The Indira Gandhi National Open University has come up with an ambitious programme called community colleges. A look at the salient features of the programme.
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is spreading the message of institutions which are run 'by the community', 'for the community' and 'of the community' through its ambitious community colleges programme.
The objective of this programme is to develop an alternative system of education that aims to empower individuals through appropriate skill development leading to gainful employment in collaboration with the industry and the community.
They offer the advantage of tailor-made programmes to local needs and State-based requirements by using approaches that will be most acceptable to workers in the given community.
Elaborating on the nuances of the programme, Latha Pillai, Pro-Vice Chancellor of IGNOU, who is spearheading the nationwide project, told The Hindu-EducationPlus that the community colleges will provide an educated and skilled workforce that improves the quality of life for individual students, communities, and the nation.
About 110 community colleges have been identified across the nation in the first phase of the programme. More than 65 have become operational, Dr. Pillai said. "It encourages students who may want to attend a three-year degree but are not academically, personally or economically ready to begin study in the formal system. In a community college, students can choose to work towards an associate degree (two-year) in hundreds of academic and technical fields, which will enable them to transfer a regular college or university for completion of a degree," she said.
Explaining that many school dropouts, late entrants into higher education and those in the workforce, who find entry into the formal system to be rigid, could avail of the programmes of community colleges and equip themselves for a degree, Dr. Pillai said that community colleges will offer students choices to pursue continuing education in whatever format that makes meaning to them (face-to-face, on-line, full-time, or part-time).
"While regular colleges require full-time attendance, community colleges will accommodate students who pursue their studies part-time. Community colleges may provide a faster option for a student who wants a career-oriented qualification and may not require a three-year degree. For example, a student may take a one-year diploma of 32 credits as a pharmacy technician or a 16-credit certificate as an insurance agent from the curricular content available with the college and may be supplemented by IGNOU's large repository of courses," she said.
In a community college, students can choose to work towards an Associate Degree (two-year) in hundreds of academic and technical fields that will enable them to transfer themselves to a regular college or university for a completion of degree.
Candidates who have completed 10+2 or its equivalent are eligible to enrol for the associate degree programme.
Students who have completed the Bachelor's Preparatory Programme of IGNOU could also enrol for the programme. Eligibility for certificate programmes varies from 8th pass and above.
Institutions registered with IGNOU to offer certificate, diploma and two-year post secondary education leading to an associate degree will be referred to as IGNOU-Community Colleges. They will offer a range of programmes at an affordable cost to students of all ages.
A flexible modular pattern of course delivery will be followed in community colleges. The nature of the programmes and their pattern will depend upon the requirements of the local community, which the college serves.
Stating that community college could admit around 40 students for each programme depending on the physical and human infrastructure available, Dr. Pillai said that candidates may be short-listed on the basis of their personal profiles. Certificate programmes should be of six-month duration and equivalent to 16 credits. A diploma programme is of one year duration with 32 credits.
Degree programme
The associate degree programme may comprise foundation courses in the first semester and applied courses in the chosen programme sector during the second semester.
The foundation courses may comprise life and livelihood skills relating to functional English, personality development, computer literacy and communication skills. In the second year, the emphasis may be on electives and applied course. There must be a compulsory component of internship andproject work ranging between 14 to 16 credits in the fourth semester.
For students who complete an associate degree and wish to register for the third year in IGNOU, a credit transfer policy will be worked out between the community college and the university. Community colleges will be registered with IGNOU and the associate degree will be conferred by the university.
It will be governed by a community college board/board of trustees comprising of the founders/management of the college, representative of IGNOU, local government/district, industry/community representatives. The college will also have an academic committee and examinations committee.
The academic committee will oversee the academic planning and management of the college. It will develop the curricular framework and contents for various programmes. Teachers at the community college will be responsible for delivering the programme content.
The examination committee will be responsible for the smooth conduct of the internal assessment, mid-term examination and term-end examination. The committee will consist of the Principal of the college, two teachers of the college from the programme sector, one external academic to be nominated by the College Board, a representative of the industry/community and a nominee of IGNOU.
Dr. Pillai said that IGNOU will help in the capacity development of its community colleges by making available its large repository of courses and programmes through a content sharing agreement. The university will also provide skill-upgradation and pedagogy related training. Examinations will be on a semester pattern and conducted in June and December. As the programme evolves, IGNOU will also provide for on-demand examinations. The university will devise a monitoring mechanism for quality assurance of community colleges.
Regional consortiums/networks of community colleges will be formed to identify and disseminate best practices.
For each programme sector, a national level curriculum review committee will be constituted by IGNOU. An accreditation procedure in line with community colleges across the world will be evolved in due course.
Describing that community colleges can offer their services to industry in a big way, Ms. Pillai said that the institutions could offer contracted services for specific occupational purposes.
Sixty per cent of the programme evaluation will be done by the community college and the remaining 40 per cent by IGNOU.
The examination committee will obtain a panel of examiners for question paper setting and evaluation.
The examination board will consist of at least one external member appointed by IGNOU.

We have been married 9 yrs. My husband told me not to work. His pro-folio is over one million. He is 61 and has moved his money from 401k to IRA. I discovered that he is meeting with his advisor to cash out the money and inquiring what to do with the cash. What should I do. We live in Texas
You need to hire an attorney to discuss your rights. During the process of divorce, you can request what's called "discovery" and specifically ask for these records. He will be required to turn over the documents. With that amount of money at stake, I would speak to an attorney sooner rather than later.
I agree with counsel. Contact an experienced divorce attorney in your area as soon as possible. Good luck.

Me [26 M] and my girlfriend [24 F] of 3 months had a disagreement about her choice of clothing around my male roommate. Am I being sexist? (self.relationships)
62 ups - 29 downs = 33 votes
My girlfriend, a hyper-intelligent and vocal feminist, and me got into a spat this morning. It began after we woke up and made our way into the living room of my apartment. She was wearing her boy short panties and, after I told her they made her ass look nice, I reluctantly told her that it made uncomfortable for her to be wearing so little in the potential presence of my roommate.
She complains that I was expecting her to compromise her comfort for my sake. I anticipated this and mostly just said I'm sorry, I really didn't think her wearing something else was such a concession to make. It didn't seem like she would be any less comfortable wearing a pair of my shorts or sweats.
Anyway, my roommate comes downstairs (right on cue) in his boxers. She points to him and incredulously asks if I'm going to tell him to put on pants. I can already sense the futility of this argument, but she demands an answer.
I tell her that 1) His boxers aren't form-fitting, aside from seeing some leg, there's still plenty left to the imagination. 2) He isn't my partner. Is it really that wrong to be covetous of your partner and want them to be more clothed in front of a roommate in that situation?
She then objected to the whole situation as an example of gender inequality. Maybe she's right. I dunno. Thoughts?
tl;dr: My girlfriend felt comfortable wearing her underwear around my roommate, but I didn't.

