Garfield alum creates futsal organization.
Garfield alum Gabe Rapier is working relentlessly to bring the unique culture of futsal to the United States, starting here in the Central District. Futsal, which originated between Uruguay and Brazil in the 1930's resembles street soccer but has a heavier ball, only five players per side, and is played on any hand-ball sized court. Ever since Rapier fell in love with the sport in 2006, he has been working to unify all different kinds of people and players with his organization, Puget Sound Futsal. When I sat down with Rapier, he described his journey and explained how Garfield helped to shape it.
How did you start playing futsal?
My co-founder Evan Hoss, who grew up in Paraguay, introduced it to me. Futsal is extremely popular in Central America, South America and Europe.
Soccer was my favorite sport, however it was so expensive to play on a team so I ended up playing basketball because it was all free. Soccer also wasn't as culturally available to me as basketball was because basketball was just the sport the African American males played. Now I want to change that status quo so that futsal is all inclusive of all like it is in many European countries.
How did your experiences at Garfield shape your inspiration to start this organization?
My high school basketball team gave me pride and skill, but it also taught me about commitment, which transferred over in my drive to spread futsal and its culture. I had great mentors and coaches that taught me that sense of grandness that I need. What I mean by grandness is that I never thought small time with futsal, I always thought how can we spread this even more and have my passion rub off on others so they grow to love the sport. I have great memories here and am a Bulldog for life.
Since you are a talented ex-Garfield basketball star, what specifically attracts you so much to futsal and its culture?
Futsal was very familiar to me. It has the same intensity, rigor, commitment, and fast pace as basketball. It's just such an exciting game, there's no time outs, no substitutions, no off sides. I love how it has casual, simple rules but is also intense. I also love how it brings all kinds of people together and I just love soccer.
Why are you picking Seattle and the Central District in particular to spread this sport and culture?
I'm basically dedicated to giving back to my community. We named our organization "Puget Sound Futsal" not "Gabe's Futsal League" because we wanted everyone in the community to be able to get involved with this. I believe in the term "think globally, act locally" and locally is here in the central district. We want to bloom where we were planted and act where we have ties but also have goals to expand on an international level.
If you are interested in playing futsal, you can go to the Puget Sound Futsal Facebook page for more information or contact Gabe at (206) 579-4163.

KEYWORDS 2013 Dealer Design Awards / 2016 Dealer Design Awards / Dealer Design Awards / HVAC New Products
Weil-McLain's Evergreen® boiler offers many features that make it a favorite: 95 percent AFUE performance, a 10:1 turndown, control logic customization, and more. And the 2016 Dealer Design Awards judges agreed by putting the product on a pedestal, naming it the gold winner in the contest's HVAC Light Commercial category.
Dan Karch, lead engineer, Weil-McLain, said every portion of the Evergreen boiler was designed with the contractor/technician in mind.
"Weil-McLain's product engineering team works closely with the company's marketing team, tech service department, and technical training managers to get customer feedback on what they need in a product, what they like about our existing products, and how we can improve," he said. "We take this information and apply it in every way. This is easily seen in how we designed the serviceability of removing the burner from the boiler and inspecting the heat exchanger. It is easily done by removing four bolts. Also, adding the setup wizard to our control makes it very simple to customize the control to the job site just by answering a few simple questions."
The product features ZoneStacking™, which equates to 24-zone capability without an additional external third-party control. ZoneStacking allows the Evergreen boiler to maintain efficiency through lead-lag rotation and balanced heat loading. Three selectable sequencing modes are built into the Evergreen: Series, Parallel, and SmartSequencing™.
"From an installation standpoint, it is easy to control, and the controls are very sophisticated, yet easy to use," said Rich Schulte, vice president, Schulte Heating and Air Conditioning in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. "There is a setup wizard that gets you started. You can have heat on as soon as the boilers are online."
Before the product was introduced to the marketplace in August 2015, it went through two years of development. Weil-McLain implemented and hosted hands-on product tear downs, surveys, voice-of-customer events, focus groups, and market research. Within its engineering team, the company employed scientific investigation of heat exchangers, high-efficiency combustion systems, and control capabilities. The company plans to continue to grow the application and user base for the Evergreen boiler with its applications extending to light commercial, large residential, institutional buildings, health care facilities, churches, factories, processing facilities, workshops, and more.
"At Weil McLain, we go above and beyond testing the reliability of this product over the course of development and testing," said Karch. "We tested this product in many different extreme conditions and sent boilers around the country for pre-production field testing. We also set up an eight-boiler system on-site to test out our sequencing strategies and control algorithms while heating our buildings and providing domestic hot water."
Karch said, thus far, the Evergreen has been well-received by the industry.
"Many people have commented on the Evergreen's control and its advanced features. As people gain experience with the control and realize how versatile it is for everything from a simple single boiler installation using the setup wizard to very complex multiple boiler or hybrid systems, they will continue to develop new ways to utilize it.
"I am proud of everyone that has helped out on this project," continued Karch. "Weil-McLain is full of a lot of great people trying our hardest to design and manufacture the best products out there."
Schulte said the Evergreen is definitely a product he'll continue to use. "The basic stuff that is pre-programmed into the boiler is great, but it can also be customized and tweaked easily, and they give contractors a very detailed instructional manual to understand."
The Energence Ultra-High-Efficiency 3- to 6-ton packaged units from Lennox Intl. Inc. earned the silver award in this category. The units are fully modulating and provide increased dehumidification to address the comfort needs associated with the outside air requirements of current building codes.
The system features a variable-speed compressor with inverter, which can be controlled by either a discharge air sensor or a 24-V signal (or direct digital control signal). The compressor and blower modulate speeds to maximize comfort, dehumidification, and energy efficiency. The system speed ramps up and down to match building comfort requirements. As the building gets hotter throughout the day, the system can ramp up in speed and capacity to match the load (up to full capacity).
"The innovative technology applied in this new family enables it to be compliant with the U.S. Department of Energy's [DOE's] 2018 and 2023 requirements," said Mike Ray, director, commercial rooftop units, Lennox Intl. Inc. "As Lennox positions the families for 2023, we will continue to conduct market research with contractors, technicians, and installers to understand what will make servicing these systems easier and more efficient."
The TEC3000 Smart Thermostat Controller from Johnson Controls Inc. is a light commercial building control that regulates environmental comfort, prevents damage to HVAC equipment, and controls energy costs. It is a combination of a smart thermostat and a field equipment controller. The TEC3000 earned the bronze in the HVAC Light Commercial category.
Two and a half years of research went into the development of the product, and, according to Robert Freimuth, manager, engineering, HVAC products engineering, Johnson Controls Inc., focus groups consisting of field installers and branch managers helped guide the product enclosure as well as features, including the interactive touchscreen display.
"The field installers were shown 3-D solid prototypes for feedback on enclosure design," said Freimuth. "A series of touchscreen display layouts were presented to the field installers regarding setup and configuring HVAC equipment networks. Valuable insights were gained through a series of questionnaires and direct feedback. We adjusted all our menus and layers of display screens to better serve our installers' needs in the field."

