In a nutshell: This article is an overview of your G35 sedan's audio system and its upgrade options. Use our vehicle selector to find the gear that will fit your car.
Long before the successful G20 line closed out its run, Infiniti was already hard at work on the car they hoped would make them more than just another high-end Japanese import. The new car had to be luxurious, it had to be powerful, and it had to be good enough to compete on even footing with Europe's best luxury touring sedans. The car they created, the G35 sedan, was all that and more.
This nimble 4-door sedan certainly looked the part, with sleek, Euro-flavored styling and enough high-tech interior gadgetry to make a computer scientist blush. Infiniti made sure the "go" equalled the "show" by dropping in a torquey 260-horsepower 3.5 liter V6 engine and tuning the independent suspension system to provide just the right combination of ride and handling. Automotive journalists love this sort of thing, and they dutifully showered the G35 with well-earned praise and awards.
The G35 wasn't just another high-end Japanese import. In some ways, it may have been a better "European" sports sedan than some of its European competitors. Even now, the G35 is a smart purchase for anyone who values the practicality of a sedan and the performance of a sports car. The factory stereo wasn't bad in its day, but a new aftermarket system will really make your G35 sedan sing.
The G35's factory AM/FM/CD receiver is located in an accessory stack situated between the front seats. The unit is surrounded by a series of plastic dash panels that help it blend in with the in with the interior's subtle, sophisticated aesthetic.
For the 2005 model year, the G35 got a freshened interior, which included a new dash and center console. Removing the 2005-06 factory receiver is thus a very different procedure than it is on the '03 and '04 models. No matter which one you have, you'll find instructions in the Crutchfield MasterSheet™ that's included free with your stereo purchase.
The standard speaker system, which stayed the same throughout the model run, carries a combo tweeter/ woofer setup at the front of the cabin. You'll find 1" tweeters in each door's sail panel (at the top of the front door), in addition to 6-1/2" woofers placed at the bottom front of each door panel. In the rear cabin, 6-1/2" woofers are placed at the bottom front of each rear door, level with the edge of the floor well.
The optional Bose system adds a cassette player to the AM/FM/CD stereo, plus upgraded speakers, a trunk-mounted 200w per side amplifier and an 8" subwoofer in the rear deck.
The dash disassembly process is somewhat involved on both versions of the G35, but the removal process really isn't as complex as it looks. The '03-'04 edition is a bit more complicated, but it's nothing the average DIY-er can't handle. You'll only need simple hand tools to disassemble the panels and brackets.
The factory stereo is thoroughly integrated into the center console on all G35 models, so replacing the unit requires the use of a dash kit that allows you to install a new single-sized (2" tall) or double-sized (4" tall) receiver in the G35's dash panel.
This kit, which is available at a deep discount when you purchase your new car stereo from Crutchfield, blends seamlessly into the interior and retains all heating, ventilation, and air conditioning controls. You'll also save money on the wiring harness and antenna adapter needed to install your new receiver.
It's relatively easy to retain the steering wheel audio controls when you install a new stereo in your G35 sedan. When you enter your vehicle information, our database will choose the adapter you need to make your factory steering wheel controls work with your new receiver.
Replacing the speakers will offer a few challenges, but it's nothing the average do-it-yourselfer can't handle.
The factory speaker system uses a hi/lo configuration, with tweeters placed approximately chest-high in the sail panels and a midrange woofer at the bottom front of each front door. To access these components you will have to remove the door panel.
Once the panel is free of the door, you can get to the tweeter by prying off two clips and lifting the entire sail panel/ tweeter assembly off the window pillar. The speaker itself is secured to the assembly by a retaining clip. After you remove the screws and disengage the plastic clip, the cone will come free of the assembly.
If your new tweeter is no more than 1.1" in diameter, you can try to mount it just like the factory tweeter. But due to the way the factory tweeter is arranged, it might be easier to mount the new tweeter directly to the back of the sail panel.
In the case of the woofers, simply unscrew four Phillips screws from the door bracket and lift the cone away from the assembly. The factory speaker is an "oversized" 6-3/4" speaker and many 6-3/4" replacements will fit. You can also install regular 6-1/2" or 5-1/4" speakers with the help of a mounting bracket, which is available at a discount with your Crutchfield purchase.
Bear in mind that there aren't any wiring harnesses available for the G35's speaker connectors, so you'll need to order Posi-Products speaker connectors.
Rear speaker removal and replacement for the G35 offers a similar bracketing configuration as the front door woofer installation.
The rear doors use the same speaker sizes as the front door. There isn't as much room between the speaker and the door panel as there was up front, so the range of available replacements is a bit smaller. If you choose 6-1/2" or 5-1/4" speakers, you'll need mounting brackets, which we'll include at a special discount price with your new speakers.
With the Bose system, door panel removal is the same, but the speaker sizing is a little different. The front doors fit mostly the same speakers as the standard system: 6-3/4", 6-1/2", or 5-1/4" speakers. The rear doors use a 5-1/4" speaker, but if you're willing to drill new screw holes in the door, you can fit a 6-1/2" speaker. Otherwise, you won't have to drill new screw holes when replacing speakers in the Bose system.
Luckily, wiring harnesses are available for G35's equipped with the Bose speaker system, so it'll be a tad bit easier to install new speakers. These harnesses – and mounting brackets, if needed – are available at a special discount price with your Crutchfield speaker purchase.
The G35's Bose system includes an 8" subwoofer installed in the rear deck. There is no wiring adapter for this system, so if you replace the factory subwoofer, you'll have to splice the wires and drill new mounting holes in the deck to secure it.
The Bose system uses a low-impedance woofer and a low-powered amp. If you replace this subwoofer, you should also replace the amplifier.
There's plenty of room in the trunk for a subwoofer box and amplifier, so you can add a bass system to provide the bottom-fill that the door speakers can't recreate.
Crutchfield carries a variety of adapters that let you add iPod control or satellite radio to your factory stereo system. Of course, if you're replacing the factory stereo, your new receiver will most likely feature built-in iPod control. You can also add satellite radio to most aftermarket stereos.
Installing a security system in your G35 sedan isn't easy (security systems rarely are), but it's definitely a good idea. Our Crutchfield Advisors can help figure out what you need to get the job done, but we usually recommend taking your car and new gear to a professional installer.
I have a 2003 G35 with a nose system . What all harnesses do I need and do I need to disconnect or bypass the existing amp and 8inch sub to hook up after marker amp and a 10 inch sub. Sorry hope I worded that correctly.
Kevin, With questions like that, it's always better to have a conversation with a real live human. Give us a call and talk to one of our advisors. We can help you choose the right gear and give you the right advice on how to install it.
JJ, I've sent your question to our sales team, and they'll be contacting you via email soon. For immediate help, you can contact them via phone or chat.
I have a 2006 G35 Sedan 6mt with Bose, and would like to be able to play music from my iPhone. I'm considering either a new head unit, or an adapter that will play nicely (and either maintain or improve sound quality) with the rest of the stock set-up, including steering wheel controls. What are some options you recommend?
Dale, If you're replacing the Bose speakers, most component tweeters will fit into the sail panel locations. You'll need to use our universal backstraps (or hot glue or silicone) to secure them, but they'll fit. I've forwarded this to our sales team, and they'll be contacting you via email soon. For immediate help, you can contact them via phone or chat.
I recently picked up a 2003 G35 and am looking to upgrade the front door speakers to start. What component speakers and tweeters fit in the stock location? I see that many brands fit speaker wise, but not tweeters? If I have to do a little modding fine but I don't want to mount the tweets on the surface.
Harold, The black piece next to the sub is present in G35 sedans with or without Bose audio, so you most likely have the standard system. There aren't any wiring harnesses available for the base system speakers, so you'll need Posi-Products speaker connectors to connect your new ones. Give us a call and we'll set you up with everything you need.
Hello, I just wanted to confirm something. It has been suggested that I can use the speaker wiring harnesses with my 2006 G35 (without Bose). However, from what I just read, this is not the case. I want to clear up if I can use the Metra speaker connectors? Additionally, in the picture related to this article about the G35, it shows an image of an amplifier next to the subwoofer. I don't have a sub; however, I have that same black piece just to the right of where it would be. I bought the car used, so if there was a sub there, it's gone now. I have no indications of Bose anywhere in the car, so I'm thinking I don't have it.
Ed, We can totally help with that. Give us a call and talk to one of our expert advisors. Once we know a little about the amp you have, we can tell you if it'll work with the Sound Ordnance model you want. If it won't work, we'll help you find something that will.
I have a 2005 Infiniti g35x with the Bose system. My rear deck subwoofer blew out a while back and I'm looking to replace it. I'm interested in buying the Sound Ordnance M2-8SVC 8" 4-ohm subwoofer from Crutchfield but I'm not sure if the amp I have already is powerful enough to handle this subwoofer or if I need to buy one that is compatible. If I do indeed need to purchase an amp, can you provide me with the best yet inexpensive options? Thanks!
Ben, That all depends on a few things, but mostly whether your G35 coupe has the Bose system or not. To see all the speakers that fit your car, enter your vehicle info on our Outfit My Car page. That'll show you all the speakers that fit your G35's various speaker locations.
John, The rear speakers are the same size as the ones up front, but they're full-range. A wide variety of 2-way speakers will work just fine back there.
Is it best to leave the rear door just a woofer or would a coaxial speaker improve the sound? I assume there is a reason there isn't a tweeter back there.
Vincent, I've sent your question to our sales team for the best answer, and they'll be contacting you via email soon. For immediate help, you can contact them via phone or chat.
Ben, That probably was true then, but these days, we offer a dash kit that allows you to replace the radio and retain all heating, ventilation, and air conditioning controls. It's available at a very nice discount when you order your stereo from Crutchfield. You can use our vehicle selector to confirm which stereos fit your car and get some info the kit and anything else needed for the installation.
I've been considering replacing the factory radio in my 2003 G35 sedan. However, I've been told (by the dealership) that the A/C controls are integrated with the stereo - indeed, when I pull the fuse for the radio, the A/C still runs but the controls do not work. Does replacing the factory stereo require some adapter to ensure the A/C controls are separated? Please help, I'm confused with what I was told years ago to what I'm seeing in the Crutchfield website.
Mike, 'Tis indeed. I'll forward your question to our sales team, and they'll be contacting you via email soon. For immediate help, you can contact them via phone or chat.
I would like to upgrade just my head unit in my 04 g35x Bose If possible, with touch screen Bluetooth, usb, possible navigation, but want to keep my speaker config factory... Is this a possibility?
Dave, I'm going to send your question to our sales team for the best answer. They'll be contacting you via email soon. For immediate help, you can contact them via phone or chat.
Collin, The sub should fit in the opening. If you're worried about rattling, we stock 8" speaker grilles, not to mention Dynamat.
I have a 2005 g35x without the premium (Bose) system. There's is an opening for the 8" subwoofer in the rear deck, but because it's not the premium model, there's just an empty opening. I am going to attempt to put an 8" Infinity Reference 1000 watt subwoofer (the 860w) in that opening. Will this work? Or will this just rattle the rear deck especially since there's no grill for the sub, like there is with the bose. Thank you.
Jason, There could be some minor differences between the JDM and "export" versions, but probably not enough to matter. Generally speaking, in order to connect the amp to the audio system, you'll need to either: a) connect RCA cables and turn-on lead to the back of the stereo (which means getting into the dash), or b) if you have speakers in the rear deck, use the amp's speaker-level inputs to get audio (and turn-on signal) from the rear speakers. Depending on how hard it is to get to the speakers, this might actually be more difficult than connecting at the stereo. Hope that helps!
I have an 2002 Nissan skyline (same as the g35 back home) I want to add an amp and subwoofer. It has an aftermarket kenwood deck already. Do I need to completely take apart the dash in order to connect the wires?
Steve, we don't recommend upgrading the stereo in this vehicle because climate controls are integrated the factory radio panel as you describe. You do have options when it comes to speakers and subs though. Give us a call and an advisor can make a recommendation based on your needs.
Arthur, we sent your question to our sales team for the best answer. They'll be contacting you via email soon. For immediate help, you can contact them via phone or chat.
Interested in speaker upgrades. Exactly what are the factory speaker sizes (front door panels, rear side panels & tweaters in sails) in the 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe -non-Bose - base model? What is the power rating of the factory stereo system. What are your top three 2-way coaxial 4-ohm speaker recommendations?
Tim, Difficult to say, really. Factory options packages can be hard to fathom sometimes. The good news is that it's not hard to add those features with an aftermarket stereo.
Why is it that my 06 g35x has hands free calling, and bose but I don't have the sat radio option or handfree streaming?
Steve, Good guess! The amplifier is located on the underside of the rear deck, just to the right of the sub.
where is the amplifier? is it in that black box to the right of the subwoofer?
Harlin, Yes, all the speakers are run by the amplifier.
Are all the speakers ran to the amp in the trunk or just the 8" subwoofer?


