Because of its portability, liquified petroleium gas (LP-Gas) provides you with modern conveniences no matter where you travel. Stored as a liquid and used as a gas, it will cook your meals, heat your vehicle, keep you supplied with hot water, and even refrigerate your food. LP-gas -- whether it's propane, butane, or a mixture of the two -- is non-toxic, safe and economical.
Like any fuel, however, LP-gas is combustible. This page contains some important points for safe storage, handling and use of LP-gas containers, systems and appliances. If others traveling are unfamiliar with LP-gas, or if you lend your vehicle to someone -- be sure to acquaint them with these safety tips as well.
When produced, LP-gas is both colorless and odorless. For safety reasons, a chemical odorant is added so that, in the event of a leak, you can detect the escaping gas by its strong, distinct smell. Ask your LP-gas supplier to familiarize you and your family with this smell.
Under certain circumstances, propane gas may lose the distinctive odor that was added. This is sometimes called "odor fade", and it can occur both in new steel containers when first placed into service and in used steel containers left open to the atmosphere for a long time. In addition, under certain circumstances not everyone can smell the odorant in propane. Physical conditions such as competing odors, common colds and allergies, smoking, etc. may lessen a person's ability to smell.
If you think the odor of your propane gas is weak, or if your sense of smell is impaired, call your propane supplier. A service technician can verify the odor of the propane gas in your tank. And if your sense of smell is impaired, consider installing an electronic gas detector in your RV.
All occupants should leave the vehicle immediately.
Do not operate electrical switches or light a match.
Turn of all gas appliances.
Close all cylinder or tank supply valves immediately.
Open all doors and windows and let fresh air blow away the escaped gas.
Call a trained gas service person and do not turn the gas on again until the leak has been found and corrected.
LP-gas, usually propane, is sold and stored in containers that, when properly filled, contain about 80% liquid. The remaining 20% of space above the liquid contains propane vapor. It is the vapor that burns in your appliance when mixed with air. The vapor space in the propane cylinder also provides room for the liquid propane to expand if the cylinder is exposed to warmer temperatures.
The pressure relief valve may open, discharging propane to relieve the pressure.
Propane liquid could enter the piping system, resulting in higher than normal pressures to the appliances.
New cylinders or used cylinders that have been exposed to the atmosphere must be purged of air before being filled.
There are two basic types of portable propane cylinders we'll talk about -- the vertical (upright) standard cylinder and the horizontal cylinder that comes with a special mounting bracket and which can be installed either vertically or horizontally. Both cylinders are manufactured in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications.
When you purchase a new cylinder, be sure it fits the bracket you have. Vertical cylinders can only be used standing upright, whereas horizontal cylinders are designed for service while lying on their sides. If they are interchanged, propane liquid rather than vapor could enter the piping system. This might cause excessive pressure and, possibly, a fire or explosion.
Finally, when you install your new or refilled cylinder, remember that, to a single cylinder system, all appliance valves must be turned off before you open the container service valve.
It is important for you to be familiar with the type of cylinder(s)you own. Installing the incorrect cylinder could allow propane liquid to enter the piping system, causing your appliances to malfunction and creating a fire and explosion hazard.
Cylinders approved for use with LP-gas (both propane and butane) will have one of the following specification numbers following the DOT or ICC stamping: 4B-240, 4BA-240, 4B-300, 4BW-240, 4E-240 and 26-300. The "240" in the DOT 4B-240 designates the service working pressure of the cylinder. Only cylinders with one of these markings may be used for LP-gas.
Department of Transportation regulations require that all DOT or ICC cylinders be inspected and requalified within 12 years of the date of manufacture and on a regular basis thereafter -- every 5 years if it's inspected visually, for example. This inspection is typically done by a qualified technician when your cylinder is refilled. For information about cylinder inspection and requalification, consult your Propane Gas Dealer.
Your cylinder should also bear a decal which identifies the contents as a flammable gas by name and international I.D. number (UN 1075). Other cylinder warning labels available from your propane gas dealer are useful for future reference. Ask to have them applied the next time you take your cylinder in for refilling.
Filling a DOT propane gas cylinder that has not been properly inspected and qualified violates federal law.
Propane gas cylinders must be transported so the relief valve communicates with the vapor space at all times. For that reason, you should never transport a cylinder lying on its side unless it's a cylinder designed for horizontal use.
Never use, store, or transport full cylinders or empty ones in the passenger space or living area of your RV or camper.
Any cylinder that is damaged, shows signs of corrosion, has been exposed to fire, or appears to be leaking gas should be removed from service immediately. Store defective cylinders in a safe, outdoor location. Then as soon as possible, have them repaired or disposed of by a qualified service technician.
New cylinders must be properly purged of air by a qualified person prior to filling for the first time. This is because air left in a cylinder will affect how your appliance works. The presence of air can also diminish the odorant level in the container and cause excessive pressures. Once a cylinder has been properly purged of air, keep the cylinder valve closed, except when connected for use.
DOT cylinders are filled by weight or fixed liquid level gauge to insure against overfilling. Be sure to have your cylinder filled by a qualified individual, and if filled by fixed liquid level gauge, have the weight of the cylinder checked occcasionally to assure that the tube in the fixed gauge is properly located and giving an accurate measurement.
Only personnel trained in the proper filling procedures of DOT cylinders should engage in this activity.
Before entering the refueling area, turn off all pilot lights, appliances, and automatic ignition devices. Before permanently mounted propane containesr are refueled, all passengers should also leave the vehicle after the engine is turned off.
The fill operation should be stopped as soon as the fixed liquid level gauge indicates that the maximum safe fill level has been reached.
NOTE. Some of these filler devices are equipped with an automatic stop-fill capability. The appliances can then be put back into operation after the vehicle has left the fill area.
Make sure all appliance valves are shut off.
Shut off the manual shut-off valve on the cylinder(s) supplying propane to the system.
Disconnect the cylinder (left hand thread) and remove for refilling. Install a protective plug in valve outlet if transporting.
Prior to reconnecting the cylinder to the service line, secure cylinder in a cabinet or bracket and remove the protective plug.
Check your appliances to be sure that appliance gas valve are still turned off inside the vehicle.
Turn on the manual service valve on your cylinder and check for leaks with an approved leak detector solution. Be sure to check that control equipment is operational and not stuck in the "open" position. Do not use a match or an open blame to check for leaks.
After you are sure the system is leak-free and the controls are operating properly, relight all pilots, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Travel Trailers and Tent Trailers: On the A frame as close to the front of the trailer body as possible.
Motor Homes, Vans, Fifth Wheel Trailers for Slide-in Chassis-mounted Units: In a recessed compartment, accessible only from and ventilated ot the outdoors and gas tight to the interior of the vehicle. Pressure relief valves must be pointed away from the vehicle or toward the container compartment opening.
Because propane vapors are heavier than air, the compartments for all propane containers aboard your vehicle must be ventilated, both at the top and bottom, and completely sealed from the interior of your vehicle.
Containers located on the rear of a vehicle must be securely fastened and protected by substantial bumpers. The vehicle's minimum normal road clearance under maximum load conditions must never be compromised by the location of a propane container.
Propane gas containers should not be mounted on the roof or in front of a vehicle.
Protect the outside of your container with light-colored, heat reflective paint (such as white). This will help reduce the increased pressure as temperatures rise, and protect against rust and corrosion. Aluminum cylinders do not require painting.
NOTE: If your vehicle is involved in a collision or other accident, shut the gas supply off at the container and have the system checked by a qualified propane gas service person. Again, never use an open flame to check for leaks.
Propane gas reacts to temperature changes. When the temperature drops, the pressure in the container drops. When the temperature increases, the pressure increases. A regulator assembly must be provided to maintain a constant delivery pressure to your appliances at all times. Two-stage pressure regulation must be used on all RV's.
Attach the regulator assembly directly to the container valve or on the bracket with a flexible high pressure connector between the cylinder valve and the regulator. Remember the pressure between the container and the regulator assembly is tank pressure, and this is the reason for requiring a high pressure connector.
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair a regulator -- call your propane gas dealer if service is required.
When tightening a POL fitting into the service outlet valve (left-hand thread) of the cylinder, use a smooth jawed wrench (such as a crescent wrench). Do not over-tighten. This brass fitting is designed to be leak-tight without the use of pipe compound. Finally, be careful not to scratch or damage the round nose of a POL seat.
Propane regulators must be protected and installed to prevent the vent's clogging due to rain, snow, sleet, ice, condensation or road spray. To prevent the regulator from being exposed to these conditions, special shielding protection must be provided.
A blocked regulator vent could result in excessive gas pressure to appliances, or regulator failure, which could result in injury or property damage.
The presence of moisture in the fuel may cause the regulator to freeze up. The following suggestions may help you prevent regulator freeze-ups and allow moisture to pass harmlessly through the regulator.
Always keep the cylinder (or container) valve closed and POL plug in place when not in use to prevent moisture from collectcing inside the container.
If you suspect the presence of moisture, your propane dealer can inject methyl alcohol into your cylinder (or container) before filling.
Approved and properly adjusted appliances are very important. Improper flame adjustment (which you can detect by a yellow flame at the burner tip) is dangerous. With adequate ventilation, an operating burner gives off harmless products such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. However, a propane appliance starved of oxygen can quickly produce dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide and may result in asphyxiation. When operating your oven and/or range, open a vent and window to insure an adequate supply of air for safe operation. Never use the oven for heating the recreational vehicle.
NOTE: If any of these symptoms should develop, get into the fresh air immediately, and have your propane system checked and repaired as needed.
Never use the oven or stove top burner to heat your vehicle.
Never use any camping or other portable heater that is not designed and approved for your vehicle or is not approved for use with propane gas.
Never take a barbeque grill (propane or charcoal) inside your vehicle to cook or heat with.
Have all appliances, including venting and burner system, tested for proper operation by a qualified propane gas service person.
Always be sure your vehicle is properly ventilated.
There are commercial detectors available that can be easily installed inside a camper to warn of the presence of carbon monoxide.
Heaters used in RVs must be approved for RV use and be of a sealed combustible type or heave other special vent systems.

The Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship is renowned for high-action racing; but nobody could have predicted the outcome of this weekend. In fact, as Momentum's first round in charge of the Dunlop Tyres social media accounts, it couldn't have been more exciting. Read on for our day-by-day round-up of the weekend's action at Brands Hatch Indy.
On Friday, the Momentum team took to the track to interview Dan Cammish; the man who's filled the coveted Honda Racing seat left behind by double-champion Gordon Shedden. As we walked the twists and turns of the the 1.2km Brands Hatch Indy circuit, it was clear to see Dan meant business; this was confirmed during Saturday's sessions where we filmed a 360° lap for fans to enjoy.
In qualifying, Dan stunned the grid and took provisional pole, however was stripped of his times for running a red light in the pit lane. As a result, he missed out on a dream debut to start 4th on the grid. But on the positive side, Dan produced stellar performances and left the weekend with the Jack Sears trophy for placing highest in the rookies. Look out BTCC fans, this guy is a contender.
We've already deliberated the question 'how do we make the tyre area cool' many times. So, this weekend we set out to do just that and judging by the reaction we succeeded. The video in question has already racked up over 12,000 views; contributing to an 187% overall increase in video views as of Monday morning.
There's some great personalities within the Dunlop Motorsport team, which fans wouldn't usually be able to enjoy. The technicians are great ambassadors for the brand as well as an integral part of the BTCC's success; it's only right that we tell their story too. It's a bonus that the fans reacted with huge positivity.
If you've never seen the Dunlop BTCC before, go back and watch this weekend on ITV player; the pure action and emotion emulates exactly why thousands of people have a deep love for the sport. In addition to the high-octane racing and home-grown talent, the BTCC has a proud family atmosphere and strong connections between fans and drivers.
In addition, the weekend was a shining example of why Dunlop Tyres is so integral to the excitement. After a dry start to the weekend, free practice and qualifying went smoothly; however as the rain came down on Sunday morning, tyre management became the prime topic of conversation. In short, the opener produced 3 different race winners, 9 different drivers on the podium with maiden podiums for Jake Hill, Ollie Jackson and an astounding first win for Senna Proctor.
We've never really run the Option-Soft tyre in wet conditions, but as the track dried it all worked; I'm over the moon and race two will go down in history.
Due to the rain, race one was run on Dunlop BluResponse tyres; creating an equal playing field with all drivers using the same tyres and none carrying success ballast. However, as the rain subsided in race two, experienced champions at the front of the grid remained on wet tyres. Whereas the rising stars at the back of the grid gambled on Prime and Option-Soft tyres.
As a result, they unknowingly created the recipe for a truly-historic race; out of the 15 race winners and 5 champions on the grid, not a single one made the podium. Instead, 2017 rookie Senna Proctor took his first win after charging from 27th to 1st position; equalling the Dunlop #ForeverForward record set at the same time last year and in the process proving how vital tyre management is to success.
Senna was joined on the podium by Team HARD's Jake Hill and AMD Tuning's Ollie Jackson; neither driver had ever made the podium before and the Momentum team were privileged to share an emotional moment with each driver.

Q: How to change App root / Project path when hosting React app with AWS Amplify? I hosted my react app with AWS Amplify but nothing shows up when I open the url and everything was deployed successfully. I believe this is because AWS is not using the correct path to my project. My general project folder structure is:

*

*App folder:

*

*Backend folder

*Client folder

My react app is the client folder and I think Amplify is not picking up on that. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

A: First make sure your client folder is built for react the command is npm run build.
If you need to change root paths, go to node_modules/webpack/webpack.config.js
This file holds all information on how your app is rendered

A: I deleted the amplify app and restarted the process and noticed I had to specify it was a monorepo and added the app root = client folder in the yaml and it works as expected.

