\begin{abstract}
Numerous observations confirm that the high energy $(> \unit[100]{MeV})$ emission of gamma ray bursts is delayed with respect to the low energy emission.
However, the difference of light curves in various high energy bands has not been studied properly.

In this paper we consider all the bursts observed by Fermi-LAT since 2008 August 4 to 2011 August 1, for which at least $10$ events with energies $\unit[1]{GeV}$ or higher were observed.
There are $4$ of them: GRB 080916C, GRB 090510, GRB 090902B, and GRB 090926A.
We study their light curves in two bands, $(\unit[100]{MeV}, \unit[1]{GeV})$ and $(\unit[1]{GeV}, \unit[300]{GeV})$.

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is used to check whether the light curves for these two bands are the same.
No significant difference was found for GRB 080916C and GRB 090510.
However, we observed with statistical significance of $3.3 \sigma$, that the higher energy light curve of GRB 090926A is stretched with respect to the lower-energy one, and with statistical significance of $2.3 \sigma$, that the lower energy light curve of GRB 090902B is stretched with respect to the higher-energy one.

We suggest a simple geometrical model to explain this result.
The main assumption is the jet opening angle dependence on radiation energy -- the most energetic photons are emitted near the axis of the jet.
We also assume that all bursts are the same in their rest frames (that is their light curves differ only because of different redshifts and different view directions).
To test this model, we compute the total energy of the burst, and confirm that it is below the constraint.
We also compute the fraction of observable bursts in $(\unit[100]{MeV}, \unit[1]{GeV})$ band, which can also be observed in higher energies.
This fraction matches the observations.
We predict the distribution of observable stretching factors, which may be tested in the future when more observational data become available.
Finally, we propose a way to estimate observer's off-axis angles (view directions) based on stretching factors and fractions of high energy photons.

\section{Introduction}
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are among the most energetic events in the Universe, therefore they might provide new knowledge for particle physics.
Modern observatories, specifically Fermi \cite{Ackermann:2012kna} and Swift, \cite{Gehrels:2004gu} made it possible to study these explosions extensively \cite{Vianello:2013ela,Gehrels:2013xd}.
These and previous studies led to several interesting results.
For example, the total energy emitted in gamma-rays during a burst was found to be similar among different bursts within an order of magnitude \cite{Bloom:2003wy}.
This suggests that the majority of the bursts must have similar energetics in their rest frame.
Temporal variations of spectra were also studied.
The spectral lags were found between different low energy bands \cite{Yi:2005ht}.
The very high energy radiation was discovered to be extended relative to the x-ray emission \cite{Castignani:2014gaa,Lange:2013uh,Vianello:2013ela}.
In this study we continue this research and explore the spectral variations between energy bands $(\unit[100]{MeV}, \unit[1]{GeV})$ and $(\unit[1]{GeV}, \unit[300]{GeV})$ (we call them low and high energy bands throughout the paper).
We use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to compute the time stretching of radiation in one of these bands compared to the other.
Results obtained with this approach are discussed in section \ref{sec:data}.
Then we propose a simple geometrical model to explain these results in section \ref{sec:model}.
Finally, our study is summarized in section \ref{sec:summary}.

\section{Fermi LAT Data}
\label{sec:data}

We take the GRB list from the Fermi-LAT catalog \cite{Ackermann:2013zfa}, and use the technique introduced in \cite{Rubtsov:2011qq} to estimate background radiation in both energy bands.\footnote{Detailed description of computations in this and the next section can be found in the extended version of the paper on GitHub.}
Most of the bursts in the catalog, however, do not have enough events with over $\unit[1]{GeV}$ energies to do desired computations, so we choose only those bursts, from which at least $10$ photons were detected in the high energy band.
This leaves $4$ of them: 080916C \cite{Tajima:2009az}, 090510 \cite{Ackermann:2010us}, 090902B \cite{Abdo:2009pg} and 090926A \cite{Bregeon:2011bu}.

For these 4 bursts we compute both high and low energy distributions of photon times.
We subtract the low energy background estimate from the low energy CDF, and add the high energy background estimate to it.
This makes the low energy CDF non-monotonous and, rigorously speaking, we cannot use the 2-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test on it.
However, since there is a much greater number of photons on lower energies, we can think of the low energy CDF as continuous.
Therefore, this non-monotonicity will be negligible, and will not harm the KS-test results much.

Finally, we stretch the high energy CDF by different factors, and compare it to the low energy CDF using the KS-test.
If we require $2\sigma$-significant probability to exclude a particular stretching factor, then the stretching factor of $1$ (which means no stretching) is allowed for GRBs 080916C and 090510.
For the other two bursts the stretching factor of $1$ is, however, prohibited.
For GRB 090902B, it is smaller than $1$, so the low energy light curve is stretched with respect to high energy one (see fig. \ref{fig:grb090902B}).
And for GRB 090926A, even more dramatic deviation for the stretching factor of $1$ is observed in the opposite direction.
The high energy light curve of GRB 090926A is stretched with respect to low energy one with a factor of at least $1.99$ (see fig. \ref{fig:grb090926A}).
You can see allowed ranges for stretching factors for all the bursts studied in table \ref{tab:bursts}.

\end{table}

So we obtained a preliminary (note that its significance is less than $5\sigma$) result that the stretching factors for observable bursts might be both larger and smaller than $1$.

\section{Model}
\label{sec:model}

We propose that time stretching of GRB light curves can be explained by the curvature effects (that is the effects of jet geometry) even if all the bursts are the same in their rest frames.
These effects were explored by multiple authors \cite{Nakamura:2001kd,Shen:2005ea,Shenoy:2013cba}.
However, these studies were only concerned with x-ray radiation, and, even more importantly, they assumed that the distribution of radiation sources is homogeneous throughout the jet.
We propose a contrary idea: that the highest energy radiators are concentrated near the axis of the burst, meaning that the burst opening angle depends on energy.
We cannot prove this assumption rigorously, but have arguments supporting it.

