Can You Freeze Crumbl Cookies?
Zein Scott
You can individually cover each cookie in plastic wrap, or you can stack the cookies with parchment paper or wax paper cut into squares placed between them. Cookies can also be frozen on a baking sheet that has been lined (I use parchment paper) until they are absolutely solid, at which point you can package them.
If you've wondered, "Can you freeze crumble cookies?" then you are not alone. Crumble cookies are a popular and easy dessert that can be frozen after baking. These cookies can be frozen and thawed when needed. Before freezing these cookies, you must completely cool them. If possible, place them on a cooling rack to finish cooling faster. Be sure to keep the cookies from sticking to the cooling rack.
How long do Crumble cookies last in the fridge?
When storing crumble cookies, make sure that they are refrigerated. This will keep them fresher longer and prevent them from spoiling. Crumble cookies with no dairy filling are suitable for up to two weeks, while those with dairy filling only last for about a week. Just make sure you store them in an airtight container, so they don't dry out. Also, if you make more than one batch, freeze some.
To ensure that your crumbled cookies stay fresh, you should cut them into fours or eights. Crumbles are best when they're shared with friends and family. So, if you have friends, this is the perfect opportunity to share a batch with them. They also keep well in the fridge for a couple of weeks. You should also store them in the freezer and thaw them when needed.
Crumble cookies are enormous. They're about the size of your palm and super-thick. They can easily be kept in the fridge if covered in plastic wrap. But if you're worried that the crumbled cookies will get soggy, you can always store them in the freezer. Just remember to ensure the cookies are thoroughly wrapped to avoid spoiling. If they don't stay fresh in the freezer, they won't keep well at all.
Crumb cookies will keep well for up to two weeks when stored in the fridge and up to two months in the freezer. Make sure to wrap them tightly to avoid drying out. Once frozen, they can last up to two months, but thawing them at room temperature will prevent them from becoming soft. You can also freeze them for up to three months if you'd like to enjoy them regularly.
If you can't finish the batch, you can freeze them. Make sure to wrap the Crumble cookies in parchment paper before putting them in the freezer. This will prevent them from sticking together. After that, please place them in a freezer bag or airtight container. Then, wait until the cookies are ready to assemble. You can use a spoon or scooper to help with this.
How long do they stay fresh after they are baked?
Crumble cookies are one of the most popular cookie brands on the internet. These ultra-crunchy, dense cookies can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also affordable, costing just a few dollars each. In addition, they can stay fresh for up to two weeks after they are baked! They also make great gifts for family and friends. Read on to learn more about these yummy treats!
Crumble cookies can stay fresh for up to two weeks after they are baked. During the first week, they will be best if eaten soon. They keep well in an airtight container and should be stored at room temperature. If you have many of these cookies, you can freeze them to keep them fresh for a few weeks. If you don't eat them immediately, you can store them in an airtight container for up to five days. Crumble cookies are made by friends and are sold in more than 50 locations across the United States.
The first cookie available at Crumble is the classic chocolate chip. However, you can find several other delicious options, including peanut butter cookies, snickerdoodles, and even chocolate frozen yogurt. The cookie company also has flavors inspired by mango, coconut, and Kentucky butter cakes. No matter how long you buy them, they will still taste great! So, keep a box or two around when you're ready to order your favorite Crumbl flavors.
While the cookie chains are different, they all have a bright open concept that allows customers to watch the team make their delicious cookies daily. The stores are also fun and vibrant, with employees buzzing around the entire store. When they first started in Logan, Utah, they had only one store, but now there are more than 200 locations in 32 states. They even have their website so that you can order their gourmet cookies online.
Crumble cookies are best stored in an airtight container or freezer bag. To store them, use parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. After you have assembled your cookies, you should lightly grease a baking sheet to avoid sticking. When you are ready to serve them, use a spoon to scoop the dough and spread it evenly on the baking sheet. It is best to use a cookie scoop to create a flattened-topped cookie.
Once you have baked the cookies, allow them to cool completely. You can store them in an airtight container, such as a Tupperware jar. If you don't have an airtight jar, you can store the dough in the refrigerator for up to three or five days. When baking your cookies, make sure to follow the directions carefully. This way, you will surely get the best taste from your delicious cookies.
How to thaw frozen Crumble cookies
If you want to eat fresh crumble cookies whenever you like, you should know how to thaw frozen crumble cookies before you reheat them. Crumble cookies are usually airtight, so they stay fresh in the freezer for seven to ten days. You can thaw frozen crumble cookies on the counter or in an airtight container. Then, you can decorate or serve them. You can also reheat frozen crumble cookies in an oven.
Unlike other cookies, Crumble Cookies come in huge packages. And because they're so large, you can freeze them for future use. However, knowing how to thaw frozen crumble cookies is essential. The first step is to spread the cookie, so it doesn't get too big. Then, use parchment paper to wrap the frozen cookie in. After that, place the cookies in a freezer-safe container.
Once your cookies are frozen, you can assemble them as needed. For example, you can use a scooper or spoon to assemble each cookie and lightly grease a baking sheet. Alternatively, you can place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Keep them refrigerated or in a cool place so that they can thaw more quickly. If you haven't made your cookies before, you should wrap them in parchment paper and freeze them for two or three hours.
Once the cookie dough has been frozen, you can store it for up to two weeks or more. Crumble cookies should be stored in a cool place and away from sunlight. During this time, the cookies will remain soft. You can thaw frozen crumble cookies for two to three months, but it's best to thaw them before using them. You can also thaw them in the refrigerator before eating them.
To thaw frozen crumbled cookies, follow the instructions below. To thaw frozen crumble cookies, follow the manufacturer's instructions. You can also use the oven to thaw the cookies if you want to use them sooner. If you don't want to cook them, try freezing them until they reach room temperature. Then, you can reheat them and enjoy them within a few hours.

Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated
Martin Luther King Jr. is shot to death at a hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. A single shot fired by James Earl Ray from over 200 feet away at a nearby motel struck King in the neck. He died an hour later at St. Joseph's Hospital. The death of America's leading civil rights advocate sparked a wave of rioting in the black communities of several cities around the country.
Ray, who had escaped from a Missouri prison almost a year earlier, had used the aliases Eric Galt and John Willard to register in several motels in the Memphis area. He fired a Remington rifle from a bathroom window that looked out onto the hotel balcony where King was standing.
Ray fled to Canada, where he stayed for a month. Meanwhile, the FBI placed him on the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List. After buying a passport under the name Sneyd, Ray traveled to England on May 6. Within a week of arriving in London, he traveled to Lisbon, Portugal, for five days. Back in London, Ray moved from hotel to hotel until authorities finally caught up with him on June 8 at Heathrow Airport.
Ray was a career criminal who was in and out of prison for several small-time robberies. Since he had no known record of political hatred, many suspect that Ray was paid to assassinate King. One factor that has fueled this speculation is that Ray clearly had significant resources during the time between the assassination and his capture.
In any event, Ray pleaded guilty before his scheduled trial began in March 1969 and was sentenced to 99 years in prison. Ray recanted his confession a few months later and insisted on his innocence for years. However, his efforts to secure a new trial were futile, despite the support of members of the King family who were eager to determine if others were involved. Ray died on April 23, 1998.

