The photographers have more opportunity to achieve familiarity with the environment, but do not necessarily feel relaxed when dealing with subjects. Although this is very much a personal matter, it is an important part of photographic technique. As much as possible should also be done to encourage a subject or model to relax.
People from all walks of life generally appreciate firm but considerate direction, and an understanding of what is expected of them. Aim to minimize the time spent adjusting equipment, and project confidence wherever possible. Music can help to ease tension and fill gaps in the conversation. Safety, warmth, drinks and the normal considerations of comfort should also be incorporated into studio management. Models, professional or otherwise, will be more familiar with working procedures but still need privacy, changing facilities and somewhere to relax.
Amateur models can be found by placing an advertisement in a shop window, newspaper or magazine. Also make your interest known at local photographic clubs, college art departments, dance or drama groups and other similar organizations. People who have been trained to perform often make interesting subjects.
Another approach is to print cards giving your name and contact information. These can be distributed locally and even handed to strangers in the street. Explain that you are a photographer working on a particular project, and that you are looking for models or subjects. Don't expect an immediate answer, and don't ask a second time - just leave your card and move on before embarrassment sets in. If those you meet want to make contact they will do so.
People are often flattered by your interest in them, but make sure they understand your real motives. A hidden agenda always leads to problems. If your interest is based upon making money, declare it. If you want to photograph a girl in a bikini because you think she has a beautiful face and a perfect figure, then be honest about it. If you intend sending the images to a magazine, explain this to her and ask her to sign a model release form. If she is under 18 seek the permission of a parent or guardian. It's not fair to do otherwise. If you are planning to photograph children, arrange for a parent to be present.

Syria sending defiant message to Israel, courtesy Iran, Russia: Israeli media
DAMASCUS - Israeli media outlets suggest that currents of change flowing across the region could signal new equations under which Syria would be setting the new rules of the game for Israel thanks to its alliance with Iran and Russia.
Different-minded Israeli media have in recent days been interpreting the latest developments inside Syria — including the Syrian military's move to intercept intruding Israeli warplanes on October 16 — as a "confident" or "defiant" message by Damascus to the Israeli regime.
An analysis piece published on the website of the Israeli daily Haaretz on Monday said the recent developments concerning Syria were "not encouraging."
'No more freedom of action for Israel'
It referred to several reported developments to conclude that the winds were shifting.
The interception of the Israeli fighter jets, a purported firing of projectiles from Syria into Israel on Saturday, and recent statements by Syrian and Iranian officials, the article said, were signs that Damascus and its allies were trying "to dictate new rules of the game to Israel."
It said the Israeli regime had been conducting "attacks on arms convoys in… [Syrian] territory" seemingly with "freedom of action" since the Syrian conflict began in 2011.
"But, the circumstances have changed over the past few months," it said, pointing to the Syrian government's increasing wins against foreign-backed militants.
"Last week's anti-aircraft fire can be seen both as Syrian retaliation and as an attempt to deter Israel by warning that its planes will no longer enjoy the broad freedom of action they have exploited in recent years," it said.
Israel regularly hits positions held by the Syrian army in the Golan Heights, sometimes describing the attacks as "retaliatory." Syria says the raids aim to boost the Takfiri militant groups fighting against government forces. Israel has occupied parts of the Syrian Golan Heights and is openly offering medical treatment to the militants wounded in battles with Syrian government forces.
Iran and Russia, on the other hand, have been offering advisory military support to the Syrian government in its battle against extremist militants. Russia has also been carrying out an aerial bombardment campaign against the positions of hard-line militants.
Last week, the chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces visited Damascus to discuss Iran and Syria's long-time bilateral military cooperation. There, Major General Mohammad Baqeri said Israel could not be allowed to violate Syrian territory whenever it pleased.
Later, the Iranian major general said the days of Daesh in Syria were numbered.
Meanwhile, another analysis piece published by The Times of Israel on Sunday referred to the same set of reported developments concerning Syria over the recent weeks and said a "boost" was evident in Damascus' self-confidence.
It specifically pointed to what Israeli officials have claimed was the firing of a barrage of rockets into Israel and said Damascus may be sending a message to Israel.
On Saturday, the Israeli army said that it had "targeted three artillery cannons" of the Syrian government in the Golan Heights in what it claimed to have been a "response to the [firing of] projectiles that hit Israel."
On Thursday, Israel had struck a Syrian artillery position near the southwestern town of Quneitra.

