Before all things…
Third in the series Adam to Abraham on Genesis 1-11
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said,… Genesis 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1-3
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete. 1 John 1:1-4
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Colossians 1:15-20
This might come as a shock to some of you, but Jesus did not make his first appearance in a feed trough in a lowly stable in tiny Bethlehem. Scripture makes abundantly clear that the Son existed before time and out of space with the Father. Jesus puts a face to the name of God. "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." (John 14:9) "Before Abraham was, I AM." (John 8:58)
No matter how we try, we cannot adequately explain the mystery of the Trinity – that the singular God exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Spirit. Our minds are too small to completely wrap around it. Much like an ant cannot fathom what a human being truly is. We see each other as entire persons, but from the ant's perspective, he only knows me as a giant wall of flesh. He cannot fathom my beginning or end.
So it is with our view of God. We know the revealed heart of Father God, we reflect on the historical Jesus, and we sense and respond to His Spirit within us and often around us. For some reason it works without our complete understanding. Frustrating for empiricists, I know. Oh well. I'm not God. I can't explain everything. I guess you just have to be there.
All this to say: don't be surprised that you see Jesus pop up throughout the Bible, in Genesis as well as John. It's not simply that he loves this planet he created along with this humongous universe that supplies its physical needs; it's that he wants to hang out with us.
He came to that world which was His own, but those people who were His own did not welcome Him. But to every one who welcomed Him, who recognized him for Who He truly was, he gave the authority to become the children of God… John 1:11-12 (my paraphrase)

Series: Lady Mechankia Volume 2
Publisher: Benitez Productions
Publication Date: April 2016
Goodreads Synopsis:
After a young friend shows up unexpectedly on her doorstep, Lady Mechanika immediately drops everything to come to her aid. They embark on a globe-spanning trek filled with ancient artifacts, secret societies, and scientific curiosities, but Lady Mechanika is eventually confronted with an impossible decision: the life of her friend, or the fate of all humankind.
This volume collects the entire second Lady Mechanika mini-series The Tablet of Destinies (originally published as Lady Mechanika: The Tablet of Destinies #1-6), plus a gorgeous cover art gallery.
Mechanika volume 2 is a very new and different story from the last volume. Instead of a quest for Mechankia's past we are thrown into an expedition to find a lost city of ancients in Africa that may hold the Tablet of Destinies. A piece that could change the world as we know it, but no one knows what it is, only that it means power.
This volume was action-packed, lots of new characters are introduced and there is a lot of mystery. It was a lot of fun to read and follow Lady Mechanika on her travels to find first an abducted child then her grandfather. Again like in volume 1 the drawing is incredible, there is so much detail in all the images. The clothing was marvelous again as well.
Mechanika stays the strong female lead from the first volume but also shows some of her more human side in this installment with a child involved. It was a great story and read!

The trial court properly denied awarding credit time to a drug court participant on electronic monitoring who violated the conditions of his agreement four times, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled.
Steven R. Perry appealed the denial of his motion for credit time for time he spent on electronic monitoring as a drug court program participant.
"Perry frames the issue as whether Indiana jurisprudence should be modified to adopt a single analysis for awarding credit time for periods of electronic monitoring served regardless of the pretrial or post-conviction status of the defendant. This, rather, is a case of whether the trial court abused its discretion in denying credit time to a person who failed to comply with conditions for participating in a drug court program," Judge Margret Robb wrote.
Perry's convictions of Class D felony residential entry and Class B misdemeanor public intoxication would be deferred under a plea agreement as long as he successfully completed a drug court program. Perry did not; he was sanctioned three times by the drug court for violating his participating agreement and had his participation terminated after he pleaded guilty to a count of Class D felony intimidation. This led to the court entering a judgment of conviction on the two deferred charges. Perry sought 127 days of credit time applied to that sentence based on the time he was on electronic monitoring.
The Court of Appeals found Meadows v. State, 2 N.E.3d 788 (Ind. Ct. App. 2014), to be instructive. That court found it was within a trial court's discretion to award or deny credit time spent on electronic monitoring while participating in a deferral program.
"A participant in drug court is not awaiting trial or awaiting sentencing under Indiana Code section 35-50-6-3. Though Perry expresses concern this court is creating a new, third category of offenders that is not contemplated by the credit time statute, we disagree. It is well-established that there are others who fall outside the purview of the credit time statute: a person on pretrial home detention or electronic monitoring," Robb wrote in Steven R. Perry v. State of Indiana, 39A01-1312-CR-517.
A drug court participant receives "considerable benefits" in return for giving up a "plethora of substantive claims and procedural rights," she continued. There are many positive results for a defendant who successfully completes a drug court program, but there are also negative consequences for failing.
"Not receiving credit time for time spent on electronic monitoring while participating in a drug court program is potentially one of those negative consequences," she wrote.

