Inconsistent and Illogical App Store Review

I’ve not been able to release the changes to Count The Days Left mentioned in my last post because of a very frustrating review from Apple’s App Store reviewers.

Review feedback

After waiting over a week for the new version to be reviewed, I received notification that it had been rejected. I assumed this was because of the Xcode bug I documented in the last post, but it was actually the following:

8.3 - Apps that appear confusingly similar to an existing Apple product, interface, or advertising theme will be rejected

8.3 Details: Your Apple Watch app contains features that mimic native iOS interfaces or behaviors. Specifically, the Complication used for your Apple Watch app mimics that of the native ‘Battery’ Complication design and interface.

Next Steps: Please revise these features to make them distinctly different from the iOS behaviors and interfaces to avoid causing user confusion.

Now although the reasons given for the rejection are factually correct, they really don’t make any sense.

Here’s a screenshot from my watch, with the battery complication in the center and the Count The Days Left on the right:

However there is a very good reason it looks the same - it’s using the CLKComplicationTemplateCircularSmallRingText template that is one of the few - and pretty restricted - template options available to a developer.

Almost certainly the battery level complication is using the same template, which makes a lot of sense. If you have a “progress” number you want to show - which both the battery and my app do - this is the logical template to use.

Obviously if using this template in your app isn’t going to make it through an app store review, it doesn’t make any sense to allow it in the complications SDK.

However the real answer is that using this complication shouldn’t be rejected by the reviewers. I’m obviously not trying to pretend my app is a battery level complication, and when the user is selecting their complication which one is which (as you can see below):

It’s this level of over restriction of their platform that can make it very, very frustrating developing for Apple’s platforms. I’m not advocating a free for all on allowed apps, and their needs to be quality control to not allow apps which abuse user’s data or the like.

However even the intent behind this rule doesn’t make any sense. The fact that my app’s complication looks like another one doesn’t harm the user in any way at all, and if they want to use both at the same time then why shouldn’t they?

If you’ve been following along as I’ve developed this app, you’ll have spotted the other flaw in Apple’s system.

The complication design hasn’t changed at all since the previous version which was deemed acceptable in previous reviews!

What to do next

I obviously appealed against the review to the App Store, giving the arguments I made above but it still got rejected.

I’m not sure how best to move forward now. I guess my options are:

  1. Resubmit the app again and hope this time I get a more favourable reviewer
  2. Change the complication so it looks differently, which will actually make the app less useful to its users
  3. Remove the complication from the app
  4. Give up, and just keep the improvements in the latest version for myself

Option 1 would be best, although it means waiting another week for a review with an unknown chance of success (probably low because I’ve already appealed)

Option 2 is what I may be forced to do, although it really pains me to make my app worse just to work around Apple’s incompetence

Option 3 would clearly make the app worse, and I know it’s a key feature for more than one user (including myself!)

Option 4 is where we are right now, and is where we’ll be until I find the energy to do something else :(

As you can probably tell, I’m not very happy on where this has ended up.

German exports slip for second month in a row

October 09, 2018 - 5:47 am

BERLIN (AP) — German exports dropped in August over the previous month for the second month in a row in the latest disappointing news about Europe's largest economy.

The Federal Statistical Office reported Tuesday that exports were down 0.1 percent to 110.3 billion euros ($126.24 billion) in August, in seasonally and calendar adjusted numbers. Imports decreased 2.7 percent to 92 billion euros, narrowing the adjusted trade surplus to 18.3 billion euros.

In unadjusted terms, the trade surplus was 17.2 billion euros.

Compared to August 2017, exports were up 2.2 percent.

ING economist Carsten Brzeski says "the traditional German growth engine is stuttering once again" with industrial production and exports losing momentum, "but reduced momentum from a high level is still no reason to worry."

They have been delaying sending my signed contract for few months. My initial investment was $41000 , in 4 months they show I have benefited $9000, when i make a withdraw request they say they never received it and the month after they have shown negative trade results and now my balance is $20000. Its very suspicious, when u call the head office in UK the secretary says they are all busy. I know 3 other people which have totally lost their money in this company and im talking about more than $100,000 that they have lost. The company keeps giving u excuses and no results. I dont trust them. Save yourself and dont put your money there. IFSFX bank guarantee agreement includes the address of the headquarter in UK and the company registration in UK. When I checked the address belongs to an virtual office center in UK called W1. I called them and the reply was that this company was their client having a virtual office till July 2013 and they are no longer there. Can you believe it? HQ is a virtual office !!! The IFSFX company registration number which was in the contract seems to be fake. I have checked with the company house of UK and the registration number doesnt exist. It even doesnt have the number of digits that all UK company numbers have. Another reason not to trust this company. The company has told their clients that if you want your money back you can either transfer all your money to trade credits so we can sell for your or you can buy the IFSFX company share. When you transfer to credit they will not sell it. If you follow up they will tell you that you need to market it yourself. Basically they are forcing you to do marketing for them.Their Director in Malaysia named David (Dawwod) Alizadeh called me and said he is not renewing his contract with the IFSFX. It is funny because he is literally the only contact person we ever had from IFSFX since no one in the HQ will ever answer your calls. When I asked for a contact from the company he promised to pass me some managers number which he never did.

