The 36-year-old half-Puerto Rican actress will star in Spin Me Round, an indie comedy directed by Jeff Baena from a script he wrote with Alison Brie, who will also star.
In addition to Plaza, best known for her work on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, and Brie, the cast also includes Alessandro Nivola, Molly Shannon and Lil Rel Howery.
The film will be produced by the Duplass Brothers Productions and Limelight, the latter of which is fully financing the picture. Production begins next month in Italy.
Tim Heidecker, Ben Sinclair, Fred Armisen, Ayden Mayeri, Debby Ryan, Zach Woods, Ego Nwodim, Lauren Weedman, and Jake Picking round out the cast.
Brie plays the manager of the Bakersfield, California franchise of the Italian chain eatery Tuscan Grove. She wins an all-expenses trip to the company’s gorgeous “institute” outside of Florence, Italy, and the chance to meet the restaurant chain’s wealthy and charismatic owner (Nivola). Along with a mismatched group of local American franchise managers, Amber finds a far different adventure than the romantic fantasy she had imagined.
The 26-year-old Cuban American actress has joined the voice cast of Paramount+’s Rugratsseries revival.
Morales will portray Phil and Lil’s mother.
The reimagining is set to debut on Paramount+ this spring.

In an interview with Deadline, Nickelodeon President Brian Robbins addressed the decision to keep the original core original cast voicing the kids but bring in new actors for the grown-up roles.
“First of all, we have all the original babies back, all the original cast back, which we are thrilled to have” Robbins said. “Some of the original actors — remember the show is 20-25+ years-old, and we thought there was an opportunity for new exciting comedic voices who grew up watching and being fans of the show and let them do cameos. So we are really excited about our adult cast on Rugrats.“
The original Rugrats series premiered 30 years ago, in August of 1991, and some of the actors who played adult characters are no longer alive. The original became a groundbreaking phenomenon, spawning consumer products and three hit theatrical releases, cementing its place in pop culture history through its iconic characters, storytelling and unique visual style. Rugrats was in production for nine seasons over the course of 13 years. The series earned four Daytime Emmy Awards, six Kids’ Choice Awardsand its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The all-new Rugrats is based on the series created by Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo and Paul Germain.
Morales’ previous credits include Parks and Recreation, Dead to Me and White Collar.
Aubrey Plaza is ready to ring in the holiday season…
Hulu has released the first trailer for Happiest Season, a holiday-themed romantic comedy starring the 36-year-old actress/comedian and former Parks and Recreation star.
“This is why I avoid Christmas — it brings out the worst in everything,” says the trailer for the film, which also stars Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis.
Here’s the logline: Meeting your girlfriend’s family for the first time can be tough. Planning to propose at her family’s annual Christmas dinner — until you realize that they don’t even know she’s gay — is even harder. When Abby (Stewart) learns that Harper (Davis) has kept their relationship a secret from her family, she begins to question the girlfriend she thought she knew.
Plaza, Stewart and Davis are joined by Alison Brie, Daniel Levy, Mary Holland, Burl Moseley, Victor Garber and Mary Steenburgen in a film that captures the range of emotions tied to wanting your family’s acceptance, being true to yourself and trying not to ruin Christmas.
Sample dialogue: “I’m scared that if I tell them who I really am that I will lose them,” Harper tells Abby. “Do you know how painful it is to watch the person I love hide me?” she replies. Harper: “I’m not hiding you — I’m hiding me.”
Clea DuVall directs from a script she wrote with Mary Holland.
Hulu will premiere the holiday rom-com on Wednesday, November 25 — the day before Thanksgiving.

“Like a lot of other people, we were looking for ways to help and felt that bringing these characters back for a night could raise some money,” said executive producer Michael Schur. “I sent a hopeful email to the cast and they all got back to me within 45 minutes. Our old ‘Parks and Rec’ team has put together one more 30-minute slice of (quarantined) Pawnee life and we hope everyone enjoys it. And donates!”
The special comes five years after viewers said farewell to the iconic comedy series.
“In such uncertain times, we can’t think of anyone better than Leslie Knope to unite our country with her unbridled enthusiasm and compassion,” said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment. “A huge thank you to Mike Schur and the cast of Parks and Recreationfor putting this wonderful special together and bringing a smile to all our faces while raising money for such a worthwhile cause.”

