9 Tips on How to Move Offices
Moving is often a stressful, overwhelming undertaking. If you've been tasked with organizing an office move, you've probably looked around and envisaged packing everything up into boxes, transporting it across the city before unpacking and organizing it all over again. If you're feeling like the task is just too big, check out these tips on how to move offices with minimal stress.
1. Order boxes online
Make sure you prepare for the packing process well in advance by ordering plenty of sturdy boxes. Order a variety of sizes, and distribute some boxes around the office so that people can begin to pack up their belongings well in advance.
2. Do an office declutter before you start
Offices tend to become cluttered over time. You'll be amazed by how much stuff is lurking in the various cupboads and drawers. Liase with the office manager and do a big declutter before you start packing. There is no point in lugging someone's old junk to the new office.
3. Pack boxes strategically
Packing the boxes should be done strategically to make the move easy. Try to keep similar items in the same box so that unpacking is less hectic. Keep heavier items at the bottom, and make sure that you don't pack the box full of only heavy items (like books) but that you spread the weight around.
4. Label everything carefully
Dozens of unlabeled boxes will make the unpacking process much more difficult than it has to be. Label the room and the contents so that you know exactly what you'll find inside.
5. Make sure everyone removes personal belongings
It shouldn't be your job to organize everyone's belongings. You'll find that your task is much simpler once everyone's personal items have been removed. To make packing more straightforward, request that all personal belongings are cleared a few days in advance.
6. Make sure everyone packs up their own desk
Again, you can't pack up everything. Set an afternoon when everyone packs up their desk, labels their boxes, and leaves them somewhere convenient for you. You'll be amazed by how much this will help.
7. Speak with the IT department
Of all departments in your office, the IT department is likely to have the most difficult task. They'll need to set up new software and programs at the new office while also disconnecting and packing up the equipment already installed at your current office. Set up a meeting with them in advance so that you can discuss important dates they will need to know.
8. Make a list of new items you may need
There will be certain items that won't fit into your new office or that won't be necessary. There will also be new items like tables, chairs or kitchen appliances you'll need to order for the new office.
9. Find a good moving service
Booking a reliable, professional moving service is the final step. For the best office movers Singapore has to offer, check out Shalom, who are thoroughly experienced and efficient.

Pre-planting RosesAll roses should be planted in well-drained topsoil.
Pre-planting Instructions
Take care to prevent windburn to plants during transport by covering them well. Keep plants cool, in a shady area, and well watered until they are planted. Cover the root ball of balled and bur lapped trees to prevent root drying.
Soil Preparation
All roses should be planted in well-drained topsoil. If there is less than 20 cm. of topsoil in the planting area additional topsoil should be added. As you dig a hole separate the topsoil from the heavy subsoil. Discard the subsoil and replace it with rich topsoil. Do not pull heavy subsoil in around a plant as backfill. Add one part peat moss or prepared soil mix to three parts soil that you have dug from the planting hole. If, after digging a hole, you find the subsoil to be excessively heavy, having a high clay content; dig the hole down an additional 15-30 cm. (6-12 in.). Fill this space with clean sand or gravel to enhance the subsoil drainage conditions.
About RosesPerennials can be planted anytime from spring to fall. If the ground can be worked you can plant.
The colour Languages of Roses
- Red - Love
- Pink - Grace / Gratitude
- White - Worthiness / Purity
- Yellow - Jealousy
It is a common misconception that rose gardening is the domain of expert gardeners. With a large variety of types and growth habits, a rose bush can add colour and fragrance to almost any garden. Many roses can survive Calgary's harsh winter climate with little more care than a flowering shrub or perennial, while other more tender varieties need winter protection. There are two main classifications that will be used for the purpose of Calgary rose gardening - hardy shrub roses and tender roses. greengate carries a large variety of roses, both hardy and tender. Please feel free to consult our helpful greengate staff if you have any rose questions.
Hardy shrub roses
These easily grown Calgary favorites are suited to novice and expert gardeners alike. Those who want summer roses without the winterization needed by tender roses find these to be an excellent option. For those gardeners who want decorative hedges and borders, these roses with their shrub-like growth habit are often ideal.
Explorer rose
Developed in Canada and named for early Canadian explorers, these disease resistant hybrids bloom prolifically on new growth. Many varieties bloom all summer, with others blooming twice, in early and later summer.
Parkland rose
Developed in Manitoba expressly to survive through Canada's winter, these compact shrub roses will bloom and re-bloom throughout the summer.
Rugosa and other shrub roses
These roses are vigorous and hardy with very prickly stems. They come in a large variety of colours and are usually fragrant. These plants are good for hedges and garden beds.
Climbing roses
True climbing roses do not do well in the Calgary climate. There are however, some tall hardy shrub roses that can be trained to climb a trellis or a fence.
Tender roses
Tender roses are those roses that require protection to ensure survival. The huge variety of bloom sizes and colours make these tender roses a beautiful addition to many Calgary gardens.
Hybrid tea roses
These garden favorites feature large flowers on long stems, with usually one flower per stem. They make excellent cut flowers and come in many varieties and multiple colours.
Floribunda rose
Large quantities of smaller flowers are presented in clusters on these bushy plants. With their shrub-like growth habit and abundance of flowers, floribundas are an excellent choice for garden beds and border plants.
Grandiflora rose
This combination of hybrid tea and floribunda roses produces large vigorous plants, and flowers on long stems. Flowers on grandiflora are present both singly and in clusters. They make good cut flowers.
Miniature roses
These perfect, scaled down versions of hybrid tea and floribunda roses come in a stunning variety of colours. These miniatures will bloom continually throughout the summer and can be grown both in and outdoors.
Rose Care and Growing TipsSpent flowers on perennial plants should be removed, or deadheaded, to encourage flower production.
When gardeners come to us asking for suggestions for plants that bloom most of the summer, are bright and cheery, and need little attention, it seems that the rose has been overlooked as a very viable and beautiful addition to your garden. There have been so many great roses that have come out in the past few years that are just wonderful - like the Hope for Humanity rose, a true deep red hardy shrub rose, the Campfire Hardy shrub rose with its full summer long and multicoloured blooms, and the Olds College commemorative hardy shrub rose.
You may wonder why we are including roses to our July newsletter and that's because roses are a perfect addition to a late summer garden even though they look like they are almost done blooming right now. The answer: there's a second season of rose blossoms just around the corner. Try not to miss it.
Many roses have a spring and a late summer bloom period, so when you are looking for the perfect addition to beautify your garden in summer, it is the rose.
Roses generally bloom best in June and early July, but as evening temperatures start to drop and days become shorter in the late summer and even into the early fall, a second bloom is triggered and rose bush shows us why it's the queen of the garden. Often, these blooms last longer than the spring editions for exactly the same reasons that make them bloom a second time: shorter days and cooler evenings.
Finding and Growing the Perfect Rose
Pick roses that suit your garden. There are many heights and colours to choose from. Use height in semi climbers like the John Cabot, use smaller rose like the Campfire to nestle in along edges.
Most hardy shrub roses can survive with little to no work, spraying or covering. So, they have that going for them. If you are looking for more fragrance and a more formal rose garden look go for tea roses, but know that they will need more care and certainly they will need winter protection and some awareness on their progress come spring.
Where can you fill in with roses? Imagine them in their most mature state. Will they fit? Choose roses that are the right size. If you have more room can you mass plant a single variety or will a cluster of different roses be more to your liking? Look at other yards. Do they have mass plantings of roses? If they do, then you know they are low maintenance and great performers.
so fit them in where they love it. Sunshine is the one essential ingredient for growing roses. Use a minimum of six hours a day. Or forget it.
Roses are excellent examples of why it is a good idea to buy locally. Canadian grown roses have already experienced two Canadian winters. You can find roses that are grown in the U.S. Sometimes they can be cheaper. Yet the quality of a Canadian rose bush over an American grown is that the latter is prone to dying through our winters.
Keep in mind our selection will become less as summer progresses so your best chance to get a rose you really want becomes a little more difficult the longer you wait.
If you're thinking about getting something new and exciting. Think about going a little old school on your garden scheme and consider planting roses.
Roses are heavy feeders that require water at all times during the growing season. A lack of moisture will slow or halt blooming and growth. It is important that the soil has good drainage and that water never collects around the roots of roses.
- Allow the soil to become dry only a little below the surface
Water deeply at the base of the plants but not enough to allow water to collect for any length of time.
- Mulch may be added to increase moisture retention in hot, dry weather.
Deadheading for flowering
As your rose blooms whither they should be removed from the stem. Remove head at a shoot or leaf junction to encourage further flowering
- Use clean, sharp tools. Ensure your cuts are clean and not jagged..
- Prune from the base of the plant upwards Keeping stock of the roses overall shape..
- Open the centre of the plant to light and air circulation..
- Cut at a 45-degree angle, about 1/4 inch above a bud that is facing toward the outside of the plant..
- Remove all broken, dead, dying or diseased wood. This includes any branches that look dry, shriveled or black. Cut down the stem until the inside of the cane is white..
- Any weak branches thinner than a pen should be removed..
- Remove sucker growth below the graft.
Roses benefit from regular fertilizing, such as 20-20-20, 15-30-15 or 20-30-20. Fertilize only until about the middle of August. Later fertilizing stimulates new growth, which could be harmed by early frost. Fertilizer does not make roses (or any flower) bloom. They bloom when they receive enough sunlight, although some will stop blooming in very hot weather.
Winter protection for tender roses
- Prune long stems down to about twelve to eighteen inches (45 cm.)
- Water in well
- Mulch heavily at base with dry leaves, vermiculite or straw
- Cover stems with a rose cone with the top cut out.
- Fill container with mulch, and cover the open area with cloth to allow air circulation during chinooks.
- Do not cover too soon in the fall. Wait until considerable frost is expected. Covering too soon stops them from getting cold and entering dormancy, which is necessary for their survival.
- Uncover in spring when poplar trees are leafing out. Uncovering them too soon to see if they are alive is likely to kill them during another frost. Be prepared to cover them when frost is expected.
Note: Snow is an excellent insulator and may be piled on both shrub and covered tea roses for added moisture and protection.

