How to get the shares dematted
(A) Opening a demat account
A demat account needs to be opened with any one Depository Participant (DP) of investor's choice. For list of Depository Participants, please visit https://nsdl.co.in/dpsch.php
An account can be opened with a DP by:
- Filling up the account opening form available with DP (one can open multiple accounts with the same DP as also with different DPs).
- Signing Participant - Client Agreement.
- While opening demat account, the holder will be required to give details of his Bank Account No., Name of the Bank and Branch, as part of the information requirement. Karvy will print the same details in the Dividend Warrants or any remittances payable based on the details furnished by the Investor to DP.
- Investor will receive his account number which should be quoted in all his correspondences with his DP and also to the Karvy.
- Please note that the order of names appearing in the demat account and the share certificates should be same.
(B) Dematerialising (Dematting) physical certificates
- In order to get the shares dematerialised, the investor needs to fill a Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF) which is available with the DP. The share certificates are to be submitted alongwith the duly filled up form to the DP.
- On receipt of the DRF, the DP will transmit the DRF to Karvy and electronically generate the Dematerialisation Request.
- DRF along with share certificates with a seal "Surrendered for dematerialisation" affixed on the share certificates will be sent by the DP to Karvy
- Karvy will verify the certificates and DRF, and if found in order, confirm the dematerialisation to NSDL/CDSL. NSDL/CDSL will in turn confirm the dematerialisation to the DP.
- On receiving the confirmation, DP will credit investor's account with the number of shares so dematerialised and thereafter the investor will be holding the shares in the electronic form.
- Normally the investor's account will be credited within 15 days from the date of receipt of both Electronic Request and physical certificates along with DRF.
- DP will give periodic statements of holdings and will update client's account after each transaction.
Benefits of Dematerialisation
The following are the advantages which the investor avails by getting his shares dematted.
- No stamp duty for transfer of securities in the Depository System. In the case of physical shares, stamp duty of 0.5% of sale value is payable on transfer of shares.
- Elimination of bad deliveries and all risks associated with physical certificates such as loss in transit, theft, mutilation, damage, etc.
- Facility for freezing/locking of investor accounts to make it non-operational for specified period.
- Instead of filling up transfer deed(s) a simpler form is to be given to the DP.
- Facility to pledge and hypothecate securities. Pledging dematerialised securities is easier and advantageous as compared to pledging physical shares. In respect of shares in "compulsory demat" category, banks prefer to lend against shares held in electronic form, and offer better terms.
- Odd lots are not differentiated in the electronic system. Even a single share can be traded at the market rates without any reduction in realisation.
- Just like a bank branch, the DP will give a periodical statement of account of holdings. In addition, investor can obtain a statement of holdings as and when required for a fee.
- In case investor loses the statement of holdings, he can inform his DP and obtain a duplicate statement. Investor's statement of holdings cannot be used by anybody else for trading in his account.
- When an investor opens an account with a DP, he signs an agreement with the DP in which the DP will indemnify the investor for any misuse of his holdings. The depository will also ensure that the interests of the investor are protected. Grievances, if any, against his DP will be resolved by the Depository.
- Every transaction in investor's account will have to be authorised by him which ensures total control of the investor over his investment.
Rematerialisation of Shares
It is possible to re-convert securities held in electronic form after demat, back to physical holding. 'Rematerialisation' is the term used for converting electronic holdings back into physical certificates.
How to get the shares rematted
- Any investor wishing to convert securities held in electronic form to physical form, has to submit a Rematerialisation Request Form (RRF) to his DP for rematerialisation of the same.
- DP will electronically transmit RRF to Karvy and generate Rematerialisation Request No (RRN).
- RRF submitted by the investor will be sent by the DP to Karvy.
- Karvy will verify the RRF and confirm the rematerialisation to NSDL/CDSL. NSDL/CDSL will remove the securities rematerialised from the investor account.
- Karvy will print the certificates and forward the same to the company for the signature of the authorised officials in the certificates for onward transmission to the investor.
How to Trade in electronic / demat shares
Buying and selling of electronic shares is just like buying and selling physical shares - the only difference is that trading in electronic shares is simpler, faster and safer:
- If an investor wishes to sell his electronic shares, he has to place his order with his broker and instruct his DP by way of a Delivery Instruction (which is similar to a cheque) to debit his account with the number of shares sold by him.
- When he buys electronic shares, he must inform his broker about his depository account number so that the electronic shares bought by him can be credited into his account, also, he has to instruct his DP by way of Receipt Instruction to receive credit in his account. Instead of giving a receipt instruction for each purchase, a standing instruction can be given to the DP.
- Payment for electronic shares either bought or sold is made in the same way as in case of physical securities.

- Please always keep a copy/record of specimen signature lodged with the company at the time of applying for new shares or lodging transfer documents for transfer of shares as transferee.

