Set in the late 1950s, the communist regime controls Czechoslovakia, and a gap has opened between the pre-war and post-war generations. City girl Daniela meets country boy Mirek while staying at the garden store run by her aunt and uncle. Love begins to bloom, but Daniela's father is furious. He has other plans for his daughter, intent on making the perfect match with an educated catch. This romantic comedy is the final installment of director Hřebejk's Garden Store trilogy, following three families: an air radio operator, a hair salon owner, and a garden store proprietor against the backdrop of one of the most dramatic periods of the last century.
Jan Palach, an uncompromising young man, made the ultimate sacrifice in the hope of rousing the nation from its growing lethargy and of protesting the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. This biopic describes the last months of Palach's life, describing his path from an affectionate son, devoted friend and sensitive philosophy student to "Torch number 1."
Young Czechoslovak men learn to play basketball from American Mormons at a YMCA camp in 1938. When World War II erupts a year later, their coach is arrested and executed. A young lawyer named Franta steps in to manage the team.

According to some, humanity's future lies in space. In addition to the proposals from nations like China, which have announced plans to establish an outpost on the Moon in the next decade, some private aerospace companies are looking to make regular trips to the Moon and beyond a reality.
Someday, this could lead to ventures like space tourism - where customers can book a trip to orbit, the Moon, and even Mars - and even the creation of commercial space stations, and lunar and Martian colonies.
For generations, human beings have fantasized about the day when people could live on the Moon or Mars. But with all the developments that have happened in the past decade or so, we are coming to the point where some of these ideas are starting to look more feasible.
This begs the question: how will human beings live in space over the long haul? Should we be planting our roots in the soil of other planets and altering them (and/or ourselves) to ensure our survival? Or should we look to creating orbiting habitats with microclimates and artificial gravity?

ROCKCOTE Earthen home
ROCKCOTE Earthen home
The ROCKCOTE Earthen Home, a small two bedroom cottage located in Eumundi in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, is a project personally undertaken by company owner/director Bob Cameron for his own mother.
While Bob was adamant that the building be eco-conscious and environmentally-friendly, he was also determined to give his mother exactly what she desired. The family worked together on a design that would accommodate her needs, while possessing the ability to evolve into other uses in the future. ROCKCOTE Natural Materials provided the ideal building medium to meet all the criteria.
The entire house has been constructed using renewable and sustainable resources which can be returned to the earth. The external structure is comprised of a standard timber frame sourced from local plantation timber.
Both the internal and external walls consist of bamboo lath which was then rendered with ROCKCOTE Earthen Render Coarse mixed with straw and finished with a ROCKCOTE Clay Plaster Decor. The internal walls were done using a natural ROCKCOTE Clayset (now discontinued) finished with carnauba wax, and ROCKCOTE Clay Plaster Decor in a natural white applied on the ceilings. There are no painted surfaces internally or externally aside from the doors and trim work which have been done using ROCKCOTE EcoStyle gloss enamel, from our people and planet-friendly paint range containing zero VOCs and no harmful chemicals.
To complement the building materials used, the property is also completely self-sufficient in water. Aside from utilizing a waterless composting toilet, water is supplied to the home by on-site rain water tanks. All greywater is treated on-site and used for the vegetable garden and fruit trees which have been planted on the grounds as well.
The end result is a beautiful, healthy home which provides comfort and convenience, with an overall construction and material cost that does not exceed that of a standard home. Additionally, it uses only approximately 10% of the energy of a standard home while providing far greater levels of comfort and a much healthier living environment. The house maintains an eight-star energy rating, without even taking into account the Earthen Render walls.
Bob said that he had little time for those thinking sustainability was a buzz word.
"Sustainability is not new. For thousands of years civilisations have practiced sustainability.
"The Rockcote Earthen Cottage is a living and literally 'breathing' example of a building that exemplifies how a return to ancient knowledge and traditional skills combined with a revival of natural materials such as mud, sticks and straw can result in a thoroughly affordable, beautiful, modern and sustainable outcome.
"Truly modern companies and institutions of the future will break down the barriers of 'traditional thinking' and adopt the use of these sustainable construction methods and product for their offices, hospitals, schools and universities. What could be smarter than constructing buildings that look beautiful, save money, use less energy and keep their inhabitants healthier and happier, naturally?"
Please note that ROCKCOTE Clayset has now been discontinued. A similar look can be achieved by using ROCKCOTE Otsumigaki.
The ROCKCOTE Earthen Home won the 2013 Glossies Award for Sustainable Building and Design in the Owner/Builder category.
The home is also featured in the August 2013 edition of the Hinterland Times.

Second Hand HeartMusic CD - 2015
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I gave this two listens, and found this to be a nice combination of country and rock. Dwight's voice is just as good as it was when he came out with his first album in 1986.
The songs were not bad and surprisingly clean (morally), but you couldn't hear what he was saying. You had to read the lyrics to know that he was saying. Other than that, recommended.
I never get sick of Dwight Yoakam's voice, but sometimes I forget about him. I heard the title track to this one at the bowling alley last week (how perfect is that?), and realized I hadn't known about this album, which came out in 2015. Worth a listen if you like his iconic high lonesome vocals, or just the kind of well-crafted pop songs with a tinge of classic country that Grandpa would have listened to if he'd had a boom box.
Dwight has put together a solid selection of rockabilly, country-pop, tunes that will please any fan. It is unfortunately quite a short selection in these days where most releases are close to an hour of music. Probably will not get the recognition it deserves because there are so many new " next big things" that the ones we grew up on just seem to get thrown in the " oh ya, another Dwight cd" bin.