Everyone knows that the disposal of biomedical waste has to be done in a specific manner so as not to damage the environment or endanger the safety of the patients or medical staff. The methods used are highly dependent on the type of medical waste that needs to be disposed of.
Biomedical waste management is vital to ensure that waste is stored, transported, and treated correctly. Value Dumpster Rental Jacksonville takes care of all your garbage needs so you don't have to worry about it. Our disposal methods are certified and hygienic so you can rest assured that the waste will not pose a risk to the environment, caregivers, or anyone else who comes into contact with it. We are proud to be an eco-friendly company that stays up to date on their list of hazardous items, thus making it cheaper for organizations to manage their waste management costs.
What are the different types of biomedical waste?
The waste produced in hospitals, labs, veterinary clinics, or at the dentist's, has to be handled in a specific way. There are 4 main types of medical waste and all need to be handled differently:
General medical waste
Infectious medical waste
Hazardous medical waste
Radioactive medical waste
Why is there a need for biomedical waste color coding?
The main purpose of color coding is to help people distinguish between the different types of biomedical waste. The waste is sorted into different categories with each category pertaining to a single color.
Color coding represents the very basic principle that all waste doesn't go to the same place. To properly dispose of biomedical waste, you need to know what materials go where. In the past, biomedical waste was handled by incineration instead of going to landfills but nowadays there exist more practical and modern ways to handle the waste.
Color coding for biomedical waste
Below is a summary of the color classification codes for different types of medical waste:
1. Yellow
Yellow covers most types of infectious biomedical waste. The waste can be collected in yellow containers or plastic bags but in the case of liquids, these have to be collected in separate leak-proof containers. Some of the waste that is collected in containers with a yellow lid includes:
- Pathological waste
- Soiled infectious waste (contaminated with blood)
- Clinical lab waste
- Pharmaceutical waste such as expired meds
2. Red
Red-colored containers are used for contaminated hazardous waste. For disposal, the contaminated hazardous waste is destroyed using a medical waste shredder.
Containers with a red lid may also be used to hold anatomical waste. This refers to animal carcasses or body parts arising from healthcare that are non-infectious.
3. White / Translucent
These are used for sharps such as needles or glasses that are capable of inflicting puncture or cut wounds. The sharps should go into containers that are leak, tamper, puncture, and leak proof.
White may also be used for radioactive medical waste but the color may vary slightly in different countries. The radioactive waste has to be sealed in a lead container.
4. Black
Black is used for general medical waste. The black plastic bag may be used on its own or placed inside a black container.
Wherever necessary, the waste may need to be autoclaved to sterilize it before prepping it for disposal.
Biomedical waste management color coding ensures that medical waste is sorted for proper disposal. By adhering to the classification process, companies and organizations find it easier to manage their waste management costs and keep their institution free from contamination.

