2005 BMW M3 - Fast, reliable, and fun.
The BMW M3 is a great car. It is very fast and reliable. I have driven 60,000 miles in it and it still is incredibly smooth. Did I mention it is FAST. I have a convertible and if you have the top up you can use the room where the top is stored when it is down as trunk space.
Any time driving around my neighborhood is really fun.
First of all, it is a very fast car. It is fun to drive. I like how wide the wheels come out, and how low to the ground it is. It really looks like a high performance vehicle and it is. When I first got it I noticed how bright the headlights were and how they seem to move on the road as I turn. Very helpful when driving around in areas without streetlights.
Not much. The radio messes up sometimes and the rear view mirror kind of broke. I think that both of the issues are due to the fact that I live in a very warm area.
I've always dreamed of owning a BMW. After owning my own business for a while I finally made that dream a reality. For a while it was a dream! A gas guzzler for sure but I had the status I thought I wanted. However this car requires so much maintenance, very expensive maintenance that it just hasn't been worth it.
Driving down Mill Avenue in Tempe. All these hot college coeds checking out the car and realizing that I'm 10 years too old for them. If only I had gotten my act together sooner.
The cars styling impressive, its a sedan with fine lines and amazing handling and power. I like the look of it, I bought it in a gun metal grey with beige leather interior. The interior is really comfortable and sleek, its definitely worth the money just for that. It fits me, my wife, son very well and we can comfortably fit 2 more in the backseat no problem. The trunk is a little on the smaller side but I knew that going into the purchase. When you accelerate it is incredibly quick, the engine noise is absolutely stunning, its a absolute pleasure to drive it handles like a dream and stops smooth. If I remember right they told me the gas mileage was around 30 mpg hwy and around 26 city, I have to fill up the tank about once every week or so but no complaints on that.
I just recently bought it but the one that stands out is when I drove in it with my son and his friend to get them a new puppy.
The car is incredibly quick accelerating and braking. The handling is amazing especially taking corners, the car hugs them and doesn't let go. I was impressed with the safety features and the crash test rating it got. The gauges are beautiful and the dash and trim compliments the seats. It came with a great surround sound system from Harman Kardon with a beautiful user interface, its very technologically advanced with a Heads Up Display system that I'm getting used too.
The only negative thing I can really say about the car is it came with this auto-start/stop function which basically shuts the car off when you stop at a red light and starts it back up when you accelerate. Whenever it does that it seems to run a little off for a minute like its a little sluggish, when I take it in for its next service I'm going to ask about it and see why it does that.
This high-performance trend-setter was developed by BMW M GmbH, BMW's in-house motorsports division. After 2015, BMW discontinued the coupe and convertible, and the M3 was only available as a sedan; the coupe and convertible were rebranded as part of the M4 line.
The M3 represents a comprehensively upgraded version of the BMW 3 Series, and it bases its improvements on those inspired by racing. The M3 engines are usually unique from those in the 3 Series and the handling, suspension, braking and body have been enhanced for superior aerodynamics, lighter weight and superior performance.
For the first time, BMW reduced the M3's weight by several hundred pounds, aided by the use of aluminum for various body panels and carbon fiber for the roof and the driveshaft.
The F80 generation was only offered as a sedan (coupe and convertible models were rebranded as the M4). The brakes were improved by replacing the side calipers with double-pistons with an optional 4-piston ceramic setup available.
This new generation was notable for its switch back to a six-cylinder engine -- as most of the earlier M3 models had used -- but a departure from the previous generation, which used a V8. The newest engine was a 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter twin turbo inline six-cylinder, and when equipped with a 7-speed M-DCT (dual-clutch) transmission, this car could do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. With the 6-speed manual, 0-60 happened in 4.1 seconds. Top speed remained 155 miles per hour.
For the 2016 model year, BMW gave the M3 a subtle update, updating the taillights to full LEDs and adding new exterior colors.
A second update occurred for the 2018 model year; BMW tweaked the design of the lower front bumper on the car.
An optional Competition Package was introduced in 2016; it raised the M3's power to 444 horsepower, retunes the suspension, adds unique 20-inch alloy wheels, an M exhaust system and lighter front seats.
Launched in 2008, the E90 was the heaviest of the M3 line thus far, as well as the most luxurious.
This generation came in sedan, coupe or convertible with a power retractable hard-top. The added weight of the convertible's roof mechanism adversely affected this model's performance. The convertible's leather seats had a special surface which prevented seats from getting hot when the top was down. It was the only mass-market M3 to use a V8 engine, a new 414-horsepower 4.0-liter unit that was paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Shortly after its launch, BMW offered a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters as an option. Because the paddle shifters reduced shifting pauses, the car's forward acceleration time was improved by two-tenths of a second over one with a manual transmission. Able to hit 60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds, this car's top speed was 155 miles per hour.
In 2011, BMW updated the car. Changes included LED taillights and minor updates to the interior.
Globally, BMW launched several unique, low-volume special-edition models of this generation M3. These included the more powerful M3 GTS, the Lime Rock Park edition (U.S.-only and limited to 200 units), the M3 CRT, the M3 Frozen Edition (unrelated to the animated film) and the UK-only M3 Limited Edition 500.
The E46 was offered only as a convertible or coupe, with expanded wheel arches and a hood bulge as well as a more upscale interior. A new 333-horsepower 3.2-liter M-tuned inline-six cylinder engine was introduced, which could do 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, with a top speed of 155 miles per hour.
The standard transmission was a 6-speed manual, but an SMG drivelogic transmission was available as an option. The drivelogic, aka SMG II, was a standard 6-speed automatic, but with a Formula-One-style electrohydraulically actuated clutch pedal. This configuration allowed a shifting speed of 0.08 seconds.
This was the first M3 model to use a six-cylinder engine. The models that came to the U.S. market initially had a 240-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline straight-six with a five-speed manual or automatic transmission (Euro-spec cars had considerably more horsepower).
The first E36 was imported to the United States in 1995. The rest of the generation (1996-1999) had a larger, 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine with the same 240-horsepower output.
This model had the same rear axle and clutch as the European model, but a different suspension. Despite gaining weight versus the earlier generation, the M3 could go from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, with a top speed of 155 miles per hour.
An M3 sedan was available in the U.S. starting in 1997 and a convertible joined the ranks in 1998.
The first M3 was originally only offered as a coupe or convertible. Both featured BMW's S14 2.3-liter inline 4-cylinder engine which initially delivered 192 horses with a catalytic converter and 197 without one.
In 1989, without a catalytic converter, power was improved to 212 horsepower. This car could go from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, with a top speed of 146 miles per hour.
While the M3 shared the same basic shell as the 3 Series, it had a dozen unique and different aerodynamic body panels the other model lacked. It also had flared wheel arches to make room for racing tires. The suspension and brakes also differed, and so did the drivetrain. The M3 E30 had a 5-speed clutch-type manual overdrive transmission.

