Leicester, UK - 9th January, 2014 -10ZiG Technology, the only Thin and Zero Client Vendor to offer true versatility at no extra cost, is excited to announce its integration of Citrix Linux Receiver 13.0 into its Thin and Zero Client product range (5748C/5848C/5872/6872). 10ZiG is the first Thin Client vendor to release the new software and we are proud to be taking the Citrix Linux Receiver to the next level of performance.
This new Citrix Linux Receiver supports many of the new features and enhancements in XenDesktop 7, including Windows Media client-side content fetching, HDX 3D pro, HDX RealTime webcam compression, Server-rendered Rich Graphics, and IPv6 support. You can also use the Citrix Linux Receiver 13.0 to connect to virtual desktops (VDI) created with Citrix VDI-in-a-Box.
Citrix Linux Receiver 13.0 has UDP audio support. Most audio features are transported using the ICA stream and are secured in the same way as other ICA traffic. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Audio uses a separate, unsecured, transport mechanism, but is more consistent when the network is busy. UDP Audio is primarily designed for Voice over IP (VoIP) connections and requires that audio traffic is of medium quality and unencrypted. Along with UDP audio support, there have been many audio and webcam playback improvements. Various changes are implemented that conserve CPU cycles and reduce latency. There are also several new audio settings available in module.ini.
HDX performance advancements in this release improve the user experience when using productivity apps, viewing multimedia files and during audio and video conference calls. Now the Citrix Linux Receiver can process high FPS for 2D and 3D graphics with partner hardware accelerated plugin and other generic optimizations, stretching the server limits even from a low power device. Under the hood flow control, multithreading and UDP audio greatly improve the audio and video conference experience. Support for client side content fetching in HDX Mediastream maximizes the server and network scalability for multimedia delivery.
A new self-service UI or new graphical user interface, replaces the configuration manager, wfcmgr. After users are set up with an account, they can subscribe to desktops and applications, and then start them. Also, with new StoreFront support, users can now connect to StoreFront stores as well as Citrix XenApp sites (also known as Program Neighborhood Agent sites).
According to Kevin Greenway, Managing Director of 10ZiG Technology Europe, "The latest release of Citrix Receiver 13.0 for Linux provides a greatly improved user experience. Coupled with 10ZiG's outstanding line up of Citrix Thin Client and Zero Client Technology, including our dual screen as standard HDX SoC Zero Client and market leading dual-core 1.86GHz processors, Citrix Linux Receiver 13.0 provides a powerful and seamless desktop experience for virtual desktops. Leveraging the best of both technologies allows Citrix users to experience this first class performance, only previously possible using a Fat Client. We are pleased to offer Citrix users, new and old, to a no obligation trial in their own environments."
Paul Parkin, Solutions Specialist at 10ZiG's Accredited Partner CCS Media Ltd, added "10ZiG's release of Citrix Receiver 13 support is great news. I'm really impressed that 10ZiG respond to new releases so quickly. CCS Media customers need and expect a professional response to upgrades and new releases and once again 10ZiG have delivered!"
Demo units with the new Citrix Linux Receiver 13.0 are now available through our North American, European and Australian locations. To arrange a demo unit or to find out more about the new Citrix Linux Receiver 13.0, contact us at [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected].

Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve.

Big cash for Myrtle Cole from Mission Valley
Legal defense fund reaps well-timed money before stadium vote
Matt Potter 12:36 p.m., Aug. 4
Hey Matt
What's the difference between a sunroof and a moonroof on a car?
-- Jay, Bay Park
Grandma Alice has a message for you. "Tell him the difference is like day and night!" She's still cackling over that one. Hasn't laughed so hard since she got the first incoming call on her Boy George "Karma Chameleon" animated plastic telephone, with extendable tongue and lifelike plastic dragonfly (TV special, only $69.95!). Actually, that may say as much about Boy's career as Grandma's sense of humor.
So, a sunroof: a hole in the roof with a retractable metal cover. A moonroof: a hole in the roof with a retractable glass cover (and sunshade). That's it? Okey-dokey. Grandma sure got mileage out of it.