Newcastle United Foundation, in conjunction with a new initiative called Premier League 4 Sport, has been creating chances for local school children to participate in 4 different sports, one of which is Table Tennis.
Since early 2010 youngsters from schools in Newcastle, Gateshead and North Tyneside have been given an opportunity to try out this indoor racket game.
Lisa Bell who co-ordinates the project on behalf of Newcastle United Foundation said "Working in partnership with the English Table Tennis Association and Cramlington Table Tennis Club the project has set up 4 table tennis satellite clubs to enable youngsters to experience the game, teach them the basic skills and offer a chance to further those skills through the nominated Hub club at Cramlington".
Competition is an important element of any sport and since September 2010 the youngsters at the table tennis satellites have been preparing for an exciting experience that is the Fred Perry Table Tennis Urban Cup, a nationwide Table Tennis team competition aimed at a grassroots level of participation within major towns and inner city areas. The competition is restricted to boys and girls between the ages of 11 to 15.
Newcastle United offers their congratulations to the youngsters and best wishes for their visit to London where they will be competing against the winners from the other 19 Premier League football teams.

Q: How to compare sub-sample mean with the sample mean? I have a dataset with 983 rows and two columns: Rent and Postcode.
The mean Rent for the entire sample (983 rows) is 817.49.
The mean Rent for the N1 postcode (23 rows) is 887.02.
The N1 data is a subset of my entire sample; is it still possible to compare the means? How would I test whether Rent in N1 is significantly higher than average?
The statistical tests I have come across so far either rely on independent samples (I assume these are not independent as one is a subset of another), or dependent samples measured across time (which these are not).

A: You need the average separately for the two groups (N1 and Not N1), and from the information you posted the mean for Not N1 can be calculated as
$$
   \frac{817.4 \cdot 983 - 887.02 \cdot 23}{983-23}.
$$
Then you can use the independent samples t-test (or some other test for independent samples).

As a result of their sophisticated advancements, plus technological and industrial gains both economies benefited from innovation, natural resources and commerce. Establishing Trade The Silk Road Connected China to Rome and other regions China exported silk, iron, and bronze in exchange for gold, linen, cloth, and livestock. Sun Quan and Liu Bei each declared themselves emperors of their respective provinces, setting off what is remembered as the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. Historians often say that the Han dynasty economy can be characterized by a stark contrast of economic prosperity and decline. The people welcomed the new dictator, and enjoyed peace and prosperity. The distinctions between the traditional Chinese and the nomadic peoples became less and less obvious. While Cao Cao was attacking the Yuan clan in northern China, fled south to join Liu Biao and became a vassal under the latter.
The coalition was poorly led, and disorganised. Cao Cao then planned to besiege Ye, but later withdrew his forces after heeding 's advice. With the fall of the Han, it became more of a religion than a philosophy. The period from Emperor Xian's abdication in 220 to the partial reunification of China under the in 265 was known as the era in Chinese history. The morale of Guan Yu's forces fell sharply and his soldiers gradually deserted him until he was left with only about 300 men.
Poor leadership was a major factor in the fall of the Roman Empire. Augustine of Hippo, who had belonged to a Manichaean community but became disillusioned with it. Diocletian retired in 305 C. Earlier Christians had been mostly poor, as it had been to them that the religion appealed. In 189 Emperor Ling died and his son, who was only 13, took over.
Wars between warlords and states continued and China would have to wait around 350 years to be unified again. It is my opinion that the fall of the Roman Empire encompasses both theories. Main article: Towards the end of the reign of r. Edward Gibbon, a prominent scholar of the Enlightenment, wrote a lengthy treatise three volumes of fine print entitled The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Eunuchs turned into an influential group in the bloody political court conflicts, gaining power and enriching themselves and there was a big protest of thousands of members of the Confucian academy against the corruption of the government. When Christianity came into play it.
At one point Attila attacked Rome itself; and would have destroyed it; but the City had been stricken with a plague The Pope met with Attila, and managed to persuade him to stay away because of disease. In the Imperial Han central government, the Emperor is the supreme judge, commander-in- chief, and sole designator and appointer of higher ranks. Intense debate centered on the nature of Jesus, was he God, man, or God and Man. Wang Yun was executed, and the opportunity to restore the Han was lost. Neither you, nor the coeditors you shared it with will be able to recover it again. Both civilizations used a great deal of capital to protect the barriers of their civilizations. However, the emperors after Augustus were not as politically gifted as Augustus.
By the end of their reign, the Romans had conquered almost all of the Mediterranean including parts of present day Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Roman and Han empires equally strived economically in trade. A county was divided into several districts, the latter composed of a group of hamlets, each containing about 100 families. Court officials eventually started a conspiracy against him, led by Minster Wang Yun. On the advice of , Zhang Xiu eventually surrendered to Cao Cao in the winter of 199—200. Still, Dong Zhuo was anxious and chose to move the capital to in the west to avoid the coalition.
To fight this rebellion, in 188, the emperor gave substantial power to provincial governors, who quickly became little more than warlords. By the Edict of Milan, issued in 324 C. It signaled the end of the Ancient World, and the beginning of the Middle Ages. Also, internal struggle amongst the family led to the destruction of the dynasty. These were Germanic people from the East who were migrating West. The Han dynasty's military wasn't as loyal. It was appealed to the majority of the people of the Roman Empire.
In the late 3rd century, Emperor Ling leaned heavily on court eunuchs for guidance, but also gave provincial governors great power to fight peasant rebellions. Both the Han and Roman Empire had centralized governments that were driven by theological and ideological values. Many factors contributed to the fall. Sages promised salvation to those who followed its doctrines and rituals. Comparison and Contrast Essay The Roman and Han empires enjoyed many prosperous years at approximately the same time. Instead of working out a way to help them, taxes were raised to extortionate rates in order to pay for the emperors new garden. Buddhism originated in India, and spread along the silk roads to Southeast Asia.


