Lady Gaga Costumes
Rocketing to stardom with "Just Dance" and then sealing her fate with her second single, "Poker Face," Lady Gaga has been a headline maker since 2008. She seems to be full of surprises, in terms of her fashion, music, performance, and just about every other way. And if you're a devoted Little Monster, then put your Paws Up this Halloween with a Lady Gaga costume!
Recreate a Lady Gaga performance in a strapless black and silver sequin dress. This Lady Gaga dress comes with a complementing face mask, to make the look all the more Gaga. It'll be easier getting away with wearing this than with wearing raw meat while out and about this Halloween. Bring out your inner disco queen while in this Lady Gaga dress.
If your favorite Gaga song of her new album is "Hair," then you probably know how important hair is to the Lady. She alternates her wigs as frequently as she changes her look, and that's a lot. She broke out into the music scene with long, stick straight platinum blond hair. The Lady Gaga straight wig with bangs represents one of her most recognizable looks, even if her hair hasn't been that way for years. Wearing this Lady Gaga wig would be like going retro for Halloween.
Another Lady Gaga hair look that made a splash was featured in the video for her song "Telephone." When Lady Gaga danced in a prison wearing a studded bikini and heels, people couldn't take their eyes off of her hair. Lady Gaga's blond tresses were curled around soda can, a process, Lady Gaga has said, that she learned from her mother for curling hair. The look made haute couture out of the trashy, and will be forever branded in our pop culture conscious. Get the look for yourself with a Lady Gaga soda can wig. You don't have to struggle with twirling your own hair around aluminum cans when you can just put on this Lady Gaga wig.
Gaga is also known for experimenting with colors other than blond for her hair. For the unforgettable performance at the 2009 VMAs in which she sang Paparazzi and then died on stage, she wore her hair curly and with hints of pink. For the 2010 Grammy's her hair was two toned blond and yellow, to go with her inter-gallactic Armani gown. Lady Gaga wigs based on these looks are also available.
It's nearly impossible to keep up with the songstress' fashion adventures, and it would be even more impossible to try to predict what she's up to next, so celebrate one of her more memorable looks with a Lady Gaga costume!


The 2017 Kia Optima PHEV adds plug-in capability and EV-only operation to the Optima hybrid's already well-rounded attributes and agreeable personality. That said, its familiar shape does get a few touches shared with the Optima hybrid that are aimed at reducing drag: a slightly redesigned, model-specific front fascia with active grille shutters that close at speed, a reshaped rear bumper with a diffuser that shrouds the exhaust tip, and a more aerodynamic wheel design.
Roomy in front, quiet ride, nearly transparent hybrid operation.
Small real-world fuel-economy benefit, limited trunk space and rear headroom.
Things take a similar tack beneath the skin, the Optima PHEV sharing its 154-hp, direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four and six-speed automatic transmission with the conventional hybrid. To maximize the efficiency of the gasoline engine in this application, however, Kia swapped in a high-voltage electric oil pump to replace the two (one mechanical pump and one low-voltage electrically driven pump) units used in the hybrid. Cooling for the plug-in's transmission is by means of a liquid-to-air heat exchanger.
A transmission-integrated 67-hp electric motor/generator and a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which is capable of putting out 68 kilowatts (91 horsepower), has more zap than the 51-hp motor and 56-kW battery combo of the regular Optima hybrid. In terms of combined output, this means 202 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque for the plug-in versus 192 and 271 in the hybrid. If these numbers leave you with a case of spec-sheet déjà vu, it's likely because the entire setup is already in use in the 2017 Hyundai Sonata PHEV.
We appreciate how deftly the hybrid powertrain sorts out the particulars of meshing internal combustion with an AC motor. Part of this credit goes to Kia's decision to use a six-speed automatic transmission teamed with the electric motor supplanting a traditional torque converter. Although this setup goes against the prevailing industry practice of employing a two-motor CVT (or power-split transaxle) for hybrid powertrains, the six-speed imparts a welcome sense of familiarity to the hybrid driving experience by downshifting perceptibly under heavy acceleration.
At the test track, the PHEV performed virtually identically to the Optima hybrid. An 8.0-second zero-to-60-mph run and a 16.2-second quarter-mile time put it just 0.1 second behind its plugless—and lighter—hybrid sibling. The plug-in model also registered 0.80 g of grip on the skidpad and took 185 feet to reach a stop from 70 mph, neither of which have us extolling its dynamic virtues, but the 215/55R-17 Kumho Solus TA31 Eco tires at least give plenty of warning via understeer before push comes to wreck. Few details of what's happening at the road surface travel upstream through the synthetic-feeling steering, but responses to inputs at least are linear. Special mention goes to an improved regenerative-braking system that reaps a 10 percent gain in energy recovery by refining the collaboration between the hybrid control unit and the brake actuation. Although this may sound like a recipe for dull and schizophrenic brake-pedal feel, it manages to work reasonably transparently.
According to Kia, the Optima PHEV is 250 pounds heavier than the hybrid. Our scales revealed that the PHEV weighs 3892 pounds, or 252 more than the 3640-pound Optima hybrid. Kia's claimed weight of 3788 pounds for the PHEV may have been a little optimistic, but the company nailed the difference between the two. The Optima PHEV's claim of a 29-mile electric-only range (recommended for urban driving and capable of speeds up to 75 mph) proved not far off from our real-world testing, which yielded 27.1 miles of EV-only operation before the battery gave up.
In addition to choosing either Hybrid or EV-only modes, drivers can select Charging mode, which increases the amount of juice fed to the batteries at higher speeds. This refills the battery as much as possible, saving electrons for when EV-only mode may be desired for the last few miles of a journey. Other energy-saving measures include Kia's Coasting Guide, which uses a blinking icon in the dash and a single audible alert to prompt the driver when to lift and when to brake for maximum efficiency. There's a driver-only HVAC setting that shuts down ventilation and seat heating to all areas of the car except for the driver. Both work as advertised, but the hot, humid weather we experienced during testing made the latter virtually unusable.
Besides the aforementioned powertrain upgrades and exterior streamlining, the PHEV also has an instrument-cluster display detailing powertrain operations and energy usage, plus an enriched set of UVO infotainment features—not to mention the plug-in capability. Connecting one end of the cable to the single port in the Optima's left-front fender and the other to a standard 120-volt household outlet fully charges the battery pack in less than nine hours; hooking up to a 240-volt (Level 2) source cuts that time to less than three. As for the UVO telematics, along with the requisite Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the PHEV adds LTE wireless connectivity that communicates directly with the car via the UVO smartphone app to perform remote functions including start/stop, preconditioning of the cabin temperature, and lock/unlock. Also included in the app are Kia's My Car Zone features, including curfew, speed alerts, and geofencing capabilities, which ought to help helicopter parents keep tabs on their offspring. A charging-station locator and the ability to check your vehicle's charge status and schedule charging sessions are provided as well.
Those looking to enjoy the typical mod cons will want the $5250 Technology package, which consists of a panoramic sunroof, a gloss-black B-pillar, a 10-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support, ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, rear-window sunshades, LED reading lamps, forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, LED headlights, automatic high-beams, rear parking sensors, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. That was the sole option on our test car, and it brought the as-tested price to $41,355.
The most relevant number for the plug-in are its fuel-economy figures, however. EPA-rated at a combined 40 mpg, our Optima hybrid returned 40 MPGe overall with the help of some electrons and 44 MPGe in our 75-mph highway test. Those are respectable figures, but we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that a plugless 2018 Camry hybrid matched them. As previously stated, we did manage to get 27 miles of travel in EV-only mode, which could significantly trim gasoline usage for drivers with short commutes and/or charging facilities at their place of employment. Then again, that battery range pales in comparison to the 53-mile battery-only figure we recorded in the smaller but similarly priced 2017 Chevrolet Volt, let alone the 238-mile marathon we extracted from the batteries of the much smaller Chevy Bolt EV.
But for individuals who reside in certain traffic-heavy urban areas and are still wary of making the leap to a full EV such as the Bolt, that charging port in the Optima's fender may ultimately reap benefits that far outreach any financial arguments or environmental altruism, real or perceived. After all, it grants them legal access to HOV lanes so they can leave behind much of the rush-hour gridlock.
Listed MSRP is for a Optima LX Auto Box base trim with no options. Includes destination fee. Does not include sales tax.