China Real Time
**China narrowly avoided becoming the culprit of another potential environmental disaster**
Its funny how if you accuse a white guy of being descendents of slave masters they'd always claim it was the other guy and how they are liberal, freedom loving, democracy believing dudes. Accuse them of being Nazis and it's always the other guy and how all their friends were homosexual jewish gypsies. Accuse them of causing environmental problems and they'd claim they're card carrying 20 year old members of green peace. Accuse them of anything and they always have a way to wiggle their way out of any responsibility.
However, for the Chinese, no matter which moron or degenerate caused the problem, it's always China's fault.
Annoyed, I share your frustration with Western media when they thoughtlessly 'blame China' for any given issue, but I don't think the author of the article is out of line here.
I think in this case there is a certain amount of balance since the piece is largely about an 'America's environmental woes' even though the responsibility lies with (non-American) BP.
"...thoughtlessly 'blame China' for any given issue..."? Hardly. You must not read much.
As for the first poster, generalizations galore without one specific instance to back it up. It's just nonsense. Again, someone who never reads because if he did he'd realize the absurdity of what he has written.
It's funny how some of the best ideas are coming from people, so far away from the Gov, BP and the actual spill site.... even ideas from gaming sites.... nchgaming.com/page.php?34
laughing @ **generalizations galore without one specific instance to back it up**
rubbish, normal curve, bell curve, mean, standard deviation? no comprende? you're just another innumerate who don't understand that generalisation is what runs the world.
No, facts run the world, my annoyed compadre. Anyone can write any stereotype and generalization they want, and if your assertion was correct there'd be no holding them to account. But the devil is in the details. The first two posters sling all sorts of nonsensical and irrelevant generalities without one specificity to give them any grounding - and, of course, only one would hardly make their cases.
A copy of two leak elimination possibilities sent to deepwaterhorizonresponse.com, abc7.com, & The White House:
1st Suggested, cement rods appx 8-15' long, with cone shaped tip, undetermined diameter,
fed in at a rate to possibly cause a jam deep in the well, then jagged after rock for natural hold, then cement or metal cap?
we had seen pre mud, & pre cut diagram of the well, but did not realize cutaway was possible
we suggested blast for clear shot at hole, then we saw a cement tower, with a good cut at top pipe
remember material at earth, measurements, & pressures unknown to us
we contemplated the use of numerous rods/cores, then thought why not a series of three or four
would it be possible? to insert cores, cement? cone tipped pylons for penetration through outflow pressure
maybe a series of pylons from small to large, whatever will dive down shaft
pressure permitting pylon diameters, as long/heavy as controllably possible, earth core and layer protection/isolation also achieved
weight and measurements causing "fall in", "slide in" preferred, natural lodge without ejection desired
for example: a skinny/thin any heavy core would slide into the well, never to be seen, to thick would jam before insert
cabled/lowered down by ship, ample slack and quick release, guided/inserted at post and cable ? by marine robots
reinforced/secured by jagged jammed rock, then a more more pressure fit flat front core for seal, like a motor piston
the use of metal (heavier) shafts/cores/pylons would be necessary, if ejection is unstoppable
if metal is used, the drilled hole/site would probably not be again usable
the cores could be designed for later removal by back end hook
we are not opposed to this form of drilling
believe underwater security and video measures are necessary
have thoughts on these matters, but animals, and/then people more important right now
also opposed to this form of drilling energy
we'll see
I am confused what the first poster was saying.
The person who said that was a Chinese, not a white guy trying to blame Chinese.
A lot of the posters here like to rant and rave about things that happened centuries ago. It makes them feel better about themselves, for some reason. They all harp on the same 3 or 4 topics, like they've all read the same one book. It's tired, but they like it.
Do ya guys no "Charlie" is the derrogative name for Vietnamese?
Why do Chinese officials commit corruption? Expert contributor Russ Moses examines some examples given by the People's Daily newspaper.
Xi Jinping's renewed attention to county leaders shows that he's relying on local officials to play a pivotal role in implementing his program.
In the midst of the stock market turmoil, the risk of Chinese money laundering is greater than ever, writes expert contributor Stanley Lubman.
Is China's economic reform dead? Daniel H. Rosen argues that such proclamations are premature -- and that Xi Jinping has no choice but to push forward.
China's continued stock market instability might not turn out to be dreadful news for President Xi Jinping's chosen agenda

