No, the CDC did not 'quietly adjust' US coronavirus deaths
President Donald Trump retweeted multiple posts that falsely claimed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decreased the number of U.S. coronavirus deaths to 9,210.
Those posts misconstrue data from the CDC, which shows that the vast majority of coronavirus-related deaths occur in patients who have comorbidities like influenza or pneumonia.
As of Aug. 31, the CDC reported that 182,622 Americans have died since the start of the pandemic. Some estimates put the death toll even higher.
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump shared two posts that falsely claimed COVID-19 deaths are not as high as previously thought.
The posts claimed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its COVID-19 death numbers to show that only 9,210 Americans have died from the virus. Twitter removed the first tweet for violating its rules. Another post from Jenna Ellis, a senior legal adviser for the Trump campaign, linked to a story from the Gateway Pundit, a conservative news site. That tweet was still up as of publication.
The tweets misconstrue federal data on COVID-19 victims.
As of Aug. 31, the CDC reported that 182,622 Americans have died since the start of the pandemic — and some estimates put the death toll even higher. The agency told us that the vast majority of deaths involving COVID-19 can be attributed to the virus.
Claims that the CDC adjusted its COVID-19 death numbers appear to have originated on Facebook before making their way to Trump's Twitter feed, according to VineSight, an organization that uses artificial intelligence to surface potential misinformation. Several posts have been shared thousands of times.

"CDC just backpedaled (quietly) and adjusted the US Covid deaths from 153,504 to 9,210," said Amiri King, a social media influencer and CBD salesman, in an Aug. 31 post that shows a screenshot of King's tweet, which was also deleted. "Admitting that their numbers were so f---ed that they were off by a whopping 94%."
The posts were flagged as part of Facebook's efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
Posts misconstrue CDC data
The social media posts trace back to an Aug. 26 update from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), which is part of the CDC. The report is updated every Wednesday and outlines provisional death counts for COVID-19.
In his post, King cited an older version of a data table about deaths from COVID-19 in combination with other conditions, such as pneumonia and influenza.
In a section titled "Comorbidities," the NCHS wrote: "For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death."
That data comes from death certificates.
King cited an older version of the NCHS report that analyzed 153,504 deaths involving COVID-19. Six percent of that figure is 9,210.
To some readers, the report may appear to confirm his math. But it doesn't.

In medicine, comorbidities are conditions that patients experience in tandem with a primary condition. According to the CDC, people with preexisting conditions like cancer and diabetes are more at risk of death if they contract the coronavirus.
The NCHS report shows that the vast majority of coronavirus-related deaths occur in patients with comorbidities. But that doesn't mean COVID-19 wasn't a factor.
"A small number of people have COVID ascribed as the sole cause of death. It may be they had no comorbidities or they were just not noted," said Dr. Myron Cohen, director of the Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "However, it is also clear that advanced age and several other underlying diseases lead to bad outcomes with COVID infections. The people dying were not going to die but for the acquisition of COVID."
In a Facebook post addressing claims about the NCHS report, Dr. Mark Halstead, an associate professor of orthopedic surgery and pediatrics at Washington University, broke down how conditions are listed on a patient's death certificate.
RELATED: Don't trust this comparison of daily coronavirus deaths with other diseases
"So, let's say someone was admitted to the hospital because of symptoms of COVID. They test positive, so COVID would be listed," Halstead said in the post. "Their case progressed where they developed respiratory failure and now are on a ventilator. Respiratory failure can be listed."
Additional conditions may be listed on a patient's death certificate during the course of their stay in the hospital. For example, if a COVID-19 patient ended up dying from cardiac arrest, that could also be included.
"So now three things are listed on their death certificate," Halstead wrote. "The COVID infection started the process but that led to the heart and lungs failing, which killed that person."
Jeff Lancashire, acting associate director for communications at the NCHS, told us in an email that while 94% of death certificates that mention COVID-19 also listed other conditions, the underlying cause of death was COVID-19 in almost all of them.
"The underlying cause of death is the condition that began the chain of events that ultimately led to the person's death," he said. "In 92% of all deaths that mention COVID-19, COVID-19 is listed as the underlying cause of death."
We reached out to King for a comment, but we haven't heard back.
A Facebook post claimed that the CDC decreased the number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. from 153,504 to 9,210.
That's wrong. As of Aug. 31, the CDC counted 182,622 Americans who had died because of the coronavirus.
A NCHS report found that, for about 6% of Americans who die from the virus, COVID-19 is the only condition listed on their death certificates. But that doesn't mean the remaining 94% didn't die due to the coronavirus.
People with preexisting conditions, such as cancer or diabetes, have a higher risk of dying if they contract COVID-19. Complications from those conditions, as well as comorbidities like influenza and pneumonia, can be listed in addition to the coronavirus on death certificates. In 92% of death certificates that mention the virus, COVID-19 was the underlying cause of death, according to the NCHS.
The Facebook post is inaccurate and makes a ridiculous claim. We rate it Pants on Fire.

Q: Making a specific root folder accessible to user I am using virtual box with ubuntu as the guest, which has a feature to share a folder between the host and guest, which is located for the guest in the media folder under root.
It is quite troublesome to sudo every time to perform any action on it. I respect sudo and would like to keep root away from the user, however, is there a way to give user access to a particular root folder without sudo'ing' all the time?

A: You can use chown to change ownership of a folder. For example, sudo chown stephen /media.
That being said, I think you can also mount the shared folder in your own home directory as well.

A: Open a terminal and run sudo chown -cR $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /path/to/folder.

