the holiday home. That means I can use the travel charger for a normal plug socket, which is the first thing I do. I dial the charger back from 10A to 6A (= 1.3 kW). I'm not sure what this kind of plug socket can take, and there could be other equipment on the same group, such as a washing machine or dishwasher. The last thing you want is to see smoke coming out of the socket, or the whole thing bursting into flames... Better safe than sorry!
Heading for the Black forest
After spending a few days here we head off to our next destination: Freudenstadt in the Black Forest. This leg covers a distance of 300 km. After 60 km we stop for our first charge at Autohof Waldlaubersheim off the A61. A German Autohof, or service station, usually offers everything you need: a petrol station, eateries and in this case Tesla and Allego charging stations as well. We have a cup of coffee at the restaurant, and before long we're back on the road. The State of Charge (SOC) was 50% when we arrived, and 80% when we left the restaurant after 25 minutes.
Now we drive at an average speed of 120 km/h towards Rastatt. Here we have to briefly exit the A5 because the Allego charge point is located in some kind of industrial site with shops nearby. It's a Sunday and the streets are almost deserted. We don't need many kilowatt hours to get where we're going. The meter is now showing an SOC of 30%, and after 20 minutes we're off again with 70%. Freudenstadt is just 60 km from here.
After a week and a half we head for home. We have a total journey of 700 km ahead of us, but my wife's back is playing up so we decide to do it in two legs, with an overnight stay. I tried to find out if I could charge at the hotel but couldn't get an answer so we assume it won't be possible. Opposite our guesthouse is a fantastic restaurant: Zur Mühle in Grüntal. The restaurant's website says you can charge your car for free if you eat there. We'd already eaten there the week before, and I'd arranged with the owner that I could plug in the night before our departure. So the next morning we leave with a full battery. The first leg is about 340 km, which we can easily do with a single charge stop. We start at an altitude of 700 metres and 60 km away the A5 is at sea level. When we join the A5 I'm getting 8.9 kWh/100 km: if only it was always as good as this...
We're on our way to the Allego fast charger in Limburg an der Lahn, about 2 km from the motorway. Unfortunately, I get a Smoov app message 10 minutes before we arrive: "charge point busy." When we arrive there's a Citroën C-Zero at the CHAdeMO charge point. That means I can't charge with the CCS plug at the same time, but I can use the AC plug. But there's a limitation: the car's hardware can only handle up to 7.4 kW on AC. The friendly Citroën driver says he'll have enough power in about fifteen minutes and then he'll be off. He's as good as his word, and I insert the CCS plug so we can carry on charging at 45 kW. Opposite the fast charger we see an Italian restaurant with a terrace! It's 25 degrees outside, so we go there for an iced coffee. With an 80% SOC we continue our trip to the hotel in Windhagen near Bonn.
We arrive at an almost deserted hotel. At reception they tell me I can charge from an ordinary power socket in the parking garage. That's fine: every kW is one extra. I connect the travel charger and set it to 6A. The next morning I see that I charged for almost 12 hours at 1.3 kW, which is still 25% SOC for free. That makes the last leg a cinch: just 352 km to go. It also means that we can put our foot down a bit on the German Autobahn.
The next planned stop is on the A3 just before the Dutch-German border: Hamminkeln. Opposite the fast charger there's a "Bors, mein Bäcker" café. It's pouring with rain, so we won't be sitting outside today. We go indoors for a nice Latte Macchiato and a Bienenstich, or 'bee sting cake'. After coffee we're already up to 80% SOC, so we'll easily make it. When I get in the car a van pulls up next to me, a Nissan NV-200. He's pleasantly surprised to see we're leaving at that moment.
Our conclusion
There's really no reason for going on holiday abroad with a fully electric car to be a challenge. A bit of advance planning and you'll get wherever you want to go. We find that we're much more relaxed when we travel these days. Instead of making short stops and then pressing on again, all we have to do is stop for at least 30 minutes every two-and-a-half hours. An added benefit is that it forces you to take a break. But doesn't that mean you get to your destination much later? Well, it might add just under an hour to a 700 km day trip, but at least you're less tired when you arrive. And what's an hour when you're going on a three-week holiday?

Q: How to use HeidiSQL (or similar MySQL managers) with hosted databases I'm using HeidiSQL ( http://www.heidisql.com/ ) to manage my databases at work (I prefer this over phpMyAdmin).
Now, I want to use HeidiSQL with my personnal host plan, but when I connect to MySQL with my host, I connect with "localhost" in PHP but at work, I connect to databases with something like "supersqlserver.foo.net"...
Is there a way to connect to my hosted database with HeidiSQL? Is it common practice with hosts to allow the use of software like this?
BTW, the host where I want HeidiSQL to work is HostGator.

A: When you can't connect to the MySQL server directly, for example a firewall blocks the access from all network protocols, except HTTP protocol, you can use HTTP tunneling.
Here an example of connecting to MySQl through Httptunnel using HeidiSQL.

A: Ask your HostGator support. They should be able to help you. Maybe they only listen on localhost, and then you can't connect from the outside. It's rather common to not listen for external MySQL connections due to security policies, but some hosts allow it.

