Prior to 1999, New Yorkers had to buy their electric and natural gas from the public utility company that serviced their area. Operating as regulated monopolies, the utilities weren't able to offer customers competitive pricing or customized pricing and services options. But all that has changed.
As part of the 1999 New York Public Service Commission order that opened the electricity industry to competition, the services that utilities provide have been split into two parts—supply and delivery—with the supply portion now open to competition. Independent energy service companies (ESCOs) have entered the market to compete for your business. In fact, 1.3 million New Yorkers have already switched to ESCOs for their electricity and natural gas supply.
ESCOs specialize in supplying energy—electricity, natural gas and clean, green renewable power. Because ESCOs aren't bound by certain government restrictions, they are able to offer customers choices—such as 1-, 2-, and 3-year fixed rate plans, and variable rate Plans that allow you to lock in your rate whenever you want.
Utilities favor you moving to an ESCO because it allows them to focus on what they do best—delivery and service. Plus it means they can get out of supplying the energy, which is a service that they have historically provided but were not allowed to profit from. When buying from an ESCO, your current utility will still deliver electricity to your home or business through its existing transmission and distribution system. You will still call your utility if your power goes out, or if you have an emergency situation related to your power. The reliability of your power supply will not change.
The biggest winner in energy deregulation is you. Now you are free to shop around for your energy supplier. And with ESCOs competing for your business, you are able to get more for your energy dollar.

Saudi Arabia is a great place. It is such a different and unique place. Its land structures, buildings, culture and scenic beauty are amazingly different and great. People around the world wish to visit Saudi Arabia for tourism purposes.
The great news for all the tourists is that it has been published in the Arab News that Travel Agencies which are in category D have been allowed to issue tourist visas. The Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH) in Jeddah has issued the first license allowing a travel agency in category D to issue such visas.[irp]
Moreover, all the travel companies which are in category A,B,C,D are also allowed to sell the tickets through various means of transportation. They would also be able to sell complete packages to visit different areas of the Kingdom.
A few months ago, Saudi government also announced that they are working on a solution to Convert Umrah Visa into Tourist Visa.
Tourism is a great source of revenue. Many countries have realized the importance of the sector and have taken possible steps to attract tourists to their countries. Even though we realized later, but you know, it's never too late! Tourists now can gain their tourists visas for Saudi Arabia from genuine and certified tourist's companies.
Like many other reforms taking place in Saudi Arabia, this is one of the great reforms. Such a step can boost up the economy. Studies reveal that some countries' economies heavily rely on revenues generated through tourism.
These countries get their preparations done before tourist season starts. They know that if more tourists are attracted, more is the benefit for the economy.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has major tourist attractions. There are people out there wanting to visit the unique places of Saudi Arabia. Some desire to experience the culture, some want to visit the historic places while some want to enjoy the mountains, sand dunes, marine life, and forests.
Saudi Arabia is quite famous for possessing great archaeology and heritage. With the provision of tourists visas, many can live their dream now!
Saudis can also benefit from the tourist's sector. As the sector would be untapped, it will open up job avenues for many. With the tourist visas availability, people around the world would come to visit the different parts of Saudi Arabia.
There are some very fine beaches in Saudi Arabia, such as the beaches of Hanqel, Yanbu, Sharma, Beesh, and Forsan. There are beautiful sand dunes around the country.
The Red Sea is a beauty on its own. The marine life there is beautiful. Also, the coral reefs found there are unique. The Red sea shall attract more tourists if we initiate Scuba Diving there. So yes, we also need to start up some preparations to attract tourists.
The southern areas of Saudi Arabia are not inferior either. The culture, tradition, and heritage of the south can mesmerize anyone. Also, the moderate climate around the year is the best part! There are some major tourist's sites, resorts and much more waiting for tourists since long.
Like I said we need to get prepared now. This is not only a task for the government, the private sector shall also participate. The investments shall be undertaken wisely. This is the time when we can tell the world what we really are.
We need to create our image and that has to be a great one. Tourists shall be facilitated with great sites so that our tourism sector can flourish.

