Giro Aspect Road HelmetInspired by vintage race cars, the simple silhouette of the Giro Aspect Road Helmet is designed with innovative materials for the urban commuter, but underneath, you'll find Tour de France proven technology that any high-end roadie will love. In-Mold construction is shaped to give a classic look, increase aerodynamics and improve structural support. Thermoformed SL Roll Cage provides an extra measure of strength and integrity that you'll never notice, unless you need it. 19 Wind Tunnel vents with long channels create more "air space" around your head for a cooler experience. Ultrasuede interior and chin strap feel incredibly soft and detachable cloth visor keeps the sun and rain out of your face. New Roc Loc Air fit system suspends the helmet just slightly off the top of your head, allowing air to pass freely in between the EPS and your head, for better fit, comfort and cooling. Functional style and impressive performance join forces in this one-of-a-kind helmet.
- In-Mold construction reinforces the area around the vents and ribs, creating a one-piece exoskeleton, which allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable and better ventilated than traditional designs
- Thermoformed SL Roll Cage is a polycarbonate skeleton fused throughout the helmet's impact absorbing EPS foam liner, which provides structural support, impact dispersion and penetration resistance
- Injection molded rubber or aluminum side panels add reinforcement
- 19 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channels thrust cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing heat and stale air out
- Ultrasuede interior and chin strap padding for moisture control and comfort
- Removable cloth visor protects eyes from sun, rain and debris
- Roc Loc Air fit system:
- Suspends the helmet slightly above the head, creating an optimized path for air to flow through the helmet
- Venturi effect increases efficiency of the vents and internal ventilation channels without creating drag
- Easily adjusts both fit tension and vertical position with a single hand
- Soft heathered webbing is lightweight, won't twist and requires no adjustment

This willfocus on "Implementation of the Monetisation Policy in the Federal CivilService of Nigeria." Monetisation, in this context, can be taken to meanconverting into cash the fringe benefits being enjoyed by Civil Servantsas part of their remuneration package and conditions of service.ANTECEDENTS OF REMUNERATION IN THE NIGERIAN CIVILSERVICE2.Although the colonialization of the geographical area today knownas Nigeria by the British started way before then, Nigeria as a nationcame into being only in 1914. Concomitantly, although the colonialpowers had in place various arrangements for administering the variousparts of the territory before 1914, the Nigerian Civil Service can onlytrace its origin, as it were, also to 1914.3.As one would expect, at the beginning, just about all the seniorand policy making positions were occupied by British expatriates while2Page 33Nigerians were largely restricted to junior posts and menial jobs. Thiswas at a time when the sun never set on the British Empire, and theyhad colonies in practically all parts of the globe. Expatriate British CivilServants were, as such, moved from colony to colony, sometimes atshort notice, but always in the larger interest of the British ColonialService4.It was, therefore, also natural that the conditions of service andthe remuneration package would be tailored to suit the living style ofthese itinerant expatriates. Residential quarters were provided,furnished and maintained by Government. Utility bills for thesequarters, including electricity, water and telephone services, were alsopicked up by Government at minimal cost to the Officers. In a similarmanner, Government facilitated procurement of vehicles by theseOfficers at generous rates that could be conveniently deducted fromtheir salaries. Domestics Servants were hired for them at Governmentexpense while their medical bills as well as those of their spouses andchildren were also defrayed from public purse. All in all, life wasorganized in such a manner that made it as easy as possible for theseexpatriate staff to move from one colony to another with minimal stressin service of the British Crown.Page 445.Naturally, this created resentment among the Nigerian civilservants about a policy that was clearly discriminatory against themeven as it was made necessary by the determination of Government toremain an all-provider to its expatriate employees only. Gradually, asNigerians acquired more political powers and moved towards self-governance and independence, conditions for entry into the SeniorService increasingly became relaxed, and more Nigerians foundthemselves in positions of authority. It was, as such, not a surprisethat when the country became independent on 1stOctober, 1960, oneof the cardinal policies of government was Nigerianisation