Mel Gibson needs therapy: Mike Tyson
London, Oct 29 (IANS) Former boxing champion Mike Tyson is urging Hollywood heavyweight Mel Gibson to seek professional help as he battles personal problems, insisting the actor needs 'someone to talk to'.
Gibson has been embroiled in a public spat with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva this year over allegations he knocked out her teeth in a domestic dispute. Tapes of their bitter arguments, which later emerged online, intensified the fall out.
Tyson admits he can empathise with the actor-director because of his own chequered past, which saw him sensationally accused of beating his ex-wife Robin Givens, while he later sank into drug abuse and the sportsman is adamant Gibson needs therapy to help him through the dark times, reports contactmusic.com.
'We all have that guy — a Mel Gibson — in us. We just don't want people to be exposed to it. Maybe he needs to go get help. We all need help, and need someone to talk to. I'm not against him, but I'm not for him,' he said.
Tyson, who appeared in hit 2009 comedy 'The Hangover', is reportedly set to join the cast of the upcoming sequel which will now no longer feature a cameo appearance from Gibson after members of the cast and crew objected to his presence on set.
But the boxer admits he wouldn't have complained about working with the 'Lethal Weapon' star.
'I'm not going to ever in my life point my finger at anyone. I don't live in a glass house. None of us do. I work with anybody, as long as they're respectful,' he said.

Rafael Benitez has been discussing his selection policy as we prepare for another Barclays Premier League away day.
We travel to Liverpool tomorrow seeking to consolidate our position within the Champions League spots, with Benitez expected to again change his side from that which started against Fulham on Wednesday. He believes there is nothing unusual about the decision.
'We talk about rotation policy like it is something strange,' the Spaniard said. 'I can understand that years ago you wouldn't hear too much about that, but when they talked about my rotation policy, Sir Alex Ferguson was rotating more players than me.
'In a top side, you have to change players because two games a week is not easy. You change one player, you change the team. I changed the team 99 times and people were talking about that, and Ferguson was doing it more, 119 times. Jose Mourinho too, doing the same, because they were top teams playing two games a week. Everybody was rotating players.'
Benitez accepts players will be disappointed at not playing games, but believes they can be kept happy with dialogue.
'Every player is different and we have to talk to them in a different way,' he said. 'I can talk with Juan Mata and tell him he is doing really well, or talk to Hazard to motivate him. Demba Ba, Lampard, Petr Cech, every player has his personality and you have to talk to him in a different way.'
Looking at the past week, Benitez touched on his selections against Manchester City and Fulham, explaining he felt both were good enough to win those games.
'The FA Cup semi-final was a massive game, but we agreed that Fulham was also a massive game, really important for us. For that match we picked a team with good players on the pitch and we won.
'All our players can play three times a week. All of them are fit. Everybody can play, and the priority is the team. Everybody has to be ready, and to support the team.
'My commitment is to win every game, so I pick the team to do that, the best team possible for every game.'

On a recent episode of the Wrestlingus Show, WWE Hall Of Famer Sunny talked about Paige's leaked videos, her quick exit from the WrestleMania 25 women's battle royal, her foray into adult entertainment, and her issues with Sable, also known as Rena Mero.
On the subject of Paige's leaked videos, Sunny admitted she feels sorry for the inaugural NXT Women's Champion, but desecrating the title was "a little bit tacky" and Paige should have known better than to film herself in such compromising positions anyway.
"I did see those [videos] because people, of course, sent me links." Sunny continued, "I saw them and it's like do I feel bad for her? Yeah, I mean, but no in a way because she took it upon herself to take those pictures. Anybody who takes pictures like this or video of that, you've got to you're assuming the risk that it's going to get out. I mean, normal people's pictures get out, so if you're a celebrity, you've got to expect this sooner or later."
With respect to the 25-Divas battle royal at WrestleMania 25, Sunny said she got out as quickly as possible because there were a lot of sloppy performers she wanted to avoid. Sunny claimed that Maryse nearly broke her nose.
"It was booked really poorly, as [are] a lot of things there. But I was all excited to do it, but I wasn't thrilled to be in a match girls that I knew really didn't know what they were doing."
Sunny recalled, "I was supposed to stay in till the ninth elimination, and I said, 'there's no way I'm staying in here this long with all these girls. No, I mean, back then, I watched some of them work and I'm like, 'oh my God! They're so clumsy somebody's going to break my nose.' So I was like, 'the sooner, the better,' so I was supposed to be eliminated ninth, and after we went over everything, I got with Victoria. I said, 'can I start with you because I know you're safe?' I had to do a little something with Maryse and she almost broke my nose. She was just supposed to sell for me and instead, I see a foot coming at my face, so I was like, 'what the hell are you even doing?' She was just supposed to sell. A little something with Maryse, the Bellas, and then Beth Phoenix was supposed to toss me. So basically, I shortened it as quickly as I could and it was about the fourth or the fifth elimination. I went over to Beth. I said, 'get me out of here. Please, just get me out of here.' She goes, 'already?' and I went, 'yes,' so we went into our quick little sequence, so she could eliminate me. But at least I was happy to work with Beth and Victoria, two people I trusted and avoided getting a foot to the face by people like Maryse."
When asked she has received any heat from WWE over her pornographic video, Sunny indicated that she has not and that is on good terms with the company.
"The company did not say one thing negative to me. I mean, I still talk to people in the company to this day about various things that I won't discuss on here, but not once has anybody given my s--t, from the company. They're not going to tell somebody, 'you can't do this and make a living to pay your bills'. I mean, nobody would do that."
According to Sunny, her adult video was a "one-time deal" and the first Diva has no plans for doing more porn in the future.
"Before we even film that one, they were starting to throw ideas at me for another one. I'm like, 'no, this is just a one-time thing for me. It's not becoming my regular job.' Do you know what I mean. To me, all it was was just a job, a payday. It's not something I aspire to do. It's not something I want to do full-time. It's probably not something I ever want to do again. But it was a payday, just like everything else in the [pro] wrestling business, it was a payday. That's all it was."
Although Sunny does not intend on returning to porn, she acknowledged that she sometimes regrets not posing for Playboy in her prime, though she said it was not the right time for her when it was offered.
"Now, yeah. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. See, when it was offered to me, I was 23. I was very shy at the time. You wouldn't know it from, like, bikini photos and lingerie layouts and stuff like that." Sunny reflected, "as far as the Playboy thing, yeah, I was too young. I was too, believe it or not, I was too shy. I was a little bit too timid to do that. And it just wasn't something that I was ready to do. When Vince told me about it, he brought me in for a meeting about it, into the office and it took me a whole five minutes to say 'no, I can't do this.' Like, I didn't even go home and think about it."
Sunny said that she did not sell her WWE Hall Of Fame ring and it was just a publicity stunt she pulled through TMZ to promote her video.
"Everything in this business and revolving around this business is a work. The whole ring thing, it was a publicity stunt thought of by me and Steven Hirsch from Vivid [Entertainment Group] just to get publicity for selling the movie. That was it. That was all it was. It was a publicity stunt we got TMZ to do because that's the best way get anything out there to the media and that's all it was. My ring is locked up in a safe in the next room right now." Sunny added, "I don't need to sell my ring to pay anything. That's not how it works."
As for Sunny's issues with Sable, the former Bodydonna professed that she had nothing to do with the lawsuit between Sable and WWE and that she did not volunteer to assist WWE.
"Not that I recall. I didn't have anything to do with that lawsuit." Sunny said, "that lawsuit happened way after I left the [pro wrestling] business and I didn't associate myself with her at all when I was there or after, so, no, I had nothing to do with the lawsuit she was having with them. Nothing at all."
In Sunny's view, everybody had problems with Sable and she and Marlena, also known as Terri Runnels, did not like her from the get-go. As the story goes, on Sable's first day with WWE, Sunny and Terri Runnels returned to their locker room to find their belongings moved to the floor and Sable's stuff in its place.
"Everybody had problems with her. I wasn't the only one." Sunny said, "she was just ignorant. She wasn't friendly. She came in [and] she acted like she owned the place. Who comes in, who goes into the locker room and moves somebody else's stuff off the table and puts yours out when it's your very first time there? You don't do that. So she rubbed us the wrong way to begin with and from that day on neither of us liked her at all. We just kind of had to deal with her the best that we could."
Also, Sunny recalled Sable saying that she was glad her first husband died because she never would have met her then-husband, Marc Mero, if he had not passed away.
"She goes, 'oh, he died when [Rena's daughter, Mariah] was just a baby and I go, 'oh my God, I'm so sorry to hear that - that's terrible' because that was her husband too, her husband and baby's father. And this is what she said and Terri and I could not believe our ears. She goes, 'no, that was the best thing that could've happened.' She said, first of all, he died in a car accident and she said 'it was the best thing that ever happened to me. If he never would have died, I never would have met Marc.' Terri and I looked at each other like, 'she did not just say that.' She said, 'it's the best thing that ever happened to me because if he never would have died, I never would have met Marc.' This is her husband and the father of her child and she was happy he died, so she had the chance to meet Marc Mero." Sunny added, "we looked at each other like, 'oh my God!' God help this woman because she is just evil to the core. She is just not a nice person."

