Colchester, CT – Joseph Bialczak Killed In Crash On Middletown Road
Colchester, CT (July 17, 2019) – On Tuesday, July 16, emergency crews responded to the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Middletown Road near the intersection for Bulkeley Road.
Reports from the scene indicate that a truck, driven by 60-year-old John Moore, and a motorcycle, driven by 19-year-old Joseph Bialczak, collided along the roadway at approximately 9:20 p.m.
An investigation into the crash showed that Bialczak was riding on a 2018 Yamaha MT-07 motorcycle when the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 driven by Moore turned left into the lane. The motorcycle struck the driver's side door of the truck. Bialczak was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
A further investigation is needed to determine the at-fault party in the incident.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Joseph Bialczak at this time.

US President, Donald Trump Impeached.
Donald Trump has been impeached on two charges. The impeachment came about after the House voted 230 to 197 to charge him with 'abuse of power' and 229 to 198 with 'obstructing Congress' making him only the third president ever to be put on trial.
Donald Trump became the third American president to be impeached.
Nancy Pelosi said Donald Trump gave them no choice but to impeach him.
'It is tragic that the president's reckless actions make impeachment necessary. He gave us no choice,' she said
She threatened not to send impeachment articles to the Senate until Mitch McConnell announced the process under which the Senate would hold its trial.The vote was done while Trump spoke at a campaign rally in Michigan.
Donald Trump became the third president in American history to be impeached on Wednesday on a largely party line vote, setting up a formal trial next year in the Senate.
The impeachment vote capped off a three month investigation into the president's actions in regard to the Ukraine. The vote came at the end of a day long partisan debate on the House floor with Republicans charging Democrats with wanting to over turn the last presidential election and Democrats arguing the president tried to use a foreign power to help him win re-election.
'A great day for the constitution of the United States,' Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after the votes concluded.
The House held two separate votes – one on each article of impeachment. Pelosi presided over the votes and largely kept her party in line. And she silenced a few Democratic lawmakers who cheered the outcome with a flick of her wrist. The speaker made it clear before the vote she did not want Democrats to be celebrating what she considered a grave constitutional matter.
There were however two Democratic defections for th e first votes, Colin Peterson of Minnesota, who said he would be a no vote, and Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey ,who is reported to be switching to the Republican Party.
For the vote on the second article, those two were joined in the dissenting column by Maine Democrat, Jared Golden, who said he would vote for the first article,but not for the second.

Tomorrow's Polite Society event will discuss Bomb situations. I wanted to share some old discussion notes from the event held shortly after the Boston Marathon incident.
These are rough Polite Society Discussion notes.
o In one bomb class a bomb was concealed it in a flowerpot with a live plant covering it. It triggered with a motion detector that detonated the bomb when someone came within feet of the flowerpot.
o If the terrorist wants you blown up badly enough, he'll succeed and you'll never know what hit you.
o Hands hidden (possibly holding the switch to detonate the bomb) Glove?!!!
o The bomber focused, but unresponsive.
o Heavy luggage or backpacks that don't fit the situation.
§ The average weight of a bomb used by a suicide bomber is around 20 lbs.
§ The Madrid train bombers all had very heavy backpacks.
§ The Moscow bomber placed his bomb in a rolling suitcase.
§ Not all the bombers wear their bombs.
· Beware of any suspicious packages.
o The bomber might not be a suicide bomber. He or she might plant the bomb and walk/drive away.
§ Dangerous within 400 meters!
· If you are within 15 meters of the bomber when he detonates, you will likely die.
· If you are beyond 15 meters, you will likely live, but be seriously injured.
§ Ideally, distance combined with some type of cover that will stop shrapnel and projectiles is best.
o For the 500kg Oslo car bomb, people were likely hit by shrapnel up to 1/2 mile away!
o Primary objective is to get yourself and loved ones as far away from the bomber as possible.
o Once you've made it to safety, report the person to police.
o Don't hang around in the kill zone looking for a policeman.
· If you are armed with a firearm, should you shoot the bomber?
o If you are right about your guess and kill the bomber before he detonates, you will be a hero.
o If you are wrong you will be either blown up or arrested.
o If you decide to shoot the bomber, expect to die.
§ Remember that danger zone of 400 meters I talked about earlier?
§ How many of you can make a headshot at 400 meters with your concealed carry pistol?
§ If you can't, you are in the kill zone.
§ If the bomber detonates you will be seriously injured or killed.
§ By definition, if you are close enough to take a shot, you are going to be within range of the bomb's blast.
o If you do shoot the bomber, you must go for a head shot.
§ If he is wearing a bomb vest, your bullet will likely detonate the bomb if you hit it.
§ Even if you instantly incapacitate the bomber with a brain stem shot, the bomb still may detonate.
· Your bullet could cause it to blow.
· The possibilities are endless.
§ You don't know how the bomb is set to go off.
§ If you engage you have to expect to be blown up.
o You need to decide what you are going to do BEFORE it happens.
§ Study the subject and make your decision now.
§ You won't have time to consider all the variables in the heat of the moment.
o Often terrorist bomber have "handlers", "dispatchers", or security people assigned to them.
§ The role of these people is to protect the bomber in case anyone intervenes or to detonate the bomb if the terrorist gets cold feet.
§ Scan for anyone who appears to be paying undue attention to the situation, especially if that person is behind some type of cover or at a discreet distance away.
§ If you choose to shoot, you may be in a fight with more than just the bomber!
o When deciding to take the shot, not only are you dealing with a bomb, but you may have to fight five other people as well.
§ Look for people watching who are not scared or stunned or on cell phones.
§ Be cautious of people in uniforms.
o fire department uniforms telling you to do what doesn't seem safe.
· Use your common sense and flee if you think it's a ruse.
o If you shoot the bomber, or even if you just see the bomber blow up, do not approach the body!
§ Command detonated by another person.
o Try to get everyone else away too.
o Move quickly to cover after you shoot or he blows up.
o Resist the temptation to open any potential bomb to see what it is.
§ Russian bomb was triggered by the act of the bomber opening the suitcase.
§ If you think it's a bomb, then treat it like a bomb!
§ Get away and get to cover!
o Beware of the secondary device.
§ Bombers can use more than one bomb.
§ The original bomb is just designed to create havoc and bring in first responders.
· near the body designed to injure more people, specifically fire and police officers.
o NEVER EVACUATE TO A PARKING LOT!
§ Cars are the easiest place to hide large amounts of explosive for a secondary device.
§ One very common tactic is to place a small bomb in or near a building or public area.
§ The terrorist knows that the small bomb will trigger an evacuation.
§ He will then place a bigger bomb at the evacuation site to blow up all of the evacuees.
§ It's easy to hide a (big) bomb in a car.
o You will likely see deaths and serious injuries.
§ victims not be able to walk or hear you.
o Expect that and don't be stunned.
§ There are several videos of the immediate post blast of the Oslo bombing.
o This is one time when laying injured persons down to prevent spinal injury is counterproductive.
§ There may be a secondary device in the area.
§ Bombing victims seldom have the types of injuries that are aggravated by movement.
§ Get the injured to a safe place so that they aren't blown up again!
o Establish a casualty collection point behind some hard cover in an area that is as far away from the original bomb as possible.
§ Clear this area of secondary devices before unloading casualties.
§ It may take a while for EMS to enter the scene.
· Follow up with airway and breathing stabilization and other injuries.
o Improvised bandages and tourniquets.