A: In this case chown does not allow a particular user to take ownership since the virtual box shared folders falls under a particular user group (made by vbox) and I found the details here, with the solution

The American actor and musician talks about his new film The Kill Team, and taking Alexander Skarsgård to his first Hanukkah…

Nat Wolff, the American actor and musician, has been a household name for Gen Z-ers ever since his humble beginnings on The Naked Brothers' Band, with brother Alex of Hereditary fame, way back in 2005. Avoiding the fate of so many child stars before him, Wolff has aged with exceptional grace and an uncompromisable desire to give meaning to the roles he takes.
A coming of age darling, the Californian native's prolific teen movie career began for many of us in the moody suburbs of Gia Coppola's directorial debut Palo Alto. Wolff has since gone on to star in many of the genre's other high profile offerings, such as tearjerker The Fault In Our Stars and John Green's second book-to-film adaptation, Paper Towns, where he delivers a strong performance as the Cara Delevingne infatuated "Q".
For his latest role in A24's The Kill Team, Wolff ditches the angst and euphoria of high school to serve his country in the barren war zones of Afghanistan. Starring alongside Alexander Skarsgård, Wolff plays Private Adam Whinfield, a 21 year old soldier stationed near Kandahar, who with the help of his father, attempts to uncover a series of horrific war crimes perpetrated by the members of his division during their occupation of the Middle East. The film is a cautious look at the injustices of power rife in the military, it's release coming at a more poignant time than ever with whistleblower Chelsea Manning still facing indefinite detention for refusing to testify against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Manning was pardoned by Barack Obama in 2012 after leaking 700,000 classified military files to the political news website.
With gritty prison drama Semper Fi also out this month, we sat down with the actor to talk about getting into character, breaking his brother out of a cell, and where he's taking his career next…
Jacket MORSE, shirt DAVID HART, tank HANES, pants CALVIN LOU, shoes GOLA, necklace and ring PATTARAPHAN.
It feels like we've witnessed a 360 with your career, you started with high school rom-coms and now The Kill Team, what's been the main reason behind this?
I feel like it's been a somewhat natural progression just from being a high schooler. I started really working in film when I was 16/17, those were really the roles that were available, and also that was probably closer to where my heart was then. After a certain amount of time 'coming of age', I had to stop coming of age and start being somebody in a particular situation.
Do you feel more in your skin with the things you're doing now or do you feel more challenged?
I felt a certain degree of challenge every step of the way, but what I would say now is that I've played enough teen romance roles where if I were to do that again not only would it not be challenging anymore, I think I would look a little out of place. But also, in terms of The Kill Team, I did feel like it was probably the most important movie that I had ever been a part of, pretty much due to the fact its about telling the truth under difficult circumstances and I feel like in the current climate we're in that's incredibly important.
Is that what drew you to the role? We've noticed a lot of your upcoming roles are based around military service, can you tell us why that is?
I did feel like I had an opportunity as an actor that I was so lucky to get these opportunities with Paper Towns and The Fault In Our Stars. In a way the world has changed since I made those films and even I've changed in how I view making art. In that I think I've been drawn to things that hopefully can move conversations forward, and it seems something like The Kill Team is more in that ballpark. But also in doing research for these roles, I didn't think I could have more respect for the people who serve. Just to play army in a movie is hard, you can't imagine what its like in reality.
How did you train for the films – it's obviously very emotionally gruelling – what was the most challenging aspect?
Luckily my character was sort of the scrawny one, so I didn't have to put on a bunch of weight or anything. But just the two weeks of training we did was super intense, psychologically it was pretty draining. I spent a little time with Adam, whom my character is based off, and stayed with him in Seattle. I already would have felt some responsibility but especially from meeting him I felt a real responsibility to go as deep as I could into that world. His story is really upsetting, because he got to a point where he did compromise some of his morals, because he had to. That's a really hard thing to live with, and getting to spend time with him, he's a really complicated guy.
How was it starring against opposite Alexander Skarsgård? He looks absolutely terrifying in the film.
He's absolutely terrifying in real life. I'm kidding. You know, he's such a nice guy, actually after the movie I brought him to his first Hanukkah. So if he converts to Judaism, I'll take credit. I think he's really such a great actor and also he's so physically imposing, he's so tall that I think it does some of the work for me.
Moving on to Semper Fi, it looks like a super gritty, gruelling film to be a part of. You have this insane bond with your brother in the film, would you break yours out of prison, and vice versa?
Yeah, I mean the truth is I have, many times. Alex gets into trouble a lot and I've had to break him out, you know it's almost like a weekly call that I get. The prison guards are kind of used to him, they leave the door open and I let him out.

What kind of roles do you think you're gravitating to now? Is there anything you haven't explored yet, like horror, or even just complex character studies?
I think I'm drawn to characters that are many different things, and I think one of the traps of modern movie making, and most of the scripts I read, is that characters serve functions in plots, but people don't serve functions. People are vast. It's very disheartening to play those kinds of characters. So, I'm trying to push to characters that have a lot of levels, and also in stories that have something to say. That doesn't mean I'm looking for movies too hip or cutting edge, I think sometimes the simpler is more impactful.
What character have you portrayed so far that you feel like you've related to the most?
I think in all of them I find different aspects of myself and it's like turning up a dial and turning down a dial, you know? Levels. I just did this movie with Gia Coppola, it's her second movie, and she's doing it with Andrew Garfield. I play this romantic-artist-environmentalist, and I did feel like even if I wasn't that character, I didn't want to leave that character. He was such a good guy; he was somebody that I aspire to be because he's so true to himself and his morals. That's like the vastness of everyone; I think I'm just starting to learn about myself, which is helping me as an actor.
Back to your brother, you're both very active and getting established on the film scene, is there ever an element of competition?
Alex and I are like each other's biggest fans and supporters. So if it comes to it, there's no one that either of us would rather see get the part, and its not just because he's my brother, its because he's an incredible actor. There's definitely an element of competition in the business that we'll both be like, "FUCK! Why didn't we get that part?" But if one of us gets it, we're happy. We still play music together and we just put out a couple new songs and we still have some more coming out…
Is it something you both would ever pursue full time?
Yeah, I mean I think right now, any time we're not working on a film project; we're working on music. But the hardest part is playing shows, just scheduling is such a bitch. When you're recording its easier to just change recording dates, but if everybody buys tickets to something… you know. If somebody has to go do a couple of days in a movie or something like that it just totally screws up. But I mean we're working on it, the iPhone calendar has helped.
It feels like you're really getting to do the roles you want to do now, if we were to ask you what your five-year goal was what would you say?
I guess my five-year goal, and my goal in my career in general, is to have a career that reflects who I am and how I feel and what I'm trying to put into the world. I do have a real aversion to being part of anything that is going to be part of the ick of the culture. I want to be part of the antidote, I think films like The Kill Team especially, and Semper Fi where I really got to dig in into a character and a story that had something to say, I feel proud of it. I feel proud of those movies.
As an actor it's really difficult to be in the driving seat of your career. There are a lot of factors, but as much as you can its definitely important, I think, to push yourself to not take the easy money and try to fight for roles that mean something to you. I feel like if anything is really personal and it means something to you, it will start to mean stuff to the audience. I also want to continue playing music with Alex. I got to direct for the first time this year, which was a really great learning experience. I did a short film where I cast my girlfriends little sister who's seven years old, she had never acted before and she's brilliant. I guess in my five-year plan, I want to start pursuing that more.

