标题: VW Specifically Goes With “94” Number For I.D. R Pikes Peak [打印本页] 作者: aatest 时间: 2018-6-13 01:46 标题: VW Specifically Goes With “94” Number For I.D. R Pikes Peak (, 下载次数: 7)
Can you guess why did the company go for 94?
Two weeks before the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Volkswagen has revealed its outfit for the 12.42-mile (19.99-kilometer) track 14,110 feet (4,300 meters) above sea level. The VW I.D. R Pikes Peak will come in grey and will carry the number “94” for a good reason.
Grey is the hallmark color of the brand’s I.D. family, which makes the inclusion of the fully-electric race car official. If you ask us, grey looks good for the I.D. R and kind of mysterious-looking for a car that’s essentially faster than a Formula 1 car.
What adds identity to the I.D. R is the number 94 that it would be wearing. It stands for I (9) and D (4). Yes, something so obvious was hiding in plain sight for a second. You’re not alone if you didn't realize that sooner, though.
“As is standard in American motor racing, the organizers allowed us to select our own start number. The 94 was our express wish, as it symbolizes the letters ‘I’ and ‘D’ – the ninth and fourth letters in the alphabet,” explains Volkswagen Motorsport Director Sven Smeets.
The 680-horsepower (500-kilowatt) I.D. R is all set to break lap times at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, driven by the defending champ Romain Dumas, who has set top times on the race track on three occasions: 2014, 2016, and 2017. The current record is at 8:57.118 back in 2016, while the quickest time was set by the Peugeot 208 T16at 8:13.878.
The I.D. R is still at doing final test runs and setup work. Dumas will return to Europe after the testing, wherein he’ll drive for Porsche at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the weekend before the Pikes Peak. As soon as Le Mans is over, he’ll fly back to Colorado. We just hope his hectic schedule and time differences won’t take toll on him.

The Volkswagen I.D. R is currently a prototype fully electric vehicle, part of Volkswagen's I.D. project and Volkswagen's R series, designed specifically for competing in Motorsport events. It is Volkswagen first fully electric racing car
The Volkswagen I.D. will compete for the first time in the Pikes Peak International Hill climb in Colorado Springs, CO, on June 24, 2018, and is looking forward to beating the existing electric car record of 8:57.118 minutes (Set by Rhys Millen in 2016 using the e0 PP100) . The car will be driven by Volkswagen's ace driver, Romain Dumas.

TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man who authorities say attempted to use Cheetos to accelerate a fire at his ex-girlfriend’s home while she was inside has been convicted of malicious destruction of property.
The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office says a jury convicted 31-year-old Shemroy Williams, of Taunton, on Wednesday. He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years behind bars.
Crews responded to a home in March after the woman and her friend reported that Williams was trying to light it on fire.
Authorities say an investigation revealed Williams wedged a propane tank against the house while a fire on the back porch was burning.
Police say they located Williams in the area with two lighters in his pocket and an empty bag of Cheetos. Investigators determined Williams tried to use Cheetos to accelerate the fire.

I looked in the bottom of the box to see if Peavey had included a truss. Alas no. This 100w combo is a cracker of an amp, the best of their's I've ever tested, but it ain't 'alf heavy.
Peavey technology that perfected the robust Black Widow speakers has gone on to develop the two cheaper 12in Scorpions used here, with a claim that their timbre is similar to Celestions.
I'd disagree. I found them harder and gutsier speakers, and was favourably impressed.
The bold Peavey insignia and aluminium side panels around the black cloth add dash to the overall looks, though I wouldn't have objected to spending a few more notes for castors, a large footswitch (too easy to hit two buttons at once) and some indicator LEDs to show what channel you're on.
Extras are a reverb (okay) and a phaser (quiet and deep) which can be frozen in mid sweep for special tonal effects. Though the Classic uses 6L6s, the most common tube in American amps, the circuit has been gimmicked so it will adapt to alternatives, providing they have the same pin configuration. It will detract from power and performance and Peavey urge that it should only be used as a temporary measure, but it will get you out of a hole at a gig.
The two channels are clean, with a single gain control, and dirty which has pre and master volumes plus a special trick called "Saturation".
I believe the firm have it patented and here lies the secret. I've seldom come across an amplifier that gives such an incredibly fine control over the amount of distortion available, and its tone.
If you imagine that the pre control dictates the amount of edge at the beginning of the note, then the Saturation fills in the overload behind it, you might have grasped 25 per cent of what this circuit can do. It was a joy to use.
The clean channel had plenty of headroom before it too began to break up (certain combos can con you in this regard).
The valves ensured warmth, the tone controls created power, the speakers generated bite and the weight gave you blisters. Still, a small price to pay.

