2015 BMW X3 F25 LCI 3.0d Msport
I've owned a 2011 Audi Q5 3.0d Sline for a number of years and absolutely love the practicality, size, power, torque and economy of the V6 diesel. Recently sold my Audi S3 and wanted another SUV as our 2nd vehicle. I drive a current '18 BMW 530d for work and previously never had the BMW experience before. I really fell in love with the performance and build quality of this car. The BMW service centre where I live are the best I have ever experienced as well.
So 5 months ago I grabbed a 2nd hand 2015 BMW X3 F25 LCI 3.0d Msport (Alpine white...Read more) with 48,000km on the clock. Was in really fantastic condition, always garaged, full service history and still under BMW extended service plan. Read a lot of reviews on the F25 LCI X3 prior to the purchase pointing out all the pros' and con's of this model so I was sort of aware what I was getting into. Well after 5 months I'll give my opinion....., absolutely love my X3. I'll list a few options that my X3 has; heated front seats, Panoramic sunroof, 20" alloys, premium HiFi 205W 9 speaker Audio, idrive Nav' professional, HUD, burled walnut timber accents. Having a slightly older Q5 3.0d I can compare them a little side by side. The Q5 has slightly better fuel economy, is a little smoother in ride quality due to non run-flats (both having 20" alloys) and a more damper forgiving suspension than what the Msport dials up for you. The rear seat on the Q5 can be folded from release mechanisms on the rear internal sidewalls and also have fore and aft slide adjustment as well as tilt. However where the X3 excels is with a fantastic far more sophisticated DAB idrive system. Love how emails and text messages can be read on the 8.8" screen. The HUD is brilliant and I find it hard to live without it now. You can scroll through and dial contacts from the HUD as well having the Nav' maps displayed in full colour to a reasonably good detail in front of you on the glass. The HID Xenons are fantastic for driving at night and a fair bit better than the Xenons on my Q5. Also a big plus at night for the anti-glare external folding mirrors. I've had no problems with any rattles on my X3 like others have mentioned. If you park on a steep hill with the nose facing downhill the low oil light sometimes comes on the electronic vehicle information display. This initially freaked me out and I looked everywhere for oil leaks but it was like brand new underneath. I found the dipstick and it looked all okay. Researched this online and it appears as a known problem with the sensor location which feels the oil level is low when you turn it on. After leveling out and restarting it is all okay. Technology working against you here. I grabbed a small professional air compressor and puncture repair kit that I can pack in if I go away on any long trips for piece of mind and the ability to repair the run-flats on the go in an emergency.
Purchased in October 2019 at Private for $44,700.00.

Poor quality, Poor service
I bought x3 in Jun 2017, and I had very first service last year Nov at BMW service in Sydney.
From service they found the air conditioner was not working well. and they said that the part needed to be ordered and it would take for ten days.
But no update for 3 weeks and I called them and they said take another 10 more day .
Now I am waiting for it 2 months, still no update , no calls no email nothing.
I don't know how long do I have to drive this car with not working aircon in such a hot Summer. Not happy with such a lower standard service from BMW.

Half Satisfied...
I have had this car brand new since 05/18 and could share a bit of my experiences here.
This is the first BMW car I ever own, so I optioned it with M Sport Package, Comfort Package, panorama glass roof, wireless phone charging and fine wood trim.
It is an enjoyable car to drive for my daily travel of an hour between home and work. It has many safety gadgets that is mostly helpful and did get me out of troubles a few times. However, the "Adaptive Cruise Control" needs a much longer time to react when one switches from one lane into another la...Read morene. It is even more frightening if one is travelling at 60km/hr & moves into a right turn lane that has a big gap between your car and the car waiting in front, since it does not detect the stationary car fast enough and only reduces the speed abruptly when it gets too close for comfort. The engine noise is so subdued for a 3L diesel, so the cabinet feels much quieter than my original 2016 Benz 350d. It does feel more lively and punchier as well. The consumption stays at 9L/100K, for most city driving. The change from a car with normal tyres to one with run-flat tyres will need time to get used to. Even with this adaptive suspension fitted, it took me a while to get accustomed to the stiffer & harsher feel of the ride. It is highly recommended to have this adaptive suspension, as it does help improve the ride on all surfaces.
Purchased in May 2018 for $97,000.00.

Luxury, efficiency and style.
I share this car with my dad, but I have to pleasure of driving the beauty throughout the week.
First things first, the price tag is hefty. For a sport SUV, the massive price was partially split between my dad and myself, and it did hurt my bank account a fair bit. Other complaints I have are to do with the lane departure warning, which is a bit too sensitive at times. I also have a hilly driveway, meaning that the ABS activates when it detects the flat road after the hill and it locks the brakes. Even though you can override it, the sensors fa...Read more

Constant quality issues
I purchased this car from Essendon BMW less than 3 months ago. It has been back at least 3 times for various issues including;
1. A critical warning saying I had too much oil in the engine. The engine had to be drained and refilled (less than 10,000kms)
2. Safety systems not functioning properly (such as lane departure system - twice for this)
3. Boot lid not closing properly
I have had other major issues such as
1. I recently received a warning saying park brake wasn't working properly. The error eventually went away
2. I have several instances when I come back to my car and the back door (boot) is wide open...Read more

