Last week, the first of the 2020 presidential debates took place for the Democratic nominees. According to Ballotpedia, there are currently twenty-five Democratic presidential candidates. However, only the twenty with the highest polling numbers and donor contributions made it on to the debate stage. The candidates were split into two groups of ten that debated over two nights on NBC/MSNBC. (One thing that I appreciated about these debates is that the candidates were chosen at random for each night, meaning presidential hopefuls polling at higher and lower ends of the spectrum ended up on the stage each night. This was a contrast to 2016's Republican debates, which featured higher-tiered and lower-tiered debates. You can guess which of those debates got more viewers.) The debates were moderated by Savannah Guthrie, Lester Holt, and Jose Diaz-Balart, with an additional panel comprised of Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow.
So, how did the debates go, you ask? Let me break it down for you.
*All of my opinions below are based solely on debate performance, not on whether or not I agree with a candidate's ideology and policy proposals.*
Night One
Candidates: Cory Booker, Julián Castro, Bill De Blasio, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Jay Inslee, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O'Rourke, Tim Ryan, Elizabeth Warren
I was most impressed with: Julián Castro
I was least impressed with: Beto O'Rourke
Politics is often akin to a circus, and it was not long before the circus began during the first debate. During the answer to his very first question, Beto O'Rourke began speaking Spanish (not very good Spanish, I might add). Not to be outdone, Cory Booker later did the exact same thing…after he stared at Beto in complete shock, becoming an Internet meme forever. Amidst all of this bilingual chaos, Elizabeth Warren established herself as the debate's front-runner in the first half. She gave clear, direct answers and had a ready-to-explain plan for every issue. She showed true leadership when other candidates seemed to be floundering.
One of the biggest talking-points of the 2020 campaign is, of course, healthcare. When asked who was ready to immediately abolish private insurance and move to Medicare-for-all, only Warren and De Blasio said yes. Booker and Gabbard do support Medicare-for-all, but aren't quite so ready to jump in. O'Rourke and Delaney said no. Perhaps Amy Klobuchar put it best when she said that although everyone has different plans and paths to get there, all of the candidates are in favor of universal healthcare.
Klobuchar and Gabbard were certainly the more moderate candidates of the night. I found myself liking both of them, although neither had a huge night. Unfortunately, Delaney, Inslee, and Ryan remain the mysterious candidates that we know little about. While Warren was a standout in the beginning, she could not keep her momentum going long enough to stop Castro from becoming the night's breakout star. His comprehensive immigration plan was impressive, as was his experience serving in the Obama administration. He certainly made a name for himself. But someone who didn't? O'Rourke, who did not live up to the excitement his campaign has generated. His answers and ideas were, honestly, lackluster.
Night Two
Candidates: Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, John Hickenlooper, Bernie Sanders, Eric Swalwell, Marianne Williamson, Andrew Yang
I was most impressed with: Kamala Harris
I was least impressed with: Joe Biden
Night two's circus-factor came from the lack of civility on stage. Unlike night one, when everyone was fairly courteous, the second debate featured candidates yelling over each other, trying to answer questions that weren't directed at them, and calling out each other and President Trump. Adding to the circus even more (and in a much more entertaining fashion) was candidate/spiritual leader/author Marianne Williamson, who has become the Internet's new favorite person. At one point, she said her first act as president would be to call New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who said her country would be the greatest place to live, and tell her, "Girlfriend, you are so on."
Bernie, of course, continued his "Democratic Socialist" spiel, prompting Hickenlooper to insist that the party needs to stay as far away from socialism as possible. Bernie and Harris were the only two candidates to agree to abolishing private insurance this night (although Harris seemed to possibly recant that statement in a later interview). Joe Biden had a huge target on his back the entire night, taking heat from Swalwell who claimed to have witnessed Biden give a speech about passing the torch to the next generation of leaders – when Swalwell was just six years old. He also faced strong criticism from Harris over his past stance on busing and segregation in what was surely the most memorable moment of the night. To add insult to injury, Biden had no response when Diaz-Balart brought up the Obama administration's deportations of illegal immigrants when Biden criticized the current administration for doing the same.
One interesting part of the second debate was the more obscure candidates' ability to stand out and get time. I think I can actually identify Bennet, Hickenlooper, Swalwell, and Yang now. However, between her takedown of Biden and several other good moments, it was clear that the night belonged to Harris. She truly seemed presidential and ready to take on anything. Biden, on the other hand, did not. I honestly believe he thought he could get through the debate with nothing but rehearsed responses. It did not bode well for him.
We are already seeing some early polls showing effects from the debate, but what will its real aftermath be? Only time will tell.