A Novel Way to Fix Your Marriage
Are you tired of the fighting that constantly goes on in your marriage? Fed up with the unending criticism, the arguments, the yelling? You may have read some marriage and self-help books with little improvement; maybe you've even been to counseling and found it unhelpful. If so, here's a different way of looking at a solution that just might turn things around.
Reconcilable and irreconcilable differences
Sometimes there are problems in a marriage that simply won't go away in the short term. Childhood trauma, infertility, and financial hardship are all issues that are not likely to disappear quickly. As I always tell my clients, the problem you're here for didn't come up overnight, and it's not going away overnight either. Marital conflict is typically brewing for years before couples seek out professional help. Consequently, it can be important to find ways to improve your marriage even as you struggle with an issue that may ultimately be unresolvable. (Note: unresolvable issues do not necessarily spell the end of a marriage. But that's for another article.)
Recommended – Save My Marriage Course
What to do instead
The idea that we need to find the weaknesses in the relationship and hammer away at those first is sometimes counterproductive. Although our first instinct is usually to fix the problem, there is a different approach that in many situations works better – and that is to focus on the good, rather than the bad. (When you say it like that, of course, it almost sounds obvious!) Rather than trying to eliminate behaviors and attitudes that you don't want, try increasing those that you do want.
For example, if you have been unsuccessful at reducing criticism in your marriage, try instead increasing praise. Even in the most troubled marriages there is usually something that can be appreciated. Maybe your husband works hard to support the family or is generally neat (even if he leaves his socks on the floor); maybe your wife is good at staying on top of the family finances or is a good cook (even if she doesn't always have dinner ready on time). Or, if the problem is that things have been less than perfect in the bedroom, spend a little extra effort on fun non-sexual activities you can do together, or pick up a new hobby together.
Good and bad coexist
This is not an attempt to shove problems under the rug. If your spouse has a sharp tongue, being a good cleaner does not make that go away, and if your sex life is unsatisfying, playing Scrabble isn't going to replace that. Nor am I suggesting that these problems should not be dealt with – eventually. Rather, the approach here is to infuse the relationship with positivity even as the problems linger. No relationship is devoid of problems. The renowned marriage researcher John Gottman notes that a good marriage has a ratio of 5 positive comments to 1 negative one – which means that there are still going to be negative comments, but that the marriage can thrive nonetheless. This also means that if there are lots of negative comments flying back and forth in your home, you'd better get cracking on raising the number of positive ones as well!
Positive energy
Many couples find that when they start hearing compliments and appreciation from their spouse, they can't help feel good about it despite other problems that exist. Similarly, putting additional effort into having fun together or doing extra work around the house is a meaningful contribution to the relationship. Putting positive energy into the relationship provides fuel for couples to keep at it – to keep striving for the fulfilling marriage they had "back at the beginning." Even when difficult issues persist and threaten to sink things, these positive interactions can help keep things afloat.

Membership FAQ's
To become a ZeroZen Member, you must:
Hire us to build a custom website
Have gotten a 2-Hour Website Formula site
Attended the DIY Website Master Class in full
The membership fee is auto billed drafted annually on the anniversary of your initial membership registration.
Actually - this is the common misconception.
Let's take Bluehost or Godaddy for example:
The recommended hosting option for a WordPress site on Godaddy is the WordPress hosting plan for $19.99 that includes an SSL certificate for 1 year. (side note: an SSL is required if you don't want visitors to see the "unsecure" notification when they try to go to your websites)
Take a look at this screenshot and you will see that after year 1, the SSL will cost you $74.99/year and the included email will cost something as well but they don't list it.
In other words, when you renew your hosting for another year, you'll be paying $319.87+/year. This doesn't include any sort of technical updates, fixing things, backups, monitoring, how-tos, etc.
The same goes for Bluehost.
Hosting companies do 1 single task - host website and email files. That's it.
If your files (i.e. website) are not working right, it isn't their responsibility to fix it. You will still have to hire someone to fix the issue, which can be costly.
You can cancel anytime.
Send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to let us know you want to cancel your membership. There are no refunds for unused days left on your current subscription. You will still have access to the member benefits until the anniversary date of your membership - when it will expire.
All the benefits listed are part of the membership plan and cannot be paid for a-la-carte.
Around 33 backups.
We keep about 33 redundant backups of each site. We keep the 3 recent on hand for a quick restore and can fall back on later ones if needed.
But better yet - we will move it for you, free of charge, as a sending off gift.
If you send someone our way and they pay for a Website Formula site, pay for a White Label site, or join the DIY Website Master Class, you'll get paid $125.
You will need to have a PayPal account.

Working with a comprehensive inventory of advanced testing techniques, Optical Surfaces can produce both Plano-convex and Plano-concave toroidal mirrors in a range of shapes (largest dimension up to 400mm) with high performance and durable optical coatings that provide superior image quality.
With workshops and testfacilities deep underground where temperatures remain constant and vibration is practically non-existent Optical Surfaces routinely produces toroidal mirrors in a range of materials (Zerodur, BK7, Fused Silica) with typical surface accuracy of better than lambda/5 (dependent on size and radius) and surface quality of 20:10 scratch dig.
Toroidal mirrors are normally used where a beam needs to be focused or folded. The design of toroidal mirrors eliminates astigmatism normally caused by concave spherical mirrors. Toroidal mirrors are widely used for correction of aberration in a range of applications served by spectroscopic instruments, monochromators and imaging devices that require pinpoint focusing.
Optical Surfaces ISO 9001-2000 approved manufacturing facility provides the flexible resources to supply from single specialist requirements to OEM quantities. Benefiting from its stable environment, quality testing becomes quantifiable and reliable. All toroidal mirrors are provided with a complete quality test assurance report.

4 advantages of renting a car for the holidays
It is believed that many people have a car for their trip and transport. Some like traveling by public transport. However, many other people prefer renting a car for their long-distance journey.
This is because renting a car presents more advantages than using your own or by public transport for the holidays. Journeyers trust in Travel Agencies like Opodo for the car rental because it is easier for them to find the right car with a holiday company.
4 advantages of renting a car for your holidays
1- Traveling by car reduces the traveling cost
No matter how far the distance is, a car is able to join your destinations by road. This is to avoid the airplane expensive costs. If you travel with many people in your family, the costs may increase higher than expected. So the better choice for a lower and nicer trip is driving a rented car.
2- Renting a car reduces the risks of extra charges
Keep in mind, using your own car may bother your holidays because of unexpected issues that may happen during your trip. It is the same as traveling by public transport. On the contrary, renting a car reduces your problems because it is in charge of everything once you pay:
- No need to think about the fuel and oil
- You don't need to pay for the maintenance
- There is no need for you to hire a driver if you don't want to drive
- There is no need to pay a taxi wherever you go
3- You have many cars to choose from
Wherever you want to go, a car rental company has many cars that meet your needs and likes. The travel agency can help you find any car you want, included Opodo as mentioned above.
They can suggest you the one which fits your way and the number of people who travel together. This is to say that you are free to choose the car you want to take for your holidays.
4- Renting a car makes you feel freer during your holidays
Imagine yourself traveling by public transport. You have no choice, you cannot decide where to go or which way to follow and what time to leave. You have to follow the normal travel of the bus. It will be on the contrary if you use a rental car.
- You can go everywhere you want to go to the country with a free and comfortable displacement
- You can arrange your schedule about what time to leave and what time to go back
- You are the only one who decides what luggage and people to take with you
Finding a rental car
Finding a car for rent is not that hard. Make your plan, and choose your destination. Then make the reservation online. Many rental car companies are available for tourists.
All you have to do is choose the right one so you will not be disappointed. I suggest Opodo as your partner for your trip. This agency can arrange almost everything you need during your holidays like flight and hotel booking and some other services.

