U-he Zebra VSTi AU v2.2 MAC OSX UB - ArCADE
Zebra is a next-generation virtual synthesizer plug-in. It combines subtractive and additive synthesis with a powerful modulation engine that even smoothly integrates with the built-in effects section.
With version 2, Zebra has not only become an even more wireless modular synth. It also adds the sonic capabilities of FM, modeling of natural sounds and advanced wavetable synthesis... latter can be learned & used quickly with Zebralette, which is an included mini-Zebra
This list is probably not comprehensive, but as a result of a major overhaul of the u-he plugin engine and of a lot of effort put into improving the user experience,
* factory presets were replaced with all new bank by Howard Scarr
* it's now compatible to MacOS X 10.5 Leopard
* presets load way faster
* user interface opens almost instantly
* a "compact install" for Muse Receptor compatibility was added to Windows installer
* a factory bank of oscillator module presets was added (also by Howard Scarr)
* gui consistency was improved (i.e. renamed some parameters, too long texts get shortened to fit)
* that infamous MSEG bug is fixed (single trigger MSEG may have caused deadlock)
* the Preset Manager remembers name & location of loaded patch, saved with song
* the editor window opens in the state where you last closed it (doesn't/can't save with song though)
* global parameters such as FX Returns are available in modulation matrix
* smoother ModWheel, Breath Controller, Expression and PitchBend
* speaking of PitchBend, ranges can be set to 0 now to free the Wheel for other tasks
* MidiLearn now requires a conscious decision for a menu entry - preventing users from accidentally Teaching a parameter
* Preset scripting was improved so that 3rd party waveform converters are fully supported (still no decent documentation for scripting though)
* a bug in the reverb diffusion on SSE2 machines got wiped out - if that changes your sound, set "D-Feedb" to 0.00
* the Preset Manager can now be used to create new folders and refresh the directory listing (right/ctrl-click)
* .h2p is now default patch format - set to native to save patches for use within host applications (usually not necessary)
* text rendering quality on Windows was improved
* there's no more need for Microsoft Runtime Libraries on Windows (finally!)
* one can now import patches made with the Computer Music edition of Zebra aka ZebraCM
* number of voices can be set to 0 in an Arpeggiator step, making this step a "skip"
* and more...

Trend sees some colleges replace student loans with more robust scholarship and grant funding
The Ivy League's Dartmouth College plans to join the list of schools that have eliminated federal student loans and replaced them with more funding for scholarships and grants. The school's loan-free initiative will receive $80 million from endowment fundraising efforts.
Dartmouth's leadership heralds the move to no-loan financial aid as a victory for students, especially aspiring Dartmouth scholars from middle-class and lower-income backgrounds.
"Every deserving student will have the opportunity to enjoy — and excel in — the full Dartmouth experience," President Phil Hanlon said in a statement.
Supporters point to the benefits of no-loan programs, which include increasing opportunities for students from lower-income families and, no less important, decreasing student debt. So what is "no-loan financial aid" exactly, and what impact does it have on the rising cost of a college education?
Facts and figures about no-loan colleges
- The wave of no-loan aid packages started in 2001 with Princeton University. The school became the first to do away with student loans in favor of grants and scholarships to meet demonstrated financial need.
- The list of no-loan colleges currently numbers more than 70, thanks in part to a large spike that began after the 2007-2008 academic year. At that time, several schools with endowments of $500 million or more faced questions from the U.S. Senate Finance Committee over their affordability. Committee members went so far as to threaten the schools' federal tax exemption status.
- No-loan aid packages come in two types: one that specifically benefits students from lower-income families and one open to all students eligible for financial aid regardless of family income. The ratio of "No Loans for Low Income" to "No Loans for Everyone" packages is nearly 4 to 1.
"The prospect of a degree from a top-notch school and no student loan debt is the holy grail of college education."
Greg McBride – Chief Financial Analyst, Bankrate.com
A few questions and qualifications
Americans collectively owe about $1.4 trillion in student loan debt, so it seems obvious that reducing student loans while increasing scholarships and grants would provide a financial boon. However, critics of no-loan financial aid have pointed out that much of the benefit goes to students who may need it less than others.
Many of the no-loan schools are elite public and private universities. (Dartmouth and Princeton are just two of the Ivy League members that offer no-loan financial aid.) A degree from a prestigious school would likely help a graduate land a high-paying job, making the repayment of student loans less burdensome.
Also, a no-loans policy doesn't necessarily translate to a cost-free college education. For example:
- If the family's actual ability to pay turns out to be less than the demonstrated financial need, a student may have to borrow from a lender anyway to make up the shortfall. (The policies don't actually prohibit taking out student loans.)
- Most colleges require parental and student contributions. A scholarship or grant recipient may have to contribute summer earnings or take a work-study job.
The effect on costs is unclear, at least for now
Without a doubt, students who receive generous no-loan financial aid packages rack up significantly less debt than their counterparts who take out large student loans. However, what effect do no-loan policies have on tuition and other actual costs?
The impact is hard to measure since (a) no-loan financial aid is relatively new and (b) it's available only at a tiny number of schools. Nevertheless, one school of thought says that minimizing the role of federal loans could help bring the rising cost of college in line.
"An often-overlooked factor in the steadily increasing costs of attending college is the blank check that schools know is awaiting through the federal direct student loan program," says Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate.com "Nothing will put the kibosh on rising tuition costs like further limiting what students and their families are able to borrow."
Should you apply to a no-loans college?
As noted earlier, many of the colleges with no-loans financial aid are elite-level schools that can afford to be highly selective about admissions.
"No-loan policies aren't widely offered enough that prospective students can realistically count on this as a college funding strategy," says McBride. "They tend toward schools that have sufficiently large endowments or others that have a large pool of grant and scholarship funds available."
Students and families who see these schools as too much of a longshot can feel free to continue searching for scholarships and shopping for student loans. Still, never forget the old saying: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
"If your wish list contains a prestigious school that offers a no-loan program, go ahead and apply," says McBride. "The prospect of a degree from a top-notch school and no student loan debt is the holy grail of college education."

