Black Panther: The Album Review
Courtesy of Disney/Marvel Studios
Declan Rourke, Public Relations Representative
On Kendrick Lamar's recent album, Black Panther: The Album, which is featured in the hit Marvel Movie Black Panther, Lamar and the artists he works with create an album focusing on the ongoing struggle for true equality. Many lines have references to Black Power and racial prejudice, creating a powerful statement enforced by all of the contributors on the album. This theme of overcoming racial discrimination is the perfect addition to the movie's powerful message of Wakanda, a fictional African nation that prospers without the aid of foreign countries.The combination of powerful lyrics and unique beats creates a compelling soundtrack and another amazing art piece from Lamar.
Lamar and his fellow artists can be applauded for maintaining these motifs of struggle, perseverance, and Black Power throughout the album. An example of this is in "Paramedic!" in the line: "One fist in the air, I ain't finna put my hands up." These recurring references to Black Power in the album make it the perfect soundtrack for the film Black Panther, which has received high praise from viewers for its strong message of equality.
The album is especially unique when it comes to the mix of hip-hop rhyme and rhythm, with African sounds laced into the background. In "Big Shot," which features Travis Scott, there is a flute melody in the background that sets the song apart from typical bass-filled sounds heard in modern American rap. There are also various songs that use drums and other instruments atypical of current hip-hop. The song "Bloody Waters" incorporates the sounds of elephants, as well as a smooth drum beat at the end. Sounds like these are also heard in the intro of "Kings Dead," which includes roars in the background. This album has a unique exploration of sound which many other artists may not have been comfortable with incorporating. Though this album was created for a fictional movie, it does an amazing job of expressing strong, relevant messages while maintaining a fun and dramatic tone.

Village purse perp in 'drive-by' swipes
A purse-stealing perp — who rides in a car but targets pedestrians — recently struck twice in the Village, police said.
On Sat., Jan. 18, around 9:10 p.m., the suspect exited the front passenger seat of a car and approached a 26-year-old woman at the corner of W. 12th and W. Fourth Sts., according to police. He tried to take the victim's purse but failed, fleeing empty-handed in the vehicle, which drove off east on W. 12th St.
The next day, around 8:15 a.m., the same man allegedly approached a 69-year-old woman at the corner of W. Houston and Mercer Sts. and swiped her handbag, which contained three credit cards, a checkbook and $200 cash. With the purse in his possession, he jumped into a getaway car, which drove off southbound down Mercer St. from W. Houston St.
Police released photographs of the suspect, above.
Anyone with information should call the New York Police Departmetn's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted on the Crime Stoppers Web site at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM and on Twitter @NYPDTips.

Tesla releases Q2 2018 production numbers: 28,578 total Model 3, 5,031 in one week
During the final week of the second quarter, Tesla managed to produce 5,031 Model 3 and 1,913 Model S & X. Tesla's Q2 2018 production totaled 53,339 vehicles, a 55% increase from the first quarter, making it the most productive quarter in the company's history so far. Model 3 production, which reached a total of 28,578 units, also exceeded the combined Model S and X production of 24,761 vehicles during Q2 2018.
Q2 deliveries totaled 40,740 vehicles, of which 18,440 were Model 3, 10,930 were Model S, and 11,370 were Model X. As noted by Tesla, both orders and deliveries for the flagship luxury sedan and SUV were higher in Q2 than a year ago. Tesla also expects its overall target for 100,000 Model S and Model X deliveries in 2018 to be unchanged.

— Tesla (@Tesla) July 2, 2018
Tesla managed to produce almost three times the number of Model 3 in Q2 than it did in Q1 2018. According to the company's vehicle production and deliveries report, the GA3 line within the Fremont factory is expected to have the capability to hit a production rate of 5,000 Model 3 per week on its own. Augmented with GA4, the Model 3's newest assembly line set up in the massive sprung structure on the grounds of the Fremont factory, however, Tesla noted that it was able to hit its production target for the compact electric car faster.
With the 5,000/week mark attained, Tesla is now looking to increase its production capacity for the Model 3 even further. According to the company, it expects to increase its manufacturing rate to 6,000 Model 3 per week by late next month. Tesla also reaffirms its guidance for positive GAAP net income and cash flow in the upcoming third and fourth quarter, regardless of external challenges such as a weakening dollar and higher tariffs for vehicles imported into China.
As of the end of Q2 2018, Tesla had 11,166 Model 3 vehicles and 3,892 Model S and Model X in transit to customers, with deliveries expected to be scheduled sometime early in the third quarter. According to Tesla, the high number of vehicles in transit was primarily due to an increase in production during the end of Q2 2018. Remaining net Model 3 reservations as of the end of Q2 stood at roughly 420,000, despite Tesla having delivered 28,386 Model 3 vehicles to date. Tesla expects more orders for the compact electric car to ramp once more as test drives for the Model 3 start getting offered in galleries in the near future.
Tesla's most recent milestone comes as a huge victory for the electric car maker. Over the past year, Tesla struggled to ramp up the production of the compact electric sedan, with CEO Elon Musk dubbing the endeavor as "production hell." During the second quarter, however, Tesla dug deep in order to overcome its production challenges, with the company resorting to unorthodox solutions, such as air-freighting robots from Europe and setting up a new assembly line in a sprung structure, in order to improve its chances of attaining its Q2 0218 production goals. As noted by the company in its recent report, however, the hardship over the past 12 months has been well worth it.
"The last 12 months were some of the most difficult in Tesla's history, and we are incredibly proud of the whole Tesla team for achieving the 5,000 unit Model 3 production rate. It was not easy, but it was definitely worth it."
Tesla's delivery numbers, particularly its 5,000 Model 3 per week milestone, has been received warmly by the company's investors. As of writing, Tesla stock (NASDAQ:TSLA) is trading up 5.30% at $361.16 per share.

Hello ACCtion heroes! Our new bumper is courtesy of Comic Book Informer! Aren't they swell?
This past weekend, Marty had the opportunity to interview Travis Vengroff (quick note: Travis was on his smart phone. He's a busy guy and has to multitask).
Stick around as Travis and Marty talk about Liberty, his podcast and comic book creative teams, what it takes to get an indie project off the ground, resource economies and cannibalism.