What is it? Logistic regression is a classifier that uses a set of weighted measurements to predict the sample class (e.g., healthy, diseased) based on probability.
When is it used? This model is used when 1) we want to compare ≤ 2 different groups to each other, 2) the samples are independent from each other, 3) the populations may or may not be normally distributed, 4) the population groups are known (e.g., healthy, diseased), and 5) data transformation by other methods result in nonsensical values. It is usually used when the response is binary: yes or no, healthy or diseased, etc.
We analyze the protein profile of 1,000 proteins of 100 healthy patients and 100 cancer patients using an antibody-based microarray. We want to identify the specific biomarkers that will predict which future patients are healthy or diseased.
Center & scale data by subtracting the mean of each patient dataset from itself (Figure 1B) and dividing each patient dataset with its standard deviation (Figure 1C), respectively. Now all datasets have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
Fit the logistic model based on a subset of variables (Figure 2). This is accomplished by adding different weights to the biomarkers. The data should follow an S-shape (i.e., sigmoid function).
Evaluate the performance of the model by ROC curve analysis (Figure 3).
What does the data look like? The data can be presented in a table format, listing the biomarkers in their model and their corresponding coefficients (i.e., weights). Performance of the logistic regression is evaluated by ROC curve analysis.


Through its model of collaborative disruption and a landmark partnership with Caterpillar, Uptake plans to put the construction industry's data to profitable use. The construction industry has seen it coming for a while now: The commoditization and decreased costs of telematics, both in terms of hardware and connectivity, could help lead to billions of dollars' worth of new efficiencies in operations and capital management. Several factors, including a downturned economy and glut of used equipment that has at times slowed the purchasing of new machines, have meant the industry has been slow to adopt telematics and the so-called industrial internet-of-things. But there are signs that will soon dramatically change.
A recent push from OEMs and AEMPs to standardize hardware and information throughout the industry, combined with the decreasing cost of telematics and connectivity equipment, signals that the industry is on the cusp of generating what could amount to billions of dollars' worth of increased uptime, better equipment utilization, and optimized workflow processes and operations.
But similar to what has been seen in other industries (rail, aviation, energy, etc.), these changes will present challenges. In short, telematics will generate a deluge of data that most companies in the industry won't be prepared to analyze, much less take actionable insights on. Equipping millions of pieces of construction equipment with sensors is the easy part—utilizing the data they'll produce is the real obstacle.
Uptake, a Chicago-based data analytics company, wants to take on the data challenge. It's working with the industry to both standardize its telematics ecosystem, and also to provide a platform to use all of that data to increase efficiencies across the board. But rather than developing a software platform as a third-party vendor to sell to the sector, it launched a joint venture project with Caterpillar to drive change from within the industry itself.
Examples of how data can be used to increase efficiency and drive revenue for the construction industry can be quite powerful. For example, sensors on a piece of equipment could alert owners to a maintenance need. The equipment is then taken offline for a scheduled repair and it's sent to a shop with a waiting mechanic that specializes in the repair and already has the needed part. Back at the job site, another piece of equipment has been scheduled to temporarily fill in. The time and hours saved on just one repair are significant—but an example like this barely scratches the surface.
When data analytics becomes prevalent across the industry, its uses and effects could be staggering. Contractors could know just how long a piece of equipment can operated before a repair is needed, down to the hour. Daily job site data gatherings, such as weather, can affect job site preparation and labor. Data can optimize job site schedules; manage fleets of equipment, including their uptime and utilization; dealers and rental houses can improve logistics and service. Companies can increase equipment utilization and decrease downtime for themselves and their customers. Construction schedules can be shortened; workforces could be optimized day-by-day; project management could be transformed.
The Uptake platform gathers both historical and real-time data, and then combines it to be analyzed and provide actionable predictions to its users. Results are then fed back into the software platform to further refine and validate its accuracy. This information includes condition monitoring, workflows, logistics fleet management and other streams, such as weather and event-specific information.
Through its model of collaborative disruption, partnerships give Uptake unprecedented access to staggering amounts of historical data that only companies with long histories in the industry can provide. Caterpillar and Uptake began working together in 2015 to identify the strategic touch points where predictive analytics can transform construction, in terms of both equipment and the ecosystem in which they operate. As the Uptake software platform becomes more powerful, the two companies are working together to validate its predictions, ensuring quality and trust in the program.
Similar to its partnership with Caterpillar, Uptake has also begun ventures in other industrial verticals, including a recently announced deal with Berkshire Hathaway Energy for work with its wind farms just weeks ago. These joint ventures put the focus on actionable outcomes that increase efficiency and return on investment, not on the software platforms themselves—outcomes as a service, not software as a service. In this way, Uptake's partners share in both the risk and reward of the product.
With all its ambition, Uptake is still a young company. Its partnership with Caterpillar is the beginning of its move into the construction industry, which is just beginning to validate the power of predictive analytics.
Uptake was founded in Chicago by Brad Keywell and Eric Lefkofsky, a pair of entrepreneurs who also founded Groupon, Echo Global Logistics, Mediaocean and their venture capital fund, Lightbank. In just two short years, the company has grown to more than 700 employees and was recently valued at $2 billion.

Darts has produced some iconic and colourful characters over the years with the likes of Eric Bristow, John Lowe, Raymond van Barneveld and Phil Taylor just to name a few.
In an era where the sport is at its pinnacle, there isn't a character in the game quite like Peter Wright, writes Paul Joannou.
Wright, born in Livingston, Scotland, was first seen on the darting stage at 1995 BDO World Championships where he exited at the first round to then world No.1 Ritchie Burnett.
Back then he was dressed very ordinarily and wore a plain black shirt, unrecognisable to the attire he now dons. Wright gave up the game not long after that tournament as he wasn't making enough money. He returned just over a decade later after persuasion from his wife.
'Snakebite', as he is nicknamed, has become one of the most popular players in the game. His colourful Mohican, patterned scalp, flamboyant trousers and fun walk-on has won the hearts of darts fans across the globe.
"I'd say I'm definitely the most fun player on the circuit," he declared.
It's not just Wright's character that's allowed him to make a name for himself. The 47-year-old is second in the world and has warned world No.1 Michael van Gerwen to watch his back.
And although Wright's preparations for the World Championships have been disrupted by a dash to hospital with suspected gallstones at the start of the month, his darts are in a great place.
Wright has won 11 titles overall in 2017, while he also reached the World Matchplay and Premier League finals in what's been a stellar year. The crucial one for Snakebite was back in March when he won the UK Open, his first ever major PDC title which he believes to be a catalyst after such a long wait and is now looking to win his first World Championship.
"It's a monkey off your back and it gave me confidence and it's why I won five European tournaments as well," he added.
"It's definitely been the best year of my career but there's more to come from me, I want to win more and I know I can win more.
Wright will certainly be bringing different colours and patterns to the World Championships at Alexandra Palace, which kicked off on Thursday.
A lot of Wright's time is taken out preparing his hair before a big night of darts. His wife Joanne, a professional hair stylist, is the lady behind the styles and the UK Open holder has hailed her efforts and believes the routine has had a positive impact on his darts.
"We do it on the morning of a tournament or match. So I usually get up, have breakfast, have a shower and then we do my hair. I usually leave it all down to Jo to decide the design and that's usually done on the day.
While Jo is the one who ensures Snakebite looks dashing, she wasn't the inspiration behind the idea.
Wright certainly caused a stir among a few players when he implemented his new style and stage antics during his walk-ons. Two-time world champ Adrian Lewis ignored Wright as he danced on stage during the 2016 Grand Slam of Darts, Gary Anderson and Michael van Gerwen have also questioned the Scotsman in the past while van Gerwen called Wright 'unprofessional' back in 2015.
Snakebite though isn't fussed about those criticisms and feels there's a hint of envy among some players.
Wright the entertainer and showman of darts have matched the way the sport has grown over the past decade. Crowds are getting bigger each year, more fans are wearing fancy dress and there are more players capable of winning the big tournaments and Wright believes the game is at the best it's ever been.
Wright hasn't been the only player to win his first major title in 2017. Mensur Suljovic won his first major in the Champions League of Darts, beating two-time world champion Gary Anderson in the final. Daryl Gurney also won his first major, capturing the World Grand Prix title back in October with victory over Simon Whitlock.
The World Championships are getting harder to predict each year with so many potential contenders. Wright has suffered plenty of setbacks during his career and had to deal with years of pundits highlighting the fact he was missing a major title, but Snakebite believes that determination and good mental strength is the key to success.
"If you put the hours in and have belief and commitment it can be so rewarding.
After the World Championships, darts will be losing the greatest player to ever grace the oche. Phil Taylor will be retiring from the game after the Championships. 'The Power' has won every single title including 16 World Championships and 16 World Matchplays and Wright feels the current crop of players should take responsibility and ensure darts picks up from where Taylor left off and continues in an upward trajectory.
"I'm really going to miss Taylor. He's a real joker, he's always winding people up and cracking jokes, he's great and I will miss him.

