Unlike shared or VPS hosting, dedicated hosting makes your website the lone tenant on a server. To extend the housing metaphor, having a dedicated server is like owning your own home. The means that your website taps the server's full power, and pays for the privilege. If you're looking for a high-powered site—an online mansion for your business—dedicated hosting is the way to go. That said, many dedicated web hosting services task you with handling backend, technical issues, much as homeowners have manage maintenance that renters generally leave to their landlords.
BigCommerce is a bit different from our other hosting plans in that it's a SaaS (software-as-a-service) provider instead of an IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) provider. In other words, rather than renting space on a virtual machine where you setup and configure your own site, BigCommerce provides you with an app you login to that creates and online store.

Brilliant all the way around.
Regarding business hosting, Cloudways is also able to handle business class web servers and even announced today staging capabilities that business, publishing, agencies and more app critical firms require for performance and testing. Support chat is also a big plus for wpengine who also has staging and good backup capabilities. Support response time is critical for business sites and the pricing is typically 3x per instance higher plus companies should always retain a specialists even with managed hosting partners.

"Blind respect" are you serious right now??
Look, I'm not saying America is perfect dude, because it certainly isn't. But please tell me... What country is??
The fact of the matter is. There is just some shit you shouldn't do, whether you have the "freedom" to do so or not. I am well aware the flag (any flag) is just "a piece of cloth" I'm not saying respect "cloth" I'm saying you should respect what it represent.
Just show respect, damn, its common curtesy. And it's funny, the people who are saying it's just a piece of cloth, I guarantee if it were a "gay" flag somebody burned or pissed on etc.. you'd be calling them homophobic.. Why? It's just cloth Double standard, much? Or better yet, if Donald Trump did it haha boy... LOOK OUT!!

Another day, and another jobs boost for Longford town with discount chain €urogiant announcing plans to create around 15 new jobs at its new store at the N4 Axis Centre.
The Leader can exclusively reveal work on the new 9,000 sq ft premises is already underway ahead of its official opening on September 28.
Project Manager Paul Kelly said the decision to set up on the outskirts of Longford town was largely due to the N4 Axis centre’s ever increasing footfall.
“That was definitely one reason,” he said. “Another was the size of the store. Most of our stores are in or around 2,000 sq ft, but in the last two years or so we have been going into bigger stores so this fits perfectly with that.”
The store itself, which is presently undergoing extensive refitting, is made up of two adjacent units beside car parts and bike retailer Halford’s.
Mr Kelly admitted the firm had looked at other locations in and around the town, but in the end opted for the N4 Axis Centre.
Widely regarded as being one of Ireland’s largest value retailers, €urogiant also boasts a sister store along Longford town’s Main Street under its €uro2 brand.
“We have a shop already in Longford, but this (new superstore) will be far enough away that it won’t affect things,” he said.
News of €urogiant’s planned expansion comes hot on the heels of fellow retail chains, Iceland and Shaws announcing their own intentions to open stores in Longford.

The GridOptimal Buildings Initiative
Paper / October 26, 2021 / Building Innovation
The role of buildings, renewable energy, and energy storage in the utility industry is changing. New near-term solutions are needed to address today’s challenges and capitalize on opportunities for market transformation. New Buildings Institute, in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is leading a national coalition committed to better integrating buildings into utility grid management strategies.
This project, called the GridOptimal® Buildings Initiative, has developed new metrics by which building features and operating characteristics that support more effective grid operation can be measured and quantified. Learn more in our summary blog and detailed white paper. These metrics are at the core of the new GridOptimal Buildings Pilot LEED credit.
This will support the least-cost decarbonization of the grid through better integration of both distributed energy resources (DER) and utility-scale wind and solar energy. The animated graphic below shows how the GridOptimal Buildings Initiative can play an important role in catalyzing the transformation of buildings and the grid.