Data centers are playing an important role in the function of a company. They house computers along with telecommunication and storage systems. They form an information network, whose impairment can delay or completely pause the company's operation.
Security plays an important part in a data center system because they often contain sensitive and secret informations, therefore a surveillance system must alert the system administrator in case of unauthorized intrusion, or any malfunction of equipment.
The 19" remote monitoring system from Alfaphonet is a Linux based real-time monitoring and management solution in order to secure flawless operation with high resiliency. The solution is used for IP monitoring and remote managements, or as a video server in premises and suit units in server rooms or telecommunication stations. With the user-friendly interface you can assign and locate sensors on map of certain object e.g office, in order to develop a particular interface, or to link user database with the data received from monitoring system to export data into CSV files. In addition, static and dynamic DNS for monitoring can be utilized. The monitoring system can also be used as a video server (via usb or web-cam) to transfer images and video files onto remote servers. It is possible to connect up to 8 analog, 40 digital, 16 dry contacts and up to 4 relay devices.
In case there is need for additional sensors, the relay sensor unit can extend the Remote Monitoring System for remote premise (up to 1 km from master units) such as additional server rooms, detached buildings or datacenters. The unit enables connections up to 8 analog sensors and up to 4 electric devices.
The proper and uninterrupted power supply is critical to the correct operation of a data center. The power distribution units supply with 250 Vac while the circuit breaker system protects from overvoltages. The power distribution units vary in socket number and socket type. They can be either schuko type or IEC 320 for direct connection of PC units on them.
1. Twist air cooling with hot air removal - Twist Air is an airflow enhancer module, extremely compact, it was developed to be installed on the rear side of server rack enclosure. Twist Air assure a proper airflow through the servers (up to 3000 m3/h) to avoid hot spots. Twist Air action avoid servers malfunctioning and shut down related to high temperature issue.
2. Direct rack cooling (side cooler) - With the advent of blades and high-density server infrastructures, high heat emissions at certain specific points in the racks create hot spots which are impossible to cool down either by any conventional systems or even by some specific applications like cold-aisle solutions etc. To prevent such formations of hot spots, direct rack cooling is the ideal solution.The heat rejection can be handled by an existing chilled water system which eliminates the heat at source and saves a lot of money.
3. In row cooling (in a cold/hot aisle containment) - To serve for cooling and/or enhancing the cooling capacity of an cold aisle containment, In Row Coolers are utilised. The water chilled solution increases the cooling efficiency and can easily cope with thermal loads upto 30 kW. These units are situated in-between the racks and provide proper airflow paths by preventing exhaust air recirculating to IT equipment. The unit captures heat directly from the hot aisle and distributes cool air to the cold aisle. The heat rejection can be handled by an existing chilled water system. The modular solution scalable cooling capacity growth.
KVM switches are space saving and functional solution for a comfortable connection to Pcs, servers or KVM installations in a 1U rack-mounting area by controling up to 256 computers. They have TFT screen with VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA Display mode and 19'' control panel with break-proof non-reflective active matrix 15'' LCD monitor, keyboard, touch-pad and optional built-in KVM or IP KVM switch.


A girl is locked in a room. A boy brings another boy flowers. A girl has tied herself to a railing, A boy doesn't know who he is. A girl worried about impending catastrophe. A woman jumps in front of a train. A boy's heart falls out his chest. A butterfly has broken wings. Chaos is a symphony of dislocated and interconnected scenes. A series of characters search for meaning in a complicated and unstable world. Bouncing through physics, the cosmos, love and violence, they find order in the disorder of each other.
We're interested in chaos. We think most of the time we try to impose order on our lives - we're scared of the mess of being alive; we want to contain it, to put our hands around it. Berzerk wanted to perform something that embraced chaos, that celebrated it in all its strange, unpredictable energy and in all its trouble and beauty. We don't want it to always make sense, but we do want it to feel very alive - all the ways we all remember feeling as a teenager. This play is strictly non-linear and non-naturalistic.


Carbonated water eases the symptoms of some forms of stomach complications as well as constipation. I learned this the hard way; unfortunately, this is usually how I learn all my lessons.
The main symptom of stomach problems that I have is feeling bloated from fullness in the upper abdominal region after overeating; admittedly, overeating is something I do a lot. Suffering was my normal experience; then I went to work for a man who took water and baking soda whenever he had these symptoms. One day, I was really miserable, so I tried his remedy; after a short while, I felt dramatically better.
Naturally, I did some research to learn why this works so well. This was long before antacid medications were sold over the counter (OTC) and also long before people could run to the doctor with every little ache, or pain, or stomach problem. Basically, adding baking soda with water produces carbon dioxide gas with bubbles; somehow the bubbles and the ingredients form a solution that aids the movement of the digestive tract, relieving some of the misery from overeating – that bloated feeling goes away.
This adding baking soda and water actually forms carbonated water which has been used for years to treat digestive complaints, yet no research exists if it is effective or how it works. I did find some information about studies showing that both the bubbles of carbon dioxide and the presence of high minerals can aid the digestive process. This, essentially , is what I was making with baking soda and water. I discovered no information on whether the mineral-rich carbonated water or the bubbles are more effective.
I discovered some suggestions for preventing these problems before they develop, such as: reduce eating a lot of fat; avoiding foods that cause your stomach problems; eating smaller meals; and if you smoke, stopping as soon as possible. Everyone should drink a healthy amount of fluids to maintain movement of the Gastrointestinal tract and counter constipation.
I read about some devices to make homemade carbonated water, which you can use for drinking. Add a number of flavors to create options to regular soda pop; this is especially great if you want to avoid the calories. If you make this homemade drink with water rich in minerals, you have made a very healthy and low calorie drink called sparkling water which is good for your whole family. A large assortment of calorie free flavors to flavor sparkling water to great taste is sold at allfreight.com.
But, the information that I do know from personal experience is that when you have overeaten and are absolutely miserable and are at work for the rest of the day, carbonated water does help.

[Premiere] Exitpost shares dreamy visual for "Two Dreamers"
Exitpost is the moniker of New York City based producer Ken Herman. The project started in Tokyo at his grandmother's house, where he began amassing samples from his family's record collection. After the release of his "Sweet Fade" mixtape in 2014, and 2016 "Nami" EP, Exitpost started garnering attention from the fashion world, including Betsey Johnson and NYFW. Today he announces his debut full-length record and shares the title track, "Two Dreamers."
As the title suggests, "Two Dreamers" is a song filled with lush synth work that embraces you like a warm hug. Featured artist Unmo's delicate vocal delivery in both Japanese and English lyrics blends with walls of synth sound, intricate string arrangements and meticulous electronic programming. The music video, directed by Melbourne-based Australian animator Lee Arkapaw, animates many of the images of Exitpost's dreams and childhoods in Tokyo, beautifully and carefully hand drawn.

