Szofer said the company had always used what he called a blended model. "There is a definitive shortage of information technology skills in the US and this demand needs to be met somehow. We believe in hiring local Americans to be the primary resource for our clients, then supplementing that with off-shore resources on an as-needed basis. Having the resources both on- and off-shore ensures that everyone is paid at market rates. This provides for a stable workforce and high-quality work."


To tile layers of different aspect ratios together without leaving gaps/resizing I'd like to request something like a "bin-packing" implementation to fit layers together. I think they look great. This wouldn't crop anything and keep aspect ratios of layers, but fit them all together in a given recatangle, with options to make all the packed layers the same width or height(proportional resize to one dimension), otherwise just respecting the size of the layer.Perhaps some form of variance/tolerance parameter to avoid the result of all the small layers at one end of the rect all the time. There is no doubt a lot of considerations here that im not thinking about.

Q: Issues with Bootstrap 4 fixed navbar I have a Bootstrap navbar that I want it to be fixed at the top, so when the content below is scrolled, the navbar remains at the same place. So far this requirement works fine, but there are two issues:
The first issue is that when I select an item from the any of the two dropdown lists, their lengths change. I want the lengths to be fixed.
The second issue is that I do not need the "Report Type", "Code" and "Submit" controls to be collapsible. This page will be used solely on a web browser on a desktop or laptop. I just need these three controls to be fixed on the right. This means that the navbar length will be fixed, and if the browser is resized smaller, the user would have to scroll to the right to see the rest of the navbar. How to remove the collapsible feature?
Thanks in advance.

EDITED:
I want the controls to stay in one row, but if I resize the browser to make the width smaller, the controls will overflow to the next row.

A: Here is the solution.
For fixed-dropdown, I added fixed_dropdown class in dropdown-btn.
For fixed navbar and non-collapsable, you can use fixed-top and navbar-expand class.
what you mean by in one row?

.fixed_dropdown {
    width: 10rem;
    white-space: normal;

A: First of all remove .navbar-expand-lg class from your nav tag since you don't want to collapse your navigation bar on any breakpoint.
Also you don't need to add .navbar-toggler button. This will create a hamburger button to toggle your collapsed items, in your case items inside #navbarSupportedContent. So remove the following:
 <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent"
            aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">

 </button>

Also remove .collapse and .navbar-collapse classes from this:

I hope it helps.

Op-Ed: Paradise losing: Many Hawaii species are on the road to extinction
(Michael Hirshon / For The Times)
By Susanna Moore
Each year I await with dread the federal government's catalog of endangered and threatened species in the Hawaiian Islands, where I was raised and where I live.
On its 2015 list, the Fish and Wildlife Service included the 'ea, or hawksbill turtle, as well as the green turtle, Ridley sea turtle, leatherback turtle and loggerhead turtle. Four mammals are considered endangered: the Hawaiian hoary bat; the kohola, or humpback whale; the sperm whale; and the endemic Hawaiian monk seal. Among the 34 endangered birds are the Hawaiian goose, or nene; the Maui parrotbill; the Nihoa millerbird; the red-legged stilt; and the i'o, or Hawaiian hawk. There were once 99 species of tree snails in the Islands; of the 25 that survive, nine are endangered. Fifteen anthropods are at risk, including the sphinx moth and the oceanic damselfly.
Among the endangered plants are a white hibiscus found only in Wailau Valley on Molokai; the lovely Hawaiian gardenia or na'u (although now widely cultivated in an effort to save it, there are only two or three plants remaining in the wild), the mountain silversword of Mauna Loa; the lo'ulu, or Pritchardia palm; and one small yellow campanula (Brighamia insignis) last seen on a cliff on Kauai.
It is simply unforgivable that such adaptive and resilient species as those indigenous (native, but occurring elsewhere) and endemic (occurring nowhere else in the world) to the Hawaiian Islands should so easily be allowed to vanish from the planet.
The chance of any species reaching and then surviving on an island as distant as one of the Hawaiian chain is infinitesimal, but despite the extraordinary odds, plants and seeds found their way ashore, carried by the tide or blown by trade winds, inside birds or in their feathers, in the branches of trees and in the jetsam of sunken ships.
Such an event is thought to have occurred only 300 times in the history of Hawaii, meaning that on average, if one takes 70 million years as the life of the islands, one seed or sapling was successfully introduced every 20,000 to 30,000 years. Many of those species have now disappeared.
According to the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, 271 species of all indigenous and endemic flora and fauna (introduced by various means) have become extinct in the last 200 years alone.
Although the decimation of species is due to commercialization, the loss of forests, hunting, the growth of population, pervasive alien introductions and most recently global warming, it began with the first voyagers from Polynesia in the 7th century, who brought to the islands their own plants and animals, including pigs, chickens and dogs, which ensured the survival of the settlers but threatened those native species that were innocent of predators.
In the early 19th century, rapacious Hawaiian chiefs were responsible for the disappearance of vast sandalwood forests, the fragrant wood sought by the Chinese for incense, and for the loss of thousands of native birds killed to make the yellow, red and green feather capes, leis and helmets of the nobility.
Hawaii's first king, Kamehameha I, must be held accountable for some of the early loss of plants, thanks to the taboo he issued on the cattle given to him in 1793 by Capt. George Vancouver. The cattle, and later goats, were allowed to roam wild in the uplands, where they destroyed the delicate ferns, vines, trees and grasses that had provided generations of Hawaiians with food, fishing lines, nets, vegetable dyes, timber, medicine, barkcloth and thatch for their houses.
European contact, which began in 1778 with the discovery of the islands by Capt. James Cook, brought disease and the further destruction of ecosystems. In the 19th century, the spread of large sugar plantations ensured that additional acres of native grasslands and forests, and the creatures that lived in them — many of them natural pollinators — were heedlessly destroyed. Large cattle ranches, particularly on the Big Island, meant that the forests and valleys that were once home to numerous species were turned into grazing land.
Despite its rank as the state with the highest number of endangered or threatened species, Hawaii receives less than 5% of the funding allotted by the federal government's endangered species program — $1.5 million in 2013 out of $32 million given to 20 states, a third of which went to buy 635 acres of forested land on Oahu, while the rest was given to Kauai to plan habitats for birds.
Private landowners, community watch groups, conservation groups, local government agencies and even schoolchildren are increasingly aware of the great loss that is underway, but for many species, it will be too late.
Friends of mine despair that there is not enough compassion, not enough will, not enough time or money to go around. Is the disappearance of the Hawaiian cave wolf spider, they ask, or the Hibiscadelphus distans, one of the world's rarest trees, that important to most people? Especially in comparison to human lives? People will be able to survive, of course, without honeycreepers and monk seals. But if the wolf spider is in trouble, we are in trouble too.
Susanna Moore is the author, most recently, of "Paradise of the Pacific: Approaching Hawaii."


Jump Start is a five-year Pre-K pilot targeting low-income children as a parallel to the statewide Early Education Matching Grant (EEMG) pre-K pilot. The Harrison County Community Foundation is funding full-day quality pre-K for up to 200 low-income and at-risk children in Harrison County. The Applied Research and Education Center provides evaluation services for the pilot.
Indiana Kids funding supports grades k-12 (age 17 and under) through the support of the Family and Social Services Agency's (FSSA) -Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding. The purpose of TANF is to 1) provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes 2) end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage 3) prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and establish annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies 4) encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families. Indiana kids specifically addresses TANF goals 3 and 4.
The Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs provides educational and enrichment programs to equine workers. The project was designed to assess perceptions of the Backside Learning Center and programming needs among the trainers and workers. The findings provide data to inform strategic planning in program development, communications, and fundraising.
We believe that students should have the opportunity to apply what they are learning and to reflect on their service experiences. We acknowledge that giving back to the community and working with community partner prepares our students to be involved active citizens.

