What's that? A new Wishlist Thread? What you would like to see in future FM versions.

After having yet another backup player complaining about playing time, I'd wish we could do away with the whole squad status system. It's silly if you ask me. As a manager I would like to tell my players how many games they can expect to start during the year, which tournaments they will feature in (could be very useful for keepers if we could divide playing time like Barcelona have done), and talk to them when I need them to hit their top form (some players peak early in the season, others peak later, some won't peak at all).

Improve the 3D animation please. Current 3D animation is poor and ugly. Animation must be detailed and same as the real life. Add new and various 3D animations. Such as pushing and pull shirt of the opponent. More goal animation. More defending animation. More attacking animation. More tackling animation. More technique animation. More skill animation. More goalkeeping animation. Animation of a player blocked an opponent by a body when he is trying to run pass him like a defender such as Felipe Luis marking Lionel Messi in real life. 3D animation must be as close as possible to the real life football match. Also, new tactical feature.

Please bring back the 'target man' option (not just the role) and the 'target man supply' (head, feet, run onto ball). You might want to rename it to avoid confusion, I just want to be able to channel play through a striker in different ways without being forced to select current target man role (which is quite limited and is best suited for big strong strikers and long balls). I think this option was extremely useful and would really like to have it back.

Please remove the post match interview question that says I hit the woodwork an inordinate amount of times, looking back through my season I have hit the woodwork on three or more occasions fourteen times, which would indicate that it is an entirely normal situation.
Team: Arsenal FC
During matchday:
1. Add automatic pause option for the following events (A) goals are scored, (B) yellow cards © personal prefference (60min for subs or etc) (D) certain players gets slight injuries (E) conceding.
2. Add ingame assistant reports to pop up on particular players (can be selected prior to matches)
3. Add a warm up option for player in the bench, to reduce likeliness of injuries, improve morale (and other hidden attributes)
4. Add assistant reccomednation for substituion ingame pop up. (eg. Steve Bould suggest Sanchez should be taken off since he is not playing well, Chamberlain could be best option since he is in good condition and are motivated to get into the scoresheet).

I dont know if this was mentioned yet but i would like to see lower reputation clubs being able to sell a player for a higher price... For example in fm16 i played with hajduk split and beside nikola vlasic and balic i cant sell almost anyone at a price of over 4 or 5 million... I would like to see significant changes to that because that really is an important part if you ask me... For example my striker scored 19 goals in division 1 in my second season and i couldnt get more then 750k for him... So can you make adjustments to that so that when a player has a great season or develops a lot in a year he can be sold to better cluba at a higher price

I always wanted this, A board request to host the UCL/UEL Final it would be really simple to do and would add to the game as in FM 16 i see the same stadiums over and over. It feels really weird that my 131.000 Seat stadium never is considered.
thejoshster
Love the game but yea so much work to do be done alright here goes nothing:
Visuals: Ok so I get that football manager is not a visually stimulating game but some improvement has got to be made in this area haven't spent a colossal amount of time on FM any changes would be welcome but here's my proposed list.
So press conferences how about a little picture for example you could have a picture of say a silhouette of a manager blanked out with the advertising boards behind it (realism and revenue) and microphone's pointed at you with the questions asked below as normal.
Also on that note press conferences when selecting a tone option can it stick to that option it's a pain having to click on passionate or anything other than calm for every single question. Or have a option of a default setting so you can select what it starts on?
Kits, Club badges, competition badges all of that desperately needs the official images brought in.
Managing any club feels the same. Same layout, same look regardless of division, nature or size how about we see the YNWA sign when managing Liverpool or pictures of the stadium or training ground of that club. Even generic ones of a poor stadium facilities to world class or maybe a backdrop of the city just something to differentiate the cultures of the clubs.
Matches: Handshakes of the players?, Spoken aloud commentary would be great I don't think I have ever played a FM game that hasn't been in mute or sounds of crowds.
Being able to see the training ground or at least a default picture dependent on class of facilities.
Press Conferences: probably the worst thing in the game lads, these are a chore and are so predictable for long term users first off add more questions and make them more relevant even allow users to make their own and mod the game with it that would be great.
Training needs a new overhaul arguably the most important thing as a coach its all so generic I mean you stick it on balance and then that's pretty much it! Needs individual regimes and sessions to personalise and choose from.
Bigger emphasis on improving current players would be good, seems to have little impact regardless on if you have the best coaches in the division and world class training facilities it's hard to develop young players or just improve current.
Squad chemistry constantly told by scouts that so and so is struggling to fit in yet his morale is the same as others plays the same and never turns up unhappy what difference does it actually make?
Team talks need an overhaul seems to be that only show me something else in the second half is the best thing you can say by a mile regardless of tone really generic.
You cant talk to players on national duty anymore whats that about?
Way too many goals conceded immediately after someone scores and too many in the last minute of a game.
End of board meeting isn't even a meeting! Its just a message how about another board meeting where it takes you to the actual page and gives you a proper review and asks questions like where can you improve what can we do differently etc
Scout reports aren't very detailed and the star system makes it feel very gamey way too easy to find players that will improve your squad with it.
Transfers why when negotiating with a club do they always want monthly instalments and bonuses aka after 10 games receive x amount compared to money upfront which is what I was offering I mean you can offer 30m upfront say they will say they want 20m upfront and 20m over months and after goals/apperances then you offer 31m upfront and they take it bizarre and the other way why do clubs make an offer non-negotiable in the first round of negotiation which I will reject only to then offer another non-negotiable offer.
It would be good if we could personalise the manager's history more aka pick former position caps goals and former teams.
Fans need a bigger role in the game practically non-existent
Winning a trophy needs to have more about it often you get one extra message and that's it even a simply animation confetti screen would be good.
Tactics make a simple adjustment and familiarity takes such a massive hit also for international despite playing the same system for 6 years with 80% of the same players their familiarity was still barely competent how long should it take!
Co-op games it would be good if they made a bigger deal about it talk about the rivalry comparison stats etc
How are leader board calculated seems a bit off
Arnoldzhu
Team: ManUtd,Nottingham Forest
1. Separate development of physical, technical and mental attributes. A new system other than current overall CA/PA for evaluation of how good a player is or the rating of a player. Don't know if I understand it correctly, cos' currently if a player's CA is increased say from 100 to 110, then the increased 10 CA is allocated to different attributes according to a certain mechanism, but in reality, the case is that a player may perform well in training and maybe he is likely most addicted in in physical training such as C. Ronaldo irl, then over a certain period, his physical attributes will increase steadily, and through other trainings and matches he's played, his other attributes may increase logically and reasonably, so, then, his overall rating will become better. That means, his certain areas of abliity is improved, so that it means his overall rating is now better, not that because his CA is increase, so that he now has the chance to be allowed to improve his certain attributes. It's a logically opposite direction.
2. Mental attributes should be much more harder to determine or scout, serveral of them (maybe) should be made hidden too, and can only be vaguely suggested through observation by managers and staffs. And the improvement of metal ability should be more intricate, maybe moulded through a lot of training and teaching and lessons during young ages in youth acedamy. And the match engine should be able to reflect the difference between an experienced player and a young player. In FM16 during preseason friendly match, the first team seems to be easily beaten up by our own U21 team, and don't seem to be in control of the match throughout.
3. More versatile, specific and detailed tactical (both attacking and defending respectively including both movements and positionings) arrangements and settings. Such as the following pic:
Managing: Tianjin Teda
That pic shows average positions.
YKW
Players should sometimes run to the touchline and hug the manager! Also maybe they run into the crowd, or take their shirt off or something.
Goal line technology - Sometimes there would be a goalmouth scramble, cleared off the line, play continues, then all of a sudden it starts flashing Goal For X!
Yes, then how can the manager in the game adjust the position that a player averagely shows up in a match and the runs in different directions? Could there be an easier way to control that in the game and tactics?
You can already set their defensive positions via the formation screen. Roles and duties control the movement. So you can set it all up.
Yeah, I know what we can do now. Thanks anyway. just hope can have more and interesting features in future.