- Thereafter the request for issue of duplicate certificate will be placed for the approval of the Stakeholders Relationship Committee of the Company.
- After approval is received, Karvy would print the duplicate share certificates for onward transmission to the investor.
Electronic Clearing Service (ECS)
Reserve Bank of India has introduced Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) for facilitating crediting of dividend directly to the shareholder's bank account. This facility eliminates loss of dividend warrants sent by post due to pilferage in transit, delay in receipt of dividend warrants and ensures quick credit of the dividend.
Under this arrangement, the payment instructions would be issued electronically through our Banker to the Clearing Authority (Reserve Bank of India) and the Clearing Authority would supply credit reports to the Bank with which shareholder maintains his / her Account and his/her bank will give instant credit to shareholders account.
In order to avail ECS facility, investors are required to submit the request in the prescribed form. This form should be accompanied by a photocopy of a cheque for verifying the accuracy of the MICR code number. The duly filled up form should be submitted:
- In case of shares held in physical form, to Karvy. Separate sheets should be used for each folio. The information will be kept confidential and will be utilised only for the purpose of effecting payments meant for holders.
- In case of shares held in demat form, to the DP, ECS mandate can be submitted at the time of opening the demat account itself.
The Company offers two electronic platforms for credit of dividend i.e. (a) Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) and (b) National Electronic Clearing System (NECS). The advantages of NECS over ECS include faster credit of remittances to beneficiary's account and coverage of more bank branches. NECS operates on the unique bank account number (having not less than 10 digits) allotted by banks post implementation of the Core Banking Solutions. The NECS compliant account number is required to be intimated to your Depository Participant (in case your shares are in demat mode) or to the Company's RTA, (in case your shares are in physical mode) for us to effect the dividend payment through the NECS mode. Members are encouraged to use the electronic platform for receiving dividends.
Incorporating Bank Account particulars in dividend warrants
Investors may provide details of their Bank Account i.e. name of the Bank, Branch & A/c No. to enable printing these on the dividend warrants. This will help to reduce possibility of any fraudulent interception and encashment of dividend warrant. The Warrants will be posted to the registered address of the investor, wherever dividend mandate is not registered with the Company.
In case of physical shares, the bank account particulars must be furnished to Karvy.
In case of demat shareholding, the bank account details must be furnished to the Depository Participant (DP). Normally these details are furnished at the time of opening the demat account.

A couple months ago, a good friend who operates a very successful bed and breakfast here in the Arizona desert asked if we would be willing to accommodate guests when she wound up with double bookings. As a favor to her, we agreed. Then the wheels started turning and our mindset about our homestead changed a bit.
While our fairly frugal budget and our current income permit us to live simply and well, it is pretty much a no-frills operation here. We decided we could use some more consistent extra income here at the homestead to make visiting our kids and grandkids easier.
We really didn't have much to do to make the Bear Cave attractive, in a rustic sort of way. We hoped to attract those who enjoy the outdoors, built-by-hand living, and good farm cooking. I trenched in some Ethernet cable from our straw bale house to provide internet access for those guests who wanted to maintain contact with the outside world. Stuff stored in the Bear Cave was moved and we relocated our computers to the main house.
Our little 320-square-foot Bear Cave, now referred to as the Dragoon Mountains Guest House, sleeps four with a double bed and by pulling out the trundle bed. We lived in the Bear Cave while we built our straw bale home and loved it. We believed our guests would feel the same.
A comfortable recliner, a wicker-seated rocking chair, and the trundle bed doubling as a couch with pillows and bolsters provide relaxed reading for those who just want some time to wind down.
Winding-down, serenity, and plenty of quiet are really some of the big attractions. Recently, I read and listened to two separate accounts on the importance of quiet. One was an article in the Dec 9, 2011, New York Times by Pico Iyer titled "The Joy of Quiet." The other was an interview on NPR's Diane Rehm program with Dr. P.M. Forni discussing his new book, The Thinking Life.
Pico Iyer, educated at Eton and Oxford, now lives in Japan. He refers to himself as a "global village on two legs." Dr. Forni is a professor at Johns Hopkins and writes and teaches on Civility and Ethics and their role in our social world. Both articles are worth reading and listening to in their entirety.
In his article, Iyer suggests that we people are moving away from what has become a barrage of input. He says that the average American spends 8½ hours per day in front of a screen and that the average American teen sends or receives 75 messages per day. Think of the people you see in markets, cars, parks, or wherever with eyes or ears glued to a communication device.
Iyer contends that Americans are getting tired of the constant deluge of input. He cites an advertising CEO as saying that the upcoming market among young people will be for stillness. In the article, he mentions a California resort that offers lodging for over $2,000 per night and features no TV, WiFi, or telephone. There must be an easier and cheaper way to locate the 'off' button.
Dr Forni's book title speaks for itself. The subtitle is "How to Survive in the Age of Distraction." Forni warns of the perils of not taking time to just think. He writes, "If we agree that life is important, then thinking as we go through it is the basic tribute we owe it."
We asked family and friends that had visited us as unpaying guests what they valued most about their stay at our homestead. Most said the combination of silence, serenity and scenery made them want to come back. The ability to sit quietly with a cup of coffee or tea and look across the valley at our many mini-mountain ranges, our Sky Islands, was very meaningful to them.
While many of our guests enjoy at least one meal prepared by us, most like to find their own rhythms for meals and choose their own diets. We stocked the guest house with basic kitchen utensils – plates, cups, glasses etc – and installed a propane range (a drop-in designed for RVs that I enclosed in a plywood box), an under-the-counter fridge, and a microwave. They're good to go.
On the other hand, hiking, biking, and rock climbing around our homestead appeal to many. We have had competitive racing cyclists stay here for winter cycling and lots of birders and hikers.
Apart from the extra income, which we appreciate, there are other benefits. We have the opportunity to share the land we have come to love – its history, its scenery, its wildlife – with people unfamiliar with the beauty of the desert. We have made lots of new friends. People from England, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and California have been our guests during our first three months of operation.
If you would like to quit a "day job" and spend your time on your land, you might want to consider sharing the beauty of your place and making some money and some new friends. We even found a network of guest houses that manages the financial end of things for us. If you're curious, take a look at this website for yourself (http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/281607) Or, if you feel you just have to come visit us to see what we're doing, you can make arrangements there as well.
I have to admit that the house looks great and it would be great to spend a week there with my family. The owners of the last place where we stayed installed http://crate.ca/mattresses.htm and my kids loved it, you should consider doing the same to make sure the guests will want to visit you again.
Dave, I can definitely see that the Bed and Breakfast would fit into your lifestyle. It sounds like it would be a great place to get away from the bustle of life and reflect on what's important. I kind of like to hear a babbling brook and have a little more green but hey quiet and sunshine is good too. I'm just about to start some seeds and most likely will start my tomatoes and peppers right before I leave on vacation for a week. Hopefully, they will be sprouted up by the time I return. Then I can fire up the lights and turn off the heat mat. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it. All systems are go for garden planting at Terra Nova Gardens. The ground is plowed and disc(ed). The utilities are located and the post holes are staked and ready to be dug. Ah, life is so good. I've been waiting all winter for this time. It will be great when the fence is up. The rustic fence will go up right away but the critter proof chicken wire fence will take a little longer. Good luck with your B&B. Have a great day in the desert garden.
Hey Roxanne, Thanks for your kind words about the cold frame. Our new "baby plants" as Barbara calls them are putting down roots in the cold frame flats now until the soil warms a bit. We would love to have you enjoy the "Bear Cave" and share our experiences and the beauty of our little corner of the world.
Hi Cindy, we are enjoying both the financial and the exciting social rewards of the venture. New people arriving tomorrow from the Midwest. Look forward to meeting them. Thanks for your support.
Hi Dave, What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing. If say, someone that adopted your idea on the cold frames (another of your GRIT blogs, which worked beautifully) this year and graced our family with cabbages, brussels sprouts, and salads ALL winter long here...perhaps wanted to visit the former "Bear Cave" and pick your brain(s) on straw bale building, would they get evicted? Just saying, I see an amazing value in what you're offering there. Gives me hope in visiting Arizona again and 'adopting' many more wonderful ideas. Great read. Thanks.
Congratulations, Dave, on what sounds like is already a successful, exciting, and rewarding venture! I love B & Bs; I think you get so much more local flavor in one than you do in a hotel. If I was ever to visit the area, I'd stay at the Dragoons Mountains Guest House in a heartbeat.

