Let’s not beat around the bush. The Renault Megane GT Turbo is a bred-in-the-bone, dyed-in-the-wool, honest-to-goodness modern day monster. Do not be fooled by its wholesome curves and innocent good looks. When the day is done and the moon is full, the Megane GT Turbo sheds its sheep’s clothing (whether hatch or coupé) and races the streets of the urban jungle.
Like every respectable little monster, the Megane GT Turbo was cooked up in a lab by mad scientists. Enter Renault’s master of Formula 1, Rob White, and engineering swami, Gaspar Gascon. Their terrifying creation owes its inspiration to the Megane RS, which itself redefined the term “hot hatch”. The resulting Megane GT Turbo has a 1,998 cubic centimetre heart of solid aluminium, hosting 4 cylinders and 16 valves of pure, pulse-racing power.
Sporting torque of a blinding 340Nm at 3,500rmps, the Megane GT Turbo can all but disappear between one blink and the next. Good for those iconic, out-the-corner-of-your-eye silver screen flit-byes. Going from 0 to 100km/h in just 7.6 seconds, aiming for a top speed of 240km/h and with a power potential of 162kW, there is little the Megane GT Turbo cannot outrun.
Once a monster like the Megane GT Turbo gets going, it’s hard to find the wherewithal to stop. Which is why our mad scientists fitted it with enormous, heavy duty 320mm ventilated front disc brakes (and another 260mm set at the rear). The ABS comes standard, as does the Electronic Brake Assist, Anti-Slip Regulation and Stability Program. With the added benefits of variable power steering and masterful Macpherson suspension, the Megane GT Turbo won’t lose the plot or come undone before the night is won.
And because owning a monster can be a frightful weight on one’s conscience, Renault has added peace of mind with a reinforced structure and full complement of airbags and features worthy of its five star Euro NCAP crash test-rating.
How brave are you, when all is said and done? Grab your torch and pitchfork, if you dare, and head on down to your dealer for a test drive. But be warned! When the Megane GT Turbo seizes the day, it goes for the throat!


N.E.R.D. is the new generation and N.E.R.D. is coming to your town.
Actually, they've always been here. The hip-hop/rock innovators from Virginia Beach are all the rage in the national media right now. Their disc "In Search Of ..." has received glowing reviews even if sales aren't soaring through the roof yet. The group played David Letterman's show recently. And you'll find them in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine, posing with Randy Quaid, who appears in the video for "Rock Star." "It's hilarious," N.E.R.D.'s Pharrell Williams told the magazine, describing the clip. "Like 'Rushmore' meets 'Porky's'."
Since the N.E.R.D. musicians are Hampton Roads homeboys, local fans don't have to settle for spotting the group on MTV. The trio -- which includes Williams along with Chad Hugo and MC Shay -- are set to perform live May 30 at The NorVa in Norfolk. Tickets haven't gone on sale yet. But they're to be priced $15 advance, $17.50 day of show.
The local music scene has rallied 'round our emerging celebrities. Kristi Michael, DJ with WROX-FM (96.1), interviewed one of the boys on the air last week. And Planet Music hosted a N.E.R.D. party at which the celebrated musicians/producers mixed and mingled and signed autographs. According to informal reports, a crowd of several hundred fans turned out.
While N.E.R.D. is an act new to the national music scene, its members aren't unfamiliar with the mechanics of showbiz. Hugo and Williams have produced a string of hip-hop hits under the banner of The Neptunes.
Here's hoping the N.E.R.D. guys successfully make the transition from studio gods to rock stars.
BACK TO THE POINT. Yes, live music fans, Mill Point will be jumping in May. Once again, WKOC-FM (93.7) and WNIS-AM (790) are sponsoring Wednesday-evening concerts at downtown Hampton's Mill Point Park. The schedule, which has a pleasant blues- oriented character, looks like this: Saffire, The Uppity Blues Women, May 1; Corey Harris May 8; Shana Morrison (Van Morrison's daughter) May 22; Sonny Landreth May 29. The May 15 date remains open but will eventually get a concert, promised Donna Agresto-Seavey, promotions director for the radio stations.
Concerts have become a warm-weather tradition at Mill Point. In previous years, acts ranging from Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle to Fuel, Folk Implosion and Tragically Hip have performed there.
"We like the park," Agresto-Seavey said. "We have listeners on that side of the water who we want to reach. And it's a great venue to do things with." Cover for the concerts will run $5- $7.
QUICK CHECKS. It's springtime and new concerts are pouring like April showers. Kittie, that not-so-cute all-girl hard rock band, will perform at The Boathouse April 27. Tickets are $15 in advance ... Usher, Nas, Faith Evans and Mr. Cheeks will perform June 2 at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater. Tickets, $20, $35 and $48.50, go on sale today from Ticketmaster. Gravel-voiced Melissa Etheridge plays the same shed June 13. Tickets -- $79.50, $64.50 and $27.50 -- go on sale 10 a.m. Saturday ... Reggae great Gregory Isaacs will get groovy at The NorVa on May 10. Tickets are $22.50 in advance. And the wonderfully melodic Pete Yorn will play The NorVa May 26 along with Sloan. Advance tickets are $15. Ticketmaster's numbers are 872-8100 or 671-8100. If you like, visit www.ticketmaster.com.