Ludkowski: Plans for a joint Polish-Lithuanian government meeting
Published on 2019-09-19 | Znad Wilii
"There are plans for a joint meeting of Polish and Lithuanian governments," says Artur Ludkowski, director of the House of Polish Culture in Vilnius. A guest of our 'Political Salon' added that it would be the first joint meeting of Polish and Lithuanian governments in the history of both countries. According to the Prime Minister's advisor, relations between the two countries are now experiencing a golden age, and this is mainly thanks to the Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis and President Gitanas Nausėda.
—— [transcript of the interview below, TN] ——
Renata Witman: Renata Witman, welcome after a short holiday break. Our guest today is Artur Ludkowski, director of the House of Polish Culture in Vilnius and advisor to Prime Minister Skvernelis. Good morning, welcome. How do you like the broadcast of TVP Wilno?
Artur Ludkowski: It has only just begun, so we are yet to see.
RW: But have you seen it? Do you watch these shows?
AL: I watched the opening, the very first programme. It was good. I am very happy that there is a good crew and – what's most important – that almost 100% of people there come from the Vilnius region, the majority of them are Poles. So the team is solid. Maybe even [unintelligible] the editor works there, so in my opinion, the prospects are very good, and I wish them all the success. It depends a lot on the financial support from Poland as well, because it is a costly project. But in my opinion, it is a very good start and I hope that it will keep growing.
RW: Have you watched it on your own TV?
AL: No, I haven't watched it on mine.
RW: Why not?
AL: I've watched it in the Polish House because it's analogue…
RW: But have you tried to find it on your own TV?
AL: No.
RW: Because you had no time or no interest…?
AL: I had no time, but as far as I understand, you need to adjust your TV to analogue.
RW: Even now the listeners call us, those that have a terrestrial antenna. They cannot watch the broadcast, there are technical issues.
AL: These technical issues will certainly be solved in the future. And I think that it is important that this broadcast exists. I am not sure how exactly it's going to work, because there were talks about it being an insert into TVP Polonia, and then it turned out that there will be a separate TVP Wilno. Now there are mainly news segments but there will be more and more programmes. Technical issues, glitches are always there at the beginning…
RW: But the people, do they have enough information on how to overcome these issues?
AL: There was broadcast with a commentary on how to do it. In my opinion, this channel should also be available on cable television.
RW: Do you think this is realistic in the nearest future? And if it won't come to cable television, then what?
AL: You can still watch it on analogue…
RW: Which restricts the viewers.
AL: I think it all can be solved.
RW: The main goal is to pull the viewers from the Vilnius region away from Russian television. Do you think it's possible?
AL: I think that everything will happen gradually. Five channels have been created, they say the ratings are low, but let's do it slowly, step by step. Let's point out that the aim of the programme is to show news with current topics from the Vilnius region. When I spoke with the management of TVP Polonia, they said there are supposed to be news from abroad and from Poland, but first of all, they are to be built around local topics. I think that everyone will be eager to watch the news from their own town, their own region. So the prospects are good.
RW: If we quickly manage to solve the technical issues – decoders and whatnot one needs to buy to make it work… Let's change the topic. Are there plans for a joint Polish-Lithuanian government meeting?
AL: Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis proposed it during the last meeting with Prime Minister Morawiecki. That if there will be no changes in Poland, and the Prime Minister is confident that most likely there won't by any…
RW: After the elections that are right behind the corner?
AL: Yes. Then the Lithuanian Prime Minister would invite to a joint assembly of the Polish and Lithuanian governments. For example, somewhere in the borderlands. The meeting would allow two cabinets of ministers to get to know each other – not just the Prime Ministers, who already are on very good terms – but also the ministers from different departments. It could greatly influence the speed of decision making between the states. Personal relations always influence decisions. So this idea is very good and I think they will make it happen.
RW: And this would be the first joint meeting of this sort or was there something like this before?
AL: I haven't heard about anything like that. There is an interparliamentary Polish-Lithuanian group, they have been having joint meetings for a long time now, but…
RW: There were also working groups between the Polish and Lithuanian governments once.
AL: There were, but I haven't heard about the whole cabinets meeting. So in this sense, this will be the first time in history full cabinets will meet.
RW: And the working groups of the Polish and Lithuanian governments, will they be relaunched, or do they still work?
AL: The interparliamentary groups work.
RW: Interparliamentary ones, yes, but the working groups?
AL: There's more work between ministries happening now, for projects regarding energy, transport, cultural exchange, etc. So in my opinion, this venture will tighten Polish-Lithuanian relations even more.
RW: Are the Polish-Lithuanian relations in their golden age now, in your opinion?
AL: Yes, I think so. Just like many commentators say, four years ago one couldn't say we had any relations at all, we were in a sort of a cold war. This is why everyone nostalgically remembers the presidency of Adamkus, when we did have a golden age in [Polish-Lithuanian] relations. According to many commentators and in my opinion as well, these relations are now either at the same level, if not on a better one. This improvement, to a large extent, is thanks to the Prime Minister of Lithuania, who initiated the first meeting with the Polish PM, with the leaders of the ruling party, and gradually it transformed into an overall thaw in our relationship.
RW: Is President Nausėda also an important partner part of this?
AL: Yes. Both the president and the Seimas. We have recently had an interparliamentary assembly and we can see, in how many topics we can find common ground and how many issues can be solved, which not too long ago seemed too strange, too difficult to tackle…
RW: What issues are being solved now that couldn't be solved before?
AL: For examples those related to education. The issue of Polish studies took about 2 years to be solved. To obtain accreditation for the Konarski school, because there used to be three schools, back in Fabijoniškės, and then Pushkin, the changes in the concept behind the ministry, etc. – that all took about 2 years. Now we are heading in the right direction, step by step.
RW: And when will there be Polish classes, do you know? When will we have them in Antakalnis, because it was said that we would…
AL: This is a matter of the local government, though I do think that they have opened a primary school in Antakalnis. But don't take my word for it, cause as I said, this is a question for the local government.
RW: Media say that the example of Poland has inspired Lithuania to introduce new taxation. Do you know what new taxes will there be?
AL: This is still a matter to be discussed and the decision is made by the Seimas.
RW: Yes, but it is the government's initiative and they have support in the Seimas, so it's certain that it will be introduced.
AL: No, this is still only an initial phase, so it's too early to talk about anything certain. What I like about this idea is that once again – as underlined during the meeting between the President and the Prime Minister – Lithuania will strive for a balanced budget. It will be the third time in a row, which greatly surprised the representatives of Poland, since they only managed to do it for the first time this year – and we've been doing it for three. I think we have learnt from the crisis of 2008 that spending more money than we can allow ourselves to, can have various consequences. So the announcement of the President of Lithuania about the MPs, and we know that we are in a pre-election year and every MP will be automatically [unintelligible] suggested ends up and is approved by the Seimas. There are automatically many MPs, there are constituencies, the voters…
RW: And everyone wants to stand out. Will there be skirmishes?
AL: The president's stance, as far as I've heard in the media, is categorical. So far, it hasn't been used in Lithuania, but can be introduced with the rule fo 1/12, i.e. should there be drastic changes to the budget, it means that every month of the next year we will use 1/12 of the future budget. This system has been introduced in the United States already several times, as there's been some struggles between the President and the Congress. We haven't had it yet, but the declarations of the ruling politicians are rather clear, that we need to exhibit fiscal discipline.
RW: They are supposed to introduce a bank tax and a new tax on shopping centres. This is in the context of the Polish side inspiring the Lithuanian government. What do you think about the introduction of such new taxes?
AL: I think that the rich always have to pay more, so it's normal…
RW: Won't it turn out that the costs of this new, bigger tax are on the shoulders of consumers and bank clients?
AL: I don't have detailed data on this, but it is necessary to introduce some taxation on the banks. I remember that for a long time – I can't remember now how long – banks' taxes were on a minimal level. They have been running under a bill approved years ago and they would report losses suffered 10 years ago as their current expenses in order to increase their spending. So if you look at the taxes paid by banks, they are very minimal. On the other hand, the costs of the regular people, of everyone who uses banks, rise proportionally every year. It might be linked to the fact that there is virtually no competition among banks in Lithuania. We have merely a few banks, most of them Scandinavian, and the prices of transfers, costs of administration, they are rising. Since we are a rather small country, it would be ideal if we had a new competitory bank. A bank from Poland would be best.
RW: Do you think that the new bank tax is realistic?
AL: I think that everything is. This will become a matter of the Seimas, which is responsible for passing regulations.
RW: Yes, yes, and now the President suggests that next year 100 mln euro more will be spent on social objectives. And to get this money, the President suggests lifting the benefits on [unintelligible] for agricultural businesses and to increase taxes on sole proprietorships. Do you think this will happen?
AL: I don't know. That's why I'm saying that all these questions are in the hands of the Seimas.
RW: Because there are two issues at hand – one is that we should look for funds to cover increased social spendings, and one option is to impose taxes on banks and shopping centres, yet another option, proposed by the President, is to deplete the funds for agriculture.
AL: I think that the introduction of new taxation by the Seimas, during the election year, will be problematic. Most likely the MPs won't be eager to change anything drastically. There have been new changes, jostlings, partisan shifts, everyone is most likely confused…
RW: Today they are supposed to sign an agreement.
AL: Some factions disappear, new ones are being created – this is normal turbulence.
RW: Though it helps to have a solid parliamentary majority.
AL: But we know that in pre-election years, decision making takes a lot of time in the Seimas.
RW: Yes, but now, these are real promises, an increase in spending…
AL: One thing that we know is that this is a proposal of the President. The government agrees with most of these taxes, but let's be realistic – in the end, the decision will be taken by the Seimas.
RW: Prime Minister Skvernelis said that with the President they managed to find a compromise regarding the changes in taxation.
AL: As I said, there is a compromise regarding the taxes, but let's not forget that the final decision lies with the ones chosen by the nation – the Seimas.
RW: Do you think that that this term's Seimas will be able to find an agreement regarding the social policy?
AL: I hope so, but we'll see. So far my impression is that they are best for launching commissions for all types of investigations, rather than taking decisions related to our lives.
RW: What are all these investigating commissions for?
AL: In my view, this is a tactic of stirring the pot. I do not remember when was the last time that anything was completed. But this is the parliamentary reality.
RW: It takes practice, right? To distract from the important [issues], to simulate work…
AL: In my opinion, I would care more about [unintelligible] the Seimas to pass bills on regular life issues, like taxation, social benefits, and others. But after all, politicians are politicians, there will always be skirmishes. I just hope that there will be less and less.
RW: Thank you very much for participating in our audition.
AL: Thank you.
RW: Our guest was Artur Ludkowski, director of the House of Polish Culture in Vilnius and advisor to Prime Minister Skvernelis.