La immunocromatografia és una de les tècniques d'immunodiagnòstic més modernes i les seves principals avantatges són la simplicitat i la rapidesa de la prova (qüestió de minuts). Cada vegada són més les aplicacions d'aquesta tècnica, tant en l'àmbit dels testos, ja que no calen reactius ni instrumentació addicional, com en el camp clínic. L'exemple més conegut són els test d'embaràs de les farmàcies, psa, test de troponina I, i recentment, test sobre el VIH.
Es pot realitzar mitjançant un dispositiu simple portat a terme per detectar la presència (o absència) d'un compost objectiu a la mostra (la matriu). Aquest tipus de proves són emprades comunament per al diagnòstic mèdic ja sigui per a realitzar proves a casa, o al laboratori. Es presenta en un format de tira, en el qual la mostra problema flueix per un substrat sòlid mitjançant acció capil·lar.

Funcionament
La immunocromatografia es basa en la migració d'una mostra a través d'una membrana de nitrocel·lulosa. La mostra és afegida en la zona del conjugat, el qual està format per un anticòs específic contra un dels epítops de l'antigen a detectar, i un reactiu de detecció (metall pesant o micro-esferes de làtex) unit a l'anticòs. Si la mostra conté l'antigen problema, aquest s'unirà a l'anticòs conjugat formant un complex immune i migrarà a través de la membrana de nitrocelulosa. Sinó, migraran el conjugat i la mostra sense unir-se.

La zona de captura està formada per un segon anticòs específic contra un altre epítop de l'antigen. A l'arribar la mostra a aquesta zona, els complexos formats per la unió de l'antigen i el conjugat quedaran retinguts i la línia s'acolorirà (mostres positives). En cas que no canviï el color de la banda seran mostres negatives.

La zona control està formada per un tercer anticòs que reconeix el l'anticòs específic de l'antigen, unit al reactiu de detecció. Quan la resta de mostra arriba a aquesta zona, l'anti-anticòs s'unirà al conjugat lliure que no ha quedat retingut a la zona de captura. Aquesta línia és un control que l'assaig ha funcionat bé, ja que s'acoloreix sempre, amb mostres positives i negatives.

Interpretació

Mostra positiva: Observem dues marques de color en la membrana, una corresponent al complex d'antigen amb l'anticòs marcat amb el reactiu (línia de test) i l'altre la interpretem com a l'anticòs lliure que no s'ha unit a l'antigen problema (línia de control).

Mostra negativa: Només observem una marca de color que correspon als anticossos lliures marcats amb el reactiu. És important que aquesta ratlla estigui en el lloc corresponent de la membrana, és a dir, a la línia de control.

Si la marca d'anticossos lliures està en el lloc on ens hauríem de trobar la del complex antigen-anticòs (línia de test), acceptarem que hem realitzat malament el test i el tornarem a fer, en el cas que no ens aparegui cap marca també haurem de repetir la prova.

Tipus
Hi ha dos tipus principals d'immunocromatografia o immunoassaig de flux lateral, en microbiologia:

Assajos de sandvitx d'anticossos doble
Funcionament: En aquest format, la mostra migra des del coixinet o zona de mostra a través del coixinet del conjugat on qualsevol anàlit objectiu present s'unirà al conjugat. La mostra continua migrant a través de la membrana fins que arriba a la zona de captura on el complex diana / conjugat s'unirà als anticossos immobilitzats que produeixen una línia visible a la membrana. La mostra després migra encara més al llarg de la tira fins que arriba a la zona de control, on l'excés de conjugat s'unirà i produirà una segona línia visible a la membrana. Aquesta línia de control indica que la mostra ha emigrat a través de la membrana com es pretén.

Interpretació: Dues línies clares sobre la membrana és un resultat positiu. Una sola línia a la zona de control és un resultat negatiu.

Aplicacions: Doble assajos de sandvitx d'anticossos són els més adequats per a grans anàlits, com ara patògens bacterians i virus, amb múltiples llocs antigènics.

Assajos de competitivitat
Funcionament: Els assajos competitius s'utilitzen principalment per provar molècules petites i diferir del format sandvitx de doble anticòs en el coixinet de conjugat que conté anticossos que ja estan enllaçats amb l'anàlit diana, o a un anàleg del mateix. Si l'anàlit diana és present a la mostra, no s'unirà amb el conjugat i romandrà sense marcar. A mesura que la mostra migra al llarg de la membrana i arriba a la zona de captura, un excés d'anàlit no marcat s'unirà als anticossos immobilitzats i bloquejarà la captura del conjugat, de manera que no es produirà cap línia visible. El conjugat no unit s'unirà als anticossos a la zona de control produint una línia de control visible.

Interpretació: Una línia regulable sobre la membrana és un resultat positiu. Dues línies visibles en les zones de captura i control és un resultat negatiu. No obstant això, si un excés d'anàlit objectiu no marcat no és present, una línia feble pot ser produïda a la zona de captura, el que indica un resultat no concloent.

Aplicacions: Els assaigs competitius són els més adequats per a l'assaig de molècules petites, com ara les micotoxines, incapaces d'unir-se a més d'un anticòs a la vegada. Hi ha un nombre de variacions en la tecnologia de flux lateral. La zona de captura a la membrana pot contenir antígens immobilitzats o enzims, depenent de l'anàlit diana, en lloc d'anticossos. També és possible aplicar diverses zones de captura per crear un assaig múltiple. Per exemple, s'han desenvolupat tires d'assaig comercials capaces de detectar tant EHEC Shiga toxines ST1 i ST2 per separat a la mateixa mostra.

Origen i actualitat
La tecnologia bàsica que subjau en immunoassajos de flux lateral es va descriure per primera vegada en la dècada de 1960, però la primera aplicació comercial va ser Clearview Unipath la prova d'embaràs casolana llançada el 1988. Des de llavors, la mateixa tecnologia que s'ha emprat per desenvolupar una àmplia i sempre creixent de proves per a la clínica, la indústria veterinària, agricultura, menjar, bio-defensa i aplicacions ambientals.

Els tests d'immunocromatografia que s'han desenvolupat i investigat els darrers anys serveixen per a la detecció d'antígens i anticossos. Actualment hi ha un projecte finançat per la Comunitat Europea en el qual el Statens Serum Institute (Copenhaguen) i altres centres d'investigació de fora de la Comunitat elaboren un test immunocromatogràfic per la detecció de la tuberculosis en sèrum, plasma i sang.

Proves quantitatives
Mentre que la majoria dels immunoassajos de flux lateral són només capaços de proporcionar un resultat qualitatiu, és possible obtenir un cert grau de quantificació mitjançant el mesurament de la quantitat de conjugat unit a la zona de captura. Això es pot fer usant un lector dedicat per mesurar la intensitat de la línia de prova de color. Per exemple, la Corporació Neogen ha desenvolupat el lector de flux Accuscan ™ lateral per a ús amb la seva gamma de Reveal ® i kits d'assaig Charm Sciences també proporciona un lector per Rosa ® rang de tires de prova de micotoxines. Tècniques més sofisticades, com ara fluorescents conjugats colorant marcats, també s'han desenvolupat per millorar el potencial quantitatiu d'assaigs de flux lateral.

