The fifth generation (5G) technology will take time and the countries that will be the first to fully embrace it will shape the future of the technological world. Our platform and other technical experts have long been outspoken about the importance of 5G launching in Pakistan. Unfortunately, according to a reliable source, the launch of 5G in Pakistan has been postponed again.
The rationale given by the authorities seems logical, but should have already been achieved. They stated that they aim to reach 60 percent 4G penetration in the country before launching 5G. Speaking to a media outlet, Minister of IT and Telecommunications (MoITT) Syed Aminul Haque revealed that the existing penetration of 4G internet connectivity in Pakistan is below 60 percent, which needs to be increased.
The minister further added that after reaching a high penetration rate for 4G, the country will move to the deployment of 5G technology as soon as possible. He said that the government has decided to boost 4G penetration before completing the 5G rollout schedule.
In addition, the minister said that talks are underway with telcos on issues related to the launch of 5G. The minister also plans to hold a meeting with the Frequency Allocation Board (FAB) to discuss 5G policies and obstacles in launching 5G technology in Pakistan.
In addition, the minister supported the idea of reducing spectrum costs to provide additional benefits to consumers. In that context, the Minister will soon enter into discussions with the Advisory Committee on Auction of Telecom Services.
In a bid to bring 5G, telcos are asking the government to offer 5G spectrum for free for 5 years

Greyson. What in the fuck am I doing?
What in the fuck am I doing?
The surveillance camera screens flare bright when I get home after days of nonstop working, of chasing my marks, city to city, home to home. The house is asleep. Father, the guys, everyone in the rental. I bite off one glove, then do the same with the other while I bring a loaf of bread, a jar of PB, and a steak knife over.
We’ve set up the surveillance cameras that watch the entries, exits, windows of the home. Pounds of computers weigh down several tables, lights flickering among tangles of wire. I spread the PB onto a slice of bread, slap another one on it, and gobble it down as I search the boxes of recordings and pull out a card from last year, labeled with the date of the fight. I’ve been thinking about her. Every second of the day, I remember her.
Wet and vulnerable, in the rain.
Wet and warm, in my arms.
Telling me her name is Melanie.
Inviting me to her best friend’s wedding.
She triggers every synapse in my brain until she’s alive in my mind, laughing a laugh I’ve only ever heard her laugh . . . cuddling with me as she watches her movie . . . pushing me out the door like she can’t stand the sight of me, then pulling me back and kissing the bejezus out of me.
I stood there like a moron leaning on her door, my heart slamming in my chest as I waited for her to open it. Hell, I was ready to kick it open.
Instead, I left and went to rent a tuxedo and then I started looking at apartments nearby.
I’m dangerous to her; hell, she’s dangerous to me. I can’t let myself get distracted for this shit.
So what the fuck am I doing?
I slide the recording into a card reader and play it, my eyes straining for the glimpse of her, my daily dose of Melanie I need to see.
“And nooow, ladies and gentlemen . . .” the announcer begins with his usual flair, “Remington Tate, your one and only, RIPTIDE!! RIPTIDE!! Say hello to RIPTIDEEEEE!” he yells.
One of our fighters trots toward the ring, into the screen. It’s Riptide.
He’s not good; he’s the best I’ve ever seen. The most lucrative fighter my father has ever sponsored in the Underground—and one we all hope to continue to sponsor, thanks to his reckless streak.
“Riptide, Riptide . . .” I hear the crowd through the speakers.
I drink my soda as I keep watching the screen, waiting to spot the blonde on the sidelines. Melanie. She’s about to appear, jumping up and down as usual, and I’m tensing with anticipation when the image freezes, blacks out, then cuts to the next fight.
I smash a fist down to get the computer going. Nothing. I scowl, rewind, play. Same shit happens. Draining the last of my soda, I toss the can in the trash can and roughly scrub a frustrated palm over my face, then I stalk to Wyatt’s room and flick the light on. “Who the fuck messed with the tapes?”
“You tampered with them, Wyatt?”
“They’re from fucking last year. What’s so important about it? What do you see nobody else does, huh? What does my father think you can do nobody else can’t?”
“He wants to break me. That’s all there is. You’re fucking lucky he didn’t try the same with you. Tomorrow I want the full footage, I don’t care what you need to do.”
I flip the switch back off and go to my room and stare at my phone.
What the fuck am I doing? I grab a knife and feel its weight, somehow satisfying me. I set my SIG aside, pull out several knives, slide them into my slacks’ back pockets, six inside each, then I start sending them flying, over and over, rapidly twirling them a dozen times in the air, so fast you don’t realize the blade is turning until it slams into the wall. I pull them out of each pocket, one every second. One. Two. Three. Four . . . five, six, seven, eight, nine, teneleventwelve.
I’ve got a rental tux. I’ve got a place in Seattle, a ticket to Seattle. I’ve got an itch in me and her name’s Melanie.
My phone rings. “Yeah?”
“She’s home now. Safe and sound.”
My eyes flick to the clock. 11:34 p.m. So late? “C.C.’s coming to relieve you tomorrow. I’m working a mark and then flying in. Why’s she out so late?”
“ ’Kay, boss.”
I wait for Derek’s answer. “Alone. She had dinner with the friend and the blond guy who hangs out with them. And no, he didn’t sit close to her.”
“She’s fucking wearing some sort of dress. Floral.”
“It’s pink, boss. With yellow tennis shoes and her hair loose and lots of bracelets.”
I see her in my mind and breathe out through my nostrils while a strange sensation of peace and longing flow through my muscles, tensing then relaxing me.
“Keep an eye out.” I click the line off and stare at her name in my phone. I’m not a fucking teenager to be texting a girl. I don’t like leaving traces. I need to change this fucking phone.
I rub a hand roughly across my face. If my father knows I’m chasing after her, I don’t know what he’ll do. What Eric will do. Anybody I’ve ever come after could come after me through her.
So leave her alone. . . .
I pull out the knives, stick them back in my pockets, and swing again. “Can’t,” I say. Can’t leave her alone. Don’t fucking want to.
She makes me feel like I’m not a robot, like I’m flesh and blood, a man, not a number, not a job . . . not a monster, not a bastard, not a zero.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Raiders owner Mark Davis deserves a lot of the credit for Las Vegas hosting the Super Bowl on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
Goodell said Monday at his annual Super Bowl week news conference that Davis was looking to land the NFL’s championship game the day his team’s move to the city was approved.
“He believed this would be a great Super Bowl location, so when he got the relocation approval that was one of the first things he was talking about, ‘When are we going to get a Super Bowl?’” Goodell said. “I said ‘Mark, we’ve got to play a regular season game here first.’”
The Super Bowl is coming after the Raiders’ fourth season at Allegiant Stadium and the third with fans allowed. Las Vegas has also hosted the 2022 NFL draft and two Pro Bowls in that span.
“This stadium is extraordinary and we’re here and we can feel it … and that’s our stage,” Goodell said. “For us the stadium is key, the city is key. This city really knows how to put on big events. We’ve seen that.”
Goodell said Allegiant Stadium is the No. 1 place fans see their team in an away game. Some Raiders home games feature more than 60 percent road fans, according to Las Vegas Stadium Authority data.
Goodell touched on a number of other topics during his comments Monday:
— Goodell said the Philadelphia Eagles will play in Brazil’s first NFL game Sept. 6 in Week 1 of the 2024 season. Their opponent has yet to be announced.
— Goodell considers superstar Taylor Swift’s ties to the league a huge positive. Swift, since going public with her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is helping the NFL draw interest from younger female fans.
— Goodell defended the league’s officials, saying they’ve done a great job despite scrutiny being at an all-time high. He said nobody is perfect and the league will use technology to improve officiating where it can.
— Goodell said the Super Bowl will not be streamed “during my lifetime.” But he did say the NFL will continue to put games exclusively on streaming platforms going forward after airing the Chiefs’ first-round playoff matchup with the Dolphins on Peacock.