The immense support during this nightmare is one of the many blessings. I am loved, and there truly is no greater gift, and no greater motivator to get me to do this.
It's often hard for me to believe that I can do this, but with the multitude of encouragement, support and love, I will.

The 35th Anniversary of the Repose of Archbishop Andrei (Rymarenko) of Rockland was prayerfully commemorated in Novo-Diveevo
admin | 16 July 2013
Virtual Tour of the Diveyevo Monastery Is Available Online
Friday, July 12, on the feast of the Holy Leaders of the Apostles Sts. Peter & Paul, marked the 35th anniversary of the repose of the ever-memorable Archbishop Andrei (Rymarenko) of Rockland, vicar of the Eastern American Diocese. As an archpriest, Fr. Adrian (in monasticism Andrew) founded Holy Dormition Convent "Novo-Diveevo" in Nanuet, NY. Archbishop Nikon (Rklitsky +1976 г.) recorded this history in his compilation, "My Work in the Vineyard of Christ:"
The idea to found of a Holy Dormition Convent – a "New Diveevo" ‒ in the United States was first conceived in 1946, with the arrival in America of new Russian émigrés after the Second World War, by Bishops Seraphim (Ivanov) and Nikon (Rklitsky). Certain preparatory measures were taken by the Diocesan Administration of the North American & Canadian Diocese, but the founding of the convent itself was realized in the summer of 1949, with the arrival from Europe of Archpriest Adrian Rymarenko, now Archbishop of Rockland, with a group of loyal collaborators. It was namely Archpriest Rymarenko who was tasked by Archbishop Vitaly (Maximenko) with founding this convent under the supervision of his vicar, Bishop Nikon of Florida.
Fr. Adrian accomplished this undertaking with great success, approaching his task with zeal and an experience and talent that came naturally to him. He himself came from a lay background; his father was an industrialist in Russia. Fr. Adrian received his education in a Realschule (an advanced secondary school – ed.), as well as at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute. He was received into the priesthood in accordance with his own spiritual wishes, and during the first years of the Bolshevik Revolution, at a time of brutal repression of the Church by the Bolsheviks. While still a student in St. Petersburg, Fr. Adrian occupied himself with religious issues and was a student of the renowned theologian Fr. Ioann Yegorov; his spiritual formation was further influenced by the Optina Elders, with whom he corresponded. He had a close relationship with Elder Anatoly, a disciple of Elder Ambrose, with Elder Nektary and with the last Optina Elder – Monk Vikenty, who, after the destruction of the Optina Hermitage by the Bolsheviks, lived with Fr. Adrian for some time. It was these gracious acquaintances, as well as Fr. Adrian's natural gifts, that gave him an opportunity to be an experienced spiritual leader and outstanding administrator and organizer. After the repose of Fr. Adrian's matushka, also a remarkable Russian woman, Eugenia Grigorievna, on October 1/14, 1963, Fr. Adrian accepted monastic tonsure with the name Andrew, and in 1968 was consecrated Bishop of Rockland, vicar of the Diocese of Eastern American & New York. On Bishop Andrei's 80th birthday, March 15/28, 1973, for his outstanding accomplishments, he was elevated to the rank of Archbishop of Rockland.
Under Fr. Adrian's direction, the "Novo-Diveevo" convent underwent many stages of growth and development… Among Fr. Adrian's most active assistants were his matushka, Eugenia Grigorievna, and his longtime and loyal collaborators, who left Russia with him: Prince D.V. Mishetsky, Dr. A.P. Timofievich, and choir conductor P.P. Didenko. Later, here in America, Fr. Adrian would attract another young man, who is now an Archpriest at the convent and his irreplaceable assistant – Fr. Alexander Fedorowski…
The "Novo-Diveevo" Convent is located approximately 25 miles from New York, in the Spring Valley region, and is a large Russian spiritual center. It comprises close to 40 nuns and novices, and 40 residents in a home for the elderly. The convent has two wonderful churches – a small one in the house first acquired by the convent, and another of medium size, built by the monastics. Among the multitude of holy items kept in its churches, the most remarkable are: an icon of the Vladimir Mother of God, smuggled out of Optina Hermitage, and a portrait of Venerable Seraphim of Sarov in the smaller church, which was painted during the saint's lifetime. The full cycle of divine services is served daily at the convent, while on Sundays and feast days many of the faithful gather there. The convent is also home to a quickly growing Russian cemetery, now numbering over 2,000 graves. The real estate acquired by the convent over the years is now valued at several hundred thousand dollars.
One – no less remarkable – feat of Archbishop Andrei's was the construction at the convent in 1972 of a large building to handle the needs of the convent and serve as a home for elderly women… Now half of this spacious building accommodates the nuns, while in the other reside these elderly women, who are grateful to God and Archbishop Andrei for taking care of them in their old age, and all financial obligations are cared for.
It bears noting that, for all of his great accomplishments, Archbishop Andrei was not a well man – in recent years, he cannot even perform the divine services.
So it was that the evaluation given of Archbishop Andrei, then Archpriest Rymarenko, upon his arrival in America in 1949, that "his health is poor, and he is in no condition to undertake active work," was brilliantly disproved, while the words of God were confirmed: "for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (II Corinthians 12:9).
On the very day of the 35th anniversary of Archbishop Andrei's blessed repose, the First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad, His Eminence Hilarion, Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York, came to Novo-Diveevo. The First Hierarch celebrated the Divine Liturgy, followed by a panihida at the grave of Archbishop Andrei. His Eminence was co-served by convent cleric Archpriest Alexander Fedorowski, diocesan secretary Archpriest Serge Lukianov, convent Protodeacon Sergei Arlievsky, and Hierodeacon Tikhon (Gayfudinov; accompanying His Eminence). Also serving at the panihida was the dean of New England, Archpriest George Larin. The convent sisterhood, led by Abbess Irene, prayed at the divine services.
In his sermon after the Liturgy, Metropolitan Hilarion recalled the spiritual labors of Archbishop Andrei:
"Today we honor the memory of the ever-memorable Archbishop Andrei. It has already been 35 years since his blessed repose. He was the founder of this holy convent, and did much in his life for the salvation of others: gathering them together, nourishing them, preserving them from every adversity. Here he established a life in the Church, and was a spiritual father to many, having a connection with such spiritual luminaries as once existed in Russia – namely the Optina Elders."
Upon completion of the panihida, a festal luncheon was held in the parish hall. Memory Eternal to Archbishop Andrei!