Excellent SUV - Just brilliant
Purchased as a well priced demo (4,000 kms) in 2016 from Brisbane BMW I was delighted with my 2.0D X3 after a tragic experience with a possessed by the devil Volvo XC60.
The X3 is perfect in many ways - not too big and not too small. The 2.0L Diesel is powerful enough, yet does have a small amount of turbo large.
Inside the X3 is not as plush as the Volvo XC60 was - but it was still a nice place to be and in true BMW form, it was a delight to drive.
Over the 2 years I owned the BMW, I did 50,000 KM's - all trouble free. The servicing was a ...Read moretad expensive, but no more then my Mazda 6 I owned some years back. Brisbane BMW where also a delight to deal with - a noticeable step above everybody else - nothing was too much trouble. Having recently traded the X3 in on a new BMW - I still had original tyres on the car. It was near perfect in many ways and I only have praise for the BMW X3.
Purchased in August 2016 for $62,000.00.

Money Pit - Stay away from BMW's
Couldn't disagree with some on the comments. My only advise is to stay away from BMW X3 or infant overall BMW range.
They may be good under warranty as soon as you are out of warranty BMW or Dealership dont cares any more.
Incident 1 - For me around 160K kms mark it all started with 3 light death combination, Airbag + 4x4 + Cant remember.
Inspection by BMW Dealership was advised to change entire Transmission, Motor etc with an estimate of over $18K

BMW X3 30d an unassuming rocket!
I have now owned my BMW X3 30d for 6 months
Performance is 5 star, absolutely fantastic, super quick for a diesel.
The fuel efficiency is excellent when driven sedately.
Finish and ergonomics are perfect
Road noise is present but I believe my tyres may be the culprit.
I have given the BMW X3 4 stars, it deserves 5 stars but price is the only negative.
I forgot to mention the fun factor when pulling away from the lights leaving many fancy pants vehicles in your rear view mirror!!

2018 BMW X3 30i - A very well rounded SUV
We recently purchased a BMW 30i (including, M package, Comfort package and the panoramic roof).
I spent a bit of time researching the options and felt that the familiar BMW dynamic was right for us. Certainly a very crowded segment and the BMW fully equipped was a bit of a stretch. I really felt that while the BMW wasn't necessarily the best in all categories it was excellent when looking at each of my criteria. If there was a weakness it was that I was sitting taller in this vehicle than I was accustomed, but that was more a reflection of ...Read morethe move from a small sedan to an SUV. Certainly some of the vehicles I considered were better in some of the criteria but were let down in other aspects. The BMW was, I thought, the most rounded choice. This was to some extent subjective. I have owned BMWs before and the cabin and driving dynamic is familiar. I was also looking for something which felt substantial and well planted for both urban and country longer distance driving. Some of the direct competitors were other BMWs. The X1 or X2 options were appealing as they was cheaper and more car like, but I didn't find their cabins as comfortable or as well equipped. I also considered the X3 30d which was really excellent, but I couldn't justify stumping up the extra money and diesel was a bit of an unknown quantity. Similarly the extra for the X3 M40 was hard to justify as an everyday driver. So I opted for a very well equipped 30i. This is a petrol option. I like a car that has a little bit of a sporty edge - something which is nimble, solid and has a bit of grunt when I need it. I haven't been disappointed. The 30i is more than adequate in a performance sense. I like that I can change the personality of the car via BMWs profiles I can jump from comfort (which is great for most driving needs) to sport (which tightens up suspension and changes the steering and automatic gear box). Part of the M package brings crucial improvements such as sports brakes and adaptive dampers - well worth having. I also like the changes that the M package brings to the external styling - especially in Alpine White. There seemed to be different impressions of the ride quality by various reviewers. My own impression has been of a very quiet, comfortable ride and I found this was the case even in X3s not equipped with adaptive dampers. The ride quality was in my view a real strength of the driving experience. Interior space is also excellent especially for the front seats, but really the rear seats and cargo space are very substantial too. Fuel consumption has also been good running at about 8.3 per 100km combined.

Great car. Drives very well with good control. Loads of features and Diesel engine gives great mileage. I tried Merc GLC but I found it a bit delicate ( not my type). The sporty version looks a bit sturdy. I am happy with this car. I might go for a bigger engine next time.

Terrible Quality Seat Covers
We purchased a new BPW X3 in July 2012. We wanted to buy leather seats but we were advised by sales staff that manmade leather the default was equally good and hard wearing. Seat cover started cracking in June 2015 (just before warranty expired). Seat cover was replaced by BMW under warranty.
Now in 2018 February Seat cover again has same problems. The standard seat covers supplied with a premier car does not even last three years. It is shocking to see such poor quality material being used by a leading luxury brand car in Australia.

The car drives well until you get a fault light up then get out your wallet.
Handles and drives well. good power from the turbo diesel motor.
Interior is fine. The ride is a bit hard in the back.
We bought this car from the dealer at 25,000km (little old lady owned, church on Sunday scenario). We started having issues after 80,000km.
Unfortunately there have been multiple issues with the transfer case (repairs $10,000), DPF (repairs $4,500), exhaust valve relay (repairs$8,000) and vibration caused by recall repairs replacement of the timing chain (ongoing $$$).