By creating a standardized set of metrics that define a building’s contribution to the relevant utility grid scale—the building’s operational performance as a grid asset—many doors open. Utilities may incentivize grid-sensitive design. Government agencies may include the metrics in their procurement requirements or in their climate policies. Designers and building owners can consider these impacts in projects in sensible, straightforward ways. Building codes and standards can encourage and require the adoption of these solutions. Together, these forces will encourage market actors to develop new solutions for current and emerging utility grid challenges.
We are currently accepting pilot projects. If you are interested in participating as a partner or as a pilot project, please contact Alexi Miller.
Building occupants expect reliable, high-quality electricity on demand, regardless of what occurs behind the meter to meet that demand. For more than a century, the power grid has relied on one-way energy flows from large, centralized power plants, usually powered by fossil fuels. Today, new policies, such as carbon emissions reduction targets and new technology (including vastly cheaper renewable energy and energy storage) are forcing grid operators to seek a new paradigm. There has been, and will continue to be, huge distributed energy resouce (DER) growth in neighborhoods around the country. Bridging the gap between yesterday’s centralized, fossil-powered grid and tomorrow’s DER-rich, low-carbon grid will require new thinking and new strategies.
Across North America, there are no metrics in wide use today that define building-level grid citizenship or consistently rate the quality of building-grid interactions. Current thinking on the topic is fragmented and different players are using different language to discuss the topic from a variety of perspectives.
NBI and the USGBC have developed a collaborative and inclusive process to create standards and tools to meet the new challenges of supporting a low carbon grid. The initiative aims to provide standards, tools, and guidance to improve building-grid interactions in the built environment by empowering owners, architects, and engineers with dedicated metrics, strategies, and pilot projects. The initiative builds on NBI’s proven leadership on this issue, and on the market reach of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system to develop and deploy these new metrics across the market.
GridOptimal metrics and the strategies underlying this work will play a major role in bridging the gap in knowledge, understanding, and priorities between the two sides of the grid: operators and consumers. The initiative will support carbon emissions reduction policy goals while ensuring that buildings enhance the affordability, reliability, and safety of the grid today and in the future.
Current focus areas for GridOptimal include advancing grid optimization utility and LEED programs, supporting emerging technology field validations for flexible load management, providing more market-oriented guidance, driving code and policy advancement, and identifying and addressing gaps and barriers in industry tools and practices.
These easy-to-understand fact sheets provide key context and recommend selected high-impact building design and operations strategies for a variety of building types and U.S. regions.
|Optimizing Building Grid Integration in Building Types
|Optimizing Building Grid Integration in U.S. Regions
|Southwest United States
|Northwest United States
|Texas and the Southern Great Plains
|Single Family Homes
|Northern Great Plains
|Midwest and Mid-Atlantic
|Northeast United States
|Southeast United States
Project teams can now receive up to three points for improving building-grid optimization in the LEED-BD&C v4 and v4.1 rating systems. GridOptimal metrics are used to define project performance and award points. LEED project teams use the free GridOptimal Pilot ACP calculator to demonstrate performance, but other project teams will likely also find the tool’s analysis and chart capabilities useful.
This spreadsheet enables designers, building owners, consultants, and others to quantify a building’s operational performance as a grid asset by calculating the building’s GridOptimal metric scores, including estimates of demand flexibility. Users can input information including their building’s location and load shape and will see GridOptimal metric scores. Automated graphs showing building peak demand shapes, grid load shapes, and grid carbon emissions are also available.
NBI built on a large body of GridOptimal research and pilot projects to build an interactive tool that allows users to compare the impacts of a variety of energy efficiency and demand flexibility strategies across a wide range of U.S. climate/grid zones and building types.
This memo recommends specific steps and options for utility programs seeking to improve existing energy efficiency and demand response programs and proposes alternate program frameworks for consideration.

