NFL Investigator Says He Found Direct Evidence Against Brady

NEW YORK — The lawyer who investigated the New England Patriots insisted Tuesday that he found direct, not just circumstantial, evidence to show that quarterback Tom Brady knew team employees were deflating footballs.
Miffed by criticism from Brady's agent, Ted Wells held a conference call with reporters a day after the NFL suspended the Super Bowl MVP for the season's first four games.
Wells said his findings would have been strong enough to convince a jury under the "preponderance of evidence" standard, which is used in many civil cases.
Wells released his report May 6, asserting it was "more probable than not" that Brady "was at least generally aware" of plans by two team employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

His voice frequently rising Tuesday, Wells testily rebutted assertions from Don Yee, Brady's agent, questioning Wells' independence because his firm does other business with the NFL.
"What drove the decision in this report is one thing: It was the evidence," Wells said. "I could not ethically ignore the import and relevancy of those text messages and the other evidence."
Wells mentioned two text exchanges between officials' locker room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski. In one, McNally referred to himself as "the Deflator" and joked about going to ESPN. In another, Jastremski mentioned speaking to Brady the previous night, saying the quarterback knew McNally was stressed out by needing to deflate the balls.
"That is not circumstantial evidence," Wells said. "That is two of the participants in a scheme discussing what has taken place."
Yee called Wells' report "a significant and terrible disappointment," suggesting that it "reached a conclusion first, and then determined so-called facts later."

Along with denying any bias, Wells derided the idea that the NFL wanted the investigation to implicate a quarterback he described as "one of the most popular, iconic players in the league."

"That does not make sense," Wells said. "It's a ridiculous allegation."
Brady plans to appeal his four-game suspension. The Patriots were penalized $1 million — matching the largest fine in league history — and docked two draft picks. Owner Bob Kraft has declared his "unconditional support" for his two-time MVP quarterback.
Wells said the Patriots were cooperative, with two major exceptions: declining a request for a second interview with McNally, and Brady's refusal to turn over phone records. Wells said he told Brady and Yee he did not need to see his phone and would accept a list of communications.
Wells wouldn't estimate how much his investigation cost the NFL but said "no question it's in the millions of dollars."

At least one person was killed after live rounds were fired at the supporters of the new premier Mahinda Rajapaksa in Sri Lanka on Sunday, by the bodyguards of Petroleum Minister Arjuna Ranatunga, a loyalist of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, amid political crisis in the country.
According to the police, one person succumbed to injuries, while two others were hospitalised in the shooting incident. A security personnel was also arrested at the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) premises in Dematagoda following a tense situation on Sunday, they said.
When they were not allowed to move out, shots were fired which injured three persons. Unconfirmed reports said that two of Ranatunga's security personnel have been arrested.
A supporter of Wickremesinghe, Ranatunga was sacked by Sirisena.
Wickremesinghe however, holds his sacking was illegal and unconstitutional.
Political crisis emerged in Sri Lanka on Friday when President Sirisena sacked prime minister Wickremesinghe and appointed former strongman Rajapaksa as the new prime minister.


This month we would like to share with you what is happening in our European Office, based in Walsall. From this office many nations around the world are being influenced and people's lives are being changed. From here we distribute many DVDs and CDs of Andrew's teachings and it is from here in our helpline that many people are ministered to on a daily basis. The ministry's website can be browsed in 15 languages and translation of many books is happening around the world. More news on our translation work will follow later in the newsletter. Additionally Charis Bible College prepares many men and women for ministry in all walks of life here at this site. From the offices administration of the ministry takes place and we have developed a distribution centre for materials in Hungary with offices in South Africa, India, Germany and later this year Singapore, Hong Kong and the possibility of Australia. Our God is a big God, who gives us big dreams and helps us to fulfil them. Lives change, situations change, circumstances change all because of the word of God.
Translation Work From China to Europe taking in Asia, Africa and multiple European nations we are now printing many of Andrew's books in 43 languages. On our website you will have seen Andrew's report from China where we saw great things in the underground church and we were able to distribute 5 books in Chinese. With 5 more books in the process of being printed, we are helping to change lives in the largest nation on earth. From our distribution point in Hungary, we see lives being changed in many nations across Europe as people read about what God has done for them through Christ, in their own language. It is an amazing thing to observe people weeping over the message they are receiving in their native tongue. Check out our website and see the books that have been translated. Many are being published as eBooks, enabling people to download these books straight onto their computer in their own language. Praise God for men and woman who give up many hours of their time to help us translate these materials into foreign languages, and it just keeps growing and growing. Praise God that we can influence nations.
Charis Bible College – England CBC is flourishing this year. We are set to have 35 second years graduate at our Grace & Faith Family Camp this May. We will promote 38 full time students from first to second year as well as honouring about 20 correspondence students who have completed the first year curriculum, many of whom will come and join the 2nd year class in September. In addition to the full time students we currently have 13 students enrolled on our Night School program which started in September 2010. Our third year class, though few in number this year (14) has been a dynamic group, ministering to the students and also taking CBC out into the community, praying for people on the local estates and on the local streets. These teams have seen people saved and have encouraged many others. It's been a full year already; students have been on mission trips to South Africa, Holland and even the UK and over the next few months trips are planned for Spain, Hungary and the Philippines. Find out more from the CBC England website.
Prison Ministry Notes from Sandie Hicks, Chaplin at Dovegate prison. I want to tell you of the amazing things that God is doing in Dovegate and how you have blessed us as a community with the wonderful teaching we have in the prison from Andrew Wommack and Charis Bible College. The director of the prison has allowed CDs, DVDs, books & courses to be sent into us and former CBC student, Andrea Stafford and a team of helpers teach twice weekly in the prison and distribute the courses and materials. These people have been instrumental in seeing many men's lives touched. They have seen a young Muslim man led to Christ and saw God touch his body in healing. Shortly after being moved to another prison he later told me that Jesus Himself walked him to the gate and he registered in the next prison as a Christian, we are so blessed - Praise the Lord! Andrew, thank you for allowing us to receive the materials that give such sound teaching to the men in the prison. One man, over a period of 3 months, witnessed to every man in the prison who came either side of him and he ensured that each one left his presence with a bible. We keep replenishing his stocks. The straight forward teaching of Andrew has helped me minister to others - but not before it was rooted in me. I have matured as a Christian and seen many dramatic changes in my life as I walked in Faith through difficult situations. I am so blessed!