Reliable Car with fancy badge
Love this car, it's fancy from outside and looks great for any occasion. The interior is simple yet classy, will stand for so many years ahead. It's quite friendly and not too hard to use. Love the seats because it's adjustable in every way. All mechanic seems smooth and have no problem at all for the last 3 yrs we owned it.
Although I wish the Air Con can be more cooler. But this maybe because of the petrol efficiency and the machine stops everytime red traffic light and on again when it's green.

Best car we ever brought. Very comfortable and has enough leg room.

Great operational single driver
Performance of BMW is unquestionable. IT IS THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE!
handling is probably the best in its class. very good in maneuvering. just a noise reduction is not as good as the merc.
been using this X3 since July 2013. I would say it does everything quite good.
the only downfall is BMW didnt provide comfort shock or what they call adaptive something which makes the car runs comfortable for bumps.
other than that, amazing 4WD compact car!

Black Bear Research (Video)
Now Showing ResearchChannel Science
Mike Vaughn talks about black bear research.
[Enter Black bear research in Site Search box]
BooBooBearBecky will be one member who will enjoy the video.
Thanks for posting the info.
I tried to view it but I'm already lost when it asks what connection I'll be using to watch it..........No idea!
If you use dial up use the lower one, for high speed use the DSL one.
I have only been able to view videos for 2 days now. For me it would not work on Dial-Up. The link would not go directly to the video. That's why you have to put "black bear research" in the box.
I hope you can see it.
How do I know what I have?
In the lower right hand corner you will see 2 tv screens. Hold your mouse there and it will tell you your speed.
If you have dial up you will have wires going to your telephone and you wont be able to use your phone while you are on the computer. If you have dial up your speed may be around 40 or 50.
If your speed is in the 100+ range, you do not have dial up.
OK I got it! Thank you.
I'll have to watch it tomorrow though. All night hubby is on the phone and now that I move over here to do a few things he decided it is time to watch TV full blast........ Grrrrrrrrr
I listened to this all the way through. Good find hazelnut. I knew bears were alternate year breeders but didn't realize the gestation period was only 55 days. The collaboration with the other scientists to study osteoporosis and clinical depression was interesting.
There are several lectures in this research series that look interesting. I love bears, though. We have them in our woods at home. My sister says they follow her to the clothes line and watch her hang the clothes! There is a Momma and her cub.

Thanks for the link! Very interesting.
I was amazed how bear research regarding hibernation could eventually be used to analyze osteoporsis and depression in humans.
One behavior discussed in the interview was that bears hibernate, but are not true hibernators. They CAN be disturbed from their "sleep" in winter. I knew this from attending the course at the North American Bear Center in Ely, MN, and this explains the reason why I NEVER stuck my head into the tunnel that opened into the "lower level" of our enormous brush pile last winter.

SemanticKITTI is a large-scale dataset providing point-wise labels for the LiDAR data of the KITTI Vision Benchmark. It is based on the odometry task data and provides annotations for 28 classes, including labels for moving and non-moving traffic participants. Please visit www.semantic-kitti.org for more information.
In this competition, one has to provide completed voxel grid for the test sequences 11-21. The task is to use an unlabeled voxel grid of a single scan to predict the completed voxel grid. Here, the approach needs to provide labels for each voxel of a pre-defined dimension.
Similar to the training data, you have to provide a single zip containing a folder "sequences". The sequence folder contains sub-folders "11", "12", ..., "21", which contain a folder "predictions". There one has to provide for each scan a label file in binary format containing for each voxel an unsigned int (16-bit) with the label.
The contents of the zip-file should be organized like this:
sequences ├── 11 │ └── predictions │ ├ 000000.label │ ├ 000001.label │ ├ ... ├── 12 │ └── predictions │ ├ 000000.label │ ├ 000001.label │ ├ ... ├── 13 . . . └── 21
It is strongly recommended to use the verification script of the SemanticKITTI API (available at github), since all submissions count towards the overall maximum number of submissions.
Note: The upload of the zip file with your results takes some time and there is (unfortunately) no indicator for the status of the upload. You will just see that is being processed upon successful uploading your data.
To assess the labeling performance, we rely on the commonly applied mean Jaccard Index or mean intersection-over-union (mIoU) metric over all classes.
As the classes other-structure and other-object have either only a few points and are otherwise too diverse with a high intra-class variation, we decided to not include these classes in the evaluation. Thus, we use 25 instead of 28 classes, ignoring outlier, other-structure, and other-object during training and inference. We furthermore do not distinguish between moving or non-moving objects, which results in 19 classes.
Our dataset is based on the KITTI Vision Benchmark and therefore we distribute the data under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike licence. You are free to share and adapt the data, but have to give appropriate credit and may not use the work for commercial purposes.