Shortly after Fox cancelledBrooklyn Nine-Nine, the cop comedy series, starring the 37-year-old Argentine-born American actress, has been picked up by NBC for a 13-episode sixth season.
NBC, whose sister studio Universal TV produces the Andy Samberg-starring series, was one of the potential suitors for the comedy after its cancellation.
NBC also was among the broadcast networks that bid for the Brooklyn Nine-Nine pitch from creators Mike Schur and Dan Goor when it hit the marketplace in 2012 before the project landed at Fox in a very competitive situation.
“Ever since we sold this show to Fox I’ve regretted letting it get away, and it’s high time it came back to its rightful home,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. “Mike Schur, Dan Goor, and Andy Samberg grew up on NBC and we’re all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up. I speak for everyone at NBC, here’s to the Nine-Nine!”
Created by theParks and Recreationduo of Goor and Schur, former college roommates, Brooklyn Nine-Nine centers on Peralta, played by Saturday Night Live alum Samberg, a screwball who happens to be a real good cop. His captain in the NYPD’s 99th Precinct is Raymond Holt, a seen-it-all and emotion-challenged captain played by Andre Braugher, who scored three consecutive Emmy noms for Supporting Actor from 2014-2016. Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Beatriz, Chelsea Peretti, Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker also star.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which was Fox’s highest-rated live-action comedy series this season among adults 18-49, is produced by Universal Television.
The show won two Golden Globes in its freshman season — for best comedy series and best actor in a comedy series (Samberg).
The 35-year-old Guatemalan singer-songwriter has signed an exclusive global publishing deal with peermusic.
Yvonne Drazan, the West Coast Vice President of peermusic’s Latin Division, and Julio Bagué, Vice President of the Latin Division for the East Coast and Puerto Rico, announced the signing.
Moreno, a bilingual singer who lives in Los Angeles, has advantageously bridged the English- and Spanish-language markets, performing in pop, bolero and vintage jazz and blues styles with equal appeal.
Moreno first gained attention in 2006 when she won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest’s Song of the Year award, a first for a song in the Latin category.
Moreno was an Emmy nominee in 2010 as co-writer of the theme song for the series Parks and Recreation, and was named the Latin Grammy Best New Artist in 2013. Her latest solo album,Ilusiones, was released in 2016.
“One of the things that I’ve tried to do throughout my career is to let my music be guided by what inspires me and not be afraid to push creative boundaries,” Moreno said in an announcement from peermusic. “I want to work with people who value and share that vision, so bringing my catalog to peermusic and partnering with Yvonne, Julio and the rest of their team was a natural decision.”
The signing marks “the culmination of a year-long pursuit and negotiation,” according to Drazan.
“From the first moment I heard Gaby’s voice, I knew that I had to work with her,” she said. “Her ability to seamlessly blend Latin music with American folk is unmatched, and as a songwriter she has a point of view that is at once familiar yet unique.”

BMW PININFARINA GRAN LUSSO COUPÉ
CONSUMMATE ELEGANCEdiscover more
Exclusivity in luxury
BMW and Pininfarina are two of the most tradition-swathed names in the motoring world. Each is a byword for cutting-edge technology, style, dynamics and aesthetics. With the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé, the two time-honoured companies present the outcome of their first collaboration. The BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé is a one-off and represents the exclusive interpretation of a luxurious BMW Coupé as seen through the eyes of Pininfarina. Working in close consultation, the two design teams have created a new automotive persona brimming with character and ready to join the high-end luxury class – typically BMW while sporting the distinctive signature of Pininfarina.
- the GOOD DESIGN™ Award 2013
- Special Mention within the German Design Award 2014
We are very proud of this concept car because it expresses at best the aesthetic values that always inspired Pininfarina: the purity of the lines, the harmony of form, and balance. It underlines our expertise as a global designer and manufacturer of high-quality exclusive cars realized thanks to unique craft skills gained in over 80 years of activity. Furthermore, we are very pleased to work with a prestigious brand such as BMW
A perfect design philosophy
The BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé adds a new dimension to the BMW claim to exclusivity. This painstakingly created one-off captivates the viewer at first glance. Liberal surface areas and taut contours are the distinguishing elements of an elegant car body. Typical BMW proportions – a long wheelbase, stretched bonnet and set-back greenhouse – imbue the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé with imposing dynamics even when stationary. At the same time the car exudes balance and harmony: BMW values such as technology, dynamics and precision are complemented by the skilled craftsmanship of Pininfarina to create a very special holistic experience.
Dynamic presence – the front view
With its broad, wheel-focused stance, the front of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé radiates sheer presence and dynamics. The hallmark double-kidney grille and the road-focused headlights with their suggested twin circular look reveal at a glance the family bond with BMW. At the same time the distinctive Pininfarina elements have been interpreted with Italian finesse to lend the front end a special flair. The trademark BMW kidney grille forms the central element of the front-end design, and all surfaces and lines take their bearings from it. It symbolically points to the engine at the heart of the vehicle, its size reflecting the power of the V12 unit nestling behind it. The “kidneys” are angled towards the road, citing the typical BMW “shark nose” and lending the front end an even more dynamic look, particularly when seen from the side. Viewed up close it discloses highly accomplished detail work: the front part of the bipartite kidney grille is made of matt-sheen aluminium, while behind it an identically shaped part in high-gloss black adds visual depth and makes for an exciting contrast of materials. Above the kidney grille the bonnet stretches across the front of the car, its subtle contours appearing to emanate from the BMW emblem and lending the bonnet a dynamic elegance.
Elegant sculpture – the side view
The designers at BMW and Pininfarina set particular store by creating the right proportions. The car’s surfaces display the elaborate form language of BMW while being sculpted with a clarity that is hallmark Pininfarina. Within a powerfully present silhouette, convex taperings on the side add a dynamic elegance and give the body a tautly athletic shape. At the same time the reduced, precise contours stretch the vehicle and underline its exclusivity with a contemporary touch. The high shoulder line extends almost horizontally along the entire side of the car, imbuing the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé with stature and presence. Above it the long roof line flows elegantly into the rear to define the short tail end. Below the shoulder line, a striking countersweep to the roof line emanates from the Air Breather behind the front wheel. Ascending towards the rear, it lends the back section of the car a light and dynamic appearance. All the lines have been designed with keen sensitivity: as they trace their course they become stronger or weaker and, through the changing play of light and shadow, show off the surrounding surfaces to their best effect. Pininfarina lettering in the side panel points to the definitive role played by the Italian design company in creating this vehicle. The exclusively designed 21-inch wheels perfectly augment the sporty, elegant statement made by the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé.
Sophisticated stance – the rear view
The elongated side profile leads to a slender and elegant tail end. Striking horizontal elements imbue the entire rear end with a very broad, flat impression. At the same time, the generous surface design of the rear lends it a powerful presence. Extending from the sides, the tail lights embrace the rear end in a single sweeping gesture that brings the side and rear together visually. The tail lights reveal elaborately detailed workmanship and lend the BMW L-shape a slender, almost filigree interpretation.
A contemporary take on classical values – the interior
The melding of sportiness, exclusivity and comfort makes for a unique interior experience. The fluid underlying geometry of the interior design by BMW takes on an individual character courtesy of the Pininfarina touch. With a special colour concept, choice materials and geometrical details in the doors, centre console and dashboard binnacle, Pininfarina lends further emphasis to signature BMW elements such as the driver focus and layering principle, while accentuating the sporty character of the interior with a fine instinct for cutting-edge and elegant details alike. The front and rear seats from the Pininfarina drawing board embrace all occupants with sporty side supports while providing the highest levels of comfort. From the driver’s seat, a sideward glance will initially reveal the hallmark BMW driver focus: all driving-related functions and controls are slightly angled towards the driver to be within optimal ergonomic reach.
Selected materials and top-quality craftsmanship
The exclusive colour and material concept is one of the stand-out features of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé and eloquently reflects its unique character. Extensive handcraftsmanship further enhances the interior ambience. Finest leather and kauri wood aged more than 48,000 years lend the cabin of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé a special aura. The high-grade leather from the Foglizzo leather factory – in black and a light shade of Tobacco Brown – creates a warm, exclusive ambience. Metal highlights in black chrome set a technical counterpoint to the extensive application of natural materials. The roof liner of finest Italian virgin wool features the striking “Principe di Galles” pattern. This grey plaid strikes a bold contrast to the traditional materials used for the doors and dashboard. The brown leather seats also pick up on the pattern in their all-round piping.
With the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé, the BMW Design team took up exclusive design aspects such as luxury and elegance and fed them into a creative exchange with long-established specialist car designer and manufacturer Pininfarina. In this elaborately created one-off, the renowned companies BMW Group and Pininfarina joined forces to bring an idea to fruition.

