Indiranagar has been a destination in Bangalore that attracts foodie and party lovers across the place as it has a beeline of Bangalore finest restaurant & lounges. One of the latest additions to this list is Hoppipola which is an all day Bar & Bonhomie. Located at a quaint corner of 100ft road of indiranagar, just above Mainland China.
Hoppipola is from the household of Mainland China.
We are one of the few lucky ones to Review the newest happening place.
First impressions: – Located on the terrace of Mainland China, A place which has a open Terrace sit out and a enclosed bar inside, the Décor and the interior was very surprisingly impressive which actually digs out our childhood memories. That's one of the USP of the bar. The décor was so intricately made keeping in out our childhood days, each and every element in the bar actually makes me jog down my memory lane. There was a TV with Video game with book-rack and all comics, novels & books which resembled my bedroom ages ago and the Video games actually was working which had all the games we used to play in our early days such as Mario, Contra, duck hunt etc which actually contains 99,99,999 games in it with multiplayer options. This really was a welcome move to actually remember all the small lil things which gave us such immense pleasure. There were some more board games like othelo, chess scrabble which we actually have forgotten nowadays due to the hectic fast lane lifestyle and this actually helps us unwind with friends and family.
Every inch of the place was taken into consideration with the décor such that even the Study Table lamps which we used to use during our school days burning the midnight lamps days before the exam was reused very well as wall mount lighting and chandeliers.
The bar counter had a very antique look and feel with antique windows with multi colored window glass and even the chairs was made of old wooden Planck which was found in school. The old and rustic feel of the décor wasn't the only thing that was old, the most shockingly and surprising element and the USP of the place is the Price. This is something that really stands out with such a prime location and its neighboring high end fine dining restaurants and the pricing was just out of the 80's which really gave me a shocker and F&B offering was worth every penny which was at least 30-40% cheaper than its competitors.
The drinks menu was exhaustive and bang on with the price which matched its quality, Watermelon & Basil crush was my first drink and I would totally recommend it as it was really refreshing. Next in the line as nutty fruity mock tail which had a crunchy nutty feel and totally fresh.
OMG is my first starter which was stuffed mushrooms and was really lick smacking snack. This is one you shouldn't miss.
Cheesienos was also a decent bet though tasted like garlic bread.
We had ordered for the Special drink Brain Damage, I would want to explain it as only experience can speak and I would say it was mind blowing.looked exactly like brain in test tube.
We finished off the night at Hoppipola with Burgers and Pizza which is also worth a shot,though personally I loved the pizza.
As we enter the restroom, it actually resembled our school restrooms which blue and pink painted walls and décor.
As we move to the open air seating, lot of green plants and bonsai actually refreshes the ambiance in the open and some neat décor.
Hoppipola is also known for organizing weekly and monthly contests relating to beer such as Weekend Chuggathon, Gone in 60 seconds et all which really is a good move to attract beer lovers .They also had beer towers.
This is one place, I would surely recommend for people who would love quiet, good ambience and light on pockets too ,be it a date or re-union or meetups etc.

an error have glided into the figures ? Perhaps the difference of meridians is 7h 30' in place of 750.
The longitude of Durango should be very nearly 105° 55'. Don Juan Jose Oteyza, a young Mexican geometrician, the benefit of whose abilities I have often experienced in the course of my operation, observed there (at l'Hacienda del Ojo, 38' to the east of Durango) the termination of an eclipse of the moon, which, compared with the old tables of Mayer, gave the result which we have already indicated. The author even did not consider it as completely accurate. M.Friesen concluded from the rhombs and distances indicated in the itineraries of Brigadier Rivera and M. Mascaro, that this longitude was 5° 5' to the east of Mexico, consequently 106° 30'. The latitude of Durango appears sufficiently doubtful. Rivera and his companion Don Francisco Alvarez Bareiro pretend to have found it, by meridian altitudes of the sun, 24° 38'; Lafora, in 1766, 24° 9'; but we do not know what instruments these engineers made use of. If the latitude which the Count de la Laguna, M. Zarria, and the engineer Mascaro assign to the city of Zacatecas, is exact, that of Durango, deduced from the rhombs and distances, should be nearly 24° 25'.
There are several places in the northern provinces of New Spain, where the three engineers
already cited made observations successively; this circumstance gives somewhat more confidence in the medium result.
Chihuahua.-Latitude, 29° 11' according to Rivera, 28° 45' according to Mascaro. Longitude deduced from the rhombs and distances, 5° 25' to the west of Mexico.
Santa Fe.—Latitude, 36° 28' by Rivera, 36° 10' by Lafora. Longitude by approximation, 5° 48' in relation to the meridian of Mexico.
Presidio de Janos.-Latitude, 31° 30' by Rivera, 30° 50' by Mascaro. Longitude, somewhat doubtful, 7° 40' to the west of Mexico.
Arispe.—Latitude, 30° 30' by Rivera, 30° 36' by Mascaro. Longitude by approximation, 9° 53' (from Mexico).
Geographical combinations founded on itineraries give an additional probability to the following positions, of which MM. Mascaro and Rivera determined the latitude. These results, adopted in my map, agree with what was obtained by MM. Bausa and Antillon. We differ, however, nearly a degree in the absolute longitude of Arispe, a city situated in the province of Sonora, as well as in the longitude of the Passo del Norte, in New Mexico. But I have to repeat, that a part of these differences arises from M. Antillon's placing in his map Mexico, Acapulco, and the mouth of Rio Gila more to the eastward than I have done.
On the formation of militia (tropas de milicia) in the kingdom of New Spain, there was drawn up a map of the province of Qaracu, in which several places are found marked whose latitude (according to a remark of the author) had been observed astronomically. I do not know if these latitudes are founded on meridian altitudes taken with gnomons. The map
bears the name of M. Don Pedro de Laguna, lieutenant-colonel in the service of his Catholic majesty. These eleven
points are partly situated on the coast between the two ports of Acapulco and Tehuantepec, partly near the coast in the interior of the country. Proceeding from west to east we find
• In la Misteca alta the position has been determined of
S. Antonio de las Cues at 18° 3' of latitude.
170 18.
