King Krule // Uni Refectory, Leeds // 23.11.17
Archy Marshall's fans are enthused. I'm in a completely packed out Leeds Uni Refectory for the 23 year old 'bluewave' pioneer behind King Krule's first tour in years, supporting his new record The Ooz. It's the first new material under the King Krule moniker he's released since 2013, so the overwhelming fan response is to be expected to a degree, but this is something else. Kids are yelling Marshall's name incessantly, and the atmosphere is palpably tense and sweaty.
Before things got this intense, though, we were warmed up by a fantastic performance from London-based hop-hop artist Obongjayar, performing with a simple backing band. His music shared a certain rawness with Marshall's, yet taking the jazz and soul aspects of his stuff further to the forefront. Woozingly intense 'Spaceman' was a peak within the set, unsettling the crowd and jogging the trappings of the Thursday that had just followed out of their minds.
Eventually, Marshall and his band take the stage, ripping effortlessly into the set. Although Marshall's voice can seem distant and otherworldly on record, it translates into a brilliant howl/growl beautifully here, best expressed in recent single 'Dum Surfer'. A fully fleshed live band brings out all the thumping energy of the record in person here, in particular through a series of roaring saxophone performances. 'Half Man Half Shark', another new song later in the set, shares this unfettered expression. The band chant the song title repeatedly and primally before leading into it, pulsing and thriving through the track's intense punk-tinged delivery. The range of songs performed show Marshall's true skill in songwriting – in joining punk, blues, hip-hop, soul and electronica together into one tight-knit package that can flit between genres without overextending itself. Fan favourite 'Baby Blue' highlights the other end of this, a slow-moving jazz ballad that slowly adds a fully fleshed band behind it in one of the best moments of the set. The high point isn't left hanging, though – immediately after the band break into 6 Feet Beneath The Moon opener 'Easy Easy', which explodes outwards with a jubilant full band backing that the recorded track simply doesn't express.
Through a series of other brilliant performances ('Out Getting Ribs', 'A Lizard State' and 'Emergency Blimp' in particular), Marshall and his band show their technical clout – it's an experience that somehow manages to perfectly express the recorded material whilst still improving on it, which is really all we can hope for in a fantastic concert. Overly zealous fans aside, King Krule is a fantastic live show.

I understand dealing with tough times. Getting help at the right time can keep a rough patch from becoming a long-term problem. Whether you are dealing with loneliness, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, drug /alcohol, problems, sexual compulsivity or coming out, having a professional to help guide and support you along the way can make the growing easier.

Woke up with an urge…
A strong urge to write!
Write something special…
So special that might change the world.
Spent all day at home feeling that urge being scattered by a huge lack of words.
Had nothing to say, really!
That lack of words was making me feel useless.
It looked like, deep down inside, I had something to say but wasn't able to hear what my inner self had for me.
Felt desperate!
Felt useless!
Felt drained out!
Came outside to the terrace.
Sat there between my neighboor's trees and the noise from the road nearby.
Listen to the birds singing, the trees moving and the cars rushing up and down the street.
Can't remember what brought me to that question…
I had the computer in front of me, connected, with a text page open waiting to be filled with a special world changing message.
I was there waiting for the first words that might make some sense!
And more nothing!
Why? – I thought.
Why do I need so much to write?
Why do I write?
What drives me to write?
Well, clearly I don't need to write.
I write because I want to.
That urge wasn't a need.
Or maybe it was. I don't know.
What I know is that writing brings me back to myself.
Writing is the path to my inner self.
Writing is connecting with myself.
And today I felt an urge to write something special that might change the world.
What is to be special?
What world?
What kind of change? What is change?
Everything is special in its unique way.
The most simple word, phrase, text, image is special.
Doesn't have to have any kind of characteristics to be special. It is special only by existing. It only depends on the eyes that sees it.
Was I thinking about my inner world or the world around me or the bigger and wider world?
Are they all the same?
What is to change something?
Was I thinking about material change, spiritual change, emotional change, mental change?
It sounds like an utopia, doesn't it?
Is it?
To change is to discover the unknown.
To change is to unveil the hidden wisdom.
To change is to connect to the Universal energy that makes us alive.
Can I change the world with words?
Words are windows.
Windows that give us a glimpse to that special treasure behind the walls of fear and shame.
So, yes! We can change the world with words.
Do my words have that power to change the entire world?
Most certainly!
My words have the power to change my inner world, thus the entire world, as they are the same!
We are full of words…
Our thoughts, our emotions, our feelings, our wishes, our beliefs…
It's all words!
Words that might inprison us or set us free!
We just have to be aware of our inner words and change them if necessary.
Changing our words, we can change our life; we can change the world.
Please, be aware of the words that make you who you are.
Change it if you want to change yourself and light up the world, because the world needs you!
Woke up with an urge…

