Over recent decades, the leadership team here at VHV has seen firsthand the job market change around Burlington, VT. As new industries and digital businesses pop up, there is less attention paid to the trades. We live in a growing area with booming construction of commercial, industrial and residential developments, and skilled trades workers continue to be incredibly important for the growth and economic success of our state.
The dwindling interest in trades has a few causes, but one is the overall understanding of the profession, and a path to getting in the door. That's where VHV comes in, to bridge this gap in accessibility for the next generation of the workforce.
Starting this fall, we're welcoming groups from schools in our region to come to our headquarters to learn more about what we do.
While virtually every commercial, professional, and industrial structure has HVAC/R, plumbing, piping, and general facility operations, it's not the primary focus of any building, and can go unnoticed if you aren't clued in to how it all functions. At our Open House events, attendees will learn a bit about the importance of our industry in general, and about the day to day projects and accomplishments that we're able to be proud of.
We will take a tour of our facility, to show students how we collaborate in our prefabrication workshop with the on-site teams to give structures the bones of a modern facility with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration.
Our world involves so much more than these basic principles, and we will dive into the challenging and strategic world that our engineers and project managers encounter as well.
Finally, we'll share a little insight into how VHV is different from other mechanical construction contractors. First and foremost, we're an employee-owned company, and this allows each of our employee-owners to participate and help make VHV a better company for ourselves, our customers, and our community.
Interested in joining us for an Open House? Learn how to register here.
Our company history began out of the garage of a single talented tradesman who delivered high quality work, and grew because of his talent and reputation to the 100+ person company that we are today.
We are always working to solve problems for our customers and construction partners, but now we are uniquely positioned to help our community and educators as well. We hope our Open House events serve as a educational opportunity for local students to learn more about a profession and career in our industry, past what can be taught in the classroom.

"You see how it's so smooth? That's the first rule," says Payard as he leans over a glass bowl, stirring an egg white into a blend of almond flour and powdered sugar. He's showing Wu how to make a macaronade, the base for the meringue sandwich cookies called macarons. Wu is a gifted fashion designer (he created the inaugural gown for Michelle Obama) and an ambitious home cook. But the one time he made macarons, he mistakenly used almond paste instead of almond flour, rendering them fatally lumpy.
Wu has established through careful research (a lot of macaron-eating) that his favorite macarons are Payard's (available at Payard Pâtisserie & Bistro in Las Vegas). So he leapt at the chance for a lesson with two friends, the stylist Kate Young and the Estée Lauder model Hilary Rhoda.
Macarons consist of a layer of filling sandwiched between meringues that are miraculously tender, crunchy and ethereal all at once. Not to be confused with macaroons (egg whites folded with shredded coconut or grated almonds), the modern French macaron is credited to the Parisian pastry shop Ladurée. Macarons are mistakenly thought to be hard to make. But, as Payard explains, they require only four things for success: a smooth macaronade, a fluffy meringue, attentive baking and plenty of filling.
Payard turns on his standing mixer to whip the meringue. Wu asks if he can use a handheld mixer at home. "Sure," Payard says. "Just don't overbeat the egg whites." Payard pours hot sugar syrup into the fluffy whites, turning them glossy and sleek. Then he helps Wu fold them into the macaronade, turning the bowl with his left hand while working the spatula with his right.
Many chefs think they must pipe the meringues into perfect rounds to avoid dreaded peaks. But this kind of piping takes years of practice. Payard shows Wu a smarter way: He pipes them out roughly, taps the tray on the table a few times, then lets them dry for anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the humidity. The tapping and drying give the cookies a protective skin and allow them to settle into perfect rounds all by themselves.
"Okay," Payard says. "Now I will show you how to bake them." After sliding the macarons into the oven, Payard shuts off the heat for a few minutes, then turns it back on to finish the cookies. "They turn brown if you leave the oven at the same temperature the whole time," he says. His emerge vividly pink.
Payard helps Wu and his friends spread raspberry jam onto the meringues. "No filling, no flavor!" he coaches. Wu takes a bite. The macaron collapses and shatters into a perfect crunchy-creamy bite. "I'm making these next week," Wu says. "I'll send you a picture so you can see how smooth they are."


We're building long-lasting change in Detroit.
Since 2000, the city has experienced a drastic drop in population. Thousands of abandoned homes and vacant lots have drained the city of the vitality and economic activity it needs to create opportunity for its citizens. As a result, residents—who are disproportionately low- to moderate-income—confront a 20 percent unemployment rate. We're working closely with local partners to create a place-based strategy to revitalize the city and once again make it a key economic engine for the region and the nation.
Last year, we were a proud recipient of the distinguished Wells Fargo NEXT Award for Opportunity Finance, receiving $2.75 million to substantially expand our work in Detroit. With the NEXT Award, we will help develop 300-400 units of new affordable housing; generate more than 500 jobs; support more than 20 small businesses; and deploy $40 million of loan financing and $2 million of predevelopment financing in the next two to three years.
Also in 2013, along with our partners, we launched the Woodward Corridor Investment Fund to bring financing to developers interested in revitalizing an area of midtown Detroit known as the Woodward Corridor, the heart of the Motor City for decades. The Woodward Corridor has occupancy rates above 95 percent with a high demand for more housing, retail, academic and medical space. With a unique combination of capital, the Fund is able to offer long-term, fixed rate loans with competitive terms for multi-family and mixed-use properties that will close during 2014.

Genre Drama
The Old Vic Get directions
Closing 23/05/2020
Amy Herzog's Pultizer Prize for Drama nominated play, 4000 Miles is coming to the West End this spring.
Directed by Matthew Warchus and starring the award-winning Eileen Atkins (The Crown; The Height of the Storm, West End/Broadway) as Vera and Timothée Chalamet (Lady Bird; Call Me By Your Name) as Leo, the dramatic show tells the story of family, loss and breaching the chasms between generations.
At the beginning of the summer 21-year-old Leo set out from the West Coast cycling across America with his best friend. After weeks of radio silence, no one is more surprised than his 91-year-old grandmother, Vera, when Leo turns up on her Manhattan doorstep in the middle of the night. As they settle into Vera's faded New York apartment, 3000 Miles tells the story of two family members at opposite ends of life, exploring generational grief and connection.
As we witness his life just starting and hers nearly ending, in a faded Greenwich Village apartment their griefs collide.
Dame Eileen Atkins has a long and impressive rap-sheet of TV, theatre and film. She's won three Olivier Awards and been nominated for four Tony Awards. Famously, she was one of the co-creators of British TV classic, Upstairs, Downstairs and was given a CBE in 1990 and a DBE in 2001 for her contribution to the arts.
Timothée Chalamet makes his West End debut in 4000 Miles. Though he'd already starred in Homeland and Interstellar, Timothée burst into wider recognition with his supporting role in Greta Gerwig's coming-of-age film Lady Bird, and his lead role in Call Me By Your Name in 2017. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, making him the third-youngest nominee ever in the category. Most recently, he's been gracing our screens as King Henry V in period drama based on Shakespeare's Henriad – The King.