17° 16'. We may add the village of Acatlan in the intendancy of la Puebla at 17° 58', and the city of Oaxaca at 16° 54' of latitude. These determinations, if they have any degree of accuracy, are so much the more precious, that from la Puebla de
los Angeles to the isthmus of Panama, there was not hitherto a single point in the interior of the country whose laticu le was astronomically determined. What gives us a certain degree of reli. ance on these positions, is the harmony which prevails between the latitudes assigned in the map of Don Pedro Laguna and in those of M. Antillon, to the city of Tehuantepec and to Puerto Escondido. Hence the Spanish navigators at present place the former port at 16° 22', and the latter, which is in the neighbourhood of the village of Manialtepec, at 15° 50' of latitude,
Hitherto we have discussed positions founded on astronomical observations, more or less worthy of the geographer's confidence; there remains for us to indicate the maps, almost wholly manuscript, which we have employed for the different ports of the general map of New Spain.
As to the bearings and sinuosities of the western coast washed by the great ocean, from the port of Acapulco to the mouth of the Rio Colorado, and to the volcanos of the Virgins in California, I have followed the map which accompanies the account of the voyage of the Spanish na igators to the Straits of Fuca. This map, published in 1802 by the marine depot at Madrid, is founded on the operations of the corvettes of Malaspina ; but the coast which stretches to the south-east of Acapulco is still very imperfectly known. The map of North

With Shropshire being named as second only to Cornwall as the most popular place in the UK to retire, it's no wonder that demand for retirement property is high.
Having the right legal advice when buying or selling property can be the difference between a quick, smooth transaction or a long drawn-out process with lots of frustration along the way.
Loretta Aston, head of residential property at Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors in Shropshire, has seen a rise in demand for homes in newly-built retirement villages - which can come with hidden fees and restrictions.
"The sale and purchase of homes in retirement living estates is one of our specialist areas, and there are certain things that people need to be aware of," she says.
"There are often restrictions on occupancy, such as age restrictions, pets and so on. Buyers also need to be aware of hidden fees, like service charges and ground rent, along with the fees payable on a sale, which can be a percentage of the sale price.
"It's really important to seek expert advice on what will be one of the most important investment decisions of your life."
Loretta says Shropshire has a wide range of properties suitable for retirement - especially now that people are retiring younger with more elements on their property wish-list.
"It's interesting to note how things have changed in recent times," she says.
"Retirement is no longer just about elderly people looking for a bungalow, we are seeing clients in their 50s who are looking for homes with enough space to accommodate a range of interests.
"People want properties with stabling for horses, space to keep chickens, classic car collections, and space to entertain family and friends.
"They are also very interested in what restaurants, pubs, social and leisure clubs and amenities are on offer in the area."

Prenatal Alcohol Use Predicts Drinking Problems in Offspring
Back in the 1970s, the dangers of drinking alcohol during pregnancy were largely unknown. As a result, many women consumed alcohol during pregnancy, even drinking heavily on occasion.
Since that time, studies have found fetal exposure to alcohol to be associated with impairments in attention, memory, intellect, judgment, and social behavior.
Researchers began a study in 1974 by recording the drinking habits of pregnant women. Now, 22 years later, they followed up to analyze the effects that prenatal alcohol exposure may have had on these women's children. In an article published in the April 2003 Archives of General Psychiatry , researchers report that mothers who drank heavily even once during pregnancy put their children at significantly increased risk of developing drinking problems when they became young adults.
About the Study
From 1974 to 1975, researchers identified 500 women who were (on average) five months into their pregnancies. They interviewed these women to assess:
- Alcohol consumption during pregnancy and before they knew they were pregnant
- Heavy episodic drinking (five or more drinks on an occasion)
- Exposure to other substances including caffeine, aspirin, antibiotics, marijuana and other illicit drugs
- Family history of alcohol problems
Twenty-two years later, the researchers interviewed 433 children (now about 21 years old) of mothers who had been interviewed in the 1970s. The young adults were asked about their usual drinking patterns, whether and how often they drank five or more drinks at one time, and perceived negative consequences of their drinking (i.e. blackouts, passing out, tolerance). Based on this and other information the subjects were rated on the Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS), which assesses the presence and severity of drinking problems and dependence symptoms.
The Findings
Eighty percent of the mothers had consumed alcohol during pregnancy and in the months before they knew they were pregnant. Thirty-one percent of these women reported at least one instance of heavy episodic drinking during pregnancy.
Of the 433 young adults, 82.9% said they were current drinkers. The remaining 17.1% were lifelong or current abstainers. Eight percent of the 433 offspring were found to have at least mild alcohol dependence, based on the ADS.
The researchers found that 14.1% of the young adults whose mothers drank heavily on one or more occasion during pregnancy had alcohol problems (ADS score greater than or equal to 10) at age 21 compared to 4.5% of the young adults whose mothers did not drink as heavily during pregnancy. This significant difference remained even when factors such as family history of alcohol problems, and prenatal exposure to nicotine and other drugs was taken into account.
How Does This Affect You?
The ages of 18 to 24 (the college years) tend to be the period of heaviest drinking for most people, even though most people who drink heavily at this time do not go on to have alcohol problems. On the other hand, people who do develop alcohol problems in later life usually begin drinking during adolescence or young adulthood. As a result, identifying young adults who are at greater risk for eventual alcohol problems could help them avoid that path.
Based on the ADS, the researchers in this study were able to distinguish between drinkers who were exhibiting "typical" college drinking behaviors and those with symptoms of alcohol dependence, such as passing out, blackouts, and becoming physically sick. The latter were significantly more likely to have had mothers who drank heavily on one or more occasions during pregnancy.
While it has long been known that heavy alcohol use during pregnancy may result in serious intellectual and behavior problems, this is the first time that it has been linked to alcohol dependency later in life even in the absence of these serious neurologic problems. This research further supports the advice that women should not drink while pregnant.