Liberty between heaven and earth...
Overlooking Lake Como and occupying the site of a former medieval watchtower, Villa Peduzzi commands one of the finest views in Europe. The liberty style villa, built in 1909, has been fully restored to exceptional standards, offering 1.230 sqm of living space.
The space includes: 8 bedrooms some with en suite bathrooms, a media room (which can be prepared as 9th bedroom), spacious living room, dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, office space, a roof terrace with an outdoor fireplace and wet bar ideal for entertaining.
There is an exercise room with key equipment to work out. You can unwind in the pool house that is equipped with a separate kitchen and an entertainment area. In every corner Villa Peduzzi provides beauty and comfort in a quiet and secluded oasis.
Villa Peduzzi comfortably sleeps 14 people although additional children's beds are also available on request. The villa is laid out on three floors. An elevator links the three main floors and the caretakers apartment and laundry in the basement.
The views from south facing Villa Peduzzi are truly stunning: blue lake and green mountain vistas, rounded off with glorious golden sunsets. These can be enjoyed from the balconies off every bedroom, the villa's main surround terrace and the extraordinary pool house with its green roof and infinity pool.
The pretty perched mountain village of Pigra is only 300 metres away and the popular lakeside village of Argegno can be reached within 4 minutes from the cable car station located 500 metres from the villa gates.
Pigra has a couple of restaurants and is a perfect base for hiking and mountain biking. Argegno provides a wide range of restaurants, the villa's own private boat mooring and a scheduled river taxi service, ideal for exploring all that Lake Como has to offer.
Villa Peduzzi is located just 75 minutes drive from Milan Malpensa International Airport and 60 minutes from Lugano International Airport.

Many small towns and villages surround Lake Como. They are quaint and beautiful and it's worthwhile exploring them. If you spend the mornings on the west side and the afternoons on the east side of the lake, you will always stay in the sun.
Steamers, boats, car ferries and buses serve all the main towns on Lake Como. A ferry around the heart of Lake Como (between the key towns of Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio and Cadenabbia) is a must. The most popular of the stops remains Bellagio.
Bellagio - known as the pearl of the lake is a beautiful little town in a picture-perfect location on the promontory where Lake Como separates into two branches. The town is historic and charming, with a waterfront promenades, stately hotels and two gardens open to the public: Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melzi. Bellagio's tourist information offices are by the ferry jetty and in Piazza della Chiesa.
Menaggio is located on the western shore of Lake Como, and has small stretches of shingle beach. From Menaggio you can travel to Lake Lugano or embark on mountain hikes. The town is a useful base for exploring Lake Como; with good bus and ferry connections.
The fishing village of Varenna has picturesque narrow alleyways and streets below a castle and a lakeside walking path. Varenna is a peaceful resort, smaller than Bellagio and also very beautiful. You can admire views from the Castello di Vezio or simply relax by the lakeside.
In Tremezzo visit Villa Carlotta - a villa and botanical garden. The villa is today a museum, whose art collection includes works by Canova, Thorvaldsen, Migliara and Hayez in addition to pieces of furniture from the time of the various owners.
The walled town of Como is a lively and pleasant town with an appealing historical centre and a scenic location at the southern end of the east branch of Lake Como. The impressive cathedral (Duomo), like most in Italy, was built and added to over a period of centuries, so you can admire Gothic and Renaissance features including some fine tapestries and paintings. The town's earlier cathedral (built in the tenth century), San Fedele, is another fine sight, as are the tall nine-hundred-year-old gateway, Porta Vittoria, and the Romanesque church Sant'Abbondio. The town's art gallery (Pinacoteca) is also worth a visit. For a short trip out of town, take the funicular up to the top of the hill above Como, where you can enjoy spectacular views.
Lake Como and the region is a shopper's paradise. Around Como there are many small shops and boutiques, and in the larger towns you will find a great range of boutiques, designer stores and department stores. Wherever you are you are never far from great shopping.
Como is an interesting place to shop because of its local flavor. There are very elegant stores in Como that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Some of the world's greatest designers are found in Como. Perhaps the nicest discount silk store (Mantero VIII) is found on the outskirts of Como.
Como is only a few minutes' drive from the Swiss border and from Lake Lugano. Cross the border into Switzerland and visit Foxtown Factory Stores, a temple of luxury and elegance with 3 km of shop windows, where 160 stores. The world famous mall that has every imaginable brand name store (Armani, Gucci, Prada, Loro Piano, Yves St. Laurent, Ferragamo, Versace, Missoni, Bally, Bruno Magli, Dolce and Gabbana, Cerrutti……to literally name only a few) at discounted prices. The mall sells last year's fashions at prices that seem a third of what can be found in Milan.
Then of course there is Milan. Milan is a short train-ride away for those in search of some city life. Milan has been crowned the fashion capital of the world thanks to designers such as Versace, Prada and Armani. Via Monte Napoleone and Via della Spiga with its designer showrooms and boutiques are two of the most elegant, if expensive, shopping streets in Europe. Milan also has sections of town dedicated to antiques, art and house supplies.
In Milan is to see Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper. In the heart of Milan is the rose-colored marble Gothic Duomo. Not far from the Duomo is the world's most famous opera house - La Scala. Throughout the city are symbols of Milan's illustrious past including the 16 Corinthian-style columns from early Roman settlements. These are placed just outside the 4th century Basilica di San Lorenzo. Also impressive is the Sforza Castle and Museum of Ancient Art. St. Ambrose's Basilica and Museum is interesting as the Basilica was founded in the 4th century by the Bishop Ambrose who baptized St. Augustine here.
Lake Como boasts some of the very finest Italian cuisine, and is home to a number of world-class restaurants. Check out the back streets and old lakeside towns to find some of the less well known but excellent restaurants.
Lake Como boat hire is possibly the finest way to experience the Lake in its full splendour. One has not seen Lake Como if it hasn't been experienced from the water. There are numerous touring companies that can take large or small groups for tours of the lake which can include a refreshing swim in the lake. A wonderful day is to take the morning to explore the lake by boat. Stop for a long lunch at the Locanda dell' Isola Comacina and return to the Villa by late afternoon.
Outdoor Activities: biking, mountain biking, hiking, boating, paragliding and windsurfing.
There are numerous hikes and walking trails in and around Lake Como. Around the lake, through the woodlands and up through the hills and mountains offer an enormous variety of hiking possibilities, from easy walks for families to the more difficult for skilled hikers.
For water sports lovers it is possible to spend entire days sailing or kayaking, windsurfing and motor boating, water skiing and canoeing, wakeboarding and kitesurfing. In Como there is even a hydroplane piloting school.
Experience regattas with the Cannottieri Moltrasio Yacht Club.
Lake Como can also be dicovered by bicycle. Scenic roads, and alternative routes to those followed by the main traffic and some real cycle paths offer the visitor an alternative way of visiting various parts of the lake.
Lake Como has also several golf courses which can be easily reached by car.
Please note: the Google Maps are only approximative, the exact address will be given after finalized booking.

