Vortex Introduces New Tactical Riflescope
Vortex Optics' new Razor HD 5-20x50mm riflescope was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of military and law enforcement precision shooters. Packed with more than a dozen unique performance and optical features, the Razor delivers superior ranging and accuracy at extreme distance. With its 35mm one-piece tube machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the Razor offers 36 mrad/125 MOA adjustment range for windage and elevation; enough to accommodate for bullet drop at the most extreme distances. The optically-indexed lenses are precision-ground from XD optical glass and fully multi-coated with Vortex's advanced XR coating to deliver the highest level of edge-to-edge brightness, resolution and clarity obtainable with today's optical technologies. A unique, multi-element apochromatic (APO) objective lens virtually eliminates chromatic aberration across the entire field of view so targets can be more clearly defined at longer distances – and camouflage patterns more easily spotted and identified. Ranging and accuracy at extreme distances is simplified with their proprietary new EBR-2 mrad reticle. Laser-etched-on-glass and placed in the first focal plane, the reticle enlarges and shrinks with the target when zoomed so the scale remains in proportion at all magnifications. In addition, the subtensions on the EBR-2 mrad reticle match the subtension markings on the turrets to make range calculations and shooting adjustments faster and more accurate. Turret screws are ultra-precision machined from silicon-brass alloy and fitted with hardened steel turret pads that interface with a hardened steel ring on the erector tube. This patent-pending friction reduction system eliminates deformation, wear and galling of the erector screws. Vortex's proprietary RZR (Rapid Zero Return) Zero Stop mechanism stops the elevation turret from dialing below sight-in range using a rotational-blocking steel design (patent pending) that's mechanically more reliable and accurate than other systems that block the vertical movement of the turret. The RZR Zero Stop is fully sealed from the elements – even when being set. Delivers precise return to zero after temporary elevation corrections have been dialed without the need for the user to count clicks. With generous 3.9 inch eye relief through the entire 5-20X range of magnification, absolutely waterproof/dustproof/shockproof construction, and a hard-anodized matte Stealth Shadow Black finish, the Razor HD 5-20mm riflescope truly represents the state-of-the art in combat-ready rifle optics.

Mako Offers Shotgun Solutions
The Mako Group, a leader in marketing and distributing weapons accessories, announces their new line of Remington and Mossberg shotgun stocks. All three types of unique stocks, (1) folding, (2) folding collapsible and (3) shock absorber collapsible, are solutions to the market's numerous requests. Each stock is designed to be very tough and robust, with superior features not found anywhere today. First there is the Tactical Folding Buttstock with an Embedded Adjustable Cheek Piece for the Remington 870, UAS870, Mossberg 500/590 and UAS500, with a MSRP of $160. This is a completely new innovative, ground-breaking design for shotgun stocks. The folding joint can be mounted to fold on either the left or right side, with clearance for trigger use. To fold the stock, simply push the button and a spring locks the stock in the folded position. To unfold, just pull on the stock. In addition, the stock has a slim and low profile, and the rubber buttplate reduces recoil and slippage. Next is an AR-15/M4-style Folding and Collapsible Buttstock for the Remington 870, AGRF870-FK, Mossberg 500/590 and AGMF500-FK with a MSRP of $207. This product includes The Mako Group's best-selling GLR16 buttstock which folds (as described above), has 5-collapsible positions, comes with an M4-style aluminum buffer tube, and includes two battery-storage compartments – one in the GLR16 and one in the pistol grip. Finally, the AR-15/M4-style Collapsible Buttstock with Shock Absorber for the Remington 870, AGR870-FKSB, Mossberg 500/590 and AGM500-FKSB with a MSRP $255. This product also includes The Mako Group's best-selling GLR16 buttstock (as described above) and has a unique, one-of-a-kind, shock-absorber system which reduces the actual recoil. Combined with a 5-position collapsible stock, the product is the only one of its type and price point in the market place today. The pistol grip allows a natural fighting stance hold on the shotgun and is slightly angled to counter recoil. In addition, there is improved muzzle control performance during fire and a storage compartment for batteries or a cleaning kit. No gunsmithing is required. All of these stocks are manufactured by FAB Defense in Israel. Please contact them for more information at The Mako Group, Dept. SAR, 74 Rome Street, Farmingdale, NY 11735. Phone: (631) 880-3396.

Wilson Combat Announces New 6.8 SPC Rifles
After a tremendous amount of research and testing by Bill Wilson and the Wilson Combat team, they are excited to announce the availability of their custom AR platform rifles chambered in 6.8 SPC caliber. The 6.8 SPC (6.8x43mm) was developed by the United States Army Marksmanship Unit to offer superior downrange lethality over the 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington in an AR pattern service rifle with minimal loss of magazine capacity and a negligible increase in recoil. When built to the level of quality and precision Wilson Combat has achieved, the 6.8 SPC is also capable of outstanding accuracy and reliability. In their match-grade, Spec II chambered 16-inch barrels, the 6.8 SPC is capable of pushing a .277 caliber, 85gr bullet to over 2,900 fps. The 110gr bullets easily achieve 2,500 fps with factory loaded ammunition. Appropriate hand loading can achieve even higher velocities and enable the use of heavier projectiles up to 130 grains, which dramatically improves terminal ballistics over a 5.56 Nato/.223 Remington at long range. This added ballistic performance makes the 6.8 SPC perfect for home protection and SRT/SWAT teams. The 6.8 is a truly ideal hunting round for medium to heavy game and turns the AR into a serious hunting rifle. It's also available in the Tactical Hunter Lightweight and M4 formats, all further customizable by users. Contact Wilson Combat, Dept. SAR, 2234 CR 719, Berryville, AR 72616 for more information.

