Electric dreams: the science of Formula E
This year saw the start of a whole new motor racing championship. It's slower and quieter than F1 but, as Rob Banino discovers, it could be far more important.

July began like most months at the Donington racetrack, with high-performance cars being put through their paces on the Leicestershire circuit. But there was one difference: instead of echoing to the familiar cacophony of high powered combustion engines, the air around the circuit was quiet and calm.
The peace was only interrupted when one of the sleek, new racers being tested came rushing by, whooshing like some kind of futuristic fighter jet. The cars were making a new and unusual noise: a noise that caught your attention but sounded nothing like the typical roar of a racing car. And that's because the cars were not typical racing cars. They were Formula E racers.

Formula E is a new racing championship for single-seater cars that are powered solely by electricity. It's a novel twist, but with so many existing classes of motor racing – from Formula 1 and Touring Cars to GT Endurance and NASCAR – do we really need another?
Alejandro Agag, the CEO of Formula E Holdings, would argue yes. The Spanish businessman says there are two reasons why we need Formula E. "The first is to make electric cars more popular – to show them racing and use the sport to get people interested in them. The second is to use the races as a platform for research and development to improve electric powertrains, batteries and charging systems."
And we need to develop this technology because the pollution caused by combustion engines in congested cites, and dwindling oil reserves, mean there's a need for cleaner, more energy-efficient and sustainable transport options. Agag believes electric vehicles are one way to meet that need.
But electric cars are not without problems; problems that may put some people off – the biggest one being their range. And it's a problem that will need to be solved quickly because, right now, a Formula E car's battery doesn't have enough energy to get it through a race.
For the first year of the Formula E championship, all the cars are running stock equipment, so they all have the same battery built by Williams, the company behind the Formula 1 team. It's a lithium-ion unit based on the one Williams made for the Jaguar C-X75 hybrid supercar.
It's similar to the battery you'd find in a laptop or mobile phone, but has a lot more cells and a slightly different chemistry. "Within lithium-ion batteries there are different chemistries and each of them is better suited to different applications, so you have to select the right one," explains Okan Tur, chief technical specialist for hybrid systems at Williams.
"There are better chemistries for power, better chemistries for energy and there are better chemistries for applications that lie in between those two. We've selected one of those but, to keep our competitive edge, we're not declaring which chemistry we're using at the moment," says Tur.

But while the Jaguar C-X75 can use its petrol engine to reduce the drain on the battery and increase the car's range, the Formula E cars don't have that luxury. So, for the first season, to make it to the chequered flag, the drivers will have to come into the pits during the race and jump into a second, fully charged car.
Pit strategy will therefore shape the racing, but the winner will be the driver that can best manage the battery life during each car's stint on the track. And the cars have been designed to extend the life of the batteries as long as possible. "We don't have enough energy in the batteries for a long race with the Formula E car," says Christophe Chapelain, Technology Manager for Renault Motorsport, who oversaw the construction of the cars. "So we must optimise the use of the energy and to do that we had to decrease the car's [aerodynamic] drag as much as possible. This is why the car is the shape it is. We have structures in front of the wheels to reduce drag and have done everything we can to make the car more efficient."
Tyred and tested
And that includes taking a whole new approach to the tyres. "This is the first time that a single-seater championship will use 18-inch [45.7cm] tyres," says Serge Grisin, Technical Director for endurance racing tyres at Michelin, the tyre supplier for the Formula E Championship.
"The wider diameter and smaller sidewall reduces the tyre's rolling resistance. We chose 18-inch tyres because it's very close to the size you find on a lot of road cars. That means the link and the technology transfer between Formula E and road cars is obvious. Other championships [such as F1] use 13-inch [35.5cm] tyres with big sidewalls, which isn't relevant to road cars," says Grisin.
The tyres also can't be changed. Unlike in F1, where each car has 13 sets of tyres to choose from per race, each Formula E car is only allowed one set for each round of the championship. So the rubber a Formula E car rides on has to last through practice, qualifying and the race, meaning the tyres have to be durable and efficient, but they also have to be able to perform in both wet and dry conditions. It's a combination that caused a lot of head scratching at Michelin when it came to choosing the rubber compound, tyre construction and tread pattern.

The result is the Pilot Sport EV, a tyre that draws on the experience Michelin has gained in endurance racing. But it also shares some traits with the Energy EV, a road tyre developed specifically for the Renault Zoe that increased the small electric car's range by six per cent.
The aerodynamics, the tyres and everything else about the car have been designed to prolong the life of the battery, but sooner or later it still needs to be recharged. For now that means plugging the cars into a recharger, but that's set to change.
"Wireless recharging technology is being developed by Qualcomm, one of Formula E's partners," says Agag. "[Rather than having to be plugged in], the car parks on a pad that recharges it by induction. The beauty of a wireless system is that it gives us two charging options: static and dynamic. For static wireless charging the cars have to park on a charging pad… but with dynamic charging the cars could recharge as they're racing."
Dynamic wireless charging technology already exists and is used to recharge robots as they move around factory floors performing tasks. "The [same] technology could work in cities," suggests Agag. "You could place the static charging pads in car parks, but even if you put them at traffic lights, your car would get a small amount of charge when you stopped at a red light. And if you were to incorporate the dynamic charging technology into the roads you could keep your car going forever."
The technology Formula E is being used to develop will take a few years to reach the streets, but the cars will be there from the start, because the championship will be contested on city centre circuits. And, as Peter van Mannen of McLaren, the makers of the Formula E motor, explains, part of the reason for that is the way electric motors perform. "The thing about an electric motor is that it provides torque instantly – as soon as you turn it on you create torque and as soon as you turn it off you create braking," he says. "So electric motors are most interesting, and potentially the most fun, on courses that involve a lot of stopping and starting, which is a characteristic of city circuits."
So the cars being fine-tuned around the Donington racetrack in July are ultimately bound for street circuits in cities such as Beijing, Buenos Aires, Long Beach and London. The first race, which took place in China on 13 September, saw the cars racing past the Bird's Nest stadium used for the 2008 Olympics. Next, the championship will travel around the world to showcase and improve on the current state of electric car technology.
The teams and drivers will look to make improvements to win races, but the aim of the championship is for those improvements to lead to energy-efficient road cars. At its heart, Formula E is a laboratory for developing advanced vehicles and cleaner, more sustainable methods of keeping them going. If it manages to do that, it could be one of the most important laboratories in the world.