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Since Tony Gonzalez played college football and basketball at Cal, a return trip to familiar territory always is special.
Such will be the case Monday night, when Gonzalez and his Atlanta Falcons visit San Francisco to play the 49ers.
"Obviously going back to the Bay-area -- went to (Cal) Berkeley out there -- that's where it all started for me," Gonzalez said. "It's nostalgic for me. Every time I go to Oakland or San Francisco, I see people on the sideline or in stands back from when I was out in that area. It's fun."
This will be the final road game for the California native, who will retire this year after 17 NFL seasons. It also will be the final regular-season game played at Candlestick Park.
"I was a big fan of the Raiders because I was down in L.A-Orange County, but we also watched a lot of the 49ers on television," Gonzalez said. "Seen Joe Montana drive, Jerry Rice, Brent Jones, the tight end out there, (John) Taylor, Roger Craig.
"It was some great teams, and a lot of fun to watch when I was a kid growing up."
Gonzalez said he has to get about 20 tickets for family and friends for Monday night's game. And he'll need even more for the season-finale against the Carolina Panthers at the Georgia Dome in two weeks. The Falcons are sure to pay tribute to the future Hall of Famer that day.
Gonzalez continues to take a business-as-usual approach daily as his career nears the end. The 37-year-old still tweaks some of his daily routine to make sure he is fresh for his final run.
"This week was the first week that I've ever done it in my whole career, where I'm stretching at night before I go to bed," he said. "Trying to get better. Trying to improve.
"And the ceiling here in the locker room is 11 feet. Yesterday, I made a bet with Roddy White, and he bet I couldn't touch it, because I haven't touched it in three years. ...I'm trying to do whatever I can to be the best player I can be, especially with these last two weeks."
Gonzalez was asked how he wants to be remembered as a player.
"I think (as) consistent," he said. "It's never been about numbers to me. It's never been about milestones or records. ...For the most part, it's been about that routine. And I want people to remember that about me: my routine; the way I approached it. Because that's what makes you great. The numbers and everything else are a byproduct of your routine.
"It's what I believe in. It's what I've studied. The greats -- Michael Jordan, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Warren Buffett in business -- that's what makes you great is having a great routine."
Gonzalez wouldn't reveal what the wager with White was, but he said there was cash involved. It would be a safe bet to say Gonzalez will win. Besides, he's soared to new heights throughout his career, so there's no reason for him to stop now.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum announced today that he will once again be running for president. And why not, since while he failed to clinch the Republican nomination in 2012, by coming in second place to Mitt Romney he helped resuscitate a political career that had ended with a blowout reelection defeat in 2006. In the meantime, Santorum has been writing for the conspiracy theory website WorldNetDaily and managing, not very successfully, a Christian film studio.

Several months ago, fact-checkers completely debunked one of Rick Santorum's talking points, that all of the net new jobs created in the U.S. since 2000 went to immigrants. However, just because the contention has absolutely no factual basis, doesn't mean the former senator and likely presidential candidate has stopped making the claim. Santorum trotted out the dishonest talking point once again during his speech today to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. Not only did Santorum push the patently false claim, he then blamed Democrats for the mythical problem of... MORE >