The Basque armed separatist group ETA has said it is ready to discuss disbanding its membership with the French and Spanish authorities. However, certain conditions would first need to be met.
The group announced its demands for an agreement with the French and Spanish governments in a statement to a Basque news organization.
Full details of the document were revealed in the nationalist daily newspaper Gara on Sunday.
The group proposed an "agenda of dialogue" that addressed the return to the Basque region of ETA prisoners being held in custody elsewhere.
The statement also called for the "demilitarization" of the Basque region, referring to Spanish security forces, in return for the dismantling of its own "armed structures."
An agreement that included all those elements would bring with it "a definitive end of the armed conflict," the group was reported to have said.
Madrid calls for immediate end
The Spanish daily newspaper El Pais reported that the Madrid government had so far not given consideration to the proposal. Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz said the only statement he wanted from the group "is the one that announces its dissolution," the paper reported on its website.
The center-right government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has repeatedly said it will not negotiate with the group, demanding instead that it simply disband.
The separatist group, which has killed more than 800 people since the 1960s in its struggle for Basque independence, announced a definitive end to its armed activities in October last year. However, the organization has still not handed over weapons.
The group - which has targeted businesses as well as security forces - has suffered from a loss of support in the Basque Country itself, with many members arrested, and arms caches discovered, in recent years.

To be, or not to be? Repair or replace fence? The choice of what to do about your fence can feel like life or death, but it doesn't have to.
Sometimes a good fence can be saved with a little bit of tender love and care. Other times, a complete fence replacement would actually be more cost effective.
We've put together this handy guide to help you decide. Of course, you could just call your local Jim's Fencing team for a repair or replacement quote.
To repair or to replace? That is the question.
There's no way to know the right move for every fence, but we can cover some of the common problems we see with older fences.
Wooden fences that haven't been treated correctly can easily start to rot. Most commonly, you can see rot in its earliest stages at the base of your fence where the posts meet the ground.
Should you repair or replace fence rot? As a general rule, if more than 1/4 of your fence is damaged, it would be more cost effective to replace it.
Thankfully, most fences are treated to stop pests ruining your beautiful timber. If you have a fence that has been damaged by termites, the same rule of thumb applies.
If you choose to repair, you will need to have it treated and inspected to make sure the termites are completely gone (this can be costly).
Old Age
Time gets everyone in the end – even your fence.
Even though a bit of ageing can give your fence some charm, at a certain point, it will have had enough. If your fence is more than 20 years old and showing signs of damage, it is time for a replacement.
Extreme Weather Conditions
If a tree has fallen on your fence, wind has blown it over, or fire has damaged it, the best thing to do is contact us. Again, if your fence is more than 1/4 damaged, you will probably need a replacement. We are experts in fence repair – if the situation seems beyond repair, you might be surprised by what we can do.
Wobbly Posts & Loose Panels
These are common problems and quite easy to fix. Just make sure you have a professional take care of it so you don't have to keep throwing money and time at the same issue.
Before you do any work, check if your fence is still in warranty. It could save you the complete cost of your fence repair or replacement. Colorbond fences have a 1o year warranty while other materials have a shorter warranty.
Fence Maintenance
If you look after your fence, you can save yourself the repair or replace fence crisis. Instead of having to fix a fence, all you need to do is maintain it.
Staining and sealing wooden fences will add years to the life of your fence. You can protect it by removing harmful vines and keeping an eye on the foliage around your fence to make sure it isn't doing any damage.
Contact Jim's Fencing Today
Instead of worrying about whether you should repair or replace fence posts and loose panels, get in touch with us. We can do the worrying for you.
Our fencing experts can whip up a commitment free quote to help you make your decision. Once you have a plan of action, we can get to work and have your fence back to its best in no time.
Call us on 131 546 or fill in the online form to find out more.