The Greek letter Phi represents the Golden Number: 1.61803399, first written about over two millennia ago by Euclid. Recognized centuries ago by Renaissance artists such as Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci, the ratio of 1.61803399:1.0 is the Golden Proportion, the ideal space between complementary features to achieve perfect symmetry. You see this proportion idealized on most of the beautiful faces in Hollywood. Using the Golden Proportion, Dr. Stephen Marquardt designed a facial mask that helps plastic surgeons align features for the most symmetrical, natural look.
Methods to Achieve the Golden Proportion
A wide variety of cosmetic procedures and injectables help patients acquire this symmetry. Beginning at the chin, patients may choose Kybella injections, which destroy fat cells that accumulate beneath the chin to cause submental fullness, or double chin. Moving up to the lips, Restylane is an FDA-approved filler for lip enhancement that restores volume and lift. From there it is on to the cheeks, where Voluma augments cheeks and restores greater elasticity for up to two years. Juvederm performs a similar function, injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin to reduce wrinkles and improve elasticity. Finally, Bellafill injectables correct facial wrinkles and even some acne scars. This FDA-approved treatment lasts a minimum of five years, because the body never absorbs the PMMA microspheres used to treat these wrinkles and lines.

Jesper Just has become internationally renowned for works which explore the ambiguous territory of gender, desire, relationships and identity. Early films explored and circumvented the complicated representations of masculinity in Hollywood cinema and throughout popular culture, and challenged viewers’ expectations of those conventions. In The Lonely Villa (2004), a scenario unfolds of several men sitting in silence, anticipating the phones in front of them to ring. An older man answers his phone to find the singing voice belonging to a younger man across the darkened room. The call turns into an emotionally fraught duet of a 1930s love song, and Just leaves it completely open-ended whether the protagonists are father and son, or if they are lovers.
In the brochure text for his solo project at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in 2006, Hannah Barry describes Just’s lush, cinematic productions: “For each film Just assembles a grand production, engaging trained actors and singers, sound and lighting engineers, and camera operators…He employs mechanisms more commonly associated with lavish ‘motion picture’ productions for cinema: notably his trompe l'oeil cinematographic vision, manifested in elaborate chiaroscuro combinations of light and half-light; tight control of changes in perspective and arrangement of the cast in majestic tableaux vivants; and a miniaturist's hypersensitivity in committing human emotions to film, his precise handling of the camera capturing the subtleties of sadness, melancholy, and grief as well as of prolonged expressionlessness and impassivity.”
In more recent films, starting with A Vicious Undertow (2008), and thereafter Sirens of Chrome (2009-2010), and This Nameless Spectacle (2011), Just has also explored and addressed constructs of femininity rarely addressed in popular cinema. In 2013, Just premiered Intercourses, a multi-channel installation at the Danish Pavilion at the 55th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, in which Just complicated the idea of identity and nationality, using a Chinese replica city of Paris as the main character. Just explains, “I’ve worked in the past with the idea of architecture performing, with a building or structure as a main performer, a main protagonist. And here there was the possibility of working with a whole city. I was thinking about ways to make the city the protagonist or mediator between these characters, making them connect via the architecture. I wanted to explore how you could take something as superficial as this architecture and then turn it into something connecting humans.”
Jesper Just (born 1974, Copenhagen, Denmark) is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen. His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at such diverse and international institutions as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit, MI; the Miami Art Museum, Miami, FL; La Casa Encendida, Madrid, Spain; S.M.A.K., Ghent, Belgium; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; BALTIC Center for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK; the Herning Museum of Contemporary Art, Herning, Denmark, and Musée d'Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne (MAC/VAL), Val-de-Marne, France. Just represented Denmark at the 55th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy (2013). His work has been included in group exhibitions such as El Grito, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Castille y Leon, Spain (2011); Detroit, Kunsthalle Wien, Austria (2010); Play - Film and Video, Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden (2009); Made Up, Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool, United Kingdom (2008); the Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art, Glasgow, UK (2008); Ars06: Sense of the Real, KIASMA, Helsinki, Finland (2006); and Gender Bender, Galleria D’Arte Moderna Bologna, Bologna, Italy (2005). Just’s work is included in public collections such as the Arken Museum of Modern Art, Ishoj, Denmark; the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark; Tate Modern, London, UK; Castello di Rivoli, Turin, Italy; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA; the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY. Jesper Just lives and works in New York, NY.