Family Inheritance: Archbishop Carlo Vigano Addresses Dispute with Brother.
By John CDecember 9, 2018 No Comments
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has sought to clarify a court ruling in October which ordered him to pay nearly €2 million of inheritance plus legal fees to his brother, a priest living in Chicago.
In a Dec. 3 statement issued through his lawyers said he had "already willingly paid" the amount to his brother, Father Lorenzo Viganò, and would not be appealing the decision. Archbishop Viganò's lawyers said he was issuing the statement "In light of the recent unfounded news that appeared in multiple newspapers and other media outlets, regarding an alleged conviction for "fraud," "theft" or misappropriation of funds, to the detriment of his brother."
According to media reports, the inheritance has been a cause of contention in their relationship for years, and Father Viganò, a biblical scholar who has lived in Chicago since 2008, has tried to sue over the bequest numerous times. The October ruling was the first time he had succeeded in being rewarded any money.
Archbishop Viganò, who remains in hiding after publishing his testimony against Vatican corruption in August, said in the statement that his brother has been subjecting him to a "judicial siege and a veritable defamation campaign in the press" for over a decade, adding that the priest failed to inform "obliging journalists that the accusations" made against Archbishop Viganò had been "abandoned or dismissed in the 10 civil, criminal, and administrative cases attempted to date."
Both brothers, two of six siblings, jointly held and administered their family's substantial assets worth €20 million plus a cash sum of more than €6 million until Father Viganò left for the United States a decade ago.
The legacy was bequeathed to them by their parents who were "entrepreneurs in the industrial field," according to today's statement. The statement went on to disclose that Father Vigano had made an "initial request" for €40 million which was a "grossly unrealistic figure in respect to the actual value of the entire joint ownership of property of the two brothers."
It added that the Milan court ruling rejected this along with "all the other requests" from Father Viganò, and stated that as a result of the judgment, Father Viganò received "essentially what he would have received had he accepted the settlement proposals made by his brother, pro bono pacis [a concession made solely for the sake of peace], in the course of the proceedings."
The statement also revealed that Archbishop Viganò had allocated most of the inheritance to "works of charity and religion" which include a seminary in Nigeria and a Carmelite monastery in Burundi, "and will continue to do so."
Father Viganò, who began legal proceedings against his brother in 2010 and, according to today's statement, has "refused any mediation from the family," suffered a stroke in 1996 and is confined to a wheelchair.
He has lived in Chicago allegedly without ecclesiastical permission and, according to documentation obtained by the Register, he (or others acting in his name) has refused to respond to repeated attempts by Church officials to communicate with him.

Breaking: Freeman's Sporting Club Closing After Owners Split

Share All sharing options for: Breaking: Freeman's Sporting Club Closing After Owners Split
Image via GQ
Men's clothing and accessories shop Freeman's Sporting Club at Valencia and 18th Street is closing its doors soon, possibly today (the website is still up and running). All employees have been laid off. It looks as if a split between the owners of Freeman's and the F.S.C. Barber Shop next door is to blame for the shuttering—a similar shake up of the pair's businesses in New York went down last week.
Sam Buffa and longtime partner Taavo Somer originally went into business together in New York running F.S.C. Barber together, while Somer ran a restaurant called Freeman's separately. Somer is keeping an NYC haircutting location next door to the former F.S.C. Barber location at 10 Rivington and calling it, simply, Barbershop, while Buffa is recreating F.S.C. in a new location in Lower East Side SOHO called "Fellow Barber," which opened last week.
Stay tuned for what's in store for the San Francisco shops, we'll keep you posted!

