With the introduction of Blue Essence and the new account leveling system which allows going beyond level 30, riot made a great leap forward in the right direction. Additionally, players receive capsules containing champion shards instead of Influence Points. I will explain why the new account leveling system is excellent, especially for new players. So let's start the with a simple comparison. We take a level 30 account as our test subject here: Old: • •
around 16000-17000 IP 1 Loot Chest and a Key (which had either Ashe or Garen in it)
New : • • • • • •
25+ Champions Capsules Ashe, Garen, and Brand at levels 2,3,4 Random Summoner Icon at level 20 Random Ward Skin at level 25 a gemstone every 50 levels after reaching level 150 (150, 200 and so on) emotes
Now I'm going to explain why the new system is even better than it looks at first. If you would open every capsule and then disenchant every single champion shard, you would receive around 20000 BE. That is already 3-4k more than with the old system, but there is even more. Instead of disenchanting every single champion shard, you should upgrade the champions you planned on playing anyway. Additionally, you need the cheap 450 / 1350 BE champs to get the 20 required champs to play ranked games, and most of them will be in your loot. So let me give you another example: There are currently 13 450 BE champions if you upgrade the shard you received each champion costs 270 BE instead of 450. Now let's upgrade two 1350BE shards and two 3150BE shards (very realistic as you get much more out of the capsules). So you need three more champions, and you've got 11090 BE left which you can than spend on the more expensive champions and save again if you got lucky enough to receive the champion you wanted to buy on this smurf anyway. Savings: 13*270 = 3510 (instead of 5850) that is a saving of 2340 BE 2*810 = 1620 (instead of 2700) that is a saving of 1080 BE 2*1890= 3780 (instead of 6300) that is a saving of 2520 BE Heres the list of how much it costs to upgrade champion shards from each price category: • • • • •
270 BE for 450BE champs 810 BE for 1350 BE champs 1890 BE for 3150 BE champs 2880 BE for 4800 BE champs 3780 BE for 6300 BE champs
for all the non-mathematicians that haven't already figured it out, the upgrade costs are equal to 60% of the original champion price. Conclusion The new system is much better for newer players and good for everyone who wants as many of his favorite champions on his smurf as possible. The uncapped leveling system also feels more rewarding for players who have followed played League of Legends and had no progress for years (other than in ranked). On top of that active players get rewarded with emotes, gemstones and more loot. If you are looking to take advantage of those additions feel free to buy lol smurfs.

UAE is leading the world in renewable energy, says minister
The UAE is considered among the world's leading countries in areas of renewable energy and attaches paramount importance to the development of efficient solutions in this field
Renewable energy lies at the heart of the transformation strategy adopted by the UAE to diversify its economy and meet the growing demand over energy, Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al-Zeyoudi, minister of climate change and environment has stated.
The minister made the statements while addressing the World Scientific and Engineering Congress, WSEC, 2017, which was held recently in Astana, Kazakhstan, under the theme "Future Energy: innovative scenarios and methods of their implementation".T
The UAE is among the key partners of the international event where it is presented through one of the exhibition's largest pavilions, reported WAM
The UAE is considered among the world's leading countries in areas of renewable energy and attaches paramount importance to the development of efficient solutions in this field, the minister added.
"Over the past decade we have deployed large-scale renewable energy schemes at the local and global levels," he said, noting that the UAE capital plays host to the permanent headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency, IRENA, and organises an array of conferences and events of relevance around the year, most notable of which is the World Future Energy Summit, WFES, in January of every year.
He pointed out to the world's largest independent solar power plant to be built in Abu Dhabi at a total cost of AED3.2 billion under the name "Noor Abu Dhabi," which means "the light of Abu Dhabi" in Arabic. The project, which will generate 1.177 megawatts from the second quarter of 2019, is part of the emirate's bid to diversify its economy and provide alternative sources of energy at competitive prices while following the best possible environmental and technological practices.
"The growing interest being displayed in the renewable energy sector reflects the UAE's commitment to diversify sources of sustainable energy and translates the prudent vision of the UAE wise leadership to ensure an investment-conducive environment at the renewable energy sector with the overall goal of propelling economic growth." The minister shed light on the UAE Energy Strategy for 2050, saying that it targets an energy mix that combines renewable, nuclear and clean energy sources to meet the UAE's economic requirements and environmental goals, ensuring a comfortable economic environment for growth across the sectors.
The UAE National Plan for Climate Change for the years 2017-2050, recently announced by the country, places deployment of clean energy sources and enhancing efficient use of energy on top of its main priorities, the minister added.
He reiterated the UAE's keenness to continue to adopt and deploy sources of renewable energy, citing in this regard the country's hosting of Expo 2020 Dubai under the theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future. "The location of Expo 2020 will get 50 percent of its power from renewable energy sources, most notable of which is Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park," said the minister.

New EU Dying Light Release Date
Following the recent announcement that the physical version of Dying Light would be delayed, we now have a new release date.
From 27th Feb you will be able to pick up a physical copy of the game, a one month delay over the digital and US versions.
On the bright side, it has been announced that the "Be a Zombie" mode, will be freely available for everyone. Previously this was a pre-order bonus, so not a bad gesture.
Depending on the reviews, I might have to grab a copy as I do love my zombie games.