Law professor Jonathan Turley joined Bret Baier to dish Fox "News" viewers a dose of reality after Michael Cohen's guilty plea.
First, he told Bret Baier that it is possible Trump is an "unindicted co-conspirator" with regard to the Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal payments, since Cohen specifically admitted that he committed the crime he pleaded guilty to on the direction of Donald Trump.
"If prosecutors accept what is in this indictment, then the president just became an unindicted co-conspirator," Turley told Bret Baier. "If they believe that's what's in this indictment was true [that] he was directed to make this payment."
Every day it feels like we're replaying the Nixon years all over again, with more and more at stake.
Turley also pointed out that in the end, it could be the Cohen case that brings Trump down, observing that it has more danger than the Manafort case.
Isn't that always the way it goes? Get sloppy with the mistress payoffs, and you might be impeached. Sell out to Russia and the world yawns. It's weird, but probably how it will play out.

"What's in a name? Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, published 50 years ago, is still a widely read book on the American Indians. The title of the book comes from the last line of Stephen Vincent Benét's poem, "American Names," published in the Yale Review in 1927, about someone who finds his ancestral European attachments fading as his native American attachments grow:" from the book reviews written by Christopher Flannery – for the Claremont Review of Books.
O how time changes the past!
Flannery supplies the relevant part of Benét's poem in his piece but I think the poem in its entirety should be seen. It certainly would not be allowed to be published at Yale today as our guardians of thought and speech now suppress anything they do not like.
I have fallen in love with American names,
The sharp names that never get fat,
The snakeskin-titles of mining-claims,
The plumed war-bonnet of Medicine Hat,
Tucson and Deadwood and Lost Mule Flat.
Seine and Piave are silver spoons,
But the spoonbowl-metal is thin and worn,
There are English counties like hunting-tunes
Played on the keys of a postboy's horn,
But I will remember where I was born.
I will remember Carquinez Straits,
Little French Lick and Lundy's Lane,
The Yankee ships and the Yankee dates
And the bullet-towns of Calamity Jane.
I will remember Skunktown Plain.
I will fall in love with a Salem tree
And a rawhide quirt from Santa Cruz,
I will get me a bottle of Boston sea
And a blue-gum nigger to sing me blues.
I am tired of loving a foreign muse.
Rue des Martyrs and Bleeding-Heart-Yard,
Senlis, Pisa, and Blindman's Oast,
It is a magic ghost you guard
But I am sick for a newer ghost,
Harrisburg, Spartanburg, Painted Post.
Henry and John were never so
And Henry and John were always right?
Granted, but when it was time to go
And the tea and the laurels had stood all night,
Did they never watch for Nantucket Light?
I shall not rest quiet in Montparnasse.
I shall not lie easy at Winchelsea.
You may bury my body in Sussex grass,
You may bury my tongue at Champmedy.
I shall not be there. I shall rise and pass.
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee.
So – Dee Brown wrote a best-seller in 1971 full of white guilt over the treatment of the American Indians by America but titles his book from a poem that has little respect for American blacks.
For another perspective on Dee Brown I include this article from SFGate.com
Dee Brown — historian, wrote 'Wounded Knee'
By Douglas Martin, New York Times Dec. 16, 2002Updated: July 9, 2018 8:18 p.m.
Dee Brown, whose Homeric vision of the American West, meticulous research and masterly storytelling produced the 1970 best-seller "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West," died at his home in Little Rock, Ark., on Thursday. He was 94.
Mr. Brown was a librarian who wrote books after his children had gone to bed when "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" was published. The book, which sold more than 5 million copies, told a grim, revisionist tale of the ruthless mistreatment and eventual displacement of the Indian by white conquerors from 1860 to 1890.
Some historians have since taken a more moderate view, but before Mr. Brown's portrayal of white beastliness and Indian saintliness entered the public consciousness, the history of Western conquest was usually told from a much more Eurocentric point of view, a perspective echoed by countless Hollywood movies.
Peter Farb, writing in The New York Review of Books in 1971, summed up Mr. Brown's new interpretation: "The Indian wars were shown to be the dirty murders they were."
The racism and wanton carelessness of whites and the betrayals and killings they perpetrated were relentless themes for Mr. Brown, who was white himself. His vivid terms are the ones used by Indians at the time: they called General Custer "Hard Backsides" and white soldiers "maggots."
"What surprised me most was how much the Indians believed the white man over and over again," Mr. Brown said in an interview with The New York Post in 1971. "Their trust in authority was amazing. They just never seemed to believe that anyone could lie." He said that over the two years he banged out the book on the typewriter he did not stop using until he was past 90, he tried to imagine himself as a Native American.
"I'm a very, very old Indian, and I'm remembering the past," he said. "And I'm looking toward the Atlantic Ocean."
"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" had a powerful impact on Indians themselves.
Its final scene takes place in 1890 at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota, where 300 Sioux men, women and children were killed by the 7th Cavalry. Young Sioux returned to Wounded Knee in 1973 to protest federal Indian policies and had a renewed confrontation with the government.
In many of his 29 fiction and nonfiction books, Mr. Brown strove to see things from a new, often contrarian perspective. And contrary to most people's expectations, he was not a Westerner. His history of railroads in the West was an expose of their treacherous dealings, and his book on the women of the region sought to dispel what he called the "sunbonnet myth" of the stoic pioneer women.
Dorris Alexander Brown, who from early in his life preferred to be called Dee, was born on Feb. 29, 1908. After his father died when he was 5, he lived with his mother, Lulu, a brother and two sisters in Ouachita County, Ark., where his mother worked as a store clerk.
His grandmother's father had known Davy Crockett, and she regaled Mr. Brown with tales about him. By the time Mr. Brown entered first grade, he had read Robert Louis Stevenson and Mark Twain. He went to cowboy movies with Indian friends. When he asked one what he thought of the cinematic portrayal of Indians, the friend replied, "Those aren't real Indians."
When he was about 15, he and a cousin scraped together enough money to buy a small hand press and print a neighborhood tabloid. He wrote tough editorials,
including one that condemned the booming local oil business for "assassinating" the environment.
After graduating from high school, Mr. Brown worked as a printer and reporter in Harrison, Ark., and then entered Arkansas State Teachers College as a history major, working in the college library.
He earned library degrees and worked as a government librarian before and after World War II; his military service was as a librarian, and he eventually joined the library at the University of Illinois, becoming a professor. He remained there until his retirement in 1972.
Mr. Brown's third-place award in a short-story contest caught the attention of literary agents in the 1930s, and he received a contract to write a satiric novel about the Washington bureaucracy. But the offer was withdrawn because of the political climate during World War II, and instead he wrote a novel about Davy Crockett in two months.
He and a colleague, Martin Schmidt, teamed up after the war to produce three books using photographs from the National Archives: "Fighting Indians of the West," "Trail-Driving Days" and "The Settlers' West."
After several more nonfiction books, he turned to novels in the mid-1950s. He wrote 11; the last, "The Way to a Bright Star," was published in 1998, when he was 90.
But Mr. Brown said nonfiction was always his first love, even as some professional historians criticized what they called his willingness to sacrifice precision for pizzazz. In an interview with Publishers Weekly, he responded like a librarian: "I have documents for everything in the book."
In 1934, he married Sara Baird Stroud, who died last year. He is survived by a son, Lt. Colonel Mitchell Brown of Sacramento; a daughter, Linda Luise Brown; a sister, Corinne Vanlandingham of Ellijay, Ga.; and one grandson.
Mr. Brown was a hefty six-footer with a relaxed confidence whom people sometimes compared to John Wayne. His love for the West certainly seemed as large and pure as that in Wayne's films. In "The Westerners," published in 1974, he wrote:
"The West is a tragedy relieved by interludes of comedy. It is a tale of good and evil, a morality play of personified abstractions. Only an epic poet, a Homer, could encompass the American West and sing its essence into one compact volume."

