Prince Harry arrives on Vancouver Island to begin new life
January 21, 2020, 5:57 a.m.
Prince Harry has arrived on Vancouver Island to begin his new life with Meghan and baby Archie.
The Duke of Sussex was whisked away by a car waiting on the tarmac just days after he and Meghan agreed a deal with the Queen to step back as senior royals.
Sky's US correspondent Greg Milam, said: "It's only a three minute drive to the house where they spent six weeks over Christmas and where the duchess returned 10 days ago to be reunited with their son."
Harry had earlier attended the UK-Africa Investment Summit in Docklands on Monday, where met the prime minister in private for 20 minutes on the sidelines.
No aides were present during the informal "catch-up" chat in a room upstairs at the summit.
Meghan returned to Canada earlier in January after the Sussexes issued a bombshell statement saying they were stepping back as senior royals.
Harry's departure from the UK comes after he told supporters of his Sentable charity that the couple had "no other option" on Sunday.
He told those gathered at a dinner on Sunday night: "It brings me great sadness that it has come to this. The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back is not one I made lightly.
"It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges.
"And I know I haven't always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option.
"What I want to make clear is we're not walking away, and we certainly aren't walking away from you.
"Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the commonwealth, and my military associations, but without public funding. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.
"I've accepted this, knowing that it doesn't change who I am or how committed I am."
Harry added that he hopes "that helps you understand what it had come to, that I would step my family back from all I have ever known, to take a step forward into what I hope can be a more peaceful life".
He continued: "I was born into this life, and it is a great honour to serve my country and the Queen."
The Queen held crisis talks with Prince Harry, Prince William and Prince Charles on after Harry and Meghan statement on 8 January.
A deal was later agreed where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will lose royal funds and no longer use their HRH titles from spring.
They will also repay £2.4m of taxpayers' money spent on renovating their Frogmore Cottage home.
They will still use the property as their base when in the UK, but it is believed they will spend the majority of their time in North America.

It is not yet known who will foot the bill for the couple's security, but justice secretary Robert Buckland told Sky News there must be a clear "line of delineation".
"I think there is an issue about how public money is spent.
"Quite clearly there have already been arrangements made about how that family are going to live and how they are going to be able to get private income but there clearly has to be a line of delineation.
"I think we all want a family like that to be safe, but at the same time I think what really needs to happen is they need to understand how their lifestyle is to adapt and what their needs might be."


HAWK Theatre's next big production is fast approaching, with limited seating at the gala opening night set for April 28.
Mrs. Stancliffe's Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast has been successful for many years. Her older female guests return year after year, perhaps to experience romance with her elderly, silver-tongued neighbour Bud "Bud the Stud" Davis. Mrs. Stancliffe's other neighbor, and would-be suitor, is Henry Mitchell, a retired chemist who has developed a blue pill called "Venusia" to increase the libido of menopausal women.
Add to the guest list three older women: Victoria Ambrose, a romance novelist whose personal life lacks romance; Hillary Hudson, a friend of Henry's who has agreed to test the Venusia; and Charmaine Beauregard, a "Southern Belle" whose libido does not need to be increased! Bud gets his hands on some Venusia pills and the fun begins as he attempts to seduce ALL THREE women! But the women get their revenge, with unexpected (and hilarious!) results. When the mayhem settles down, all the women find their lives moving in new and surprising directions.

Corrado Malaspina (called "il Giovane", "The Young," as opposed to his grandfather Corrado Malaspina "il Vecchio", "The Old"), was an Italian nobleman and landowner.

He was born in the first decades of the 13th century, the illegitimate son of Frederic I Malaspina, and died sometime between September 1294 and 1300. He is best remembered as a character in the poetry of Dante Alighieri and Giovanni Boccaccio.

Biography
Conrad Malaspina was born sometime in the first two decades of the 13th century. Natural son of Frederic I, Marquess of Villafranca in Lunigiana and of Virgoletta, he was raised by his grandfather Conrad the old, the forefather of the Spino Secco branch of the Malaspina, lords of Lunigiana since the 11th century.

Wedding
The first documents attributed to him date back to 1234 and are about his wedding, which took place two years before to a woman named Urica, the biological daughter of Marianus II of Torres, a judge from Sardinia.

Other documents from 1281 to 1305 talk about a certain Orietta as Conrad's wife, who may be tied to the Genoese families of the Zanche or the Spinola, but it is also possible that it is the same woman, with her name translated from the Sardinian dialect.

He didn't have any legitimate heirs, but there was an illegitimate son nicknamed Figliastro (Stepson), and Boccaccio talks about a daughter called Spina. It is plausible, however, that she was just invented for the tale. If she existed, she would have been born around 1264.

Wars and management of the family's wealth
The wedding between Conrad and the daughter of the judge of Torres brought an expansion of the Malaspina family interests also in Sardinia; however, in 1266 the wealth acquired there was divided into three parts between Conrad and his uncles Moroello and Manfredi because Conrad didn't have a legitimate male heir.

In 1278, on the initiative of the uncle Moroello, the Malaspina occupied the town of Chiavari causing a war with Genoa to which Conrad only participated marginally, to the point that he was absent for the peace oath, being in his overseas lands of Sardinia.

The management of the territory in the following years proved fruitful for the bonds with Genoese families that were strengthened by weddings and both political and financial joint ventures.

The collaboration with the Genoese families was linked to the war between Genoa and Pisa. The Malaspina family supported Genoa's faction by funding the expeditions (with maneuvers like the acquisition by Conrad of the localities of Casteldoria and the curatorìa (judgedom) of Anglona from Brancaleone Doria, for 9,300 lire, that were immediately handed back) and militarily by participating on the first line in the expedition that culminated in the battle of Meloria (1284) and the Pisan defeat.

Concerning the heirloom of his grandfather in 1266 the possessions in Lunigiana and on the Apennines were divided amongst the heirs, i.e., Conrad and his two brothers Tommaso and Opizzino and his three uncles Manfredi, Alberto, and Moroello. (Majorat was not yet enforced)

Conrad and his brothers earned the Lunigianese settlements with Villafranca as the most important of them and other assets in Val Trebbia and Val Staffora (in the Oltrepò Pavese), plus the Sardinian belongings.

In 1281 there was yet another division of the Spino Secco possessions, most likely due to conflicts between the Malaspina and the bishop of Luni. Also this time Conrad's contribution seems minimal.

The last information about Conrad is his testament, written in September 1294 in Mulazzo, in which he recognized his brothers Tommaso and Opizzino as universal heirs. Because there is no trace of him afterward, it is believed that he died later the same year.

In literature
Conrad distinguished himself in the Spino Secco branch because of vast interest in traditions and conscience of the history and standing of the family. His figure has become that of the virtuous noble that represents the courteous ideals of chivalry. It has inspired two of the major authors of the fourteenth century: Dante Alighieri and Boccaccio.

Dante's Purgatorio
Dante, in the eighth canto of the Purgatorio, presents his encounter with Conrad in the Valley of Rulers where he stands out because of his values of love and family. He starts with a captatio benevolentiae, wishing that Dante will have the strength to reach the Empyrean, using a "literary and graceful language" that shows the "moral and material decorum" of the character. He then presents himself by stating his name and surname, a rare happening in the Divine Comedy and immediately completes the identification by including his parentage to another well-known member of the family. He is not boasting, but talking with dignity. He concludes by saying that his love for his family is why he has to wait in the Ante-Purgatory

Then starts Dante's homage to the family, whose hospitality is legendary not only in Italy but in Europe. It is a tribute to those who welcomed him when he was in exile, but also an example that is set for others to follow.

