Mobile GPS has improved A LOT over the last decade. Today's GPS applications provide us with accurate, up-to-date maps, restaurant and lodging suggestions, contact information, and so much more. Why then is the debate between smartphone apps and dedicated systems still ongoing? In this article, we will do our best to cover the pros and cons of both options and at the end, provide you with our best recommendation.
Pros of Smartphone GPS
Most of us at least once in our lives have had to use our smartphones to find a certain location. Utilizing the GPS system residing already on our phones can provide us with a plethora of benefits. Since your phone is constantly connected to a cellular network, your phone can provide you with up-to-date information on your destination. This means that if traffic is halted or detoured, it will inform you of it as it happens. 77 percent of smartphone users use navigation apps regularly. That's a good thing, as it provides valuable data that only helps to improve the accuracy of the application being used. In addition, cell phone GPS has the benefit of being able to be carried almost anywhere as well as be placed almost anywhere in your car.
Cons of Smartphone GPS
Although smartphone GPS does hold a tremendous amount of advantages to its dedicated system counterpart, all of those features can be shut down in an instant. What do we mean about the risk of a rapid shutdown? Smartphone GPS runs entirely on its respective network; thus, if that network experiences a crash due to the distance of a tower or a malfunction with the satellite, you are essentially cut off. No guided direction, no ability to call someone and ask them for directions. All you can do is sit and wait until the connection is restored. This can be especially dangerous if you are relying on your phone's GPS to guide yourself through thick woods or a nature trail.
Pros of Dedicated GPS
With all that said, let's now move on to the pros of a dedicated GPS system. Although much more expensive, a dedicated GPS system is considered the most reliable of the two. It does not need an independent entity such as cell coverage to keep its maintenance up constantly. In addition, they have a large enough display to where you will not have to squint at the screen and distract yourself from driving your vehicle. Speaking of displays, unlike the mobile app version, dedicated GPS systems hold a big advantage as not only are they more durable but allow you to add additional information for optimal accuracy. There is no doubt that dedicated GPS wins in the durability area.
Cons of Dedicated GPS
The cons of a dedicated GPS system are far and few between but they are often enough to detour people from going that route. One of the most obvious concerns about purchasing this version is that it's not convenient to carry. Most of these devices are bulky products that can easily increase the weight of your equipment. Another disadvantage is that a dedicated GPS needs to be updated manually and some additional maps or upgrades may not be free. In addition, they are not the best for traveling in the city. If you are looking for an everyday in-city GPS, then the much cheaper alternative mobile GPS may be your best bet.
What Wins?
Now we come to a decision, which one is better? Dedicated GPS or a smartphone app? Although a smartphone GPS app does run the risk of leaving you stranded with no direction, those blackouts are rare even in the smallest communities. However, even that rarity must be introduced into the decision-making process due to the peace of mind that you can get with a dedicated GPS system.
Now, let's talk price. Sure, new mobile phones come with a pretty hefty price tag, but they are not only used for GPS systems but other daily needs as well. Dedicated GPS system prices run between $80 to over $1,000 depending on the model you choose. This may not be the best financial decision for those not using their GPS for deep-woods hiking or other heavy use. So, what's our call? If we had to decide on one, we would go with a smartphone GPS app. Now, we came to this conclusion based on potential growth and actual time we would use it. Smartphone GPS apps are growing by leaps and bounds every year, both in their accuracy and features such as 3D viewing of terrain and buildings.
Although we may not have chosen your preferred option, it does not mean that one is clearly better than the other. It simply means that practicality and amount of use that it will see plays a big role in this decision. We highly recommend further educating yourself on both systems as this is only the tip of the iceberg that GPS apps and dedicated systems have to offer.

Founded in 1933 and headquartered in Sacramento, Golden 1 Credit Union is a homegrown California lender offering mortgage products to borrowers throughout the state.
As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, Golden 1 is owned by its members, not shareholders. This allows the credit union to offer benefits like free checking and lower interest rates, says Michael Popp, vice president of home loans at Golden 1 Credit Union.
Though it operates only in California, Golden 1 is hardly a small-time lender. With almost a million members and plans to fund over $800 million of mortgages in a single year, it's one of the largest credit unions in the nation.
Here's a closer look at the home loans and mortgage services Golden 1 Credit Union offers.
Golden 1 Credit Union mortgage products
Golden 1 Credit Union has a full menu of purchase and refinance mortgages, including 15- or 30-year fixed-rate loans and 5-, 7-, or 10-year adjustable-rate mortgages.
The credit union also offers jumbo loans up to $2 million, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. Golden 1 recently added FHA loans to its lineup. It doesn't offer VA or USDA loans at this time.
Golden 1 Credit Union mortgage rates and fees
Current rates and fees for Golden 1 home loans are available on its Mortgage Center Home page. Click "Personalized Quote" and answer a few questions to see APR, discount points, closing fees and estimated monthly payment for the mortgages that match your needs.
Click "view" to see more details on any quote result, like a breakdown of Golden 1 Credit Union's origination charges — a flat $475 for processing and $375 for underwriting — and discount point prices.
You also can expand the view to see fee descriptions and information on fees for third-party services like appraisal, credit report, flood certification and tax service, making it easy to estimate total costs. Additional tabs display tax estimates and disclosures.
How the Golden 1 mortgage process works
Most Golden 1 borrowers begin the mortgage process by meeting with a home loan advisor or calling a local branch, though around 30% start online, Popp says.
The online application form asks about your finances, employment and the property you want to buy. According to Golden 1, it should take less than 20 minutes to apply online. After submission, you'll find out if you're pre-qualified, and a home loan advisor will call you to answer questions and explain the benefits of taking the next step: preapproval.
Popp says the credit union will follow up even if you aren't immediately pre-qualified to identify potential errors and offer solutions. Borrowers who have limited or no credit history can submit proof of rent, utility or other recurring payments to bolster their applications, for example.
Golden 1 aims to be "the credit union for everybody" and doesn't want to "put good people into a bad situation," so its loan officers make sure borrowers can handle a mortgage without stretching their finances too thin, Popp says.
Golden 1 discount programs for home buyers
Managed in-house, the Buyer Advantage program credits members 25% of the Realtor commission toward closing costs when they work with a Golden 1 Preferred Realtor. The Golden 1 insurance division connects members to insurers willing to offer discounts on several types of policies, including homeowners insurance.
Neither program requires you to choose a Golden 1 mortgage, Popp says; they're benefits of credit union membership.