Philosophy and Approach
We don't think we can beat the market, nor do we try to. We focus on the drivers of investment returns that we do control: taxes, fees, liquidity, exposure to market risk, and exposure to inflation risk.
Discretionary Investment Management
If you choose to delegate day-to-day investment decisions to us, we will invest your accounts in a portfolio of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and publicly-traded securities based on your goals, preferences, and current situation. Before executing any trades, we would agree on a target asset allocation based on your willingness and ability to accept market risk. By setting a strategy in advance and taking responsibility for implementation, we believe we help our clients avoid emotionally-driven decisions as markets fluctuate.
Our investment strategies are customized to each client's situation; we do not use off-the-shelf model portfolios. We find most of our clients come to us with constraints that require a more tailored approach than model portfolios provide.
We seek to implement each client's investment strategy with a view toward long-term tax efficiency. We choose the optimal location for each asset across the client's taxable and tax-advantaged accounts. We trade infrequently and, when we do, we look to minimize the tax consequences, often by focusing trading in tax-advantaged accounts. In taxable accounts, we look for opportunities for tax-loss harvesting (selling individual holdings at a loss) and tax-gain harvesting (increasing the tax basis of holdings when advantageous).
We carefully manage liquidity so clients can access the funds they need while boosting yield on funds they will not need to access in the near-to-medium term.
Consistent with our investment philosophy, we use broadly-diversified, low-cost mutual funds and exchange-traded funds as key building blocks for our client portfolios, including products from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. Our discretionary client accounts are held in custody by TD Ameritrade Institutional.
Non-Discretionary Investment Advice
We offer two investment strategies on a non-discretionary basis. For these strategies, we offer full-service advice, recommendations, and support, but you make the final decisions on specific investments.
Private investments
We can help you source, evaluate and manage private investments, such as closely held businesses, angel investments, private equity funds, and hedge funds. We do not manage private investments on a discretionary basis.
Real estate
We can help you evaluate, execute and manage real estate investments, including direct investments (e.g., buying an apartment building), syndicated deals (e.g., joining a partnership to acquire or develop real estate), and lending (e.g., providing capital to a developer in exchange for a fixed rate of return). We do not manage real estate investments on a discretionary basis.

