The curtain was brought down on 21 years of basketball at the Northgate Arena on Sunday night.
When the final buzzer sounded at the end of Cheshire Phoenix's heartbreaking 158-153 aggregate defeat to London Lions in the BBL Play-off semi-final, second leg, it also signified the end of Sunday nights under the yellow lights.
The Phoenix have a shiny, new 1,400 seater home to move into at the start of next season's BBL Championship when they take residence at the Cheshire Oaks Arena at Ellesmere Port Sports Village, an arena which finally stands alongside the very best in the league.
The new arena sees the Nix move from the heart of Chester back to nearer their spiritual home of Ellesmere Port, where the roots of the club were first sprouted in the early 1980s, but they will be moving with a growing fan base and a workable model for future growth.
But, for many, the departure from the Northgate will be bittersweet. It has been much maligned for years by some quarters for its unmistakeable yellow lighting and rock hard floor. But it has also been one of the greatest weapons in the armoury of the Chester Jets, Cheshire Jets and now the Cheshire Phoenix.
Now the dust is beginning to settle on what has been a tremendously entertaining season for Nix fans, where many a magical night such as Sunday has been had over the past eight months or so, those with longer memories who can recall the heyday of the Chester Jets and their all-conquering 2001-2002 'Jetwash' season, where they swept the board winning the league, BBL Trophy, BBL Cup and BBL Play-offs, may have gotten a little misty eyed when Sunday night's final buzzer sounded.
It was late 1993 when the Nix moved into the Northgate after entering the BBL as the Cheshire Jets and playing in Ellesmere Port.
They established themselves as part of British basketball's elite during the 1990s and made steady progress without making a sustained challenge for honours, although they did finish as runners-up in the BBL Trophy during the 1996-1997 season.
But it was the early 2000s where the Jets really stamped their authority on the league and made the city of Chester sit up and take notice that there was a revolution happening on Victoria Road.
They won the BBL Trophy at the end of the 2000-2001 season and finished second in the league - their highest finish up until that point.
And then came the 'Jetwash'. Everything that could have been won during the 2001-2002 season was won. Under the stewardship of lauded BBL coach Robbie Peers the Jets dominated the British basketball landscape and boasted talent in their ranks including MVP winner John Thomas and the league's leading scorer John McCord.
That level of success was always going to be nigh on impossible to sustain but the Jets did win the Trophy the next two years and had runners-up medals in the BBL Cup (2002-2003) and the play-offs (2003-2004), although their challenge for title honours it the league began to fall away with third and fifth placed finishes in the two seasons that followed the 'Jetwash'.
But in 2004-2005 they were once again, with the help of leading scorer Trey Moore, crowned kings of the BBL when they lifted the championship title. They were also narrowly beaten 75-78 by Newcastle Eagles in the play-off final at the NIA in Birmingham.
The club struggled in the two seasons that followed and came close to extinction until they were saved in 2007 and re-branded the Cheshire Jets.
Mid-table finishes followed for the next five years but there were losing final appearances in the BBL Trophy and BBL Cup during the 2009-2010 season, but the silverware has evaded the club for a decade.
But the club faced its toughest challenge in 2012 when, facing expulsion from the BBL after financial difficulties, the club's future was hanging by a thread.
But cometh the hour, cometh the community and, spearheaded by local businessman Andrew Donaldson, volunteers, fans and campaigners ensured the club was able to raise the necessary £50,000 in 22 days in order to retain its place at British basketball's top table.
The club has been on an upward trajectory since then and the move to the Cheshire Oaks Arena will ensure their chances for continued growth on an off the court are maximised.
This season has been a rollercoaster for Nix fans but how fitting that the end of an era should be an occasion so passionate and so meaningful. To have a team coached by someone of the calibre of John Coffino and have seen players including the likes of Demond Watt and former All-American Taylor King, the one-time number one high school player in the US, has been a privilege.
The Northgate has been synonymous with the club for over two decades but all good things come to an end. We can't hold on to the past forever. The move to the new arena will be a chance for new memories to be created, but those cherished moments when the Northgate Arena erupted into a deafening battle cry will never be forgotten. They'll always be part of a fabric a club that now truly belongs to the community.

