The Mercedes AMG division is currently working on an entry level model that will sit alongside the already updated SLS AMG GT. While it is still up in the air whether this is the previously seen SLS Black Series or the smaller SLC is yet to bee seen. The new two-seater, that will likely be titled the SLC AMG, will be somewhat easier on the wallet and smaller than the SLS AMG GT, poised to go head to head with the Porsche 911 and Audi R8. Thanks to our good friend Andrus and GMotors.co.uk, we have the first photos of the new sports car testing in Germany.
According to GMotors, this early stage prototype/mule borrows the SLS body and looks almost identical to it, but at closer inspection you will notice a shorter wheelbase. The front and rear disguise is very likely hiding some of the final components.
Just as its bigger brother, the SLC AMG will be available in two body styles: coupé and roadster. The coupe version will come with regular front-hinged doors not the SLS’s expensive gullwing doors. Quite heavily disguised prototype has a shorter wheelbase and you can see that the front is also shorter when compared to the SLS. The new model uses a lightweight aluminium spaceframe and double wishbone suspension.
Power will likely come from a new twin-turbo V8 with up to 500bhp. A twin-turbo V6 might be offered as well for the base model. World debut is very likely in the end of 2013, early 2014.
We will of course keep you up to date on the latest news on the SLC, but for now check out the photo gallery below and decide for yourself which masterpiece it is.

Check up at the vet's this morning with Dr. Maxmen.
Dumpling has gained 5 lbs and is now a hefty 30lbs.
No more scabs, he just kind of semi-bald and a bit dry/flaky.
I had noticed his lymph nodes are very swollen; Dr. says its from draining and the skin infections. So, he's still a pretty sick pup, although he doesn't show it at all.
He continues with the antibiotics to deal with the ongoing secondary skin infections, and slightly higher Ivormectin dose (since he has gained weight) to get rid of that pesky demodex mange.

Police are investigating a Northside Church of Christ burglary that stripped the building of $2,300 worth of property.
Columbus officials believe the unidentified offender broke the church's west side glass door with an unspecified object between Sunday at 3 p.m. and Tuesday at 2 p.m., causing $400 worth of property damage.
The place of worship, located at 835 Double Churches Road, is missing a $2,000 black flat-screen TV, $100 "very old model" overhead projector and a $200 black and white TV from the place of worship, reports show.
It also appears that the burglary broke into the church's nearby shed, but members weren't able to confirm if anything was missing from that building, officers said in a report.
The case remains under investigation.

Etsy is a wonderful place that's full of epic fan art and handmade goodies. So, we weren't too surprised to see midi rings decked out in our favorite foods -- like a basket of fries, sushi and pizza -- selling on Jane Moate's Jane's Tiny Things shop.
And Jane's fingerlickin' designs couldn't be more relevant, according to the nation's current state in eating. While we're spending more money on salty goods, the Internet is a prime example of how snacks are manifesting themselves into our everyday lives, as explained by the snackwave theory.
So, we talked to Jane about her rad shop and learned the incredible process behind these delightfully greasy gems, also known as the yummiest jewelry we've ever seen.
What is the inspiration behind these rings?
As a nail artist and a nail decal designer, I'd hear from so many people that thought my designs were cool but couldn't imagine wearing crazy nail art. I love midi rings and I thought this was a perfect place to put something kind of quirky and silly. And since I'm just always thinking about food (seriously, breakfast ends and I'm already wondering what we're doing for lunch), I had to make them food-themed.
Have you always wanted to make accessories?
I have always wanted to own my own business. From when I was a little girl, writing out catalogs on folded pieces of paper, handing them out to my family, and then asking them to buy things like perler bead necklaces and pencils I had covered in wrapping paper. I tried a lot of different kinds of careers, including an accessories business I had with my sister about ten years ago. I do love making accessories. They can be your favorite thing of the moment or your favorite piece of a lifetime, and I love the personal nature of something that's on your fingers that you're constantly holding and touching.
What are the materials you use to make these?
I make each piece from polymer clay by hand. No molds: each one is completely sculpted. And the rings are actually made by me, too, out of brass or silver-plated copper wire.
What is the design process like? Do you bake them in an oven?
I start out looking at a million pictures of what I'm going to be making so I have reference of what the variation of colors and textures look like -- if the piece should be shiny or wet-looking or more matte or a mixture of the two. Then I use the ring itself as a size guide and start sculpting the piece. I add texture using pins and toothbrushes and crumpled up pieces of foil, and then brush on color using soft pastels to add those variations you see on actual food. And then they're baked in an oven and glazed, either with a a satin finish or a gloss.
What’s the best-selling ring?
Best selling by far has always been the pizza slice. There's seriously nothing better than a perfect slice of pizza. That ring makes me hungry every time I wear it.
If there’s one food you could make, what would it be?
I love to do foods that are a little off-beat, like the fish bagel. Something people wouldn't normally think of adorning their fingers with, but the ones that get it are always like, "Um, so this is the ring that I've been wanting all my life and just didn't realize it."
I'm from New Jersey and I absolutely love diners, so I'd love to do mini diner plates of food. Like, a bowl of matzoh ball soup, a chicken salad sandwich with a pickle and cole slaw, things like that. They'd be microscopic and you'd probably need a magnifying glass, but I think they'd be cute!
Speaking of which, is there a food that's super tricky to nail down?
Sushi is probably the hardest because there are a lot of little pieces that all need their own individual texture. Where you see "rice," there has to be a lot of texture to show that there are grains in there. The seaweed can't be smooth. Adding the fish roe takes a long time, because each piece is individually placed.
Do you ever get requests from customers?
Two of my customer favorites - the bacon, egg and cheese set, and the cheeseburger - both started out as custom requests. I love when customers want something special because food and jewelry are both super personal, and making someone's favorite snack come to life is a lot of fun for me.
This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