Industrial flooring is not as simple as it looks, it is important to get it right as there is no going back once the base is laid for the same. On the industrial front, water proof flooring has become extremely important for certain industries that manufacture water sensitive products and hence needs the proper flooring to ensure that water does not get soaked into the floor.
Engineering and contracting services usually pride themselves in delivering "water proofing" floors – meaning the use of different methods, systems and products that can help impede, prevent or stop water infiltration onto the building structure. It is important to ascertained that there is a clear difference in terminology and 'water proofing' must not be confused with damp proofing or water control.
At times the term 'water proofing' can be misused to refer to these two. Some people get it wrong and assume that these are all on the same page but the truth is far from that. It is rather sad that some engineering services do not understand the difference themselves. Here is a difference yardstick that can help you identify one from the other and ensure that these terms are not misused or interchanged as it can be very misleading.
Damp Proofing
In colloquial terms it is the process where an asphalt based coating is applied on the foundation or floor even before the concrete is installed. This helps to prevent the moisture from the soil getting into the floor through the concrete. This is applied with the help of a roller after flattening out the foundation. To understand how these works, you need to know that the soil that is beneeth and around the structure contains 100% humidity.
The newly laid foundation will have less moisture. Moisture travels from a higher humidity to a lower humidity. Concrete is porous in nature and hence the dampness will see through the concrete and onto the flooring. Asphalt helps to prevent penetration of this moisture into the structure, theby ensuring the durability of flooring. Damp proofing is very effective for basement industrial flooring.
Water Control
The term says it all – it's the measures taken to help control or keep water out of the flooring of the industrial unit. This works simple – collecting water from the area where the water is not required and diverting into an area of requirement or disposal. Most industries today use the 'wiping system' where the wiping tile collects any surface water that can accumulate due to wet conditions when there is a rise in the water table.
This water is drained later so ensuring that the flooring is unaffected. There are many water draining facilities used in the present – day like the weaving tile systems, air gap membranes, sump pumps, sub floor drain systems, French drainage systems are a few that are noteworthy.
Water Proofing
As mentioned above concrete is porous and will allow moisture or water to get through. A coating when applied on concrete will help to prevent this from happening. In order to make a floor water proof, a crystalline waterproofing material or an elastomeric water proofing membrane can be used.
The crystalline technology helps in closing the capillaries inside the concrete. This makes it denser and imperfect to water and moisture. Whenever there is an exposure to water or moisture the crystalline growth restarts again. This is effective even in the longer run as when the laid flooring settlers, there is chance that it may move a bit leading to the formation of cracks. Cracks make the floor pervious to water and moisture but with the crystalline in place, the crystalline starts to grow when it comes into contact with water thereby not allowing any sort of seepage into the floor surface.
Using an elastomeric membrane is also another good option. This can be especially useful in cases where the industrial structure in wet and swampy areas. This process is all about encapsulating the entire industrial flooring in a rubber envelope that averts moisture or water coming into contact with the concrete.
Making an Informed Decision
Making an educated decision is the best for any construction. Now with the knowledge of the existing differences among damp proofing, water control and water proofing, it is possible to make an educated decision based on what the requirement might be for a particular type of industrial flooring. Doing it right is essential and the right type of flooring needs to be chosen for the right industry. Businessmen who run manufacturing businesses have to be sure about what the contractors mean by each floor type, as some contracting services are themselves not so sure about what each of these types mean to the need of it.

While it ever-so-slightly resembles an ice cream cone, the Touchlight is actually a symbol of a significantly less carefree subject. This is an emblem designed to commemorate the earthquakes in and around Christchurch, New Zealand, in recent years, in memorial of the lives lost to the massive natural disaster.
Casey Lin proposed this sculptural pendant for the local Luxcity Festival as a personal lighting solution. When it's time for the moment of silence, people could press the button on top of the Touchlight to illuminate the patterned pyramid and cast a bright and mystical glow. The abstract design of the necklace was inspired by the Earth's shifting tectonic plates and the immense power that the planet possesses.

The Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act, a bipartisan bill that would allow hearing aids to be sold over the counter (OTC) to address mild to moderate hearing loss, was introduced this week in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives this week.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sponsored the proposed legislation's introduction in the Senate; Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) are sponsoring its House entrance.
While proponents say the bill expands affordable access to hearing health care, which ASHA supports, ASHA President Gail J. Richard says it "goes too far" in expanding "direct to consumer" hearing aids to people with moderate hearing loss.
Richard, however, says ASHA appreciates other aspects of the bill: "We are encouraged by the willingness of the senators and representatives to work with ASHA to include measures that will advance safe and effective hearing health for many Americans," she says.
These measures include specific Food and Drug Administration regulations of OTC hearing aids that:
- Establish or adopt output limits that are appropriate for the devices.
- Designate labeling requirements that cover how consumers may report adverse events using the devices.
- Specify conditions or contraindications for which use is not advised.
More information on the legislation is available in this press release issued by Sen. Warren's office.

Kyle Richards Gives An Update On Her Friendship With Yolanda Hadid And Admits She Was Initially "Concerned" About Lisa Rinna's Remarks About Kim Richards' Sobriety!
"I actually don't," she told the caller. "But honestly, in the beginning that was a concern for me that she's worked so hard to get to the place that she's at, and to have people speak negatively or take her back to a negative place was a concern to me."
Kyle went on to say that Kim is doing well these days, especially after she welcomed grandson Hucksley Andrew Wiederhorn to the family last September. "But I do feel that she's strong enough and happy with her new grandbaby that she's not threatened by that," Kyle explained. "But that was a concern, honestly."
During the After Show special of the late night Bravo talk show, Kyle Richards revealed that it's been a while since she and Yolanda Hadid had any heart-to-hearts during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Tuesday.
"I actually have not spoken to Yolanda. I texted her for a while after the show ended and she was not a part of the show anymore, and she was still struggling with her health," she said. "And so I have not spoken to her."
But they did recently drop each other a line for a very important reason. "We texted each other 'Happy Birthday' because we have the same birthday January 11," she said, adding, "But other than that, I have not had any contact with her."

I can never look at a freshly cracked open coconut without wondering how the first person to discover it would've felt. Here's this hard, furry thing that has a super fibrous outer layer which I am sure he (who am I kidding, it was most likely a she) went through great difficulty to pry open. Then there's another hard nut-like thing and she cracks it open somehow and finds that it's leaking an almost clear liquid. Cautiously she tastes a few drops and realises it's sweet and delicious. But oh boy, she needs to go through all that trouble again because she wasn't prepared to collect it intact the first time around.
PS: If Kerala is God's Own Country, then coconut is God's Own Food, right? Right!