Kin Insurance said it has upgraded its reinsurance program to enhance its disaster protection and beef up its ability to serve catastrophe prone regions, particularly in light of worsening climate change.
The Chicago-based direct-to-consumer InsurTech and home insurance startup explained the new program includes backing from more than 42 “blue chip” reinsurers and ensures a first-event loss at the 1-in-160-year probability is covered. That’s higher than the 1 in every 130-year loss requirement typically found in the industry, Kin noted.
Additionally, the program also includes more than $300 million in reinsurance for hurricane events, and most of the reinsurers have an A- or higher financial rating from A.M. Best.
Participating reinsurers include PartnerRe, Arch Re, Swiss Re and the Lloyd’s marketplace, the company said.
Kin noted in its reinsurance announcement that climate change acceleration is creating stronger and more frequent extreme weather events such as hurricanes, which make the chance of insured losses much higher. The company argues that “taller reinsurance protection” helps better protect both insureds and the company.
With the new program, Kin said it reduced reinsurance costs as a percentage of premium while also reducing risk retention as a percentage of premium in a big way.
Kin, which launched in 2016, implemented its reinsurance revamp a month after announcing plans to go public through a SPAC deal and pursue a national expansion.
In a subsequent interview with Carrier Management, Kin co-founder and CEO Sean Harper said he envisions growing Kin into an “iconic” competitor that plays a crucial role in its customers’ lives.

When the camera is activated for the first time and the Command Wheel is set into the green zone, then taking pictures with the Coolpix 5400 is a piece of cake! But one who feels attracted to using one of the many settings will experience the world of digital photography to his cost! The various settings appear on the LCD monitor in 33 different symbols. Turning the Command Wheel one directly gets into the menu for Exposure mode like Aperture and Shutter speed. Selecting the A, the user can choose his/her own Aperture. The Aperture range is f2.8 till f7.9 in 28mm setting and from f4.6 till f7.3 in 116mm. The camera automatically chooses the right Shutter speed to obtain the best result. Opposed to the A we’ll find the S: Shutter speed priority. Manually the fast Shutter speed of 1/4000e can be reached, and when the camera is set in the so-called Ultra HS setting (320x240 pixels) it can reach a shutter speed of1/8000e. P mode offers a complete automatic setting of the camera. Both Shutter speed and Aperture are set automatically (considering brightness of the surroundings) to obtain the best results possible. One who wishes to make a picture totally independently chooses the M-mode, so he/she will have full control over the Shutter speed and Aperture. On the LCD monitor will appear a bar to show the under- or overexposure until 2 EV steps. (+ / - ).
The built-in flash has a range of 4.5 meters in 28mm setting but decreases very fast to 2.8 in 116mm setting. The flash exposes the subject excellently and has a very natural reproduction of the colours. The camera features various flash modes such as: Auto, Flash Cancel, Always Flash, Red Eye Reduction, Slow-Sync, and Rear Curtain Sync. All modes appear with a different symbol on the LCD display, except for the Auto mode. I would not recommend an ISO value of 400 when using the flash because over-exposure will be the result. A mode that can give you beautifully exposed images is the mode that enables you to use the built-in as well as the external Nikon Speedlight flash at the same time. To do so, choose the option Int & Ext active in the menu.
The Focus menu features 3 different settings: AF-Area mode, Auto-focus mode and Focus confirmation. The AF-Area mode enables the user to choose a certain area to focus. There is a choice of 5 areas. This option is useful when the camera doesn’t change its position but the area does change. The AF-Area mode features 3 modes: Auto, Manual, and Off. In Auto mode focus is only determined when the Shutter button is halfway pressed and only on the subject closest to the camera. The focus field will lighten up in the LCD monitor. Manual mode enables to select one of the 5 focus fields, so the subject can be focused very precisely. When the AF-Mode is turned off the focus will only take place in the centre of the image. No focus field will appear in the monitor.
The Auto-focus mode can be set to a mode in which the camera constantly adjusts the focus (continuous AF) or the camera adjusts the focus when pressing the Shutter button halfway down (Single AF).There are a few advantages and disadvantages to this. The continuous AF mode will lower the battery energy fast but it is possible to make photographs without loosing time. The Single AF mode is being used automatically when the monitor is not being used and no battery capacity is being wasted. The Focus Confirmation shows the focus fields very clearly on the monitor. By the way, when there are no activities detected for more than 1 minute (3 minutes when monitor is activated) the camera will automatically set to stand-by mode.
The camera has too many settings to mention here but a few of them are: Self-timer with a deceleration from 3 or 10 seconds, Exposure correction from 2 stops under- or overexposure in steps of 1/3 stop, Auto Bracketing, Noise Reduction, Image sharpening, Image Adjustment, Saturation Control, Exposure Options available time: up until 10 minutes and recommendable to turn ON the Noise Reduction, 8 different White Balance options and ISO option of 50 to 400 ISO.
The Coolpix 5400 is the first one of the Nikon cameras to offer a setting of 50 ISO value. It looks like Nikon has the fact of digital Noise under control. The images hardly show any disturbing noise. The Image Quality can be set to different compression levels and data formats. So it is possible to store images in TIFF or JPEG format. Questioning INCA, Dutch importer of Nikon products, learns that a firmware is expected to enable to store RAW images as well. The images taken by the Coolpix 5400 seem to have a higher resolution than the Coolpix 5000. Thanks to the new type of image sensor.
A very extensive setting is the Continuous Shooting mode. The so-called: 5-shot Buffer mode. In this mode the camera continuously captures frames at a rate of 1.5 frames per second, but only the last 5 images are being saved. The other modes are: Continues L (1.5 frame per second), Continuous H (3 frames per second, maximum of 7), Multi-Shot 16 (16 small frames continuously of 648x486 pixels at a rate of 3 frames per second stored as a 4x4 array in one image of 2592x1944 pixels), Ultra HS ( maximum of 100 frames with a rate of 30 frames per second, resolution of 320x240 pixels, and Single mode (one shot at the time).
Besides the possibility of taking images with a high resolution of 5 Megapixels, the camera also records high resolution moving images. In Movie mode the camera captures images at a rate of 15 per second and records them in a resolution of 640x480 pixels. The maximum recording time is about 70 seconds. Cameras already exist that perform a recording rate of 30 frames per second, but the resolution of 640x480 makes it more fun to watch than the ?older’ resolution of 320x240 pixels.