After all the travelling I am cooking again, yes and there is a lot to come. I will cook a lot of basic and simple dishes like the one we talk about in this Blog. The Goulash.
It can be an absolutely beautiful dish if properly cooked. One part that is really important is the onions. One uses a lot of onions. They don't just give a beautiful flavor, but thicken the sauce nicely too. At the end we add potatoes and because they cook in the sauce they are taking up all the flavor.
The difference here compared to other stews is that the meat does not get browned, either do the onions. Everything is cooked without giving color but as you can see on the first photo, the color at the end is still great. I have not added any stock to it. With the slow cooking and adding the salt at the beginning, all the juices from the onions and meat will come out and then the meat is braising slowly in its own juices.
As a spice we add a little bay leaves and of course caraway seeds. They are really important because they give a wonderful new level to the dish, something that makes your Goulash different and at the same time more original. Just be careful that you don't add too much to the dish.
What I find amazing cooking here in Maldives is that I am constantly exposed to Indian and Sri-Lankan cooking. Especially in Indian cuisine one finds often the gravy which is based on onions and like with the Goulash onions, it thickens the dish apart from giving it a lot of flavors. So even these two cuisines are so different in many ways....there are some similarities.
So try it out, the recipe is really simple and try to buy a lower cut of the beef, something from the leg that needs long cooking. There the meat has much more flavor which will add to the dish. Just take your time with cooking, it really has to simmer very slowly and would actually work well if cooked in the oven
So here is the recipe which is enough for 10 friends, because like this you can freeze some if you have less over for dinner
1.5 kg (2,5 lbs) Beef cubes
750 (1,5 lbs) g Onion
75 ml (3 oz) Oil
400 g (1 lbs) Red Peppers
400 g (1 lbs) Tomatoes
60 g (2 oz) Sweet Paprika powder
8 g (0.3 oz) Caraway seeds
2 ea Bay leaves
15 g (o,5 oz) Salt
Cut the beef in 30 g cubes
Cut the onions in a fine julienne
Sweat the onions in the hot oil
Add the beef cubes and sweat at low heat
Add all the spices, red peppers and tomatoes
Stir well then simmer with the lid for 1.5 hours or till the meat is starting to get tender
Add the potatoes which are cut in 1 cm cubes
Simmer till all is soft but the potatoes are still whole
Season to taste
Serve with homemade Spaetzle

Every city has a wholesaler that provides to the shops in and around it. These wholesalers
get used by the public and by retailers that are looking to top up on their stock
for the coming month. Wholesalers are the companies that bring all of the products
from around the country together under one roof. If customers had to go to a manufacturer
for every product they wanted to purchase then they would have to travel a very
long way for the weekly shop.
Retailers need wholesalers in order to survive. This is because a retailer can't
be the company getting different product deliveries arranged because it would dramatically
affect the cost of the goods. Wholesalers combine their deliveries with many different
products from the same manufacturer in order to cut the costs on their goods. This
means that all of these products can be sold to retailers for a very low price.
Retailers can then sell these goods on and make a profit on the sales because they
don't have to cover the costs of delivery.
Astro Imports are a wholesaler that sells to the retail market. The company are
based in Leicester and have often been referred to as the leicester cash and carry because
of their cheap prices and range of goods. The company are bringing products from
around the country to retailers in and around the city, and they even provide to
businesses based elsewhere in the UK. The company use their website to help further
cut costs for retailers, giving them the chance to order online and take away the
need for catalogue distribution and travelling sales representatives. Astro Import's
website is the future of the wholesale market, and this can be seen in the growing
number of wholesalers selling online.

I have a head start for the weekend Farmers Market, and soaped up a storm.
Good thing for rainy days and storms ....because that is the only way I can be found inside this time of year!!
I made Orange peel soap and Red raspberry and Blue Jasmine and a really nice scent of Lemongrass and Macha Tea, which is just incredible. Lavender was a new one to me also and I added some lavender buds to that.
I also have a green spearmint and and really interesting experiment of Coffee Grounds/Cocoa and Morroccan mint!! The mocha coffee one looks like blended oreo cookie blizzard and I will definitely be using that one as soon as it cures! I especially have fun with the experiment soap, so if anyone has any ideas on mixing different ingredients, I would love to try it and who knows ...you could earn yourself a really nice bar of goat milk soap!!