First of all, there are around 750 GRBs detected by GBM, half of which were in the LAT field of view at the moment of observation \cite{Vianello:2013ela}.
However, only about 30 of them were detected by the LAT, and only 4 of them were bright in the high energy band.
If we extrapolate the uniform jet model to very high energies, this observation would mean that these groups of bursts are internally different: some of them produce VHE radiation, and other do not.
These differences are hard to explain given that burst energetics are similar \cite{Bloom:2003wy}.
Nevertheless, these differences in burst counts can easily be explained by our model.
In our model, the opening angle of a jet is inversely proportional to the energy of photons it radiates.
Therefore the most common scenario is that the off-axis angle of the observer is smaller than the low energy jet opening angle, but larger than the opening angle of a high energy jet.
Because of that, most of the bursts can only be seen at low energies.
The 4 bursts we study in this paper were seen, according to our model, from the lowest off-axis angles.

Second, consider the plasma right after its ejection from the central engine.
Two processes happen here simultaneously:
\begin{enumerate}
	\item{Particles near the jet boundary change their movement directions, therefore increasing the opening angle of the jet.}
	\item{Particles lose energy, therefore decreasing radiation frequency emitted by the jet.}
\end{enumerate}
We argue that these two processes are correlated, for they happen due to the same particle interaction processes.
And since they are correlated, jets with larger opening angles should have lower energies, which is the assumption we are trying to justify.

You can see why this assumption allows for non-trivial stretching factors in the figure \ref{fig:modelOverview}.
More rigorously, the model is defined by the following assumptions:
\begin{enumerate}
	\item{
		Time $t = 0$, a spherical shell of plasma is emitted.
		The center is called the central engine.
	}
	\item{The shell points propagate with a constant velocity $v = \frac{\sqrt{\gamma^2-1}}{\gamma} \sim 1$, so at the time $t$ the radius of the shall is $v t$.}
	\item{Each point of the shell is an isotropic radiator in its rest frame.}
	\item{
		The radiation intensity is a function of the radiator position and the radiation frequency:
		\begin{equation*}
			\eta\left(r,\theta,\omega\right) =
			\frac{\eta_0}{1 + \left(\frac{r}{r_0}\right)^n}
			\exp\left(
				-\left(\frac{\theta}{\theta_0}\right)^2
				\left(\frac{\omega}{\omega_0}\right)^{-2k}
			\right)
			\left(\frac{\omega}{\omega_0}\right)^\alpha
		\end{equation*}
		$\eta$ is the number of particles emitted per volume per solid angle per frequency.
		It is a function of the distance $r$ from the central engine, the off-axis angle $\theta$, and the radiation frequency $\omega$.
	}
\end{enumerate}

\begin{figure}
	\centering
	\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{modelOverview}
	\caption{
        Model Overview.
        Here lighter and darker cones represent the regions through which low and high energy plasma propagates.
        In case depicted the observer's off-axis angle is smaller than the opening angle of the low energy jet, so, due to the relativistic beaming effect, the most of the observable low energy photons will travel along the straight line from the central engine.
        Also, the observer's off-axis angle is larger that the opening angle of the high energy jet, so the high energy radiation will still originate near the center of the jet (because it is the only place where there are high energy radiators).
        The observation time of a photon is a sum of two things: the time interval spent in plasma as a radiator (which approximately equals to the distance from the central engine to the point of emission); and the time interval from emission to detection (which is the distance from the point of emission to the observer's location).
        Given a position of the shock front, this sum is larger for high energy photons.
        Because of that, high energy emission will be observed later throughout the burst duration, therefore the high energy light curve will be stretched.
        }
    \label{fig:modelOverview}
\end{figure}

The burst is fully specified by the following set of parameters (we assume these parameters to be the same for all bursts, the specified values are obtained by fitting to make possible observed bursts from section \ref{sec:data}):
\begin{itemize}
	\item{$\gamma = 300$, the relativistic factor of the shell, $\gamma \gg 1$.}
	\item{$\eta_0 = \unit[4.63 \times 10^{34}]{sec^{-3} GeV^{-1}}$, which defines the luminosity scale.}
	\item{$r_0 = \unit[3.14 \times 10^6]{sec}$, the characteristic jet length; $r_0 \ll \frac{1}{H\left(0\right)}$, $H\left(t\right)$ is the Hubble parameter;}
	\item{$n = 23.0$, which determines the sharpness of the jet end, $n > 3$;}
	\item{$\omega_0 = \unit[1]{GeV}$, a characteristic radiation frequency;}
	\item{$\theta_0 = 7.93 \times 10^{-5}$, the opening angle of the jet for radiation with frequency $\omega_0$, $\theta_0 \ll 1$;}
	\item{$k = -0.654$, which determines how much the opening angle changes with frequency, $k < 0$;}
	\item{$\alpha = -0.724$, the bare spectral index, $\alpha < -2k - 1$}
\end{itemize}

Numerical simulations based on these assumptions are able to reproduce both stretching factors smaller than $1$ (like of GRB 090902B) and larger than $1$ (like of GRB 090926A) depending on redshift and observer's off-axis angle (see fig. \ref{fig:sampleLightCurves}).

	\label{fig:sampleLightCurves}
\end{figure}

To test the model against observations, we computed a few more things:
\begin{itemize}
	\item{
		Total energy emitted in $\unit[100]{MeV}$ and more energetic gamma rays $E < \unit[5.89 \times 10^{53}]{GeV}$, which is in agreement with \cite{Gehrels:2013xd}.
	}
	\item{
		Distribution of stretching factors of observable bursts.
		You can see the PDF and the CDF of it on fig. \ref{fig:kappaDistribution}.
		This distribution doesn't contradict with the values of stretching factors obtained in section \ref{sec:data}.
	}
	\item{
		The fraction of bursts observable in low energy band, which are also observed in high energy band $f_m = 0.110$.
		The Fermi LAT catalog contains $35$ bursts out of which $4$ can be observed in high energy band.
		Therefore the observed value $f_o = 0.11 \pm 0.05$ (error obtained from binomial distribution) agrees with the model.
	}
	\item{
		There is a correlation between the fraction of high energy photons (that is high energy photon count divided by the total photon count), the stretching factor and the observer's off-axis angle (see fig. \ref{fig:correlations}). It allows one to predict observer's off-axis angles.
	}

\end{figure}

So our model, though with some discrepancies, is able to explain the time stretching result from section \ref{sec:data}.

\section{Summary}

\label{sec:summary}

Our study can be summarized in 3 main points.