Hayward City Council extends local moratorium on evictions of commercial tenants
HAYWARD, Calif., Sept. 25, 2020—The Hayward City Council has voted to extend by four months until Jan. 31, 2021, an emergency city moratorium that bars evictions of commercial tenants for nonpayment of rent due to COVID-19.
The Council action, which took place Tuesday, amends a broader city moratorium that was scheduled to end on Sept. 30 and that prohibited evictions of both residential and commercial tenants, as well as homeowners, in which COVID-19 was a factor in failure to make rent or mortgage loan payments.
The amended legislation approved by the Hayward Council on Tuesday extends until Jan. 31 the city’s eviction protections for commercial tenants only. A new state law enacted on Aug. 31, called the Tenant, Homeowner and Small Landlord Relief and Stabilization Act, put in place a new statewide moratorium on residential evictions, also until Jan. 31, 2021. At the same time, the state measure precluded Hayward and other local governments from extending local moratoria on residential evictions beyond already enacted expiration dates.
The extension of the city moratorium on commercial evictions responds to the double bind faced by small businesses during the pandemic in which they’ve experienced a complete collapse of revenue followed by a delayed, halting and uncertain recovery, while fixed costs such as rent, insurance, healthcare, financing and taxes have largely remained unchanged.
Nothing in the city ordinance relieves commercial tenants of an obligation to pay rent, and unpaid back rent still accumulates. Rather, it bars evictions while the moratorium is in place and during a 180-day repayment period following the moratorium’s expiration.

Brown, Kohlmeier receive $175K from National Endowment for the Humanities
Steven Brown, professor of political science, and Jada Kohlmeier, professor of secondary social studies education, have been awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities, or NEH, grant of $175,000 for Citizens Fighting for Civil Rights: The Places, Faces, and Cases that Changed a Nation.
The award is to fund a two-week summer institute for 25 high school civics teachers. The institute will focus on civil rights and legal history and examine four landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases from Alabama that will address the following two questions: "What factors led to the Supreme Court’s expansion of civil rights and liberties in these cases?" and "Why are these decisions still important to all Americans today?"
Citizens Fighting for Civil Rights is a product of a collaborative effort between Brown and Kohlmeier, and the institute is applying an interdisciplinary approach—political science and teacher education—to the study of places, people and events which led to the momentous transformations in the American political and social landscape.
“These challenging times underscore how important the humanities are to making American culture and world history relatable across generations,” Jon Parrish Peede, NEH chairman, said. “NEH is proud to award hundreds of grants to keep our nation’s scholars, students, teachers and citizens moving forward in pursuit of new knowledge and understanding.”
The NEH announced $30 million in grants for 238 humanities projects across the country. This round of funding, NEH’s last for fiscal year 2020, will support vital research, education, preservation and public programs in the humanities. These peer-reviewed grants were awarded in addition to $50 million in annual operating support provided to the national network of state and jurisdictional humanities councils.

Tararam’s workshops are an energetic and uplifting experience for both the body and the soul!
They combine the various performance skills of the group including body drumming and the use of everyday objects such as brooms, barrels and chairs to produce different sounds. Inspired by the multiculturalism that exists in Israel, Tararam incorporates various cultural and ethnic influences, producing a powerful global rhythm that connects all human beings.
The workshop begins with a short impressive presentation by the artist that captivates and energizes the participants, igniting their desire to play and drum together. The workshop aims to train the participants with new skills, enhance their creativity and capability to concentrate, communicate and improvise all the while challenging their inhibitions within the group and improving their coordination and unity.
The workshops can be run both in Hebrew and English, however facilitators of other languages can be incorporated according to the specific needs of the group.

Aerith's Voice Actress in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Is Just as Excited as Us About the Character
Aerith was stunning in the latest trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the character's voice actress, Briana White, couldn't contain her excitement.
Earlier today, Square Enix revealed a lengthy new trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The trailer gave fans their first look at characters from Shinra as well as some of the in-game summons. Those that have played Final Fantasy 7 before know that the trailer also contained some key scenes from earlier parts of the game that involved the Honey Bee Inn scene with Aerith, Cloud, Tifa, and Don Corneo. Aerith’s voice actress, Briana White, released her reaction to seeing the new trailer.
White’s portfolio mostly consists of conventional acting roles, with Final Fantasy 7 Remake being one of her first major video game roles. Despite this being her first major voice acting role, White’s clearly been a fan of games as she leads a popular Twitch and YouTube channel called Strange Rebel Gaming where she plays a number of titles and interacts with viewers. In her latest reaction video, White watches the Tokyo Game Show trailer of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and seems just as excited as all of us to see the character reimagined.
Square Enix faced some criticism after announcing the main cast of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Mostly due to the fact that Cody Christian would be replacing Steve Burton as the voice actor for Cloud. Aerith’s voice actress has changed a number of times over the years and this will be White’s first time voicing the iconic heroine.
In the past, Aerith was voiced by Mandy Moore in Kingdom Hearts, but was later replaced by Mena Suvari in Kingdom Hearts 2 and Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children. At the release of Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core Andrea Bowen would take on the role and would be used again in multiple titles including Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Explorers.

