Stonks and the Dragon's Den
One day when Stonks was in bed, when a mysterious man appeared at his door step to ask for help to get the dragons treasure he said it was because of his skills that he need Stonks, Stonks said to the mysterious man'' what's in it for me?'' the mysterious man said that it was a mountain off treasure and that he would split the profits with him. The next day Stonks got up and got dressed to set off on his new adventure with his hidden adventurer buddy. While walking to the next destination Stonks asked about the man's name, he said ''it's Damien or at least I think'', Stonks was confused but walked on thinking about what treasures await for him and Damien but the adventure had only just started when they came to a forest.
When in the forest the trees thicken with every step eventually leading to no way back but Damien seemed to know the way to this treasure, Stonks wondered where Damien had come from or at least where his house was because Stonks had never seen him around town (the town is called Dainwood Valley). But then they saw the most horrific thing, the path split to two. However Damien seemed to have a smile on his face when he pulled out a map and on that map was the mountain, the forest and the Dainwood Valley. Damien said that the path on the right was the way to go and soon they would be at the dragon's den.
After several hours they had finally reached the dragon's den where he kept all of his treasured belongings. Stonks had to find an opening to this mountain of a den but he just couldn't until Damien found a small hole in the nest that only Stonks could fit through they waved good luck to each other and Stonks went to face the beast. When Stonks made it inside the dragon appeared small but soon to be learned that was a baby but the mother was not happy about a human being in her den with her babies so as soon as she saw Stonks she attacked but Stonks knew about dragons they had a blind spot like with snakes the are mostly blind in the middle of their face so Stonks avoided the attack of blazing fire and snuck into the blind spot and grabbed as much gold as he could in his pockets (also his duffel bag) and got the heck out of their with a mountain of gold. When Stonks and Damien met up they split the gold and travelled back to Dainwood Valley.

The Pixie and the Easter Bunny
In a tree in a magical forest live a pixie called sally she was very greedy and very mischievous. Just as she was about to get her cereal out of the cupboard she got a fright by 3 hard knocks on the door and dropped the hole bowl of marshmallow pieces on the floor she thought it was urgent so she sprinted to the door. It was the Easter bunny he asked her for a favour she agreed. The favour was to go and find the 2 golden eggs in Susie mountain he said that if you find them they hatch into golden bunny's so she agreed they set off they travelled for many days and nights until they reached jelly tot valley relieved there journey was near to end. But how would they get over sally looked around she had an idea her idea was to climb all the trees so they would get to the other side she asked the Easter bunny how long would it take us to reach the other side his answer was by my calculations 2000 years sally sat down feeling hopeless we will never get across the Easter bunny said don't worry then pulled a pogo stick out of his pouch sally jumped up happily the Easter bunny picked sally up and put her in his pouch and by one hop they were across sally sprinted up the mountain eager to find the golden eggs it was the middle of the night and sally legs were so tired and so were her eyes she saw a cave that only she could fit in so she fell asleep when she woke up there was a really shiny nest there they were the 2 golden eggs she picked them up and ran to the Easter bunny at the bottom of the mountain with his pogo stick they jumped back over the jelly tot valley and all the way home 2 years later sally and her 2 golden bunnies were rich and lived happily ever after.

Henry's brilliant story based on The Garden
Harry was busily digging in the garden when he came across a huge chiselled lump of flint. It looked rough and felt bumpy, as though it had been chipped away. Harry showed his mum, he thought she would be surprised at the size!
"Wow, Harry I think that's an axe head- let's look it up on the computer." Harry's mum was excited and they rushed into the house.
Harry and his mum saw all the pictures of stone- age men and woolly Mammoths. The pictures began to look real- the people started to move, and the Mammoths started running towards them!
The stone-age men shouted to Harry and his mum and beckoned them over. They gave Harry a smooth, grey flint axe head, just like the one he had found. They showed Harry how to cut off a chunk of mammoth-meat and place it in the embers of the glowing, red fire. Harry enjoyed the feast and looked at the cave drawings of the Mammoth hunt that the men were drawing.
Suddenly, a bright light began to shine on Harry's face. Was it the camp fire? No. It was the sun shining through his bedroom window. It had all been a dream.

Layton's Amazing writing inspired by The Garden
Here is Ruby's amazing portal story inspired by her Talk for Writing work.
In a four-bedroom cottage in a small village in Wiltshire, there was a family. This family was like any family, meaning that it was very different to any family. There was the funny one (Tom). The musical one (Emily). And then there was the youngest, Hayley. Hayley tried to be like her siblings (hobby wise). But she hadn't really found her thing, she was always interested in organisation but that wasn't really a hobby.
One day she had an argument with her parents. Hayley always knew her parents loved her and supported her, but this argument was big. After the worst part was over Hayley threatened her parents that she would run away. Her parents had heard this before so they didn't think she would actually do it. Hayley was scared of most things, so she never usually went out of her comfort zone. Hayley thought if she did something she was scared of; it would prove to her parents that she isn't scared of everything. Hayley packed her bag so she could stay in her Grandma's flat and hopefully she wouldn't say anything to her parents. Hayley packed things her parents wouldn't notice were gone until she had left the village; Hayley was going all the way to Bristol by train alone, but her first task was to sneak out of the house. She snuck downstairs and tried the back door. She nearly made it until her dad caught her and said how sorry they were. He took Hayley into his arms, but Hayley was still very angry with her parents and she still wanted to run away, so she played it cool and pretended that she had forgiven them. Hayley felt mean lying to them, but she wouldn't stop now. When Hayley finally got out of the house, she walked to the bus station to get to the train station. But she stopped when she saw something in the corner of her eye. It was bright yellow
Ewan has created his own version of The Game, a story inspired by Jumanji.
Jimmy and Bob went to the library to study. Their teacher had set them work to do; a project about Australia. They started searching for Australia books to do the project.
Jimmy spotted a tatty cardboard box which was on top of the shelf Jimmy said to Bob "come here'' Bob went over to Jimmy to see what he found. On the front cover was a rainforest with loads of dust on it then Bob dusted it down. The writing was embossed and it was in all in capital letters. They wanted to play the game but Jimmy said "no we are supposed to be researching about Australia.'' Bob said "why not it looks fun!'' Jimmy explained "because we need to get on with our work!"
Bob begged Jimmy to play the game, until Jimmy said "go on then but only one round." When they opened the game Jimmy was a toucan and Bob was a brightly coloured parrot. Jimmy rolled a 6 and a 5 Jimmy went to space 11 he read the card and it said "if you don't get two 3's you will be its dinner!!" all of a sudden there was a whirling noise and they got sucked into the game.
Jimmy and Bob landed in a rainforest, it was full of trees. They realised that were being chased by something so they ran as fast as they could. They were running through all the trees, jumping over branches that had fallen to the ground. The boys finally hid behind a tree. Jimmy looked up to find out that it was a toucan and a brightly coloured parrot that had been chasing them! Jimmy whispered to Bob "it is your turn" Bob got two 5 he was disappointed he got a bit angry he wanted to scream but they hat to move because the birds found the two boys. They found a new tree the birds will never find them.
Ewan has created a wonderful piece of artwork to go with his story of The Game.

