Of course you know that because he's you aren't I actually like cards but yeah. Armed and it and it's my name actually comes from I'm named after a tanker support. Yeah it is completely ironic try you know a car that killed people and don't know. Saint Christopher is very bad driver that's a little and are you back are you gonna are you religious. My eight dad's a Stanley lit the Catholic my mom I'm not. Particularly but I do let thinkers and I do believe and that there has been time they've been battling saved my butt. Are you what are what are you good and rivers. And I couldn't leave their. No I thought well but that the patron saint of travelers. Let's patrons say a bush ran as they need took little baby Jesus through my shoulders and crossing across the river through assay Grossman yeah. All of us yeah he was wearing a baby Bjorn literally come over the shoulder kind of harnessing the first and northern I don't really argues it's got a great topic got a little fellow exactly.

She died smiles yes usually I'm like let's let our let let him I think Christine US 150 yards to shore their man we're we're sinking on this on this canoe could you could you do it. I don't know I really don't pay I don't know. Now does that keep you from wanting to be on a bold because in the worst case and. Oh not I. I exact opposite like checked on my buddies at my. I mean my parents patty gave a boat they had a slightly education jump off that they all that. Parents had a boat and you can't swim. Yeah ad they started this year lag somewhat wet may and that kid would not want my feet. So I kind of became hot under normal at the about the kid left of my feet and then I just don't know my LaMont blogger Nikki came unemployment that in fact. Then I'm not gonna take a look who else. But look I will say this you know get the idea going promoted can swim by here's my bad people get on a plane I don't know anyone I can fly. An Emmy about it and about them playing goes down that no one wrote to me can help me. Not a single person I'm not playing good they're gonna die with me and they're gonna say new ball pull the ball and lets everyone hates you somebody might be able to do something. I'm just say okay he's I can tread water in the back and swam. I can tread water for men and screaming help against people get I'm playing Lleyton does anyone here and ought to fly me amend. We fall out of this thing can you open the door flap away from the sky news he can't get to the fallen out of a boat are much higher. Absolutely. I think your chance to the rescue or are much higher in my well again I'm terrified to be on the water park and swept. Are you get in the plane I know that it and apply I would have more fat you can't thread later but the look look into everybody else on the plane to fly and I couldn't that would be the problem you see like that's why be right. Everybody made a bad decision here exactly it's a bit of the boat captain says I can't swim I would feel weird about Bentley well. You have to happen I don't care about the gap and my only wish is that I can stay alive it's similar to cancel and they foam on water and they're gonna sink like a rock I mean I can swim but if you start sinking might. I don't know about you know fight for managed to get three good bobs from MC Hussein fought right it is nothing to do it backwards like well. Yeah. Invented the third time like that's the charmer you fall out of the sky and thought well no matter what he gallantly we can't help it better. Just with how we sometimes obviously tacky believe adults can't swim. Are par and I kind of amazing. But I understood and I would make it makes more since we get on a boat in not knowing I'm assuming giving employing an amount only had a flock I think if I didn't I didn't know how to swim at this age that would be something where I'm like you know I'm gonna do this year I'm gonna learn Osama excellent do you think you do don't you think we like learning a language like once you become an adult I don't you know a moon all the haven't heard any good at physical stuff most of the time unless there are not heard you can't care and lesser wheels involved yeah exactly because there's they've I've wheels underneath my feet I'm screwed.

We stood and a new country and the guerrillas and the monkeys to be on the right and cancels an infrared had infringed collected all. That your eyes out as a very young governor of arena during your toes a shot of the day is mostly coming up next the word has secret words the airlines don't want you to know or understand we're. And that's all coming up basically you are listening to the men's or radio network yeah. Yeah. So how close again shout out today is on the way and another round of profile is coming up but first. Optimum. And learned. Secret learns your airline. Crew does not want you to understand. Pilots in Canada grew heavy secret language the passengers are not meant to understand that there are some code words or Jirga probably wanna know. Pilots because they called is used by all airlines to avoid miscommunication at 30000 feet and many pastors have no idea what the sometimes bizarre words and phrases may. And believe or not this for good reason. I just tell me were always in danger goes for use by crew in order to maintain calm and order in the cabin where specially trained in emergency situation. And panic and cause us to lose control the situation enough an injury or death so. Especially true because they're quick aside I was one time in bad turbulence and a look at the quiet and tend to be about. Leave they should bring you some some level of comfort. And being in the guys in across and we look jobs small puddle jumper so when when single flight within the Saddam were facing us. Realize his eyes were closed and he was crossing himself during a silent prayer and all but Jesus Christ and I was called turbulence doesn't bug me too much more muscle that remark I think I'm going to prove myself sir if you tell the pills they use now you're in the airport in your coat that. Any idea code add up. Movies at home and we ran out of ribs no more apple. This is used by airport staff from the airport to alert people of a child that is missing in the airport. And this is an honor of Adam Walsh. A child who was abducted in a department store 1980 wants a code Adam means John Walsh whose kid deli there's been missing child. So there wouldn't want everyone an airport to help you look for McCain I make fun. If you hear a pilot's block 757500. What does that mean. Science dump 7535. And I know your plane's been hijacked. Oh I'll I'll anyone you've heard all the time right folks were just appeared get rid of material we've got some last minute paperwork. Yes they Carol even though the mobile early show. Last minute paperwork without any Duke's last and paperwork according to Patrick Smith is usually a revision of the flight plan. Somebody to do with the plane's weight and balance record okay are simply just waiting for the maintenance staff to get the flight log book and order do whatever they gotta do bulletproof glass okay board means anything that you need to do to get the plane ready to come off of I remember about okay. The term crop dusting. I walk through the cabin imported into performing well it is a method of retribution at the pastor is being very rude into the gulf and it's not unheard of for a flight attendant to breakaway and in crop does pass the offender all right man nice out there I met how to viewers across Jack cross check. How they always say cross check out I just got locked the doors he does if you hear this phrase usually made by senior cabin crew it means that the emergency slides. Attached to each door had been deactivated. Otherwise the slide will deploy automatically as soon as the doors open up. So that's a cross check means why it's so important I was never happened and Jack how about equipment he has no equipment as they say like just about equipped. No idea it's the plane engine so they're never gonna say some things are with a play. This plane and a freak people out so they used the term equipment on the flight deck what do we know the flight deck are different handset is hot air pockets. Big turbulence or islanders have a dead ahead. The front of the plane trouble. I did heading pilot or flight attendant is one repositioning as part of an on the duty assignments. This is not the same as commuting to work or engaging in personal travel. A dead as the person who works airlines is sitting next young black cop okay. Some phrases and terms in the airline and. You're gonna imaginary attack. Bloody out there deserves to be ready. Men's room knows just to. As usual we had good catering death can't seem to throw notified that nortel's yes indeed today we chose 44 year old Scott boulevard and his wife forty year old Laura Devard both of Staten Island New York. Now the couple labor therein Holman the basement just talking but the Scot he stop talking mid sentence stumbled over to account. And collapse the turned out he oh deed because he he'd been shooting heroin and just you know. Lori and her husband they've both used their own in the past he was back on it she was not so when DO DG app and have nor can analysis. The promise she was panting and ended up breaking three bottles of it and couldn't administered. But she did have the presence of mind to administer CPR. Until the ambulance Iraq. Not bad for Lori continued back with a panicked. And pretty that the police would arrest him or her for possession of heroin. She scooped up three bags of heroin and flush to down the toilet in an inner panic. Snorted one. So while the medics were in the living room trying to revive her own deep husband Lori well she stumbles out in now she has a deep Jesus so they both ode. Right there in the living room believe it or not the paramedics were able to revive both of them. Both of them made a complete recovery. The thing about her snorting moment heroin flushing the other two down. It should be noted it was nothing for her worry about because believes in New York State may have been I'm on one good samaritan law. So basically if you call mama want to reported overdose you would not get arrested for misdemeanor drug possession. She didn't know that no clear cut right associate of snort a hole by god she could flush adultery. See that's what I thought because the thing you should they go to jail sitting get arrested in the following week she's on the news talking about a month. To which snorted them to have leather. There for the food and drink this booze because we think it's yeah. May god national over the long and down the boy to Blarney in our tummies. Down our whole our guys know and I. I'd get a jacket death on live profile as we will take collar and I'm right now 844999. Ol' luck. They should many things continue on the men's round radio network.