Hello from Suriname!
So here is my first post from Suriname! I had a long, tiring journey here and have had a long, productive, and now boring time in the city. I can't get out to my site until Tuesday, as this has been one of the wettest rainy seasons ever, and the airstrip out in the interior was too wet to go last week. I really hope the trip won't get pushed back more, as the city is getting expensive and boring.
My journey here began when R and I left the house at 5am last Sunday. We drove to the airport where I paid $50 for one of my bags being overweight. Then I got on the plane and flew to Miami where I had to get my heavy bags and drag them to the BWIA desk, which was not open yet. So I hung around reading, then was able to get my bags checked for the next flight. I had a lot of time in the Miami airport so I had lunch, read and puttered around. Finally we boarded the plane. I was a little worried, as no other flights were boarding due to weather conditions, but we all hopped on, and then sat on the runway for 2 hours as we waited for the rain to stop. Finally we headed to Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. There I had to stand in a line to transfer to the next plane. Once I was at that gate, the flight kept getting later and later due to "mechanical issues". I was so tired by now, I tried to sleep a little on the airport chairs, but they were too far apart to really stretch out on. Finally we took off, and got to Paramaribo at about 4 am.
I got through all the immigration, and went out to the bunch of taxi drivers. I expected to have someone there to pick me up, but it became obvious no one was around. Luckily I had the person's cell phone number so I borrowed a phone and called. It turns out she never got my email saying I was coming! It was ok, though, and she told me what bus to take and what hotel would take me at 4 am. So I got on the bus, and waited a really long time more as the driver tried to get as many people as he could to take the ride. Finally we left and I got to my guesthouse at 5:30 am. It was run by an older lady, who was very nice and told me to go right to sleep and we would do business in the morning.
So that was my exciting arrival on Monday morning. Since then I have been running around doing errands – I had some meetings with local agencies who are collaborating on my project, and those were really good and made me happy I chose this project. Having meetings like these, and working with the local organizations in order to do research that can be applied for management plans and conservation is exactly why I went to grad school. So after years of classes and sometimes doing stuff I wasn't really invested in, this taste of actually doing what I want was great, and made me excited to do my research. It was like everything I didn't like about being in school for the last 4 years was worth it to get to here. Hopefully I'll keep feeling this way for awhile.
In the midst of all my errands I got sunburned from walking around here, 3 degrees above the equator. I think it was Tuesday that I really got overheated, so since then I have been being extra careful with the sunscreen, and trying to stay in my air conditioned room as much as possible and go out later in the day and walk less. I never got any grants, so I am concerned about cash flow but I decided not dying of heat stroke was better than saving a few dollars, so I also took some cabs on sunny days.
It has been interesting how much I am remembering from when I was here before, more than 5 years ago. Almost everything is the same, except there is way more traffic. The gridlock is terrible. I took a cab to a place that would take me about 20 minutes to walk to, and the cab ride took longer than that because we sat still for so long. But when I start to walk around, I find my feet remember how to get to the Post Office, the Bank, the Chinese Restaurant, etc. It is pretty cool.
As the week has gone on the errands and appointments tapered off, so now I am getting a little bored, and a little lonely. When I was here before I was never in the city alone, and the people I do know here now are out of town. I go to the internet café quite a bit (an hour for about $1.50 US!) and I think they recognize me now. As today is Saturday, there were a lot of people out in the morning shopping, and I joined them for awhile, doing some window shopping and walking around enjoying the overcast sky (it has rained a ton the last two nights). I am being productive and working on fleshing out my methods, I think I will even make a little data entry test file on excel, but I can't wait until Tuesday when I can finally get to the forest!
That is my first dispatch, blogging from Suriname. There is some bad news, that the future of the internet connection at my site is uncertain, so you may not get any more of these until December. We will see, though, often things work out at the last minute.

New Elder
"The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task."
Timothy 3:1
In 2013, Jair walked into the doors of Iglesia Cristiana de la Gracia, the church plant here in Cusco, Peru. The church instantly embraced and welcomed him into the body of Christ. The Lord began to work in him as he had the desire to pastor the people of the local church. He took 8 months off from working and attended a seminary in Lima. He then married Alexandra, a missionary from Germany. After this, he and his wife returned to Cusco where he could still work at a local missionary clinic as their general doctor and go through eldership training through Iglesia Cristiana de la Gracia.
We would like to announce that Iglesias Cristiana de la Garcia has had the privilege of ordaining another elder. He has been with the local church for 4 years and under eldership training and evaluation for almost two years. By God's grace the church is growing in spiritual maturity and love for one another. Please pray for Jair as the new pastor of the flock in which the Lord has entrusted us with.
Why do we go to the unreached people of Peru preaching and teaching? We go because we want God's name and glory to be magnified among the nations. Our vision is to train indigenous leaders and pastors throughout Peru so that they may be better equipped to reach their people for Jesus Christ.
Please prayerfully consider financially partnering with our family as we continue the work here in Peru. Your monthly support enables us to live and work among the Quechuan people sharing the gospel.

text: Wolfie 2,434 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 'Name the Cunts of the world', yes? Every five years (this year December 3-4) around a quarter of a million animals are beheaded in less than 48 hours by 'peace-loving' religious pilgrims on the Nepal-India border as an act of gratitude to their Hindu goddess, Gadhimai. In spite of it being almost 2020, blood continues to redden the hands of Third World supernaturalist ragheads who still haven't reached the Victorian age. What the fuck is wrong with these revolting, cruel, BO-emitting medieval freaks? While the practice of Hinduism promotes reincarnation, I sincerely hope all of the wankers who've ever taken part in this utterly pointless and outdated shitfest are reincarnated as sacrificial goats or water buffalos. Karma indeed. I absolutely despair, I really do. Fucking religion stinks to high heaven. https://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/gadhimai-festival-worlds-largest-animal-sacrifice-ritual-2019/ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Human Resource Management