Brentford community stadium in prospect
You are here: Home / Latest news / Brentford community stadium in prospect
Plans to bring forward a new home for Brentford Football Club have been on show to the public in a further step towards the submission of a planning to Hounslow Council.
Brentford Football Club is planning to move from its existing stadium at Griffin Park to a new purpose-built community stadium at Lionel Road South. The plans being developed will provide a modern, good quality 20,000 capacity stadium. Before a planning application is submitted, Brentford Football Club want to hear the views of the local community about their proposals.
At a day long meeting of the directors involved in the project back in November, it was recognized there was a great deal of work to undertake before a planning application could be submitted but the directors set the target of opening the stadium at the beginning of the 2016 season.
Greg Dyke, the Club Chairman, said:
We are inspired by the experience of Brighton and Hove Albion, who achieved promotion and a new stadium at the same time. It's our ambition to achieve both by 2016.
London Welsh rugby club is reported to be interested in a ground share.

Q: How lazy evaluation forced Haskell to be pure I remember seeing a presentation in which SPJ said that lazy evaluation forced them to keep Haskell pure (or something along that line). I often see many Haskellers saying the same.
So, I would like to understand how lazy evaluation strategy forced them to keep Haskell pure as opposed to a strict evaluation stragegy ?

A: I think the answer by Jubobs already sums it up nicely (with good references). But, in my own words, what I think SPJ and friends are referring to is this:
Having to go through this "monad" business can be really inconvenient at times. The sheer volume of questions on Stack Overflow asking "how do I just remove this IO thing?" is testament to the fact that sometimes, you really really want to just print out this one value right here — usually for the purposes of figuring out what the actual **** is going on!
In an eager language, it would be sorely tempting to just start adding magic impure functions that let you do impure stuff directly, like in other languages. No doubt you'd start with small things at first, but slowly you slide down this slippery slope, and before you know it, effects are all over the place.
In a lazy language like Haskell, this temptation still exists. There are many times when it would be really helpful to be able to just quickly sneak this one little effect in here or there. Except that because of laziness, adding effects turns out to be almost utterly useless. You can't control when anything happens. Even just Debug.trace tends to produce utterly incomprehensible results.
In short, if you're designing a lazy language, you really are forced to come up with a coherent story for how you're handling effects. You can't just go "meh, we'll pretend this function is just magic"; without the ability to control effects more precisely, you'll instantly end up in a horrible mess!
TL;DR In an eager language, you can get away with cheating. In a lazy language, you really have to do things properly, or it just plain doesn't work.
And that is why we hired Alex — wait, wrong window...

A: It depends by what you mean for "pure" in this context.

*

*If for pure you mean as in purely functional, then what @MathematicalOrchid is true: with lazy evaluation you wouldn't know in which sequence impure actions are executed and hence you wouldn't be able to write meaningful programs at all and you are forced to be more pure (using the IO monad).
However I find this not really satisfying in this case. A true functional language already separates pure and impure code, so even a strict one should have some kind of IO.

*However it's possible that the statement is more broad and refers to pure in the fact that you are able to express more easily, in a more declarative, compositional and yet efficient way the code.
Looking at this answer which makes exactly the statement you are citing it links to the article Why Functional Programming Matters by Hughes which is probably the one you are talking about.
The paper shows how higher order functions and lazy evaluation allow to write more modular code. Note that it does not say anything about purely functional etc. The point it is making is about being more modular and more declarative without losing in efficiency.
The article provides some examples. For example the Newton-Raphson algorithm: in a strict language you have to combine together the code that computes the next approximation and the one that checks if you obtained a good enough solution.
With lazy evaluation you can generate the infinite list of approximations in a function and call this from an other function that returns the first good enough approximation.