Meghan Fleming, 26 years of age, was walking out of the Petsmart store at 2925 Lancaster Dr NE about 4:00 yesterday afternoon when she was approached by a male asking for money. She and (sic) him a five dollar bill and proceeded to her vehicle where her nephew 19 year old Timothy Fleming and her twin two year olds were waiting. Fleming apparently changed her mind about the donation, drove up to him in her car, pulled back the slide on what appeared to be a semi-automatic pistol and demanded her money back. Timothy Fleming demanded the money as well and threatened to take the man's bicycle. The victim, 23 year old Nicholas Gutierrez-Didlot, handed the five dollar bill back.
The victim walked into the store saying he had just been robbed and provided a description. The store was familiar with Meghan and provided police dispatch with her name. Police records showed that Meghan lived in the 4000 block of Beck Av SE. Officers responded to Petsmart, as well as to the Beck Av. address.
Approximately 20 minutes later, Meghan drove up to her residence where she was taken into custody without incident. The pistol turned out to be a BB gun. Her two twins were turned over to her relatives for care. Timothy Fleming was not in the vehicle when it arrived on Beck. He surrendered at the Turner Police Department at about 6:00 this morning.
Both have been lodged in the Marion County Correctional Facility charged with robbery. "Meghan certainly could have asked for her money back, but that was not the case. She crossed the line when she pointed what looked like a firearm at him and demanded he hand over the money," said Lt. Steve Birr.

A former assistant police commissioner says he was aware of allegations a Queensland millionaire sexually abused boys and flew them to Sydney.
Queensland police were aware of allegations boys held in state care were being flown to Sydney to be abused by a millionaire and a chef in the mid 1970s, a former assistant police commissioner says.
Retired assistant commissioner David Jefferies has told the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse he received information a Queensland millionaire, known as JA, flew boys to Sydney to be abused as part of a pedophile ring.
“This JA was certainly known as a millionaire and had, I believe, a construction business, and we certainly had received information about children actually going to his home,” Mr Jefferies said.
“We were aware that boys in state care and from some institutions had in fact been flown to Sydney.”
Mr Jefferies said he had a hazy recollection a chef was involved in the allegations, but could not speak to whether the man lived in the Sydney suburb of Paddington.
Working for Queensland’s Juvenile Aid Bureau from 1968 to 1989, Mr Jefferies said he investigated allegations four pedophiles were operating in the northern Brisbane suburbs and the Gold Coast in the early 1970s.
One, JA, was a millionaire, and the other was a school teacher known to the commission as JB.
He said four suspects were arrested, but he and his partner were waved off investigating JA and JB and told to hand the case to more experienced officers.
“In the event the only conviction that resulted were against the two suspects that (partner Dugald) McMillan and I dealt with,” Mr Jefferies said.
Earlier this week, retired Salvation Army major Clifford Randall told the commission a boy who absconded from the Alkira home for boys in Queensland said he and his friend had been flown to Sydney by a wealthy Brisbane shop owner and taken to the home of a “top chef” in Paddington.
But Mr Jefferies said he could not categorically say whether the boys in the allegations he investigated came from he Alkira.
The commission is examining the Salvation Army’s response to child sexual abuse at four of its homes.
Also on Wednesday, a former supervisor at the Queensland department of children’s services told the commission some Salvation Army institutions were “fiefdoms unto themselves”, but there was a reluctance within the government to close problem, church-run schools.
Jan Doyle said while there were concerns within the department about the physical state of the Riverview Training farm, it was unlikely to have been aware of a slew of abuse complaints against it.
But had they been aware, there would have been resistance on a political level to remove their licences to care for children.
“We were a government department and we were controlled by a minister, and ministers are very much aware of who they will upset,” Ms Doyle said.
“The churches at the time, in the early 1970s, were very powerful – not just the Salvation Army, the Anglicans, the Catholics, the Baptists, and I don’t think any politician wished to read about themselves on the front page of the daily paper.”
The commission also heard the department was told of an inflexible, excessively punitive and authoritarian approach to child care at another Salvation Army boys home, Alkira in the mid 1970s.

Unsounded is a colour webcomic by Ashley Cope. The thirty page long first chapter was first posted on July 14, 2010. The following month, regular updates of three pages a week began. Month long breaks between chapters are standard, allowing the artist to rebuild a healthy buffer of pages, and generally recover her wits.
The comic follows the adventures of Sette, a foul-mouthed and amoral girl with a tail, and her adult bodyguard, an undead wright named Duane. While traveling through a mountainous wilderness on a mission for Sette's Da, the pair break up an attempted kidnapping, and their adventures take a darker turn from there.

The Historic Trust announces the cancellation of the 57th Annual Vancouver Fireworks Spectacular at Fort Vancouver National Site. Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, the organization wants to be responsible and ensure the safety and health of the community with canceling the event. The Fourth of July celebration brings thousands of people together for one of the region’s largest fireworks shows. Columbia Credit Union has been the presenting sponsor over the past few years.
The Historic Trust partners with the National Park Service and the City of Vancouver to produce the Vancouver’s Fireworks Spectacular. This marks only the second time this event has been canceled. David Pearson, CEO/President of The Historic Trust said, “It is with deep regret we have had to make this decision. This is one of our favorite community events. We look forward to coming together next year for the Independence Day celebration.”
The Historic Trust’s Public Events Manager, Sarah Hannon said, “We know this event is a tradition to members of our community. This was a difficult decision, but the right one.” The Trust and its community partners will look towards planning for the event in 2021.
Steve Kenny, Vancouver native and Columbia Credit Union President and CEO, supports this tough decision, “It’s certainly understandable why our community’s iconic tradition is canceled as we flatten the curve on this pandemic virus.” Adding, “2021’s patriotic gathering will be even more special after this year’s hiatus. For now, by leaning into the figurative fireworks our collective tenacity and the mutual support that our community – and our nation – is displaying, we’ll stop this coronavirus in its tracks. That’s celebration enough. God bless America. Apart, we’re truly in this together.”