of the CivilService, especially its upper echelon. Rather unfortunately, however, asNigerians came to dominate the policy-making positions, it did notappear imperative to Government to re-examine certain aspects of thestructure of the conditions of service of its employees. If only this hadbeen done, it would have been realized that the circumstances forNigerians were different in that they were indigenes unlike the Britishcolonial civil servants and so the adoption hook, line and sinker of thestructure of compensation being left behind by the colonial powerwould have been inappropriate. A critical examination of the issuewould have at least revealed that in Britain itself where the expatriatesPage 55came from, Government was not providing residential quarters and carsfor Civil Servants nor was it hiring domestic servants and paying utilitybills for them. The long and short of it, however, was that the NigerianCivil Servants adopted the life style of their colonial predecessors inoffice and exploited this loophole in the system to their maximumadvantage.6.Over the years, the lack of wisdom of this position startedmanifesting gradually to both the Government and the Civil Servants.Government found out that it was one thing to bear all theseresponsibilities for a few thousand employees, which was the size of theservice in the beginning, and a totally different kettle of fish to lookafter 187,876 staff members which is currently the size of the FederalCivil Service. An average Civil Servant, especially at the lowest level,retired from service without a house or a vehicle he could call his own.This created a situation under which retirement encouraged steps, bothregular and irregular, to delay the arrival of the day of his retirement.When the inevitable eventually happened and he left the service, therealities set in and in many cases this resulted in mental healthproblems and of shorter life expectancy. The situation was, as such,Page 66essentially a lose-lose one that was neither in the interest of the CivilServant and his community nor to the benefit of Government.7.At the on-set of his first term of office in May 1999, PresidentObasanjo decided that one of the major legacies he would want toleave the nation by the end of his tenure was a solid and vibranteconomy. He further came to the conclusion that this as well as otheradmirable goals of his Administration could not possibly be achievedwithout, first of all, reforming and re-professionalising the Public Serviceand making it a more dependable and result-oriented organ for theformulation and implementation of development policies andprogrammes, in line with comparable international best practices.8.Since the huge cost of running the Public Sector had for longbeen of concern to Government, it was not a surprise that this areawould feature prominently in the reform efforts. Several previousAdministrations had endeavoured to redress this worrisome situation bytinkering with the subsisting remuneration arrangement. These efforts,however, succeeded only in some key Government Parastatals such asthe Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigerian National PetroleumCorporation where fringe benefits have been monetized for severalyears now. As for the core Civil Service, no Administration appearedPage 77able to muster the political will necessary to comprehensively effectchanges in the fundamentals, i.e., until the present Administration ofPresident Olusegun Obasanjo. It has to be acknowledged though thatpast efforts had succeeded in monetising, fully or partially, a few fringebenefits. These include Leave Grant, Entertainment Allowance, MealSubsidy, Domestic Servants Allowance and Duty Tour Allowance. Whatwe are now trying to do is go the full length and monetise all fringebenefits, all this against the backdrop of competing demands of aNation transiting to democracy.INTRODUCTION OF FULL MONETIZATION IN THE FEDERALCIVIL SERVICE OF NIGERIA.9.Through a Government Circular issued on 27thJune, 2003, underthe title "Monetization of Fringe Benefits in the Federal Public Service,"the Federal Government of Nigeria formally introduced its monetizationpolicy into the core Federal Civil Service. The opening paragraph of thecircular is direct enough and clearly states Government's intention thus"Over the years, the cost of governance has continued to escalate. Theburden of providing basic amenities for public officers has contributedsignificantly to the continuous increase in Government recurrentexpenditure, leaving very little for capital development. For morePage 88efficient allocation of resources and equity in the provision of amenitiesfor Public Officers, Government has approved the monetization of fringebenefits of Public Officers …….. the fringe benefits include: ResidentialAccommodation, Furniture, Utility, Domestic Servants, Motor Vehicles,Fuelling/Maintenance of Transport Facilities, Medical Treatment, LeaveGrant, Meal Subsidy and