In Thinking Functionally with Haskell Richard Bird makes precisely this point. If we look at Chapter 2, exercise D:

Beaver is an eager evaluator, while Susan is a lazy one.
[...]
What alternative might Beaver prefer to head . filter p . map f?

And the answer says:

[...] Instead of defining first p f = head . filter p . map f,
  Beaver might define
first :: (b -> Bool) -> (a -> b) -> [a] -> b
first p xs | null xs = error "Empty list"
           | p x = x
           | otherwise = first p f (tail xs)
           where x = f (head xs)

The point is that with eager evaluation most functions have to be defined using explicit recursion, not in terms of useful component
  functions like map and filter.

So pure here means that allows declarative, compositional and yet efficient definitions while with eager evaluation using declarative and compositional definitions can lead to unnecessarily inefficient code.

A: It's not so much that lazy evaluation led to purity; Haskell was pure to begin with. Rather, lazy evaluation forced the designers of the language to keep the language pure.
Here is a relevant passage from the article A History of Haskell: Being Lazy with Class:

Once we were committed to a lazy language, a pure one was inescapable. The converse is not true, but it is notable that in practice most pure programming languages are also lazy. Why? Because in a call-by-value language, whether functional or not, the temptation to allow unrestricted side effects inside a "function" is almost irresistible.
Purity is a big bet, with pervasive consequences. Unrestricted side effects are undoubtedly very convenient. Lacking side effects, Haskell's input/output was initially painfully clumsy, which was a source of considerable embarrassment. Necessity being the mother of invention, this embarrassment ultimately led to the invention of monadic I/O, which we now regard as one of Haskell's main con- tributions to the world, as we discuss in more detail in Section 7.
Whether a pure language (with monadic effects) is ultimately the best way to write programs is still an open question, but it certainly is a radical and elegant attack on the challenge of programming, and it was that combination of power and beauty that motivated the designers. In retrospect, therefore, perhaps the biggest single benefit of laziness is not laziness per se, but rather that laziness kept us pure, and thereby motivated a great deal of productive work on monads and encapsulated state.

(my emphasis)
I also invite you to listen to 18'30'' of Software Engineering Radio podcast #108 for an explanation by the man himself. And here is a longer but relevant passage from SPJ's interview in Peter Seibel's Coders at Work:

I now think the important thing about laziness is that it kept us pure. [...]
[...] if you have a lazy evaluator, it's harder to predict exactly when an expression is going to be evaluated. So that means if you want to print something on the screen, every call-by-value language, where the order of evaluation is completely explicit, does that by having an impure "function"—I'm putting quotes around it because it now isn't a function at all—with type something like string to unit. You call this function and as a side effect it puts something on the screen. That's what happens in Lisp; it also happens in ML. It happens in essentially every call-by-value language.
Now in a pure language, if you have a function from string to unit you would never need to call it because you know that it just gives the answer unit. That's all a function can do, is give you the answer. And you know what the answer is. But of course if it has side effects, it's very important that you do call it. In a lazy language the trouble is if you say, "f applied to print "hello"," then whether f evaluates its first argument is not apparent to the caller of the function. It's something to do with the innards of the function. And if you pass it two arguments, f of print "hello" and print "goodbye", then you might print either or both in either order or neither. So somehow, with lazy evaluation, doing input/output by side effect just isn't feasible. You can't write sensible, reliable, predictable programs that way. So, we had to put up with that. It was a bit embarrassing really because you couldn't really do any input/output to speak of. So for a long time we essentially had programs which could just take a string to a string. That was what the whole program did. The input string was the input and result string was the output and that's all the program could really ever do.
You could get a bit clever by making the output string encode some output commands that were interpreted by some outer interpreter. So the output string might say, "Print this on the screen; put that on the disk." An interpreter could actually do that. So you imagine the functional program is all nice and pure and there's sort of this evil interpreter that interprets a string of commands. But then, of course, if you read a file, how do you get the input back into the program? Well, that's not a problem, because you can output a string of commands that are interpreted by the evil interpreter and using lazy evaluation, it can dump the results back into the input of the program. So the program now takes a stream of responses to a stream of requests. The stream of requests go to the evil interpreter that does the things to the world. Each request generates a response that's then fed back to the input. And because evaluation is lazy, the program has emitted a response just in time for it to come round the loop and be consumed as an input. But it was a bit fragile because if you consumed your response a bit too eagerly, then you get some kind of deadlock. Because you'd be asking for the answer to a question you hadn't yet spat out of your back end yet.
The point of this is laziness drove us into a corner in which we had to think of ways around this I/O problem. I think that that was extremely important. The single most important thing about laziness was it drove us there.

(my emphasis)

A: Strictly speaking, this claim isn't true, because Haskell has unsafePerformIO, which is a big hole in the language's functional purity.  (It exploits a hole in GHC Haskell's functional purity which ultimately goes back to the decision to implement unboxed arithmetic by adding a strict fragment to the language).  unsafePerformIO exists because the temptation to say "well, I'll implement just this one function using side-effects internally" is irresistible to most programmers.  But if you look at the drawbacks of unsafePerformIO[1], you see exactly what people are saying:

*

*unsafePerformIO a is not guaranteed to ever execute a.

*Nor is it guaranteed to execute a only once, if it does execute.

*Nor is there any guarantee about the relative ordering of the I/O performed by a with other parts of the program.