Estudis relacionats
Seguidament es citen alguns estudis més o menys actuals en els quals aquesta tècnica ha estat important per al seu diagnòstic degut a les característiques que presenta, anteriorment explicades.

Diagnòstic de la infecció per Taenia solium
Objectiu: Avaluar la tècnica d'immunocromatografia pel diagnòstic de la infecció per Taenia solium en hàmsters mitjançant caproantígens.

Materials i mètodes: Es va produir en Oryctolagus cuniculus (conill) IgG anti-antigens d'excreció/secreció (ES) de T.solium i en Capra hircus (cabra) IgG anti-IgG de conill. Part de les IgG anti-antígens ES de T.solium va ser conjugada amb or col·loidal. La immunocromatografia es va dur a terme utilitzant tires de nitrocelulosa en les quals es fa fixar dues bandes amb anticossos de captura; en la primera, les IgG anti-antigens ES de T.solium (banda de prova) i en la segona, les IgG anti-IgG de conill (banda control). La tècnica va ser avaluada amb un "pool" de 3 mostres de medi de cultiu amb antigens ES de T.solium, Hymenolepsis nana, Dyphillobotrium pacificum i de larves dAnisakis simplex, així com un "pool" de 3 mostres fecals de hàmsters no parasitats, de parasitats per Hymenolepsis nana i de set mostres fecals de hàmsters parasitats per T.solium.

Resultats: La immunocromatografia va permetre detecar antígens de T.solium en mostres de medi de cultiu amb Ags ES específiques i en femtes de hàmsters parasitats per T.solium mitjançant la coloració de la banda de prova, sent negatiu quan es va utilitzar medis amb ES d'altres helmints i sense antígens, així com amb mostres de femtes de hàmsters infectats per altres paràsits i de no parasitats. En totes les tires utilitzades, es va observar la coloració de la banda control.

Conclusió: La tècnica d'immunocromatografia és capaç de detectar antígens de T.solium, tant en medi de cultiu com en femtes de hàmsters.

 Detecció de P. falciparum
La immunocromatografia és útil també a la detecció de la forma asexual del virus de la malària in vivo, amb resultats amb elevada especificitat i sensibilitat (lleugerament més baixa, ja que no es detecten els gametòcits madurs de Plasmodium falciparum), com ve demostrat per un estudi fet amb "dipstick kits". El fet que la sensibilitat d'aquest test sigui més baixa no influeix negativament a la validesa del test. No obstant, als països endèmics d'aquest parasita, els kits són molt cars. Segueixen sent útils aquests tests per la infecció per falciparum'' en casos on els centres d'investigació no tinguin microscopis d'examinació disponibles per a un diagnòstic a temps. http://www.ajol.info/index.php/ajcem/article/view/7385/13763, African Jounal Online, Consulta: 12/01/2013

 Altres àrees d'investigació
Els tests immunocromatogràfics poden ser útils també en altres àrees que no pas la medicina. En l'àmbit alimentari, permeten la detecció de l'aflatoxina B1, millorant la seguretat alimentària, ja que les aflatoxines són tòxiques. Hi ha altres tècniques per la detecció d'aquestes aflatoxines, el que passa és que són més cares i triguen més temps. Aquest assaig accelera així el diagnòstic analític i és una via alternativa per realitzar un test sense utilització de reactius, permetent un únic procediment. Donada la seva senzillesa, aquests tests es poden dur a terme en el lloc on es recull l'espècimen.

 Especialitats diagnòstiques
 Ingezim PARVO-CROM (15.CPV.K.4) Introducció: Ingezim PARVO-CROm és un assaig immunocromatogràfic directe, basat en una tècnica de migració que utilitza anticossos monoclonals (AcMs) específics enfront a les proteïnes VP1 i VP2 del Parvovirus Caní (CPV).Bases tècniques del producte: el dispositiu de diagnòstic està compost per una placa de plàstic amb dues finestres:
a)Finestra d'addició de la mostra: conté una mescla de AcM específics enfront a les proteïnes VP1 i VP2 de CPV i una proteïna control, units a partícules de làtex colorejat.
b)Finestra de lectura de resultats: conté una línia test (T) formada per AcM específics de Parvovirus Caní i una línia control (C) formada per un AcM específic de la proteïna control.Aplicacions: el producte ha sigut dissenyat per la detecció de les proteïnes VP1 i VP2 de Parvovirus Caní tipus 2, 2a i 2b i en mostresbiològiques de gossos (femtes): així com per la detecció del Virus de la Panleucopenia Felina en mostres biològiques de gats (femtes).Procediment: afegir la dil·lució de la mostra a la finestra circular. Si la mostra conté les proteïnes VP1 o VP2 de CPV, AcM que es troben conjugats al làtex (AcM-làtex) s'uniran a elles i migraran per la membrana. El compelx Ag-làtex-AcM s'unirà als AcM situats a la zona test (T) donant lloc a l'aparició d'una línia vermella/rosa. L'aparició d'una línia blava en la zona control (C) indica que l'assaig és vàlid.Interpretació dels resultats''':
a)Mostra positiva: línia vermella/rosa a la zona test (T) i línia blava a la zona control (C)
b)Mostra negativa: únicament una línia blava a la zona control (C)
c)Assaig no vàlid sense línia blava a la zona control (C)

Sunlight: Even if it's cloudy, get outside every day. To help with energy and sleeping patterns, try to get at least 15 minutes of sunshine as early as possible in the morning and do this without sunglasses on. Your skin has light receptors too, so if you can bare your arms or legs during this time you'll get extra energy benefits. Also try to get some midday sunshine to help power you through the afternoon.
Earthing / Grounding: There's a whole bunch of electromagnetic science and big words behind this one, but just know that spending some time each day with your bare feet on the ground will help you feel better. Humans build up a slight positive charge in our bodies throughout the day, the Earth is slightly negative. By connecting with the Earth it can help balance you out. Early studies have shown this to improve sleep and decrease inflammation, with the theory that the electrons are acting as an antioxidant for the body. Definitely worth giving it a go.