Physical Copies Of Dying Light Delayed Outside Of US
If you live in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia or Australia and were looking forward to playing Dying Light Jan 27th, unless you download it digitally you are going to be disappointed.
Techland has announced that the physical edition of the game has been delayed, presumably due to printing/stock issues. No new release date has been given but the delay has been quoted as "short", so hopefully the wait won't be too long.
The game is £54.99 on the X1 store if you simply cannot wait. Alternatively, its £34.99 for a physical copy from Simplygames…

Dying Light Coming Jan 2015
Since its delay, and indeed the announcement of the very similar Dead Island 2, Dying Light has sort of gone off the radar a bit, which is a shame as the game didn't look all that bad.
Well, Techland has finally given us a new release date and its actually a bit closer than I was expecting. Just scraping into the month of January, gamers will be able to pick up this open world zombie game from 30th Jan 2015, ideal for those looking for a new game post-Christmas.
Dying Light will support 4 player co-op and looks to blend the zombie bashing goodness of Dead Island with the parkour action of Mirrors Edge. From the gameplay footage we have seen so far it looks like a nice combination.

9 Mins of Dying Light Gameplay
Another 9 minutes of gameplay footage for Dying Light has emerged online.
While the game doesn't really appeal to me, I'm impressed how much they are advertising this game. Plus the day/night cycle sounds like a cool concept.

The Weston family is to pocket another £50mln from its Associated British Foods PLC (LON:ABF) cash cow after the Primark owner upped its half-year pay-out to shareholders.
Through their Wittington Investments vehicle, relatives of AB Foods' founder, Garfield Weston, own 431.5mln shares or 54.5% in the £20bn FTSE 100-firm.
READ: Five things Primark is doing right
On Tuesday, AB Foods increased its interim dividend by 3% to 12.05p a share, meaning the Westons will receive £52mln when the divi is paid out in July.
Some of the money will go to the Garfield Weston Foundation, although a chunk will go to the family members themselves.
Group profits slump
The higher pay-out comes despite a 15% dive in group pre-tax profits to £515mln (H1 17/18: £603mln) in the six months ended 2 March. Revenue edged 1% higher to £7.53bn (H1 17/18: £7.42bn).
Much of the fall was down to a £65mln writedown in its Allied Bakeries division following the loss of its largest contract. There was also a £14mln charge related to AB Foods' pension scheme.
Allied is part of ABF's grocery division, which posted a 5% jump in adjusted operating profits to £167mln (H1 17/18: £159mln), with the new Twinings Cold Infuse teas going down well, particularly with shoppers.
Primark bucks high street gloom (again)
The all-important retail business, which is home to ABF's star asset, Primark, posted a 25% leap in adjusted operating profits to £426mln (H1 17/18: £341mln), thanks to improved margins.
Sales in the UK were 2.3% ahead of the previous year, with like-for-likes up 0.6% as the low-cost clothes retailer bucked the high street gloom once again.
Despite recent conflicting reports about the launch of an online service at Primark, there was no mention of click and collect or anything of that ilk in the result statement.
Growth in those two arms was more than offset by continued falls in sugar, which just about broke-even in the first half (H1 17/18: £106mln) as low prices weigh on profitability.
Sugar profits to pick up
There was some good news though: profits from the sugar business are expected to start rising again from now on after months of declines.
"This is a robust set of results," said chief executive George Weston, who repeated his expectations that full-year earnings will be in-line with 2018.
"Profit at AB Sugar was substantially reduced but, from this period, we expect our sugar profitability to improve. The strong underlying growth in Grocery profits demonstrates good momentum."
He added: "Primark delivered excellent profit growth, driven by further development of our customer experience and selling space expansion."
By late morning trading, shares in AB Foods had gained 2.4% to 2,567p in early deals.
In a note to clients, analysts at Liberum Capital said the group's first-half earnings were solid, broadly in-line with its expectations, notably with Primark performing well in the UK.
Liberum repeated a 'buy' rating and 3,070p price target on AB Foods' shares.

Browsing through my archives last night, I came across the images I took at Newells Paddock Nature and Conservation Reserve, located about 4 kms (2.3 miles) along the river path, around this time in 2017.
Photo below was actually made on 26th March 2017 and is a great view of this remarkable area.
Photo taken in summer of NEWELLS PADDOCK NATURE RESERVE main pond. Melbourne city in the far upper right background.
You can read a little more of the history behind this wetlands and conservation area here.
It's Rounded Noon Flower season now as I noticed a tiny patch at the opposite end of my apartment building last Wednesday (left).
In the meantime, here's a few images made in 2017 to remind long-time followers of the stunning display of Pigface (or Rounded Noon Flowers) below. These fowers have various names so you might know them by a different one.
I'm hoping to go back again this year to photograph more of the bird life, but since it's a bit far from the bus stop, it might have to be a taxi journey there and back, as I can't walk as far as I used to pre hip osteoarthritis. I'd rather use my limited walking range to walk around the wetlands and reserve, than waste it on walking from the bus stop through ordinary residential areas to actually get there.
I did walk home along the river path back when I first moved to this western suburb of Melbourne to live in 2016, so I know by the walking trail signposts exactly how far it is.
Not far for normal healthy fit people to walk, but nowadays, too far for me.
In the meantime, here's a sample of that stunning splash of colour on the ground at Newells Paddock.
This area is also where I was so engrossed with the camera up to my eye, I didn't notice a White-faced Heron walk up to about 10 feet away from where I was standing.