Arcane Brilliance: Arcanapalooza {WoW}
Jan 25th 2009 10:13AM My wife plays an arcane mage and has 0 mana problems. Her spell damage is at about 2k, and her mana regen when raid buffed is almost a whopping 1k mp5. Since arcane is not "contingent" on crit, it's far more valuable to use your mage armor (glyphed) and pump out a solid stream of hard hitting spells.
She never runs out of mana, and in most fights only uses her gems for the spell power buff from the 2 piece T7. She has hardly needed to evocate, and still easily tops the damage done for the night. She could probably ALMOST spam AB and not run out of mana, lol.
Mage armor > molten armor, imo.

And yet those issues won't go away with an AI driving your car. IN fact, it may be yet one more thing that has to be added to the regular maintenance list that people like to ignore.
Unlike the rest of WW2 where no civilians died?
You also realize that both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were part of the war machine in Japan, right? Hate to say it but bombing cities was a common tactic by all sides back then. War has never been fair. If we ever found ourselves in a situation similar to WW2, I dare say it would happen again, too, by every side.
War... war never changes.
Glad you weren't making the decision back when floppy disks were 1.44M and my Hard Drive was 250M...
Without knowing the specifics, this could be a great form of backup, which judging by the name, is exactly what this is for.
It appears I was wrong, I did further digging and it seems to support what your saying. Which is odd because I swear I've read first hand accounts where there is a light. Maybe there's different versions?
Regardless a light should be installed if there isn't one. Just crazy if there isn't.
It already does...
Generally I never give my CC over the phone. The only example I can think of where you would is ordering in food, and they have hand held debit/credit card machines - I enter the PIN on that when they get to my door. Safer then speaking it through a phone line.
I dunno, for me if the stock market involved space battles I'd be a lot more interested.
Yup, but when I tried out OwnCloud I had some issues with file corruption. When I investigated a few months back it was a bit of a known thing, and a lot of comments were make sure your making backups, it's not fully ready yet, etc. Shame as it was really what I wanted. Might be better now.
I think it's great - 3d Printers, hands on "toys" for kids that help them learn electronics, computers to learn programming, 3d modeling, and other skills. Its really bringing people back into the libraries.
Not associated other then I live in the city - Haven't step foot in a library in over a decade, but with their Makerspace (3d printers, book printer, kid friendly toys to learn how circuits work, music making devices, etc), ebooks, etc I've become pretty impressed. Very forward thinking and friendly staff.

Nothing like listening to the computer ask "did you mean to do that?" in Alpiner... just rediscovered http://www.harmlesslion.com/cgi-bin/showprog.cgi?search=Classic99 - ahh good times!
Commenting because holy crap someone else that played that epic game. I still remember eating dinner while waiting for the game to load. Whole family played a character each. So many good memories...
Just curious - assuming the car can determine who is a traffic cop - as you seem to imply by your response to the GP - how do you stop a teenager on the side of the road from holding his hand out like a traffic cop - something any driver would ignore, but how would the car? Are we installing some wireless signal in all cop uniforms? Can that be hacked? What if a cop doesn't have his special uniform on does the car just ignore him? Do we also replace all traffic cops with robots?
I'm tired of this whole "cars will be safer once machines drive because they never make mistakes" argument that seems to be common here. For many months a year where I drive the road is covered by snow and ice, and you basically have to "best guess" where the lanes are. How will cars handle that? Whats the safety order - do we dodge to avoid the kid, but force ourselves into an oncoming semi, or does the car weigh hitting the kid as an acceptable loss?
Maybe someones solved all of this and has brought the cost down so everyone can afford one - but I've seen minimal evidence so far. Just that R"obot Cars are the future and I should embrace them and stop asking questions..."
I don't play as hard-core as most, and at most a couple hours every other day. But I find there's enough content to do something whenever I'm on, and with the dungeon finder it helps finding someone to do whatever your looking for.
But whatever game you play of this type it comes down to the community. Having a core group for friends to play with can turn any game into fun.
Byte your tongue.