Labour Day is a day to celebrate the gains of the working class. It is a day for socialists and trade unionists to remember past victories and collectively struggle for new ones. It is not an event for strikebreaking politicians like Justin Trudeau to stump for the upcoming election.
Hamilton Labour Day is organized each year by the Hamilton and District Labour Council (HDLC) the local affiliate of the Canadian Labour Congress. For decades the Labour Day parade has always brought together Hamilton activists, trade unionists, socialists, Indigenous groups, and others into one giant march. It is a traditional show of solidarity. However, this year the Hamilton leadership of the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) thought politicking was more important than solidarity. Without informing the HDLC, LIUNA invited Trudeau to march with their contingent. This decision was only presented to the HDLC as fact after the prime minister accepted the invitation, and the HDLC was told four days ahead of the march.
This decision was not met with cheers of joy, but disgust and anger. Rank-and-file union members and the leadership of the HDLC were upset that LIUNA had taken this action unilaterally without informing or consulting any other labour organizations. And more importantly, they were upset that a politician who denied affiliate members their rights as a union also attacked Indigenous land protectors, failed to fix the water crisis facing Indigenous communities, allowed corporations to steal workers' pensions, and continues to bail out the rich.
On Labour Day, Trudeau arrived around 9:30 a.m. with heavy security at the back of the parade where he was met by a group of protesters from Grassy Narrows Solidarity. Despite what has been said in some news articles, the protestors did not block the march, only the contingent with Trudeau. They were joined by activists across the Hamilton left, including local Fightback comrades. While Trudeau took some selfies he was met with jeers about the conditions of Indigenous communities, anti-worker activities and bailouts.
When Trudeau wanted to go forward, police became very aggressive with the protesters, pushing them along with no regard to their safety. Trudeau tried to sneak around the protestors, but the group was determined. For about 10 minutes, the police continued to push, shove and grab the activists until a large contingent of workers from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) showed up. There was no longer a question of the police being able to bully their way forward. With the numbers of CUPW and ATU members present coupled with the militant mood of the crowd, the police knew they could not push forward anymore. The anger against Trudeau was loud and clear. There was a stand off for about 35 minutes. The demand of the protestors was simple: "Trudeau goes, we go". Trudeau eventually ran away, whisked away by his security. Once Trudeau left, the protest continued forward in the Labour Day march and the LIUNA contingent continued marching.
The Labour Day march ended in a local park in Hamilton with unions holding a barbecue. Trudeau thought he could show up here and get a few more photo ops. He tried to rush in, but was quickly surrounded by protesters and left after only four minutes. The police who had had their egos bruised were even more violent, intentionally trying to separate protesters from each other and shoving protesters out of the way, sometimes into areas that were dangerous to walk in. Ultimately this aggression of the police did nothing to dissuade the protesters, but it did manage to anger regular union folks who had their booths disrupted by police shoving protestors.
Trudeau was followed to his cavalcade by protesters continuing to chant "Hey ho, Trudeau has got to go". The lesson was quite clear: Trudeau was not welcome in Hamilton.
Lies of the capitalist media
Trudeau's hope was to present himself as the labour-friendly prime minister with nice pictures of happy union workers around him. After years of Liberal austerity and attacks, most workers already know that's a joke. But this year it was a particularly sour note for Trudeau to show up to Labour Day since he legislated CUPW back to work less than 10 months ago.
The protesters can't stop the Liberals from getting that precious campaign material. Trudeau smugly posed for selfies while Indigenous activists asked him when the money for people suffering from mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows will be coming. He appeared in photos with a big grin as if the question of access to water for Indigenous communities wasn't even worth addressing.
But selfies and campaign stumps are worth nothing if the visit itself is a PR disaster. So the Liberal spin machine had to turn reality on its head. Reporting on the protest, The Hamilton Spectator initially released an article titled "Group hijacks Hamilton Labour Day parade: Justin Trudeau eventually joins in".
They might as well have titled the article "Angry leftists stop nice man from taking a nice stroll" for all the deliberate lies being spread here.
In response to the article, the HDLC released a statement expressing that this statement was utterly false. The HDLC explained that Indigenous activists, Fightback, the IWW and other protestors were not only welcome, but friends of the council. Trudeau was never invited. If anyone hijacked the rally it was Trudeau for his photo op.
The Spectator quickly changed the title and content of the article. The article stated that there were "only 10 to 20" protestors who were "led by Marxists and anarchists". This is entirely false. The protest included hundreds of trade unionists, Indigenous activists, and a variety of social groups. This was an act of mass dissent. This was an act of a city that has had enough of corrupt Liberal governments. This is a purposeful lie by the Spectator to play down the mass anger that Trudeau is facing in Canada.
The article also states that Trudeau rejoined the protest a block later. Again this is false, and entirely uncorroborated. It even contradicts itself: if Trudeau rejoined the protest, then why bring up the story of the aunt and nephew who really wanted to meet Trudeau but missed that opportunity because of all these pesky protesters? They must have been very unfortunate to be waiting in the one block of the parade where Trudeau was not marching. The truth is that he didn't rejoin. The Spectator is attempting to show that Trudeau wouldn't back down to protesters. They want to give the appearance that opposing the Liberals is impossible.
The entire article should be dismissed. Not one single fact in it is true. These articles and the rest like it serve one purpose: to prop up Trudeau's "Sunny Ways" campaign sequel. Thus these pro-Liberal media outlets have to pretend that mass protest and mass dissent against Trudeau doesn't exist and that it isn't effective. The truth is that workers and youth tired of Liberal lies are looking for an alternative, and mass action is the way forward.
Which way forward for labour?
Unfortunately, the incident with LIUNA inviting Trudeau is only the latest iteration of labour leaders pushing class collaborationism. We also saw recently that Unifor invited Trudeau to their convention. These labour leaders think they will get sweetheart deals by cozying up to the bosses. Nothing could be further from the truth. In an age of austerity and capitalist crisis, these leaders will be the tool for Trudeau to carry forward the cuts to the workers.
The rank and file need to push out the right-wing leaders who push for collaboration with the Liberals or even the Tories. A real working class leadership with a militant attitude is needed. That is the lesson of the Hamilton protests. Not even a prime minister with a huge security entourage can march for a photo op when confronted with even a fraction of the might of the working class. The working class has the power to lead a militant fightback against the bosses and win. Hamilton showed that this Labour Day by kicking out Trudeau. Now it's time to apply that lesson to the rest of Canada.

