After World War II, Germany was occupied and divided into four zones administered by the main Allied powers. After tensions mounted between the Soviet Union on the one side, and the United States, Great Britain, and France on the other, the Western powers combined their zones and allowed the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Soviets responded by forming the German Democratic Republic (GDR) to govern their occupation zone. The United States refused to recognize the GDR until 1974. The GDR was absorbed by the FRG in 1990 when Germany reunified.
Division of Germany and U.S. Non-Recognition of GDR, 1949.
Following the German surrender to the Allied powers on May 8, 1945, Germany was occupied and divided into four zones. Each of the main Allied powers (the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, and France) was responsible for the administration of its zone. In 1947, the United States and Great Britain merged their zones. After tensions arose between Soviets and the Western powers, the German Federal Republic (FRG, commonly known as West Germany) was created out of the American, British, and French zones on September 21, 1949. The Soviets then oversaw the creation of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, commonly known as East Germany) out of their zone of occupation on October 7, 1949. The United States responded by stating its position that the GDR was “without any legal validity,” and that the United States would “continue to give full support to the Government of the German Federal Republic at Bonn in its efforts to restore a truly free and democratic Germany.” As prospects for early reunification of Germany dimmed, the United States established full diplomatic relations with the FRG on May 6, 1955.
Recognition of the German Democratic Republic, and the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations and the American Embassy in Berlin, 1974.
In response to the improvement of relations between the two German governments, representatives of the United States and GDR negotiated arrangements for U.S. recognition of the GDR and the establishment of diplomatic relations, which occurred on September 4, 1974, when the United States and East Germany released a joint communiqué to that effect. Despite this step taken to deal with the reality of the German situation, the United States continued until German reunification in 1990 to view the FRG as the sole legitimate successor government of the historical German state and a future reunified Germany.
Establishment of Diplomatic Relations with East Germany and the American Embassy in Berlin, 1974.
The American Embassy in Berlin was established on December 9, 1974, with Brandon H. Grove, Jr., as Chargé d’Affaires ad interim. John Sherman Cooper presented his credentials as the first U.S. Ambassador to the GDR on December 20, 1974.
Germany Reunified under Auspices of the FRG, 1990-1991.
Following the collapse of one-party rule in East Germany in late-1989, the signing of a Unification Treaty by East and West German Governments on August 31, 1990, and a series of meetings between the foreign ministers of East and West Germany, the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union in Bonn, Berlin, Paris, and Moscow, a Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany (the so-called “Two Plus Four Agreement”) was signed in Moscow on September 12, 1990.
On September 25, 1990, President George H.W. Bush submitted the treaty for ratification, and the U.S. Senate obliged unanimously on October 10. The treaty finally went into effect on March 15, 1991. Since the five constituent federal states of the German Democratic Republic were technically absorbed by the Federal Republic of Germany under the terms of Article 23 of the “Basic Law” (which was subsequently abolished under the terms of the Unification Treaty so as to limit any further changes to the borders of Germany), there was no reason for the United States to recognize the reunified Germany as a “new state.” The United States maintained its embassy in Bonn; however, it closed its embassy in Berlin on October 2, 1990.

Igneous rocks are formed when molten rock (magma) cools and solidifies, with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks. This magma can be derived from either the Earth’s mantle or pre-existing rocks made molten by extreme temperature and pressure changes. Over 700 types of igneous rocks have been described, most of them formed beneath the surface of the Earth’s crust. The word “igneous” is derived from the Latin ignis, meaning “fire”.
Granite is a common and widely-occurring group of intrusive felsic igneous rocks that form at great depths and pressures under continents. Granite consists of orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars, quartz, hornblende, biotite, muscovite and minor accessory minerals such as magnetite, garnet, zircon and apatite.
Secondary calcite may also be deposited by supersaturated meteoric waters (groundwater that precipitates the material in caves). This produces speleothems such as stalagmites and stalactites. Limestone makes up approximately 10 percent of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks.
Slate is a fine-grained homogeneous sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash which has been metamorphosed (foliated) in layers (bedded deposits). Slate can be made into roofing shingles (‘roofing slates’ in the UK) because it has two lines of breakability: cleavage and grain. This makes it possible to split slate into thin sheets.
Because of its hardness (about 7 on Mohs’ scale of mineral hardness), crushed quartzite is often used as railway ballast.
Travertine is a white concretionary form of calcium carbonate that is usually hard and semicrystalline. It is deposited from the water of mineral springs (especially hot springs) or streams holding lime in solution. Extensive deposits exist at Tivoli, Italy, near Rome. The largest building in the world constructed largely of travertine is the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

Can you claim Eden spawned vehicles?
Was wondering if it's possible to claim vehicles placed using Eden Editor.
Could you point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this?
Keep in mind the vic will be at the same place after a restart as its an object when you placed it after taking the dudes out.
You need to adjust the claim vehicle script to let it allow that people are able to claim vehicles wit h your uid.
Claim vehicles has a little check on line 33 - 35.
Change the presistent to whatever you like, in your case your uid and a include a check for other spawned vehicles if its needed.
@flyingdutchmen Thanks for the help. I was, however, incorrect it seems on Eden vehicles. Before you get in the driver's seat it shows "Unlocked" and owned by "Server". Once you get in the driver's seat it shows your UID. I will just adjust a DMS mission to spawn vehicles.
or, get the spawn vehicle on AVS to work or even get the persistent vehicle spawner from reborn.

