May 26, 1944 Italy Dear Dad & Mom: Can't seem to get started on this, it's been such an uneventful couple of days. Having just a little cool spell but not bad. Things are going very well for us and I'm keeping busy. Gosh doesn't that Bob get around. I'm glad he's back again, should be a good sailor by now. don't think I'd like so many trips. There's just one more I'm looking forward to. Glad your weather has warmed up got your letter mailed the tenth. today, one from Valdi and one from Ralph Pixler, will look him up as soon as possible. Says Albert Olison may be somewhere near also. Got another book read one of Peter B. Kynes, "The Understanding Heart," pretty good and easy reading. We get a paper over here issued by the army, has news in it from home and also news of the various battles etc. Had a column about the Des Moines river being on rampage and Ottaumwa being part underwater from a seven inch rainfall, boy thats a lot of wet. There is quite a lot of news in it from the states and I think quite recent too.


What are the "Traditions of Men"?
Many who attack Jewish tradition and the Oral Law cite Yeshua's words in Matthew 15:1-9 (and paralleled in Mark 7:1-13) concerning the "traditions of men." These commentators argue that the "traditions of men" which Yeshua speaks of in this passage are either the traditions of the Talmud, Oral Law, or Jewish traditions in general.
But lets examine these verses to see if they can accurately be applied to the Jewish traditions of the Talmud.
8 This people honors Me with their mouth and with their lips, but have removed their heart far from Me.
1. Yeshua is addressing a specific group of Pharisees whom he has encountered here, and not Phariseeism in general.
2. Yeshua is not criticizing "tradition" in general, but only "traditions of men" and specifically only "traditions of men" which conflict with the written Torah.
Now Yeshua gives us a very specific example of one of these "traditions of men," a tradition that says that a man who makes a vow that his father or mother might not benefit from anything of his, even though this dishonors their mother or father.
R. Elieazar says: they open a vow for a man by reference to the honor of his father or mother.
said R. Tzadok: before they open a vow for him by reference to his father or mother let them open his vow by reference to the honor of HaMakom.
If so there will be no vow.
The question is which commandment is weightier: the commandment to keep all of your vows (Num. 30:3(2)) or the commandment to honor your mother and father (Ex. 20:12; Deut. 5:16). What happens when there is a conflict between these two commandments and one must break one to keep the other?
Now for a complete understanding of this section of Talmud (m.Nedarim 9:1 and the Gemara at b.Nedarim 64a-64b) see my video "Talmud For Beginners Lesson One".
It is sufficient here to show that the sages of the Talmud agreed that the type of vow that Yeshua discusses (one which involves "a matter that is between him and his mother or father") is loosed (and therefore should not be kept) if it dishonors ones mother on one's father.
So Yeshua and the Talmud agree with each other against the "traditions of men". For anyone to try to identify the "traditions of men" of Matthew 15 (and Mark 7) with the traditions of the Talmud, the Oral Law, or Jewish tradition in general, is either dishonest or very shoddy scholarship.
Yeshua's point here is that a tradition that conflicts with the written Torah should not be kept, a point with which any Orthodox Rabbi would agree.
The "Traditions of Men" spoken of in Matthew 15 (and Mark 7) are not the Oral Law, the Talmud or Jewish traditions in general. The Sages of the Talmud stand with Yeshua in opposing "Traditions of Men" that conflict with the written Torah, even in the specific example Yeshua gives in these verses.

Conserving our heritage
Caring for our buildings
The University collections
Our archives, museums and galleries
We're committed to the care of our historic and listed buildings to ensure they can continue to be enjoyed by future generations.
The University has over 30 listed buildings. We take our responsibility for the historic built environment very seriously and have a continual programme of conservation and restoration.
Across the University
Conserving our historic built environment to the highest standards takes a lot of work. Here are some examples of our recent conservation work:
The grade II-listed Sackville Street Building, built between 1895 and 1912, has undergone significant repairs to its external terracotta, decoration and windows.
The grade II-listed Whitworth Art Gallery, constructed between 1895 and 1900, has been undergoing extensive refurbishment. As part of the £15 million works, the 19th century building will be connected with Whitworth Park through an elegant contemporary extension.
Annual painting of the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank. The full redecoration process takes eight years.
The Old Quadrangle
A major conservation project began in 2010 to restore the grade II and II* buildings surrounding the Old Quadrangle on the Oxford Road campus.
Running until 2016 at the cost of £11.3 million, extensive restoration has already been performed on the John Owens, Beyer and Christie buildings, as well as Whitworth Hall. Built between 1873 and 1902, the buildings were in need of repair to some external features in order to conserve their form and function.
The conservation work has already included:
stonework restoration;
stained glass windows releaded and refurbished;
roof repairs;
restoration of the Whitworth Hall organ;
restoration of the John Owens central tower so that the original oak can be viewed;
restoration and repair of the clock face on the John Owens Building.
The Old Quadrangle restoration not only allows us to conserve our past but also to prepare for the future. To future-proof the buildings, gutters and rainwater pipes have been increased in size where possible in consideration of climate changes.
Also, by replacing the John Owens Building's windows with energy-efficient glazing, we've cut the amount of energy used to heat the building by 25%.

Flipper Slipper is sort of a Breakout clone with an aquatic theme, fish or coral instead of bricks, etc. It's interesting for having 2 paddles instead of one. This leads to what I find to be the most frustrating aspect of the game, trying to hit the ball with one paddle and finding that it's just out of range and you should've used the other one. The paddles are also arc-shaped, and the ball seems to be able to curve along the edge of it. Part of them also disappear as the game goes one.

from the first day I inquired info about attending the University of Phoenix everyone I have spoken with as been very helpful. My academic advisor always calls to see how I am doing, and if there are any questions I might have related to school. I appreciate the time he take to check on me it means so much to me. The professors at the University of Phoenix are always there when we need them. If we have a question about an assignment they always respond quickly. Everyone on campus has been so helpful and kind. I'm truly blessed to be a part of the Phoenix family.
I loved the online campus because it allowed me to raise my 4 children, work full-time, deal with life situations, and still go to school. It allowed me to learn at my own pace, I could email my teacher questions and normally receive a response within 24 hours. It is an excellent program for people with families and 9-5 jobs.
The response to all the information I needed to apply and be successful in this school is at my fingertips. And the actual response time is why I decided to go forward with attending this school. The fact that I can live anywhere and still get a degree is amazing.
Overall I think university of phoenix online was one that in order to get involved with your classes you need to be taking notes during the information of the class. Taking notes help keep learned ideas organized. Overall I think that the teachers were also very responsive.
I love the online campus life. My overall opinion is outstanding. This is the first time that I have experienced the online learning environment and it is awesome. You can schedule your own time to get your studies completed and team work is rewarding.
Well structured courses. Easy to follow. Online courses are broken up nicely, to make completing degree easy. Professors are very helpful, and are always available. Online discussions are very common. Courses are broken up week by week, one course at a time. courses are all five weeks long.
It is a good school where questions are quickly answered. The class sizes are normal, the students are very diverse where there are some who are on top of things while others are not. The prices for each class and finishing a bachelors degree is expensive.
I love the interaction with fellow classmates and Faculty. Everyone has a busy schedule outside the online classroom, but we make time to get the class assignments completed by the time they are due (we have from Tuesday when class begins, or the new week, until the following Monday by 11:59 PM Arizona Time to complete all assignments for the week, and get them submitted). The University of Phoenix faculty (and other staff) is truly amazing, and they want all of their students to succeed in and outside the classroom.