So, I took a break from the forums again for a few months. I got back into developing my Touhou fan game (Scarlet Devil Underground). I finally got it "demo-ready"; it still feels somewhat unrefined, but I felt like I couldn't wait any longer and wanted to get it out there.
It is currently Windows only, although a Mac and Linux version will be available eventually.

Current big thing is AI refactoring, which goes along with turning enemies into a prefab object type (almost completed).

Former Red Sox Pitcher Supports Trump, Says Team Should Visit White House
Brad Penny stands behind the president — and believes sports teams should always go to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
By Tom Joyce | December 4, 2018
While it is still unclear if the 2018 World Series champion Boston Red Sox will pay a visit to the White House and meet with President Donald Trump, one of their former players publicly voiced his support this week for them to attend.
Two-time MLB All-Star Brad Penny (pictured above left), who pitched in the league from 2000 to 2014 (and spent the majority of the 2009 season with the Red Sox), recently made his thoughts clear on what his former team should do.
He's supportive of a potential White House visit.
"You gotta go," he told TMZ in a recent interview. "You support the president whether or not you voted for him. We live in a great country. I personally support Trump. He's our president, like I support anyone in that office. I think they gotta go. It's an experience they may never have again. So, in my opinion, you go."
He added, "You can't learn anything about them if you don't go see them."
Penny himself has some experience here. He won a World Series in 2003 as a member of the Florida Marlins (now the Miami Marlins); and he went to the White House and met then-President George W. Bush in January 2004.
In addition to making clear he would visit any president, Penny also said he does not agree with leftists and never-Trumpers who would like to see President Trump fail as commander-in-chief.
"We want everyone who is in office to do good, you would think," he said. "But a lot of people want Trump to fail and it's unfortunate, because when [Barack] Obama was in office — I personally didn't vote for him — but I wanted him to do well."
So far, the Red Sox have yet to be invited to the White House and have not committed to a visit either way.
The team's owner, John Henry, a known donor to the Democrat Party and owner of the anti-Trump Boston Globe, said last month of a potential visit, "I think we will. This is a special team. We'll see what they want to do, but I think so."
And after the team won the World Series, manager Alex Cora, who previously called President Trump "disrespectful" over a tweet about the Hurricane Maria death toll, said, "We'll talk about it later on" when asked if the team would visit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
At least one Red Sox player has said he would be thrilled to visit: relief pitcher Heath Hembree.
When asked about it shortly after the World Series win, he said, "Hell, yeah! I f*** with Trump!"
Both the Chicago Cubs (the 2016 champs) and Houston Astros (the 2017 champs) visited the Trump White House after they won the World Series.
But in other sports, skipping the trip has become the "trending" thing to do. In the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles did not visit after they won the Super Bowl in 2018.
In pro basketball, the Golden State Warriors refused the opportunity after winning the NBA championship in 2017, so they were not invited when they won again this year.

Home Happening Now New Alabama Bill Requires Schools to Start Day with the Pledge of...
New Alabama Bill Requires Schools to Start Day with the Pledge of Allegiance!
Jon Heltzel
A Republican Alabama lawmaker is working to make patriotism great again by pushing a bill that requires school kids to start their day with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Bizpacreview.com reported that the Republican lawmaker was prompted to act after finding out last year that his fifth-grade grandchild wasn't reciting the Pledge every morning at school, even though the Alabama Board of Education requires schools to allow students in public kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools to recite the Pledge every day.
The proposed bill seeks to transfer authority over the Pledge away from the school board, which is unable to enforce it, and make it a state law.
The debate over whether schools can require kids to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance has been going on for some time.
From AOL
One Alabama lawmaker wants to make sure the Pledge of Allegiance doesn't get lost in the day-to-day of public schools.
House Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter, R-Rainsville, said he was surprised last year to find that one of his grandchildren, a fifth-grader at the time, didn't know the Pledge of Allegiance.
Ledbetter said he found out that his grandchild's school wasn't reciting the Pledge every morning in spite of an Alabama Board of Education requirement to do so.
So Ledbetter filed House Bill 339, which would shift the authority over the Pledge away from the state school board, which, Ledbetter said, is not able to enforce it. Instead, state law would require every school start the day with the Pledge.
"I guess this gives it some teeth," he said. "It gives leaders of the schools and principals a law in place where they won't be afraid for their students to say it."
Forty-three states require the Pledge of Allegiance each day at school, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Ledbetter made clear that the law, in keeping with prior court rulings, would not require students to actually say the Pledge, just that schools would start their day with it.
"There may be some religious objections," he said, "We certainly don't want anybody made to do it. But it does keep the Pledge in our schools."
A 1943 U.S. Supreme Court decision, West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, prohibits schools from requiring students to stand for or recite the Pledge.
"My hope is this doesn't create a discipline problem," Ledbetter said. "If [students] just sit down, that shouldn't be a problem."
The state of Texas is currently embroiled in a lawsuit filed after a student who did not participate in reciting or standing for the Pledge were disciplined for doing so.
In Texas, an African American high school student was expelled in 2017 after the principal witnessed her refusal to stand for the Pledge, according to news reports. She was reinstated a few days later but filed a lawsuit alleging constitutional violations. The student, India Landry, settled the suit against the principal, but the state law, which requires parental permission for a student to opt out of participating, is still being questioned.
In August, a Colorado teacher pleaded guilty to child abuse charges after grabbing a middle-school student and forcing him to his feet after he refused to stand for the Pledge. The teacher, a 20-year veteran, received an 18-month deferred sentence and could have the guilty plea withdrawn if terms of the sentence are fulfilled.
In February of this year, an African American sixth-grade student in Florida was arrested after refusing to stand for the Pledge and becoming engaged in an argument with school officials. The student was charged with disrupting a school function and resisting an officer without violence according to news reports.
Meanwhile, an Atlanta public charter school made news last year when officials dropped the Pledge as a regular morning activity.
Ledbetter's bill will be taken up in the House Education Policy Committee on Wednesday.
"My concern is that's just a part of our country we patronize," Ledbetter said. "It's part of our heritage."