Those of you that have been following my social media and website closely must be wondering where on earth I have vanished to. The short answer: back to school.
Before I pursued my career in photography I used to be a teacher. The school where I used to teach invited me to come and fill in for one of the teachers who were about to go on maternity leave. This was a tough decision for me. On the one hand, I felt like my business was doing really well and I felt uneasy to focus my energy into a different place. On the other hand, I really felt like I could use the extra bit of cash to buy new equipment and to make my business shine even more in the long run. I decided I would take the school up on their offer and applied to fill in as a substitute teacher for the next few months. I must admit I was quite nervous to be going back. Being a teacher is hard work and I was fully aware of the struggles that I would have to confront in due time. I was, however, not aware of the surprises that would await me once I got there.
On my first day back I was overwhelmed by the warm welcome I received from the staff members. It felt like a celebration and I was embraced by so many familiar faces (which is fantastic because I adore hugs). I also noticed, out of the corner of my eye, there was a handsome new and unfamiliar face in the crowd- but more on that later. I received a similar welcome from the learners- which surprised the daylight out of me since 95% of a high school teacher's job is to fight with teenagers who refuse to do most of the things one asks of them.
As I predicted, my journey as a substitute teacher was a challenging one and my business suffered because of it. All of my energy went into my teaching and I had little time left for my beautiful baby business that I've worked so hard at for the last two years. I felt a bit hopeless, but I did not realise that my photography would be used as a tool to encourage the people around me.
One for my classes had a group of girls that were quiet and soft spoken (which is a rare thing to find in a high school, trust me). They were intelligent, fierce and beautiful but they had no idea how lovely they were. One of these girls mentioned a few things in class that concerned me. She was so down on herself and believed that she was not worthy of friendship or even love. She mentioned previous friendships and how people have hurt her and I could sense she believed it was normal because of "how she looked." The things she said broke my heart. How could such a young person feel so hopeless? I invited her to a portrait shoot after school. I told her that how she viewed herself was false and she needed to see herself for who she truly was- a beautiful young woman with a world of potential ahead of her.
On the day of the shoot her friends came along for support. Little did they know that they would also be dragged in front of the camera as well! At first they were all a bit nervous, but once they saw the sneak peaks of the photos and how the people around them responded, their confidence slowly started to shine. I was so overwhelmed to see the effects of a photograph and a few encouraging words. It made me fall in love with photography all over again. It's so much more than a few "pretty pics." Photography is all about documenting precious and unique memories and to show people how freaking marvellous they truly are.
When I look back at these past few months and the journey I've been on, I'm overwhelmed by how much I've experienced and learned. Yes, my business took a huge knock. Yes, I'm feeling a bit defeated and overwhelmed with regards to rebuilding my business. BUT I've had an incredible few months of self-discovery and things have happened that I never in my wildest dreams would have thought would ever happen to me, and for that I am truly grateful. As Arianna Huffington said, "Failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of it." I'm ready to work my butt off to make my business fly again.
Elsie Dippenaar Photography is back in business and I'm ready to document people's wondrous stories like never before.
Oh, and the handsome face in the crowd? Well, I guess we kind off sort off fell in love and now he's my person. Meeting this incredible man has been the absolute highlight of my journey and I'm so excited to see what life has in store for us.
*Special thanks to my gorgeous friend Deadly Knitshade for this lovely photograph.

Things You'll Need
- 14-count needlework graph paper
- Pencil
Filet crochet is one of the easiest, and yet most impressive, forms of the craft, drawing pictures of open and filled mesh squares. Chart your own design by referring to quilt patterns, simple charts for counted cross stitch, or any silhouette-style illustration. Be aware of scale — the pattern will almost always work up more coarsely than the chart — and understand that square geometrics will show better than flowing curves, and fairly isolated motifs better than those embedded in complex backgrounds. Start with a simple rectangular panel with a harlequin-style diamond pattern.
Count nine 10-square blocks along a short edge of the graph section of the paper. Mark Xs or dots to fill all 90 squares. Mark vertical borders, also nine blocks of 10 squares each, up from the ends of that first line. Fill in another row of squares inside the first lines. The three borders enclose a space 86 squares on each side.
Mark the square in either lower corner. Skip 20 squares across and mark again. Repeat across until you land in the opposite corner and mark that square.
Work up from each of the squares you marked in Step 2, marking another square out to each side on each row until the marks meet to make another solid line across (10 rows). There will be three squares in each point on the first row in this step (two squares at each side border), five in the next row (three), seven in the next (four), and so on.
Copy the row just below the solid line, leaving two open squares between the sets of filled ones. Continue to narrow each triangle of filled squares to match the lower halves of the diamonds. When you're down to single filled squares at the tops of the diamonds (10 rows), begin expanding the diamonds again as in Step 3.
Fill the space vertically with diamonds by repeating these steps, or simply follow the partial chart when you work the panel.
After you've finished this basic chart, you can enhance it by adding diamonds or other shapes inside the open diamonds, or open shapes, perhaps just outlines, within the solid ones. You might also add crossing lines, like the ones in argyle patterns, across the middles of both solid and open diamonds.

