Q: Post Glimpse / Mini-Profiler log information to web api or webservice Is there any possibility to post Glimpse or Mini-Profiler log information to a web api / webservice in order to separate the logged data storing (saving to a database) part from the main application.
We would be able to capture Mini-Profiler logged data within the Application_EndRequest() but we can not use any asynchronous calls to post data into web api inside this method. Any help or advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks
DSR

A: Glimpse has an interface called IPersistenceStore that is used persist "logged data".
You could implement that interface and persist the data in any way you'd like.

A: You can do this with MiniProfiler by creating your own implementation of IStorage that will define your logic for storing and retrieving profiles into/from your api/webservice and set MiniProfiler.Settings.Storage to your implementation. You can also use MultiStorageProvider to define more than one storage location.

Q: Using Android Interface I am new on Android Programing. I am trying to make a count down program ,so I placed three textview to my screen. Now I want to change their position, but when i drag one of them to another location, the others gone random location. Is this a property which make easier designing, and how it uses ?
Sorry for my English.

A: The way the textviews are displayed depends on what layout they are wrapped in.
The 2 most common layouts are LinearLayouts and RelativeLayouts.
Linear Layouts arrange the linearly in either a horizontal direction, or a vertical direction.
e.g.
LinearLayout Vertical orientation
---View 1----
---View 2----
---View 3----
LinearLayout Horizontal orientation
---View 1--- ---View 2--- ---View 3---
RelativeLayouts arrange a view based on on the position of other views. For example you can say layout view 1 to the left of view 2, and above view 3. And layout view 3 at the bottom of the parent. It can get quite complicated.
I recommend you do some reading on android layouts. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html

Global democracy and UN Parliamentary Assembly discussed in Vancouver
Secretary-General of international campaign visits the city
The establishment of a global body of elected representatives and global democratization occupied center stage at meetings last week on the occasion of a visit by the Secretary-General of the Campaign for a UN Parliamentary Assembly, Andreas Bummel from Germany, to the city of Vancouver,

on Canada's west coast. At a public event on Sunday, hosted by the Vancouver branch of the World Federalist Movement – Canada, Mr. Bummel argued that the spread of democracy in the world since the end of the Cold War is a "hollow victory." "National parliaments as key institutions of democracy are undermined by more and more important decision-making at the international level that is a result from global challenges," Mr. Bummel said. "The citizens need a direct voice in global affairs and this needs to be assured through an elected world assembly."
Meeting with federal MP Don Davies
The day before, members and special guests of the Vancouver branch of the world federalists met for an informal get-together with Mr. Bummel and Canadian parliamentarian and NDP Critic for International Trade,

federal MP Don Davies. The group's discussions focused around the international campaign to establish a UN Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA) and ways to advance it further. Mr. Davies, a longstanding supporter of the campaign, had just returned from a trip to the UN in New York. He stressed the importance of strengthening parliamentary involvement in international affairs. In what became a very constructive exchange of ideas, Mr. Davies offered his continued support.
Debate with city councillors
On July 6th, Vancouver Deputy Mayor Andrea Reimer had invited Mr. Bummel and local world federalists Blake MacLeod and Larry Kazdan to join her at City Hall for a special information session with city councillors. After a brief presentation by Mr. Bummel, and his additional comments on how municipal leaders might participate in the formation of, and the ongoing activities within the UNPA construct, Ms. Reimer and councillors questioned Mr. Bummel and shared their own thoughts in that regard. Referencing the Millennium Development Goals among other things, Ms. Reimer pointed out that international agenda-setting had significant impact on local governments, but that councillors hardly have any influence on the process. There was agreement that the question of how to involve them better, should be also explored in the context of establishing a new global assembly. As of the meeting, half of Vancouver's councillors now support the Campaign for a UN Parliamentary Assembly.
Supported since coordinated launch
Canadian world federalists have been involved in the Campaign for a UN Parliamentary Assembly since the coordinated launch in major cities around the world in 2007, one of which took place in Vancouver. "This visit of campaign Secretary-General Andreas Bummel to Canada marks five years, and celebrates the incredible gains made in raising awareness. As World Federalists we are pleased of the progress made by the campaign, and of our participation in support. We will continue to be significant partners in this important initiative to address the democratic deficit at the supra-national level, so that issues relating to the global commons might one day be addressed by the citizens of the world through direct representation by elected parliamentarians," said Mr. MacLeod.

LVS 3Q profit down 7pct, stays upbeat on Macau outlook
Oct 24, 2019 Newsdesk Latest News, Macau, Singapore, Top of the deck, World
Third-quarter net income attributable to shareholders of United States-based casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp was down 6.7 percent year on year. Such net income for the three months to September 30 was US$533 million, compared to US$571 million in the prior-year quarter.
Group-wide net revenue stood at US$3.25 billion, down 3.6 percent from a year earlier, said Las Vegas Sands in a press release on Wednesday.
The firm is parent to Macau casino operator Sands China Ltd, and also to Marina Bay Sands Pte Ltd, the operator of the Marina Bay Sands casino resort in Singapore. It also runs operations in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the United States.
In the third quarter, Sands China's net revenue was almost flat year-on-year, down 1.9 percent, at US$2.11 billion, compared to US$2.15 billion in the same quarter of 2018. Net income for the period remained flat at US$454 million, said the parent firm.
The overall Macau market has so far this year seen a mild year-on-year contraction in casino gross gaming revenue (GGR), driven by a significant dip in VIP rolling volume and VIP GGR. But Macau-market mass GGR including slots – which Las Vegas Sands describes as its strength – has had significant expansion.
At Marina Bay Sands, net revenues rose 3.5 percent year-on-year, to US$793 million, compared to US$766 million a year earlier.
Las Vegas Sands' chairman and chief executive Sheldon Adelson said in remarks accompanying the press release that the group had delivered "solid financial results" in the reporting quarter.
Mr Adelson said the group remained "enthusiastic" about its growth opportunities in Asia.
Mr Adelson noted in his comments, referring to the Macau market: "Next year, we will introduce approximately 2 million square feet [185,806 sq metres] of luxurious suite accommodations on the Cotai Strip with the opening of the Grand Suites at Four Seasons Macao and The Londoner Tower Suites. Additional tourism and entertainment amenities of The Londoner Macao will debut throughout 2020 and 2021."
The latter was a reference to a conversion of Sands Cotai Central to a property themed on architecture from the United Kingdom's capital city.
The group paid a recurring dividend of US$0.77 per common share, an increase of 2.7 percent on the US$0.75 per share paid in the third quarter a year earlier.
The board also announced a US$0.08 Increase in the company's recurring common stock dividend for the 2020 calendar year.
Asia performance
In the third quarter, adjusted property earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for Macau operations was flat at US$755 million, compared to US$754 million in the prior-year period.
At Marina Bay Sands, such adjusted quarterly property EBITDA was up 3.8 percent, at US$435 million, compared to US$419 million the year before.
In Macau, rolling chip volume at the Venetian Macao (pictured) was down 20.6 percent year-on-year in the third quarter. Such roll was US$5.89 billion, compared to just under US$7.43 billion a year earlier.
A Thursday note from JP Morgan Securities (Asia-Pacific) Ltd described Sands China's Macau-wide quarterly VIP performance as "dismal".
Analysts DS Kim, Jeremy An and Derek Choi wrote: "Its VIP GGR fell 22 percent quarter-on-quarter and 36 percent year-on-year, with big declines in rolling volumes (-11 percent quarter-on-quarter, -30 percent year-on-year)."
But the institution added: "The good news is that this segment doesn't really move the needle for Sands [China] anyway, as VIP (including direct) accounts for only 7 to 8 percent of its EBITDA."
Andrew Lee and Lois Zhou of Jeffries Group LLC noted in a Wednesday memo that there had been "ongoing VIP weakness with rebound uncertainty, and Sands Cotai Central renovations impacting earnings".
But the Jeffries analysts added there had been a "positive" in the premium mass segment, which had "recovered from second-quarter 2019 weakness with management shifting more tables from base mass".
During the reporting period, non-rolling chip drop at the Venetian Macao was up 7.6 percent year-on-year, at US$2.34 billion, compared to just under US$2.18 billion a year earlier.
Slot handle at the Venetian Macao leapt 23.4 percent year-on-year, to US$996 million, from US$807 million.
The trend was similar in the other Macau properties operated by Sands China, with rolling chip volume at the Parisian Macao down 24.8 percent, but its non-rolling chip drop up 7.3 percent from the prior-year period.
At Marina Bay Sands, third-quarter rolling chip volume was up 2.4 percent year-on-year, at just under US$7.27 billion, compared to US$7.09 billion in the prior-year period.
Non-rolling chip drop there was up 4.6 percent judged annually, at US$1.42 billion, compared to nearly US$1.36 billion in the third quarter of 2018.
Slot handle at Marina Bay Sands was down 3.7 percent year-on-year, at US$3.49 billion, compared to just over US$3.62 billion a year earlier.
A filing by Sands China to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange gave some comments by CEO Mr Adelson from the group's earnings call.
He noted: "We remain steadfast in our belief that Macau is the best market in the world with respect to the continued deployment of our capital."