December 23, 1924 – September 10, 2019
Evelyn Laura "Laurie" Hettle (nee Morrison), aged 94 of Parksville, BC, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 10, 2019 at Trillium Lodge.
Laurie was predeceased by her husband, Lloyd; infant daughter, Robin; brother, Robert (Lucille) and sister, Dorothy (Robby), and is survived by her children, Janice (George), Tracy, Alan (Beth) and Shelley; grandchildren, Laura (Christopher), Scott (Stephanie), Krista (Marc), Andrew (Brandi), David (Emma) and Daniel (Emily); great-grandchildren, Sibella and Stellan, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Born in Mission, BC and raised in Dewdney, Laurie grew up a farm girl devoted to her horse Bonnie and ribbon-winning calves. She had a lifelong love of animals – from German Shepherd Tara to Standard Poodle Donna, she was rarely without a canine companion – and an adventurous spirit. In her late teens, she travelled across North America by rail with a likewise intrepid friend, visiting cities including Boston, Los Angeles, Montreal and New York City before moving to Ocean Falls, BC for work.
It was there that Laurie met her husband of 59 years. During their life together, she and Lloyd would also make homes in Port Alberni, BC, Powell River, BC and Rothesay, NB before retiring to Parksville in 1987.
Day or night, Laurie was unfailingly up for a game of cards (bridge, cribbage or Dirty Rummy especially); an expressive and lively conversationalist, she was always quick to laugh. She cherished her family and friends, and was never one to pass up a dip in the ocean.
A Memorial Service will be held at 1 pm on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at Knox United Church, 345 Pym St., Parksville, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, or JDRF Canada.

The birth of the Western European Union began some 28 years ago on May 6th 1955.
However, this alliance was formed from the original Treaty of Dunkirk. The Treaty of Dunkirk was an Anglo-French alliance which was signed on March 4th 1947, when the two signatories agreed to give mutual support to each other should the event of renewed German aggression show it's face again. It was also to agree on a common action should either signatory be prejudiced by any failure of Germany to fulfil it's economic obligations which were enforced upon her by the allies at the end of WWII. The Treaty of Dunkirk was enhanced within only 12 months with the signing of The Brussels Treaty.