It was so reassuring to know that my kids were left in such good hands! Ryan managed my senior cat, Sofi (19) very adeptly, giving her her nightly eye drops and took wonderful care of my dog, Tykie. Communication is definitely his strong suit, as we corresponded a lot beforehand and during my time away. He always asked if there was something he was not sure of. I wish he were not so popular, as I go away frequently and would love to have him again!
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Ryan and Rachel are simply the best. Our nervous girl was having a bladder flareup, and they were able to administer the meds without upsetting her. She was in good spirits and great form when we returned. Highly recommend!
Ryan and his partner were wonderful sitters! We received many lovely photos and updates – they even gave our lovely boy Noodles some grooming! Ryan was fantastic at making sure the vet had access to our cat Fig, and left the house spotless. Would highly recommend Ryan as your next sitter!
Ryan and Rachel were absolutely amazing to have sit for us, and they left the house so clean and spotlessly tidy even the cupboards smelt lemony fresh. Cloud clearly missed them when they left, and the cute photos Rachel sent throughout the stay were amazing. Would have them back any time.

Salaams! February was an incredibly busy month for Poligon, as it was for many of you actively engaging in your communities. Take a look at what we've been up to and what's in store for March!
March 18th: Townhall dialogue series
Details: 6:30 – 9:30pm in Washington, D.C.
Poligon will be joining professional organizers to teach the basics of channeling personal experiences into practical action steps in your community. Come prepared to draw from your experiences, recognize your relationships, and realize your power. While the event is tailored for organizing within Muslim communities, allies are always welcome! Click the link to learn more.
In District Week kept us focused on making sure our voice is heard in Congress, both in our home districts and in D.C. To help communities overcome the intimidation and lack of familiarity around Congressional engagement, Poligon put together a handy guide on how to set up an office visit and participate in a town hall meeting.
Poligon joined as a supporter of theFreedom of Religion Act introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA. The legislation was a response to the "Muslim Ban" executive order and seeks to halt the discriminatory act of profiling immigrants, refugees, and international visitors entering the U.S. based on religion.
Check out "Historical Action", our new column discussing how Muslims have historically been politically involved in America. The first post is on Sengbe Pieh (Cinque) and the Amistad Revolt about how a group of African Muslims were kidnapped and shipped to the New World to become slaves. They argued their case to the Supreme Court and won their freedom.

Different than the one i use to own!
on 11 May 2007
I use to own the original version back when it came out and loved it! Recently i wanted to own it again and read some reviews on the amazon page! One reviewer warned to get the original "circuit Board" '96 version (the one i had) as the new '99 release had remixed tracks. Well, i went and bought the circuit board covered version only to find out that this, too, has the remixes on it! They're not bad, but not comparable to the original, and the track spin spin suga has been completely butchered with none of the samples that made the original so memorable!
Why has this happened?! I don't know! But i want the original!:(
So be warned, if you are looking for the original, don't just go with the circuit board cover!

Circus-P (formerly Doofus-P (デュファスＰ) or matt9five) is a young western producer. Some of his original works have appeared on Vocaloid Rankings. He has also created a few UTAU voice banks such as Chii and Aido Feirune, and is the creator of fanmade vocaloid Kasane Keko. Unlike many producers, he draws his own art most of the time.
CircusP, along with Azuralunar, Guitar Hero Piano Zero, and last-whisper, released an original album featuring both English Vocaloids and Japanese Vocaloids in 2012, entitled Lucid. It features all the original tracks featured below except Creepy Song.
On May 4, 2011, Circus-P deleted many of his Youtube videos. Later, he closed his accounts on sites such as YouTube and DeviantArt. It was confirmed that these sudden actions were made because he had admitted to using POCALOID and wanted a hiatus for maturity. Circus-P eventually reactivated his DeviantArt account, made a new YouTube account with a humorous username, and is currently uploading videos.
Because of his POCALOID incident, many users still believe he is using them still even today. However, that was proven wrong, since he had posted a picture of all of his owned VOCALOIDs on Twitter.
The creation of the song was to poke some fun at vocaloid horror songs, which usually have a noticeable theme of bleak locations, unnamed characters who are described by appearance, and distorted music. (Note: The original YT URL was taken down).
This song is a successful attempt at creating a modern day "pop" song.
Circus-P's first original song to be sung in Japanese and is one of his most famous works (Note: The original YT URL was taken down; link is a re-upload on one of his new accounts). It also became associated with the fanmade Hetalia RPG game, HetaOni, which is based off of the Japanse horror game, Ao Oni.


Coles has announced the opening of its first Automated Distribution Centre (ADC) in Redbank, Queensland, which is the largest single capital investment in the retail giant’s history.
The ADC, also the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, will provide a safer, more efficient and sustainable supply chain.
The state-of-the-art facility spans 170,000 square metres, and with a building size of 66,000 square metres it’s reportedly one of the biggest and most productive ADCs in the world.
The facility, due to be opened today [27 April] by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Queensland Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, Coles Group Chairman, James Graham, and Coles Group CEO, Steven Cain, can process up to four million cases per week – the equivalent of 32 million units sold in stores.
Coles Group CEO, Steven Cain, said the opening of the Redbank facility will be one of the most significant moment since Coles was founded in 1914.
“Modernising our operations is how we improve efficiency and availability in our stores and deliver higher service levels for our customers, team members and suppliers,” he said.
“Our new ADCs can process twice the number of cases and hold twice the number of pallets compared to one of our current distribution centres. The ADCs enable us to half our current total footprint, leading to a more productive and sustainable business model.
“Over 90 per cent of the cases processed in these automated distribution centres will be processed fully by automation or ergonomically which will be a step-change for the safety of our team as it eliminates almost 18 million kilograms of manual handling in the supply chain each week once the ADC is running close to full capacity.”
Coles has invested more than $1 billion in the ADC technology, with a second centre set to open in Kemps Creek, New South Wales in 2024.
The ADCs are designed to create safer and more sustainable outcomes for team members and suppliers and better on-shelf availability for customers.
Albanese said the world leading technology will help advance supermarket supply chains.
“This technology is not only a first for Australia, but also a win for the state of Queensland,” he said.
“A facility like this one in Redbank shows how retailers and manufacturers can look to the future to improve the productivity, safety and sustainability of their operations for all Australians.”
The post Coles officially opens automated distribution centre appeared first on Trailer Magazine.