, SecurityFocus 2003-08-19
The Slammer worm penetrated a private computer network at Ohio's Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in January and disabled a safety monitoring system for nearly five hours, despite a belief by plant personnel that the network was protected by a firewall, SecurityFocus has learned.The breach did not pose a safety hazard. The troubled plant had been offline since February, 2002, when workers discovered a 6-by-5-inch hole in the plant's reactor head. Moreover, the monitoring system, called a Safety Parameter Display System, had a redundant analog backup that was unaffected by the worm. But at least one expert says the case illustrates a growing cybersecurity problem in the nuclear power industry, where interconnection between plant and corporate networks is becoming more common, and is permitted by federal safety regulations.
The Davis-Besse plant is operated by FirstEnergy Corp., the Ohio utility company that's become the
The incident at the plant is described in an April e-mail to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) from FirstEnergy, and in a similarly-worded March safety advisory distributed privately throughout the industry over the "Nuclear Network," an information-sharing program run by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. The March advisory was issued to "alert the industry to consequences of Internet Worms and Viruses on Plant Computer Systems," according to the text.
The reports paint a sobering picture of cybersecurity at FirstEnergy.
The Slammer worm entered the Davis-Besse plant through a circuitous route. It began by penetrating the unsecured network of an unnamed Davis-Besse contractor, then squirmed through a T1 line bridging that network and Davis-Besse's corporate network. The T1 line, investigators later found, was one of multiple ingresses into Davis-Besse's business network that completely bypassed the plant's firewall, which was programmed to block the port Slammer used to spread.
"This is in essence a backdoor from the Internet to the Corporate internal network that was not monitored by Corporate personnel," reads the April NRC filing by FirstEnergy's Dale Wuokko. "[S]ome people in Corporate's Network Services department were aware of this T1 connection and some were not."
Users noticed slow performance on Davis-Besse's business network at 9:00 a.m., Saturday, January 25th, at the same time Slammer began hitting networks around the world. From the business network, the worm spread to the plant network, where it found purchase in at least one unpatched Windows server. According to the reports, plant computer engineers hadn't installed the patch for the MS-SQL vulnerability that Slammer exploited. In fact, they didn't know there was a patch, which Microsoft released six months before Slammer struck.
Operators Burdened
By 4:00 p.m., power plant workers noticed a slowdown on the plant network. At 4:50 p.m., the congestion created by the worm's scanning crashed the plant's computerized display panel, called the Safety Parameter Display System.
An SPDS monitors the most crucial safety indicators at a plant, like coolant systems, core temperature sensors, and external radiation sensors. Many of those continue to require careful monitoring even while a plant is offline, says one expert. An SPDS outage lasting eight hours or more requires that the NRC be notified.
At 5:13 p.m., another, less critical, monitoring system called the "Plant Process Computer" crashed. Both systems had redundant analog backups that were unaffected by the worm, but, "The unavailability of the SPDS and the PPC was burdensome on the operators," notes the March advisory.
It took four hours and fifty minutes to restore the SPDS, six hours and nine minutes to get the PPC working again.
FirstEnergy declined to elaborate on the incident. The company has become the focus of an investigation into last week's northeastern U.S. blackout. Though the full cause of the blackout has yet to be determined, investigators have reportedly found that it began when an Ohio high-voltage transmission line "tripped" after sagging into a tree. An alarm system that was part of FirstEnergy's Energy Management System failed to warn operators at the company's control center that the line had failed.
Asked if last week's "Blaster" worm might have had a hand in the alarm system failure, just as Slammer disabled the Davis-Besse safety display panel, FirstEnergy spokesman Todd Schneider said, "We're investigating everything right now."
"I have not heard of anything like that," added Schneider. "The alarm system was the only system that was not functioning."
SCADA Issues
The Davis-Besse incident was not Slammer's only point of impact on the electric industry. According to a document
A SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system consists of central host that monitors and controls smaller Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) sprinkled throughout a plant, or in the field at key points in an electrical distribution network. The RTUs, in turn, directly monitor and control various pieces of equipment.
In a second case reported in the same document, a power company's SCADA traffic was blocked because it relied on bandwidth leased from a telecommunications company that fell prey to the worm.
Reports on the effect of last week's Blaster worm on the electric grid, if any, have yet to emerge.
The Slammer attacks came after years of warnings about the
"[T]he distinct trend within the industry is to link the systems to access control center data necessary for business purposes," reads the report. "One utility interviewed considered the business value of access to the data within the control center worth the risk of open connections between the control center and the corporate network."
Future Safety Concerns
An energy sector cybersecurity expert who's reviewed nuclear plant networks, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the trend of linking operations networks with corporate LANs continues unabated within the nuclear energy industry, because of the economic benefits of giving engineers easy access to plant data. An increase in plant efficient of a couple percentage points "can translate to millions upon millions of dollars per year," says the expert.
He says Slammer's effect on Davis-Besse highlights the dangers of such interconnectivity.
Currently, U.S. nuclear plants generally have digital systems monitoring critical plant operations, but not controlling them, said the expert. But if an intruder could tamper with monitoring systems like Davis-Besse's SPDS, which operators are accustomed to trusting, that could increase the risk of an accident.
Moreover, the industry is moving in the direction of installing digital controls that would allow for remote operation of plant functions, perhaps within a few years, if the NRC approves it. "This is absolutely unacceptable without drastic changes to plant computer networks," says the expert. "If a non-intelligent worm can get in, imagine what an intruder can do."
Jim Davis, director of operations at the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry association, says those concerns are overblown. "If you break all the connections and allow no data to pass from anywhere to anywhere, you've got great security -- but why'd you put the digital systems in the first place?," says Davis.
Davis says the industry learned from the Davis-Besse incident, but that the breach didn't prove that connections between plant and corporate networks can't be implemented securely. "You can put a well-protected read-only capability on a data stream that provides you reasonable assurance that nobody can come back down that line to the control system," says Davis.
Last year the NEI formed a task force to develop updated cybersecurity management guidelines for the industry. The results -- which will be secret -- are expected within a few months. As part of a research effort earlier this year, the NEI's task force worked with the NRC and a contractor to review cybersecurity at four nuclear power plants. The details of the review are classified as "Safeguards" material, but Davis says the investigation found no serious problems. "There are no issues that generate a public health and safety concern," says Davis.
"Sometime people get very anxious about digital systems and what you could or couldn't do with digital systems, but in lots of cases you've got switches and valves and little override buttons on this thing and that thing that could cause a component to shut down as quickly as any digital system," Davis says.
Despite the Slammer breach, FirstEnergy was apparently not in violation of NRC's limited, and aging, cybersecurity regulations. For its part, the commission wouldn't comment on the incident. The NRC has faced fierce criticism for

Did Ron Paul Win Even One Supporter?
It is interesting to look at the Ron Paul caucus results from the states that have already battled the GOP in order to affirm that the "crazy" Ron Paul is indeed the man that they wish to be their next president, but one has to take those caucus results with an understanding about the true forces at play in trying to get the Texas senator elected as the Republican nominee in 2012. It is even more interesting to look at the little pockets of liberty that exist everywhere and that have become even more relevant when reading the Ron Paul Guam caucus results for 2012. Guam is one of those pockets of liberty that could have been an extremely important stand in this election cycle because their small population can give them an edge if the caucuses were held fairly. The rules are rigged against anyone outside the elite ruling class, but perhaps this can be considered the first true Ron Paul win even though Mitt Romney officially walked away with the delegates.
The unicorporated territory of Guam is an interesting political scene to read due to their unique situation and this shows in the Ron Paul Guam results. For one, there is a single representative elected to represent Guam to the United States House of Representatives, and even that position is a non-voting one. In much the same way, the people and citizens of Guam have a say in the party nomination process through the Guam Caucus 2012, but the results can not be carried over into the actual election in November because it is there that the people of Guam are not allowed to vote. The island in the Pacific also holds the Guam Democratic Territorial Convention for the opposing party, and in 2008 it was a farely close contest between Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton with Obama squeezing out a majority by 0.2 %. There were 4,521 votes recorded and 9 delegates sent to the convention. The Guam Republican caucuses 2008 saw less votes with only 2,934 votes tallied. Amazingly, Ron Paul received no votes in that contest with John Mccain and Mike Huckabee taking 60 and 40 percent respectively. Seems quite odd that Paul was unable to get even one vote in that territory in 2008 and failed again in 2012.
So it seems Guam is a Democratic-leaning non-state and this is evidence by the House Representative Madeleine Z. Bordallo. She is a democrat although Guam Governor Eddie Talvo and Lt Governor Ray Tenorio are both Republicans. Ron Paul, hopefully, won't need a recount after the Gaum Caucus results 2012. It is interesting that the Guam caucus was moved until after Super Tuesday, many people don't even know Guam exists, much less that their vote actually counts the same amount as two mainland votes from Florida citizens. Perhaps, pushing it until after Super Tuesday is a way to keep that out of the mainstream, but the truth is already out.