Place sanctions against a country in an attempt to have its citizens rebel against their government and, at the same time, say that you hold no animosity against that population; your only problem is with their government. How does that work? How did it work against Iraq? Maybe one of the 900,000+ children who died in the land of the Euphrates could have explained this concept had he or she survived those sanctions.
Targeting the livelihoods of innocent nationals because you don’t like their government is nothing less than sabotaging lives. Cutting off their medicine and food supplies is laying siege on their health. It is as simple as that – it is a crime against humanity.
Iran has had sanctions imposed on it for nearly forty years now and it is still as far from going down on its knees as it ever was. It enjoys strong diplomatic relations with plenty of countries who really matter in terms of economic, technological, and military cooperation. Iran does not need the United States’ seal of approval. Time and again, this country has confirmed to the free world that it is impossible for the United States to meddle with any nation that spends a great deal of its annual budget on education, health care, and development. In other words, a nation with a government that prioritizes its citizens.
In Iran, if you are a law-abiding citizen, you are untouchable by any law enforcement agency regardless of the color of your skin. This is not the case for the country that tries to school Iranians about democracy from beyond the ocean.
Iran has strict gun laws; children go to schools without fear of being shot in the classroom.
Iran never sent warships to bomb the innocent citizens of Lebanon; the New Jersey did not sail under the Iranian flag when it pounded civilians with shells ranging in weight between 1,900 and 2,700 pounds.
The Islamic Republic is backed by its people who refuse manipulation of their natural allegiance towards their flag.
When the American president speaks about the need for Iran to change its policies, the Iranian people get perplexed. Does it mean that they should follow the American example? Should their judicial system start giving harsher prison sentences to those of a darker skin color? Should the Iranian police strangle those selling cigarettes in the streets? Which part is the American administration talking about?
If not regarding domestic issues, then one might presume that the United States government is referring to changes in Iranian foreign policies. Again, being the ones doing the preaching, it means they represent the example others should follow. In this case, Iran would need to stop supporting the people in its region against terrorists and do like the United States does, namely give weapons and strategic support to al-Qaeda and “ISIS”. The primary American allies in the Middle East, the Saudis, have spared some children in Yemen; perhaps, Iran can go butcher those to gain American consent.
There is confusion like never before when it comes to the American administration’s logic. On one hand, they speak of human rights, liberty, and democracy. On the other, they encourage the annihilation of Palestinians and Yemenis. Understanding the American official rhetoric is becoming increasingly difficult. It appears as though the American definitions of liberty and democracy are contrary to those of the rest of the world.
Having lived and worked in Iran for several years, I know for a fact that the average Iranian citizen does not hate Americans just like he doesn’t hate his own government – it's very difficult to find the concept of ‘hate’ in the Iranian society. He does, however, dislike anyone who disrespects his way of life and his country. This average Iranian is educated enough to identify cheap theatrics performed by leaders of foreign powers like Trump and Netanyahu. A majority of Iranians feel like there are continuous attempts to insult their intelligence when they are given lessons in democracy by one whose army has invaded other countries and another who leads an apartheid occupation government.
Iranians are proud of their leadership that has not conducted assaults on other countries. They gather, in support, around the authorities that manage to keep the country safe from foreign meddling and intervention. Not so long ago, the C.I.A nearly succeeded in creating an Iranian civil war that would have resulted in partitioning the country into smaller ethnic states; the Iranian public knows this and knows, all too well, that after failing in utilizing sectarian and racial tools, the American administration is trying to upset the Iranian people/government harmony with sanctions.
There’s no denying that embargoes carry negative effects when imposed. But, their consequences become diluted when the targeted people make an art out of resilience.

A week ago I was in Utah teaching a couple hundred amazingly creative women how to do a reverse applique on various mediums from tee shirts to tote bags to little baby hats. The joy of sharing this technique, which has been a signature treatment in our line since 2002, is pretty indescribable. Seeing faces light up as some had never even sewn a button before, to watching others carefully make every stitch as if it was a work of art. And indeed it was! Fiskars generously donated my favorite pair of scissors, 8-Inch Softgrip Bent Scissors to each and every person who took my class. Bazzill donated an embroidery floss set along with 2 needles.

Florence and Capri aren’t exactly easy places to open a world-beating high-end boutique hotel. But by comparison, Rome is the big leagues. You can see why the minds behind JK Place wanted to wait until they could be assured of getting it right — and get it right they most certainly did.
Michele Bönan’s designs may be some of the most recognizable in the business, but they’re always tailored to the location — here they’re stunning as always, a little more sober than the nautically inspired JK Capri, and a bit more vibrant than the very restrained Florence edition.
With just thirty rooms and suites it’s definitely boutique-scaled, though within the rooms you’ll find comforts to rival the better luxury hotels — this means top-end materials and furnishings to back up the visual punch, and bathrooms that are worth writing home about.
The location, near the Spanish Steps, makes JK Place’s ultra-discreet service and posh boutique seclusion even more important. What it lacks, in comparison with the typical five-stars, is a comprehensive list of facilities — but many of us would happily miss out on a gym and spa if what we get in return is a stylish rooftop terrace bar and lounge, the perfect place from which to contemplate the prospect of a more permanent Roman holiday.
This is perhaps one of the most exciting new boutique hotel openings of 2013. Just as its sister hotels JK Place Capri and JK Place Florence, the Rome hotel exudes luxury and elegance—and delights with wonderfully eclectic interiors.
Alfresco cinema! The rooftop JK Café Bar has great city views and in the summer months the Fellini classics are screened there.
Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Food is definitely the fuel that regulates your energy and your mood, and these superfoods take the cake (or maybe the kale!) when it comes to helping you be more focused. I try to treat the foods you eat the same way as the oil you put in your car engine to help it perform. You wouldn’t put olive oil into your car… so why would you put chocolate syrup into to your body? It just doesn’t add up. So if you’re looking to boost your focus and improve your productivity…. one of the places you should start with is what you’re eating…. like these superfoods.
We all know that antioxidants are good for you, and superfoods are packed full of them. They pick up free radicals and help decrease inflammation in your system that can lead to weight gain, brain fog and even joint pain. My favourite superfood of the berry bunch is the Haskapa Berry. Native to Japan, the Nova Scotia climate is perfect for growing these antioxidant-filled punches of flavour. Antioxidants are important for your focus because they help to stimulate the flow of blood and oxygen to [your] brain. More blood flow = more brain power – what more can I say?
I LOVE a good hit of caffeine to help perk up my brain power…. but green tea goes one step further than the true love of my life (coffee) due to the l-theanine content of this herb. L-theanine is great because it’s been shown to “increase alpha-wave activity”, which increases calmness and releases caffeine more slowly; instead of all at once. This is great for productivity and focus because it means that you can get your work down without worrying about that crash.
I LOVE KALE. But not everyone does. One of the reasons dark green leafy vegetables are so critical for our brain power is because they are filled to the leaf (ha!) with antioxidants, carotenoids and B Vitamins. The combination of these compounds help to boost your brain power and protect those synapses (which transmit signals across your brain) as well as helping your memory.
These fish; like herring, sardines, kippers and mackerel, are filled with omega-3 fatty acids. These omega-3’s help to aid memory, mental performance and brain function, and those of us with less omega-3’s are more likely to have poor memory, mood swings, depression and fatigue.
Please. If you want to improve your focus, you need to drink enough water. Water gives the brain the electrical energy for all rain functions, including thought and memory processes. Plus, you can imagine after living in NS winters what dehydration could only do to your brain.