Midget and the stone bigger than him
One day in Wiltshire midget was taking a walk down the street with his mum and his two brothers
but then at the corner of his eye came a large stone that was pointed. He thought to himself what it could be: an arrowhead for the gods, a mystical jewel or a spear tip for the head of a trident.
After the walk midget took a nap to ease the energy loss of his 3 mile walk.
After waking up the world seemed different as if he was in his dream, he over hears a grand voice over yonder just to find a massive palace right in front of him without realising the same rock that he found on his walk next to him. When he did realise midget knew what he had to do he had to get out of his dream. He walked up to the palace just to find two massive that looked like his brothers.
They spoke out loud and said who may pass is forbidden but the chosen will be aloud... what is your interest? Midget seemed confused and said that he just wanted to get out of this place. The guards saw the rock and said you come quick with that rock. Midget was super confused but followed with he heavy rock. The queen of the dream was his mother but she didn't seem like she was in good shape. The guard took the rock and crushed it into a powder and mixed it with water to heal the queen. She instantly felt better and granted midget his wish to go home.
Midget woke peacefully and went on the same walk to find that rock was gone was it a dream or no?

Henry has created an amazing story based on The Game- he gets stuck in a photocopier! Love it!
It was break time and all the good games were gone. James began rummaging in the recycling for some scrap paper. He dug down to the bottom and pulled out two pictures. He looked more closely- they were pictures of him, but he didn't remember them being taken. How could they have been taken without him knowing? He was just taking them up to the teacher to ask, when he saw some faded brown writing on the back! So he started to take a closer look...
" Please James, please help me I am trapped in the photocopier. Type in
249 to release me."
James thought it was a trick so he ignored it for a bit, but the words kept on popping into his mind. How could anyone be trapped in the photocopier?
The next day at school, James thought to himself that he may as well just do it- even if someone laughed at him for falling for a trick, at least it wouldn't be on his mind any more.
At break time, when he was kept in for not doing his reading, he sneaked cautiously up to the photocopier and quickly typed in the code. He waited. Nothing happened. He felt like an idiot, and turned to go, with a red face.
Suddenly, the photocopier began to whirr and a piece of stained old paper floated to the floor. It read: Thank you James. I won't forget this. He turned over the paper and saw an empty photograph.
The next day there was a new boy in the class. And the boy knew James's name.

What I know about Wiltshire
1.The English conquest of the district now known as Wiltshire began in 552 AD with the victory of Saxon Cynric over the native Britons at Old Sarum, by which the way was opened to Salisbury Plain.
2.Wiltshire is a county in South West England with an area of 3,485 km (1,346 square miles). It is landlocked and borders the counties of Dorset, Somerset, Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. The county town was originally Wilton, after which the county is named, but Wiltshire Council is now based in the county town of Trowbridge. Within the county's boundary are two unitary authority areas, Wiltshire and Swindon, governed respectively by Wiltshire Council and Swindon Borough Council.
3.there are many towns in Wiltshire to many to list even if you want to see all of them then search 'towns in Wiltshire' on google it will list all the towns in Wiltshire.

Obesity may develop when we eat too much, as a result of chronically high insulin levels, not the other way around.
This is the conclusion of a mouse study, which challenges the widespread view that rising insulin is a secondary consequence of obesity and insulin resistance.
The new study helps to solve this chicken-or-the-egg dilemma by showing that animals with persistently lower insulin stay trim even as they indulge themselves on a high-fat, all-you-can-eat buffet.
The findings come as some of the first direct evidence in mammals that circulating insulin itself drives obesity, the researchers said.
The results are also consistent with clinical studies showing that long-term insulin use by people with diabetes tends to come with weight gain, said James Johnson of the University of British Columbia.
"We are very inclined to think of insulin as either good or bad, but it's neither. This doesn't mean anyone should stop taking insulin; there are nuances and ranges at which insulin levels are optimal," Johnson said.
Johnson and his colleagues took advantage of a genetic quirk in mice: that they have two insulin genes. Insulin1 shows up primarily in the pancreas and insulin2 in the brain, in addition to the pancreas. By eliminating insulin2 altogether and varying the number of good copies of insulin1, the researchers produced mice that varied only in their fasting blood insulin levels.
When presented with high-fat food, those with one copy and lower fasting insulin were completely protected from obesity even without any loss of appetite. They also enjoyed lower levels of inflammation and less fat in their livers, too.
Those differences traced to a "reprogramming" of the animals' fat tissue to burn and waste more energy in the form of heat. In other words, the mice had white fat that looked and acted more like the coveted, calorie-burning brown fat most familiar for keeping babies warm.
Johnson said it isn't clear what the findings might mean in the clinic just yet, noting that drugs designed to block insulin have been shown to come with unwanted side effects.
Unfortunately, constant snacking is probably not the answer.
The finding has been reported in Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication.