We've heard about what to expect from AMD for its next-gen Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card, which you can read all about here -- but then there's the Radeon RX 6800 XT.
AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 6800 XT is based on the Navi 21 XT GPU, which is slightly cut down GPU from the flagship Navi 21 XTX inside of the Radeon RX 6900 XT. We have 72 Compute Units (compared to 80) and 4608 Stream Processors (compared to 5120).
The same 16GB of GDDR6 memory is here with a 256-bit memory bus, while GPU clocks should find themselves reaching 2015MHz game clock and under 2250MHz for boost clocks. Keep in mind these clocks are for the reference model of the graphics card, while custom cards will be faster -- by 100-200MHz or more.

How much wheatgrass can my rabbit eat?
Wheatgrass is safe to be eaten by rabbits that are at least 12 weeks old. You should also limit the amount you give your rabbits to 15 grams when it’s the first time you’re giving it then gradually increase over time.
Can rabbits eat sunflower shoots?
Sunflower, Helianthus, is only one of many plants that rabbits find attractive. The rabbits will eat every part of sunflowers, including the seeds and flowers. Make a natural pesticide with 2 tablespoons each of cayenne pepper and garlic powder.
Can rabbits eat cauliflower?
Cauliflower. Cauliflower is a veggie, so it’d be a perfect, healthy snack for your rabbit, right? Surprisingly, no. Although vegetables are an ideal addition to the high-fiber hay that bunny diets require, cauliflower causes rabbits to bloat and become gassy.
Can rabbits eat broccoli sprouts?
Some veggies to try include cilantro, parsley (flat- and curly-leaf), mint leaves, carrot tops, beet tops, radish tops, radicchio, endive, escaroles, broccoli sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, kale, spinach, unsprayed and washed dandelion and violet leaves, dark green lettuce (never iceberg), collard greens, chopped celery, …

Somewhere in the darkness. I know not the hour, for there is no bedside analog, nor the ticking and tolling of the hour and half-hour that marked the passage of night from the mantle of my youth. I may be awake or asleep, or in some space between where the conscious and subconscious dance the Valse triste, a bony hand lightly placed in the small of his fleshy partner’s back. A light film of dust arises from the shuffle of sinew and bone across this ancient ballroom floor.
Everyone will waltz if they have seen enough sunsets. The very young may be spared. Not enough memories. Balance sheet heavy on happiness, the burden of sadness and regret entered in pencil in the margin of their thin ledger.
Thirty-seven years gone by. Few dreams of him until lately.
He is as I remember him, the age at which he passed. I suppose it is cognitively impossible to remember someone older than they were, even more impossible to see yourself older than they. I am younger in these dreams, even though the timeline is skewed or bent beyond the linear.
She is there too. Young. Aloof. Oblivious. Too pretty and unfettered to notice my presence in the shadows. Or perhaps I know that she does, and this is the wound that will not heal.
These dreams are always a slant-wise remembrance, youthful sorrow. More often the learning of sorrow, for such must be learned by the young. The loss of an innocence, a summation or accumulation of singular events that make a young heart old before its time.
Always a moment, just when my heart begins to break, that I notice that he is at my side. Never a word. No expression. No comfort or advice. Just present.
I sometimes awake in a cold sweat, bearings lost for the moment, a solitary traveler seeking a trail-sign — a broken branch, a boot-print. Passage through the dripping fog and darkness of an ancient forest. My breath heavy. Heart pierced.
In the light of day I am told that there is no point in looking back. Best not go there. Give no lodging to regrets. The past cannot be altered and my time is thin. She tells me I am beyond the mid-point, that I should focus on the days I have left. No sense sifting through the ashes, looking for relics either happy or sad. Eyes forward. Make memories for those you will leave behind.
This is cheerful advice, meant-well and well-paid. But the truth is our days past are all we do have. A summation. The one true mystery of the quotient. Because a word spoken cannot be brought back across the lips onto a sharp tongue. A sight will not be unseen, nor a sound unheard. Acts forgiven, yes, but never forgotten.
A man cannot un-think a thought.
And so I am left with him in the night, unsettled and wondering at the meaning of his presence in this time and place, after so many years of absence. Is he here to witness the sum of my sorrows, or simply to remind that I will be joining him soon?
10 thoughts on “Nocturnus”
This is certainly a departure from your usual writings. But it intrigued me to take this story apart paragraph by paragraph to try and understand this event. Deep dreams for sure of someone you once cared for…a brother? A best friend? Yes, reflections on your youth and how they affect when becoming an adult. The clock ticks, the hands turn. The backside of 40 as the song sings. Things we can’t undo nor ever recapture either by actions or a softer tongue. The carrying of a torch for a love unacknowledged by her. Dreams are just that..dreams. Bits and pieces of what flitters through our minds each day only to be randomly pieced together at night. Of course I hope your friend isn’t visiting to remind you of joining him anytime soon. Lets think there are many more Words Not On Paper that need to be put on paper.
Thank you, Leisa. I like to write something different once in a while, just to see if I can. Your analysis may be better than the story. Thanks for taking that much time to think about it.
Very nice, Ray.
A haunting and powerful piece, a masterful voice sharing a night song of yearning and sorrow, art bending the limits of bone; indeed, you have a gift my friend.
Thank you, Kim. I appreciate your kind words.
Hello my friend! Always enjoy your writing especially since we both travel the same road and
share a lot of those experiences.
Thanks brother. We have been down the same road. Give me a shout next time you’re around Sylacauga.
What a beautiful sharing of your heart, thoughts, and dreams. You are truly a special writer, proud to be your Cuz !!
Thank you Cherri. Loved that vintage photo of your beautiful mom on Facebook.

