Volume 1 cover gymnosperms and monocotyledons, volume 2 covers dicotyledons (Ranunculaceae to Dipsacaceae), and volume 3 covers dicotyledons (Compositae to Salicaceae). This is a revision and update of Catalogue of Nepalese Vascular Plants published in 1976 by the then Department of Medicinal Plants (now Department of Plants Resources). The present volume includes the list of plants preserved in Nepal's National Herbarium (coded as KATH), an undertaking of the Department of Plant Resources. The major work of the National Herbarium and Plant Laboratories is to collect, identify, preserve and publish information on Nepal's plant wealth such as Flora of Nepal.
The Catalogue of Nepalese Flowering Plants is prepared on the basis of the plant materials collected so far from the country by various plant collectors – national and foreign botanists since the Department started botanizing various parts of the country in 1960, and also joint scientific expeditions arranged with foreign institutions on various occasions. This has not only enriched the specimens in the herbarium, but it also presents a glimpse of the present condition of vegetation and floristic composition of the country. Further collections of plant specimens will be continued so as to make this catalogue complete and more comprehensive in the future.

'Soldier following orders'
Hechanova, however, denied earning a cent from the alleged "fixing" of bids. Instead, he said, they were given monthly "allowances" of up to P200,000. When asked what the "allowance" was for, Hechanova said it was probably so they would continue to do what they needed to do.
Prodded by Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, Hechanova admitted he felt "guilty" for trapping a would-be bidder inside an elevator.
"Did you admit what you did? Or did it appear as a mechanical problem? Wala naman sigurong 'beware bidders' [sign] sa elevators 'nyo. (Perhap there was no 'beware bidders' sign on your elevators)." asked Cayetano.
"Dumating siya 20 minutes late….Kasama pa niya nanay niya. Naawa nga ako eh. Kaya lang sundalo lang rin ako na kailangang sumunod sa utos (He came 20 minutes late with his mother. I felt bad. But I'm just a soldier who follows orders)," he said.
Hechanova claimed that they kept the bids for the controversial new city hall building close, prompting Cayetano to ask, "Ginawa n'yong close fight? Para exciting? (You made it a close fight? To make it exciting?)"
He responded, "Hindi naman. Para lang mas mababa ang Hilmarcs (Not really. Just so Hilmarcs would have a lower bid)."
Hechanova added that it was the Vice President himself who would reprimand him for delayed payments over the birthday cakes the city government gives to its senior citizens. The payment was allegedly meant for the Vice President's daughter, now-Senator Nancy Binay.
Hechanova's narrative repeated what another resource person, former Makati Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado told the Senate in the previous hearing. Mercado had said he earned from the construction of the building and said it was highly likely the Vice President did too, since he was the mayor while Mercado was just the vice mayor.
Mercado had also named Nancy Binay as the one who allegedly oversaw the birthday cakes for the city's senior citizens. Mercado, however, did not give the details of his accusations and said he would address them in "at the proper forum."
How good a soldier is Hechanova? He told the Senate he decided to leave the city around the end of 2009 over what he saw as the Vice President's "treachery." Then mayor Binay had promised Mercado that he would support his bid for city mayor, but the Vice President supported his son instead, for the mayoralty race.
Trillanes has recommended that Hechanova be placed under the Witness Protection Program (WPP).
Binay controversy
The Thursday hearing is the fourth held by the Senate over an alleged overpriced building in Makati – the third was the ocular inspection of the building.
The probe was sparked by a plunder case filed against Vice President Jejomar Binay and his son, Makati Mayor Junjun Binay.
The Binay family has dismissed the Senate hearings as politically motivated. Vice President Binay, in a press conference, had denied profitting from the building and said the city even saved P200 million from it. He is running for president in 2016 and is leading early presidential surveys.
Both Trillanes and Cayetano have expressed interest in seeking high office come 2016. The two senators have denied that the hearing is politically-motivated.
On Monday, September 1, the Senate conducted an ocular of the alleged overpriced building in Makati. During the inspection, Trillanes told reporters the building did not seem "world class." – Rappler.com

"In 30 seasons, I've never seen it this close," The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan said as he watched LDS duo April Gould and Sarah Williams run to the finish line on the first episode of the show.
With seconds separating Sarah and April from their competitors Dessie Mitcheson and Kayla Fitzgerald, it was uncertain which team would finish first and which team would be eliminated.
Though it was only the first episode, April and Sarah had already faced a lot in the competition. After landing in the show's first destination, Iceland, the duo struggled to find the location of their first challenge—ziplining 150 feet across a river canyon with the white water churning below.
But after retrieving the flag of Iceland pinned on the zip line cable, April and Sarah were faced with another daunting obstacle—choosing to live their faith or taking an easier route to a shot at the $1 million prize, literally. Both had to choose between a shot of liquor or gulping down cod liver oil.

"We told them that it was against our religion to drink alcohol and so they let us both drink the cod liver oil instead. It was disgusting," April told LDS Living.
But the race wasn't done yet. April and Sarah had to dash to the finish line, all the while neck-and-neck with Dessie and Kayla, another team on the show.
"This is as close as it gets, guys," Keoghan said on the show as the four contestants neared the finishing mat.
But, in a photo finish, April and Sarah inched ahead to take 10th place with Sarah barely landing on the mat before Dessie.
April and Sarah now move on to the next round of The Amazing Race. Follow their journey on ABC to find out if they make it past the next round.