Unfortunately, sometimes tenants can be a total nightmare. If you need a bad tenant out fast, but don't want to go through the eviction process, here's what to do.
If this is the case, here's what you should do to solve the problem.
Even the worst tenants would rather keep the peace and pay their rent than get evicted or have the cops get involved. If you have a tenant who is being difficult, failing to pay rent, and/or violating lease terms, sit down and talk with your tenant. Before you do anything, you should make them aware of the problem and see what they have to say. If the tenant has been good in the past, the current issue may just be temporary. If it is, try talking to the tenant and see if they can make up rent payments or change their behavior. You should also let them know that you will be willing to break the lease in order for them to find a cheaper renting alternative (if they are very behind on rent payments and cannot pay, for instance).
The term "cash for keys" in the rental business is used to refer to paying off a tenant to vacate the premises. This can be a pretty simple and straightforward approach to getting your tenants to move out fast. Some landlords believe that this method lets a bad tenant get off too easily and validates their misbehavior. However, if you're in a pinch and need to get them out now, cash for keys may be the quickest and easiest way to do so.
First of all, you should talk to the tenant and explain the situation to them. They need to be aware of the fact that you do not want them staying in the unit any longer. Then, you should describe the consequences to the tenant and inform them that the law will get involved if they do not cooperate. Offer the incentive of cash for keys and discuss a move out date. If the tenant agrees, make sure to show up the day they are moving out to inspect the unit, obtain the keys, and give them cash.
You can decide how much to pay the tenant by exploring various options.
Security deposit: Consider paying back the security deposit that was paid at the beginning of the tenancy.
Pay the difference: Multiply the monthly rent amount by the remaining months in the lease term to make up the difference.
Moving costs: Offer to help with the costs of moving, such as moving trucks/movers.
Whatever you can afford: Come up with a flat amount of something like $500. If you can't afford much else, do what you can. Money should be enough of an incentive for a tenant to move out, especially if they aren't in good standing. Regardless of what you pay them, you'll be saving more money in the long run by getting them out.
If you choose to use any of the illegal methods above, you could be getting yourself into big trouble. When you're already dealing with a bad tenant, a lawsuit is the last thing you should want.