In reference to the above statement I will say that General Seymour was never instructed, and it never was my intention to intrust him with the execution of any general plan in Florida. I confided to him the objects I had in view in occupying East Florida, and the salient features of the plan by which I proposed to secure those objects. But he was never authorized to advance beyond the South Fork of the Saint Mary's River in my absence. On the contrary, he had plain and explicit instructions with regard to what was expected and required of him, and the ill-judged advance beyond the South Fork of the Saint Mary's River was in direct disregard of those instructions, and the disastrous battle of Olustee its legitimate fruit. General Seymour says, "But the disparity in numbers was too great, and the defense too obstinate to permit of decisive results" at the battle of Olustee. We now know since the close of the war that there was no "disparity in numbers," and knew at the time that the "results" were a "decisive" defeat upon the field of battle and the frustration-as well loss of men as by loss of prestige of-a well and carefully digested plan of campaign. General Finegan, who was in command of the enemy's forces, told two members of my staff (Captain D. S. Leslie, One hundred and fourth U. S. Colored Troops, and Captain Henry Seton, Fifty-fourth New York) that he had only about 5,000 men at that battle. General Seymour had 5,500 men. Our losses were 1,800 men in killed, wounded, and missing, 39 horses, and 6 pieces of artillery. Indeed, our forces appear to have been surprised into fighting, or attempting to fight, an offensive battle, in which the component parts of the command were beaten in detail. The enemy did not fight behind intrenchments or any kind of defenses.
Major-General of Volunteers, Commanding.
HILTON HEAD, S. C., February 23, 1864.
Major General H. W. HALLECK,
General-in-Chief, U. S. Army:
GENERAL: The enemy have thrown so large a force into Florida that I judge it to be inexpedient to attempt to do more at the present time than hold the line of the Saint John's River. The presence of so large a force as General Seymour represents the enemy to have in his front shows the importance he attaches to Florida as a source of supply.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Hilton Head, S. C., February 26, 1864.
Major General H. W. HALLECK,
General-in-Chief, U. S. Army, Washington, D. C.:
GENERAL: I have news from Jacksonville up to the evening of the 24th. The enemy at that time was at Baldwin. General Seymour has been re-enforced and can take care of himself. From the

Two-thirds of the output is covered by a standard contract with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) offering a fixed price of C$0.11/kWh over 20 years. To be eligible for a standard offer contract, projects must be connected to the network at the level of the distribution grid and have a maximum generating capacity of 10 MW.
Sky Generation CEO Glen Estill says the contract was key to getting the wind farm built. "The support of the province's renewable energy standard offer program helped make this project possible," he says. "The real positive thing about it is you are going to get a contract. That was the huge uncertainty before. You would do all of the pre-development work with no idea whether or not you would get a contract."
For small developers like Sky Generation, the prospect of competing for big utility contracts thrown into the arena in a request for proposals process is daunting. The standard offer program presents a way for them to participate in the market, says Estill.
The remaining one-third of the project's output is being sold to Bullfrog Power, a green electricity retailer based in Toronto, allowing Estill to also participate in Ontario's voluntary green power market. "It is not going to be anywhere near as potent as the government itself doing it, but it is additive. It is above and beyond government mandates," he says. "The beautiful thing about that is it goes on even if there is a change in government policy. It gives the people, if you will, the chance to influence where their power comes from."
With Ravenswood complete, Sky Generation is turning its attention to finishing development of another project in the same area using three turbines. If the company can finalise its permits and turbine supply in time, says Estill, the turbines could come on line as early as this year. But what is still not clear is the impact rising turbine prices could have on his decision to proceed. The increases are making it "more and more difficult" for small producers, he says. "I am a little bit worried about the standard offer and what is going on with turbine prices."
Tiered tariff
The OPA has said it expects to review the standard offer tariff at least every two years. Estill says he sees merit in a recommendation for a tiered tariff made by the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association when the standard offer program was first planned. It is expected to make the proposal again when the first review is held. A tiered tariff would see higher prices paid for power from lower speed wind sites. "With the tariff today and turbine prices today we are only going to find the very top sites in the province developed -- and that is problematic. It essentially means they go through the process of signing a bunch of standard offers for projects that don't get built," says Estill.
By the end of 2007, the OPA had executed 241 contracts totalling 915 MW of renewable energy capacity and had another 87 applications to process. Wind led the way with 65 contracts totalling 573 MW. Until Ravenswood, only a 65 kW and a 250 kW wind power installation had reached commercial operation under the program. Two utility scale turbines built earlier this decade were also grandfathered into the program.

"The world's blackest black" polarises and creates a special visual effect for the BMW SAC's latest generation.
This September, the Frankfurt Motor Show will provide the backdrop for the world premiere of the third-generation BMW X6 (fuel consumption combined: 10.7–6.1 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 243–159 g/km)*, the car that established the Sports Activity Coupé segment a good ten years ago. At the event, BMW will also present a spectacular one-off vehicle with a Vantablack® VBx2 nanostructure paint finish that highlights the expressive design language and confident, dominant and muscular appearance of the new BMW X6 to perfection. This exclusive show car is the result of a collaboration between BMW and Surrey NanoSystems, the inventors of the Vantablack technology.
The BMW X6 is the first and only vehicle in the world to feature a Vantablack VBx2 paint finish. "We turned down numerous requests from various automobile manufacturers in the past," explains Ben Jensen, founder and Chief Technical Officer of Surrey NanoSystems. "It took the BMW X6 and its unique, expressive design for us to entertain the idea." With design highlights like the optional Iconic Glow kidney grille, distinctive twin headlights and striking taillights, the new BMW X6 provides fascinating contrasts to offset the Vantablack VBx2 paint finish, which changes the viewer's visual perception of an object's three-dimensional shape.
1% total hemispherical reflectance (THR), meaning it is still considered "super black" while enabling a small amount of reflection from every angle. Thus, materials painted with it seem to lose their three-dimensional appearance – as demonstrated impressively on the BMW X6.
