Industry 4.0 for your foundry
- Details
- Category: News
Industry 4.0 is the 4th industrial revolution and is achieved when all relevant information is available in real time due to the connection of all instances in the value chain.
Industry 4.0 allows you to:
- Monitor and control all critical operations remotely
- Collect and analyse data in continuously
- Receive feedback on product performance in real-time.
- Make better, more accurate decisions about production and product developments
- Improve client satisfaction through improved quality and delivery time frames.
Despite Industry 4.0 being nearly 10 years old, few foundries have embraced the advantages of new connected technologies, in part due to the challenges with replacing existing equipment. For the majority of foundries the principal challenge is finance, followed by operational challenges such as managing new processes and retraining staff.

Carroll E. Shelton
1928 - 2019
Viewing at Church
Funeral Mass
Obituary of Carroll E. Shelton
Carroll "Buck" E. Shelton, Jr., age 91, quintessential newsman, baseball fan and family man, died Sunday July 7, 2019 at Meadowood Senior Living retirement community in Worcester, Montgomery County.
Buck was the son of Carroll E. and Florence Holland Shelton. Buck's father was a newsman too as well as a public relations director in the Philadelphia political scene. Buck was predeceased by his wife Patricia Stillmun Shelton of 62 years.
Born in Philadelphia on January 29, 1928, Buck graduated from Cheltenham High School, Elkins Park, PA in 1945. Thereafter, he served in the U.S. Army from April 1946 until May 1947 during which time he was commissioned in Seoul Korea becoming editor of the 7,000 circulation Korea Graphic, a tabloid printed in Seoul and distributed weekly to the liberation troops.
Buck began his career in 1945 as a copy boy at The Evening Bulletin, the largest evening newspaper in America in the 1950s. His favorite beat was taking stats at sports events. Over the years you would never find Buck at a Phillies game without pen and paper copiously working on the box scores.
Following a break for Army service, he took advantage of the G.I. Bill to attend LaSalle College, Philadelphia, PA, earning a B.A. in pre-law in 1952. During the last two years of college, he worked nights at The Bulletin where he remained for 35 years, completing his time there as a news editor. When the newspaper stopped publication on his birthday January 29, 1992, Buck moved to The Times-Herald Norristown where he was editor for ten more years until he retired.
Buck was married on February 2, 1952 (Groundhog Day). While an only child himself, Buck was the father of seven children. They are Mary Pat Zack (Jim), Kathleen Smith (Bill), Deborah French, John Shelton (Pam), Michael Shelton (Karen), Margaret Varani (Kevin) and Peter Shelton (Dolly). Also remembering him with loving fondness are fifteen grandchildren: Stephanie Zack Jimmerson, Jessica Zack Whiting, Jeannine Zack, Will Smith, Patricia Smith, Maureen French, Diane French, Tim Shelton, Tamara Shelton Siler, Ashley Shelton Morrison, Kyle Shelton, Scott Shelton, Matthew Varani, Brian Varani and Janice Shelton. Buck was predeceased by grandson, P.J. Shelton. He was also great grandfather to seven: Grace Siler, Paul Siler, Connor Morrison, Jackson Morrison, Kellan Jimmerson, Eva Jimmerson and Annie Shelton.
Relatives and friends are invited to his visitation from 9:00 to 9:45 a.m. and funeral mass 10 a.m. on Monday July 15, 2019, at Corpus Christi Church, 900 Sumneytown Pike, Lansdale, PA. Interment will take place at St. Matthew Parish Mausoleum, North Lane and Butler Pike, Conshohocken, PA.
Funeral arrangements are handled by Moore, Snear & Ruggiero, (610) 828-0330. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Bread for the World, www.bread.org.

Now a famous singer and the former soloist of group "VIA Gra" Anna Sedokova is the owner of a gorgeous figure and one of the sexiest women in the Russian show business.
But it turned out that in her youth the girl was not popular among members of the opposite sex. Anna posted a photo where she is 13 years old and told why it was.
"Everyone, this is me. I'm 13 and as you know, I didn't have a boyfriend, more exactly 7 years and now you know why. I didn't really have friends I went to school on fine and was the most popular girl, Wilkin daughter. The boys passed me by and the girls too. I don't think you are not beautiful, I do nothing about itself, is not considered. Here I am, here I can sing, go to a music school, need good grades.
Of money on things that were not and wore the same shirt for several years. Before long this was, but after a few years, the topic has become. I then felt terribly fashionable", — said Sedokova.
Although many subscribers have decided to support your favorite star and wrote that and then she was a very pretty girl.