A completely different match engine/commentary for friendlies and testimonials to reflect the type of game being played.
theopert
Team: Greola
I create my own club, stadium, players, staff, league, load the game and go on holidays.
I do a season review.
I don't play the game because it's complex.
What I'd like:
Page that states how many games the player is expected to play a season and against what type of opposition... stronger, weaker, similar.
Be able to keep the original manager and watch proceedings.
Page that states what formations, mentality, fluidity, roles, duties, team instructions, player instructions, were assigned for every match I was away, including changes during the matches.
On the comparison and team comparison screen there is room on the general, all positions, goalkeepers, defence, midfielder, attacker screens to give the process and suitability regarding recommended formation, mentality, fluidity, role, duty, team instructions, player instructions for the match with a log of every match.
The game should be simple with depth... option to get rid of mentality, fluidity, roles, duties, and have formation, team and player instructions.
To keep with the human feel theme, I'd get rid of the value column because it changes frequently and it shouldn't because it should be the price the player was last bought or sold. The director of football, manager, assistant manager, scout, should be able to provide the players current value.
Staying on the subject of human feel, I'd get rid of player ratings. The player development reports should reflect his performances.
Also, for team chemistry reasons state the player religion.
Fnseixas
I just want an option to sign retired players, that's it, it happens a lot in real life and we cant do that in FM.
Also I would like that we could send an offer to a player, even when he doenst want to come to a lower league, we should be able to at least try to seduce him with our offer.
Bluey62
I have a few suggestions based on playing FM for past few years and also other Sports SIM's such as OOTP and FHM which whilst not offering the depth of FM in some aspects they offer much more in other ways. Also as social media and the almost constant flow of managers in clubs at all levels its possible for a manager to be running more than one club in a single season such as Rafa Benitez at Real Madrid and Newcastle.
Also more and more than ever before players become more involved in issues which may ultimately effect Morale, Form and even team selection a bad comment in the press, a tweet taken out of context even photo's driving sports cars can effect fan sentiment and a hero can quickly go to zero fan power is bigger than ever. I suspect FM going forward will be making these influences far more important and for realism this is highly relevant.
In addition other ideas I have are...
1. Being able to load historical data such as the teams of years gone buy Class of 92, Arsenals Invincibles and maybe even the Busby Babes, Cloughies Derby and Forest, The great teams of Milan, Madrid and Barca and even the golden days of Ajax .
Presumably the actual players would be a matter of public record so it would only be a case of adding the option to change data and start dates to run this as an add on or option for additional content. To see how this could work look at OOTP Baseball which takes historical teams for over 100 years and allows the player to re create the seasons and nostalgia with those teams. A little more off the wall is taking teams of yester year say the undefeated Arsenal team (invincibles) and pitting them against those playing currently.
2.Another thing I would like to see is being able to actually take over a current team and manage the team as the current manager for example instead of say PEP Guadiola getting the boot at Man City you could run the team as PEP and see how you would fair in the role with the same team etc. Again this would require a data change but in principle just changing start dates should make that possible it would be case of taking over a club on a given day if this could be possible?
3.It has been said there is no such thing as an un known talent these days with modern scouting, and software meaning even a 10 year old will once on the radar be monitored at least by some one.This being the case contrary to being a "newly discovered talent" the reality it's a case of who signs them first. Case in point being Anthony Martial or Rihyad Mahrez they appeared to have come from know where but it transpires this isn't really the case. The tracking aspect of FM isn't that apparent what would be great if a team needs a forward with certain criteria and over time a player achieves or is believed to have the potential to achieve that where as previously they hadn't the program offers the manager a suggestion to consider .... X player not sure if data can be used dynamically like this so may be not possible?
4. More needs to be considered regarding how revenue is generated teams like Man City have rich owners but produce less advertising revenue than say Real Madrid and Man Utd who have more revenue streams such as sponsors etc. This dynamic is more and more relevant as player wages go higher and transfer fees of relative unknowns become almost limitless. Some teams have better negotiators than others and even factors like the weather, a girl friends preferred home and competiveness of league seem to effect player choice. A less robust player might be harder to attract to say the Premiership.
Barcatrygve
I guess this have been mentioned before, but I can't stress enough the importance of dynamic rivalries. In my FC United save, and I'm finally in the Premier League in 2029, my rivals are currently Leeds, Liverpool, Man City and Salford. These I agree with, but clubs like Bradford PA and Chorley is also there because of competitiveness which is just stupid when both of them are below Vanarama south/north.
th0mas95
Please, please, please allow me to make use of the available space in the sidebar. Have another section under "Club", "Board" and "Finances" for your own bookmarks or something. I play on big screens and taking unnecessary clicks when a feature like this should be available to me is the absolute worst I can experience in a UI.
I'd also like for every single screen to be reachable via shortcuts. Add a little "Add shortcut" in the corner of every screen so I can get to what I use most often the fastest. A lot of the screens I want a shortcut to the most isn't available for shortcuts.

A minor one that has bugged me for ages - show the start date of the next season a lot earlier.
Case in point, just promoted into L1 for start of 18/19 season and start planning friendlies - you have to do this early to snag a big team for the money. I check the previous seasons: first saturday in August, first saturday in August... I build my pre-season around that, then the fixture list is finally published and the season starts second saturday in August. OK, in this case you could say it's a 'bonus' week of pre-season, but I've also suffered the reverse and had to cancel 'morale-boosters' against lesser teams in the final week.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but its a thought on how to indicate the relative difficulty of managing a club. People often say the game is too easy, others often say the game is too hard and a large amount of this boils down to the choice a person initially makes.
I think it might be worthwhile for a new section on the club selection screen that indicates relative difficulty of managing this team. With a modifying consideration for previous experience, coaching badges and such.
Sides with huge cash reserves, little debt and a history of success would be 0 star or half star challenges.
There's so many elements of the game to consider though, cash, debt, the chairmans status (is he looking to leave etc), the training facilities, the youth facilities, the leagues overall wealth and strength, injuries and a general squad assessment.
Tooltips could provide a brief overview of the clubs major challenges or strengths. I don't think it'd overly change too much within the game, but it could certainly help steer people who want it towards a more severe challenge and possibly even lead to something like a "recommended" starting point for novices to the game.

