Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Outpost' started by vn_nnanji, Dec 29, 2012.
And this is Los Angeles! We are futzing huge! You other cities are baby cities compared to us.
So glad crime is so low in that state!
It's also full of illegal weapons and unarmed civilians. No wonder the NRA and their fans don't want to talk about it.
Is it the state or just LA?
Los Angeles I believe.
The gang capital of the US. The birthplace of the Bloods, Crips and MS-13. A city filled with armed sociopaths and unarmed civilians.
Along with statistics that show the NRA to be delusional twits.
LA is not bad because of the NRA. Its bad because of all the animals living there
Wow one thing you said that I cant insult you for. Good job! There may be hope for you yet. You're an ok guy man, i dont care what anyone says about you
People commit the crimes there not the NRA or any other organization. That city and state is filled with selfish stupid short sighted people
Now the toughest part of your argument is to convince a liberal. And good luck with that.
You really think that is a logical argument for gun control?
Its not but thats the rhetoric theyve been fed from the media and the left. Its propaganda and they are full of it.
So the article says overall crime is down 2%, which is a figure easy to manipulate as shown in The Wire. But lets take it at face value, overall crime is down 2% but homicides are up.
Was this thread supposed to be an example of gun control working to cut down on gun violence? Because it kinda shows stricter gun laws have no effect what so ever on the murder rate.
Do the unarmed civilians die more than the ones in carry states?
Let me answer that for you. No.
Meanwhile crime is going down in L.A.
There will always be crime. Be it from guns, knives or something else.
ms 13 is from El Salvadore, LA is not the birthplace of it
thrompas, scraps, thrompteen.
You realize your article says that homicides are up, right?
Let's not overlook the 5% increase in rapes too...
Wrong. MS-13 was born in the Wilshire district of Los Angeles right near MacArthur Park. Pico-Union in fact, right near USC.
I lived there at the same time they were first formed. It was my first job after college and I lived right off MacArthur Park. I literally watched them get started, several of the houses on our block were MS-13 houses. This was long before some of them got deported and took their act back home to El Salvador. They ran the local crack trade from the park. You couldn't go in there at night.
"The Mara Salvatrucha gang originated in Los Angeles, set up in the 1980s by Salvadoran immigrants in the city's Pico-Union neighborhood who immigrated to the United States after the Central American civil wars of the 1980s.[11][12]
Originally, the gang's main purpose was to protect Salvadoran immigrants from other, more established gangs of Los Angeles, who were predominantly composed of Mexicans and African-Americans.[13]
Many Mara Salvatrucha gang members from the Los Angeles area have been deported after being arrested.[14] Namely, Jose Abrego, a high ranking member that was deported four times.[15] As a result of these deportations, members of MS have recruited more members in their home countries. The Los Angeles Times contends that deportation policies have contributed to the size and influence of the gang both in the United States and in Central America.[14] According to the 2009 National Gang Threat Assessment, "The gang is estimated to have 30,000 to 50,000 members and associate members worldwide, 8,000 to 10,000 of whom reside in the United States."[16]
How interesting. Cabby cries about cherry picking and here he is picking a few himself.
CA has some of the strictest gun laws in the country but no more crime per capita than places where there are concealed or open carry laws. In fact LA crime is going down while theirs is going up...and there is no shortage of illegal firearms in Los Angeles either.
The facts are no friend of the NRA.
I stand corrected
Yep M13 started up here. They deported members back to their homelands down south and the members just started the gang down in south america lol
My girlfriend used to go home for New Years and one year when I lived there I stayed home. At Midnight they started shooting into the air and I literally spent 30-40 minutes hiding under the couch hoping it would stop any stray bullets. The rooftops were covered with them shooting all sorts of guns in the air. Pistols, shotguns, Uzis......you name it. I bet they had a rocket launcher or two.
I drove through Compton on the fourth of July and I swear I saw a mushroom cloud
Sorry. I farted.
2 rocket launchers turned in at gun buyback program in LA
I wasn't trying to be funny. They are better armed than the LAPD.
They were demilitarized. Stop being a drama queen. Like OMG, get this, you can buy them at gun shows... but without the parts they wont fire. And oh get this, they are a 1 time use weapon... meaning they are fired and the tubes are discarded. Its an AT4. I used to work on them lol. You guys are idiots. And its no wonder the story was made out to be more than what it was. Idiots
I bet you Mastarabate with a gun in one hand and a bible in the other.
Stop posting pics of you man its nasty
no means no you fairy

CAMPTI, TEXAS. Campti is on Farm Road 414 eight miles northeast of Center in northeastern Shelby County. It was founded about 1880 and named for Campti, Louisiana, the hometown of many of the early residents. Its post office was established in 1902 and discontinued in 1908. The town had a store, a church, a cemetery, and several houses in 1946, but by 1988 only the church, the cemetery, and a few widely scattered houses remained.

I spend a lot of my time driving (I drive 2000+ business miles per month), but I can't spend any of that actually "studying" for the LSAT. Aside from work productivity - calls, texts, quick emails, etc - I spend my time in the car listening to audiobooks (just finished the entire Game of Thrones series), SCOTUS orals, and brainstorm my personal statement. Before I got sick, I was staying up until midnight and 1am. But I can't afford to be sick during the LSAT and I have a tendency to let sicknesses linger on, especially with the stress and hours of work inhibiting my natural recovery.
Oh my gosh. I don't know if I would be able to push through. That sounds insane! Someone should make an LSAT-on-tape study guide.
The job is from hell (and because it's nonprofit the pay sucks). I feel like it's amazing preparation for BigLaw...although in BigLaw I'll be advancing my career, getting paid well, and doing something I enjoy. I think of these two years as my time in the wilderness. Something I'll look on with stern, world-weary appreciation in my memoirs.