1902 Encyclopedia > Smoke Abatement

Smoke Abatement

History. The nuisance created by coal smoke seems to have been recognized in London as early as the reign of Queen Elizabeth; but it is only in more modern times that the question has come to be regarded as one of real practical importance, and even yet it is far from receiving that general attention which it demands. In 1785 the first smoke-abating invention was patented by James Watt, who, as the inventor of the steam-engine, is responsible for so many boiler fires and so much consump-tion of coal. In 1815 Cutler patented the first would-be smokeless grate for domestic purposes; and his principle of feeding underneath was afterwards adopted by Dr Neil Arnott in a grate which has now been in use in one form or another for more than half a century. There is now a vast number of such inventions, good and bad. In 1819 the attention of parliament was directed to the question, and a select committee was appointed "to inquire how far persons using steam-engines and furnaces could erect them in a manner less prejudicial to public health and comfort." This committee gave an encouraging report. In 1843 another select committee recommended the introduction of a bill prohibiting the production of smoke from furnaces and steam-engines. In 1845 yet another select committee reported that such an Act could not in the existing state of affairs be made to apply to dwelling-houses. The Acts of 1845 and 1847 followed as the results of these inquiries; and since then there has been much legislation brought to bear on factories and railways. The results have been most beneficial; but very much still remains to be done. One is apt to think that, because steam-engines and fac-tories consume individually much more coal than dwelling-houses, they alone are responsible for the smoke nuisance, forgetting how greatly the dwelling-houses outnumber the factories. In reality there is little doubt that domestic fires are mainly responsible for the smoky condition of the atmosphere of our towns; and they for the most part continue to evolve smoke undeterred by legislation or scientific invention. In 1881, however, a movement was commenced by the National Health Society and the Kyrle Society, which resulted in a great smoke-abatement exhi-bition being held at South Kensington. At the close of the exhibition a national smoke-abatement institution, with offices in London, was incorporated by authority of the Board of Trade.

Combustion of coal. A knowledge of the nature of coal and of the chemical changes that it undergoes when burnt is essential for an understanding of the smoke problem. More detailed in-formation on these points is given under COAL, where the several varieties are described. For the purposes of this article coals may be classified as smoke-producing and smokeless, the former including all those varieties most commonly used as fuel. The elementary constituents of such coals are carbon (generally about 80 per cent. of the whole), hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulphur; and they also contain a varying quantity of earthy impurity or ash. The process which occurs in a coal fire consists of two dis-tinct operations. The first, which requires a comparatively low temperature and is independent of the presence of air, is one of destructive distillation, and is similar to that which occurs in the retorts of gasworks. It results in the decom-position of the coal, and in the rearrangement of its con-stituent elements and the formation of the following substances:—(1) hydrogen, marsh gas, carbonic oxide, olefiant gas, benzine, other hydrocarbons of the type of marsh gas or of benzine, water,—all of which are either gaseous at the temperature at which they are formed or capable of being converted into gas at somewhat higher temperatures, and all of which are combustible except the water; (2) ammonia and other compounds of nitrogen, and certain compounds of sulphur, which are also volatile and combustible; (3) coke, which consists of carbon (and ash) and is non--volatile but combustible. It is these products of distilla-tion, not the coal itself, that burn, in the strict sense of the word; and this second process requires the presence of air and also a much higher temperature than the first. If the combustion is perfect, the only products are (1) water-vapour, (2) carbonic acid, (3) nitrogen, and (4) sulphurous acid, the first of which contains all the hydro-gen originally present in the coal, the second all the carbon, the fourth all the sulphur, while the nitrogen is liberated as such together with the very much larger volumes of nitrogen derived from the air which has supplied the necessary oxygen. All these products of com-bustion are discharged through the chimney.

Two things are necessary for the ensuring of such complete combustion, viz., an adequate, but not too large, supply of air, properly administered, and the maintenance of the requisite temperature. In practice, however, these conditions are never perfectly fulfilled, and consequently the combustion of coal is always more or less imperfect and gives rise to a complex mixture of vapours. This mixture contains not only the combustion products already mentioned but also the following unburnt or partly burnt distillation products:—(5) hydrogen, (6) hydrocarbons, (7) carbonic oxide, which contains a lower proportion of oxygen than carbonic acid, (8) unburnt carbon in a very finely divided state,—and also considerable volumes of unused air.

Smoke. Usually the name "smoke" is applied to this vaporous mixture discharged from a chimney only when it contains a sufficient amount of finely divided carbon to render it dark-coloured and distinctly visible. The quantity, however, of this particular ingredient is apt to be overrated. It always bears an extremely small proportion to the vast volumes of water-vapour, carbonic acid, and nitrogen with which it is mixed; it probably never amounts, even in the worst cases, to 3 per cent. of the weight of the coal from which it is formed; and its importance, reckoned in terms of so much fuel wasted, is certainly not greater than that of the unburnt hydrogen and hydrocarbons. It is per-haps best to use the name "smoke" for all the products of imperfect combustion (5 to 8) which are avoidable, as contrasted with the necessary and unavoidable ingredients (1 to 4) of the mixture. The problem of smoke abate-ment is thus seen to resolve itself into the problem of the production of perfect combustion.

Advantages of efficient smoke abatement. The first advantage to be gained by the solution of this problem is an important saving in fuel. It has been calculated that at least twice as much coal is used in boiler fires and six times as much in domestic fires as is theoretically required for the production of the effects obtained. A considerable portion of this loss is due to causes other than those that can be treated of here, and some is cer-tainly unavoidable; but there is no doubt that much of this enormous waste could be prevented by improved methods of combustion, such as would solve the smoke problem. The second advantage to be looked for is a great gain in cleanliness and public convenience. Not only would there be an end to sooty chimneys but the atmo-sphere of towns would no longer be polluted as it is now by the discharge of unburnt carbon, whose total quantity is enormous, though the amount contained in any given puff of smoke is very small. The "London fog" " would be a thing of the past,—not because fogs would become any less frequent than now in London and other large cities, but because they would lose their distinctive char-acter of grimy opacity. It is often stated that these fogs are caused by the smoke that blackens them; but this is an error. The combustion of coal is certainly responsible for their existence, but it is the sulphur of the coal (oxidized ultimately to sulphuric acid), and not the carbon, that is the active agent. And so long as coal is burnt at all this manufacture of sulphuric acid and of fogs must continue; it is not to be got rid of by improved methods of combustion, though the character of the fogs may be materially altered for the better. The evil effects of town air on plant life and human lungs, also often attributed to preventible smoke, are in like manner due to this non--preventible sulphuric acid. The great gain in cleanliness, however, that would follow the abolition of smoke cannot be overrated.

