Battle for Manila Bay: Another Rushed Rehab
CMFR
Volunteers flock the baywalk along Roxas Boulevard in Manila for the Manila Bay cleanup on February 2.
GARBAGE ALONG the baywalk may have been removed, but the stench remains.
Following the rehabilitation of Boracay island last year, the government set its eyes on Manila Bay as its new rehab project with the Environment Departmentleading the task. The so-called Battle for Manila Bay, a three-phase and possibly seven-year project, kicked off Sunday, January 27, with hundreds joining a solidarity walk along Roxas Boulevard in Manila.
The clean-up that day yielded 11 truckloads of garbage. Social media showed up photos of the acclaimed cleaner Manila Bay.
Media noted the worthiness of the project. No one can question the effort to restore what was one the pride of the metropolis. Reports must go into the immensity of the challenge and not be satisfied with the obvious — crowds milling at what had been done so far.
So far, government has not provided detailed information about the projects long-term plan and budget breakdown; so media should look into more than just the cleanup of the shoreline. Swimming is still banned, making obvious that the work has not gone deeper than surface waters. Reports should turn public attention to the different parts of the Manila Bay project so the public can appreciate the immensity of the undertaking
CMFR cheers Rappler for noting the complexity which caused the degradation of the bay, pointing to the need of a solid and coordinated plan for its rehabilitation.
Rapplers report Manila Bay Rehab: High Hopes, Murky Plans on February 5 is rich with information and reference. It described the pollution as but the tip of more multidimensional problems of Manila referring to clogged waterways, lack of proper housing for informal settlers, and poverty.
Rappler recalled that the government had tapped Maynilad, a private company providing water and waste water services, to manage Manilas sewage system.
The coverage of Maynilads concession areas has reached only 20% since its operations in 1997. The report went on to detail the high costs of sewage facilities and even more expensive tertiary level treatment facilities.
Rappler also examined the data on poverty incidence and found that Manilas is the highest among the cities in the National Capital Region, with the poorest located in its Port Area. With the rehab in full swing, there are no clear plans for the relocation of informal settlers. In fact, such plans to relocate settlers on waterways leading to Manila Bay have been in place since 2013. The strategy, however, has been unsuccessful.
It has taken decades of neglect to create a cesspool out of a magnificent body of water. No quick solution can clean it up and reclaim its natural bounty and beauty. Media coverage should be the first to scrutinize the way an administration takes on such showcase projects.
The Manila Bay is bigger than Boracay, but the lessons are similar. And media coverage of either endeavour should move beyond cheering; to the more difficult assessment of how well or poorly the work has been done.

Teen stabbed, set on fire, run over in West Chicago; 3 charged
By John Garcia
WEST CHICAGO, Ill. (WLS) -- Three people have been charged after prosecutors said a man was stabbed, set on fire and run over in West Chicago on Monday.
DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said Tia Brewer, 16, and Franciso Alvarado, met with the victim, Luis Guerrero, 18, near the West Chicago Library and stabbed and strangled Guerrero.
Alvarado and Brewer then took Guerrero to a field and set him on fire, Berlin said. When Guerrero tried running away, prosecutors said Alvarado and Brewer ran him over in their car.

Berlin said a third person, Jesus Correa, 18, was asked to provide gasoline used to set the victim on fire. Correa observed the body in the fire pit when he got to the scene and later saw the fire pit go up in flames, Berlin said.
"The facts alleged are brutal and heinous and evidence of an unconscionable degree of depravity," Berlin said.
Prosecutors announced charges against three people in connection with the murder of a man found burned in a field in West Chicago Tuesday.
Alvarado and Brewer were both charged with first degree murder, armed robbery and concealment of a homicidal death. In a court appearance Thursday, both were denied bail.
Correa has been charged with concealment of a homicidal death. His bond was set at $100,000.
Guerrero's body was discovered at about noon on Tuesday in the 1300-block of Joliet Street. Police said the parents of one of the suspects who lives near the field told them about blood on their Jeep.
After speaking with Correa, he directed police to a motel in Chicago, where they located Alvarado and Brewer. Berlin said items from the victim, including a bloody backpack which contained a bloody knife and screwdriver, were found in the motel room.
Police said that the victim had been in a dating relationship with Brewer and that Brewer is currently dating Alvarado. Police said Brewer and Alvarado planned the murder because Brewer claimed Guerrero raped her when they dated previously.
"They've not located any reports of a complaint of any sexual assault or rape," Berlin said.
An autopsy found that Guerrero had been stabbed more than a dozen times, strangled and suffered blunt force injuries consistent with being run over by a car, prosecutors said.

