Phoenix Communities
Phoenix is the capital of Arizona, as well as the largest city and largest metropolitan area in Arizona. It is home to more than five Fortune 1000 company headquarters. It has received the National Civic League's prestigious "All-America City" Award four times.
Phoenix has a desert climate, and averages 325 sunny days and less than eight inches of rain a year
On this page you will find additional information on each community, and see what is available in each area. Phoenix is very large, so only a portion of the total communities are listed here!
Over 12 million visitors visit Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun every year. What is more impressive however is our size, the metro area covers 14,600 square miles!
Phoenix, A City of Urban Villages
Phoenix is divided into "urban villages", each with a village core.

Phoenix is a very large city, click below or look at all of the Phoenix homes to your right.
Map of some of the communities that we broke down for you in Phoenix. Phoenix is a very large city so only a portion of the neighborhoods are listed here.
Select Phoenix Neighborhoods
Arcadia Area
Arcadia sits by the base of Camelback Mountain, its larger green lots, and the uniform top quality homes and schools make this an ideal area to live.
Arcadia was built on former citrus groves, and is well known to the locals for well-irrigated, mature landscaping. Several yards prominently feature orange, lemon and grapefruit trees as reminders of the area's past.
The homes in this area tend to command higher prices due to its location and appeal. The community boundaries vary depending on who you talk to, we map it out per the City of Phoenix planning department. Most of the community is located in the City of Phoenix, but the eastern portion is in the City of Scottsdale. The entire area is in the Scottsdale School District with the impressive Hopi Elementary School.
Arcadia Lite
Located just west of Arcadia, a fun, hip, and professional area. The area has name recognition without the higher prices of Arcadia next door! Home of La Grande Orange, and Postinos.
Arizona Biltmore Estates Village
The "official" Biltmore! Location, that one word says it all! This area also offers luxury, prestige, history, two golf courses, lakes, views, a historic hotel, and many living choices. Paul Harvey the famous radio personality made this area his home. This area is regulated by a "Master" HOA, the ABEVA, additionally each community within this area has its own governing HOA.
Arizona Biltmore, Expanded
Not only the official Arizona Biltmore Village, but also the areas around it. Commonly known as the Biltmore area.
Coronado Historic District
The Coronado area is an historic district with smaller lots with some guest houses.
Downtown Phoenix
Urban Living, Downtown Phoenix living brings you right in the center and you can walk to the baseball and basketball games, see concerts, and walk to restaurants.
F.Q. Story Historical District
F.Q Story is an historic district close to downtown Phoenix and one of our freeways.
Garfield Historic District
Garfield and Garfield North are historic districts just east of downtown Phoenix known for smaller homes and lots.
Laveen is a City of Phoenix "urban village" that is a little over 30 square miles. The area has been very rural in nature with cotton fields and dairies covering most of the area. Laveen was named for the first Postmaster, Walter E. Laveen in 1918. In the 1990's Phoenix builders discovered the area and started a building boom that has changed this area into a suburb with new homes. The area is home to a large park with a 25 acre fishing lake next to a public golf course. The very large South Mountain Park is on the south side of Laveen and features 16,000 acres of desert with hiking trails and some great views of Phoenix. Homes in Laveen range from the starter home to some very impressive gated communities in higher elevations with some killer views of the valley
Lower Arcadia
This community is located just south of Arcadia proper, and is considered an up and coming area. Please note the amount of new home builders in the southern section! Most of the prices are on average lower than the homes in Arcadia proper.
Midtown Phoenix
Just north of the downtown Phoenix area, lies an extension of downtown along the Central Avenue corridor which I call midtown Phoenix. Home of the world famous Heard Museum, numerous historic districts, and The Phoenix Art Museum.
Take in a play at the Art Museum, have dinner at many choices of cafes or famous restaurants, and live in luxury or just the average Joe, maybe even take the light rail to ASU or the airport.
North Central Cooridor
Palmcroft-Encanto Historic District
Palmcroft – Encanto is an upscale historic district with many of the homes on curved streets with a city park with lakes and golf just to the north.
Roosevelt Historic District
Roosevelt is an historic district located downtown Phoenix, it originally was home to the Phoenix elite.
Willo Historic District
Willo is a midtown historic district just south of a major hospital with well kept homes just west of Central
Windsor Square Historic District
Windsor Square is a popular historic district north of Midtown that our local press has described as "hot".

LOS ANGELES — Many of America's cities are in the crapper thanks to years of policy that's favored suburbs and sprawl, writes The New York Times' architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff. But with a city guy in the Oval Office, and billions being pumped into urban centers, this trend is reversible and opportunity especially lies in four cities: New Orleans, Buffalo, New York City's Bronx borough, and Los Angeles.
Ouroussoff acknowledges our city has fared better than most (our booming population has been spared from natural disasters), but our limited transit network and our lack of green space threaten the livability of L.A., and if unchecked, could turn the city into a North American Cairo. But a "citywide plan that anchored Los Angeles along two major axes — the green river and the asphalt boulevard — could save it from becoming a third world city," writes Ouroussoff, a former architecture critic for the Los Angeles Times.

Yikes! Here in the Northern Hemisphere the golden days of this years summer are long gone and are slowly replaced by harsh and cold weather conditions. Sudden outbreaks of heavy showers, strong winds and dying trees await us. Therefore, autumn isn't exactly the best time for most people to be happy about. However, maybe some music from the now warming South could distract our minds from the darkening skies. Hmm, Australia's '60s psych pop rock outfit King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard might just be your imaginative way out of the dull autumn days to come.

12-Year-Old Boy Helps Stingray Give Birth to 12 Babies
Watching a stingray give birth is incredible; helping one is a rarity for sure!
While exploring his favorite creek, a young Australian boy had a rare encounter with a stingray. And he managed to capture it all on video.
After spotting a pregnant stingray on the creek bank, 12-year-old Miller Wilson, helped her deliver a large litter of 12 pups.
Though he makes it look easy, catching stingrays with your bare hands is not encouraged!

