Rivian Automotive, Inc., formerly known as Mainstream Motors and then Avera Automotive, is an American electric vehicle manufacturer and automotive technology company founded in 2009. Rivian is building an electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) and pickup truck on a "skateboard" platform that can support future vehicles or be adopted by other companies. An electric delivery van is also being built as part of a partnership with Amazon. Rivian started deliveries of its R1T pickup truck in late 2021. The company plans to build an exclusive charging network in the United States and Canada by the end of 2023.

Rivian is based in Irvine, California, with its manufacturing plant in Normal, Illinois, and other facilities in Palo Alto, California; Carson, California; Plymouth, Michigan; Vancouver, British Columbia; Wittmann, Arizona; and Woking, England. Additionally, Rivian has plans to build another US$5 billion factory in Georgia.

The company raised over US$13.5 billion in financing following its IPO in November 2021.

History
The company was founded in 2009 as Mainstream Motors by Robert "RJ" Scaringe. After being renamed as Avera Automotive or Avera Motors, and finally Rivian Automotive in 2011 (a word play on the Indian River in Florida, where Scaringe grew up), the company began focusing on autonomous and electric vehicles.

Rivian's first car model was intended to be a sports car. This vehicle, dubbed the R1, was prototyped as a mid-engine hybrid coupe for the U.S. market, designed by Peter Stevens. However, it was shelved in late 2011 as Rivian looked to restart its business in an effort to have a larger impact on the automotive industry.

Rivian received a large investment and grew significantly in 2015, opening research facilities in Michigan and the Bay Area. Shortly thereafter, Rivian began working exclusively on electric autonomous vehicles, in an attempt to build a network of related products. It also began gearing its prototypes toward the "ride-sharing and driverless car markets."

By September 2016, Rivian was negotiating to buy a manufacturing plant formerly owned by Mitsubishi Motors in Normal, Illinois. In January 2017, Rivian acquired the plant and its manufacturing contents for $16 million, with the plant to become Rivian's primary North American manufacturing facility. Rivian's acquisition of a near production-ready facility instead of building a new factory has been likened to Tesla's acquisition of the NUMMI plant in California.

In December 2017, Rivian revealed its first two products: an electric five-passenger pickup truck and an electric seven-passenger SUV, provisionally named the A1T and A1C, respectively. In November 2018, the truck and SUV were renamed the R1T and R1S, respectively, and unveiled at the LA Auto Show. Both vehicles were described as ready for rough terrain and semi-autonomous, and the company outlined a plan for its next generation of models to be fully autonomous. Production was scheduled to begin in 2020.

Rivian had 250 employees at the start of 2018. By February 2019, however, Rivian was employing 750 people across facilities in Michigan, Illinois, California, and the United Kingdom. In November 2020, Rivian employed 3,000-plus workers. Over the span of another year, employment roughly tripled, and in November 2021, Rivian was listed as having 9,000-plus employees.

In late 2020, Rivian planned to begin shipments of the R1T in June 2021. The June 2021 date later slipped to August. By August, vehicle shipments were delayed again, partly due to the global shortage of chips. In September 2021, Rivian became the first automaker to bring a fully electric pickup to the consumer market, beating industry mainstays such as GM, Ford, and Tesla. In October 2021, Rivian began delivering the R1T truck to customers.

On November 10, 2021, Rivian became a public company through an IPO. 153 million shares were sold at an initial offering price of $78.00, valuing the company at $66.5 billion. The shares began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker "RIVN." On its first trading day, the stock closed at $100.73 per share, valuing the company at just under $100 billion.

On November 19, 2021, Ford and Rivian announced that the two automakers no longer plan to co-develop an electric vehicle. Ford announced the company would retain a 12 percent stake in Rivian, which reached a value of more than $10 billion after the IPO. Ford sold around 90 percent of its stake in Rivian for $3 billion by the end of 2022, an increase from its $1.2 billion investment.

In December 2021, at the same time that Rivian began to deliver its R1S SUVs, Rivian's chief operations officer, Rod Copes, stepped down and retired from the company as it began to ramp up production of its vehicles.

On March 1, 2022, Rivian announced price increases of 17% for the R1T and 20% for the R1S, citing a shortage of semiconductors and higher costs for other components. There was immediate backlash from customers that had previously made reservations as the price hike would also affect their preorders. Rivian later apologized for the retroactive price increases and stated that the original configured price would be honored for anyone with a Rivian preorder as of the March 1 pricing announcement.

On March 14, 2022, Rivian announced the company hired Frank Klein as its COO (chief operations officer). Klein began on June 1, 2022.

In March 2022, Rivian made it to TIME's List of 100 Most Influential Companies of the year 2022.

On July 27, 2022, Rivian announced it would reduce its workforce by 6% in response to high inflation, rising interest rates, and an increase in parts prices.

In August 2022, regulatory filings revealed that investor George Soros sold roughly 8.5 million of shares of the company while at the same time buying Tesla and Ford.

In September 2022, Rivian signed an MoU with Mercedes-Benz Group to establish a joint venture to invest in and operate a factory in Europe, producing large commercial electric vans starting in a "few years." The facility will have a common assembly line to produce a different design for each company. The New York Times characterized the move as "a rare example of cooperation between a traditional carmaker and a new challenger" and noted that Mercedes' extensive experience in manufacturing may allow Rivian to overcome its own issues with it. Rivian said this planned partnership would not go forward with this plan in December 2022 but stated that future collaborations may still be possible.

In October 2022, Rivian issued a recall of 13,000 vehicles after a manufacturing error was found.

In January 2023, The Wall Street Journal reported the company experienced the departure of multiple top executives in recent months, including some that were among its longest-tenured employees, in what was referred to as a "challenging period for Rivian."