Each Audio Fidelity Shinin' On SACD slip case includes a pair of 3-D glasses so the brilliant art work that we faithfully reproduced on front cover, back cover and center spread can be viewed as originally intended. In 1973 Grand Funk were riding high off the success of the An American Band hit album and tour. For the band's next album, Shinin' On, Grand Funk retained the extraordinary Todd Rundgren as producer. The result is that Shinin' On is widely considered pure Grand Funk and belongs standing among other great hard rock albums. The songs are tight, the vocals are excellent and Don Brewer, Mark Farner, Mel Schacher and Craig Frost took the band to another level. Shinin' On's best songs are the tracks that became the hit singles. The SACD opens with the dynamic title track augmented by Craig Frost's keyboard work and pumped-up behind Don Brewer's aggressive vocals the track infuses its hard-driving, spacy rock groove with some surprisingly ethereal vocal harmonies. The cover of the Carole King and Gerry Goffin penned "The Loco-Motion" turned that dance classic on its ear with a stomping beat and a screeching guitar lead from Mark Farner that shot the chuggin' pop remake straight to #1 on the Billboard singles chart and helped produce tremendous album sales.

The purpose of this study was to provide a description of adolescents' perceptions of their long-term hospitalization and post-hospitalization experience. The study sample included ten previously hospitalized adolescents (aged 13-18) who had been hospitalized long-term (6+ weeks) at Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, Twin Cities Unit, a pediatric orthopedic hospital. They were interviewed by telephone to get their perceptions of past hospital experiences. Study findings indicate that adolescent patients become very knowledgeable about life in the hospital and what is allowed and expected of them. Findings are consistent with the review of the literature which indicated that, giving up independence and accepting the care needed while hospitalized long-term is difficult for many. Overall, adolescents rated their long-term hospitalizations as somewhat positive to very positive. The intent of this study was to contribute to the understanding of adolescent hospitalization and adjustment during and after hospitalization.

In an earlier piece I wrote on why I think Robert Abela shows he does not have what it takes to manage the present crisis. He's showing signs of being just as inadequate for what comes later.
Consider the statement he made after meeting the construction lobby yesterday. "Construction industry has to elevate the country from this crisis," screamed TVM.
Now keep in mind that while many economic sectors are frozen or rapidly grinding to full stop, construction is largely unaffected by the current crisis. No projects have been ordered to stop, physical distancing on construction sites is, apparently, not required and works proceed if anything more efficiently with less traffic jams in between locations slowing equipment and materials down.
While there's too little barbering going on, or advertising, or catering, or partying, or fresh-vegetable purchasing, or tourist guiding, or coach driving, or cinema going, there's plenty of constructing. Some would say too much.
Robert Abela yesterday asked the construction industry to get ready for the calm before the present storm that is shutting everyone but them indoors. Construction is, says Robert Abela, going to be the foundation of our economic recovery after the present crisis.
There's so much which is wrong with that idea I hardly know where to begin. But it's my job to try.
Firstly, I think we're stretching the metaphorical analogy with the last great war to hit this country a bit too much now. Coronavirus is ravaging and all that but one thing it does not do is knock down buildings. So, whatever happens over the next weeks and months we will not have to spend the next 80 years debating whether to rebuild the opera house.
This only means that any construction that will be happening after the crisis will be exactly like the construction we had during it and before it: i.e. the reconstruction of sites that have been intentionally knocked down, the intensification of urban space transforming gardens and open spaces into concrete platforms for fletsijiet, and the encroachment on areas previously reserved for no or very specific development.
That's bad news all round.
Secondly, one of the major challenges we're going to have for a while after the coronavirus crisis subsides is excess capacity. It is reasonable to expect travel and tourism to take some time to return to pre-corona levels. That's because it is unreasonable to expect everyone to rush to their local airport the moment they are first allowed to go to the neighbourhood pub. Fear of travel will persist for a while and people will need time to recover from the economic hardship they are presently suffering before they feel they can afford to go on holiday.
So, if we're turning to the construction industry to build hotels or tourist facilities we're probably neglecting the existing resources we have and missing an opportunity to repurpose their use and redefine their roles in our economy.
Thirdly, if the construction industry has not been impacted by the current crisis then it is reasonable to assume that it is currently working at capacity. That's because it is also reasonable to assume that before the crisis hit developers were seeking to maximise the use of their assets. This means that if the construction industry is going to have a larger economic role after the crisis than it has now that it's practically the only industry working at full steam, we are going to have to bring in more machinery, more cranes, allow more cement processing plants, more inert waste dumping and more extraction to supply an even busier rate of activity.
There was a time when the Labour Party thought 50 18-metre articulated buses carrying 180 bus passengers each were a national catastrophe. But Robert Abela looks forward to more cranes like that is what we need.
Fourthly, if the government is telling the construction lobby to get ready for more activity, it must also be getting ready to deregulate the sector further. Because whatever husk of a planning framework that still exists, it is the only limiting factor that keeps the construction industry where it is and not at the boosted levels Robert Abela asked of it yesterday.
That means even less restriction on outside zone development, lower aesthetic and conversation standards, and in spite of the fact that the crisis is forcing us to pine after the last remaining urban open spaces Malta post-corona will see more of its open spaces choked up by construction.
And fifthly, a bit like the do-re-mi song in Sound of Music, we are linked back to the first reason. If we not only continue the horror of over-construction in this country but shift the gear to a higher speed, the few who will start to travel will have even less reason to consider Malta as their destination. We continue to behave as if there are no other options.
It would have been more reassuring if we knew Robert Abela was meeting airlines to discuss their needs in order to start operating in earnest as soon as possible. If we knew he was speaking to gaming and IT employers on an individual basis to ensure none of them are forced to shut down or relocate away from Malta. If we knew he was intervening to ensure that engineering manufacturers have a smooth supply chain and line of export even as airlines ground their fleets. If we knew he was engaging with farmers and local food producers to make sure all their local produce is purchased and distributed in spite of the breakdown in the conventional distribution channels.
It would have been more reassuring if we understood the state of play at banks and insurance providers. If we understood the state of health of our energy supply and how the government can extricate itself from a deal that is forcing us to pay for the next 16 years rates for our energy that were barely acceptable before the corona crisis but are absurd during it and who knows how they will impact our competitiveness in the brave new world that follows it.
Is this too complicated for Robert Abela? Does his Bob the Builder imagination stop at building blocks and concrete mixers?
Robert Abela may not a wartime don. But that doesn't make us look forward to his return as a peace time boss either.