Chew Omnivore Edition Volume Four
Rob Guillory
John Layman
North American Publisher / ISBN: Image Comics - 978-1-63215-031-8
Positive minority portrayal?: yes
Categories: Action Thriller, Humour
How weird is Chew? Well, try to name another graphic novel where the line "It wasn't my idea to hack my robotic half-brain into the security system of a top secret super-max government food prison" makes perfect sense in context. And things get weirder, much weirder by the end of this book.
For reasons you'll know if you've read it, Chew's central character Tony Chu spent much of the previous Omnivore Edition out of the spotlight. He's back here, and changed, but his time away highlighted just how skilfully John Layman has introduced new cast members, and how well conceived they've been, able to host entire chapters without us missing Tony at all.
A bigger picture has been lurking behind this world of folk with eccentric food-related powers in which poultry consumption is illegal, and elements introduced in this collection start to indicate that Tony has a significant role to play. He's certainly discovered a previously absent inner fortitude that changes his relationship with some other cast members. Those who've been wondering how it is Tony has a daughter, and why they're estranged, learn the answer here in a tale of two funerals and spontaneous combustion at a fitness class.
Oddly, Tony's return to prominence led to what was the weakest of the original paperback collections to date, Bad Apples. Let it be said that's only by the high standards Layman and Rob Guillory have set. The content originally gathered as Family Recipes is stronger. The focus turns back on the Chu family in general and Layman throws the most ridiculous concepts into the mix in completely convincing fashion.
Among all the hilarity, however, Layman introduces strong emotional content, which is some achievement in a title where one of the threats is a guy whose flatulence potentially equates with the damage caused by a large bomb. Toni Chu features heavily, and we see what she's been planning in order to ensure her brother receives an important message. This involves more Chu family food-based weirdness and confronting a dangerous gangster. Elsewhere the gathering of information and a prison break are the order of the day.
Guillory continues to impress with every page he draws. He loves the series and the characters and this shines through his pages. A specific talent is a fantastic ability for visual design. The Chew cast wear their personalities. You only have to take a look at one of his characters to absorb the essential information about them.
Why buy this expensive hardback when paperback versions are far cheaper? Because this is a series of graphic novels that you can return to and laugh at again and again. Both Layman's plots and Guillory's art are densely layered and there's always something new to pick up on while re-reading.

The world production of natural rubber (NR) experienced a fall at 10.1%, amounting to 1.080 million tonnes in January 2019 on a year-to-year basis, says the latest report from the Malaysia-basedAssociation of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC). It says that this may be "a result from the recent tropical storm reported in the southern part of Thailand, which is the major NR producing province in Thailand".
In contrast, the world demand for NR recorded an increase of 1.3% to 1.151 million tonnes during the same period, according to ANRPC.
ANRPC goes on to say that the "favourable market fundamental sentiments and the price rally in crude oil market have further supported the recovery in NR prices across physical and futures markets in January 2019. Besides that, positive news reported over the trade talks progress between US and China and the determination from OPEC members over their production cut have made the commodities prices stay firmer over this period".

Yesterday, Theresa May delivered a letter to the European Union leaders informing them of the Britain's intention of leaving the political union – Article 50, which starts a 2-year countdown to withdrawal, was triggered. Brexit is underway.
A leaked European parliament report seen by the Guardian accuses Britain of trying to "move the goalposts and do away with the referee" in the impending negotiations with the EU27 nations. This approach is not one that is going down well with other European leaders, especially given Theresa May's. Senior figures in Brussels complained about the prime minister's remarks regarding security, while critics in Westminster also piled in, arguing that the prime minister had issued a "blatant threat" and was treating security as a "bargaining chip" in negotiations. Chancellor, Phillip Hammond has also previously threatened that the United Kingdom could become a tax haven if it wasn't given a favourable deal.
Both sides tend to speak of a "divorce". Divorces are not pretty, and rarely go smoothly. Blows are often exchanged in the most brutal fashion, and I think we can expect as much during the impending negotiations. In fact, the mood is already hostile. A divorce is usually between two equal partners, but in this case it is the best interests of one nation against those of another 27.
We have been told again and again that the UK is going to get a fabulous' cake and eat it' deal and then lots of money will be available for the NHS among other things – we have been promised something that cannot be delivered. Theresa May has already clarified that the NHS will not get any extra funding, never mind the £350 million a day the Leave campaign promised.
So heads turn now to the negotiations which must follow. The Tories are trying their favoured divide and rule tactics, but in their sense of post-imperialistic self-centrism and vainglory they have misjudged the mood of the European Union. It makes no sense for them to give Britain exactly what they want.
May claims she wants security, free trade and liberal values. These are the things that ironically we are about to throw away. She promised a more secure, prosperous, more tolerant land – she will deliver the opposite.
Britain wants to remove itself from the free movement of labour, yet keep access to the single market and tariff-free trade: the EU see's the two as interlinked. The two negotiating positions are completely incompatible. It is not in the EU's interests to give Britain the cake and eat it deal they want. We have not taken back control, we have given it to the remaining 27 nations in the European Union – they will put their interests first.
EU leaders haven't even begun to fight, and the UK is severely deluded about the strength of its negotiating position and about the goodwill it still enjoys in the EU: which is diminishing by the day due to the government's attempted underhand tactics.
One might compare Britain's current position to that of the England football team at a major competition, massively overhyped only to painfully crash out to a minor in the second round. The parallels are uncanny.
'Two fifths of games companies based in the UK are considering relocating out of the country in the wake of Brexit'. 'Lloyd's of London will move jobs to New Brussels office'. These are recent headlines, and countless more have been reported. The EU is more important to multi-national businesses than we are as an isolated nation.
Once Britain has crashed out of the EU with a less than favourable deal, affecting families all over the nation, the red tape that Brexiteers talk about cutting are our employment rights, our right to sick & maternity leave etc – is this what the Leave campaign meant by taking back control? Taking control of ways they can allow businesses to exploit workers?
International action is also needed to address the issues of climate change, withdrawal from the EU, which is better placed than any individual nation to make change and has already for example cleaned up our beaches, may seriously jeopardise this.
The current government has no legitimacy. The manifesto on which David Cameron and friends were elected has been made irrelevant in a completely charged political situation. We are going to be stuck with the effects of their incompetence for generations to come. They are the ones that have caused the rising inequality and feeling of discontent that lead to the result of the referendum, not the EU, and once again scapegoating tactics have worked – the vested interests of the rich and powerful have prevailed.
Reality will bite, and it won't be pretty. Brexit will not deliver the change needed to appease those in the country who felt left behind by the globalised model of capitalism, and hence voted for what they saw as change. If anything it will make their lives harder, they have handed more powers to those whose greed has affected the nation. It will most likely lead to the break up of the United Kingdom, as Scotland agitate and Northern Ireland and Wales hint at moving for independence. Our children, and generations to come, have had the carpet pulled from under their feet.
This is not a game. We are stepping into the unknown, likely taking a self-inflicted downgrade. With all this talk of taking back control, we should be aware of whom we are handing control to – and that should worry every single one of us.
In ten years time, we will likely be staring in a jealous hysteria across the channel at the economy of the EU nations, at their living standards, and we will be wondering how we were stupid enough to walk away from it.