Vehicles
Designed to be capable off-road, both R1 models have  of ground clearance. The truck was claimed in early testing to be able to accelerate from  in under 3 seconds, wade through  of water and climb a 45degree incline. The truck has a motor near each of the four wheels, and like some competitors, each wheel can be controlled interdependently. According to Engadget, "the most expensive models will reach around  on a charge and feature [an] 800HP [] electric motor Scaringe stated would beat Italian supercars." Rivian has said it is designing the vehicles to facilitate "carsharing" with their autonomous features. In addition, Rivian announced the intention to make an electric delivery van (EDV) in three different sizes, capable of carrying  of packages. All three EDVs would share their basic electrical and network architecture, ECUs and battery packs with the Rivian R1 models.

As of December 2021, Rivian reported that it has over 71,000 pre-orders for its R1 models. They produced a total of 24,337 cars in 2022. A recall of 13,000 vehicles was issued in October 2022 due to a potential loose fastener.

R1T

The R1T features four electric motors, two located on each axle (front and rear). The front two motors produce  and  of torque while the rear two motors produce  and  of torque. The result is a Rivian-claimed  time of 3.0 seconds.

The Rivian R1T is offered with three battery sizes: 105 kWh, 135 kWh, or 180 kWh. The R1T has a projected range of  with the smallest battery,  with the medium battery and over  with the largest battery. Extra batteries can be mounted in the R1T's bed for improved range. Those backup/auxiliary batteries can be charged by another R1T, if no charging infrastructure is available.

In December 2021, the R1T was named the Motor Trend Truck of the Year.

In August 2022, the company announced it would eliminate the base model of the R1T, called the Explore package, due to low customer demand, and would emphasize the Adventure model. The company said this would help it "streamline" its supply chain issues and deliver as many vehicles as possible.

R1S

The R1S is a sport utility vehicle version of the first Rivian platform. Because of a shared electric chassis, the R1S design aimed, , to have 91 percent shared components with the R1T. The chassis includes braking, suspension and cooling systems with a battery in the center. Rivian's skateboard platform is a relatively flat, low center of gravity chassis typical of electric vehicles, which enables straightforward modification for different body types.

Electric Delivery Van (EDV)

Rivian entered into a commercial agreement with its investor Amazon, Inc. in February 2019. By September 2019, Amazon's Logistics division had agreed to collaborate with Rivian to design, produce, and purchase 100,000 electric delivery vehicles (EDVs). Initial plans suggested a first delivery date in 2021. , Amazon expected to have as many as 10,000 electric vans in operation by 2022, but was not planning to take delivery of the entire 100,000 Rivian vans the contract calls for until 2030. In November 2022, Rivian announced that it had delivered 1,000 EDVs to Amazon. The Rivian collaboration is part of Amazon's plan to convert its delivery fleet to 100% renewable energy by 2030.

The van is slated to be built in three sizes, carrying , , or  of packages, each with the same stand-up interior height, but with a narrower smallest model. All of the vans will be built on the same platform, which shares the same electrical and network architecture, ECUs, and battery-pack design with the Rivian R1T/R1S models; most will use a basic single-motor e-axle drive unit driving the front wheels. The van is to be produced exclusively for Amazon, and will be built with a steel chassis on a "low-feature-content" assembly line to keep costs down. The van is explicitly designed to allow Amazon to reduce costs and shrink its carbon footprint.

A  prototype for the Amazon electric delivery van was tested on public roads in early 2021. Testing began in Los Angeles and San Francisco. By April 2021, testing was being conducted in Denver with plans to test in 16 U.S. cities in different climate zones. Tests in Oklahoma and Michigan were underway by July 2021.
Amazon contracted Rivian to eventually deliver 100,000 electric delivery vans. Amazon also will source electric vans and three-wheelers from other OEMs, such as Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz Group, and Mahindra. Deployment of the electric delivery vans began in nine U.S. cities in July 2022.

Under terms of a 2019 agreement, Rivian was required to sell all of the vans it makes to Amazon. In early 2023, it was reported that Amazon had notified Rivian that it wanted to buy about 10,000 vans during the year. As this was at the low end of a range previously provided to the auto maker, in response Rivian sought to remove the exclusivity terms of the agreement. If Amazon agrees to end the exclusivity arrangement, Rivian would be free to seek new commercial customers for the vans.

EV charging

In March 2021, Rivian announced ambitious plans to develop a network of public charging stations across the United States and Canada by the end of 2023. Similar to competitor Tesla, it plans to offer a combination of fast chargers and slower destination chargers and also sell home chargers. The target for the charging network is set for 600 Rivian-exclusive Adventure Network sites made up of 3,500 DC fast chargers at high-traffic locations; 200 kW will be the initial charging speed, with an eventual target of 300 kW.

The company is also planning 10,000 destination chargers (Level 2, 11.5 kW)—called "Rivian Waypoints"—at retail, lodging and dining businesses, as well as parks and other locations; Waypoint chargers are designed to be usable by all electric vehicles with a J1772 connector. Starting July 2021, Rivian planned to install two Rivian Waypoint chargers at up to 50 Colorado State Parks and state recreation areas. However, by October, none had yet been installed as the contract was still making its way through state government bureaucracy with first installations expected in early 2022. In September 2021, the first Waypoint 11.5 kW chargers were installed near Moab, Utah.

In July 2021, Rivian and the state of Tennessee announced plans to install Waypoint chargers at all 56 Tennessee state parks, saying that "Rivian will begin site surveys and engineering over the summer, with installation beginning as early as fall 2021". The first site, Radnor Lake State Park, was unveiled on October 1, 2021.

Facilities

Rivian is headquartered in Irvine, California, with its location focusing on vehicle engineering and design, propulsion and battery system development, and commercial functions. Rivian's sole production factory in Normal, Illinois, manufactures vehicle components, such as battery packs. The 2.6-million-square-foot (240,000 m2) plant has a paint shop, robotics, stamping machines, and other production equipment, such as injection molding. Rivian's facility in Plymouth, Michigan, focuses on vehicle engineering, prototyping, supply chain, and accounting. Rivian's facility in Palo Alto, California, focuses on software development and engineering, including self-driving features. The company has additional office locations in Carson, California, and Woking, England, working on electric power conversion and advanced engineering, respectively.