With over two decades of parts, service, and racing experience under our belt, we provide only quality performance and replacement parts. It was released towards the end of M3 production and includes a number of significant changes over older versions for drivability and torque managment. For a detailed discussion of the connecting rod bearing clearance and rod side clearance design attributes, please see. We only offer parts we know you can trust to perform! If your engine experiences a premature failure of these components we can rebuild the engine; we recommend rebuilding the engine when it has between 100,000 and 150,000 miles on it. If they fail, it can lead to dangerous overheating issues and potentially leave you on the side of the road with an engine that's now only good for being a large paperweight. The inlet camshafts were chain-driven, though the exhaust camshafts were driven by a gearwheel drive.
The higher revs do not work in full auto D modes. We only offer parts we know you can trust to perform! When you increase power output or heat, the friction leads to the components growing in size and the oil getting thinner, which can lead to accelerated rod bearing wear on the upper half of the bearing shell. It also uses a lightweight titanium exhaust. Adjustment of camshafts: intake 60°, exhaust 37°. Problems with one or more coils will cause a fault code but not always a check engine light. Hella is a premium manufacturer that supplies automotive parts to numerous car brands across the world.
The resulting engine weighs 202 kg 445 lb : 15 kg 33 lb lighter than the straight-6 engine it replaces, while also being shorter. This puts the shift linkages in better consistent alignment. There is no direct replacement for the S65, since the following generation of M3 switched to a turbocharged straight-six engine the. You can increase displacement to 4. We use a special solid Delrin material on the motor mounts that is very heat resistant and sandwiched between aluminum mounting layers.
Engine of the Week is sponsored by. With a more rigid mount, torque that would otherwise be used up in twisting the rubber bushing will instead be sent through the driveline to move the car. Well, it's not that straightforward anymore. Our M3 cat delete pipes were the first on the market and have proven again and again to make big power on their own or especially when paired with our Stage 2 performance software. The drain system comes complete with a valve and hose to be mounted at a lower area of the vehicle so when you're doing an oil change you can drain the catch can. The price was competitive and your expedited delivery charge was surprisingly low.
If you want 700+ horsepower, then you should decreased compression ratio and spend much more money. You may use the stock camshafts, or optionally choose our special, very high lift racing camshaft kit which also includes a conversion to solid lifters and high performance valve springs with titanium retainers. S65B40 engine: throttle body actuator failure For the S65B40 engine, there are two throttle body actuators part no. The Power Pulley reduces rotational mass and safely under drives your belt driven auxiliaries for reduced parasitic power loss. The four valves per cylinder were actuated by hydraulic bucket tappets. Although the rod itself takes the brunt of the impact from the power stroke, when the engine is spinning at high rpms the piston wants to literally rip the rod off the crank, and the only thing holding it on is the rod bolts.
Other ignition components, such as coils, boots, wires, caps, and rotors, can also wear out over time due to factors like heat and contamination, preventing the current from reaching the spark plug. Additional race fuel maps are also available, contact us for details. Replacing this sensor is an easy and inexpensive first step if you're having any of these issues. Solid mounting kits should be used for race only applications and only as a matching set. Because all of your electronic systems run off of this small piece, it's important that it is operational. That is why in the next generation of M3 used V8 — S65B40. The pulley is also encased in rubber which will crack over time.
All this allows to get 507 horsepower at 7,750 rpm, redline at this engine is 8,250 rpm. The end result: More power to your M3's rear wheels! On intake used individual throttle bodies two rows of 4 , with optimized the intake manifold. By installing the crankshaft with a piston stroke of 82 mm, pistons of 94 mm, you get 5. The engine block and cylinder head are constructed from aluminum alloy. The cylinder block is the same as on S85, cylinder spacing — 98 mm, rod length is 140. The transmission can twist around with the engine and that can lead to the dreaded mis-shift over-rev.
You must contact Ghassan Automotive before shipping is arranged. When the factory wanted to upgrade their motor mounts, this was the solution! The rod bearings are responsible for keeping the rod end safe from the pounding it takes as 50-100 horsepower beats down on it from above. The redline is 8,400 rpm. We only offer parts we know you can trust to perform. We only offer parts we know you can trust to perform! Refer to the graphs below for the power results without catalytic converters on 100 octane race gas and using J607 the typical aftermarket correction. .