Wow! I can't believe how extreme metal has become. The last time I listened to metal at any length was back in the early '80s, when I was in middle school and thought Iron Maiden was pretty cool. Of course, I've heard my share of straight-ahead thrash and speed metal since then, but Norway's Dimmu Borgir is another story altogether. Dimmu Borgir play an ultra-gothic brand of metal known as "black" metal. Their music combines aspects of speed and Euro-metal into a theatrical symphonic blend. While black metal is far from the range of different types of music I typically enjoy listening to, I found myself drawn to Dimmu Borgir's music because it is so ridiculously over the top. I give the group credit for definitely not walking softly in anyone's footsteps. This is musical overkill at its finest. Spiritual Black Dimensions is sure to please fans of the black metal genre and those who appreciate anything in its extreme.

Okay there was a winner, but......
The wizards watched the Westminster show last week, along with probably most of the population, and like everyone else when we heard the predictions of the exit polls we scoffed, confident that there was no way one half of a coalition Government could be all but annihilated whilst the other half could become the first sitting government party to increase its seats in half a lifetime.
The idea that Scotland, home to a wizard or two, could reject just about all its Labour MP's was just plain silly, I mean Scotland has voted red since they were subsidising the transport of beasties on the Ark !
The first sign that something mammoth was afoot came when the bloke who successfully bet £300k on the outcome of the Scottish referendum was found to have bet £30k on an outright Tory majority, a wise wizard would have been down to the bookies with at least a tenner matching the bet, but wise I was not
As the night progressed and the results came in, Professor Smug on the BBC just got ever more smiley as result after result proved that his exit poll of 22,000 bodies across the country was spot on the money and from a large Conservative minority government we were suddenly looking at the unthinkable.
Friday's events, with political leader after political leader playing resignation snap, even if Nigel didn't really mean it, were also the thing of dreams and nightmares, by the time we got to tea and biscuits the boys and girls with the blue badges were celebrating like loons.
A week down the road however, things look a wee bit different
Our Prime Minister will stare out across the divide and see not one credible foe for the time being, his nemesis instead will sit in Edinburgh, directing her army of snipers to blow holes in the Governments cause, indeed the Government majority is so small that DC needs at least one eye covering his back, ensuring that his own bunch of backbench irregulars are not blowing themselves and the rest of the Government up.
The case for electoral reform has been made repeatedly, but the vested interests of red and blue have always managed to prevent change, but with Purple Nigels lot getting 4 million votes and only one MP, his friends on the Tory back benchs might just be a little more open to seeing things differently
What seemed like a straightforward victory last week suddenly does' not, there is a fractured Union to hold together with very little leeway to accommodate the Jocks. There is a Hokey Kokey referendum on the Country's continued membership of Europe to manage , a host of local elections a year away for the discontented to take advantage of, oh and the Winning general has already indicated his intention to retire to the drawing room with the brandy and revolver in due course
As the Chinese might say, we live in interesting times, and nothing but nothing is clear and straightforward !

GRC Platform Saves the Company From Incurring Millions in Compliance & Audit Costs
Companies that source raw materials around the world to manufacture products may be unaware of or disregard the materials country of origin. It is a concern when minerals are mined in war-torn regions with profits going to fund warring factions.
Additionally, companies are often removed from mineral sourcing as suppliers typically manage that process. Given a company may work with hundreds or thousands of suppliers, it is difficult to know which, if any, are sourcing conflict minerals.
Dodd-Frank Section 1502 addresses the issue of minerals mined in areas of the world under heavy conflict from armies and militias such as the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa. There is a sizeable global market for these minerals, as they are used in consumer electronics, as well as dyes, fasteners, accessories and other manufactured goods. Section 1502 requires public companies to disclose annually whether these conflict minerals exist in their supply chains. If so, companies must report on due diligence efforts and conduct a private sector audit.
For a luxury fashion accessories manufacturer and retailer with over 1,000 suppliers around the world, meeting compliance and audit requirements mandated by Section 1502 would cost around $3.5 million annually and take six to 12 months to complete.
The challenge for the manufacturer/retailer is two-fold: one, compliance and audit challenges with meeting 1502 requirements. Two, public pressure on organizations for transparency.