Copenhagen Airport is located in the small town of Kastrup, Denmark. Originally called Kastrup Airport, it opened in 1925 and was one of the first private airports in the world.
31. ___ alla genovese : PESTO
The term "pesto" applies to anything made by pounding. What we tend to know as "pesto" sauce is more properly called "pesto alla genovese", pesto from Genoa in northern Italy.
32. Two-time opponent of 69-Down : ADLAI
Adlai Stevenson ran for president unsuccessfully against Eisenhower in 1952. Some years later he served under President Kennedy as Ambassador to the United Nations. He was always noted for his eloquence and had a famous exchange in a Security Council meeting during the Cuban missile crisis. He bluntly demanded that the Soviet representative on the council tell the world if the USSR was installing nuclear weapons in Cuba, saying. "Don't wait for the translation, answer 'yes' or 'no'!" and then followed up with, "I am prepared to wait for my answer until Hell freezes over!"
39. See 41-Across : FA FA MI MI RE RE DO
41. With 39-Across, a familiar tune : DO DO SOL SOL LA LA SOL
The solfa syllables are: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la & ti. The solfa scale was developed from a six-note ascending scale created by Guido of Arezzo in the 11th century. He used the first verse of a Latin hymn to name the syllables of the scale:
Ut queant laxis resonāre fibris
Mira gestorum famuli tuorum,
Solve polluti labii reatum,
Sancte Iohannes.
The "ut" in this scale was changed to "do", as it was a more "open ended" sound, and "si" was added (the initials of "Sancte Iohannes") to complete the seven-note scale. Later again, "si" was changed to "ti" so that each syllable began with a unique letter.
45. D.D.E.'s veep : RMN
President Richard Milhous Nixon used "Milhous" in his name in honor of his mother, Hannah Milhous who married Francis Nixon. Richard was born in a house in Yorba Linda, California. You can visit that house today as it is on the grounds of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. It's a really interesting way to spend a few hours if you ever get to Yorba Linda …
49. Cousin of a bittern : EGRET
At one time the egret was in danger of extinction as it was hunted for its feathers, which were used as plumes in hats.
Bitterns are wading birds in the heron family. Unlike most of their heron cousins, bitterns tend to have short necks.
55. CD follower : ROM
CD-ROM stands for "compact disc read only memory". The name is apt as one can read information from the disc (like a standard music CD for example), but cannot write to it. You can also buy a CD-RW, which stands for "compact disc – rewritable", with which one can read data and also write over it multiple times using a suitable CD drive.
57. Ballesteros of golf : SEVE
Seve Ballesteros was a very entertaining golfer from Spain, once ranked as the world's number one player. Sadly, Ballesteros died from brain cancer in 2011, at the age of 54.
60. Place for a butcher and two others : TUB
The nursery rhyme "Rub-a-Dub-Dub" dates back to at least 1798 when it was first published in London:
Three men in a tub,
And how do you think they got there?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
They all jumped out of a rotten potato,
'Twas enough to make a man stare.
66. Words sung to the beginning of 41-/39-Across : NOW I KNOW MY ABCS
"The Alphabet Song" was copyrighted in 1835 in the US. The tune that goes with the words is the French folk song "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman", used by Mozart for a set of piano variations. The same tune is used for the nursery rhyme "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
72. Part of a duelist's uniform : GAUNTLET
Gauntlets are gloves, usually with an extended cuff that extends to cover the forearm. Gauntlets were often made of metal and were used as part of a suit of armor. In days of yore a knight might "throw down the gauntlet", tossing one of his gauntlets to the ground symbolizing that he has issued a challenge. The prospective opponent would pick up the gauntlet if he accepted that challenge.
73. Run : BLEED
A dye might run, bleed.
74. Tulsa sch. : ORU
Oral Roberts University is a private school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was founded relatively recently, in 1963, by the late evangelist Oral Roberts.
75. Capital of Chile : PESO
The land of Chile has a very distinctive shape. It is a narrow strip that runs up the west coast of South America. The average width of the country is only a little over 100 miles, and its length is about 2,700 miles. Chile is touted as the longest country in the world, although I am not so sure what that means exactly. I mean, Russian extends about 4,800 miles from east-to west …
1. "CHiPs" co-star, 1977-83 : ESTRADA
Erik Estrada got his big break in the movie "Airport 1975", before playing Poncherello on the television show "CHiPs" from 1977-81.