A Few More Real World Oriented Maps
I have uploaded three more maps from the old Empire Deluxe map collection. Most of these were originally created a long while back, and though city efficiency ratios probably need to be changed, the geography is still good. I do not know the original authors of these maps, except the Asian map has the markings of 'Che', who was Steve Barker.
These are:
- An Asian Map – mainly focused on the Yellow Sea and Sea of Japan
- A Map Of North America
- A Map Of Europe
These three maps are now online accessible from within the game. To grab them, on the map editor screen, look for the upload/download button in the lower left.
I think real world maps are often fun to play on, as are random world and symmetrical maps. If you have a map you would really enjoy, even if it was just a random build map, you should consider uploading it for others to enjoy!
As with almost all other legacy maps, those maps were most likely carefully entered into the '93 Empire Deluxe map editor by hand. As you may know, there is a lot about the game that is open. With the Combined Edition version of the game I wanted the map file format to be text based to give enterprising cartographers with technical skills the ability to possibly generate maps from other data sources. The format for the map file is online,
So if you are of that sort, I believe these could put your data into the map format in a fairly straight forward manner. If you do, I would love to hear about it.

Related to Thickness: thickness gauge, Thickness planer
The vertical depth, measured in geometric or geopotential units, of a layer in the atmosphere bounded by surfaces of two different values of the same physical quantity, usually constant-pressure surfaces.
(geology), the thickness of a stratum (vein, lens) or complex of geological deposits (suite, stage, series, system, lava sheets). A distinction is made between the true thickness (t) measured by the length of a perpendicular between the roof and floor of a stratum and the thickness visible on the earth's surface (s). The true thickness is determined by the formula t = s sin (δ + σ), where δ is the angle of dip of the stratum and σ is the angle of inclination of the earth's surface. The thickness of each stratigraphic subdivision varies along the strike.

text: It's not easy being a religiously conservative school in a community of liberal politics. But that's where Colorado Christian University finds itself. However, CCU is not backing down, and certainly not watering down its beliefs to suit the cultural climate. It is the institutional version of Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop, who won a Supreme Court victory for his right to religious freedom in not baking a cake for a same sex wedding. Like Phillips, CCU is standing its ground, ramping up the conservative rhetoric, and in so doing, trying to steer young minds to a culturally counter-intuitive way to of thinking and seeing the world. On this installment of Lighthouse Faith Podcast, I talk with Dr. Donald Sweeting, president of Colorado Christian University, and Jeff Hunt, a close friend of Jack Phillips by the way, and the Vice President of Public Policy at CCU's Centennial Institute, a conservative think-tank and political activist arm of the school. The two talk about the challenges of influencing students who've been programmed by a secular, liberal culture. It's a lesson for us all.