Some conservative Christians say they're oppressed because they can't discriminate against others. The State Department has some real oppression to show them.
While the owners of Hobby Lobby rejoice in their ability to withhold insurance coverage from their employees, a new State Department report reveals that around the world, 2013 was a terrible year for Christians facing real oppression.
The report, the "International Religious Freedom Report for 2013," hearkens back to that time when "religious freedom" meant religious freedom—i.e., the ability to practice one's own religion without restriction from majority groups. The news is sobering.
"In 2013, the world witnessed the largest displacement of religious communities in recent memory," the report begins—and this was before the Sunni-Shia civil war now engulfing much of the Middle East. Christians have fared especially poorly.
In Syria, Christians had comprised 10% of the population—though estimates are now down to 8 percent, as Christians have been fleeing in droves. The city of Homs, for example, once had a Christian population of 160,000. Now it is about 1,000. In 2013, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Christian refugees fled back to Iraq , where now, of course, they face annihilation in Mosul at the hands of the Islamic State.
China, too, has been persecuting its Christian population, which includes between 23 and 40 million Protestants, and 9 million Catholics. Christianity is a "nationally recognized religion"—sort of. Actually, what is recognized are only two "patriotic religious associations" of those clergy who agree to tow the Chinese regime's line. According to the State Department report, those who do not are routinely arrested, evicted from their homes, and even sent to labor camps.
That includes the Catholic hierarchy. The "Catholic Patriotic Association" does not recognize the Vatican, and requires its affiliates to publicly pledge support for the Chinese Communist Party.
Of course, this is better than the plight of Falun Gong (70 million practitioners), which has been labeled an "evil cult" and persecuted accordingly, or of Tibetan Buddhism (2.7 million adherents), which has been officially outlawed, and replaced (officially) with state-sponsored forms.
Elsewhere in the world, Christians have been attacked and killed in Egypt (42 churches attacked in the period from August 14-17 alone), Pakistan, Sudan, the Central African Republic, Turkmenistan, Burma, and Nigeria (on the part of Boko Haram). Not to be outdone, North Korea bans all religious practice of any kind.
Obviously, it's not only Christians who are being targeted; Muslims, for example, are being attacked in Burma, China, and Russia. And much of the reported violence is internecine warfare between Christians and Muslims, with atrocities on all sides.
Still, the report paints a sobering view of real threats to religious freedom abroad, as compared with imagined ones here in the United States.
Well, for one thing, Americans tend toward the isolationist; many can't be bothered to care about what goes on over the oceans. And no one knows where Turkmenistan is.
More to the point, Hobby Lobby and "Turn the Gays Away" laws are things Americans can do something about. By comparison, it's hard to find a good intervention in Syria or Iraq—let alone China. Most of the places that are bad for Christians are bad places for everybody.
Still, the oppression of Christians abroad could be a much-needed reality check for those complaining about the War on Christmas. It could remind them of what religious liberty is: not the freedom to discriminate, but freedom from discrimination, violence, and worse.
It might even bring religious conservatives and progressives together again, as they were when they passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993, when everyone knew it was meant to protect vulnerable minorities, as opposed to multi-million-dollar corporations.
For the moment, though, conservative "religious freedom" activists have more in common with those persecuting Christians than with the Christians being persecuted. They are a majority faith imposing their beliefs on others. They often have the force of law behind them. And they seem not to imagine that the tables might someday be turned—as is the case for millions of Christians today.

Q: To find the oldest/newest element in a heap I want to find the oldest/newest element added into a heap of size k. At any given point of time if I have to find say the oldest element in the heap is there any approach with O(1) space and O(1) time.
I was thinking of an approach of having a queue of the same size as that of the heap and add all the element into the queue as they are added to the heap. This yields a constant time solution but this requires an extra O(k) space. I would like to know if this problem can be solved with constant space.

A: You can use a Double-End Priority Queue for this. There are a number of implementation methods available and the structure is routinely available in many libraries. Most Java libraries call it a MinMaxPriorityQueue though. It offers O(1) retrieval of Min and Max (Newest/Oldest) in O(1) time.
In order to fulfill your space requirement, you'd need to use an interval heap where each node has two values. Book-keeping is a little tricky but no slower than normal.

A: If you maintain a separate data structure along side your heap, this would likely solve your problem.  This is the approach that the LinkedHashMap uses (a linked list along side the HashMap) to allow for an LRU cache and well known ordering of the entries in the LinkedHashMap (insertion order) (grepcode LinkedHashMap.Entry).
This data structure would look like a Deque or something similar and is ordered by insertion order.  No other ordering is imposed on this structure.
The biggest problem with doing this though, is that the two structures (the heap and the deque) are not synchronized, one would have to do book keeping to remove from the deque when something is removed from the heap.
One approach to this would be to use a weak reference (Java Reference, C# WeakRefrence class).  When you walk the deque you would poll the Reference for get() to see if its actually there, and if so return that, otherwise discard that element in the deque and keep walking the list until you find a Reference that has an object attached to it.
The gotcha here is that if you are pointing to the object the heap is pointing to, it is possible that some other part of the code has taken a strong hold on the object and you'll think that is still in the Heap.
To avoid this, the deque should instead point to the heap element rather than the object the heap element is pointing to, and be very clean with your removal of the element from the heap when it is disposed (and not letting it leak outside of the heap - except to the deque (which should probably be inside the heap)).  I will admit to not knowing how long the Reference will still point to something and what conditions are necessary to deterministically clear it.
This then would allow the garbage collector to do the work for you of book keeping.  The trade off is instead of each time the insert or removal is being done form the heap and book keeping being done then, the book keeping is done when the deque is polled or peeked.  Which way the trade off goes is something to consider based on the insertion, removal, and polling the application does of the heap.
A thought of sticking yet another data structure inside the heap may allow for issues of deterministic references.  If you have a HashMap in the heap that holds all the objects too (though note that its not actually holding copies of them juts its own strong references to the objects).  When something is added or removed from the heap, it is also added or removed from the HashMap.  Thus, the deque, instead of holding weak references to the object holds a strong reference.  When the deque is polled, it checks the HashMap to see if the object is still in the heap.
Either way, what this ultimately provides is a deque such that the first element returned from the deque is the oldest in the heap, and the last element returned from the deque is the newest object in the heap.