This is my absolute favorite scent. In the world. It is so sexy!! It is definitely strong on immediate spray, but within an hour, it dials back to be a perfect warm, cozy perfume. I spray it immediately after my morning shower, so by the time I'm at work (2 hours later), it smells just right!
My children all love the smell on me (I love this - my mom has a special smell too that I just adore and brings up good memories every time I smell her ... hope that's what this perfume is for my kids).
It is jasmine absolute, so a muskier deeper fragrance than jasmine gardenis (spelling?). It's not light and floral, but heady and dark. It wears so well, really all day long without fading. I can't say enough amazing things about this perfume honestly.
I am not a perfume aficionado, so I don't know how to describe this perfume in the "right" way :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I wanted to love this, a no-holds-barred unabashedly jasmine jasmine, but alas I can't do it. Each time I've sampled this I've sprayed myself once in the shop and then gone for a walk. It's just too over-the-top indolic to be fit for public consumption. The last sampling session, I brought my husband with me, and he was literally repelled by me for the next hour or so. Like literally pushing me away and embarrassed that I was in public reeking of Lust. I wear a lot of weird scents but none has provoked such a strong reaction. If you love this scent (and I enjoy a little jasmine but waaaay dialled down from this) then do the public a favour and bask in its glory at home!!
I really love the solid version of Lush's "Lust" perfume. The main notes are jasmine, ylang ylang, rose, vanilla and sandalwood. I am not usually one for floral perfumes, but I rubbed this on my wrists and found that the effect with my chemistry is that it is lightly sweet, warm and complex. I purchased it a couple of days ago and find that just a dab on my wrists well blended and rubbed into my neck is perfection. Just enough to smell and feel sexy and confident without having people be able to smell me from a mile away. The price is $10.95 which I feel is very reasonable - particularly in comparison with other perfumes. I'm a little conflicted about the packaging. It looks cute and travels well. I also find it very useable. The salesperson at my local Lush showed me what to do so that I don't accidently "push up" too much product. I would definitely prefer a twist up version of the packaging though. Overall 4/5.
More reviews by amiablealligator
Two words best describes this: STRONG and FLORAL
I adore this perfume. It is all heavy, luscious floral notes with no chemical afterburn. It's like dipping your head into a blooming Jasmine shrubbery with secondary notes of rose, vanilla and sandlewood. This stuff packs a hell of a punch, so one spray rubbed behind the ears and on the wrist is all you need. The smell is almost overpowering when applied but it mellows out nicely within the hour and lasts throughout the day (It interacts with my body chemistry well but this may not be the case with someone else, so you may want to buy the tiny bottle before commiting to the larger one).
I hate most perfumes, especially strong ones because I get an allergic reaction but I am crazy about this one and it doesn't give me the sniffles!
I know that it's not cheap, but most perfumes are expensive anyway so you might as well splurge on a great one. The packaging is nothing special but when it comes to perfume it can come in a 99 cent spray bottle for all I care.
I have been in love with Lush's Happy Happy Joy Joy conditioner, and was SOOOO happy to find this perfume, because it smells almost identical on me!
I am not crazy about the scent on initial application, since it has a very strong plastic-y smell to me. But that wears off within a minute or so. Longevity on me is very good, as I can smell it the next morning as i wake up :-)
Packaging wise, I am not crazy about it, but given how affordable it is, I'll take take the generic, no-frills packaging.
If you like Happy Happy Joy Joy, or a sophisticated take on Gardenia, give this one a sniff.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
HOLY GRAIL this makes me feel confident and gorgeous. it's sexy...and wow, just perfect. i love jasmine smells, and this is outrageously jasminey. everyone who i am around when wearing it says it smells sexy, which makes me feel even more wonderful. i love it, it makes me think of a femme fatal in a tight floor length burgundy dress who has diamond jewels... this literally makes me feel like i'm in a film noir. people on here are saying it's tacky and pornstar like....NO, it is sophisticated. what sort of porn star would wear something so grown up and sensual?
give it a go!
I have very mixed feeling about this Perfume!
I absolutely adore the scent in itself. The pure heavy natural jasmine wrapped in other fine essential oils. I think it beats Chanel no 5 and many others!!
But I can't stand the name "Lust", the red colour that have stained my clothes, wall and now some drops on my Mapple bathroom floor, because I tried to spray the perfume into another prettie glass bottle because I don't like the black painted bottle either and the black paint have started to peel off.
I think it is the name and the red scilly colour that makes.the scent "cheap"!
Give it a new name ...PLEASE. A new simple beautiful bottle and make the colour more amber like and Lush would make a masterpiece in my opinion!
OR make it in a refill bottle so I can pour it over in amother bottle, so I don't have to hide it in my bathroom closet, afraid someone might get the idea that I bought it in a porn shop :$
....Just do something, because the scent in itself is beautiful.
Umm I really adore the smell but :( it doesn't last.. I put it on and it's pretty strong but it vanishes after maximum an hour :( I really love the smell but I have to keep putting it on all day. And I actually love the packaging hahah. Pretty expensive for Sth tht won't last long.
This is a review for the solid version of Lust. I smelled this in store ages ago, liked it but didn't buy it. I ordered it recently without remembering what it smelt like just remembering that whatever it was I liked it. I came on here & read the reviews & was terrified at people harping on about how loud & in your face this scent was. Someone said they smelled like a porn star! I was suddenly wishing I ordered vanillary instead :'). anyways it arrived today & whilst it is definitely a richer, deeper, more exotic & vampy scent than I normally wear I really like it & it's not as pungent as I was expecting. In the tube yes! by god it's strong! But on my skin it mellows out & it fades softly whilst staying true to its original scent. Now I know scent smells different on everyone so I'd definitely advise a tester in store before you commit & I wouldn't advise buying this blind online. I'm going to reiterate a lot of reviews here & say that a twist up too would be far better than a push up. Other than that I'm happy. But I can see how this is a love it or hate it scent! I have yet to wear it out so will update with any reactions I get :')

Honestly, I feel so ambivalent about LUSH Lust that I probably shouldn't even write a review. I tried it when I was in London and just couldn't stop walking around sniffing my pulse. It's a scent unlike any I usually wear and it just kept growing on me until I purchased it. A year later I'm still using it, although very sparingly and not very often. If I put on too much, I get a headache and feel like I smell like an old lady stripper LOL! But just a touch is ok. No one has ever complimented me on this scent nor have they run screaming from me. Think I might like the scent better as a soap or bath gel. I enjoyed reading the reviews of this fragrance and think the mixed (often funny) reviews pretty much sum up how I feel about Lust.