Home More Withdrawing From The Provident Fund Account Without Knowing The Taxation Aspects?
When Akshay came to my office with his documents for filing his return of income he was very sure that he didn’t have to pay any taxes. As the discussion went ahead I came to know that he has resigned from his first job after serving three years of employment and he had also withdrawn the entire amount lying in his Provident fund account. If Akshay had known of the Income tax provisions he wouldn’t have committed this mistake. The amount withdrawn from the PF Account was entirely taxable in his case and he has to pay taxes on the PF withdrawal.
EPF or Employee provident fund savings are meant for towards retirement years. It is generally advised not to withdraw the corpus before retirement. According to the provident fund norms, 12 percent of an employee’s salary goes into the fund along with a matching contribution from the employer.
At the time of making a contribution the amount contributed by your employer is tax free if it is within the specified limit which is 12%. Any amount contributed by your employer over and above 12% is taxable in your hands as “Income from Salary”.
Your contribution towards PF can be claimed as deduction under Section 80C. Since the maximum deduction allowed under Section 80C is Rs.150000, therefore that is the maximum you can contribute. It is mandatory to contribute 12% but you choose to contribute more, which will be deducted from your salary. However the deduction that you will get is limited upto Rs.150000.
The Interest earned over and above 9.5% is taxable as “Income from other sources”.
If the withdrawal from a recognised PF happens after five years of continuous employment, it attracts no tax liability. In case of employment with different employers, if the PF balance maintained with the old employer is transferred to the PF account of the new employer, it is considered as continuous employment.
If an employee has been terminated because of certain reasons beyond his or her control (such as ill health and discontinuation of business of employer), the withdrawal does not attract any tax, irrespective of the number of years of employment.
In case of a withdrawal before five years, the amount become taxable in the same financial year. Thus the amount to be shown in your tax return for the next assessment year. The Employer’s contribution to PF and Interest earned on it is added to one’s income and taxed accordingly.
In addition, if you have claimed benefits under section 80C on your own PF contribution, it will taxed as Salary. The interest earned on your own contribution will be taxed as “Income from other sources” and taxed according to the respective tax slabs.
If the withdrawal is after a period of five years of continuous employment, it attracts no TDS or any tax. However if the withdrawal is before the period of five years then the tax shall be deducted @10%.
Do not commit a mistake like Akshay, always take an advise from Professionals before doing any financial transactions.

In this paper we will present different storage approaches for XML documents, the document centered, the data and the structure centered approach. We will then focus on the structure centered approach and will introduce an abstract view on XML documents using tree graphs. To make these tree graphs persistent different storage techniques are mentioned and evaluated concerning the creation and retrieval of complete documents. Measurement results are shown and shortly discussed for creation and retrieval of different (complete) XML documents. Moreover we will shortly introduce the partial mapping extension, which helps to optimize the generic structure based storage approach for specific documents whose structure is known in advance.
The results presented come from the ongoing implementation of a high performance generic document server with an analytic decision support agent.

Within it’s vast ecosystems, animals roam freely and palms take root, contributing to the abstract landscapes we witness today. In recent times; however, human desires have contributed to the loss of habitat and many species. Key deer have fallen victim and are an endangered species. In deciding to represent these deer, I hope the beauty of their species would draw attention to our need to protect them. With raised human awareness we can help the key deer population rise. Saving animals like these is truly the key to life.

The best health insurance company for you depends on two things: your budget and your preferences.
All health insurance companies and plans are federally mandated by the Affordable Care Act to cover ten essential benefits, which include preventative care, emergency services, and hospitalization. All health insurance companies and plans are also required to adhere to the same consumer protections, also laid out by the Affordable Care Act. This means that you can trust that each health insurance company is held to the same standard, making it much easier to compare on price and individual preference.
When comparing health insurance plans, many people look at the base monthly price only. This monthly cost, called the premium, only represents one of the expenses that contributes to how much you'll spend on health care in a given month.
Other expenses, like your health insurance plan's deductible and the copay and coinsurance costs, directly contribute to how much you'll be spending overall on health care. Typically, a plan with a lower monthly premium will have a higher deductible, copay, and coinsurance percentage, which increases the amount you'll spend out-of-pocket for health care services.
When choosing a health insurance company, make sure to look closely at these costs. If you plan on utilizing your health insurance plan frequently – because you're managing a chronic condition or otherwise – the least expensive plan may not be the plan with the lowest monthly premium.
The other thing to consider when choosing a health insurance company and plan are your preferences when it comes to doctors and prescription. Are there certain doctors you want to make sure are in your plan's network? Particular prescriptions? Plans that cover doctors and prescriptions you need may be more valuable to you than plans that don't.

PAL (Duke’s Center for Philosophy, Arts, and Literature) is delighted to announce its fifth Young Scholars Workshop, on March 22 and 23. The overarching topic for this year’s workshop is “Character: Identification, Ethics, Ontology.” The workshop seeks to explore the question of character in literary criticism and ethical debates from new angles. Our visiting speakers, and workshop leaders, are two of the most exciting literary critics in the United States today, namely Rita Felski (University of Virginia, Charlottesville) and Amanda Anderson (Brown University).
On Thursday March 22, Rita Felski and Amanda Anderson will give their public lectures, beginning at 4 p.m. These lectures are open to all. (You don’t have to be a member of the workshop to attend.) On Friday March 23, we will have a one-day workshop for invited participants only. The workshop will take up the whole day and evening. At the workshop, Toril Moi will give a paper on character. Three specially invited young scholars from other U.S. universities will respond. In the afternoon, Amanda Anderson and Rita Felski will each lead a workshop/seminar on texts of their choice. The texts will be made available in good time before the seminar. We will round off with a plenary session, followed by a delightful reception and dinner for participants only. PAL seeks to provide a forum for young scholars to exchange ideas with colleagues and outstanding senior scholars in productive ways. The aim is to help students grow as thinkers and intellectuals.
The workshop on Friday 23 is limited to a maximum of 18 students. We are happy to accept applications from specially interested undergraduates, as well as from graduate students across the disciplines. In the past, we have always had one or two participants from UNC as well as Duke. Please note that if we get too many applications, we will give preference to students registered for the PAL certificate, and to students who have particularly strong intellectual interests in the workshop’s topic.
Your discipline (department), and your year. Example: 3rd year grad. student English.
If you are registered for the PAL Certificate, please say so.