Japan's Fighting & Entertainment Group (FEG) had everything it needed to make sure its mixed martial arts promotion DREAM was a success.
Well, almost everything.
FEG secured a prime time spot on Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS), one of Japan's top five TV networks and littered its fight cards with Japanese fan-favorites like Shinya Aoki, Ikuhisa Minowa and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic.
What it didn't have was enough people to actually care about its product.
The rabid fan base that was so desperate for a non-UFC fight promotion since the demise of PRIDE FC was a no-show. Either that, or the fan base was grotesuqely overestimated.
Is mixed martial arts in Japan a thing of the past?
In an attempt to prove its drawing power, DREAM 6 was aiming for a minimum 12.0 rating for its sixth event but had to settle for a much lower 9.0 - a mere .1 above it's 8.9 debut back in March.
DREAM has underperformed in all three of its contracted four television events, prompting FEG's Sadaharu Tanikawahas to consider dissolving the company if they eventually lose their television contract.
With their inability to hit their target numbers, it almost seems like a foregone conclusion.
On paper, DREAM 6 was a can't-miss. Unfortunately the show as a whole was average, with a quick ending to the middleweight grand prix and a dissappointing no-contest between Mirko Cro Cop and Alistair Overeem.
Add to that an abundance of commercials during the TBS broadcast (and a choppy, watered down presentation on HDnet) and fans were left with little reason to come back for more.
And fans aside, why should fighters continue to come back for more?
Several DREAM combatants are still crying foul over back wages, including a very public report by Seoul Sports earlier this month.
I guess there still wasn't enough money to pay the actual fighters after dumping a pallet of cash onto Fedor Emelianenko's yacht for his brief cameo at DREAM 6.
FEG had plans to hold its fourth televised event on New Year's Eve. If you're a fan, I suggest finding a way to watch it. It could be the last time you see mixed martial arts in Japan.

Spanx for the memories! Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy play cop buddies in new comedy from the director of Bridesmaids
When a comedic team like Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy pair up, it's got to be good.
Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy co-star in the upcoming comedy The Heat as a couple of mismatched cops who clash, bump heads - and beer glasses - and wind up the best of friends as they chase down a Russian mobster.
And you'll get the chance to see Bullock, 48, as you've never seen her before when 42-year-old McCarthy reveals her characters spanx!
Scroll down to watch trailer...
Comical cops: Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy team up in the upcoming comedy The Heat and a newly released trailer gives a peek into their zany antics
Bonding: Sandra and Melissa play cops who start off on the wrong foot but find they have lots in common
The first newly released trailer shows insight into just how winningly zany the plot is: Sandra plays FBI agent Katerina James who is shuffled to Boston and teamed up with a crude and rude, toughtalking street cop named Detective Joyce Nelson, played by Melissa.
Melissa is the former star of TV's Mike & Molly who won accolades for her hilariously offbeat role in last year's Bridesmaids.
She matches Sandra's comedic timing so perfectly.
In the trailer the two stars get down and dirty pulling off shakedowns, firing off their guns, dodging bullets, running from car explosions while indulging in some off-duty drunk dancing and breaking glass as well.
Sandra, as you've never seen her before: Melissa's character gets to grips with Bullock's cop's Spanx
Hanging out: Melissa and Sandra look like they're having fun holding onto the legs of a perpetrator
Hard work: Sandra and Melissa fire guns and dodge bullets in their new film, due out April 5
Getting along: Sandra and Melissa got to kick up their heels during one drunken girls' night out scene
They even hold a man over a fire escape and end up dropping him.
In another scene, Melissa pulls down Sandra's pants in the ladies' room, revealing a pair of Spanx.
'What are those?' Melissa asks and Sandra replies, 'They're Spanx! They hold everything in!'
The movie, which is set for an April 5 release, is directed by Paul Feig, the man behind the hit chick flick Bridesmaids.
Don't mess with McCarthy! Melissa got to manhandle one poor guy in this scene
In charge: Sandra tries to lead her team in this scene, but they're not very good listeners
Roughing it: Sandra's role required her to use lots of physical comedy, which she excels at
'They're badass,' director Feig tells Eonline's Marc Malkin. 'It's a very physical movie and they both bring their violence about in different ways.
'I just let them run and do their thing," Feig said. "Their chemistry was so quick and good right off the bat. They're like best friends now. They really became the best of friends.'
Much of the film was shot on location in Boston last summer, which led to some problems.
One day filming had to be temporarily halted so police could deal with a fatal stabbing that occurred near the set.
On another occasion, a MBTA bus crashing into a parked production truck on the set causing chaos.