A galactic event of epic proportions – Bigpoint's DarkOrbit (www.darkorbit.com) celebrates its four-year anniversary! Since its launch four years ago, DarkOrbit has won many awards and attracted over 47 million registered users, making it not only one of the most successful browser games of all time but also one of the most spectacular and largest sci-fi game worlds ever created. Every day, hundreds of thousands of players fly their customized spaceships across the DarkOrbit galaxy, seeking rare resources, hunting aliens and engaging in action-packed battles. Over 650,000 Streuner NPCs are shot down per day on Instance 22 – one of the game's oldest and busiest servers – resulting in an average of 15,000 aliens for every pilot over the span of their career.
Dark Orbit Offers Presents for everyone
DarkOrbit players didn't fly away empty-handed on DarkOrbit's 4th anniversary: Gift packs filled with valuable items such as X4 ammo, rockets, credits or fireworks were sent out into space for players to collect. The icing on the cake was the birthday galaxy gate which players could travel through to explore an unknown galaxy and take on a brand-new menace.
"DarkOrbit has been one of Bigpoint's success stories these past four years" says Philip Reisberger, Chief Games Officer at Bigpoint. "It's absolutely amazing how much enthusiasm long-term fans and newcomers alike have poured into the game, making it an exciting, action-packed online universe. We've got many surprises planned for the future – and the galaxy gate was just a taste of what's to come."
In the Flash-based game DarkOrbit, thousands of players fight for control over the galaxy's resources in their 3D-rendered spaceships. The award-winning free-to-play browser game, which can be played in over 26 languages at www.darkorbit.com, is one of the most successful online games in Internet history.

My girl is faaaaaaaamous!
Earlier this year we were contacted on social media about getting pics of Vienna for use in a book about dogs – and as a benefit for rescue pups. Of course we said yes! And I couldn't believe the PERFECT quote they put on her page…check it out:
This is the Bible journaling page and the page in my workbook that I created – same kind of idea, but we came to it totally separately! (See the video HERE.)

There is a principle in law in Australia called adverse possession. If you use something for at least 20 years and don't recompense the owner, who does not make a claim on you, you can claim ownership. It's a very drawn out version of 'Finders keepers, losers weepers' I guess. I'm not sure that the same principle applies in Timor, but quite a few companies publish letters stating their sole right to names (such as Samsung, Toyota etc). I do wonder if this is in response to, or anticipation of, such a law.
It rains every day, and there is more water on the roads and less water in the drains. Haven't figured that one out.
Many of the Timorese seem to sing their language (which is not tonal). Just Add Water pointed this out to me about a month ago, and now my accent is much better as a result. Rising and falling inflections are often the only way to distinguish between a statement, a question and a demand. No wonder that the word for language in Tetum ('lian') also means song.
It's Christmas and all over Dili, people are building nativity scenes, with spare wood, thatched roofs and cut-out or even plaster figures. And huge numbers of multi-coloured LED lights. Often there are sound systems and kind of impromptu parties going on. It seems to me that these are being set up by poorer, rather than richer folks, despite the electrics etc. Sometimes Santa Claus is accompanying the three kings. The local Burger King hands out cardboard crowns (without branding) for kid's birthdays, and some of these are being used on the plaster heads of the kings.
There is an unofficial contest for 'highest Chrstmas tree in Dili'. The current winner is Telcomcel, whose entry is only visible at night, since it is green LEDs strung from the ground to the top of a mobile phone base station. A lot of us have thought that the Telcomcel people in particular are showing tendencies about which Freud might have something to say.
All Government cars have to be labelled as such ("kareta estada"), to prevent corrupt use. This does not stop assignees legally using the cars after hours, just as in Australia governments fund privately plated cars for senior officials. There seem to be an awful lot of "kareta estada" on the streets.
Fireworks seem to be freely available and a toy of choice for children. I haven't yet worked up the courage to ask where I can buy some, but a few (or more than a few) fireworks for my birthday next year sounds like fun.
Dogs are everywhere. In the heat of the day, they sleep so bonelessly by the side of the road that I've thought they were dead, perhaps fatally hit by a car. Until they'd open one sleepy unconcerned eye or cock an ear. A dog on my street barks a bit at anyone, but goes nuts whenever I walk by. I'm wondering if it hates me because I smell like a malae. Or if I just need to change my deodorant.
People, especially young women, and also people on motorbikes wear jackets or hoodies backwards. To my eyes it's an odd look. Maybe it helps keep their clothes clean?