This was a "Treaty of Economic, Social and Cultural Co-operation and Collective Self Defence" signed on March 17th 1948 by the countries of Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and was implemented by the U.K. Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin. This new and enhanced Treaty of Dunkirk was to be given the name of the Brussels Treaty Organisation (B.T.O.).
Among the aims of the treaty were the "strengthening of economic, social and cultural ties between the signatories, the co-ordination of efforts to create a firm basis for European economic recovery, and mutual assistance in maintaining international peace and security". Of the Brussels treaty two articles in particular need mentioning. Article 4 of treaty provided for " mutual assistance in maintaining international peace and security".While article 7 created a Consultative Council to discuss matters covered by the treaty.
Over the coming years more talks were held on the formation of a European Defence Council, however these talks broke down and proved fruitless. A new set of talks were scheduled in the summer of 1954 to extend and amend the Brussels Treaty and proved much more successful, with the conclusion of the talks in London between September 28th and October 3rd. The "Paris Agreements" were signed in Paris on October 23rd 1954 by the nine conference powers which included representatives from Belgium, Canada, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Although some concern may be expressed at the inclusion of Germany as one of the representative states Protocol 1 of the Paris Agreement will explain this.
Protocol I Amended the Brussels treaty of 1948 to permit the entry of the Federal Republic of Germany and Italy into the Treaty Organisation. The assistance in case of attack was extended to the two new entrants.The Consultative Council set up under the original treaty was given powers of decision and renamed the Council of Western European Union. On May 6th 1955 the Paris Agreements came into force and the expanded Brussels Treaty Organisation became the Western European Union. There are however three other protocols worth mentioning that were agreed upon within the Paris Agreements. Protocol II Laid down the maximum strength of land and air forces to be maintained in Europe at the disposal of Supreme Allied Commander of NATO by each of the member countries of the WEU in peace time. The contribution of naval forces to NATO by each of the WEU countries would be determined annually. Regular inspections would be held by the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, to ensure that the limits were observed.
A special article recapitulated an undertaking by Britain not to withdraw or diminish her forces in Europe against the wishes of the majority of her partners. In 1957 Britain was given permission, by the WEU to withdraw some of her forces from the Federal Republic of Germany. Protocol III Embodied resolutions on the control of armaments on the European mainland. The Federal Republic of Germany was forbidden to manufacture atomic, biological or chemical weapons, and stocks of such weapons in other countries of continental Europe were to be strictly controlled. In addition, Germany undertook not to manufacture long-range and guided missiles, influence mines, warships and strategic bombers unless the competent NATO Supreme Commander should recommend any change in the ruling.
Protocol IV Set up an agency for the Control of Armaments and defined its functions, these being mainly to enforce the provision of Protocol III. The German Build Up Within a short period of time due to the build up of the Warsaw pact it was felt that the Federal Republic of Germany would be unable to defend itself against possible aggression from the Russian dominated treaty, and that a number of arrangements would have to be made with regards to the increase in size of its forces. This would, it was believed enhance the FRG right to self defence against aggression, enhance the military strength of the WEU and at the same time strengthen the NATO first line of defence against the Warsaw Pact Forces.
To enable this to happen a number of new amendments had to be made to Protocol III of the revised Brussels Treaty. These were made over a number of years.The first decision was made on April 23 1958 when West Germany requested to be allowed the manufacture of short range, anti-tank, guided missiles with only conventional warheads. On October 21st 1959 the Council of the WEU agreed to remove the restriction on the construction of ground-to-air and air-to-air anti-aircraft missiles by West Germany. Between May 1961 and October 1963 the Council of the WEU approved a number of revisions to the permitted limit on West German naval vessels and their construction.
On 24th May 1961 the Council of the WEU raised the tonnage limit for eight West German destroyers to 6,000 tons, which was double the existing general limit, to build fleet auxiliary vessels of up to 6,000 tons and to manufacture influence mines for port protection. On October 19th 1962 the WEU agreed to increase from 350 to 450 tons the limit for West German submarines "to fulfil NATO requirements".Within a year on October 9th 1963 the Council of the WEU agreed to raise the tonnage limit for West German submarines from the 450 tons agreed only a year earlier up to 1,000 tons. These new submarines were also allowed to be built in West Germany. From 1963 up until 1980 further amendments were made to the original agreements which would allow the previous limits to increase from 3,000 tons for combat vessels except eight destroyers of up to 6,000 tons and one training ship of up to 5,000 tons.
6,000 tons for auxiliary vessels and 1,800 tons for submarines. The WEU and NATO The French Stance Over the past few years and in particular the last twelve months there have been differentiating ideas on the role and make-up of the WEU.The French would prefer to see it as a military extension of the EC and would work outside the NATO structure. They see NATO as being institutionalised with U.S. leadership and with the French playing only a minor role within NATO itself, it sees the rest of Europe constantly bowing to American wishes. Roland Dumas the French foreign minister stated in October 1991 that a European defence identity meant "the defence of Europe by Europeans".
The French went some way to achieving this with the formation of the new Euro-Corps, a Franco-German brigade of some 35,000 troops, and soon offered membership to any other EC country.Indeed interest was expressed by both Belgium and Spain, however both eventually declined. The Belgian line was that "it did not want to be the only other member of the new Franco-German force". The Spanish declined after being won over by the British argument that European defence should be based upon the nine nation WEU. The Franco- German brigade seems to be largely cosmetic as without the communication, logistical and intelligence gathering capabilities of the Americans it poses no substantial real alternative to the more than adequate NATO alternative. The appointing of Britain by NATO not only to head but also to commit substantial forces to the new Rapid Reaction Corps at the end of last year made the French furious.
They saw this as an Anglo-Saxon dominance at a time when President Mitterrand was "weighing wider French participation in the alliance". However French officials had also hinted that French troops even when co-operating with German forces would not move in any way closer to NATO's military system. President Francois Mitterrand has hinted that the French might eventually put its nuclear forces at the services of a United Europe but this would require co-ordination with Great Britain, Europe's only other nuclear power. The bottom line from the French appears to be that the Franco-German force will compliment and not undermine both NATO and the Western European Union and that the sooner American forces are out of Europe the better! The German Stance The German stance has been somewhat of a balancing act. It feels that it is demonstrating to other European countries that by joining with France in a Franco-German brigade that it is at the heart of Europe and being European. The Germans are also aware that they should not show negative or give the wrong signals to the Americans as the Americans have played a great part in keeping the peace within Europe for a number of decades.They did not wish to be forced into a trade war between Europe and their Atlantic partners which could damage an already over stretched German economy. The Germans were also disappointed with the appointment of Great Britain to head NATO's Rapid Reaction Corps, however the rumblings of discontent where somewhat quieter than the French had made.
There were a number of problems with the German commitment to the EFA (European Fighter Aircraft) project, and at one stage the German Defence secretary Volker Ruhe announced that they would be withdrawing from the project. This decision was reversed a number of weeks later by Chancellor Kohl for which the reasons will be mentioned later. The biggest worry facing the German question is that they no longer see any threat from the Warsaw pact and therefore see no reason to carry on spending any where near the kind of money that it had been spending on defence prior to it's demise.With the reunification of the Germany's it would prove difficult to persuade a German population that defence spending should be as compelling as rebuilding the East German economy or raising the standards of living for the Eastern half of Germany. German troops are still legally bound not to be deployed outside Germany, although during Operation Restore Hope (aid to the Kurdish refugees on the Turkish-Iraqi border) four German helicopters were deployed, but these were for humanitarian reasons and not for aggressive reasons. The one question that still remains is that if the Franco-German brigade were to be used as a complement to NATO and the WEU, could at some stage German troops be deployed outside Germany to fight in a conflict which may see NATO or the WEU involved.
The American Stance At first the Americans viewed all the happenings in Europe as small and superfluous, recognising the European habit to agree on anything to be a long drawn out affair which normally would end in deadlock. However with the application made by Great Britain to join the EC in 1969 the Americans began to pay greater interest in Europe. Great Britain were granted membership into the EC on 1st January 1973, and the U.S.
saw this as a stronger and more independent Europe. U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger called this "The Year of Europe" but made a provocative contrast between the global policies of the U.
S. and Europe's "regional role". A revised structure for transatlantic consultation was agreed upon in June 1974 in the NATO Ottawa Declaration.
Towards the end of the seventies there were a number of disagreements between regional and global policies on both sides of the Atlantic.Britain, France and West Germany supported the strengthening of the Western European Union with twice yearly ministerial meetings, and …