Color lines are blurred in ABC comedy 'black-ish'
By Frazier Moore, Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Tracee Ellis Ross delivers perhaps the funniest line you'll hear on a sitcom this fall.
The character she plays on ABC's comedy "black-ish" is, like Ross, an appealing mix of beauty, smarts and zaniness. She is totally plausible as a savvy mother of four and the loving wife of an up-and-coming ad exec (co-star Anthony Anderson), not to mention a busy anesthesiologist.
In this upscale African-American family, Dr. Rainbow Johnson also happens to be biracial. This occasionally spurs Andre, her hubby, who's forever fretting about the family's black cred, to question whether she is certifiably "black."
He does this in the series' premiere, to which, unfazed, Rainbow fires back, "If I'm not really black, then could someone please tell my hair and my ass!"
Reminded of that line during a recent interview, Ross cracks up.
"That's what I love about our show," she says. "With that line, my character sums it all up: 'Are you STILL coming from the world that believes all black people are the same and all black people should think the same? C'mon, Dre!'"
With remarkable humor and finesse, "black-ish" (which debuts Sept. 24 at 9:30 p.m. EDT) addresses race, culture, socio-economics and other weighty matters.
But the issues it raises aren't limited to "black-ish"-ness. Dre's concerns, overwrought as they may be, are those of any proud member of an ethnic or racial group who worries that the very thing he may be yearning for — assimilation into a larger community— could come at the expense of his own group identity.
Dre's concerns are those of any parent who wants things better for his kids than he had it, but worries that they're influenced by changing times more than by the parents charged with raising them (that doggone generation gap!).
"Black-ish" asks, winningly, does a "colorless" society imply a betrayal of one's own identity? Or, instead, its unleashing? (In the premiere, Dre's 13-year-old son goes out not for basketball, as Dad expected, but for field hockey — a "black-ish" sport! — then asks for a bar mitzvah, not because he's Jewish, but because he wants to throw a party.)
In a world arguably less and less pigeonholed, "black-ish" has fun with what defines "the black experience," with what is and isn't "appropriately" black.
It's a question that Ross has dealt with in real life: She is the daughter of legendary vocalist Diana Ross and music business manager Robert Ellis Silberstein, who is white. She says early on she began to identify as being black (and is best known for her eight years as a star of "Girlfriends," a comedy-drama with a black cast and perspective).
"Mostly because I couldn't identify as a WHITE woman," she replies, bursting into laughter. "But while I'm very comfortable identifying as a black woman, I've really had no interest in identifying as ANYthing. On my college application, I checked 'Black' AND 'White.'"
She laughs again. "I haven't had to answer any of these questions for so many years. Then, all of a sudden in the context of this series, because we say my character is a 'mixed' woman and apparently this is a 'black show,' it's a conversation I'm having again."
Not that she's complaining: She loves the show's message, which extends beyond laughs.
"I think what we're really influenced by is class, culture and the tradition each of us comes from, as opposed to race," she says. "We're in a new dialogue around these things, and I think this show represents it."


Learning First Hand From Young Offenders: Has Globalization Come Full Circle?
What has the government done, or is doing about it?
Physical security (against bullies and or those who threaten them).
Vocational security (against their apparent disadvantage of lack of appropriate skills to be employed/keep jobs).
Power security (against their parents' state of helplessness/sense of inadequacy; ability to get back at those who taunt them, reject them, insult them).
Relational security (against their possible sense of rejection, their nagging urge to have and keep friends, and their struggle of self-esteem as they seek acceptance; also inadequacy or lack of close family relationships between siblings and with and among parents).
Intellectual and literacy issue (against being perceived as dumb, dull or facing the risk of being classified as having learning disability).
Many of the parents of these young-offenders did express their helplessness at the way public policy bind their hands and rendered them powerless to discipline their children.
From my meeting with parents, the recommendation of the WPS is right on target. Parents should spend more time with and give attention to their children; in addition to showing the children that they are loved.

Waugh's Saving Grace
Fourteen years after its first publication in 1945, Brideshead Revisited was reissued with a preface by the author. By this stage of his life, Evelyn Waugh had mastered a particular tone of quizzical hardness which was but one of the aristocratic affectations of this son of a middle-class publisher. Looking back on the moment of the book's composition during a period of leave from military service following a minor injury, Waugh contemplated it with the appearance of dispassion:
It was a bleak period of present privation and threatening disaster — the period of soya beans and Basic English — and in consequence the book is infused with a kind of gluttony, for food and wine, for the splendours of the recent past, and for rhetorical and ornamental language, which now with a full stomach I find distasteful.
Certainly, the prose style of Brideshead is not, at all moments, under close authorial control. One recalls, with a shudder, some of the dialogue between Charles Ryder and Julia Flyte towards the end of the novel.
However, the many references to wine in Brideshead do not show Waugh merely wallowing in the blissful memory of prewar delights. No doubt there was a touch of wallowing. But there was also some authorial shaping, to the point where the language and appreciation of wine become closely associated with what Waugh claimed to be the deep theme of the novel, namely the operation of divine grace.
Waugh used the absence of wine to characterise the various dystopias of the novel. During his dreary war service leading "C" Company in various pointless journeys across an England immiserated and brutalised by war, Charles's decline is reflected in his choice of drink:
Here at the age of thirty-nine I began to be old. I felt stiff and weary in the evenings and reluctant to go out of camp; I developed proprietary claims to certain chairs and newspapers; I regularly drank three glasses of gin before dinner, never more or less, and went to bed immediately after the nine o'clock news. I was always awake and fretful an hour before reveille.
Wine is also absent from Charles's father's house. When Charles returns home after his first term at Oxford, old Mr Ryder makes a show of hospitality:
"What do you like to drink? Hayter, what have we for Mr Charles to drink?"
"There's some whisky."
"There's whisky. Perhaps you like something else? What else have we?"
"There isn't anything else in the house, sir."
"There's nothing else. You must tell Hayter what you would like and he will get it in. I never keep any wine now. I am forbidden it and no one comes to see me."
At the excruciating dinner party Mr Ryder holds ostensibly to entertain his son (at which he drinks barley-water), the food and the wine are equally tasteless.
Lord Brideshead's dislike of wine, and his explanation for it, is an economical stroke of characterisation which crystallises his profound obtuseness: "I like and think good the end to which wine is sometimes the means — the promotion of sympathy between man and man. But in my own case it does not achieve that end, so I neither like it nor think it good for me."
Brideshead's misunderstanding about the purpose of wine is perhaps inbred, the recognisable offspring of his father Lord Marchmain's pathetic and misguided hope that he will be able to ward off death because he has always "drunk fine claret".
If the absence of, or an abstention from, wine in Brideshead is a sure sign that something is wrong, its presence is no infallible indication that all is well. When Jasper, Charles's pompous cousin, is instructing Charles on how to behave in Oxford, he touches on the topic of wine: "And drink — no one minds a man getting tight once or twice a term. In fact, he ought to, on certain occasions. But I hear you are constantly seen drunk in the middle of the afternoon."
Like Lord Brideshead, Jasper is in the grip of a mistaken understanding of the use and value of wine. So, too, is the unspeakable Rex Mottram. Rex's mistress, Mrs Champion, remonstrates with him when he opens a large-format bottle of champagne:
"Why a Jeroboam, Rex?" she said peevishly. "You always want to have everything too big."
The same ignorant abuse of wine as a mere instrument of ostentation is visible when Rex visits Charles in Paris. They go out to dinner at Paillard's, then a famous restaurant in the Bois de Boulogne, and eat and drink sublimely:
I remember the dinner well — a soup of oseille, a sole quite simply cooked in a white-wine sauce, a caneton à la presse, a lemon soufflé. At the last minute, fearing that the whole thing was too simple for Rex, I added caviar aux blinis. And for wine I let him give me a bottle of 1906 Montrachet, then at its prime, and, with the duck, a Clos de Bèze of 1904.
These splendours are wasted on Rex, who smokes with the red burgundy, and who dismisses the fine old cognac Charles requests in favour of something more "treacly" in a "vast and mouldy bottle they kept for people of Rex's sort".
By contrast, Sebastian Flyte knows about wine, and knows what wine is good for. Everyone remembers the baroque wine-tasting scene at Brideshead, and the far-fetched, impressionistic, terms Sebastian and Charles use for the wines they drink. But already, when Sebastian calls on Charles and takes him for the first time to Brideshead, the choice of wine shows taste and knowledge:
"You're to come away at once, out of danger. I've got a motor-car and a basket of strawberries and a bottle of Château Peyraguey — which isn't a wine you've ever tasted, so don't pretend. It's heaven with strawberries."
Now known as Ch. Lafaurie-Peyraguey, and in 1855 ranked third among the wines of Sauternes after Yquem and La Tour-Blanche, this is indeed a sublime wine with soft fruit, to which it is better adapted than a more luscious Sauternes such as, to take an extreme example, Rieussec (at least as it is currently made).
What Sebastian understands, at least until he becomes an alcoholic, and what Charles through Sebastian's friendship also comes to see, is that wine ministers to the sense of being alive as do few other things. It is a secular shadow of that grace which Sebastian never quite forsakes, no matter how degraded he comes to seem in the eyes of the world. That is why it is not merely a casual choice of word when Sebastian says that Lafaurie-Peyraguey is "heaven" with strawberries.

