How President Biya's private visit to Switzerland turns to nightmare
Cameroon's President Paul Biya has been privately visiting Switzerland for a long time.
The Hotel InterContinental in Geneva with its swimming pool and view of Mont Blanc is the residence of choice for the Cameroonian presidential couple.
A report by the Wall Street Journal in November 2018 said that since Biya became head of state in 1982 the hotel is transformed several times a year into a kind of offshore presidential palace, with the president and his entourage taking over an entire floor of the 5-star hotel and sometimes adding around 30 rooms on other floors.
Sometimes the long-time leader stays for several weeks at a time, holidaying in the Alpine country, that questions have been raised if it's proper for a president to govern his country from a foreign land.
According to a 2018 report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), the Cameroonian president has spent at least 1,645 days on private visits abroad since he came to power, and Geneva is by far his favourite destination.

"According to reporters' conservative calculations – based on publicly available hotel room prices and a compilation of entourage lists – the total hotel bill of Biya and his colleagues for one stay at Intercontinental adds up to around $40,000 per day," says OCCRP.
"At that rate, the cost of all of the president's private trips (1,645 days in total) would add up to about $65 million since he came to power – and that's not counting food, entertainment and the rental of a private plane."
Biya's visits to the rich European country have been characterised in the recent past by small protests of a few Cameroonian exiles gathered in front of the Geneva InterContinental to express their opposition to his rule.

His latest visit however witnessed perhaps the biggest of any protests staged by Africans in Europe against a visiting president from the continent.
A normally quite private visit of the president and his wife to relax in the beautiful Swiss city turned to a nightmare when more than 250 protesters stormed the Geneva hotel in the afternoon of Saturday (29 June).
Reports show Swiss police, using tear gas and water cannon, holding back protesting Cameroonians while a major road of the city was blocked to traffic.
Presidential guards who accompanied Biya's entourage also got involved in almost hand-to-hand scuffles with the protesters, who attempted to enter the hotel. Luckily no one died or was seriously injured during the protest. However, Cameroon suffered a diplomatic embarrassment.
A Swiss journalist, Adrian Krause, was manhandled by some of President Biya's guards who seized his camera. The Swiss authorities reacted swiftly after the journalist's complaint by arresting five of the guards.

The protest has started yielding result for its organisers and participants. A Swiss parliamentarian Sylvain Thevoz has meanwhile launched a petition to bar President Biya from Switzerland. The campaign, captioned "Paul Biya has nothing to do in Switzerland", has gathered more than 10,000 signatures with many parliamentarians supporting it. However, the Swiss authorities are most likely not going to accede to the request of the petitioners, say analysts.
Protesters, mostly from the political opposition and the English-speaking north-west and south-west regions, say Biya should not be allowed to enjoy the wealth of their country in Switzerland while his soldiers are killing unarmed civilians and burning villages at home.
Hundreds of people have been killed in clashes between Cameroon's security forces and activists in the regions since December 2016 and up to 50,000 have crossed the border to Nigeria to seek refuge.
"We Cameroonians demand that Cameroon enter the modern era of democracy, having lived for 37 years under the senile dictatorship of Paul Biya," said Robert Wanto, head of the council for the Cameroonian Diaspora, who has been living in exile in France for almost 30 years.

James Wan's Open To Directing Another Conjuring Movie
By David Pountain 7 months ago
As a producer, James Wan remains actively involved in each new Conjuring Universe installment, but as a director, the Aquaman helmsman has kept away from the franchise since 2016's The Conjuring 2. And if the filmmaker's recent comments to CinemaBlend are anything to go by, then it could be a long wait before Wan gets round to helming another entry in the ever-expanding cinematic universe.
While promoting the imminent release of Annabelle Comes Home, Wan shared a few thoughts on the likelihood of directing a future Conjuring movie. And while the producer didn't seem completely closed off to the idea, he also claimed to see value in handing the franchise over to younger, up-and-coming filmmakers:
"Listen, I never say no to anything. That's what I've learned. It's great, but I actually… I love discovering new, young filmmakers, upcoming filmmakers. These movies really allow these filmmakers the opportunity to play in our world."
Official Logo And Artwork For The Conjuring 3 Revealed
From Saw to Insidious to Aquaman, Wan has helped kick off many a popular film series, but has never stuck around to direct more than two entries in any given franchise. It's a consistent pattern that James himself has acknowledged, telling CinemaBlend that he's never felt the need to helm an entire trilogy:
"That's not me. It's weird, everyone wants me to do the full trilogy thing. I'm like, 'You're lucky enough to get me to come back to do the second one,' A, and B, usually by the time I get to Number 2, I always feel like I've said all I need to say and I'm ready to move on. I'm ready to move on to start something new, do something else that excites me. That's how it's always been for me."
Indeed, for next year's The Conjuring 3, Wan has handed the reins over to Michael Chaves, who recently found box office success with The Curse of La Llorona. The upcoming trilogy-maker is currently in production, and is scheduled to hit theaters on September 11th, 2020. Before that, however, the Warren family returns with the release of Annabelle Comes Home on June 26th of this year.
As for Wan, the producer has a very busy future lined up, which includes a Mortal Kombat reboot and a new adaptation of Stephen King's Salem's Lot. When he'll next direct a feature remains to be seen, but there's every possibility that Warner Bros will convince Wan to return for Aquaman 2.