Q:

How to insert a new Row in bottom of the UITableView Swift

I use
func insertRowsAtIndexPaths(indexPaths: [NSIndexPath],
withRowAnimation animation: UITableViewRowAnimation)

method to insert a new Row in a table. But it appears from Top of the    UITableView (by default).
I couldn't find any option to insert rows from the bottom of the table, like on screenshot:

I tried use the UIEdgeInsetsMake:
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(tableView.frame.height,0,0,0)

but it broke all design when I scroll the table.
My question is: how to insert a new rows from bottom of the table?
UPD: It should looks like table moves from a keyboard View to NavigationBar when new row is added.
UPD2: Here is what I want: http://recordit.co/JoR7xuvvpG
I did it with the help of
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(tableView.frame.height,0,0,0)

But contentInset adds a big white field above the rows and when I scroll down it hides added rows. Looks like they is hiding under the keyboardView. I want to prevent it.

A:

Swift 3
    TableView.beginUpdates()

    let indexPath:IndexPath = IndexPath(row:(self.yourArray.count - 1), section:0)

    TableView.insertRows(at: [indexPath], with: .left)

    TableView.endUpdates()

    TableView.scrollToRow(at: indexPath, at: .bottom, animated: true)

A:

func insertRowsAtIndexPaths(indexPaths: [NSIndexPath],
withRowAnimation animation: UITableViewRowAnimation)

It is the method for appending the rows. For inserting rows at bottom you need to give indexpath of the last row.
For Example:
var IndexPathOfLastRow = NSIndexPath(forRow: self.array.count - 1, inSection: 0)
self.tableView.insertRowsAtIndexPaths([IndexPathOfLastRow], withRowAnimation: UITableViewRowAnimation.Left)

Thanks @raf for the suggestion:
What you need to do then, is animate the whole UITableView in it's parent view up as you insert elements. If you're using autolayout, capture the Top constraint in a property, and change it's constant as you insert elements. Something like:
 topConstraint.constant = newValue
 UIView.animateWithDuration(0.5, animations: {
  self.layoutIfNeeded()
})


Minocycline in rheumatoid arthritis. A 48-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. MIRA Trial Group.
To assess the safety and efficacy of minocycline in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. A double-blind, randomized, multicenter, 48-week trial of oral minocycline (200 mg/d) or placebo. 6 clinical centers in the United States. 219 adults with active rheumatoid arthritis who had previous limited treatment with disease-modifying drugs. As the primary outcomes, 60 diarthrodial joints were examined for tenderness, and 58 joints were examined for swelling (hips excluded). Grip strength, evaluator's global assessment, morning stiffness, Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire, patient's global assessment, hematocrit, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, platelet count, and IgM rheumatoid factor levels were also assessed; radiographs of both hands and wrists were taken. 109 and 110 patients were randomly assigned to receive minocycline and placebo, respectively. At entry, demographic, clinical, and laboratory measurements were similar in both groups. Most patients had mild to moderate disease activity and some evidence of destructive disease. At the week 48 visit, 79% of the minocycline group and 78% of the placebo group continued to receive the study medication. At 48 weeks, more patients in the minocycline group than in the placebo group showed improvement in joint swelling (54% and 39%) and joint tenderness (56% and 41%) (P < 0.023 for both comparisons). The minocycline group also showed greater improvement in hematocrit, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, platelet count, and IgM rheumatoid factor levels (all P values < 0.001), and more patients receiving minocycline had laboratory values within normal ranges at 48 weeks. For the remaining outcomes, P values ranged from 0.04 to 0.76, all greater than the critical value of 0.005 (Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons). The frequency of reported side effects was similar in both groups, and no serious toxicity occurred. Minocycline was safe and effective for patients with mild to moderate rheumatoid arthritis. Its mechanisms of action remain to be determined.