REVIEW: Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select STORM & ULTRON
A Mutant Goddess And A Killer Robot...
To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with Collectibles Insurance, the official insurance company of the Figures.com network. Say "Figures.com" to get 5% off your first term premiums.
To buy action figures, take a look at BigBadToyStore.com, AlterEgoComics.com, Toynk.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, and MonkeyDepot.com.
Diamond Select Toys has lots of popular product lines with properties ranging from Ghostbusters to Star Trek, Knight Rider, Star Wars, and many more. One of the longest running and continually impressive is the Marvel Select lineup, bringing characters from the comics and films to life in a high quality 7 inch scale. Known for its figures as well as its display bases and substantial packaging, the series continues to expand all the time with great new figures, and today we’re going to look at two of the latest releases, X-Men’s Storm and the villainous Ultron!
Marvel Select figures are always easy to spot on store shelves, mostly because they take up an awful lot of room! Sized to hold everything from a standard humanoid figure up through a bulky character like a Hulk or Abomination, the display-worthy Select packaging features a huge plastic tray holding the contents attached to a wraparound cardboard card. You can see pretty much all of the components (figure, display base/backdrop, etc.), and there’s a ton of art and graphics. The front of the cardboard wraparound has the individual character’s name and design (“X” logo for Storm, Ultron’s faceplate), and there are images from the comics behind the figure and on the side of the package. The back panel of each Marvel Select package has a beauty photo of the figure, a short bio, a classic comic book cover, and photos of other available figures. While I open all of my toys, I can see how MIB/MOC collectors could show off and enjoy these.
While there have been dozens of figures already released in the Marvel Select line, there’s no shortage of cool characters left to immortalize in plastic from the comics. Joining other previous X-Men characters with parts of the Danger Room is Storm, born Ororo Munroe. An immensely powerful mutant with the powers of flight and control over weather, Storm first joined the X-Men in 1975’s Giant-Size X-Men #1. She has appeared in “X” stories ever since, and has been featured in most other media spinoffs like cartoons and films. The Marvel Select figure captures Storm in her classic, first appearance outfit. About as far from the mutant’s heroism as you can get is the other new figure, longtime Avengers enemy Ultron. Originally built by Hank Pym to be a helpful android assistant, Ultron later gained independent sentience and determined that humanity and the Earth must be conquered. Though it’s suffered countless defeats, the machine comes back time after time with new schemes and upgraded abilities, and it will gain worldwide popularity with the upcoming film The Avengers: Age of Ultron.
While they couldn’t be more different, both Storm and Ultron figures show off the quality of the Marvel Select line sculpts. On the one hand you’ve got the mutant weather controller with her slim physique, skintight outfit, huge cape, and lifelike head sculpt, and on the other is the metallic menace with a robotic musculature, armored and segmented body, and striking head with its leering faceplate. Storm’s costume is nicely detailed with the swimsuit-like sections, cut outs at her thighs, attaching ring on her chest, and of course her groovy headdress and bracelets. Ororo’s massive cape has tons of sculpted creases and flowing lines along with the large gem at the neck, and the figure has a beautifully serene face sculpt and detailed long hair. The killer robot, meanwhile, at first glance looks like a silver coated bodybuilder with a surprising amount of lifelike muscles in his humanoid appearance. Look closer to see the robotic elements like the thickly armored torso, collar, and thighs, the deeply cut lines outlining the segments of its body, and the shapes of its joints like the knees and ankles. Of course, everything on Ultron serves to draw the eye to its excellent head sculpt capturing the fearsome entity’s trademark smiling/menacing open-mouthed leer, its highly pointed eye slits, antennae-like “ears,” and more. There are even cool sculpted details on the bottom of Ultron’s feet!
The two figures also feature very different looks from their paint and colorations. Ultron is all over metallic silver, silver, and more silver. There are some slight shadings here and there, and all of the deeply carved lines and trenches are filled in with matte black. The interior of Ultron’s eye and mouth parts are bright red... and that’s it. It’s a neat monochrome look, and it totally works for the evil robot. Storm, meanwhile, has some nice contrasts with an inky black on her costume and cape, a deep chocolate shade for her skin tone, and the bright white of her hair and eyes. She also has nice details like the metallic gold on her bracelets, the hem of her cape, and the ring in her costume. The gem at Storm’s chest is metallic red, and her lips and fingernails are painted pink. The costume details and colors are spot on to the character’s classic appearance in the X-Men comic books.
While Marvel Select figures are presented in the same scale and display well together, they don’t always share the same degree of articulation. However, these two have a good amount of joints for posing and positioning, with the gold star going to Ultron. Storm has a ball-jointed neck, ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, wrists, ball-jointed hips, double-jointed knees, and ball-jointed ankles. While that sounds pretty darn good, I did have some difficulty posing the figure due to her enormous cape, the slightly odd configuration of the hips, and the figure’s high heels. Thankfully she comes with a display stand which really helps. Ultron is loaded with articulation: ball-jointed neck that tilts all the way back, ball-jointed shoulders, biceps, ball-jointed elbows, wrists, torso, waist, ball-jointed hips, thighs, double-jointed knees, and triple-jointed ankles (rotate, rocker, hinge). The robot can achieve a nice range of poses, hindered only by some loose hip joints.
In addition to the previously display stand for Storm, both figures come with additional display accessories. Storm adds to the previously released X-Men figures with sections of the Danger Room, the mutant team’s training center. Ororo’s section is a corner of the room with two tall walls and a square floor, each of which is detailed with a myriad of sections at different elevations, square and rectangular panels, etc. The “room” is colored in the traditional palette of green, blue, silver, and black, and will match those that came with the other figures. Also included are two “obstacles” that plug into one of the walls: a flame blast and an arm-mounted buzz saw!
Ultron comes with a very cool, highly detailed display base capturing the remains of his latest battle against the Avengers. There’s a broken wall with bricks spilling forth, debris covering a muddy battlefield, smashed arrows used by Hawkeye, and even the battered forms of Ant-Man and Wasp! There are two posts in the base that you can plug into Ultron’s feet, or you can just stand him wherever you like; thanks to his solid build and excellent articulation he’s very poseable.
Both Ultron and Storm are available now from Diamond Select Toys, and can only be found in specialty stores like your local comic book store. Their MSRP of $24.99 gets you the display-worthy packaging, high quality figures, and the intricate display elements. There’s also a Storm variant you can hunt down; at one in cases of six the figure feature’s Ororo’s shorter hair style. Fans of these characters should absolutely check these out, especially if you’ve already been collecting the Select X-Men figures or other Avengers to thrown against Ultron. With upcoming films featuring both of these characters (X-Men: Days of Future Past and The Avengers: Age of Ultron), they’re going to be very popular.