Some might be wondering where did Applicable2U go since the summer time. Yes, I have been "ed app missing in action" but have made a brief return for my friends at Artgig Apps. Over the last few months, Artgig Apps has been busy and certainly making their mark in the app world. If you aren't familiar with Artgig Apps, they are known for Shake-A-Phrase, Alien Buddies, Marble Math and Marble Math Jr. Recently, Common Sense Media and CTR (Children's Technology Review) awarded Marble Math and Marble Math Jr. for excellence in design and "must have" apps on your device. Today the celebration continues as they launch in the App Store, Mystery Math Town. Mystery Math Town is intended to be used with children ages 6-12 years old. In order to visit this mysterious town, users must have an iPad device running iOS 5 or later. It's perfect for home and school usage as it allows for multiple accounts and customization of user skills while meeting grade level Common Core State Standards. While on this island, players will use their mathematical knowledge of addition, subtraction and multiplication in order to unlock rooms, windows and secret passage ways. Your child(ren) will be completely engaged from the very beginning as they create their own quirky avatar. If any of my readers have been to Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom lately, you may have noticed a new technical integration of talking paintings that guide you through the park in order to solve a mystery. While exploring Mystery Math Town on my device this memory of Magic Kingdom came to mind as I opened doors, zipped down stairs and interacted with talking paintings or animated objects within each room while doing math. Learn to build numerical sentences and fact families with numbers, dice, and tally marks. With a clean and easy to navigate design, users will be developing strategies and building their critical thinking skills along the way.
Before your mystery can begin, users will not want to miss the chance to design their own avatar, swipe through a variety choices. What type of hat/hair, eyes or mouth will your child(ren) choose? Once created, no avatar is set in stone, it can be altered at anytime. Differentiate a players experience by selecting those skills that will be incorporated during their mystery.
CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6 Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
Yes, Mystery Math Town has been added to a large list of educational math apps. However, this truly is unlike any other math app that I have experienced. It is so much more than clicking the sum, difference or product. It's about understanding properties of math, working with equations, and building fluency. Recently, I had a fourth grade student visit this mysterious town, at the end I asked him what he thought. He said, "This is an AWESOME app." In addition, his classroom teacher was very impressed at how it meets the needs of students at grade level and those needing additional support within an inclusionary educational model. Take the time to download Mystery Math Town TODAY by simply clicking here. You won't regret it!
As summer nears, parents and educators will find readily available a list of recommended "summer reading" on school district and library webpages. Although it may be summer and school is out, ones love of reading should not disappear. Whether you are in school or out, reading should be apart of your daily routine. The way society reads has certainly changed over the years. Several years ago, in order to get access to the latest collection of books, individuals had to visit their local bookstore or library. Today's bookstore or library has a very different feel, as you can visit it virtually now as an app on your mobile device or from your home computer via a web browser. Whether you are a MAC or PC person, everyone is familiar with Apples virtual library, iBooks. It is equipped with a large collection to choose from ranging in Arts & Entertainment, Parenting, Textbooks, and Science & Nature books. You might be wondering, what category do children's literature fall under? Well wonder no more! As of late, we were introduced to the developers from LLC "Kinderbook". Kinderbook apps is a team of unusual elves – a Commander, Librarian, Protector, and a Software Engineer. Together they launched back in April of this year KiddoBook. KiddoBook is the child's version of a virtual/downloadable library much like iBook is for adults. It is compatible with your iPad device running iOS 3.2 or later. Currently, the Kiddobook central library app can be downloaded to your iPad in six different languages. Encourage your child ages 3-8 to love all types of books from fantasy, educational books and both classical and new stories with this free download.
Books can be experienced in a variety of formats. Depending on your child's reading level, they can be subtitled and read by professional actors, read by a parent or the child themselves. Each page is filled with beautiful illustrations, a variety of colorful details and vocabulary and lessons to be learned. It is important to note that those books viewed on your Kiddobook app are only interactive with the turn of every page. Navigate the story from beginning to end at your own pace as you stop to discussion various types of questions or predictions. Unlike other books read via your mobile device, Kiddobooks does not offer the option of highlighting words as they are read, however, it would certainly be a suggestion we would love to see added in a future update. For this review we downloaded both free ebooks, however, one book was on the top shelf, while the other was at the bottom. Is there anyway that all downloaded books could be organized together on one's shelf? A great interactive idea to get the readers involved with organizing their own bookshelf would be to allow users to drag and drop books into place. An interesting way to make your bookshelf your own. Users could simply drag and drop books according to their favorites titles or story lines.
Overall, we loved exploring KiddoBook for our iPad device. It is not unusual that a child will model what they see their parent(s) doing as they explore their mobile device. There is no need to stuff your travel bag, book bag or tote with tons of heavy books anymore. Instead, stuff your KiddoBook app virtual bookshelf with a variety of genre. Your back will thank you! If you would like to learn more about LLC "Kinderbook", please visit their support page here. If the adults get access to iBooks, then why not add a similar, kid friendly version called KiddoBook to your iPad device today for free! To begin downloading, simply click here.
This review will also be featured on Fun Educational Apps site along with several other detailed app reviews.
Marble Math and Marble Math Jr.
On a daily basis I am amazed at how many things from my childhood are coming back into style. From the clothing and hair styles that my students wear to the games that they are playing with. Games come in all formats and the most popular are those found on your mobile device. If you are familiar with Applicable2U, then you know my students and child game for a reason. Educational apps need to meet curriculum needs as it applies to those grade level standards and of course their exposure needs to also keep my audience engaged while having fun! Today's review brings back marbles, mazes which move, a hint of pinball and math all in one. Artgig Apps are no stranger to the app world with such app titles as Being Benny, Shake A Phrase, Alien Buddies and now two math applications, Marble Math and Marble Math Jr. Each with a similar design but targets two age level populations. Marble Math focuses on core math concepts for those ages 9-12. While Marble Math Jr. focuses on those core math skills for ages 5-8. Both are designed for your iPad and iPhone device running iOS 4.0 or later. Navigate yourself through leveled mazes as you collect mathematical answers and hidden treasures but be sure to stay away from a few unwanted hiccups.
Both versions of Marble Math are equipped with a clean, easy to navigate design. Very quickly you can individualize your child's experience from the main menu by selecting the cogwheel and wrench icons. Developers have included two ways to "play". Depending on your child's learning needs, they can roll a colorful marble with the touch of their finger or the motion of their iPad. Turn stumbling blocks like a boxing glove, banana peel or blob of goo on or off. Each application is pre-installed with a large collection of marbles, however, only one is unlocked. Unlock additional marbles by simply collecting correct answers and finding the end to each maze board. Experience math in a playful way over the course of three levels; easy, medium or hard. Not sure which level your child or student may fall into? Not to worry! Get an educational map of concepts by clicking on the wrench icon from the main menu. Customize your child's learning experience by selecting those areas in need of reinforcement or mastery. Each educational app is equipped with academically appropriate skills.
At the completion of games, your child's scores are recorded for each level in a table format. As levels or skills are repeated, see how your child's score increases over time. A note to the developers – in a future update, might it be possible to provide parents and/or educators a more detailed report. This would inform future instruction and reinforcement. In addition, have you thought to provide multiple user accounts for those homes which have only one device but multiple children or schools with a limited number of devices in a classroom environment. Regardless of which version of Marble Math you download, marble manipulation and screen view is similar. At the top of the screen users will find the question. Most of the screen is devoted to the maze. As answers are collected, they will be dropped to the blank strip at the bottom, acting like a "show work" area. In addition, users will be able to keep an eye on the number of lives they have left, 3 is the norm, but additional lives can be collected. A note to the developers – when exploring in Marble Math Jr. might it be possible to include a question reading option if working independently and reading has not been mastered. Whether you use your finger tip to roll your marble around the maze or the motion of your iPad, if an incorrect answer is selected a pop up window will appear. Here users will be able to "try again, show me, or move onto the next question." It appears that your collected score will not be effected when incorrect answers are chosen. If a user chooses to try again, they will be given another chance at the same question which caused them problems. Repetition of skills is the key to ones success! To support all learning styles, developers have chosen not to include a timing feature. While playing online or mobile device games, some students find a countdown clock frustrating and distracting. However, in order to challenge some students, those "high flyers", a timing option might be just what they are looking for in the later elementary years.
Overall, Applicable2U would give Marble Math and Marble Math Jr. two thumbs up! Although we have provided some suggestions, it is still very engaging, interactive and academically appropriate for your child ages 5-12. How many free rides, crowns, or magic wands will your son or daughter collect while recognizing numbers, exploring operations, and building their awareness of time, fractions and money? If you would like to learn more about Artgig Apps, please visit their website here. To begin building your academic marble collection, download Marble Math TODAY for only $1.99 by simply clicking here. Marble Math Jr. can be downloaded by clicking here.