Capital News Service
RICHMOND, Va. — Residents in Richmond’s 5th District had their first opportunity to hear from the eight candidates vying for a City Council seat open in a special election. The winner will serve the remainder of Parker Agelasto’s term when he resigns Nov. 30.
With Richmond’s growth rate hitting double digits in the last decade many of the candidates centered the discussion around the needs of a growing city. They spoke painstakingly about improving Richmond Public Schools, transportation access and the need for more affordable housing.
“The important issues came out through how the candidates answered their questions,” said Zeke Brody, a 5th District constituent who attended the second forum.
Beyond the daily workings of the district, the council member could be responsible for a hefty vote that would impact the city for decades. The proposed Navy Hill project, centered around a new Coliseum, is a major downtown development plan that could be put to a vote during the new council member’s term.
The 5th District is one of two districts to have voters on both sides of the James River. The district includes Oregon Hill, Randolph, Carytown and parts of Southside. A broad swath of district constituents were represented between the two forums, which focused on different topics each night.
Candidates at the first forum at Fifth Baptist Church, north of the river, concentrated on poverty, evictions, gentrification and quality of life. Candidates fielded questions at the second forum hosted at the Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts, south of the river, concerning parking, pedestrian and cyclist safety and protecting the district’s parks.
All candidates attended both forums, with the exception of Graham Sturm who was absent from the first.
Below are responses to key issues from both forums, edited for length and clarity.
QUESTION: If you were on City Council today and the vote for the Navy Hill project was introduced, what would be your vote?
Jer’Mykeal McCoy, a business development manager: McCoy would vote no but is not against future redevelopment negotiations. He wants to ensure that locals are hired for projects.
Robin Mines, an associate minister: Mines would vote no. However, she believes there are ways to make the plan work and wants to see more information about the project.
Stephanie Lynch, director of government affairs, strategy and development for Good Neighbor: Lynch currently is against the project. She’s gathering more information before choosing her stance. “We have a history in building in the shadows and not in the sunlight,” Lynch said.
Mamie Taylor, a former Richmond School Board member: Taylor would vote no because it isn’t clear who will own the land slated for development. “This is our land,” she said.
Nicholas Da Silva, a recent Virginia Commonwealth University graduate: Da Silva said he spoke to hundreds of constituents in the 5th District. A majority of the people he’s met are against the project. “No, unequivocally and not for lack of information,” Da Silva said.
Thad Williamson, a professor and former adviser to Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney: Williamson would consider voting for the development. However, he said there’s not enough information about the numbers behind the project. “We need to take the time to be absolutely sure who owns things at the end of this,” Williamson said.
Chuck Richardson, former Richmond City councilman: Richardson said that any vote right now would be unwise and irresponsible. He said whoever is elected will have to hit the ground running and know how to vote on this issue, otherwise it could be bad for the city’s bond rate.
QUESTION: What will you do to prevent the unfair increase in taxes due to gentrification?
Da Silva: He plans to push for progressive taxation — tax rates that increase with income level — to help keep the city’s cost of living affordable for vulnerable communities.
Williamson: Williamson said Richmond needs a comprehensive housing plan. He would like to see more housing offered for all incomes and tax credits and rebates for vulnerable populations.
“VCU could be doing more to create workforce pipelines through social enterprises, minority contracts to make it a true powerhouse for economic equity that it potentially could be.”
McCoy: McCoy’s family lived in public housing for four generations. He is concerned about the low rate of African American homeownership. One of the solutions he proposed was to ensure homes stayed with their families after their older family members passed away. “Folks, don’t sell grandma’s house, we need you in these communities, we need to make sure y’all are not being pushed out,” McCoy said.
Lynch: Lynch said that raising property taxes should not be the go-to answer. She also wants to offer seniors information about rebate programs.
QUESTION: Bicycling and walking are prevalent forms of transportation and recreation for residents. What will you do to ensure the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists is prioritized as highly as moving cars through our roads?
Taylor: She has seen some positive changes in the transportation infrastructure but wants to see more bike lanes, roundabouts and speed bumps.
Graham Sturm, a high school teacher: Sturm wants better bike lanes because he knows two teachers who have been hit by cars while riding bikes. “A bike lane should not end into a parked car,” he said.
Mines: Mines wants lower speed limits in pedestrian-heavy areas. She said that raised sidewalks would be another effective tool in increasing pedestrian safety.