As a sponsored partner, Bentley joined Interior Design Magazine to host a One Night Only – LA event at the new Beverly Hills office of Douglas Elliman, designed by Patrick Tighe and Tony Follo of Tighe Architecture.
This story begins with a New York hotel room key. Actress and singer/songwriter, Caitlin Crosby, started wearing the hotel key as a necklace while on tour and had the idea to start engraving old, used keys with inspirational words. Realizing that, in a way, we are all like these keys – unique, flawed, scarred, and sometimes discarded by others – she wanted these keys to have their purpose renewed over and over again.
This year at NeoCon 2015, Bentley explores its heritage in its new collection, Born and Raised, tapping into tradition to move its products and production methods forward.

5,000 km of Cycling with Mapillary in May
Here at Mapillary, many of us like cycling. Apparently, it’s not just us but our awesome community as well. In celebration of National Bike Month we thought we would check on cyclists of Mapillary to reveal where in the world they use their bikes to photo map places they care about.
Since we don’t automatically know whether a photo sequence was taken while driving, walking or cycling (especially when photos are taken with an action camera), we tweaked our data a bit to decide whether an activity is bike related or not. The algorithm mostly takes speed into consideration, taking care of stops at traffic lights and some other things. Of course a method like this can’t be 100% accurate. For one, you can run faster than a cyclist who is wondering about the beauties of nature. Or you may take photos on slow moving trains or boats. Nevertheless, we came up with a solution to identify where our cyclists map.
After examination of the result set we came to realize that biking and photo mapping are not something that only a few community members find interesting but there are great examples from all over the world. Within the first four weeks of May, we found 186 cyclists from 45 countries taking 650,000 photos along more than 5,000 km of roads. Below is a map to show where you could have run into mappers on their bikes in May. Among the top countries, you can easily notice the ones with traditionally strong biking culture, like Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands or for that matter, Italy. On the other hand, small but dedicated communities like in Ukraine, Austria or Bolivia made it possible for these countries to show up among the most active ones in terms of biking.
Mapper bikes reached many beautiful places in different world regions. For example you can
- Downhill the famous streets of San Francisco
- Explore the streets of Daegu, South Korea
- Get lost in a forest near Stara Vyzhivka, Ukraine
- Be fascinated by the bike infrastructure in Denmark
- Take a casual ride in the Florida Keys or
- Even explore Alaska
An average Mapillary bike mapper rides 6.8 times during a month, taking 3,500 photos along 27 km while spending 88 minutes in the saddle at an average speed of 17 km/h. While many of you see your bikes as a mean of transportation, using it for commutes as well, a clear peak of riding intensity can be identified over the weekend indicating that recreation and leisure are important aspects, too. We’re not professional athletes but we are eager to get out there and pedal through the weekend.
A great thing about Mapillary is flexibility. Whereas the most convenient way to take photos while on a bike is using a smartphone (60% of all photos), various action cameras are being used as well (36%). Interestingly, every 4 out of 100 bike photos were taken by other devices, like regular digital cameras along with a GPS logger. This method with devices found in most households allows you to stop and capture each interesting object that you might find interesting enough to map.
Taking a look at smartphone manufacturers, Android is more popular among Mapillary bikers, but Apple still holds a share of 30% of all smartphone photos. The most popular manufacturers on the Android platform were Huawei, Samsung, LG and Sony respectively. On the action camera market, Garmin and GoPro tend to lead the way with almost two thirds of all action camera photos. Other brands like Rollei Bullet5S and the Xiaomi Yi are catching up fast, though.
Don’t forget to tell us where and why you ride with Mapillary. We’d love to hear your stories along with your best shots.
Enjoy mapping and riding and also be safe in the saddle!

Background/Aims: Self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) is an alternative treatment to surgery for patients with incurable malignant colonic obstruction. Palliative SEMS insertion significantly improves the quality of life, mainly from stoma avoidance. However, perforation is the most feared potential complication because of its serious consequences. Nowadays, the characteristics of the lesions and patients that may lead to perforation remain unclear. The ability to predict SEMS-related perforation may lead to better patient selection and outcome improvement. This study aimed to identify risk factors that may predict perforation after SEMS insertion in palliative malignant obstruction.
Methods: Between January 2009 to December 2019, this retrospective cohort included patients with malignant colonic obstruction who underwent SEMS insertion with palliative intent. Patients who had peritonitis, SEMS insertion as a bridge-to-surgery, technical failure, or surgical intervention were excluded.
Results: There were 111 patients who underwent palliative SEMS insertion in this period. The technical success and clinical success rates were 98% and 97%, respectively. The SEMS-related perforation rate was 8%. The median time to perforation was 22 days (range 1-480). Multivariate analysis showed peritoneal metastasis to be a significant risk factor of SEMS-related perforation (hazard ratio [HR], 5.336;95% confidence interval [CI], 1.219-23.367; p = 0.026), while tumor length ≥ 5 cm, tumor at angulated segment, chemotherapy, and bevacizumab administration were not (p = 0.245, p = 0.168, p = 0.122, and p = 0.824, respectively) (Table 1).
Conclusion: Peritoneal carcinomatosis is the only significant risk factor of SEMS-related perforation in this study.

