Fort Sill gang dispute intensifies
LAWTON — A high-ranking Fort Sill officer criticized Lawton's gang task force unit leader Monday for claiming there are a growing number of gang members stationed at Fort Sill. Col. Robert Bridgford – Fort Sill's liaison with Lawton – issued a blistering written statement in which he said Lt. Darrell Southerland released "information to the media that was completely inaccurate and totally outdated." Bridgford further claimed that "no Fort Sill soldier has been arrested or implicated in gang activity within the past year" and that military police "have not received information specific to any Fort Sill soldier alleged to be a member of a gang or having been involved in gang-related activities." Southerland's comments appeared in a story published Sunday in The Oklahoman. Bridgford issued his statement late Monday afternoon after a closed-door meeting earlier in the day with Lawton Mayor John Purcell, City Manager Larry Mitchell, Chief of Police Ronnie Smith and Southerland, a 20-year veteran who oversees the city's gang task force unit. Purcell declined to comment on what was said during the meeting, and Mitchell and Smith didn't return repeated messages left by The Oklahoman. Southerland, who has been ordered not to speak to the press, described in an interview last week a far different world than the one Bridgford described. Southerland said he has warned Fort Sill officials for years about the widespread gang problem, and has even conducted seminars on post. "I think the problem is much bigger than Fort Sill even realizes or wants to admit," Southerland said last week, adding that a crackdown on gang members at Fort Sill would take a "serious commitment" of resources. Southerland's unit has logged more than 1,600 gang members from the Lawton/Fort Sill community based on arrests, tattoos, photographs, and informants. A large number of those positively identified as gang members are soldiers, Southerland said. The lieutenant also noted a gang shooting outside a Lawton nightclub as recent as January in which one man — a soldier — died. Southerland said the victim was a Blood gang member. "Is there a problem with gangs?" Purcell said. "I would agree. They (Fort Sill officials) never said there wasn't a problem, but it's not on the scale reported." City councilman Randy Warren rode with the gang task force one night last winter. "We made four different gang-related stops — two were military," Warren said. "One guy had a 9 mm automatic pistol on him with a clip between his legs. He was flying his gang colors. "The other guy was stopped in a Walmart parking lot. He had an Army ID and a loaded pistol. They took off his shirt. He had gang tattoos all over, and they took pictures for their files." Warren said he hopes something positive will come out of Southerland's warnings. "I don't for one minute think they (Fort Sill officials) don't want to fix the problem," Warren said. "I just don't think they are structured to fix the problem. For one thing, you're dealing with a chain of command. How much of this stuff on the street level ever gets up the chain of command?"

"A little piece of Paradize" Central Croatia by Letra
Central Croatia Travel Guide: 418 reviews and 1,529 photos
As a matter of fact there are only 4 hotels in the outskirts of Brela that has only 1,000 inhabitants. Along the sea front to one direction you can find private houses which host people for the summer and in the other direction the "center" with 2 mini supermarkets and foreign exchange. There is no Chemist's, the nearest one is in Bashka Voda wich is about 30 minutes on foot along the sea so it is a good way to take essential medicine with you.
Hotels Menistral and Marina are next to each other. The Minestral is smaller but there is a swimming pool there which in fact few use as there is a beautiful sea with pine trees growing on the beach just a few meters from the hotel. All the entertainment takes place in the Minestral. The Marina hotel is bigger but quieter. Nice rooms with modern bath facilities and deep balconies that is why even on the Sun side the sun didn't get in the room. The rooms are quite spacious and air conditioned. The restauran offers wide varieties of dishes and on the beach you can always eat something in nice restaurants facing the sea.
The hotel is sarrounded with pine trees and they give terrific smell at night. There are a few blocks there and the best is D which is closest to the sea and the pine trees come up to it very closely. Sitting on the balcony you can smell the beautiful sent of the sea and the trees.
If you want to enjoy the best smell of the pine-trees it is better to come from the 1st of July on. But at this time there are already more people. In June the weather isn't so stable but there are fewer people and you can enjoy fantastic thunderstorms with lightnings cutting the skies above the mountains.
There is a walking pass along the sea - more than 5 km so you have a choice where to swim. Personally I got up early in the morning and walked 40 minuts along the coast enjoying the morning coolness. There are a lot of benches in the shadow of pine trees and rocks where you can hide in the afternoon from the heat of the sun. I also liked to spend day hours in the forest on the slope of the mountains.
For about 1.5 hours I was alone on the beach. The water is very clear everywhere and the sea is clean. The beaches are pebble that is why many people wear special rubber slippers but I did without them. Walking on the pebble give you a fine massage free! :-) On big stones in water there are sea urchins but if you are careful you can easily avoid stepping on them.
If you are lazy to walk :-) you can as well remain on the beach in fron of the hotels as my friend did.
There are a lot of excursions you can take if you are tired of unwinding at the sea. You can go to the National Botanic park whcih is on the mountain towering above Brela. Of course Plitvinsky Lakes are worth seeing. Not far there is a mediaval town Dubrovnik with its nice winding streets.
If you like you can also go rafting along a picturesque river not far from Brela. It cuts its way in high rocks. Waterfalls in another national park Kirka are also impressive.
Of course it is possible to book excursions but if you are not afraid of driving along winding roads in the mountains it is a good idea to rent a car. The third option is to travel on your own. You can always catch a mini bus which can take you to some towns along the coast. But since the buses don't have regular time-table you can waist a lot of time waiting for it.
Croatian people are very friendly and they care about preserving their nature.