Nine post-war library buildings in England have been added to the National Heritage List for England, including the British Library, St Pancras.
This project looking at post-war public libraries stems from a larger project looking at the purpose-built public library in England from 1850-1985. It was precipitated by the closure and disposal by local authorities nationally of public libraries. It is believed that in the financial year 2011-12,123 libraries were closed or transferred out of local authority management. It is also thought that those which remain under local authority ownership are at threat of unsympathetic alteration.
Designed by Donald McMorran (1904-65) of the firm McMorran and Whitby. McMorran is regarded as one of the most sophisticated designers of neo-classical buildings in the post-war period. The library formed part of a scheme of three civic buildings designed by McMorran for Bury St Edmunds. It remains largely unaltered, externally and internally, and retains the majority of its original furniture, fittings and facilities including parquet floors throughout and an elegant stair hall; the Soanean qualities and central lantern are particularly noteworthy.
The library was designed as part of a civic complex and included a civic hall and set of meeting rooms, with an attached health centre and disabled unit. The library is notable for its modernist architectural ambition, boldly taking advantage of the benefits of scale afforded by an open site, and confidently referencing both Denys Lasdun's 1960-4 Royal College of Physicians and Le Corbusier in its form, whilst adding a more local, nautical reference in its use of giant porthole windows. Inside the library the layout remains largely as built. The main space rises dramatically through two floors to provide an open lending library, conducive to browsing, an enclosed children's library, and a more intimate, reference library, conducive to studying. The largely intact plan is enhanced by the survival of many original fixtures and fittings and their consistent treatment across the building, including original, angular timber bookcases, bold, geometric floor tiles, over-sized timber doors with horizontal oblong lights and solid timber doors, staircase and balcony balustrades with grey marble inlay, original peg boards for displaying art work, and a pottery tile wall mural in the former coffee bar.
Whilst the former disabled unit, entrance hall link block and health centre were designed as part of the complex, they are themselves of less intrinsic interest, in particular the health centre which does not demonstrate any particular innovation in plan form for the building type of this date, and so are not included in the listing.
Wallsend pioneered a new modular approach to the planning of libraries, building in an inherent flexibility to accommodate inevitable changes in the arrangement of bookcases, furniture and future reader services. The open-plan layout is entered by a wide vestibule with full-height glazed walls giving the building a welcoming, open character with vistas across the library and into the pivotal courtyard bringing natural light into its centre. The visual impact of the interior is reinforced by the over-arching modular grid of the coffered ceiling. Harry Faulkner-Brown was an influential architect in the field of post-war library design, developing key principles of good library design, many of which are apparent at Wallsend. Called his 'ten commandments', he went on to disseminate them widely through publication and international conferences, thus influencing many later libraries across the world.
Milton Keynes Central Library was a major addition to the commercial centre of the new town. The library has an imposing, monumental façade with skilful articulation of the geometric colonnade incorporating curved elements and details in rich russet brick. It was designed with reference to the surrounding buildings. The subtly detailed principal spaces are carefully arranged with the massing of spaces and ceiling heights appropriate to the activity, and on the first floor there's a clever integration of clerestory lighting and bespoke lighting fixtures. The library is also significantly enhanced by original artworks, particularly 'Fiction, Non-Fiction and Reference' by Boyd and Evans. The library as it stands today is the first phase of what was intended to be a much larger building, which would have included a museum and offices.
The library was built to a cost of £356,00 and was the showpiece of the Hampshire County Council Architect's Department, which was noted for its inventive and successful school buildings. The quality of the library is evident in its thoughtful planning, the structure and use of materials and in its fixtures and fittings, notably the mural by Graham Crowley which was commissioned at the outset. The library was well-received on completion, both in the architectural press and by the public, drawing large numbers, and continues in use, fulfilling its original function.
County libraries were the area of greatest growth in the 1960s, and West Sussex Library is a large and impressive example. The brief was for a lending library, a reference library and reading room, a library for music and drama, and office accommodation for the county library service, including a reserve book store and facilities for its vans (which provided a mobile library service and distributed books between the outlying libraries). The building is set between the large, but concealed, bulk of county hall – a building begun before the war by C G Stillman but completed only afterwards, and the narrow, historic Tower Street, at the south end of which is the cathedral. The two-storey circular form was in part a response to this setting, but F R Steele did have a penchant for circular libraries. The library was noted for its pioneering computer issue system, the first in Britain, and a computerised catalogue which was completed in 1973.
Architects: A.G. Sheppard Fidler and Associates, job architect B.W. Loren assisted by F.Fook; W.S. Atkins and Partners, engineers.
The futuristic exterior of Bourne Hall Library rather resembles a flying saucer. The interior is laid out resourcefully and compactly, with ancillary spaces wrapped around a central 'big top', and a mezzanine museum/exhibition space over- looking a semi-open plan reference and reading room areas. The main space is generously day lit from clerestory windows and roof lights, and incorporates wood and strip panelling between the exposed concrete ribs. The integration of a raft of community services – library, museum/exhibition space, hall, and rooms for study, meetings and socialising – under a big roof captures something of the inclusivity and breadth of ambition of the mid-C20 welfare state.
Architects: Henry Fedeski of Fedeski and Rayner Architects, built by George Wimpey and Co.
Lillington Library is an example of the first main phase of post-war library building, and thus is relatively early for its type, as a smaller branch library. It has a strikingly colourful façade in Festival of Britain style. It is relatively little altered, and importantly, retains its original aluminium glazing to the full-height curtain wall to the main elevation. Internally, the library areas have been refurbished, as is to be expected from a building in intensive public use, and the original paint finishes and flooring have been covered, but there have been no subdivisions or other changes to the layout. The private areas are very well-preserved, although the flats are now in use as offices. Henry Fedeski, who designed this library for what was essentially a new settlement, took care to consider the structure in its setting, its two-storey design balancing a block of flats on the opposite side of Valley Road, and its position, set back from the road, to allow for planting to soften and enrich the starkly new roads and buildings.
The British Library is an exceptional building for its quiet yet resolute architectural spirit and quality. It is both a scholarly haven and a welcoming public building with extraordinary interiors. Its contextual design successfully responds to the Grade I masterpiece of the Gothic revival, the St Pancras Hotel and Station, as well as skilfully incorporating a number of historic architectural references befitting its academic nature. It is a major work of an eminent British architect, possessing a high level of craftsmanship in execution and quality of materials and finishes. It also has historic interest as the country's national library, built around that tower of books, the C18 King's Library at its very core, over a 30 year period.

Mr Pantelis Antoniadis, president and co-founder of the Panhellenic Association of Swiss-Franc Borrowers (SIDANEF), became aware of the problem caused by the change of the exchange rate in his daughter's chf loan in 2011.
He began his personal battle against the bank by trying to communicate with them so as to find answers in key questions related to the structure of chf loans. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to get the answers he was seeking for. So, he began to write his story in the internet and that way he met other chf borrowers.
In 2014 he with other borrowers founded the Panhellenic Association of Swiss-Franc Borrowers (SIDANEF). Since then he has been trying to support, help and inform other chf borrowers.