Do You Feel Like Your Feet Are Encased In Wax?
A common comment that I hear from my patients is that their feet is numb. Not the "usual" numb that you may feel from time to time. This is the kind of numb that people feel and describe that they feel like they are wearing multiple pair of socks, even when they weren't. They feel like their feet are encased in wax. It doesn't hurt, but it's not right. These patients are suffering from peripheral neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where the nerves to the lower extremity no longer function efficiently and effectively. This can result in a burning or stinging pain or a sensation of numbness. Both are bothersome to those who suffer from it. Although diabetes is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy, it is far from the only cause. In fact, it is unfortunately common to not find a cause for peripheral neuropathy at all. These factors make it difficult to treat. It also leads to frustration when symptoms linger.
There a number of medications that have been marketed for pain from neuropathy. These include Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin. These are only effective when the neuropathy presents with pain and often have side effects. For neuropathy where it feels like the feet are numb as if they are encased in wax, vitamin supplements have often proven to be effective in alleviating the symptoms.
Neuremedy is a medical food neuropathy vitamin containing a fat-soluble form of thiamine, which is Vitamin B1. Metanx is another medical food that has a multitude of vitamins and nutrients that aids in nutritionally supporting the nerves. Both are without interactions to other medications and carry no side effects. If effective, these vitamins must be taken on an ongoing basis to continue their effect.
I can't guarantee that you will realize relief by utilizing any of these medications, vitamins, and therapies, since everything works differently for different people. I do know that many with neuropathy are told that nothing can be done. That can't be farther from the truth. Give your podiatrist in Houston, TX a call and see if one or more is right for you.
My toes were numb to the touch, they would cramp if I moved them a certain way; my feet smelled awful; my legs and ankles were terribly swollen with water weight. I had calluses on my heels and toes, so I decided to start taking care of my feet with one of those electric grinders. Believe it or not - once I ground enough dead skin away - underneath those calluses were years, and I mean decades of corns, more calluses, even more corns. There were soft calluses filled with fatty pus, there were corns between my toes, there were corns stacked on corns stacked on corns - it was horrendous. It has taken almost a year of soaking, careful trimming and filing to rid myself of the disgusting 'armor' encasing my poor feet and toes. But that's not the end, because the very last layer is like a thin coating of wax, especially where the arch is. And that's where I am now. That 'armor' had tightened around my toes and heel, cutting off most of the circulation to my feet. No wonder my legs were so puffy and my toes were numb. All reversed now. I consider it a miracle - literally. No more water weight. I can feel the blood moving through my legs. I have bones in my calves I could never see before. My ankles are trim and I don't get cramps in my toes anymore. I can feel my toes! My feet smell fresh and clean! My feet touch the ground!!! I feel healthier, period. I have to wonder how many other people are suffering like this - underneath those innocent looking calluses could be some mighty gross stuff doing some terrible damage.
The wax feeling comes and goes. It is not permanent. Sometimes I get relief by wearing socks whereby you do not feel the wax feeling. However, I will try the vitamins. Roger Hayes.
I feel like my toes and front part of me feet are encased in wax.
I have a wax feeling under my feet but no pain. What shall I do.
Both of my feet have some numbness,especially underneath the foot, where my toes attach. If I rub or scratch an itch on my right foot, it will leave a red mark, sort of like a rash. It doesn't seem to be going away. It want do that with my left foot. Sometimes, I have a burning sensation in the lower section of my legs. I function fine with NO pain. It's weird. What are your thoughts?

Is your home-renovation project really worth doing?
Maybe you've watched one too many home improvement shows. Perhaps you're still stinging from that holiday guest's comment about how your kitchen countertop has seen better days. Or maybe you're just really tired of the same old, same old every day. Whatever the reason the remodeling itch has settled into your brain, before you bring in a contractor – or pick up a hammer – you should consider two important questions: How will you fund your project? And will it be worth it in the end?
A little research and credit self-assessment can answer both questions. In addition to pulling your credit report to see how likely you are to qualify for good loan terms, you should consider the potential resale value of the improvement, how it will improve your life and if it will enhance your enjoyment of your home.
Fortunately, it's not difficult to evaluate the potential resale value. Kitchen and bathroom remodels, adding a deck, or finishing a basement or attic are all popular renovations because they upgrade the most-used rooms in the house or add living space.
Keep in mind that smaller remodels, while costing less than major jobs, can still have a major impact on how your home looks and feels. For example, simply replacing that old front door with a steel version can cost around $1,000 but offers a return on investment of nearly 129 percent, according to the report.
Another factor to consider when weighing the value of any remodeling project is how it will affect your quality of life in terms of financial security. It's important to be sure the cost of the project won't be a financial burden that detracts from your enjoyment of the results.
To help understand your current credit status and how it might affect your remodeling loan terms, obtain a copy of your credit report. Websites like CreditReport.com can provide you with a credit report with your paid monitoring membership. Obtaining your credit report and monitoring your credit can help you identify any inaccuracies or errors that might lead to higher interest rates, and also catch and resolve potential fraud quickly. You'll also find tips on the website for understanding your credit, and tools such as a credit score tracker to help you anticipate how certain financial decisions – like financing a remodel – might affect your credit.
Remodeling projects will likely remain popular as homeowners continue to stay put in a still-sluggish real estate market, experts agree. With some careful planning, budgeting, research and credit insight, you can ensure you reap the most financial and personal value for whatever renovation you decide to undertake.

Q: Add query parameters to link in firebase dynamic link I create dynamic link and I want to send some specific parameter, like:
"https://mydynamiclink/?link=" + link + "&msgid=" + id + "&apn=myapn".
link field looks like "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details/?id=com.myApp&msgid=myId&apn=myapn"
When I open my app after taping on this link - I receive PendingDynamicLinkData and can get link from it, but not some custom data. (pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink() returns my link without "&msgid=..." - I'm getting string "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details/?id=com.myApp")
How can I add my msgid field and get it after all?