Looking for relaxing gifts for stressed Moms? Check out these fabulous pampering gift ideas that are sure to soothe her frazzled nerves!
Show me a woman today who isn't stressed out about something, and I'll set her up with a book deal – obviously, she has some deep secret that she needs to teach the rest of us! Mother's Day is the perfect time to give your favorite woman a gift that will pamper and help her relax.
Mom would probably love for you to redo her bathroom with a state-of-the art luxury jacuzzi tub, but that's probably not in your budget. (And actually, all the construction would probably cause Mom even more stress).
So you should probably go with something a little less construction-intensive, such as an inflatable spa bath tub (yes, there's really such a thing), or another accessory, such as this bath caddy pictured.
What's more relaxing than settling down with a nice glass (or two) of wine after a hard day at work?
I'm sure Mom would appreciate a bottle or two of her favorite wine for Mother's Day. Or you could splurge on a gourmet wine gift basket that includes scrumptious snacks as well (check out the amazing wine gift baskets at GiftTree).
A funny wine glass is another great option that Mom is sure to enjoy - Amazon has a wonderful selection!
It's not always convenient or affordable for a woman to go to a masseuse whenever she wants to relax with a massage. She can soothe tired muscles any time she wants with an at-home massager, kindly given to her by her loving child.
Otherwise, for less expensive gifts for stressed moms, pick a portable massager like the one pictured here or a massager that focuses on her specific area of discomfort.
Mom probably lost a lot of sleep during your teenage years, worrying about late nights, broken curfews, and your grades. Hopefully, you're not still the source of her lack of sleep – if you are, stop whatever it is that you're doing…that would be the best Mother's Day gift ever!
But it's the rare woman who can't use a little more sleep. A sound relaxation machine like the one here plays soothing noises that will help Mom relax, as well as block out annoying little sounds that might keep her awake.
Who knows? Maybe after a great night's sleep Mom will be inspired to make your favorite breakfast!
Who doesn't love getting gift baskets – it's like suddenly finding a treasure of goodies on your front step!
Pamper the harried woman with a selection of spa-themed goodies that she can use at her leisure.
And they're especially great if you're looking for last-minute gifts for stressed moms – they can usually be delivered the next day!
There's just something so soothing and relaxing about sitting down with a cup of tea. And many herbal teas have been found to help calm you down.
Consider giving a flowering tea set like the one pictured above. The tea balls slowly blossom into a bouquet of flowers.
There are so many cute styles at Amazon - you're sure to find one that's perfect!
Aromatherapy has been around for centuries, yet it's suddenly become very trendy these days.
Aromatherapy is a very effective way of using scents to relieve stress. If your Mom is under pressure, get her a set of essential oils to use in a warm bath. The warm water allows the oils to soak into her skin.
You could also consider getting her candles such as the one pictured here or an aromatherapy diffuser which will release fragrance into the air to reduce stress.
Coloring books for adults are a big thing lately. The repetitive motion of coloring is supposed to calm you down and help you relax.
This funny coloring book pictured above is an affordable and fun gift of relaxation for Mom.
Any woman will love unwinding with a good book on those hot summer days in a super-comfy, padded hammock.

Ian Brown – The Greatest
(Polydor) UK release date: 19 September 2005
by Tim Lee
published: 19 Sep 2005 in Album Reviews
Confidence can get you a long way. Sometime it can get you all the way. Indeed, some cruel wags might say it's what's got Ian Brown this far – bluster, bravado and not much else. But hey, if it's good enough for Liam Gallagher and Tom Kasabian to steal wholesale, there must be something in it? Right? Right?
Well, yes, there's something in it, but not everything. Brown is far more than just the sum of his swagger, he's a risk taker and a genuinely unique songwriter – something which The Greatest illustrates admirably. While the tendency is to be a bit sniffy about retrospective collections, and no doubt there can be that faint whiff of creative bankruptcy about them, a final attempt to milk the last drops from the cash-cow of fame before it's carted off to the abattoir of obscurity, it's not the pervasive smell here.
Nope, this isn't a wake, it's a party, a party which serves two purposes: firstly, a celebration of a career that's doing very well thank you, and secondly, and this is important now, as a notice to Stop. Asking. About. Reuniting. The. Fucking. Stone. Roses. Please.
Because one thing you can say about Brown is he seems unwilling to retread ground already covered. Unfinished Monkey Business begat Golden Gaze begat Music Of The Spheres begat Solarized, and on each occasion the evolution produced something that was better than what had preceded it. But that's not to belittle any of them, The Greatest's even(ish) spread from all four solo albums demonstrates all had undeniable high points, it's just Brown's restless musical experimentation, one of the things which helps to make him of such interest, occasionally produced results which weren't as appealing.
Here we just get the moments when it all clicks into place: My Star's fleeting glimpse of a world where a third Roses album of lo-fi, spaced-out, swirling psychedelia exists; F.E.A.R's string beds and ceaseless chanted mantra, a hymn from the funkiest religion in the world, and the collaborations with UNKLE showing that what you really need to enliven your bleak, apocalyptic trip-hop is muttered whispers from an Adidas clad shamen.
And we've not even mentioned the mariachi trumpet parps (Time Is My Everything), densely dubby driving melodies (Golden Gaze) and commentary on modern evolutionary theory (Dolphins Were Monkeys). That, people, is what we call range; it's difficult to think of another quite like Ian Brown, with such a desire to try new things; happier to experiment and push the boundaries than take the easy way out.
He wanted to be adored and once more, he is. It's taken a while, mind you, but his re-ascendence to idol status couldn't have been timed better. He's been a very naughty boy, and now he's back to being the messiah. And my, doesn't it suit.

So you could potentially just been and filled out on a brand new set of pub plates which match lovely with your new dining room decorating scheme. Whether you have chosen bargain basement products or a top of the range dinner provider, I am sure that you want to look after your new dinner plates as well as likely. If you damage and make your money back one item from a collection of dinner plates it can be a major problem trying to replace it with anything similar without having to buy a complete new set. Here are the answers to some common problems about how to best maintain dinnerware. Is it damaging towards the dinner plates if I push them in the microwave? To answer this kind of question you need to check the dessert plates that you own themselves. Many will have a mark at the plates themselves if they are 'microwaveable' or 'microwave-friendly'. If there is simply no mark on the plates then you should check the box the dinner plates came in. The reason I say this is that while it's not damaging to dinner plates that have been specially treated, there are several sets which have characteristics making them entirely unsuitable. For example any plates which have metallic paintwork or leading will cause initiates in the microwave. Also with window dinner plates there is a danger that they will smash if they may have not been specially tempered for the heat.