Fab for fancy outfits these Crested Bell Hair Pins combine satin edged voile ribbons with a cute plastic crown adorned with crystals on. There is a enamel charm hanging from each one which has pretty flowers on each one.

The Chicago Blackhawks took action on Monday, banning a few fans from team home games after their involvement in directing racist chants at Washington Capitals forward Devante Smith-Pelly on Saturday.
"Racist comments and other inappropriate behavior are not tolerated by the Chicago Blackhawks," the Blackhawks said in a post.
Four Blackhawks fans were kicked out of Saturday's game against the Capitals at United Center after racially-charged taunts were made toward Smith-Pelly.
Smith-Pelly, serving a five-minute major for fighting in the third period, got upset with a fan next to him who, according to the Washington Post, was chanting, "Basketball, basketball, basketball," toward Smith-Pelly, who is black.
On Monday, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville spoke about the incident.
Anthony Duclair, who is black, also spoke to the media.
"Last night in Chicago, individuals directed racial taunts and abuse at Washington Capitals player Devante Smith-Pelly," said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. "The National Hockey League condemns this unacceptable and reprehensible behavior. The League fully supports the actions taken by the United Center and the Blackhawks to eject the offenders and would expect the same response to any similarly unacceptable behavior at any of our arenas.


Buckle up for a long, long post! There's a lot to discuss.
I wanted to a do bit of a different Weight Watchers update because my weight is still up and down. Meal prepping and pilates are still helping but my willpower has just not improved. If I do cheat, I have been using my weekly points no matter how high the food is worth.
I need to be more inspired and maybe if I drop a few more pounds, and see some improvement I'll be more motivated. I'm stuck in this 3-4 pound ladder and I'm tired of it. UGH.
So, instead of the typical update, I'm going to break down what I eat in a week, but first... Weight Watchers announced HUGE changes on Monday Morning.
The company is no longer 'Weight Watchers' - it's now called WW USA. They have now rebranded as a wellness company because they are on their way to becoming one of the top wellness companies in the world. They've always been the top weight loss company in the world so it was time to change direction.
I'm unsure how I feel about the change; it doesn't seem like it will affect our weight loss journies too much but only add to it, which is exciting! Read here for more info!
Egg Muffins: I make my own little egg muffins with biscuits, eggs, and bacon. They are so delicious and really fill me up. I count them as only 1-1.5 points and it seems to be working!
Lunch is my biggest issue because I hate eating lunch. When I'm at work I put off eating lunch as much as possible -- sometimes eating as late as 4 PM. I'm not sure why I hate it but I think the main reason is that I never know what to eat. I finally have some sort of routine when it comes to an at work lunch.
Dinner was always an easy, healthy meal for me because of my mom and sister. They are chronic healthy eaters so my dinners are never as bad as any other meal. It was easiest to transition to Weight Watchers dinners and helped that at the beginning my mom did Weight Watchers with me.
*We usually stick to meat-based dinners as my mom and sister like to stay away from pasta.
So yes... that's just a rundown of my weekly meals. I tend to be a creature of habit and eat the same things time and time again, which gets annoying and why I get frustrated. That is the life of a picky eater on Weight Watchers!
If you have any advice on better meals, please let me know!

Ankyloblepharon is defined as the adhesion of the edges of the upper eyelid with the lower eyelid. Ankyloblepharon must be differentiated from blepharophimosis, in which palpebral aperture is reduced and there is telecanthus, but the eyelid margins are normal. Another condition similar to ankyloblepharon is symblepharon, in which the palpebral conjunctiva is attached to the bulbar conjunctiva. Recognition of ankyloblepharon necessitates systemic examination to detect associated abnormalities such as genitourinary and cardiac abnormalities and syndactyly.

Presentation

Complication
The main complication of congenital ankyloblepharon is amblyopia.  Timely separation of the eyelids is very important to avoid the development of occlusion amblyopia.

Etiology
Ankyloblepharon may be congenital or acquired. The most common type is congenital.