Garden Report – Sept 18, 2018
THANK YOU to all the summer watering volunteers that allowed our school garden to flourish over the dry summer months! Special thanks to Ada Ng who took over extra watering days when the SPEC Intern was unable to continue due to illness. Our other watering volunteers were Amy O'Biran, Annie Wong, Charis Broadbent, Christie & Jon Chua, Edna Aguinaga, Filomena Lucatuorto, teacher Ivy Chang, Jennifer Eng, Krista Kieswetter, Leigh Malone, Leslie Bishko, Mary Wilson, Nina O'Donnell, Pat Lee, Pearl Chow, Susan Scott and Val Kao.
- Watering during the school year is shared by Ms. Linda de Jardin's grade 6/7 class and Mr. Gary Loong's class.
- Nikoo from SPEC has already started gardening workshops again. This fall term, she is leading Seed Saving Workshops and Composting Workshops. She has space for 8 classes per workshops. Each student pays $3/workshop.
- We have lots of seeds we can save from the garden, and we would like to hold a seed and herb sale this fall.
- We will make another request to West Coast Seeds for a seed donation for a larger variety of seeds to plant this year.
- We will be doing a new sign up for teachers and their classes to take care of a planter box this year. There are a total of 18 boxes in the Food Garden. Teachers who sign up for a box will attend an information session during the October Pro D Day. Teachers will need to commit to maintaining the box and cleaning it up at the end of the school year.
- There is a UBC Think & Eat Green @ School (TEGS) event on Fri Sept 21 that Val and Linda de Jardin will attend. We received a TEGS grant of $1,000 last year, and Val will apply for another TEGS grant this year.
- This is the 2nd year we are incorporating the $3/student garden fee as part of the school fees. We would like to have the entire school community involved with the garden, and are proposing another workshop with Lori Snyder, an indigenous herbalist and educator. She has a "Medicinal Salve Making Workshop" involving infused plant oil and melted beeswax to make a healing skin salve. It is $6 per student, and she has offered a 10% large group discount. The PAC garden funds/grant would need to supplement the remaining balance of fees for the workshop.
- We received another RBC Days of Giving Grant – $1,000 for garden projects and $1,000 for the library. The garden project involves building low fences around the Native Plant Garden boxes, making stepping stones and painting garden markers. We will need parent volunteers for the RBC Grant Work Nights on Wed Oct 3 and Thurs Oct 4.
- Future garden considerations include hiring another organization like Earthbites to help us with year-long management of the garden. However, the cost of this is about $35/student. Also we may consider having a Fresh Roots farm on the school grounds, but the cost for this is significant as well, around $80,000.
Please contact Val at email@example.com if you are would like to volunteer in any capacity for the garden.

When Sten Crissey, AAF, walked into the White House in the spring of 1990, he looked around the room and took a deep breath.
Crissey, then president of the Society of American Florists, and a group of SAF members had been invited to the Yellow Oval Room to induct Barbara Bush into the American Academy of Floriculture. Mrs. Bush was a lifelong lover of flowers and plants. The designation is a high honor in the floral industry, and Crissey felt intimidated by his surroundings. Then, he saw the First Lady.
"Whatever thoughts I had about being overwhelmed disappeared when I saw her smile," he said. "She was so gracious. She made us feel like we were walking into her personal home."
During his remarks, Crissey drew a parallel between Mrs. Bush's efforts as First Lady to improve literacy with the work of SAF members. "I spoke about the commonality we had, in caring for the welfare of families," he explained. "She expressed that through her literacy campaigns, and we expressed it by helping our industry's small family businesses."
Crissey also remembers telling Mrs. Bush how much he admired her commitment to her values and her family, invoking a phrase made popular by her husband. "As the president envisions a thousand points of light, for us in the floral industry, you are a prism of inspiration," he said.
Before and after the presentation, Mrs. Bush chatted amiably with the SAF members, displaying both warmth and humor: Earlier that same day a group of farmers had publicly donated boxes of broccoli to Washington, D.C.-area food banks in a good-hearted rebuke of President Bush's well-known disdain for the vegetable. Mrs. Bush said she was delighted by the stunt.
The AAF presentation at the White House happened during SAF's annual Congressional Action Days; it was the first year Terril Nell, Ph.D., AAF, attended the event. Like Crissey, he was struck by Mrs. Bush's kindness.
"She greeted everyone personally and was very gracious talking about her love of gardening," said Nell, a professor emeritus at the University of Florida, former SAF president and the current research coordinator for the American Floral Endowment. "When she got to me and saw 'University of Florida' on my name tag, her whole demeanor changed. She said, 'Do you know my Jeb? I had to tell her that no, I didn't know her son, and then she immediately said, 'Well, I really hope you get to meet him some day.' I'll never forget how genuine she was, how her whole face lit up when she talked about her family."
Red Kennicott, AAF, another former SAF president, shared a similar memory. Kennicott traveled from Chicago for the event, bringing along his youngest daughter, Sarah, a high schooler at the time, to meet the First Lady.
"Mrs. Bush was extremely generous and kind to all of our group and especially to the younger people, both with her time and interest, and in allowing photos," he said.
SAF coordinated the floral decorations for the public events of the inaugurations of Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
After Mrs. Bush died last week at the age of 92, mourners at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston gathered to celebrate her long life, and flowers played a central role in the services. Pictures of the First Lady's casket, adorned with an elegant spray of roses and other cut flowers in springtime hues, ran on news shows and in publications around the globe.
Bill McKinley, the director of Texas A&M's Benz School of Floral Design, created two wreaths near her gravesite. He used pink roses, sprigs of cherry blossoms (a reference to the Bush family's time in D.C. and China) and foliage intended to honor her gardening love. He also draped a string of faux pearls along the stands.
"Obviously it was an honor and a privilege to be able to pay tribute to such a well-respected, iconic almost, personality in our country," McKinley told The Eagle, a local publication.
Charity Reel of Mayesh said local florists were sourcing peonies, garden roses, lilacs and garden-style flowers for sympathy design work. "The trend was a blush color and feminine, high-end flower requests," said Reel, sales manager for the wholesaler's Houston location. "We had retail floral businesses and event companies all coming to us for the last-minute flower orders."
Mark Ruisinger of Mark Anthony Florist in Houston said he imagined "just about every florist in Houston received orders."
"It was a frantic morning for our wholesaler, but the funeral was very well organized," Ruisinger said. During the service, he was at a client's home, prepping for a separate event, when he saw some of the buses ferrying people to the church.
Mory Azadi of Tanglewood Flowers & Garden said customers who called his shop wanted "very specific" flowers and colors — in particular, people wanted a yellow rose, in honor of Texas.
"We had customers calling in from all over, it wasn't' just Houstonians," said Azadi, who also hosted a news crew during the busy period.
As for the funeral itself, "I've never seen anything like it here, with the road closures and blocked streets, but it was very organized and very efficient, and for local florists, familiar with Houston and the sites, it was easy to get in and deliver our designs," Azadi said. "I was honored to be a small part of this. She was an important and beloved person."