Willow Brook is a tributary of Utley Brook in Susquehanna County and Wyoming County, in Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately  long and flows through Lenox Township in Susquehanna County and Nicholson Township in Wyoming County. The surficial geology in the vicinity of the stream consists mainly of Wisconsinan Till, bedrock, alluvium, wetlands, and a lake. A number of bridges have been constructed across it. The stream is classified as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.

Course
Willow Brook begins in Clark Pond in Lenox Township, Susquehanna County. It flows west-southwest for a short distance before entering a wetland. Here, it turns south-southeast, receiving an unnamed tributary from the right, passing through a small, unnamed pond, and leaving the wetland. The stream continues flowing in a generally south-southeasterly direction for more than a mile, receiving an unnamed tributary from the left in the process. The stream then turns south for several tenths of a mile. An unnamed distributary branches off from the left and Willow Brook enters a wetland. It then turns south-southwest for several tenths of a mile, entering another wetland, where it receives an unnamed tributary from the right. It then turns south for a few tenths of a mile before turning south-southeast, passing through a small wetland and entering Nicholson Township, Wyoming County. Several tenths of a mile further downstream, the stream reaches its confluence with Utley Brook.

Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Willow Brook is  above sea level. The elevation near the stream's source is  above sea level.

The surficial geology near the mouth of Willow Brook includes alluvium (which contains stratified silt, sand, and gravel), a till known as Wisconsinan Till, and bedrock consisting of sandstone and shale. In the vicinity of the lower reaches of the stream, there are patches of alluvium and wetlands, as well much Wisconsinan Till, all typically having thicknesses of  or more in the general area. Further upstream, the surficial geology in the area mostly consists of Wisconsinan Till, but there are large patches of bedrock consisting of sandstone and shale, smaller patches of alluvium and wetland, and a lake.

Watershed and biology
The mouth of Willow Brook is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Lenoxville. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Hop Bottom.

Willow Brook is classified as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.

History
Willow Brook was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1191497.

A steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge carrying State Route 1027 over Willow Brook was constructed in Nicholson Township, Wyoming County in 1953 and is  long. In 2014, a bridge replacement operation was carried out for a bridge carrying State Route 2019 (Schoolhouse Road) over the stream in Lenox Township, Susquehanna County. In August 2014, the completion of this project was scheduled for October 2014.

In 2013, Chief Oil & Gas LLC was issued an Erosion and Sediment Control permit for which the receiving waterbodies are Willow Brook and one of its unnamed tributaries.

About Extreme
Flatbeds
Why Extreme?
Extreme Trailers, LLC Announces Key Maintenance Features
(Dover, OH -7.10.2017) Extreme Trailers, LLC, manufacturers of commercial flatbed, drop deck, and dump semitrailers announced key patented trailer-maintenance features that are designed to reduce downtime while maximizing profitability for trailer owners. Les Smith, CEO and president Extreme Trailers, LLC made the announcement.
"Reduced downtime for our patented designs and systems was our goal as we planned our manufacturing process," said Les Smith, president of Extreme Trailers, LLC. "We took an innovative approach to redesigning standard product offerings common in the marketplace with the goal of helping fleets, trucking companies, dealers and owner operators eliminate or reduce typical maintenance issues that pile up and represent big losses in both time and profit."
Some of these maintenance features include the patented air system. It features remote-mounted brake valves, and other key components, allowing brake valves to be replaced in as little as 15 minutes. Another patented design is the bolt-on bumper which allows for simple and fast maintenance on multiple trailers for large fleets, trucking companies and owner-operators alike. Included in the bolt-on bumper is the lighting system that is equipped with a removable rear light panel. The removable rear light panel also makes service fast and easy. It includes a front inspection panel for easy access to electrical components such as the main seven-way harness, and ISO plugs.
Other examples of how Extreme Trailer's attention to detail, in both the design and manufacturing processes, has accomplished reduced maintenance costs for customers include, but are not limited to:
Eliminating all steel fasteners which are replaced with button-head nylon ties thus reducing corrosion and reducing service time of those components.
All plug-in assemblies, including the main seven-way harness, are coated with dielectric grease and sealed - resulting in reduced calcium chloride buildup -which ultimately protects wires, and prevents damage to electrical components.
"Our patented designs benefit customers with reduced downtime, enhanced revenues and greater profitability," continued Smith. "Our focus is always on how to produce products that help our customers become more efficient and more profitable."

Carhire Hebrides
Although referred to as The Isle of Harris it is actually joined to the Isle of Lewis, but has its own unique distinct sense of culture and "island" feel. 'Harris has a wide range of landscapes, a mixture of spectacular beaches contrasting with rugged mountain terrain which is compared to the face of the moon. The beach at Luskentyre was voted the best in Britain and one of the top 10 in the world. Travel magazine said Luskentyre, west of Tarbert, had 'Caribbean-white sand and Maldives-blue sea'. The small quiet "Bays" which historically were strong fishing communities are home to some of the oldest rocks formations in the world, being dated at some three thousand million years old. Harris is a scarcely populated area full of character, tranquillity, with magnificent scenery and beaches. The people are unassuming, perceptive and very warm. The isle of Harris is the original home of Harris Tweed.

Kelley Stand Road is an unpaved road running between East Arlington and Stratton, Vermont, in southern Vermont. It travels over a high plateau adjacent to the Lye Brook Wilderness in the Green Mountain National Forest (GMNF). The road originally served numerous logging camps and early settlements during the nineteenth century. From Stratton, the road continues eastward to West Wardsboro as a paved, year-round road. The western portion is dirt and not plowed or maintained during winter months.

History

The road is named for the Kelley Stand, an "old-time tavern", which was still in operation along the route circa 1913. Kelley Stand Road is notable as the site of Daniel Webster's famous Kelley Stand speech of July 1840; a historic marker commemorates the spot. The road is near the location near where Benton MacKaye first conceived his idea of a hiking trail that ran along the Appalachian Mountain range of the eastern United States.

Appalachian Trail and Long Trail

The Appalachian Trail (AT), and likewise the Long Trail (LT), which share the same path in the southern Green Mountains of Vermont, cross Kelley Stand Road before the trail crosses over the summit of Stratton Mountain, which lies to the north of the road.  Overnight AT/LT trailhead parking is available on the road, which also serves as an access point for other nearby trails.