Concept 9 Residence Târgu Mureș. News and behind-the-scenes details. – News from Mures, Targu Mures News
scorpy0n July 26, 2022 6 min read
Concept 9 is a large-scale real estate project that redefines the standards of comfort, design and functionality in terms of living in a residential complex. Mircea Musgociu, craftsman of the project, chose to present the stage of the investment, through three key characters: the manager of the Concept 9 project, the architect and its designer.
The project stage, with Petrea Ioan Marcel – project manager
At what stage are you with the execution of the Concept 9 Residence project?
The execution of the project is in the chart as follows: Block A: structure completed up to floor 9, masonry up to level 7, facilities level 3 Block B: structure completed up to floor 8, masonry up to level 5, facilities level 2 Block C: structure completed up to floor 8, masonry up to level 5, plumbing level 2.
Together with the team that I coordinate, we follow, depending on the specifics of each specialty and according to the execution schedules, day by day, the evolution of the works. Even if we have days when a number of 9 commercial companies, with over 200 employees, operate on the Concept 9 Residence construction site, I believe that we manage to coordinate their activity very well.
Our combined experience means more than 30 years in the field of construction, experience that is also reflected in the way we manage this site.
Our activity is not only of a technical nature, of checking the way in which the authorized works are executed, but also one of coordinating the executors, so that there are no blockages or errors in the execution. We are a link between the team of architects, construction companies and the sales team, but also responsible in the relationship with the authorities that have competence in the field of construction.
How are you with the supply of building materials?
The war in Ukraine, but also the current situation, have led to the increase in energy and fuel prices, with knock-on effects in terms of the price of construction materials, generating delays and blockages in terms of supply. From the date we started the works, together with the beneficiary we also established the material supply plan, so that the works are carried out according to the schedule. Additionally, from the first signals regarding the blockages, together with Mr. Musgociu we took care of providing the necessary construction materials in advance.
What is the timetable for future stages?
The works are carried out according to the execution schedules for each individual building. At the moment the works are on schedule, but I must state that in the field of construction we also depend on the weather. The experience so far has shown us that in recent years the winters have been milder, so at this moment we do not expect any delays in the delivery of the Concept 9 Residence apartments, forecasted for next year. Here I would also state that the quality of construction works is very important to us, so you can be sure that we will not speed up certain stages of the construction at the expense of quality
Cristian Hanusz – the architect of the project
What does Concept 9 Residence bring?
For us the main challenge of the project was the fact that we had the opportunity to furnish the first part of what is to be a new residential district. It was a unique opportunity to design, in such an important, visible and attractive area, and yet so untouched, a land almost completely free of construction, in the middle of nature, close to important objectives in the city. A novelty is a new standard of living, so that the buildings designed by us offer a large number of apartments with generous terraces, two-level apartments with an internal staircase, not just penthouses on the top floor, as in most projects. The morphology of the buildings also results from this, with the second half of the volume cut in a kind of diagonal, offering 10-11 apartments with exposure and a special panorama.
What challenges did you encounter in making the project?
I think the biggest concern, which we all had, is related to the comfort of the users of these buildings, corroborated by the desire to have an attractive building from the outside as well. Here things are made up of small interventions that work synergistically. To exemplify, I could mention the loggias, which offer the privacy of an interior space, being, at the same time, super open to the landscape, having the glass balustrade parapet, the entire panorama opens up and offers maximum natural light to the interior spaces.
To what extent do you manage to harmonize the architectural concept with the capabilities of the executing companies? We are bringing new things, or at least new to the domestic market, and this involves considerable effort from everyone involved. We are very satisfied with the team chosen by the beneficiary, here I mean both the design teams in various disciplines, as well as all those involved in the construction site, both on the management and quality control side, as well as the execution teams. During the design there was an intense participation, both of the people supervising the execution and of the beneficiary. We all wanted to have a solid project, its execution to be prepared in time, and the resulting building to be comfortable, easy to manage and maintain for the user.
I fondly remember long meetings, sometimes late into the night, where we discussed all our ideas together with the project manager, designer and beneficiary and discussed how we could implement them and what impact they would have on the project. I believe that this kind of dedication has made many of these proposals translate into the project and now being implemented on site.
The designer of the Concept 9 project, Mihai Chiriac
"If we were to understand design according to an explanatory definition, then the attributes of functionality, technique, ergonomics and aesthetics would overlap perfectly with the realization of Concept 9. But, from this explanatory definition, the excitement of the first ideas, the beauty of creating a residential complex that it contains the innovation, imagination and creativity of a welded team, which includes people with different specialties, I would say, and not "specialists". When we talk about the design attributed to this residential complex, we must refer to the multitude of aspects that outline the project as a special one, such as the external appearance, given by the architecture itself, but also by the finishing materials, among which I would note the color and the texture of the decorative plasters, also the color of the carpentry, the shape and color of the entrance doors to the apartments, the finish of the elevators. It was not only the comfort of the beneficiary, obtained through the purchased apartment, but also that given by the surrounding environment, quantified by the very positioning of the complex, on a promontory, between a shopping center and the forest, the park of two thousand square meters, the reception of the blocks with a six meters high, achieved by giving up many square meters that could have been used commercially, the staircase of impressive dimensions for a residential block, the spacious halls, the loggias with glass balustrades and many, many other details that we have bent with great care, because each of us knows from our own experience that a good idea poorly put into practice loses its value.
Regarding the apartments, the attention to ergonomics was a special one, because I always say that the designer is, after all, a director who, through architecture and design techniques, stages the life of each of the beneficiaries.
Making up an appropriate mix of apartments, starting from extremely generous studios, two and three-room apartments, but also penthouses with extremely generous terraces, benefiting from spectacular views, are part of this type of concept.
It is also worth noting the interior height, of a "house" and not of a block, storage spaces, air conditioning and room thermostats as standard equipment, video intercom connected to a smartphone, etc.
Nothing could have been achieved, as far as I'm concerned, without the beautiful friendship and synergy I had with Mircea Musgociu, with whom I shared countless ideas, which led to the permanent shaping of the project. All this makes the Concept 9 project one of the top projects of Târgu Mureșului, of which we hope both tenants and those who will look at it from the outside will be proud."

Mannings Heath is a village in the civil parish of Nuthurst and the Horsham District of West Sussex, England. The village is on the A281 road,  south-east from the town of Horsham. Mannings Heath is the largest settlement in Nuthurst, and largely a dormitory for Horsham.

Mannings Heath has an Anglican church dedicated to The Good Shepherd, built in 1881, a village hall, a village green incorporating Nuthurst Cricket Club's cricket ground, a riding school, and a golf course – Mannings Heath Golf Club, which is in both Nuthurst and the neighbouring parish of Lower Beeding.

The village, previously a hamlet set around two roads, with 20 houses in 1794 and 40 in 1841, experienced a period of council and private house expansion and infill after 1945. A History of the County of Sussex commented in 1987 that roads and houses had been "built with a variety of design that largely preserved the original character of the hamlet". The West Sussex Gazette reported that 350-400 houses had been built by 1979. Two buildings, possibly 17th century, and a small number dating to 18th century remain. The village pub, the Dun Horse Inn, closed several years ago.

Notable people
Notable former inhabitants have included Norman Tebbit, Baron Tebbit of Chingford (a Cabinet minister in the Thatcher government), and the late television and film actor Peter Vaughan with his actress wife, Lilias Walker.

Q: OpenCart - Cannot pass data between MVC I'm trying to pass some data from database though product controller and finally on product view.
The problem is that i tried many different situations but nothing worked.
In a few words, i want to retrieve the customer's zone id from oc_address table into product page on variable $zone.
catalog\model\catalog\product.php (Model)
public function getZoneFromCustomer()
{
 $zone = array();
 $this->db->query("SELECT zone_id FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "address WHERE address_id = '". (int)$this->customer->getAddressId() ."'");

foreach ($query->rows as $result) {
        $zone = $result['zone_id'];
}

return $zone;
}

catalog\controller\product\product.php (Controller)
$data['zone'] = $this->model_catalog_product->getZoneFromCustomer();

catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\product.tpl (View)
if(isset($zone))
{
   echo $zone;
}

OpenCart Version: 2.0.3.1
Notice: Undefined variable: zone in ...

A: I found a solution. Opencart keeps a copy of modified files into a folder named "modification" into system folder and overrides the default code. If you delete those files from there then reverts to normal.