Rivian's Normal factory has steadily grown over the years. In July 2020, Rivian's plans for additions totaling 576,000 sq ft to its production facility were approved by the town council. In October 2021, Rivian made public plans to grow the facility with a  addition to be built on the west side of the existing facility, which if built would bring the total Rivian facility size to .

In December 2021, Rivian announced plans to build a $5 billion battery and assembly plant east of Atlanta. Construction is planned to begin in summer 2022 with car production beginning in 2024 with plans to manufacture up to 400,000 vehicles a year. The plant is currently projected to employ 7,500 workers with possible growth to 10,000 workers. Some locals are opposed to the Rivian plant with reasons such as environmental concerns and government costs, including Georgia proposing to allocate $125 million for costs associated with the factory.

Finances
As of December 2021, Rivian is a public company trading under the symbol RIVN on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Funding
From initial seed stage capital invested by CEO Scaringe in 2009 to its final $2.5 billion round in 2021, Rivian secured 10 rounds of private funding to support the completion of development of line of its vehicles and build out to support production. On November 10, 2021, the company completed its initial public offering, raising $13.5 billion.

Private capital funding

On November 19, 2021, Ford and Rivian announced that they no longer plan to co-develop an electric vehicle. Originally, both companies had planned the joint development of a vehicle for Ford's luxury Lincoln brand. Those plans were canceled in 2020. Ford continued to hold a stake in Rivian, valued at over $10 billion as of November 2021.

In December 2019, Rivian announced it raised billion in a round led by investment manager T Rowe Price with existing investors Ford and Amazon, alongside new investors London/New York firm Pario Ventures and BlackRock-managed funds.

2021 – Announced on January 19, 2021, Rivian raised $2.65 billion led by existing investor T. Rowe Price alongside Soros Fund Management, Fidelity Management & Research, Coatue Management, BlackRock-managed funds, Abdul Latif Jameel, and Amazon, now through its Climate Pledge Fund, plus new investors D1 Capital Partners. Abdul Latif J holds almost 114 million shares in Rivian acquired through $303 million of loans made to the company. Bloomberg estimated the company's value at nearly $28 billion.

Announced on July 23, 2021, Rivian raised $2.5 billion in a round led by Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund, D1 Capital Partners, and Ford Motor Company, alongside existing investors T.

At that value, it was worth more than General Motors or Ford and was behind only Tesla in terms of the market cap of automakers. CEO R.J. Scaringe's ownership of 17.6 million shares was worth approximately $2 billion.

Amazon purchased $200 million of stock in the IPO, raising its total stake in Rivian to 22%. Previously, in October 2021, Amazon stated that it owned a 20% stake in the company.

The stock peaked at a closing price of $146.07 on November 13, 2021.

During a live stream on June 15, 2019, Rivian announced plans to collaborate with the Honnold Foundation and nonprofit Casa Pueblo on a solar project aiming to establish a microgrid in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, a city that was severely affected by Hurricane Maria in 2017. Rivian planned to repurpose used battery packs from its development vehicles into stationary energy storage units. The microgrid is intended to grant residents access to electricity for core business and will be used daily to mitigate the high cost of energy in Puerto Rico, which is twice the U.S. national average. The project was expected to launch in 2020.

In 2019, Rivian partnered with actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman to provide the first ever production pickups (VIN 000001 and 000002) for use as logistics vehicles and camera cars for the British TV series Long Way Up. They also set up 240 level 2 and level 3 charging stations at 140 locations, along the route from Tierra del Fuego to Los Angeles.

Rivian partners with Yakima for their roof racks (bike, kayak, surfboard etc) and rooftop tents, and MAXTRAX for their recovery boards.

Lawsuits and controversies
In July 2020, Tesla sued Rivian for allegedly stealing proprietary information, as well as for poaching employees.

In March 2021, the Illinois Automobile Dealers Association filed a lawsuit against Rivian and fellow EV manufacturer Lucid Motors for their plans to sell electric vehicles directly to consumers.

In November 2021, Rivian's former sales and marketing vice president Laura Schwab filed a suit against the company, claiming she was fired a month after raising concerns of discrimination and Rivian being a "boys' club" to the company's HR department. Schwab also claimed that she warned company executives of their vehicles being underpriced and the manufacturing process not conforming to security standards. According to the lawsuit, issues she raised were ignored until male colleagues also raised them subsequently.

It was a gift from the mister.
and told me to pick something out.
Heather, this picture and ALL your pictures have been amazing. Would you ever consider adding Google Followers to your blog? I hate that it doesn't pop up on my followers reader!