Q: Django - .delete() method is called, but instance remains in DB got a little problem here using the Django-framework and its
.delete() method.
Im using the following model
class Message(models.Model):
  ...
  sender = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="%(class)s_sender")
  user = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name="%(class)s_recip")
  trash = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name="%(class)s_trash", blank=True)
  ...

So my aim is to check if both M2M fields "user" and "trash" do not contain objects/keys anymore, and if so, the corresponding Message instance should be deleted from the database.
To archieve this I'm using m2m_changed signals as follows
def set_recip_names(sender, instance, action,**kwargs):
    print instance
    if action == "post_remove":
        if instance.user.all().count() == 0 and instance.trash.all().count() == 0:
            print instance.id
            instance.delete()

def msg_del(sender, **kwargs):
    print "Message deleted"

m2m_changed.connect(set_recip_names, sender=Message.user.through)
m2m_changed.connect(set_recip_names, sender=Message.trash.through)
post_delete.connect(msg_del, sender=Message)

The first two print statements are for debug purpous of course, and both print exactly what Im expecting: instance IS the corresponding instance to be deleted, and instance.id confirms this, as well as telling me that Django actually will execute the .delete() method.
The second post_delete signal is for debugging purpous too, and it is called as expected, so Im getting the output "Message deleted".
So the big problem is, that the "to-be-deleted" instance remains in the database. Ive searched the internet for an hour now but I dont see anything is wrong with my code.
Any suggestions are welcomed, or if you know any better way to do what Im trying to do, please let me know.
Solved
Problem was actually pretty obvious. One of my code snippets, where on user interaction elements from my M2M fields are removed looks like
...
    try:
        message = Message.objects.get(id=msg)

        if usr not in message.trash.all():
            continue
        if usr != message.sender:
            message.user.remove(usr) # m2m_changed triggered

        message.trash.remove(usr) # m2m_changed triggered

        # if instance was removed by now, this .save() will
        # insert the python-local object in the db, so it looked
        # like the same instance is still there, but I saw that
        # the "old" instance suddenly had a new id

        message.save()

    except Message.DoesNotExist:
        continue
...

A: You can delete the record directly by doing this:
YourModel.objects.get(id=instance.id).delete()

If the record exists, then it will be deleted in the database.
Your instance is saved in the RAM and may not be deleted, you can do that manually by deleting it from the RAM: del instance

SA's nuclear plans ready to be issued
Pending approval by Eskom, Nersa boards this week.
By Antoinette Slabbert 28 Nov 2016 00:01
Officials of Eskom and the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) have finalised the request for proposals (RFP) for the country's proposed nuclear build programme. If the boards of the two companies give the green light this week, it is ready to be issued, according to Necsa CEO Phumzile Tshelane.
Tshelane told Moneyweb during an interview at the company's Pelindaba headquarters that a joint Eskom and Necsa team worked tirelessly over the last few weeks to set out the detailed requirements vendor countries would have to respond to. He says the RFP consists of "reams of paper".
Government has mandated Eskom and Necsa to manage the procurement, with Necsa being responsible for the research reactor, the provision of nuclear fuel including the enrichment of uranium, and localisation. Eskom would deal with the bulk of the project, including the reactors and other components, goods and services for the nuclear power plants.
Eskom indicated last week that it would proceed with the RFP despite the base case in the draft integrated resource plan (IRP), released last week, indicating that the country might only need nuclear power plants by 2037 – about 15 years later than indicated in the current IRP.
Eskom's position is that under certain scenarios, including limitations on renewable energy and carbon emissions, the nuclear power generation would have to be online by 2025, which means procurement has to start right away. The IRP would only be finalised during the course of next year.
Tshelane says Eskom and Necsa have been mandated to proceed with the procurement and apart from board approval, no further permission is needed to issue the RFP.
Nuclear fuel
Necsa does currently manufacture fuel for its Safari nuclear reactor but it is smaller than is needed for the proposed power nuclear plants, says Tshelane. Necsa handles enriched uranium; in fact, Safari needs 20% enrichment, while the nuclear power plants would only need 5%.
In the past, Necsa did manufacture fuel for Eskom's Koeberg nuclear power plant, but Tshelane says it doesn't really make sense to do it in South Africa for Koeberg only. A new nuclear fleet would, however, provide the necessary economies of scale, Tshelane says. "We are starting with the assumption that 9 600MW (as proposed in the current IRP) as well as Koeberg have to be supplied."
He says Necsa would still determine through a procurement process where it will get the necessary uranium for fuel manufacturing. It is desirable to have one or more dedicated uranium mines and there are resources in the Karoo as well as the Free State, he says.
Necsa is currently researching the availability of uranium above and below the ground and hopes to know by March how much would have to be imported from neighbouring Namibia or elsewhere. It is also studying the world market with regard to price and availability.
Coega
Fuel manufacturing would be done at Pelindaba outside Pretoria with a possibility of developing a second plant at Coega in the Eastern Cape for export purposes.
Tshelane says the production of nuclear fuel is a hi-tech operation and to a large extent automated. Nevertheless it should create between 1 000 and 2 000 jobs.
He says South Africa does not have the technology it used to have to enrich uranium and for that reason the uranium would have to be enriched outside the country initially.
Necsa does currently manufacture certain nuclear components, including reactor chambers. It is high precision work and the products are exported to among others Spain, South Korea and Russia.
It is this capability Necsa would seek to expand to manufacture high precision equipment for the domestic and export market, Tshelane says. This would also include the development of private companies through Necsa's enterprise development program in order to develop a value chain. This localisation would be an important component of the overall nuclear procurement program.
Tshelane says vendors would have to submit their responses to the RFP within about three months, after which a team including representatives from Eskom, Necsa, the department of energy, national treasury and the department of trade and industry would evaluate it. This should take about a month to six weeks and the evaluation committee would be free to co-opt any other expertise from within government as needed.
He says the bidders would need to provide a detailed technical solution indicating the price and process they will follow, including the proposed schedule. They would also need to address skills development and localisation, including who they would partner with locally.
Tshelane says the IRP base case is like a skeleton without any flesh. It's like deciding you want to buy a car, but without having determined any detail about the kind of car you need. The public is now invited to give input in adding flesh to the bones.
He says he is "not aware" of any meeting of the ministerial advisory committee to discuss the IRP where someone with nuclear knowledge was present. This, he says, is problematic. Different voices should have commented before the draft was released.
He says there is a lot of vested interests among the renewable lobby and these are promoted to the detriment of the country. "Renewables are necessary, but not suitable for all the requirements of South Africa."
Necsa will comment on the draft IRP and insist that its comments be considered in detail, to ensure a balanced plan for South Africa, he says.
"It would be ludicrous if the energy mix excluded nuclear, because nuclear is one of two base load options we can support with South African resources." The other being coal.
He says the country could face international boycotts unless it reduces its dependence on coal and renewable cannot provide the reliability needed to support industry.
Base load should represent nothing less than 45% of the energy mix and that should be spit 50/50 between coal and nuclear, he says.
He is convinced that the county can afford nuclear if it is introduced gradually and points out that it would be an income generating asset. The running cost of a nuclear power plant is low, which explains why Koeberg currently generates the cheapest electricity in the Eskom fleet.
Tshelane does not see gas as an alternative to nuclear, unless domestic sources are discovered through fracking. Otherwise it would have to be imported with prices that can vary on the sport market. "Gas is base load, but it is still carbon emitting. It is not clean," he says.