Call him Alfred.
Every night, Alfred sat up in his room, long after lights out, hunting and pecking at an enormous black typewriter. Whatever he was trying to accomplish, it wasn't working. Alfred was losing sleep and so were the residents and staff in the residential care facility that was now his home. Alfred was a problem and the solution to such problems, 40 years ago, was sedation.
Enter Pam Havens, all of 15 years old. Born and raised in the same small town where Alfred lived, Pam was working at the local care home for the summer before she entered Grade 10.
"What are you doing, Alfred?" she asked.
"I have to tell my story."
At home that evening, Pam spoke with her parents about Alfred and together they came up with a solution.
Back at the care home the next day, Pam gave Alfred one of her father's dictaphones. "Push this button when you want to talk and this button when you want to stop. The machine will record your story and I will type it out every night."
Pam gave Alfred a red pen, too, because every writer must have a red pen for editing purposes.
That night, everyone slept.
Each day when Pam came to work, she exchanged dictaphones with Alfred and gave him the next chapter of his story, transcribed.
Alfred's story was about living through Auschwitz.
When his story was told, Alfred sat on his bed in his room, a sheaf of paper in his hands and tears in his eyes.
"Thank you," he said.
"You're welcome," Pam returned.
As Alfred's story emerged, Pam struggled to understand why medication was the prescribed solution for this man. The behaviour was the problem, not the person. How was Alfred identified by his behaviour? Why was he not treated with respect, not only for what he had endured but because he was a human being? Why was no one listening?
Stories like Alfred's led Pam to a career in gerontology and her journey towards providing person-centred care for people living with dementia.
One of the early graduates of Simon Fraser University's gerontology diploma program, Pam worked as support and education co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and went on to provide geropsychiatric education for the provincial health authorities.
And then, last fall, some 40 years after meeting Alfred and others like him, Pam joined My Parkgate Break, the dementia respite program at Parkgate Community Centre.
"Dementia sufferers push us to treat them as people. I love them for this," says Pam. "They are always communicating as best they can. It's our job to understand and to help. In Alfred's case, publishing his story wasn't the point, nor was it necessary that people hear his story. It was about understanding that Alfred was communicating his need to tell his story, and then helping him do so."
Currently in our communities, most care for people with early to moderate dementia, that is, able to function in daily life, is taken on by spouses and adult children. These caregivers are aging too.
My Parkgate Break serves a great, and growing, need for people with dementia and for those who care for them. The program offers true respite: a block of time, twice weekly, so that caregivers have time to themselves, confident that their loved ones are safe, active and participating in daily life.
"At My Parkgate Break, we're listening," says Pam. "Our words are empowerment, independence, respect and dignity. Everything we do is about helping people make their own choices. Here they have freedom to feel, and to express their feelings. And we do this out in the community, where we're interacting and engaging with people of all ages."
Expanding person-centred dementia care across the North Shore will succeed through the participation of people with dementia and their caregivers, and by collaboration with local community organizations. Capilano Community Services Society is developing a program modeled on My Parkgate Break for the new Lions Gate community centre opening in 2020.
West Vancouver Seniors' Activity Centre is adding an Alzheimer's Cafe to its Keeping Connected dementia services roster.
Pam Havens and people from all three organizations will be at the North Shore Seniors' Health Expo on Sept. 6.
They will join family caregivers Dr. David Kirkpatrick, John Jarvis and Sheryl Rasmussen who will share their experiences with loved ones on the dementia journey at a presentation called Faces of Care.
The Bus Stop, a short film about a family dealing with dementia, is on the program, too.
The Faces of Care presentation is slated for Friday at 1 p.m. in the Activity Room at West Vancouver Seniors' Activity Centre.
Laura Anderson works with and for seniors on the North Shore. Contact her by phone at 778-279-2275 or email her at email@example.com.