5. "Bob ___ Greatest Hits" (1967 top 10 album) : DYLAN'S
As we all know, the real name of singer Bob Dylan is Robert Zimmerman. Zimmerman chose that particular stage name because he was greatly influenced by the poetry of Welshman, Dylan Thomas.
7. Former fliers : SSTS
The most famous Supersonic Transport (SST) was the Concorde, a plane that's no longer flying. Concorde had that famous "droop nose". The nose was moved to the horizontal position during flight to create the optimum aerodynamic shape thereby reducing drag. The nose was lowered during taxi, takeoff and landing, so that the pilot had better visibility. The need for the droop nose was driven largely by the delta-shaped wings. The delta wing necessitates a higher angle of attack at takeoff and landing than a conventional wing design, so the pilot needed the nose lowered in order that he or she could see the ground.
9. Solo in space : HAN
Han Solo was the space smuggler in "Star Wars" played by Harrison Ford. Ford was originally hired by George Lucas just to read lines for actors during auditions for "Star Wars", but over time Lucas became convinced that Ford was right for the pivotal role of Han Solo.
11. Monet medium : OIL
Claude Monet painted the harbor of Le Havre in the north of France in 1872, giving it the title "Impression, Sunrise". The painting is not a "realistic" representation of the scene in front of him, hence the name "impression". It was this very painting that gave rise to the name of the Impressionist movement.
14. Big name in kitchenware : EKCO
The EKCO brand of kitchenware dates back to 1888 when Edward Katzinger founded his company in Chicago, to make baking pans. The acronym EKCO stands for "Edward Katzinger Co".
17. Doo-___ : WOP
Doo-wop developed in the 1940s and can be described as a vocal-based R&B music. Even though the style has been around since the forties, the name doo-wop wasn't introduced until the early sixties.
23. Mindless followers : LEMMINGS
Lemmings are small rodents that live in cold climates, usually in or around the Arctic. There is a misconception that lemmings are prone to commit mass suicide. What is true is that like many animal species, lemmings are prone to mass migration, especially when the population in one area gets too great. Lemmings can swim, and will jump into a body of water in order to cross it. However, some lemmings may drown in the attempt. So, the lemmings jump en masse into a body of water to cross it, not to commit suicide. Then there was the famous Disney "White Wilderness" incident. Disney shot footage of lemmings "committing mass suicide" for the 1958 film "White Wilderness". In fact, the lemmings in the morbid scene were flown to the location of the shoot, and were launched off a cliff using a turntable. Despicable …
24. Rhône feeder : ISERE
The Isère river gives its name to the French Department of Isère, located partly in the French Alps. Isère gave its name to a somewhat famous ship called the Isère, which in 1885 delivered the Statue of Liberty from France to America, in 214 crates.
28. Resting place : MAUSOLEUM
One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was the grave of King Mausolus of Persia, known as the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. So, King Mausolus gave us our modern word "mausoleum": a building containing a burial chamber. The most famous mausoleum in the world has to be the Taj Mahal in Agra, India.
30. Resting place : SOFA
"Sofa" is a Turkish word meaning "bench".
33. Puerto Rico, e.g. : ISLA
Puerto Rico is located in the northeastern Caribbean (in the Atlantic Ocean), east of the Dominican Republic. The name "Puerto Rico" is Spanish for "rich port". The locals often call their island Borinquen, the Spanish form of "Boriken", the original name used by the natives.
40. Handy sort? : MIME
A mime might use his or her hands to get a message across, absent use of the voice.
50. Push back further : RETABLE
These "tabling" and "shelving" idioms drive me crazy, because they are always misused. If a topic is shelved, it is set aside. If a topic is tabled, it is brought "off the shelf" and put "on the table" for discussion. But, maybe it's just me …
56. Waikiki wear : MUUMUU
A muumuu is a loose dress that originated in Hawaii. Many muumuus are brightly colored and made of the same material as the ubiquitous Hawaiian shirt. The word "mu'umu'u" means "cut off" in Hawaiian.
61. ___ Mawr : BRYN
I used to live not far from Bryn-mawr (also "Brynmwar") in Wales, the town with the highest elevation in the country. Appropriately enough, "bryn mawr" is Welsh for "big hill". There is also a Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania (note the different capitalization) that is named after its Welsh counterpart. At the Pennsylvania location there's a Brynn Mawr college, a private women's school that was the first American university to offer graduate degrees to women.
64. An apple with a bite out of it, for one : LOGO
The logo of Apple, the computer company, is a silhouette of an apple with a bite taken out of it. The company's original logo featured a picture of Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree.
67. Pooh pal : OWL
Owl is one of the characters in A. A. Milne's classic children's tales featuring "Winnie-the-Pooh". Owl is depicted as the archetypal "wise old owl", but in the original books he tends not to exhibit very good judgment.
69. Two-time opponent of 32-Across : IKE
There doesn't seem to be any good reason why President Eisenhower was called "Ike". However, it is known that the nickname dates back to his childhood as his parents called him "Ike" as well as "Dwight".
70. Org. for Agassi : ATP
The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) is the organization that looks after the interests of male tennis professionals. The equivalent organization for women is the Women's Tennis Association (WTA).
"Open" is the autobiography of tennis professional Andre Agassi, published in 2009. An amazing revelation in the book is that Agassi's famous head of hair was actually a wig for much of his playing career. Can you imagine how hard it must have been to play tennis at his level with a rug stuck on?

When working on local changes and doing a update one can use the rebase extension to move the local changes to main branch to make it all look like a linear series of changes.
HG case-folding collision
Mercurial can handle file names that differ in case only in the repository. So egg.png and Egg.png is two different files. Trying to use that on windows as a working directory or merge will fail as windows see them as the same file. That can be solved by using the terminal in hg and rename one of the files and commit.

Undo local changes that have been commited
Use the stip command to remove a changeset and all its descendants from the repository. To remove one or more changeset in the middle use rebase command and then strip.
Move some local commits from one branch to another
With the rebase command it is possible to move draft changesets from one place to another. It can be used to make the history more linear and avoid extra merges.

Having something fit correctly is a matter of vast importance. This is especially true in the world of running.
Salamon knows this. The France-based running shoe company just launched a new line of made-to-order footwear. Available following a decade of research and testing, the S/LAB ME:sh range of trail running shoes are tailor-made around four keys areas: anatomical fit (foot shape), biomechanical fit (during movement), usage (where the shoes will be used) and preference (feel and cosmetics).
Following a 3D scan of a customer's foot, the upper of each ME:sh shoe is knitted together from a sock-like material called Twinskin. After, the shoe — which is made from 12 components versus the usual 50 — receives one of two foamy midsoles and one of three outsoles.
"The goal was to create footwear that is an extension of the body," said Salomon president Jean–Marc Pambet. "What is unique about ME:sh is that it is a combination of every piece of know-how we have in our footwear organization — from what we have inside our own walls to external know-how from our factory. You are never alone in creating something like this."
Currently available in France and Belgium, the made-to-order Salomons are slated to launch in the U.S. this fall with a price point of $300 per pair, according to Outside Magazine.
Salomon isn't the first footwear company using 3D printing to make custom kicks. Adidas has been experimenting with the technology, and Nike just recently rolled out a new platform called the Nike Maker's Experience that's churning out custom sneakers in 90 minutes flat.
As for custom shoes for the running world, however, Salomon may be your best bet. To stay in the loop about the upcoming drop, sign up for their newsletter here.