RADNOR, Pa., Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC) today announced enhancements to Lincoln LifeReserve® Indexed UL (IUL) Accumulator, a life insurance product issued by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. The product is designed to provide the protection of life insurance with the opportunity to build cash value that can be used as income.
Enhancements to Lincoln LifeReserve® IUL Accumulator include a new fixed loan alternative, which expands clients' accumulation and distribution options to fit varying or changing risk profiles1. Lincoln LifeReserve® IUL Accumulator is now also available with Lincoln's recently introduced Lincoln LifeEnhance℠ Accelerated Benefits Rider for clients concerned about unexpected permanent chronic or terminal illness expenses2.
"In today's economic climate, the need to accumulate assets and strengthen income potential for life's expected and unexpected financial scenarios is as great as ever," said Michael Burns, Senior Vice President, Insurance Solutions, Lincoln Financial Group. "At the same time, many risk-averse consumers are seeking principal protection, which has given way to IUL products becoming one of the industry's fastest growing segments. As this trend unfolds, Lincoln LifeReserve® IUL Accumulator continues to gain traction in the market. Our latest enhancements offer even greater income predictability along with added flexibility for clients to tailor the product to their specific needs and stage of life."
With Lincoln LifeReserve® IUL Accumulator, policy holders can take loans, borrowing up to 100 percent of the cash surrender value at any time during the life of the policy. The new fixed loan option offers a guaranteed interest credited rate of 2 percent in all years and guaranteed interest charged rate of 3 percent for the first ten years, with zero net-cost loans in policy years 11 and following. The fixed loan option complements the product's existing "participating" loan feature in which all borrowed and unborrowed policy value continues to earn interest while the loan balance is charged guaranteed loan interest. Clients can take advantage of conversion options, which allow for the greater growth potential of the participating loan during the income phase, and the stability of the fixed loan in later years.
Lincoln LifeReserve® IUL Accumulator is the latest Lincoln product available with the Lincoln LifeEnhanceSM Accelerated Benefits Rider (ABR). The Lincoln LifeEnhanceSM ABR is designed to provide access to tax-advantaged funds in the event of an unexpected permanent chronic or terminal illness once the claims criteria have been met. In cases of permanent chronic illness, clients can access 100 percent of the gross death benefit if monthly payments are elected. For terminal illness, policy holders can access 50 percent of the death benefit up to a maximum of $250,000.
According to LIMRA, IUL was the biggest driver of total individual life insurance premium growth in the second quarter of 2012 with industry sales of IUL increasing 37 percent. Over the past year, Lincoln's IUL products have seen sales increase by 130 percent3.
Lincoln LifeReserve® IUL Accumulator offers death benefit protection and cash value growth potential that is tied to the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Since policy values are not invested directly in the market, policy holders are protected from negative returns caused by market downturns with a guaranteed minimum interest rate.
The latest enhancements to Lincoln LifeReserve® Indexed UL Accumulator are immediately available to Lincoln's national network of distribution partners.
Failure to maintain to maturity.
You will need to maintain a minimum amount of cash surrender value in the policy to keep it from lapsing. Exercising certain policy features (such as loans, withdrawals, or skipped premiums) may reduce cash surrender values and death benefits, may have tax implications, and may cause the policy to lapse. If the policy does lapse, the total amount of loans due would be considered taxable income.
Participation rate — Lincoln guarantees a 100% participation rate for the indexed interest crediting.
Surrender and other charges, apply for nine years from the date of issue or increase; and will vary based on age, gender and risk class. They decrease over the nine-year period.
Definition of death benefit.
- Death Benefit Option 1 (level face amount)
- Death Benefit Option 2 (face amount plus account value)
Loans or withdrawals offset death benefits under either of these.
There is a no-lapse guarantee provision available at an additional charge. This guarantee ensures that your policy will not lapse and your death benefit will remain in-force for 10 years even if your policy's cash surrender value is less than your monthly fee deductions, as long as the cumulative premium requirement is met. It ensures that your beneficiaries will receive a minimum death benefit of $10,000. You must maintain positive cash surrender value or the policy may lapse. By paying only the premium required to satisfy the no-lapse guarantee, you may forego the opportunity to build cash value.
Policy does not directly participate in investments.
Guaranteed minimum rate.
Excess interest formula.
Caps and floors on excess interest
There are currently three choices for indexed accounts and a Fixed Account. Each indexed account calculates interest differently, based on the performance of the S&P 500 Index.
The indexed accounts offer potential gains based on S&P 500 Index performance. There's no direct exposure to the stock market.
Lincoln LifeReserve® Indexed UL Accumulator, is issued on policy form UL5062/ICC12UL5062 with optional rider form number ABR-5762, and state variations by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, Fort Wayne, IN, and distributed by Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc., a broker/dealer. Not available in all states.
Policies sold in New York are issued on policy form UL5062N by Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York, Syracuse, NY, and distributed by Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc., a broker/dealer.
This rider is not long-term care insurance nor is it intended to replace the need for long-term care insurance. The benefits are supplementary to the primary need for death benefit protection. The rider may not cover all of the costs associated with the chronic illness of the insured. The benefits of the rider are limited by the policy's death benefit at the time of claim, long-term care insurance does not typically contain this limitation.
All guarantees and benefits of the insurance policy are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. They are not backed by the broker/dealer and/or insurance agency selling the policy, or any affiliates of those entities other than the issuing company affiliates, and none make any representations or guarantees regarding the claims-paying ability of the issuer.