Hello there fellow summoners. I've recently been permanently banned after playing this game for about 2 years, and having almost 4000 games played across my different accounts. I know what you're thinking "You were warned multiple times, it's your fault it got this far" I completely agree with you sir. I should have learned my lesson after the first few bans, sadly I did not. However, this was in part due to the fact that I had no idea what a report card was or how to see my tribunal case til after my third ban (yes I checked my email after every ban and couldn't find anything). After every ban I told myself I'd try and tone it done, try and not take the game as seriously, I even told myself I'd just stop typing in the chat all together. Unfortunately I'm a very competitive gamer, and when I see people playing poorly or making mistakes, I try and help them improve. You can see in all of my reports I start every game giving advice and trying to help my team. Sometimes doing this causes my teammates to get mad at me and start insulting me, or sometimes I get upset at my team not being able to comprehend stuff like "group up please" after I tell them to 5 times. I guess my problem is I'm not someone who takes unjustified insults laying down. When I'm trying to help my team win, and get swore at for it, I get really upset. After my 3rd ban I started just ignoring these people and reporting them, but I still got upset from time to time and sunk to their level of name calling. Typically my reports just consist of 1 person on my team who couldn't take advice or critique without getting mad, and reports me for it. I almost never instigate a problem in my games, and am always the first one to try and help my team out. I try to be the shot caller when my team is performing poorly, and sometimes I get a little heated when they aren't performing properly even after giving word for word instructions. As you can see from my final reform card for my perma ban, I have but a single report in each game.... http://na.leagueoflegends.com/tribunal/en/case/6135069/ -First report I got feed up trying to help my team, and with top and jungle flaming bot I got feed up and threw out an unneeded comment. -What did I even do second game? Just gave my team advice all game...I got a little heated since it was a hard game but never insulted a single person or anything. -Third game my team was raging and I tried to calm them down and get them to work together all game. . -Fourth game, again, just giving advice all game since my team had no idea how to play. After 40 minutes of getting caught and throwing, I called them "morons" two times, because we ended up losing. -Fifth game I was getting really fed up with my jungler. I was winning my lane mid handedly, but all other lanes were losing because it was tf mid..I was pleading with my jungler to just gank the tf cause each time he ganked another lane tf just counter ganked and got kills, putting that lane behind and tf back in the game. Then after all of that, I get called a ***** and a nerd by someone on my team so I call him names back. I can clearly see why I was reported in some of these, but others I just have no idea. And looking through my past reform cards, they look pretty similar to this. I've learned from my mistakes after all these bans, I wish I had access to my reform cards sooner so I could see what I needed to improve on before I got permanently banned. I'm truly sorry to all of the members of my teams for ruining their experiences, when my intention each game is to simply do my best to get my team a win. I've really learned from my mistakes, and now I just simply play league without using the chat at all, and just pinging things every now and then. I can't believe I was ever someone who got so stressed over this game that I would talk down on my team when usually most of them didn't deserve it. I can honesty see such a huge change in the game for myself without typing so much, and just playing the game just to play and have fun. I love this game, I love Riot, and I truly have changed my attitude toward the game. I've spent hundreds of dollars on my main account to support Riot and 2 years worth of content. I would really appreciate one more chance with my main account. I can grantee that I won't ever be seen in tribunal again or Riot can feel free to ban every account I own. If I ever sink so low to play like I use to, I wouldn't want to be a part of this community I love so much anymore. Thanks for taking the time to read this out, and please be as harsh as possible, I don't really deserve any less.
Well they won't give your account back. That being said, you take personal responsibility for your actions. Your future is bright. I wish you luck on your new account. Be as competitive as you want, just remember that being a jerk to people doesn't make them better. Just look for ways you can improve as that will give you better statistical results than anything.

Doubt it will get reverted..... But i noticed this a lot, you start to advise, it starts sounding pretty good until you end with "you dumbass". You got banned like everyone else because you think ending everything you say with an insult is advice. News flash, it's not advice, it's an insult. You chose to insult in so many games to be awarded a perma. You chose not to seek advise on how to change. You chose not to fully reform. It's a silly video game, trust me, it's easy to not care so much. Can it get frustrating, most certainly yes, should you really care, in the grand scheme of things, no. Greeting the perma lifted won't happen, you can try a new acct and see how far you can go with it.....your only option.
Thanks for the advice guys. I agree 100% with what you said. At the very least I'd like to know if there is some way I can get back some of the content I spent hundreds of dollars and almost 2 years of my life saving up..
dignitas Rampant
The only way you could is to send Support a remorseful and honest post. Be tactful and polite. Don't insult them or they're going to just chuck it into the bin. Realize going in that you will probably have no chance at recovering your account, and any change on their part will be almost a gift to you. Finally, be humble, show that you are willing to reform, but don't be a sycophant
First let me say I'm always glad when someone looks to improve themselves. That being said there is very little about what you have to say that makes me think you honestly are changing or even looking to change. Reports only gather for so many months (3 i believe) and if you improve your behavior they will not negatively effect you; you did not improve. This is a permanent ban... which means a person at riot went over all the info that regular people do not have and considers you to be one of the worse of the worse. You do not try to help others improve you harass and badger them into doing what you want or else you become mean. You agree you should have learned your lesson and you agree you were wrong, so you do not deserve to have your account returned to you. If you were not receiving emails or other info about your previous bans and you still did not contact support either you did not think it was important enough to do something about or you didnt put credence to their future actions, both your own fault. You did not support riot with your hundreds of dollars, you paid for things you wanted, to enjoy your time spent playing a game. During that time you were a detriment to the community at large. TL/DR: Little chance you are contrite, I hope you learned from this experience and become a pillar of the community, but you do not deserve anything back.

If you're searching for a great piece of exercise equipment, just ask the nearest grade-schooler. Kids jumping rope on playgrounds and at parks are getting a great workout while having fun.
A jump rope is simple and rugged. You can work out with it at the gym or in your living room (if your ceiling is high enough). It's easily portable and fits into your purse or even your pocket. Better still, you can pick one up for less than $15 at a department or sporting goods store.
While you're whirling a jump rope overhead and underfoot, you're also achieving these good-health goals:
Burning calories. A 150-pound person can burn 750 calories an hour jumping rope. That's more than you'd burn while spending the same amount of time playing singles tennis, walking, or riding your bike at 12 mph.
Strengthening bones. The best types of exercise for improving bone health are those that require you to carry your weight, such as jogging and climbing stairs. Jumping rope is also a weight-bearing exercise. If you already have osteoporosis, though, jumping rope isn't recommended because the impact can affect your joints.
Improving balance. As you practice staying on your feet while jumping, you may enhance your balance and reduce your future risk for falls and other injuries.
If you haven't picked up a jump rope in years, or perhaps decades, here are a few ideas for getting the most benefit out of the activity:
Use the right rope. A jump rope should be just long enough so that if you stand with one foot in the center of the rope, the handles come up to your chest. Choose a rope with lightweight foam handles instead of weighted handles.
Get the right grip. Grasp the handles near the rope end, one in each hand. Hold them lightly; squeezing tightly can interfere with blood flow to your fingers. Turn the rope by gently pivoting your wrists.
Keep good form. Be sure to keep your elbows near your body and your shoulders relaxed. Your back should stay straight, while your knees remain slightly bent. Control the rope so that it passes smoothly over your head. As the rope nears your feet, hop just high enough for the rope to pass beneath you.
Learn a variety of steps. Explore the many styles of jumps to keep this exercise fun and interesting. For example, try these moves:
Stand with your left foot forward. Leap over the rope first with your left foot, then your right, landing with your left foot about a foot in front of your right. Repeat for a few minutes, then switch to leaping with your right foot first.
Start with your feet side-to-side and near each other. Jump over the rope and land with most of your weight on your left foot, lightly touching the toe of your right shoe to the floor behind your left foot. On the next jump, switch feet, and then keep alternating.
Start with your feet side-to-side and begin passing over the rope in a stepping motion. Each time you step over the rope, take turns landing on one foot, then the other so that you're essentially jogging in place.
If you're looking for an inexpensive, heart pounding workout that you can do rain or shine, grab some supportive sneakers and a jump rope and get started.