Koudoumas monastery is located at the exit of Katarraktis gorge in Asterousia Mountains, 80km south of Iraklion and only 40m from the beautiful peak Kofinas. It is one of the most secluded monasteries of Crete, as access from Heraklion requires almost 2 hours. There is a 24km long dirt road that starts from the village Sternes (accessible from Charakas), at an altitude of 1000m near the peak Kofinas (1231m). During the descent to the sea level, the views of the sea are amazing as the cliffs cause vertigo! Along the road, you will see the pine wood of Koudoumas and many goats standing on the bare sharp rocks.
Amid this purely Cretan landscape, you will find the old male monastery of Koudoumas. The church, built inside a cave, is dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin Mary (celebrating August 15). The area is full of caves, many of which are still inhabited by the hermits. From the monastery starts an interesting trail that leads to the cave of St. Anthony and another one that leads to Avvakospilios Cave. Moreover, some lovers of Cretan nature prefer reaching Koudoumas by walking along the path that starts from Sternes (3 hours) and passes through beautiful pine groves.
Koudoumas name probably derives from the founder of the monastery. Indeed, a Venetian document of 1280 mentions the surname Cudhumano, possibly related to Koudoumas. The monastery in its present form was built in 1870 by the monks Parthenios and Eumenios Charitakis, on the site of the ruined monastery. The monastery was abandoned till then, like all seaside monasteries of Crete, because of the frequent pirate raids on the coasts of Crete in the 15th century.
Koudoumas celebrates on August 15, when pilgrims arrive from all over Crete. Most of them come on August 14 and spend their night either in the guest rooms or on the beach. Moreover, the monastery celebrates on July 10 in honor of the monks Eumenios and Pathenios, who re-established the monastery and have been recognized as Saints.
Monastery Koudoumas houses the icon of Our Lady of Kykkos of Dexiokratousa (i.e. Right Hand Holding), found in the house of Ali Pasha in Ioannina and donated to the monastery by Eleni Skandalaki in 1957. Also, a chapel houses the icon of the Visitation, which is connected to a miracle of 1940.
The monks, perhaps the most hospitable in Crete, offer accommodation to anyone for the night. In fact, many locals live here all summer, in the small guest rooms of the monastery, where they have all the basic amenities (kitchen, water, bath, etc.). The monastery complex also consists of a welcome room, a refectory, a library, a small museum, the monks' cells, etc.
- 1280: A document mentions the name Cudhumano, which is probably the surname of the founder of Koudoumas monastery.
- 14th century: A document mentions the existence of the monastery and a small school.
- 15th century: The frequent pirate raids against the coastline of Crete, forces the monks to abandon Koudoumas and move to the mainland. The monastery gets deserted for 4 centuries.
- 1870: The monks Eumenios and Parthenios Haritakis restore (and extend) the ruined complex of Koudoumas.
- 1940: The Germans try to turn the monastery into a German post. Due to a miracle (a German shot against the icon of Presentation and the bullet ostracized), the Germans leave the monastery. The monastery, except the church, is damaged.
- 1957: Helen Skandalaki donates the icon of Our Lady of Kykkos or Dexiokratousa to the Koudoumas monastery.

A video of an alleged thief being choked out by a brave passerby is now making its way around the internet.
Within the video above, a man can be seen being choked out by an individual. The man allegedly attempted to steal from an older woman nearby. However, the individual laying on the rear-naked choke ran down the alleged thief and took him to the ground.
From there, the man began choking out the possible thief. The man has seemingly undergone training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts, as the man calmly talked down to the alleged thief while he continued to choke him out effortlessly.
The elder woman eventually showed up to the scene and began yelling at the individual as well. Check it out in the video above.

David Barton Repeats Debunked Claim That Chaplains Are Forced To Perform Same-Sex Weddings
Last year, after the Supreme Court struck down the federal component of the Defense of Marriage Act, David Barton claimed that the ruling would force military chaplains to perform same-sex marriages against their will.
That fear, of course, was completely unfounded and the Pentagon clarified that DOMA repeal would in no way mean that a military chaplain would have to perform a marriage against his will.

New Liverpool FC signing reveals conversation with Roberto Firmino
Alisson Becker reveals that he spoke regularly to Roberto Firmino ahead of his transfer to Liverpool FC
Alisson Becker has revealed that he spoke regularly to Roberto Firmino ahead of his transfer to Liverpool FC from AS Roma this week.
The Brazilian goalkeeper ended up signing for the Reds on Thursday night after having been strongly linked with a move to Anfield for much of the summer.
Alisson had been thought to be a target for Chelsea FC this summer but he ended up signing for the Reds this week as Jurgen Klopp moved quickly to bolster his options between the posts ahead of next season.
Now, Alisson has revealed that he was in constant contact with his Brazil team-mate Firmino ahead of his transfer to Liverpool FC this week.
Speaking in an interview with Liverpool FC’s website, Alisson said: “I’ve spoken to him [Firmino].
“I had spoken to him before things really started to happen. When the negotiations became official I spoke to him and I only heard good things about the club and the city.
“He is a player who feels really at home here. He is loved by the fans and really popular with his teammates. He is a great person and only had positive things to say.
“He said if I were to come here, I’d be really happy as well. Putting our friendship to one side and the time we spent together with the national team, I’m really happy to be at the same club as him and have the same daily routine as him. Hopefully we can develop a great deal together.”
Liverpool FC will be looking to at least challenge for the Premier League title next season after they finished in fourth place in the table and without a trophy last term.
The Reds reached the Champions League final but ended up losing 3-1 to Real Madrid back in May.
Liverpool FC are still looking to win their first trophy under Klopp since his appointment at Anfield as Brendan Rodgers’ successor back in October 2015.

Dual Column UTM’s can be either electromechanical or servo-hydraulic
Generally, hydraulic machines are better suited for extremely repetitive testing of high strength materials in production environments. The electro-mechanical machines are much more versatile in terms of their speed, and length of stroke, which better suits them for R&D environments where many different types of tests can be performed.
Increasing cases of COVID-19 across the globe is resulting in economic slowdown. The impact of COVID-19 is being absorbed in each sector of the economy, including the global manufacturing industry. This, in turn, is projected to indirectly hinder the global tensile testing machine market in the next few years. IDM Instruments’ UTM comes with fixed dual testing capabilities. As it eliminates the need of having two machines required for testing.
The high stiffness frame incorporates a crosshead guidance system to prevent side loading of the sample under test. The crosshead is driven by twin lead screws and a high precision servo motor and DC servo system to achieve a wide range of speeds throughout the full load range. Suitable for checking all types of polymers, compounds, composite materials, fibre reinforced plastics and polymeric materials. The VantageNX Tensile Testing Machine is a revamped design of the EJA Vantage Series of Tensile Testers. With a small footprint and ergonomic design testing can be completed efficiently with this instrument. It is the part of the machine that is fixed with one end of the testing specimen and one end of the load cell.
Strain measurements can be done directly from the extensometer fitted to the specimen. Advanced software and frame design for just about any test in a wide range of materials. This is the 100th anniversary of manufacturing Shimadzu testing machines. If you would like to speak with our highly qualified in-house engineering team about our dynamic testing machine range, give us a call. Tensile testers are used to test the strength of a sample part or component and allow manufacturers to see exactly what level of stress will cause it to fail. AE events were monitored over 0–512kHz of the frequency specimen.
The recording speed of the high-speed camera was 1000 frames per second under full resolution. Rubber compounds for use in tires – the elongation and tensile strength of tire rubber is tested for quality control purposes to avoid tire failures such as tread separation and blowouts. Our testing software is an extremely user-friendly, wizard-guided, and Windows-based solution that allows users to set up the testing system, configure and run tests and view results. ThyssenKrupp Presta – Production-related quality control on camshafts with TorsionLine torsion testing machine. Medical industry – For tensile tests on different materials used in implantable neuroelectrodes, CorTec uses a testing system from ZwickRoell.
The stepper motor driver used in this machine is an A4988 on a StepStick format board. StepSticks are usually used with 3D printers and CNC routers, and therefore they are often easily replaceable. Create a sketch on that plane and follow the second picture to create the 4.8mm mounting holes. Extrude the covered part of the rectangle out using the cut operation to create the cutout. Create a 1mm offset plane from the bottom of the mounting hole and create a sketch on that offset plane. It is connected with the lead screw nut and one end of the load cell.
I will be carrying on the tradition of explaining every step of the design; this includes every bit of detail from the design process all the way to the assembly of the machine (excluding few hard-to-explain parts). This makes it so that the user understands every step made to achieve the end result. Thanks to knowledgeable and experienced technical personnel and spare parts stocks, Laboratory Test Equipment aims to provide fast and high quality solutions to service and maintenance needs. Our company, which constantly develops on its way to become a long-term business partner for industrial organizations, has been able to meet all Laboratory needs of such organizations. Thanks to its expertise in special projects, it is able to offer solutions tailored to Laboratory needs and performs after-sales services throughout the physical life of the products.