Methods of smoke abatement. The methods that have been suggested for the abolition of smoke may be divided into two great classes, viz., those that seek to attain this end by improving the appliances for the burning of bituminous coal, and those that propose to abolish its use and substitute for it some other kind of fuel. The proposals of the first class may be divided into those applicable to domestic purposes and those applicable to boiler fires and other large-scale operations. Those of the second class may be divided according to the nature of the fuel which they suggest. The innumerable inventions of the first class depend for their success (so far as they are successful) on the attention bestowed on the scientific requisites for complete combustion, viz., a sufficient but not too great supply of air, the thorough admixture of this air with the products of the destructive distillation of the coal, and the maintenance of a high temperature within the fire. In our old and crude methods the facts which most militate against the attainment of these desiderata are—(l) that large masses of fresh fuel are continually being thrown on at the top, which cool down the fire just at that point where highest temperature is required; (2) that the products of the distillation of this fresh fuel, heated from below, do not get properly mixed with air till they have been drawn up the chimney; (3) that unduly large volumes of cold air are continually being sucked up through the fire, cooling it and carrying its heat away from where it is wanted, and yet without remedying the second evil. In the improved methods regularity of supply of both fuel and air is sought so as to maintain a steady evolution of distillation products, a steady temperature, and a steady and complete combustion. In many cases it is sought to warm fresh air before it enters the room by a regenerative system, the heat being taken from the escaping gases which would otherwise carry it up the chimney; and in some cases the air which feeds the fire is heated in the same way.

Domestic stoves and grates. -- tests. We cannot here discuss the merits of individual inventions; but we may summarize the chief results of the tests applied at the South Kensington Exhibition. These tests, for domestic grates and stoves, included a chemical ex-amination of the chimney gases, observations of the "smoke-shade" as indicating the proportion of unburnt carbon, and a record of the amount of coal burnt, of the rise of temperature produced, of the radiation, and of the amount of heat lost by being carried away through the chimney. Domestic grates and stoves were divided into six classes as follows:—(1) open grates having ordinary bottom grids and upward draught; (2) open grates having solid floors (adapted for "slow combustion") and upward draught; (3) open grates fed from below,—supplied with fresh fuel beneath the incandescent fuel; (4) open grates fed from the back or from the sides or from hoppers; (5) open grates having downward or backward or lateral draught; (6) close stoves. Each of these classes was sub-divided according as the apparatus was "air-heating" or "non-air-heating," i.e., according as an attempt was or was not made to save heat on the regenerative principle. This attempt does not appear to have been distinctly successful in any class except the fifth; indeed the evidence of the tests as a whole is rather against the air-heating principle. The following table gives the average results of tests for each class and sub-class as regards general rise of tempera-ture and radiation per pound of coal and smoke-shade. The figures under the last head refer to a standard of shades ranging from 0 (smoke imperceptible) to 10 (black and dense). It was found in practice that the results of this smoke-shade test were in general accord with those of the chemical examination of the chimney gases. The letters "a" and "n" in the first column signify air-heating and non-air-heating respectively, the average results for the whole class being given before those for each sub-class. All the experiments were made with Wallsend coal, a fair representative of the bituminous coals.

From this table the following facts, among others, may be deduced:—(a) the air-heating principle has not been applied with success except in class 5 ; (b) close stoves (class 6) are superior to open grates (total average of classes 1-5) in respect of freedom from smoke and of general heating effect, but they are greatly inferior in radiating power,—a deficiency which partly explains their unpopularity in the United Kingdom ; (c) the "slow-com-bustion" principle gives a high radiation factor, but is otherwise not successful; (d) the class of air-heating grates with downward, backward, or lateral draughts is, on the whole, most efficient.

Boiler fires. Much attention has been devoted for many years to the question of how to work boiler fires, both for locomotives and for fixed appliances, with the least possible production of smoke and the greatest possible evaporative power. Here the desiderata are essentially the same as in the case of domestic fires, viz., adequate admixture of the com-bustible vapours given off by the coal with the necessary air and the maintenance of a high temperature; and the principles involved are consequently also the same, though the appliances are necessarily different. These improve-ments may be all classed under one or other of two heads, according as the mode of supplying the fuel or the mode of supplying the air is the subject of the improvement. These two kinds of improvement may of course be com-bined. The article FURNACE may be consulted; see also STEAM-ENGINE, sect. "Boilers."

Mechanical stokers. In the old forms of furnace fresh fuel, as it is wanted, is supplied by hand labour, the furnace doors being opened ca and large quantities of coal thrown in. One result of this is the inrush of great volumes of cold air, which, aided by the equally cold fuel, lowers the general temperature of the furnace. Mechanical stokers meet this difficulty by supplying the coal regularly in small quantities at a time. They may be divided into those which deliver the coal at the front and gradually push it backward, those which scatter it generally over the surface of the grate, and those which raise it from below so that the products of its dis-tillation pass through the already incandescent fuel. The mechanism by which these results are attained is often of a complex nature.

Air-supply. It is generally recognized that air cannot be efficiently supplied to the furnace if admitted only in front, and accordingly there have been many plans devised for supply-ing it also at the back. In some cases currents of air are induced by steam-jets; but this plan has not proved very successful. The best inventions are on the regenerative principle. In them the air, before entering the furnace, is made to circulate through chambers heated externally by the products of combustion, and, having thus acquired a high temperature and absorbed heat that would, other-wise have been lost, is admitted through openings at the bridge. Many of these appliances are almost absolutely smokeless, and they are much in use.

Substitutes for bituminous coal. Anthracite. The advocates of the total or partial disuse of smoke--producing coals are variously in favour of the following substitutes-anthracite, coke, liquid fuel, and gas.

For some purposes anthracite and other coals containing a high percentage of carbon may be, and have long been, advantageously used as fuel. They yield a much smaller percentage of distillation products than ordinary coals, and produce no smoke, or almost none. But they are difficult to ignite, and in small fires difficult to keep burning; they give very little flame, and are comparatively expensive, so that they are under considerable disadvantage as compared with the usual kinds of coal. Many of the grates and stoves exhibited at South Kensington were specially devised for burning anthracite, and some of them are decidedly successful; but it is not likely that anthracite will ever take the place of bituminous coal to any great extent in the British Isles. There the great coal-fields undoubtedly are the natural sources of fuel, and no pro-posal involving a complete neglect of this fact can ever be successfully carried out.