First, the time stretching of GRB light curves between different VHE bands, in particular $(\unit[100]{MeV}, \unit[1]{GeV})$ and $(\unit[1]{GeV}, \unit[300]{GeV})$, is discovered with statistical significance of $3.3\sigma$.
This time stretching might be positive or negative (that is higher or lower energy light curve is stretched) depending on the burst.

Second, this time stretching effect can be explained with curvature effects, that is effects of jet geometry.
There is no need to introduce any new spectral components.

Finally, we can assume all GRBs to be the same in their rest frames.
The internal burst parameters (such as $\gamma$, $\eta_0$, $r_0$, $n$, $\omega_0$, $\theta_0$, $k$ and $\alpha$) might stay the same for all bursts, and this assumption is more or less consistent with existing observations.

However, there are some caveats, and directions for improvement.

First of all, the model prediction and observations are not completely consistent.
If you look at fig. \ref{fig:correlations}, you will see that the stretching factor of GRB 090926A is too high compared to the model prediction.
It appears that parameters of the model cannot be fitted to account for it (without ruining agreement with other observations).
More data should be analyzed to see whether the problem will be exacerbated, and some refinement of the model might also be required.

Second, the shapes of light curves produced by the model (see fig. \ref{fig:sampleLightCurves}) differ considerably from observed ones (e.g. fig. \ref{fig:grb090902B}).
Most importantly, the slope of light curves produced by the model is zero at $t = 0$, even though the slope of observed light curves at $t = 0$ is not only non-zero, but appears to have a maximum.

Third, the assumption of plasma energy dependence on off-axis angle should be better justified.
This might probably be done using hydrodynamic simulation of the jet.

Finally, even though it appears that bursts are similar in their rest frames, they cannot be exactly the same.
The differences in masses, metallicities, angular momenta of progenitor stars, and the differences in local conditions around them might account for differences in light curves of GRBs (or, even, for especially large stretching factor of GRB 090926A).
It means that minor variations of model parameters might be necessary on burst per burst basis.

It seems, however, that all these problems are not unresolvable, and may be addressed by refining the model without changing its main assumptions.

The planes, too, can give you additional information about the area around you and add other objectives to your map. Dead Living Zombies, meanwhile, will pit players against the zombie hordes in multiple scenarios that are inspired by B-movies. Never get into a helicopter in a cutscene: it's just not gonna work out. Overall, I really enjoyed Hours of Darkness. . Destroying all the radios is one of your extra tasks, but I hated to do so because her threats were so amusing.
Our main character is Denny, who, together with the expedition, moves to another planet in search of life beyond the earth. The final stand in particular involves a number of big guns as you fight off wave after wave of enemy soldiers and helicopters. But if the story is about a team getting to an extraction point, it seems odd to make that an open-world thing. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. The ambition is simple: let players be the builders for a change and let the developers do the playing.
When an attempt to arrest Seed ends with the deaths of several lawmen, the player is swept into the armed conflict between Eden's Gate and the remaining Hope County residents, who are organizing themselves into a resistance movement. When his helicopter is shot down, our hero stays alone in the enemy territory and has to save his companions and then reach the evacuation point. We want to promote the ideas that are the most interesting, or crazy or innovative. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. Once you have wriggled free from your communist captors, you can make a beeline for the evac zone marked a couple of clicks north.
Those who purchase the season pass will also get the single-player campaign from. Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars The weirdest addition to the Far Cry game from Ubisoft, the game takes us to Mars. The map was fun to explore, and gameplay differs enough from Far Cry 5 so even basic takedowns feel fresh. Without spoiling anything too much, it will be interesting to see if Hurk makes it to an eventual Far Cry 6. So what do you think? So what do you think? That said, your chunk of the Vietnamese warzone is not littered with icons as the other games are, and you can race to the finish when you see fit. If you own Far Cry 5 and the season pass you can fire this up on June 5th.
What is the Far Cry 5 DLC and when are the release dates?
We caught up with Associate Producer Phil Fournier to find out more. There even are areas that transport you back to an altered Montana to help connect you to the Far Cry 5 universe. Far Cry 5: Dead Living Zombies The extension that gives the game a completely different meaning, we will face zombie hordes. Going back after finishing the final mission will start a new game. The creators of the crazy game, also made sure that the additions were also very crazy and varied.
Hours of Darkness puts you on an entirely new jungle map to do your Far Cry thing in, filled with new outposts, jungle cats, P. That said, combat in the game is disappointingly action-oriented, lacking in any and all stealth elements. I can see how his constant commentary and unwillingness to shut up might possibly be off-putting for some people, but for the most part, I was consistently amused by the writing for his character, and his dynamic with Nick. In the video at the top, you can see the perks coming online as I make those stealth kills, then they go dark when I'm spotted. After a routine patrol goes sour — and with the ensuing.
Got the taste for active service? The most useful is the Gravity Belt, which basically acts as a short-range jetpack so players can easily bounce around the planet. The imposing red rock canyons tower overhead as you walk along, always wary of where the rock ends and the sand starts. As mentioned, you can beeline to your extraction point in just over an hour. The upgrade will include an updated version of as well as three bizarre new pieces of downloadable content. Unlike the basic version of the game, however, dłc puts the emphasis on sneaking and acting in hiding.
Hours of Darkness is set during the Vietnam War, where players take on the role of an American soldier fighting to make it back to safety after a helicopter crash. Combining the two elements of a jetpack and low gravity can also make for some fun firefights where you will be airborne and hovering around for long stretches. It is scheduled to be released on March 27, 2018. During the game, at once we find out that we are not alone on the island and that the bloodthirsty zombies rule it, once again we have to save our crew and clean the island from this scourge. Odd, however, is the absence of the drugs system which allowed you greater speed and damage if you craft certain narcotics. Ubisoft clearly expects us to spend the time doing these sidequests. That is, of course, by design, but in its attempts to do so, Lost on Mars loses some of the best aspects of a Far Cry game.
Information on the map is scarce, so most of the world is covered in fog and darkness until you walk there yourself. Aside from their own narrative-driven adventures, the three expansions will have something of their own to add to Far Cry Arcade. Not only does it change gameplay in fun and meaningful ways, it is huge and offers a healthy amount of content. While your soldier buddies can be revived if they are hurt, they will be gone forever if they die. Ubisoft The latest addition to the Far Cry series has proven to be popular with fans, staying top of the for the second week in a row.