Ithaca is regularly recognized for restaurants like Moosewood and its thriving farmer’s market, but it is rarely considered a fast food mecca.
However, a recent study conducted by Pitney Bowes Business Insight ranks Ithaca as the third fastest-growing quick-service, or fast food, restaurant city of less than 250,000 people.
Quick-service restaurants are classified as chains that provide quick and inexpensive service to customers — including fast food restaurants or places like Applebee’s and Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
Nearby Buffalo and Rochester were ranked first and third in U.S. markets of more than 1 million.
Alan Beery, director of client services at Pitney Bowes, said the research company spent two months evaluating the competitive intensity between restaurants, unemployment levels and housing prices when determining the rankings in the fall. Beery said this information was compiled into an aggregate index that could be compared to other cities in similar markets across the country to determine their rankings.
“We looked at the number of those relative to the households in each market, so we’re able to assess how intense the competition was,” Beery said.
Beery said stability, despite the economy, was a key trait the top-ranked cities possessed; it was this stability that allowed markets in New York state to grow while markets in the Midwest and Southeast slumped, Beery said.
“One of the things we saw in the markets that didn’t make the list is that some of the areas like Arizona and Las Vegas had some really difficult challenges with the economic environment that we’re in,” Beery said. “The areas in downstate New York and some of the areas in the Pacific Northwest … tended to be much more stable in terms of the economic changes in the future.”
Jean McPheeters, president of the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce, said the high ranking could be because of an influx of national chains in the city.
“We haven’t had those kinds of national chains until really relatively recently, in the last five years,” McPheeters said. “That’s where I think the growth is coming from — not the drive-throughs, but the stop-ins that have a national characteristic.”
McPheeters said Ithaca is an ideal setting for opening a restaurant because of its younger, educated population and an unemployment rate of 5.5 percent, which is relatively low.
“If you look at our county as a whole, it’s 100,000 people and we have about 27,000 students,” McPheeters said. “They’re used to eating fast food, and they like it in general, and so they seek it.”
Steve Braman, franchise owner of Subway at the Ithaca Mall and Buttermilk Plaza, said he attributes Ithaca’s friendly business climate to the city’s makeup, including the presence of two colleges, The Commons, a mall and Cayuga Lake.
Braman said these features allow for strong periods of demand and minimized loss of sales during periods of low productivity.
“You’ve got an influx of 50,000 students every year,” Braman said. “You know they’re coming. And then their families come and visit so you know that’s there, too.”
McPheeters said the Ithaca’s demographics holds the key to the growth of quick-service restaurants.
“This is a place with relatively low unemployment compared to most of the country, with very highly educated people compared to most of the country, and good housing prices,” McPheeters said. “We just haven’t bottomed out like a lot of other places.”

Well, I'm a big Suns fan, and I hate to see him go. He was a real key to the team. Thankfully the Suns are very active in getting players that will REALLY improve their team this year. I should also point out that Amar'e is showing great class in leaving, where as other players would just leave without writing anything. Thanks Amare for a great 8 years, and GO SUNS!

I think its nice that he left on good terms with everyone in the organization,im really going to miss all the pick-and-roll plays he did with nash
I think it shows character. Something some other players have shown they dont have.
Amare is a role model, and has to portray himself as such.
And in a big market with the Knicks, he should be making a load of money off the court, which he deserves.
World class athlete, and a consumate professional!
Good luck Amare! I know you're going to bring a flare to the Garden this season!
that was good of him to do
This stinks and now the lakers have NO compition in the west
Well, I think you'll be suprised what happens in both conferences....

Phnom Penh (FN), Dec. 17 – Chan Chen, lawyer of former opposition leader Kem Sokha, said that his client has always abided legal procedures; yet, he could not confirm whether Sokha will attend the treason trial on 15 January 2020, speaking to the press on Tuesday.
"My client is a law-abiding person, a Buddhist follower, but I am not sure yet [whether he will attend the hearing,” Chan Chen answered reporters’ question.
Phnom Penh Municipal Court, on Monday, issued a press release to send Kem Sokha to trial at 8:30 a.m on 15 January 2020, to be held in room 1.
The court has closed investigation on the alleged treason case of Kem Sokha on 15 November 2019.
Kem Sokha, president of the court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), has been accused of conspiring with foreigners to topple the legitimate Royal Government of Cambodia.