Hedge fund created the ultimate, tax-free IRA account for employees
Renaissance Technologies' Jim Simons
Renaissance Technologies, the giant hedge fund founded by billionaire Jim Simons, looks like it has created the premier, tax-free retirement account for its employees.
A deft maneuver back in 2012 enabled employees to invest in RenTech's Medallion Fund, one of the most successful hedge funds of all time, via individual retirement accounts.
A recent filing with the Labor Department provides a glimpse into the wealth Medallion has generated within RenTech employees' IRAs. As of late 2017, the IRA assets exceeded $660 million, representing an eight-fold jump in roughly five years.
The gains stemmed from Renaissance's ability to capitalize on a key rule change involving Roth IRAs.
'A slam-dunk'
By paying the tax upfront through a Roth, Renaissance employees could then fully reap Medallion's astronomical returns tax-free. This was particularly valuable in Medallion's case because the fund's profits are often generated through short-term trading and thus subject to top tax rates.
"It was a slam-dunk investment for all the employees," said Josh Lichtenstein, a partner in tax and benefits at Ropes & Gray.
Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesman for Renaissance, declined to comment.
The strategy designed by East Setauket, N.Y..-based Renaissance, had several moving parts.
The firm initially terminated its 401(k) plan for employees in 2010, a step that allowed them to roll the savings into traditional IRAs. Employees then took advantage of a rule change that year allowing affluent Americans to convert their traditional IRAs into Roths. The following year, Renaissance applied for clearance from the U.S. Labor Department for employees to invest the accounts in Medallion, which the agency granted and made effective in January 2012.
In addition to the tax differences, Roth IRAs also don't require workers to take distributions in retirement and can be passed along to heirs.
Fund limits
The Medallion fund has been restricted mainly to RenTech employees since 2005 as the firm took steps to keep its size around $10 billion. The fund has averaged annualized returns approaching 80% before fees, but such gains can slump when it gets too big. Even employees face annual investment limits, and Medallion also typically distributes its profits every six months instead of reinvesting the gains.
In addition to the tax and survivor benefits, Renaissance employees who invest in Medallion through their IRAs are spared fees that the fund imposes on its taxable accounts. The fund charges a 5% management fee and a performance fee equaling as much as 44% of gains.
Big advantage
The $87 million that employees initially allotted to the company IRA plan in 2012 swelled to $664 million by the end of 2017, including $574 million in Medallion, the filings show. In turn, the IRA money — held by about 250 employees — grew to more than 4% of Medallion's gross assets from about 1% five years earlier.

Q: sql server log shipping space consumption I have implemented sql server logs shipping from hq to dr server
The secondary databases are in standby mode .
The issue is that after configuring it , my dr server is running out of space very rapidly
I have checked the log shipping folders where the trn files resides and they are of very decent size , and the retention is configured for twenty four hours
I checked the secondary databases and their size is exactly same as that of the corresponding primary databases
Could you guys please help me out in identifying the reason behind this odd space increase
I would be grateful if you could point me to some online resources that explains this matter with depth.

A: I would check to see how the transaction files are managed on the primary and secondary.  There is a copy job that ships the backup leaving you with a transaction log backup on the primary and secondary.  Check to make sure that your retention policy on both are set to 24 hours.  Also, there is an initial backup that gets created and you might want to make sure that was deleted after you initialized the log shipping process.
I would also make verify that the log file on the primary is maintained often enough so that you aren't getting unnecessarily large transaction backups.
But, if you're on top of all that already, try and use a tool like WinDirStat to see what files on the server are taking up the most disk space.  You may uncover something not directly related to log shipping (page file, maybe?)

Nigeria's president, Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said the exit of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and others from the All Progressives Congress, APC, barely made a dent in the party's superstructure, as they could not muster the figures they had envisaged to cause an upset, particularly in the two chambers of the National Assembly.
Buhari, who spoke at the National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting of the APC in Abuja, said despite conciliatory attempts to keep the house together, some members were hell-bent on pulling down the roofs.
"They left, plotting to go along with scores of people, thus upsetting the apple cart. But due to the yeoman's work by the new party leadership, the exit barely made a dent in our superstructure, as they could not muster the figures they had envisaged to cause an upset, particularly in the two chambers of the National Assembly.
"APC remains in control, and increases by the day, with quality people joining our fold. I say congratulations to the new NEC members," he said.
According to Buhari, "hope is rekindled in our hearts that we will give our country purposeful leadership that will improve the quality of lives of the people. We will continue to secure the country, fight graft, and position the economy in a way that jobs can be provided for our youths, and give them a future and a hope.
"We will fulfill all the promises we have made to Nigerians. We are fulfilling them, and will continue to serve with heart and might, to build a nation where peace, justice, and prosperity shall reign.
"As we stand at the threshold of party primaries, I urge all and sundry to ensure that we play the game according to the rules. Let us come out with free, fair, and credible primaries, which will be a precursor to free, fair, and credible General Elections next year. Let us shine the light through our primaries, and the rest of the country will find the way," he said.
Buhari said the APC's primaries must be in complete compliance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, the Electoral Act and above all the constitution of the party.
"The times in which we are call for unity, harmony and togetherness. Let us all join hands to move the party forward. We must take our party to the next level, and I urge all and sundry to give support to our National Working Committee," he said.

In the Tamugimata district of Tsuruoka City that is dotted with multi-storied folk houses lies The Endo Family Former Residence built in the Bunka-Bunsei Period in the latter half of the Edo Period (1804-1830).
The building originally had a hipped roof, however, the eaves of the roof were curved to create openings that let in sunlight and let out smoke in what is called Kohappo, following the expansion of the Silkworm business in the Meiji period (1868-1912), and the silhouette of this coupled with the curvature of the roof made the building appear like a Samurai Helmet, giving it the name "Kabuto Tsukuri" (lit. helmet style).
There was only limited land available on top of being in an around renown for snowfall, and extending the building was deemed too difficult, so the building was repurposed to house both people and silkworms, leading to its multiple floors.


The strike price is set by a 409a valuation report that determines the "Fair Market Value" when the options are granted. Suppose your options have a strike price of $1/share, and the company eventually IPOs for $10/share.
Depending on the type of share-based payment, fair value may be determined by the value of the shares or rights to shares given up, or by the value of the goods or services received: General fair value measurement principle.
Fair value is calculated as follows: • Options are valued using the weighted average fair value of options granted during the year. If such a fair value was not disclosed in the public filings, it was calculated using the binomial option pricing model and the input assumptions reported by that particular company.
Expiration of stock options does not cause reversal of compensation expense because, at the grant date, the firm did provide value to the employee, given that the option had a fair value at that time.
The total fair value of stock options vested during the fifty-two weeks ended February 2, 2008, the fifty-three weeks ended February 3, 2007 and the fifty-two weeks ended January 28, 2006 was $5.1 mil-lion, $29.5 million and $31.4 million, respectively.
Assume that the fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation expense to be $350,000 On April 1, 2016, 2,000 options were terminated when the employees resigned from the company. The market price of the common stock was $35 on this date.