Coke. This remark, however, does not apply to the use of coke and of gas, which are themselves made from coal. Coke is produced in large quantities both for its own sake and as a bye-product in the manufacture of gas for lighting purposes, and is largely used in various kinds of furnace. It gives no smoke; but it resembles anthracite also in being but ill adapted to use in open grates on account of the difficulty of ignition and the absence of flame (see FUEL).

Liquid fuel. In America, where natural petroleum is obtained in such enormous quantities, the experiment has been made of using it as the source of heat for boilers. A jet of superheated steam (at about 600° Fahr.) is blown into the hot combustion chamber and the oil and air enter mixed with it. The results are said to be excellent,—the fire smokeless and the efficiency high. The residue from coal-tar, after the naphtha and light oils have been recovered from it, can also be advantageously used in this way. The chief disadvantage attending the use of liquid fuels such as petroleum seems to lie in the fact that they are some-what dangerous, fatal accidents having occurred in America; and the range of their application is necessarily limited. To use them for the heating of houses is of course quite out of the question.

Gaseous fuel. Of all the schemes and inventions for the abatement of smoke that one which proposes to distil coal in one opera-tion, and to burn the products of the distillation in another and quite separate operation, is without doubt the most thoroughly scientific; and to it, rather than to patent grates and furnaces, we must look for the ultimate solution of the question. Many arguments may be adduced in favour of gas-heating as opposed to coal-heating, the most important of which are here briefly given. (1) Coal gives, on distillation, not only gas and coke, which are both good heating agents, but intermediate products, many of which are of commercial value; these include ammonia, benzine, carbolic acid, anthracine, &c. As science advances the value of coal-tar will probably be enhanced by further dis-coveries; already it gives the raw material for the preparation of numberless beautiful dyes, of antiseptics, and of some drugs, and quite lately a substance described as an admirable substitute for sugar has been prepared from it. All these intermediate products are now, according to our barbarous methods of burning coal, used simply as fuel. (2) Gas can be laid on in pipes to any spot, can be lit or turned out at any moment, and can be so managed that less heat is frittered away and more applied to the specific object than in the case of coal-burning. (3) It produces no smoke and leaves no ash or cinder, so that cleanliness is attained and much labour and expense are saved. (4) The coke produced during the preparation of the gas has uses of its own as solid fuel and for other purposes. (5) As has been already said, sulphur is an ingredient of all coals, and sulphuric acid is one of the necessary results of burning them, not to be got rid of by "smoke abatement." Coal gas, however, can to a great extent be freed from sulphur compounds, and it is possible that the purification methods in vogue may hereafter be improved, so that we have here a means, if any exist, of curing the chief evils of our present system,—injury to our respiratory organs, production of fogs, and destruction of vegetation in towns. The principal disadvantage of the proposal is to be found in the high cost of coal gas, which now varies generally from 3s. to 4s. per 1000 cubic feet, whereas it has been calculated that it would have to cost not more than 1s. or at most 1s. 6d. to compete success-fully with coal. There is no doubt, however, that the cost might, and it probably will, be brought down to this, as the high rate is due to causes not inherent in the nature of things. Sir William Siemens proposed that two sets of mains should be laid in English towns, one for heating and one for lighting gas, and showed that the first and last portions of every preparation of gas are possessed of very low illuminating power, but if collected apart would do excellently for heating purposes, while the rest would be improved for lighting. It is probable, however, that electricity will ultimately drive gas out of the field as an illuminating agent and that it will then be relegated to its true place as a heating agent. When that is done coal will no longer be burnt as a whole, but only those of its products (gas and coke) which are good for heating and for nothing else.

Meanwhile, ordinary coal gas has already, expensive as it now is, been largely applied to certain purposes, notably to cooking stoves and other domestic requirements, to gas--engines (in which the generation of steam is unnecessary), and to bakers’ ovens; and these inventions are calculated materially to diminish the smoke nuisance. In order to obtain an economical gas capable of being generated on the spot and used for operations on a large scale, Sir W. Siemens devised a gas-producer in which coal is partially burnt in a limited atmosphere and is wholly converted into gaseous products (chiefly carbonic oxide), only the ash being left. This "producer-gas" is a weak fuel, being largely diluted with atmospheric nitrogen, and is therefore in-applicable to domestic purposes ; but for many others it suits admirably, one of the best examples of its application being Siemens’s own regenerative gas furnace for melting steel (see SIEMENS). Other gas-producers have been patented, and the cost of the gas so made is as low as 4d. per 1000 cubic feet, or even less. It is probably, however, but a temporary substitute for true coal gas. In the use of this latter we shall, without doubt, find the true scientific solution of the smoke-abatement problem. As an example of what gaseous fuel can do, it may be mentioned that in Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania the furnaces are now being fed by natural oil gas and that that city, once one of the dirtiest of manufacturing towns, is be-coming one of the cleanest.

Hatcher Garden & Woodland Preserve
Hatcher Garden & Woodland Preserve is a natural oasis amid the bustle of downtown Spartanburg. It is a small but beautiful park, with both paved and unpaved trails, water features, and informative plaques about the various plants and wildlife. It is a great spot for a family picnic, with lots of picnic tables scattered throughout the grounds, and benches for resting and observing nature.

Hatcher Garden is open year-round and admission is free, although donations are accepted and very appreciated. Photography is encouraged, but pets are not permitted in the garden. The park is also available for weddings, and has several spots that make gorgeous wedding venues. Group tours are also available, with knowledgeable volunteer guides to help along the way. With its peaceful atmosphere, winding trails, and beautiful wildlife, a visit to Spartanburg is not complete without a stroll through Hatcher Gardens.