Q: Router Link behavior is broken in Angular2 beta I'd like to highlight the currently active link

After rendering I'm getting a  tag with correct link, which works well.
But also there is additional behavior in this Directive which should add router-link-active class to the anchor in case the href is the same as current location.
The problem is that this doesn't work well.
get isRouteActive(): {
    return this._router.isRouteActive(this._navigationInstruction);
}

Inside _router.IsRouteractive there is current instruction field which should contain the current route components. And that component becomes compared with __navigationInstruction. Actually in case route components are equal - the link is current.
The problem is that current instruction is null. It becomes assigned in:
Router.prototype.commit = function(...)

This function becomes called after Directive is processed.
So this should never work well.

A: I have been doing something like this:

About

This seems to work out well for my main menu here:
http://www.syntaxsuccess.com/angular-2-samples/#/demo/spreadsheet

A: Not sure if this helps your problem with the possible broken router behaviour but this plunker has a good solution to mark other elements with router changes (such as a parent li). The plunker includes a directive: LinkActiveDirective.ts (usage can be seen in Users.ts)
The directive hooks on [linkActive] and listens to router changes. When the router link is active the class becomes active on the element.
Usage is like this:

  Home

Hope it helps.

A: I have a directive that you can use. See Pull-Request https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/6407/files

A: Here https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/6360#event-511390805 it says

Moving angular2-polyfills.js and es6-shim.js below system.js script tag did the trick. Thanks

Louisville's Lamar Jackson wins Heisman Trophy
Published on December 10, 2016 in Sports/Top Headlines by Associated Press
Lamar Jackson leapt over a loaded field of Heisman Trophy contenders early in the season and by the time he slowed down nobody could catch him.
The sensational sophomore quarterback became the first Louisville player to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, beating out preseason favorite Deshaun Watson of Clemson despite some late-season struggles.
Baker Mayfield finished third and Oklahoma teammate and fellow finalist Dede Westbrook was fourth. Michigan's Jabrill Peppers was fifth.
Watson, who finished third in Heisman voting last year, led a stacked group of contenders entering this season that included five of the top seven vote-getters in 2015.
Jackson outdid them all in his first season as Louisville's full-time starter, accounting for 51 touchdowns and averaging 410 yards per game in total offense. He ultimately won going away, with 2,144 points to Watson's 1,524. By percentage of possible points received, Jackson's victory was the sixth largest in Heisman history, and he became the youngest winner at 19 years, 352 days.
Jackson is the first Heisman Trophy winner to play on a team that lost its last two games of the regular season since Tim Brown of Notre Dame in 1987. He's the first to enter the postseason without a chance to win the national title since Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M in 2012.
No matter. Jackson did so much before November it was difficult to deny him the award because of a couple of missteps at the end.
He provided a signature moment against Syracuse, hurdling a defender on his way into the end zone, and then played his best against Louisville's toughest competition.
In a romp over Florida State and a close loss at Clemson, Jackson threw for 511 yards, ran for 308 and accounted for eight touchdowns. After ripping apart Florida State in September, he earned the stamp of approval from his idol, former Virginia Tech and NFL star Mike Vick.
Jackson left that Oct. 1 game in Death Valley as a threat to run away with the Heisman, but losses to Houston and Kentucky, when he committed four turnovers, in late November provided an opportunity for others to sway voters.
Watson made the biggest surge, but ultimately fell short.
Jackson continues a recent trend of breakout stars winning the Heisman. He is the sixth player to win the award as either a redshirt freshman or sophomore, all since 2007, joining Manziel (redshirt freshman), Jameis Winston (redshirt freshman), Mark Ingram (sophomore), Sam Bradford (sophomore) and Tim Tebow (sophomore).
Jackson came to Louisville as a three-star recruit from Boynton Beach High School in Florida. Some colleges were not sold on him as a quarterback, but Jackson was such a dynamic talented Louisville coach Bobby Petrino altered his offense to accommodate Jackson's speed and elusiveness.
Jackson flashed brilliance as a freshman and showed what was to come in the Music City Bowl against Texas A&M. He had 453 total yards and led Louisville to a victory.
Still, with so many well-established stars from Watson and Mayfield to running backs Christian McCaffrey of Stanford, Dalvin Cook of Florida State and Leonard Fournette of LSU, Jackson entered the season without much fanfare.
Just the way he likes it.
Jackson spent this season adjusting to newfound fame, growing into the role of face of the team and trying to stay out of the spotlight. He said he cut down on trips to the mall to avoid the inevitable crowds he drew.
He is about to become even more popular. Especially back in Louisville, where he has another year before he can even consider his next big jump – to the NFL.

The MOD function, short for modulo or modulus, divides numbers in Excel. However, unlike regular division, the MOD function only gives the remainder as an answer. Uses for this function in Excel include combining it with conditional formatting to produce alternate row and column shading, which makes it easier to read large blocks of data.
Note: The information in this article applies to Excel 2019, Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010, and Excel for Mac.
Number is the number being divided and Divisor is the number by which you want to divide the Number argument. The Number argument can be a number entered directly into the function or a cell reference to the location of the data in a worksheet.
If a zero is entered for the Divisor argument.
If a cell reference to a blank cell is entered for the Divisor argument.
Enter data into the cells. To follow along with this tutorial, enter 5 in cell D1 and enter 2 in cell D2.
Select cell E1. This is where the results will display.
Choose Math & Trig to open a drop-down list.
Select MOD to open the Function Arguments dialog box.
In the dialog box, place the cursor in the Number text box.
Select cell D1 on the worksheet.
In the dialog box, place the cursor in the Divisor text box.
Select cell D2 on the worksheet.
Select OK in the dialog box.
The answer 1 appears in cell E1 (5 divided by 2 leaves a remainder of 1).
Select cell E1 to see the complete function, =MOD( D1,D2), in the formula bar above the worksheet.
Since the MOD function only returns the remainder, the integer portion of the division operation (2) is not displayed. To show the integer as part of the answer, use the QUOTIENT function.

Андрей Владимирович Ведищев (род. 22 сентября 1973, Ставрополь) — российский профессиональный баскетболист, игравший на позиции атакующего защитника. С 2003 года — президент ПБК «Локомотив-Кубань».

Биография
Игровую карьеру начинал в Ставрополе. В конце 1990-х годов играл в московском «Спартаке», входил в десятку бомбардиров Суперлиги первых пяти лет существования (1994—1999).