NAHB Chairman Tom Woods issued the following statement concerning the recent District court rulings in North Dakota, West Virginia and Georgia on the Environmental Protection Agency's rule defining the "waters of the United States" in the Clean Water Act.
"Although the rule will cause harm to all 50 states, the mixed decisions to come out of the various district courts this week only further illustrate the significant issues and confusion caused by the EPA, and the lack of coordination between the agency and its stakeholders in developing this rule. The EPA has misinterpreted which court should even review this rule, leading various courts to disagree on which court has jurisdiction over these cases—which will cause delays while the judicial system figures this out.
"We applaud the District Court of North Dakota for its decision that recognized the damage that the rule may bring to the 13 states that filed in North Dakota and stopped the EPA from implementing it until it can conduct a proper review of the record. The court found that the EPA misinterpreted the Clean Water Act, and the rule likely does not comply with the Supreme Court precedent. Additionally, it found that the EPA has not given the public a fair chance to comment on the rule, and that the final rule would be considered a vast departure from the proposed rule initially seen by the public.

This should be a Thread like the Project: Legend and other projects past my time here. The Goal of this project is to make configs and decks that can hit Rank 5 or more. You can help the community by submiting Decks which you think do well in Ranked.
You can submit by PM or posting in this Thread.
I will update the Thread constantly and try to contribute as much as I can. I will also post Configs, Mulligans and Decklist for each Deck.
Since it is a new Expansion I still need to gather some cards to test out the "new" decks for standard.
If you have any suggestion or think your settings are better I will be pleased to see them and add them in the Thread!
I hope you will contribute to the community with your Decks.
13 users thanked Valorion for this useful post.
I won't put a donation button or something like this in here. I do this for the community. However, if you really want to buy me a beer, tip me some money for the things I do or buy me a subscription for Hearthranger I won't deny your offer ;).
To do that you just need to send me a PM and I will give you my Paypal adress.
Moreover, I don't know if mentioning or adding a donation link is allowed. In case it is not allowed I will obviously remove this.
It's an updated Odd Paladin Deck by MatixoHS. This deck seems simple enough for the Bot to play. Would be nice if someone could do some testings to it.
I cant afford the Shaman deck just yet(new account), so I can't report my results just yet.
EDIT: Just realized you can no longer buy the bot permanent, glad I did that when it was possible lol.
I would wait for more Budget friendly and more up2date Decks.
Odd Paladin should still be solid and more "Standard" friendly.
It depends on whether you like to play Standard or Wild.
Tried it a little bit, have about 46% win rate (EU ranked, rank 15) with approx 50 games.
I have tried it from rank 25. It shines. I reached rank 21 with 78% winrate.
I will run tomorrow longer.
There is no config for this Deck (yet).
I need people to test it out a bit and maybe tell me missplays.
Then we can start talking about configs.
Still need to learn about configs though.
I have reached Rank11 from Rank25. Winrate was almost 70%. Thanks again for sharing!
Can you pm me the Odd Paladin for testing confing with your decklist?
Hey, I got rank 5 on Wild on the EU servers with the wild shaman deck, win rate 53.3%.
Only included the mulligan config file because in aprz512's thread I had seen the some of the configs made missplays.
2 users thanked Athanatos for this useful post.
i will move to use only your mulligan.
ive got 44% (820 games) between rank 20 and 14 with the AI config. i dont know if luck or what but using default got me over rank 16 even to 14, maybe default is a little bit better.
You could share the file you added or all the mulligan thanks.
If you or anyone else could test this deck out, that would be appreciated.
I get Rank 15ish with the Wild Even Shaman.
Jason z's Wild Murloc Paladin can achieve < Rank 10, maybe Rank 5 if you're lucky.

FDW scripts
-----------

This dir contains sql scripts for porting old data dumps stored in mongo to postgres.

The goal is to use live data from old events to test the new postgres schema.
Instead of generating fuzzy data that doesn't match reality, we can use real data!

Using the postgres feature [Foreign data wrappers](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/ddl-foreign-data.html),
an existing mongo database can be queried from postgres, doing all the typical SQL stuff.
So instead of dumping mongo collections, writing ingestion scripts in bash/awk/perl/python,
and importing those into postgres, FDWs let us stay entirely within the realm of SQL.

Installing the wrapper
----------------------

Project: https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/mongo_fdw

NOTE: Mongo 3.4 or below is _REQUIRED_. Initially using Mongo 3.6 (latest) caused
      Postgres crashes on certain queries.

The readme for the `mongo_fdw` project is a little sporadic, and it assumes you
would want to build the underlying driver along with itself. The mongo-c-driver
appears to have solid maintenance in several OS package managers, so I opted to
install the dependencies that way.

The install process on Arch linux resembled the following:

```bash
# Install the C language mongo driver and json lib
sudo pacman -S mongo-c-driver json-c
# Install build dependencies
sudo pacman -S automake make gcc pkg-config

Connect with Mongo from Postgres
--------------------------------

Once the fdw is installed, the sql scripts in this folder can clone from
the Spring 2018 mongodump.

NOTE: It's a good idea to export connection details as environment variables,
      otherwise all of the follow commands will need to be updated with flags
      for your host, user, port, etc.
      See: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-envars.html
      and: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-pgpass.html

```bash
# Setup postgres with the initial schema, unrelated to the foreign mongo tables.
# You may have already done this as part of setting up cyboard.
#psql -f ../001_initialize_schema.up.sq

# Initialize the mongo_fdw extension, and create tables w/ user mappings
psql -f ./init.sql

# Now you can query Mongo from Postgres!
# [local]:5432> SELECT * FROM mgo.teams;

# The mongo collections are available as foreign data tables under the `mgo` schema.
# TABLES: `mgo.challenges`, `mgo.teams`, and `mgo.results`

# Transfer the data out of Mongo into Postgres, adapting to the new schemas
psql -f ./populate.sql

# Now all the data from Mongo is natively available in Postgres, with typed columns and everything.
# [local]:5432> SELECT * FROM team;

# Optionally, remove all the foreign data tables and mongo connections if you
# don't need them anymore
psql -f ./cleanup.sql
```

Making Postgres Backups
-----------------------

Finally, you could save the database w/o the mongo tables, so that you don't need to keep mongo around:

```bash
# Make a compressed backup
pg_dump -f cyboard.dump -Fc

# Develop, make changes, realize you need to roll back to the backup...

# Drop the application's tables
psql -c 'DROP SCHEMA cyboard CASCADE'

# Restore
pg_restore -d cyboard --disable-triggers cyboard.dump
```

Everything should be all set. Happy developing!

Remote searching of your body
Posted on January 25, 2006 by Joe
There is a new tool for remotely searching your body even while you are moving. Haven't these people heard of the 4th Amendment?

New US security device spots weapons under clothes
By Christian Wiessner
At its first public demonstration on Monday in New York, the device was able to detect a mock gun and a bomb replica, which the company said, was similar to that used by Al Qaeda
A new surveillance device using radio waves to look under peoples' clothing for concealed guns, bombs or other weapons may be coming soon to a security checkpoint near you.
But the modest need not worry about screeners sneaking a voyeuristic peek because the system only identifies non-human material tucked inside clothing and does not convey images of the naked form underneath, the maker of the device – Brijot Imaging Systems Inc. of Orlando, Florida – said on Monday.
The BIS-WIDS Prime is the first and only surveillance camera that immediately detects and identifies the exact location of objects hidden beneath a person's clothing while the person is in motion, the company said.
At its first public demonstration on Monday in New York, the device was able to detect a mock gun and a bomb replica the company said was similar to that used by Al Qaeda.
"The software in the machine itself actually looks at the person, looks at the objects, and actually tells you what it is and, most importantly, where it is on the body," said Brijot Chief Executive Brian Andrew. "It doesn't just go 'bing' like a metal detector. We can identify weapons' shapes."
The device uses computer panels that display images of the body to the security screener, with dark patches marking the location of hidden objects.
The invention was described by company officials as basically a small radio telescope that "sees" radio waves transmitted by the body. If a portion of the body is covered by something underneath clothing, no waves will transmit from that part of the body, raising a red flag to screeners.
"Our bodies radiate radio waves just like a cell phone does, and our camera sees that," Andrew said.
Since when has the 4th Amendment been about voyeurs? It's about preventing a police state. The use of this by the government or under the direction of government on the general public (in a prison situation, sure, that would be appropriate) fails my Jews In The Attic Test in a big way.
I helped design and build a device using similar technology that was intended to guiding a missle on it's terminal descent to take out a tank when I worked at Boeing. I made a simple change in the test unit such that it with the flip of a switch it would track humans instead of a tank. It was rather creepy to have the seeker point at you as you walked across the room.
One way to defeat it is to create lots of false positives. A sheet of aluminum foil will block these emissions from your body just as a firearm or other object will. Sew them into your coat. Cut them into shapes and make it appear as if you are carrying dozens of guns, drop them into the coat pockets of others, and put them into books and magazines in airport stores.

RF jamming might be another available counter measure. Either way, they'll end up making a law against interfering or otherwise obstructing government surveillance methods. You'll get arrested for carrying aluminum foil with that intent.
A market niche will of course then arise for weapons that look innocuous to the detectors. These weapons will of course be illegal, but since regular weapons would presumably be illegal also, that wouldn't be a factor.
Joe on January 25, 2006 at 3:38 pm said:
The "law against interfering" is the reason you put them in books, magazines, and coat pockets of random people. If enough "grannies" of the world and others that are obviously innocent of messing with "security" get caught then it makes it impossible to enforce.
And besides, you can more easily get gun parts through security in your carry-on luggage than on your body. Unless you have small enough pieces they can be hidden in body cavities or under a roll of fat.
As with the existing technology the only people that will caught carrying defensive tools on board will those that are innocent of ill intent.

Volvo Plans Massive Autonomous Driving Project, Will Include Plug-in Cars
AutonomousElectric CarNissanPlug-in HybridTeslaVolvo
Not to be outdone by Japanese automaker Nissan and its self-driving LEAF, Volvo announced yesterday that it plans to launch a massive self-driving pilot project in the Swedish city of Gothenburg next year. As you'd expect, plug-in cars are expected to play a part.
Volvo's self-driving fleet will be on the roads by 2017, and will likely include plug-ins too.
Called the 'Drive Me' project and backed by the Swedish government, the research and development project is due to kick off next year with an initial consultation and design phase which will examine customer's attitudes towards self-driving cars as well as develop the software and IT framework needed to commence a 100-car autonomous test-fleet trail by 2017.
Like other automakers investing in self-driving technology, Volvo sees autonomous car technology as a way of improving safety and reducing emissions. That's something Volvo is so confident of that it has set itself a lofty goal: Vision 2020 — the concept that no-one is killed or seriously injured in a Volvo car by 2020, and that its entire range is zero emissions.
For the first three years of its Drive Me project, Volvo won't be letting huge numbers of autonomous cars out on the public road. Instead, it will use the time to develop and refine its own self-driving technology, which we understand will utilise cloud-based services to help keep car occupants and other road users safe at all times. But don't think that means Volvo is starting from scratch, because it isn't.
Volvo's SATRE road train project — the precursor to Drive Me — involved a line of autonomous cars following a set distance behind a lead vehicle without any input from the cars' drivers, proved Volvo already has the technology to provide basic autonomous driving. Further still, many aspects of self-driving technology — like radar-assisted cruise control, lane departure warning systems, pedestrian and cyclist detection and steer assist — are already available across the Volvo range.
We talked to Volvo this week, and was told that while initial prototype Drive Me cars will use Volvo's recently-released range of Drive-E diesel and gasoline four-cylinder, low emission engines, electric drivetrains will follow, since it follows Volvo's goal of a future of zero tailpipe emissions. Moreover, Volvo's Drive-E engine range — which will power Volvo's next generation of passenger cars — have all been designed to work alongside an electric motor in a hybrid or plug-in hybrid arrangement, so expect Volvo's Drive Me project to include at least some plug-in cars.
Volvo says the research project will study both the societal and economic benefits of autonomous vehicles through improved traffic flow, safety and fuel efficiency, as well as consumers' attitude toward autonomous technology. It will also pay close attention to infrastructure requirements for autonomous driving and investigate how the general public respond and interact smoothly with a self-driving car.
But perhaps the biggest challenge — and one Volvo may find easier with close support from the Swedish government — is a legislative one. With self-driving cars come a whole new field of legislative questions: who's at fault if an autonomous car is involved in an accident? Can the cars drive without a human inside? Who pays for parking fines, or traffic violations? What if a car goes wrong?
All these questions will inevitably slow down the evolution of the self-driving car. But with Volvo, Nissan, Tesla and many other automakers now publicly developing self-driving technology for future models, we think a future where the car — not you — does the driving is inevitable.