Ever since they burst onto the scene in 1968, the sight of the famous Orange heraldic crest adorning an amplifier is a sure sign of quality. That continues to be the case today, even in their most affordable models, such as the solid-state Orange Crush 20, a portable and affordable 20-watt combo amp with enough punch to make your voice heard whether it be in a quiet gig, band reheasal or at home practice (although your neighbours will be glad to know that there's also a headphone socket built into it).
The sheer punch achieved through the Crush 20's custom 8" Voice of the World speaker is nothing short of staggering, with a commanding delivery that belies amp's modest footprint. Featuring an Aux In for backing tracks and a CabSim-loaded headphone output the Crush 20 is an obvious choice for players seeking the legendary 'Orange sound' in a practice amp format.
The all analogue signal path of the Crush 20 is evidence of Orange's commitment to continual use of analog circuitry, making sure that even the most affordable of models can produce that trademark Orange sound that we all know to expect when we see their famous logo adorning a speaker. The 3-band EQ section on the amp is the perfect finishing touch, with the whole package inspiring musicians to play their instrument and not their effects.
With detailed saturation and versitility, you get to experience a complex range of sound options hitherto unheard of in a practice amp. Play everything from crispy clean, to Orange's signature bluesy tube-like crunch, to an ultra-saturated high-gain metal sound without loosing any of that exceptional richness and clarity that Orange pride themselves on producing. Switch between the clean and dirty channels either via the amp's top panel, or via the optional footswitch.
Orange's trademark CabSim feature opens up a whole new world of headphone / recording options for your sound, allowing you to accurately emulate the sound of a mic'd Orange 4x12 cabinet loaded with Voice of The World Speakers and making any recording sound as authentically "Orange" as is possible without having to make use of the much bigger and more cumbersome alternatives.
The custom-designed Voice of The World Speaker housed in the Orange Crush 20 has been specifically created to deliver the perfect balance between modern low-end punch and vintage highs, meaning that no matter how hard you push it your guitar's tone remains intact, and the signal remains crystal clear.
The Orange Crush 20 is finished in black basketweave vinyl and it also features a woven speaker grille cloth, signature picture frame edging and the iconic hieroglyphs on the control panel that all users of Orange amps know and love.
Arguably the best practice amp in its class, it's no wonder that the Orange Crush 20 is one of our best-selling Orange products: for such a low price you get an awful lot of value, making the Orange Crush 20 perfect for beginners and travelling musicians alike. Order this product online today before 3pm to qualify for a fast, free and reliable next day delivery service. Finance options are available.
Features - Twin channel guitar amp combo with high gain preamp, 3 band EQ, aux im & Cabsim-loaded phones output.
Top Panel (Right to Left) - Instrument input, clean volume, dirty gain, bass, middle, treble, dirty volume, channel selector switch, aux in, phones output.


Bethany and I just watched a DVD called "Outsourced" about a guy from Seattle who has to go to India for work and deals with all the cultural differences. So so so funny, especially if you've been to India you'll laugh the entire way through. If you haven't been to India before, you'll just wonder what the heck they're taking about the whole time.
We laughed so hard at this part about Holi festival. The clip below is exactly what happens, but it's toned down in the movie... at least toned down from what we experienced in Kathmandu, Nepal.
And here is what we looked like after just a few minutes in the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal on Holi day.
I saw 'Outsourced' at the Bend film festival a couple years ago. I loved it. I bet it was even funnier for you guys.

Growing Up and Self-Discovery Theme Analysis
LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in How Does It Feel to Be a Problem?, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work.
While the seven individuals at the center of Bayoumi's book all face discrimination based on their Arab and Muslim identities, they are also just young adults trying, like people of their age everywhere, to determine who they are, what matters to them, and what they want to do with their lives. Most graduate from the confusion of adolescence, often exacerbated by 9/11, to the provisional certainty of young adulthood. All affirm their cultural identities in various ways, whether by pursuing religious work (Rami) or moving to the Middle East (Akram), committing to work for civil equality (Rasha and Yasmin) or choosing to marry within their communities (Omar and Lina). And while the challenges they face as Arab Americans inform their processes of self-discovery, these struggles do not ultimately define or constrain their senses of possibility. They cannot avoid living as second-class citizens, but they do manage to flourish in spite of it.
All of Bayoumi's subjects profoundly reckon with their identities, coping with the confusion and sense of sudden freedom that defines the lives of many American teenagers and college students, regardless of ethnic or religious background. For five of the seven, this confusion results from experiences closely tied to their Arab and Muslim identities. After her family moves from the primarily black neighborhood where she felt at home to a white neighborhood where she feels marked as "other" for her identity, Lina has a long rebellious phase and gets herself sent to Iraq as punishment. Rasha's detention and Yasmin's dispute with her school make them question their love for the United States and ability to find a place for themselves in American society. Akram's sense of belonging at school and in Brooklyn begins to erode after 9/11, when he and his family start getting singled out for being Arab, and Rami is devastated after his father is arrested in a post-9/11 police operation; he no longer feels fulfilled playing football and finds himself with nowhere to turn.
But these same experiences of cultural conflict also contributed to Bayoumi's subjects' sense of purpose. Rasha and Yasmin's tribulations lead them to pursue careers in human rights and law, respectively, in order to help fight the same kind of injustices they experienced. Rami finds his sense of purpose through the Qur'an and his theological discussions with other Muslim students in his college; he realizes that he can use Islam as a force for good, both by helping Muslims to live more virtuous lives and by helping improve understanding and relations between American Muslims and the American public at large. Akram, on the other hand, follows his newfound connection to his identity abroad, to Dubai, where he feels that he has a much better shot at "the American dream" than he does in New York.
But, while all of Bayoumi's subjects grow to better understand themselves and their relationship to American society through experiences of cultural tension, not all of them translate these experiences into career goals: Omar and Lina commit to marrying people who share their cultural backgrounds and sustaining their traditions; Sami, who also finds love, pursues his future by returning to New York, the place that is most central to his identity. When Omar's internship with Al Jazeera threatens his future job prospects, he is distraught: he originally found a sense of purpose after recognizing both bias and potential in American media, but cannot achieve his goals precisely because of the media's bias. He decides to focus on his other main goal instead: marrying Nadine in a traditional Palestinian ceremony, which is important to him because it allows him to help pass on his culture, which manages to thrive in diaspora despite not having a sovereign country of its own. Lina, too, decides to marry another Iraqi and pass on her traditions, allowing her to sustain Iraq—which she and Laith do not recognize anymore—as an idea and cultural practice. And after returning from his five years of military service, Sami has a one-track mind: instead of the leisurely road trip he had planned with his girlfriend Ana, he speeds his way across the country. His destination: New York City, his home, the only place he can imagine living.
At the end of their respective chapters, all of Bayoumi's subjects are heading into unknown waters with more or less defined senses of direction. While the author does largely focus on the discrimination and cultural uncertainties that affect them, he also shows how they all define themselves in spite of their struggles rather than letting these struggles define them. In the afterword to the book's new 2018 edition, Bayoumi briefly mentions what each of his seven portraits' subjects have done in the 10 years since he first wrote their stories. Akram did end up moving to the United Arab Emirates—so did Rasha, although they both moved back to Brooklyn and are now high school teachers. Yasmin has successfully become a lawyer and Rami is combining Islam with community development, as he hoped, working for the Muslim American Society in Texas. Omar did end up marrying Nadine, but not working in the media, and Sami and Lina have taken more roundabout paths, but both ended up in New York as well.