Repaired Word, installed Word, reinstalled Outlook.
Nothing has changed. Still slow.
Try doing a disk cleanup, or at least a defrag. Although MS Office is a resource hog, it should not take long to open.
Also, look to see if any add-ins are installed, and disable them. It may be causing the problem as well.
If those do not work, run chkdsk and see if there is any disk issues.
I will try chkdsk and defrag as well.

Home and grid batteries sell out as Tesla gears up to launch new car
Source: Umair Irfan, E&E reporter • Posted: Friday, August 7, 2015
For Tesla Motors Inc., stationary energy storage is shaping up to be a big part of its business.
The company introduced a home battery storage system, Powerwall, and a larger, utility-scale storage unit called Powerpack, in April (ClimateWire, June 10).
"The demand has been really crazy. It's well over a billion dollars" of reservations, said Tesla CEO Elon Musk yesterday during a quarterly earnings call. "We're basically sold out of what we can make in 2016 at this point."
Storing electricity, whether on the grid or in homes, has value beyond smoothing output from intermittent renewables, Musk observed. Large batteries on the electric grid can respond faster than generators and give utilities the opportunity to rethink the grid, allowing them to build generation and transmission to meet average demand instead of peak demand.
In homes, batteries make the most sense in regions like Germany and Australia with time-of-use electricity prices that fluctuate with demand, Musk said.
Earlier this year, Musk said he expected utility-scale storage products to make up 80 percent of Tesla's stationary battery business.
According to a letter to shareholders, Tesla reported that it generated $14 million from vehicle sales and $27 million from regulatory credits. The company produced a record 12,807 vehicles during the second quarter.
During the call, Musk said the company is considering factories in other countries to meet growing demand in foreign markets and is optimistic about having the production capacity to do so. "If you go back to 2010, we were producing 500 cars a year," he said. "Now we make 500 cars in three days."
Tesla is now gearing up to start deliveries of its new car, the Model X, in September.
"The Model X is a particularly challenging car to build, maybe the hardest car to build in the world, but it is an amazing vehicle, and I think it's going to blow people away," Musk said.

Whether you have metal cabinet hardware made of antique brass, modern stainless steel or something in between, it requires regular cleaning. The dirt and bacteria from your hands and the grease from cooking can leave your metal cabinet hardware looking and feeling grubby. If the hardware appears very dirty or tarnished, you might need to remove it to get it thoroughly clean. Keep your cabinets and its hardware looking new by adding it to a regular weekly or monthly cleaning routine.
Fill a bowl or sink with warm water and add a squirt of dishwashing liquid or olive-based soap. Swish the water around with your hand to make suds.
Dip a rag into the soapy water and wring it out.
Wipe the cabinet hardware with the soapy rag. For tough grime, dip a soft toothbrush into the water and scrub.
Rinse the rag, wring it out and wipe the cabinet hardware to remove the soap residue.
Buff the hardware with a dry chamois cloth to polish and shine it.
Pour 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a spray bottle and shake the bottle to mix.
Spray a rag with the vinegar solution until it is damp but not dripping.
Wipe the hardware with the vinegar-soaked cloth. Rinse the cloth if necessary and wet it again with the vinegar mixture.
Buff the hardware with a dry chamois cloth for a nice polish and sheen.
Unscrew the cabinet hardware from the inside with a screwdriver.
Fill a sink or bucket with hot water and add enough dishwashing liquid to make suds. If desired, add 1/2 cup white vinegar.
Submerge the hardware in the soapy water for several hours or overnight.
Remove the hardware from the water one piece at a time and scrub it with a soft toothbrush. If the hardware is tarnished, spray the toothbrush with white vinegar and sprinkle the bristles with table salt before scrubbing.
Rinse the hardware and buff it with a chamois cloth to restore shine.
If salt and vinegar do not remove heavy tarnishing from brass, use a product designed for removing tarnish following the product's instructions.
To sanitize cabinet hardware after someone in the family has been sick, dilute 1/4 cup liquid chlorine bleach in 3/4 cup hot water, spray it on the hardware and allow it to sit for 30 minutes before wiping it away.
Rubbing alcohol adds a nice shine to metal cabinet hardware as it removes water spots.
Wear rubber gloves and open windows when working with bleach.