In December, MLB and the Cuban Baseball Federation had announced a deal that would make it easier for Cuban players to play in America.
The Trump administration canceled a deal between Major League Baseball and the Cuban Baseball Federation that would have made it easier for Cuban players to come play in the United States, an administration official told USA TODAY.
The official, who requested anonymity, said the move would make it more difficult for Cuban players to sign with MLB, though the immediate details of its impact were unclear.
In December, MLB and the players association reached an agreement with Cuba's baseball federation to allow players from the island to be scouted and signed by the league without having to defect. The agreement was based on a decision from the Obama administration that allowed the Cuban baseball federation to be considered separate from the Cuban government.
Under the agreement, the players could receive 100 percent of a signing bonus, but the signing team would pay a posting fee to the Cuban federation. This would have been similar to the system that is currently in place for players coming to MLB from Japan.
The Trump administration argues that the country's baseball federation is actually part of the Cuban government, making the business illegal under current law.
Critics of the agreement, notably Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, feel that the posting fee going to the federation amounts to paying the Cuban government ransom for baseball players.
"The U.S. does not support actions that would institutionalize a system by which a Cuban government entity garnishes the wages of hard-working athletes who simply seek to live and compete in a free society," said Garrett Marquis, a National Security Council spokesman.
For decades, Cuban players have risked their lives escaping from their homeland to destinations like Mexico, Haiti or the Dominican Republic, where they could establish residency.
"We stand by the goal of the agreement, which is to end the human trafficking of baseball players from Cuba," MLB said in a statement Monday.
In a tweet retweeted by the Cuban Embassy, the baseball federation said that "attacks with political motivation against the agreement harm the athletes, their families and the fans."
Earlier in April, the Cuban federation announced the first list of 34 players who would be authorized to sign with MLB clubs.

The process behind altering the earth's atmosphere and therefore its climate is now well understood. Humans mine from the earth and from the bottom of the oceans the compressed fossils of organisms that lived on the planet eons ago. These beings were sustained by the energy captured from ancient sunlight beamed through space in an epoch before the first mammals had even evolved.
The industrial revolution and subsequent, derived technological expansion reverses this process. Power stations, the boiler in your cupboard and the engine in your car take the fossilized remains of ancient animals and burn them. This combustion releases the energy that was captured back in the day and returns the complex organic carbon matter back to molecular form (CO2 and water). Because we live in a 'fossil fuel economy' almost everything we do has a carbon footprint. However, because this is a new science and only recently taught in schools many people struggle to understand what a carbon footprint actually is. A carbon footprint is the carbon released into the atmosphere from whatever you do, but how can we conceptualize this? People discussing climate change often use the unit of a tonne of co2. We know that on average in the UK we release 11 a year, about 1 a month. In the US it is about double this. Specific activities can be given a carbon footprint. For example, flying to New York releases about 3 tonnes of co2 and flying to Australia about 10.
What is this tonne? Where is this tonne? What is it doing? Even within the low carbon world this practical information is not well understood. Presumably this is because we are discussing an invisible gas. This may get to the heart of the climate challenge. No one can see it happening. The 'greatest threat humanity has ever faced' is invisible and gradual (until it goes non-linear that is; if feedback loops amplify change so that it 'runs away' change will be fast and irreversible).
Last year I worked with a crack squad of artists, architects, event producers and the world's leading projection company to construct a sculpture the size of 1 tonne of co2 at COP 15 and project upon it a range of climate themed audio visuals.
Standing in front of the work of art elicited a range of psychological, emotional and physical responses. This mega monolith manifested in downtown Copenhagen was so big (8m x 8m x 8m) it was shocking; but it was the accompanying data that really knocked the wind out of you. In total humans release 80 million of these suckers every day (2006 data)_._ Stacked on top of each other these would go to the moon and back 1.5 times (every day). In a year the figure is 28,431,741,000 tonnes. In other words we have got cubes coming out of the ying yang!
This staggering scale is even more sobering when it is made relative to the total volume of the atmosphere. From the scale of us humans busy with our daily endeavours on the planet's surface the atmosphere seems enormous. It dwarfs us. However, at the scale of the planet the atmosphere is almost unnoticeable. The atmosphere and oceans are so small in comparison to the overall earth it is comparable to a film of water on a billiard ball. Even all the mighty oceans only make up 1/4000 of the earth's total mass. The scale height of the atmosphere is about 8.5 km.Whereas the radius of the earth is6,371.0kmin other words the earth is more than 1000 times bigger than the atmosphere.
The total annual emissions of greenhouse gasses from human activity are a not insignificant percentage of the total atmospheric mass. If our atmosphere was the size of an apple, every year we are sticking a pea size amount of poisonous gas into it. We have been doing this since 1750. It is not unbelievable that doing this would create a change to our atmosphere and to our climate. It is unbelievable that we have been doing this for 250 years and we are still around to talk about it. Why aren't we already extinct!? The resilience of the earth's atmosphere is largely down to the dynamic nature of the ecological systems that make up the biosphere. At this point it may be worth pointing out that at the same time as pumping vast amounts of gas into the biosphere we are also removing the great forests of the world which draw co2 out of the atmosphere.
Whatever your ideological stand point you need a healthy atmosphere to breathe. The people who are slowing down and hampering global efforts to preserve our atmosphere fit into 3 different categories. They are either not educated to the level to enable them to understand the science; they are stupid or they work for the fossil fuel industry. If you can't understand the science for whatever reason, we politely ask you: please step aside; your ignorance is deadly. Those who can understand the science are aware of an enormous imminent threat and are working hard to find solutions. For the other category you are worse than irresponsible. You are traitors to your species, your planet and this grand evolutionary adventure. Your greed is endangering all of the life on this planet. The best thing we could do with you would be to stick you on a planet that doesn't have an atmosphere and see how you like it when your eyes pop out of your skull rapidly followed by your evil little reptilian brain.