Those drawbacks keep unsafePerformIO mostly limited to the safest and most careful uses, and are why people do use IO directly until it becomes too inconvenient.
[1] Besides the type-unsafety; let r :: IORef a; r = unsafePerformIO $ newIORef undefined gives you a polymorphic r :: IORef a, which can be used to implement unsafeCast :: a -> b.  ML has a solution for reference allocation that avoids that, and Haskell could have solved it in a similar way if purity wasn't considered desirable anyway (the monomorphism restriction is nearly a solution anyway, you just have to ban people from working around it by using a type signature, like I did above).

Christina Plaka (* 13. April 1983 in Offenbach am Main) ist eine deutsche Comiczeichnerin.

Werdegang
Christina Plaka zeichnete bereits während ihrer Schulzeit Helden der Marvel-Comics, mit elf Jahren fand sie zum Manga-Stil. Der ausschlaggebende Anstoß dafür war nach ihrer Aussage der Manga Dragon Ball. Während ihrer Schulzeit bewarb sie sich 2000 beim Carlsen Verlag mit der Geschichte Hiro No Destiny, jedoch ohne Erfolg. 2002 nahm sie mit Vampire 1776 am Zeichenwettbewerb "Manga-Talente" auf der Leipziger Buchmesse teil und erreichte den zweiten Platz. Zur gleichen Zeit bewarb sie sich bei Carlsen und veröffentlichte im Manga-Magazin Daisuki ab 2003 ihre Geschichte Prussian Blue, die später in einem Sammelband erschien. Sie bestand in diesem Jahr ihr Abitur, danach begann sie das Studium der Japanologie und Romanistik.

Von 2005 bis 2012 erschien beim Tokyopop-Verlag ihr Nachfolge-Projekt Yonen Buzz, die Fortsetzung von Prussian Blue, das fünf Bände erreichte. Sie folgte Joachim Kaps und anderen Mitarbeitern des Carlsen Verlags zur neu gegründeten deutschen Niederlassung von Tokyopop. Dabei veränderte sie auch ihren Stil, der sich dann weniger am Shōjo-Manga orientierte.

Arbeitsweise und Stil
Inspirationen bekommt Christina Plaka aus dem Alltag, Fernsehen und Musik, häufig spontan. Die Ideen werden zunächst in Skizzen gefasst, in denen auch das Seitenlayout festgelegt wird. Stimmt der Redakteur dem Entwurf zu, folgt das Tuschen und Einkleben der Rasterfolien. Dabei fertigt sie alle Bilder ohne Computer an.

Als Vorbilder nennt sie Minekura Kazuya und Osamu Tezuka, dessen Arbeitsweise und Geschichtenentwicklung sie fasziniert. Plakas zweites Interesse gilt abendfüllenden Zeichentrickfilmen.

I'm off to a wedding this weekend so in preparation I booked in for a visit to get my hair cut. I know some of my mates just rock up to any barber when that time comes but throughout my life I have had 4 main barber and during those periods when I haven't had a barber and have to use a new place I have had a very mixed bag of results.
My current barber is awesome, so I'm very confident when I sit down and say "just the usual tidy up" that he is going to tame the chlorine and weather damaged mess on my head.
I've never been to see him after the office and before after work beers, so it was a bit of a different vibe when I walked in last night. They took my jacket and I sat down to wait as I couldn't see my guy in his usual area, but I didn't worry as a few Whatsapp messages came through so grabbed my phone and started to reply to the guys I was meeting for a beer around the corner.
My guy appeared after a couple of minutes and we shook hands and headed over to his station.
The barbers shop is pretty much a rectangle with full length windows down one long and one short side of the room. My barber's usual station is on the long wall basically in the middle of the room but now I was sitting in a chair in the middle station of three which sit on the short wall at the far end of the room.
As I sit there and look in the mirror in front of me I am basically looking down the length of the room and had the best sit in the house to watch everything going on in the room.
The haircut was pretty no eventful and as my barber grabbed the mirror to show me the back my attention was instantly drawn to the reflection of a Lycra clad cyclist coming through the shop door.
This cyclists was fully kitted out in a dark green Rapha Cycling Jacket and black Asos bib shorts and was either running late or his barber didn't have a previous appointment as with in a few steps in the door he was greeted and being lead over one of the barber chairs along the long main wall of the shop.
I had a hard time trying to focus on continuing to chat to my barber and luckily for me I had mentioned that I was going out for beers with the boys after so my barber had put the mirror away and proceeded to put some product and style my hair so it was pub ready.
My attention didn't really come off this Lycra clad commuter that had stopped in for a quick short back and sides but as I watched him walk across the shop to the barbers chair I couldn't believe my eyes when he stopped, turned to head back over to the jacket rack.
Don't get me wrong I was very happy to be seeing what was in the mirror but I thought it was a bit of a strange thing to wear to the barbers and I personally would feel very self conscious turning up to have my hair cut in my full Lycra cycling kit.
As I watched him walk back to the jacket rack I watched as he started to unzip and start to take off his jacket and as I watched I was expecting to see a cycling jersey being revealed but as he peeled his jacket off I had to keep my composure as my guy was just finishing up.
As my guy walked over to grab a hot towel to finish tidying everything up I had an unobstructed view of this guy walking across the centre of the barber shop in his black Asos bib shorts and just a white Helly Hansen white base layer shirt underneath.
As he walked across to the barbers chair this guy exuded confidence and seemed totally comfortable with his body and his cycling Lycra fitted him like a second skin.
At this stage I was just so engrossed watching this unfold in front of my eyes and drank in every moment as once he sat in that chair this vision would be gone.
After he had sat in the barber chair I was able to bring my focus back into finishing up chatting to my guy and heading off to drink with the boys, but out of the corner of eye I could see this guy's barber unlock the base of the chair and turn it around and lay it back so he could wash this Lycra clad cyclists hair.
I wondered at this point was this guy an exhibitionist or had he thought wearing cycling kit to the barbers through as he was not shuffling his Lycra clad arse a little in the barbers chair as the back was laid down and he was reclining onto the neck rest on the sink getting ready to have his hair washed.
I was still facing the mirror and chatting to my barber but I knew that behind me in the middle of this room was this guy reclining back into a sink just in tight black Lycra bib shorts and in a very exposed position.
As I got up out of my chair and turned to the middle of room the view that greeted me did not disappoint.