Because of distribution issues due to Covid, it was at first decided not to produce a 2021 calendar. However, following many requests and in the interests of continuity it was decided to release it online. The calendar can be viewed and downloaded here. The Calendar is compiled by Colm Mulcahy emeritus professor of mathematics Spelman College GA Celebrating Women in Maths, Science, Engineering & Technology Robert Boyle Summer School The 9th annual Robert Boyle Summer School took place on Saturday 26 June. The theme of the event was Women in STEM; past, present & future. The sessions included historical women in STEM); STEM Journeys; Lady Ranelagh; The Incomparable Life of Robert Boyle's Sister book launch; keynote address from Prof Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell on the discovery of radio pulsars, and a panel discussion titled "where do we go from here?". Of particular interest to many of you will be the presentation by Colm Mulcahy on 'Celebrating Women in Irish Mathematics'. Colm has very kindly shared his slides for those interested. Dr Liz Bruton also presented on historical women in STEM, but with a focus on engineering. Liz's talk mentioned one Irene C McDowell, a woman who supplied electricity to 4-5 homes and businesses in Finglas in the 1920s, and Liz has a great blog about her that is well worth a read. Keep an eye on www.robertboyle.ie, where you will be able to play-back the sessions in the coming week. THE HEAVENTREE OF STARS -DUNSINK OBSERVATORY "There will be a total eclipse this year: autumn some time. Now that I come to think of it that ball falls at Greenwich time. It's the clock is worked by an electric wire …" Ulysses, James Joyce Heaventree of Stars is an annual event celebrating maths, science and astronomy in Ulysses. It was hosted (virtually) at Dunsink Observatory on Thursday 10 June 2021. The evening was compered by Darina Gallagher and included Prof Peter Gallagher. DIAS, Prof Luke Drury, DIAS, DIAS doctoral researchers Aoife Ryan and Pearse Murphy and Eoin Gill. Andrew Basquille (James Joyce Tower and Museum) sang wonderfully, (his) Song of Stephen and Bloom, Loves Old Sweet Song and the Meeting of the Waters. Eoin Gill (Calmast) recounted an encounter with Joyce's ghost and then explored the theme of water in Ulysses. Watch the event back here. STEMreach STEMreach looking ahead to the new academic year, the Calmast STEMReach programme will commence once more in September. The initiative was developed to provide sustained engagement through partnership in the South-East in Ireland. The problem solving module is very popular with Transition Year Coordinators and maths teachers. It will be delivered remotely in the Autumn term, so schools anywhere might be interested to participate. Calmast would also welcome enquires from schools in Northern Ireland. STEMreach connects higher education, industry, governmental and non-governmental bodies with primary and post-primary schools and wider society and is designed to benefit educational attainment, economy and culture in the region. If you are interested in getting involved with STEMreach for TY in the new academic year please email firstname.lastname@example.com Find out more https://www.calmast.ie/stemreach-2/ Schools News The Leaving Certificate is over and school is officially finished across the island of Ireland for the summer! It has been a tough year for teachers, school staff and students and we hope you enjoy a well deserved break. NI: For the first time in decades, grammar schools have not used transfer tests to decide which pupils to admit. The AQE and Post-Primary Transfer Consortium (PPTC) tests were cancelled this year due to COVID-19, and as a result, almost all grammar schools have not used any academic criteria to select pupils for September. Parents of primary seven pupils were encouraged to name at least four schools they wanted their children to transfer to, in order of preference. Non-selective schools use relatively similar criteria each year, but with no transfer tests in 2020-21, grammars have had to draw up alternative criteria to those they would have used previously. The Education Authority said that 23,535 children were due to transfer to post-primary in September and that almost 85% of pupils would get a place in their first-preference school. For those in secondary education awaiting results, AS and A level results will be released on 10 August, followed by the release of GCSE results on 12 August. ROI Primary: This year saw the return to standardised testing in primary schools. Each year, schools use standardised tests in mathematics and reading with children in 2nd, 4th and 6th class, however last year the tests were cancelled due to COVID-19. This year saw a return to the tests for pupils. Results had to be in by 23rd June and the results will be of interest to many. ROI Secondary: The Leaving Certificate went off without much controversy, however some queries were raised about the higher level Maths Paper 1. In this year's paper, students had to answer four out of six questions in Section A and two out of four questions in Section B. Calculus dominated the paper and some were disappointed to have no financial maths featured. Some question phrasing was questioned by teachers, and some thought that Q10 was a trap, in that part A was easy but part B was difficult and would require novel thinking.

Creating our Future aims to build on the success of research and science in our battle against Covid-19 and ask the public how we can shape a better Ireland through research and science.The conversation will begin in July and will run until November and will be overseen by an Advisory Forum, which was convened by Minister Simon Harris. The programme will be managed by SFI and we would encourage people to get involved and in particular would urge people to voice the importance of mathematics and its applications.