A: I've copied my answer from this question: What data structure can I use to implement a double ended priority queue with log(n) insertion and find? I've repeated it here because these questions don't really appear to be duplications, but simply two questions that can be -- but don't have to be -- solved with the same technique:
Here is what I did for a block allocator free-list implementation that needed a double-ended priority queue:

*

*Use standard red-black tree algorithms, with one small enhancement:

*During insertion keep track of the minimum and maximum element in the tree as you do insertions or deletions. This only adds at most O(log n) comparisons as overhead during the already O(log n) insertion process, so doesn't change the overall algorithmic complexity.

This yields:

*

*O(log n): insertion

*O(1): find-min and delete-min

*O(1): find-max and delete-max
Since those were the only operations I needed for my particular application, this was pretty much the best possible data structure. Even if you needed other priority queue operations (like changing priorities, etc) pretty much everything is still going to be O(log n) worst case because of the red-black tree.
The reason you get O(1) for both find-min/max as well as delete-min/max is that you've kept track of the minimum and maximum element during insertion, so you can immediately find it, eliminating the O(log n) for the search. Then the red-black tree algorithm guarantees O(1) operations to rebalance the tree after the element is removed. (This is a well known and very important property of red-black trees. This wouldn't be the case with most other binary search trees, such as AVL trees, which require O(log n) operations during rebalancing.)

Tips that may help you save water: | Lafayette Tree & Landscape Inc.
• Water established shrubs and trees no more than once a week.
• Prevent irrigation runoff by using three to four short rather than one long irrigation cycle.
• Check irrigation system for leaks, broken spray-heads and run off.
• Consider upgrading irrigation systems and converting lawns to sustainable landscapes, and start by learning about EBMUD landscape conservation and irrigation upgrade rebates.
• Run only full loads of laundry.
• Keep showers short, and consider recapturing water during warm-up to use for non-potable uses such as toilet flushing and watering plants.

Populations can increase or decrease for many reasons. Identifying the demographic mechanism by which populations are changing can help us narrow down the ecological causes. In turn this can help shape conservation and management policies. For example, research by BTO and others showed that nesting success in Lapwing can be very sensitive to the habitat they nest in, information that has influenced advice on how farmers and reserve managers should implement habitat management policies (Sheldon et al. 2004).
However, in order to get a full picture of how populations are changing one needs to consider all sources of information together. Statistically, it is quite challenging to combine disparate datasets effectively. However, much progress has been made recently through the application of a suite of procedures that use Bayes' theorem.
The Revd Thomas Bayes actually came up with his statistical theorem in 1763, but it required so many calculations it was impractical to apply it to anything other than very simple datasets. However, the advent of high performance computers now mean the intense number crunching required can be undertaken. In essence, Bayes' Theorem shifts the focus from calculating which (single) value of survival or nest success, say, best fits the observed data, to asking 'given the data I have, how likely is it that any particular value of survival or nest success yielded them?' It turns out that this way of looking at the world enables to us to contemplate much more complex problems than previously, such as how to combine data from the Nest Record and Ringing Schemes.
Two papers by BTO researchers, in collaboration with statisticians, on Song Thrush and Blackbird develop the methods to do this (Baillie et al. 2009; Robinson et al. in press). It is hoped that these will pave the way, in time, for us to apply these methods to a wide range of species for which BTO volunteers collect data on a routine basis. This will help us give the best advice we can about the factors affecting our bird populations.