Yasmin Quotes
I was forced to submit my resignation due to the system's inability to understand my moral obligations. For example, my beliefs prevent me from having anything to do with drinking/dancing. When I was young, the system told me to stand up and fight for what I believe in. While now I am being told to do the exact opposite, instead I should give up what I believe in for some rules and regulations. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for what he believed in and gave up his life for it. I too am taking that same stand by giving up my position to defend what I believe in.

What happens when your homeland is in the process of disintegrating in front of your eyes? What do you do, especially when Iraq's turmoil has always hovered in the background of your life? Perhaps you do what immigrants to the United States and their children have done for generations. You build your own destiny from your American home while keeping one eye open to that which has been lost. And while your American life largely takes over, you still live somewhere between geographies, as you have for most of your life. It's just that the in-between has become harder than ever to locate.

Omar Quotes
"Look. It's like this," Eyad, a portly young Egyptian, explained to me. He leaned in to the table and put his weight behind his words. "Before, they went after the Jews, the Italians, the Irish. And now it's our turn. Everybody gets their turn. Now it's just the Muslims." He leaned back. To my ears these young men were living uneasily in an unresolved contradiction.
They acknowledged that the rights of Muslims were being unfairly trampled on, but they were seduced by the lure of owning a marketable skill (the Arabic language) that was currently in high demand. What they didn't voice was the idea that the culture of the FBI would be changed by their contributions to the Bureau or that civic participation was calling them to serve. They saw an open avenue, wide and empty of traffic, to a job, a profession, a career. It was as if the grinding pressure on their generation to succeed at any cost was taking precedence over everything else.

Rami Quotes
"Oh, man," he said. "I forgot a good ending!" He pursed his lips. "Sometimes you just forget," he explained.
"How did you want it to end?" I asked.
He paused to get the expression just right. "You come into the world crying while everyone around you is laughing," he said. "But when you leave this world for the next life, and everyone else is crying, you should be laughing." He summed up what he meant. "You've done good. Now all you have is bliss," he explained with wide eyes. "That's what I should have said."
The young imam was kicking himself and smiling.

With these two brand-new MAN TGX tractors joining their fleet, AJT Recycling has certainly 'raised their game'.
Catering for both the individual and larger companies throughout Swansea and the surrounding areas, AJT's metal recycling business has grown thanks to their hard work ethic combined with great customer service.
The latest trucks to join the AJT fleet are simply outstanding; these award-winning MAN TGX 26.640 trucks are amongst the most powerful trucks currently on the roads of South Wales. The MAN brand is synonymous with high powered trucks that are proven at working efficiently across a range of demanding commercial vehicle operations.
Supplied by MAN's number one franchised dealership in South Wales: W.G. Davies at Swansea, these two head turning units will soon be seen working around the roads of Swansea. "Understanding the needs of companies such as AJT is key to supporting a successful business when it comes to their transport needs," says Roger Davies, Managing Director of W.G. Davies.
Swansea based K & M Transport have taken delivery of two new MAN tractor units from our W G Davies dealership.


Ted Loukes is an independent researcher with a passion for ancient civilizations. His fascination with Ancient Egypt began when he was ten years old with a visit to the British Museum and the Treasures of Tutankhamun, a fascination that has lasted over forty years. This passion has led to the establishment of GnT Tours specializing in affordable private tours in Luxor, exploring the history, the archaeology and the Egyptology of Ancient Egypt.
Moses and Akhenaten: Brothers in Alms by Ted Loukes takes a fresh look at our most fundamental assumptions about these two men and ancient Egypt's fascinating history. Ted has taken characters that we think we know and presented scenarios that challenge our fundamental belief systems. He sheds new light on ancient Egypt's history, religious beliefs, social structure, and even proposes a far different chronology of events. Ted Loukes explains how our traditionally accepted timeline could be seriously flawed and pivotal events forced to fit false assumptions. Further, he illuminates how Egyptian religion and culture were far different from what we believe. Could Moses and Akhenaten have been brothers? Ted Loukes explores this fascinating question, and more!
I found Moses and Akhenaten to be a fascinating story. Ted Loukes puts us into the thoughts and beliefs of a people that were at variance with what we imagine. We assume that we know what these two enigmatic characters were like, but it turns out that everything we think we know is not as plausible as we believe. For example, Akhenaten probably recognized sunlight as the one creative life force, and did not worship the sun. Could his brother, Moses, have shared this concept and could this simple idea have been the basis of monotheism? I appreciated that Ted laid the evidence out for this and much more without forcing conclusions. Moses and Akhenaten takes us on a fascinating quest for knowledge. This well written, well-illustrated work is a treasure that will capture your imagination!
The book has been extensively researched and the complex detail is counter balanced by the clear and concise summaries that appear at the end of each section. There are also a variety of new images relating to the Heretic King and Amarna that I have not seen in other publications on this topic. Likewise the material and themes contained in the book will be of interest to those who are both new and experienced in this controversial area of Religious history.


We've added three new libraries to ViewMedica: Diabetes, Pediatrics and Pulmonology. Many videos in these libraries have been part of the General Healthcare library for a while now, but as we've added content, it has become possible to break them out as standalone libraries. If you subscribe to any videos in these areas, you'll notice the new specialties have already been added to your ViewMedica On-Demand player.
Converting these specialties into their own libraries gives special attention to their content. Pediatrics and pulmonology are specialties that we expect to grow even further as healthcare providers tell us what they need to better serve their patients. And, the diabetes library is an important set of content for providers to help patients understand and manage this growing concern.

In Fed We Trust: Ben Bernanke's War on the Great Panic
By: David Wessel
"Whatever it takes"
That was Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's vow as the worst financial panic in more than fifty years gripped the world and he struggled to avoid the once unthinkable: a repeat of the Great Depression. Brilliant but temperamentally cautious, Bernanke researched and wrote about the causes of the Depression during his career as an academic. Then when thrust into a role as one of the most important people in the world, he was compelled to boldness by circumstances he never anticipated.
The president of the United States can respond instantly to a missile attack with America's military might, but he cannot respond to a financial crisis with real money unless Congress acts. The Fed chairman can. Bernanke did. Under his leadership the Fed spearheaded the biggest government intervention in more than half a century and effectively became the fourth branch of government, with no direct accountability to the nation's voters.
Believing that the economic catastrophe of the 1930s was largely the fault of a sluggish and wrongheaded Federal Reserve, Bernanke was determined not to repeat that epic mistake. In this penetrating look inside the most powerful economic institution in the world, David Wessel illuminates its opaque and undemocratic inner workings, while revealing how the Bernanke Fed led the desperate effort to prevent the world's financial engine from grinding to a halt.
In piecing together the fullest, most authoritative, and alarming picture yet of this decisive moment in our nation's history, "In Fed We Trust" answers the most critical questions. Among them:
- What did Bernanke and his team at the Fed know-and what took them by surprise? Which of their actions stretched-or even ripped through-the Fed's legal authority? Which chilling numbers and indicators made them feel they had no choice?
- What were they thinking at pivotal moments during the race to sell Bear Stearns, the unsuccessful quest to save Lehman Brothers, and the virtual nationalization of AIG, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac? What were they saying to one another when, as Bernanke put it to Wessel: "We came very close to Depression 2.0"?
- How well did Bernanke, former treasury secretary Hank Paulson, and then New York Fed president Tim Geithner perform under intense pressure?
- How did the crisis prompt a reappraisal of the once-impregnable reputation of Alan Greenspan?
"In Fed We Trust" is a breathtaking and singularly perceptive look at a historic episode in American and global economic history.