Lotto winner leaves it very late to claim his R28m prize
The winner of a R28m lottery ticket - which was on the brink of expiring - has come forward, Ithuba said on Tuesday, a day before the ticket expired.
The ticket was due to expire on Wednesday February 13.
"The 58-year-old male is from Ravensmead in Cape Town. The winner opted not to divulge any further information about himself and, as the operator, we respect his wishes," Ithuba said.
The lottery operator has been searching for the winner for almost a year, and issued a warning that the winnings would be forfeited should the ticket-holder not come forward.
Ithuba said that the money would then have been donated to the National Lotteries distribution trust fund to be used for charity.
The winning ticket had been bought at Shoprite Checkers in Sanlam Centre' Parow' in Cape Town, according to Ithuba.
Spokesperson Busisiwe Koloi said, "The player used a Quick Pick selection method' with a ticket wager of R15."

). But he wrecks the broadcasting studio and escapes. He then concocts and carries out a plan to kidnap Tokyo Rose and thus terminate her broadcasts. Radio and politics became inextricably mixed in the United States in the 1930s. Franklin Delano Roosevelt became par excellence the 'radio president' making over 300 radio addresses between 1933 and 1945. His addresses became popularly known as 'fireside chats' and created that vital 'illusion of intimacy'; they were
The importance of films in the cultural and social life of both Britain and the United States has long been recognized. Although radio survived in Britain more or less intact, by 1960 it too had taken second place to television as the prime domestic medium. This book begins by analysing the very different relationships between cinema and radio that emerged in Britain and the United States. It moves on to examine the ways in which cinema adapted radio programmes in the fields of comedy and detective fiction and then how radio dramatized films. When radio first took off in the United States in the late 1920s, it was regarded by the film industry as a rival, something to keep people at home and away from the cinema. But during the 1930s, Hollywood began to appreciate the value of radio in publicizing and promoting its films. The British broadcasting service was set up in 1922 with a monopoly and finance from a licence fee following negotiations between the Post Office, which controlled the air waves, and the radio industry, which manufactured the equipment. Radio in wartime was informational and inspirational. It provided news, entertainment, and propaganda. The book concludes with a look in detail at the ways in which the two media have dealt with three popular fictional characters, the
, and not-quite-so anonymous flâneurs. 1 Nevertheless, this study is not, it is hoped, just about technology or just about cinemas. Such a story would be over-deterministic. On the contrary it seeks to place the development of cinema in a broad social, economic, cultural and political context. For as Belton observes: '[t]he identity of the cinema as an institution remains bound
cinemas, initially on the edges and latterly in the centre of Britain's towns and cities, was the result of changes in economic, political and cultural policies precipitated by both the apparent triumph of laissez-faire capitalism and the hegemony of the Hollywood film. Moreover, the design of the multiplex and its place within a shifting consumer landscape saw the development of larger and grander buildings often located close
There was also strict censorship, with sex, politics, race, religion, profanity and bodily functions all banned. When Mae West and Don Ameche performed an Adam and Eve sketch on The Edgar Bergen Show in 1937, there was an outcry. The Catholic Church threatened a boycott of Chase and Sanborn Coffee, the programme's sponsor, and there was a formal investigation by the Federal Communications Commission. As a result Mae West was off the air for the next 37 years
was in many ways a political move intended to pacify middle-class pressure groups, local authorities and central government which, it was feared in the case of the latter, would impose state censorship. Much of the agitation for greater censorship and regulation of the cinema came from a plethora of moral and religious pressure groups, drawing their constituents largely from amongst the middle and upper classes, such as the
themes in Victorian thought: the desire to raise the general cultural level of the population, to incorporate the newly enfranchised working classes into the existing social and political order, and to educate the population for participation in mass democracy, something that was only fully established in the United Kingdom after the First World War, when women finally got the vote. Radio was uniquely placed in the inter-war years to undertake the implementation
Police, Reap the Wild Wind, The Story of Dr Wassell and Samson and Delilah . But perhaps the director whose work was most in tune with the kind of family values Lux wanted to promote was Frank Capra.