Discussion in 'Long Range Hunting & Shooting' started by AlaskaIsGodsCountry, May 8, 2010.
New to the forum, and thought I would ask a question.
Does anybody know of any 'smiths that will do a custom build using a Weatherby Mark V action? Will they blue print the action and true everything up? I've heard that the Mark V action can be really difficult to do this to and that is why not many poeple use them for accurate custom builds. Never been a real fan of the remy actions because of the bolt throw and I've shot Weatherby's for years and years and its what I am used to...freebore and all. I would be open to another custom action type as long at it doesn't have more then a 60 degree throw.
You must already have the Weatherby action ?
Broz on this site had a 338 EDGE built on a Weatherby action, I think. Might want to send him a PM and ask what smith he used.
Correct, accept it is a .338 Lapua. The rifle still shoots very well and has 700 rounds through it. This one was built by "Long Shot Precision" "Joe Starnes".
I have had two rifles built since by a Smith from the Great Falls Mt. area, Dave Young " Youngs Gun Smithing" . One is a 6br on a Weatherby Vanguard action and it shoots lights out. The other is a Custon Defiance action. The smith that did the last two loves the Weatherby mark V actions and has built some AWESOME V-block full floated rifles with 34" tubes off the Weatherby 378 case.
I have tons of respect for the Weatherby Mark V action. It is tough as they come, cycles smooth and I have found the accuracy to be great.
I would definatly give Dave Young a call. He will lend a ton of Weatherby Mark V knowledge toward your project.
I know you'd chime in and glad to know things are working out with Dave.
It's always nice to have access to 3 excellent gunsmiths in an hours drive.
Ed you are correct. Along with many other things Montana houses some excellent Long Range gunsmiths. Everytime I look out the window I am gald I own some good long range rifles and it is no wonder why some of the best builder are here.
I think the Mark V is a great action to build a custom rifle !!!!!
It is not diffacult to build on and the action is very strong and smooth operating.
than most actions which allows you to seat the bullets longer and still fit in the mag.
RUM or the 30/338 Lapua imp. is an excellent performer.
I have built lots of rifles on the mark V and have been very pleased with them.
a good one on this site that will help you out.
Are the magazines all the same length in the WBY magnum actions?
I have a 300Wby Accumark that I have been toying with the idea of making into a 30-338 Lap Imp. I know Wby actions aren't light but I already have this rifle and I would like to turn it into my 11lb packing gun with no more than a #5 28in tube.
Would this be a viable option and can the bolt face be opened up, SAFELY, to .588???
I had my 30-378 WBY modified by Dave Viers at Vierco and it came out great and very accurate to 600 yds (4-6 inch groupings), hold about 10" at 1000yds, with a Lilja barrel, Manners stock and custom trigger apart from bedding it etc. He ll also custom load ammo for you. He loaded 175, 210 and 240 SMK.
little longer to allow the bolt to open wider. (Easy to do).
all of this for less than $100.oo.
J E, yes it does thank you. Also what do you think of switching to something like a 30-338 Lap Imp and my choice of barrel length?
There are different length mag boxes that change out easily. They also can be modified by adding length to them. Also bolt stops are very easy to lengthen and yes, My 338 Lapua on a mark V handles the enlarged bolt face just fine, 700 down the tube and counting.
The only thing I recommend is having a spare extractor on hand. In several years of shooting Mark V's with the big 378 cases, I have broken two. They change out easy by driving out a small pin. Not a big issue, especially if you have one on hand.
Thanks for the good information. I have a donor 30/378 action on one of my old wby rifles that is just setting in one of my gun safes. Just like new, as its only has a couple 100 rounds through it. Heck, it even has a new 6.5-20 Mark 4 on it and I've never used it out in the field. Nice shooting rifle for a factory one, but just way too heavy. Maybe I could take this action and start from there.
How does the 30/338 Lapua imp. compare ballistically to the 30/378 wby? What is a typical load with a 30/338 Lapua imp and any issues with dies or anything for reloading? What is the case capacity of the 30/338 lapua imp? What barrel length do you suggest as a compromise between effecient utilization of case capacity and practical hunting? Would a 26" barrel to too short, or would you suggest 28"? I am just thinking that anything longer then that and I would start losing some praticality.
Thanks again for the good information, it is appreciated.
Brad Stair of Wasatch Precision Arms built my rifle from my German 300 wby.
I have 25 rounds through the barrel so far. (Break in). I have not seen any cooper.
With 75 grains of Retumbo pushing 168 SMK, my groups are coming together. I’m going up to 79 grains Max LOAD FROM Serria. So far thing are look-in great. Brad is a great guy and does awesome work; his shop is in OgdenUT.
guide you through the build.