EMIR – Variation Margin deadline of 1 March 2017
EMIR and its related RTS requires certain parties (FCs and NFC+s) to most uncleared OTC derivatives to exchange variation margin for transactions entered into on or after 1 March 2017 (the "VM Deadline").
The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs – European Banking Authority, European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority) have published a statement confirming that there will be no delay to the VM Deadline.
The ESAs noted that neither they, nor any competent authority, have any formal power to disapply directly applicable EU legal text – for example, by way of a "no-action letter", as was issued on 13 February 2017 by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
From a buy-side perspective, the statement by the ESAs was helpful in some respects insofar as it confirmed that the ESAs are aware of the operational challenges faced by smaller market participants in meeting the EMIR variation margin requirements by the VM Deadline.
On 24 February the Central Bank of Ireland updated its EMIR Q&A to address the VM Deadline. In the updated Q&A, the Central Bank reiterated the statement from the ESAs that it is a legal obligation for in-scope entities to exchange variation margin from 1 March.
The Central Bank's Q&A goes on to state that it "applies a risk-based approach to the supervision of the adequacy of processes adopted by entities" and that all counterparties "are expected to make every effort to move into full compliance at the earliest possible date." The Central Bank's Q&A also states that "while the Central Bank does not expect market participants to unwind or avoid transactions that they would have otherwise entered into, it does expect to see evidence of robust planning to achieve compliance at the earliest possible time for all in-scope transactions entered into from 1 March 2017".

British chemical firm Ineos nears deal to buy Sika assets - Bloomberg News
FILE PHOTO: A logo is pictured in the headquarters of INEOS chemicals company in Rolle
(Reuters) -British chemical firm Ineos is nearing a deal to buy assets being sold by Sika AG to appease antitrust regulators, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
In December, Sika and Germany-based MBCC Group received UK regulatory approval for their 4.5 billion pound ($5.50 billion) merger on the condition they sell a part of the business to address competition concerns.
The deal values the Swiss chemical firm's admixture business at $750 million and could be announced as soon as Monday, the report said.
Ineos beat private equity firms including Cinven, CVC Capital Partners and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R), Bloomberg said.
Ineos, Sika and Cinven declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. CVC Capital Partners and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

Indie film about two British Pakistani girls from Bradford to be screened next week
AN INDEPENDENT feature film shot and set in Bradford will be screened at an iconic city venue next week.
An assailant shot and wounded two people in east Jerusalem on Saturday, Israeli medics said, hours after a Palestinian gunman killed seven outside a synagogue in one of the deadliest such attacks in years.Police said the suspect was "neutralised" following the latest gun attack in the Silwan neighbourhood, just outside Jerusalem's old, walled city.Israel's Magen David Adom emergency response service identified the victims as two men, aged 47 and 23, both with "gunshot wounds to their upper body". It did not identify those involved.Police had earlier announced 42 arrests in connection with Friday's synagogue attack.The mass shooting unfolded as a 21-year-old resident of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem drove up to the synagogue in the Neve Yaakov neighbourhood and opened fire during the Jewish Sabbath.The bloodshed, which unfolded on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marked another dramatic escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.It came a day after one of the deadliest army raids in the occupied West Bank in roughly two decades, as well as rocket fire from militants in the Gaza Strip and Israeli retaliatory air strikes.There have widespread calls to de-escalate the spiralling violence, but tensions are rising.Crowds shouted "Death to Arabs" as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the scene of the synagogue attack late Friday.Palestinians also held spontaneous rallies to celebrate the killings, in Gaza and across the West Bank, including in Ramallah where large crowds swarmed the streets chanting and waving Palestinian flags.Several Arab nations that have ties with Israel-- including Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates -- condemned the synagogue shooting.The Lebanese group Hezbollah, one of Israel's most prominent foes, praised the attack as "heroic", voicing "absolute support for all the steps taken by the Palestinian resistance factions".- Dozens arrested -The gunman at the synagogue was shot dead by police during a shootout that followed a brief car chase after the attack.There has been no indication that he had prior involvement in militant activity or was a member of an established Palestinian armed group."The Jerusalem District Police and border police fighters arrested 42 suspects -- some of them from the terrorist's (immediate) family, relatives and (neighbours)", a police statement said."The police will thoroughly examine the connection between each of the arrested suspects and the terrorist who carried out the attack, as well as the extent of their knowledge and/or involvement," it added.In a separate statement, police said the force had been placed on the "highest level" of alert following the attack.Israel annexed east Jerusalem following the 1967 Six-Day War. Palestinians claim the area as the capital of their future state.Israel's police chief Kobi Shabtai called the shooting "one of the worst attacks (Israel) has encountered in recent years."- Escalating violence -Nine people had been killed Thursday in what Israel described as a "counter-terrorism" operation in the Jenin refugee camp.It was one of the deadliest Israeli army raids in the occupied West Bank since the second intifada, or Palestinian uprising, of 2000 to 2005.Israel said Islamic Jihad operatives were the target.Islamic Jihad and Hamas both vowed to retaliate, later firing several rockets at Israeli territory.Most of the rockets were intercepted by Israeli air defences. The military responded with strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza.There were no injuries reported on either side, but Gaza's armed groups vowed further action.After the synagogue shooting, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said the attack proved "the resistance knows how to find the appropriate response" to Israeli "crimes".Washington had announced Thursday that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken would travel next week to Israel and the Palestinian territories, where he would push for an "end to the cycle of violence".A US State Department spokesman confirmed on Friday that the visit would go ahead and said Blinken would discuss "steps to be taken to de-escalate tensions".At least 26 Israelis and 200 Palestinians were killed across Israel and the Palestinian territories in 2022, the majority in the West Bank, according to an AFP tally from official sources.bs/dv

100 YEARS OF THE HALLE, by C. B. Rees (MacGibbon and Kee, 21s.).
MANCHESTER'S Halle Orches
tra has been in existence fol a hundred years—and is proud of its unbroken record. When the Halle collies to play in London, it is an event-no small triumph of the provinces over the metropolis. C. B. Rees. only recently resigned from the post of Music Press Officer of the B.B.C., got his early. musical education as a young man in Manchester listening to the Halle, and this book. one feels, has been a labour of love. For us it is a valuable historical record.
The early associations of the HaU were solidly German, with Sir Charles Halle, its founder. and after him Hans Richter—two great names of the 19th century. Later, after a series of famous guest conductors. came the mercurial Sir Hamilton Harty. Today, need anyone he told that it is Sir John Barbirolli who is in brilliant command?
Sir John has turned down many an offer in order to remain with the Halle. He loves it. and as he says in his foreword: " Let us praise it with devoted pride and cherish it with jealous zeal."