Rwanda: Rwanda Women's Network brings hope to rural women (by Pius Sawa, for Farm Radio Weekly in Kenya)
Sawa Pius | November 15, 2010
Julian Bapfakurera lives in Kinyinga village, Gasabo district in Rwanda. She was legally married to her husband. Then he married a second wife. But Rwandan laws do not recognize polygamy as a form of marriage, so the second marriage was not legal.
Her husband later died. He gave everything, including the land she was farming, to his second wife. Ms. Bapfakurera was left with nothing. She received nothing from the local institution which deals with land and property issues. Her co-wife had befriended and bribed the officials.
But now, as a member of the Village of Hope initiative run by the Rwanda Women's Network, Ms. Bapfakurera has successfully reclaimed her rights.
Odeth Kantengwa is the coordinator for the Rwanda Women's Network. The organization trains community paralegals across the entire country. The Network educates them on existing land laws, most of which can be of benefit to women.
Ms. Bapfakurera approached the community paralegals for assistance. They accompanied her to talk to the local officials. The paralegal team explained to the officials that Ms. Bapfakurera was entitled to her husband's land and other property. The paralegal team carried a copy of the laws, which they quoted. The case was resolved in Ms. Bapfakurera's favour. She is now a happy woman.
Ms. Kantengwa says, "We have the land law, law on inheritance, law on succession and law on land legislation." All these laws support grassroots women who farm as their main source of livelihood. But many women are not aware of the laws. This is why the group established a program to train paralegals.
The paralegal training is offered to rural people, so that they can understand the law. All paralegals are community members. They also receive training on gender-based violence. This is directly linked to the land problems many rural women face. In turn, the paralegals educate other communities.
According to Ms. Kantengwa, this knowledge and awareness has created a big challenge for the people working in land institutions. She says, "Women can stand up and point out the laws [when] there is a dispute."
Ms. Kantengwa acknowledges that government support has brought great hope to rural farmers in Rwanda, a country with unique land issues. For example, the government set up a land consolidation team. The team classifies the country into regions of specific crops. Through radio and community groups, the paralegals trained by Rwanda Women's Network inform the farmers about the right crop for their region.
After the genocide, many refugees returned. They want to settle on the land, which results in land disputes. The land consolidation team plays a part in settling such disputes. All these initiatives are aimed at supporting rural farmers in Rwanda – most of whom are women.

Q: how to check if foreign key exists in other table before adding a record I know there are questions with answers that sound the same, but I have checked them, and I can't anything answering my question.
I have a recipes table, which has "chef_id" and "category_id" columns.
Then I have a chefs table, with "id" and "name" columns, and the categories table, with also "id" and "name" columns.
When I insert a new recipe and I have to add the chef_id and category_id, they need to exist already, otherwise, it should tell me to add the chef and the new category before I add the recipe.
How and where should I check that? I am working with SQL PDO. This is what I've got so far:
functions.php
function add_recipe($name =':name',
                   $categories_id=':categories_id',
                   $chef_id=':chef_id') {

         include 'db_connection.php';
    try {
        $sql = "INSERT INTO recipes(name, categories_id, chef_id) "
            . "VALUES (:name, :categories_id, :chef_id)";

        if(chef_id and category_id exist) {
            then execute the query;
        }

        $results = $conn->prepare($sql);
        $results->bindParam(':name', $name, PDO::PARAM_STR, 100);
        $results->bindParam(':categories_id', $categories_id, PDO::PARAM_INT);
        $results->bindParam(':chef_id', $chef_id, PDO::PARAM_INT);

    if($results->execute()) {
      echo '1 row has been inserted';
    }

    $conn = null;

    } catch(PDOException $e) {
        echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage() . '<br />';
        return false;
    }
  return true;

}

The only thing I can think of being the right one is SQL CHECK Constraint.... but I hope it is not this because I am finding quiet difficult to understand how it works...
Thank you!

A: You create a stored procedure in MySql instead, to avoid multiple round trips to check database.
I'm going to use pseudo code, because in a phone right now:
  CREATE FUNCTION create_receipt(p_name, p_chef, p_category)
  {
     int i_chef_id
     int i_category_id

     -- try to get chef_id if exist
     SELECT INTO i_chef_id
                 chef_id
     FROM chefs
     WHERE chef = p_chef

     if i_chef_id IS NULL {
        -- create new chef and get new created id
        INSERT chef  values (p_chef)

        SELECT INTO i_chef_id
                    chef_id
        FROM chefs
        WHERE chef = p_chef
     }

     if not exist category {
        INSERT category values(category)
     }

     INSERT receipt  (name, i_chef_id, i_category_id)
  }

Hamburger with Fries. WHO has released the REPLACE guidelines, to eliminate industrially-produced trans-fatty acids from food suplly.
Industrially-produced trans-fats may give food a longer shelf life, but each year they also lead to the death of more than 500,000 people from cardiovascular and heart disease, according to the United Nations health agency.
Now, the World Health Organization (WHO) has released guidance which is hopes will help make it possible to eliminate these harmful compounds altogether, by 2023.
On Monday, the agency called on all governments to adopt the REPLACE guidelines, which is a step-by-step guide to "eliminate industrially-produced trans-fatty acids from the food supply," according to WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
Review dietary sources of industrially-produced trans-fats and how they can be substituted.
Legislate, or change regulations to eliminate industrially-produced trans-fats.
Assess and monitor trans-fats content in the food supply and changes in how people consume trans-fats.
Create heightened awareness of the negative health impact of trans-fats among policy makers, producers, suppliers, and the public.
Industrially-produced trans fats are commonly-found in hardened vegetable fats, such as margarine and ghee, and often in snack, baked and fried foods.
While manufacturers have sought to increase the shelf-life of foods by using them, healthier alternatives that would not affect taste or cost are available, says WHO.
"Implementing the six strategic actions in the REPLACE package will help achieve the elimination of trans fat, and represent a major victory in the global fight against cardiovascular disease," said the WHO chief.
Michael Bloomberg, WHO's Global Ambassador for Noncommunicable Diseases and former New York City Mayor, recalled that a comprehensive approach to tobacco control over the past decade, had produced enormous health benefits, adding that a "similar approach to trans-fat can help us make that kind of progress against cardiovascular disease, another of the world's leading causes of preventable death."
Elimination of industrially-produced trans fats has been a priority target of WHO's strategic plan, which will guide WHO's work over the next five years.
The global elimination of industrially-produced trans fats will also contribute to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of reducing premature death from noncommunicable diseases by a third, said the agency."Why should our children have such an unsafe ingredient in their foods?" Mr. Tedros said in conclusion.
People everywhere need to cut down on their consumption of artery-clogging fatty foods, the World Health Organization (WHO) is urging, in a new report released on Friday.