Choice Hotels Creates Application for Apple's Internet
First Global App from a Hotel Company

To help ease the travel planning process for the millions of iPhone users, Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE:CHH) continues to be a pioneer in the emerging channels of hospitality eCommerce with the launch of the Choice Hotels Locator iPhone application. This free-of-charge application allows users to book rooms anytime, anywhere using one of the most popular wireless devices available on the market.

Good place to stayPosted Jul 13, 2015
Pros: Location, service, cleanliness, good maintenance.
Location: On north side of Midland near restaurants and shopping.
We were in Midland visiting family and used the hotel as our base. Staff was courteous and efficient. Breakfast was good. Rooms were spacious and clean. Location was very convenient for our purposes.

Hotel is ok, not very clean.Posted Jan 28, 2015
Pros: Friendliness of the staff, location was nice for where my meeting was, although nothing is very far from anything in Midland. Felt safe enough.
Cons: Maid service needs to step up their game. Not all of the guests are oilfield hands that come in so exhausted all they see is a pillow.
Location: There's a wine bar in walking distance from hotel and a couple other restaurants also.
Obviously a hotel frequented by oilfield hands (as are most in the M/O area). Staff was very friendly, the outside and lobby area of the hotel were in good condition and seemed clean (didn't spend much time in lobby, but it appeared clean). However my room on the 2nd floor wasn't clean. Sticky cup rings/ spills on the night stand, hair in the shower, the sofa was broken ( I didn't sit on it, I actually never do in hotels ) but it had a severe lean to it like it was missing both legs on the right side. I tried not to look much deeper, because I did actually want to be able to get some sleep for my meeting the next day. However I slept in a long sleeved shirt, pants and socks.

Nice PlacePosted Oct 20, 2014
We stayed on a weekend so there was no oil field traffic to speak of. The night shift lady was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Sunday breakfast was good and the area very clean. You would not think this is usually busy with oil field folks. We will schedule this hotel again.

Fire alarm wake up call,,,,,No water...Posted Feb 5, 2014
All was great. Friendly staff. Quite room. Three false fire alarms in the morning and no water for morning shower was the only negative of our stay. A courtesy call or check up would be advised. Great breakfest in the morning made all thing better.

Very pleasant staff, nice accomodations, worth itPosted Oct 11, 2013
Pros: It is very clean and well taken care of.
Cons: The only thing about my room that was even remotely negative was that the bed was somewhat uncomfortable (for me it was too hard).
Location: Abuelo's (mexican food) is in walking distance. Good food and good bar. Shogun's is also in walking distance, decent sushi.
I checked in late on Sunday night Oct 6 and stayed three nights. The staff was very accomodating and professional. The room was above my expectations. The only maintenance issues I noticed in my room were a cracked tile in the bathroom and a missing lightbulb in the reading lamp. Neither of these were significant enough to bother me. The room quality and value overall was excellent.
for Everyoneby Benita from Texas