There Was A Lot of Hoot This Week…
A lot happened this week, we're here to help you make sense of it. The weekly Owler Business News Summary:
Rushing to the Rescue
As the first cases of Ebola were reported in NYC and Mali this week, drug manufacturers GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) are racing to produce a vaccine. J&J announced it may have a vaccine ready for broad distribution by May 2015, ahead of GSK, which has already developed a medicine but is unsure how much it will be able to produce by 2015. J&J is also already providing vaccine administration education on the ground in West Africa and took out a large investment in its Bulgarian counterpart that has developed a different vaccine for the disease. The J&J PR team is saying they will take on whatever kind of risk in order to fight the disease, and that it is not focused on what its competition is doing.
When it Rains, It Pours
Unfortunately, Amazon (AMZN) doesn't seem to have Lil' Wayne's luck when it comes to making it rain. This week, Amazon posted disappointing profits for the 3rd quarter. The company reported a $437M loss, a figure that ballooned from Q3 2013's reported loss of $41M. Unsurprisingly, one of the major factors contributing to the loss is the Amazon Fire smartphone. The company was forced to write off $170M, due in large part to excess inventory that it was unable to sell. Despite a 20% jump in quarterly revenue to $20.58B, the market punished Amazon and its stock tumbled ~12% this week. Adding insult to injury, several liberal columnists across the US lampooned Amazon this week for its supposed strong-arming of the book industry. The uproar followed news that Amazon and Simon & Schuster, a major publishing company, finally reached an agreement about how the publishing company would vend books on Amazon's site. Paul Krugman's column catapulted the debate to the national stage, with many other columnists following suit, adding their voices to the conversation.
Wanna Bankroll My ApplePay?
Apple (APPL) posted record Q3 profits, injecting some sparkle into an otherwise grisly week on the stock market. The iPhone 6 has reportedly shown double the adoption rate of the iPhone 5, meaning sales topped 39M at the end of Q3, or 2M more than projected. This week ApplePay launched, too. At first look, analysts were pleased with the app and with the few hiccups encountered in the roll out.
Phat Fads
Fast food company McDonald's (MCD) and soft-drink company Coca-Cola (KO) experienced poor sales over Q3. McDonalds reported earnings down 30% from last quarter. Analysts attribute the dip (not the kind for chicken nuggets) to rising labor costs, expansive menus, a scare about poor meat quality in China, and increased competition from – dare we admit it – more 'sophisticated' brands like Chipotle (CMG). Coke reported soft earnings a year after CEO Muhtar Kent pledged to show improved returns. What's likely the biggest drag on sales? It's no secret sauce – just an altering view among consumers that both brands are simply unhealthy.
All Giants Must Fall
IBM released earnings so dismal this week that it may fall out of the S&P top 20 firms by market capitalization. IBM (IBM), while fluctuating in and out of the top 10 since '92, is now teetering on the edge of the top 20. This is the 10th consecutive cycle that IBM's earnings have underwhelmed. Despite exiting low margin sectors of its business, namely through selling Lenovo Group (0992), and expanding into cloud services, growth in IBM's core computing business continues to slump. This week Microsoft announced a partnership with IBM to make it easier for users to transition between platforms. It's unclear how strong such a partnership could be, as aging athletes seldom make a strong comebacks.

One week before the University of Miami Hurricanes, two weeks before the Miami Dolphins, and 20 days before the high schools start their regular seasons, another group of players quietly began the football year Saturday night at Rotary Park in Hollywood.
There weren't any bowl or college scouts, no national television crews or million-dollar egos. The crowd wasn't a crowd at all, just a few dozen adults eager to see their heroes perform.
The Hollywood Hills Red Raiders kicked off their 16th season in the Hollywood Optimist Football League with Driftwood of the National Boys Football League. The HOFL, which begins league play Sept. 6, is for boys ages 8-15.
Northeast Hollywood is the other team from southeast Broward in the 24-team league that stretches from Delray Beach to North Dade, Miramar to Miami Lakes. Northeast Hollywood plays its games at Boggs Field on Saturday nights beginning around 5:30. Hollywood Hills starts at about the same time at Rotary Park.
More than 100 boys play on the three tackle and one flag football teams in the Hollywood Hills program, Red Raider league representative Steve Arvay said. That number is down a bit from past years, said Arvay, because of several reasons.
"We're having stiff competition from soccer now," he said. "Parents seem to think soccer is a lot safer for their kids. A lot of soccer programs are just ending when football is starting and some soccer coaches tell their kids not to play football because they're too good."
Indeed, studies have shown that heavy physical contact for pre-pubescent children can cause permanent damage to a child's skeleton. And despite lots of pads, restricted weight classes and special rules, some kids do suffer injuries.
HOFL programs in nearby Miramar, North Dade, Ives Estates and Pasadena Lakes also have robbed Hollywood Hills of some of its players. Arvay also complained that high school coaches monopolize most of football players in their freshman year, whether or not the players are good enough to play on the high school junior varsity level.
"We feed a lot of kids to high schools, but they don't help us out a lot," he said. "A boy in high school should play with us. But instead he goes out, gets his uniform and impresses the girls. But 99 percent of the them sit the bench up there and what they do is waste a solid year of their football careers."
Another problem that most HOFL programs face annually is a lack of money and volunteers. Hollywood Hills and Northeast Hollywood are no different. Both teams have to take on fund-raising efforts to help pay for their expenses.
Hollywood Hills cheerleaders have bake sales at the games, the team normally hosts a barbecue before the first HOFL game and also sells a souvenir "ad book" in which a picture of every player graces advertisements bought by area businesses.
"It's a struggle to make ends meet," said Arvay. "Plus we can't have our jamboree and barbecue this year because they're resodding our field. You have a problem, too, in finding coaches."
Anywhere from five to 25 coaches volunteer to help various HOFL programs. In places like Boca Raton, where they have six teams of at least 30 players each, parent-coaches seem to come out of the woodwork. But in Hollywood, it's not as easy to find adults who have the time to volunteer.
At Northeast Hollywood and Hollywood Hills there are three teams each. The youngest and lightest players play in the 90-pound-and-under league. The next group is the under-115 and then the under-140 league. Arvay said the weight limitations keep very few boys off the field in a given year, but there are some exceptions.
Occasionally, a boy about 11 years old will outgrow the rest of his peers. Instead of forcing him to play against more experienced boys who happen to weigh the same, Arvay said he tries to talk the boys out of playing football for at least that year.
There are no girls on the teams in the HOFL. The girls are relegated to the sidelines, selling cookies, cakes and brownies, dressed up in cheerleading uniforms to lend moral and vocal support to the boys.
For boys not ready for the contact of tackle football, the HOFL offers a flag football league for youngsters between ages 6 and 8.
"We try to teach the kids the proper methods of football," said Arvay. "The first year in the program is a learning year. They learn how to play and have a good time at it. Obviously, our main goal is to make it to the Super Bowl. Even though we haven't done that, we are a winning organization."