It's the only way to decipher Louie Gohmert's insane story about Russians electing Harry Truman.
A brief diversion before it all really gets rolling in our politics Wednesday. Once, when I wrote a book, I took as one of its primary avatars one Ignatius Donnelly, the Prince of Cranks. Donnelly, whose escapades in politics, literature, and intergalactic crackpottery are unsurpassed in American political history, and also are far too extensive to detail here, once wrote down his essential philosophy of his place in the world.
"It's been going on for 70 years," he said. "It helped Truman get elected in '48. Eisenhower called the Russians on it in '56 and manipulation there." Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev bragged about throwing the election to President John F. Kennedy in 1960 and Russia helped Jimmy Carter's election in 1976, Gohmert said. "So, I am thrilled that we are going to get help across the aisle to get to the Russian input stopped," he said.
Now, I have had an unconquerable sweet-tooth for fringe American rightwing theorizing ever since my father had me read None Dare Call It Treason over one rainy weekend before my freshman year in high school. I have fashioned myself a lifetime pass down any number of rabbit holes. But I admit that Gohmert's assertions had me banjaxed. But, one thing I do know, is that rarely do American wingnuts make such assertions without some kind of misunderstood or misread documentary evidence behind them. So, I went spelunking through the Intertoobz to find out what, if anything, Gohmert was talking about.
Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas on Capitol Hill in 2017.
Henry A. Wallace in 1948.
In October of 1945, while he was still secretary of Commerce, Wallace secretly met in Washington, D.C. with Anatoly Gorsky, the station chief of the NKGB (forerunner of the KGB.) KGB files show that Wallace told Gorsky that he wanted to share the secrets of the a-bomb with the Soviets, complained that Truman was being influenced by an "anti-Soviet group" in government that wanted the Anglo-Saxon bloc to have dominance in the world, and that he hoped that the Soviet Union could help Wallace's "smaller group significantly." For a member of the President's Cabinet asking the Soviets to intervene to help his side win an internal battle within the administration was more than indiscreet. It was the action of a willing tool of Moscow. Eventually, Truman fired him in September 1946.
On May 1, 1960, a U-2 surveillance plane operated by the CIA was shot down by the Soviet air force while flying near the city of Yekaterinburg. The U.S. initially said the plane had been studying weather patterns for NASA and had simply strayed off course. Information recovered from the plane's wreckage quickly proved otherwise.
President Kennedy shaking hands with Nikita Khrushchev outside the U.S. embassy in Vienna in 1961.
But Jimmy Carter? I had absolutely no idea where Gohmert had got that idea. Did the Soviets really have a dog in the fight between accidental president Gerald Ford and a heretofore unknown governor from Georgia? A New York Times story from the fall of 1976 reported that the Soviets were flummoxed by the campaign between two relative unknowns on the world stage.
Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford debate in 1976.
However, deep in the January, 2017 assessment compiled by the intelligence community concerning Russian ratfcking in the previous November's election, I found this short passage.
In the 1970s, the KGB recruited a Democratic Party activist who reported information about then-presidential hopeful Jimmy Carter's campaign and foreign policy plans, according to a former KGB archivist.
No name. And all that was passed along was this person's assessment of what Carter might do overseas if he got elected, which apparently left the Soviets as baffled as they were before they contacted this person. Not the greatest thing to do by whoever this was, but certainly no possible indication that the Soviets had their thumb on the scale for that prophet guy. But, again, the story contains the words "Soviets," "contacted" and "Carter," and that's enough material to spin the tale.
So, this is what you have. Harry Truman's Secretary of Commerce gets so chummy with the Soviets that Truman fires him. Khrushchev trying to get into JFK's head about how the latter won with Khrushchev's help. And some guy in the Carter campaign who told some KGB clerk what Carter might do if Carter got elected president. Put that thin gruel in the roiling stewpot that is Louie Gohmert's brain, let it bubble in there awhile with whatever other ingredients Gohmert half-heard the last time he chatted with Alex Jones and, voila! Instant history, suitable for spouting and delivered in nice bite-sized chunks to an audience that, at this point, will believe anything. Watching the way that works is always fascinating.
Not true, but plausible, especially if you're a sucker.
Editor's Note: This post has been updated to reflect that Henry Wallace was Truman's Secretary of Commerce. He was Vice President under President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

FKA twigs directs video for Koreless 'White Picket Fence': Watch
"A modern day fable"
FKA twigs has directed a video for Koreless.
As part of a co-commission between Fact Magazine and Young (fka Young Turks), the singer-songwriter and producer — who curated a playlist for Sonos Radio earlier this year — has collaborated with Welsh DJ and producer Koreless to direct the visuals for his track 'White Picket Fence'.
The video, which is out now, features Koreless on an other-wordly fishing trip, accompanied by a young boy with cartoon eyes, and escorted by three dancers in a green Lamborghini.
Described as "a modern day fable" by Koreless, the producer said: "Some time ago twigs texted me an idea for a video. I'd not seen myself as someone who suited videos, but the longer we sat with it the more it felt right. I've long admired twigs' visual work for her own music, imo her ability to bring a song to life in this way is unparalleled."
Speaking with Fact, twigs, who produced the visuals alongside creative studio Object & Animal, said: "Lewis is not only a dear friend of mine but also one of my favourite collaborators. His sonic palette is equally as alien and otherworldly as it is grounded and in me it evokes feelings of being close to nature. For Lewis' video I wanted to create this in a visual. The mystery intertwined with a feeling of familiarity.
"The 'White Picket Fence' visual is a modern day reenactment of a fable that doesn't exist. Each character represents a sound in the music and the audience is a voyeur as the music is personified into a mystical happening."