Go Further with Food
March 5, 2021
“You are what you eat.” We’ve all heard it, and many of us have jokingly used the common saying amongst one another. But there really is a kernel of truth there. Eating healthy can help us be healthy. There’s never a bad time to talk about healthy eating, but March is an especially good opportunity because it’s National Nutrition Month® – a time to focus on making smart food choices, establishing healthy eating habits and ensuring that we are doing what we can to reduce food waste. Did you know that it’s estimated that an average 300 pounds of food per person is thrown away each year? This is a reminder for all of us to get the most out of what we eat while wasting the least. Here are a few simple ways you can help make your food go further.
Switch it up
They say variety is the spice of life. It’s also a key building block of healthy eating. Different foods provide different nutrients. Incorporating a variety of foods from all of the food groups into your daily diet helps ensure that your body is getting the most nutrients possible. Healthy salads and well-balanced meals are a great way to keep variety at the center.
Before you visit the grocery store, take inventory of your pantry, fridge and freezer. Check expiration dates and “best used by” dates to see what you need to consume first before buying more, and research healthy recipes that use these items. Then, fill out your grocery list with what you really need for the week.
Healthy eating is a lot easier than you might think, especially with a little preparation. Pick a morning or afternoon and prepare your healthy lunches for the week ahead. A few hours one afternoon can save you a lot of time throughout the week and keep you accountable to healthy eating habits.
Make your food work for you. Be creative and look for ways to repurpose leftovers into brand new meals. Turn those last couple of chicken breasts and leftover roasted vegetables into a cozy stew or mix your leftover pasta with some fresh veggies for a pasta salad for lunch the next day. You’ll be stretching your food dollar without stretching your waistline!
Ask for advice
Talk with a local nutritionist or dietitian about making your food go further. They’ll have some great ideas for healthy eating habits and choices that both fit your individual lifestyle and help cut down on food waste.
If you’d like more information on how you can help your food go further, visit www.eatright.org, or call 435.637.4800 to schedule an appointment with a dietitian.

Had actor Paul Walker been alive, he would have turned 42 today. It's hard to believe that it has been two years since the actor lost his life in an unfortunate car accident.
His last film from the Fast & Furious franchise has set new records in terms of success. Worldwide, it is the fifth highest-grossing film of all time, the second highest-grossing film of 2015, the highest-grossing film in The Fast and the Furious franchise and is the second highest-grossing Universal Pictures film.
The film paid a touching musical tribute to the late actor through See You Again, which became a global hit.
As fans across the world remember the talented actor on his birthday, we have picked this close to three-minute video tribute to Walker featuring childhood clips of the actor. The clips emphasise the close bond shared by him and his brother Cody Walker. The video also has footage of Cody talking about his brother and how enthusiatic and "awesome" he used to be.

Clarksville is a town in Clark County, Indiana, United States, along the Ohio River and is a part of the Louisville Metropolitan area. The population was 22,333 at the 2020 census.The town was founded in 1783 by early resident George Rogers Clark at the only seasonal rapids on the entire Ohio River, it is the oldest American town in the former Northwest Territory. The town is home to the Colgate clock, one of the largest clocks in the world and the Falls of the Ohio State Park, home to the world's largest exposed Devonian period fossil bed.
The site that would become Clarksville was first used as a base of operations by George Rogers Clark during the American Revolutionary War. In 1778 he established a post on an island at the head of the Falls of the Ohio, from which he trained his 175-man regiment. After the war, Clark was granted a tract of 150,000 acres (610 km2) for his services in the war. In 1783, 1,000 acres (4 km2) were set aside for the development of a town, Clarksville. The same year a stockade was built and settlement began.
The explorer William Clark was a younger brother of George Rogers Clark. Historian Stephen Ambrose writes of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in Undaunted Courage , "When they shook hands [at Clarksville], the Lewis and Clark Expedition began." A two-figure statue near the falls commemorates the expedition. Several localities other than Clarksville claim precedence for the start of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, most notably St. Louis, Missouri.
Due to the many floods in the nineteenth century and the Indiana Canal Company's failed competition to build a canal around the Ohio Falls, the town struggled. On August 24, 1805 the Indiana Territorial Legislature authorized the construction of a canal around the Falls of the Ohio at Clarksville. The first attempt failed and the investors lost their money. Historians believe it was used to finance the conspiracy of Aaron Burr. Developers tried to build a canal in 1817 and again in 1820. But the race to build the canal was lost in 1826 when the federal government made a large grant to build the Louisville and Portland Canal. The lack of a canal handicapped the growth of the town as the Falls of the Ohio made river transport from the city difficult.
Clarksville became a popular dueling spot for Kentuckians who wanted to dodge their home state's anti-dueling laws. The most famous of these was the 1809 duel between Henry Clay and Humphrey Marshall.There was an attempt to build a second town within Clarksville's boundaries, named Ohio Falls City, until the Indiana Supreme Court ruled that this would be illegal.
The town was managed by a ten-member Board of Trustees in the charter from Virginia.The trustees were allowed to align lots along roads and sell the lots for the proceeds to benefit the town. The trustees could elect replacements as needed and did not have to reside in the town. This remained controversial with residents until 1889 when the board stopped meeting and was replaced by a three-member board. One member was selected by the Floyd County Commissioners, one by the Clark County Commissioners, and one by residents of Clarksville. Between 1889 and 1937, the town established a five-member board entirely elected by residents. The historic records related to this governmental change were lost in the Ohio River flood of 1937.
The Great Flood of 1937 decimated the town. The entire town was submerged beneath as much as 12 feet (3.7 m) of water in some areas for over three weeks during January and February. With almost all of the old town destroyed, Clarksville was rebuilt with a new modern city plan.
The post-World War II housing boom and new jobs brought growth to the city. The population increased from 2,400 in 1940 to 22,000 in 2000. The city has expanded to the north by annexing several sizable suburbs. By 1981 the State of Indiana changed statutes to convert the managing board of trustees to a council with members rather than trustees. In 1990 voters approved expansion of members of the Town Council from five to seven following the area growth.Clarksville is now the major shopping hub of Southern Indiana, with the hub area centered on Lewis and Clark Parkway and nearby Veterans Parkway.
Clarksville is located at(38.311885, -85.767265).
According to the 2010 census, Clarksville has a total area of 10.17 square miles (26.34 km2), of which 9.97 square miles (25.82 km2) (or 98.03%) is land and 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2) (or 1.97%) is water.