The problem of choosing efficient algorithms and good admissible orders for computing Gröbner bases in noncommutative algebras is considered. Gröbner bases are an important tool that make many problems in polynomial algebra computationally tractable. However, the computation of Gröbner bases is expensive, and in noncommutative algebras is not guaranteed to terminate. The algorithm, together with the order used to determine the leading term of each polynomial, are known to affect the cost of the computation, and are the focus of this thesis. A Gröbner basis is a set of polynomials computed, using Buchberger's algorithm, from another set of polynomials. The noncommutative form of Buchberger's algorithm repeatedly constructs a new polynomial from a triple, which is a pair of polynomials whose leading terms overlap and form a nontrivial common multiple. The algorithm leaves a number of details underspecified, and can be altered to improve its behavior. A significant improvement is the development of a dynamic dictionary matching approach that efficiently solves the pattern matching problems of noncommutative Gröbner basis computations. Three algorithmic alternatives are considered: the strategy for selecting triples (selection), the strategy for removing triples from consideration (triple elimination), and the approach to keeping the set interreduced (set reduction). Experiments show that the selection strategy is generally more significant than the other techniques, with the best strategy being the one that chooses the triple with the shortest common multiple. The best triple elimination strategy ignoring resource constraints is the Gebauer-Müller strategy. However, another strategy is defined that can perform as well as the Gebauer-Müller strategy in less space. The experiments also show that the admissible order used to determine the leading term of a polynomial is more significant than the algorithm. Experiments indicate that the choice of order is dependent on the input set of polynomials, but also suggest that the length lexicographic order is a good choice for many problems. A more practical approach to chosing an order may be to develop heuristics that attempt to find an order that minimizes the number of overlaps considered during the computation.

Q: Phrase search for multi-word synonyms in Elasticsearch Is it possible to make phrase searches for multi-word synonyms in Elasticsearch?
Let's say I have this synonym:
strip steak bacon, ssb, strip-steak bacon

And this text in a document:
Kevin burgdoggen turkey, spare ribs pancetta pastrami drumstick strip steak bacon beef ribs pork.
Jowl sirloin tenderloin hamburger alcatra short loin biltong cow doner ribeye tri-tip sausage bacon
capicola pork. Filet mignon meatloaf shoulder cupim tongue meatball. Shankle cow strip steak tail pig
buffalo pork picanha cupim porchetta kielbasa beef. Ground round pork loin filet mignon turducken.
Beef pancetta buffalo strip steak, ground round salami flank porchetta hamburger chicken turducken
venison sirloin pastrami.

I query the index for ssb plain and simple:
"query": {
    "match": {
      "body": "all the ssb are belong to us"
    }
}

Then I want it to be interpreted as:
all the "strip steak bacon" are belong to us

Otherwise I will get the results and highlights based on all words (all, the, strip, steak, bacon, are, belong, to, us).
Is this even possible to do? I have tried to find docs on this, but they all go the other way using directional synonyms (strip steak bacon => ssb). Now I am seriously considering adding it to my application logic instead of doing it in Elasticsearch, and replacing ssb's in the query manually which feels like a really bad idea.

'Ferdinand,' 'Jumanji,' 'Last Jedi' Win at 1st PETA "Oscats" for CG Animals
Seth MacFarlane Signs Major Overall Deal with NBCUniversal
Fox Developing 'Temporary Humans' Toon Produced by Will Arnett
Canadian Animation Veteran Blair Kitchen Passes Away at 43
A new industry recognition with a message has entered the annual awards season, as PETA's Animals in Film and Television Division has announced the winners of its first-ever Oscats — awards honoring the movies and moviemakers of 2017 who promoted kindness to animals in their stories and use of CGI.
The stand-out film selections include Fox/Blue Sky's Ferdinand, which won Best Animated Film for its kind-hearted titular character; Sony's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (I, II), taking Best Computer-Generated Imagers for creating realistic, fully digital animals; and Disney/Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a double winner with both Best Live-Action Film and Best Original Screenplay for standout moments such as Finn and Rose's liberation of the fathiers used for racing, and Chewbacca's decision not to eat a porg. Bong Joon Ho's Okja won the Pigs' Choice award, with young Ahn Seo-hyun receiving the Rising Star honor for her character's mission to save the "super-pig."
Best Actor was a tie between Andy Serkis for his brilliant portrayal of Caesar in War for the Planet of the Apes and Doug Jones for his emotive performance in The Shape of Water as an abused captive creature — helmer Guillermo de Toro also won the award for Best Director. Frances McDormand won Best Actress for the moment in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri when she comes to the rescue of a bug who's stuck on his back.
A full list of winners is available here.
"From animal rights messages in sci-fi blockbusters to motion-capture performances that kept live animals off film sets, Hollywood was kinder than ever in 2017," says PETA SVP Lisa Lange. "PETA's Oscats honor the people and projects that helped audiences see all animals as sensitive beings who deserve our respect."

The charges against Shaye provoked immediate controversy and were sharply condemned by local and international press freedom organizations, who cast his arrest as politically motivated. In a statement last August, the human rights group Amnesty International called Shaye's detention "arbitrary" and urged that "the conviction be set aside and he should be released."
Political pressure from activists and tribal leaders initially pushed Yemen's then-president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, toward pardoning Shaye. But the opposition of the Obama administration convinced Saleh to abandon the plans. In February 2011, Obama personally raised the issue with Saleh in a phone call that the White House acknowledged in a statement. "President Obama expressed concern over the release of Abd-Ilah al-Shai, who had been sentenced to five years in prison for his association with AQAP," said the Feb. 2, 2011, statement, using an alternate spelling of Shaye's name.
Hadi had said he planned to secure Shaye's release, telling a group of journalists at a meeting with United Nations officials May 6 that he'd be released soon. But Yemeni officials said later that the release was delayed after U.S. officials objected.
As a condition of his release, Shaye will be prohibited from leaving Sanaa for two years. Nevertheless, many Yemeni journalists and local press freedom organizations responded to the news with jubilance, hailing Hadi's actions and celebrating Shaye's freedom.
Shaye's release "is a victory for common values of media freedom, justice and human rights," said a statement from the Freedom Foundation, a Sanaa-based press freedom organization headed by Yemeni journalist Khaled al Hammadi. "Especially since President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi ordered the release of Shaye despite all the American pressures on him to keep him in prison."