News of the recent victory by two interns with Fox Searchlight has some employment law experts saying private companies should brace for a surge of lawsuits from other interns who feel they were unfairly taken advantage of by their employers.
Only days after the Manhattan Federal District Judge William Pauley held that Fox had violated minimum wage law by not paying two production interns working on "Black Swan" other former interns announced similar lawsuits. In one case, two former interns at the New Yorker magazine and another from W Magazine filed suit against the parent company, Conde Nast Publications. The cases represent what many believe is the first wave of lawsuits challenging private corporations who pay little or nothing for intern labor.
Experts believe the first round of such lawsuits will impact what are known as "glamour" industries such as movies, music, television and publishing. These suits will likely cause employers in those sectors, and eventually those in other industries, to reconsider whether using unpaid interns is worth the risk of a future lawsuit.
In the case of the W Magazine intern, Lauren Ballinger, the lawsuit complains she was paid $12 a day to organize accessories, run personal errands for supervisors and make deliveries of merchandise to various vendors. Matthew Lieb, an intern at the New Yorker, says he received a flat $300 for each three-month internship and was required to respond to emails to the magazine, proofread articles and open mail.
Both interns have sued, claiming a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which requires that companies abide by an hourly minimum wage. The two are seeking permission to launch a class action suit against Conde Nast on behalf of all former unpaid or low paid interns.
The recent lawsuits follow in the footsteps not only of the Fox case, but also a suit by Xuedan Wang, a former Harper's Bazaar intern. In that case, Wang claims she was required to work between 40 and 55 hours per week without pay. In February of this year an unpaid intern with a model management company sued Elite Modeling for $50 million on similar labor law grounds.
Even more surprising was the recent revelation that Charlie Rose and his production company agreed to settle a claim brought by unpaid interns. Rose announced that he would pay back wages to as many as 189 interns, with the settlement totaling around $1,100 per person.
Experts say beyond wanting fair compensation for their work, the interns have realized that working for free actually costs them even more money in the long run. A survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that while paid internships increased the chance of receiving a permanent job offer, unpaid internships only slightly increased a person's chance of getting a job over someone who did no internship at all. Moreover, the median starting salary for a new college grad with a paid internship was nearly $52,000, but only $35,000 for those who did unpaid work. The results indicate that by accepting an unpaid position, graduates may be signaling to the employers that they are not worth as much money as other candidates.

Even if you take no interest in celebrity gossip, you probably know about last weekend's hacking of the Apple iCloud database to steal nude photographs from the accounts of (mostly female) celebrities.
And of course, there's already at least one phishing scam related to it; if you have an iPhone, ignore any text messages or emails allegedly from the Apple support team, warning of allegedly unauthorized activities on your account and requesting your ID and password to “fix” the problem.
On Sunday afternoon, anonymous posters on 4Chan started discussing a huge cache of nude photos which had recently been stolen from the Apple Cloud; by Sunday evening, news of the photos had spread all over the Internet, especially via Twitter.
Tuaw, the “Unofficial Apple Weblog,” noted on Monday that the hackers were apparently “seeking Bitcoin contributions in exchange for the images.” In other words, trying to blackmail money out of the people whose images were stolen.
Based on the currently available evidence, it appears that the thieves managed to break into the iCloud accounts by using a “brute-force” search to crack the accounts' passwords.
In hacking terms, a brute-force attack entails using software to methodically try every possible character combination until the right one is found. Suppose, for example, a password (such as Apple's) requires eight characters, a combination of numerals and letters, case-sensitive.
There are ten different numerals (0-9), plus 52 different alphabetic characters (26 letters in the alphabet, each with an upper- and lower-case symbol). So that's 62 different character possibilities, times eight spaces in the password, which means the number of different password possibilities is much higher than our cheap four-function calculator can process.
However, some quick online searching suggests the answer is 62^8, which is 2.1834011e+14 => 218,340,105,584,896 … even if that number's wrong, the correct answer is obviously a number far too high for any mere human to try all the different possibilities and crack the password by brute force.
But having a computer try all the different password possibilities is quite easy if you know how. Some password systems are set up to make brute force attempts impossible. Have you ever temporarily forgotten your password for a given account (or only remembered “Okay, I know it's the release date and first-line lyrics to one of my five all-time favorite songs; I just can't remember which specific song I used?”), and then, after a few failed tries, got a message saying you now had to wait a period of some minutes before you'd be allowed to try entering a password again? That was a security measure intended to prevent brute-force attacks.
Apparently Apple had no such limits in place to prevent brute-force hacking of its iCloud passwords -- though as of press time it appears the company has plugged that particular security leak.
What's especially scary is that in at least some instances, the actors didn't know their photos were still in the cloud. One of the victims, Mary E. Winstead, tweeted that “Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked.”
Deleting not enough
Deleting the photos from her own phone, or even iCloud account, apparently wasn't enough.
For that matter, it's possible that photos could end up in the Cloud without their owners even realizing it. CBS spoke to Chester Wisniewski, a senior security adviser at Sophos, who said “Whether it’s an Android or an iPhone, [mobile devices] have a tendency to enable this automatic synchronization to go ‘oh, you’ve taken a photo, we’ll make this available very conveniently in the cloud.’”
(Storing your presumably private photos in the Cloud isn't the only thing your phone might be doing without your knowledge; last June, we warned you about the then-recent discovery that malicious hackers were exploiting a weakness in any mobile device set to connect with certain public wi-fi spots—again, often without their owners' awareness.)
Apple released a statement saying that “We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report.”
The Wall Street Journal reported that “A posting on online code-sharing site GitHub said a user had discovered a bug in Apple's Find My iPhone service, which tracks the location of a missing phone and allows a user to disable the phone remotely if it is stolen. The bug allowed a hacker to keep trying passwords until identifying the right one. …. The GitHub post was updated on Monday to read: "The end of fun, Apple have just patched."
If you have an iPhone, even if you have no reason to think your own password was stolen in this most recent attack, you probably should change your password just in case. And, of course, remember never to use the same password for more than one account.
Keep an eye on your inbox, the lastest consumer news is on it's way!