overhead lighting in my kitchen, maybe?
resist using the beautiful fabric I found at Hancock Fabrics.
okay with it. It's not very easy to measure the inside and get it just right.
1. Trace a pattern of the lamp shade and cut it out. Add an extra 1"-1 1/2" to it to allow for folding the fabric over the top and bottom of the shade.
2. Turn your fabric over with the good side facing down and place your pattern on the fabric. Trace around the pattern.
3. You should be able to see the lines for an accurate cut.
4. Once it's cut you can start working with it and wrapping the fabric around the shade. You want to make sure there's enough fabric on the top and bottom.
5. You still with me??
6. Time to glue, I used spray adhesive glue and slowly worked my way around the shade. Be sure to glue it on in small sections to alleviate wrinkles and smooth the fabric out as you go. It does go on easy, but it comes off too if you make a mistake AND I did.
7. After the fabric is glued on and set, I used a glue gun for the rest the project. Fold over the extra fabric on the top and bottom and glue it over the edges. Again it's not perfect, but adding the fabric to the inside helped cover up my mistakes.
8. FYI...I used my scissors to cut a small slit for the fabric to fit over the wires.
9. Finally I measured the best I could and glued the fabric inside of the shade. I folded the edges over for a cleaner look and I think it made a big difference. Voila your done!
how darling is THIS! love the colors - so elegant!
Oh this is fabulous and I love the fabric...Yep, grey is the hot new color and you're on the cutting edge!
Wow. This turned out great and I know how hard it was to get it right. Everyone makes covering a lamp shade look so easy but I, for one, don't think it is! The fabric is to die for. Happy Sunday!
Hi Andrea! You did a fabulous job covering that shade! I love the fabric! Looks great!
It looks great! Love the fabric and love that the drum is upside down - very unexpected!!

Downey Compete At DTASC
Lukas Luna and Brisa Rodriguez
Brisa Rodriguez
As the director from Large Group Drama, Saul Conde, 12, was proud and passionate about their competition as they take the 9th place trophy. "DTASC has multiple categories and we had entered in large group drama which the only thing was to pick any dramatic piece, do it in 8 minutes, 4 chairs and no more than 6 people." Conde stated "We were trying to replicate all of the KOS and terror one feels when going through a suicidal period."
On October 29, Downey High School's large group drama competed in Drama Teachers of Association of Southern California's (DTASC) Varsity Division Fall Festival at Calabasas High School. Downey's troupe scored ninth place in large group drama performing Four: Forty-Eight Psychosis by Sarah Kane.
The goal of the festival is to bring drama students from across Southern California together to compete against one another, not unlike a sporting event. While the event works to unite the performers present, that does not stop a sense of competitiveness from being felt by many, including Senior Saul Conde.
"Usually everyone their is very nice and supportive. Everyone is always wishing each other well and good luck." Said Conde, "But from the first room, I could tell it was going to be very competitive and it wasn't going to easy to get into the final round."
With such a large amount of Southern California troupes gathered in the same place, it is easy for one to tremble at the sheer volume of competition. Newcomer Alexander Arvizu, 12, quickly became intimidated by his first DTASC festival, but soon found himself more confident as Downey came in 9th place.
"My group was really excited and thought we were going make it to finals. I didn't think so. Everyone else had more experience then me, I was the newest person in the troupe." Arvizu said, "I felt like we weren't ready, but turns out we were."
Competing in DTASC is a required task for members of Mr. Nelson's advanced drama class, but most students involved view it as so much more than another drab assignment. They cherish the opportunity to be immersed in a community that loves acting as much as them the festival allows them. This sentiment is echoed by junior Karisma Alva.
"The point of DTASC is to show what we've been putting efforts into for the whole semester" Said Alva, "It is a grade, but we also do it because it's fun and purely a great place to be at."

Lukas Luna, Co-Copy Editor
In his second year as Co-Copy Editor, Lukas Luna, 12, intends to fulfil his future plan of continuing his passion for journalism. With this being his third year in Newspaper, as well as being a Downey High School writing center tutor, Luna works hard to challenge himself. He is always willing to push his boundaries, as he just recently interned for "Voices of Creativity" this summer where he got to interview author and educator, Renaldo Lawrence.
Luna explains that covering event stories are his favorite part of Newspaper. "It's the most memorable, the most exciting," Luna said. "It's hands on, where you feel the most official, where you're able to get those 'in the moment quotes.'

A current photographer this year for the Newspaper at Downey High School, Brisa Rodriguez, 12, is showing off her skills developed from her past two years in Photojournalism. Rodriguez has been apart of the Law Enforcement class for six years, and has been playing basketball for five years. She enjoys helping people, and can help more with her developed skills.
Rodriguez became interested in law enforcement unintentionally discovering her passion for it, "When I was a sophomore, I was accidentally placed into the Law Enforcement club. It was really interesting." Although unsure of what career to pursue within law enforcement, Rodriguez plans to improve any and all skills needed to pursue her dream.


As you know from a recent post, 2017 was a banner year for me. In my varied adventures, I learned a lot, picking up tips that translated into several travel advice posts throughout the year. One of the genuine rewards of this blogging endeavor is to share the knowledge I've picked up. Hopefully, you'll find it a helpful resource.
As 2017 now rapidly comes to a close, here's 3 Score's best travel advice.
You know the drill – you and a good friend, or close-knit group of pals – have a great wine-fueled dinner. The next thing you know, you've booked a trip to Zanzibar. On the strength of a referral, a Travel & Leisure article, or simply hazy in-the-moment enthusiasm. It doesn't have to be an exotic destination – or spontaneous decision – to be the best bonding and shared experience of your life — or not.
Travel with one dear pal or a half dozen can open a Pandora's box of unexpected tension. Some smart contingency planning is called for, in addition to the common sense of respect and responsibility. Lastly, the critical need for on-the-fly flexibility – and allocating joint expenses – will go a long way to ensure a treasured shared memory.
Quality sunglasses – don't leave home without them!
We all want to look glam on our travels, channeling Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O, or the starlet in her Ray-Bans (affiliate link). But there is solid scientific evidence that sunglasses are more than a snazzy fashion accessory. They are critical to eye health, especially as we age.
– be large enough to offer adequate protection, especially on the water.
Prescription sunglasses are definitely worth the money and there are options that won't break the bank. Hint: don't forget to take along a copy of your prescription in the important documents – they follow international standards so if you need to replace sunglasses during your travel, having the paperwork on hand will prove to be a godsend.
Quibble if you will as to whether a cashmere poncho fits exactly into the 'essentials' category.
Personally, I think it is one of those luxuries that holds it's own in the 'must-have' category of travel accessories. It 'goes everywhere'as a stylish cover-up, a beautiful combination of form and function.
Another essential is a cross-body bag. In my case, the one pictured above. It is short on fashion-flair, long on practicality. It fits a ginormous amount of stuff, from passports to iPads, and the front compartment holds credit cards and phone for secure easy access. Go ahead, pshaw. It's the sensible shoes of travel pocketbooks and I'm sticking with it.
Much has been written about REAL ID, the initiative of the Department of Homeland Security, mandated by Congress in 2005, to establish security standards for driver's licenses when used for ID purposes, such as domestic air travel.
The souped-up license is designated by the star in the upper right corner, so it will be easy to identify as you pass through security. Otherwise, your regular driver's license is fine.
The deadline for compliance is October 2020 so it isn't tomorrow's worry, but for we travelers, if you don't have a compliant license already, it's a good idea to put it on the 2018 to-do list.
The question really comes down to affordable risk. What are you willing to lose if for whatever reason you don't take the trip? Will your medical coverage be adequate in the event something goes awry?
My rule of thumb is that travel insurance is not worth it for the economy plane fare that is in the near future (a few weeks out). I'll play the odds that I'll take the trip, and accept the loss if something happens. It doesn't seem worth it for even a small add-on. Further, I find the pitch at the end of each online transaction a bit of a hustle.
That said, a longer, more expensive trip, usually booked much further out, is a different calculus in my mind. I'm much less willing to put several thousand dollars on the table without some protection against the "s*it happens" rule.
As ever, read the small print so if you do buy into a trip insurance plan you know exactly what will be covered. You don't need any surprises in a time of stress.
3 Score has a lot of answers but certainly not all; some things remain a mystery. Please add YOUR best travel advice in the comments below and thanks!