Hi Everyone,
I've put some more blogs in my blog list that i'm an avid reader of. You'll probably notice that in addition to quite a few personal gay blogs, i put up some foodie ones too! I love good food more than anything. If i could I'd probably watch the food network 24/7. It seems lots of international chefs make it big on TV, you've got the americans, the brits and the up and coming aussies (curtis stone is a hottie!). And one of my favorite shows is Top Chef on Bravo. Even though most of the recipes i probably couldn't reproduce since it's not kosher, i still love watching it :)
Anyway, catch you later,

Rule Map–>Testing Requirements–>ROLLING RESISTANCE TEST
"Rolling resistance" is the force required to make tires roll and is a characteristic that affects tire fuel efficiency. NHTSA is proposing a specific test procedure by which manufacturers are to measure rolling resistance for the planned new tire label.
Related issue for comment: Rolling Resistance metric.
Rolling resistance represents all the energy losses associated with a tire rolling under a load. In general, rolling resistance is tested in a laboratory by running a tire on a test wheel (as depicted here). NHTSA is interested in measuring rolling resistance at a constant speed, and therefore it considered only "steady state" testing methods.
NHTSA is looking for the test procedure that will best standardize the fuel efficiency rating and so provide an accurate comparison across replacement tires. In a study concluded in October 2008, the agency evaluated five existing and draft test procedures, including procedures from both the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) (SAE J1269single, SAE J1269multi; SAE J2452) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (ISO 18164:2005E; ISO 28580). Three of these methods are multi- point tests, two are single point tests. A multi-point test uses various conditions of speed, pressure and/or load. A single point test applies a single set of conditions – those mostly likely to be the average conditions in which the tire would operate.
Within a particular test procedure, four methods can be used for measuring the energy loss that is converted to rolling resistance: force method, torque method, power method, and deceleration method. The force and torque methods are most common. In the October 2008 study, one laboratory evaluated all five test procedures on a single "force measurement method" machine. A second laboratory evaluated one procedure on a "torque measurement method" machine and the other four procedures on a "force measurement method" machine.
The October 2008 study found that each of the five methods reached very similar results: the ranking order for various tires' rolling resistance was largely identical. Because single-point testing is less expensive and less time consuming, NHTSA is inclined to such a procedure. However, the agency requests comments about the benefits and drawbacks of adopting a single point test.
The specific single-point procedure NHTSA proposes to require is ISO 28580. As between the two single point test methods evaluated, NHTSA prefers ISO 28580 because:
- ISO 28580 specifies a procedure by which to correlate results between laboratories and test equipment. NHTSA found that differences between labs and testing equipment were a significant source of variation; ISO 28580 is the only procedure with a mechanism for dealing with this variation. To adopt a different test method, NHTSA would have to develop a procedure to standardize results generated by different laboratories using different test equipment.
- ISO 28580 is the procedure specified in the pending European Union tire labeling program. Therefore manufacturers selling tires in both the US and EU countries would need to perform only one rolling resistance test.
ISO 28580 uses capped inflation pressure. NHTSA believes that this (as opposed to regulated inflation pressure) is a more accurate specification to use, but it seeks comment on this point.
NHTSA also seeks comment as to the type of surface — either textured or bare steel — that should be specified for used on the "roadwheel," the wheel on which the tire being tested will run. The agency is proposing that an 80 grit surface be used, both to prevent slippage and to make test results more repeatable. However, NHTSA would like comments on whether lab correlation procedures could effectively account for differences generated using different roadwheel surfaces.