How many times have you stumbled upon a man in the street, who was desperately trying to sell you something, be it a book or a pack of cookies? What were your emotions from such encounter? Did you buy anything? I'm pretty sure the answer is no. The disease of trying to sell everything to everyone is typical not only of street sellers, but also of many Magento stores. And there's only one cure from it – Magento customer segmentation. Well, some might argue that it's an advanced search that works for customer retention best. Well, yes, but to make it work properly, you need to know who you sell to and how to attract them. This makes customer segmentation the only cure indeed.
What is customer segmentation?
Customer segmentation is about telling the right things to the right people. The clue to success is to tell your customers what they want to hear, be the one who creates positive customer experience, not the one who takes it for granted. To do this, just divide all your customers into the corresponding groups in according to their buying habits, personal information and lifestyles. You will see how much easier is to manage the group of like-minders to achieve your marketing goals and make them happy with your service.
What information do I need?
The old rule "Those who have information rule the world" works as well in online marketing. There are plenty of factors you can use as the basis for Magento customer segmentation. All of them can be divided in to three general groups:
- Demographic
Name, gender, age, address, occupation, date of birth, social class, phone number, e-mail, etc.
- Psychographic
Interests, values, lifestyle, culture preferences, religion, etc.
- Behavioristic
Activities and habits of online stores usage.
The better you understand, who are the customers that buy at your store, the easier it is be for you to tailor to your customers' needs WHAT you sell and HOW you sell it. Another useful technique is to divide all your current customers into the following 5 groups.
Figure out, who are the majority of those who make purchases at your store. What is important for them: Brand? Cost? Convenient shipping? It goes without saying that the aim for the majority of online stores is to attract and keep as many high-spenders as possible. But this is not the only option: you can ground your marketing strategy on attracting vast amounts of frequent cheap buyers or on preserving regular customers, who value a good balance between prices and services. But before you launch all those marketing efforts, you wouldn't do without proper Magento customer segmentation.
How to get information for customer segmentation?
Owners of online Magento stores have a great advantage in comparison with offline retailers, since they have a vast amount of information at their disposal. Just install a special extension that allows creating Magento custom registration forms and add as many fields for analysis as you need. How many times during the registration you were asked your marital status or date of birth. Such Magento custom fields don't create any tension, but at the same time supply store owners with priceless information about those, who visit their stores.
[pullquote]Offer a coupon code for answering 10 simple questions and you will kill two birds with one stone[/pullquote]: encourage them to visit your store and get some psychometric data for your research. Regular surveys are one of the most efficient ways to learn what is on your customers' minds.
One more thing that shouldn't be neglected is the way your registered customers behave at your Magento store. You can take notice of some of the following factors:
- Percentage of abandoned/removed carts or additions to them;
- Amount of product page views;
- Choice of shipping rates;
- Usage of promotional codes;
- Preferred payment methods;
- Onsite search.
Customer behavior at your Magento store provides you with a number of tips for enhancing shopping experience. For example, if your customer has viewed the product page of a certain product 5 times and still hasn't bought it, why don't you provide him with a 5% coupon code for the purchase? Coupon will also work well for the customers who had abandoned their carts, but came back to your site. Suggest them finishing the purchase with paying a little less. And don't forget about such classic techniques as sending more coupons to frequent discount users and using onsite search statistics for demand study.
Magento customer segmentation is a must for those who want to achieve more with their online stores. To begin with start with gathering these 3 types of information:
1. Demographic
Take use of Magento custom registration forms and add some more questions about their address and date of birth. Use special extension for creating such forms.
2. Psychographic
Learn what is important for your customers and what they are interested in by conducting surveys once in a while.
3. Behavioristic
Check how your customers behave at your website to provide them with slight pushes towards the purchase and enhancing their customer experience.
After you know enough, divide all your customers into sections in accordance with the table above in order to figure out what acquisition channels will work best for your business model.

In July 2013 we achieved the Investors in Pupils Award. It is a charter mark award designed to develop pupils' responsibility and participation in their own education. This exciting award is based around 5 key areas in school: attendance; classroom management; learning; behaviour and induction. The aim is to empower all pupils, increase their motivation and contribute to raising their achievement. The information below explains some of the ways in which our pupils and staff worked to achieve this:
Investors in Pupils Board
In every classroom in the school, you will see a display of individual pupil targets, which are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound). These are displayed in a variety of ways throughout the year groups (e.g. frogs on lily pads, rockets, water bubbles) and move as pupils are working towards achieving them. All pupils were given time to choose their academic and personal target and aim to achieve them at least every half term. There is also a class target and reward displayed which may be achieved weekly or over a half term and a class 'mission statement'.
Induction Booklet
Each class has designed and produced an 'induction booklet'. This contains all information needed for new pupils, including general school information and information that is specific to that class to help welcome a new pupil to Saltersgate Junior School and help them to settle in quickly.
Pupil Rules and Responsibilities
As Investors in Pupils, all pupils are expected to take responsibility within their class and school. Some jobs require the pupils to fill out an application form and undertake an interview. These are a small selection of the types of jobs pupils might do: handing out registers, watering plants, tidying the bookshelf in the class or library, helping in the office during lunch time and being lunch time assistants in the dining hall.
'Investors' is about children taking control of their learning.
We believe that taking part in the programme helps our children achieve high standards in their education and equips them with important life skills.
Budget Challenge
Every class has been given their own budget of £50 to spend on anything they want or need over the year. This could be something for the classroom e.g new pens, glue sticks, rulers, paint or something else...
BUT ...There is a catch!!!!!
Members of the Investors in Pupils consultation group have created a price list for things that get regularly damaged, wasted or go missing in each class. The cost of these damaged, wasted or lost items will be deducted from the class budget of £50. In July 2014, whatever money each class has left is theirs to use as they wish on a treat e.g. CDs, wet play board games, a class picnic, craft products, DVDs or whatever all the children agree on.
Mrs Oxer looks forward to seeing if each class can keep their £50 to spend at the end of the year!
Learning about the roles of staff in school
In order to meet the Investors in Pupils standard, children learnt to be more aware of the roles adults play in their learning, how school finances work and what money is spent on and the different responsibilities staff have in order to make our school the best place for children.
To help children learn about different staff roles in school, staff and governors led assemblies where they talked about their roles in school and had a question and answer session with all the children. Members of the Investors in Pupils consultation group also interviewed and filmed staff which was played in whole school assemblies.