The CEA and the government terms, as a source of revenue. The Ministry of Labour, meanwhile, eyed it – or more accurately the seventy-five thousand staff it employed – as a source of productive manpower.15 Yet both the Treasury and the Ministry of Labour were also aware of the political implications of treating the exhibition industry too harshly. A balance therefore needed to be struck between what British cinemas might be expected to do for the government, and their ongoing duty to their patrons. Striking this balance was not always easy, however. As the

Meriden, KS Residents Learn to Avoid Performing Their Own Tree Services

As simple as our professionals may make a stump grinding appear to be, there are actually lots of ways to wind up butchering a tree.

Things to Look for When Evaluating Tree Trimming Companies in Meriden, KS
According to the Meriden, Kansas staff at ARCSA-USA, there are certain procedures that need to be completed to ensure that trees remain as attractive as possible. Tree trimming and pruning are two of the most crucial services to have completed at least every year as this helps the tree take its shape. Then, in the event that your tree has died or been struck by a storm, having tree removal performed as soon as possible is also strongly suggested.

- The best Portuguese cork available;
- Custom made ALPS aluminum reel seat;

Fred and Astra find themselves floating in a thick white mist that glows
with a light of its own. At first they can't remember anything, but then
their memories slowly come back to them, and they recall with painful
clarity their last few minutes, and all that they went through before that.
"Where are we?" Astra asks, trying to make sense of it all.
"I don't know," Fred says. "I think we.. we... I think we're..." His voice weakens for a moments as we says, "I think we're dead."
They're silent, struck with the suddenness of their death and the strangeness of this life-after-death. Where are they? How did they get here? What's going to happen to them now?
Suddenly, as if in answer to their thoughts, a door appears before them out of the mists. They stare at in shock. They glance at each other, though Fred tentatively reaches out and opens the door.
On the other side of the door is what appears to be a small office, with a desk, a bookshelf, a potted plant, and a door on the far side. Sitting at the desk is a young man. There's something strangely familiar about him; Fred and Astra feel as if they should know him somehow.
The man looks up. Then he recognizes them. "Oh, hi! Please, come in."
Fred and Astra feel themselves floating into the room, drawn by a great power beyond their control or comprehension. The force sets them down in two seats in front of the man's desk, shutting the door behind them.
"Hi," the man says again, smiling amiably. "You must be Fred and Astra." He reaches out and shakes their hands. "I'm Sir Seeker."
"A-are you an angel?" Fred asks nervously.
"Hmm? Angel?" Sir Seeker frowns. "Oh, no. I'm only an author."
"An author?" Astra says.
"Yes," Sir Seeker explains. "I'm one of the guiding forces behind your adventures. We, the authors, determine your fates and the fates of all of the who you meet."
Fred's eyes go wide. "Y-you mean... you're..."
"Oh, no, no," Sir Seeker says. "We're not what you think. It's just that... you see, the two of you are living inside a story in which you, Frederigo, are the main character, and you, Astra, are a supporting character. We, the authors, write your stories and squabble over your fates. We're the ones who cause everything that happens to you two to happen."
Fred and Astra are silent for a long time. Then, finally, Astra asks, in a slow, quiet voice, "So why are we here?"
"Well, it seems an author has killed you in one of your storylines," Sir Seeker explains, "and you've been sent here so we can deal with it."
"Deal with it?" Fred says.
"Yeah," Sir Seeker says. "You see, until now there's only really been one 'afterlife' episode, episode 60, and every time -- or virtually every time -- that Fred has died he's been sent there. Now that both of you, Fred and Astra, have died, we can't very well send Fred there without doing something with Astra. We had to create an entirely new afterlife to deal with this."
"Wow, I'm sorry..." Astra says.
Sir Seeker shrugs. "Hey, that's okay. It me another opportunity to write myself into the story."
"Wait," Fred says impatiently, "do we have to die?"
"That's the other thing I have to tell you," Sir Seeker says. "As long as we've had to create an entirely new death episode we've taken the opportunity to create some new death options as well.
"Normally," he continues, "We'd just send you to heaven or... err.. the other place, or send you back to the beginning of the game, or something like that. This time, though, we're offering you some other options for the afterlife."
"Like what?" Astra asks.
"Well, first of all, if you want to continue your adventures in the living world, you can go for the reincarnation option. We'll send you back to earth in different bodies -- don't worry, we'll send you back together, and fully grown -- and you'll complete a new quest for us. When you're done with your quest you can keep the bodies for the rest of their natural lifespans. If you don't complete the task, though, or fail it, I'm afraid we'll have to repossess the bodies and you'll have to come back here.
"Second, we can send you back to earth as guardian angels. You'll have to look out for someone else on earth, keep him (or her) out of trouble, and so on. You'll get cool powers and, better yet, stylish wings. Unfortunately, no one will see you, not even the person you're protecting, and you won't be able to interact directly with the world.
"Third, we can send you back as ghosts. You'll be assigned a graveyard or an old castle or something, and you'll have to haunt it and terrify as many people as you can. It could be fun if you're into that sort of thing, but, again, you can't talk to anyone or interact directly with the world, and, even worse, you'll disappear in the daylight and only appear again at night.
"And, of course, I can always refer you to the ol' pearly gates -- though I'm afraid you'll have to go separately."
"Is there anything else?" Fred says.
"Hmmm..." Sir Seeker says. "Maybe. I'll have to check my computer. And I've left the episode extendable, just in case another author comes up with something better.
"So," Sir Seeker finally says, looking Fred and Astra in the eyes, "what do you want?"