H&M Spring Collection 2013
H&M's Spring Is a Lesson in Looking Amazing (Minimal Effort Required)
Statement pieces plus basics give way to one pretty flawless (and pretty easy) outfit formula. That's what you'll learn in H&M's latest Spring styling lookbook, where t-shirts, staple cotton maxi skirts, and denim cutoffs are reinvented with embellished tops, textured jackets, and printed miniskirts. It's the "it doesn't take much" approach to elevated dressing that's employed here — just a hint of bohemian print on a sweatshirt or a touch of lace on a skirt has a major effect on how the whole outfit adds up (even when the other half of that look is just a pair of your favorite well-worn Summer shorts). And if you're looking for serious outfit perks that come in the form of just one great piece, you'll want to check out the label's graphic-printed t-shirt dress or revamp on the heat-wave-ready LBD. Just click through to see Frida Gustavsson showing off the latest Spring pieces — and the styling lessons that come with them.

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha (CEBA) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beer-sheba, as well as from the area of Gilead, marched out, and the group assembled as one body in the LORD's presence at Mizpah. | 1 Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out as one man and assembled before the LORD in Mizpah. |
2 The commanders of the people and of all the tribes of Israel took their place in the assembly of God's people, four hundred thousand foot soldiers armed with swords. | 2 The leaders of all the people of the tribes of Israel took their places in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand soldiers armed with swords. |
3 And the Benjaminites got word that the Israelites had marched up to Mizpah. The Israelites inquired, "Tell us how this evil act happened." | 3 (The Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) Then the Israelites said, "Tell us how this awful thing happened." |
4 So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered, "My secondary wife and I came to Gibeah of Benjamin to spend the night, | 4 So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, said, "I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night. |
5 and the leading citizens of Gibeah tried to attack me. They surrounded me in the house at night and were determined to kill me. They abused my secondary wife until she died. | 5 During the night the men of Gibeah came after me and surrounded the house, intending to kill me. They raped my concubine, and she died. |
6 I took her, chopped her up, and sent her pieces into every part of Israel's territory, because they had committed a disgraceful act in Israel. | 6 I took my concubine, cut her into pieces and sent one piece to each region of Israel's inheritance, because they committed this lewd and disgraceful act in Israel. |
7 All you Israelites, say what you think should be done here and now!" | 7 Now, all you Israelites, speak up and give your verdict." |
8 At this, all the people stood as one to say, "Not a single one of us is going home or returning to our house! | 8 All the people rose as one man, saying, "None of us will go home. No, not one of us will return to his house. |
9 This is what we're now going to do to Gibeah: We'll march up against it as the lot determines. | 9 But now this is what we'll do to Gibeah: We'll go up against it as the lot directs. |
10 From all the tribes of Israel, we'll get ten men for every hundred, one hundred for every thousand, and one thousand for every ten thousand to take supplies for the troops who are going to pay back Gibeah of Benjamin for the disgraceful act they've done in Israel." | 10 We'll take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred from a thousand, and a thousand from ten thousand, to get provisions for the army. Then, when the army arrives at Gibeah in Benjamin, it can give them what they deserve for all this vileness done in Israel." |
11 So all the Israelites joined together and were united as one against the city. | 11 So all the men of Israel got together and united as one man against the city. |
12 The Israelite tribes sent men throughout the whole tribe of Benjamin with this message: "What about this evil act that happened among you? | 12 The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What about this awful crime that was committed among you? |
13 Now hand over those perverse men in Gibeah so that we can execute them and remove the evil from Israel." But the Benjaminites refused to comply with the demand of their own relatives the Israelites. | 13 Now surrender those wicked men of Gibeah so that we may put them to death and purge the evil from Israel." But the Benjamites would not listen to their fellow Israelites. |
14 Instead, the Benjaminites from all the cities came together at Gibeah to march out for battle against the Israelites. | 14 From their towns they came together at Gibeah to fight against the Israelites. |
15 On that day, the Benjaminites called up from their cities twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, not counting those living in Gibeah. | 15 At once the Benjamites mobilized twenty-six thousand swordsmen from their towns, in addition to seven hundred chosen men from those living in Gibeah. |
16 Out of this entire army, seven hundred specially chosen men were left-handed, and every one of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss. | 16 Among all these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair and not miss. |
17 Not counting Benjamin, the Israelites called up four hundred thousand men armed with swords, and every one of them was a trained warrior. | 17 Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered four hundred thousand swordsmen, all of them fighting men. |
18 Then the Israelites marched up to Bethel to ask for direction from God. They inquired, "Who should go up first to fight against the Benjaminites for us?" And the LORD said, "Let the tribe of Judah be first." | 18 The Israelites went up to Bethel and inquired of God. They said, "Who of us shall go first to fight against the Benjamites?" The LORD replied, "Judah shall go first." |
19 So the next morning, the Israelites got up and camped near Gibeah. | 19 The next morning the Israelites got up and pitched camp near Gibeah. |
20 They marched out to fight against the Benjaminites, lining up in battle formation against them at Gibeah. | 20 The men of Israel went out to fight the Benjamites and took up battle positions against them at Gibeah. |
21 But the Benjaminites marched out from Gibeah and cut down twenty-two thousand Israelite men that day. | 21 The Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down twenty-two thousand Israelites on the battlefield that day. |
22 The Israelite troops regrouped and lined up in battle formation again in the same place they had lined up the first day. | 22 But the men of Israel encouraged one another and again took up their positions where they had stationed themselves the first day. |
23 So the Israelites went back up and wept before the LORD until evening. They asked the LORD, "Should we move in again to fight our relatives the Benjaminites?" And the LORD replied, "March out against them." | 23 The Israelites went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and they inquired of the LORD. They said, "Shall we go up again to battle against the Benjamites, our brothers?" The LORD answered, "Go up against them." |
24 The Israelites moved in against the Benjaminites the second day. | 24 Then the Israelites drew near to Benjamin the second day. |
25 But the Benjaminites marched out of Gibeah to meet them on that second day and cut down another eighteen thousand Israelite men, all of whom were armed with swords. | 25 This time, when the Benjamites came out from Gibeah to oppose them, they cut down another eighteen thousand Israelites, all of them armed with swords. |
26 Then all the Israelite troops went back up to Bethel and wept, just sitting there in the LORD's presence. They fasted that whole day until evening. Then they offered entirely burned offerings and well-being sacrifices to the LORD. | 26 Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, and there they sat weeping before the LORD. They fasted that day until evening and presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to the LORD. |
27 Now in those days the chest containing God's covenant was there, | 27 And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there, |