Spekking doesn't only have orders delivered by an external transport company, but also runs its own delivery service. Some packages don't weigh much, but are quite big (large volume). And it's not only the weight that determines the costs for transport - the volume plays a role as well. Regular transporters usually charge an expensive pallet rate for volume freight. We calculate the delivery costs based only on weight, not on volume. This allows you to avoid high delivery charges.

Ever wondered what would happen if classical musicians played rock songs as rock artists, going nuts and jumping all over the place? Yes, I thought not ... anyway witness something I expect you've never seen before.


The Anatomy of Peace is a deeply insightful book about how our default thinking processes lead us to conflict with others and reveals a path towards peace.
Our relationships with others form the foundation of our reality. Sadly, we are habituated on twisting and distorting our "reality" of these relationships to protect our ego. The net result is that we are the authors of much of the conflict in out lives.
Consider the visual summary below that illustrates a model for understanding communication and understanding reality.
Every relationship can either be approached with either a heart of peace or a heart of war.
When we have a heart of peace, we see the other person or group as a unique and valuable human being. We see them as a person – we recognize their humanity. We acknowledge that they have their own consciousness and life.
When we have a heart of war, we see others as objects, as things. We no longer value or treat them as human. Of course, we don't intentionally choose to do this. This happens inadvertently when our mind protects our feelings. Psychologically, we create a self-deception that comforts us in the face of emotional challenge.
Most of the problems in the world are related with our way of being with others (peace or war).
The book describes four forms of self-deception. With each one we create a mental box that we trap ourselves in. Each box colours what we see and experience. The box provides psychological safety, so it takes courage to examine it and rebuild relationships in our lives.
When people are in a better-than mental box, they see themselves as superior to others. They think they are more important and that their cause or arguement is the most virtuous one. They look down on others as inferior and flawed. This has been my main "go-to" box for most of my life.
People in a worse-than box, see themselves as flawed and inferior to others. They see themselves as deficient and fated to have negative outcomes. They see the world as a hard and difficult place with others being the lucky ones.
People in this box crave attention and feel like they are being watched and judged. They need to be thought well of and will work hard to fit in. Extreme clinical expression of this is Histrionic personality disorder. This is my second go-to box for twisting reality to feel good about myself.
The self-deceptions we chose depend on the person we are with and the context. Over the course of a week, we may at some point fall into each of these mental boxes. From a learning and growth perspective it is valuable to note what boxes we commonly go to across people and contexts.
An interesting question is how this work relates to Brene Brown's research on shame. Since a key element of shame is that people feel like they are unworthy of love and belonging, this would fall right in the worse-than box. That's just the start, in my own experience, shame also activates other boxes to mitigate the pain.
We need to be in a Heart of Peace to express empathy or compassion for another person. To the extent that we are trapped in a box we will not be available to express empathy to another person.
It turns out that "normal" human behaviour can trigger a downward spiral of negativity where two people collude to stay in their boxes. It starts when one person, A, sees B do something and interprets it from their box. A passes judgement on B and then acts in kind. B sees A's action and interprets it from their box. They think of A as an object and act in a way that treats A as an object. And the cycle continues and feeds on itself. At any time A or B can break the cycle by going to a heart of peace and seeing the other as a valuable human being. A good way to break the cycle is by noticing what box you are in and then using your imagination and desire for a positive outcome to make a different choice of action.
Be kind to yourself. All of us have these problems and you are working on it. Good job.
Go to a mental place where you are more resourceful. This could be a walk outside, stretching, meditating, listening to music, etc.
See how your thoughts and behaviours contributed to the situation.
Seek to see the humanity in the other person – imagine why a responsible, resourceful human being would behave that way.
Start the conversation again, but this time from your heart – think about what you really want in the relationship. See: Crucial Conversations.
I would like to than Jukka Lindström for introducing me to the book – he said it was one of the most influential books he has read in the last few years. I have to agree. I would also like to thank and acknowledge the Arbinger Institute for collaboratively creating such a wonderful book.


In July '06, we finally went to work on our too-large waistlines. We learned about the guidelines suggested by Michel Montignac for food combinations. The theory is based on food-insulin stimulation and the how carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are metabolised. The guidelines are to avoid those foods in the first column (except for special treats) and use ingredients from either column A or column B, and combine them only with those in column C.
In July, 2006, we decided initially to give this a go for 6 weeks or so to see how it worked for us. It rather quickly had some desired results. We found that, mostly we don't eat different foods but instead changed the way we combine them together in each meal or snack. We had to give up a few favorites like macaroni and cheese, etc., but the results have been worth it so we're sticking with it - albeit allowing ourselves a few deviations as seem warranted.
Make stir fries or other meat dishes and serve with salad and extra veggies instead of rice, pasta, potatoes, etc.
For a snack, try serving cheese slivers on apple slices, celery, or zucchini instead of crackers.
Wrap a hamburger in a lettuce leaf instead of a bun.
Make meat-filled wraps using romaine lettuce leaves.
Make pizza on thick slices of eggplant.
Make lasagna with thin slices of sauteed eggplant or zucchini.
Make your own mayonnaise from 1 cup canola oil, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 egg and salt and pepper.