Entertainment, which were hitherto providedfor entitled officers at huge cost to Government."IMPLEMENTATION SO FAR10. Introduction of the Monetization Policy represents a major changein management in the public sector in Nigeria. Managing thisfundamental change has become a critical challenge to the system andcontinues to command significant attention from its topmost echelon.11. In terms of institutional arrangement, Government has set up twoImplementation Committees, one for the Civil Service and another forthe remaining arms of the Public Sector. While the former is under thechairmanship of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, thelatter is headed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.Each of the Committees draws membership from relevant arms ofGovernment and appropriate agencies. In adopting this approach,Government is forever mindful that a major reason past reforms failedPage 99was because Public Servants did not feel obliged to buy into theprogrammes. This Administration is, therefore, determined to payadequate attention to the issue of ownership and do everythingpossible to carry all stakeholders along in the implementation process.Expectedly, therefore, the Implementation Committee on Monetizationof Fringe Benefits in the Federal Civil Service has, as members,Permanent Secretaries from relevant Ministries. The Committee has,however, found it necessary to set up Sub-Committees on specificaspects of its mandate such as Housing, Vehicles and TechnicalMatters. Each of such Sub-Committees is chaired by a SeniorPermanent Secretary, with some other Permanent Secretaries andDirectors as members. While the Main Committee meets everyTuesday, the Sub-Committees meet as often as necessary. So far, ithas been possible to reach decisions on the following main componentsof the policy.(a) Residential Accommodation12. Before the advent of the Monetization Policy, only about 25% ofCivil Servants were living in government-owned quarters andgovernment-rented quarters while the remaining were being paid rentallowances for their accommodation. But under the monetizationPage 1010policy, every single Civil Servant in the Federal Civil Service is now toprovide for his own accommodation but will be paid, between 50% and75% of Annual Basic Salary as accommodation allowance, dependingon seniority level. Meanwhile the existing government quarters will besold to the highest bidders by public auction, with the presentoccupants (civil servants) being given the first option to purchase.Concurrently, Government has stopped bearing responsibility forfurnishing and repairs for these quarters. Instead, it has decided topay Senior Officers Furniture Allowance amounting to 200% of theirAnnual Basic Salary for every five-year period, while an enhanced UtilityAllowance at the rate of 15 - 20% of Annual Basic Salary has beenintroduced to enable officers pay for their utility bills. Facility Managershave also been appointed to maintain the houses preparatory to salewith current occupants expected to pay 10% of their annual basicsalary for this service.13. The Monetization Policy, especially on residential accommodation,has generated enormous apprehension among all classes of CivilServants. Prominent among the causes for this apprehension are thefollowing:Page 1111(i) Government has apparently made no contingency plans for thoseCivil Servants living in government-rented quarters. This meansmany of these Officers face the dim prospect of being thrown outon the street. If this should happen, morale will be adverselyaffected among the generality of Civil Servants.(ii) Given the generally high cost of property in our major cities,especially Abuja, the seat of government and the under-developed nature of the mortgage sector in the country, hardlywould any Civil Servant be able to buy these government-ownedhouses if and when they are disposed of at commercial rate.Chances are that many civil servants will be forced to relocate toless conducive environments, with attendant adverseconsequences on productivity, loyalty and morale.All these are, however, not to deny the latent benefits of Government'splan, the main one being encouragement of Civil Servants to own theirown houses and remove one of their cardinal fears of retirement. Theirserious reservation is about Government's desire to sell the houses athigh prices, which will be outside their reach, thereby forcing them tolook for sub-standard accommodations in under-developed locations.Page 1212(b) Vehicles14. Under the immediate past arrangement, Government providedchaffeur-driven vehicles for its top Officials, numerous utility vehiclesfor carrying out Government business and Staff Buses for conveyanceof Staff to and from offices. All these were fuelled and maintained atGovernment expense. In addition, Government provided loans atminimal interest rate of 3% for senior officers to buy cars. With thecoming on stream of the Monetization Policy, no official