Can't help to question this mad rush where all trends indicate we do not need nuclear energy (or at least at no rush), we cannot afford this and the rest of the world is going in the opposite direction. In top of this we have the State Capture report that indicates that the ANC government has made highly questionable deals benefiting individuals. The real questions is who will really be benefiting from these nuclear deals? Clearly not South African citizens nor the economy.

Consider any StudioPress sites review and you would recognize that the designer is one of the most reputable gamers in the market. Owned by Rainmaker Digital, LLC., StudioPress has grown from strength to strength and has handled to belt out some winners in every category of themes. Inning accordance with most estimates, practically two hundred thousand WordPress websites are currently running on among the eighty StudioPress themes. The designer is likewise steadfast with its stock. It is continuously updating the existing themes and presenting new themes that would satiate the ever changing demands of the dynamic world of WordPress.
A StudioPress websites review is not possible without thinking about the functions and advantages of the Genesis Framework and the Genesis Framework child themes. The structure is the supreme structure for WordPress sites. This is agreed upon by the majority of developers and there is a degree of excellent consensus, if not unanimity. The Genesis Framework is simple to start with. The style, appearance and features are pretty basic, that is till you start tweaking them or personalizing the different aspects to establish an unique website. There are numerous Genesis Framework child themes that will help you to construct a completely special site. The sort of variations available and what you can do with the framework are unrivaled. In addition to the Genesis Framework kid themes developed by StudioPress, you would likewise discover kid themes established by others that would still utilize the very same structure.
StudioPress themes have actually always had quick loading time. The developer takes a careful method to security. The StudioPress themes are amongst the most protected, including the free StudioPress themes. Given that you can utilize the kid themes rather of 3rd party plug-ins, you are more strengthening your security. Third party plug-ins are amongst the most vulnerable functions on WordPress sites. Many malware, adware, spyware and other security threats target the 3rd party plug-ins and in the process impact the performance of the website. There have been numerous reports of sites getting banned or security being downgraded and thus the ranking crashed due to the fact that of contaminated plug-ins. This whole premise is done away with and all scopes of security dangers are plugged if you use the main free or superior kid themes. You wouldn't be affecting the website while using these child themes either. All your information, customization and every function will remain just as it is. Everything will work typically as you utilize kid themes to upgrade or upgrade, to repair a bug or for a security patch to name a few changes.
Genesis Framework has actually emerged as the flagship product of StudioPress. Its kid themes have ended up being the 2nd crucial collection. Other StudioPress themes might have experienced a dip in appeal however they are quite relevant and certainly extremely utilitarian. Some of the best StudioPress themes are Digital Pro, Workstation Pro, Beautiful Pro, Altitude Pro, Café Pro and AgentPress Pro.
StudioPress themes come with public assistance forums, active neighborhood members assisting each other out, online tutorials, a database of commonly asked questions, code snippets, novice's overview of every theme including Genesis Framework, a valuable collection of resources, list of specialist Genesis developers and technical support from the internal group of StudioPress.

�Love Actually� was a wonderful romantic comedy that came out a few years ago and intertwined several stories to good effect. Robert Benton�s �Feast of Love� is the opposite. Instead of comedy, we get tragedy. And instead of a celebration of love, we get a maudlin movie that makes you wonder if such relationships are worth it.
Our anchor is Harry (Morgan Freeman), who is in a long-term and loving relationship with his wife, Esther (Jane Alexander), but is, as we learn, among the walking wounded. A personal tragedy has led to him putting his teaching career on hiatus, and now he just goes around giving sage advice to others before withdrawing into his cocoon.
One such advisee is Bradley (Greg Kinnear), who runs the local coffee shop. Over the course of the film he will be betrayed by one wife (Selma Blair), who runs off with another woman; a sister who tries to keep the pet she was only supposed to be watching; and another wife, (Radha Mitchell), who can�t break off an affair she�d been having with a married man. �Unlucky in love� doesn�t begin to cover it.
Another advisee is Oscar (Toby Hemingway), who works in Bradley�s coffee shop. He falls hard for new employee Chloe (Alexa Davalos) even though he has to put up with his crazy and abusive father (Fred Ward). It�s not clear what the point is, or whether something was lost in the transition of Charles Baxter�s novel to the big screen. In spite of a ridiculously contrived happy ending that feels like a cheat, the real message of the movie seems to be that love is painful and doomed to failure, and you�d be better off getting a dog and living alone.