9. My Book House
My mother had the foresight to surround me with a lot of books and for that I am grateful. She signed me up for the Weekly Reader Book Club and once a month I received a book in the mail — many of which I remember to this day. She also bought me an inexpensive set of encyclopedias (I think they were from the grocery store or something) and made sure I had and used a library card.
The very best books she bought me was actually a set of books. It was an anthology of literature in 12 volumes called My Book House compiled by Olive Beaupré Miller. The books are arranged in ascending order from easy to difficult. From nursery rhymes and simple children's poetry and stories in the first volume through longer stories and poetry up through some classics in the final volume (which also holds an extensive index). The stories and poems come from all over the world.
I'm going to write about all 12 volumes (is that cheating?) in this blog (different posts of course) — and pick out a story or poem that I mostly remember from each one, but for the record, here are the titles of each volume:
Volume 1 — In the Nursery
Volume 2 — Story Time
Volume 3 — Up One Pair of Stairs
Volume 4 — Through the Gate
Volume 5 — Over The Hills
Volume 6 — Through Fairy Halls
Volume 7 — In the Garden
Volume 8 — Flying Sails
Volume 9 — The Treasure Chest
Volume 10 — Through the Tower Window
Volume 11 — In Shining Armor
Volume 13 — Halls of Fame
There were times in school where we were learning about this or that and I remembered having read about it in one of the volumes of My Book House. Now I know how important that was — to have a base of knowledge on which to build more knowledge. I'm not sure my mom knows how important this set of books was to me.
2 Comments
I loved those books and read them many times. The pictures were gorgeous, I think my current taste in art and design come from them! One of my favorite stories was Shingebiss and the North Wind!

As a blogger and internet marketing, of course we must know when we need to move our web from web hosting to VPS Hosting. below are some things that require us to move our website to vps hosting.
1. You need speed
If you add extra content to your site, the speed will probably slow down after some time. This is especially true for websites that rely on intensive database operations. If you notice longer process times, consider upgrading the program.
In addition, traffic on most websites will increase over time. Popular websites mean a lot more traffic, which is great for you. However, this means that your existing plans are unlikely to be able to handle traffic. An update to VPS hosting is currently the next logical step for you.
2. Lack of resources
If you regularly receive 503 server errors, it is likely that your services will be unavailable to your visitors and customers. This means that you do not have enough memory on your server (again, probably due to the fact that your neighbors use resources). It's time to switch to VPS hosting.For example, VPS users get dedicated server resources for their websites. HostPapa VPS Hosting (see picture), HostPapa VPS Plus users are guaranteed with 1.5GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores.
3. Increased security issues
If you are unlucky enough to find yourself on a server that threatens further attacks on another site hosted there, this can be difficult. In this scenario, you need to rely on the good attitude of the host to deal with the situation, or alternatively switch to the VPS to work around the problem.
4. Special operating system (SO)
With full root access (typically delivered with unmanaged VPS hosting management plans), you can install and customize any software required to optimize your hosting experience. This flexibility is especially useful if you need to install a custom operating system.
Great, now we have understand, when we have to start using vps hosting to develop our online business.

Whether you're buying an artisan sandwich or going to the dentist, people provide us essential services every day. It's difficult to remember to stop and appreciate them, which is why we're so excited to celebrate our 29 career holidays!
Where did career holidays come from?
To answer this question, we have to go back to the beginning of time (well, at least, as we know it). For thousands of years, humans could only complete all the tasks that were necessary for them to survive—they weren't allowed to develop any special skills.
But then, society got more complex and the specialization of labor became possible. That means, believe it or not, humans have had "jobs" of some sort for tens of thousands of years. However, each of these jobs were still necessary enough to survival that no one celebrated their completion.
It wasn't until after the 19th century that citizens started proposing actual days to commemorate what they do for a living. Most of these holidays were championed by associations of professionals attempting to draw awareness to certain careers—but there's a rich history of both private citizens and even presidents declaring holidays. Just look at Rick and Margie Segel, who founded National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day (Mar. 29) in honor of Rick's parents—or President Bush, who declared National Doctor's Day (Mar. 30) in 1991.
Submit your favorite career holidays
Do you see a career missing from this list? We welcome holiday submissions over on our holiday submission page. Be prepared to share a bit of history about the holiday. We'd also love if you could give us a track record of media coverage (it's a great way to prove your holiday is celebrated). If your holiday passes those requirements, we'd love to hear from you!

Concern about presidential elections
21 April 2005
Letter to H.E. Mamadou Tandja, Chairperson, Economic Community of West Africa
and President of the Republic of Niger, 21 April, 2005
Your Excellency,
I greet you on behalf of the global ecumenical movement and congratulate you
on your election as Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States
(ECOWAS). The courageous and decisive action of imposing sanctions on the
Togolese government forced Mr Faure Gnassingbe to resign as President of Togo,
giving way for presidential elections. The statement of the ECOWAS Secretary
General: "This is a big victory for Togo. It is a victory for Africa. We have set new
standards of government in Africa, and we must be seen to respect and to live up
to these new expirations - respect for constitution and the rule of law," is extremely
important. The World Council is fully supportive of the spirit in which these
decisions were made. Notwithstanding this, the situation calls for an intensive
and focused monitoring by ECOWAS.
The World Council of Churches, together with our ecumenical partners, sent
an ecumenical delegation to Togo to express solidarity with the people and churches
in that country. According to the report of the delegation there is concern, if
not fear, about the forthcoming presidential elections scheduled for 24 April. The
Council shares this concern and fear because it is difficult, if not impossible, to
organize a free and fair election within six weeks in a country not known for democratic
culture. The ecumenical delegation in its report states: "The time-scale
determined for the forthcoming presidential elections was technically too short
to be able to inspire the necessary trust and transparency and results acceptable
to all."
We have received disturbing information about clashes during the weekend
between government and opposition supporters in Lomé where a number of people
were killed and wounded.
We urge Your Excellency to consider using your influence and good offices, if
possible, to extend the election date. Should that not be feasible, all efforts should
be made to ensure that peaceful elections are held under a vigilant monitoring
system. We believe the time has come for the people of Togo to have a democratically-
elected government that is accountable to them.
Sincerely yours,
Rev. Dr. Samuel Kobia
General Secretary