Time for taking decisions! Scarce resources, environmental protection, globalisation, networking: the plastics sector is undergoing changes and facing major challenges. There is no doubt this industry will succeed in embarking upon an exciting trip into the future. At K 2016 in Düsseldorf in October you can convince yourself of this and be inspired by the solutions and innovations of an exciting industry. BMI Machines LLC will be part of this important event of the international plastic industry.
The science of materials generates key technologies – and polymers are genuine allrounders! Polymers play a crucial role in endeavours to reduce emissions of climate damaging gases or to use energy or resources more sustainably and efficiently. Also in medical technology polymers play a part in the success in the form of smart packages, blood bags, singleuse syringes, catheters, or bottles for intravenous fluids that help to raise hygiene standards. Polymer materials are marching ahead. And K 2016 will impressively show the direction they are taking.
Industry 4.0 is already well on the way to becoming a reality. According to the experts the smart factory will soon be a fact. It may take a little time before enterprises have gathered sufficient information and expertise to successfully launch the necessary strategic changes. K 2016, which will be turning the spotlight on various aspects of Industry 4.0, offers an ideal opportunity to talk about this with experienced experts and users. Make use of this unique chance to find out how you can boost your value creation in the long term.
All around the globe scientists are working on ways to meet the plastics and rubber industry's demand for raw materials from sustainable sources. Hydrocarbons are needed to synthesise polymers. In this context biomass – residues of animal and plant life – is fundamentally suitable and usable biomass is generated in large quantities: For example as waste in food production or as part of shells containing chitin or as wood as a sustainable resource. The decision on which road to go is one that should be taken sooner rather than later. The Science Campus at K 2016, for example, offers a good opportity for researchers and users.
Plastics spur top athletic performance. With their poles made of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP), pole vaulters soar over the sixmetre mark. Track athletes break speed records running in shoes composed of hightech polymers. The ball in the game, also made of polymer material, ensures constant performance in any weather. Plastics literally make dreams and visions come true. K 2016 will be putting on an impressive show, demonstrating what polymer materials can do and what the global plastics and rubber industry has to offer. At K 2016 in Düsseldorf, the same sporting ethos applies as for the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro: being there is everything.

MY BURNING MAN THROUGH THE LENS.
The annual art and music festival in the Black Rock Desert attracts 70,000 people seeking a utopian vision but it has not been without its controversies. We ask two Photographers to share some of their favourite images from the event and tell us what the festival means to them.
Everyone I've brought to Burning Man has come away saying "Burning Man changed my life." Everyone!
Black Rock City pulls in nascent creatives, and then gives them the nourishment to bear fruit. They return from the dust and heat evangelists for a different, more creative way of living.
Black Rock City implements a gifting economy. Like a Native American potlatch it allows people to come together and celebrate their artistry by sharing their vision and talents with others. As a photographer, I recycle gifts of creativity and give them back to others through my photographs.
I've travelled a lot, and I've universally found that people everywhere are decent and friendly. Many are afraid to travel and try new things. With my writing and photographs at lenscraft.com, I want to show others the benefits of embracing unfamiliar experiences and getting to know unfamiliar cultures.
What Burning Man means to me?
For me Burning Man is best represented by three of its ten principles; Radical Inclusion, Gifting, and Radical Self Expression. I find opportunity for deeper acceptance of self and others, deepening compassion and selflessness towards all humanity when these principles are practiced not only on the playa but in everyday life.
Why I love photographing Burning Man?
I love photographing Burning man because of the pure adventure of it. There is an infinite opportunity to be in a flow state and capture the radical beauty that results from radical self expression.
I am a freelance photographer based in Southern California. I am inspired by people that follow their passion, practice presence and embody their physical being. My photographic focus is in Movement Arts and Portraitures.

Le clarisse sacramentarie o dell'adorazione perpetua (in origine Francescane del Santissimo Sacramento) sono una congregazione monastica di diritto pontificio.

Storia
L'istituto fu fondato da Jean-Baptiste Heurlaut insieme con Victorie-Joséphine Bouillevaux. Heurlaut conobbe la giovane Bouillevaux quando era parroco a Maizières-lès-Brienne e la inviò presso le visitandine di Troyes per conseguirvi il diploma di maestra (il sacerdote intendeva aprire una scuola nel paese): la Bouillevaux inaugurò la sua scuola nel 1845 e vi riunì una piccola comunità di insegnanti che, con il permesso del vescovo di Troyes, prese a seguire un regolamento di vita religiosa.

Intanto Heurlaut abbracciò la vita religiosa nell'ordine cappuccino e nel 1852 fece la professione adottando il nome di Bonaventura da Ville-sur-Terre. Fu destinato a Parigi, dove fu raggiunto dalla Bouillevaux, che nel 1852 entrò nel terz'ordine francescano prendendo il nome di Maria di Santa Chiara. I due decisero di dare inizio a un monastero di terziarie francescane dedite specialmente dell'adorazione notturna e diurna del Santissimo Sacramento e il 15 dicembre 1854 Maria di Santa Chiara fu rivestita dell'abito religioso dando inizio alla congregazione.

Il 15 luglio 1856 la comunità si trasferì a Troyes. Il monastero fu canonicamente eretto con decreto della congregazione per i vescovi e i regolari del 26 settembre 1868.

Il genere di vita inaugurato a Troyes si propagò presto in altre nazioni: nel 1871, a opera di Maria della Croce Morawska e di altre sei religiose, sorsero le prime due filiali a Poznań e a Vienna.

Le costituzioni del monastero furono approvate definitivamente dalla Santa Sede il 16 settembre 1899; l'istituto è aggregato all'ordine cappuccino dall'11 febbraio 1940.

Attività e diffusione
Le clarisse sacramentarie seguono la regola "seconda" di santa Chiara (urbaniana), sono soggette alla clausura papale e sono dedite alla vita contemplativa. Si dedicano alla cura degli arredi liturgici, alla confezione dei paramenti sacri e ospitano gruppi di donne in ritiro di preghiera.