Clinically, ankyloblepharon may be complete, partial, or interrupted. Complete ankyloblepharon is when the eyelids are fused throughout the lid margins. In the partial form, they are joined at one or more points. The interrupted form is also known as ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA).

Congenital ankyloblepharon
During fetal development, eyelid margins remain fused until the fifth gestational month, and may not be completely separated until the seventh month of gestation. Congenital ankyloblepharon occurs when the lid margins fail to separate at birth. The exact etiology of this condition is unknown. The currently accepted theory is that this condition is due to temporary epithelial arrest and rapid mesenchymal proliferation, allowing union of eyelids at abnormal positions.

Systemic associations
Congenital ankyloblepharon is seen in association with:
 Hay–Wells syndrome: Ankyloblepharon-Ectodermal dysplasia-Clefting (AEC) syndrome also known as Hay-Wells syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by ankyloblepharon, ectodermal dysplasia, and cleft palate and/or cleft lip.
 Curly hair–ankyloblepharon–nail disease (CHAND) syndrome: it  is a clinical variant of AEC syndrome.  It is also known as Baughman syndrome.
 Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome): AFA may be seen in association with trisomy 18.
 Popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS): Popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, first described by Trelat in 1869. The clinical features of the syndrome are highly variable and show different combinations of anomalies like cleft palate, cleft lip, lower lip pits or sinuses, popliteal webbing, syndactyly, genitourinary anomalies, nail anomalies, syngnathia, ankyloblepharon, talipes, and digital reduction defects.

Acquired ankyloblepharon
Acquired ankyloblepharon may occur due to trauma or inflammatory conditions. It may be associated with symblepharon also. The following conditions cause ankyloblepharon:
 Chemical burns, thermal burns, or trauma to the eyes
 Cicatrising diseases such as Stevens–Johnson syndrome or cicatricial ocular pemphigoid
 Inflammatory diseases such as herpes simplex infection or ulcerative blepharitis
 Trachoma
 Cicatricial conjunctivitis
 Mucous membrane pemphigoid: ocular form of mucous membrane pemphigoid may cause ankyloblepharon (4th stage of foster grading system).

Treatment
Lids should be separated by excision of adhesions between the lid margins and kept apart during the healing process. When adhesions extend to the angles, epithelial grafts should be given to prevent recurrences.

History
Ankyloblepharon was first described by von Anmmon in 1841. Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA), the interrupted form of Ankyloblepharon, was first described by Von Hasner in 1881.

Etymology
The word ankyloblepharon is derived from Greek ankylos (ἀγκύλος) 'bent, crooked, closed' and blepharon (βλέφαρον) 'eyelid'.

Q: bindTo rx_text of a UITextField did not trigger the UITextField's emit event I'm a new one to learn RxSwift.
I modified the Simple Numbers example in the RxSwift Example App, which will add three numbers into a result number.
I add a testStr UITextField, and an upperCase UILabel. I map testStr to uppercase and bindTo the upperCase label, that's good. And I also map testStr to its length, and bindTo the num1 field. Strange things happen, although the contents of the num1 field changes, it does not emit any event, so it has no effect on the result label. Even if I input some number into another number field, the result number does not count the num1.
Have I made any wrong use of bindTo? In what way can I make the num1 emit an event?
Thanks!!!
@IBOutlet weak var num1: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var num2: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var num3: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var result: UILabel!

@IBOutlet weak var testStr: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var upperCase: UILabel!

let disposeBag = DisposeBag()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    Observable.combineLatest(num1.rx_text, num2.rx_text, num3.rx_text) {
        (textval1, textval2, textval3) -> Int in
            return (Int(textval1) ?? 0) + (Int(textval2) ?? 0) + (Int(textval3) ?? 0)
        }
        .map{$0.description}
        .bindTo(result.rx_text)
        .addDisposableTo(disposeBag)

    let obStr = testStr.rx_text

    obStr
        .map {$0.uppercaseString}
        .bindTo(upperCase.rx_text)
        .addDisposableTo(disposeBag)

    obStr
        .map{ $0.characters.count }
        .map{ $0.description }
        .bindTo(num1.rx_text)
        .addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
}

A: You need to use a Subject such as Variable to store the value.  You can see an example of this in this answer in the section called Using Variables.
The reason it doesn't work is because rx_text will only omit a next element when it's changed by the user, not programmatically (as you're doing). This is because rx_text is really using this method from UIControl to get notified of changes to the field:
public class UIControl : UIView {
    public func addTarget(target: AnyObject?, action: Selector, forControlEvents controlEvents: UIControlEvents)
}

However, that method does not call the action method on target when the change happens programmatically.  Only when it happens due to a user changing something.
So, you should see a next event if you were to change the field programmatically and then the user were to tap into (or out of) the field.  However, that's not what you want.
Instead, refer to that answer I linked you to and it will work.

Q: Connecting Raspberry PI 3 with Android Things to Arduino My question is about how to communicate Android of Things applications with Arduino. I want to use all the arsenal of sweet sweet cheap Arduino sensors on my Android of Things projects. I have found two source links and tried but I didn't get values.

class Arduino(uartDevice: String = "UART0"): AutoCloseable {
    private val TAG = "Arduino"
    private val uart: UartDevice by lazy {
        PeripheralManagerService().openUartDevice(uartDevice).apply {
            setBaudrate(115200)
            setDataSize(8)
            setParity(UartDevice.PARITY_NONE)
            setStopBits(1)
        }
    }

    fun read(): String {
        val maxCount = 8
        val buffer = ByteArray(maxCount)
        var output = ""
        do {
            val count = uart.read(buffer, buffer.size)
            output += buffer.toReadableString()
            if(count == 0) break
            Log.d(TAG, "Read ${buffer.toReadableString()} $count bytes from peripheral")
        } while (true)
        return output
    }

    private fun ByteArray.toReadableString() = filter { it > 0.toByte() }
            .joinToString(separator = "") { it.toChar().toString() }

    fun write(value: String) {
        val count = uart.write(value.toByteArray(), value.length)
        Log.d(TAG, "Wrote $value $count bytes to peripheral")
    }

    override fun close() {
        uart.close()
    }
}

I have found this Raspberry Pi to Arduino Communication source on stack but the discussion is not related to my question. I want all the values from arduino to android things RPI 3.
How we can get values from arduino through android framework using java?

A: The Pi and Arduino have a variety of communication protocols embedded in them. The simplest way would be exchanging data over UART.
Your Arduino code could continually transfer data and the Pi could have code to receive it. If your data doesn't fit in a single byte you could write additional custom logic to encode and decode it.


We had to take a trip into the ER yesterday morning due to Mr. Sickly not eating or drinking any fluids due to his bad stomach bug. This is the first time that Mari's been sick like this before. The last time he was out of commission was when he had Hand-Foot-Mouth when he was two. I started getting worried about him yesterday morning when he refused to take a sip of water, tea I made for him, or even Gatorade. As the morning progressed he started looking rather lethargic, his eyes were extremely sunken, and when he would cry there were no tears. In about 24 hours he had drank only a cup of water and had a few bites of food. I called the on-call nurse for advice after Amari almost collapsed walking from the loo to the couch. Poor thing. After multiple phone calls and talks with the doctor they told us to take him into the Emergancy Room. After about an hour of sitting he managed to eat a few crackers and a popsicle for the nurse. The doctor checked him out and monitored him but didn't see any reason to give him an IV. We headed home after our ER visit and Amari chowed down on more popsicles and was able to take in more fluids. His appetite is slowly starting to come back but he still has a bad case of diarrhea. Looks like he won't be at school again tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that little boy gets better and doesn't pass this mean ol' stomach bug on to his little brother.


The focus for eating during exercise is on carbohydrates, especially sources of glucose and electrolytes. If exercise lasts longer than an hour, it is necessary to consume an additional 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour of activity.
The focus during initial recovery is on carbohydrates, especially within 15 to 30 minutes after the activity, when cells are especially receptive to the uptake of glucose.
During this time, athletes should consume 1.0 to 1.5 g/kg of a rapid-acting carbohydrate or a ratio of 4 grams of carbohydrate to 1 gram of protein (eg. low fat chocolate milk).
After 30 minutes, the focus should be on a mixed meal with adequate carbohydrates, protein and fat.