Need assistance to determine confirmation of a possible transient in Ser. Two photos taken on July 9, 2014 at 03:33 (U. T.) and 03:36 (U. T.). Each photographic exposure was exactly 1 minute 20 seconds. Used a Canon Rebel XS at F/4.5, 34.0mm, ISO 1600, jpeg file. Moonlight and haze in the atmosphere washed out much of the photos but was able to use Adobe Photo Elements software to clean up the images. Transient found on both photos. Position (close approximate) R.A. 18h 18m, Dec. -05d 14m. Photographic magnitude about +8.6. Used HIP 89391 +8.00, HIP 89627 +9.00 and HIP 89780 +8.45 as comparison stars (Comp. star mags. taken from Stellarium planetarium software 0.12.1). Attempted to visually view the same area and take additional photographs on the evening of July 9, 2014 and morning of July 10, 2014. Bright moonlight and weather conditions prevented. Thanks for your help.
Transient in Ser needs confirmation
In Ken Beckmann's posting on his possible transient in Ser, the times were originally given as 05:33 and 05:36 UT. They should be 03:33 and 03:36 UT. Ken's posting has been corrected so all the pertinent information in one place is correct.
Many thanks for your efforts in trying to confirm this awkwardly-placed possible transient!
Good observing,
Elizabeth Waagen, AAVSO HQ
Unfortunately it is overcast here in Budapest :(
I've just alerted a Portughese observer, who said it is clear in Portugal now. I hope he can catch it.
Btw can you upload an image?
Clear skies,
Attached are two images from Ken Beckmann showing the field of the possible transient in Ser. The file BeckmannJuly3.jpg shows the area on July 3 with nothing at the position of the possible transient. The file BeckmannPhoto2.jpg shows the area on July 9 with the possible transient marked.
The original image has very large FOV. According Astrometry:
Center (RA, hms): 18h 35m 04.426s
Center (Dec, dms): -01° 13' 41.552"
Size: 11.4 x 11.4 deg
Radius: 8.057 deg
Pixel scale: 34 arcsec/pixel
This night the Moon is very close to the FOV - about 15 deg but I tried to catch the object. I can not confirm any object as bright as +8.6 in the coordinates about RA: 18 18 00, Dec -05 14 00. See attached image: 30 sec in G.
Hi All,
I can add that there is no transient suspect visible in Ic band to at least 11.5 within a 7 arc-min radius of the reported location as imaged with iTel7 in Spain at the time mentioned below.
IRAS 18153-0517 is within 2.65 arc-min and appears about Ic = 11.0 a couple of hours ago at July 10.877 UT.

This week we had another 'First Tuesday Coffee House Meeting'. Only three of us but it was a really useful chat.
In terms of Module Two: we talked about trying out different types of 'something' when doing pilots – not just piloting 'an interview' but if you think you are likely to use interview as a tool in module three, then trying doing different types of interview. On SKYPE, in person, on phone, with open-ended questions, with set questions etc…
We talked about finding a range of key words as you think about what is important to your inquiry into for instance:
Sarah is thinking about 'motivation' and we added the words 'inspiration' and 'passion', which was the way Sarah was thinking about motivation.
In terms of Module One and onwards: we talked about how useful Journaling is for capturing ideas. How at first you might want to make neat organised journals but after using that tool for a while it becomes a place for thoughts that manifest in a range of ways – including pictures, drawings, and writing around the edges of the page!!
We talked about thinking about 'what has made a difference to my practice' as a theme to question yourself as you submit work for evaluation in May.
We said that the 'First Tuesday Coffee House Meetings' were useful because it is nice to talk across modules and also to have a conversation that can wander or has no aim at the beginning but is built from all the people in the group contributing.
The next 'First Tuesday Coffee House Meeting will be May 7th hope you can join us.