Picnic The Streets is een Belgisch collectief dat via een picknick oproept tot burgerlijke ongehoorzaamheid. Sinds 2012 worden symbolische plaatsen bezet als oproep tot meer leefbaarheid en levenskwaliteit in de stad. De eerste Picnic in Brussel kreeg navolging in Luik, Namen en Antwerpen. Naast strijd voor duurzame mobiliteit is er ook een streven naar meer groenruimte door bijvoorbeeld het openstellen van het domein van het Kasteel van Laken. Meer abstracte oproepen als Picnic the 19 gemeenten vonden tot nog toe geen gehoor.

Centrale lanen Brussel
Op 24 mei 2012 lanceerde Philippe Van Parijs een oproep om te picknicken op het Beursplein voor een stadscentrum zonder gemotoriseerd verkeer. Hij publiceerde de oproep in BRUZZ en Le Soir nadat een studie aantoonde dat Brussel de hoogste filedruk had van alle Europese steden. Hij putte inspiratie uit een protestpicknick die in 1971 heeft geleid tot een autovrije Grote Markt en er kwam er nadat het magazine The Bulletin deze plek The most beautiful parking lot in the world had genoemd. Bram Dewolfs zorgde voor een facebookevent en op 10 juni kwamen meer dan 2000 mensen het Beursplein bezetten. Het idee kwam op de politieke agenda en na een tweede editie in september werd het autovrij stadscentrum een speerpunt bij de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen van oktober. In juni 2014 kwam er een volgende editie omdat de plannen met mini-ring en vijf extra parkings niet tegemoet kwamen aan het verminderen van de autodruk.

Op 29 juni 2015 werd het Beursplein autovrij gemaakt in afwachting van volledige heraanleg, Gemotoriseerd verkeer werd ook verboden in de Anspachlaan, de Henri Mausstraat, de Beursstraat, de Ortsstraat, de Jules Van Praetstraat, de Paul Devauxstraat, de Steenstraat, de Karperbrug, de Borgval, de Sint-Michielsstraat (partim), de Finnisteraestraat, de Zuidstraat, de Eikstraat, de Kolenmarkt (partim), de Kiekenmarkt (partim), de Gretrystraat, het Fontainasplein (partim), Plattesteen, de Spoormakersstraat, de Magdalenasteenweg, de Lievevrouwbroersstraat, de Antwerpsepoort, de Leopoldstraat, de Moutstraat en een deel van de Stalingradlaan. Fietspaden werden gemarkeerd in de Dansaertstraat, de Visverkopersstraat, Arteveldestraat, Keizerslaan, Cellebroersstraat, Zwarte Lievevrouwsstraat, Bogaardenstraat en Zespenningenstraat.

Tijdens de voorlopige inrichting kwam een openbaar onderzoek dat schijnparticipatie werd verweten. De heraanleg van de voetgangerszone liep veel vertraging op. In 2016 werden na kritiek van enkele handelaren terug auto's toegelaten op het de Brouckèreplein en een deel van de Zuidstraat. Verschillende straten in de voetgangerszone werden gerenoveerd zoals de Karperburg, Grétrystraat en de Zuidstraat. Vanaf september 2017 werden het Brouckèreplein, Fontainasplein en Beursplein gerenoveerd dankzij financiering door Beliris volgens een ontwerp van de architecten van SUM Projects.

PIECES OF A DREAM
Keyboardist James Lloyd, drummer Curtis Harmon, and former bassist Cedric Napoleon, founded Pieces of a Dream in Philadelphia in 1975 when the principal members were all teenagers. Lloyd, Harmon and Napoleon, were (and still are) managed by the Harmon's father and uncle, Danny and Bill Harmon. Originally somewhat jazz-oriented, the group has mostly emphasized R&B, although a few jazz numbers are typically included in their performances.
Their name is based on Pieces of Dreams, a cover tune by Stanley Turrentine that the group performed.
They first started playing throughout the Tri-State area, and were soon featured on Temple University's pioneering jazz radio station, WRTI-FM. Long before the "Young Lions" era of Wynton Marsalis, Lloyd and Harmon were swinging so hard as teenagers that the great Count Basie once proclaimed them "a tough act to follow."
But it was another jazz legend, the late Grover Washington Jr., the sax man who made Philly his home, who helped Pieces of a Dream become the internationally known stars they are today. After quickly becoming popular around Philadelphia, the trio landed a spot as the house band for a local television show, City Lights. Their experience broadened as they played backup on the broadcasts to a wide variety of artists, and that's where Washington first heard them. One day while the teenagers were playing at the Bijou (where Grover had recorded his Live at the Bijou album), he sat in with them to play "Mr. Magic."
Soon Washington announced that he was starting a production company and that Pieces of a Dream would be his first act. Lloyd was only a senior in high school when his first record came out!
From 1981 to 1984, Pieces of a Dream built their reputation with three albums on Elektra that would come to define the musical essence of the smooth jazz radio explosion: Pieces of a Dream, We Are One and Imagine This. Those seminal records yielded some of their earliest hits, including "Warm Weather," "Mount Airy Groove" and "Fo Fi Fo."
Soon after completing Joyride, their last effort for Elektra, they moved to EMI/Blue Note and went on to record seven more albums. (During this period, the group amicably parted ways with long time friend Cedric Napoleon.)
In 2001, Pieces of a Dream signed with Heads Up International and celebrated their 25th anniversary with what was undoubtedly their best album in years, Acquainted with the Night. The group's silver anniversary release featured guitarist Ronny Jordan, vocalist Maysa Leak, and saxophonists Gerald Albright and Kenny Blake. Highlights included compositions from Albright and Michael Bearden, along with remakes of "Mahogany" and "Upside Down." Acquainted with the Night generated two top-five singles on R&R's NAC chart. The follow up album Love's Silhouette also scored top radio chart positioning and Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart top 10 status. Their No Assembly Required was released in 2004 on Cleveland's Heads Up label, followed by 2006's Pillow Talk, also on Heads Up. Their most recent release, Soul Intent hit shelves in 2009.
Join Pieces of a Dream on Wednesday, August 31st for a memorable close to another fantastic Smooth Cruise Season!