Last week, dumber than Dementia former-photographer-now-fulltime-sidechick Eki put on her blond-est wig & tried to convince us she wasn't pregnant. It didn't work; & this week, it still doesn't.
On the plus side, Obi's awake!!! with Tok's in the hospital & Deyemi Okanlawon & O.C Ukeje alone in the same room just makes a bitch wanna
steal a strip pole, call up Flavour & Dillish & set up a camera start a bible study group. And just in case you were wandering, Obi calls his wanker "The Obi". Oh, & something goes wrong with the audio at the 4:14 mark. Aargh.
Pretty good episode if you ask me. Oh wait, there's more, & as you can imagine things go downhill from here. Yvonne &
Paris Hilton Eki attend Sharon's engagement dinner which is all sorts of awkward considering the fact that Von used to 69 Sharon's dad.
Can we just take a minute to talk about Kaylah Oniwo's nasty ass armpit?? Eek. Omg, what in hell's name?? Thot & two other loud hoes are Sharon's
trannys "girls". LOL.
Sharon asks Von to join her wedding train & at this point I'm 100% sure that trick's a dyke. I mean, she's been ALL OVER Von this entire season, & yes, I know how that sounded. Von says yes, goes off to find the bathroom & somehow ends up in a room with Meka, Sharon's fiancé who whines about feeling powerless cuz his life feels like its been planned for him. Yikes. #RichPeopleProblems
Von runs into Sharon's mum briefly, heads upstairs cuz um, yeah she's still gotta pee & runz into Folarin again. Shoot me. Am I the only one sensing the weird, 50 Shades Of Wrong, creepy sexual tension between these two? Someone throw 'em a bottle of lube already. Trick then storms off with Eki, but refuses to tell her what's wrong.
The last 4 minutes are of Folarin blackmailing Sharon's dad into introducing him to his business partners/friends. Apparently, Dilf's been fucking around more than we imagined.
Something new I learned today: Makida Moka's ass is so flat,
it makes the wall jealous, all she got is a back and legs but I don't judge 😉
& here's a shot of Von tryna take a really big sixty-six. You're welcome 🙂

text: Samuru-DN Posted June 19, 2019 Not sure if this is the correct area for this topic but it seemed to fit the best. I had a nostalgia wave hit recently and fondly recalled my time in Aion from years ago. While I haven't played in a bit I do wonder what happened to the people I spent a huge chunk of time with and while it's a long shot, I wonder if any of them still play or anyone here may know them. I was the acting Brigade General of the legion Opulence for a few years, my in-game name is Samuru but people also knew me as Zole or Rosch. We were on the Tiamat server (Zikel before that) although I think it was absorbed by Katalam or Danaria. There are a few names I'm able to recall off the top of my head and they are as follows: Kinjite, Fahrenheit, Babygotback, Oumashoe, Shuang (sp?), Bunny (Don't remember the full name but we all called her that), Tenko, Tesius and those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. If you were ever in the Opulence legion or may know these names, shoot me a message. Heck even if we used to hang together give me a poke as well, I'd love to catch up with the people I shared great times with. Thank you and have a great day. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Central Bank Gov. Riad Salameh sought to ease concerns Monday, saying the bank had a usable foreign cash reserve of $30 billion and total assets of $38 billion.The Central Bank has taken steps to protect depositors by ensuring no bank would fail and will seek to lower interest rates through liquidity management, he said.The funneling of dollar liquidity from banks to the Central Bank to bridge the government's funding gap -- a process called "financial engineering" -- has also broken.Salameh said liquidity management was needed, with banks able to borrow dollars at 20 percent interest to secure depositors' needs on condition that such funds were not sent abroad.Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings have downgraded Lebanon's largest banks further into junk territory, and a local banker said some international correspondent banks were now more wary of providing dollar liquidity.