A: I've found solution
String query = "";
try {
    query = URLEncoder.encode(String.format("&%1s=%2s", "msgid", id), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

final String link = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details/?id=com.myApp" + query;

After such encoding pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink() returns me https://play.google.com/store/apps/details/?id=com.myApp&msgid=myId

A: Accepted answer didn't work out fine for me, all i needed to do was check if the link was for a user's profile and not a blog post, so i can redirect to my ProfileActivity instead.
private void generateDynamicLink() {
    //build link normally and add queries like a normal href link would
    String permLink = getLink() + "?route=profile&name=" + getProfileName()
            + "&category=" + getUserPracticeCategory()
            + "&picture=" + getProfilePicture();

    FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().createDynamicLink()
            .setLink(Uri.parse(permLink))
            .setDynamicLinkDomain(Constants.DYNAMIC_LINK_DOMAIN)
            .setAndroidParameters(new
    DynamicLink.AndroidParameters.Builder().build())
            .setSocialMetaTagParameters(
                    new DynamicLink.SocialMetaTagParameters.Builder()
                            .setTitle("Enter Title")
                            .setDescription("Enter Desc here")
                            .setImageUrl(Uri.parse(getProfilePicture()))
                            .build())
            .buildShortDynamicLink()
            .addOnCompleteListener(this, task -> {
                if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent();
                    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,task.getResult().getShortLink());
                    intent.setType("text/plain");
                    startActivity(intent);
                } else {
                    Utils.snackBar(tvAddress, "Failed to Generate Profile Link, Try
Again");
                }
            });
}

and when a user navigates into my app using the generated link, it goes to a post detail activity, because i made that activity the only browsable activity in my manifest. i then have to use the route query to determine if the incoming link is a blog post or a shared user profile.
private void retrieveDynamicLink() {
    FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().getDynamicLink(getIntent())
            .addOnSuccessListener(this, pendingDynamicLinkData -> {
                if (pendingDynamicLinkData == null) {
                    retrieveLocalIntent();
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(context, "Resolving Link, Please Wait...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    if (pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink().getQueryParameter("route") != null) {
                        if (Objects.requireNonNull(pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink().getQueryParameter("route")).equalsIgnoreCase("profile")) {
                            try {
                                Uri uri = pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink();
                                String permLink = uri.toString().split("\\?")[0];
                                Intent intent = new Intent(this, ProfileActivity.class);
                                intent.putExtra(ProfileActivity.PROFILE_NAME, uri.getQueryParameter("name"));
                                intent.putExtra(ProfileActivity.PROFILE_CATEGORY, uri.getQueryParameter("category"));
                                intent.putExtra(ProfileActivity.PROFILE_PICTURE, uri.getQueryParameter("picture"));
                                intent.putExtra(Utils.POST_PERMLINK, permLink);
                                startActivity(intent);
                                this.finish();
                            } catch (NullPointerException e) {
                                Toast.makeText(context, "Unable to View User Profile", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            }
                        }
                    } else {
                        postHrefLink = pendingDynamicLinkData.getLink().toString();
                        getPostDetail.getData(postHrefLink);
                    }
                }
            })
            .addOnFailureListener(this, e ->
                    retrieveLocalIntent()
            );
}

Hope this helps.

A: 1 First Change your Dynamic Link in firebase console from http://exampleandroid/test to http://exampleandroid/test?data
    2. You send the query paramter data with this
 DynamicLink dynamicLink = FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().createDynamicLink()
                   // .setLink(dynamicLinkUri)
                    .setLink(Uri.parse("http://exampleandroid/test?data=dsads"))
                    .setDomainUriPrefix("https://App_Name.page.link")
                    // Open links with this app on Android
                    .setAndroidParameters(new DynamicLink.AndroidParameters.Builder().build())
                    // Open links with com.example.ios on iOS
                    .setIosParameters(new DynamicLink.IosParameters.Builder("com.appinventiv.ios").build())
                    .buildDynamicLink();

            dynamicLinkUri = dynamicLink.getUri();

A: Let's say that You want to create the following URL:
https://www.myawesomesite.com/turtles/types?type=1&sort=relevance#section-name
For this you can do following
 Uri.Builder builder = new Uri.Builder();
 builder.scheme("https")
.authority("www.myawesomesite.com")
.appendPath("turtles")
.appendPath("types")
.appendQueryParameter("type", "1")
.appendQueryParameter("sort", "relevance")
.fragment("section-name");

String myUrl = builder.build().toString();

Pérez reveals his difficulties at Red Bull
Sergio Pérez has been struggling to get to grips with his new Formula 1 car and the high demands of his new team this season. A complicated start to the F1 season, according to the Mexican.
For the first time in his career, Sergio Pérez, 31, is competing in a team that is aiming to win every race. The Mexican driver, who arrived at Red Bull this season, seems to be finding it difficult to adapt to his new situation.
Fifth in the overall standings, Max Verstappen's team-mate is not at ease with his car and is still finding his feet. He, who praised Red Bull's demands at the beginning of the season, must do better. Sergio Pérez recently spoke about the situation and is positive about the rest of the season.
Sergio Pérez knows that he will have to be patient in order to acclimatise 100% to his new car.
"I don't feel at home in the car, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. There are tyre changes, wing changes, weather changes, and when you know a car by heart it's very easy to adapt to these situations.
"I am not the only one who has difficulties with a new car. I haven't forgotten how to do the job, but unfortunately it's taking longer than I would like. " said Sergio Pérez.
← Mclaren boss knows why Ricciardo is failing
F1 commentator loses job after targeting Serena Williams →
3 responses to "Pérez reveals his difficulties at Red Bull"
Ultimately Perez is a pay driver who throughout his career has been able to leverage that to get what he wants. The only time he couldn't do that was at McLaren where he lasted one season. And it looks like a repeat of his time at McLaren and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's gone from Red Bull at the end of this season. I can see Red Bull going after Russell if he doesn't go to M-B for 2022.

