In the footsteps of Aalto
"Säynätsalo – The Tahiti of Lake Päijänne", Alvar Aalto
Säynätsalo and Alvar Aalto
Long before the planning of the Säynätsalo Town Hall, this island region was very familiar to Alvar Aalto. Having spent his childhood and youth in Jyväskylä, Säynätsalo was etched in his mind as a dear childhood landscape. Back then Säynätsalo was a young settlement where mainly factory workers lived. The Parviainen sawmill had been established on the island in 1897. Later it expanded into a plywood factory and the ownership was transferred to the Enso-Gutzeit company. The factory in many ways dominated the island's public life.
Alvar Aalto founded his first architecture office in Jyväskylä in 1923. During the 1920s he designed a plan for a retirement home in Säynätsalo. In the end, however, the retirement home was built according to Wivi Lönn's drawings and was named the Walter Parviainen retirement home. Soon after Aalto's family had to move to Turku for work, and after Paimio Sanatorium was completed, the Aaltos moved to Helsinki.
Alvar Aalto did not participate in the design of Säynätsalo again before the early 1940s, this time designing the site plan at the request of the factory management. Aalto's schemes included a causeway to the mainland. Upon its completion, it was the first road connecting Säynätsalo to the mainland. Among the unrealised plans was, for example, a large triangular courtyard in the center of Säynätsalo, Piazza Triangolare, which would have reached from the site of the current Town Hall all the way to the factory.
Planning of the Town Hall
In 1949 Alvar Aalto got the opportunity to return to Säynätsalo once more when Hilmer Brommels, the director of the factory, invited him to participate in an architectural competition regarding the construction of the future Town Hall. Aino Aalto's death in the January of that year was a big blow to Alvar, but despite his grief, he took on the challenge. Two other Finnish architects participated in the competition, Veikko Raitinen and Seppo Hytönen, but Aalto's proposal won the competition. Aalto named his proposal "Curia" - the name refers to the meeting place of the ancient Roman senators, where decisions were made about the common issues of the republic.
As a whole, the Town Hall resembles a castle-like building, which is built as if on the slopes of a hill. The building encloses a peaceful central courtyard, which Aalto called the piazza, the center of the city. The elevated piazza was created by pouring in the leftover soil from the excavations of the foundations. Therefore, there are no structures under the piazza. Although the Town Hall appears large when seen from far away, the scale of the building suddenly changes when entering the courtyard. Viewed from the elevated piazza the building surprisingly looks only one floor high and close to the humane scale, and the business premises on the ground floor disappear from view. The idea was to create a central square built on a humane scale where a peaceful, monastic environment could be created. Aalto himself stated about the enclosed courtyard: "...in some mysterious way it emphasizes the social instinct. In government buildings and town halls, the courtyard has preserved its primal significance from the days of ancient Crete, Greece, and Rome through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance."
The primary material in the building is red brick, which is a dominating feature both inside and outside. Aalto had already tried out the possibilities of red brick in the Baker House, one of the student dormitories at Boston’s MIT University, which he had designed a couple of years earlier. The design of the Town Hall initiated the red brick era of Aalto’s work; for the next decade, he designed a whole series of red brick buildings, such as the National Pensions Institute, Muuratsalo Experimental House, the House of Culture in Helsinki and both the Otaniemi and Seminaarinmäki campuses. In the Säynätsalo Town Hall, as in other buildings later, an effort was made to create a handcrafted and lively surface from the brick by using all of the burnt and damaged material and laying the bricks unevenly on the wall. It is even said that some of the brick loads were dumped directly onto the ground from the truck to break up the surface of the brick and achieve the desired rough appearance. The bricks were obtained from the Lappila brick factory, and Aalto himself influenced the choice of the factory.
Around the piazza, Aalto designed a bright corridor with large windows, which let in a lot of natural light and open up a view of the green courtyard. Abundant sunshine and large windows emphasise the public nature of the building. Openness and clarity are also essential features of Nordic democracy, therefore these features were highlighted in the Town Hall which was a building primarily for democratic decision-making. Aalto himself thought: "...dark corridors in an administration building [in its main parts] cannot and must not be used." Offices and meeting rooms were planned for the corridor. The municipal executive board met in the room designed for them in the northern corner of the Town Hall. Aalto wanted large windows also in the meeting room to have a view into nature and fill the room with natural light.
As a counterpoint to the brightness of the lower floors, Aalto designed a high and dark temple-like council hall at the highest point of the building for the municipal council meetings. In a way, the council’s meeting room is the heart of the whole building, the core of democracy, where decision-making occurs. Most of the municipal council meetings were public events for everyone to join, so the route was designed to be clear for the people of the community to easily find their way into the important area - the red brick material on the floor leads the public to walk up the stairs. The movement of the light was carefully considered in the council chamber. The natural light coming from the windows is filtered and directed through the slats to different parts of the room, and the lamps in the hall also project light into every corner through the opening behind the lamp. Thus, the light across the room is even, and the corners are not too dark. The bright sunlight from the south stays in the corridors and does not enter the council chamber, as the sliding door is closed during the meetings. On sunny days, beams of light are formed in the corridors, which move around according to the time of day. The pine wood structures of the council hall's ceiling are also remarkable. The structures got the name "butterflies" because of their wing-like shapes.
In Säynätsalo Town Hall, as in most other Aalto buildings, the interior solutions and unique furniture was also designed for the building by Aalto and his workers together. Alvar Aalto himself designed almost all the lamps. In addition to him, the most important interior designer was Maija Heikinheimo, whose design work includes, for example, the seats of the meeting room downstairs and the interior of the council hall. Later, Heikinheimo worked as CEO and artistic director of Artek.
Outside in the piazza, next to the fountain, there is a bronze statue called The Dancer. Wäinö Aaltonen created a plaster version of the statue in 1928, and a larger bronze statue was cast in 1950. This cubist work was donated to the Town Hall by the Enso-Gutzeit factory. The original plaster sculpture is known as Salome. Over the years the local people themselves gave the statue the name The Suffering Taxpayer.
The meeting room of the municipal executive board was originally not supposed to have paintings, but in 1952 the municipality of Säynätsalo received a painting called Peace. The work's arrival in Säynätsalo has to do with collecting signatures for the Stockholm appeal. In 1950, during the early years of the Cold War, the World Peace Council issued an international appeal for the global prohibition of nuclear weapons. This petition also circulated in Finland, and Suomen Rauhanpuolustajat ry awarded the Peace painting to the most active municipality partaking in the spreading of the petition. Säynätsalo received the painting, as 89% of the locals signed the petition. For the first decades, the painting was located in Lehtisaari school until it was moved to the meeting room in the 1970s.
Decorating the council hall upstairs with art was an essential goal for Alvar Aalto. A window was planned in the right corner of the room, which was covered with wooden slats so that the natural light is directed to illuminate the adjacent artwork. Thus, a frame was created which gives constant light to the painting. Fernand Léger, a well-known French painter and Alvar Aalto’s personal friend, was excited to create something for an Aalto building and painted the artwork in the council hall next to the window. However, when the town councillors saw Léger's abstract work, the reception was mixed, and not everyone liked the painting. The original painting was allowed to remain there as it was mistakenly believed to have been received as a gift from Léger. However, after Léger’s death the council received a letter from France inquiring about a payment for the painting. The price was 200 000 Finnish Marks, and the council was not interested in paying this amount. In the end, Alvar Aalto claimed the painting for himself and took it into Tiilimäki to his studio. Today, a photocopy of Léger's work adorns the window seat of the council chamber, as the original one never returned to Säynätsalo. The current owner of the original oil painting is unknown, but it is estimated to be worth around five million euros.
Aalto also designed a place for a Picasso sculpture in the council hall. The project was cancelled early, but the niche designed for the small sculpture can still be found in the council chamber on the wall next to the sliding door.
The timeline of the municipal hall
The opening ceremony of the newly built Town Hall was held on August 24, 1952, after which the Town Hall was in active use. At that time, the ground floor was full of business premises: for example, a flower shop, a barber shop, a sports equipment store and a pharmacy. Later, a municipal doctor and a dentist also worked in the building. Initially, a bank was located on the site of the current café. Some of the Town Hall employees got their own apartments in the housing part located in the west wing of the building.
Over the years, all kinds of changes took place inside the building. The building served as a town hall until 1993, and during the approximately forty years of use, the municipal residents used and changed the building according to their needs. In the 1970s, stairs were added to the east wing of the building, which connected the upper office floor to the lower business space. Initially, the library was only located on the upper floor of the current library building. In the early 1980s the library was expanded as the shops on the ground floor moved away. The Town Hall was no longer used after the 1990s, and the building was protected alongside the forests around it. Despite some of the changes that had been made to the Town Hall over the years, the building was in mostly perfect original state at that time, both in terms of its exterior and its interior.
Repairs were made to the building in 1994-98. The repairs were mostly focused on renovating the leaking roof, which had already leaked in the previous decades. HVAC solutions were also renewed, and the previously added office staircase was removed. During the repairs the focus was on the original use of the building and the solutions were made following the original style.
After the 1990s, the building slowly began to lose its original purpose. The municipality of Säynätsalo was merged with the city Jyväskylä in 1993, and the Town Hall was no longer used in the same way as before. The offices and business premises were gradually moved elsewhere, and the council hall and the executive board meeting room were no longer used much. Although there was no longer a municipal council, a district council still assembled at the Town Hall (from 2001 onwards, a district board), but that too ceased to exist in 2008.
Tavolo Bianco moved to the Town Hall in 2016, and the building has gained new life since then. Today, the Town Hall hosts guided tours, accommodates guests, rents meeting rooms, and maintains art galleries and other activities. Säynätsalo Town Hall Café & Bakery operates on the site of the former bank on the ground floor of the Town Hall, and the antiquarian bookseller Scriptorium is located next to the café. The library is still Säynätsalo's local library, open every weekday, and often visited by Aalto tourists either before or after seeing the Town Hall itself.