Last week Joey Logano won at Charlotte Motor Speedway to solidify his spot in the NASCAR Eliminator Round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. He didn't stop there. He went on to win at Kansas Speedway in order to keep any other competitor from locking himself into that next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Logano's trip is not without controversy. In the final laps he was in second place to Matt Kenseth. Kenseth was doing all he could do to keep the faster Logano behind. He took his line up high and then took the low line when he moved down. Joey Logano did what Kenseth did in order to protect his position on the track. Unfortunately, Kenseth was spun out and finished 14th.
There wasn't too many seasons ago when Logano wouldn't have done that. Not that he did anything wrong. Kenseth was blocking. Blocking like Tony Stewart bitches about but does the same. Now that I said that, I can also say I don't blame Matt Kenseth one bit. That is how it's done, and to some extent Joey Logano learned it and dealt with it.
Roger Penske said, "I saw a couple times Joey got squeezed off of two and I think over in three, and as they went down into one Joey had a fender up inside. He was on the outside of the 20 and he got in the wall. I don't know if you saw that or not, and then he turned down, Joey did, to take the lower lane and there was another car up there – I think a slower car – and then Kenseth came down. Unfortunately, they got together. I don't like to see that any more than anybody else does. It's one of those racing accidents. It's real tough when it's in this kind of a situation, but there was no question that Kenseth was doing everything he could to keep Joey from going by."
Joey Logano said, "Yeah, it's hard racing. With 15 to go I got to the outside of him down the backstretch, and I had to lift not to wreck both of us at that point, and then kind of got put in the same situation down the front stretch, and then we just happened to go in the same corner and we both went for the same piece of real estate. I wanted that middle lane and so did he, and we collided there. So good hard racing, you know. We ran each other hard. He ran me hard, I ran him hard back. That's just the type of driver I am, the type of racer I'm going to be, and it just comes to that point sometimes to — it's unfortunate that those things happen, you know, and it's just hard to — it doesn't take anything away from our win today."
This is racing, racing that NASCAR has given us via the Chase, and I love it. We not only have actually racing for a Championship late in the season but we have defensive racing in order to keep a competitor from making a Championship run. Joey Logano has now taken it to an even higher level in the second year of this knock out format of the Chase. He won two races in a round keeping others from guaranteeing themselves a spot in the next round.

Good bike wear must meet several requirements. For sports cyclists in particular, the first priority is functionality. Appearance and suitability for everyday use are becoming increasingly important, especially in urban areas. Last but not least, sustainable bike apparel manufacturing is also growing in relevance. The leading trade show the Eurobike will show the diverse range of bike wear from August 30 to September 2 in Friedrichshafen.
The market for bike wear is currently bringing together several exciting developments. "In our view, there is no one trend this year. Instead, every segment is seeing its own trend – whether it be mountain bikes, racing bikes or everyday bikes," says Bernhard Haberzett, marketing manager at bike and sports apparel supplier Craft. In the mountain bike segment, diversification is taking center stage: in 2018 loose fitting bike shorts will be available in four variants. "There are cross country, marathon, all mountain, endurance and downhill bikers, and each group has their own individual needs," Haberzett explains. In the collection for racing bikes, the Swedish manufacturer's focus for 2018 is on "professional apparel for everyone." Craft is cooperating closely with the German professional team Bora-Hansgrohe in this effort.
Manufacturer Maloja gets the inspiration for their new collections for mountain bikers and racing bikers from somewhere else entirely. The Chiemsee-based company is adding a special visual flair to its summer 2018 collection. Under the motto "The Alpan Way," prints in the collection will combine typically Japanese motifs like waves, blossoms and dragonflies with alpine flowers. There are pants and apparel inspired by the broader, more comfortable clothing style of Japan. A design with oak leaves is based on self-made linocut.
In urban areas, the focus is on bike apparel whose functionality is not apparent at first glance. The intent is to use functional bike wear that is appealing because of its generous comfort, that doesn't look like the wearer is on their way to the Tour de France, and that can also be readily worn in the office. This is the approach being taken by Vaude, based in Tettnang, Germany, in its new bike wear line. "Many people want to show that cycling is an important part of their life, even when they are not on top of a bike," says product manager Anna Holzner. That's why, for the next season, Vaude is offering a variety of different groupings within its collection. "There are model series whose form, functional characteristics and materials are clearly designed for athletic performance. Next to that, we also have more moderate styles in our collection that are naturally still designed specifically for cycling but that, through a different choice of materials, cuts and colors, are also suited to other leisure activities and are more intended for multiple uses." Sustainability continues to be a focus at Vaude. "It is about using materials from renewable resources and recycled materials and using them in a way that does not neglect the functionality the wearer wants," says product manager Holzner. The entire 2018 bike apparel collection from Vaude is completely PFC-free – no fluorocarbon reinforcements are used in its manufacture.
Like Vaude, many other manufacturers are also placing their bets on environmentally friendly materials. The diversity of function, applications and looks that bike wear provides will be on display at the Eurobike from August 30 to September 2, 2017. At the Eurobike, the ultimate catwalk for bike wear can be seen at the fashion show, which will take place three times per day at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. in the East Foyer.
The Eurobike 2017 will be open daily from August 30 to September 2 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On business days, from Monday to Friday, the show will only be open to trade visitors and accredited journalists. Additional information is available at: www.eurobike-show.com .