Review of Series 2, Episode 10 – with spoilers
As readers may have noticed, I'd fallen out of the habit of writing individual reviews of Doctor Who episodes, mainly because I've been blogging a lot more during the week. But Anna requested it, so I guess I'd better get back on with it.
So. Love & Monsters. The title pretty much sums up the revived version of Doctor Who; an emotional heart to a story is just as important as a well-realised alien menace, if not more so. And, in a story that, for production reasons, necessitated the absence of the Doctor and Rose, we get to see the effects of the time-travelling duo on the people who normally barely register on the radar.
It's an established trick: as Russell T Davies notes in his commentary, Star Trek: The Next Generation had Below Decks; Buffy The Vampire Slayer had Season 3's The Zeppo – still one of my favourite episodes. Stylistically, Love & Monsters has very strong echoes of the latter, with the main characters' world-saving exploits played for laughs.
In Buffy's case, though, the lead was taken up by Xander, a character we had already warmed to. With L&M, the mantle is assumed by a new character, Elton – played with aplomb by Hustle's Marc Warren. With able support from Shirley Henderson and the rest of fan/support group L.I.N.D.A., the story careers at breakneck speed between comedy and pathos.
And then, of course, there's Jackie Tyler. Underused so far in Series 2, Camille Coduri's fabulous portrayal provides the continuity with the rest of the series, giving Elton and Ursula's story a firm foundation in the Doctor Who universe. For those of us who relish every return visit to the Powell Estate, this was a treat, with Coduri able to switch from comedic temptress to heart-breakingly stone-faced protective mother in a heartbeat. If rumours are to be believed, Jackie may not be appearing in future series; if that is the case, then Love & Monsters shows she'll be going out on a high.
There are really so many great moments, visually and scriptwise, in this episode. But for me, seeing how L.I.N.D.A. grew out of a group of people following the Doctor's exploits, into a band of friends revelling in each other's company and sharing their passions for life, mirrors the best groups of fans. In my case, it was an online group that also consisted of a friend from university who went on to edit Doctor Who Magazine, my cousin and a certain exec producer of Doctor Who and writer of this episode.
In many such fan groups, over-eager insistence on following a regimented study of the original topic kills the group – as metaphorically shown with Peter Kay's Victor Kennedy on screen. Is it any coincidence, I wonder, that the Victor Kennedys of the Doctor Who fan world have been the same people who have produced the biggest negative reactions against this sublime episode?

Oh dear, this is so hard.
The chapter starts with a passage that most lterally interpreted means angels started to intermarry with human women. Or it could mean people of mixed belief systems married. Or high-borne and low borne.
Can't say I'm getting tremendous spiritual benefit from this. Keep moving
Prayer: give me some sugar here father, I'm working on the principle that all scripture is beneficial for growing in you as promised. In our family there is a lot of sickness, and I am stressed though blessed to be starting a new job in a week. Speak to me!
The salient point is that people, left to their own devices, have descended into such corruption and wickedness that the Lord regrets the whole project and wants to wipe them out. This passage is problematic too: does God change his mind? Make mistakes? Though for me it helps to consider Christ. Christ had a clear mission and task, but was never too focussed on it not to risk it by having compassion in situations that arose from the need for wine at the canaan wedding to the death of a nobleman's daughter. I'm sure Noah was not sinless, but he was faithful, and God could not wipe him out. The lord's heart was deeply troubled. Its hard to keep this perspective of God in mind.
Prayer: you know what? I'm deeply troubed. A mess of change, fear, sickness and excitement is swirling in my head, kept me up last night. The Lord understands. Its really hard speaking to him at the moment, I feel under attack almost. Stop thinking of him as above all that.
So this is the account of Noah and his family; a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
So this familiar story. A child's story, with animals. A very concrete working of God.
A massive "I told you so" story. Noah the mad eccentric, proved right when everyone else laughed.
But it's also a mysterious tragedy. How did it get to this, a few chapters from the optimism of creation, to a world so corrupt that it is better off downed?
Today it just seems tragic.

In keyword testing (preferred), does TestComplete provide something that I can give a parameter of milliseconds like 7500 and it provides a pretty time, like 7:30.
I believe I've exhausted all available searching online, but I could be wrong. I actually hope I'm wrong about that.
I need this in order to log "quick to read" Counter values in the log doing Performance testing.
Go to Solution.
There is no built in utility that I know of to do what you're asking. You will have to write some sort of custom code to convert a millisecond measurement to seconds.
Technically speaking, 7500 converted to a "pretty" time is simply 7.5 seconds. It's simply a matter of doing an arithmetic operation after converting your string to a number. In JavaScript, it would look something like
function millisecondsToSeconds(time){
return (aqConvert.VarToInt(time) / 1000);

Review by
Added: August 30, 2007
We here at the M&V have been plowing through those lovable action flicks from the eighties over the last week or so, and it's been a damned fun ride all around. I mean, seriously - who doesn't love the
series, and who didn't get a kick out of
Last Action Hero
? Yes, the eighties produced some classics in the genre, and it also produced some of the best action stars in the history of film. Arnold Schwarzenegger? Sylvester Stallone? Patrick Swayze? Well, maybe not Swayze, but Schwarzenegger and Stallone had enough combined testosterone to back up my statement quite nicely, thank you very much. However, whereas those two men filled the larger-than-life action roles better than any other man working then or now, nobody has even been able to play the everyman action hero quite as convincingly as Bruce Willis.
Plot? You mean you haven't seen
Die Hard
and need me to tell you about it? Well, you should just exit this page and go pick yourself up a copy, but for those of you who are looking for a refresher, here goes. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is a New York cop who finds himself in California to visit his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) for Christmas. He visits her at her office, a high-rise building that is owned by an extremely wealthy Japanese man with extensive business connections, and everything is going good - well, as good as it can go when John finds out that his wife has dropped his last name.
That will soon be the least of his worries, however, as a group of German terrorists led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) have infiltrated the building, locked out the elevators, and have everyone trapped on the thirtieth floor of the building... everyone, that is, except for our law enforcement hero. Now, it's up to John to sneak around and foil the plans of those evil Germans, save as many hostages as possible, and ride off into the sunset with his little lady. Helping him out as best as possible from the outside is Sgt. Al Powell (Reginald VelJohnson), a California cop who immediately senses that the man talking to him over CB radio is more than just some random weekend warrior, but will the two be able to overcome these terrorists?
What sets
Die Hard
apart from all of the other "blow-'em-up" action flicks of the eighties is the relative realism found within. Granted, watching a man rappelling down the side of a forty-story building using nothing more than a firehose isn't exactly the very definition of realism, but the characters and events are placed much more firmly in the real world than most other films of this nature. John McClane is an actual man who feels pain and is definitely a mortal, not an invincible killing machine who can shrug off bullets as though they were mere mosquitoes. This is the main thing that sets the film apart from the rest of the pack; mindless action flicks with invincible heroes certainly have their place, but a film like this is much more engaging for those of us living in the real world.
Now, with all of that said, there is a whole lot of great action sequences to be found here. You want massive explosions? How about bloody shoot-outs and brutal fist-fights, all complimented by some of the greatest one-liners of all time? Wait... how about
greatest one-liner of all time? You'll find that all here, and the special effects are amazing not just by eighties standards, but by today's as well. When John drops that stick of C4 down the elevator shaft, the resulting explosion is still a thing of beauty even when compared to the recent releases from the action genre - who says CGI is king?
A great character and excellent special effects can make for a damned entertaining night in front of the tube, but it's the cast members who really make a movie memorable. This is yet another area where the original
Die Hard
excels, as Bruce Willis is perfect in this type of role. It's hard to believe that he was fifth choice for the role; honestly, can you imagine Burt Reynolds or Richard Gere (who were both higher priorities than Willis during casting) delivering the infamous "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker" quote? I dare say that the film just wouldn't have been the same without Willis in this role, as nobody else could have built such a memorable, convincing character that is both vulnerable and badass at the same time. Then we have Alan Rickman as the villain of the film, and folks - this guy plays the villain perfectly. The man just oozes venom, and by the time you've seen him in just one or two scenes, you'll be eagerly awaiting the final showdown between him and Willis. That, my friends, is how you play a villain.
A classic film which deserves every bit of praise that it receives, pure and simple. 10/10.