Volvo and parent company Geely have collaborated to form a brand new car company called "Lynk & Co". The company also introduced their first model called "01″ and it will be manufactured in China, although the crossover has actually been engineered and designed in Sweden.
In terms of dimensions, the new crossover is 4.53 meters long, 1.85 meters wide and it stands 1.65 meters tall, with a generous wheelbase of 2.73 meters. It comes with its own unique styling where the front end, for example, boasts a high, vertical fascia with a narrow grille and small headlights popping out of the arches and hood. At the rear there is a prominent Lynk & Co badge, rooftop spoiler, dual tailpipes and oddly-shaped taillights.
Underneath the compact SUV's design lies Volvo's Compact Modular Architecture (CMA). Since it's going to use the CMA platform, power will likely come from a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine or a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit teamed with a dual-clutch transmission. Power is sent to the front wheels or all four through an all-wheel-drive system. All of Lynk & Co.'s vehicles, including the 01 SUV, will be available with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, while full electric version is also a possibility.
Vehicle sharing is a key feature of the 01, as Lynk & Co. wants the compact SUV to have more than just the traditional buy or lease options. It has its own dedicated app store where the owner will be able to share a "digital lock" that gives access to the car with family, coworkers and friends, and set a "share" time when they can use the car. This type of feature will also be offered by Volvo starting next year when a smartphone app will effectively replace the car's key on select models.
The 01 will go on sale in China in 2017 and later on it will be launched in United States and Europe. It will be sold exclusively online, with the same global price and will be delivered (and picked up when in need of repairs) to customers' doors. Since a majority of sales will take place online, Lynk & Co cars will be very competitively priced as its cuts dealerships out of the equation.
Following 01, Lynk & Co will introduce new models in the years to come called 02 and 03 and so forth.

Press release from The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club [via Ammoland.com]: In a blockbuster announcement yesterday, Governor Christie conditionally vetoed two pieces of anti-gun legislation (A3689 and S816), imposing dramatic conditions that would change them into pro-gun measures establishing shall-issue right-to-carry and repealing New Jersey's 2002 "smart gun" law mandate with no strings attached. Copies of the vetoes are available here and here.
The "conditional veto" procedure allows the governor to reject legislation that reaches his desk and propose a re-written version to the legislature. If the legislature concurs in the conditions imposed by the governor, then the measure as re-written becomes law immediately. Otherwise, the legislation dies.
"Governor Christie has made a bold and defiant statement to the legislature in support of the Second Amendment," said ANJRPC Executive Director Scott Bach. "Not only has he rejected their medieval schemes to block self-defense, but he has fired back in a way that forces them to choose squarely between citizen empowerment or victimization in the post-Orlando era of terror attacks on U.S. soil."
"One inescapable truth is that government cannot protect you when evil strikes," continued Bach. "The only solution is citizen empowerment, and it is the legal, moral and Constitutional imperative of government to facilitate and not block self-defense."
A3689 (Right to Carry)
This spring, the State Police promulgated new regulations on right to carry that were recommended by Governor Christie. The regulations would have allowed those facing "serious threats" to satisfy the near-impossible "justifiable need" standard to qualify for a carry permit – an incremental improvement in right to carry.
Outraged by the new regulations, and distraught that more "commoners" might be able to protect themselves, anti-gun legislators (who themselves enjoy the armed protection of State House security) fast-tracked resolutions this spring to kill the new regulations before they were even formally adopted.
They invoked an obscure procedural trick in the state constitution allowing the legislature to invalidate regulations that conflict with legislative intent. But the legislature never expressed any intent as to what constitutes "justifiable need" – it is undefined in the statute, and the current definition was first created by the courts, and then adopted imprecisely by the State Police in their administrative regulations. The new regulations now at issue seek to fix the original imprecision and make the regulations consistent with court opinion.
So it is highly debatable whether there is even a conflict with legislative intent that would allow the legislature to invoke the obscure constitutional procedure to invalidate the new regulations. Legislative leaders are aware of this, which is why they introduced A3689 to begin with – it's a stunt to fabricate legislative intent where none existed previously. It seeks to take the current imprecise administrative regulation defining and severely limiting justifiable need and cement it into state statute for all time.
By doing so, the bill tries to retroactively "install" legislative intent into the statute. A3689 was sponsored by Assemblyman Louis Greenwald (D6).
Governor Christie's conditional veto of A3689 rejects this attempt to freeze the definition of justifiable need for all time, and instead completely eliminates justifiable need as a requirement to obtain a carry permit in the first place! It would turn New Jersey into a shall-issue state, and Governor Christie specifically calls for New Jersey to become shall-issue – making him the first governor in state history to both acknowledge and try to implement shall-issue carry!
Here is a key quote from Governor Christie's veto message on A3689:
"For decades, law-abiding residents of New Jersey have had their Second Amendment right to self-protection burdened by gun laws that are among the most unreasonable in the country. . . . Rather than doubling down on the unreasonable requirements for law-abiding residents of New Jersey to obtain a concealed carry permit, I propose having New Jersey join the 42 other states that have adopted a "shall-issue" standard for approving such applications."
S816 Analysis (Smart Guns)
New Jersey's 2002 "smart gun" law, when triggered, would become a ban on sale or transfer of every conventional handgun ever made. It mandates that only "smart" handguns can be purchased or sold once the state Attorney General determines that there is a viable smart gun for sale anywhere in the U.S.
The law backfired, because it tipped the hand of the national gun ban movement, revealing that they were going to use technology an excuse to ban conventional handguns nationwide as in New Jersey. That made the smart gun idea wildly unpopular among gun owners, and the technology has not significantly developed since.
Under national pressure to do something to remove this perceived impediment to the development of smart guns, State Senator Loretta Weinberg (D37) introduced S816 to supposedly "repeal" the smart gun law.
Although the bill would remove the 2002 ban on conventional handguns, it is badly tainted because it swaps in a new mandate in its place, forcing every New Jersey firearms dealer to stock and display smart guns for sale – essentially compelling market acceptance of the technology instead of letting the free market decide.
The effort to coerce smart guns onto the market by bullying dealers suggests that politicians will be back with their ban on all conventional handguns soon after an artificial market for the new and unproven technology is created. The legislation would also create a new politically-controlled commission to approve smart guns for sale, eliminating the more neutral and objective state Attorney General from that decision.
[For additional background, see Scott Bach's editorial in The Record, and this detailed ANJRPC alert on the subject from late last year.]
Governor Christie's conditional veto of S816 would remove the new dealer mandate, eliminate the politically-controlled commission, and turn the legislation into what it should have been in the first place – a clean and simple repeal of the mandate / handgun ban from the 2002 smart gun law.

