HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. in conjunction with 3M Commercial Graphics discusses the new SpecAm weapons coating technology. The newer digital patterns have provided some complex designs not easily reproduced for hand painting which has been the application option of choice by Special Forces.
German Police have requested samples from HyperStealth and weapons concealment is an area HyperStealth has been researching for the past 21 months since requested from the Military Office of His Majesty (Kingdom of Jordan).
HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. has also been researching camouflage application in conjunction with 3M Commercial Graphics for vehicles and large structures for the past 27 months and an obvious solution to small arms was the 3M ScotchPrint vinyl wrap used on bus advertising. While this 3M Vinyl technology has been used by others to place on guns for some time, there has to some modifications to the technology to allow the use in military applications - these changes are being developed but will not be discussed here.
However, one large area of weapons camouflage use is expected to be by recreational outdoor sports such as hunters, Airsoft, Paintball... and as such the existing technology needs no modifications. HyperStealth now sells different series of these 3M wrap kits for this market. Spec4ce already available to preorder in five color schemes and a sixth (Metro) specific for law enforcement and military.
The 3M material is fairly easy to apply, it can be removed easily without residue allowing simple conversion to a different color scheme, It does not stain and can be washed with water and it will protect the finish on the weapon.
Why use a good uniform camouflage pattern if your black weapon will give away your position?
This works with HyperStealth's view - if we provide a great pattern, why stop at the uniforms!

This game ditches any attempts at a story and simply plops you down in a nice little town that's being overrun by the undead, hands you the keys to a muscle car and says "Now have fun." Gears and Guts offers the user the choice of either touch or tilt controls, which is an absolutely lovely change of pace from games that either force you into one or another. Oh, by the way, there's blood. Lots of blood.
It's not all bumpers and bones, either. In addition to ramming your vehicles into kneecaps, you can also earn bonus weapons, vehicles, and "Glu Credits" to upgrade your arsenal. Glu Credits can either be earned through gameplay or "special offers" (as in the "Would you like to buy/sign-up for this thing?" variety). Purchases with the in-game currency allow for new weapons, but as a bonus, every day you can get a new free item from the store. Some items may not be usable—for example, you may receive a weapon for a vehicle you can't afford—but any spare items you have can be sacrificed to upgrade existing items. It gets a little complicated (when your machine gun has an XP bar, you have to expect confusion), but ultimately, this is still just peripheral stuff. The main thrust of this game, namely thrusting your bumper-mounted spikes through zombie flesh, is still solid.
Gears and Guts is free on the Play Store. In addition to the Glu Credits mechanism, the game is supported by some very-intrusive-on-occasion ads.


Our year 5/6 pupils sang a song about Harvest, complete with makaton actions.
Our year 1/2 pupils sang a super song about how important and GREAT vegetables are!
Our year 3/4 pupils read a poem with a play on Harvest time words.
Our Reception children have been learning about where our food comes from. We read the story of "The little Red Hen," fantastically acted out here by four of our pupils. We then thought about the different uses of flour and made gingerbread men. Our pupils read and acted out their recipe as part of our Harvest performance too.


IDO - How can an individual enter an IDO competition?
Tracy's question: How can an individual enter an IDO competition?
Bill's answer: Ordinarily a dancer must go through their National Member federation to dance in an IDO competition. Since IDO does not have a member organization from Cyprus, you may apply directly to the Presidium, through me, to participate.
We recently received an inquiry from a school in Cyprus to become a contact person for Cyprus, but their membership is pending and if they do become a contact member, you would have to apply through them.

Q: Mod rewrite: redirect on trailing slash I have a .htaccess file in which I'm attempting to redirect requests to
/something/

to
/something

...after which a second rule should run which turns
/something

...into
/index.php?foo=something

Here's my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on

#rule 1 - disallow trailing slash
RewriteRule ^([a-z\-]+)\/$ $1

#rule 2 - main redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(inc/) [NC]
RewriteRule ^[a-z\-]+$ index.php?foo=$0

Both rules take effect correctly, but the redirect in the first rule goes to a 404 and I can't see why. The correct flow should be:

*

*Request URL: http://localhost/mysite/something/ Gets redirected to:

*http://localhost/mysite/something (via 1st rule) Gets redirected to:

*http://localhost/mysite/index.php?foo=something (via 2nd rule)

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

A: You need an R flag to redirect:
DirectorySlash Off
RewriteEngine on

#rule 1 - disallow trailing slash
RewriteRule ^([a-z\-]+)\/$ $1 [L,R]

#rule 2 - main redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(inc/) [NC]
RewriteRule ^[a-z\-]+$ index.php?foo=$0

Also, you may need to turn DirectorySlash off, because mod_dir will automatically append trailing slashes to diretories. If you dont turn that off, it might cause a redirect loop.
Additionally, you may also need a RewriteBase directive if these rules are in an htaccess file that isn't in your document root.
RewriteBase /

for document root, but in your question you have URLs that look like http://localhost/mysite/something/ and if the rules are in /mysite/ you need:
RewriteBase /mysite/