В сезонах 2001—2002 годов играл за «Локомотив» (Минеральные Воды), в составе которого стал бронзовым призёром Суперлиги A и финалистом последнего розыгрыша Кубка Корача. После этого перешёл в московское «Динамо», однако получив предложение возглавить «Локомотив», завершил карьеру. В качестве генерального директора дважды перевозил клуб в другой город: в 2003 году — в Ростов-на-Дону (фактически команда и раньше базировалась в этом городе из-за отсутствия в Минеральных Водах подходящей площадки), а ещё через шесть лет — в Краснодар (при этом превратившись из генерального директора в президента).

В 2011 году окончил МГИМО по специальности «Международный бизнес и деловое администрирование в индустрии спорта». Имеет высшее экономическое образование.

Признаётся достаточно влиятельным баскетбольным функционером. За время деятельности в качестве спортивного менеджера многократно поощрялся Российской федерацией баскетбола и министром спорта В. Л. Мутко. Был награждён высшим ведомственным знаком «Почетный железнодорожник». Активно поддерживает детский и юношеский спорт, в частности на протяжении 12 лет является президентом турнира по баскетболу «Локобаскет — Школьная лига», в котором принимают участие более 180 000 школьников из 18 регионов России.

Женат, отец троих детей.

My friend Melody from Melody's Reading Corner tagged me for the 11 Question Meme and, of course, I couldn't resist participating. It's been so much fun answering Lisa's & Susan's questions.
Being the rule breaker that I am, I am not tagging the required 11 people to answer questions of my own making. Instead, I am appealing to all of you wonderful people. I hope you will answer one or all of them. If you do, you can create your own post or leave your answers to one, two or however many in the comments. And because I was tagged three times for this meme, I divided the eleven questions between each post. That way, I only had to come up with eleven questions and not thirty-three. The first two sets of questions can be found here & here.
1. Who's your idol? It can be anyone and doesn't have to be a celebrity or a public figure.
When I was growing up the song The Greatest Love of All made famous by Whitney Houston took on special meaning to me. Like for so many others, the song became my anthem for many years. Cliche, I know, but true. What made this song stand out to me were the lyrics, particularly the lines about how everyone is "searching for a hero" and yet "I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs," and then "I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow." I have never really had an idol. Not when I was growing up and not now. I have admired many people over the years and certainly they have had qualities I would like to emulate--but never as a whole person.
2. If you could be someone famous, who would you like to be?
As I was thinking of an answer to this question, I realized that I tend to associate famous with wealth--on top of being well known. The first name that popped into my head was James Patterson. He has good business sense and his name on many book covers. Sure, he's a bit controversial, but he's worked hard to turn his name into a trademark and he's helped a lot of new authors off the ground. So while I might not like to be him exactly, I appreciate what he's accomplished and don't think it'd be too bad a gig to have.
More seriously though, but along the same lines, Tom Hanks comes to mind. He's someone I greatly admire. I wouldn't mind walking in his shoes for a week, even. He seems like such an upstanding man, both professionally and personally. He is talented too. That's a great combination.
Ideally, I would be famous as myself. I am not sure how I would accomplish that. Maybe I would be a bestselling author. Or a rock star. Or perhaps a superhero. Yes, I think I like that idea best. Think of all the lives I could save . . .
3. What are your favourite TV shows or movies?
Hmm. I would have to say my favorite movies include Independence Day (yeah, I know), Sleepless in Seattle, Ever After, Lord of the Rings, and Empire of the Sun. I'm a sucker for a good romantic comedy (funny since I don't care for that type of book) and love action flicks. Drama movies have their place in my heart too.
My all time favorite television shows are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, The Wire, and How I Met Your Mother.
4. Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Why?
Such an unfair question! I don't know that I can choose. I loved all of the books. Character and world wise--I love them both equally. Lord of the Rings is such an amazing tale--and world. It has influenced so much of fantasy writing today. Harry Potter and his freinds are more personable--more like you and me--and that is what I love most about Rowling's books.
But for the record, my husband tells me, on good authority, that the Lord of the Rings video games are much better than the Harry Potter games.
5. Popcorn. Sweet or salty? Why?
Definitely salty. Some things just aren't meant to be sweetened.
6. Facebook or Twitter? Why?
I like them both for different reasons. My Facebook page is not book related nor is it any way tied to my blog and Twitter account. It's more for personal stuff--mainly pictures of the baby these days. While I do use Twitter for personal updates and such, I tend to think of it as a less personal venue for communicating. Though, the more I think about it, I like Facebook better for its interactiveness with others. More often than not, anything I post on Twitter goes into a void never to be seen or heard from again.
7. What are your pet peeves?
I once would have said tardiness, but I'm afraid since becoming a mother I am finding it hard to be on time myself. No matter how much I prepare the night before or get up early, I can't seem to make it out the door in a timely fashion. I keep trying though and one of these days I will be back on track!
One of my longstanding pet peeves is one-up-man-ship. It is one thing to commiserate and share experiences with one another. I am all for that. It is another to turn it into a competition of who has it best or worse. Please don't.
I also abhor arrogance in people and get annoyed (and bored) with people who think they are better than everyone else.
Another pet peeve of mine is listening to someone complain over and over about his or her situation with no intention or movement to do something about it. I do my share of whining and complaining about certain things--venting has its place--but there comes a point when enough is enough and a person needs to try to better or change his or her situation instead of just wishing it away.
Oh dear. I sure have a lot of pet peeves, don't I? Better stop here.
8. Where do you like to go on a vacation?
I so rarely get to go anywhere on vacation. Visiting family is always a priority, although I have to say my favorite vacations are the ones in which we go someplace new. My husband and I had such a wonderful time on our roadtrip of the Southwestern U.S. Visiting Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona was a real treat. Nothing compares to the fun we had in Hawaii though. Such a beautiful place!
9. Your most wonderful memories you had last year.
Oh my gosh! I have so many. This past year was crazy. My most wonderful memories: read here.
I love Christmas and everything about it. I love the music, the decorations, the atmosphere, the food, and the spark of generosity and kindness that people show at that time of year. And now I have the added joy of seeing Christmas through my daughter's eyes and sharing my favorite family traditions with her.
11. Finally, I couldn't resist asking a bookish question: Would you read a book which has received lots of hype and positive reviews, even though the storyline isn't what you like to read?
Hype and positive reviews will not stop me from reading a book I want to read, but it might not be enough to convince me to read a book with a storyline that I am not especially interested in. Those reviews would have to be very compelling!
9. What is your first ever memory?
10. How do you decide what book to read next (when you have no reading deadlines to meet and can read whatever you want)?
11. It's your birthday. I've sent you a package. What would you most like to find when you unwrap it?
I answered the same questions, they were pretty good ones. I particularly liked your idol answer. If we could all be famous as ourselves, that would be pretty cool.
Okay... I going to pick one of your questions to answer.
I have two, which happened around the same time so I cannot tell which was first, but the first was me falling into a pond at Central Park and my dad getting a ticket for indecency while I ran around naked while my clothes dried on a tree branch.
The other, which could very well have happened on the same day, was at a diner. I was leaving with my dad and took a dollar off a table thinking it was lost money when in fact it was someone's tip. I gave it back.
I was about 18 months when these events took place.
I thought so too! I enjoyed answering the questions.
I'm with you on the complaining and not doing anything to make things better. That drives me crazy.
Kathy - It can really get to be a bit much after awhile.
You have traveled to so many great places! I would love to visit Hawaii one day! Great answers to these questions!
Heather - There are so many more places I want to go. I hope I am able to someday. Hawaii is beautiful. I hope to go back someday and visit more of the islands.
I enjoyed answering them, Melody! Thanks for asking!
I usually decide on a whim when it comes to books. I may have a book in mind but then when it comes to the time when I've finished a book, I may decide to read another. It all depends on my mood, hehe.
So, so agree with your last pet peeve. I've worked with a lot of people like this. At first I get sucked into their vortex and try to help them but eventually find that I'm wasting time and money and I get angry.
I'm never really sure what my earliest memories are - can I really remember things that happened when I was three or am I just remembering the things that people told me I did? I tend to believe the memories where I just have little images of places or people are more real. Like the house we rented in the Ozarks when I was four or the cabin we stayed in the Black Hills and my mom washing my sister in the sink (again - I must have been about four).
Lisa - Dealing with people like that can be very draining.
I know what you mean about memories. It's hard to know for sure, isn't it? I have memories like that--where I'm not sure if they are my own or just images I've put together based on what others have told me.
These are great questions and I love learning more about you through your answers.
My birthday package would include a book, chocolate and a gift certificate to somewhere that would let me get away for the day (a spa?).
I like your birthday package sounds great!
Some great answers there. I agree with facebook it is more a personal site for me not a bloggers thing and twitter I go through phases with. I love Independence Day movie as well.
How do you decide what book to read next (when you have no reading deadlines to meet and can read whatever you want)?
I am a mood reader and othe factors like how much time/mental capacity (eg busy at work so need something light to read).