Industry consumes 27% of the retail electrical energy produced in the U.S., and fans and pumps account for 40% of that 27% -- with fans being the majority of the 40%.(Ref 1, 2) Yet, when was the last time your company conducted an air audit to see how much air you move each day and the power used to move that air? Most plants move more pounds of air than produced product, and significant energy is used in moving that air. Since energy is money, if we can save energy used for moving air, we can save money and drive down the cost of the product produced.
no moisture, at sea level elevation, and at a temp of 70 degrees F.
At standard conditions, air weighs 0.075 lbs. per cubic foot. A typical dust exhaust system with a 30-inch diameter inlet duct to a fan handles about 17,000 cubic foot of air per minute (CFM). Or, expressed in terms of weight, the fan handles over 335,000 tons of air each year based on 24-hour-per-day operation. Many facilities have multiple systems like this.
How much money do we spend moving air in a plant? Energy is money so implementing changes that save energy is like putting money in the bank. This paper will concentrate on the cost to move the air through the system – basically, the cost to run the fan, rather than the cost to heat, cool or humidify the air in the workspace.
For purposes of this paper, air will be assumed to be at standard conditions so the df = 1.
Typical fan efficiencies are 60 to 68% for radial bladed fans and 70 to 80% for backward inclined fan designs. The type of fan used in an industrial ventilation system should be dictated by its use and performance requirements. Radial bladed fan designs are typically used in dirty air streams, and backward inclined fan designs are used in relatively clean air streams, like on the clean side of a dust collector. Unfortunately, many older fans are inefficient radial bladed designs. They can boast rugged performance characteristics, but they were installed with little to no consideration for their energy use, because energy was cheap at that time they were first purchased.
Energy is costs are based on kilowatts (kW) not Bhp; thus, the Bhp needs to be converted to kW. To convert Bhp to kW, simply multiply Bhp by 0.746. But to get the total energy into the motor, this shaft energy needs to be divided by the motor efficiency, Nm.
Motor efficiency depends on motor design but is usually about 90 percent [0.9]. There are often additional electrical losses in the starters and transmission losses in the lines between the electrical meter and motor. These losses are small and, for purposes of looking at relative savings, are insignificant enough to be lumped into the motor efficiency of 90%. Now, multiply the adjusted kW by the hours of operation and the cost of electricity per kW hour.
Yes, the 6356 and 0.746 can be combined into a single constant, but then the logic string is broken. This answers the question: What constitutes air energy cost?
What Parts of the Energy Cost Formula Can We Control?
Of all the items in this formula, the only two that can be influenced by designers and operators of industrial ventilation systems are airflow and pressure drop.
How Do We Control These Variables?
If the objective is to minimize energy, then the total airflow in the system should be minimized and the design should reduce pressure drop (or resistance to flow) as much as possible for as long as possible.
One way to minimize air volume and reduce pressure losses in a filtration system is to use good design practices from the start. Design is too broad and extensive a subject to be fully covered in this paper, but there are many good resources for design practices such as the Industrial Ventilation Conferences (http//www.michiganivc.org) and others. These conferences provide training on how to design exhaust systems that work with the least amount of total air volume, with minimum system static loss/resistance, and maximized fan performance.
Many plants have installations similar to the one illustrated in Figure 1.
On external appearance, this is a very nice installation; but there is a problem with the elbow on the fan inlet. For a fan to perform at peak efficiency, it needs three to four diameters of straight duct on the inlet between the last elbow and the actual fan inlet. (Ref 4) Without that straight run of duct, the air doesn't uniformly fill the fan inlet, and the fan performs at less than published rate and does not deliver design airflow. In fact, the location of the elbow at the inlet is equivalent to 0.9-inch wg pressure loss in the system.
Assuming a 17,000 cfm system operating 24 hours per day with an 80% efficient fan at $0.09 per kW hour, the installation consumes an unnecessary $1,960 per year in energy. That cost is incurred every year this system is in operation. If equipment layout and the cost of moving the fan a length equivalent to 4 diameters from the elbow may not be practical, unbolting the elbow and replacing it with an identical elbow with three turning vanes inside could reduce that annual penalty to as little as $435 – saving about $1,525 – and the system will provide increased airflow with no additional energy costs.
Good design is important. Less than good design costs extra as long as the system is in operation.
Conventional dust control systems consist of hoods, ducting, a dust collector with a hopper, a dust disposal device, and a fan.
The change in flow is directly proportional to the change in speed. If a 20% increase in flow is desired, the fan speed must be increased by 20%.
A 20% increase in fan speed results in a 40% increase in Static Pressure (SP). This is because a 20% increase in airflow through a fixed duct system results in a 40% increase in system resistance.
The power requirement, and thus the energy requirement, is a cube function of the change in fan speed so that 20% increase in flow (and therefore speed) increases the power requirement roughly 73% – a lot of money for just 20% more flow.
Short of ripping out the entire system and replacing it at major cost, what is a plant engineer to do?
Consider taking one or more of the pickup points off the central duct system and fitting them with individual dedicated dust collectors. The air will redistribute itself through the remaining pickups, increasing flow through the remaining hoods. This new dedicated collector will be a smaller version of the free-standing central collector with a smaller fan and dust discharge device. If the application permits, the dedicated collector may be small enough to integrate into the hood enclosure as shown in Figures 3 and 4, eliminating the duct and reducing static losses even further.
These small dedicated or integral dust collectors are just as reliable as the larger central baghouses and require far less energy. In Figure 3, a dedicated collector located near the dust source would only require about 20% more energy compared to 74% required for a collector with increased fan speed. The integral version of a dedicated collector has the added advantage of requiring no duct, no dust discharge device, and even lower power costs since all duct losses are eliminated.
At dust generation points where the exhaust equipment is not always in use. Then, the dedicated collector can be shut off when the production equipment being exhausted is not in use and producing dust. (Nothing saves energy like a properly pushed OFF button).
Recall that energy savings result from minimizing airflow and reducing pressure drop while still satisfying the application requirements. One way to reduce pressure drop is to upgrade filter media in fabric and cartridge type dust collectors to newer performance media. Performance media falls into four general categories.
4. Innovative filter media configuration technology.
Surface treatments can enhance performance in many ways: increased efficiency, decreased filter pressure drop, increased resistance to moisture and chemistry, better dust cake release, and reduced bridging to name a few.
Plain standard filter bags have a plain felt finish with a natural softness attributed to the open fibers. These fibers aid in the capture of fine particulate and hold the dust cake. A particular problem for dust like protein, starch, and hydrated lime is that these types of dust agglomerate easily and form a hard dust cake in the presence of high humidity.
Singed finish is provided by melting the surface fibers with a gas flame to reduce the tendency of dust particles to stick to the surface. A singed finish usually provides better dust cake release and thus a lower pressure drop.
Glazed finish, also known as an eggshell finish, is the melting and smearing of a microscopic layer of the media fibers to form a slick surface for better dust cake release. This provides improvement for dust cake release and results in lower operating pressure drop for some very tenacious dusts.
Silicone treatments aid the initial buildup of the dust cake and reduce moisture absorption into the fiber, allowing better release of moisture-sensitive dust and lower operating pressure drop.
Oleophobic, hydrophobic and universal chemical finish are all terms describing felt that has been immersed in a fluorocarbon bath, squeezed and then heat set into the felt. The fluorocarbon reduces the absorption of moisture and acids into the fibers and provides a slick surface for dust cake release. It can increase fiber resistance to hydrolysis from moisture and heat and increases resistance to acid breakdown.
Expanded PTFE, a membrane, can be thermo bonded to the surface of conventional needled felts or woven fabrics. This membrane provides high efficiencies, superior dust cake release and improved airflow all at a cost.
Other surface treatments such as acrylic foam are available and have been developed to fit unique requirements of specific industries and applications.
Pleated bags: The need to put more and more media into a baghouse to provide increased airflow, plus the desire to enhance the efficiency performance of existing conventional round tube collectors, spawned the invention of the pleated bag filter. Putting pleated bag filters in an existing dust collector can also reduce pressure drop and thus result in energy savings. The pleated bag filter can be oval or round in shape like a conventional 6 or 6.25-inch diameter bag except the media is pleated to provide more total filtering surface area per linear foot of filter length.
Pleated bag filters can often double or even triple the total filter surface area of an existing dust collector. This does not mean the collector airflow capacity can be tripled. Pleated bags normally operate at much lower filtration velocities than the fabric bags they replace. How much lower the filtration velocity will be depends on dust characteristics and collector housing design. Retrofitting existing baghouse collectors with pleated bags does offer a potentially cost effective way to lower the pressure drop in the collector since more filter area means a reduced airflow resistance. Pleated bag filters are available in a broad range of media. Spunbond media with a surface treatment of high efficiency nanofibers is common. The nanofiber technology keeps dust on the surface of the pleated media where it is easily pulsed off during the collector cleaning cycle. The results are lower pressure drop and lower emissions than conventional uncoated spunbond media. This media is currently available for both pleated oval or round bags and conventional cartridge filters.
Advanced technology media: These include graduated denier, composite, hydroentangled, and electrospinning nanofiber media. Most of this media technology did not exist 10 years ago and they were often introduced long after existing dust collectors were purchased, installed and filter media specified. Upgrading collectors by installing higher performance media at a scheduled filter change can significantly decrease the operating pressure drop, increase the efficiency and increase the filter life.
Graduated denier media are constructed with a layer of larger diameter fibers on the clean air side and a layer of finer fibers on the dirty air side. This improves surface filtration while allowing for a lower pressure drop and better pulse cleaning than a felt of all fine fiber.
Composite media is constructed of two different fiber types to take advantage of the inherent characteristics of each. One of the more common composites is a thin layer of P84® fibers on the surface of a less expensive felt like polyester. P84® has excellent efficiency, dust cake release, and higher heat-withstanding characteristics (read that as lower pressure drop) but is expensive. Polyester is an inexpensive yet rugged fiber. A fabric of all P84® could be cost prohibitive when purchased for only reduced pressure loss – but combining it with a base of polyester can provide a cost effective answer for some troublesome pressure loss problems and heat problems.
Hydroentangled felt media is the process for making felt and uses computer-controlled, high pressure water jets instead of needles in the manufacturing process. Typical manufacturing processes for filter media incorporate a needling process that pulls, weaves and entangles the fibers together to form a thick felt. The drawback to this mechanical needling process is the inconsistency of fiber pore spacing and size. This inconsistency affects filtration efficiency and pressure loss by allowing dust to migrate through the pore structure and allowing dust particles to become depth loaded (or lodged within the depth of the felt) blocking airflow and causing excess pressure loss across the filters. Hydroentangled felt is much more uniform in pore size, resulting in smaller pores. This means a reduction in depth loading and a decrease in pressure drop.
Electrospinning is the process used to produce nanofiber media, which is a very fine, continuous, resilient layer measuring 0.2-0.3 micron in thickness. Nanofiber media forms a permanent web on the media surface, trapping dust on the surface of the media thereby making the media more efficient at filtering sub-micron particles, providing longer filter life by increasing pulse cleaning efficiency, and ensuring lower pressure drop over an extended operational period.
Lowers pressure losses – allowing higher airflows, increased filter life, and lower emissions.
The newest filter design technology combines the advantages of nanofiber technology with the first of its kind media configuration. It utilizes fluted channels as compared to conventional pleated cartridge filter media or bag filters. This design greatly enhances filter cleaning efficiency, and better pulse cleaning lowers operational pressure drop thus increasing energy savings.
Just fitting the dust collector with performance filter media will not immediately result in energy savings. Why not? Because the lower pressure drop provided by the media results in a lower pressure at the inlet of the fan, and unless you adjust the fan's performance, the fan will just move more air and use more horsepower (not less). To realize the energy savings potential in the performance media, the fan speed must be reduced such that airflow is maintained at the original design flow.
Figure 7 is a fan performance curve showing the Static Pressure (SP) curve and the brake horsepower (bhp) curve. Imposed over these performance curves is a system curve, which represents the resistance of all components in the collection system (hoods, ducting, collector, etc.) less the eventual increased pressure drop across the filter media.
Figure 7 - The difference between the fan SP curve and the system curve is the pressure available for resistance across the filter bags (∆P).
If the design airflow is Q1 with a design ∆P1 and high-performance filter bags are installed that operate at a reduced pressure drop ∆P2, the static pressure at the fan inlet is reduced to SP1, resulting in an increased flow Q2 and an increase in horsepower bhp2 in Figure 8. A mechanical change in the fan system is required to return the flow to the design flow Q1.
Figure 8 - How high-performance filter bags can affect system performance.
One way to reduce the airflow to the original Q2 value, is to simply close a damper to replace the static resistance as illustrated in Figure 9. That reduces the airflow to the original level, but it also returns the bhp to the original level. In effect, the damper is creating a new system curve as shown in Figure 10. This does not accomplish the objective of reducing energy.
Figure 10 - Damper creates new system curve.
To realize the potential energy savings, the bhp requirement must be reduced, and this requires a change in rotational fan speed. The two ways of changing fan speed are variable speed motor drives and simple belt and sheave changes.
Figure 11 - The effect of a variable frequency drive (VFD) on the fan.
If the system has not been measured, a fan curve is not available, or the system flow is variable, the most efficient solution is likely a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). A VFD can provide an infinite number of fan SP curves and corresponding bhp curves as shown in Figure 11. By simply dialing in the speed that gives desired flow, you can reap the benefits of the changes in brake horsepower.
Remembering the third Fan Law: For a fixed system, the bhp decreases as the cube of the change in speed.
The downside is VFDs are more costly to purchase than a simple belt and sheave change. For a 40hp system, a free standing VFD may cost between $5000 and $5500 and require two electricians a half day to install – an amount that can still achieve satisfactory payback in many situations.
For a fixed system without requirements for variation in airflow, a simple belt and sheave change on the fan drive is all that is required. The change in speed returns the flow to the original Q1 value and reduces the power requirement from bhp1 to bhp2as shown in Figure 12. The fixed speed change provides 100% energy recovery and is inexpensive. For the example system with a 40hp motor, the cost is about $300 and will require two maintenance men about half day to install.
A large grain handling and oil seed processing facility in southern USA had 35 baghouse collectors with fabric filters in the facility. Under pressure to reduce energy cost, and after much research into performance filter media, a decision was made to fit one collector with hydroentangled filter media. The intention was that the new media could reduce the pressure loss across the collector by 2"wg, and the resulting energy savings with all 35 collectors fitted with this media would be significant.
Figure 13 shows the data for the analysis. The airflow was set at 12,900 cfm. The needle felt pressure drop was 5-inches wg and the hydroentangled fiter bags stabilized at 3-inches wg. The fan was a radial blade fan with an efficiency of 63%. An electric transmission/motor efficiency of 90% was used. The facility operates 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 51 weeks each year. Their electrical cost was $0.09 per kW hour.
In addition to stabilizing at lower pressure drop, the hydroentangled filter elements also had twice the filter life. When the plant manager calculated everything (labor savings from fewer filter changeouts, the incremental cost of the drive change and the increased cost of the filter bags) the payback time was 3.8 months.
By simply purchasing and installing the hydroentangled bag filters and re-sheaving for a lower speed, the facility determined they could potentially save over $77,000 a year if all 35 dust collectors were retrofitted.
Air has weight, and considerable energy is used in moving air within industrial ventilation systems. In order to minimize the energy cost and thus reduce the cost of the product, good engineering judgment must be exercised when designing new systems and alternative systems must be considered. For existing systems, look at alternative products like bags with enhanced filter finishes, advanced performance media, and/or innovative filter media configuration with the goal of reducing pressure loss through the system. All these possible solutions may represent a higher initial cost, but when the energy savings is considered, any can provide overall long term savings.