Xbox Series X Runs Xbox One Games at a Higher Frame Rate - NewsWilliam D'Angelo , posted on 01 October 2020 / 3,607 Views
Several gaming outlets have released hands-on previews of the Xbox Series X today and VentureBeat tested Xbox One games running on the Xbox Series X to see how well they perform on the next-generation console. The results showed that games that run on the Xbox One with an unlocked framerate or dynamic resolution see a boost on the Xbox Series X.
Grand Theft Auto IV saw around a 25 percent boost in frame rate from an average of 48 frames per second (fps) on the Xbox One X to 60 fps on the Xbox Series X. Final Fantasy XV saw a boost from 42 fps to 59 fps and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice jumped from 37 fps to 60 fps.
No Man's Sky runs at a locked 30 fps on the Xbox One, which means the game doesn't take advantage of the better hardware of the Xbox Series X.
The hands-on preview reveals the Xbox Series X has 802 GB of usable space, lets you suspend up to six games at a time using the Quick Resume feature, and greatly reduces the load times of many Xbox One games.
The Xbox Series X and Series S will launch worldwide on November 10.

There are so many parenting ‘experts’ out there, how do you know which one to listen too?
If you are a parent in Australia odds are you have heard of Maggie Dent.
Maggie is a parent, educator, author, speaker and for me a totally inspirational human being. She is knowledgeable about children from newborns right up to adolescents. What is it that makes her my inspiration?
I like that she is very practical and back to basics. Her information is based on hands on experience as both a mother and educator. As much as Maggie has an extensive educational background, you know she has first hand experience and has dealt with many ‘challenging’ behaviours and situations with both children and parents alike. This shines through in what she speaks about. She recognises behaviours quickly as she has seen them many times before. She gives an array of very practical examples of behaviours, outcomes and extremely, practical, helpful techniques.
The other aspect I like about Maggie is that as much as she goes back to basics, she also keeps up with the latest, whether that be in a technological world, or with scientific discoveries such as brain development. She is able to come up with strategies that relate in the ever changing world. She is able to incorporate latest advancements to support what she is conveying.
Respect is another attribute that makes Maggie the role model she is. She receives respect because she gives respect. She does not put people down, she knows parenting isn’t always easy, and that it doesn’t come with an instruction book, so parents will get it wrong at times. She is supportive yet tells the way it is. Sometimes parents are doing a great job, but they just need someone to reiterate that what they are doing is ‘right’.
And Maggie’s sense of humour is perfect for the area she is working with. In times of stress, a sense of perspective, and making light of a situation can help ease the burden. Parenting has many shared similarities. Children go through their stages, parents go through their up and downs of life’s journey. And that is why one seminar of Maggies can help so many families at once. It brings things back to reality and encourages the use of what many know as common sense.
There are other parenting ‘experts’ to call on. I am not saying Maggie is the only one to listen to as I know other fantastic specialists that give great information and advice. I am asking though, if Maggie is in town it is worth being part of her audience, if you are a little lost, google her articles, if you have the time, read her books – all available at www.maggiedent.com A true down to earth Australian role model for all parents and educators.
In Perth, if you need a babysitter so you can attend Maggie’s events, or if you need some time to yourself to do things, call Cherished Cherubs Babysitting on 0417 927 525, or go to the website on cherishedcherubs.com.au

The KAZANAS LC Law Firm proudly creates value for America's Boomers - and their families.
America's Boomers have unique legal challenges - far more diverse and complex than those of the generations that preceded them, or have followed them.
Boomers, also called "Baby Boomers," were born in the U.S. during the "boom" years after WWII (1946 thru 1964); approximately one in four Americans is a Boomer.
This single-minded focus on Boomers - and their families is what the KAZANAS LC Law Firm is all about. This allows us to focus on reliable, trustworthy, and lasting relationships with our clients.
The KAZANAS LC Law Firm concentrates on the following legal services:
BUSINESS LAW ~ Boomers tend to be well educated, prefer autonomy, control their situations, and deserve more business and commerce service, commitment and convenience.
Business Law governs business and commerce in both the private and public sectors. It provides a legal framework for business creation and organization, and for conducting business. We provide legal excellence in Business Law services related to starting and running a business (such as business planning, entity formation, licensing, trademarking, zoning and contract negotiations) as well as succession and exit planning (such as management succession, buy-sell agreements, negotiation and sale to third party purchasers).
In addition, our commercial litigation practice focuses on resolving financial and business disputes between individuals and businesses.
FAMILY LAW ~ Boomers experience more career changes, more marriages, more nontraditional family relationships, and a more fluid mixing and matching of educational, retirement and work cycles than those of other generations.
Family Law covers the legal relationships among family members, such as husbands, wives, parents, children, and domestic partners. We provide legal excellence in Family Law services that arise in these family or other personal relationships, such as marriage, property settlement issues, spousal support obligations, parental responsibility and plans for shared parenting.
ESTATE PLANNING ~ Boomers also have specialized legal needs because their estates are generally complicated and diverse, due to the current growth in investment products, increased job mobility, and children and parental necessities.
Estate Planning is the formation of documentation to maintain and effectively control your financial and health care security. We provide legal excellence in Estate Planning services to help your estate avoid probate costs and simplify the process regarding your financial estate for your family.
In addition to saving time and money after your death, a properly established estate plan will provide clear and concise directions regarding your financial estate and health issues during your lifetime. Estate planning documents may include a will, trusts, powers of appointment, and powers of attorney, including the durable financial power of attorney, the durable medical power of attorney, and a living will.
Because Boomers have elderly parents faced with difficult, long-term care challenges, we provide legal excellence in Elder Law services, which are combined with traditional Estate Planning services. These legal services include planning ahead for all available support resources, like Social Security and Veterans benefits, Medicare and Medicaid coverage, nursing-home care, in-home care, and other legal matters of particular concern to them to ensure cost-efficient eligibility for long-term care.
So, whether you live on "Penny Lane", rejoice about the "Glory Days", married a "California Girl", told your friend about "My Girl", or you are "Crazy (for loving...)", give us a call.
We are here to help you with due diligence of your optimism, with guidance during your exploration, and with documentation to protect your achievements.

