ARM revenue jumps thanks to Apple, Samsung
Everyone knows that Apple did exceptionally well in the 2011 calendar year. Its revenues are up, its cash reserves are about to break the US$100 billion mark and its stock price is hovering around $455. This boom is not only beneficial for Apple, but, as Electronista points out, it's also a stimulus for other third-party companies involved in the manufacturing of these devices. We often forget that when Apple sells a record number of iPhones and iPads, other companies like ARM are selling a record number of chipsets, radios and camera sensors needed to make these devices.
ARM is one the biggest beneficiaries of this rise in mobile technology. The company's revenue grew 21 percent to US$217 million, and its profit jumped 45 percent. Across the entire industry, the company collected royalty revenue on the 2.2 billion chips it sold in Q4 2011 alone. Almost 60 percent of this royalty revenue came from phones, tablets and other mobile devices.
The top two mobile device manufacturers selling all these ARM-powered devices are Apple and Samsung. Combined, these two companies sold about 95 million mobile devices in the last three months of 2011.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Hostage Mellissa Fung's memoir engrossing
Under an Afghan Sky
A Memoir of Captivity
By Mellissa Fung
HarperCollins, 358 pages, $33
UNDER an Afghan Sky may strike readers as an odd title for this otherwise engrossing memoir, since Mellissa Fung spent 28 days in a hole in the ground, tunnelled out under a house a few miles from Kabul, and shut out from the world around her.
Fung, a correspondent for CBC-TV News, was kidnapped by the supposed Taliban in 2008 during her second posting in Afghanistan.
Her time in confinement bears some similarity to that of fellow Canadian James Loney, whose book Captivity was recently reviewed in these pages.
Snatched from a refugee camp where she was covering the plight of those displaced by the war, Fung was stabbed in the shoulder and hand, spirited away by car then motorcycle, and dumped in an underground hole. Her captors weren't the real Taliban, however, but a ragtag group of thugs who abduct foreigners for profit.
In fact, it was a family operation of opportunistic criminals who themselves feared the Taliban. And at least one of them had serious misgivings about their work.
Her time in captivity was confusing, terrifying, frustrating and tedious. Her kidnappers took turns guarding her in the underground prison, repeatedly promising her release "in two days, inshallah," feeding her mostly sugary cookies and juice, and -- at times -- threatening to kill her.
What makes this book so affecting, however, is not any Hollywood-style drama or tension, but a rather unexpected and touching relationship she builds with one of her abductors, "Khalid," who calls her "my sister" and pledges not to kill her.
Khalid tells her that he is sorry she was kidnapped and asks if she hates him. They share stories of their personal lives, and Khalid reveals his deep love for his fiancé, who -- though she never meets Fung -- makes her french fries.
During her ordeal, Fung (who is in her late 30s) makes other connections with her guards. Ever the journalist, she constantly asks them questions and pushes for details about why they do this. One captor teaches her Pashto, and the two of them sing to each other; he from the Qur'an, and Fung from her memory of hymns learned from her Catholic upbringing in Vancouver.
An incongruous scene is set as, to the delight of her devoutly pious abductor, Fung belts out the American national anthem and songs praising a Christian god.
But it's not all sweetness and light. Her captors regularly criticize her for not being a Muslim, and frustrate her with repeated mantras about the evils of the United States and NATO, and praise for Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden. She was assaulted, abused physically, mentally and emotionally, and constantly grappled with the fear that she would be killed.
Apart from her often-frustrating exchanges with her captors, Fung found other ways to communicate: she called on her somewhat lapsed Christian beliefs in prayer and wrote letters to family and friends, and her boyfriend Paul Workman, a fellow CBC reporter.
His letters to her, written during her captivity, are reprinted here as well, revealing a love story of sorts.
Finding herself angry with God, she nonetheless resolves that it "would not be a good time to doubt the existence of God." And she finds odd occasions of beauty in a period of fear and misery.
In a scene that reveals the meaning of the title of her book, Fung gives thanks for a moment that "will stay with me forever." It's an uplifting experience that speaks to her strength of character and her feelings of hope.
The head of political studies at the University of Manitoba, George A. MacLean spent time with Canadian troops when they were stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan.

This was my first time using this heat wrap and it was very easy to install. I have Thunderheader pipes and had about 12 feet left over by doing a 1 inch overlap. Be prepared for quite a bit of smoke as the wrap will burn and change colors. I ordered the tan and it is now dark tan. Looks great though.