* Todd Purdum in "the Times":http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/03/national/nationalspecial/03voices.html reports on the "outrage at the response" from the viewpoint of a revered big-city mayor. "Andrew Young, the former civil rights worker and mayor of Atlanta who was Jimmy Carter's ambassador to the United Nations, was born in New Orleans 73 years ago, walked on its levees as a boy and 'was always assured by my father that the Army Corps of Engineers had done a masterful job.' But, Mr. Young said, "they've been neglected for the last 20 years," along with other pillars of the nation's infrastructure, human and physical. "I was surprised and not surprised… I think we've got to see this as a serious problem of the long-term neglect of an environmental system on which our nation depends." Mayors, more so than any other high-profile elected officials, know the minutiae of infrastructure and know how important it is to the proper functioning of a great city, state, or nation. Too bad that 30 years of anti-government rhetoric from Washington has deprived our nation of the chance to do some great things with its infrastructure.

* When I originally reviewed The Last Waltz, I called it the best rock movie I'd seen, and it still holds the title. Martin Scorsese's elegant camera choreography is an ideal complement for surprisingly sturdy music by the Band and various guests, including the ever-surprising Bob Dylan. Now ''The Last Waltz'' is being revived in New York, to show off a new stereo-sound system at the Sutton Theater. It will soon move over to the Beekman, another comfortable East Side showplace, and there's active talk of a national revival for the film, concentrating on movie houses with excellent acoustical setups. ''The Last Waltz'' has clearly not had its last waltz yet.

Spanish Police Nab Casino-Robbing Gang Mid-Heist
Hapless thieves arrested as they botched an 'Ocean's 11'-style hold-up.
By Pol Fernandez November 6, 2020
Four robbers armed with fake guns were recently arrested after police caught them in the act. Pictured is the moment of the attempted robbery at a mini casino in Arona, Spain. (Newsflash)
ARONA, Spain—Four robbers armed with fake guns were recently arrested after police on Tenerife in the Canary Islands caught them in the act at a mini-casino.
The criminals tried to rob a mini-casino in the municipality of Arona on the island of Tenerife in September, the Spanish Civil Guard Command of Santa Cruz de Tenerife told Zenger News on Nov. 2.
Frame of the actual moment of the robbery in mini casino. (Newsflash)
Police began investigating the group in August, after they robbed a bank branch in a nearby town. Officers were later able to trace their vehicle and waited within the vicinity of the mini-casino until they were able to catch the suspects red-handed.
Recently released security camera footage of the attempted heist shows three men enter the mini-casino while a fourth waits outside. One of them approaches clients playing roulette, pointing a fake gun at them and telling them to sit down. Meanwhile, the other two rob a cash register and hit a slot machine with a rock.
However, about a half-dozen plainclothes police officers storm the establishment midway through the robbery. One robber immediately surrenders, but two others dash for an alternative exit without success and get trapped in another room, where they are arrested. The man who was waiting outside also tried to flee, but was arrested.

Two simulated short weapons with characteristics very similar to real firearms were recovered from the scene. Subsequent searches of the suspects' homes resulted in a seizure of objects and garments used by the group members.
After further investigation, a fifth member was arrested for providing the simulated firearms to the perpetrators, and a sixth person was arrested for renting the escape vehicles. Thanks to an analysis of clothing items, authorities were also able to trace the perpetrators to four other robberies on the island, including a supermarket and three other mini-casinos.

Officers from the Civil Guard Command of Santa Cruz de Tenerife made seven other arrests in July in their efforts to dismantle criminal groups dedicated to committing robberies with violence in public establishments.

In 1979, a year after he co-founded Yellow Magic Orchestra, Haruomi Hosono joined forces with acoustic guitarist Takahiko Ishikawa and keyboardist Masataka Matsutoya to record "The Aegean Sea", a gloriously sunny set of jazz-fusion, disco and jazz-funk cuts shot through with Mediterranean musical influences. It's the kind of thing that would now be considered "Balearic", so it's little surprise to see the set getting a European reissue for the very first time. There's much to admire throughout, from the funk-fuelled dancefloor cheeriness of "Reggae Aegean Woman" and Bob James/Jimmy Smith-influenced bliss of "Image", to the sun-baked gorgeousness of "Day Break" and thrillingly jaunty "Atlantis".