What Vitamins I Take For A Healthy Heart
The following post is sponsored by Doctor's Best® but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
The heart is one of the most important organs in the body and it requires specific nutrients to allow the body to function well. Often times, the heart can be weakened by an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, stress, or environmental pollutants. Therefore, I'm excited to share what vitamins I take that help me to live a heart healthy lifestyle.
Doctor's Best has a range of vitamins for a healthy heart, chief among them is CoQ10, Magnesium and Fish Oil. CoQ10 plus Selenium is a scientifically-studied unique heart health combination. This particular combo contains the same amount of CoQ10 (200mg) and Selenium (200mcg), as clinically tested in the Kisel-10 study in which the participants who took this combination recorded healthier cardiovascular function and higher heart-related quality of life scores.
Want to try them too? Use coupon code 33OFFSEL to get $3 off CoQ10 plus Selenium on Amazon.
Purified & Clear Omega 3 Fish Oil has an almost colorless, pure and fresh oil that is sustainably sourced with full traceability of its high purity and quality. What is fish oil? It's the oil that is extracted from fish tissue. I take fish oil to help support heart, eye, brain and joint health. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating 1-2 portions of fish per week because the omega-3 fatty acids in fish provide health benefits against multiple diseases. However, if you don't eat fish every week, fish oil supplements can help.
Did you know 75% of Americans are deficient in magnesium? High Absorption Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral that is required for optimal function of the cardiovascular system. The body can't make it, so it has to be obtained from diet. Dietary sources of magnesium include legumes, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables. It also helps support heart, bone, nerve, and muscle health. If I can't get enough magnesium in my body through diet, I supplement it.
Therefore, supplementation is a great way to get the proper nutrients that the body needs if diet alone is difficult to achieve. It's important to maintain a healthy heart, as it aids in multiple healthy functions of the body.
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Doctor's Best.

HP's profits still healthy
Hewlett Packard has announced net profits of $484 million on revenues of $11.4 billion in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending in January.
Hewlett Packard has anounced net profits of $484 million on revenues of $11.4 billion in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending in January. That compares to revenues of $10.9 billion generated in the fourth quarter of last year and $12.4 billion in the first quarter of 2001.
The profits represent 25 cents profit per share compared to analysts predicitions of 16 cents per share. Gross profits were $564 million but were adjusted for legal fees associated with the Compaq buy out and staff redundancies.
Carly Fiorina, HP chairman and CEO, said: "We are facing the dual challenges of a weak global economy and rapid industry transformation, driven by advances in technology, changing customer requirements and increased competition. Our first quarter results demonstrate HP's continued ability to stay focused on customers and effectively execute our business plan regardless of market conditions."
"With Compaq's complementary capabilities, we will materially strengthen many key HP businesses -- including servers, storage, PCs, and IT services and support. These businesses are becoming increasingly interrelated with our imaging and printing franchise and must be sufficiently profitable in their own right," she continued.
HP Middle East also saw good results in terms of growth, continuing the trend set last year. "Last year we grew by 16% in the region, tripled the size of our consulting business and doubled our staff. We are are still in the investment stage because we came comparatively late to the market but we are definitely getting a good return on that investment," said Graham Porter, marketing manager, HP Middle East.
However, there is still scepticism about the Compaq deal. Kevin McClosky, portfolio manager at Federated Investors, Pennsylvania, said: "HP has some good businesses and Compaq has some decent businesses and they think putting one and one together gets two maybe even three, but we're not that positive that would happen."
Walter Hewlett, director and well-known opponent of the deal said that the results simply showed that HP did not need Compaq and particularly its low-profit PC business.

The bulk handling and loading of grain, farmyeard manure and biomass digestate requires a dedicated heavy duty machine to cope with the heavy payloads and equally important is the ability to push and climb when ensiling grass or maize forage.
Payloads range from 3.4t on the W110c to 5.4t on the W170C and a hinge pin height of over 4.4m on long reach models, allow a 29ton truck to be fully loaded in no time.
On the W110c and W130c, a 4 speed automatic powershift transmission comes as standard and is switchable to use in manual mode for total control. On the larger W170c model there is also a 5-speed powershift with Ecoshift. Ecoshift automatically loacks the torque convertor at speeds above 8km/h all the way to a max road speed of 40km/h
C series wheel loaders offer Long Reach or Z-Bar configuration. Long Reach models offer a 0.4m increase in hinge pin height at maximum reach, ideal for loading trucks and high sided hoppers.These models are also up to 400kg heavier, so are well suited to forage ensiling.
The front auto locking differential option provides 100% lock when required and the rear open differential ensures all the torque goes to where its needed.
The heavy duty rear axles and rear axle oscillation of 24 degrees allows the C Series to cope with indulating terrain while maintaining traction and stability. Like the New Holland Agricultural tractor range, the C Series range of Wheel Loaders are powered by ECOBlue SCR 4.5L & 6.7L engines developed in partnership with FPT Industrial. New Holland has engineered the C Series Wheel Loaders with the engine mounted far behind the rear axle, optimizing the weight balance with no need to add extra " dead weight". The engine bay hosts the smart box cooling system with a radiator at each side and the reversible fan keeping them always clean and free of debris during busy silage clamping or grain handling operations.

New Mapping Study in the Mouse Heart Finds No Evidence of Cardiac Stem Cells or Proliferative Cardiomyocytes
Review of "Profiling proliferative cells and their progeny in damaged murine hearts" from PNAS by Stuart P. Atkinson
While studies have suggested that the differentiation of cardiac stem cells [1] or the division of preexisting cardiomyocytes [2] may contribute to the generation of new cardiomyocytes during the adult mammalian lifetime, doubts still surround the ability of the heart to regenerate post-injury [3].
Researchers from the group of Hans Clevers (Hubrecht Institute, Utrecht, The Netherlands) recently identified potential problems associated with related studies and sought to bypass any difficulty by employing a previously described Ki67 knockin reporter mouse models [4] to perform genetic lineage tracing and map proliferative cells in neonatal and adult healthy and damaged heart.
Reporting in PNAS, Kretzschmar et al. now report a lack of evidence supporting the existence of a quiescent cardiac stem cell population, generation of new cardiomyocytes via transdifferentiation, or the proliferation of significant numbers of cardiomyocytes post-injury [5].
The authors employed single-cell sequencing and genetic lineage tracing employing Ki67 knockin mouse models to generate an exhaustive and unbiased map of proliferating cells and their progeny in normal and post-injury murine hearts as a means to interrogate the existence of cardiac stem cells. This strategy employed the premise that the ability to replace lost cells/tissue through cell division represents the most direct definition of stem cell function. While the study observed cycling cardiomyocytes during the early postnatal stages, only non-cardiomyocyte cell types appeared to transit through the cell cycle in the normal and damaged adult heart. Interestingly, the authors discovered that the proliferating post-damage cardiac fibroblasts that constitute the fibrotic scar to inhibit cardiac rupture exhibited a gene expression profile that closely resembled neonatal cardiac fibroblasts. Overall, the authors discovered no evidence that corroborated the existence of a quiescent cardiac stem cell population, for transdifferentiation of other cell types toward cardiomyocytes, or the proliferation of significant numbers of cardiomyocytes in response to injury.
The authors highlight the lack of specificity of markers previously employed to identify cardiac stem cells and the detection of the proliferation of non-cardiomyocyte lineage cells in the heart as confounding elements in previous studies and hope that their exhaustive and unbiased dataset will now finally resolve any controversy surrounding adult mammalian cardiac regeneration.