The blog is a very interesting read and gives great insight into the pioneering women in maths in Ireland. Thanks to Colm Mulcahy for his work in creating this wonderful resource. Some interesting points to note from the data: Most of the very early women here are believed to have been home schooled, receiving no formal education past primary level. Women born in, reared in, or (at least partially) educated in Ulster account for 27 of the 55 covered in the blog. We know of 21 with masters degrees. At least 40 taught in schools for at least one year, of whom 4 also lectured at the 3rd level at some stage. In total, 44 of the 55 were involved in instruction. 14 did at least some research (this includes the 7 with masters by thesis). Read the full blog here. The 24th Maths Ireland Blog celebrating mathematical people associated with various counties, North and South, features County Offaly. Other areas covered are: Donegal, Wexford, Armagh, Limerick, Westmeath, Mayo, Belfast, Wicklow, Kerry, Galway, Monaghan, Tipperary, Sligo, Carlow, Down, Cork, Cavan, Laois, Londonderry, Meath, Leitrim, Dublin, and Clare. This important archive is curated by Colm Mulcahy, professor emeritus, Spelman College, GA.

Don't forget -- it's about accuracy, not speed. https://www.theprimaryplanet.ie/Maths.aspx?maths_id=32 Top unsolved problems in maths Twenty-one years ago, in May 2000, mathematicians released a list of the top seven unsolved problems in the field. Answering them would offer major new insights in fundamental mathematics. The seven Millennium Prize Problems were selected by the founding scientific advisory board of the Clay Mathematics Institute, who announced a prize of $1 million for each solution or counterexample that would effectively resolve one of these problems for the first time. Despite the fanfare and monetary incentive, after 21 years, only the Poincaré conjecture has been solved. How long will it take for the next solution? Read more about the unsolved problems here. Sign the Petition! Dunsink Observatory is part of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) and has been operated by DIAS since 1947. DIAS has a long term lease from the owner of the observatory, the Office of Public Works (OPW). Every Year during Maths Week, The Hamilton Walk goes from Dunsink Observatory to Brooms Bridge to mark the famous discovery of quaternions by William Rowan Hamiltom. It follows the route of a proposed new cycle route - The Hamilton Way. The virtual Hamilton Walk can be seen HERE The pedestrian and cycle route would link Dunsink Observatory, the Royal Canal Greenway, Ashtown, and the Tolka Valley Greenway and make the observatory more accessible for all. The 450 m long "Hamilton Way" would enable observatory staff and members of the public to access the Observatory in a safe and convenient manner by foot, bike or wheelchair. This would transform access to the Observatory and open it up to many more visitors from the local area and beyond. Please click here to support the petition to Fingal County Council and Dublin City Council. Share your thoughts on the Hamilton Way by emailing email@example.com. All support welcome!

DCBEAGLE Challenges BEYOND THE TEXTBOOK – Maths Week Ireland July 2021 Douglas Buchanan ~ email@example.com ~ www.dcbeagle.com ~ @dcbeagle1 Formal holiday homework- why we should not impose it onto the pupils Teachthought.com outlines many aspects on why children should not be burdened with homework over the summer break. Students are learning all the time in the 21st century. More homework doesn't necessarily equate to higher achievement. Countries that assign more homework don't outperform those with less homework. Family time is more important during the holidays. For students who travel during the holidays, homework may impede learning on their trip. Kids need time to be kids. Some education experts recommend an end to all homework. You can make the holidays a time for an "open project" for extra credit. Students might learn more from observing the real world. Kids need rest! Many parents and students dislike holiday homework. To read the full document click here. From my personal point of view I find formal holiday homework is a chore and who likes doing chores?! Not only is this for the pupil and family but for the teacher. Who wants to spend hours in the first week of an academic year marking screes of written work? I observed many occasions when there were complaints and criticisms from parents that their children's work was not marked and very little feedback. However, pupils need encouragement to delve into the world of puzzles and board games. This month's puzzle – taken from a Henry Ernest Dudeney book Exploring the Desert Nine travellers, each possessing a car, meet on the eastern edge of a desert. They wish to explore the interior, always going due west. Each car can travel forty miles on the contents of the engine tank, which holds a gallon of fuel, and each can carry nine extra gallon cans of fuel and no more. Unopened cans can alone be transferred from car to car. What is the greatest distance at which they can enter the desert without making any depots of fuel for the return journey?

Our friends from Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival who visit us each year have a wonderful website of activities which you can solve and then investigate how they work or how to create easier ways to solve the problem or expand the activity into a detailed project: https://www.jrmf.org/activity-archive. And the booklets are projects in themselves: https://www.jrmf.org/booklets. What a wonderful way to spend you rainy days during the summer break! Exploring the Desert solution The nine men, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, all go 40 miles together on the I gal. in their engine tanks, when A transfers I gal. to each of the other eight and has I gal. left to return home. The eight go another 40 miles, when B transfers I gal. to each of the other seven and has 2 gals. to take him home. The seven go another 40 miles, when C transfers I gal. to each of the six others and returns home on the remaining 3 gals. The six go another 40 miles, when D gives each of five I gal. and returns home. The five go 40 miles, when E gives each of four I gal. and returns home. The four go another 40 miles, when F gives each of three I gal. and returns home. The three go 40 miles, when G gives each of two I gal. and returns home. The two go 40 miles, when H gives I gal. to J and returns home. Finally, the last man, J, goes another 40 miles and then has 9 gals. to take him home. Thus J has gone 360 miles out and home, the greatest distance in a straight line that could be reached under the conditions. Final words Wishing you all well and do keep healthy and safe and I will be back in September in a happier environment – I hope!