St George Illawarra have withstood a valiant Sydney Roosters comeback to edge a memorable Anzac Day thriller 20-18 at Allianz Stadium.
The Dragons bounded out to a commanding 18-0 lead by half-time but could add only a penalty goal in the second half as the Roosters clawed back one, then two, then three tries to have all 34,483 fans on the edge of their seats in a grandstand finish.
The Roosters threw the ball around with abandon as they searched desperately for late points to claim an unlikely win after being completely outplayed in the opening 40 and the boilover was on when Dragons debutant Taane Milne was flattened by Dylan Napa and Boyd Cordner and lost the ball in his own half with two to go.
However while Milne was unfortunately the victim of a head clash with Cordner, the referees also deemed Napa's challenge to be too high and the ensuing penalty effectively closed out the contest despite a frantic final play from the Roosters that extended well after the full-time siren.
That challenge left Napa one of three Roosters on report, joining Sam Moa (shoulder charge) and Eloni Vunakece (pressure on neck).
Debutant playmaker Ryan Matterson – nephew of Brisbane great Terry – had a debut to remember, tossing an intercept pass in the first half for a Dragons try but setting up one try and scoring one of his own in a memorable fightback.
But the steady work of Paul McGregor's men and in particular Gareth Widdop in a disciplined first half allowed them to hang on – just – to their second win in a row, a result that pushes them level with eighth-placed Manly and keeps the Tricolours mired to the foot of the ladder.
Widdop went on to be awarded the Ashton-Collier medal as man of the match.
The Dragons' six offloads to three and 19 of 23 sets completed (versus just 12 of 18) in the opening 40 helped them to 55 per cent of the first-half possession and they made it count.
It started with an almost-obligatory early penalty goal to Gareth Widdop before the Saints skipper chased through on his own bomb to put himself in range to capitalise when Roosters fullback Latrell Mitchell spilled the chance backwards, making it 8-0 after 20 minutes.
An uncharacteristic error from Shaun Kenny-Dowall and a high tackle penalty against Mitchell Frei handed the Dragons another chance and Widdop's pinpoint cross-field kick early in the set found Jason Nightingale outside his opposing man. The ball yorked him but he slid on his knees to shepherd the Steeden in and ground it.
With not much going right for the Roosters – who had to manage without both Aidan Guerra and Mitch Aubusson at times in the opening 40 due to concussion checks – a neat catch-and-pass from debutant Matterson was pickpocketed by Kalifa Faifai-Loa who streaked 65 to score under the posts right before the interval to make it 18-0 at the break.
The Tricolours desperately needed some better ball handling and a change of luck to start the second half; the first deserted them but they landed the second in spades.
A loose carry from Mitchell off their first touch of the half handed the Dragons an attacking set but when Mitchell gambled on Widdop's grubber going dead and won – just – you started to winder if it may be the Roosters' turn.
Shortly after, the on-field officials didn't spot a dummy half pass from Jake Friend that sailed at least a metre forward and Friend was on hand a couple of plays later to complete a wonderful team try that included two right-arm flick passes from Kenny-Dowall and Matterson to get it back to 18-6.
A questionable late tackle penalty against Kane Evans allowed Gareth Widdop to push it back to 20-6 in the 50th minute despite strong protests from Roosters skipper Friend, before debutant Matterson's busy day continued when his attacking grubber deflected off a Dragons defender to sit up for Mitchell to score.
Panic started to set in for the Roosters as the clock wound down with two scoring plays still required and it ended up being the least experienced man in the 17 who found the piece of magic that revitalised their hopes.
A quality high bomb from Matterson came down in front of the Dragons posts with Blake Ferguson, and Matterson was in place to receive the pass and charge over under the posts to cause the Dragons a late heart flutter.
But from there, through a final frantic six minutes, the Dragons were able to find the scramble in defence to protect their two point lead for a much needed win.
St George Illawarra Dragons 20 (Widdop, Nightingale, Faifai Loa tries; Widdop 4 goals) def Sydney Roosters 18 (Friend, Mitchell, Matterson tries; Hastings 3 goals) at Allianz Stadium. Half time: Dragons 18-0. Crowd: 34,483. On report: Sam Moa, Eloni Vunakece, Dylan Napa.

In Belmont, The Making Of A "City Of Villas"
January 20, 2017 | by Joshua Bevan
Last week marked the 126-year anniversary of the passing of Pennsylvania Congressman William D. Kelley, a highly influential, but long-forgotten Philadelphian who helped shape West Philadelphia's Belmont neighborhood. In the decades leading up to Kelley's death at 75, the one-time journeyman jeweler turned lawyer and politician lived at the corner of 41st and Parrish Streets and held title to several parcels in the vicinity of his home. In the years leading up to the Centennial International Exhibition of 1876, which placed Belmont alongside World's Fair stage in Fairmount Park, Kelley's influence in real estate speculation in the neighborhood reached a precipice, as his holdings gradually gave way to suburban development after the Centennial when an influx of homebuyers began settling there. But the story of Belmont's origins blossoms into view around several institutions and a famous Scottish mason that made the neighborhood their own as Kelley's imprint began to fade.
Belmont is Born

Most of William D. Kelley's holdings were undeveloped woodland according to period atlases. These, among other parcels in Belmont, awaited investment in an area sandwiched between Lancaster Avenue and the Pennsylvania Railroad's lines running adjacent to Westminster Avenue. Proliferating streetcar connections and the Centennial's magnetism aided in Belmont's imminent influx of residents during the 1880s and 1890s. Kelley sold off lots along the 4000 block of Parrish Street (essentially his backyard) for over two decades, continuing Belmont's predominant pattern of subdivision and speculation as land values rose. A years before his death, the block bound by N. Preston Street, 41st Street, Parrish Street, and Ogden Street became the thriving campus of the West Philadelphia Hospital for Women.
In 1889, the hospital opened its doors at 41st and Odgen Streets on the northern extent of land formerly owned by Kelley. The hospital's novel approach provided care to women by women and was spurred on by the efforts of Elizabeth Comly-Howell, a co-founder, board member, and practitioner at the hospital. In the years leading up to the opening of WPHW, Belmont was on the verge of becoming what historian M. Laffitte Veiera described as, "a city of villas," that would represent the spread of the old city's sister-suburb beyond its nascent form. Now, 127 years since Kelley's death, Belmont no longer exists as a city of villas per se, but instead as one of Philadelphia's least-mined architectural lodes. Semi-detached houses, halved due to degradation and eventual demolition, remain stoic reminders of Belmont's suburban infancy, while several Second Empire twins, once highly-sought, speculative real estate, now underscore the neighborhood's economic decline. Along North Preston Street and Westminster Avenue, ornate, Victorian row houses and Gothic Revival twins, built in the late 1880s and early 1890s, provide a tangible link between Belmont's growth from a fringe suburb to an urban haven.