will haveattached to him a chaffeur-driven vehicle. Rather, any interested civilservant is free to acquire, fuel and maintain a vehicle. However, loansfor such acquisitions will no longer be granted by government butrather by financial institutions. In return, every civil servant will be paid25% of Annual Basic Salary as vehicle allowance. In addition, the mostsenior officers (Permanent Secretaries and Directors) will be paid anallowance to enable them hire their own drivers. The numbers of utilityand project vehicles for the various establishments have also beendrastically reduced. Staff Buses will, however, continue to be run, but atthe expense of users.Page 1313(i) Excess Vehicles15. In the meantime, Government has undertaken a comprehensivecensus of its vehicles and determined what number will be needed forthe efficient and effective conduct of its business. One result of thisexercise is the realization that it has on its hand a large pool of excessvehicles it must dispose of. Accordingly, it has decided to sell off theseexcess vehicles at 50% discount to the generality of Civil Servants andmembers of the public at pre-determined ratios. Serving Officers whomake the purchase have a choice of either paying cash or having thecost deducted from their salaries over a period of three years.(ii) Laid-Off Drivers16. A key problem that has arisen from carrying out the abovemeasures is the fate of existing Drivers on Government payroll,numbering about seven thousand, who are no longer needed.Government has decided to disengage this class of Drivers on the basisof stated criteria with the main goal of lessening the trauma of theirsudden disengagement. Their retirement package includes promptpayment of retirement benefits and the mounting of re-orientationprogrammes designed to expose the participants to various trades andjob opportunities. In this same direction of minimizing their pain andPage 1414better preparing them for post-service life, Government has decided toallocate 30% of the excess vehicles to be disposed of exclusively to thiscategory of Drivers to purchase.(c) Medical Allowance17. Traditionally, Civil Servants and their nuclear families have alwaysenjoyed medical treatment at Government expense, mainly atGovernment Hospitals and Staff Clinics. Whatever expenses they incurin the course of treatment are submitted to Government for refund.Over the years, putting in claims for these refunds has grown into anindustry and become a cesspool of corruption actively facilitated by theclaimants, the processing officials, the approving authorities as well asthose making the payments. All efforts to straighten out the mess havebeen frustrated by the benefiting syndicates, and Government has beenat its wit's end about what to do to effectively curb the menace. Nowwith the introduction of the Monetization Policy, Civil Servants will bepaid 10% of their Basic Salary as Medical Allowance.18. Payment of this allowance will free Government from investing somuch time and resources in operating the dubious medical refundenterprise. Officers, on their own part, will no longer have motivation tostart manufacturing fake medical bills to enable them make irregularPage 1515claims. One problem that will, however, test the system is what to doabout assisting Officers with genuine major medical problems that theycannot be expected to manage from their incomes because of the hugecosts involved.CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS19. The merits of monetization to Civil Servants include, inter alia,equity in provision of amenities as well as encouragement to ownpersonal houses. The new arrangement will also enable officers to planbetter for a more comfortable post - service life. Of immediaterelevance, is that their take-home pay will also increase significantly. ToGovernment, the policy also holds out a number of promises of import.There will be better efficiency in resource allocation as well asminimization of waste and reduction in mis-use and abuse of publicfacilities. It will reduce both capital and running/maintenance costs. Itshould also promote within the system the observance of maintenanceculture and discipline in the use of public utilities since individuals willnow have to pay for services hitherto paid for by Government. All inall, introduction of the Monetization Policy in the Federal Civil Serviceshould be a win-win situation for both the Civil Servant and theGovernment.Page 161620. There are, however, significant challenges that must beaddressed if the policy is to yield the benefits it promises. First andforemost is the issue of funding. Data and information coming in fromthe various arms of Government, while not final, conclusively suggestthat the cost of implementing the policy will be very substantial. At atime last year, Government estimated that it would need N8.5 billion(US$62.96 million) to pay the requisite allowances to the top-mostechelon alone. Means must be found to