Not really sure if this is the best method to do it but this works. The data you get back from UDP is in the order as stated in the first post.
Hello PootNoodlez, I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could elaborate further on what you mean by "unpacking the buffer using the [given] string"? Thanks.
Thank you Turn 10 for this incredible feature! I'm used to use dash app on my tablet with my racing sims and now that you brought support makes it so much better, thank you so much!
With this and race regulations it is becoming my most favorite game of all times and I've been racing all my life. Thank you for adding and improving!
I am totally blind and use the Narrator feature on the XBox console.
Right now, I am playing Forza to a limited extent using all the assists in the game. This new data feed could allow some fascinating accessibility add-ons. I'm thinking of an app on a iPhone or on the PC that could output telemetry data using text to speech. Obviously, It couldn't speak all the data as it updates, but certain metrics like speed and rpm could be really helpful.
I know that Microsoft is looking into adding text-to-speech directly into Forza, but it will probably be a while before we see that.
basically, its a telemetry control for dof platforms and dash controllers.
I've been able to use motion with my DoF Reality simulator and it is awesome....love this update!!!
May I start dreaming about support for a buttkicker (and the likes)?
We at SimXperience have been working with the game developers for quite some time now to facilitate proper integration with our AccuForce Professional Grade Steering Systems, SimVibe Tactile Feedback and our Full Motion Racing Simulators.
Just a follow-up / teaser video to show all our products in action with Forza Motorsport 7, including our alternative customizable force feedback option. Tutorials will be made available tomorrow explaining how to get the most of Forza 7 with SimXperience gear. A sincere thanks to the Forza team for making this possible!
*Maybe someday this forum will update my username!
Forza 7 now has three versions (Standard, Deluxe, Ultimate). Do these three versions support udp data output?
I can't see why not, it's just a feature of the game... So, yes 3 versions have it.
Will this allow support for direct drive wheels without having to use adapters to emulate supported wheels.
Glad to announce that Sim Racing Studio Power wind simulator and shaking software and hardware is now fully supporting Forza telemetry.
This already works with Forza EmuWheel. No adapters needed. Visit support chat if you need help (link in my signature).
I'm currently working on an iOS/Android application to show all the data presented so far.
I'll keep you guys up to date when I make any planned releases. I also plan to integrate the UDP backend with a Windows UWP customisable layout.
This is something I would love to have for Forza 7. Thanks you for your initiative on providing the community this future application =) Looking forward to following your work.
But my own application doesn't receive any data,I use my application for live for speed, can receive udp data normally.
I have the same problem, both with my own app and with Sim Racing Studio - it looks like there is just nothing there to capture. Has anyone been successful with capturing the data on port 10001, or with getting Sim Racing Studio to capture the data? If so, what did you do?
If you read the original post carefully, you will see that it says localhost data streaming is not supported. This however is not because Forza chose not to support it, but because UWP apps have certain limitation on Windows.
Anyone got gear indicator to work ?
I use Simdashboard, and unlike just about every other driving sim, the only data that can be derived from the data out function, is Revs, Speed and a couple of pieces of relatively useless information, like Class and PI.
Seems very sub standard.... no real surprise I guess !
No Gear indicator, lap times, position, lap number and so on ...... nada. You really need this very basic data to enable you to turn off all the HUD stuff.
Developer of Simdashboard blames the extreme limitations of Forza 7 output system... and judging from the sophisticated Android displays I get for my other sims, he is undoubrefly correct in this assertion.
PC: i7 7700k, GTX 1080, 960 M.2 NvME, 16GB RAM......Logitech G29, T8HA shifter sequential mode.....Many Jaffa cakes, washed down by Taylors Hot Lava Java..... copious Vaping.
You're being quite unfair. Turn10 haven't released this claiming that this is specifically designed for dashboard apps. In fact they are explicit about this (quote from original post): "The initial data structure is designed specifically for motion sleds. We are working with several peripheral manufacturers and will be adding many more data points in the future." This clearly states the purpose for which the data out was made and also promises to add more stuff in the future.
# f32 TireSlipRatioFrontLeft; // Tire normalized slip ratio, = 0 means 100% grip and |ratio| > 1.0 means loss of grip.
# f32 TireSlipAngleFrontLeft; // Tire normalized slip angle, = 0 means 100% grip and |angle| > 1.0 means loss of grip.
# f32 TireCombinedSlipFrontLeft; // Tire normalized combined slip, = 0 means 100% grip and |slip| > 1.0 means loss of grip.
TireSlipRatioFrontLeft << this is longitudal slip or just spin.
TireSlipAngleFrontLeft << this is lateral tire slip angle (not the same as wheel angle).
TireCombinedSlipFrontLeft; << this is combination of the two above. Although the way they normalize this, it is hard to make sense of this third value.
None of those three show weight distribution, not sure what you mean by "angle of road force on tire", and none of those show fraction of max possible grip. Also, just to be completely clear. None of them show tire load.
TireSlipRatioFrontLeft can be used to calculate Fx, and TireSlipAngleFrontLeft could be used to calculate Fy at pure slip. TireCombinedSlipFrontLeft can be used to calculate the same at combined slip.
TireSlipRatioFrontLeft << this is longitudinal slip or just spin.
Good info. I looked at a dataset and the data for first parameter shows slip in negative sense only for a front wheel (braking) and both senses (-/+) for a rear wheel (brake and traction) on a RWD car, which is much as you would expect. The data for second parameter shows slip in both senses consistent with lateral slip. And you are right in about the third parameter too - its just the root sum of the squares of the other two, so all it really gives us is magnitude of slip (lateral and longitudinal).
The release notes for the July update does not mention any changes to the data out format. This is disappointing, I was hoping that we would see a number of useful values (suggested in this thread) being added. Maybe we'll see them in August?
I've made a few updates to the Python library on GitHub over the past few days. First to fix the missing acceleration parameters in the output when writing out data to a file. Thanks goes to Gryphon962 for reporting that bug! Secondly, to add CSV support for those who prefer to work with data in that format. I also switched the default behaviour so the script starts a new file and writes a row with the names of all columns at the beginning of the file. There's a command line parameter available to have it append to an existing file.
When are we getting more data such as Gear info ?