Dieters have a huge history of "trigger foods".
- It's the one food that has special power over you
- It's the one food when you see it you have to eat (a whole jar or package of)
- It's the one food that controls you
- It's the one food you reach for when you want to binge or overeat
If you truly want to become a "normal eater" there is a way to end your struggle with "trigger foods".
Here is the truth:
Every time you reach for that special food, what makes it special is the belief that you hold onto about that food. Not the food itself. It's not about what you eat or not eat but how you feel about what you eat.
The way to maintain your sanity and emotional calmness around food is to change the language you use around your trigger food.
If you think it is wrong to eat that "special food" you will want to control it as much as you can. And then you lose your willpower and you go crazy around that special food.
As long as you can be comfortable around what happens, when you decide eating peanut butter, cookie or chocolate is okay, it is not good or bad but it is neutral, you will want less.
When you restrict your "trigger food" you are building a momentum for a binge. When you let yourself to eat your "trigger food" you are building a momentum to be sane around it.
So many times I hear how much "trigger foods" can make dieters sad, upset, or depressed. We need to re-train our brain because "trigger foods" can only make us physically sick. The mental state is taught. The belief you are holding onto about your "trigger foods" is conditioning of your brain.
It can be a game changer for you to end your struggle with "trigger foods" if you can change the way you think about "trigger foods". If you can relinquish the judgment, the guilt, shame, feeling good or bad, feeling you did something wrong, feeling unlovable.
Here is how to practice to overcome "the trigger food mystery":
- Notice and catch your thoughts about food
- Don't judge yourself (There is no okay or not okay way of eating)
- Remember food is not something that makes you a good or a bad person.
- Food is not something that should make you mentally healthy or insane.
- Question to ask: What bias and judgment do you attach to your "trigger foods"?
- Challenge them. Ask yourself: Is your belief is factually reality? Or it is just made up in your mind.
You are not crazy..
You are not dysfunctional
You are not abnormal..
You were only conditioned, taught by society, culture and environment you live in about your thoughts regarding trigger food.
If you can switch your belief - FROM thinking something is inherently wrong and dysfunctional to eat your "trigger food"- TO it is okay to eat it, that's where the "addiction", the "hanging onto" trigger will end.
Hope this helps,

'Stranger Things' Season 3 Trailer: Eleven & The Rest Of The Kids Face Their Biggest Threat Yet — Watch
The wait is finally over, 'Stranger Things' fans. Netflix surprised everyone on March 20 by blessing us all with the first trailer for season 3.
It's been nearly two years since season 2 of Stranger Things dropped on Netflix, and fans are looking at a few more months before we get to return to Hawkins for season 3. However, fate has smiled upon those who long to know what happens next to Hopper, Eleven, Mike and the whole gang. After dropping some hints, Netflix revealed the first trailer on March 20.
Stranger Things season 3 picks up in the summer of 1985. The Stranger Things kids are growing up, and the thought of all the change that's ahead is pretty intimidating. "We're not kids anymore," Mike says in the trailer. The summer is going to introduce the kids (okay, TEENS) to the new Starcourt Mall, the Fun Fair, and Fourth of July celebrations. However, threats loom around every corner. In one brief scene showcased in the trailer, Eleven, Mike, Steve, and the rest of the crew are staring at someone or something inside the Starcourt Mall. "It is important to me that you feel safe," Hopper says in the trailer, likely to Eleven. "I want you to feel like this can still be your home." The trailer also gives us glimpses of new characters, including Cary Elwes's Mayor Kline and Maya Hawke's Robin.
INSANE! Now that's what we call a trailer — not like that tease that released last spring from the first table read of the season. Sure, was it awesome to see all the kids back together in the same room, and Hopper sporting his sexy 80's 'stache and grabbing a peek at all of the new characters coming to Hawkins next season? Yes. And hell, who are we kidding — whatever little crumb from the Upside Down we can get, we'll take. Especially since we have to wait until summer 2019 to see the season in full. Torture! Then again, as Charlie Heaton shared with us at a Pre-Emmy's party earlier this fall, it'll be more than worth the wait. "I was quite surprised in the direction their taking," Charlie shared to us EXCLUSIVELY. "You have some stranger things, which we know… Yeah, it feels almost like a different genre." Stranger Things season 3, consisting of 8 episodes, will drop on July 4, 2019.

Kagero Russian Battleship Marat Super Drawings in 3D
Shar2 posted a topic in Reference MaterialRussian Battleship Marat Kagero Super Drawings in 3D In the interwar period the battleship "Marat" was considered a symbol of the naval power of the Soviet Union. She was the most-described and filmed ship of the Land of the Soviets. In her 40-year service, rich in events, she survived four wars, but only in one of them - the civil war - she used her main guns in an engagement with enemy warships. In other conflicts, she served as a monitor rather than a battleship, shelling mainly land targets and carrying out counter-battery fire. At the end, she fell victim of the destructive power of German dive bombers. From that moment, she was a battleship only on paper. Mutilated and devoid of propulsion, she was still biting at the Germans from her remaining guns, and after the war, young pupils of the maritime craft appeared on board. Though it sounds absurd, even her reconstruction as a battleship was considered. This misconceived idea was not fortunately realised and the wreck - because it became one in the final period of service - finally went for scrap. This latest release from Kagero flows the now familiar format, and quite thick for one of these titles, with quite a long section on the history of the ship, covering ten pages, including:- From Petropavlovsk to Marat Marat's Modernisation From Marat to Petropavlovsk Another planned Modernisation Extraordinary Events World War Two 22 June 1941 The Last Years Of Service Listing of Marat's Commanding Officers during World War Two The next fifty nine pages are taken up with the wonderfully rendered 3D drawings that this series has become known for. Although with this release quite a bit of the lower hull is also shown, particularly the strange shape of the bow, rudder and propellers. The renderings show every part of the ship both in wide angle and close up which show some amazing detail not seen in other publications. With the ship covered there are also numerous drawings of individual bits of equipment, including some fabulous drawings of the secondary turrets, primary and secondary AA weapons, and the ships steam pinnaces. The book also includes a single A1 sheet with five views of the ship in 1:250. On the reverse there are detailed drawings of the secondary armament turrets, rangefinders, 37mm AA guns, machine guns, main turrets and ships boats in scales ranging from 1:50 to 1:200. Conclusion As we've come to know what to expect from this series I can't really say much more, other than if you're a maritime fan you really should have them all in your reference library. For the modeller you have the superb Zvezda 1:350 kit which this title will be a great resource for your build.. Review sample courtesy of