Been using gixen from basicly day 1 and it has save me alot of money and won me some bargains.
I want to appologise that I dont donate, I come from very poor back ground and struggle with employment so really sorry I cant help donate.
Even though im a struggler, gixens been here for me for free and has helped me out lots. back in the day people were selling bots and what not "imo scams" and that was pretty much the only way to snipe except gixen.
no downloads, no apps, no problems. its almost hard to believe even till this day.
I hope it generates you income some way and I really thank you for all the years of reliable service you have gave me.
p.s. just for new people contenplating using gixen.
It may seem a bit risky and look risky, ya know handing over your details and into your financials, all for free? seems to good to be true right? not really im sure they earn money threw other means such as advertising and what not aswell as the odd donation.
If it aint earning money by now id really want to know why as these guys were 1 of the 1st or if not the 1st ebay snipers that didnt require downloads and a bunch of personal info.
it does look to good to be true but honestly, ive used this place on n off since day 1 and im only here as I feel bad for all the help ive had and done nothing back. If I ever come into stable finances i will donate every wom item. but as it stand im foowkd lol and I totaly appreciate and want you to know how much I appreciate this place..
not does it help me get my items as cheap as possible, it takes away having to stop up late,getting into bidding wars and is genuine help to easy ebaying. tbh im suprised ebay aint bought this place.
thank you, you have no idea how grateful i am and if you a buyer reading this that has good stabel income, plz go donate to them as these guys deserve everything the can get for this place and id hate to see it ever stop.
LIke the first poster, a general thanks for a simple, very effective service that has saved me money.
I have purchased a 'mirror' (though to be honest I'm not sure what that does) - just wanted to give a little back.
The 'Mirror' is so called because it is a copy of the main service on a separate server, in a different location.
So, you have two independent servers in different locations working to try to place your snipes. The result being an increase in the reliability of the overall service.

I'd like to thank my friend Stuart O'Hara for suggesting the theme of this post. Edwyn Collins once said 'too many protest singers, not enough protest songs'. Strangely that was a lyric from his 90s hit "A Girl Like You" which doesn't seem to be a protest song itself. That dear reader is the thrust of this blog post; where are all the protest singers and protest songs? The world economy is collapsing, riot and revolution is rife, wars and indiscriminate bombings are commonplace and UK politics is at best inept and the USA is trillions of dollars in debt and dancing with the idea of electing an idiotic republican candidate far more stupid than even Dubya was. So where are all the protests from the music world?
Aside from the fact that a legitimate protest song would probably not get played on mainstream radio and would need to 'go viral' on-line, where the hell are they? Where are this generation's Woody Guthries, Pete Seegers, Bob Dylans and Billy Braggs? OK I know there have been a few good attempts since the Specials summed up Britain in song in 1981 with "Ghost Town". Notably "Killing In The Name Of" from Rage Against The Machine and perhaps "American Idiot" from Green Day. But what happened to the establishment/ 'the man' being scared of rock music? It's all become too corporate and bland.
U2 and Coldplay have tried to use their muscle to protest against various wrongs in the world, but frankly are their hearts really in it? Radiohead have supported the free Tibet campaign amongst others, but could they do more? Dylan is getting too old, Bragg doesn't have the fanbase size required (but is still flying the flag), Springsteen and Weller have been quiet of late on the protest front and Marvin Gaye, Marley, Lennon and Strummer are sadly no longer with us.
The environment must be right for a new movement to shake up the old order just like punk did in the 70s and rave and grunge did in the 80s and 90s. The charts are stuffed full of manipulated, impresario created pop muppets; Little Mix, Matt Cardle, Olly Murs etc. It is time to stand up and be counted good people of the blogosphere. We need some strong protest songs to unite all those fighting for freedom and change. Let's shake up that complacent bunch of career politicians in Westminster and political ivory towers across the world. Frank Turner, Show Of Hands, Neil Young you can do this we need you now! Will somebody please step forward?
In the meantime here are some classic protest songs. I would love to hear your opinions of protest songs and singers;

Yet more Gaga news for you today, she certainly knows how to create a media stir for herself doesn't she. I guess I'm as guilty as the rest too as she does appear here quite a bit. She has become the first celebrity to reach ten million Twitter followers. She tweeted this message to her followers; "10 Million Monsters! I'm speechless, we did it! It's an illness how I love you. Leaving London smiling". She was the first to reach nine million in March having overtaken Britney Spears last year. She has 24 million 'likes' on Facebook although in terms of celebrities Eminem is ahead of her as is Texas Hold 'Em Poker.
She also appeared at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle this weekend. She dedicated a song to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (aka Wills and Kate) and played a couple of jazz numbers. In her continuing quest to make an entrance unlike any other star she arrived on stage in a coffin. She was dressed in black and apparently wearing a prosthetic pregnancy. Unless of course it was real! Before Gaga's super injunction takes effect I would like to state categorically that I am not the father! I would like to thank my good friend Nick Horslen for sending me the clip of her stage entrance. Incidentally Nick also categorically denies that he is the father. Nick also came up with a pun to describe the Gaga entrance that is up there with my worst puns. It went something like this 'Lady Gaga had a bit of a coffin fit I hear…' keep taking the tablets Nick!
Now for some non Gaga news. Last week Roger Waters played a few shows at the O2 Arena in London as part of The Wall tour. I would have loved to have gone but I never got around to booking early enough. But a work friend of mine was there and not only was it a great show, but also for the first time since Live 8 in 2005 the remaining members of Pink Floyd (David Gilmour and Nick Mason) joined Waters on stage. To say that I was envious of my friend Grant would be an understatement, being there for that particular performance is one to tell your grandchildren isn't it? Click here to check it out on the BBC
And finally time for more mondegreens aka misheard lyrics. These were posted in the Rock Of Ages Yahoo Group and there are some real doozies there!
"I bless the rains down in Africa." (Toto – Africa)
People sing: "I left my brains down in Africa."
"Might as well face it, You're addicted to love" (Robert Palmer – Addicted to love)
"Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove." (some people have suggested that they thought this was about Michael Jackson!