A page type may nominate another page type as its template. The advantage of using templates is that information can be entered once in the template page type and automatically copied to the other page types. In the default layout created for a new partition the "1 column" page type is used as a template for the other page types.
A page type inherits the following information from its template:
Information copied from the template cannot be changed. A block that has been copied from the template appears with a purple border when selected, rather than a red border. However, there are two quick ways to select the "original" block if you want to change it:
double-click the inherited block; or
press the edit button in the block details
To use a template for a page type, select the template page type from the Template field list on the Page tab. A page type that uses a template cannot itself be used as a template.
Only one level of inheritance is allowed, so a page type that uses a template may not itself be used as a template.
A template can be used for a page type with a different orientation (for example, a portrait page type can be used as a template for a landscape page type). When this happens the template blocks must be rotated by 90°. The Auto rotate field on the Page tab controls the direction of this rotation.
The following diagram shows a page type with portrait orientation being used as a template for a page type with landscape orientation. The effect of different values for the Auto rotate field are shown.

Target is taking a creative approach to help customers better understand the freshness and nutritional value of the food they are purchasing. The company has begun using an approach known as spectroscopy to scan hundreds of thousands of food items in order to understand how nutrition, freshness and other factors change over time.
"We know less about our food we eat today than at any other time in our history, period," Greg Shewmaker told StarTribue.com. Shewmaker is Founding Partner and Entrepreneur in Residence for Target, and Cofounder of "Food + Future coLAB" in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a collaboration between Target, MIT and the design firm Ideo.
Target recently conducted tests at its SuperTarget store in Edina, Minnesota, in an effort to better understand the importance of product visibility to customers. In one of the experiments aimed at studying shopper response, a handwritten sign indicated newly arrived strawberries being offered at full price, while another sign identified week-old berries at a discount of 50 cents per pound.
Two "smart" scales were also set up, where shoppers could place items, and then indicate what information for which they would like more detail, such as how many calories the item has, or whether it is organic. At some point in the future, it may be possible that customers will be able to scan items to reveal important information such as projected shelf life.
The goal of all of these efforts is to help customers make more informed food purchases. If the berries are for same-day consumption, for example, the week-old fruit might represent the best value, but if they are for a few days into the future, the new berries would obviously be a better choice.
Providing customers with the point of sale shelf life and nutritional information could well be a useful tool for building customer trust. To take a step further, providing visibility into freshness offers even more potential for building fierce customer loyalty when retailers can back up that conversation with the freshest product, supported by leading cold chain technologies, including RPCs. The superior ventilation of RPCs allows quicker cooling to help extend product life, and the rugged construction helps reduce product damage. It is important to tell your freshness story, and RPCs can help make it memorable.

Commentary: Process for Texas' education standards needs work
Where you stand on the new social studies standards adopted by the State Board of Education might depend on where you sit on the political spectrum: Did board members stand up for truth, justice and historical accuracy — or so shamefully botch the revisions as to endanger the minds of almost 5 million impressionable Texas schoolchildren?
Neither extreme is quite accurate.
But the volatile debate has been less about academic accuracy than about agendas.
Outspoken political conservatives on the board wanted the standards to reflect their beliefs that the Founding Fathers didn't want "separation of church and state," that "free enterprise" sounds less pejorative than "capitalism" and that international bodies such as the United Nations threaten U.S. sovereignty.
Hispanic and black members on the board argued that the standards were distorted and unfairly gave important historical figures of color short shrift.
It might seem a good thing that hundreds of people were exercised enough about what's being taught in Texas public schools that they wanted to give the State Board of Education their input.
But too much of the debate was driven by intemperate exaggeration. And the resulting hoopla made Texas a national spectacle.
Instead of relying on the educator panels that initially undertook the standards update, board members appointed a panel that included historical revisionists who proposed changes that weren't academically well-grounded.

OK, so this is a first for me. I'm thinking we each of us WordPress bloggers get this year end report detailing how our blog did in 2015. I thought it'd be interesting to post my results?
I think we can all agree the most important facet of reviewing these results is the opportunity to offer a heartfelt THANK YOU to any and everybody who made time to visit our blogs.
I'm grateful to you all for spending time at Obzervashunal, even if it was only a single time- it still counts!. Of course the other side of you visiting my space in 2015 is I got to visit yours too and there are some PHENOMENAL blogs in our community. (I'll be doing a post spotlighting several of these soon)
The stats are nice to check out, but at the end of the day getting to know a little about many of you is the real icing on the cake, so to speak!
So, once more- thank you and thanks to you for sharing Obzervashunal with me in 2015!