Recently, WWE have been on a talent signing spree for their developmental show NXT, and have signed a bunch of exceptionally talented wrestlers to appear on the yellow brand that you really should keep an eye on.
1. Aleister Black
Formerly known as Tommy End, Aleister Black is the first of the newest NXT superstars we'll be looking at in this list. A decorated and well-traveled veteran of the squared circle, Black has appeared in such promotions as Insane Championship Wrestling in Scotland, winning their tag-team championship with Michael Dante as The Sumerian Death Squad. He's also appeared in PROGRESS in England, where he was again a tag champ with Michael Dante, as well as being the winner of the 2016 Super Strong Style tournament.
Additionally, he has been seen in such promotions as Southside Wrestling Entertainment, Westside Xtreme Wrestling, Fight Club Pro, and Catch Wrestling Norddeutschland. Most recently he appeared at WWE's United Kingdom Championship Tournament in a losing effort against Neville, but has yet to make an appearance on WWE television.
With a background in kickboxing and silat, as well as other martial arts, the former Tommy End brings a unique striking based style to his matches. At the same time, however, he is no stranger to mat wrestling, as well as the occasional high-flying move. As his Anticross submission and Nephilim springboard moonsault show, Aleister Black is more than comfortable wrestling a whole range of different styles.
Truly the man who is neither saint nor sinner will make NXT fade to black when he debuts at NXT Takeover: Orlando against Andrade Cien Almas.
2. Tyler Bate
The current WWE UK champion, Tyler Bate is perhaps the youngest member of the combined WWE roster across all programming. At 20 years of age, "Textbook" Tyler Bate has already become a multiple time champion in addition to winning both the WWE UK Tournament and the WWE United Kingdom Championship. Appearing in such promotions as ATTACK! Pro Wrestling, wXw, and Kamikaze Pro, Bate is best known for his work teaming with mentor and trainer Trent Severn as Moustache Mountain in Chikara, WhatCulture Pro Wrestling, and as British Strong Style in Progress Wrestling, appearing as a trio along with Pete Dunne.
Despite his young age, Bate is already a decorated wrestler, winning Chikara's Campeonatos De Parejas with Trent Severn, the ATTACK! 24:7 Championship, The Progress Tag-team Championship with Trent Severn, and the wXw Shotgun Championship.
Already boasting a resume of a wrestler twice his age, the future looks bright for Tyler Bate as he defends his UK Championship on future appearances in NXT.
3. Ruby Riot
Formerly known as Heidi Lovelace, Ruby Riot is one of the newest and perhaps most exciting additions to the women's title scene in NXT. Riot has appeared for such promotions as OVW, Beyond Wrestling, and Revolution Championship Wrestling. The "Punk-Rock Ragdoll" is best known for her work in Shimmer Women Athletes where she is a one-time tag-team champion with Evie as Team Slap-Happy. She has also appeared in Absolute Intense Wrestling and Chikara, where she is a Women's Champion and Young Lion's Cup Tournament winner respectively.
Recently debuting in an attack against SAnitY's Nikki Cross, Ruby Riot has already made a splash in NXT, and it is the opinion of this writer she will continue to make an impact in the women's division of NXT.
4. Kimber Lee
One of the most exciting signees to the NXT women's division, Kimber Lee already boasts an impressive resume in her half decade long career in the sport. To date, Kimber Lee has worked in Combat Zone Wrestling, WhatCulture Pro Wrestling, Smash Wrestling, Beyond Wrestling, and Shimmer Women Athletes.
Of all these promotions she has worked for, Kimber Lee has seen the greatest exposure for her work in Chikara as "Princess" Kimber Lee. Here she is a one-time Challenge Of The Immortals Tournament winner, as well as a one-time Chikara Grand Champion. This makes her the only female wrestler in modern pro wrestling history to hold the major championship of an international wrestling promotion, which is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
While previously appearing on NXT television in a one-time appearance against Ember Moon, Kimber Lee has yet to officially debut on the NXT roster. You should expect to see her debut sometime after Wrestlemania in the wake of the traditional main roster NXT call-ups. Rest assured the former "Princess Palmstrike" will make a major impact upon her debut.
5. Pete Dunne
The final NXT superstar you should keep your eyes on is none other than WWE UK Tournament participant and current Progress World Champion, Pete Dunne. Having been training to get into the squared circle since the tender age of 12 years old, "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne is best known for his work in Revolution Pro Wrestling, Michinoku Pro Wrestling, ATTACK! Pro wrestling, a promotion that he founded himself, and Progress Wrestling, among others. Despite being only 24 years of age, Pete Dunne has already proven himself to be a decorated competitor. He's won the RPW British Cruiserweight Championship, the wXw Shotgun Championship, Progress Tag Team Championship, Progress World Championship, and is the longest reigning ATTACK! 24:7 Champion, holding it for an unprecedented 307 days.
While still working a full schedule on the independent scene, Pete Dunne has already made an appearance in NXT in a match against fellow Progress wrestler Mark Andrews. Through WWE's working relationship with Progress wrestling, Dunne has been able to make appearances on WWE television while still competing in other promotions. He is set to make an appearance at this year's Wrestlemania Axxess show, which will feature wrestlers from Progress Wrestling, as well as Insane Championship Wrestling.
If his appearances in the UK Championship Tournament are any indication, it won't be long before Dunne becomes a regular fixture on NXT. Whether it be in the UK Championship title hunt, reforming British Strong Style with Tyler Bate and Trent Severn in NXT, or possibly even contending for the NXT Championship, "Young and Bitter" Pete Dunne is certainly one to watch.

text: I was really excited to start creating rules for my home automation options. (T-stat) but my enthusiasm was quickly deflated as I realized my menus were slightly different than the menus in the direction I had read online, my menu lacks the most valuable feature to me, the ability to create rules. . I was able to create some rules using the Alarm.com interface but I feel a bit ripped off, as I eventually wanted to make this a Local alarm after my contract, This 2Gig system is through Link Interactive. I do have the installer code, is their a way to give myself the local control to create rules, is it better than the alarm.com rules? they seem to be limited. I guess I don't have to worry about this till my 3 YEAR CONTACT! is up . i'm a $1000 into equipment and I feel a bit like it not mine all the way and its worthless with out a continued contract. Does anyone else use Link and can make "rules" from their Panel?