Due date: February 06, 2019 Total marks: 5 Marks
A Pharmaceutical Company hired Mr. James as a new HR Manager. James identified some potential problems in company policies. As the new human resource manager, James planned to change the individual-based approach towards team-based work. James developed the new management team which comprised of quality control, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and human resource managers. They drafted a new mission statement for the company that focused on developing a team based and high performance culture. Teams trained, worked and developed plans together and adopted the technique of 360-degree feedback. Mr. James also decided to change one more policy related to employee compensation plan. James felt that in a team-based environment, outstanding performance should be the criterion for pay raises instead of the same annual pay rise. After consulting with the CEO of the company, James sent a notification to all employees declaring the change to team-based pay-for-performance. But not a single employee was happy with the change.
Keeping in view the above scenario, do you think that the team-based pay-for-performance plan is a good idea? Support your answer with logical reasoning.

Nana – episode 20September 13, 2006 on 12:17 am | In Nana | 3 Comments
Hachi, why must you make bad decisions? Why must you fill the emptiness in your life with consumerism and celebrity dreams? Because they are within your grasp, and you are a victim of the disease befalling modern society.
Poor girl.
Hachi reacts with jealousy and disappointment when she realises that Yasu once dated Reira. She goes out to get liquor with Nobu and bonds, then she drinks too much, then she realises that Shin is a gigolo, then she gets fired. This emptiness that is inside her, she realises how she can fill it, and most serendipitously: Takumi is the answer.
I am now willing to freely admit that I get annoyed each time that Hachi thinks that she has feelings for one of the members of BLAST or Trapnest. It just seems strange, like she's some sort of limpet. She thinks that love will fill the emptiness, but it's not love if she has to force it.
Can we really be surprised that with this shoddy attitude to life, she was fired from her publishing firm? I was actually a bit surprised that Sakagami had won, but I can't blame her: much as I like Hachi as a person, if she was working under me I would kick her out.
Hachi doesn't really operate on logical lines, asking Nobu if he has a girlfriend only moments after discovering that he has imagined several virtual girlfriends to give himself the illusion of love within reach. The narration reveals that it's clear that she has registered what he's said, but what her mouth says doesn't back that up.
As of yet I have no stance on Hachi getting with Takumi. I liked the idea when it was innocent, but as a void filler I'm not too keen on it. Let's see if Hachi will crash and burn; what we've already learned is that the lives of Shouji, Jun-chan and Kyosuke are forfeit. Hooray for bands!
3 Comments
Given the way she narrates in the manga, it doesn't sound like Hachi has had much of a happy ending in the future. She doesn't appear to have changed much from the spoiled little girl she was back in Volume 1; superficial to the end, with barely any empathy because of her self-centered nature. She's willing to be used and tossed aside, if need be, in order to feel 'needed' for that short period, rather than consider the effects it might have on her later on… or on those around her.
She's probably a perfect example of a modern, mindless consumer, really. 😉
Comment by Haesslich — September 13, 2006 #
I love Nana Osaki more. I don't really respect Hachi so much because of the way she's so submissive, especially to men. She basically has no backbone. But I can say some good things about her, but Nana O. is my one true love! 🙂
Comment by NANAFANGIRL4ETERNITY — May 28, 2007 #
Maledetto il giorno in cui takumi è entrato nella vita di quella stupida e ingenua di hachi….
Il mio piccolo Nobu ne soffrirà moltissimo….sigh sigh
se solo Hachi nn fosse così stupida..

networkn: Well I am not too happy. I have found out that they are releasing 900 more tickets today, I didn't know that yesterday and wasn't told when I asked, and so I paid $1000 + GST for a ticket, to find I can buy tickets for less today! More interestingly, the $1000 package includes hospitality on a $399 ticket, meaning $800 a person for hospitality's with a cash bar. Not sure what food they intend to serve for $800, at 3pm.
Re-read your previous post. The money is spent so no point in looking back now. Look forward to going to the game and maximise the enjoyment as much as you can.
I just pray that Craig Joubert (referee) has the game of his life, with absolutely no wrong calls and that the superior team wins. The best outcome would be that people can't remember the name of the ref when the All Blacks won the RWC2011, that would mean he had that 'perfect game'.

If amendments to the Lobbyists Act, introduced on April 11 by the Government of Alberta, are passed by the Legislature, the Lobbyists Amendment Act, 2018, would make Alberta one of the strictest regulators of lobbying in the country.

Proposed Saskatchewan law would regulate lobbyists
December 16, 2013 Adam Gorley Corporate Governance, Not for Profit
A new Bill currently before Saskatchewan's legislature would regulate lobbying in the province. Bill 120, the Lobbyists Act, would require persons who are paid to lobby elected officials to register their lobbying activities with a proposed government registry. The Bill contains numerous exemptions, which some critics say weaken the proposed law, but it will add a valuable layer of transparency to government, and may be strengthened in the future.