Scientists have found the first evidence that particles of air pollution travel through the lungs of pregnant women and settle in their placenta.
Toxic air is already strongly linked to damage in fetuses, but how the damage has been done is unknown. The new study with mothers who lived in London revealed soot particles in the placenta's of each of their babies and researchers say it is quite possible that the particles also end up in the fetuses.
"It is a worrying problem – there is a huge association between air pollution that a mother inhales and its effect on the fetus," said Dr. Lisa Miyashita, at the Queen Mary University of London, one of the research teams. "It is always good if it is possible to take less contaminated routes if you are pregnant – or if you are not pregnant." I avoid busy roads when I walk to the station. "
A series of previous studies have shown that air pollution significantly increases the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, leading to lifelong damage to health. A comprehensive study of more than 500,000 deliveries in London, published in December, confirmed the link and led doctors to say that the consequences for many millions of women in polluted cities around the world are "something that is approaching a public health disaster" .
Scientists increasingly find that air pollution leads to health problems far beyond the lungs. In August, research revealed that air pollution causes a "huge" reduction in intelligence, while in 2016 toxic nanoparticles from air pollution were detected in the human brain.
The new study examined the placenta's of five non-smoking women who all delivered healthy babies. The researchers isolated macrophage cells, which are part of the immune system of the body and cover harmful particles such as bacteria and air pollution.
Using an optical microscope, they found 72 dark particles under 3,500 cells and then used a powerful electron microscope to examine the shape of some particles. They were very similar to the soot particles in macrophages in the lung, which catch many – but not all – particles.
Although further analysis is needed for final confirmation, Dr. Miyashita said: "We can not think of anything else it could be, it is very clear to us that it is sooty black." Previous experiments have shown that particles inhaled by pregnant animals by the bloodstream in placenta & # 39; s going.
"We do not know if the particles found can also pass into the fetus, but our evidence suggests that this is indeed possible," said Dr. Norrice Liu, also at Queen Mary University of London and part of the team. "We also know that the particles do not have to enter the body of the baby to have a negative effect, because if they have an effect on the placenta, this will have a direct impact on the fetus."
The research will be presented on Sunday at the international conference of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) in Paris. "This research suggests a possible mechanism of how babies are affected by pollution while being theoretically protected in the womb," said Prof. Mina Gaga, who is ERS president and at Athens Chest Hospital in Greece.
"This should make doctors and the public aware of the harmful effects of air pollution in pregnant women," she said, noting that damage to fetuses can occur even under the current pollution limits of the European Union. "We need a stricter policy for cleaner air to reduce the impact of pollution on health globally, because we already see a new population of young adults with health problems."
UNICEF director Anthony Lake recently warned of the danger of air pollution for babies: "Not only do pollutants pollute the developing lungs of babies, they can also permanently damage their developing brain – and thus their future."
Separate research, also presented at the ERS congress, showed that children with early onset and persistent asthma performed much less well in education than those without the condition. Asthma in children has long been associated with air pollution.
The study, conducted in 20 years in Sweden, showed that children with asthma were three and a half times more likely to leave school at the age of 16 with only basic education and twice as likely to graduate.
Dr. Christian Schyllert, at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, said: "This study suggests [these] children have a worse chance of life when it comes to their education and their future jobs. "He said that one possible reason could be that children with asthma are known to have a primary school.