How Do We Avoid Costly Mistakes?
When I talk about FAST Leadership I always talk about why projects fail and how we can use FAST to avoid those failures.
One of the key reasons for failure is often because of a 'lack of focus' which results in the team, department or company doing the wrong job, and when you do the wrong job, it doesn't matter how well you do it, you are doomed to fail.
The latest incident which highlights this perfectly is the French Rail debacle, where French state owned railway firm orders 2,000 trains which are "too wide" for the platforms.
Unbelievable, but true, they have built the trains that are too wide, such that they cannot currently be used in 1300 or the 8,700 railway stations.
The engineers at the French railway network forgot to go and measure the actual distance between tracks and platforms.
In many of the stations the problem is just a matter of a few centimetres, but even so, too wide is too wide, even if it's just a millimetre.
Fixing this problem, by updating the stations, is going to cost in the region of 50m Euros, with some estimating that the eventual costs could actually be as high as 100m Euro's when the work is finally completed.
It doesn't matter how well you build the trains if they are too big, and consequently not fit for purpose, you have failed.
You have delivered the wrong thing. You were doing the wrong job!
Focus is all about having clear picture of success, understanding what's needed in order to achieve our goal. Having the trains able to operate in all stations clearly needs to be part of the vision for success.
Another one of the key reasons for failure is a 'lack of Accountability', and Accountability is about who does the job, the what, and do they have the right skills, do they have the right expectations, do they know clearly what their role and responsibility is.
Missing accountability was also a factor in this failure, which resulted again in the wrong job being done. This was because of wrong assumptions that were made, about who was responsible for what.
Part of the problem stems back to the separation of the rail organisation into two different companies, the Train Operator who is responsible for the trains, and the Rail Operator who is responsible for the network and the stations.
The Train Operator has admitted failing to verify measurements it was given by the Rail Operator before ordering the new trains.
They probably just assumed that it was the job of the Rail Operator to provide accurate data and therefore no need to check it.
And obviously the Rail Operator probably expected the data to be validated before the start of the ordering and build of 2000 new trains.
This lack of clear roles and responsibilities, and assumptions about who would do what, compounded the problem.
By using FAST Leadership they would have had a much better Focus and much clearer Accountability that would have prevented this problem from occurring.
That would have saved them the additional 50-100m Euros in cost; the reputation of the French rail companies; also the careers of the leaders; and would have allowed them to celebrate a tremendous success.

If you're worried that you won't be able to enjoy your favorite candies and treats this Easter, then fear not! There are several of your favorite treats and more that you can have with your braces, and won't provide much harm as long as you do some major cleaning afterwards. Our guests today have years of experience, and are experts in their field. Dr. Heidi Harman and the professional staff at H2O Orthodontics are here today to explain what you can and can't have in order to make your Easter in Kansas City, MO a great one!
Dr. Heidi Harman says that chocolate is perfectly safe to eat with braces. Anything without hard nuts or sticky caramel should be just fine for you to enjoy. Some examples are M&Ms, chocolate Easter bunnies (hollow or solid), Hershey's chocolate bars, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, or York Peppermint Patties. Just remember to brush and clean your teeth afterwards as so not to hinder your orthodontic progress!
Nothing's better for your overall health than a serving of fruit! Any soft fruits like bananas, peeled oranges, raspberries, or blueberries make a great snack and taste great. One of our friends at H2O Orthodontics says that a great way to eat fruit is in an Easter smoothie! Blending up a smoothie with some vanilla ice cream, blueberries, bananas, and milk will not only be a healthy alternative, but is fun to make with a little help from your kids!
Cupcakes, cookies, and brownies are just plain delicious, easy to bake, and are loved by everybody. Dr. Heidi Harman says that it's great to decorate any baked goods with your kids, or try a reduced sugar or sugar free recipe! Just be sure not to use nuts in your treats, as they are surprisingly hard and can break braces.
Instead of candy, there are lots of other things to place in Easter baskets that can make Easter morning just as special and fun! Dr. Heidi Harman mentions that just about anything considered a "stocking stuffer" can substitute for candy; from iTunes gift cards, to movie tickets. For boys, nerf blasters, video games, sports game tickets, or Legos make a great Easter surprise. For girls, art supplies, clothing store or Starbucks gift cards, makeup, or a new phone case and some ear buds are fantastic gifts sure to make them smile!
There's no better way than to spend Easter with you family. An H2O Orthodontics associate said that dyeing Easter eggs is a classic family event that's sure to be great fun! It's always nice to go out, so why not take your loved ones out for a special Easter picnic? Instead of candy, think of a special event to spend some quality family time together- something enjoyable that'll be remembered much more than just a few seconds of munching on jellybeans!
There are tons of great ways to make sure that your family wakes up with a smile on their faces on Easter, and these are only a few. The only limit is your imagination! Dr. Heidi Harman and the H2O Orthodontics team wish you all a "Happy Easter!" If you're looking for an experienced orthodontist in Kansas City, MO, they're here for you! If you or a loved one is recommended for orthodontic treatment, don't hesitate to call H2O Orthodontics at (913) 782-7223 for answers to any questions or concerns, or for more information on how to put together a great brace-friendly Easter basket.