The production of isobutylene polymers from mixed C.sub.4 hydrocarbon feedstreams is generally known in the art. Typically, the reaction uses strong Lewis acids, i.e., titanium tetrachloride, aluminum trichloride, boron trifluoride. The resulting polyisobutylene molecule has only one functional terminal double bond. It is often preferred to utilize AlCl.sub.3 as the polymerization catalyst in such processes and the prior art discloses a number of co-catalyst or catalyst promoters, including hydrogen chloride, for use under various conditions in isobutylene polymerization.
Representative disclosures include U.S. Pat. No. 2,957,930, which shows the use of 10 to 20% AlCl.sub.3 catalyst in the production of polyisobutylene from a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 petroleum gas feedstock with 0.08 to 0.12 percent HCl, relative to AlCl.sub.3, used as a catalyst promoter. This reference notes that correspondingly small quantities of water vapor or chloroform, which can react with AlCl.sub.3 to release HCl, may also be used. British Pat. No. 1,195,760 (1970) discloses the production of olefin polymers by polymerization in the presence of the catalyst comprising a liquid complex of AlCl.sub.3, HCl and an alkyl benzene. Polymerization products include materials other than polyisobutylene and products with a narrow molecular weight distribution are disclosed in this reference.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,200,169 and 3,200,170 deal with reaction mixture separation methods after polymerization of propylene or butylene feeds utilizing an ammonia treatment process. HCl is disclosed in the references as a suitable catalyst promoter added to the reaction zone which contains an AlCl.sub.3 catalyst.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,997,129 discloses polybutenes from a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 liquified refinery stream wherein the catalyst is solid particles of AlCl.sub.3 promoted with HCl gas or its equivalent. This process employs a static mixer for mixing catalysts and feed prior to conducting polymerization.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,985,822 relates to the production of poly-n-butenes by use of AlCl.sub.3 promoted with HCl but the objective is to reduce the isobutylene content of the polymer product.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,119,884 discloses a series of vertical column reactors useful for polymerizing isobutylene and further discloses a catalyst system comprising AlCl.sub.3 and HCl or a substance which generates HCl. The catalyst system is described as an acid promoted AlCl.sub.3 catalyst. In such a system, a reaction between HCl and AlCl.sub.3 occurs to form H.sup.+ AlCl.sub.4.sup.- which is the species that initiates polymerization. According to this process, one method of introducing catalysts and reactants is to have the three materials, i.e. AlCl.sub.3, HCl and liquid feed, enter the reactor through the same duct.
It is known also to prepare epoxidized olefins polymers by the reaction of a polymer derived from an olefin containing 2 to 12 carbon atoms and a peracid. U.S. Pat. No. 3,382,255 discloses the epoxidation of polybutene in heptane to which is added a 40% peracetic acid solution. The temperature is held between 25.degree.-30.degree. C. by external cooling. Suitable and typical peracids useful in the epoxidation include performic, peracetic, perbenzoic, perphthalic and others. Performic and peracetic acids are preferred.
A polymer of isobutylene prepared in presence of a typical catalyst such as aluminum chloride is normally monofunctional, having a double bond at one end of the polymer chain. The olefin structure is predominantly the trisubstituted type, approximately 70%, and tetrasubstituted type, approximately 20%. Small amounts of vinylidene and terminal vinyl are present, approximately 10%. The major component of polybutenes prepared in the presence of aluminum chloride can be represented as (CH.sub.3).sub.3 --C--[--CH.sub.2 --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --]--.sub.n CR.dbd.CHCH.sub.3. Some internal double bonds exist but these are not easily characterized. The olefin structure results in a compound which on epoxidation is relatively unreactive to many reagents.
Surprisingly, it has been found that epoxidized polybutenes comprising a trisubstituted epoxide structure, approximately 70%, and a tetrasubstituted epoxide structure, approximately 20%, and a 1,1-disubstituted or monosubstituted epoxide structure of approximately a content of about 10% can be reacted with a carboxylic acid to form compositions of polybutyl ketone and a hydroxyester in the presence of specific acid catalysts wherein the resulting composition has increased reactivity with isocyanates, carboxyl groups, hydroxyl and thiol compounds. These specific catalysts are selected from the group including perchloric acid, fluoboric acid, and other acids with non-nucleophilic anions. Such acids are not consumed through reaction with epoxides. Lewis acids such as BF.sub.3 etherate are also effective.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a process for preparing a composition of a polybutyl ketone and a hydroxyester terminated polybutene of a molecular weight of from about 200 to about 20,000.
It is another object of this invention to provide a composition of a polybutyl ketone and a hydroxyester terminated polybutene of a molecular weight of from 200 to 20,000 which can be used as a component of polyesters, polyurethanes, and other compounds useful for coatings, sealants, adhesives, and other applications.

and what's beyond it

I have converted from hateful comedianism

I used to be a Bill Maher fan. I liked the way he approached his topics and discussions. Without fear and with no attempts at being diplomatic. He never seemed scared or intimidated by anything.

His body language was always of someone at ease, no matter what he was dealing with. He once wowed me with his ability to get Ann Coulter to shut up. I don’t know if you are familiar with the woman, but it’s quite the accomplishment.

We can’t even agree on when to celebrate our two holidays. Yeah, just two. The Islamic calendar runs according to the lunar cycle, so classic discussions about when to hold the occasion of Eid have been Is the moon visible? Did <enter far off relative> in <enter farther off country> see it?Was it hiding behind a tree? It was?!

In that case, I think I’ll celebrate it the day after my third cousin’sgreat uncle’s daughter in law’s granny does.You know, just to be sure, in case Allah is watching and he gets mad that we missed the chance to argue over something.

My husband no longer calls it moon sighting. He says the correct term is now moon fighting.

As the actions of the crazy fucked up minority of the religion get more frequent, I am seeing more of the world calling for the peace loving ones of us to do something about it. I think they see it as sort of like asking parents why the eff they don’t do something about their delinquent kids. Except I don’t remember giving birth to evil monsters. Shudders.

That delivery would’ve been something. Forget the birth. Just consider the episiotomy.

My cousin is more religious than I am. She covers her hair and I don’t. She doesn’t gossip and I do. A lot. She’s involved with social work and I’m not. My contribution to the community is to keep my kids from fighting in public places.

We both follow the same book. She interprets verses one way while I interpret them another. I don’t say she’s right and she doesn’t say I’m wrong. We are both free to practice the religion as we see fit.

I don’t understand, then, why we are to blame, apologize, or take responsibility for someone who doesn’t follow her version or my version but chooses to espouse his own evil, perverted version. I fail to see what we have to do with that. Or what Buddhists have to do with this. Or Hindus have with this.

Say we followed the religion of shapes. I liked circles and you liked squares. And then some dumb ass mofo decides to bust out a triangle. Do we give up our love of geometry?

Am I getting anywhere with this, or is my circle story pointless? 😆

It might be for whom nothing we say is enough. We can condemn until the cows come home and make buttermilk. We can preach nonviolence, hold interfaith gatherings, give interviews, but they’ll still insist “Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.”