28 and Phinehas, Eleazar's son and Aaron's grandson, was in charge of ministering before it. The Israelites asked the LORD, "Should we march out once again to fight our relatives the Benjaminites or should we give up?" And the LORD replied, "March up, for I'll hand them to you tomorrow." | 28 with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, ministering before it.) They asked, "Shall we go up again to battle with Benjamin our brother, or not?" The LORD responded, "Go, for tomorrow I will give them into your hands." |
29 So the Israelites set ambushes around Gibeah. | 29 Then Israel set an ambush around Gibeah. |
30 Three days later, the Israelites marched out against the Benjaminites. They lined up for battle against Gibeah as before. | 30 They went up against the Benjamites on the third day and took up positions against Gibeah as they had done before. |
31 When the Benjaminites came out to meet them, they were drawn away from the city. They began to strike down some of the troops just like the last time, about thirty Israelites along the main roads, one of which goes up to Bethel and one to Gibeah, as well as in the open fields. | 31 The Benjamites came out to meet them and were drawn away from the city. They began to inflict casualties on the Israelites as before, so that about thirty men fell in the open field and on the roads--the one leading to Bethel and the other to Gibeah. |
32 The Benjaminites thought, They're being wiped out before us like the first time. But the Israelites had planned, We'll retreat and draw them away from the city toward the main roads. | 32 While the Benjamites were saying, "We are defeating them as before," the Israelites were saying, "Let's retreat and draw them away from the city to the roads." |
33 The Israelites moved from their position and reformed their battle lines at Baal-tamar. Then the Israelites who had been set in ambush charged out from their positions west of Gibeah. | 33 All the men of Israel moved from their places and took up positions at Baal Tamar, and the Israelite ambush charged out of its place on the west of Gibeah. |
34 Ten thousand specially chosen men from all the Israelites came against Gibeah. The fighting was fierce, and the Benjaminites didn't realize that disaster was almost on them. | 34 Then ten thousand of Israel's finest men made a frontal attack on Gibeah. The fighting was so heavy that the Benjamites did not realize how near disaster was. |
35 The LORD wiped out the Benjaminites before Israel. The Israelites slaughtered twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjaminite men that day, all of them armed with swords. | 35 The LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel, and on that day the Israelites struck down 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords. |
36 Then the Benjaminites saw that they had been defeated. The Israelites had given ground to the Benjaminites because they relied on the ambush that they had set around Gibeah. | 36 Then the Benjamites saw that they were beaten. Now the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, because they relied on the ambush they had set near Gibeah. |
37 Indeed, those in the ambush had dashed swiftly into Gibeah and killed all the people in the city with their swords. | 37 The men who had been in ambush made a sudden dash into Gibeah, spread out and put the whole city to the sword. |
38 The plan between the main force of the Israelites and those in the ambush was that when they sent up a big cloud of smoke from the city, | 38 The men of Israel had arranged with the ambush that they should send up a great cloud of smoke from the city, |
39 the Israelites would turn around in battle. The Benjaminites had begun to defeat some of the Israelites and had killed about thirty men, thinking, They are definitely going to be wiped out before us, as in the first battle! | 39 and then the men of Israel would turn in the battle. The Benjamites had begun to inflict casualties on the men of Israel (about thirty), and they said, "We are defeating them as in the first battle." |
40 But then the column of smoke began to rise from the city. When the Benjaminites looked back, there was the entire city going up in smoke to the sky. | 40 But when the column of smoke began to rise from the city, the Benjamites turned and saw the smoke of the whole city going up into the sky. |
41 The main force of the Israelites turned around, and the Benjaminites lost heart, because they recognized that disaster had fallen on them. | 41 Then the men of Israel turned on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified, because they realized that disaster had come upon them. |
42 They turned back before the Israelites in the direction of the desert, but the fighting caught up with them, and those from the towns were slaughtering them there. | 42 So they fled before the Israelites in the direction of the desert, but they could not escape the battle. And the men of Israel who came out of the towns cut them down there. |
43 They encircled the Benjaminites, chased them from Nohah, and trampled them to the east of Gibeah. | 43 They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them and easily overran them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east. |
44 Eighteen thousand Benjaminites fell, all of whom were strong warriors. | 44 Eighteen thousand Benjamites fell, all of them valiant fighters. |
45 When they turned back and fled toward the desert to the rock of Rimmon, the Israelites picked off another five thousand men on the main roads. And when they caught up with them at Gidom, they struck down two thousand more. | 45 As they turned and fled toward the desert to the rock of Rimmon, the Israelites cut down five thousand men along the roads. They kept pressing after the Benjamites as far as Gidom and struck down two thousand more. |
46 All in all, the total number of Benjaminites who fell that day was twenty-five thousand men, all of whom were armed with swords and were strong warriors. | 46 On that day twenty-five thousand Benjamite swordsmen fell, all of them valiant fighters. |
47 Six hundred men turned back and fled toward the desert to the rock of Rimmon. They stayed at the rock of Rimmon for four months. | 47 But six hundred men turned and fled into the desert to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months. |
48 But the Israelites turned their attention to the rest of the Benjaminites and massacred them entirely—the city, the people, even the animals, and everything else they found. They also burned down every city they came across. | 48 The men of Israel went back to Benjamin and put all the towns to the sword, including the animals and everything else they found. All the towns they came across they set on fire. |

Pipelining is an old concept in computing that basically involves directing the output of one process directly into another along a linear "pipeline," with each step processing the data in some way. It has many uses, such as serving as the basis for TenFityTwo's Pipelines, a free utility that lets you modify text or data files in numerous ways, in whole or just specific parts. You can quickly and easily make changes to columns, word, and field ranges; translate words and phrases; insert or remove lines of data; and more. Programmers can use it to save time over writing scripts to perform specific tasks. Pipelines treats lines of data as "records," performs actions in "stages" and only reads and writes the data on input and output, so it uses very little memory.
Pipelines operates from the command prompt, a batch file, a powershell script, or from a Pipelines file (PPL). It's actually built around a surprisingly simple concept: each "stage" represents something you want to do, but written in a basic English syntax using commands like "translate" and "duplicate." There's a list of stages and preprocess functions on the Pipelines Web site and in the copious documentation and examples provided with the program, among them Excel, text, INI, XML, and log files; even excerpts from George Orwell's "1984." After some practice, we created a pipeline for a simple text file from our archives, based on examples in the documentation. We constructed the command
Obviously, Pipelines isn't for most Windows users, though it's not beyond the capabilities of sophisticated users who lack a programming background. And old-school skills apply; if you learned DOS, you can probably handle Pipelines.