Uquid Digital said that XRP integration has encouraged more customers to confidently opt for international transactions. The recently launched online digital marketplace praised the XRP infrastructure for its instant transactions and scalability features.
Uquid Digital, the online digital marketplace has gone out all praises for Ripple's XRP cryptocurrency. The company has said that the adoption of Ripple's XRP token has made shopping more easier and convenient for its users.
Uquid Digital also added that the key feature of Ripple's XRP is that it enables stable transactions for just under 4 seconds. The Uquid Digital online marketplace went live at the end of May 2020. The online shop allows all XRP fans to purchase across 30,000 products at a 70% discounted price.
Also, during the launch, Uquid Digital claimed itself as the world's largest digital shop for crypto users. Apart from gift cards and coupons, the online store offers games like Xbox, Rockstar, Steam, PlayStore, etc. Besides, it also offers a wide shopping range like clothing, food, travel, music, shoes, and much more. If not enough, users can also pay their utility bills like internet bill or telephone bill. Thus, the online marketplace ensures everything under one umbrella.
Benefits of Ripple's XRP Integration for Uquid
Uquid said that integration with Ripple's XRP has helped the company expand its customer base rapidly. The online shop notes that customers who did not use international transactions previously are now using their services freely. Moreover, Uquid adds that the primary reason to choose XRP was of its decentralized nature.
The decentralized cryptocurrency powered by blockchain ensures absolute transparency without any third-party intermediary. In the official blog post, Uquid noted:
Too often, global payments are costly, unreliable, and slow. The underlying systems are fragmented and complex. RippleNet offers the most advanced blockchain technology for global payments — making it easy for financial institutions to reach a trusted, growing network of 300+ providers across 40+ countries and six continents.
Uquid also highlighted the additional benefits of using XRP. For example, the XRP ledger can continuously process 1500 transactions every second. This provides flexibility for any platform to scale further without worrying about the transaction infrastructure. The XRP ledger can also be scaled to achieve the same throughput that payment giant Visa offers.
Speaking about the stability of the XRP ledger, Uquid states: "XRP's seven-year track record of stable technology and governance makes it ready for use by institutions and corporations."

Finding a new connection with St. Francis' magnetic Malbec. I reflect within the day prior's tastes. Impossible for any Human not to relish in ravishing oenological revelations. It's been 14 hours, about, since the last time the dark elixir connected with these ignoble lips. Knotted, dazed, with belated vigor. Still.
In one hour earlier this day. Impatient ink in this pen's shell bubbles, for opportunity. Me, meager passenger. Awed, joyous, wishing I took notes to amply retain a savory yesterday. Anyway, cheers!

Nginx font rules
Some fonts aren't loading from my Linode.
I set up these rules in my nginx configuration:
location ~* .(eot|css|otf|ttf|woff)$ {
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
I keep getting an error stating "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present"
Is there something I should be adding to my configuration to make this work?
2 Replies
I would first check to see if your fonts have default mime types. By default, NGINX has no mime types for fonts. This could be related to the error you received.
To check, navigate to the directory with your configs and locate where the mime types are defined. Typically they are located in the
mime.types file. If haven't already done so, you may need to add these strings below to that file:
application/x-font-ttf ttc ttf;
application/x-font-otf otf;
application/font-woff woff;
application/font-woff2 woff2;
application/vnd.ms-fontobject eot;
If the error you are receiving is related to being blocked by CORS policy, try adding this to your vhost configuration:
location ~* .(eot|otf|ttf|woff|woff2)$ {
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
For more information in reagrds to proper NGINX font configurations, check out these links below:

|By the end of the Civil War, roughly 179,000 black men (10% of the Union Army) served as soldiers in the U.S. Army and another 19,000 served in the Navy. Clearly they had no problem fighting and the Jim Crow laws prevented most from seeing action during ww1 ww2 their inability to fight cost thousands of other soldiers their lives. 2.5 million registered to serve at a time when they did not have to register. During Vietnam , African Americans filled 31% of the ground combat battalions despite being only 12% of the population/a horrible war that the wealthy avoided serving by dodging the draft/ one dodger became president

|In 1944, the 761st Tank Battalion, aka the Black Panthers, was assigned to Patton's Third Army, placed with the 26th Infantry. They were the first African American (USCT - United Stated Colored Troops) tank unit to fight in WWII. Black soldiers were lead by white officers, but black officers were prohibited from leading white troops. In regards to the first African American fighter pilot, check this one out... it's a decent watch/interesting story. https://torrentgalaxy.to/torrent/15249472/Devotion-2022-1080p-BDRIP-x264-AAC-AOC

Lansing United coach, players head to first NPSL combine
Lansing United's general manager and coach Eric Rudland, along with players Brian Cunningham, Tyler Pasher and Cody Archibald, will participate in the first-ever National Premier Soccer League combine that takes place Friday through Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The combine, which will be held at Broward Community College, provides an opportunity for Major League Soccer, the North American Soccer League and USL-Pro clubs to scout NPSL players.
"This is a humbling and exciting opportunity for me," said Rudland, who will coach the Midwest Regional team at the event, in a press release. "I'm looking forward to working with the top players in our region in an effort to help them be identified by pro scouts.
"I hope to put players in spots where they show well and play with confidence."
The NPSL combine will consist of players from four regions, and Rudland has been working with the NPSL's technical committee to form a team of "aspiring professional players" to compete against the other three regions.
Cunningham, Pasher and Archibald not only have familiarity with Rudland, but the three United standouts played vital roles in the team's trek to a NPSL national semifinal finish.
Cunningham, a midfielder/forward who was awarded NPSL Player of the Week honors last year, scored three goals and had three assists for United last season. His play also earned him an invitation to an USL-Pro combine in St. Louis.
Pasher, who is coming off tryouts with Toronto FC (MLS) and the NASL's Minnesota United, was named to the NPSL Supporters' XI team in 2014 — an honor given based on fan voting.
Archibald helped lead Oakland University to a conference title in his senior season and was named to the All-Horizon League second team. He was the only defender to score a goal in the regular season for United.