Boccaccio's Decameron
Conrad appears in Boccacio's Decameron, in the sixth novella of the second day, the one dedicated to stories of people that after a great misfortune are able to turn the tables with the help of luck and end up in a better situation than at the beginning. In Boccaccio, he embodies the ideal of the generous lord and, just like in Dante his family is characterized by hospitality. In the end after finding out the true story of Giuffredi he helps him reunite with his mother, his father and his brother and lets him marry his daughter.

News of the week: Bangladesh to finish amending labour law by mid-2023, Law minister tells ILO
The process of amending the Bangladesh Labour Law will be completed by mid-2023 and the amended law will be also applied to all industrial zones in the country, Law Minister Anisul Huq has said.
There are some confusions as to which of the two – the Bangladesh Labour Act and the Bangladesh EPZ Labour Act – will apply to the newly established industrial zones. But the amended Bangladesh Labour Act will be applied to Bangladesh industrial zones, the minister declared.
The law minister was speaking at the 346th session of the Governing Body of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Switzerland's Geneva.
Bangladesh continues its efforts to resolve the complaints raised under Article 26 of the ILO Constitution, said Anisul.
After submitting the report to the meeting of the Governing Body of the ILO last March, the Bangladesh government has made significant progress in the implementation of the roadmap in about seven months, he added.
"The government has tried to secure progress in the four clusters of the roadmap to improve the overall labour situation in the country."
The minister also said the government has already amended the Bangladesh Labour Code and enacted the Bangladesh EPZ Labour Code. In this process, the observations of the ILO Committee of experts have been considered.
Assuring ILO, he said the process of revising the Labour Law has been started as the next phase of legal reformation. "So far, 17 stakeholders have received proposals for amendments. The Tripartite Working Group is seriously working on compiling these amendment proposals."
The review committee will further discuss the recommendations or proposals compiled and seek the approval of the National Tripartite Consultative Council, he added.
Regarding trade union registration, the law minister said this process has been fully digitised to ensure greater accountability and transparency.
The Department of Labour with the help of its four industry related institutes and 32 labour welfare centers is providing training to workers and employers on the trade union registration process, he added.
In this regard, regular training is being given to the concerned officers. A pre-application service has been introduced by the Department of Labour to assist, he said.
"Trade union registration process will be simplified further, if necessary."
Referring to the significant measures taken by the Bangladesh government to strengthen labour inspection and enforcement in line with the roadmap, the minister said, "We are committed to continue engagement with domestic and foreign social partners and other stakeholders for bringing qualitative changes in the labour sector."
He also mentioned handing over of the document of ratification of ILO Convention 138 to its Director General the 344th session of the Governing Body.
"In January this year, the Bangladesh government also ratified Protocol 29 of the ILO Convention on Forced Labour, 1930. Clearly, these are a demonstration of our strong commitment to ILO labour standards."
The law minister is leading the Bangladesh delegation in the ILO session that started from 31 October.

Can we clarify questions that mention nutrition...again?
I realize a couple of folks have discussed this. However, that discussion does not resolve the issue for me. Here's why:
A question was recently asked about nixtmalization and nutrition. It was treading on nutritional advice (or "general health and diet"), which is clearly off topic and was closed. I edited the question, and voted to re-open, others agreed with the edit and reopening. So the question returned to active status.
In answering the question, one must specify that the process itself creates a product that the human body can take advantage of; that it makes corn nutritional. Furthermore, that it allows humans to access very specific nutrients.
This, of course is not conjecture. It is not general health advice. It is not about recommending or suggesting a particular diet. It is the science of nixtamalization.
That part was edited out of my answer on the basis that nutrition or nutrients are off topic and cannot be mentioned.
Nowhere on this page does our site specify this. The closest criteria is that "general health and diet issues" are off topic. I have no problem with that, but that is certainly NOT what this answer was about.
This appears to be an overly broad interpretation of the off topic criteria, especially if this site is about answerable questions, accuracy, and, frequently, scientifically based knowledge.
So, can someone point me to the policy that states "the nutritional part" (identifying the nutrients that nixtamalization makes available to the human body) of my answer is off topic...and also that "listing elements which are accessible to the human body is also off topic?" ...I can't seem to locate that anywhere.
60.7k88 silver badges44 bronze badges
As background, generally the way I've seen the logic about edits removing off-topic content is that it's off-topic to ask for answers about nutrition, and thus answers (or portions of answers) about nutrition are not answering the question, and removing it can't turn it into a worse answer. Of course normally off-topic tangents aren't particularly harmful, but with nutrition it's just so incredibly common for it to lead to misinformation and unproductive debates.
With that said, it seems fairly clear that historical questions like this one may indeed have nutritional answers - not necessarily in the sense of "it makes the food more healthy/nutritious!" but "people believe that it makes the food more healthy" or even "it has X effect on the nutrients in the food". That may well be one of the reasons why something is done, and answers won't be complete without mentioning it.
I would tend to then say that this case (and probably others like it) is one where we shouldn't necessarily just remove everything that mentions nutrition, especially if it's presented in a more factual manner, rather than overbroad/unverifiable "it makes it healthier" claims.
Given this, I think I'd generally be fine with things like your original answer, especially if refined/clarified to avoid the sort of overbroad claims rumtscho is concerned with. I don't think we can reasonably make/discuss those big claims, but it doesn't seem to be particularly in dispute that nixtamalization helps prevent deficiency-related diseases, or that that's one of the historical reasons for the practice.
CascabelModCascabel
hi Cascabel, thank you for sharing this view. What would your position be on a historical question such as "How did Dr. Hay's diet prevent diabetes"? Is it also acceptable under your interpretation? If not, how we draw the line between acceptable and inacceptable quesitons?
– rumtscho Mod
I think the primary intent of the question carries a lot of weight, as does the scope of health/nutrition information required for an answer, and the scale of controversy. Historical questions like this aren't primarily about nutrition, they don't require in-depth information that gets down into the really bad minefields, and there's really no controversy about the existence of literal deficiency diseases. (Your example fails on all three of those counts.) It's also totally feasible for us to apply case by case judgement here; we don't need perfect rules that make everything trivial.
– Cascabel Mod
The on-topic list is very short by necessity. You will find more pertinent information on the [tag-info of nutrient composition][1], specifically listing under not permitted questions:
Whether a given food is healthy or not, or healthy in comparison to another food
The best way to understand it though is not by looking up the rules, but understanding the logic behind the line we draw. And it is:
Never write answers which require you to interpret the word "healthy" or "nutritious" in some way, especially by implying that eating a specific food (or a specific nutrient) is better than not eating it.
Let's look at the question which sparked it all: nixtamalization. Your answer relies on the statements (I will pick a single compound to make it easier):
Niacin in corn [is] not digestible by humans (directly stated in your answer)
Niacin is desirable in a healthy/nutritious diet
The bioavailability of niacin matters, and is higher for nixtamalized corn than for untreated corn
Nixtamalized corn is more nutritious than non-nixtamalized corn.
Here, you directly state 1), and to me is pretty clear that you are concluding 4). This means that you are also implying that 2) and 3) are true - if you thought that they are false, it would be illogical to conclude 4). So, your answer also implies 2) and 3).
And here is where the problem lies, especially in 2). It is maybe a bit difficult to wrap your head around it, because it is quite uncontroversial when it is said about niacin. But imagine a scenario in which somebody creates a new diet fad about barricidine, finds out that corn is full of barricidine and nixtamalization destroys it, and writes an answer saying that non-nixtamalized corn is much more nutritious because it is a great barricidine source, which is much rarer than a good niacin source. What happens in this example? First, we have given the arena to a quack, and second, we are on a good way to a flame war.
And what is the difference between "X is nutritious because it contains niacin" and "X is nutritious because it contains barricidine", if our quack also publishes a couple of studies? Only that the science behind one of them is older and more widespread. Now it would be great if every scientific statement in the field of nutrition was easy to label either as "confirmed by facts" or as "utter nonsense". But the problem is that for almost every statement in nutrition, that's impossible.
The sad state of affairs is that every statement such as "eating X is healthy" (X here can be a food, or a compound) is opinion-based. Even when you are convinced that there is solid science behind it, when you dig a bit, you find that it is not as clear-cut as you'd wish. So nutrition-related statements, be they directly stated or implied, are not allowed, for pretty much the same reasons which cover all other opinion-based questions.
You may wish that we could draw the line somehow such that correct statements are still allowed while incorrect ones are disallowed - but that would require moderation based on the presumed truth content of answers, and this is against the principles of Stack Exchange (and these are very good principles, I must add! - imagine if I was required to delete each of your answers which I find wrong).
This also explains the one exception we make with the tag nutrient-composition whose existence is meant as a concession to the provable part of the discipline, but actually tends to confuse people. Imagine question A, "is nixtamalized corn more nutritious as nonnixtamalized", and question B, "is there more niacin in nixtamalized corn than in nonnixtamalized". Question A is off topic because it requires the answerer to pick a nutritional theory ("it is desirable to eat niacin") and then answer. Question B is on topic because the OP has already done the subjective work of picking their own nutritional theory and asks for the result of a relatively unambiguous measurement.
By the way, we also don't allow questions and answers about bioavailability (such as statement 3 from the list above). In principle, it can be measured for certain compounds under certain circumstances - but I have never seen answerers on the site who understand the complexity of the subject (myself included). Most people seem to actually think that bioavailability is the same thing as bioefficacy. It is not, and while users probably want to know about bioefficacy, this is typically not answerable, and letting them ask and answer about bioavailability instead seems like a good way to spread disinformation. So, we simply don't add bioavailability to the tiny area of allowed-by-exception questions on nutrients.
I hope this cleared up better how to know where the line is. If it still seems like too much, you can try going by the rule of thumb:
Questions on nutrition are forbidden. The exception that is allowed (under the nutrient-composition tag) requires that 1) the OP names a compound in the question, and 2) the question is about the measurable quantity of that compound in the food, before it has been eaten.