CBSA > Weekly Policy Update: CBSA Hosts Ecosystem Briefing and Roundtable Discussion with Belgian Ambassador Jean-Arthur Régibeau
Weekly Policy Update: CBSA Hosts Ecosystem Briefing and Roundtable Discussion with Belgian Ambassador Jean-Arthur Régibeau
This week, CBSA was honored to host a dynamic briefing and roundtable discussion for Belgian Ambassador Jean-Arthur Régibeau. Our community appreciated the opportunity to share an overview of Colorado's life sciences ecosystem and learn more about Belgium's innovation on a global scale. The Ambassador was joined by trade representatives specializing in life sciences from Flanders Investment and Trade and Wallonia Invest & Export.
CBSA staff provided Ambassador Régibeau a briefing of our life sciences ecosystem which covered the Association's priority areas:
Education + Networking
Workforce Cultivation
A diverse cohort of CBSA members then had the opportunity to engage in a thoughtful and productive discussion with members from the Ambassador's delegation, which help set the foundation for mutual growth between both our flourishing life sciences ecosystems. A common theme throughout the briefing was a shared vision of discovering and developing healthcare solutions that enable patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives.
If your company is interested in learning more about potential trade or investment opportunities with Belgium, please contact CBSA Vice President, Michael Crews: mcrews@cobioscience.com
Background on Life Sciences in Belgium
Belgium's life sciences industry is based primarily in the Dutch-speaking Flanders region (Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent). The industry is comprised of start-ups to established local firms and multinationals: the entire value chain – from research and discovery to development and commercialization – is represented. This includes representation from the biotech, medtech, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare sectors.
Within the European Union, Belgium is a leader in the following categories:
#1 for clinical trial procedure speed
#1 for biotech market capitalization
#2 for clinical trial applications per capita
#2 for pharma and biotech patent applications per capita
$3 for number (bio)pharma researchers per capita
In recent years, many companies that started as university spin-offs grew rapidly have been acquired by leading multinational companies: Ablynx (Sanofi), TiGenix (Takeda), and Multiplicom (Agilent). Each of the region's five universities has strong and innovative life sciences departments, particularly the universities of Leuven (KU Leuven) and Ghent (UGent).
25,000+ graduates in health studies, ranging from medicine to medical diagnostics and pharmaceuticals. This represents around 2.2 graduates per 1,000 inhabitants, which is well ahead of the figures for nearby countries such as France (1.5), the Netherlands (1.0), and Germany (0.3).
1,000+ graduates in CAR-T-relevant disciplines such as biochemistry, biotech, bioengineering, cell & gene technology, and biomedical sciences.
1,500+ graduates in biological and related sciences.
Three of the region's four strategic research centers are focused on R&D and innovation efforts for life sciences:
VIB focuses on biotech in all its facets. Its team of scientists from numerous countries has been responsible for major scientific breakthroughs in cancer research, immunology, neuro- and microbiology, medical biotech, etc. In addition, VIB provides advanced life sciences training and coaching.
imec concentrates on nanotech and digital technology. It plays a crucial role in designing electronics for pharma and healthcare, for example, all while providing access to leading expertise in e-health and e-care innovations.
VITO dedicates its research to cleantech and sustainable development, including the field of sustainable health. The research center works, among other developments, on new applications, measurement methods and biomarkers for preventive healthcare and health management.

PostgreSQL is a popular SQL database solution that works great with Active Record and supports full-text search. However, full-text search in PostgreSQL uses fairly complex SQL queries. To make this task easy we can take advantage of Active Record's scopes using a gem called "pg_search".
PgSearch supports two different techniques for searching, multi-search and search scopes. While search scopes allow you to do more advanced searching against only one Active Record class: multi-search can mix together records of many different Active Record classes into one global search index for your entire application.
The first parameter is the scope name.
Earlier elements are weighted higher, so the title is the most important, followed by the article's body.
Before using multisearch, run the generator to create a migration for the multisearch result documents.

All registered participants to IAH 2018 are eligible to submit their manuscript(s) to relevant special issue(s).
The submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed handled by Guest Editor(s).
Then elected papers will be published in the special issue of journal(s) below.
For more information about the journals, please find given below the details.
Growing populations in the face of increasingly scarce supplies of surface water are forcing countries to rely more and more ongroundwaters for drinking water, food production, and industry. This is especially true for the countries of south-east Asia. Yet, for groundwater, serious shortages are already indicated in India, China and other countries, along with water quality problems associated with agrochemicals, mining, seawater intrusion, and the improper disposal of urban and industrial wastes. This Special Issue will provide forum for topics with special relevance to Asia concerned with problems of groundwater quality and quantity. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers across the spectrum from basic research to case studies highlighting problems of practical concern. To the extent possible, we are encouraging papers that describe novel approaches and technologies, and water quality concerns related, for example, to agriculture, waste disposal, large cities, oil and gas, mining, and more. Other areas of focus are concerned with the myriad of problems coming from global climate change, and emerging diseases and health.
Groundwater is a critical resource for human life as well as for the maintenance of ecosystems. Understanding contaminated groundwater with human health is an emerging area of interest and study. Groundwater contributes to the sustainability of ecosystems for harmonizing human beings with nature. On the other side, environmental changes more and more affect surface and ground water resources. This Special Issue will be published on Geosciences and provide topics with groundwater and human health, geohydrology in connection with water and life, geomicrobial characterization of subsurface environment, groundwater resources management, environmental drivers changing hydrologic system and consequences, groundwater quantity and quality issues related to environmental changes, groundwater-surface water interaction, biogeochemistry and ecohydraulics of the riparian and hyporheic zone, groundwater-dependent ecosystems and so on. Guest Editors are encouraging papers that contains novel approaches and technologies on the above topics.