Twenty Egyptian Christian men are believed to be facing the imminent threat of execution after being abducted in Libya by extremist militants associated with the Islamic State terrorist organization.
It was recently reported by the SITE Intelligence Group that militants, who claim to run the "Tripolitania Province of the Islamic State terrorist outfit," released a statement claiming responsibility for the kidnappings of the Coptic Christian men, through two different abductions raids in Sirte in the last two months.
Although the statement also included pictures showing the captives to be alive, religious freedom activists from the humanitarian organization Christian Freedom International are almost positive that these 20 Christians will be killed, given the brutality that ISIS militants have shown in the thousands of executions that it has already carried out in Iraq and Syria. more >>
There is a growing refrain among non-theists: reading the Bible made me an atheist. Commonly, they point to difficult to understand Old Testament passages, including ones where God allows the death and destruction of humanity as He did with the flood in Genesis and bloody wars against the Canaanites detailed in Deuteronomy.
"Contemporary Christians have had a difficult time trying to come to grips with what they find in the Old Testament, especially those narratives that recount the destruction of whole groups of people by the acts of God," said Thomas Howe, a professor of Bible and Biblical Languages at Southern Evangelical Seminary in Matthews, North Carolina. "Non-Christians capitalize on this and attempt to undermine our faith by calling into question either the goodness of God or even His existence."
A challenge that some non-theists use to undermine the Christian faith is if God is so loving, why does He kill people or why does He encourage His people to commit genocide. more >>
President Barack Obama met on Wednesday with Naghmeh Abedini, the wife of imprisoned Pastor Saeed Abedini, and their two children in Boise, Idaho. Abedini said that she had been praying a long time for such a meeting, while Obama promised the family to do all he can to bring the pastor home.
"I am extremely thankful the president took the time to meet with our family and told us that securing the release of my husband is a top priority," Naghmeh Abedini said following the meeting.
"The president was focused and gracious — showing concern to me and my children. I know that this meeting could not have occurred without prayer, and I am grateful to the many people around the country and world who continue to pray for Saeed's release. The president repeated his desire to do all that he can to bring Saeed home. That means the world to me and my children and has given me a renewed sense of hope." more >>
The United Nations warned on Tuesday that ISIS militants are executing educated women within the territories it controls, reporting that the militants have already executed three female lawyers this month.
UN spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told reporters that numerous women living in ISIS strongholds, especially in the Iraqi city of Mosul, have recently been killed by ISIS militants and added that educated women are especially in danger.
"Educated, professional women, particularly women who have run as candidates in elections for public office seem to be particularly at risk," Shamdasani said. "In just the first two weeks of this year, reports indicated three female lawyers were executed." more >>
In response to the growing threat posed by the Islamic State terrorist group, the royal family of Saudi Arabia is having a 600-mile barrier constructed to completely block the Iraqi portion of the Saudi northern border, hoping to prevent ISIS militants from infiltrating the kingdom.
The planned fence structure will span the entire distance of the Iraq-Saudi border, from Jordan to Kuwait. The border barrier system will feature five layers of barbed wire fencing, a ditch, a patrol road, 240 rapid response vehicles, underground motion sensors, 40 watchtowers, radar, day/night cameras, seven command centers, 28 communication towers, 32 military response stations (equipped with helipads), and three rapid intervention teams. The entire system will also be connected through a fibre-optic communications network.
The idea for the "great wall" was first proposed during the height of the United States' invasion of Iraq in 2006. But, construction on the barrier did not begin until last September, after the Islamic State conquered large swaths of the neighboring Anbar province in Iraq. more >>
Officials in Afghanistan have confirmed that the Islamic State terrorist group is present and active in the country's southern region, flying its black flags, recruiting fighters and even fighting against forces from another radical Islamic extremist group, the Taliban.
The Times of London reports that sources within the Afghanistan government have confirmed the group's existence in the southern Helmand province. General Mahmood Khan, deputy commander of the Afghan army's 215 corps, said that numerous residents have attested that they've seen ISIS representatives actively recruiting fighters.
Khan also said that he was told by many of the residents that the ISIS recruitment operation in Afghanistan is run by former Guantanamo Bay detainee Mullah Abdul Rauf, who is actively offering prospective fighters decent wages if they fight for the caliph. more >>