The opening of the Thomas Lansdale-designed PRR Branch YMCA (currently occupied by Belmont Charter Academy) in 1892 brought yet another influential institution into Belmont. PRR maintained a strong presence in the community as a direct result of the Y's opening. Permit applications for speculative housing in the vicinity of the YMCA and the WPHW swelled in the early 1890s, and PRR employees living in the surrounding blocks frequented census records by 1900. Belmont became a blend of semi-detached villas, high-style, moderately-sized row houses, twins, and a select few single-detached corner properties that crowned the corners of their blocks. Around the hospital, the school, the YMCA, and an influx of new residents in the neighborhood coalesced.
The Mark of a Mason
The WPHW began its operation in Belmont within several existing buildings along the block it redefined, very likely including Kelley's former home. By 1893, the crimson-clad Queen Anne standing at 836 N. Preston Street was built on land once owned by Kelley adjacent to the WPHW campus, adding to the neighborhood's architectural nuance. Appropriately, the four story mansion's restrained detailing and solid stance befit its original owner, Alexander McGaw, whose contributions to significant structures in Philadelphia and the northeastern U.S. are largely unrecognized, yet profound. McGaw, a Scottish émigré and masonry contractor, made a name for himself in Philadelphia, New England, and as far west as Minnesota as the go-to subcontractor to engineers of several major infrastructural projects, including the Thames River Drawbridge in New London, CT (1889), Duluth-Superior Bridge in Duluth, MN (1897), Philadelphia's Girard Avenue Bridge (1874), and most notably, as contractor in charge of the construction of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, completed in 1886. McGaw's career flourished as a result of contracting partnerships with civil engineers who considered his talent among top masonry construction experts of the time.

Brownstone water table and belt courses divide the façade, while plaster cast motifs and imbricated shingles represent ornamentation common to the Queen Anne style.

McGaw, born in Drummore, Scotland in 1832, arrived in Philadelphia in 1873 and resided at the Bingham House at 11th and Market Streets from around the time of his arrival to the early 1880s. McGaw's arrival was well-timed with the construction of the Girard Avenue Bridge. Whether or not McGaw's move to Philadelphia was directly related to the bridge's construction is unknown. In 1883, McGaw listed his residence at 819 N. Preston Street, signaling his move to Belmont and the beginning of the McGaw family's story in the neighborhood. By this time, streets within eye shot of McGaw's residence, essentially one-half of an Italianate twin, were checkered with semi-detached housing and soon to be subdivided parcels of prominent landowners and their estates like those of the Vodges and Kelley families. Higher-density row house neighborhoods were located closer to Lancaster Avenue and east of 40th Street.
In late June 1889, McGaw acquired two lots measuring a combined 102 feet by 109 feet at the northwest corner of Parrish and North Preston from William D. Kelley. Between 1889 and 1892, McGaw continued to list 819 N. Preston Street as his primary residence in city directories, suggesting that construction of his Queen Anne mansion did not immediately follow the acquisition of the corner lots that were located diagonally across North Preston Street. The four-story masonry residence first appears on Bromley's Atlas of the City of Philadelphia, published in 1892. As McGaw established residency there the WPHW's expansion kept pace with that of the neighborhood in the 1890s, eventually growing to surround McGaw's mansion to the north and west as interns, graduate nurses, and maternity staff rounded out the roster. By 1900, the hospital was pressing the confines of the residential buildings it was housed within along the 4000 block of Ogden Street and Kelley's former mansion.

McGaw resided at 836 N. Preston through 1905. The contractor managed to mold his pursuits in masonry around technical and entrepreneurial abilities, working among reputable engineers and, in the 1890s, operating under the McGaw & Sons brand. Following McGaw's passing in January 1905, the Washington Times listed him among over 300 "Men and Women, Whose Place in This World's Work It Will be Hard to Fill."
McGaw's sons, William and Robert, found their way at various points into their father's trade before shifting their pursuits to stock brokerage after 1910. During McGaw's residency as a next door neighbor to the WPHW more moderately sized homes were constructed along the 800 block of North Preston Street, eventually filling a block in transition and providing opportunity for ownership or rental to newcomers, many of whom had railroad-related occupations. McGaw's sons remained residents at 836 N. Preston Street through the early 1920s and managed to rent the expansive, four story mansion to several lodgers between 1910 and the dawn of Great Depression.
For Women, By Women
WPHW expanded in 1917 with the construction of the Elizabeth L. Peck Maternity Ward. It was designed by Walter Smedley with ornamentation by the Conkling-Armstrong Terra Cotta Company. Peck was among the hospital's founders and served as the institution's first physician-in-charge. The new maternity ward emerged as a sign of the hospital's augmented capacity for care and West Philadelphia's rising population. According to descriptions in the medical journal Modern Hospital from 1918, the building was placed into Belmont's surroundings described as "a residence section of the city where there is plenty of open space, free circulation of air, relief from the sounds of heavy traffic, and an absence of odors and other unpleasant features commonly associated with built-up neighborhoods of almost every large city."

The hospital's importance to Philadelphia was substantiated by its rising annual birth totals, which increased from 21 in 1897 to 315 in 1916. The merger of the Woman's Hospital of Philadelphia and the West Philadelphia Hospital for Women in 1929 resulted in a change in name, but a continued purpose. The proposed new complex for the Woman's Hospital of Philadelphia in West Philadelphia called for the demolition of WPHW buildings, but omitted razing the 1917 Peck Maternity ward. The McGaw residence did not appear on a 1930 rendering of the proposed site, but was saved from demolition and underwent alteration in 1931 and 1932 according to building permit records. Despite documented alteration, the building today appears to retain an abundance of its historic character that enables its distinct presence to continue.
The Woman's Hospital of Philadelphia continued its operation in Belmont until 1964 when it was absorbed into the University of Pennsylvania's health care system. Most recently, buildings from the hospital's complex underwent renovation and rehabilitation in 1998 as part of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission's, Sarah Allen Redevelopment Area Plan, which sought to provide new affordable housing in Belmont, including the reuse of former WPHW building's as housing for low income seniors and families. As for McGaw's bespoke brick mansion, 836 N. Preston Street remains a standout in Belmont and is among the neighborhood's most significant Victorian vestiges. Despite their architectural and historical distinction, the McGaw's former residence and hospital property are not listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.