Dangote Oil Refining Company Limited has said the installation of equipment for the crude oil refinery being built in Lagos will begin this month, The Punch reports.
The Head, Quality Assurance/Quality Compliance and Construction, DORC, Mr. Rama Putta, said that the 650,000-barrels-per-day refinery would come on stream by September 2019. According to him, the basic engineering work has reached 98% completion; the detailed engineering, 90%; 3D modelling, 80%; long lead items ordering, 100%; bulk plates ordering, 90%; equipment and bulk items, 50%; and construction activities, 25%.
He said the sand filling of the site was completed six months ago, adding that 60% of the land was swampy. Putta said bringing the land to three metres above the mean sea level was the biggest challenge, adding, "The sand is tightly compacted and ready for the erection of the equipment…We will start erecting the refinery equipment in a week or 10 days' time, and it will take about 15 to 20 months."
According to him, the company will also begin the trading of petroleum products next year ahead of the completion of the refinery. He said the company would complete the construction of the refinery's trading facilities in 2018 and test them by selling imported petroleum products for one year. The facilities include storage tanks, loading gantries and single point moorings as well as pipelines.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he has "total" confidence in Jeff Sessions, amid calls for the attorney general to resign or recuse himself.
Earlier Thursday, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign.
Several Republicans and Democrats have called for Sessions to recuse himself from an investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. election following the revelation he talked twice with Russia's ambassador to the United States during the presidential campaign.
The conversations seem to contradict sworn statements Sessions gave to Congress during his confirmation hearings.
Schumer says a special prosecutor is needed to investigate the allegations of Russian interference and also look into whether the investigation has already been compromised by Sessions.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has accused Sessions of "lying under oath" and demanded that he resign.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has also called on his resignation.

BCTFN (British Community in Thailand Foundation for the Needy) fully funded a complete Project Protein installation at Amphur Phrao. That meant a fish pond, poultry operation, and village vegetable garden and orchard. Village elders decided not to include a mushroom hotel. There were also new sanitary toilets for several families. Seven hundred meters of blue PVC pipe was laid to bring fresh spring water to feed the fish pond, and to supply the entire village.(See previous website pages).
Recently, City Life sponsored a training: Villagers learned skills in hydroponics, composting, and making organic fertilizers and non-toxic pesticides. They even learned to make soaps for bathing and washing dishes.

This study outlines the development of a rating scale designed to measure personality-related behavior in the context of work simulations. The tool, labeled the Work Simulation Personality Rating Scale (WSPRS), was validated in an assessment center by rating the personality of 123 assessment center participants. Scores from the WSPRS were correlated with corresponding traits from a self-reported personality inventory, and a Trait Activation Potential (TAP) framework was adopted to predict which traits would display best convergence based on assessment center observations. Correlations between the WSPRS dimensions and self-report trait scales ranged from .11 (Neuroticism) to .31 (Extraversion), with the rank-order of convergence exactly reproducing the ordering of the TAP judgments made by the experts.

BT has announced that it will be doubling the number of apprentices it hires in order to get extra help for the massive UK-wide broadband roll-out currently being panned.
According to The Telegraph, the company said that it would be hiring 200 more people as apprentices before Christmas.
The number of apprenticeship applications sent to BT in August was 24,000 for a total of 221 positions. The company had received 9,000 applications last year.
BT said in a statement: "This second wave of recruitment will see Openreach recruit more than 200 further people by Christmas which … will be very welcome news in the current climate."
The apprentices will help BT managed the £2.5 billion UK-wide broadband roll-out that the company has been planning.
According to the company's plans, 10 million will be connected to the fibre-based broadband network by 2012. BT also plans to add 4 million people to the network by the end of this year.

Hi, I did a modal analysis of a 2d plate. I generated a .pch file. Now if I open this file in notepad, I see three columns of data for every mode. Are these columns the x,y,z coordinates of the corresponding modeshape? I am asking this because I would like to plot the modeshape in MATLAB. I tried plotting it but I did not get a proper shape. At first I thought that every row corresponds to the coordinates of a node in the mesh. But later I observed that for every mode, the number of rows in the notepad file is different. This is what made me doubt about it. So what exactly does a pch file contain in the case of a modal analysis? It would be of great help if you can suggest me any other way to plot modeshapes in MATLAB using some result file from my analysis in Hyperworks. regards, Vachan