Constance Zimmer believes that bringing in a female suitor for season three of "UnReal" created a dynamic "that we haven't seen before" between her character, the tough-as-nails producer Quinn, and her protege Rachel (Shiri Appleby). In its first two seasons this satirical behind-the-scenes look at a reality dating competition series featured bachelors searching for love among casts of eligible women. This year the sexes were flipped, with determined career woman Serena Wolcott (Caitlin FitzGerald) sifting through a variety of men. "It made both of them very aware of how much they take down women, even though that's not their goal," Zimmer explains. The two had to ask themselves, "How do you manipulate and empower a woman at the same time?" Watch our exclusive video interview with Zimmer above.
SEE Emmys 2018 exclusive: Lifetime categories for 'Cocaine Grandmothers,' 'Flint,' 'Project Runway,' 'UnReal' and more
Early on Serena takes the advice of the show's chauvinistic producer (Craig Bierko) and dumbs herself down for the men. "Those are true situations that I think women are faced with all the time," Zimmer says, "no matter what you do — in your job, in your career, or even trying to find a partner." Because of persistent double standards, "when women are strong and they know what they want they're considered a bitch. They are considered difficult to work with, and it is amazing to me how different it is for men than women."
She appreciates the show's ability to address subjects "that are super uncomfortable, and I hope that people take more from it now because of the time we're living in." With the #MeToo movement has come "the awareness that this is real. It's not just exaggerated for television anymore."

Zimmer was nominated at the Emmys for Best Drama Supporting Actress in 2016 for the show's first season. She has also contended at the SAG Awards as a member of the ensemble cast of "Boston Legal" (2008). Her other TV credits include memorable roles on "Entourage," "House of Cards," and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." This year she also stepped behind the camera for the first time on "UnReal" by directing the episode "Recurrent." And she has already directed an episode for the upcoming fourth season, "No Limit," set to air later this year.

Is there a place for board-specific docs in the EspruinoDocs repo, or somewhere else? What I mean is a place for the information we've been capturing here: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/wiki/ESP8266-Design-Notes
• #2
Not yet. I'd stick something in the boards folder. It needs to be called something more than ESP8266 though, as it'll conflict with the existing ESP8266 page
• #3
My vote would be internal docs on how to Espruino works internally remain in the Wiki ... and design docs about the internals of a specific board would be included there. User guides and documents specific for a consumer of Espruino should (of course) make it into the espruino.com web site.
• #4
I'm looking for a place for user docs. For example to state that GPIO pins do not support an internal pull-down. Or that there's really only one analog pin. Or that I2C is in software, only runs at 100Khz, and doesn't support clock stretching.
• #5
At the start of the
Referencepage there is a detailed list of all the boards that Espruino is believed to work upon... see:
My vote for board specific details and caveats would be in the board specific page.
There is a work item to create a page for the ESP8266 ... see issue 653. I had assumed that these pages were no more than simple web pages (say written in markdown or HTML) but it seems that they are (to some degree) generated pages and this means that the page for the ESP8266 is not a trivial matter. Rather than have to study the board specific page generation architecture myself, I was hoping that someone in our community could step up and own that as a distinct task and either create a detailed recipe that would be easy to follow or act as a resource for each board creation team and own the creation of the initial version of the page for each team.
• #6
I created docs and took a photo of an esp-12 module. The result is a PR for the Espruino repo and one for the EspruinoDocs repo. There's some work for Gordon to make it all integrate correctly (I think I did 90% of the work).
Gordon, I'd also appreciate some help for how to improve the pins stuff:
- I'd like to make the analog pin be 'A0' but when I comment out
[#pinutils](http://forum.espruino.com/search/?q=%23pinutils).findpin(pins, "PA0", False)["functions"]["ADC"]=0
at the end of the ESP8266_16.py boards file I get compilation errors that I don't know what to do with.
- similar issue for the PB16 line in the same file (it's intended to be the GPIO16 on the RTC clock)
- how can I add more labels to the various pins to indicate 3.3v, where the SPI pins are, etc?
Oh: someone else gets the privilege to shoot a photo of an esp-01 and copy the pin stuff to the ESP8266_BOARD.py (maybe rename to ESP8266_01.py?)
- I'd like to make the analog pin be 'A0' but when I comment out

Do you want Bubblegum Pop? Then Aqua is the band for you.
Aqua is a Danish-Norwegian band. Isn't it great how the 90s pop world had acts from all over the world instead of the music industry being swamped by American music. They are best known for their single 'Barbie Girl' which peaked at #1 in Australia, UK, and many other countries. It peaked at #7 in USA and #2 in Japan.
In 2007 Rolling Stone named the song as one of the top 20 most annoying songs. Okay, if you play this song non stop all day and all night, 24/7 for as long as possible (which is probably what you did when you purchased the single) then yes this song will eventually you drive you nuts. This was the only song I played when I was a kid and it's been recorded with the family camcorder. After watching the video for old times sake and heard this song play in the background a gazillion times, I was going crazy. I felt sorry for my parents.
However, if you think their music is annoying and you have not heard their songs as much as my parents, then you must be really old and close minded. If you enjoy their songs then you must be full of youth.
For every music lover out there, if you like alternative music and hate bubblegum pop and you call others close-minded then you are a hypocrite. I enjoy pop, hip-hop, rock 'n roll, alternative rock, other alternatives, classical, the 60s (surf music), 70s, 80s, and the 90s. I love all genres of music so why shouldn't you? I hate techno but I don't consider that music.
Their other single 'Doctor Jones' also did very well. It was #1 in Australia for seven weeks! That was my favourite song from the band. They were around the same time as Spice Girls since they were both so popular they were being compared a lot. Aqua wins!
If you enjoy their singles then you will LOVE their album. Buy it! Their album include some slow rhythmic dance songs which is always good to hear.
I will end this post with their colourful in-their-own-world music videos!
If you want to see more videos, just go to youtube.