We have just seen some of the top air purifiers in India. Notably, Philips tops the list. It is because they are the world leaders in this industry. Let us now go through the buying guide. This should make it easy for you.
We have already seen how the indoor air can be as impure as the outdoor air, if not more. Are you surprised at this fact? There is no need to be because we shall now list out the impurities that you would encounter indoors.
includes pollen, animal dander, spores, fungi, moulds, dust mites, and so on. The size of such particles can range from 0.04 microns to 100 microns. Remember, a micron is equal to 1/25000 of an inch. The HEPA filter is the best appliance to take care of such airborne impurities.
You need special types of air purifiers to tackle these impurities. We shall discuss these aspects. But, prior to that, you need to be aware of certain commonly used terms as far as air purifiers are concerned. You will come across these terms virtually every time you open a discussion on air purifiers.
Impurities are of various sizes. PM2.5 refers to those particulate matter having diameter less than 2.5 micrometres. Roughly translated, it amounts to 3% of the thickness of a human hair. Particles of this size are not visible to the naked eye. But, they are present in the atmosphere. They can cause dangerous harm to the lungs and other organs of our body should we inhale them on a regular basis.
Just as PM2.5 refers to particulate matter having a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less, PM10 refers to similar matter having diameter 10 micrometres or less. Comparatively, they are larger sized particles. They can also cause great harm when we inhale them.
To put it very simply, CADR is a measure of how quickly the air purifier works. The resultant figure denotes how many cubic feet of air the air purifier can purify in one minute. You also have this figure in cubic metres per hour. The higher the CADR, the better is the performance of the air purifier. There are different CADR numbers for dust, pollen, and smoke as far as air purifiers are concerned.
The principal job of the HEPA filter is to trap the dust and dirt. There are different ways of trapping the impurities depending on the size of the particle. These are inertial impaction, diffusion, interception, or sieving. It is imperative that the air purifiers have HEPA filters to perform successfully. All the ten air purifiers discussed above have HEPA filters.
We have just seen that HEPA filters are one type of filtering appliances present in the air purifiers. There are a couple of more types of air filters such as activated carbon filters, ion and ozone generators, and pre-filters. Let us now look at these processes in brief.
This is usually the first line of resistance to the impurities. You much have seen examples of the pre-filters in AC units. They are either made of foam or some sort of non-woven polyester material. They trap the larger particles of dust, animal hair, and other impurities.
The principal responsibility of the activated carbon filters is to eliminate VOCs and the bad odour caused by different kinds of materials and gases. Activated carbon filters adsorb the odours and obnoxious gases and neutralize them. One pound of activated carbon has a surface area of around 60 to 150 acres. Therefore, the larger the carbon filter better is the performance of the air purifier. Once the carbon filter becomes full of impurities, you need to replace the same.
These generators create ions (charged particles) and emit them into the air. These ions will cling to the impurities and cause them to fall down to the ground because of their weight. Similar is the case with ozone generators. The drawback is that inhaling ozone is not good for health. Secondly, an excess of ozone in the environment is harmful.
These are the different types of filters one normally associates with air purifiers. The impure air becomes fresh and pure after passing through these filters. Before deciding to purchase an air purifier, you need to look at these following factors.
Coverage area – Ensure that the coverage area of the air purifier is equal to or greater than the area of your room.
ACH ratings (Air change per hour) – This is a very important factor. It tells you how frequently the air purifier can exchange the air in a given room. For example, if you have a 20' X 20' room and an air purifier with ACH rating of 6, it entails that the air purifier is capable of exchanging the entire air in the room 6 times in an hour.
Price – It depends from model to model. You should also factor in the cost of replacing filters annually.
Energy Usage – Follow the BEE Star ratings in this regard.
Noise level – The noise level depends on the fan speed. The higher the fan speed, the noisier is the machine.
CADR – We have discussed this matter earlier.
Brand – As on date, Philips is the market leader as far as air purifiers are concerned. However, there are other models as well. We have discussed some of the other models.
1. What is the frequency of filter replacements in an air purifier?
It depends on the quality of the indoor and outdoor air. Normally, you need to replace the filters annually. However, if the air quality is poor like it is in cities like Delhi or Dhanbad, the frequency of replacing the filters could be shorter.
2. Which air purifier is the best in terms of performance?
One should always go for an air purifier that has a minimum of 3-stage purification. This should comprise of the pre-filter, activated carbon filters, and the HEPA filters. Some of the modern day air purifiers have UV filtration methods as well.
3. How do you reduce the noise created by the air purifiers?
The noise is due to the speed of the fans. You can reduce the noise by reducing the speed of the fans. The present-day air purifiers have built-in sensors that determine the level of impurities and adjust the fan speed accordingly. They also take care to reduce the speed considerably at night thereby providing a higher degree of comfort.
4. Is an air purifier essential today?
If you line in the vicinity of Delhi, you will never ask this question. Of late, Delhi has been in the news for the wrong reasons. There were reports of extreme pollution. In fact, you could see people wearing air masks everywhere. Under such circumstances, the presence of an air purifier becomes essential.
5. How effective is the HEPA filter?
The HEPA filter can remove 99.97% of PM2.5 impurities. That is an astounding performance by any standards.
6. What is the major drawback of having air purifiers?
The biggest drawback is that you need to change the air purifiers at regular intervals. It is better to enter into an AMC with the manufacturer. Alternatively, buy products that have a filter change alarm to notify you in case the filters need a replacement.
1Most of the power generated in India is via Thermal Plants where they burn coal which is a major source for PM 2.5 and many other pollutants. 2You can replace your Traditional Home Lights with LED lights that consume a lot less power, and you can also save some money. 3If you are living in an Individual house, Do plant some trees. Also, If you Apartments have a balcony, Do plant some trees. These are the tiny things that we can do to control the Air pollution. 4You might think It's not significant. But, If of us start planting trees at our home, then it can be a positive change.
Air purifiers have become more of a necessity than a luxury today. The quality of the air we breathe indoors is certainly not up to the mark. An air purifier can go a long way in improving its quality thereby improving our overall health.