15 Nov Physical Exercise: Look after your brain, look after your mental health.
We all know exercise is good for our bodies. How good? Well for starters it reduces your risk of heart attack; manages your weight; lowers blood cholesterol; reduces risk of type 2 diabetes and some cancers; lowers blood pressure; strengthens bones, muscles and joints and lowers risk of developing osteoporosis.
There's more to exercise though than just the physical benefits. Exercise also helps us to feelgood and lift our mood. It has been a long known fact that moving our bodies stimulates the production of the feel-good hormones, endorphins, which in turn have a placating effect on how demanding/threatening we view the world. There are other side effects too. It might simply give us the break we need from our ever busy lives, provide opportunity to get outside and receive some sunshine or be in nature, and even enhance our social connections when experienced with others.
What is now gaining more and more traction is not just that exercise is a short term mood lifter, but it can also be used to maintain and protect our mental health in the long-term, and even be implemented to help treat some mental illnesses. Recent research has suggested exercise may protect against depression, as well as be used in the treatment of major depressive disorder. Furthermore, exercise can be considered a viable option to assist in treating anxiety, and also has potential to treat such illnesses as post-traumatic stress disorder. This is very good news for Australians where our current mental health stats show that almost half the population will experience a mental health disorder at some point in their lifetime, with 1 in 6 people experiencing depression and 1 in 4 people experiencing anxiety.
So what is going on here? Well, exercise is now being shown to have more of an effect on our brain than we initially thought. The hippocampus, a region of the brain involved in emotional regulation, memory, and learning, is directly impacted by exercise. It has been shown that exercise actually leads to the creation of new hippocampal neurons, a process known as neurogenesis.
Neurogenesis, the process of growing new neurons, in other words growing new brain matter, can be stimulated by exercise.
How does this all then play in to looking after our mental health? How do new hippocampal neurons specifically play a role in protecting against or treating mental illness? Well, it is now thought that these new hippocampal neurons may play a role in storing new memories and subsequently differentiating them from old memories. This in turn allows us greater ability to process new information, make a distinction between the usefulness of old and new memories, and therefore flexibly evaluate and behave in our environment. On the other hand, when mental illness is prevalent we often see individuals repeating unhelpful behaviours with an inability to take on new information or evaluate what they already know. In effect, their brain gets stuck. It becomes inflexible. They are in need of new tools to help them process the world in a different way. What are some of those tools? Hippocampal neurons.
So, if you exercise and keep those hippocampal neurons growing, you'll contribute to what is known as your cognitive flexibility, a core component to maintaining mental health.
OK, so exercise now has the potential to be really good for us, both physically and mentally. But how much should we be doing? Can you prescribe an exact dose of physical activity for the optimum mental health? Not exactly. Given the complexity of biological, psychological, and social variables of individuals it is not a one size fits all approach. However, there are a few guidelines which might help you on your way.
The World Health Organisation recommends we should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise throughout the week, or at least 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both. That equates to a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise across 5 days of the week.
All very well if you're a keen exerciser and have a routine and life set-up that allows for this, but what do you do if you simply don't have the time? There's good news. The latest research shows that a single 10 minute bout of very light physical activity (on par with yoga and tai chi) still elevates activity in the hippocampus; that essential memory formation and storage component of your brain so deeply linked to your mental health.
What next then? Start small. Take a walk around the block when you get home or get off the bus a stop early. Maybe spend ten minutes with the kids in the backyard. Whatever you do, and as long as it's physical, you'll be looking after your health in more ways than you realise. Get active and look after your wellbeing in both your mind and body. Oh, and grow your brain at the same time.