Dislon: Quantized dislocations
Contributors (1)
Mingda Li, Mildred S. Dresselhaus and Gang Chen
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
To quantify the influence of crystal dislocations on materials electrical, optical, magnetic, thermoelectric, superconducting properties with one single unified analytical theory, with no empirical fitting parameter.
From dislocation to dislon
Electron-dislocation Scattering:
Electron energy can oscillate near and edge but not screw dislocation
Dislocation-phonon Interaction: Solving decades-long debate
Advantages of dislon approach
Dislocated superconductor's mechanism
Non-perturbative dislocation-phonon interaction
Resonance peak of phonon relaxation rate when interacting with phonons indicates a breakdown of all perturbation theory.
Dislocation induced superconductivity
Dislon, as quantized dislocation, as a unified theoretical framework, opens up numerous opportunities to quantify the quantum and functional properties in dislocated crystals, at a full quantum-field-theoretical level.
The authors dedicate this poster to Prof. Mildred S Dresselhaus for her support on this study.

The Afghan Ministry of Defense (Central Government of Afghanistan, overseeing the entire Afghan Armed Forces. The current defense minister is Mohammed Masoom Stanekzai (acting). His predecessor was General Bismillah Khan Mohammadi. The President of Afghanistan nominates the minister and the Parliament makes the final approval.
Zahir Azimi is the Major General and spokesman of the Ministry of Defense. From late 2001 to 2004, Mohammed Fahim served as the Defense Minister but was not reappointed, after being accused of illegally occupying land in Kabul. During the same period, Abdul Rahim Wardak was the Deputy Minister. In December 2004, President Hamid Karzai appointed Wardak as the new Defense Minister. He resigned in August 2012.
One of the functions of the Defense Ministry is the continuance of disarming insurgent groups through programmes such as the Afghan New Beginnings Programme. These militant groups coalesced from warlords and former army personnel after the collapse of the Najibullah government in 1992.

As a librarian I get asked frequently, "What are you reading right now?" or "You must read and read and read tons of books, like- all the time!" Um, no. This post isn't really about what librarians do and don't do, but for the record, we aren't all book worms.
Although, I do love to read and was a voracious reader when I was younger. In other words, pre-kids!
As a busy working mom though it's difficult to put aside time to read, but I do want to start carving out more time for it- so I solicited the help of other Syracuse Mom Bloggers, and my mom librarian colleagues to come up with a list of good books to put on your nightstand. Some of these are parenting related or at least parenting adjacent, some are just for fun and some really challenge us to think! I'd love to hear in the comments if you have read these selections already and what your thoughts are on them, since one man's (or woman's) War and Peace is another's dime store trashy novel (but hey, sometimes those are good too!)
Please click on the titles where I have linked to book reviews or book purveyors. But, as a librarian, please check out your local library first where you are able to get ALL of these selections for FREE!

WWE News: Former WWE Champion takes shot at Triple H
- He was champion in 2006, after defeating John Cena.
What's the story?
Former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam has taken a shot at WWE COO Triple H in a response to Hulk Hogan on Twitter.
In case you didn't know
Van Dam debuted in WWE in 2001, as part of the WCW & ECW Alliance. Despite the group being heels, Van Dam was one of the most popular stars, due to his acrobatic ability and natural personality.
In 2006, Van Dam won the WWE Championship from John Cena at ECW: One Night Stand, and was awarded the ECW Championship on the debut episode of the revamped ECW.
In 2013, Van Dam returned to the company, unsuccessfully challenging for the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships, before leaving the following year.
Outside of WWE, Van Dam has had success in Impact Wrestling, holding the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in 2010.
The heart of the matter
Responding to an article where the Undertaker spoke on WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant, Hogan spoke about a proposed feud between the Deadman and the Giant that never transpired.
Speculating on where a match between the two iconic stars would take place, Van Dam responded saying that "someone would've run in and pedigreed them both" alluding to the Game's finisher.
This is seemingly a reference to the belief that Triple H has held down talent for years to further his own career in WWE.
What's next?
After his victory at Super Show-Down, Triple H (alongside Shawn Michaels) was attacked by The Undertaker and Kane, adding to the speculation that the four will face in a tag-team match at WWE Crown Jewel.
WWE Crown Jewel will take place November 2, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and will be the second event in the nation as a part of the company's 10-year deal with the country.Published 07 Oct 2018, 14:03 IST