Bill Text - AB-2655 Bail: jurisdiction.
An act to amend Section 1305 of the Penal Code, relating to bail.
AB 2655, Weber. Bail: jurisdiction.
Existing law generally regulates the provision of bail or bond, including forfeiture, vacation of forfeiture, and exoneration of bail or bond. Existing law requires the court to declare bail to be forfeited if, without sufficient excuse, a defendant fails to appear as specified. Existing law denies the court jurisdiction to declare a forfeiture and requires the bail to be released of all obligations under the bond if the case is dismissed or if no complaint is filed within 15 days from the date of arraignment.
This bill would authorize an extension of the court's jurisdiction to declare a forfeiture and authority to release bail for not more than 90 days from the date of the arraignment if the arraignment is properly continued to allow the prosecutor time to file the complaint or if the defendant requests the extension in writing or in open court.
(D) Any other occasion prior to the pronouncement of judgment if the defendant's presence in court is lawfully required.
(E) To surrender himself or herself in execution of the judgment after appeal.
(2) (A) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), except as provided in subparagraph (B), the court shall not have jurisdiction to declare a forfeiture and the bail shall be released of all obligations under the bond if the case is dismissed or if no complaint is filed within 15 days from the date of arraignment.
(i) The prosecutor requests in writing or in open court that the arraignment be continued to allow the prosecutor time to file the complaint.
(ii) The defendant requests the extension in writing or in open court.
(b) (1) If the amount of the bond or money or property deposited exceeds four hundred dollars ($400), the clerk of the court shall, within 30 days of the forfeiture, mail notice of the forfeiture to the surety or the depositor of money posted instead of bail. At the same time, the court shall mail a copy of the forfeiture notice to the bail agent whose name appears on the bond. The clerk shall also execute a certificate of mailing of the forfeiture notice and shall place the certificate in the court's file. If the notice of forfeiture is required to be mailed pursuant to this section, the 180-day period provided for in this section shall be extended by a period of five days to allow for the mailing.
(2) If the surety is an authorized corporate surety, and if the bond plainly displays the mailing address of the corporate surety and the bail agent, then notice of the forfeiture shall be mailed to the surety at that address and to the bail agent, and mailing alone to the surety or the bail agent shall not constitute compliance with this section.
(A) The clerk fails to mail the notice of forfeiture in accordance with this section within 30 days after the entry of the forfeiture.
(B) The clerk fails to mail the notice of forfeiture to the surety at the address printed on the bond.
(C) The clerk fails to mail a copy of the notice of forfeiture to the bail agent at the address shown on the bond.
(c) (1) If the defendant appears either voluntarily or in custody after surrender or arrest in court within 180 days of the date of forfeiture or within 180 days of the date of mailing of the notice if the notice is required under subdivision (b), the court shall, on its own motion at the time the defendant first appears in court on the case in which the forfeiture was entered, direct the order of forfeiture to be vacated and the bond exonerated. If the court fails to so act on its own motion, then the surety's or depositor's obligations under the bond shall be immediately vacated and the bond exonerated. An order vacating the forfeiture and exonerating the bond may be made on terms that are just and do not exceed the terms imposed in similar situations with respect to other forms of pretrial release.
(2) If, within the county where the case is located, the defendant is surrendered to custody by the bail or is arrested in the underlying case within the 180-day period, and is subsequently released from custody prior to an appearance in court, the court shall, on its own motion, direct the order of forfeiture to be vacated and the bond exonerated. If the court fails to so act on its own motion, then the surety's or depositor's obligations under the bond shall be immediately vacated and the bond exonerated. An order vacating the forfeiture and exonerating the bond may be made on terms that are just and do not exceed the terms imposed in similar situations with respect to other forms of pretrial release.
(3) If, outside the county where the case is located, the defendant is surrendered to custody by the bail or is arrested in the underlying case within the 180-day period, the court shall vacate the forfeiture and exonerate the bail.
(A) The bail is given prior notice of the reinstatement.
(B) The bail has not surrendered the defendant.
(1) The defendant is deceased or otherwise permanently unable to appear in the court due to illness, insanity, or detention by military or civil authorities.
(2) The absence of the defendant is without the connivance of the bail.
(A) The defendant is temporarily disabled by reason of illness, insanity, or detention by military or civil authorities.
(B) Based upon the temporary disability, the defendant is unable to appear in court during the remainder of the 180-day period.
(C) The absence of the defendant is without the connivance of the bail.
(2) The period of the tolling shall be extended for a reasonable period of time, at the discretion of the court, after the cessation of the disability to allow for the return of the defendant to the jurisdiction of the court.
(f) In all cases where a defendant is in custody beyond the jurisdiction of the court that ordered the bail forfeited, and the prosecuting agency elects not to seek extradition after being informed of the location of the defendant, the court shall vacate the forfeiture and exonerate the bond on terms that are just and do not exceed the terms imposed in similar situations with respect to other forms of pretrial release.
(g) In all cases of forfeiture where a defendant is not in custody and is beyond the jurisdiction of the state, is temporarily detained, by the bail agent, in the presence of a local law enforcement officer of the jurisdiction in which the defendant is located, and is positively identified by that law enforcement officer as the wanted defendant in an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury, and the prosecuting agency elects not to seek extradition after being informed of the location of the defendant, the court shall vacate the forfeiture and exonerate the bond on terms that are just and do not exceed the terms imposed in similar situations with respect to other forms of pretrial release.
(h) In cases arising under subdivision (g), if the bail agent and the prosecuting agency agree that additional time is needed to return the defendant to the jurisdiction of the court, and the prosecuting agency agrees to the tolling of the 180-day period, the court may, on the basis of the agreement, toll the 180-day period within which to vacate the forfeiture. The court may order tolling for up to the length of time agreed upon by the parties.
(i) As used in this section, "arrest" includes a hold placed on the defendant in the underlying case while he or she is in custody on other charges.
(j) A motion filed in a timely manner within the 180-day period may be heard within 30 days of the expiration of the 180-day period. The court may extend the 30-day period upon a showing of good cause. The motion may be made by the surety insurer, the bail agent, the surety, or the depositor of money or property, any of whom may appear in person or through an attorney.
(k) In addition to any other notice required by law, the moving party shall give the prosecuting agency a written notice at least 10 court days before a hearing held pursuant to subdivision (f), (g), or (j), as a condition precedent to granting the motion.


Ok, so I got the excruciating pain under my right and left rib cage all but gone now and the runs the bathroom have stopped but I'm still frequently feeling sever abdominal pain as the day wears on and bloating by the end of the day. I've also noticed all my other fibro and CFS gets worse with it. So I initially went of my ROTTATION diet of FOIDS that I tested possative to being sensitive to (I had not thought it was a big deal as I avoided most of them anyway and supposedly rotating would help build a tolerance). I also quit coffee cold turkey. So far it's been huge. I don't know what has made the difference, I suspect coffee as I've come off of it before and felt better (pre fibro pain days) I don't drink milk so coffee and tee are my primary way off adding milk to my diet. For now I'll just avoid them all. My son was diagnosed as lactose intolerant when he was young and I've always wondered if that's why I never liked dairy.

Q: List of tables and list of figures is behaving differently I have got a strange issue within my list of tables.
I made these changes to the commands, which are actually from the template I received.
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{section}-\arabic{figure}}
\makeatletter \@addtoreset{figure}{section} \makeatother

\renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{section}-\arabic{table}}
\makeatletter \@addtoreset{table}{section} \makeatother

and changed settings at the appendix like the following:
\appendix
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{A.\arabic{subsection}}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesubsection-\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\thesubsection-\arabic{table}}
\setcounter{figure}{0}
\setcounter{table}{0}
\section*{Appendix}

So far it is actually doing what it is supposed to do but there is an ugly inconsistency.
List of tables

List of figures

I tried to insert a space as \s \, \hspace at several locations in the command to somehow solve the problem but have not been successful.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you
EDIT:
Excerpt of .lot
\contentsline {table}{\numberline {A.4-1}{\ignorespaces THIS WHERE THE CAPTION IS \relax }}{86}{table.caption.1487}%

Excerpt of .lof
\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {A.1-1}{\ignorespaces THIS WHERE THE CAPTION IS\relax }}{59}{figure.caption.225}%

A: The problem is solved by adding this command to the preamble
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@figure{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{3em}}% 3em instead of 2.3em
\let\l@table\l@figure
\makeatother

Found at this questions after the correct search terms where mentioned in the comments.
List of figures and list of tables overlaps figure/table indices with proceeding text when double figures are used

Cell:
        can be poked,
        Must reach firing threshold before firing
	firing tank is filled up faster when cell is poked
	baseline firing rate is determined by the replenishment rate and the threshold
        the more pokes received from a certain direction the more responsive this cell becomes to the pokes
        can be killed if it pokes too much upper frequency limit before the cell physicaly dies system wide
        can poke multiple cells simultaneously
        poking depletes the surrounding resources slightly. Cell has maximum recover speed
        has a location
        is more affected by pokes of close by axons
        can have up to 100,000 dendrites
        dendrites become more receptive the more pokes received.
        cells have a baseline firing rate. more stimulation from surrounding cells causes faster firing

Axon:
        has beginning
        has end
	uses resources in surrounding regions along the axon to propagate impulse along its length

Concept Reward:
        Reward is global. All cells receive reward or all cells do not receive reward

Concept Starting energy:
        we start with a set amount of energy that is external but is delivered to the cells that require it

Task:
        Some metrics upon which more energy is afforded to the cells
        the task is given through interface neurons? not sure
        the task will not be programmed in the loobbe design.
        what triggers specialization?