Cloudflare + Mozilla: Helping build a better Internet, together
Cloudflare is proud to work alongside Mozilla to help develop, test, and deploy next-generation Internet standards. This video explores some of the benefits of this fruitful partnership.
The video features:
Eric Rescorla, CTO, Firefox
Selena Deckelmann, Vice President, Firefox Desktop
Nick Sullivan, Head of Research & Cryptography, Cloudflare
Eric Rescorla: The real privilege of working at Mozilla is that we're a mission-driven organization, and what that means is that before we do things, we ask what's good for the user, as opposed to what's going to make the most money.
Nick Sullivan: Mozilla's values are similar to Cloudflare's. They care about enabling the web for everybody in a way that is secure, in a way that is private, and in a way that is trustworthy.
We've been collaborating on improving the protocols that help secure connections between browsers and websites.
Eric Rescorla: Mozilla and Cloudflare have collaborated on a wide range of technologies. The first place we really collaborated was the new TLS 1.3 protocol, and then we followed it up with QUIC and DNS over HTTPS, and most recently the new Firefox Private Network.
Selena Deckelmann: DNS is core to the way that everything on the Internet works. It's a very old protocol, and it's also in plain text, meaning that it's not encrypted. And this is something that a lot of people don't realize. You can be using SSL and connecting securely to websites, but your DNS traffic may still be unencrypted.
Eric Rescorla: When Mozilla was looking for a partner for providing encrypted DNS, Cloudflare was a natural fit.
The idea was that Cloudflare would run the server piece of it, and Mozilla would run the client piece of it. And the consequence would be that we'd protect DNS traffic for anybody who used Firefox.
Selena Deckelmann: Cloudflare was a great partner with this because they were really willing early on to implement the protocol, stand up a Trusted Recursive Resolver and create this experience for users. They were strong supporters of it.
Eric Rescorla: One of the great things about working with Cloudflare is their engineers are crazy fast. So the time between we decide to do something and we write down the barest protocol sketch, and they have it running in their infrastructure is a matter of days to weeks, not a matter of months to years. There's a difference between standing up a service that one person can use or ten people can use, and a service that everybody on the Internet can use.
Nick Sullivan: When we talk about bringing new protocols to the Web, we're talking about bringing it not to millions, not to tens of millions. We're talking about hundreds of millions to billions of people.
Selena Deckelmann: Cloudflare has been an amazing partner in the privacy front. They've been willing to be extremely transparent about the data that they are collecting and why they're using it. And they've also been willing to throw those logs away.
Eric Rescorla: Really users are getting two classes of benefits out of our partnership with Cloudflare. The first is direct benefits, that is: we're offering services to the user that make them more secure and we're offering them via Cloudflare. So that's like an immediate benefit that users are getting. The indirect benefit that users are getting is that we're developing the next generation of security and privacy technology and Cloudflare's helping us do it. And that will ultimately benefit every user — both Firefox users and every user on the Internet.
Nick Sullivan: We're really excited to work with an organization like Mozilla that is aligned with the user's interests and in taking the Internet and moving it in a direction that is more private, more secure, and is aligned with what we think the Internet should be.

Metasepia record and folded poster.
The music is very much based on the Euclidean Pattern Generator: Two of the three tracks on the vinyl 12″ are made solely with my software sequencing his music. This gave Thomas the idea to accompany the release with a printed conversation between Florian an me. A discussion between the musician who uses software to create his music and the software developer who created the application.
It was very interesting to hear how Florian uses the application. There appear to be certain bugs in the software that he found and that he likes to use in an "it's not a a bug, it'a a feature" type of way.
One is that apparently after prolonged use the tempo varies. It can slow down quite a bit. So much that he has had remarks from members of the audience after a performance who clearly noticed. The tempo can also increase again at other times. I don't know why this is, but I suspect it's processor load that causes it.
Another bug is that when you change the settings of a Euclidean rhythm – pulses, length or rotation – while the patterns play, small synchronisation errors appear. This was never my intention of course, but Florian likes these because at times they can introduce a nice extra groove to the combined rhythm as a whole.
Florian and me at the laptop.
A problem for live performance is that interaction is completely mouse-based. This makes changing patterns quickly very difficult. Especially because you first have to select a pattern by mouse click on the pattern wheel graphic, and then drag sliders to adjust settings. This requires precise and concentrated mouse use, which is not ideal while on stage in front of an audience.
The solution would be to have MIDI controller support, so that parameters can be tied to physical knobs or sliders. I think this is very interesting to try out. I will certainly incorporate it in a new version of the Euclidean Pattern Generator.
I came across the first Java version of this some years ago, and thought it was great. I didn't do much with it at the time, but I remembered it recently and wanted to find it to help generate some new ideas. I'm glad to hear that other people are also using it, and that you're still interested in the project.