Materials Centre CRUPPAIL project is shortlisted for Surface Engineering Association (SEA) Biannual Industry Award
The Materials Centre project 'Cadmium Replacement Using Pulse Plating And Ionic Liquids' (CRUPPAIL) has been shortlisted for an Environmental achievement award at The Surface Engineering & Heat Treatment 2018 Awards.
The CRUPPAIL project intends to produce a more environmentally friendly replacement for cadmium plating by developing a new chemical process which can plate zinc-nickel (ZnNi) alloy. Cadmium is a coating for metals that gives excellent anti-corrosion and lubrication properties but the feedstock material is very toxic. Use of Cd is still allowed in the EU but only for some strategic aerospace and military applications. The global economy is searching for an alternative to cadmium and this has been achieved through the use of novel ionic liquid non-aqueous chemistry and deep eutectic solvents which create a safer coating while maintaining the technical properties of cadmium.
The CRUPPAIL project is a small consortium including a Birmingham-based commercial electroplating company, experts in waste minimisation, treatment and surface engineering and is funded by Innovate UK. The role of the University of Leicester is to develop and produce the novel electrolyte. This task is being led by Dr Chunhong Lei and Prof. Karl Ryder in the Materials Centre, Department of Chemistry.
The SEA Awards bring together the entire surface and heat treatment industry, including customers, suppliers and members of the organization.
The awards ceremony will be held in Manchester on Friday 12th October 2018.

My little point-and-shoot camera takes video, but apparently I am too stupid to use it. I wanted to shoot a video of Campbell playing on my dad's treadmill and this is what I got.
Somehow it escaped me that I can't simply turn the camera on its side while shooting video.

Some of you may be acutely aware of the recent drama between Cyanogen and OnePlus (with a cameo by Micromax). The short version of it is Cyanogen signed an exclusivity deal with Micromax for the latter's YU brand of phones in India that prevented OnePlus from selling the One in the market, despite Cyanogen having a global deal with OnePlus in place.
A lot of speculations were made regarding this but the recent court order documents revealed by xda make it all too clear.
As it happens, Cyanogen had a global (except China) non-exclusive deal with OnePlus, that allowed the latter to use Cyanogen OS and branding worldwide. This deal was made in February 1, 2014 and lasts till January 31, 2016.
Despite the presence of this agreement, however, Cyanogen signed an exclusive deal with Micromax for the latter to use its OS and branding on the new YU series of phones in India. This deal conflicts the one Cyanogen already had with OnePlus, and is what caused Micromax to send a cease and desist letter to OnePlus, and the Delhi High Court eventually banning the sales of OnePlus One devices in India.
The problem here, as you can see, is Cyanogen making a second deal while having one in place. Moreover, the company did not intimate OnePlus regarding this (OnePlus found out about it later). The court documents also have email conversations between OnePlus' Carl Pei to Cyanogen CEO Kirt McMaster. In one of the mails, McMaster flatly says "Carl. We will be terminating our relationship with one plus." without giving any particular reason for it. You can read more of the conversations in the source link below.
This is a breach of contract between Cyanogen and OnePlus and we're sure the latter will pursue this in court. But it's rather unfortunate and unprofessional of Cyanogen to throw OnePlus under the bus to sign a deal with Micromax.
If OnePlus do sue CyanogenM, they will be in breach of their own strap line of "Never Settle"...
I've read the whole case. Cyanogen's CEO sending unprofessional emails from an iPad. Since they are Cyanogen Inc. they aren't making good decisions.
And I am one of those questioning those ethics. Do note that when I say it's "amateurish business 101" I am referring to Cyanogen Inc., not OnePlus. I really don't care how this will be framed (legally), when someone (Cyanogen Inc.) co...

Creating an event budget involves more than merely scrutinizing the cost of advertising or the price of a banquet hall in Orange County. The plan must also include knowing where each dollar is being spent and why, as well as when each bill is due. Although organizing such an event may seem like a daunting endeavor, the tips outlined below will help you optimize your budget and increase your chances of success:
Establish a Realistic Break-Even Point
Use anticipated numbers to determine a realistic break-even point and make sure your event is financially viable. Use a budget calculator to enter different income scenarios to determine their profit and loss impact.
Identify Your Objectives
Your event objectives help to define your priorities. These objectives depend on a variety of factors, such as whether you are organizing a nonprofit project or planning a profit driven event. Your priorities also depend on what your prospective attendees anticipate from the event, and therefore you should take all these things into consideration.
Revenue Sources
Estimating various sources of income is important. These include ticket sales, money for merchandise sold at the facility rental, and sponsorship revenue. Try to avoid overestimating or underestimating by being realistic and thinking about key variables and their potential impact on your budget.
Identify and Review Expenses
Review all expenses, beginning with the event venue contract, and working your way down to miscellaneous costs. The goal of this step is to ensure you know where every dollar is being spent. It is helpful to break expenses up into two groups: fixed and variable. Entertainment, the banquet hall rental fee, and similar items are fixed, while the cost of things such as printing and catering typically vary according to the number of attendees.
Analyze Risks
Try to evaluate things such as the level of loyalty among your attendees. Ask yourself if they would still come to the event if the ticket price increased. You should also determine whether investing more money in one element may result in a higher return somewhere else. Often referred to as sensitivity analysis, completing these hypothetical exercises ultimately have a positive impact on your budget.
Estimate Capital Requirement
To work out your cash flow, you must determine when the money is needed, and of course the overall amount. Adding up the cost of everything from the price of the facility rental to the cost of advertising is necessary to determine exactly how much equity is required for the event from beginning to end.
Enhance Your Immediate Cash Flow
Opening bookings as soon as possible and requiring advance payment at the time the reservations are made are some examples of good ways to boost immediate cash flow. You may also wish to consider agreeing to a credit check with suppliers so that there is a possibility of deferring certain payments until after the event.
Budget for Last Minute Issues
The objective of creating a budget is to avoid overspending. Nevertheless, unforeseen issues occasionally occur. This does not have to ruin your budget, as you can overspend in one area provided you are prepared to trim back in another. You may also wish to create a small backup budget to offset unforeseen costs. This should be between one and 25% of your total budget.
Run Income Scenarios
Determining your pessimistic budget position is a wise course of action as well. This is accomplished by anticipating the worst case scenario. For example, ask yourself if it would still be possible to make a profit if you only filled half the banquet hall or if merchandise sales fell far below the anticipated amount.
Meta-Description: Event planning is a major project, but you can increase your chances for a good return on your investment by utilizing these tips.