The Dark Future Awaits: Book of Eli
on movies on Wednesday, February 10, 2010
From producer Joel Silver ("The Matrix") comes Columbia Pictures' new action-adventure "The Book of Eli" starring two-time Academy Award winner® Denzel Washington ("American Gangster"), Gary Oldman ("The Dark Knight"), Mila Kunis ("Max Payne"), Ray Stevenson ("Punisher: War Zone"), Jennifer Beals (TV's "The L Word") and Michael Gambon ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire").
In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth—all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man for his shoes, an ounce of water…or for nothing at all.
But they're no match for this traveler.
A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli (Washington) seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It's not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive—and continue.
Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds, and is determined to make it his own: Carnegie (Oldman), the self-appointed despot of a makeshift town of thieves and gunmen. Meanwhile, Carnegie's adopted daughter Solara (Kunis) is fascinated by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he offers of what may exist beyond her stepfather's domain.
But neither will find it easy to deter him. Nothing—and no one—can stand in his way. Eli must keep moving to fulfill his destiny and bring help to a ravaged humanity.
"The Book of Eli" is directed by the Hughes Brothers ("From Hell") from a screenplay by Gary Whitta. It is produced by Joel Silver, Denzel Washington, Broderick Johnson, Andrew A. Kosove and David Valdes. Steve Richards, Susan Downey and Erik Olsen serve as executive producers, with co-producers Steven P. Wegner, Yolanda T. Cochran and John David Washington.
The creative team includes director of photography Don Burgess, production designer Gae Buckley, editor Cindy Mollo and costume designer Sharen Davis. Jon Farhat is the visual effects supervisor. Music is composed by Atticus Ross, and the music supervisor is Deva Anderson.
Opening soon across the Philippines, "The Book of Eli" is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Visit www.sonypictures.com.ph to see the latest trailers, get free downloads and play free movie games.


This shawlette is essentially a variation on the solid half granny square. It's made in top-down rows, with increases on each end and in the middle "corner." The unusual construction works great with striping yarn and the acrylic/cotton blend keeps it cool enough for summer. With a four-row repeat, it works up super fast and is perfect for Croflixing (Crochet+ Netflixing).
Without further ado, let's get into the pattern!
Don't forget to Pin it HERE.
And add it to Ravelry HERE.
Please note: Because I was making a shawl for a smaller person, I made it smaller rather an adult-sized. To make a larger one, keep going until you reach the desired size.
Gauge: the first three rows make a 2.5" x 2.5" x 4" triangle.
Finished size: 48" across, 25.5" deep, 32.5" along the sides.
The pattern repeat is rows 2-5. For your convenience, I've written a few rows past that to help you get the hang of it.
Magic ring: Find my favorite tutorial HERE. If desired, a ch 4 (counts as magic ring plus dc) can be substituted.
Remember, the repeat is just rows 2-5. For your convenience, I've written down the next repeat below.
Rows 10-38: Repeat rows 2-5, ending on a 2.
Edging: Ch 1, 2 sc in first st. Picot. *sc in next 3 st, picot* repeat until corner. (2sc, picot, 2 sc) in ch-2sp. * sc in next 3 st, picot* to end of row.
If desired, sc across the top of the shawlette, averaging about 2.5 sc in the side of each dc.
Fasten off. Weave in ends And enjoy your beautiful new accessory!
Remember to like Stuck with Ewe on Facebook, add me to your favorites on Ravelry, and leave me a comment below because I am genuinely curious: Did you like the extra written rows?

HOME > ARLINGTON MANCHESTER
Vermonting: A Day Trip to Arlington and Manchester
By: Jordan Barry
No matter which route you choose, it takes two and a half hours to drive between Burlington and Arlington. It's a trip I've made hundreds of times: as a kid, usually heading west into New York State up Route 22A from the small town in Bennington County where I grew up. Driving south when I was in college, I usually stuck to Route 7.
On a steamy summer day last week, my husband and I headed down Shelburne Road after breakfast, ready to spend the day at my childhood stomping grounds. We packed a cooler for stocking up at our favorite bottle shop and river gear for cooling off in the Battenkill River in the afternoon.
Arlington, a town of about 2,300 people, is historically notable for becoming the first capital of the Vermont Republic in 1777 and, much later, the longtime home of artist Norman Rockwell. When I lived in Brooklyn and described this place to friends, more than one insisted I'd made it up. What kind of place has two covered bridges? You went to public school and only had 35 students in your graduating class? Must be fake.
It's very real, though Arlington is sometimes overshadowed by larger and more bustling nearby towns. Showing people the small-town life of its dirt roads — tucked in the valley between the Green Mountains and the Taconic Range — always reminds me of how lucky I was to grow up there.
Despite my "A-town" pride, we started our day with a few stops in Manchester. There are places to grab a bite to eat in Arlington, but Manchester has Moonwink.
If you google "Burmese restaurants in New England," you'll get three results. The first is in the Boston area. The third, inexplicably, is in Brooklyn. Between the two — and with higher ratings than both — you'll find May and Wes Stannard's counter-service spot.
The Stannards opened Moonwink amid Manchester's outlet shops in July of 2018, bringing May's native Burmese cuisine to the town where Wes grew up. When I stopped in late last year, I was mildly shocked to find something other than burgers and wings in town. It was long past time to go back.
"We were throwing different ideas around and trying to figure out what could work up here," Wes said on my first visit. "The quality of life here is great, but there's no good food — there's no different food."
Burmese cuisine shows the influence of its more heavily represented neighbors in noodle dishes evoking Thai and Yunnan specialties and saucy curries familiar in India and Malaysia, but the combination of flavors and ingredients is entirely its own. Those tangy, slightly spicy flavors shine in traditional dishes such as ong noh kou swel, a creamy, coconut-based stew with chicken and noodles that is topped with hard-boiled egg, cilantro and lime.
We ordered one of those and a rice noodle salad — nan gyi thok — mixed with chicken cooked with shallots, ginger, garlic and turmeric and topped with hard-boiled egg and peanuts. The nan gyi thok came with a crisp cucumber and cabbage salad, which was a welcome relief from both the day's heat and the cumulative spice in both dishes.