I like the idea Santy.. could filter teams by the potential challenge they provide before starting a new save, which would be nice.
3D animation of FM2016 is still look poor and ugly.
Fix the 3D animation in FM2017.
Rush Football 2 is a great example of football animation.
Adry, stop spamming the same rubbish.
Managing: panathinaikos
Here are some suggestions for future versions of the game
Proposals for FM:
•	When your team scores or concedes a goal you should have some seconds (until the replay is over for example) to cancel a substitution you have made
•	A change should be made on the ranking method of the goalkeeper. Many times goalkeepers with 10 or more saved shots (2 or 3 clear cut chances) get a 7 and a goalkeeper with two conceded goals in three shots on target get a 6.8
o	Furthermore the penalty shootout process should have an effect on the goalie's rating. It's not possible that your keeper saves 3 penalties and he finishes with a 6.8 rating..
•	Tactical analysis of the match with your team
o	Team meeting after the match (the next day) with tactical notes from the manager to the team. This could be done for example with 5 highlights from the match explaining what was done right or wrong. The highlights would be selected together with the assistant.
•	Right click on a player (for example on the team ratings table during the match) should offer you some pep talk options
•	Ability to instruct a player to get yellow card (not only by ordering him to be more harsh on his tackling) if you want him to serve a penalty on the next match so he does not lose some crucial upcoming matches.
•	Ability to contact or be contacted by a manager (with whom you have a good relationship for example) for a transfer target of your/his team or a player he/you have worked with etc.
•	Ability for a full interview by a journalist (for example after winning a title, quitting a post, taking over the managerial role at a club….)
•	Ability to buy a club (When you are the manager of REAL MADRDID and you get 5M per year you can easily buy a minor club from your home country…)

It is also pre-generated animations that is about as comparable as comparing FM and Toy Story.
I am not spamming.
I am telling the truth.
You're posting the same thing over and over. That IS spamming. Time to stop. You've been given infractions over this in the past.
The "wish" has been posted, so leave it at that. Posting the same thing every few days is spamming.
rcmuk
- Women's football introduced. It's about time this was included to give the game ultimate realism.
- Lists of all-time appearances, clean sheets and top-scorers in competitions, such as how my players compare to PL all-time top scorer Alan Shearer.
- Ability to be able to see shirt sales per player at any point in the season, as I am always intrigued by seeing the top few listed once a season.
- I think that in modern day football players get in trouble a lot for their comments on social media, so it would be good if some of that could be incorporated into the game - or even post match reaction tweets from players.
- Kit design should evolve from one season to the next. Game could give option for manager to select from a few kit options each season, or manager could chose to let fans decide
- News story when one of your players is invited to be a pundit on a TV show or for a live match or for a tournament - for example if an international is injured or not picked, then he could offer his thoughts for a broadcaster from the studio.
- Offers to become a pundit when you're between jobs or at a major tournament, or one of your old clubs is involved in a big match.
Some of these have been addressed before rcmuk, womens football just doesn't have a large enough driving force behind it to be viable. To some extent for most leagues there's already a reasonably fleshed out research process, when they're brought into FM there's a fairly solid foundation in place.
I imagine it will happen some day, but there would likely need to be a new CA/PA system more fitting to womens football to correctly utilise the scale, there'd need to be a new reputation system etc. Then the research compounded on top, just because I'm the Stoke City researcher it doesn't mean I also go to watch the womens team as well.
The shirt sales stats, kit design and, punditry and social media are either a bit too "simsy" for football manager and not really a managers role, or potentially mired in potential legal issues (when it comes to something potentially controversial involving real life people)
The list of all time appearances and stat tracking away from the clubs All Time XI I can agree with definitely. If FM isn't already tracking the information for all players it could potentially be a processor crippling element, games that traditionally store all that kind of information tend to grind to a halt far quicker. FM suffers the problem anyway to an extent (those 1,000 year saves often tend to crash on most PC's) ramping up the amount of information even further might not be the best in the short term. If its already being tracked full though and just needs a display/output for it, then it'd be nice.

Hi. First post here. A little bit lost... lol
The manager's wage is just useless, right? Could be usefull for something... i dont know.. to learn a new language to improve your chance to get a club in a other nation. Any rumor about it on FM 17? Thx!
The manager's wage is just useless, right?
Not at all. It's important when it comes to job security. Higher wages (and a longer contract) means it's more expensive to sack you, so the club will think a bit harder before pulling the trigger and vice versa.
I really want the ability to tailor players training like it was in 2015. Being able to set individual focus with intensity made moulding young players much better. Hate the new system.

I'd like to see an addition to the Netherlands roster. Because this upcomming season will be different here in the Netherlands. Right now we have 'Eredivisie' & Jupiler League. In August we have a new pyramid system. That makes it possible to promote or relegate from and to proffesional football. So for my wishlist. I'd like to see 'Tweede Divisie' added to be a playable competition.
Greetings from NL
I think this might be a worthwhile change going forward as well, but how scouts report on a players injury proneness.
Right now a player can be 18/19/20 never having been injured or so rarely injured its not worth noting yet still have a huge warning on his scout report about his injury proneness.
Perhaps this should be based off his injury history rather than the hidden attribute. It would add a degree of risk to players, I can't speak for the general player base, but high injury proneness is an instant avoid for me - even if I can't see any real reason he's described as being injury prone (although I am aware of the actual reason its being flagged up).
Professionalism should probably be another attribute that comes something more in-game incident related than just from the players hidden attribute. If someone has been a relatively good pro up until a point because they've been kept happy then for all intents and purposes they'd generally appear to be quite the professional player.
Can't agree more! And the same should be applied to some other aspects or attributes too. Some hidden attributes should be more hidden, and judgements should be made mainly based on performances and appearances, not on hidden attributes that are peeped by cheating.
I would like to request animation for FM2017 such as below:
PASSING (Switch to to other flank)
PASSING (from defence line)
PASSING (Casual)
The body posture, pose, and waving hand must be the same as shown above.
Squat after jumping animation is a bad animation in FM2016. I rarely see this movement in real football match. So delete this animation from FM. Create realistic animations that same in real life football match in FM2017.

When you are trying to convince a player (that has no intentions to join) and you go to that interaction page after about 60 attempts throughout FM it's worked once. I think there should be more ways to convince a player like saying you will offer more wages for example doubling wages or using a current player to try convince them.
I use my coaches to train players and I think there should be a separate way to train a new position for a player.
In press conferences I think when you're unveiled as a manager you should be interviewed with the chief executive and when a new player is signed you should be interviewed with the player.
Entirely off topic, but if that's your actual e-mail address you should probably ask to get your username changed. These are public forums, and sadly there's always a couple of numpties about.
The staff comments popping up in interviews and being played off could potentially be a good avenue to further reflect relationships, I can't think of one too much with the chief executive, but a bit of player fluff about why they were so happy to be reunited with a previous manager etc.
stevenvdijk
Would be great if the new FM17 version can be released in September, as soon as the transfer window is closed. So it is possible to play some months with more reality - instead of now when the FM game comes out mid November and then already know that certain players will move in the winter transfer window...
ghandour7
As a manager i would like to see more uses to my salary that i am earning to make the experience more authentic, also a part that really needs to be addressed is when negotiating my contract with the club, i feel it should be more like how it is with players more real, and a better space for me to earn more money specially after winning all trophies with my club, it doesn't make sense to not get a raise while only extending the years of the contract. Also addition of social media and the ability to have social media accounts as the manager and leaked info or maybe even manage the clubs social page to try and attract more fans and controversy.

This might be pretty personal to me, but I sometimes like to play as other mangers that already exist (eg, put my name as Jose Mourinho and manage chelsea/Man U) this is all fine but then along comes the 'real' Mourinho at some other club and it kinda spoils the immersion.
And when I was younger I'd edit myself into the game and then manage the team and pretend I was a player manager! Again the issues would come when the player version of me suddenly wanted a new challenge or If I wanted to apply for another job (how do I take the player version of me with me?)
I'd love an assume the identity option where if I select a managers name I can effectively link myself to the 'real' version. This could also work for being a player manager with linking you to the player.
I remember when Tim Sherwood took over at Spurs from AVB I deleted his entry from the database and made a 'Tim Sherwood' profile when I started the game. I role-played the save as him (starting in January) being bolshy in press-conferences and telling everyone I was brilliant and promoting youth-team players. Stayed at Spurs though, didn't leave and get Villa relegated in the name of 'accuracy'
I think role-playing as a manager would be fun, would be good for the games when you set yourself certain rules to play in a certain way and you could have news stories if 'you' do something out-of-character. Also good if you ever wanted to see Mourinho at Arsenal say, or see if you could get the England job as Big Sam, and you could have your own relationships with your back-room team who follow you between clubs.
Always found it a little weird working with Pochetino's back-room staff in the current version of the game, but can't be bothered to try and assemble 'my' backroom team every game-start.