In episode 21, we interviewed Juan Pablo Carbajal, an Argentinian physicist currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Urban Water Management at the ETH domain in Switzerland. We had a great discussion about GNU Octave and how it can help scientists. We compared its core functions and its expandability through packages to its commercial equivalent Matlab and its toolboxes. An interesting feature of GNU Octave that we explored with Juan is the possibility to migrate code from Matlab directly to GNU Octave and to a certain point maintain code compatible with both. Juan shared with us that since the introduction of an integrated GUI in 2015, he noticed a continuous growth in popularity for the project. We then discussed about a few of the reasons why companies are interested by GNU Octave and why universities should teach using free/libre software. Before asking our usual quick questions, Juan talked with us about the reasons why FLOSS is important for science and the importance of exposing non-FLOSS users to the benefits of FLOSS.

“The introduction of the Ram ProMaster EV represents another major milestone on our electrification journey as we continue to evolve without sacrificing capability,” Ram brand CEO Tim Kuniskis said. “Ram’s first available electric vehicle is a game-changer, offering commercial customers, large and small, the ultimate van in zero-emissions performance, commercial capability and advanced technology.”
Multiple Configurations to Meet Fleet Customers' Needs
The new Ram ProMaster EV will be available in two configurations. Those include the delivery model and two cargo models. The delivery model is available for order now, and the non-delivery/cargo model will be available at a later date.
Eventually available in five configurations, the ProMaster EV will include two roof heights, two cargo lengths, and two body styles. Cargo-handling capability is the number one consideration for van buyers. The van offers 524 cu. ft. of cargo space.
The Ram ProMaster EV cargo model will be available in two sizes, including a 12-ft. cargo length and an extended 13-ft. cargo length, both with 159-in. wheelbases.
The van includes standard features such as interior cargo height of 86 in., low load-floor height, cargo width between wheel wells, and maximum cargo width.
The Ram ProMaster EV cargo van features up to 3,020 lbs. of payload while the delivery configuration offers 2,030 lbs. of payload. A 200-kW electric drive module EDM delivers 268 hp, 302 lb.-ft. of torque and standard front-wheel-drive capability.
In the delivery configuration, the van has a rear roll-up door to satisfy the cargo loading and unloading required for vocational and delivery customers alike. The roll-up door is constructed with anodized aluminum for weight optimization and durability to meet high-duty cycles.
A pocket door is also standard on the Ram ProMaster EV delivery vehicle to ease ingress and egress while making deliveries.
Upfitting the Ram ProMaster EV
The van features a standard upfitter electrical connector and an integrated cab configuration for easy upfitter/conversion solutions.
Virtually all primary vehicle systems are packaged forward of the cargo area.
The new Ram ProMaster EV can be upfitted for virtually any fleet need because of a unique front-drive system, body-integral construction and the multiple configurations offered.
According to Stellantis, the van features the most vertically oriented sidewalls in the cargo van category at nearly 90 degrees in relation to the cargo compartment floor, combined with a cargo width of 75.6 in.
Powering the Ram ProMaster EV
The battery-electric van offers a standard 110-kWh battery pack with a targeted range of up to 162 miles in city driving.
Built on the ProMaster architecture but designed specifically for electrification, the Ram ProMaster EV features a unibody design that incorporates the battery pack efficiently.
The ProMaster EV’s battery is positioned under the floor in the center of the vehicle, which maintains a flat floor while cargo volume is unchanged from ICE vehicles to ease the transition to the EV model.
Ram ProMaster EV features Level 3 DC fast charging options of 50kW, 85kW, 125 kW, and 150 kW.
A wall box Level 2 charger Level 2 with up to 11 kW is available. The charge port illuminates while the vehicle is charging with an audible sound alert to confirm the connection.
Additional features include:
- Charging Station Locator: provides the user with the ability to locate an EV charging station when a low level of energy is reached
- EV Dynamic Trip Prediction: increases driver peace of mind by providing the projected and actual modeled discharge profile, which indicates the percentage of the battery that has been discharged relative to the overall capacity of the battery.
Tech and Driver Assist Features Designed with Driver Safety in Mind
The Ram ProMaster EV delivery model’s safety and security feature list continues to grow and now offers front and rear Park Sense with full stop, a white noise backup alarm, and a “normal” backup alarm.
The Ram ProMaster EV includes the most standard safety and security features ever offered on the Ram brand's full-size commercial van, including:
- Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning.
- Crosswind Assist.
- Rear backup camera with dynamic gridlines.
- Post-collision braking.
- Drowsiness Detection.
- Traffic sign information.
Fleet-friendly technology includes Ram Telematics, which enables vehicle location and driving insights to help reduce fuel costs, improves route efficiency, and promotes safer driving behaviors.
Optional safety and security features include Intelligent Speed Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Active Drive Assist system, front parking sensors, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
The Ram ProMaster EV will feature Secure Park, a feature that prevents the vehicle from being shifted out of park unless a key is present.
A front-end design features standard LED headlights and fog lights with improved durability. The standard LED headlights offer 70% more Lumens (50% more range) versus the previous-generation gas-powered Ram ProMaster.
The most requested improvement requested by large-van customers is better visibility around the vehicle. The van features a standard high-resolution backup camera with dynamic grid lines.
The available digital rearview mirror displays video in real time in all driving modes from a rear-facing camera and can be turned off to revert to a traditional reflective mirror. It's available on all ProMaster models and provides an unobstructed rear view.
An additional safety and security feature available on the Ram ProMaster is 360-degree Surround View camera. The system offers 360-degree, bird’s-eye views of the vehicle and its surroundings, enhanced by dynamic grid lines displayed on a 10.1-in. digital touchscreen.
Active Driving Assist provides Level 2 automated driving capability and affirms the company's march toward an autonomous future. The Ram ProMaster EV is available with Active Driving Assist for hands-on-wheel and eyes-on-road automated driving using lane centering with adaptive cruise control. The system uses multiple sensors, including radars and cameras, to dictate appropriate roads for the technology.
Uconnect 5 with a standard 10.1-in. touchscreen features split-screen capability and content from SiriusXM with 360L. The Uconnect 5 system is five times faster than the system it replaces, featuring Wi-Fi capability and up to five individual user profiles.
The Uconnect 5 system offers more connected services and features for ease of use. Among those are over-the-air (OTA) map updates at the push of a button for Uconnect NAV system.
Ram Telematics also offers real-time vehicle diagnostics and performance data. The standard Telematics Module enables nearly 50 functions on ProMaster, including:
- Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) updates.
- 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Apps Over the Air (AOTA).
Moving Ahead with Stellantis' Dare Foward 2030 Plan
The all-new ProMaster EV is part of Ram’s contribution to Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan to deliver innovative, clean, safe and affordable mobility solutions, the automaker noted in a news release.
As part of Dare Forward 2030, Stellantis is investing more than $32 billion through 2025 in electrification and software to deliver battery-electric vehicles that meet customer demands.