Your brakes play a significant role in the safety and functionality of your vehicle. If you can't stop or slow down when you need to, you put yourself and other drivers at severe risk. For that reason, brake repairs and replacements should never be put off.
Whether you need a simple pad replacement or brand new rotors, brake estimates can be tough to understand. We spoke with Mike Bowden of our One Loudoun location to explain how to navigate your brake estimate.
Before we dive in, let's discuss why your brakes are causing you trouble in the first place.
What's Wrong With Your Brakes?
The most common reason that drivers bring their vehicle in for a brake inspection is due to noise or vibration.
If you've ever heard squeaking or squealing when you brake, this likely indicates that at least a portion of your brakes needs to replaced. Some drivers also experience vibrations coming from the wheel, which is another sign that something might be wrong.
What causes brakes to wear? Friction and heat. Think about a driver who brakes aggressively on a highway — two pieces of metal squeeze down on a third piece of metal to stop a two-ton automobile going 75 miles an hour. That's a lot of pressure on your brakes!
Once you know your brakes need attention, it's time to get a brake inspection and figure out which parts need to be replaced. Your brake estimate should help explain that for you.
Depending on the condition of your brake pads and rotors, there are three main types of brake replacement you'll see on your estimate.
A stand-alone brake pad replacement is the bare minimum brake pad service and not a repair recommended at Virginia Tire & Auto. This service is a brake job where you reuse the old brake hardware and just "slap" on new brake pads.
Oftentimes, when customers are comparing pricing and services, they'll come across an ad for a brake service that's extremely low. Although this might seem like a lucky find, take caution. This is a good sign that the auto repair shop is doing what the automotive industry calls "pad slaps". Installing new brake pads while reusing the old hardware is window dressing— and a bad idea. Brake hardware, like brakes, wears out over time. The brake hardware holds the brake pads in the right place, and if you don't replace the hardware, the pads are going to be out of position. This results in premature wear on your new pads.
A pad slap is not a complete brake job and certainly not a long-term solution.
At Virginia Tire & Auto, we don't recommend just replacing the pads. It's our goal to get you back on the road safely—and putting a Band-Aid or quick fix on your brakes most likely isn't the solution.
The middle of the road brake replacement option is replacing the brake pads and resurfacing the rotors.
Resurfacing your rotors means taking a very thin, microscopic layer off of the front and rear face of the rotors. This way, you get a nice, smooth feeding surface along with the new brake pads. This eradicates any grooves, pits, or hotspots that could cause problems. This also prevents noise and vibration and allows the new brake pads to wear evenly and optimally. Keep in mind, however, that used rotors have a friction film layer that has been removed, and the thinner the rotor is, the faster it heats up and wears.
Ultimately, resurfacing rotors when you install new brake pads is a middle price point and a good compromise if you don't want to spend the money on new rotors.
The most complete brake pad service involves fully replacing the brake pads and rotors.
Getting completely new rotors gives you better stopping power and more fade resistance. All cars have brake rotors and, like brake pads, rotors wear out. Brake rotors have a recommended thickness that must be maintained to be considered safe. Your first priority is to check the thickness of the rotor and also check the manufacturer's recommendation. This measurement will normally be stamped on the brake rotor itself. If the thickness is below the minimum, then you need to replace your brake rotor immediately.
Some vehicles require the full replacement because the rotors aren't able to be resurfaced. In fact, 99% of German cars are this way. The rotors don't have a high tolerance, so by the time the pads are worn down, the rotors are already below what we call the discard thickness. This means that the rotor has already reached the maximum acceptable thickness and must be fully replaced. Not replacing the rotors could cause major problems.
For optimum performance and if you can afford to, it is worth replacing your brake rotors while replacing your brake pads. However, if you're on a tight budget, then as long as your brake rotors are above the minimum recommended level and the vehicle manufacturer does not require that the rotors be replaced when new brake pads are installed, resurfacing the rotors could be an acceptable approach.
Bring your vehicle into Virginia Tire & Auto for all your brake inspection and repair needs. We'll ensure that you understand your brake estimate completely and feel comfortable moving forward with the diagnosis. Schedule an appointment at one of our 13 locations today!


The car business is an industry evolving at an accelerating pace, with many exciting innovations that constantly present us with challenges. The electric car sector is a hot area that is growing faster than any other. Today, there are around 3.3 million electric cars and plug-in hybrids on the world's roads. Sales of electric cars and plug-in hybrids have exploded in the past few years and are not expected to weaken anytime soon, according to estimates produced by the International Energy Agency.
At Stringo, we are following this trend in lockstep with carmakers. This is why our R&D department is working on new solutions for the challenges we see coming down the road. On traditional cars, Stringo normally grips one set of wheels, but in future we will also offer a solution for both sets of wheels – front and rear – which will make it easier to move not only electric cars but some other special vehicles too.
Developments in this area are being led by China, where we recently set up our newest subsidiary. We are currently anticipating up to 100 new carmakers in the electric car sector, whose development we can now follow on the ground. China is the world's fastest-growing car market and the country is working hard to encourage more people to choose electric to reduce smog and pollution problems in its cities. By 2020, 25 per cent of the cars sold in the country are expected to be electric.
But they are not alone. Other countries such as Sweden, Norway and Iceland are trying to promote the use of rechargeable vehicles in different ways. Electric cars and plug-in hybrids place special demands on vehicle movers. This is why our R&D department is working on developing and adapting our products for this new, growing market.
At Stringo, we will soon be completely prepared for these challenges and to follow the trend on the market.