Mentorship matters. Here's how to do it right.
By José Vasquez, Staff Writer
Editor's note: This popular story from the Daily Briefing's archives was republished on Aug. 22, 2018.
Early-tenure nurses—particularly those under age 35—can be hard to hold onto, but a properly structured mentorship program can reduce nursing turnover and strengthen your workforce, Advisory Board's Marisa Deline told Daily Briefing.
Join tomorrow's webconference: How to restore nurse camaraderie on the unit
Nursing churn
Churn is a growing problem for nurses at all levels of experience: Turnover among bedside RNs trended up from 2009 to 2015, with the overall median rate in 2016 reaching just under 12%, according to Advisory Board's national data.
Millennial nurses are a third of our workforce—here's how to retain them
But the challenge is particularly acute for early-tenure nurses: more than 25% of nurses that turn over are in their first year of employment. Many of those leaving are under age 35.
For hospitals, this trend is particularly concerning because nurses younger than 35 comprise nearly one-third of the nursing workforce, and that percentage will only grow as baby boomer retirements tick up in the coming years.
How one hospital revamped its approach to hold onto new nurses
Many hospitals have sought to stem the churn of early-tenure nurses by adopting "peer buddy" programs to help recent graduates ease into the nursing profession. But such support typically lasts for only a few months—falling short of fully acclimating new hires to their roles.
UnityPoint Health-Methodist | Proctor has a different approach. The health system has a two-year, unit-based mentor program aimed at helping new nurses adjust to their roles—while also reducing turnover.
Since launching the program in 2002, UnityPoint has helped countless nurses receive the support they need to thrive in their roles, Jennie Van Antwerp, the director of acute care nursing at UnityPoint, said.
Here's how you can replicate UnityPoint's success in three simple steps.
Step 1: Mentoring is hard work. Support mentors with time and resources.
The first step is to allocate the right resources. Many peer buddy or mentorship programs peter out because people are busy with their daily work. UnityPoint has overcome this challenge by calling upon a small number of mentors and supporting those mentors with a structured program.
A clinical nurse educator allocates 20% of work time to coordinate the program, while mentors and mentees both receive up to 12 hours of paid time per year to engage in on-site mentoring activities, including cohort meetings and one-on-one conversations. Mentors receive an additional six hours of paid training annually, and every quarter mentors receive training to ensure that they are prepared to help new hires. Each unit receives annual funding to cover the cost of mentoring-related activities.
Step 2: Identify mentors who have the passion—and the time—to do the job right.
The second step is picking mentors who are passionate about mentorship. In traditional mentorship programs, mentors are often called upon time and time again to support less experienced staff. This repetitive matching can lead to burnout and lack of interest in investing in mentees.
5 strategies for reducing nurse manager overload
Instead of focusing on quantity—by assigning each mentee with one mentor—organizations should focus on quality, Advisory Board's Deline says. Managers should nominate a small number of experienced nurses who are eager to serve as mentors for their unit.
Under UnityPoint's mentorship program, a manager nominates between one to three mentors per unit to oversee a cohort of about eight new hires for two years. This longer-term commitment enables UnityPoint to invest in training a small group of volunteer mentors—and creating a group of mentors who can share and discuss their experiences together.
Step 3: Track how your mentors perform—and what they learn from your new hires.
Finally, organizations should create a system for mentors to track their mentorship activities. Documenting activities helps keep mentors accountable and provides organizations with vital information about the concerns of recent hires. That information can also help shape mentorship activities for future mentors and mentees.
At UnityPoint, mentors must submit a yearly form in which they describe the mentoring activities they facilitated as well as overall themes they noticed from engaging with new hires. The forms include yearly goals for their unit, plans for meeting those goals, and any topics they discussed during one-on-one meeting with their mentees, among other things.
As an incentive to mentors, UnityPoint offers stipends—which are determined by a points-based system that recognizes mentors for each activity they complete. Depending on how many points they accumulate, mentors can earn a small annual payout between $75 and $125.
To learn more about how to retain early-tenure nurses and engage nursing staff in setting standards of behavior on their unit, join us tomorrow, August 23, for a webconference, where you'll learn best practices to restore nurse camaraderie on the unit by identifying and addressing incivility hot spots and reconnecting nurses through storytelling.