The Way to Go Out
I guess it's the nature of final races that people leave: it's the end of the season, the natural place to move or make a break, and when I was looking in my inbox for an email just now one popped up from 2007, written by a different communications chief for a differently named series, addressed to some teams that no longer exist, tyre suppliers who no longer do, people who've gone on to F1 or off to retirement (or both), but enclosing the same sort of media schedule as we still use.
The more things change.
But that didn't make it any sadder to most of the paddock that Penny Whitaker had announced her retirement. Many people reading this won't know who Penny is, or at best will have seen something we've done on social media over the race weekend, but everyone in the paddock knows her, and knows where to find her: the schedule I mentioned above included activities with the location Penny's Office, because it's so central to a race weekend.
Penny organised passes for the paddock, and she worked with the race stewards to distribute their communications, and if you think that doesn't sound like much then I'm afraid you don't understand how motorsport actually works, because she was at the centre of activity all weekend long. One example, just from this week: Paul from RUSSIAN TIME packed a new bag for Abu Dhabi, like most of us, because we were all going for a 2 week stint including the tests.
On the way out he grabbed the red pass out of his usual bag and headed off to the airport, and it was only when he got to the track that he realised it was his 2016 pass. He came up to see Penny, shamefaced at his silly mistake, to see if there was anything she could do: a couple of calls later and Paul was the only person in the pitlane working with an old pass, something that shouldn't be able to happen but which did because of the respect everyone in both paddocks has for her, respect which has only grown over the 29 years she's been working in various paddocks around the world.
Richard and Kenny from Arden turned up on Wednesday with some flowers to say thank you for all of her efforts over the years, and if the flowers were both not exactly practical in a paddock and quite probably shipped in with their cars then Penny was far too gracious to do anything other than smile and thank them profusely for their present before looking for something in which to keep them.
And Penny is probably the only person who could find a flower vase in a support paddock in Abu Dhabi.
Leaving the paddock that afternoon I noticed a couple of bikes from the local bicycle hire scheme leaning against the wall: waiting for the others to come down I fantasised about taking one of them for a ride back to the hotel, and was wondering where the docking station was when Charles Leclerc came down, said hello and jumped on one of them. "Damn," I laughed, "if I'd known it was yours I definitely would have taken it!" It does seem a little lazy to ride a bike for the couple of hundred metres to the hotels, but I guess it's better than driving over…
Thursday was as busy as ever, with the final round of media activities before the end of the season. It always means a lot of running around in the paddock, bumping into people at random. Sean Gelael and Norman Nato were walking past at one stage: I asked them if they had their party outfits ready for the end of season ceremony, and they didn't realise they were supposed to dress up until I said "come on, do you really want to be shown up by me?"
Fancy menswear stores of the UAE: you're welcome.
I was also going to round someone up for an interview when I heard "Alexa, Alexa" behind me: not being her I kept walking, but the "Alexa, Alexa" chant was getting closer until I turned around and Albert Resclosa, Sergio Sette Camara's manager, was walking over. "Hi Alexa, I just wanted to ask…"
"Hi, I'm David."
"Oh." Long pause. "Hi, I just wanted to ask if…"
It kept going all day: at one stage I ended up having 2 drivers doing interviews at the same time in different rooms, because someone was late. I won't embarrass the driver by naming him, but it had nothing to do with his FP1 run the next day. But as everything still needed to be done, I set up George Russell in one room for his live Q&A and then gave him the Dictaphone and a list of questions so he could interview himself for a forthcoming feature before going into the other room to set up Charles for his Q&A, walking back and forth between them until they were both done.
I haven't listened to the tape back yet, but I'm pretty sure George just answered the questions as requested, and didn't leave any rude messages at all. And he is probably the only driver I could trust not to do that. But if he did, I'll put them into the interview. Keep watch for the last Insider issue of the year…
And then it was time to turn to the track. Charles Leclerc had the easiest job in the paddock, and he looked like it: his title was in the bag and his future was pretty much settled, so he could just enjoy his final couple of runs in the car and try to help PREMA take the double with the teams' title. Every time I saw him he looked chilled, smiling and laughing with the team as he waited for the future to catch up to him.
There was more much pressure on rivals Oliver Rowland and Artem Markelov: both men were still fighting for their own ambitions, with the added needs of their respective teams and teammates as additional complications that the Monegasque driver didn't carry into the weekend. Oli was in hiding, as usual, emerging only when instructed by the team, or when it was time to get into the car. Artem, on the other hand, was floating through the paddock spreading joy, always ready for a selfie with someone or a quick chat, as though the fact that he was pushing for P2 in the drivers' championship (and P1 in the teams') hadn't quite sunk in yet.
The shape of the weekend was different, much more hurry up and wait, more hanging around making busy work until the timetable comes around to you. Free practice arrived on Friday morning, the heat of the circuit coming on but less intensely than previous years, with all of the drivers heading straight out to make the most of their time on track. The ART drivers led the way early in the session, with Norman Nato stealing it from them before returning to the pits with most of the grid around the 20 minute mark.
Alex Albon was one of the few to remain on track: the Thai driver reclaimed the top spot at the halfway mark before returning to the pits. With the field concentrating on race run data in the second half of the session, the fight for the top spot was over: Albon was first by over a tenth from Nato and Nyck De Vries.