He secured the terrified friendship of the French king by despatching twelve assassins to cut down before his eyes the minister who had troubled it. Familiar as the age was with treason and rapine and blood, it recoiled from the cool cynicism of his crimes, and believed the wrath of Heaven to have been revealed against the union of the worst forms of evil in Fulk the Black.
He added, however, that he loved her in spite of her follies, and that if she would formally abjure them he would as formally offer her his hand. They say that women like to be snubbed by military men. I don't know, I'm sure; I don't know how much pleasure, on this occasion, was mingled with Anastasia's wrath.
Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
Am I sure that the mystics of old duped them selves or their pupils? This, then, this slight wand, light as a reed in my grasp, this, then, was the instrument by which Margrave sent his irresistible will through air and space, and by which I smote himself, in the midst of his tiger-like wrath, into the helplessness of a sick man's swoon!
In the meantime, Nancy's wrath generally evaporated with the smoke of the pipe a circumstance which Ned well knew; for after she had sucked it until it emitted a shrill, bubbling sound, like that from a reed, her brows, which wore at other times an habitual frown, would gradually relax into a more benevolent expression the parenthetical curves on each side of her mouth, formed by the irascible pursing of her lips, would become less marked the dog or cat, or whatever else came in her way, instead of being kicked aside, or pursued in an underfit of digressional peevishness, would be put out of her path with gentler force so that it was, in such circumstances, a matter of little difficulty to perceive that conciliation would soon be the order of the day.
It was all too true to be disputed, and the unlucky man had to pocket his wrath with the best grace he was able, and all three faced to the right about, and took up their line of march for the highway. In consequence of all the various delays, it was about three-quarters of an hour after Eliza had laid her child to sleep in the village tavern that the party came riding into the same place.
It was a powerful temptation to divulge the truth, and her heart whispered that Bertie's safety would be secured by removing all jealous incentive to his pursuit; but she remembered the fair, sweet, heroic woman who had dared her fiance's wrath in order to unbar those prison doors; who had faithfully and delicately thrown over the convict the mantle of her friendship; and the loyal soul of the prisoner strangled its weakness.
It seems that this illustrious emperor, in a fit of passion, ordered the slaughter of the people of Thessalonica, because they had arisen and killed some half-a-dozen of the officers of the government, in a sedition, on account of the imprisonment of a favorite circus-rider. The wrath of Theodosius knew no bounds.
Then when the men, dazed from surprise, though not seriously hurt, discovered that their prey was gone and that a stranger from the higher walks of life had frustrated their plans they fell upon him in their wrath.
M. Jolly saw his meaning, and his surprise turned to indignation. He told Derues bluntly that he did not believe his story, that until he was convinced of its truth he would not part with the power of attorney, and showed the confounded grocer the door. Derues hastened home filled with wrath, and took counsel with his friend Bertin.