|Infobox references
2-Hydroxyestradiol (2-OHE2), also known as estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-2,3,17β-triol, is an endogenous steroid, catechol estrogen, and metabolite of estradiol, as well as a positional isomer of estriol.[1]
Transformation of estradiol to 2-hydroxyestradiol is a major metabolic pathway of estradiol in the liver.[1] CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 are the major enzymes catalyzing the 2-hydroxylation of estradiol.[1] Conversion of estradiol into 2-hydroxyestradiol has also been detected in the uterus, breast, kidney, brain, and pituitary gland, as well as the placenta, and may similarly be mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes.[1] Although estradiol is extensively converted into 2-hydroxyestradiol, circulating levels of 2-hydroxyestradiol and levels of 2-hydroxyestradiol in various tissues are very low.[1] This may be due to rapid conjugation (O-methylation, glucuronidation, sulfonation) of 2-hydroxyestradiol followed by urinary excretion.[1]
Biological activity
Estrogenic activity
2-Hydroxyestradiol has approximately 7% and 11% of the affinity of estradiol at the ERα and ERβ, respectively.[2] The steroid is only very weakly estrogenic, and is able to antagonize the estrogenic effects of estradiol, indicating that its intrinsic activity at the estrogen receptor is less than that of estradiol and hence that it possesses the profile of a selective estrogen receptor modulator.[1]
Catecholaminergic activity
2-Hydroxyestradiol is a catechol estrogen and in this regard bears some structural resemblance to the catecholamines dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline).[3] In accordance, 2-hydroxyestradiol has been found to interact with catecholamine systems.[3] The steroid is known to compete with catecholamines for binding to catechol O-methyltransferase and tyrosine hydroxylase and to directly and competitively inhibit these enzymes.[3][4] In addition, 2-hydroxyestradiol has been found to displace spiperone from the D2 receptor with approximately 50% of the affinity of dopamine, whereas estradiol, estrone, and estriol and their other 2-hydroxylated and 2-methoxylated derivatives showed only weak or negligible inhibition.[3] Moreover, 2-hydroxyestradiol has been found to bind to the α1-adrenergic receptor with slightly more than half the affinity of norepinephrine.[5] However, although these affinities are comparable to those of dopamine and norepinephrine, they are nonetheless in the double-digit micromolar range.[3][5]
2-Hydroxyestradiol has been found to increase prolactin secretion when administered intravenously to women.[6] It was noted that this could be due to 2-hydroxyestradiol binding to and antagonizing the D2 receptor.[6] However, the researchers argued against this possibility because it was delayed (by several hours) and of relatively small magnitude, whereas established D2 receptor antagonists promptly induce marked increases in prolactin levels.[6] The researchers also argued against the possibility that it was due to inhibition of dopamine biosynthesis by 2-hydroxyestradiol because 2-hydroxyestrone, which inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase similarly to 2-hydroxyestradiol, showed no such increase in prolactin secretion.[6] The researchers concluded that the most likely explanation was that the increase was mediated by the estrogenic activity of 2-hydroxyestradiol, as similar increments in prolactin levels had been observed with estradiol.[6] In any case, these findings argue against the notion of major interactions of 2-hydroxyestradiol with the dopamine system.[6]
2-Hydroxyestradiol, as well as 2-hydroxyestrone and 4-hydroxyestradiol, can undergo metabolic redox cycling to generate free radicals like superoxide and reactive estrogen semiquinone/quinone intermediates.[1] These metabolites may damage DNA and other cellular components.[1] However, 2-hydroxyestradiol shows little or no tumorigenic activity in the male Syrian hamster kidney and there is evidence that 2-hydroxyestradiol may actually decrease tumorigenesis in estrogen-sensitive tissues.[1] It has been suggested that the lack of tumorigenesis of 2-hydroxyestrone is due to its rapid clearance.[1] In addition, its metabolite 2-methoxyestradiol is a very potent inhibitor of tumor growth and angiogenesis, and this may contribute as well.[1]
Production of 2-methoxyestradiol
2-Hydroxyestradiol has been identified as a prodrug of 2-methoxyestradiol, a transformation which is very efficiently catalyzed by catechol O-methyltransferase in the liver.[7] 2-Methoxyestradiol is not estrogenic but is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor and agonist of the GPER with potential therapeutic implications in cancer.[8]
Antioxidant activity
Similarly to other steroidal estrogens, 2-hydroxyestradiol is an antioxidant, but the catechol estrogens (2- and 4-hydroxylated estrogens) like 2-hydroxyestradiol are considered to be the most potent in terms of antioxidant activity.[9]
2-Hydroxyestradiol was identified as a metabolite of estradiol in 1960.[10]

The institute added that therapies based on Prof Honjo's discovery "proved to be strikingly effective in the fight against cancer".
Allison and Tasuku Honjo have won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their pioneering work in the relatively new field of cancer immunotherapy.
"We probably have four or five patients from the early 2000's that had a life expectancy of one year who are still coming to clinic to visit us". They established a new way to fight the disease.
In 2016, after being treated with a drug inspired by Prof Honjo's research, he announced that he no longer needed treatment.
Thomas Perlmann, Secretary of the Nobel Committee of the Karolinska Institute told the news conference that he talked to Honjo over the phone just before the announcement.
More than 25,000 people in Japan have used the medicine to treat lung, stomach and other types of cancer.
"He told me, 'Thanks to you I can play golf again.'.That was a blissful moment". "That was a blissful moment". I have never been happier than that.
Allison says he didn't set out to study cancer, but to better "understand the biology of T cells, these incredible cells that travel our bodies and work to protect us". Normally, key immune system soldiers called T cells seek out and attack invaders. It permits them to recognize the cancer cells as foreign and attack them.
Allison's work, much of it done at the University of California-Berkley, changed that by proving the immune system could identify tumor cells and act against them.
Allsion studied a protein that functions as a brake on the immune system. That role partly falls to a white blood cell known as a "T cell".
Working separately, Honjo discovered another protein, called PD-1, that also hampers T cells' ability to attack cancer, but in a somewhat different way.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a number of immunotherapy treatments, with some targeting PD-1.
After taking various drugs and other options and finding no relief, Shimizu finally tried the newly-developed Opdivo.
"The professor's achievement has given rays of hope to many cancer patients", said Abe.
Also on October 1, a French photographer at the center of the scandal that led to the unprecedented postponement of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature was sentenced to two years in prison for rape. The literature prize will not be given this year because of a sexual misconduct scandal at the body that decides the award. He spoke to the Associated Press.
Allison, a professor at the University of Texas, and Honjo, a professor at Kyoto University, were in 2014 awarded the Tang Prize, touted as Asia's version of the Nobels, for their research.

We report on the first measurement of an excess in the yield of J/ψ at very low transverse momentum (pT<0.3 GeV/c) in peripheral hadronic Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV, performed by ALICE at the CERN LHC. Remarkably, the measured nuclear modification factor of J/ψ in the rapidity range 2.5<y<4 reaches about 7 (2) in the pT range 0–0.3 GeV/c in the 70%–90% (50%–70%) centrality class. The J/ψ production cross section associated with the observed excess is obtained under the hypothesis that coherent photoproduction of J/ψ is the underlying physics mechanism. If confirmed, the observation of J/ψ coherent photoproduction in Pb-Pb collisions at impact parameters smaller than twice the nuclear radius opens new theoretical and experimental challenges and opportunities. In particular, coherent photoproduction accompanying hadronic collisions may provide insight into the dynamics of photoproduction and nuclear reactions, as well as become a novel probe of the quark-gluon plasma.

BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT ONLINE @FABARBERSHOP OR VISIT https://booksy.com/en-us/135800_fa-barbershop_barber-shop_33149_kutztown
A Kutztown barber is on a mission to fade autism, one haircut at a time.
Frankel Antoine, of Kutztown, originally from Orange, N.J., created Fading Autism in 2015 while a communications studies major at Kutztown University. While a barber at City Cuts in Kutztown, he offered free haircuts to autistic children.
In August 2018, Antoine opened his own shop, Fading Autism Barbershop on Main Street in Kutztown, continuing his mission to raise awareness about autism and offer free cuts to autistic children.
Tuesday through Saturday, the barbershop is an LLC business with a Saturday $10 special from 4 to 7 p.m. On Sundays, the shop functions as a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization.
"We definitely keep the barbershop separate from the mission but it's cool to educate families when they come in here. They may not know about autism. Even when I'm cutting town folk's hair, it's an opportunity to educate every day," said Antoine.
A licensed barber at City Cuts Barbershop in Kutztown since 2012, he began offering free cuts to autistic children during closed hours once a week when the shop was quiet. As Fading Autism grew, Antoine wanted to help more autistic children so he opened his own barbershop to continue his dream. He now serves more than 100 families in Berks and Pike counties and can offer free haircuts to a maximum of six families every Sunday.
Each family gets one hour of time while the shop is closed to the public. Families can book an appointment at www.fadingautism.org. They fill out a survey including age, hobbies, favorite TV show and level of the autism spectrum.
Much of the hour is spent getting the client comfortable, especially for those with sensory sensitivity. For example, before even starting the cut, Antoine does combing exercises.
"Just getting them ready that someone is going to be touching their head," he said. "Most of the time the haircut is not even done in the barber chair… because it might be more comfortable for them elsewhere (like at the water station or in front of the TV). I try to make it comfortable."
Much of his autism experience and knowledge comes from growing up with his brother Amos, who was born on the lowest of the autism spectrum and is non-verbal.
"Growing up I noticed how difficult it would be for my Mom to give him a haircut. We would go to the barbershop and you could feel it in the air 'I'm not wanted.' Or you'll see that someone skipped you and that's how you get the idea, this barber doesn't want to cut my hair. So growing up and experiencing that, that's how I got started cutting my brother's hair, feeling unwanted at other barbershops," said Antoine. "I figured if I could give my brother a haircut, who is 6 foot 5, I figured I can give everybody like him a haircut. That's how Fading Autism got started. I deal a lot with kids but I also give haircuts to adults."
Fading Autism aims to connect with the Kutztown community. Antoine is a member of the Kutztown Optimist Club.
"They help sponsor my events and I help sponsor their events," said Antoine. "When they have events, I'll have a table there and funds will be donated to Fading Autism… That's some ways that I'm connecting with the community."
As a small business owner, he tries to keep it local by going to other local businesses for his needs.
"It's all about supporting one another around town. Kutztown is one of the only towns where it feels like a community."
Fading Autism also works with KU fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha, who are helping with fundraising and autism awareness events. They will be incorporating autism awareness at the Miss Kutztown event held at Schaeffer Auditorium at 7 p.m. on April 17.
As a KU alumnus, Antoine also wants to serve as a model for KU students by showing how he used his communications studies and his capstone project on autism awareness to create Fading Autism and unite that with his hobby of cutting hair.
"It's okay to dream and also question how you are going to relate your degree into something that you want to do. If you can combine your dream and make a living, what better way of life is that?" he said. "It all started as a hobby. I was cutting hair in Bonner Hall my freshman year in 2010. Here I am now almost 10 years later with my own barbershop and I'm on a mission."
His goal is to instill the Fading Autism concept across the country at other barbershops.
"I'm starting at home, I'm starting in Kutztown and I do hope we can spread this. Other barbershops might be inspired to start Fading Autism in their barbershops as well."

Royden goes to China
av Emelie James
I don't bother writing this entry in both Swedish and English, so English it is.
Royden goes to China today, he's busy boarding the plane as I type. He'll be back on Saturday, just in time for the babyshower, if everything goes well. Last time he came back one day late due to delays and what not. I hope nothing like that will happen this time.
We finished off the baby room today. Or, Royden finished painting while I was busy being dizzy on the couch. Anywho, the baby room is now white instead of chocolate and terra cotta colored and the furniture are in place. It looks so big and airy now without all the tools and rubbish. He also put our new bedroom lights up – it looks fantastic.
It will, however, be hard to be on my own this week. I'm gonna try and keep busy with all kinds of artsy stuff, and also preparing for Saturday. We'll see how that goes.
I'm now in my way back from town, I came with to see Royden off by the airport express train. Both of us were probably trying to look as though this is nothing to worry about and that he'll be back before we know it. How gullible adults can be sometimes. I'll try and stay up later than I usually do tonight so that I fall asleep quickly. I don't want to be alone in our big bed for longer than I have to.
I'm gonna miss you, love. It aches already.

Tons of potential in this one great work
Tons of potential in this one great work
Has potential as an FPS but rather boring due to the fact that one shot will take out every single enemy in that direction. Need to correct the aiming coding to only shoot the enemy being targeted.
It was entertaining for a little while. Although the sound effects seem misplaced, it's not a bad one-time play.
This is really, really bad, the animations are horrific, the enemies are quite weak and the levels are the same!
Half a star for effort