Waldo B. Pixley
WALDO B. PIXLEY, a general merchant of Scammon, was born in Marietta, Ohio, in 1842. At an early age he removed with his parents to Iowa, where he lived until he was 18 years of age, when he entered the Union Army. He first enlisted as a musician in Company K, 1st Reg., Iowa Vol. Inf. During his service, he was in the battle of Wilson's Creek. He was discharged August 20, 1861, in St. Louis. He reenlisted in Company E, 10th Reg., Illinois Vol. Inf., as a private, and was detailed to do duty as a musician in the regimental band. Later he was transferred to Company A, 60th Reg., Illinois Vol. Inf., under Captain Rhodes. He continued in the service as a musician until the close of the war. During that time his regiment saw active service in 21 battles, having gone through the entire campaign from Nashville to Atlanta, and to the sea. He was also in the Carolinas and participated in the Grand Review in 1865. His discharge came by General Order, No. 55, in 1865.
After the war, Mr. Pixley returned to his home in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where he was engaged in the manufacture of wagons and buggies for two years. Then he purchased a farm in that State, and pursued the occupation of farming for a few years. But there were other occupations more suited to him, and he sold his farm, purchased a stock of merchandise, and settled down as a merchant in Vernon, Van Buren County, Iowa. After being engaged in mercantile business there until 1880, he sold out, came to Kansas, and locating at Winfield was engaged in the same business for eight years.
At this time stock-raising and the real estate business seemed to be the greatest sources of money making in Kansas, and Mr. Pixley invested his money in stock and went into the stock-raising business, and at the same time dealt in real estate. He remained at Winfield until 1895, when he removed to Scammon, Cherokee County, and again became a merchant. By hard work and untiring energy, he has built up a very successful business, and has firmly established himself as a leading merchant of Scammon. In 19O1 he erected a large two-story building, so to be in better shape to attend to his ever increasing business.
Mr. Pixley is a mernber of the I. O. O. F., and is also affiliated with the Masons. His war record naturally drew him into the G. A. R., of which he has been a member for some time. Though not an active politician, he is a good, all-around Republican.
In 1865, Mr. Pixley married Augusta B. Lucrode, a native of Jackson, Missouri. To them have been born eight children, six of whom are living. The record follows: Josie, born in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, now the wife of F. W. McKinney, of Columbus, Kansas; Lucinda, born in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, who married F. W. Conrad, and has one child,Frank; Minnie, born in Vernon, Iowa; Estelle, born in Vernon, Iowa, who is the wife of J. E. Darby, and has two children, Earl and Glen; Frank, deceased at the age of 21 years; Marguerite, and Robert, both born in Winfield, Kansas; and Ralph, who died in infancy.
Mr. Pixley is a son of Benjamin Franklin and Lydia B. (Bennett) Pixley, who were natives of Ohio. The father died at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, February 12, 1882, at the advanced age of 84 years. The mother died six years later, at the same age. The father was a wagon-maker, having learned the trade in Ohio, and followed it all his life, always doing honest, conscientious work for his customers.
Mr. Pixley s grandfather was a native of Massachusetts; and his great-great-grandfather was a native of Scotland, who upon coming to America first settled in Massachusetts and later moved to Ohio.
Mr. Pixley is a man of wide knowledge of affairs, owing to the diversified character of his business career. He is courteous and agreeable in his dealings and these characteristics together with his strict integrity, are qualities that have brought to him a most flattering trade. He holds a secure place in the hearts of the citizens of Scammon and Cherokee County.

Agh, it makes me so happy that 1) you are still doing this and 2) you like Elizabeth Enright! I love the Saturday's series and the Gone Away Lake books - so good! I read them to my younger brother a few years ago :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Christina! :) I know, it's been almost exactly 3 years! And all because of you. ;) ahh I'm so glad you know those books too. I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHHH. aww that's awesome!Delete
Oo, Kings, how was that? I am very slowly but very surely falling into a Sebastian Stan... obsession faze? (I guess?) So that's suddenly on my radar. I just watched him -- along with a great huge cast -- in Labyrinth.ReplyDeleteReplies
yeeeah me too. haha Kings is interesting. I started watching it because of Sebastian but it does have an interesting idea/plot (though I wouldn't really watch it if SS was in it and I don't know if I'll finish it). (btw there's stuff in it that I skip, just so you know.)Delete
How was Labyrinth btw?
It was a decent watch. Disappointing plot-wise, but the cast made their characters interesting, and it's not too long. Some stuff to skip in that one too. (And I watched it off YouTube because I couldn't find it anywhere else... ;))Delete
The Once and Future King is a lovely read :) I discovered the awesome Lockwood & Co. series by Jonathan Stroud.ReplyDelete

Wonder if the analysts know their history. The 1975 civil war started with a worker's strike. That led to a political killing of a town mayor. The situation spiraled out of control after that and lasted until the 90s.
No joke. How about even more recent than that. May 08' - Hezbollah takes over Beirut and battles with a number of Sunni groups in the mountains east of Beirut

How to Setup Dokku on RHEL
Working in a large enterprise can be great especially if you're working on Linux systems and able to take advantage of some of the great trends in the open-source community, such as one of my favorites Dokku. But why does it seem that the Ubuntu guys get to have all the fun? What about Red Hat Enterprise Linux? Well, if you're living in a RHEL world and have been green with envy at your Ubuntu (or some other distro friends), then go download this guide and learn how to install Dokku on your RHEL box!
A few notes on the guide:
- It assumes RHEL 7 but should be compatible with most other recent versions.
- It takes into the default configuration of RHEL on Amazon EC2, however, it should work for in house systems as well.
- In a very general way, it assumes you don't have an extremely rigid firewall in terms of HTTP and ports.
Here's another little tip, if you download the guide, there's a special offer that comes with it!