By fsh_whisper from USA on 2010-01-19 09:19:08 Things I liked:I ordered the big bore a couple years ago (old model) and the gun just keeps on impressing me. With .454 lead swagged balls from hornady at 50 yards i get compleat pass throughs on a 50 gallon steel drum. This gun has HIGH POWER and should be treated exactally like a firearm. I have dropped several deer with it out to 60 yards, and have plowed over a couple of coyotes. If you spend a bit of time with your gun it's VERY accurate, for fun shot a couple squirles in the head at 40 yards. Nice gun, well balanced, and with a Leapers Bug Buster scope very accurateThings I would have changed:Would prefer a bolt action loading port rather than the slide cover port. With the port set up it makes it a pain to seat the ball, or pellet into the barrel. It is LOUD, although a much diff. sound than a firearm. What others should know:The neighbors hear it fire, but through conversations with them they really have no idea what it actually is. However this is not a backyard plinker and DONT buy it for that. This gun also takes alot of air, so if your not in shape enough to do some seriose hand pumping go the scuba tank route. It's a fine rifle, and be prepaired if you show it to friends cuz they are gonna want it !!! |

By Ronald from USA on 2013-01-25 10:57:29 Things I liked:Value for the money - if you want a big bore air rifle its hard to beat the 909S. Lots of power for not a lot of money. I also like the looks of the single tube.Things I would have changed:The trigger. The trigger on this rifle is absolutely terrible. Its gritty and the pull weight is somewhere in the double-action revolver range. There are tuners out there that can fix that though but I sure wish it came with a good trigger like many other top of the line airguns. What others should know:If you're going to put a scope on this rifle - and you really need to to get the kind of performance its capable of - you will need the highest rings you can get. I used BKL high rings with a scope with a 40mm objective and still had to remove the rear sight blade to make it work. This is because the rear sight is very tall. |

Members of the Swiss Bacula community have created Bacula Systems SA, a new company that will offer professional support and services for the backup program.
Architect of the Client/Server software, Kern Sibbald, will take on the roles of CTO and Chairman with another seven Bacula developers joining the company as administrators, advisors and managers.
According to Sibbald, Bacula Systems is a response to user requests for professional support and he intends to achieve this via a new partner-network. The first cooperation is with French Linux distributor Mandriva, who will act as re-seller for Bacula subscriptions and will incorporate the free backup program in it's Linux distribution. One of Bacula Systems first customers is the Bank of Austria, who in a press release, praised Bacula for its high reliability and low costs.

"The Morning Briefing" is SmartPlanet's daily roundup of must-reads from the web. This morning we're reading about high-speed rail.
1.) Russia jails four over plot to bomb high-speed train. A Russian court jailed four alleged Islamist militants on Monday for plotting to bomb a high-speed train between Moscow and St Petersburg last year.
2.) Obama pushes ahead with high-speed rail plan. Undaunted by the looming fiscal crisis, the Obama administration said that it plans to forge ahead with its signature transportation project, investing billions of dollars in a long-term effort to build a high-speed rail network.
3.) Rare Beijing protest takes aim at high-speed rail project. Authorities in Beijing allowed a rare protest to take place on Sunday against a new high-speed rail line, with about 300 demonstrators shouting slogans disrupting traffic in a busy eastern suburb.
4.) A blight on rural England: 170,000 homes already hit by high-speed rail. An estimated 172,000 homes have been blighted by plans to build a high speed rail line from London to Birmingham, the High Court has been told, as a challenge to the plans is launched.
5.) EIB financing for high-speed rail. A financing contract worth €60 million to carry out the second phase of the high-speed East European railway line was signed, on 4 December, by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Conseil Régional de Lorraine (France).

all you need is :
a soldering iron
a few micro switches
a screw driver
Step 1: OPEN THE PROCESOR
Step 2: GENTLY REMOVING THE FOOT SWITCHES PART
Step 3: SOLDERING THE NEW SWITCHES
for the bank buttons move on to the next step
Step 4: CHANGING THE BANK/ EFFECT TYPE BUTTONS
Step 5: GETTING TO THE PCB
one you get to the actual circuitry, remove the two screws and turn the cover and remove the knob buttons by just pulling them out. remove the nut and then you can remove the defected buttons and replace them.
Step 6: GETTING IT FINISHED
please excuse me if i made any expression mistakes and if i'm unclear in any of the steps; it's my first instructable.

I'm Of Brazil and need two of this micro switches how the Banks and Rythm ... Someone have this to sell me , send me please... I Need So much of this! Or know where to found this.
You may also try just to refresh the solder. I fixed a problem with my rhythm micro switch that way, without changing micro switch itself.
Hey All, I have Guitar Effect Zoom G1X, I had trouble on PCB mount jack input & phones output, does any body know where I can get the spare part original for ZOOM PCB? thanks
Hey guys, I have this problem with my g2.1u. The thing is that it has that blinking "bt" message on the display, but I'm using zoom's ac adapter, do you know If I have to replace or change something? Please let me know
Noite Boa, Sera Que alguem poderia me FALAR quali EO IC10 POIs uma da Minha G2 torrou e ficou Impossível de sabre E quali.