text: TEC Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 A group of us are starting a small sheep co-op for sheepdog training. We are considering including Soay ewes in the flock, along with Katahdins and a few heavier sheep. Soay are a small breed of sheep that lamb easily, and do well on sparse vegetation. I saw a comment on one website that they do not flock well, and are difficult to herd. Have you found this to be true? What have you heard about them? Appreciate your advice and suggestions. I am cross-posting this inquiry in the "Training Discussion" group as well. -- Thank you, TEC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dear Chris and Staff I am just writing here to say thank you for the excellent service received from you and all your staff there. People are so quick to complain, but not as quick to congratulate on a job well done. My husband and I are really pleased with the fitting of the sat nav to our Ford Kuga which we feel has been done to a high standard and with excellent attention to detail. The knowledge you and everyone else who works there seems to have is great and gave me great confidence. And the customer services was professional and friendly. Even though the job you did for us was a small one I'm sure, compared to a lot of your other work, I was made to feel that nothing was too much trouble. The time taken to answer my questions and help me out was very much appreciated. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to other people and will certainly be back again. Thank You !
A few niggles at first that were not the fault of Source Sounds. But even though it wasn't their fault, they spent hours trying to resolve the issues created by my vehicle being electric. I could not recommend the service level of this company any higher, their product knowledge is second to none, have all the gear right there in the shop, and will fit you in as soon as … where else do you find that these days!!
Source Sounds recently completed a stealth boot install in my Octavia, along with new front speakers and some additional little tweaks. The work they have done has been immaculate. You would never know the anything had changed, until the music starts that is. The improvement is immense. I just want to take my car for drives, just to listen to things.
I highly recommend Source Sounds. Excellent work, very helpful and knowledgeable staff and excellent aftercare and support. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my ICE needs.

A few days ago I was playing with the pattern lock, and I locked the phone so it had to be unlocked with a google account. Then I found out that this ain't possible due to some bug, which doesn't accept the password even though it's correct.
Then I was somehow forced to do a factory reset (Volume up + On/Off button). At first the phone seemed the same as when I bought it, it was only much laggier and prone to freezing. Then I noticed that the phone can no longer be normaly shutdown or rebooted. If I press shutdown, the phone freezes on the shutdown animation, always at the same situation, and doesn't respond (I left it through the night, and it was still at the same frame), so it has to be reset with the battery removal. A simmilar thing happens if I press reboot, the phone shuts down but doesn't boot up again, but if I press the On/Off button, the three keys light up for a second and then turn off, besides that nothing happens, so I have to remove the battery again to be able to turn on the phone.But always after these freezes, after the battery removal, when the phone does finally power on, I notice that about 15-35% of the battery power got used up in those few seconds, when I tried to shutdown / reboot and it failed.
In addition sometimes my phone doesn't ring when I get a call or text message. Then I have to reset it with battery removal (since the normal shutdown/reboot doesn't work). Then after the forced restart the phone sometimes rings, other times it doesn't. Once I noticed that if I listen carefully when someone calls, after about 5 seconds there is a sound simmilar to a gong, but sounds really low quality and corrupt (buglike). (Playing the ringtone from the ringtone selection works correctly, so its no speaker problem or such)
And in the last 2-3 days I've noticed the phone eats too much battery. I have to have it plugged all day, because in 5 hours it drains from 100% to 0% even if I'm not touching it. The only app I installed was a task killer, to try if this was the issue, but no. Even though I killed many apps, the problem persists.
My phone is Alcatel OneTouch X-POP (OT-5035X), it was bough about two months ago. I didn't do anything unordinary with it that could be connected with those issues. If anyone has any clues to all this please reply :)

The Waterberg Biosphere is a deciduous dry broadleaf woodland that covers a large part of the north western part of South Africa, the eastern parts of Botswana and the south western part of Zimbabwe. It was one of the first regions in South Africa to be afforded Biosphere Reserve status by UNESCO. It encompasses an area of about 15 000 km2 and is a mix of national, provincial and private reserves, as well as commercial farmland.
The Waterberg Biosphere includes the Waterberg mountain range, which is the most important catchment area for the Limpopo Basin. The Lephalale, Mokolo, Matlabas and Magalakwena Rivers all originate here. In summer the mountains glisten with water and the floodplains are alive with birds. Because of the diverse habitat, there is plenty of game: Over 120 species of mammals, 350 species of birds and 2,000 plant species have been recorded.
The flagship reserve is Marakele National Park. As its Tswana name suggests, Marakele has become a 'place of sanctuary' for an impressive variety of wildlife due to its location in the transitional zone between the dry western and moister eastern regions of South Africa. Contrasting majestic mountain landscapes, grass-clad hills and deep valleys characterize the park. All the large game species, from elephant and rhino to the big cats have settled here.
Welgevonden is one of the premier private game reserves in the Waterberg, but there are many equally beautiful, smaller, top-class reserves sprinkled throughout the area. Further to the west and south respectively lie the Madikwe Game Reserve and the Pilanesberg Game Reserve.
Madikwe Game Reserve is a relatively new project, and was established as a joint venture between the state, the private sector and local communities. At 75 000 hectares, it is one of the largest conservation areas in South Africa. The reserve consists of vast plains of open woodlands and grasslands, dissected by the rugged Tweedepoort Mountains, and bordered in the south by the Dwarsberg Mountains. The area is dotted with huge rocky hills or inselbergs. The reintroduction of game occurred between 1991 and 1997 with a programme called Operation Phoenix, one of the largest game translocation exercises in the world.
More than 8 000 animals of 28 species were released into the reserve, including elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, cheetah, Cape hunting dog, spotted hyena, giraffe and zebra. Endangered wild dogs are a speciality of the reserve and Madikwe's population of these formidable hunters forms a significant part of South Africa's total wild dog population.
The Pilanesberg Game Reserve straddles the transition zone between the dry Kalahari and wetter bushveld vegetation of the Lowveld, which explains the unique combination of mammals, birds and vegetation for which this 55 000 hectare park is known. It is home to healthy populations of lion, leopard, black and white rhino, elephant and buffalo. It is adjacent to the Sun City resort, which is home to two world-class golf courses, a water park, theatre, casinos, shops, restaurants and hotels, and a short hop away from Johannesburg.
This makes it one of the most accessible big five reserves in South Africa. But, it also means that the park can be quite congested, particularly over weekends.