A short (700-900 word) memo, letter or electronic correspondence to the authority you answer to, making clear the work and operations of your architectural practice.
The product of the assignment will be a document (in a suitable media) from your future self to your practice's board of directors, through which you will create a clear picture of your position within the profession.
The year is 2035. You are a professional practitioner in the field of architecture somewhere in the world, in a method and manner of your own concocting. You have created this position for yourself after 20 years in the profession.
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife [or husband]
And you may ask yourself – Well…How did I get here?1
Having determined the nature of your role in the profession, and the type of work that you engage in on a day-to-day basis, establish where in the world you are, and what specifically you are currently involved in, architecturally or otherwise. Once you're clear on your immediate professional context, the assignment begins: you have been summoned back to headquarters by your directorate (or another authority to which you must answer: client, prime minister, community body) for an important meeting concerning your future – this is to take place tomorrow.
However, you are unable to return to the board meeting, for reasons well beyond your control.
You may have been put in jail, you may have to stay and re-design the entire hydraulic system of your current project to accommodate the clients' new shipment of automated toilets from Mongolia, you may have got wind of an unmissable new project opportunity that you have to ride out into the desert to negotiate, you may have woken up in a Vegas hotel suite with Seth Rogen, a tiger and Mike Tyson, the price of Corian may have skyrocketed overnight, you may have decided to abandon the firm and work as a community activist in the favela your latest project was going to demolish, etc. The point is, something has happened to detain you.
Your task then is to construct a masterful piece of correspondence to your board of directors outlining exactly why you are unable to attend, why this delay or detainment has been a product of the work that you've been doing, and how your specific role in executing this work has been vital to the success of this particular project and the firm in general. This correspondence will also request that the board take into account some of the particulars of your architectural career, specific aspects of which you will necessarily outline in the document.
You will develop the profile of your practice and/or firm and continue to develop the details of the scenario. The basic intent of the assignment is for you to project forward to imagine the kind of
11503- 2015 – Assignment 3
architect you'd like to become, the structure of the organisation within which you'll work, that operation's design practices and project outcomes, and any contingent risks associated with your future position. (These risks may have led to your detainment) The assignment will also communicate your projected role (explicit and implicit) within the organisation, as well as the practice's place within the wider profession, both locally and globally.
Context – The place in which you find yourself, and the work that you are doing there, will be clear evocations of how you imagine yourself in the profession in 20 years. Be as detailed as possible, and as personal (in terms of addressing your own ambitions).
Condition – The situation in which you find yourself is, most likely, a direct result of the work you are doing, as well as the personal ambitions that you have brought to bear on your practice.
Correspondence – The letter that you compose explaining your absence will also convey the above; that is, you will communicate exactly what your position is, what you do, why you are delayed and, most importantly, why this episode is not necessarily a problem.
Written personal histories and autobiographical tell-alls, corporate apologias, reality television shows, recent memoirs of failed politicians, press releases and other correspondence and any other media in which one aims to explain oneself despite potentially awkward situations.