Edwin M. Griffin Nature Preserve
The Edwin M. Griffin Nature Preserve is a nice, quiet getaway with trails throughout a wetland area. There is a large creek and a butterfly garden, and it is a great park for spotting wildlife like herons and beavers. The park is pet-friendly and is good for walking and running. The Nature Preserve is also popular with photographers and bird-watchers. Although close to city center, the park is a very peaceful oasis full of natural beauty.

Croft State Park
Croft State Park is a beautiful state park located in Spartanburg, SC. It is a great park for hiking, biking, fishing and picnics. There are more than 45 miles of trails in the park, 20 of which are for mountain biking. Croft is also home to Lake Tom Craig, one of the best fishing spots in the Upstate, and Fairforest Creek, one of the park’s most scenic attractions. There are picnic shelters that can be reserved for large gatherings, and there is a great campground equipped with water, electricity and restrooms.

Croft State Park is a great place to spend a peaceful day alone or with friends or family. I have visited many times in 2017, and taken advantage of the many hiking and biking trails. The only negative experience I have ever had there was when a branch fell on my car in the parking lot, cracking the windshield. Luckily, there is a great auto glass repair Spartanburg SC service that was able to meet me at the park and fix my windshield. I really didn’t mind spending a little more time in the scenic and peaceful park while I waited for the repair. Any time spent at Croft State Park is time well spent!

Glendale Shoals Preserve
Glendale Shoals is a scenic spot for picnics and walking. The area was once home to a mill, and several of its old buildings are still standing, including a tower. A walking bridge stretches over the river and overlooks the cascading dam below. There is a lovely walking path by the river that takes you along the bridge and old mill buildings. The river is a popular fishing spot for locals, and there are picnic tables and benches throughout the park.

The Preserve also has gardens and a small amphitheater for entertaining. It has so many interesting sights to explore and photograph, and is a peaceful place to have a picnic with family and friends. Glendale Shoals Preserve is truly a hidden gem of Spartanburg.

Barnet Park
Barnet Park Barnet Park is a spacious park in Spartanburg that is known for its local events and festivals. There is a pavilion for live performances and a stage for screening movies. It is a popular destination for families with children, with a fountain for kids to play in, as well as a playground. There are also picnic tables, walking paths, and clean public restrooms. Admission is free and there is plenty of parking.

One of the most popular events at Barnet Park is the annual 4th of July festival, with food, fireworks, and entertainment. The park also sometimes has art fairs and international fairs. Even when there is not a special event, the park is a nice place to bring the family and enjoy the outdoors.

Doug and Justin have a conversation about the upcoming movie Alien: Covenant and try to make sense of the franchise timeline. Justin tries to figure out why Doug doesn’t like musicals before the heroes address people who try to make an apples to apples comparison between La La Land and musicals from the past. The two dorks take a quick detour to dissect the “c” word and Doug argues whether Legenda of Zelda is better than Skyrim. Things are finally wrapped up with a throw-down featuring Ripley vs. Sarah Connor.

Justin recommends the Kalamata Olive Hummus from Trader Joe’s while Doug recommends the new video game For Honor. You can play as a knight, a viking, or a samurai and fight other people. It’s challenging and fun.

The start of a new year! As of February 15, Isbjorn is anchored in Antigua, getting ready for the Caribbean 600 Ocean Race. Next, we're headed south to Dominica & the Grenadines, then offshore for BVI & back to Dominica! In May, Isbjorn will start her first Atlantic crossing under our stewardship, sailing north to Bermuda, then east to the Azores, and north again to Scotland! We'll finish the season with a North Sea crossing to Sweden, a 600-mile jaunt to Stockholm, and one last passage in the Baltic. Isbjorn will spend the winter in Stockholm preparing for the Arctic in 2018! We've created photo galleries from each of our passages this year - check them out below!

2016 saw Isbjorn sail over 8,000 miles. She completed a few Caribbean passages, competed in the Caribbean 600 Ocean Race in Antigua, sailed 1,000 miles downwind from the BVI-Key West (via Havana!), returned to Annapolis for a minor refit and then headed north to Nova Scotia & Newfoundland! We returned south to Annapolis in August and started preparing for the passage south with the Caribbean 1500 Rally in November, which wrapped up our year for 2016.

Mia & Andy got their first taste of ocean sailing on Isbjorn on the delivery south from Connecticut. Our first passages with crew was in July, when we sailed from Annapolis-Lunenburg, Nova Scotia & back again. Later that fall, Paul Exner & Andy's Dad, Dennis Schell, sailed Isbjorn south in the Caribbean 1500 rally! Andy & Mia finished out the year cruising the US & Spanish Virgin Islands.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

by | Jul 19, 2013

The greatest 80’s movie that was never made

Have you ever wondered what it might look like inside the mind of a 16 year old boy? If in your mind you conjured something that includes the likes of gratuitous violence, foul language, big guns, robots, sex, dragons that shoot lasers out of their heads and throwbacks to great movies then Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon may be the closest thing anyone’s come to that idea. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is one of the most enjoyable and outrageous gaming experiences I’ve had in a very long time. It takes all the greatest parts of your favorite 80’s action movies and melds them into an over-the-top story with the solid gameplay of Far Cry 3.

You play as Sergeant Rex Power Colt, half man, half machine, 110% American badass, on a mission to stop your former commanding officer from world domination in the post apocalyptic year of 2007. Colt, a once legendary soldier, becomes a Mark IV cyber-commando after being mortally wounded. Now, a state of the art soldier, imbued with enhanced abilities used for defending America and exacting vengeance, (and looking suspiciously like Kano from street fighter) Colt is on a mission to defend the only lady in his life, Lady Liberty. As staple to action movies in the 80’s, Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese in The Terminator, Corporal Hicks in Aliens) lends his acting chops to Colt in this adventure to do what he does best, no not die before the story ends, but kick some ass. Blood Dragon also contains an intense synthesizer based soundtrack, an epic training montage, guns that shoot lasers, tons of one liners, laughably bad puns, vulgar language and a girl that resembled Brigitte Nielsen. The only thing missing by my count would be a Carl Weathers appearance.