I've always been a storyteller but that's not to say I've always been good at it. For the past 15 years I have honed my craft as the founder and editor of a zine, a graduate student of journalism, a staff writer for a small-circulation arts magazine, a senior writer for one of the largest marketing and sales companies in the southeast, a freelance filmmaker and as the lead video producer for both one of the largest state agencies in the nation, and one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation. With each experience, I've polished a lens through which to see the world and today I'm ready for the next chapter.

Never a blunt instrument, content should always be catered.

It is a myth that Washington is wracked with political bickering. When it comes to growing government and piling up debt, the Beltway elites are in full agreement no matter their political label. The Ryan budget "compromise" up for a vote today and tomorrow is a perfect example.


normally, most freezers will accumulate frost . it can't really be helped. however , the amount of frost can be controlled as it is basically a by-product of three things . 1.how often you open the door, 2.how well the door seals, and finally, 3.how well the food is sealed before it is frozen.
Normally, freezers are at 0 degrees. If you have ice cream, shoot for -10 degrees.
Unit is not coming on when come back from defrost.
Cleaned the condensor coils? If not locate the coils either underneath (open both doors and remove the toe kick) or in the rear (remove the back panel). Use a vaccum or long brush to get any dust, hair or debris off these coils. These coils are allowing the refrigerant to cool down and if hair or dust is all over them they cant release the heat efficently. This kind of stuff will insulate the coils and the heat cant escape or release. Otherwise you are dealing with a freon issue. If the unit is running but not cooling correctly anylonger it probably has lost some freon and will continue to lose it. Hopefully this helps.
You will need an ohm meter to check the parts.
Your defrost system has failed.
It is made up of 3 components, 2 of which are located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment.
Remove the rear panel. There is a cooling coil, that has a calrod heating element that runs along it's bottom. As well there is a defrost thermostat ( a small round 1" disk) which is located on the top of the same coil. Both should be checked with an ohm meter to test for continuity. The heater should read no more than 30 ohms, the thermostat ( IT MUST STILL BE COLD BELOW 30 DEGREES) should read zero ohms. Note: The heater rarely fails, the thermostat has a high failure rate.
The third item is a timer, or a solid state adaptive defrost control. Depending on age, and model, it is located , behind the kick plate on the bottom front.
Or, in the fresh food compartment on the roof.
If it is a timer, you can turn the timer shaft when the machine is running until the machine shuts off. With it still turned on, wait 40 minutes.
If the machine turns itself back on, the timer is O.K. if not, the timer is bad, and needs replaced.
If the Main heater checks O.K. and it has a solid state control, then replace the thermostat in the freezer compartment, and the solid state board.
Below is an excellant tutorial on defrost systems.
Believe it or not, this is pretty normal.
Look at the compressor. On it you will see a voltage rating, this is usually on a sticker or metal plate on compressor. Whatever the compressor is rated at is what you need as a power source.
all you need is a head set where you can buy at any computer shop, it is a plug and play type so you won't need any software to install it, all you have to do is plug it the port where there is a sign for mic and eraphone or much better look at the color coding.
The board will not fix the problem if the heater or the hi temp limit is bad. It sounds like the "computer" is not the problem. Have someone come out and diagnose the problem.
I assume there is no manual control for setting temp. so the thermal sensor or control circuit has failed and it is just staying at its maximum. You will probably get more help from the manufacturer but their website is somewhat disjointed; looking for contact info for your product ends at one point and then shifts to their scientific product line.
You will in any case need to have the correct model number at hand since the subject line doesn't sound like your freezer.
the temp should be around 35-40 in the fresh side and below freezing in the freezer. If the probe is positioned wrong then it may not shut off. Does the probe need to be in the freezer compartment?If the freon level is wrong then the freezer may not get cold enough to shut down the control tstat. The low side pressure should be around 5 PSI.
There can be several reasons to it.
1.Dust collection can create such a thing but it does not happen directly you should understand the performance loss with in time.
2.Gas leakeage in the cooling circuit.(You need a technican to correct it)It happens due to corrosion.
4.If this is a no frost appliance not properly closed door.Make the evap blocked.You can unload the appliance.unplug wait for a day then start again.
Frosting up around condensor etc , and the warning light on.
Are you frosting up at the condensor or did you mean the evaporator? If its the condensor then make sure the coils are clean. Still then you will need a tech to look at the seale system. If its the evaporator and the heater is ok then it could be the timer or the terminator on the compressor. Most of the time its the timer.