Ledn raises $70M to grow Bitcoin-backed mortgage product
Lending platform targets $100M in originations in the product by the end of the Q1 2022
December 15, 2021, 5:32 pm By Flávia Furlan Nunes
Toronto-based cryptocurrency lending platform Ledn has raised $70 million in a Series B funding round to support the growth of its digital assets lending business, including a new Bitcoin-backed mortgage product.
The round valued the company at $540 million and was led by 10T Holdings, the company announced on Wednesday. Other investors included Golden Tree Asset Management, Raptor Group, and FJ Labs. Another 11 existing venture investors, such as White Star Capital and Kingsway Capital, followed on in the round.
Founded in 2018, Ledn focuses on saving and lending products for Bitcoin and other digital assets. It claims that the startup has over $1.7 billion in assets from clients in 127 countries. Loan originations in dollars increased by more than 25% since the third quarter of 2020, and 44% of loan clients are in Latin America.
The Bitcoin-backed mortgage product accepts Bitcoins and properties as collateral for loans to clients that want to purchase new real estate or finance a property they already own. Loans amounts are equal to 50% of the combined value of both Bitcoins and property.
The product is currently offered with a two-year term, with the possibility to be renewed. It requires regular monthly interest payments. Rates will depend on market conditions, but the inclusion of the collateral can reduce costs, the company explains on the website.
Building the next generation of tech: Three ways to digitize home lending
The home lending industry has a massive opportunity to digitalize to create efficiencies and to deliver a simpler end-to-end user experience that would benefit both borrowers and servicers.
Presented by: Mr. Cooper
According to Ledn, if Bitcoin prices drop, the client needs to deposit more collateral or pay down some of the principal. Otherwise, the company will sell part of the currency to meet the required loan-to-value of 50%. Clients, however, will gain when Bitcoin value increases.
Already in pilot mode in Canada, the product is expected to be offered broadly in the country and the United States early in 2022. The company targets $100 million in originations by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
Adam Reeds, CEO at Ledn, said in a statement that most people that hold extensive wealth in Bitcoin can't use their assets to qualify for a mortgage at a bank, and the product is for those who choose to invest outside the mainstream of legacy banks.
"Our clients want to diversify their portfolio in order to protect their wealth and then utilize that wealth for instances such as purchasing a home, but one should not come at the expense of the other," he said in a statement.
The cryptocurrency market was worth over $2.2 trillion on Wednesday, according to CoinGecko. Some banks, lenders, and fintechs are testing the technology, but the lack of regulatory clarity and fears of volatility have kept these currencies from becoming fully integrated into products and services.
Regarding the mortgage industry, the acceptance of cryptocurrencies by investors lags the development of new products. Among government agencies, there remains significant resistance to accepting cryptocurrencies.
Early in December, Freddie Mac said that due to the high level of uncertainty, borrowers' income in cryptocurrency may not be used to qualify for the mortgage. Also, borrowers may exchange cryptocurrency for U.S. dollars for mortgage transactions. The agency said it will continue to monitor cryptocurrency developments to update requirements in the future.
In September, the Pontiac-based wholesale mortgage lender United Wholesale Mortgage accepted its first-ever cryptocurrency mortgage payment – and five more in October. The transactions, however, were used as models to "better assess scaling cryptocurrency payments for consumers," the company said.
Due to "incremental costs and regulatory uncertainty in the crypto space," the lender decided to keep this initiative in the pilot phase for now," said Mat Ishbia, president and CEO of UWM.
Figure Technologies, the lender founded by former SoFi chief Mike Cagney, is building a platform based on blockchain technology, which in the future could facilitate cryptocurrencies used for home buying, but is years away.


Tasso Exhaust for LML 4T 125 & 150, following on from the original LH version we are pleased to release our new RH (engine side) type.
Available in 3 different finishes, unpainted, VHT Red and VHT Black.
Same price £99+vat and advanced tuning features for those wanting extra performance.
Remember free delivery and discount for LMLOCGB members Dealers discounts also available.
What's the diffence between them-and before anyone says it, I know one exits on the right side of the engine and the other is on the left .
Are there any advantages of one over the other?
Nope exactly the same tuning options. Just preference over exit side.
Have thought about that but it theory it would loose the scavenging needed thus loosing power.
The only way would be to use smaller bore down pipes and it may look a bit odd with weenie pipes.
At the moment pretty happy with either the LH or RH, both have a great 'growl' sound to them.
Looks like a great pipe and good reviews. I was going to go for the Polini but am now thinking that I like the Tasso pipe instead. I think I prefer the right hand pipe rather than the left because of the spare wheel issue that has been mentioned. Just looking at the photo above the pipe looks quite low but also quite tucked in and I wondered if ground clearance is affected at all in right hand bends?
does the left hander make wheel changing difficult?

What were some of the most difficult issues to deal with when working on Virtue's Last Reward? How did you deal with them?
There is only one issue worth talking about in localization, and that is: time. Any other issue can be fixed or avoided with the liberal addition of time, but unfortunately there is never enough to go around.
Beyond that, however, there were plenty of odd translation issues like I might run into in any game. Fortunately, Uchikoshi wrote VLR with an eye for the English audience, which kept difficult plot elements to a minimum, but there were still plenty of jokes that didn't translate well, or didn't translate at all.
There were also fully two instances in this game of characters who "talk like" an animal, which usually means sticking a word or syllable onto the end of their sentences. In the case of Zero III, he adds –usa to his sentences, which is the first half of the Japanese word for "rabbit" (usagi), and in the case of Sigma he adds –nya which is more or less the sound a cat makes. If you've played the game, you know I solved this problem how I solve lots of problems—with puns!—but it was something that caused me a fair amount of difficulty for a while, since both things were fairly integral to the portrayal of each character.
In the Japanese version of the game, Zero III doesn't have nicknames for everyone; he just uses the –kun honorific on everybody's name. Honorifics of every kind can be a pain, but –kun is especially difficult. What I ultimately decided was that his usage of it was supposed to convey two things: that he considered himself superior to the other characters, and that he was being a condescending dick about it. Insulting nicknames seemed like a good way to communicate that, and it also allowed me to drop hints (Moony) and call-outs to 999 (Cleaver). Fun fact: Sigma's full nickname, which is sadly never used, was "Siggy Stardust."
Those are just a few; there were plenty of other issues like these. My strategy for problems of this sort is usually to stare at them for 5-10 minutes and see if I can come up with anything. If I can, I leave them empty, mark them in a list, and move on. I keep them in the back of my mind, and come back to them either when I have a good idea, or when I've finished everything else and I need to wrap them up. There were some jokes and issues that I didn't resolve until almost the end of editing—the conversation about what goes in the card slot in the pantry was one, as was the back-and-forth with Sigma and Tenmyouji where Sigma keeps turning around/making jokes about Tenmyouji's threats.