Webcred is about building trust, so we've spent a great deal of time thinking about exactly how and why people trust one another in the real world. Our goal is to bring that same level of trust to online interactions.
The easiest way to build trust is to get to know someone. Some of the people you trust the most are probably the ones you've spent the most time with. From family to friends and co-workers to classmates, the people who spend the most time with you are often the ones you trust most. The more familiar you are with a person, the better equipped you are to decide if he or she is trustworthy.
Another way we understand trust is through the transitive property--yes, all the way back to algebra--which says that if A=B and B=C, then A=C. Now let's apply that to trust: If person A trusts person B, and person B trusts person C, then person A trusts person C.In simpler terms, a friend of a friend is usually someone you can trust.
A third way to measure trust is through a person's relations to institutions. For example, you may trust a graduate of Harvard Medical School more than a doctor from your local community college, especially if you went to Harvard. You also might trust a lawyer who passed the bar exam in your state more than a neighbor who has read a few law books when you need legal advice. While institutional relations aren't a perfect measure (you can't trust every Harvard graduate), in many cases institutions can signal trustworthiness.
These three ways of measuring trustworthiness help govern our social and business interactions. By appropriating these trust-measuring tools to the online world, we believe we can make online interactions just as safe as real world interactions.

Christopher Loven: Driver accused in two bike-rage incidents before crash that killed cyclist, 73

Dump-truck driver Christopher Loven has not yet been charged with a crime in the death of Eugene Howrey, a 73-year-old bicyclist killed in an accident this past June.
However, Loven was convicted in a 2009 bike-rage case -- and now we're learning he received a citation in a brawl with two bicyclists circa 2003.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, Loven and Jim Mohan were accused of brawling in 2003 -- a fight Mohan says was prompted by Loven using his truck to run him and a companion off the road.
Mohan was able to catch up with the truck driver at an intersection, and his harsh words inspired Loven to climb from the vehicle. At that point, Mohan punched Loven in the head -- a bad idea for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that Loven was much larger than his angry adversary. "I felt like I was fighting for my life," Mohan told the Camera.
In the end, nothing much came of the incident -- but that wasn't the case six years later. According to Bicycle Times Magazine, cyclist Scott Boulbol was in a designated bike lane when Loven passed him with little room to spare on Lee Hill Road. This maneuver sparked a shouting match, after which Loven got back into his truck -- which he used to block the bike lane and force Boulbol into oncoming traffic.
In the end, as we first reported in the piece linked above, Loven pleaded guilty to misdemeanor reckless endangerment. But he was only sentenced to probation and community service, which incensed the folks at the Liberty on Bikes! blog. The author of a Loven-related post wrote, "Road rage should just be an automatic six month suspended license, no questions asked... I love how if you swung a metal bat at someone, it can be aggravated assault and a lengthy jail sentence. But wielding two tons of steel can be pawned off as an 'accident,' or maybe 'negligent operation of a vehicle.'"
Cut to June, when Howrey, a founding member of the Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society who moved to Boulder a few years ago, was pedaling east on Lefthand Canyon Road alongside his wife, Sharon. Loven's truck was headed in the opposite direction, and it hit Howrey's bike as Loven was making a turn. The impact threw Howrey approximately 36 feet. He'd been wearing a helmet, but he was declared dead at the scene.
The Colorado State Patrol continues to investigate Loven in the context of the crash that led to Howrey's death. Look below to see a Daily Camera video from the scene.

He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought --So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack. He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe..