Sunil Grover, whose comedy show Mad In India is all set to take off on the small screen, recently shot an episode with yoga guru Baba Ramdev. He is also said to have recorded an episode with singers Udit Narayan and Mika.
The episode featuring Baba Ramdev is likely to go on air in the first few weeks of the much-anticipated show, which will be telecast by Star Plus.
The interview is said to be a laugh riot.
"Sunil Grover first met Baba Ramdev during an interactive session at an event of a Hindi news channel Aaj Tak. They hit it off like a house on fire. Ramdev loved Grover's one-liners. Grover took yoga tips from Ramdev, promising to bring him on his show once it starts," said a source.
For the show, Sunil would be dressed as his new female avatar Chutki while conversing with Baba Ramdev.
One of the episodes will feature Udit Narayan and Mika on the same stage.
"The idea is to bring on guests who are not Bollywood stars. To ensure the profile of Sunil's show is different from Kapil Sharma's show," the source added.
Sunil was earlier part of Comedy Nights with Kapil and was loved for his role as Gutthi in the comical entertainer.

Let's see how the Canon 1.4X Extender II compares to the new Extender III.
Test scene
Right off the bat, we can see that the new Extender III has much lower barrel distortion than the Extender II, very apparent in the corners.
In addition, the field of view is narrower on the Extender III, meaning that its focal length is slightly longer. Some of this is attributable to the reduced barrel distortion, but it also appears to be a real difference in magnification.

On the density of Banach spaces with the Grothendieck property
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Using the method of forcing we prove that consistently there is a Banach space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space with the Grothendieck property and with density less than the continuum. It follows that the classical result stating that ``no nontrivial complemented subspace of a Grothendieck space is separable'' cannot be strengthened by replacing ``is separable'' by ``has density less than that of '', without using an additional set-theoretic assumption. Such a strengthening was proved by Haydon, Levy and Odell, assuming Martin's axiom and the negation of the continuum hypothesis. Moreover, our example shows that certain separation properties of Boolean algebras are quite far from the Grothendieck property.

With "Girls" actor Adam Driver allegedly set to play the villain of "Star Wars: Episode VII," attention has turned to the series' new hero.
Five new names are in the mix to play one of the lead characters in director J.J. Abrams' upcoming installment of the "Star Wars" films. The role is expected to be a Jedi apprentice, according to Variety — and one of the actors in contention is already a familiar quantity where the "Star Wars" rumor mill is concerned.
Up first, Jesse Plemons . The "Breaking Bad" and "Friday Night Lights" veteran was mentioned as a "Star Wars" contender as far back as January, with rumors suggesting he could play Luke Skywalker's son, or at least his trainee. Whatever the case, it appears he remains in the mix.
Next, John Boyega. He's best known for his starring role in "Attack the Block," written and directed by Joe Cornish, once rumored to take over the "Star Trek" director reins from Abrams. That strange bit of symmetry aside, Boyega was an absolute all-star in "Attack the Block," breaking out as a fully-realized action star dealing with self-doubting insecurity. He's an excellent, left-of-center pick for "Star Wars," should Abrams and Disney pick him for the film's lead.
The other three actors are less exposed than Plemons and Boyega: "Downton Abbey" actor Ed Speleers, and stage actors Matthew James Thomas and Ray Fisher. These five actors are supposedly at "the top of the list" for the "Star Wars" lead, but it's also possible that the search is ongoing. For now, as with all things "Star Wars," nothing is final until further notice.
Which of these five actors could you see as the "Star Wars" hero?