The question is how long it'll take to arrive.

Q: How to define a static dictionary and access it in Java? How to define a static dictionary and access it in Java.
I do it like this in iOS Swift:
let pairs = [
     "Name1": "Value1",
     "Name2": "Value2"
]

print(pairs["Name1"]) // Value1

How to do something like this in Java?

A: Look at Guavas ImmutableMap for a constant dictionary.
private static final Map<String, String> PAIRS = ImmutableMap.of("Name1", "Value1","Name2", "Value2");

If you have lots of entries you can use the
ImmutableMap.builder()

A: You could initialize the map inside static block, too.
public class YourClass {

  public static final Map<String, String> staticMap = new HashMap<>();

  static {
      staticMap.put("key1", "value1");
      staticMap.put("key2", "value2");
  }

}

A: In Java, you can use the Map interface, and choose that implementation that best fits your needs; like:
Map<String, String> pairs = new HashMap<>();
pairs.put("key1", "value1");
System.out.println("The value would be:" + pairs.get("key1");

You would also want to read about java Collection in general; and look into the corresponding tutorials. When you need a Map that can't be "changed" upon adding the initial elements; you would first populate an ordinary Map object; and then use Collections.unmodifiableMap() afterwards.
Given your comments: Java's "built-in" java.lang.Map is always about a keys/value pairs. If you need more than one value, you would be using something like Map<String, List<String>> for example. Or you can turn to 3rd party libraries, such as Guavas Multimap.

A: A - Explanation
First you have to determine the functionalities of the dictionary you want in an interface. Then you can use simply a HashMap or a Map Implementation in your dictionary implementation. You can store the (word, meaning) pairs in your HashMap.
I've provided both a dictionary interface and an implementation with using the HashMap collection. The demo code and output is as below;
If you want to make the dictionary persistent, then you have to write the contents of the map to a text file.
B - Dictionary Interface
package com.levent.dictionary;

public interface Dictionary {

    void addToDictionary(String word, String meaning);
    void removeWord(String word);
    int count();
    boolean isExist(String word);
    String getMeaning(String word);

}

C - Dictionary Implementation with HashMap
package com.levent.dictionary;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class DictionaryImpl implements Dictionary {

    private int count;
    private Map<String, String> wordMap;

    public DictionaryImpl() {
        count = 0;
        wordMap = new HashMap<>();
    }

    @Override
    public void addToDictionary(String word, String meaning) {
        if(!isExist(word)) {
            wordMap.put(word, meaning);
            count++;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void removeWord(String word) {
        if(isExist(word)) {
            wordMap.remove(word);
            count--;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int count() {
        return count;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isExist(String word) {
        if(wordMap.get(word) != null)
            return true;

        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public String getMeaning(String word) {
        String meaning = null;

        if(isExist(word)) {
            meaning = wordMap.get(word);
        }

        return meaning;
    }

}

D - Dictionary Demo Code
package com.levent.dictionary;

public class DictionaryDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Dictionary dict = new DictionaryImpl();

        // add word 'gitmek'
        String word = "gitmek";
        boolean isExist = dict.isExist(word);
        System.out.println("\"" + word + "\"" + " is exist in dictionary? : " + isExist );
        System.out.println("dict count: " + dict.count());

        dict.addToDictionary(word, "to go");
        System.out.println("\t" + "\"" + word + "\"" + " added to dictionary");

        isExist = dict.isExist(word);
        System.out.println("\"" + word + "\"" + " is exist in dictionary? : " + isExist );
        System.out.println("\"" + word + "\"" + ": " + dict.getMeaning(word));
        System.out.println("dict count: " + dict.count());

        System.out.println("\n*************************\n");

        // add word 'gelmek'
        word = "gelmek";
        isExist = dict.isExist(word);
        System.out.println("\"" + word + "\"" + " is exist in dictionary? : " + isExist );
        System.out.println("dict count: " + dict.count());

        dict.addToDictionary(word, "to come");
        System.out.println("\t" + "\"" + word + "\"" + " added to dictionary");

        isExist = dict.isExist(word);
        System.out.println("\"" + word + "\"" + " is exist in dictionary? : " + isExist );
        System.out.println("\"" + word + "\"" + ": " + dict.getMeaning(word));
        System.out.println("dict count: " + dict.count());

        System.out.println("\n*************************\n");

        // remove word 'gitmek'
        word = "gitmek";
        dict.removeWord(word);
        System.out.println("\t" + "\"" + word + "\"" + " removed from dictionary");

        isExist = dict.isExist(word);
        System.out.println("\"" + word + "\"" + " is exist in dictionary? : " + isExist );
        System.out.println("dict count: " + dict.count());
    }

}

E - Demo Output
"gitmek" is exist in dictionary? : false
dict count: 0
    "gitmek" added to dictionary
"gitmek" is exist in dictionary? : true
"gitmek": to go
dict count: 1

*************************

Q: Clean URL Re-Writing for PHP at IIS Server I am a php developer and I need your help.
I have a website and I want my all cleaned URL come at my index.php file
I have done this in .htaccess but this file is now working in IIS server :(
What I Wants
If a user hits "xyz.com/1" or "xyz.com/2" then this will call my index.php file under "xyz.com"
Problem is that IIS server show me "/1" or "/2" is not exists.
I want ia a number passed after my URL it will call my index.php
If passed any string like '/user' or '/manager' this will look into directory.
I listen a file web.config. Even I have tried to configure it but when I upload that file this will generate Internal server error :)
Please help me!!

A: Show us the web.config you have now. Or take a look at mine web.config. Mine file will always load index.php unless the called file is a existing file or directory. The file and directory exception is for loading javascript/css/image errors. It will send the rest of the url like /user or /manager to script with $_GET['syst'];
My web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <directoryBrowse enabled="false" />
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="UrlRewrite - DefaultRule">
                   <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                   <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                     <add input="{URL}" pattern="^/index.php" ignoreCase="true" negate="true" />
                     <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                     <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                   </conditions>
                   <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?syst={R:0}" appendQueryString="true"/>
               </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

But also: Check if mod rewrite is installed on your IIS. Otherwise it would not work

A: Thanks Paules,
I have fixed this my self but thanks for this one also :)

Police: Michigan family found dead in apparent 'homicide-suicide'
GARFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A couple and their two young children were found dead in their home on a quiet street in northern Michigan after an apparent "homicide-suicide," authorities said Friday.
State police said a co-worker of Jeffrey Allan Mendenhall asked them to check on him after he missed work for a couple of days and no one could reach him. When troopers reached the home Thursday night in Grand Traverse County's Garfield Township, it was dark and no one responded to knocks. Troopers forced open the door and found the family dead inside.
Authorities identified them as Jeffrey Mendenhall, 54; Tamisha Marie Mendenhall, 34; and their children, 6-year-old Thomas and 3-year-old Olivia.