Success:
        level
        adaptation
        specialization
        self preservation

Resources:
        Resources at a one supply location diffuse like a salt diffuses in water
	defuse speed is a system wide variable

Physical limit:
        Each cell occupies a finite amount of space. Each cell cannot grow beyond a certain size limit
        the total size of the cells cannot exceed a certain limit

System input:
        resources
        task (impulses)

System output:
        impulses

Interpreter:
        interprets impulses in a specified way that is not formally known to the cells

All modules have state methods so that the internal workings of the lobe can be  viewed

Managing communication
	 * Management of who pokes who when cannot be designed hastily. There are
	 * two problems that must be adderessed. The first is the atomicity of
	 * firing. The second is program complexity.
	 *
	 * Atomicuty of firing is needed to ensure that when an axon fires, all its
	 * target cells recieve the impulse within approxmatly the same time.
	 * This is neccessary because the behavior of cells is largely dependant on
	 * the timing of the firining. Much information is carried in the frequency
	 * of firing in many types of neurons
	 *
	 * Program complexity must also be considered since the human brain contains
	 * more than 1 billion neurons. Each with up to 100 thousand target neurons
	 * at the terminal end of each axon. We should avoid creating 1 billion
	 * linked lists, each with 100 thousand items to be updated in every
	 * iteration of the program

Neuron
	Monitors
		Dendrite connections - random start, spread around area of cell head. More receptive to neurons
			that fire in sync with this neuron. Slowly goes back to original strength in decay
			pattern if pattern not repeated
		Glucose - energy for cell
		Oxygen - reward
		Electrolyts - Cells send impulses using electrolytes. impulses bring cell closer to firing
		ATP - ATP to be used by electrolyte pumps to restore baseline voltage

	Controls
		Impulse - by depolarising impulse travels along axon
		Electrolyte pumps - use glucose to restablish nominal membrane potential after nuron fires
		Suicide - Programmed cell death. Occurs when resources run low, or cell is over burdended
		Axon growth - Random. length and direction and connections assigned initially
		Synapses - nurons that fire together, wire together. Nurons that fire apart, wire apart

Lobe
	Monitors
		Output neurons - "motor neurons" lobe external connections connect to members of lobe
		Resource levels - has a way of measuring resources floating around cells
		Task - file passed, no specific format

	Controls
		Glucose - provide glucose to the cells in the lobe
		Input neurons - Sensory neurons that get singals from outside of lobe

I had been off of work, blacklisted and had many other personal problems. I prayed often . well long story short the sale of my son's house whom I am trying to keep up the mortgage payments was relieved from foreclosure on almost the last day it was to go for sale. I prayed the rosary and think this is what did it. I am very sorry because I am not sure. I prayed an a lot. So I am also sorry I am just now saying thank you for the rosary. However, I did thank God I ask for forgiveness. I still have not found any job that even comes close to the mortgage being paid on time. But I am still thankful and hope and to be totally blessed in the house matter. .
It was 22 years ago when I was 15 years old. I had bad sledding accident. I did hit a tree and I have ended up in the hospital for over two months. I had damaged one of my lungs and broke colar bone. Fortunately doctors have managed to put me back together. However only after a while it has emerged that I cant fully move my right arm - this with colar bone broken. One of the nerv connections has been broken as well and it require long and complicated repair process or I wouldnt be able to move my arm fully. I have been waiting for my operation. Doctor said that it is imposible that that type of damage would heal itself without intevention. I did pray alot rosay with the intention to avoide this operation. When date for my operation finaly come - doctor decided to do some final tests. Surprisingly he notice that nerve is working back again however I will require a lot of exercises to get my arm fully working. Today no one can notice anything I have fully oeprational arm.
I belive that it happen through rosary. I have avoided multiple surgical operations. Thanks be to God.
During the 2009 Lenten season, I promised to pray the Rosary daily and then have grown to love the prayer so much that now I must pray it daily.
I have received many signal graces and am now firmly convinced of its power through the intercession of our Lady.
One of the most amazing signal graces I have received occurred when I got laid off from work last October. At the height of this tough recession, I was devastated to lose my job but when I realized that I got the "pink slip" on October the 7th (which is the Feast of our Lady of the Rosary) my fears were calmed. I had faith that it was a signal grace from the Blessed Virgin Mary telling me that she would be with me and intercede on my behalf.
Just two weeks after I got laid off and in spite of these difficult economic times, I was shocked to get two job offers making twice as much as I made at my previous job ! It is truly a Godincidence that I got laid off on October 7th, the most important feast of the Holy Rosary. What an incredible signal grace !
Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ and the intercession of our Lady who will always lead us to her Son.
My prayers have been answered when my husband acknowledged that he would seek help for mental and alcohol problems. Our Blessed Mother has protected our family and for weeks, I've been living with the most amazing husband!!! He is the sweetest, most kind and is trying his hardest to make up for lost time. I had lost all hope and thought I had to file for divorce, but I kept reminding God that He hates divorce, and asked for Him to breathe life in our marriage. It has been a 180 degree turn around! Medications have helped tremendously and I don't recognize but am tickled pink about my husband's behaviour! Thank you Mother Mary!!! Thanks St. Jude, St. Faustina, St. Josepha, and all the saints in heaven! And MOST OF ALL, THANK YOU JESUS FOR LOVING US SO DEEPLY TO BEGIN HEALING OUR MARRIAGE! PRAISED TO YOU JESUS CHRIST!
yrs.that night when I heard the news they told me that she was in a coma and showing no brain activity.She and I were very close and I was very alarmed and saddend.I had prayed the Rosary at very emergency type situations in my life before that, and had never been left unaided so I imediatly thought of it and got mine out and prayed it with all my heart praying for my friend that she would live and be set free.I was even high at the time.She was in that coma for 3 days, no brain activity.sometime during the 3rd day she woke up.She spent 5 wks in the hospital recoving.I have no doubt that Mother Mary and Jesus saved my friend.She is now clean and sober and living with her children.Jesus never abandoned me even in the depths of my sin.And because of his love and the love of our Mother my friend is alive and well and free, and I am also free.
I wanted to share this story so that others may realize that signal graces are surely given to those who pray the rosary. I have to start by telling you that I only started to pray the rosary yesterday. I didnt even know how! I looked it up on the internet and followed online prompts. I believe I am being drawn by our Blessed Mother to pray the rosary. I have been doing alot of online research into why to pray the rosary, learning about many things. One thing I learned about was the brown scapular. It is said that one who wears it faithfully will be saved of damnation. I really was thinking that I should get some brown scapulars for my family and I to wear. Not as a lucky charm, mind you, but in an attempt to become more pure. I didnt think more of it, but later that day did pray the rosary for the first time.
The next day, as I was putting grocery bags away, which go above our dryer in a bag, what did I see hanging there?? The Brown Scapular!!!! My husband had hung it there after my sons first communion, because he had found it in our sons pants while doing laundry, and just hung it up there. I have noticed it before but really didnt think much of it...but this time it REALLY caught my attention! You see, normally the scapular was slightly hidden from view...and today it was clear as anything!! I believe this to be a signal grace!! There are no coincidences, only signal graces!! I feel so lucky to have been given one!
I was living life pretty much away from the church and religion, even though being brought up Catholic. At this point in my life I stated that I hated all religions. I cannot recall ever saying the rosary. To make this brief, I had miraculous series of events that lead me to say the rosary. I was alone at home, I barely had the mysteries memorized and decided that this time nothing was going to get in the way of me saying the rosary.
Recently, I had asked a question about where is evil and where does it live - where is it in man? I was just about to say the rosary and I noticed that it was suddenly like a spring day outside even though it was fall. I had to say the rosary without anymore interruptions. I started saying the Joyful Mysteries. It was either the 1st or 2nd mystery, when I heard a female voice ( I was alone) speaking - it was the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in person, on tv, or the movies. It was as if a gem/crystal/prism was speaking. All the facets were like rays of a voice but the voice sounded clear like one projected sound. I can only compare it to a mother speaking tenderly and lovingly to her newborn. And that is not even an accurate caparison. This voice said that out of hearts of men come evil and she repeated it. I did not say anything and I was not afraid or upset at all. I have to tell you that you would give up everything to hear this voice again and again.
I continued and when I got a the 3rd mystery a male voice spoke. It was a very powerful, strong, clear, direct, voice but not mean. It was like thunder or I can compare this voice to the "booms" you hear at the 4th of July fireworks - you know after the fireworks burst, then follows that explosion , white light, and boom - sound. Only this sound did not hurt the ears and was not uncomfortable in any way. Each word was a booming voice. The voice said, "I AM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD". You do not mess around with this voice.
This was just the beginning, in 2004, of many experiences for me. Thanks for stopping by and reading my true story of the rosary.
God bless you, and please, do yourself and your family a favor and say the rosary daily.