See full summary » Greta, a Swedish student comes to Paris with a view to making it there.
At the autopsy of the Bunker twins, one of the anatomists opined that their active sex lives "shocked the moral sense of the community" -- even though the truth is that the Bunkers' neighbors appeared to have just accepted the situation.
A little known fact is that the Bunker wives' father originally objected to his daughters marrying the twins because they were conjoined, but because they were Asian.
I'm afraid I just laughed when, in writing a book on conjoined twins, I came across this 1984 line by a nurse writing in a medical journal: "Two people never being able to obtain privacy to bathe, excrete, copulate, or eat defies imagination." Surgeons sometimes openly allude to sexuality as a motivator for separation surgery.
In 2002, as soon as he had made the cut separating two little girls joined at the head, the neurosurgeon involved paused to announce to the assembled medical team, "We now have two weddings to go to." Indeed, when I talked to contemporary surgeons about how they decide whether to undertake the substantial risks some separations involve, I found that surgeons had two fears, sort of conjoined: one, that twins would grow up conjoined and thus never have sex; two, that twins would grow up conjoined and actually have sex.
The same discomfort generally carries through to our own time.
When filmmaker Ellen Weissbrod set out to do an A&E Channel program about Lori and Reba Schappell, who are conjoined at the face, Weissbrod showed raw footage of the twins to New Yorkers on the street, without explanation, to gauge their reactions.
Typically, people who are close to conjoined twins come to adjust and see them as different but normal; they seem fairly untroubled by the idea of conjoined twins pursuing sex and romance. The best example of this would probably be the story of Chang and Eng Bunker, "the Siamese Twins," so called because they were from Siam (now Thailand).Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

Artist Taloi Havini and Ruth McDougall, curator of Pacific art at Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art, discuss Havini's first Australian solo exhibition, Reclamation .
After structural issues forced The Armory Show into last-minute relocation pirouettes last year, the fair returns between 5 and 8 March 2020 with a flourishing programme, complemented by stand-out shows across New York City.
For her second solo exhibition at Thomas Dane Gallery in London, Ella Kruglyanskaya's compositions signal the many possibilities of paint.
Pietro Roccasalva, born 1970, Modica (IT), lives and works in Milan (IT).Read More
Roccasalva thinks of himself primarily as a painter, although he often uses other media such as installation, sculpture, performance, film and photography. In his work painting is indeed the constant centre of an ever-expanding constellation of different elements. These elements can be seen as stages that are formally autonomous, but are also part of a greater situation or process: in the context of the development of the Western painting tradition, it corresponds to the setting, the first phase of a process that leads to the creation of a painting. An internal logic in his oeuvre makes the switching of different media inevitable, and makes it also possible for certain themes and images to be recycled: a work bears often traces of something that has preceded it, in a constant referring to iconographies which repeat themselves in various ways and generate new situations. Roccasalva's work embodies multiple references–ranging from art history to philosophy, from literature to cinema–in relation to the circumstances and contingencies that he encounters in each new context.
Pietro Roccasalva had solo shows at The Power Station, Dallas; Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne; Le Magasin, Grenoble; GaMeC, Bergamo; Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice. His work was part of group exhibitions at David Roberts Art Foundation, London; Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw; Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm; MCA, Chicago; MoMA PS1, New York; MAXXI, Rome; Kadist Art Foundation, Paris; S.M.A.K., Ghent.
He was invited for the Venice Biennial in 2009, the second Torino Triënnial in 2008, Manifesta 7 in 2008 and the Prague Biennial in 2007.
Pietro Roccasalva joined the gallery in 2014.

This essay is a meta study of essays published at the
Institution of Library and Information Sciences at the
University of Borås in 2009. It aims to answer the following
What attitudes about new media can be found in essays
written within SSLIS and are there traces of media panic in
the discourse?
The theoretical framework of the essay is based on a theory
of the concept of media panic as defined by Kirsten Drotner
et al, and the concept of moral panic as defined by Stanley
The method used is derived from Klaus Krippendorff's
ideas on content analysis, as published in the book Content
Analysis. The method in this study uses computerized
searches for target words. The target words used were:
Internet, web, e-, blogg, facebook and twitter. The material
was analysed using a four field model, consisting of fields of
positive or negative attitude towards a specific medium
regarding usefulness and reliability.
The study shows attitudes found in the material were mainly
positive about new media, and only to a lesser degree were
there clearly negative attitudes. It also reveals that there are
few signs of media panic in the discourse.