What are the other factors to consider before buying an endowment plan?
An endowment plan provides cover as well as savings. However, it is more expensive than a term plan. Also, the entire amount of money you put in doesn't get invested in your fund. An amount is deducted for your insurance fund. So if you purely want to invest the money, you should look at the pure saving platforms such as PPF or mutual funds. Similarly, if you want pure life cover, you could opt for a term plan. However, if you have particular financial goals to meet in the future and want to assure that your family isn't left in a challenging spot in your absence, buy an endowment plan as it will take care of these issues very effectively.
How Does an Endowment Plan Work?
An endowment plan is one of the easiest insurance plans to understand. It is a traditional insurance policy which combines insurance and savings. So you basically keep paying the premium till a particular period of time and after that, when the policy matures, you get a lump sum amount of money. If during the policy period you happen to die, your beneficiary gets the death benefit. In this way it is similar to a basic term plan. However, unlike a basic term plan, an endowment plan has the return component, i.e. it pays an endowment to the policyholder.

CSS – Web Development Standards
This page is to illustrate SHC's coding of CSS that should be followed during the development process. Some of this document will reference Emily Lewis' article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptjunkie/ff679957. We suggest reading it in its entirety, but the gems will be added and notated below.
Note: This is written assuming a basic knowledge of CSS and attributes. Attributes will not be discussed at length in this document.
Naming Conventions
CSS selector names should be simple, descriptive, and memorable. Wherever possible, create abstract names that relate to the function or the meaning of the elements the selector targets ("call-to-action" is better than "link," for example, and "submit-action" better than "submit-button"). Avoid cryptic abbreviations (though standard abbreviations, like "cta" instead of "call-to-action," are fine). Avoid names that use Javascript reserved words or the names of HTML elements. Avoid using color or position or spacing words ("link-orange," "padding-20," etc.) that would tie the name to design choices that can change over time. Avoid using ordinals tied to an element's document position, whether words or numbers ("cta-one," "link2," etc.).
Hyphenated names in all lower case are preferred to camel-case names. This follows the pattern set by the CSS standard (for example in property names, "border-bottom," and in selectors, ":first-child"). CSS is also case-insensitive, so camel-casing could in some cases lead to confusion (".myname" and ".myName" are not different selectors). In practice, hyphenating encourages the creation of memorable and predictable patterns ("device-wide," "device-narrow" in a responsive scenario) and discourages the sort of cryptic names that often crop up in camel case ("mktplBnr" instead of "marketplace-banner"). Do not use underscores in CSS names.
IDs have typically been camel-cased, to allow them to be addressed directly in Javascript (which doesn't allow hyphens in identifiers). That form of DOM access is a legacy feature that has been superseded by document.getElementById() and by the jQuery id selector. But there's no objection to camel-cased IDs, if it helps reinforce the fact of ID uniqueness, and so long as the practice is consistent within a given CSS file.
#here-is-my-example {
.here-is-my-example a{
#here-is-another-example, #here-is-my-example {
Multi-Line Format
For readability purposes please keep the code in a multi-line format and avoid the single line format. Attributes to a class should be indented below the class name by a tab, or 4 spaces.
.navigation-rss-icon {
position: absolute;
left: 940px;
bottom: 0px;
#navigation-rss {
position: absolute;
left: 720px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #897567;
line-height: 2.5em;
#navigation-rss li {
display: inline;
#navigation-rss li a:link, #navigation-rss li a:visited {
color: #fffffe;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0px 2px;
letter-spacing: -0.05em;
#navigation-rss li a:hover {
color: #eed2a1;
text-decoration: none;
Use of IDs
ID selectors target an elment on a page whose ID attribute is equal to the selector name. ID selectors begin with a pound character (#) and can have any name valid for an HTML ID. (Be aware that HTML 4 placed restrictions on valid IDs that no longer apply in HTML 5.) By rule, an ID can be used ONCE AND ONCE ONLY on any given HTML page. CSS behavior is not guaranteed if that rule is violated.
#main-text {