East Chicago Avenue
Opinion: Editorials
When you think of retail meccas in Oak Park, we guarantee that Chicago Avenue east of Ridgeland is not popping to mind as a choice destination. There's Domino's and a 7-Eleven, a place that sells ice cream bars by the case and a State Farm guy. Go further east toward Austin Boulevard and the disconnect between Oak Park and Austin comes into sharper relief even though there are some good shops there.
Now though, a woman who has made a mark buying beat up or ignored homes in Oak Park and then making them shine at a nice profit has turned her intense energy to retail and commercial spaces.
Colleen Maia is the proprietor for the past two years of Bee Home and Garden, a treat of a gift shop at 128 Chicago Ave. She took a two-story, mixed-use building slipping into decay and gave it life and an ascendant property value. Now she is at work on a string of other adjacent buildings in similar dire straits. Based on her prior successes, look for much better days ahead on this faded strip.
While it is exciting to see outside developers arrive in Oak Park with their major projects for already notable intersections, it is positively gratifying to see a neighbor with entrepreneurial spunk and a way with a sledge who can bring new eyes and energy to a neighborhood we've driven through for 25 years while trying not to look too close.

Hope Anan will put his power where is mouth is. He promised to attract businesses and help them stay, so now lets see it happen. Glad to see Chicago Ave. getting some attention. There are plenty of people this side of town that would happily support a "district" that offers quality businesses. The only reason I go is for the 7-11, but I would much rather be attracted by eateries, coffee shops and decent stores.

Bee is fantastic, and Colleen has got the magic touch! I also live near this stretch of Chicago Avenue and would welcome a cafe, etc. It's my understanding that village regulations make operating a simple coffee joint prohibitively expensive for entrepreneurs without oodles of cash. I hope the Wednesday Journal will encourage local government to look for creative ways to make this kind of venture more accessible to locals who want to grow a food service business.
Posted: August 20th, 2014 1:36 PM
Yes, in this much neglected side of Oak Park, Bee is a wonderful addition. Colleen has great taste.

Oak Park is lucky to have Colleen Maia! I grew up on Lombard, just south of Bee, and it is a wonderful, beautiful addition to an already awesome neighborhood.