Welsh waters and coastline are really amazing, and it's not just Welsh people who are saying it! There's plenty of it, too, because Wales has a staggering 2,740 km (1,702 miles) of coastline, including offshore islands, dramatic cliffs, secluded sandy beaches and rock pools to explore. All provide a spectacular backdrop for a range of leisure activities and watersports.
Welsh seas are widely recognised as being important, with 37% of the marine environment and 75% of the coastline protected under European legislation, and it is recognised as being of both national and European importance - although the extent of the protection is, to say the least, patchy. Protection for underwater sites falls well short of providing full protection that these amazing places and the wildlife that lives in them needs.
As well as being inadequately protected, these sites don't necessarily contain all the Welsh marine wildlife that needs protecting. A Wales Environment Link report indentified that 4% of nationally important species are only found outside of the existing protected sites.
Wales occupies a very unique position, it's on the boundary of three oceanic and climatic zones (North‐east Atlantic, Arctic Boreal, Lusitanian) and has one of the largest tidal ranges in the world! Those factors combine to make the marine wildlife off Wales more diverse than many other places in Europe.
2018 is the Year of the Sea and there's so much to see. Wales has heaps of different types of seabed habitat, which provide ideal conditions for a huge variety of species. The sea around the country provides the perfect homes for some of our favourite marine wildlife such as seals, dolphins, porpoises, sharks, jellyfish and many more. So, get out and enjoy the wonderful places to see in Wales.

Η Porsche παρουσίασε τα χρώματα της φετινής 919 Hybrid [w/video]
Η Porsche παρουσίασε τα χρώματα της φετινής 919 Hybrid που θα βαμμένη σε μαύρο/άσπρο, άσπρο/μαύρο και κόκκινο/άσπρο, με το τελευταίο να εμπνέεται από την θρυλική 917ΚΗ. Η φετινή 919 Hybrid ζυγίζει λιγότερο, έχει βελτιωμένη ακαμψία και αεροδυναμική.
Συνεχίζει να φορά το ίδιο καινοτόμο drivetrain που αποτελείται από έναν υπερτροφοδοτούμενο, δίλιτρο, V4 βενζινοκινητήρα 500+ ίππων, έναν ηλεκτροκινητήρα που κινεί τους τροχούς του μπροστά άξονα και δύο συστήματα ανάκτησης ενέργειας. Το σύστημα ενέργειας πλέον είναι 8 MJ και παράγει μέχρι και 400 άλογα, με την ενέργεια που ανακτάται να αποθηκεύεται στις υδρόψυκτες μπαταρίες ιόντων-λιθίου. Η Audi έχει σύστημα 4 MJ, με την Toyota να επιλέγει σύστημα 6 MJ και τη Nissan σύστημα 2 MJ. Ο πρώτος αγώνας του World Endurance Championship θα διεξαχθεί στο Silverstone της Αγγλίας, στις 12 Απριλίου.
Στις σχετικές ειδήσεις, η Porsche SE ανακοίνωσε πως το περιφερειακό δικαστήριο της Στουτγάρδης απέρριψε την αγωγή αποζημίωσης που είχε καταθέσει εναντίων της, ένα αμερικάνικο fund, που ζητούσε αποζημίωση ύψους 1,2 δισ. ευρώ, λόγω της ιστορίας με την αποτυχημένη εξαγορά της VW από τη Porsche το 2008. Η Porsche SE δήλωσε δικαιωμένη από την απόφαση του δικαστηρίου. Είναι η πέμπτη συνεχόμενη φορά που δικαστήριο απορρίπτει αξιώσεις των funds που ζητούν αποζημιώσεις από την Porsche SE επειδή έχασαν χρήματα, λόγω του φιάσκου της αποτυχημένης εξαγοράς της VW από τη Porsche.