Far Cry 3 was a great game, with solid first person gameplay, and Blood Dragon uses all these mechanics to its advantage.  The game is a solid first person shooter with 8 different weapons to choose from, with each having their applicable time and place. Weapons range from the A.J.M. 9, a Robocop pistol replica, to the Galleria 1991, a throwback to the shotgun Schwarzenegger used in Terminator 2. With other gun names like the Fazertron and Cobracon, you can understand that this game is truly paying homage to the absurdity of the writing in 80’s movies.  In between the story based missions are 16 bit cut scenes, looking like they were ripped straight out of a Sega Genesis game.  The side quests in this game are where some of the best 80’s references can be seen, anywhere from heading into a sewer to remove four pizza eating turtles, to collecting VHS tapes.

Along with Biehn voicing Colt, the real star of the show is the soundtrack.  The 100% synthesizer soundtrack created by Power Glove sets the stage perfectly for this 80’s VHS era game.  As your playing, the music played when you’re in danger sounds eerily familiar to the chase music from The Terminator.  The sound effects are prefect for the respective guns and characters and give the game a completed feel as if you’re watching your favorite B grade action movies.  The voice acting is also fantastic. Biehn offers up some of the best in game banter with his internal computer, and gives some of the best one-liners you’ve heard since the DVD era.

When I first played Far Cry 3 on the PC I was blown away by the visuals; however when I downloaded Blood Dragon for the PS3, the textures were noticeably scaled down. This of course did not take away from the overall experience I had with the game, but some of the explosions and kills didn’t hold the same resonance as with the crisp PC images in Far Cry 3. Another minor issue I had with this game was the price for what you get.  In my opinion, $15  or 1200 Microsoft Points it is a fairly steep price for 6-7 hours of game play, including all collectibles and side quests.  That being said, it is only a mod of a much larger and more robust game, so go play Far Cry 3 as well.

Overall, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is a fantastic game to get your hands on.  The price point is a little high for what you get, but once you become immersed in the game, it’s one hell of a ride. The voice acting will have you laughing out loud at points and the sound creates a genuine 1980’s movie feel.  If you don’t go through the last mission of the game with a gigantic smile on your face, you’ve missed the entire point of this game, and clearly you need not be so serious. This game is a lot like a good popcorn movie, just leave reality at the door and just enjoy the ride.

Tankless Water Heater Installation in Kaufman, TX

A-Solution Plumbing is ready to address your Kaufman Tankless Water Heater Plumbing needs

Many people are switching to tankless water heaters, a smaller system that is much more energy efficient. Though the tankless system is more expensive to purchase and install, they can save you money in the long run. Since this system only heats the water you use right now, they are sometimes called on demand water heaters. A downside, especially for larger families, is that the tankless system can only heat so much water at a time. If you buy a low flow system you might not be able to run the washing machine and bathtub with hot water at the same time. If you have a larger family you would either want to buy a heavier flow (More GPM’s) unit, or buy multiple units and pipe them in a parallel installation. Tankless water heaters tend to last about twice as many years as conventional tank type water heaters with proper installation and maintenance.

Tankless water heaters use more gas when they fire because they heat the water so fast. Therefore, some cities may require a Gas Load Calculation Chart before installation.

A4 Mobility

10 years of experience and innovation in the field of ITS
Customer-oriented, integrated solutions

A4 Mobility is a global player with ten years’ experience in designing, developing and managing services and solutions in the field of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems).

A4 Mobility has specific skills in the field of technological, application and maintenance products and services, dedicated to the mobility and transport industries.

It is therefore a leading player in the ITS industry, covering many of the different market segments. It mainly has a “system integrator” approach, from toll systems to traffic management, from security to access control.

A4 Holding Group has implemented a governance system and set of rules that allow it to operate in accordance with the core values of sustainability: ethics, transparency, safety, social development, environmental protection, open dialogue with stakeholders, commitment to the local area and local economies.

To consolidate this commitment to transparency, integrity and honesty, we introduced the Whistleblowing Channel. This secure and bidirectional channel allows anyone with interrelations with Group companies to report, in a confidential manner, any conduct that does not comply with the provisions of the Group Code of Ethics and the Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 adopted by each company and by company procedures and regulations in general.

The Code of Ethics identifies the core set of values that underpin corporate culture and translate into the principles and management policies used to implement best practices, guiding our daily conduct in all aspects of the business.

The aim of our Code of Ethics is to guide the Group’s management activities on the basis of ethical values and operating principles, in order to promote clear behavioural guidelines. The purpose of this is to meet the needs of all stakeholders and to consolidate the company’s positive reputation.

Italian Legislative Decree 8 June 2001, no. 231 introduced the liability of collective bodies with or without legal personality, for crimes committed to their advantage or in their interest by persons "functionally" related to the institutions themselves (by way of example, directors, directors, executives and subjects subject to management or supervision of these, such as other employees and some collaborators). The administrative responsibility of the institution can be excluded, if certain conditions are met, if the institution has:

  • Adopted and effectively implemented its own Organization, Management and Control Model;
  • Established its own Supervisory Body, with autonomous powers of initiative and control, with the task of supervising the functioning and compliance and of updating the aforementioned Model.

A4 Mobility adopted the organisation, management and control model in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, with the aim of creating a structured and methodical system of procedures and preventive control activities in order to prevent the crimes listed by the aforementioned decree. This is achieved by identifying any activities exposed to the risk of crime and subsequently introducing appropriate procedures to regulate them, and appointing their own Supervisory Body.

In accordance with Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, the organisation, management and control model has also been adopted by controlled companies of strategic importance.

The Whistleblowing channel is created with the aim of promoting compliance with the Code of Ethics of the Group and the regulations applicable to it. Any non-compliance can be reported via the Whistleblowing channel of our Group. This is a secure and bidirectional channel that promotes collaboration between the Ethics Committee and anyone - employees and collaborators, suppliers and any other person who has had or intends to have business relations with the Company - who wants to make reports or requests in order to protect the company's ethical culture.

Unlawful conducts, irregularities, violations of regulations, violations of the Model 231, violations of the Code of Ethics, or violations of company procedures and regulations may be reported via the platform.