Kulubá is an ancient Maya civilization city and archeological site in Mexico. It is located in Tizimín Municipality, northeast Yucatan, Mexico. The site contains a palace, an altar, ruins of two residences, and a round structure believed to be an oven. The palace measures   tall,  long and  wide, and is believed to have been inhabited between 600-1050 CE.

A 1,000-year old Maya palace was discovered in Kulubá in 1939, by American archeologist Wyllys Andrews.

Etymology
According to the Mayan language specialist, William Brito Sansores (The writing of the Maya, 1981), the name Kulubá, consists of the words K'ulu', which refers to a species of wild dog, and ha', water, that is, "water of kulu"

Transliteration of the Maya language has yielded several spelling variations. The name Kulubá has been commonly used in the 21st century. Andrews titled his initial article 'Culuba', starting with a C and omitting any accent on the a.

Site contents
Kulubá consists of three main architectural structures. They are believed to be residential sets of important lineages. Next to these have been stone alignments that were probably the foundations of large wooden structures. The site is about  in diameter and some 300 smaller structures had been discovered by 2009.

Group C
The main structure, called Group C, was discovered in the winter of 1939–1940. It is built on a base of two meters high and measures . The main building is the Masquerade Palace, a vaulted creak divided into six rooms. The main frieze has been lost, but it is known that in the corners there were Snakes of Toltec style and that the panels of the walls contained Chaac masks, with a clear influence of Chichen Itza .

Group B
On one platform stands the six-room building, the partially well-preserved back of which has a facade design that combines many elements of the Puuc style, but in a form that can be found both in the late Uxmal style and in Chichen Itza. For this purpose, the crumpled sembfelt sembrooms of the tripartite plinth are as characteristic as the cascades of Chaac masks, which are not, as in the Puuc style, related to striking architectural points, such as entrances and corners, and the division of the upper wall surface into fields with different décor. The south side of the building is badly damaged and no longer has any recognizable facade details.

At the right angle to the described building is another one with five rooms, from which the entrance to the middle is reminiscent of the Chenes-style snake-mouthed portals. The tripartite base with alternating smooth surfaces, sifting groups and fields with slanted grids corresponds to the mammalian style of the Puuc.

Group A
The only well-preserved structure of this group consists of five rooms in a row, with another arranged behind the larger central space. This floor plan is common in Chaac style. The facade decoration of the entire wall surfaces with cladding stones, which have a roughly horseshoe-shaped pattern, is atypical.

History of rediscovery
The first modern rediscovery efforts began in the winter of 1939 to 1940, with Wyllys Andrews' trip to the Yucatan specifically to explore the site. In 1965, Victor Segovia Pinto visited the site, and in 1980, the INAH Yucatan Center began restoration.  In 2017 and 2018, significant funds were allocated to its restoration. Scientists were exploring a possible reforestation of the area to protect it from weather damage.

The Fast and the Furious – Vin Diesel
March 16, 2016 March 16, 2016 - by entertainmenttalk
Vin Diesel was born on July 18, 1967 and was originally called Mark Sinclair Vincent and is an actor, writer, director and producer. He also has a twin brother, a younger brother and a sister. Diesel first started to become known in the early 2000s for his roles in the incredibly successful The Fast and the Furious and xXx. A little know fact about Vin Diesel is that he has founded 3 production companies which are One Race Films, Tigon Studios and Racetrack Records.
Vin was born in New York City to his mother Delora but he has never met his biological father. He was raised by his stepfather who was an acting instructor and theatre manager.
He first became involved in the theatre in an unusual way. He an some friends broke into Theater for New City's space on Jane street with the intention of vandalising it. When they entered the building to their surprise they were met by the Theater's Artistic Director who enrolled them into an upcoming show rather than calling the police. From that point on Diesel has had an active role in the Theater and entertainment.
He changed his name whilst he was working as a bouncer at a New York City nightclub because the true identity of a bouncer is never given out to the public. The 'Vin' part of his name is simply a shortening of his surname whereas the Diesel part was given by his friends who said he ran off Diesel because of his non-stop energy.
Diesel has a daughter with his model girlfriend Paloma Jimenez who was born on April 2, 2008. Vin says that although the majority of his roles are as a hard man in reality when it comes to his daughter there is definitely a softer side.

And we're rolling
Feature by Pat H. Broeske
Forget visions of sugar plums. This holiday season, a roster of Hollywood-themed entries summon up lingering images from beloved movie classics, among them The Wizard of Oz, Stagecoach and Wuthering Heights, as well as from kooky cult favorites, including TV's wonderfully eccentric "Doctor Who."
Of course, some cult films go on to become classics. In development for a decade, A Christmas Story was released in November 1983 with little fanfare and to mixed reviews. Ticket sales were surprisingly solid, but MGM pulled the movie from theaters after only five weeks—before Christmas—to make way for Barbra Streisand's Yentl. No offense to Babs, but over time, it's the modest tale of Ralphie Parker and family that has triumphed. It's now an annual tradition that brings in an estimated 50 million viewers.
A Christmas Story Treasury celebrates the little movie that could. This is an interactive book with sound buttons that trigger eight famous quotes—delivered by the film's narrator and writer, Jean Shepherd—and a packet of ephemera, including a "Merry Christmas from the Parkers" greeting card. Author Tyler Schwartz produced the documentary Road Trip for Ralphie, and he's also affiliated with the Cleveland-based A Christmas Story House & Museum. So, yes, he's a fan, and his book is for those who share his love for this holiday staple. I triple-dog-dare you to dislike this book.
FANTASTIC MR. ANDERSON
Cult film maestro Wes Anderson—whose oddities include Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom—is the subject of The Wes Anderson Collection, featuring film-by-film conversations between Anderson and critic Matt Zoller Seitz.
Seitz has been interviewing Anderson intermittently since 1993, when Seitz was a rookie film critic for the Dallas Observer and Anderson was making a 12-minute, 8mm movie called Bottle Rocket, which he co-wrote with then-unknown Owen Wilson. Seitz calls this book "a tour of an artist's mind, with the artist as guide and amiable companion." Included are nods to Anderson's influences (such as Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and the film Sex, Lies, and Videotape), his favorite music, his filmmaking habits (he heavily annotates his frames and, à la Hitchcock, does detailed storyboards) and more.
With an introduction by Michael Chabon and clever Andersonian artwork by Max Dalton, this coffee-table book is also heavily illustrated with stills from Anderson's films. The stars are familiar—including Owen and Luke Wilson, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman and Anjelica Huston—but if the titles aren't, this book may prompt you to add a few of them to your Netflix queue.
For lavish production it's hard to top Majestic Hollywood: The Greatest Films of 1939, which features sumptuous production stills and behind-the-scenes candids from some of the greatest movies ever made, starring some of the greatest stars Hollywood has ever known.
Author Mark A. Vieira, who specializes in celebratory books about Hollywood's Golden Age, looks at 50 films of a landmark year. They include Gunga Din, Stagecoach and Wuthering Heights, as well as star vehicles such as The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, The Roaring Twenties with tough guys Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney, and Ninotchka with the legendary Greta Garbo. Let's not forget Basil Rathbone as the ultimate sleuth in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, or young Shirley Temple in the teary The Little Princess. And then there was The Wizard of Oz, which had already gone through 10 writers, three directors, two witches and two tin men when director Victor Fleming came aboard—and the rest is history. As for the cherry on top, that would be Gone with the Wind.
Each film merits production highlights and critical reaction—and the aforementioned production stills from master photographers such as George Hurrell. That kind of artistic photography is now "gone with the wind," as is the style of filmmaking that made 1939 a year to remember.
TIMEY WIMEY
For time travel fans, and for those who follow the exploits of the eccentric Time Lord known simply as the Doctor, there's Doctor Who: The Vault.
The BBC-produced series is watched regularly in the U.S. by 2 million viewers; worldwide, there are 77 million. Not bad considering the show's shaky beginnings. After a rocky period of pre-production, it debuted in November 1963, one day after the assassination of JFK.
Author Marcus Hearn enjoyed enviable access to the BBC's "Doctor Who" archive and to those of private collectors. The result is a beautifully produced chronicle of the series.
In the last 50 years, 11 actors have portrayed the Time Lord—the result of his ability to "regenerate." In various incarnations, the Doctor has been jokey, earnest, gray-haired, a youthful 26 and so on. He travels in a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), which usually resembles a 1960s British police box.
All this is explained in depth by Hearn, who looks at the costumes, weapons, monsters and promotional items of the series. There are accounts of the comings and goings of writers, directors and producers; differences over storylines and programming approach; and movies that influenced the series, including Frankenstein and classic Westerns.
Should the phenomenon have passed you by, don't pass up the book. The Doctor will see you now.