"Many frightened women had little faith in a largely corrupt and inefficient police force."
1/16/14, "A gun designed for Indian women
India has launched a new handgun for women, named after a student who was gang-raped in Delhi in December 2012 and later died of her injuries. Officials say it will help women defend themselves, but critics say it's an insult to the victim's memory.
"It's small, it's lightweight, it weighs only 500g [1.1lb], and it can easily fit into a lady's purse." Hameed speaks enthusiastically about the .32-calibre revolver, praising the "special titanium alloy body, the pleasing-to-the-eye wooden handle".
"The six-shot gun is easy to handle and it can hit its target accurately up to 15m [50ft]," he explains, pointing out the word "Nirbheek" engraved on the barrel.
Although men can buy the gun too, Nirbheek is being pitched as India's "first gun for women" and to make it more attractive to them, it comes packaged in a deep maroon jewellery case.
Nirbheek is a synonym of Nirbhaya - the nickname given by the Indian press to the Delhi rape victim, who could not be named under Indian laws. Both words mean fearless in Hindi.
"We generally ask our employees to suggest names for new products. We received a lot of suggestions and decided on 'Nirbheek'. We believe that women who carry this gun will feel fearless," Hameed says.
Although work to develop a lighter gun for women began before the Delhi rape, the project was fast-tracked after the crime, which sparked protests nationwide. The 23-year-old was raped, tortured with an iron bar and thrown from a moving bus.
Hameed says Nirbheek will deter attackers, because of the "surprise element". The factory began taking orders on 5 January and despite a steep price tag of 122,360 rupees ($1,990; £1,213), Hameed says the response has been good, with 10 guns sold and many more enquiries.
The gun's launch has led Indians to debate whether carrying a gun makes a woman safer. Ram Krishna Chaturvedi, the chief of police for Kanpur and several nearby districts, thinks it does.
"It is definitely a good idea. If you have a licensed weapon, it increases your self-confidence and creates fear in the minds of criminals," she says.
Among those wanting to buy Nirbheek is Pratibha Gupta, a housewife and student in Kanpur. She says it is "too expensive" and the process of acquiring a licence is "cumbersome", but she believes that it will be empowering.
"If the person in front of me knows that I have a gun, he will hesitate to touch me, he will know that since she has a gun, she can use it too. The gun will be my supporter, my friend and my strength."
Soon after the Delhi gang rape, large numbers of women in Indian cities began to look for ways to make themselves safer.
The Indian government introduced tougher new laws against rape, deployed more police on the streets and several cities introduced women's helplines.
But many frightened women had little faith in a largely corrupt and inefficient police force. Large numbers enrolled in self-defence classes and began stocking up on pepper spray cans. Some reports suggested there was a rise in the number of women seeking gun licences.
Shocking stories are still making headlines though, such as the case involving a Danish tourist who was attacked by a group of men earlier this week. In Calcutta a girl was gang-raped twice and then set on fire - in three separate incidents. Crime figures from India's National Crime Records Bureau suggest the number of rapes is on the rise, and that one is committed about every 22 minutes.
Anti-gun activists, however, are appalled at the idea.
"I am horrified, shocked and angered," says Binalakshmi Nepram, founder of the Women Gun Survivors Network in the north-eastern state of Manipur, who says it's the government's responsibility to ensure the security of its citizens.
"It's ridiculous that the state is talking about arming women... The authorities saying, 'Hey woman, come there's a new gun for you which will make you safer,' is an admission of failure on their part."
Nepram, whose organisation has been studying gun violence in eight Indian states for a number of years, says having a gun doesn't "make you safer, it actually enhances your risk".
"Our research shows that a person is 12 times more likely to be shot dead if they are carrying a gun when attacked," she says. She also says to name Nirbheek after the rape victim is an insult to the memory of Nirbhaya, because she wouldn't have been able to afford it.
"In India, the annual income of most people is less than the cost of the gun. So to suggest that this gun will make women safer is bizarre."
According to GunPolicy.org, an international firearm injury prevention group, India has 40 million privately-owned firearms - second only to the US - but only 6.3 million or 15% of them are legal.
There are no accurate estimates of how many women are armed.
"No woman in India carries a gun. I've never seen it in my life," he says.
"In the last 10 years, we've seen maybe one or two women who've come to our shop for a gun. Women possess licences - in my home there are six women and they all have licences and they all have guns, but they have been bought by the men in the house."
Most public places in India do not allow guns - and many offices, malls, cinemas, theatres and markets are equipped with metal detectors to enforce this.
Even if the Delhi rape victim had owned a gun, he says, it would not have been much help, considering she was returning home after watching a film in a theatre in a mall where she wouldn't have been allowed to carry her weapon.
And if she had been armed, and she had shot any of her attackers the chances are she would have spent the rest of her life in jail on charges of murder he says.
Anita Dua, a women's rights activist in Kanpur who acquired a gun about eight years ago, says she's never had a chance to use it.
"I work for women's issues and have been instrumental in sending many people to jail so I have made lots of enemies.
"I bought this revolver for personal safety, but I'm not allowed to carry it to most places, so it just remains, locked up in my house, gathering dust.""
"Guns in India"
- Estimated total number of guns: 40 million
- Number of registered, legal guns: 6.3 million
- Estimated guns held illegally: 33.7 million
- Only 15% of privately owned guns are legal
- Firearms per 100 people: 3.36
- India is second only to US in the number of privately-held guns

When Frank Sinatra sings Fly Me To The Moon and Come Fly with me, I feel like dancing. It resonates and lifts me from my thoughts.
Our minds are equipped. We are able to engage in music and dance to feel good. To feel connected. It makes me feel alive.
We long for connection. When we are bound over by skin, we can't connect with others as easily as if we had no physical form. It is a form of isolation. This drives us to love and cherish our families, make friends, and seek soul mates or at least companionship. But it is an undeniable fact that we are alone. And we can feel it in a large quiet house or on a walk with friendly people. It makes me think Buddha asked us to give up our materialistic life, including our attachments. Not because he wanted us to be lonely but because in realising that we really are alone, perhaps we will start seeking higher forms of connection; with more than just people; perhaps with the Universe and All Existence.
That must require a lot of effort and discipline for those who weren't born with it. So for us, in moments that we feel isolated, there is music and dance. There is Frank Sinatra. Abstract connection for those who feel alone.
Thank you Frank. It was nice Flying with you !