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1 cup reduced-fat milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
400g can no-added-salt chickpeas, rinsed, drained
150g lean cooked chicken, diced
1 cup grated zucchini
1 tablespoon mild curry powder
4 shallots, finely chopped
1 small red capsicum, chopped
4 tablespoons chopped mint
1 cup reduced-fat plain yoghurt, to serve
4 cups garden salad, to serve
Step 1Sift flour into a large bowl. Beat milk and egg together ina small bowl. Make a well in the centre of the flour. Add liquid to flour and whisk until combined.
Step 2Add remaining ingredients (except yoghurt and salad) to bowl and and mix well. Season with cracked black pepper.
Step 3Spray a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over a medium heat. Place 4 large spoonfuls of fritter batter in the pan, making sure they are separated from each other.
Step 4Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until they are firm and small bubbles appear on the surface. Using a spatula, turn each fritter — the underside should be golden brown. Cook for a further few minutes. Repeat process to make 12 fritters in total.
Step 5Divide fritters among serving plates. Serve with yoghurt and garden salad, and garnish with extra mint (optional).
Make an easy mint raita to serve with the fritters by stirring diced cucumber, finely chopped garlic and chopped mint through the yoghurt.

Fire up the grill for this slightly spicy, exotic flavored Thai Grilled Chicken. It's easy to…
Thai Seasoning
It's very easy to make your own Thai Seasoning at home. This blend of seasonings can be used to impart the flavor of Thai into meat, vegetable or grain dishes.
You can also use this as a rub for meats before you grill or smoke them. If you are looking for a Thai marinade just add a few tablespoons to a can of coconut milk and you have the perfect way to marinade all your favorite beef, pork, chicken or fish dishes.
This Thai seasoning is also used in the coating mixture of my Mongolian Beef recipe. Toss it in with the cornstarch coating and you have a wonderful crispy and flavorful crust on your beef strips after cooking.

Recently, myopia was found to increase the susceptibility to intraocular pressure and myopic eyes were at higher risk of developing open-angle glaucoma (OAG). The pathogenesis has been postulated to be morphologic changes around the optic nerve head (ONH) along with axial length elongation. We recently found that the peripapillary morphology is related closely to the type of posterior staphyloma (PS). We compared the PS shape with and without OAG using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
We retrospectively studied highly myopic eyes (refractive error <-6 diopters [D] or axial length >26 mm) with (group G, 74 eyes) and without (group N, 83 eyes) glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Only eyes with OAG were included. The depth of the posterior staphyloma was measured in a 12-mm horizontal SS-OCT scan. The staphyloma depth was defined as the average distance between the position of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) under the fovea and that 3 mm temporal or nasal to the fovea. The shape of the PS was evaluated by the relative location of the fovea and the ONH. The optic disc type was one in which the foveal surface was more anterior than the anterior surface of the pre-laminar tissue and vice versa for the non-optic disc type (Fig.).
The mean refractive error was -8.42 ± 0.72 D in group G and -11.04 ± 0.58 D in group N (P=0.04). The mean axial length was 29.94 ± 0.19 mm in group G and 28.70 ± 0.18 mm in group N (P<0.01). The staphyloma was significantly deeper in group N (335.0 ± 22.6 μm) compared with group G (192.1 ± 24.4 μm) (P=0.04). The incidence of the optic disc type in group G was significantly higher than that in group N (P=0.04). In group G, there was no significant correlation between the mean deviation value in Humphrey visual field test and the staphyloma depth (P=0.58) or staphyloma shape (P=0.46).
Eyes with OAG have specific characteristics in myopic eyes. The morphologic changes seen in these eyes seem to be related to the increased risk.

A recent survey found that a majority of American Catholics remain unaware that Pope Francis has called for immediate action to address the environmental and cultural problems caused by unfettered transnational corporate capitalism — not the least of which is cataclysmic changes to the environment increasingly gathered under the banner of climate change.
The survey, conducted in mid-July, did show that the percentage of Catholic adults (43 percent) aware of the encyclical was slightly larger than that of non-Catholic adults (39 percent).
The Romero Institute has been uncomfortable about the degree to which mainstream media in the United States have narrowly defined the Pope's landmark encyclical, Laudato Sii, as solely about climate change; however, it seems the Church has not been particularly avid in spreading even that narrow message.
According to the poll, less than half of the Catholic poll respondents knew that Laudato Sii existed. Of the 40 percent of American Catholics who said they had heard of the encyclical, a meager 23 percent of them heard of it during Mass.
The Romero Institute has long known that Laudato Sii, which we consider one of the most important writings of our time, was the initial salvo in a long campaign aimed at changing the human family's approach to its care for the environment and each other. We join Pope Francis in asserting that the excesses of unfettered free market capitalism are a corrosive force on society, but we know more needs to be done to get the message out.
Part of our mission is too help Catholics organize around Pope Francis' exhortation around the 'Common Care for our Home.' In the meantime, we implore the readers of this blog to read Laudato Sii in order to receive a full picture of the multi-faceted moral argument the Pope is making regarding our obligation to the environment and each other and the factors he believes is preventing the human family from fulfilling that obligation.
Please help our cause by donating here. The Romero Institute has also launched a campaign to request the Pope revoke the Doctrine of Discovery, a series of 15th century Papal Bulls that have provided the legal and moral rationale for the wholesale siezure of indigenous lands and the ensuing destruction of their culture.
Please sign the petition here. Together we are making a difference.