Q: Preserving comments on graphs for exploratory data analysis In performing exploratory data analysis, I will often print out the graphs and write out comments/annotations etc.
Do people have suggestions for a better electronic methodology? I am especially interested in python/R.
I am looking for something 'quick (and dirty)' that doesn't slow down the exploratory work, but helps logging insights I have made.
What I could imagine is generating graphs as PDFs and then adding comments.
Ideally I would like the option to do this programmatically, so that if I redo the graphs I can 'automatically' add the comments back in.

A: Here's an easy solution that many people have found useful. If you find it trivial, I won't disagree. This cuts across statistical software, operating system and other computing details.
Just copy and paste your graphs into your favourite word or text processor and then add your own comments. That could mean MS Word, software supporting TeX, LaTeX, etc.
That's it. Clearly the advantages are simplicity (nothing new to learn) and flexibility (add what you want in the way that you want it).
This isn't an automated solution. But even automated solutions depend on being  fed information on the graphs and your comments, so what is that different?

A: I highly recommend Jupyter Notebook, which lets you create documents that contain interspersed code blocks, plots, and notes/documentation. The document can include markdown and latex, which is automatically rendered (much like writing on CrossValidated). When you run a code block, any text output and plots that it generates are added inline to the document. You can change a code block and re-run to update the output/plots. This is nice for testing things interactively (e.g. tweaking code/parameters to see what happens). I think it's easier than having to export figures and and paste them into a traditional, static document, especially if you change anything. You can export a notebook to PDF, etc. to get a static copy.
It's open source and works with Python, R, and other languages. The interface is browser-based, so it's cross-platform and easy to share notebooks. You can run the backend on your own machine, or you can host notebooks on a website so you/others can edit/view/run them from anywhere (the code will run on the server). Apparently there's a way to configure the notebook as the frontend to a compute cluster for parallel computations.

A: I tend to do more and more analyses in R notebooks within RStudio. This way, I can have code, annotations and graphs toghether in one place and don't have to produce pdfs all the time - which is a real time saver. You write text and code in an editor and by clicking on a button, the code is executed (and the graph drawn) in place. So text, code and plot stay neatly together. It is also very easy to convert into HTML or PDF by some mouse clicks.
I don't know, how well this works with Python, as I mostly use R.

A: It sounds like you want some kind of literate programming.  R affords Sweave, and Knitr that interface with LaTeX.  There are other options for different kinds of output formats, such as ODFweave for editable documents (like Word documents), and RMarkdown that can output multiple types (like HTML in addition to the above mentioned).  Other statistical software commonly have analogous features.
(There is a bit of up-front work in using these.  I typically do one-off projects instead of longer-term projects that require regular, and similar, reports, so I typically use @NickCox's method of dumping or copying to a file and writing comments around it.)

A: In R: Sometimes I add an extra plot to a pdf with some basic information. This is most useful if the annotations are short and relate to the plot data such that you can paste extra information. For example:
pdf("cars-plots.pdf")
plot(cars)
plot.new()
legend("center", bty = "n", legend =
           paste0("Data: 'cars'\n",
                  "cor = ", round(cor(cars)[1, 2], 2), "\n",
                  "N = ", nrow(cars), "\n",
                  Sys.Date()))
dev.off()

Alternatively, if you have longer annotations, producing a report using R Markdown might be a solution.

1/16th M4A3 Sherman Remote Controlled Tank With Smoke & Sound 2.4Ghz - WITH FREE EXTRA BATTERY WORTH 19.90$!
The Sherman is the newest RC tank from Heng Long. This is a high spec version with working smoke generator, sound effects and BB firing turret. This famous World War 2 Allied USA tank is a great addition to the Heng Long collection.
This is the brand new upgraded 2.4Ghz version. 2.4Ghz is more stable and gives better range as well as allowing the use of multiple models in the same area without interference.
The ultimate radio controlled tank for every 'wannabe' tank commander! This tank is feature packed and the transmitter gives you full control. One stick allows you to move the tank in all directions including rotating on its axis and pivot turning. The other stick controls the turret allowing you to take aim by rotating it in both directions and also up and down. Once you have your target lined up, hit the fire button on the transmitter and the tank will fire a small 6mm plastic BB, recoiling and making a shooting sound as it does it.
The tracks are independently powered with a large 540 each allowing the tank to tackle the toughest off road terrain. Unlike some cheap toy tanks, the tracks on these are made from multiple proper treads linked together and feature several shock absorbers on each side to give realistic working suspension. To top it off the tank has a highly detailed shell with authentic colour finish, realistic attachments and commander figure.
New 2.4Ghz version allows multiple tanks to be used in the same area without interference. Also gives better range and stability.
Are the tracks metal or plastic?

Q: How to count features within a radius distance? I use QGIS and I have building polygons like this:

and I would like to calculate the number of polygons within a certain radius (100m for example) for each building to evaluate how dense is the area where the building is located.
So the number of buildings "near by" would be a new field.