Directors often find themselves caught in a waiting room between their early short films, and their first full-length feature. How do you go about building up filmmaking experience, and ensure potential talent is not being lost to the screen industry?
In the days before film courses, 48 hour film contests and cheap digital moviemaking, these could be tricky questions indeed. 1985's About Face was an attempt at an answer: seven contemporary dramas for television. Seven dramas which allowed a new wave of writers and directors to stretch out and tell a story that was longer than a short, shorter than Utu, and different from the television norm.
Peter Wells— who directed the Jewel's Darl episode — put it like this: "It was low-budget, fast turn-around, yet high quality, quite individualized drama. Each one was completely different, and it was like making seven mini-features very quickly."
Film-wise, not a lot was going on in 1984. The Government had just closed off tax loopholes, sending private investment scurrying. Frustrated by a lack of funding, Wells, Gregor Nicholas and other independent filmmakers formed the New Film Group. Among other ideas, they proposed a package of short dramas for television, knowing TV programmers prefer regularity over individual short films.
The NFG took their anthology idea to producers Bridget Ikin and John Maynard (working under the banner of Ikin's company Hibiscus Films). The NZ Film Commission, keen to support new filmmakers, agreed to invest, alongside a finance company. Networks in England and New York bought the results, and five of About Face's directors would go on to direct feature films — with a sixth working extensively in television.
But first Ikin had to whittle roughly 150 script ideas down to seven; keeping her eye out for non-racist, non-sexist ideas that suited a half hour running time.
Each director was given a relatively generous two weeks to shoot, while the producers frantically juggled seven balls. The creative team often swapped jobs between episodes, as with previous anthology series Winners and Losers.
Although not officially part of About Face, Rud's Wife (Alison Maclean) screened at the tail end of the series.
The scripts chosen reflected a desire to move beyond familiar staples of the Kiwi screen — the rural, the macho, the romanticised — and mine drama from tales of ordinary people. Six of the seven stories were set in the city. Three episodes had women on the writing team, and five put women actors into key roles. Roughly half of the writers and directors had never made a drama before.
Completed in 1985, About Face debuted in August 1986, at 10pm. The late time-slot was a compromise; television executives originally wanted to drop the Jewel's Darl episode entirely, arguing it violated public standards (starring future MP Georgina Beyer, it also featured strongly in the show's generally impressive reviews).
The signs About Face was on the right track began to appear even before it went on air. In-house TVNZ productions themselves begun looking in different directions — drama series Roche (1985) and Open House (premiering two months before About Face) also shared working class characters, urban settings, and meatier female roles.
Producer Bridget Ikin remarked in 1986: "we took a lot of risks, working with directors and writers who hadn't been involved with narrative drama before. The series vindicates our belief that it is necessary to take risks like that."
The Return Journey episode received a Merit Award at the 1985 Chicago Film Festival. In 1987 About Face was nominated for five Gofta awards. It was a finalist in Best Drama Series. Jewel's Darl was nominated for Best Writing for a Drama: (Anne Kennedy and Peter Wells), Director (Peter Wells) and Single Drama Programme.
Three of the five nominations for Best Performance by a Female in a Dramatic Role (including Danny and Raewyn winner Jennifer Ward-Lealand) were from About Face episodes. The other actress nominations came from a show whose title perhaps best encapsulated the About Face mission: Open House.