Bottom line: It's not nutritional advice I am providing. It is an explanation of the science and the history of the process. That's my problem with the "policy" and your reasoning. But it's a community, right? So, I'll keep answering questions the best I can...and raising questions when I disagree. In this case, I think we can do better than an outright ban on anything contains the words "nutrition" or "nutrients." I think moderation can easily handle the distinction between health advice (which I believe is the intent of the policy) and scientific and historical fact.
I agree that it is science - it is just connected to a scientific discipline which is off topic. What would be better than the outright ban on nutrition? Where would you put the line? How would you deal with all the cases of people treating an opinion-based statement as if it were absolute undeniable truth? These are not rhetorical questions, if we can carve out a better, less confusing policy that is still aligned with the SE model, that would be great, and hearing your suggestions would be informative. Even if you don't have a suggestion, thank you for raising the question.
As I stated, I believe the policy intent is to avoid nutritional advice...is this healthy? What is more healthy? ...etc. In the case here, looking at your bullet points above: 1 -Fact, for untreated corn (basic science). 2 - Fact, Niacin is necessary for human health. 3 - Fact, that is why nixtimal is historically significant. 4 - See point 3. We clearly disagree on the intent of the policy. My preference is to allow moderation to make a distinction between health advice and science that helps to explain an important culinary process.
@moscafj science is full of evidence for true statements (facts, as you call them) and evidence for untrue statements (let's call them lies). The purpose of the policy is that moderators and voters should not be required to distinguish between facts and lies related to nutrition - so, "eating niacin is necessary for human health" and "eating enriched uranium is neccessary for human health" have to be both treated equally, despite one being a fact and the other a lie. Under that constraint, we know no better way of preventing the lies than preventing the few facts together with them.
I disagree with your reasoning. There is a health condition that arises from a lack of niacin, for example. It is called pellagra, and without nixtamalization would have been the demise of corn-centric cultures. No one, in the history of the world, has suggested that "eating enriched uranium is necessary for human health." It's pretty easy to distinguish, especially with the advantage of a system that is supposed to allow for community moderation. Clearly we are going to have to agree to disagree. You keep referring to "we", but I am only seeing your perspective on this.
...I'll look forward to hearing other perspectives. Moderation and editing constantly keep fact and lies in balance on this site. That is not a good enough reason in my opinion.
@moscafj independently of the policy on health and nutrition, moderation and editing is explicitly forbidden from dealing with the lie/fact distinction. Imagine an answer which states that the sky is orange - neither a moderator nor a user (except the answerer) is allowed to edit it to say that the sky is blue, or to delete it because of its being a lie. And that's standard policy for the whole network, see meta.stackexchange.com/a/111533/149055 and most questions on Meta.SE marked with wrong-answers.
I think you can find plenty of evidence of comments making corrections to reasoning, correcting, and adding context, this generally allows the community to arrive at the best answer for a question. But again, I see our interpretations differ and, while not many folks participate in meta, I do look forward to hearing other perspectives.
I don't want to wade too much into particulars here, and have written my own answer. I think the broad point I'd make, though, is that if we strictly adhere to rules that make it impossible to mention nutrition in a historical question, then we're ultimately prioritizing those rules over our ability to answer questions that we claim are within our scope - and I don't think that's a good tradeoff to make.
Is it okay to mention nutrition in a question?
Difference between "health" and "nutrition" tags.
Do we need a NPOV policy for statements around health/diet/nutrition?
If questions about general health and diet issues are not allowed, does it make sense to keep the "health" tag?
What are the guidelines for questions about nutrition / nutritional content?
Closing for "nutrition or health"--where is the boundary?
Why are hangovers off-topic?
Are questions about short-term effects of food on your body on-topic?
Is asking about (un)healthy meats in a specific country on topic?