This is bad news. When the fish start going belly up, there's something bad-wrong beneath the surface.
The Charlotte Business Journal's John Downey explains:
State officials say more than 7,000 striped bass have died in what is the largest reported fish kill at Lake Norman since Duke Energy started keeping records there more than 20 years ago.
But Ryan McRae with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission says the mass deaths, which began July 20, appear to be ending. More than 900 fish were found dead July 31 at the peak of the deaths. On Friday there were 127 dead fish found in the lake and on Saturday just 23.
The fish were not counted on Sunday and the Monday figures were unavailable when the Charlotte Business Journal talked to McRae.
We think we are about at the end of it today, he said.
Read the rest of this article here.
To sum up: It's hot. Because it's hot we're running our air conditioners more which ups our demand for electricity. In order to meet our demand, Duke Energy has to increase their supply. In order to do that, they have to pull more water from the lakes created to cool the company's power plants, not for your pleasure. When it gets hot, like it is now, and the temperature of the water's surface rises, the electric company has to suck water from lower, colder areas of the lake precisely where the fish have fled because hot water contains less oxygen which, like us, they need to survive.
But, who needs fish when we've got electricity? Right? It's all about us, the conquerors in the never ending struggle of Man vs. Nature. We win again! And, these are our spoils ... literally.
Here's an example of a fish kill, though this video is not from one of Charlotte's lakes:

|Sacred Heart Academy (1897-1950)[5]
Shanley High School (formerly Sacred Heart Academy), is a Catholic high school located in Fargo, North Dakota and operated by the Diocese of Fargo as part of the John Paul II Catholic Schools Network. As of 2014, it served approximately 314 students.[2] Academics are strongly oriented towards college preparatory with approximately 99% of the student body continuing to either a 2 or 4-year degree program.[2] In addition to standard academics courses, student complete required religious education courses during each academic semester.[6]
In 1882, a group of Presentation Sisters from Ireland, immigrated to Fargo, North Dakota and opened St. Joseph's Academy, the first Catholic school in Fargo.[7] In 1897, the school was renamed Sacred Heart Academy and moved into a new building on North Broadway. Sacred Heart originally provided primary and secondary education.[8] After the 1950 academic year, the school moved to a new building, and was renamed Shanley High School in honor of John Shanley, the first bishop of Fargo. Less than a decade after opening, the school was severely damaged by the 1957 Fargo tornado, an F5 tornado that destroyed much of north Fargo.[9][10]
Starting in 1964, the De LaSalle Christian Brothers began involvement with the school, acting as both administrators and teachers. Christian Brothers and Presentation Sisters would continue to work in the school until 1989.[5]
In 2001, construction began on the joint Shanley High School and Sullivan Middle School building. This $13.9 million project moved the school from its original location[a] in north Fargo to an 80-acre site in south Fargo shared with Sts. Anne & Joachim Catholic Church. The final academic year in the original building completed in May 2002.[5]
In the fall of 2010, Shanley High School completed construction and expansion of existing activities facilities along with the creation of a multi-purpose football and soccer field named "Sid Cichy Stadium" in honor of one of the program's former coaches. The project includes plans for a baseball field as well as track and field facilities.[11][12]
Throughout the 1950s to 1970s, Shanley's football team rose to prominence under head coach Sid Cichy. Throughout his tenure (1948-1977) the team won 16 state titles and completed 11 undefeated seasons. At one time the Deacons held the record for longest consecutive unbeaten streak in the country, having won 59 games in a row.[13][14]
In 2009, Shanley was reclassed to "AA", the second level of North Dakota's four-class football system.[15]

Shanley High boasted a nationally renowned forensics program under Dr. Robert Littlefield in the early 2000s.[citation needed] Particularly successful in Policy and Lincoln Douglas debate, Shanley's debate program achieved additional international recognition after winning the 2012-2013 International Public Policy Forum debate competition, winning $10,000 in scholarships and funding for the program.[25]
Choral department[edit]
Shanley is home to a large choral program with two choirs, the Concert Chorale and the Varsity Choir, both directed by Patrick McGuire. Members of the choir are also able to participate in numerous music festivals and competitions.[26] In the fall of 2005, Shanley's Concert Chorale was given the designation of "Governor's Choir" for the state of North Dakota.[27]

Deacon Day[edit]
Deacon Day is Shanley High School's annual day of service. This generally occurs in the fall during the school's homecoming week and stands as a strong marker of Shanley's commitment to Catholic social teachings. Faculty and staff members lead groups of students as they serve at a variety of locations in the Fargo-Moorhead community. All Shanley students participate in this day of community service. In the past, students have served at homeless shelters, food banks, churches, schools, parks, and other non-profits in the area. September 24, 2014 marked the 16th annual Deacon Day.[11][28]
Students for Life[edit]
For years Shanley High School has had a strong and active Teens for Life group. Due to their substantial pro-life activism, the Students for Life of America Conference named Shanley's Teens for Life group the National Pro-Life High School Group of the year in 2013. Shanley was honored again in 2014 when the National March-for-Life Committee selected Shanley to carry the lead banner in the 2015 National March-for-Life in Washington, DC. Shanley High School plans to have the entire student body march in the 2015 March-for-Life.[15][29]
Know Your Faith competition[edit]
On January 30, 2014 at St. Mary's Central High School, Shanley won the fourth annual Know Your Faith state competition. The contest occurs during National Catholic Schools Week and is meant as a celebration of Catholic learning and community. The four Catholic High Schools of North Dakota (Bismarck St. Mary's, Dickinson Trinity, Minot Ryan and Fargo Shanley) face off against one another in a definitive Catholic trivia challenge. Shanley was the first school to beat incumbent champions St. Mary's Central since the competition began.[30]
Notable alumni[edit]