The new Apple Store coming soon to San Francisco appears to be making decent progress. Leo Cheng snapped a nice photo from Solano Labs across the street from the new location and tweeted it at us. The store still looks like a hot mess, but the workers are apparently working on the glass doors for the entrance in this picture. Take a look.
How Apple keeps crappy cases off its shelves
Apple put up a new page on its website detailing the qualifications that third-party iPhone and iPad accessory makers must meet before the company will start selling those products in retail stores or online in the Apple Store. It's not exactly the easiest process to meet Apple's high quality standards. In fact, Apple now touts that these cases are "tested to the limit" before they make it on store shelves.
Peek inside the just-opened Apple Store Upper East Side
A New York building that once housed a bank has been transformed into a pristine Apple boutique. The Apple Store Upper East Side opened Saturday morning, giving a swarm of shoppers a chance to try on an Apple Watch in the former bank vault.
There's no question that when you walk into this store, it's to buy something high-end and fashionable. Take a look at the Instagram photos taken during today's grand opening.
Watch The Apple Store Take Over The Planet In This Cool Animated Map
Considering their nearly ubiquitous status in retail cuture, it's easy to forget that the Apple Store is a relatively new creation. Although Apple brought in over $7 billion in revenue last quarter across 400 physical locations, the first one was opened in just 2001… but ever since then, the Apple Store has spread like wildfire across the planet.
Here's a great reminder of how far Apple has come, courtesy of Business Insider. Watch this animated map showing Apple Stores' openings internationally. Check out how far the greatest retail success story since Wal-Mart has come!

Ask An Apple Genius: The Top 3 Questions At The Genius Bar
This is the very first column for Cult of Mac written by an actual Apple retail store genius. Our genius must remain anonymous, but other than "Who are you, anyway?" ask anything you want about what goes on behind that slick store facade.
Answers will be published first in Cult of Mac's Magazine on Newsstand. Send your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com with "genius" in the subject line.
To start this off, we asked the Genius, "What are the top 3 questions you get asked at work at the Apple Store?"
Here they are:
1. When is the new iPhone/iPad/Mac coming out?
We're not allowed to divulge anything about upcoming products, or address rumors. If we even talk about rumors with customers we could lose our jobs. When a customer asks if I know when a new product is coming out, my response is simply, "We don't know when it's coming out. We find out when everyone else does, when it's announced."
But don't you really know?
No. We all read the same rumors as you do, but Apple's not going to tell employees at the Apple Store when stuff is coming out because how many of us would leak it? We would instantly tell our friends and ruin Apple's marketing plans, so they won't tell us until the day Apple announces it publicly.
2. Do I have to make an appointment? Can't I just come in?
Company policy is that yes, we can accept walk-in appointments. But truly, can we? Not always. Some days we have a full day of open reservations for customers to fill in as scheduling allows. Other days you might have to come back a couple hours later for an open reservation.
The Genius Bar is a lot like a car dealership service center. You can't just drive up to Toyota and ask for your Camry to be serviced without an appointment. Most of the time you need an appointment for those things because there's a limited number of technicians.
Bottom line, the easiest way to get into the Apple Store Genius Bar is to make an appointment. Go onto the website or use the Apple Store app and you can get seen right away instead of waiting for hours if you just come by.
3. Am I really getting a NEW iPhone when I pay $49 for Apple to replace a broken iPhone covered by AppleCare+?
My line is that, yes, it is a new iPhone, but Apple terms and conditions state that "Apple may use parts or products that are new or equivalent to new in reliability and performance," meaning the iPhone you're getting is really "reconditioned," not straight from the factory like it is when you buy a brand new iPhone.
We're told to say that they aren't "refurbished" because they've been totally gutted down to the frame. Apple's stance is that they really are brand new devices, in the sense that they get a new enclosure, display, and innards, but there are a lot of parts that have been recycled from old iPhones, like the metal frame and some other parts.
We know they're just rebuilding them. I've seen some that had a screw missing, others with a bad display, but it's only been a small percentage. I've seen reconditioned iPhones that lasted twice as long as a new iPhone, so they're not necessarily worse.