This is particularly useful when wishing to access some of the lovely lakeside restaurants. The Axopar 28 Brabus boat offers both speed and comfort and so is a perfect boat for water sports or simply enjoying an afternoon relaxing on the lake. Tomas is a qualified boat captain and will be happy to be your skipper. Sunscreen, a picnic hamper and a few bottles of something bubbly is all you need.

I've seen some happy helpers at The Country Cupboard recently. These helpers bring joy whenever they arrive. Part of the joy is the little grins on their faces. I think those grins come from the little snacks and treats they know they will get if they ask. Maybe the grins come from being helpers, too. Whatever it is, may you have some little grinning "stars" in your life to brighten your day.
We're gearing up for a sweet Memorial Day. Gummi Stars, Gummi Freedom Bears, Red, White and Blue Sprinkles or Patriotic Pretzels will make your holiday more special. Stop by to see our selection.
Another "Mama" Product
For those "Trim Healthy Mama's" out there, we now carry Golden Flax Meal. What that means is you can make your own "Baking Blend" by mixing Golden Flax Meal, Coconut Flour and Almond Flour. All of these products are available at The Country Cupboard.
If you are not a THM and are baking with flax meal, Golden Flax Meal is not as dense and therefore makes your baked item "fluffier". The nutrition is the same no matter if you use Brown or Golden.
No Bake Cherry Swiss Rolls Cake
Doesn't this look amazing? It's amazingly easy too!
- Spread 3 Tablespoons of Cool Whip on the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Spray the ring with non-stick spray and place parchment paper on the sides. Lock the bottom and sides of the pan together.
- Cut each individual Swiss Roll into 6 slices. Place some of the Swiss Rolls standing up along the bottom of the pan, so that the frosting center is along the outside rim of the pan. Fill in the bottom of the pan with more rolls laying flat to create a "crust".
- Beat the cream cheese until creamy. Add the powdered sugar, and beat it again until it is smooth.
- Add 1 cup cherry pie filling to the mixture and beat it again until it is mixed together and the cherries are broken apart.
- Fold in 2 ½ cups of the Cool Whip gently.
- Spoon half of the mousse into the prepared pan and spread it out.
- Place another ring of Swiss Rolls on the outside of the pan standing up along the rim, and then fill in the center with a layer of rolls laying down.
- Spread the remaining mousse on top, and then place a layer of Swiss Rolls laying flat over the entire top.
- Spread 1 cup Cool Whip over the top of everything. Refrigerate a few hours or until set up.
- Swirl the remaining Cool Whip around the top of the cake. Fill the center with the remaining pie filling. Top every other swirl with the leftover Swiss Roll circles.
*Did you know we have pie filling in easy to squeeze tubes? You can find cherry, red or black raspberry, apricot, strawberry, lemon and cream cheese flavors.
*New Item: Powdered Whipped Topping – mix together 1/2 c. milk and 1/2 c. mix. Whip on high until soft peaks form. A quick, easy way for whipped topping.

Couple of days ago, I asked Odeckers on what I should get at a British pub in Santa Monica, CA. I am happy to report that the establishment was indeed run by an English proprietress, and that the food was delicious.
Of course, I can't vouch for authenticity, but I can vouch for its tastiness.
I started with their clam chowder, which was very tasty. No fishy smell or taste. Just clam chowder done right. Not sure if there is clam chowder in England, however.
Then came the Scotch Egg, which is a boiled egg covered with sausage meat and fried. It wasn't particularly flavorful. I didn't really know what to make of it. They did give us some mustard, which was very horseradish-y, which was interesting.
But it was my pie that was the star of the night. I ordered the Steak, Guinness, and Mushroom Pie, which was one of the most filling, hearty meals I've ever had. I was super full, and short $36 at the end, but it was all worth it.
Thank you, Odeck, for a wonderful insight into British cuisine.
Also, I bought cans of Lilt and bags of crisps, one of which is "Pork Sausage and English Mustard". Can't wait to see how that tastes. *It was very horseradish-y, which was good!

Bed, Bath & Beyond to buy Cost Plus
Eve Mitchell / Contra Costa Times
Oakland-based Cost Plus, a retail chain that got its start more than 50 years ago selling rattan furniture and baskets from a San Francisco pier, on Wednesday was acquired by Bed Bath & Beyond for about $500 million in cash.
All Cost Plus stores will remain open, and no layoffs are expected as a result of the sale, Cost Plus said in a letter to employees Wednesday. The name also will remain the same.
The deal will help improve Bed, Bath & Beyond's bottom line while leading to more Cost Plus store openings, said Anthony Chukumba, a senior research analyst at BB&T Capital Markets.
"(Cost Plus) has managed a multiyear turnaround," he said. "And that's something that's very attractive for Bed, Bath & Beyond."
News of the deal sent Cost Plus stock to its highest price since August 2005, closing Wednesday at $21.93. Under terms of the sale, Bed Bath & Beyond will pay $22 for each Cost Plus share, which amounts to a 22 percent premium over the closing stock price of $17.99 on Tuesday.
The deal, which has been approved by the board of directors of both companies, is expected to close by late August.
Cost Plus has long been a fixture in Oakland and the Bay Area. The first store opened in 1958 in the Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco. The flagship store, which is still there, opened not long after company founder William Amthor, a San Francisco furniture store owner who loved to travel, started selling unique items he founds on his trips off a city pier.
Over the past two years, customer spending and sales volume has climbed as Cost Plus worked to attract more customers who are looking for value when they shop. For fiscal year 2011, which ended Jan. 28, Cost Plus posted $946 million in net sales, a 5.2 percent increase from the previous year.
Jeff Green, a Phoenix-based retail marketing consultant, said the deal makes sense because the two retailers are complementary.
"They are not competitors. Bed, Bath & Beyond focuses on bath and kitchen while Cost Plus has very value-oriented specialty products and furthermore their price points are actually a bit different," he said.