After five years of economic crisis and the return of a recession in 2012, unemployment is hitting new peaks not seen for almost 20 years in the EU. That's according to the 2012 edition of the Employment and Social Developments in Europe review.
Household incomes have also declined and and the risk of poverty or exclusion is on the rise, especially in member states in southern and eastern Europe.
A new divide is emerging between countries that seem trapped in a downward spiral of falling output, fast rising unemployment and eroding disposable incomes and those that have so far shown good or at least some resilience.
"2012 has been another very bad year for Europe in terms of unemployment and the deteriorating social situation", commented European commissioner for employment, social affairs and inclusion László Andor.
"But our analysis shows how appropriate labour market reforms and improvements in the design of welfare systems can increase member states' resilience to economic shocks and facilitate faster exit from the crisis.
"Moreover, it is unlikely that Europe will see much socio-economic improvement in 2013 unless it achieves greater progress also on credibly resolving the euro crisis, finding resources for much needed investment, including in people's skills, employability and social inclusion and making finance work for the real economy."


The Jozi Film Festival is proud to announce the opening night film for the 2015 festival is Love The One You Love, directed by Jenna Cato Bass. This will be the Johannesburg premiere of the film which first screened at the Durban International Film Festival (DIFF) in 2014. It also went on to win Best South African Feature Film, Best Direction in a South African Feature Film, and Best Actress (Chi Mhende). Love The One You Love marks the directorial debut of Bass.
"Despite the film having already screened at DIFF, we at JFF believe that this is an important South African film and one that Jozi audiences haven't yet had the chance to see, hence its selection. The film is unique in its style and narrative, and lead actress Chi Mhende is compelling to watch as Terri - a sexline operator in a relationship with Sandile (Andile Nebulane). The two seem to have it all but we watch as things disintegrate between them," says Lisa Henry, organiser of the Jozi Film Festival.
Choosing to work without a script, Bass cast a diverse ensemble of professionals and non-actors, improvising all the scenes within the high-concept narrative, resulting in exceptional performances and rapid-fire dialogue. The film was shot on location in Cape Town.
Born out of a desire to pioneer a new kind of South African independent film, Love The One You Love proves that nano-budgets and big ideas can co-exist in a country still looking for its cinematic voice. "It's this kind of film we at JFF are thrilled to support," says Henry.

Sometimes you want to have key operation on one side side of your door, and nothing on the other side. This is what these cylinders are designed for!
On new projects this can generally be achieved by using what is known as a 'single' or 'half' euro cylinder, however in some situations you may already have holes cut through the door for a full length cylinder, and this can look very ugly on your door to have an un-used euro profile cut-out in the door and/or the handles! This is where the blank-ended cylinders come into play!
Because these are part of our modular type EPS system, you can take advantage of their high security features such as the solid steel core providing decent snap-resistance compared to standard brass built cylinders, as well as the phenomenal anti-pick, anti-bump and anti-drill technologies used within the cylinder itself.
All this comes in addition to our patent-protected profile which we hold exclusive rights to, in order to protect your security even further. Where most keys can be cut in a local key-cutter or heel-bar, ours cannot. Without prior written authorisation from the primary key-holder, nobody can ever get your keys cut, even if they came directly to us. Every cylinder and every key is registered in our own secure databases, so you can rest assured there's no chance of any keys being cut without your permission. What's more, you can order more keys to be cut without ever needing to hand over your keys to be copied! Every key has its own unique key reference that is yours, and we can process key cutting requests from you with nothing more than that unique reference.

This section covers basic options for VP9 encoding, including frame size, basic bitrate control and quality.
If you're new to video compression you may wish to watch this video to learn more about the need for video compression, and how it works.
The following FFMpeg command converts an input file to VP9 video with Opus audio. This is the simplest possible encode which uses default settings.
FFMpeg infers the type of file to make from the output file name you use. In this example, FFMpeg will output a WebM file because we asked for output.webm.
For example, the following FFMpeg command will output a 640x480 VP9 WebM video.
Smaller resolutions are lower quality, but larger resolutions require more bandwidth, more processing power to decode, and may not be supported on older devices. For VP9, 640x480 is considered a safe resolution for a broad range of mobile and web devices.
Note: Every video also has a frame rate (the number of images displayed per second). By default, FFMpeg matches the output video frame rate to the input.
-maxrate <arg> Sets minimum and maximum bitrate.
-crf <arg> Sets maximum quality level. Valid values are 0-63, lower numbers are higher quality.
Note: Bitrate is specified in kbps, or kilobits per second. In video compression a kilobit is generally assumed to be 1000 bits (not 1024).
Note: Other codecs in FFMpeg accept the -crf parameter but may interpret the value differently. If you are using -crf with other codecs you will likely use different values for VP9.
For example, the following FFMpeg command will create a medium-quality 640x480 video file using CQ mode, with an average bitrate of 750kbps and maximum quality constrained to 33.
Bitrate will vary depending upon the quality you wish to achieve, and the resolution of the video. A full set of recommendations for bitrates at various resolutions can be found here.
Compressing video is a trade-off between the quality of the output, and the amount of time it takes to create it. Generally speaking, you can always get higher quality by allowing more time to encode, but the time required to get the highest possible quality may be impractical.
Quality setting instructs the encoder on the approach it takes to compress video. Available modes are best, good, and realtime.
Threading settings allow the encoder to use multiple CPU threads to encode the video. These settings may slightly reduce quality, but can significantly improve encoding and decoding speed.
-threads Indicates the number of threads to use during encoding.
-tile-columns Tiling splits the video into rectangular regions, which allows multi-threading for encoding and decoding. The number of tiles is always a power of two. 0=1 tile, 1=2, 2=4, 3=8, 4=16, 5=32.
Your choices for quality and speed settings may vary depending upon resolution and available processing power. A full set of recommendations can be found in the next section.

CPA Supports Short-term Fix to Supply Propane to Churchill
The northern Manitoba community of Churchill can now rest easier knowing they will have enough propane supply to last them through the winter.
Working with Canadian Propane Association (CPA) member Stittco Energy Limited and the provincial government, the CPA led the coordination for arranging storage tanks to be provided to the northern community. The tanks will store enough propane supply to last until June 2018.
Over the past several weeks, the CPA has been in discussions with all levels of government as well as rail line owner Omnitrax, to find solutions to repair the Hudson Bay Railway (HBR) that connects Churchill to the rest of the province.
The HBR is a critical piece of infrastructure that enables propane and other goods to be supplied to the northern Manitoba community. The rail line was severely damaged by extreme flooding earlier this spring.
The immediate challenge for the residents of Churchill was to ensure that the community would have enough propane to heat their homes if the rail line was not repaired in time for winter.
On August 3, CPA President and CEO Nathalie St-Pierre wrote to Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister to offer appreciation for the province's commitment of $6 million to ensure that the Town of Churchill has enough propane supply through to June 2018.
In her letter, St-Pierre noted that, "The cost of coordinating the shipment and storage of propane due to the lack of railway access would have resulted in an unfair increase in the price of propane for the residents of Churchill. The significant funding from your government will end the uncertainty regarding access to propane."
St-Pierre added that, "The CPA believes that the Hudson Bay Railway is northern Manitoba's version of the Trans-Canada Highway and as such, provides important access. The CPA continues to encourage your government to work with the federal government, the Town of Churchill and Omnitrax to ensure the restoration of the Hudson Bay Railway as soon as possible."
The CPA will remain engaged on this file and remains hopeful that all parties will work together to repair the HBR as soon as possible.