Akron Children's patients are familiar with the kind of horsepower Petie the Pony brings during his regular visits to the hospital. But on July 30, patients were treated to a different kind of horsepower, thanks to annual visit from Racing for Kids.
After a successful visit in August with veteran IndyCar Series driver Ed Carpenter, Racing for Kids stopped the races and popped in for another visit at Akron Children's Hospital. But this time around, Racing for Kids shook things up and joined forces with Historic Sportscar Racing.
Patients at Akron Children's Hospital were delighted to receive a visit from IndyCar Series veteran driver Ed Carpenter and Fire Hawk through Racing for Kids.

Home Destinations Central America Mexico The Colonial Heartland
Colonial Heartland
OverviewExperiencesHoliday IdeasOur Experts
Many of Mexico's most beautiful colonial cities are located within the historically rich interior of central Mexico. Essentially, the opulent cities of Guanajuato, Morelia and San Miguel de Allende represent the colonial heartlands, founded on the wealth of silver mining.
Each city has its own unique personality but the sheer grandeur of the colonial and baroque architecture is evident throughout the labyrinth of narrow cobble-stoned streets and peaceful tree-shaded plazas, providing a glimpse of the outstanding wealth of this region at the time.
A little more about the Colonial Heartland
There are many other attractions to the colonial heartlands. From late autumn, the trees in the Biosphere Reserve of Michoacan State turn fiery orange in a colourful spectacle announcing the migratory arrival of millions of Monarch butterflies.
Mexico's unique celebration of life and death takes part annually in November. The Day of the Dead festival is celebrated nationally but is particularly renowned at the lakeside town of Patzcuaro and the nearby island of Janitzio which is besiegedd by those honouring their ancestors in a parade of decorated boats, music and dance.

A move has been hatched by central Kenya politicians to position one of their own as the next governor of Nairobi, in what is seen as a step towards reclaiming the region's political supremacy in the Capital.
At least 70 Members of Parliament drawn from the Mt Kenya region and Nairobi, who met in a rare caucus in Nyeri county to discuss various issues affecting the region, gave priority to a bid to unseat Evans Kidero from the City government's pinnacle in the next election.
The MPs yesterday resolved to rally behind Dagoretti South MP Dennis Waweru to run for the Nairobi governor seat in 2017, as they appointed him the chairman of the central Kenya Parliamentary Group.
MPs who attended the one-day retreat at Aberdare Country Club vowed to marshal the support of the Kikuyu, Embu and Meru communities living in Nairobi to vote for the MP whom they touted as the likely Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) candidate for Nairobi governorship.
In the 2013 General Election, ODM's Kidero sailed past lead challenger Ferdinand Waititu of TNA, who was seen to have lost due to a split vote among candidates with roots from Central Kenya.
However, the move by the legislators is expected to evoke interesting developments in Jubilee because Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has declared interest in the seat.
Sonko has been going all out to splash goodies on the City populace, especially in informal settlements, in what is an obvious early campaign that has made many politicians, especially in Nairobi, uncomfortable.
While addressing workers during this year's Labour Day celebrations at Uhuru Park, President Uhuru Kenyatta affirmed that Kidero was still Nairobi's governor despite the philanthropic antics displayed by Sonko.
Speaking during the sidelines of yesterday's retreat, Gichugu MP Njogu Barua said by electing Waweru as their chair the MPs had symbolically given him the support of the region in the bid for the governor's seat.
"MPs from our region have endorsed Waweru as our preferred candidate for this seat. In essence, we are showing our people the way forward when it comes to voting in 2017,'' said Barua. Other sources in the retreat said they were convinced Waweru was a suitable candidate for the job, describing him as "sober and untainted".
The sources intimated that they had, in principal, agreed to rally their communities behind Waweru and at the same time to reach out to other communities under JAP for support.
The move by the MPs comes hot on the heels of the election of Ferdinand Waititu as the MP for Kabete, effectively shifting his political base from Nairobi to Kiambu, where he has stirred political calm by declaring that he will oppose the incumbent governor William Kabogo in 2017.
Waweru agreed that an endorsement by the Mt Kenya communities would give him a head-start in the race. "The fact that MPs from the region have faith in me means I stand a better chance of capturing the seat,'' he said.
Among senators who attended the meeting were Kiraitu Murungi (Meru) and Kimani Wa Matangi (Kiambu). Notable absentee was Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki who was said to have sent an apology. During the two-day retreat the legislators resolved that small parties from the region be merged under JAP to ensure a block vote for President Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto in 2017.
In a statement read to the press by Waweru, the leaders said the only way to ensure re-election of the Jubilee government is to use JAP as the sole vehicle in elections. "We will dialogue with other like-minded parties and leaders to form a strong political vehicle to propel Uhuru and Ruto to win a second term in office,'' said Waweru, adding that the parties would "consolidate their operations, structures and functions".
Kiraitu, who agreed to merge his Alliance Party of Kenya alias 'Bus', said they agreed to meet early to lay out strategies that could win Jubilee a second term. "Unlike before, we have resolved to convene early so as to strategise on how the President and his deputy will retain their seats in 2017.
We want to consolidate our unity in this region before consulting other like-minded parties," said Kiraitu. Among the concerns they raised were unfair budgetary allocations to their counties and high consumption of illicit brews.
They claimed that the 1999 national population census being used to award revenue to counties by the Micah Cheserem-led Commission on Revenue Commission was doctored, thus disadvantaging the region.
"We, as leaders from this region, want to state that we are getting a raw deal when it comes to revenue allocation. How can Turkana get over Sh10 billion while a county like Nyeri receives a mere Sh3 billion? We want our rightful share," said Kieni MP Kanini Kega.

A true blast from the past, this 1987 vintage "Bumbling Boxing" game from Tomy was one of our favorites growing up, and makes the perfect desk toy.
Never opened, we ran across a few of these recently and couldn't help but laugh. Wind 'em up, and let each boxer stumble across the board to knock each other out! Simple. Classic. Fun!
These boxes were stored in a warehouse, and the sets have never been opened or played with (though we did break open the tape to make sure of this). The boxes show a bit of age, but everything inside is just as new as the day they were made. Enjoy feeling like a kid again!