Class conflict in A Streetcar Named Desire
Categories: A Streetcar Named Desire
Class conflict is represented throughout the play, A Streetcar Named Desire in various ways through characters, symbols, ideas and language. Characters such as Blanche, Stella, Mitch and Stanley are used throughout the text to represent the upper and lower classes, as well as the conflict between the two classes. Symbols, ideas and language help to define the different classes as well as helping to represent the conflict between classes. The language (dialogue) of the characters, symbolic use of names, animal imagery and colour (clothes) and the ideas of cultural capital help to define what the lower and upper classes are.
" Class conflict in A Streetcar Named Desire "
A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams was written in 1947. The story takes place in New Orleans, and can be read as being during any year between May and September. The story revolves around Blanche Dubois and her conflict with Stanley Kowalski. Blanche's character represents the old aristocratic south and the upper class of the play through her manner and cultural capital (her education and sophisticated dialogue).
Proficient in: A Streetcar Named Desire
She's cultivated and bound by heritage (Belle Reve) and tradition. The upper class is associated with intellectual strength. Stanley represents the new industrial south and the lower class of the play through his job at the steel mill, use of slang and his ignorance.
His society is based on force and ingenuity. The lower class is associated with physical strength. From the beginning, the conflict between the two classes is prominent. The working class is predatory and survives and triumphs with two elements, which the upper class lacks, vitality and strength.
The conflict of class is evident and we see how Blanche and the old south are fragile, and it's only a matter of time before Stanley, the new south crushes it's opposition.
Class conflict is effectively represented through clothes and the symbolic use of colour and animal imagery. The conflict becomes evident during the first scene when we first meet Blanche and Stanley. Blanche is dressed in her white proper clothing ("…She is daintily dressed in a white suit with a fluffy bodice, necklace and ear-rings of pearl, white gloves and hat…" Scene One), whilst Stanley is dressed in dirty denim work clothes ("…roughly dressed in blue denim work clothes… carries his bowling jacket…" Scene One). Blanche is often dressed in white, pale, timid colours, whereas Stanley is dressed in bright bold colours. Stanley's bright colours overpowers Blanche's pale colours. Blanche is symbolised as the aristocratic moth and Stanley the common cave man. The symbol of colour helps the reader construct the inevitable doom of the fragile upper class (Blanche) by the strong lower class (Stanley). These symbols of colour and animal imagery related to each character, helps reinforce the conflict between the Old South (upper class) and the New South (lower class).
The language (dialogue) of each character and symbolic use of names help in constructing ideas of class conflict in this play. Blanche speaks in a quiet, refined voice and uses sophisticated language ("…- Only Poe! Only Mr Edgar Allan Poe! – could do it justice!" Scene One, Blanche). This constructs Blanche to be fragile and vulnerable, with the cultural capital of sophistication. Blanche uses her speech on a high level, searching for values and reflecting education in her manner. Stanley yells and hollers and uses unsophisticated language. ("[Bellowing]: Hey, there! Stella, Baby!" Scene One, Stanley) Stanley's speech is often dotted with exclamations and short, to the point sentences. Stanley uses his speech to express his wants, likes and dislikes. This further constructs Stanley as loud and strong. Blanche is shown to be singing throughout the text, which in turn aggravates Stanley. This further shows the conflict between the two characters through language (dialogue).
The use of names in this play helps in constructing the separate classes. The names Blanche Dubois and Stanley Kowalski help construct different representations of class. The name Blanche means white and creates the irony of Blanche not being as white and pure as her name represents. In contrast the name Stanley offers no specific meaning in relation to meaning in the play. Secondly the name Dubois sounds aristocratic, with a possible proud heritage, whereas the name Kowalski sounds more modern. A Dubois speaks softly and flittingly, as the name is pronounced, whereas a Kowalski speaks loudly and brutally as the name is said. Kowalski's enjoy loud, rowdy poker parties, whilst Dubois's wince and prefer teas, cocktail parties and luncheons. The names of these two characters help in constructing the conflict between the two classes. The dialogue of Blanche and Stanley and the symbolic use of names help to construct class conflict in the play, A Streetcar Named Desire.
Stella represents the old south being converted by the new south. Blanche fights for Stella to come back and be part of the old south again, accusing Stella of being blinded by desire for Stanley ("What you are talking about is brutal desire – just – Desire!" Scene Four, Blanche). Elysian fields is described as having an atmosphere of decay. This scenery is contrasted to the image of white pillars at Belle Reve. This contrast is to highlight the difference in the world Stella has chosen (lower class lifestyle), and the world she was brought up in (upper class lifestyle). Colour is used by Stanley to keep Stella part of the new south. ("…You showed me the snapshot of the place with the columns. I pulled you down of them columns and how you loved it, having them coloured lights going!" Scene Eight, Stanley). The class conflict between Blanche and Stanley is evident, through them trying to convert Stella.
The idea of cultural capital is important when discussing class in the text. Blanche, Stella and Mitch possess an aspect of cultural capital. Blanche and Stella have cultural capital through their education, manner and heritage. Mitch is seen to be in between the old and new south. He holds his own cultural capital, enjoying the finer things of life, like poetry and music. We see how Mitch feels at ease when he is with Blanche, because of his love for the arts. Blanche, Stella and Mitch are also quite polite and have that air of gentility. Alternately Stanley is the only 'main' character to be without cultural capital. He has no manners and is rough and tough ("Mr Kowalski is too busy making a pig of himself…" Scene eight, Stella). He doesn't value tradition or gentility. He values alcohol, violence and desire. Through cultural capital we see the conflict between the classes and their values.
The use of language in the play works effectively to define between the two classes. The lower class is associated with slang, whilst the upper class is associated with sophisticated language. The symbolic use of names, animal imagery and colour are important in also contrasting between the two classes. Finally the idea of cultural capital works in highlighting the class conflicts between the upper class or old south and the lower class or new south. In A Streetcar Named Desire the conflict of class is evident and we see how Blanche, the aristocratic south is fragile, and it's only a matter of time before Stanley, the industrial south destroys every shred of Blanche, the old south.

Languages after Brexit – How the UK speaks to the world
News Published on Tuesday, 05 December 2017 Parent Category: News
edited by Professor Mike Kelly HonFCIL
As negotiations to leave the European Union continue to dominate the news headlines, a new book which provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the situation for languages in the UK post-Brexit has just been published.
Described by Professor Naomi Segal of Birkbeck, University of London, as 'timely and urgent', Languages after Brexit is a collection of essays by prominent experts in various language-related fields.
The volume is edited by Emeritus Professor Mike Kelly HonFCIL, who, in his introduction, makes the point that the UK has always needed people who speak other languages and understand other cultures. He continues: 'Now that negotiations to leave the EU have begun, we have more need than ever of such people. Without them, our country will struggle to renegotiate its cultural and commercial relationships with the rest of Europe, and will struggle to build new relationships with other international partners.'
The collection includes chapters on translation and interpreting, community-based language teaching, and the increasing value of language and culture to business in post-Brexit Britain.
CIOL (the Chartered Institute of Linguists) has reported on the progress of Brexit from shortly before the referendum was held, seeking the views of its members, to the present, with articles in the membership magazine The Linguist, and on the website. We are delighted that many of the contributors to the volume have connections to CIOL, including the renowned linguist David Crystal HonFCIL and CIOL Vice-President; Campaign Director of Speak to the Future Bernardette Holmes; CIOL Vice-President Tim Connell FCIL; CIOL Chief Executive Ann Carlisle; and Director of Cambridge University's Language Centre Jocelyn Wyburd.
Languages after Brexit will appeal not only to students and scholars of this subject, but also to practitioners, policy makers and educators.
Languages after Brexit is published by Palgrave Macmillan and is available from Amazon, ISBN 9783319651682

Waco S photo
Work on the design of the first aircraft, which became the beginning of this series of aircraft, began in 1931. In view of the fact that in the 30-ies of the last century the biplane configuration was the most popular and inexpensive, the American air specialists decided to use it for the creation of the first model, while in most cases the biplanes were two or three local aircraft, the scope and The exploitation of which was seriously limited, the airmen from the Waco Aircraft Company intended to create a full-fledged multipurpose aircraft.