ABHMS-awarded grant funds 'Homeworker Helper' after-school program
VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 6/11/19)—A grant from the Louise Burchard Pierce Memorial Fund, awarded by American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS), helps to ensure that students receive homework help and an evening meal from the "Homeworker Helper" after-school program at First Baptist Church, Trumansburg, N.Y.
Twice weekly during the school year, students are transported by bus from school to the church. They rotate among church volunteers who provide academic support in such subjects as English and mathematics as well as lead such activities as crafts, games and outdoor time.
Begun in fall 2017, the program has served as many as nine students ranging from pre-kindergarten to grade seven. Most live in a nearby trailer park without running water, heat or safe places to play or gather.
After homework and other activities are completed, parents are encouraged to join the children for a meal. Take-out meals are provided for parents who cannot attend.
The grant helps to buy not only food but also craft and school supplies. In addition, church members donate needed items. On Tuesdays, church members volunteer to bring the meal. On Thursdays, a student is selected to plan the menu and help cook.
First Baptist Church started the program to meet the basic needs—food, safety and education—of the community's most vulnerable families. According to City-Data.com, in 2016, 23.7 percent of children were below the poverty level in Trumansburg, while 20.4 percent of children were below the poverty level statewide the same year. According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 21 percent of children were below poverty level nationwide in 2016.
"Through this program, children are more successful in school, and families are able to stretch their food budgets, thereby eliminating some economic stress on the families," says Judith Christiansen, a retired school administrator and director of Homeworker Helper.
She shares the success story of siblings who have participated for the two years that the program has been offered.
"I have seen the children in this family become more thoughtful and more considerate, and behavioral issues have diminished considerably," says Christiansen. "This spring, the fourth-grader proudly showed me his report card. His grades were way up from earlier in the year."
Homeworker Helper "does give the children a safe place to come," she adds. "And we know that—at least on Tuesdays and Thursdays—their homework is done, they are well fed and they are shown the love of Jesus."
Homeworker Helper originated when the church—pastored by the Rev. Dennis Christiansen—participated in an ABHMS training program that focused on local mission.
Grants from the Louise Burchard Pierce Memorial Fund are awarded to qualifying churches in rural New York state.
For more information about the Louise Burchard Pierce Memorial Fund, contact Dave L. Moore Jr., ABHMS director of investments, or the Rev. Cassandra Carkuff Williams, Ed.D., ABHMS director of Discipleship Ministries.
American Baptist Home Mission Societies partners with American Baptists to promote Christian faith, cultivate Christ-centered leaders and disciples, and bring healing and transformation to communities across the United States and Puerto Rico.
American Baptist Churches USA is one of the most diverse Christian denominations today, with approximately 5,000 congregations comprised of 1.3 million members, across the United States and Puerto Rico, all engaged in God's mission around the world.

Historic buildings are common sources of asbestos and lead
On Behalf of William Graham | Jul 20, 2012 | Premises Liability |
Lead and asbestos hazards are commonly found in historic buildings in North Carolina and throughout the United States. Yet another historic building was closed after an assessment of mold, asbestos and lead detected hazardous levels. The Lexington, Kentucky, courthouse was built in 1898 and is located in the heart of the city. The building, which was the Fayette County court for nearly a century, houses the Lexington Public Safety Museum, the Lexington History Museum and the Kentucky Renaissance Pharmacy Museum.
A complaint from a museum volunteer led to the city's decision to assess the building for hazards. Premises liability laws may be applicable, if it discovered that the city of Lexington was aware of the potential for asbestos and lead in the building, or if anyone becomes ill with an asbestos or lead-related disorder that has worked there.
Asbestos and lead were widely used in construction of buildings in the late 1800s and throughout the 1900s until their health hazards were recognized. Over the past century, many historic buildings in the United States have also been renovated, to maintain them and to allow for modern uses. During construction and renovation projects, lead and asbestos often get disturbed. Workers can unknowingly inhale these toxins. It is now common knowledge that asbestos and lead products cause serious and often fatal diseases, such as mesothelioma, lung and gastro-intestinal tract cancers and breathing disorders.
Potentially hundreds of workers were exposed to asbestos and lead in the courthouse and other historic buildings during both day to day operations and renovations over the years.
As mesothelioma can take from 20 to 50 years to develop after exposure, it is often difficult to trace the source of exposure. Premise liability lawyers trace employment history and exposure to toxins, and then determine which laws may apply in each case.

B&Q buys major UK Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Supplier
The day that estate agents and home owners will be able to order their EPCs (Energy Performance Certificates) from their nearest DIY store or supermarket has come closer, following the acquisition of one of the largest EPC suppliers, National Energy Services, by B&Q.
B&Q's owners, the Kingfisher Group who are Europe's biggest DIY retailers, have refused to say how much they paid for National Energy Services, which includes the DEA accreditation body NHER, and also SAVA, the body originally set up by HIP enthusiast and one-time government adviser Christopher LeGrand.
A Kingfisher spokeswoman said: "I can confirm that we have bought NES, and this is part of the group's eco-strategy. I can also say that it will be business as usual at NES."
She would neither confirm nor deny whether the acquisition is part of B&Q's Green Deal strategy, but B&Q, along with Tesco and Marks & Spencer, is one of the firms set to sell insulation and home energy improvements as part of the Government's flagship programme.
The Government chose a B&Q store to launch the Green Deal apprentice scheme, which will spawn a new industry of 'green' home inspectors, who will not necessarily be Domestic Energy Assessors, to visit people's homes and advise on measures such as insulation, solar panels and new boilers.
B&Q plans to have an eco adviser in every store and is already running an eco-trial of homes in south London.
The purchase by Kingfisher of NES is not announced on either website but could worry the 3,031 accredited DEAs registered with NES. There are 685 Home Inspectors who are members of the SAVA certification scheme and qualified to do voluntary Home Condition Surveys.
In order to become qualified Green Deal inspectors, all would need further training.
Neil Kurz, an estate agent who is also a DEA, heading up NRG Experts, said: "It's certainly an interesting move by B&Q / Kingfisher and this acquisition has bought them direct access to probably the largest and most experienced pool of energy assessors in preparation for the Green Deal.
"Although I'm not expecting energy assessors to be issued with B&Q orange branded Minis any time soon, I do think it likely that Green Deal assessors visiting domestic properties will have the double incentive of commission on products and services sold by them at the property, as well as offering the occupiers B&Q discount vouchers."
He went on: "Home Inspectors will fear for the future if SAVA/NHER is now directed to focus on regaining the revenue they lost when the energy assessor training extravaganza dried up 18 months ago.
"SAVA and BRE have jointly helped with the rollout of the Home Condition Survey product, but it's too early for either accreditation scheme to be profitable running the HCS part of their businesses. Home Inspectors will hope this isn't the very final nail in their respective surveying coffin."
NES, which was set up as a charity, describes itself as 'the UK's home for independent energy assessors, home inspectors and low carbon professionals'.
In 2010 Milton Keynes-based NES had a turnover of £5.850m – well down from the £9.447m the year before – and scraped a profit of £40,544 compared with a profit of £315,271 the previous year.
Whilst B&Q is the first to acquire an EPC firm, there is speculation that the likes of Tesco will follow as the Green Deal gets closer.