There was one huge game last night in the Vanarama National League South, and tonight we have another.
Havant & Waterlooville can ensure East Thurrock's stay at the top of the league lasts only 24 hours.
The Rocks beat Chelmsford City 2-1 last night to kick the Clarets off top spot.
Havant can do the same but St Albans City have designs of taking first place. If they win well at Clarence Park and results go their way the Saints could return to the summit.
@Hawks_FC on the road to @stalbanscityfc looking to keep their great away record intact, looking to go top tonight with a victory #COYH https://t.co/YIfAu4D2zv

Truro City have had a great start and also have eyes of closing the gap.
Can Lee Hodges' White Tigers keeping it going? They will start to believe they can earn a promotion place if they beat Chelmsford City to make it five wins in a row.
Dartford are going about their business quietly, and so are Eastbourne Borough.
A great match is in prospect at Princes Park this evening that's for sure and Sports manager Jamie Howell said: "There's not many more difficult places to go in the league right now.
"But we go to Dartford with confidence. It's got the makings of a good game."
Whitehawk must find that first win sooner rather than later. If it comes at Welling United tonight, then their season get get up and running.
Can @TCFC_Official make it five @TheNationalLge south wins in a row when they entertain @ChipTownFC this evening? Usual updates here

Improving Hemel Hempstead have a big home match against Bognor Regis and their manager Dean Brennan knows it's an important match.
"We have won our last two games and we just need to keep on winning and we'll see where it takes us," the Vauxhall Road boss said.
"But we're playing well and it would be great to make in three in a row tonight."
Oxford City welcome Weston-Super-Mare who are much improved – and their manager Marc McGregor thinks his side should have won at Chelmsford City on Saturday.
There is an Essex derby at Concord Rangers and as Braintree Town pay the Aspect Arena a visit.
Both teams have different ambitions and after losing at Hemel last time out Bradley Quinton is demanding a reaction from the Iron this evening.
National League South games:
Concord Rangers v Braintree Town
Dartford v Eastbourne Borough
Hemel Hempstead v Bognor
Oxford City v Weston-Super-Mare
St Albans City v Havant & Waterlooville
Truro City v Chippenham

Mean-Spirited Legislation
by jhwygirl
Sen. Greg Barkus, of Kalispell has proposed SB329 which would eliminate virtually all specialty license plates and the money that goes with them to non-profits around the state.
That one has its hearing scheduled for tomorrow – tomorrow being Tuesday.
Barkus, the man behind SB481, which would exempt all stimulus projects from MEPA – which is, incidentally, still in House Federal Relations, Energy, and Telecommunications, awaiting executive action OR death on a tied committee vote (hint-hint?).
I liked this post, from Politics, Peaks & Valleys so much, I think I'm giving it to ya'all a third time. The Editor at Button Valley Bugle really likes Barkus – they've written about him 4 times.
The mean-spirited specialty plate legislation is in Senate Highways and Transportation – Libby Goodwin the secretary – firstname.lastname@example.com.
The unconstitutional anti-MEPA legislation is in House FRET, Nadine Spencer the secretary – email@example.com
Of course, you could make it easy on yourself and call the Session Information Desk at 406-444-4800 to leave a message for both legislative committees in one sweet, short call.
Did he get cut off by a Trout Unlimited member?
what a jerk. Carrying the water for the sniveling highway patrol, I'd guess. They've always whined about "so many plates".
These plates have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for open space to start with and dozens of other worthwhile charities.
All voluntary donations from people…an official "bumper sticker" as it were, that people pay to have.
Frivolous bills, unconstitutional bills, mean-spirited bills….and certain names keep coming up over and over again–Barkus, Steinbeisser, McGee, et al. The 61st Hall of Shame will have a full cast of characters when it's all said and done.
I'm with the Jerk from Kalispell on the license plate bill. Some things — like license plates and high school stadiums — just should not be a venue for advertising. The Deer Lodge prison spent a bundle to get new equipment to make these flat, non-embossed plates which are rendered useless by winter road chemicals or if a car is found torched.
Maybe there is no need to fret about this legislation because his Barkus is worse than his bite…
Even the regular plates are made the same way. And there are…vin numbers.
Pingback on Sep 1st, 2009 at 10:02 pm
[…] if Barkus felt compelled to resign. There's a long line for that way in front of me. He wasn't a favorite of mine last session, and I have trouble convincing myself that anyone else could be […]

Who knew math had moves?
Veteran math teacher turned first-year computer science teacher, Katie Brown, wasn't quite sure what to expect when she learned Texas Instruments was bringing its' new robotic car, the TI-Innovator Rover, to share with her pre-AP computer science class. But after one 50-minute class period, she was hooked – and her students were too.
Katie Brown, Reagan High School teacher (left), pictured with students in her computer science class which won the Rover dance-off, along with Peter Balyta, president of TI Education Technology
"Since they have implemented more robotics into the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills), it's a perfect time for us to be able to have something like this in the classroom," said Brown. Students in her computer science class were among more than 1200 students across San Antonio that participated in an area-wide STEM day, sponsored by TI. Employees from TI and T³ instructors, who were in San Antonio for the T³ International Conference, volunteered their time to go into schools and help students see how learning math and science can be fun.
Since September, TI has been visiting schools around the country, teaching students how to use their graphing calculators to program Rover to do things like draw, dance or even crash. Students at Regan High School were having some much fun with Rover that it captured the attention of the local news.

"I didn't know that you could program with a calculator, at all, so this was really interesting," said Aurea Le, a freshman in Brown's class. She and classmate, Bayaan Musa, worked together to program their Rover to dance to a Bruno Mars song. "We are trying to sync it with the lyrics of the song so that when it says go there, we are having Rover go left and right," said Musa. They wrote a program to make Rover drive left, right, backward and spin in a circle.