Northbound from Kelley Stand Road the next AT/LT shelter is the Stratton Pond shelter at AT mile point 1625, and to the south lies the Story Spring AT/LT shelter at mile point 1615.

Damage from Tropical Storm Irene
On August 28, 2011, Tropical Storm Irene caused major damage to the road. Until scheduled repairs were made by the US Forest Service, it remained inaccessible from the Arlington side. Destinations could still be reached from the Stratton side. In September 2014, Kelley Stand Road was completely reopened from the Arlington side, after three years of reconstruction costing $3.8 million.

In Memoriam: Scott Plummer
by Kevin Johnson Monday, March 25th, 2019
Sad news to share today: Viraemia bassist Scott Plummer has died from suicide. The news was shared by bandmate Josh Hernandez on the group's Facebook page.
"I am sorry to announce my best friend who I loved like a brother took his life today. I tried to prevent this in every way I could. As some of you know many of our members have been suffering from depression. This has been our main hindrance from progressing and releasing new material," he wrote. "I moved with Scott from the humble town of Defiance, Ohio in 2007 to Phoenix, AZ with the goal of forming a band that was truly unique. That band became known as Viraemia. I love you Scott."
Plummer shocked many YouTube viewers with his playthrough of the band's song "Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation," which exemplifies their extreme technical style of death metal. The bassist employed incredible sweep arpeggios across his 10-string bass in addition to more rhythmic bass lines.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Scott Plummer.

Marcus Lemonis buys Lake Forest mansion
Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World
Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World and host of "The Profit," bought a Lake Forest mansion, which happens to be next door to another mansion he owns.
He paid $1.85 million for the 6,500-square-foot home at 650 Lake Road, according to the Chicago Tribune. The neighboring home is a seven-bedroom, 7,405-square-foot mansion that Lemonis bought in 2013 for $4.95 million.
Lemonis has owned a number of luxury residence in Lake Forest and in Chicago, and in June he sold a Gold Coast condominium for $3.25 million.
The two-story house he bought last month in Lake Forest was built in 1930 and designed by architect Walter Frazier. It has 4½ baths, six fireplaces and a one-bedroom coach house.
Jean Anderson of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff represented both the sellers and Lemonis. She could not be reached for comment.
Lake Forest is home to the third priciest listing in the Chicago area, the 13,000-square-foot Wyldwood estate with a $15 million asking price.
The market for multimillion-dollar homes in the Chicago area has already outperformed last year's tally, and market pros attributed the surge in luxury sales to a strong economy that has the rich more willing to spend. [Chicago Tribune] — John O'Brien