Q: Passing value in route.isFirst method in Flutter I am creating an aquarium tank management app using Flutter. I'd like to show a SnackBar when one of the tank is deleted after confirmed in AlertDialog, but it doesn't work.
In this app, you can see the list of tanks in 1st page. When you tap one of tanks, you go to 2nd page. In 2nd page there is an IconButton you can edit or delete the tank. When you tap "delete", an alert dialog pops up and ask for your confirmation. When you tap "OK", then the item is actually deleted.
I used "route.isFirst" method when going back to 1st page after tapping "OK".
However, it appears the method does't pass bool value. I think this is why SnackBar doesn't show in my 1st page. Is there any work-around to pass value when using isFirst method?
1st page:
final List<Widget> widgets = tanks.map((tank) => Card(
child: InkWell(
  onTap: () async {
    final bool? deleted = await Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => TankDetailPage(tank: tank)));
    if (deleted != null && deleted) {
      final snackBar = SnackBar(backgroundColor: Colors.green, content: Text('Deleted Tank'));
      ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(snackBar);
    }
    model.fetchTankList();
  },

2nd page:
CupertinoDialogAction(
        onPressed: () async {
          try {
            model.startLoading();
            await model.deleteData();
            Navigator.of(context).popUntil((route) => route.isFirst);
          } catch (e) {
            if (kDebugMode) {
              print(e);
            }
            final snackBar = SnackBar(content: Text(e.toString()));
            ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(snackBar);
          } finally {
            model.endLoading();
          }
        },
        child: const Text('OK')