Faith is something that takes time.
I need to remember to take one day at a time, or in our house one minute at a time...
Thank you for your prayers!
"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."


Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Game of Thrones (ASOIAF)' started by Pelican Grove, Jun 8, 2018.
1. Disappointed with the story choice. Lots of better options out there but I guess they feel the masses will suck up anything GoT and so the other stories will get done in time.
2. The story choice and timing is ...interesting though. Considering that the wall just came down in the last season and this is getting announced now
I like the idea. So many unanswered questions (possibly) about the white walkers and their motivations/intentions/genesis can be answered via this series. For all the book fags: is this period covered in the book series or just referenced?
It’s covered sort of in A World of Ice and Fire. But there’s like maybe 1,000 words on the topic.
Agree, I think it will be interesting enough and hopefully as similar and dissimilar to GOT as it needs to be.
As long as they put high quality people on it, it will likely be good. Excited to see what they can come up with.
The dragon-lords wouldn’t be the only focus, however: supposedly, much of the prequel takes place on a major melting pot port city in the continent of Sothoryos, which in this series would be relatively analogous to Roman North Africa. Consequently, diversity is more emphasized than in Game of Thrones—not only of race, but of gender and sexual orientation as well. Two main characters are described in this mold: a “platinum blonde black female dragon-rider”, daughter of a white Valyrian father and a foreigner mother, who faces discrimination because of this; and a self-made former slave, described as “a deceptively matronly-looking Asian woman in her 50s, that’s now not only one of the richest citizens but also a major political leader and government intrigue-player.”
If there’s not specific source material they’re drawing from, it’s going to be horrible (much like the last 2.5 seasons).
HBO is doing what HBO does and focusing on social justice in their storytelling.
I get that they’re gonna milk this sucker for all it’s worth, but the fact that they aren’t even using source material from AWOIAF to ride the wave of success is mind-bottling
They have a gold mine of content but they want Django meets dragons. It’s ridiculous.
Execs gonna exec.
You poor thing
Yeah, HBO programming has been a massive failure over the last 20 years.
Can't wait till the last season...
As long as it doesn’t include D&D, it’s got a shot

Mourners at Vanessa Collier’s funeral were in for a surprise when the service was moved to another location 15 minutes after it was supposed to begin. The reason? New Hope Ministries, where the service took place, refused to show a tribute video about Vanessa's life because it included footage of her kissing her female partner.
"They [her family] didn't want to edit her life," explained Collier’s friend Jose Silva, when asked why her family wouldn't comply with the church's request.
Reaching a stalemate, the funeral service ended up taking place at a funeral home across the street. Now that the service is over, friends of Collier's are protesting New Hope Ministries, demanding an apology from Pastor Ray Chavez. Signs in the protest had slogans like "Dignity in Death Vanessa" and "You will not find Jesus at New Hope but you will find HYPOCRISY."
"This is about not being able to have dignity in death for one of God's children," Silva said about the protest. "No matter what the circumstances -- if you're black, white, brown, gay, lesbian, transgender -- we all deserve that. And the church did not afford that to us."
Pastor Chavez has not spoken to the media about his decision, but he has gotten support from some of his parishioners, including Anita Luna. "The pastor stood for what he believes in, and he believes in God's truth," she said.
In the meantime, a Facebook protest page in support of Collier continues to grow. “Pastor Ray Chavez and New Hope Ministries Cancelled the funeral of our friend 15 minutes after it was to have begin,” the page reads. “He refused to allow her alternative life style video of her life be shown and kicked us out of the church. Her casket was open, flowers laid out and hundreds of people sitting in the pews. He collected money for the funeral and has yet to return it.”
All of this hits in the wake of transgender teen Leelah Alcorn’s suicide last month. Advocates had been upset by people (including Leelah’s mother) referring to Leelah as a “he” after her death, seeing it as another form of prejudice and disrespect. Silva and other friends and advocates for Collier are saying things along the same line: that we should all be respected, no matter a person’s orientation or gender identity.
"Vanessa was disrespected at what was to be a time to celebrate her life," her friends said on Facebook.


1st Vivarium 36x18x36 Exo Terra
I am working on my first vivarium. What do you recommend for a heating element? The room the dart frogs will be in is at a constant temperature of 60F, and it is not an option to increase the room temperature. I have a heating mat attached to the bottom of the tank, but it is not increasing the ambient temperature.