The BMW 7-Series has always been a very important car to look at for those who loves BMWs. As the flagship model, new design cues and technology more often than not makes its debut on the 7-Series first and then slowly trickles down the rest of the model range. Let's have a close look at the new F01 7-Series after the jump.
Styling-wise, the new 7-Series follows the Bangle principle of revolution-evolution design language cycles. If you look back in the history of BMW designs at the 5-Series, the E34 was a revolutionary design language while the E39 was an evolution of the E34. When the E60 made its debut, it was an evolution again. For the 7-Series, the previous E65 / E66 model marked a revolution in the 7-Series design, so this new F01 model must naturally be an evolution. And it is somewhat, actually looking more like an evolution of the E60 rather than the E65.
BMW makes no attempt to hide the bulk of the car (no crease lines by the side etc), in fact the rear end looks so large you might mistake it for an SUV's at certain angles. The front end is quite clearly inspired by the BMW CS Concept, from the large nostrils to the headlamps which actually have a similiar internal configuration of individual lamps and "eyebrow" but differing slightly in shape. From the front three quarter angle it reminds me of a distorted E39 5-Series – there is the similiar engine hood, kidney grille shape (though not the same size) and a similiar bumper to the post-facelift E39.
Three models were revealed at launch time – the 740i, 750i and 730d, although you can be sure for the Malaysian market we'll see a 730i. BMW seems to have made a transition to embracing turbocharging very quickly – just a few years ago they were an all-normally-aspirated brand when it comes to gasoline engines. WIth the new 7-Series, all of its debut engine offerings are turbocharged! The top of the range 750i is powered by the N63B44 4.4 litre twin turbocharged V8 which made a world debut in the BMW X6 xDrive50i. In the 7-Series it produces 407hp between 5,500 to 6,400rpm and a peak torque of 600Nm between 1,750rpm and 4,500rpm, and takes the car from 0 to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds.
The 740i is powered by the N54B30 3.0 litre twin turbocharged inline-6. The 740i (rather than a 735i) designation is due to a higher power output of 326hp at 5,800rpm in the 7-Series installation as compared to the version in the 135i and 335i. Peak torque of 450Nm is reached at a very low 1,500rpm. 0 to 100km/h with the 740i is 5.9 seconds.
The diesel offering is the 730d, powered by an inline-6 turbodiesel producing 245hp at 4,000rpm, and peak torque of 540Nm from 1,750rpm to 3,000rpm. This is a single turbocharger engine, but uses a Variable Geometry Turbocharger. Its crankcase and cylinder head are made of aluminium alloy.
Surprisingly, an 8-speed transmission did not make its debut with this new F01 7-Series. The transmission used for all models is still a 6-speed with ultra fast lock-up clutch function in all gears and the ability to shift down multiple gears (up to 4 at once!) with no extra delay compared to shifting down a single gear. ZF's 8HP transmission will probably make its debut when a 760Li V12 is added to the range later.
Shifting is via a shift-by-wire system, transmitting shift instructions to the gearbox from the new gear lever via electronic signals rather than a mechanical linkage. The gear lever is now moved to a more conventional location compared to the E65 / E66's steering column mounted lever.
Air suspension for the rear suspension only is standard on the long wheelbase 740Li and 750Li. The rear uses a multi-link suspension much like the previous generation, but the front axle now uses a double wishbone design, which first debuted on a BMW in the BMW X5. The all-aluminium suspension system features Dynamic Damping Control, which can adjust the inbound and rebound rates of each damper individually to suit road surfaces and driving patterns. There is also optional Dynamic Drive, which uses active anti-roll bars as with the BMW X5 to control actively counter body roll. I can testify that this works amazingly in the X5 so it should work well in the F01 as well.
The behaviour of Dynamic Damping Control is influenced by the Dynamic Driving Control system which has three modes – COMFORT, NORMAL, SPORTS and SPORTS+ settings, which also modify the car's steering assistance, accelerator pedal behaviour, and automatic transmission gearshift dynamics. Dynamic Damping Control behaviour can also be set independently of all the other variables affected by the Dynamic Driving Control mode via the iDrive interface.
Integral Active Steering will vary the steering angle of the front wheels depending on steering wheel movement, wheel rotation speed, yaw rate and lateral acceleration, similiar to the way Active Steering works. The difference here is that Active Steering has been upgraded to Integral Active Steering, which adds the ability to control the steering angle of the rear wheels by up to 3 degrees through a spindle drive and a concentrically arranged motor. The rear wheels turn in the opposite direction of the front wheel steering angle to enhance agility, but at higher speeds the rear wheel steering angle follows the front wheels to smoothen out lane change maneuvers and bend negotiation.
The long wheelbase version has a 140mm longer wheelbase than the normal 7-series. It can be had with either a normal rear seat bench or two single seats with a console in the middle that has an iDrive controller.
The individual seats can be adjusted front and back by 70mm, with seat and backrest angles also being adjustable as if it were one of the single seats in the front. Other options include an entertainment system that includes two monitors integrated into the front seat backrests hooked up to a DVD player. The seats can be had with massage function and ventilation. Additional air vents can also be specified.
The massage seats feature twelve massage bubbles and six rotation bubbles integrated in the backrest to relax the occupant's thorax, shoulder and lumbar. There is also a feature where the seat bottom can move up and down intermittently to prevent any cramped feelings for long journeys.
At first glance the instrument cluster looks like a conventional BMW analog meter panel. Now before you complain about BMW being unimaginative in this area while its competitors have gone with LCD panels for the instrument cluster, look closely and you will see that the entire instrument cluster is actually a colour LCD that has the usual four chrome dials installed in the middle of it.
What is "real" are the dials, indicator needles, and scale markings. The rest including speedometer and rev meter numbers and all other warnings and indicators are displayed via the colour LCD. BMW calls this the "Black Panel".
The new 7-Series has the next generation of BMW iDrive. iDrive allows the driver to control the entertainment, information, GPS navigation and telecommunication functions of the car. The two main interfaces of iDrive have been upgraded substantially – the iDrive controller knob and the iDrive display. The iDrive controller knob now has three modes of input – turning, pushing and tipping. You tip (tilt?) the controller from side to side for horizontal scrolling functions, and turn clockwise and anticlockwise for vertical scrolling functions. Pushing is only four-way, give the knob a little tug north, south east or west. Finally there is pressing down on the button for selection.