Cold War Cars
Written by Matthew Hocker
During the Second World War, the United States and Soviet Union had formed an uneasy alliance. After the conflict ended, the relationship between these two nations would disintegrate into the Cold War. This drawn-out period of competing ideologies galvanized the nuclear arms and space races. For the Russian automobile industry, it meant building cars which would rival those of their Western counterparts. One of the most iconic Soviet vehicles from this era was the ZIS-110.
The ZIS-110 received its name from the Moscow-based factory which manufactured it, Zavod Imeni Stalina (Factory named after Stalin). The origins of the company can be traced back to 1916 when it was known as AMO (Avtomobilnoe Moskovskoe Obshchestvo). At the time, it functioned as a repair depot for World War I military vehicles, but within the next two years the plant also built a handful of Fiat F-15 1 ½ ton trucks. Elements of the F-15's design found their way into the 1924 AMO-F-15, which is considered to be the first true vehicle of Soviet origin (Russia became a communist country following the October Revolution in 1917).
1924 also marked the year of Vladimir Lenin's death. Joseph Stalin established himself as the USSR's undisputed leader and ruled with an iron fist, ready to snuff out any perceived political enemies standing in his way. To soften his image in the eyes of the Soviet populace, Stalin created one the most prolific personality cults the world had ever seen. In 1931 AMO was renamed to Zavod Imeni Stalina, sending a clear message that vehicles built by the plant would not be possible without the leadership of Comrade Stalin.
Given that he named a factory after himself, Stalin was not afraid to make demands of Russia's motor vehicle industry. Since disobedience could lead to one's execution, it was generally considered best practice to follow the dictator's orders. In particular, Stalin was bent on achieving passenger car production and his wish came true in 1936 with the unveiling of the ZIS-101 limousine. Stylistically, the ZIS-101 drew heavily from American cars of the day, and it was manufactured under the direction of Ivan Lickhachov. Stalin was reportedly pleased with the final product.
Following the car's unveiling, the Western press frequently remarked that the ZIS-110 bore a striking resemblance to the 1942 Packard 180. These similarities were intentional, as Stalin had asked engineers to develop the Russian equivalent of the 180. The dictator had owned Packard cars before the war and developed an affinity for the marque.
This resemblance would spark an on-going rumor that Packard sold its 1942 body dies to the USSR during World War II at the request of F.D.R. It was believed the deal was made to strengthen ties between the allied nations. Given how often the press referred to the car as a Packard clone it is easy to see how this theory took hold.
Research indicates the rumors were exactly that. George L. Hamlin wrote an article on the controversy for the Spring 2004 issue of The Packard Cormorant. During the 1970s, the magazine's editor Bud Juneau corresponded with Packard engineers who claimed no such deal took place and that they had a chance to thoroughly examine a ZIS-110. According to Packard's chief engineer William H. Graves, "Packard had nothing to do with the design, tooling, or manufacturing of the car. It was a copy as close as they could come."
While the car was found to have imitated mechanical components of Packards, such as the radio, shift levers and transmission, it was by no means an identical copy. The wheelbase was longer and the chassis was thicker, making it significantly heavier than the 180. Moreover, the body was not an exact replica of a Packard, as it appeared to have also lifted elements of design from Cadillac.
The ZIS-110 analyzed by Packard employees and Wherry was a war prize from the Korean War, captured by the U.S. military from the North Koreans in 1950. Syngman Rhee, South Korea's first president, presented the car as a gift to General Walker. After falling victim to a traffic accident later that year, the car was shipped to Walker's widow in America.
After Stalin's death in 1952, Nikita Krushchev rose to power and increasingly spoke out against the practices of his predecessor and, in 1956, delivered his infamous speech denouncing Stalin's personality cult. Soon after, Stalin was dropped from the company's name in favor of that of its former director, Ivan Likhachov. The company would now be known as Zavod Imeni Lichachova, and the ZIS-110 would be rebranded as the ZIL-110 for the remainder of its production.
To learn more about ZIS/ZIL or any other cars from the Cold War era, be sure to contact the AACA Library or pay us a visit. The story of these cars comes to life through sales literature and articles published during the period. If you have any additional information or literature regarding these unusual cars, we'd love to hear from you!

Your teeth are designed to last for a lifetime with the right care; however, even with the best preventive measures in place, teeth can still become damaged. Whether due to decay, infection, or trauma, sometimes the only viable means to save them from extraction is with dental crowns in Tyson's Corner & Potomac. With a custom-made cap, you can restore its health and function while improving its appearance. At Just for Your Smile, we offer the high-quality crown you need to rehabilitate your tooth.
A dental crown is a protective cap that is placed over your tooth that extends to your gum line. Your dentist may recommend one for several reasons, such as to prevent a weakened tooth from breaking; however, they are most often needed for restorative treatments.
When a tooth has become damaged, such as due to a fracture or decay, the crown will prevent the need to have it removed. It will not just protect your tooth from future damage but also restore its health and function. It is not uncommon for it to be used in combination with other restorative procedures, like root canal therapy or a dental bridge.
Now, crowns are made from all-ceramic material, allowing them to look like a real tooth. It will be made to match your exact size, shape, and color needs to blend in seamlessly with your remaining natural teeth. Due to the aesthetic benefits of ceramic, they can also be used in cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of a tooth that has dark discoloration or an abnormal shape.
Dr. Osseiran embraces the most advanced technology to create the high-quality restoration that you need—whether for preventive, restorative, or cosmetic reasons.
Dental crowns are great for patients with a broken tooth in Tyson's Corner & Potomac, decayed teeth as a result of poor oral hygiene, or even a tooth that is severely worn due to excessive wear and tear. Patients with any of the following can achieve a fully restored smile with dental crowns:
To rehabilitate your tooth, you will first need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Osseiran. He will use digital x-rays in combination with a visual examination to develop a customized treatment plan. You will then be scheduled for your procedure.
Your tooth will first be prepared by removing any areas of damage or decay. It will be reshaped to allow the crown to fit snuggly over it. To ensure that it will meet your exact needs, Dr. Osseiran uses CEREC impressions. The 3D technology allows him to take the measurements necessary without the need for messy or foul-tasting impression material.
The images are sent to CAD/CAM software, where the specifics for your restoration will be created. Using advanced technology, it removes any room for error to ensure that it is the right size, shape, and color.
The dental lab will make your crown to meet your exact specifications. While you wait, a temporary one will be attached. In a couple of weeks, you will return to our office to have your permanent one bonded in place.
If you need a dental crown, do not wait. Get the high-quality restoration you need with Dr. Osseiran. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

|Re: Ideas for a relevance score that could be considered stable across multiple searches with the same query structure?