Santa Rosalia by sunset
Sunset my ass!! We use an average boat speed of 6kts when we figure an arrival time which puts us arriving 6:30ish for the 76NM passage. We cross into Baja Sur just before Santa Rosalia putting us on mountain time making it 7:30 basically a sunset arrival. Chris and I are up heading south at 5:30 to make sunset. Notice a pattern here. We’re near a new moon creating currents near maximum that can help or slow progress and the early departure puts us on the favorable current side for a few hours. No sails and motors 3/4 throttle we’re pushing 7.5 kts. 10 AM we see white caps at a distance to the west. Time to raise sails readying for a ride. Soon we’re pushing 9kts and winds are gusting in the high 20s. Damit we should have reefed as we set sails. With a little struggle, we’ve put the 1st reef on the main and the jib partially furled and now riding comfortably in the 8kt range. Santa Rosalia here we come. The last 3 hours we’re back motor sailing but the earlier push puts us in at 5:30 well before sunset.
Arriving, we hit the fuel dock, settled into a slip and headed to Tanka’s Grill for dinner. We have a long standing friendship with the owners Arturo and Edwardo and always have a great meal and hospitality. Tonight’s no different.
Arturo and Edwardo aren’t here tonight when we arrive but the bartender Daniel makes a call and they soon show up. They’re very busy and have run out of ribs the boys want but there’s lots of other choices.
I’ll let the pictures speak to how the evening went.
Friday morning is a slow start. We checked in with the marina did some provisioning and had breakfast before departing to Bahia Conception. All slow but good on Gato Loco.
Until the next update