The iDrive menu interfaces have been redesigned to have the same scheme and structure, allowing the menu navigation to be more intuitive. There are also four quick-access buttons for the CD, radio, telephone and navigation GPS functions.
There is also one more additional input method – voice control, an obvious response to the LINGUATRONIC system from Mercedes-Benz. You activate voice control from a button on the steering wheel. Commands for voice entry (what to say) are shown on the display, and the system also accepts synonyms of the terms.
The iDrive display is now a delicious 10.2 inch high resolution LCD panel that can display 1280 x 480 pixels, which means the display is capable of the resolution width of a typical 17 or 19 inch 4:3 LCD monitor. This should allow everything especially navigation maps to be displayed with greater detail and clarity. There is a very good use for the high display resolution – text. iDrive's ConnectedDrive system now has full web browsing capabilities. The car dials up to the internet via GSM, GPRS or EDGE. You just need a SIM card with a data plan. It's a shame there is no 3G. A mouse pointer can be controlled via pushing the iDrive knob in four directions, and pushing it down to register a click. The user can also zoom into text on a web page by a factor of 1.5 or 2. For safety reasons, the web browser may only be activated when the car is at a standstill.
Navigation maps are now loaded from a 40GB hard drive which should enhance the performance of GPS navigation map loading substantially. The hard drive can also be used to store music. Music files can be loaded from a CD, an MP3 player or USB storage. Information such as artist and title can be downloaded from CDDB databases on the internet in real time via the ConnectedDrive internet connection.
The iDrive display can also display video feeds from a wide angle camera at the rear, or two front-end cameras integrated into the front bumper to help with parking. There is also an integrated owner's manual somewhere in the menu.
The 7-Series comes standard with a single-DVD player, auxiliary input and USB input. Options include a TV module, a six-DVD changer and a digital radio receiver. There are two levels of upgrades to the baseline system. First is the optional BMW Professional HiFi, and the top of the line is the BMW Individual High End Audio, which uses 16 speakers with Neodym magnetic drivers and stiff Hexacone speaker membranes, paired to a 9-channel amp with 825W output.
As mentioned before, the long wheelbase modules can opt for two a rear seat entertainment system. Here we go into details – there are two actually. One is the Rear Seat Entertainment Mid System, which allows the rear seat passengers to operate the entertainment system via remote control on two 8 inch monitors. The monitors can show different sources at once. The other would be the Rear Seat Entertainment High System which bumps the LCD size up to 9.2 inches and feature an iDrive controller on the rear bench center armrest. This iDrive controller can operate the navigation and telecommunication functions, including surfing the internet on its own screen without displaying it on the iDrive screen in front.
BMW's iDrive Navigation now features 3D maps. You can either display the nav screen in split screen mode with the route on the left and a map on the right, or a full screen navi mode with the 10.2 inch display showing the map in full glory. The maps now represent elevations more accurately when driving through mountainous or hilly areas. In certain cases 3D representation of buildings in the area is also available.
The driver can plan his route on a PC and later transfer the route to the on-board iDrive navigation via USB storage or via mobile transmission using ConnectedDrive.
The F01 chassis is built out of high and ultra-high tensile steel as well as aluminium. The roof is all-aluminium, shaving off approximately 7kg and lowering the car's center of gravity. Other parts made of aluminium include the engine hood, the doors, front fenders, front spring supports and suspension arms. Standard airbag fitment include front, hip/thorax and curtain head side airbags. There are ABS brakes naturally, and during hard braking that activates the ABS function the Adaptive Brake Lights light up flashing with a higher intensity. Hazard warning flashes are automatically switched on when you brake hard to a stand still.
Bi-Xenon headlamps are standard, and the angel eyes (as we call them or corona rings as BMW calls them) function as daytime driving lights. A light sensor automatically turns on the main beams when ambient light drops low. There are also rain sensors which turn on the wipers automatically.
The headlamps have two options – Headlight Assistant and Adaptive Headlights. The Headlight Assistant system turns on the high beam automatically when there are no cars up ahead. Adaptive Headlights adds a few more features to the headlamps. One is the ability to switch on an additional light beam when the driver turns into a corner, illuminating the area head in the corner. Adaptive Headlight Range Control adjusts the beam angle automatically over different road vertical contours. Variable light distribution enlarges the beam wider at speeds below 50km/h, but switches to a highway mode that shines further. The foglamps work in a similiar way, except the switchover point is 70km/h.
The Lane Change Warning feature flashes an LED display on and off at the base of the wing mirror and vibrates the steering wheel to alert the driver if there is a vehicle in the adjacent lane. Radar sensors in the rear monitor the adjust lanes extending from the lane directly next to the car (blindspot) up to a distance of 60 meters behind the vehicle. As a pre-caution whenever there is a vehicle in this area a triangular symbol will light up at the base of the wing mirror.
The Land Departure Warning system uses cameras in the installed on the windscreen near the rear view mirror to monitor road markings and is able to look ahead up to 50 meters and warns the river via discrete vibrations on the steering wheel if he veers off his lane. Of course during lane change maneuvers you are supposed to turn on your turn indicators, so this warning will not be issued if you have your turn indicators on.
Optional Active Cruise Control (as opposed to standard cruise control) with integrated stop and go allows the driver to maintain a set distance from the car in front up to a maximum set cruise speed limit that works even in slow irregular traffic such as traffic jams. A Speed Limit Display system uses a camera near the rear view mirror to watch out for traffic signs by the side of the road and automatically recognises the numbers of the speed limit signage. It can also use speed limit data from the GPS navigation system's maps, but priority is given to the speed limit captured by the camera.
BMW Night Vision uses a thermal imaging camera that displays a video feed to the BMW iDrive system. It's been introduced before in cars like the E60 facelift, but this time the night vision system can identify individual persons in the display and show them as yellow so the driver can easily spot them in the thermal video feed.
The videos below are all in German but do watch them because they reveal more parts of the car not shown in the press photos.