Aulus Postumius Albinus Regillensis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other persons with the cognomen "Albus" or "Albinus", see Albinus (cognomen).
Aulus Postumius Albinus Regillensis was a Roman politician, of patrician family, of the early 4th century BC.[1] He was appointed consular tribune in 397 BC, and collected with his colleague Lucius Julius Iullus an army of volunteers, since the tribunes prevented them from making a regular levy, and cut off a body of Tarquinienses, who were returning home after plundering the Roman territory.[2]

EOS-M / Re: Eos M screen
« on: February 21, 2015, 04:18:04 PM »I have just bought a Eos M and would like some help on what is on the screen.
In M,AV,TV,P modes there is a circle in the middle of the screen. It is about 8mm diameter and remains there even when I move the focus point.
It is not there in intelligent or movie mode.
What is it and what does it do?
Further to above I reset camera to factory settings and the circle has now gone. Do not know aht is was.
Any help?
The circle appears when the metering mode is spot. It shows you the region that is being metered. Spot metering is only available in M, AV, TV, and P modes.
It is not linked to the focus point. It only meters from the center of the frame.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION An English style robust Porter brewed with imported pale, crystal, black and chocolate malts to lend the dark color with ruby highlights and dark malt flavors. This is a beer supposedly created in London in the early 18th Century to slake the thirst of the Market Porters, men who carried all the produce at markets throughout the city. The hops used are English varietals like Challenger for bitterness and a good amount of First Gold to balance all the malt notes.

You mean .5 arimadex
Legit for sure
With the discount its not pricey AT ALL. even without the discount by 3 get 1 knocks the discount down even further. Their 60ml. Do the math. Its pennys for perfect dosages.
Heavy is correct. Go grab some!!! Can't wait for this one.
Look nowhere else than iron mag
Mine too! So awesome
Its painless. You'll feel nothing
My blast with DMZ will start soon. Can't wait
Is it true that in conjunction with arimadex nolva is less effective?
Can't beat the buy 3 get one
More research
Great chart!
OK perfect. That's great to know

This question already has an answer here:
I'm trying to do some very-rough benchmarking and so I'd like to run the time
command from my script. I have the following:
use strict;
my $command = "/usr/bin/time -f \"%U,%S,%E,%P,%K,%M\" ...";
my $stats = `$command`;
print "stats: $stats\n";
Unfortunately, it looks like the result of the command is never assigned to $stats
. When I execute the script, I get something like the following:
So it looks like it runs the time
command successfully, but prints out the value to STDOUT
instead of assigning the value to $stats
. When I use another command, like ls
, it seems to work as expected. What am I doing wrong here?

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.18 / 5.00 3,452 ViewsFrom BroccoliClock!
Please vote fairly.
I'll try to respond to all reviews, I need some Constructive critisism to improve my work! If a reviewer just gives zeros in the review for no apparent reason, I'll assume they no nothing about anything.
Well, this wasn't bad, but it was truly short.
It seemed to have the premise of Broccoli Clock about to try and win back his popularity, but instead, he just left, and that was "teh edn"
If you could expan upon your animations storyline, it would be profoundly better. The premise of the storyline seemed interesting, and was basic enough to keep my attention. (Keep in mind, I am NOT a clock fan)
The humour was pretty good, although the only joke was really with the head and Broccoli stealing his money..? lol
Hope to see your next projects longer than a minute and more in depth to your story, because they would be great.
That's the one big problem I keep re-iterating to people and throughout New Grounds submissions. You're all so anxious to get the animation out that you only spend a week on it. Even if it's still a good animation, taking your time will make it incredibly better (unless you suck at drawing to begin with..)
Anyways. Hope to see more and improvement, because there's potential. And yes, if you check my profile, you will notice I do not like clocks, so I think I rated fairly, don't you?
~ NW.oYm-NO ~
I read your review throughly and i have to say, This little flash started out as a joke and i didn't think it would go anywhere.(that should explain some things.)
Of course i'm going to make the series better and longer and more storyline, this was kind of the Crappy Pilot to the Whole thing!
I don't really care if a person likes clocks or hates them, all i care about is if they will take the time(Like you did) and review on skill, not what group they're in.
Thanks for the encouragement!
WTG man.
Not bad, mi amigo. You clock peeplz is waaaaay crezzy, but I do like the way u do things. Not to be insulting, but where TF did you guys get the whole clock thing, anyway? Don't stop man, this kinda thing looks good on ya. Keep tickin', and kickin'. (serious ass that is :P) Hope this entry survives! See you around if it does!
You gave this entry a 5, raising its score to 2.82
hahaa that was great man
Guess what happens every episode!
one of the best movies i have ever see... heh.
Very funny and well done. It reminds me of Clock movies from the old days...only good. ;)
Only good :)
I'm thinking of putting you in the next one. You'll probably be a boss type figure, Possibly do a Office Space parody :)