"but he's naked all the time."
"And as we wind on down the road." (Led Zeppelin – Stairway to heaven)
"There's a wino down the road."
"And kept her apart from the things that she loved." (The Beatles – Getting Better)
"And kicked her apartment of things that's Sheila."
"Excuse me while I kiss the sky." (Jimi Hendrix – Purple Haze)
"Excuse me while I kiss this guy."
"See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen" (Abba – Dancing Queen)
" See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen."
"Like a virgin, touched for the very first time" (madonna – Like a Virgin)
"Like a virgin, touched for the thirty-first time"
"We built this city on rock and roll." (Starship – We built this city)
"We built this city on log and coal."
"I'll never be your beast of burden." (Rolling Stones – Beast of Burden)
"I'll never leave your pizza burnin'."
"Here we are now, entertain us." (Nirvana – Smells like teen spirit)
"Here we are now, in containers."
"The answer, my friend,
is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind." (Bob Dylan – Blowin' in the wind)
"The ants are my friends,
they're blowin' in the wind
The ants are a-blowin' in the wind."
"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road." (Green day – Time of your life)

"Thought my mom sat on you."
"There's a bad moon on the rise." (Creedence Clearwater Revival – Bad Moon Rising)
"There's a bathroom on the right."
Just because I love the song and it doesn't get played too much here is "Beast Of Burden" by the Stones.

It has more than 50 craft beers on tap and more than 250 craft beers and ciders in bottles and cans, with a special emphasis on Virginia-produced beers as well as local spirits and wines. When it comes to food, Yelpers rave about the large Bavarian pretzel, the nachos, and the wide range of grilled cheese options — there are six, to be exact, from caprese grilled cheese with mozzarella, tomato and balsamic glaze to chicken pesto.
Keep an eye on Crafthouse's daily specials, which include a $5 burger Monday, taco Tuesday and whiskey Wednesday, as well as the weekly entertainment schedule.

Good value and my 3 in 1 HP printer didn??t complain for non genuine HP ink cartridges. My printer could read the estimated ink level like the genuine hp ink cartridge does.

Prints good, price is right.


Five weeks in San Francisco. 2 weeks in SoMa, 2 weeks in Bernal Heights, below The Mission, and 1 week in Hayes Valley. That's a whole lot of eats.
SoMa has some great spots for a beverage or two. City Beer is a really cool beer bar selling quality delicious brews, Terrior Natural Wine Merchant boasts organic wines and Bloodhound makes an ace negroni.
Darwin Cafe serve what is reported to be the best kale salad in town (yep, it's good). Every bite I've had here, whether a baguette, toasted sandwich or salad have been completely scrumptious. It's well priced and worth the lunch-time queue.
Sightglass Coffee. Hipster coffee. More often than not it's worth the $4 price tag.
Deli Board. Meat-filled, slightly expensive, delicious sandwiches. I went with the Ruprecht, without dressing and with sprouts added. It was super scrumptious.
WholeFoods. Come here to revel in the huge variety of (mostly healthy) goods available. Try to not leave with 5 different yoghurts, 7 jars of nut butter and 3 packets of kale chips (not an easy task). WholeFoods is also a great place to spend a lot of money on the tasty salad and hot food bar. Pack it up and go!
Trader Joe's. Super delicious and cheap salad packs, yummy cilantro hummus, nitrate-free sausages (chicken jalapeño sausage love), waffle mix and more.
Pressed Juicery for expensive, delicious wonderful juice/smoothies (note: not in SoMa, you can find these stores at the Ferry Building or Noe Valley).
Piccino. Our local friend introduced us to this place and now I've visited, I feel almost cool enough to share it with you. This casual but classy restaurant serves really tasty pizza and more. Oh, and nearby is The Plow, which I've heard is just thebusiness for brunch.
The Mill. Grab a slice of toast, grab a latte, grab a loaf of bread to take home and watch the hipsters do the same. People tend to rag on paying $3.50 for a slice of toast, but honestly, compared to Australia where prices for food are ridiculous,a thick, filling slice of quality crafted bread spread with lashings of either cream cheese, almond butter or cinnamon sugar and butter is a steal.
Nopa. I'm fairly deeply in love with Nopa's burger (that beef pattie!!) and their drinks selection is ace, too. Generally everything on their menu is reliable. You're in for very reasonably priced deliciousness here. Book ahead or grab a seat at the bar or communal table if you're lucky.
BurmaSuperstar. My friend Maggie introduced me to this gem of a place, serving completely delicious curries and salads and more. Be prepared to wait during rush hour, but trust me, it's worth it!
B. Patisserie. Try their house specialty, the kouign amann. This croissant-style pastry is loaded with sugar however is entirely lovely. Their coffee is wonderful, too. I spent a lovely morning here, sitting and sipping and reading.
Jane on Fillmore is another lovely spot for coffee. This was where I had my first date with Maddy.
Umami Burger. Do you want to stick your face into an indulgent, scrumptious burger? Maybe you want a bit of truffle oil on your fries? You do? Go here, then.
Foreign Cinema. You're best to get in early or book ahead to be able to even grab a seat at this popular, rather expensive spot. I visited for brunch and let me just say that their spring omelette with asparagus, with a side of slow-cooked brown sugar bacon, was one of the best dishes I ate in SF. Yes, you read that correctly, slow-cooked brown sugar bacon.
Salumeria is great for delicious antipasti and sandwiches. It also has a rad deli for take-home goods.
Craftsman and Wolves. Lovely lovely divine flaky perfect baked goods and coffee. Order "The Rebel Within" muffin. It contains a soft-boiled egg inside. Yes. I also fell in love with their oatmeal cookie.
Mission Pie. Pie and coffee. Enough said. This was a favourite hangout of mine when living in Bernal Heights.
Beauty Bar is a cool place for drinks and a dance.
Namu Gaji. Best to book ahead for this uber cool spot with exciting flavours. Ask the lovely wait staff to tell you what to order. They know what's up.
Mission Beach Cafe. Pie. Berry pie. That's all I need to say. Trust me. Oh, hang on, one more thing... "wild mushroom benedict with spinach, caramelised onion, truffle mornay sauce and crispy potatoes". Serious brunching.
Rainbow Grocery. A mecca for wholegrains, nut butters, tea and a huge range of vegetarian, organic, sustainable whole foods. It's a dream. And you can get the most delicious nut butter here (also available at The Mill), Riverview Orchard Almond Hazelnut Butter. I gave this as a gift to my bff in Utah. She and her husband are nut butter nerds. Respect.
I also gifted Emmy's bread and butter pickles to some family friends. These I snagged at Mission Pie, but you can find them around town in stores that are super cool.
Bar Tartine. Visit this restaurant for dinner, please do. Order the potato flatbread and the green chilli fisherman's stew. The anchovies on bread were lovely, also. This place will leave you feeling rosy and full, full of the most amazing bread. It's a good feeling.
For sweet scoops, visit Bi-Rite Creamery (also near Alamo Square on Divisadero st) and Humphry Slocombe. Humphry is my favourite, I have to say. I particularly enjoy the Honey Thyme, Chocolate and Smoked Sea Salt and Meyer Lemon Buttermilk flavours, but be sure to try their popular Secret Breakfast delight (cornflakes + bourbon. Oh yeah). I've also heard great things about Smitten Ice-Cream.
Mission Cheese. A cute place for a drink. And cheese, obviously. I loved their cider and found their mac and cheese to be bananas. And by bananas I mean, terribly delicious.
Along the Mexican trail, we loved our take-away dinner from La Palma. Here we bought housemade tortilla, chips, delicious beef, pork and chicken dishes as well as beans, cheese, salsa and guacamole, and had ourselves an outrageous feast one night in our apartment. It was all really really yummy. You can also get a burrito or dish made up to eat at the store (they have a few chairs outside), but beware they aren't open after 5 or 6ish in the evening, so get in early.
Paulie's Pickling. These guys are ace. They serve super scrumptious sandwiches and are great value. Try the beef brisket or the egg salad sandwich, on marble rye. Best pickles ever? Maybe.
. Quality, local meat and delicious deli goods. For lunch you can grab a pressed porchetta panini. It's really good. You can also snag dinner provisions here, whether housemade meatballs and a pack of pasta, or bread and cheese. Maybe some meatloaf... Or all of the above. Dinner served!
(on Saturdays). This was the first farmer's market in California so it was a real treat to visit. Oh goodness, if I had access to this every week, life would be so so sweet. It is worth a visit just to see how an excellent farmer's market works. Who needs Safeway, right?
Outerlands. This was our most favourite meal in SF. I booked a little table for two in advance to surprise Ben as a "well done, you're amazing, my how hard you have been working, you deserve some amazing bread with house cultured butter and olive oil poached octopus" dinner date. We were blown away by the meal, each dish was consistently exciting and outrageously delicious. I imagine their brunch would be divine, also. Favourite.
Fun activities in SF, for the wanderer.
~ Ferry Building. Browse the shops and visit the famous Cowgirl Creamery. You might like to grab yourself some popular, delicious Mt Tam (or my favourite Red Hawk) cheese, a baguette from Acme and have yourself a picnic! Try to time your Ferry Building visit with the wonderful Farmers Market, which is on Tue/Thur/Sat (Saturday is the largest market day).
~ Alamo Square Park. Great views of the city and famous SF houses (see above photo).
~ Valencia Street (between ~15th & 23rd st). Mosey down this uber cool street and pop into all the wonderful shops.
~ WholeFoods, Trader Joe's and Rainbow Grocery. Explore the isles and try not to buy everything. Try.
~ Golden Gate Park. Excellent frisbee terrain.
~ Nob Hill and Russian Hill. Wander and stroll and mosey these picturesque areas, taking in all the beautiful houses. You're sure to work up a sweat (oh, the hills)! Lombard street is a famous windy street and worth a look. After you've visited here you can catch the tourist tram down the hill.
~ Explore Chinatown for something different.
~ SFMOMA. Always worth an afternoon or even an entire day just roaming and absorbing some creativity.
~ Dolores Park. A great place to chill out with a picnic.
~ The Mission. Wander 16th, 18th and 24th street for colourful fun. My favourite vintage bookshop is Adobe Bookstore and next door on 16th st is an ace vintage shop.
~ Omnivore Books. Check out their events page, they often have amazing authors coming to speak and sign their books. These events are free and intimate and wonderful. And Celia, the store owner, is just so friendly. Every city needs an Omnivore Bookstore.
~ Golden Gate Bridge. Hire bikes and ride across. Or just walk across, either way, but be sure to visit. It's giant and overwhelming and stunning. Try to go on a day that isn't fog-heavy for best views.
~ Alcatraz. Ummm we didn't go here. That's a real bummer. But it's surely wonderful.
~ Berkeley. If you can manage, get across the bridge to Berkeley and visit Chez Panisse (I dined solo at this institution in 2011. A life highlight, for sure). Gather is lovely, too.
~ Heath Ceramics. Beautiful, locally made ceramics - plates, mugs, bowls and more. Their store in the city is wonderful (I wanted to buy everything!) and super funky. Plus there is a Blue Bottle Cafe next door.
~ Alemany Farmer's Market on Saturdays is a must if you're into Farmers Markets.
~ Bernal Heights Park. Hike up this epic San Francisco hill to see the most gorgeous city view if you're in the area (if you've visited the Alemany Farmers Market, you will be!).
Oh, there is so much good living to be done in San Francisco. I only scraped the surface during my 5 week stay, so please share any recommendations below. And if you're off to SF, have a blast. Eat a Tartine croissant, stick your face in a sandwich and get an extra scoop at Humphry Slocombe, just for me.