Porsche reveals their new livery for the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2015, Car No.17 Here!
FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) LMP1 presentation
2015 Porsche 919 Hybrid – proven base was extensively optimised
Suttgart. At the Paul Ricard Circuit in France today, Porsche presented the second generation of its Le Mans Prototype 919 Hybrid race car as a technical evolution in a three-colour concept. Porsche also confirmed it will switch to the highest of the four energy categories in the LMP1 class. The performance of the energy recovery system was able to be increased by around one-third as compared to 2014. This means the 919 Hybrid is competitive to race in the 8-megajoule category. The new revolutionary WEC regulations, which went into effect in 2014, call for the use of powerful and innovative hybrid drive systems – and this was actually the main reason why Porsche decided to return to the world of top-level motor racing.
The Porsche team will use two of its extensively further developed technology platforms in all eight races of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). The cars will be white and will also carry the "Porsche Intelligent Performance" motto on their bodywork. This also applies to the team's third 919 Hybrid, which will race at Spa-Francorchamps on May 2. However, for the high point of the season – the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 13–14, 2015 – the team will send a white, a black and a red Porsche 919 Hybrid onto the circuit.
Wolfgang Hatz, board member for research and development at Porsche AG, stated the following at the presentation of the LMP1 prototypes in southern France: "The LMP1 programme at Porsche focuses on extensively networked cooperation between the engineers who work on our innovative drive system concept." The WEC regulations are designed to ensure that the most efficient car wins. The automotive industry in general must adopt exactly this approach to remain viable. Porsche already offers three plug-in hybrid production sports cars today. "This sets us apart from the competition and we plan to grow even stronger in this segment," said Hatz. "To this end, we need substantial expertise within the company. The tremendous pressure to perform in the top LMP1 category means our development specialists for production cars learn a lot in a very short time. On the other hand, young engineers receive top-quality training at turbo speed, and this knowledge can later be applied very effectively in series production. Learning from the race track for everyday roads is a tradition at Porsche. Therefore it makes perfect sense to create at least a partial link between our Le Mans prototypes and our motor racing history by means of the colours we use."
The starting number and colour of the red prototype are a tribute to the Porsche that captured the first of what are now a total of 16 overall victories for the brand in Le Mans in 1970. No other brand has claimed so many victories in what is believed to be the world's most demanding endurance race. The base colour of the Porsche 917 KH ("short-tail") in "Salzburg Design" that won the race 45 years ago on June 14, 1970 was also red. The winning drivers then were Hans Herrmann from Germany, who is now 87, and Richard Attwood from the UK, who is 74 today. In 2015, at the 83rd running of the classic race at Le Mans, the red prototype with starting number 17 will be driven by Timo Bernhard, 34 (Germany), Brendon Hartley, 25 (New Zealand) and Mark Webber, 38 (Australia).
The black LMP1 with starting number 18 is a symbol of the close technical kinship between the Porsche 919 Hybrid racing car and the Porsche 918 Spyder super sports car, which is also equipped with a hybrid drive. It was also a black 918 that on September 4, 2013 set a new record for a street-legal production sports car by completing a lap of more than 20 kilometres on the North Loop of the Nürburgring in six minutes and 57 seconds. The record-setting driver here was Marc Lieb, 34, from Germany. Lieb will also drive the black 919 in Le Mans this year – together with Romain Dumas, 37, (France) and Neel Jani, 31 (Switzerland).
The team's third car – the white 919 Hybrid with starting number 19 – will be competing in Le Mans in the colour Porsche chose for its return to top-notch racing after a 16-year absence. White, which is a traditional colour for racing cars from Germany, will also be used with the two Porsche 911 RSR factory cars that will race in the GTE Pro Class. In Le Mans, the third 919 will be driven by Earl Bamber, 24 (New Zealand), F 1 driver Nico Hülkenberg, 27 (Germany) and Nick Tandy, 30 (UK).
Evolution of the 919: more efficient, more rigid, easier to handle, lighter and more robust
Although the basic concept of the Class 1 Le Mans Prototype (LMP1) was retained in the second generation, virtually every component was refined. The ambitious goals for the next evolutionary stage were to make the vehicle more efficient, more rigid, easier to handle, lighter and yet more robust.
The 919 is equipped with a 2-litre V4 turbocharged petrol engine with an output of more than 500 hp, which powers the rear axle, and an electric motor with over 400 hp that drives the front wheels and gets its electricity from two energy-recovery systems. A liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery temporarily stores converted braking energy from the front axle as well as converted exhaust-gas energy. The reworked drive system is more powerful and more efficient than before. The Porsche 919 Hybrid was homologated for the top energy-recovery category (8 megajoules for one lap in Le Mans) for the first time in 2015.
The vehicle's lower weight and improved overall rigidity, as well as optimisations made to the suspension and aerodynamics, improved the handling of the endurance racing car. Despite the significant weight reductions, the engineers were still able to make certain key components more robust.
The 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) begins on April 12
Following the so-called Prologue – the test that will be conducted with the entire WEC field on March 27 and 28 at the Paul Ricard Circuit (FRA) – the 2015 WEC will kick off on April 12 in Silverstone (GBR). All WEC races, with the exception of Le Mans, will have a duration of six hours. The championship will move to Spa (BEL) on May 2 and Le Mans (FRA) on June 13–14. The race at the Nürburgring (DEU) on August 30 is a new addition to the WEC, which will then leave Europe and head to Austin, Texas (USA) for a race on September 19. The next two races will be held in Fuji (JPN) on October 11 and Shanghai (CHN) on November 1. The finale will take place in Bahrain on November 21.
The racing team led by Fritz Enzinger (AUT), Vice President LMP1, is based at the Porsche research and development centre in Weissach, and has more than 230 employees. Well over a hundred of them are engineers who work for Technical Director Alexander Hitzinger (DEU). Team Director Andreas Seidl (DEU) handles all operational issues. "Everyone in the team is looking forward excitedly to our second season," said Enzinger. "We drove the new Porsche 919 Hybrid over a total of 26,675 lonely test kilometres at four different race tracks. Now, we're very much looking forward to meeting the entire FIA WEC field during the prologue here at Paul Ricard."
Note: The complete press kit that describes the technical development of the Porsche 919 Hybrid, and which also includes driver portraits, team-manager profiles and an extensive range of additional information, is available in PDF format from the Porsche press database: https://presse.porsche.de. Photographs and video material are also available at the website.
Higher Regional Court of Stuttgart dismisses action for billions brought by US hedge funds
Porsche SE's legal opinion also vindicated by court of appeal
Stuttgart,26 March 2015. The Higher Regional Court of Stuttgart today dismissed a claim for damages against Porsche Automobil Holding SE, Stuttgart, (Porsche SE). The US-American plaintiffs had asserted claims for damages of about 1.2 billion euro from alleged short selling as well as swaps and options relating to ordinary shares in Volkswagen AG in 2008 (ref. no. 28 O 183/13). Porsche SE sees this judgment as vindicating its legal opinion.
This first judgment of an appeal court represents another important victory for Porsche SE: Following the dismissal of claims by the Regional Courts of Stuttgart and Braunschweig, this is the fifth consecutive time that plaintiffs have failed with their allegations against Porsche SE. To date, none of the courts seized has shared the plaintiffs' legal opinion.
In March 2014, for example, the Regional Court of Stuttgart had dismissed this claim in the first instance. In addition, the Regional Court of Braunschweig rejected a total of three other actions for damages against Porsche SE in 2012 and 2014. Two of these judgments are already final.
Some of the plaintiffs are US-American hedge funds, which had initially attempted to assert their claims in the USA. However, the courts seized there rejected competence for the claims. All litigation in the USA has thus been concluded.