The Alumni League kicks off on Oct 7, and looks set to restore Philadelphia's Basketball Rivalry.
PHILADELPHIA - Sept. 29, 2017 - PRLog -- The Alumni League is about to bring back to Philly, the competitive spirit the city is so well known for. The basketball league is comprised of teams of alumni from Philadelphia area high schools, harking back to the 80s and 90s, and rivalry will be fierce.
Games will initially be held at Nexxt Level Gym in Vorhees for the month of October, then will switch to FiDonce Gymnasium in Philadelphia, run by Eric Evans, who is a new official partner of the league. Player statistics will be tracked, with accumulated statistics tallied and published weekly. Partner of the league Sam Pellom Jr of DASA will be providing all statistical input and analysis. Sponsors have come on board quickly including Moonie Spot of Ralph Brooks Community Basketball League, Carl Wilkerson of Carl Wilkerson Basketball Association (CWBA), well-known venue Manayunk Brewing Company, Dawud Morris of MMBL, and Brian Graves (Philly's Top Police Officer) of Philly Ballers. More sponsors to be announced shortly.
The opening day roster lineup on October 7th is as follows: 1pm Furness vs. Martin Luther King; 2pm Lamberton vs. West Catholic; 3pm Camden vs. Frankford; 4pm Overbrook vs. Strawberry Mansion. Additional teams not listed above will be playing in upcoming weeks and include Bartram and Neuman. Two more teams are expected to be named in the coming weeks, to begin November.
Founder, President and Commissioner, Fahreed Cheatham noted, "The Alumni League was created with a vision to continue the rich tradition of basketball competition for players 30+ in the Philadelphia region. There is an untapped desire amongst many players, to continue to play at a high competitive level, without being pro, well into their 30s and even 40s. The Alumni League seeks to fill that void initially in Philadelphia, and next year expand to other East Coast cities." Cheatham is a Strawberry Mansion alumni himself, as well as being a former college basketball player with Cheyney University, and a former player with Philadelphia Destroyers. He won MVP of American Professional Basketball League (APBL) in 2013 and 2014.
Alumni League's facilities partner Eric Evans, owner of FiDonce Gymnasium, and Cheatham's mentor and teammate at Cheyney University, added "It's very, very good for the community, giving the guys a chance to get back together, tap into some of the camaraderie, giving those who always felt the spirit of competition the opportunity to win bragging rights for who is the best in the city." FiDonce Gymnasium will be the venue for all Alumni League games in Philadelphia beginning November. Evans has been long involved in player development, which began after he finished his own career and took on the task of training and developing his younger brother Tyreke Evans, current NBA player with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The buzz is so strong about the Alumni League, that although the announcement was only made on September 23rd, teams, sponsors and partners have already committed to coming on board in just 4 days, and the list continues to grow. Looking forward to watching the growth and success of the Alumni League.

Car Theft Leads to Jacksonville Airport Shooting and Arrests

An apparent suspicion of auto theft led to a shootout at the rental car return area in the Jacksonville International Airport parking garage on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers located a missing Ford Crown Victoria on Wednesday afternoon and followed the vehicle to the airport's rental car garage.
Jacksonville Sheriff Chief's Tom Hackney said authorities witnessed the car "stopping in an odd position before its driver rammed it into two sheriff's vehicles and escaped the garage by speeding in reverse."
One of the officers, identified as SWAT member Edward Rogers, shot the car three times with his AR-15 rifle as they drove off, said Chief Tom Hackney.
When Rogers opened fire, the vehicle's occupants tried to flee. That's when police shot a 17-year old suspect in the ankle.
The decision to shoot was made because of the danger and intentions of the suspects.
Police told Action News Jax that when officers approached the car, the driver tried to run over police officers. "Their fear of the detectives at the scene was this is a subject that had already attempted to strike two other officers."
"The public safety was at risk. This is a dangerous man -- these detectives felt this enough that they used deadly force," Hackney said. He added it was not clear if those in the car were armed with guns.
Tracking the vehicle led officers to the Monaco Arms II apartment complex near Highlands Elementary School, which was placed on lockdown as a precaution.
The 17-year-old who was shot in the ankle, and a 27-year-old were arrested at the apartments, Hackney said. Their names have not been released.
Police say they are still looking for 20-year-old Rodney Lorenzo Addison, who is wanted in the May 7 car theft in Northwest Jacksonville.
Flights at JIA were not affected by the incident.

Home News Senate rejects $15 Million for UCR School of Medicine
Senate rejects $15 Million for UCR School of Medicine
Colin Markovich
Taken by Leena Butt
The bill, AB 1309, that would have provided $15 million in funding to the School of Medicine at UCR is now effectively dead after failing to pass through a key state Senate committee. Officials at the School of Medicine believe it will not hinder the planned opening of the medical school in 2013.
The School of Medicine had previously planned to admit students in 2012 but did not receive accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the organization in charge of approving medical schools in the United States and Canada. The school has reapplied for accreditation this year in hopes of opening in summer of 2013 and is awaiting a decision to be made next month.
"We felt good about the way the application process went," said Kathy Barton, executive director of Strategic Initiatives at the School of Medicine. The lack of consistent funding had initially stymied plans to open the school in 2012. When asked how UCR would be able to address insufficient funds that may now result from the loss of $15 million, Barton responded, "We had not counted on that [funding]."
"We certainly would have liked to have had [the bill] be approved since it was a one-time $15 million in support for the UCR SOM (School of Medicine)," stated Dean of the School of Medicine Dr. G. Richard Olds. "Having said that, we have raised $100 million in non-state support over the last year and reapplied for accreditation."
AB 1309 was originally introduced by Republican Assemblyman Jeff Miller of Corona as a transportation bill. After passing without a single nay vote in the Assembly, it was amended to its current form. The change resulted in it being placed before the Senate Appropriations Committee—the committee that deals with the allocation of state funds. By a party-line vote of four to two, the Democrats on the committee moved to place the bill on the Suspense File. But because the deadline to consider appropriations bills ended on Sept. 13, it is unlikely that AB 1309 will be taken off the Suspense File and reconsidered.
The funding would have been a one-time allocation from a legal settlement with SCAN, a healthcare plan that allegedly double-billed the state of California, as stated in Senate bill AB 1309.
Both Miller, who is running for a state Senate seat in the Riverside area, and his opponent, Democrat Richard Roth, have emphasized their support for the medical school. In a video statement, Miller expressed dismay at the bill's death, "This is so critical for our community, and with your help I will keep fighting to make sure that the UCR Medical School opens in 2013." Roth has faulted Miller for waiting "until the last months of his term in the state Assembly to do something about the UC Riverside Medical School."
Meanwhile, much of Riverside County continues to be designated as a medically underserved area. The ratio of primary care physicians statewide is one per 847 people; the level in Riverside County is nearly double that at one per 1,576 people, according to a Senate healthcare bill, SB 1416. Executive Administrative Specialist for the School of Medicine Jessica Kump pointed to the potential positive impact of having the medical school in the region, saying, "We are educating physicians that will be part of this economy, serving the public good."
Dr. Olds is optimistic about the accreditation process and stressed the benefit that the school would bring to the Riverside area. "The SOM will have an immediate financial impact on our area, it will have an immediate and long term impact on the physician shortage in our area and it will have the long term impact on the health of our community," stated Olds.

