What Attracts Mold in North Miami Beach, FL?
Areas in your house or office that provide a food and water source do an excellent job of attracting mold. You will find mold growing behind the surface of your walls because the wood provides it with a good source of nutrients, and this also is commonly a damper area. Mold can also be attracted to homes and offices that have fallen victim to flooding. Leaky pipes and ceilings also team up to allow mold to grow inside of your North Miami Beach, FL home or company. If you reside in a higher humidity area, you will also be more vunerable to mold in your home or office.
What Health Issues can Mold Trigger in North Miami Beach, FL?
Mold can lead to some pretty serious health problems in addition to the property damage it can lead to. The mold spores may become airborne fairly easily, which allow them to get inside of ventilation systems or be inhaled by occupants in your home or business. Respiratory issues are among the biggest health concerns linked with mold. Mold may cause numerous respiratory illnesses, and it can even lead to fatality in some cases. Black mold removal needs to be completed as soon as possible due to the aforementioned hazards.

In order for a cellphone to work, it has to be able to connect to a nearby tower, which means that every once in a while it'll send out a message saying "Hello! I'm [cellphone whatever]!" for the nearest tower to pick up. The granularity, the accuracy of the location, will vary, with cities having many towers and lots of very small cells, and the countryside having fewer, larger cells. It can't tell where you are to within a cell with any degree of accuracy.
Still, such location finding is extremely useful if someone rings the emergency services on a mobile and then hangs up before giving a location. They can phone the mobile provider and get them to divulge the location of the cellphone, and send out, for example, an ambulance. Which is handy. Admittedly a bit creepy, but that's sort of the way they have to work.
As with the location data, government services have no direct access to stuff like text messages and call data, having to go through the cellphone provider if they feel they must. They don't hack your phone, so being in airplane mode won't help, they just ask the provider politely. They certainly can't (as far as we know) pluck messages and phone calls out of the air in real time; they're quite well encrypted.
GPS connections, too, can log your location to within a few feet, but only if GPS is turned on in your phone. I'm not sure whether that would be logged somewhere externally, though, or just on the device in question. Certain cloud apps like Google Tracks log locations completely openly (that's the point of the app), but others may not.
GPS logging data has been successfully used in court when a plaintiff insisted he was nowhere near the scene of the crime of which he was accused, and presented such logs from his car GPS as evidence to prove he'd been in another city at the time. It doesn't always have to be creepy and work against you.
I suppose it is possible to upload malware to someone's phone (you'd probably need physical access, I doubt you could do it wirelessly) which would turn on GPS and upload your movements to an external source, but that's pretty much illegal at that point, by all metrics.

FAA Certifies Google's Wing Drone Delivery Company to Operate as Airline
by Bill Chappell, NPR Online
The Federal Aviation Administration has certified Alphabet's Wing Aviation to operate as an airline, in a first for U.S. drone delivery companies. Wing, which began as a Google X project, has been testing its autonomous drones in southwest Virginia and elsewhere.
"Air Carrier Certification means that we can begin a commercial service delivering goods from local businesses to homes in the United States," Wing said in a statement posted to the Medium website.
The company has touted many advantages of using unmanned drones to deliver packages, from reducing carbon emissions and road congestion to increasing connections between communities and local businesses.
"This is an important step forward for the safe testing and integration of drones into our economy. Safety continues to be our Number One priority as this technology continues to develop and realize its full potential," Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao said in a statement from the agency.
The FAA said Wing earned its air carrier certificate because it has shown "its operations met the FAA's rigorous safety requirements." Wing's electric drones fly using 14 mostly top-mounted propellers, and can carry payloads up to a maximum of 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds). Wing hopes to expand its southwest Virginia delivery area later this year; it also plans to launch a European trial in Helsinki, Finland. Read full report.
DCL: Has to be a lot of CEP in the guidance and logistics of these drones. However I suspect we are going to get just as much chaos in the air as we now have on the ground! What do they do if nobody's at home when they arrive with a delivery? Perhaps the homeowner has to have a landing pad on their roof or front lawn? The article leaves a lot to be answered!