Oltre che in Francia, i monasteri delle clarisse sacramentarie sono in Austria, Bangladesh, Germania, India, Kazakistan, Polonia e Stati Uniti d'America.

Alla fine del 2011 esistevano 35 monasteri di clarisse sacramentarie con 520 religiose.

Cyclone Idai, which formed over the northern Mozambique channel, made landfall at the port of Beira and left 500000 residents without power and means of communication. The Government of Mozambique estimates that more than 1000 people may have died, with 600,000 persons affected in the northern provinces of Niassa, Tete and Zambezia.
Deployed over the weekend, an initial surge team of WHO experts is working with the three health ministries and other partners to target support where it is needed most. WHO has already dispatched medicines for injuries and primary health care (including malaria treatment)to the affected countries. The supplies cover the primary health care needs for 10 000 people for three months, including treatment for severely injured persons.
State authorities in the three countries continue search and rescue missions. In Malawi, 922,000 people have been affected, with 82 700 people displaced, 577 injuries and 56 deaths. The cyclone also stormed through Chimanimani District in Zimbabwe, causing 65 deaths and displacing between 8 000 and 9,600 people.


The Olive Pink Botanic Garden was named after Olive Pink who was an infamous anthropologist. The great woman, in her time, strove for justice of the Aboriginal people. It is a native garden quite close to the town center in Australia. The garden is beautifully maintained with a variety of plants and relevant information based on them. The garden has a wide collection of over 500 species of central Australian vegetation. While rambling in the garden you would also find remarkable sculptures and art work that add to the beauty of it. You can easily while away your time at the kiosk that serves meals and drinks amidst the scenic beauty of the garden. There is also a visitor center in the garden that houses a couple of exhibitions every year.
The entry to the garden is free. However they do ask for donation which isn't mandatory.
The staff at the garden is amicable and helpful.
You may come across a variety of birds and honeyeaters.
Train: Alice Springs Train Station.
How popular is Olive Pink Botanic Garden?
People normally club together Road Transport Hall Of Fame and Alice Springs Desert Park while planning their visit to Olive Pink Botanic Garden.
Unique venue in the Botanic Gardens. Great place to sit and eat whether inside or out. I had a lovely chicken and quinoa bowl - very generous serving. Friendly service too!
We only went to the cafe for lunch. Huge portions. I had nachos with vegs and avocado dip. Delicious.Great value for money. Very welcoming staff.
Nice gardens We saw a lot of wallabies roaming around and one it the pouch Doesn't feel like you are right next to the city Unfortunately the cafe was closed but it was still just as nice Easy parking for a motorhome when it's not busy !
A great way to experience the nature of central Australia even if you have limited time or mobility, right in town in Alice!

Q: Best FUNCTION to Delete Dash in a string this example by sql? i want to create function for delete dasht(3- , 2-)of interest in  this example :
column:
1GBDDR3-1066-21
2GBDDR3-1066-21
3- 4GBDDR3-1066-414
1GBDDR3-1066-21
2-1GBDDR3-1066-21

output:
1GBDDR3-1066-21
2GBDDR3-1066-21
4GBDDR3-1066-414
1GBDDR3-1066-21
1GBDDR3-1066-21

A: You can use PATINDEX with RIGHT, LEN and LTRIM:
Create and populate sample table (Please save is this step in your future questions)
DECLARE @T AS TABLE
(
    col varchar(30)
)

INSERT INTO @T VALUES
('1GBDDR3-1066-21'),
('2GBDDR3-1066-21'),
('3- 4GBDDR3-1066-414'),
('1GBDDR3-1066-21'),
('2-1GBDDR3-1066-21')

The query:
SELECT CASE WHEN PATINDEX('[0-9]-%', col) > 0 THEN
           LTRIM(RIGHT(col, LEN(col)-2))
       ELSE
          col
       END
FROM @T

Results:
1GBDDR3-1066-21
2GBDDR3-1066-21
4GBDDR3-1066-414
1GBDDR3-1066-21
1GBDDR3-1066-21

A: I would use stuff():
select (case when col like '_-%' then stuff(col, 2, 1, '') else col
        end)

Note:  The question is explicitly about the dash, so I assume the space in the third row is a typo.

A: For an alternative solution;
DECLARE @T AS TABLE
(
    col varchar(30)
)

INSERT INTO @T VALUES
('1GBDDR3-1066-21'),
('2GBDDR3-1066-21'),
('3- 4GBDDR3-1066-414'),
('1GBDDR3-1066-21'),
('2-1GBDDR3-1066-21')

DECLARE @refValue NVARCHAR(7)='GBDDR3'
SELECT
RIGHT((LEFT(col, CHARINDEX(@refValue,col)-1)),1)
+@refValue
+RIGHT(col,LEN(col)-(CHARINDEX(@refValue,col) + LEN(@refValue))+1) FROM @T

A: If there are only GBDDR in that table, then you can use:
SELECT  SUBSTRING(columnName,CHARINDEX('GB',columnName)-1,LEN(columnName))
FROM tableName

Or:
SELECT  CASE WHEN LEN(columnName)-LEN(REPLACE(columnName,'-','')) > 2
            --if we got more than two dashes
            THEN LTRIM(SUBSTRING(columnName,CHARINDEX('-',columnName)+1,LEN(columnName)))
            --take sub-string from first occurrence of dash+1 to the end of the string
            ELSE columnName END
            --else take the full string
FROM tableName