Today we continue to introduce you to TSMaster's new feature, the Automation Module. Usually in the development process, if a certain logic will be used repeatedly in different scenarios, the first thing we think of is to encapsulate it into a function for reuse.
I. Control gear signal generating pulse
Control gear signal to generate pulse
> First go to the project folder, find the database folder in the Demo folder, drag in the example database file, then open the bus simulation, check auto start and check all the nodes so that it can run up automatically. We then open the trace and graph window and drag the block signal we are interested in into the graph, we then come to the automation module and press enter to add the action.
> The first action is set to wait for 1 second, here rewrite to 1,000 milliseconds, the message is not filled, so that it will not automatically pop up the READ window; the second action is set to change the block to two, at this time, just select the signal read/write attribute, click the right button to select our can signal for the block signal just now and click OK, and change this value to 2; the third action is to wait for three seconds, at this time we just copy the first action, press the key and paste to paste the wait action, then we will change 1,000 to 3,000, that is, wait for three seconds; the fourth action will change the blocking to 0, at this time, just copy the gear=2 to paste under the wait and change the 2 to 0; the last action to wait for one more second, we just need to wait the first wait to the last action and paste it. This realizes a process of waiting 3 seconds from block 0 to 2 to 0. Then we press F9 to run the program, from the graphics we can clearly see the process of changing gears, the process lasted 3 seconds.
II. Modify the width and height of the pulse
Modify the pulse width and height
Being a function is not as simple as just calling it, but also parameterizing what is run. For example, modifying the width and height of the pulse.
> This requires going back into our module and adding the variables height and width. Select the type of variable and then add two double type variables in the variable list, named time and value, we will abbreviate them as t and v, and change the default value of time to 3,000, as well as just 3 seconds value to 2. Afterwards, we click on the properties page, and then click on the blank space in the flowchart, so that the module's properties are selected.
> There is a column called Module Level Parameters in the bottom, right click on it and add a parameter group. We first rename the first parameter group as short, and right-click on this parameter group, select Add Parameter, will open a dialog box, which defaults to help us select the two variables we just added, we directly click OK, so that the increase of two sub-parameters, the value of these two parameters can be rewritten as a parameter of the module level arbitrarily.
> For example, we can change the time for short to 1,000 milliseconds and change the value of v to 3. Then we can add a second parameter group, just right click on the first parameter group, copy the selection, and click paste in the blank space, and we get the pasted parameter group. We rename it to long, and then we change t to 5000, the wait time will be a little longer, and we change v to 5. So far we have created two groups of parameters, short delay and long delay.
> Subsequently, we switch to the module screen, you can see the bottom of the module appears two parameterized entries, respectively, short delay and long delay, then we need to associate our code and parameters, we go back to this gear = 2 this action, double-click after you can see that the judgment value is written to death 2, we click on the selection of the local variable, select our value, so that makes this gear, has become a dynamic value, then the name we can rewrite at will, such as set gear, and then wait for the time, we can also associate it to our local variables, that is, the t, then this will realize the two variables just set and our program binding.
> Then we next select our short delay, press F9, the program will run in short delay, you can see that his delay time is just one second, and his peak value is 3. Then go back to our module list and select the long delay, press F9 and you can see that our program is running in long delay, it's delay length is 5 seconds, and the peak value is 5. So that's how a module is parameterized. So this is how to parameterize a module. Then we can list as many parameters as we want, and the number of parameters is not limited, so that we can realize the same logic for the same test for different inputs for various controls.
III. Reuse methods for automation modules
Reuse methods of automation modules
> First make this module a library, rename the module to set gear, so the name becomes set gear, then we right click inside the module list, create a new sub-module and name it caller, that is, caller, to call our current gear setting module. This time we go to the module page, we can right click on set gear and move it to the code base, after selecting it we go to the bottom and there is a static code base, expand it and you can see that our set gear is already in the static code base. The good thing about a static codebase is that it can't be modified arbitrarily, which means that any codebase we add can be saved here permanently and can be called from any of the modules above.
Then go back to the entry point of our caller function, press CTRL plus Enter, create a new action group, select the action group, then click on Properties, go to the right side to find the function of linking submodules, and then we can link to the code base of the set gear that we have just done, which realizes the association between our action group and the library file.
> As a library, the two variables inside its own module will not be created automatically, it is necessary to add variables with the same name inside the caller's module, we add two double type variables, rename it as t and v, then these two values can be changed arbitrarily, so that we can also realize the parameterization of the library, for example, we can shorten it to 500, then v is changed to 1, then we run the current caller, then we can see that after the gear runs, its value becomes 1, and the length of the delay becomes 500 milliseconds. For example, we can make it shorter by changing it to 500, and then we can change v to 1, and then we can run the current caller, and then we can see that after the gear is run, its value changes to 1, and the delay length changes to 500 milliseconds.
If we wish to call it multiple times, we can simply copy this action group ctrl c, ctrl v and then press F9 again, so that we can see the call repeated multiple times, and we can even modify the variable again each time to give it a different result each time it is run.
Then we can try to change it, let's say we'll change the selection, change it to 3,000, and then the value to 5, and then we'll F9, start it up, and this time we can see our new program running with different parameters. So that's one module and one complete parameterization.
The above is the reuse method of automation module of TSMaster's new features, we will see you in the next issue! (You can watch our B-site video for specific operation explanation)