Finally, a gate agent steps aboard the plane and says, "They've already taken your wheelchair to your gate. We'll just take you in one of our chairs." Ummm, excuse me? What gate?? Remember that part about a two-and-a-half hour layover? My wheelchair with the motor is a $15,000 ride and acts as a stand-in for my legs. I'm not at all comfortable with someone arbitrarily deciding where it goes without me. Besides, I don't want to go the gate. I want to go the bathroom, take my dog to the relief area, and get some food. In other words, just like anyone else, I have opinions about where I go.
Confused, I point out my concerns and ask that they bring my wheelchair back to me. It becomes rapidly clear the gate agent has zero concern for how I feel about the situation when she barks, "We just need to get you off the plane so we can board all of the passengers." Wow, my dog has more empathy. Everywhere I speak, to thousands of people, I reinforce the message that, "Your job is not a task; your job is always a person." This gate agent, stressed about a 10-minute delay, obviously needs to hear me speak. Well, she kind of did….
As my mother can attest, I have a big stubborn streak. If you try to treat me like oversize luggage, you will get to see it in action.
I settle back in my seat, look her straight in the eye, and firmly state, "That is not my problem. The only option is that you bring my wheelchair." There was a collective intake of breath in the cabin. I was not their favorite person in that moment.
Ultimately it cost them additional time and the efforts of four people to get me off the aircraft. Four? The funny part (admittedly, only to me) was that when they brought my chair they wheeled it all the way onto the plane, turning a 90º corner, and wedged it against the front seats. No one had asked me what would be best or easiest. Since they seemed to be on a roll, I let them continue with their assumptions. I quickly and efficiently loaded it up (not my first rodeo) by attaching a 25-pound motor to the back axle and a backpack over the handles. I topped that off with a tote bag suspended by a carabiner then plopped me and my little dog onto the seat, waiting patiently for the fun to continue. At this point, someone behind me had a realization and asked to no one in particular, "How are we going to get this off the plane?" I swear I heard the pilot pull out a can opener to unwedge me from the aisle.
So much could have been different in this whole scenario. The problem was not that they mistakenly took my wheelchair to the wrong location. That's just an operational error. The real problem is the underlying assumptions and beliefs of the airline staff. They believe any wheelchair is as good as any other. To them, it's a mode of transportation like a cart. Any cart will do. To a person with mobility disabilities, a wheelchair (or other mobility aid) is their legs – their independence – their dignity. Would you want yours carted off?
Whether talking to someone with disabilities or not, pause to communicate with curiosity and respect instead of assumptions and condescension. Otherwise, in their eyes, you will never really have a leg to stand on.

← ABC Family
= ABC Family = == Brief History == In the early 1960's media tycoon and former Baptist minister, Pat Robertson began acquiring television properties, marking the foundation of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). CBN first aired on October 1, 1961 from a small television station in Portsmouth, Virginia<ref>"About CBN: Mission and History of CBN." CBN.com - The Christian Broadcasting Network. 2010. Web. 04 Oct. 2010. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;http://www.cbn.com/about/index.aspx?option=print&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;.</ref>. It was not only the first Christian television station in Virginia, but it was also the first in the nation. In 1987, Robertson announced his candidacy for president and his son Tim, took over CBN as president and chief executive. One of the first changes Tim made, was altering the name to The Family Channel. Under its new name, The Family Channel's financial support excelled to a point that it created a tax issue for the nonprofit nature of the Christian Broadcasting Network. As a result, in 1989, a new company, International Family Entertainment was created and acquired The Family Channel from the Christian Broadcasting Network for $250 million<ref>"About CBN: Mission and History of CBN." CBN.com - The Christian Broadcasting Network. 2010. Web. 04 Oct. 2010. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;http://www.cbn.com/about/index.aspx?option=print&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;.</ref>. During the early 1990's Tim Robertson acquired MTM studios and revamped its production and programming team. During this time The Family Channel's ratings and popularity soared, catching the eye of founder, chairman, and chief executive of News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch partnered with the production company, Saban Entertainment and bought International Family for about $1.8 billion<ref>"ABC Family Worldwide, Inc. -- Company History."

The purchase of International Family also included the Family Channel and led to yet another name change, making it the Fox Family Channel. However, this new ownership didn't last long as plummeting ratings and questionable management led to its final sale. On October of 2001, the chairman and chief executive officer of Walt Disney, Michael D. Eisner solidified the deal, purchasing Fox Family Worldwide, Inc. for $5.2 billion<ref>"ABC Family Worldwide, Inc. -- Company History." Connecting Angel Investors and Entrepreneurs.

Shortly after, on November 10, 2001 the network was finally renamed to its current title of ABC Family<ref>"ABC Family Worldwide, Inc. -- Company History." Connecting Angel Investors and Entrepreneurs. Web. 04 Oct. 2010. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/ABC-Family-Worldwide-Inc-Company-History.html&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;.</ref>. Under its current ownership by Disney, ABC Family operates as a sister channel for broadcaster ABC and seems to be doing very well with more than 80 million subscribers in the United States<ref>"ABC Family Worldwide, Inc. -- Company History."