Development of Methods to Evaluate Side Impacts for Next Edition MASH
Each year, roadway departure crashes in the United States result in serious injuries and fatalities. Between 2012-2014, the average number of fatalities per year resulting from roadway departure crashes was 18,355. (Source: Fatal Analysis Reporting System, NHTSA). Side impacts of vehicles into roadside hardware are a growing public safety problem. In particular, side impacts with guardrail account for 22 percent of fatalities in passenger vehicle-guardrail crashes (Source: Gabler and Gabauer, 2007). The occupant of a passenger vehicle that side impacts a guardrail has a 30 percent higher probability of being fatally injured than the occupant of a car involved in a frontal impact into a guardrail. Many roadside safety features (e.g., terminals, guardrail end treatments, crash cushions, and luminaire and sign supports) are designed to break away under the loads which are typical of a frontal impact. However, side impacts by non-tracking vehicles may not have enough force to engage the breakaway mechanisms of these features. Because the side of a vehicle, unlike the front, has less structure and crumple zone, side impacts can result in especially severe injuries. To date, however, no substantive improvements have been made to the performance of roadside safety features during vehicle side impacts. NCHRP Report 350 provided side impact test and evaluation procedures for informational purposes; however, there are no recommendations or requirements for side impact crash testing of roadside hardware. More recently, the NCHRP Report 350 appendix for side impact test and evaluation procedures was not included in the AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) crash test procedures. Little is known about how Report 350- or MASH- compliant hardware performs in side impact crashes. No research to date has developed a comprehensive approach for evaluating roadside hardware under side impact conditions. The development of methods for evaluating these crashes would lead to improvements in roadside safety hardware and improved safety of the motoring public. Results of this research will enable transportation agencies to set and evaluate its level of safety risk and use quantitative information in the decision-making process. The objectives of this research are to develop recommended test procedures considering critical Test Level 3 vehicles to effectively measure vehicle side impacts, and validate/verify the test procedures. This research shall focus on terminals; however, additional roadside safety devices should also be identified and considered. A combination of vehicle simulation and testing, such as, but not limited to, full scale, or pendulum testing is envisioned as part of this research. The research results are intended for inclusion as a new chapter or supplement in a future edition of the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). The research results will also include recommendations for future edition enhancements of the Roadside Design Guide (RDG).

Pakistan's Trespass at LOC: Is 'Kargil Plan 2.0' Underway?
28 Feb, 2013 · 3829
J. Jeganaathan explores the possibility of an ulterior Pakistani strategy behind the recent tensions along the Line of Control (LoC)
J JeganaathanResearch Fellow
The recent tension on the Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan signal the resumption of dormant tension in Indo-Pak relations and there is a growing concern that the relations are now back to square one. Although, public anger in India against Pakistan's act along the LOC has decimated, but the answer to the question why this incident recurred despite attempts at reconciliation remains elusive to observers of Pakistan.
A recent intelligence report, based on the interception of satellite communication leaked to Indian media, reveals a detailed account of how the entire operation was planned and executed meticulously. It claimed that the Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) planned the operation with the support of Lakshar-e-Toiba (LeT) cadres in order to felicitate their intrusion into the Indian Territory. For the first time, the names of the perpetrators were disclosed.
Strategic Crossroads
While Pakistan prepares for a transfer of power this year, its strategic direction remains quite ambiguous. At the domestic level, the struggle for power is at an all time high in all institutions. The tenure of the Prime Minister, who was ordered to be put under arrest, ends by March as does as the tenure of the Chief Justice (ending in September 2013) who ordered the arrest. The traditional rivalry between military and civilian authorities has further blurred the strategic direction in which Pakistan should be heading. Both the army chief and the President are also demitting their office this year. Political struggle, not only across the parties rather, between the army, judiciary and legislature, therefore, seems inevitable. At the same time the Pakistani army is in face-saving mode, in the aftermath of the Abbottabad incident.
It is obvious that the recent skirmishes at LoC were a reflection of this domestic crisis that compelled the Pakistan establishment to revive its traditional hostility with India. Strategically, Pakistan is at a crossroads, confronting an unfavourable security environment. For instance, its conventional security policy of gaining 'strategic depth' towards the west has been circumscribed by the US presence in Afghanistan. And, its customary approach to seek a 'strategic superiority' towards the east through Kashmir has been dormant since the 2003 ceasefire agreement with India. Moreover, there is a growing realisation within Pakistan today that most major challenges for its existence are emanating from the west in the form of Talibanisation.
Kindling Kashmir
In order to assuage the domestic crisis and to restore the public faith in state machinery, Pakistan has been left with no option but to revive the perennial hostility with India by rekindling the Kashmir issue. The main reason, perhaps, could be the urge to retain its strategic significance or relevance to the US owing to the diminished scope of regaining strategic depth in Afghanistan. As part of this strategic shift, Pakistan raised the Kashmir issue in the last United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) general debate held in September 2012 after a gap of four years. Since Pakistan has assumed the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) rotating presidency as a non-permanent member from January 2013, it is set to use this opportunity to bring back the Kashmir issue to the UN list of priorities. As a matter of fact, India had seconded Pakistan's candidature for this post, which is now proving inimical to its own interest.
Nevertheless, Pakistan's intentions do not seem genuine in terms of finding a solution to the Kashmir issue. Rather, its actions are sparked by new geostrategic twists. The Indian domination of all the key heights of the Siachen glacier including the Saltoro Ridge threatens the 'old Silk Route' or the Karakoram Highway connecting Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan occupied Kashmir to Kashgar, a city in the Xinjiang region of China. China has promised Pakistan to construct the logistical route from the Gilgit-Baltistan to Gwadar. It appears that Pakistan's objective in Kashmir has been reduced to 'only demilitarisation of Siachen by India' because of these new geostrategic compulsions as outlined above and the China factor, which sought to revive the 'old Silk Route' by building the Karakoram Highway.
On the other hand, an unfriendly Afghanistan has obscured Pakistan's trade and economic interests in Central Asia, which has been then naturally pushed towards India. Although Indo-Pak trade relations, which have improved dramatically since 2003, are seen as a potential area of mutual cooperation, Pakistan is cautious as well as anxious about the growing economic interdependency with India. Thus, the geo-economic interests of Pakistan, driven by the dynamics of the geopolitical situation in the region, are inducing it to negotiate the demilitarisation of Siachen glacier with India, by hook or by crook.
Even the K.Subhramanyam report on Kargil War observes that the 'Kargil Plan' of the Pakistani army was to force India to demilitarise Siachen by cutting off its supply routes. Lt.Gen. Paranaik has also averred that Kargil happened because of Siachen (note: India hardened its stand on Siachen in 1998). If that is true, then the recent incident at the LoC unveils Pakistan's 'Kargil Plan 2.0' as a result of India's reluctance to negotiate on Siachen.