Summer has always been my favorite season, maybe because summer is the time that I get to go to the beach! I grew up on Long Island and summers were always spent going to Jones Beach whenever someone's parent had days off or taking what we now call a "Staycation."
Now I'm lucky enough to live close to the Jersey Shore and since I'm a Jersey Girl now and love the shore so much, I decided to share it with you in my upcoming contemporary romance release, ONE SUMMER NIGHT, the first book in the At the Shore series..
ONE SUMMER NIGHT is set in the fictional town of Sea Kiss which is a blend of some of my favorite Jersey Shore towns.
When hero Owen Pierce and his brother Jonathan (the hero of the second book in the At The Shore series) stroll through a quaint Victorian town and stop in at a surf and skate shop, you'll get to experience a little bit of the lovely town of Ocean Grove. Ocean Grove was founded by the Methodists and besides some lovely Victorian homes and Main Avenue, it has many unique features, like these tents that are used by residents during the summer months. The town of Ocean Grove is a historic landmark and known as God's Little Square Mile.
The heroine, Maggie Sinclair, has a beach house in Sea Kiss and would often spend her youth reading romance novels in a gazebo sitting just above the dunes on the beach. The gazebo and dunes are based on my town of Bradley Beach, the southern neighbor to Ocean Grove. Bradley Beach is a lovely family-oriented beach town and was actually the first town to issue beach badges for access to the beach. Yes, in Jersey we pay per person to go to the beach in many towns. This is a photo of our original gazebo in Bradley which was unfortunately destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
Now that you've met two of the towns that inspired Sea Kiss, how about a little teaser about ONE SUMMER NIGHT?
An offer that's impossible to accept…
Maggie Sinclair has tried everything to save her family's business, including mortgaging their beloved beach house on the Jersey shore. But now, she's out of options.
The Sinclair and Pierce families have been neighbors and enemies for almost thirty years. That hasn't stopped Owen Pierce from crushing on Maggie, and he's determined to invest in her success. Now he has to convince her that he's more than just trouble with a capital T…
I had a blast writing this story about enemies who become lovers. Actually, Maggie and Owen were actually childhood friends before the feud really heated up and they were torn apart by it. But it's hard to avoid each other when they run in similar circles and constantly see each other. It's even harder when there's attraction simmering between the two of them that's impossible to resist.
I hope you'll take the time to check out this fun, tender and sensual story!
ONE SUMMER NIGHT has been named a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Romance!
Publishers Weekly: In a passionate modern Romeo and Juliet-inspired story (with a much happier ending) that opens a contemporary romance series, Pineiro (Under the Boardwalk) develops the forbidden love between sensitive, spunky retail heiress Maggie Sinclair and stoic real estate scion Owen Pierce. Three decades earlier, Maggie and Owen's fathers, formerly best friends and business partners, had an ugly fight, supposedly over real estate. They bequeathed that animosity to their children. Inconveniently, Owen and Maggie have been attracted to each other since they were young, and chemistry arcs between the two when they reconnect at their families' side-by-side beach houses in Sea Kiss, N.J. Owen's bitter father threatens to disinherit Owen if he dates Maggie, so Owen comes up with a desperate plan: he pretends that he's only marrying Maggie to gain control of her faltering retail chain. A cast of lovely, imperfect supporting characters–including Owen's entrepreneurial younger brother, Jonathan; Maggie's friend Emma, a wedding planner avoiding love; and her friend Connie, a workaholic lawyer gunning for partner–neatly surrounds this endearing hero and heroine as Owen's father attempts to derail their love story forever. Readers will want to visit the charming town of Sea Kiss again and again. (Oct.)
Kirkus: "A sexy, fun, yet touching summer read."

I got home early from work today. All alone in the house.
Just me, the animals …
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? These kids will never even notice anything's gone.
As I'm inspecting the stash, I notice something strange about the giant chocolate bunny my kids have eaten the ears off of. First, the front of its box states that it is
Which, what does that even mean? Chocolate flavored WHAT????? Gross. I don't even want to know.
But that's not the weirdest thing about it. The bunny has a green ribbon tied around its neck, made of satin or whatever the hell they make ribbons out of. Like, it's a legit ribbon. Any dummy could see that.
However, the warning on the side panel of the box states, "DECORATIVE RIBBON IS NOT EDIBLE."
Do you realize what this means? They had to put that warning on there because at some point, some dumbass ATTEMPTED TO EAT THE RIBBON. I know. I can't believe it, either. So what happened was, either this person is so clueless on the way the world works, they thought it was food, choked and sued the company that makes the milk chocolate flavored bunnies. OR … this person was so SMART that they realized there was NO warning NOT to eat the ribbon, so they tried eating it, feigned choking, the lawsuit followed, and BAM, the rest of us are being treated like Grade A morons.
Either way, my mind is kind of blown. That I live in the same world, breathe the same air, as The Ribbon Eaters. I just … I … I can't.
Just when I think I understand humanity, something like this comes along and shows me that I know nothing.

But from the side of the libav* users (and distro maintainers, etc...) it's much more painful to support such harsh API change. For software using lavf it means either: - stay with the old API and be unusable with ffmpeg's svn - upgrade to new API and be unusable with disto's packaged ffmpeg (ie. the majority of users) - add an equivalent compatibility layer in the software itself (or clutter the code with #ifdef), which leads to code duplication in every software using lavf And obviously different software will choose different solutions, which will lead many people compiling software against FFmpeg to problems, and not the same problems depending on the software they build. This IMO leads to a big mess, and this is the kind of thing which tarnish ffmpeg's reputation. So IMO, avoiding this is worth a few dozen line of temporary code properly under #if. Aurel

Sergeants List Today (UPDATE)
Anyone have an early look at the list?
UPDATE: Sergeants list out. Then canceled ten minutes later. No word on a reissue yet.
Tracey Ladner strikes again - she can't even run a crooked promotional process right.
UPDATE: List out again. The one people have been sending us turns out to have a number of people without college and maybe one facing a 30-pending allegation. Someone needs to fire Ladner since she seems entirely incapable of handling a promotion - this is the second time in as many lists they've taken it down within minutes of issuing it. This is what happens when you take capable people out of the mix and let idiots run things.

Post subject: Please help me understand my locking front hubs ! :)
Hi all,
the snow is about to arrive and i am a bit confused about my 4wd system, I am fine with the transfer box and how it works , it is the hubs i don't understand. At the moment they are in the free wheeling position so i have a couple of questions
1) do they need to be in the locked position for the power to actually turn the wheels when my gearbox is in 4wd mode?
2)if i have them in the locked position in 2wd mode , what happens, will something break?
3) if i suddenly find myself needing some extra grip have i got to get out of the car , twist these things to the locked position and then put it into 4wd ? ( seems like a pain to me )
any exact advice that you guys and girls can give will be much appreciated as i have to drive across Europe ( 1000 miles ! ) in January and i don't wish to find out the hard way that something is about to snap
if there is no great downside to having them locked all the time i am just going to lock them in position and leave them there

To get the front wheels to drive, you must lock the hubs once the transfer box has engaged. Yes you must keep getting out. NO, do drive with them locked. If you drive on dry tarmac with it in 4wd, it will twist up and leave you in a world of hurt. I personnally dont like to drive in the snow in 4wd, the front wheels pulling me all over the road. 2wd drive is safer, if a bit slower. I only use 4wd to get me out of trouble.....If you have good tyres, you will be fine.