Fleetwood crashed out of the Youth Alliance cup in a devastating defeat to Carlisle United
Fleetwood crashed out of the Youth Alliance cup in a devastating defeat to Carlisle United.
The young Cod Army fought back from behind three times throughout the contest, but could not find a final fifth goal to take the game to penalties.
Carlisle striker Craig Salmon found the net four times for the Cumbrian outfit, including the match winner with five minutes to go.
Salmon forced a fantastic save from Cod goalkeeper Oliver Martin early on, with a long range strike which he saw tipped around the post.
But from the resulting corner, Dillon Morse headed the home side in front at the second attempt, after Lanre Olapade had cleared one off the line in the 13th minute.
In double that time, Fleetwood responded with a well-taken equaliser on 26 minutes. Jake Parker linked up with Olapade on the Town right, before crossing for the high-rising Tom Peterson to head level.
Peterson should have scored a second less than a minute later, but volleyed wide from the knockdown by Michael Smith.
Kyle Dempsey almost sent Carlisle in ahead at half-time with a low drive past the left post, before the second-half began with a bang.
Cod captain Richard Wright fired the visitors in front two minutes after the break, when the ball fell kindly for him after a forceful run by England schoolboy’s youngster Smith.
But Carlisle hit back less than six minutes later, when Salmon’s left-foot strike squirmed under Town’s goalkeeper at his near post.
And Fleetwood went on to concede another soft goal only two minutes after, when a lack of communication between defender and goalkeeper allowed Salmon to easily head home.
The young Cod Army took barely a minute to rectify the error, when Carlisle goalkeeper Jordan Parker handled the ball outside his penalty area, before Max Cartwright scrambled home the resulting free kick by Parker.
But the pendulum swung in favour of the home side yet again in the 58th minute, when Salmon’s right-foot effort beat Martin at his near post.
Town midfielder Parker then made his third assist of the afternoon with 20 minutes to go, by putting the ball on a plate for (Max) Cartwright, who beat the keeper at his left-hand post to draw level once again.
Both teams created great opportunities to win the game in 90 minutes, but it was the Cumbrian side who stole the victory, as Salmon found himself unmarked at the far post in the 86th minute, and struck past Martin after being teed up by Dempsey.
The result sends Carlisle through to the Northern Section final, and spells the end of an impressive cup run by the Cod Army, who beat York, Preston and Wrexham on their way to the semi-finals.

Top 10 Factors Affecting Commercial Auto Insurance Rates in Gainesville, Georgia
Type of Business: The nature of your business and the associated risks play a significant role in determining your commercial auto insurance rates. High-risk industries, such as construction or hazardous material transportation, can expect higher premiums.
Vehicle Type: The make, model, and age of your business vehicles can impact your insurance rates. Larger, heavier vehicles or those with a high theft rate may result in higher premiums.
Vehicle Usage: The frequency and purpose of vehicle usage can affect your insurance rates. Vehicles used for long-distance deliveries or transporting heavy equipment may have higher premiums than those used for local errands or office commuting.
Driving Records: The driving records of your employees can significantly impact your commercial auto insurance rates. A history of accidents, violations, or DUIs can lead to higher premiums.
Location: The location of your business can influence your commercial auto insurance rates. Areas with high traffic congestion, crime rates, or a history of severe weather events may result in higher premiums.
Coverage Limits: The amount of coverage you choose for your commercial auto insurance policy will directly impact your premiums. Higher coverage limits provide greater protection but come at a higher cost.
Deductibles: The deductible is the amount you agree to pay out-of-pocket before your insurance kicks in. Choosing a higher deductible can lower your premium, but it also means you'll pay more in case of a claim.
Safety and Security Features: Vehicles equipped with safety features, such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, or GPS tracking devices, may qualify for discounts on commercial auto insurance rates.
Claims History: Your business's claims history can impact your insurance rates. A history of frequent or high-cost claims can result in higher premiums.
Insurance Provider: Different insurance providers may offer varying rates for commercial auto insurance. It's essential to shop around and compare quotes from multiple providers to ensure you're getting the best value for your coverage.
Understanding the factors that affect commercial auto insurance rates in Gainesville, GA, can help you make informed decisions about your coverage and potentially save on your premiums.

I've got the ARMS Aimpoint QD mount and riser.
I used the loc-tite that came with the mount and loc-tited the riser to the mount.
What do I do to take it off?
I'm mounting it onto a BB gun and I want to know if it's worth paying $50 for some "knock-off" mount or, simply taking the riser off.
Can it be heated with a lighter without harming the finish?
Was it blue loc-tite?
Blue loc-tite on threads, use the right sized tool with a good handle and give it a hard twist.
Blue loc-tite holding the surfaces together, use a vice and brass hammer. A good strike in the sheer direction, and it should come off.
Red loc-tite, maybe a thermo-nuclear blast.
heat to 325 degrees.
I know that isn't true.
I've removed a paint-ball feed neck with red loc-tite on it.
It just took a lighter, heated it up - and screwed it right out...
Can that be done with a common cigarette lighter? *No, I don't smoke*
Will it harm the finish if it is heated to that temperature?

Midnight Memories, the new album from One Direction is a record which documents just how far they ve come in the music industry. It's an album which, the boys themselves confess, has opened up a bigger creative role for them individually allowing them all to co-write most of the 14 tracks (18 on the deluxe edition), and once again work with some well-respected songwriters. Joining them on this record are Julian Bunetta (Olly Murs, Leona Lewis, JLS), Jamie Scott (Enrique Iglesias, JLS, Little Mix) and Jacknife Lee (Blur, Robbie Williams, Biffy Clyro) as well as international artists with song-writing credits of their own such as Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter from McFly, One Republic's Ryan Tedder and Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody. An impressive line-up.
In just one listen, it's clear the new tracks are more mature, more honest and more indicative of the boys' lives. They tell the story of their journeys across the world, of being away from home, falling in love and the opportunity they ve been given.

The Rangers have announced that Henrik Lundqvist’s #30 will be retired on January 28th when the Rangers host the Minnesota Wild.
James Dolan said in a statement, “Over the franchise’s history, only 11 Rangers players have earned the honor of having their numbers raised to the Garden rafters, where they forever serve as inspiration for others to follow. For 15 seasons, Henrik Lundqvist embodied everything the Rangers organization stands for – excellence, commitment, pride, and leadership. It is only fitting that his No. 30 will now join the legends who have come before him.”
Chris Drury said in a statement, “It was an honor to play with Henrik for four seasons and watch his career evolve as I’ve moved through the organization. Having his No. 30 etched in history forever is so well-deserved for a man who has done so much for the city of New York, on and off the ice. It will be a special moment for the entire organization.”

Bipolar Ionization and Germs
Study shows that viruses may be killed with bipolar ionization. The ionizer gets rid of viruses from the environment to prevent the spread of pathogens and lower subsequent outbreaks. When individuals cough or perhaps sneeze, they deliver viral droplets through the atmosphere. Moreover, when an infected individual contacts a surface the area becomes contaminated thus allowing viruses to spread. An ionizer targets air-borne viruses and the droplets. Research suggests that ionizing air helps to prevent the transmission of a virus.
Throughout the procedure of bipolar ionization, ions are attracted to pathogens like viruses. Typical examples of pathogens include Legionella, and Norovirus and versions of the flu. More to the point, a virus can’t endure without having a hydrogen bond. Bipolar ionization negates the pathogen and also puts it out of commission for good. Essentially, adhering to the final stage in the process, a disease can not exist and is thus non livable. O2Prime technology delivers favorable management of viruses as suggested by third party researchers.
Bipolar ionization and airborne viruses
In substantial cases, air-borne viruses are killed at a rate of more than 99% with bipolar ionization by using O2Prime. The technology is not merely effective at inactivating viruses, but it can also stop a virus from triggering an illness in case an exposure does happen.
Bipolar Ionization plus Air Quality
Heating and cooling systems are crucial in not merely managing temperature but likewise producing air that is clean for breathing. Air that is clean typically begins with ventilation systems.
As a practical option for commercial buildings, we are able to eliminate organisms living HVAC equipment. Beyond viruses and bacteria, mold, and mildew quantities may be influenced by climate management systems. Bipolar ionization permits HVAC units to control viruses. Ultimately, air systems are able to bring about air that is clean while simultaneously making the most effective utilization of power.
Nowadays, many people are hypersensitive to allergens. More to the point, continued contact with pollutants and allergens might result in long term health problems. O2Prime targets both pollutants and allergens not just at the surface level however in the environment also. Substances which which are difficult to control such as VOCs may now be eliminated before they result in unintended consequences.
One of the more recent scenarios which have brought the benefits of quality of the air on the cutting edge may be the prevalent transmission of coronavirus. As businesses have shuttered to safeguard workers, individuals rushed to procure cleaning items from store shelves. Though the majority of companies incorporate cleaning standards, they’re usually insufficient thus resulting in the spread of illness.
Companies however, can take proactive measures to reduce illness in corporate facilities by implementing technology into existing HVAC models. Learn more about our advanced capabilities in ventilation and air systems.

I recently was diagnosed with NLD, and 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Auditory Processing problems. I am just wondering how other people on this forum deal with the their social life. I just the post from the guy who feels that women have a conspiracy going to make guys feel bad. I find when I am out and about, I really have to work at remaining positive and catching the social cues.
Its not a conspiracy... To make guys feel bad. If men want to feel like women want them they need to earn our adoration. If they sit there babbling about conspiracies and lunacy we are more apt to think they need to be locked up than dated. And umm not all of us are in on this bogus conspiracy either. However, i will say a conspiracy of women to make men miserable sounds like a wonderful idea. hehehe only teasing.

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., returned to his Virginia roots Wednesday in vice presidential candidate mode – flanked by Secret Service, trailed by national press and ready to attack Donald Trump.
Kaine entered a ballroom to a rousing welcome from the Virginia delegation at its breakfast. After spinning some political anecdotes, he quickly pivoted to the election, praising Hillary Clinton and delivering his most forceful rhetoric to date on the Republican presidential nominee's fitness for office.
“What an opportunity to make history,” he told the enthusiastic crowd, who unlike previous mornings in Philadelphia, seemed more riveted to the speaker than to than to their bacon and eggs.
Kaine thanked Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who advocated strongly for his selection in conversations with Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton.
“I wouldn’t be the nominee if it weren’t for him,” he said of McAuliffe.
Kaine praised Hillary Clinton’s qualifications as a candidate, and her historic role as potentially the first woman president. He said she would “open up who we are as a nation,” grow the economy and that she has the “right ideas about how to be strong in the world.”
Then it was on to Trump.
“The most foolish thing you can do is to shed the alliances we have in the world…and Donald Trump is a one-man wrecking crew when it comes to the alliances,” said Kaine, referring to Trump’s stand on NATO and posture toward Russia and Vladimir Putin, whom Kaine called a “Big Bad Wolf.”
Kaine, a former civil rights attorney, said the most important thing to him about the election is that it’s “a civil rights election.”
He talked about Trump “making fun of people with disabilities…using demeaning and offensive language when he talks about women,” saying Trump “offends women every time he opens his mouth.”
He said Trump “trash talks new Americans, trash talks Mexicans…he talks about anybody of a Latino background as if they’re a second-class citizen. Hey, we don’t have any second-class citizens in this country. We’re all first-class citizens.”
Pivoting to the military, he referenced Trump’s characterization of the American military as a “disaster,” questioning how someone who thinks that could be commander in chief.
He said Trump has used “every trick and dodge he can to avoid paying taxes, and that’s why he’s not giving up his tax returns,” noting that tax dollars fund programs that support veterans.
"Tim Kaine can attack all he wants, but he can’t distract Virginians from the fact that he’s a political chameleon," said Garren Shipley, Virginia communications director for the Republican National Committee. "He’s gone from being pro life to pro choice, from supporting TPP to opposing TPP, and from claiming to be a conservative to claiming to be a progressive. Just like Hillary Clinton, he’s willing to say anything to be elected."
Kaine said the election is about whether to build “a community of respect, or whether we decide that a politics of division, that sadly, we know held Virginia back, and our nation back for a very long time, is back in vogue and we start doing it again.”
“We say we’re a commonwealth,” Kaine continued. “We’ve got to live like a commonwealth.”
Perhaps the most emotional moment of Kaine's time with the delegation came at the end of his remarks. Kaine turned quiet and spoke about Joe Montano, 47, a Senate staffer from Manassas who died suddenly late last week after accompanying Kaine on events in Northern Virginia.

Running a hospital based group as “service” for the hospital, functioning as a sort of clearinghouse for income and expenses, severely limits your group’s future.
It limits the willingness, and the ability, of your group to pursue outside opportunities. That’s chiefly because there is tremendous pressure to pass through to the owner, and often to the non-owner, physicians all available income, instead of immediately investing in, or creating the capital reserves necessary to pursue, other opportunities.
Additionally, “service” groups often suffer from the mindset that the group was formed to provide services at only that hospital, thus taking off the table completely the consideration of other opportunities, even if the group were able to deal with the notion of holding back what would otherwise be income available for distribution.
Of course, “service status” results in a severely weakened position vis-a-vis the hospital, which knows that your group’s very existence depends on renewal of its exclusive contract. That is a horrible position for your group to be in, both in terms of the concessions that the hospital may demand, and that your group may be forced to give – not to advance its position in some other respect, but merely to save its own life.
You spend your professional life saving others, literally. Why not save your own at the same time?

By Joseph Ax NEW YORK (Reuters) - A group of hackers linked to Islamic State has posted online a list of thousands of New York residents and urged followers of the militant group to target them, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. Federal agents and New York City police officers have been contacting the individuals on the list to inform them of the posting, but the source said law enforcement does not believe there is any credible threat. In a statement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said, "While our standard practice is to decline comment on specific operational and investigative matters, the FBI routinely notifies individuals and organizations of information collected during the course of an investigation that may be perceived as potentially threatening in nature." The list includes names, home addresses and email addresses.

The university’s Hyperloop team – also known as ‘HypED’ – is building a prototype pod for the SpaceX Pod Competition, which is being organised by leading aerospace manufacturer SpaceX and will take place at the company’s headquarters in California in late August.
HypED is one of 24 technical teams worldwide, and one of only four from Europe, that has been selected to compete as a finalist in the competition. RS is supporting HypED in the building of the prototype pod with the supply of key components including semiconductors, batteries, cabling and connectors, switches, heatsinks and a range of mechanical parts. In addition to RS, HypED is also being supported and financed by Cirrus Logic and the University of Edinburgh Innovative Initiative Grant.
Hyperloop is a radical new concept for the future of mass transport, created and popularised in 2013 by Elon Musk, the world-renowned inventor, engineer and entrepreneur. Using electric propulsion to accelerate a pod or capsule through a low-pressure tube, Hyperloop offers the possibility to transport people and goods quickly and safely across distances of up to 900 miles and at speeds faster than a commercial airliner. Offering advantages such as being failsafe, environmentally friendly and very quiet, the Hyperloop concept has the potential to revolutionise transportation, potentially displacing high-speed rail and short-haul flights.
SpaceX is also a licenser of Hyperloop technology to innovators and universities, and the company has built a prototype subscale tube at its headquarters in Hawthorne, California. The SpaceX competition will focus on the building of functional half-scale Hyperloop pods that are designed to race down the SpaceX low-pressure tube, which is approximately one mile in length and has a six-foot outer diameter.

Frier named to 4-H Hall of Fame
Jim Frier of Washington is the 2013 Washington County 4-H Hall of Fame inductee. Frier served for many years as the Washington County Extension director.
Nancy Adrian, Washington County Extension administrative assistant, introduced Frier. She told the crowd gathered at the Washington County Fair Thursday that Washington County has the third highest membership numbers in the state of Iowa. She said that Frier played a vital role in the success of 4-H in Washington County.
Adrian said that she interviewed Frier before the announcement. He told her that he told his children to find a job they love doing and it won't feel like work. She also said that among Frier's accomplishments are the bucket-bottle calf project, Master Gardeners program, and a horse trail ride event at the fair.
As the director, Frier said that he always asked what could be added to the county fair and what could be improved when the annual fair evaluation meeting was held. That's where many of the new events were launched.

A privileged few have finally had their chance to see Luke Skywalker speak on screen – for the first time since 1983.
Disney shareholders and members of the US press were treated to a short teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, and as for what he says, it’s apparently three simple words: “Who are you?”
Good question. After all, for the past few decades Luke has supposedly been the sole inhabitant of the rocky island Rey tracked him to at the end of The Force Awakens, and now a strange woman turns up offering him a lightsabre.
As we are sadly not all Disney shareholders it may be a while before we get to see the footage. But, luckily, an LA Times reporter was on the scene, and tells us…
We just saw more "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" footage. In it, Luke asks Rey, "Who are you?" Then we see her deftly handle a lightsaber.— Daniel Miller (@DanielNMiller) March 8, 2017
Epic and exotic? Bring on the first official trailer…
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi will be released on 15th December 2017


House Republicans’ majority will be smaller than expected, but they’re eager to use their new oversight powers and pass a spate of bills to draw contrasts with Democrats and give the Biden administration heartburn.
Republican Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan alleged at a press conference Thursday that President Biden was actively involved in overseas business dealings involving his son Hunter.
Comer, citing whistleblowers, asserted that the Biden family “flourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to the family.”
The representatives alleged that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden participated in “waste, fraud, and abuse” in international business dealings. The Republicans are releasing a report Thursday outlining their findings.
“This is an investigation of Joe Biden,” Comer said.
Crimes that Joe Biden is alleged to have committed include conspiracy or defrauding the United States, wire fraud, violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, money laundering, tax evasion, and other crimes.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

DFA-G: A Unified Programming Model for Vertex-centric Parallel Graph Processing
Many systems have been built for vertex-centric parallel graph processing. Based on the Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model, they execute user-defined operations at vertices iteratively and exchange information between vertices by messages. Even though the native BSP systems (e.g. Pregel and Giraph) execute the operations on vertices synchronously within an iteration, many other platforms (e.g. Grace, Blogel and GraphHP) have proposed asynchronous execution for improved efficiency. However, they also bring about an undesirable side effect: a program designed for synchronous platforms may not run properly on asynchronous platforms. DFA-G (Deterministic Finite Automaton for Graph processing) is a unified programming model for vertex-centric parallel graph processing. Built on DFA, DFA-G expresses the computation at a vertex as a process of message-driven state transition. A program modeled after DFA-G can run properly on both synchronous and asynchronous platforms. DFA-G models can be built on a graphical user interface then translated into BSP programs.

2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class – BESTTECHCARS.COM – The 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is an all new Mercedes-Benz E400 powered by twin-turbo V6 replacing its successor the V8-powered E-Class. For the 2015, E-Class will be an all-new model. It offers powerful, sophisticated V6 engine, delicate new style and remarkable interior workmanship and arrangements. Unfortunately, there will be no more V8 E-Class version. The V8-powered E550 from the lineup will likely be dropped in 2015 and you won’t get the AMG name for the E-Class.
See More Photos:
Although the E400 Hybrid model has been released by Mercedes, the new 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class won’t use the hybrid’s V6 or any electrical engine. There will be a 3.0-liter V6 with twin-turbocharger under the hood. It is good for 329 hp and 354 lb. ft. of torque paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The twin turbo gives the new E400 with enough power to boost subtly and the V6 can lift to the maximum RPM with fervor. The V6 offer milder manners, softer noise and small movement are easily noticed if you’ve been familiar to the E550 that offer lots of torque.
The update of 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class includes revised headlights above the larger air intakes, a more carved hood and more simplified, straighter rear wings. There are two grille shapes for its two trim models. the Sport models will come with the larger license plate-sized insignia set in the mid of a more forceful two-bar grille while the Luxury models come with more old-fashioned three-bar louver grille with star hood embellishment.
In the cabin of 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E400, the electrically assisted steering feels heavy, slow and boasts, less engaging and off-putting. It feels to have the most rigid body shells in the class. There is a few minor layout tweaks to upscale appearance, but heavier on the technology improvements. Shoppers will find about 24 cameras and sensors and ultrasonic scanners around the car to monitor cross traffic, pedestrians, possible sideswiping and forthcoming rear-enders. They will help to control all brake, throttle, steering and park including a bird’s-eye view.
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E400 is expected to come with all-wheel drive, and Mercedes’ better safety technologies such as impact vindication pre-braking, adaptive cruise control, lane monitoring support, occupant safety in rear-end impacts plus braking the car while inactive to prevent more impacts and lethargic driver attentive. Mercedes’ adaptive cruise control will automatically deactivate if it senses driver’s hands are not on the wheel. It works by monitoring steering inputs by assuming your hands are busy texting with your cell phone. The E-class is known to preview several of the features of the forthcoming S-class and also post viewing some features from cheaper cars like the Ford Focus’s feature that offer self-parking. Another example is VW Passat’s sensor under the bumper that senses your waving foot to open the trunk.
The price of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E400 is expected out below the E550 and follows the same design hints as the existing restored model. It will likely arrive on showroom next spring.

– Wolfgang Halbig: 11,000 page Sandy Hook “script”/ CT State Police gave false affidavits (Veterans Today, July 16, 2014):
BREAKING NEWS! Two Connecticut State Troopers have now confirmed to Wolfgang Halbig that an 11,000 page document in his possession was “the script” for the Sandy Hook fake shooting.
The document details virtually every aspect of the staged event that would be presented to the public as though it had been a real shooting where 20 children died. This is “smoking gun” evidence.
The script even includes sworn statements from 16 Connecticut state troopers, including that they had entered the building through the shattered window at the school’s entrance. Those statements appear to be blatantly false.
No one who has seen photos of that window could possibly believe that such a large number could possibly have made an entry through that opening without risking harm to themselves or cutting their clothing. This is not something that trained Connecticut law enforcement officers would have done.

21 Mar Local NHS Chief Executive Named Number One In The UK
The chief executive for local NHS organisations Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) and Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) has been named as the number one NHS chief executive in the country.
Angela Hillery, who has led NHFT since 2013 and LPT since 2019, was named top NHS chief executive in the annual rankings collated by the Health Service Journal (HSJ). Angela has placed in the top 50 every year since 2018, and has moved up to top spot for the first time this year.
The HSJ recognised Angela as a ‘pioneer’ for her work leading two Trusts since 2019, a trend which is being replicated in other parts of the country. Closer collaboration and partnership working was a key reason for the move up the ranking. During 2022, working with NHS Trusts across the East Midlands region, Angela led NHS support for independent mental healthcare provider St Andrew’s, helping them on their quality improvement journey. NHFT and LPT are lead providers for regional CAMHS and adult eating disorder collaboratives, and a key part of the East Midlands Alliance for mental health and learning disabilities.
Angela also sits on the Midlands Strategic Transformation Recovery Board; part of the National Mental Health Restoration and Recovery Group; and is a member of the Department of Health and Social Care’s Psycho-social Group.
On receiving the news, Angela, said: “This is a great honour for both myself and the Trusts I am proud to lead. The recognition we have received through this ranking is testament to the brilliant teams at LPT and NHFT, who step up and make a positive difference every day.
“I truly believe as an NHS we need to continue to work in ever closer partnerships as we look to address the real challenges we have in the health system. I’m proud to continue to lead these organisations and to see the commitment our people have to collaborative working and continuous improvement.”
Angela has worked in the NHS for over 30 years, beginning her career as a speech and language therapist, before holding a variety of leadership positions. She is only the second woman to take the top HSJ CEO spot.
The HSJ top chief executives in the NHS was judged by some of the NHS’s leading figures. They are asked to choose the top 50 based on the performance of the organisation run by the CEO, their contribution to the wider healthcare system, and the personal example they set to peers and employees.

Asian Industrial Development from the Perspective of the Motorcycle Industry
by OHARA Moriki , SATO Yuri
This paper discusses the diversity of industrial development among Asian countries that emerges through an investigation of the motorcycle industry despite its uniform industrial attributes. The paper then explores factors that generate diversity, focusing attention on the differences in knowledge-based assets accumulated in each country. It finds that diversity is brought about through the differences in domestic industrial resources and the capabilities of local firms. The analysis underscores each country’s intrinsic logic in industrial development, contrary to the current trend of stressing assimilation through the global production networks of multinational corporations.

Karim Aïnouz achieves the perfect balance between people and locale in “Central Airport THF,” a rare observational documentary that recognizes the beauty of spatial forms without forgetting the individuals who inhabit those voids. Struck by the irony that Berlin’s former Tempelhof Airport, a place of transit amplified by Nazi dreams of grandeur, is now used as a refugee center, the Berlin-based director combines his superb compositional eye with an empathetic glimpse of the lives of a few people living and working in the center. Using a month-by-month structure, and 18-year-old Syrian Ibrahim Al Hussein as his muse, Aïnouz ensures that the men and women who appear on-screen have a humanity to counter the numbing statistics invariably accompanying discussions of refugees. Arty enough for the festival crowd while also topical enough for sales agents, “Central Airport” should collect plenty of stamps in its passport.
The opening boasts a sensitivity to structural forms that could only come from someone with a deep appreciation for architecture and geometrical harmony (Aïnouz was one of the directors involved in the “Cathedrals of Culture” project). Beautifully establishing the expansiveness of the airport, he uses a drone shot accompanied on the soundtrack by Wagner’s Rienzi Overture, thrillingly synchronizing the camera’s rise with the ascending phrases of the insistent strings. Throughout the film, he cuts to Berliners using the park along the airport’s periphery, from kids on Segways to joggers skirting the fence, ensuring viewers don’t forget that “normal” life exists just outside the omnipresent barrier.
But the film’s heart is inside, embodied in Ibrahim’s voiceover as he recalls his life before the war in Syria, when he’d wake up to the songs of Lebanese singer Fairuz and the smell of his mother’s freshly brewed coffee. It’s June, and he’s already been at Tempelhof for five months, waiting for his status to change from the uncertain “protected” category to the more secure “refugee.” Alone, connected to his family in Syria by cell phone but struggling with the deadening isolation inside an airport hangar, Ibrahim dreams of the fruit trees he grew up around, a world far away from the tarmac-surrounded industrial space in cold and grey Berlin.
Aïnouz wisely focuses on just a few people in the center, so apart from overhead shots of the rows upon rows of white cubicle-like living spaces set up in the different hangars that give a vague notion of just how many people reside there (upwards of 3,000), the director avoids the kind of anonymous mass that neuters individuality. The most frequently seen refugee apart from Ibrahim is Qutaiba Nafea, an Iraqi physiotherapist who volunteers at the clinic as a translator and hopes to earn money to pay for German lessons for his wife. Also seen are a few of the people working in the center, men and women trying to accord some dignity to thousands of people in limbo, as well as a security guard patrolling the perimeter and acting as a reminder that the center is a holding pen as well as a temporary haven.
When March rolls around, Ibrahim receives his refugee status and leaves, creating a bit of an emotional hole at the film’s heart in the final 10 minutes or so, although Aïnouz still uses the young man’s voiceover as a way of ensuring a satisfying sense of cohesion. That doesn’t mean he’s making the situation itself satisfying, or pretty; the final words are Ibrahim’s, speaking of the saddest day of his life, when he left Syria. Home remains home, and while the documentary makes certain the audience sees individuals and not statistics, the trauma doesn’t fade away. Rather, it seems as enduring as Tempelhof airport itself.

I don’t really like myself. That is not a put down, that is not a criticism. That does not mean the world, or my world, is ending. That is just what I believe.
*Note: this post is based on my own experiences and opinions – not facts.
Self-esteem and self-worth are often used interchangeably or synonymously when people are asked how they feel about themselves. I’d like to offer up another point of view, which came after realizing my high level of self-esteem – and my shockingly low level of self-worth.

Sweet Rice Thai Cuisine opened its doors in February of 2008. Founded by our parents, better know by the community as Ma and Pa, who wanted to share the generations worth of family recipes with their community of Oak Harbor. However, our story in the food industry doesn't begin here - it actually began with our great-grandparents, who worked as street vendors, selling dishes that put smiles on people's faces. And, Pa spent every morning growing up helping his mother prepare food. This restaurant is more than a food establishment, it is a symbol of our family.
To help shed some light on the family involvement - over 50% of our staff is made up of family and friends, and over the years, every member of our family has done their part to make the restaurant a success. The restaurant is managed by myself, Lek Allen, the oldest daughter of Ma and Pa. While they own the restaurant, Ma and Pa also spend a majority of their time in the kitchen, making sure each dish is made to represent. My two younger sisters have both spent time helping to serve customers and prepare dishes in the kitchen. My husband will support our kitchen staff when needed. And, my brother-in-law, Josh, is a name and face well known by our regular customers, as he helps as a main server.
When you step into Sweet Rice, you are stepping in to a part of our home. Welcome!