Output:
1GBDDR3-1066-21
2GBDDR3-1066-21
4GBDDR3-1066-414
1GBDDR3-1066-21
1GBDDR3-1066-21

World Cup 2018: Football, Politics and Propaganda
Author: Marc DAOU / Source: France 24
© Yuri CORTEZ, AFP
Whether devout football fans or opportunists profiting from the mass exposure the World Cup provides, leaders of countries participating in the tournament are using football as a means of communication, and even propaganda.
The World Cup in Russia has been under way for over a week now, and despite some of the games not living up to the event's expectations, politics have dominated the pitch. Russian President Vladimir Putin, his Senegalese and French counterparts, Macky Sall and Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and even the Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei and his regional arch-rival, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, have all shown interest, albeit to varying degrees, in this year's World Cup.
Whether they are truly passionate about football or trying to capitalise on the event's unparalleled exposure, heads of state made sure to show pictures of themselves with their national team and even to attend games in person. But whether they have reaped the political benefits of these PR stunts remains to be seen.
A global forum for Putin
Even before kickoff, there were heated debates that Putin would politically exploit the event.
"Putin will face an uphill battle trying to restore his reputation among Westerners and the World Cup won't help change or impact the ideas that are already formed about him," Pascal Boniface, director of the Institute of International and Strategic Relations and author of 'The Football Empire', told FRANCE 24. "At the domestic level, football will do little in terms of the president's popularity, especially since he already got re-elected," he added.
Putin attended the opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia (5-0) where he broke with tradition to make a speech before kickoff and praise his country's values.
He did not, however, attend Russia's second match versus Egypt.
The Russians feared national humiliation at the tournament, reminiscent of the team's performance during the preparation matches. However, to the Kremlin's delight, the "sbornaya" exceeded expectations by delivering strong results. The Russian government is known for using sport to promote policy. Even Putin resorts to such techniques, sometimes appearing in Judo or hockey matches.
"Besides the Russian national team's results, winning the bid to organise the World Cup is considered a victory for the Kremlin. It builds the country's soft power and that of its president,"…

Boca to start giving restaurants star ratings for eco-friendliness
Lulu Ramadan @luluramadan
Boca Raton will soon start rating restaurants on environmental-friendliness to encourage businesses to adopt sustainable practices.
BOCA RATON — The city will soon hand out star ratings to restaurants with the finest environmentally-friendly initiatives.
Well, star(fish) ratings.
Boca Raton's new eco-friendly effort is a program that encourages businesses to ditch single-use plastics and adopt other eco-friendly efforts in exchange for one-, two- or three-star(fish) ratings.
It's meant to spotlight restaurants that are doing their part for the environment and encourage other business to follow suit, said Lindsey Nieratka, the city's sustainability manager who spearheaded the effort.
"What we've observed is more and more businesses and restaurants are making the conscious choice to be more sustainable and use better products," Nieratka said.
Boca Raton, the county's largest coastal city, will launch the program March 2 at the Sea Turtle Festival at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, a turtle rehabilitation hub on the barrier island.
The city will start giving restaurants certificates that show off their rating, with each "starfish" representing different levels of eco-friendliness.
A one-starfish rating goes to restaurants that offer plastic straws only by request; replace plastic straws and takeaway containers with a biodegradable alternative; and offer sustainable menu items, like vegetarian options.
A two-starfish rating goes to restaurants that meet the one-starfish requirement and also have recycling programs and water or energy conservation efforts.
A three-starfish rating, the highest offered, goes to restaurants that meet the other levels, while also tackling issues like light pollution and food waste, and offer only seafood from suppliers on Monterey Bay Aquarium's seafood watch list. Monterey Bay monitors fisheries and lists only those that are environmentally-friendly, according to its website.
"Hopefully this will cause a ripple effect by causing everyone to think about their own choices at home," said Leanne Welch, the manager at Gumbo Limbo, a partner in the city's environmental initiative.
Gumbo Limbo's rehabilitation program often takes in injured sea turtles that get tangled in plastic littering the ocean. The nature center holds about 60 coastal clean-ups a year.
"That's more than one per week and, still, there's always plastic to be picked up along the beach," Nieratka said.
The idea to rate restaurants on eco-friendliness came about after Nieratka read a survey from the Nielsen Company that reported 66 percent of consumers say they'll pay more for products that are environmentally friendly.
"What that said to us is that this is something people are really looking for," Nieratka said.
The city reached out to the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce to open a channel directly with businesses interested in securing star-rating certificates.
Nieratka joined the city as its first sustainability employee nine months ago, signaling that Boca Raton was joining a trend of cities that started prioritizing environmental threats like sea level rise and climate change.
Her restaurant initiative is part of Boca's larger Coastal Connection program, which aims to recognize businesses and organizations that are tackling environmental issues. Boca also joined the Palm Beach County Coastal Resilience Partnership, a coalition of coastal municipalities that partner on environmental studies.
Just to the north, the city of Delray Beach adopted a ban on plastic straws in restaurants earlier this month. It was the first city in Palm Beach County and sixth city in Florida to do so.