Post subject: Correction to advice given!
Hi all,
I just happened to come across this thread and realised that the advice given was partially incorrrect. Obviously it is rather late replying as this was an old thread, but it is best that the information is corrected!
1) Yes the hubs do have to be in the locked position to enable the engine to drive the front wheels when 4WD mode is selected.
2) No, NOTHING will break! All it means is that when driving in two wheel drive mode, you are using more fuel as the wheels are turning the front transmission including the front differential. In fact all Suzuki 4x4s that have free wheeling hubs should be driven for about 10 miles a month / 1,000 miles (which ever is first) with the hubs locked, in 2WD. This is to keep the axle and front transmission lubricated properly. I don't know about the latest owners' manuals, but this used to be mentioned in the older manuals. On the old SJ's, Samurais etc. the vehicles were sold new without free wheeling hubs, as the FW hubs were optional. Obviously without FW hubs fitted it is the equivalent of FW hubs being in the locked position as far as the transmission is concerned.
3) As you have manual hubs (as automatic hubs are different to operate and use in some respects) once you have locked the hubs, you can select 4WD at any time whilst driving in a straight line. It is recommended that you stop to select and de-select 4WD but as long as you are driving in a straight line, it is actually fine to select and deselect on the move. The but is that you should only use 4wd up to speeds of about 40mph and only on loose or slippery surfaces. This is because when cornering the front wheels and the rear wheels rotate at different speeds and this causes the transmission to "wind up". This results in excessive wear on the transmissions joints, excessive tyre wear and could cause something in the drive train to fail.
When driving in 4wd the vehicle will understeer more than usual. In many conditions is it best to have the hubs locked so that you can select 4wd at a moments notice, but drive in 2wd. If you find that you have lost too much traction in 2wd and are getting / have become stuck, then 4wd will probably be able to keep you going / get you unstuck. If you have been driving in 4WD and get stuck, then you have no easy way of geting unstuck!
Hope this all helps!

Thanks for the replies on this.
The manually locking hubs on my 2000 4U are very stiff to turn/engage. This I assume is the result of them not being used on a monthly basis.
So I'll be using them even in 2WD each month just to make sure everything is lubricated properly.

'Frontier Boosters': Port Townsend's elusive dream
In "Frontier Boosters," historian Elaine Nailor chronicles the struggles of the leaders of 19th-century Port Townsend to compete with Seattle as the commercial center of Puget Sound.
Special to The Seattle Times
'Frontier Boosters: Port Townsend and the Culture of Development in the American West'
by Elaine Naylor
McGill-Queen's University Press, 304 pp., $29.95
The leaders of Port Townsend once had dreams of making their city the commercial metropolis of Puget Sound. The town was founded in the same year as Seattle, 1851, and it made a living the same way, by milling lumber and loading it onto ships for San Francisco. Port Townsend had some advantages over Seattle: It was better for sailing ships because of its harbor's moderate depth and the prevailing winds, and because it was closer to the ocean.
The coming of the railroads in the late 1880s killed the dream. Port Townsend was on the wrong side of the Sound. Its champions tried to save it by building a railroad to Olympia, but at Quilcene they ran out of money. For decades Port Townsend was economically embalmed, which is why it is now able to promote itself as a kind of museum.
Still, for 40 years it had believed itself a contender, as Elaine Naylor describes in her new book, "Frontier Boosters."
Naylor is assistant professor of history at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. She is interested in Port Townsend as an example of "boosterist thinking" by settlers who believed that economic growth would enrich the community and themselves.
It is odd to read of the settlers' "belief" in development, as if it were an open question. Of course they believed in it. Naylor allows that historians "face a tendency in the academy to view boosterism from an ironic, dismissive perspective," implying that she won't do this. Mostly she doesn't.
The focus of this academic historian is on how the push to make Port Townsend an important city affected its internal conflicts of race and class. For example, in the mid-1880s the Knights of Labor, a union of white workingmen, organized an effort to drive out the Chinese. It drove them out in Tacoma and Seattle, but not in Port Townsend. Instead of war, the town's leaders announced economic sanctions — a boycott of Chinese businesses. This was likely to fail, and did, but it mollified racial passions and kept the peace.
Similarly, when a travel writer from the East portrayed Port Townsend as a den of sloth and vice, the town's leaders were ashamed. They had a Christian desire to shut down the gambling and prostitution, creating a middle-class town attractive to Eastern investors and immigrants. But they also had a commercial need to attract ships and seafaring men. They squared this circle by assuming, Naylor writes, "that some saloons and their places were respectable while others were not."
Naylor notes that popular historian Murray Morgan wrote of this dilemma in a jocular vein. Naylor is never jocular; she takes seriously the town leaders' urge to be respectable, which was a serious matter to them. Though she doesn't say so, the conclusion that presents itself in her story is that the town leaders managed their social conflicts fairly well in the context of the times, and that it became "a loser in the rivalry for great-city status" for reasons beyond its control.
Bruce Ramsey is a Seattle writer.

University of Malaya (UM) represented by its Faculty of Science and IOI Group's charity arm, Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng (TSLSC) have entered into the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA), which marks the collaborative efforts between the two institutions to further enhance research and development in the field of sustainable palm oil plantation management.
On 15 August 2018, the MoA was signed between Yayasan TSLSC, which was represented by its Executive Director, Datin Joanne Wong Su Ching and Biotechnology Controller of IOI Corporation Berhad (IOI), Dr. Lim Loon Lui, and UM which was represented by its Vice-Chancellor, Datuk Ir. (Dr.) Abdul Rahim Hj. Hashim as well as the Acting Dean, Faculty of Science, Professor Dr. Zanariah Abdullah.
The first phase of this effort consists of a collaborative research project between these institutions through two selected projects – the development of bio-fertiliser using empty fruit bunch biochar and beneficial microbes, and a study of species diversity of rats in palm oil plantations in Peninsular Malaysia and its control strategies.
Yayasan TSLSC was established in 1994 by the founder of IOI Group to contribute towards education, welfare and advancement of the country. Since its formation, Yayasan TSLSC has impacted countless lives through its corporate social responsibility initiatives. IOI is committed to best management and good agricultural practices such as integrated pest management, as well as to its continued research and development in environmentally-friendly agro-land management.
This research collaboration enables both parties to share their existing know-hows and to tap the innovation potentials that could help unlock new commercial opportunities. This initiative serves to further push the agenda for encouraging and supporting further study by exemplary students and investment in higher education for qualified Malaysian youths.
Malaysia is the world's second largest producer of palm oil with an export value of RM75 billion in 2017.The production of palm oil in Malaysia is anticipated to be Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) standards compliant by the end of 2019. Yayasan TSLSC and UM believe that this strategic collaboration would benefit both parties in nurturing talent and in creating impactful innovative strategies in the palm oil industry.