ESQUIMALT, B.C. – The Kerry Park Islanders proved to everyone on Sunday afternoon that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Jason Pichette stopped 34 shots in his first start of the season and Brandon Wilson scored twice as Kerry Park downed the Victoria Cougars 4-1 at the Archie Browning Sports Centre.
Prior to the start of the season, the Islanders were picked by several pundits to win their first division title since 2009/10.
Chock full of returning players, Kerry Park led 2-0 after one period and 3-0 after two.
"We had a bad start in today's game. Not overly focused," Cougars head coach Suneil Karod said. "Kerry Park is a good team. They're an older team that is virtually the same team from last season. We're young with only five returnees."
Braydon Nelson got the Islanders (3-1-0-0) off to the best possible start by scoring the game's opening goal 25 seconds in. From the top of the blue paint, the former Alberni Valley Bulldogs forward whacked the puck past Patrick Ostermann for his first goal of the season.
Kerry Park built on that momentum as Wilson scored a shorthanded tally at 2:27. After being hauled down from behind by William Thompson on a breakaway, Wilson regained his footing and fooled Ostermann with a backhander.
Despite some close chances from both teams, there was no scoring until the 19:48 mark of the second period. Wilson scored his second of the afternoon and his third goal of the season after banging home his own rebound with 11.8 seconds remaining.
After the play, Scott Smith received an automatic game misconduct for checking Cougars' leading scorer Darwin Lakoduk into the end boards from behind.
Victoria (3-1-0-0) finally got on the board at 10:36 of the third period. In on the fore check, Sean Patten stripped Joe Lamoureux of the puck, wheeled out front, and slid a backhander behind Pichette.
But the comeback was short-lived.
Less than two minutes later, Kayden Peck fed a centering pass out front to Jarret Malloch who collected the puck and beat Ostermann.
"Kerry Park came out with a purpose today and we didn't. They played as a team and we didn't. They were the better team tonight," Karod said.
Ostermann took the loss after allowing four goals on 42 shots.
The Cougars went 0-for-7 on the power play. Kerry Park finished 0-for-4.
Next game for Victoria is Thursday, September 21 against the Westshore Wolves. Game time at the Archie Browning Sports Centre, located at 1151 Esquimalt Road, is 7:00 p.m.
1st star, Jason Pichette (Saves: 34, Save Percentage: .971)
2nd star, Brandon Wilson (Goals: 2, Assists: 0)
3rd star, Jarret Malloch (Goals: 1, Assists: 0)

"Biomimicry (from bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is a new discipline that studies nature's best ideas and then imitates these designs and processes to solve human problems. Studying a leaf to invent a better solar cell is an example.
"The core idea is that nature, imaginative by necessity, has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with. Animals, plants, and microbes are the consummate engineers. They have found what works, what is appropriate, and most important, what lasts here on Earth. This is the real news of biomimicry: After 3.8 billion years of research and development, failures are fossils, and what surrounds us is the secret to survival."

"Genneva freeze not fair to investors, says Dr M".
Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad appeared today to defend gold trading firm Genneva Malaysia, and asked Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to lift the suspension of its assets.
He made his remarks today despite a recent explanation by Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Awang Adek Hussin in Parliament that Genneva's liabilities exceeded its assets and that showed the company was unable to pay returns to its investors.
"I don't know what is wrong with the Genneva thing, they claim that they aren't operating this pyramid scheme," Dr Mahathir told reporters after addressing the 3rd World Conference of Riba (usury) here.
"Investigate first because if you stop the transaction, people's money will be locked out and they cannot use, they cannot even get the gold ... They deserve fair treatment."
He also urged the authorities to regulate gold trading as he extolled the advantages of keeping and buying gold.
Genneva's gold, which was advertised as syariah-compliant gold, was launched in December 2010 by Dr Mahathir, and a number of its traders were spurred on by the former PM's recommendation.
To me, if it looks like a pyramid scheme, swims like a pyramid scheme, and quacks like a pyramid scheme, then it probably is a pyramid scheme.
Even if they use terms like "trader" instead of "investor", "consultant" instead of "agent", that doesn't change a thing, it is just using different words. Coupled with unrealistic high returns of 24% or even 36% per year, I am 99.9% sure that Genneva was indeed operating a pyramid scheme. But it seems that Dr. M. still isn't convinced.
Dr.M. wasn't the only high person who was somehow involved with Genneva, several others were also, it appears. Since Malaysia has the highest Power Distance Index value in the world people will more easily follow the advice of high ranking people. They should therefore be more careful than usually.
Another aspect is the media, where were they? They could easily have warned the public what was going on. I did some searches on The Star, and found the following references:
A golden investment that sounds too good to be true
July 13, 2009: As the title suggested, this article gives a warning. But it is not clear in its information.
"A Bank Negara official however told Starprobe that Genneva was not licensed. He could not comment further as no complaint had been lodged against the company". Bank Negara had already started an investigation into the Bestino Group, did it really need a complaint to swing into action?
Genneva sells gold and is not a ponzi scheme, says firm
July 15, 2009: "There may be Ponzi schemes in the market but it is obvious that Genneva is not one of them," group senior manager Tony Yao said". I am afraid that is not obvious to me. This article takes some sting out of the one published two days before.
Only one week later, on July 21, 2009 Bank Negara commenced investigations:
The Star did allow Genneva to sponsor its Penang Starwalk 2011 giving credibility to the company which it used on its website.
Glittering prospects in the gold trade
February 10, 2012: an extremely positive article (as the title suggests) about Genneva without a single warning.
"Incorporated in March 2007, the Genneva Group of companies was set up with the intention of bringing gold trading to a new level in Malaysia by breaking away from traditional models. The company's core mission is to encourage people to trade and increase their income capacity through gold. Today, the company is represented in nine states — Selangor, Perak, Johor, Sarawak, Penang, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Sabah, and Kedah — with seven branch and four representative offices. It also has a strong international presence within the Asian region through outlets in Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and the Philippines".
Genneva Syariah sponsors RM100,000 for Ipoh Starwalk 2012
Ipoh Starwalk 2012 has struck gold with Genneva Syariah making its debut as a platinum sponsor in the annual event.
Biggest turnout at Starwalk
Again, Genneva is a platinum sponsor and 3 proud pricewinners are shown:
There is always a moment that a pyramid scheme collapses, when too many customers want their money back. That seemed to have happened in Singapore, as reported by this blog on September 26, 2012.
Not surprisingly (but possibly rather late), authorities raided Genneva on October 2, 2012, both in Malaysia and Singapore.
But still The Star published two letters Genneva, a new age biz model and Genneva Malaysia has never failed its customers (which doesn't seem to be true, at least in Singapore) on October 5, 2012, after the raids. Both letters where highly supportive of Genneva, should The Star really have published those letters?
Everybody is hoping for a fast and transparent investigation by the authorities. But other questions also need to be asked. Why were so many high persons involved in this case? Should the press not have done some investigative research and reporting? And should the authorities not have acted more early? And why does Malaysia appear to be a magnet for these kinds of schemes?