Useless Information via The Oatmeal
May 10, 2011
Ok, so I know I often spout useless facts. (Ok, so that's an understatement, but at least I'm not an axe murderer. I mean, geez. Don't be so hard on me.) but seriously, The Oatmeal is simply full of useless facts! (YAY!) So here is a fun, informational design with [useless] facts about the male angler fish. (Though I suppose these might be useful to a marine biologist or something. Maybe.)
This is worth your time because:
1. It's well layed-out.
2. It shows that informational design guidelines can be entertaining!
3. This is a borderline-comic with subliminal learning experiences. And comics are fun. Everyone loves comics. If you make them, everyone will love you! Hooray!
Look at this: HEY JUDE Informational Design for fun.
May 10, 2011
There is nothing better than a well-designed information design or flow chart for very obvious information. I like this one because it makes a pop-culture reference (Which is amusing) and uses color coding effectively (Useful! Well, not really – but these colors would be useful if this were real). I like the simple font as well (It's Future! Well, not really. But it looks good, eh?)
Let's review! This piece is worth analyzing as an informational design because:
1. It uses coloration effectively.
2. It has a simple and gridded design.
3. It's humorous. What's better than a funny, pop-culture reference? Um, nothing.
Rami Niemi – Online Portfolio
May 10, 2011
THIS IS RAMI NIEMI. This person is quite nifty. Their site appeals to me because the design of the site matches the artwork: clean, simplistic, highly legible text with some comic personality to match the artwork and saturated swatches (or none at all). This site seems like it's under renovation, but I especially like the contact bubble at the top right. It gives it personality and also conveys a conversational-vibe while meshing well with the rest of the site's personality. I think many artists treat their website's design differently than their overall works' vibes, so I especially like that everything matches on this site. Well done.
Nicholas Wilson, Self-Promotional Piece
May 10, 2011
This is a really exceptional self-promotional piece by Nicholas Wilson. It incorporates many mediums which have a really organic appeal. It's very organized, original, and distinctively recycled looking. What I like most is how empty space is treated. The business cards container literally devotes an entire casing to one little pile of business cards (with two distinctive rounded edges alternating with square-cut edges). There are many boxes and compartments within the overall packaged design which from an pictured experience might seem convoluted, but I imagine when one actually handles this promotional grouping, it might be a lot like unwrapping a very beautiful gift. I especially like the wooden cover of the portfolio book. It just seems very sophisticated and yet approachable. I love this thing.
The Oatmeal: Nonsense Made Organized
May 3, 2011
The Oatmeal was created by Matthew Inman, who essentially makes brief comics or commentary with clean forms of design. Sometimes, his sarcasm forces him to jokingly use informational designs to emphasize how stupid some serious issues are. Other times he will make the absurd seem intelligent. Regardless, his use of informational design is clever. To the left is one of his earlier designs. Organized and interesting… and pretty much useless. Hooray!
Shark Week.
March 29, 2011
Anyone who knows me moderately well is probably aware that I think sharks are the coolest thing since sliced bread. (However, since sharks are prehistoric creatures – therefore existing before bread ever existed – I think we really ought to be saying that sliced bread is the best thing since sharks.) When Shark Week is on the Discovery Channel during the summer, I am glued to the television. I put everything on hold (ie: the gym, work, family, eating, etc.) and I watch as much Shark Week as I can. I digress. Point being, how sweet is this logo? (And I'm not just being biased here because I happen to think sharks are beautiful). It's straight-forward, the negative space conveys the dorsal fin without making the text confusing, and it looks nifty as an animation, which shark week used as a screen-corner "bug" to promote shark week (in the animation, the negative space of the shark literally swims through the text.)
Designed by: Kristian Mercado
You Tube
March 29, 2011
I admire the design of the YouTube logo. It is a simple design, which is easily read and recognized. It evokes the form of a television or video, which reveals what their service is: Video sharing. I think this is a great identity design because it uses simple colors and it's similar the the TV GUIDE logo, which has a similar concept behind it, although it is a written publication. I cannot find the original logo's designer, however, the original YouTube website was original created by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. YouTube is one of my favorite websites of all time and I think its logo really represents what it stands for: a simple way to share your video experiences.