Q: Best way to import csv with "1232,12" as number I want to import a csv that has this configuration
c1,c2,c3
1,"32,12",A
2,"23,43",B

I am trying to import it using either fread (from library data.table) or read.table, but c2 is always impoted as a character column. I know I can convert it to number, but what I am expecting is to import it directly as a numeric data.colum
What I have tried is:
data<-fread("/home/mydata.csv",quote="")
data<-fread("/home/mydata.csv",quote="\"")
data<-fread("/home/mydata.csv",dec=",",quote="\"")

But both does not work as I want to do
Thanks in advance

A: Use read.csv2. Apparently it read your data at the first try.
dat <- read.csv2(text = '
c1,c2,c3
1,"32,12",A
2,"23,43",B
', sep = ",", quote = '"')

dat
  c1    c2 c3
1  1 32.12  A
2  2 23.43  B

P.S. data already is the name of a base R function, it's better to use something else.

To worsen, the negative impact of these scandals can help to eliminate earnings of commodity-related companies, causing stock values to fall further while allowing other of these firms to capture more share of the market. In this manner, when the problem of these scandals doesn't get solved correctly, holding stocks of commodity-related firms may cause investors to suffer while commodity prices still rise.
In addition, commodity-related firms can fake their balance sheets and report greater earnings to raise their stock values. If the investor be careless and find out this as optimism for the organization, it might spell disaster for him when such lies get uncovered. This could make the investor to bleed money while other investors bring in profits in the rising commodity prices.


Unbelievably, I've now been in Japan for nearly two weeks. I've started work, found accommodation, (mostly) unpacked, got a phone plan … now I just need a bank account and I'll be all set to work here indefinitely. Many things have happened over the past couple of weeks, but here's a selection of the most interesting.
I was only meant to be in Changi (Singapore) airport for an hour waiting for my connection through to Tokyo, but thanks to a delayed flight I ended up there from 5am to 9am. Turns out Changi is a great place to spend the early morning, especially when Singapore Airlines gives you a breakfast voucher to apologise for the delay.
Spoiler alert: Singapore is not midway between New Zealand and Japan. It's considerably off route, so my journey ended up taking nearly 24 hours, instead of around 14 with Air New Zealand. Singapore Airlines are great to fly with, but not great enough for me to want to put up with that journey again.
"Three fields in the port" is a uselessly literal translation of "Mita, Minato-ku", the district where my office is located. I dropped in there on my second day to meet the team and get my fancy new laptop, then wandered over to the waterfront for lunch.
As usual, I then rather misjudged the scale of Google Maps, and headed off towards what looked like a medium-sized temple park just down the road. Twenty hot and muggy minutes later, I discovered a large and variously-styled park next to the enormous temple of Zōjō-ji, which I discovered later is the main temple of one of Japan's largest Buddhist sects.
With nothing particular planned that Saturday, I looked up "weird things to see in Tokyo". Obviously there were several thousand instant recommendations, but a couple in particular caught my eye. The first was a parasite museum, where you can see all manner of preserved parasites, sometimes still attached to their hosts. I decided to take up a rather more wholesome suggestion which happened to be on the way, and went to see a pond in Roppongi which apparently contains the descendents of fish that were born in space as part of a zero gravity experiment. I didn't see any fish, but it was a nice pond, I guess?
With no great eagerness to proceed to the parasite museum, I wandered around looking for lunch, and happened to spot that the art gallery in Roppongi's fancy central tower had an interesting-looking architecture exhibition. Turns out the museum (which is on the 53rd floor) also has a viewing deck which gives you a spectacular look at Tokyo.
The exhibition itself didn't blow me away, but it was a fun way to kill a couple of hours. The most interesting part was a series of depictions and models of traditional wood joinery, the art of building wooden structures that last for hundreds of years without using nails. It's fascinating to examine an intricate interlocking joint and try to work out the purpose of each cut. Well, fascinating to me, anyway.
This picture is pretty self-explanatory, but for context: I went to Akihabara, the "electric town", to look for some bits and pieces for my room, and happened to notice people doing one of the other things on the "weird things to do in Tokyo" list I mentioned before. This is real-life Mario Karting, where you get to cosplay as characters from the game and drive around in go karts on the main road.

Legislation only part of the answer
Yesterday's convictions of a brutal gang which committed 'unforgivable acts of cruelty' against vulnerable girls are a shocking and stark reminder that modern slavery takes many different, disturbing guises.
The gang preyed upon young girls and trafficked them across the West Country to sexually exploit them, subjecting them to unimaginable violence and humiliation. Some of these young girls were raped in a local Premier Inn. The grooming was calculated, leading to the heartbreaking testimony of one girl who told the police 'Even though I know they were using me for sex and that, sometimes it's just nice to be close to someone'.
The CSJ has worked to highlight the reality of modern slavery in our towns and cities. For too long it has gone unnoticed. Work is underway to change this, with a new Modern Slavery Bill which will help in prosecuting cases, amongst other measures. An Anti-Slavery Commissioner has now been appointed, with high hopes he will champion the cause of victims of this terrible crime.
This new legislation is a big step forward, but the chambers where it is being debated are a million miles from the tragic reality of yesterday's case. Legislation is only part of the answer. Local police need to be equipped to spot the signs of modern slavery, and so do social workers. Many of the girls brutally abused by this gang were known to be at risk but were offered little supervision or support. Unless the momentum behind the new Bill reaches the frontline, little will change. Resources and training are crucial if we are to break this awful pattern of abuse.