Hi there,
I'm trying my quest to holy grail, starting almost from scratch.
Glider seems to be the best iOs DMC : good looking and minimal UI, blazing fast, etc.
However, when playing to my DMR (currently a LG TV), in the targets menu, the TV is greyed out, pretending DMR cannot play FLAC files. And I know it can handle such files (using the TV DMP or other iOs DMC).
8player acts the same way but it has an option to ignore DMR restrictions and it works ! So bug or not bug ? Who's guilty ?
In order to buy the IAP, I want to make sure I can enjoy my digital library in lossless !
Once again, bravo for your work !
Thanks for the kind words!
When it comes to DLNA / UPnP issues like this, we've decided not to play the blame game and instead focus our energy on working around the limitations of whatever devices are out there.
I'd be happy to get your FLAC files streaming to your TV. Just send me a direct message with your email address and I'll get you a beta build of Glider to try out.
Here is the setting screen from 8player.
It says something like "Check DMR rights"
Ignoring DMR should help !
By the way, my goal is not to play music on my TV, but it is the only DMR I have at the moment. I'm planing to buy a network player (or build a RPI renderer)
Thanks for that screenshot.
We'd prefer not to add options like this to Glider, since one of the main goals of our product is to make DLNA devices more accessible to people who have no idea what 'Check DMR rights' might mean In this case, we'll just disable those checks for LG TV's.
Glider also has native support for OpenHome renderers, so that gives you plenty of options when it come time to choose an RPI based network player (Volumio, Runeaudio, etc.)
Thanks for the beta, but it doesn't help :'(
Even some duplicates albums (FLAC + m4a) won't play on LG render… but play smoothly on Apple TV !
But I'm confident with the streamer whether I buy one (Yamaha, Hegel, Technics) or build it on my own (RPI, Allo…)
Are you able to select the TV with the beta build, or is it still grayed out?
TV menu is still grayed out.
OK, we didn't get that build right then. I'll send you a new one as soon as I can.
It's better now !
Just to support the development, I'll buy the app for sure event if I'm won't be using it a lot !
Thanks! I really appreciate that.
FYI – This feature is now available in version 1.8.0 on the App Store.

Deep in the galaxy, a rather unremarkable planet revolves in orbit around a yellow sun. *The planet is named Rache, and the people worship a goddess of fertility and *sexuality, Laek. *Rache is a very hedonistic society which is encouraged and promoted byt the goddess, who resides in a castle high on a mountain with her husband, Drache.
Laek strolled down the palace hallway to the kitchen. *Stretching, she allowed her dark brown hair to cascade down her back. *She padded down the hall on her bare feet. *When she got to the kitchen, she flashed a smile as her twinkling violet eyes dazzled , Vasser, her male attendant.
"Vasser, could you be a dear and bring me a snack. *I'lm going to take a bath. *My husband won't be home for a while yet, so if you'd like, I could also use a help with washing my back." She flashed her sexiest smile as her eyes spoke suggestively to him. *
Vasser just gulped and did his best to hide the smile creeping across his face.

| 8.5°C Belfast
A plan for adapting to the effects of climate change has been launched by the Scottish Government.
it includes suggestions such as "check the weather forecast regularly" and "get involved in community energy" as it aims to encourage Scotland's communities to become more adaptable and resilient to the changing climate.
The five-year plan warns Scots should expect milder, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers, along with more frequent extreme weather.
It adds average temperatures between 2008 and 2017 were approximately 1C warmer than in the pre-industrial era.
Our climate is changing in tangible and ongoing ways so it is vital that we continue to build on our world-leading work around climate change mitigationRoseanna Cunningham, Climate Change Secretary
Detailing various environmental policies and programmes in place in Scotland, the proposal document also wants individuals and organisations to change their behaviour to reduce the impact of climate change.
Calling for public feedback about the plan, Climate Change Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: "The scale of the global challenge is clear.
"Our climate is changing in tangible and ongoing ways so it is vital that we continue to build on our world-leading work around climate change mitigation to secure the benefits of a climate-ready and resilient Scotland for future generations.
"Ensuring our communities, society, economy and environment are resilient to the expected intensifying impacts of climate change is a crucial step to delivering a greener, fairer and more prosperous country."
She added: "Our next adaptation programme will both help to create a better society for everyone who lives here and unlock Scotland's immense potential as a nation.
"I also want this to deliver a step change in collaboration, emphasising the wider co-benefits of climate action and exploring how individuals, communities and businesses make important choices.
"We have already consulted on our new programme with stakeholders over digital media and through informal consultation groups, and I look forward now to hearing wider views on how we can work together to continue to strengthen our approach to climate change adaptation."