Tattoo For Me!
May 31, 2020
2.5 Stars… Original Assignment: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/tattoos-that-describe-you/
I used Font-Generator.Com to create this tattoo. First I would like to start off my saying I would never get a tattoo because my parents would not like it and second they really scare me. I chose this tattoo because sometimes I really overthink things and think people hate me even when they don’t.
This would be my daily reminder when I looked down. That I am loved by many and I am worthy. I would but this on my inner forearm. So I would see it a lot and always remember. I chose this font because it is bolded and its noticeable for all to see. I also really like black because that would match with everything!

Settling the High Plains of Kansas, 1865-1890Book - 1986
This volume, which presents a "slice-of-life" on the Plains during its early settlement, adds rich detail to our understanding of the struggle for survival in a harsh landscape that tested the hardiest pioneer. Miner concentrates not only on the major economic events of the period--railroad building, Indian raids, the grasshopper invasion of 1874, the blizzard of 1886--but also on the more personal experiences equally important: building sod houses, choosing crops, filing of claims, fighting varmints, and dealing with the deaths of children on the prairie.

The Sixth Floor Museum presents A Ripple of Hope Film Screening and Discussion
A Ripple of Hope is a powerful one-hour documentary that traces the events of April 4, 1968, when major U.S. cities erupted in riots and fires as news spread of the death of Martin Luther King Jr. Already en route to Indianapolis for a presidential campaign rally, candidate Robert Kennedy was urged to cancel for his own safety. Instead, he gave an extemporaneous speech that was credited with creating a sense of calm that averted violence in Indianapolis.
A discussion with producer/director Dr. Donald Boggs will follow the screening. Event tickets include access to the temporary photography exhibit, “Rebel Spirits: Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.”

GDP numbers that are in line with expectations need a little extra attention from the forex trader. First, the trader needs to compare the current number to the prior quarter’s or year’s data to better understand the currency’s economic position. Trend analysis is a technique used in technical analysis that attempts to predict future stock price movements based on recently observed trend data.
Firstly, the country with the larger GDP may have a lot more citizens to divide that income between. To allow for this, economists often divide a country’s GDP by the number of citizens. GDP per capita is the most common statistic used when comparing standards of living in different countries.
We will share you all analysis to help you understand the reason behind every signal. CPI is released monthly by most major economies to give a timely glimpse into current growth and inflation levels. As a result, don’t anticipate markets to react the same way every time a GDP report exceeds or falls short of expectations. This week we’ll see if the economy has created 15K more jobs in January as markets are expecting.
But, they won’t dismiss any differences when it comes to comparing the advanced with both the preliminary and final readings. In addition, positive data that matches expectations is rarely a bullish signal for a currency and may even lead to its depreciation. In principle, the data is released on a quarterly basis by the BEA four weeks after each quarter ends.
The https://forexarena.net/ is collected through various agencies at different times, and the BEA makes adjustments as necessary to ensure the data is consistent. GDP movement is usually given as a percentage, as in the rate that GDP grew from one quarter compared with the previous quarter. Sign up for a demo account to hone your strategies in a risk-free environment. For example, if a country has a GDP of $3.53 trillion and maintains a stable annual growth rate of 7% for an entire year, its economy will grow to $3.78 trillion.
This https://forexaggregator.com/ followed the 3.2% growth recorded in the third quarter and came in slightly better than the market expectation for an expansion of 2.6%. GDP reports may not affect forex if the rate is as expected, at an average rate, overshadowed by another economic event or cancelled out by inflation. Now let’s compare the GDP growth rates depicted above to the value of EUR/USD, the forex pair representing both economies.
Whether it is continuation patterns or reversal patterns or neutral forex chart patterns, all types of forex trading chart patterns comes under the price action trading journey. GDP readings that come out as expected require a bit more attention from the forex trader. The trader will want to compare the current reading to the previous quarter’s or year’s reading and gather better insight into the situation of the economy of the currency in question.
After he turned his trading account from 500$ to 7000$, he opened a new account with 5000$ for turning his balance to 70,000$. It is simply money or credit owed by a government to its creditors. It is debt issued by the national government in a foreign currency in order to… Another method of comparison is using the purchasing power parity exchange rate, whereby the GDP is calculated by the PPP of each currency relative to a selected standard, i.e. the US dollar. When GDP is rising, the economy is typically deemed to be doing well. Employment can be expected to increase as companies hire more workers, which means people have more money to spend.
Important Rules to remember while following our signals :
Fundamental https://trading-market.org/rs monitor economic data releases, and many do so with the intention of trading the news. On the other hand, a country with weak GDP has a drastically reduced interest rate hike expectation. In fact, the central bank of a country that has two consecutive quarters of negative GDP may even choose to stimulate their economy by cutting interest rates. Before the release of “The Wealth of Nations”, states declared their wealth based on the value of their gold and silver deposits.
The first factor to consider when trading the GDP report is whether the markets have already priced in a better or a worse number. In most cases, the sub-components that feed into the GDP such as the Manufacturing, Construction and Services PMI tend to reflect on what the GDP outlook might be. The way the markets behave on the GDP release eventually comes down to how strongly the actual number has deviated. Forex Chart Patterns are used for technical analysis to predict the future movement of the market. If the head and shoulders neckline break, the reversal will be confirmed. After breakout confirms at the recent low level , You can enter into the trade.
Rather, these taxes are expected to be accounted for in government expenditures later on. There are a number of significant transactions that are not included in GDP, such as imports, some taxes and government subsidies. These transactions, though, are analyzed in other techniques of fundamental analysis. The choice to follow or not follow the signal is up to your wish.
Adding strength to the bullion’s latest rebound could be the retreat in the US Treasury bond yields from multi-day highs. A nation’s net exports are the value of its total exports minus the value of its total imports. Aggregate demand is a measurement of the total amount of demand for all finished goods and services produced in an economy. The offers that appear in this table are from partnerships from which Investopedia receives compensation. Investopedia does not include all offers available in the marketplace. This came about initially because GDP was on the ascent in Europe while already falling in the US, and when it did drop off, it did so only fractionally.
- Although it is not perfect, GDP is the best guide to an economy’s size and its ups and downs.
- At the end, an FX trader needs to determine and anticipate such a move, or trend, to make profits.
- This type of commodity will tend to go up with strong GDP figures.
- Now that you know what GDP is and the economic activity it represents, let’s see how forex markets react to GDP announcements.
- The CPI measures change in the prices of consumer goods across over 200 different categories.
This has raised hopes others will follow suit and thus we are near the peak in terms of interest rates. In turn, this could prevent a severe recession this year, something which the markets had been very worried about last year. Did you know that it’s possible to trade with virtual currency, using real-time market data without putting any of your capital at risk? With an Admirals’ risk-free demo trading account, traders can test their GDP trading strategies and perfect them without risking their money.