This is, and I feel will always be the perfect action movie. 10/10
- added 08/30/2007, 06:52 PM
This may very well be, the finest action movie I have ever seen. Willis is as badass as they come, and to see him and Rickman duke it out in, essentially, a battle of wits is legendary. I will NEVER get tired of this movie. I could watch it everyday, and still laugh my ass off, while cheering for Bruno to toss another left hook into the baddies. 10/10
- added 08/30/2007, 06:57 PM
Don't think I love this film quite as much as you guys, but it is one of the best action films ever made. Alan Rickman is phenomenal, as always, and this is the role Bruce Willis will always be remembered for. Solid action flick -- highly entertaining. 9/10.

As the Garden State, New Jersey is justly famous for its tomatoes and bell peppers, cranberries and sweet corn, but it doesn't top the list for growing and harvesting any of these. Perhaps not surprisingly, given the length of the New Jersey coast, we are No. 1 in the nation for clam/ocean quahog production, harvesting 17.2 million pounds of these shellfish, according to the "2014 Annual Report and Agricultural Statistics" from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture (the most recent figures available).
New Jersey also has the second spot locked up for two other briny treats: sea scallops (5.6 million pounds) and surf clams (18.7 million pounds).
So what about those perennial favorites: tomatoes (7th, 58.8 million pounds), bell peppers (3rd, 97.7 million pounds), cranberries (3rd, 54.2 million pounds), and sweet corn (6th, 48 million pounds).

Honeywell Introduces QuadratureSpeed and Direction Sensor With Enhanced Reliability
November 03, 2017
- The MagSpeed Quadrature Sensor, SNG-Q Series, meets performance and reliability standards in:
- Environmental Sealing: The MagSpeed Quadrature Sensor meets IP67/69k standards, among the highest ingress protection ratings for the transportation industry. This will enable the sensor to withstand water and moisture from penetrating the sensors that could cause damage to the component and system failures.
- Electrical Noise Immunity: The new sensor's electrical noise radiated immunity (EMC) is rated to 100 volts/meter, which meets the stringent ISO rating for the transportation industry. As a result, the MagSpeed Quadrature Sensor is more protected from outside radio noise and frequencies from cell phone towers, two-way radio devices, and other communication signals that could interfere with sensor readings and signals.
- Temperature Range: The MagSpeed Quadrature Sensor is capable of operating in a wider temperature range from minus 40 to 150 degrees Celsius, providing more flexibility to design engineers in the sensor's installation location. The increased temperature range will help the sensor's reliability when installed near a machine's engine, exhaust or brakes where exposure to high temperatures is common.

Funeral Tribute Archive Set Up For Humanists
Humanists UK, which has been providing humanist funerals for those who aren't religious since the late 19th century, has revealed that it is establishing an online funeral tribute archive.
The idea behind the service is that people can share stories and memories of their loved ones and their lives for future generations to read and enjoy.
Politics.co.uk revealed that anyone who has their funeral service conducted by a celebrant registered with Humanists UK will be eligible to enter the archive. The organisation estimates that up to one million people could already be eligible to have their tributes lodged in the archive.
Families of those who have passed away can submit their script of the eulogy to the organisation, which will then add them to the archive.
Among the best known people to have had humanist funerals in recent years have been author Terry Pratchett, comedian Victoria Wood, and actor Warren Mitchell.
Chief executive of Humanists UK Andrew Copson told the news provider why he believes it's so important to preserve these tributes or eulogies. "It tells the life story of the person who has died. This new archive will preserve these stories and make them available to future generations," he stated.
Another way to commemorate someone's life at the service is through a personalised funeral order of service, which can also be a nice memento for mourners to take away with them.
The Express recently reported that TV presenter Carol Smillie has become the first celebrity to be registered as a humanist celebrant, allowing her to conduct humanist marriages, funerals and child-naming ceremonies.