Goalscorer-in-Chief: Russian President Vladimir Putin readies himself for the task ahead yesterday at Sochi's Bolshoi Ice Palace.
News that Vladimir Putin was skating and scoring on the ice yesterday wasn't really news: the 62-year-old Russian president's love of hockey is as well-known as his penchant for archaeology and for riding bare-chested on horses. He was at the Bolshoi Ice Palace taking part in a "gala" game dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the victorious end of the Great Patriotic (a.k.a. the Second World) War.
Putin's team was also Slava Fetisov's, and they lined up with Pavel Bure, Alexander Yakushev, and Sergei Makarov as well. It will shock no-one to learn that they won by a score of 18-6, or that Putin scored eight of his team's goals. The fact that Sergei Shoigu, Russia's defence minister, added a hattrick — that, I own, caught me a little off my guard. Recognized as the game's best player, Shoigu was rewarded with a trip to the Crimea. As a satire enthusiast, I wish I'd invented that last detail, but no, it's true enough.
I was checking in on Canada's semi-final at the World Championships yesterday afternoon when I saw the Putin news. Feeling good about Canada's team in Prague, I'd decided that they were strong and confident enough to do without me watching the whole broadcast of their game with the Czech Republic and that I — and they — we could get away with updates on my iPhone.
And so it proved. Taylor Hall had just scored, on a pass from Sidney Crosby; Jason Spezza would add another goal to guarantee the 2-0 Canadian win. The Putin story was just filtering out by that time, along with news from the other semi-final where (also unaided by my viewership), Russia dismissed the U.S. by a score of 4-0.
That's when my eyes began to open to the bigger picture. Of course. President Putin wasn't just playing in a friendly game of pick-up by the Black Sea. He was, as Putin likes to do, sending a message. Sometimes they go out disguised as unmarked armoured columns headed west, towards Ukraine, while on other occasions they resemble air-force bombers skirting along the edges of foreign airspace.
Mostly, messages Putin sends have a distinct sabre-rattling sound, but who says they can't also clack like hockey sticks on ice? Anticipating that today's Prague final would pit Russians against Canadians, Putin knew what he was doing. The fans in Sochi may have enjoyed Putin's goals, his preening, but they weren't the intended recipients. Even as he entertained them, he was trolling us, Canadians, marking his territory, telling those of us who hold the maple leaf high that when it comes to ice, that's Russian territory, as it ever was, just like with Crimea and Novorossiya.
I don't know why we haven't responded. That's what puzzling. When I say we, I mean, of course, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Diplomacy dictates that if Canada wanted to answer a display like Putin's, it would have to come from the PMO. Is it possible that they missed it? That Putin sent his message and it wasn't received? I don't know how else you could explain Ottawa's silence. Are you telling me that the PMO couldn't at short notice have organized a game at Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre to answer to President Putin? Maybe last night would have been pushing it, but what about this morning? The Conservative Party is always dialling up instant crowds of hard-working Canadians to backdrop the PM as he pretends he's not already electioneering, so how hard would it have been to this morning?
As for players to skate, well, what's the Cabinet for other than to lace 'em up whenever the boss calls, needs interference run, a screen in front of the opposition's net/pertinent inquiry during Question Period. And it's not as if actual hockey players are in short supply around the capital — Ottawa not only has a whole NHL team of players with nothing to do, they're called the Senators, after our national chamber of sober second-thinkers (mostly) beholden to the man who appointed them.
It would have been easy to outdo Putin at his own game — that is, at our game. Harper could have taken to net, maybe even played both ends, skated away with a pair of shut-outs, awarding himself a trip to Kurdistan. That would have shown the Russians.
I'm not saying our lack of leaderly showing-off is going to make any difference in today's final in Prague: what happens there is up to the Crosbys and Eberles and Ovechkins and Malkins. All I'm saying is, I don't know — either our PM isn't the prince of propaganda I took him for or else he was genuinely impressed by Putin's feat of never scoring fewer than two hattricks in any game he's ever played. I guess that could explain why Stephen Harper held himself goalless this weekend.

Method Meets Art, Second Edition: Arts-Based Re...


Wikipedia defines financial planning as "a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's current pay and future financial state by using current known variables to predict future income, asset values and withdrawal plans". This definition, while technically correct, is almost unbearable to read, even for a financial planner. Financial planning is not about picking the right stocks or bonds. Rather, it's about recognizing that in life we have two primary finite resources and they are time and money. Determining how to best maximize them is the ultimate goal.
So, is financial planning an art or is it a science? Financial planning could be considered an art that uses scientific tools. As a financial planner, I love getting to know my clients as people with their hopes, dreams and fears. It allows me to use advanced techniques to find the best solutions for them.
Financial planning combines interpersonal skills and intuition with financial theory mixed in with a lot of applied knowledge. A good financial planner helps provide a framework for answering those difficult questions and navigating the financial complexity that oftentimes comes with becoming a millionaire.
• They should be certified.
• Experience: Your potential financial planner should be able to provide proof that they know what they're doing.
• Fees and conflicts: Identify how they are compensated. This should give you a better understanding if they're paid by fees only or if compensation should be factored in.
• Standard of care: Take a look at the track record of the company for which the planner works. Be sure to check their background. Your financial planner should be able to devote adequate time and energy to each client.
• Working relationship: Similar to the previous requirement. Before you sign on the dotted line be sure to understand how often you'd be able to meet or interact with your planner.
Financial planning is not the end, but rather a means to an end, and this is precisely why the art of financial planning matters.
Financial planning has been an aspect of finances from the very beginning. But, the relatively recent designation, according to the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards in Denver, indicates that there are more than 94,000 certified financial planner (CFP) certificants worldwide. In The Bahamas there are about 150 CFPs who can give valuable advice. As the demand rapidly increases worldwide, we in The Bahamas will follow suit. More and more people are getting more financially conscious due to the national narrative and genuine desire to be financially comfortable. The financial literacy of a country is paramount to its overall success.

Q: headless browser or browser control with ajax/javascript/proxy and multithread support? I've looked around on lots of messages here but am yet to find one browser control or headless browser that allows me to multithread and configure proxies per thread as well as supporting ajax/javascripts.
I've tried to far:

*

*awesomium - works pretty well if I made a separated application to spawn for each thread I need to run but not what I am looking for.

*simplebrowser - works well but the js/ajax manipulation is too weak to consider

*nhtmlunit - works far too complicated to get up and running on c# and doesnt work well

*watin - can't instantiaty private session and cant have proxy per instance

I've tried others too but these were the main ones I recall the tests.
If awesomium was able to do multithread that would be a awesome but I heard they will be only doing that on further releases, it was the best one so far.
Could anyone recommend me other for testing or that are capable of doing the above asked ?
My main goal here is to automate tests on a local network website.
UPDATE:
Correct me if I am wrong, but unlike watin, selenium webdriver(will try and test it in a few) seems to need a remote server running aside from the application itself to control the browser, still looking for alternatives.
UPDATE2:
Have been able to do multithread with chromiumdriver + Selenium and c#, however it uses an incridible amount of memmory for just a few threads on top of spawning multiple cromiumdrivers + browsers:
Fire multiple threads:
_tasks = new List<Task>();
foreach (ProxyList item in _proxy)
{
            // using it directly it doesnt get passed down to the function
    string proxy = item.Proxy;
    string host = item.Host;
    _tasks.Add(Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
    {
        ChromeGetIp(proxy, host);
    }));
}

Chrome
private void ChromeGetIp(string proxy, string host)
{
    string dir = Application.StartupPath + "\\" + host;
    ChromeOptions profile = new ChromeOptions();
    profile.AddArguments(new string[] { "-proxy-server=" + proxy, "-incognito", "--new-window", "-user-data-dir=" + dir });
    IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(profile);
    driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://checkip.dyndns.com/");
    if (driver.PageSource.Contains("Current IP Address"))
        MessageBox.Show(driver.FindElement(By.TagName("body")).Text, host);
    else
        MessageBox.Show("Failed", host);
    driver.Quit();
}

Is other ways to make this lighter to be worth using for several threads ?