Home Perspectives Again, Arab and Muslim Leaders Asked to Join America to Kill Muslims...
Again, Arab and Muslim Leaders Asked to Join America to Kill Muslims or ELSE
Mohamed Khodr
Mohamed Khodr's Column
"O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you unto nations and tribes that you may come to know one another (not that you may despise each other). Truly, the most honored of you in God's sight is the greatest of you in piety and righteousness. God is all knowing, All Aware. (49:13)
Ten years ago, President George Bush (the father) called upon the Arab and Muslim world to join the coalition against Iraq to liberate Kuwait, a desert nation with oil. President Bush was forceful when he said "Aggression Will Not Stand" and drew a line in the sand. Despite the lies and propaganda of Iraqis killing Kuwaiti babies in their incubators, despite the false tears of a young girl in front of the American Congress repeating this story (later it was discovered that she was the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to Washington DC), despite Kuwait's hiring of the expensive public relations firm in Washington DC, Hill and Knowlton to indoctrinate the American people that this was an attack by Iraq against a small peaceful nation that should not stand; the majority of Arab and Muslim masses were against a Muslim nation invading another and looting its wealth and killing, imprisoning, torturing, and raping its citizens. Within one month the U.N. Security Council passed a dozen resolutions authorizing the coalition to act with force if Iraq doesn't withdraw from Kuwait. In his arrogance Saddam Hussein threw his people and the Arab Muslim world into the hands of the United States. To this day the man is unapologetic for the tragedy and suffering he inflicted upon his people, to Kuwait, and to the Arab world that to this day continues to pay the price for his moronic egotism. The Arabs have forever lost the moral and just argument over Israel's aggression and occupation of the Palestinian people. It seems the only time United Nations Resolutions are implemented is if they are against Muslims with the only exception being in Kosovo.
So why did the Arab nations join such a coalition against another Arab nation? The persuasive argument Bush Sr. used was five fold:
1. The Arabs cannot condemn Israel's invasion of Arab lands and not similarly condemn Iraq
2. Bush Sr. promised to deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by holding a peace conference that would initiate a peace process based on U.N. Resolutions 242 and 338. That was a major carrot and powerful incentive for the Arab nations that finally the United States is serious about resolving this conflict. Syria and Lebanon saw an opportunity to regain occupied lands as well.
3. The coalition would inflict much damage to Iraq therefore serving the selfish interests of animosity for Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States; countries that feared Iraq's military and Saddam's sense of power that already shook the region with his war against Iran Thus Arab countries could settle old scores with the madman Saddam.
4. Bush Sr. also promised economic and military aid to Arab nations after the war and as a corollary to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, thereby bribing the incompetent Arab regimes.
5. THE STICK: If the Arab nations didn't join the coalition or opposed American policy then America and its European allies will impose military and economic sanctions and cut off all aid to such nations. Such was the case with Jordan and Yemen whose economies suffered greatly.
Finally, Iraq was defeated and sanctions were imposed that continue to this day without any hope of ever being lifted. Because of Saddam's war (although the United States may have deliberately encouraged him) over 1.5 million Iraqi's have died with over 5,000 children dying each month. No other people in the world would suffer so extremely without overthrowing that regime except the uneducated, indoctrinated, emotionally manipulated Arab peoples in Iraq as they are under every single Arab regime.
The Madrid Conference was held in Spain without Israel even accepting a formal Palestinian delegation. That was ten years ago. What has America done for the Arab world since then? It has poured more billions of dollars, more sophisticated military and technological weapons, cast more vetoes to protect Israel, and has allowed Israel to confiscate more land, kill more Palestinians, demolish more homes, steal more water, and created more refugees. That has been the American reward to the most incompetent and egotistical leaders in the world for their submission to America's coalition against another Arab and Muslim nation. Given America's support for these autocratic regimes in the Arab/Muslim it has been the Muslim populations that have suffered oppression and human rights violations. America never has and never will accept true Islamic democratic governments in the region that will oppose American hegemony and Israel's decades of murder and oppression of the Palestinian people, both Christians and Muslims.
Islam teaches Muslims to fight against Injustice anywhere, perhaps we should start in our own backyard and regain our faith, culture, history, and self respect. The very word "Arab" is disrespected and despised around the world, yet Allah (SWT) gave us His holy word, the Qur'an, in Arabic. He gave the Qur'an to "those who think". Under the Ottomon Empire and later European colonial rule Islamic institutions and the Arabic language have been attacked More importantly, today none of the Arab/Muslim truly serve Islam or their people except as tools for their self interest. Their priorities have been media control and applause, oppressing freedom of expression and political pluralism, new palaces, cars, and ever expanding hypocrites surrounding them with applause. The country's income and budget are their own personal bank accounts.
After the tragic and painful Un-Islamic terrorist attack against the United States that innocently killed 6000 of my fellow Americans, Muslim organizations worldwide condemned the attack as contrary to the sanctity of life, prohibition against harming innocent civilians and committing suicide; America is clamoring for war and revenge. The primary suspect, whether guilty or not, is Osama Bin Laden and thus Afghanistan. But many in Bush's government are pushing for a wider massive attack against any Arab or Muslim nation that has any element of opposition to Israel. This may include Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, and Yemen. Bush has drawn a line in the sand just like his father. Mainly speaking of the Arab and Muslim world he said: "you make the choice. you are either with us or with terrorism. any regime that supports or harbors terrorism will be considered a hostile regime to the United States." The Arab League and Organization for Islamic Conferences are shaking and wetting themselves. These American puppets know they have no choice but to join in the murder of innocent Muslims or risk losing American money, weapons, support, even risk being eliminated either by America or by their own people once the Muslim casualties mount. No room for neutrality, no room to reject American imperialism and domination, no room for negotiation and logic, no room for justice. It's our way or hit the highway. Like all Americans I grieve for this tragedy and loss of life. I lived in Beirut in 1982 when Sharon was decimating hundreds of buildings with civilians living in them (America was silent when Israel does the killing). I know what it's like to pull people out of rubble alive, dead, or only their parts. But a greater tragedy for our nation is if these terrorists hijack our sanity, values, sense of justice, rule of law and the power of logic. We should defend our nation and prosecute those directly and indirectly responsible but we must not yield to the murder of the innocent lest we emulate the terrorists and began a cycle of violence unworthy of our nation and that may hark back to hurt and demean us.
So Bush awaits the answer of the Arabs. Do they have any other choice but to once again ten years later join the younger Bush's coalition and assist in killing innocent Muslims along with perhaps the guilty terrorists? YES, THEY DO. These leaders this time must exact a price for their cooperation from the United States. Without such American cooperation these leaders should abstain from such a coalition and prepare their peoples for hard sacrifices such as loss of economic aid and sanctions. They will find the Arab and Muslim peoples willing to endure such sacrifices that will reinvigorate them with self respect, dignity, faith, and a purpose for their already existing poverty.
But unfortunately we're asking them to have courage and sacrifice some of their billions and perhaps even their lives since Bush gave the order to the CIA to go back to its old and Israeli way of dealing with uncooperative people—–assassinations.
1. The Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Conference should send an immediate high level delegation to Washington DC to assess the evidence against Bin Laden or whomever.
2. If convinced they should return to the Arab League/O.I.C. and present the evidence. At such time both organizations (with Afghanistan present) should take a firm and definitive stand that they will join the coalition and fight terrorism on the following conditions.
a. That the coalition should only go after the responsible party/parties.
b. That an International Conference be held on "Terrorism" with no veto powers for any nation so that the very term is defined and that all nations who commit or support terrorism be identified and sanctioned and terrorism is rooted out of the nation.
c. That this conference discuss the root causes of "Terrorism" worldwide.
d. That this conference develop strategies to address such root causes.
e. That appropriate U.N. Security Council Resolutions be adopted to enforce such strategies.
f. That all applicable U.N. Resolutions be implemented within a given time frame, especially in the Middle East, as the most effective strategy to deal with root causes of terrorism. No more double standards will be tolerated by the Muslim world.
g. That peace negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations be held to deal with the conflicts in Chechnya and Kashmir, given that both conflicts include nations with nuclear capabilities.
h. That the Middle East be declared a nuclear free zone.
i. That the deadly economic sanctions against Iraq be lifted.
j. That a Marshall like plan be implemented by the entire world to lift the Arab and Muslim world from its economic deprivation and hopelessness and bring them into the fold of economic recovery.
k. That true democratic reforms be implemented in Arab/Muslim world allowing the people freedoms of expression, religion and movement. Much of the Muslim Fundamentalist movement is directed against their own leaders and not against the United States.
l. That the United States, Europe, and the Arab/Muslim world develop means of educating and communicating with each other in terms of their culture and faiths. Both worlds are arrogant yet ignorant of each other.
I do realize I am dreaming the impossible but it is the only dream I have to give me hope that our world can find peace and justice among nations. The western world is a world of arrogance of might and wealth combined with an utter disinterest and ignorance of the third world. To the west only the white Christian man has worth, value, and believability. While in the Muslim world there is an ignorance of the west combined with utter despair and frustration aimed at their plight, their leaders, and a culture of blaming the west for much of their self inflicted ailments. Both worlds fear what they do not know and make no effort to reach out to each other for understanding and mutual respect. Both worlds have more in common with each other in their faiths and aspirations then they know..
Living in America, despite the rash of crimes against Arabs/Muslims, gives one a perspective of freedom of religion and expression not existing in the Muslim world, yet Islam is the truest democratic faith. It's heartwarming that despite the attacks and loss in America so many American Christians and Jews are reaching out to Arab Americans and American Muslims for reassurance, protection, and assistance. I dare say that in this regard there is more compassion among Americans than is generally found in the Arab world. Americans when enlightened about an issue such as Israel's devastating and murderous regime inflicting horror upon the Palestinians they become more active on behalf of the Palestinians than the majority of American Muslims who are content in their silence and absence from political discourse. Tragically, our leaders are using this terroristic tragedy to attack their opposition and imprison anyone in their way under the pretext of "terrorism".
Wait a minute, I just heard that the Arab League has taken some serious action this time. They just met and decided if Israel kills more Palestinians they will call for another meeting.

Nike like to keep the athlete in the centre of their design process and always have, you only need to read our interview with Tobie Hatfield to know that, but this new Nature Amplified design ethos ushers in a new era of design focused on attempting to work harmoniously with nature.
The title is very self explanatory (as most Nike titles are); it's simply attempting to amplify what nature had already given us. This ethos seems to have started with the Free back in 2001, when Nike set out to design a shoe for the barefoot runner. Since then we've seen technological advancements such as FlyKnit for running and a wealth of eco-friendly, responsive technologies in football boots such as the Mercurial and recently launched Hypervenom.
Nike seem to be deliberately drawing attention to their designers and their design process lately, and it's something we welcome strongly, what with the company having over 600 designers and a notoriously secretive R&D department.
The Free FlyKnit is a great example of product to come out of this Nature Amplified design ethos and we're looking forward to seeing more new developments from Nike.

Q: json - create json object id based upon variable Is there a way to create a JSON object ID with a variable?
var json_result = [];
var id = 20;
json_result.push({id: {parentId: parentId, position: position}});

This results into a json object with the value 'id' as the id. I want to achieve to have the value '20' as the key.
EDIT: Include solution:
var json_result = {};
var id = 20;
json_result[id] = {parentId: parentId, position: position};

Now you can access parentId and position like this:
json_result[20].position
json_result[20].parentId

A: You cannot write such an object literal (it's not a "JSON object" by the way; just a plain Javascript object), but you can do it like this:
var o = {};
o[id] = {parentId: parentId, position: position};
json_result.push(o);

A: var json_result = [];
var id = 20;
var obj = {};
obj[id] = "something";
json_result.push(obj);

A: This is one of the reasons the JSON spec says that keys should be strings.  Your JSON should really look like this:
{
  "20": {
    "parentId": ...,
    "position": ...}
}

... or similar.  Check out http://json.org/example.html

A: Yes, you can do it like this:
var obj = {};
obj[id] = {parentId: parentId, position: position};
json_result.push(obj);