Big Brother Continues To Patrol Employer Decisions
Posted on May 20, 2011 by Michael Schmidt
— 1 Comment ↓
Two recent developments from the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") appear on their face to be nothing more than two separate findings on opposite ends of the liability spectrum. Yet, they offer a glimpse into a reconcilable "take away" for employers on our issue of social media and employment-related decisions.
We all remember that the NLRB appeared to first take up the cause last October when it filed a complaint against a Connecticut ambulance company arising out of its Facebook-related termination and social media policy. Then, earlier this year, the NLRB threatened to file a complaint against Thomson Reuters Corp. after the company allegedly terminated a reporter because of a tweet concerning "one way to make this the best place to work". Both of those cases were ultimately resolved without a hearing or decision.
Now come two new NLRB positions. In one, the NLRB filed a complaint in New York alleging that Hispanics United of Buffalo Inc. (a not-for-profit organization) violated the "concerted activities" protection afforded by the National Labor Relations Act ("the Act") when it laid off five employees who had posted on Facebook about another co-worker's contention regarding the terms and conditions of their workplace. The Company contends that the individuals were discharged for violating company policy by what it says was harassment of the co-worker mentioned in the initial post. A hearing on the complaint is presently scheduled for June 22nd.
In the second recent development, the NLRB's Office of the General Counsel issued an "Advice Memorandum" in conjunction with a case involving the Arizona Daily Star. The NLRB determined there that the employer did not violate the Act after admittedly terminating one of its reporters for writing what it deemed to be inappropriate and offensive twitter postings. While the employer had not yet established a formal social media policy, the NLRB was nevertheless convinced that the termination did not retaliate against any protected "concerted activities", and instead was an appropriate action taken under the company's respectful workplace policy.
Employer Take Away: What should you as an employer take away from this development?
While the NLRB shows no signs of reducing its efforts to apply traditional claims to the new social media era, the line of demarcation for employers is starting to be visible. For example, unlike the cases where the NLRB ultimately issued (or threatened to issue) a complaint, the Arizona Daily Star case did not appear to involve evidence that multiple employees were involved with the tweeted discussion, and no evidence that the reporter sought the involvement of others. Similarly, there was no evidence that the reporter's tweets related to the working conditions of the company, and instead the tweets appeared to be mere observations about certain outside activities about which he was reporting.
So while we await further guidance from the NLRB, you should at a minimum ask the following questions before making an employment-related decision: Did the individual at issue communicate with others, or involve others in the discussion, such that the activity may be deemed "concerted"? Did the posts involve a dialogue about working conditions or other issues relating to his or her employment or workplace, such that the activity may be deemed "protected"?

TAZZARI EV's latest evolution in the electric car category (M1).
The name highlights the increased interior space, which is one of the strengths of this new model.
More than 400 litres of load capacity with the new two-volumes design in Shooting Brake style, while maintaining a sports-mode arrangement: central motor, rear-wheel drive, ultralight chassis.
The most advanced power management, greater acceleration, new man-machine interface: this is how the Italian electric car has been renewed, to amaze the world.
The new electric quadricycle (L7e *) of the TAZZARI EV range.
Designed and developed to be the perfect electric car for the city of the future.
More compact than ZERO EM2, it has, however, a load capacity greater than 440 litres, thanks to the new steel chassis with front wheel drive.
The objective was simple, but the challenge was huge: making a rational electric car, with a final price capable of revolutionising the market.
*In Italy, 16-years-old can drive it.
The first electric light quadricycle (L6**) in the history of TAZZARI EV.
The smallest vehicle of the range is a revolutionary product in the light quadricycles category. Designed for young people, it has technical and design features that may make it an iconic product for the generations of today.
In the first place, we thought about safety, developing a supporting chassis with steel passenger cell and roll bar.
Unmatched road stability and driving feeling in its category, as is the Tazzari tradition.
**In Italy, 14-years-old can drive it.

Q: CSS Rules affecting other Objects is it possible for a css rule (such as #testobject1:hover  {}) to have an effect on another object #testobject2?

A: Yes, if you write something like:
#testobject1:hover, #testobject2:hover {}

or if #testobject2 is a children of the #testobject1 element and it inherits the properties declared in that CSS piece.
Otherwise, no.

A: Nope.
The only way this could work is if #testobject2 was a descendant of #testobject1:

    Hello.

The CSS would then be:
#testobject1:hover #testobject2 {
  ...
}

A: It is possible if the 2nd element is a descendant of the first:
#testobject1:hover #testobject2 {}

This will cause the css of this rule to be applied to #testobject2 only when #testobject1 is hovered.
EDIT:  An Interesting use of this involves absolutely positioned elements.  You can have an element which is a descendant of another but visually does not appear within the other element at all.  The hover will still work.
http://jsfiddle.net/F2psw/

A: With CSS, the only way to apply the same style to two different objects like you said is construct your style with more than one selectors. Like this:
#testobject1:hover, #testobject2 {
  [...]
}


"Obviously, he looks the part right now. And certainly he plays very aggressive and tough and physical. He's just your prototype middle linebacker."
SOLON, Ia. — Kevin Miller has been the head coach at Solon for 17 years. He knows what good defenses look like, having overseen some of the state's best in that stretch — including the No. 1 unit this year.
Miller also knows what a good linebacker looks like. He coached former Hawkeye great James Morris, and he's particularly high on one of his current linebackers: junior Coal Flansburg, who has developed into a 2019 prospect to watch this fall.
"Obviously, he looks the part right now," Miller said of Flansburg, who checks in at 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds. "And certainly he plays very aggressive and tough and physical. He's just your prototype middle linebacker."
Flansburg entered Week 9 with 27.5 tackles, three interceptions and two pick-sixes.
Iowa and Iowa State have noticed. Flansburg has already gone to Kinnick Stadium for a Hawkeye game-day visit, and he'll visit the Cyclones when they host TCU Oct. 28.
Iowa has come to watch Flansburg this season, Miller said. Division II Minnesota State-Mankato has expressed interest, too.
Flansburg participated in Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Illinois camps last summer. He said he'll go the those three plus "probably a couple more" this summer to build interest.
There's been no talk of scholarships yet with the Hawkeyes or Cyclones. That could change with a big summer and fall of 2018.
For now, HawkCentral watched Flansburg Friday night. Here's what we saw from the "prototype middle linebacker."
You can see this in all the videos: Flansburg's stance is about as pretty as it gets with high school linebackers. He's not bent over at the back; he's bent at the hips. He keeps his chest "big" — facing in front of him, not down — with his hands free and ready. This way, he doesn't have to waste time standing up when he drops back into coverage. He's already in a position that allows him to drop back or attack downhill immediately.
Flansburg is certainly a hard hitter. Pay particular attention to the second and third clips in this video. In the second, you'll see Flansburg blow through a lineman and stuff the opposing running back in the backfield. In the third, you'll see Flansburg easily penetrate the line, catch the scrambling quarterback and swing him down to the ground with his right arm.
Flansburg also flashed some impressive, downhill speed for a 6-2, 230-pound guy — the kind of speed you'd expect from a budding Division-I prospect. As Flansburg says, his goal is "just playing fast, playing downhill, playing extremely physical." In this video, you see him sprint from his regular position to the backfield to assist on a tackle for loss. He covers 6 yards in three paces.
Solon's opponent, Fairfield, passed very little. But when it did, Flansburg did a fine job dropping back into coverage. (His stance and first step certainly helped.) The only time his man was targeted, Flansburg nearly intercepted the pass.
Hawkeyes, Cyclones LB prospect Coal Flansburg nearly intercepts pass.