Many people have considered getting a little nip and tuck to enhance their appearance, make themselves feel more comfortable in their bodies, or to appear younger. While plastic surgery has become more commonplace than it was ten or twenty years ago, if the news is any indication, there are still plenty of challenges when it comes to quality.
Florida news has been filled with stories of dangerous clinics and botched breast surgeries. Unfortunately, these victims aren't alone. And they aren't complaining about Botox's inability to make them look younger. Victims of bad plastic surgery have died, suffered nerve damage, and been disfigured. Negligent plastic surgeons should be held accountable—and they can be—under medical malpractice law.
Can I Sue My Plastic Surgeon?
Winning a plastic surgery medical malpractice case can be difficult. Because the procedures are often seen as elective as opposed to necessary, juries tend to give the benefit of the doubt to the doctors. However, a skilled Tampa medical malpractice lawyer adept at dealing with surgical mistakes can help you determine whether your case can be remedied in civil court.
If you've suffered from disfigurement, nerve damage, or other complications that were not listed in your contract as within the range of possibilities, such as severe infections and complications from anesthesia, then filing a claim in civil court may help you recover some of the medical costs of repairing or treating your issues.
If you've lost a loved one because of a bad plastic surgery procedure, you may file a wrongful death suit against the operating plastic surgeon or the clinic where the procedure was performed. Speaking with a Tampa medical malpractice lawyer will start the wheels of justice by launching an investigation into the wrongful death of your loved one and will let you know the best steps to take to move forward.
Who Can Be Held Responsible for Bad Plastic Surgery?
Clickbait links and tabloids love to relate "stories" about celebrities' botched plastic surgeries— "You Won't Believe What She Looks Like Now!" and "What Happened to So and So's Face?" Often, these stories are just exaggerations and the celebrities look fine, though possibly slightly changed (if they did indeed have plastic surgery). These articles ignore the true victims of bad plastic surgery—because let's be honest—the rich and powerful have the money for the best, board-certified plastic surgeons.
Those of moderate or normal means are more at risk to fall prey to predatory "doctors" who may not even hold the appropriate credentials. They may be oversold on unnecessary procedures, operated on in dangerous conditions, and left with aftercare.
When a doctor has harmed a patient because they failed to use the appropriate equipment or procedures, they should be held responsible—whether they're a heart surgeon or a plastic surgeon. Likewise, medical centers that allow negligent doctors to operate should also be held responsible. Doctors are expected to live up to a standard of care. Negligent plastic surgeons who perform lazy or dangerous procedures that harm, disfigure, or kill their patients have failed to live up to that standard.
While plastic surgery is often elective, no one chooses to be victimized by a medical professional. Individuals who are passing themselves off as qualified plastic surgeons should be held responsible for their mistakes, especially when their negligence leads to the disfigurement or personal injury of the patient they should've been serving.
The best way to learn more about your legal options is to speak with a Tampa medical malpractice lawyer. A skilled Tampa medical malpractice lawyer can assess your case and help you determine how to best move forward. Don't delay—Florida does have a statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. Schedule a consultation today and let justice work for you.


I wrote this post on January 29, 2013.
Some of my favorite foods, like pork and beets, became surprisingly intolerable at times. But then, on other days, I would eat an entire burger. Go figure. On the worst days, eating bland food has helped. In my case, that was matzoh (my Jewish version of crackers). Keeping pieces of matzoh in a ziploc bag on my nightstand to eat first thing in the morning before I get out of bed no longer seems like a ludicrous idea.
That's not a baby belly yet, that's mostly bloat and constipation (another fun side effect of pregnancy). Plus, this photo was taken right after I ate. My clothes still mostly fit me, but they are beginning to look awkward over my bloated belly. I didn't expect that to happen until much later in the pregnancy. Just goes to show that I don't know anything about this whole baby making business.

Today please welcome Laura, who blogs at 125Pages.
I had a reading class in college where our reading speed was clocked as part of a project. I averaged 125 pages read an hour, so I thought that was a unique name for my site.
I read a wide array of books, so I don't feel tied down to any genre. I also read a lot, 5-7 books a week on average, so there is always a new review to check out. I host a bi-weekly feature called Author Tuesday that features author interviews and book giveaways. I also host The United States of Books, a weekly feature with 8 other bloggers where we read a book from each state.
I am open to most genres. I am partial to paranormal, YA, women's fiction, thrillers, memoirs and Urban Fantasy. I like to experience new worlds and get to do that through books, so I try not to limit what I read. I am partial to anything with vampires, angels, or shifters as I find them to be such fun reads.
I feel pressured to accept books for review. I average 50 review requests from authors and PR companies a month, and that doesn't include the books I select from Netgalley, Edelweiss and other publisher sites. I feel bad that I cannot read every book offered to me, but some are just not a fit for me. I have been learning to deal with it by enforcing strict review request rules. If a request is not submitted correctly, I immediately flag it as a no.
Such a hard question! I would have to go with a series - Harry Potter. The themes of love, friendship, renewal and redemption are something that readers 8-80 can relate to.
Hell to the no. Books are not to be marred, they are to be loved and treasured.
Curled up on my couch with a kitty on my lap.
I say no. Amazon has opened up a world of books that I personally may have never found before. Decent prices and fast shipping enable me to add to my book collection easily. I can understand why some people don't love Amazon, but to me easy access to affordable books (and other stuff) is important.
To be more open to books I initially considered as not my type. I will read a review and it may touch on just what I love in a book. I have found some great books that I would never have read before.
Cover judger here. I will walk through the library and pick up books based solely on its cover, then will read the back cover.
I cannot seem to make myself DNF. I keep hoping the book will redeem itself so I keep reading.
Thank you for joining us today, Laura! Remember to check out Laura's blog, 125Pages, and leave a comment or question.
Want to get more book blogging news, events, and giveaways? Sign up for our newsletter!
I can't DNF either. Though sometimes I wish I could.
I don't DNF that much, but more than I used to. I don't think I'm going to read The Ramblers, although I picked it up because of rave reviews from several bloggers, I think! Sometimes you're just not in the mood for a particular book. I don't like to mark up books, either, but love those little arrow post-it note thingies!

                Console.ReadLine();
            }

as soon as I run the code it's shows the error "The element <city> may only appear once in this section". Since there are two <city> section.