Good Hotel Guide Review
We don't wish to blow our own trumpet, but we like to think the Guide played a small part in the runaway success of Wales's first contemporary art hotel. One of our top discoveries of 2019, the architect-owned and redesigned Edwardian hotel, built around a Georgian windmill, is set to add 20 new bedrooms by March 2020. It is 'pristine, immaculately furnished, in beautifully landscaped grounds', writes a trusted reader this year. 'They have thought of everything.' Spacious, chocolate-and-cream bedrooms are hypoallergenic (no dogs), with terrace or balcony, espresso machine, mini-fridge, bath, shower, aromatherapy toiletries. 'The bathroom was the best we've experienced.' The Tower Suite has a spiral staircase to the belvedere overlooking the St David's peninsula. Staff are 'attentive and welcoming'. Many of the paintings on display are by local street artists. Sous-chef Sam Owen has now stepped up as head chef, creating such dishes as malt-glazed halibut, scallop tortellini, pea, pancetta, from prime Welsh ingredients. 'The extensive breakfast menu' includes freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly baked pastries, home-made preserves, 'well-cooked' hot dishes. (Mary Coles, RC)

Religious and Ethnic Groups Paper Essay Example for Free
Religious and Ethnic Groups Paper Essay Mahayana Buddhism is considered to be a emanation or illusion of the highest power which is referred to as Buddha. They also believe that there has been many Buddhas on earth and in the whole universe. There are 3 bodies (forms) of Buddha: 1, Body of essence. The indescribable, impersonal absolute reality, or ultimate truth that is nirvana (infinite bliss). 2, Body of bliss or enjoyment, Buddha as divine, deity, formless, celestial spirit with saving power of grace, omnipotence. 3, body of transformation or emanation. An illusion or emanation in human form provided by the divine Buddha to guide humans to enlightenment. Anyone can achieve Buddha hood and those who choose this path to help others to become liberated are worshipped as gods or saints to some. Mahayana Buddhists believe that when you die, one becomes selflessness resulting in ultimate bliss known as the deathless state and doesnt believe in literal rebirth. They extinguish themselves from all worldly cravings, desires and attachments, through loving- kindness, compassion, charity, moral conduct, wisdom and meditation. Mahayana Buddhism deferrers from many religions. Christianity being one. Christians believe that there is only one god (not several) and there is life after death in heaven where all is good. Jesus is Gods son who was sent to earth by god to become human and live amongst us which was in human form. Hinduism is a dominate religion of the Indian subcontinent. When I think of Buddhism I think a foreign religion from another country but there in America and many other countries. As a matter of fact, Buddhism is one of the largest religions in the United States following Christianity, Judaism and nonreligious and close to being equal with Islam and Hinduism. Most Buddhism are Asian Americans. Its estimated there are around 1.2 million and 40% of them live is Southern California. The Mahayana Buddhist are not supposed to discriminate and usually they hold true to that if they are a TRUE Buddhist. Thats not to say that Americans dont discriminate against them. In February 2011 the Lao-Buddhist Association attempted to open a temple in Olathe Kansas but was denied. Residents said that the location was zoned for residential only. Christian churches are located in residential neighborhoods all over the country so Buddhists are saying its discrimination against their religion. Another instant of discrimination on them took place in Southern California. Buddhist wanted to put in a worship center but the government rejected it and said there isnt enough room but later built a mall there. The Buddhist people sued them saying it was discrimination on their religion. In America we have the right to express our religion but the government and prejudice people are making that amendment more and more difficult for some religions. Before I researched this religion, I knew nothing about it or the people. I know have a much better understanding what they believe in and how they live. They are a very peaceful and caring religion and people should be educated about them before they judge them. Part 2 Racial/ethnic groups: I chose Hispanic and Latino descend. Hispanics differ from white people in many different ways. Their way of life, language, and all around culture. They seem to get singled out by many races due to the overwhelming illegal entry into the states. It doesnt seem to matter it they are here illegally or not, they are all looked at the same by certain people. They are stereo typed all the time for stealing jobs and collecting welfare not to mention healthcare. A lot of them are working in the states under the table and sending the majority of their money earned back to their families in Mexico. The money made is not spent here to help benefit our economy. Hispanics are discriminated against often. I think Americans feel like they are paying a lot in taxes to help them financially when they should focus the help on legal Americans that actually pay their taxes. Employment is another reason behind the discrimination. In the landscape, nursery and construction trade, they seem to be taking over a lot of these positions because its cheaper labor but it still takes work away from legal Americans. After researching this topic I have learned that Hispanics have too many sources that are offered to them when legal Americans could use it more since we spend our money here in taxes. Comparing my racial and religious groups I can see how they are somewhat similar. Both struggle to find a place where they can be accepted. http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Buddhism/Galleries/What-Do-Mahayana-Buddhists-Believe.aspx?b=1p=10 http://prezi.com/onqasvrjg9ey/discrimination-against-buddhism/