Perfect location. Loved it. The condo was lovely and perfect for us. Clean, bright, nicely furnished - couldn't have asked for anything better. The pool was very nice, though the hot tub was cloudy at times. We would stay here again definitely! The beach club access was a great bonus.

"Palmar Del Sol and Playa Del Carmen is The Best!!"
I love Playa del Carmen and I loved Palmar del Sol #308! The apt was perfectly situated in Playa. It in the middle of the good part of Playa, near music, best restaurants, and away from cruise ship and bus drop off. It allowed us easy access to Las Palapas Beach Club (best stretch of the beach). The apartment set up was nice and spacious. Husband is a chef and we cooked several nights for up to 15 people and had enough seating and tableware for everyone. Decor is simple and modern. Has access to a beautiful roof top with a large table. Too bad the BBQ did not work too well and building water tank ran dry...but otherwise it was a really nice place. This is our 10th year to visit to Playa del Carmen. It never gets old. The town keeps growing; crowd is lively
and international. So far Playa has kept the giant hotels away that has ruined other beach towns in Mexico. It still makes me sad to see there McDonald's and Subway in town but good there are so many new and innovative Mexican and International restaurants of all price ranges. When we are not cooking, we would go to some of our favorite spots for breakfast like Cafe Celine, just under Palmar del Sol, or Cueva de Changa very nearby. Palmar del Sol's manager,Simona is great! Simona and her team are great at making sure we have what we needed to make our stay comfortable. We had 5 people in our group and we each loved the apartment. Each time we come here, we wish we could live there. Warning: if you don't like loud music and people having fun all night long around you, this is not for you during the holidays. This place is next to Mamita Beach and other similar beach clubs. We love that it is has this club like atmosphere near. It keeps the place new and interesting.

"Great family vacation"
We truly enjoyed our stay at Palmar del Sol. We traveled with two families (4 adults, one teenager, and 2 small children). The condo had sufficient space for all of us and dinner on the balcony (cooked in the full kitchen) each night was fantastic. The location of the property, with 5th avenue right outside your door, the pool downstairs, and the beach a short walk next door was perfect.
The only concern was the shower in the master bath was cold water. However, the second bathroom was fine, and we all shared.
I would recommend it to others and hope to return soon.

Dear family!!
thank you very much for your review!
Your comments will help us to get new renters!
We will fix the water problem and hope this caused not too much trouble during your vacation.
It will be a pleasure for us receiving you as our guest a second time at Palmar del Sol!
With kind regards,

"Exceeded our Expectations"
The condo exceeded our expectations, the location was just off avenida 5, the "pedestrian only" street where we walked every evening to a different restaurant for dinner. The roof top terrace was great but you could walk down to the pool to cool off or head to the ocean, which was a short walk. The condo had everything we needed, Laura and Simona were very helpful, as was everyone from the security guards at night to Simona with housekeeping. Can't say enough good things about the condo, the people and the Playa del Carmen area. Excellent, we will definitely return.

"Fabulous condo in a great location"
This is a beautiful condo, well equipped, nice views from the roof deck. Very spacious, modern, and clean. We used the Las Palapas Hotel beach facilities almost every day (a 3-minute walk to the beach). You're right on 5th ave, which has restaurants/bars/cafes/shopping/car rental/etc. Simona and staff were very nice and helpful!
I struggled between a 4- and 5- star rating. The only reason I dropped to 4 star is noise at night. The Cuban bar below has live music which can go late, and it did keep us up for the first couple nights. If you want rolling waves or super quiet at night, this unit will not satisfy you every night. I do not know how the other units are, as our bedrooms faced the bar.
(The Cuban bar has excellent food, so you'll need to try it! And don't forget to explore 5th ave north of the condo.)

Dear Guest,

For a future visit, we will offer you an apartment facing to the garden side only, to avoid the music at night from the Cuban Restaurante.