 == Scheduling == ABC Family tends to run a rather straightforward weekday schedule, and the general format is: From 11 p.m.- 7 a.m. various paid programmings are shown. There are also religious/evangelical programs such as the controversial ''The 700 Club'', which ABC Family is obligated to show under contract. <ref name="'700 Club' Joins Fight Over ABC Family">http://articles.latimes.com/2003/mar/13/business/fi-disney13</ref> A few sitcom or game show episodes are played as well.  From 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. various sitcoms are shown such as, ''That 70's Show, Boy Meets World, Full House, My Wife and Kids, Sabrina the Teenage Witch''.  From 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. the channel tends to continue showing sitcoms, but transitions into hour long dramas or feature-length films. The weekends are more variable and ABC Family will often host movie marathons on Saturdays and Sundays, often the movie marathons will have themes, such as all three Aladdin films or a Harry Potter weekend.<ref name="Aladdin coming to ABC Family! Times Three!">http://abcfamily.go.com/site/news/aladdin-coming-abc-family-times-three/549359</ref> <ref name="Harry Potter Weekend!">http://abcfamily.go.com/site/news/harry-potter-weekend/533800</ref>
 == Signature Programming and Promotional Techniques == == Target Audience == The "family" component of ABC Family has frequently been scrutinized ever since its 2001 shift in ownership. Officially, the channel seeks to be appropriate for kids, while at the same time mature enough to keep the attention of mom and dad. It seeks to attract young adults, with material that also keeps the interest of adults. The official target audience is 18-49 year olds, the most popular demographic with advertisers. However, president Paul Lee acknowledges that the people actually watching are more within the 18-34 year old range, a group referred to as "millennials". Despite this, the median primetime viewer age is 36. The channel competes with other "younger" channels, such as TBS, MTV, and VH1.<ref>Downey, Kevin. "ABC Family: Reaching Beyond Just Kids." Media Life 25 May 2005: n. pag. Web. 7 Oct 2010. &lt;http://www.medialifemagazine.com/news2005/may05/may23/3_wed/news3wednesday.html&gt;.</ref> Critics see ABC Family's direction a little differently. An article in the San Diego Union Tribute states that the target audience is, "Tech-savvy teens and preteens, and brave parents who aren't afraid to talk about sex, underage drinking, and why they might be watching ABC Family even if they didn't have kids," and that the channel "has become a source of addictively soapy dramas and overamplified sitcoms that take the term 'family' very loosely."<ref>"Meet the Channel: ABC Family A Guide to the Mystery Spots in Your Cable Lineup." San Diego Union-Tribune 13 April 2009: n. pag. Web. 7 Oct 2010. &lt;http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/apr/13/1c13tvmeet193036/&gt;</ref> A Mediaweek article compares ABC Family to Sandy Olsson in Grease, and suggests that it might be ditching its family aspect to attract advertisers: "As Sandy learned after the big drag race, sometimes a girl has to ditch the poodle skirt for a pair of skin-tight Capri pants."<ref>Crupi, Anthony. "ABC Family Wants to Own 18-49." Media Week 28 March 2010: n. pag. Web. 7 Oct 2010. &lt;http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/content_display/news/upfronts/e3ie9fc421daf51cf8258a310fe911abb92&gt;.</ref> Another article asks why a family channel is featuring gay characters, sex-laden dialogue, plots about underage drinking, drug use, and teenage sex, particularly given its conservative Christian past. ABC Family's response to this question is evident in its new slogan "A New Kind of Family". Millennials care about family, but don't relate to family in the traditional sense. President Paul Lee states: "[Millennials] are optimistic, they make decisions by consensus, and they're diverse — but most importantly they love family, which is great for our name and the brand," he said. "They may define family differently — it's not Ozzie and Harriet, but rather a much messier, more passionate, more fun, more real family."<ref>Juergens, Brians.

You're Going Where...To Do What?!
This past Monday, was the 207th anniversary of the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr at the cliffs under Weehawken. Hamilton, of course, was fatally wounded, and lingered in agony, before dying the next day in Manhattan.
What always strikes me about the event, was that at the time of the confrontation, Burr was Vice-President of the United States.
"Mr. Vice-President — is that a pistol in your hand?"
"To have a duel with Alexander Hamilton."
Likwise, how does anyone let Hamilton have a duel with the Vice-President?
Burr never stood trial, and though he remained Vice-President, his political career was over.
Hamilton is a hero of mine. Rising from an illegitimate birth in the West Indies, and orphaned by 13, he so impressed the locals, they banded together to pay for his voyage to North America, so that he could continue his studies. After being rebuffed by the toffs at Princeton, (for asking to complete his studies at an accelerated pace), he graduated from King's College (now Columbia). Through his work and brilliance, he rose to Lieutanant Colonel in the Continental Army, and and chief-of-staff to George Washington, all by his mid 20's.
Hamilton served as the nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, and came up with the plan for the federal government to assume the debt of the states, that was accumulated during the war.
In a foreshadowing of current debate, Jefferson, a smart guy, but no Hamilton (or John Adams), opposed the United States taking on the debt. Hamilton prevailed, after agreeing to Jefferson's demand that the permanent capital of the U.S. be on the Potomac.
He was a lawyer, and founder of the Bank of New York. He also served in the New York State Legislature and Continental Congress. A New Yorker through and through, his grave is in the churchyard of Trinity Church, steps from Wall Street.

"Half hour 'till the carriage arrives, Marigold," shouted the aid.
Marigold nodded and the aid stepped back behind the curtain. Marigold's gaze returned to the large mirror on the wall. Another man stood up and wrote a few more measurements on a piece of paper and walked back to the table wear a pair of pants rested.
"No need to rush. Measure twice, wear as much as you need. I do perfection," said the other man.
Tulio Basit finished up the seam of the pants and held them in front of him. Smiling to himself, Basit tossed the pants over to Marigold.
"Put your pants on, Mordecai, you're supposed to have some class," said Basit.
Marigold had gotten into the pants and was looking into the mirror and smiling. He walked over and grabbed the matching jacket and put it on, completing the suit. He fumbled with the tails and smiled smugly into the mirror.
Marigold turned as Basit walked up holding a box. Opening it, Basit showed a line of broaches in the shaped of the Marigold flower. There were several colors and types. Brass, gold, silver, steel, iron, pewter, sandstone, glass, and stained glass. Marigold surveyed them, a smile on his face.
Basit rolled his eyes and grabbed a different box from behind him. Opening it, he had another broach that was Marigold shaped as well.
"And one 'restoration' lacking any finesse," said Basit.
"I believe the term is art," said Basit.
"What do I owe you," said Marigold nodding to the box.
Marigold put his hand in his tailcoat pocket and his face change. Lifting out his hand, he had a palm full of confetti. He gave Basit a look.
Marigold buttoned the coat, and put the broach on his jacket. Accepting a matching top hat and a beautifully fashioned cane. He also accepted the box of broaches from Basit.
Marigold put some Ciams down on the table and tipped his hat. He walked through the curtain and off to the world. Basit sat down and stared at his measurements for his next visitor, a Mr. Ryan Holme.

With its dark velvety characteristics, ANTHRA-ZINC® offers a unique VMZINC® stone-like finish that is capable of blending with various materials, such as black slate.
This pre-weathering process involves a surface treatment of Natural Zinc. ANTHRA-ZINC is not a painted product, so the colour variations between batches achieve the intended appearance of stone rather than metal.
As with Natural Zinc, based on the type of installation, surface exposure to weather, and geographical conditions, ANTHRA-ZINC may slowly and gradually lighten over time to dark grey. Superficial surface scratches and marks will be covered by the natural grey patina.
Due to the aspect of ANTHRA-ZINC white marks, that can appear on surfaces that are unexposed to rain or are not regularly rinsed, will be more visible. However, such superficial marks do not reduce the material's lifespan.
While white marks can occasionally appear on zinc surfaces that are unexposed to rain or are not regularly rinsed, such superficial marks do not reduce the material's lifespan.
All ANTHRA-ZINC materials are delivered with a removable protective film to minimize fingerprints, scratches, and contamination.
If you have any questions on the performance of ANTHRA-ZINC or the suitability of this product in a particular area of a building, please contact your VMZINC office for more information.