SNOWFLAKE, Ariz. — Some people may have seen a flashback from the 60s in the sky over a town in Arizona.
Light coming from a medical marijuana farm created a “purple haze” over Snowflake, Arizona.
Purple Haze happens to be the title of a popular Jimi Hendrix song from the 1960s. Many believe it was a reference to drugs, even though Hendrix denied it.
Officials at the farm said the purple glow, which appeared on Friday, Jan. 10, was just a coincidence. A company spokesman said the glow came from red and blue lights used to help grow marijuana plants.
There was fog in the area at the time, which reflected the lights and spread it across the sky.

Shows specific decisions made for Retina hardware
iFixit has published another teardown, this time of the non-Retina version of the MacBook Pro. The repair firm notes that the non-Retina hardware remains far more repairable; whereas the Retina machine was given a 1/10 score for repairs, the regular one gets a 7/10 rating. Several differences are responsible for the scores.
The regular Pro uses conventional screws, for example, versus the special pentalobe screws in the Retina computer, which means that the former can be opened up without buying a new screwdriver. The Retina system's battery is spread out and glued into the case, making it impossible to remove as a single unit, whereas the standard Pro uses the same size and capacity of battery as last year's model.
Both the Retina and non-Retina notebooks are said to have removable SSDs, even though the Retina drive is a much slimmer 3.16mm versus the the non-Retina's 9.45mm. For some reason, however, the former uses a proprietary connector, which means users still can't swap it out for a third-party drive.
The stacked RAM slots in the regular Pro are 9.15mm thick; iFixit notes that the Retina Pro as a whole is just 18mm thick, which would make using the regular system's memory design impractical. The company suggests, though, that it the logic board was designed with RAM slots side-by-side, as in older MacBooks, people could replace their RAM instead of having to buy as much as they might ever need when ordering the computer.
Although the LCD is said to be the most expensive repair for either notebook, iFixit comments that the regular Pro allows replacing just the LCD, whereas the Retina Pro demands replacing the entire display assembly. Adding a removable LCD to the Retina model would increase thickness by less than a millimeter, the firm says.
Removing the optical drive, lastly, is said to be one of the biggest contributions to weight reduction in the Retina system, but at a cost. In the regular Pro the optical drive can be swapped out by a third party for a second hard drive, substantially expanding storage.


In need of a new facility to educate future chemists, doctors and dentists, Bristol Community College tasked the design team with creating a cutting-edge teaching laboratory. However, while the project was paused due to funding questions, the design team seized the opportunity to reassess their initial approach.
Energy & Mechanical Systems Topics & Opinions
Buildings that produce more energy than they consume have moved from concept to increasingly common reality in recent years. But until a few months ago, no general, industry-wide agreement existed as to what exactly defined such a building.
Achieving net zero energy buildings requires knowledge of best real world strategies.
This new standard for green buildings will enable the transition from voluntary guidelines and programs to enforceable criteria that can be used by local, state or federal jurisdictions.
The road to high performing buildings is paved with high expectations — but, ultimately, it is measured performance that shows how energy efficient a building really is.