More than feature, R'Jio caught attention when PM Narendra Modi posed for its advertisements
As soon as Mukesh Ambani – Chairman of Reliance Industries Limited launched the much hyped Reliance Jio, the cheapest data rates plan globally; it became the talk of the town. More than its feature, R'Jio caught people's attention when Prime Minister Narendra Modi posed for its advertisements. Aftab ties to unbutton the 'Ad Controversy' as well as explore more about Reliance Jio
Many slam Reliance Jio for featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The day its advertisement started to float in digital world, people—especially the twitter brigade— started questioning the morals of central government for promoting the private endeavor.
Mukesh Ambani announced Reliance Jio 4G during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Mumbai on September 1. As part of its marketing tactic, the company put out full page advertisements of Reliance Jio in many national dailies on the very next day.
The ad was not an ordinary one as it was featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi's photo in the advertisements. The ad reads, "Dedicated to India and 1.2 billion Indians." Ambani also said that it's his contribution to Modi's Digital India dream.
"In the journey of time, there come a few life changing moments. Our honourable Prime Minister's inspiring vision of a Digital India is one such movement. Jio is dedicated to realising our Prime Minister's Digital India vision for 1.2 billion Indians. Jio Digital Life will give the power of data to each Indian, to fulfill every dream and collectively take India to the global digital leadership," Ambani added during AGM.
"Jio Modi Jio" – Political Controversy
As the ad appeared people started reacting to this, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter and called Modi "PM as Mr Reliance". In a series of tweets Delhi CM reminded Prime Minister that his coziness with Reliance will create a problem in next Lok Sabha election.
Kejriwal specifically tweeted, "Modi ji, you keep advertising for Reliance. People of this country will teach you a lesson in 2019."
But it's not only the political rival Kejriwal, who tweeted against PM's gesture but many others also questioned the legality of using Modi's picture in the advertisement run by an conglomerate. The question arise that why BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) a government organization was neglected badly.
A number of people in government machineries raised finger over it and said, "Modi should think first about government projects rather endorsing the private companies." "Upgrade spectrum could be provided to BSNL to launch 4G services or equivalent schemes under the super vision of supreme leader as well as he can promote the new schemes as the brand ambassador. But, the PM had made his efforts to promote Reliance jio as brand ambassador."
Ambani's Stand Against Controversy
Dismissing all the allegations over the ad, Ambani clarifies that the vision of Prime Minister has inspired him and Jio and that is why we are dedicating our service to the India's leader, to India and 1.2 billion Indians and there's nothing political about this."
Jio is a Tech, Not Telecom Company. Talking about R'Jio, Ambani said, "Latest technology is my obsession and I wish I was 30 years old today so I can see more inventions. Opportunities are huge in this era."
Well, with the ad that has gone viral, Reliance got much more publicity than it could ever get and Mukesh Ambani should thank 'PM Modi' for it!
Confusion between Reliance 4G (RCom 4G) and Reliance Jio (Jio 4G)
Both the companies—Reliance 4G and Jio 4G— are different along with different frequency as RCom 4G is running on 850 Mhz while Jio 4G is running on Band 40 (2300 Mhz) but both the 4G networks are managed by same infrastructure owned by Jio. However, Jio customers would get some more benefits like access to Jio series apps besides Jio 4G data plans would be over 50% cheaper than RCom 4G.
Mukesh Ambani led telco has built solid data network and present in most of the highways and villages, even where 2G networks are not available. But in case of RCom 4G, RCom customers would be able to access 2G and 3G networks of Reliance Mobile and Aircel, depends on circle to circle. Also Jio's VoLTE faces issues as sometimes the call quality is poor & cracks so RCom's regular voice would give them an edge over Jio.
Features of Reliance Jio
Reliance Jio is world's largest startup with Rs 150,000 crore investment and recently launched by Mukesh Ambani.
Here are some key aspects that make Reliance Jio different from all the existing telecom providers:
*Free Voice Calls: Jio will be the first telecom provider to offer free voice calls across India. There is no concept of national roaming charges, only international roaming charges are applicable.
*Built For Data: Unlike all existing telecom providers, Jio is not built for voice. It has created all-IP network centered around the ever growing data needs of the Indian populace.
*Cheapest Data Plans: With Jio, data plans start from Rs 149/month. In addition, while other providers offer data packs for 2G/3G for Rs 150 to 250 per GB, Jio will offer customers 4G data at Rs 50 per GB. It will also offer unlimited 4G data at night.
*Maximum Coverage: Jio is the largest only 4G LTE network in the world and will cover 90% of India's population by March 2017, with presence in over 18,000 cities and 2 lakh villages.
*No Blackout Days, No Surge Pricing: Unlike other telcos, Jio users will not have any blackout days or surge pricing on important days and festivals.
*Future Ready: With its recent investment in telecommunication infrastructure, the network is future ready for technological advances to 5G, 6G and beyond. The data capacity is also burstable, implying it can support more data when users and consumption increases.
*Simple Tariff Plans: Unlike most telcos, which offer a wide range of plans depending on the user's voice and data usage, Jio will offer just 10 tariff plans based on data alone. The plans are extremely simple to follow and don't overburden users with excessive options.
Important things to know before you get Jio 4G SIM
*The Jio is a hardcore 4G service. It would not work on feature phones, 2G or 3G phones. So, make sure you have a phone with 4G compatibility. However, Reliance JIo tied up with Intex and already launched budget Android smart phones with LTE support.
*To make calls, Jio uses VoLTE network or data connection, so for voice calling data usage would be high.
*To make calls to GSM means calls to Airtel and Vodafone numbers etc, you will have to install an app called 'Jio Join' because the calls will use interconnecting infrastructure that current telecom operators use.
*If you want a Jio SIM and are in Delhi or Mumbai, go to a Jio store with your Aadhar card, this will simplify the process of getting the SIM. In other parts of the country, the same process will be rolled out soon.
*The Jio SIM cards are free. Jio's Data, Voice, Video and the full bouquet of Jio applications and content will be available free for everyone till December 31, 2016.
*Jio services are free until December 31, after that you will pay around Rs 50 per GB. But students will get 25 per cent more data once the commercial plans get active.

By Katie Kearsey Is your fitness routine getting stale? Do you feel like you've hit a wall and your workout isn't yielding any more results? Are you losing motivation knowing that bathing suit season is winding down? Let social media help you get back on track with these tips and pointers.
Get motivated. If you're having trouble finding the motivation to lace up your sneakers, look to Facebook and Twitter for inspiration and encouragement. One way to do this is to state your fitness goals and ask your friends, Facebook fans and/or followers to encourage you and hold you accountable for your actions. Another way to do this is to find, 'like' and follow inspirational people and fitness gurus on Facebook and Twitter. Some Twitter accounts worth checking out and following are @JoeGigantino, @MyTrainerBob, @IdeaFit, @FitStudio, @HealthHabits, @FitnessRepublic, and @MensHealthMag or @WomensHealthMag.
Join a community. One of the best characteristics of social media is its ability to create a community of like-minded people across great distances. This feature is especially useful for fitness, where workout tips and routines, healthy recipes and encouraging words can easily be shared.
One website that does this particularly well is Spark People, which offers tools to make healthy living fun, easy & social. In addition to providing great content, it's possible to create your own personalized diet & fitness plans and to connect with others on the website. Spark People is also on Facebook and Twitter, and frequently posts engaging and valuable content for fans and followers.
Another type of community worth looking for is one that continues both on and offline. The gym that several of my co-workers and I belong to in Boston, GymIt, truly understands social media and its ability to create and maintain an encouraging and motivational environment 24/7.