Zenna Henderson's The Anything Box
Tuesday, December 4, 2012 Matthew David Surridge Comments 3 comments
As so often happens, I was at a book fair the other week when, again as so often happens, I stumbled on a book by a writer I'd heard of at some point and about whose work I was vaguely curious. In this case, the writer was Zenna Henderson and the book was a collection of sf and fantasy short stories called The Anything Box. Which, upon reading, I found to be quite intriguing.
Henderson was born in 1917 and died in 1983. Most writing I've found about her online (including her homepage, her SF Encyclopedia entry, and this excellent appreciation by Bud Webster) mention some or all of the following things: that she was a Mormon, that she taught Japanese-Americans in an internment camp during World War Two, and that she was one of the few women writing sf in the 1950s under an obviously female first name. Her work has influenced Orson Scott Card, Lois McMaster Bujold, and Connie Willis.
Henderson seems to be best known for her stories about the People, refugee aliens trying to make lives for themselves on Earth. None of those pieces are in The Anything Box. These stories stand alone; most, but not all, focus on teachers, children, and domestic life. Their technique is mainly simple and direct: straight-ahead narrative prose, eschewing tricks of chronology or unreliable narrators. "Things" uses alien vocabulary extensively, and "Turn the Page" borders on a Bradbury-like expressionistic lyricism, but on the whole the book is good solid 50s commercial prose. Which does some unexpected things.
The Anything Box fits 14 stories into 180 pages, pieces written between 1951 — "Come On, Wagon," Henderson's first published story — and 1962. These are lean, tight tales, a few set in the future or on other planets, but most set in the present day and introducing some element of the fantastic. There's an almost subliminally menacing sense to a lot of the stories. Partly that comes from a feel of powers lurking just out of sight. Mostly, though, I think it's a sense of tragedy just waiting to happen not because of the fantastic element as such, but because of the inadequacy of human response to the fantastic. Having said which, I'd also say that there's a strong sense of 50s liberal humanism to most of the stories. As a whole, the sensibility and approach vaguely reminded me of the better episodes of The Twilight Zone: well-crafted and of their time without being dated. But Henderson's work is somewhat more distinctive.
To start with, as mentioned, there are a lot of teachers in these stories — elementary schoolteachers, mainly, and most of them are women. So the stories are meditations on teaching and on relating to children; Henderson's stories are convincing both in their depiction of children and in arguing that science fiction is one of the natural ways for discussing the relations between adults and children. For all that every adult was a child once, children are the ultimate aliens: they think differently than we do. They grow up with different experiences, different givens, and their brains are not yet in the same configuration as an adult's. For an adult to try to enter into a child's world is very like trying to relate to a thing from another world, which imagines the universe in a way different from any we can easily understand.
Of course, the stories are therefore also about children, and about their imagination and what things would be like if the things they imagine were actually in part real, if their magical thinking was a grasp of reality from which adults are debarred — a partial grasp, maybe, but nevertheless a perception not available to the full-grown. Sometimes the focus remains entirely on the child, as in "Stevie and The Dark," which follows a boy as he invents rituals to hold a horrific force at bay. But often the use of the teacher or other adult allows Henderson to mediate between the child's perspective and her readership. These aren't children's stories, or even young adult stories. They're stories that seem to demand an adult awareness of the adult world — not adult knowledge, not sexual understanding, but an awareness of passing time and what it is to have lived for a certain amount of time and what it is to have grown up and out of a child's way of thinking.
There's also an awareness of how much damage even well-intentioned adults can cause to children. It's interesting, from the perspective of the twenty-first century, how easily it's accepted by the characters in the stories that teachers have a right to hit misbehaving children. More: Henderson depicts, in a way which seems to resonate with the way we think of the 1950s, the way in which teachers find themselves having to choose between on the one hand socialising children and encouraging them to fit in with society, and on the other fostering their imagination and individuality. She comes down heavily in favour of the second option. Most of the stories are about the power of youth, what children can do, and even about what their love for the adults in their lives can lead them to — about the almost-unreal strength of affection that children can have. And then about how adults may, with the best will in the world, betray that affection and unwittingly take away the power and individuality of a child's imagination.
Take "Come On, Wagon." It's a simple story: an uncle, who doesn't like children, sees his nephew appear to display psychic talents. A disaster happens. The child can't use his powers to save a life. Why? Here's how the story ends:
I knew as well as anything that once Thaddeus could have helped. Why couldn't he then, when the need was so urgent? Well, maybe he really had outgrown his strangeness. Or it might be that he actually couldn't do anything just because Clyde and I were grownups. Maybe if it had been another kid—
Sometimes my mind gets cold trying to figure it out. Especially when I get the answer that kids and grownups live in two worlds so alien and separate that the gap can't be bridged even to save a life. Whatever the answer is—I still don't like kids.
The story reads oddly like an answer to Jerome Bixby's "It's A Good Life" (which was, to fit with what I said before, famously adapted into a Twilight Zone episode), except Bixby's story was written two years later. In Bixby's story, a child with supernatural power is terrifying: just by being a child, and having the ability to do what he wants, he destroys the world and ruins the lives of the adults around him. Henderson's story takes the opposite perspective. By taking away the child's power, the adults set the stage for death. The same sort of thing happens in the last story of the book, "The Last Step," when a malevolent teacher interferes with boys playing in a schoolyard and thereby brings about her own destruction. Children's imagination is a kind of power that adults are responsible for fostering, not destroying; and, crucially, if adults do interfere with their children's imagination, they cause their own downfall.
On the whole, that's where the horrific enters in Henderson's writing: in imagination thwarted, in the everyday overcoming the numinous. The story "Walking Aunt Daid" is an interesting example, in part because there are no children in it — the narrator in fact is involved specifically because he's no longer a child.
There's a family, somewhere in the country, that has a strange old semi-catatonic and presumably senile aunt; the family's legend suggests that she's over a hundred and fifty years old, possibly much more. Once a generation she goes for a walk with a young man of the family, specifically not a woman, and not a child. The story is simply what the narrator sees when it's his turn to take her walking. And that is a moment in which it looks like the aunt is about to shuck off her mortal flesh and pass over to some kind of more spiritual realm. But the narrator's been told by his father to be sure to bring her back; so as the aunt ascends, he concentrates, and draws her again into the world, and instantly regrets it.
It's a basically gnostic horror story: the horror of a spiritual being locked away from spiritual joy by a cage of flesh. There's an interesting gender inversion here, though. Rather than what one often finds in a gnostic parable, women being the makers of the material shell that is the prison for a male visionary spirit, here the emphasis is on a man enforcing a woman's conformity with the ways of the world:
Fear melted my knees and they wouldn't straighten up again. I could feel terror knocking at my brain and I knew as soon as it could break through I'd go screaming up the hollow like a crazy man, squeezing the black dress like a rattlesnake in my hands. But I heard Pa saying, "Bring her back," and I thought, "All my grampas saw it too. All of them brought her back. It's happened before." And I crouched there, squinching my eyes tight shut, holding my breath, my fingers digging into my palms, clutching the dress.
The appearance of the numinous is frightening and implicitly emasculating, forcing the narrator to fall back on his patriarchal tradition, however much he regrets it afterward. Or: it reduces him to infancy, to childhood without imagination, squatting in the dark and hoping for a mother-figure to return. As with the best sf stories, "Walking Aunt Daid" touches the mythic, and can be read many ways.
There's another story, "Subcommittee," that seems to fuse the sensibility of a 1950s woman with Henderson's theme of the importance of children. In this story, aliens have appeared and attacked humanity; after a brutal war, the two sides are now trying to hammer out a peace treaty. Though apparently only the males are the actual diplomats, the aliens have brought their families to the negotiations, and so the humans have sent their whole families to the negotiations as well, although again it seems to be only men doing the actual talking. But the diplomacy's not going well. The humans can't figure out what the aliens want. The story's told from the perspective of the wife of one of the chief human negotiators, Serena. Her son uncovers a way into the alien quarters, where he starts playing with an alien child. Serena finds out, and follows him, and she connects with an alien female, mother to mother, while the males are getting nowhere in their own discussions. Serena realises what the aliens have come for, and the story revolves around her decision: tell her husband and the other official negotiators, risking war, or conversely risk war by allowing the negotiations to fail?
The title's amusing; the family is the subcommittee. Some of the smaller touches seem to bring out the implicit gender themes. The female alien has pink fur; Serena uses that fact, that colour, to prove her experience to the male negotiators, and indeed points to her slip — a specifically female garment — to illustrate to the aliens what she means by 'pink.' When asked how she came to realise what the aliens wanted, she says (accurately) that it's because she took eggs to a picnic. And the way through into the alien sector is by squeezing through a hole under a wall, which reads as an image of birth; so one must become as a child to make true contact with the aliens. It feels like a very 1950s image of femininity and gender roles, but it seems to me effective given its presumptions.
The story ends cleverly, for example. It's inconclusive in the broad sense of interstellar diplomacy; we don't know if war comes again. But that emphasises that that's not the point of the story. It's about Serena, and what she chooses to do; and how her child is able to bond with an alien child through universal childhood play, and then how she as a mother is therefore able to bond with an alien mother. There are certainly societal attitudes toward gender here very specific to the 1950s (or early 60s). But I can see decent cases being made for a range of readings of how Henderson plays with those attitudes. Again: the stories can be taken in a number of ways. They repay close attention, and careful consideration.
Overall, The Anything Box is a rewarding book. The stories are strong, each with some point worth thinking about, and overall a stronger sense of character than one expects from sf of the era — particularly a more realistic sense of childhood. Henderson's use of sf imagery to tell different kinds of stories, stories of teachers and mothers, is a kind of validation of the flexibility and range of that imagery: it shows how much can be done with it, and how much was being done. It's work well worth remembering.