How Much Does A Car Cost To Make
Leave a Comment / Automotive / By Usama Ali
How Much Does A Car Cost To Make? Car manufacturers have to cover a lot of costs when building a car. From the cost of materials to the cost of labor, many factors go into the final price of a car. In this blog post, we will look at some of the major costs of making a car. We will also explore how much each component costs and how that affects the car's overall price. So, if you're curious about how much it costs to make a car, keep reading!
1 How Much Does A Car Cost To Make
2 How Much Do Car Manufacturers Make Per Car
3 How Much It Cost To Build a Car
4 How Much Does It Cost To Make A Honda Civic
5 How Much Does It Cost To Make A Toyota Camry
6 How Much Does It Cost To Manufacture A Toyota Corolla
The cost of making a car varies depending on the manufacturer. On average, it costs around $17,000 to make a car. However, this number can range from $33,000 to $133,000. For example, Ford makes an estimated gross margin of $2,200 for every average-priced car it sells for $22,000. Thus, the cost of making a car is significantly higher than the selling price for most manufacturers.
However, this cost is offset by the fact that cars are typically sold with a warranty, which helps ensure that the customer is satisfied with their purchase. In addition, cars usually have a resale value after a few years, which helps offset the initial cost of manufacturing. Ultimately, the cost of making a car is relatively high, but several factors help to offset this cost.
How Much Do Car Manufacturers Make Per Car
Car manufacturers make a good profit margin on each car they sell. On average, they make an estimated $17,000 per car. This means the cost of manufacturing a car ranges from $33,000 to $133,000.
For example, Ford makes a gross margin of $2,200 on every average-priced car it sells for around $22,000. So, while the manufacturing cost of a car is high, the profit margins are also very healthy. This explains why the auto industry is such a lucrative business.
How Much It Cost To Build a Car
It costs a lot of money to build a car. Auto manufacturers typically make an estimated $17,000 per car. This means that manufacturing costs range from $33,000 to $133,000. For example, Ford makes an average gross margin of $2,200 on each car it sells for around $22,000. The cost of building a car depends on many factors, such as the make and model of the car.
However, it is safe to say that building a vehicle is a costly endeavor. Consequently, when you are considering buying a car, keep in mind how much it costs to manufacture one in the first place. It might make you appreciate your new ride all the more!
How Much Does It Cost To Make A Honda Civic
The cost of making a Honda Civic will vary depending on the model and year of the car. For example, the 2020 Honda Civic Type R has a base price of $39,995. This includes the cost of materials, labor, and overhead. The total cost will also depend on the number of units produced. For example, if Honda only produces 10,000 units, the cost per unit will be higher than if they produce 100,000 units.
Fixed costs like research and development, advertising, and interest on loans. Variable costs like raw materials and labor. But one factor that always comes into play is economies of scale. The more units a company produces, the lower the unit cost. This is because fixed costs are spread out over larger units.
Honda is a large company with many factories around the world. This gives them an advantage when it comes to economies of scale. As a result, they can produce cars at a lower cost than many other manufacturers.
How Much Does It Cost To Make A Toyota Camry
The cost of making a Toyota Camry will depend on the vehicle's year and the trim level. The average cost to make a Toyota Camry is about $22,000. The gross margin for Ford is about $2,200 per car. The Toyota Camry will have different features depending on the model year and trim level. The features that are available on the vehicle will affect the production cost.
The average Toyota Camry has a four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive. The vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be used to determine the exact specifications of the vehicle. The VIN can be found on the driver's side of the dashboard, on the door jamb, or the insurance card.
How Much Does It Cost To Manufacture A Toyota Corolla
It costs Toyota about $12,500 to make a Corolla, which goes for about $5,000. That means the company makes a profit of about $2,500 per car. The cost of making a Corolla has risen gradually over the years as the cost of steel and other materials has increased.
Toyota has offset some of these increases by using more efficient production methods and sourcing materials from cheaper suppliers. Even so, the company's profits have come under pressure recently as competition from cheaper rivals has intensified. To remain competitive, Toyota will need to continue to find ways to reduce its manufacturing costs.
So there you have it, everything you ever wanted to know about how much a car costs. It's not cheap, that's for sure, but with the amount of money at stake, it's no wonder automakers are always looking for ways to reduce expenses and increase profits. Do you have any questions about anything we talked about in this post? Let us know in the comments!

XTrade fully compliant with ASIC's requirements about daily settlement of client money facilities, adds PayPal deposit option.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has guided its licensed retail OTC derivatives issuer XTrade.au Pty Ltd to change the way the brokerage handles client money. The Australian subsidiary of XTrade has successfully revamped its payment processes to comply with the requirements of the regulator.
ASIC has issued a communique this morning announcing that the company has been guided to implement changes to the ways it handles payments. The watchdog states that it was concerned that XTrade's parent company was depositing a 'buffer' into the client trust account to cover any potential shortfalls.
Challenges for brokerages have been related to client settlement challenges arising from dealings with local banks. Daily settlement facilities from Australian banks have been too hard to obtain for some new entrants into the market. Some firms have been doing reconciliation on a daily basis while banks weren't providing daily settlements.
In the meantime XTtrade has managed to secure for its clients a new lucrative deposit option: PayPal. The company has already activated for its clients one of the most renowned online payments systems, an effort which brokerages know to be very time consuming.
Clients of XTrade are already able to deposit via PayPal using the cashier system of the brokerage. For the time being the deposit option is available for clients who have registered their accounts with the European subsidiary of XTrade.

Pope Joan
(person) by Segnbora-t Wed Jun 14 2000 at 20:03:58
The legend of a female Pope is just that, a legend. From Larousse's Dictionary of World Folklore (via www.urbanlegends.com): "Pope Joan--Legendary female pontiff, said to have reigned as John VIII from 855 to 858 until her male disguise was exploded by labour pains. In fact Benedict III succeeded Leo IV in 855 after a period of only a few weeks.
"One of the earliest forms of the legend is found in the 13th century 'De septum donis Spiritu Sancti' ('The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit') by Stephen of Bourbon; according to him Joan was elected pope in Rome in c. 1100 after showing extraordinary learning as a scribe and notary, but upon giving birth during a papal procession to the Lateran Church her imposture was discovered and she was taken out of the city and stoned to death. Later accounts claimed that she died in childbirth during the procession, and it was said that subsequent popes avoided that street in their own papal processions. She was often known as Agnes or Gilberta or simply remained anonymous until the name Joan became the standard form in the 14th century.
"The most influential source for the legend was Martin of Troppen, a 13th-century Dominican, who named her as Johannes Angelicus, born of English parents in Mainz, and set the date of her election at 855. She disguised herself as a man to follow her beloved to Athens, where she trained. The legend was accepted as historical for many centuries, and seized upon by Protestant reformers in the 16th and 17th centuries, but after the 18th century the myth began to lose credibility. It has been suggested that the fable may have originated from satiric criticism of the influential female senator Marozia in 10th century Rome."
Another detail found in some versions of the legend is that supposedly all Popes since then have had to sit in a chair with a hole in the seat and have some other Church representative stick a hand through the hole, feel their genitals, and announce "Testiculos habet" ("he has testicles"). This ceremony does not really occur either.

Also a good short novel by Lawrence Durrell.
There is a book on the subject by a Catholic scholar, The Legend of Pope Joan: in search of the truth by Peter Stanford (Holt, 1999). Stanford is a serious scholar who set out to debunk the "legend" once and for all, but ended up believing that it was true. One review says, "Unable to prove conclusively that Joan and her papacy existed, he is nevertheless able to present a remarkably credible and convincing case on her behalf."
Since he is a published and reputable pro-RC scholar, he was given access to many Vatican documents and artifacts, and claims to have seen and sat in the chair described above, and he described how it was different from the below-mentioned "Roman toilet".
And btw, perhaps Segnbora-t recalls Benedict III coming quickly up the stairs, but I was not around back then, so I can't be as sure.