neXt PRIZE: The global vote for America.
I just turned in my ballot and I'm feeling mighty proud of myself. I encourage any Americans out there to exercise their right to vote and to vote responsibly. Your vote counts more than you know.
I had blogged before about my experiences in Kenya and other parts of the world where people were always asking me about my voting preference. I just returned from South Africa where things were not any different. In the ten days that I was there, US political news made the headlines every single day. In every conversation that I had with a stranger during those ten days - taxi drivers, people sitting next to me in the food court or restaurant, waiters, people I was meeting with for work - I was asked if I had voted and who I was voting for. South Africans seem to have a clear bias and preference for one candidate in this matter. I won't say who it is (but if you are really interested, here's a hint), but you can venture a guess and I am sure you aren't wrong. (though, I seriously think that if Bill Clinton ran for President, he would have a landslide victory...he is more popular than any other American!).
On my way back to O.R Tambo International Airport in Jo'burg, Tebogo, my driver and I got into my final conversation that day on the subject. I asked Tebogo why he was so interested in what happened in the U.S.
"Because what happens in America, affects the world," he said.
"You Americans don't understand how much we want to vote in your elections...and I wish we could," he said after a pause, "because the world would be very different." He continued, "For me, America is a symbol of hope. When you are healthy, the world is healthy. When you are sick, we are sick. Look at our stock market...struggling these days. Its because your stock market is sick."
"Do you think we are sick, Tebogo?" I prompted him.
Tebogo thought for a while and said, "Yes. But you can make it better. Vote for the right person and it will get better." He was silent for a bit longer and continued..."You see, in many of our African countries, we don't have this choice. You can vote and the government fights, and everyone fights, and then the country goes to hell [he was referring to Zimbabwe]. But its not like that for you."
At this point, we were getting close to the airport. I told Tebogo who I was voting for and why. He had a big smile on his face. " You chose well, ma'am. You chose for Africa." I think I did.
Remember, you are voting on behalf of the world. So please vote intelligently.

Elisabeth Sladen Remembered By Doctor Who Stars
By WENN on 20 April 2011
Follow Elisabeth Sladen
Elisabeth Sladen Matt Smith David Tennant
Picture: Elisabeth Sladen and Anjli Mohindra The cast of 'The Sarah Jane Adventures' filming in Cardiff Cardiff, Wales - 12.07.10
Elisabeth Sladen, the British actress and star of 'Doctor Who', has passed away at the age of 63, reports the Bbc. Elisabeth Sladen joined the long running sci-fi series in 1973 as Doctor Who's assistant 'Sarah Jane Smith', an investigative journalist turned time traveller.
Sladen, who died following a battle with cancer, is being remembered today by stars of the sci-fi series. Current 'Doctor Who' Matt Smith, who worked alongside the actress in her own spin off series 'The Sarah Jane Adventures', said, "What struck me about Lis was her grace. She welcomed me, educated me, and delighted me with her tales and adventures on Doctor Who. And she also seemed to have a quality of youth that not many people retain as they go through life". Former 'Doctor Who' actor David Tennant spoke of his disbelief at Sladen's death, adding, "She seemed invincible. The same woman who enchanted my childhood, enchanted my time on Doctor Who and enchanted generations who have watched her and fallen in love with her, just like I did". As well as her time on the much-loved sci-fi series, the actress also appeared in a number of plays in her native Liverpool and appeared in a pantomime production of Peter Pan in 2008-2009.
Elisabeth Sladen is survived by her husband Brian Miller, who she starred alongside in three episodes of 'The Sarah Jane Adventures', and their daughter SADIE MILLER.

Strijelac je vojnik koji ispaljuje neku vrstu projektila (kamen, strelica, koplje, metak) iz ručnog oružja (praćka, luk, samostrel, puška, strojnica, ručni top).

Strijelci su u doba hladnog oružja bili podvrsta pješaštva ili konjice koji su iz srednje udaljenosti ispaljivali strelice ili kamenje na protivničke formacije. Najčešća taktika bila je da strijelci ispale nekoliko salvi projektila na protivnika, nakon čega bi uslijedio juriš kopljanika i mačevalaca.

Rjeđe su se koristili strijelci koji su izbacivali koplja, za što se trebalo približiti još više. Poznata je primjena koplja u rimskoj vojsci, gdje je svaki legionar, uz standardni mač i štit, bio opremljen i s dva koplja (pila) koja bi se izbacivala neposredno prije juriša.

Pojavom ručnog vatrenog oružja, a naročito pušaka velike preciznosti, promijenilo se nekoliko stvari: iz upotrebe su nestali hladni projektili, iz taktike je praktično nestala borba prsa o prsa, a status strijelaca u vojskama se unaprijedio i oni su postali osnovno pješaštvo. Danas je svaki pješak opremljen nekom vrstom puške ili strojnice. Postoje također i taktički strijelci, tj. snajperisti.

The RIGHT WAY To Cook Greens!
"There's a short way and a long way, so no excuses will be accepted for tough, bitter greens!"
Heat bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the greens. Stir-fry, I suppose, since you are stirring and frying, for 1 to 4 minutes (depends on how tough the greens are) or until greens are limp, tender, and have greatly reduced in size. Pork fat is good because it helps cover the bitterness of greens while bringing out their great flavor.
At this point, you have a choice. Either serve them straight from the pan with a sprinkling of salt, or add 3 to 4 cups of water and salt to taste, and boil the greens 1 hour for extra tender, probably-won't-even-have-to-chew greens. If you don't have teeth, clearly you see which way to go here.
See how to make big-flavored Southern greens.
Original recipe calls for "a mess" of greens.
A mess of greens is about as many greens as you can cram into a plastic shopping bag.
To get drippings, fry 4 to 8 strips of bacon in an iron skillet or frying pan until you have gotten most of the grease out and it thickly coats the bottom of the pan.
KEEP IN MIND: If you boil them without frying first, you will have to boil for at least two hours with some type of pork to reduce the bitterness of greens in general. My father boils his all day with a ham hock, and they turn out pretty good, but there is no need for that type of time commitment unless, of course, you have an unbreakable family tradition or sadly have no teeth (no judgement here, toothless ones)!
I used this recipe before and I am about to use it again. How simple! I added crumbled bacon and diced onion- wonderful!
Thank you! My first greens making experience went well bc of this recipe.