Ole Miss players walk out of meeting with athletic director over coach's firing: report
Fox News Flash top headlines for Dec. 2 are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com
Several Ole Miss players reportedly walked out of a meeting with the athletic director Sunday after learning that the school was going to remove Matt Luke as head coach.
Running back Jerrion Ealy and defensive end Tariqious Tisdale were among the players to bolt the session, according to The Daily Mississippian.
"Disappointed, lost really," Ole Miss offensive lineman Chandler Tuitt told the newspaper. "Y'all made the decisions without even telling us, first of all. So, like, we're just all lost. Half the team is talking about leaving if Luke leaves. If you clean house again, I don't think anyone's going to stay. You've got new recruits coming in next week and won't have a head coach."

Luke was 15-21 in three seasons at Ole Miss. The team lost 21-20 to Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl after receiver Elijah Moore's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and the kicker's missed point-after try.
Luke was a former offensive lineman who was an assistant coach under Hugh Freeze. When Freeze was fired, Luke took over as head coach and helped Ole Miss to a 6-6 record in his first year in 2017. He had signed a four-year deal after that season that would have kept him at Ole Miss through 2021.
However, athletic director Keith Carter announced it was time to go a different route.
"While improvements were evident in certain aspects of the program, we are judged ultimately by our record, and, unfortunately, we did not meet the standard of success that we expect from our program," Carter said.
The Rebels concluded the 2019 season with a 4-8 record and a 2-6 record in the SEC.

With the warm weather persisting, walking the dogs has become an exercise in trying to dodge the heat. We were lucky today because the morning stayed cool right up until lunchtime but even so, Little Bear still needed to take some time out to have a rest.
His favourite medium of choice is clover, which of course prompts a swift chorus of 'Roll me over in the clover' from yours truly, but failing that, he's quite partial to some long grass. He disappeared so completely into it this morning that it took a while to find him. If he keeps this up I'll have to start a Schnauzer version of Where's Wally.
The clover shot is for pure cuteness.


"For two months the American and South Korean ground forces fought it out alone. For two months they fought without even the promise of help from other major powers..."
"The miracle-man most responsible for this rejuvenated navy is brilliant, 53-year-old Admiral Forrest P. Sherman, the first air officer to serve as CNO..."
By the autumn of 1950 it became clear to the old hands at the Pentagon that the "police action" on the Korean peninsula was beginning to resemble a real war. With that in mind, thirteen military training camps that had been been barren for the past five years, were dusted off in order that they might once more begin training Americans for war. Two weeks later China threw her hat in the ring.
As is made clear on this website, numerous tanks were fielded by the U.N. Forces during the Korean War, and one of the most effective ones was the Patton Tank (in all it's variations).
This snippet appeared on the newsstands shortly after Halloween, 1950. It will give you a sense of the great relief that was felt not simply in the halls of Congress and the Pentagon, but all across the country. The journalist wrote this report as if decades had past and a distant memory was being recalled about a five month-long war that was once fought and won by the all-suffering Americans and their U.N. Allies, but the Communists learned their lesson, so we don't have to worry about them anymore. The war's turning point is hailed (The Inchon Landings), as is General MacArthur, American casualty figures are listed and mention is made of the South Koreans moving into the recently liberated towns of the North. But this same reporter would write a very different article for the next issue of the magazine when he would relay that the war had expanded, and casualty figures had ballooned with the intervention of the Chinese Army.

Colombia – Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia
Our minivan clocks up the kilometers as we head towards one of Colombia's most majestic gardens, the Valle del Cocora, on an undulating super highway called the Autopista del Café. Flanked by the mist-covered foothills of the Central Cordillera and green verdant fields, we are barely beyond the city limits of one of Colombia's coffee capitals, Armenia, en route to Pereira, when the scenery turns exuberant with bamboo groves dipping into every curve and wax palms swaying in the faint morning light. The journey is matched by our first destination: the Valley of Cocora, home to so many 100-year- old wax palms that, wherever you look, you feel humbled by the magnificence of Colombia's national tree, a towering, silent guardian watching over one of this country's great natural wonders.

Plastics recycling technology roundup: July 6, 2020
Jared Paben
Reclaimers install specially designed shredders, scientists tweak scrap thermosets so they can be remolded, and four technologies win over $1 million in grants.
Outlet for 3-7 bales: A plastics reclaimer will invest over $7 million to build a facility in New York to process difficult-to-recycle plastics, according to Plastics News. The Empire Polymer Solutions facility near Syracuse will take in low-value mixed-plastic bales, which have lost export markets over the last several years. The company will sort out and recycle the PP in the plastics Nos. 3-7 bales while also trying to find ways to make products out of the other polymers. The company president said the facility will use customized equipment, including wash lines.
Shredder advancements in action: Two shredder companies recently put out case studies on how their products have helped plastics reclaimers. Lindner issued a release describing how its Micromat 2000 shredder with its new Multiplex cutting system has helped Lohner Kunststoffrecycling, a production scrap reclaimer in Vechta, Germany that processes about 45,000 metric tons per year. Separately, Weima issued a release describing how German reclaimer Inoplast Kunststoff is using two Weima WLK 15 Jumbo single-shaft shredders to size-reduce polyamide airbag laminate scrap, which is extremely tear-resistant and difficult to shred. Inoplast Kunststoff opted for a high-throughput hydraulic-drive variant of the shredder.
Chemically recycling PLA: Scientists at two U.K. universities have developed a process to convert scrap polylactic acid (PLA) into a biodegradable solvent product for use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The team from the universities of Birmingham and Bath used a zinc-based catalyst and methanol to break down PLA into methyl lactate. They tested the process on a disposable cup, 3D printer scrap and a children's toy. Results of their research were published in the journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. "We were excited to see that it was possible to obtain high quantities of the green solvent regardless of samples' characteristics due to colorants, additives, sizes and even molecular weight," lead author Luis Román-Ramírez of the University of Birmingham's School of Chemical Engineering, stated in a press release.
Sortable black pigment: Another infrared-recognizable black pigment for packaging has been released to the market. The Shepherd Color Company announced the release of Arctic Black 10P925, a pigment that can be detected by optical sorters. The single-pigment solution can survive multiple extrusions and has food packaging compliance in the European Union market, according to a press release. It is designed to replace the use of carbon black, which absorbs light from optical sorter light emitters, making it so the sensor can't see the plastic or identify the polymer. Just two months ago, chemical company BASF also released an NIR-sortable black colorant.
Remolding thermosets: Scientists at Case Western University developed a technology for recycling thermosets, using a process they developed called "vitrimerization." The technique involves using a solvent-assisted approach to diffuse a catalyst into epoxy and polyurethane networks. That converts the permanent cross-linked molecular structures of the thermosets into dynamic cross-linked ones, which can be hot-press molded or injection molded into new products. The process is called vitrimerization because it converts the thermosets into a new class of materials called vitrimer polymers, according to a press release from the university.
Tracing marine plastic: Spanish plastics research institute AIMPLAS wrote about the use of a tracer to verify that textiles came from recycled marine plastics. As part of the European Union-funded OCEANETS project, recovered fishing nets were chemically recycled into nylon pellets. AIMPLAS provided a tracer additive to mix into the pellets, which were then then processed into fabric. Because of the additive, the clothing changed color when exposed to infrared rays, according to AIMPLAS. "This is the first time it has been possible to demonstrate the traceability of the raw material used to make a fabric, which, in this case, is fishing nets," according to an AIMPLAS press release.
Recycling technology grants: The U.K. recycling-support group Waste and Resources Action Program (WRAP) announced four plastics recycling projects have won nearly 1 million British pounds (about $1.27 million). The projects are the following: the PolyChrome technology, which can remove color and other additives from scrap PE and PP; a project to use artificial intelligence to develop a suite of optimal material formulations for complex polymer compounds; a project to develop a new HDPE bottle for Domestos brand bleach that includes over 70% PCR; and a technique to separate layers of different polymers and aluminum from multilayer packaging scrap.