Theresa May criticises 'vague' promise to publish response to 2017 Hillsborough report in spring
The government expects to publish its response to the Hillsborough report "in the course of this spring", a Home Office minister said amid strong cross-party calls to act.
Wednesday 1 February 2023 18:01, UK
Theresa May has criticised the government's "vague" promise to publish a response to the 2017 Hillsborough report in spring as pressure grows on the government to act.
The Tory MP was prime minister when the bishop of Liverpool published recommendations five years ago - aimed at "ensuring the pain and suffering of the Hillsborough families is not repeated".
Ninety-seven football fans died as a result of a crush at an FA Cup semi-final match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989, with police failures covered up in the aftermath.
An official police apology was published on Tuesday, however the lack of response from the government has been heavily criticised by the report's author, families of victims, and politicians.
During a debate on the issue on Wednesday, the policing minister Chris Philp said that a government response is expected to be published in spring.
But Mrs May responded: "Can I say first to my right honourable friend, saying vaguely that the government's response will be available this spring, I do not think is good enough. Five years on, the government must publish its response."
The Maidenhead MP added that while the apology from the police is welcome, "frankly, it would have been far better for them to have done their job properly on that fateful April day, 34 years ago".
She pressed Mr Philp on the introduction of an independent public advocate, whose role would be to help the bereaved in the event of major future tragedies.
Hillsborough campaigners say this would help build trust in the legal system and Mrs May promised the introduction of one in her 2017 manifesto.
The former Conservative minister Kevin Foster also raised this issue as he criticised the government's delayed response.
"The Hillsborough disaster was a tragedy. The lies, smears and cover-ups that followed were an absolute disgrace ... so the extended delay in getting this response out just makes it even worse," he said.
"Would he at least today commit to the principle of the independent public advocate to ensure that in future families would be on a level playing field?"
Mr Philp refused to commit in principle but pointed to a consultation on the measure which he said is "under active consideration at the moment".
"It is for the Ministry of Justice to publicly respond," he added.
Suella Braverman branded 'an absolute disgrace'
The debate was held in response to an urgent question from Ian Byrne, the Labour MP for West Derby in Liverpool, who asked when the Home Office will set out its response.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman was branded an "absolute disgrace" for not attending the debate after being sat in the chamber for Prime Minister's Questions earlier.
On Tuesday she said the government had not yet responded to the report because of active criminal proceedings relating to the tragedy, but her Labour counterpart Yvette Cooper said "those finished 18 months ago and the work could have taken place even while those proceedings were ongoing".
Ms Cooper said: "Where is she [Suella Braverman] today, because previous home secretaries have shown the respect to the families and to the appalling ways in which they have been wronged by being here to respond and it is a devastating failure of responsibility and respect to them not to be here to respond".
Calls for Hillsborough Law
An inquest jury ruled in 2016 that the Hillsborough victims were unlawfully killed amid a number of police errors.
The government has long faced calls to implement a "Hillsborough Law" which campaigners say would ensure fairer treatment of bereaved families after major tragedies.
In its response to the report on Tuesday, The National Police Chief Council (NPCC) committed to a new "duty of candour" but campaigners want this to be legally binding.
Mr Byrne, who was in attendance at the game in 1989 and witnessed Liverpool fans being crushed to death, said recommendations from the police "did not go anywhere near far enough to change the culture we came up against in our quest for justice".
"So I ask the minister, will this government do the right thing for future generations of our nation and implement a Hillsborough Law, containing Bishop Jones's recommendations with immediate effect?"
Mr Philp said it is "imperative" that lessons are learned from the disaster and he is "grateful" for the report, but he did not commit to any new law.
"The government is fully committed to engaging with the Hillsborough families prior to the publication of the government's formal response," he said.
"And I can also say that in particular since arriving in the Home Office two or three months ago, I have asked for this work to be sped up and we are expecting it to come out in the course of this spring."

Truck maker Volvo has despatched the first lot of 150 trucks to South Korea kick-starting its exports to South-East Asia.
"We hope to continue to export to other countries as well," the Volvo India Managing Director, Mr Ulf Nordqvist, told presspersons on Thursday. Last year, Mr Nordqivst had told Business Line that India has been selected as Volvo's fourth global export hub. Sweden, Belgium and Botswana are the other three export hubs for Volvo.
Mr Nordqvist said these FM12 trucks have been exported to Volvo's Korean operations and there are no financial transactions between the Indian and the Korean entities.
In Korea, Volvo has around 10 per cent market share and sells about 1,000 trucks. The trucks have been customised to the needs of the Korean customers, Mr Nordqvist said.
"It is cost effective for Volvo to export from India which will increase the competitiveness of its products in the world market," he said. Volvo already exports buses to Bangladesh and a few trucks to Sri Lanka.
He said Volvo has taken advantage of the free trade agreement between India and other countries. It sources the components from other countries and uses India as a hub for exports. Volvo already exports auto components to other countries. In 2004, it exported about 26 million euro (about Rs 148 crore) worth of auto components and expected to export 40 million euro (about Rs 228 crore) worth of components this year.
The trucks being exported to South Korea are for haulage of construction material as well as on highways, reaching up to speeds of over 100 kmph. The Volvo FM12 tipper trucks have features such as I-shift gearbox, a 420-hp Volvo D12 engine, tubeless tyres, air suspension seats and maintenance-free suspension. The I-shift gearbox has the latest shifting system, a 12-speed non-synchromesh range and splitter gearbox with an electronically controlled shifting system. The gear shifting is fully automatic though the driver still has the option of choosing manual gear changes.
Mr Nordqvist said the company has nearly exhausted the Rs 300-crore initial investment it made when it set up the operations in India, in 1998. The company can produce up to 1,000 trucks in a single shift currently and it can ramp it up to 2,000 trucks by adding another shift without any additional investments, he said. In 2003, Volvo posted revenues of around Rs 360 crore compared with Rs 280 crore in 2002. In 2004, Volvo sold around 350 trucks, 300 buses, 200 engines and 350 construction equipment in the domestic market.
Volvo launched two new trucks towards the end of 2003, the FM 12 and FM9, which are part of the new global product portfolio, the group's biggest product overhaul in a decade, created at an investment of over Rs 2,900 crore. The new trucks are built on a new driveline and fitted with a new Volvo Euro III compliant engine.