An Errand! The Professor's Price
- Obtain one or more of the Orb of Batons, Orb of Cups, Orb of Coins, and Orb of Swords Key Item from Cardians in the Outer Horutoto Ruins.
- Any level, non-event Cardians can drop the Key Item that matches it's name.
- Dahlia Tower at (F-11) in West Sarutabaruta is filled with every kind of Cardian.
- Every alliance member currently in the zone will receive the Key Item if it drops.
- Cardians that have a higher number are more likely to drop the Key Item.
- Only one of the orbs is required to start the fight, but the more orbs obtained reduces the number of Cardians you must fight.
- As of the March 2010 update, you can now purchase the orb key items from Squintrox Dryeyes in Port Jeuno instead of farming them if you have already beaten A Moogle Kupo d'Etat
- Each orb in the player's possession allows the party to deal one type of damage:
- Orb of Cups: Piercing-damage unlocked.
- Orb of Coins: Magic-damage unlocked.
- Orb of Batons: Blunt-damage unlocked.
- Orb of Swords: Slashing-damage unlocked.
- Each party member who wishes to receive credit for the fight needs at least one of the Key Items. However, the Custom Cardians' number and resistances are determined by the Key Items of the player who initiates the fight has collected.
- Even if other members in the party have collected a Key Item, if the player who initiates the fight does not have it, the Custom Cardians will be immune to that damage type.
- Head into Outer Horutoto Ruins from (H-3) in East Sarutabaruta.
- There is a ??? located on an Ancient Magical Gizmo directly opposite the entrance, examining it will give you the option to start the fight. Be warned that Confrontation status causes pets to DESPAWN when you activate the battle.
- After all the Cardians are defeated, you automatically obtain a Ripe starfruit and a Peach coral key.
- Return to Shantotto, who asks you to meet her in Jeuno and demands 5000 gil for her services.
- You must eventually pay her to progress. If you decline paying her, you receive an alternate cutscene, but you must change areas and speak to her again in order to continue with the mission.
- Return to the Inconspicuous Door for a cutscene.
- Clicking the ??? will place Level Restriction and Confrontation status effects upon the party and will spawn the Custom Cardians. They must all be defeated to win.
- The battle is not capped and buffs are not lost once the battle starts.
- Custom Cardians are True Hearing, making a "Sneak-pull" impossible.
- Confrontation status dismisses pets, including Avatars and Automatons. Dragoon Wyverns are unaffected.
- The number of Cardians is dependent upon the number of Key Items the player who initiates the battle has collected. By default, there are 20, and for each additional orb, the number of Cardians is reduced by 5 for a minimum of 5 with all 4 orbs collected.
- As noted above, the player who initiates the battle sets the Cardians' resistances for the rest of the party, regardless of which orbs other party members have collected.
- Enfeebling magic effects, including all forms of Sleep, still function as usual even if the player has not received the Orb of Coins. The initial damage from Damage Over Time spells does not process, but the damage-per-tick does.
- Custom Cardians can be Aspired for MP.
- A party member without any orbs, or who does not have access to the expansion, can still participate in the same way as any other party member can.
- All party members lose all Key Items upon initiating the battle. Players wishing to receive credit must have had at least one Key Item prior to initiating the fight.
- If you stray too far from the battle-field, the fight is forfeit and you must reobtain your orbs.
- (see testimonials).
- The fight can be repeated once per Earth day (after Japanese Midnight).
- The Key Items may be collected again at any time. You do not need to examine the ???, use your Peach coral key, or wait until after Japanese Midnight before hunting the Key Items again.
- Repeating the fight yields 500 EXP and the Peach coral key.
Game Description
- Mission Orders
- The Professor consents to lend you her aid, but as expected, there's a price to be paid. Within a Cardian in the Outer Horutoto Ruins lies the reagent she does seek; return it to her, that you might avert a fate most bleak!