Like other integrations, you need to be an admin in order to enable the Webhooks integration.
The Webhooks integration allows you to be automatically notified when something happens in Front without having to constantly poll the API. It also gives you access to a new rule action to set up a URL that will receive an HTTP request every time the rule is triggered.
You can find documentation of the JSON format of the event here: http://dev.frontapp.com/#event-preview.
Go into your Settings and select Integrations. Click Webhooks, and Enable integration.
Click Save to finish enabling the Webhooks integration.
The Send to a Webhook option will now show up in your rules.
i can't find send to a webhook option!
Do you have the integration enabled? That must be done first in order to have the option in Rules.
Hi! Thanks for a great product and nice upgrades like webhooks and Zapier beta. We are implementing custom workflows between Front, Zapier, Gsheets, Asana and other apps, for multiple companies. It would be awesome to trigger "send canned respons" using rules in Front on incoming webhook. Each rule could have its own hook url when selected. It would open up a lot of possibilities. Custom integration is not an option. Thanks!
Can you clarify what you're trying to achieve exactly? It sounds like you want to be able to send canned response via rules, and that's currently possible. Please explain your use case if you can.
The data format sent by webhooks is described at http://dev.frontapp.com/#event-preview. If you need more data, please request it using the API.
Cori Morris , like your current outgoing webhook rule but for incoming. And in my case i would like to send a canned response from Front. We currently have a temporary workaround, which stores templates in google sheets, and then we just front to send. It would make more sense to use the canned responses that is already in front, it would simplify administration and iterations.
If you wants to have a webhook for incoming messages, you can set up a rule to be triggered on incoming messages. Webhooks are not limited to outgoing messages.
Additionally, sending a message using a canned response with the API is an improvement that is on our roadmap.
Cori Morris no, i believe you have misunderstood my request. I want to post JSON to a Front Rule from eg. Zapier.
Then i would like to populate a canned response with the JSON-data(with the same variables supported in the canned response).
Nice to hear that you plan similar improvements to the API, but that would require Zapier to support that feature as well. By enabling incoming webhooks(as i request) to trigger a rule in front app is a more flexible and "applicable right now".
Johan Frentz you cannot trigger a rule by posting JSON to Front. However, if you want to send a message with an HTTP request, you can use our API (cf: http://dev.frontapp.com/#send-new-message ).
If you are looking for a solution specific to Zapier, you can use our Zapier app (cf: https://community.frontapp.com/t/806kca/how-to-enable-and-use-the-zapier-integration ).
It looks like this covers outbound Posts, but what about inbound Posts Or Put commands. Can i send Frontapp an inbound command with webhooks.
I'm trying to update contact and custom fields to sync contact data with other 3rd party softwares like our CRM.
Our inbound webhooks are associated with messaging only. To update contacts' custom fields, please use the public API.
Cori Morris i have set up a webhook to tell my url about front events, the url is being hit by front, but the post is empty.
Deepak did you ever get this working? any content in the callback?
Could you send us an email about your issue so that we can look into your specific rule and conversation to troubleshoot.
Can variables be used in a webhook?

Q: $ \tan 1^\circ \cdot \tan 2^\circ \cdot \tan 3^\circ \cdots \tan 89^\circ$ How can I find the following product using elementary trigonometry?

$$ \tan 1^\circ \cdot \tan 2^\circ \cdot \tan 3^\circ \cdots \tan 89^\circ.$$

I have tried using a substitution, but nothing has worked.

A: HINT :
$$
\tan x\cdot\tan(90^\circ-x)=1.
$$

A: Hint: $\tan a^{\circ} = \cot (90-a)^{\circ}$.

A: First, let's re-arrange these terms so that we can make use of the hints in other answers.
$$\tan(1^\circ) \cdot \tan(89^\circ) \cdot \tan(2^\circ) \cdot \tan(88^\circ) \cdot\cdot\cdot \tan(44^\circ) \cdot \tan(46^\circ) \cdot \tan(45^\circ)$$
Here, we can see a clear pattern of $$\tan(x) \cdot\tan(90^\circ-x)$$ repeating, except for 45, who has no dance partner.
Now, we can use the fact that $$\tan(x) \cdot \tan(90^\circ - x) = 1$$ and reduce all the pairs of numbers to 1. We're left with
$$ 1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 \cdot \cdot \cdot \tan(45^\circ)$$
and since $$ tan(45^\circ) = 1 $$
we get an answer of $$\tan(1^\circ) \cdot \tan(2^\circ) \cdot \tan(3^\circ) \cdot\cdot\cdot \tan(89^\circ) = 1$$

The U.S. Air Force is About to Get a New Hypersonic Missile

The powerful Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon is a good step foward to getting a hypersonc missile into service.

Though the Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon lacks the speed and range of other hypersonic missile projects the Air Force is currently working on, its small size could allow it to arm a wide variety of fighter jets.
The U.S. Air Force's new Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon will undergo rocket booster testing later this week, bringing the program a step closer to fruition, despite earlier program hiccups. Air Force Magazine reported that an earlier ARRW test ended in failure due to several "dumb mistakes," including an incorrectly attached control surface, as well as improperly followed checklist. These mistakes ultimately led to an ARRW booster test failure, setting back the program back slightly.
The ARRW program is not the only hypersonic missile program that the Air Force has in the works. Their Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile is also in development, and is ultimately intended to breathe life into the flying branch's aging Cold War-era B-52 bombers.
Much ink has been spilled over hypersonic missiles, with terms like air-breathing, boost-glide, and glide vehicle liberally sprinkled throughout reports and articles. But what is the difference between the Air Force's two hypersonic missiles? It mostly boils down to size, range, and speed.
Hypersonic weapons like the ARRW are boost-glide type weapons. That is, they depend on a solid-fuel rocket to reach low-earth orbit much like a conventional intercontinental ballistic missile. Once at the appropriate altitude and hypersonic velocity, the glide vehicle separates from its booster rocket and glides to its target. Although gliders are unpowered, they have the potential to be extremely maneuverable in addition to flying at incredibly high speeds, two factors that significantly decrease the chance that they would be shot down by conventional air defense systems.
In contrast, weapons like the HACM are air-breathing and powered by an advanced high-speed scramjet-type engine. As with all engine designs—scramjet or otherwise—propulsion is contingent on atmospheric oxygen. This factor limits the altitude at which air-breathing hypersonic missiles like the HACM are able to fly, giving them a lower, and probably slower flight profile than boost-glide vehicles.
As boost-glide vehicles like the ARRW are rocket powered, they are also larger than air-breathing hypersonics like the HACM, an important logistical consideration. One Air Force official elaborated, saying that he could "put four ARRWs on a bomber, but I can put 20 HACMs on a bomber, if done right. Maybe more, if I have different pylon."
Given the HACM's more compact design, Air Force officials have also suggested that the missile could be launched from smaller fighter jet platforms like the F-15 and perhaps the F-35 or F-22 stealth platforms, potentially widening the scope of which airplanes can deliver hypersonic vehicles.
Ultimately the Air Force expects ARRW operational capability by 2022, an aggressive testing and production timeline that has already experienced testing snafus in addition to contending with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking about the Air Force's hypersonic programs during a recent panel discussion, Air Force Brig. Gen. Heath A. Collins emphasized preparedness, saying, "We need to start planning today for what comes next. We've got to keep that pump primed, keep our subject matter experts primed and focused on our challenges, not filtering off to pursue something else that they find more exciting."