Flight from Mayhem (Fly by Night #2), p.27
"I know just the men you need." Chase headed for the door. "I'll be back with the cavalry shortly before sunset. We'll be ready to roll. We cannot allow this creature to get away or it's just going to move on to new fields. Damn it, we just don't have enough of a national communications network when it comes to things like this. When we're dealing with human victims, the FBI can reach out on a nationwide level to spread information throughout law enforcement agencies. And this is why I'm headed to Washington, D.C. Everything has to change, given there are so many Supes and Fae in the world today."
As he closed the door behind him, I turned back to the others. "Get everything ready, Ralph. Chai, I really should go home and make certain Glenda hasn't struck again. It just sucks that I have to walk there because it will take me too long to find a ride." I gave him a soft smile.
"I can take you—" Ralph started to say, but Chai interrupted.
"I get your meaning," he said. "I'll go home and make sure everything's all right. I'll be back before you can blink." And with that, he was gone.
I looked up at the clock. One more hour until Alex woke up. Realizing that I was hungry—my stomach was rumbling—I put in a call to the closest pizza place and ordered four pizzas. Between Ralph, Chai, Tonya, and me, we would finish them off in no time flat.
As hard as it was to sit and do nothing, we forced ourselves to rest and eat. I waited until the last minute to wake up Tonya. Ralph handed her a Flying Horse, and she was groggily starting in on the pizza when Alex walked through the door. He took one look at us and dropped his backpack into a chair.
"What's going on?" He looked wary.
I glanced at Ralph. This was going to be one of the toughest things I'd ever had to tell Alex—probably one of the toughest things he had ever had to hear.
"We have a situation. Sit down and we'll tell you everything."
Without a word, he slid into a chair. "Talk."
"First, we have figured out we're not dealing with a doppelgänger. Not exactly. As far as we can tell, we are dealing with a creature called a diatrofymata. It's similar, but it's a creature from the Elemental plane of Earth. It not only mimics its victims, but it can mimic others it has simply met. And it can manifest some of their abilities, although not perfectly. Gerta, the Golden Frog? That was the creature. We think that it has actually captured the real Gerta and is hiding her in its lair to force gold coins from her eyes. And now, it's also captured Bette."
Alex let out a string of curses and jumped to his feet. "Do you know where the hell this creature is?"
"We have a good idea. We were just waiting for you to get here. We've narrowed it down to an area on Stone Weaver's property. Chase will be here shortly with reinforcements. This creature is strong, Alex. Strong in a sense that I don't think we have the upper hand. It's from the plane of Earth, and it's going to have the strength of the earth behind it."
Ralph cleared his throat. "I stopped at Bette's houseboat to drop off something and found it had been trashed. We found enough circumstantial evidence to tell us that the creature has captured her."
As we filled him in on the day, and Tonya showed him the passage in her bestiary, the look on Alex's face grew more and more troubled. I had expected him to be angry, and I knew he was, but instead of lashing out and running amok, he seemed to withdraw. And when Ralph told him about what he had seen with Bette and the figure bathed in light, he seemed even more thoughtful.
"If there's any reason you can think of why it would be holding Bette hostage other than money, it would be good if you would tell us now. We know she has cash, but there's something else about her. Am I right?"
Alex stared at the table for a moment. "There's a great deal I know about Bette that she doesn't even know." He glanced at me. "I seem to be the caretaker type. Not only am I your parole officer, but I was assigned to watch over Bette. You ask if there's any reason why this creature might want her besides money? I can't tell you why, because if I do it will cause a great deal of trouble. But yes, I do know of a reason. Bette is worth a great deal to the right person. She doesn't know who they are, she doesn't know anything about this . . . but we have to get her back alive and intact."
I had always known there was a special connection between Alex and Bette and it didn't bother me in the slightest, but now I had the feeling that it went far deeper than anything any of us could imagine. "Did you know all of this about her when you first met her?"
He shook his head. "No," he said. "I only found out after she and I had been together for a while. As I said, I cannot tell you anything about this right now. And Bette must never know we've had this discussion. But we have to get her back safely."
At that point the soft chime of the bell announced a visitor to the office. Alex jumped up and headed out of the conference room, leaving the door open. I could hear Chase's voice from the waiting room. Our reinforcements were here. Ralph and I locked gazes, but we said nothing. Whatever was going on, it was obvious we weren't going to find out about it tonight.
I stood up and stretched. "Tonya, I want you to stay here. You're still tired, and it would help if we had someone here to watch over the phones just in case Bette manages to call."
"You're just worried about me because I'm human. Trust me, I can take care of myself. I'm tired but another good jolt of caffeine will help. I want to go. I want to see this creature for myself, and I'd like to help if I can." She folded her arms across her chest and I had the feeling she wasn't going to budge.
"If Alex says you can go, fine. I just want you to be careful."
"Trust me, I'm not going to risk my neck." She yawned and Ralph silently handed her another can of Flying Horse. She chugged it down, blinking at the taste. "Oh man, give me a latte any day, but this will do for now."
We tripped out into the main waiting room. Chase was there and he had with him four brawny-looking men.
Ralph let out a little growl. "Werewolves."
"That's right," one of them said. "I think we've met at Supe Community meetings before. I'm Frank Willows. I'm the leader of the Supe militia. These are a few of my buddies—José, George, and Thomas. We're at your disposal this evening. Tell us what you need done, and we'll do it."
"Unfortunately, I can't come with you." Chase looked rather uncomfortable. "I have yet another fire that needs putting out. I hesitate to send any of my men with you, at least on an official basis. There are certain aspects to this case that I'm not sure I want written into the books. Although, once we get the federal agency going, it would make a good case study for it." He suddenly stopped, glancing at Frank, and I realized he had said more than he wanted to in front of the werewolf. But Frank just looked the other way, as if he sensed Chase had made a slip of the tongue. I had a feeling that Willows was good at keeping his mouth shut. None of the other werewolves seemed to have noticed.
"I suppose we better get moving. We need to brief the four of you on what we're dealing with, and make certain you understand the risks. Ralph, if you could go with the werewolves, I'll take Shimmer, Tonya, and Chai." Alex turned to the werewolves. "Do you have a large enough vehicle to handle the back roads? We're not off-road per se, but I'd rather not have you take a sedan or town car out there."
Frank laughed. "I got the perfect vehicle. If Ralph can navigate, I'll drive. I'm used to off-roading."
"Then let's head out. Chase." Alex turned to the detective. "We'll let you know what happens. And . . . Thanks. I mean it."
As we all headed out the door, I prayed that we could find Bette while she was still alive. And I couldn't help but wonder what the hell secrets Alex had on her.
I hadn't yet told Alex that I had been through his drawers, and I decided the car, with three other sets
of ears, wasn't exactly the place to do it. At least I had enough sense to recognize potentially volatile situations, and I didn't want to make our friends uncomfortable if he decided to pick a fight over it. I did, however, fill him in on what Glenda had been up to.
"One thing I forgot to tell you is that your ex-girlfriend trashed my house. And that includes killing a bunch of my fish." I told him exactly what had happened. "I have no idea how much damage has been done. We had to drop everything because of the situation with Bette. I dread going home and dealing with a waterlogged living room."
Alex was silent for a moment. He switched on the turn signal, and, as we edged out onto the freeway, he gruffly said, "I'll take care of it. I'll take care of any damage done, and I'll replace your fish and aquarium. Don't even bother going through your house insurance. You don't need them to raise your rates because of what Glenda did. And trust me," he said in an icy voice, "I'll take care of Glenda as well."
I was about to tell him not to worry but decided that, no, everything wasn't all right. It was time he faced exactly what kind of person she was.
"Thank you," was all I said.
"Not all succubi are like her. I hope you realize that. I've met some over the years who were absolute gems. Unfortunately, it looks like I ended up with the bad apple in the barrel." He looked so unhappy that I realized he truly hadn't believed she was dangerous. I had just shattered his illusions.
After a moment, Tonya broke the awkward silence. "I'm glad that my bestiary could come in handy." When we were in Port Townsend, she had told us the story about how she found it. It seemed more than fortuitous and made me wonder if destiny had forced her hand.
"As soon as we take care of the matter with Bette and have her home safe, we'll see what we can do about Jack Skelton. I don't like the idea of you returning to Port Townsend while Jack is still up there. He's far too dangerous. Shimmer, Ralph, and I will be worried sick about you if you go home while he's still prowling around the town." A pale smile flashed across Alex's face, and I realized just how much he cared about all of us. Even vampires had to deal with stress.
"I'd really appreciate that. To be honest, I'm scared to go home now. When I came down here, it was mostly to get away from Degoba's wedding. But I think I was secretly hoping you guys would tell me I had nothing to worry about and that I was just imagining things. Instead, I'm going to be jumping at shadows until Jack stops bothering me." Tonya leaned forward to stare over the front seat. "I sent Degoba a note this morning. I congratulated him, and told him I wished him and his wife all the happiness in the world." Her voice was strained, but I could tell she meant every word of it. "I realized, I don't want him to ever think that I'm doing anything like Jack is doing to me. I like Degoba, and I would miss his friendship so much if he felt he had to distance himself from me. I don't want that to happen."
"Nobody could ever mistake you for a stalker," I said. "And you just wait, you'll find someone better suited to you. I know it." I was starting to understand what it meant to reassure a friend, even if you weren't sure of what you were saying. I didn't know if she would find love, but she needed to hear that now.
Chai shifted in the seat next to her. "Sometimes, the person you're waiting for might be right next door."
I restrained a snicker. Oh yes, Chai had a crush on her. But Tonya was too absorbed in her worries to notice. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
As the miles passed, the road grew darker and the traffic was almost nonexistent. Early April in the Seattle area was still chilly and overcast, with a lot of rainstorms and wind coming through. Spring in western Washington wasn't like spring in the Dragon Reaches, where the sun shone cool but bright most of the days. Of course, the sun often was shining down on a pile of melting snow, but the days were brighter than here.
As if reading my thoughts, Tonya asked, "Tell me what it's like in the Dragon Reaches. I'd like to get my mind off Skelton and stalkers and monsters lurking in the dark."
I let out a short sigh. "Well, this time of year, snows are still melting over a vast area of the Dragon Reaches. You have to understand that we live at the top of the world, above the Northlands. Oh, the red and gold dragons tend to gather more in the southern areas where the temperatures are warmer and the winter is milder. And my kind—the blue dragons—almost always live next to the ocean. But for the most part, the Dragon Reaches are mountainous and craggy, and the snows flow thick and heavy throughout most of the winter. There aren't vast forests there. There are in the Northlands, but the tree line grows thin up in the Dragon Reaches and most of the timber is scrub, short and stubby from the constant winds. It's beautiful, but it's difficult for humans to live up there, and even the Northmen have difficulty when they work their way up into the mountains of the Dragon Reaches. In fact, most of them are afraid to stray too far into our territory. They are afraid they'll get eaten."
"Is there validity to that fear?" Alex asked.
I shrugged. "Perhaps, although most dragons prefer to eat livestock. In fact, there are a number of Northmen who make their earnings by farming livestock for the Dragonkin. It's a mutually advantageous situation." I paused. We were finally near the road that led to Stone Weaver's house. Ralph, riding with the werewolves, was right behind us.
As we edged into the forested drive, once again the mood in the car fell into an uneasy silence. Would we find Bette, alive? And was the diatrofymata keeping Gerta hostage as well? Would we really be able to stop this creature before it vanished only to pop up in another place, seeking other victims? As the Range Rover bumped along the gravel drive, all these questions and more raced through my mind.
Alex pulled to the side as we entered the drive in front of the house. Ralph knew the way, so he and the werewolves took the front and we followed the narrow dirt road behind them. From what I remembered of the map, we were headed through the woods along an access road that led toward the hill bordering Stone Weaver's property. Chances were, the diatrofymata wouldn't have chosen a lair that was too remote. After all, it needed to get its treasure that it stole back to the hoard without having to trudge miles through the forest.
I wondered where the thing had come from—doppelgängers were Germanic in origin, but the diatrofymata seemed an odd variant. Elemental creatures tended to congregate in areas that reminded them of their plane of origin. Very few djinn would ever be found in the Arctic or Antarctica. By the same token, Elemental creatures from the plane of Air tended to stick near mountaintops, and creatures from the Elemental plane of Water weren't found inland. It made perfect sense that a creature from the Elemental plane of Earth would make its home in a cavern or even a cabin deep in the woods.
As we followed Frank's massive SUV, Tonya suddenly asked, "So you think the creature is planning to hold Bette for ransom?"
For a moment, I thought Alex wasn't going to answer, but then he said, "I cannot tell you what I know about Bette and her past, but if the diatrofymata found out the truth about what she is, yes, I think that's likely. But we're not the ones it would approach for ransom."
Once again, a sense of foreboding swept over me. Alex's reticence was contagious and I felt myself shying away from the discussion, although in the back of my mind I couldn't help but ask, What is she? What's her secret?
After another pause, Alex continued. "The good news is that if the creature does know what she is, she's probably safe for the moment. I'm clinging to that hope."
We were deep into the woods, and the access road had become a road in name only. The dirt was bumpy with deep ruts running through it, and the rain had created puddles that accumulated in the tire tracks, forming muddy ruts.
The road wasn't big enough for logging trucks, but something big and heavy enough to create the ruts had been through here recently, and it made m
e wonder what Stone Weaver had been up to. This was still his property, but what reason would such a strong environmentalist have to bring in heavy machinery? Especially machinery heavy enough to leave deep impressions in the dirt road?
Frank's SUV made a sudden jog to the left and then eased off the road into a turnout. They turned off their headlights. We followed suit. Quietly, we slipped out of the Range Rover and joined Ralph and the four werewolves.
Around us, the sounds of raindrops echoed in a soft, steady cadence, dropping the branches to the ground below. Mist rose around us, and overhead the clouds had pulled back to let the pale sliver of moonlight shine through. The light was faint but reflected off the rising fog, casting an eerie glow, as all around us the forest crackled and snapped with the sounds of the night. Small animals rustled through the undergrowth, through the fern and bracken and brambles that covered the ground. In the forests around here, there was no such thing as flat open ground. Detritus and moss spread in a thick blanket, and it was easy to trip over hidden roots, or twist an ankle on a buried rock, or sink to your knees in the mulch that covered the woodland floor.
We spoke in hushed whispers. Voices echoed all too easily through the mist, and the last thing we wanted to do was to give away our presence to the diatrofymata.
"The cavern we're looking for is about a quarter mile through the woods here. It's not very far, but the going won't be easy. If it were daylight, we could look for the trail that the creature has most likely blazed. But since it's night, I don't think we should waste time looking for its path. We could be out here all night searching. It's easier to just follow my GPS to the cavern itself." Ralph turned and pointed into the forest. "This way. Be cautious, and if you need, find a stick now to balance yourself with. Tonya, I suggest that you stay here, but if you insist on coming with us, let's find you a walking stick."