STUTTGART, Germany AND AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Growth in members, rental time and rentals, business customers and the addition of new vehicle models: car2go continued its successful course in 2018. The market leader in free-floating carsharing increased its number of members by 21 percent to 3.6 million worldwide compared to the previous year. In North America, the number of members increased by over 20 percent to 1.2 million users.
car2go, the market leader in free-floating carshare, increased its number of members by 21 percent to 3.6 million worldwide in 2018 when compared to the previous year. In North America, the number of members increased by over 20 percent to 1.2 million users.
car2go cities in North America with the most members are Vancouver (192,000), Calgary (134,000) Seattle (127,000), and New York (122,000). New York was car2go's fastest growing North American city in 2018, enjoying nearly 41 percent year-over-year growth. Chicago, car2go's newest North American location, surpassed 10,000 members just three months after its launch in July.
Berlin (282,000), Chongqing in China (273,000) and Madrid (237,000) remain the car2go cities with the most members.
car2go also recorded strong growth in its locations with purely electric fleets: Amsterdam, Madrid and Stuttgart, growing membership by 18 percent to 430,000 people.
"2018 was a very successful year for car2go," said Olivier Reppert, CEO of car2go Group. "We significantly increased our customer base, expanded the number of business customers and launched a promising new location with Chicago. Much more is happening in 2019, and with the launch of car2go in Paris next week, we will add another purely electric car2go city to our growing portfolio."
Last year alone, members rented one of the 14,000 car2go vehicles more than 25 million times. Especially in the cities of Berlin (plus 401,000), Milan (plus 303,000) and Turin (plus 174,000), the number of rentals increased significantly. car2go members completed more than 12 percent of all journeys with electric vehicles, causing zero local emissions. On top of that, the average rental time increased by more than 10 percent compared to the previous year.
Strong growth among business customers underlines that carsharing gains more importance not only in the private sector but also in the world of businesses. The number of business customers at car2go increased by 37 percent in the 2018 financial year: more than 58,000 companies are already offering car2go as a mobility solution for their employees.
Research has proven that free-float carshare like car2go effectively reduces road congestion while improving urban air quality. The University of California Berkeley study found that each car2go vehicle removed as many as 11 personal cars from the road, and has a tangible, positive impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as overall vehicle miles/kilometers traveled.
car2go was the first and still only carshare service actively supporting the goals of Vision Zero and the Road to Zero Coalition. car2go recently launched free road safety courses to all U.S. members as part of our ongoing commitment to Vision Zero.

Who’s ready for a long overdue round of dressing room selfies? I know I am! Like pretty much the entire Internet, we too love and obsess over the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. So after a particularly challenging few days with the kids, I took off when my husband got home for nails and a try on sesh! This is such a great time to find a few special things you need or want for the coming fall season. Of course I don’t have early access (that is for credit and debit card holders only) so I have to wait until July 20th when the sale opens up to the rest of us. But while it always feels bittersweet to wait, I typically make my wish list well in advance. That ensure that there are plenty of fab things waiting for me that morning to choose from.
Now let’s get down to the dressing room selfie session! Here are several of my favorite things that I tried on. You can shop them below as well as some of the shoes I loved. All are GREAT deals. For reference I’m typically a size 8 and kinda tall.
This Caslon Utility Jacket was a hit and a total bargain! This was a medium and I find Caslon runs a bit large. I would probably buy a small so it didn’t balloon too much. It also comes in Camo!
Talk about a surprise, this Madewell cardigan was a knock out! It looks way more frumpy online. In person it’s cute, soft and just lovely. It is waiting on my list!
If you are looking for a black leather (or faux leather) jacket, this little Topshop number was perfect! It looked way more high-end than it’s price tag. A great fall wardrobe addition!
Just look at those fun details!
This Trouve leather jacket is the real deal. It is so soft and the drape panels fall just right. I have a Trouve leather jacket in camel that gets so much wear that I’m thinking this is a worthy investment.
Ready for date night? This red wrap dress is pretty and so fun! I would maybe size up one size if you are taller like me.
And this is the ellusive striped sweater! I loved this Topshop sweater when I tried it on. And I can’t find it online anywhere! If you spy it please send me the link, ha!
If you are loving these looks and our dressing room selfies just as much as we are, shop them below! Early access is already underway and all access starts on the 20th!