Brawlimation: An epic community fan art challenge
Brawl Stars players are young, passionate and creative. They’re also inundated with competitor games every single day! Our job is to keep them engaged with the world of Brawl Stars and keep them playing and collaborating together, so we decided to set them a creative challenge like no other.
The Brawl Stars players just love fan art – it’s a BIG part of the community. We wanted to harness their creativity with a massive fan art challenge. The ask? To colour in one still frame of an animation, which we would stitch together into a massive, community-made film, built from the very best entries. Then, we’d give those who were featured real in-game rewards.
What We Did
Working with our in-house animation studio, This Thing of Ours, we crafted a film crammed full of action – making any frame that the community chose interesting and worthy of their time.
Our action-packed, black and white, frame-by-frame animation showed some of the most popular Brawl Stars characters in action. To make sure each entry would be seen clearly in the final film, the frame rate was dropped to 12 f/s, allowing players to scroll through and admire each individual work of art.
We then dropped the B&W frames in batches on Reddit, over five weeks, with nudges across owned social media channels. The community chose their favourite frame, coloured it in however they wanted, then re-shared it back on the channel.
Then, after careful consideration, we made our shortlist of 297 frames (from at least 3 times as many entries) and stitched the final film together. All featured players took home 100 Gems, and we even had a credit sequence that gave everyone who took part a shout-out
This ticked all the right boxes. This was my favourite community project and we’re really proud of the finished video.
Ryan Lighton, Community Manager - Brawl Stars.
The end product blew us away. And so did the engagement! With over 2.1 million organic YouTube views, 98% likes, supremely high audience retention (72% average viewed), and countless comments asking when the next challenge would start, the players loved it.

Background: We intended to evaluate diagnostic utility of a targeted gene sequencing by using next generation sequencing (NGS) panel in patients with intractable early-onset epilepsy (EOE) and find the efficient analytical step for increasing the diagnosis rate. Methods: We assessed 74 patients with EOE whose seizures started before 3 years of age using a customized NGS panel that included 172 genes. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and exonic and chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs) were intensively examined with our customized pipeline and crosschecked with commercial or pre-built software. Variants were filtered and prioritized by in-depth clinical review, and finally classified according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. Each case was further discussed in a monthly consensus meeting that included the participation of all laboratory personnel, bioinformaticians, geneticists, and clinicians. Results: The NGS panel identified 28 patients (37.8%) with genetic abnormalities; 25 patients had pathogenic or likely pathogenic SNVs in 17 genes including SXTBP1 (n = 3), CDKL5 (n = 2), KCNQ2 (n = 2), SCN1A (n = 2), SYNGAP1 (n = 2), GNAO1 (n = 2), KCNT1 (n = 2), BRAT1, WWOX, ZEB2, CHD2, PRICKLE2, COL4A1, DNM1, SCN8A, MECP2, SLC9A6 (n = 1). The other 3 patients had pathogenic CNVs (2 duplications and 1 deletion) with varying sizes (from 2.5 Mb to 12 Mb). The overall diagnostic yield was 37.8% after following our step-by-step approach for clinical consensus. Conclusions: NGS is a useful diagnostic tool with great utility for patients with EOE. Diagnostic yields can be maximized with a standardized and team-based approach.

One of my proudest moments as a journalist … I canvassed the ground during recovery efforts to get first hand accounts of a tornado and its impact on a small neighborhood. I also took extensive photos, some of which can be found in the photos section of my resume site.
I am proud to have broken this story before any other local news outlets. A second Whole Foods to be built in East Sarasota County was criticized by the county environmental officials who said it would destroy critical wetlands.
I was intrigued by a proposal to change the definition of a mural and talked to some folks in different neighborhoods to see what they thought about the rules.
I won an investigative journalism award from the Florida Press Association for this piece in their 2014 Better Weekly Newspapers contest

Giant Lollipop Cookies
Fun to give and fun to get, these cheerful and colorful cookie lollipops will bring smiles and sweetness (without sticking to teeth!).
It may take a couple of tries to learn this technique, but once you master it, you’ll get a thrill as you roll each cookie and see the swirl you create. (You can practice with play dough!)
You will need:
Any cookie dough can work for this, but the dough has to be as soft as possible for it to work properly (soft but not sticky). For best results, do not refrigerate the dough.
- Divide the dough into five equal parts. Add a generous amount of food coloring to each part and mix well. Roll each color into four even balls. Each cookie will need one of each color.
- Arrange the balls in a flower shape.
- Squeeze the five balls together gently to form a ball.
- Place the ball in the palm of your left hand. (If you are a lefty in your right hand.) It should like a flower in your hand. Slightly cup you left hand (vise versa for lefties.)Place your other hand on top and roll the ball in a rotating movement between your hands to create a swirl.
You can decide if you like the top of the cookie swirl or the bottom of the cookie swirl better. Flatten slightly if desired.
5. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet, stick the skewer in about half way and bake about 20-25 minutes till the bottom is slightly browned.
6.Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
7. Place cookie in cellophane and tie with ribbon.