Goodbye [f]unemployment and hellloooo once again to the working world!
I am very excited and thankful to say that after many months of being jobless, God not only blessed me one job opportunity, but TWO – a part time position with Beloved International as their Operations Master [working title!] and a full time position with Spark Program as their Redwood City Program Manager. Both of them are amazing non-profits that work with children and both of them are working hard to make a difference in the community!
It's been awhile since I've been working full-time, whether that's at a job or even with my busy college schedule, and I'm a little nervous but also extremely pumped to start doing so many things again. Granted, it's going to be quite the transition though especially since my mornings will now start at 6AM and not 9AM…..and I will now have to share my gym space with the rush of other people ending their work day. Boo. But all good things must come to an end so that new good things can begin 🙂
So on my very last day of freedom before I get back into the work force, I've been reflecting on what it's been like these past few months, what I've learned, and what I'm excited for in this next chapter of life. It's pretty nuts to see how abundantly God provides in His perfect timing and how he does not waste a single thing – not even unemployment!
God's Sovereign Timing
God really really knows exactly what I need and exactly when I need it. I mean, I was looking hard core for 5 straight months and nothing! But now that I have a job and other things in my life that are happening at the same time, I see why the Lord withheld work from me until now and dang, am I grateful. Being unemployed gave me time to spend with Matthew before he left for military training and allowed my schedule to be more flexible in being able to talk to him during his variable training. Being unemployed allowed me to consider finally moving home, be closer to family, and ultimately look for [and find] a job up here in NorCal. And now, just as Matthew is about to leave for Ranger School where we will have about 2-3 months of complete silence, I am able to focus on these new job(s) and have something to distract me from the lonely reality of life haha. Totally kidding but also a little serious. Hang out with me, guys.
I gotta admit that there were times that I grew very discontent with the season I life I had been given, and at times even discontent just from trying to understand why I was discontent! But it is so reassuring to know that the Lord's plan are infinitely better than my own and that He knows why He kept me in that period of unemployment.
God's Abundant Provision
The Lord owes me nothing, not even a job, but the fact that he would provide two amazing jobs is beyond me. God could have easily given me an a job that had nothing to do with my career and that would have been sufficient, but instead he abundantly provided me with jobs that are both with non profit organizations working to resolve issues in our community that I am deeply passionate about. Even my position within each of these non profits is exactly the type of work I want to. Again – God's very abundant provision!!
In a society that tells you your success in finding a job is based on how hard you work or how good your resume looks, I thought that the more presentable my resume was and the more jobs I applied to, the more likely I would find a legit job. But I literally sent like the exact same resume to I think over 50 companies and didn't hear back from any of them except Spark. What was the difference? I believe that it was the Lord. I believe that He kept those other 49 companies silent so that His plan to have me at Spark would unfold and ultimately, all the glory would go to Him because it belongs to Him.
There is More to Life Than a Job. Or Whatever It Is That You're Looking For.
I can say this confidently because I remember clearly what I felt when I was still looking for a job and know how I feel now that I have secured a job. I thought that once I found a job, I'd feel more secure, more confident, more content. But as I'm approaching work, I still have a lot of fears, uncertainties, financial concerns…you name it. Honestly, not that much has changed because my purpose in life – to make Christ known and to reach the lost – has not changed one bit. The way it looks or the environment may be different but God remains the same and his calling for us as believers remains the same.
It's not just a job though. God has reminded me time and time again that only his love is able satisfy completely and only when we are living our lives according to the calling He has given to us will we really feel complete. I learned that through relationships, through school, and even through accepting my own body image. There is much more to my life and your life than that next thing you're looking for, I promise 🙂
There is Joy in Every Season
Regardless of the circumstances that the Lord gives to you – whether it's joy or hardship or uncertainty – there is great, great joy to be found in the Lord simply because He is the Lord. Just like how people can always magically find the bad in every circumstance, when we have Christ, we are able to find the joy and the hope in every thing because we know that ultimately, it's not about us but it is about Him.
About 8 years ago, my small group leader made me memorize a Psalm and to this day, the Lord continues to make clear to me in my life everything that David, the Psalmist says.
O LORD, you have search me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it completely.
You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it.
Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me and your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,"
even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day for darkness is as light with you.
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
You eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them
the days that were formed for me when as yet there was none of them.
– Psalm 139:1-16
He knows me. He knows my thoughts. He knows His plans for me. What a comforting and beautiful truth no matter if I'm employed, unemployed, healthy, sick, rich, poor, anything!
This was a little longer than I expected…haha but I guess this was really more for me to process more than anything. Pray for me that I wouldn't make a complete fool out of myself tomorrow and that I can continue to exemplify Christ in my workplace!
– Juang