Durham University aims to provide a high standard and quality of service for applicants and to deliver an admissions process that is consistent, fair and professional, but recognises that occasionally things may go wrong. As part of its commitment to enhancing the applicant experience, this procedure has been established to deal with complaints from applicants in a fair and transparent manner. The University recognises that complaints may provide useful feedback from applicants and, where appropriate, will be used to improve the admissions process.
These procedures explain how applicants to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes may make a complaint, both informal and formal. Applicants who have a complaint to make should raise it as soon as possible, as matters that are dealt with informally at an early stage have the best chance of being resolved effectively. Only when the informal procedures have been exhausted and the applicant remains dissatisfied should a formal complaint be made.
Formal complaints can only be made once an application has been submitted to the University.

We're absolutely delighted to be hosting the seventh INORMS Congress, in the wonderful city of Edinburgh. We hope you'll join us, and our Congress mascot, Hamish the Highland Cow, at what promises to be an exciting and educational experience!
The INORMS Congress, which will absorb the ARMA Annual Conference for 2018, is the biennial meeting of the International Network of Research Management Societies, which brings together our UK members with associations from across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Americas. Like a regular ARMA Conference, we'll be featuring a range of plenary sessions, seminars and workshops to enable our members to network with colleagues and to develop professional knowledge and skills. Unlike the ARMA Conference, however, we'll be hosting delegates from around the world and focusing on international research management topics under our theme, Promoting Global Research Management, Supporting Global Research Challenges.
The city of Edinburgh will play host to Congress. We're planning to introduce all Conference delegates to the best that the Scottish capital has to offer, hosting activities around the city and making the most of the history, arts, culture and natural heritage that will be on our doorstep. And Hamish will be on hand to give his unique take on events!
We're open for enquiries now, and will be launching a call for proposals for sessions in the early Autumn. Make sure to bookmark the INORMS 2018 website today.

/ Cory Doctorow / 8:29 am Sat Jun 8, 2019
Payday lenders switched their trade show to a Trump hotel and sent Trump at least a million bucks, then he gave them carte blanche to make billions preying on poor people
The payday lending industry is the pinnacle of predatory, corrupt capitalism, unabashed loan sharks who prey on the poorest and most desperate Americans, charging interest rates in the hundreds and even thousands of percent APR, using strongarm tactics including threats of violence and rape to collect on debts, and papering over the whole thing by flooding notice-and-comment proceedings with bot-generated comments and secretly bribing academics to write papers explaining that usury is a social good.
Payday lending got a lot more vicious and a lot more profitable under Obama, thanks to the financial crisis and the decision to bail out banks but not the people they stole from, but in a parting shot, Obama created Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which imposed modest regulations on the sector, just as Obama was leaving office. Predictably, Trump reversed all that, even making a loan-shark an assistant AG (the Trump campaign took millions from payday lender PACs).
Now, Propublica reports from the second annual payday lending convention to be held at the Trump Doral resort (the industry had never held an event at a Trump property prior to Trump's election), which have pumped at least $1m into Trump's personal coffers. The investigation reveals the suite of measures that Trump has put in place to benefit the predatory lending industry, and describe how Warren and Obama's plan to Republican-proof the CFPB by giving it an untouchable executive who wouldn't be subject to executive or congressional meddling backfired spectacularly when their chairman, Richard Cordray, quit to run unsuccessfully for the governorship of Ohio, leaving his position vacant for Trump to fill with a series of deplorable swamp creatures who have gutted the bureau.
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have co-sponsored extensive anti-loan-sharking legislation that would restore many of the protections that Trump has removed.
Propublica's article is an excellent and long read, but I highly recommend the accompanying Trump, Inc podcast episode.
Don't miss this eye-popping stat: "The average [payday lender] only has 500 unique customers a year, but they have the overhead of a conventional retail store. If people just used one or two loans, then lenders wouldn't be profitable." That is, payday lenders are only profitable because they are designed to trap people in an inescapable cycle of debt and refinance.
Triple-digit interest rates are no laughing matter for those who take out payday loans. A sum as little as $100, combined with such rates, can lead a borrower into long-term financial dependency.
That's what happened to Maria Dichter. Now 73, retired from the insurance industry and living in Palm Beach County, Florida, Dichter first took out a payday loan in 2011. Both she and her husband had gotten knee replacements, and he was about to get a pacemaker. She needed $100 to cover the co-pay on their medication. As is required, Dichter brought identification and her Social Security number and gave the lender a postdated check to pay what she owed. (All of this is standard for payday loans; borrowers either postdate a check or grant the lender access to their bank account.) What nobody asked her to do was show that she had the means to repay the loan. Dichter got the $100 the same day.
The relief was only temporary. Dichter soon needed to pay for more doctors' appointments and prescriptions. She went back and got a new loan for $300 to cover the first one and provide some more cash. A few months later, she paid that off with a new $500 loan.
Dichter collects a Social Security check each month, but she has never been able to catch up. For almost eight years now, she has renewed her $500 loan every month. Each time she is charged $54 in fees and interest. That means Dichter has paid about $5,000 in interest and fees since 2011 on what is effectively one loan for $500.
Today, Dichter said, she is "trapped." She and her husband subsist on eggs and Special K cereal. "Now I'm worried," Dichter said, "because if that pacemaker goes and he can't replace the battery, he's dead."