Case closed on Wash. sky penis: 'I could definitely draw one, that would be easy'
By Alex Halverson, SeattlePI
Updated 12:44 pm PDT, Tuesday, May 14, 2019
Navy aviators composed a penis-shaped piece of sky art Thursday over Okanogan County, Washington.

The Navy released a copy of the investigation into the giant sky penis that graced the skies above Okanogan County in 2017, and the resulting transcript of the in-flight conversation was exactly what you'd expect.
"You should totally try to draw a penis," the cockpit partner, an electronic warfare officer (EWO), said to the pilot of the EA-18G Growler that had taken off from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, according to audio reported on by the Navy Times.
"Dude, that would be so funny," the pilot said after some deliberation on how it could be done.
The sky penis was seen by many on a blue-skied Nov. 16, 2017 afternoon in rural Eastern Washington. Reports by several local media outlets started trickling out that a phallic symbol was emblazoned across the sky. In a couple of hours, it was viral, and of course the complaints came.
RELATED: Navy apologizes to Okanogan students for drawing penis in the sky
A local station, KREM 2, who helped break the news reported of a woman who had snapped pictures and complained about the "obscene" symbol and how she'd have to explain it to her children.
But the internet also found it hilarious and it spawned memes leading up to the Army-Navy college football game.
The rest of the audio, obtained by Navy Times in a Freedom of Information Act request, is a conversation between the pilot and EWO -- both Navy lieutenants -- about how to shape the various parts of the sky penis. There were back-and-forths about certain aspects becoming too large and whether the girth would be an issue.
But amid the expletive-laden interaction between the two, there was a bit of flying prowess shown in how the pilot decided to draw the shape.
"I could basically draw a figure eight and turn around and come back. I'm gonna go down, grab some speed and hopefully get out of the contrail layer so they're not connected to each other," the pilot said early in the conversation.
And there was audio from how he planned to leave his artwork untarnished.
"To get out of this, I'm gonna go like down and to the right," the pilot said. "And we'll come back up over the top and try to take a look at it."
EARLIER: Navy pilots 'draw' penis in sky over Washington
The phallus stayed, and while the two snapped pictures, cackled to themselves and received compliments and laughter from a fellow pilot, they were being captured by the cockpit video recording system, the Navy Times reported.
The Navy apologized soon after, including a letter from Vice Admiral Mike Shoemaker, the commander of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, to the superintendent of the Okanogan School District.
The investigation questioned whether it represented bigger problems regarding command at the station, but ultimately found no concerns, Navy Times reported.
"This was a really bad decision by some really good guys in a really good squadron," one squadron officer statement said in a statement.
The Navy Times reported that disciplinary action for the two remained unknown, though recommendations from the investigator and the pilots' executive officer were for light punishments as their records were otherwise untarnished.

G20 Summit: China Hopes US President Shows Sincerity at Meeting

Published 30 November 2018
China's Foreign Ministry stressed that the Asian country seeks to strengthen trade with the United States on the basis of mutual benefit.
United States' trade war with China and a pending meeting of the two nations have contextualized the gathering of the Group of 20 (G20), which is being held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The high-level summit, whose theme is "Building Consensus for Fair and Sustainable Development," seeks to both foster multilateral cooperation and decrease the global effects of U.S. nationalist unilateralism.
Trump: 'Highly Unlikely' to Stop Raising China Tariffs
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Geng Shuang, when asked how China viewed the G20 summit prospects, responded that the Asian nation has consistently stressed that the essence of China-U.S. trade is mutual benefit and a win-win.
"We hope the U.S. can show sincerity and meet China halfway, to promote a proposal that both countries can accept," Shuang stated.
On the other side, the underlying spirit seems not to be the same. Earlier this week, according to The Diplomat, U.S. President Donald Trump showed a less conciliatory position.
"China has to open up their country to competition from the U.S.," said Trump, who posed that option as the "the only deal that would really be acceptable."
#G20 La guerra comercial entre China y Estados Unidos, y el cambio climático, estrellas de la cumbre argentina https://t.co/9YVOoheNK5
— El Imparcial (@elimparciales) November 23, 2018
"The trade war between China and the United States, and climate change, stars of the Argentine summit.
China hopes to placate the trade war with Trump in the G20... France has been pessimistic about the White House's economic and climatic stances."
President Trump's reasoning is poised to create conflict among the members of the G20, an organization of countries whose economies account for around 85 percent of the world's production and nearly 75 percent of global trade.
Leaders of financial and commodities markets will be closely monitoring the summit's outcome, especially from a planned meeting between President Trump and China's President Xi Jinping Saturday.
The result of such the meeting, however, is far from fixed due to certain developments that could trigger geopolitical sensitivities. Two days before the critical bilateral meeting, U.S. Navy vessels sailed through the South China Sea, near islands that have been claimed by China.
Additionally, on the eve of the G20 summit, China's Foreign Ministry expressed concerns over the agitation maneuver.