"We didn't miss anything from home in this well equiped condo."
We stayed in unit 308 and found it spacious and modern. Check in was easy and Laura the customer service rep was oh so polite and professional. I love how she stressed that we call her for anything that needed addressed. We never felt like we were bothering her for any questions we had. The doorman and cleaning service always looked happy and very polite. Now as far as the condo we are used to unwinding at night by watching t.v and it was nice how everyone got to have their own t.v. I know to a lot of people t.v is not a big deal but to us it's a must at night before going to sleep.
We did not do much cooking but the little I did prepare I missed nothing from my kitchen at home. Blender, Margarita and shot glasses too! The condo had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals. Balcony is huge and so was our roof top. We would love to go back with a bigger group to really enjoy the roof top. Now one of the reasons I picked this unit in the first place was because it looked very child friendly and I liked that they provided a highchair, baby tub and playpen where the baby could sleep. The only two things I had to watch carefully for were the floors that when wet were very slippery so be careful coming out of the shower and have the bath floor towel ready. Second the cords to open and close the shades were long and had to put them up during our stay so my 18 month and 3 and half year old would not try to play with them. The walk to the beach was about 10-15 minutes long depending on how fast you walked. The 2nd reason I picked Palmar del Sol is because we could use Las Palapas Hotel Beach front without having to pay their 200 per person peso fee. Las Palapas Beach front was beautiful and the waitstaff and hostess Laura (another Laura) very polite. Sand so soft and water so blue! So many great things to say about this unit I can go on and on.

"Excelente lugar y ubicación"
Me hospedé en este extraordinario condominio con mi esposa y mis tres hijos pequeños. Estuvimos dos semanas y disfrutamos del servicio, las comodidades y la buena atención que nos brindaron. El departamento tiene todo lo que uno pudiera necesitar para pasar unas excelentes vacaciones. Seguramente volveremos por muchas temporadas más!
"Great apartment in a great location!"
Very well furnished luxury apartment in a fabulous location just off 5th avenue. It was within walking distance of all shops, bars restaurants but far enough away from the main strip so as not to be disturbed by noise. Having access to the hotel's beach amenities( a 5 minute walk)was a real bonus. The apartment was cleaned 3 times when we were there and the staff were very helpful and nice. There is a huge roof terrace which we found really handy also - especially if it looked like rain and you didn't know if you should chance the beach! You can get picked up for excursions at the Royal hotel which is just around the corner from the apartment. All in all a great stay!

"Beautiful 2BR Condo, Great Location and Service"
My husband and I just returned from Playa del Carmen last night. We had an great stay in Palmar del Sol #308.
Pros: Great location for us - north end of 5th, not far from anything but not in the party zone; we liked this end of 5th the best! We walked everywhere easily. Great Italian, French, Cuban, Mexican and argentinian restaurants nearby. Enjoyed the best part of the beach! Access to Las Palapas was key - beautiful walk through their grounds to the beach, chairs and fresh beach towels daily. Secure, squeaky clean condo with colorful and tasteful decor, beautiful furnished wrap-around balcony and huge rooftop terrace with grill, tables and chairs. Very friendly, efficient and helpful staff on site. Great clean, large pool area. We used the pool and hot tub often- very private. Never crowded. We loved cooking breakfast in the morning then eating out every night. A few families and couples in the complex. No spring break crowds.
Cons: We gave 4 stars for comfort for two small reasons. Afternoon showers were seldom warm and the beds were a bit hard. Also, there's a night club 1/2 block away that plays live music until midnight or after 6 nights a week. I'm a very light sleeper so could hear it even with windows closed and aC on. My husband slept fine. I adjusted - it wasn't terrible. Street noise is hard to avoid in Playa - being closer to town was worth it. We would definitely return to Palmar del Sol #308!

"Excelente Lugar Y Mejor atencion"
El departamento con todo lo necesario para disfrutar de unos dias de descanso, es tal y cual se describe en la informacion,
Con una inmejorable ubicacion tanto a la playa como a la 5ta avenida que se encuentra saliendo del edificio,
la alberca limpia de buen tamaño con camastros suficientes, tambien con suficientes camastros y palapas en la playa, los jardines bien cuidadosY amplios, no se puede pedir algo mas.
Algo que dejo aparte es la amabilisima atencion de su personal, siempre atentos y al pendiente de nuestras necesidades, en particular el amigo de recepción (Alejandro o Fernando), Ademas de la honradez de la recamarera. al yo dejar algo de valor sobre la mesa y encontrarlo al regresar al departamento por la noche. (la honradez es algo que se debe dar por hecho, pero hoy en dia es algo que se agradece)
Me quedo con una muy buena impresion de los departamentos palmar del sol, por lo cual no los dudo en recomendar y muy probablemente los volveremos a visitar en otra visita a Playa del Carmen