Lt. Kip Belcher told The Associated Press a cause of death won't be released until autopsies are completed, but that evidence points to homicide-suicide. It wasn't clear yet which parent took part or if both did, Belcher said.
"We've not yet established between the two adults who was responsible for what portion of things," Belcher said, adding that nothing suggested that an accident such as a natural gas leak had befallen them. "Everything that took place inside the home, based on our investigation, indicates intentional activity on the part of the people who occupied the home."
The deaths shocked residents of the neighborhood just south of Traverse City, where mobile homes adorned with flower boxes are clustered beneath towering shade trees. Several said they didn't know the Mendenhall family well but considered them friendly and knew of no problems in their household.
"Nothing like that whatsoever," said Rick Idziak, who lives a few doors away. "We'd see them going up and down the street, the little boy on his bike with the training wheels, got his helmet on, the little girl, very cute. They'd always say hi. ... It's just terrible."
Oscar and Karryann Antoine said nothing seemed out of the ordinary Thursday night until the police arrived.
"I've never heard anybody fighting over there," Oscar Antoine said. "They seemed like a very nice couple."
Another neighbor, Ashleigh Wrona, left a bundle of roses on the front steps of the house, where the door was crisscrossed with yellow police tape. A turtle-shaped sandbox, a tiny basketball hoop with net and other children's toys were clustered in the narrow yard.
"There's been too much of this lately — there's people getting stabbed, there's people getting shot," said Wrona, 19. "This is Traverse City. We're not supposed to have these things happen here. We moved up here from downstate to get away from that."

Kate del Castillo — Sean Penn Screwed Me Over with El Chapo Story
The surprise Rolling Stone interview of El Chapo by Sean Penn that may have lead to the capture of the Mexican drug lord has taken a turn. La actriz Mexicana, Kate del Castillo, was originally going to interview El Chapo with two other men as El Chapo contacted them for a possible "Mexican-Godfather" type movie on his life. Sources say that one of the men told Kate that Sean Penn wanted to come along and Kate felt it might help with the movie project if a big star came along. To her surprise, Penn ended up on the cover on Rolling Stone with an exclusive interview with El Chapo. Now the situation has turned into a she said he said.
Regardless of what actually happened, I think Kate del Castillo got the short end of the stick. For starters, she may have pissed off the cartel which could put her life in danger. Then there are rumors that the Mexican government is trying to go after la actriz because she has information that a Mexican government official helped El Chapo escape the maximum security jail. Obviously the Mexican Goverment will not admit to it and instead está acusando a la actriz of money laundering. Que desmadre!

cutting sarms
SARMS, or selective androgen receptor modulators, are a class of drugs that have same effects to anabolic steroids, but afterward fewer side effects. They are becoming increasingly well-liked in the midst of bodybuilders and athletes, as skillfully as those looking to improve their mammal broadcast or battle the effects of aging. In this article, we will cover everything you obsession to know just about SARMS, including what they are, how they work, and their potential benefits and risks.
SARMS are a class of drugs that bind to androgen receptors in the body, same to how anabolic steroids do. However, unlike anabolic steroids, SARMS are selective in their actions, meaning they unaided point toward specific receptors in sure tissues. This allows them to have similar effects to anabolic steroids, such as increased muscle lump and strength, without the similar level of side effects.
How reach SARMS work?
SARMS bind to androgen receptors in the body, which are found in various tissues, including muscle, bone, and fat. subsequently they bind to these receptors, they mimic the effects of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. This leads to an accrual in muscle lump and strength, as without difficulty as a end in body fat. Additionally, SARMS can as a consequence incite complement bone density, which can be beneficial for people at risk of osteoporosis.
Increased muscle bump and strength: SARMS can support you construct muscle and growth your strength, which can be beneficial for bodybuilders and athletes.
Decreased body fat: SARMS can moreover put up to you lose body fat, which can be beneficial for those looking to attach their instinctive appearance.
Improved bone density: SARMS can support increase bone density, which can be beneficial for people at risk of osteoporosis.
Despite their potential benefits, SARMS after that arrive in imitation of some risks. The most significant risk is that they are not recognized for human use by FDA. Long-term use of SARMS can as a consequence guide to side effects, such as:
Furthermore, SARMS are not well-studied, and the long-term effects of these drugs are not known yet. It is important to remember that SARMS are still considered experimental drugs and that more research is needed to sufficiently understand their effects.
A guide to the exchange Types of SARMS
We will lead you through the stand-in types of SARMS welcoming and what you dependence to know about each one.
Ostarine, also known as MK-2866, is one of the most popular SARMS on the market. It is known for its endowment to mass muscle accumulation and strength, as without difficulty as fade away body fat. It is then used to treat muscle wasting and osteoporosis. Ostarine is considered to be one of the mildest SARMS and is well-tolerated by most people.
Ligandrol, also known as LGD-4033, is different well-liked SARM that is known for its expertise to deposit muscle mass and strength. It is plus used to treat muscle wasting and osteoporosis. Ligandrol is considered to be slightly stronger than Ostarine and may have slightly more side effects.
Andarine, then known as S4, is a SARM that is known for its capability to layer muscle growth and strength, as capably as fall body fat. It is plus used to treat muscle wasting and osteoporosis. Andarine is considered to be one of the stronger SARMS and may have more side effects than Ostarine or Ligandrol.
Testolone, next known as RAD-140, is a SARM that is known for its success to deposit muscle increase and strength. It is as well as used to treat muscle wasting and osteoporosis. Testolone is considered to be one of the strongest SARMS and may have more side effects than further SARMS.
YK-11 is considered to be a new type of SARM, and it is known for its attainment to growth muscle addition and strength. It is in addition to used to treat muscle wasting and osteoporosis. YK-11 is considered to be one of the strongest SARMS and may have more side effects than extra SARMS.
It's important to note that SARMS are still considered experimental drugs and that more research is needed to fully comprehend their effects. Additionally, SARMS are not qualified for human use by FDA and the long-term effects of these drugs are not known yet. If you're later than using SARMS, it's important to consult in the manner of your doctor first and weigh the potential risks and benefits.
The Science of SARMS Dosage: How Much to receive for Maximum Results
it's important to recall that SARMS are nevertheless considered experimental drugs and that more research is needed to sufficiently comprehend their effects. One of the most important aspects of using SARMS is arrangement the proper dosage. In this article, we will dissect the science of SARMS dosage and how much to admit for maximum results.
The optimal dosage for SARMS can correct depending upon the specific type of SARM, as competently as the individual's goals and tolerance. In general, most SARMS are taken at a dosage of 10-30 milligrams (mg) per day. However, some SARMS, such as Testolone (RAD-140) may require far along doses of taking place to 20-30 mg per day. It's important to follow the recommended dosage of the specific SARM you're using and not to exceed it.