Apple Veteran Overseeing Electric-Car Project Leaving Company
Steve Zadesky said to be leaving for personal reasons
The Apple Inc. AAPL -2.27% veteran tasked with spearheading the company's efforts to build an automobile is leaving the company, according to people familiar with the matter.
Steve Zadesky, a 16-year Apple veteran who has been overseeing its electric-car project for the last two years, has told people he is leaving the company. The timing of his departure isn't clear. He is still at Apple for now.
A person familiar with the matter said Mr. Zadesky's departure was for personal reasons and wasn't related to his performance. Mr. Zadesky didn't immediately respond to a message sent through LinkedIn.
Still, the pending departure marks a setback for one of the most talked-about projects in the technology field. Apple has become the most valuable company in the world making consumer electronics products, but moving into the automotive sector poses big new challenges.
Mr. Zadesky, who worked on the iPod and the iPhone during his career, was given permission in 2014 to start investigating Apple's entry into the electric car market. Last year, Apple designated the initiative—code-named "Titan"— a committed project and set a ship date of 2019.
In Apple's parlance, a "ship date" doesn't necessarily mean the date that customers receive a new product; it can also mean the date that engineers sign off on the product's main features. Some team members expect that it might take several more years to get a differentiated electric car ready, the people familiar with the matter said.
An engineer at Ford Motor Co. before joining Apple in 1999, Mr. Zadesky was in charge of tripling the size of the automotive team—already at around 600 employees in September—while coming up with a vision for the product.
The team has encountered some problems, according to people familiar with the matter, in laying out clear goals for the project. Apple has urged the team to push ahead with ambitious deadlines even though some on the team felt that those targets weren't attainable, these people said.
Apple hasn't confirmed that it is working on a car, but it has hired a slew of veterans from the automobile industry and experts in battery technology and autonomous driving. At the WSJDLive conference in October, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said that he thinks "there will be a massive change in the industry" as software and autonomous driving become more important.

When we say 'all-time', we mean since 2004. We have a who's who of the best minutes-per-goal strikers in the Champo. We have set the minimum minutes at 4,000 to weed out the one-season wonders.
It's worth noting, by the way, that none of the top all-time total goalscorers are on this list – Ross McCormack, David Nugent, Jordan Rhodes and Billy Sharp have all scored over 100 Championship goals. But at a slower rate…
10) Leonardo Ulloa (one goal per 191 minutes for Brighton)
Scoring 23 goals in just a season and a half for Brighton was enough to earn the Argentine an £8m move to Leicester City and eventually a Premier League winner's medal. You've probably forgotten already that he went back to Brighton on loan last season. Not so magical that time.
9) Lewis Grabban (one goal per 186 minutes for Crystal Palace, Millwall, Bournemouth, Norwich, Reading, Sunderland, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest)
The top scorer in the current Championship season (14 goals in 19 games for Forest) has been doing this for an awful long time – he's played the most Championship minutes of any player on this list. He is on course for his second 20-goal season; the first came for Bournemouth in 2013/14 and was enough to earn him a ridiculous move back to the Cherries in the Premier League. Know your place, Lewis; he has scored just one top-flight goal in his career.
Lewis Grabban's last six games:
He's got a better goals-to-minutes ratio this season than Eden Hazard, Harry Kane, Mo Salah, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sergio Aguero.#NFFC pic.twitter.com/CHL5nCgaQ2
— bet365 (@bet365) December 1, 2018
8) Andre Gray (one goal per 179 minutes for Brentford and Burnley)
An astonishing rise. Just three years after leaving Luton Town and National League football, Gray was Premier League Watford's club-record signing. Betwixt and between he scored a raft of goals in the Championship for both Brentford and Burnley. The goals have dried up a tad for the Hornets, but he is going out with a member of Little Mix so there are both swings and roundabouts here.
7) Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (one goal every 175 minutes for Plymouth and Wolves)
If it hadn't been for a goalless nine-match Championship spell at Ipswich towards the end of his career, Ebanks-Blake may have been even further up this list. The Cambridge-born striker started off his Championship career at Plymouth following his release from Man United as a youngster. Twenty-one Championship goals in 18 months saw Wolves take a chance. And it was there that he forged a brilliant partnership with Chris Iwelumo to fire them into the Premier League with 25 goals in his first full season at Molineux.
6) Rickie Lambert (one goal every 169 minutes for Southampton and Cardiff City)
It seems astonishing that Lambert has only played 60 games in the Championship as he does seem the quintessential Championship striker. The fourth of his four consecutive 20-goal seasons catapulted the Saints into the Premier League, but he could do not repeat the trick for Cardiff in 2016/17 before he retired. He is the only man on this list with 11 England caps. That's 11 whole England caps.
5) Dean Ashton (one goal every 167 minutes for Crewe and Norwich City)
It now seems remarkable that Crewe were a Championship club in 2005. That was where Ashton cut his teeth and a ridiculous 17 goals in 24 games in the first half of the 2004/05 season earned him a £3m move to Norwich in the Premier League. A year later, ten goals in 28 games for a Norwich side back in the Championship earned him another move – this time to West Ham for £7m. He was forced into early retirement at the age of 26 but his record stands as a prolific striker at this level.
On this day in 2006, Dean Ashton broke his ankle in England training after being called up for the first time…
Two years later he retired from football aged just 26.
One of English football's biggest 'what ifs' 🏴 pic.twitter.com/tJdfdNeSBO
— TeamFA (@TeamFA) August 15, 2018
4) Charlie Austin (one goal every 166 minutes for Burnley and QPR)
Forty Championship goals in two seasons for Burnley really should have earned Austin a Premier League move in 2013 but his failed Hull medical prompted a switch to Harry Redknapp's QPR instead. An astonishing record of 47 goals in 89 games for the Hoops saw him score goals through promotion and relegation. He returned to the Premier League in January 2016 when he joined Southampton, and has been struggling against a return to the Championship ever since. He shouldn't fight it; he's brilliant there.
3) Dwight Gayle (one goal every 155 minutes for Peterborough, Newcastle and West Brom)
Ah, there he is. Gayle's Premier League seasons have reaped 7, 5, 3 and 6 goals. In the Championship he has scored 13, 23 and now 9 (in 17 games) goals. And that's why Newcastle fans should trust Rafa Benitez when he shunts players and they then thrive again in the second tier. Mind you, he's now lost his place in the Baggies team…
— Kieran Wentz (@kieranthebaggie) December 3, 2018
2) James Beattie (one goal every 150 minutes for Sheffield United)
Played only 18 months in the Championship but was a class apart – scoring a couple of quite wonderful free-kicks for the Blades between pretty poor spells for Everton and Stoke in the Premier League. To put things into perspective, Steve Morison has matched his 34 Championship goals in more than three times the number of minutes. Beattie – surprisingly capped five times by England – is now back in the Championship assisting Garry Monk at whichever club he is managing this week.
1) Tammy Abraham (one goal every 138 minutes for Bristol City and Aston Villa)
The intriguing man on this list because we don't know if this is his level. What we do know is that he looks very good at this level, scoring 23 goals for Bristol City on loan from Chelsea, earning him a spell at Swansea City and an unlikely brace of England caps. That he is back there with Aston Villa suggests that he might not make it at Chelsea. His 11 goals in 14 games for Villa suggest he will make it somewhere. They love him.
Imagine Tammy Abraham actually walked up to the blues section pointing at the badge. Heroic. @tammyabraham #avfc pic.twitter.com/MYVU8e24o7