MacWhirters in administration
UK: Long-established air conditioning and refrigeration contractor MacWhirter Limited has gone into administration.
Richard Hawes and Matthew Cowlishaw of Deloitte were appointed as joint administrators of the 133-year-old, family-run company late on Friday.
In a statement, the administrators announced 52 redundancies, with the retention of three staff in order to ensure an orderly wind down of the business and to protect the value of work-in-progress on several contracts.
Richard Hawes, joint administrator and partner in Deloitte's Restructuring Services practice, said: "The Company has recently experienced losses from several contracts due to poor margins being achieved. As a result of which, the Company was unable to continue to trade and the Directors took the decision to place the Company into Administration on 3 July 2015."
The failure of the business follows the sad death of the company's driving force, CEO Tony MacWhirter, in January.
The company was founded in 1882 by William McWhirter, great grandfather of the recently deceased Tony MacWhirter. Although initially involved in electrical engineering, in 1934 the Cardiff branch of the firm took over the local Kelvinator agency and began to specialise in refrigeration. Subsequent years saw a continued emphasis on sales and service of refrigeration equipment and industrial air conditioning units and the opening of offices in Bristol, London and Horsham.

UK: Tony MacWhirter, a hugely influential figure in the UK air conditioning and refrigeration industry over the last 30 years, passed away last week. Read more…

Two more students arrested at Rome High on Friday, makes five students in last week. Recent arrests include charges of battery and disruption of a public school.
Two more Rome High students have been arrested this week at the school. According to Floyd County Jail reports, Bryan Gustavo Elias-Sontay, 18, and Alexander Ramirez-Chavez, 19, were both arrested Friday and charged with simple battery and disruption of a public school. Two other students were arrested on Tuesday and Wednesday and another last Thursday.
A week ago, a Rome High student — already facing weapons and drug charges from an August arrest — was jailed on charges of marijuana possession as well as three counts of carrying weapons within school safety zones and functions or on school property. Rome Police said a teacher smelled marijuana on Kaleb Logan Broadaway, 17, and then a search was conducted of his vehicle, producing the suspected drugs and weapons.
Zechariah Travion Williamson, 17, was arrested Tuesday at 1000 Veterans Memorial Highway — Rome High's address — on charges of affray (fighting) as well as disruption of a public school. He has since posted bond and be released from jail.

Q: Router events not executing in unit test I am trying to test my router.events, but the events are not triggering, and I am not sure why. I have tried this with no luck.
Here is how I have my test setup:
describe('AppComponent', () => {

Guide: How to Run for Office and Win
Voter Contact
How to Run for Local Office

When deciding to run for office, most people can name elected offices on a federal level—president, senator, congressperson. It's not as easy to name local offices. Sure, more memorable positions, such as mayor, come to mind pretty quickly, but the types of offices you can run for vary from state to state at both the state and local levels.
When you're a first-time candidate, local office is a great place to start. The budget and overhead costs are lower than for higher levels of office, which lessens the pressure on you to fundraise. Plus, the fundraising you do for a smaller campaign can help you build a stronger support base for later, larger campaigns.
Still, even local campaigns can prove challenging. It's not always easy to identify which offices are available and up for election. All political campaigns—including yours—should start with extensive research geared toward building a successful campaign. Such research will tell you the best office to run for based on your experience and support.
With that in mind, this guide will help you find your place in local government. We'll show you where to look to find the region-specific information (elected offices, campaign costs, contribution limits, etc.) you need to build the foundation of your political campaign.