"A great place to stay."
The apartment was great. Spacious, modern with well equiped kitchen and the air conditioning was a great relief from the heat and humidity of September. The kids loved the pool which was a good size or we took advantage of the access to Las Palapas which had the beach and pool next to each other. Location also great - on 5th avenue so restuarants and shops at your doorstep and close to great beach.
The outstanding feature was the excellent staff who were faultless.

Todo salió conforme a lo estipulado. Al llegar nos estaban esperando para el check-in. El departamento estaba en perfecto estado y limpio. La localización es ideal, ya que se encuentra muy cerca de la playa y de la quinta av., por lo que por la noche es fácil salir a cenar caminando. Volveremos en cuanto se pueda.

Y segunda: Que otros posibles clientes puedan leer su experiencia y convecerse que es la mejor opción para hospedarse en familia o con amigos al visitar Playa del Carmen, sobre todo por nuestra excelente ubicación a una corta distancia caminando de la Quinta Avenida y facilidades que ofrecemos para relajarse en la playa.
Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirlos nuevamente y seguir haciendo de sus vacaciones una experiencia inolvidable.

"Absolutely Super"
We spent 10 days last month in this unit. This was our second stay in Palmar del Sol on a repeat visit to Playa del Carmen. Our trip was on very short notice and the owner responded very quickly to our emails and was super in accommodating us. The condo was true to the photos posted. Being located in the courtyard it is away from street noise yet only steps away from 5th ave and minutes from the beach. The beds were very comfortable, housekeeping satisfactory, and the kitchen well appointed. The high speed internet was always on and allowed us to keep in touch with family at home as well as check up on local restaurants and other entertainment. The pool is quite large, was seldom crowded and the grounds superbly maintained. The local representatives (Simona and Francisco at Riviera Maya) responded quickly to our needs and were most accommodating. The location could not be better: right on the edge of the action on 5th ave, proximity to more restaurants than one could sample in 10 days, and access to Las Palapas facilities. The latter is a significant perk over other condo rentals. You have access to the best beach in PDC, beach chairs under palapas, beach bar and restaurant and you can open an account with Hotel Las Palapas for your food/drink while staying in Palmar del Sol. It is the best of both worlds: a private condo with access to an all inclusive resort right in PDC. Underground parking is available and definitely better than street parking.
This condo is exceptionally well suited for family with teenage children or childless couples or others in between. No car needed as you can walk to all the late night action, all restaurants, supermarket for groceries, the beach where you can walk for hours (do not forget sun protection)
Since we discovered this little gem (Palmar del Sol and Riviera Maya Suites in Playa del Carmen) 5 years ago we have returned annually for an extended stay and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

"Relaxing condo in Playa"
Have stayed at Palmar del Sol several time. It is a great get-away for our family. Ideal location in North Playa in a secured building right on 5th ave. Easy access to the beach and many nice restaurants close by. Service is excellent with friendly staff to help you with your stay. Highly recommend as an alternative to resorts.

My mom didn't just repeat the saying, she embodied it. Among other things, she encouraged me to draw – something I did tirelessly. I used to love to draw trees. Not just "sort of" draw trees–I used to draw every branch, every leaf and detail.
Later on, I saw how the other children drew trees: a simple trunk drawn with two lines and a poofy cloud to represent the leaves – something that could be drawn in a few seconds.
Somehow, after seeing the other children draw trees, I decided that the detailed trees I drew weren't good enough. I stopped drawing the detailed trees that I used to and started to draw trees like the other children.
I found out later that when my mother saw this, she cried.
Fast forward a few years: I was eight-years-old. After attending one of my Little League games, my mother suddenly had a very severe headache. She complained that it was "worse than childbirth."
"I love you," I said to my mom just before my father took her to the hospital. I remember praying so hard that God would spare my mother's life. However, two days later, I watched as my mother, who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, was taken off life support.
Why did my mom die? I have asked this question many times. Could it truly be that my mom was right? That no matter the question, love really is the answer?
My mom's influence, even though she passed away decades ago, is stronger now.
I know a lot about sales. A lot. I have been featured on Forbes, TV, various business blogs, and podcasts. I know how to train salespeople and I will continue to share my knowledge on that subject. But I also know a lot about how little choices make all the difference, and I'm starting to see how love really is the answer to everything. Perhaps only sharing sales knowledge is like only drawing trees the way the other children did. I need to share more. I am going to share important things, and draw trees, the way I see them.
Thank you mom.
Anyone can approach an organization; not everyone can get in. The first step in business-to-business sales is getting in the door. It doesn't matter if you have the greatest product or the most dynamic presentation if you can't get in front of the decision maker.