A: If I run into problems with configuration sections I usually start with no data in my section within the xml file. Then I populate the data via code and save it. Then you can easily figure out what you have done wrong within the xml.
Put this in your Custom section in order to be able to save a code populated section:
public void Save()
{
    Configuration config =
            ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(spath);
    CountryConfig section = (CountryConfig)config.Sections["Country"];
    section.States = this.States; //Copy the changed data
    config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full);
}

So then you can work from your C# code to work out how the configuration should be structured (helps to spot inconsistencies between the two)

Quick Potato Rolls - ready in 15 minutes!! No rising! Mix, press, cut and bake. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner!! Instant mashed potato flakes, sugar, butter, water and Bisquick. Serve the biscuits with butter, honey, syrup or jam! These rolls fly off the plate!! Everyone LOVES this easy bread recipe!
These Quick Potato Rolls are a weeknight favorite. They only take a couple of minutes to make and are on the table in 15 minutes! No rising. Just mix the dough, press into a rectangle, cut and bake. They are great for dinner or even breakfast!
The secret to these quick and delicious rolls is Bisquick and instant mashed potato flakes. I always have both in the pantry. They make the rolls so light and fluffy! We love to eat them right out of the oven with a big dollop of butter. We also have been known to eat the rolls with some honey, syrup and jam.
I just love how quick and easy these rolls are to make. I make them at least once a week. I definitely prefer fresh homemade bread over any other type of bread. Give these a try when you want some homemade bread but don't have all day!
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine all ingredients. Mix on low until a soft dough forms. Mix for 1 minute.
Roll dough out into a 10x6-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 squares.
Place rolls onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Could these be made ahead and frozen as individual rolls, and baked later?
You can definitely bake them, freeze them and reheat the rolls. I haven't frozen the dough and baked later. Let us know how it turns out if you try it.

At home I currently have a wired network, running with a D-Link DSL-2542B ADSL Wired Modem Router. I'm considering getting a Blackberry Playbook in the near future, but I'm aware that in terms of internet connectivity, it requires WiFi. My current router has no wireless support of any kind. I have read that users of wired networks can hook up a wireless access point of some sort in order to be able to start using WiFi.
After a bit of searching, I came across this - the TP Link TL-WR702N Wireless Nano Router. I am under the impression that if I were to buy this and hook it up to my existing wired network, I would be able to start using the Playbook's WiFi features, such as web browsing.
I was wondering if there was anyone out there with a similar network setup to this who could either confirm my assumptions or offer a better/cheaper alternative (if there is one).
Hi, Not sure about the TLWR720 (EDIT: Sorry, TL-WR702N), it looks like it would do the job, but I don't know what sort of range it has. It would be fine if you want to use your PB in the same room as your WIRED router, but if you wanted to use it at the opposite end of the house, or in the garden, not sure how well that would work. For a device with a bit more range (though a bit more expensive - 40 quid), I can recommend the TP-Link TL-WA901ND wireless access point. It is just an access point, leaves all the 'router' stuff to the kit you already have. It was easy to set up. It would work straight out of the box, but does really require a little setting up to set WiFi security and sensible passwords etc.
My only complaint was that the manual is a bit brief, and assumes some network knowledge (which I have, so no problem for me). Hovever, their technical support is very good, and replied to a query I had within 24 hours with a good solution.

Good to hear I at least have the right idea with what I'll need to get set up. I can't seem to find any info on the range of the WR702N, so I'll probably look into the one you suggested instead. Yeah it's a bit more expensive, but there's no use in saving money if the cheaper product you get doesn't work in the way you want it to. Thanks for the reply.
If anyone else has any suggestions for good access points or has had experience with the WR702N, do feel free to post about it.
Also, wifi routers are relatively cheap so that could be a consideration???
I'd rather not have to faff about setting up an entirely new network. Would much prefer to just be able to add a peripheral in to the existing set up.
I have a TP-Link WA701ND just plugged it in and it works perfectly. Range is enough for three adjacent rooms.
Looks like that is the 'baby brother' of the TL-WA901ND I mentioned. It's quite a bit cheaper, so I guess that'd probably be a good option. The 901ND is capable of higher speeds (300Mbps vs 150) but I doubt your broadband is as fast as either, so unless you plan on regularly moving massive files to/from your PB from another local device then I can't see that is a big issue.
Would you be able to give an estimate on how long the range is in metres/feet?
I'm currently sitting 3 walls and about 50 feet from the WA701ND and getting a satisfactory connection. The PB WiFi "meter" thing is only showing 1 bar but it's working fine.
No faffing or network reconfiguration is necessary.
Nearly any WiFi router can be configured as an Access Point. You just configure it and add it to your existing network.
For example you can get a Belkin N150 router for �20.00 from Staples and configure it as an Access Point. This will also give you 4 additional wired ports, well 3 really because you'll lose one of your existing ports to the Access Point connection itself.

Q: codeigniter controller input Hebrew letters I have a function in the controller that gets a string and then queries the database (via the model) for records that have this string as their name. This works fine with English but I have a problem when the input is in Hebrew. When I echo the string I see something like %D7%91 and the query fails.
All database tables entries are defined as utf8_general_ci.
My controller code:
function get_records_by_name($name)
{
            echo 'searching for: '.$name.'
';
    $keys = new DMkeys() ;

    $query = $keys->get_keys();

    $arr = array();

    $count = 0;

    foreach ($query->result() as $row)
    {
        if(stristr($row->name, $name) != FALSE)
        {
            $arr[] = $row->name;
            $count++;
            echo $row->name.'
';
        }
    }

    $result = array('count' => $count, 'list' => $arr);

    echo json_encode($result) ;
}

My model code:
function get_keys()
{
    $query = $this->db->get('keys');
    return $query;
}

Thanks,

A: You need to decode the variable before using it, try:
$name = urldecode($name);