I noticed my old fridge was unable to stay cold. At first I assumed that constant opening had caused it to freeze up so I unplugged it and let it defrost completely as there was a layer of ice on the coils in the freezer. After plugging it back in ice is slowly forming on the inbound end of the evaporator coil. The evaporator fan works fine. I tested both the thermostat and the heater...
First testing of thermostat after removal showed it was open - no voltage across it. I placed it in a working freezer and after 10 minutes it had continuity, so it appears to be working. I tested the resistance of the heater element and it showed 30 Ohms.
I reattached the thermostat and plugged the fridge in. The voltage across the terminals to the heater was 100v AC (Which I found odd, as I expected 120?). So the thermostat was closed and sending voltage to the heater. The voltage directly to the thermostat was 40v AC.
Even though at least 100v AC is getting to the heating element, I still feel no heat coming from it.
I don't think this fridge has a defrost timer. I believe it is all controlled by electronics in the fridge side. Is it possible that the control board is the issue? Is there any way I can further test it?
Any other possible tests?
Edit: Over night last night I had it shut down for 5 minutes every hour via an outlet timer. After ~8 hours the freezer (empty, set at the manufacturer recommended 50% cold) was still only 39° F (measured via a wifi thermometer) and there was still ice on the first few inches of the input line after a 55m run, fridge was 62°F. The fridge side has drinks in it, but is set as warm as possible. If all were fine I would expect an empty freezer to cool down much faster than that right (even with the fridge being full)? Seems either... a) 5 minutes isn't long enough to actually defrost and the line is remaining frozen. b) 5m/hr is too often and the unit just can't keep up or c) there is still some unresolved issue.
Is it possible this is a refrigerant issue? Is there a more accurate test for that?
Edit: Looking at this answer: https://diy.stackexchange.com/a/141659/77713 I am inclined to think this is related to the compressor system / refrigerant. My coils look exactly like those shown in the last pic - iced at the input but no frost whatsoever below. So how do I diagnose this further? Or if that system is something I can't repair myself then is it even worth continuing to diagnose?
Edit: Based on other reading I'm just going to roll up my sleeves and install a valve on the compressor suction line and test the pressure there. A bullet piercing valve is easy to install and given that this fridge is probably 25 years old I'm not worried about voiding any sort of warranty. Although I haven't completely confirmed that the defrost heater works, I feel certain that the evaporator coils are not cooling properly (regardless of whether the heater works). So I'll need to address that issue first. Will update again soon.

A long lost T.S. Eliot cat poem was recently unearthed after 50 years. The discovery of Cumberleylaude the Gourmet Cat who ‘has a love of salmon, duck and expensive French wines’ has created extensive excitement in the literary world, with Andrew Lloyd Webber even rumoured to be rewriting the musical Cats to give him a part.
Despite the fact he was kept hidden for 50 years, we’re wondering if our new literary cat who is ‘a particularly fastidious eater’ is in fact a feline ahead of his time. An increasing number of people are ditching mass-produced pet foods in favour of cooking their own gourmet meals for their beloved pets, and several books on the subject have been published. It appears that this is a new and growing trend among cat and dog owners who want to give their pets a wholesome diet.
So why are more and more people resorting to cooking gourmet meals for their pets? For many, it’s as a result of their pet having an underlying medical condition – whether it’s weight gain, or issues such as irritable bowel syndrome. Indeed, many owners believe that their pet’s health condition is actually caused by off-the shelf foods that use low grade waste ingredients such as animal feet, eyes, necks, intestines and other carcass parts that would otherwise be thrown away. Other owners believe that all animals are individuals, and should be treated as such. Why would a Great Dane have the same nutritional requirements as a Chihuahua?
The question is, does cooking for your pet help increase their lifespan? There’s no evidence to suggest it does, and you do have to be very careful with what you feed them as you could actually cause bigger health problems. Vets warn that, if you're going to cook for your pet, you need to formulate a diet that has all the right nutrients, plus supplements, and in all the right proportions. It’s not as easy as it sounds. You should also be aware that there are some foods that are toxic to cats and dogs. They include onions, garlic, raisins, grapes, chocolate and macadamia nuts.
It’s a sad fact of life that pets do, and will, get unwell from time to time. Visits to the vet can be expensive, and if people can avoid this expense by cooking for their pet, then they will. But you could inadvertently cause bigger issues, so it’s best to seek advice from an expert before changing their diet. And if you’re worried about the ongoing cost of vet’s fees, then think about taking out some pet insurance. The earlier you start a policy the better, and it can save you thousands in the long run.

Rubber is one of the most important aspects of auto manufacturing. In fact, about 80 percent of rubber produced in America is used in the automotive industry. It is important to employ vast quantities of rubber for the development of modern automobiles. The heat generated in an engine made mostly of metal and carbonated materials would be too much to handle, and the friction would ruin car engines and other parts, too. Only a material that can withstand harsh conditions or the environment can be used to prevent this.
Automobile manufacturers rely heavily on the quality and performance of rubber. The great thing about rubber is that it is resistant to many chemicals used in vehicles.
Let’s take a look at the different uses of rubber in the auto industry.
A tire consists of a rubber ring around the rim of an automobile wheel. They are made up of 200 different types of raw materials. Tires provide a contact patch that is designed to match the weight of the vehicle. The materials used in the production of modern tires include synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric, wire and other chemical compounds.
There are four main hoses in an automobile: the fuel hose, radiator hose, power steering hose and heater hose. Hoses act as the circulatory system of a car. They are made with two rubber tubes and a wire, cotton or fabric between the rubbers.
Rubber belts help provide power for some key components in the vehicle. If the belt should break, all the engine parts that rely on it will stop, and sometimes it leads to the damage of the engine. Some of the engine parts are the power steering pump, cooling fan and much more.
Three types of belts are widely used in auto manufacturing: the timing belt, the serpentine belt and the V-belts. The serpentine belt is widely used in newer cars because they are easy to replace.
You wouldn’t want a situation where the flammable fluids inside your car engine are not working perfectly or by chance, they are leaking and getting to other parts of the engine. Seals, grommets and o-rings are rubber moldings that are found mostly in engines.
Seals are rubber components that are used to prevent vibrations, leaks and also noise in the engine. Grommets are materials that protect a hole from getting damaged, it also helps safeguard hoses and the materials inside. O-rings are mechanical gaskets used to prevent the escape of air and fluid. O-rings are used throughout your vehicle to ensure the safe movement of fluids flowing through hoses.
Cost of Failure
Rubber components might seem low on the scale of the importance of vehicle parts, but the cost of failure of these components can be quite high. It can result in loss of lives, debt and much more. Failure of rubber components can occur when they have not been changed for a long period of time. For example, a leak in the fuel hose of a car can lead to the engine getting insufficient fuel, which would be quite damaging to the engine.
Recently, there has been an increase in silicone rubbers being used in new vehicles as EPDM gets replaced. This is because the silicone rubbers can withstand more temperature rises. The silicone rubber resistance to a number of chemicals is the main reason why it is widely used in new vehicles, but still, they have to be changed when the time comes. If you keep driving in a car with a bad tire, your car won’t be able to move as it used to, and this could result in accidents.
Rubber Will Always Be Important to the Auto Industry
The importance of rubber to the auto industry in making cars safer and more durable cannot be overestimated. And perhaps we should stop trying to estimate it and focus more on being fully aware of the rubber components of our automobiles, to maintain them better.