* EDF down after CFO quits
* JP Morgan cuts equities to underweight
* Old Mutual boosted by break-up talk
By Danilo Masoni
MILAN, March 7 (Reuters) - European shares fell on Monday, led lower by a slump in utility EDF after a senior executive quit, and by weaker bank stocks which were impacted by some broker price target cuts.
European stocks have rallied recently after a rocky start to 2016, as oil prices recovered and fears over a U.S. economic slowdown abated. Nevertheless, the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index remains down around 7 percent so far in 2016.
JP Morgan Cazenove reduced its rating on equities to "underweight" for the first time since 2007, saying the recent market rebound was set to peter out.
The FTSEurofirst, which had risen to one-month highs on Friday after three straight weeks of gains, was down 1 percent going into the close of the trading session.
EDF fell 7.2 percent, after Finance Director Thomas Piquemal resigned. The French group did not say why he quit but a source familiar with the matter said it concerned EDF's plan to build two nuclear reactors in Hinkley Point, in Britain.
The 18 billion pound ($25.5 billion) project in southwest England was first announced in October 2013 but a final investment decision has been repeatedly delayed.
"This decision is clearly negative for the group, as it underscores the significant difference in opinions within the group concerning this project which, if realised as it is, will put the group's financial situation under pressure," said Xavier Caroen, analyst at Bryan Garnier.
Old Mutual rose 6.5 percent as the company said it was considering strategic options following a Sky News report on Saturday that the financial services company was plotting a 9 billion pounds break-up.
However, banking shares lost ground, with Goldman Sachs cutting its price targets on Credit Agricole and Societe Generale, while JP Morgan cut its price target on Barclays.
European banks may also be adversely impacted if the European Central Bank pushes its deposit rate deeper into negative territory on Thursday in a bid to boost economic activity in the euro zone.
While such a move could encourage banks to lend out more, it could also hit their profit margins.
"Bank lending rates continue to come down, especially in the periphery, suggesting that banks are not able to recoup margins through raising lending rates," said Elga Bartsch, global co-head of economics at Morgan Stanley. ($1 = 0.7062 pounds)

Wong's Chinese Restaurant
of 13 reviews
692 N Loudoun St, Winchester, VA - Map
this restaurant delivers
On Sunday, August 23, 2015 my daughter and I had lunch at Wong's Chinese Restaurant, 692 North Loudoun Street, in Winchester, Virginia. Hours are Monday-Thursday, 11:00 AM-9:30 PM; Friday and Saturday, 11:00 AM-10:30 PM; Sunday, 12:00 PM-9:30 PM.
The telephone number is (540) 667-2344. Wong's offers eat in, carry out, and delivery service. Off-street parking is available in a gravel parking lot behind the building which is also accessible from North Cameron Street.
Entry is through a vestibule with a door on its left side. The single room has four booths along the left wall, three tables next to the booths, and four tables in the back. There are two tables along the right wall, and a bar with six stools toward the back on that side.
A single TV set is in the corner of the wall above and behind the bar, and the cashier's station is beyond the bar. The windows have lattice structures on the inside, and Oriental decorations are on the walls here and there.
The twelve-page menu's categories include Polynesian Drinks, Cocktails and Liquors, Appetizers, Soup, Chef's Specialties, Diet Corner, Seafood, Beef, Pork, Poultry, Chef's Special Noodle Dish, Fried Rice, Lo Mein or Chow Mein, Children's Dinner, Combination Platters, and American Menu.
We started out with Shrimp Toast from the Appetizer Menu, which was very good. My daughter ordered Shrimp with Lobster Sauce from the Seafood menu, and a Coke because she was told that iced tea was not available.
I chose Four Season from the Chef's Specialties, which was listed as 'a savory blend of lobster, shrimp, chicken, and roast pork with Chinese mixed vegetables, served with crispy wonton', and had a pot of hot tea. We were given a single shared bowl of white rice.
My daughter found her shrimp dish very good, and commented on the large shrimp. However, I was disappointed with my order because the meat had not been stir-fried sufficiently, and was mushy; also, I did not receive any wonton.
I ate only part of my serving and did not think the remainder worth taking home. We were the only patrons during most of our stay, but a group of four arrived before we left.
I was not impressed with our service. My daughter later found iced tea on the menu, but the waitress argued that it was not an option with the section of the menu she had ordered from.
Also, we were presented with the bill without being asked about dessert, which was included in my daughter's order; she had to insist that she was entitled to almond cookies. I had not eaten at Wong's for a number of years, and went to see what it was like today. Now that I know, I'll not be back.
Perry Crabill
I have been eating at Wong's for years (more than I care to remember) and it has always been a great food experience. I usually order their Bean Sprouts with Shrimp, Hot and Sour Soup, Fried Rice and Vegetable Spring Roll. No other restaurant around offers Bean Sprouts and Shrimp. It is great for the dieter or the diabetic, just as for a smaller serving of rice. Everything is well seasoned, hot and tasty. The service is fast and polite. The decor is not the reason I eat in this restaurant, it great food. Where else can you get a quality/quantity lunch served on linen table cloths for a very reasonable price.

Ordered from Wong's for the first time tonight. The General Tso's combo meal was very flavorful; however, I thought it wasn't spicy enough. The wonton soup and egg roll were also very good. It was actually too much food to finish.