Vintage Charles Brown "One More For The Road" T-Shirt
Charles Brown, the blues pianist and singer, began playing solo in 1948. And four decades later, Brown was still at it. He released One More For The Road in 1986 on Blue Side Records. One More was his first record of the 80s, his first in eight years after a particularly prolific burst at the end of the previous decade. This vintage Charles Brown shirt, in deadstock condition with a few marks from prolonged storage, features the amazingly bright and cool album cover to One More For The Road.


According to a media statement, Creighton is being recognized for her “collaborative, human-centric practice championing environmental performance, health, and social equity. Through inclusive building design, progressive master planning, and persuasive advocacy, she has redefined human wellbeing as a broad, urgent societal mandate.”
Associate principal in sustainability at Buro Happold, the multi-credentialed architect based in Los Angeles is also a LEED Fellow, WELL Faculty, and Fitwel Ambassador. Creighton has worked on a range of acclaimed building and sustainability projects, including the Santa Monica City Hall East, the Los Angeles Countywide Sustainability Plan called OurCounty, along with building projects totaling more than 1.3 million m2 (14 million sf), completed or in design, to meet standards including Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), WELL, net-zero energy (NZE), and Living Building Challenge.
Creighton has been active in green building for more than 15 years, serving for six years on the board of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) – Los Angeles. She currently serves on the AIA California Committee on the Environment (COTE) steering committee. Creighton was named a LEED Fellow in 2018 and broke ground as one of the world’s first WELL Accredited Professionals (WELL Aps).
Within Buro Happold, Creighton has led multiple initiatives dealing with companywide sustainability, wellness, and diversity. The Los Angeles office’s workplace received LEED-CI Platinum certification and a Los Angeles Green Business certification, in addition to WELL certification.
“Now, more than ever, a focus on human health and wellbeing needs to be the priority in all aspects of the built environment, requiring early and intimate interaction with communities and occupants to put users’ need first, above all else,” said Creighton.
“In her work, Heidi Creighton has tirelessly advanced social justice as a critical factor in fostering human wellbeing,” said Alice Kimm, FAIA, principal with John Friedman Alice Kimm Architects, Los Angeles, and Creighton’s sponsor for elevation. “She has developed standards that benefit all of us through ongoing experimentation with new technology, and she has shown us the undeniable connection between equity, creativity, and productivity.”

it feels very appropriate for the cold weather and approaching new year…
having a real christmas tree is nice, but not everyone has the time or resources to go out and get one and haul it home. luckily, there are plenty of DIY options out there for alternative “christmas trees” that look just as pretty and would be a really fun craft project that you can still do in time for christmas!
i love the idea of finding branches lying around outside and using them to create a very natural, earthy looking tree like this one, with some paper snowflakes for a delicate touch.
another really cool idea…suspend the branch over a table with some string and hang ornaments from it.
this awesome tree is a branch from outside, painted white and decorated with garlands and various found items like vintage potholders, crocheted doilies, cotton spools, buttons and thrift store figurines.
a neat idea, if you’re willing to nail a bunch of branches to your wall…
…or a bunch of items in the shape of a Christmas tree.
i think this might be the most creative idea of them all!
last but not least…a printable tree that you can actually download, here!
good morning everyone! if you are participating in our holiday craft swap, it’s about time to get your crafts in the mail if you haven’t already! the photos are starting to go up on our flickr page, and i’m so impressed with what i’ve seen so far…
that last picture is adorable! keep an eye on our flickr page as more photos come in!
One EskimO is a london band, who have actually been around for a few years, but are just getting noticed here in the US thanks to the single “kandi” off their debut album! what’s interesting though, is that the band has teamed up with warner premiere to create a “visual album” consisting of ten videos in a series called “the adventures of One eskimO.” they are available for download on itunes.
if the animation looks familiar, its because the videos are produced by passion pictures, which also animated the gorillaz music videos. each band member in One eskimO takes on a character — the singer is the eskimo, the drummer is a giraffe, the guitar player is a penguin and the bass player is a monkey. i’m sorry, but that penguin is so cute! check out a chapter in the animated series below, for the song “kandi.” what do you think about the idea of making “visual albums?”
for more on One eskimO check out their myspace page!
good morning! happy tunesday…just wanted to remind you all to send me your picks for the best albums and songs of the year! i’m making a list and i’ll share the results with you next week along with a playlist of your choices.
leave your picks in comments section or send them to firstname.lastname@example.org!
as i’m nearing the end of on the road i was inspired to take a look at the fashion of the beat generation. beatniks were characterized by their rebellious spirit and anti-establishment, anti-materialistic philosophy, and they expressed this through stark and simple fashion. jack kerouac and his crew wore old, ripped jeans and t-shirts because they didn’t care how they looked, while others wore head-to-toe black with berets or glasses.
what else about the beat generation’s style and culture is still resonant with you today?
share your thoughts in the comments section! also for those of you reading on the road, try and finish by january 4th if you can, and check the blog for a final post about the book!