Good Morning Everybody! Yesterday was a pretty significant day for my Facebook page – I hit 500 people! [For those who have not, GO "like" my page!!] A big thank you to ALL of you guys who support and encourage me each day. It means more to me than you know; especially because there are so many Negative Nancy's out there who only wish failure on you, but steal your ideas! I know some of my faves are dealing with similar situations. STAY STRONG!! I love our community, and while it seems to be growing by the day, it still feels small and intimate!
Over the weekend I made Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes. If you missed them, go check them out; you will not be disappointed! I made strawberry jelly syrup, which turned out beautifully, but I had about a cup left over and I had no idea what to do with it. In the midst of watching some investigative television shows that morning my eyes kept wandering back to that cup of strawberry syrup sitting on the stove. There was no way I wanted to waste it, but the stroke of brilliance I was waiting for seemed to be taking longer than usual. Fear not loyal friends, the stroke of genius did eventually hit me and today I am bringing to you a super SIMPLE, yet incredibly tasty recipe.
Brace yourselves, today I give to you Homemade Strawberry Lemonade. I made lemonade last month and it was an instant hit. It's hybrid of lemony tartness and sugary sweetness and we all fell head over heels in love with the drink. I figured the sweet, fruity flavor from the strawberry syrup could only add to the flavor of the lemonade. I was right!
Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 1 cup homemade strawberry syrup - you can find it here
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, approximately 10 lemons [it varies depending on how juicy the lemons are]
- 1 to 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 ½ cups warm to hot water
- 3 cups cold water
- With a good quality lemon press, press the lemons into a measuring cup
- In your blender, add the strawberry syrup and blend until smooth
- Strain the syrup to remove the seeds from the mixture
- In your pitcher, combine the sugar and hot water and stir until the sugar dissolves
- Add the lemon juice, strawberry syrup and remaining water
- Stir until well mixed
- Pour strawberry lemonade over glasses of ice or let chill in the fridge for several hours
- Slice a couple of extra strawberries and/or lemons to garnish the glasses
This Strawberry Lemonade is just as easy the lemonade I made for Memorial Day weekend! You know what is coming up in the next couple of weeks, right? The Fourth of July celebrations and picnics will soon be upon us – you should seriously consider making this lemonade! You will not be disappointed.
I hope you all enjoy it!
Until Next Time,
Happy Tuesday!

What if humans can be taught to echolocate (the ability to distinguish objects in the dark), the same process that dolphins and bats use to tell if there are obstacles in their path? This can proof to be very useful.
Ben Underwood lost his eyesight at age three due to cancer but he has learned himself the amazing technique of echolocating. Here is a 3 min video (best with sound) to demonstrate how he did it. Unfortunately Ben died of cancer early this year.
To read more on echolocation here an article from wired.com
Make Like a Dolphin: Learn Echolocation
With just a few weeks of training, you can learn to see objects in the dark using echolocation the same way dolphins and bats do.
Ordinary people with no special skills can use tongue clicks to visualize objects by listening to the way sound echoes off their surroundings, according to acoustic experts at the University of Alcalá de Henares in Spain.
Two hours per day for a couple of weeks are enough to distinguish whether you have an object in front of you, Juan Antonio Martinez said in a press release. Within another couple weeks you can tell the difference between trees and pavement.
To master the art of echolocation, all you have to do is learn to make special clicks with your tongue and palate, and then learn to recognize slight changes in the way the clicks sound depending on what objects are nearby. Martinez and his colleagues are developing a system to teach people how to use echolocation, a skill that could be particularly useful for the blind and for people who work under dark or smoky conditions, like firefighters or cat burglars.
Most animals that use echolocation have organs that are specifically adapted to emit and receive sonar signals, but we humans have to rely on our rather clumsy mouth and ears. For instance, while dolphins use a special structure in their nose to generate up to 200 clicks per second, people can make only three or four clicks per second.
By studying the physical properties of the many different sounds the human mouth can produce, the Spanish researchers hope to maximize the power of human echolocation. In their latest study, published in a recent issue of the journal Acta Acustica united with Acustica, the group taught 10 of their students and colleagues to use basic echolocation. Then they compared different noises and clicks to determine the best type of sound for seeing your surroundings.
The almost ideal sound is the palate click, said Martinez in a press release, a click made by placing the tip of the tongue on the palate, just behind the teeth, and moving it quickly backwards. The palate click is better than other sounds, because it can be made in a uniform way, works at a lower intensity, and doesnt get drowned out by ambient noise.
But there are a few drawbacks to human echolocation like cotton mouth. The quality of the sound tends to degrade after a few minutes of constant performance, the researchers wrote, due to progressive dryness of the mouth. Luckily, clicks cause less dryness than other sounds, because you dont have to exhale to make a click which also means the sound doesnt interfere with breathing.
Martinez isnt the first to recognize the potential for echolocation in humans. At least two examples of blind people who have taught themselves to echolocate (see video above) have made headlines in the past few years, and audiologist Peter Scheifele of the University of Cincinnati has studied these unusual cases.
Acoustically, according to laws of physics, its certainly possible to make a pulse that will tell you something about objects in front of you, such as fences, garbage cans or basketballs, Scheifele said. How much detail a person can see with echolocation depends not only on the speed of their clicks, he said, but also on the frequency. The higher the frequency, the more precise details you can see.
Scheifele has only worked with blind people who can echolocate, but he agrees that others could probably learn the skill. My gut tells me if you can do it if youre blind, you can do it if you can see, he said. Half the battle is really trying to get yourself in the groove of I can do this if I try. We tend to be more visual animals than acoustic, and people dont usually do it because theres not a need for it.

