And in this presidential campaign, when his Vietnam War deferments and military experience became an issue, he cited high school as his military experience. “It was not like what happens today,’’ he recalled. “You had to learn to survive.’’ Trump told D’Antonio that when he sassed one instructor - a World War II vet - he got roughed up. So, in 1959, Trump was enrolled in the New York Military Academy, a boarding school in the Hudson Valley that was both strict (students wore uniforms) and lax (hazing was common). ![]() He said he gave a teacher in elementary school a black eye. “I always loved to fight,’’ he told biographer Michael D’Antonio. The boy was variously described as bullying, rambunctious and rebellious. June 14, 1946)īy the time he was 13, Donald Trump was “a pretty rough fellow,’’ his father, Fred, once admitted. Here, for each candidate, are five defining moments that occurred before most Americans got to know them - Clinton before the White House and the State Department, Trump before Atlantic City and The Apprentice. Rarely has ambition, in such different forms, taken such different routes toward the White House. If biography is destiny, that helps explain why Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are among the most dissimilar presidential candidates ever to face off on Election Day. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() A smart handset or computer displays the ultrasound image as well as other ultrasound data. Ī few research projects have created a method for transmitting real-time ultrasound data via the internet. The dimensionality of medical image databases is rising exponentially, making it difficult to manage file systems because of the rising amount of data stored due to the growth of medical databases, so the handling of medical data has become a top priority for healthcare providers. The advancement of medical technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound imaging generates vast amounts of data on a daily basis, and the data collected from these devices include multiple dimensions and factors. However, medical devices have now evolved to the point where a large amount of data are generated in the healthcare environment daily. IoT is now also having a huge impact on medical costs and clinical outcomes. Remote monitoring of a patient’s health has also shown to lead to a reduction in hospitalizations and re-admissions. Furthermore, patient engagement and satisfaction have also been enhanced, and interactions with doctors have become easier and more efficient. IoT has been recognized as being one of the most significant research topics in the field of medicine, particularly in image processing. With the introduction of real-time analytics in healthcare, we see technology exceeding the limits of what we can currently achieve in this sector. Since the Internet of Things (IoT) has a significant role in a variety of areas, including IoT-based healthcare, intelligent buildings, and smart monitoring, the evolution of smart medical sensors, gadgets, cloud computing, and healthcare technology is attracting major interest from academics and the healthcare business. This method will enrich the telemedicine facilities both for patients and physicians by assisting with overall monitoring of data. We have implemented an authentic and NS3-based simulation environment to monitor real-time ultrasound image data on the IoT server and have analyzed the system performance, which has been impressive. The Raspberry Pi 3 (RSPI3) forwards the patient information along with a unique encrypted image data link from the FTP server to the IoT server. ![]() A Raspberry Pi processes HL7 messages received from medical devices like an ultrasound machine (ULSM) and extracts only the image data for transfer to an FTP server. To address this problem, this study proposes a model in which the system displays images as well as patient data on an IoT dashboard. It is more difficult to handle the monitoring of ultrasound, MRI, or CT image data via IoT. Transferring large amounts of data such as images to IoT servers based on machine-to-machine communication is difficult and time consuming over MQTT and MLLP protocols, and since IoT brokers only handle a limited number of bytes of data, such protocols can only transfer patient information and other text data. ![]() To ensure the continuing technological improvement of hospitals, physicians now also must properly maintain and manage large volumes of patient data. It has already improved in a wide range of areas thanks to significant and continuous research into the practical implications of biomedical and telemedicine studies. In recent years, the healthcare system, along with the technology that surrounds it, has become a sector in much need of development. ![]() ![]() ![]() When she passed away, he got involved with TNU and vowed to his ancestors to live his truth of being Choctaw Native American, which is their authentic heritage. Many of you probably remember that from 2010-2016 we had the profound privilege of caring for his dear Mother, “Mama Loyce”, who was unable to do anything for herself due to advanced Alzhiemers. He has no criminal record and is not a threat to society.įor those of you who don’t know, Kristian has been working in Las Vegas as a Volunteer for his Native American Family, Tribal Nations United Ministries (TNU.global). We feel he is being discriminated against for being Native American. The alleged charges are serious and the bail is excessive. On November 23, 2020, which happened to be his 53rd Birthday, he was arrested in Las Vegas and to this day, is still incarcerated. I am humbled to the point of asking for help on behalf of my husband, Kristian Craige. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers! ✌ Our hearts go out to those who are suffering for so many different reasons. On the vaccine front, Mama has had both of hers & I have had my first one. The House of High Hopes is small, old, & drafty and yet we were protected. Mama & I, along with Angel, Harley, Jonnie Ross, Nia & Mystic, were so grateful to make it through the extreme weather without losing power or water. We really appreciate your friendship and support. Some of you have sent money directly to me which is enabling me to have his car transported from Vegas to Dallas and to keep sending him funds for phone & commissary. ![]() If it ends up going to a Jury Trial it will cost even more. The lawyer has been paid $4500 up front with $4500 still due. Thanks to your generous donations on this GoFundMe, we have raised $5600 so far. Next court date is Tuesday, March 2nd at 8:30am. The attorney we hired, Chris Grasso, is determined to help and we are confident in his ability to do so. We talk everyday and continue to hope that this will be over soon. It has been over 3 months, and Kristian is still in jail because of alleged charges. More than ever, we realize how fortunate we are just to be alive and how important our message is to Never Give Up and Keep Moving Forward no matter what! Hopefully we will close this chapter soon and get on with our dream of touching peoples’ hearts with our music. My heart goes out to the inmates who don’t have the support of loved ones. Kristian says it is heartbreaking to see the reality of our criminal justice system on the inside. Those of you who have been through something like this, know how expensive it is to keep a loved one in commissary & phone calls. I’ve paid the lawyer $7000 so far and still owe him $2000 which is only pretrial costs. I’m sharing our GoFundMe again because we still need help. I’m not sure what we would have done without you. I know a lot of you who are reading this, have already donated and we really appreciate your generosity. We will be so grateful to have him home with us. What a wonderful feeling it will be, to reunite after such a strange ordeal. When he is vindicated, which we know will happen because we have the Truth on our side, he will happily return to Dallas were he belongs. He has a job waiting for him with Victory Outreach as a Musical Minister where he will be able to sublease a room and stay in Vegas so he can prepare his defense for a jury trial on September 13th. We remain hopeful that the Judge will finally let him out. ![]() The next court hearing is Thursday, April 29th. During the last court hearing which was on April 22nd, he was frustrated because he saw with his own eyes how Kristian is being mistreated & discriminated against. The attorney we hired, Chris Grasso is doing everything in his power to get him released. His spirit is stronger than ever, even after 5 months of being falsely incarcerated. It means a lot to feel the love when we need it the most!Īnd now for an update on my dear husband Kristian Craige. Our Family really appreciates all the heartfelt condolences we have received from so many of you. Please keep praying for Grandma Jody who is feeling the unnatural grief of a Mother losing a child, and for his wife Sabrina, who is beyond sad about her soulmate dying.

So I see Alex being a little harder to get ahold of than D.C. The balance is weird with long, lanky guys. “The bigger they are, the easier their legs touch the ground. With Gustafsson’s physique, Cruz pointed out that the downside of it is that it may not be easy to control inside the octagon especially when being used to counter Cormier’s preferred method of defeating his opponents. The good thing is, everything that Alex does kind of gives that single-leg up,” Cruz said during a recent interview with MMAjunkie Radio.Ĭruz added that this is where physicality could be useful and make a huge difference. He needs to take him down and keep him there. If he can do it to them, he can definitely hold down an Alexander Gustafsson, and that’s what’s really going to make the difference in the fight for D.C. We saw him do it against Anthony Johnson we saw him to it to (Pat) Cummins. really only has to take down Alex one time and D.C.’s go-to is riding people out. If he can hit it on Jon Jones the same way on Alex, Alex is going to have a long night. He’s talking about Alex being tall, and how much easier it is for him to take him down. “(Cormier has) got to close range – we know that, and he’s got to look for underhooks and look for the wrestling. Main card fights will be televised live after the prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. ![]() Both of these great fighters will go head to head this coming Saturday at UFC 192 held in Houston’s Toyota Center.

The top MMA promotion company may actually look like it’s on the rocks if this is the best strategy that they can do to promote the event.ĭominick Cruz, a former UFC bantamweight champ and now a FOX UFC analyst, is not into creating commercials for the UFC, but he is fairly certain that height will play a huge part in Gustafsson’s second chance at going for the title against current champion Alexander Gustafsson.

Some programs allow conversion of Java programs from one version of the Java platform to an older one (for example Java 5.0 backported to 1.4) (see Java backporting tools). Entire new APIs, such as Swing and Java2D, have been introduced, and many of the original JDK 1.0 classes and methods have been deprecated. In addition to the language changes, other changes have been made to the Java Class Library over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5.