Staff work around clock to keep hospitals going after cyberattack
Over 5,000 pieces of diagnostic equipment linked into IT systems are being tested at a hospital affected by the cyberattack.
Monday 15 May 2017 04:51, UK
Within the NHS trusts hit hardest by the cyberattack they have summoned up energy and expertise to get through a unique weekend.
Senior staff, IT specialists and the frontline medical teams have worked around the clock to maintain patient safety and to keep their hospitals functioning.
Whether or not their computers were on the right operating systems, and whether their cyber security was lax, staff had to improvise to keep their patients safe.
At the Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, over 5,000 pieces of diagnostic equipment that are linked into the IT systems were having to be individually analysed and tested.
No computer could be turned back on until it had been fully checked over.
Mum-to-be Zaina Amri was called in unexpectedly on Sunday for early blood tests ahead of her c-section at the Lister hospital on Tuesday.
She told Sky News that it was unsettling so close to her delivery date.
"It is a bit scary," she said.
"What is going to happen if there is maybe a problem with the theatre and we are not going to be able to go in on Tuesday? I am thinking of myself and the baby."
Natalie Reid was visiting her 85-year-old grandmother, who was stuck on a ward waiting for blood test results, before she could be treated for problems with her liver and kidneys.
She told Sky News: "My nan is very precious to me and the fact that this has happened and has affected the way she can be treated is quite disgusting really.
"I feel sorry for the IT guys who have been called in who are under massive pressure, they are not doctors and nurses, but now it is down to them as to whether people are going to live or die or get the treatment they need."

The Kamchatka Prosecutor's Office brought a charge with negligence against mayor of Petropasvlovsk-Kamchatsky Yuri Golenishchev, the Region's Prosecutor Alexander Voitovich said on Wednesday.
Recognizance not to leave was chosen as a measure of limitation with regard to Golenishchev.
"On Thursday the materials of the criminal case will be submitted to the court of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to decide the question of removing Golenishchev from his post for the time of the investigation," the prosecutor said.
On November 25 the college of judges recognized to be substantiated and satisfied the Regional Prosecutor's request to file a criminal case against Yuri Golenishchev. The judges saw the signs of a crime in the mayor's actions, in particular, negligence and complicity in thwarting the start of the heating season.
The consideration of the Regional Prosecutor's request to launch a criminal case against the Petropavlovsk mayor who is simultaneously a deputy of the Regional Council was put off six times because of Yuri Golenishchev's absence from court in connection with his illness. Five days ago the Prosecutor's Office could not bring a charge because of absence of Golenishchev's lawyer.
The mayor is currently in the hospital with a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease.
If the court finds the mayor guilty, this carries a punishment in the form of a fine or correctional labor for a term of up to six months. Golenishchev will not have the right to hold the post of mayor in this case.
Up to 16,000 military men of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been entrapped near the towns of Severodonetsk and Lysichansk

A real hero can protect and serve, but a true hero knows how to love.
What happens when a supposedly perfect match is so wrong it’s right? In this roller-coaster novel of destiny and desire from A. M. Madden, a red-hot cop and a broken beauty are linked by painful pasts . . . and one tempting future.
As an NYPD officer, Benjamin Stone is married to his job, determined to clean up the drug-infested streets. His partner, Rob, always has his back—except when Rob and his girlfriend, Andrea, play matchmaker at his expense. On Ben’s birthday, they’re at it again. Andrea’s friend is exactly Ben’s type, even if he stubbornly will never admit it. But it’s not the lithe brunette’s looks that intrigues Ben; it’s the hurt in her eyes.
Ella Parker is bright, beautiful, kind—and, thanks to one horrific night, severely damaged. She’d rather be training for her black belt or watching TV in her favorite pair of pajamas than be dragged out on a blind date. Sure enough, Ben swaggers into the club, locks onto Ella, and claims he’s not interested—despite the irresistible chemistry between them. So Ella decides two can play at that game. But when her dangerous past comes back to haunt her, Ben will break all the rules of seduction to keep her safe

Operation Of The BB Guns
BB firearms have restrained exactness and arise quick on spring tool for large distance precision. This makes the guns utilize the less difficult and more less costly strategies for interest. They can anyway paintings likewise as that of compressed air firearms.
The giant majority of the BB firearms applied nowadays are produced from metallic. This is the justification for why magnets are applied to keep the BB closer to the end of the barrel as the BB beds are excessively tough and can not be pushed in to the barrel mouth. Without any a magnet the BB would carry out of the barrel and may not be held through the barrel.
The more regular interest with the aid of which the firearms functionality is primarily based o the liver hobby framework. Such weapons have large restrict with 380 amo to ammo and are gravity based. The weapons should be held at a valid factor concerning the earth while the pellets get stacked in to the firearm.
The other useful framework normal in a weapon is the multi-siphon pneumatic. The outstanding elements of these kind of firearms are that they have rifled barrels. As the BB beds are difficult and extra modest than the barrel size so that they overlook to get geared up at the barrel. The rifles sooner or later overlook to give massive twist that would provide projection to the beds. Such weapons will assist most while lead shots are applied. The BB weapon with the pneumatic strength framework produces greater outstanding velocity and lots better pictures than the normal spring cylinder kind BB firearms.
Ultimately, pre-packed fuel is the opposite everyday type of force for guns. The 12 gram CO2 energy-allow is the maximum widely identified type of inner combustion utilized for the driving of the BB guns. The BB receives pushed by the 12 gm fluid carbon dioxide gas gift in the jug that disintegrates framing a gas and is the hotspot for controlling the gasoline of the BB bed. This tool become concocted via Crossbowman and the field containing the fluid carbon dioxide gas is dispensable. This factor is largely determined in gun type guns. The other massive element of this electricity framework is that no longer everyday for the other energy frameworks this makes discharging manageable with the help of the weapons. An ordinary BB gun with packed inner combustion includes a spring-stacked mag for looking after the Bb’s, and a cause device to move the projectiles.