Area 51's UFOs Attack the Roanoke Colony: Fred Van Lente on Archer & Armstrong #12
By Russ Burlingame - September 6, 2017 08:50 pm EDT
As Archer & Armstrong's "Far Faraway" storyline has built to a fever pitch, we got a month that's just full to brimming with hints being dropped for the future of the characters, the book and the Valiant Universe in general. It's the kind of standalone issue that you feel like somebody might come back to in a few years and say, "Oh, hey, nobody ever followed up on that nifty-sounding plot thread," which makes it even more of a must-read than usual. And, let's face it, folks--this book is a must-read. Since we do this commentary track, I haven't really reviewed the title yet, but it should be stated that this book is fun, smart, funny and action-packed; there aren't many books more deserving of your attention and your money. On that note--the interview which follows is spoiler-filled, which means you should really buy and read the book before you continue! Series writer Fred Van Lente joined us to discuss the issue, the future of the Valiant Universe and...Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure? Okay, then...! ComicBook.com: Now, how many of these conspiracy theories are things that you just had a passion for, versus things that you specifically researched for the "Far Faraway" storyline? Fred Van Lente: Of all the topics we've tackled, my interest in Mysterious Disappearances dates back to when I was a kid -- They used air specials on them all the time on early, early HBO. I've always been fascinated by the Lost Colony of Roanoke, I guess probably because I've been fascinated by the colonial period in general, and this book, A Kingdom Strange by James Horn, is pretty excellent. It's less mysterious once you look at the evidence -- the hapless English colonists were just absorbed by the local natives -- but it is still a fun read.
ComicBook.com: The next stage in human evolution is still pretty easily led by a charismatic leader who speaks in a loud voice. Is that commentary or just how the plot unfolded? Van Lente: Well, thanks to their hyper-tech, the next stage in human evolution has the minds of seventh graders and is obsessed with butts. So maybe not so strange. ComicBook.com: I understand the helmets--but is there a reason the greys all have bombadier scarves? Van Lente: To keep their necks warm. Duh. ComicBook.com: As the writer of the Comic Book History of Comics, have you got any special insight into how cave paintings like the ones we see here are similar and dissimilar to modern comics that you'd like to share? Van Lente: Jack Kirby should be as much of a household name as Stan Lee's, if not moreso, but he never had the skill and the burning need to be the center of attention that Lee does. ComicBook.com: You may not be the right person to ask here, but the color pallette seems a bit more subdued for this story arc. It suits the art well, but is it a question of the colorist trying to suit the art or am I just reading too much into the way the change of scenery is presented? Van Lente: You are right, I am the wrong person. But fortunately series colorist David Baron isn't. He's been with us since the prologue to this arc, #0, and I couldn't be happier with his work. I passed your question on to him and he says: "I feel that my colors overall are subdued compared to some of the other colorists in today's comics. I like to pick my places to go extreme as I feel that helps bring the characters in to a more realistic world. My main goal first is to always tell a story with my colors. The second is to blend with the art and to make it shine in the best ways possible."
Can we expect to hear more about Mary-Maria's dad in the near future? Lots of lost things seem to turn up in Far Faraway. Van Lente: Well -- I don't know that he's lost. She just doesn't know where he is. There's nothing particularly mysterious about that, though. ComicBook.com: We've had a bit of insight into Obie's writings, but not a ton. Are you playing the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure angle a bit, where you let the reader imagine what it is that's so great about it to change the world? It seems that letting everyone write their own version is almost by default more effective than trying to come up with a definitive world-changing holy text. Van Lente: Archer's worshippers first appeared in the original Archer & Armstrong storyline back in the 90s, which was part of the time-traveling Unity crossover, and I got the impression that that was a bit of Bill & Ted satire going on there. The idea here, though, is that Archer has a very specific philosophy -- if a simple one -- and that people have very good reasons to follow it. (My Action Philosophers background is helping quite a bit, here.) ComicBook.com: There is a whole lot of Valiant Universe-centric future talk in here. How much of that relates to stories that you or others are directly working on versus things that are a little more abstract? Van Lente: Why would I tell you that? ComicBook.com: And the goat? Is that like Quantum & Woody's goat? Van Lente: "Like?" ComicBook.com: Ivar seems much more giddy than I had expected.The Venn diagram for the three brothers' personalities would overlap very little... Van Lente: Yup, that's part of the idea. Ivar is still in the process of being defined, though, I'd say.