All Star Game 2012 Final Vote time is upon us (ballot here).
It's good to see MLB at least trying to connect casual fans with stats. In an effort to more clearly look at the cases for each player, let's pick out a few other stats that could enlighten the discussion.
teammate, Dan Uggla, in KC.
Starting with the National League, at first glance, Michael Bourn has the clear inside track. He leads the group in Batting Average, Runs (by a lot) and Stolen Bases (by a lot more). The Braves center fielder also looks like a solid choice, considering he leads in Wins Above Replacement and Runs Above Replacement on both Baseball-Reference and Fangraphs.
The Braves have two nominees, as Michael Bourn is joined on the ballot by his teammate, Chipper Jones. The 19-year veteran is the sentimental selection among most fans, sportswriters, and other players. He's battling through injuries, and the distractions of being in 1989 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar farewell season, to post excellent results when healthy. Fans from all parts have been showing their admiration. Even through inter-league play, fans in Tampa Bay gave him a standing ovation, while the Yankees surprised him with a framed 3rd base from Yankee Stadium.
Chipper may deserve the votes, from a nostalgia perspective, but to give him a case using stats, he has the best OBP, Win Probability Added, BB% and K% among the five finalists, and is tied with Aaron Hill for best wRC+ at 130.
Aaron Hill is seeing the ball well.
It's important, when looking at counting stats, to note that Chipper Jones missed a lot of games due to health, and Bryce Harper was facing Minor League pitching in April.
By mentioning Aaron Hill's "balance", we're not talking about the aesthetics of his swing. What he has shown is an ability to him more pitch offerings than his counterparts. The hitters on this list have done most of their damage on fastballs and curveballs, while struggling with sliders and changeups. Hill has positive Pitch Values versus five pitches (FB, SL, CT, CB, and CH). Chipper Jones has had success versus four (FB, CT, CB, SF), and the rest of the group no more than three.
Aaron Hill is an interesting choice, who may be most deserving of votes, but will probably end with fewer votes than the fan favorite phenom from DC: Bryce Harper.
19-year old Bryce Harper is a thrill.
The National League's version of Mike Trout is an exciting player to watch, with prodigious bat speed, power, a rifle arm, and exuberant hustle on the base paths.
The last #1 Overall pick to hustle down the first base line on all balls put in play as much as Bryce Harper was Shawon Dunston, who was drafted in 1982.
Unfortunately, Bryce Harper's success on the baseball field has not resulted in a lot to show statistically. Harper has done most of his damage against fastballs, but he swings at the highest percentage of pitches (both inside and outside of the strike zone), with the lowest contact percentage in the strike zone of the entire lot. He has the lowest fWAR and is the only player with a negative RE24 quantity. In Baseball-Reference's WAR calculations, Bryce Harper only surpasses David Freese, who has a virtually nonexistent case to garner votes.
The defending NLCS and World Series MVP won't have to buy a drink in St. Louis ever again, but he shouldn't be the 25th man on this year's NL All Star Team. Freese is the worst base runner in the bunch and is the only one with a negative WPA. His Contact percentage (74.4%) is the worst in the group, while just a hair ahead of Harper's 74.5%. By comparison, Aaron Hill leads the group with an 86% contact rate, while the league average is around 81%.
David Freese has no business being on this ballot.
Switching gears to pitching, and the American League ballot, we are looking at three starters and two relievers. I don't believe we need to worry about how the choice affects the construction of the AL pitching staff, rather focusing on which player is most deserving.
Right away, I can throw out Jonathan Broxton's name. Not impressed by the 20 Saves, if you're going to make this team as a reliever, you'd need K/IP numbers and an ERA more in line with Ernesto Frieri.
Starting Pitching is inherently more valuable than relieving because of the ability to produce more value by completing more innings pitched for your team, as well as showing the ability to fool major league hitters multiple times in the same day. Ernesto Frieri will need to have stats that blow away the starters he's competing against on the ballot.
Jason Hammel, Yu Darvish, and Jake Peavy each have strong cases.
Voting for Yu Darvish will be attractive to those who side with MLB's old stand-by pitching stats: Wins and Strike outs. He has the most strike outs in the group, and his 10.3 K/9 unsurprisingly leads the starting pitchers. Frieri paces the group at 15.0 K/9, while Broxton trails everyone with a puny 6.8 K/9.
Jason Hammel will be popular among those who lean on xFIP, SIERA, and GB%, as the Orioles' hurler leads the group in each. One of this past offseason's best trades was on February 6th, when the Orioles' General Manager, Dan Duquette, sent Jeremy Guthrie to Colorado for Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom.
On the South Side of Chicago, Jake Peavy is having a magical season, leading the group with a 4.21 K/BB ratio, 5.4% BB rate,as well as both Wins Above Replacement measurements (B-R and Fangraphs). Not that it matters for voting purposes, but beware of Peavy's future, as he is surviving with a 35% GB rate and 7.6% HR/FB (Career 9.3, with most innings at Petco Park).
We don't often support the White Sox, but Peavy gets our vote.
Does one of these starters done enough to outshine Frieri's accomplishments? Sure, it's only one or two innings at a time, but his 41% strikeout percentage is holy. His .132 Opponents' Batting Average shines, and - again - that 0.75 ERA is brilliant.
In the end, we are going to vote for Aaron Hill, as he also leads the NL group with a .371 wOBA, 130 wRC+, and 1.6 WPA/LI.
On the American League front, Jake Peavy is getting our vote. We didn't let our Chipper Jones sentimentality get carried away, with our last choice, but some of what is driving us to Jake Peavy is to reward him for coming back from a career threatening injury. He has thrown a much higher First Strike % than his counterparts and also leads his peers in RE24, REW, and WPA/LI.
Like a Bush campaign, Darvish will get support from Texas and Overseas.
Who's getting your vote? Harper and Darvish? That's who we expect will win.

Joe Bacal, is only enter in the off-road racings from last two years, but with his stunning driving skills, he made and impeccable victory at Laughlin Desert Challenge 2010.
He was driving his Lexus LX 570, and heading first towards the end, and the other competitor Justin Matney, as the second coming slammed the Joe Bacal’s car and damaged it. It was close to the winning point when Justin Matney pushed him hard.
Joe Bacal recovered the lead shortly and passed him behind with full and thrilling speed, and leave Justin with no choice, but to embrace failure. Finally, Bacal gets the first class victory at Laughlin Desert Challenge 2010.
This was one of the most difficult races Bacal has ever been into. It was like a sprint race in the heart of desert and where speed just knocks you off! The only thing you can think of, is the finish line and makes you pretty much flat out. Bacal didn’t even have time to wipe his visor, it was fanatical but the Lexus is just like a sky rocket.

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Jan. 31 (PIA) -- The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) is set to install 230 KV power transmission line 2 to provide N-1 or new line for the existing transmission line serving Cagayan and Isabela.
Atty. Cynthia Alabanza, spokesperson and adviser for external affairs, said this project involves the installation of a second circuit from Santiago City to Tuguegarao City substations bypassing Gamu substations.
She said they observed that Cagayan Valley is very vulnerable to weather disturbances such as super typhoons that affect transmission of electricity to the cooperatives that is why they need to establish another line to serve as alternative in case line 1 will be heavily damaged.
"This new line will provide reliability as tripping of existing Santiago-Gamu and Gamu-Tuguegarao 230 KV lines will no longer result in the isolation of the customers at the load end substation in the area," Alabanza explained.
Alabanza said the plan was conceptualized after the typhoon “Juan” in 2010 wherein several posts were severely damaged.
Further, Alabanza said the project will benefit the northeastern part of the grid by providing reliable power supply. "This shall also serve as the first step in strengthening this part of the grid as Cagayan is also among the areas identified to be rich in renewable energy potential particularly wind," she added.
Alabanza likewise stated that they have acquired new helicopter to be utilized in emergency restorations anywhere in the country, especially in the typhoon-prone areas like Cagayan Valley.
She also explained that NGCP is linked with the state grid of China, their partner investor, that is very much ready to provide technologies and other needs in times of restorations and rehabilitations, while NGCP assures manpower and equipments.