The surest way to make fans of the Philadelphia Eagles cringe, to make them look as if they downed a handful of ghost peppers and chased it with hydrochloric acid, is to mention Ronde Barber, Ricky Manning Jr. or a Branch — Cliff or Deion, take your pick.
Go ahead and say Drew Pearson, Gary Anderson and Blair Walsh to hardened Minnesota Vikings supporters — we dare you.
Those names are synonymous with playoff misery for two franchises well acquainted with it.
No team, according to Pro Football Reference, has won more games in the Super Bowl era without capturing a championship than Minnesota (20). Second? The Eagles (16).
The Vikings and Eagles are the winningest playoff teams in the Super Bowl Era who have no won a Super Bowl pic.twitter.com/4VqaouhbIX— ProFootballReference (@pfref) January 15, 2018
The Vikings are 0-4 in Super Bowls, losing all by double-digit margins, an average of 15.3 points. Since appearing in its last Super Bowl, in 1977, Minnesota has lost five N.F.C. championship games, two in overtime, including one when Anderson, who had not missed a field-goal attempt all season, pulled a 38-yarder in the fourth quarter that would have given the Vikings, who were 15-1 in the regular season, a 10-point lead against the Atlanta Falcons with two minutes left and oh the pain.
The Eagles, aside from going 24 years between their only Super Bowl appearances, played in five conference championship games from 2001 to 2007 and won only one. They also lost a game in Chicago played in fog so thick that the teams could hardly see each other, which was fun.
Since postseason games cannot end in ties, either Philadelphia or Minnesota will advance to the Super Bowl with a victory on Sunday — at least we think so. But how will the other team lose?
In a way, perhaps, that rivals some of these excruciating playoff defeats:
■ 1975 season, N.F.C. divisional round vs. Dallas: Until Stefon Diggs's last-second 61-yard touchdown last Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, the term "Hail Mary" had a far more sinister connotation to Vikings fans. Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach helped introduce the term into the football vernacular by admitting that he said a Hail Mary, the Catholic prayer, after throwing a 50-yard touchdown pass to Drew Pearson with 24 seconds left at frozen Metropolitan Stadium. Pearson was contested by cornerback Nate Wright near the goal line but caught the ball anyway. To this day, Vikings fans contend that Pearson pushed off, because of course they do.
■ 1987 season, N.F.C. championship at Washington: In a strike-shortened season, the Vikings lost three games with replacement players but rebounded to finish 8-7. They swiped a playoff berth, then upset New Orleans and San Francisco on the road before playing the eventual champion, Washington, tough into the fourth quarter. Two fourth-quarter series inside the Washington 10-yard-line produced only a field goal, though what lingers is Darrin Nelson's inability to catch what would have been, in all likelihood, a game-tying touchdown pass on fourth down with less than a minute left.
■ 1998 season, N.F.C. championship vs. Atlanta: Imagine having one of the best offenses in N.F.L. history, one that set a record for points scored, and a kicker who had made all 35 of his field-goal attempts in the regular season — and then watching those two advantages slip away. It happened in Minneapolis, in the second half against Atlanta, when the Vikings, on the way to blowing a 13-point lead, scored 7 points after halftime, then watched Gary Anderson shank a 38-yarder. Naturally, the Falcons rallied, scoring a touchdown with 57 seconds left and winning in overtime when their own foreign-born kicker with a similar surname — Morten Andersen — drilled a field goal from, you guessed it, 38 yards.
■ 2009 season, N.F.C. championship at New Orleans: Ah, the game that Brett Favre nearly won but lost but could have won but lost but should have won but lost, with what he thought was a broken ankle. Driving late, with the score tied, 28-28, the Vikings were penalized on third-and-10 at the New Orleans 33 for having too many men on the field, pushing them to the fringe of field-goal range. On the next play, Favre, who had led two second-half comebacks, threw an interception, denying Minnesota a chance to kick the winning field goal. He never touched the ball again. The Saints won the coin toss, then the game, on a 40-yard field goal by Garrett Hartley, and then, two weeks later, the Super Bowl.
■ 2015 season, N.F.C. divisional round vs. Seattle: The temperature was minus-6 at game time, with a wind chill of minus-25, and somehow it felt colder afterward. Trailing, 10-9, late in the fourth quarter, Minnesota drove to the Seattle 9, setting up a 27-yard field-goal attempt with 22 seconds left by Blair Walsh, who had led the N.F.L. with 34 field goals — and had made all three attempts earlier in the game. When the ball was set on the ground by the holder, its lacing faced in — suboptimal for kicking — Walsh missed it left, same as Anderson 17 years earlier.
■ 1988 season, divisional round at Chicago: Just before halftime, a dense fog rolled in off Lake Michigan, rendering conditions somewhere between miserable and unplayable. The game went on, anyway, unfortunately for the Eagles, whose star quarterback, Randall Cunningham, couldn't throw deep because he couldn't see the receivers, who couldn't see him — and the Bears knew it. Of course, they also dropped one sure touchdown and had two others wiped out by penalties by Anthony Toney — and that was before the fog enveloped Soldier Field.
■ 1990 season, wild-card round vs. Washington: The Eagles had beaten Washington two months earlier by two touchdowns and were favored by 4.5 points. But after scoring the first 6 points, they gave up the last 20, their futility compounded by Ben Smith's 88-yard fumble return for a touchdown, which was nullified by instant replay. This defeat was painful enough, but the accumulation of playoff losses — Philadelphia's third in three postseasons, wasting an excellent defense under Buddy Ryan, and to hated Washington, no less — felt crippling.
■ 2002 season, N.F.C. championship vs. Tampa Bay: Veterans Stadium, that beloved dump, was hosting its final game, and there was no way the Eagles could lose, not in the cold to the Buccaneers, who were 1-21 in games held in temperatures below 40 degrees, and especially not after Duce Staley scored on a 20-yard run 52 seconds in. Except they did lose, misplaying Joe Jurevicius's short slant into a 71-yard pass play and watching he who shall not be named (Ronde Barber) return an interception 92 yards for a touchdown, the final points in a 27-10 win. The worst loss in Eagles history, and this is not up for debate.
■ 2003 season, N.F.C. championship vs. Carolina: Lincoln Financial Field, that sparkling new stadium, was hosting its first N.F.C. championship, and there was no way the Eagles could lose, not after dropping the previous two conference title games, and certainly not to the Panthers. Except they did lose, as Donovan McNabb threw three interceptions in four possessions, all to a rookie cornerback named Ricky Manning Jr., and missed the final two drives of a 14-3 loss with a rib injury. Not that it would have mattered.
■ 1980 and 2004 seasons, Super Bowls vs. Oakland and New England: Lumping these defeats into one category isn't cheating — it's inventive. The Eagles lost their first Super Bowl, to Oakland, in no small part because of Cliff Branch, who caught two touchdowns. The Eagles lost their next Super Bowl, to New England, in no small part because of Deion Branch (no relation), who was selected as the game's most valuable player. He caught 11 passes — five on a critical third-quarter touchdown drive — for 133 yards. The Eagles also lost because of horrible fourth-quarter clock management, eschewing a no-huddle offense on a 13-play touchdown drive while trailing by 24-14, and Eagles fans are not bitter about that, no way, not at all.

California Retreat
Last week I went to a meditation retreat in California. The nice thing about traveling to the west coast from Ohio is that it is easy to wake up early and for this night owl the morning light is quite a treat. Every morning before breakfast I took a nice stroll with my camera. The first day I didn't go very far because I was obsessed by how the sun was hitting the weeds along the road. I sat down to photograph the pineapple weed below and then noticed the clover next to me. In every direction I looked, the light was hitting every thing in the most spectacular way!
I thought about doing a whole post just about the pineapple weed above and took dozens of photos of it. I love the way the light illuminated the conical lime green orbs.
At least once a day I took the dirt road in the photo above and ended up at the oak tree below. One day I tried to have a rest against it and ants crawled all over me. I had to strip down to my skivvies and give everything a good shake. Luckily it was just me and the wild turkeys doing our dance.
I was also quite impressed by the size and beauty of pine cones along the road. And I felt lucky every time I found a "star" dandelion like the one below.
I also have to mention the amazing colors of the muscle-red wood and peeling bark of the manzanita tree above. Every one of the manzanitas had such character and strength - maybe from living in such a dry environment.
My friend Jodi and I also found lots of oak galls on our walks. They reminded me of the Japanese art form of creating shiny balls of earth and water called Dorodango (check it out it is awesome!), although I prefer the cracked, earthy appearance of the galls. If I made mud balls I would want them to look like this.
After a week of soaking in all this beauty and sitting in meditation I realized that the mystery both surrounds us and lies within us. Whether you prefer looking out or in, it doesn't matter...but look at it...notice it...for it permeates everything... everywhere... at all times... if we only have eyes to see it.
"After chopping through dense salal and hacking off ironwood bushes for an hour or so, I stopped, exhausted. I found myself standing motionless, intensely aware of all of the life around me, the breathing moss, the chattering birds, the living earth. I was as much a part of the woods as any millipede or cedar tree. At that moment, too, I was aware of the mystery." -Margaret D. McGee
"Existence is a mystery. We aren't here to solve the mystery...we are only here to see that we are the mystery." - Matt Kahn