Q: How to show that this set is a sigma algebra I am studying "FAMILIES OF SETS" in the book "Real analysis for graduate
students(v 3.1)" by Richard F. Bass and I could not figure out this example.
The example
Definition of an algebra and sigma-algebra
They are stating that

Verifying parts (1) and (2) of the definition is easy.

This is exactly the part I do not understand.
I do not understand how we define the complement for a set {0,1,2}. The set {0,1,2} should be in D, as it is countable, but what is its complement? It seems that it is {...,-3-2-1} union {3,4,5,...}. Are these sets both countable?
And what about the set {1.1, 2.5, 3.4}, how do we define the complement of such a set? (and how do we show that it is in fact in D?)
P.S.
I do not know how to write formulas so I'm sorry for the ugly mathematical writing

A: The complement of {0,1,2} in R is every real number except those three. It's also in the algebra because that was the definition, you defined an algebra of all countable subsets or the complements of countable subsets.


I also had the good fortune of discovering this game today :-/. So, throwing my hat in the ring with a desire to purchase. If anyone is willing to sell their pledge (and explain how that would even work) that would be awesome. Or if the developers see this and are willing to add an order, that's cool too. I suspect I could talk myself into paying somewhere between 100 and 200 dollars for this depending on the level of pledge etc.
Also not sure if Lubidl0 took up Matty's offer or what happened there, so let me know on that front :).


There's a fine line between mocking obnoxious bro behavior and celebrating it, and writer-director Casey Tebo's "Happy Birthday" too often falls on the wrong side of the divide. Though well-acted and stylish, this meta-grindhouse exercise strains under its own self-satisfied cleverness.
Matt Bush stars as Brady Baxter, a nebbishy Hollywood assistant who takes an impromptu birthday trip to Mexico with his rich buddy Tommy (Riley Litman). Their planned epic debauchery gets scuttled when they meet two women (Britne Oldford and Vanessa Lengies) who kidnap and torture them, claiming to be working for a drug lord.

Q: Direct Sum of vector subspaces How is direct sum of two vector subspaces different from the sum of two vector subspaces i.e. how is $X\oplus Y$ different from $X + Y$, where $X, Y$ are subspaces.

A: For instance, in $\mathbb{R}^3$
$$
\langle e_1 \rangle + \langle e_2, e_3 \rangle = \langle e_1 \rangle \oplus \langle e_2, e_3 \rangle
$$
is a direct sum. Whereas
$$
\langle e_1, e_2 \rangle + \langle e_2, e_3 \rangle
$$
is not.
EDIT. $\langle e_1 \rangle $ stands for the vector subspace generated by vector $e_1 = (1,0,0)$. Maybe you write it $\mathrm{span}(e_1)$? The output of both sums is the same, namely the whole $\mathbb{R}^3$.
The point is that the first sum is a direct one because $\langle e_1 \rangle \cap \langle e_2, e_3\rangle = \left\{ (0,0,0)\right\}$, whereas $\langle e_1,e_2 \rangle \cap \langle e_2, e_3 \rangle = \langle e_2\rangle$. Hence the last one is not a direct sum.


Photographer Laurian Ghinitoiu turns his camera on the controversial Santiago Calatrava station, to see how it has been absorbed into the life of the city.
This article is published in partnership with ArchDaily.
Since it opened to the public two months ago, Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center Transportation Hub has been the subject of intense debate. Critics and the public alike have tried to answer whether the building, while undeniably unique and striking, was worth the $4 billion price tag that made it the world's most expensive train station. Key to this question's answer will be the way that the building settles into its role as a piece of the city's fabric.