There's an odd story following the firing of Matt Lauer of the Today Show (for sexual harassment).
Somewhere early in 2017....a property came up for sale in New Zealand (south isle). It's a 26,000 acre sheep-ranch....referred to as 'Hunter Valley'.
If you go and pull up the map....along the western side of the south isle, are a ton of mountains and in the middle of this range is this lake (Lake Hawea). Highway 6 runs along the western end of the lake, and this ranch basically sits on the whole (emphasize WHOLE) western end of the lake. The dirt road out from Highway 6 to the actual ranch house? It's at least five miles....maybe even going on seven miles.
Based on the newspaper accounts, it'd been run for years by a New Zealand couple and they put it up for sale, and Lauer bought it in March....for around 10-million USD (more or less).
Locals came immediately upon the sale and had negativity. First, it was another foreigner (something that gets discussed alot by New Zealand folks these days). Then came this issue of access. The old owners had allowed some limited access.....mostly for bike races and special events. But for the most part, the dirt road was not a public road. They wanted Lauer to agree on full open access, and that wasn't forthcoming. The dirt road ownership? Well.....it's a private road....not a state road.
As for civilization? Well, that's another funny part of this story. Where this ranch house and property exists....there's nothing else there. Here's the lake on one side and a snow-capped mountain on the other side, and tons of sheep. If you wanted zero stress, limited contact with humans, and solitude? Well....this is the place..
Looking for a gas station? The nearest one to the gate of the property....is twelve miles away. Looking for a grocery? You can figure roughly a 45-minute drive from the house to a real grocery (not a general store). The local 'city'? Wanaka. If you'd gone there thirty years ago, it was purely ranch property, cafe or two, maybe two or three stores, and a few houses. Today, it's near 6,500 residents....with a number of hotels and lodges. Yeah, a lot of tourists come through and stay for a couple of days because of the scenic lakefront and glaciers off in the distance.
What was Lauer's intention here? Unknown. Maybe he was going to retire there. Maybe he would have opened up a lodge of his own.
The problem now? Well....to get residency and thus full ownership....you need to pass a character-test. Yeah, those sneaky New Zealand folks decided that with the foreigners coming in....someone needs to check people out. Well....Lauer was fired for sexual harassment. Apparently, the audit crew in New Zealand thinks this needs to be reviewed. The odds of a purchase being halted? At this point, it's an unknown. The fear factor here is that Lauer might end up losing his the purchase deal and be refused residency.
An odd problem? Well, one might get the idea that he had some retirement plan in his mind for three or four years in the future, and the sheep ranch thing with almost no civilization around? Well...yeah, it's just an odd idea.

By George Basharis, J.D.
Appeal of ITC ruling of patent infringement was partially dismissed as moot because patent expired before appellate review.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has dismissed as moot an appeal of an International Trade Commission (ITC) ruling that imported automated teller machines (ATMs) infringed on a domestic patent because the patent expired before the ruling could be reviewed on appeal. However, the court upheld a separate finding by the ITC that the imported ATMs infringed on a patented method for reading magnetic ink character recognition data on checks (Hyosung TNS Inc. v. ITC, June 17, 2019, Dyk, T.).
The ITC ruled that ATMs imported by Hyosung TNS Inc., Nautilus Hyosung America Inc., and HS Global, Inc., (collectively "Hyosung") infringed on U.S. Patent Nos. 6,082,616 ('616 patent) and 7,832,631 ('631 patent) that are owned by competing ATM manufacturer Diebold Nixdorf, Inc. and Diebold Self-Service Systems (collectively "Diebold"). The ITC also ruled that importation of the Hyosung ATMs satisfied the "domestic industry" requirement of 19 U.S.C. § 1337, which makes the importation of infringing goods unlawful.
The '616 patent relates to a rollout tray that allows for the servicing of internal ATM components. Diebold filed a complaint against Hyosung claiming that the "service opening" of Hyosung ATMs, through which the imported machines are serviced, infringed on Diebold's '616 patent. Diebold's '631 patent relates to a method for reading magnetic ink character recognition data on checks, "regardless of a facing position of the check." In other words, a check could be read in any "up, down, forward, and backward position" even if the check is inserted upside-down.
'616 patent. After the ITC ruling, Hyosung redesigned the service openings of its ATMs, and a review by U.S. Customs found that the redesigned ATMs did not infringe on Diebold's '616 patent. The ruling allowed Hyosung to resume the importation of the redesigned ATMs. Hyosung then appealed the ITC ruling. However, the appeal was moot because the '616 patent had already expired, and it did not appear that Hyosung violated the ITC exclusion order by importing infringing ATMs prior to the ruling by U.S. Customs. The court of appeals rejected Diebold's argument that a ruling on the ITC decision would have collateral consequences on its pending district court infringement action against Hyosung because ITC determinations of patent infringement and validity do not have issue or claim preclusive effect even if affirmed on appeal, according to the court.
'631 patent. Hyosung argued that the '631 patent was obvious and invalid because a person of skill in the art would have been motivated by a combination of two prior art references regarding magnetic ink character recognition to invent a reader that could read a check that was inserted upside down. However, the court rejected the argument because one of the inventions relied upon by Hyosung expressly provided that "all checks may be recognized ... unless the user inserts the checks upside down." The claim term "facing position" in the '631 patent meant any position, including upside down. The claim therefore was not obvious by prior art.
The ITC determined that the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement under Section 1337 was satisfied by Diebold's multi-million dollar investment in research and development from 2005 to 2010 to develop the magnetic reader asserted in the '631 patent. Hyosung objected based on the passage of time between the development of the reader and Diebold's complaint with the ITC. However, the court of appeals refused to adopt Hyosung's bright-line rule to reject investment expenditures made five or more years before a complaint is filed. The ITC's findings were based on ample evidence of substantial investment relating to the '631 patent.
This case is No. 2017-2563.
Attorneys: Gregory G. Garre (Latham & Watkins LLP) for Hyosung TNS Inc., Nautilus Hyosung America, Inc. and HS Global, Inc. Sidney A. Rosenzweig for the ITC. Patrick Flinn (Alston & Bird LLP) for Diebold Nixdorf, Inc. and Diebold Self Service Systems.