Australian and international farm policy news
Near-record wheat harvests for China and Pakistan
Forecasts by the FAO predict a 1.4% drop in worldwide wheat output for 2016. This is due to dry weather in the Russian Federation and Ukraine which has led to reduced winter plantings. China and Pakistan are set for near-record wheat harvests and India's output is anticipated to recover.
FAO's first production forecast for wheat in 2016 stands at 723 million tonnes, or 1.4% percent (10 million tonnes) below the record output achieved in 2015. Wheat utilisation is forecast to be rising to 724 million tonnes. This projected rise is due to increased food consumption and a resurgence of wheat usage in animal rations in the European Union (EU). Global world wheat trade in 2015/2016 for June/July is forecast at 151.1 million tonnes (down 2.5%). This reduction is driven by reduced import requirements from Morocco, Iran, Turkey and Uzbekistan.
The lessening demand for wheat and barley is compensated for by firmer demand for rice. The FAO now expects world trade in all cereals to decline by 2% in volume terms in 2015/16 from the previous season. The impact on Australian markets in China and India will be ongoing with both countries setting policies in place to secure domestic supply and food self-sufficiency.
Brazil raises record soy crop forecast to 101.2 million tonnes
The Brazilian 2015/2016 soybean crop is estimated at a record 101.18 tonnes. Growers planted nearly 4% more land to soybeans than last season and were obtaining firm yields when harvest began in March. Soybeans are closely tied to the meat market, as soybean meal is a main animal feed ingredient. With an anticipated growth in consumption rates for meat, soybeans maintain a promising outlook.
Brazil has surpassed the United States (US) as the highest producer of soybeans. Brazil's share is at 44.2% while the US is at 36%. The current strong US dollar is constraining US exports, while Brazil's Real is weaker. Brazil has made a strategic decision to export significant volumes of soybean to China. Whilst China has devoted its domestic crop production to corn to meet its growing domestic demand.
In Brazil the soybean industry is squeezed by high production costs and low world soybean prices, exacerbated by economic unrest. With industry formally requesting the Foreign Ministry to consider a WTO challenge of US farm supports, specifically US weather insurance and price guarantees.
The light shines on country of origin food labelling
Australian states and territories have signed off on the Federal Government's plan for new country of original labels. The new labels clearly show the percentage of a product that is grown or manufactured in Australia. Compliance is set to start from 1 July 2016. Food manufacturers have an introductory period of two years to comply with the new requirements.
The new labelling may not deliver all the answers, as it does not specify where the imported food comes from and there is also an allowance for seasonal variation. This allows manufacturers to import ingredients when they are out of season in Australia and include an average on the label.
It is a win for the Australian consumer who can make an informed decision regarding the price they are willing pay depending on where that product is grown and manufactured. Whether Australian farmers can leverage the marketing potential of such labelling legislation is yet to be seen.
US farm incomes continue to slide downhill
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimate net farm incomes to decline in 2016, a trend following 2014 and 2015 actual incomes. This is in contrast to the five-year period commencing in 2009 where the US farm sector's income grew rapidly, peaking in 2013. Net cash farm income is expected to fall by 3% in 2016, after the steep descent of 38% in 2015.
This has been driven by a significant drop in crop revenue due to declining crop prices. Production has reached record or near record levels in both corn and soybean harvests over multiple years. Historically these commodities have represented more than 25% of the farm sector's revenue. Animal and animal product revenues are expected to decline due to lower prices by almost $5 billion between 2013 and 2016.
Total sector expenses remain at historic highs, as they increased to almost 6% in 2014 with forecasts of falls of 3% in 2015 and 1% in 2016. While there is a drop in overall production expenses forecasted for 2016, notably of input purchases from feed and livestock. Fuel and oils are forecast to drop by 14.5%, while hired labour costs and interest are forecast to increase by 5% and 6.8%.
Other interesting highlights from the 2016 Farm Sector Income forecast are that direct government farm program payments are forecast to rise by 31.4% in 2016. While the new Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) programs, introduced in the 2014 Farm Bill, are expected to account for almost two-thirds of direct payments to farm operations.
Total farm sector equity is forecast to drop by 2.2% in 2016, as farm sector assets decline. The value of real estate is down 1.2% and the value of crops and animal/animal products and purchased inputs are down by 6.7% relative to 2015. These balance sheet changes result in a worsening of farm solvency measures (near historic lows) and liquidity positions on average have deteriorated.
The bigger picture is that the financial health of the US agricultural sector is strong even as the pattern of lower crop and livestock prices continues. The high net farm income levels from several years ago helped US producers strengthen their financial base, which is continuing with lower farm income forecasts and the tightening of farm budgets.

Carrier Participates in Historic Habitat Build Featuring Net Zero Home Construction
Members of Carrier's Residential HVAC brand team visited South Bend, Indiana to participate in Habitat for Humanity's® annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project. The team was on-hand to support Carrier's involvement as it donated dozens of heating and cooling systems for this June 2018 project.
The build took place in St. Joseph County, which is on the Indiana/Michigan border and includes cities like South Bend. Four Winds Custom Heating & Cooling, Michiana Heating & Air Conditioning, and Masters Heating & Cooling, all Carrier® Factory Authorized Dealers, will install the systems donated by Carrier.
The build includes over 20 houses in the same neighborhood. In addition, four net zero homes were built in nearby South Bend. These homes have the net zero designation, which means that they can produce as much renewable energy as they consume over the course of a year. This summer marks the first time Habitat homes in St. Joseph County will achieve this net zero distinction.
Net zero energy home construction is a bold departure from conventional homebuilding. Constructed to be air-tight, the homes are well-insulated, energy efficient, carbon emission-free, and they result in a net zero energy bill. High-efficiency climate controls systems are essential in achieving a net zero home. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the typical American home spends approximately 43 percent of its energy bills on heating and cooling.
"From California to the American South, net zero homes are growing more common, and builders are investing in Carrier high efficiency climate controls systems to drive down energy consumption and improve home comfort," said Matthew Pine, president, Residential HVAC, Carrier. "We salute Habitat for Humanity of St. Joseph County for resetting the bar for what homeowners can strive for when building affordable homes that are sustainable from day one."
Two of the net zero homes will be outfitted with Carrier® Infinity® heat pumps with Greenspeed® intelligence, while the other two will receive an Infinity geothermal and ductless system, respectively. The Infinity systems are Carrier's most efficient and will provide high-efficiency climate control that's essential to a net zero home.
Carrier also recently donated 23 conventional, ducted split systems for an entire neighborhood of new construction homes in nearby Mishawaka, Indiana and an additional 15 ductless systems to support critical home improvements for a blend of military veteran and aging-in-place Habitat homeowners across St. Joseph County.
Carrier has supported Habitat affiliates nationwide with more than $3 million in donations and countless employee volunteer hours since 1996.

Why do so many business strategies fail? Why do some firms grow while others stagnate? How do once-dominant firms lose their competitive edge?
Accelerating economic, technological, social, and environmental change challenge managers to learn at increasing rates. As managers, we must increasingly learn how to design and manage complex systems with multiple feedback effects, long 'me delays, and nonlinear responses to our decisions. Effective learning in such environments requires methods to develop systems thinking, to represent and assess such dynamic complexity – and tools managers can use to accelerate learning throughout an organization.
- Visualize a business organization in terms of the structures and policies that create dynamics and regulate performance.
- Conceptualize and capture the structures generating the dynamics in diverse business settings.
- Learn to recognize and deal with situations where policy interventions are likely to be delayed, diluted, or
defeated by unanticipated reactions and side effects.
Immerse Yourself: You will use simulation models to explore strategic issue s such as fluctuating sales, production and earnings; market growth and stagnation; the diffusion of new technologies; the use and reliability of forecasts; the rationality of business decision making; and applications in health care, energy policy, environmental sustainability, and other topics. We will use simulation models, case studies, and management simulators to develop principles of policy design for successful management of complex strategies.