Q: Retrieve rows with date before specified date in Excel Original Question:
Let's say I have a table - Table 1 - that looks like this:

How would I automatically populate the table - Table 2 - below?

The second table should only show the values from table 1 if they were available on 30 June. For example, A should only show a value of 10,000 and not 5,000.

Updated question(to make it clearer to understand):

Basically, how can I put formulas in cells C16 to C27 so that they will be filled up as in the picture above? Cells C16 to C27 must be able to retrieve the latest values for A,B,C,D available in the first table as at the dates in cells E16 to E27.
For example: Cell C25 should return 15,000 because that's the latest available value at 30 September. It shouldn't return 20,000 because that value was only available after 30 September.
Thanks so much to everyone for all your help!

A: There are some simpler ways to do this in Excel.  However, I use LO Calc, and a few easy formulas that work in Excel don't work in Calc.  I had to use a method I could verify.  So here's a solution that also works in Calc.
This solution uses a helper column (what you see in column F in the screenshot), which you can hide if you don't want to see it.

My output for September 2016 doesn't match yours.  It took a few minutes to realize that's because you didn't include the September C and D data in your example.  My result is correct for the data.
Formulas
Lets start with the helper column.  Table 2 is based on names within calendar quarters.  The helper column gives you that.  The formula in F2:
=CEILING(MONTH(E2)/3)&A2

The first part calculates which quarter the date is in.  The name is concatenated to that using &.
That brings us to the meat of the problem.  The formula in C16 is:
=IFERROR(INDEX(C$2:C$12,SUMPRODUCT(MAX((F$2:F$12=F16)*ROW(F$2:F$12)))-1),"")

How it works
I'll explain the formula from the inside, working out.

*

*SUMPRODUCT(MAX((F$2:F$12=F16)*ROW(F$2:F$12)))
The SUMPRODUCT identifies the row containing the last entry in the helper column that matches the name and quarter.