This is the main text of the page...

ID selectors are the most performant available. In the example above, writing the selector as "div#main-text" would gain you nothing except a few extra bytes of file size. In general, avoid extra specifiers on IDs.
Use of Classes
A class selector in CSS targets all HTML elments whose class attribute equals the selector name, or contains that name as part of a whitespace-delimited list. Class selectors begin with a dot (.) and can have any name comformant with CSS character rules.
The following rule creates a class called "warning," which makes the text of all elements with that class (e.g. class="warning," or class="warning and other names") bold and red.
.warning {
Following are a couple examples of elements of the warning class:

WARNING

Don't even go there!

Note: If the class selector is preceded by an element name, then that selector only applies to the specified type of element.
To illustrate, the following two rules indicate that h2 elements of the class "warning" will be underlined, while p elements of the class "warning" should not be.
h2.warning {
p.warning {
Because both rules indicate that the color should be red (#f00), this should be rewritten as follows:
.warning {
h2.warning {
p.warning {
Note: The notation of two class selectors written without a space between them targets an element that has both those names in its CLASS attribute. So in terms of the HTML example, this CSS displays the same as the code above:
.warning {
.warning.hostile {
This feature can be useful in designing more modular/semantically rich CSS.
Avoid Same ID and Class Names
Make sure when coding that you do not create an ID and a class with the same name. This creates confusion and could trip up another developer who comes along later to maintain your code.
#shop-items a span {
color: #666;
display: block;
.shop-items a span {
display: block;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
Although it is technically possible to code in this manner and it will render without issue, essentially it's an obfuscation and should be avoided.
The larger and more complex your CSS files become, or the more CSS files you start to juggle with, the greater likelihood there is of conflicts turning up. That is where specificity comes into play.
If the selectors are the same then the latest one will always take precedence.
p {
color: red;
p {
color: blue;
p elements would be colored blue because that rule came last.
Conflicts quite legitimately come up when you have nested selectors.
div p {
color: red;
p {
color: blue;
Based on order
p elements within a
div element would be colored "blue", seeing as a rule to color
p elements "blue" comes last, but they would actually be colored "red" due to the specificity of the first selector. The more specific a selector, the more preference it will be given when it comes to conflicting styles.
The actual specificity of a group of nested selectors takes some calculating. Basically, you give every id selector ("#whatever") a value of 100, every class selector (".whatever") a value of 10 and every HTML selector ("whatever") a value of 1. Add them all up and you'll have the specificity value.
phas a specificity of 1 (1 HTML selector = 1)
div phas a specificity of 2 (2 HTML selectors = 1 + 1 = 2)
.treehas a specificity of 10 (1 class selector = 10)
div p.treehas a specificity of 12 (2 HTML selectors, 1 class selector = 1 + 1 + 10 = 12)
#baobabhas a specificity of 100 (1 id selector = 100)
body #content .alternative phas a specificity of 112 (1 HTML selector, 1 id selector, 1 class selector, 1 HTML selector = 1 + 100 + 10 + 1 = 112)
So if all of these examples were used,
div p.tree (with a specificity of 12) would win out over
div p (with a specificity of 2) and
body #content .alternative p would win out over all of them, regardless of the order.
Use the following as a guide in determining what z-index you should use on an element should such be required.
|z-index Range
|Content Type
|< 0