Wholesale fashion dental protective glasses have become an essential accessory for dental professionals. These glasses not only provide eye protection but also add a touch of style to their overall appearance. With the increasing awareness about the importance of eye safety， it is crucial for dental clinics to invest in high-quality protective glasses for their staff.
One of the primary reasons why dental professionals need protective glasses is to shield their eyes from various hazards that they encounter during their work. Dental procedures involve the use of sharp instruments， chemicals， and high-velocity particles that can cause serious eye injuries. These glasses are designed to provide a barrier between the eyes and these potential dangers， ensuring the safety of dental professionals.
Wholesale fashion dental protective glasses offer several advantages over traditional safety goggles. Apart from their primary function of eye protection， these glasses are available in a wide range of stylish designs and colors. Dental professionals can now choose glasses that match their personal style and add a touch of flair to their overall appearance. This not only helps in boosting their confidence but also creates a positive impression on their patients.
Furthermore， these glasses are made from high-quality materials that are durable and long-lasting. They are specifically designed to withstand the demands of a dental clinic environment， including exposure to different chemicals and sterilization procedures. Dental professionals can be assured that their protective glasses will not lose their protective capabilities over time and will continue to provide reliable eye safety.
Another advantage of buying wholesale fashion dental protective glasses is cost-effectiveness. Dental clinics have several staff members， and buying these glasses in bulk from wholesale suppliers ensures cost savings. Wholesale buying allows dental clinics to benefit from discounted prices and bulk purchase deals， resulting in savings that can be redirected towards other necessary equipment or investments.
Moreover， wholesale fashion dental protective glasses meet the required industry standards for eye protection. These glasses undergo rigorous testing to ensure that they provide adequate protection against various potential hazards. Dental professionals can have peace of mind knowing that their eyes are well-protected by glasses that have gone through thorough evaluation and compliance checks.
In conclusion， wholesale fashion dental protective glasses are an essential accessory for dental professionals. They provide eye protection against various hazards encountered during dental procedures. These glasses not only offer a high level of safety but also come in trendy designs and colors， allowing dental professionals to maintain their fashionable look. Buying wholesale ensures cost savings and ensures that the glasses meet industry standards. Dental clinics should consider investing in these protective glasses to ensure the well-being and style of their staff.

This course will focus on the systematic review process to identify, critically appraise and summarise data from diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies. DTA studies evaluate the performance of a diagnostic test, for example to gauge how good a test is at discriminating between diseased and non-diseased persons. A systematic review is a useful design to summarise all evidence on the clinical performance of a diagnostic test for a specific disease or condition.
This course starts with a basic introduction to what a DTA study is and what estimates such as sensitivity and specificity mean. Thereafter, the course participants are introduced to the steps involved in the conduct of a high quality systematic review. Friday afternoon and Saturday, we will focus on the planning, organisation and conduct of the statistical analyses (meta-analyses).
The target audience of the course are epidemiologists, statisticians and others who wish to conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses of DTA studies. Participants should have a basic understanding of general statistical and epidemiological principles. Although exercises are done in STATA and RevMan, no prior experience with these packages is required.
- Understand the different objectives and designs of DTA studies
- Understand the basic elements of a thorough literature search for DTA studies
- Understand potential risk of bias and concerns regarding applicability of DTA study results
- Understand the concepts underlying different approaches to metaanalysis of DTA studies
- Perform different types of meta-analyses of DTA studies (in RevMan and Stata)
- Describe summary estimates and interpret results from meta-analyses appropriately

When a prestigious company such as Oakley joins forces with Brain Dead, a company known for its bold experimentation, any style-conscious lover of the outdoors takes notice. Their latest Brain Dead x Oakley “Rare Metals” project sees the Oakley Factory Team and Brain Dead bringing their combined inimitable styles to contemporary sunglasses silhouettes.
Conceived using two of Oaklay’s frames taken from the Oakley archive, the Radar EV Path and Plazma, the “Rare Metals” collab delivers color to these four new statement pieces. Bold and futuristic shades that, while not quite as extravagant a conversation piece as Oakley’s OVERTHETOP sunglasses, are nevertheless unique enough in design to make a statement when worn.
This extends to the rich and vibrant greens, purples, and oranges of the lenses, which utilize the Oakley Prism Lens Technology that takes the science fiction vibe to another level. They’re a fitting addition to Oakley’s design and aesthetic evolution, which continues to progress following iconic shades such as the Radar EV Advancer, released back in 2019.
These limited-edition sunglasses from Oakley and Brain Dead will no doubt be highly sought-after and are available from selected stockists as well as the Brain Dead and Oakley online stores starting on March 14. The four-piece drop includes the Plazma Green with Prizm Sapphire, Plazma Orange with Prizm Violet, and the same two treatments on the fan-favorite Radar EV Path.