Matthew, good article on Zenna Henderson. Brought back memories of her books which I haven't read in many years. I was especially a fan of Zenna's The People stories. I remember one of her themes was the tendency of humanity to destroy anything that was different. Her stories definitely made an impression on me and I still think about that theme even watching someone prune a hedge or tree, making everything the same length with no deviation allowed.
Until I saw the cover above for Ingathering, I wasn't aware all The People stories were compiled into one volume. I'll have to locate a copy and re-read those favorite stories.
Thanks again for featuring her.
That first cover brings back good memories. I need to track it down and reread it. Great review and memory prompt.

CBN MPC Raises MPR to 14% at the End of July 2022 MPC Meeting
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Nigeria has today concluded its two-day meeting in July 2022.
This meeting marks the fourth MPC meeting for the year 2022.
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at the end of today's meeting elected to further hike the MPR and retain other policy parameters
The decisions reached are as follows:
The benchmark interest rate (MPR) raised by 100bps to 14.00% from 13.00%
The asymmetric corridor remained at +100/-700 bps around the MPR
The cash reserve ratio retained at 27.50%; and
The Liquidity Ratio retained at 30.00%
It will be recalled that the MPC hiked the MPR at the end of its third meeting of the year in May 2022 to 13% from 11.50%

It is now possible to have "root" access on a virtual machine with a high-speed internet connection and a static IPv4 IP for under $24 a year. This kind of connection is called a "Virtual Private Server" (VPS). Since one is "root" on the system, one can have (within the memory, disk space, and bandwidth limitations) an unlimited number of web pages, email addresses, or any other internet service (as long as it follows the provider's terms of service).
They use a type of virtual machine called an OpenVZ virtual machine. The Wikipedia has a good description; to summarize, an OpenVZ guest must run Linux.
To manage the server, they usually use a "web panel" interface called SolusVM. This allows one to reset the root password, "format and reinstall" the Linux distribution used, and keep an eye on one's memory, disk usage, and network quota.
There are four relevant numbers that an OpenVZ account has: Its normal memory usage, its "burst" memory usage (which I will explain below), its hard disk space, and its monthly bandwidth.
One thing to be careful of is that most companies offering $20-a-year plans are new companies and may not last. Another issue is that these kinds of offers are usually only offered by new providers to get their name out there.
One place to look for these providers is at a website called WHT, or at BudgetVPS (who have a special link for plans that cost $2 a month or less).
AlienVPS' "Abduction" plan. 19 gigabytes hard disk, 192 megabytes of memory, 190 gigabytes of bandwidth a month, for $19 a year. Available at Las Vegas and New York.
FEhosting. 35 gigabytes of hard disk space, 256 megabytes of memory (512 megabytes burst), 500 gigabytes a month of transfer for $20 a year.
All providers provide a single IP; extra IPs cost more.
"Burst" memory usage is memory that can be allocated, but, if the server as a whole is low on memory, processes may be killed if more memory is being used than one's "normal" memory usage.
Here, we can see buffers being used, as well as cache and swap.
On an OpenVZ guest, memory usage is seen with free, disk usage is seen with df, and network usage can be seen with ifconfig (presumably, the ifconfig number is reset whenever the system is "rebooted", so it may not be an accurate number).
It is amazing how technology has made getting an internet presence very, very affordable.
Errata: BuyVM does intend to sell ultra-low-cost plans again; this article implied otherwise and has since been corrected.