Race and Ethnos: Understanding the Racial Question
Thread: Race and Ethnos: Understanding the Racial Question
Saturday, September 27th, 2003 #1
Tuesday, March 13th, 2018 @ 10:14 AM
Prolonged Absence
Race and Ethnos
Understanding the Racial Question
There is so much evidence for racial differences available, that I will not bother to argue about it here. The races are not equal, just like individuals are not equal.
Unfortunately, the fact that the White European race is one of the most intelligent – and the most creative – of all races, has led some to believe that every person with European origins is worth saving. Take, for example, the 'Aryan Nations'-project. It was supposed to become a strong community of 'racially conscious', Christian Whites, who had enough of the modern world and its interracial chaos.
It was a flop.
All kinds of idiots were accepted, as long as they had light skin. It gained a reputation as a sort of shelter for White dropouts, homeless people, and general losers. I suppose none of you is surprised to hear the project imploded as a result of that.
We need to understand that the 'White European race' is nothing more than a biological, taxonomic construct. The members of our race are diverse, both physically and mentally. Not every White guy is superior to the Negro; we too have losers among us, and we need to cut them loose. Paradoxically enough, in order to secure the existence of our people and a future for White children, we must stop caring about the entire race, and focus on the Whites who are actually worth saving. This is where the 'ethnos' comes in.
The Ethnos
While the race is a biological, taxonomic construct, the 'ethnos' is a biological-spiritual community. It is a group of people, connected not only by blood, but also by world-feeling. The members of an ethnos are typically of the same race, but the ethnos usually does not cover the entire race. All high cultures grew out of such an ethnos. Sometimes an ethnos placed itself as a ruling caste on top of lesser peoples, and then enforced its culture on all its subordinates, as happened in ancient India.
The Jewish Ethnos
The Jewish ethnos is probably the best known ethnos in the modern world. It was strong enough to survive even under the most hostile circumstances. For twenty centuries, the Jews lived in 'diaspora' among the Gentiles, the very people they despised. They simply retreated into their own circles, and only worked inside the system of their hosts when it suited their interests. This way, they not only managed to survive as a race and an ethnos, but to actually expand their power, and to reclaim the land they lost two millennia ago.
There is a lot we can learn from this. Instead of accepting every fair-skinned moron as a member of our movement (=our ethnos in an embryonic stage), we must only accept the most intelligent and dedicated individuals. We cannot save the entire race, but many do not deserve to be saved anyway, and would only damage our movement, and thus our rising ethnos.

You say that "We need to understand that the 'White European race' is nothing more than a biological, taxonomic construct".
I regard this as nonsense - the White European Race is no 'construct'. The classification comes long after the fact; the White Race is a product of Nature.
You say ; "Not every White guy is superior to the Negro".
More nonsense; I believe that by dint of being White, even the lowest White is superior to the highest Negro.
And then you say "we must stop caring about the entire race, and focus on the Whites who are actually worth saving ...We cannot save the entire race, but many do not deserve to be saved anyway, and would only damage our movement, and thus our rising ethnos".
You have to achieve power first, then you can start working on breeding-up the Race; this can only be done once the racial group is brought within the embrace of a White Nationalist government.
Look at the measures carried out by the Third Reich to breed up the Germans;
1933 - Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Progeny
1935 - Nuremburg Laws
1935 - Reich Citizenship Law for the Protection of German Blood and Honour [forbids sex between Germans and Jews/Blacks/Gypsies]
1936 - Reich Office for the Combatting of Homosexuality and Abortion
1936 - Reich Committee for Hereditary Health Questions
1939 - Euthanasia programme for physically and mentally handicapped/ prostitutes/abortionists and homosexuals for crimes against race.
These are the sort of measures that need to be brought in; of course they are not effective within small enclaves such as the Aryan Nations project. State power is needed to make the sort of progress that leads to a refined hierarchy WITHIN a Race.
Why are there beings at all, & why not rather nothing?

Who is to be the judge of what 'crimes against race' are? You? Hitler? Himmler? Himmler himself was a 'crime against race' just by being who he was, LOL.

IHR Revisionist Conference, April 24, 2004, internet broadcast:
http://www.internationalrevisionistconference.c om/
I did not say it was a flawed construct. I borrowed the expression from Rushton's essay 'Is Race a Valid Taxonomic Construct?'
You can read it on www.yggsoc.tk - it's in the Archives-section.
If you mean we should never accept a Negro in our White communities, I fully agree. That was, however, not what I meant. If a Negro with an IQ of 100 (that's actually high for a Negro) loves his race and is willing to fight for it, I consider him 'superior' to the White race-traitor who watches mind-numbing television shows, and scores around 90 on an IQ test. This does not mean we should then try to assimilate that black guy.
Not so much political power, as sovereignty in our own circle. We can learn a lot from the Jews in this respect. At this point we need to form a sort of 'state within the state', just like the Jews did for centuries.
I agree. If we do not want to sink to the level of the Negro, we will have to be harsh on the lower elements of our race.