Sitting outside at a picnic table, we formulated the rest of our travel plan. I needed something new to read, so the Northshire Bookstore was a must-stop. Because my husband realized he'd forgotten his swimsuit, we'd have to do some outlet shopping, too.
We quickly acquired the trunks and headed to the sprawling bookstore. Founded in 1976, the light-blue building is right in the middle of town, sandwiched between two of Manchester's slightly confusing traffic circles.
Northshire is open for in-person shopping (masks required) and curbside pickup. We browsed the gardening section, the best sellers and Vermont history books before making our way to my favorite part: the sizable food and cookbook section.

I picked up what might be the only M.F.K. Fisher book I didn't already own and talked myself out of at least three cookbooks. They're not really riverside reading material. Checking out, I squealed with delight when I noticed my coworker Melissa Pasanen's newly published The Little Local Vermont Cookbook: Recipes for Classic Dishes prominently displayed.
All that browsing made us thirsty, and we needed a few provisions for our afternoon on the Battenkill. My husband discovered the Crooked Ram a couple years ago while searching for good local cider (surprisingly hard to find in southwestern Vermont), and we've been occasional regulars ever since.
The craft beer and wine bar has evolved from the tiny bottle shop it was when it opened in early 2017 into an eating and drinking destination. It carries interesting Vermont beers and ciders and one of the most dialed-in selections of natural and local wines in the state. It's the kind of place where we intend to stop for a quick drink and a four-pack to go, then end up staying for hours and leaving with a car full of booze.
We sat outside with a couple of beers and soon were deep in conversation with owner Peter Campbell and recently hired chef Nevin Taylor. Chef/co-owner Kolton Niesen popped in and out. We shared Vermont beverage intel and our excitement about the state's nascent fermentation scene, touching on other topics such as local resilience networks, cultural appropriation and dismantling capitalism. You know, normal bar talk.
I asked how the pandemic had affected the Ram's business. Campbell said things have been busy, thanks to an influx of city folks — particularly young people — who came to quarantine in the area. So busy, in fact, that the Ram's owners plan to expand. The crew is building out a full kitchen this summer, increasing outdoor seating with a beer garden and growing the food program.
Campbell thinks many of the newcomers to Vermont may stick around, looking for a change of pace and a more pandemic-proof lifestyle. The area was already getting busier, he said, with traffic jams growing during last year's leaf-peeping season. These days, he hears of houses selling before they hit the market.
That influx was visible as we headed to Arlington from the Crooked Ram. Rather than take the quick route down Route 7A, we opted for a scenic loop through the mountains of Rupert and Sandgate, starting with Route 30 to Route 315 West.
As we drove through Dorset, the longest line of parked cars I'd ever seen stretched around the popular quarry swimming hole. We spotted only two with Vermont plates. I'm all for people moving to the area and boosting business for places like the Ram — heck, I moved back from New York City, too — but my pandemic-era response to that crowd was: Get me to the middle of nowhere, fast.
As the paved road turned to dirt just past Rupert, and our car started groaning at the climb, we passed the last vehicle we'd see for the next 20 minutes. That was more like it.
While not the most efficient path, the drive — or bike ride, if you're more ambitious — takes you past one vista after another: farms (including Merck Forest & Farmland Center, which is worth a stop), tiny mountain camps, and an endless expanse of trees. We didn't have cell service, and I didn't want it.
Winding down the notch on West Sandgate Road in Sandgate — a smaller version of Smugglers' Notch's narrow pass — I recounted memories of riding these tight switchback turns in a school bus, amazed at the driver's maneuvering skills. I drive a Mini Cooper, and it still seemed sketchy.
As the road opened out of Sandgate into West Arlington, we turned right and headed to the covered bridge. Built in 1852, the red bridge stretches across the Battenkill; a white church stands on the green behind it. Just past that is the house where Rockwell lived during his years in Arlington, using residents as models for his paintings of small-town America. His home is now an inn, and the former studio is still out back.

A prominent trout-fishing river, the Battenkill isn't deep. I'd thought about renting tubes and going for a float, but with the string of hot, dry days we'd had lately, it might have been more of a wade. (Several local companies, on both sides of the Vermont-New York border, rent tubes, kayaks and canoes and facilitate drop-offs along the river.)
Instead, we found a shady spot on the green and swam directly under the bridge. It's usually deep enough there for a little jumping or swinging from a dangling rope, but visitors should check the water level first.
After our swim, we walked down River Road past Rockwell's house. The dirt road runs directly alongside the Battenkill for more than five miles, passing farms, old stone walls, maple syrup lines and dribbling mountain streams.
Back at the car and ready for a snack, we made the quick drive to Wayside Country Store. The historic general store's motto has long been "If we don't have it, you don't need it."
This is where my family went when we ran out of eggs, or when we wanted morning coffee and local political talk or summer lunches (always the Vermont Special sandwich, with apples, cheddar, turkey and apple butter). It's where I selected penny candy, carefully weighed to match my allowance. This time, we stocked up on local veggies, hard-to-find hot sauce and spätzle from the Arlington-based Vermont Spätzle Company.
Refueled and ready to spend more time in the river, we parked at a new-to-me spot by the bridge closest to town. The owners of Keelan House, which used to operate as a bed-and-breakfast, generously mow trails for hiking and maintain river access for fishing and swimming; we skipped rocks and shared one of the beers we'd gotten earlier in the day.

Standing thigh-deep in the river with a good Vermont IPA in his hand, my husband said, "There's not much that could stress me out right now." The Battenkill, flowing through the valley where I grew up, has always had that power for me, too. For an afternoon, it stood up to a pandemic.