Italy, in the south of Europe, is known for its rich culture, lovely climate and beautiful nature. Italy has a large number of big lakes that attract many tourists in summer. There are also many romantic cities with traces of the country's ancient culture. You can enjoy the Italian kitchen and the people will welcome you in a friendly and hospitable way.
In the past, present-day Italy has been the home of various people. In the south of the country, cities were founded by the Greeks and the north was ruled by the Etruscans. In the centre was the province of Latium, with Rome as its most important city. This is where the Romans lived. Rome became more powerful and in the third and fourth centuries BC managed to defeat the Greeks and Etruscans.
The Romans continued to expand their territory. Between 60 and 50 BC, the well-known Roman dictator Julius Caesar conquered all of Gaul (present-day France) and parts of what is now called Italy. Two hundred years later, almost all of Europe was in the hands of the Romans, and their culture spread to many countries. The Romans did not succeed in defeating the Germanic tribes.
After the death of the last 'Great Emperor', Marcus Aurelius, things went downhill with the immense empire. At the end of the fourth century AD, the empire fell apart. The Roman Empire was too big to be governed centrally and to be defended well. It was divided into two parts: a western part with Rome as its capital and an eastern part with the capital of Constantinople. The western empire was occupied by the Germanic tribes. The empire fell apart into separate entities.
The fourteenth century brought a turnaround. Florence, Milan, Pisa, Genoa and Venice flourished in the Middle Ages and became rich merchant cities. Italy became a cultural centre of Europe. The country excelled in art, literature, politics and research. Names like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dante, Machiavelli and Galileo come from this era. The Italian explorers Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus remain famous to this day.
At the end of the 18th century, France under Napoleon managed to conquer Italy. Napoleon lost his power when the English and Russians defeated the French. In 1870, the unification of Italy was declared. During the First World War, the country initially remained neutral, but later joined the Allied forces. After the war, Italy faced a social, political and economic crisis. In 1922, the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini seized power and declared himself ruler of the land. His goal was to establish a new Roman Empire.
During the Second World War, Mussolini was an ally of Hitler and fought against Great Britain and France. Germany and Italy lost and Mussolini was murdered. The monarchy was abolished and Italy became a republic. Thanks to the financial support of the United States, the country managed to recover. Italy became a member of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the European Union. To this day, the country is characterized by instable governments.
Italy is a very densely populated country. In all, it has over 58 million inhabitants. Rome has 2.7 million inhabitants, and Milan over one million. There are two million people in Italy that are of foreign origin. Many of them are from Albania, Morocco, Romania, China and Ukraine.
Most Italians (87%) are Roman-Catholic. Until 1984, Roman-Catholicism was the state religion. Also, there are about 500,000 Protestants and about 35,000 Jews. Due to immigration from Africa, the Muslim population has increased.
The official language of Italy is Italian. About 75% of all Italian words are of Latin origin. During the unification of Italy (end of the 19th century) Italian was spoken by only 3% of the population. It was a written language. Italy was made up of various language regions. To become one country, it needed one language: Italian. Italian really became a national language when television made its appearance. Nevertheless, nowadays there are still population groups with a different mother tongue. Examples are German, French, Slovenian, Catalan, Albanian and Sardic.
Everywhere in Europe, traces of the old Roman era can be found. The Italian culture has contributed to European civilization. Italian art, literature, architecture, film and music became known all over the world. Italians often feel a closer connection to their own place of birth or region than with the country itself. Italians are friendly and hospitable. They find family and friends very important. They like good food and sports. In the south you will encounter the real Italian temperament: wild gestures, a different speech volume and a fanatical and passionate posture.
Political situation
The Italian constitution originates from 1948. The country has two parliamentary chambers: a House of Representatives (630 members) and a Senate (315 members). The president is elected every seven years by the members of parliament and three representatives from the regional councils. Italy is divided into 20 regions, that each have their own governments. The president appoints the prime minister, who in turn appoints the ministers.
Italian politics is not very stable. Since the Second World War, the country has had 60 different governments, both leftwing and rightwing. Every five years, the population has to vote for representatives of parliament and the regional councils. Often, elections have to be held prematurely. Also, Italian politics is characterized by corruption.
In 1994, Silvio Berlusconi, the centre-right media tycoon was the prime minister of Italy. In the same year, he was forced to resign, and he was succeeded by various leftwing governments. In May 1999, the current president, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, was elected. A new (leftwing) government was formed, this time headed by a former communist. This government lasted until 2000, when it was briefly replaced by the centre-left Giuliano Amato. On May 13, 2001, Berlusconi once again became prime minister of Italy.
The current president of Italy is the leftwing politician Giorgio Napolitano. He was elected in May, 2006.
Until the Second World War, Italy was an agrarian country. People lived mainly from agriculture. Later, industry came off the ground and the economy flourished. There is still a major difference between the north and the south of the country. Industry is more developed in the north than it is in the south. The southern part of the country is still largely agrarian in nature and industry only manages to survive thanks to government support.
In the 1980's, the country's national debt grew, as did unemployment. However, the Italian economy managed to recover from the resulting depression a few years later. Many people found jobs in the service sector and in industry. In industrial terms, there was a shift away from food and textile towards technology, steel and chemical products.
In Italy, the majority of companies is small and medium-sized. Mostly, they are family businesses that have specialized in certain markets. These companies are predominantly located in the north of the country. Large industries are machinery, motorized vehicles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical products, fashion and clothing. Many of these products are exported to other European countries. In addition, Italy also exports wine and food products.
The country itself does not possess many raw materials, which have to be imported. As a result, Italy has had a trade deficit for years: the country imports more than it exports. Furthermore, inflation and unemployment remain economic problems. Many companies and industries are in the hands of the state. Privatization must make the business community more efficient and reduce government debt.
The total area of the country is 301,323 square kilometers. Italy is largely a peninsula. Its shape has given it the name 'the Boot of Italy'. The largest islands are Sicily and Sardinia. Italy is surrounded by the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, the Ionian Sea, the Tyrrene Sea and the Ligurgian Sea. The backbone of Italy is formed by the Apennine Mountains. In the north, this mountain range merges with the Alps. The mountains there form a natural boundary with Austria and Switzerland. Italy also borders on France and Slovenia.
In the north of the country there are a number of large lakes, like Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Lake Isea and Lake Garda. Well-known volcanoes can be found in the south of Italy. The Vesuvius is located near Naples, the Etna is active on Sicily and the Stromboli is located on the island with the same name. Italy's longest river is the Po. The river originates in the Alps near the French border and flows into the sea at Venice. The Po has a number of branches that reach the sea via the Alps, the Apennines and the Dolomites. Other important rivers are the Tiger, Adige and Arno.
In Italy, there are two independent states. They are the Vatican and San Marino. The Roman-Catholic church is led from Vatican City. The pope is its head of state.
In climatological terms Italy consists of three areas. The mountainous north has an alpine climate with cold winters and warm summers. The south of Italy is dry and hot. The remaining area has a Mediterranean climate: pleasant summers and fairly soft winters. Most precipitation falls in the autumn and spring.
Traffic and Infrastructure
Italy has an extensive and well-maintained road network. On motorways there are toll booths. The main motorway in located in the west of the country: the 'autostrada del sole'. Seat belts are mandatory (both in the front and in the back of the vehicle). It is forbidden to use a mobile phone while driving. Speed limits are indicated in kilometers.
The cities of Italy are connected by excellent bus companies. In addition, in many cities there are local buses. If you travel by regional bus, you can buy a ticket on the bus. City buses require prepaid tickets. They can be bought at tobacconists. SITA S.p.a. is a large bus company that operates nationally as well as regionally in Italy.
The country also has a reasonable railway network. The network is not perfect, but the train is often an efficient way to travel. Besides, the rates are low. Most of the railway network is in the hands of Trenitalia S.p.a. In all, the tracks measure about 16,000 kilometers. In the cities, you can also travel by tram or subway.
Italy has national and international ferry connections. International ferries go to Croatia and Greece, among other places. A national example is the ferry to Sicily. The main port of the country is Genoa.
The large distances within Italy can be covered well by airplane. In addition, many foreigners enter the country by plane. The most important (international) airports of Italy are located near Rome and Milan: Rome Fiumicino International Airport, Milan Malpensa International Airport and Milan Linate International Airport. Other airports are, for example, Trieste International Airport and Palermo International Airport. The state airline company is Alitalia.
Italy is on Central European Time (GMT +1). Daylight saving time is in effect in summer.
Italian dishes are often not very complex, but thanks to the fresh products and delicious combinations the Italian kitchen managed to become world famous. Everybody knows what pasta or pizza is. Italians take their time to enjoy lunch or dinner. They usually start their meal with 'antipasta', an entrée. When they eat pasta or risotto, they often take a salad. Furthermore, cheese is used in dishes: mozzarella, ricotta and gorgonzola. The dishes are prepared with onions, garlic and tomatoes. As a desert, we highly recommend excellent Italian ice cream. Many people also drink a cappuccino (before 11 am) or espresso. The most popular drink in Italy is the wine called Chianti.
Italians eat late, which means that sometimes restaurants open as late as 8 pm. The quality of the restaurants is reasonable, and often the dishes are affordable. If you take your drink standing up at a counter, it is often cheaper than sitting down at a table or outdoors.
Holiday cottages are for rent almost anywhere in Italy. In tourist locations, it is also possible to rent an apartment. Also, there are many campsites throughout the country, most of them near big lakes. You can bring your own caravan or tent, but there are also plenty of possibilities to rent one. Finally, you can decide to stay in a hotel. Particularly in major cities and well-known places there are enough hotels, but also in smaller areas there is every chance of finding a decent hotel.

Oh, I love this painting! The green colours of absinthe…. this languorous mermaid seems to embody the indulgent spirit of absinthe. Here eyes flash green, her luxuriant blonde hair streams over the roots and rocks (with sinister skull-like visages). You will see she holds a traditional absinthe spoon in one hand, and a green bottle floads away from her grasp on the absinthe-green waves. My own original acrylic painting.