(Meredith) – See that tiny blue speck floating in an infinite void? That's us.
NASA set a new distance record for CubeSats on May 8 after Mars Cube One (MarCO) snapped a photo of our planet 621,371 miles away.
"Consider it our homage to Voyager," said Andy Klesh, MarCO's chief engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. JPL built the CubeSats and leads the MarCO mission. "CubeSats have never gone this far into space before, so it's a big milestone. Both our CubeSats are healthy and functioning properly. We're looking forward to seeing them travel even farther."
What are CubeSats?
CubeSats are spacecrafts made from small components that are typically used for research purposes and tend to stay in low-Earth orbit. However, Mars Cube One is the first CubeSat designed to operate in deep space.
MarCO was launched on May 5, along with InSight Lander, which will touch down on Mars and study the planet's interior. MarCO's job is to act as a kind of chaperone to InSight Lander as it approaches Mars.
MarCO will send data back to NASA about InSight Lander's condition as it enters the planet's atmosphere and explores Mars.

The Skinny On Selecting The Very Best HotelsWhen planning out hotel stays, there can be much that is sight unseen. That is why you need to know what it takes to find the right hotel deals. You must understand what information you need in order to make a wise decision regarding what place to stay. Read on so that you can end up sleeping in comfort next time you're on the road.
To accommodate http://bucketcent0edythe.mybjjblog.com/picking-the-best-hotel-some-tips-for-success-4095451 without having to pay for more than one hotel room, look for a location that offers suites. Often the rates are competitive with single-room rates at other hotels, but the addition of a living area (and a fold-out bed) means that more of you can sleep comfortably.
Take advantage of online hotel searching tools. There are a lot of websites that have great deals and other useful tools to help you comparison shop to find the right hotel at the right price. Being able to comparison shop helps you find the best value, while getting the amenities that are important to you. Finally, you can also use these to help you learn what there is to do when you get to your destination.
If you are out of the room for any length of time, protect the valuables you leave in the room. In addition to leaving expensive items in a safe, leave the television on when you are out of the room. That will make it look like you are still there and thieves will move on.
Use online hotel search tools. You will typically find websites that provide deals on certain hotel chains. They can also allow you to look at the average rates of a hotel. Finally, you can also use these to help you learn what there is to do when you get to your destination.
Try out DealAngel the next time you are looking online for hotel rooms. This relatively newer site will show you just how good of a deal you are actually getting. It even has a unique feature that will show you how hotel rates vary by date, letting you pick the cheapest time to go.
Prior to making a hotel reservation, check for deals online. Hotels don't usually advertise their lowest rates, so you may have to ask. So you should always search on your own for discounts prior to booking. Websites like Orbitz, Travelocity and Hotels.com usually have some great discounts.
Try out DealAngel the next time you are looking online for hotel rooms. This relatively newer site will show you just how good of a deal you are actually getting. It even has a unique feature that will show you how hotel rates vary by date, letting you pick the cheapest time to go.
If you travel often and prefer one hotel brand, consider signing up for a loyalty program. These programs offer free room upgrades, a free night's stay after so many days and other advantages. To get the most from this service, sign up to be alerted of specials the hotel may run from time to time.
Book your hotel room as far in advance as possible. You will be surprised at how quickly hotels fill up, especially in smaller towns with few hotels. If you wait until last minute, there is a good chance you may not even be able to book a room. So, be sure to reserve your room as soon as you know you need one!
Avoid using the phone in the hotel to make any calls. If you do not have a mobile phone, it would be a good idea to purchase a prepaid phone to make calls during your stay. The only exception should be if free local calls are included in the room rate.
Follow a hotel chain you are thinking about reserving with on social media. Deals and promotions are often promoted first or sometimes only on Facebook and Twitter. Introduce yourself to hotel employees through social media to see if you can get any tips from them on booking a great deal.
Use social media to your advantage if you want to get fresh deals on hotel stays. Many hotels offer deals and freebies to people that "Like" their page. In addition, giving them praise on social media is a great way to snag an upgrade and/or a special rate that has not been advertised.
To keep your car safe and secure while you are staying at a hotel, make sure that you either bring your valuables inside or conceal them in the trunk when you park the car. Even if you lock the doors, if valuable items are visible, thieves will often break in and take them, so be proactive and save your treasures.
If you are looking to save money on your next trip, it is a good idea to book a hotel that has an in-room kitchen. Many places have full kitchens that include a countertop range and a refrigerator. Preparing your own meals will save you money since you will not need to pay for room service or restaurant food.
To save money on your next hotel stay, try booking your room for a Sunday night check-in. Sunday nights are the slowest for hotels as weekend travelers are checking out at that time. You can often find great deals if you use this to your advantage, when hotels want more business..
Did you receive a newspaper outside of your hotel room this morning? If so, chances are you will be charged for it. To avoid being charged for an unwanted newspaper, take the newspaper to the front desk and inform the desk clerk that you do not wish to receive a newspaper during your stay.
If view site… checked out a hotel price a few weeks ago, be sure to check it out again. Prices for hotel rooms fluctuate not only week to week, but also day to day. There could be a new price available just because you waited. This is especially true if there's a lot of extra room inventory.
Nothing can ruin a family vacation more quickly than a stay in a dirty, grimy hotel. Highly recommended Site want your family to remember the good times about the trip, not the disgusting hotel room that you had to stay in. Remember the advice you have read here to make the right hotel reservation.