Discussion: What Genres Do You Play?
When it comes to your gaming, what genres do you play? Do you have a preference? Is there a genre you haven't had a chance to play in but really want to? Is there one you're getting tired of playing in?
For me, a lot of it depends on if I am a GM or a PC. That said, I can't think of a genre I would shy away from. Not that it doesn't exist, but I can't think of one.
As a player, I tend to play in:
Fantasy (High and Low)
Urban Fantasy/Horror
As a GM though, I tend to run...
That said, I've run - and played - in the occasional cyberpunk, western, and other games. I'm rather loving the Dark Fantasy/Horror Shadows of Esteren game I'm in right now, and I can't wait to get my hands on 7th Sea for some Swashbuckling Adventure!
What about you? What genres do you find yourself in? What genres would you like to make your way over to?
Coureton February 12, 2016 at 8:49 AM
As a player I tend to play in:
* High Fantasy
* Space Opera
As a GM I tend to run:
* Low Fantasy
* Military
* Near Future
* Horror
The five main games for the last couple of years that have been at the top of my list that I run, would like to run and/or have been playing are Dark Heresy, Star Wars, L5R, Numenera & CoC.
So put me down for:
-Science Fiction
-Horror
-Space Opera
-Alternative Fantasy (I'm putting both L5R & Numenera in this category.)
In the last couple of months I started playing in my first D&D campaign ever (5e) & am getting a kick out of finally sinking my teeth into the RPG granddaddy of all time. So I guess put me down for at least a temporary Low Fantasy, though I don't expect it to start a trend.
Funny A.L. that you mentioned Shadows of Esteren, since it's currently being offered as a Bundle of Holding. I was eyeing that and would love if, given the currently opportunity for discounted purchase & the good time you're having with it, that you'd do a post on it.

Spot on the Dock owner pays $111,000 in back wages, penalties to resolve labor violations
by: Haley Bouley
A Burlington restaurant owner implicated in a U.S. Department of Labor investigation has paid more than $100,000 in back wages and damages to 91 current or former employees to resolve overtime violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The owner of The Spot and Spot on the Dock paid $55,546 in back wages and the same amount in liquidated damages to current and former employees as well as $2,360 in penalties for child labor violations, the DOl said in a statement.
The DOL said investigators found The Spot LLC, which operates the two restaurants, violated FLSA overtime requirements by paying employees "straight-time rates" when they worked more than 40 hours in a workweek. By law, employers must pay non-exempt employees one-and-one-half times their regular rates for hours they work beyond 40 in a workweek.
Investigators also found that The Spot LLC allowed three 15-year-old employees to work outside of the hours allowed for that age group, with some working past 11:00 p.m., which is later than the 9:00 p.m. limit in effect from June 1 through Labor Day, and "far beyond" the 7:00 p.m. imposed from Labor Day through May 31. Minors also worked too many hours on school days and non-school days and exceeded limits imposed for school weeks. The employer also failed to maintain required records of minor employee's birth dates, the DOL said.

197 F. 2d 411 - Sylvan Seal Milk v. Commodity Credit Corp
197 F2d 411 Sylvan Seal Milk v. Commodity Credit Corp
SYLVAN SEAL MILK, Inc.
COMMODITY CREDIT CORP.
Argued November 28, 1951.
Decided June 5, 1952.
Francis E. Hickey, Rockford, Ill., of the Bar of the Supreme Court of Illinois, pro hac vice, by special leave of Court, with whom William S. Abell, Washington, D. C., was on the brief, for appellant.
Hubert H. Margolies, Attorney, Department of Justice, Washington, D. C., with whom George Morris Fay, United States Attorney at the time the brief was filed, and Edward H. Hickey, Attorney, Department of Justice, Washington, D. C., were on the brief, for appellee. Charles M. Irelan, United States Attorney at the time of argument, and Joseph M. Howard, Assistant United States Attorney, Washington, D. C., also entered appearances on behalf of appellee.
Before KIMBROUGH STONE, Circuit Judge, retired (sitting by designation), and WILBUR K. MILLER and BAZELON, Circuit Judges.
Order No. 61 was promulgated as part of a price support program under the Agricultural Adjustment Act.1 It required appellant, a dairy handler, to pay producers a specified minimum price for Class I milk distributed for fluid consumption in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, milk marketing area.2 The boundaries of that area were precisely described in the order by metes and bounds, all within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In April 1943, the minimum price to be paid producers under the Order was increased from $3.70 per hundredweight to $4.05 per hundredweight. Its effect was to squeeze the handlers between this increase and the OPA retail ceiling price for milk in the same area, which remained fixed at fourteen cents a quart. It was to eliminate this squeeze and thereby assure a flow of milk into the Philadelphia area that the appellee, Commodity Credit Corporation, offered to pay a monthly subsidy of the 35 cent differential to handlers of milk "distributed for fluid consumption * * * in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, milk marketing area." The offer provided the term "Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, milk marketing area" should have the same meaning as was given by Order No. 61.
On its face, appellee's offer did not include milk distributed in nearby New Jersey. The purpose of limiting the area for the offer lay in the fact that the OPA retail price in New Jersey was fixed at fifteen cents a quart rather than at fourteen cents, as in the Philadephia area. Thus since sales in New Jersey produced from 44 to 46 cents3 more per hundredweight than sales in the Philadelphia area, no reason existed for including the New Jersey handlers within the subsidy offer.
This suit arose from a dispute concerning the payment of subsidies for milk distributed by appellant in New Jersey on overlapping routes, i. e., on routes which also included stops in the Philadelphia area. Appellant rests its claim for these subsidies upon the contentions that (1) the "course of conduct and conversation" of one W. P. Sadler, acting as agent of appellee and also as Milk Marketing Administrator under Order No. 61 "modified the terms of [appellee's] offer so as to include milk distributed on overlapping routes";4 and (2) appellee's payment of these subsidies from the date of its original monthly offer in April 1943 until September 1943 created a binding agreement to continue payment under subsequent offer.
In detailed findings of fact, conclusions of law5 and oral opinion,6 the District Court rejected these contentions and entered judgment dismissing appellant's suit. Since we think the findings amply supported by the evidence, we agree with the District Court that appellant is not entitled to the subsidy payments in question.
1. 48 Stat. 31 (1933), as amended, 7 U.S.C. A. §§ 601, 608c (Supp.1951).