John O. Brennan, the former director of the C.I.A., has been named a distinguished fellow for global security at the Fordham University School of Law's Center on National Security.
Mr. Brennan, who led the agency from 2013 until January, will take over the new position on Tuesday, participating in the nonpartisan center's efforts to draw public attention to issues involving national security, foreign policy, governance and the rule of law.
Mr. Brennan said he would be focusing on solutions to some of the country's foreign policy quandaries, including the crisis with North Korea.
"There is no easy or fast solution, but we cannot allow Kim Jong-un to continue on the path he is on," Mr. Brennan said in an interview.
Mr. Brennan said that he supported the continued strengthening of American military capabilities as well as increasing economic sanctions — including against Chinese banks that work with North Korea. He noted that diplomacy had worked when the United States reached a deal with Iran over its nuclear program, and diplomacy could work again with North Korea.
At Fordham, Mr. Brennan said that he would also mentor students who are interested in government service and national security. He earned his undergraduate degree, in political science, at Fordham in 1977.
"I used to take the bus from my home in New Jersey then two subway transfers to the Bronx to go to school," he said. "I wanted to give back to Fordham because I felt my time there was so important to me."
Experts who have previously spent time as fellows at the Center on National Security include the terrorism expert Peter Bergen, the New Yorker writer Lawrence Wright, and the former Pentagon official Michael Sheehan.
But Karen J. Greenberg, the founding director of the center, said that Mr. Brennan "will be the first fellow with this title."
Mr. Brennan has not kept a low profile since his departure from the C.I.A. earlier this year.
In May, he testified before the House Intelligence Committee, saying that he became concerned in 2016 about efforts by the Russian government to influence members of Donald J. Trump's presidential campaign.
Mr. Brennan told the committee that he was aware of intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and people involved in the Trump campaign and said he had been concerned "because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals."

Just yesterday at the beach an adolescent male ridgeback stole my dog's ball and wouldn't let it go. He kept running farther away while chewing on it vigorously. That kind of ruins my game with my dog,to say nothing of how fast some animals can ruin a good ball. Then too dogs sometimes get into a scrap over something like stealing a toy. I figured these two dogs combined weighed about 130 lbs. and my bitch was shadowing him pretty closely, so forestalling any escalation seemed a good idea.
When I finally got close enough to the ridgeback to be able to make a move, I yelled "DROP IT!" which worked, slightly to my surprise. Of course he went right for it again, which is why I wear stout boots for dog walks. I stepped on the ball and said "LEAVE IT!" and "OFF!" while crowding him off the spot.
Mind you this can be risky; I've stepped away from a dog or two if they seemed especially determined. I don't relish my toes as a chew toy. I'd never met this dog before, and particularly being young and rambunctious, I couldn't be not entirely sure he knew or would respond to common commands. By the same token I didn't think he'd be overly dominant yet.
I believe that a dominant tone of voice is really the key to grabbing control anyway. In most circumstances, when immediate attention is required, from either man or beast, a strongly projected"YO!" seems to be universally effective in establishing one's presence.
What reminded me of yesterday's experience was an email that arrived this morning with a similar theme (a nice synchronicity!) In it was a story about a man who was attacked by a dog. He retreated behind a car and shouted "SIT", which worked! Just about every dog knows that word, unless it's been taught in German or Spanish or Vietnamese, etc., but even then it's a word they might very well have heard and recognize.
The point is, use of a common command in a strong voice can be a valuable trick. Pitching a hand up high over a dog's head (or towards one further away) reinforces this with body language; as a dog's nose goes up, the other end tends to go down.
There are similar psychological tricks in fighting. For instance, grapplers learn to release holds when their training partner taps out. On the street, this could aid an escape. The better response, from the grappler's point of view, would be to stop increasing pressure or ease back a bit, but not to relinquish control unconsciously.
The idea is to control direction of attention. NLP is useful because it teaches modalities of consciousness. Applied Kinesiology or similar body therapies are good for learning pressure and release points. Lead the mind, the body follows. Lead the body, the mind pays attention.

That is the name that Commissioners picked for the new park on Coast Guard Road. The dedication for this park will be held on April 8 at 10 AM when it will be ready for limited use. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend the opening ceremony. The Town is seeking additional grant funds to complete the park over the next couple of years.
The park is approximately 41 acres and was purchased by the town last spring with the help of a grant from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund. A roadway to the sound, several walking trails, and some parking areas have been cleared. The clearing work was done by the North Carolina Department of Corrections - Newport. Alesia Sanderson, Emerald Isle Director of Parks and Recreation, and Sgt. Barlowe and Sgt. Howell from the Department of Corrections deserve a lot of thanks for organizing the work. It goes without saying that we also thank the men that actually did the work.
As you can see from these pictures, the park looks very nice (That is Alesia in the picture). Stop by and take a stroll when you have time.

Responding to the G20 agreement announced this afternoon, Grahame Smith, Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) General Secretary said:
"The deal contains some very welcome measures but is, as a whole, insufficient to meet the challenges facing the global economy.
"The additional finance for the IMF is welcome; particularly given that the organisation appears to be turning against the orthodoxies that have driven its activity in the recent past. It is however vital that support for struggling countries is free from conditionality based on free market dogma.
"Action against tax havens and commitments to regulate bonuses and the shadow banking sector signal a welcome and long overdue change in direction.
"However, the failure to agree a co-ordinated global stimulus package is deeply disappointing. Given the pace of decline in the UK economy, it is crucial that a further domestic stimulus is introduced as part of Budget 2009".
The STUC will publish its 2009 Budget Submission on Friday

I should save some of these Christmas photos for Brenda's Photo Challenge this Saturday because the theme is holiday decorating.
These lights are draped above the street and in the tree tops, so everywhere you look there are lights on this little street!
These are the lights on the palm trees.
So just like Sas in this photo, I am once again all worn out and ready for bed. LOL I will catch up with everyone soon!