I have real trouble understanding how anyone could believe this a story like this one. First off the stoning death of 'Pope Joan' after giving birth during a public processional... Give me a break. We're supposed to think that she could not have come up with some excuse to be indisposed rather than being out on parade? It is one of those details that just scream "this is a legend". "Yeah, and then she had a baby when she was being carried around in her pope thingy. Then a mob killed her." "Whoa, gnarly." And of course the stories disagree on if she was in fact killed or even what she was doing when she had her son. (Who was either killed or went on to be a bishop.)
Next up the infamous marble throne, the sedia stercoraria, really was a throne of sorts. It was a Roman toilet for use with a chamber pot. Only a fool would fail to realize what this was used for. Or someone with very little historical (or practical) knowledge. If this is a big secret thing why would they have a chair installed? Why not a quiet disrobing back in the Sistine Chapel after his election?
Very compelling is the fact that the story didn't circulate before the 13th century. Was this real history one would expect some account a little closer than four centuries after the fact. Stories like this, or Jefferson having relations with a slave, are written about at the time. They do not just pop out of no where centuries later unless they are made up. So why are their shrines to her if she didn't exist? Why do we put up plaques to Sherlock Holmes? Will someone think he was a real person in centuries hence just because there are cast bronzes of him in Baker Street?
In addition there is the inconvenient records of Pope Benedict III, the actual Vicar of Christ at the time. Everything from minted coins to paper records shows only Benedict III, there is not a Pope John VIII until AD 872. Nor is the fact that Martin of Polonus, an important historian, wrote about her in 1265 at all compelling. He is just repeating an urban legend he heard. Franklin D. Roosevelt, yes the president of the US, wrote about Sherlock Holmes as if he were real. Does that mean he was? Or because any of the hundreds of other noted scholars from our time have done the same?
Lastly there is the supposed credentials of Mr. Peter Stanford himself. He is the former editor of the Catholic Herald in London; does this prove that he would be inclined to be friendly to the church? No more than it would prove that I, a former Catholic, would be biased in favor the Vatican. Nor is being Catholic proof against believing nutty things, I think rather the opposite is true.
I'm no friend of the Roman Catholic Church, but this story belongs in the same category as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Amusing if you don't take it seriously and she was definitely not real.

Simplified method makes cell-free protein synthesis more flexible and accessible
A cartoon schematic of cell-free protein synthesis, a biotechnology that harnesses the cell's genetic code into a test tube. The schematic represents a simplified approach that allows scientists to execute the reactions by mixing a DNA template and two reaction premixes that contain all reagents necessary for protein synthesis to take place.

Researchers have radically simplified the method for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), a technique that could become fundamental to medical research.
Synthesizing proteins is essential for multiple types of pharmaceutical and genetic research. For years, proteins could only be synthesized within live cells. CFPS provides the novel ability to biosynthesize proteins in a test tube in a matter of hours without the need for living cells. This process provides a new level of control over protein production, an incredible boon for researchers pursuing high-throughput testing, biosensor construction, metabolic engineering and more.
"This biotechnology harnesses the genetic code in a test tube, providing direct access to biological machinery that is traditionally locked inside the cell," said Javin Oza, a biochemistry professor at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. "This allows scientists and engineers to make vaccines and therapeutic proteins, and perform diagnostic tests on-demand in the lab or out in the field. In the classroom, CFPS allows students to learn about the genetic code in an inquiry-based manner."
While the acceptance of CFPS as a promising technology has grown substantially in the past two decades, it still suffers from some limitations due to the difficulty and expense of implementing the technique.
As reported in the Journal of Visualized Experimentation, a group of researchers at Cal Poly led by Oza and collaborator Katharine Watts have developed a method to make CFPS widely accessible. The main advantages of the new technique are speed, cost-effectiveness and a much less complex reaction setup compared to other CFPS systems. To further reduce the barriers for scientists to adopt this method, the publication includes a video guide for implementing the new procedure.
"This protocol simplifies and clarifies the methods for implementing cell-free protein synthesis by non-experts," Oza said. "Improved access to these methods will help democratize the platform and its broad set of applications."
The new technique requires only basic laboratory training for new users to implement CFPS in their labs, from cell-growth and extract preparation to the in vitro protein synthesis reactions themselves. Researchers developed reagent premixes that greatly reduce the likelihood of error during setup and increase the probability of a successful reaction. These chemical and biological reagents are stable and can withstand multiple freeze-thaw cycles. In the paper, researchers also identify and report the variables that significantly impact the successful implementation of CFPS and the variables that new users should optimize for successful reactions.
The simplified procedure is functionally comparable to the more technical methods used previously and can be used to screen protein products more rapidly, greatly increasing the number of tests that can be run in a given time period. This capacity supports sophisticated research efforts, such as functional genomics and metabolic engineering.
"In our collaboration, we are employing the simplified CFPS method to synthesize and engineer complex mega-enzymes, which are traditionally difficult to express," said Watts, also a Cal Poly biochemistry professor. "The use of CFPS allows for much more rapid design-build-test cycles for engineering these mega-enzymes."
In addition to primary research, the new CFPS method can be utilized as an educational tool in high school and undergraduate classrooms. When packaged for educational use, it provides students the opportunity to engage with genetics in a hands-on learning environment.

TV viewing times. Where to watch the years final Major
With Sky Sports not an option to watch this years USPGA, Eir Sport are set to show all of the USPGA Championship but BBC viewers will get some red button action.
Both broadcasters have taken over from Sky Sports whose decade-long contract came to an end earlier this year.
Unfortunately, Virgin Media viewers in particular may feel hard done by as the BBC will show most of its coverage via the red button, a facility, like the Eir Sport channels, currently not available to them.
For those with only access to BBC, the broadcaster will have just 55 minutes of TV coverage on BBC Two on Thursday night — 11.20pm to 12.15am — with 70 minutes on the same channel from 11.05pm on Friday.
Coverage increases slightly on Saturday with BBC Two going live from 10.30pm while there will be just two hours and 15 minutes of golf from 10pm during Sunday's final round.
For those with access to Eir Sport or the red button, coverage will start at 6pm on Thursday and Friday and 7pm on Saturday and Sunday.
For anyone seeking an alternative online, Give Me Sport will broadcast each round on Facebook Live from 6pm on days one and two and 7pm at the weekend.