Better late than never, for the Thai driver it was an indication that things were coming back to him after a tough season: his early form was strong until a broken collarbone put him out of action for a while, with set up changes and an undiagnosed broken chassis after an accident for replacement Sergey Sirotkin meant his year had not gone to plan, until now. This time last year he was fighting for the GP3 title with Leclerc, but it seemed a lot longer ago: maybe this was a chance for Albon to remind people of the form that was so clear not so long ago.
For the first indications of the teams' battle, PREMA had a slight lead with Antonio Fuoco leading the way, finishing the session in P5 ahead DAMS and RUSSIAN TIME, but there was a long wait for qualifying that evening. All that tension in the paddock just hung in the air, with nowhere for it to disperse.
Then it was time to turn on the bright lights, and it was Markelov who came to the fore.
When the session open all of the drivers bar the ART teammates headed straight out on track, with the DAMS pair coming straight back after scrubbing a set of tyres. The times were soon tumbling but Markelov blew past everyone, annexing P1 by four tenths as most of the field returned to the pits. The ART and DAMS drivers headed out as their rivals came in to take advantage of the alternate strategy, and with the track to themselves Nobuharu Matsushita grabbed P2, ahead of Rowland (P4), Latifi (P6) and Albon (P8) before the first 3 returned to the pits.
But the Thai driver wasn't satisfied that he had made the most of his tyres, staying out to improve his time and, surprisingly, on his second flyer went faster for P2. But pushing to get back in time to change onto his second set came at a cost: he ran out of fuel in the final sector, stopping on track and undoing his good work.
Markelov led his rivals back on track, showing his hand with his eagerness to improve on his second set. 3 minutes remained as they all hit their quick laps: the Russian improved further still, with Fuoco slotting in behind him on the timesheets until De Vries crossed the line and stole P2 from him. Rowland put in a late lap to slot into P4, ahead of Leclerc (P6), Luca Ghiotto (P7) and Latifi (P12), with Albon being pushed down to 10th in his absence before disqualification for his inability to provide a fuel sample twisted the knife further.
"I'm fighting for everything," Artem later smiled, "and I'm pretty confident about what will happen tomorrow: hopefully this confidence coming into me will show in my results as well. The key is to just save the tyres, and we'll see what will happen to the other guys around me!"
The points for pole sharpened the fight for the vice-champion spot: Markelov closed the gap to Rowland to just 8. And in the teams' title the battle was white hot, with just 2 points between RUSSIAN TIME, PREMA and DAMS, the Italians leading but wearing a large target on their back with the Russians getting into the driver's seat.
Markelov is a master at tyre preservation: this has been proven time and time again. A late change of tyre compound added a wrinkle that the teams would have preferred not to have to iron, but it was pretty obvious to everyone on the paddock what was going to happen in the feature race: Markelov would lead from pole, manage his tyres throughout, and the two championship battles would go down to the wire in the sprint race.
The difference between a race plan and a race result is the reason why we all watch them.
But with an entire day to fill on Saturday before dusk fell and they could return to the track, we did what we could to keep everyone's minds off the storm to come. A surprise photoshoot for Penny with the GP3 and F2 championships was delayed, not as you would expect because one or both drivers slept in – George and Charles were present and correct in the pitlane on time – but because Penny forgot about it and went over to the F1 paddock to get to work. She was flustered and apologetic about keeping the guys waiting, but to their credit they both said they didn't care, that it was just good that she could make it.
And later we had the final drivers' parade of the season, herding cats in the pitlane as we tried to get all of the drivers in one place at one time that wasn't a race. "Hi David," Albert smiled, a little too broadly as he walked over to shake hands, "I made sure Sergio was here on time!" We piled them onto the truck and followed them on, and if we were worried about a lack of fans that early in the day we needn't have, as they were out in force to wave to their favourites.
As usual we ran the live feed to our social media, and as usual Santino Ferrucci took the phone and interviewed everyone for us, entertaining and flummoxing his rivals in the process. He's got a big future in broadcasting when he hangs up his helmet.
When the red lights went out Markelov made a brilliant start to lead De Vries and Rowland through turn 1, Fuoco made a dreadful one and fell behind teammate Leclerc as Ghiotto pushed up to P4, playing tail gunner to his teammate as everyone waited to see which way the tyre strategies would work: De Vries, Leclerc and Albon started on the alternate (soft) strategy and were pushing to take advantage, while everyone else hung on as long as they could on the supersofts before the pitlane opened so they could dispose of them and see where they were.
Markelov led his rivals in on lap 7, pushing the tyres hard as he absorbed the pressure from De Vries to pit from the lead, emerging just ahead of Rowland. The Briton knew he had one shot at the win and he grabbed it, attacking into turn 8 when the Russian was worried about not damaging his tyres, and a couple of fast laps meant he was away as Leclerc, De Vries and Albon (with a brilliant drive from the back of the grid) worked hard to hold as much of the gap that Rowland and Markelov were currently eating into as they could.
But their older tyres weren't able to perform miracles, and when they started to lose their edge Leclerc's pursuers were closing at a second a lap: the question now was how much time would he be able to claw back on the supersofts, and how long would they last? Rowland and Markelov ran like a train by Albon on lap 18 for P3/4, Leclerc and De Vries were in on lap 24 and were soon back on track in P3/4, and there were 7 laps to see how the race would shake out.