Offender went on the run to attend 'gang event'
By Rob Kidd
John-Boy Rakete. PHOTO: NZ POLICE
A Dunedin gang member, whose petrol-station attack led to the death of his victim, went on the run to attend a "gang event", a court has heard.
John-Boy Rakete (27) appeared in the Dunedin District Court this morning where he pleaded guilty to breaching his release conditions.
Judge Michael Turner sentenced the Mongrel Mob member to three months' imprisonment.
Rakete was freed from prison on September 10 after serving two years two months behind bars on a charge of causing grievous bodily harm to Nigel Landreth with reckless disregard.
The victim died 14 months after the assault, too long after the event for Rakete to be charged with murder or manslaughter.
The Parole Board imposed a range of release conditions, including GPS monitoring, which would run for six months — an attempt to stop Rakete reoffending.
But on November 8, the gang member removed his tracking bracelet and left the home at which he was supposed to be living.
Police posted a photo of Rakete on Facebook alerting the public to his disappearance, and said he might have travelled as far as Auckland.
Probation told Judge Michael Turner they understood the defendant absconded so he could attend a "gang event".
The only possible outcome of the breach was a sentence of imprisonment, the court heard.
On July 7, 2018 Nigel Landreth arrived at the Hillside Rd petrol station to buy energy drinks on his way to a party.
Rakete arrived shortly after, wearing his gang patch, driving a BMW.
The pair exchanged words and the defendant hit his victim.
A bystander tended to Mr Landreth as he lay on the concrete with blood pouring from his ears.
As he convulsed and gasped for air, Rakete poured a soft drink over him, the court heard at sentencing.
Legislation that prevented police from laying more serious charges against the gang member has since been repealed.
Rakete - who had a history of serious violence, the judge said - will likely be released around Christmas time.
His release conditions will continue to run until March.