Towards a Model for Cultural Sustainability: The Case of Toki Rapa Nui
Sophie Gledhill (cello, United Kingdom) has recently appeared with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, English National Opera, in the West End production of Les Misérables, and as both Artistic Associate and actor-musician at the Banff Centre, Canada.
Sophie travelled to Rapa Nui as a Fellow of the 2018 Global Leaders Program.
Overcoming Local Cultural Bias in Arts Education Advocacy: The Case of The Macooba Center Previous Creating Strong Connections Between Conservatory & Community: The Case of Conservatorio Plurinacional de Música Next
Authors: Sophie Gledhill (UK)
Toki Rapa Nui is situated on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), a remote volcanic island over 2000 miles west of continental Chile. The organization's mission is to protect the social, cultural and environmental heritage of the island. Toki's School of Music and Arts was founded in 2012 and provides tuition to children of all ages in both classical and traditional instruments. While Toki as an umbrella organization has a broadly defined mission of environmental and cultural sustainability, the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts lacks its own clear identity and goals. Consultative leadership is required in order to develop a mission statement and specific outcomes for the music school.
In early 2018, I spent two weeks working alongside the students and staff at Toki Rapa Nui, Easter Island's School of Music and Arts, to prepare for the school's performance in Tapati Rapa Nui, the island's annual festival of culture. I taught cello and violin classes, offered guidance during orchestra rehearsals, led a composition and improvisation workshop, filmed student performances of traditional music, discussed strategy with staff, and gave solo and group performances. As far as the language barrier allowed, I carried out discussions about the organization, and its place within the context of life on the island, with founders, teachers, administrative staff, volunteers, parents and students.
CASE SUBJECT BACKGROUND:
TOKI RAPA NUI
Toki Rapa Nui is a non-profit organization on the Chilean territory of Easter Island, one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world. Situated over 2000 miles west of continental Chile with an area of 63 square miles, the population of the island at the 2017 census was 7750, 60% of whom are descended from Indigenous islanders. As Thor Heyerdahl has written in The New Scientist, "geographical isolation breeds unfettered speculation" (January 20, 1990), and the mystery-shrouded history of Easter Island ensures its ongoing international status as an intriguing and compelling destination for researchers and tourists alike.
The word toki is the name for the tool used to carve moai, the stone statues that have become globally recognized icons of the island. Rapa Nui is the Indigenous name for Easter Island and also designates its native people and their language. At the core of Toki Rapa Nui's mission is the concept of sustainability, both environmental and cultural. The organization comprises a number of strands that share the common aim of improving both the environment and the quality of life on the island, in areas ranging from agriculture, energy, and construction to the arts. When the island was annexed by Chile in 1888, the continuation of Rapanui culture was threatened. Until the late 1990s, the Rapanui people were not officially permitted to speak their native language, and Spanish was required for public sector jobs and education. Over the last two decades there has been a gradual move towards the revival and promotion of Rapanui language and culture, an agenda now taken up by Toki and suggested in its tagline, "Legado Viviente," or "Living Legacy." The Rapanui people are also starting to take back control of their ancestral land and monuments. In November 2017, for example, the Chilean president granted joint administrative rights to the Rapa Nui National Park.
Toki was founded in 2011 by a small group of young Rapanui people, including the concert pianist Mahani Teave and her husband Enrique Icka, a construction engineer and well-known singer-songwriter. Previously, no formal music tuition was offered on the island, not even as part of the school curriculum. Traditional musical skills and repertoire were usually passed down through families as part of an oral tradition.
In 2012, Ms. Teave secured a donation of classical orchestral instruments for the island. At first, the music school had no physical base and lessons took place in the homes of teachers. In 2014, construction began on the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts, a building that Toki describes as the first completely environmentally sustainable music school in Latin America. The School of Music and Arts is now at the heart of Toki's activities, along with the organization's agricultural activities.
To create a music school building in line with the organization's environmental aims, founders of Toki contacted the American architect and so-called "garbage warrior" Michael Reynolds, the founder of Earthship Biotecture. Earthships are constructed using basic materials such as cement combined with recycled elements, such as aluminum cans, glass bottles and tires. On land donated by Mr. Icka, hundreds of volunteers from the island and further afield helped to build a home for Toki that is completely self-sufficient, using sun, wind, rain and earth for processes providing electricity, water, heating and cooling. In a November 2017 presentation to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP23) in Bonn, Germany, Mr. Icka described Toki's ambitious goal to make Rapa Nui a fully environmentally sustainable island and consequently a small-scale model of environmental change for the rest of the world.
As of early 2018, Toki's music school offered tuition in both classical and traditional disciplines, including violin, viola, cello, trumpet, piano, ukulele and ancestral song. Tuition in traditional dance and body painting is also available, and it is hoped that the scope of art forms offered by the school will continue to expand. Since 2014, Toki has presented an annual concert at Tapati Rapa Nui, the island's festival of culture, which has taken place since 1968. For the Tapati performance on February 5, 2018, Toki formed — for the first time — a small orchestra, which performed a suite of Chilean children's songs arranged by Toki's piano teacher Ximena Cabello, and arrangements of two traditional Rapanui songs.
As of early 2018, Toki has approximately one hundred children registered, half of whom attend classes on a regular basis. Some students have attended the school since it was founded, while others have joined more recently as part of an ongoing recruitment drive. The Toki building acts as an after-school hub for these children and their families; it is not only a place to take lessons but also a place to congregate, socialize and eat. Students pay little or nothing to attend the school and instruments and tuition are funded by private donors, foundations and the Chilean government. Toki employs a minibus driver to transport students 1.5 miles to the school from the center of Hanga Roa, the island's only town, and parent volunteers use the kitchen at the school to cook for students and staff with produce grown on Toki's land.
Both the Fundación Mar Adentro, a Chilean foundation that supports the arts, education and nature, and ENAP (Empresa Nacional del Petróleo), a state-owned Chilean oil company, finance music classes at the school. In addition, the Consejo Nacional de la Cultura de las Artes de Valparaíso (the National Council of Culture and the Arts in Valparaíso) financially supports tuition in certain traditional Rapa Nui art forms, including hoko (a tribal war dance) and takona (body painting). Parents pay a small nominal fee annually, in part to assist with operating costs at Toki but also to help ensure regular student attendance. While the majority of the organization's income is obtained through contributions, a small proportion of revenue is earned through the sale of produce grown on Toki's land and of eight-stringed, Toki-branded Rapanui ukuleles made on the island.
CASE ISSUE:
TOWARDS A MODEL FOR CULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY
While Toki Rapa Nui as an umbrella organization has a broadly defined mission of environmental and cultural sustainability, the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts lacks its own clear identity and goals. For example, some teachers see the school as offering children the chance to experience a new hobby in an informal and sociable environment while developing extra-musical traits such as empathy and the ability to cooperate, while others believe that students should prioritize music practice in order to attain the highest artistic level possible. In addition, Toki must decide how the evolving cultural make-up of the island (many recent immigrants are from continental Chile) will influence the organization's definition and presentation of Rapanui music. A clear mission statement and corresponding goals would provide guidelines for defining and measuring success at the school and allow teachers and administrators to work effectively towards Toki's larger mission of resurrecting, sustaining and promoting culture on the island.
The first challenge would be for stakeholders to agree on an interpretation of "cultural sustainability." Should the moai and other points of archaeological and natural interest be maintained in their existing condition like artifacts in a museum, or should these sites experience organic change through the natural processes of weathering and even through controlled tourism? Similarly, should traditional Rapanui music be preserved fully and frozen in time? If not, then to what extent should other musical styles, including classical, influence traditional music? For instance, according to Ms. Teave, she used to believe that it was the duty of the Rapanui people to focus their efforts on the preservation of historical sites. More recently, however, she has come to believe that more resources should be channeled into the long-term protection of the physical environment, allowing culture to follow and morph in its wake.
One of the most successful current artists from the island is the singer Yoyo Tuki, now based in Australia. He always sings in the Rapanui language and cultural roots are at the forefront of his work, but his music also has pop, reggae, Afro-Pacific, folk and roots music influences. During Toki's concert at the Tapati festival in February 2018, ukulele students relished the opportunity to perform one of Tuki's songs, "Nanue Para." Their enthusiasm for new music sung in a language that was all but lost two generations ago suggests that Toki might take this experience as an inspiration for future activities and programming.
"In addition to transparent and inclusive decision making, the generation of a sense of ownership and pride at Toki is important for cultural sustainability"
CASE ANALYSIS
The following "SWOT" analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) for the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts is based on fieldwork observations and interviews:
A passion among Indigenous people to preserve Rapanui culture
A palpable sense of Rapanui identity across the island
The potential for a small, remote island to provide a model of sustainability to the rest of the world
A lack of collectively agreed-upon specific goals with quantifiable outcomes
Teachers with different expectations and philosophies of education
A lack of clear strategy, structure and discipline within the school
To present Rapanui culture to a younger generation, to visitors, and to a global audience
Fusion of Rapanui music with classical instruments and other musical influences may widen its reach and appeal
To use music and other art forms to raise awareness of the environmental work taking place on the island
Limited funding
Difficulty recruiting high quality teachers on a long-term basis
Increased tourism and immigration may challenge traditional Rapanui culture and way of life
The following recommendations are based on two principles: first, that decisions are best made by those within Toki, and second, that clear and inclusive communication is key to positioning Toki's School of Music and Arts as a model of cultural sustainability for Rapanui culture.
It is recommended that the Toki co-founders first clearly articulate the organization's overall mission, and then create a committee to develop a mission statement and specific outcomes for the music school. This committee should be representative of all stakeholders at the school, including co-founders, teachers, staff, volunteers, students, parents and funders. The committee should address two principle questions:
1.What does cultural sustainability mean in the context of the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts? To what degree should Rapanui culture be open to outside influences and to what extent should the music school seek to share Rapanui culture with immigrants, tourists, researchers and/or international audiences?
2. What is the primary purpose of the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts? Does the school offer music lessons primarily as a recreational activity or to develop a specific skill set among students? If the latter, should the school focus primarily on musical or extra-musical skills? To what extent, if at all, should traditional Rapanui music and classical music intersect and interact at the school? Should the introduction of classical instruments, repertoire and tuition to the island be treated as separate from the agenda to promote traditional Rapanui culture?
Following the development of a mission statement and specific outcomes, it is recommended that the committee work backwards from possible desired outcomes or social impacts to create a "theory of change" for the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts. The following table provides an example:
Teachers and visiting artists
Classes/workshops featuring composition and improvisation
Student compositions inspired by traditional Rapanui culture
A new generation of creative Rapanui musicians with knowledge of traditional, classical and other genres
Empowerment of the Rapanui people to present their living culture on a global stage
In addition to transparent and inclusive decision making, the generation of a sense of ownership and pride at Toki is important for cultural sustainability. If stakeholders do not feel that they have ownership of, and control over, the music school's activities and physical spaces, then attendance, artistic progress and motivation may suffer, ultimately leading to difficulties in securing funding and recruiting students and staff. For students, ownership not only of their culture, but also of the space in which it is transmitted and nurtured, can be cultivated through the implementation of small practical changes. These include:
Maintain the instruments provided by Toki so that students feel motivated to progress. The NGO Luthiers sans Frontières (Luthiers without Borders), for instance, might be willing to send volunteer luthiers to Rapa Nui to repair string instruments and maintain bows, at no cost to Toki.
Identify spaces within the Toki building where students can store instruments, sheet music and instrument accessories. This would encourage students to care for their instruments and would reduce time spent looking for misplaced shared sheet music.
If Toki decides to offer guided tours of the music school building, encourage students to give short, informal performances while visitors are being shown around the site. These tours would not only generate revenue for the school and promote its activities to a wider audience but would also increase pride among students and offer them additional performance experience.
Finally, it is recommended that the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts create opportunities for students to take part in high profile performances or recordings. For instance, in February 2018, students from the Artistic Conservatory of French Polynesia (Tahiti) visited Toki and performed at the music school. The Tahitian students demonstrated clear pride in their own culture and a desire to share it with others. If students at Toki were given similar opportunities to share their music beyond their remote island, they might begin to identify further possibilities for their art and feel the benefits of connection between cultures.
"Ultimately, a network of likeminded organizations might share best practices and even collaborate artistically to give new life and perspective to their own cultures."
The unique culture, history and geography of Rapa Nui must always be considered when addressing challenges specific to the island. Recent efforts to revive and promote Rapanui cultural expression instill both optimism and a sense of responsibility in the island's Indigenous people. The young and ambitious organization Toki Rapa Nui has the potential to harness this palpable, island-wide desire for cultural sustainability. Through effective consultative leadership, Toki has the opportunity to establish a unified concept of what it means to participate in and nourish Rapanui culture in a constantly evolving environment. It is recommended that Toki create a committee to develop a mission statement and specific outcomes for the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts. This committee might also develop a theory of change for the school: a succinct graphic representation of Toki's newly defined mission and corresponding plan of action. For students, a sense of ownership and pride in their practice, identity and environment will help to ensure cultural sustainability for generations to come. Toki holds the key to creating a cultural image and living legacy for Rapa Nui that goes far beyond the preservation of its stone facades.
A successful model for cultural sustainability at the Rapa Nui School of Music and Arts could be adopted elsewhere by organizations seeking to sustain and promote their own culture through the arts. Ultimately, a network of likeminded organizations might share best practices and even collaborate artistically to give new life and perspective to their own cultures.