Exploring Resilience | "Only that day dawns to which we are awake."
Extended Explorations
The Lofty Chronicles: 11 — The Turning Tide
September 1, 2002 The Lofty ChroniclesRobert
The Turning Tide
Lauren with cousin Pepper
The Turning Tide (Tuesday, 1 September 1992) The tide of this crisis seems to be turning. Several days ago, Lofty and Rose spent most of a day dressing up in fancy dresses. Lofty borrowed one of Rose's hair bands and later got some for herself. She's also taken to painting her finger nails again. And yesterday she took along a backpack full of dresses when she went to play with Claire.
Tonight, as we're finishing up the book about Abbie Burgess, we come to the chapter in which Abbie is courted by and falls in love with Isaac. This elicits some girlish giggles from Lofty. Joyce and I glance at each other, amused and rather surprised by her reaction.
Later she says to Joyce, "Do you know what I've been thinking about?"
"I'm considering becoming a girl again."
Three Balancing Acts (Tuesday, 1 September 1992) I'm engaged in three critical balancing acts when it comes to Adam. The first is between issue and dynamic. We are obviously caught up in the issue of his abusive behavior and the ensuing crisis. Yet we can't allow our preoccupation with the issue to obscure the underlying dynamic of his chronic stress and alienation, which has been active for quite a while, well before it gave birth to the behavior. Issue and dynamic are intimately related, like twig and root.
The second delicate balance is between the literal and the non-literal Adam. I can't afford to simply focus on one or the other–either the person standing before me, or that aspect of myself which he mirrors back to me. I must pay attention to both.
The third balancing act concerns my beliefs about change. While believing in the potential for radical personal transformation, a belief right at the core of Light Morning's reason for being, I must also acknowledge the heavy, sluggish power of inertia. Can Adam actually transmute the deep twists that led to his damnable involvement the girls? Or is this like hoping for a leopard to change its spots?
Important questions, for both of us.
A Missed Visit (Tuesday, 1 September 1992) Lauren recently had a dream in which Adam came by and we all sat around talking together. She felt good about the dream and has been looking forward to seeing Adam on his next visit from his therapy program in Washington, D.C. When he actually comes to visit, however, and sits around talking, we're in Roanoke and miss seeing him. Lauren is very disappointed.
Dream Song (Thursday, 3 September 1992) We're talking over breakfast about how our life's circumstances are like a powerful dream.
"If only we can stay awake to it," I say. "It's so seductively easy to get sucked into the vortex of the literal drama and fall asleep to its deeper significance."
Then someone mentions the biblical reference about Christ being "the first fruits of them that slept."
During this brief conversation, Lauren's off in a corner of the community shelter, busily involved in a project and not paying the slightest attention to our metaphysical speculations. Or so it seemed.
Later in the morning, Lauren and I are down at the house. I'm ensconced in one of the big chairs in the living room, proofing the outgoing edition of The Lofty Chronicles. Lauren's at the treadle sewing machine, in a bright mood.
"Zippety doo-dah, zippety-ay," she's singing. "My oh my, what a wonderful day. Plenty of sunshine heading my way…"
I smile and go on with my work. She continues singing and sewing, oblivious of my presence. Then I notice that the tune of her song has veered off. The lyrics have changed, too. Soon she's half chanting, half singing, allowing the words to come through spontaneously, as she occasionally did as a young child.
I listen more closely. She's chanting out her questions about dreams and dreaming. Since I already have paper and pencil in hand, and can do so surreptitiously, without breaking her spell, I begin to transcribe her impromptu words.
Don't you call it a dream.
Why don't you call it a dream?
Does anybody know what a dream is?
Can anybody tell me what a dream is?
The slow, rhythmical cadence of the treadle sewing machine is like a shaman's drone note, calling forth and supporting the song.
If anybody knew what a dream is…
If anybody knows what a dreamer is…
So why don't you know
What a dream, dream, dreamer is?
Then singing and sewing are suddenly interrupted by the sound of war whoops coming down the path. Moments later several kids burst into the portico, eager to play. Both song and spell evaporate into excited kid-talk and happy laughter.
Visiting Nat (Wednesday, 9 September 1992) Anticipating our trip out west in November, Joyce was recently wondering aloud to Lauren where in California Nat lives. Nat is the ten-year-old boy Lauren met at Augusta; the one who was rather taken with her. Lauren expressed interest, so Joyce checked the zip code directory and an atlas, discovering that Nat lives quite near Point Reyes, where we'll soon be visiting my parents. She told Lauren this and asked if she'd like to visit him while we're in California.
Lauren said yes. So Joyce got a letter off to Nat and his father.
Tonight someone brings in the mail, including a letter from Nat, and a note from his father, saying they'd love to see us when we're in the area.
"Oh creeps!" Lauren says, obviously embarrassed that her impulse has borne fruit.
"I mean," she adds, correcting herself, "that will be fun."
My Name's Lauren (Tuesday, 22 September 1992) This morning I'm reading a long letter from my father. Lofty, passing by, peers over my shoulder.
"What's that name 'Lofty' doing there?" she asks, seeing a reference to The Lofty Chronicles. "My name's Lauren."
"Well," I reply, "folks are only just now getting used to calling you Lofty, so it may take a bit of adjustment to get back to Lauren again."
"Mom," she says, turning to Joyce, "please notify people that I'm Lauren, and I'm a girl, and I'd like girl things for Christmas."
"I'll see what I can do," Joyce says with a grin.
Later, over supper, several of us are hoping out loud that Lofty won't just go away, never to return, and that there will still be a little room left in Lauren for Lofty.
"I'm about 99% Lauren and 1% Lofty," comes the reply.
Then she allows that the split might be more like 85/15.
"Hmm," I think to myself. "The Lauren Chronicles?"
Bike Gymnastics
A Bizarre Synchronicity (Saturday, 26 September 1992) I have just been nudged by another of those numinous synchronicities which have interwoven themselves into the Adam crisis. Lauren and I stopped by the little country store this afternoon, just as Ray was closing up. The three of us are on the porch–Lauren choosing a few apples to buy, Ray carrying the remaining apples inside, and me wondering whether to bring Ray up to date on Adam.