Chuck Williams mentioned a proposal he had for normalization of scores that would give a constant score range that would allow comparison of scores. Chuck, did you ever write any code to that end or was it just algorithmic discussion? Here is the point I'm at now: I have my matching engine working. The fields to be indexed and the queries are defined by the user. Hoss, I'm not sure how that affects your idea of having a custom Similarity class since you mentioned that having predictable query structures was important... The user kicks off an indexing then defines the queries they want to try matching with. Here is an example of the query fragments I'm working with right now: year_str:"${Year}"^2 year_str:[${Year -1} TO ${Year +1}] title_title_mv:"${Title}"^10 title_title_mv:${Title}^2 +(title_title_mv:"${Title}"~^5 title_title_mv:${Title}~) director_name_mv:"${Director}"~2^10 director_name_mv:${Director}^5 director_name_mv:${Director}~.7 For each item in the source feed, the variables are interpolated (the query term is transformed into a grouped term if there are multiple values for a variable). That query is then made to find the overall best match. I then determine the relevance for each query fragment. I haven't written any plugins for Lucene yet, so my current method of determining the relevance is by running each query fragment by itself then iterating through the results looking to see if the overall best match is in this result set. If it is, I record the rank and multiply that rank (e.g. 5 out of 10) by a configured fragment weight. Since the scores aren't normalized, I have no good way of determining a poor overall match from a really high quality one. The overall item could be the first item returned in each of the query fragments. Any help here would be very appreciated. Ideally, I'm hoping that maybe Chuck has a patch or plugin that I could use to normalize my scores such that I could let the user do a matching run, look at the results and determine what score threshold to set for subsequent runs. Thanks, Daniel

These account for about 15.8% of the country and occur mostly in northern Hararghe, the Danakil lowlands and along the Red Sea coast. Patches are also found in parts of Bale and Hararghe lowlands in the southeast, the lower Omo valley and in parts of northwestern Tigray.
In the northeast, the region consists mostly of recent lava flows with scattered small patches of shrubs and scrub.
In other parts it consists mostly of alluvial fans and depressions and partly of overgrazed areas where the sparse vegetation of scattered scrub and grass allows some browsing and grazing during the rain season.

- For survey stage: Ensure that have no barriers around building can be effected by the construction process
- For asbuilt stage: Support to do as-built documentation
Point cloud to BIM is a platform of technology and software to create 3D model with precise and accurate information from pointcloud for data usage. This is a latest technology used in the AEC industry to capture As-built conditions of a building by exporting point data on CAD or BIM software platforms like Revit.
|Scan to BIM vs poin cloud to BIM
We have to create BIM model (3D model with detailed information that required for using) from pointcloud which scanned by laser scan. Hence, they can be used for coordination, prefabrication, estimation and scheduling.
Point cloud to BIM is the platform and scan to BIM is the process that has to be done in AS-BUILT condition.
Work Methodology:
• Import the Scan file into Revit and set the co-ordinates as clients' requirements.
• All of building elements will be modeled in the listed deliverable scope of work
• Model was timely submitted so as to keep a check on the project progress. Some of the elements which were completely not visible in the scans were develop using the photographs provided by the client.

Bug #7765
Proc#arity bug with optional argument
We have:
Proc.new{|a, b, c, d, e|}.arity # => 5
Matz decided [ruby-core:46515] we also have:
Proc.new{|a, b, c, d, e=0|}.arity # => 4
It looks like we currently have:
Proc.new{|a, b=0, c, d, e|}.arity # => 1, should be same as above
Hopefully there won't be disagreement that this is a bug?
I'm asking in particular because there was a specific test committed by Yui to that effect. I hope this was just an oversight?

Police in Fife are appealing for witnesses after an armed robbery in Lochgelly on Sunday 14th February 2016.
The incident occurred around 2pm in a flat in Melville Street when two men entered the flat, presented what appeared to be a small gun and robbed the two male occupants of a number of items including a Playstation 3 games console and games.
No shots were fired during the incident.
The first suspect is described as white skinned, around 5 ft 9 inches tall, slim built and aged in his 30's. He had short black hair, and was wearing a black hooded top, blue jeans and a dark woollen hat.
The second suspect is also white skinned, being around 5 ft 6 inches tall, medium built and aged in his mid 20's. He was wearing a light coloured hooded top and orange scarf.
They both spoke with a local accent.
Detective Inspector Des FitzGerald of Fife CID said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen anyone acting suspiciously in the area yesterday, particularly anyone who fits these descriptions.
"Similarly if you have been offered a Playstation 3 for sale, we would like to speak to you.
Cowdenbeath Community Inspector, Ian Stephen added: " We recognise the impact this will have on local residents and we will have high visibility patrols in the Melville Street area of Lochgelly for the time being.
"Anyone with information or concerns can speak to one of the officers on patrol or contact police on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Five hundred and one children between the ages of seven and 19 in some communities in Accra who engage in, as well as being at risk of engaging in commercial sex, have been rescued by International Needs, an NGO in Accra.
Out of this number, 96 of the children were victims while 405 were at risk of engaging in commercial sex.
They are from communities which include Bubiashie, La, Accra Newtown, Mallam Atta, Nima and Maamobi, all suburbs of Accra among others.
The Child Rights Programmes Manager of the NGO, Mrs Joyce Odame, made this known at a ceremony which marked the end of the first phase of the programme, which started in July 2011 and ended in June 2014.
The project was to protect and rescue children from commercial sexual exploitation, as well as rehabilitate them, and was funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Australian government.
She said 406 of the children were placed in formal school while the rest were given the needed equipment to learn various vocations such as hairdressing.
Mrs Odame said the children included those from poor homes with unemployed parents, neglected and abandoned children, school dropouts, as well as teen mothers.
She said 256 of the children were screened for sexually transmitted infections and 424 were registered for National Health Insurance.
Mrs Odame said 176 parents were linked to Initiative Development, Ghana, a financial NGO, to secure loans to start businesses to enable them to support their children.
"A total amount of GH¢97,450 was disbursed and each parent received between GH¢300 and GH¢400. Thirty-two of them have repaid their first loans and have gone in for their second," she added.
In spite of the successes chalked up, Mrs Odame said they faced many challenges during the implementation of the projects which included high dropout rate among vocational skills trainees, unplanned pregnancies, unsupportive parents, as well as uncooperative trainers.
However, Mrs Odame said in spite of these challenges the aims and objectives of the project were met and was happy that a two-year follow-up project had been approved by the donors.
She said there would be among other things a provision of business start-up kits for 30 vocational skills graduates.
The Australian High Commissioner to Ghana, Mrs Joana Adamson, pledged her country's' support to assist in putting an end to sexual abuse of children.