The Land of Cowboys
Right side up
One of the things often confusing about WN threads is that high level political discussion blends with talk on community or the social aspects of small group survival.
Moody says: "[Eugenics] can only be done once the racial group is brought within the embrace of a White Nationalist government."
This may be preferred, but I don't see it as a necessity. I hope that it is not the only way because the prospects for political success are looking dismal.
But I gather Siegfried is talking community or diasporic survival. I don't see that voluntary (positive) eugenics can be legally denied in any Western nation. Negative eugenics in the form of exclusion or expulsion are do-able in the US - not sure about other countries.
Surely, Jews/Israel are the most impressive example of a diasporic people taking some ground back (though small and 2000 years later).
The Amish in North America number about 144,000. Their retension rate is good and losses often go the the Mennonite community - reformed Amish? Some 70% of new Amish settlements were founded after 1960. The Amish are pacifists and don't generally seek converts. From five thousand three hundred years ago, they've multiplied by 29 times AND shed population.
Remeber also that America's population and land grabs exploded after 1783. Also, the steppe area breeding ground c. 2000 BC and internal population pressures provides a better explanation of intrusive Aryans, Persian, Hittites than glorious marauding tribes. That is, the likelihood is high that the Hittites were DRIVEN by fellow Aryans into Anatolia. These tribes were not enormous, but were more martial than the urban artisan and dirt farmers they overlaid.
To put this in perspective, if a 'racial/spiritual' community could duplicate Amish success AND recruit, the growth rate would be very high. Today, as of old, control the country-side, control the country. If there was some shedding from the orthodox ruralites to PLEs, it needn't mean loss of identity in the fleeing 'Mennonite.'
There's a mirror of this thread at SF. But Skadi seems to be generating the more intelligent discussion.
At SF, JohnJoyTree, usually sharp with his social observations, says:
"We" is a weasel word. Every member of our race is valuable, and meant to be loved.
In practice such a group would have to be supportive of wider White Nationalism, would guide the wider White Nationalism, and would grow out the wider White Nationalism, and would recruit from the wider White Nationalism.
--(He seems to be talking about an interactive, reference population.)--
In short, it would be a group of dedicated servants, not an aristocracy of the privileged elite. Life as a member of such a group would be a hard duty.
There are plenty of historical analogs for this.
Secondly, you mention "the most intelligent and dedicated". I believe we should eschew anything like IQ tests: they are fake measures. Heart and spirit are truer.
But .... how to start in practice?
IQ? Heart and Spirit? If there's any degree of heritability to racial instinct, then 'heart and spirit' or loyalty, would be imperative for small groups. Of what value the couch potato with a 180 IQ if he's traitor?
State power is needed to make the sort of progress that leads to a refined hierarchy WITHIN a Race.
If I understand him, JohnJoyTree supports the idea of a creative, largely apolitical, intellectual leadership of inspirers. That's a form of hierarchy, or at least contrast. But I think the better one is an ultra-traditional referent. The one already mentioned has its own growth potential but also provides the reference against which one could say, "How white am I (behaving) compared to..."
Alternate groups, such as National Socialism or WCOTC, don't work as social referent because they are TOO political and lack a working economic, small-group model.
What seems obvious, whether talking political ambition or diasporic survival, is that there are still millions of whites that form a recruitment pool. I don't think we can write them off yet.
Still Siegfried's concern is valid for any small group. On the one hand there would be an inclination to grab anyone interested. On the other, there's no "quality control" mechanism.
For a diasporic group, control can come in three main forms.
Recruit filtering - rejecting hot heads, criminals, et al
Environmental testing - able to pull their own weight. In an Amish-like diaspora, one has to be a minimally profitable farmer.
Group censur - Until recently, the Jews employed excommunication and often much, much worse punishments. Social discipline is effective in very close-knit groups. The Amish use, to great effect, shunning or more often, the threat of shunning.
I believe there is some validity in protecting the "ethnos in an embryonic stage" if we're talking about 'a new beginning' and an exceedingly patient approach.
Originally Posted by OnionPeeler

That was indeed what I was talking about. I have lost faith in 'the political way': we'll not be able to make any European country or the USA entirely White with a voting ballot. We'll need to organise somewhere, and then either secede, or make a grab for power.
I didn't mean to say we should write all of them off yet. I merely meant that certain groups in 'the movement' are so eager to recruit, that they accept the wrong people (the Aryan Nations, for example). It's really no wonder the racialist movement has such an image-problem.
That is exactly what I think we should do.
Recruit filtering is very important; the Aryan Nations-project got infiltrated by government agents, which is something we'll have to prevent at any cost.

Stríbog;"Actually, the separate subraces are products of Nature. The artificial umbrella 'White' mentality is a construct".
Moody Lawless; Illogical. If subraces exist, then they must be subs- of a race; that is what sub-race means. The subraces like Nordics, are not subraces of the Negro race, are they?
No, the Nordics are a White subrace; therefore the White race is a product of Nature if the subraces are,
Stribog; "I know some blacks that are more intelligent and upright than a lot of Anglo-Celtic trash I have seen".
ML; I am not even going to dignify that remark with the hundreds of epithets that jostle in my mind as I read it. It is enough for me to know that this remark of yours will haunt you later when you think more deeply about things.
Stribog; "To say someone is better just because of the color of their skin defeats the whole point of racial biology".
ML; Our conception of Race goes far beyond shallow skin-colour - it is the anti-Racists who try and reduce Race to skin-colour.
Stribog; "It's about the statistics; which populations are better at what. Sure there are smart blacks and stupid whites. I can respect the decent blacks while recognizing the general trends. I also have no tolerance for some trailer-dwelling redneck just because they are 'white.' I'd just as soon see them deported.
ML; There are only "lies, damn lies and statistics.
You can manipulate statistics to suit yourself; what matters here is Race-Feeling, or Race-Soul.
What you said of 'red-necks' makes me want to vomit.
Again, I will respect this board by refraining from putting my feelings into words.
Let it be known that I am seething with anger at this moment, and so must log off ...
Tuesday, September 30th, 2003 #10
Siegfried Aurelius; "I did not say it was a flawed construct".
Moody Lawless; The term 'construct' is usually used by Deconstructionists to debunk Western Culture.
Siegfried; "If a Negro with an IQ of 100 ... loves his race and is willing to fight for it, I consider him 'superior' to the White race-traitor ..."
ML; That still does not make him RACIALLY SUPERIOR. Indeed, I would have even less sympathy for such a Negro as he would be dangerous to the survival of the White Race [let's face it, he would HAVE to take a White wife, wouldn't he?]
Siegfried; "At this point we need to form a sort of 'state within the state', just like the Jews did for centuries".
ML; I reject this as defeatist. I also regard the methods used by the Jews as revolting.
Siegfried; "If we do not want to sink to the level of the Negro, we will have to be harsh on the lower elements of our race".
ML; The White Race could never sink that low; I also object to adopting the enemy's vocabulary of 'White Trash' and 'Redneck' etc., I find such words as Traitorious.