Cornering: physics basic principles and definitions

Part 1: Straight Line Motion
Part 2: Straight Line Motion Part 2: Acceleration and Longitudinal Weight Transfer
Part 3: Straight Line Motion Part 3: Longitudinal weight transfer and braking
We briefly went through an overview of the main phenomena involved with a car moving on a straight line. What we did is far from a complete analysis, but it should help the reader to get a feeling about some of the most important parameters to be considered when analyzing how a car accelerates in a straight line.
We will now apply a similar approach to analyze, again very briefly, what happens when a car negotiates a corner. Again, we will use a simplified approach, in order to make things a bit easier to understand and to focus on the most important points. Some of the topics we dealt with in our tyre article series will also be used here to explain how the car exchange forces with the road.
We will start considering a very simple body, with a mass "m", that moves on a circular path, with a forward velocity "V". To help visualize a similar situation, we could think about an object seating at the end of a rope, which we let rotate at a certain speed. If "R" is the radius of said circular path (the length of our rope), our body will experience a centripetal acceleration "Ay" that points toward the centre of the curved trajectory.
The magnitude of Ay depends on the square of tangential velocity and on the radius R and is given by the following equation:
As we know, any time that a body accelerates, there must be a force acting on it in the same direction of the acceleration and with a net magnitude given by body's mass multiplied by acceleration magnitude. In our case, we will call this force "centripetal", because it keeps the body at a constant distance to the center of the curved path as it moves. We denote it with "Fy" and it follows that:
We also know that, in a certain point in time, our equilibrium will be ensured by the presence of a force that balances Fy and tries to pull the body out of its path. We will call this force "centrifugal" and its magnitude is given by:
This is more or less what happens to a car, traveling on a circular path with radius R, at constant speed V. The force ensuring the car can keep moving on its path is exerted by the four tyres; each of them exchanges a (more or less) lateral force with the road, because of the mechanisms we have already described in some of our previous articles. Actually, the four forces we are dealing with all point to the same point, so they are not parallel to each other, but to keep our analysis simple, we assume for now that each tyre develops a lateral force perpendicular to car centre line.
Similarly to the above-mentioned mass, a car moving at a constant speed V, on a circular path with radius R, will be subjected to the action of a force Fy that the road applies on it. The magnitude of Fy will be given by the sum of the forces acting on each of the four contact patches.
Let's move a step further our simple-mass analysis and let's imagine to have a simplified car, where the two wheels of the same axle are collapsed into a single one. In other words, we can assume the car having front and rear track widths equal to zero. To make this simplified model work for our analysis, we will also assume that the CG (Center of Mass) lies at ground height, so there is no load transfer.
The overall vehicle weight will stay, exactly as the mass distribution, defined in terms of CG longitudinal position (length of a and b in the following picture). This means, front and rear wheels of our vehicle model will have to carry the forces normally reacted respectively by the whole front and rear axle.
This vehicle model is often called a "bicycle model", for obvious reasons. As a didactic tool, it is often used assuming front and rear wheels are the same. Their cornering performance is assumed to be comparable to the sum of that of the two tyres of the same axle.
This model is normally used under the assumption that its front and rear tyres work in their linear range, producing cornering forces that are simply given by the product of cornering stiffness and slip angle. Cornering stiffness is the slope of the slip curve close to its intersection with the origin. In general, it depends on vertical load, because of the shape of the slip curve changes depending on the vertical forces acting on the tyre. In this model, anyway, the vertical load is always univocally defined, so it stays constant.
In the following picture, cornering stiffness is denoted as c and it is the tangent of the angle between the slip curve and the horizontal axis, close to the origin.
With this approach, cornering force Fy of each axle can be calculated as:
Where α is the slip angle. This assumption makes the description of what happens physically a bit easier, above all if we also assume that front and rear tyres are the same. Anyway, in general, what is important is the tyre cornering force Fy, no matter under which assumptions it is calculated.
In all what follows, we will always refer to steering angle as the angle at which the wheels are actually steered and we will never consider the steering wheel angle, which is the rotation angle of the steering wheel.
We will start analyzing how this simple vehicle negotiates a corner with radius R at a very low speed. In such a situation, the cornering forces that each of the two tyres have to exchange with the road are also very small (we have seen that the centripetal force depends on the square of the forward velocity) and, consequently, also the slip angles will be very small; we will assume that both front and rear slip angles are so small, that we can neglect them. This means, the cornering forces will be perpendicular to the wheel middle plane and it will also dictate the direction each wheel is actually pointing in.
δ will be our front wheel steering angle.
This simple example is very useful to define an important parameter of car handling. As the car steers thanks to front wheel rotation, we can derive the steering angle needed to negotiate a corner under the given assumption as:
δack is called Ackermann Angle. This name denotes the angle at which the front wheel needs to be steered to negotiate a corner of radius R, when the slip angles can be neglected, which means at a very low lateral acceleration (hence also at a very low speed). This metric will be very useful later, to define how the car handles. Ackermann's name is also connected to steering systems, as we will discuss in another article.
Although the Ackermann angle is only a theoretical value, it helps us to understand why small cars (or, anyway, cars with a small wheelbase), can normally negotiate small radius corners with more ease. Its definition tells us that, the shorter the wheelbase, the smaller is the steering angle required to drive the car on a fixed radius circular path.
This simple model also helps us to define another important concept, which is the body slip angle β. This is the angle between the velocity vector V and the car middle line/plane. As we will see, this angle changes depending on the cornering condition and has a direct connection to both front and rear slip angles. As shown in the picture, the velocity vector V is always perpendicular to the corner radius R. The position of the of the turn-centre with respect to the vehicle changes depending on the direction of front and rear tyres forces. We will come to this later in more details.
Looking at the previous picture, we notice immediately that, with respect to car local coordinate system, the front tyre exchange a force with the road that has not only a lateral component, but also a longitudinal one that, in this simple case, depends only on the steering angle, because we assumed the slip angles being equal to zero. This means that the more we steer, the biggest is the force that our powertrain will have to overcome to move the car forward (although this is not shown in our picture). If corner radius is very big (and, hence, our steering angle is very small), the longitudinal component of the front tyre force would be so small that we could neglect it.
In this case, we could write the equilibrium equations for our simple vehicle as follows:
The first equations tells us that the tyres have to exchange forces with the road whose sum is equal to the centrifugal force –mAy.
The second equation states that, for the car to negotiate a corner under the given assumptions, the net moment around the vertical axis must be equal to zero. This is the condition at the base of steady-state cornering definition, which is a situation very similar to what a car experiences when driving on the circular path of a given radius at constant forward velocity. In reality, a racecar finds itself very rarely in a similar situation; probably, the only moment where a car is close to this condition for a very short time is when it hits a corner apex, although it very much depends on the corner, on the driving style and on the driving line.
For a car to enter and exit a corner, actually, the net moment around the vertical axis (Yaw Moment, N) must be different from zero, as having a net, the non-zero yaw moment is exactly what makes the car changing its heading direction. To simplify our analysis, anyway, we will always assume that the net yaw moment is equal to zero when nothing else is specified.