On September 17th 2013, Take-Two Interactive released Grand Theft Auto V to much fanfare and hype.
On September 17th 2013, Take-Two Interactive released Grand Theft Auto V to much fanfare and hype. Twenty-four hours later and with $800 million in combined sales, GTA V became the highest-grossing single-day product in Take-Two's history.
While these figures are staggering for single-day sales, Take-Two has indicated that the Japan and Brazil regions have yet to launch and that those figures will be added to the first-day sales numbers in the future. Is $1 Billion in sales possible for a launch-day product?
"All of us at Take-Two are thrilled with the initial response to Grand Theft Auto V. Once again, the team at Rockstar Games have outdone themselves, setting the entertainment industry's new standard for creativity, innovation and excellence.
Beginning at midnight on Monday, consumers around the world gathered in anticipation to be among the first to experience the evolution of this remarkable series. In North America alone, more than 8,300 stores opened their doors at midnight to welcome fans whose loyalty and enthusiasm were rewarded with what The New York Times called 'the most immersive spectacle in interactive entertainment'.
Grand Theft Auto V released to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 console platforms on Tuesday, September 17 2013. The upcoming multiplayer addition is expected to be released within the next month. PC platform release information has not been made available at this time but is rumored to appear within the coming months.

Anonymous Attacks the Dark Web
The hackers said that about half the data stored on the affected servers was child pornography.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/anonymous-attacks-the-dark-web
Hackers affiliated with Anonymous on Friday took down a significant portion of the dark Web.
Visitors to more than 10,000 Tor-based websites running on the popular Freedom Hosting II provider for dark sites encountered an unusual message, according to The Verge. "Hello, Freedom Hosting II, you have been hacked," the message read.
The hackers said that about half the data stored on the affected servers was child pornography, though that claim has not been verified. They also offered to sell the compromised data back to Freedom Hosting II for 0.1 bitcoin, or about $100, though The Verge said "it is unclear whether the offer is in earnest."
Over the weekend, Motherboard got in contact with the hacker claiming responsibility for the intrusion, who told the site he's a newbie: "This is in fact my first hack ever," the person wrote in an email to Motherboard. "I just had the right idea."
The hacker said they initially gained access to the service on Jan. 30, just to take a look around. The person claims to have found 10 child porn sites with approximately 30GB of files. The hacker told Motherboard that Freedom Hosting II limits sites to 256MB of material.
"This suggests they paid for hosting and the admin knew of those sites," the hacker said. "That's when I decided to take it down instead."
The incident comes after Anonymous hackers in 2011 used brute force attack to infiltrate the original Freedom Hosting, which housed about 40 child porn sites. Then law enforcement took aim at the hosting provider in 2013 child porn bust, which led to several prosecutions.
According to a report from anonymity and privacy researcher Sarah Jamie Lewis, Freedom Hosting II — named after its predecessor — hosted close to 20 percent of all dark websites.

Many stories emerging from the Francis Marion National Forest share a common genesis in Hurricane Hugo, the massive storm estimated to have knocked down nearly a billion board feet of timber on the coastal South Carolina forest in 1989.
But in a comeback success story, there was no knock-out for the red-cockaded woodpecker.
Before Hugo, the Francis Marion had the densest, second-largest, and only known, naturally increasing population of red-cockaded woodpeckers in the country. Prior to 1989, an estimated 475 breeding pairs lived on the forest.
The endangered bird is the only woodpecker in the United States that builds its nest cavity in living pine trees. The bird is dependent on mature, fire-maintained pine woodlands for its survival. The lack of potential trees for cavity excavation is one of the main reasons that the species is endangered.
The hurricane's sustained 130 mph winds likely wiped out more than half the woodpecker's population in a single night, destroying nearly 90 percent of cavity trees on the forest. Where the storm hit hardest, only some cypress and a few hardwoods were left standing.
Many biologists feared that the population would never recover to its former glory. Fortunately, researchers from North Carolina State University and the Forest Service's Southeastern Forest Experiment Station (now called Southern Research Station) were already pioneering the use of artificial cavities to sustain the population of endangered birds.
At this year's start, through aggressive habitat management and the installation of more than 2,800 artificial cavities, the woodpecker's population has rebounded to approximately 439 active clusters with about 426 confirmed potential breeding groups, exceeding the U.S. Fish and Wildlife recovery plan goal for the forest of 350 potential breeding groups.
"Cluster" refers to the aggregation of cavity trees that are claimed and defended by a group of woodpeckers. A "potential breeding group" refers to a cluster that includes an adult male and adult female. A typical cluster averages three or four birds — the breeding pair and "helper" birds, usually male offspring who remain to help raise the young. Female offspring typically disperse to look for new territory in which to nest.
The woodpecker's population on the forest is expanding, especially in the core burn area, parts of the forest that are consistently burned on a two- or three-year interval. Despite the fact that more than a third of the bird's clusters on the forest forage at or below the managed stability standard, the population continues to grow naturally. In fact, the forest supports one of the most robust populations in the United States, truly a testament to the resiliency of this species.