Thanks, Rupert Murdoch. How the hell did you get where you are if you can’t even spell Muslim? What else would you like for us peaceful Moslems to do? Sit on the bombs ourselves? I’m all for making the world a better place, but how do I do that with my ass falling off of me?

The majority of us are just people simply trying to live our lives. I’m sure you don’t hear of us, though. How could you? “Muslim working, 9-5″ doesn’t make the news. Muslim dropping kids offat daycare doesn’t either, nor does Muslim enjoying company sponsored free seafood buffet. Muslim slowly realizing he’s allergic to shellfish might, though.

Before you know it, a whole lotta people are blamed for the actions of some.

That’s not to say Muslims or Islam is in any way near perfect. Far from it. We’ve got our problems, like any large, multiracial, and multicultural group would.

One complaint I always had was that Muslims should lighten up and be less judgmental of other Muslims. The liberal use of the word haram, meaning sinful, is another. Because haram is everywhere.

I’m haram. You’re haram. Is anyone out there not haram? Come on, people, save the judging for Allah and the afterlife.

Yup, we’ve got issues all right. And the fucked up, crazy minority is one of them. Sad that only the stupid ones are heard and spoken about. Such as this guy.

*Shaking my head in disbelief *

Forget sharing minute similarities of the same faith. Right now I’m embarrassed to be part of their species.

When I was in middle school, I made the mistake of making fun of the religion of a couple of classmates that had been teasing me. Yes, I went there. I regretted it almost immediately, though, and apologized soon after.

I saw the bewilderment and hurt in their eyes at the insult to their god and their religious practices. I decided that that was a level I never wanted to stoop to ever again. A person’s religion is beloved for him or her. It’s their way of life. And to ridicule something that important to someone else would truly be a callous thing to do.

In the words of Homer Simpson, “Jesus, Allah, Buddha! I love you all!”

But that’s just me and my way of doing things. I can’t shove that opinion onto someone else. If you want to draw cartoons, you should be able to draw cartoons, whether they offend people or not.

I remember watching a news special on the KKK once. The African American mayor of a large city was in charge of and had to provide the security for the rally that the group intended to host that day. And of course he didn’t agree with them in the least. But it was their right. And rights are and should be equal for all, bucktooth ignoramus included.


Russia 1st, U.S. 2nd in 5,000-meter relay

SOCHI, Russia -- Viktor Ahn was already a Russian citizen. At the Sochi Olympics, he was embraced as a national hero by his adopted country.

Ahn clapped as he crossed the finish line after leading Russia to Olympic gold in the 5,000-meter relay. His countrymen applauded right back, cheering the speedy skater who delivered the nation's first medals in short track.

"This will be the best Olympics in my life," he said in Korean. "I will never forget it."

Fittingly, Ahn capped his four-medal performance in Sochi with gold in the relay, a medal he wanted the most as a way to unify the team he joined after forsaking his native South Korea.

"I'm so happy to be able to smile in the end with my teammates," he said.

His former teammates weren't nearly as happy. The South Korean men's team left Sochi without a single medal.

Ahn won two golds on Friday's final night of short track to tie retired star Apolo Anton Ohno for the most career Olympic medals in the rough and tumble sport with eight. Ahn won four golds at the 2006 Turin Games, and added a bronze and three golds in Sochi.

Ahn clinched the relay by taking the lead for good after passing American J.R. Celski with eight laps to go. Earlier in the evening, he won the 500, the only event Ahn had never won in two Olympics.

"He just shows he is the best guy in the world, definitely here," Ohno said. "He's got eight medals, six gold. Perhaps the best ever to put short track speed skates on. Yeah, I would say so."

Ahn held his own news conference in the wee hours of Saturday morning, explaining that he waited until the end of short track to address the long-asked questions about why he left South Korea.

The 28-year-old Seoul-born skater switched nationalities in 2011 after competing for South Korea as Ahn Hyun-soo in Turin. A career-threatening knee injury in 2008 and multiple surgeries kept him from producing results for his skating club and he didn't have enough time to qualify for the 2010 Vancouver Games.

Ahn's team soon disbanded and other teams were already full, leaving him at a loose ends

"I was feeling bad and sad," he said. "My goal was to participate in another Olympics."

The shy redhead eventually found a new home in Russia. South Korea law prevents men from holding dual citizenship, so he had to find a new national identity, too.

"I made a decision and I have no regret," he said. "I would like to thank Russia."

Ahn carefully avoided saying much about his former South Korean teammates during the games out of respect to them. He said he and his father have argued about inaccurate interviews the elder man has given about his son's departure.

"I don't want there to be too much controversy in Korea about me," he said.

Ahn revealed that the thin gold band on his left ring finger was a wedding ring. He said he hasn't yet had a ceremony with his girlfriend, but the couple obtained a marriage certificate in South Korea.

Before leaving him alone with the media, Ahn's teammates credited him for boosting short track's profile in Russia, where it was a little known sport before the Olympics.

"He's pushing us forward and we grow with him," skater Semen Elistratov said.

Added Ruslan Zakharov, "Viktor has a lot to show to us and every competition we learn from him."

Aleksei Kravtsov, president of the Russian speedskating federation, said tickets were sold to short track practice for the first time and the competition was shown live on national television.

"The Olympic Games have given a great boost to short track in Russia because of his brilliant performance," Kravtsov said. "His presence will continue to boost our sport."

The decibel level inside Iceberg Skating Palace was higher for Ahn than it had been a night earlier when Adelina Sotnikova became the country's first gold medalist in women's figure skating in the same building.

"So many people supported me," Ahn said.

The mostly Russian crowd chanted the first name of their adopted star as he mounted the top spot on the medal podium twice in a row at the end of the night.

American J.R. Celski skated head-to-head with Ahn in the relay and came away impressed.

"Everybody in short track should give that guy credit, and they do," he said.

The relay got off to a chaotic start with China and the Netherlands crashing not even halfway through the opening lap. It became a two-nation race between Russia and the U.S. for most of the 45 laps.

Chris Creveling briefly put the U.S. in front with 15 laps left, overtaking Vladimir Grigorev. But Ahn rallied his teammates to victory.

Eddy Alvarez, Celski, Creveling and Jordan Malone took silver for the first U.S. medal in speedskating at the Sochi Games. The U.S. speedskaters were shut out in 12 long track events, and had failed to get on the podium in the first seven short track races.