Vintage film noir gets a confidently stylish upgrade in this subtle domestic thriller, intensified by Tilda Swinton's acclaimed performance as a mother who risks everything to protect her family. Adapted from Elisabeth Sanxay Holding's story The Blank Wall (previously filmed as 1949's The Reckless Moment), the film's gripping plot commences with Margaret (Swinton), a naval officer's wife and mother of three, disposing of the body of a sleazy club owner, who died in an accident after a confrontation with Margaret's closeted gay son. Maternal instinct shifts into high gear when a blackmailer (Goran Visnjic) demands $50,000 to withhold incriminating evidence, and his unspoken feelings provoke an unexpectedly compassionate alliance. Compelling plot twists aside, The Deep End gains much of its impact from the quiet desperation of a family defined by its secrets and rescued by the mysterious motivations of the human heart.

Ram Charan, who turned producer with his father Megastar Chiranjeevi's 150th movie Khaidi No 150, is currently bankrolling his next upcoming 151st film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, which is progressing at brisk pace in the direction of Surender Reddy of Dhruva Fame. Ram Charan, the producer of Sye Raa, has brought popular character artist Sai Chand on the board to play an important role. After a long gap of 28 years, Sai Chand made his comeback in Telugu film Industry with romantic entertainer Fidaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula, in which Sai Pallavi and Mega Prince Varun Tej played the lead role and the movie was hit at the box office. Sai Chand played the role of Sai Pallavi's father in Fidaa and now he is going to share the screen space with Megastar Chiranjeevi in upcoming big budget multilingual periodic drama Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy.
It is known news that Chiranjeevi is playing the role of freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimhareddy in Sye Raa and recently on the occasion of Chiranjeevi's birthday, the maker released the first look poster and teaser, which received thumbing response. Interestingly, both Chiranjeevi and Sai Chand are reuniting after 36 years since the release of their 1982 film, Manchu Pallaki. In Ram Charan's Sye Raa, Sai Chand will be seen playing a close aid to Uyyalawada Narasimhareddy. Recently the makers shot few crucial scenes in which Sai Chand and Chiranjeevi Participated. Apart from them, Sye Raa has other stars like Lady Superstar Nayantara, Tamannah Bhatia, Bollywood Megastar Chiranjeevi, Vijay Sethupathi, Sudeep, Prakash Raj and others in supporting roles. NIharika Konidela, the niece of Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan, will be seen playing a Kathkali dancer in Sye Raa, which is scheduled to hit the theaters in 2019.
Meanwhile Ram Charan is busy in his next upcoming movie RC12, which is progressing in the direction of Boyapati Srinu and Sai Pallavi is romancing with sharwanand in Padi Padi Leche Manasu, being helmed by Hanu Raghavapudi.


In our religion, the acts of worship have a body and a soul, just like human beings. In other words, they have an outer aspect and an inner aspect, or an appearance and a conscience. The appearance of the acts of worship is basically their rituals; however, their conscience is the training purposes which lead to nearness to Allah (SWT). In order to fulfill this purpose, the rituals do not suffice; rather one has to observe its manners. For example, if a person performs the actions and saying of prayer yet his mind is occupied with worldly issues, he will certainly be deprived of the training purposes of praying, namely refraining from sins(2), nearness to Allah (SWT)(3), and cleansing of soul from impurity of sin(4).
Similarly, fasting has rituals (like refraining from eating, drinking, and some other joys) as well as training purposes including strengthening of faith and will power, and fighting against desires as well as Satan. If the training purposes are not fulfilled, their consequence which is piety (5) will not be achieved, and such an act will not save one from the Hell or act as a shield against hellfire (6). Therefore, in the Islamic Hadiths, great emphasis has been put on observing the conscience of the acts of worship such as praying and fasting. By doing so, one will not only fulfill his obligation through observing the rituals, but also his act of worship will reach the level of acceptance.
In addition, inadmissible acts are barriers against the acceptance of deeds. For example, backbiting (7), drinking intoxicants (8), using properties unlawfully (9) and similar acts would prevent the good deeds from being accepted for a certain period of time. One of the major requirements for the acceptance of deeds is submitting to the guardianship of the Ahl al-Bait (PBUT) (10), without which the acts of worship are spiritless.
This deep statement refers to all the above discussed barriers against acceptance of deeds. There are people who fast, yet they commit several types of sins; they oppress others, take their properties unlawfully, disgrace other Muslims, and hurt innocent people by backbiting or accusing them. Such people will definitely get nothing out of their fasting except hunger and thirst. Similarly, there are people who worship at nights yet gain nothing from their nightly worships.
This statement is apparently taken from the third verse of Chapter 88 of the Holy Quran where Allah (SWT) describes the situation of the sinners by saying," Laboring (hard), weary (with no gain)". The reason for it is that they neither had sufficient insight do perform the deeds, nor fulfilled its preconditions. They did not remove the barriers against the acceptance of their needs. Even if they had gained benefits from their previous deeds, they nullified them by committing sins.
When we study the history of the Khawarij, we realize the depth of this valuable statement of Amir al-Mu'minin (PBUH). According to the history, the Khawarij used to slain innocent people, cut the wombs of pregnant women, and even considered killing of Amir al-Mu'minin (PBUH) to be obligatory, even though the voice of their Quran recitation and nightly supplications was continuously heard.
At the end of this statement, Amir al-Mu'minin (PBUH) admires wise people who have understood the reality of worship; they are pious, learned people who observe the spirit of worship and its manners. They gain nearness to Allah (PBUH) even though they do not perform many recommended acts and suffice to the mandatory acts.
The Roshd Webiste offers congratulations to all Muslims, especially you dear friend, upon the arrival of the month of worship and obedience, the time of forgiveness and mercy, the Holy month of Ramadan.

Indonesia rolls out new regulations to step up fight against Covid-19 outbreak

https://str.sg/JYPo
JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Tuesday (March 31) approved new regulations that came into immediate effect with the goal of curbing the novel coronavirus outbreak in the country, including a 405.1 trillion rupiah (S$35.22 billion) increase in the state budget to cater to exigent expenses such as spending on health equipment.
In a televised address, Mr Joko said he had signed a "Perppu" - a government regulation that becomes effective immediately and is treated as legally binding, thereby circumventing Parliament - on financial policies and stability of the financial system amid the Covid-19 outbreak, which has so far sickened more than 1,500 people and killed more than 130 across Indonesia.
Out of the additional funds to be provided in the state budget, 75 trillion rupiah has been earmarked for the purchase of testing kits, reagents, personal protective equipment, and masks, among other health-related expenditures.
Besides that, 110 trillion rupiah will be used to provide a social security net, 70.1 trillion rupiah will go towards fiscal incentives and credit for businesses, and 150 trillion rupiah will be used for economic recovery.
The new regulations will allow the government to widen the 2020 budget deficit to 5.07 per cent of GDP.
In addition, Mr Joko declared a public health emergency in Indonesia through a Keppres - a presidential decree that enables the implementation of civil emergency measures - as well as a PP, a government regulation that lays out the guidelines for "large scale social distancing".
The regulations are intended to contain the spread of Covid-19 at the provincial, regency and city levels through coordinated efforts with the virus task force at the centre.
"With the issuance of this PP, regional leaders should not issue uncoordinated policies. All policies at the regional level must comply with the regulations and refer to PP and Keppres," said Mr Joko.
The government has been under pressure to impose a lockdown in Indonesia, but Mr Joko has resisted so far due to social and economic concerns.

Over last three decades, the global energy fuel mix has undergone a major shift with increasing use of natural gas. Natural gas has assumed a sizable position as fuel for industrial, power and transportation requirements. India has also witnessed a rapid rise in usage of natural gas over last half a decade or so. Gepdec is at the forefront of this technology and is among the first players to enter the lucrative city gas distribution business in the country.
Because of its chemical bonding property (having only one carbon atom for four hydrogen atoms), natural gas enjoys the lowest carbon to hydrogen ratio, resulting in a clean burn with lower emission than any other fuel. The emission of all polluting gasses as well as particulate matters decreases tremendously by using natural gas. Also compressed natural gas (CNG) is lead and benzene free, making it even more environmentally friendly.
Over last three decades, the global energy fuel mix has undergone a major shift with increasing use of natural gas. Natural gas has assumed a sizable position as fuel for industrial, power and transportation requirements. Traditionally, natural gas has been consumed extensively in industrialized world. However, China and India are emerging as major new markets for natural gas.
With new gas findings in KG basin, there is a renewed interest in application of natural gas in India. The government of India has accorded high priority on natural gas and has been promoting the use of the same in power, industry as well as transportation. PNGRB (petroleum and natural gas regulatory board) has embarked on an ambitious program of awarding cities for development of natural gas network. In addition to this City Gas Distribution plan, there are major plans afoot to link major consumption centers through cross country pipeline network.
Gepdec has identified gas distribution through pipelines has been identified as a sunrise infrastructure sector. We are amongst the first private sector players to get into this segment and are currently involved in laying gas pipeline for PNG (Pressurized Natural Gas) in western region of the state of UP. Planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining a sustainable gas distribution project is a highly complex and challenging job. We are at the forefront of this technology and aim to be one of the topmost gas distributors in the country.
However, we are not satisfied with just setting up city gas networks. We intend to move towards both forward integration in gas business by setting up gas based power plants and backward integration by entering into cross country pipeline network.