A: I'm looking for a similar solution, finding driving automation using headless HttpWebRequest next to impossible for anything with JS. Ie, 99% of the internet.
Anyway - Selenium does not need the server, unless you want to do things remotely. If you're looking to write some C# to drive your browser, on the same machine - you're good to go with Selenium.
Explains it here:
http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html
Edit: Had to edit this answer, as I cant comment (wasnt logged in when I answered).
If you want to do headless browsing - or at least where the browser isn't visible, you can set it up as a service. That will execute as System and the browsers will not be visible to you. It DOES get memory heavy, but unless you're going to run 100 browsers at once, it's really no problem for any modern computer. And be sure to Quit() the browsers when necessary/when service ends.
As for the proxy - you can't set it with IE, but Firefox will take it in with Capabilities, which is what Im doing.

A: Any reason to reject the usual Selenium/Firefox combination?

A: So far the best solution I have found was using awesomium, it uses very little memory when used headless, allowing me to spawn lots of processes, compared to selenium and others solution and have a good support for AJAX, JavaScript, proxy, and more.
For the time being I will leave my own answer marked however if anyone posts a better option that meets my requirements I will change it.

Q: MASM32 lnk2001: unresolved external _WinMain@16 I am following Jeff Huang's windows assembly tutorial and essentially copied the code on pages 11-12, yet MASM32 doesn't recognize WinMain... Here is my code copied from the .asm file:
initialization & function prototype:

.data:
.data
HelloWorld db "Hello World!", 0
ClassName db "WinClass", 0

.data?
hInstance HINSTANCE ?

and the code begins:
.code

start:
start:
invoke GetModuleHandle, NULL
mov hInstance, eax
invoke WinMain, hInstance, NULL, NULL, 0
invoke ExitProcess, 0
end

with an end start here, I get a linker error for _WinMain@16. The unrecognized WinMain (I added a global but it didn't help):
global WinMain proc hInst: HINSTANCE, hPrevInst:HINSTANCE, CmdLine:LPSTR, CmdShow:DWORD

.else
    invoke DefWindowProc, hWnd,uMsg, wParam, lParam
    ret
.endif
xor eax, eax
ret
WndProc endp

end start

I assemble and link with
masm32\bin\ml /c /Zd /coff hello.asm
masm32\bin\link /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS hello.obj

which are the commands used for the earlier messagebox example, and I understand are the right ones.
Minor note: it's all on my G: drive, but that shouldn't matter.
I get the 2001 unrecognized identifier linker error for _WinMain@16 and _WinMainCRTStartup
I've gone over it again and again, and any other questions I've found that were similar didn't help. Many thanks in advance to anyone who figures out what I'm missing.
Also, I've tried it in VS2010 with MASM, same error unfortunately.

Right-winger Ted Saunders played 18 games for the Ottawa Senators in 1933-34. He was a consistent goal scorer who excelled in the minors and senior leagues.
The Ottawa native played with the senior New Edinburghs in his hometown then moved on to the Iroquois Eskimos of the NOHA. During the early 30s he was a top scorer in the Can-Am League and found the back of the net a league high 29 times for the Boston Cubs in 1932-33. The next year he split his playing time between the NHL and the minors after a trade brought him to Ottawa.
Saunders returned to the Can-Am league and led all goal scorers again with the Philadelphia Arrows in 1934-35. The next year he earned a place on the Can-Am second all-star team. Saunders later scored well in the AHL and AHA before switching to senior hockey. In 1942 he led the Quebec senior league with 31 goals in 40 games and retired in 1944 after topping the Nova Scotia loop with 17 goals in 10 contests for the Truro Bearcats.

Kama Sutra Records was started in 1964 by Arthur "Artie" Ripp, Hy Mizrahi and Phil Steinberg as Kama Sutra Productions, a production house. The "Kama Sutra" is an ancient Sanskrit text.
In 1965, the company was joined by Art Kass and the record label itself was started. A distribution deal with MGM Records was later signed, which lasted from 1965 until 1969. From 1969 onward, distribution was then handled by co-owned Buddah Records.
The record company ceased in mid-1976 but restarted in 1981 as Sutra Records. Under this moniker, Kass marketed and distributed Fever Records, Blue Dog Records, Baila Records, Becket Records, and signed and recorded the Cover Girls, the Fat Boys, Victor Willis, and many more before the company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 1993. The 1965-1976 Kama Sutra catalogue is now owned by Sony Music Entertainment and managed by Legacy Recordings. The 1981–1993 Sutra catalogue is controlled by Unidisc Music.
^ Alan Betrock Girl groups: the story of a sound 1982 p.148 "Back on the East Coast, Kama-Sutra Productions turned out a series of girl-group records with Stacy Cane, The Juliettes, Ann Marie, The Petites, and The Pussycats."

Home » Product Launch »
ams AG, a provider of sensors and analog ICs, introduced two evaluation kits intended for designers who wish to integrate an indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring circuit into portable devices such as smartphones + wearables and home + building automation devices such as thermostats and IP cameras.
The CCS811-LG_EK_ST kit combines two environmental sensors from ams:
CCS811, a gas sensor system-on-chip (SSoC) uses low-power sensor technology to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an indoor environment. The CCS801-DF_EK_ST kit features a CCS801 VOC gas sensor with an external MCU instead of a CCS811.
ENS210, a relative humidity and temperature sensor IC which achieves very high accuracy
The CCS811 includes an embedded microcontroller which runs ams algorithms to convert raw sensor readings into equivalent total VOC (ppb) and equivalent CO2(ppm) measurements. These can be used to provide a measure of IAQ. The measurements of relative humidity and temperature taken by the ENS210 allow the system to adjust the digital output of the CCS811 by compensating for changes in the ambient environment.
Used together with the ams algorithms, the CCS8x1 and ENS210 sensors provide a solution for IAQ monitoring which consumes little power and has a small board footprint, making it suitable for a wide range of portable applications.
The evaluation kits provide a way to configure and operate the sensor system, and to log and view its measurements. Each kit consists of a sensor board with an I2C digital interface, a USB-to-I2C board and a USB cable. The board is supported by a free graphical user interface for a PC based on the Windows operating system.
Designers can start up the CCS8x1/ENS210 sensor board by plugging the kit into a PC's USB port and launching the downloadable GUI software. In the GUI, users can choose one of three pre-defined operating modes: sampling at 1s, 10s or 60s intervals. Graphs of raw sensor data, relative humidity and temperature measurements, equivalent total VOC and equivalent CO2 levels are logged and displayed in the GUI.