Heavily influenced by his idol Elvis Presley and the 1950s rock revolution and by the American actor Jerry Lewis,he has retained his popularity in Italy for over 50 years, selling millions of records and appearing in numerous TV shows and movies. In the latter respect, he has also been a creator of a comic genre, with his characteristic walking and his facial expressions. For the most part, his films were commercially successful; indeed in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was the king of the Italian box office in low budget movies. As an actor, critics point to Serafino (1968), directed by Pietro Germi, as his best performance.

The topic of Talent Management is a broad, but extremely critical one that can mean a lot of different things to different people. It encompasses attracting, selecting, engaging, developing, and retaining an organization's most important assets – its people. Tired yet? Well, that's just the beginning. Every experience an employee has at work is part of talent management … each team meeting, one-on-one, town hall, or off-site can be a vehicle for leaders and managers to help their people grow, learn something new about each other's goals and connect more deeply with the business. It might seem never ending, but your hard work will pay off. Do it right, and the effect of talent management on successfully executing strategy cannot be underestimated.
Even with the huge array of functions falling under the ever-expansive Talent Management umbrella, I've seen a few themes bubbling to the top. If you want to up your organization's game and successfully navigate the current talent winds, consider focusing on the following in 2015 and beyond.
1) Talent acquisition is a leadership differentiator and leadership expectation – it's not just the job of HR anymore.
Successful organizations are utilizing their leaders to help win the talent acquisition challenge. Today's economy is a candidate's market vs. an organizational market. Top talent is in demand everywhere and organizations are competing for high-caliber employees in ways they haven't had to in the past. Wooing candidates is critical and leaders who take a role in the process are improving the odds and speed at which jobs are filled with the right people. So, this is a shout out to all you leaders out there – you can play an important and impactful role as a liaison or talent chaperone in partnership with candidates and HR. Are you ready?
2) Capability building is closer than ever to business strategy and therefore more and more unique to each organization.
In the "old world," training and development functions looked pretty similar from organization to organization. In today's world, upping the game of existing talent to be more competitive, with the skills and capabilities needed to execute the organization's specific strategy, is morphing what training and development looks like. Most organizations now need to build new skills specific to the strategy they have in place to win in the marketplace. Successful organizations are supplementing their internal efforts with external partners and even rotating business leaders into key training and development roles. To truly stay competitive in today's fluid, fast-paced business world, training and development can be a powerful differentiator for your business. Is that how your leaders view your training programs?
3) Managers are becoming the clear owners of engagement, but most are ill-equipped for the job.
This talent wind is not new, but when are we all going to wake up and really do something about it? We've all seen the studies on the importance of managers in employee engagement and employee retention. However, even in the face of compelling data, most organizations are still falling short of empowering their managers with the skills and knowledge to successfully deliver as "owners of engagement." Here at Root, where engagement is high and the employee promise for it is even higher, I still sometimes struggle to remember the support that our managers need. Working hard to acquire great individual contributor talent can be for naught if these candidates are led by managers who aren't ready to be leaders of engagement. It's simply an equation that doesn't add up to success. Navigating this talent wind requires all of us to come to terms with the role of managers in engaging and developing talent, and make the necessary investments. The successful execution of strategies depends on it.
Here's the reality – boomers and Xers may be in the C-Suite, but they're not the only influencers at play. Understanding what resonates with the incoming workforce – our millennials – is critical to success. We need to connect to what they care about and how they see the world (and your organization). I believe that most of us "get it" from an intellectual perspective, but many leaders (myself included) are still operating with a boomer or Xer mindset and are surprised with the millennial reaction. We have to spend time consciously learning about, reaching out to and connecting with this generation, knowing that engaging our millennials requires a fairly dramatic change in most large organizations. It's time to really get curious about the methods, priorities, and engagement approaches that resonate with millennials. The organizations that do this will ride this talent wind rather than be set back by it.
5) Talent management and social responsibility leaders can benefit from syncing up.
The world is getting smaller every day and employees of all generations are looking for organizations to step up and make things better. Company reputation is increasingly becoming a differentiator in the employee value proposition and an organization's social responsibility efforts provide a meaningful way for employees to connect to or feel connected to the efforts of their organization. When the talent agenda connects with the social responsibility agenda, powerful things for good can happen. Leaders in HR and social responsibility:this is a "to do" for you – get your teams together! Make it a priority for your organization, and your culture and community will reap the benefits.
What additional winds of change are you experiencing in the Talent Landscape? Drop me a note at rwk@rootinc.com, as I'd love to hear feedback and learnings from your own experiences. You might just find your thoughts and opinions included in our next issue (with your permission of course). Talent management is simply way too important to be put on the sidelines, so let's keep the conversation going!