The medal helped the Americans avoid a shutout for the first time since 1998 in Nagano.

China overcame the early trouble to take bronze.

Earlier, Ahn rallied to win the 500, overtaking Wu on the last lap after Liang Wenhao of China crashed out. It was the only Olympic race Ahn had never captured, and he became the first skater to win a career sweep of all four Olympic short track events.

"It was Ahn's clinic on how to short track speedskate tonight. He wrote a textbook," Ohno said of Ahn's 500 race.

Ohno, now retired and working as a TV commentator at the games, had been confident that Ahn would tie his record set from 2002-2010.

Ahn gave Russia its first medal in the sport by earning bronze in the 1,500 on the opening day of competition in Sochi. He later won the 1,000.

Wu earned silver in the 500 and Charle Cournoyer of Canada took bronze.

In the women's 1,000, Park Seung-hi of South Korea won her third medal of the games.

(ANTIMEDIA) South Dakota — TransCanada shut down a lengthy portion of its Keystone pipeline on Monday after a reported 187 gallons of crude oil spilled in South Dakota. Though the leak could be considered proportionately minor — estimated by TransCanada to cover a 10- to 30-foot area on the ground — it sparked fresh debate over the relative safety of pipelines, in general, as a means for transporting crude.

TransCanada stated the leak had not caused “significant environmental impact” on the surrounding area, located approximately four miles from the Freeman pump station in Hutchinson County, but the appropriate regulatory agencies and local landowners had been notified.

First alerted to the spill when workers observed “visible signs of oil on a small surface area,” TransCanada said it “immediately” shut down the leg of pipeline running from Alberta, Canada to Cushing, Oklahoma and began emergency response procedures. The portion of Keystone from Cushing to Texas remains operational.

An inspector from the Department of Transportation (DOT) has been deployed and is “actively investigating” the cause of the spill, the DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration told CNN Money. Pending results of the investigation, Keystone could reopen as soon as Friday.

Approved in 2008 by then-President George W. Bush, Keystone “leaked oil 12 times in its first year of operation alone,” ThinkProgress noted. TransCanada’s contentious proposal to expand its pipeline, known as Keystone XL or KXL, failed to win Obama’s approval in November 2015, after the State Department advised the project “raises a range of concerns about the impact on local communities, water supplies, and cultural heritage sites.”

Monday’s spill served as confirmation to KXL’s opponents that Obama’s rejection of the pipeline expansion plan had been most appropriate given the threat such pipelines pose to the environment. Michael Brune, Executive Director of the Sierra Club, issued a statement quoted by ThinkProgress on Monday concerning the spill:

“TransCanada’s Keystone I disaster is a stark reminder that it’s not a question if a pipeline will malfunction, but rather a question of when. This is one of the reasons President Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline and it’s why he should reject all dangerous fossil fuel pipeline proposals.”

Despite the defeat of the KXL project, multiple other pipeline projects are slated to begin in the United States — and each could potentially harm local environments, risk residents’ safety, or both.

One natural gas pipeline extension, called the Algonquin Incremental Market project, will run through the property of the ailing nuclear plant, Indian Point Energy Center — which sits just 30 miles from the New York City metropolis. Residents, activists, nuclear experts, and even some politicians have been desperately trying to prevent the pipeline’s construction to no avail — in part due to what amounts to a blackout by corporate media.

Outside the U.S., Canada’s First Nations have been fighting pipelines associated with Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) development, particularly in British Columbia. In fact, members of the Gitga’at First Nation recently took the Canadian government to court to prevent construction of a portion of pipeline from running through their land, in part because it would disrupt and potentially decimate the invaluable native salmon species that spawns in the area.

Despite all the controversies, it’s virtually inevitable the various North American pipeline projects will be implemented — even as spills like Monday’s Keystone incident continue to occur without warning.

“This spill clearly reinforces the need for the Obama Administration to require a thorough environmental review for Enbridge’s Alberta Clipper and other efforts to expand its Midwestern tar sands pipeline system,” said Natural Resources Defense Council Canada Program Director Anthony Swift. “And that review should put protecting the public from oil infrastructure harm as the highest priority.”

Economics, however, remains the greatest hurdle to breaking the cozy relationship between Big Oil and government. Cited by the Wall Street Journal, National Bank Financial Analyst Patrick Kenny explained TransCanada’s Keystone pipeline represents around 15 percent of the export capacity for Western Canada.

European Union invests $1.2bn in supercomputers to compete with China, US

Andrus Ansip, European Commission vice-president for the Digital Single Market, said: 'Supercomputers are the engine to power the digital economy.

The EU's contribution in EuroHPC will be around €486 million under the current multiannual fnancial framework, matched by a similar amount from member states and associated countries.

The move has been marked as a step forward in the European ambitions to be competitive and independent in the global data economy, with the Gaggle of Red-tapers looking to bring work back into the continent.

Expertise built up in the first phase would help Europe go beyond petaflops for the second stage of its research project and aims, by 2023, to make a machine that can breach the exaflop barrier.

Although the €1 billion investment is only created to extend out to 2020, the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking is supposed to remain operational until the end of 2026, which presumably will require another round of investments. Of that amount, $589 million will come from the EU. "Before the new structure was put in place, the Commission was effectively limited to contributing 20 percent to HPC initiatives undertaken with member states", noted Steve Conway, Research Vice President, Hyperion Research. The second is that the Commission has identified a lack of HPC resources within European borders.

There are of course quite a few supercomputers located around the world, but few are with the grasp of the Gagglers. The report recommended that Europe should align its exascale efforts with those of the other major players, while also increasing the EC's funding contribution.

The European Union plans to spend €1 billion (US$1.2bn) on supercomputing by 2020, with half the funds coming from member states and the other half from the European Commission. Looking at the top ten supercomputers, two are in China, one in Switzerland, three in Japan and four are in the US.

Mark Parsons of the University of Edinburgh said that it would make much more sense for the United Kingdom to work on supercomputer development with other countries and that a lot of the viability would depend on the country's political status post-Brexit.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society added: "Supercomputers are already at the core of major advancements and innovations in many areas directly affecting the daily lives of European citizens". "They can help us to develop personalized medicine, save energy and fight against climate change more efficiently".

European scientists and industry risk yielding secrets or sensitive information as they increasingly process data outside the EU to perform tasks in the absence of the best supercomputers, the commission said.