Dr Chris Leakey
Project Coordinator, School of Biology and MASTS
Chris has worked across marine and coastal science, policy, regulation and conservation, and now blends these with social sciences, communication and public engagement activities in pursuit of behavioural change outcomes for people, ocean and planet… hence his coordinator role for the MASTS initiative: People Ocean Planet (POP). This is all about new and sometimes unusual collaborative partnerships, to break new ground in driving positive change.
Some strands of POP's work are applied research, but they also seek to extend the impact of academic knowledge with new and improved public engagement and the flow of information and influence to society at large. Tackling climate change is at the top of the priorities, recognising that a 'just transition' necessitates broader awareness and acceptance of the need for systemic change, with such a shift in attitudes filtering through to personal actions on energy consumption and waste.
Chris also still works part-time for NatureScot on marine policy and marine planning, advising and influencing government policy and the management of marine sectors and ecosystems. Previous roles there include the provision of advice to government and offshore developers on the potential impacts of, and mitigation options for, offshore and marine renewable energy projects.

A rotary electric motor comprises a rotor having a plurality of permanent magnet elements disposed in an annular ring configuration about an axis of rotation, the magnet elements successively alternating in magnetic polarity along an inner annular surface, and a stator spaced form the rotor by a radial air gap. The stator includes a plurality of magnetic core segments having respective coils wound thereon to form stator windings, the core segments separated from direct contact with each other and disposed along the radial air gap. Each stator segment comprises a pair of poles aligned with each other in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation. Thus the stator comprises a first set of stator poles in radial alignment and an axially displaced second set of stator poles in radial alignment.

Tasker is a glorious application if you have the patience to learn how to use the app. What it does is allow users to create custom made commands and then use them in various places. There are many apps out there that have Tasker support and you can even use Tasker to create very complex commands for NFC tags. It's difficult to truly explain what this app can do because it can do so many things. Between the apps supported, plugins you an add, and the sheer volume of stuff that you can do, there aren't many apps out there as useful as this one. IFTTT is another excellent automation app. In some cases, it may even be better than Tasker thanks to its simplicity and wide range of uses.
Google Drive is a cloud storage solution available on Android where all new users get 15GB for free permanently upon signing up. You can, of course, buy more if needed.

Everyone needs to file their taxes every year. Most people will probably have an easier time using dedicated tax software (and some might still enjoy preparing them by hand), but more ambitions filers or those with simple tax returns can get away with using a mobile app. Intuit's TurboTax Tax Return App is the best one we reviewed this year. Among its top features are an excellent user interface, support for all major tax forms, and innovative help options. If you get stuck at any point, you can just open up the Virtual Assistant, which keeps a running dialogue of the help topics you searched for, or use SmartLook to connect to a tax expert via video chat.
Bouncer was our pick for the best new Android app from 2018. It's a security app with a unique premise. The app lets you grant temporary permissions to applications. So, for instance, you can let Facebook access your location long enough to check into a place, and Bouncer disables the permission once you leave Facebook. This is a great way to use all of the features of a social media app without digging into your settings to disable those permissions or giving those apps permanent access to your information. The app runs for $0.99 and should work on most (if not all) apps. It's rumored that this could be an Android Q feature. If that's true, then even Google really likes this app. New Droid Apps
Songkick is the bridge between the music in your digital collection and concerts in your area.

There are a lot of apps out there that pay lip service to security and privacy, but Signal was built from the ground up with the goal of letting people easily communicate without having to worry about being overheard. The Signal app is a complete phone and SMS client replacement (though it works just fine as a standalone app, too) for sending and receiving encrypted calls and messages. A recent update has greatly improved the app's look and feel, proving that security and usability don't have to be at odds. Droid App
Airbnb should be your go-to app for finding rooms, apartments, homes, and other unique accommodations when traveling, if you don't want to go with a traditional hotel. The length of your stay need not be short-term either; some locations let you book a stay for several months, which may appeal to people working temporary jobs in new places. This travel app also highlights other experiences and restaurants, so you can find out about everything a locale offers. New Droid Apps

If an event isn't being organized on Facebook, it's probably being done through Eventbrite. This service makes it easy to manage invites, RSVPs, and even ticket purchasing. Attendees get handy reminders about the events they planned to attend, organizers can see guest lists. We particularly like that Eventbrite can generate QR codes, making event check-in a breeze.

You can also store your ebooks on the cloud for easy access from wherever you are. What's so surprising is how well it works, and how easy it is to use.

Your bag of holding for internet content, Pocket saves articles, images, and videos for later reading. We especially like how it reformats articles for more comfortable reading on a mobile device, and how it syncs content to your tablet, phone, and online account. With the close integration between Pocket and the Android sharing tools, you can pocket just about anything from your phone.
Amazon is the internet's marketplace; the one place where you can buy just about anything—and it's cheap too! On Android, two of our favorite features are the integrated Alexa voice commands and the photo search, which makes it easy to surreptitiously compare Amazon's prices to those of the brick and mortar stores it is killing. Amazon Video-related functionality has been moved over to its own dedicated app, but all of its other consumer services, including Fresh and Restaurants, make an appearance. Prime members rejoice; there's never been a better way to stay connected with your Amazon lifestyle.
Google Drive is a cloud storage solution available on Android where all new users get 15GB for free permanently upon signing up. You can, of course, buy more if needed. What makes Google Drive so special are the suite of Android apps that are attached to it. They include Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Photos, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Keep. Between the office apps, the Photos app (which allows unlimited photo and video backup), and Keep Notes for note taking, you have apps for practically anything you need to do in terms of productivity. Some of the features of these apps include live collaboration, deep sharing features, and compatibility with Microsoft Office documents. Microsoft Office has a similar setup with OneDrive and Office.