I have great respect for the work of Dr. Schwartz, and this video (and post) make it easy to see why.
He is surely at the forefront of his field, and will remain there for quite some time.
Dr. Schwartz explains the most similar procedures to LASIK corrective eye surgery.
Dr. Schwartz:
Besides LASIK eye surgery we have the Visian ICL™ and ICL is basically an implantable contact lens. I typically use that in my practice for patients whose corneas are a little too thin for LASIK, or their prescription is a little too high. For whatever reason, LASIK doesn't feel like the right choice for them.
Another option would be to do what's called the lens replacement, or if they have early cataracts to actually do a cataract surgery instead of LASIK. When a patient comes in and has a lens replacement procedure the goal with that is to restore not just the distance vision, but the reading vision, the computer vision, and the distance vision. LASIK can't do that. The best LASIK can offer is the monovision where one eye's distance and one eye is either intermediate or near; it can't give you all three because we don't have three eyes, you can only go at two different distances.
With the multifocal lenses they have the ability to see at all those different levels. There is a lot of different versions of them. The two main ones that I use, well actually there's three, there's the ReSTOR® lens, which I think is an excellent lens, a very similar product is the TECNIS® Multifocal. I put in a lot of those.
And then another one, which is slightly different but also very good, is the Crystalens. The ReSTOR® and the TECNIS® work with three specific zones of vision. Their biggest issue is at night you can see a little bit of a halo but it tends to fade but they both have very, very good near vision, good intermediate, and good distance.
The Crystalens is a wonderful technology. It actually changes shape and focuses just like the eye used to when we were younger. Patients are able to see far away. They are able to see at a computer pretty well. The reading is hit or miss a little bit with the Crystalens. So I tell my Crystalens patients, you may still need some reading glasses but it should be much better than what you experienced before.
Another type of lens that we do offer, that I do perform is the Toric lens. Patients often come in with astigmatism but can't have laser to fix it for whatever reason or they have a cataract and they want to take care of the cataract and the astigmatism at once. That option is the Toric lens. A Toric means it fixes the astigmatism in the axis of their eye that's having a problem. So they get better distance vision and that particular lens doesn't give reading or intermediate, but it gives excellent distance vision. So a lot of it is goal-dependent. The discussion, the conversation that I have with each patient helps determine which technology is going to be right for them.
About Dr. Jay Schwartz, D.O.:
Dr. Jay L. Schwartz is arguably the most prolific refractive surgeon in the valley. Having performed over 28,000 LASIK surgeries and offering both IntraLASIK and Custom LASIK procedures, it is not hard to see why professional athletes have trusted the Schwartz Laser Eye Center since 2001. Dr. Jay L. Schwartz is the team ophthalmologist for the Phoenix Suns, Arizona Diamondbacks, world champion Phoenix Mercury and the team LASIK ophthalmologist for the Phoenix Coyotes. The Schwartz Laser Eye Center is also the official LASIK center of the Suns, Coyotes, and Diamondbacks making it easy to see why Schwartz Laser Eye Center is synonymous with professionalism. In fact, Schwartz Laser Center's doctors spend every spring assisting numerous professional baseball teams preparing for the upcoming year.

Scottish frontman Roddy Woomble takes solo album on tour
PUBLISHED: 15:09 03 October 2017
David Gillanders
Scottish singer and former indie band frontman Roddy Woomble will perform songs from his new album at Thekla in Bristol.
He fronted the Scottish band Idlewild, and together they released eight albums and three compilations, two of which reached the UK's top 10.
Not long after they released their 2015 album Everything Ever Written, they began recording their next songs.
However, they decided to take a break, and Woomble ended up working on a personal and introspective album by himself.
The material moves through folk rock, to country and indie rock, with some jazz elements.
It is all held together by his soft Scottish baritone and thoughtful, often mysterious, lyrics.
Woomble will perform at Thekla, in The Grove, on October 21, where doors will open at 6.30pm.
Tickets, priced £16.50, are available from www.bristolticketshop.co.uk