Discussion in 'Model S: Interior & Exterior' started by bjornsimm, Aug 15, 2013.
I have two weeks to finalize my decision on what color my Model S is going to be.
I'm sure about the grey leather, I like it very much and because I have the performance version I'm thinking about the carbon fiber inlay (also the matte obeche comes in mind sometimes).
What I have been searching the internet and forum for, is a good picture with both the blue exterior color I'm considering and the grey leather, preferably combined with the carbon fiber. Or I'm not good in searching or this is a rare combination . The other combination I'm considering is grey / grey and I did find some pictures of that one.
Is there anybody here that has or knows where to find this combination in one picture? I would be very thankful!
You missed it by 3 days. The St. Louis service center has a loaner (that I was driving) that had that combination. I think it worked very well together, myself.
All I have is a photo from the rear corner, which doesn't really show the interior at all.
Björn, it sounds like we have very similar tastes...I have a Blue Model S with Grey leather, and matte Obeche wood. I love the grey leather, and I actually decided on the interior before I picked my exterior color. I think the Grey exterior is the most beautiful color, but I just could not get a car that was grey inside and out (It's fine for some people, but it seemed too boring amd monochromatic for me). So to me, the next best color to go with the Grey leather was the Blue. I've had it since New Years, and I realy love the combination, especially with the matte Obeche. I posted some photos in here a while ago of my interior, I'll find the link to that...And I'll see of I can take a few photos this morning that show the interior and exterior in the same shot (Which might be hard considering the exterior is dark and the interior is light, and it might be hard to get them both exposed properly...But I'll give it a try). Want me to post here, or email directly to you?
Hope this helps, even minutely.
@Theaustin: yes, I do think we have the same taste! And I already found your interior pics on the forum, they were great for getting a good feel of the grey leather with the matte obeche..
The thing is..blue is a bit of a classy color, so thats why I'm considering the carbon fiber. To make it look classy from the outside and sporty on the inside.
did you yourself consider the carbon fiber?
Before the price increases, the carbon fiber was more exclusive because you had to have a P85 to have that option. Now you can get in in any model S by paying more for it. I love the carbon fiber in my P85+. Mine is tan leather, but it will probably be even more stunning with the grey leather. I really like the grey leather, but I didn't get it because I got a brown car.
Blue with grey interior and carbon fiber is my combination as well.
If you're looking for interior pictures this thread has some good ones: anyone with grey leather and carbon fiber?
I just got my car last week. Blue outside, gray inside, black piano trim, not performance seats/interior. I wasn't sure if it would work out but I am loving the color combo so far!
Great pictures in that thread! Since the Carbon fiber is only $150 more now (since I have to pay $650 for the Matte Obeche already) I think I go with it.

Q: Every irreducible closed has a generic point
If $X$ is a scheme and $Z$ an irreducible closed subset, then $\exists\,\xi\in Z$ with $Z=\overline{\{\xi\}}$

Here is my attempt:
Let $X=\bigcup_i U_i$ be an open affine cover. Since $Z$ is irreducible, then $Z\cap U_i$ is a closed irreducible subset of the affine scheme $U_i$. This means there is a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}_i\in U_i$ such that $Z\cap U_i=V_i(\mathfrak{p}_i)$ (where $V_i(I):=\{\mathfrak{p}\in U_i\mid \mathfrak{p}\supset I\}$)
On the other hand, $V_i(\mathfrak{p}_i)=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}^{U_i}$ (closure in $U_i$) or, equivalently, $V_i(\mathfrak{p}_i)=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\cap U_i$. Therefore:
$$Z=\bigcup_iZ\cap U_i=\bigcup_i\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\cap U_i\subset\bigcup_i\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}$$
Conversely, since $\mathfrak{p}_i\in Z$, then $\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\subset Z$ for all $i$, so $\bigcup_i\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\subset Z$ and:
$$Z=\bigcup_i\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}$$
By irreducibility of $Z$, we have $Z=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}$ for some $i$. $_\blacksquare$
Is this correct?
I'm not sure about the conclusion since the union may be infinite, which made me suspicious.

A: It's not quite correct that $Z\cap U_i$ is $V$ of a prime ideal (if you mean $V$ to give a subscheme, not just a subset, which you should): think about the case $V(x^2)$. This is irreducible but not reduced. This is an error, but it's a fixable one, since you can just take the reduction everywhere and end up with the same topological space and then apply your argument.
The final part of your argument is indeed problematic: just because an irreducible topological space is a union of infinitely many closed subsets, one cannot conclude that one subset is necessarily the whole thing. Consider the underlying topological space of $\Bbb A^1_\Bbb C$ without the generic point, for instance - it's irreducible and also the union of infinitely many closed points.

A way to fix this is to show that the generic point is in every affine open and generic points of irreducible affine schemes are unique. This shouldn't be too difficult, but if you have trouble, drop me a comment.

A: I'll write down how I fixed the final argument using KReiser's suggestion.
In case $X$ is affine, $X$ is an affine open cover of itself, so $Z=V(\mathfrak{p})=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}\}}$ for some $\mathfrak{p}\in X$ (notice that here $V(\mathfrak{p})$ is merely a set, not a scheme). Such $\mathfrak{p}$ is unique because $V(\mathfrak{p})=V(\mathfrak{p}')\Leftrightarrow \mathfrak{p}=\mathfrak{p}'$, since $\mathfrak{p},\mathfrak{p}'$ are prime. So we have proven:
Lemma: every irreducible closed subset of an affine scheme has a unique generic point.
Now suppose $X$ is any scheme. For simplicity, assume $Z\cap U_i\neq\emptyset$ for every affine open $U_i$ in the cover.
We already know that $Z\cap U_i=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\cap U_i$ for some $\mathfrak{p}_i\in U_i$.
Claim: $\mathfrak{p}_i\in U_i\cap U_j$ for all $i,j$.
Proof: Suppose $\mathfrak{p}_i\notin U_j$. Then $\mathfrak{p}_i$ is in $U_i\setminus U_j$, which is closed in $U_i$, therefore $\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\cap U_i\subset U_i\setminus U_j$. Consequently $Z\cap U_i\cap U_j=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\cap U_i\cap U_j=\emptyset$. On the other hand, $Z$ is irreducible and $Z\cap U_i$ and $Z\cap U_j$ are nonempty open sets of $Z$, so their intersection $Z\cap U_i\cap U_j$ is nonempty (contradiction). $\blacksquare$
Now take an affine open set $V$ such that $\mathfrak{p}_i\in V\subset U_i\cap U_j$. Notice that:
$$\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\cap V=(Z\cap U_i\cap U_j)\cap V=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_j\}}\cap V$$
Since $V$ is affine, $\mathfrak{p}_i=\mathfrak{p}_j$ by the lemma. We might as well write $\mathfrak{p}=\mathfrak{p}_i$ for all $i$, so
$$Z=\bigcup_i\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}\}}$$
Finally, if $\exists\,\mathfrak{p}'$ with $Z=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}'\}}$, then $\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}'\}}\cap U_i=\overline{\{\mathfrak{p}_i\}}\cap U_i$ for any $i$. Since $U_i$ is affine, by the lemma, $\mathfrak{p}'=\mathfrak{p}_i=\mathfrak{p}\,\,_\blacksquare$