Q: Error importing scipy.linalg on windows (python 3.3) I am using python 3.3 on Windows. I downloaded scipy-0.13.2.win32-py3.3.exe from scipy-lib and installed it. However, when I tried to load scipy.linalg, interpreter displayed the following errors:
>>> import scipy.linalg
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
  import scipy.linalg
 File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\scipy\linalg\__init__.py", line 157, in <module>

 File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\scipy\linalg\blas.py", line 131, in <module>
  from scipy.linalg import _fblas
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

How can I resolve this issue? Between, I checked installed library modules on my PC with the github modules at linealg-scipy and they are latest, so no issue there, I guess.

A: To fix this issue in both Python 2.7/3, you can install scipy from here
It will work better than the version from this deposit.

BERLIN – An "explosive device" blew up in the center of the Bavarian city of Ansbach, killing one person and injuring 11 others, the city's mayor told local media early Monday.
Mayor Carda Seidel was quoted by Munich's Focus magazine as saying that the explosion late Sunday night was near the entrance to an open-air music festival.
The website for a group of local newspapers, nordbayern.de, reported that Seidel said it was not yet clear if it was an attack.
German police told the dpa news agency earlier that the explosion was outside a cafe in Ansbach, which is near Nuermberg.
PARIS — Several people were killed and seven others injured in a shooting in central Paris late Friday, according to BFMTV. At least 18 26 30+ people were killed, CNN reports. Sixty people are being held hostage in a concert hall, according to Fox News.
Police were outside a restaurant in the 10th arrondissement, where the incident occurred.
Lylia Melkonian, a reporter for France 2, told CNN there were three different sites where people were shot. CNN could not immediately confirm the number of places where shots were fired.
Police officials told the Associated Press there was an explosion in a bar near a Paris stadium.
Police officials in France say there has been an explosion in a bar near a Paris stadium and a shootout in a Paris restaurant.
BFM television says there were several dead in the restaurant shooting in the 10th arrondissement of the capital. Two police officials confirmed the shooting but had no information about casualties.
One of the police officials said there was a separate explosion near the Stade de France north of Paris. It was unclear if the events were linked.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to be publicly named….
TIANJIN — A massive explosion late Wednesday shook the northern Chinese city of Tianjin, startling nearby residents with tremors and noise, but it was not known immediately if there were any casualties, according to state media.
The explosion in Tianjin erupted at a container port where flammable material was being stored in containers, reported CCTV, China's state-owned broadcaster.
Marc Santora reports: Firefighters were on the scene of an apparent explosion on Thursday afternoon in the East Village, and a building at the site appeared to have been partially destroyed while another building was engulfed in flames.
A witness reported hearing a large explosion at the five-story building, which is at the corner of Second Avenue and Seventh Street.
The authorities were closing down the surrounding streets, concerned about the building collapsing further and sending debris flying.

The face of homelessness has drastically changed over the past few years. Gone are the days of bums sleeping on park benches with a bottle in a paper sack hanging out of their hand. Now we are seeing homeless families, seniors, and unaccompanied youth. The average age of a homeless person in America is 9 years of age.(2017). Most people assume that homeless kids are runaways who don't want to follow the rules at home or juvenile delinquents who are in trouble. The over 200 youth who we are trying to support are youth and young adults who are trying to change their lives by removing themselves from their living situations.
When a child is sleeping in a car because it is a safer place then home, there is major cause for concern. There are many reasons why these youth are homeless. Approximately 26% leave home due to a parent or parents with substance abuse issues. Neglect also comes into play during these scenarios; parents are so busy with their own issues, they cannot focus on their children. The next largest population of homeless students (approx. 20%), live in homes where abuse is the reason for their departure.
We also have a large group of students who are homeless because their families, even though stable, do not approve of their lifestyle. The majority are those youth are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, or transgender.
A much smaller number of students are spending time with kids their parents don't approve of, so they are either kicked out of the home or move in with those friends.
Some other reasons for student's becoming homeless: a parent's inability to financially support their child, failed adoption or foster care, or mental illness affecting the parent. There are also a small percentage of kids who are involved in drugs, gang relations, or who have issues with juvenile delinquency.
Whidbey Island also has an escalating number of military kids whose parents have been relocated. These kids often convince their parents to let them stay with friends, just to find themselves homeless when they are asked to vacate due to a variety of circumstances. Ryan's House For Youth believes that there is no good reason for a child to be denied the opportunity of a safe home environment. They are all entitled to regular meals, clean clothes, a place to take a hot shower, and the support of caring adults.
If you are concerned about the issue of homeless teens in our area as much as we are, please click the donate button below and help us create safe housing for these children. Every dollar counts – your donation is greatly appreciated.


Home » Hair Loss Blog » Hair Loss » Do you inherit hair loss from your father or your mother's side?
There are many myths regarding the relationship between genetics and hair loss. One popular myth is that hair loss in men is passed down from the mother's side of the family while hair loss in women is passed down from the father's side; however, the truth is that the genes for hair loss and hair loss itself are actually passed down from both sides of the family.
Baldness genes may also skip generations and are completely random in terms of which siblings (male or female) they will affect. They may even have very different effects on siblings in the same family. For example, if your twin brother has hair loss, this does not necessarily mean that you will experience hair loss as well.
The type of hair loss that is passed down to individuals through genetics is known as androgenetic alopecia, more commonly known as male/female pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness usually begins at the hairline, causing hair loss on the forehead and at the temples first. It can occur as early as the late teens and early 20s, and usually works backward from the temples to eventually cause partial or total baldness on the top and sides of the scalp. Female pattern baldness affects women differently in that it rarely results in total baldness. It's typically a general thinning of the hair on the top and sides of the scalp. The receding hairline common in men is usually not exhibited by women with androgenetic alopecia.
If you would like to learn more about the causes of hair loss and available treatment options, you can request a free info kit and schedule a free consultation with a Bosley professional. Bosley physicians can inform you if there is a problem, what the condition could be, and offer the appropriate treatment or solution.