Qatar launches region's first sportstech accelerator
Posted on October 22, 2018 - Like & Follow Us Follow @MENAbytes
Qatar has announced the launch of Qatar SportsTech, the first acceleration program of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa that aims to attract the most promising SportsTech startups from the world and help them grow their product and business.
The Doha-based accelerator has been launched by Qatar Development Bank with Aspire Zone Foundation, Ministry of Economy and Commerce, and Qatar Financial Centre as partners. The program will be run and managed by Startupbootcamp, a global network of industry-focused startup accelerators that is managing one program in the region, the Startupbootcamp Smart City Dubai.
Commencing in Doha in February 2019, Qatar SportsTech is accepting applications now from all around the world. The accelerator is looking for early-stage startups from the sportstech industry that have a prototype at least. The startups eligible to apply may or may not have received their first funding round and they could be from one of the following fields:
Team Performance and Analytics
Venue Optimization and Management
Fan Engagement & Experience
Sports Culture
Sports Hardware, Tools & Equipment
Sports Medical
Qatar SportsTech will invite the 20 shortlisted startups to Doha, but, according to the FAQs on their website, they won't cover the flights or accommodation – teams will have to take care of it by themselves. The accelerator will then select 10 startups from the 20 on Selection Day – who will join the the three-month program and receive 15,000 EUR (a little more than $17,000) as grant – the money that should easily cover their flights and accommodation.
The accelerator program will take 6% equity in the startup and offer them direct access to partners like Aspire Zone, Qatar Development Bank and the World Cup Committee 2022 and many more. The selected startups will also receive mentorship and advice from Startupbootcamp's global network of entrepreneurs, experts & investors, and free office space with prototype testlabs for the entire three months.
The key partners of the program provide expertise, exposure, APIs and complete access to their network of industry professionals from around the world – and with Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup, these partners are the biggest highlight of the program.
Over the next three years, the SportsTech accelerator will host a total of four 3-month accelerators. For each program, the 10 most promising SportsTech startups from around the world will be selected.

Review: Logan, The Wolverine Film We've been Waiting for
This Review will contain NO spoilers of Logan
Logan was an immaculate exercise in precision character focus forged by tragic development and intense emotion. Some call comic book movies, super hero films, and some of them are, but comics aren't always about a hero saving the world. These are complex characters with long histories of meticulous development. When the core of these characters are ignored in favor of special effects and display of power, we often end up with a disaster, or movies that don't quite feel real to us. Logan doesn't do that. Logan takes the correct path of dissecting who Wolverine is as a character and gives us a feature length film exploring that.
The movie is set in the year 2029. The X-men are gone. All that remains is Wolverine, Caliban, and a sickly Charles Xavier, so far as we know. With this set up, the film is already setting it self apart from the rest of the X-universe. That was the first good move. The second is introducing the conflict created by his age and a younger version of himself, a female clone, that we know from the comics as X-23, or Laura Kinney. The movie takes references the pages of our favorite comics, but does not stunt itself by trying to follow too closely to any one storyline. Instead, it creates its own setting, and it's own world without fear of conflicting continuity since the other X-men movies are set in the past (relative to our time) an this one is set in the future.
The world is a dusting dwelling of depression. This can be attributed to the state of the world, or perhaps to the state of Logan's life. He's old. Very old. He's seen a lot. He's watched the people around him die and he's tired. His attitude toward life is that which begs for silence and solitude. He doesn't want trouble. He doesn't want conflict, but of course, it finds him anyways. The way he handles it speaks volumes to his character, and in some instances it can summon a litany of feelings in the watching audience- happiness, sadness, pity, drear, and so much more. The film runs on pure emotion, which is a powerful concept in itself given that both Logan and Laura are so dismissive of their feelings. I guarantee that of any movie based on the X-men or characters surrounding them, this is the most emotionally moving to date.
Another thing I want to mention is that this isn't a bridge film. That's a trap that a lot of major films, especially comic book films, find themselves falling into. They create a movie so that it can link to another movie and fail at making the movie great as a standalone that nothing came before, and doesn't need to be followed up after. This is an self-encompassing standalone movie. As much as I love X-23, and want to see her more in the future, she doesn't need to be. This has a start, a middle and an end that doesn't leave us with questions wanting to be answered in future films, and I appreciate it for that.
I can't rate Logan among super hero films, because it isn't about being a hero. It's not even about mutants, not really. It's about a man reflecting on his long arduous life with the help of an old man and a daughter (clone) he didn't know he had. I can't really even rate it among X-men movies. I can rate it among comic book movies however, and it easily would make the top 5 list. It's that good. If you've read my writing before, I said a million times- characterization is key. If you want to make a good movie, remember that these are people we want to care about first, before they are mutants, metahumans, heroes, or whatever else, and that focus, above anything else, is what makes Logan, a grade A movie.
Thank you, Hugh Jackman, for being the Wolverine that the character deserves.

Things to do in Aberdeen
Theatre in Aberdeen
With three excellent theatres, Aberdeen truly punches above its weight when it comes to performances, plays, musicals and more.
His Majesty's Theatre
His Majesty's Theatre is not only the leading theatre in Aberdeen but one of the most prestigious in Scotland, having had names like Sir Sean Connery, Sir Ian McKellan and Queen's Brian May gracing the stage.
Opened in 1906, it underwent a huge redevelopment in 2006 incorporating a beautiful glass-fronted box office to go with the Edwardian design. Described by Scottish comedian Sir Billy Connolly as like playing a 'gig inside a wedding cake,' the theatre was designed by renowned architect Frank Matcham and holds up to 1,400 people. With a popular programme of events spanning plays, musicals, comedy and live music, it's one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city, with events taking place most nights of the week.
Our video guide to Aberdeen theatre
The Tivoli Theatre is another impressive venue in the city centre, next to Union Square. Dating back to 1872, it's opened and closed several times and been a bingo hall during its long history. After a refurb in 2013 though, it is once more an all-singing and all-dancing theatre putting on an impressive range of operas, plays, musicals and stand-up comedy.
One of Scotland's most notable buildings, the interior is stunning, with impressive frescoes, colonnades and arches – and thanks to a major recent refurbishment, it's fully up to modern 21st-century standards. The theatre has attracted big names during its time, including George Formby, WC Fields, Ed Byrne and Stewart Lee, and is once again a shining beacon in Aberdeen's theatre scene.
ACT Aberdeen
Finally, there's ACT Aberdeen, a 350-capacity two-level theatre that puts on a wide range of event,s including a mix of professional and amateur productions, youth group dramas, musicals and plays. On top of that, ACT also has an exhibition space which showcases work from local artists.

CREST is committed to investigating and facilitating social and psychological transformation. What better place to start than the youngest members of our society. It is estimated that around 1 in 10 young people in the UK experience significant psychological distress. Members of CREST are involved in several areas of research that aim to help young people to achieve greater wellbeing (see Current research projects, below) and are co-authors on a major new text on the process and outcomes of counselling with children and young people (see Key publications).
CREST research activity is motivated by a desire to find out more about the best ways of helping young people who are having problems to grow into confident and fulfilled adults. Partly, this is about findings out what adults – therapists and others – need to provide. But this is also about discovering what young people are already doing for themselves, and building on these resources. When it comes to what is effective, we also want to find out how and why certain therapies, or self-help process are helping, and how these might be improved. As a team, we use a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods to answer these questions. Through this research and evaluation, members of CREST have had a significant impact on UK policy and practice regarding mental health interventions for young people.

Where do people even find mentors?
first time i read this i thought it said "Meteors." makes more sense the way it is though.
I mean, no, this isn't what a mentor is. Mentors are people who are in a higher position than their mentees. That may be due to superior knowledge/wisdom/experience, higher rank, superior skill, etc. The whole point is that this is a person who is able to pull you up to their level, not push you up. It also typically implies that the mentor is older than the mentee, or that they've been around longer (in whatever the context is). Hell, an apprentice can see more in their master than the master seems in him or herself, but that doesn't make the apprentice a mentor to their master.
So literally anyone off the street. Sounds easy.