A typical question asked by brewers or other brewery personnel utilizing analytical laboratory data is, "how do I know that these results are accurate"? This question will most commonly be asked when the product or process results are out-of-specification. There are a number of potentially serious consequences for out of specification results including: (1) the need to retrieve product from the market, (2) disposing of product, and (3) potential fines for not meeting regulatory requirements. When asked to prove that the analytical data are correct, how do you respond? There are a number of approaches to answer this question, but one statistical tool that can be utilized for internal quality control is control charting. A control chart is simply composed of individual or mean data plotted over time. A set of rules is applied to the data, and any result falling outside of the rules suggests that there is an issue with the measurement system. This documentation on control charting laboratory data will provide an introduction to the topic. Options for more in-depth publications are listed in the reference section.

I would say it would be better to not have a representation than having this…
Regarding the issues with the Nikon D600, since I was going to be away for 2 months regarding health issues, although Eyelead proved to be a great solution, I though this would be the perfect time to get it repaired, we were at the beginning of August.
I tried to get my equipment registered with Nikon PT, which ended up to be a nightmare, so I e-mailed then regarding this matter, after two weeks without a response I opened a ticket in their help desk system, which informed me that my question would be answered in 24 hours, a week pass by and nothing.
I got in touch with Nikon UK, which were really supportive and quick in their responses, at first they redirected me to Nikon PT, bunt after I told them what has been gone, they informed that I could send my equipment to be repaired in UK, but I would have to support the shipping cost, which seemed a reasonable solution for me, wash´t the fact that we were in the beginning of September and it could take up to 4 weeks for the D600 to be repaired, it would depend on the availability of the pieces needed.
Since, I have this trip on October, it will have to wait until I return.
Meanwhile, a guy from Nikon PT, answer to the UK ticket, informing that they are available at a certain address in Lisbon, and it got me thinking I will be in Lisbon next week, let me give it a try.
Already in Lisbon, I'm faced with a store with a closed door, and a sign asking for people to ring the hell, which I did, for 15 minutes, I could see lights inside but no one answered me.
I return, an hour after, lights out, door closed, I suppose no one will answer me now, I couldn´t even find the opening hours.
That's why, most of the professional photographers in Portugal choose Canon, there isn't any kind of Nikon Support available here!!!Diria que inexistente no entanto, existe uma loja à porta fechada com um reclame Nikon, seria preferível que não marcassem presença no nosso país, poupava-nos algum tempo e chatices.

Abu Dhabi Investment Authority
Although Sovereign Wealth Funds could be considered to be, in theory, the perfect investor target for IR teams, there have been historical hurdles to engagement, including external/internal asset management strategies, scant public ownership disclosure and less visibility at the traditional investor meeting places. Moreover, without a clear view of ownership, IR teams have been hard pressed to make the case for access to management without a clear view of the ROI for that time and access.
To combat these historical barriers, a positive recent trend across several SWFs has included significant outreach and direct corporate access programs, which has led to growing awareness and visibility into the SWF community.
With this trend of increased engagement in mind, Ipreo collaborated with the investment team at the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority to provide issuers with a view into the institution's investment strategy and recent moves to bring an increasing amount of capital under in-house active management. Download this report today for clear and thorough insights into these strategies.

In some ways, thanks to apps and social media, dating can feel much easier than it used to. The time commitment and effort that goes into actually finding someone is significantly less, which is really nice for a mom who is already extremely busy. But, in other ways, those same advantages can make dating even more difficult.
"Online dating makes it easier to get dates in some aspects due to the nature of having hundreds of possibilities at your fingertips," Kimberly Hershenson, a NYC-based therapist specializing in relationships, told CafeMom. "However, it can take a toll on an individual's self-esteem. Your mood may become affected by how many people contact you. You may find yourself accepting dates from people you otherwise wouldn't be interested in or are tolerating behaviors that would normally be unacceptable to you simply because anyone is showing interest in you."
But what is really discouraging are the tons of dating "trends" that have emerged, and it seems like an overwhelming amount of them are negative. "Online dating makes it easier to be non-committal. People get lonely so they crave connection," Hershenson said.
It's important to be aware of alarming behaviors while on the dating scene, especially as a mom who already has enough on her plate. Here are 15 dating trends all single moms should know about while looking for their next relationship.