It's afterward important to note that SARMS are not certified for human use by FDA. Therefore, there's limited research upon the long-term effects of SARMS, including the effects of high dosages. Additionally, taking too much of a SARM can lead to side effects such as suppression of natural testosterone production, layer in cholesterol levels, and liver toxicity. Therefore, it's important to consult with your doctor since starting any SARM cycle and to monitor your body's greeting to the supplement.
Furthermore, it's important to note that taking SARMS for a long era of mature can lead to suppression of natural testosterone production. Therefore, it's important to cycle SARMS, meaning taking them for a epoch of become old and after that taking a break. Additionally, it's important to decide the timing of your dosage. For example, taking your dosage in the hours of daylight or past your workout can be more operating than taking it at night.
In conclusion, SARMS can be an on the go tool for increasing muscle lump and strength, as competently as decreasing body fat. However, it's important to comprehend the proper dosage for maximum results and to avoid taking too much, which can guide to side effects. It's as well as important to recall that SARMS are nevertheless considered experimental drugs and that more research is needed to adequately understand their effects. It's indispensable to consult later than your doctor before starting any SARM cycle and to monitor your body's salutation to the supplement. Additionally, it's necessary to cycle and mature your dosage to minimize the suppression of natural testosterone production.
One artifice to maximize the results of SARMS is by stacking them, which means combining exchange types of SARMS to achieve specific goals. In this article, we will question the ultimate guide to SARMS stacks and how to maximize your results.
A SARM stack is a concentration of substitute SARMS taken together to attain specific goals. The most common aspire of a SARM stack is to buildup muscle addition and strength, as without difficulty as fall body fat. The most well-liked SARMS stacks include:
Ostarine (MK-2866) and Ligandrol (LGD-4033): This stack is commonly used for bulking and increasing muscle growth and strength.
Ostarine (MK-2866) and Andarine (S4): This stack is commonly used for biting and decreasing body fat.
Ligandrol (LGD-4033) and Testolone (RAD-140): This stack is commonly used for bulking and increasing muscle accumulation and strength.
It's important to note that SARMS are yet considered experimental drugs and that more research is needed to fully comprehend their effects. Additionally, SARMS are not recognized for human use by FDA and the long-term effects of these drugs are not known yet. Therefore, it's important to consult taking into consideration your doctor previously starting any SARM stack and to monitor your body's reply to the supplement.
When creating a SARM stack, it's essential to understand the properties and potential effects of each SARM you're using. For example, Ostarine (MK-2866) is known for its triumph to accrual muscle growth and strength, even if Andarine (S4) is known for its ability to terminate body fat. Combining these two SARMS can present a balanced effect of both muscle gain and fat loss.
Additionally, it's valuable to understand the proper dosage for each SARM in the stack, as capably as the timing of the dosage. For example, taking Ligandrol (LGD-4033) in the daylight or since your workout can be more in action than taking it at night.
Bodybuilding is a sport that requires dedication, discipline, and a proper training and nutrition plan. However, some bodybuilders and athletes are looking for an supplementary edge to assist them get muscle and add up their performance. SARMS, or selective androgen receptor modulators, are a class of drugs that have similar effects to anabolic steroids, but when fewer side effects. They are becoming increasingly well-liked accompanied by bodybuilders and athletes as a artifice to gain muscle and improve performance. In this article, we will study the ultimate guide to using SARMS for bodybuilding and how to get muscle.
SARMS put it on by binding to androgen receptors in the body, which are found in various tissues, including muscle, bone, and fat. considering they bind to these receptors, they mimic the effects of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. This leads to an growth in muscle addition and strength, as without difficulty as a stop in body fat. However, it's important to recall that SARMS are still considered experimental drugs and that more research is needed to sufficiently comprehend their effects. Additionally, SARMS are not recognized for human use by FDA and the long-term effects of these drugs are not known yet.
Ostarine (MK-2866): Ostarine is known for its finishing to accumulation muscle layer and strength, as without difficulty as decline body fat. It's considered to be one of the mildest SARMS and is well-tolerated by most people.
Ligandrol (LGD-4033): Ligandrol is unusual well-liked SARM that is known for its triumph to increase muscle growth and strength. It is considered to be slightly stronger than Ostarine and may have slightly more side effects.
Testolone (RAD-140): Testolone is a SARM that is known for its carrying out to enlargement muscle enlargement and strength. It is considered to be one of the strongest SARMS and may have more side effects than additional SARMS.
When using SARMS for bodybuilding, it's essential to follow a proper training and nutrition plan. A proper training plot should tote up a fascination of weightlifting, cardio, and rest. Additionally, it's indispensable to consume passable protein to withhold muscle growth, as with ease as to get satisfactory carbohydrates and healthy fats to fuel your workouts.

Can We Bring Back Extinct Species? Yes… and No
By Mikael Angelo S. Francisco
Approximately 3,600 years ago, the last of the woolly mammoths took their final steps on the frosty soil of Wrangel Island, 140 km off the Russian coast. A small group of around 500 or so stragglers somehow managed to find their way to that isolated island, subsequently outliving their mainland counterparts by roughly 6,000 years.

Neurodegeneration: An age related issue
Neurodegeneration in different forms has been an increasing health concern worldwide as the population ages and hence it has been attracting the attention of many researchers. Examples of neurodegenerative disorders include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), etc. along with retinal neurodegenerations like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma. AD is irreversible brain disorder occurring due to amyloid plaque formation that is characterized by gradual loss of memory and thinking ability, while PD is a motor system affecting disease involving neuronal death due to Lewy bodies' formation. AMD involves gradual loss of central vision due to death of macular cells of the retina while glaucoma the infamous 'Silent thief of vision', involves increase in the intra-ocular pressure leading to slowly progressing, permanent blindness that begins from the peripheral vision loss. The underlying causes of all these diseases are quite similar like age, oxidative stress, genetic predisposition etc. They all seem quite related to each other with common mechanism of pathogenesis, however, complete understanding of these diseases is still under research. For instance, it is quite well known fact that AD involves β-Amyloid aggregates (plaques) which is the main causative protein in its pathology but role of this protein in ocular disorders like glaucoma is still elusive. β-Amyloid has however, been suggested to be playing an important role in pathogenesis of this ocular disorder by many scientific groups.

Multiple biological effects of conjugated linoleic acid may depend upon its ability to activate a multifunctional mechanism
By Paolo Bergamo and Lucia Treppiccione