If you could sit down for an hour or two with a writer or two - not necessarily novelists - living or dead, who would you choose?
Stephen King and Henry David Thoreau. Mark Twain. Dr Suess.
Only two? Jane Austen and Salmon Rushdie.
I'd go for George Orwell and art historian and critic John Berger. Their writing styles are similar, both deceptively straightforward but with their own sense of directness and a sensitive simplicity. And they're similar in other ways.
Orwell came to maturity as a writer in the era of growing fascist dominance (he was badly wounded fighting against Spanish Nationalist forces) which he commented on at length while maintaining a genuine concern for the lot of working people (from his essay 'Down the Mine, for example: " It is impossible to watch the 'fillers' at work without feeling a pang of envy for their toughness. It is a dreadful job that they do, an almost superhuman job by the standard of an ordinary person. For they are not only shifting monstrous quantities of coal, they are also doing, it in a position that doubles or trebles the work. They have got to remain kneeling all the while — they could hardly rise from their knees without hitting the ceiling — and you can easily see by trying it what a tremendous effort this means." )
Berger's field was, to begin with, art criticism, approached from a social perspective then almost unknown, as in pointing out that the rise in popularity of Dutch oil painting coincides with the growing wealth of the merchant class and their desire for a permanent and ostentatious display of their purchasing power and possessions (noting that the chief characteristic of oil paints is the ability to capture an almost photographic tactility, whether of the fruit and flowers of still life studies that adorned the walls of bourgeoisie interiors , or the flesh of compliant female nudes). From there Berger progressed to a decades-long study of and involvement in the last vestiges of peasant life in rural France, which produced e a trilogy of novels written in the open style of his art criticism.
In his 'Looking at Animals', Berger describes the distance that, since the nineteenth century. has opened between ourselves and the animals upon which we were once so reliant (and, at least for food, still are),and of how most of us today have no immediate contact with animals other than pets entirely reliant upon owners for food and, so often, for exercise. In an almost throwaway remark he comments that within this divide may lie the roots of fascism...
Isaac Asimov, and Herman Melville
Stephen King or Dean Koontz
Mya Angelou. She was such a great writer and wise lady. "Read Heads" Group
Oh gosh, I would love to talk with Dante – about his spiritual love for Beatrice and his feeling that he had lost his way in the complicated world of medieval Florence. Something happened at that time to make him change his muse from courtly love to holding the woman up as a paragon of virtue and salvation, a Christ. I would love to get him to explain about his notion of the logical conclusions of sin which would be suffered in Hell, and why he chose Hell to be freezing cold instead of boiling hot, and to ask did he really believe those evil characters were in Hell or actually resting in peace until Judgement Day.
Shirley Jackson. I was heartbroken when I learned she had died when I was 5, after discovering her work as a teenager.
Definitively Sir Bertrand Russell, and then Sir Walter Scott or perhaps Oscar Wilde...

Housemade salsa and tequila-heavy 'tails in Sandy Springs
There's an old saying that goes "there are no bad tacos, only bad people" -- actually, there's not, but there is now, and guess what you are if you say otherwise. Proving that wisdom right, Teela Taqueria. A pastel-heavy, stone-tiled space littered with wooden animal carvings and rocking a sweet Heritage Park-facing patio, Teela's from the owner of Roswell's defunct Fishmonger Seafood Grill, a man whose approach to soft tacos is as puritanical as that puritan who totally put out and had to walk around with that "A", for "Awesome". Everything (even the salsas) is house-made, starting with five classics: Brisket, crispy fried Tilapia, twice-cooked Pork Carnitas (w/ corn & pepper pico, cilantro, onions), Fried Pollo (roasted red pepper, chipotle aioli), and the pulled chicken-, rice-, sesame seed-, and pun-garnished Holy Mole Chicken. Teela goes on to give the taco treatment to old Fishmonger appetizers, like the smoky chili aioli Bang Bang Shrimp, the Southern BLT (w/ fried green tomatoes & feta), and the mango salsa'd blackened fish-of-the-day Fins On Fire -- which'd be a hot Skinemax movie starring Salmon Tweed. Back at the semi-circle bar, Teela's offering four taps, $7 by-the-glass wines, fresh mojitos, and a heavy selection of $6, $8, and $10 tequilas ranging from Voodoo Tiki to Senor Frog -- named after the bar where everyone's a bad person, because they made you take your top off.

Intl. Autos helped make these videos
We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
The video above shows how to replace blown fuses in the interior fuse box of your 2009 Mercedes-Benz C300 in addition to the fuse panel diagram location. Electrical components such as your map light, radio, heated seats, high beams, power windows all have fuses and if they suddenly stop working, chances are you have a fuse that has blown out. If your C300 is experiencing electrical problems, you should always check the fuses first, because they are relatively easy to check and cheap to change. Some Mercedes-Benzs have multiple interior fuse boxes including in the trunk - the video above will show you where the interior fuse box of your 2009 C300 is located. If your C300 has many options like a sunroof, navigation, heated seats, etc, the more fuses it has. Some components may have multiple fuses, so make sure you check all of the fuses that are linked to the component in question.
If you need to replace a blown fuse in your C300, make sure you replace it with one that has the same amperage as the blown fuse. If checking and replacing the fuse for the component in question doesn't work, we recommend seeking assistance from a trusted professional mechanic. They should be able to figure out if the component needs to be replaced or if there is a short or some other problem with your C300.