Noite Boa, Sera Que alguem poderia me FALAR quali EO IC10 POIs uma da Minha G2 torrou e ficou Impossível de sabre E quali.
DESDE JÁ agradeço.
I was hoping someone could help me. I was using my G2.1u today into my keyboard with the rhythm section going, no problems at all. Have been doing this for quite a while. All of a sudden, no rhythm section. I don't think I hit any buttons but it is possible.
Nevertheless, nothing I do can get the rhythm to come back. Is there a setting I'm missing? I'm inclined to believe it is the actual button on the unit isn't working because while I can hear all the guitar effects in my keyboard (delay, drive) when I press "rhythm" it doesn't bounce over to that mode and let me modify tempo or pattern. It's not getting to that section.
I don't know how the button could have just broke though. This unit isn't used in performance. I'm pretty gentle with it and use my fingers, not feet.
Please help! I need the rhythm section to work.
Please send me some info about burned transistor Q2 (6CN). Is there any replacement?
i think Q2 is the same as Q3 & Q4,
that's a BC817. and replacement that could work maybe BC337. here is the
datasheet ... good luck!
RECTIFIYING: Q3 & Q4 are BC807 (NOT BC817). because BC807 its PNP polarity, and BC817 the NPN version.
Thus replacement will be BC327 and NOT BC337 in TO-92 case.
so you made it? i didn`t try yet because i can't find bc337 far
away from the city, but if works to you i'll buy a couple of them by
internet and wait 'till they come.
my zoom g2.1nu wont start..it remains on the menu where its shows G2.1NU Ver:1.03..please help me. I hope u can help guys..thx a lot
can u please tell me how to reset or update the firmware!! u r very cooperative ...thx a lot man
Basically you must conect the pedal to your pc, download the firmaware from zoom's web and run the software.
In the user manual you can find the complete instructions to do it, but if you don't have it here is an online version.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the valuable info. I am a G2.iu owner and I love it, but I have an insurmountable problem for which I find no remedy. ( Even after reading the manual thoroughly .)
At last power up, all I got was a blinking edit light and nothing more. Power modes for battery and DC are functional, but no USB and no coms with laptop.
The juice is flowing through, as you can hear the output connecting with the amp at power up, but no boot up of the Zoom processor occurs.
I have had some problems with power surges and lightning strikes in the past so I imagine this might have toasted something fragile.
This is a great piece of kit and I would hate to lose it. Could anyone please suggest the next step in diagnostics, as I will have it repaired by an expert if necessary ,if possible and affordable.
Could it be a ribbon connector or am I being optimistic?
All The Best . . .
Have you check the common failure of Q4?
or maybe another transistors like Q2, Q3 Q5 or Q5? If so, replacement
could be BC817 or BC337. I`m sure it works for blinking led, but not
sure about usb power.
Also you must check ribbon conector integrity.
good luck!
my zoom g2.1nu wont start..it remains on the menu where its shows G2.1NU Ver:1.03..please help me. I hope u can help guys..thx a lot
my g1xn is not starting
last time when i using it
the display shows "bt" again and again
then after sometime it stops working
i opened it whenever i m trying to start it
the resistor is heated too much
i dont know why?
when i take it to nearest electrical shop it says there is IC problem
plz, can u tell me what is the real problem and how i can fix it?
Someone please, can tell me what's the value of the resistor numbered as R8, that is just next to the Q4 transistor? I have a Zoom G2.1u to repair but someone before me tried and that resistor for somehow is missing.
Best regards.
Hope this helps, Erich.
Thank you very much erichans! And sorry I have taken so long to say something.
I have let the Zoom with someone with more knowledge in electronic repair, to try to fix it. It seems that applying the missing resistor on the already replaced transistor (Q4) solved the boot problem. I can't be 100% sure as it needed addicional repairs, because the previous owner done more damages than good, in his attempt to repair the unit. However the unit became bootable again, even if not fully functional, after working in the Q4.
Best regards,
Paulo Zacarias
Unfortunately the zoom G2 isn't 100% working, it have a minor problem but very limiting in it's use. The [-] BANK button when in edit mode, behaves like the STORAGE button, in other words when choosing the Drive the [-], instead of come backwards in the list of different drives, makes the display show the current bank and patch number blinking and with a second click saves the settings. Anyone have a clue of can be the problem?
Best regards.
Make sure the 20 track Display ribbon connector is properly plugged in at both ends. You get some weird results sometimes if this is not so. Make sure the offending buttons are not sticky. Again weird displays. Were the buttons spray cleaned? Be careful!! For myself, I use any good contact cleaner, spray or liquid, and rapidly exercise the buttons.
Good luck!!
Thank you for the prompt response. I will try to do what you said. However I don't think that the problem is in the display, is something wrong with the button BANK [-], or its function because it saves the settings I choose, like the storage button. Strange don't you think?
Best regards.
My Zoom it's finally 100% working, the problem were on the 20 pin flat cable that connect the buttons to the main board.
Best regards.
Good luck!
My G2.1u does not work on batteries. It did work yesterday though. The batteries were fully charged; trying new alkaline batteries neither worked. The battery cable is fine and is connected to the board. The unit still works with the adapter and USB power. It just wouldn't work with the batteries.
Any help you could offer is much welcome. Thanks.
For the battery to work, adapter must be unplugged. I had a G2 (same thing as far as the batteries go) with a rusty contacts problem. Corrosion on the battery contacts in the battery compartment. Obviously, scrape clean! Check with a meter battery voltage is available at the CN1 battery plug. Check for continuity between battery pin 1 on the board and the number 2 point of the adapter socket (adapter plug removed!). There's often a bad contact here.
Maybe the above will get you somewhere if the Unit is working on the adapter.
I apologise if I've told you too many obvious things. Things are obvious to some and not so obvious to others!!

I was able to fix my g2. The DC jack was the problem. When you said the adapter must be unplugged, it gave me a hint that the problem could be the DC jack since the adapter was already unplugged from the unit. I thought maybe one of the metal contacts inside the jack got stuck so I used a paper clip to pull them towards the center. To my surprise, the unit suddenly worked. Someone must have accidentally tripped over the wire.
Thanks a lot Erich!
In the G2/G2.1u this is a 3.3 ohm (I guess 3 watt!) resistor. So the value in the G1 wont be far distant from that, will be around that. But please be very careful what you are doing. That resistor could have burnt out in the first place due to something it was supplying being defective (shorting).
Just to bring you into the ballpark.
Congrats! You seem to have made a great find getting the Manual! The same site you got this info may also have something pertaining to my problems on the G2.1u too, so would be grateful for that info if you can get it. Marvellous for me if they have a G2.1u Manual and Circuit Diagram!!
Regards, Erich.
Did you solve your problem with the 18 ohm, 2 watt resistor?