Here the cloud from the east was flowing over the mountains in a flow that seemed driven by anabatic/katabatic influences. Anabatic flow upstream (left of pic) while the cool air immediately close to the rock face on the western side (right) causes a katabatibc flow down hill until the visible moisture is reabsorbed.The flow was pronounced with the air rushing down. There was however no real "wind" as such

DMX continuing rehabilitation treatment ahead of tax fraud trial
Rapper Dmx is continuing his drug rehabilitation treatment ahead of his tax evasion trial.
The Party Up (Up in Here) musician, 46, appeared in Manhattan Federal Court on Thursday (05Oct17) at a hearing where his trial date was set for February (17). He is accused of failing to pay $1.7 million (£1.3 million) in taxes to America's Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
In August (17) DMX, real name Earl Simmons, was placed under was placed under house arrest after testing positive for cocaine and marijuana, a violation of his bail conditions.
He was given permission to check-in to a rehabilitation facility in New England to battle his demons, and outside the court his lawyer Stacey Richman updated fans on his progress, telling the New York Daily News that her client was still receiving treatment.
DMX also said, "I'm feeling good" as he left the New York City court.
The rehab stint is DMX's second this year (17) as in April he checked into a treatment centre in California in April.
The father of four has a history of drug-related legal issues and was sentenced to six months in 2015 for failing to pay child support.