1978/1 SBC Minutes / 15 January 1978 Report on Landscaping of the Museum - final paragraphs / Regarding compartment 3, Mr Harris felt it was important to plant some trees behind sites reserved south of the market square for buildings, since the curtilages of these buildings would be in full view. It was suggested these curtilages should include walnut, thorn apple, etc. to soften the visual image of the backs of the buildings. AGREED Mr Warren and Mr Zeuner would present a draft master plan at the next meeting to be discussed by the Committee, and that the plan would be drawn up after consultation with various individuals.
1978/1 SBC Minutes / 15 January 1978 The Platt / Mr West had written to explain that the situation regarding The Platt remained unchanged. The Committee AGREED the removal of would not jeopardize the planning situation, and resolved to contact the Surrey Vernacular Architecture Group drawing attention to the building's fate.
1978/1 SBC Minutes / 15 January 1978 Netherhale / It was reported that Thanet District Council had taken the matter to the High Court and their case was upheld on two points of fact. Mr Zeuner said this did not alter the fate of the building. The owners, Corpus Christi, had indicated they would probably call for another inquiry. The building would undoubtedly deteriorate in the meantime.
1978/1 SBC Minutes / 15 January 1978 Croydon building / Mr West had written to say a local group had been formed to restore the buildings. The Committee AGREED the Museum's interest in it could therefore cease.
1978/1 SBC Minutes / 15 January 1978 Crawley Hall / Outstanding details relating to Crawley Hall could not be considered because of the absence of Mr Warren through illness. Mr Zeuner explained work had started on the roof and a firm was due to begin laying the Horsham stone at the end of the month at a cost of about
1978/1 SBC Minutes / 15 January 1978 Report on Landscaping of the Museum - Compartment 2 / It was explained West Dean Estate may plant a thicker road-side area in the field adjoining the Museum, providing a row of trees varying in height. Mr Zeuner said the aim was to plant an understorey of holly and yew thickening the screen which was important from a safety point of view. Mr Heymann drew attention to the importance of seeing the Museum landscaping plan and the estate plan together, rather than in isolation. Mr Zeuner explained some planting around the lake area had been done so as not to miss the autumn planting season. AGREED to leave out the field maple near the windpump. (continued in next records)
1978/1 SBC Minutes / 15 January 1978 Report on Landscaping of the Museum / Mr Zeuner said he would like the Committee to consider the report on the condition of the woodland, discuss suggestions for replanting and then consider in depth the revision of the Master Plan. Compartment 1: Gen. Hawes said the trees which needed felling in the car park area would not be greatly missed since shrubs and low undergrowth were what was needed to provide adequate screen. Mr Russell pointed out large trees would not survive since the laying of the car parks had interfered with their root system and the water table. Mr Zeuner said the aim was to screen the car parks from the Museum and thicken the belt of new planting west of the main road down from the car parks. Mr McDowall explained there was a suggestion to move the main site road partly to avoid the problems of non-paying visitors. The road would run from below Hambrook Barn through the village, the present road returning to grass. The road would be less conspicuous and quite adequate for servicing. \\
1978/1 SBC Minutes / 15 January 1978 Court Barn / Mr Russell reported a meeting on site with the present and retiring masters of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers to discuss the project. The Company expressed its desire for more space in the barn to establish their exhibition. Mr Zeuner felt the Company should be encouraged to present their theme and text and questions of space should arise later. It was important to encourage a first-class exhibition. The Company had expressed high hopes of gaining support for their exhibition and expected to be able to cover a wide range of aspects relating to lead working. Mr Russell had prepared drawings to submit with a planning application and building regulations drawings would be ready in the following week. Because of the soft ground in the area of the chosen site trial holes would be dug to discover whether a reinforced raft was necessary. He said Mr Harris' drawings of Court Barn and been "most explicit".
1977/7 SBC Minutes / 3 July 1977 Timber display / Maj. Gen. Hawes reminded members of the timber once on display at the Museum showing the wood in rough and polished condition and asked if this might again be out on show since it attracted the attention of many visitors.
1977/7 SBC Minutes / 3 July 1977 Boarhunt / Mr Warren reported: A suitable cruck was still awaited and a search was being made on several estates. Alderman Farmer had suggested the Museum should look on his land and Mrs Hallam suggested approaching the owners of the 'Mens' and 'Cut' woodlands. Mr Zeuner reported that earthworks in preparation for Boarhunt would begin in the next week.
1977/7 SBC Minutes / 3 July 1977 Proposals for Future Building Programme / Mr Zeuner explained that the financial situation of the Museum was less healthy than at this time last year. Activities in celebration of Silver Jubilee Year and bad weather had contributed to poor attendance. The general financial situation also meant that fund raising was more difficult, with firms and trusts who do agree to help distributing smaller amounts. Mr Zeuner felt the Museum should not embark on several major projects at once, as soon as Crawley, the Mill and Lavant were completed. A priority for the near future was the Museum's agreement to provide a building suitable for an exhibition of traditional leadwork. The Worshipful Company of Plumbers were eager to establish such an exhibition at the Museum and had first made the suggestion two years ago. Mr Zeuner suggested Court Barn would be suitable for this purpose, combined with an exhibition on timber conversion. The Worshipful Company would finance the exhibition and had support from the industry i \\
1977/7 SBC Minutes / 3 July 1977 Court Barn / The Committee heard the background to the dismantling of Court Barn at Lee-on-Solent and regretted that there had been no possibility of saving it on its own site. They also regretted the circumstances which led to the dismantling. The barn, which is in good condition, is in store.
1977/7 SBC Minutes / 3 July 1977 Crawley Hall / Mr Warren reported that he and Mr Zeuner were not entirely satisfied with the carrying out of detailed work on the site, and added that a clerk of works post would be helpful. The only visual change suggested in the conversion work of the Crawley Hall was on the east gable where Mr Warren was suggesting tile hanging to soften the impact of the wall facing the entrance.
1977/7 SBC Minutes / 3 July 1977 Croydon building / Mr West was hoping to get permission to enter the building and record it, now that building consent for demolition had been granted.
1977/7 SBC Minutes / 3 July 1977 North Cray House / Mr Warren said a number of members would visit the store where the timbers of the jettied hall house were stacked to check its condition. It had been offered to the Museum and, if it was in an acceptable state, it was felt the Museum would accept it. Mr Warren explained the building had been dismantled to make way for a road widening scheme in Bromley. Possible damage may have resulted from flooding in the store two years ago, although the timbers had been re-stacked. The building was to have been re-erected by the local authority, but after a change of heart, it was offered to the Museum. The building had been comprehensively recorded and had been in good condition when dismantled. A corner building, it had been an arch braced frame rather than a down braced frame and a long triple tenon joint in one of the wall plates which was quite unusual. It was felt the section which had been replaced with brick could be re-erected in timber framing since there was sufficient evidence to posit \\
1977/7 SBC Minutes / 3 July 1977 The Platt / Mr West reported he was awaiting confirmation in writing from Mr Atkins, Mr Elliot's son-in-law, that the Museum could remove the building providing permission was granted for two houses on the land.