I have been enjoying my experience using my Sony Xperia Z3 tremendously. It is a great smartphone and I have integrated the Z3 into all aspects of my life (as my business and personal phone). You can read my previous tips on using it here. I was thrilled to also be able to test out Sony's SmartWatch 3. Wearable technology is becoming increasingly more popular and important as we look to facilitate our lives.
The Sony SmartWatch 3 was easy to integrate into my mobile lifestyle.
Pros: It has a handy built in GPS tracker, an accelerometer, compass and gyroscope, Wi-Fi, and it is completely waterproof. It also runs Android Wear seamlessly and will stay connected to my Z3 even if I am 10 meters away. I had a lot of fun trying out different watch faces and changing the look and feel of it every day.
Cons: I only have one con. I would like to see the battery life last longer. I did use the watch heavily every day so perhaps with an adjustment in my usage I would be able to get a longer battery life out of it. I used it at night for monitoring my sleep so I found that I had to charge it in the morning while getting ready to start my day and in the evening just before going to bed. That is not a deal breaker for me.
Make sure that the home screen is active on your SmartWatch 3.
Say "OK Google". If the command is recognized, the "Speak now" screen opens.
Say "Navigate" and then say your destination. Alternatively, say something like "Navigate to the nearest hotel". If your command is registered properly, the route appears on your SmartWatch 3.
On the navigation screen, swipe from right to left to view route information such as time and distance to the location.
Say something like "Find the Eiffel Tower", "Where is the closest supermarket?" or "How far is Starbucks from my home?". If your request is recognized, the relevant information appears on the SmartWatch 3.
I have this problem with my husband and daughter too. Hmmmm. While I hope to still be able to influence my family and change their behavior, I can use the SmartWatch 3 to order take out and use the voice commands to call the restaurant with my Xperia Z3. The SmartWatch 3 acts as a remote control with the Z3, which can be used when receiving or making phone calls. It can also be used to control the camera to snap pictures.
1. To accept the incoming call, swipe from right to left on the screen of your SmartWatch 3.
2. Use a phone, tablet or Bluetooth® headset to speak with the caller.
• Swipe from left to right on the screen of your SmartWatch 3.
• Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen of your SmartWatch 3, then select a message.
• Offline GPS support that defaults to your watch's GPS signal.
• Shows you your GPS strength prior to the start of your run or ride.
• Easy to read and customizable screen data (see the data that is most important to you, including average pace, current pace, time, distance, etc).
• Follow training plan workouts or create your own with audio coaching.
• Get audio updates while you work out about your total mileage, calorie count, pace, speed, mileage.
It does not function well as an umbrella. The good news is that the SmartWatch 3 is not only water resistant but it is completely waterproof. The SW3 has an IP68 rating which means you can go swimming with it on for up to 1/2 hour to a depth of 1.5 meters in fresh water. If you use it in a chlorinated pool it is recommended that you rinse it off with fresh water afterwards.
You can also check up to date weather forecasts right on your watch so if it is going to rain you can grab your umbrella before you head out.
I loved using the SmartWatch 3 at work. It is much more discrete to use in meetings to check for notifications and emails, than to be constantly on your smartphone. You can read and reply to emails directly on your SmartWatch 3. Each email is represented by a corresponding card on the screen of the watch. You can also speak into your SmartWatch 3 to send email messages to saved contacts. That is a great feature as well. I do find that you do need to speak clearly and enunciate your words properly or you may send some pretty interesting emails.
1. Make sure that the home screen is active on your SmartWatch 3.
2. Say "OK Google". If the command is recognized, the "Speak now" screen opens.
3. Say "Email" and the name of a contact that is saved to your phone or tablet, then say the text that you want to send.
4. Alternatively, you can say something like "Email Jack that I will be there tomorrow". In both cases, the message gets sent automatically.
1. Select the card that represents the email message that you want to reply to.
2. Swipe from right to left until you see Reply, then tap Reply.
3. Swipe upwards and select a predefined message, or enter a spoken reply by saying your message aloud. Once you're finished, the message gets sent automatically.
While the Sony SmartWatch 3 won't make you a super hero, it does help make your life easier and more versatile. It is a great smart watch for people with an active lifestyle and for work as well. It is comfortable to wear and seems like it was built to last. It is fun to use and I received many positive comments and inquiries when people say me using it.

I received a SmartWatch 3 from Sony for review purposes. Good or bad, my reviews and opinions are honest with my readers best interest in mind.

Q: how can i use loop to convert number of seasons from string to int and then take the number and assign it back in original place shows = [
["The Imperfects", "Science Fiction", "1", "entertaining"],
["Devil in Ohio", "Thriller", "1", "spooky"],
["The Crown", "Historical Drama", "4", "Powerful"],
["Narco-Saints", "Thriller", "1", "Entertaining"],
["In the Dark", "Crime Drama", "4", "intriguing"]]

how do i use loop to change the number of seasons from string to int and place it back into original spot in list?

A: Iterate over the list of lists. For each sub-list, enumerate its elements and try to convert to int. If it succeeds, replace the original value
shows = [
    ["The Imperfects", "Science Fiction", "1", "entertaining"],
    ["Devil in Ohio", "Thriller", "1", "spooky"],
    ["The Crown", "Historical Drama", "4", "Powerful"],
    ["Narco-Saints", "Thriller", "1", "Entertaining"],
    ["In the Dark", "Crime Drama", "4", "intriguing"]]

for show in shows:
    for i, e in enumerate(show):
        try:
            show[i] = int(e)
        except ValueError:
            pass

print(shows)

Output:
[['The Imperfects', 'Science Fiction', 1, 'entertaining'], ['Devil in Ohio', 'Thriller', 1, 'spooky'], ['The Crown', 'Historical Drama', 4, 'Powerful'], ['Narco-Saints', 'Thriller', 1, 'Entertaining'], ['In the Dark', 'Crime Drama', 4, 'intriguing']]

Alternative:
If you know that the value you want to convert is at index 2 and that it's always going to be a string representation of an integer then it's even simpler:
for show in shows:
    show[2] = int(show[2])

A: If your integer is always at the same place you could use this list comprehension:
new_shows = [[elem if index != 2 else int(elem) for index, elem in enumerate(show)] for show in shows]

Home/Watch: Ryan Day refused to say something nice about Michigan, but Jim Harbaugh praised Ohio State
Watch: Ryan Day refused to say something nice about Michigan, but Jim Harbaugh praised Ohio State
Jim Harbaugh may have had a nice thing to say about Ohio State, but Ryan Day had no interest in saying anything positive about Michigan.
Ahead of The Game on Saturday, Jim Harbaugh and Ryan Day were tasked with saying some positive things about the Ohio State and Michigan football programs, respectively.
While Harbaugh said The Horseshoe is a loud and iconic stadium, Day would not go there when it comes to The Big House. As far as the Michigan color scheme was concerned, Day is clearly not a fan of the maize and blue either. With a Big Ten East division crown on the line, this is by far and away the most important game of the Buckeyes and Wolverines' 2021 seasons up to this point.
The winner of this game will improve to 11-1 on the year and be one game away from reaching the College Football Playoff as Big Ten Champions.
Jim Harbaugh says nice thing about Ohio State, Ryan Day won't return the favor
This marks the sixth time Harbaugh will be coaching in The Game as the Michigan football coach. While he played for Bo Schembechler back in the day, Harbaugh has yet to lead his alma mater to victory over the Buckeyes. Though Day never played for Ohio State, he has yet to lose a game in Columbus, whether he has been the Buckeyes head coach or on Urban Meyer's offensive staff.
Though both Big Ten powers have awesome stadiums, props to Day for not giving into FOX's prompt about saying anything nice about the school up north. As for Harbaugh, it may be in his nature to say nice things about bitter rivals, but this cannot land well for Michigan fans who want nothing more than to beat the Buckeyes for once. This is their best opportunity to do it since 2016.
The winner of this game will go onto face the Big Ten West winner in Indianapolis next Saturday.