Private Hike to Hollywood Sign, via Three Peaks
Most people only get a glimpse of L.A.'s famous Hollywood Sign from afar – now you can get an intimate look by hiking to it! Your epic hike to the sign on Mt. Lee is via the three peaks of Burbank Peak, Cahuenga Peak, and Mt. Lee in Griffith Park. This moderate hike will take you right up to the rear of the sign, with a gorgeous view of Los Angeles beyond. During your private, three-hour hike, you will:
Meet your guide at the designated place along Lake Hollywood Drive.
Take off on the Wonder View Trail towards the Hollywood Sign.
Stop at Burbank Peak and the Wisdom Tree, with a break to rest, taking in gorgeous views of the Santa Monica Mountains.

The Hollywood Sign was first built in 1923 to promote a real estate development known as "Hollywoodland" on Mt. Lee's southern slope. But the development never happened, and the land was purchased by broadcaster Tommy Lee in 1939, renaming the area to "Mt. Lee" after his father. Then, in 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce removed the last for letters and the remaining sign lives on today.
This is a one-way hike, 3 miles each way, and parts of the trail can be rocky, sandy and dusty. It is recommended that you wear close-toed walking shoes with good traction, preferably hiking shoes. Dress in layers, and bring a good windbreaker in case of strong winds at the top. Be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat for good measure. Also, please bring plenty of water (2 liters) as there is no water on the mountain. You are also welcome to bring snacks for energy, if you like. And don't forget your camera!

Tired of that same old look of your living space? Well, it's always a good idea to make a few changes every now and then in order to introduce a fresher feel. All you need to do is ensure that this is done right – otherwise, you might end up with unexpected results. Today I want to share with you 10 simple ways to bring some freshness to your interior decor using simple yet highly effective strategies.
Instead of keeping the chairs facing the table (as is tradition), you can do things the Parisian way and get them angled out toward the window. This gives you an opportunity to enjoy the outdoor scenery from the comfort of your living room.
A nice paint job in the inside of your closet can bring some brightness and warmth to an otherwise pale and boring room. A popular color option to go for in that case is pink – known for its cheerful look and feel.
A simple yet effective way to make your living space look fresh again is by decluttering it. Keep the toaster, microwave, mixer, juicer and coffee maker away, magazines, bags etc. away, and your house will look all fresh.
Pillows provide an inexpensive way to change the outlook of a room by introducing a bit of color and diversity. Large pillows tend to do this job better than small ones.
Take a visit to your nearest hardware and ask for heavy-duty, expensive-looking knobs. You can find ones with a gold or silvery finish and bring them onboard to add the unique look you desire.
Place a few flowers around the house to bring a new supply of fresh air in the room. Alternatively, go for potted ferns, potpourri or wreaths.
Nothing beats a faux fireplace in adding ambiance to unexpected places. You can get a ready-made unit or construct your own mantle with a nice looking array of candlesticks.
You don't have to be too serious when it comes to decorating your kids' rooms or bathroom. Just pick a theme and go with it.
Whether made of bamboo, paper or wood, decorative screens are versatile, unusual and are guaranteed to bring a touch of Zen to any living space.
Replace your standard lighting fixtures with designer ones for a more elegant look. Consider going for floor lamps and table lamps to increase the elegant feel around your home. I love the Jonathan Adler Gold bamboo chandelier on the photo above.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of things you can do to enhance the look and feel of your living space. You only need to think outside the box and make good use of resources available at your disposal. Have any ideas, questions or comments? Let's keep the conversation going on the comments section below.

Earlier than the arrival of your team of installers, you need to have cleared any furniture from across the window area, and moved any valuables. The work could be dusty, so it is a good idea to pack small gadgets away. The installers should deliver their very own dust sheets to cowl the realm they'll be working in.
The very first thing the contractors might want to do is to take away the previous windows. This can be noisy work but is usually over fairly quickly. In actual fact, eradicating the old home windows is often the easiest part of the work.