On the antiquity of metalloenzymes and their substrates in bioenergetics.
Many metalloenzymes that inject and extract reducing equivalents at the beginning and the end of electron transport chains involved in chemiosmosis are suggested, through phylogenetic analysis, to have been present in the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA). Their active centres are affine with the structures of minerals presumed to contribute to precipitate membranes produced on the mixing of hydrothermal solutions with the Hadean Ocean ~4 billion years ago. These mineral precipitates consist of transition element sulphides and oxides such as nickelian mackinawite ([Fe>Ni]2S2), a nickel-bearing greigite (~FeSS[Fe3NiS4]SSFe), violarite (~NiSS[Fe2Ni2S4]SSNi), a molybdenum bearing complex (~Mo(IV/VI)2Fe3S(0/2-)9) and green rust or fougerite (~[Fe(II)Fe(III)(OH)4](+)[OH](-)). They may be respectively compared with the active centres of Ni-Fe hydrogenase, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH), acetyl coenzyme-A synthase (ACS), the complex iron-sulphur molybdoenzyme (CISM) superfamily and methane monooxygenase (MMO). With the look of good catalysts - a suggestion that gathers some support from prebiotic hydrothermal experimentation - and sequestered by short peptides, they could be thought of as the original building blocks of proto-enzyme active centres. This convergence of the makeup of the LUCA-metalloenzymes with mineral structure and composition of hydrothermal precipitates adds credence to the alkaline hydrothermal (chemiosmotic) theory for the emergence of life, specifically to the possibility that the first metabolic pathway - the acetyl CoA pathway - was initially driven from either end, reductively from CO2 to CO and oxidatively and reductively from CH4 through to a methane thiol group, the two entities assembled with the help of a further thiol on a violarite cluster sequestered by peptides. By contrast, the organic coenzymes were entirely a product of the first metabolic pathways. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Metals in Bioenergetics and Biomimetics Systems.

Water-based coating compositions include water-based copolymers and cross-linking agents as components. The water-based copolymers are desirable for use in coating systems in the automotive and industrial coatings industries because these copolymers enable formulation of waterborne coating systems, such as WBBC, WBCC, and waterborne primer systems. It is known in the art that waterborne coating systems are ideal as compared to solventborne coating systems because waterborne coating systems have lower content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
The water-based copolymers of the prior art have proven to be inadequate for use as a component in water-based coating compositions. The water-based copolymers of the prior art are ineffective because these copolymers are highly viscous, as secondary dispersions, and generally have poorly defined film forming characteristics, as primary dispersions. Furthermore, the cross-linking between the copolymers of the prior art and conventional cross-linking agents, such as aminoplasts, are often particularly susceptible to poor chip performance and environmental acid etch.
The water-based copolymers of the prior art are also deficient because these copolymers often incorporate additional components such as co-solvents and surfactants which are both undesirable components in waterborne coating systems. For instance, conventional water-based copolymers typically incorporate a co-solvent to promote dispersibility of the copolymer in water, and these co-solvents contribute to increased VOCs. Conventional water-based copolymers also typically incorporate surfactants into the copolymer to promote and maintain miscibility and incorporation of the copolymer in water, and as understood by those skilled in the art, the incorporation of surfactants into coating compositions frequently contributes to water sensitivity, humidity, and ‘cratering’ as well as other coating defects detrimental to the appearance of the waterborne coating system.
The free-radical polymerization methods of preparing the water-based copolymers of the prior art are also deficient. These conventional methods are typically highly exothermic and are therefore difficult to predict and control. The unpredictability of these methods leads to uncontrollable and inconsistent physical properties of the water-based copolymer and ultimately of the water-based coating composition which includes the copolymer as a component. More specifically, the unpredictability of these methods frequently leads to inconsistent molecular weight distribution of the copolymer, and to incomplete conversion of monomer components into the copolymer. Furthermore, in the preparation of conventional water-based copolymers, distribution of the monomer components is random and does not produce a ‘tailored’ polymeric architecture that is able to meet particular needs depending on whether the copolymer is utilized in a WBBC, WBCC, or waterborne primer system. It is understood in the art that inconsistent molecular weights, incomplete conversion of monomer components, and even random distribution of the monomer components affects, among other things, the stability of the viscosity of the copolymer and can even result in ‘gelling’ of the copolymer and of the water-based coating composition. Additionally, poor appearance characteristics of the WBBC, WBCC, or waterborne primer system, such as gloss and distinctness of image (DOI), can result from poor rheology, i.e., flow, of the coating composition upon application that is due to the inconsistencies in the water-based copolymer.
In sum, the prior art water-based copolymers which are components of the water-based coating composition, as detailed above, are characterized by one or more inadequacies. Due to the inadequacies identified in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a novel water-based copolymer and coating composition to be utilized in WBBC, WBCC, and waterborne primer systems as well as a novel method of preparing the coating composition and a cured film.

“The Greenest Building in the World”

From the Medfield Energy Committee’s David Temple (originally in the New York Times on 4/2/13) –

SEATTLE — When an office building here that bills itself as the world’s greenest officially opens later this month, it will present itself as a “living building zoo,” with docents leading tours and smartphone-wielding tourists able to scan bar codes to learn about the artfully exposed mechanical and electrical systems.

Multimedia

Tenants have already begun moving into the six-story Bullitt Center, in advance of its grand opening on Earth Day, April 22. With the final touches nearly complete on the 50,000-square-foot office building at 1501 East Madison Street, at the edge of the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, its occupants are about to embark upon an unparalleled — and very public — experiment in sustainability.

Once settled in, they will be guinea pigs in a $30 million living laboratory distinguished by its composting toilets, strict energy and water budgets and a conspicuous lack of on-site parking. To earn its environmental bragging rights, the Bullitt Center must complete a rigorous one-year certification process called the Living Building Challenge, which requires both water and energy self-sufficiency, among a list of 20 demands.

Provided that the building clears a few remaining regulatory hurdles, all its water will be supplied by rainwater collected in a 56,000-gallon cistern before being filtered and disinfected. A rooftop array of photovoltaic panels, extending beyond the building like the brim of a graduation mortarboard, will produce an estimated 230,000 kilowatt-hours a year, hopefully just enough to break even for a building that is 83 percent more efficient than the city’s typical commercial site.