Our partnership with the Technology Strategy Board, led by Baljit Dhadda, demonstrates our experience of bringing commercial expertise into the UK's economic growth context. The Technology Strategy Board (TSB) is the 'UK Innovation Agency', they work in priority areas and their support for business-led innovation, are key parts of the Government's industrial strategy. They work across cutting edge SMEs, business, academia and government - supporting innovative projects, reducing risk, creating partnerships, and promoting collaboration, knowledge exchange and open innovation. They have recently created a network of Catapults which are key planks of the government's high-tech manufacturing strategy, utilising Britain's leading strengths in the knowledge economy: Cell Therapy, Connected Digital Economy, Satellite Applications, Future Cities, Transport Systems and Offshore Renewable Energy.
The Catapults are trail-blazing organisations and part of our search role was to convince high-level individuals of their significance, which was not yet fully understood in the market. We placed the Chief Executives for all the six catapults and were able to look at the skills matrix for each vehicle, which differed according to needs of a particular market. Catapults are enabling organisations that will support and enable sectors to respond to social and economic challenges most effectively, and deliver commercial value to those sectors.
Our candidates were hugely diverse, identified by extensive and creative market mapping across blue-chip industry, cutting-edge SMEs, applied academia, infrastructure and major projects, private finance, consultancy and professional services, government and media and the creative industries. Candidates were targeted both for their fit with the relevant field of each Catapult as well as their executive responsibilities as part of the Board. We understand what a balanced, effective Board looks like.
Our challenge was to identify candidates with strong, passionate and visionary leadership style that could drive innovation and shape strategic partnerships, through strategic influencing and facilitation. Our success was, critically, dependent on individuals who had the ability and credibility to lead these Catapults in the public eye, who could deal confidently and assuredly with diverse stakeholders including including companies and researchers in various markets, public sector funders of innovation etc., and establish a future-proof solution framework in some of the most rapidly developing areas of knowledge economy.
Chief Executive, Connected Digital Economy Catapult: The successful candidate was Neil Crockett, who brought a leadership background with the London 2012 (Cisco) as Managing Director of Cisco (UK), British Telecom and WW Operations demonstrating breadth of digital innovation experience across public and private sectors.
Chief Executive, Future Cities Catapult: The successful candidate was Peter Madan with credible leadership profile as the Chief Executive of 'Forum for the Future' where he was responsible for designing and delivering strategy and innovation programmes for international companies such as EDF, Levis, Tesco, and Unilever. He brought a strong track record of advocacy for sustainability, combined with experience across the public, and private sectors that had required working with and at complex stakeholder interface.
Chief Executive, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult: The successful candidate Andrew Jamieson brought strong leadership credibility across a relevant stakeholder interface combined with significant expertise in renewables. With a career spanning over 23 years at Scottish Power he held a number of roles in a wide variety of fields culminating in Policy and Innovation Director. He had extensive management experience in dealing with commercial issues, managing business governance practices, recruiting and managing teams, and communicating and building relationships with external stakeholders including academia, Government and industry.
Chief Executive, Satellite Applications Catapult: We successfully placed Stuart Martin, Partner, and Global Director for Space and Satellite Communications, Logica, who brought evidence of commercial downstream application across multiple markets. With relevant leadership experience in global markets and in collaboration with universities, he understood the space in which the Catapult would operate and undertook a number of ambassadorial roles that brought recognition.
Chief Executive, Transport Systems Catapult: The successful candidate Steve Yianni was previously the Director of Engineering at Network Rail, where he developed and implemented a world class innovation and new product introduction process. He had remarkable leadership credibility in implementation of technology innovation in relevant markets that embraced P & L responsibility, commercial and entrepreneurial ability as well as proven ability to work across a relevant complex stakeholder interface.
We worked closely with all the Catapults to devise a robust and complete recruitment process, advising our client candidly about the market in the public and private sectors and feeding back to them perceptions of the role and the project itself.

Very good but underappreciated.
Justo Roteta | Los Angeles, California United States | 05/17/2006
"The two albums on this CD remain among Teddy's most underappreciated solo recordings but no serious Pendergrass fan should be without them. Why? Both contain some classic TP tracks that should have been major hits and are fine examples of his TP at his soulful best. My only guess about their having been unreleased prior to his near-fatal accident is that they weren't up to the level of the material issued on his first four studio LPs. Revisit them...and love them."


Promotional materials designed for Devastation III: Icon, an educational culminating exhibit.
Devastation III: I-con was a culminating exhibit held last April 7-12, showcasing works based on theories from four sections of the FSTHEOR (Theory in Art and Design) course. I served as the project's managing head as well as the design head for the promotional materials, mainly the exhibit poster and the officers' ID tags.
The title "I-con" was short for "I contrast" or "I-contradict," as the exhibited works tackled different issues and theories such as gender equality, eco art, and cybernetics and exploring through form how they can be related to society. I explored the concept of contrast in the poster design by using black and white against each other.
The class officer ID designs used the same basic elements.

Hurricane Harvey's Severe Flooding Traps Houston Residents, New York First Responders Add Help
By Dory Jackson @dory_jackson
Torrential rain from Hurricane Harvey has caused record and catastrophic flooding in Houston after rampaging the southeast coast of Texas. The tropical storm has killed at least five people and forced widespread evacuations of apartment complexes, the National Weather Service reported Sunday.
Hurricane Harvey, which hit the Texas coast on Friday, has dumped 20 to 30 inches of rain on the Houston area after the 100-mph-winds downed trees and power lines in Corpus Christi and other areas along the Texas coast.
"This appears to be either the worst or one of the worst floods Houston has ever had. We are measuring it not in inches but in feet," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said on "Face the Nation."
"As you probably have seen, there are countless water rescues. Our first and foremost focus at this particular time is saving lives. And so we are working on as many water rescues as we possibly can and trying to find ways to get people out of harm's way."
Hurricane Harvey's flooding is expected to continue for days, according to reports, with rainfall amounts potentially reaching between 40-50 inches. With the possibility of tornadoes on the horizon, it could result in one of the most damaging U.S. natural disasters in years, prompting relief efforts from around the country.
The New York Fire Department and New York Police Department has sent a task force to Houston to help Harvey victims. The task force being deployed to Houston comes bearing food, supplies and tools to aid the residents. The NYFD posted information about its task force on Facebook Sunday, saying, "We are set to stage in San Antonio and we're going to await orders depending on the severity of the damage. We are set up for all types of rescues."
New York, which was ravaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, has stepped up emergency teams to aid Texas.
"New York City is sending 120 emergency personnel to Texas to assist in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote on Twitter Sunday. "The FDNY's Incident Management Team and our Urban Search and Rescue Rapid Response Team will assist authorities on the ground.
De Blasio added: "After Superstorm Sandy, so many cities stepped up to help our people. We'll do all we can to help those affected by this storm."

Florida will also send a rescue team to the scene, as the Fire Department in Orlando tweeted about its relief efforts Friday. The organization wrote, "Our Florida Task Force 4 — Urban Search and Rescue team is ready when needed to deploy to help with those impacted by #HurricaneHarvey."
Florida's Harvey relief task force also includes firefighters from the Orange County Fire Rescue and the Seminole County Fire Department, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner had asked the Red Cross to open two shelters in wake of the tropical storm.
"Opening shelters for Houstonians is the next step in calm care for our city as we face the prospect of several days of heavy rain," Turner said in a press release. "We want to assure people who live in flood prone areas, as well our most vulnerable residents, that resources will be available if they need them.
"With the experience of the American Red Cross on our side, we will continue to muster every available resource to protect all residents as much as possible from this very unpredictable threat."
The Red Cross will reportedly open a third shelter soon at an unconfirmed location and is also seeking monetary and blood donations.