![]() ![]() The most noticeable change is to the bike’s sissy bar. The gear shifter has a slightly altered internal mechanism, while still retaining the original function. The chainset now features a square taper bottom bracket instead of a cotter pin bottom bracket, and the headbadge is no longer riveted to the frame. Similarly, we’ve fitted the bike with modern brakes, but replicated the classic design (so you can’t see a difference). The rear reflector, for example, matches the size and pattern of the original, but doesn't contain any metal. The rear carrier has also been strengthened to meet these rules.Īlthough every part of the bike has been expertly matched to the original, some of these elements are slightly different to improve rider safety. There’s a couple of other components that needed to be thicker to pass today’s standards, including the welded stem and the fork tubing. The dropouts and cleats are also slightly thicker to pass modern testing standards. Although the geometry is the same, the welding technique is slightly different due to modern assembly processes, and tig welding has been used on some of the joins to make the bike stronger. Luckily, by following the original technical drawings, we were able to make sure these changes stayed true to the classic design. ![]() Which means that, for a classic like the Chopper, we’ve had to make a few small tweaks to fit modern standards. Manufacturing processes are better, and safety standards are higher. It’s been over half a century since the launch of that very first Chopper – and, naturally, things have changed a bit since then. We’re also using the same numbering logic for the serial numbers – so they’ll fit in right alongside the original models. ![]() Other replicated elements include the light bracket (which can fit one original light), the seat strap, the R nuts and the kickstand.Īs for finishing touches, the reissued Chopper comes in Infra Red and Ultra Violet – the same iconic colourways that featured in the original MK2 launch. ![]() To make sure we matched the original, we created a bespoke design for the spoke protector, and the rear hub is a modern-day equivalent of the original Sturmey-Archer. The tyres are based on the mould used in the original Chopper production, and the rims are still that classic chrome-plated steel. And that’s exactly the same design you’ll find here. Thanks to our studies of the old Chopper (along with outside counsel from some expert fans), these updated handlebars are a close match to the original, with handlebar grips and brake levers that are close to replicas.Īnother iconic feature of the Chopper is its wheels – particularly that mullet setup. Those iconic U-shaped handlebars – one of the defining features of the Chopper – haven’t gone anywhere either. The same goes for the pedals, mudguards and chainguard, all of which were designed using the original technical drawings to create exact replicas of the original parts. First off, let’s take a look at all the elements that replicate the original MK2 Chopper design.įor the bike’s frame, we used original measurements to make sure the geometry of the tubing is as close as possible to the OG bike. ![]() ![]() Nova sales were good, but not like the Chevette or Cavalier. The combo sounded weird buy worked in this case. Dash consoles/control centers were an odd blend of 80’s Japanese ergonomics and big button GM components. ![]() Regardless of what model you chose, all Nova came with cloth bucket seats. Many were as expensive as the slightly larger Cavalier. Traditional Chevy buyers were not quick to bite at first because at around $8,000, the Nova was more expensive than the Corolla (older car buyers’ still saw value in the Chevrolet brand during the 80’s). Oddly, the potentially sportiest looking version, the 5-door hatchback only came in base and CL versions. Later three models (base, CL and Twin-Cam) with anywhere from four to six options groups depending on model. With only two models seven option groups, ordering a Nova was simple if not a bit pricey. Thanks to either tariff fees or a general disconnect from the rest of GM, Nova’s were not optioned and priced like most Chevrolet. As if it did not know how to market the car, Nova ads mentioned the old Nova of the 70’s but did not emphasize its performance (or lack of refinement). The Nova (and the Sprint) represented a new breed of small Japanese front wheel drive car that was slowly sweeping the Big Three’s market share away. Chevy dealers already were selling the smaller Sprint and homegrown Chevette and Cavalier. A five door hatchback was introduced with the national roll out in 1985. The carburetted engine was managed by a five speed manual or choice between 3 and 4 speed automatic transmissions. There was one model initially, a four door sedan with a 74 hp 1.6 L four-cylinder engine. The Nova would eventually replace it and be sold nationwide before changing its name to Prizm in GM new captive import division called GEO in 1989. A similar type of car built by Suzuki called the Sprint was being sold in other parts of the country. ![]() Chevrolet oddly sold the new Nova in the Midwestern United States first as if to test the waters for a small Japanese-like car with an iconic name attached to it. Eventually the factory would produce the GEO Prizm for GM. The Freemont, California factory would churn out Corollas and Chevrolet badged clones called Nova on the storied AE82 platform. The solution came in the form of collaboration with Toyota called NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc). GM tried its best to compete with its new J cars, but they were not quite what many Americans (people on the coasts) really had in mind. The smaller car market which the old Nova represented was changing rapidly. ![]() ![]() Players can interact with almost all aspects of the game environment, and even “break” the game’s script to their advantage.