Team captain Suzanne Edwards is one of six seniors on the Liberty squad this season.
The Liberty women's soccer team will open its 2007 season at Clemson this afternoon at 5 p.m. A season preview follows.
As the curtain lifts on the 2007 season, the Liberty women's soccer team, the Big South Conference preseason favorite to capture its fourth conference crown, will field a deep and talented team in 2007. Led by seniors Suzanne Edwards, a 2006 first-team All-Big South member, and Tanya Payne, a 2005 first-team All-Big South selection, the Lady Flames return 14 letterwinners from last season's Big South runners-ups. Along with the pair of seniors, all-conference first-team member and top returning scorer, Amy Oberlin, defender Brittany Tyson, forward Brittney Bench and 2006 Big South All-Freshman picks, Maggie Woody and Heather Bowling, return for another season. Add Ashley Braam, Rachel Hetrick, Hope West and Ally Erving, who are all back from injury, and the Lady Flames' core of game-experienced players returns intact. "It really doesn't make any difference to us," stated Liberty Head Coach James Price, when asked about being picked as the conference's top team for 2007. "Every game is tough and we don't mention it. It doesn't really change how we prepare for anybody. "Our girls are pretty focused on the task at hand. I know it is a cliche, but we are taking one game at a time. We are concerned about preparing for the game in front of us, and know if we win the game, the wins will mount up over the year. At the end of the season, if we win more than we lose, then we had a pretty good season. "We go into every game planning to outwork our opponent, and that philosophy is not going to change. No matter who you play, if you can outwork them, you have a chance to win." Along with the squad's experience and lunch-bucket work ethic, Price says a renewed hunger for a return to their third-straight Big South Championship final is another driving force for the Lady Flames. "We came together at the end of last year and were able to get back to the [Big South] final, but came up short, remarked Price. "It was disappointing. What that does is make our kids hungry again. They don't want to experience that feeling of defeat in the final again. "The team's combination of experience and hunger is a good combination to have. It should take us a long way." A look at this season's squad by position follows. GOALKEEPER The Liberty net will be minded by a different face for the second-straight year. Last season, Katherine Neff had a solid year as the Lady Flames' keeper, but vacated the job after her graduation this May. Despite her departure, Price believes the Liberty net will be just fine, in the capable hands of freshman Ashley Nyholt and returner Lauren Khamphuis. "Ashley is a polished goalkeeper. She has played a lot of soccer and has a lot of experience," commented Price. "She doesn't really have a weakness. The only thing she lacks is college-level experience, but our girls are already confident with her back there." "Lauren has come a long way and is pushing for playing time. She is very athletic and matches Ashley in shot blocking, but still needs to work on her game management. She had a great spring, and if there is an injury, she will be a quite capable backup." Newcomer Dani D'Amico completes the Liberty net trio. DEFENSE The defensive unit has always been a strong suit of Price's Liberty teams, and with several veterans returning, the Lady Flames should continue the tradition in 2007. Last season, the Liberty posted a 1.07 goals-against-average, the second-lowest in school history, and recorded eight shutouts. "We have some good experience and athleticism back there," commented Price. "I think our athleticism makes us different from a lot of teams. We are very athletic all the way across [the back]." After an outstanding season in 2006, in which she was named to the Big South all-conference first team, team captain Edwards returns for her final season with the Lady Flames. Also, a first-team VaSID All-State performer, Liberty went 7-3-2 and posted a 0.79 goals-against-average and six shutouts in her 12 starts last season. Returning to Edwards' right side is Tyson. The junior played in 17 contests with 12 starts in 2006 and, according to Price, possesses all the tools to be a top defender. Junior Rachel Wisehart is expected to fill the other center position on defense, while junior Emily House or sophomore Christina McDonald will man the left outside spot. Freshman Alyssa Andersen could also see time as a defender. MIDFIELDER A deep and experienced corps will once again patrol the Liberty midfield this season. "We have a good mixture of young and veteran players in our midfield," remarked Price. "A lot of our players there have experience, which can only help." Leading the way in the Lady Flame midfield is Oberlin. The junior tied for the team scoring lead in 2006 with 13 points on five goals and three assists, earning her first team All-Big South honors. Oberlin will be joined by Bowling and Woody, who come off successful freshmen campaigns. Bowling started all 14 games she played last year, while Woody played in 15 contests with eight starts, and both players earned Big South All-Freshman team recognition. Price believes junior returnee Mallory Neff, who has been bothered by injuries the past two seasons, could have a big year in 2007. Neff closed out last season by earning all-tournament honors, with a goal and two assists in the 2006 Big South Championship. She enters her junior year coming off strong play this summer in the W-League. The group will also receive a boost with the addition of Payne and the return of Hope West from injury. Payne, who was a defender the past two years, moves to midfield for her final season at Liberty. In 2005 as a sophomore, Payne was an all-conference first team member and netted five markers. Meanwhile, West returns to the Lady Flame roster after sitting out the entire year in 2006. The junior played in all 21 games with 18 starts during Liberty's 2005 Big South Championship run. Junior Carly Miller and freshmen Laura Nyholt and Ashley Gibson round out the Lady Flames' midfield unit. FORWARDS Up front, the Lady Flames will rely on several veterans this season in order to supply offensive punch. "We have a lot of options there," stated Price when discussing the group. "We have speed, height and skill. Whatever we need up there, we have at our disposal. It is just up to us coaches to decide what the right mix is. "They have to prove themselves every day. We don't have two forwards we rely for everything. For now, it is going to be done by committee. "I would love for two to step forward, but until they do so, we will rotate players there and figure out who is playing best." Braam and Hetrick's comebacks from injury have boosted the Lady Flames prospects at the position. Braam was Liberty's leading scorer and had tallied four goals and 10 points, before a knee injury sidelined her last season in Liberty's 11th game. Despite missing the last eight contests of the year, the senior still received a Big South all-conference second-team mention. Meanwhile, Hetrick returns after missing all of spring practice. The senior adds speed to the Lady Flames' front. During Liberty's championship run in 2005, Hetrick netted a career-high four goals. Besides the return of the two seniors, the Lady Flames hope to benefit from a healthy Erving. The redshirt-sophomore has been hampered by injury throughout her first two seasons at Liberty, but appears to be ready to go this year. The trio joins seniors Bench and Kendall Bartholomew, both who have logged significant minutes over their first three seasons with the Lady Flames. Bench earned all-tournament honors during the 2005 Big South Championship, while Bartholomew has been a key reserve off the Liberty bench during her time with the Lady Flames. Newcomers Maria Owen and Caitlyn Riley complete Liberty's forward unit. Both bring extensive soccer backgrounds into their first seasons as Lady Flames. SCHEDULE The Lady Flames have a challenging slate set for them in 2007, featuring the team's first-ever trip to Arizona. Of the squad's 17 regular-season contests, Liberty will play nine of its matches at Liberty Soccer Field. The Lady Flames' 2007 home schedule begins on Sept. 15 with a visit by Old Dominion. Price's club will also host VMI, Winthrop, Radford and Coastal Carolina in Big South Conference tilts in Lynchburg. Liberty opens the year on the road, Friday afternoon, at Clemson, No. 19 in the preseason. The Lady Flames will also visit No. 17 Virginia (9/21) in late September. In addition, Liberty will travel to Arizona to participate in the Northern Arizona High Altitude Tournament, where the Lady Flames will meet the host Lumberjacks (9/7) and UC Irvine (9/9). Highlighting the conference road schedule is a late October date with UNC Asheville (10/31). The Lady Flames and Bulldogs played to two 0-0 ties last season, with UNC Asheville claiming the Big South Championship on penalty kicks in their second meeting. "The Big South is a very scrappy league," noted Price about the conference. "All the teams are about even and there isn't an easy game. Every one is tough." After the finish of their regular season at home against South Dakota St. (11/3), the Lady Flames will travel to Charleston, S.C., in search of their fourth Big South crown at the 2007 Big South Women's Soccer Championship (11/8-11).