This year Honeybees is taking part in Auckland's 'Shoebox Christmas'.
Shoebox Christmas is an amazing organisation and team of volunteers who deliver Christmas presents (kindly donated by lovely people like us and you!), wrapped in a shoebox, to kids who could do with an extra smile on Christmas Day. They do this by working alongside low decile schools and preschools, Women's Refuge, and community organisations.
This year Honeybees Preschool has been allocated four year old Tania, and two year old Eric. We can't wait to make their Christmas Day really special. We hope to fill their shoeboxes at Honeybees with awesome little gifts, and welcome our families to pop something small in if they feel like it!
Check out the festivities, love and excitement shared during Shoebox Christmas last year!
Some snaps from Halloween last week! Always such a fun day!
A special visit from a beekeeper!
Last Friday we had a very special visit from a beekeeper!
Jessie from BEES UP TOP visited Honeybees to introduce the children to the wide world of pollination, honey and beekeeping - and to remind us all just how incredibly important our busy, buzzy little friends are!
Thank you so much for your time, Jessie (and for the delicious Bethells Valley Honey!) - we are so grateful for the work you are doing to rescue and re-home swarms of bees in Auckland City. You're showing that a few people can make a very big difference, and we are so excited to be supporting your efforts!
The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand suggest introducing five simple strategies into our everyday lives. Regardless of how much or little you interact with nature in your daily life, you can make the 'Five Ways to Wellbeing' work for you and your families!
During Mental Health Awareness Week we also placed a big emphasis on the importance of kindness and how it positively affects others. The children brainstormed ideas of things they thought represented kindness and five children were awarded Kindness Certificates last week for demonstrating especially kind behaviour towards their peers and teachers!
We all felt the kind vibes and are so grateful to have so many lovely, kind children here with us at Honeybees!
Honeybees Preschool recently reached out to our new friends at BEES UP TOP who are doing INCREDIBLE things right now! Jess and Luke are a young dynamic duo based out at Bethells Beach in West Auckland who are determined to save the bees!
"We have been urban beekeepers for five years. In 2016 we travelled the world learning about bees from beekeepers all over the world. We visited as many countries as we could get our sticky, honey covered hands on learning about the prevention of disease, crop pollination and honey extraction.
We aim to increase New Zealand's bee population by supplying healthy, happy hives to urban areas and to educate our future generation on the importance of keeping our little workers around."
Bees Up Top rescue swarms for free before the exterminator is called in, they run Beginners Beekeeping Courses, and they build hives which they will install and maintain on your property - and then at the end of the season, deliver your honey to you!
They are running a PledgeMe campaign at the moment, as their aim is to rescue and re-home 100 bee colonies starting this Spring. The hives that the rescue bees go into are expensive and so is their medicine however, so they need our help to raise funds. A small pledge will allow them to increase the healthy beehive population in New Zealand! For pledges of $30+ you'll even get a jar of Bethells Valley honey with a slice of honeycomb inside!
Honeybees Preschool just love what Jessie and Luke are doing and are very proud to support their project. Jess is popping in soon to have a chat with our little ones about our even littler friends out there keeping our world buzzing!
If you have a moment, please check out their PledgeMe campaign and donate - every dollar helps!
Here at Honeybees we love celebrating Matariki. This year the children created sparkly 'galaxy' play dough, and focused on artwork encompassing beautiful night sky stars!
As a special treat the children worked as a team to help our chef create a delicious root vegetable soup  We even had home-baked bread! 北What a feast!
Yesterday we had a special focus in our Group Time sessions on our beautiful blue and green planet.
The children and teachers had some inspiring conversation about how we can best love and care for this place we are lucky to call home...while getting our creative hands messy, of course!
The children have enjoyed learning a little about ANZAC Day this month, and this week they made some poppies of their own.
The red poppy has become a symbol of war remembrance all over the world.
Upon returning to preschool on Thursday this week, the children had noticed a lot of people wearing poppies on Wednesday!


This is a library with 181 models for Sweet Home 3d (http://sweethome3d.com), and all of them are based on the real IKEA models that you can find on your IKEA local store.
The library is based on one IKEA catalog (2012-2013) and all the furniture designs are property of IKEA. We have used the real sizes and proportions to make this library usefull.
The name of every model is the name that IKEA uses to show it in its web site, so you can go to www.ikea.com and find all the models of this library with the search function of the page. If you like how the models look in your home design you can always buy them on Ikea.
Once you have downloaded the library from here you will can add the library to your sweethome3d application.
Comment: Non ci sono cucine….che pacco!!!
Sorry, actually we are making a new pack with children furniture, after that it will come the kitchens pack!
Do you have the kitchen pack available. I just purchased the Ikea pack expecting the kitchen pack to be included but its not there.
I have planned to make a kitchen pack, yes, but it doesn't exit yet. I'm still doing the children pack, and after that then I will do the kitchen pack. Stay tunned!
I already have paid for the IKEA library and now how I can download this library? Where I can find a link for download?
The system will send you a message with the link once the payment is confirmed (sometimes it takes a little). Then you can dowload the file using the link or login here and going to the "Your purchase history" page.
Hello Wioletta. Probably the message is in your spam box. It's not necessary to wait for it, you can download directly the pack from here. Please, log with your user and you will see the link to your download.
Good job. Small update with Billy or Karlstad sofas would me great.
Waiting for Karlstad, maybe Ektorp. Some elements from Hemnes are missing too (shoe cabinets), but I'll try to do it myself.
there is any possibility of using these models in another program like blender?


Nokia's X line of Android handsets weren't quite as exciting as many hoped. Instead of shilling out Google apps and services, Nokia is using Android as a platform to push users into Microsoft's ecosystem (no surprise there). But xda-developers member Kashamalaga has already managed to gain root access to the Nokia X, allowing the device to run some of Google's most beloved services no problem. And, best of all, Nokia seems to be perfectly ok with the "progress being made."
It doesn't appear to be the smoothest experience just yet, but Kashamalaga apparently got things up in running in just five easy steps. Apps like Gmail, Google Now, Google Maps and Hangouts seems to work on the Nokia X developer handset. The intention all along was for Nokia to actually avoid using Google services, but it was always a matter of when, not if, the device could be opened up. The Nokia X was only just announced the other day, so it certainly didn't take long for the gates to be opened.
Perhaps we'll eventually see xda-developers fully replace Nokia's Android vision with something more vanilla straight from Google. Nokia X isn't necessarily a device meant to take over the mobile world, but there's still substantial interest. And the prospect of possibly seeing it run a more vanilla version of Android will surely interest a lot of die-hard mobile fans.

Home » Entertainment » Here's Why Pierre From Emily in Paris Feels Like a Real Person, When He Totally Isn't
12/22/2021 Entertainment
Fashion designer Pierre Cadault (Jean-Christophe Bouvet) makes an immediate impression in season one of Emily in Paris. With no remorse whatsoever, the designer refers to Emily (Lily Collins) as "ringarde," aka basic, despite her having pretty decent style. He's a man who was once at the top of his game — one of the most sought-after designers in fashion. But with changing times and ever-changing trends, Pierre found himself struggling to keep up, which naturally makes him a bit grumpy. For Emily, though, Pierre is still a legend she wants to win over to prove herself to her Savoir coworkers. So, is Pierre based on a real designer?
While Pierre Cadault doesn't seem to be directly based on any real person, one could argue he's an amalgamation of many other fashion designers. Considering Pierre's story — an aging designer trying to stay relevant while competing with streetwear brands and modern-art fashion — he could have pieces of other designers in a similar boat.
Pierre seems like he could be a French version of high-fashion designers like the late Karl Lagerfeld or Donatella Versace. Both European designers were and are legends in their field, constantly hustling to keep their brands popular. Or you can look to American designers with more affordable brands like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, who both have had to make considerable efforts to remain relevant. All of these fashion houses have gone through overhauls to keep up with trends, much like Pierre has to do on the show.
The brand Pierre is up against in season one of Emily in Paris, Grey Space, feels reminiscent of brands like Supreme, Public School, or even Off-White. These are more modern brands rooted in streetwear trends with an artistic take rather than classic fashion. Pierre and Grey Space are totally different but provide a tiny glimpse at the vast array of fashion that can coexist.
So while we can't say for certain who Pierre is based on (if anyone), assuming he's a little bit of everyone in fashion seems like a fair assessment.