UK Budget 2020: A two-minute budget round-up
In this two-minute read, we look at what today’s budget announcements mean for the property sector.
The new Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced his budget this afternoon. But the main news relating to property came more than five hours before when the Bank of England (BoE) announced an emergency cut in interest rates to bolster the economy in the ongoing fallout of the coronavirus outbreak. The BoE reduced rates from 0.75% to 0.25%, taking borrowing costs back down to the lowest level in history.
This drastic move should promote mortgage lending and make it cheaper and easier to get a mortgage. This could help maintain the positive momentum in the housing market since the election in December. The flip side is it is almost pointless saving money in a bank, which is more than likely what the cut is designed to do. To get people spending and investing, rather than saving.
Back to the Budget
The budget’s key focus was quite rightly trying to protect the people of the UK against the health and financial impact of the Coronavirus with a £30billion fund to fight the disease and its fallout.
Domestic residential landlords: there was very little to get excited about. It contained nothing of note that was directly linked to them or the lettings industry. But there could be an opportunity further down the line thanks to the change below.
Non-resident buyers: The only stamp duty measure is a two per cent surcharge on the purchase of UK investment properties by non-resident overseas buyers. This is set to begin in April 2021 and intends to bring the UK into line with other global property markets.
The consequences of the introduced surcharge are not that clear though. If the tax deters overseas investors, it could reduce competition for domestic landlords who could then invest in providing more homes for a growing number of tenants. However, as suggested by Mark Hayward, chief executive of NAEA Propertymark, since prime central London is unaffordable to most homebuyers anyway, this move will not help those that need it most. The same is likely to happen in other England’s major cities and one of the unintended consequences may be a shortage of rental homes in the long-term.
New homes: A £400m fund will be made available to the eight Metro mayors to help build new homes on brownfield sites, while to help local authorities, interest rates on lending for social housing will be cut by 1%.
Commercial property: Business rates abolished for thousands of small firms for the next year is part of a package of “extraordinary” measures to deal with the economic fallout from the coronavirus. The measure applies to commercial properties with a rateable value of less than £51,000 and could save each business up to £25,000, Rishi Sunak said. Taking into account the severe competition faced from online retailers and the long-lasting campaign for the system to be reformed it is a welcome decision.
Help for the homeless: An appreciated £650m commitment was made to provide more than 6000 places for homeless people and rough sleepers.
The Chancellor announced a freeze on the duties on fuel and alcoholic drinks including cider, whisky and beer. There was also £500m a year assigned to fixing 50 million potholes. So perhaps a smoother journey in the future is something worth raising a glass to?

This is my attempt at the classic sliding puzzle game where you move tiles around to complete the picture. It includes a shuffle option. Click on a tile next to the blank space and it will move into it. When the tiles match the target image on the right, you move on to the next level.
I wrote this to see what I could do with CSS3 and JQuery. The animation of the moving tiles (sliding from one place to another) was all done with CSS3 transitions implemented at runtime through JQuery.

The Kremlin is trying to hold the world community hostage through constant shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which could cause a nuclear catastrophe.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov reports this in an interview "Voice of America".
"The Russians are trying to hold us all hostage through their use of nuclear weapons in the form of "peaceful" nuclear weapons”, – Reznikov said, commenting on the situation around the ZNPP.
According to him, the constant shelling of the nuclear power plant, carried out by Russian infidels, is a provocation and a game on “nuclear nerves”. all over the world.
Reznikov added that now Russia is trying to supply electricity to the Crimea using the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and completely disconnect the station from the territories controlled by Kyiv.

Following his disappearance and subsequent re-emergence in England ahead of Pakistan's fifth One-Day International against South Africa in Dubai, wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider has announced his retirement from international cricket.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have called up Adnan Akmal, younger brother of Kamran and Umar, to replace Haider in their Test squad ahead of the two matches against South Africa.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Hafeez will remain in the United Arab Emirates as a replacement for leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, who was not given clearance to enter the country.
"I have decided it is best for me to retire from international cricket since my family and I are constantly getting threats," Haider told Geo News.
"It is best for me to step down because I can't play in these circumstances. But I would like to continue to play domestic cricket."
Haider flew to England ahead of the final game of the five-match series with South Africa, saying that he was fleeing from match-fixers.
"I was told to cooperate or I would face lot of problems," he said.
"This person approached me while I had gone out of the hotel for dinner. He told me cooperate with us and you can make a lot of money.
"He said, 'If you don't cooperate you will no longer be part of the team and we can make life very difficult for you'."
Three Pakistan players - Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif - remain suspended following allegations that they were involved in spot-fixing during the team's recent tour of England.
Following an International Cricket Council (ICC) board meeting, the PCB were advised to step up their efforts to combat corruption in the game and as recently as the day before the final game in Dubai, the ICC said it was impressed with the measures taken by the PCB.
The ICC has subsequently announced its availability to help both the PCB and the player at this time.
“Clearly this is in the first instance a team matter for Pakistan cricket but the ICC is willing to provide assistance to the PCB and the player," chief executive Haroon Lorgat said in a statement.
“We understand his plight if reports are indeed true, but we can only help if he is willing to engage with us.”