This smart, cross-platform service makes sure that your passwords, payment information, and other vital information is stored securely but never out of reach. New Droid Apps

Clipboard Manager essentially allows you to see all the text that you've copied recently, meaning that even if you copy over something with new text, you'll still be able to go back and access the original text. The app is available for free, but there is a paid "Pro" version that does away with adds. Droid Apps
Marking one of Apple's first forays into Android development, Apple Music brings the company's impressive musical catalog to Android. The app is built around Apple's subscription-based streaming service, which dishes up all-you-can-listen music for $9.99 per month, or just $4.99 for eligible students. It suffers a bit on Android for being divorced from the Apple ecosystem, however. Droid Apps
We don't typically recommend streaming services to people. Everyone has their preferences and saying that one is better than another is a matter of opinion at this point. Except for this collection of Android apps. There's more content there than a human person can watch or listen to in several lifetimes. That includes music videos, educational videos, news videos, reviews, video game let's plays, music (of course), and a whole lot more. YouTube Music should replace Google Play Music eventually. This collection is the best music and video streaming package on mobile as long as they remain tied together. Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal are also great music streaming services, especially if you want better sounding music. New Droid Apps

Developers may find Mobogenie to be a great option for selling their apps. There's an app review process with a snappy 24 hour turnaround, and the revenue split is an attractive 80/20. Mobogenie was originally developed in India and has a large user base there, but also supports multiple languages and could provide inroads into some markets where the Play Store isn't so popular.

It can't handle Tamarian, but it's sure to be a handy tool here on Earth. It even works on your watch and while using other Android apps!
If you like to keep your life organized with various to-do lists, then you definitely need to download Todoist. This app lets you keep track of the tasks you need to get done; you can assign them different priorities based on their overall importance or organize them across different projects.

Anyone can get started for free, but seriously organized individuals should upgrade to the $28.99 per year premium plan to set up task labels and reminders, upload files, and view productivity charts.
All you need is to hold your Android device close to the source of the song, and after a few seconds, the app will accurately detect the song.

108.42 KB OPINION Renewal of emergency measure by the Greek HCMC under Section 1 of Chapter V of Regulation No 236/2012 on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps I.	Legal basis 1.	According to Article 27(2) of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2012 on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps (the Regulation), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) shall within 24 hours of the notification having been made by a competent authority under Article 26 of the Regulation issue an opinion on whether it considers the measure or proposed measure necessary to address the exceptional circumstances. 2.	ESMA's competence to deliver an opinion is based on Article 29(1) (a) of Regulation (EC) No 1095/2010 (ESMA Regulation). In accordance with Article 44(1) of the ESMA Regulation the Board of Supervisors has adopted this opinion. II.	Background 3.	In accordance with Article 26 of the Regulation, the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) originally notified ESMA and competent authorities on the 29th of June 2015 of its intention to make use of its powers of intervention in exceptional circumstances and to introduce an emergency measure under Article 20 of the Regulation. 4.	The original emergency measure consisted of a temporary prohibition of transactions in any financial instrument that create, or increase, a net short position on any of the shares admitted to trading on the Athens Exchange and the Multilateral Trading Facility of "EN.A" (Alternative Market of the Athens Exchange) of which the relevant Competent Authority is HCMC. 5.	The original measure concerned the following financial instruments: all shares admitted to trading on the Athens Exchange and the Multilateral Trading Facility of "EN.A", as well as all related instruments included in the calculation of the net short position in accordance with Regulation (EU) N0 236/2012 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 of 5 July 2012 (see in particular Annex I, Part I thereof). It applied to any person irrespective of their country of residence, and did not envisage any exemption for market maker activities. 6.	In the original notification, the HCMC indicated that the measure was a complementary action to the ones already established on the 29th of June 2015 by the Greek Authorities, namely: •	closure of the ATHEX regulated market and the Multilateral Trading Facility of "EN.A" until the 6th of July (included); •	closure of The Electronic Secondary Market "HDAT" for government bonds operated for the same period; •	suspension of redemption of mutual funds' units; •	suspension of operation of ATHEXClear for the securities traded on the Greek market and the MTF "EN.A"; •	suspension of the settlement of securities traded on the Greek market by the Hellenic Central Securities Depository; •	trading suspension of all the securities of listed companies covered by the above measures, as well as the related financial instruments (the trading suspension is effective also in other Member States). 7.	The reason for proposing a temporary prohibition for the creation, or increase, of net short position on the shares admitted to trading on the Athens Exchange and on "EN.A" was that the HCMC deemed it necessary for the protection of the investors and the preservation of financial stability. In fact, such prohibition was considered a relevant component to ensure the effectiveness of the other measures adopted by the Greek authorities. The HCMC also stated that given that the main liquidity and trading activity on those instruments normally is located within Greece, the measure would have not created disproportionate negative effects, since it would have affected a fairly small part of the EU overall market. 8.	Following the issuance by ESMA of a positive opinion pursuant to Article 27 of the Regulation on the 29th of June, the original measure by the HCMC entered into force at 00:00:01 hours (CET) on 30th June 2015, and applied for a period of seven days, ending at 24:00:00 (CET) on 6th July 2015. 9.	On the 6th of July 2015, the measures described in paragraph 6 were renewed by the Greek authorities and the bank holiday in Greece was also extended. On the same day, the HCMC proposed a renewal of the short selling measure, notifying ESMA and competent authorities accordingly. 10.	In the notification for the renewal, the HCMC explains that it believes the circumstances that justified the imposition of the original measure did not improve during the last week and therefore the measure should be renewed. Moreover, all the other measures adopted by the Greek authorities were renewed or extended, and the short selling measure remains a relevant component to ensure the effectiveness of the other ones. 11.	The proposed renewal would concern the same financial instruments of the original measure (see paragraph 5), but the HCMC specified in the new notification that although the ban covers all transactions in the financial instruments listed in Part I of Annex I of Commission Regulation (EU) No 918/2012, transactions in index-related instruments and ETFs are included to the extent that the shares admitted to trading on the Athens Exchange and the Multilateral Trading Facility of "EN.A" of which the relevant Competent Authority is the HCMC represent more than 5% of the total value (or composition) of these instruments. 12.	The renewed measure shall apply for a period of seven days and shall be in force as of 00:00:01 hours (CET) on 7th July 2015 until 24:00:00 (CET) on 13th of July 2015. III.	Opinion 13.	ESMA is adopting the following opinion on the notified measure, on the basis of Article 27(2) of Regulation 236/2012 on Short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps: On the adverse events or developments ESMA considers that adverse developments which constitute a serious threat to market confidence in the Greek market still persist. On the appropriateness and proportionality of the measure ESMA considers that the measure is appropriate and proportionate to address the above mentioned threats that persist in the Hellenic Republic. On the duration of the measure ESMA considers that the duration of the measure is justified and appreciates HCMC's statement in its notification of intent that the measure may be lifted before the end of the established period or renewed in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 if circumstances that justified the imposition of the measure improve, persist or worsen.