Petty Is Cheap
By Robert Schneider
Someone once said that the worst affliction is to have no affliction. Adversity often has the effect of bringing out the best in people. This also applies to musicians. Tom Petty, who in the past experienced a great deal of trouble, seems to fit the above axiom. His latest LP, Long After Dark, shows a complacency. Although it's vintage Petty, it's also a bit flat.
Petty, who has been blessed with both hit singles and albums, has not been blessed with peace and quiet. Almost from the beginning of his mass popularity, Tom Petty has had disputes with many factions, from record companies to radio stations. He hasn't battled his loyal fans, though.
The Florida-born Petty came up the hard way. Originally inspired by Elvis' wealth and girls, the Beatles caused him to consider playing the guitar. His high school band eventually led to the Epics (remember them?). What the Epics did was play the seemingly endless Southern bar circuit. By this time, Petty had dropped out of high school, but life on the road showed Petty that there were more things to life than the Epics. After finishing high school in Gainseville, Fla., Petty left for sunny LA. What really got his career off the ground was the success of the single "Breakdown." It didn't achieve popularity until nine months after its release on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Petty wisely followed this up with You're Gonna Get It. At this time, Petty's fated legal troubles began. His original label, ABC Records, folded. MCA then claimed to have him under contract. Apparently, Petty didn't like that idea, so he sued MCA. The suit took a lot out of Petty, and eventually he signed with MCA subsidiary Backstreet. This didn't signal the end of his record troubles. Damn the Torpedoes, Petty's third album, was a big hit. He wanted to match its success with Hard Promises. Petty became incensed when he learned that the album was going to list for the outrageous price of $9.98. He urged his fans to protest the record company. He won his battle, and Hard Promises listed for $8.98.
Petty is a cynical, self deprecating man. Even now, with four well-received albums behind him, he still fears failure. He once described his own music in unprintable terms. This insulted a large number of his fans, and he withdrew the remark. He is generally seen as a nice guy, and for a good reason. A radio station in Chicago bought all the seats for a show, and gave out free tickets. Even this incensed some, and their anger angered Petty, who saw nothing wrong with this gesture. It's examples like that that makes it easy to see why so many have good feelings about Tom Petty. While the new album won't hurt those feelings, it won't help them either.
Long After Dark can best be described by the middle two words in the opening cut. "A One Story Town" is a competent, standard song. Bassist Howie Epstein, who replaced Ron Blair, immediately makes his presence known. Petty outdoes himself on vocals, with his nasal twang working overtime. The song also possesses and intermittent guitar run that flits through the upper ranges. Petty and Mike Campbell do a good job on the guitars, as usual. "You Got Lucky" has Petty and his Heartbreakers playing with a Hall-and-Oatesish synthesizer, and this effect works very well. A purposely distorted guitar solo also adds to the mixture. The ingenuity found here doesn't apply to much of the album, however. Often, the songs are just rehashes of proven Petty hits. The better moments are found when other artists are called upon for inspiration. For example, "Finding Out" really moves along, aided by a borrowed chord succession that's found in the Kinks' "Jukebox Music." The style of that classic is barely noticed, but it is there and does a great deal for that tune. Without it, "Finding Out" would be just another song. Alas, that dubious distinction applies to many of the songs here.
Tom Petty's vocals always provide a song with a unique sound. He can range from a nasal, almost sarcastic tone to a gut-wrenching growl. He uses this wide variation on Long After Dark. "We Stand a Chance" has Petty trying to replicate his hit ""Women In Love," only this time with more hope in his voice. The double-tracking of his voice is found all over the album, and it lends a richness that helps any song along.
Petty and Jimmy Iovine produced Long After Dark, and for the most part, they achieved a good balance between vocals and background music. On some tracks, Petty takes a back seat to his band, but this is rare. Usually it's the other way around, like during "Between Two Worlds." Here, there is plenty of room for Petty and the guitars, but drummer Stan Lynch is given very little room, and his drums are forced to sound flat and plain.
As i it was an attempt to cover up for all the previous blandness, Petty closes Long After Dark with "A Wasted Life," which has an unmistakable similarity to Steven Bishop's "On and On." A slow number, it has the effect of relaxing the listener, but that's the whole album's problem. Instead of exciting, the record tends to bore you. Petty should be a little more confident in his abilities and talents. He ought to take a chance, instead of relying on time-tested formulas. Maybe he should start a new battle with his record company.