EV Rider TranSport Folding Travel Scooter
3.5/5 on January 5, 2017
A height-adjustable front tiller and a "digital wig-wag throttle".
A length of 36" and a decent turning radius of 32.3".
The two front wheels are very close, acting more like a single wheel, making it respond more like a 3-wheeler.
Does not come equipped with armrests, as standard, making it very unsafe for anyone with balance issues.
A state-of-the-art, good-looking, foldable scooter, with a tight turning radius. But please do be aware of its drawbacks, especially the armrest issue.
EV Rider TranSport Folding Travel Electric Mobility Scooter
The EV Rider TranSport Scooter (S34-FD) exemplifies an exciting new generation of one-piece, foldable, lightweight, airline and car-trunk friendly, electric, lightweight, transport scooters which makes real independence possible.
Seven features of the EV Rider TranSport Scooter:
1. With a suggested weight capacity of 250 lbs. it offers a top speed of 4 mph and a ground clearance of 2.4".
2. The EV Rider Transport Scooter comes with two 12V 12Ah SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries in a drop-in battery pack, requiring a 4-6 hours charge, as standard, though it's possible to upgrade to 24V 11.5Ah Lithium-ion batteries at an added expense of up to $400. The SLAs have a driving range of 10-15 miles and the Lithium-ions have the same range, but are 10 lbs. lighter. The SLAs cost about $60 and last up to two years but, as well as being lighter, the Lithium-ion batteries last up to five years before replacement. (PLEASE NOTE: If you have the standard SLA [Sealed Lead Acid] batteries installed and wish to add a Lithium-ion pack as a backup – you can mix and match. BUT if you do decide to upgrade you must also buy a separate charger as the standard SLA charger does not work with the Lithium-ion batteries.)
3. A length of 36" and a decent turning radius of 32.3", important in most elevators and tight spaces.
4. A height-adjustable front tiller and a "digital wig-wag throttle" which allows you to control the speed by pressing on the forward/backward levers on the tiller. One-handed operation is possible but I'd strongly advise using both hands!
5. The charger automatically converts from 110v to 220v which comes in very handy when traveling outside the US.
6. Without the batteries installed the EV Rider TranSport Scooter weighs 53 lbs., with the Lithium-ion batteries it weighs 60 lbs. and with the SLA batteries installed it weighs 70 lbs. Although this scooter is lighter than most in this category it would still be heavy for an elderly or disabled person to lift. So, while it is a great folding scooter, one person would still have great difficulty lifting it in and out of the trunk of a car or SUV. Certainly not for someone with a weak back!
7. A removable key ensures that the ignition system cannot be activated without permission.
The frame, platform and seat post come with a three-year (limited) warranty, the electronic components with a one-year (limited) warranty and the batteries are warranted for six months.
The two front wheels are very close, acting more like a single wheel, which detracts from the stability of a 4-wheel scooter, making it respond more like a 3-wheeler, but the EV Rider TranSport does have four anti-tip, stability wheels, one on each side of the plattform and two at the rear which does make for greater security and safety.
The 7" tires (front) and 8" tires (rear) are made of solid rubber which can make for a bumpy, jarring ride over uneven sidewalk or gravel.
One major drawback with this scooter is that because of its foldability it does NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH ARMRESTS, as standard, making it very unsafe for anyone, (like me!) with balance issues. It is possible to have armrests added but they will nullify the foldability of the scooter, defeating the purpose of the unit.
Also, because of the foldability, it is not possible to adjust or swivel the 16" wide seat, (seat height – cushion to floor – 20.5″), making it very hard for a tall person to get comfortable and raises the age-old problem of getting close to a table or bed.
The EV Rider TranSport Scooter does not come with a shopping basket or pouch for storage of valuables nor does it come with a bag or a hard case for protection during airline travel.
The EV Rider TranSport Scooter is a state-of-the-art, good-looking, foldable scooter, with its small size and tight turning radius making it perfect for tight spaces and for folding and unfolding while traveling. But please do be aware of its drawbacks, especially the armrest issue.