A: Use Field calculator with this expression:
array_length(
    overlay_nearest(
        @layer,
        $id,
        max_distance:=100,
        limit:=100  -- change this value if you expect more then 100 buildings to fall within the max. distance
    )
)

Result shown as label for each buliding - one of the buildings with red outlined 100m buffer - this building has 62 neighbors within 100 m:


Small business payments technology company iZettle is running a two-day 'rehab centre' for those addicted to online shopping.
Between 12-13 October, the company will be hosting a space in east London and inviting consumers to explore the benefits of shopping locally and with independent businesses.
Run by trained therapists, The Giant Corp Rehab Centre offers a variety of interactive sessions, including a group therapy and a digital distraction class and workshops with independent business owners aimed at encouraging a change in shopping habits.
It comes as iZettle, which is now owned by PayPal following the completion of a $2.2 billion acquisition deal last month, released research suggesting that one in three people in Britain believe they are 'addicted' to online shopping, while one in 12 said they make purchases online every day.
The research also shows that 35% of Brits claim they shop too much through 'one-click' buys and repeat purchasing online with giant retailers. Some 42% of respondents claim they shop too much online with giant retailers in general, with 18% shopping two or more times a week.
Edward Hallett, managing director at iZettle UK, says: "Our research shows that it is time for consumers to start thinking about their shopping habits, and choices, to keep the high street alive.
Athena Duncan, co-founder of Hackney florist Rebel Rebel, will run a workshop at the rehab centre where she will be teaching flower arrangements. She remarked: "We need our high streets and shops so we can experience real things and touch them, taste them and feel them.
The Giant Corp Rehab Centre is open from 10am to 5:30pm in Redchurch Street, Shoreditch. It is part of a wider iZettle marketing campaign encouraging UK consumers to think about their shopping habits and support local, independent businesses.
The rehab centre opens almost 24 hours after another high street retailer announced it has collapsed into administration. Women's fashion retailer Coast announced late on Thursday it is closing its 24 stores across the UK, while selling its 145-strong concession business to Karen Millen.
"The businesses had been facing financial difficulties due to structural challenges in the retail space and specifically the concession partner market, as well as a softening of demand for occasionwear," explained Mike Denny, one of the joint administrators at PwC.
"This sale puts the ongoing business on a firmer financial footing."
It's been mooted for some time now, but The Big Issue has announced that some of its sellers will start offering contactless payments thanks to iZettle.

The Republic of Thieves is a fantasy novel by American writer Scott Lynch, the third book in the Gentleman Bastard Sequence series. It details the continuing adventures of Locke Lamora and Jean Tannen, as well as Sabetha, Locke's previously absent love interest. The book was released on October 8, 2013, in the US and October 10 2013 in the UK & Commonwealth. It is published by Random House and Orion.

Synopsis
The book begins with the first meeting of Locke and Sabetha, the woman that he has been in love with throughout the series but has not been introduced until this book. Sabetha and Locke meet when they are still part of the child thief gang and she is charged with guiding him.

After this flashback, the scene shifts to the fallout from Red Seas Under Red Skies where Locke is dying and Jean is charged with helping him. Patience, of the Bondsmagi appears and offers the pair a deal. They can work with her faction of the Bondsmagi in order to rig elections in exchange for money and Locke's life. The catch is the fact that Sabetha is working for the other side.

From this point, the book switches between flashbacks concerning Locke and Sabetha learning from Father Chains and the present games between Sabetha and Locke.

Plot summary
The book begins with the first meeting of Locke and Sabetha, the woman that he has been in love with throughout the series but who has not been introduced until this book. Sabetha and Locke meet when they are still part of the Shade's Hill gang under the Thiefmaker and she's charged with making sure he and two other troublemakers do not get caught. After this, Locke falls for her but does not get to see her often. He stays awake at night looking for her. One day, Locke returns to Shade's Hill to hear from the older children that Sabetha has drowned and he will never see her again.

After this flashback, the scene shifts to the fallout from Red Seas Under Red Skies where Locke is dying and Jean is working to save his life. Jean brings each Physiker, or doctor, to Locke in hopes that they can save him. Jean kidnaps a physiker who has been unwilling to help. He is unable to help, but Locke and Jean soon have a party of thieves beating them due to kidnapping the physiker. Patience, of the Bondsmagi, appears after they have been beaten and offers the pair a deal. They can work with her faction of the Bondsmagi in order to rig elections, in favor of the Deep Roots Party, in exchange for money and Locke's life. They agree.

After agreeing, the Bondsmagi carry Locke to the ship to Karthain while Jean walks. Once aboard, they bring Locke to a special room where they will perform the healing. During the healing, Locke sees his dead associate, Bug, with blackened eyes warning him. The ceremony is finally complete and Locke is alive and hungry. The Bondsmagi are all extremely tired from helping. Afterward they learn that Sabetha is working for the other side, the Black Iris party, and has been there a few days.

When they arrive in Karthain, they play a number of childish pranks back and forth. Locke is tricked by Sabetha and he and Jean awaken on a luxurious boat. Locke and Jean barely escape this boat by cutting off a small boat and escaping to shore. After a multiple day journey back to the Karthain, Locke and Sabetha make a truce for the safety of themselves and Jean to prevent issues and ensure a good show for the Bondsmagi. The elections continue and near the end Patience explains to Locke and Sabetha that Locke may be an ancient Bondsmagus who successfully moved from one body to the body of a child. The cost of this was the plague mentioned in previous books. The final election result is 10 – 9 in favor of the Black Iris party. One of Locke's schemes plays out and a key Black Iris member changes his position to neutral making the final result 9 – 9 – 1.

Locke, Jean and Sabetha escape Karthain. Locke awakes in the night to find Patience there and Sabetha gone. Patience explains that Locke may or may not be the magus but she will not tell him. Sabetha has left after learning about this. Jean appears and Locke tells him he will respect Sabetha's wish for space and will only go after her if she would wish it.

The epilogue gives a story about the Falconer and his journey regaining power. The epilogue ends with the Falconer killing his mother, Patience.

Background
This is the third book in the Gentleman Bastards series and it took the longest to write. Between the previous book and this one, Scott Lynch was diagnosed with depression and faced divorce.