Poteau Mitan (The centre post that stands in the middle of the ceremonial enclosure for Voudoun rituals) is the new Music project by George M (tarot master and ritual drummer).
In 2008 he started the notorious sound project Kristus Kut, creating noisy soundscapes and maniacal performances inspired by voudoo rituals. During the years more and more acoustic shamanic instruments were used and slowly Kristus Kut became an act with two faces. One was the noisy wild maniacal noise act, the other was a more ritual ambient one.
At the same time, George M explored more and more the shamanic approach. To get more in touch with his drums and flute he took them with him on his bicycle rides into nature. This turned out to be the perfect way of learning the soul of the rhythm. It happened more then once that the energy of the gods entered his drumming. Rhythms were born naturely. Trance became a second nature.
This year he started to organise drum meditations at a magical farm in Breda, became the drummer of local full moon rituals and started with total acoustic healing concerts. With this knowledge and experience it became time to separate the ambient side of Kristus Kut from the noisy side. This is the moment Poteau Mitan was born.
Poteau Mitan uses mainly acoustic instruments (or only on most occasions) with a touch of Electronics like a loopstation or delay. With this instrumentation Poteau Mitan creates magical fragile soundscapes that take the listener on a journey into realms of the innerself.

At Fraunhofer ISIT a novel technology has been developed which allows the integration of nearly any material onto planar substrates. It is based on the agglomeration of micron-sized powder (particles) by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Like for the fabrication of ceramics, firstly a mold, in this particular case a silicon substrate with dry etched micromold pattern, is filled with loose powder. However instead of sintering the particles together with high pressure at 800°C to 1400°C, the silicon substrate is subjected to an ALD process at much lower temperatures. Thanks to the outstanding coating capability of ALD the loose particles in the micromolds are fixated to porous 3D structures over the whole mold depth (up to 700 µm) by a layer with a thickness of only 75 nm. These porous 3D structures are shrinkage-free and stable mechanically as well as thermally. Lateral dimensions between 50 µm and several mm can be realized with high precision. The nearly perfect envelopment of each particle by the ALD layer ensures an excellent protection against environmental influences. Substrates with embedded porous 3D structures can be post-processed in a cleanroom using standard processes of IC and MEMS fabrication at up to 400 °C. That opens up a unique range of applications. One of the evaluated ones is the fabrication of integrated permanent micromagnets from NdFeB powder. Strong magnetic fields on small scale are of interest for many MEMS sensors and actuators. The focus at ISIT is currently on magnetically driven vibrational energy harvesters and microscanners. Other promising applications of the novel technology are miniaturized organic-free phosphor converters for solid state lighting (SSL) or the thermal isolation of calorimetric MEMS, like mass flow and gas sensors, from the substrate by evacuated porous 3D structures, which is comparable to conventional super vacuum insulation.

A training programme which induces faster reading improves reading comprehension and fluency in adults with dyslexia according to research in Nature Communications. The training is reported to bring dyslexic readers’ performance up to that of typical readers and leads to the conclusion that processes associated with reading, for example, cognitive processing, are malleable in adulthood.
Dyslexic individuals often possess reading skills that are slower and less accurate than that of their peers. It has been suggested that remedial interventions for reading deficits are less effective into adulthood due to a reduction in brain plasticity after childhood. Zvia Breznitz and colleagues trial a computerized reading acceleration training procedure where 110 university students, 55 of whom were dyslexic, were asked to complete reading task under time constraints. They found that the programme resulted in improved reading skills of both adult dyslexic readers and adult typical readers with the dyslexic readers’ performance being similar to that of typical readers who hadn’t undergone training. This improvement was then retained at six months post training. The authors report that identical training without the crucial time constraints proved ineffective for students.
They suggest that accelerated training helped close the gap between reading abilities in both groups by creating better synchronisation between brain systems that are activated in reading. They note, however, that imaging studies are needed in order to test this theory further. Whether this training would bring similar results for dyslexic children is also yet to be verified.

Really Useful App
on October 7, 2012
Dealing with Type II Diabetes, COPD, morbid obesity and a host of other health conditions is challenging enough, keeping track of all the data is problem unto itself. This app allows me to track the things that are key to what I want to accomplish: tight blood glucose control, weight loss, HEALTH.
I was looking for an app that would allow me to track my carbs and not have to look at the other things I don't need. I also wanted to be able to track my blood glucose and insulin doses in the same app. I searched for a long time, looking thru the free stuff and nada. This app is inexpensive and does everything I want. It's been proven that people who write down everything they eat do better at weight loss, this app allows me to do that. I can also watch trends in my blood glucose and make adjustments accordingly.
Track3 also tracks exercise, which helps with the trends, too. It has great reports, I haven't found any problem finding the food I want to log. This is just an all round, well designed, thought out, planned app. I use it all the time and really love it.