Title | Information technology -- Multimedia application format (MPEG-A) -- Part 6: Professional archival application format | |||||||||
Publication date | 2012-09-12 | |||||||||
Format, price (Swiss francs) and language |
Abstract | The purpose of ISO/IEC 23000-6 Professional archival application format (PA-AF) is to provide a standardized packaging format for digital files. This packaging format can also serve as an implementation of the information package specified by the Reference Model of Open Archival Information System (OAIS). The OAIS Reference Model is a framework for understanding and applying concepts necessary for long-term digital information preservation (where "long-term" is long enough to be concerned about changing technologies). In addition, PA-AF can also be used as an intermediate or exchange packaging format for any kind of multimedia content. PA-AF specifies the following: a metadata format to describe the original structure of digital files archived in a PA-AF file; a metadata format to describe context information related to a PA-AF file and digital files archived in it; a metadata format to describe necessary information to reverse the pre-processing processes applied to digital files prior to archiving them in a PA-AF file; and a file format for carriage of the metadata formats and digital files. While a general archival process may include processes ranging from creation, delivery to the archival system, to dissemination to consumers, PA-AF is limited in scope as follows. PA-AF specifies neither how to create input content nor any agreement on how the content should be handled and delivered to the archiving process. PA-AF assumes that input content for the archiving process is available in an appropriate digital format. PA-AF specifies the format of a digital archive produced by the archival process. It does not specify how the archive output by the archival process is disseminated to end-users. Note that the archiving policy and agreements are not included in the scope of PA-AF. PA-AF is independent from any kind of compression scheme or any kind of metadata format. PA-AF provides a mechanism for identifying the pre-processing tools applied to the archived content files. Any kind of compression tool or encryption tool can be specified as an external pre-processing tool. In addition, though PA-AF optionally provides a predefined minimum set of descriptive metadata for its archived contents, any kind of application- specific meta-information can be stored in the PA-AF package as a content file or files if the archive's policy or agreements require it. For this purpose, PA-AF provides a mechanism for linking that meta-information to the archived content file. In the second edition, the maximum number of files that can be packed in a PA-AF file is extended to more than 65535. The latest reference software and conformance bitstreams are also included. |