*INDEX(C$2:C$12,last_matching_row-1)
INDEX picks that value from your data in column C using the row of that last value.  However, the location is specified relative to the range it's looking in, not the actual row on the workshhet, so the -1 adjusts for that.

*=IFERROR(formula,"")
The workhorse part of the formula calculates your result when you have data.  If there's no data, it returns an error.  So the formula is wrapped in IFERROR, which produces an empty cell if there's no data.

A: I was able to achieve the desired results with the following formula:
=SUMIFS(B1:B6,C1:C6, "<="&TEXT(K1,"dd-mm-yyy"), A1:A6,A1)

Column B is the values column from your Table A.
Column C is the Date column from your Table A.
"<="&TEXT(K1,"dd-mm-yyy") is <=30-Jun-2016 (There's probably a better way to do this).
Column A is the Name column from your table A.
the SUMIFS function takes more than 1 criteria - so we are summing the values in column B, where the dates in column C are less than or equal to the date in cell K1, AND where the Names in column A match the name in A1.
I'm sorry for the poor layout of my answer, I am new to this - I hope this helps.
EDIT: Based on the updated information added to the question, my answer does not work. My answer sums the values but the question only calls for the most recent value.

About Poetry
My website presents my poetry through my Heart Suite trilogy, Heart Songs, Heart's Journey and Heart Strong. These three books collect my poems written from 1969 to 2012. Many of my poems, including some written after 2012, are presented in the poem videos, audio poems, poem texts, and in my poetry blog posts. As a poet, my poetry/poems are journal entries from my heart and my dreams. My poet world encompasses my friends, family, home, community, city, travels, including death, birth, menstruation, menopause, youth, aging, cosmology, seasons, nature and the eternal mysteries of life.
I began writing as a poet in 1968 at age 36, when I wrote a video drama with Roque Dalton for Cuban TV. Dalton was an exiled Salvadoran writer living in Havana where I was at the time working on a film crew making a documentary about Fidel for San Francisco, California TV. My concern for Roque's safety inspired my first poem in 1969, as he prepared to join the Salvadoran revolutionaries to liberate his country from the military dictatorship. When the poem was published in an alternative San Francisco newspaper, Express, I could only use his initials in the title and refer to El Salvador as "unknown terrain."
Publication was a real thrill but was not enough. Back in San Francisco I began reading my poems at neighborhood rallies and meetings to "Free Los Siete," referring to seven immigrant Salvadoran youth who had been charged with killing a policeman a few blocks from my house. This led to my involvement with an exciting group of activist Latinx poets in the San Francisco Bay Area. I became part of a literary collective called Editorial Pocho Che. My first book of poems, Heart Songs, was published by Editorial Pocho Che as part of its tenth anniversary series along with books by poets, raulsalinas and Roberto Vargas.
Throughout the 1980's, I continued to write and perform poetry. But my poetic activities were often subsumed by solidarity work around the Nicaraguan Sandinista revolution (1979-1989) about which I have written a novel, Nicaragua Way.
In the 1990's living in the San Francisco East Bay, I hosted poetry readings and poetry writing workshops at La Peña in Berkeley with poet Diane Wang for three years. Through Diane, I was exposed to the literature of the world's great living poets of Africa and Asia, as well as works from antiquity. I also conducted Oakland public library poetry writing workshops called Wisdom Women with Mary Rudge, poet laureate of Alameda CA. whose knowledge and support infused my work.
In the 21st century, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars renewed my involvement with the antiwar movement where I met Peruvian poet Adrian Arias, who worked at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA) in San Francisco which I had helped co-found in 1979. I translated his two chapbooks entitled: Poema del Día / Book of the Day (2008) and El Libro del Cuerpo / Book of the Body (2009). In 2011 we produced a bilingual chapbook of both our poems, called The Big Questions which also includes Arias' visual art. The following year, (2012) I translated Arias' ground breaking short science fiction visual-novel Beautiful Trash: The Lost Library.
Arias initiated a woman's arts series at the Centro for visual art and poetry called "Luna Negra" through which I met the feminist poet, healer. musician and spiritual leader Mamacoatl. Inspired by her charisma and bold activism I participated in many poetry reading for which I wrote new poems. We celebrated the UN mandated day of the Elimination of Violence against women on the steps of San Francisco City Hall with poetry, music, dance and ceremony for many years until her untimely death in 2015.
In continue to promote poetry in my radio work. Currently I produce poetry programs for KPFA (Pacifica Network) and for OZCAT radio in Vallejo. I still continue promoting poetry on Cover to Cover, Nina and Jack, and Literary Dialogs with Nina Serrano on radio expanding to include videos on YouTube and on my website.

Peter Continues to Grow, Even as He Regresses, in The Amazing Spider-Man 790
by Spencer Irwin
If internet reaction is to be believed (spoiler alert: it's often not), making Peter Parker the CEO of his own company was not a popular direction for the character. I've seen complaints that the stories just "didn't feel like Spider-Man," but I've never agreed with that — those adventures were writer Dan Slott pulling off what so many creators try and fail to do, respecting the core of a character ("with great power must also come great responsibility") while finding new ways to express and progress those intrinsic traits. My biggest fear about "Legacy" and the death of Parker Industries has been that Peter would regress, and while he does seem to be taking a few steps backwards as he deals with the loss of his company, in Amazing Spider-Man 790 Slott and Stuart Immonen show that they're still interested in moving Peter's story forward and finding ways for him to grow as a person.
Other than his (understandable) sulking and general loss of direction in the aftermath of PI's destruction, the greatest step backwards for Peter is his knock-down, drag-out brawl with Johnny Storm in the former Baxter Building. It's a mirror to the battle they waged when Peter first bought the building (now he's selling it), but it's certainly not a flattering one — I don't want my heroes to be perfect, but petty squabbles like this one (which also rack up thousands of dollars of property damage) live down to the worst perceptions of superheroes and comic books both in-universe and out. And although Harry doesn't know Spider-Man is Peter Parker, it's still Spidey's recklessness and Peter's complete apathy to it that sends Harry packing, losing Peter one of the few true allies he had left. Peter continues to sink lower, and I'd say that in many ways he finishes this issue in an even worse place than he began it.
Yet, through it all there's a light of hope — a moment of growth.
Joe Robertson's phone call is just the stroke of good luck Peter needs right now, but what truly satisfies me as a fan are those second and third panels. Peter made his fair share of mistakes running Parker Industries, but now he's learning from them. He's finding out where his true strengths lie, and he's not running from those lessons. They'll serve Peter well wherever he lands next, and the fact that Slott and Immonen are still looking for ways for Peter to grow and learn instead of just regressing him back to his classic status quo make me one happy fan. Consider my "Legacy" fears quashed.

One comment on "Peter Continues to Grow, Even as He Regresses, in The Amazing Spider-Man 790"
While I can't comment on the comic specifically, just want to say I agree 100% with everything you say here in the abstract. And I had the exact same fear about Legacy's effect on Spiderman, and glad that Slott actually has a plan for growth and moving forward.
I may like so very few of his actual books, but Slott is one of the best idea men in comics. He is always making the right choices, even if I rarely like the execution of those choices