The name Vantablack has already become synonymous with an entire range of extremely black coatings and paints such as VBx2. It contains an acronym of the technology enabling this superior black in its first two syllables, which stand for Vertically Aligned Nano TubeArray, a matrix made out of carbon. Each of these carbon nanotubes has a length of 14 to 50 micrometres, with a diameter of 20 nanometres, making it around 5,000 times thinner than a human hair. As a result, around a billion of these vertically aligned carbon nanotubes fit into one square centimetre. Any light striking this surface is almost completely absorbed rather than reflected, and effectively converted into heat.
This technology was initially developed for coating space-borne components. As Vantablack can be applied at temperatures from as low as 430 degrees Celsius, it is suitable for delicate materials such as aluminium, and optical components coated in Vantablack enable observation of faint stars and distant galaxies that stray light from the sun makes difficult to detect. The first generation of Vantablack introduced by Surrey NanoSystems in 2014 absorbed up to 99.965% of light, almost completely eliminating reflectance and stray light.
The latest incarnation of the car that established the innovative and distinctive Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) segment will have its world premiere at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, from 12 to 22 September. The showroom launch will begin shortly afterwards, in November 2019. The third-generation BMW X6 employs a precise and exclusive design language to underscore its confident, dominant appearance. In addition, its advanced powertrain and chassis technology combines with numerous innovations to provide a uniquely sporty yet luxurious driving experience.

Now I'm an Android fan and enthusiast through and through, I write for Land of Droid because of my passion for the little green robot, but a lot still bugs me. Part of it is to do with the complete mess that is Android's update structure.
Now I tweet my musings quite often about my issues with a few things and it invariably gets a response, this of course mainly is down to the passion from Android users and fans just like me, but it also draws similar outcry's from many a disgruntled user with the same issues that still plague Android. Simply put it, Android is a mess, it's untidy and Google seemingly don't give a care in the world about sorting out so many issues. All I have seen in the past 12-24 months is broken promises, half-arsed attempts to keep a grip on the update structure, and a continued nonchalant manner towards developers and the whole system being a cohesive ecosystem. Yes they do make great strides and I genuinely do love the platform. However, I think this mess will continue to pile up. Google and Android's structure see's it on a path of no return and here is why; the update structure and model that Google adopted, and continue to let run wild without control, has caused massive fragmentation and a massive failure.
Google acquired Android Inc. on August 17, 2005. and with this Android 1.0, the first commercial version of the software, was released on 23 September 2008. So, it's been almost 4 years since Android kicked off with Google steering the vision ahead and attempting to spearhead the mobile platform industry. A vision that has turned and spiralled into one big untidy house that is in need of a good housekeeping. Google own Android, It runs Android, and you would think it controls Android. The thing is, does it really control Android? I don't think so. It's a wild animal that's been let free and roaming without any kind of guidance or vision in the big bad jungle. Just because it's an open source operating system doesn't mean that it has to be let out and be given free reign without a care for the consumers who adopt the platform. It's based off Linux, it's open sourced and that's not an excuse for the lack of control. Various Linux distro's have a fantastic update structure and control over the platform they have, so why can't Android as well.
In essence the model that Google has adopted has spiralled out of control and they are unsure how to deal with the situations that plague it. I don't think they can deal with it unless they adopt a very radical change in direction of course, which i highly doubt. The model and way Android works has it stuck in only one direction…. broken.
Lets check out the latest up to date stats quickly and we can already see the broken and fragmented state Android has grown to become.
As you can see 62% of devices are still stuck on a version of Android that came out 15 months ago, Gingerbread version 2.3.x is still the most widely used across devices, worst yet we still have a quarter of devices running a version of Android that came out 22 months ago, nearly two years since Froyo graced us and still devices that came out last year are running 2.2.x. ICS of course the saviour and Android version promised and touted to reign in the fragmentation has failed in my opinion, with only 1.6% of Android devices running the new version of the little green robot, the source code for Android 4.0 became available on 14 November 2011 – three days before the Galaxy Nexus was released – this means it's been 4 months and now only a handful of devices have received the update, even Google's own Nexus S has not got the OTA update still after it was pulled straight after initial release.
Now Android is big, very BIG. Since Android 1.6 it grew and adopted on a huge scale by device makers to the extent of it becoming the mess we know today. The problem started around 2 years ago and has not changed since – when the last big jump in the platform came with Android version Éclair 2.1, released in January 2010, many devices back then waited 10-12 months for an update and some didn't even get it after that. The update structure is a long drawn out task and here is the current structure that makes it an arduous task for everyone involved.
- Google make the code available to handset manufacturers like HTC, Motorola, and Samsung, who modify, add and change the code to match each device it's being put upon, this of course includes the skins like Sense and TouchWiz. The OEM's then also need to test and debug the new code with each device to ensure that it's bug free.
- Then they hand the code over to the carriers, who then add bloatware and other crap we don't need or want. As well as test of course with their network.
- The end product is that if it's all working and passed through all these markers first, the update will get rolled out either by the OEM or by the carrier.
Each year Google has a hero device. That being the Nexus range of devices. The OEM's don't get hold of the source code until the Google Experience Device is shipped. Yes, they have to wait. Google has indicated that they will "be focusing our partners on Android 4.0.3 as the base version of Ice Cream Sandwich", this version was released and open sourced on 16th December. This would also mean that manufactures would most likely have been put into that direction and it would have put the ICS update process back even more. After all this palaver it is only then that the rest of the device makers, component suppliers, and carriers can get to work. So no head start or early idea of what they are working with, except the chosen OEM to work on the GED device. The last two years being Samsung, of course. This then means time working on the source code and seeing what can be utilized and which devices it can be implemented on . It also means working with various component suppliers and getting it all working in harmony on a base level with the devices in this time. Only then it comes to developing the OEM's overlays/skins like Sense, TouchWiz, MotoBlur etc. to work with the newest version itself.
As you can imagine, this of course takes a long time. Various different devices with lots of work to get the code working bug free and working in harmony with the developed skin as well. Now we see the sim-free editions of handsets get the best updates first, this is of course because it cuts out the carrier's interventions, another period of time and another set of modifying, adding and putting there own additions to the end product of the handset. This was outlined not too long ago by Motorola themselves by entailing what exactly goes into updating to the latest version on Android. All of this work and time is why Android is a complete broken mess. It's the model Android has chosen and it's a model that has created a massive un-cohesive OS with it only spiralling more and more out of control.