I've explained the basics with Multi-Hooping in Lesson 25, about icons and options. Because there are multiple ways to use these options, I will show them step-by-step in this lesson and the next, to the actual embroidery of a design.
You will need to practise in order to master Multi-Hooping: setting everything manually means you will have to be sure what options are at your disposal, the different colors that indicate what you are doing, overlaps, markings etc.
I have placed a large flower wreath/design on my Embroidery Canvas workspace. This design is too large to be made with one hooping, even with my Jumbo Hoop .
It will show when placing the largest hoop on top of the design: my B770QE has a blanc spot to the left: I cannot use that part due to the space between the needle and the machine. Via 'Show Hoop' the hoop you've used the last will show.
Right click on the icon to 'Select a Hoop' if you want to change hoops: the largest hoop for BERNINA machines is the Jumbo Hoop. If you don't own a BERNINA machine, choose the largest hoop for your type of machine, to minimize the number of hoopings.
I have selected presser foot #26 (Embroidery Foot). You don't have to check 'Automatic Centering' with Hoop position, because that will be disabled as soon as you use Multi-Hooping.
When clicking on 'Multi-Hooping' – left toolbar 'Toolboxes' – many functions with the upper toolbars are disabled. You are working in a special modus: you cannot change anything with the design at this point. So be sure editing the design is ready, before using Multi-Hooping.
Immediately the design changes: there will be at least one 'hoop' showing as a dotted line, which is the maximum range of the Jumbo Hoop I have placed on top of my design. The flowers that are colored green are placed within the safety boundaries of the Jumbo Hoop. All objects of the design that are placed OUTSIDE the Jumbo Hoop are colored black.
Looking at my design, I will have to use 3 hoopings with the current setting if I leave it this way: the center part, and left and right of the current hooping.
To be sure hoopings will be correctly aligned, I will have to add Registration Marks. Two sets of marks will be generated in overlapping areas: one set appears after stitching the first objects of the design with the first hooping, the next set will be made before the actual stitching on the second hooping. V8 will set them for me: I can set this by using 'Settings', then 'Options' with the Menu Bar. Using the Tab 'Multi-Hoopng', I can choose to have three different sizes of Registration Marks. 'Large' is set by default, which is the best option with most hoopings.
The larger the margin, the greater the distance between the Registration Mark and the maximum embroidery area of the hoop.
This makes it easier to align, but you will have to check if it is done right. Use 'OK' to confirm, and use 'Preview Hoopings' to see if any markings are added.
Click and hold the mouse button – hovering over Hooping 1 (when there are multiple hoopings visible in the docker 'Hooping Sequence', to see what will be embroidered within that hoop. The box you've clicked turns yellow and the actual embroidery is clearly visible. What is NOT visible belongs to a different hooping.
If you enlarge the docker 'Hooping Sequence' by pulling the left bar, you can clearly see the Registration Marks. If you don't see any markings, your overlap could be too small. You can enlarge the overlap by moving one of the hoopings. The minimal overlap is 3 cm.
You can manually add markings: use the left toolbar 'Toolboxes', 'Digitize' and use 'Basting Stitch Marker'. You can place this in any corner or position.
You can also use 'Insert Graphic Marker', by using the option 'Insert Graphic Marker'. V8 has set 3 .png's for you to choose from. It helps sometimes to have more markers for better placement. You can use stickers on top of these markings on your fabrics, or pins, for exact placement with the next hooping.
Did you see that V8 automatically chooses to make the embroidery with 2 hoopings? I didn't select that, but will have to adjust it still, because not all is selected the right way. If you look closely, you can see parts of objects from different hoops with this setting. V8 chooses the best settings, but I still want to improve this – making complete flowers or leaves and stems, and not parts at one hooping and the next part on the another hooping.
You can add more hoopings, but it is important to have as few as possible, to save time and effort. To see if you can make the current (2) hoopings more efficient, click and drag the center marking of a hoop to a new position. The moment you are shifting the hoop you are 'holding', a new line appears, showing you where the new position will be. Click and drag, then release and the hoop is set.
The black leaf that shows indicate that – even after moving the hoop to a new position – not all objects are included. So placing the hoop as it is, still will need more adjustment.
Using 'Automatically Add Hoops', V8 places just two hoops: different dotted colored lines to see the difference between hooping 1 and hooping 2. Calculations are done automatically, which means that all objects are covered within 2 hoopings (with my example), but not all is done properly, as you can see the red and blue lines are breaking through objects, which will result in partially embroidered flowers with the first hooping, and finishing them with the other.
Also a dialog 'Calculate Hoopings' opens, which tells me at this time, it all will result in 2 hoopings, and that all objects are covered within these hoopings. Use 'OK' to set.
Check that by using 'Preview Hoopings' again: Hooping 1 and Hooping 2 are showing.
Enlarging the docker 'Preview Hoopings' shows that – with Hooping 1 – there are still parts/objects of flowers with this first hooping, that will be largely made with hooping 2. It is good to remember that V8 doesn't split parts of objects, but whole objects, so if you see parts of a flower it is still a whole object.
Another option is to change the position of both hoopings, to prevent objects being partially embroidered on both hoops: change the direction/setting of the hoops. You can select a hoop and rotate via 45° or via 'Rotate'. I have used the last option, adding a – (minus) with the number of rotation to rotate to the right. This will only work if a hoop is selected!
With the actual embroidery, you just have to place the fabrics in the right position, and 2 hoopings are sufficient.
If you don't own such a large (Jumbo) hoop, choose the largest available, and select that hoop in V8. First, leave the option 'Multi-Hooping', by choosing 'Edit' with the left toolbar. Now all icons on the top toolbars are available again. Return to 'Multi-Hooping'.
The first thing to do is to move both hoops outwards: the red to the right and the blue to the left, to 'catch' all objects on the edge of the wreath with these hoops. The objects within the hoops turned green – the black objects will need to be covered in extra hoopings.
I can choose to add hoopings with 'Automatically Add Hoops': V8 has given me 5 hoopings. Now all objects turned green = covered by the hoopings. Can you see that Hooping 3 (R1) just catches a single object (stem of a flower)? This is not the best option, but that's what you get if you don't manually add hoopings. So… Undo and try again.
Using 'Add Hoop', a 3rd hooping is added, to the right of it all, with a different colored dotted line (green). It is placed randomly, so I can move it to a new position.
Selecting this 3rd hoop, rotating it 45° with two clicks to place this hoop horizontally, is the first step to improvement.
Still selected, click and drag the 3rd hoop to the bottom of the wreath. Make sure it covers all objects: they will turn green.
Add a 4th hoop, place this horizontally (2x 45°), and move it to the top of the design, to include all remaining objects. Move the hoops to their best position and use 'Preview Hoopings' until you are ok with the placement. Save it under a different filename for future use.
The design is finished if you are satisfied with placement. I have changed it all back to using my Jumbo Hoop, 2 hoopings, placing them at an angle of 45°. To be sure it will be transferred in the right way to your machine, use 'Writ to Card' – a new screen appears 'Hooping sequence – to machine'.
The two hoopings are placed separate: the 1st box – upper left – has a blue background = selected. The right hooping, which will be done first (red colored lines) is selected.
If you want to check the 2nd hooping, just click on the box below the 1st: the 2nd hooping is showing, with details to the right.
When using 'Send Now', the box 'Device Selection' appears, so you can send the file to your USB stick. I am using 'EXP': both hoopings must be sent separate.
Just to check: yes: they are both on my USB stick: a.BMP, .EXP and .INF: 1st hooping as 2-01, 2nd hooping 2-02. Now I can take the USB stick to my machine and embroider.
Via Print Preview I can print it all on a reduced size (25%, the first setting I have chosen), but for the right placement, I will need printouts on the ACTUAL size = 100%. So after setting this via 'Options', I've also checked the box 'Hooping Sequence', to help with the hooping sequence.
Before the actual printout, I've received a WARNING: V8 notifies me that there are 18 pages to be printed. The software tells me that I can use fewer pages, but I WANT these numbers – I can tape them together to have a life-size example of my embroidery. I will use that for placement on the actual fabric.
TIP: Check with all objects how to place them with a minimum amount of hoopings, before choosing Multi-Hooping. Sometimes it is worth your effort, to see if a complete design can be altered: even with the slightest changes it can improve Multi-Hooping. Combined objects can be broken/set apart, or be split.
EXTRA BY POPULAIR DEMAND: How about Appliqúe, which is too large for one hooping?
When making a large appliqué, V8 did add more hoopings, via 'Automatically Add Hoops', but still only 2 were visible = 1st red, 2nd blue,. In practice, it meant THREE hoopings.
That's because appliqué workt differently from regular embroidery, with placement lines, cutting lines, tack line and the Statin Stitches for the final edges. All actions – up to the placement of fabric and the tack line for setting the fabric onto the stabilizer – are done first, last the Satin Stitches. That means a 3rd hooping needs to be done for the final stitches.
These Satin Stitches have to cover the entire design at once, so that's the 3rd placement. The design has been given a SPLIT LINE: pink line, which divides the embroidery. If you look closely, you can see a tack line with Hooping 1 (Inspanraam 1 with the picture), so at that point you have placed the fabric already – cut this to the right size. (If you are using a printout (Print Preview), set your numbers at 100%, to get an actual size template). It will cover the first hooping, but should also cover the second hooping as well, as you are cutting the fabric (for the star above) in one piece.
With multiple applications=fabrics, it all depends if a particular fabric fits in one hooping, and the next in the other, or if a piece is covered by 2 hoopings. Just cut the fabric at the complete size of the template, and let the 2nd (or 3rd etc) hooping catch the fabric with the tack line. Finally a last hooping will make the final stitches.
Keep in mind that your embroidery machine actually will make the Reference Markers. Last with the 1st hooping, first with the 2nd hooping but also at the end of that, if there is a 3rd hooping. You will not find this information with your printout, but it shows on your machine. You can use a contrasting thread for the markings, to make them stand out.
Next time, I will embroider my wreath, because the actual embroidery is important too. See you then!
Happy stitching!