A: Lancer Tactical’s rifles are manufactured in a number of different factories in the airsoft world.
A: The only proprietary parts of note on Lancer Tactical rifles are their external parts, due to their polymer body construction. An example of this would be the rail system on their M4 series.
A: Lancer Tactical does use OEM’s, and they use a few of them. However this is not something to be worried about, as they’re all held to rather high quality standards by Lancer Tactical.
A: The average AEG has a lifespan of about 4-5 years, provided that they are maintained well and not heavily modified. Lancer’s rifles are no exception to this rule, and can hold their own in terms of longevity when compared to more expensive rifle.
A: Lancer Tactical has rifles ranging from the very low price of $99.99, up to the low $200 range. This covers not only budget and starter rifles, but even some higher quality mid-range rifles.
A: Lancer Tactical tailor-makes their rifles for the money conscious player. They have some of the most inexpensive AEG’s available on the market, and these still manage to compete with rifles that are far more expensive. From the newest players to the savviest ones, Lancer Tactical has you covered if you’re not looking to break the bank.
A: “LiPo ready” is mostly just an industry term that’s thrown around willy nilly. Lancer Tactical’s rifles, like most AEG’s, will be able to handle a 7.4v LiPo right out of the box. An 11.1v LiPo will also work in these rifles, however you’re more likely to run into durability issues due to such an increased rate of fire.
A: There are not really any compatibility issues with these rifles to speak of when it comes to bb’s or magazines. They’ll accept pretty much any high quality bb or magazine that you have around.
Q: Does Lancer Tactical offer a warranty on their guns?
A: While Lancer Tactical does not offer a manufacturer’s warranty, Fox Airsoft has you covered with our 30/30 Warranty/Return policy. If you don’t like it, you can return all brand-new and unused products in the manufacturer’s original packaging to the store within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
Q: What is Lancer Tactical’s specialized model or type of gun?
A: Lancer doesn’t necessarily specialize in one particular model of rifle. Instead, they focus their efforts on two. They make a number of different rifles under both the M4 and AK category, and they’re all special in their own way.
Q: What is Lancer Tactical's coolest gun?
A: Lancer’s Beta Project AK’s are without a doubt their coolest product. These are some very unique AK’s that have all of the cool external features of an M4, and more. From an ambidextrous charging handle, to an ergonomic pistol grip, to a crane stock on a buffer tube, to a modular RIS, the Beta Project AK’s really have it all.
Q: What is Lancer Tactical’s wackiest gun?
A: The wackiest product that Lancer makes is probably their AK74u RIS. First of all, it has the strange size component of your normal AK74u. Combine that with an even smaller rail system, and you get a pretty strange gun. Oh and, should you feel like making it even smaller, this gun has a folding stock.
Q: What sets Lancer Tactical apart from the others?
A: Lancer offers some very, very durable guns for the price point. Fox Airsoft uses their rifles in our rental fleet, and we’re consistently impressed with how durable these rifles continue to be. The price tag on these products is most certainly not representative of the quality that they bring to the table.

LONDON — An asset management firm has been told to repay customers after using their money to settle its market data bill, Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said in a crackdown on commission charges.
The watchdog’s chief executive acknowledged that it is losing patience with firms that fail to comply with stricter rules imposed to help safeguard the UK’s position as a leading centre for asset management — a sector crucial to government efforts to encourage more people to save for their old age.
British asset managers pay brokers about 3 billion pounds ($5.1 billion) a year in dealing commission, which is passed on to customers, but FCA investigations found that many firms have been using this as cover to get customers to pay for market data and research of questionable value.
Only trading fees and useful research can be passed on to customers as dealing commission, but the watchdog’s Chief Executive Officer Martin Wheatley said the review of 17 investment managers and 13 brokers found that only two investment managers were fully in line with the new rules.
“We are in active discussion with one firm on redress for clients after we found it used dealing commission to pay for market data services in full, despite clear statements that this was not consistent with our rules,” Wheatley said.
Given poor compliance with the regulations, Wheatley added that the FCA is now backing a European Union (EU) law to separate research and trading fees to encourage greater competition and transparency.
Britain must comply with EU law in any case, but in the past the watchdog had been willing to “work with the grain of an industry-led solution”.
“The UK is a global centre for asset management — to keep this position it is crucial that investors are confident that they get a fair deal,” Wheatley stressed.
The Investment Management Association sought in February to head off a tougher regime by issuing its asset management members with guidance on dealing commission.
It said this month that it is considering the FCA review and remains committed to supporting a regime that operates in the best interests of investors.
Also this month, the FCA launched a wide-ranging review of competition in wholesale financial markets, which will also take in investment firms.
Separately, the Bank of England (BoE) said British banks had a “dreadful record” on mis-selling complex interest rate hedging products to small businesses and warned that it would keep a close eye on them.
Before the financial crisis, many businesses bought the products to protect against interest rate rises, but ended up facing crippling costs after the BoE cut rates to a record-low 0.5 per cent in March 2009.
Last year, the FCA ordered Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland , HSBC and Lloyds Banking Group to investigate nearly 30,000 cases of potential mis-selling.
To date, the banks have paid out just a third of the 3.75 billion pounds ($6.38 billion) they set aside to pay compensation.
BoE Governor Mark Carney, speaking to a panel of lawmakers about financial stability, said there had been clear malpractice and that firms’ problems should not be viewed as an inevitable side-effect of low interest rates.
“This just goes right back into the mis-selling issue and it’s not a monetary policy issue,” he said.
Andrew Bailey, the BoE deputy governor responsible for bank regulation, said the “dreadful record of British banks and selling hedging products to customers” meant he would be looking closely to see if they bent new rules meant to stop this.
“We will have to be very vigilant about this,” he remarked.
British banks have also set aside more than 20 billion pounds to compensate individual borrowers who were mis-sold so-called payment protection insurance policies to help them service loans if they fell ill or lost their job.
Some lawmakers were not happy with the BoE’s assurances that it was keeping an eye on allegations of malpractice in high-frequency trading of shares in London.
New York’s attorney general has filed a securities fraud lawsuit against Barclays, accusing the bank of giving an unfair edge to US high-frequency traders.
Carney and Bailey said the FCA was looking at high-frequency trading in London, something that was not a BoE responsibility.
Some lawmakers said that kind of approach was responsible for the central bank’s delay in spotting the risk of malpractice in currency markets, something it is now investigating.
Referring to a previous committee hearing where this topic had come up, Labour Party lawmaker George Mudie said Carney had appeared disingenuous.
“Your face... was just so sly, I would have never played cards with you,” Mudie said.
Carney and Bailey said the current set-up — where the FCA is responsible for rooting out malpractice and the BoE is in charge of financial stability — had been agreed by lawmakers.
Last month, Mudie’s party colleague Pat McFadden had described the BoE under Carney as an “unreliable boyfriend” because of the mixed signals he had given on interest rates.
Regulators fined six major banks including Citigroup and UBS a total of $4.3 billion for failing to stop traders from trying to manipulate the foreign exchange market, following a year-long global investigation.