Rose de Rescht
Rose de Rescht was something of a mystery among the other Rose Knights. Said to have come from a land more mythical than real, a land that had once born the legendary name of Persia, the name she bore herself was Dutch, and the language she spoke was that of remote Chemeketa. Known as the Fuchsia Knight, the color she wore was an impossibly deep pink, so dark it was almost purple, a shade decadent and exotic, especially among the Armies of the Moon.
Rose de Rescht herself never provided any details of her background, enjoying the mystery with which she surrounded herself and the attention it drew. She was a knight, but she should have been a princess, the way she demanded the impossible from her admirers. For some reason, her admirers only seemed to love her the more for it. Poems were written in her name and roses in every shade of pink and crimson filled her modest knight's apartments in Point-of-Sleep.
Rose enjoyed the poems and flowers, enjoyed the fame of her name, even when it was rarely for chivalric or knightly reasons; she knew that the games she played furthered her true goal, to be one of the most famous knights ever to serve in the Armies of the Moon.
But as the fame of Rose de Rescht grew with the passing years, so did her fear. The sort of fame Rose enjoyed relied on beauty, and beauty declines with age. When the Fuchsia Knight discovered the first strands of gray in her glossy red hair, she began to worry. Henna and the arts of the beautician would aid her for a while, but not forever.
Rose de Rescht fought on the side of imagination but possessed little herself. The Moon was said to have powers undreamed of in their mundane world, and while she did not quite believe it, she thought it worth a try--before she turned old and gray and the admiration she lived for was no longer hers to command. And so she sought out an old woman, rumored to have spoken with the Moon herself.
Rose believed more in henna than the mythic powers of the Moon, but she would try anything once, and so she made her way through twisty alleys and dark side streets to the dwelling of the witch.
"The powers of the Moon are everywhere," a woman much younger than expected told her. "You need only open your mind to illusion."
"But how do I do that?"
The witch sighed. "I see there is nothing for it but to use a little magic dust."
"Yes, please."
"Close your eyes and repeat three times, 'I want to see the Moon.'"
Rose did as instructed. When she opened her eyes again, she was in an echoing hall, warm and white, full of reedy, silver-skinned beings. She could scarcely believe the vision before her. "It worked!"
"Of course it worked." A woman stepped forward out of the shadows, hair black as night and skin glowing like a pearl in the white hall. "I receive few enough visitors these days. What is it you seek?"
This must be the Moon--and she had skin as smooth as any child's. "I seek to retain my beauty for the rest of my life."
The Moon laughed out loud. "You who do not believe in illusion and imagination ask me this?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Everything, my dear Rose."
"But I have served you well in your army. Fifteen years!"
"You have served yourself well," the Moon said. "Not much of anyone serves me well in these times." At the words, she transformed before Rose's shocked eyes into an old hag, her clothes black as night and her hair silver.
But Rose was nothing if not stubborn. "Is there nothing I can do?"
"You already have the magic you believe in," the old woman said. "Go back to your beautician and your henna, and men will write poems to your beauty for many years to come, I promise."
Then the Moon and the hall and the strange, slight creatures faded away. Rose found herself back in the witch's dwelling.
"Was that real?" Rose asked.
"The Moon is as real as your dreams and your nightmares," the witch said.
"I don't dream."
"Somehow, I am not surprised."
Rose had the distinct impression that she had just been insulted. "Is that a crime?"
"Of course not, my dear. So, how did it go?"
The beautiful knight shrugged. "No luck. She said I already had the magic I needed. Some magic!"
I am sorry to say that the Fuchsia Knight took the Moon at her word (never a wise thing to do), and returned to her henna and her beautician. But they stood her in good stead for many, many years, as the Moon had promised. Even when she began to lose her beauty, the memory of it lingered on, serving her almost as well as her beautician. When she died, she was still referred to as a handsome woman.
And so it was that the knight who never believed in illusion proved herself a master of it until her dying day.

Making the IRS Treat Americans with RESPECT
Civil asset forfeiture, a tool used by law enforcement to seize property from individuals because they have merely been accused of a crime, has gotten a lot more scrutiny in recent days due to its lack of oversight and abuse. What many may not know though is that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) also has the ability to seize property from businesses it is investigating. Fortunately, to address the abuses by the organization, Tax Policy Subcommittee Chairman Peter Roskam (R-Ill.) have introduced a bill to defend business owners from IRS forfeiture overreach.
The Clyde-Hirsch-Sowers RESPECT Act is a bill designed that "protects small business owners from IRS abuse and helps ensure their assets are not wrongly seized under civil asset forfeiture policies." The bill would require the IRS to show probable cause that funds were for an illicit purpose, implement important procedural protections, and exempts interest on wrongly seized funds from the income tax. The last time it was introduced, it passed the House by the overwhelming vote of 415-0. Without a doubt, this will protect citizens from being wrongfully harassed by the IRS.
At the moment, transactions over $10,000 are required to be reported by banks to the IRS. Usually, repeated transactions of over $10,000 will result in suspicion by the IRS so they are more likely to start investigating them. However, since their use of civil asset forfeiture has little oversight, abuse is inevitable.
A report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that the IRS had seized $17 million from innocent business owners between 2012 and 2014, which was 91 percent of the total funds it seized. That means barely a fraction of the money seized had anything to do with criminal activity. As was said by Chairman Roskam, "If the IRS had used its civil asset forfeiture authority solely to disrupt criminal enterprises, we wouldn't be marking up this bill, but of course that's not what happened."
Of course, the amount is not nearly as significant as the damage it caused. Convenience store owner Lyndon McLellan had $107,000 seized from him, commenting "It took me 13 years to save that much money, and 13 seconds for the government to take it away." Meanwhile, the IRS raided the bakery of David Vocatura and took over $68,000 taken from him because he had made several transactions between 2007 and 2009 ranging from $7,000 to $9,900. Three years later, they returned his cash which has to be an acceptance that no wrong was committed.
This of course has happened across the country. $33,000 was seized after from Carole Hinders for "making frequent small cash deposits" despite the fact that it was all legally acquired through her Iowa restaurant (which only accepted cash) while in Michigan Terry Dehko and Sandy Thomas's grocery store had $35,000 despite they had recently received an audit that found them committing no wrong. All of this is a lot of cash of which losing is a significant problem.
Overall, the RESPECT Act is of the greatest importance in the reform of civil asset forfeiture. The bill would significantly cut down on abuse by the IRS and protect the property rights of individuals. That is why it is important that it passes and should be supported.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to encourage the manufacture of e–bikes in the UK.
Baroness Randerson (Lib Dem)
Lockdown has been a cyclist's paradise, with much talk about active travel, but then the Prime Minister encouraged us to take to our cars again and told us that we must avoid public transport. At a stroke, the benefits of lower emissions, for our planet and for our personal health, are potentially lost. In fact, it is significantly worse than it was before the pandemic, because, normally, 14.5 million people drive to work across England and Wales each day, and 4.2 million people use public transport. A study by Westminster University predicts that there will now be 1 million additional rush hour vehicles using the roads. That is a 22% increase in London, for example, and it is unsustainable in every sense of the word.
Ironically, the virus has given us a glimpse of a less polluted, healthier world. The Government must seize the moment to introduce radical, comprehensive measures to reduce transport-related pollution, because transport is the biggest polluter. Such measures include changing the planning rules so that no new housing developments can be built until a safe, active travel network is in place; moving freight off the roads and on to rail; electrifying the railways; and reinvigorating the bus industry by funding greener buses and devolving real powers to local authorities to control them. We should reward those who work from home, and, wherever possible, we should take services to people in rural areas.
We need a sustainable transport revolution starting now and not at some distant target date.

Legazpi diocese Bishop Joel Zamudio Baylon, one of the strong proponents for the privatization of ALECO, an opportunity grabbed by San Miguel Energy Corporation to incorporate the Albay Power Energy Corporation after it (SMEC) won the bidding which sidetracked the will of the consumers and employees of the cooperative.
Indeed, with the alarming upheaval in the belly of beguiling Mayon Volcano, another one is letting out a steam of its own.
It would seem to confirm that Albay is home to two volcanoes that both pose threat to health and normal economic life of the province.
We are referring to the power provider Albay Power and Energy Corporation that was "forced-managed" to rise from the ashes of ALECO.
The latest buzz from disgruntled consumers come from the religious sector. Catholic priests in the Legazpi diocese numbering about 45, in an open letter, are said to have assailed the anti-poor prioritization of reconnection to marginal consumers who has been without electric service after the recent typhoon Glenda.
Joining the chorus are members of the local business community who has described the power supply in Albay as dismal and frustrating.
Tronqued is the first signatory of the open letter which called the attention of Albay governor Joey Sarte Salceda, one of the major proponents of the electric coop privatization.
There should be cause for concern as according to the ALECO employees association, a mere 30 per cent of the consumers have been restored of the power supply.
But while it is taking long to normalize its service, the management is being assailed for the alleged implementation of selective power reconnection per consumer. Those with records of unpaid or outstanding electric bills face the sanction of no reconnection until bills are fully paid.
Proponents of the open letter cautioned that some priests were not able to grab the opportunity in signing the letter but given the chance will affix their signature, too, even as the sentiment in the note was not the official stand nor endorsed by the diocese.
It must be recalled that Bishop Joel Baylon, together with Salceda and other local government officials, were the convenors for the ALECO privatization which caused the termination of hundreds of coop employees in exchange for the promise of San Miguel Energy Corporation of a better service despite their inexperience in running an electric cooperative.
In some areas where distribution lines were restored with power, consumer themselves reconnected the service on their own initiative which expose them to danger of electrocution.

of course, the proponents and convenors may not openly contradict their wrong decision and judgement.