The project’s backers, led by the environmentally minded Bullitt Foundation, hope to demonstrate that a carbon-neutral office space can be commercially viable and aesthetically stunning without saddling its occupants with onerous demands. And they are determined to make their strategy and performance so transparent that it can be easily copied.

Instead of tucking the mechanical and electrical rooms out of sight, for example, large plate glass windows will showcase the engineering, while quick response codes tag points of interest so tourists can use their smartphones to learn about individual elements, according to Chris Rogers, the chief executive and partner of the developer, Point32.

A kiosk in a double-height exhibition space will also let visitors access real-time measurements like the building’s indoor air quality, energy consumption, photovoltaic power production and water levels. The Bullitt Center, in fact, will be one of the planet’s most closely monitored commercial buildings, allowing managers to single out energy hogs down to the level of individual plugs, said Robert B. Peña, an associate professor of architecture in the Integrated Design Lab at the University of Washington.

If the building is still the highest-performing one of its kind 10 years from now, said Denis Hayes, president and chief executive of the Bullitt Foundation, the experiment will have failed.

The Living Building Challenge’s imperatives go far beyond those of the better-known LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Its yearlong vetting process is designed in part to avoid the embarrassment suffered by some LEED certified buildings, where seemingly efficient buildings have proven to be much less so after the buildings have been completed and undergone energy audits.

While a number of states, counties and municipalities provide tax credits and fee reductions for LEED structures, only a few municipalities have followed suit so far for the newer Living Building Challenge. Nevertheless, proponents say that avoiding energy and water utility bills for 250 years, the expected life span of the Bullitt Center, offers its own compelling financial incentives.

The Living Building Challenge has 143 registered projects in 10 countries. Its process is so demanding, however, that only three buildings in the United States have been fully certified so far; the largest of those is an eighth the size of the Bullitt Center.

So much potential energy savings has already been wrung out of the building in its construction that nearly half of the expected electricity use will depend on what’s plugged into the outlets. Every tenant will be expected to abide by strict annual usage budgets or pay for overages, but extra-fine electrical circuits and detailed outlet metering can help diagnose problem spots down to, say, a malfunctioning printer.

Mr. Hayes is keenly aware that the building’s success depends upon its attractiveness to tenants, and his development team is promoting several distinctive features, including the fact that it may be the first heavy-timber midrise building erected in Seattle since the 1920s. The timber and steel frame uses native Douglas fir certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The exposed wood ceilings on the 13-foot-high upper floors also contribute to an airy loftlike feel, with exposed steel cross braces and 10-foot-high windows that maximize daylight.

Another signature feature, a glass-enclosed stairwell that Mr. Hayes has named the “irresistible stairway,” rewards climbers with panoramic views of downtown and Puget Sound. The behavioral carrot, aimed at promoting both health and energy conservation, has been juxtaposed with the stick of a slow and less conveniently sited elevator that requires key card access. With advertised lease rates of $28 to $30 a square foot, the building is in line with comparable properties.

It helps that a group of enthusiastic early adopters has already leased more than two-thirds of the available office space. That group includes several organizations and companies heavily invested in the project’s success: PAE Consulting Engineers, the building’s lead engineering firm; the developer Point32, which will manage a 40-desk co-working space; the Integrated Design Lab, which played a major consulting role and will have both office space and a 40-seat classroom; and the International Living Future Institute, which since 2006 has run the Living Building Challenge.

The pioneering spirit resonates strongly with other tenants-to-be like Michele Gomes, co-owner and chief creative officer of Interchange Media Art Productions, a video and television production company.

Ms. Gomes and her business partner are leasing two desks on the fourth floor co-working space, a “huge move up” from her company’s current office in a windowless and perpetually cold basement, she said. Even more important, Ms. Gomes is eager to work among peers who have similar sustainability values. “To have like-minded people sharing the same space, to me that’s going to be extremely inspiring,” she said.

Intentional Futures, a technology and software-focused design and engineering studio founded by former Microsoft executives, has leased the 7,900-square-foot fifth floor. Ian Sands, a co-founder and managing partner, said the 20-employee company had outgrown its office directly beneath a local broadcaster’s helipad and was looking to tap into the creative energy emanating from the city’s bustling Pike-Pine Corridor.

Although Mr. Sands admires the decision to forgo a traditional garage, he said the lack of on-site parking, coupled with Seattle’s inadequate mass transit, could create commuting headaches for employees who live in the city’s eastern suburbs and who may “have to figure out other methods or places to park nearby because they will have to drive.”

Mr. Hayes said the decision to not have on-site parking generated “spirited conversation” during the design phase. Instead, a space about the size of a three-car garage will be reserved exclusively for bicycles, while commuting bicyclists can wash away the morning sweat in one of the rainwater-fed showers on each floor.

Steve Whitney, the Bullitt Foundation’s program officer, said he had adapted to his new work space by buying a second bike.

On a partly cloudy afternoon in early March, Mr. Whitney, Mr. Hayes, and three other Bullitt Foundation employees gathered in a glass-walled conference room in their sixth floor office to offer some admittedly biased first impressions.

Less than a week after moving from a nearly windowless brick carriage house, the employees were still amazed by the spectacular views, ample natural light and almost distracting quiet. The composting toilets, though, remained a source of curiosity even for them, and early discussions have centered on the pulse of foam that cascades down the inner rim of each funnel-shaped bowl to expedite its delivery to the waiting composters below.

Two weeks later, Mr. Peña led a tour group of corporate real estate professionals through the bowels of the Bullitt Center to check out the business end of the 24 toilets. Two rows of five bright blue aerobic composters, each the “size of a Fiat 500,” he figured, were busily doing their thing — so efficiently that the first compost extraction would not be required for another 18 months, when the resulting mulch will be commingled with other compost from King County.

But do they smell? Mr. Peña invited his tour group of 20 to inspect the boxy composters up close and determine for themselves: they did not. The aerobic process is odorless, provided that the building’s maintenance workers ensure proper ventilation and regular mixing.

Ultimately, Mr. Peña hoped the building’s novelties would become invisible as the occupants adjusted. “As much as I like to think of this building as a living laboratory, I think for the commercial tenants in this building, we also want it to be just as normal as possible,” he said.

I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield selectman. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.