The report from Vodafone shows the link between digital transformation and business confidence in the UK. 79% of business leaders say digital transformation is a strategic priority and are keen to exploit its full potential. Organisations that prioritise digital transformation are also more confident about future growth. Of those business who see digital as a low-priority, only 17% are very confident about their future growth; for those who see digital transformation as a high-priority, this figure almost triples to 50%.
The Digital, Ready? report also suggests that those businesses that have embraced digital transformation already are starting to reap the rewards. Almost a quarter (24%) of business leaders have been able to reach new customers or user segments; 30% have seen better customer experience; 28% have increased customer satisfaction; and 22% report higher staff motivation.
Vodafone is helping companies of all sizes on their digital transformation journeys. For example, it has worked with South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) on an app to improve efficiency and response times for its 1,200 Community First Responders; with Life's Kitchen to process orders efficiently with Superfast Broadband; and with Admiral Insurance as its digital telematics partner.

Q: OpenSSH host-matching rules not honored in paramiko I read this, says 'with more specific hostmasks taking precedence', but when I tried, the output is not what the documentation says:
>>> from paramiko.config import SSHConfig
>>> ssh_config = SSHConfig()
>>> ssh_config.parse(open('/tmp/ssh_config'))
>>> import pprint
>>> pprint.pprint(ssh_config._config)
[{'config': {}, 'host': ['*']},
 {'config': {'port': '22'}, 'host': ['*']},
 {'config': {'port': '23'}, 'host': ['*.example.com']}]
>>> ssh_config.lookup('ssh.example.com')
{'hostname': 'ssh.example.com', 'port': '22'}

In the example above, the port for ssh.example.com should be 23(the more specific one i.e. *.example.com, not *). Any one to clear out this for me? Thanks.
I read through the code, but found nothing dealing with this kind of precedence.

Jamaat is sincerely trying to resolve people's sufferings despite its limited capacities, says Professor Mujib
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's Nayeb-e-Ameer Professor Mujibur Rahman has said, Jamaat-e-Islami is not an ordinary political party. Along with all the general activities, this party has been working relentlessly to ensure the welfare of the people.
Jamaat-e-Islami is a systematic, democratic, progressive and ideological political party. Jamaat-e-Islami is committed to work for the benefit of the people. As a part of the same ideological perspective, we have come here today to extend our sympathy and empathy to those people, who have lost their everything in recent fire accident in Mirpur Cholontika slum area.
He said this while distributing financial assistance among the victims today. Among others, Dhaka city North unit Jamaat Ameer and party's central executive committee member Muhammad Salim Uddin, central Majlish-e-Shura member and Dhaka city North Jamaat's Assistant Secretary Mahfuzur Rahman, Dhaka north city Jamaat's working committee member Engineer Ghulam Mostofa and Maulana Delwar Hossain, Roopnagar Thana Ameer Nasir Uddin and Secretary Abu Hanif were present on the occasion.
Professor Mujib said, it is responsibility of the government to resolve the crisis of the citizens. But as the welfare state is not established yet, the citizens are being deprived from state's welfare management. It is not possible for a party to act like the state apparatus. Though we have desire to serve people but our capacity is so limited. However, Jamaat-e-Islami has been trying to help and serve people as much it can.
We would be pleased and satisfied if people are benefited from such simple efforts. But actually, there is no alternative but establishing a welfare state to resolve the crises of the people. As such, he urged all to get united to establish that desired welfare state in the light of Islam.