Our mission is simple, but powerful.
Our hope is to change the face of Christianity. Our desires are to...
Recover the treasure of the Gospel
Transform the lives of men and women
Teach men and women to walk with God
While living it ourselves
Equip men to rescue others
Provide ongoing nourishment
Show the way to new wineskins
We agree with A.W. Tozer, "That our idea of God corresponds as nearly as possible to the true being of God is of immense importance to us. Compared with our actual thoughts about Him, our creedal statements are of little consequence. Our real idea of God may lie buried under the rubbish of conventional religious notions and may require an intelligent and vigorous search before it is finally unearthed and exposed for what it is."
In other words, if you want to know what a person (or an organization) really believes, their creeds may not tell you nearly as much as how they live. Or perhaps, how they pray.
The core of what we believe, live in, and teach may be best captured in our daily prayer.
For those needing/desiring a few more thoughts:
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only, infallible, inerrant, authoritative Word of God.
We believe in the One True God, the Sovereign, eternal Creator of all that exists, both seen and unseen. God is eternally existent in three persons, yet one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe God created mankind in His image. Adam and Eve, the first human beings, chose to rebel against God and go their own way. As a result, all of mankind became separated from God; the image of God in man was distorted; mankind became subject to the power of the devil; and the sinful nature was passed on to all their progeny. Because of original sin, unregenerate human beings are incapable of pleasing or commending themselves to God. The only remedy for mankind's pitiful predicament is redemption through faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that when a person exercises saving faith in Christ he passes, immediately, out of spiritual death into spiritual life and from the old creation into the new, a new nature and a new heart imparted; being justified freely by grace, he is accepted before the Father as Christ, His Son, is accepted and loved as Christ is loved, having his place and portion linked to Christ and one with Christ—forever.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost—they who are saved unto the resurrection of life and they who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
John Eldredge is an author (you probably figured that out), a counselor, and a teacher. He is also president of Wild at Heart, a ministry devoted to helping people discover the heart of God, recover their own hearts in God's love, and learn to live in God's Kingdom. John grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles (which he hated) and spent his boyhood summers on his grandfather's cattle ranch in eastern Oregon (which he loved). John met his wife, Stasi, in a high school drama class. But their romance did not begin until they each came to faith in Christ, after high school. John earned his undergraduate degree in Theater at Cal Poly and directed a theater company in Los Angeles for several years before moving to Colorado with Focus on the Family, where he taught at the Focus on the Family Institute.
John earned his master's degree in Counseling from Colorado Christian University, under the direction of Larry Crabb and Dan Allender. He worked as a counselor in private practice before launching Wild at Heart in 2000. John and Stasi live in Colorado Springs. They have three sons (Samuel, Blaine, and Luke), two golden retrievers (Oban and Maisie), and two horses (Whistle and Kokolo).
While all of this is factually true, it somehow misses describing an actual person. John loves the outdoors passionately, and all beauty, Shakespeare, bow hunting, a good cigar, anything having to do with adventure, poetry, March Madness, working in the shop, fly fishing, classic rock, the Tetons, fish tacos, George MacDonald, green tea, buffalo steaks, dark chocolate, wild and open places, horses running, and too much more to name. He also uses the expression "far out" way too much.
Stasi Eldredge
Stasi Eldredge loves writing and speaking to women about the goodness of God. She spent her childhood years in Prairie Village, Kansas, for which she is truly grateful. Her family moved to southern California back in the really bad smog days when she was ten. She loved theater and acting and took a partiality to her now-husband, John, when they were friends in high school. Stasi earned her bachelor's degree in Sociology from San Diego State University, which she attended primarily because it was close to the beach. She became a Christian her junior year in college and dove into the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. After graduating, Stasi joined Youth for Christ, heading up a ministry to pregnant teenagers and teen mothers. She has been active in ministry ever since, including theater ministry, crisis pregnancy center ministry, women's ministry, and children's ministry. The Eldredge family moved to Colorado in 1991.
Stasi loves the joy and freedom that comes from knowing the passionate, stunning love of Jesus Christ and lives to see others come to know him more deeply. She loves worship music, time to bake, celebrating life, getting lost in a good novel, baths, walking in the woods, hearing her sons' laughter, the sound of wind in the trees, a good cup of coffee, the smell of the earth after it rains, a powerful turn of phrase, animals in the wild, gardens, freshly mowed grass, family traditions, cherished friendships, the Tetons, rivers, mountain lakes, the grace and beauty of horses, the affection of her dog, and most of all, her family and her God.
Brad Beck
Brad is the Executive Director and a board member for Wild at Heart, where he oversees most of the administrative, HR, and operations for the ministry. Brad's varied background includes being a physician who worked for NASA, mission work with YWAM, and working with Focus on the Family as a medical advisor. Brad has been bringing his organizational, leadership, and cat-herding skills to these various roles over the 12 years he has been at Wild at Heart.
Bart Hansen
Bart Hansen is a founding board member of Wild at Heart. Shortly after the ministry began, he was invited to join the team as Director of Discipleship and a vice president on the leadership team. He also has a speaking role in the men's events. Before he made a career transition to ministry, Bart was a principal and co-owner of Shawntana Development Corporation and Nieupointe Enterprises, which have developed housing and commercial properties in southern California for over 25 years. Bart was involved in bringing affordable housing solutions to that region of the country in both for-profit and non-profit sectors. He was a founding board member of HomeAid, which provides housing for the homeless and has grown to a national presence; he's also the chairman of the board of directors of the Orange County Rescue Mission in California.
One thing that deeply stirs Bart's heart is the continued pursuit of his bride. They met running in Texas 40 years ago, and Bart has been chasing Tannah ever since! Bart and Tannah have one son, Kris, who is married to Margarett; Kris and Margarett have two sons. Kris is a Marine aviator who picked up his love for flying from Bart at the age of 12 and is now passing that passion along to Bart and Tannah's grandsons.
Many of Bart's adventures have centered on his love for flying, something he incorporates in discipling men in his role at Wild at Heart. He has set aside many of his other interests but still loves golf, bird hunting, and shooting sporting clays. Bart also loves building all kinds of things—a house, workshop, aircraft hangar, or the airplane in it. But the building that turns his crank the most is building the Kingdom into the hearts of people.
Morgan Snyder
Morgan Snyder has served alongside John Eldredge since before the inception of Wild at Heart almost two decades ago. Originally developing and directing the retreats and conferences, Morgan now serves as a speaker, teacher, and Director of Strategy.
He is married to an extraordinary woman, Cherie, and finds great joy in adventuring with his 15-year-old son, Joshua, and his 12-year-old daughter, Abigail. When he's not with his family or on mission, he is most often found on expeditions in the mountains of Colorado.

2017.07 Jennifer Mueller Collection
Title: Jennifer Mueller Collection
Caption: Collection photo # 2017.07.01 - Admiral Albert Cushing Read
Description: Collection of approximately 60 photographs related to Admiral Albert Cushing Read, the majority of which are from later in his career, prior to his retirement in 1946. The images include social events, tours, ceremonies, and group photos. Several early career photos include Read as a lieutenant and commander, including an early photo as young aviator. The collection also consists of many newspaper articles as well as personal letters and official naval records.
Donor: Jennifer Mueller
Biographical:
As a Lieutenant Commander in May 1919, Read commanded a crew of five on the NC-4 Curtiss flying boat, the first aircraft ever to make a transatlantic flight, eight years before Charles Lindbergh's historic solo, non-stop flight, and a couple of weeks before Alcock and Brown's non stop flight. Read's flight started from Rockaway Beach, Long Island, took 23 days before arriving in Plymouth, England. The six stops included layovers at Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland, the Azores, and Lisbon, Portugal. Read is listed as Naval Aviator No. 24.
He commanded naval air stations at Bay Shore, NY, and Miami during WWI and before his record flight, served briefly in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations. Until he retired in 1946, the admiral held several commands, including Chief of Naval Air Technical Training in Chicago and Commander, Air Fleet Atlantic in Norfolk. He also skippered more than 12 ships during his career and his last year of duty was served as Deputy Chief of Naval Air Operations.

there are 136,319 registered Syrian refugees in Turkey.
More than half a million Syrian refugees are now registered or awaiting registration in the region, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) said on Tuesday.
"According to UNHCR's latest figures for Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and North Africa, 509,559 Syrians are either already registered (425,160) or in the process of being registered," UNHCR said in a statement issued in Geneva.
The number of registered Syrian refugees region-wide rose by about 3,200 per day in November, and close to 1,000 Syrians crossed i n to Jordan during the past two nights alone, it said.
Lebanon is now host to 154,387 registered Syrian refugees who have fled the 20-month-old conflict, Jordan has 142,664, Turkey 136,319, Iraq 65,449 and North Africa 11,740, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said.
In addition, large numbers of Syrians have crossed into neighbouring countries but have not yet come forward to register for refugee status and assistance, it said. They include about 100,000 in Jordan, 70,000 each in both Turkey and Egypt and tens of thousands in Lebanon, it said, citing government estimates.