The World Cup may well be your last chance to see Sven-Göran Eriksson ordering the England team around the pitch, but you can keep the memories alive by hearing his dulcet Swedish tones in your car.
Joining the stampede of technology companies capitalising on the interest in the World Cup, sat-nav company TomTom has released a free World Cup package, which lets you download navigation instructions spoken by Sven himself. The package also has information on footie points of interest in Germany and allows you to personalise your TomTom with the England flag.
If you're rushing off to the airport in the next few days and haven't got time to set it all up for yourself, online vendor GlobalPositioningSystems.co.uk is offering the latest TomTom device -- TomTom GO 910 (pictured) -- already charged and tested, with the World Cup package pre-installed.
We haven't been able to get our eager mitts on the TomTom GO 910 yet, but its vital stats look pretty impressive -- 102mm (4-inch) LCD touchscreen, 20GB hard drive (of which 8GB is taken up by maps of Europe, America and Canada), built-in MP3 player and hands-free calling capability (it acts as a hands-free car kit by connecting to your mobile using Bluetooth).
Costing £500, theTomTom 910 ain't no bargain, but it may be worth it if you're going to get plenty of use from its rich functionality. Another option, if you're on a tighter budget, is the ViaMichelin X-950, which is available for around £360 from online stores.No Sven, though. Sigh. -IM