Who's the hypocrite?
With the release of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' memoir, "My Grandfather's Son," all of the old smears directed against him since his confirmation hearings 16 years ago are once again being trotted out.
That he's "incompetent." That he's "not qualified." That the only reason he was appointed is because he's black. In other words, that he's a product of affirmative action or, more precisely, an "affirmative action hire."
Last week, for instance, liberal Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote: "I believe in affirmative action, but I have to acknowledge there are arguments against it. One of the more cogent is the presence of Justice Clarence Thomas on the U.S. Supreme Court."
Robinson's comment echoes many previous attacks. In 2000, for example, Newsweek columnist Anna Quindlen -- another liberal who has written in support of affirmative action -- declared that Thomas' "judicial resume was mediocre; he was chosen because he was conservative and black, an affirmative action hire by an administration that eschewed affirmative action."
Many liberal Democrats aren't willing to say out loud what Robinson and Quindlen wrote so clearly. After all, they're conditioned to defend racial preferences, which they insist do not promote "incompetent" or "unqualified" people. But that doesn't mean they don't think it. Even The American Prospect magazine, a liberal journal that sees its mission as "beating back the right wing," ran an article two years ago calling Thomas the "most visible affirmative action hire in all the land, a token black nominee whose lack of qualifications was so painfully outed during his confirmation hearings."
How can you support a policy of racial preferences and then attack one of its supposed beneficiaries as undeserving? This, ultimately, is the intrinsic hypocrisy of the Thomas bashers. They allege that he's not competent and that the only reason he became a Supreme Court justice was because he's black. And in so doing, they level the exact same arguments against Thomas that they castigate conservatives for making about affirmative action itself. But let's face facts: A program that gives people with a certain skin color an advantage will invariably reward some who would otherwise not qualify.
This blatant intellectual inconsistency does not stop Thomas' liberal critics from accusing him of hypocrisy -- namely, for being the "most visible affirmative action hire in all the land" while simultaneously standing as its most prominent black opponent. By opposing racial preferences, liberals say, Thomas -- who was accepted into Yale Law School via an affirmative action program -- is denying others the very same benefits he received.
But as Thomas reveals in "My Grandfather's Son," his opposition to racial preferences is based on personal conscience and a genuine concern for its effects on black Americans, not selfish disregard for his racial brethren born out of self-loathing, as affirmative action advocates would have it. He writes that he keeps his Yale diploma tucked away in his basement with a 15-cent cigar sticker affixed to its frame. Why? In a "60 Minutes" interview, Thomas said "that degree meant one thing for whites and another thing for blacks. . . . It was discounted."
This is one of the tragic legacies of racial preferences -- that the achievements of black people in the professional world will always be suspect, and not just to blacks who benefit from such preferences. In the minds even of liberals, blacks will always be thought of as "affirmative action hires" no matter how bright or qualified they are.
It may be difficult for well-intentioned white liberals to understand the personal insecurity that affirmative action causes, and as a white person, I can only take someone like Thomas at his word when he writes about the shame he feels because of racial preferences. But as a gay man, I can certainly empathize, as I imagine I would feel exactly the same way if sexual orientation became a "plus factor" in a law school or employment application process. Factoring in a person's immutable traits demeans them and robs them of their individuality.
Whether or not Thomas is qualified to be a Supreme Court justice, who are affirmative action advocates to smear him as an affirmative action hire? (Can you imagine a left-wing magazine like The American Prospect saying that about a liberal black judge? It would never happen.) But if they honestly believe Thomas is one, then they only have themselves to blame for a rotten system that privileges some people over others because of skin pigmentation.
From the day his Supreme Court nomination was announced by President George H.W. Bush, Thomas' critics have personally and viciously attacked him as if he were an abstraction -- representing everything they hate about minorities (whether women, gays or blacks) who do not subscribe to their liberal nostrums -- and, in so doing, have sucked him of his humanity as an individual. If liberals want to live up to their self-purported principles of equality and free inquiry, they would do well to stop treating Clarence Thomas as the scapegoat for their political agendas and start treating him like a man.

HI! MEET MEGAN AND Dr. ALEX.
Megan (left) is a trained Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and Alex (right) is a functional MD, trained at the University of Chicago. We've been best friends and business partners for the last 5 years.
We work with pre-menopausal women in online group formats to create hormonal healing transformations.
We believe in a multi-faceted approach to feeling your best in the modern world. By living in sync with our natural ebbs and flows, we've both recovered from severe hormonal problems and feels of despair about chronic female issues other practitioners couldn't address.
In addition to this unique approach to our feminine cycles, we strongly believe in functional lab work and the concept that we need to TEST (not GUESS!) to find out what is causing imbalances. We have supplement graveyards, half unread books, and partially finished courses that reflect our previous struggles to heal via the "guessing" approach…and we're never going back!
Now that we've healed, we're free to energetically approach our passion for helping other women recover as well! (And isn't getting to do what you love the whole point of healing in the first place?)
Check out our FREE Cycle Guide for an example of how you can work with your cycle to live a healthier and more energetic life!

Okay. Here we go. You may have noticed that I started a blog with the intention of blogging regularly and shortly into it, I quit, bailed, left it. Over the past year, I've thought about blogging and have even thought through a few blogs, but they would never make it to the computer screen. I would even feel excited about sharing, but then I would begin to analyze what I had to share and it didn't feel good enough or right enough. A friend recently shared something with me that has helped me begin to overcome this "aversion" to blogging. Let me give you a brief summary of her story and share what she realized from it.
My friend made a quick decision, in the moment, while driving, that only by God's grace, did not result in harm to her or others. She knew as soon as she had done it that she shouldn't have made the decision to use her cell phone at that moment, but should have passed it off to someone else in the car. While those around her were quick to forgive and quick to encourage her, she was not so quick to do so for herself. She really struggled with what had happened and the choice she had made. Wrong decisions and choices she had made in the past began to surface again as well as her anguish over those choices. As she talked with her husband about everything that had happened, they began to realize something. They realized that my friend, in her mind, equated perfection with devotion to the Lord. She shared with me the truth that was revealed to her and that has allowed her to begin to heal and let go of the guilt and hurt she's felt over past decisions.
"Perfection does not equal devotion. I am not perfect. I have a sin nature that makes it impossible for me to be perfect. So when I fall short of perfection, it does not mean that I am any less devoted to God. Even when I fail, even when I made a choice not to obey, even when I make mistakes, even when I lose my temper and blow up at my kids . . . I AM a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. It also doesn't mean I love God any less and it certainly doesn't mean He loves me any less!"
As my friend shared this with me, I realized that I desperately needed to hear it! I began to pray and realize my life had become all about trying to measure up. Am I praying enough? Do I pray the right way? Am I being spiritual enough in my parenting? Am I doing my quiet time the right way? Am I doing enough? Am I doing everything right? Am I experiencing EVERYTHING I see other Christians experiencing in their lives JUST like they experience it? And the answer was always no. No, I am not doing any of those things, any part of my life perfectly. I am always failing, always falling short, always messing up. I saw that because I wasn't living my life perfectly as I thought it ought to be, I had just quit. I realized I hadn't written a blog, something I had felt God calling me to do, in over a year because I had been too busy comparing myself and falling short, too busy trying to measure up to perfection and what I saw in other people's lives or blogs instead of just sitting at the feet of Jesus, my Savior, and hearing from Him. I was reminded that it's okay that I am not experiencing exactly what someone else is experiencing because that is their story and this is mine. Just because my story is at a different place than someone else's does not mean that I don't measure up or that I haven't heard from God.
So, here I am again, ready to give this another shot, going back to focusing on the Lord and just sharing what He's doing in my life and what He's been showing me. Thanks for reading and allowing me to share with you my struggle and God's way of bringing truth to me through a friend.
P.S.—My imperfection does not mean that I am any less devoted to the Lord. I am broken and perfection is unattainable, but God doesn't expect me to be perfect. For some of us, this is a daily struggle. We've set such high standards for ourselves that it makes it hard to be okay with our failings. How do I deal with my imperfection? How do I daily accept God's grace and unconditional love that welcomes me back, that wants to set me free? Even as I write this and get ready to post it, I have to stand against that urge to compare it, to analyze it, to worry about what other people will think when they read it or what faults they will find in it.
There are these lies that we have believed: that we have to have it all together, that we have to be perfect, that it's even possible to be perfect. Then we spend so much time being Martha, trying to make everything perfect, trying to figure out how to do everything perfectly instead of just sitting at the feet of Jesus, listening to Him and spending time with Him. Sometimes I don't think we even know we have this standard we've set for ourselves until we talk about it.
Do you identify with any of these things? Does any of it remind you of yourself? If so, I encourage you to find someone you can trust and tell them. Tell them what you struggle with. So often, when we verbalize what we have been struggling with, it begins to lose its power. We begin to see the lies we have believed and often we are able to see just how ridiculous and untrue the lies we have believed are, how they don't line up with God's Word.