Stop dealing with the 98% of the population. If they're so rich, they are now peers of the 2% of the population who rule in various ways. Peasants may have little to offer in reward (perhaps fealty?), but queens, nobles, generals, and the heads of merchant empires will want to either control or ally with such powerful figures – before their rivals do.
As a ...
There are a few games with reasonable economics: Runequest (2nd or 3rd ed, not the Mongoose versions) and Pendragon (all editions). Fantasy Wargaming, for all its derision as a game, has decent econ research. Later versions of Chivlary & Sorcery also do reasonably well at it. Several supplements for Hero System also have decent price lists.
There are ...
In Adventurer's Vault pg 198 it describe uses for the Enchant Magic Item ritual:
... the ritual can also be
used to place a property in a magic item that has no
property, or to upgrade a magic item to a more powerful
version 5 levels higher. This use of the ritual follows
the same rules for enchanting a magic item from a
mundane item but ...
Eberron has maglev trains
Eberron, which was originally written for 3.5, has the so-called Lightning Rail, which is basically a magical maglev train. It's a fairly major part of the setting, and certainly doesn't ruin anything.
Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk don't have trains, or, apparently, mages who think
As you say, considering the ...
The 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide contains a small table on building costs. Page 101.
But, for detailed guidelines on how to handle character-made buildings in 3E (including detailed cost and construction time rules), refer to the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook. It is a 3.0 book, but requires minimal updating.
As far as renting goes... you could calculate the ...
I'll head to the Dungeon Master's Guide 2, chapter 5, section Item Components, page 146. A quick and easy way to solve your issue is suggested in the 4. Upgrade or Replace? subsection:
4. Upgrade or Replace? An item created using these guidelines could replace an old item. Or the process could impart a new power to an existing item, upgrading it to a ...
Yes, these and more are legal
It's fairly trivial to destroy the economy in 3.5. In fact, I have actually seen tables that basically assume that money is unlimited after a certain (fairly low) level.
I'm not super convinced about the undead-squirrel-based factory, since Crafting typically requires checks that are beyond the abilities of ...
The money pumps as described are both legal and restrained.
While SirPoley is writing high-opt, he's... very carefully not touching various "I win" buttons and most of his wealth comes from very simple arbitrage. His recent (and brief) dip into artificer failed to produce a number of objects of "I win" (slotless use-activated tatoo of chained shatter, ...
I like trying to get realism in my worlds and that includes economies.
The best gaming source for this is HarnManor which, though nominally for Harn, has no real ties to that system - it's a toolkit with examples for generating a real fief/village/manor and its economy. I've used it in many a campaign. Chivalry & Sorcery is also a good source.
I think ...
Consider the fact that there is no DungeonMart to go purchase supplies from. There are no autolooms to help weave fabric. No cotton gin to quickly process cotton into fluff. The process of crafting items was time consuming and labor intensive. Only the wealthy had any sort of real wardrobe. If an adventurer needed a back pack they would most likely need ...
I see no problem.
Let's assume the characters are not essentially rich, they just have very valuable equipment. They could have stolen it, found it, or rewarded with it. Apart from that, they don't need to be very rich.
If they want to trade their equipment for a cheaper one and buy a house or a farm (if they can), let them have it.
On the other hand, ...
I used to play The Dark Eye (Das Schwarze Auge) myself and in my opinion it strongly resembles medieval Europe - apart from the obvious fantasy additions. It's rule books give information of the economy, trade and demography of nearly everything.
Therefore the dilemma is quite understandable; in medieval Europe a sword was worth a fortune and in the world ...
Someone did write a book about this! It's called Grain Into Gold: A Fantasy World Economy, and it answers all your questions to various degrees. If you're interested in learning more, this review archived by the Wayback Machine is very informative.
It most answers your first question, by detailing a fantasy world economic model based on raw materials and ...
I actually like HeroQuest's (the roleplaying game not the board game) method of economy better. You don't keep track of coins at all, rather you have an attribute that is your purchasing power. The more things you purchase in one sitting the greater the penalty to further purchases. Incidentals, like a drink and meal at a tavern, well below the purchasing ...
Fief and Town
There are two great system-agnostic sources for you to check out.
Almost all fantasy is based on Medieval Europe, and that's what these books are about. From the publisher's site:
Fief: A Look at Medieval Society from its Lower Rungs is a sourcebook that examines the Middle Ages from the viewpoint of the ordinary farmer, priest, and ...
There are several ways to approach this. The most common and easiest is: Handwaving.
In short, probably the traditional approach to this problem is to essentially ignore it. The peasant needs to offer a reward of 1000 Gold Pieces and it doesn't make any sense for his entire family to have anything close to that... well he does anyway. It's not realistic, ...
Yes, I believe this is possible to implement without "messing up" the established world as long as there are limits to its implementation and the factors below are addressed.
First of all, any train would have to use old technology, and I mean OLD, by not even using a steam engine. Rather, have a couple of Golems (or similar "creature") use a simple ...
The best merchant system for 3.X I've seen is A Magical Society: Silk Road by Expeditious Retreat Press. It is exhaustive in its treatment of trade goods. The best seafaring system I've seen is the Pilots' Almanac by Columbia Games. While for Hârnmaster, it is really a sub-system of its own that can be adapted for d20 use by remembering 5% = +1 on a d20. ...
Use Reign
The company rules are perfectly suited to organizing groups and countries. I've successfully used the rules (including the resolution engine for country-level tasks) as a player in a 4e game where the players have founded their own city, complete with sub organizations like the thieves' guild. It will work better than any official 3.5 supplement ...
Well, your second question is probably the easiest to answer. I imagine that the price is the same as in the Player's Handbook (p.222), i.e. 5sp for a typical room and 2gp for a luxury room.
The first one is tougher. The Eberron Player's Guide (p.13) tells us that the lower class (of which I guess a guard belongs to) has no more than a handful of silver ...
Relationships as Rewards
Your awareness concerning the disparity-in-wealth issue might be more of a solution than a problem. While many GMs are looking for trouble for PCs to get into, you have already identified an excellent jumping-off point for all kinds of adventures.
Poor NPCs will naturally seek help from characters that appear to have more ...
I am going to contrast with most of the answers and say "no". In the time of ancient Greece, there was a track that was used to bring boats across the Isthmus of Corinth called Diolkos that ran from somewhere around 400BC until "the first century AD". Meanwhile, between 80BC and 15AD lived a guy who created the Aeolipile which was a very rudimentary steam ...
In describing the setting of Eclipse Phase, the tension between economic systems is a major theme. The game describes a world that has recently reached post-scarcity (and even more recently undergone a huge catastrophe), where humanity has populated the solar system. Much of the game can be read as a critique of capitalism, and it is very well researched ...
They want the money to build a temple dedicated to their gods in their home village and .... carve their faces on a mountainside visible from a major city they were banned from, Mount Rushmore-style.
In light of this answer, I wouldn't worry about the money directly. (Their faces or their gods' faces? Maybe have their gods' faces shining down on ...
GURPS Fantasy
I know, it gets boring. Somebody asks, "Is there a good book about blank?" Then, inevitably, someone chimes in with "Yes! GURPS blank is awesome!"
Sorry to bore you, but GURPS Fantasy, like practically all GURPS books, is a font of solid information for any game. How many game books will help you figure out what it cost to maintain your ...
There was a supplemental book entitled "Aurora's Whole Realms Catalog" which was kind of a shopper's guide to the forgotten realms. Wasn't a very thick book but it had common items and prices. You could use that as a base.
First of all, as someone else already wrote in the comments, ask yourself what you are trying to model, and if you really believe this will interest your players.
I can think of a couple different approaches:
You want to involve PCs in running or working for a trading company. This can be the Merchant Guild, a minor noble houses, whatever... for ...
The problem with linking the EVE economy ( as an EVE player myself ) is that almost the entire economy of EVE is player-driven, with exceptionally little NPC interaction. The players also interact with the market on a regular basis, usually at least once per log in. This means that some players can dedicate themselves to the market warfare, while others do ...
I was going to comment, but it looks like it will be simpler to answer:
There are deep problems with the backwards projection of a capitalist commodity economy with wage labour onto "low-tech, low-magic environments, similar to the authentic late medieval/early modern eras."
There's a conflict between the desire to have "an economy" in your understanding ...
I'm afraid have to say that you probably shouldn't worry too much about messing up the economy, because 3.5 doesn't actually have one. That might sound odd, given that there's prices for almost everything listed in the rules, but 3.5 doesn't really attempt to model how gold moves around, except in terms of how it enters and leaves the possession of ...