Ray and Adam have had a fairly close relationship. He knows about Adam's situation and is both concerned and supportive. Adam, however, has not yet felt ready to talk with him about it, so all of Ray's information is sketchy and second-hand. And for some illusive reason, I shy away from broaching the subject.
Lauren finishes selecting her apples and goes over to the outside spigot to wash them off. Ray has just about finished removing everything from the porch. I'm still wrestling with whether or not to bring up Adam.
"Hey, Dad," Lauren calls. "Look what I just found!"
I walk over and kneel down beside her.
"I was washing my apples and saw this on the ground."
She holds up a tiny piece of paper, about ½" square, on the tip of her finger. Something is printed on it. Looking more closely, my body hair starts to rise. On the scrap of paper, which has either been cut or very neatly torn from something larger, is a single word in bold type–Adam.
"Strange, isn't it?" Lauren murmurs.
I nod wordlessly. Nothing else is on the ground; Ray keeps his place well swept. Just Lauren, and her apples, and a single piece of paper with a single word on it.
I get up, feeling rather dense for needing a sign so lacking in subtlety. Going over to Ray, I tell him that Adam has moved to D.C., that he's in a therapy program there, and that he's due to appear in court in a few days. He thanks me for telling him, and asks me to convey his support to Adam. I nod and head back to the car. Lauren joins me, her bag of apples in one hand and the small scrap of paper in the other.
I soon have the opportunity to pass Ray's message on to Adam, and urge him to get in touch with Ray. He later calls and talks with both Ray and his wife, Diane. All three of them feel good about the conversation. So Lauren's "chance" finding of a bizarre little piece of paper helps to catalyze a needed sharing.
Carrying the Story Into Her Dreams (Monday, 28 September 1992) Lauren has a dream that's a continuation of our current bedtime story, The Lord of the Rings. She tells me about it this morning. She apparently awoke several times during the night, and each time she went back to sleep the dream picked up where it had left off.
"And the dream was different," she says, "depending on what side I was sleeping on. When I was sleeping on my right side, the dream was really clear. But when I rolled over and was sleeping on my left side, the dream became foggy, or unclear."
Convoluted Genealogy (Thursday, 1 October 1992) "Hey, Dad," Lauren says. I'm working on a project. She's on the couch, deep in thought.
"What would happen if some guy married an older woman. And that woman had a daughter. And then the guy's father married the woman's daughter. What would the relationship be between the guy and his father?"
I look up with a blank expression, wrenching my mental gears out of the project and into her rather convoluted genealogical question.
"Run that by me once more."
So she repeats her scenario.
"Wouldn't the boy be his father's father-in-law?" she asks.
I think it out and nod.
She smiles.
"I thought so. Pretty neat, eh?"
Encouraging Feedback (Saturday, 3 October 1992) Joyce receives a letter today from a friend that she and Lauren know from Augusta, where Joyce teaches calligraphy. The woman was responding to a letter in which Joyce had shared the events of this past summer and had expressed concern about their possible impact on Lauren. The friend's feedback, based on her relationship with Lauren during their week at Augusta, is encouraging.
"Lauren is still open and loving," she writes, "and doesn't flinch at the touch of strangers. I watched her relate verbally and physically to dozens of strange women and men. I've worked with abused kids, Joyce. They can't do what Lofty did at Augusta. They just plain can't. Period. So I believe you're right. Bless her, she got off easy. Healing will take time, but you're on that track already."
Shaking Hands With Myself (Sunday, 11 October 1992) Lauren has a dream in which she is shaking hands with herself. She says it's as though she is meeting herself for the first time, or congratulating herself about something well done.
Oh Creeps (Wednesday, 14 October 1992) We're in the community shelter, standing around the cook stove. Marlene says some friends are going to be visiting this coming weekend.
"And they have two boys," she continues, looking at Lauren, "who are coming with them."
"How old are the boys?" someone asks.
"Around ten or eleven."
"Oh creeps!" Lauren exclaims.
Then, seeing our smiles, she adds, "That means, 'Oh great!'"
Girls Football (Friday, 16 October 1992) Lauren and I are throwing the football around after lunch. I'm showing her a few standard pass patterns—down and out, the button hook, hook and go. She's having a good time running the patterns.
Later in the afternoon she comes over to where I'm working and shows me a piece of paper with some drawings on it. She explains that she has diagramed all the pass plays we had been practicing and has added a few more.
The paper has a big "GF" at the top, and other letters at the various positions. She explains that the "GF" stands for Girls Football and that "R" is Robert, "L" is Lauren, "M" is "Myra", and "B" is Becky. She hopes everyone will get together soon and practice.
He's Still Tom (Monday, 26 October 1992) Lauren and I go to town to see Tom, who's recovering from skin cancer surgery. The operation removed and then reconstructed his lower right eyelid. It went well.
The surgeon also cut out two other small spots, one from next to his nose and the other from his back. He's recuperating for a few days at Wes and Shara's, so that his surgeon can keep an eye on his recovery without having him incur the expense of an additional hospital stay.
"Tom's a little nervous about you coming in to see him so soon," I mention to Lauren.
"Well, his bandages have just been removed and he's afraid his face might look pretty messy and maybe a bit scary. He's thinking you may not want to see him quite yet."
"That's silly," she retorts. "He's still Tom!"
"That's true," I agree. "I guess it's like when Darth Vader is dying, in the last Star Wars movie. He doesn't want Luke to see what he looks like underneath that big black mask. But Luke doesn't care about the ugly scars. He just wants to see his father, face to face."
"That's right. I just want to see him."
We have a fine visit. The reconstructive surgery was done skillfully, the healing has been rapid, and Tom and Lauren enjoy seeing each other.

The Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Region is a biosphere reserve situated in the north eastern region of South Africa, straddling Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces. In 2001, under the supervision of the then Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Region (K2C BR) was officially ratified by UNESCO as part of the Man and the Biosphere (MaB) Programme. UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme provides a framework for exploring local solutions to challenges by mainstreaming biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, integrating economic, social and environmental aspects and recognizing their vital linkages within specific learning landscapes adjacent to Protected Areas (as core areas).

}The K2C BR is situated in the North Eastern section of South Africa and includes two of South Africa's key tourism sites – the Kruger National Park and the Blyde River Canyon, as well as one of the leading international floral hotspots, the Wolkberg Region.  The current boundaries of the registered Biosphere extend from the Letaba River in the North to the Sabie River in the South and the Blyde Escarpment in the West to the Mozambique border in the East.

Size
This give a total of 2,608,000 ha  of which the core zone is 923,000 ha, the buffer zone 485,000 ha and the Transition Zone is 1,200,000 ha. Within this region, there are approximately 1,155 permanent residents in the core zones, 10,475 in the buffer zones and 1,488,684 in the transition zones. This extensive geographical area, together with the large number of residents within the region, all adds up to a very active and a very diverse area.

Biosphere Functions
The strategic plan of the K2C needs to be seen within the framework of the MaB Strategy and Lima Action Plan where every Biosphere globally is intended to fulfil three basic functions, which are complementary and mutually reinforcing.  These three core functions are the following:

 Conservation: Conserving genetic resources and ecosystems and maintaining biodiversity;
 Sustainable Development: Foster economic and human development which is socio-culturally and ecologically sustainable;
 Logistics: An international network of areas related to MaB field research and monitoring accompanied by education and training.

Central to fulfilling these three basic functions is the zonation of biospheres that spatially and conceptually delineates the following zones that are bound by and guided by national and provincial legislation as well as district and local municipal by- laws:

 Core Zone: Legally constituted and dedicated to long-term protection
 Buffer Zone: clearly identified and surrounding or contiguous to the core
 Transition Zone: where sustainable resource management practices are promoted).

Building on the above the K2C has three strategic objectives (SO) that align with the Man and Biosphere strategy:

 SO 1: To enhance the conservation of biodiversity and cultural heritage, maintain ecosystem services and foster the sustainable and equitable use of natural resources through the implementation of projects.
 SO 2: To explore, develop, support, and study thriving sustainable societies, economies, and human settlements respecting the web of life on which they depend.
 SO 3: To promote the understanding of the impact of environmental changes, including climate change, and develop and support mitigation and adaptation actions.

Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Region Non-Profit Company
The Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Region Non-Profit Company (K2C NPC) was established in 2011 to act as the vehicle for coordinating the implementation of Biosphere activities. The Founding Board of 2011-2013 put the first enabling mechanisms in place and today a strategic plan has been developed and is implemented within the framework of the K2C NPC internal policies and the South African Companies Act. The K2C NPC has built and developed a contingent of capable staff over the years governed by a Board of Non-Executive Directors.  The K2C functions on a project-based annual budget that has been approved and is tracked by the K2C BR NPC Board's Risk and Audit Committee.

The K2C NPC's vision is "Partnering to achieve a sustainable future for all life in the K2C biosphere" and the K2C NPC works towards this vision and partnerships through relevant facilitation, collaboration, co-ordination and fundraising to either support or initiate and implement actions.

The K2C NPC is currently running 11 projects with partners across this landscape linking sustainable development and biodiversity conservation. Project focuses vary from the expansion of protected areas; other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs); capacity building of environmental monitors in rural communities; environmental awareness; water security; alien invasive plant clearing, agro-ecology and sustainable land management. Interventions are focused on the interface where vulnerable communities; water; biodiversity and ecosystem services exists which is pertinent in the face of climate change. This is achieved by working at a number of levels, across disciplines and with a number of partners which helps to ensure impact at scale. In addition work focuses on capacity building, awareness and career pathing activities within the environmental sector with a particular focus on youth and women. Since the inception of the K2C  NPC in 2011, over 23 projects have been successfully implemented by the biosphere which is a highly embedded NGO within the Limpopo and Mpumalanga landscape.

Achievements

Accomplishments to date include: 74 010 hectares declared as protected areas; 958 jobs created in the green economy; currently 170 Environmental Monitors in communities and partner supporting host institutions; 14 199 hectares of land has been rehabilitated and 22 167 hectares cleared of alien invasive plants.

StopTech's Slotted rotors feature directional slots and cooling veins that guard the rotor against cracking in high-stress, high-performance situations. Teaming them up with a full brake kit ensures your vehicle's brakes will be ready for everything.
Each braking system is custom-designed to your vehicle's exact specifications. With this system, you'll receive four sets of slotted rotors, street performance brake pads, and Stainless Steel brake lines, one full brake set for each of your wheels. Even better, everything installs directly to your stock calipers. No matter the conditions, your braking performance will improve dramatically. A StopTech Brake Kit with Slotted Rotors prevents the deleterious effects of glazing on your braking system, ensuring ample bite and response while also protecting your vehicle against thermal cracking. Corrosion-resistant and substantially more aggressive than your stock brakes could ever hope to be, you'll find everything you need to install these brakes included in one convenient package.
You are well within your rights to demand nothing but the best from your braking system. Whether you are a speed demon or a Sunday driver, insist upon quality, the kind that will keep you safe and sound, by using a StopTech Brake Kit with Drilled Rotors. Backed by a 90-Day Warranty.
Amazing -- totally complete kit. Had everything I needed down to the copper washers for the SS brake line connection to the calipers. Great look, great performance. Stopping power is probably twice as effective as OEM.
I've had the kit installed for about 400 miles now. It works very well. A significant upgrade from OEM with pedal feel and stopping power. Also, no squealing! I am very happy with the purchase. Installation is not too bad if you are an intermediate wrencher. Carrier bolts will have to be removed on an 08 MKV to get the rotors off. Be prepared, with the right tools and muscle to break those loose, and to torque back to spec when getting it back together.

Q: How to use SQL code to select the latest ID that is not in order (Even though I have sort it) So it is a picture that show my ID that is in order if we assume S2 is bigger S10. The order of my ID is S1, S10, S11, S12, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9
I wrote my SQL code like this and the latest ID it return is S9
Just keep in mind that I want the alphabet beside the number.
So which SQL code allow me to select the latest ID that is S12 ? PLS help me.
SELECT IdSoalan FROM SOALAN ORDER BY IdSoalan DESC LIMIT 1

A: The reason why order by cause this is because your IdSoalan is a alphanumeric data.
You shouldn't use this type of data as typical ID but try this :
ORDER BY LENGTH(IdSoalan), IdSoalan

this should make your data order like this :
S1 - S9 then S10 - S12 and go on.
for descending form just put desc on both.
ORDER BY LENGTH(IdSoalan) DESC, IdSoalan DESC

A: Try this:
SELECT IdSoalan FROM SOALAN ORDER BY LENGTH(IdSoalan) DESC, IdSoalan DESC LIMIT 1

It sorts by length of the column in a descending order and then by the value in a descending order and limits the result to 1. It's called natural sorting in MySQL.