Flowers: Pink blossoms, blue sky, white cloud
Lots of flowers, this week. That's my theme, because it's spring and the colorful, beautiful flowers are blossoming all over.
Many photography books make an issue out of capturing the moment: A horrible (technically) photo can be a great if you just happen to catch that one awesome moment in time that will never happen, again.
I just happened to catch this photo at just the right moment, with the cloud echoing and continuing the patterns of the tree. Maybe not awesome, but I like it.

Fix before features
I really, really want to like this program. It appears as if your features are becoming equivalent or better than Artisteer. However, your UI is ugly, awkward and sometimes unclear. Not great for a DESIGN tool. Font selection is a mess. It would be nice if the code you output was better formatted, but I'd bet that you'd see a significant increase in interest if the UI was improved. Hope I don't sound harsh--I'm really pulling for you.
Robert McGee commented
Stock images, while somewhat helpful do not adapt to containers by default as they should. Simple editing functionality such as Select All, Copy, Paste do not work or exist as expected or do not preserve formatting such as when copying and pasting text or replacing images. Multiple viewports beyond 3 are non-existent. I could go on but this note would be very long.
It should be apparent what needs to happen. It certainly is to the company's benefit and will the current competition a run for its money.
Robert McGee commented
I completely agree with this. The interface is painfully dated looking. For example, the Effects tool is useless and confusing, not even the manual explains its purpose. The multi-layer navigation and menu structure for changing colors, images, styles, and fonts is unnecessarily complex.
Thanks for your feedback, we are already working on improving the User Interface for the next major version.

It is with great pleasure that CO-LaN congratulates Dr William BARRETT for achieving the senior level position of Senior Research Engineer at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, within the Office of Research and Development (ORD), Center for Environmental Solutions and Emergency Response (CESER), Land Remediation and Technology Division (LRTD), Environmental Decisions Analytics Branch (EDAB).
While the process through which the Technical Qualification Board gathered at US EPA reviewed the work and promotion qualification of Dr BARRETT remains confidential, CO-LaN sincerely hopes that the impressive work Bill carried out on CAPE-OPEN over the last 15 years or so had some weight in the promotion decision.
Just a few reminders:
Bill was directly instrumental in organizing the first CAPE-OPEN public conference in the U.S., later designated as the 1st CAPE-OPEN US Conference on August 24-25, 2005. Dr Bertrand BRAUNSCHWEIG, then President of CO-LaN, and Dr Michel PONS, CO-LaN Chief Technology Officer, made presentations there as well as many other organizations did plus the conference was well attended in Cincinnati, Ohio. It gave credibility and visibility to CO-LaN and CAPE-OPEN in the U.S., leading to a recognition through AIChE for example.
Bill served as instructor to several training courses organized by CO-LaN in Europe and the U.S., for example at the CAPE-OPEN 2007 Annual Meeting in Heidelberg, Germany, at the AIChE 2007 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the CAPE-OPEN 2008 Annual Meeting in Cambridge, UK, at the CAPE-OPEN 2009 Annual Meeting in Freising, Germany and the latest one at the CAPE-OPEN 2016 Annual Meeting in Pullach, Germany,
Bill developed a CAPE-OPEN Processing Modelling Environment relying on CAPE-OPEN for its architecture and interoperability: the Metal Finishing Facility Pollution Prevention Tool (MFFP2T), for the metal finishing industry. This work was presented in a paper at ESCAPE-13 and later published in Computer Aided Chemical Engineering.
Bill received the CAPE-OPEN 2008 Award in recognition of his activity to ease the use of the CAPE-OPEN standard by the industry.
Bill developed with Jasper van BATEN the initial concepts of the CAPE-OPEN Flowsheet Monitoring interface specification and prototyped an implementation of it
Bill has been the leader of the Methods & Tools Special Interest Group at CO-LaN since October 2009. The Methods & Tools SIG has developed and released an impressive list of Errata & Clarifications documents, the Flowsheet Monitoring interface specification and is supervising the COBIA development project.
And the list is not ending here.
Once again, congratulations to Bill!