Centro Cocina Mexicana Restaurant Review: Centro is a longtime local favorite for quality regional Mexican food in an upscale setting. The atmosphere is lively, the service friendly, and the food showcases the best of what Mexico has to offer --- making it a good choice for a celebratory dinner or night out with friends. Dishes are carefully crafted with fresh, local ingredients. Starters include grilled Monterey Bay squid and shrimp, and pork and plantain empanadas, while mains include enchiladas suizas with Sierra Nevada jack cheese, a burrito with homemade chorizo, and wood-grilled local rockfish. The bar is a lively hangout before or after a meal, featuring more than 150 tequilas and more than a dozen Oaxacan mezcals. |

Direct Express Complaint
social security fraud - ss debit card 1-877-212-9991
have no idea
My 80 yr. old father was duped out of his Nov. ss check. With only a conversation over the phone, no signature, which my father cannot remember doing, and I know that he would not ever do, this private company, Direct Express, could reroute my father's ss check to a wrong address and leave him financially impaired!
D. Ex. # 1-877-212-9991 or 1888-741-1115
We called this company twice and they were very vague and non-helpful with any information that we needed like:
Who signed him up?
Where did his money go?
What help could they offer?
This makes me believe that this company can help criminals dupe other people.

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
The head of Dubai Health Authority (DHA) believes the number of medical tourists receiving treatment in the emirate will reach millions annually by the end of the decade, potentially pumping billions of dollars into the economy.
Dubai is aiming to become a major international medical tourism hub as it rapidly expands its healthcare sector and loosens visa requirements for patients.
In an exclusive interview with Arabian Business, DHA director general Engineer Essa Al Maidoor said Dubai had all the right elements to attract foreign patients, including its own airline, an airport and a plethora of hotels, while it was ploughing millions of dollars into improving and expanding health services.
"So when it comes to medical, especially people from the MENA area, Africa and maybe the middle of Asia, why not [come to Dubai]?" Al Maidoor said.
With the total number of tourists in Dubai growing by 2m to 9.5m between 2010 and 2012, Al Maidoor believes he can attract millions of medical tourists within five to ten years.
"[The increased number of tourists] shows the growth in that sector," he said. "Similarly, the health sector will grow as the number of people attracted [to Dubai] grows. "As much as the people need, we can provide.
"The main challenge is to maintain it with quality – that's what I'm aiming to have in Dubai. As it's forming as a business hub we hope it will form as a private health [care] hub for the region."
The medical tourism market already generates more than US$1.6bn each year, according to Euromonitor International, with much of that in Dubai.
The Dubai Health Authority estimates the number of medical tourists in Dubai is increasing 10-15 percent each year, while about 15 percent of patients in Dubai Healthcare City already are medical tourists.
The UAE also recently announced a new three-month medical tourist visa, which can be extended twice, up to nine consecutive months, in a bid to attract foreign patients.
It also is now granting short-stay visas for specialist doctors needed to work in operating theatres for as little as one day.
Additionally, thousands of medical professionals are travelling to Dubai for various healthcare conferences hosted in the emirate.
More than 100,000 people are estimated to have attended Arab Health expo earlier this month, while 90,000 nights worth of accommodation were booked out for a three-day dental conference also in February.
However, Deloitte's director of healthcare consulting, Parham Gohari, said Dubai had "a long way to go" before it would be an attractive medical destination.
Bahrain and Kuwait also were competing for medical tourists in the region and while Dubai had better infrastructure and a larger pool of existing tourists, there was some distrust in the emirate's healthcare system, Gohari said.
"Dubai has the potential but I do feel they have a long way to go," he told Arabian Business.

Posted by: Koichi Ito Thursday, 10 October 2013 12:47 PM[UAE] - United States of AmericaWhy Angelina Jolie did not undergo preventive double mastectomy in United Arab Emirates or India?
Posted by: Kaif Monday, 4 March 2013 12:47 PM[UAE] - UKDubai will undoubtedly grow in all other aspects but definitely not in this respect. As others above have pointed out price will be an issue and so will quality of medical care. Also the doctor-patient relationship is very important in medicine and one which is normally cultivated over a lifetime so short-term visits for medical treatment to Dubai will not be attractive to a lot of people who take their health and medical issues seriously.
Posted by: Kaptain Mirza Tuesday, 26 February 2013 2:39 PM[UAE] - PakistanSo the butchers, oh sorry, the Doctors will experience a positive increase in salaries now.
First raise the level and standards of medical practise. The trust level of the local community is absent for the medical practices, once that is in place, a formal strategy can be thought out to attract others to this region.
Posted by: kingkaiser Tuesday, 26 February 2013 1:49 PM[UAE] - UAEThe important question is: Why come to Dubai for healthcare? Dont get me wrong, the city has a lot going for it, but healthcare?? Its not much cheaper than other countries, so thats out. The quality of doctors here is laughable - I know of someone whose tumor was diagnosed as appendicitis!! (how the doctor thought that a pain for 4 months could be appendicitis is beyond me, since appendicitis kills within days)
I myself was injured by a doctor who then stated that he had never operated on that area (conveniently charged me for it though).
Unless medical malpractice is taken seriously and it is possible to sue doctors here, I see no reason for wealthy individuals to put their lives in the hands of the inept MDs in this country, who can misdiagnose and botch up operations with no consequences.
Posted by: Keef Monday, 25 February 2013 4:15 PM[UAE] - UAEFinish the Canal Point Hospital, designed specifically for this reason