The petitioner appeals from the dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on September 25, 1979. G. L. c. 248, Sections 1, 25. Cf. Mass. R. Crim. P. 30 (a), 378 Mass. 900 (effective July 1, 1979). We transferred the appeal here on our own motion. In March, 1971, the petitioner was sentenced to a term of fifteen to twenty years at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Walpole (M.C.I., Walpole) for armed robbery. On October 1, 1975, while on "escape" status from M.C.I., Walpole, the petitioner was arrested and charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm. The petitioner was held at the Charles Street jail pending trial. On January 28, 1976, he was convicted and sentenced to M.C.I., Walpole, for a term of four to five years to "take effect from and after the expiration of sentence said defendant is presently serving." Under petitioner's construction of the effect of these sentences, he was entitled to be discharged from custody as of September 11, 1978, in so far as he was being held under the second sentence.
The respondent contends that the petition for habeas corpus does not lie because alternative appellate remedies were open to the petitioner under G. L. c. 278, Section 28A. We need not consider the question whether Section 28A is applicable to the petitioner's claim, as the remedy of habeas corpus is available as of right to one unlawfully imprisoned or restrained. Beaton, petitioner, 354 Mass. 670 (1968). An appeal properly lies from a judgment of dismissal. Stearns, petitioner, 343 Mass. 53 (1961). Cf. Mass. R. Crim. P. 30 (c) (8), 378 Mass. 902 (effective July 1, 1979).
The petitioner contends that the four-to five-year sentence. should run concurrently with the fifteen- to twenty-year sentence. The respondent has computed the petitioner's parole eligibility date on the assumption that the two sentences are to run consecutively. The petitioner's premise is that because he was on escape status at the time of the disposition of the firearms charge, he was not "presently serving" any sentence. See Harding v. State Bd. of Parole, 307 Mass. 217 , 220 (1940); Kinney, petitioner, 5 Mass. App. Ct. 457 , 459-460 (1977). He therefore concludes that the four- to five-year sentence should not commence after the date of the unexpired armed robbery sentence.
The authority of the judge to impose a sentence to be served consecutively to a previously imposed, unexpired sentence, even if the petitioner
Page 778
is not then serving that previously imposed sentence, is unquestioned. See Henschel v. Commissioner of Correction, 368 Mass. 130 , 133 (1975). It was clearly the intent of the sentencing judge--as indicated by the phrase "from and after the expiration of the sentence" -- to impose consecutive sentences. Cf. G. L. c. 279, Section 8A. The fifteen- to twenty-year sentence was the only previously imposed, unexpired sentence to which the petitioner was subject. Therefore, the respondent is correct in his conclusion that the two sentences should run consecutively. [Note 1]
Judgment of dismissal affirmed.
[Note 1] The record is silent as to whether a conviction for the "escape" was obtained; nor do the parties address this issue. Consequently, we do not consider the effect, if any, of a sentence on such a conviction.

Teen Leadership Skills – Learning About the Qualities of a Leader
What makes leaders stand out, and how can teens learn about them?
For teens to develop into successful leaders, it is important to learn everything that goes into effective leadership. Therefore, qualities of leadership are essential for teens to study.
Leaders Share the Same Attributes
Just as there are different types of personalities, there are different kinds of leaders. However, they tend to share the same attributes in general, which have helped them become successful.
These leadership qualities have helped them to have a positive effect on people, accomplish goals, inspire others, build team chemistry, gain support for ideas, make decisions, build trust, and handle responsibilities, among other results. Some of the primary qualities leaders have in common include character, vision, focus, and persistence.
Character Building
Character is important for teens to learn about, as leaders must possess this trait in order to gain the trust and respect of others. To build a solid reputation requires a certain degree of integrity and strength, and these are developed over time. It is embodied in standards, and one company motto gave a good example of it saying "We Stand Behind Everything We Sell."
The Importance of Having Vision
Teens must also learn the leadership skill of creating a vision – the ability to see a possible outcome from setting plans in motion. Leaders need to have vision in order to communicate to and motivate people to attain accomplishments that they may not have thought were possible or had not even considered working toward. An example of someone with great vision is Bill Gates, who created and developed Microsoft.
Keeping Your Focus
Focus is also a leadership skill. It allows someone to set aside distractions, and concentrate on priorities and the task at hand. It is an important trait for teens to learn, as they deal with many distractions in their lives. With focus, a person and his or her team can reach their goals in spite of difficulties or problems.
This is necessary in any area, including companies and governments. An individual with great focus is Michael Jordan, who won multiple basketball championships, and willed his team to win by making those difficult last second shots.
Persistence is Key
Another essential leadership skill for effective leaders is persistence, and training in this quality would benefit all teens. The saying goes, "Nothing great was ever accomplished without persistence." It is the ability to continue working on a mission or goal until it is achieved, regardless of obstacles or setbacks. This quality is needed for leaders who all experience challenges in their work.
Prime examples of persistence include Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb after 1,000 failures, and Abraham Lincoln, who became President after several defeats and personal difficulties.
Developing Qualities is a Process
Learning about leadership qualities is an important aspect of leadership training that can benefit teens. Leaders share common traits, and to find out about them allows teens to work on those attributes themselves. Teens can research different leaders, and find and model their positive traits. In doing so, they will be on the path of good leadership.