Q: Groovy rest api for Dropbox without third party plugins/libraries I am trying to create a groovy script that will, based on some conditions, delete a dropbox folder full of artifacts.
I have been struggling to understand/figure out how to use Groovy restful API's without installing a bunch of Grails libraries or plugins, or the Dropbox API library from github.
Is it possible to use this dropbox URL: https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/fileops/delete_folder
without downloading extra libraries?
I'm having a lot of trouble finding information on the subject without the use of additional software.
Thanks !

A: Yes, you can easily create your own dropbox client from scratch but it is easier to check hints for JAVA developers and github repo with dropbox-sdk-core, which is already implementing dropbox API.
Remember to check out examples on github.

Let me try out an argument here that I don't quite believe, but might nevertheless be interesting "for purposes of contrast and entertainment." In the days of the old "iron triangle" alliance of water users, federal agencies and powerful congressional committee members, the feds did the opposite of what you're suggesting. Far from being able to stand up to powerful water interests, the federal government and the powerful water interests were indistinguishable. That's one of the reasons for the mess we're in.
I'm willing to entertain the notion that the "iron triangle" is dead. But if it's not, or if the approach you're suggesting helps bring it back?
I absolutely agree that the feds were mostly "carrying water," literally and figuratively, for the major water use interests for a long time, and that era cost a lot both economically and ecologically. I'm not too worried about the return of the "iron triangle" days, though. I think the law, the politics, and the agencies have all changed, becoming far less monolithic. I don't think the dam-building era is coming back, despite the fond hopes and best efforts of some who would like to see that. But if those folks gain more power in Washington, DC, might there be some negative consequences to a stronger federal role? That is certainly possible.

Listeners will find themselves dancing in their seats and humming along to the melody of the opening "Know It All." The infectious energy of this track sets the pace for what is to come over the next 10 songs. Coming in at 11 tracks, Falling Into Place has a nice balance of intense instrumentals and vocal tracks that vary from the rhythmic voice of Eric Rachmany to the energetic performance of guest artist Protoje on the track "Inhale Exhale." Throughout the entire album, bass lines and guitar licks are crisp and clean, while the melodies are elegantly crafted in this thoughtful well defined package. Songs such as "Those Days," "Free Up Your Mind" and "Inhale Exhale" illustrates an album-oriented production that took every minute of the record seriously.

Altec Lansing T612 – Review
February 16, 2009 August 13, 2012 Mark Rudd Review Leave a comment
Altec Lansing T612
Company: Altec Lansing
The Altec Lansing T612 in one of the first audio systems to adorn the new, "Works with iPhone" logo. This logo indicates that the T612 is certified to work in harmony with the iPhone in accordance with the specifications and standards established by Apple. We have all experienced the cellular bleed through resulting from using an iPhone with a standard iPod audio system. The "Works with iPhone" program was implemented to restore order between the iPod within the iphone and external audio systems. We have tested the diminutive (in size only) audio system and the results may surprise the average iPod/iPhone user looking for big sound in a small package.
With design cues reminiscent of many modern Apple products, Altec Lansing has designed an aesthetically pleasing audio system. The minimalist industrial design of the T612 combines harmonious amounts of brushed aluminum and black finished components.
The resulting product has a very small footprint as it rises from the surface to a height of 8.2″. The design has a very strong look and feel. The T612 presents an air of internal strength below its understated elegance.
Controls have been placed on top of the unit and are easily actuated and ideally spaced. Power, volume, bass, and treble are controllable from the unit itself. Altec Lansing has included a remote which provides these same controls with the addition of play/pause, and buttons for advancing forward or backward (these last three controls are not present on the unit, only the remote).
The T612 includes a docking station for the iPod/iPhone. The station incorporates the universal docking solution designed by Apple. This solution uses different Universal Dock Adapters to provide an appropriate fit for each product whether iPod or iPhone. While the documentation noted that, "Miscellaneous adapters for iPhone and iPod" were included in the package contents, only one adapter was actually present (more on this later). Make sure you have those adapters in your purchased unit. The proper adapter will insure that the attached device will seat properly within the dock.
The feature set of the T612 is long and substantial considering its size and price point. For a complete list of features, jump to the product page.
It is important to begin with audio quality. After all, the T612 is first and foremost an audio system. When it comes to its core reason for existence, the T612 does not disappoint. I was particularly impressed with the depth of sound produced by the four specially engineered speakers. The lows were deep without distortion. The tonal quality across the spectrum was unexpected and delightful. The XdB bass-enhancement technology must be credited with bringing above average bass reproduction sans the use of a subwoofer. Color me impressed.
At full volume, there was no discernible crack or distortion. No matter what type of audio content I played through the T612 (Rock, Classical, R&B, Podcasts), it handled it in a workman like fashion. I have listened to many different types of systems in this category, none sounded better than the T612.
As an early entry into the, "Works with iPhone" category of products, the T612 performed creditably. Once I installed an Apple iPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter (purchased separately from Apple), the iPhone seated firmly and all was well. The T612 worked well with the iPhone. Both the onboard controls and those found on the remote worked mostly as expected (more on this later).
The bane of audio systems which do not comply with the Works with iPhone standard, cellular bleed through, was never heard. When a test call came through while the iPhone was attached to the T612, the music was smoothly paused as the call was routed through to the iPhone incoming call screen. A quick selection of the speaker icon and, voila! The caller was then clearly heard through the T612 speakers. Everything worked seamlessly.
MAKING A GOOD THING BETTER
There are a few areas that could be improved to make the T612 even better. The placement of the power connecter is somewhat awkward and seems to be placing pressure on the cable.
When mounted on a wall, this pressure would most likely be mitigated. This may well be a design choice that was thoroughly tested and found to be viable over the lifetime of the unit. Stay tuned for updates regarding this issue.
I found it a little difficult to insert the connector due to the cable rubbing against the surface upon which the T612 was sitting. A slight relocation of the power connector would be helpful.
Employing the universal docking solution developed by Apple adds complete compatibility with the entire Apple iPod and iPhone product lines. However, with only one adapter included, I was forced to use an Apple Universal Dock Adapter I had purchased for use with other devices.
To be fair to Altec Lansing, the documentation indicates that additional adapters should be included in the package. This will indeed improve the overall aesthetic (see pict) as well as the proper seating of the attached device.
A little further refinement of the remote control hardware is needed to improve the way in which the T612 and the attached device interact. When music is playing and the screen on the iPhone has gone to sleep, there seems to be a little glitch that occurs when the play/pause button is pressed for the purpose of pausing the music. Once the button is pressed, the iPhone screen lights up, the music is briefly paused and then continues to play. In order to actually pause the music, the play/pause button must be pressed again. All in all, a minor issue and one that can be easily corrected.
MyMac.com RATING
The Altec Lansing T612 is a beautifully designed audio system that produces an excellent tonal quality that rivals many of its more expensive competitors in the category. With the acknowledgment of a few minor issues that could be improved to make this great system even better, we give the T612 a toe tapping 4.5 out of 5 in our MyMac.com Rating System .