Performance study of podded propulsors with varied geometry and azimuthing conditions
Islam, Mohammed Fakhrul (2009) Performance study of podded propulsors with varied geometry and azimuthing conditions. Doctoral (PhD) thesis, Memorial University of Newfoundland.
The current research investigates the performance of podded propulsors with varied geometry at different azimuthing conditions for pusher and puller configurations in open water. -- In order to determine the prominent geometric parameters and to establish their effects on the hydrodynamic performance, the first part of the research concentrated on the geometry of pusher- and puller-podded propulsors. This experimental study consisted of investigating five geometrical parameters and their effects on propeller thrust, torque and efficiency, unit thrust and efficiency of podded propulsors. The work used a factorial design (a design of experiment technique) and analysis approach to study these effects. -- The second part of the research focussed on the hydrodynamic properties of the podded propulsors in static and dynamic azimuthing conditions. This study implemented two investigations using two separate experimental apparatus. In the first investigation, two podded propulsors were tested to measure the forces and moments on the propeller and on the unit at different static azimuthing angles within the range of -30° to 30°. In the second investigation, a separate dynamometer system was used to measure forces and moments of a model pod unit at different static and dynamic azimuthing conditions within the range of 0° to 360°. An additional study evaluated the effects of azimuthing rate and propeller shaft speed on the performance parameters under consideration at dynamic azimuthing conditions. -- The study of pods with varied geometry showed that the geometric parameters have noticeable effect on propulsive characteristics of the propulsor. The analysis provided valuable information to the podded propulsor designers. In static azimuthing conditions in the range of +30° to -30°, the propeller and unit performance coefficients changed with the change of propeller loading and azimuthing angles. In the dynamic azimuthing study, the coefficients of the propeller and the pod unit showed a strong dependence on the propeller loading and azimuthing angle. Further, these results can be used as a base for validation of numerical modelling. -- The uncertainty analysis of the measurements provided strong evidence that the presented results revealed the true performance characteristics of the model scale podded propulsors under consideration.