A thorough inspection and evaluation is essential when it comes to replacing disc brakes on your vehicle. It is well worth the time it takes to remove the wheels and inspect the condition of your brake components before purchasing any parts. Before removing the wheels, make note of any noises, vibrations or harshness that occur during braking. What are the environmental conditions? At what speed does this occur? Does it happen during heavy or light braking? Keep in mind that not all problems experienced during braking are related to the brakes. For instance a clunk when you first step on the brake could indicate that the control arm bushings are worn and need to be replaced. A roaring noise that changes with the vehicle speed could be a faulty wheel bearing. Be sure to examine the brake components thoroughly. It is critical that all the components of the brake system are inspected for potential safety issues. If you're not confident in your ability to do this, seek advice from a professional. This is a basic set of guidelines for common issues and procedures when dealing with disc brakes, and is by no means a comprehensive guide to diagnosing or replacing disc brakes.
Common Issues
The majority of brake concerns are related to noises and pulsation. Noisy brakes can be irritating at best, and could indicate that there is a safety concern.
Squealing: Disc brake squeal is heard when the brake pad vibrates at a high frequency. This vibration is usually caused by irregularities in the brake rotor that cause the brake pads to oscillate inside of their mounting points in the brake caliper assembly. The brake rotor tends to amplify the vibrations, acting as a speaker. The larger the gap between these parts, the more potential they have to make noise. Brake pad material and design can have an influence on brake squeal, as well as brake rotor material and design. Brake pads that are worn down to the wear indicators will cause squeals due to the design of the wear indicators themselves.
Grinding: Grinding noises usua3f74lly indicate a serious issue with the brakes, and should be addressed immediately. Grinding noises usually occur when the brake pad has worn down to the metal backing, and is contacting the rotor. This metal on metal wear generates extreme heat and wear on the pads and rotors. If the wear occurs for long enough, the caliper piston can pop out of the caliper and cause fluid loss leading to a complete loss of braking. In some cases the rotor can wear all the way to the vents and cause the wheel to lock up. Grinding noises could also indicate that the caliper mounting fasteners have come loose and the caliper itself is grinding up against the wheel or brake rotor.
Scraping: Scraping noises usually come from a thin metal contacting the rotor. Usually scraping noises are due to a dust shield that has been bent a little during service and is rubbing on the inside edge of the brake rotor. Scraping noises can also come from improper brake hardware installation, loose shims, or incorrect brake hardware contacting the brake rotor.
Clicking, Popping, or Clunking: These types of noises could be coming from the suspension due to a load change during braking, indicating worn bushings or ball joints. They can also come from the brake pad being too loose in the caliper bracket due to missing hardware, incorrectly sized brake pads, or the caliper not being secured correctly. Popping or clunking noises should be taken seriously, as they may indicate a potential safety concern.
Pulsation: Brake pulsation coming from the rear wheels will usually be felt in the seat, while brake pulsation coming from the front wheels will usually be felt in the steering wheel. Brake pulsation is caused by thickness variations in the brake rotor, and in some cases, a warped rotor or bent wheel hub. Rotors can become warped due to improper or uneven wheel torque, rust buildup on the wheel hub, or inadequate heat dissipation. Brake rotor runout can be checked with a dial indicator. Check the manufacturer's specifications runout and minimum thickness.
Grabbing: Brake grabbing is usually due to contamination from oil or grease that has soaked into the friction material, producing a jerky braking experience. This can come from oil leaks, axles slinging out grease, and in some cases tire or wheel shine compounds that have come in contact with the brake surfaces during application. The source of contamination must be located and remedied, and the brakes must be replaced.
Dragging: Brake dragging occurs when the brake caliper is not able to retract from the applied position and may cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Dragging may lead to brake fade. This may occur due to a stuck caliper piston, stuck caliper slides, restricted brake hoses, or incorrectly installed brake parts.
Fading: Brake fade is a temporary loss of braking performance due to excessive heat build-up. Brake fade occurs when the compounds in the friction material are heated to a point which they begin to change states from solid to gas. This gas begins to form a boundary between the friction material and the rotor, and cause the brake pad to be pushed away from the disc. This is most common with new brake pads, as the bonding agents in the pad have not yet been heated. Another type of brake fade occurs when the brake fluid has degraded and has absorbed a significant amount of moisture due to its hydroscopic nature. Moisture content in the brake fluid lowers its boiling point. The brake fluid begins to vaporize and acts like air in the brake lines, requiring extra compression to exert force on the brakes, causing reduced braking performance, and potentially a complete loss of braking ability. Braking ability is restored when the fluid cools below the boiling point. Brake fluid can be checked with a refractometer or test strips which indicate the amount of moisture, boiling point, and other compounds which may be present.
Spongy, Soft, or Low Pedal: A brake pedal that feels spongy when depressed indicates that there is air in the hydraulic system. Pumping the brake pedal several times will temporarily restore the pedal. A soft or low pedal can be due to a brake fluid leak or a faulty master cylinder. In most cases of faulty master cylinders, depressing the brake pedal quickly with high force will sometimes temporarily restore the brake pedal. This is due to worn cup seals inside the master cylinder which are allowed to expand under rapid high force.
Hard Pedal: A brake pedal that requires excessive force to apply the brake is caused by lack of brake boost. Brake boost is achieved by means of a vacuum booster, or a hydraulic booster depending on the vehicle. In vacuum boosted systems, vacuum usually comes from the intake manifold, and is maintained by the use of a one way check valve. In situations where manifold vacuum is not available, such as vehicles with diesel engines, a vacuum pump is used. Check for vacuum leaks in the main line between the intake manifold or vacuum pump to the brake booster. Hydraulic systems require a pump, which pressurizes fluid to achieve brake boost, and an accumulator to retain pressure for multiple applications of the brakes. Check for any leaks, verify that the pump is building pressure, and make sure the accumulator is able to retain the pressure.
Choosing Your Brakes
There are an overwhelming amount of options available when choosing disk brakes for your vehicle. Becoming familiar with all of the options available will help you make the right choice when determining the parts that are right for your needs. It is important to consider what you want in terms of cost, performance, noise, and wear.
Brake Pads: There are several different friction materials available, and every brake manufacturer has their own recipe for what materials go into their brake pads. While there is a general idea of what friction materials make up a certain type of brake pad, there is a wide degree of variance between manufacturers. The friction materials must be able to absorb and dissipate heat efficiently. Brake pad design also plays a large role in performance and noise characteristics. Brake pads with chamfered edges cut down on noise, while brake pads with slotted surfaces help reduce brake fade. Knowing the basics can help you decide what is best for you.
Brake Rotors: Brake rotors are the heart of any disc brake system. Brake rotors are not only the main component in converting the vehicle momentum into heat, they are also responsible for dissipating the heat produced by the friction of the brake pads. A brake rotor provides the surface area for the brake pad to act upon. The amount of heat dissipated by the rotor depends on the surface area and mass of the rotor, or the diameter and thickness of the rotor. This heat dissipation is often improved by venting, which helps force the heat away from the rotor. Some rotors may have a specific vent direction and may only be fit on a certain side of the vehicle.
Prepare For Installation
Always verify that the parts are correct prior to installation. This will insure a smooth installation and decrease the chance of having any issues after the job is done. Make sure you have all the tools, parts, and materials required before disassembly.
Brake Rotors: Check that the new brake rotors are the correct diameter and that the center hub mounting bore is also the correct diameter. Most rotors come with an oil film to prevent rust during shipping. This must be completely cleaned off with brake parts cleaner prior to installation. Some rotors have a zinc coating which should not be cleaned off. This coating helps prevent rust on the non-friction surfaces of the rotor. Check runout before and after replacing rotors. If a new rotor has excessive runout the warranty will usually be void if it has been used for any period of time.
Brake Pads: Check that the brake pads are the same size and that they have all the associated shims, wear indicators, and indexing pins as the old pads. Some systems will have a specific inner and outer pad which are oriented on a particular side of the vehicle. For example, if all pads appear to be the same but only two have wear indicators, the pads with the indicators will be the inside pads. The wear indicators should face so that they will be pushed toward the pad by the rotor when the vehicle is traveling in a forward direction. This will cause them to squeal when the pads are worn below minimum thickness.
Brake Hardware: It is recommended that you install new hardware when a complete brake job is performed. Disc brake hardware is made of spring steel and loses its retention when it is heated and cooled over several cycles. Check that all mounting hardware, pad spreaders, abutment clips, slide pins, and rubber boots are present and correct before beginning the job.
Brake Lubricant: Make sure you use a lubricant that is specifically designed for disc brakes. Disc brake lubricants are formulated to tolerate high temperature conditions, high force, brake dust, road salt and grime, and they will not be washed away by water. Disc brake lubricants are non-petroleum based and are comprised of materials such as molybdenum disulfide, silicon, and several other synthetic compounds. Molybdenum disulfide, or moly lubricants, are recommended for use on metal to metal points that require lubrication. Silicon based lubricants, and other lubricants are recommended for use on caliper slides and surfaces with rubber contact.
Tools and Supplies: Other than the usual sockets, wrenches, and screwdrivers needed to perform most repairs, you will need a few specific tools and supplies to ensure a proper brake job. Here are a few basic ones:
Installation Tips
Clean and Lube: With the brakes disassembled and the caliper pistons retracted, clean the caliper and bracket thoroughly with a wire brush and brake parts cleaner. You want to remove all of the caked on brake dust. If the sliding surfaces that the brake pads or caliper come in contact with are rusty, burred, or uneven, recondition them with some emery cloth or sandpaper. Also, clean the face of the caliper piston and the caliper "fingers" where the backing of the brake pads rest against. You want a clean smooth surface for the moving parts to ride on. Clean the wheel hub face thoroughly to remove any rust present, then apply a thin coat of anti-seize compound to the hub face to prevent rust buildup between the wheel hub and brake rotor. A few thousandths of an inch of rust buildup here can multiply and cause an uneven brake rotor position in relation to the hub face and lead to pulsation down the road. Apply disc brake lube to any metal on metal surface where moving parts slide against each other, including the caliper pistons and "fingers" where the backing of the brake pads come into contact with. Clean the brake caliper slide pins and apply a thin coat of lube and ensure they move with minimal effort. Be sure not to get any lube on the friction surfaces.
Hardware: Make sure that all hardware is present and that it is clean and secure in its mountings. Loose hardware can cause squeals and possibly damage to the brake components if it is worn or installed correctly. Check for proper fit and movement, Verify that the pads are snug in their mounting points but allowed to move freely. Verify that the caliper slide pins move freely and the dust boots are in place and not damaged.
Torque: Tighten caliper and caliper bracket bolts to the recommended torque specification. It is extremely important to torque the wheel lugs in the proper pattern, to the proper torque specification. The brake rotors heat up and cool down in rapid cycles, sometimes almost instantly such as driving through a large puddle. It is imperative that the wheel lugs exert an even force on the brake rotor during these heating and cooling cycles to prevent warpage of the brake rotor. Always torque the wheel lugs when they are clean and dry. Use a wire brush to clean off any rust, oil, or debris. Replace wheel lugs that are damaged. Never apply anti-seize to wheel studs, because this can increase the torque and result in broken lugs or improperly torqued wheels.
Seat the Pads: Don't forget to pump the brake pedal several times before starting the engine. This will allow the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the rotors before you begin driving. Now you are ready to begin the bedding in procedure. The new brake pads need to establish an even contact with the brake rotor. They will need to be heated up gradually so that they begin to to transfer a film onto the new or resurfaced brake rotor. It can take up 500 miles to establish an even transfer film, but the first few stops are the most important. If the pads get too hot, the bonding agents in the pad will be pulled to the friction surface and will cause the pad to glaze over. If the pads are glazed, they cannot establish a good transfer film. There are many schools of thought when it comes to the bedding in procedure, and each brake manufacturer has their own specific procedure for bedding in brakes. An example, and a good general rule is the 30-30-30. Perform 30 moderate stops from 30 miles per hour with 30 seconds between stops for cooling. Check with your manufacturer for their preferred method. Try to avoid hard braking for the first 500 miles to ensure a proper break in of your new brakes.