The increased awareness of consumers about the link between health and nutrition has driven research (and food industry) to explore the beneficial effects of functional foods (which promote health or prevent diseases). Although it can be affirmed that food contains "functional nutrients", nevertheless, for some of them, dietary indications have changed a lot in the last years. This is the case of milk fat consumption that has been associated, for a long time, with increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia or obesity. However, in some recent studies, it was evidenced that milk and cheese intake reduced the cardiovascular risk, diseased mortality and the strongest protective effects were observed in consumers of whole dairy products (Dehghan, M.et al., Lancet. 2018). Among the beneficial components of milk fats, conjugated linoleic acid, owing to its prevailing healthy effects for humans, has been considered a functional ingredient (Kim, J.H. et al., Annu Rev Food Sci Technol. 2016). Although its beneficial effects have been first demonstrated more than thirty years ago, there is still much interest in investigating its protective efficacy and in understanding the mechanisms underlying its biological activities.

The complex bioactivity of bilirubin in the context of CVD
Yang Yang1, Dongdong Wang1, 2, 3*
Bilirubin, a major pigment in bile with specific antioxidant properties, is a standard serum biomarker of liver function, which has particular toxicity due to irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system. Inexplicably, it is inversely correlated with cardiovascular disease risk. Our group found that unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) decreases macrophage cholesterol efflux and reduces the expression of ATP binding cassette A1 (ABCA1). These novel data underscore the complex bioactivity of bilirubin in the context of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and may encourage further exploration of bilirubin's effect on cholesterol metabolism and transport.

FRANK LEONARD: Rec opportunities abound in Saanich
Greater Victoria's largest municipality has come a long way since 1986
When I first ran for Saanich council in 1986, two of my campaign promises were about recreation: one was to build a pool on the west side of Saanich; and the other was to purchase the 'Racquet Club' in order to secure a sheet of ice on the east side of Saanich.
It seemed to me that having a single pool at Gordon Head Recreation Centre at Lambrick Park was inadequate for such a large municipality. The Racquet Club was threatened at the time and, if closed, would have meant the municipality would only have one sheet of ice at Pearkes Recreation Centre. Now, the facility is owned by the University of Victoria and continues to this day. As for the pool on the west side, Saanich Commonwealth Place serves that purpose today.
Saanich promoted parks and recreation in the 1980s, but might have been a bit too frugal. As our community grew in population, we significantly expanded opportunities for citizens to be active. Where there was a single sheet of ice at Pearkes, the site is now home to two sheets of ice, a library, a new fitness studio, the Blythe Pearkes fieldhouse for activities and exhibitions and Saanich Neighbourhood Place.
Gordon Head Recreation Centre now has an expanded pool, fitness studio, teen space and activity rooms and provides space to Recreation Integration Victoria in Lambrick House. What was a bare bones centre at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre with a tennis bubble now has squash courts, a fitness studio and a beautiful new Arts Centre, hosting the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria.
The 'smart money' was that the pool for the 1994 Commonwealth Games would be built at UVic or in the City of Victoria. But working with then mayor Murray Coell, Saanich council found a way to combine community needs with competitive pools, and Saanich Commonwealth Place is now an incredible success story. It not only features the pools, it contains a library, teen centre, fitness studio and activity spaces.
Parks in Saanich have also changed dramatically. Some didn't even exist in 1986 or were just bare land, such as Beckwith and Brydon parks. Saanich didn't even own Lochside Park in Cordova Bay, even though it had playing fields in use. Now the land is owned by Saanich and includes some excellent baseball and soccer fields. One that I enjoy visiting is Layritz Park, just because of how dramatic the change has been.
Layritz was a bare-bones park with a couple of ball diamonds in 1986 when the Saanich director of recreation took me on a site visit. He walked up to a mound behind the playing fields and said he dreamed that one day it could all be developed for recreation. Today, we have fulfilled that dream, with soccer and baseball fields aplenty.
Trails were simply footpaths through existing parks back then. Now, our trail system connects the entire municipality, with more than 100 kilometres of trails connected by the Centennial Trail network and the Galloping Goose and Lochside trails.
Mount Douglas Park was potentially a crew-cut park – land protected at the top, development along the slopes – but today the entire area has been acquired. More recently, Panama Flats and Haro Woods have been acquired and protected. Senior centres have been added, libraries upgraded and playgrounds are well beyond what were simple swing sets.
Such achievements require significant commitment, resources and money. Saanich councils over the years have endorsed policies that provide a framework for these expansions. Our staff have embraced this as part of our culture and are keen to ensure all citizens have opportunities to lead active lives.
However, none of this is possible without the support of our taxpayers. Parks and recreation is now our third largest budget expense behind police and fire.
A Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan was adopted in March and is consistent with our policy of Saanich being a healthy and active community. We hope this continues to be supported, not only by citizens using our parks, trails and recreation facilities, but through council approving expenditures required to meet this need.
Frank Leonard has been mayor of Saanich since 1996.

Praxair developing presence in both Belgium and Southern Russia
By Rob Cockerill2013-07-05T06:45:00+01:00
A busy period of activity has seen Praxair Inc. expand its presence in both Belgium and Southern Russia, with both developments also coming hot on the heels of the company's acquisition of Dominion Gases.
The company is to build its second air separation plant and extend its pipeline system in the Port of Antwerp (Belgium), the second largest petrochemical enclave in the world after Houston, TX. The new 1,300 tonnes per day plant will increase Praxair's oxygen and nitrogen capacity in the port and expand its business with customers under long-term contracts, including agreements with several leading global companies.
Start-up of the air separation plant is expected in early 2016, with the new plant and pipeline system having the ability to supply oxygen and nitrogen to the majority of chemical companies in the port.
Further east, in Russia, Praxair has acquired Volgograd Oxygen Factory (VOF), a leading producer and distributor of industrial gases in southern Russia. The acquisition significantly strengthens the company's merchant liquid and packaged gas business in the region, and is the latest in a series of investments in Russia that expands Praxair's production and distribution capacity.
VOF is an established leader in the Volgograd region, serving more than 2,000 customers in a variety of industries including steel, aerospace, healthcare and food and beverage. Praxair has invested in four other major projects in Russia, with a combined production capacity greater than 3,500 tons per day of gaseous and liquid oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and argon. In addition, the company acquired Volzhsky Azot in 2012, which included two air separation units and a bulk and packaged gas business located in the Volgograd region.
"The acquisition of VOF is consistent with our business strategy to continue to build production and distribution density in southern Russia," said Todd Skare, president of Praxair Europe.
"We expect to derive immediate synergies with Praxair's newly built air separation plant in Volgograd, as well as the integration of VOF into our existing regional infrastructure. Further, we expect to drive new profitable growth from VOF's large packaged gas presence in the region."