Get the Appearance Package on the Sport model, and it changes the RAV4's appearance quite dramatically, removing the spare tire hanging from the back and cleaning up the design.
The 2012 Toyota RAV4 remains a strong, refined choice for families, even though some of its design might be a blast from the past.
Of all the modern compact crossover models for 2012, the Toyota RAV4 remains one of the better picks its size for daily family-hauling needs. But looking at its conservative, traditional, faux-rugged SUV appearance, you might not expect that at all.
That's because the RAV4's design is an odd conglomeration of what SUVs were and where they're going, in terms of both style and layout; the design—with the spare tire hanging on a side-opening hatch—seemed a little confused when this generation was first launched for 2006. While the interior layout and roofline are along the same lines as those of fresh crossover designs, most of the RAV4 lineup also still bows to the most rugged SUV designs that were popular a decade or more ago—including that spare tire.
Although the RAV4 doesn't seem modern in appearance, it's fully up to class rivals in performance. The base 179-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is smooth, responsive, and has enough power to keep most drivers happy, while a 269-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 remains optional; as such, it has the ability to sprint with hot-rod-like authority or pull off astonishingly quick passes. All RAV4 models come with an automatic transmission—four-speed with the four-cylinder, five-speed with the V-6. In either case, the RAV4 is offered with either front- or four-wheel drive. The optional AWD system uses electronic control to send power rearward when slippage in front is detected, and offers a true 50/50 fixed power split with a 4WD Lock mode.
For such a tall, soft-riding vehicle, the 2012 Toyota RAV4 handles surprisingly well, yet its ride is by no means harsh. The interior of the 2010 Toyota RAV4 features an attractive two-tier instrument panel, good seats, a nice upright driving position, and plenty of storage spaces.
The RAV4 teeters between compact and mid-size, but in any case, it's one of the few vehicles of its stature to offer a third-row seat. The third row officially expands the RAV4's capacity to seven, but you certainly won't have much luck trying to get adults to ride in the RAV4's third row. For that, you'll need to move up to the larger Highlander. But the seat design doesn't eat up much if any cargo space; when they're not occupied by children, they stow nicely in a recessed area of the cargo floor. Small third row seats and cheapish interior materials are about all there is not to like inside. Otherwise, well designed seating, good seating comfort, and top-notch assembly quality, along with a tight, quiet cabin, the RAV4 has covers all the bases.
Three different trims of the 2012 Toyota RAV4 are offered—each with a choice of the four or V-6—so families are covered in seeking a RAV4 that's right, ranging from basic and fuel-efficient to luxurious or sporty and powerful. The base model includes a Lexus-like electroluminescent instrument panel, remote keyless entry, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power mirrors, three 12-volt outlets, ten cup holders, and cruise control. The top Limited model can be optioned like a luxury model, with leather seating areas, heated front seats, and the SUV-requisite rear seat DVD entertainment system to keep the kids entertained.
For 2012, sound systems have been completely revamped, and all models now include Bluetooth hands-free connectivity. With the new Display Audio systems, Bluetooth music streaming is also included, while in Limited models HD Radio with iTunes tagging, text-to-voice capability, and XM satellite radio are added. Also wrapped in is Toyota's Entune suite of services, with a range of data services and apps like Pandora streaming.
If you choose the right model, you can do without the external spare; a Sport Appearance Package remains available, creating a more carlike silhouette by deleting it. Just that one change, combined with some other minor changes, make the RAV4 look much more like the crossover wagon it is.
The 2012 Toyota RAV4 is a carlike crossover, dressed up to look a bit like a rugged SUV.
The RAV4 was actually one of the first car-like crossovers, yet its design has held on to those early days and appears as an odd conglomeration of what SUVs were and where they're going. With the spare tire hanging on a side-opening hatch—a little confused even when this generation was first launched for 2006—the RAV4 looks like a throwback in some ways, thoroughly modern in others.
Despite a modest redesign, a couple of years ago, which earned it a restyled grille and front bumper, improved fog light trims, and redesigned tail lights, the RAV4 kept its taller, more trucklike stance, as well as its side opening hatch and external spare--which seemed like an odd choice when this generation was launched in 2006. If you choose the right model, you can do without the external spare; a Sport Appearance Package remains available, creating a more carlike silhouette by deleting it. Just that one change, combined with some other minor changes, make the RAV4 look much more like the crossover wagon it is.
The interior layout is along the same lines as those of fresh crossover designs, with more in common with the larger Highlander, but the interior details are among the most dated of any current Toyota vehicle. It has a very upright, straightforward layout, but the uninterrupted swaths of hard plastic and chunky, almost bulbous details that bridge a line between where Toyota's cars and trucks were--or, where they were six or seven years ago.
The RAV4 is still one of the best-driving small crossovers, with perky powertrains and a responsive feel.
Although the RAV4 doesn't seem modern in appearance, it's fully up to class rivals in performance. The base 179-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is smooth, responsive, and has enough power to keep most drivers happy, while a 269-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 remains optional; as such, it has the ability to sprint with hot-rod-like authority or pull off astonishingly quick passes.
All RAV4 models come with an automatic transmission—four-speed with the four-cylinder, five-speed with the V-6. In either case, the RAV4 is offered with either front- or four-wheel drive. A manual gearbox is no longer available in any of the models. The optional AWD system uses electronic control to send power rearward when slippage in front is detected, and offers a true 50/50 fixed power split with a 4WD Lock mode.
Though off-road ability isn't a priority in the RAV4, its four-wheel-drive system is a bit more able than rival crossovers, capable of sending as much as 45 percent of torque to the back at up to 25 mph and including a 50/50 fixed power split in a 4WD Lock model--good for deep snow, or muddy two-tracks.
For such a tall, soft-riding vehicle, the 2012 Toyota RAV4 handles surprisingly well, yet its ride is by no means harsh; Sport models fix its tendency to plow hard into corners, but they give up some ride quality.
The RAV4 has a well-designed interior, although the third-row seat isn't quite adult-sized.
The RAV4 teeters between compact and mid-size, but in any case, it's one of the few vehicles of its stature to offer a third-row seat. And with well designed seating, good seating comfort, and top-notch assembly quality, along with a tight, quiet cabin, the RAV4 has covers all the bases. Some subpar interior materials remain our only significant gripes.
Front-seat comfort is good in the RAV4 for most drivers, although taller drivers will find the lower cushions a little short and lacking support. The second row is comfortable enough for adults, and folds forward neatly as well as reclines.
Cargo space in the RAV4 is quite impressive, with extra storage wells in the rear floor and a third row that folds completely flat. The side-opening rear door and rather tall cargo floor are features that family shoppers might not find as friendly as top-opening hatches.
The third row officially expands the RAV4's capacity to seven, but you certainly won't have much luck trying to get adults to ride in the RAV4's third row. For that, you'll need to move up to the larger Highlander. But the seat design doesn't eat up much if any cargo space; when they're not occupied by children, they stow nicely in a recessed area of the cargo floor. Small third row seats and cheapish interior materials are about all there is not to like inside. Otherwise, well designed seating, good seating comfort, and top-notch assembly quality, along with a tight, quiet cabin, the RAV4 has covers all the bases.
Sport models with the larger 18-inch wheels tend to ride a little harder and more vocally. Overall, the RAV4 rides well, without much road or wind noise.
Some lackluster safety ratings mean the 2012 RAV4 is near the back of the safety pack.
While the 2012 Toyota RAV4 has a great set of safety features, its crash-test results have been lackluster.
In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tests, the 2012 Toyota RAV4 earns top 'good' scores in all categories except roof strength, where it earns just 'acceptable.' And that keeps it from earning IIHS Top Safety Pick Status. In the federal government's NCAP tests, the RAV4 has only achieved three-star frontal protection, and a four-star side rating, for an overall rating of three stars.
We're referring to 2011 ratings, which the feds still hadn't officially carried them over for 2012 at the time of writing (the RAV4 is structurally and cosmetically unchanged).
Driver and front passenger front-seat-mounted side airbags and first- and second-row roll-sensing side airbags are included in all RAV4s, along with electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes. All-wheel drive, stability and traction control, and electric power steering come together in Toyota's VSC system. Models equipped with the third-row seat also come standard with Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) and Downhill Assist Control (DAC)—two features that are derived from what Toyota offers in its off-road-worthy vehicles and would come in quite handy for negotiating a steep, snowy driveway.
The feature list offers plenty for families on a budget.
The 2012 Toyota RAV4 is offered in three different trims—each with a choice of the four or V-6—so families are covered in seeking whichever model best meets their needs, ranging from basic and fuel-efficient to luxurious or sporty and powerful.
The base model includes a Lexus-like electroluminescent instrument panel, remote keyless entry, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power mirrors, three 12-volt outlets, ten cup holders, and cruise control. On the other hand, the top Limited model can be optioned like a luxury model, with leather seating areas, heated front seats, and the SUV-requisite rear seat DVD entertainment system to keep the kids entertained.
Hill Assist Control (HAC) and Downhill Assist Control (DAC)—useful driving aids on- or off-road at low speed—are standard on V-6 models and four-cylinder models with the optional third-row seat. And on V-6 models, towing capacity can be increased to 3,500 pounds.
The 2012 Toyota RAV4 is relatively fuel-efficient, but it's not much greener than the larger Highlander.
The 2012 Toyota RAV4 is a reasonably fuel-efficient pick, with EPA ratings as good as 22 mpg city, 28 highway with the four-cylinder engine. On the other hand, if you choose the V-6, and opt for four-wheel drive, ratings drop to 19/26.
If you take full advantage of all the RAV4's interior space and its three rows of seating, that still makes it a very efficient vehicle. But what's particularly surprising is that the Highlander isn't much more fuel-efficient than the larger Highlander--and you could actually do quite a bit better in choosing the Highlander Hybrid.