Welcome to Bites, an Independent resource for dining out locally.
In the coming pages, you'll find an alphabetized rundown of more than 140 Pikes Peak area eateries. Any restaurant that we reviewed in 2009, and is still open, has been included and marked with a review date. Also, any restaurant voted to the top of a 2009 Best Of category is in here.
In addition to these two collections, we've incorporated a third: the restaurants we consider must-know spots. These are the places to which you'd take out-of-town guests, or that you'd count on yourself for a perfect brunch or date night.
We readily acknowledge that this does not make for a complete compilation. While we have the appetite, we unfortunately have neither the manpower nor the space to feature every taqueria, tapas bar and Thai joint in the city.
And we expect some of you will have much to say about what we've missed. With that in mind, please take note of p. 25, which includes guidelines for submitting your own reviews on our Web site. You can also sound off by writing to email@example.com.
A couple notes: Pricing is indicated with a dollar-sign system. Places with one dollar sign generally sell entrées in the $5 to $10 range; two signs, in the $10 to $20 range; and three signs, $20 and up. Also, in the back of the guide, you'll find indices (organized by cuisine and part of town) for easy navigation.
So dig in. And happy dining to you and yours.Click here for the complete Bites 2010 Table of Contents

The Cayman Islands government is now paying between $2.5 million to $3.5 million each month to fund retired seamen, servicemen and uninsured Caymanians' healthcare costs.
Premier Alden McLaughlin revealed the amounts Wednesday during statements to the Legislative Assembly that detailed the additional cash his Ministry of Health had to pay in each of the last three budget years, including a $3.9 million payment made in November.
Mr. McLaughlin said government was spending about $1 million to $2 million per month for health services provided to those groups at the Health Services Authority and an additional $1.5 million per month for "tertiary" [specialist or prolonged healthcare] services at overseas or local hospitals.
"[The November payment of $3.9 million] was … necessary to preserve the relationship and reputation of the Cayman Islands government among the network of local and overseas healthcare providers whilst ensuring that the group of persons served … have access to the appropriate medical institutions and services," Mr. McLaughlin said.
There are an estimated 1,075 seamen and veterans receiving healthcare coverage in Cayman now and government estimates between 1,300-1,400 "indigents" – Caymanians who have no healthcare coverage. The seamen and veterans are covered under a health plan, but any specialist overseas care they receive is paid directly from government coffers.
The healthcare payments present a significant liability for the government in two ways, according to the premier.
First, if a patient's referral to an overseas hospital is not acted upon simply for financial reasons, Mr. McLaughlin said there is a "high probability" the patient of their family could sue government. Second, if overseas healthcare costs rise higher than expected, those medical institutions expect to receive payment for services. If they are not paid, legal action can be taken against the Cayman government.
The Cayman Islands National Insurance Company, which serves as the funding mechanism used to cover overseas medical costs for uninsured Caymanians, was sued multiple times in late 2014 and early 2015 by various Florida hospitals over outstanding bills. The total amount owed in those cases was in the millions, according to court records.
On Wednesday, Premier McLaughlin revealed the scale of the costs faced by CINICO and the government in trying to pay off tertiary healthcare bills for indigents, seamen and veterans.
For the 2014/15 government budget year, tertiary healthcare costs were initially set at $11.4 million. An additional $5.4 million was provided in supplementary expenditure, the premier said.
During the 2015/16 year, government's additional payments exceeded its original budget for tertiary care by nearly $3.7 million.
In the current 2016/17 budget year, the additional $3.9 million was spent in November – mainly to cover additional costs from the previous year, the premier said.
The government increased charges assessed to private sector healthcare consumers during 2013 that are paid into the segregated insurance fund. Those charges, ranging between $10 and $20, depending on the private sector coverage the customer maintains, are used to pay for indigent healthcare.
Mr. McLaughlin said the segregated fund raises about $5 million per year with the increased fees in place.
"This is still significantly below the government's costs of providing healthcare for the indigent, seamen and veterans," he said.
"An inability to meet financial obligations to the overseas healthcare providers in a timely manner could affect the relationship with these providers, whereby patients referred [by government] could be denied access to critical care," the premier continued. "This has the potential to affect not just the indigents, seafarers and veterans, but the entire civil service."

The Beginning
85 Agnes St, Auchenflower
Solaire's story began at 85 Agnes St, Auchenflower with the challenge of turning a 1920's workers cottage into a beautiful, resilient and high-performance home of the future. Of course, the key factors for this build were luxury, sustainability and technology – and bringing them together seamlessly.
Located on a sloping site facing perfectly north, the design was adapted to follow the contours of the block; now, the home would capture the breezes flowing up this Auchenflower valley for maximised natural crossventilation. Meanwhile, the roof design was altered to create elevations that ensured maximum sun exposure for the home's solar panels.
Inside, the dual level layout formed a blank canvas to create multiple living areas that flowed through and connected the home. This was future-proofing at its finest, allowing for multigenerational living or future adaptations to the build, based on the family's needs.
With a focus on building an incredibly innovative home with environmentally-conscious design principles, state-of-the-art technology was implemented, including an Intelligent Home Access Control system which can be accessed through a smart phone or watch, and an advanced monitored security system with CCTV.
What began as Solaire's first project in creating these homes for the future, ended with 85 Agnes St becoming the crown jewel in the Solaire brand, and an amazing example for how luxury, sustainability and technology can live together under one roof.