Report on the Petition of Stephen Porter, [12 February 1794]
Report on the Petition of Stephen Porter
[Philadelphia, February 12, 1794
Communicated on February 17, 1794]1
[To the Speaker of the House of Representatives]
The Secretary of the Treasury to whom was referred the
Petition of Stephen Porter,2 respectfully makes the
following Report.
The Petitioner claims compensation and indemnification in relation to 1st a quantity of Grain which he furnished for the Use of the Army in the Year 1778. 2nd. the rent of a Store-House belonging to him, which was occupied for the Use of the Troops of the United States for the term of about eleven Months. 3d. the Amount of a Judgement recovered against him as Assistant Commissary of Forage since the rendering of his Accounts and not included therein.
It appears that sometime in September 1786 the Account of the Petitioner was settled by Jonathan Burrall Commissioner for settling the Accounts of the Quarter Masters Department, and a balance found in his favor of 1812 Dollars and ⁴⁄₉₀; for which he received Certificates as was usual in the like Cases.
It appears, further, that in Consequence of Objections made at the time which prevented the first Settlement from being considered as definitive, a revision was afterwards had (to wit in October following) which produced a confirmation of the Settlement.
After full consideration it is conceived to be inexpedient to open this Settlement to a new revision. The point involved is a question concerning the rule by which depreciation has been adjusted. The inconveniences of innovating in this particular, have been repeatedly remarked to the House.3
It may be added, that, independent of Objections arising from this general Consideration, the case is so circumstanced as to admit of difference of opinion on the Merits of the Claim. The Petitioner while he claims the Specie price for grain furnished by him early in 1778, expects to account for a balance of Continental Money, put in his hands for purchases in April, May and July of the same Year, according to the rate of depreciation at the time when he ceased to act, which was the end of the Year. To render this equitable it were necessary that it should appear, that the money actually remained unused to that time, a fact which from the nature of the thing, would be difficult of proof; however Confidence in the assertion of the Petitioner may induce a persuasion of its having been the case. The Petitioner also claims depreciation on his pay as Assistant Commissary of Forage, and an Allowance for expences while attending the Settlement of his Account; both which last mentioned Claims are inadmissable, with reference either to legal provisions or Usage.
The Claim of Rent for his Store-House while in the occupation of the Troops may be adjusted at the Treasury, if, as the Petitioner alleges, the claim was preferred in time. If it was not, there occur no circumstances sufficiently special, to render it adviseable to except the Case out of the operation of the Acts of Limitation.4
The Claim of Indemnification for the Sum recovered by judgment at Law, is opposed by some general Considerations of weight. It is admitted, not to have been preferred within the time prescribed by the Acts of Limitation, and that no notice of the pendency of the Suit was given to any public Officer or Department.
The precedent of Indemnification against a judgment so obtained might have extensive Mischiefs, whatever probability of fairness there may be in the present Case. The guards arising from the Acts of limitation, might thereby be eluded. In every such Case, where the Government is to be considered as the party to pay, it is proper and necessary, that, by timely Notice, it should be enabled to interpose for the Care of its own interests.
All which is respectfully submitted
Alexander Hamilton
Secy. of the Treasury.
February 12th. 1794.
Copy, RG 233, Reports of the Secretary of the Treasury, 1784–1795, Vol. IV, National Archives.
1. Journal of the House description begins Journal of the House of Representatives of the United States (Washington, 1826), I, II. description ends , II, 64.
2. On February 27, 1792, the petition of Stephen Porter was "presented to the House and read … praying compensation for supplies furnished or property impressed, for the use of the Army of the United States, during the late war.…
"Ordered, That the said … [petition] be referred to the Secretary of the Treasury, with instruction to examine the same, and report his opinion thereupon to the House." (Journal of the House description begins Journal of the House of Representatives of the United States (Washington, 1826), I, II. description ends , I, 521.)
3. For example, see "Report on the Memorial of James Warren," April 12, 1790; "Report on Several Petitions Seeking Indemnification for Various Sums of Paper Money Received During the Late War," November 17, 1792.
4. Among the statutes of limitation concerning Revolutionary War claims passed by the Continental Congress, those most frequently referred to are the resolutions of November 2, 1785, and July 23, 1787. On November 2, 1785, Congress resolved: "That all persons having claims for services performed in the military department, be directed to exhibit the same for liquidation to the commissioners of army accounts, on or before the first day of August, ensuing the date hereof, and that all claims, under the description above mentioned, which may be exhibited after that period, shall forever thereafter be precluded from adjustment or allowance, and that the commissioner of army accounts give public Notice of this resolve in all the states for the space of six Months" (JCC description begins Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (Washington, 1904–1937). description ends , XXIX, 866). On July 23, 1787, Congress resolved: "That all persons having unliquidated Claims against the United States pertaining to the late Commissary's Quartermaster's, hospital Cloathier's or marine department shall exhibit particular abstracts of such claims to the proper commissioner appointed to settle the accounts of those departments within eight Months from the date hereof; And all persons having other unliquidated claims against the United States shall exhibit a particular abstract thereof to the Comptroller of the treasury of the United States within one year from the date hereof; And all accounts not exhibited as aforesaid shall be precluded from settlement or allowance" (JCC description begins Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (Washington, 1904–1937). description ends , XXXIII, 392).
In March, 1792, the door was again opened for the settlement of unadjusted Revolutionary War claims by "An Act to provide for the settlement of the Claims of Widows and Orphans barred by the limitations heretofore established, and to regulate the Claims to Invalid Pensions" (1 Stat. description begins The Public Statutes at Large of the United States of America (Boston, 1845). description ends 243–45 [March 23, 1792]) and "An Act providing for the settlement of the Claims of Persons under particular circumstances barred by the limitations heretofore established" (1 Stat. description begins The Public Statutes at Large of the United States of America (Boston, 1845). description ends 245 [March 27, 1792]). Further adjustments were made by Section 2 of "An Act relative to claims against the United States, not barred by any act of limitation, and which have not been already adjusted" (1 Stat. description begins The Public Statutes at Large of the United States of America (Boston, 1845). description ends 301–02 [February 12, 1793]), which provided "That it shall be the duty of the Auditor of the Treasury, to receive all such claims aforesaid as have not been heretofore barred by any act of limitation, as shall be presented before the time aforesaid, with the certificates, or other documents in support thereof, and to cause a record to be made of the names of the persons, and of the time when the said claims are presented; which record shall be made in the presence of the person or persons presenting the same, and shall be the only evidence that the said claims were presented, during the time limited by this act." The expiration date of this act was May 1, 1794. See also "Report on Sundry Petitions," April 16, 1792; "Report on Several Petitions Seeking Compensation for Property Damaged or Destroyed During the Late War," November 19, 1792.

A FAILED attempt to steal a cash machine from outside the Spar shop in Killyclogher at the weekend could have ended up with the building on fire, the store's owner has claimed.
Kieran McGinn has praised the quick response of "vigilant" neighbours and the emergency services for preventing further damage from occurring.
At around 4am on Sunday morning, thieves drove a stolen telehandler into the side of the Spar, on the Old Mountfield Road, Killyclogher in an attempt to dislodge the in-built cash machine from the wall.
Although the outside wall of the store was damaged, the inside of the building was unaffected.
Police believe the machinery was taken from a building site a short distance away. It was set on fire immediately after the incident.
Speaking to the Ulster Herald this week, Mr McGinn claimed that the building had been very close to catching fire following the arson attack on the plant machinery.
The business owner said he appreciated the viligance of the people living nearby the store, who had alerted the emergency services to what was happening.
Mr McGinn claimed that "very good, vigilant" neighbours had heard the noise and shouted at those involved, causing them to stop in their efforts to take the ATM.
He said that the shop's neighbours had immediately contacted both the emergency services and himself.
Praising the "very quick" response of the PSNI and, in particular, the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS), Mr McGinn said, "It was a windy night and the building could have caught fire."
Despite the extensive damage caused to the outside wall, the Spar was able to open as normal on Sunday morning.
Describing the ATM as a "very important part of the fabric of our community", Mr McGinn said that he hoped it would be back up and running within the next week. Although they were unsuccessful on this occasion, the shop owner is concerned that whoever was responsible could come back.
"I was surprised that the ATM was targeted as there is a big built-up area around the shop. They are getting a lot more brazen," he said.
Detectives investigating the incident are keen to trace the movements of a dark-coloured Volkswagen Passat which headed towards Cookstown.
Detective Sergeant Robinson said, "I would appeal to anyone who believes they may have seen this vehicle around this time, or prior to when the incident was reported, to call us."
Local councillor, Anne-Marie Fitzgerald, has branded those behind the attempted ATM cash machine theft as "enemies of the community".
She said, "This attempted theft, coming after the theft of the ATM from the Supervalu store in Fintona just before Christmas, is deeply worrying for local businesses who provide ATM facilities on their premises for the local communities which they serve."
The PSNI have appealed to anyone who was in the Killyclogher area in the early hours of Sunday morning and saw any suspicious activity, or anyone who has information about this crime to call detectives in Omagh CID by calling 101, quoting reference 243 of 06/01/19.