Q: How to enable javascript window.focus() in IE9 I've used:
var win = window.open('http://www.google.co.uk','foo');

to open a new window I've then navigated back to the orginal window leaving the new window open and used:
win.focus();

I expected the browser to switch back to the foo window how ever IE9 ignores it and stays on the current window.  Works in chrome and IE6 I'm assuming this may have been disabled as a security risk. Is there a way to enable window.focus in IE9 via security settings or registry settings?
This is my full code:
Click here to open a window

click here to switch to window

A: It is a known bug in Internet Explorer 9. Check out the article, A web page may fail to get focus in Windows Internet Explorer 9 for more info.
Registry Fix
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\
Type: REG_DWORD
Name: HangRecovery
Value: 0

A: A variation of the following has worked for me on all browsers since 2003:
function popupHelp(helpUrl) {
    helpWin = window.open(helpUrl, "help",
            "height=500,width=500,scrollbars,resizable,toolbar,status,menubar");
    if (helpWin != null) {
        setTimeout("helpWin.focus()",100);
    }
}

...

Help

As of 2013-08-27 it seems to be the feature list on the window.open() call that forces/allows IE 8, 9, and 10 to give the window focus a second time.  I say window because it also forces IE to open in a window, not a tab (Chrome uses a tab, Firefox works like IE).  I wish all browsers worked like Chrome in this regard.  They all seem to open a new window with target="_blank" just fine, cluttering the users desktop with open windows, but reusing an existing window is something they don't want to do.

Imagine, you are one step closer to get into IIT. Just one hurdle to pass in form of examination and then, you are in. Don't get feared of the road to IIT. Mainly you need to avoid silly mistakes. Remain calm and composed. It is the first step to a clear and competitive exam. Be stick to do's and don'ts to perform better in JJE exam.
Sleepless night before an exam increases the chance of committing an error as it makes you get tired and lose focus. To ensure your brain works properly during the exam, get a full night sleep and eat light food before the exam.
JEE examination paper is based on testing your time management skills. In short, question reading, understanding, analyzing and solving, all under three minutes approx. Students mostly ignore the understanding of the question. This results in silly errors as students may miss crucial information or may interpret it incorrectly.
Avoid the habit of marking answers at the last minute. If you feel this is an effective time management technique, set aside the last half hour of your time to mark answers. Through this, you surely will have sufficient time to fill in the sheet carefully, thereby reducing errors while filling.
Solve the entire question while practicing including the calculation part. Some questions might look simple while learning tough concepts but neglecting few figures can cost you during an exam. This increases your speed as well as your computational ability and thereby committing lesser mistakes on the final day.
Don't ignore the questions that are tough while preparations. Ignoring difficult questions is not the right way to tackle. Take out the time to try and solve the question and if there are any doubts regarding that particular topic, clear it right away.
TopMockTest app, an effective method to practice mock tests. Practice previous year's question papers as much as you can.
A lot of students get panic in an exam because of incapability of time management. Practicing mock tests can solve this problem. This can help you assess your time management skill, your weakness, strengths and many other areas by the report you get by these tests after attempting them.
Hope this article gave simple-to-follow ideas that help you perform better in competitive exams. Good Luck !!!
Brief but very precise information. Thank you for sharing this one.

$\int d^3p \nabla_{x - y} e^{ip\cdot (x - y)} = \nabla_{x - y}\bigg[\int d^3p e^{ip\cdot (x - y)}\bigg] = \nabla_{x - y}\bigg[\int d^3p e^{-ip\cdot (y - x)}\bigg] = (2\pi)^3\nabla_{x - y} \delta^{(3)}(y - x) = (2\pi)^3\nabla_{x - y} \delta^{(3)}(x - y)$.
Here I used the fact that $\int d^3p e^{-ip(x - y)} = (2\pi)^3 \delta^{(3)}(x - y)$.
My Motivation: I was planning to use the volume integral of a gradient of $\phi$ is a surface integral of $\phi$ but I noticed that $e^{ip\cdot (x - y)}$ doesn't really have a value at the surface (i.e. spherical shell with radius $p = \infty$). To see this, one can use $e^{ix} = cosx + isin(x)$.
So my question is: Can I pull out the gradient from the integrand and have the gradient act on the entire integral? If not, how do I evaluate this integral?
Note: the gradient of a Dirac delta function is valid in physics.

A: First, the object $\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}\nabla_{\vec x-\vec y}e^{i\vec p\cdot (\vec x-\vec y)}\,d^3p$ is not an integral.  Rather it represents a distribution that is equal to the Fourier Transform of $i\vec p$, written $\mathscr{F}\{i\vec p\}(\vec x-\vec y)$.
Now, it is true that
$$\begin{align}
\mathscr{F}\{i\vec p\}(\vec x-\vec y)&=\nabla_{\vec x-\vec y}\mathscr{F}\{1\}(\vec x-\vec y)\\\\
&=(2\pi)^3 \nabla_{\vec x-\vec y} \delta^3(\vec x-\vec y)\tag1
\end{align}$$
So, if we use the more common and abusive notation of integrals, then we can write $(1)$ as
$$\int_{\mathbb{R^3}}(i\vec p)e^{i\vec p\cdot (\vec x-\vec y)}\,d^3p= \nabla_{\vec x-\vec y}\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{i\vec p\cdot (\vec x-\vec y)}\,d^3p\tag2$$
whence which we conclude from $(2)$ that
$$\int_{\mathbb{R^3}}\nabla_{\vec x-\vec y}e^{i\vec p\cdot (\vec x-\vec y)}\,d^3p= \nabla_{\vec x-\vec y}\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{i\vec p\cdot (\vec x-\vec y)}\,d^3p$$