My childminding service was twice awarded the highest grade of Outstanding, and I have many excellent references which are available for viewing. I am also pleased to email a copy of my last Ofsted inspection report to all parents who contact me.
I ski myself and am a mother of four grown-up children. I also speak Bulgarian and French, and have a level 5 TEFL qualification to teach English as a foreign language.

Marshfield Fair organizers remained positive despite closing the fairgrounds Monday because of rain.
Rain is becoming as common as cotton candy, amusement rides and animals at the Marshfield Fair.
For the second straight year, organizers canceled one day of the annual summer tradition because of inclement weather.
Fair officials decided to close by early afternoon Monday as a steady rain soaked the entire South Shore.
"It's not fair to the public to open with adverse conditions," said Leonard LaForest, the fair's president. "There'd be some vendors that probably wouldn't show up and some rides wouldn't be running because of safety reasons."
Unlike last year, when the fair's second Saturday was a washout, Monday's closure left fairgoers with many more opportunities to visit, LaForest said.
"Any day you lose hurts your overall attendance," he said, "but it's early in the week, so hopefully people who planned on coming will reschedule their plans for later in the week."
Organizers hope to reschedule most of the performances and activities, LaForest said.
Former American Idol contestant Ayla Brown's performance has been moved to 5 p.m. Saturday while the Figure 8 Demolition Derby has been postponed to 2 p.m. Saturday.
Showers were expected through Wednesday, but sunny skies should return by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
Although it is too soon to determine the rain's impact on revenue, only one-third of fair visitors historically attend on weekdays, LaForest said.
"Monday's are generally one of our slower days so I'm hoping the overall impact is minimal," he said.
Last year's rainy Saturday was a major contributor to a 12-15 percent drop in attendance.
Rainy days are also costly for vendors such as Anna Flynn, who pays about $720 per night to keep nine workers in a hotel.
But, Flynn, of Marshfield, who has run a fried dough stand at the fair for 40 years, remained confident since sales were strong over the weekend.
"No fair is beautiful for 10 days," Flynn said. "As long as we have good weather on the weekends, we will be all right."

Nostalgia Classic Cars opened its doors this weekend to offer visitors a detailed look into the world of classic cars. The Classic car culture scene is somewhat in its infancy here in comparison to the rest of the world. Mazin Al Khatib, founder at Nostalgia Classic Cars, wants more people to get into classic cars, and explained that purchasing a classic car doesn't mean you need to be millionaire. But should you ever want to buy a classic car, there are very few places to even begin with, which is where Nostalgia Classic Cars comes in.
Mazin has helped two customers in the past year to find their perfect classic car. The company helps to arrange vehicle registration, and can also do any restoration work along with after-sales services, all under one roof. Their restoration workshop is a 500 square meters space that provides restoration, rebuilding and maintenance services. It's located right next to their 1,000 square meter showroom which features over 35 cars on display (ranging from $50,000 - $100,000) for visitors to admire. Or if you fancy purchasing one of the vehicles on display, that can also be arranged. Mazin also said the space is available to host events, and also features a lounge and library where you can sit back and read up on all aspects of the classic car industry.
It's definitely a very interesting concept and worth checking out if you're a fellow automotive enthusiast. You might also just want to get into collecting cars from a financial standpoint, considering some classic cars increase in value over the years and can diversify your investment portfolio. Either way, make sure you stop by Nostalgia Classic Cars to check out some of the gorgeous classic cars on display.

Tammy Lawrence, a 5th grade teacher at Syracuse Arts Academy, can always make her students smile, she even make math fun. Quite the challenge indeed. Mrs Lawrence "has treated every student fairly by including everyone into everything. Whenever we did class activities, she would always look around the room and check to see if everyone was included. If you weren't included in school activities, she would talk to you after the school day was over and she would take time out of her day to find ways to fix it." says Lila Wilson and Aiden Pullam, students of Mrs Lawrence.
They go on to say: "if you ever missed a school day she always grabbed all of the school work you missed and gave it to you personally. Then she explained what you missed during school."
Mrs. Lawrence receives a special recognition award from Zions Bank, an overnight stay at the Anniversary Inn, dinner for two at the Roof Restaurant downtown, and two season passes to the Hale Center Theater. At the end of the year, one lucky teacher will win the lease of a new car provided by Burt Bros. Tire and Service.
KSL NewsRadio and Zions Bank are proud to honor Utah's best teachers with the KSL Teacher Feature Awards! Since 1994, Teacher Feature has highlighted outstanding teachers throughout the State of Utah. Winning teachers are announced every Tuesday morning, September through June, on Utah's Morning News with Brian & Amanda.

The Lost Village is the second adventure I played with my son using the Heroes of Hesiod rules. This time he decided to bring three adventurers along: a bomb-throwing tinkerer, a paladin, and a druid. The adventure revolves around solving the mystery around the disappearance of an entire village. The adventure begins with a choice as to how to travel to the town, by water (an action-oriented challenge) or by land (combat). My son chose water, skipping the bandit combat encounter.
Once at the village, the next step is to find tracks – this is the answer to most of the scenario, as there aren't really any clues to find beyond this. The meat of the adventure takes place within a cave, which is secretly led by a fringe cult of lizardfolk. My son's adventurers avoided the pit trap and took out the guards, making their way to a prison cell. There, they had the opportunity to sneak past more guards, but the adventurers failed and ended up alerting them while trying to sneak over to the keys. After defeating the second set of guards, they freed the humans and discovered a lizardfolk in a separate cell who didn't share the same beliefs of the evil lizardfolk. Finally, a role-playing opportunity!
My son released the lizardfolk, whom I named Calactyte after my brother's lizardfolk character, and Calactyte promised to lead the human prisoners to freedom. The prisoners were not okay with this, so I left it to my son to convince them that Calactyte was a good guy. After some role-playing he convinced them and they left, leaving the adventurers to deal with the lizardfolk lead cultist.
This final battle was epic, as the shaman, a lizardfolk warrior, and two archers ambushed the party. Once again they were barely victorious, with two of the adventurers down by the end. Calactyte returned at the last minute to assist and promised to lead the restore peace to the lizardfolk clan.
Overall, this adventure was a lot of fun, featuring both an interesting role-playing dilemma for the kids as well as thrilling combat.