I woke up this morning to a mind-pic of three inflatable buoys bobbing around in frothy waves.
My immediate understanding was that those buoys were the proverbial "faith, hope, and love" holding me up through the churning realities of day-to-day life.
There is of course the obvious spiritual meaning of that choice biblical nugget that "these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13
If you haven't embraced that truth as yet, I would encourage you to find the substantive meaning in that insight as it applies to your place in the universe. They are virtues that abide all.
Still, for many readers, another immediate and relevant context for these treasures can be had right here on the ground where we live today--in a modern life filled with difficulties and dangers. Yes, establish your relationship with your maker and cultivate it. But beyond that, so too, these virtues serve you well applied to developing your own self confidence, to your household and community relationships, and even applied to your preparedness activities.
Preparedness Delivers Peace
Along the same lines of the principle that has proven itself through history--that there is peace through strength--so too is there peace of mind to be had via personal readiness. That is, if you are reasonably equipped to deal with whatever life can throw your way, then you are going to be feel pretty good about your future.
In terms of my own preparedness and how I keep my head above water ...
Faith: I trust that God always provides for me as needed, and that He blesses my household accordingly. I also believe that He has steered us onto our present course and that we are well situated for events anticipated and unanticipated. It's a good feeling to be able to trust that we have done what is wise and reasonable.
Hope: With a Christian faith, we always have hope of eternal life in Christ Jesus. We also have hope in this life of coming out on top of any trials and tribulations, since we are given only that which we are capable of enduring. Being physically prepared bolsters our position of strength and allows us to extend a positive and beneficial outlook toward the future. It also permits us to be able to afford to cheerfully influence and impact the lives of others around us.
Love: "The greatest of these is love." Love God, love yourself, love your family and your neighbors. It's a powerful virtue--to be able to reach out and give of what you have and of who you are. I fail in that more often than I care to admit, but in terms of preparedness and being involved in the business, I can truthfully say that it is a labor of love ... a heartfelt effort to encourage others to find peace and buoyancy in a balanced, systematic approach to the future.

Michigan Scientists Found New Dwarf Planet Lurking in Our Solar System
A team of scientists from the University of Michigan have discovered a new dwarf planet lurking in the outermost part of our solar system in the region beyond Pluto.
The dwarf planet, named 2014 UZ224, is located some 8.5 billion miles from the sun and takes about 1,100 Earth years to complete a single orbit around the sun. Measuring 330 miles across, 2014 UZ224 is much smaller than Pluto's largest moon Charon, which measures 750 miles in diameter.
The discovery of the dwarf planet was made after David Gerdes of University of Michigan instruct undergraduates visiting him to find some objects lurking in our solar system. One way of tracking nearby objects in our solar system is looking for something that actually moves. Gerdes noted that planets and asteroid that are near will appear in a slightly different position from night to night, while more distant stars and galaxies will appear to be stationary.
"We often just have a single observation of the thing, on one night," said Gerdes in a report from National Public Radio. "And then two weeks later one observation, and then five nights later another observation, and four months later another observation. So the connecting-the-dots problem is much more challenging."
Using software developed by the team of undergraduates, they were able to discern that 2014 UZ224 is slightly moving, while more distant objects in the same area in the sky appeared to be stuck in place.
According to the report from Christian Science Monitor, 2014 UZ224 is not the only dwarf planet found in our solar system. In the past decade, astronomers have detected and recognized five dwarf planets in our solar system. These include, Ceres, Eris, Haumea, Makemake and the demoted Pluto. Ceres can be found in the asteroid belt, while the remaining dwarf planets are located in the Kuiper Belt. Astronomers believe that there are more dwarf planets in the outermost region of our solar system waiting to be discovered.

Education Equality
Title IX Coordinators
Well-informed Title IX Coordinators are required to counteract sex discrimination in education programs in schools and other entities receiving federal financial assistance. (See Title IX Coordinators: Key to Fighting Sex Discrimination in Education PDF handout). Title IX regulations specify that each recipient of federal financial assistance "designate at least one employee to coordinate its efforts to comply with, and carry out, Title IX responsibilities". However, this requirement has been poorly implemented. In response to requests from Title IX activists, in 1997 and again in 2004 the Education Department (ED) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) sent "Dear Colleague" letters to state education agencies, local school districts, and postsecondary institutions to remind them to comply with Title IX.
FMF's 2016 multi-year study Reinvigorating The Role of the Title IX Coordinator: A Requirement and Resource (Executive Summary PDF / Full Report PDF) reveals a major gap between the number of Title IX Coordinators that exist and the number required by law. Institutions covered by Title IX include: state education agencies, 16,000+ school districts, 95,000+ public K-12 schools, 7,000+ postsecondary institutions, and museums, libraries, recreation departments, and prisons, as well as other public and private entities that receive federal financial assistance for education.
Many K-12 educational agencies lack designated Title IX Coordinators who are visible and accessible to educators, students, and the public. Even if visible on their institution's website, few Coordinators are equipped to effectively identify, respond to, and prevent sex discrimination and gender stereotyping. Although 23,000 school district and postsecondary Title IX Coordinators have been appointed to comply with the ED mandatory requests for contact information, relatively few of the 95,000 K-12 public schools have posted their Title IX Coordinators on their websites—often because the school has not yet delegated a Title IX Coordinator. Once designated, Title IX Coordinators must be trained, well supported by their institution, and connected to vertical and horizontal networks of other Title IX Coordinators, equity experts, and their local stakeholders in order to effectively eliminate sex discrimination.
Even when Title IX Coordinators are designated and trained, they may not have expertise in all aspects of Title IX, ranging from academics, to athletics, to employment, to sexual harassment and assault. Thus, FMF and OCR recommend that institutions establish teams of Title IX Coordinators with different specializations who work with the institution's lead Title IX Coordinator to prevent sex discrimination in all areas covered by Title IX and related governmental equity laws and policies.
In addition to reviewing challenges, the 2016 FMF report, Reinvigorating The Role Of The Title IX Coordinator: A Requirement and Resource applauds recent progress such as the Department of Education's (ED) 2015 Title IX Coordinators guidance (PDF) and listings of school district and postsecondary school Title IX Coordinators. To find a recent list of Title IX Coordinators in states and large school districts visit FMF's List of Title IX Coordinators and Gender-Equity Experts in State Education Agencies (PDF).
A focus of the 2016 FMF Title IX Coordinator report is on the important role of Title IX Coordinators in rebuilding the gender equity infrastructure which has been neglected for decades. Title IX Coordinators should be key actors in both the vertical and horizontal infrastructure networks. The vertical infrastructure networks include federal, state, local district and school-level Title IX Coordinators using both top-down and bottom-up strategies. The horizontal networks include peer Title IX Coordinators; staff responsible for eliminating discrimination based on race, disability, and other potentially discriminatory characteristics; external gender equity experts in specific topics such as employment, athletics, STEM, sexual assault, sex segregation, and LGBTQ issues; and community stakeholders. These equity allies should participate in advisory groups and partnerships with Title IX Coordinators.
For more on the need for developing this infrastructure and reinvigorating the role of Title IX Coordinators see the FMF "Insufficient Funding" section of the Addressing Threats to Title IX web page discussion of the critically important Patsy T. Mink Gender Equity Education Act of 2016 introduced in the Senate and House in July 2016.