"During his hour long presentation, EksAyn delivered some of the most insightful, thought provoking principles to B2B sales success that I'd ever heard" -J.B.
"Absolutely wonderful class. EksAyn generated great class excitement and participation which made the class very enjoyable, the exercises were excellent learning tools for the Realtors to apply to their profession. The feedback from the Washington Board of Realtor members who attended was outstanding. EksAyn is 'Awesome' was a comment that was shared by many." ~D. M.
"The Psychology of Sales & Negotiation class taught by EksAyn Anderson was a surprise. I've been through many sales trainings, and I was not expecting to hear anything new. However this class was real. EksAyn discussed real actions and techniques that were not just fluffy ideas, they were down to earth, real things that I could see myself using in my daily negotiations. It was refreshing to have an instructor with so much to teach me, but feel like he was just a friend sharing some tips. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to be a better salesman and negotiator." ~ D. N.
"You're one of the few people who has both talent and true passion for your art. Clearly your gift for captivating an audience, your message itself and ability to convey that message with a natural ease will enable your future success. Without question you had the best presentation, and style at AA-ISP Denver 2015." ~ M. R.
"EksAyn Anderson is one of the most compelling speakers and authors of all time. He knows how to capture his audience's attention and pull them into real-life scenarios that enable users to learn and utilize his training. He recently presented at the Nashville Chapter of Inside Sales Professionals and the group was fascinated by the info covered. The majority of the membership agreed his approached was by far the best they had seen. He kept the participants engaged and energized. Everyone left the meeting excited, interested, and wanting more. Most members purchased his book to gain even more knowledge. He is engaging and knows how to command respect from a group. I would recommend EksAyn to all organizations who want a visionary who can motivate any level of employee because of his teaching and presentation style. He is very reliable. He was so easy to work with and accessible. He is by far one of the best." ~G. H. G.
"I've worked closely with EksAyn and know from firsthand experience that his communication and training skills are among the best available. I specifically remember EksAyn being offered a job from a national retail customer immediately following a training session that he conducted with that customer's employees. That speaks volumes about his ability to deliver a message with impact." ~ T. F.
"I have witnessed EksAyn Anderson first hand deliver a poignant delivery to a target audience to stop throwing away money in rent and buy a home! He went to the masses, door to door (literally) and invited renters to come and hear his message about buying a home! He converted them at their door and then solidified the message at our seminars! He is truly an impeccable public speaker with the ability to convince, open up, and energize an audience like few I have seen before! EksAyn Anderson has the skill set to have an audience see what can be attained and gets them there in a few minutes!" ~ M. W.
The Key to the Gate book "This book has the principles that everyone in sales should be following. EksAyn does a great job at using real life stores and examples to share with the reader a different approach to selling. This is not your typical sales book. Great info a must read." ~ I. B.
The Key to the Gate book "I was actually fortunate enough to read an advance copy of this book and am so glad I did because the ideas have stayed with me for months--and helped me negotiate a local exception to a long standing school board policy on behalf of my daughter. I've been watching for the printed version because I'm eager to have several friends and family members read this book. So glad this is available now! It's an easy read...just and hour or two, but it will save you hours of headaches if you can apply the strategies. The tone is conversational, not condescending or complicated, like you're sitting down with an old sales pro who's actually likable and ethical. I especially like the chapter on "Jijitsu email." This would be a fabulous gift for employees or friends in any sales related business." ~ J. L.