Meera to sue for film on her life
Indian director Param Gill's Rockin' Meera is tipped to be based on the Pakistani actress' life.india Updated: Jun 01, 2006 18:57 IST
Pakistani actress Meera is likely to take legal action against director Param Gill, who is making Rockin' Meera, a film based on her life with Nauheed Cyrusi in the lead role.
Meera's publicist and spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar has filed a complaint on her behalf with the Association of Motion Pictures and Television Programme Producers (AMPTPP).
He has requested the authorities to look into the matter and arrange for a special show for Meera before permitting public screening.
"Initially we thought the name of the film being the same as the actress was coincidental. But with reports about the film having similarities to her real life, we became skeptical. If there are any sequences in the film which resemble Meera's life then the makers will have to take permission for the same," Bhagwagar said.
"Meera is in Pakistan right now and is expected to return to Mumbai in the first week of July. If the news is true, she will take legal recourse," he added.
Rockin' Meera stars a host of Indian and US actors, including Sonu Sood, US-based rapper Terrance Quaites (TQ), Debra Wilson, Fatso Fasano, Nicole Cherie Saletta, Sayaji Shinde and Sachin Khedekar.
Earlier, the film found itself in trouble when a unit member misbehaved with actress Nandana Sen, who walked out of the film.

If you have never had to contact Foxtel customer support I envy you. I have been using Foxtel on and off for about 5 years. Originally I used the a service through the satellite dish and signed up for two years but disappointed with the service I never renewed. When the NBN was connected I have used Foxtel Play and Foxtel Now on occasion.
Over the 5 years I have never had a good experience with customer support. On ProductReview Foxtel gets 988 terrible ratings to 33 excellent. It only rates another 48 for good. Too make it worse they don't even respond to the negative entries. One of the recent entries shows someone who found out he was paying for two services. I had the same thing. The signup failed but I was concerned it had gone through. Customer support assured me it didn't and to re-sign up. So I did. It took 9 months before it I picked it up. I hadn't been using Foxtel for many months when I noticed the fees. They did refund but it took some work.
The worst part of Customer Support is the lack of knowledge and the frequent lying. On many occasions I have become tired of the agent running back to their supervisor constantly and when I ask to speak directly they state they don't have a supervisor.
Today my movie subscription was cancelled even though I am paid up for another two weeks. Accounts couldn't help and put me through to technical support where I spent around 30 minutes of the agent running back to their supervisor and bring back several scenarios. Number one was that Foxtel Now cuts out your package as soon as you change it rather than at the end of the month. It has never occured before and sounds suss but I have taken it all the way to Foxtel Corporate as no-one knows. The second scenario was that Foxtel have cut out the Movie package and that's why it was cancelled. I explained that was blatantly untrue and she admitted it. She then refused to get a supervisor.
Foxtel must know how bad their service is. I can't even find a contact number on their site anymore. Foxtel Now has made major improvements but then they let it down with what I can only call a don't give a stuff attitude to paying customers. It's definitely back to Netflix and Stan.

Manchester City could have an opportunity to sign a target of the two previous summer transfer windows, with Spain's second-most read newspaper El Pais reporting that Kylian Mbappé could leave Paris Saint-Germain.
Mbappé, who City made attempts to sign in 2016 and 2017, is technically on loan from Monaco to PSG, but the Ligue 1 champions elect have an obligation to buy him. And it is reported that the prodigious 19-year-old could leave Parc des Princes after just one season.
In a story that sounds hard to believe on paper, but is very detailed and insightful, journalist Diego Torres states that PSG chiefs have begun to consider selling Mbappé in order to satisfy football's most expensive player, Neymar, who has let it be known through 'third parties' that he does not feel comfortable with his attack partner.
A source close to the French club said a member of the technical team received this information and relayed it to club president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, last week.
The official proposed a maneuver in order to keep Neymar happy in Paris: offer Mbappé to Barcelona in exchange for money and their own new boy Coutinho, who Neymar calls "brother" and considers his best friend in football.
It isn't just Barcelona interested in Mbappé though, with Manchester City named as the other club monitoring the situation and expressing an interest in signing him. City made an offer to Monaco for Mbappé when he had just a handful of first-team appearances to his name, then went back for him last year but he opted for Paris.
El Pais claims that two separate sources at PSG, with access to training sessions and behind the scenes activities, say there have been tensions between Neymar and Mbappé since October, with Neymar said to be concerned that the French wonderkid could eclipse him and edge him to the Golden Ball in future.
When PSG played Dijon on January 17, Neymar visibly stopped passing the ball to Mbappé, and on February 10 in their narrow win over Toulouse, Mbappé made 'three perfect decoys' and Neymar denied him the ball. In the last minute of the game, PSG had a counter attack, during which Neymar had the opportunity to put Mbappé alone against the goalkeeper, but retained then lost the ball.
Then at the Bernabéu on February 14, when PSG lost 3-1 to Real Madrid, Neymar's compatriot Dani Alves took 71 minutes to give Mbappé the ball in the final third, with those close to Mbappé suspecting he was acting on the orders of Neymar.
PSG would prefer not to sell Mbappé, but if this situation escalates and Neymar tries to manufacture a sale, then it is said that both Man City and Barcelona will be waiting at the door, because the Parisiens will do anything to keep their poster boy happy.
Agents close to the situation believe any deal for Mbappé would cost up to €300million (£263.4million). City are typically not inclined to pay such figures for a single player, but some might argue that Mbappé, along with midfielder Fred, could be the final pieces of Pep Guardiola's jigsaw.