Honduran President Accused of Taking $1m Bribe From Drug Kingpin El Chapo
A former Honduran mayor and admitted mass murderer testified in Manhattan court Monday that he personally witnessed Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman deliver a $1 million bribe to the political campaign of current Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández.
The testimony surfaced at the trial of the president's brother, Juan Antonio Hernandez Alvarado, in federal court for alleged drug trafficking.
Amilcar Alexander Ardon, a murderous former Honduran mayor-turned-government witness in the case, told federal jurors that he saw the $1 million in cash — bundled in $50,000 and $100,000 piles — laid out on the table by Guzman during a meeting with Hernandez Alvarado.
"Chapo told Tony that he would be giving him one million dollars for Juan Orlando's campaign," testified Ardon, using Hernandez Alvarado's nickname.
"Chapo asked Don Amado to go to the car and bring in the money," the 43-year-old told the jury. "It was then laid out on the table. We counted the money. The money was contained in plastic bags. And it was in fifty-thousand and one-hundred-thousand-dollar bundles."
Prosecutors said last week during openings in Hernandez Alvarado's trial that jurors could expect to hear about a bribe made by Guzman, who is serving a life sentence plus 30 years in a Colorado super-max prison for drug trafficking.
Ardon testified that the meeting took place in the Honduran municipality of El Paraiso when he served as the mayor.
The Honduran president has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, and lawyers for his brother claim there is no evidence to substantiate Ardon's story.
During his Monday testimony, Ardon also admitted to being behind at least 56 murders.
Hernandez Alvarado faces up to life behind bars if convicted.
His trial is expected to last two weeks.

This Sea of Thieves Voyages Guide is for finding and collecting 'Voyages' in Sea of Thieves. Additionally, it will also shed some light on the sailing mechanism in the game. Below, we include details for how the quests in the game work and how you could sail your way to completing them!
Voyages are like quests in the game which help you earn gold and reputation for better progression in the game. These voyages are of varying difficulty some requiring many crewmembers while the easier ones can be carried out solo. The quests are acquired by talking to any of the three type of vendors in Sea of Thieves.
Each outpost will have one of these Trading Companies who can help you start a quest. The 'Gold Hoarder' is found in the beach region under a tent. These quests usually include finding treasure chests and bring them back to the vendor safely. The second one is the 'Order of Souls' found in a shop within an outpost.
Quests taken from this vendor include bringing back skulls to the vendor. The final vendor is the 'Merchant Alliance' found on the docks. They will require you to obtain livestock and other times scattered around the world and trade them back at the outpost. Each of these will grant you 3 options of voyages to choose from. Money will be deducted so choose one which you find interesting.
Next up, head to the Voyage Table on your ship. Set the selected voyage on the Captain's table and propose it to your other teammates. If they all vote to say 'Aye, aye, Captain!, then buckle up and start your engines. The information regarding that quest is automatically distributed to your crewmembers who can access it from their item wheel.
Place the acquired map in your inventory on the ship's navigation map to find the island where the quest is to be carried out. With your engines off and running, let's see how you can sail to your desired place without any issues.
Sailing will require continuous coordination with crewmembers and some crucial techniques. Firstly, raise the anchor on the upper deck of your ship by turning the wheel or more precisely the four arm crank. Keep moving the arm until a golden ring appears at which point the mechanism gets locked and you're all set.
The other teammates are then given the job to lowering or unfurling the sails on the side and the back of the ship. The ship is sided with metal cleats which can be altered in height. Heights of these sails affect how fast or slow you ship moves. So a high sail will mean your ship might be a little sluggish.
In the process, one of the most difficult jobs is to determine the direction of the wind. Represented by white lines, winds will vary in which direction your boat steers into. Make sure your boat is sailing in the middle of these wind lines for a maximum boost in speed of the ship.
You can alter the angles between the wind lines and your ship's general direction by using the small reel near the metal cleats on the vessel. This is carried out by pressing the action button (F) and adjusting the height by arrow keys.
For steering, the job is to handle the main wheel of the ship. Always read the compass next to it to navigate to the desired destination. While steering, always keeps in mind the course you have to take to reach north, south etc. You can revise the map under the decks on your ship which brings us to this next task.
One of your teammates can be assigned the job of going below deck and reading off the main map on the navigator's table and giving you instructions. He will also fix holes to keep out water in case of an attack. Holes can appear in both the bottom of the deck or at deck level due to storms, enemy fire, etc.
Bring up planks by 'Q' key and press the 'Use Item' key i.e 'LPM by default'. Planks are usually found in barrels which are scattered around the islands in the game. To dispose of the water that remains, bring up the bucket by 'Q' and use the item to pour water into it. Then throw the water overboard. Failure to do so will result in the ship getting sunk.
The 'Spotter' in the game is the job assigned to one who will look out for any trouble or danger ahead while sailing. He will run around the deck and climb up the crow's nest to look for any threats.
Finally, you've reached your destination, what do you do know? Stopping the ship works in two ways. You can either drop the anchor (action button, default: LPM) to bring your ship to a halt.
Alternatively, you can raise your sails such to slow you down enough to become stationary. In both cases remember to stop the vessel before you hit the shoreline. Some islands will have piers where you can stop. Others which don't prompt you to stop manually at a certain distance away from the shoreline.
This is all we have in our Sea of Thieves Voyages and Sailing Guide. If there is anything else that you would like to add, let us know in the comments section below!