Sometimes we see a cloud that's dragonish;
A vapour sometime like a bear or lion,
A tower'd citadel, a pendent rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory
With trees upon't, that nod unto the world,
And mock our eyes with air…
~William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra, c. 1606 [IV, 14, Antony]
I love that no two cloud formations, since time began, have ever been the same. Each moment in time has created its own unique fingerprint. ~Keith Wynn, 2017
The sky, a perfect empty canvas, offers clouds nonetheless. They shift and drift and beg interpretation… such is the nature of art. ~Jeb Dickerson, 2009
Thick, threatening clouds, assembling soon,
Their dragon wings displayed;
Eclipsed the slow retiring moon,
And quenched the stars in shade.
~James Montgomery, "The Vigil of St. Mark," 1806
On the horizon a cloud of a peculiar shape may be seen banking itself up like a huge puff of steam. The thunder-cloud is a dense black, and forms overhead. If you watch it, you can see it growing like an army preparing for battle. ~William S. Walsh, "Lightning," A Handy Book of Curious Information, 1913
Thick clouds, shaped like piles of cannon balls, have slowly peered up from behind the horizon, and rolled themselves hither and thither, spreading and gathering as they went. ~Caroline M. Kirkland, "June Twenty-Ninth, Eighteen Fifty-Nine," 1859
The moon hung low in the sky like a yellow skull. From time to time a huge misshapen cloud stretched a long arm across and hid it. ~Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1890
Here stretched, the pleasant turf I press,
In luxury of idleness;
Sun-streaks, and glancing wings, and sky
Spotted with cloud-shapes, charm my eye…
~Alfred B. Street, "A Forest Walk," 1839
Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?…
Methinks it is like a weasel… Or like a whale.

September 4, 2018 – Unity Energy Corp. (UTY:TSX.V) and (UJN2 – Frankfurt) "Unity" or the "Company" is pleased to announce its intention to undertake the exploration of the Margurete Gold Project, in south-western British Columbia. The Margurete Gold Project covers 677ha of mineral claims, located in the Phillips Arm area, approximately 120 kilometers northwest of Vancouver in southwest British Columbia, in the Vancouver Mining Division. The Margurete Gold Project was last explored in 2015 with Project-wide prospecting, mapping and rock chip sampling run in parallel with a targeted pack-sack diamond drilling program. A short-hole, pack-sack, diamond drilling program was conducted on the project, utilizing a Shaw diamond drill (AQ sized core) with an effective penetration depth of approximately 12 metres.
The primary target at the Margurete Gold Project is the FB Zone, where Falconbridge encountered gold bearing mineralization at shallow depths. An initial exploration program was completed on the Margurete Project in 1986 by Falconbridge. This program consisted of geochemical surveys, ground-based geophysics and diamond drilling program, which was successful in identifying gold bearing veins, which are believed to be genetically related to the same mineralizing events responsible for the nearby Doretha Morton and Alexandria Gold mines.
The fall program is to consist of short-hole diamond drilling in the primary exploration corridor, which is on echelon with the historic Alexandria Mine, the Doratha Morton mine and the FB Zone.
The technical contents of this news release have been prepared under the supervision of Dr. Peter Born, P. Geo. Dr. Born is a Qualified Person, as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, and has approved this news release.
The Company has also accepted the resignation of Anita Algie as President, CEO and from the board of directors. The Company takes this opportunity to thank her for her efforts and to wish her success in future endeavours.
For more information, contact the Company at 604-681-0004 or visit www.unityenergycorp.com.
On Behalf of the Company,
Peter Born, Director

There are millions of outdated CCTV cameras systems on the market today. Many consumers wonder, when is it time to upgrade your CCTV System? This can be a difficult question for the average consumer. However here are a few basic things to consider as to when to Upgrade your CCTV System:
- Is the old camera system still working?
- How old is the current CCTV system?
- What is the resolution of your security cameras?
Is the Old Camera System still working?
The answer to this first question may seem obvious but you would be surprised how many camera systems out there don't even record any more. Many times the owner of the system doesn't realize that the DVR or NVR has actually long stopped recording. Its often only after a break in, theft or other incident that people realize there is an issue. Clearly, thats too late. One of the first things to go on a CCTV system is the hard drive. When this happens your monitor may still show your cameras but thats only the live view. In actuality, nothing has been recorded. If you aren't sure if your system still working right, contact a security professional near you to verify. For a small cost they may be able to get everything recording again or upgrade your CCTV System.
How old is the current CCTV system?
One easy way to know is it time to upgrade your CCTV camera system is to find out how old it is. Typically, a good quality professionally installed CCTV system will run for 5 to 10 years with the proper maintenance. If you've done no maintenance in over 3 years or if your system is over 10 years then its most likely time to replace it. Another reason to confirm how old your system is relates to how video technology has changed over the past 3 to 5 years. Newer systems are not just higher resolution, to allow for greater details on recorded events, but also much more user friendly. Do you spend hours searching for events and even longer trying to copy it? If so, its time to upgrade it. Can you record on motion? Can you see it on your smart phone? Do you get alerts on triggers? Can you zoom in and make out a face? If the answer to any of these questions is no then its likely time to upgrade your CCTV System
What is the resolution of your Security Cameras?
You need to know what the resolution of your camera system. If you phone the police to report a recorded event, they will ask. The reason is that many security camera systems that are still in use today are using old analog technology. Analog cameras, even the best, are no greater than 1/3 of a megapixel. Current camera systems are usually a minimum of HD (1080P), 2MP or higher. There are also many 3MP, 4MP and 5MP cameras available today that are the same price of analog cameras from 10 years ago. The difference between an analog camera (ie. 960h, 800TV Lines, etc.) and an HD 1080P system is significant. 1080P (2MP) is 5 to 6 times higher resolution than an analog system. Video quality differences are so significant that many police departments won't even look at an event recorded with an analog system. Canadian courts are starting to insist on high definition (1080P or higher) video in order for recorded events to be used as evidence.
Obviously there are other things to consider before deciding to upgrade your camera system? What is your security budget? What type of system do you have? Is your old system still supported by the manufacturer or installer? Does the app still work or is there one? Have the police suggested you upgrade your CCTV System? Are your old cameras going fuzzy? Can your old camera system still see at night? Is your DVR beeping constantly? Do cameras come on and off for no apparent reason.
For help or assistance with your existing system or to find out what it would cost to upgrade to something current, contact Spy Security & Supplies Inc. today.

Captain Sim 777-200LR
Does anyone know if the new Captain Sim 777-200LR works OK with FSAirlines? I'd hate to buy one at v$255 million and find out it doesn't work. Captain Sim currently is in "beta" release stage (0.9) with this airplane.
Re: Captain Sim 777-200LR
Looking into the aircraft.cfg file, there are no load stations other than the 2 pilots, so right now it is an empty airplane.