Located in Lake Buena Vista, the Sheraton Vistana Resort is part of the Starwood timeshare program which covers the brands Sheraton and Westin. You don’t need to own at the Sheraton Vistana timeshare to book a vacation here as it is also a category 4 Sheraton property so you can book for cash or if you are an SPG member, you can use 10,000 SPG points per night. By booking through a regular SPG or Sheraton portal, you should get daily housekeeping service, but I do believe “no housekeeping” specials are available if you are happy to skip it and save the money. If you are an RCI member and looking to stay an entire week, your most economical option will probably be to exchange into the property or buy your week from Extra Vacations.
This particular resort is a large property built in phases. Each phase has its own name – Cascades, Falls, Lakes, Palms/Spas, and Springs. I’ve stayed in the Lakes and Cascades sections and they were both very nice. The Lakes area is probably my favorite. I just really like the furnishings and the layout of the two bedroom units here.
So far I have stayed at the Sheraton Vistana Resort three times, once on an RCI timeshare exchange and twice through RCI Extra Vacations rentals. I’ve also booked a week for my sister’s family and they loved it as well.
The entire property is well-landscaped and most buildings are just a few stories high so I think it makes the resort a lot more welcoming and attractive as a vacation destination than the massive apartment towers you will find at some other resorts.
Vistana Resort Orlando Amenities
On site, there is plenty to do at the Sheraton Vistana Orlando. There are several pools dotted around the property (I believe there’s one in each major area of the property) including an especially nice “super” pool that is located next to the casual restaurant, Zimmie’s. You can eat indoors at Zimmie’s or sit outside next to the pool deck at their “Sports Bar”. We watched the Superbowl there earlier this year and they had a buffet set out for the Superbowl and a large outdoor screen was erected so you could actually watch the game while sitting in pool or whirlpool. It was a lot of fun until it started raining!
Zimmie’s has five other TV’s as well. When they aren’t showing the Superbowl, you can expect a typical casual menu (burgers, snacks, etc) at Zimmie’s and they usually have specials during the week which you will get notice of in your info packet when you check-in to the resort. There’s also an All-You-Can-Eat BBQ on Wednesdays and Sundays.
In addition to Zimmie’s there’s also the Cascades Bar and Grill and the Coral Reef bar which are both open until sunset, the Oasis poolside bar (open seasonally), and the Fountains Food Court which has a KFC, A&W and Pizza Hut all on site. In fact, you can get the fast food places to deliver to your unit as well.
In addition to the casual dining, there is also a general store which sells groceries that you can prepare in your unit and you can buy prepared sandwiches, etc.
In addition to the pools and dining options, the Vistana resort has 9 tennis courts, basketball courts, a fitness center and a game room. I have never bothered to take advantage of any of these because I prefer the pools and I get most of my exercise just walking around Disney World. Like many timeshare resorts, there are also lots of schedule activities every day, but again I don’t realy participate in most of them because I’d rather be at the Parks. Though, the Superbowl night they hosted was lots of fun.
Vistana vs other Disney area Resorts
Of the resorts I stay at when I visit Orlando, the Sheraton Vistana is one of my top choices and I would usually book here before booking the Bonnet Creek Wyndham because I think the Sheraton Vistana has a bit more to offer in terms of amenities. In fact, in some ways it might even be a bit preferable to the Disney DVC resorts if you want to spread out a bit as the units are large and comfortable.

Dan Bodan is the new love song prince waiting in the wings for girls to fall at his feet from nation to nation. Born in Canada but now based in Berlin, Dan’s distinctive mature vocals carry his music through from seventies glam ballads to nineties dance. After playing recent UK shows at London’s Servant Jazz Quarters with Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip, Dan is slowly making a name for himself with his sound not a far cry from “Tracy Chapman taking MDMA every weekend and sleeping with German Academics.”
1883 spoke to Dan Bodan about being influenced by chicks who can sing, his sobering take on dance music and suggests that perhaps we’re all lazy because everyone writes about love.
It says that you are from Canada but live in Berlin, though you have links with Sheffield? Can you set the records straight- where did you grow up?
No, that Sheffield dude is some other Dan Bodan. I was raised in the Prairies, in Alberta and then Montreal and moved to Europe in 2007.
When did you know music was the thing for you?
Not sure, just seemed like something I’d always do. I really wanted to be a cartoonist forever, but I was never very good.
What have you been up to in the last year?
I’ve travelled a lot— did a residency in Tokyo, then NYC for 2 months in the winter. Spent a lot of time on buses cuz that’s all I can afford. Read a lot. Went through a rough break-up. I just went to the Olympics and saw Greco-Roman Men’s Wrestling. That was a real highlight.
Where do you think your music fits into in the scheme of things? Describe your music to us...
All the other musicians I’m friends with produce Dance music or experimental noise and so what I’m doing compared to them always seems a little sober. I guessing I’m a singer-songwriter, but it comes from that kind of world so I hope something of that is reflected in the tracks and what I project. But maybe more palatable to a wider audience. So like: the DJ’s kid brother writes pop songs about some dance floor encounter, or Tracy Chapman takes MDMA every weekend and sleeps with German Academics.
Would you be offended if I said I can hear etchings of Spandau Ballet in your music?
Don’t know who that is, but I’ll be sure to listen to them. If people hear things in my music that’s cool, I do the same. ‘Avant-ballads’ is what one publication said your sound was. What draws you to love songs and ballads?
I don’t really know. I don’t think it’s conscious but it seems like everyone writes about love for some reason. Maybe we’re all lazy, but it could be because it’s also such an abstract concept that it can be used to express such a huge range of ideas. Or everyone just wants to be loved?
It is said you have actually been collaborating on a track with him, can you tell us more?
He covered a song I wrote a while ago that I recorded as a Demo. He’s putting it out in the next month on a 7inch and the demo will be on the other side. I love his version. It’s like night driving through Dubai or something.
Your music sounds very 70s and 80s, is there an era you take most influence from?
I don’t really hear the 80’s so much in it. I guess it’s just become common place to lump all keyboard based music into that decade because that’s sorta its heyday. But I was born in 85 so most of my early music listening was early 90’s pop and RnB and that must have influenced me in some way.
Your voice is very mature... how old are you?... have you always sang?
27 and I’ve always been singing.
What artists do you take most influence from?
It’s kind of difficult to list my influences because I feel most are unconscious. I mean I love everything my friends do but they’re all Dance music producers so it’s hard to say how much they influence my song writing but that is what I listen to most of the time. I listened to a lot of Diana Ross growing up, and like Carole King. I listen to a lot of chicks who sing.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Dj Sliink, a lot, He’s such an awesome producer and Brenmar. And that "new" Aaliyah track (minus Drake).
What’s your favourite thing about the music making process?
I def don’t like writing. It’s a pretty painful process cuz I get all these complexes about if the song is totally uncool or stupid. So once that’s out of the way I love conceptualizing it with friends and producers and fleshing it out.
What does the rest of the year have in store for you? Are you nearing an album?
I would love to have an album out within the year! But at the moment I’m kind figuring out who I want to work with on it, approaching them and seeing if its compatible. I want most my new songs to be worked on with EDM producers. Not to make dance tracks, but to get that quality of sound. The sounds of the Future. ;)