Q: Packrat library can't be snapshotted after unstalling package First of all, I am aware that my pain is totally self-inflicted.
In moving certain packages to the external.packages option, I first uninstalled them from packrat using remove.packages() rather than packrat::clean() as recommended here by the package author.
The code in the project works just fine (as the external packages are properly loaded in the session), but since then it has been impossible to update the library. If I try to carry out a snapshot, I get the following error
Error: Unable to retrieve package records for the following packages:
- "knitr", "rmarkdown"

I tried reinstalling the packages afresh and packrat hollered back at me
Warning in install.packages :
  packages 'knitr', 'rmarkdown' are in use and will not be installed

So, I tried to call the proper function with  clean(c('knitr', 'rmarkdown'), force = TRUE) and still no way out as I got this message
Error in find.package(pkgs, lib) :
  there are no packages called 'knitr', 'rmarkdown'

I tried to check whether the packages physically exist in the packrat library and they do!
> .libPaths()
[1] "C:/Users/Admn/Documents/.../cct/packrat/lib/x86_64-w64-mingw32/3.5.1"
[2] "C:/Users/Admn/Documents/.../cct/packrat/lib-ext/x86_64-w64-mingw32/3.5.1"
[3] "C:/Users/Admn/Documents/.../cct/packrat/lib-R/x86_64-w64-mingw32/3.5.1"

> c('knitr', 'rmarkdown') %in% .packages(all.available = TRUE)
[1] TRUE TRUE
> c('knitr', 'rmarkdown') %in%
      list.dirs(.libPaths()[2], full.names = FALSE, recursive = FALSE)
[1] TRUE TRUE

I am seriously tempted to manually yank out the two folders from the library directory with unlink(), but I suspect I might end up creating more problems.
If it can be avoided, I don't want to end up reinstalling the entire packrat library -- all 500MB of it -- given that I have access to painfully slow and expensive internet. Does anyone know the way out of this mess?

A: Seem like the same issue here. You likely have a package that depends on knitr and/or rmarkdown. It does not seem like there is a solution to this problem where one uses external packages.

I tried reinstalling the packages afresh and packrat hollered back at me ...

Did you do it in the same session where you have packrat packrat::on()? In that case, your .libPaths() have been changed and the external packages are

... loaded from the user library upon entering packrat mode

before .libPaths() is changed. E.g., I get the following in a project that I have
packrat::get_opts("external.packages")
#R [1] "BH"
"BH" %in% .packages(all.available = TRUE)

We've all been there– made a reservation at a restaurant with the honest intent of showing up and somehow never make it. Though we may think it's "no biggie" this actually happens quite often in the restaurant industry. In fact studies show that an average of 20% of all dinner parties never quite make it to their reservation causing the industry to miss out on billions of dollars… Literally, almost 20 BILLION.
Joel Best of the Sydney Morning Herald stated, "…we don't make any profit for the night. We only have 60-65 seats, so if 10-12 people don't show up, the profit gets thrown out the window." So, how have restaurants combatted this unfortunate financial issue? A 2016 survey showed that 42% of restaurants have started taking pre-paid deposits and or card information to ensure some sort of profit in the unfortunate case of a "no-show." Though this does ensure a small profit sometimes it DOES backfire. Upon asking a customer for a deposit or card information they can tend to feel a bit cornered and start to wonder when/ how they will get their deposit back, or start to second guess their plans if they fall through. Often times this can lead to the customer going and making a reservation at a competing chain resulting in making no profit at all.
So, what's the best way in going about solving this issue..?
SMS Messaging to the RESCUE!
Attending: Through using SMS texting you are able to not only REMIND the customer of the reservation, but you can also give them an option to "CONFIRM" or "DENY." But, be careful!– sometimes, if a customer does NOT REPLY within a certain amount of time the table for your party will be canceled!
Change of plans: What's a great feature of using SMS texting is that if the customer does "confirm" they also (usually) have the option to update the time and number of guests in the party in case there are any changes to their original reservation. This ensures that the restaurant will be able to accommodate the party as well as be prepared for any last minute changes there might be.
Just think, people are essentially glued to their phones … so why not take the opportunity to capitalize on this mainstream form of communication!?! In fact, research shows that this revolutionary form of communication within the restaurant industry has already benefited both small mom n' pop and large chains alike! This has helped to not only make a profit, but also to form a more personal relationship with the customers. So, in the end, regardless of whether or not that customer confirms their reservation they still feel as though their time as well as yours is valued– EVERYONE WINS! This is just one of the few ways that SMS messaging is beginning to impact marketing!

Aston Martin not actively pursuing new investors as opens SUV plant
By Costas Pitas
A name plate for the James Bond 1965 Aston Martin DB5 coupe is displayed at Sotheby's auction house in New York
ST ATHAN, Wales (Reuters) - Aston Martin <AML.L>, which was reported this week to be the target of Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, said it was not actively pursuing new investors on Friday as it opened a new factory to build its first sport utility vehicle.
As some in the global car industry turn to partnerships, alliances or mergers to handle the challenge of electrification, new technology and tighter margins, Autocar magazine reported on Thursday that Stroll, the owner of Formula One team Racing Point, is preparing to buy a major stake in Aston.
"You know what we would have to do if there was an official approach. Beyond that, I can't comment," Aston's chief executive Andy Palmer told Reuters at the factory opening, referring to rules governing publicly-listed companies.
"We're certainly not actively soliciting any other participation. That's not to say it doesn't come," he said when asked whether Aston needed a new investor.
The British automaker's new factory in south Wales holds the key to ending a poor performance this year from Aston, whose shares have tumbled 75% this year on weaker-than-expected sales.
In August, Aston's biggest investor, Strategic European Investment Group, bought an extra 3% stake in the 106-year-old company, whose second largest shareholder is a Kuwaiti investor.
Last month Aston, which floated in October 2018, launched its DBX model, hoping that more female buyers will help boost sales after posting a pre-tax loss of 92.3 million pounds ($118 million) for the first nine months.
It hopes its new factory, in St Athan, near Cardiff, will help turn around its fortunes. The plant is its second alongside its historic one in Gaydon, central England.
As the autos sector consolidates through deals such as the merge of Peugeot and Fiat, Aston has said it does not need to belong to a bigger automotive group, pointing to the success of stand-alone rival Ferrari <RACE.MI>.
Palmer said the small stake held by Germany's Daimler <DAIGn.DE> allows Aston to have access to technology and benefit from the speed at which it can operate independently.
"There is a perfectly rational route to success in our current state," he said.