Care Instructions
Care: When you pick out your favorite case goods and take them home with you, you want to take care of these pieces and ensure that they will last in your home for many years. The first thing you should do is keep your case goods out of direct sunlight. This helps protect the surfaces from humidity and heat.
Get into the habit of using a soft dust-free cloth for routine maintenance in order to remove the accumulation of dust. Do not use any furniture cleaners or abrasives. This can damage the finish of the piece.
Keeping these things in mind will help you keep your furniture looking its best for years to come.Warranty Information

It's that time of year—the five-week period when people who could not care less about horse racing the other 47 weeks of the year suddenly become experts in animal husbandry, gambling and stupid hats.
Yes, the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby is almost here and for today at least, I will be one of those experts. You see, I like to play the ponies once in awhile, but I simply don't have time to "research" and "learn" the intricacies of thoroughbred racing and/or parimutuel betting. So I've developed a system based on analysis of historical trends, thin-slicing of available information and whichever horse's name I like the best. Oh, and pure raw guesswork. That seems to be what works best for me.
So let's examine the field and see if we can pick a winner. Odds are current as of Friday afternoon.
50-1: Mine That Bird, Join In The Dance, Atomic Rain, Summer Bird, Nowhere To Hide, Flying Private
It's easiest to break down them down by group and eliminate the sure losers first. For example, don't take a horse named after a bird. If you're going to bet a long shot, take Atomic Rain, because Atomic Rain sounds like the name of a crappy metal band that thinks it's hardcore, but prefers to play Motley Crue covers. Plus, rain that is atomic would be like ... awesome.
30-1: West Side Bernie, Mr. Hot Stuff, Advice, Regal Ransom
I'm sorry, if you work at Churchill Downs and someone comes to you and says I would like to enter my horse in the Derby and you ask what the horse's name is and he says "Mr. Hot Stuff" ... you should slap that person in the face with a leather glove and then give them a wedgie. This is the fuckin' Derby, not playtime for Barbie's friend Skipper. Avoid all these horses like the plague.
20-1: Musket Man, Papa Clem, Chocolate Candy, General Quarters
These are what as known as value bets, because bets that never get paid off create great value for the house. General Quarters is the sentimental favorite and lots of bettors will be loading up on him tomorrow, because the odds are long enough to fool people into thinking they can make a big score, but not so long that they look like a total moron who is just throwing money away. (But they are throwing their money way.) If you feel you must take a chance on one of these, take Musket Man to Show because he drinks Guinness.
15-1: Hold Me Back, Desert Party
You might be tempted to pick Kent Desormeaux because you have heard his name before, but don't do that. The jockey is irrelevant. They can't make the horse run faster than he's able to and the best they can do is just not screw it up and ride him into a lake or something. Sure, experts will tell you about a jockey's ability to navigate tough alleys and control the pace, but we all know they are pretty much just along for the ride at this point. Don't let a famous name confuse your well-honed instincts about a sport you don't understand.
Now the favorites:
5-1: Friesan Fire
4-1: Dunkirk
4-1: Pioneer Of The Nile
3-1: I Want Revenge
Pioneer of the Nile is just too fancy and complicated a name to ever belong to a champion. Dunkirk sounds regal, but is actually the name of the world's most famous retreat, so that hardly inspires confidence. People seem to like I Want Revenge, but everytime I hear the name I always think of that mediocre indie band "She Wants Revenge" and I just couldn't bring myself to root for that. You go with your gut on these things—that's where all the great gamblers earn their keep!—and my gut is telling me that I would like a soft pretzel without too much salt. Friesan Fire is short, punchy, and doesn't make much sense. At a reasonable 5-1, that sounds like a Derby Winner to me.
My Superfecta:
Win: Friesan Fire
Place: Desert Party
Show: Dunkirk
Fourth: I Want Revenge
Bonus bet: Don't drink Mint Juleps tomorrow. They're terrible.

Alaska Fishing Report
Karluk River, Kodiak Island
August 2006
[Upon returning from a week at the Karluk Riverside Camp, Dan Littleton sends us this report – Ed.]
Here is the straight scoop;
- Fishing was fantastic
- We had an unmatched experience in just seeing that many Pink salmon / catching "many-many-many" was just a bonus / there was literally 250,000 fish in one hole
- We caught sockeye salmon & pink on fly gear
- We started complete pandemonium in the village when I and one of my sons caught three really nice Halibut off the beach on spinners on salmon gear (ask Ronnie about it next time you get a chance to call) / we definitely left the lore of the "Littleton party" behind us
- We were treated to something special by Ronnie and his grandson (also Ronnie) when they took us in their skiff's down the beach to a nearby river that will remain nameless because I'm not sure that they want to mention it / my perception is that no one gets to go there except for the locals. At this river we found a brilliant school of large coho and did partake of some fantastic spinner action on light tackle.
- The people were fantastic
- The place was great
- Betty's cooking was wonderful
We are fisherman that appreciate the excellent hospitality and wonderful people that our hosts were. Please tell them thank you again for us!
We'll be back, but probably not next year because we have other places to return to that we did not do this year.
Thanks again.

Bodyweight Workout Level 2 – Burn Fat, Lose Weight
Bodyweight Workout Level-2 is a step-up from Level 1 and designed to challenge your body by taking up the workout intensity a notch.
If you are an absolute beginner, begin with our Beginner's Body Weight Workout Level 1 before advancing to this Level 2.
After you completed Level 1 and are up for a challenge, try this advanced bodyweight workout plan.
perform it in a circuit workout by completing all the moves with little to no rest in between. Aim 3-4 sets.
It's great to have a goal in mind and feel good to over achieve it, but there is actually no good in doing exercises improperly.
Make performing each exercise correctly your first priority. Once you start to break your form, stop and rest.
This Level 2 workout is more intense in all aspects.
Exercises are more challenging and require a higher level of balance, endurance and strength.
Exercise variables for this plan are also taken up a notch. Repetitions are up to 10-15 and sets are up to 3-4.
If you have read our strength training exercise variable articles, you may notice the way we increased intensity was the opposite of how we intensified this body-weight workout Level 2.
Here, we have increased both exercise repetitions and sets to further challenge your body.
In weight training, you can advanced exercises by going lower in repetitions and higher in sets. In other words, repetitions and sets had an inverse relationship.
In bodyweight training, repetition and set counts move in the same direction.
Why? It's because the weight we use stays the same in bodyweight training.
When the weight stays the same, increasing the workout volume is the way to go. (In addition to advancing the moves themselves).
Perform each exercise for 10-15 repetitions and complete 3-4 sets. Your goal for Side Plank is 60 second hold.
Again, it's better to complete 2-3 sets of exercises with proper form than 4 sets with incorrect form.
Pay attention to your form and alignment can go long ways when generating results.
Do this workout 2 to 3 days a week, with 1 day off between workouts.