Mike O'Brien, vice president-product planning for Hyundai Motor America, has confirmed that the IONIQ Electric will go on sale this week in the U.S.
The automaker had long-promised that "Winter" would mark the starts of sales for the IONIQ Electric in the U.S. (that is, after a couple of previous delays from the initial target of "Summer" of 2016) , and with this week still being winter, it seems Hyundai will hold to that promise.
Hyundai will take a soft-launch approach with IONIQ Electric. O'Brien says that a bigger marketing campaign and more widespread distribution will get underway in March 2017.
No sales target has been announced.
The plug-in hybrid version of IONIQ is now expected to go on sale in the U.S. in September 2017.
These results are well above the automaker's expected combined rating of 125 MPGe and in fact make IONIQ Electric the most efficient car in the U.S. It even beats the updated 133 MPGe rating of the Toyota Prius Prime.
69 Comments on "Hyundai IONIQ Electric To Go On Sale In U.S. This Week"
Like with the Optima PHV last month, the "soft launch" means that the car itself pretty much beats the site update/announcement on pricing. So ETA on that is 'very soon' I guess, lol.
Tesla road warrior Bjorn Nyland tested and loves the Norway version of the Ioniq. He calls it the best economy EV he has ever driven, with a cheaper version of most of the features of the Tesla Model S. Its price in Norway is about 1/3 an S or X. (See his youtube video channel test just before Christmas 2016). The Ioniq even has a primitive autopilot that lets you take hands off the wheel for several seconds (though I wouldn't risk it).
No word on the MSRP(s) ?
No way they get that from a 28 kWh battery.
I believe that's 28 kWh of usable energy, not gross energy as is stated by most manufacturers.
Didn't Robert Llewelyn reckon you could get 150 miles out of this car during his fully charged review ?
That's interesting. I'm excited to see what the summer result would be.
At these efficiencies somethings like a 40KWh battery would make this a damn near perfect car. Make it happen Hyundai!
Doesn't the unit stop charging well before 100% though? I thought that was what Bjorn Nyland said in one his reviews. That would mess up range expectations, wouldn't it?
When connected to the fast charger it stops at 94% but there is almost no slowdown before this. Way, WAY better than any other EV I have tried apart the Tesla. I thought that others like Bolt stop at 90%.
And about the range – I had a 24kWh Leaf before (SOH 87) and based on all the samples I have so far this car is about twice as good. So, it corresponds to a imaginary 48kWh Leaf.
That's not possible. Not unless you veer far from the EPA test parameters.
I know people are jazzed about this car, but let's not skip from amazement to falsehoods.
The car has a very good drag coefficient and a very efficient electric motor. The efficient motor has a positive effect both when accelerating and recuperating. In addition it is FWD – by having the motor on the front axle it can recuperate more energy when breaking.
+1, couldn't have said it better.
While most of it is true, you forgot a really important part, charging.
All those vehicles have include charging losses. So if the Ioniq has a more efficient charger, it can make up some MPGe just by charging more efficiently. I don't have any numbers on the Ioniq, but the i3 has about 85% on level 1 charging. But I don't know if there is any standard that says which charging station they need to use, for MPGe measurements.
Thats why its not 100% right to say that the only reason why the Ioniq has a better MPGe , because it drives more efficiently. It could also just charge more efficiently.
Vehicle efficiency has never included charging losses, electric transmission losses, or electric generation losses, nor for that matter fueling losses, transportation of fuel losses, or refining losses for an ICE.
The MPGe figure for electric cars is based on power drawn through the plug, so it includes charging losses internal to the car (not EVSE losses).
The EPA considers the wall to wheel efficiency of an electric vehicle, since that's what the consumer pays for. Which actually makes sense. You want to know how much electricity you have to use, to go somewhere. And with charging efficiencies lower than 90% in some cases, wall to wheel is significantly greater than tank to wheel.
In addition to that, it would be a lot harder to measure tank to wheel efficiency in an electric vehicle. They would have to open it up and install their own diagnostic system, between the battery and the inverter, without altering the drivetrain, if they wanted to confirm some manufacturers efficiency claims. Which is close to impossible.
So the EPA has always included charging losses.
The Kia Soul for example is advertised with a 27kwh usable battery but in fact it has a 30.5kwh total battery. We can presume that the IONIQ total battery capacity will be 30.5+kwh for a 28kwh usable capacity.
Glad to see the Ioniq is finally here! If the price is in the low 30k or high 20k then I could see this doing well for itself.
Huh? Cost, maybe. Especially for Teslas and BMWs EVs. But the people who can afford them aren't likely to be deterred by cost.
Where did you find the price? My wife and I saw it at the Detroit auto show and would like to get one.
Great news about the EV. And the city efficiency is amazing. I'm still a bit skeptical of the overall range but I'm ready to be shown I'm wrong.
Bummer about the plug-in bring so far out.
I guess you are referring to the PHEV, since the Electric is a plug in!
When it comes out, it will also be followed by tbe promised 200 mile EV range IONIQ, as well!
If the drag coefficient of the IONIQ is 0.24 and the Model 3 is 0.21 then Model 3 can travel 146 miles on a 28 kWh battery. But Tesla says that it will travel 215 miles on a charge. So working it back words the Model 3 will need a 41 kWh battery for 215 miles. And with a 65 kWh battery the Model 3 will travel 340 miles. That is more than the model S 100D. And that is with one motor, if two are used then it will travel more!
If we use the same linear relationship we can say that if the 41 kWh Model 3 will sell for $35,000 then the 65 kWh will cost about $55,000 and can travel about 350 miles. Not bad at all!
Weight plays a role. You can't take the range of a 28kWh car and apply its efficiency to a 40kWh or 65kWh car.
There's more to range than just drag coefficient and battery size. You need to also factor in weight.
I expect the base Model 3 will be at least 50 kWh and get at least 240 miles. I don't see Tesla allowing the Chevy Bolt to have a greater range, even with the base model. I also expect a top range Model 3 to get over 400 miles per charge.
Also remember that Tesla has a Model S they have to worry about canabalizing sales from. My guess is base Model 3 is 45 kwh with 220 mile range, but anything with 400 mile range will likely be $80k+ to avoid competing with the S. Unless they totally redo those cars to justify their price.
Tesla would be fools to release the M3 with same or better spec than MS/X. Maybe M3 with 4sec 0-60.
If M3 can show reductions in manufacturing cost as expected, then my prediction would be that MS/X will put their increased purchase price into luxury fit and finish.
Just about every brand has budget and luxury models. They all have similar range, and they all have similar utility/functionality, so what sets them apart is quality fit and finish.
Tesla will most likely have no less than two physical batteries for the Model 3, but might offer a lower kWh software limit for base model!
400 mile range for Model 3 may come, but 120 kWh may be in Model S & X first!
It won't get 240 miles from 50kWh. And I don't think the base model ($30K pre-rebate) will get 240 miles. It'd be really hard for Tesla to do that with their heavier cars and induction motors.
I'm sure more than 240 miles will be available as an option.
Ultimately little of this matters since even if Tesla makes such claims you won't be able to get a base model for a long time. They deliver the expensive models first, base models will be out so much later that technology will have advanced further and competing prices dropped significantly.
Weight does not matter that much but the efficiency of the electric motor does. And Tesla's motors (at least in the Model S) are not that good.
P.S. the Model S has Cd of 0.24 (same as ioniq) but it could not do 124 miles with 28kWh.
The frontal area of the Model S is much bigger than either the IONIQ or the Model 3. But both the IONIQ and Model 3 are comparebale in frontal area and rolling resistance from the tiers. Maybe linear in weight too. But as mentioned the weight plays a small part.
Tesla motors are quite good and do not contain any rare earth metals so they are scalable to 100% automotive market share.
Unlike some other motors in niche compliance vehicles.
Really, Tesla doesn't use any rare earth materials in it's motors? Hard to believe with how powerful they are. Engineers of the 2016+ Volt only managed to make the lower powered secondary motor/generator rare earth material free.
Tesla Motors: Copper Core, Copper Windings, No Magnets. Just where are those Rare Earth materials used?
Tesla only uses AC induction motors. This surely uses permanent magnet motors which are more efficient. Tesla won't be able to catch up on efficiency soon.
Elon said 215 miles is a conservative estimate and Tesla believes Mod 3 will go much further. My bet is 250 miles minimum (50kWh), with 300 miles (60kWh) and possibly 400 miles (80 kWh) options. If super supercharger can do 350-400KW a 12-15 minute recharge might be possible.
Ar the philly auto show yesterday there was one Ioniq and it was not a plug in hybrid or full electric. I asked the Hyundai sales rep about a plug in model and was told that the fully electric version will only be available in California and that it's still a year or two away. Which contradicts what i'm reading here right now. Also, the price on the gasoline Ioniq was still TBD at the show yesterday. So i wonder if all 50 states are ever going to get it?
That will be another CCS car on the roads.
Needs to be 150-200 miles.
200 mile range IONIQ EV to come for 2018, as previously shared by the company!
We need Tony Williams to do the 62 mph test. I expect bladder explosion before the Ioniq runs out of charge.
People who have to stop at every McDonald's to relief themselves need to cut down on the beer and soda or else take better care of their Prostate.
What about those of us who no longer have one?
Any word if it will launch under the Ioniq Unlimited plan announced at LA Auto Show?
This should sell well in Ontario as it qualifies for the $14,000 rebate.
Wow really good MPGE. Nice! Better than the Bolt or Prime! Probably aero and more efficient electronics possibly.
Just won't accelerate as quick as the Bolt but that's OK.
Using this platform and a larger battery, makes me think Hyundai won't have too much trouble getting 200 miles out of it.
We've never seen their Hybrid or plugin Hybrid yet in Arizona . I think it might take until the end of 2017 to see the full Electric version. Then we can HEAT test it for them.
OK, but then is the very high efficiency reported still available when using Sport mode? Generally, you can have very high efficiency or high performance, but not both at the same time.
But it's the same for every car: you accelerate faster your mileage goes down.
M3 reserved. - Bolt TBD ?Ioniq?
This is why Bolt is so remarkable of a vehicle. 4.0+ and good sporty 0-60 times with range.
So it is hybrid, EV, or PHEV? Meh. I don't know if these conversions cut it any more.
Saying it's on sale and saying it's on sale nationwide are two different things.
I'm not planning on flying to the west coast for a test drive.
This is a fantastic entry by Hyundai. Assuming they price it aggressively, as is the norm for the company, and assuming they build as many as they can sell (big question), then this car could sell a lot of copies.
This is such a great car. I test drove it around 0C, 32F and was able to get 125 miles of mixed driving even at those temperatures. Definitely possible to get up towards 160 miles in warmer temperatures and below 60mph!
So what's the price? Enquiring minds want to know!