Healthy Food Tip
Can you tell me more about the health benefits of the bromelain enzyme found in pineapple including whether it helps with protein digestion?
Bromelain is a complex mixture of substances that can be extracted from the stems and core fruit portion of pineapples. Among dozens of components known to exist in this crude extract, the best-studied components are a group of protein-digesting enzymes (called cysteine proteinases). Originally, researchers believed that these enzymes provided the key health benefits found in bromelain and that these benefits were primarily limited to aid with digestion in the intestinal tract.
Studies have also shown that bromelain has a wide variety of health benefits and that many of these benefits may not be related to the different proteinase enzymes found in the crude extract. Excessive inflammation, excessive coagulation of the blood and clot formation, and certain types of tumor growth may all be reduced by therapeutic doses ofbromelain when taken as a dietary supplement. Studies are not available, however, to show these same potential benefits in relationship to normal intake of pineapple within a typical diet.
Bromelain extracts can be obtained from both the fruit core and the stems of pineapple. Potentially important chemical differences appear to exist between extracts obtained from the stem versus the core fruit. However, the practical relevance of these differences is not presently understood. However, most of the laboratory research on bromelain has been conducted using stem-based extracts.
Although healthcare practitioners have reported improved digestion in their patients with an increase in pineapple as a "fruit of choice" within their patients' diets, I haven't seen published studies that document specific changes in digestion following consumption of the whole fruit. However, I've seen plenty of evidence to consider pineapple as a World's Healthiest Food, and I suspect that the extracts obtained from the core fruit will turn out to have some uniquely health-supportive properties, including possible digestion-related benefits.