Pastor-de-kraski (em croata: Krasky ovcar) é uma raça utilizada para a proteção do gado desde a Idade Média na Eslovênia. Reavivada nos dias mais recentes, é reconhecido como um típico cão de guarda: vigilante e instintivamente desconfiado, que não hesita diante do perigo. De adestramento dito difícil, não é um cão recomendado para o convívio familiar, embora eficiente como cão de guarda. Até 1968, foi tratado como um só junto ao pastor jugoslavo, devido a seus pesos, habitat, e pelagem semelhantes.

Local pro skater and longtime musician Matt Rodriguez has a style all his own
For having had such a long, successful career as a professional skateboarder, going on trips around the world to film countless videos, landing in magazine spreads left and right, co-founding a popular footwear company called iPath, all while earning what many might call "legendary status" along the way, Matt Rodriguez is a really mellow, surprisingly normal guy. In fact, when Submerge arrived at Rodriguez's Midtown house in early January, we found him in his backyard shoveling dog poop. See, pro skaters are just like you and me.
One major difference between Rodriguez and the rest of us, though, is that the remainder of his yard, the part not covered in dog doo doo, is made up of a custom skate park with ramps built from salvaged wood.
"It was kind of like a scavenger hunt," Rodriguez said of his lengthy search for re-usable lumber. Although extremely well built, the ramps are steep and gnarly with tight, technical lines; definitely not easy to skate. In a way, that sort of sums up Rodriguez's style. He's known for rolling up to spots that to the untrained eye might not even look skateable, but before long he'll have a couple tricks bagged and will be ready for band practice (he plays drums in local band The Storytellers as well as percussion in a musical experiment called Blktop Project with fellow pro skaters Ray Barbee, Tommy Guerrero and Chuck Treece). A dirty drainage ditch here, a makeshift plywood ramp leaned up against an electrical box there, and Rodriguez can make anything and everything he approaches on his skateboard, no matter how sketchy or unusual of a spot it is, look downright stylish.
Case in point: After an interview sitting with Rodriguez amongst the ramps in his backyard, photographer Wes Davis and Rodriguez set out on one of a couple missions to snap some photos to accompany this article and Submerge decided to tag along. After loading up a couple skateboards and a case of camera equipment into one car, we headed for a bank spot in West Sacramento near Raley Field that Rodriguez wanted to session. "It's been here for years but was always fenced in, so I couldn't get to it," he said of the feature. The fence recently came down so he's taking full advantage. As we rolled up to the spot, Submerge couldn't help but notice that the small concrete bank Rodriguez spoke of was literally smack dab in the middle of a dirt field. Not where you would typically think to go to snap a photo of a skater, like, say, somewhere with more concrete.
"This is the story of my career, fucked up spots," Rodriguez joked.
We arranged three or four long, narrow pieces of wood as his run-up to the bank to gain speed. He'd start in the dirt with his board in hand and would sprint toward the makeshift ramp, hop on his board and then pop a trick on the lip of the bank. Davis lined up the shot from a number of angles, at times getting down and dirty laying flat on the ground to get the proper vantage point.
"Sometimes you'll be at a spot for hours trying to get a shot," Davis said of the tedious art that is photographing skating.
Lucky for us, Rodriguez was on this particular day and half-an-hour or so later we had a few keeper shots, some of which show the Tower Bridge directly behind Rodriguez mid-trick. We'd captured two Sacramento icons in one shot, a success indeed.
After the dirt field bank spot, we headed around the corner to an entrance near the ballpark and immediately started, pulling pieces of plywood off of nearby lumber piles, building a makeshift launch ramp and a landing with a tall obstacle in the middle for Rodriguez to olly over. You know, another typical Rodriguez style set-up consisting of randomly found wood and obstacles. Just as we were about done with the set-up and Rodriguez was getting ready to hit it, we heard someone yell at the top of their lungs, "Hey!" and we saw what looked to be like a security guard pointing at us from a distance. We thought nothing of it until we saw him start running, so we scurried back to our car and hopped in before he could give us any shit. Crisis avoided.
"Just like the old days," Rodriguez said, smiling ear to ear as we sped off, tires chirping.
On the car ride back to his house, Rodriguez spoke of wanting to get into photography, stating that it would be a good way to keep involved in the sport as he gets older. At 35, Rodriguez is surely no young buck, but one look at his part in the recently released iPath team video The Other Ones shows he's still at the top of his game and likely will not be dropping off the radar anytime soon. "Trust me, I've been a part of a lot of videos," Rodriguez said. "Some I'm proud of and some I'm not so proud of. This one, as a team we did some missions and covered some ground and gathered some good footage. It is what it is, I think it's good, honest skateboarding."
In the following interview with Rodriguez, you'll learn more about iPath and his involvement in the company, his passion for music and how it ties into his skating, his love for Sacramento and tips for growing dreadlocks. Pick up The Other Ones at local skate shops or find it online by searching "iPath The Other Ones."
What have you been up to lately? What have you been focusing your energy on?
Skate-wise, doing a lot with iPath right now, designing some shoes and trying to scout out some possible new members for the team. We just finished a video, The Other Ones, so just doing that, keeping that fire burning. And you know, music, The Storytellers and Blktop Project. We just did a Blktop tour in Japan.
It was awesome, we went for eight days. It was great.
You were one of the original founders of iPath back in the late '90s. Since then the company has gone through a couple of ownership changes and it seems like it's been on a bit of a roller coaster. What is your role at the company now?
Just someone who they, at least the new owners, look at as a headstone basically. Being there from the dirt up, going through all the metamorphosing, to team changes and new owners. Now it's on its third owner, and hopefully its last. Just being someone who they look to for direction, being a skater, you know, they figure, "This guy knows what he's doing and has been here from day one."
I've read that Klone Lab, the new owners, want to get the company back to its roots. It's got to feel good knowing that everyone is on the same page when it comes to realigning the company with it's original values and image, right?
Yeah, whereas a lot of stuff changed when Timberland bought it. They hired a general manager, he came in and just cut half the team, and the half of the team that he cut were big personalities and a big part of the company, that makes up the vibe. A lot of stuff went through change then. But Timberland came into the situation not knowing who the hell was who in skateboarding. Through the time they had it, it grew and maxed out every year and was showing increasing growth, but I just think it wasn't enough for them and they had other stuff on their plate. They actually sold Timberland, so the good thing is that they put iPath on the market for someone to take instead of canning it. They could have been like, "We're over it, sorry." But they realized that it's a collective of skaters and artists, and a lifestyle even beyond just skateboarding, and they respected that and they wanted to give it a chance for someone else to take the time and energy. So Klone Lab stepped in.