Paul Pogba returned from injury to inspire Manchester United to a 4-1 win over Newcastle at Old Trafford.
The France midfielder, fit again after a two-month absence, scored and set up another goal as United replied to Dwight Gayle's early strike to keep themselves eight points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Pogba created the equaliser for Anthony Martial before Chris Smalling put the hosts ahead. Pogba then increased the advantage and Romelu Lukaku made victory certain by ending his barren run.
United's night got even better when they were able to bring Zlatan Ibrahimovic, out since April with a knee injury, on for his long-awaited comeback in the closing stages.
The result meant United boss Jose Mourinho got the better of his old rival Rafael Benitez in their first clash for a decade.
Pogba restored fluidity and dynamism to United's midfield but the Magpies looked equally dangerous in the early stages.
Lukaku spurned the first chance when he headed over but Ciaran Clark was also off target at the other end.
Newcastle grabbed the lead in the 14th minute after DeAndre Yedlin broke clear down the right and pulled the ball back. Victor Lindelof, making his first league start for United, slipped and Gayle took advantage to fire in a low shot off the post.
It was the first home goal United had conceded in the league this season and a second almost followed as Jonjo Shelvey played in Jacob Murphy but he shot wide.
United responded with Lukaku heading over before Pogba floated in a tempting cross for Martial to power home a 37th-minute equaliser.
Joselu headed dangerously close to his own goal as United threatened another but Newcastle continued to fight with Shelvey trying his luck from distance.
United went ahead in first-half stoppage time as Smalling, still forward following a corner, rose to meet an Ashley Young cross at the far post.
It gave the hosts an advantage they almost immediately lost as Newcastle put together another quick counter-attack. Isaac Hayden broke into the area but his shot was parried by David de Gea and Matt Ritchie's follow-up was deflected wide by Gayle.
United made the most of that reprieve to increase their advantage early in the second half. Lukaku's cross from the right was met by a cushioned header from Marcus Rashford and Pogba raced in to tap over the line.
That gave United a measure of control but Newcastle went close again as Murphy forced De Gea into a good save.
Pogba was withdrawn with just over 20 minutes remaining to a good ovation but there was more to come from United as Lukaku increased their lead moments later.
The Belgian exchanged passes with Juan Mata and lashed a shot into the roof of the net for his first United goal since September.
That left the crowd in good heart and they had even more reason to cheer as Ibrahimovic came on to help close out the victory.

Q: Dealing with evolving schemas We are a gaming company that stores events (Up to 1 giga events per day) to bigquery. Events are sharded over month and application in order to lower query costs.
Now to our problem.
Our current solution supports adding new type of events which leads to new versions of the table schema. This versions has also been added to the tables.
I.e. events_app1_v2_201308 and events_app1_v2_201308
If we add events with new column types in september we will also get events_app1_v3_201309
We have written code that finds out involved tables (for a date range) and makes a union of them a'la bigquery's comma separeted FROM clause.
But I just realised that this will NOT work when we make unions over different versions of the event tables.
Anyone that has a smart solution of how to deal with this!?
Right now we are investigating if JSON structures could help us. The current solution is just flat columns. [timestamp, eventId, value, value, value, ...]
From https://developers.google.com/bigquery/query-reference#from
Note: Unlike many other SQL-based systems, BigQuery uses the comma syntax to indicate table unions, not joins. This means you can run a query over several tables with compatible !? schemas as follows:

A: You should be able to modify the table schema of the old tables to add columns, then the union should match. Note that you can only add columns, not remove them. You can use the tables.patch() method to do this, or bq update --schema
Moreover, as long as the new fields aren't marked REQUIRED, they should be considered compatible. If this is not the case, however, it would be a bug -- let us know if that is what you're experiencing.

Research conducted at Vanderbilt is featured in Brains on Trial with Alan Alda, a two-part televised series airing Sept. 11 and Sept. 18 on PBS that explores how the growing ability to separate truth from lies may radically affect the way criminal trials are conducted in the future. It will be shown at 9 p.m. central time on WNPT, Nashville's public television station.
For about seven minutes near the end of the second hour, Alda visits with Rene Marois, professor of psychology to discuss research on law and neuroscience at Vanderbilt using brain imaging. In addition to the two-hour special, the series has an accompanying website that includes commentary from Owen Jones, New York Alumni Chancellor's Chair in Law, professor of biological sciences and director of the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience.
Imaging work using fMRI and rTMS by Marois and Jones has revealed, among other findings, the brain activity underlying decisions about whether to punish someone and, if so, how much. Some of this law and neuroscience work is funded by more than $5 million in grants from the MacArthur Foundation, which established a new national research network headquartered at Vanderbilt and headed by Jones.
Brains on Trial centers around the trial of a fictional crime: a robbery staged in a convenience store. While the crime is fictional, the trial is conducted before a real federal judge and argued by actual practicing attorneys. The first part concludes with the jury's verdict. The second part looks at the sentencing phase.
The trial segments are interspersed with segments on neuroscience research that already has influenced Supreme Court decisions. Former Vanderbilt law faculty Nita Farahany, now at Duke University, is also interviewed.
The neuroscientists demonstrate how functional MRIs and other brain scanning techniques are exploring lie detection, facial recognition, memory decoding, racial bias, brain maturity, intention and emotion. Brains on Trial ultimately seeks to explore whether neuroscience can make the criminal justice system more just.

ECHO Charter School is located in rural Southwest Minnesota. We first opened our doors in 1997. A group of concerned parents and other community members gathered to discuss the desire to establish a school that was more geographically convenient than the existing school districts and would better meet the specific, individual needs of their children. They wanted a school that was small, one where students felt comfortable and, ideally, where parents would have more input into their children's education. In our first year, we served 44 students grades K-6 and have expanded to now serve 100+ students grades K-12.
Our school's foundation is the improvement in student learning for Every Child. When we started out, we recognized the value of first focusing on the basics: Reading, Writing, and Math. In support of this focus, we have chosen the Core Knowledge Curriculum as the foundation for our scope and sequence. Other reasons parents choose to send their children to ECHO include:
Small class sizes allowing for increased individual attention;
Family atmosphere with a unified effort on the part of students, parents and staff;
A focus and capacity to design individualized instructional plans for students;
True site-based decision making with ideas originating from students, parents, and staff;
Travel opportunities for students not available in neighboring school districts. A few of the destinations that are part of our rotation of trips include the Black Hills of SD, The North Shore of MN, Washington DC and New York City;
Extracurricular activities in a small-school environment in which all students can participate at a high level (rather than just sitting on the bench).
Project- Based Learning for electives
Our Vision is to be, the most highly respected school in Southwest Minnesota noted for caring, innovating and preparing students to succeed.
Our Mission: ECHO Charter School's mission is to be your school of choice by preparing students to achieve to their highest potential through an innovative and uniquely flexible curriculum.