Even before President Bush's State of the Union speech put science and engineering education on the front page, the University of Virginia's School of Engineering and Applied Science has reached out to students in middle schools and high schools around Central Virginia.
"We feel that our mission of promoting research and educating men and women to be leaders in technology and society includes a duty to reach out to younger students and invite them into the exciting world of science and engineering in which we live," said James Aylor, dean of U.Va.'s School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Several programs conducted by U.Va.'s School of Engineering and Applied Science illustrate current efforts to build interest in careers in science, engineering and technology and could help localize an article exploring President Bush's call for a greater emphasis on science and engineering education.

This article may seem complete to the untrained eye, but the gaps in information are still large enough for this elite team of Panauan Ninjas to hide inside of.
|Geschwind V3000
|Vehicle in Just Cause 3
|Off-road motorcycle

Custom: Rebel drop only
|List of owners

The Geschwind V3000 is an off-road motorcycle in Just Cause 3.
It's a modern dirt bike, resembling many real-world dirt bike designs such as those from KTM, Suzuki, and Kawasaki.
The Rebel drop description for the standard version is: "As capable as a Medician mountain goat at tackling tough terrain, the Geschwind is a favorite of Medician smugglers, revolutionaries, and teenagers."
There is also an upgraded version of this, called Custom Geschwind.
The performance is standard for a dirt bike, which means that it's excellent on off-road routes, though very rough terrain can upset its handling. It is also agile and has average off-road traction.
- In traffic.
- One can be found parked next to the Weimaraner's on the unnamed island at N 40 48.46 E 5 38.04
- 2x at the ruins at about N 40 45.970 E 5 33.770.
- 3x at N 40 43.996 E 5 43.882.
- After bringing one to a garage, it can be called in at any time via Rebel Drop.
- Several spawn at Vulture.
- They can be seen racing in a field as part of an easter egg.
- "Geschwind" is German for "swift".
- This vehicle is a successor to the Yamada 37-14 Vaquero and Makoto MZ 260X.
- Even though it says Geschwind as manufacturer, it has Autostraad badges on the side, though that is likely to be the model name, especially since the custom variant has no V3000 at the end of it's name.
- The Custom variant has the same performance as this.
- Just Cause 4 reuses many Just Cause 3 vehicle models. This one is reused as Geschwind V3000.