Supplemental Figure 1: Isomap (

=2000 images (64 pixels by 64 pixels) of a hand in different configurations. The images were generated by making a series of opening and closing movements of the hand at different wrist orientations, designed to give rise to a two-dimensional manifold. The images were treated as 4096-dimensional vectors, with input-space distances defined in the Euclidean metric. As shown in Fig. 2C of the paper, Isomap correctly detects two clearly significant dimensions, plus several weak dimensions of noise; PCA and MDS do not detect the correct dimensionality and suggest a much higher level of noise. The recovered coordinate axes map approximately onto the distinct underlying degrees of freedom: wrist rotation (

Kelley and Brad Phelps are members of First Baptist Church, Montgomery. Kelley had a special calling as a teenager to reach out to vulnerable children who were in need of a stable and loving home environment. With the launch of Children's Hope, the Phelps immediately knew they were being called to become foster parents. Kelley and Brad were among the first to be certified as foster parents through ABCH in the Montgomery area. In the summer of 2012, they welcomed their first foster child into their home. This has been a successful placement with church members supporting them through meals, prayers and other tangible ways. Brad, Kelley, their three girls and extended family have all made this child feel welcome and loved. Most importantly, the child is learning about God's love!
Bill and Diane McCrary are grandparents and are very active members of First Baptist, Montgomery. Diane is also a retired elementary teacher and (Colonel) Bill is employed with The Baptist Foundation of Alabama. Even though they are very active in different ministries, they sensed God's call to be involved in foster care. Rather than being full-time foster parents, the McCrary's chose to be "Respite" foster parents. They were required (by the State Dept. of Human Resources) to undergo the same training and guidelines as "full-time" foster parents. As respite parents, they are able to host foster children in their home on a short term basis when the need arises. A wonderful example is that the McCrarys serve as respite parents for the child placed with the Phelps (see above). If this occurs among families in the same church family as in this case, the child's routine is not interrupted as much and the child begins to think of respite parents as extended family. This reduces anxiety among the children and allows the foster parents a much needed break.

There's nothing better than having a good friend to lighten the load when it comes to …coming up with ideas. We'll hope you welcome this first guest entry in the world of Scribillare. Guest writer Darcy has day job though too so if you're ever in need of a caring and capable home insurance broker she can really help at Murfreesboro Home Insurance. Now settle in and sit back for a truly enjoyable read:
Who says writing is *actually* writing? You can cite Charles Dickens all day. You can tell me that even e.e. cummings knew that the written word was indeed words written on a page. We could rouse Rand and bug Balzac but even the angriest authors have that one concept in common : writing is a mechanical invention that involves pen to paper, typewriter to paper or in this digital age, keys to screen. There doesn't seem much space for someone to say that these incarnations of thought are anything but the raw materials of writing.
I'm here to tell you different. I know what writing is because writing is compressed thought. There's a stark difference here between "stream of consciousness" writing and the concept I'm …writing about…right here. Inside the idea of streaming is just that : ideas. The difference in thought compression and streaming is a basic premise of preparing thoughts in a fashion of expression. Similar to the ideas of art and how the audience is the target of emphatic expression, compressed thought is a technique that aggregates errant ideas into a certain function.

Authentic stories yield authentic results.
There is a big difference between telling someone your story and selling them on your story. The power of authenticity to clearly and effectively communicate your brand's message is undeniable. In our documentary style work with brands, we are able to capture the true essence of what makes each story unique. We then communicate that story in an entertaining and compelling manner, all within the needs of a specific marketing objective.
From herding Buffalo in South Dakota to going behind the scenes on a Victora's Secret Commercial in New York and almost everywhere in between, we have traveled all over the U.S. documenting the stories of proud and successful Verizon Wireless Small Business customers.
In producing over a dozen of these documentary shorts we have had the opportunity to effectively tell the story of how Verizon is a critical part of the success of each business. In each piece we hear from the business owners themselves as they give us an inside look at their operation while honestly and authentically sharing how Verizon's products and services have helped them out along the way.
These six piece are a few of our favorites.
On assignment for the FedEX magazine "Access" J&G traveled to Fort Collins, CO to capture the story of technology accessory company Otterbox.
Otterbox's ability to develop compelling products and maintain unbelievable global growth, while giving back to their community and keeping a honest and fun Otter culture was impressive to say the least.
Legally blind workers making airplane parts for Boeing....just watch.
Our branded documentary shorts for Okuma have taken us all over the U.S. and Canada capturing the stories of incredibly hard working and smart machine tool manufacturing businesses who are true brand evangelists for Okuma.
From small mom-and-pop shops to large-scale robotic manufacturing facilities, we have been inspired by the authentic stories that each business owner has shared.

Web "hyperlinks" are easily broken when the structure of a web site, or its host domain name, is changed. Visitors quickly lose interest when they meet broken links.
This is a particular problem when a web site evolves from using the "free" space (and URL) provided by an ISP, to having its own domain name.
Assuming that the original (obsolete) URL can still be used, redirect pages are a useful means of overcoming potential problems. The general approach is to place a web page at the obsolete URL which redirects web browsers (and web search engines) to the new URL.
This information is supplied "as is". Neither Curlew Communications Limited nor the author take responsibility for any loss or damage caused by use of the information.
There are three popular redirect techniques:
These techniques can be used separately, but all three can be combined on a single redirect page. (Belt, braces, piece of string ......)
Place in the "head" section on the web page.
This works only with modern web browsers. Older browsers will safely ignore it. This example automatically redirects modern web browsers after a delay of 2 seconds.