What is a brief description of how the earth was formed?
1) Clumps of matter (e.g.: gas, rocks and some heavy metals) floating around in space decide to start combining after some chance encounter.
2) A centre is gradually formed within a giant clump of matter. This centre starts "catching" more and more interstellar gas. This centre is called a protostar.
3) The protostar gets larger and larger, hotter and hotter until it reaches the point when the gas starts burning. Our Sun is officially formed.
4) How about the rocks and heavy metals mentioned at the beginning? They have been orbiting around the Sun for quite a while, so some of them collided and began to form little clumps of matter, also known as protoplanets.
5) After lots of collisions with each other and other intergalactic stuff flying in and out of the newly formed Solar System, one of the protoplanets (which will be Earth) somehow manages to cool down enough for life to begin and the first unicellular organisms begin, evolution blah blah and that's how our Earth was formed.

News & Tips | Nexus
Oklahoma Enacts Affiliate Nexus and Reporting Requirements Changes
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed legislation enacting the Oklahoma Retail Protection Act of 2016, which includes affiliate nexus and reporting requirements provisions. This new Act modifies legislation originally passed in 2010 which included affiliate nexus and reporting rules.
The changes contained in the new legislation take effect on November 1, 2016. The legislation amends the definition of "maintaining a place of business in this state" to include utilizing or maintaining in Oklahoma (directly or by subsidiary) an office, distribution house, sales house, warehouse, or other physical place of business, whether owned or operated by the vendor or any other person (other than a common carrier), or having agents operating in Oklahoma, whether the place of business or agent is within the state temporarily or permanently or whether the person or agent is authorized to do business in the state; and the presence of any person (other than a common carrier) who has substantial nexus in Oklahoma and who:
sells a similar line of products as the vendor under the same or a similar business name;
uses trademarks, service marks, or trade names in Oklahoma that are the same or substantially similar to those used by the vendor;
delivers, installs, assembles, or performs maintenance services for the vendor;
facilitates the vendor's delivery of property to customers in the state by permitting the vendor's customers to pick up property sold by the vendor at an office, distribution facility, warehouse, storage place, or similar place of business maintained by the person in Oklahoma; or
conducts any other activities in Oklahoma that are significantly associated with the vendor's ability to establish and maintain a market in the state for the vendor's sale.
The nexus presumption is rebuttable by showing that the person's activities in Oklahoma are not significantly associated with the vendor's ability to establish and maintain a market in the state for the vendor's sales. Finally, any ruling, agreement, or contract between a person and the executive branch of Oklahoma, or any other state agency or department, that states, agrees, or rules that the person is not "maintaining a place of business in this state" or is not required to collect sales and use tax in Oklahoma despite the presence of a warehouse, distribution center, or fulfillment center in the state that is owned or operated by the vendor or an affiliated person of the vendor, is null and void unless specifically approved by a majority vote of each house of the Oklahoma Legislature.
The legislation also removes the following affiliate nexus criteria which existed in the 2010 legislation from the use tax code:
the retailer holds a substantial ownership interest in, or is owned in whole or in substantial part by, a retailer maintaining a place of business within the state and the retailer sells the same or a substantially similar line of products as the related Oklahoma retailer and does so under the same or a substantially similar business name, or the Oklahoma facilities or Oklahoma employees of the related Oklahoma retailer are used to advertise, promote or facilitate sales by the retailer to consumers;
the retailer holds a substantial ownership interest in, or is owned in whole or in substantial part by, a business that maintains a distribution house, sales house, warehouse or similar place of business in Oklahoma that delivers property sold by the retailer to consumers; or
a retailer is part of a "controlled group of corporations" having a "component member" that is a retailer engaged in business in Oklahoma.
The use tax code is also amended to no longer provide that a "retailer" includes making sales of tangible personal property to purchasers in Oklahoma by mail, telephone, the Internet, or other media who has contracted with an entity to provide and perform installation or maintenance services for the retailer's purchasers in Oklahoma. The use tax code is also amended to no longer state that the processing of orders electronically does not relieve a retailer of the duty to collect tax from the purchaser if the retailer is doing business in Oklahoma.
To incent remote sellers to register to collect Oklahoma use tax, the legislation expands the state's out-of-state retailer use tax registration, collection, and remittance compliance initiatives to also apply to sales tax. Under the amended initiative, the state will not seek payment of uncollected use taxes from an out-of-state retailer who registers to collect and remit applicable sales and use taxes on sales made to purchasers in Oklahoma prior to registration under the initiative, provided that the retailer was not registered in Oklahoma in the 12-month period preceding November 1, 2016. Other changes concerning the compliance initiatives include the removal of provisions:
prohibiting an out-of-state retailer's registration to collect use tax under the initiative as a factor in determining nexus for other Oklahoma taxes,
allowing out-of-state retailers registering under the initiative a vendor discount for timely reporting and remittance of use tax, and
prohibiting the charging of a registration fee against an out-of-state retailer who voluntarily registers to collect and remit use tax under the initiative.
The legislation precludes assessments for uncollected sales and use taxes (including penalties and interest) for sales made during the period a retailer was not registered in Oklahoma, so long as registration occurs before May 1, 2017. This provision could be beneficial for companies with questionable or actual nexus in Oklahoma as this appears to be a full forgiveness amnesty for prior periods.
The Oklahoma Tax Commission will implement an outreach program under which online retailers and out-of-state retailers will be contacted for a review of their business activities to determine if their activities require the registration and collection of Oklahoma use taxes.
Changes to the 2010 reporting and notice requirements are also included in the new legislation. Out-of-state retailers who are not required to collect Oklahoma use tax and who make sales of tangible personal property to Oklahoma customers for use in the state, must, by February 1st of each year, provide each of these customers a statement of the total sales made to them during the preceding calendar year. The statement must contain language substantially similar to: "You may owe Oklahoma use tax on purchases you made from us during the previous tax year. The amount of tax you owe is based on the total sales price of [insert total sales price] that must be reported and paid when you file your Oklahoma income tax return unless you have already paid the tax."The statement cannot contain any other information that would indicate, imply, or identify the class, type, description, or name of the products sold. The 2010 legislation had a sales threshold which no longer applies. (H.B. 2531, Laws 2016)