In the future, military dominance will depend partly on how fast you can fly and how quickly you can get into space. That’s one of the guiding principles behind an advanced Pentagon project to build a spacecraft able to launch smaller payloads into low-earth orbit on short notice, and at lower cost.
Boeing Co.’s XS-1 (Experimental Spaceplane), which the company dubs “Phantom Express,” got a green light this week by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa. The XS-1 is designed to quickly lift satellites as heavy as 3,000 pounds into orbit for $5 million or less, launching from the ground, deploying a small upper-stage module, and then landing like a traditional airplane-the key to reuse and lower operating expense. Darpa also has a separate program aimed at launching 100-pound satellites for less than $1 million per launch, using conventional aircraft.
“The XS-1 would be neither a traditional airplane nor a conventional launch vehicle but rather a combination of the two, with the goal of lowering launch costs by a factor of 10 and replacing today’s frustratingly long wait time with launch on demand,” Jess Spoonable, a Darpa program manager, said in a May 24 statement.
“When most people think about hypersonic aircraft, many believe they would have to be large, expensive, and exotic.”
The Phantom Express will be powered with an Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc. AR-22 engine, a newer version of the main engine trio that served on NASA’s Space Shuttle. Boeing will design and build the aircraft through 2019, including 10 engine ground firings over 10 days, followed by 12-15 flight tests in 2020. A Boeing spokeswoman declined to comment on the project’s cost.
Beyond the military’s desire for a spaceplane, such a craft would likely carry immense appeal for commercial companies, many of which are planning to launch constellations of small satellites. These companies don’t need the weight capability, or large expense, associated with traditional payload launches sold by United Launch Alliance, the Boeing-Lockheed Martin Corp. joint venture, Arianespace, or Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
The XS-1 is also envisioned as a means to further engineering work on advanced airframe designs capable of hypersonic flight, generally five to 10 times above Mach 1, the speed of sound at sea level (approximately 767 miles-per-hour). Historically, these designs have been challenged due to the intense friction and heat generated by higher Mach speeds.
Beyond a quick pop into space, a craft with hypersonic speed offers the Pentagon a new capability, an aircraft deployable anywhere in the world in less than three hours. “When most people think about hypersonic aircraft, many believe they would have to be large, expensive, and exotic,” Lockheed Martin says. “It’s time we change that perception.”
One way the defense contractor is trying to do that is with the next generation of the SR-71 Blackbird, the Cold War-era speed demon able to fly at Mach 3, which provided critical reconnaissance for the Air Force until the late 1990s, when it was retired. The SR-71 still holds numerous speed and altitude records.
The new Lockheed Skunk Works project, called the SR-72, is a proposal envisioning an unmanned aircraft that cruises at Mach 6, roughly twice as fast as the 2,300-mile-per-hour SR-71, meaning “an adversary would have no time to react or hide,” Lockheed Martin says in its promotional materials. A Skunk Works spokeswoman declined to comment on hypersonic projects.
The SR-72 could be operational by 2030, for less than $1 billion, according to the company, which has been touting the aircraft for several years.
Boeing has previously experimented with hypersonic flight with its X-51 WaveRider, a small scramjet platform, dropped from a B-52 bomber, which flew its last test mission in 2013 over the Pacific. The X-51 topped Mach 5, or about 4,000 mph. In the 1960s, NASA experimented with the manned X-15, a high-altitude, hypersonic flight program to inform future space missions. In 1967, the X-15 achieved a record Mach 6.7 (4,520 mph) at more than 102,000 feet.

On February 28, 2019 a Rededication and Wreath Laying Ceremony was held in memory of Veterans who served in WW II with the British and Allied Forces, at the Clock Tower, Cross Roads in Kingston. The Clock Tower is a monument in honour of brave volunteers of Kingston and St. Andrew.
In attendance were the Mayors of Kingston & Gibraltar (Twin Cities) along with one WW II Veteran James Crouch who laid the wreath in memory of the fallen veterans and other Veterans of the Jamaica Legion.
The Mayor of Gibraltar paid tribute, on behalf of Gibraltarians, to citizens of Kingston and St. Andrew who provided refuge to Gibraltarians who came under attack from the Germans in the 1940s. The Mayor was conferred with the keys to the City of Kingston in recognition of the over 70 years ties between the cities.

Objective: To examine the effects of oral and transdermal estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure (BP) recordings.
Methods: In a nonrandomized, prospective study, 90 normotensive, oophorectomized women, ages 30-59 years, underwent ambulatory 24-hour BP measurements at study entry and after 3 and 6 months of either oral (n = 50) or transdermal (n = 40) ERT.
Results: In the women receiving transdermal estrogen, we observed a change in mean nighttime systolic BP of -4.2 mmHg (95% confidence interval [CI] -7.7, -0.7; P = .039) after 6 months, treatment. There was a change in mean daytime diastolic BP after 3 months (-3.3 mmHg; 95% CI -5.5, -0.9; P = .016) and 6 months (-4 mmHg; 95% CI-6.8, -1.2; P = .014), and in mean nighttime diastolic BP after 3 months (-3.8 mmHg; 95% CI -6.6, -0.9; P = .027) and 6 months (-4.4 mmHg; 95% CI -7.1, -1.7; P = .005). No significant BP changes were observed in the women taking oral estrogen. Although the statistical power to detect a change of 4 mmHg at the 5% significance level was 90% for diastolic BP, it was weaker for systolic BP (63%) in this group. However, in more than one-third of the women receiving either treatment, a statistically significant increase in BP was observed.
Conclusions: Transdermal ERT was associated with a reduction in mean ambulatory BP, whereas oral treatment did not alter BP. Although the overall effect of estrogen was to lower BP, individual responses were variable, and BP increased in more than one-third of the women on either treatment. Therefore, long-term monitoring of ambulatory measurements may be required.