What Global Trade Managers need to know about BREXIT?
By: Krypt Team - August 31st, 2019
Authored by: Vijendra Kargudri
BREXIT is acronym of "BRitish EXIT/BRitain EXIT" from the European Union (EU). On June 23, 2016, United Kingdom (UK) residents voted for an ambitious referendum to leave the EU as they felt the benefits of belonging to the unified monetary body no longer obviated the cost of free movement of immigration. Around 17.4 million UK residents voted in favour of leaving against 15.1 million to stay back.
On March 29, 2017, former UK Prime Minister Theresa May submitted the Article 50 withdrawal notification to the EU. It gave the UK & EU time until March 29, 2019, to negotiate for an agreement. In response, the EU extended the deadline to October 31, 2019.
The Brexit vote has imposed following 3 hard options on the UK:
Leave without a deal, known as "NO-DEAL BREXIT," favoured by the new PM Boris Johnson and his supporters. This could lead to no trade agreement; ports getting blocked and airlines grounded, running short of imported food and drugs.
Vote again on Brexit. Surveys show that the UK would reject Brexit if the referendum were held today. PM Johnson's opposition argue that many voters favouring Brexit did not understand the economic ramification of Brexit. On December 10, 2018, the European Court of Justice ruled that the UK could revoke its Brexit application unilaterally without any other EU body's approval for withdrawal.
Approve May's deal or one like it. The UK doesn't have the economic clout to negotiate for a better one. Johnson has told the EU he refuses to meet unless it agrees to a border between Northern Ireland and the country of Ireland.
In contrast, the Wall Street Journal has analysed a total of 9 possible outcomes!
TRADING BEFORE THE BREXIT
On July 24, 2019, Boris Johnson replaced Theresa May as UK's PM. He promised to execute Brexit by October 31, 2019, DEAL or NO DEAL. It is not merely the EU, but the entire Global Value Chains (GVCs) that will bear the potential impact of Brexit. Over the last 40 years, the UK has had no independent policy on international trade relations. Being a part of the EU, UK's effective trade policy has consensually been the same as for all in the European Council.
Following Brexit, the UK might reject the membership of either the European Economic Area (ECA) or a Customs Union. Under this circumstance, Brexit will manifest into an independent UK trade policy to govern its relations with its suppliers (and customers) around the world. A key reason behind the rejection of a Customs Union is its wish to regain independence on trade policy.
As a part of their 'Global Britain' vision, the UK government has expressed their intention to negotiate Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with a variety of economies – EMERGING (like China, India, Brasil, etc) and DEVELOPED (like US, Australia, NZ, etc) partners. What the shift from the EU trade regime will mean in terms of trade relations with less economically interesting partners, is unknown. This creates huge uncertainty for developing country suppliers relying on existing trade agreements with the EU for access to the UK market.
Such countries will be most vulnerable to policy change due to Brexit. It is critical to understand that trade policy is not just about FTAs. It is also about an entire structure of EU unilateral trade regimes that have evolved over the decades. Till now, the developing countries got special market access preferences and the poorest of them get very high levels of access. In other words, countries categorized as Least Developed Country (LDC) by the UN paid no tariffs on their exports to the EU/UK, whereas countries categorized as Emerging Economy would pay 12%. The LDCs will benefit from a special EU access regime which have ratified and applied a long list of international agreements on everything from ―labour rights to environmental protection (called GSP+).
The continued integration of these LDCs into UK-oriented GVCs post-Brexit requires continued & consistent market access. There is no guarantee that the UK will provide this. It will not be surprising if they abandon their long-standing support for LDCs' integration onto the world economy. There will almost certainly be a UK special access regime for LDCs after Brexit. However, a key question will be the extent to which the UK retains a generous access regime and the current GSP+ regime for LDCs. Existing GVCs have been built over time in response to existing trade regimes and their framing rules. The quicker future policy is clarified, the easier it will be for GVC actors to integrate any changes into their strategies and adapt to the new reality. The UK's Department for International Trade (DIT) is examining possibilities. With so many issues to consider in the post-Brexit landscape, LDCs are concerned that they will not be top priority for UK policy makers.
FUTURE IMPLICATIONS ON TRADING following BREXIT
Many opine that the UK is less reliant on their EU partners than the other way around, due to their strong trading relations with countries like the US, worth around $100 billion annually. The free trade benefits that the UK has enjoyed with the rest of the EU-27 will likely change as they might impose value-added taxes and duties on goods originating from UK. This will reduce much of the currency competitiveness gained by EU firms in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.
The electronics industry in general could benefit from the drop in the pound's value while sourcing expensive components from the UK. While for the pharmaceuticals industry, Brexit presents a scenario of uncertainty for regulatory & market authorization bodies of drugs in the UK. Currently, the UK pharmaceuticals sector is more cost-competitive before imposition of new tariffs and owing to currency favourability.
According to data provided by Harvard University's "Atlas of Economic Complexity", the UK's largest export partner is the United States, which accounts for 11% of the nation's export total. Germany is a close second receiving UK's 10% of exports, Switzerland gets an additional 8%. These three are followed by the Netherlands – 7%, France – 6%, and China – 6% too.
Apart from this, there are other factors that will be considerably affected –
Locations in supply & value chain
Labour associated cost
Direct & Indirect (Customs/Excise Duty, VAT) Taxes
Capital Duty
Trading systems and controls
Labour laws & social security
Regulatory & IP clauses (Privacy/Data protection/IP/EU Trademark/Design registrations/Patents)
And, just hours before this blog got published; on PM Johnson's request the Queen of Britain ordered the suspension of Britain's Parliamentary sessions. These marathon Brexit sessions have been the longest in its last 400 years history. The Queen of Britain is likely to address the country on October 14, 2019, prior to the October 30, 2019 deadline.

Emerging diseases caused by coronaviruses of likely bat origin (e.g., SARS, MERS, SADS, COVID-19) have disrupted global health and economies for two decades. Evidence suggests that some bat SARS-related coronaviruses (SARSr-CoVs) could infect people directly, and that their spillover is more frequent than previously recognized. Each zoonotic spillover of a novel virus represents an opportunity for evolutionary adaptation and further spread; therefore, quantifying the extent of this spillover may help target prevention programs. We derive current range distributions for known bat SARSr-CoV hosts and quantify their overlap with human populations. We then use probabilistic risk assessment and data on human-bat contact, human viral seroprevalence, and antibody duration to estimate that a median of 66,280 people (95% CI: 65,351–67,131) are infected with SARSr-CoVs annually in Southeast Asia. These data on the geography and scale of spillover can be used to target surveillance and prevention programs for potential future bat-CoV emergence. Coronaviruses may spill over from bats to humans. This study uses epidemiological data, species distribution models, and probabilistic risk assessment to map overlap among people and SARSr-CoV bat hosts and estimate how many people are infected with bat-origin SARSr-CoVs in Southeast Asia annually.