David Sedaris on Tobias Wolf: Writers on Writing
A few weeks ago I went to see David Sedaris read some of his work at The Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale. I’m a huge fan of personal essays (Sedaris and Bailey White are favorites) and listening to the radio programs “The Moth” and “This American Life.” I don’t consider myself an auditory learner by any stretch, but I have a habit of reading my work to my family or whomever is around the house before I publish it. As a reader, I was enthusiastic about attending the event, but as a writer it turned out to be even better.
There’s something so deeply personal and intimate about watching a writer read his own work. In her collection of essays called Sight Unseen, legally blind author and creative writing professor Georgina Kleege describes the experience of listening to her students read their compositions on tape:
“….I also think there is something about having just read aloud for an extended time that makes them drop their guard. I sense they are not so much speaking to me as thinking aloud. I feel myself briefly invited into the mysterious space between the writer and the text.”
When writers read their own work aloud they give themselves away. They can’t hide their thoughts about the work as it unfolds. As I listened to Sedaris read I had the sense that I was reading with him, that we were experiencing the work together. Kleege comments on that type of experience, too:
“I have a sense of continuous back-and-forth commentary, where I bounce my ideas of the reader’s ideas, or what I perceive as their ideas from their intonations, mistakes, involuntary grunts, and sighs.”
This is all to serve as a reminder that writing is a process, a careful orchestration of ideas and language, not simply the activity of getting words down on paper. Good writing exudes its connection to its writer and the writer senses those moments when something has gone wrong when he reads his work aloud.It speaks to the beauty of editing.
What turned out to be that much more lovely at the Sedaris reading was his recommendation of The Barrack’s Thief by Tobias Wolf. The incredible craftsman and creative that he is, Sedaris didn’t say, “Oh man, this story is really gripping. You’re totally gonna love the main character.”Of course he said plenty about the content of the book and, amusingly, joked about its length, noting that we’d be able to tell people when they ask what we did last night, “Oh, you know, I read an entire book.”But if you’re a writer or you teach writing, you’ll know why one particular comment of Sedaris’ about The Barracks Thief jumped out at me.
“If you write yourself, the structure of this thing is just incredible.”
He might have said “terrific,” but I’m ninety-nine percent sure he said “incredible.”Either way, my inner grammarian, fundamentalist, and disciplinarian rejoiced.He’d already probably unwittingly given away the attention to which he paid each word choice, each turn of phrase, each joke he’d woven into the story with those “involuntary grunts and sighs,” to which Kleege refers. But, with that one observation, Sedaris gave away the craft.Writing is not “putting down whatever it is you’d say out loud on the page.” Writing is not transcription. The act of writing is the practice of clarifying thought. Storytelling isn’t “getting the point across.” It’s building a skeleton of meaning on which each word is carefully hung.As a writing teacher and as a writer myself, I was inspired to know that at the end of the day, one of my contemporary literary heroes pays an incredible compliment to his own literary hero with a nod to discipline: “the structure of this thing is just incredible.”