It looks like @caver01 was right about you having duplicate entries.
input_map[p1_lightgunx] auto input_map[p1_lightguny] auto
Try removing the entries above, located at lines 107 and 108 and see if it'll launch.
yes it now boots but lightgun does not work. (trackball does work)
im using wiimote with dolphinbar.
tried mode 1 and 2 on dolphinbar
should i be using something else?
If i attempt a new image, i can get the lightgun to work but then the trackball does not.
thanks for the help guys
@kmetz7547 Have you gone through this wiki yet? Lightgun/trackball--for your setup linux should be treating these as mice. You will probably want to do some of the tests suggested including running the advm utility to see what index advancemame is using for each device. Also, pay special attention to the settings that specify using RAW, PS2, and setting the index for each device in the .rc file.
@kmetz7547 For example, setting these lines:
device_mouse raw device_raw_mousedev[0] /dev/input/mouse0 device_raw_mousedev[1] /dev/input/mouse1 device_raw_mousedev[2] /dev/input/mouse2 device_raw_mousedev[3] /dev/input/mouse3 device_raw_mousetype[0] ps2 device_raw_mousetype[1] ps2 device_raw_mousetype[2] ps2 device_raw_mousetype[3] ps2
will define the first four mouse devices. Make sure you are not duplicating entries.
Updated rc with these inputs and games still load but lightgun don't work. Just the d pad on the wiimote works, not the motion.
The trackball works within the lightgun games, bit the wiimote does not
@kmetz7547 Did you do any of the testing described in the Wiki link?
Also, these lines above only establish the input devices. You still have to map them using
cancel that, right after a reboot , it works!... I cant thank you guys enough. Awesome Help!