Here below is Motorola outlining what the task actually involves.
1. Merge and adapt the new release for different device hardware architecture(s) and carrier customizations – This means that we take the source code and incorporate it into upgrades for devices on which this can perform well, along with making sure the carrier requirements are met. Silicon partners such as Qualcomm, TI, and nVidia adapt this to their chipsets in parallel and we incorporate these as they become available. This is also the time when we begin integrating all of the Motorola-specific software enhancements into the source code. Features like MotoCast, Smart Actions, and our comprehensive enterprise solutions are integral parts of our device experiences, and we want to make sure we continue delivering differentiated experiences for our consumers with these software upgrades.
2. Stabilize and 'bake' the result to drive out bugs – This means that we will prepare the upgrade to meet the quality and stability requirements to enter the wireless carrier's certification lab.
3. Submit the upgrade to the carriers for certification – This is the point in the process where the carrier's lab qualifies and tests the upgrade. Each carrier has different requirements for phases 2 and 3. There may be a two-month preparation cycle to enter a carrier lab cycle of one to three months.
3.5 Perform a Customer pre-release – We may perform some customer testing before a final release is delivered publicly to our user base.
4. Release the upgrade – We are planning on upgrading as many of our phones as possible. The ability to offer the upgrade depends on a number of factors including the hardware/device capabilities, the underlying chipset software support, the ICS support and then the ability to support the Motorola value add software.
With that in mind you can see why it takes such a long time to bring the latest Android version to your device. The Android structure and model that Google have is flawed from the start, with no intention of it being an up to date and mapped out ecosystem. I don't blame the OEM's as they are allowed to do exactly what they are in this for, and that is to run a business and to make money. With only a few small steps set in place for the OEM's such as In order to use the Android trademark, device manufacturers must ensure that the device complies with the Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) and then get permission from Google. Devices must also meet this definition to be eligible to license Google's closed-source applications, including the Play Store app. Nothing else stops them from doing what they like or changing what they want, adding, removing or modifying as much as they wish. So, as a business and to market their own brand we get skins, we get apps branded by the OEM's and we get to wait even more as consumers and owners of these devices running Android.
It's not only this that stops updates churning out quickly and in a scheduled manner. We heard from Samsung that the award-winning and massively sold Galaxy S won't be getting Ice Cream Sandwich, even though it's less than 2 years old and quite capable of running it. The fact of the matter is that the model and structure of Android allows OEM's to do as they wish and this means that although updating older devices with the latest version is great and brings loyalty from consumers, it doesn't bring much business to them. By updating devices it means less newer devices being purchased and taken out on contract through the carriers. It's sales that keep these device makers in business, and as well as between the carrier and OEM a business decision is made whether to invest development efforts and resources into updating a certain model.
The freedom and approach that Android adopts is why we love it so much. It also brought with it a nasty taste to many. It's created this mess, and simply the freedom has created the broken system. Freedom to take the OS and do whatever hardware makers and carriers wish, the freedom to bring out as many devices as they want, and the freedom to drive Android into an ever fragmenting broken state. At the Google I/O last May, Google said this about a new group that will happen – "a new consortium of Android partners who will be collaborating on setting standards for deploying Android updates." This was of course in reference to the now fabled "Android Update Alliance", something that has seemingly been squashed by OEM's and carriers who now enjoy this freedom and business boom they get with Android.
The Android Update Alliance (AUA) was supposed to consist of all the major big name players in the Android game. It was promised that after the Google I/O we would see every handset that gets released updated to the latest version of Android within 18 months. We know now from evidence presented that this was one bold and big impossible promise. No details have followed on from that time and it's a full 10 months without any affirmation on what's going on with this mighty alliance. PC Mag's Jamie Lendino made an attempt to contact major members of the AUA to no avail, simply left with no answer or clarification at all if these devices will be updating to Ice Cream Sandwich at all. Better yet, no answer either on if they even committed at all to the "Android Update Alliance". Did Google attempt to move some muscle and reign in some control?… I think so, and evidently it didn't work. It was a great idea by Google, but a fantasy and dreamland notion that could never have been possible in the first place. Android's update system is flawed and as noted, it's a massive and long drawn out process to getting a device updated, which is ultimately controlled by OEM's and Carriers.
With Google letting anyone do as they wish and customize what they want, they have allowed it to become this messy and broken. It's needs to be become a much tighter working relationship between OEM's and Google itself to get any better at all. This will ensure custom skins/overlays are ready and able to go on top of the base Android, that the device makers know what they are dealing with earlier, and it's pretty much having to become slightly less open. Then again, it's not exactly all open anyway. If they wish to stay like it is and follow the "freedom" and "openness" route, then I can't see it changing anytime soon Messy and broken is what Android's update system is and always will be if it follows same path.
Android's update system will always be this messy and it'll always cause an uproar. Unless things change and Google work closer with the OEM's, chip makers and carriers we will always be left wanting and pulling our hair out on why it takes so long, why my device hasn't got an update in 8 months and why it is never improving no matter how many promises. It's Google. It's the Android update model. And it's not going to change.
Get used to Android as a broken operating system. Flourish it may well do still, but it will continue to be a structure that is a fragmented, messy and with an update system that doesn't help at all to those problems.
This is Android, will it ever get cleaned up?

Our Story
In June of 1992 a storm swept through Cokato, stripping trees of their leaves, vehicles of their windows, and buildings of their walls and/or roofs – Good Shepherd was a total loss. A building committee was already formed due to the fact we were starting to outgrow our current facility. The committee changed gears from adding on to possibly moving to a different location.
The stained glass windows in the former Baptist church had been donated by railroad tycoon James J Hill. The story passed on through the generations claimed that due to the size of the windows and the old church's proximity to the railroad tracks, anytime a train traveled through town the windows would break. After the church replaced the windows many times, Hill made a donation to have stained glass installed. The windows didn't break until the 1992 storm. Most of the stained glass in the current sanctuary windows is from the old church windows, with new glass added to make up for what was too small to reuse.