Q: Overloading 'class func' in swift I'm working on a little library to create an Image with the initials from someone's name. I have a class and a class func that actually worksclass func imageWith(name: String?, textColor: UIColor = .white) -> UIImage?I've never used class func before, I normally would have used static I was wondering if it's possible to overload the function with class func imageWith(name: [String]?, textColor: UIColor = .white) -> UIImage?
Any help would be appreciated.

A: The error message you're getting is due to the fact that in Swift 3, methods are implicitly available to the Objective-C runtime, and Objective-C doesn't support overloading. There are two options to work around this:

*

*Upgrade to Swift 4, which removes the implicit @objc inference.

or:

*Add @nonobjc to one or both of the func declarations.

A: This is an Objective-C conversion issue.
Objective-C doesn't have enforced Type distinctions for classes when it calls methods, so you can't have methods with the same name.
Where Swift sees
class func imageWith(name: String?, textColor: UIColor = .white) -> UIImage?
class func imageWith(name: [String]?, textColor: UIColor = .white) -> UIImage?
Objective-C sees
+(id)imageWithName: (id) name andTextColor: (id) textColor
+(id)imageWithName: (id) name andTextColor: (id) textColor
Solution:
All you actually need to do to fix this is change your naming, .e.g.
class func imageWith(names: [String]?, textColor: UIColor = .white) -> UIImage?
which will result in Objective-C seeing
+(id)imageWithNames: (id) names andTextColor: (id) textColor

SA women's team finally get back to cricket in World Cup year
By Tiisetso Malepa - 12 January 2021 - 13:54
Captain Dane Van Niekerk and coach Hilton Moreeng during the Proteas Women's send-off to ICC Women's World T20 at CSA Head Offices on October 23, 2018 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

South Africa senior women's national cricket team head coach Hilton Moreeng is pleased with preparations as the Momentum Proteas return to the international stage next week after a 10-month hiatus.
The team will host Pakistan for a six-match limited-overs series that consists of three ODIs followed by three T20s.
The series will be held in a bio-secure controlled environment (BSE) in KwaZulu-Natal with the opening ODI starting at Kingsmead in Durban on January 20.
The team reported for the BSE on Friday and Moreeng was satisfied with how the team has managed to prepare for Pakistan.
"The last three days have been very good with players working extremely hard'" he said.
The last time the Momentum Proteas played as a unit was during the T20 women's World Cup in the semifinals against host nation and eventual champions Australia in March.
"I think for us the most exciting thing is an opportunity to play cricket. I mean it is a year where we did not play competitive cricket.
"So for us it is just to get onto the park first and we can try take it from there. We had a lot of warm-up games and camps and those went well but you can only prepare for so long.
"I think both teams are looking forward to having an opportunity to play again. When you look around the world Australia' New Zealand and England have already played a bit of cricket.
"So it is an opportunity for us also to play cricket in a very important World Cup year.
"We are happy to say that everyone who is here has shown good form at the back on the successful WSL [Women's Super League] and those who played in different leagues in the last three months also."
Moreeng's team had two tours cancelled in recent months due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The team were scheduled to play West Indies and England' but those tours were cancelled.
"You see when it comes to those cancellations it is safety first at the end of the day'" the coach said.
"It gave us an opportunity to look at the depth of the country. You could see there are couple of youngsters who have raised their hands.
"We looked at various players we had in the system and it gave us an opportunity to see our depth and see which players to look to in the future. It gave us a good indication of what we have in the reserves and for us it is very good."
The team will play their six-match limited-overs zseries without their leaders' captain Dane van Niekerk and her deputy Chloe Tryon' due to injuries.
Team doctor Tshegofatso Gaetsewe said the two allrounders are in advanced stages of rehabilitation after picking up injuries late last year and should be available for the next tour.
In the absence of captain Van Niekerk' Moreeng hinted at Sune Luus taking over the captaincy duties against Pakistan.
"I think where we are as a team and the selection panel' it is one of those things that we have discussed. We know in the past Sune did a very good job so it is a discussion that will happen closer to the time.
"So far we are just making sure that everyone is prepared for the upcoming series and that we give everyone an opportunity."