Leclerc was 14 seconds behind Markelov in P2, and he took 2.5s out of the Russian next time around: he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, wanting to move forward for the win but also watching his mirrors, with a small off in the marina complex an outward display of the pressure he was putting himself under. The gap was closing – 8.6s, 6.1s, 4.2s – but on lap 30 it went the other way – 5.3s – and Leclerc's challenge was over.
With 2 laps remaining the gap forward was too big, and Rowland duly crossed the line for win number 3 by 6.6s from Markelov, with Leclerc slowing dramatically on the final lap to allow teammate Fuoco to take the podium by just centimetres. It looked like the Briton had one hand on his 2nd place trophy, and the attention turned to the teams' battle: DAMS were 1st and 7th (31 points), RUSSIAN TIME were 2nd and 5th (28), and PREMA were 3rd and 4th (27) for a 3 point gap between the 3 teams, and the target moving to DAMS.
"Basically, for me, I wouldn't be here without DAMS," Rowland noted afterwards, "and I feel I owe them quite a lot. To give them the Teams' championship would be great, especially with Nicky as well. We've pushed the team extremely hard this year and they have delivered with the car, especially in the races: everyone will have their reasons for their team deserving it and that's mine, and I'll do everything I can tomorrow to make sure we do it."
But it wasn't long before the news came through: Rowland and Fuoco were disqualified, the Briton for a skid block which was too thin, the Italian for low tyre pressures.
It turned the maths, and the weekend, upside down: Markelov was now the winner, his 5th victory of the season, Leclerc was in P2 and Ghiotto rounded out the podium. The Russian was 17 points ahead and, with more wins that Rowland, Markelov was the 2017 vice-champion, while in the teams' title RUSSIAN TIME were almost certain of victory, 20 points ahead of PREMA with DAMS a further 10 points behind: the Italians would need both drivers to score big points, and their Russian rivals to score none.
Which isn't how it went, but that didn't mean there was no drama.
Sunday morning was pretty quiet, the last day of term, and with the test to come there was nothing to pack away so there were loads of team members sitting around, some in the sun out the back of the pits, more in the shade in the pitlane chatting, filling in the hours until it was time to go. The races were largely meaningless, with the title fights in both championships all but mathematically resolved, so it felt like the last day of school. At least no one was doing any practical jokes, or writing on each other's uniforms.
Eventually we traipsed back over to the main pitlane for the final time, the set up already under control and everyone waiting to get the race over and to get back to the hotel, for a drink, to relax and get ready for the end of season party. When the lights went out Albon made the most of his front row start, already a great turnaround from his qualy disappointments, by storming into the lead when poleman Jordan King bogged down, with Latifi in hot pursuit.
Behind them Markelov and Ghiotto chased down Leclerc to finish off the teams' battle in style: a few laps later the pair swamped King, with the Russian just tagging his rear as the Briton stopped with a puncture, but they were unable to close on Leclerc, who was moving forward and looked to close his great season on a high.
As the laps rolled down, so did the scalps for Leclerc – De Vries, Matsushita, Latifi – leaving him 4 laps to close and pass on his GP3 teammate and title rival. Albon was looking for the win to bring home some sort of redemption from a tougher season than he expected, Leclerc was looking for a cherry on the top of his championship cake, and the fight was on.
The Monegasque was clearly faster, putting himself all over the rear of the Thai driver almost immediately, but debris on the straight down to the marina meant yellow flags and no 2nd DRS area, which most of the drivers had been using for passes, handing an advantage to the leader. On the final lap Leclerc, frustrated for a couple of laps, threw his car up the inside into the sharp turn 7 entry to the long back straight, clattering into Albon and setting up a drag race all the way down to turn 8, with the Monegasque driver on the inside line.
Leclerc needed nothing more, leading Albon to the flag with Latifi a few seconds back, screaming with joy as he crossed the line. I walked from the podium to the press conference with Albon and Latifi: the Thai guy may appear to permanently happy go lucky, but there are times when it's clear that he's not open for a chat, and that was one of them.
Leclerc was still overjoyed by the time we got inside, and if he gave the usual quotes you'd expect in a press conference and perhaps thought he was going to pick up a penalty, as he later confirmed on his social media, it was clear that he was still happy to take the win on track, to get one over on a long-time rival however he could.
The Monegasque driver was whisked off to the F1 paddock once again, leaving the rest of us to walk back to our paddock together, sharing the load of helmets, drinks, trophies and bottles. Albon was already back to his usual self, assigning the race to a mental shelf and moving on, and we had a few laughs talking about the season now finished, and how it differed from the one they saw ahead of them at the start of the year.
During the ceremony there was another surprise for Penny: a specially-built Dallara Award awaited her, with Bruno coming on stage just to present it to her. The moment was enormous, overwhelming for her, and we all pretended not to notice as she quickly wiped a tear from her eye as she thanked everyone for their time, and their thoughts.
"Everyone's leaving," Angelina Ertsou, the PREMA head of PR and team coordinator, had said to me at the start of the weekend, and so it proved at the party where so many people were admitting as much as everyone did the rounds: it wasn't a goodbye as such, what with the test to come in a few days' time, but more of an update for each other, just to let them know the plans.
Sadly, I was not exempt this time either: for a number of un-noteworthy, personal reasons I'd come to realise over the weekend that it was to be my last in the paddock too. It added a piquancy to the event, a desire to see everything, to remember it for later. But that's not how life works: you have to be involved, be active in it, if it's truly to be a life.
And as most of the guests started to file out, so did we: to go on into the night, to do other things, to spend time together and enjoy each other's company, and to live our lives.