ease the financial burden onGovernment. Paying of some of these allowances, such as housing andfurniture, instalmentally is one of such means devised but even then,reality on the ground has already forced Government to move forwardthe effective date of implementation from 1stJuly, 2003 to 1stOctober,2003. Even with this shift, however, Government has not yet been ableto find the funds to pay Civil Servants all their entitlements. Predictably,Civil Servants are finding the situation very frustrating. A number ofother reasons account for this frustration.In the first place,expectation of higher take-home pay has been substantially raisedwithin the system and because information about the expected windfallis already within public domain, prices of items in the market have goneup. Experience has shown that once prices go up in Nigeria, they neverPage 1717come down. So, the Civil Servant is adversely affected from both theincome and the expenditure angles. Secondly, while Government hasbeen quick and effective in withdrawing the privileges and perquisitestraditionally enjoyed by Civil Servants, it has been rather tardy infinding the money to pay them the allowances meant to compensatethem for their loss.21. Another challenge confronting the system sequel to the adoptionof this policy is the widely-perceived belief among civil servants thattheir jobs are on the line. The on-going dis-engagement of excessdrivers is seen as a harbinger of what is in store for the other cadres.Under extant regulations, a Civil Servant who does not run foul of thelaws or rules should expect to retain his job until he attains the age ofsixty years or has put in thirty-five years of service. What is happeningto the Drivers however shows that job security in civil service is nolonger sacrosanct. Unless this fear is effectively addressed, it has thecapability of lowering morale in the service and undermining on-goingefforts to curb corruption in the system.CONCLUSION22. Full monetization of benefits in the Federal Civil Service ofNigeria represents a fundamental change being wrought in thePage 1818system. Like any other similar changes of immense impact, itentails significant challenges to all stakeholders. There are,however, a few pre-requisites that will strengthen the chancesfor successful implementation and sustainability of the reform.The first is the commitment of the political leadership at thetopmost level to its implementation. Another is the overallreceptiveness of Civil Servants to the idea, albeit with theexpectant reservations and apprehension. There is also thefact that the Service is in a position to learn from theexperiences of numerous organizations in the country, both inthe private and public sectors, that have fully monetized thefringe benefits of their staff for several years now. We believethis reform should be seen as a genuine partnership betweenthe leadership and its followership toward the development ofa viable and robust Service.It can be a safe bet that over the next couple of years, theMonetization Policy will be safely introduced in our CivilService.Thank youPage 191MALLAM IBRAHIM TALBAPermanent SecretaryFederal Ministry of EducationAbuja, Nigeria.February 2004 (MORE)

How does weak party discipline make it difficult for federal government to enact public policy?
Weak Party Discipline makes it difficult to enact public policy because of individuals' inability to follow the party policies. Traditionally party members set an agenda in a …caucus and agree on this policy, and this policy is enforced by the Party Whip ( the policy maintainer) however some outliers in a party can choose to disagree on there own free will. This causes cohesion on an issue to falter and a party grows less and less stable. If a majority is needed to pass a bill, and a party already needs to convince a few members of the opposition to join their side having weakly disciplined party members only increases their chance that the bill will end up in gridlock and possibly be killed.

A New Criterion for Concert Hall Loudness Evaluation
Loudness is one of the most essential parameters for assessing the acoustical quality of an auditorium. But owing to the lack of an authentic criterion, it remains unresolved how to evaluate the loudness in concert halls. In this paper LpF, the mean forte sound pressure level of tutti-sound is suggested as a criterion to describe the loudness in a hall. The prediction procedure of the LpF value distribution in a hall is demonstrated. Comparison between predicted and measured LpF levels is given. Tentative optimum and allowable LpF values for concert halls are also discussed.

In MSPA there have been an influx in the number of robots and robotic creations.
The first appearance of a robot in MSPA is in the form of Logorg, and later, Drillgorg, who were constructed from ladder parts, and later, a drill.
Problem SleuthEdit
Problem Sleuth was the first comic to present a true robot, Candy Mecha.