The Vector Compact series of self-contained marine air conditioners offers 18,000 and 27,000 and 30,000 BTU/hr of reverse-cycle cooling and heating. All models offer direct expansion operation in a compact, low-profile unit, with seawater-cooled condenser and choice of control. They feature high-velocity blowers, which are insulated to prevent secondary condensation, and are fully rotatable for flexibility during installation.


It looks as though the Stranded Deep console release might not happen, at least not when it's supposed to. This is due to the sudden and surprise closure of Telltale Games. It might sound odd, but there's certainly a ripple effect with the closure of the group as they did handle publishing for some titles.
One of their published ports was set to be Stranded Deep for Xbox One and Playstation 4 consoles. The game was set to release on October 9, 2018 (Xbox One date) and now that might not happen. Apparently, the studio behind the game has no idea what's going on. As of September 25, 2018 they haven't been given any update on the situation surrounding their title. They are focused on getting it released. For context, Stranded Deep is a survival game set in the Pacific Ocean.
This is part of the statement on Twitter, "Unfortunately, we still don't have any news on the status of SD's console release". This follows an earlier posting "We're actively gathering info in light of the recent announcements from Telltale." This is surprising as they would have been in good contact prior to the closure in regards to Telltale publishing their title. It's a very interesting situation, and we'll cover the development of it.
For now, it's most likely best to cancel your pre-order as that has apparently already been happening automatically on Playstation 4. Hopefully the game does release in some form on consoles in the near future, we'll have to wait and see on the details. Keep in mind that contracts may prevent the release for some time and there are no solid details on where certain licenses will be heading as Telltale transitions to a full closure. I've reached out to my Telltale Games rep about this and haven't heard back yet on the full details.

The Russian Five
Documentary, Sports
CC Unrated
In the late 1980s, the Detroit Red Wings worked to finally break their decades long Stanley Cup drought by extracting players from the Soviet Union, and in the process, changed the way North American hockey is played.
Once you select Rent you'll have 14 days to start watching the movie and 48 hours to finish it.
In the late 1980s, the Detroit Red Wings hockey team was a laughing stock, often called the "Dead Wings". After a wealthy pizza magnate bought the failing franchise, he appointed an unorthodox General Manager to build a championship team. Throwing off conventional wisdom, the new GM looked to America's mortal enemy in the Cold War, the Soviet Union itself. Through a plot that sounds like a spy novel, the Red Wings organization brought on one Russian after another, sneaking them out under cover of night and whisking them to the Motor City, only to find that the new players faced another problem: Integration. The film follows the stories of the five Russian players that emigrated to America, took root in Detroit, Michigan, and struggled to fit in, all while training day and night to become Stanley Cup champions. The new immigrants had to learn to communicate with their teammates, assimilate into the culture, and become Americans. Yet, along the way, the Russians began to teach the rest of the team the core of Soviet hockey, and better still, they started winning. The Russian Five is the true story of immigrants that became American heroes, teammates that became family, and a scrappy, resilient city that became a world champion, twice. It's a story about hopes and dreams becoming reality, and the harsh reality of dreaming big. The names Federov, Larionov, Fetisov, Kozlov, and Konstantinov are legend now in the Motor City and their influence is still felt throughout the National Hockey League today. And all because a few brave people decided to set aside national identity to reach for the stars.

Q: how to access control name in .cs file wpf I need help how to access the control name in .cs file as my xaml shows below
<StackPanel>
            <TextBlock Text="Select what you want to keep in this order for Invoicing purpose." FontFamily="TimesNewRoman" FontSize="12" FontWeight="Bold"></TextBlock>
            <TextBlock Text=""></TextBlock>
            <CheckBox
                Visibility="Visible"
                Name="selectAll"

A: You can give controls a name with x:Name like
<TextBlock x:Name="myTextBlock" Text="Select what you want to keep in this order for Invoicing purpose." FontFamily="TimesNewRoman" FontSize="12" FontWeight="Bold"></TextBlock>

and then access it in code later like
this.myTextBlock.Text = "Bla"

Be aware that the controls are instantiated in the InitializeComponent(); call in the constructor so you can't reference them beforehand, only after that call.


I joined the Personnel Checks division of the Cummins Mellor group in 2017 on a temporary basis after leaving my job as a Bar Manager at Enfield Cricket Club. After working alongside Ayesha for a number of months I was offered a permanent contract in the Taxi Licensing department of Personnel Checks as a DBS advisor and administrator.
It is my role to ensure that taxi drivers applying for their badges receive the best possible experience to make the procedure run as smoothly as possible. I am to make sure they arrive at the councils with everything they require to get their licence.
In my spare time, I enjoy walking my dog – Eve, spending time with my family, socialising with my friends and taking my 3 Goddaughters on days out. I also love to organise events, such as; baby showers, christenings and charity fundraisers.

Laws and practices pertaining to religion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia vary significantly from those of all other states in the world. Because the role of state Islam is so encompassing—extending well beyond written laws and judicial decisions—it is important to emphasize Saudi Arabia's history in order to better understand the basic elements of law and religion in the Kingdom as they operate in the 21st century. Because Saudi Arabia offers virtually no protections for the individual freedom o…