Programmatic Completes Pass To Local Super Bowl Spot
Programmatic ad buying has crashed the Super Bowl, advertising's biggest day.
Mondelez has bought two local 15-second spots that will be seen in Erie, Pa., during the Super Bowl half-time show using TubeMogul's programmatic platform and Wide Orbit's TV online marketplace.
Programmatic buying matches employs automation consumer data with advertising inventory. Used first for buying online inventory, programmatic buying is being increasingly used for TV spots, especially at the local level.
The national Super Bowl ads, which NBC sold for about $4.5 million per 30 seconds and will reach millions of viewers, were sold the old-fashioned way.

A subtle one. I can't cope. I've found the marks on the wall in Farley's house and projected the panel dots on top.
I've got to the Villein Control Panel Interface but I am not getting anywhere. Here is what I have tried.
• Obvs first thought was that it's the shape 15 but that didn't lead me to anything.
• I managed to make something approximating 15 on the panel which made 734. That didn't work.
• Ditto with 990.
• Then I began to think that maybe it was rotated so I tried 51 all different ways. None of which worked.
• Then I tried making 15 in base 4 which would mean 33 but neither 033 or just 33 worked.
• I did the same with 51 in base four which meant 303 which is a three digit number. I was sure this would work. Nothing.
• Then I figured perhaps I had to pull the blind in Farley's house up a bit. So I did that and realised that the 15 *could* be slicing through the sections, not connecting them. So I tried that. Still nothing.
• I figured the markings around the 15 shape could need to be crossed to be lined up. Or ..
• they might mean something to do with connecting the dots at the side. Still nothing.
I've gone through the numbering system; I've tried to understand it and I can make sense of it but I still don't know how this helps me.
I'm wondering whether there's a piece of information somewhere else that I need to have; though I don't know what it could be.
The one mistake I did make was turning the waterfall rotator path back to a position where it means I can no longer get to the door on the other side of the river though, as far as I can remember, there was just a locked door there. I don't know how to get to the other side of the river any other way.
All this is assuming I'm right in assuming the map in the Farley's house with the projected circle around it is showing me the place where the door that the code unlocks is. It's the one with the three digits; white panel with a hinged cover, right?
Dear God. In Myst the code was engraved at the top of the tower.
If you think I'm on the right track and don't need any other information to work this out then do tell me. I was so determined to play this game without one hint but I'm worried because I borrowed the laptop and will have to return it soonish so I don't want to spend weeks on this.
If you can give me a super subtle hint that would be great. Thanks so much fellow obductees.

|Beth Ann can't believe he signed up to go back to the Vietnam War again.
Last week we left off with Kaylob telling Beth Ann he was leaving again. It took him a while to explain why, but nothing could make her understand. She had planned for them to be married when he got home. She doesn't want to hear why he's going back, because nothing makes sense to her. He tells her all about his brothers in his Bravo troop and how they are dying over there. But can anything fix the fact that he did this without talking it over. Riverside California is nothing like the safe little city they grew up in . She made Kaylob a promise never to leave when she was angry again. But didn't he make her a promise also?
"Beth Ann, you made a promise to me, remember? Never to take off when you're angry."
"Don't you dare talk to me about broken promises! Seems you can keep promises to everyone else but me, even my brother Cole."She ripped the ring off her finger and threw it at him, hitting him in the chest."I don't want to marry you anymore! Go ahead, have sex with someone else. Marry someone else. I'm done."
Thanks for stopping by. Now I hope you'll check out the official Six Sunday site to find more excellent six-sentences.

31st October, a rare Hindi film focused on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, decisively checks the first box. It, however, fails to score big on the second count.
Written by producer Harry Sachdeva and inspired by true incidents, 31st October makes a fair fist of recreating one of the darkest days in the history of independent India. Directed by Marathi filmmaker Shivaji Lotan Patil, 31st October makes the right noises but is unable to direct and land its blows with the ferocity that could get the audience all pumped up. That is a pity because it does serve a clear and necessary purpose. Its message is unambiguous – justice still eludes the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and it is about time we as a nation did something about it.
To make its point, the film tells the story of a middle class Sikh family in Delhi cowering in fear in their home and dodging the attention of a marauding, bloodthirsty mob on the day of Indira Gandhi's assassination.