Okay, the summary pretty much says it all. It's twisty, intense, fluffy, finished, and hopefully decent - I'm the process of editing. Each chapter about 2500 - 3000 words. Reviews are cuddled like they're my own personal Numair.
Disclaimer: Everything you recognize belongs to Tamora Peirce. This applies to this chapter and every single chapter in the fic, because I don't want to put a disclaimer for every chapter. Consider them all disclaimed.
I hope you enjoy!
Daine snarled and tried to launch herself at the man before her, a monarch covered in gold and jewels; elegant silks and glittering green magic. Teeu, a strong, lithe hyena, whirled around to the Emperor Mage's back, trying to get a bite on his rear. Iry and Aranh attempted to claw his sides. But all three hyenas - and the one human in hyena form - were thrown back as an emerald barrier appeared between them and their foe.
Hissing at Ozorne, the hyenas dropped back to circle him menacingly. Daine could see the sweat on his face - he was probably tiring from loss of blood and overusing his Gift. It didn't help he was terrified of hyenas as well. Ozorne smiled grimly and sent a bolt of green fire at each of the hyenas in turn. Teeu and her two packmates howled and fell to the ground, motionless. The last green bolt hit Daine squarely between the eyes, but it felt like a mere shock, and she continued to growl at Ozorne.
"Perfect," the mage said. "Now I know which is our darling Veralidaine."
Daine blanched. She didn't think he would be able to single her out like this. Stunned, she almost missed the emperor dropping his shielding spell. Daine was barely able to gather her wits in time to leap at Ozorne, baring her sharp teeth.
"That's not very nice, my dear," Ozorne said, side-stepping out of the way faster than Daine would have believed possible. Before Daine could whip around to face him again, a strong green net of magic was flung over her with the force of a tidal wave. Gasping, Daine realized that Ozorne's stores of magic must have been higher than she thought. She cursed to herself, struggling inside the emerald net.
Ozorne's face appeared in her line of sight. "You escaped me once already, Veralidaine. I must be assured that it will not happen again." His voice grew softer, and more intense. "I must be assured that you will wreak no more havoc in my world."
He raised a hand and more emerald fire collected in his palm. "I will have to dispose of you. In a difficult way. Just like I did with your traitor teacher, Master Salmalin."
Numair, Daine thought desperately. She thrashed violently against her bonds, rage and grief coursing through her at the sound of Numair's name. Ozorne was the man that killed him, her teacher, her closest friend, Ozorne was inches away -
Ozorne noticed her reaction and the cruelest smile Daine had ever seen spread across his face. "You loved him," he said wickedly. "Just as he loved you. But that's over now, dear."
Daine saw Ozorne raise the hand that was full of emerald fire, then everything went dark.
Hurrying down the ruined corridor of the palace, Numair cursed violently. Bodies of the palace guards who were not smart enough to get out of a furious wildmage's path were strewn all across the smoldering hallways, along with large piles of ash, rubble, and fallen decorations.
How could he have let this happen? He should never have left Daine alone, when he had known Ozorne was going to target her. Now he had no idea of knowing whether or not Daine was safe. Now she must think I'm dead, he thought bitterly. He couldn't believe he had neglected to tell Daine about his simulacrum. Knowing from the start of this trip that there was no way a man like Ozorne would have let him return to Carthak with a clean slate, Numair had planned for the eventuality that he would need a copy of himself. But it never crossed his mind to tell Daine this, for he had never thought he would have to let his simulacrum get executed.
Numair nearly slipped in a pool of blood on his next step and cursed again. Where was she? He had to find her, had to get out of this infernal country -
Piercing shrieks suddenly rang throughout the palace, every animal yelling or cawing or roaring in fury. Daine, Numair thought instantly.
He gasped in pain as something hard slammed unexpectedly into his side. Whipping around, Numair called his Gift to his hands, surrounding them with black fire and pointing them at a terrified guard who was holding a bloody sword. Disoriented, Numair felt a sting in side. The blood on the sword was his.
Numair didn't stop to think – there wasn't enough time – and he pushed out his Gift, killing the man instantly. Animals were still screaming around them - meaning Daine was still in danger. Ignoring the wound in his side - the pain was lessening; the cut wasn't deep - Numair pushed through the wreckage of the Imperial Palace.
Where would Ozorne take her? It couldn't be the regular dungeons; Daine could have broken out of them easily on her own. He closed his eyes, trying to remember where else they held prisoners. Think.
A young man with dark skin, dark eyes, and dark hair walked briskly down a gloomy-looking passageway, glancing back over his shoulder every now and then. "Come on now, Arram," he said. "It's not much farther."
Arram moaned and dragged his feet. "I don't like this, Ozorne," he said. "We shouldn't be around here at all, let alone at night. Your father will be furious if he catches us."
"Well, he won't catch us then, will he?" Ozorne opened a door and began down a steep flight of stairs. Shadows and spiders were horribly abundant.
Arram followed with his eyes narrowed. "Why are we coming here?"
"You'll see."
Eventually the pair emerged into a shady room. There were no windows, only grey stone and streakmarks where water dripped down from the mossy ceiling above. It felt damp and musty, and was obviously not inhabited by anything other than rats.
"Where are we?" Arram asked. Part of him didn't want to know.
"Under the menagerie."
"Again, why - "
Arram stopped suddenly. In the dim, sourceless light, the young mage caught sight of familiar marks engraved into the walls, ceiling, and floor of the room. Instantly he recognized the runes.
"You can't do this," Arram said, his voice low. "Do you know how much power those hold? Just one is enough to take hold of someone's spirit or magic or soul, whatever you want to call it, never let it go-"
"I know," Ozorne said. "Which makes this the best place for prisoners, right?"
"What are you thinking?" Arram hissed. "Trap people here who are too good for the regular dungeons?"
"That's an idea," Ozorne said thoughtfully. "Because when I activate the symbols in here, the prisoner would never be able to leave. Without tearing their soul apart."
Ozorne's eyes bored into Arram's. Arram suddenly realized what Ozorne meant to do; why he was here.
He turned around and ran.
Numair snapped his eyes open. As suddenly as the memory had appeared, he knew where Daine was. Ozorne was going to try to trap her through her magic, permanently, as he has tried to trap Numair all those years ago.
Wild magic isn't governed like the Gift, he told himself as he ran towards the menagerie. Perhaps it can't be trapped and constrained.
It was his last hope - he flung open the nondescript door that lay by the menagerie entrance, and gazed into the dark stairwell he had descended so long ago. For a fleeting moment he stood there, frozen, but an animal shrieked overhead and he was reminded of why he was there. Gritting his teeth, Numair dashed down the narrow stairs that were infinitely too long.
A vast field of flowers stretched before her. Green dominated the land, but there were so many blooms that yellow, pink, and purple almost took the top spot. The sky glimmered a cloudless blue – it was like paradise, except there were no animals. By a large tree stood a woman Daine knew instantly, and a man she had seen only a few times. He had streaks of green in his tan skin, antlers protruding out of his curly brown hair, a bow slung across his back.
"Ma," Daine said. The voice that came from her mouth was that of a child's. "Ma… Da?"
The antlered man suddenly vanished. Daine frowned.
"Is he… not my da, then?"
Sarra only reached out a hand toward Daine. The girl leaned forward, trying to grasp it, but then Sarra disappeared too.
"No!" Daine yelled. "Ma! Ma!"
Something was pulling her away from the warm meadow. It tugged at her spirit, making her cry in agony. Claws ripped into her very essence, and the spring of copper fire inside her pulsed, as if angry. Daine tried to pull away from the mysterious force that gripped her, but nothing worked. Nothing.
Numair sent a streaming ball of black fire at Ozorne, instantly taking in the scene around him – the same cell, the same runes. Ozorne whipped around, his hands frozen in the half-completed design that would activate his magic. Numair panted with the effort of keeping Ozorne's hands fully immobilized.
The emperor mage's face went pale in terror. "No!" he screeched. "I killed you! I watched you die!"
"Didn't do a very good job of it, did you?" said Numair, circling around Ozorne. He stepped carefully so that he kept his body between the emperor's and Daine's.
Ozorne's face contorted into a sneer. "Come to rescue your true love? The damsel in distress?"
Numair growled, taking a step forward. "Stop this now, Ozorne, and maybe I'll let you live."
"You wouldn't have the guts to kill, Draper," the emperor hissed. "You never had what it took to be a war mage."
Ozorne knows nothing about me, Numair realized. He could use this to his advantage. Pretending to falter and hesitate, Numair let his spell on Ozorne's hands weaken - by just the slightest fraction. And just as he predicted, Ozorne felt it, and broke through the weakened magic in a bright burst of emerald mage-fire.
"Ha!" Ozorne screeched, tracing symbols in the air again. "I am more powerful! I hold you captive here! She will be mine, and you will die, Draper!"
Egotistical fool. Swiftly, before Ozorne could react, Numair swept his leg around, ramming his foot above the emperor mage's knee, just as Alanna had taught him back at home.
"Your enemy will crumple like paper if you strike in the right place. Everyone needs to know practical defense. Even you, a black robe mage."
Numair had pouted and complained at the time, but Alanna had insisted on teaching him the fundamentals of unarmed defense and basic swordplay. Now he was glad he learned: Ozorne was only expecting magical attacks from his former friend. The stupid, self-consumed emperor refused to believe that Numair could ever have more talent than him in any aspect at all. Falling to the ground, Ozorne cursed, his control over the spell slipping. The pulsing marks in the walls began to fade.
Numair forced his magic over Ozorne, freezing the emperor's entire body in place instantly. "Give me a reason," said Numair, his voice low and deadly. He barely recognized himself. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you."
Ozorne couldn't move anything but his eyes. He flicked them from side to side, but obviously could not find a way out. Numair saw the man's black eyes fill with hatred and, more clearly, fear.
"Just as I thought," said Numair, endeavoring to keep his voice light and friendly this time. "There aren't any good reasons. Goodbye, Emperor Mage."
But before Numair could use his Gift to force the life out of the emperor, a flash of green light illuminated the chamber. A piercing screech cut through the air, an awful grating noise like nothing Numair had ever heard. Behind his eyelids, he could sense the blinding light had fading, and he snapped his eyes open.
Ozorne had disappeared. Only a small pile of ashes remained where the emperor had been.
Strange, Numair thought with a frown. He shouldn't have been able to manage an incineration spell in that state. And the sound….
A small whimper made him turn. Twitching and moaning, Daine stirred as she woke, still in hyena form. Numair rushed over to her, crouching. Even with her in animal form, he could tell. He could tell she was upset.
"Daine," he whispered, extending a hand. "Daine, it's alright, he's gone. Wake up. Wake up, you're going to be safe - "
The hyena howled and before Numair could look away, a very human and very unclothed Daine sat mere inches away from him.
Numair's breath caught in his throat.
"No," Daine whispered, terrified. "It can't be, you're dead, you're Ozorne, tricking me again!"
Numair Salmalin stood before her, breathing heavily. He turned his face away.
"It's me, magelet," he said, shrugging his cloak off his shoulders as he knelt in front of her. He held it out, but Daine didn't take it – she was frozen.
It's not possible. It's an illusion, a sima-thing….
The mage threw her his cloak instead of waiting for her to take it. Snatching it instantly, Daine pressed the soft fabric to her face and breathed. It smelled of him – that spicy scent she couldn't really place. She slipped it over her shoulders, tried to open her mouth, and no words came out.
Numair looked her straight in the eyes now. "Ozorne killed my simulacrum. Though, not killed, I suppose, because it was never actually alive, was it? I stayed at the University, undercover, with Lindhall."
Daine took a deep breath, steeling herself. If he's actually dead, and I'm just fooling myself, I can't get any more broken than I am now.
Nothing to lose. Everything to gain.
Holding out a tentative hand, Daine placed it carefully on Numair's chest. Under her tense fingers, his heart was beating rapidly – strong, alive, and human.
"Horse Lords, Numair, I thought - I thought - " Daine flung her arms around his shoulders while Numair lifted her off the ground in a crushing hug, his arms strong and warm.
"It's okay, magelet," he said. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I should have, I meant to…."
"You just forgot," Daine smiled. It was so like Numair to forget something like that. All of a sudden, she knew without a doubt – it was him, her teacher and her closest friend, alive.
"Mithros," Numair said, setting her down. "Daine, Goddess bless, I'm glad you're safe."
"Me?" Daine said with a poke to his chest. "You were the one thought dead, dolt!"
"And you were the one with the power-crazed emperor chasing after you - "
Daine gasped. "Wait - Ozorne! Where is he? Where did he go? The - the hyenas - "
Teeu and Iry and Aranh. Ozorne killed them. Tears for her friends started to form behind her eyes, but Daine pushed them back determinedly, filled with a level of hatred she had never felt before. I'll get him. I'll get him for hurting my friends.
Numair pulled her into another hug. "I'm sorry, magelet. But - Ozorne is gone. For now."
For now? Daine shook her head to clear it. The hyenas had loved helping her track down Ozorne, hadn't they? They'd loved the last minutes of their lives. Daine sighed. Now she and Numair were stuck in Carthak, their friends had gone home, and the Imperial Palace had been almost completely destroyed. By me.
They certainly had plenty of problems.