Everything you need to know about #BPL09
Ahead of #BPL09, we give you the rundown on everything you need to know before the action gets underway.
What is the Bowls Premier League (BPL)?
The BPL, formerly the Australian Premier League (APL), is a competition created and run by Bowls Australia (BA) that is now in its seventh year and ninth instalment.
The event is a modified version of traditional bowls, with lightning fast matches and entertaining fanfare delivered by the eight franchises from around Australia and New Zealand making for a '20/20′ type format of the sport.
When and where is it?
BPL09 will be held from Monday, February 25 to Thursday, February 28 in Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
The Naenae Bowling Club will host the event for their second time. Entrance to the event is FREE!
Matches during the day will get underway from 9:00 am AEDT (11:00 am NZDT), while the night sessions begin from 4:00 pm AEDT (6:00 pm NZDT).
Can I watch it on TV?
Yes – the night sessions of BPL09 (including Thursday's finals) will be broadcast LIVE on Fox Sports and Sky Sport NZ from 4:00 pm AEDT each night (6:00 pm NZDT).
In addition to Fox Sports & Sky Sport NZ broadcasting the night sessions of BPL09, you'll also be able to stream live via Kayo Sports.
Get your 14 Day FREE trial now at www.kayosports.com.au
If I don't have Pay TV, can I still watch it?
Yes – from Tuesday to Thursday, the day sessions of BPL09 will be broadcast LIVE on BA's Facebook page via 'Rinkside Live'.
One match per session will be covered with viewers able to access the coverage from anywhere in the world, for free.
Be sure to LIKE the Bowls Australia Facebook page to ensure you are notified every time we are LIVE!
What is the event format and are there special rules?
Each of the eight BPL franchises will play each other twice over 14 rounds during the competition.
At the end of the 14 qualifying rounds, the top four teams will play off in Friday night's finals series.
The top four teams are decided by points. If teams are equal on points they will be split on net total shots (shots for minus shots against).
Finals schedule:
5:00pm 3 vs 4
6:15pm 1 vs 2
7:30pm: Loser of semi-final vs winner of elimination final
8:45pm: Winner of semi-final vs winner of preliminary final
Each match consists of two five-end sets, with a one-end tie-break played if required. The game format pairs, with three bowls for each player per end.
BPL matches take just over one hour from start to finish and deciding the winner is simple. The team with that wins both sets or one set and then the tie-break is the winner.
Instead of spending time rolling the jack, as per normal competitions, BPL players place the mat and advise the marker the length of the jack they would like to play to.
To keep games progressing, players will have 30 seconds to deliver their bowl from the time the jack is placed at the start of an end, or once their opposition bowl has come to a rest, ensuring the next suspenseful result is only moments away.
BPL teams will also be able to nominate one Power Play end per set, enabling teams to earn double the shots scored in that end.
Some days players just aren't on top of their game, maybe its only for a few ends, maybe its for a whole match, in order to get the best players the sport has to offer out on the green, a team coach can replace a player with a substitute during the game, but only immediately preceding the delivery of a bowl by their team player.
If a tie-break is required to decide the winner, all players on both teams will join the fray, with the format changing to two-bowl-triples for that end.
Who are the franchises involved?
As mentioned, there are eight franchises involved from across Australia and New Zealand.
Brisbane Pirates – Alex Marshall, Michael Breen, Kelsey Cottrell, Dave Edwards (Coach)
Club Helensvale Gold Coast Hawks – Aron Sherriff, Nathan Rice, Georgia White, Matthew Lucas* (Coach)
Asahi Illawarra Gorillas – Jeremy Henry, Aaron Teys, Kay Moran, Wes Falconer (Coach)
Moama Murray Steamers – Ryan Bester, Michael Walker, Ellen Ryan*, Wayne Turley (Coach)
Blundstone Melbourne Roys – Aaron Wilson, Barrie Lester, Carla Krizanic, Ian Ewing (Coach)
New Zealand Blackjacks – Shannon McIlroy*, Seamus Curtin, Jo Edwards, Richard Girvan (Coach)
Blooms The Chemist Perth Suns – John Slavich, Shane Knott, Kristina Krstić, Pieter Harris (Coach)
BCiB Sydney Lions – Ray Pearse, Ben Twist*, Karen Murphy, Steve Glasson (Coach)
(* denotes new playing or coaching member)
Is there prize money?
The BPL competition carries a huge $100,000 prize-pool, with the winning franchise handed a $25,000 cheque.
Who won the event last time?
The hometown heroes Brisbane Pirates were victorious last time out in BPL08 at Club Pine Rivers, Brisbane (QLD), defeating the Moama Murray Steamers in the final.
Ryan Bester was the tournament MVP.

Who says British inventiveness is dead and that Britain is just full of gammon-faced right-wing Brexiteer moronic savages? Not according to enterprising British firm Willy Warmers R Us, which has just launched an ingenious range of 'dog-shaped' genital warmers.
Head of Product Development Sally Bowles said: 'Sadly, many lonely elderly men freeze to death in winter because they forget to pay their extortionate energy bills, get a bit confused and can't find the on switch for heating. After taking a couple of Viagra pills, the willy warmers are designed to fit over erect penises and, using the latest advanced technology, will warm up not only willies, but the entire body within just a few minutes, with no side effects- other than the dog's shame'.
Dick Power, pictured here modelling one of the units, said: 'I was a bit sceptical at first but it's a godsend – it's amazing what they can do these days. Not only that, but they sent me a free pen just for enquiring. At last I can afford my energy bills and even remember to pay them.'
Rip-off energy firms and old folks homes dismissed the products as 'a scam of the highest order' and called for them to be banned. However, a spokesperson for the Office of Fair Trading said they have passed all tests and recommends a global roll-out of the products – 'they really are the dog's bollocks – quite literally'.

Thank you for all your comments Andrew, not only here at ViewAt. Places like this small cave church are for me a part of the cultural heritage of mankind. And there is to much to protect it all and preserve it for future generations, but at least I can try to do a little bit of documentation. - In case you'll visit Venice again (or Bavaria) please let me know.