January 23, 2023 – As the National Capital Commission prepares to begin abatement work on 24 Sussex Drive this spring, the future of the prime minister’s official residence – not occupied by one since 2015 – is in serious doubt.
The federal government has yet to decide what to do with the dilapidated dwelling of the prime minister. However, new data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds half of Canadians (50%) oppose renovating 24 Sussex at the estimated cost of $36 to $38 million. Still, a plurality (41%) believe that to be the best solution, while a further third (33%) say it’s best to knock it down and build a modern home and office for the prime minister.
Amid the high costs of maintaining official residences, some of which date back to confederation, there appears to be little appetite among Canadians for taxpayers to fund homes for political figures other than the prime minister.
Seven-in-ten (69%) believe the government should foot the bill for a house for the prime minister, but fewer believe the governor general (39%), leader of the opposition (25%), or the speaker of the house (19%) should receive publicly funded housing. Though not as significant as the bill for 24 Sussex, all of the official residencies for those positions also currently have seven-figure deferred maintenance costs hanging over them.
Perhaps the biggest barrier to the required renovations has been fear of political fallout. Two-thirds (64%) of Canadians believe this to be the case, saying recent federal governments have failed to maintain the prime minister’s residence “because they are afraid of the public backlash.” However, just half (49%) who say federal governments let 24 Sussex fall into disrepair because they were afraid of the political consequences also say they support the renovation of the prime minster’s official residency at the estimated cost.
The Angus Reid Institute (ARI) was founded in October 2014 by pollster and sociologist, Dr. Angus Reid. ARI is a national, not-for-profit, non-partisan public opinion research foundation established to advance education by commissioning, conducting and disseminating to the public accessible and impartial statistical data, research and policy analysis on economics, political science, philanthropy, public administration, domestic and international affairs and other socio-economic issues of importance to Canada and its world.
The official residence for Canada’s prime minister has not had a prime minister in it since 2015. Instead, since his election that year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family have been living at Rideau Cottage, a house on the grounds of Rideau Hall, the official residence of the governor general. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper lived in 24 Sussex from 2006 to 2015, despite it already being in poor state of repair. A 2008 auditor general’s report estimated it would cost $10 million to renovate the building at the time.
When it was revealed Trudeau and his family had no interest in moving in when first elected as prime minister, several renovation reality stars offered their services to get the job done. However, a full-term majority and two successive minority governments later, 24 Sussex is still an unfixed fixer-upper and the price tag to get it up to snuff is now estimated to be at least $36.6 million. The property now has more mould, lead, and asbestos than occupants, as the last government employees vacated 24 Sussex in November due to its poor condition.
The challenge perhaps facing successive governments as 24 Sussex crumbled is the optics of spending millions on a house for a prime minister. This might be especially an issue in an era where the cost of living, and especially housing affordability, continues to be a top national concern.
Canadians are more likely to oppose than support spending $36-38 million to renovate 24 Sussex Drive. Half (50%) oppose the expenditure, including 30 per cent who do so strongly. Those who voted for the Conservatives (60%) and Bloc Québécois (60%) are stronger in their opposition than those who voted Liberal (34%) or NDP (44%):
After a year of high inflation, half of Canadians said in December they were worse off now than 12 months earlier. It was a financially difficult year for many Canadians.
Related: Holiday hurt: Inflation realities deflate Christmas shopping plans, two-in-five cut back on charitable giving
Perhaps because of this, those in lower income households are more likely to oppose spending the more than $36 million to renovate 24 Sussex.
As well, men are much more supportive of the $36-million repairs (48%) than women (34%):
The federal government is still working on its plan for 24 Sussex, but has not divulged any details. Some have proposed that a completely new building could be built, one with both space for official meetings, additional rooms for visiting leaders and staff, as well as the residence for the prime minister and their family. Perhaps they will even spring for central air conditioning so visiting vice presidents won’t have to sweat in the July heat. This would give the prime minister a residence with similar functionality of those of other Group of Seven countries, such as the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Those who opposed, or offered no opinion on, renovating 24 Sussex were then asked if they would replace it with a modern home and offices or knock it down without replacing it at all. When those responses are aggregated with the Canadians who support renovating the existing structure, the data suggests a larger base of support for modernizing the official prime minister’s residences. Indeed, three-quarters (74%) would either renovate or knock down 24 Sussex and build something new. One-quarter of Canadians (26%) would demolish the building and not rebuild.
More than one-third (35%) in Saskatchewan believe 24 Sussex should be knocked down and not replaced, the most in the country:
Few, but still 13 per cent, of past Liberal voters would knock down 24 Sussex and be done with the matter. Past CPC (31%) and BQ (33%) voters are more likely to choose that option:
There is a significant political challenge to a prime minister seen as feathering their own nest. Former Prime Minister Jean Chretien said he was reluctant to spend on repairs for 24 Sussex because of the potential blowback when he was in office, despite needing buckets to collect water from a leak in a roof. It took a storm blowing off the roof for it to be replaced.
In Australia, there was much controversy over a $11.5-million renovation of that country’s prime minister’s official residence in Canberra. However, the prime minister and opposition leader cooperated to create an advisory committee to provide the government guidance on future renovations. In Canada, a former privy council clerk suggested that a trust with an endowment or capital fund could be created to manage 24 Sussex, removing some of the political barriers to the maintenance of the residence.
Two-thirds of Canadians (64%) believe the potential political fallout is why recent governments have failed in their responsibility to maintain the prime minister’s residence. This is also the majority belief of past voters of all four of the country’s major political parties (see detailed tables).
Men are more likely than women to believe public backlash has kept recent federal governments from maintaining 24 Sussex:
Perhaps that fear is well placed. Two-in-five (43%) of those who accuse federal governments of being afraid of the political fallout also say they are against spending the estimated $36 million or more to renovate 24 Sussex:
The National Capital Commission maintains five other official residences in addition to 24 Sussex Drive: Rideau Hall, the residence of the governor general; Harrington Lake, the country residence of the prime minister; 7 Rideau Gate, a residence used by visiting dignitaries; Stornoway, the official residence of the leader of the opposition; and The Farm, the official residence of the speaker of the house. (The speaker of the house also has the use of a small apartment located in the House of Commons itself.) As heritage buildings, some of which date back to the confederation of Canada, they require significant upkeep.
The NCC estimated in 2021 that the official residences, including their support buildings, have a total of $89.1 million in deferred maintenance, including the more than $36 million it estimated at the time would be required to fix 24 Sussex Drive.
Overall, Canadians support giving the prime minister housing at public expense (69%) but are less supportive of official residences for the governor general (39%), opposition leader (25%), and the speaker of the house (19%).
Only past Liberal voters support giving the governor general an official residence at a majority level (54%). Notably, former Governor General Julie Payette, who resigned from the position after an external review found a toxic workplace culture in her office, became the first governor general to not live at Rideau Hall during her four-year term from 2017 to 2021. Her successor, Mary Simon, did not follow suit when she took over the position in 2021, despite a looming $31-million deferred maintenance bill.
Three-in-ten (30%) of Canadians under the age of 35, and one-third of those aged 35 to 54, say none of those government positions should come with taxpayer-funded housing. Canadians over the age of 54 are more supportive of an official residence for the prime minister (78%) and the governor general (45%) than younger age groups. However, support for the latter falls short of a majority level even among that age group:
The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from Jan. 13-16, 2023 among a representative randomized sample of 1,602 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding. The survey was self-commissioned and paid for by ARI.