Reason for our indoor only adoption policy
- 3 years – life expectancy of Feral Cats
- 6 years – life expectancy of indoor cats allow to go outdoors
- 16 years – life expectancy of Indoor only cats
Feral Cat Lifespan
The reason for Feral’s short-lived expectation is easy to infer. They are exposed to potentially harmful elements and other animals 24/7, 365 days of each life year. Food sources of small animals, rodents may be infected by ticks, fleas, parasites, protozoans or poisoned. Predators are everywhere, big birds of prey, coyotes and stray dogs. They are the chief cause of death. The proportion of deaths by Predators is slightly higher than that of car deaths. Successfully escaping predators, dangerous weather, vehicles and diseases is dependent on how developed the cats innate skills are honed. In addition, minor illnesses flu, cold, worms infestation, parasites easy to solve with medical care may equate to earlier death.
Indoor Cat with Outdoor Privileges Lifespan
What is the reason indoor cat with outdoor privileges lifespan is 10 years shorten then if the cat is kept completely indoors? Whenever they leave home, they face the same risk depicting of a wild cat’s life. The top circumstance of dying of these cats is vehicular deaths, follow by predators primarily Large Birds and Coyotes. Whenever a cat leaves home for outdoor, the risk of car run over increases. Coyotes, large birds, are often trying to find food. Sooner or later the cat will be caught by a predator or run over. Predators and cars are not the only risk, outdoors increases the probability of infestation of worms, fleas, ticks, particularly if they catch and eat small animals and birds. This requires monthly worming, monthly tick and flea management due to the outside privileges.
Exclusively Indoor Cat Lifespan
Indoor cats are the healthiest cats in the world. The pet parents of these cats are more than likely to provide regular health checks, keep the pet child immunization UTD equally important spayed or neutered the pet child. Their exposure to ticks, fleas, worms and parasites is minimum with few exceptions when a companion pet friend probably a dog needs outdoor privilege, pet cousins or pet friends visit, home with available rodents, or the sad situation when their family is a hoarder or the home is nasty. The hoarding home are worse living situations for pet children health. Keeping the cat exclusively indoors is the benefit of the average of 10 additional years of companionship.
At Kezkatz our desire for cat is to have a long healthy lifetime. This blog information is from research, rescue experience, foster experience, medical experience, including surgical procedures are the sources we have formulated our policy of adoptions. Please read our blog of onychectomy and Spaying/ neutering.
Our Adoption Policy – The adopter agrees to provide a non-declaw inside only home. If the cat needs a new home, the adopter agrees re-home with the same quality or a better home with the same status of no-declaw indoor only home.

Crazy Killing Machine
'It is here! It is finally here! Don't get too excited Carl! Don't get 2 boxes and stay up all night playing Keyforge with Steve! You have children who will be up at 6! You have work tomorrow! Don't then buy more a couple of days later and clear out your local board game store!
Well...you did it! Don't say I didn't warn you!' - Carl's common sense.
Well, it is finally upon us. Mass Mutation, the fourth installment of Keyforge, is upon us.
3 nights ago, Steve and I managed to get in 24 games in, last night we got 8 more in and with some games we have managed to play pre-release, we are 45 games in. After 45 games and 70 decks, we are starting to get a real feel for how Mass Mutation plays, how it feels as a set and how it interacts within itself. Below are some of the things we have started to notice to hopefully help you on your merry Keyforge way.
A couple of things to point out:
- We have only played Mass Mutation against Mass Mutation. We can't really speak to the effectiveness against the other sets yet but we can certainly make some educated assumptions.
- We have played all (ish) 45 games in our favourite, self titled variant for new deck purchase; Ironman Keyforge. The best/worst/most frustrating/most rewarding way to play Keyforge all rolled into 1. It requires no skill and no strategy! Basically:
- Open a deck blind and put it face down.
- Don't look at the Archon Card.
- Shuffle and draw - NO MULLIGANS!
- No playing cards that search through the deck for their effect.
- Just play and reveal the deck.
With this all in mind, what have we learnt and what are our first impressions?
1. Enhancements are REAL
I know this seems like a silly thing to say. But as with everything, we have to address if a new mechanic is a viable strategy and game changer (the introduction of Saurians into Worlds Collide) or a wet novelty which people got excited about then quickly realize were a damp squib (shards).
I can say with all confidence that enhancements change the game and a mediocre card with good enhancements can become a very effective card, very quickly. I am ashamed to say it, but I originally thought that the single damage enhancement was going to be the lesser of the 4 (damage, capture, aember and card draw) but I was pleasantly surprised. That single little lonesome damage put in some work! All 4 are equally welcome and viable, however 1 may be more effective in a meta...more on that later.
2. It feels very balanced.
If we have to compare this to one of the other sets, I would say it is most like Age of Ascension (don't close the article just yet).
It categorically isn't as 'swingy' as Call of the Archons and it doesn't have the power disparity like that between Brobnar and Saurians in Worlds Collide. Now that doesn't mean that one house doesn't feel stronger than anot