Yuri's Amphibious Transports are identical to those possessed by both the Soviet and Allied armies.
A deep-water submarine that can bombard shore targets with heavy missiles. Boomer can also fight subs and destroyers and can sink unescorted Dreadnoughts and Carriers with its torpedoes. The Boomer can also shoot Dolphins and Squid. Squids will not grab a Boomer but can slap it in the same way they attack Tanyas. The Boomer has no special vulnerability but can be fought by Destroyers or Subs while submerged or by Carriers, Dreadnoughts or aircraft when it is surfaced.
This hulking genetic monstrosity was created by Yuri's twisted scientists as a walking wall of indescribable force. Since he can take a lot of damage and is completely devoted to Yuri's cause, the Brute has no problem mixing it up on the battlefield while bullets are zipping and missiles flying. He can also smash infantry and use his meaty fists to destroy buildings. The Brute laughs at dog attacks and is immune to any and all Allied K9 forces. While many vehicles will boast a speed advantage over the Brute, they're at his mercy when grouped together. Get a Brute in an enemy base and he can wreak serious havoc.
By releasing clouds of hallucinatory gas, the Chaos Drone temporarily causes units to go berserk. Berserk units' attack power is greatly magnified and will automatically target friendly units before they attack enemies.
Yuri's Engineers are identical to those of the Allied and Soviet armies.
To this day, not even top Soviet and Allied intelligence agents have determined the origin of Yuri's Floating Disc. Looking like it zoomed straight out of some '50s sci-fi flick, the Floating Disc is a sort of outerspace sapper unit whose transport beam can be used to drain energy from enemy power plants or credits from a refinery. An intelligently deployed Floating Disc can short out an enemy's power as a first strike measure and its small laser beam can vaporize infantry and damage vehicles if they happen to get nosy.
One of Yuri's most powerful new units is the Gattling Tank. This versatile tank has a pair of deadly gattling guns that can fire at ground and air based targets, and it can be used as an assault vehicle or as a defense structure. The tank gets its potency from the unique design of the gattling guns: the longer they remain firing, the faster they spin and the more damage they do. If faced with a number of targets, the gattling tank will eventually take less and less time to kill the same type of unit.
Yuri's basic combat soldier has all the firepower he needs in his highly developed brain, which allows him to fire a powerful Psychic Blast that can give enemy infantry, vehicles and even structures a serious headache. While his range is shorter than that of Allied or Soviet infantry, his damage rating is slightly higher, making him an excellent defense unit when garrisoned. He's three times as expensive as the Soviet Conscript, and can't deploy into a fortified position like the Allied Grunt, but when used craftily, the Initiate can make the enemy beg for Tylenol.
This tank is basically a mobile version of the Yuri Psychic Dominator. It's slow, and it has the ability to control an unlimited amount of enemy infantry, with one slight drawback: It starts to overheat when it has more than three enemies under its influence, and if nothing is done about it, it'll quickly incur damage until it eventually explodes.
As you will see in the section on Yuri buildings, the heart of ever base is the Construction Yard. Many times, you will not start with this structure in place, but will have an MCV or Mobile Construction Vehicle at your disposal. When deployed, this vehicle becomes a Construction Yard, providing you with all of the benefits of that building. To deploy an MCV, select the vehicle and hold the cursor over it. If the cursor changes to a golden circle with four arrows, (D) on it will deploy the vehicle. If instead the cursor has a red circle with a line through it, there is either not enough room to deploy or something is in the way. Move the vehicle (or the offending object) to find a suitable deployment site.
A mining vehicle, complete with its own built-in refinery. It automatically deploys near to the closest ore field and 5 little slaves come out to collect the ore with shovels and return it to the refinery. Slaves can be killed but regenerate automatically. If the harvester is killed the slaves give a little cheer and then join whoever killed the Miner. Slaves use their shovels as clubs.
This female mercenary is a seasoned sniper who fires virus-filled darts at her enemies, causing them to swell up and then explode in a toxic cloud of gas, which in itself damages nearby units and buildings. It's not pretty, but it's effective -- a Virus is excellent for use as a remote "tenderizing" unit against tightly grouped infantry formations as the gas from one victim will damage the others, softening them up for a closer-range assault. Virus is effective against infantry units only; but strategically positioned outside an enemy base, she can thin the ranks considerably.
A basic unit of Yuri's infantry, the Yuri Clone has the ability to mentally control most organic units and vehicles. When controlled, the enemy vehicle becomes, effectively, your unit, and you can order it to move and attack just as it you had built it yourself. If Yuri is killed, the connection with the enemy vehicle is broken and it returns to its original team. Yuri cannot control War Miners, Chrono Miners, Attack Dogs, aircraft, or other Yuri units. Yuri can also boil the minds of others with his mind blowing attack.
An improved version of the Yuri Clone, the Yuri Prime has a larger range and can take over buildings.
Virus may be gay but "SHE" is awesome.
Not as awesome as Brute and Gattling Tank though.
where is Anya, Corvette, Gattling Ship, Sonic Carrier, Attac Dog, Blauncher, Berserkr, Bio Trooper, Infector, Attack Cycle, Cyclone Sub, Black Brute, Garg, Gattling Soldier, Giant Squid, Killer Whale, T-Rex, Water Mastermind, Psychic Elite, Elite Corps, Psi-Corps Trooper, Acid Trooper???????????????????????????
sry bout the mistake last comment, it's SAME style, but different paint job.
1. Did you know Yuri stole the Hover Transport from the allies and NOT Soviet? You'll see it's the different style, but has a different paint job.
2. I can't resist using Discs when playing Yuri! They do everything!