|Not to exceed -9999
|0 - 999
|Main Content, Standard Ads

Should existing elements break these conventions - repair them as required via JIRA level initiave or project inclusion.
Shorthand CSS
Shorthand in CSS is where you define several properties of the same kind as one single property. CSS Shorthand makes development much easier and keeps your CSS clean, short & accessible.
EXAMPLE (margin):
margin:25px 50px 75px 100px;
- top margin is 25px
- right margin is 50px
- bottom margin is 75px
- left margin is 100px
margin:25px 50px 75px;
- top margin is 25px
- right and left margins are 50px
- bottom margin is 75px
margin:25px 50px;
- top and bottom margins are 25px
- right and left margins are 50px
- all four margins are 25px
EXAMPLE (background):
background: red url(image.png) repeat top left scroll;
background-color: red;
background-image: url(image.png);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: top left;
background-attachment: scroll;
Borders, Background, Fonts, Lists, Padding and Margin should all be written in shorthand whenever possible.

Comments should be used for the following:
- Start of major sections of the style sheet (so others can pickup and easily understand / edit your work)
- Fixes to original CSS because of problem tickets being issued (JIRA)
- Document information: original author, creation date, late update version, and version number (optional, but very helpful)

Do Not Use CSS Expressions
The problem with expressions is that they are evaluated more frequently than most people expect. Not only are they evaluated when the page is rendered and resized, but also when the page is scrolled and even when the user moves the mouse over the page. Adding a counter to the CSS expression allows us to keep track of when and how often a CSS expression is evaluated. Moving the mouse around the page can easily generate more than 10,000 evaluations.
#mml-vertical .discussion-wrap a {
max-height: 26px;

The Finnish Melodic Heavy Metal band Stargazery will release the studio Vinyl edition of the album "Eye On The Sky" on 14th June 2019 with Pure Steel Records on 14th June 2019.
Those of you who remember the first version in the classic CD version, already know what I'm talking about, for those who do not yet know Stargazery, it's time to discover the band.
Born late in 2005, the bus is formed by Jari Tiura (ex- Michael Schenker Group, Stargazery), Pete Ahonen (Burning Point , Ghost Machinery) who kindly answered the interview published here a few days ago, Jukka Jokikokko (Zenith Reunion), Marco Sneck (Afterworld,Nothnegal), Jussi Ontero ( Death's-Head And The Space Allusion, Burning Point, Ghost Machinery ).
This premise is necessary, because it makes you understand the importance of the musicians compose this band, said this, we can start to talk about the album, opens by "Dying" powerful piece that comes close to the AOR genre mixed with a melodic heavy metal, great guitars and impressive choirs, captivating and a groove decidedly eighties, good piece but the best must come.
In fact, with the following "Puppet On A String" the band manages to give a remarkable musical turn with the contribution of keyboards that reach epic metal sounds, as well as guitars, always present and always powerful, a warm voice that can change depending on the songs. This is a beautiful heavy metal piece, with an extraordinary guitar solo.
Very involving "I Am The Night" that between a harder rock sound and metal veins, the band manages to blend a perfect mood for a song I would say remarkable thanks to the lyrics of Jari Tiura and brilliant keyboard.
"How Many Miles" is another power piece with epic choruses and an excellent rhythm section. In itself the piece is bright and exciting, perhaps as musicality is similar to that of Savatage, with typical American timbres but it is still a good song.
A classic hard rock metal piece is "Everytime I Dream Of You", a very respectable semi ballad with redundant guitars that mark a plus point for this track, bringing a breath of impetus.
Beautiful is the following anthemical "Judah (The Lion)", great Stargazeries that still show an emotional charge between melodic sounds and a decidedly epic and solemn sound.
"S.O.S", once again the band gives us a song full of rhythm with an extraordinary drums, a theatrical song and a sound always projected towards the epic metal.
"Jester Of Kings" is instead a song with hard rock veins and an emphatic musical carpet purely metal with classical sounds, in which the voice is confirmed changeable to changes in tone.
"Headless Cross" is a Black Sabbath, while "Rescue Me", included as bonus track on this Vinyl version, is such a good piece, the perfect bonus for their fans, a song in which the band continues to show their determination and undeniable ability to carry on a genre that will never see an end, especially as long as there are groups like Stargazery. I just love this album!

Services Tips for The Average Joe
By : Jane -
Getting Deals on iPhone for You to Save Money and to Have Fantastic Contracts The beautiful iPhone from Apple is an excellent-looking gadget which delivers excellent performance. Compared to the different smartphones, there is actually no other kind of phone which is able to compare with the gadgets from Apple. There are many companies which try to outsmart the phone but you must know that the product from Apple stays on top. You have to know that Apple doesn't just make the iPhone available for everyone and to get your phone, you must be prepared to sign a contract with a service provider. In the UK, you may select from different service providers such as O2, Three, T Mobile and Vodafone. Through choosing the service provider, you can make sure that you get the service from the provider who offers great coverage in the place where you actually live.