Krotoa film clinches 8th Award at the New York Film Festival!
Local film, KROTOA, will only be released in South Africa in August, yet it has already managed to conquer the hearts of international film lovers and critics. The film added to its growing list of accolades this past weekend by claiming its 8th award for the coveted title of Best Film at the Harlem International Film Festival held in New York.
KROTOA is just as remarkable and unforgettable as the historical heroin that this impressive film is based on. It is a striking tale about a woman who was prepared to sacrifice everything to give birth to the great nation we all share today. It not only has a powerful message, which anyone can relate to, but also promises to take moviegoers on an epic adventure back in time.
The film has also already received six official selections at international film festivals around the globe including the International Film Festival for Environment, Health and Culture, World Film Awards, Artemis Women in Action Film Festival and the Nashville Film Festival.
It is inspired by the historical fact that tells the story of a feisty, bright, young eleven-year old girl, who is removed from her close-knit Khoi tribe to serve Jan van Riebeeck (Armand Aucamp – Ballade vir 'n Enkeling, Die Boekklub), her uncle's trading partner. She is brought into the first Fort, established by the Dutch East India Company in 1652. There she grows into a visionary young woman, who assimilates the Dutch language and culture so well that she rises to become an influential interpreter for van Riebeeck, who became the first Governor of the Cape Colony. Krotoa (Crystal Donna Roberts – Endless River, 7de Laan, Getroud met Rugby) ends up being rejected by her own Khoi people and destroyed by the Dutch, when she tries to find the middle way between the two cultures.
The film, written by Kaye Ann Williams and Margaret Goldsmid, was created by a dynamic team of women, with acclaimed filmmaker Roberta Durrant as director and producer. Roberta is the creator of various award-winning South African television series, including Ring of Lies, Home Affairs (nominated for two International Emmy Awards and as Best Drama at the Banff Film Festival), Montana, Izingane Zobaba, Sokhulu and Partners (nominated for an International Emmy Award and as Best Drama at the Africa Magic Awards), Shreds and Dreams, Saints and Sinners, Zbondiwe, Isikizi and Forced Love; as well as sitcoms like Sgudi Snaysi, Going Up, Madam and Eve (won a Rose Award for Best comedy at the Golden Rose Awards in Lucerne), SOS, Fishy Feshuns, Going Up Again, Mazinyo dot Q, and Stokvel. She is also responsible for the children's film, Felix, which won seventeen international film awards, while other productions like Inside Out, Skilpoppe and Ingoma were also very well received. Ingoma won six SAFTA Awards in 2016. She is also the producer of the new kykNET drama, Sara se Geheim.
"In comparison to men, very few women have been acknowledged for having an impact on South African history. During the struggle, women like Ruth First, Lillian Ngoyi, Bettie du Toit and Sophia Williams-du Bruyn stood their ground in the fight against the apartheid government. However, if we dig into South Africa's rich history, we discover that there were other indigenous females – who contributed to the change and development of our great nation – even before the sisters who were involved in the struggle," says Durrant.
"KROTOA (or Eva – a name given to her by the Dutch) is the tragic heroin of this movie. It is not only important to tell her story because of all her great achievements, but it is also necessary to highlight that she was caught between two ways of life and constantly forced to choose between these two cultures. Identity, a sense of belonging and reconciliation are strong, universal themes in this powerful tale. Especially because the identity of someone, who is in between two cultures, is very relevant in any multicultural society," she adds.
Jacques Bessenger, Doen Lotz, Marcel van Heerden, Roeline Daneel, Brendon Daniels and Ernest St Clair also star in this critically acclaimed film.
KROTOA was produced by the SAFTA award-winning film company, Penguin Films, in association with kykNET, the NFVF and the DTI. The film will be released on the 4th of August 2017 (Women's Month) and is the perfect way to celebrate the lasting impression women have had on the South African nation. The film is distributed by Ster-Kinekor Entertainment.
The other awards include:
Award of Excellence at the International Film Festival for Women, Social Issues and Zero Discrimination
Best of Show at the Depth of Field International Film Festival
Platinum Award at the International Movie Awards
Diamond Award at the Filmmakers World Festival
Best of Show at the IndieFEST Film Awards
Award of Excellence Special Mention: Women Filmmakers at the Accolade Global Film Competition
World Platinum Award at the World Woman Awards
The film is in Afrikaans and Khoi with English subtitles.

DHCP client ping with eth0 and modem
but the problem is i cannot access internet
dhcp client cannot ping google.com

A: You've specified a default gateway 192.168.27.1 for eth1. This means you're saying any system on the IPv4 internet should be reachable by sending packets through 192.168.27.1.
The system is probably believing you and trying to connect to the internet through 192.168.27.1 because its gateway entry happens to be before the 192.168.1.1 gateway entry in the routing table.
If eth1 is not connected to the internet, don't specify a default gateway for it. Leave the GW entry for eth1 blank.
From the question comments:

/etc/resolv.conf option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

option domain-name-servers ... is the configuration syntax for dhcpd.conf; it is not correct for /etc/resolv.conf.

BaloneyBooks.com features books written by Lisa Douglass, author of the Gwendolyn BALONEY Lomax series of books for children. These delightfully charming tales recount childhood remembrances told to the author by her mother, who grew up as the youngest of eight siblings in a four-story row house in Baltimore. The stories are simple and ageless. They are wholesome tales about childhood and family, centered on the main character, Gwendolyn BALONEY Lomax.
The main character is familiar and likeable; each story unfolds through her eyes. The books are tenderly written, without being overly sentimental. They deliberately steer clear of moralistic themes, relying more on basic notions of love, youthful spirit, neighborliness, and the natural development of childhood awareness.