Technically, you can run for any local office for which you meet the qualifications. The better question is, what local office should you run for? The answer depends a lot on your personal experiences, which will play a major role in determining what office you choose to run for.
For example, are you better suited to the state-level executive or legislative branch? Or to an even more local position, such a town council or school board? Your goals for the community will also play a role in helping you make that decision. But whatever the case, you first need to know what local elected offices even exist around you.
The best place to start looking is online. However, the type of website you'll look for will depend on your state. Some states have election sites, while others store information about local political offices on the relevant Secretary of State website.
Here are a few examples of where to access information in a few states:
Texas has an extensive collection of candidate information/resources on the Texas Secretary of State website. There, you'll find that the local government holds municipal elections, school district elections, and other district elections (e.g., for water and hospital districts).
Florida has a Divisions of Elections that has information about state and local elections. Each county in Florida also has its own elections site to access information even more specific to your area. These websites will help you find the county, city, and district offices up for election.
Both states have abundant campaign resources to help you research, qualify, and apply for your campaign. However, the resources are collected and structured in entirely different ways.
You can use these local websites to find information for many aspects of your campaign. For example, you can find the information below:
Your state and local websites will have contact information for elected officials in your area. These details are often early pieces of information that help you determine the political ecosystem of your area. You'll want to know:
Who is the local incumbent?
What party are they affiliated with?
How long have they held the office?
Are they running again, or are they retiring?
State and county websites will also feature pages that help. Here are a few examples:
Election result archives
Upcoming election pages
Lists of candidates in current elections
Some of the pages that helped you learn about current officials can also help you understand how people in your area are voting. State and county election sites often have collections of voter and population data, and that data can show you voter registration, voter turnout, and the competitiveness of the district.
Information about voter demographics, voter turnout, and voting histories will let you know how many votes you'll need to win and what kind of canvassing and Get Out the Vote strategies to use.
You can get a better idea about the amount you will need to raise by checking the financial reports for candidates in past elections. As one example, see the screenshot below of the Maine Campaign Finance website.
Just on this one page, you can find total contributions for the year (a running tally that will update quarterly with fresh reports), see who is contributing, and see how much they're contributing. There's even a way to look up candidate data by office and by county. You can sift through committee data and finance disclosures as well.
California's campaign finance data is presented differently, however—highlighting how information can vary in presentation across states. There are links to information about top contributors, filing requirements, campaign finance activities, and lobbyists. See the screenshot below from California's Secretary of State website:
On the site, a Power Search feature also allows you to look up information about ballot measures and independent expenditures. Want to search for data by election cycle? You can do that too.
The lesson here is that every state will have a different way of organizing and presenting this data. But however the information is presented and organized, you want to find the overall budget range for the office you're running for. Then look through the fundraising and expenditures of your competition to get the best picture of what it's going to take for you to mount a serious campaign.
Local office is generally the least expensive office level to run for (barring larger metropolitan areas). Still, you likely need to raise thousands of dollars to compete.
Once you put together a basic overview of the amount of cash you need to raise, it's time to build a budget for the campaign. Here's what your budget will need to consider:
Staffing costs
Political marketing costs (mail, digital advertising, television, etc.)
Overhead costs (website domain fees, office rent, etc.)
What you need to spend in the case of a competitive primary
What field and GOTV programs you'll need to win
You'll also want to consider your fundraising potential, which we'll discuss a little later. For now, let's focus on how some of these expenses might look for a local election campaign.
In general, local elections are less competitive relative to the top of the ticket. Sometimes, just the fact that you're running for the office (or that you've raised money early in the campaign) is enough to discourage potential opponents from entering the ring.
If you're facing competition from within your party, however, your budget will have to include more primary election costs than if you were running unopposed. You'll need to spend more to get an edge against your opponents. These costs can include marketing to get your campaign's message out among your voters to earn their votes.
General elections will usually feature an opponent from the opposing party. The types of expenses associated with general elections are similar to those in primary elections (marketing, canvassing, staffing, etc.). General elections are normally more expensive than the primaries. You'll ultimately need more supporters to win the general than you did to win the primary.
A bid for local office won't require a large campaign staff. The staff you do hire will likely only need to work part time, given that there's plenty you will be able to do yourself. Still, it might be helpful to have a campaign manager, treasurer, and finance director (or fundraising consultant). A field director who can coordinate canvassing efforts may also be necessary, especially as Election Day draws near.
Like most political candidates, you can also use consultants to help with your campaign. Political consultants are people who specialize in running political campaigns. Need help with the overall management of the campaign? General consultants can help.
There are also consultants who specialize in different areas of the campaign. For example, a finance consultant would help your campaign raise money. You could also opt to have a team of media (mail, digital, television, etc.) consultants who work together to coordinate all of your marketing materials.
The latter example might not be useful for a local campaign, but using consultants can generally give you campaign expertise while keeping staffing costs down.
There are several strategies to use to gain support for your run for local office. Here are a few:
We'll briefly review these strategies in this guide, but check out our How to Run for Office and Win guide for more in-depth breakdowns on all of the topics discussed here.
You can secure contributions in a number of ways. The first step is to research and compile a potential donor list. Include everyone you know. Yes, everyone. In fact, compiling the list is a great time to reconnect with old acquaintances and colleagues. Dig deep, and create a full list of people who might support your candidacy.
Remember, you're not asking for personal loans. You're running a campaign and entering into public service. That notion is partly why candidates kick off their fundraising with personal loans. Investing in yourself shows people that you're serious about your campaign.
Friends, family, and acquaintances are also the foundation of your fundraising. Your personal connections with them pave way for introductions to other potential supporters. Local elections are ultimately more intimate than state or federal elections, so you can build your network with cozy fundraising events that let you build real connections with like-minded people.
Endorsements from local leaders and organizations are quite helpful in raising awareness of your campaign, too, especially during some of the more unnoticed local races.
Campaigns have limits in the funds they can receive. These limits are defined by state and federal campaign finance laws and define the following:
Types of funds a candidate can receive (e.g., corporate versus noncorporate)
Amount of funds coming from any one source
The FEC has a federal contribution limits page, but your state or municipality contribution laws will be what you need to reference when running for local office.
Each state has its own contribution limits that apply to state and local offices, and these laws will vary significantly. Consider these examples: New York calculates its contribution limits based on the relationship of the donor to the candidate (family or non-family) and the population of the area in which the candidate is campaigning. In contrast, Florida's contribution laws are set amounts that vary depending on the office being sought.
All political campaigns are required to file regular financial disclosures through the state and federal government. Again, your state election website will provide you with the information and forms needed to comply with campaign finance disclosure laws. Some sites even offer informal courses to teach you about the laws.
Another way to ensure you remain compliant with these laws is by hiring a finance or compliance firm. They can take care of all the administrative tasks and financial reporting that make your campaign credible and keep everything in compliance with finance laws.
Interacting directly with the public is an excellent way to raise awareness about your campaign. Especially, taking the time to reach out to voters humanizes you and builds trust. The two main ways to contact voters are by canvassing and phone banking.
Canvassing is done by knocking on doors. This outreach tactic can be used for a number of reasons:
Grassroots fundraising
Political campaigning and persuasion
Raising community awareness
Get Out the Vote efforts
Phone banking (both calling and texting)
These outreach tactics will be used throughout your campaign, with shifting strategies depending on the stage of the election. For example, canvassing will focus more on raising awareness and generating support at first, but will shift toward voter registration and GOTV efforts in the weeks leading up to Election Day.
The more expensive types of paid media or marketing (i.e., television, mail, etc.) are usually inaccessible to campaigns for local office. Most local campaigns instead invest in digital, flyers, a simple website, and yard signs.
A key point to remember is this: voters tend to engage less with local politics compared to federal or national campaigns. For many voters, local office just isn't as top of mind or as exciting as presidential elections. Investing in yard signs and localized social media ads will therefore be key to raising awareness about your campaign.
Combining such tactics with in-person voter outreach shows voters that you're invested in the campaign and in the community.
Not to mention, simple marketing can also clue people into you as a candidate, helping them educate themselves on the issues and why you're the best fit for the job.
Data suggests that, when you make it easier to vote, more people do. That's why it benefits you, as a candidate, to include voter registration in your canvassing efforts. Taking the time to help people get registered shows voters that you are "in this together."
Let's face it. Registering to vote is one of those pesky tasks that can fall by the wayside, especially after disruptive life events like moving or changing your name. Presenting an easy way for your supporters to either update their registration or register for the first time is another way to increase support for your campaign.
Plus, proactively engaging the community to register voters gets younger people more involved in politics. In 2020, more than half of young people (ages 18–29) voted, a trend that may continue with the increased activism seen in recent years due in part to the pressing issues of climate change, police brutality, economic disparities, and the legislative attacks on rights ranging from abortion to voting.
In the days and weeks leading up to Election Day, all of your canvassing and phone banking should shift to GOTV efforts. Your campaign should be calling and knocking on doors to remind people to vote on Election Day or to complete/return their mail-in ballots.
Research shows that certain GOTV tactics, such as disclosing voter participation in a voter's area, applies a sort of social pressure that increases voter turnout.
GOTV efforts are especially important for lower-profile elections, such as the midterms or elections for local offices. Elections at those levels tend to see dips in voter participation.
If you're running for local office, a little social pressure on voters to participate in local politics can go a long way for your party as a whole—"Records show that your neighbor voted, what's your plan to vote?"
After Election Day, your political campaign is concluded. If you've won your election, it's time to prepare for your new job.
If you're interested in campaigning further, there are a few next steps you can take, regardless of whether you've won your race for local office. You can start researching the next office you'd like to target. If you won, you can use your time in office to generate further support for future runs.
A lost campaign can also be used to generate more support for the future. It's not easy to run a campaign at any level, but the lessons you learn along the way will help you refine your approach moving forward. Former President Barack Obama is a good example. He lost his 2000 bid for the U.S. House of Representatives, but then leveraged the support he gained during his campaign to lead him to a U.S. Senate victory in 2004. The way he used his momentum after his early loss also put him on the path to the presidency.
So win or lose, let your run for local office set the stage for shaping whatever future in politics you envision for yourself.