We are a church family that unapologetically believes the Scripture (2 Tim. 3:14-18), that God is holy and we are sinful (Rom. 3:20-26), but God's love is so great that He adopts us in Christ to be a part of His family (Gal. 3:24-30).
Our ministries include small Bible study groups, help support the Pregnancy Resource Center in St. Cloud, donate to the local food bank in Cokato, and volunteer to deliver Meals on Wheels in the Cokato area, just to name a few ministries. Along with volunteer work there are a number of missionaries we help support.
Our Staff
Pastor Rob Edwards is our senior pastor, with Pastor Mark Olson assisting in pastoral duties. Pastor Mark also leads the youth group and directs the church choir. Monica Berg staffs our office a few days a week, and Emily Anderson is the Sunday School superintendent.

Medical 2015
by – Sheri de Grom
I started this post several months ago and had an entirely different opinion of Urgent Care Clinics. What we'd often called 'Doc's In A Box,' saved Tom's life on March 23, and they didn't mention BIPOLAR DISORDER one time. I have a new respect for this segment of the medical industry.
I don't believe I'm hasty in reversing my opinion. Let's look at the objectionable facts leading up to this incident:
I'd been unable to reach Tom's internist for 4 days and Tom breathing was shallower by the minute. His coughing was uncontrollable and none of our old tricks were working. We still didn't know what was happening to his feet and he couldn't walk. I'd been pushing him in a wheelchair for the better part of 4 months and tending to his every need for well over a year. I was beyond exhausted and had become a prisoner in our home.
I'd thought nothing could be harder than procuring excellent mental health care for the man I loved, but the playing field became upside down when we each turned 65. The past 8 months had been a living hell on earth as I watch Tom suffer and I knew it was needless.
For 25 years I'd read everything possible from lay books to text books and gained useful insight about Tom's mental illness. I'd attended symposiums meant for medical staff only and participated in round-table discussions. I'd written legislation to change existing laws and felt confident that I knew what I was talking about and even demanding.
I insisted on what I thought was right from mental health care workers at all levels (including treating physicians), insurance companies, and legislators alike. I wrote legislation and spent night after night in committees until words were chiseled in such a way they could not be changed once they reached congressional vote. I refused to give an inch.
I entered a new area of health care exploration when Tom was hospitalized Sep 22 and diagnosed incorrectly. He suffered unimaginable pain while I searched for answers. Critical functions of Tom's body were breaking down simultaneously and his doctor of record pumped him full of antibiotics by IV 24/7 with no discernible improvement. Of course, the physician didn't know if Tom had anything that could be fought with antibiotics. We did not have one conclusive 'test' stating this fact.
Tom was in unbearable pain when he was admitted to the hospital on Sep 22 and nothing had changed when he was discharged 8 days later. The doctor sent him home with more antibiotics and pain pills!
I continued my research but the progress was minimal. Seven months passed as we continued to see a parade of physicians wanting to dispense more antibiotics and pain pills. Tom was continuing to fade away and I was becoming more and more frightened. We saw 7 new physicians and not one changed the admitting diagnosis of cellulites yet we still had not one shred of evidence that was what was happening in Tom's body. More and more antibiotics were prescribed and more and more pain pills. We didn't want antibiotics and pain pills, we wanted answers!
I'd had enough, on March 23, 2015, one day before Tom's 67th birthday, I bundled Tom in a heavy coat and drove him to a new Urgent Care Facility (Doc In The Box). It was probably the smartest medical move I'd made in a year when it came to his medical care.
I couldn't take him to the local ER where we had waited for 8 hours before seeing a medical attendant and were treated as though we were second class citizens.
For several months I'd been researching the provision of the Affordable Care Act which drives the latest boom in new construction which is in free standing urgent care facilities.
On this terrible day, I saw the 'Doc In The Box' as a means to an end, immediate care for Tom.
Rounding the sharp edge of their parking lot as fast as I dare go, I gathered Tom from the car and screamed for help as we made our way to the clinic. I didn't have time for that dang wheelchair. I could get him there faster in my arms.
Where does the adrenaline come from, but damn it, I wasn't losing him now. I knew somehow this was our last stop between life and death. It was our last hope!
Yanking the insurance cards from my pocket, I tossed them toward the admitting desk and an orderly rushed to help me with Tom. We were taken to a treatment room immediately.
The doctor's momentum demanded action. Monitoring devises were placed and she barked, "Call EMT for cardiac arrest transport."
How long did I hold my breath waiting for the man I loved to breathe again? Please, God, not like this.
One moment I heard the screaming sounds of the ambulance approach and before I could focus my tear filled eyes, Tom was whisked away. Time ceased to exist. We were living one breath at a time.
What did I learn from this experience: No one at the Urgent Care or 'Doc In The Box, was trying to one-up their peer. They worked as a team and were a ballet in precision. The 4 were seamless and the immediate arrival of the ambulance allowed the smooth transport of Tom into the ambulance for his life-saving trip to the ER.
Much of what had kept Tom from receiving the care he so desperately needed over the past 9 months was doctors playing the one-up-man game and political-in-fighting. There were too many egos for Tom to receive appropriate medical care.
I lost all track of time from the moment Tom left for the ER and the time I arrived at the hospital to join him. A staff member asked if I would like someone to drive our car to the hospital and they would give me a ride.
Arriving at the hospital that night, the many times I'd arrived at hospital ERs for Tom rushed through my memory bank. How many times had I feared for his life, how many times had I prayed, God's will be done?
The ER technicians, physicians, nurses, breathing specialist, cardiologist and the entire medical team worked in unison that fateful night. The primary treating physician told me I came within 3 minutes or less of losing the man I love that day. Why are doctors compelled to tell me how delicate Tom's health is? I know I'm the one that's on first. I know I'm the one that must be vigilant. WHY DOES THE MEDICAL PROFESSION GREET ME WITH SUCH RESISTANCE? I'd called 8 times to Tom's regular providers asking for help as this particular episode turned into a life or death situation.