La Plata Peak
The Front Range has experienced an unusually warm June, so I attempted to beat the heat by searching for higher ground. As a day trip, La Plata is an easy class 2 climb accessible off of Highway 82, southwest of Leadville. The mountain was originally named for the silver mines that once operated in the area. The trail begins by following La Plata Gulch with a few stream crossings, but quickly leaves tree line by a series of switchbacks. Snow on the peak could be avoided, but provided a respite from the hot weather and a little fun for self-arresting! Penny was not slowed down by her pack, or a little off trail scrambling, and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

WorkSafe New Zealand reminded workers and businesses to be proactive in their noise control system at work.
WorkSafe recently visited an engineering company which, through its health and safety committee, takes a proactive approach to ensuring the safety of its workers.
"After twenty-five years of senior management, I have witnessed many workplace incidents, and almost all were preventable," said Metco Engineering's Mark O'Donnell.
"At Metco, I've given our (health and safety) committee the power to make changes in the business. If there is a good reason, we'll do it because for Metco health and safety is of paramount importance."
"As a result of management and committee suggestions we recently modified our press machines to reduce noise. We ground shear angles onto the cutting faces of the press tool punches, reducing noise.
"We've also put vibration pads beneath most of our industrial machines. These large pads reduce the noise, and they have the added advantage of cutting out vibrations, another health risk to our staff."
For machines that cannot be directly quietened, sound-reducing boxes were built and these have dropped the noise levels by up to 60 percent for those machines.
"Staff who took an active role in the noise reduction programme couldn't believe they were working beside the same machines," said Mr. O'Donnell.
"We've managed to drop the noise by over 30 percent on the manufacturing floor which has made the environment better for our entire business – on the shop floor and in the office."
WorkSafe's construction sector lead, Vadim Spice said sustained workplace noise increases stress and can lead to a drop in productivity.
"It is encouraging to see innovative products, such as acoustic mats for construction sites, starting to appear as businesses realise they need to better manage the risks from noise," said Vadim.
"The real gains will come when businesses consider noise at the time of planning. Installing quieter machines, or designing ways to control noise at the very beginning, reduces the need to rely on workers using the less effective administrative controls, such as earmuffs."
Hazardous noise in the workplace can make working safely difficult. By managing the risks associated with noise, businesses can protect workers from hearing loss and create a less stressful and more productive work environment.

SEOUL, South Korea — President Moon Jae-in of South Korea told President Trump on Thursday that he planned to send a special envoy to North Korea as part of his effort to broker talks between the United States and the North on ending its nuclear weapons program.
President Moon's office said he talked with Mr. Trump on the phone on Thursday to discuss joint strategies, based upon the discussions Mr. Moon and his aides have held with senior North Korean officials who visited the South last month to attend the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics in Pyeongchang.
"The two heads of state agreed to keep the momentum in South-North Korean dialogue and continue efforts to use it to lead to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," Mr. Moon's office said in a statement. "To that end, President Moon notified President Trump that his government will soon send a special envoy to the North to confirm the discussions it has held with the high-level North Korean delegates."
By sending a special envoy to North Korea, Mr. Moon was also reciprocating the visit to the South by Kim Yo-jong, the sister and trusted aide of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, it said. Mr. Kim sent his sister to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympics last month and to deliver his invitation to Mr. Moon to visit the North for an inter-Korean summit meeting.
Mr. Kim sent another high-level delegation, led by his former spy chief, Kim Yong-chol, to attend the closing ceremony on Sunday. The delegates told Mr. Moon that North Korea was willing to start talks with Washington, although it remained unclear whether it was ready to discuss denuclearization, as Washington has demanded.
Mr. Moon is eager to use the diplomatic opening created by the Olympics and the visits of the North Korean envoys to help arrange for the United States and North Korea to sit down for talks, as well as to improve inter-Korean relations.
His immediate challenge is how to narrow the wide gap between the United States and North Korea over the terms under which they would start a dialogue.
North Korea says it will not bargain away its nuclear weapons, and it insists that the United States first recognize it as a nuclear power. Only then, the North Koreans say, will they sit down with American officials to discuss mutual arms reduction on the Korean Peninsula.
On Monday, Mr. Trump said the Americans "want to talk also" — but "only under the right conditions." "Otherwise," he said, "we're not talking."
That has been the consistent American stance since the administration of President Barack Obama, although Mr. Trump, unlike Mr. Obama, has openly threatened to use military force to end the nuclear crisis. For its part, North Korea drastically escalated the stakes by conducting its sixth and most powerful nuclear test and test-firing intercontinental ballistic missiles last year.
Washington insists that it is not interested in talks unless they deal with denuclearizing the North. United States officials say the North has failed to abide by agreements in past negotiations, and they demand that the North first show its sincerity before talks can start.
Mr. Moon has said that if North Korea announced a freeze in its nuclear and missile tests, it would help start talks between the North and the United States.
But even if North Korea agrees to such a freeze, it is widely expected to demand that the United States reciprocate, perhaps by suspending its annual joint military exercises with South Korea, analysts said. It remains unclear whether Mr. Trump is ready to offer such a concession. Mr. Moon's government says that the allies will announce their plans regarding the joint war games after the Paralympics end in Pyeongchang on March 18.
Mr. Moon has urged the United States and North Korea to soften their uncompromising stances so that talks could start on defusing the crisis, which appeared to push the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war in the past year.
"The United States needs to lower the threshold for dialogue, and North Korea should express a willingness to denuclearize," Mr. Moon said on Monday.
Mr. Moon, a longtime proponent of reconciliation with North Korea, wants to accept Kim Jong-un's proposal for an early summit meeting to improve ties and further lower tensions, analysts have said. But to make his inter-Korean agenda sustainable, Mr. Moon needs the United States and North Korea to make progress in denuclearization talks.

DescriptionPax Solaris is a strategy game set in space. On a overhead stellar map the player sees a lot of stars - and the goal is to conquer them all. Some stars are connected with lines which means that ships can travel between this stars. Basically all the player has to do is to tell his ships where to move next respectively what to attack next. More precisely the movement orders aren't issued to the individual ships but to the stars itself. The player simply has to drag a line between the stars and every ship that passes it automatically goes in its direction until the order is cancelled.
Every star produces new ships at a steady rate and a big art of the game is to figure out where to move them. The game is basically in real-time but in the single player mode there is a pause button. The fights are calculated automatically.
The hot seat multiplayer mode is special because is is a mixture between real-time and turn-based. The game itself is still in real-time but the players alternate. This means every player has a certain time frame where he can change his commands; then the the next one and so on. The AI takes over for all player who are not playing at the moment and tries to act accordingly to there past orders.