You already know that Android phones do not bring by default in the original Google compilation the possibility of recording the screen natively.
However, Huawei smartphones have incorporated the possibility of capturing video from the desktop of your cell phone in its version of the operating system, of course without root.
The functionality of screencasts to record, for example, a game game or to teach friends and family how a certain function of the phone itself works has been made extremely simple with the Huawei brand phones.
This function will only be available with the unlocked phone so that nobody can activate it without knowing the password or the access pattern and you will have to follow the following steps to use it:
Let's see when Google puts the batteries and allows recording natively in all brands as it is the manufacturers themselves, such as Samsung and Huawei itself, who do it with their own solutions.

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,
The phrase Tabula Rasa is Latin which translates to blank slate. Write about a the concept of a blank slate. Bonus points for using the words Tabula Rasa in the poem. Do you believe that it's possible to get a blank slate again in this life after you've started it? Or do you believe that there's no such thing as a blank slate even when we're babies because every child is born into a set of circumstances? However you feel about the concept express it in the poem.
Keep Dreaming Beautiful Thinkers,
The Boy In The Heart Shades

Considering the Seahawks were 11-1, and considering we feel 11-1 is a more true reflection of the talent on this Seahawks team, that means the Seahawks – by going 1-2 in their last three games – are in a slump. Hey, it happens! You can't win 'em all!
We still have a lot to be thankful for. We've already made the playoffs. We control our own destiny to win the NFC West and the #1 seed in the conference, we play our last game at home against a team that's only 7-8 and playing without its regular starting quarterback. It could be worse! We could be where the Saints are right now – needing a win just to make it into a Wild Card slot.
And yet, conventional wisdom states: now is the worst time to be slumping. There's no proof that's the case – and indeed recent history dictates that having a long winning streak going into the playoffs is no better than simply backing your way into the playoffs. It's all a crapshoot once you get in there, that's why they say the most important thing is just GETTING in there.
In reality, you COULD say that the Seahawks losing is a blessing in disguise, but losing your first game at home in two years – thus giving everyone on the team a valuable lesson – has no bearing on future playoff success (just like long winning streaks don't). Last week's loss WASN'T a blessing in disguise. What's more important? Winning the division and the conference's #1 seed? Or, learning some stupid lesson about not taking your home field advantage for granted? I'll take the win and the peace of mind any day of the week. If things were different, and the Seahawks prevailed against the Cardinals, no one would be looking back after the Super Bowl saying to themselves, "You know, that was fun and all, but I really wish we would have lost that game to the Cardinals in week 16."
The patron saint of slumping teams going into the playoffs is last year's very own Baltimore Ravens. "Well, if they can do it, then there's hope for us!" Yes, the 2012 Ravens started their season 9-2. Then, they proceeded to lose four of their last five and got knocked all the way down to the #4 seed. They hosted a young Indianapolis team and took care of business. They went into top-seeded Denver and got a miracle touchdown at the end of the game to force overtime, where they went on to win. Finally, they went into 2-seeded New England and forced a bunch of turnovers. Through it all, Joe Flacco was perfect (thus earning him that ridiculous contract), and they went on to dismantle the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
They didn't have to go on the road for three straight weeks (not counting Super Bowl) to win it all, but there are examples of that as well. If you want peace of mind, there are examples of amazing feats by particular teams that can give you hope, if you choose to believe.
But, getting back to the regular point: is there ever a good time to slump? I would say no, especially if it knocks you out of the #1 seed, all the way down to the #5 seed. But, if this post has made any point at all, it's that there's not a BAD time to slump either! Unless it's in the playoffs, but then it's win-or-go-home anyway so you're fucked. I'm talking about the regular season. Losing two of our last three games isn't a blessing. It isn't a curse either (unless, as I've said repeatedly, we coug away our home field advantage). It's just a fucking thing that's happened because those two teams – the 49ers and Cardinals – happen to match up well against us. Teams with great defenses are match up nightmares: WHO KNEW???
Well, we better fucking get it figured out. Because there's only one secret to winning the Super Bowl. It's not momentum, it's not "blessings in disguise" late in the season, and frankly: it's not even home field advantage throughout! It's the matchups. That's it. All the teams who make the playoffs have parts of them that are great. That's how you GET into the playoffs! Some teams are great on offense, some are great on defense, some are just sorta so-so on both, but they're well balanced and maybe they came from a somewhat shitty division (looking at you, Indy). There's a reason why these teams are there! We won't be seeing any more Jaguars or Vikings in these playoffs.
So, how do you get past them? Take advantage of the matchups. How does a Steelers team go on the road three straight weeks, beating presumably the three best teams in the league in the 2005/2006 playoffs? They provided matchup nightmares for those teams and ended up squeaking by. How does last year's Baltimore team run the table four times in the post-season? Same deal.
The Seahawks match up well against teams with good-to-great offenses and only so-so or crappy defenses. Since our defense is so amaze-balls, it's not difficult for us to shut a great offense down. So, if we lucked out in this year's playoffs, we would play teams like Green Bay/Chicago, Philly/Dallas, or New Orleans.
But, if you want a recipe for disaster – even if we have home field advantage – then force us to play the 49ers and Panthers back-to-back.
The fact of the matter is: the Seahawks have an obvious weakness. That weakness is our offense. When I settle in to watch the Seahawks, I'm not worried that our defense is going to crap the bed; I'm worried if the offense is going to score touchdowns or field goals. I'm worried about our running game finally getting going. I'm worried about the play-calling playing right into the hands of the other team's defense.
If you want to see the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, then I suggest you root hard for the NFC North and East. I suggest you root even harder for New Orleans. It's abundantly clear to me now who the Seahawks match up well against and who they match up poorly with. We need the 49ers out of the playoffs in the first round. We need the Saints to beat the Eagles. And we need whoever beat the 49ers (Bears/Packers) to turn around and beat the Panthers. If that happens, no one will be thinking about slumps or weaknesses. They'll be too busy watching the Seahawks steamroll over fools.
But, if it turns out we have to play the 49ers in the Divisional Round, with a date against the Panthers as our reward for winning, then I hope you like ugly, low-scoring, lotsa-punts football. I hope you like games that come down to the last possession. I hope you like sitting on the edge of your seat and praying for the football gods to give you one last opportunity to watch Russell Wilson with the ball in his hands. Personally, I'd rather go with the Walk Into The Super Bowl approach.