The Blood of a Poet
The Blood of a Poet ★★½ Le Sang d'un Poete 1930
Cocteau's first film, a practically formless piece of poetic cinema, detailing all manner of surreal events occurring in the instant a chimney falls. In French with English subtitles. 55m/B VHS, DVD . Enrique Rivero, Feral Benga, Jean Des-bordes; D: Jean Cocteau; W: Jean Cocteau; C: Georges Perinal; M: Georges Auric.


If we were playing a word association game and I said, “fun Subaru,” your response would probably be, “BRZ.” For the past year or so, the BRZ has garnered more attention than the rest of the Subaru lineup combined. And that little rear-wheel-drive drift machine is a riot. But for a mere $300 beyond the BRZ’s $26,265 base price, you could have a car that’s faster, more comfortable, more year-round usable and potentially more orange. And it’s right there in the same showroom. No, not the Tribeca. I’m talking about the WRX.
Remember the WRX? This is the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive rally rocket that established Subaru’s performance credentials. And it’s still here, its 2.5-liter turbo flat four and 5-speed manual transmission transplanted into the latest Impreza. The WRX powertrain has been around for a few years, and 265 hp isn’t exactly shocking when Chevy rental cars are running around with 300 hp. But the character of the engine, and thus the car, shows through in its torque stat: 244 lb-ft at a lofty 4,400 rpm.
For comparison, a Volkswagen Golf R makes similar power — 256 horsepower and 243 lb-ft — but its torque peak arrives a full 2,000 rpm sooner. While turbocharged engines increasingly deliver linear power (see: the BMW M5 and its torque peak stretching from 1,500 to 5,750 rpm), the WRX harkens to a day when turbos were finicky all-or-nothing brutes. Indeed, the WRX has the power delivery of a rubber band snap to the temples. It’s nothing, nothing… wham! You’re flying. It’s crude fun, which is the best kind.
And the WRX’s talents are accessible year-round, in any condition. In fact, a muddy dirt road might be the best showcase for the WRX’s ability to turn raucous flat-four clatter into forward motion and rooster tails of gravel. The Subaru only weighs about 3,200 lbs., its low weight abetting agility and making those 265 horses feel like more.
This year there’s a special edition of the WRX that wears searing orange paint and billboard stickers that I estimate add at least 20 horsepower. The special-edition WRX is named, creatively enough, the WRX Special Edition, and Subaru is only building 200 examples of this model (plus another 100 of the WRX STI).
You know that whenever a special edition rolls out, big changes are afoot, and Subaru’s WRX concept car underscores that a shakeup is imminent. But in the meantime, the WRX remains an affordable way to stoke your World Rally Championship fantasies on your way to work. So next time someone asks if you’ve driven the fun Subaru, the correct response should be, “Which one?”

Sedgwick County Now Offering COVID-19 Third Dose to those with Moderately or Severely Weakened Immune Systems
(Sedgwick County, Kan.) – On Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2021, Sedgwick County Health Department (SCHD) will begin providing a no-cost third dose of Pfizer vaccine to people who self-attest to having a moderately or severely weakened immune system and who have previously received two doses of vaccine. Documentation of a qualifying condition is not a requirement. People who can receive a third dose should bring documentation of their first and second doses to the vaccine site.
This comes after Pfizer and Moderna third dose approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). People who can receive the third dose have one or more of the following conditions or treatments:
- Active treatment for solid tumor or hematologic malignancies
- Receipt of solid-organ transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy
- Receipt of CAR-T-cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppression therapy)
- Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (e.g., DiGeorge, Wiskott-Aldrich syndromes)
- Advanced or untreated HIV infection
- Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids (i.e., > 20mg prednisone or equivalent per day), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, TNF blockers, and other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory
The conditions do not include people who are pregnant, residents of adult care homes, or those with chronic medical conditions unless they have a condition or treatment listed above.
The additional dose is to be administered at least 28 days after the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Third dose guidance only applies to Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. There is not enough data to determine if an additional dose of Johnson and Johnson (J&J) vaccine will improve the immune response in people with weakened immune systems.
“In order to prevent severe illness and/or death during this pandemic, getting vaccinated is the best protection a person can do to protect themselves and loved ones,” says Adrienne Byrne, director of SCHD.