heart utterly obdurate, after long means. 2. Or will procure more suffering to the reprover, than good to the offender. 3. That when the thing is ordinarily a duty, the reasons of our omission must be clear and sure, before they will excuse us".
Quest. "Must we reprove infidels or heathens? What have we to do to judge them that are without?"
Answ. Not to the ends of excommunication, because they are not capable of it", which is meant 1 Cor. v. But we must reprove them, first, In common compassion to their souls. What were the apostles, and other preachers sent for, but to call all men from their sins to God? Secondly, And for the defence of truth and godliness, against their words, or ill examples.
PEACE is so amiable to nature itself, that the greatest destroyers of it do commend it: and those persons in all times and places, who are the cause that the world cannot enjoy it, will yet speak well of it, and exclaim against others as the enemies of peace: as if there were no other name but their own sufficient to make their adversaries odious. As they desire salvation, so do the ungodly desire peace; which is with a double error; one about the nature of it, and another about the conditions and other means. By peace they mean, the quiet, undisturbed enjoyment of their honours, wealth, and pleasures; that they may have their lusts and will without any contradiction: and the conditions on which they would have it are, the compliance of all others with their opinions and wills, and humble submission to their domination, passions, or desires. But peace is another thing, and otherwise to be desired and sought. Peace in the mind is the delightful effect of its internal harmony, as peace in the body is nothing but its plea
sant health, in the natural position, state, action, and concord of all the parts, the humours, and spirits: and peace in families, neighbourhoods, churches, kingdoms, or other societies, is the quietness, and pleasure of their order and harmony; and must be attained and preserved by these following means. Direct. 1. 'Get your own hearts into a humble frame; and abhor all the motions of pride and self-exalting." A humble man hath no high expectations from another; and therefore is easily pleased or quieted. He can bow and yield to the pride and violence of others, as the willow to the impetuous winds. His language will be submissive ; his patience great; he is content that others go before him; he is not offended that another is preferred. A low mind is pleased in a low condition. But pride is the gunpowder of the mind, the family, the church, and state: it maketh men ambitious, and setteth them on striving who shall be the greatest. A proud man's opinion must always go for truth, and his will must be a law to others, and to be slighted or crossed seemeth to him an insufferable wrong. And he must be a man of wonderful compliance, or an excellent artificer in man-pleasing and flattery, that shall not be taken as an injurious undervaluer of him: he that overvalueth himself, will take it ill of all that do not also overvalue him. Tf you (forgetfully) go before him, or overlook him, or neglect a compliment, or deny him something which he expected, or speak not honourably of him, much more if you reprove him, and tell him of his faults, you have put fire to the gunpowder, you have broke his peace, and he will break yours if he can. Pride broke the peace between God and the apostate angels; but nothing unpeaceable must be in heaven; and therefore by self-exalting they descended into darkness: and Christ by self-humbling ascended unto glory. He is a matter of very great difficulty to live peaceably in family, church, or any society with any one that is very proud. They expect so much of you, that you can never answer all their expectations, but will displease them by your omissions, though you neither speak or do anything to displease them. What is it but the lust of pride which causeth most of the wars and bloodshed throughout the world ! The pride of two or three men, must cost many thousands of their subjects the loss of their peace, estates, and lives. "Delirant reges, plectuntur Achivi." What were the conquests of those emperors, Alexander, Caesar, Tamerlane, Mahomet, &c., but the pernicious effects of their infamous pride 2 Which like gunpowder taking fire in their breasts, did blow up so many cities and kingdoms, and call their villanies by the name of valour, and their murders and robberies by the name of war. If one man's pride do swell so big, that his own kingdom cannot contain it, the peace of as much of the world as he can conquer is taken to be but a reasonable sacrifice to this infernal vice. The lives of thousands, both subjects and neighbours (called enemies by this malignant spirit) must be taken away, merely to make this one man the ruler of the rest, and subdue the persons of others to his will. Who perhaps when he hath done, will say that he is no tyrant, but maketh the "bonum publicum' his end; and is kind to men against their wills; and killeth, and burneth, and depopulateth countries, for men's corporal welfare; as the Papists poison, and burn, and butcher men for the saving of souls. "Cuncta ferit dum cuncta timet, desaevit in omnes.' They are the "turbines," the hurricanes or whirlwinds of the world, whose work is to overturn and ruin. 'Tantum ut noceat cupit esse potens.' Whether they burn and kill by right or wrong, is little of their inquiry; but how many are killed ? and how many have submitted to their pride and wills 2 As when Q. Flavius complained that he suffered innocently, Valerius answered him, "Non sua re interesse, dummodo periret." "That was nothing to his business or concernment so he did but perish." Which was plainer dealing than these glorious conquerors used, but no whit worse. He that cannot command the putrid humours out of his veins, nor the worms out of his bowels, nor will be able shortly to forbid them to crawl or feed upon his face, will now damn his soul and shed men's blood, to obtain the predomination of his will. And when he hath conquered many, he hath but made him many enemies, and may find, that in 'tot populis vix una fides." A quiet man can scarce with all his wit tell how to find a place where he may live in peace, where pride and cruelty will not pursue him, or the flames of war will not follow him and find him out: and perhaps he may be put to say as Cicero of Pompey and Caesar, "Quem fugiam scio; quem sequar nescio." And if they succeed by conquest, they become to their subjects almost as terrible as to their enemies. So that he that would approach them with a petition for justice, must do it as Augustus spake to a fearful petitioner, as if he did "assem dare elephanto;" or as if they dwelt in the inaccessible light, and must be served as God with fear and trembling. And those that flatter them as glorious conquerors, do but stir up the fire of their pride, to make more ruins and calamities in the earth, and do the work of a raging pestilence. As an Athenian orator said to the men of Athens, when they would have numbered Alexander with the gods, "Cavete ne dum coelum liberaliter donetis, terram et domicilia propria amittatis:" "Take heed while you so liberally give him heaven, lest he take away your part of earth." And when their pride hath consumed and banished peace, what have they got by it? That which a Themistocles after trial, would prefer a grave to, "Siuna via ad solium duceret, altera ad sepulchrum. xx That which Demosthenes preferred banishment before. That which the wisest philosophers refused at Athens, 'The great trouble of government." "Inexpertus ambit; expertus odit." Cyneas asked Pyrrhus when he was preparing to invade the Romans, "What shall we do when we have conquered the Romans ?" He answered, "We will go next to Sicily." "And what shall we do when Sicily is conquered ?" said he Pyrrhus said, "We will go next to Africa." "And what shall we do next?" said the other : "Why then," said he, "we will be quiet, and merry, and take our ease." "And," said Cyneas, "if that be last and best, why may we not do so now !" It is for quietness and peace that such pretend to fight and break peace; but they usually die before they obtain it: (as Pyrrhus did :) and might better have permitted peace to stand, than pull it down to build it better. As one asked an old man at Athens, "Why they called themselves philosophers ?" who answered, "Because we seek after wisdom." Saith he, "If you are but seeking it at this age, when do you think to find it !" So I may say to the proud warriors of the world, * If so many men must be killed, and so many conquered in seeking peace, when will it that way be found !' But perhaps they think that their wisdom and goodness are so great, that the world cannot be happy unless they govern it: but what could have persuaded them to think so, but their pride 3 'Nihil magis aegris prodest, quam ab eo curaria quo voluerint:" saith Seneca. Patients must choose their own physicians. Men use to give them but little thanks, who drench them with such benefits, and bring them to the portion of peace so hot, that the touch of the cup must burn their lips, and who in goodness cut the throats of one part, that their government may be a blessing to the survivors. In a word, it is pride that is the great incendiary of the world, whether it be found in high or low. It will permit no kingdom, family, or church to enjoy the pleasant fruits of peace. Direct. 11. "If you would be peaceable, be not covetous lovers of the world, but be contented with your daily bread." Hungry dogs have seldom so great plenty of meat, as to content them all, and keep them from falling out about it. If you overlove the world, you will never want occasions of discord: either your neighbour selleth too dear, or buyeth too cheap of you, or over-reacheth you, or gets before you, or some way or other doth you wrong; as long as he hath any thing which you desire, or doth not satisfy all your expectations. Ambitious and covetous men must have so much room, that the world is not wide enough for many of them: and yet, alas ! too many of them there are: and therefore they are still together by the ears, like the boys in the winter nights, when the bedclothes are too narrow to cover them; one pulleth, and another pulleth, and all complain. You must be sure that you trespass not in the smallest measure, nor incroach on the least of his commodities, that you demand not your own, nor deny him any thing that he desireth, nor get any thing which he would have himself, no nor ever give over feeding his greedy expectations, and enduring his injustice and abuse, if you will live peaceably with a worldlyminded man. Direct. 111. 'If you will be peaceable, love your neighbours as yourselves.' Love neither imagineth, nor speaketh, nor worketh any hurt to others: it covereth infirmities; it hopeth all things; it endureth all things". Selfishness and