Q: Android NDK and shared library (libskia_android.so) When I call a methods that are declared and defined in the header file I get SIGSEGV!
When I call a methods that are not defined in header (they are implemented in .cpp file) everything works fine.
How linker works?How to solve this issue?
Thanks

A: I figure out what is problem!
In Android.mk must be included "LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DSKIA_DLL".
This will prevent instance counting. Instance counting relies on static
variables in functions defined in header files,which increase size of class and changes the application binary interface (ABI) !

California Continues to Prioritize Infrastructure Sustainability to Climate Change Impacts
SACRAMENTO – California's infrastructure is under threat from the pending impacts of climate change. A bill by Assemblymember Bill Quirk (D-Hayward) that will require state agencies to continue to account for these climate impacts in state infrastructure projects was signed into law.
"The events of the past few weeks, from the strains on our energy system to the wildfires ravaging the state have only reinforced the immediate need to put climate impacts at the forefront of our infrastructure planning and execution," explained Assemblymember Quirk. "Extreme weather and other effects of climate change have significant impacts on California's aging infrastructure. That is why I have been working for years to study and work towards sustainable solutions for our state's infrastructure."
In 2016 Assemblymember Quirk authored a bill to create the Climate-Safe Infrastructure Working Group (Working Group) composed of scientists, engineers, and architects to examine how to best integrate climate information with the state's infrastructure design, planning, and implementation. The bill also required state agencies to account for current and future impacts of climate change when planning, building, and investing in state infrastructure.
"As a scientist myself, I know the importance of having experts lead the way on these issues. The Working Group created by my original bill produced a report to the Legislature in 2018 laying out recommendations to make state infrastructure resilient and sustainable to withstand a wide range of climate impacts. However, their work is far from over," said Assemblymember Quirk.
This year's AB 2800 makes permanent the Working Group and provisions in state law requiring state agencies to take current and future impacts of climate change into account in infrastructure projects.
"As the climate crisis intensifies wildfires, droughts, extreme heat and floods, and makes them more destructive, it's critical our state's roads, power grid and water system be strengthened to withstand the unrelenting risks we will continue to face for decades," says Jason Barbose, Western States Senior Policy Manager of the Union of Concerned Scientists. "Signing AB 2800 is an important step toward preparing our aging infrastructure for the worsening climate extremes to come."
"Infrastructure plays a critical role in our lives and livelihoods, and as we spend public funds on infrastructure projects, we need to make sure these projects can continue to function as designed for many decades despite changing climatic conditions," said Assemblymember Quirk. "AB 2800 makes the Working Group permanent allowing their critical work on state climate adaptation planning efforts and coordination with state agencies to advance infrastructure sustainability to continue. This bill will continue to make infrastructure safer and save lives, taking important steps towards helping California to ensure a climate-safe future."
The signing of AB 2800 comes after Governor Newsom announcement of achieving 100 percent zero-emission passenger car and truck sales by 2035. AB 2800 goes into effect January 1, 2021.

Q: Sprite Kit creating count down timer issues The timeLabel should count down from 60 to 0 but I have yet to implement a duration. For instance timeLabel.text = String(i) //implement every 1 second So that it will resemble a real count down timer. How would I do that. The other issue is that the game won't start in the simulator when running this code. I get an error and I am redirected to the AppDelegate.swift file: class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate { //error: Thread 1: signal SIGABRT
class GameScene: SKScene {

var timeLabel = SKLabelNode()

override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {

    for var i = 60; i > 0; i-- {

        timeLabel.text = String(i)
        timeLabel.position = CGPointMake(frame.midX, frame.midY)
        timeLabel.fontColor = UIColor.blackColor()
        timeLabel.fontSize = 70
        timeLabel.fontName = "Helvetica"
        self.addChild(timeLabel)

    }

  }

}

A: You can do this in a few ways, and here is an example on how to update label text (counter) using SKAction:
  import SpriteKit

  class GameScene: SKScene {

    let timeLabel = SKLabelNode(fontNamed: "Geneva")
    var counter = 60

    override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {

        timeLabel.text = "60"
        timeLabel.position = CGPointMake(frame.midX, frame.midY)
        timeLabel.fontColor = UIColor.blackColor()
        timeLabel.fontSize = 40

        self.addChild(timeLabel)
    }

    func countdown(){

        let updateCounter = SKAction.runBlock({

            self.timeLabel.text = "\(self.counter--)"

            if(self.counter == 0){
                self.counter = 60
            }

        })

        timeLabel.text = "60"
        timeLabel.position = CGPointMake(frame.midX, frame.midY)
        timeLabel.fontColor = UIColor.blackColor()
        timeLabel.fontSize = 40

        let countdown = SKAction.repeatActionForever(SKAction.sequence([SKAction.waitForDuration(1),updateCounter]))

        //You can run an action with key. Later, if you want to stop the timer, are affect in any way on this action, you can access it by this key
        timeLabel.runAction(countdown, withKey:"countdown")

    }

    func stop(){

        if(timeLabel.actionForKey("countdown") != nil){

            timeLabel.removeActionForKey("countdown")

        }

    }

    override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {

        if(timeLabel.actionForKey("countdown") == nil){
            self.countdown()
        }

    }

  }

What I am doing here is updating a label's text property each second. To achieve that, I've created a block of code which updates a counter variable. That block of code is called each second using the action sequence.
Note that your current code trying to add label in each loop. Node can have only one parent, and like the app will crash with following error message :

Attemped to add a SKNode which already has a parent

Also you are not running updating label's text property once in a second. You are executing the whole for loop at once (which is done in much less time then a second).