When Royce Rolstad III, was a junior at Apalachicola High School, Royce Hodge gave him his theatrical start when he directed the comedy "The Curious Savage" for the Panhandle Players.
That was 17 years ago, and in the intervening 17 years, with the exception of those he spent in Tallahassee completing a degree at Florida State, Rolstad, now 34, has done about everything a talented man can for the Players.
He's acted, playing leading roles as well as smaller ones, he's sang, he's directed, he's built sets, did a little dance here and there, all part of becoming a vitally important, youthful force for the community theatre troupe.
This winter it was time to go one step forward, to write a play.
"It came to me one night. I was laying in bed and it came to me, 'The Oyster City Mystery," said Rolstad. "I plan to do more."
So, brushing aside the tears on his pillow from a romantic break-up, he penned a full-length murder mystery, set in the heart of his hometown, at its most prominent inn. "It was a way to help me cope," he said.
"I grew up watching murder mysteries with my parents, "Murder She Wrote," Father Dowling mysteries," he said, taking a break from the three-day-a -week rehearsals that will soon become nightly in the lead-up to the Oct. 20-22 premiere of "Murder at The Gibson Inn."
Rolstad was adamant from the start, when it came time over the summer for the Panhandle Players to decide to make the play the opening production of the season, that he would have to be the one who directed the show. He attracted Judy Loftus to be his assistant director, as well as to be perform a small part as Miss Cleo, the exotic desk clerk who sets the play rolling with her announcement to two curious tourists (Jerry Hurley and Sally Crown) that the spacious hotel where they plan to bed may well be embedded with ghosts from the 1930s who became dead there back then.
"It's all family friendly," said Rolstad. "Even now we're still adding some things in and chopping some things out. We're going to continue to make changes."
By not using the last names of any of the characters, except for Dr. Chapman (who died in 1899), Rolstad lived up to the terms of the disclaimer that "any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental."
The premise of the show is stock, a battle over how a pirate's hidden treasure in the sands of St. George Island was the seed for mayhem among townfolk. What Rolstad hopes will come alive, as the ghosts (portrayed by Wes Davis, Megan Shiver, Katie Maxwell, Teresa Ann Martin, Ed Aguiar, Rodney Reeves, Bob Inguagiato, and David Stedman), in the midst of a hurricane, become entangled in the search for riches, is laughter.
What is happening with the ensemble as they shape the show, is comedy is coming through, and Rolstad, a lively comic actor if there ever was one, couldn't be more pleased.
"I didn't write is as a comedy," he said. "I write certain lines to be funny, but what the actors have done, when they've brought it to life, they have essentially turned it into a comedy.
"I am excited," he said. "The actors have been doing an amazing job from day one. It's been such a fun time doing this show. It's been great."
With Karen Berkley as stage manager. Mark and Natalie Parsley are designing and constructing the set to resemble the Gibson Inn's lobby in the 1930s.
Tickets are $15 and are available online at panhandleplayers.com or at the door. Box office opens one hour before curtain.
The Chapman Auditorium is located in Apalachicola at the corner of Highway 98 and 14th Street.