Monday Night Raw Review - March 18, 2019
Seth Rollins Attacked Drew McIntyre and Confronted Universal Champion Brock Lesnar
It's about time Lesnar showed up on Raw. I realize the storyline is that he's a "lazy part-timer" who doesn't care about the company (which may be partially true), but it hasn't helped his storyline with Rollins any. There is far less excitement for that match than there was two months ago, but at least everyone played their rolls well in this segment. There was hype for both Rollins vs. Lesnar as well as Rollins vs. McIntyre, and seeing McIntyre interact with Lesnar (albeit briefly) was cool.
Finn Balor and Braun Strowman def. Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush
I'm sorry but I am not digging this Balor vs. Lashley feud whatsoever. They just don't have any chemistry together and I can't say I'm looking forward to a WrestleMania match between them over the Intercontinental Championship. This was a fairly basic tag team affair with nothing all that special about it. Strowman stepping in as Balor's mystery partner was pretty disappointing, just because I was hoping for someone new (or at least someone not as overexposed as Strowman). By the way, it doesn't get any more sad than Strowman entering the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania.
Alexa Bliss Hosted Moment of Bliss with Elias; Elias def. No Way jose
Bliss being out of the ring for as long as she has been is simply baffling to me. I would understand if she was hurt like she was late last year, but as far as I know, she's not, and these talk show segments have been extremely forgettable. It merely served as the set-up for Elias vs. Jose, which was filler at its finest. WWE better have something major in mind for Elias at WrestleMania, because if not, all these interruptions will be for naught.
Kurt Angle def. Chad Gable
Angle announced before the bout that his WrestleMania 35 opponent will be none other than... Baron Corbin. Yes, seriously. Many fans (myself included) believed it would be John Cena, and I suppose there's still a chance WWE swerves us at the last second by making that match, but it doesn't look likely. Sure, Angle and Corbin have had beef for nearly a year, but Corbin is a terrible final opponent for Angle. In fact, Gable would have been a much better choice. This was slightly slow early on, but once they picked up the pace down the stretch, it turned into a fun matchup.
WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Sasha Banks vs. Natalya Ended in a No Contest
Natalya and Beth Phoenix challenged The Boss 'n' Hug Connection for their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania, but based off Nia Jax and Tamina getting involved in this outing, it's bound to be a multi-team match. I'd prefer the standard two-on-two approach, but oh well. Banks vs. Natalya could have been really good but was cut short before they could reach that next gear.
Ricochet def. Jinder Mahal
What the hell happened to Ricochet's tag team with Aleister Black? I assume they're still a unit and that this was a rare week where they didn't team up, but they advanced to the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic just last week and appear to be in the running for shots at the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships. It was a perfectly fine showcase for Ricochet and he was over in front of this crowd, but this felt pointless.
Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey def. Dana Brooke
I don't think anyone actually viewed Brooke as a legitimate threat to Rousey, so keeping this short and sweet was the way to go. Rousey's quick decimation of Brooke was glorious, as were her post-match antics attacking more officials. This is the Ronda Rousey we should have gotten a long time ago. It'll be a big moment if she gets beat by Becky Lynch at WrestleMania. If Rousey does leave after the event, it's a shame this heel run would have been short-lived.
Apollo Crews def. Baron Corbin
Well, this was bizarre. As a match, this was decent while it lasted. I'm a fan of Crews', but it's incredibly odd that he would beat Corbin on the same show that it was announced that Corbin would face Angle in his retirement matchup at WrestleMania. As previously noted, it could end up being a massive swerve with Cena replacing Corbin at the last minute. Perhaps that's just wishful thinking, though. If that won't be the case, then this was a bad booking decision.
Michael Cole Interviewed Batista
I liked last week's segment with Batista and Triple H, but this was a much better promo from Batista. There was a lot less yelling and a lot more substance. He provided logic for why he's hated Triple H for so many years as well as why he left back in 2010. This is why I was hoping they'd acknowledge when Batista initially lobbied for the match years ago. Now let's see how Triple H responds.
Drew McIntyre def. seth Rollins
Rollins and McIntyre always work well together and this was another quality contest from them, but we've seen it enough times over the last eight months that it didn't feel as important as it should have. The distraction finish was lame, even though I understood what they were going for. If that's all the hype Rollins and Lesnar get between now and WrestleMania, then that's pathetic. On the bright side, it's a major victory for McIntyre, who can now challenge for the title coming out of WrestleMania (as long as WWE doesn't forget about this).
Man, what a weak edition of Raw so close to WrestleMania. It was so strange to see Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Aleister Black left off the show in favor of No Way Jose, Jinder Mahal and Apollo Crews. No disrespect to them, but I almost questioned whether I was watching a Main Event taping. Outside of the final half hour or so (and possible Angle vs. Gable), there weren't many redeeming qualities about this show. The three hours painfully dragged and didn't do much to get me any more pumped for WrestleMania than I was before.

There are many exquisite works of art produced by man; artists, designers and engineers have all played their part in the pantheon that represents the great feats of endeavour over the last thousand years. J. M. W. Turner, The Fighting Temeraire, Charles Barry's Highclere Castle for all you Downton Abbey enthusiasts, anything by Bach and the Bentley S1 Continental Fastback.
The fastest (and most expensive) car on the road in 1956, fabulous from any angle and offering the same level of comfort as your favourite Chesterfield sofa in front of a roaring fire with a spaniel at your feet.
The fusion of Bentley engineering and the design concept of H. J. Mulliner produced one of the most desirable motor vehicles of the era. Its appeal remains timeless and is regarded by collectors worldwide as one of the most beautiful high performance grand touring cars ever produced. Its luxurious interior and road manners are the pinnacle of the Bentley marque's Silent Sports Car philosophy.
The S-Type's new chassis incorporated improved brakes and suspension as well as an enlarged (4,887cc) and more powerful version of the existing inlet-over-exhaust, six-cylinder engine, which for the first time was identical in specification in both Rolls-Royce and Bentley forms. The Continental version came with a shorter radiator and higher gearing and, for a time at least, could be ordered with right-hand gear change, manual transmission.
This delightfully handsome Bentley was originally registered on 24th January 1956 and has been owned by the current vendor for the last 20 years. The blue coachwork is in good order as is the brightwork. Open the door on this Bentley and you are welcomed into one of the most aesthetically pleasing interiors ever to be designed on a motor car. The armchair-like seats are supremely comfortable and the dashboard can only be described as exquisite. The dials are deep set into walnut and easy to read whilst the switches are all beautifully to hand, resulting in an effortless drive. The engine performs exactly how this tried and trusted unit should, as does the four-speed automatic gearbox. Taking into account the style, grace and power of this S1 Continental Fastback can classic car motoring get any better than this.