Only members of the A4 Holding Ethics Committee have exclusive access to the Ethics Channel. This guarantees integrity in the management of the report or request, ensuring that it can be traced securely from the time it is sent to the conclusion. The anonymity of any person who sends a report or digital request is protected. The Ethics Committee will manage the reports or requests. Its members are subject to the principles of integrity, autonomy, confidentiality, objectivity, fairness, hearing and non-retaliation.

By clicking on "ENTER YOUR REPORT HERE" you can access to the Whistleblowing channel that allows anyone to make the report or request through an online guided tour.

Welcome message from the Local Compliance Officer of the A4 Holding Group.

"The Whistleblowing channel is a further example of the firmness of our ethical culture and of "compliance" that underlies the behavior
of all the members of the Group. This channel allows us to report any conduct contrary to our Code of Ethics, to the legislation applicable to us
or our internal regulations, as well as to ask questions about any doubt regarding "compliance" guaranteeing absolute security and confidentiality in the
processing of information. The collaboration of all of us is essential in the objective of pursuing constant development based on the key principles of honesty,
integrity and reliability, principles that represent the foundations of the Group's values and form the basis of our Code of Ethics and of business conduct.

A4 Holding supports all the people who make good use of this channel.

Thank you for your contribution to the success of our reputation.”

Exclusive Patents on the BRCA Genes: Adding Burden to an Already Overburdened Cancer Community

By Sue Friedman, Executive Director, Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE)

As part of the ACLU's Taking Back Our Genes campaign , guest blogger Sue Friedman, the Executive Director of FORCE, describes the adverse impact the exclusive patents on BRCA1 and BRCA2 have on the cancer community.

It is our position that the awarding of exclusive patents for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes to Myriad Genetics has adversely affected access to care and research specific to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, adding additional burden to our already overburdened hereditary cancer community. For that reason, we support the litigation challenging the BRCA gene patents and filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court with other patient advocacy groups.

In our 13 years of advocating for and serving the hereditary cancer community, we have seen firsthand the adverse effects of exclusive gene patenting.

Exclusive licensing of BRCA testing stifles research, including:
Research on PARP inhibitors, targeted therapy for BRCA-associated cancer: We believe that the BRCA gene patent has had a profound impact by delaying and slowing the development of targeted cancer therapies for people with BRCA mutations. PARP inhibitors are a class of drugs that were developed based on scientists' knowledge of how hereditary cancers develop in people with BRCA mutations. The drugs showed activity and early studies were promising in several types of hereditary cancers including breast, ovarian, and prostate. PARP inhibitor research has been ongoing since 2005, and today, seven years later, the drugs have yet to gain FDA approval. After meeting with the FDA, we were told that for targeted therapies that benefit a distinct population (such as people with a BRCA mutation) to receive FDA approval, they require that any companion laboratory test identifying a target population must be FDA approved as well. BRACAnalysis — Myriad's test for BRCA mutations is not FDA-approved. Myriad is a CLIA-approved laboratory; they were never required to receive FDA approval in order to market their test, and it doesn't appear that they have plans to seek FDA approval. Because Myriad holds the patent on the gene, no other lab can develop an FDA-approved test to identify BRCA mutation carriers.

Research that helps determine which BRCA genetic changes are deleterious and which are not: BIC (Breast Information Core) is a large international consortium organized by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), which is part of the National Institutes of Health. BIC's goal is to provide critical research to determine gene changes that may be cancer-causing versus those which aren't. Around 2004, Myriad stopped contributing data to the BIC database. About 7 percent of BRCA tests return with an inconclusive result and data from BIC is used to help better classify these variants to determine if they are cancer-causing. According to a 2010 article in the Genomics Law Report, Myriad quietly stopped contributing data to BIC in favor of building its own database to retain a competitive advantage over other gene testing companies once their patent runs out.

Exclusive licensing negatively impacts BRCA test interpretation: Myriad's decision to no longer contribute to the BIC database has impeded the interpretation of a type of inconclusive test result known as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS). Once the patent does expire, the fact that Myriad no longer contributes mutation information to the BIC consortium will limit other laboratories' ability to interpret certain test results. A 2011 article from the New York Times suggested that withholding this data may provide a competitive benefit to Myriad over other laboratories after their patent expires. But it comes at the cost of critical information that could help provide information to families that have inconclusive genetic test results right now.

The excessive cost of testing limits access and negatively affects clinical care: There is now evidence-based information demonstrating that identifying those who have the highest risk for breast and ovarian cancer can lower breast, ovarian, and all-cause mortality through genetic testing and surgical prevention. The cost of prevention, both in dollars and human lives, is less than the cost of treating cancer once it is diagnosed. Yet, people are being denied access to critical health information due to the excessive cost of BRCA testing. Financial assistance for BRCA testing is limited, especially for people who have any type of health insurance. With patent exclusivity and a monopoly on the test, Myriad has increased the cost of their test even as the cost of genetic technology and gene sequencing has gone down. The full-sequencing BRCA testing costs about $3,500, making it cost-prohibitive for many people. Further, Myriad charges an additional $750 for expanded testing known as BART to look for mutations known as large rearrangements in some people who test negative with full BRCA sequencing.

Thank you, Sue Friedman & FORCE! I am appalled that Myriad sought (and that the government granted) a patent on BRCA, the gene code that has cost me and my family so much already. I am thankful for what FORCE and the ACLU is doing to bring this action to the public's attention! When I had my labwork sent to Myriad years ago, I had no idea that my genetic material was going to be used in any way to profit any particular company, and I am strongly opposed to this. I do not believe that Myriad (nor any other company) should be able to hold a monopoly on research or treatment options for those of us whose lives are so compromised by this genetic mutation. I urge our nation's lawmakers to put a stop to this! and I take back my genes!

Tobacco Display Ban FAQs

The following Assured Advice is issued to the Association of Convenience Stores Ltd by Surrey County Council and comes into effect from 26th May 2015.