Rover was designed for beginners. The purpose is to show all kids that learning to program can be fun, and easy to get started in coding and robotics. "I wasn't really interested in programming, but today, after seeing what I could do, I am kind of interested in it now," said 9th grader, Hunter Boren.
Students in his class have been learning programming this year, but this was their first experience using a graphing calculator to enter the commands. "I never knew that you could use a calculator to code anything," said Zachary True, one of the students. "I was proved wrong today. It's definitely possible."
Students crowded into the hallway outside of the computer lab where they faced off in a dance competition. The kids laughed as Rover moved to music, many dancing alongside them. MaKenzie Kennedy, who can be seen dancing along with her team's Rover, said her math skills were a big help. "You have to know your angles, degrees, how far you want to move up, how far you want to move backward," she said.

That's music to her teacher Katie Brown's ears. "I'm super excited about it," she said. "I'm a math teacher and a computer science teacher, so I love implementing the calculator and the programming together and can't wait to see what my students do next."See the media coverage:

According to The Guardian, the European Parliament would allocate 1.1 million euros annually for the work of an EU anti-propaganda unit targeting alleged "Russian fake news." A senior Russian lawmaker has commented on the issue.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Moscow will take political and diplomatic measures in response to the allocation of over 1 million euros (over $1 million) to counter Russian media, senior Russian upper house lawmaker Vladimir Dzhabarov has told Sputnik.
"The European media in Russia may also become subject to the law [on foreign agents]. Its application will begin with US media, but if Europeans will resort to the same practices against Russian media as the US does, they will receive a similar answer," Dzhabarov, the Russian first deputy chairman of the Federation Council's Committee on International Affairs, said.
The statement comes in the wake of The Guardian report citing sources, saying that the European Parliament would allocate 1.1 million euros annually for the work of an EU anti-propaganda unit to "counter disinformation and fake news from Russia." The East StratCom taskforce will receive money directly from the EU budget for the first time since it was set up in 2015, according to the newspaper.

In November 2016, the European Parliament voted in favor of a resolution to counter alleged Russian anti-EU propaganda, that compares particularily RT and Sputnik with propaganda disseminated by the Daesh terrorist group. According to the document, such media as Sputnik and RT allegedly pose a danger to European unity and thus, extra European Commission funding is needed for counter-propaganda projects. Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on the adoption of the resolution, congratulated RT and Sputnik journalists on their effective work and stressed that it indicated the apparent degradation of the concept of democracy in Western society.
Separately, Russian media outlets have been suffering from extreme pressure in the US amid a probe into Moscow's alleged meddling in the November 2016 presidential election, with Moscow preparing symmetrical measures.
Moscow's Alleged Interference
Media speculations came after European Council President Donald Tusk claimed, following Friday's Eastern Partnership summit, that "cyber-attacks, fake news, hybrid war" were the bloc's main problem. In his statement Tusk reportedly referred to a major foreign speech made by UK Prime Minister Theresa May earlier this month, in which she had accused Moscow of interfering in other states' affairs, spreading "fake stories" in media, aggressive policies "to sow discord in the West," claims slammed by Moscow as "irresponsible" and "groundless." However, a day later, May said that her accusations were not related to the UK.

Commenting on the claims, Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said that "hysteria is being incited in order to divert the attention of their voters away from the inability to solve these domestic issues."
Previously, Lavrov has called the allegations of Russia's interference in EU affairs that had arisen in several European states, including Britain, France and Germany, amid the probe into the alleged Russian meddling in the US presidential election "ridiculous."

text: Infrastructure IBM to target SMBs with first Power5+ servers China Martens @itworldca Published: October 4th, 2005IBM Corp. is expected to release the first servers based on its new 64-bit Power5+ processors Tuesday, according to a company executive. The machines are aimed at small to midsize businesses (SMBs). They include several new products, notably a quadcore server, together with new virtualization and systems management software.The Power5+ chips come in clock speeds of either 1.5GHz or 1.9GHz with a maximum of 72M bytes of onboard cache memory, according to Jeff Howard, program director for IBM's p5 product marketing."We're heavily targeting SMBs," Howard said in a phone interview Monday. "More than 58 percent of the Unix opportunity is in the SMB space." IBM typically defines SMBs as companies employing 1,000 staff or less, he added.The new System p5 550 Q is powered by a 1.5GHz quadcore Power5+ chip enabling the hardware to function as an eight-way machine, he said.The System p5 505 is IBM's first rack server for the Power5 or Power5+ architecture in a 1U form factor. U is the standard unit for measuring the space between shelves on a server rack where 1U equals 1.75 inches."We're starting with p5 and will extend [the Power5+ chip] to the midrange and high-end in 2006," Howard said.IBM also upgraded two existing server models to feature the new chip — the two-way 1.9GHz System p5 520 and the four-way 1.9GHz System p5 550.The servers are available with IBM's own flavor of Unix, AIX 5L, or in what Big Blue calls the OpenPower edition with the Linux operating system from either Red Hat Inc. or Novell Inc. The machines are part of IBM's Express line of hardware targeting both SMBs and startup companies. All the machines come with a three-year warranty, according to Howard."We've taken the best of our eServer p5 and OpenPower line that we had in the past," Howard said. IBM is dropping the eServer prefix from its p5 product line and replacing it with "System," a rebranding move begun back in July when the company introduced its latest mainframe as the System z9, he explained.Big Blue expects all the Power5+-based machines to ship from Oct. 14. The System p5 505 has a starting price of US$3,750, while IBM is still finalizing pricing for the other servers.IBM also announced two new software products targeted at SMBs. Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) provides a browser-based interface to the company's virtualization micropartitioning capabilities, according to Howard. "It takes three clicks of a mouse to create and activate a micropartition," he said. "We're making the use of virtualization much, much easier."Big Blue also took the wraps off a pSeries version of its Director 5.1 systems management software which it said will be free of charge to its pSeries customers. Users should be able to download the software from IBM's Web site starting Nov. 25.IBM is manufacturing the Power5+ chips at its East Fishkill, New York facility with a new 90-nanometer production process, according to Howard.In the area of high performance computing, IBM Tuesday unveiled a new workstation, the IntelliStation Power 285, based on the Power5+ chip. The company also came out with a 16-way p5 575 for supercomputing applications, also powered by the new 64-bit processor.Rival Sun Microsystems Inc. released the first servers based on its new UltraSparc IV+ chips last month. Both IBM and Sun's processors are based on the Risc (reduced instruction set computing) architecture.