re: Achieving a perfect 100% Google Lighthouse audit score with Next and Redux VIEW POST
Fair point, although I'd say trivial is a bit of an exaggeration.
I'm currently building from this on an enterprise level application tying together several APIs and a CMS and using a cdn for static resources, currently still hitting 100s and plan on using lighthouse in CI to make sure people don't break it (it's normally accessibility that breaks).
The problem I guess I'd have with writing about that (when I can / if I'm allowed to) is that at that level projects have very unique characteristics so it's hard to write a one sized fits all. I'd suggest with NextJS and webpack common chunking the main decision is picking what to SSR and caching approaches to pages.
That's true,
trivial was not the best word to use :D Also true that it's hard to write something that will suit all bigger-sized projects. But there are things that could be common to all of them and would not be so easy to fix:
For example:
- loading images
- loading critical css
- reducing main-thread work
Additionally, when you're using Redux or other state-management libraries and have a massive store, it's also good to:
- load reducers asynchronously
- load sagas asynchronously
There are also many ways to optimize stuff thanks to NextJS support for dynamic component loading.
All those things can be very hard to do and I think that it would be nice to have an article which would show up how to handle this on some example.
Anyways, I didn't mean your article is bad or useless, it's a great write up! :) Sorry if it did sound like that!
Haha no offence taken I do see where you're coming from. Agree with the points, and yeah next seems like the perfect start point to get so many optimisations.
Ok yeah so images should be behind a cdn, optimised for size and if you know dimensions in advance you can prevent the page jumping around.
Did you see much benefit in loading reducers/sagas async? The only benefit I could see is if some of those import other libs, e.g in one of my cases a socket library.
I'm quite interested in looking at github.com/dunglas/react-esi. Seems like you could do some crazy stuff for caching.
Actually there's not much benefit in loading reducers/sagas, so this suggestion might be just my overengineering :) Thanks for bringing up
react-esi - I didn't know about this!

US Politics in Trump era
This Congressman Spent a Decade Battling the Agency Trump Might Appoint Him to Lead
Ever since White House budget director Mick Mulvaney's embattled appointment two months ago as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, he's moved swiftly to transform the watchdog agency he once called a "sick, sad" joke. He has shelved investigations and kneecapped the work of CFPB examiners by halting data collection. In just the last week, he announced plans to gut an Obama-era payday loan regulation, spend down the CFPB's rainy day fund, and launch a review of all its operations, signaling a likely overhaul.
The Senate Is Getting Ready to Erode Obama's Landmark Wall Street Law
On Monday, the Senate Banking Committee announced that it struck a rare bipartisan deal to deregulate banks. The deal would gut several of the protections enacted in 2010 in response to the financial crisis as part of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, most notably a key rule requiring that "Too Big To Fail" banks—those with more than $50 billion in assets—undergo stricter oversight.
Here's How the Russian State Media Has Been Covering Trump's Russia Scandal
On Wednesday September 20, the Washington Post published yet another evening bombshell about the Trump-Russia investigation. The Post found that while serving as Donald Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort offered to provide regular "private briefings" on the presidential campaign to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire who is closely linked to Vladimir Putin.
Trump's Treasury Department Deleted Research That Contradicts Republicans on Tax Reform
In an interview on Fox News last month, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin made a sales pitch for the GOP's tax reform plan—specifically, its plan to cut corporate taxes. "Most economists believe that over 70 percent of corporate taxes are paid for by the workers," he said. His implication, in laymen's terms: Regular workers would get 70 percent of the benefit of corporate tax cuts. Five years ago, the Obama-era Treasury department found the exact opposite
Stop Calling Mike Pence Boring. Here's His Track Record on Gays, Women, Immigrants, and the Planet
Bland on the outside. Terrifying on the inside. Over nearly two decades in political life, first as a congressman and later as Indiana's governor, Pence has been one of the leaders in efforts to push extreme conservative ideas—from limiting abortion access to questioning climate change—into public policy.