Tips on buying outdoor rocking chairs
Rocking chair – just an investment
The outdoor rocking chairs provide great relief after a hectic long day schedule. Buying an outdoor rocking chair is not less than an investment for you. This is because if you are able to select the right outdoor rocking chair it will become your important accessory for many years. Here we will discuss about the tips on buying outdoor rocking chairs.
Select a material according to your porch or patio
Before making your mind on your outside rocking chair you need to make sure that it does not look odd in your porch or on your veranda. If you have traditional decoration in your home and you like simple furniture than wooden rocking chair is best for you. Moreover you can opt for white rocking chairs if you home are old. In the same way if your home has a contemporary design then you should go for dark coloured rocking chairs like black, brown and deep green.
Choose outdoor rocking chair according to the climate
If you place gets lot of rain or snow then you should not get wooden porch rocking chairs. However in this situation you can go for wooden chairs with a waterproofing finish. The wooden chairs made from teak and cypresses are ideal for rough weather. If you are looking for sturdy and long lasting furniture you can go for outdoor chairs in resin. No matter how tough and strong your rocking chair is but it would be affected if left for long in the open. Due to this you need to buy cover for your chairs which will protect your chair from heat, light, dust and fog. You should take your chairs inside during winters so that they do not fade.
Pay attention to the function of your rocking chair
If you are a mom you would like to go for a rocking chair in which you can rock with your baby while making him sleep. Similarly if you want to throw a party in your lawn you would like to go for rocking chairs with bright and attractive cushions. Since the outdoor rocking chairs are available in various design and size you can always choose the best one which serves your purpose. You should also ensure that your outside rocking chair should be rough and tough to accommodate both children and adults.
These are some of the important tips you should consider while buying out door rocking chairs.

The World Health Organization projects the majority of the world's heart attack patients will be Asian Indian within a few years. South Asians, who are predominantly Indians and Pakistanis, make up one-third of the world's population and have the highest prevalence of heart disease and diabetes. Dr. Ronesh Sinha, an internal medicine specialist in Silicon Valley, CA, recipient of the 2013 Silicon Valley Business Journal Health Care hero award, and TEDx speaker, specializes in helping patients of South Asian heritage moderate heart disease risk factors and obesity trends with a comprehensive lifestyle modification approach that has delivered exceptional results. Dr. Sinha's The South Asian Health Solution is the first book to provide an ancestral health-based wellness plan culturally tailored for South Asians. In particular, South Asians living outside of India in countries such as the United States, England, and Canada, show an even greater disease risk due to their immersion into Western dietary and lifestyle habits.
This book covers some of the following topics:
South Asian-specific risk factors and how to accurately interpret cholesterol and body composition readings
Key lifestyle changes for weight loss and disease prevention
Three common cultural myths that lead to unhealthy habits
How to effectively manage sleep, stress, and fatigue
And specific tips for women, children, and seniors.

Life changing book
The book is filled with so many great health advice, everytime I hear it I learn something new.
I haven't come across a book focused on South Asian health. In general, I would probably compare it with "How not To Die"
With his analogy and right amount of theoretical & practical advice; Dr. Sinha presents a very complex material in a simple to understand manner
Small changes make big difference
I wish to see more such books

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I prefer the 2nd version over the first. I'd say both are good but this one seem to have more variation in the first bit of the melody than the first version. Feels less dragged out. :p
haha exactly. It didn't really sounded like anything you could remember as a melody. I only really liked the last 8 bars of the melody, so i kept these. The rest i changed.
PotencY - HouseWarming
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I'm in love with the melody! You can keep listening to it over and over again. It flows through my mind so well. I think the ending fits well with the beggining so you don't really realise when the melody is over :) In my opinion, i would add a greasy bass in the background along with the pad(s)/synth, or whatever its called:O Nice job!
Oh that is actually a good idea 0.o, gonna try that.
Also, thanks for the warm compliment about my melody :D means a lot.
Don't you think the first stage of the melodie is a bit.. boring compared to the second ?

Working Papers from Centre for Business Research, University of Cambridge
A number of recent national and EU initiatives have sought explicitly to encourage innovative firms and venture capital finance. In keeping with the policy debate, this paper focuses explicitly on the role of law and lawyers in facilitating venture capital: that is, both supply by investors, and demand by entrepreneurs. It reviews existing literature in a way that seeks to clarify the links between law and legal institutions and the facilitation of venture capital finance, identifies open research questions and suggests a number of hypotheses. As such, it forms the first part of a wider study which will seek to test these hypotheses

Question: pain, abscess, thrush, migraines, etc.
|angel31523 - Sun Mar 23, 2008 9:54 pm

I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I'm trying to figure out if all my symptoms are somehow connected.
I am a 25 y/o female and starting in 1995 began going to the doctor over abdominal pain. They could not find the cause of the pain but diagnosed me with high cholesterol and having migraine headaches. I was never put on medication for the cholesterol and they never followed up on it (not sure why...I was 12 at the time).
In the past 5 years the abdominal pain has gotten much worse and I will have it on either side and sometimes in my lower back. I have gone to the ER over it and they can find no cause. One night my boss sent me to the ER because I was very dizzy and disoriented and they could find no reason for it.
I got pregnant in 2006 and most of my symptoms went away besides the headaches. Then months after having my daughter I developed multiple abscesses in my breasts and in my armpits. I was not breastfeeding and it had been over 3 months since I had given birth (I was not and had not been developing milk for quite a while and my breast surgeon did not think it was related to having given birth). Some were deep in the tissue and some were just under the skin, and would grow to the size of golf balls within days and I had around 8 total within a few weeks. A few months after that I developed a severe case of thrush in my mouth (that has not been the first time I have had thrush). My doctor tested me for diabetes which came back negative, but he noted that my cholesterol was at 270 (? not sure what that means but he never followed up on that).
I am now having the abdominal pain quite often and can find no cause or connection with my period, or whether any of my other symptoms may be connected. It will literally drop me to my knees and I won't be able to move when I have it. At least once every few days I have also been "blacking out" where, while I'm standing, my vision turns completely black but I don't lose consciousness. Again, I'm not sure if that is connected.
Am I completely crazy or could there be a cause for all this?????
Thank you so much in advance for any help or advice!