Q: Plotting a stacked bar chart with matplotlib using dates as index where there are gaps and missing data I have a data frame containing several columns for which I have continuous (annual) data since 1971 up to 2012. After that I have some say "predicted" values for 2020, 2025, 2030 and 2035. The index to the data frame is in integer format (each date), and I've tried converting it to a date time format using the appropriate module, but this still doesn't correctly space out the dates on the x-axis (to show the actual time-gaps) Here's the code I've been experimenting with:
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
# Set title
ttl = "India's fuel mix (1971-2012)"

# Set color transparency (0: transparent; 1: solid)
a = 0.7

# Convert the index integer dates into actual date objects
new_fmt.index = [datetime.datetime(year=date, month=1, day=1) for date in new_fmt.index]

new_fmt.ix[:,['Coal', 'Oil', 'Gas', 'Biofuels', 'Nuclear',    'Hydro','Wind']].plot(ax=ax,kind='bar', stacked=True, title = ttl)
ax.grid(False)
xlab = 'Date (Fiscal Year)'
ylab = 'Electricity Generation (GWh)'
ax.set_title(ax.get_title(), fontsize=20, alpha=a)
ax.set_xlabel(xlab, fontsize=16, alpha=a)
ax.set_ylabel(ylab, fontsize=16, alpha=a)

# Tell matplotlib to interpret the x-axis values as dates
ax.xaxis_date()

# Make space for and rotate the x-axis tick labels
fig.autofmt_xdate()

A: I tried to figure it out:
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import datetime

# create data frame with random data (3 rows, 2 columns)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(3,2))
# time index with missing years
t = [datetime.date(year=1971, month=12, day=31), datetime.date(year=1972, month=12, day=31), datetime.date(year=1980, month=12, day=31)]
df.index = t

# time index with all the years:
tnew = pd.date_range(datetime.date(year=1971, month=1, day=1),datetime.date(year=1981, month=1, day=1),freq="A")

# reindex data frame (missing years will be filled with NaN
df2 = df.reindex(tnew)

# replace NaN with 0
df2_zeros = df2.fillna(0)

# or interpolate
df2_interp = df2.interpolate()

# and plot
df2_interp.columns = ["coal","wind"]
df2_interp.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True)
plt.show()

Hope this helps.

Ana Gog at Whelan's – Review and Photos
Ana Gog played Whelan's last Thursday, June 6th.
More than three months. That's how much we had to wait to see Ana Gog live again. On a chilly evening at the beginning of March, Ana Gog released their debut album, "Making Trails" with a gig at the Unitarian Church. We loved the album even before the release gig and we loved the band even more after their amazing performance. There's really not much we can add about Ana Gog at this point, aside from the fact that we've recently featured them as our Irish Band of the Week.
From the imposing Unitarian Church to the cozy Whelan's, the sound of their live set seemed a bit different. The unique acoustic of the church or, perhaps, the solemn seated audience, hid a rock-y side of their music that was revealed in Whelan's last Thursday. Their music seemed bolder, a bit more powerful. Better.
The set debuted with track one from "Making Trails", "Wolf, Fox and Hound", a soft warm-up for the rest of the night. The second song was "Hotels", the tune with the bow-played guitar that has a brand new video filmed at their gig in The Unitarian Church. "Mr. Magpie", the most promoted track of their album was the first song recognized by the majority of the fans in the audience. "A Study Of Her Painted Face" was another very well received track, partly due to its distinctive and brilliant guitar play.
The encore had the band back on stage for two more songs. The last one, "Between The Rocks, track 10 of their album, was spectacular to watch, just as it was to listen. The energy of the song built up for the first two minutes until it was released into an explosion of drums, piano and bass – a grand finale worthy of the great concert the lads offered.
Ana Gog confirmed last Thursday that they're a band worth following. Let's just hope we won't have to wait three more months until their next gig.

It was 30 years ago that NASA tested the first Space Shuttle pioneering a new era of space flight. That era is entering into a new endeavor as the Space Shuttle program is put to rest. What a lot of people are wondering, aside from where the Shuttle vehicles will be placed on display, is what will transport our American astronauts into space and beyond after the shuttle program has ended?
Ever heard of Elon Musk? Some of you may know him to be the CEO of Tesla, an innovative electric car company that builds the Tesla Roadster electric powered sports car or maybe the co-founder of PayPal. Musk also has his hands in a private space startup company called SpaceX. SpaceX will be at the forefront of transporting astronauts into space slated to have its first launch from Cape Canaveral in late 2013 or early 2014.
SpaceX has a variety of rockets that can be outfitted with transport vehicles and cargo. Of those rockets, they have ones that rival the famous Saturn V rocket that propelled brave men from the Earth to the Moon. To put things into perspective, below you will find charts of SpaceX's rockets, the Space Shuttle and Constellation project Ares rockers in comparison to the largest and most powerful device man has ever built, the Saturn V rocket.
This should give us some type of indication of what is to come in the space program provided they have the proper funding. Another good aspect about SpaceX is that have claimed to save an estimated $1 billion a year with a program using SpaceX rockets vs. the previously axed Constellation project rockets and designs.
The Falcon 9, created by SpaceX, became the first commercial vehicle to launch a spacecraft into orbit and have it return to Earth safely. We will look to future developments in space exploration and the bitter sweet retirement of the Space Shuttle as we know it.
There are a few vehicle ideas on the drawing board but as of now nothing has been put in concrete. The old Gemini and Apollo program has resurrected a pod design idea that looks to be very promising for sitting atop a SpaceX rocket for transporting astronauts into space in the near future.
To understand the magnitude, innovation, technology and bravery of the space program and the people at NASA, check out the video below of a Saturn V launch in slow motion captured on a high-speed camera at 500 frames per second and the famous space shuttle launch video below that.