We will start from the time you arrive onsite through your departure following your big finish. Please check the week of the event for potential time changes on class. Each class is weather permitting. Classes will typically run between 45 to 90 minutes, depending on questions and the event. Occasionally we will have a special guest as well.

Support Crews
Due to an increasing amount of athletes entering events they may not be properly trained for, we are asking each athlete to be responsible and honest with his/her ability to complete the distance registering for. Due to safety concerns for everyone involved including you the athlete, but also the support crew volunteers and officials like police, sheriff, fire department, etc. we must instill course cut off times at 4 hrs. Raffle and awards start at 3 hrs and 30 minutes in Olympic distance events and 99% of all athletes are finished by that time. So you must register for the event you will finish under that 4 hour time limit. Being a responsible athlete means if you cannot complete the Olympic distance comfortably under that time we recommend you participate in the sprint event. We encourage you to train for the goal to reach that Olympic distance under the 4 hour time limit. If you do not have a clear idea as to how to achieve that goal we are here to help, please let us know.
An athlete will be informed he/she has reached the 4 hr. cut off, at which time the athlete will acknowledge he/she understands completely and he/she will be brought in off the course by the course coordinator. If the athlete refuses this he/she will be informed that there will not be any support left on the course from that point and he/she must acknowledge this and understand he/she is continuing under those circumstances at which time the athlete will remove the timing chip/strap and give to the course coordinator.
Again an athlete must take the responsibility on as an athlete understanding his/her ability at the time of the event. Knowing that support crew volunteers, as well as other personnel out on courses must be kept in safe conditions as well.

Prince Harry isn't the only person who thinks his wife, Meghan Markle, is gorgeous. Millions of people across the globe find the former actress to be beautiful, but for most of them it goes no further than being impressed by photos of her. However, Xochytl Greer, a mother of three from Houston, Texas, took her love for the Duchess of Sussex a lot further. Greer has spent $25,000 on a nose job, a butt lift, lip fillers, Botox and more to look like Markle.
Greer says it worked and that people on the street, and even her daughter, confuse her for Meghan.
As for why she went under the knife, Greer told The Sun that she had been struggling with her physical appearance and how her clothes fit after having her third child. Since she admired Meghan's natural beauty, she asked doctors to make her resemble the Duchess.
With the procedures over, Greer is much happier, explaining:
"When I look in the mirror, I'm happy again. I still see me but a better version of me. I'm at the point where I feel I can put myself out there in the world again. I had very big self-confidence issues, but now I feel I can put on a nice dress and don't need to wear much make-up because I feel great."
Greer didn't need to change her wardrobe either since she still wears the same size clothes, but she now feels they fit her body much better.
She also understands that she doesn't look like Markle's twin though she is thrilled with the results nonetheless:
"I don't think I look identical to Meghan Markle, but I do see our similarities a lot more now, my nose definitely resembles hers more closely. I also had fillers in my jawline to have a stronger jaw like she does, so I do feel I more strongly resemble her now."

Of all the places that we visited on this tour, this was probably the one I looked forward to the most… and this is also the one place I have the least photos of.
When one travels so far into the wild – a stomach bug can be somewhat, well, devastating.
What I do remember is the following:
The showers and bathrooms were really clean and neat. And they had just built-in their solar geysers – so hot water after a very long day. There were no more than 5 campsites and they all had a shaded area. Each campsite was equipped with a barbecue area as well as a tap with running water.
I will just have to return to this little paradise to catch up!

Joshua Neally would be considering himself very lucky to have got himself a self-driving car. Joshua was driving his Tesla Model X in Missouri when he suffered extreme piercing pain his stomach and chest. Rather than calling an ambulance, the 37-year-old leveraged the Tesla Autopilot system to drive to the nearest hospital.
|(pc-google images)
The Tesla car then arrived at the hospital emergency area, after which Neally took control and manually steered the car into the car park before checking himself in. The driver was diagnosed with pulmonary which is caused by blood vessel obstruction in the lungs, and doctors said he was lucky to have survived it.
Tesla's Autopilot is a driver assistance feature which helps drivers cross lanes safely, adjust speed based on other vehicles close by and scan parking spaces for better parking. Tesla says that "Autopilot is getting better all the time, but it is not perfect and still requires the driver to remain alert."
The use of the technology is being investigated by the US road safety watchdog, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, after a Tesla driver in Florida was killed when his self-driving car crashed into a semi truck. Neally knows about the incident, but said he was happy to use the autopilot function that saved his life.
"If something like that happens where I become unconscious or incapacitated while I'm driving, I'm not going to cross over the interstate and slam into somebody or slam into one of the big rock walls," the lawyer said. "It's not going to be perfect, there's no technology that's perfect, but I think the measure is that it's better and safer."

Went on the bargain rate ($5) city tour yesterday that takes you all around in a double decker bus. We and everyone else sat on top and roasted in the Ecuadorian sun.
We rolled around the Parque Calderon – ground zero for Cuencan social life, the great old cathedral where La Condamine's associate lay on his back in the 18th century measuring the earth and the blue domed Inmaculada you an see at the top of this site. It's the "new cathedral" build started some 300 years after the old cathedral in the mid-15th century, still 130 years old, but a new 130 years old.
We're a bit slow on taking the city tour – usually it's the first thing a savvy traveler should do in a new city. Case the joint.
This one was like no other in the level of hazard presented. The electric lines dangling down and across the street clipped the top of the bus and unwary passengers not listening to the broadcast comments by the driver warning of their approach risked garroting. The bus is tall (much taller than the standard city buses) and the phone and electric lines show a distincly whimsical Latin-American touch to wiring houses.
You get a unique view of Cuenca from 15 feet off the ground – especially if you remember to duck when going under low hanging tree limbs and electric cables. Architectural details are at eye level like this.
If you manage to survive being clotheslined, you get to the lovely little Church of Turi, high overlooking Cuenca.
Like most other Catholic churches hereabouts, you can't actually go inside – say to pray – unless it's at the right time and a curate is around to make sure you don't pinch the chalice or the candlesticks.
On the way back the bus came upon a red pickup, double parked on one of the narrow cobblestone streets. There was a wedding nearby but the guy who came out after two or three minutes was no wedding party member, just a jerk. This after considerable tootling of the horn, making noises with the airbrakes by our driver.
One note on Ecuadorian driving: patience is measured in milliseconds and using the horn is pretty much S.O.P. here. So, you can begin to grasp the bus drivers apoplexy at this point. One of the passengers threw water on the guy, who I almost felt sorry for by the time he climbed back inside to move. Note also from the picture that there's a perfectly good parking space just ahead of the white car, so "Mr. Genius" as I began to think of him didn't need to take the abuse he got, verbally and in a wetter sense.
The Cuenca panorama on this glorious, sun filled day from the Turi vista point is the first one I've taken that actually worked, so I'm quite proud it and Corel Photo Studio 6's merging software.
New Improved Cuenca Panorama (bigger, anyway)
I know I promised pictures of Cajas (and they are beautiful) and can be found at Flickr Cajas
Selah and peace to all!