A diode is an electronic component with a single pn junction and two terminals that functions like a check valve in that it allows current to flow in one direction and not the other. Silicon zener diodes zener diodes are special silicon diodes which have a relatively low, defined breakdown voltage, called the zener voltage at low reverse voltages a zener diode behaves in a similar manner to an ordinary silicon diode, that is, it passes only a very small leakage current if, however.

Overview silicone carbide (sic) schottky barrier diodes (sbd) offer superior dynamic and thermal performance over conventional silicon power diodes. In the challenging quest of increasing electrical efficiency and longer battery autonomy for hybrid and electric vehicles (hevs, evs), high-voltage silicon-carbide diodes are key to power-supply designers. A diode is the simplest possible semiconductor device a diode allows current to flow in one direction but not the other a diode allows current to flow in one direction but not the other you may have seen turnstiles at a stadium or a subway station that let people go through in only one direction. Calibrating a silicon diode for temperature measurement the main disadvantage of using common silicon diodes for temperature measurement is that they need to be individually calibrated as each one has slightly diﬀerent prop. A silicon diode is a semiconductor that has positive and negative polarity, and can allow electrical current to flow in one direction while restricting it in another the element silicon, in its pure form, acts as an electrical insulatorto enable it to conduct electricity, minute amounts of other elements — in a process known as doping — are added to it.
Dt-670 series silicon diodes offer better accuracy over a wider temperature range than any previously marketed silicon diodes conforming to the curve dt-670 standard voltage versus temperature response curve, sensors within the dt-670 series are interchangeable, and for many applications do not require individual calibration. The cut-in voltage of a silicon diode is at about 07 v a germanium diode needs a cut-in voltage at about 03 v negative voltage at p-side if you instead give negative voltage to the p-side and positive voltage to the n-side, the electrons of the n-side want to go to the positive voltage source instead of the other side of the diode. The silicon power rapid diode family complements infineon’s existing high power 600v/650v diode portfolio by filling the gap between sic diodes and previously released emitter-controlled diodes.
The primary difference between silicon and germanium diodes is the voltage needed for the diode to turn on (or become “forward-biased”) silicon diodes require 07 volts to become forward-biased, whereas germanium diodes require only 03 volts to become forward-biased. To meet the latest stringent efficiency regulations (energy star, 80plus, european efficiency), power-supply designers must consider the use of new power converter topologies and more efficient electronic components such as high-voltage silicon-carbide (sic) schottky rectifiers. Schottky diodes - a special type of silicon diode that has a lower forward voltage drop and faster reverse recovery than ordinary silicon diodes they are generally for medium to high current, and used for switching at high speed (switching regulators) and when a low forward voltage drop is desirable. In general, when the forward voltage applied to a diode exceeds 06 to 07v for silicon (or 01 to 02 v for germanium) material, the diode is assumed to be conducting with very little resistance example: in the half-wave rectifier circuit shown below, , , and is a silicon diode.
Cut-in voltage for a silicon diode was approximately 06 volts, and similarly for the germanium diode 02 volts these are both very close to the expected cut-in voltages the diode characteristics 2012 diode @ . Silicon zener diodes available in jan, jantx and jantxv levels to mil-prf-19500 slash sheets /117, /127, /159, /435, /437, /452 and /533 in both axial leaded and melf packages other features include: metallurgically bonded, hermetically sealed, double plug construction, designs with low noise chartisitics. For silicon diodes, the typical forward voltage is 07 volts, nominal for germanium diodes, the forward voltage is only 03 volts the chemical constituency of the p-n junction comprising the diode accounts for its nominal forward voltage figure, which is why silicon and germanium diodes have such different forward voltages. Measuring temperature with a silicon diode due to the high sensitivity, nearly linear response, and easy availability, we will use a 1n4148 diode for the temperature transducer in our measurements.
Forward-biased silicon diodes are designed to achieve a voltage drop of about 07 volts at room temperature you may see a lower result when using the diode check function, because the multimeter produces a much smaller current than a typical circuit. The information in this publication has been carefully checked and is believed to be accurate however, no responsibility is assumed for inaccuracies. For silicon diodes, the built-in potential is approximately 07 v (03 v for germanium and 02 v for schottky) thus, if an external voltage greater than and opposite to the built-in voltage is applied, a current will flow and the diode is said to be turned on as it has been given an external forward bias the diode is commonly said to have a.