Candy MechaEdit
Created by one of Pickle Inspector's replicsimiles, the cockpit and legs of this machine are completely autonomous. Both pieces of the robot played a crucial role in the final battle, the cockpit sacrificing itself to increase DMK's Blood Sugar level, and the legs saving the precious Captain Snoop bust from certain destruction. The Pickle Inspector who created the Candy Mecha was sadly killed upon the cockpit's destruction, as he was unable to escape and had no actual control over the robot whatsoever.
There have been many robotic objects in Homestuck, in both human society and troll society. All robots seen in Homestuck thus far have had gray coloration, reddish-orange eyes, and a blue symbol on their chestplate, if present. The exceptions to this are the Maplehoofbots who display Arquiusprite's red symbol on their flank and Dirk's rapbots who have a different look entirely.
Kid's RobotsEdit
Robots made by the kids on Earth.
Jade's DreambotEdit
- Main article: Dreambot
Jade Harley has a dreambot that activates while she sleeps. It is used to collect important data and assist Jade.
Dirk's RobotsEdit
Robots made by Dirk Strider.
A fully roboticised twin of himself that Dirk made and sent to Jake, as the boy wanted a sparring partner. Comes with all the awesome. Ironically fulfilled half of Dave's idiotic thought by bleating like a goat in order to distract (then decapitate) an extremely familiar sea-goat on Jake's island. Apparently puts Jake in a lot of violent encounters quite frequently. Contains the uranium that Jake needs to send a certain very important delivery. He recently beat the crap out of Jake à la clog-dancing on his face, skipping him like a rock across the ocean (saving him before he sank only to inflict other tortures), et cetera. According to Jake, the fight ended with Brobot "throwing a weird tantrum and ripping his nuclear heart out in front of [Jake]".
According to Jake, Brobot is "nigh impossible to spar with" save for when his difficulty setting is set to Novice; however, Jake admits that under these conditions "the whole proceeding seems to become a bit tender for [his] liking." It does not appear to have a kill mode, like most of Dirk's robots, though if it did, it would probably never have been activated, as it would have easily killed Jake.
Squarewave and SawtoothEdit
- Main articles: Squarewave and Sawtooth
Troll RobotsEdit
Robots and robotic limbs made by the trolls on Alternia and Beforus.
Equius' stash of robotsEdit
Equius Zahhak was a builder of robots. He had a large stash of robots that he beat the shit out of in cage matches. When the Land of Caves and Silence was destroyed by Jack Noir in his rampage through the trolls' session, Equius' hive (and presumably all the robots inside) were destroyed.
Tavros' legsEdit
Tavros lost the use of his legs before Homestuck introduces him. He used a variety of transportation methods before Equius and Kanaya cut his legs off and replaced them with robotic ones. Tavros is later impaled through the chest and decapitated. Gamzee held on to Tavros' original legs, torso and robotic legs, and head, then prototyped Jane's kernelsprite with Vriska's body later to create Tavrisprite. Tavros' legs were lost at that point (sprites have a ghostly tail instead of legs), so the sprite's self-destruction later was redundant in eliminating Tavros' legs.
Vriska's armEdit
Vriska lost her left arm, when Doc Scratch detonated her stolen Magic Cue Ball. Equius built her an arm that he can control remotely. He has used it to hit her when she annoyed him by attempting to get inside his mind. It was lost in the explosion that destroyed Vriska's Quest Cocoon and her main body.
Aradia's SoulbotEdit
Aradia died before Homestuck introduced her and she had existed as a spirit. Equius created her a robot to inhabit, and she used it after becoming a kernelsprite. He fueled it using his and his lusus' blue blood. He also programmed it to have romantic feelings for him via a chip in her heart, which she promptly ripped out after discovery. It later exploded when Aradia ascended to the god tiers.
Rufioh's horse bodyEdit
Rufioh temporarily used a robotic horse body built by Horuss, with the head being the only remaining part of his former body. He later was revived into a normal functional body again.
Bunny RobotsEdit
Robots made within the shell of a certain stuffed rabbit.