Hollywood has been indulged in the super hero film renaissance for years and Avengers: Infinity War marks the new climax of this brilliant era in cinema. Marvel Studios has been painting a masterpiece of comic book live action film and TV ever since Iron Man (2008) and it is remarkable to see where we have come a decade later. This third installment of the Avengers saga is a jaw dropping, action packed, emotional ride that left me speechless. There is so much to talk about, so unlike my usual reviews, the following post will be spoiler filled. If you have not seen this film yet, proceed with caution.
Avengers: Infinity War is less of a film, and more of a collection of remarkable moments that have been set in motion through 10 years of films. With over 60 characters assembled into two and a half hours, it is astonishing that there is still a coherent and linear storyline. At its core, this film is a revenge story for Thor, along with a character exploration of Thanos, with a delightful mixture of special moments and necessary action set pieces sprinkled in.
Every time a hero made their appearance my heart skipped a beat. From Spider-Man springing into action, to Star-Lord and the gang singing The Rubberband Man, and Captain America catching a spear from the shadows. Wakanda's introduction embarrassingly caused me to cheer aloud. It seemed like every meaningful character had a special sweet moment in the spotlight. The story did a great job of weaving every plot together to make each appearance necessary, instead of a fan-serving cameo.
The Guardians of the Galaxy & Thor stole the show. When the "Pirate Angel" washed up on the ship and started interacting with Peter Quill & the crew, I couldn't contain myself. It makes perfect sense that Quill would be intimidated by Thor and his good looks.
I especially loved the scene when Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Iron Man crossed paths with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Everyone acts how I would expect them to, and it takes Peter Quill to make a reference about Jesus for them all to realize they are on the same side.
The film was filled with brilliant one-liners and perfect character moments. It seems like they brought everything that we love about these characters front and center for all of us to enjoy.
Another scene that I wanted to call out was the pre-battle scene in Wakanda. I had goose bumps when M'Baku and the Wakandan army were chanting their war cry. We also might have witnessed the greatest "WAKANDA FOREVER!" when T'Challa chants before charging into battle. Also, watching Captain America and Black Panther sprint to the front lines as the head of the spear, was a heartwarming moment.
With that being said, I feel like Thanos deserves our attention.
Thanos is undoubtidbly my favorite villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, behind Erik Killmonger. I am so glad that the writers gave Thanos a strong arc and ideology instead of making him a stupid two-dimensional blockhead that wants to destroy the world.
His ideology is that the universe is imbalanced because there are too many people without enough resources to go around. In order to prevent destruction and balance the scale, Thanos believes he must kill half of the population. What makes him such a strong character is that he wholeheartedly believes his ideology. Thanos explains how his home planet was destroyed, thus creating his sense of belief about an imbalanced universe. Thanos even sacrifices the person he loves to acquire the "soul" stone and achieve his ultimate goal.
The movie felt very rushed to me and I wish it had taken its time building some more character arcs on Earth. I had a hard time buying Wanda and Vision's romance, and in a couple days Thanos acquires all 6 infinity stones. The film was already long, but if they stretched the film another half hour, perhaps they could have had enough time to fine-tune some character beats.
Why did Doctor Strange give up the "time" stone?
In the middle of the film, Doctor Strange uses the "time" stone to go in the future and see millions of possible outcomes of their upcoming battle with Thanos. After returning to present time, he tells Tony Stark that there is only 1 outcome where they win. The following scenes with Doctor Strange become incredibly important, because he knows what that one possible outcome is.
After Thanos kicks all of their butts, Doctor Strange willingly gives up the "time" stone, and in return, Thanos spares Tony Stark's life. Earlier Doctor Strange told Tony Stark he would NEVER save someones' life over protecting the "time" stone. Therefore, I believe Doctor Strange knew the only way they could win the war, is if he gives up the "time" stone and lose the battle. In order for the Avengers to eventually win against Thanos, they must lose this battle along with half of their heroes.
Did half of our heroes die?
After Thanos snaps his fingers we see some of our favorite heroes vanish like dust. Some of those heroes included fan favorites; Black Panther, Spider-Man, and The Guardians of the Galaxy. Needless to say, me and everyone in my theater were freaking out at this moment. When Spider-Man bit the dust, a single tear ran down my face.
As Iron Man clutched Spider-Man's ashes in anguish like in the above photo, I realized something. Why the heck would Marvel kill off these iconic characters? Do I really expect Marvel Studios to never make another Black Panther, Spider-Man, or Guardians movie? You may rest assured because Marvel Studios already confirmed a sequel to all three of those films, so we will be seeing our heroes again.
The original core group of Avengers are still alive, and my theory is that they will embark on a suicide rescue mission to save the people who vanished along with the rest of the universe. I don't believe the "time" stone will be used in Avengers 4 to revert time and undo everything Thanos did. That would be too much of a cop-out. Instead I believe we will see something different and these vanished heroes will be much different when they return.
However, there are some fan favorite characters who died in the film that I believe will not be resurrected. It seems like Loki, Gamora, and Vision are gone for good and we will not see them again.
In the post credit scene, Nick Fury sends a signal out to Captain Marvel on this outdated beeper looking device before he vanishes. We have yet to be introduced to her, but I believe Captain Marvel will play the biggest role in the untitled Avengers 4 sequel. The President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has recently said that Captain Marvel is the most powerful being in the universe. Her role will become more clear when we are properly introduced to her in 2019, with the release of her standalone film.
Avengers: Infinity War blew me away and I recommend this film to anyone who follows the Marvel films. This is going to be a long year of new fan theories and speculation about the ending of this film. We have entered uncharted territory with Thanos beating the Avengers, and I'm excited to see what happens next.

Living your best life doesn't always mean traveling a linear path. Sometimes you need to shake things up along the way, throw the plan out the window and go in search of what truly makes you happy.
What does it mean to find your fit — to discover a sense of purpose and chase down the dreams that mean the most to you?
It's about passion. It's about truth. And most of all, it's about listening to your gut.
Inspired by four people who have already done it, here are five things to keep in mind when reinventing your own life.
Picking a major in college doesn't guarantee you'll have your life figured out by the time you graduate. In fact, most of us walk across that stage to accept a diploma just as clueless about what to do with our lives as when we began. And that's okay.
When Kuro Tawil graduated, he didn't know what to do with his life. So he bought a one-way ticket to Pakistan with the hopes that a change of scenery would help him find his way. While there, he discovered a passion he never knew he had.
Changing your scenery doesn't have to mean traveling halfway around the world. It could also be as simple as changing cities, taking a new route to work, or exploring a part of town you don't usually go to. Inspiration will hit when you break up your routine.
What moves you could be as simple as being around animals, or growing plants, or as big as helping children in need. While traveling to Pakistan, Kuro was struck by stories of women who had limited ways to protect themselves against assault. Hearing the stories — and retelling the moment when it all hit him – reminded him of his mission and why he wanted to make a difference.
Kuro was moved by the thought that there were people in need — people whom he could help. That's when the idea for his start-up was born. By sending pepper spray to developing countries, Kuro and his team are helping to empower women to fight back.
Your hobbies can tell you a lot about what really makes you happy.
For Sara DiVello, a decade working in finance left her feeling unfulfilled, dispirited and hollow. When it was time to leave work at the end of the day, she would rush off to yoga.
"It was my sanctuary," she said. After a long day at the office, her yoga mat was the place where she could finally breathe.
One day, it hit her: she was unhappy. Sara knew she needed to make a change. Yoga provided the way out and a much-needed source of inspiration for her life.
Whether it's knitting, hiking or playing basketball, pay attention to the ways in which you choose to spend your free time, for it's here that you could find your true source of happiness.
Change can be scary, especially when you thought you had it all figured out. But change is also a kind of constant — something we can depend on always being there throughout life.
When Skyler Bouchard got to college, she thought entertainment journalism would be the right path for her, and worked hard at a career in that field. However, she quickly learned that something was lacking.
She had always loved food — talking about it, eating it, documenting it. After posting a photo of blood pudding waffles on social media, the floodgates opened. Suddenly, she knew exactly what she wanted to do — and everything else just fell into place.
Stay flexible as you discover what you want from life. Often, the plan will change. It's important that you change with it.
No one is going to hand you your dream like a gift, all wrapped up in a bow. Rarely is it that easy. Whether you're shifting gears to go after something new or doggedly chasing down the career you've always dreamed of, it's going to take grit, grind and a decent amount of hard work.
Tiffany Reid learned this first hand, commuting from Philadelphia to New York three times a week during college for an internship at a fashion magazine. She worked extra jobs to pay for her travel costs and didn't let the distance keep her from what she wanted.
After a few wrong turns at jobs that weren't right, she landed exactly where she dreamt of all along as fashion editor of a national magazine. In one powerful moment she realized everything up until then had been worth it.
When you put in the work, it pays off.
When you sleep better, you can dream bigger. That's why Sleep Innovations is celebrating people who have found their fit, and encouraging more to go out and do the same. Because one size does not fit all, follow your unique path and get the great sleep it takes to make it happen. Visit www.sleepinnovations.com to learn more about how you can wake up feeling ready for your journey, with the best memory foam sleep products delivered to your door. Don't settle. Make your dreams reality.