Is this another case of doctors discriminating against those with a mental illness? Please Lord, tell me it's not so.
I have a new respect for the new Urgent Care Clinics springing up everywhere since the passage of Obamacare. I'm not saying I agree with how it's being accomplished or that I like Obamacare, I don't. I loathe the Affordable Care Act and what it's done to our health care but on March 23, 2015, it saved Tom's life. Urgent Care helped us when no one else was interested in providing the medical care we so urgently needed.
In my earlier research, I discovered it's the few who are making millions on the backs of taxpayers in the building of the Urgent Care Clinics, but that's the way Obama and Obamacare works!
The intent of the new clinics being built today is to insure health care availability where affordable housing is located. [This is the basic premise of the requirement – accessible primary healthcare for those who otherwise could not reach healthcare unless it was in their neighborhood].
The argument for building and financing the clinics was that with them being built in communities where low income populations with insurance lived; the health centers would drive the cost of health care spending down. It was to be a win-win solution.
A $100 million fund has been established to build community centers near affordable housing as demand for primary-care services are expected to rise. The law includes approximately $10 billion for the creation of new, federally qualified health centers.
As reported by the Wall Street Journal, "[the fund will rely on $87 million in loans from Morgan Stanley in exchange for tax credits to build 500 new affordable housing units and eight new health centers serving 75,000 people."]
What I've noticed in our city is approximately 10 – 12 of these primary care clinics have popped up in less than 18 months. Do they serve a purpose? I must say yes, they saved Tom's life when I had no other avenue.
Does our city need or meet the criteria for the clinics. The answer is a resounding no. The clinics are being built in affluent neighborhoods when they are targeted for inner-cities. Yes, the clinics are more likely to succeed in a city such as ours where we have fewer than 10 violent crimes per year.
I was less than pleased when I first read and started researching the hidden monies going into the Urgent Care Clinics masked as Primary Care Clinics. But again, they were there when I needed them and they rose to the occasion.
On a separate note, I've been away from the blog for many weeks and I cannot promise I'll be around more than in the past months. Tom has been an extremely ill man and I spend my days and nights caring for the man I love. I think about little else.
I'm delighted to report we now seem to have a correct diagnosis but in the meantime the wrong diagnosis affected his entire body.
Every good ER doc reminds his patient to follow up with their internist or family doctor as soon as possible. Of course, this very thought returned to my 8 previous attempts to do just that before these life-saving measures were required.
We finally saw Tom's internist on March 31, a total of 6 days after he had gone into cardiac arrest but still the first appointment we could get. Thankfully, I'd advised the ER Doc we might not get in right away and that we had full pharmaceutical coverage. I was giving him permission to write prescriptions for whatever he thought Tom would need over the next week, for fear we couldn't get an immediate appointment. The doc took my word and we had to use every medication the good doc wrote for Tom.
A miracle occurred as a result of this horrific scare and I do wish we hadn't had to sacrifice nearly a year of our lives to arrive at the place where we are today but we now have a protocol in place for Tom's immediate medical needs.
Many of you know I've always been able to call Tom's psychiatrist cell phone direct whenever necessary. I respect the psychiatrist's kindness but I don't hesitate to call when we need his assistance. I also provide an e-mail with specific bullet items spelled out for his quick reference of what I'm seeing regarding Tom's mental health.
Tom's internist was furious when I explained to him what had happened to us over the past year, since Tom's misdiagnosis on Sep 22, 2014. He knew the bolts and nuts as Tom's internist but not the additional issues we'd had in obtaining the medical care Tom needed.
He told us if his nurse did not get back to me within 1 hour of my initial phone call, I was to call his appointment desk and advise them I needed an appointment within 12 hours. It didn't matter if they told me there were no appointments available. His words, "Tell them Dr. Edwards said to double book."
Leaving Dr. Edwards office that day, I had hope. Another private cell phone number should the occasion ever arrive when I couldn't reach him.
Tom's having some of the same problems today and I just called the doctor's office. Something must have changed after he bellowed down the hall the day we left, "All staff, conference room now, everyone."
Today the nurse returned my phone call within 30 minutes and offered an appointment less than an hour out, but I knew I couldn't get Tom and I both ready to leave the house in less than an hour and be there on time. We have the next best thing, an appointment at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.
Your prayers and kind thoughts mean the world to me and I try to make the rounds of reading your blogs as often as possible. I love and respect each of you and hope to get back into some routine of blogging soon. This past year I've learned more about this health care system of ours than I ever cared to learn. I've also learned much about the health care availability in countries around the world and we'll do a bit of exploring there also.
Thanks for sticking with me. God Bless.
Tell me, what have you been up to lately? I've missed each of you.

Davyd Madeley has completed a
preview of Gnome 2.12. I can't wait for this release to come out - there's been some great improvements in gnome in the past two versions, but this one looks like it'll blow them away. A decent-looking pdf viewer including text search and page previews (and integration of it's services into nautilus) is great to see. Hopefully it's not just for locking down the menu, but there's also a Gnome menu editor! I've never worked out how to edit menus in Gnome, and it's something I've been looking for since I started using it as a desktop environment. Sure, some people like the default menu layouts, but they drive me nuts!
GTK 2.8's going to include more and more acceleration through Cairo, which is good to see - finally using my 3D card for something useful (since I don't play games on this machine much) - and making things look even nicer 🙂

Under the plans, put forward by Wolverhampton City Council as it seeks to save £123 million over the next 5 years, the city's other 2 adventure playgrounds, at Gatis Street and The Scotlands, would be closed, with organisations invited to take over the buildings for community use.
Councillor Val Gibson, Wolverhampton City Council's Cabinet Member for Children and Families, said: "I'd encourage everyone who either use any of these adventure playgrounds or is likely to do so in the future, or is a member of a community group which would be interested in taking over the running of either the buildings at Gatis Street or The Scotlands, to have their say during the consultation process.