Once the frames are in place, the sealed items are fixed to the frames. The final a part of the installation is to seal across the edges of the frames with mastic and to make good any plasterwork across the window. The making good is very unlikely to cover wallpaper and paint although so it's not a good suggestion to embellish a room prior to installing new windows!
Before the group depart, they should clear up any mess and clear the windows. They should additionally ask you to inspect the work before you leave. You ought to be left with well-becoming new double glazed windows, and a clean home.

Q: Laravel 5.5 enviar a base de datos un array en formulario de editar he estado realizando un proyecto en laravel, me he encontrado la problemática de no poder mandar datos de array a una base de datos, voy a especificar lo que quiero lograr:
En un formulario de html yo tengo un select donde puedo seleccionar (valga la redundancia) múltiples opciones (gracias al plugin de jquery para multiselect), dentro del formulario para yo poder mandar multiples items tengo que especificarlo de esta forma: <select multiple="multiple" name="descripcion[]" notese como en descripción coloco los corchetes, ahí especifico que estoy mandando varios datos en forma de array. Mi controlador para editar se vería asi:
public function actualizar_c(Combos $user){

        $data = request()->validate([
            'nombre' => 'required|string|min:8|max:100',
            'id' => 'required',
            'descripcion' =>'required|string|max:250',

        ], [
            'nombre.max' => "el nombre es muy largo, no debe superar los 100 caracteres.",
            'nombre.min' => "el nombre es muy corto, como mínimo debe tener 8 caracteres.",
            'nombre.required' => "Debes ingresar un nombre.",
            'codigo.required' => "Debes ingresar un código para el combo.",
            'descripcion.required' => "La descripción es un campo Obligatorio.",
            'descripcion.min' => "El campo descripción admite como mínimo 10 y máximo 250 caracteres.",
            'descripcion.max' => "El campo descripción admite como mínimo 10 y máximo 250 caracteres.",
        ]);

        $user->where('id',$data['id'])->update($data); // actualiza datos

        return view('Combos')->with('combos', Combos::all())
                             ->with('productos', Productos::all());
    }
}

En mi formulario el campo de descripción está asi:

                Productos
                <select multiple="multiple" class="form-control" name="descripcion[]" >
                <option value="" disabled>Selecione todos los productos que necesite</option>
                 <?php foreach ($productos as $user) { ?>
                <option value="{{$user->nombre}}">{{$user->nombre}}</option>
                 <?php } ?>
                 </select>

Se me ocurrió que tal vez podría utilizar la funcion implode() para convertir el array en texto, pero no funcionó, hay alguna forma de pasar de array a string en este caso para poder enviar a la base de datos? O si es posible como implementar la función implode() que es la perfecta para este caso?

Red Bull Streams with Riedel
The Red Bull eSports studio in Santa Monica, CA is using Riedel's MediorNet real-time network, RockNet audio system, and Artist digital matrix intercom system in the production of live streaming events.
Wuppertal, Germany (December 3, 2014)—The Red Bull eSports studio in Santa Monica, CA is using Riedel's MediorNet real-time network, RockNet audio system, and Artist digital matrix intercom system in the production of live streaming events.
For example, one eSports broadcast format that's produced out of the Red Bull eSports studio pits two video gaming teams of five players against one another. Each player wears a headset that provides game audio and a link to other team members. The Artist system supports these communications, as well as the intercom and on-air audio signals of the commentators. Because the Artist system works with 48 kHz digital audio, it is also being used to create a downmix of game audio for each team, as well as for the audio mixing console. Combining individual game audio with the team communications, the Artist creates 10 individual mixes for each of the 10 players. A single four-core fiber cable, equipped with OpticalCON QUAD connectors, handles all signals.
Within the control room, the MediorNet system acts as a pre-switcher, feeding eight signals to the video switcher, and also provides feeds to the edit bay, two SSD recording units, and to a monitor wall. The MediorNet also serves as an audio de-embedder, in turn feeding audio to the audio mixing desk. The resulting audio and video mix is sent to two encoders for streaming via the internet.

Greece and its private creditors said they expect to complete a debt-swap accord this week after bondholders signaled they would accept European government demands for lower interest rates.
The sides are "close" to completing a voluntary exchange within a framework outlined by Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean- Claude Juncker, the Institute of International Finance, negotiating on behalf of private creditors, said in an e-mailed statement in Athens yesterday.
Creditors are prepared to accept an average coupon of as low as 3.6 percent on new 30-year bonds, said a person familiar with the talks, who declined to be identified because a final deal hasn't been struck yet.
Juncker, who also leads the group of euro-area finance ministers, said Jan. 24 that bonds issued in the swap should have a coupon "well below" 3.5 percent for the period to 2020 and below 4 percent over the 30 years. As recently as Jan. 23, private investors wanted the new 30-year bonds to have an average coupon of about 4.25 percent, two people familiar with the talks said then. That offer equated to a loss of about 69 percent on the net-present value of Greek debt.
Bondholders agreed with European officials three months ago to implement a 50 percent cut in the face value of more than 200 billion euros ($263 billion) of debt by voluntarily swapping bonds for new securities. A worsening economy since then has made it more difficult to achieve a goal of cutting Greece's debt to 120 percent of gross domestic product by 2020.

Silent Hill 2 news
Silent Hill remake, new games, and new movie confirmed by Konami
Shaun M Jooste
For those of you who know me well enough already, you knew I would write about this. Konami surprised us all when they announced a Silent Hill Transmission show. We all waited in anticipation for the news after all the rumors over the last year, especially a Silent Hill 2 remake. I can safely say, the company didn't disappoint. Well, for many of us, anyway.
Silent Hill 2 DOWNLOAD
The first announcement of the live announcement was the Silent Hill 2 remake we were anticipating. It looks like we're getting fresh visuals while retaining the same "behind-the-shoulder" camera movements. Red Pyramid Head is making a return, of course, and he definitely received a face-lift, so to speak.
The second bit of news is related to the remake. Return to Silent Hill will be Christophe Gans' second movie, the third in the film series. From the trailer and the teaser poster, it looks like it's also going to be based on Silent Hill 2. If you recall, we mentioned in a recent article that Gans did an interview about this movie, which is where he leaked news about upcoming Silent Hill games.
So, with what we suspected was coming out of the way, we waited to see what more was on the horizon. Silent Hill Townfall caught us by surprise, but the trailer doesn't really give too much away. The name suggests it maybe has to do with the time when the town started burning and things went wrong.
Konami then treated us to Silent Hill Ascension. Not much is clear on this title, except for two main points I noted. One, it will be a multiplayer experience where choices are permanent and you can't reset. Two, the same team that worked on Silent Hill for Dead by Daylight will be involved.
Finally, we heard about Silent Hill f. I'm not sure if that's going to be the actual name of the game, but that's what we saw in the trailer. It was an exciting preview of what seems to take place in Japan instead of America. It's definitely a game I'm looking forward to playing.
The other news had to do with Silent Hill merchandise, but I'm more interested in the games and movie. From all this fuss, it seems there's a rising interest in my Silent Hill novels I'm working on, specifically the first one. It's a bit of a crazy day for all of us SH fans, with Facebook groups blowing up with their reactions. Many of them are happy, but there are still those that you can never satisfy and will always find something to be upset about.
As I'm writing this, PlayStation Blog just published an interview with Konami producer, Motoi Okamoto, and Mateusz Lenart, Creative Director of the Bloober Team for the Silent Hill projects. You may want to give that a read for more insight into what's to come.