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Pevensey Bay' tag.
There's nothing so controversial as Broadband Service Providers. If you check out the forums, you'll see they're full of complaints and gripes. That was us too until 2005! Our broadband was provided by one of the major companies and we'd been with them for some time. In all fairness, we didn't have many problems until we moved to Pevensey Bay, just outside Eastbourne.
Although a lovely place, Pevensey Bay is nothing if not windy and that's when the problems started! With every bout of high winds and rain, our connection dropped. I'm sure we weren't the only ones affected, but our provider was about as much use as a chocolate fireguard!
In time, we found out the problem was with the BT infrastructure but, getting our provider to contact BT was a constant battle. The problem was, if they called out BT and it turned out to be a different problem, BT would bill the provider for the call-out. When we lost our connection for a fortnight and, despite constant phone calls (to an expensive premium rate number) and countless email 'tickets', nothing was done about it, we came to the conclusion they had to go!
A business contact recommended we speak to Hasting-based company, Beaming. I was given a phone number and told to phone Stuart. What's this … a broadband supplier with a phone number and a real person with a name? And guess what? Beaming does have real people, they answer their phones and what's more, they do amazing things like … phoning you back!
Needless to say, we've been recommending Beaming to everyone who'll listen, ever since. Of course we've had the occasional problem and lost service, but each time it's dealt with quickly and professionally. When we moved back to Chipping Norton, good old BT couldn't be persuaded to connect our phones, let alone our broadband. Stuart from Beaming stepped in and helped resolve the problem. And because Beaming is big on communication, Stuart phoned us regularly on our mobile to give us updates on the progress.
Beaming's service has been exceptional from day one. Here's a recent example of the Beaming customer care … we started to experience problems with our broadband connection one evening. We tried calling, but didn't realise Beaming's technical support line closes at 9pm. No problem! We left a message, knowing it would be picked up and dealt with in the morning. Imagine our amazement when Stuart from Beaming phoned us at 9.45pm … he was at home, but checked his messages before shutting down for the night. He then went on to check our system from his end!
That level of customer service deserves a great big bouquet and a sincere thank you to Stuart, Marcus and the rest of the Beaming crew from us here at WORD-right.
So take it from WORD-right … if your broadband provider is not delivering that level of service … try Beaming! You'll find real people (with names!) who answer their phones and care about their customers. They're a rare beast indeed!

Web series seeking 'Local Legends' in Montgomery today
- %27Local Legends%2C National Treasures%27 to feature tourist attractions off beaten path
- Web series%27 host is Bo Stevenson
- Stevenson will be in Montgomery Friday and Saturday to check out sites
Montgomery has plenty of options when it comes to tourist attractions, but to go deeper is what one future web series is attempting as they seek out "local legends."
Bo Stevenson will be hosting the show, sponsored by the Cheerwine soft drink, and will be in Montgomery on Friday and Saturday. The show, tentatively called "Local Legends, National Treasures," will bypass what Stevenson refers to as the "headline destinations."
"We are looking for things that are authentic, independent," he said. "Things that have a big local following about them."
Some possible items on Stevenson's list include Chris' Hot Dogs, the Hank Williams memorial at the Oakwood Annex Cemetery and the Capri Theatre. The list of sites will be flexible as Stevenson will talk to residents once he arrives in town about places and people he must visit.
"I've always done this, every city I arrive in I try to find the local gems," Stevenson said.
People can take to social media to help out before Stevenson's arrival as those with suggestions are encouraged to use Instagram or Twitter to post about a local legend with the hashtag #cheerwinelocallegend.
(See more tweets at the end of the story)
"The coolest part is asking people to help out," Stevenson said. "Everybody wants to tell you where the local spots are."
The concept for the future web series mirrors Cheerwine, the soft drink sponsoring the endeavor.
"Cheerwine is a legend in the Carolinas, but as you get outside of the Carolinas it doesn't have the same reach," Stevenson said. "Since Cheerwine is a legend in the Carolinas, they thought why not celebrate local legends all over the country."
Cheerwine recently partnered with Buffalo Rock with selections now being found in stores such as Wal-Mart and Winn-Dixie. Stevenson said he is not a spokesman for the drink but will freely praise its taste.
"It's truly awesome to watch someone try Cheerwine," he said. "It's instantly enjoyable to ones who've never heard of it."
Stevenson is a former resident of Los Angeles who now lives in South Carolina. He was picked as the host for the series after a company he formerly worked with helped to get Cheerwine product placements in the upcoming Zach Galifianakis movie "Masterminds."
"They asked if they knew anyone to be the 'Cheerwine guy' and I was suggested to them," Stevenson said. "Getting to do this has been a dream my whole life."
There is no set date for the show to premiere online as Stevenson and the film crew will next travel to Mobile, Mississippi and Florida.

Erdogan also denied the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights to challenge the results of the referendum that granted him questionable powers as President. Turkey's main opposition stated that they will challenge the referendum and its result with every possible way available.