Product description
HMS Royal Oak was a Revenge-class battleship of the British Royal Navy, infamously torpedoed at anchor by the German submarine U-47 on 14 October 1939. Royal Oak was anchored at Scapa Flow in Orkney, Scotland when she became the first of the five Royal Navy battleships and battle cruisers sunk in the Second World War. The loss of life was heavy: of Royal Oak's complement of 1,234 men and boys, 833 were killed that night or died later of their wounds. The raid made an immediate celebrity and war hero out of the German U-boat commander, Gunther Prien, who became the first submarine officer to be awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. To the British, the raid demonstrated that the Germans were capable of bringing the naval war to their home waters, and the shock resulted in rapidly arranged changes to dockland security. Now lying upside-down in 30 m of water with her hull 5 m beneath the surface, Royal Oak is a designated war grave. Includes 103 Photographs

Euro Cup and National Women's Soccer League enthrall women's soccer fans
By Val Servino–
The Euro Cup enthralled soccer fans across the world this past summer when Spain claimed victory, making them the only team to earn gold in the World Cup and consecutive Euro Cups. The excitement continues.
The 2013 Women's Euro Cup tournament is to be held in Sweden, from July 10 to 28. After over a year of qualification matches it has been decided that Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, and Sweden will compete for the Cup. The tournament will open with a match up between Italy and Finland in Halmstad, Sweden. Tickets for the 2013 Women's Euro Cup will go on sale Feb. 13, 2013.
Also in international news, after a 2011 proposal by FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, an amendment to the FIFA Statutes was approved at the 2012 Congress to appoint an additional female Executive Committee member. The four confederations governed by FIFA submitted their candidate nominations for election at this year's FIFA Congress.
The candidates are: Moya Dodd of the Asian Football Confederation, Lydia Nsekera of the Confederation of African Football, Sonia Bien-Aime of the Confederation of North American and Caribbean Association Football and Paula Kearns of the Oceanic Football Confederation.
The U.S. Women's National Team faces Scotland in two international friendlies, with head coach Tom Sermanni leading the team against his homeland. The first game, played on Feb. 9, ended in a U.S. victory of 4-1. The next game will kick off in Nashville, Tenn. on Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. EST. The game will be streamed live on USSoccer.com.
On Feb. 1, 2013, the U.S. Soccer Federation released the draft order for the NWSL's 2013 Supplemental Draft held six days later. The Washington Spirit received the first pick, followed by Seattle Reign FC, Boston Breakers, Chicago Red Stars, Sky Blue FC, FC Kansas City, Western New York Flash and Portland Thorns FC. The D.C.-based team chose Stephanie Ochs, a striker who was the No. 3 draft pick in the 2012 Women's Professional Soccer College Draft out of her senior year at the University of San Diego. Many other players picked up in the Supplemental Draft have been without a team since WPS went under.
Notable veteran draftees are Natasha Kai, Lindsay Tarpley and Nikki Krzysik. Kai and Krzysik were teammates on the WPS's Philadelphia Independence. Hawaiian-born Natasha Kai was a leading scorer in the league as a striker, and Nikki Krzysik was the team captain. Kai won gold at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 with the U.S. Women's National Team. Lindsay Tarpley, an experienced international soccer player, tore her ACL in a friendly leading into the 2011 Women's World Cup and subsequently missed the tournament. She has not played competitively since her injury. While she was able to return to the pitch last year, she chose not to as she and her husband, U.S. Girls Under-17 coach B.J. Snow, were expecting a child.

Below I share my experience converting a regular lady bike to an electric trailer equipped bike.
This was intended to transport around 6 bottles of water (5 Liter/1.3 gallon each).
Step 1: The ideia
Step 2: And some measures to manfacture
Step 3: The choice of the electric kit
The specs are 24 V, 250 W. Because I ordered it from US, I paid a lot in Customs :-) I'll have the numbers in the end.
Step 4: The emotion is about to start!
Step 5: Installation of the batteries
Step 6: The controller box
Step 7: Now the trailer...
It was not that perfect but then I painted it black and so the welding defects became discreet :-)
Step 8: And the most difficult...the trailer hitch!
Step 9: The solution for the hitch
Step 10: Thank you!
EZGlide Electric Kit: 377,50 €
Customs (came from US): 225 €
Material and electricity: 50 € est.
Shop support: 30 €
Total: 682,5 €
Profit = 150 - 682,5 = -532,5 € :-)
It help us understand why it is so difficult to be an enterpreneur.
The best!
PS: the picture here was taken with the dutch type lock, not the final hose type hitch.