More on:
The reasons why the US slowdown -- led by a fall in investment -- didn't lead to an improvement in the trade balance in the first quarter aren't that hard to find.
Consumption growth was actually very strong -- nearly as strong as in 2004 (see p. 5) . That was a year when the trade deficit really widened. Strong consumption growth pulled in imports -- especially, I suspect, Asian imports. Canada exports lots of wood and autos, and neither housing or the US automobile sector is doing well right now. And European exports to the US face the a large currency headwind.
But what of exports? Shouldn't a booming global economy -- and weakish dollar -- help boost US exports? In theory, yes. But that didn't happen in the first quarter. The BEA estimates exports fell a bit in q1 (v. q4). And looking at the US export data, I can see why. The y/y rate of export growth has slowed -- and the q/q growth rate (using a rolling three month sum that takes December-February as the last quarter) has been decelerating sharply for the past couple of months.
What happened? To be honest, I don't know. Part of it is that export growth was very strong in q4, and net exports contributed very strongly to growth in q4 (see p. 6). That set a high base.
Part of it is that the dollar isn't really all that weak. It is very weak -- it hit a record low v the euro today -- against all European currencies. And it is weak against the commodity-exporting, high carry, high current account deficit countries in the South Pacific. But it isn't weak against the yen, against the RMB or against many other emerging currencies. The story right now is generalized euro strength, not generalized dollar weakness.
That matters. Net exports didn't contribute positively to US growth in the first quarter. But they contributed very positively to China's growth in the first quarter. The US needed a boost. China didn't. So long as dollar weakness (against europe and some others) means RMB weakness (against europe and some others) it may do more to boost the Chinese economy than the US economy.
Globally, a fall in the commodity exporters' surplus will be offset by a rise in Asia's surplus, not a fall in the US deficit. That clearly is what happened in q1.
Since private capital wants to flow into Asia, not flow out of it, the rise in Asia's surplus also means that Asian central banks -- with a bit of help from Latam and Russia -- had to finance a growing share of the US deficit. That also clearly happened in q1.
A fall in investment usually generates an improvement in the current account deficit. That didn't happen in the US, at least not in q1. Savings -- by definition -- fell faster than investment. Presumably US households drew on their savings to support ongoing strong consumption growth.
A guess that shouldn't be a total surprise. A surge in investment usually leads to a deterioration in the current account balance. That happened in the US in the late 90s -- and again from 2003-05, when residential investment surged. But the huge surge in investment in China has been associated with a growing external surplus. Savings has increased more.
My interpretation of all this? No shock. The de facto US-Chinese currency and monetary union has introduced a lot of distortions into the global economy. It is a strange monetary union. The faster growing portion of the monetary union has lower interest rates than the slower growing portion of the monetary union (because of expectations of RMB appreciation). And it has led the real exchange rate of the industrialized economy with the largest current account surplus to depreciate even as its economy booms ...

The latest installment of VMax200 saw a Koenigsegg trifecta at the top of the table AND a new VMax200 speed record.
The Koenigsegg One:1 set a new VMax record three times in one day back in 2016, topping out at a software-limited 240mph.
That record stood until May 2018, when it was broken by the newly-delivered Agera RSN with a Vmax of 242mph. The One:1 wasn't there that day, however, so while the RSN broke the One:1's record, what would happen if both cars were de-restricted at the same meeting, at the same time?
Cue VMax200's final event for 2018, where the stage was set for some friendly rivalry underpinned by dogged determination.
Vmax200 is a top-speed sprint event held at Kendrew Barracks, a former RAF base, with a runway measuring some 1.3 miles (2.1 kms) in distance.
As mentioned, the Koenigsegg One:1 run by the BHP Project was there. The Agera RSN of Neildmr was also in attendance. They were joined by a VMax200 first-timer in the Agera R owned by Zach's Garage.
Koenigsegg test driver, Niklas Lilja, shared time behind the wheel with the owners of all three cars at different times during the day.
The One:1 was fast all day. With only 1.3 miles to play with, explosive power off the line is just as important as building speed through the mid-range. The One:1 might theoretically be hampered at the top end by its prodigious downforce but it's certainly quick getting there, and posted a top speed of 245.6mph (395 km/h).
The RSN was fantastically quick all day, with a top speed just decimal points shy of its 242mph record (389 km/h).
The Agera R is an engine evolution removed from the One:1 and RS but was still, by all objective measures, stonking quick. It posted a Vmax of 229 mph (368 km/h) on the day.
The three Koenigseggs were the top 3 cars at the final VMax200 event of 2018.
The One:1 and Agera RS now hold positions 1, 2 and 3 on the all-time VMax200 leaderboard. The Agera R posted a time to give it a share of 6th place on the all-time list.