The Tobacco Display Ban came into effect on 6th April 2012 for large stores, and 6th April 2015 for smaller stores. These regulations mean that it is now illegal to display tobacco products in store. A guide to the full regulations can be viewed here.

Below is a list of frequently asked questions and their answers.

Please note: Scotland’s regulations are different from England and Wales. The Scottish regulations can be viewed here.

Q: “Can I display signs which say ‘Tobacco sold here’ on the outside of my gantry/in store?”

A: Yes – Unbranded generic signs, such as ‘Tobacco sold here’, are permitted in any format. There is not a limit on the font size, size of the sign and there is no stipulation on the positioning of this notice.
It is still a legal requirement for retailers to display an A3 sign stating that it is illegal to make tobacco sales to people under the age of 18. These signs must continue to be displayed near to the point of sale of the tobacco products.

Q: “Can I use a different font from Helvetica for my price labels, lists and catalogues?”

 A: Yes – you must use black Helvetica or Arial plain type on a white background.
You may have:

  • One A3 poster entitled ‘tobacco products price list’ with the display of prices for tobacco products limited to the brand name and price with wording no larger than size 30 font.
  • A product catalogue, which is not displayed unless requested by someone over the age of 18, that has wording no larger than size 14 font and any pictures of products no larger than 50square cm (about the size of a standard cigarette packet).
  • Price labels on shelving, with one label per product, no larger than 9 square cm.

Q: “Does the tobacco display ban apply to the sale of tobacco products online?”

 A: No – the law on display does not apply to websites. Businesses will still be able to show tobacco products and their prices on their online shopping websites.

Q: “Does this law apply to wholesalers, such as cash and carry businesses?”

 A: If the cash and carry premises is open to people outside the tobacco trade (i.e. the public), then the new law on displaying tobacco products applies. A cash and carry business may meet the definition of a ‘bulk’ tobacconist and be able to display products in a separate tobacco area or room.

Q: “What if a customer asks to see the full range of tobacco products before they buy them?”

 A: It is not an offence to show a tobacco product to a person aged 18 or over who asks to buy a tobacco product, or who has asked for information about a tobacco product. This display is described in the legislation as a ‘requested display’. It is not an offence if other people in the shop (including children) see a tobacco product as a result of a ‘requested display’.

Q: “Are overhead tobacco gantries compliant with the tobacco display ban?”

 A: Yes – however, overhead gantries must not allow customers to see behind the till and have a view of the tobacco products.

Q: “Do I cover up smoking accessories, such as tobacco papers and lighters, as part of the tobacco display ban?”

A: Tobacco accessories, such as rolling papers, lighters, pipes, etc, can continue to be displayed and kept in public view. Retailers may need to consider new an arrangement if accessories are currently kept in the main gantry, as it is an offence to display tobacco products when retrieving a non-tobacco product for a customer.

Q: “My tobacco gantry has a shutter, but when opened, the display area is larger than 1.5m2. If I only store tobacco products within 1.5m2 of the gantry, and leave the rest empty, am I still compliant?”

A: The regulations specify that no offence is committed as long as the display of tobacco products in a storage unit does not exceed 1.5m2.

Q: “Can I use handheld tablets to display my tobacco price lists instead of printing them out?”

A: No this would not comply with Regulations. This is because there would not be any control over the size of the font and size of the list (as you can expand the size on a tablet), the tablet would place a border around the price list which is also not permitted.  It could also be argued that the tablet may include prices of other products

The above Assured Advice is issued to the Association of Convenience Stores Ltd (ACS) by Surrey County Council and comes into effect from 26th May 2015.  Retailers with any questions should contact ACS in the first instance on 01252 515001 or

Facial Recognition Toll Booths Identify Drivers and Passengers, Notify Police Within Seconds

By MassPrivateI

The state of New York is using facial recognition cameras to identify drivers and passengers at toll booths.

A recent article in the New York Post revealed that toll booths use facial recognition to identify everyone.

“We are now moving to facial-recognition technology, which takes it to a whole new level, where it can see the face of the person in the car and run that technology against databases,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.  (Click here & here to learn more.)

Police are also testing facial recognition cameras that can identify people based on the shape of their ears!

“Because many times a person will turn their head when they see a security camera, so they are now experimenting with technology that just identifies a person by their ear, believe it or not,” Cuomo said.

NYC’s spying bridges

image credit: Vocativ

Last year Vocativ revealed that NYC is using toll booth gantries to create a ring of spying cameras.

The Authority is interested in implementing a Facial Detection System, in a free-flow highway environment, where vehicle movement is unimpeded at highway speeds as well as bumper-to-bumper traffic, and license plate images are taken and matched to occupants of the vehicles (via license plate number) with Facial Detection and Recognition methods from a gantry-based or road-side monitoring location.

Police facial recognition to identify drivers within seconds

According to the NY Post, toll booth gantries can identify vehicles within seconds.

License plates scanned at the toll plazas, at least, are already being checked for warrants, suspected felons, parole violators, terrorist suspects and  the intel is passed within five seconds on to cop cars stationed at the crossings.

How long before NYC uses facial recognition cameras to identify drivers and passengers within seconds?

Currently there are at least thirty-one states that allow police to use facial recognition to identify people from drivers licenses and state IDs.

Roughly one in every two American adults—117 million people—are in the facial recognition networks used by law enforcement, according to a 2016 report.

DHS and law enforcement have created an Orwellian nightmare in NYC.

Imagine a future where police install facial recognition cameras at two thousand bridges and tunnels throughout NYC.

Now imagine that happening in your city or town.

Facial recognition cameras and license plate readers are being used to create secret hotlists and watchlists that track our every movement.

It is time for Americans to stop letting DHS and law enforcement use 9/11 as an excuse to destroy everyone’s privacy.

  1. Most states now have laws against wearing masks in public. HOWEVER, there is nothing that says you can’t wear one while driving. If they ever passed one, I see the courts slapping down the legislatures and county commissioners so hard they won’t be able to stand up without getting dizzy.

  2. I don’t think this will end well …… :-/