I'm always on the look out for a song to play into the night, so tonight I bring you the cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain track, Some Candy Talking, by Chris Whitley. Thinking my upcoming dream-time tonight I remembered Chris's pining cover where his cries of wanting to "go down to the place tonight" reminded me of a thousand wasted and blasted needle dreams that the repentant ex junkie is subjected to upon occasion, Chris "talks to the filth" – cops for my non British-English bilingual conversant readers, he walks through doors, looking for that "candy talking", that "stuff" with a passion usually reserved for romantic liaisons and particularly satisfying cups of tea.
Of course, Chris, like Patti, swore up and down that he never touched anything stronger than hard liquor. It is almost a conspiracy to make it seem like they both could put on that hard won junk-yard crown, and simultaneously never touch the damn stuff. Right. Oh yeah, and Keef only muscled the shit, he was not some durty mainliner. The shame and the guilt help no one, mystifying the shit never stopped some kid from rolling up his sleeve and deciding he, like Lou, wanted to 'nullify his life" in some finger flipped to the rules of what you are meant to do with the precious life yer mama gave ya.
Here he is, Chris Whitley, taking us on a trip with the Jesus and the Mary Chain boys, round ye olde London towne…
Sweet dreams!

US envoy tries to patch up ties with Pakistan
ISLAMABAD – The United States is committed to improving its relationship with Pakistan, despite tensions over the shooting deaths of two Pakistanis by a CIA contractor, the U.S. ambassador told a skeptical audience Monday.
In his first major public speech since the Jan. 27 shootings, Cameron Munter spoke of a "renewal" in Pakistani-U.S. relations and noted America's many humanitarian programs in the country.
Pakistan's cooperation is considered key to stabilizing Afghanistan.
Munter's comments came as Pakistan's spy chief visited the U.S., where he was to meet with the head of the CIA.
"It remains vital to us both to see progress in Pakistan and the region, in the interest of peace, stability and prosperity of Pakistan and its neighbors," Munter said to academics and former diplomats at a think tank in the capital, Islamabad.
He later said he wanted to concentrate on "opportunities in the future, not on problems of the past."
The audience peppered him with questions and comments that revealed a deep suspicion of U.S. motives.
One man requested that Munter tell U.S. officials to stop American missile strikes on militant targets on the Pakistan side of the Afghan border. Some questioned whether the U.S. would ever treat Pakistan on par with its archrival India. Others suggested that the U.S. tries to micromanage Pakistani affairs.
Munter welcomed the criticism, saying he'd rather Pakistanis be blunt and honest than stay silent.
On Monday a Pakistani intelligence official confirmed that ISI chief Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha had arrived in the U.S. for talks with American officials. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Before looking in detail at what the Java Deflater actually does, let's jump straight
in and see how to use it. In practice, compression with Deflater works as follows:
Once we've constructed our DeflaterOutputStream, we can write our uncompressed
data to it just as we would to any old output stream.
Here is what things look like in Java code:
public void compressData(byte[] data, OutputStream out)
throws IOException {
Deflater d = new Deflater();
DeflaterOuptutStream dout = new DeflaterOutputStream(out, d);
We don't actually have to explicitly pass in a Deflater to the constructor
of DeflaterOutputStream: if we just pass in the stream, then a default
deflater will be constructed for us. However, we'll see in a moment that we may wish
to pass certain parameters to the Deflater when constructing it.
Decompressing the data "on the other end" uses the Inflater class, usually
inside an InflaterInputStream:
public byte[] decompressData(InputStream in)
throws IOException {
InflaterInputStream in = new InflaterInputStream(in);
ByteArrayOutputStream bout =
new ByteArrayOutputStream(512);
int b;
while ((b = in.read()) != -1) {
return bout.toByteArray();
If you don't have much time to spare and your data is fairly typical, then
this is about all you need to know to get started with data compression in Java.
However, if you have development time available, you may find some
benefit in (a) understanding how deflate works
and (b) configuring the Deflater
and transforming your data to take
best advantage of it.

Is the new flagship.
The Bentley Mulsanne Speed was unveiled at the VW Group Night in Paris on the eve of its public launch at the Paris Motor Show.
Holding the promise to deliver "the fastest ultra-luxury driving experience in the world", the new Mulsanne variant comes in four new exterior colors - Candy Red, Spectre, Camel and Marlin. The car features a dark tint finish on the radiator grille, lower bumper grilles and wing vents. Also on the menu are a set of new 21-inch wheels, that come in painted, polished and dark tint with machined accent finishes.
The colours, veneers and trims are revisited with the door panels and seats receiving diamond quilting, a new headliner and drilled pedals wrapping up the interior changes.
Under the bonnet is an upgraded 6.75-liter V8 engine, generating 537 PS and 1,100 Nm. The revised engine catapults the Mulsanne Speed from 0-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds with a top speed rated at 305 km/h.
The engine is equipped with cylinder deactivation technology that can run it as a V4, reducing CO2 emissions from 393 g/km to 342 g/km. The engine is mated to a revised 8-speed automatic transmission with a 'Sport' mode for faster response. In this mode, the suspension is stiffened for better body control and the steering dynamics are adjusted for more accuracy and feedback.
The Mulsanne Speed will be available for customer delivery this winter. Prices start at around 315,000 Euros (INR 2.44 crores).