An indepth story about forgiveness and looking within yourself. Sometimes it is hard to forgive people in your life for the things that they have done or when they have let you down. But once you learn to forgive you may find things out about yourself. Great entertainment for the entire family.

https://vimeo.com/129729125Feedback on Amazon is very different from feedback on Ebay. In general on Amazon, most customers don't even realize that they are not buying directly from Amazon. Even those customers that do understand that there are people like us selling on Amazon don't look at feedback like they would for an eBay merchant. Amazon has such a trusted reputation that just by being on Amazon, you get a certain level of implicit trust from the customer. When you use Amazon's FBA program that trust factor goes up. Many customers will buy from you without ever knowing your feedback.When you first start you want to works towards getting your first feedback- but you can relax knowing feedbacks come with time. In most categories you can only expect 2% of your customers to leave you feedback at all.When selling on Amazon, you really want to keep your feedback above 95%. Since it will take a long time to gather a lot of feedback- it is very important you do everything you can to keep your first 50 feedbacks as positive ones. Feedback is very important on Amazon and plays a role in how often you get the buy box. In order to keep your feedback above 95%, you will need to check in regularly to identify and remove feedback rated 3 and lower. It is ideal to check your feedbacks at least once a week in case there are any that need to be removed.One of the benefits of using FBA is that unless you label or list something incorrectly, your feedback should be easily removed!
There are several reasons that qualify for having feedback removed:
- The use of obscene or vulgar language
- Feedback that comes in the form of a product review (think price, color, size)
- Feedback that includes personal information, such as addresses, email addresses, etc.
- FBA Related Issues (arrived late, broken, bad customer service, etc.)
We have had negative feedbacks removed when the customer complained the price was too high, the item arrive late (FBA), the item arrived broken (FBA), when they didn't like the product smell, when they were unhappy after talking with Amazon customer service and more!
The real key in keeping your feedback high is to be extra careful when you are prepping items. We make sure everything is check once when the label goes on, once when it is picked to go into the boxes, and one more time before it goes in the box. We make sure at least two people look at everything. It really helps minimize items getting labeled incorrectly!
Remember that the number of feedback doesn't matter as much on Amazon. After you have 10 feedbacks the "Just Launched" icon is removed from what the buyers see. The only reason to really pursue more feedback after is so that if you do get a negative it doesn't impact you as much.
We never remove feedback that is a 4 or 5 no matter what they say in it. It takes a lot of 4's and 5's to cancel out a negative 1 or 2. If your percentage is low- check out Feedback Five or Feedback Genius. We have never used one- so I can't really recommend one over the other. At least it gives you a place to start though!
The number one way to ensure good feedback really happens when you list and ship your items to Amazon.
Making sure the product you are listing matches the product page EXACTLY, that it is sold with the right condition (i.e. New Items should be without any shelf wear and never opened), and labeled correctly.

Drawing eyes, or any part of the face is tricky because we are all so familiar with the human face. We start looking at faces from birth. We look at babies and they to us. So what we tend to do when drawing the face, especially eyes, is to exaggerate. Eyes get drawn with dark lines instead of emerging out of a darkish area of the socket which end up looking more like an Egyptian kohl eye than a more naturalistic eye.
To draw eyes well there are some physical considerations. The first is the skull itself and the socket. When you see a skull (and at halloween you can see lots of skulls) there is a hole where the eye ball, muscles, and skin will fill. Notice the shape of that hole. It's not round! It's kind of shaped like a pair of sunglass lenses, more of a rectangle shape. Notice the slope of the eye brow bone. Each side bends down toward the ear. Notice also at the bottom where its lower and higher.
Inside this cavity sits a ball. To start the drawing draw a ball shape, but fill the cavity. Remember, we are seeing just a small section of the orb of the eye. If you take a ping-pong ball, you can start to visualize it sitting in the 'eye-glass lense' shape. In fact, you could make a model using a ping pong ball as the eye ball.
The bone of the brow ridge, the top of the socket sits FORWARD, or IN FRONT OF the ball. So how do you show this? By remembering that there is going to be a shadow created by the brow ridge and socket bone. To render this, lay in a middle to dark middle value in the whole eye socket area, but still keep the ball lightly visible.
Over this lightly draw in the eye lid. When drawing the lid, notice, again, which is higher, which is lower in both the top and bottom lids. The ball is now being covered by the skin (and muscle) on both the top and bottom of the sphere.
When drawing the lid, but make sure you draw it lower than the top of the circle. Note where the corners of the eye are. The top of the circle of the eye ball is where the lid dives back in to the socket. It's the area where one would apply eye shadow.
The lid will make it's own shadow on eye ball, and the iris is often darker, even in pale eyes. When drawing the iris, notice what master painters have done – they use straight lines to depict the shape. The reason is that we, the viewer, will round it. And as an artist it's easier to create the illusion of round with straight lines, especially in a small, tight area such as the eye.
Add the lighter, highlight to the lid(s) as it's also a ball on top of a ball and needs to show form. You can also add a highlight to the eye itself, but be judicious. See what really there and make sure the highlight is not too dark, nor too light. It has to be in the correct value.
Remember that all the prep work you do underneath the drawing should be light, but dark enough for you to see, and most especially accurate. If it's not accurate, what ever gets laid on top will be off. So take your time to really observe and get it correct. To go fast, go slow. Take your time. You will live with the drawing way longer than it will take to make it, so be really thoughtful about your lay-ins.
This is just a basic lay in and can be taken further. One book that I use often and travel with is John Vanderpoel's "Human Figure". In it he breaks the figure down in to their separate parts. Copy them until you can do them from memory.

Primitive Survival
A reply by jwg 7781 to an original post on American Preppers Network
Many people throughout time have survived primitively. Small tribal bands, pioneers, trappers, mountain folk, etc… if you can make fire, shelter and produce food and clothing then some form of clothing and have a water source, you are well on your way. When you get rid of TV, computers and other un-needed distractions you will have a lot of time on your hands to take care of things. develop your skill sets and with a minimal amount of gear a person can survive comfortably. There is an initial period of hard work to get set up, however, being preppers, most of this initial set up should be completed.
The most important thing to do (I believe) is to develop the skill sets required for long term survival, then make the 'prepps' to make sure you have what you need to carry out your plans. Food stored gets used, then you have to produce your own. Bullets stored get used then you have to reload or use something other than a gun. Stored water gets used then you have to come up with a safe water source. So on and so on… skill sets are what is needed for long term survival.
I am a country boy who has live in major cities throughout the world, I am an Eagle Scout, college educated then went around the world 4 times for Uncle Sam as an airborne infantryman, fought in Iraq in '04 and '05. Skill sets have come in handy for me many times. Start out by educating yourself then spend 2 days and a night out in the woods by yourself with minimal gear. Practice your skill sets until you have them down.