Abdominal pain is sometimes the most difficult symptom to diagnose. If persistent the usual causes need to be ruled out. That would be the gall bladder, the liver, hyperacidity, GERD or hiatus hernia, Pancreas, kidney stones, metabolic causes like porphyria and diabetic ketoacidosis etc.
Getting thrush several times without diabetes is a bit unusual and you may ask your doctor is an immunology consultation needed.
Cholesterol level in childhood and young females like you is a controversial matter and no consensus has evolved about its importance or treatment. In 1995 you would be 14 and no physician would prescribe you a statin at that age. Even now at age of 24, I do not think your need a cholesterol treatment in absence of any atherosclerotic vascular disease.
Take care,

2011 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Good car. Better than the 2007 TL that I traded in for. Good ride and comfort. Nothing is wearing out. Only one problem is the front drivers seat is loose and can only be fixed with new parts, which are too expensive so it will stay as it is. Doesn't effect driving, just annoying sometimes.
2011 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
The 2011 Maxima SV is an overall great car. Not only is the sports sedan great for people with kids who just can't bring themselves to travel around in a minivan, but it handles well, gets great gas mileage, and makes driving less of a chore and more of an adventure. Really, I love to find an excuse, any excuse, to drive this car. And it has plenty of room in the trunk for groceries, and for my large dog (who has not quite gotten used to the fact that we no longer have a hatchback vehicle and she can't just ride in there). I don't know how I survived without a dual sunroof, heated and cooled seats, or a heated steering wheel. And the pickup...when you press the gas, it GOES.
I have to admit, I'm all about the cosmetic aspects. However, this is probably the fastest vehicle I have ever had. I really like the lack of hesitation when you accelerate, it takes curves well, it is just overall a fun vehicle to drive - and you look good doing it! MPG is great; I drive roughly 300 miles/week city/highway and only have to fill up once a week. Premium is recommended, but not required, which gives you some flexibility there for the times you may be a little shorter on cash.
Please, either fix or get rid of the CVT technology. Nissan knows it is a problem in several of their vehicles during previous years, but will not admit that the 2011 Maximas have issues, too. At 76,000 miles I found myself replacing (yes, replacing) my transmission. I contacted corporate multiple times, but Nissan refused to admit that anything was wrong with their product, leaving me to fight with my aftermarket warranty company to cover the $3400 replacement cost. If you choose to purchase a Maxima, whether new OR used/certified preowned, do yourself a favor and make sure you've got money in the bank to cover a transmission, because chances are, you're going to need it prematurely!
2011 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I've had it long enough to ensure a quantify review. I've had no issues with anything in or in the car.
Mine is maxed out and is a pure pleasure to drive. No Mechanical issues whatsoever.
My has the sport suspension so its a bit bumpy on poor roads, on good roads its a dream.
The Trans in this car is not for performance, its to save on gas, its NOT a sports car regardless of what Nissan says, cvt cant be a sports transmission. I find myself using the paddle shifters much of the time.
Interior is really good, and exterior makes for one beautiful car.
If Nissan would put 4x drive in these cars they would sell many more. Improve or replace the transmission with the one the Infiniti comes with. Better yet, put the Infiniti power plant and drive train in this baby and watch sales skyrocket. Because of the nearly 300 hp, torque steering is an issue. 4x drive would fix this. Put more clear coat on the front, bugs and rocks play hell with the front.
2011 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I bought my 2011 SV Sport right as the 2012s were coming out so I got a decent deal. I was really looking at Infiniti G37s but those dealers werent negotiating.
The sport package is the best looking version, IMO due to the 19 inch wheels and smoked headlights, and its equipped with some of the extra goodies I would have wanted anyways.
As of 9/17/12, I am just shy of 7000 miles on the odo.
What I like about this car is the comfortable seats, compliant ride, and pretty good MPGS for a nearly 300hp car. The styling is a bit polarizing but at least nothing else really looks like it.
I do have some quips. The tires Nissan chose are an absolute shame. Goodyear RSAs are the cheapest 19 inch tire they could find. If the car sits for more than 1 day, the front tires get flat spots and shake the steering wheel for several miles. My driver side mirror has already been replaced due to a malfuncion, and there was a clicking sound that was coming from the drivetrain early on which went away after a dealer visit. But, they claimed they didnt hear anything. The paint quality & it's resistance to swirls is somewhat dubious. I would have been willing to give up a couple MPG with a conventional automatic verses the CVT. Finally, why is Nissans "flagship" smaller than an Altima?
2011 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Nothing but problems with my 2011 dual sun (or moon) roof.
Last summer car was brand new and in the shop of a month.
Well summer is here again and the car is back in the shop.
I'm not sure if its the tracks that have a problem when they get heated by the sun but I feel like I got a real lemon.
Everything including the roof lining interior has already been replaced once.
Here we go again ;-(

New York City quickly announced it would get rid of devices that could turn phone booths into cellphone trackers after the program was revealed this morning.
A Buzzfeed investigation published today found that the city allowed 500 radio transmitters, called "beacons," to be installed in pay phone booths, apparently thickly concentrated in lower and mid-Manhattan. A few hours later, the Mayor's office said they would have them removed.
Though they could be woven into a location-aware advertising network, the beacons are there for maintenance notifications only and are not yet being used for commercial purposes, according to Titan, the firm that runs the advertising displays for thousands of city phone booths. There was no public announcement when the devices were installed.
Titan uses beacons made by a company called Gimbal, which connect with phones and have the ability to send notifications – for instance, a store might use them to alert customers to discounts – and to collect data.