Harout Chitilian (Armenian: Հարութ Շիթիլեան) (born in 1980 in Beirut, Lebanon) is a former city councillor from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, former chairman of the council, he held the position of vice president of the executive committee of Montreal city until his electoral defeat in November 2017. Originally elected as a member of Union Montreal, Chitilian sat as an independent councillor from December 2012 to August 2013, when he reaffiliated with the new Équipe Denis Coderre.

Biography
Born in Beirut, Lebanon to parents of Lebanese-Armenian origin, he immigrated to Canada when he was nine years old. After studying at AGBU's Ecole Alex-Manoogian in Montreal, he completed his high school studies at a French language school in the west of Montreal while participating in the city of Montreal sports programs in swimming, water polo and basketball. In 2004, he graduated with a degree in engineering, specializing in telecommunication, from the École Polytechnique de Montréal.

After graduation, he worked for four years with the Swedish firm Ericsson, as an international consultant working for various periods in Latin America, Scandinavian countries, Western Europe, United States. From 2007 to 2009, he ran a private consultancy business specializing in the domain of information technology and telecommunication.

In 2009 municipal elections, he was elected municipal councillor in the Montreal borough (arrondissement) of Ahuntsic-Cartierville under the banner of Union Montreal from the electoral district of Bordeaux-Cartierville.

From 2009 until June 2011, he was the president of the municipal council at the City of Montreal, head of the commission of presidency of the city and vice-president of the Consultative Committee of Urbanism in the borough. He was also a member of the executive committee of the Regional Conference of Elected Councilors of Montreal, of the Corporation de Développement économique et communautaire de l'arrondissement Ahuntsic-Cartierville and Administrative Council of the organisation "MR3 Relève".

On June 20, 2011, he was elected chairman of the city council of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, replacing the outgoing chairman Claude Dauphin, and at 30 years was the youngest chairman in the history of the city of Montreal.

In December 2012, he announced he was quitting Union Montreal without joining any other party, but preferring to become an independent councillor.

Following the resignation of Michael Applebaum in June 2013, Chitilian was a candidate in the council vote to succeed Applebaum as interim Mayor of Montreal, but lost narrowly to Laurent Blanchard.

On November 18, 2013, he got appointed vice-president of the executive committee, in charge of administrative reform, Smart City, technology & information.

Chitilian lost his seat in the 2017 municipal general election and has become a director of CDPQ Infra, the subsidiary of Quebec's Caisse de dépôt created to manage construction of Montreal's REM light rail system.

Harout Chitilian is married.

Does Revelation 8:10–11 describe an asteroid?
Is the Wormwood star from Revelation 8 already headed toward Earth? Are NASA and high-level government officials aware of an asteroid that is on a collision course with our planet? Is that why President Trump sanctioned a colossal increase to planetary defense? Do the prophecies from ancient cultures and religions across the globe all point to a catastrophic planetary event that has scientists and politicians taking extreme preventative measures under the public radar?
Earth is not currently prepared for the scope of impact that may be just around the corner, and people in high places know it…
But what will the biblical Wormwood actually be? Traditional scholarly interpretation claims it will be an asteroid. Others postulate that the eschatological poisoning of one-third of all Earth's waters and the devastation of our planet's ecology might not be as detectable as we may believe: it could hit suddenly and without warning, like an angel of God appearing in the sky with fire and light, bringing judgment in an instant.

Pali Senior Conducts Parenting Classes at Cornerstone Church for Girl Scout Gold Award Project
PaliHi Sr. Conducts Parenting Classes at Cornerstone Church in WLA for Girl Scout Gold Award Project
My daughter Natalie Schoemann, who is a Senior at Palisades Charter High School, recently completed her Girl Scout Gold Award Project.
She put together a reading program to support parenting classes at Cornerstone Church in West Los Angeles.
Natalie suffers from dyslexia and reading and writing have been a struggle. As such, she felt it important to help children get a 'jump start' with reading.
Generally, those who attend the parenting classes can't afford babysitting. Natalie designed the program to read to the children during the class.
She marshaled friends and family to donate over 100 books and created tote bags from donated t-shirts so the kids could take books home. Natalie even made sit-upons, so the children would have cushions to sit on during the reading time.
Sustainability is one of the project requirements. To that end, Natalie created a digital sign-up sheet for volunteering so that once she goes to college the program will continue.
Natalie is very proud of the fact that the program is booked with enough students to read at the monthly class for over a year.