Objective: Two oscillometric devices, the Microlife WatchBP O3® and the Omron RS6®, designed for self-blood pressure measurement were evaluated according to the European Society of Hypertension (ESH)-International Protocol (IP) Revision 2010 in the obese population.
Methods: The Microlife WatchBP O3 measures blood pressure (BP) at the brachial level and the Omron RS6 measures BP at the wrist level. The ESH-IP revision 2010 includes a total of 33 subjects. The difference between observers' and device BP values was calculated for each measure. A total of 99 pairs of BP differences were classified into three categories (≤5, ≤10, and ≤15 mmHg). The protocol procedures were followed precisely in each of the two studies.
Results: Microlife WatchBP O3 and Omron RS6 failed to fulfill the criteria of the ESH-IP. The mean differences between the device and the mercury readings were: 0.3±7.8 mmHg and −1.9±6.4 mmHg for systolic BP and diastolic BP, respectively, for Microlife WatchBP O3, and 2.7±9.9 mmHg for SBP and 3.5±11.1 mmHg for diastolic BP for Omron RS6.
Conclusion: Microlife WatchBP O3 and Omron RS6 readings differing from the mercury standard by more than 5, 10, and 15 mmHg failed to fulfill the ESH-IP revision 2010 requirements in obese subjects. Therefore, the two devices cannot be recommended for use in obese subjects.

Christmas can be a wonderful time of year. Spending quality time with your extended family, enjoying holidays, giving gifts to loved ones, and of course the noble Christmas meal! It's undoubtedly a time for giving, and with this comes expenses. It's very easy to go overboard with family trips, gifts, and enticing foods; to let your hair down and delight in the spirit of Christmas. The truth is, though, that the silly season ultimately passes and a lot of us are left with the stress of considerable credit card balances. Some people spend months attempting to pay off their Christmas debts, while others find themselves in much deeper water.
Although some individuals have the financial ability to pamper their loved ones with costly gifts and lavish parties, the majority of us need to be conscientious to spend within our means so our Christmas joy can smoothly sail into the New Year. So with this being said, I want to share with you some useful ways of celebrating Christmas, without breaking the bank.
1. Set a Budget
Although it may sound cliché, it's vital that you create a budget and adhere to it. Draft a list of all the gifts you'll be giving and calculate the total amount. Most of the time, it will be far more than you envisioned. Use this as inspiration to think outside the box (pardon the pun!) and make some changes so you can stick to your budget. You could have a garage sale and sell belongings that aren't being used any longer, talk with family and friends about a setting price limit for presents, or even contemplate making gifts yourself! ASIC has launched a marvelous app to track your Christmas spending called TrackMySPEND (https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/) which I'm certain many of you would find useful.
2. Shop Online
Whilst lots of individuals find enjoyment in wandering through department stores and basking in the wonderful Christmas displays, nearly all the same items are offered on the internet at much cheaper prices. Use comparative shopping websites such as Google Shopping, Nextag, or PriceGrabber to find what you're trying to find. These websites are exceptionally competitive and will generally have discounts that can save you a bundle. Whilst shopping online will save you money, you must take extra precaution to ensure you get what you paid for.
3. Rethink your Christmas Cards
If you're one of the many families who send Christmas cards to all your family and friends, you'll understand that the costs of this exercise can be relatively expensive. It's no surprise that only some of your family and friends will actually keep these cards so it's basically just money down the drain. Rather, why not send a family Christmas video message online? There are lots of apps on smart phones and tablets that allow you to send quirky and enjoyable Christmas videos that can be sent out electronically at no cost at all. Additionally, you can always make your own Christmas cards with personalised messages and have your kids draw pictures to make them super special!
4. Wrapping Paper
A nicely wrapped present can make a remarkable difference, despite being the cheapest of presents. Christmas paper can be rather costly, so consider buying plain brown paper and adding a festive ribbon from a craft shop which will look much nicer than Christmas paper. You can even recycle brown paper bags that are normally given at clothing stores. Conversely, consider purchasing plain gold, green, or red paper which can also be used as birthday gifts throughout the year. Always remember, various department stores will wrap your presents for free, so don't be afraid to ask!
As you can see, Christmas celebrations doesn't need to break the bank. Sadly, however, lots of people spend beyond their means and find themselves in financial hardship in the New Year. If you end up in this position, it's better to seek professional advice sooner rather than later. There are many solutions available to you; all you need is the right advice. For any advice on financial hardship, talk with the specialists at Bankruptcy Wollongong by calling 1300 818 575, or alternatively visit our website for further information: http://www.bankruptcy-wollongong.com.au/