Adeell Tufail, head of Devices & Services Partnerships at Google, keynoted the CEDIA Tech Summit. He says the era of ambient computing is the next phase of technology for the home.
“The coming decade is the decade of the integrator,” says Adeel Tufail, head of devices and services partnerships at Google. “When you are thinking about who wants this stuff… at this point it is almost everybody. People want technology, but they cannot do it themselves.”
Tufail was the keynote speaker at the recent CEDIA Tech Summit in New Jersey, where he covered a range of topics during the keynote, addressing the upcoming Matter standard, voice control, the DIY market versus the Do-It-For-Me market, and the growth of professional installation.
Speaking to a crowd of about 75 attendees, he noted data from Google showing that while many consumers purchase Nest thermostats and Nest doorbells, they quickly find that they are not comfortable installing it on their own.
“We see it all the time with people thinking they can install it themselves and they can’t. They usually try to do it on their own, but most times cannot do it,” says Tufail. “There is more ‘Do It For Me’ than DIY.”
He says smart home technology requires digital settings and connections that older analog devices did not require. That means integrators will be able to charge consumers for installation labor for digital devices that they could not have earned for analog gear.
Tufail cited data that by 2023, the average U.S. home will have 21 connected devices. He touted voice control as a growing trend, noting that it is desired by Millennials, Gen Z, senior citizens, and people with special needs.
“Those are all key demographics for voice control and smart home technology,” he says.
Tufail says Google’s ultimate goal is the create a “Thoughtful Home,” and he played a well-produced video showing a family interacting with their Google Assistant to control their smart home.
To Google, a Thoughtful Home is more:
Helpful — It keeps you safe and secure
Contextual — It anticipates your needs and gets you things just the way you like them
Accessible — It helps each individual within a home be more productive, or helps them unwind
“We want a home to be ‘helpful’ and have an impact on the end user. It is something we live by,” he says, adding that the next decade will be the fastest technology evolution yet. He says the 2020s will be the era of “ambient computing” during which technology interacts all around us. He cited geofencing as an example of the early beginnings of ambient computing, and that voice recognition is a big element of ambient computing.
“Voice is not radically new. Google has been doing voice control for 11 years, but Google Assistant just brought it to the forefront,” he adds. “You already speak to your car. Naturally that same technology is going to come into the home. It will be seamless and 360 degrees around you. When it is easier to interact with technology, then people want more of it.”
““You can make $2 million in a year just being a smart home installer doing one system per day,” Tufail told the gathered audience.
He used the example of how much easier it is to adjust a thermostat via voice than it is to open an app and change the temperature.
“Your business model is not going to change with Google Assistant…it is only going to get better,” he added.
Among the statistics he cited is that 72% of consumers want smart devices with voice control capabilities. He also noted a CNET study that showed Google Assistant has a 92.5% accuracy rate for inquiries, compared to just 33.8% for Amazon Alexa, and just 31.8% for Samsung Bixby, and 28% ofor Apple HomePod.
Google Distinguishes ‘Home Automation’ as 5,000+-Square-Foot Homes
Tufail also says that Google makes a clear distinction between the “smart home” and “home automation.”
“Home automation is different from the smart home. Home automation is Crestron, Savant, Control4, and others for large homes. Large homes are almost like commercial setups; they need more than just smart home devices. Homes over 5,000 square feet need home automation, not smart home devices…99% of homes are smart homes, but only 1% are big homes,” he explains. “Dealers are vital in creating the experience for the end user. That’s why Google recommends professional installation for all of our Nest devices.”
Tufail believes integrators can create a strong business model by targeting smaller homes and simply installing smart home devices that can be deployed in one day.
“You can make $2 million in a year just being a smart home installer doing one system per day,” he says. He went on the offer an example of how naturally an integrator can migrate a customer from an initial query to install a Nest thermostat to a Nest Protect smoke detector, Nest Protect cameras, Nest Doorbell, integrated Nest/Yale smart doorlock, and then add Google Assistant voice control. With the Google Assistant in the home, it then opens the door for conversations about controlling lights, music and TV. Of course, the entire system needs to be supported by an enterprise-grade network.

The Nursing Home
James J. Murphy III
L&J Publishing, Sep 17 2010, $14.00
The son of eighty-four year old Morris Grover can no longer cope with living in the same house as his father. Confined to a wheelchair and dependent on his family, Morris constantly makes demands of them. Morris continually fights with the three people he shares the house with until they cannot stand being with him. Sam and his wife Lila forcibly place Morris in a Florida nursing home. He quickly hates the horrific smell and the terrible tasting food. The biggest shock is the abuse the staff heap on the residents. Morris soon meets some men who not just think similar to him, but respect and like him.
At first a series of patients die unexpectedly, but the staff is dying as well and they are getting nastier especially the abusers. The police investigate but find no evidence to arrest anyone although circumstantially wheelchair bound Morris is a person of interest even though the killer had to be able to stand. Four determined teenagers and two of cops investigate who are killing the residents and staff of Riggs Nursing Home.
On top of the guilt of having to place a loved one in a nursing home, this thriller is a double sword horror tale as readers will cringe with what humans do to the elderly while there is also a supernatural spin to the fine mystery. Thus The Nursing Home grips readers on two levels with the abuse being the more horrific as that is realistically portrayed. However, it is the paranormal element that ties the homicides and other incidents together into a enthralling reading experience.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm feeling a bit confused as I had 4 faint positives around 7 days ago but now all negatives. I got a FRER and that was -ve too.
4 false +ves seems unlikely. Could it be a chemical pregnancy? I really felt pregnant too but symptoms have eased off.
I didn't intend to fall pregnant right now but feeling a bit sad about it now.
Thanks in advance xx