'Audit the Fed' bill passes House again
U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) Wednesday released the following statement after H.R. 24, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (Audit the Fed), passed in the U.S. House of Representatives with strong bipartisan support. H.R. 24 has over 220 cosponsors and passed overwhelmingly by a 333-92 margin.

Said Rep. Paul Broun, "Today's passage of the Audit the Fed bill brings us one step closer towards bringing much-needed transparency to our nation's monetary policy. For the past 100 years, the Federal Reserve, a quasi-government agency, has acted under a veil of secrecy – controlling our monetary policy and thus, our economy. While in recent years, the Fed has been granted a greater role in overseeing the regulation of our financial system, current law specifically prohibits audits of the Federal Reserve's deliberations, decisions, or actions on monetary policy. This lack of accountability and transparency has led to grievous consequences – and it must end.
"I applaud my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats alike, for their support of this vital bill, and I commend my good friend and former colleague Dr. Ron Paul for his leadership on this important issue. I strongly encourage Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to recall his past support for this legislation – which he stated as recently as 2010 – and to bring this bill before the Senate for a vote, so we may deliver the transparency and government accountability the American people need and deserve."

Adventure is calling your name! It's time to rekindle old friendships and forge new ones as SAGA takes us to Sugar Bowl. Enjoy 2 nights of family style accommodations, 2 days of spectacular skiing, and camaraderie unparalleled by any other ski organization in Northern California.
In 1938 Walt Disney was among the visionaries who helped pick this picture-perfect location and placed upon it the first chair lift in California. What Disney and his fellow adventurers found was a prime location near Donner Summit: a place of precipitous peaks, steep narrow chutes, and wide open bowls. But more than that, they picked a spot that receives more snow than almost anywhere in North America. On average, Sugar Bowl receives over 500 inches per year.
Sugar Bowl has everything, including beginner slopes, snowboard parks, long cruiser runs for the intermediates, and even some hair-raising cliffs and chutes to get the expert-skiers adrenaline flowing.
Saga has reserved comfortable, quality homes nestled in a nearby lakeside community of Soda Springs, just a few short miles from Sugar Bowl. These lovely quarters boast all the comforts of home, including expansive spaces, cozy amenities, and sweeping views. They will serve as the base of operation for all of our breathtaking adventures.
After a full day of action packed adventures on the slopes, we will gather back at the main house. From previous trips, we have changed the format: the Saturday evening dinner will be a potluck affair. So bring a special dish to pass and your beverage of choice. This is always a wonderful social event to help all of us to unwind and relax, play cards, visit old friends, and meet new ones.
Included with the price of the trip is a 2 day ski pass, lodging and evening amusements. Sign up now to come out and enjoy life at its finest.


We've been blogging regularly about the growth of video as a key trend in digital marketing. The amount of online video being watched is increasing by the day, and getting the content right in the first place is paramount to ensuring high levels of engagement, yet it is also very easy to get caught up here and slip at the final hurdle when making the final edit and amplifying your content on your channels.
As video has been proven to give significant return on investment when done right, here are our three most common pitfalls to watch out for.
Although it can be tempting to get as much content and key messaging in as possible for your brand, this is likely to end up doing more harm than good. Recent eConsultancy research shows that average viewing time for online videos is 1 minute 30 seconds. Whilst this will differ depending on the style and subject matter, and your video doesn't have to end at exactly that mark, it does pay to get your important points across within this time frame to have the best chance to engage people before they switch over.
It's amazing how easily a video can be lost in the online sea if the correct search terms and tags aren't used when uploading. This is the last thing you want as it makes the effort you put into producing the video a total waste of time. If YouTube description keywords sit in line with what your customer is naturally searching, your video will appear higher in the search results. Use a keyword analysis tool such as Google Analytics to generate suggestions, or even type in suggestions to the Google search bar to see what it suggests. If you're working with influencers, be sure to get their insights into what terms work well for their content.
When promoting your video, be sure to give it the best chance of people watching it by making it as easy as possible for them on the channels you use to amplify. For example, Business Insider reported earlier this year that people are now watching 100 million hours of video on Facebook every day, but much of this is the silent autoplay content in their news feed. This makes it all the more important for your content to get its message across visually – don't leave it all up to the voiceover. As an even simpler tip, be sure to upload the video itself rather than including a hyperlink to it in your post.
We predict the possibilities for video marketing will continue to grow, so it is vital to get the basics right now to keep scoring the best return on investment as the competition for views gets fiercer and the tactics get savvier. Bring on the next video revolution!

Chicago Nontraditional Family Attorneys
Offering Legal Services for Nontraditional Families in Illinois
At Anderson & Associates, P.C., we understand that families are structured in all kinds of ways. While the traditional nuclear family has many rights prescribed by the law, nontraditional families must often take additional legal action to ensure their rights are protected. Our firm assists all types of families in establishing their legal rights and making effective plans for the future.
Legal Counsel for Nontraditional Families in Illinois
The Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act, which became effective in June of 2011, established the right of same sex and opposite sex couples to enter into civil unions. Individuals joined by a civil union are now afforded the same state rights as married spouses in the State of Illinois. Federal rights, however, are still denied to civil union partners due to the Defense of Marriage Act. Our attorneys can help explain your rights and counsel you on the necessary legal steps you need to take to protect yourself and your family.
In addition to civil union partners, we work with other nontraditional families including unmarried heterosexual couples, unmarried same-sex couples, grandparents raising grandchildren, and any other type of family. We can provide legal guidance and services in a number of areas including:
Divorce and Nontraditional Families
Just as traditional marriages can end in divorce, the partners in a nontraditional relationship may also decide to separate. These cases involve dealing with many of the same issues that arise in a divorce including:
