The golden era of rock music
Classic rock is a radio format that developed from the album-oriented rock (AOR) format in the early 1980s. This style comprises the most influential guitar rock artists ranging generally from the mid-1960s through the mid-1990s, primarily focusing on commercially successful blues rock and hard rock.
Classic rock represents a nostalgic era of rock music that continues to resonate with fans of all ages. Its appeal is timeless and its enduring influence makes the genre an integral part of rock history.
Classic rock refers to a genre of rock music that primarily includes popular and enduring rock songs from the late 1960s to the 1980s. These are often considered timeless and iconic tracks that have stood the test of time.
Rock bands featured by so-called Classic Rock stations
Brought to life for reasons of profitability, Classic Rock Radio encompasses original and magnificent genuine guitar rock that originated in the late 1960s and rose to stature in the 1970s, defining the history of rock music in a definitive way.
Their vested interest was to attract rock's core listenership.
The term has survived and continues to refer to the principal representatives of rock music to this day.
The most played songs on classic rock stations are the result of extensive "market research" (which says a lot about the qualification of conventional classic rock stations). However, the songs mentioned in the list below are all truly brilliant and timeless.
Most played classic rock tunes
Aerosmith: Dream On
Jimi Hendrix: All along the watchtower
ACDC: You shook me all night long.
The Doors: L.A. Woman
Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven
Rolling Stones: Sympathy For The Devil
Pink Floyd: Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Sweet Home Alabama
Queen: We Will Rock You
Journey: Don't Stop Believin

Science and technology has advanced greatly over the years. And it is this one that has also a positive effect when it comes to medicine. One of the new branches of medicine that were born due to these advancements is regenerative medicine. It is this one that has shown a lot of advantages even if this one is fairly new. If you want to know what these advantages are then keep on reading this article.
Imporving healing is one of the advantages that one will get with regenerative medicine. Once you take a look at the body then it is the one that heal itself quickly and efficiently. Once it is regenerative medicine is what you are able to have then it’s the one that is able to boost these healing abilities. If it is regenerative medicine is what you will be doing then it is the one that is able to focus and target the healing abilities to where it is really needed. Injecting the PRP or stem cell preparation into the damaged area is what is done with this one. This can result in a speedy healing process.
Once it is regenerative medicine is what you will be choosing to have then it is the one that is capable of decreasing pain and inflammation naturally. For people experiencing chronic pain, it is this ne that they will find it be very beneficial. Reducing the need for anti-inflammatory drugs and other medications is what this is able to do. There will be no side effects once you will be choosing to do regenerative medicine. Once it is regenerative medicine is what you will be choosing to do then it is the one that will be using what is naturally present in the body. There are inflammation caused by autoimmune diseases which regenerative medicine will be able to reduce. If you have conditions or diseases like sciatica, lower back pain, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, sports injuries then it is you that can greatly benefit from this one.
If it is regenerative medicine is what you will be choosing to do then it is you that can have healthier bones and tissue. Repairng what is damage is what traditional medicine is doing. What sets regenerative medicine apart is that it is the one that improves the health of the tissues and bone. It is this one that will supplement your body with super-concentrated platelets and fresh new cells. It is in your bones, skin, muscles, and tendons where this process can be done. Whenever these things are done then it is also these parts that will be able to grow stronger. Once you will be utilizing regenerative medicine then it is the one that can improve the health of your musculoskeletal system.

Here is a link to the full submissions:
Official Plan – Next Steps
The City will send the Council-endorsed policies and mapping to Halton Region to be included in the adopted Official Plan that the Region is reviewing.
Halton Region is the approval authority who will make a decision to approve the City’s new Official Plan.
The Region will provide a draft decision for City Council to consider before the Region makes a final decision on the City’s adopted Official Plan. The Region’s draft decision is expected later this year.
After Halton Region makes a final decision to approve the City’s new Official Plan, parts of the Official Plan can be appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).
The City will share updates about the Region’s approval process on the New Official Plan website at burlington.ca/newop and the “Taking a Closer Look at the Downtown” project webpage at getinvolvedburlington.ca/official-plan-2019.
Design Guidelines – Next Steps
In August 2020, City staff released a first draft of the new Downtown Burlington Placemaking and Urban Design Guidelines, which will help to implement the Official Plan policies for Downtown. The City will continue to seek public feedback on the draft guidelines before presenting the final guidelines to City Council for approval.
The City will share updates about how you can get involved with the Downtown Burlington Placemaking and Urban Design Guidelines at www.getinvolvedburlington.ca/official-plan-2019.

24 August 2009 – By Mark Doyle
Andy Lee took his record to 19-1 with an impressive eighth-round stoppage win over Anthony Shuler at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana on Friday night and immediately turned his attention to fellow Irishman John Duddy.
Lee has been repeatedly linked with a mouth-watering all-Irish middleweight showdown with Duddy and promoter Brian Peters is keen to stage the fight at the University of Limerick Sports Arena on November 28.
“I see the deal for this fight as a 50/50 one because to me the status of both men is on a par – but to make it that bit more attractive to them I’m prepared to offer a $50,000 ( 35,000) bonus to the winner, Peters is quoted as saying by Lees camp.
And after seeing off Shuler, Lee confirmed his interest in a bout which would generate huge interest in Ireland and likely propel the victor towards a world title shot.
I’m up for the fight with John Duddy. This is a fight the public have been speculating about for some considerable time and I believe it will be a memorable occasion with plenty of edge and drama, the Limerick southpaw enthused.

It's widely anticipated that within a few decades the world's crude oil and natural gas supplies will no longer be sufficient to meet global needs for transportation, energy, and chemical products. One primary solution is the development of biorefineries—facilities that use chemical or biological processes to convert sugars, starch, or cellulose from dedicated crops, agricultural residues, or municipal waste into basic chemicals that in turn can be refined to make fuels, plastics, agricultural chemicals, and more.
Bioethanol, biodiesel, and biomass-derived plastics have already hit the marketplace. Now, it's basic chemical feedstocks' turn to go green.
The Department of Energy, as part of its Biomass Program in the Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Office, completed a project two years ago that identified 12 building-block chemicals as targets for biorefineries (C&EN, May 31, 2004, page 31). The first commercial-scale biomass-based plant to produce one of these chemicals, levulinic acid, has been built in Caserta, Italy, by Le Calorie, a subsidiary of Italian construction firm Immobilgi. The 3,000-ton-per-year plant, part of an ecological industrial park, is being tested and is expected to go into full production in the next few months.
The Le Calorie plant produces levulinic acid from cellulose gleaned from local tobacco bagasse and paper mill sludge through a process developed by Biofine Renewables, Waltham, Mass. Biofine, a company formed in 1988 to commercialize technology developed by chemical engineer Stephen W. Fitzpatrick, licensed its levulinic acid process to Le Calorie.
The Biofine process uses dilute sulfuric acid at 220 oC to hydrolyze cellulose from essentially any plant source into sugars, which are further transformed to levulinic acid, Fitzpatrick explains. Key to the process, which takes only about 20 minutes, is a two-stage reactor design that favors formation of levulinic acid over a series of other possible products.
Levulinic acid can be produced in yields of up to 70%, or about 0.5 kg per kg of cellulose, along with formic acid and furfural as valuable by-products, Fitzpatrick says. Lignin from the starting material is another by-product and is degraded to a carbon-rich char during the process. The material can be burned or gasified to generate electricity to help run the plant. Biofine received a 1999 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award for developing the technology and demonstrating it in a pilot plant.
Used for years in food, fragrance, and specialty chemical applications, levulinic acid is a precursor for methyltetrahydrofuran, γ-valerolactone, and ethyl levulinate, which can all be blended with diesel or gasoline to create cleaner-burning fuels, Fitzpatrick says. Another derivative, diphenolic acid, is a potential replacement for suspected endocrine disrupter bisphenol A in the production of polycarbonate resins. Diphenolic acid is particularly interesting because it allows formation of graft copolymers rather than the usual linear polycarbonates, Fitzpatrick adds. Yet another valuable derivative is 5-aminolevulinic acid, a high-volume biodegradable herbicide.
"Levulinic acid is nontoxic, and the bifunctionality of the keto and carboxylic acid groups allows for all kinds of fascinating new chemistry," notes Leo E. Manzer, who recently visited the Le Calorie facility. Manzer retired from DuPont last year and is now president of consulting firm Catalytic Insights, Wilmington, Del. At DuPont, he spent several years studying the conversion of levulinic acid to various derivatives.
Manzer is particularly interested in developing pyrrolidones, which are used as solvents, surfactants, agricultural intermediates, ionic liquids, and nylon intermediates. This family of heterocyclic compounds can be made by catalytic reaction of levulinic acid or its esters with low-cost sources of nitrogen such as amines or nitriles, he notes.
Biomass-based feedstocks will become more important, Manzer believes, as companies like DuPont continue to seek new ways to improve efficiencies and keep down costs. For example, DuPont has a goal to derive 25% of its revenues from nondepletable resources by 2010.
In identifying their top 12 biorefinery chemicals, DOE scientists started with a list of more than 300 potential compounds. They narrowed the list down through an iterative process that considered the compounds' compatibility with existing petrochemical processing, technical complexity of the syntheses from biomass, known market potential, and other factors. The 12 molecules have three to six carbon atoms and multiple functional groups as well as high potential to be converted to new families of compounds.
Unofficially, glycerol was the first of the top 12 chemicals to achieve commercial development as a biomass-derived feedstock to make propylene glycol and other products. But glycerol is a by-product of the esterification of triglycerides in vegetable oil to make methyl esters, the principal components of biodiesel, and it isn't made directly from biomass on a commercial scale (C&EN, July 10, page 24). Besides levulinic acid and glycerol, the other DOE compounds are 1,4-diacids (succinic, fumaric, and malic), 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, aspartic acid, glucaric acid, glutamic acid, itaconic acid, 3-hydroxybutyrolactone, sorbitol, and xylitol/arabinitol.
The Le Calorie plant is evidence that developing biorefineries is "not just a pipe dream," Manzer says.
"We truly can refine biomass to create fuels and value-added chemicals," Fitzpatrick adds.

A West Lothian football community club are sponsoring the NHS on their jerseys.
East Calder Community Football Club decided to have the logo on their strips to raise cash and awareness amidst the coronavirus crisis.
The club got in touch with their kit supplier, Football Nation, to discuss the idea and both parties came together to support the NHS.
Vice chairman Davie Walls explained: “Our chairman, Robbie Brownright, phoned Football Nation with the idea and they were fully supportive.
“The idea was that for every kit we ordered they would make a donation to the NHS, which we would then match.
“For every strip we order £1.66 goes to the NHS. So far we have ordered 180 strips and will be ordering another 200 more.
“It is not really about the money, though, it is more about the awareness. It’s not really a lot of cash but what we are hoping is that if more clubs can be inspired and do something similar then that would create scope to raise bigger money.
“At the moment we just wanted to show solidarity with the NHS. We have parents and families who work with the NHS, or as carers, so it is a good example to set to the kids.”
The idea for the NHS was not the original idea they had for their strips. The club had been in talks with Football Nation to do something on mental health awareness but when the coronavirus struck the NHS took priority.
Supporting mental health awareness is something they will be looking to follow up in the very near future.
Davie continued: “Initially we were looking at mental health awareness and having the Be Kind logo on the kids strips and Be Strong on the adult jerseys.
“But we will be picking this up again, and have decided that the mental health logos will go on the training kits.
“We have so may kids here and we just feel like we have a duty of care for their wellbeing.
“Since Robbie and I got involved at the club things are really beginning to move on. We have big aspirations and already have taken it from just four teams to the 15 we have now.
“Before Covid-19 struck we were due to have a new 3g pitch installed and were bringing in a girls team but we will just have to wait for the moment.
“We are in a good position for the future and that wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the strong committee that we have behind us.

Taiwanese notebook manufacturer Quanta Computer has won a deal which will see them manufacture the MacBook Air, Apple’s new ultra-slim notebook.
“Apple, which has just introduced its new MacBook Air, will outsource corresponding assembly orders to Quanta,” DigiTimes notes. “Total sales contribution from Apple is expected to surpass 20% this year on an estimated volume of 6-8 million units.”
Quanta will become Apple’s main original equipment manufacturer in 2008 as the spin-off at Asustek Computer has prompted Apple to shift its orders to Quanta.
The notebook manufacturer has previously worked with Apple for the manufacturing of MacBook models.


Disney is on a roll with its live-action adaptations right now. After the box office success of Maleficent and Cinderella, the House of Mouse enjoyed greater critical acclaim (and bigger box office returns too) with the live-action Jungle Book. Next up is the highly-anticipated Beauty and the Beast re-imagining (the trailer for which broke the record for most views in the first 24 hours), followed by live-action re-imaginings of The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Lion King, Dumbo, and Winnie the Pooh.
A live-action Winnie the Pooh sounds as though it should be all but impossible; how do you begin to make a live-action movie about some stuffed toys? But Disney have other ideas, and the movie that is now titled Robin, will actually focus on Christopher Robin as an adult, reportedly relying on a healthy dose of magical realism to bring everything to life. Though no release date is set for Robin yet, the project has landed a director in the form of Marc Forster.
Forster, whose involvement with Robin was reported by THR, has enjoyed a long and varied career already; directing films such as Monsters Ball, The Kite Runner, and World War Z. Forster also directed Finding Neverland; the 2004 film starring Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet that focuses on the life of J.M. Barrie. Many will recall that the movie told a deeply emotive tale, and was a big success, receiving 7 Oscar nominations. In that respect, it seems as though Forster could be an excellent choice to direct what Disney is describing as an “emotional journey with heartwarming adventure.”
Robin will tell the story of a work-focused adult Christopher Robin (seemingly known just as Robin for this movie), who puts his work above his wife and daughter. He has grown out of his imaginative childhood, which saw him enjoying many an adventure with his Hundred Acre Wood friends, but the return of Winnie the Pooh changes all that – because Pooh needs help in finding all his friends and Robin needs to find a way to help him. Winnie the Pooh without Piglet? It’s a heartbreaking thought.
Though each of Disney’s live-action remakes present their own problems in terms of how the adaptation might be done, it is perhaps Winnie the Pooh that causes the most consternation. For many, Winnie the Pooh and all of his friends have been a big part of their childhood and are still thought of with great fondness. The popularity that the Bear of very little brain holds has simply never waned, and Disney has enjoyed massive revenue from various Winnie the Pooh films and merchandise over the years.
With that in mind: Disney have proven with Jungle Book, and may very well prove again with Beauty and the Beast, that it’s more than capable of producing a live-action version of Winnie the Pooh’s world that brings something new to the table – while also paying the perfect homage to its predecessors. Let’s hope Forster can deliver the same for everybody’s favorite bear.
Robin currently has no release date set. We’ll let you know when that changes.


Honda launched the latest version of their beloved Super Cub with a one-off custom by
Thai shop K-Speed. K-Speed is back with an even better Super Cub in collaboration with Storm Aeropart, who created all-new plastics to cover the frame and forks. The Super Cub rides on 17-inch carbon fiber solid-disc wheels shod with vintage Firestone rubber and a lowered stance thanks to a stretched swingarm and new shocks. A massive improvement to the Cub's braking capabilities comes via front and rear disc brakes versus the original drums and a new exhaust gives the 109cc single lunger a bit more bark. New bars, footpegs, switchgear, and speedometer round out the build. K-Speed proves that bikes don't have to be big to turn heads, and the Super Cub is more than just a small runabout.

Gov’t Mule has announced the first-ever digital release of Stoned Side of the Mule, Vol. 1 & 2. The live album, culled from the band’s 2009 Rolling Stones-themed Halloween show, was issued in 2015 as a vinyl-only release. Along with the announcement, the Warren Haynes-led ensemble shared its rendition of “Under My Thumb”.
Recorded live at The Tower Theatre just outside Philadelphia, PA on October 31st, 2009, Stoned Side of the Mule finds the Southern blues outfit carrying on its tradition of musical costumes. Previous installments included tributes to Pink Floyd, heard on Dark Side of the Mule, as well as Led Zeppelin. In 2009, however, Gov’t Mule tipped its cap to one of the foundational bands of rock n’ roll.
The 13-track album—set for reissue on transparent red and blue 2LP vinyl as well as on CD and digitally for the first time—features takes on Stones classics including “Paint It Black”, “Wild Horses”, “Brown Sugar”, and more. The band gets some help along the way from saxophonist Steve Elson (Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Bowie) and guitarist/vocalist Jackie Greene (Phil Lesh & Friends) who appear throughout the cover set.
First issued by Provogue in 2015, Stoned Side of the Mule, Vol. 1 & 2 also celebrated the 20th anniversary of Gov’t Mule. The album quickly sold out and is now slated for a first-ever European repress as it also joins CD and digital formats.

Make A Software Modification of an ECU in Australia
The control unit is nothing more than a special computer that controls the operation of all vehicle systems. If it's a computer, it's based on microcircuits or chips. Chips are program carriers that are written and installed at the factory where the car is assembled.
This setup method actually changes various program and controller settings. There are different software tools to do this. As a result, after the changes are made, the performance of the power unit improved and some car owners claimed that they could get the full potential of the engine.
This is done by programmers who know and understand the operation and algorithms of the ECUs of various brands and models and can make the necessary changes to improve performance. You can also check the benefits of remapping through multiple sources.
Image Source: Google
The result of this procedure does not depend on the technological capabilities but on the person who is performing this job. If he does not understand the nuances of a certain engine function, then such a procedure has no advantages, and the car owner will receive continuous disadvantages.
However, attentive readers will notice that if the motor runs at high power, then there is no need to change any setting right now. Experts say you shouldn't be afraid to increase your fuel consumption. Increasing the power in no way increases the "appetite" of the engine.

In the United States, 12 million barrels of oil are used in the production of the 100 billion plastic bags produced each year. Approximately 200,000 plastic bags go to landfills every hour.
About 8 million tons of plastic gets in the sea each year, and at this proportion, we look a future with extra plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050. Turtles think they are Jellyfish and birds think it’s something tasty. They tangle themselves around propellers and fishes are seen eating plastic bags. Plastic is stuck to free dive and surfboard fins and in the open high seas, plastic bags are seen more than fishes. They are the number one enemy of marine life.
Most of us are familiar with the environmental allegations against disposable plastic bags. They can harm native wildlife, crowd our landfills and pollute our oceans – not to mention the fact that their production has a large carbon footprint. You may also know that across the world, various countries, states, provinces and cities have taken to placing plastic bag bans. Others have tied taxes and charges to combat the problem. As if you didn’t have enough reasons to switch to reusable bags, consider these frequently asked questions about plastic bag bans around the globe.
Where did plastic bag regulation begin?
The first governmental barrier to plastic bag use occurred in Denmark in 1993. The legislation created a tax imposed on plastic bag producers, according to the Earth Policy Institute. Because companies had to pay higher taxes on the bags they produced, costs began to rise for consumers. The regulation resulted in a 60 per cent reduction in plastic bag consumption across the country.
How else do governments tax plastic bag use?
Denmark is just one example of a country that has reduced its consumption of these harmful products. Ireland also imposed a tax on plastic bags – but this time, the charge was applied directly to consumers. People had to pay about 15 euro cents per plastic bag each time they obtained one from a store. Consumption of the bags fell by a whopping 90 per cent.
Whether governments tax plastics companies or consumers, it appears that adding additional charges to plastic bag use is effective. Some countries and cities, however, have taken to banning bags entirely.
THE GOOD NEWS!
The plastic bag is one of the easiest plastic items to replace with an ocean friendly action. Most of us, still use plastic bags, not because we want them. We know it’s not the way to go by now. We simply forget to bring reusable bags in the first place, and the availability doesn’t pressure slightly hard enough to create the essential habit of always bringing your own bag.
Good things are being done. On EU level goals have been put in place to ‘drastically reduce’ bags. Shops have started charging for plastic bags now, and more and more countries and municipalities start banning them altogether (hoorah Hawaii and Delhi, Rwanda, Bangladesh, and Antigua). In the Spanish Balearics, bags are banned as from next year. In Italy, you now have to pay for your bag when getting veggies. Many of these bans, start in 2019 or 2020. Who’s next? It takes time and many countries haven’t pledged yet to ban the bag.
The good news: we can start NOW! So instead of using plastic bags, we can use woven net bag, canvas produce bags, cotton mesh grocery bags, reusable cotton mesh produce bags, cotton net produce bags. Big positive changes can come from individuals taking the lead.

Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank In Merger Talks
Posted: 19 March 2019 | Source: zephyr
Deutsche Bank has confirmed that discussions are underway which could lead to a merger with domestic peer Commerzbank.
The company said it is currently in the process of reviewing its strategic options with a view to improving its growth profile and profitability.
However, it cautioned that there is no guarantee of a deal being reached.
Christian Sewing, chief executive of Deutsche Bank, has gone as far as to issue a letter to all employees, saying that he hopes to provide staff with some context in the wake of constant rumours.
He noted that the company’s goal is to be a global bank with strong capital markets, based on a leading position in Germany and throughout Europe, and as such, only options which make sense from an economic standpoint will be considered.
Sewing cautioned that a number of economic and technical factors could obstruct a combination of the two companies.
Potential hurdles outlined in a Financial Times (FT) report include the fact that any merger would need the seal of approval from both parties’ supervisory boards, while certain Commerzbank assets would have to be revalued at current market prices.
In addition, a deal would need funding, while there are concerns that a transaction could distract Deutsche Bank’s senior management at a time when it is still trying to integrate Postbank, which it has majority-owned since 2010 and wholly-owned since late 2015.
The potential merger is also being opposed by unions, with DBV leader Stephan Szukalski cited by the FT as saying the move would be a “grave mistake”.
Nevertheless, this is not the first time Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank have been linked; in August 2016, Handelsblatt said the latter could be a target and that talks had taken place.
According to Zephyr, the M&A database published by Bureau van Dijk, there have been 31 deals worth a combined USD 9.86 billion involving a merger of commercial banks announced worldwide since the start of 2019.

Our guest on Monday, December 20, 2015 The Chris Wolf Show was Tom Ulichny of the Midcoast Music Academy in Rockland, Maine. Tom discussed music in general, the Midcoast Music Academy, as well as showing us “live looping” and treating us to live performances of his songs.
In 2005, Tom Ulichny graduated Magna Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. As a multi-instrumentalist at Berklee, Tom studied guitar, drums, and world percussion, followed by a semester in Pune, India, studying Indian rhythmic systems and tabla, a traditional Indian hand drum. After graduating, Tom worked as an adjunct professor for the St. John School of the Arts in the U.S. Virgin Islands and was the Director of Music Education for Fell’s Point Music in Baltimore, MD, where he developed curriculum for an African drumming program at Living Classrooms Charter School. In the fifteen years that Tom that has been teaching private lessons and music seminars, he has worked with students of all ages and skill levels. Tom now makes his home in midcoast Maine, and is in full pursuit of a lifelong dream through the founding of the Midcoast Music Academy in Rockland.
Midcoast Music Academy (MCMA), www.midcoastmusicacademy.com, is a community music school founded in January 2012 and located in downtown Rockland, Maine that provides the highest quality music instruction to students of all ages and skill levels in a fun, relaxed, and creative environment. MCMA emphasizes access to music education regardless of financial constraints and combines the fundamentals of music – theory, notation, and ear training – with a contemporary approach to learning. At MCMA, they believe students should learn to play what they love and love what they play.
Tom’s passion for both percussion and stringed instruments led him to live looping, which allows him to record instantly while performing and build complex layers of melody, harmony, and rhythm. On October 1st, 2015, Ulichny released his debut album, “Lately,” recorded at Anchour Studios, which emphasizes a natural analog sound that closely mimics the live experience. Drawing from influences as diverse as old school slide and fingerpicking blues, Americana, traditional Hindustani and Carnatic music, experimental folk singer Andrew Bird and Afropop artist Oliver Mtukudzi, Ulichny’s music is equal parts warm soul and audio science.
The show was broadcast on WRFR Community Radio, Channel 7 Time Warner Maine Coast TV, and streamed live on www.mainecoast.tv/streaming, 8:00-9:00 a.m. EST.
The Chris Wolf Show is a joint project of PenBay Pilot, WRFR FM Community Radio and Maine Coast TV Community Television.

I had an appointment to get my 2011 Silverado 2500 aligned. They found there was an issue and corrected it but were concerned it may still pull due to the uneven wear on my current tires. They were going to try to move them around to make it track the best they could, but the tires had 50k miles on them so I decided to just replace them a few months earlier than planned. They got me a fair price on some tires I had already inquired about and took care of it the same day. They didn't try to push me into the sale or any extras. I appreciated their advice and will definitely be going back for future needs.

Inaction over Chicago police reform
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has a famous rule: “Never let a crisis go to waste.” He got what he wanted.
The crisis with Chicago police is a golden opportunity for reform. But the only way to avoid wasting it is to pivot away from blaming individual cops and toward reforming a broken system that rewards exactly the type of inaction he displayed by turning his eyes away from the shocking film in which Laquan McDonald is gunned down by Chicago police.
Officer Jason Van Dyke has been indicted for first-degree murder and all the direct blame has been on him. But to really understand the persistence of police brutality, focus on the eight cops who stood and watched a cold-blooded killing, five of whom turned in nearly identical yet wildly inaccurate reports exonerating their fellow officer. Or the top brass who signed off on these reports, even after seeing the video they blatantly contradicted. Or the City Council, which paid $5 million in hush money without asking to see the video. Or the mayor’s lawyers, who did see the video — and insisted on keeping it under wraps.
The public wants to know: Why did nobody speak up? The answer is: because when it comes to police brutality, action is dangerous and inaction is safe. Chicago has a long sorry history of rewarding inaction and punishing action, and both the cops and the politicians know it.
Consider the story of Frank Laverty, who joined the Chicago Police Department in 1968 and became a homicide detective. But he derailed his career by blowing the whistle on the department’s illegal practice of keeping secret files of evidence never disclosed to defense attorneys. Laverty disclosed one of these files to stop an innocent man from being tried for capital murder, and then received death threats from his fellow officers. Of all those involved in this disgraceful incident, only one officer was charged with a disciplinary infraction: Laverty himself, for failing to work within the chain of command. He ended up demoted to collecting urine samples from police recruits.
This happened at the infamous Area Two, the precinct in which John Burge and his men tortured at least 117 suspects. Each complaint was dismissed as meritless, until finally in 1989 a group of civil rights attorneys received an anonymous note from someone with intimate knowledge of the police conduct — someone who plausibly claimed to be a detective. But he didn’t go public, he said, because he didn’t want to suffer the same fate as Frank Laverty.
This chain of events helps explain why a police officer, even one of good conscience, might help cover up a criminal act by a fellow cop. At the Chicago P.D., only the disloyal have anything to fear. The chances of being disciplined or even denied promotion are statistically minuscule while the risks of disloyalty are enormous. This is true all the way up the chain of command and beyond.
A good story usually has villains with evil motives and some kind of change at the end. But the story of Chicago police brutality and corruption is far more banal. When we look for villains, we miss the real story. Sometimes there is a genuine hero like Frank Laverty or a villain like John Burge. But reform isn’t stymied by a few bad cops. It’s stymied by the complicity of all those who ignore it. Complicity throughout the city — by the attorney general, the City Council and now the mayor. Even inaction by the courts, which far too often turn a blind eye to police perjury.
In this case, some have pointed to motives for the cover-up, such as the mayor’s tough 2014 re-election race. But looking away is the traditional Chicago response to police brutality in any season because it is confined to neighborhoods where poor, marginalized people reside — people without influence. For the rest of the city, it is usually invisible. When the occasional story of brutality surfaces, it becomes too easy to believe assurances that the police had to defend themselves, or that what happened was an aberration.
This is where we get to the most uncomfortable layer of inaction: our own. Few of us would explicitly condone murder or torture by those sworn to protect us. But we don’t have to approve of it. We just have to look the other way.
The videos contradicting the official story have changed the game. They have sparked outrage and created another Rahmian “crisis” that shouldn’t go to waste, even if the mayor becomes a casualty of his own doctrine.
Lasting change will come only when the official city incentives are changed — when laziness in the face of outrageous conduct becomes a liability instead of a strategy for getting through the day.

Augusta city leaders say it's time to judge City Administrator Fred Russell's job performance.
As we first told you Tuesday, the performance of Russell was discussed in a closed door legal session.
Several Augusta Commissioners have been critical of Russell because they were not told, beforehand, that downtown Augusta was going to be designated a slum area.
Commissioners took no action after the legal session, but some are now pushing to require Russell to undergo a regular job evaluation.
"You know, department heads need to be evaluated. I believe the Administrator does, as well, so we do know what our goals are. If there is any dissatisfaction that comes out in evaluation and you work to improve upon that, so it's more open communication," says Commissioner Mary Davis.
Davis plans to propose holding evaluations for the City Administrator at the next week's committee meetings.

A Domain By Any Other Name
Websites are headed towards major name changes. Recent amendments have authorized the creation of a porn specific .XXX domain, allowed non-Latin alphabet characters into the address bar, and most significantly freed top-level domain names from the conventional endings of .com, .org, .edu, et al. When these changes trickle down to the average user, the Internet will never be the same.
ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers – a governing body of the Internet, recently adopted a series of sweeping policy changes. The timeline is roughly as follows:
- May 2010, the language of the website address literally changed through the implementation of internationalized domain names. For the first time ever, website addresses could be created in non-Latin based alphabets (i.e. Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic).
- After much debate, in March 2011, ICANN developed the .XXX domain name, allocating an Internet location exclusively for the adult industry.
- Perhaps the most revolutionary change of all came on June 20, 2011, when ICANN President Rod Beckstrom announced approval of a plan to allow Internet address top-level domain names to be freed from the restrictions of the current 22 endings (which includes the familiar .com, .org and .net). As Beckstrom phrased it, “The Internet’s addressing system has just been opened up to the limitless possibilities of human imagination and creativity…So when you think dot-com, dot-net, now think dot-open to new things, to new ideas.”
With just these three new naming possibilities, the extent of their effects are wholly unpredictable but most certainly expansive.
Consider the adoption of internationalized domain names. At first glance, this appears to be a gesture of acceptance. What poses as an act of inclusion for a global community and an embrace of every possible language of the population, however, delivers a set of disconnects and a slew of issues through the abandonment of a single universal alphabet.
Many of these issues are cited by Computer Science Professor Daniel Bernstein in an article on his website critiquing the internationalized domain names. Most of Bernstein’s concerns are around the programing and security issues surrounding character-set expansion. Bernstein offers the following example:
“Users frequently check whether domain names are the same by reading the names… However, if Greek omicron is allowed, the same procedure becomes inherently unreliable, no matter how careful the reader is. In some situations the procedure can be exploited by attackers to violate security. …by treating α.com (lowercase Greek alpha dot com) equivalently to Α.com (uppercase Greek Alpha dot com), so that the confusion of Α.com and A.com extends to confusion of α.com and a.com. It will be impossible to correct this mistake later if any users start relying on separate registrations of Α (Alpha) and A.”
The BBC solicited reactions from Internet users upon the announcement of ICANN’s plans to allow non-Latin-script web addresses. One particularly poignant observation came from a user who would have seemed a likely been a beneficiary of the internationalized domain expansion, Stefanos Likkas, of Athens, Greece;
“It may seem as counter-intuitive but being Greek, and Greeks don’t use the Latin alphabet, I find this change very worrisome. There is a great danger that the Internet, which has hitherto been a unitary tool for culture, information-sharing and dialog on an international level may become irreversibly fragmented. It will become even more difficult to access information databases in Russian or Chinese websites…It somehow feels regressive.”
These possible consequences, the fragmentation of the Internet and security concerns, continue thematically with regard to the subsequent website name changing policy, that of the .XXX domain allocation.
The new website suffix .XXX operates with rules different from many of its predecessors. To acquire a .XXX domain a set of criteria must be met – namely, the content of the site must be related to the adult industry. The motivation of ICANN behind forming the .XXX domain appears to be that of creating a clear identification for explicit web content – making it easy to discern (for adults) and easy to block (from children and underage viewership). While the security of children is truly a concern, like many safeguard solutions of the past, the .XXX domain seems to provide more censorship and free-speech concerns rather than its proposed services and conveniences. In a Rhizome.com discussion surrounding a previously considered safeguard solution (that of setting up a “.kids” domain – a safe place for children to browse the web), self proclaimed digital rights activist Liza Sabater warns of the start of a “ghettoization of the internet” through the sectioning off virtual real estate. Sabater declares domains that use specific criteria are not to be considered “digital sanctuary,” but rather, “digital ghettos, reservations and encampments. They will not be there to protect our freedoms. They will be there to delimit the fiefdoms of the corporate lords of the Internet.” Perhaps her sentiment seems dramatic, but even Wired.com refers to the new .xxx domain as a “Red-Light District For The Internet.”
While the adoption of .XXX by the adult websites is completely voluntary, it will be interesting to see if the allocation is wholly rejected as so-called ghettoization or embraced as ideal website branding, and fertile ground for new adult sites to expand and grow into.
None of the fore mentioned website name changing policies provide as much uncertainty and speculation as that of the elaborate expansion of the top-level domain names.
In the immediate future, this ICANN policy will be seen mostly through corporate websites. This is thanks to the hefty price tag surrounding the acquisition of “limitless possibility” domain naming, and the ICANN application process being targeted towards using the new domains for promotional purposes. Even so, corporations will certainly be found struggling with this change. For as much as the policy opens a world of branding opportunities (Imagine, as the Los Angeles Times did, “Coca-Cola might control the domain .coke and assign Web addresses such as drink.coke or bottle.coke.”) – the policy also opens a “cybersquatting” can of worms. As the Financial Times highlighted;
“Companies are also concerned the move will spur increased “cybersquatting”, where trademark names are snapped up by Internet opportunists. Few are convinced by claims that the new system will create valuable ways for companies to brand themselves online.“This is a classic example of a solution without a problem,” Ken Hittel, vice-president of the corporate Internet department at New York Life Insurance Company, said.“This is essentially a protection racket run by ICANN on behalf of its true constituents, the registrars and registries”, who will profit from the expansion of the Internet addressing system he said.
“It is going to make it much more difficult for companies that are already having challenges defending their trademarks online,” said Chris Cylke, director of congressional and public affairs at the US Chamber of Commerce.”
It could be predicted that in the near future, companies will begin to explore the possibilities and create ‘clever.names’ by being, as it was said, “dot-open to new things.” Marketing and advertising experts will have corporations spending lots of money to further develop their online identities, while branding pros will scramble to buy up all possible domains they required to protect their brand and image.
If this is the near future, for what ICANN dubbed, “limitless possibilities of human imagination and creativity,” then what becomes of the consumer, that is, the everyday Internet user?
Clearly, the results of ICANN’s recent developments will have far reaching ramifications, whatever those happen to be. Is the possible future of the Internet a fragmented world, speckled with unsavory ghettos and dominated by wealthy corporations?
What’s in a name? That which we call a website… By any other name – will change the Internet forever.

Congressional opposition to a shipment of nuclear fuel to India is mounting, and critics in House and Senate will seek to block it in a test of strength with President Carter over policy on the spread of nuclear weapons.
The president's stated intent to ship the fuel to India in the face of a unanimous vote against shipment by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has prompted key Senate and House leaders to voice discontent to the White House and State Department. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has scheduled hearings on the issue for next month and the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee is considering calling its own hearings.
Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio), chairman of the subcommittee on nuclear proliferation, advised Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie yesterday to tell the president to delay approval of the shipment to India until Congress has given the issue a full airing.
"Glenn told Muskie he felt that if the president makes a quick decision to override the NRC he could lose on the issue in the Senate," an aide to Glenn said yesterday. "He told Muskie that he felt the United States would be abandoning its policy on weapons spread if the Indian licenses are approved."
On the House side, Rep. Clement Zablocki (D-Wis.), chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said there is considerable opposition to the Indian shipments in the committee and it could easily be beaten by committee vote.
"Our general feeling is that if we waive the law for India, we lose any leverage we have with out countries on nuclear weapons spread," Zablocki said in an interview. "We could lose our credibility on this one."
Rep. Jonathan Bingham (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House subcommittee on international economic policy, who voted to approve the shipment of nuclear fuel to India two years ago, said yesterday he opposes the new shipments and plans to fight.
"I hope the president doesn't approve this shipment and I hope he doesn't send it up here for approval," Bingham said yesterday. "It would be a grave mistake in this case and I have sent word to the White House that if the president approves it I will file a resolution of disapproval."
Four other House members sent a letter Thursday urging Carter not to overturn the May 16 vote by the NRC. The letter was sent by Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.), John Buchanan (R-Alaska) and Thomas Downey (D.-N.Y.). They also circulated a "Dear Colleague" letter to all House members seeking support.
The licenses for India involve two shipments of 19 tons of enriched uranium for the nuclear power station at Tarapur, north of Bombay. Last week the NRC voted disapproval of both shipments on grounds that they violated the two key provisions of the 1978 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act.
The 1978 law bars shipments of nuclear fuel to countries that have not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty banning the spread of nuclear weapons and that refuse to open all their nuclear research facilities to inspection.
"I voted for approval the last time on grounds that we needed time to talk to India about these things," Bingham said. "Not only has no progress been made on these two issues, but India has moved a step backward in that Prime Minister (Indira) Gandhi won't even give us the same assurances on nuclear weapons development that Prime Minister (Moraji) Desai did two years ago."
Though he has yet to sign an executive order approving shipments to India, Carter has said he plans to do so to strengthen U.S. ties with India. Carter has told congressional leaders the United States cannot afford to anger India because of unstable situations in Iran and Afghanistan.

Microsoft Hires Ex-CBS Executive to Oversee Xbox Content
Tellem, who was president of CBS Network Television Entertainment Group, has joined Microsoft as entertainment and digital media president, according to a statement today from the Redmond, Washington-based company.
The appointment highlights Microsoft’s increased emphasis on delivering movies, sports and television shows through the Xbox 360, a gaming console about to enter the seventh year since its release. It has more than 65 applications that connect to such services as Netflix, Hulu Plus and Time Warner Inc. (TWX)’s HBO GO. Xbox Live’s 44 million subscribers spend on average 80 hours a month consuming online video, said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Studios.
“The box has really evolved into a platform for creators and consumers to find all the content they love,” Spencer said in a telephone interview.
Tellem, who will head a new production studio in Los Angeles, will examine Microsoft’s portfolio of games for sources of content, and also will mine Hollywood for movies, television shows and Web content, she said, speaking in the same interview.
“It’s all about creating compelling content,” Tellem said. “We’re opening our doors to all types of talent.”
Though the executives declined to discuss specific budgets for such content, Spencer said the company plans to make a significant commitment since “being state-of-the-art and extremely high-quality is critical to gaining consumer mind share.”
Tellem oversaw network entertainment at CBS until 2009, when she stepped down to become an adviser to Chief Executive officer Leslie Moonves.
Microsoft was little changed at $31.18 at the New York close. The shares have risen 20 percent this year.

Should Parents Always Forgive Their Kids?
My neighbour's son is a juvenile delinquent who has been caught stealing money from his parents. He has even indulged in drugs and alcohol and women. He's failed his exams several times and is becoming a bum with no aspirations and ambitions. He has spent his parent's money on one course after another and is still unable to decide what he wants to do with his life. I was just wondering should parents keep forgiving their kids and let them take advantage of them just because they are parents?

The Maoists have outraged over CM Jagan’s rule in AP through a letter. Recently, they have released a letter in the name of Ganesh to CM Jagan. Ganesh, secretary of the AOB Special Zonal Committee, erred on Jagan for claiming that he had achieved a lot of development during his two-year rule.
Recently, the Maoists released a letter to the media. In the letter, they alleged that CM is mortgaging State for funding Navaratnalu schemes. The letter lamented that the government had failed to notice and solve the fundamental problems of the people. Ganesh was incensed that public associations, democrats and opposition party leaders were being prosecuted for speaking out on public issues. It is flagrant that freedom of expression is being eroded by filing cases without even on the media for writing articles against the government.


Perth Glory will be looking to bounce from back to back losses, when it entertains State Cup winners Floreat Athena at Ashfield Arena on Saturday, in Week 20 of the PS4 National Premier League WA.
Glory coach John Gibson said Tuesday’s defeat at Armadale was another one that got away, but insisted the young side continued to learn valuable lessons.
“We started off really well - but then we were 2-0 down after only 20 minutes,” he said.
Gibson said the players have worked really hard to improve their game at this level and is confident they will be ready for another tough test against a good Floreat side.
“They (Floreat) impressed in the Westfield FFA Cup last week, and have some talented players, in their side, but our primary concern is ourselves and what we do,” he said.
"Silly errors have cost dearly, but we are ready for another tough game, and the group will come with a fearless attitude and ready to compete.
Glory striker Nikola Talimdzioski bagged a brace against Armadale and said they should have taken something from the game.
“It was an unfortunate loss, although you have to give credit to Armadale for coming out firing in the first half to take a 2-0 lead,” he said.
“We did all we could to fight and come back into the game, but Armadale had more heart and took the three points.”
Talimdzioski, whose two goals on Tuesday took his goal tally to ten for the season, said Floreat are playing well and Glory needed to be ready from the kick-off.
“We need to be switched on from the first whistle on Saturday, and not like we were at Armadale,” he said.
“They (Floreat) have been in real good form lately, so we know they'll be no push overs, so we'll need to be on top of our game to pull off an upset, but we are looking forward to the challenge.”
Kick-off is at 3pm and entry is free to all Perth Glory members.
The U-18s kick-off at 11 while the U-20s team start at 1pm.


Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL is a 6.8-inch mega-sized smartphone. This is a high-end model in the big screen category. It has a lot of features that cannot be seen in mid-level smartphones. Mainly, the camera in Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is one such excellently featured specification.
The features, specifications, and design are really fantastic in Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. At the same time, the price is also high. Camera, Audio, and Battery are minds blowing in Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. Some people may think, is this a tablet or smartphone. It is a smartphone in our point of view. Because it follows the pattern of the smartphone. In no way, it touched a tablet pattern, including the design. For many, a tablet-sized smartphone is a dream to have. The main reason is the big screen which gives us a better feel while watching videos or playing games or reading articles or books.
Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL Review: Design and Build
The design of Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra looks sleek and stylish, unlike previous editions of Zenfone. The size is the defining factor above all others. Asus tried to make it look like a smartphone. That worked in few angles, but the size is something anyone can notice easily. One disappointment is, you can’t use Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra with one hand.
The metal frame of Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is made of Aluminum alloy with CNC technology. Like many Android smartphones, Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra also has rounded corners and curvy sides. At the right side, we found the power button. At the top and bottom, a 3.5mm audio jack and USB type-C port are found. Surprisingly, the volume rockers are placed at the back side. It is also helpful in handling the volume rocker while holding the phone.
The rear camera with the flashlight is placed on the rear top left side. The front camera is on the front top while the fingerprint scanner found below the screen.
Though the screen size is big in Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra, the screen to body ratio is only 79%. The screen size is 6.8-inch with the full HD screen resolution. We felt the screen resolution could have been more than the full HD, as the screen size is bigger than the usual size. The display is made of IPS technology. The viewing angle is good even with the flat angle. Touch response is good, and it also works with 10-fingers at the same time.
The colors are clearly visible even in the daylight. Bluelight Filter is available within the device settings. One of the important features is the 4K TV-grade image processor which is available in the Tru2Life+ technology. This 4K video support justifies the big size screen. The screen is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
Hardware and Software Performance
Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra packs Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 Octa-core processor coupled with Adreno 510 GPU. This is quite good for mid-level performance. But with the hectic price of Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra, this is a low specification. At least a Snapdragon 820 could be better. There are two variants based on RAM available on the market. The lower variant has 3GB RAM, and the higher variant has 4GB RAM. It is safe to go with the 4GB RAM since it boosts the multitasking performance and also helps with the Android software updates in the future.
In our testing conditions, we feel some heating issues of the device while playing high-end games. The device doesn’t have volume controllers; it is a bit awkward to manage the volume everytime from the Settings panel.
The internal storage is either 64GB or 128GB. The 64GB storage is enough for many. But it depends on the user. The operating system of Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow which is rolled along with the Asus Zen UI 3.0. The CPU and older version of Android OS are something dragging the justification of the price tag.
In the audio, Asus did a great job with choosing high-class speakers and audio output. It has Dual5 magnet speakers with NXP smart AMP, Hi-Res audio 192KHz / 24-bit standard, DTS Headphone X with 7.1 Surround sound and dual internal mic.
The rear camera is seriously amazing in Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. It has a 23MP camera in the rear with PixelMaster 3.0 app features. It includes a big list of features like HDR Pro, Beautification, 92MP Super Resolution, Children mode, Slow motion, etc. The video recording features have a 4K resolution at 24fps. The other video resolution is 1080p and 720p at 30 fps.
The front camera has an 8MP sensor with an 84-degree field of view. The PixelMaster 3.0 features available with the front camera too. The low light images are pretty good than expected.
The battery is a good thing in Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL. It has a capacity of 4600mAh. The Quick Charge 3.0 support helps this big battery to fill 60% in 45 minutes. The tests on the battery show nearly 2 days with casual use. On continuous heavy use, it powers the device nearly 5-8 hours. The heavy use here means the combined use of 4G internet, playing games, browsing, playing videos, etc. at the same time or in the background.
The price of Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL is about 700 Euros or 50000 Indian Rupees or 750 US Dollars. The price is the only issue. The device specifications are above mid-level. The CPU and the Display are the two main aspects that are not allowing us to list this smartphone under the high-end category. The cameras, RAM, Battery and other features are good and give us a feel of high-end.
Coming to the user point of view, the screen size plays a major role in the day to day use. A 6.8-inch screen is not for everyone. It is only for those who need big screen smartphone. At the same time, for those who need a tablet can check Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL, which has the tablet size, but a smartphone.

Namibia truly matches most of the African natural beauties in just one single country. It’s a land of abundant wildlife, extravagant colonial architecture and incredible landscapes. This country hosts the Namib, the oldest desert in the world, with its towering red and orange dunes dropping down to the wind-lashed coastline. Here you get also the second largest canyon in the world, never ending lichen-encrusted gravel plains and magnificent wetlands. A country that lives up to expectations. No wonder why Namibia is among the photographers’ favorite destinations.