New reduction technique for severely displaced pediatric radial neck fractures.
This study describes a new maneuver to assist in the closed reduction of severely displaced (angulated >60 degrees) pediatric radial neck fractures. Four patients with displaced radial neck fractures were identified prospectively when attempts at reduction in the emergency department failed. The new reduction maneuver was performed in the operating room with the patient under general anesthesia. All fractures were reduced to near-anatomic position, and all fractures were followed to union. No reduction was lost. The authors conclude that the proposed reduction technique can be of assistance in the nonoperative management of these fractures. The authors also recommend that all attempts at reduction of these severely displaced fractures be performed with the patient under general anesthesia.

Ten Ways to Maintain the Value of Your Car

A lot of car owners become concerned with the value of their cars only when it comes time to sell them. But cars don’t lose value overnight, unless of course they undergo an accident. The value of your car can be maintained – or lost – over the many years that you own it. How you care for your car has everything to do with the price it will command when it comes time to sell it or trade it in for a new car.

Here are 10 ways to maintain the value of your car, and each is best implemented as soon as you buy it.

1. Keep the car in the garage

Taking care of your car will help it retain value.

Have you ever noticed that in many homes a garage functions primarily as a second basement? And in households that have no basement, the garage IS the basement. What I mean by that is that the garage serves primarily as a collection point for everything except a car.

That may be good for your household storage situation, but it can the hurt value of your car.

A car that’s parked in a garage is protected from the elements. That means cold, heat, bright sunshine, wind, hail, driving rain, and snowstorms. It’s even protected from branches and other debris that may fall out of nearby trees.

If you have a garage, be sure to use it to store your car – not for other purposes.

2. Get regular tune-ups

Mechanical problems with cars tend to be progressive in nature. That means that small issues become big problems, sooner or later. Since you’re never entirely sure when you may need to sell or trade in your car, it’s best to have a car undergo regular tune ups, to avoid the kind of problems that can cut the value of your car substantially. In addition, a car that has regular tune ups tends run better and quieter – and that’s something that car buyers notice.

3. Don’t smoke in your car

Not only does cigarette smoke give the interior of a car the smell of impacted ashtray, but it can also cause interior surfaces to dull and even turn yellowish-brown. Since only 22% of the adult population smokes cigarettes, you can be certain that the cigarette smell in your car will be offensive to at least the 78% of the population that doesn’t smoke. That will cut the potential market for your car substantially – as well as the value.

4. Clean up stains on carpet and upholstery as soon as possible

Car interiors are generally designed to resist stains. However, this resistance works best when you clean spills soon after they occur. If you allow spills to stay on upholstery or carpets for weeks or months, they can go to the point of no return and become full-blown permanent stains.

This is particularly a problem if you have small children who have a preference for red colored drinks. There’s something about red dye that simply resists coming out any kind of material. Should anything red make contact with any material surfaces in your car, be sure to clean it up immediately. Those stains that you might ignore can be a value killer to a potential buyer of your car.

5. Get the oil changed regularly

Probably the single maintenance step you can perform on your car that is the most cost effective is getting regular oil changes. They’re relatively inexpensive – typically $30-$50 per change – and they can prevent major problems in the engine itself.

6. Investigate and repair any unusual engine noises

Engine noises are often the first sign of significant problems with your car. If you catch those problems early in the process, they can often be repaired at minimal cost. But let them go too far, and they can turn into major expenses. Get any unusual noises or check-engine lights checked out as soon as you notice them.

This can be even more important you’re planning to sell your car. Experienced car buyers know to listen carefully to the sound your cars engine. A smooth running engine is often evidenced by a quiet consistent sound. But knocking, clanking, or intermittent sounds can be an indication of more serious engine problems. As the long-term owner of the car, you may overlook unusual sounds – but rest assured that a buyer won’t.

7. Use Armor-all or equivalent product to protect vinyl surfaces

Vinyl surfaces in a car are prone to dulling and cracking over time. This is especially true if you live in the Sun Belt, where intense summer sunshine can wreak havoc with car surfaces, both inside and outside the vehicle.

Though damaged vinyl surfaces don’t indicate problems with the engine or the drive train in any way, they may give the impression that the car is not well-maintained.

Fortunately, there inexpensive products that you can use that will keep your vinyl surfaces fresh and new. Armor All has products for this purpose that will preserve your cars vinyl like it’s new. If you use these products at least twice a year, you’ll keep the surfaces fresh, giving a prospective buyer the impression of a well-maintained vehicle.

8. Wax your car a few times a year

You should plan to wax your car a few times per year. This will not only protect the surface, but it will also help to maintain the color of your vehicle longer. Though it’s completely superficial, the quality of the paint job on your car is the first thing that a buyer will notice about the vehicle. If the paint is dull and worn, a prospective buyer may not look any farther, even if the car is in perfect shape mechanically.

9. Drive it easy

Some people drive their cars like they’re still in high school – engaging in a rapid acceleration, sudden stops, hard turns, and crude parking jobs. As exciting as those actions may be at the time that you’re doing them, they’re taking a toll on your car, particularly if you make a habit of them over the years you own it.

Hard-driving results in accelerated wear and tear, and can lead to weird noises, as well as permanent impairment of certain parts of the car. Drive it hard if you feel you must, but understand that you’ll have to pay for it when it comes time to sell the car – if not sooner. Side benefit: driving smoothly uses less gas.

10. Keep mileage to a minimum

Everyone knows that the mileage on your car has a major effect on its value. More miles equals lower value, fewer miles result in a higher value. Simple. For this reason, you need to keep mileage to an absolute minimum. Consolidate trips, carpool where you can, set aside a few days each month to go car-less – it all adds up. Consolidating trips is also better for your engine and gas mileage, as your car performs more efficiently with a warm engine.

Mileage is all about driving habits, and if you can get into the habit of driving less, your car will ultimately be worth more.

Are there other habits and maintenance tips you can offer to help maintain the value of a car?

A lot of times it’s tempting to put off maintenance to save money, but if you think about it, ongoing maintenance is part of the expected cost of having a car. You can either prevent a little problem now, or wait until it becomes a big problem later.

I recently learned another way to save gas money and keep your car running longer;by simply warming it up. Some if not most people probably already know this simple little tool to help your car last longer, but sadly I haven’t been doing this.

I just got one of those spot cleaner things, because the upholstery in one of our vehicles is starting to smell funky and I am soooo not okay with it.
I’m going to use this article as justification to my spouse that a garage is an absolute must in the future, when we eventually buy a house. I can’t stand how people don’t care about parking outside (mostly because I hate getting snow off of them and waiting for windshields to defrost).