Internet Explorer is a web browser developed by Microsoft and is bundled with its Windows operating system. It has a very old history where the first version was released in 1995 with Windows 95. Currently, the latest release is Internet Explorer 11 which was released a couple of months ago in September 2014. While Internet Explorer is targeted only for Windows operating system, Microsoft does not provide setups for Linux and Unix operating systems. The product is available in about 95 different languages. The product is proprietary to Microsoft and hence is not open source. Internet Explorer supports many standards including HTML 4, HTML 5, CSS, XML and DOM. In the past, like in 2003, Internet Explorer was the world's most widely used web browser where the percentage was even over 80%. By today with the advent of many browsers such as Firefox and Chrome now it has dropped to the third place of about just 10% usage according statistics from W3counter.
The user interface on Internet Explorer is much simpler and cleaner and tallies with the interface of the Windows operating system. It not only acts as the browser but also provides the user interface to FTP giving the user with operations similar to Windows Explorer. Also, Internet Explorer provides certain features in the Windows operating system such as Windows update. Currently features such as tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking , private browsing, synchronization and download manager are available even though it was a bit late to introduce them when compared to Firefox.
The settings on Internet Explorer are fully configurable via group policy and this is a unique feature. Add-ons such as Flash Player, Microsoft silver light which are also known as ActiveX can be installed to give more capabilities to the browser. Though Internet Explorer is a web browser with all up to date features, the greatest issue is the performance. For example according to Six Revision's performance tests, in all aspects, the performance of Internet Explorer is worse than other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome.
Firefox is a free and open source web browser which is developed by Mozilla foundation with contributions from the community. It has a history of about 12 years where the initial release was done in September 2002. The most recent version is Firefox 33. Currently, Firefox can run in a variety of different platforms including Windows, Linux, OS X, Android, Firefox OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. An important feature in Firefox is tabbed browsing where the user can visit multiple websites at the same time and navigate them via tabs. The latest Firefox versions support a feature called tabbed grouping where custom grouping of opened tabs is possible to identify them easily. Also related to bookmarks are two features as live bookmarks and smart bookmarks. A download manager is inbuilt where multiple downloads are possible with the facility to pause and continue stopped downloads. A powerful inbuilt PDF viewer that provides features such as thumbnails, page navigation is also available. The feature called private browsing lets users browse without saving information about pages visited and queries searched.
Firefox is hugely localized where currently it is available in about 80 different languages. Another advantage of Firefox is the ability to customize it as necessary as the user wishes.
What is the difference between Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox 33?
• Internet explorer is developed by Microsoft while Firefox is developed by Mozilla with the support from the community.
• Internet Explorer is a proprietary software but Firefox is an open source software.
• Internet Explorer has a very long history where the first version was released in 1995 while Firefox is not that much old where it was released in 2002.
• Internet Explorer is only available for Windows operating system. However, Firefox can be installed on a variety of platforms including windows, Linux, Unix, Free BSD and Mac OS.
• Synchronization of settings, bookmarks and history on Internet Explorer happens via Microsoft Live accounts while in Firefox it happens with an account created especially for Firefox. However, the issue is due to the limitation of Internet Explorer to Windows one cannot synchronize between multiple devices under multiple platforms.
• Since Firefox extensions can be designed by the community it has a wide range of extensions, but for Internet Explorer that much amount of extensions is not available.
• Firefox being an open source software is much more customizable than Internet Explorer.
• Internet Explorer can be configured via Group Policy in Windows, but Firefox does not have this advantage.
• Firefox has an inbuilt pdf viewer that has a lot of capabilities, but on Internet Explorer a pdf viewer is not built in.
• Firefox allows multiple user logins via a technique called profiles to maintain different histories, bookmarks and settings. On Internet Explorer, this is not possible but can be achieved by creating a different windows user account.
• Internet Explorer has Windows Explorer like controls and operations for FTP, but Firefox FTP interface is not as nice as that on Internet Explorer.
• Internet Explorer integrates much better with Windows features such as Windows update, Desktop controls than Firefox.
• In windows operating systems, Internet Explorer is bundled with the operating system, but Firefox has to be separately installed.
• Firefox has a separate bar for search queries while Internet Explorer now has one bar that is used for both searches as well as the web address. However, the address bar in Firefox as well can be used for search queries.
• The default search engine in Firefox is Google, but it is Bing on Internet Explorer.
• In Firefox, a capability called tabbed browsing is available, but this is not there yet on Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer is a proprietary software while Firefox is a free and open source software hence Firefox provides lots of customization capabilities and extensions. Another important advantage in Firefox when compared to Internet Explorer is its performance where in many aspects Firefox has better performance and CPU usage than Internet Explorer. Also, Internet Explorer is only available for Windows where Firefox is available across many platforms. However, Internet Explorer integrates better with Windows features than Firefox.