Singer Jewel still lives by Bob Dylan's wise words
She told me: "He said I should do whatever I wanted."
And Jewel, 38, did just that with her Greatest Hits disc, out now: "This is not the end, I just wanted to make a special album."
But it's not all nostalgia. She's recruited Kelly Clarkson to re-work Foolish Games, adding: "Kelly's a great singer and was kind enough to say yes."


Changes are indeed coming to Pittsburgh. And even more could be coming, if things don't change in 2019.
The firing of outside linebackers coach Joey Porter, a move that many assume was made by coach Mike Tomlin but that history tells us could have been made a level or two higher than that, feels like something more than the periodic shuffling of an assistant coach whose time to go had come. It feels like a warning shot at Tomlin.
Look carefully at Tomlin's statement; nothing in there says Tomlin made the decision to not give Porter a new deal. And based on the story told by former Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians regarding his own "retirement" from early 2012, it's entirely possible that Tomlin wanted to keep Porter but wasn't allowed to do so by ownership.
Given the broader context, with constant distractions on Tomlin's watch and the stunningly bizarre decision by receiver Antonio Brown to go AWOL before a key Week 17 game, it could be that the organization has decided to impose on Tomlin's team that kind of discipline that Tomlin in recent years hasn't. And no member of the coaching staff showed less discipline in recent years than Porter.
On the field, it was his provocation of Pacman Jones during a playoff game that prompted a rule change. Off the field, an arrest two Januarys ago. Then there were the tales of Tomlin's and Porter's antics at local high-school football games.
Typically, coaches get fired when there's a deficiency with the performance of the players for whom they are responsible. The Steelers' outside linebackers are doing just fine. This just feels like it's about something more than Xs and Os. It feels like it's the first tangible step toward putting Tomlin on notice that a team that prides itself on having three coaches in 50 years is starting to be ashamed by the connection between lack of discipline and inability to compete for championships.
Steelers are cratering big. Danger Will Robinson.
He wasn't fired. They just didn't renew his contract.. you know there's a difference right?
It's interesting that you think it's stunningly bizarre? He was trying to hold the team hostage with his absence right? Hmmm, has Pittsburgh ever experienced that before?
Was only a matter of time before Mike's "Tomlin's on the hot seat" rant. Next one is scheduled for January 2023.
yes they got hosed in cleve- ball clearly hit Chubb's helmet, hosed vs Chargers and Saints but this team can beat anyone and lose to anyone….every yr same story…where as New England every yr can beat everyone and maybe lose to 4 or 5 teams…Tomlin is just a below avg coach…on the flip side, scalping in 3-4 years will be dirt cheap !!!
The Steelers OLBs are not fine. TJ Watt is great but it's been a parade of crap otherwise. You can't say the ILB situation is better.
The Steelers ownership are going to regret not firing Tomlin THIS year.
Mike Tomlin is a competent coach and deserving of a long term deal. Please keep him Steelers.
So do they have a different coach for middle/inside LB's? Seems like an oddly specific title.
Couldn't stand Porter as a player and seeing him crawl up the field in the game against the Bengals made me despise him even more.
In the broader context of Pitt's ongoing dramas, this is at the bottom of the(long)list.
I suspect that Porter is a scapegoat for the real problem (Tomlin).
Dan Rooney wasn't influenced by fan tantrums, and I doubt Art II is, either. But it remains to be seen. I'm sure Rooney signed off on Joey's dismissal, but equally sure it was Tomlin's decision. Yes, the team could be better disciplined, though no team runs a ship a taut as Belichick's . However, the bottom line is that, among active coaches, Tomlin has the fifth best regular-season winning percentage in the league. Factoring out Nagy and McVay, who've coached three years between them with no playoff wins, he's third behind Belichick and Reid, who's never won a Super Bowl. For all the criticism, Tomlin's never had a losing season and has a better winning percentage than Noll or Cowher. And Rooney's capable of doing the math.
Mike Tomlin is a terrible coach plain and simple. Porter is his buddy who is also awful at coaching. They bring out the worst in each other. In 2019, I expect more of the same underachieving embarrassment I have witnessed since 2010 (when Tomlin still had most of Cowher's players and staff). The best part of it is after Tomlin gets fired, another sucker team will hire him and without a HOF QB, he might go 0-32 and best Hue Jackson.
So, the Patriots lost to Mark Sanchez in the playoffs…..with Tom Brady….in Foxborough. Never knew that a team should be defined by the QB they lost to in the playoffs.
There have been issues with OLB development. Porter has had 3 1st round picks under his time there. 1 failed out, 1 is below average and 1 looks like a potential all pro. He was canned because he couldn't get more out of Dupree. This was likely coming regardless of where the team finished. Butler and Smith are next.
but what's happening in boston? that's the team that's rife with dissension and in a downward spiral right?
Steelers finished last in the AFC West this year losing to KC, Denver and the Raiders. They didnt play the Chargers, thank God, as LA would have mopped the field with the Pitts.
Florio you may be on to something. I think ownership is FINALLY going to remove a lot of Tomlin's authority. Like back in 2008-2010 when the team was good and he already had his whole staff doing all the work for him. Ever since he has taken over a lot of control, things have just gotten worse and worse.
LA got like 3 gifted touchdowns by the officials….
When you're scheduled to play a division, you play the entire division. Steelers did play the Chargers–and lost. But your point is well-taken.
You do realize that Porter was the outside linebackers coach and his contract was not renewed. You don't really make any sort of statement by not re-signing your outside linebackers coach.
Bill Cowher (61) is still younger than Pete Carroll (67) and Bill Belichick (66). Pay him whatever is costs to bring him back!
Umm….no. The Steelers finished 2nd in the AFC North and were swept by the entire AFC West including the Chargers. You know the game where the referees basically handed the Chargers 2 TDs and blundered an offsides call on the winning field goal at the end. Hardly a "mopping".