One Direction was formed eleven years ago on The X Factor by Simon Cowell. Members are; Louis Tomlinson, 27, Harry Styles, 27, Liam Payne, 27, Zayn Malik, 28, and Niall Horan, 29. The five were put together in the television music competition with little experience or idea of what would follow, and they did not know each other. Liam would recall later they had met earlier at Bootcamp, and they had shared a room with Niall. “We were competing then, and we had in minds we are against each other. It was strange how we were put together and didn’t know each other. It was such a leap of faith.”
The risk was worth it- they sold over a 70million records globally, turning out to be among the best-selling boybands, with a total net worth of over 280million euros today. They went on and became the most famous band worldwide. The band and fans were emotionally affected in 2016 when Zayn said he was leaving the group, declaring he wanted to be a “normal 22-year-old” away from the public eye. However, he immediately went back to his own performance.
The other members confirmed they would break five months later and have not rejoined up to date. Rumors spread that the band split, and they publicly admitted. Harry and Louis were renting a house together in North London worth 3million euros by the time they led in September 2011 with “What Makes You Beautiful.” But after a few months, they had purportedly stopped talking and parted due to a mysterious fight.
The rumors of the two having a romance affected their friendship, and they have never recovered since then. A source told The Sun then that no one knows what exactly caused their break-up as they did not even tell the other members everything that happened. Feelings were evidently so much that the two didn’t want to travel together. Their managers had to find a solution to make the last three albums without the boys being in the studio- Louis dismissed this rumor. Niall also denied the claim and asked fans not to believe the reports.
Niall said in a tweet that they were brothers and they would stand strong as a band. Their fellow member, Zayn, disclosed that the ‘Larry Stylinson’ fan invention, which portrayed the two were in love, had caused the boys to split up. Trying to make fans understand the outcome of their rumors, Zayn told The Fader that it was not funny, and it remains hard for the pair. “They won’t hug each other naturally because they are aware of the comments spreading, which is not even true.”
Liam Payne was relieved when the band split up.
Liam recently admitted that he felt relieved when the band finally ended. “The day the band split up, I was like, Thank the Lord,” he told The Diary of a CEO Podcast. He said he expected people to be mad at him for saying that, but he wanted it to end, or it would kill him. He explained how he could drink heavily to see him through the “isolation’ of regular touring and the persuasion of being in the spotlight.
He said the best way to secure their fame was to lock themselves in their rooms. “What’s in the room? A mini-bar. So, at some point, I thought, I’m going to have a party-for-one, and that appeared to happen for many years of my life.” He added: “Then you would reflect on how long you’ve been drinking, and you’re like, ‘Jesus Christ, that a long time.” Liam said it was wild, but it was the only means you could get the frustration out.”
The five members have moved on, and they all have succeeded in their music careers, and some have children. Liam is a father to Bear, 4, with ex-girlfriend Cheryl, and Louis shares son Freddie Reign, 5, with ex-girlfriend Brianna Jungwirth. Zayn’s girlfriend delivered their daughter Kai in September last year. In the meantime, rumors have it that Harry is dating a US actress Olivia Wilde, and Niall is seeing fashion buyer Amelia Woolley.
Last year, in their tenth anniversary, Liam said he had excluded Zayn from any possible reconciliation. He noted that it was on good terms when Zayn left, so he did not feel like it’s a thing. “If he didn’t want to be here, he shouldn’t be here, which is fine.” Simon, who brought the five together, is convinced he can make them reunite.

I once met someone who worked in a café in Iceland. She told me that one of the specialities of the café was pure water. It was bottled and labelled but the water did not come from a factory. The café owners simply filled the bottles from the pure mountain stream than ran behind the café. Apparently the tourists could really taste the difference, no additives or preservatives.
We look for the pure. Whether its pure water, pure wool, pure juice or pure motives. After all, our world is full of the impure and the polluted.
Every now and then one of our rivers has dead fish washed ashore. Pollution kills. In some cities like Beijing it’s hard to breath because the air is so polluted.
We long for pure air, water and food. We also are mindful that our minds can so easily be polluted. I think of what Internet porn is doing to innocent minds; it’s a form of mental pollution that can lead to other harmful effects. Jesus once said “Blessed are the pure in spirit for they shall see God”. (Matthew 5: 8). Jesus was not advocating a new kind of pharisaic perfectionism. He defined and lived out a new kind of purity, where the love of God, liberated people to welcome and embrace people who were considered unclean and unwanted, the poor, the leper and the prostitute. It was a holy and moral love without straying into moralism or sentimentality.
This pure undiluted love of God flowed freely in Jesus and is what he encourages in the awesome sermon on the mount. It is aspirational, for one of the first things we discover about ourselves is that we are far from pure.
We are a mix of good and bad. Saint and sinner, capable of great good and frightening evil. Still we aim high, with the help of the Spirit , the guidance of God’s word and the encouragement and correction of others.
We don’t need to hang around the church for very long before we discover that it is not a sinless community. As the American New Testament theologian Scot McKnight says, ‘the church is a hospital for sinners, not a retirement centre for the perfect”.
Many centuries ago, a group of Protestants were intent on purging the Anglican Church in England of all traces of Catholicism. They wanted a pure church. In the end, frustrated and disillusioned, they got in boats and became American Pilgrims.
Some of them followed a sad five step pattern out of the church.
- Step one, they discovered the glories of the church in the New Testament, while overlooking the flaws of the fragile community.
- Step two they had a fresh vision of the church, which was very idealistic and unrealistic.
- Step three they had real problems achieving their vision, not surprising they face opposition and their own fallen humanity.
- Step four, they got discouraged and became very critical of the church.
- Step five they withdrew from the church.
What began with hope and idealism ended with frustration and failure. Where did they go wrong?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, renowned Christian minister, professor, in his great little book, Life together speaks about people who have created a dream image of the church that doesn’t exist. He says “those who love the dream of a Christian community more than the Christian community itself become destroyers of that Christian community.”
Looking for pure or perfect Christians in a pure and perfect church is a failure to understand who the church is.
At our best we demonstrate in word and deed, the love, truth and unity of Christ, at our worst we are jealous, arrogant, loveless and self-centred. This does not mean that we give up on God or the church but rather we recognise that following Jesus is always about being in a community of faith, loving others in strength and in weakness. We are celebrate each other, while at times admitting our weaknesses and repenting of our sin. Truth is we need each other. With Christ and each other we can be the best we can be.
We hope and pray and work for the renewal, reformation and reimaging of the church. We are to love each other, despite our failings. That’s not about perfection, but it is about a journey forward together, being a pilgrim people.
This is what I have signed up for, what about you?