It's a rare feeling nowadays actually to miss someone. How can you, when the world is so hyper-engaged and perennially in touch? How can you ever really feel the absence of a person when they're there in your phone, a photo message away, or tweeting their exact movements? Looking at their Facebook profile makes up for not looking at their face; their eyes meet yours over Google searches, if not the breakfast table.
My boyfriend has been away for a month, woe is me. That might not sound like very long (if you're over 50) or it might sound like eons (if you're under 15). Personally, I've found it somewhere in the middle. It's 30 days of getting on with things, treading water and keeping busy. But then again, it's just 30 days like any other. It's 30 days of washing your hair, having a drink and eating a sandwich. He's back soon, after all.
But the business of missing people is a lucrative industry – and I'm not just talking blow-up dolls and boyfriend-shaped pillows (they're Japanese, obviously, and have a bolsterish arm that you can snuggle into. And no, I haven't gone out and bought one.)
Our interconnectivity and constancy has come about because the internet has been, in part, a project to make sure we never feel like we're on our own. Whether the US government admits it or not, it invented a thing to make every saddo in the universe feel less of a saddo.
You didn't think all these internet substitutes are about anything other than allaying the aching void in one's life, did you? Social networking is not so much about meeting new and interesting people as keeping tabs on the interesting people you already know. And helping you feel, in this giant, souped-up and over-connected world where everyone knows you from Twitter before you've even met them, that you matter – maybe even that you are missed. It's knowing that someone else is always awake in the middle of the night when you are. While our earthbound forebears knew that but couldn't act on it, for us that trans-ocean, trans-temporal companionship is only ever a chatroom away.
Sociable loneliness is a modern affliction, and by that I mean the sensation of being utterly on your own, even as you scroll through up-to-the-minute lists of pensées and witticisms from 900 of your closest friends on your iPhone. But loneliness is not the same as missing someone. Missing someone is having something happen to you, wanting to tell that thing to the person you most want to hear it, and then remembering they aren't there to tell it to.
Missing someone is – and it's depressing, this – seeing something on Twitter that they might find funny and then attempting to tweet it to them, before remembering (shock!) that they are offline and that's why you're missing them. *Throws phone across room and has a little cry*
But the most worrying thing about how difficult it is really to feel the lack of a person these days is what that might be doing to our emotional spectrum, to culture. Being as plugged in as we are, our latterday brand of touch-type telepathy will render us as reactive, heart-strings-wise, as a goldfish that forgets who or what it is missing the second it remembers it's missing something but can't remember who or what it is.
How would troubadours work their lyrical magic these days without the breathing space to adore their ladies fair from afar? Would they stand at castle walls (OK, the electric gates of yuppie high-rises) and serenade them? Or would them just join FourSquare, announce on Twitter that they'd taken up their post and wait for the lady fair in question to buzz them in?
What would Emily Dickinson do – with all her Arbitrary capitals and breathy – Dashes? Would she have sequestered herself inside, writing inscrutable almost-love notes to an object of affection whose identity has never been revealed? Or would she just have clicked "busy" on G-chat and attempted to lure the object in that way? Would she have Skyped whoever-it-was and told them she was getting A Bit Bored – of it all – ?
How do you really miss someone when the furthest they ever really are from you is when you accidentally leave your phone in your handbag in the other room?
It's when those go-to techy stand-ins fail you, that's how. It's waking up and checking your emails, your Twitter, your Facebook – hell, even your doormat – and finding nothing there. It's patting the empty bum-print in the sofa next to you thoughtfully and carrying on watching telly with a sad little sigh.
Like I said, he's back soon. I'm already anxious that the very technology that has kept him not too far away, even though he's on a different continent, will lash out viciously upon his return and, rather than yielding precious contact, will instead mean endless slideshows and interminable holiday snaps of people I will never meet.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll end up missing the time I spent missing him.

Here you can see al the Dutch programs and rules: http://f3p.nl/ second button on the left, "Afspraken & programma's".
A is a modified fai program because of the hight of our locations (all are around 7m). It is the same as the german program exept for the half square loop with a half role after. This is new this year, I personally disagree with the change but its been made to allow more planes and competitors to enter and we do have 2 new a competitors one flying a nexus, which cant fly a half role vertically down in 7m (without modifications). In Belgium they have a 12m rule, above 12m they use the fai program. But we don't have any >12m locations. They als changed the 4point roll in 45° upline I believe (not really sure of their program). The B program changes every 2 years, I'm not sure how the came up with it. Its not a turnaround program, you're aloud to cross the midline once. C doesn't change, it's suppose to be easy and flyable for anyone interested. Al thou there is talk of changing the k-factor. |

The current Finnish schedules can be found in:
http://www.f3a.fi/f3a/indoor/ Our A-schedule is the same as the Dutch. We usually have enough height in the competitions even for the spins etc, but halls used for training are usually smaller, that's why we chose not to use the current FAI schedule. If the new French schedule proposal that Mr Nicolas Pietu posted here earlier, or any other schedule that takes the limited height available to account, is accepted by CIAM, we hope to adopt the official FAI F3P schedule for the next winter season. BTW. If any of our Norwegian friends, or other close neighbours are interested, the Finnish F3P (as well as F3A) competitions are open to participants from other countries. We have our next competion next weekend in Pietarsaari, one is planned for feb-march but dates not yet sure, and the last one will be in Helsinki on april. Dates will show up in www.f3a.fi when confirmed. You can also email/pm me privately for more info. |