Remodeled Bradley terminal would create blind spots, officials acknowledge
A multistory centerpiece of the modernization plan for Los Angeles International Airport would block the direct view of air traffic controllers for a busy portion of the complex, including gates, aircraft ramps and taxiways, officials acknowledge.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration and air traffic controllers, the blind spots would be created by the $1.5-billion remodeling of the Tom Bradley International Terminal. The project would dominate the west end of the terminal area and have a roof line ranging from five to nine stories high.
“Basically, they will create a giant billboard in the middle of the seventh-busiest airport in the world,” said Mike Foote, an air traffic controller at LAX and chapter president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Assn. “The backside of the terminal will have a bunch of new gates. We won’t be able to see any of them. It is the same for the ramps and taxiways.”
For almost two years, officials with the FAA and Los Angeles World Airports, which operates LAX, have been assessing the visibility problems and developing possible solutions.
Airport officials say the planned installation of radar, laser-guided aircraft docking technology and closed-circuit television cameras should make it possible for controllers to track and guide planes safely through areas they can’t see directly.
They added that a new taxiway that is visible from the control tower would be built well beyond the Bradley terminal and that small ramp towers staffed with controllers also could be constructed to monitor aircraft coming into and out of the eight gates planned for the terminal’s west side.
“We will be relying on the next generation of technology,” said Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports. “It will give pilots and air traffic controllers more information and enhance the capabilities of everyone involved. It’s better to rely on a plethora of tools. We are not taking out the human eye.”
The controller’s association has suggested building a second control tower as a way to maintain good visibility west of the Bradley, an approach Lindsey called “yesterday’s technology” and more suited to the association’s interests of having a new facility that would need more controllers.
Foote disagreed, saying the LAX radar system can have gaps in its coverage and is not always precise. Adding television monitors in the control tower to view taxiways, he added, would cause controllers to increasingly take their eyes off the airfield.
The controllers’ association also is concerned because rank-and-file controllers at LAX were left out of a review of the Bradley’s design by the FAA’s airport division, which approved the project about a year ago.
Though the proposal has been approved by the agency, FAA officials said they would convene another evaluation panel to look at all aspects of the Bradley renovation. It would include the agency’s air traffic and airport divisions, the controllers association, pilots and LAX officials.
Unless adequate solutions are found, Foote said, the rebuilt Bradley terminal could complicate ground control operations and lead to safety and efficiency problems when moving aircraft.
“We don’t want a virtual tower,” Foote said. “We need to see airplanes or things slow down or become more difficult. We expect that the FAA will take the safest, most effective route. If we can’t work airplanes safely, we won’t work the airplanes.”
In a worst-case example, controllers cite the collision of a USAir Boeing 737 and a SkyWest commuter plane on a runway at LAX that killed 34 people in February 1991.
Though it was not a direct cause of the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded, among other things, that FAA management did not promptly correct glare problems that made it difficult for controllers to see planes in some areas of the airport.
“Any time you can’t see an aircraft as an air traffic controller, it’s an issue,” said Elliot Brann, the air traffic controllers association’s regional representative for runway safety. “With the new construction, LAX could potentially become one of the top blind-spot airports in the region.”
Brann, who is familiar with airports in California, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii, said there could be safety issues because a new cross-field taxiway would be situated west of the Bradley terminal, where many aircraft would be moving between the north and south runway complexes.
Blind spots created by terminal expansions and construction have occurred at LAX before. They resulted in construction of a new 277-foot control tower in the mid-1990s that replaced an earlier facility that was 165 feet tall.
Despite the taller structure, sections of two taxiways on the airport’s west side are blocked from the direct view of air traffic controllers. Radar is used to help guide planes through those areas and warning signs have been posted for pilots.
Though controllers remain concerned about the taxiways, the situation has existed for years without a serious incident.
“Mitigating measures can reduce blind spots,” said Mike Molina, a deputy executive director at Los Angeles World Airports. “Blind spots are defined by eyesight. There are no blind spots when you factor in the enhanced technology now available to airports and control towers. The phrase ‘blind spot’ is obsolete.”

Eerie Abandoned Missile Sites in Washington Are a stark reminder of the Cold War
At one time the United States had approximately 265 Nike Missile Sites throughout the country. The vast majority of these sites have been "obliterated or decommissioned". Others have turned into parks, donated to school districts, and even turned into private residences.
Named after the goddess of victory in Greek Mythology, "Nike". Project Nike was an anti-aircraft missile system designed to shoot down the Russian Intercontinental Biolistic Missile (ICBM). ICBM's had a range of 3500 miles and could carry a nuclear warhead. Only Russia, China, and the United States had them during the Cold War.
At one time, Washington State had 18 Nike Missile locations including the Hanford Defense Area (H), with missiles at Rattlesnake Mountain, Saddle Mountain, Priest Rapids, and Othello. These sites replaced actual gun batteries in the 1950s with one goal in mind, to defend the United States from a Soviet ICBM attack - literally as our last line of defense. The Rattlesnake Mountain site is pictured below.
With the exception of Rattlesnake Mountain, the sites near Tri-Cities and in Eastern Washington have been decommissioned and obliterated. The Rattlesnake Mountain area is currently used as a lab.