Enjoying his work so immensely, he managed to obtain a Guinness World Record for being the longest working cartoonist in history. Well, sheer passion and commitment are the only tools which helped him achieve this big in his life. Convinced with the idea of doing something different, he came with the plan of doing a cheap fold-in for MAD Magazine. Working for the first fold in he came up with thought of 'Who would be Elizabeth Taylor's Next?' he was frightened about his idea. But surprisingly, it was accepted by the publishers and he was asked for more such ideas. Driven by the motivation, he came up with an amazing idea, wherein the face of the 'President to be' was actually hidden in the lamps on the side of the picture. Later, he came up with 450 innovations of this type. A lover of hand drawing, Al Jaffey loves to work, and his young heart can't be defeated by anyone for sure!

Sunraysia Academy of Sport athlete, Beth Hayden, excelled at the State Victorian titles recently to come home with three medals.
Last weekend, Beth Hayden was one of four Mildura shooters who placed at the Victorian State Carnival held over three days at Echuca.
Beth ended up with; one gold (Junior teams event where she was representing the North West Zone), one silver (Double Rise B Grade) and one bronze medal (Single barrel B Grade).
Beth had only shot the double rise competitively twice before – and one of those was at the state carnival last year. In Double Rise a shooter has two shots to hit two targets released simultaneously. Â She won her individual medals by winning both her shoot offs – a terrific effort as they are held in front of the club house with everyone watching. Initially she and the person she tied with shot the same score (8 out of 10 targets) in the shoot off so they had to shoot again – this time Beth didn't miss a target and won easily.
The Academy would like to congratulate Beth on these fantastic results at the Victorian State Carnival. Beth is only relatively new to the sport of Clay Target Shooting and this year with the support of the Academy has started to really make her mark in the sport. Every competition she attends she is improving. Winning in a shoot off requires lots of concentration and focus and work with a Sport Psychologist earlier in the year has provided Beth with some tips on staying mentally tough.

Football: Best yet for Islington & Camden boys
PUBLISHED: 09:30 01 December 2017
Islington & Camden under-13 boys produced their best display of the season to beat Havering 4-2 in the English Schools' Trophy.
Sammy Djilli got them off to a fine start, swapping passes with Billy Osborn before firing into the bottom corner.
Osborn made it 2-0, latching on to a through ball and rounding the keeper to smash into the empty net.
Havering hit back just before half-time and the second half was end to end with both keepers making decent saves.
I&C made it 3-1 when Shirley found Osborn in the box to beat a defender and the keeper from close range,
Coleman Miles was free in the six-yard box to volley home, before Havering got a late consolation. Harrison Bull was man of the match as I&C reached the last 16.
Marc Stocking said: "The boys were amazing from the very first whistle. They didn't let Havering play, our shape was good and the passing was exactly what we have been working on.
"The first 25 minutes was as good a performance as I have seen at this level, the boys should be very proud of themselves and we look forward to the next game."

The Introduction | Endowment Intern Raven
My first week as an ETV Endowment intern involved several hours in the van. Our (mine and the ETV Upstate's station manager, William Richardson) first trip to Columbia was for the staff appreciation day luncheon. I was able to see some familiar faces as well as meet other members of the ETV staff. However, the best part of the day was the food! As a former engineering intern, I have learned to value lunch time like never before. We were also given t-shirts, which was an added bonus. I am told that the shirt is a throwback to an old logo, one that was way before my time.
Our second trip to Columbia was a bit different. This time, I was able to sit in on ETV's diversity training. This training focused on generational diversity and succession planning. That's another benefit that the ETV Endowment internship has afforded me. Not only am I able to learn about media production, but I also am gaining knowledge on how organizations work and how to work in a multi-generational environment. Now that I have some diversity training under my belt, I can navigate through challenges that other students my age might not be able to.

The trial of former Health and Child Care minister David Parirenyatwa who is facing charges of criminal abuse of has been postponed following a request by the defence to have the record transcribed.
Parirenyatwa was being accused of abuse of office after he allegedly ordered NatPham, a state pharmaceutical enterprise to hire Newman Madzikwa as its director without following due process.
The ex-minister through his lawyers James Makina and Advocate Deepak Mehta wants the record transcribed in order to help them cross examine and proceed properly.
The matter was postponed to April 10 and the trial with continue continuously until April 12.
Parirenyatwa has long pleaded not guilty indicating that he made all his decisions in compliance with the ministry's '100 day action plan'.
The state represented by Brian Vito alleged that Parirenyatwa on June 4, 2018 ordered NatPharm board chairman, Dr George Washaya, to terminate Flora Nancy Sifeku's contract as managing director saying he required her services at his then Ministry before directing Washaya to appoint Madzikwa as the acting managing director of NatPharm.
The board complied with the directive resulting in Sifeku and Mr Madzikwa both being given six-month contracts with effect from June to November 30, 2018.
This allegedly resulted in NatPharm paying two salaries concurrently to Sifeku and Madzikwa for the managing director's position, thereby prejudicing the company of $30 000. Parirenyatwa is out on $500 bail coupled with stringent bail conditions and will appear on February 12 for continuation of trial.