It's a tough market out there for small shoe companies, isn't it?
Oh yeah, you've got companies like Nike, even all their pros that they pay to skate for their team combined is still barely a chunk of what they pay Tiger Woods. So skating for Nike, it's fun, they can have fun with it, but it's not their livelihood. With something like iPath, from the original investors to the investors now, that's all they have, they have to make it work. But, you know, we're just wanting to take more road trips, trying to get articles, making some films, get it all out there and just keep it going. Just keep trying to show the raw side and the soul side of skating.
As a company, especially coming from a grassroots budget, let alone motive, it's not always easy. We don't have X amount of dollars to just blow and have fun with, we have to make every dollar count. Granted, not everything runs smooth, even when you have all the dollars to wipe your ass or sweaty forehead with. But nonetheless it's all about keeping going, nothing is going to be perfect. It's like a band, sometimes a member gets fed up and can't take it, or you want to bring a new member in, or someone wants to go in a different direction, or there's a falling out. Whatever you have left, you have to work with.
The iPath skate team has gone through changes recently and a lot of people were dropped, right? Who is officially on the team now? I read somewhere it is just you, Fred Gall, Kenny Reed and Steve Nesser. Is that true?
Yeah, for right now.
About The Other Ones, there's a long story behind why it didn't get "officially" released through iPath, can you touch on that please?
It's an independent effort from the team, because at the time iPath knew people were going to have to be cut, and they didn't want to put it out as "the iPath video" and then a month later, half the team is gone. So for now, for our individual talent and credibility, the video is out. It's out there as opposed to out of sight, out of mind. The team got together and were like, "Fuck it." iPath still put in some money to produce it, most of the footage in that video is from iPath tours, so iPath is still a big part of it.
The song during your part, you recorded that right?
Yeah that was me and Tommy [Guerrero], that was just on the cuff. I was like, "Yo I want to come down and throw down a rhythm." We set up the mics and just fucking went for it. He had a bass line and we just did layers.
Is this the first time you've recorded a song for a video part of yours?
No, I've done that before, but it was all percussion. This one was percussion, Tommy on bass, a little guitar, some melodica, some shakers.
Is that something you'll continue to do? Not a lot of skaters can say, "That's my song during my part."
I figure whatever I have to offer, you know? I'm going to need a song, why not throw down a little something?
How old were you when you started playing music? What instruments were you first drawn to?
In fourth grade I definitely was tearing down boxes and buckets and banging away on anything I could get my hands on. We had an extra room and I lived on Madison and Sunrise, and it was like all around me. I just had like boxes and buckets and pans. I'd play with my mom's coat hangers, I'd snap them so I had sticks. I finally got my first drum set when I was in sixth grade.
So it was percussion that drew you in?
Yeah, basically. Drumming and time, rhythms and patterns. I like how physically demanding it is, like skating. That's what attracted me to skating, because I used to break dance when I was young in San Jose. So when I first seen skating…
Wait a second, that didn't come up in my research! How into break dancing were you? And how old were you?
I'd go to battles, me and my older brother.
I was like 7 to 10 years old. Then I found my first skateboard when I was 10-and-a-half.
You found the board in one of your grandparents' closets, right?
Yeah, my grandpa's closet. It was my older brother's, but I'd never seen him ride it. I was like, "Sick! Something to roll on!" From then on I met skaters, and they showed me Thrasher mag and who were the dudes. I was like, "Oh sick, there's a whole world here." I was captivated.
You're 35 now and still going hard in such a physically demanding sport. How do you keep your body and mind so healthy and fit? What are your secrets?
It's just will. I don't ever see myself just being like, "Ugh I'm too old," or mad I'm not getting paid, or being sent around to do demonstrations. I'm going to skate, go find a ditch and have at it.
You skate with your trucks ridiculously loose. What's that all about?
Jeff Toland and Ricky Winsor and Sam Cunningham, so many amazing guys like that, I naturally gravitated to it because I grew up seeing it. Those dudes literally schooled me, I was basically blessed to grow up with those guys. They were raw, they rode their trucks super loose, they didn't give a shit, they were like, "Fuck you, we're skating! Don't talk shit or we'll caveman the side of your car's fender." They were just so raw. You know, back in the day learning flip tricks and whatnot… You evolve over time, your skating may change. I definitely realized my skating was changing and wanting to do something different. I always want to do something against the grain, you know. I get sick of seeing the same redundant shit out there. As far as skating with my trucks loose, that was just more of a way to be like, "How can I make my circumstances more screwed up and still pull it off?" Back then, they weren't doing the tricks that are around today, but nonetheless, it's possible. So I slowly worked my way looser and looser.
And now your trucks are barely on your board…
It's a challenge, yeah. My board's fucked, but I'm still rollin' away!
Have you always called Sacramento home?
Pretty much, yeah. I moved here when I was 11-and-a-half. Grew up all around skating, knowing different skaters around the perimeter, downtown and all the outskirts. I moved back to San Jose when I was 16 for two years only to realize I just loved it up here, all the trees–the people, the pace, just the vibe, you know? The seasons, you can actually see them. And just the people, the friends I met through skating here. So I moved back after high school. I've been here ever since. I go around the world, I've seen a lot of beautiful places, but when I'm coming home to Sac, I'm like, "Ah man, good old Sac."
Lastly, how long have you been growing those dreads?
Oh, this mop? Seven years. The secret to fast-growing, long hair is to eat a lot of beans. Lentils, peas and kidneys, it's all the calcium.

New York [Oct. 26, 2017] – Today, small business insurer Hiscox USA is launching a campaign to promote the "Hiscox Courage Award" at the Austin Film Festival (AFF).

"Filmmakers have a tough – if not impossible – job just getting some of these brave films made," said Kash Sree, executive creative director at gyro New York. "That's what really inspired us as we looked to praise these courageous filmmakers for their creative work."
The campaign will run from October 26 through November 2 and includes pre-roll idents, animations, and posters at the festival.