Liv TylerEdit
- Main article: Liv Tyler/Terry Kiser
The final incarnation of the plush bunny has several robotic body parts. Co-built by Jake and Jade.
Lil' SebEdit
- Main article: Huggy Bear/Lil Sebastian
Previously known as Huggy Bear, before coming into the ownership of Jane. A fully robotic bunny created by Dirk Strider. Contains the original Liv Tyler bunny, which appears to have been stolen from post-scratch Dave, a process which likely involved some form of shenanigans. Appears to have a reputation for mischief. Seemingly died when he fell into the ocean, but was later found alive, albeit heavily rusted, by Gamzee and Caliborn on Earth far into the future. He could be possibly named for the mini horse Li'l Sebastion from Parks & Recreation.
Other Homestuck RobotsEdit
Hell yes. That's really all there is to say on the matter. Notably, destroyed by Lrd English in A6I2.
A herd of robotic Maplehoofs showed up when Arquiusprite rode.
Caliborn's legEdit
Caliborn chewed off his own leg and replaced it with a leg he built with Dirk's help.

Enjoy blazing fast Wi-Fi Direct file transfers with SuperBeam
SuperBeam is an application that allows you to transfer one or several files onto another device at Wi-Fi data speeds. Think rates in the tens of megabits - enough to copy a full-length movie over the air in a matter of minutes. And the software is not very complicated to use. Pairing two devices can be done via NFC, which is really convenient, or by scanning a QR code. Then you just pick the stuff you need transferred and, tada! Alternatively, a web based interface can be used to share stuff with devices that don't have SuperBeam installed on them.
SuperBeam can be thought of as a much faster alternative to Android's built-in Android Beam feature. It is a worthy replacement for Samsung's S Beam as well, built to work with any Wi-Fi Direct-compatible Android device, not just Samsung phones.
SuperBeam is free to download and use on a device running Android 2.3.3 and above. You can get a handful of extras, however, with the app's paid version, including the options to change the default save directory, to send entire folders, and to transfer files from or to a PC.

Oh ok. So basically through the Wi-Fi connection on one phone/device, to the Wi-Fi connection of another phone/device right?

yes,been using it a few months now and it's amazing.super fast. love it

text: Coburn OK's OPM Director After Staffers Get Obamacare Waiver Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 8 Aug 2013 post a comment On Wednesday, immediately after the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed ruling that allowed the federal government to subsidize the health insurance premiums of Congressional staffers--even though that may not be allowed under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)--Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) released the hold he had placed on President Barack Obama's nominee to head the agency. Last week, Coburn blocked the nomination of Katherine Archuleta--who was the national political director for Obama's 2012 campaign--after a Senate committee approved her nomination "in an attempt to force OPM to explain its position" on the Obamacare subsidies. In a proposed ruling that will be published in the Federal Register on Thursday, OPM deemed that the federal government could still subsidize 75% of the cost of the insurance premiums of plans Congressional aides must now purchase on government-run exchanges. Lawmakers and aides will not be eligible for tax credits to offset the premiums. Right after the announcement, Coburn dropped his his hold on the nomination Under Obamacare, lawmakers and staff "must purchase plans on the exchanges for coverage," but the law did not allow for the federal government to subsidize the new insurance plans, as lawmakers wanted Congressmen and their aides to play by the same rules as their constituents. Lawmakers. though, feared aides would leave Congress because individuals and families would be forced to pay $5,500 and $11,000 more, respectively, for unsubsidized insurance on the government exchanges. Last week, Congress and President Barack Obama indicated they had solved the problem and a ruling would be forthcoming. It is still not clear whether the federal government can subsidize the insurance premiums of lawmakers and aides without passing a legislative fix. Congress is reluctant to formally vote themselves a special favor because they do not want to risk further angering constituents who believe Washington politicians are becoming more removed from the lives of everyday Americans. With OPM's ruling on the matter, the path has now been cleared for Archuleta to become its new head. According to the Federal Times, the Senate is unlikely to take up Archuleta's nomination "until September at the earliest," though, since Congress is on recess.