"We are proposing to concentrate our play services at Old Fallings Adventure Playground which is a purpose built, state of the art centre which has the widest range of facilities, including specialist services for young people with disabilities.
"This would mean the council no longer operating from the Gatis Street or Scotlands Adventure Playground sites. However, as part of our proposals, we are very keen to hear from any community groups who would wish to make use of the facilities at the Gatis Street or Scotlands Adventure Playground sites.
"I'd like to make it very clear that this really isn't something we want to do - but the council is in an incredibly difficult financial situation as a result of Government cutbacks.
"We must save a further £123 million by 2018 to 2019 - on top of the £100 million we have already saved over the last 5 years - and this means that we must make some very tough decisions about the services we provide.
"Although the council does not have a statutory duty to provide play services, we fully recognise the role they have in the well being of our young people.
"We also know how popular our adventure playgrounds are with those young people who use them, so I am pleased that we will be able to continue offering provision at Old Fallings, and hope that we may be able to work with community groups to continue provision elsewhere."
People are encouraged to have their say by completing a short online survey, available at Type=links;Linkid=4748;Title=Play Consultation;Target=_blank; or by attending one of 2 public consultation events, at Gatis Street Adventure Playground at 4pm on Friday 7 November, 2014, and Scotlands Adventure Playground, Chesterton Road, on Tuesday 11 November, 2014, at 4pm.
People can also find out more about the proposal and have their say by contacting Kush Patel on 01902 550354 or via firstname.lastname@example.com or Lisa Hill on 01902 551984 or via firstname.lastname@example.com.
The consultation closes on Friday 9 January, 2015.
- released: Monday 27 October, 2014

Ahead of you get commenced with your new site or modifying your existing web site, you need to have to take into consideration which components and computer software applications you may well have to have to support your initiatives.
When it arrives to components required this can be quite basic or moderately advanced depending on your certain requirements. Of system, if you strategy to create a new site (or even look at your new web site later) you require a computer system. Straightforward plenty of, right? Not necessarily. We desire to work with Apple Macintosh (OSX Leopard on MacBook Pro) as we do a whole lot of intense graphics perform and have earlier invested in Adobe Imaginative Suite software package (Photoshop, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc.). It is just as uncomplicated to develop your new web-site making use of your Windows Pc but we would counsel you remain absent from using Windows Vista (any version) and migrate to Home windows 7 or adhere with Windows XP. These functioning techniques are just substantially far more steady and trusted.
Another thought for hardware need to be some kind of backup really hard generate or detachable USB memory adhere(s). It is crucial that you again up all of your web-site information to a removable drive in the occasion your computer crashes, is broken or is stolen. When you build website data files, most of your information will be saved on the site internet hosting servers but, in a lot of conditions, you will have many other "builder files" that typically hardly ever make it to the hosting servers. If you reduce this information you will be compelled to commence from scratch in lots of cases. Yet another piece of hardware that a lot of neglect about is a Hd Online video Camcorder. If you program to contain video on your internet site, you really should be investing in some thing 50 percent respectable you can typically select up a good online video camera that also captures "continue to shots" for below $500.00.
When it comes to software package necessary, this can be relatively extra complex, yet again relying on what your site design targets are. At the pretty least, you will will need some form of textual content editing software, FTP (file transfer software program), graphics generation software program and then a wide range of other equipment as you development.
Right here are some of the most widespread subjects you must contemplate when preparing the layout of your internet site product.
Do you now have a laptop or computer that can procedure huge data files (i.e. – movie documents) rapidly and successfully?
Web page SERVER
Are you scheduling to host your very own site portal? If so, do you know what type of hardware and server application you will need?
BACKUP Really hard Push or USB Adhere
Do you presently have some form of backup hard push gear or prepare?
Online video Digicam
Will you be creating personalized films for your web-site and, if so, do you have a High definition video digital camera all set to go?
Cell Web Equipment
Are you organizing to make your web-site "cell website pleasant"? If so, do you have an Iphone and an iPad? Android cellphone? Blackberry device? These will be needed for testing needs!
Web page Creation Software program
Do you have any web page generation computer software (i.e. – Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Front Website page) installed, certified and prepared to use?
GRAPHICS Enhancing Computer software
Are you preparing to create your have web-site graphics or edit shots? Do you have the necessary software package (i.e. – Adobe Photoshop or Photo Studio)?
Are you scheduling on developing a database for your web site and, if so, do you know which software package to use for this goal?

Oven Fried Chicken
Here is a wonderful Oven Fried Chicken recipe I got from Cuisine at Home. Nice
and moist on the inside with a crunchy coating. It really tastes "deep fried".
For The Brine
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 cups hot water
4 cups ice cubes
8-10 chicken pieces (thighs, legs, and breasts), skin removed, pierced
3 cups all-purpose flour
2-3 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoons paprika
2 egg whites
1 cup
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Dissolve salt and sugar for brine in hot water in a large container.
Add ice and stir to cool mixture.
Prepare chicken pieces by removing the skin and piercing the meat with a knife.
Add to brine and refrigerate for 1½-2 hours. Preheat oven to 450°. Coat a
4-quart Pyrex baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine flour, pepper, salt, and paprika in a large, heavy bag. Remove chicken
pieces from the brine and lightly pat dry. Place a few pieces into the bag of
seasoned flour and toss to coat. Shake off excess flour and place on a rack. Let
sit 10 minutes.
Beat egg whites to soft peaks.
Add buttermilk and stir gently. Dip floured chicken pieces into the egg
white-buttermilk mixture. Put the dipped pieces back into the seasoned flour
bag. Shake gently and transfer to the rack. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Heat oil in the prepared Pyrex dish by placing it in the oven for 5 minutes.
Set the prepared chicken pieces, meaty-side down, into the hot Pyrex dish; roast
for 30 minutes. Remove dish from the oven and carefully turn pieces over. Return
to the oven and roast 20 minutes more. Remove chicken from the oven and let rest
15 minutes before serving.
Yield: Makes 8-10 pieces

Powdered buttermilk does not have to be mixed
separately. I just add the powder with my flour and the water with the my other
liquids and let it mix in the batter.