The owners of the proposed Detroit MLS team released renderings of their proposed arena yesterday, and it looks just like a sketchily drawn soccer stadium. But more important, they revealed some of their financial and siting plans, and it's far more revealing of just what Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and Pistons owner Tom Gores are up to:
Billionaire Dan Gilbert and Pistons executive Arn Tellem announced plans today for a $1-billion investment at Wayne County's unfinished jail site for a 25,000-seat Major League Soccer stadium and other developments, including restaurants, hotel rooms, and a commercial office tower…
If the unfinished jail site can't be used, it's unlikely that MLS will seriously consider Detroit, [MLS commissioner Don] Garber and Gilbert both said.
"If you have a Plan B, it distracts from Plan A," Gilbert said. "There really is no Plan B."
The proposed site, in other words, doesn't involve any of the land that Gilbert already owns in downtown Detroit, but rather a prime parcel near the Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings venues that is currently home to a county jail complex that has gone way over budget. By announcing their designs on it for a soccer stadium — and getting Garber to deliver a "their way or the highway" message — Gilbert and Gores can use the desire for MLS (and for the ever popular "mixed-use development") as a way to stage a land grab for a potentially valuable downtown property. It's the Atlantic Yards model, in other words, though with a much cheaper sports facility as the hook.
So would it make sense for the city and county? Fortunately, county elected officials seem to be asking that question. Wayne County Executive Warren Evans said in order to do the deal, a new jail (plus courthouse) would have to be able to be built at the city and state's Mound Road site for no more than the estimated $175 million it would cost to finish the current jail plan. Evans didn't say anything about a fair price for the downtown land, but it's presumably on his mind: The county recently rejected a $50 million offer from Gilbert for the land, something that the soccer-plus-the-kitchen-sink proposal is no doubt designed to get the county thinking twice about.
In theory, there's nothing wrong with using centrally located land for sports and retail and hotels instead of for a jail — so long as there's no huge giveaway of public assets involved. Too often, cities that have been facing a long history of disinvestment and abandonment like Detroit end up fighting the last war once there's an uptick in interest from well-off newcomers in resettling the area, throwing money (or land and development rights that are worth money) at any developer offering a construction project rather than trying to see what its assets are really worth. (I'm just wrapped up writing a Brooklyn Wars chapter that addresses exactly this, so it's close to my mind.) Gilbert and Gores are clearly looking to dangle that "$1 billion investment" as an enticement to get the county to give them what they want at their price; how the county responds will go a long way toward determining the next stage of Detroit's problematic revival.
Oh, right, I promised you renderings, so let's do those now. There are fireworks and searchlights! (There are always fireworks and searchlights.)

What is motivebrowser.exe? Should I remove it?
motivebrowser.exe is an executable file that belongs to Verizon Online Motive Browser. This process is responsible for launching this program and other tasks. However, it's not an essential system's component, so you can remove if you want to. For that you should go simply uninstall Verizon Online Motive Browser.
There is a malicious motivebrowser.exe version spreading around, which is used by Trojan.Syginre. As soon as it is installed, it is used for loading main components of a virus and running a destructive payload. It is a significant part of a dangerous parasite, but it can also function on its own. If you have a malicious motivebrowser.exe file version on your computer, you must get rid of it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will continue helping Trojan.Syginre.
For checking motivebrowser.exe, you should use RegCure Pro. If it's a fraudulent version, make sure you remove it from the system.

Dutch master Miel from the duo Telmo Miel made a beautiful homage to our beloved mayor of Amsterdam Eberhard van der Laan. Two weeks ago, Van der Laan laid down his tasks due to health reasons. The mayor is loved by many because he is seen as the bridge builder between different people, cultures and religions in Amsterdam. Therefore, the message of his resigning came even harder.
The Amsterdam based Miel and Street Art Today joined forces to create a worthy ode for one of the most loved and respected mayors that the city of Amsterdam has ever known. The painting can be seen on the NDSM-wharf at the northern banks of the IJ-river.
UPDATE [6 October 2017]: This morning news broke that Eberhard van der Laan has passed away last night.

Every gamer is probably screaming " I want one too" on the upcoming AOC's Verfino 22-inch widescreen LCD monitor. Why not? It has a resolution of 1060×1050 with white LED-backlit LCD panel, industry-leading 100,000:1 dynamic contrast and 2-ms response time (g2g), HDMI input and stylish piano black finish with world's thinnest 18.5mm panel at its class.
The only downturn is the inferior viewing angles of 170/160, that's the lower class panel you could possible find in the market, but then there aren't any non-TN panel could have possibly achieved such numbers.
Additionally, the Verfino is also multimedia-packed with built-in speaker, microphone and a video cam. Its White LED backlight is mercury-free, get one when it available for the sake of environmental protection if not the features.
AOC will bring the V22 Verfino along with two other monitors to CES 2009, price is said to be affordable but we'll see.

Motorola has long been king of the mid-range selection here in the US, and the new Moto G6 continues that trend, mixing impressive specs like a 5.7" 1080p 18:9 display, dual-camera system, and Android 8.0 Oreo with an affordable price. That's why Ting and Android Police are teaming up to give away three brand new, unlocked Moto G6 phones.
This contest is now over.
The final results are listed below. If you've won, you will be contacted in the near future. Congratulations!
Everyone else - keep participating and stay tuned to Android Police so that you don't miss our upcoming giveaway announcements. You can follow AP on Twitter, Facebook, and RSS.
- Thomas Moneyhon
- Dave Sink
- Kyle Bush
For the uninitiated, Ting is an MVNO that uses both T-Mobile and Sprint to provide its subscribers with service—sort of like Google's Project Fi. Unlike Fi, though, it offers significantly more freedom in the devices it supports, with an incredibly wide and varied selection that includes Moto's recent G6, as well as Samsung's Galaxy S9, Google's Pixel 2, and even Apple's iPhones.
Ting isn't based on the dated concept of "plans." It simply lets you use your phone as you choose, and pay according to set rates for things like minutes, data, and SMS. If you're concerned about going over set personal limits, Ting even offers tools for granular control of your service. It has no contracts, no overages, and no tricks, and it's easy to see how much you'd save with their convenient rate calculator.
New customers to Ting can get $25 off the Moto G6 (or any other phone Ting sells). Android Police readers can get $25 off their phone bill if they bring their own phone, too.
The Moto G6 should be immediately familiar to our readers, but just in case you haven't heard the latest about Motorola's new budget lineup, we're happy to tell you all about it. The new G6 packs a power-sipping Snapdragon 450 into an expansive 5.7" 18:9 1080p-equivalent body, paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage, plus microSD expandability.
A dual camera rests top center to the phone's easily recognizable glass back, with the 2nd camera providing the necessary parallax for special effects like portrait mode. The 3,000mAh battery and "Turbo Power" fast-charging system ensure that you'll have plenty of power, plus an easy time topping things up via the updated USB-C port.
Interested? It's hard not to be. To enter this giveaway, you must have a US mailing address. Three winners will each receive one unlocked Moto G6. This contest will run until Friday, June 15th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. An additional bonus entry is available once per day, so remember to bookmark or keep the tab open so you can come back.