Christie Administration Marks Grand Opening of Valley Brook Village Supportive Housing in Bernards Township
Tammori Petty
Sean L. Conner
Supportive Housing Development Provides 62 Affordable Housing Opportunities for Homeless and At Risk Low Income Veterans
LYONS, N.J. - The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Executive Director Anthony L. Marchetta, representatives from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) New Jersey Health Care System, Peabody Properties, Inc., Windover Development, Community Hope, and MetLife recently celebrated the grand opening of Valley Brook Village, an affordable permanent supportive rental housing project in Bernards Township, Somerset County, for homeless and at-risk low income veterans. The HMFA, an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA), provided approximately $1.9 million in construction and permanent financing through the Special Needs Housing Trust Fund (SNHTF), and the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits that generated approximately $8.4 million in private equity from MetLife. Additional funding came from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and its member bank, Lakeland Bank, , and Somerset County HOME Funds.
"Valley Brook Village will provide permanent affordable housing opportunities for New Jersey's homeless and at- risk veterans many of whom suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and other combat related injuries," said DCA Commissioner Richard E. Constable, III, who also serves as Chairman of the HMFA. "Supportive Housing Developments like this that provide a non-institutional residential atmosphere to residents truly help to integrate into communities throughout the state."
Located on the campus of the VA New Jersey Health Care System in Lyons, New Jersey, Valley Brook Village is a new construction of three buildings that provide a total of 62 housing units around a common village green. Among the housing units, 50 have been awarded project based housing vouchers under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program to provide rental assistance to chronically homeless veterans. In addition to permanent housing support, the program provides long-term case management and supportive services for the veterans. The HUD-VASH units are administered for HUD by DCA and VASH case management services are provided by Community Hope. The remaining units provide housing to homeless veterans who meet the income eligibility requirements or have their own tenant-based voucher. The three-story main building contains 50 housing units, offices for management and social services, a community room, a vocational training and computer room and an elevator. The two smaller buildings that look like townhomes contain 12 one-bedroom units.
The 16-acre housing community is conveniently located near shopping, community resources, and facilities, including two grocery stores, two pharmacies, two libraries, and medical services on-site at the VA Medical Center. The NJ Transit Lyons train station, a handicap accessible facility located less than a mile from the site, provides transportation to the entire nation via connections in Newark or New York. On-site, a van is available to transport residents to local shops and services, in addition to 70 parking spaces for residents, staff, and visitors.
Designed to be highly energy efficient and handicapped accessible, Valley Brook Village complies with HMFA's own green building program called the New Jersey Green Futures Program that covers energy efficiency, renewable sources, siting and land use, water conservation, building durability, indoor air quality, operations, and maintenance, and complies with barrier free and accessibility standards. On track to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, the project features unit amenities that include high efficiency central air-conditioning and heat, and Energy Star-rated appliances.
Community Hope, the social service provider of the project, will provide case management services to all residents of Valley Brook Village, as well as programming and outreach coordination and vocational training, Community Hope is one of the largest providers of transitional and supportive housing in New Jersey founded in 1985 by mental health professionals and family members in response to a lack of therapeutic settings for young adults recovering from serious mental health issues.
"This project is an excellent infusion of quality affordable housing in Lyons, a wealthy unincorporated suburb in Bernards Township," said HMFA Executive Director Anthony L. Marchetta. "HMFA is extremely proud to have provided the capital financing necessary to enable the development of Valley Brook Village that houses and assists some of the most vulnerable homeless New Jersey residents who committed their lives to serving our country."
HMFA is the administrator of federal tax credit programs for New Jersey. Low Income Housing Tax Credits are a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal tax liability and act as a catalyst to attract private investment into the affordable housing market. The Agency also administers the Special Needs Housing Trust Fund, established through the Special Needs Housing Trust Fund Act of 2005, which provides capital financing to create affordable, permanent supportive housing and community residences as alternatives to institutional or homelessness for special needs individuals.
The project was jointly developed by Peabody Properties and Windover Development. Peabody Properties, is a multifaceted firm that provides property management services for more than 10,000 units of residential housing with more than 4,000 of these units for elderly and or disabled residents.

If you're getting ready to move houses and are on a budget, you might opt to have a professional moving service help for just a handful of hours. Many moving services can be booked for a small block of time, such as four hours. If you go this route, it's in your best interest to keep the crew busy from the time it arrives to the time it departs. This means that when the crew arrives in the morning, you should have a number of things ready to go — you shouldn't still be running around the house and packing your possessions. Here are some things to have ready by the time the crew arrives.
If you'll be moving your appliances, this is an important task to make sure that your movers can do for you. They have the strength and skill to get the job done with greater ease than you. Make sure that you've prepared each of your appliances for the move. This means unplugging them (and, in the case of your washing machine, disconnecting the hoses) and clearing a path from your door to where the appliances are stored. Make sure there's nothing in any of them, either. For example, you might keep baking sheets in your oven, so make sure to empty them out first.
Much of a move consists of ferrying boxes from the house to the truck, so make sure that your boxes are ready to go when the moving crew arrives. It can be useful to spend some time in advance of your moving day relocating all of the packed boxes to an easily accessible area, such as your garage. This will allow the moving crew to concentrate on loading the boxes while you take care of other duties in the house. Keeping the boxes in the garage means that your home won't be unnecessarily congested with the movers and your family vying for the same space.
Occasionally, you'll have items that you won't want your movers to take. For example, you might have a box of personal items (a purse, wallet, keys, etc.) that you want to keep handy throughout the move. Make sure that you set any of these items aside and tell the movers about them. It will be a waste of everyone's time if these items get inadvertently loaded into the truck — and then have to be found later on.