That will define the Tomlin era with the Steelers. They should also add wasted opportunities.
NO, they arent. He helped "develop" Jarvis Jones and Bud Dupree. The ONLY success at the position has been a guy who was super raw after only playing a year at the position in college (Watt).
Most people following the team thought he'd be fired either last year or the year before.
That being said, it still may not have been Tomlins choice.
" Can the Patriots be next @ ??? Did you forget the Pats are the second seed? Unlike the Steelers the Pats made the playoffs, LOL!!
I don't understand why Tomlin is still the coach. His head is above water only because of Ben!
I don't see Tomlin as a problem. In fact, I don't see a lot of problems with the Steelers franchise, and haven't for the last 40 years. They're about as well run an organization as I've seen in any of the professional sports, since I've been watching. A down year for most teams is 4-12 or worse. A down year for the Steelers is 9-6-1. Lately it seems like the Steelers' personnel people have chosen a couple talented individuals who turned out to have some slight character issues, but the coaching has been solid, as usual. The Steelers aren't run like the Patriots where the coach has all the power. Guys like Terrell Owens, Charles Haley, Antonio Brown, etc., can't be controlled by even the best coaches in history. Since Tomlin has been the Steelers coach, show me the long list of teams with a better record. Wait, let me get out my magnifying glass.
The difference is semantics. If they offered a new contract, he'd still be working there. They had no interest in maintaining the relationships with Porter.
The Steelers dug their own grave here. They should have either dealt Bell or given him what he wanted. Instead, they created a three-ring circus. Who really knows if they lied to long time Steeler James Harrison last year or how any of this impacted Brown, but it's all cumulative and Roethlisberger should stop calling out players on his radio show. The hardest thing to do in the NFL is maintain greatness. Give Pittsburgh credit for keeping it going for so long, so Tomlin gets a pass.
A shot across the bow? Is Tomlin 49% owner or something. They do realize they can just fire their coach and hire another one right? Teams do that from time to time when the organization falls apart.
Tomlin should have been fired at least 6 years ago.
Doesn't know how to use timeouts or challenges. Doesn't know what's going on with time management, or critical game situations.
Can't handle talent (Santonio Holmes, Blount, Harrison, Bell, Brown come to mind).
Can never get the team ready (late in the season the Steelers were 32nd in the league in 1st quarter scoring). 32nd in the league with that offense means people don't come prepared.
I saw one stat that he 6-5 against teams where the Steelers were favored by 17. The rest of the league was like 65-10.
The only reason he is here is Hall of Fame talent barely getting him through games (even last years 13-3….half of the wins were last minute or so), along with the Rooney's enjoying the idea of keeping the same coach there for as long as possible.
The team that started the Rooney Rule will not fire their black HC even if they wanted to.
Time to clean up and get back to the Steeler Way.
Um, no. Burfict has never caused any issues off the field unlike scumbag Porter.
This is a story about firing on-field instigator and ineffective coach Joey Porter and fans are ONCE AGAIN using the opportunity to whine about the refs in that beatdown by the Chargers!!!
Enough of that already. You are embarrassing yourselves like never before.
Mr. Florio, you try too hard to read between lines when there may not be anything there to read in the first place. That and you're desperate for the day Mike Tomlin actually does find 'the hot seat', for some reason. Maybe if/when it finally happens you finally get to say 'Ah-Ha!! I was right!' That being said, Mr. Florio, I still enjoy 98% of the things you put up here.
I don't think this was a shot accross Tomlin's bow, really. I would think it's more aimed at the bow of Kieth Butler. That doesn't mean Rooney didn't sit down with Tomlin and Colbert and spell out exactly how feels about how things are being handled as of late. That and then looking straight at Tomlin and saying something like; 'it's time to tighten up the reins and run your show with a firmer hand'.
Porter's job probably should have ended before this season began. The OLB's may have had a solid year this season, but how long has it taken to get this far and where are they still lacking (?) I can't help but wonder if maybe there's too many cooks in the kitchen and that there will be just a LB's coach vs Inside & Outside coaches.
Given the fashion the Steelers missed the post-season, seats should be at least 'warm' in every room in the building.
You're too smart for the room, buddy. But it's a welcome change.
The trolls sure are obsessed with Pittsburgh and New England. Jealousy?
I agree that the shot across the bow was intended for Butler. Both he and the special teams have to go. This should be Tomlin's last chance to get his act together.
And yes, both the Chargers and Saints games were decided by the officials. But that's not the reason we missed the playoffs. We missed the playoffs because once again, the Steelers play down to the competition.
The league has to make a move to have full time officials, who are trained and can be fired if they don't perform. No official should decide the outcome of a game, ever. Too many game changing questionable calls this year, not just against the Steelers, but across the NFL. And wbile I'm don't discriminate because of age, can you really tell me that a 60 plus year old man can effectively cover the officiating around some of these wide receives and running backs? No way can they keep up.
Well considering that Ben nearly didn't come back this past season would lead one to believe he definitely won't next year. Smartlybtaking rhe off season to quietly think about it.
But consider what he was coming at to, a team with a great shot at winning the division full of new QBs. A top tier wr and back in brown and bell. Now consider what those QBs have done, and that bell and brown are all but off the team already.
What will tomlin see if Ben decides to stay home that will drive him to want to come back himself?
I see it at this one single team and it's demise over the next 8 months will change the dynamic fir the entire league should brown and bell be traded to the NFC while tomlin and Ben retire.
All in all the AFC west will be the toughest in the leauge sans the crap fest in Denver that we get to be entertained by for a few years.
If these top tier steelers stay inside the AFC, then Rooney has thrown up his hands.