Fortunate: The Fabulous, Fantastic Filly, written by Debbie Brady Shellady and illustrated by Victoria Peterson Laird, is the latest children's book published by the Write Place. It tells the true story of Fortunate, a foal that is born three weeks before she is expected. Small and shivering, Fortunate is soon rushed to the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center at Iowa State University, where she stays for three weeks. When Fortunate returns home to West Branch Horse Farm, her mother and their human friends work together to help her grow big and strong.
Like Shellady's first book—The Horse That Ate Christmas, which was published by the Write Place in 2016—Fortunate is based on actual events. Shellady is an avid rider and has boarded her horse at the real-life West Branch Horse Farm for many years. One chilly March morning, a foal—named Fortunate—was born almost a month premature. After receiving medical care, Fortunate eventually became a champion horse and had a foal of her own.
Debbie Brady Shellady worked as an educational consultant for the Mississippi Bend Area Education Agency for 35 years. She also served as a school counselor for Bennett Community Schools. Shellady has a Bachelor of Arts from Clarke University in Dubuque, Iowa, and a Master of Arts from the University of Iowa. She currently lives in Iowa City.
Fortunate: The Fabulous, Fantastic Filly is available for purchase on Amazon and BarnesandNoble.com.

Lorenzo Tassi (born 12 February 1995) is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder. He has been used as an attacking midfielder, as a second striker and as a deep-lying playmaker so far during his youth career.

Club career
Tassi made his Serie A debut at the age of 16 years and 99 days, making him the ninth-youngest player ever to debut in Serie A; he came on as a substitute for Brescia in a 2–2 draw at home against Fiorentina on 22 May 2011, and played the last 15 minutes of the match.

Already dubbed the "new Roberto Baggio" by the club's president at the time, Luigi Corioni, due to his playing role, style, and promising performances for Brescia at youth level, on the last day of the transfer market in the summer of 2011, Internazionale signed him on a co-ownership deal with Brescia for €2 million, meaning he would play for Inter's youth team during the 2011–12 season. Due to his young age, he played in Allievi Nazionali U-17 team in his first year with the club. He won the Torneo Città di Arco with the team.

On 20 June 2014 Inter bought the remaining 50% registration rights of Tassi from Brescia for another €250,000. On 24 July 2014 he was farmed to Lega Pro side Prato for the 2014–15 season.

In August 2015, he was sent on loan from Inter to Lega Pro side Savona for the 2015–16 season, along with his young Inter team-mate Demetrio Steffè.

In July 2016, Tassi was sent on loan from Inter to Serie B side Avellino. On 31 January 2017, Tassi returned to Inter, after spending the first half of the 2016–17 season on loan with Avellino; he was subsequently loaned out once again for the second half of the season to Lega Pro side FeralpiSalò.

On 14 January 2021, he signed a contract until 30 June 2021 with Serie C club Vis Pesaro.

Style of play
A talented midfielder, Tassi is a quick player with a good feet and slender build, who is good on the ball, and dangerous in attacking areas due to his ability provide assists for teammates or score decisive goals. Although he initially usually played as an attacking midfielder, he is a tactically versatile playmaker, who has also been used as a second striker, or even as central or defensive midfielder in recent seasons, in a deep-lying playmaking role. Widely regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in Italian football of his generation in his youth, his characteristics and playing role drew comparisons with Roberto Baggio, and also Andrea Pirlo.

Facebook Embedded Posts; Microsoft Renaming SkyDrive; Starbucks Gets Google Wi-Fi
Topping tech headlines Wednesday, Facebook is rolling out a new ability to embed posts on third-party sites, Microsoft has an undisclosed amount of time to rename its SkyDrive software, and Starbucks drops AT&T in favor of Google Wi-Fi.

Topping tech headlines Wednesday, Facebook began rolling out the ability to embed posts on third-party sites.
Just as you might embed a tweet or an Instagram photo on your blog, Facebook users can now copy and paste a snippet of code to share their posts. To add, click the arrow on the top right of a post and select "Embed Post." The option is available only for public posts. Facebook is partnering with Bleacher Report, CNN, Huffington Post, Mashable, and People to start, but plans a broader rollout soon.
In other news, Microsoft has agreed to rebrand its SkyDrive cloud service after losing a trademark case against the U.K.'s British Sky Broadcasting Group (BSkyB). The company has granted Redmond some time to make the transition; neither provided details on how long it will take. The announcement comes from a June decision by the English High Court, which found Microsoft guilty of infringing on BSkyB's trademark. Redmond initially planned to appeal, but has reconsidered.
Meanwhile, Starbucks is ditching its current AT&T Wi-Fi setup for a partnership with Google. An 18-month rollout will begin in August, with all 7,000 company-operated U.S. Starbucks stores on track to get free Google wireless access. Once the new system is in place, customers will be able to surf the Web at speeds up to 10 times faster than before; those in a Google Fiber city will get connected up to 100 times faster.