I was hurt at work and had to have spinal surgery. I had 2 discs replaced. Two weeks after surgery I started hurting and had the feeling something was wrong. I had what felt like cords running down my neck and a bulge started running down my neck. I called the doctors office several times about it finally they sent me to an xray. They never even looked at me. They called me and said the discs were fine and that I still had a few weeks of healing before they wanted to see me. Since then they sent me for a mylogram. when I asked them if they could tell what was wrong they stated they did it to cover their end. The bulge is huge now 7 months later and shows up in pics and it hurts like hell it is now all through my right side. I can not function and do they things I used to do.
Can you please clarify your question?
You would need to have a medical malpractice lawyer order the medical records and have a physician expert review. Search Avvo for a medical malpractice lawyer in your city to discuss.
You should also consult a workers compensation lawyer even if you are now being paid benefits. Whether you have a malpractice claim depends upon whether you have suffered a serious injury as a result of delay in diagnosis and treatment. Has anyone recommended treatment? You need to focus on your health. Get a second opinion. You may require surgery.
Medical malpractice cases arising from spinal surgery are particularly difficult to win for many reasons. One of them is that a certain percentage of back surgeries fail, even when performed flawlessly. That said, your outcome does not sound like a garden variety failed back surgery. Something more seems to be wrong and you need a second medical opinion. Don't ask the second opinion doctor if there was malpractice, that is liable to scare him away. Just get a diagnosis and a medical plan. Then see a medical malpractice lawyer. There are several good ones in your area and they offer free consultation. Don't bother trying to get our own records before you see a lawyer. If the lawyer is interested in the case, he or she will do that.

The Long Shot Lyrics - 1-800-Zombie
c'mon kids you know you want to party
just be sure to not bring bacardi
we are the kids who are posi here
so remember to bring some root beer
we are the kids who control your heart
our controllers are doing their part
with a slight push of a button
you know you're booty will be bumpin
get crunk!
my room always welcomes the downs and jesse jackson
and at the end of the night, everyone's getting action
meet the brian peppers of my high school
i know this girl that thinks old men are really cool
megadeth operates the in 817
give us a call, hit us up
18z gettin' crunk!

The two bidders in the
hotly-contested battle for the KC-X contract to replace the US Air
Force's aging KC-135 tanker fleet, also want a piece of maintaining
the service's newer KC-10 aircraft.
Representatives with Northrop Grumman and Boeing confirmed
Thursday their companies will compete for a nine-year deal to
provide logistical and maintenance for the KC-10 fleet.
The deal could be worth up to $3.8 billion, reports The
Associated Press. According to Northrop Grumman spokesman Dave Apt,
the contract would cover maintenance and repair of the KC-10
refueling system, as well as engine and aircraft upgrades on the
59-plane fleet.
In addition to US Air Force aircraft, the deal also includes the
same services for two KC-10 planes in service with the Royal
Netherlands Air Force.
ANN has reported extensively on the competition between Boeing and Northrop to
supply the Air Force's newest tanker aircraft. Dubbed
KC-X, the companies are fielding variants of Boeing and Airbus
commercial airliners for that $40 billion deal to replace 179
KC-135 Stratotankers.
The Air Force could decide between Boeing's KC-767 and
Northrop's Airbus-derived KC-30 as soon as February 2008. A
decision on the KC-10 logistics bid is expected in the summer.

USASpending.gov was supposed to be the go-to place for all federal spending. But after a couple of years of operation, it's only halfway there.

Electroacoustic-Analogous Circuit Models for Filled Enclosures
The thermodynamic and mechanical effects of filling in a closed-box loudspeaker enclosure are studied. It is shown that the acoustical-analogous circuit that models the increase in compliance due to the thermodynamic effects is a capacitor in parallel with a series resistor and capacitor, while the acoustical-analogous circuit that models the mechanical parameters of the filling material consists of an inductor in series with the parallel combination of a resistor and a series inductor, resistor, and capacitor.