Current medical models frequently overlook functional limitations and the home environment even though they partially determine healthcare usage and quality of life. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center funds projects that have potential to affect the "triple aim," a framework for decreasing costs while improving health and quality of life. This article presents preliminary data from Community Aging in Place, Advancing Better Living for Elders (CAPABLE), a model funded by the CMS Innovation Center and designed to overcome the functional and home environmental barriers of older adults. CAPABLE is a patient-directed, team-based intervention comprising an occupational therapist, a registered nurse, and a handyman to decrease hospitalization and nursing home usage of community-dwelling older adults with functional limitations who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. Activity of daily living limitations improved in 79% of the first 100 people who completed the intervention. Preliminary findings of this novel intervention may have implications for other older adults with functional limitations.

Ramesh Kumar vs State Of Bihar And Ors. on 10 January, 2002
January 10, 2002 / October 1, 2016 by Legal India Admin | Leave a comment
Jharkhand High Court
Author: M Eqbal
Bench: M Eqbal
M.Y. Eqbal, J.
1. In this writ application the petitioner seeks issuance of an appropriate writ directing the respondents particularly respondent No. 2 to issue appointment letter in favour of the petitioner for the post of Assistant Professor (Computer Science) for which the name of the petitioner has been recommended by the Bihar Public Service Commission (shortly the Commission).
2. Pursuant to the advertisement issued by the Commission in 1997 for appointment on the aforesaid post, the petitioner applied and he was interviewed on 26.5.1999 by the Commission. The petitioner was accordingly selected for appointment and his name was recommended to the department of Science & Technology, Govt. of Bihar. The said department then issued letter to the Director-in-Chief, Health Services, Bihar, Patna to get the petitioner medically examined by the Medical Board. The petitioner was examined by the Medical Board on 22.7.2000 and the Civil Surgeon-cum-Medical Officer vide letter, dt. 1.8.2000 submitted the medical report to the Director, Science & Technology, Patna. On 9.6.2000 the Director and the Joint Director verified all the certificates
and documents of the petitioner but the appointment letter could not be issued. It is stated that the department of Science & Technology requested the Commission vide letter dated 4.9.2000 for extension of the period in connection with issuance of appointment letter. Thereafter, inspite of repeated requests and reminders made by the petitioner, respondent No. 2 has not issued appointment letter till date.
3. The Commission, in its counter affidavit, has fully supported the case of the petitioner and stated that the recommendation has already been sent to the department of Science & Technology, Govt. of Bihar and it is for the Secretary, Science and Technology, Govt. of Bihar to issue appointment letter. No counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State of Bihar.
4. The State of Jharkhand who was subsequently impleaded as a party-respondent, filed its counter affidavit wherein it is stated that the Commission re-validated the recommendation for next one year vide letter dated 6.1.2001 as new Jharkhand State was created and the appointment of the petitioner was to be made for B.I.T. Sindri. Hence the department of Science and Technology, Govt. of Bihar sent letter dt. 22.2.2001 to the Govt. of Jharkhand to start the process of appointment. However, the Personal & Administrative Reforms, Deptt. took the stand that in view of re-organisation of the State of Jharkhand and the instructions laid down in the letter dt. 22.2.2001 issued by the Govt. of India, the recommendation on the Commission is not binding on the newly created State of Jharkhand and hence the appointment letter could not be issued.
5. There is no dispute that the petitioner's name was finally recommended by the Commission for his appointment to the post of Assistant Professor. The Commission sent letter on 7.8.1999 before creation of the State of Jharkhand. The Secretary, Science and Technology, Govt. of Bihar, Patna requested the Commission for extension of the period of recommendation to enable it to appoint the petitioner. In my opinion, merely because of creation of the State of Jharkhand, the Government of Bihar or the Government of Jharkhand cannot be exonerated from their liability of appointing the petitioner on the post for which he was selected and his name was recommended by the Commission. In a similar circumstance this Court, in CWJC No. 582/2001, directed the State of Bihar to issue formal letter of appointment in favour of the petitioner of the said writ application and on his appointment the petitioner would be entitled to exercise his option for his transfer in the State of Jharkhand.
6. For the aforesaid reasons, this writ application is allowed and the respondents, particularly respondent No. 2, is directed to issue appointment letter appointing the petitioner in the post of Assistant Professor (Computer Science) within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On his appointment the petitioner shall be entitled to exercise his option for transfer in the State of Jharkhand and the Secretary, Personal & Administrative Reforms, Govt. of Bihar shall pass appropriate order in accordance with law.