Libraries create memorable experiences and share important programs every day. But what happens when libraries truly focus on the user experience and put it at the center of everything they do?
Excellent service does not simply come from a friendly transaction or helpful technology – it is the result of truly understanding your customer's expectations and putting the right processes and standards in place to achieve them. By uniting your people, place(s) and processes through a clear focus on the user, exceptional service becomes possible across all customer touchpoints. With more than 90 years of world-renowned customer service, no one understands that better than Disney. You'll come away with inspiration on how you can create new and impactful user experiences.
About Disney Institute
As the trusted, authoritative voice on the Disney approach to customer experience, Disney Institute uses business insights and time-tested examples from Disney parks and resorts worldwide to help organizations develop the customer experience culture they are capable of delivering.

Hodgson, unsurprisingly, holds the opposite view, and expressed his frustration in strong terms yesterday when speaking at Soccerex. "It concerns me that we (English football) see international breaks as a chance to give the players 10 days off and go to Dubai."
Hodgson was hurt most recently by the withdrawal of United defender Rio Ferdinand, who missed the qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro because they interfered with his "intricate" fitness plan. Ferdinand instead flew to Doha to commentate on the game for television.
Responding to Hodgson's comments today, Ferguson said: "Look at the opposite side. International football interferes with the clubs' ambitions.
"Friendly games for a start. They have been doing it for the last decade, playing a friendly in the week before the season starts. Tell me the sense of that.
"It doesn't matter what way you look at it. Club managers are always in disagreement with international football, particularly in friendly situations.
"I have no issues at all about the competitive part. The players should always be available for the European Championship and the World Cup.
"But you can't tell me that should apply itself in friendly games."
Ferguson also welcomed the introduction of goalline technology, which was confirmed by the Premier League yesterday.
"Progress is progress. It had to happen," he said. "It should be applauded. When you are continually trying to progress your football, it is for the betterment of the game.
"Other sports have been doing it for a long time - and I think it was time football did catch up."

Best Song I've Heard All Week
If anyone knows what language this is, let me know... the singer could be reading names out of a phone book and I'd still love it.

I think it's Swedish, but the song sorta reminds me of some jams by Finland's Rolli the Troll (search for it on Wikipedia for more info).
I can't find a match, but here are some cool vids from Rolli anyway:
Hi! I just saw this video yesterday! It's from a Swedish cartoon called Bamse. It's about a bear that gets super powers from honey.
So lovely - I am Swedish - living in Stockholm and get this lovely video with song from US - thank you!
haha, this was very popular when I was twelve years old or so. It's a guy who've just made fun of a childrens character called Bamse. The song is sort of just random words :)
no way! This has gotta be the best one ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJQVlVHsFF8

Now that the output has been filtered and tested for confidence, the sentence can now be processed to move the arm:
def process_sentence(sentence_text): str1 = remove_tags(sentence_text) str2 = str1.replace('sentence1: ','') joints = ['ELBOW', 'SHOULDER', 'WRIST', 'GRIP'] transcribed = str2.split() if transcribed[0] in joints: movearm(transcribed[0],transcribed[1]) elif transcribed[0] == "LIGHT": ctrl_light(transcribed[1]) elif transcribed[0] == "BASE": rotatebase(transcribed[1])
This function simply sorts the commands and passes them to the correct function. It could probably be written more elegantly, but this works for now. To use the pyusb module, we need to set up the device using the set_configuration() method. This is the complete main() function:
if __name__ == "__main__": dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=0x1267, idProduct=0x0000) #exit if device not found if dev is None: raise ValueError('Can\'t find robot arm!') #this arm should just have one configuration... dev.set_configuration() child = pexpect.spawn ('julius -input mic -C julian.jconf') while True: try: child.expect('please speak') process_julius(child.before) except KeyboardInterrupt: child.close(force=True) break
After getting the USB sorted, we can then send the commands to the robot arm by setting the half-nibble to 1 or 2, and then doing a bitwise left shift (which is the same as multiplying by 2^n). We then use pyusb to send the command:
def movearm(joint,direction): if (direction == "UP") or (direction == "CLOSE"): cval = 1 elif (direction == "DOWN") or (direction == "OPEN"): cval = 2 # if joint == "SHOULDER": cbyte = (cval << 6) elif joint == "ELBOW": cbyte = (cval << 4) elif joint == "WRIST": cbyte = (cval << 2) elif joint == "GRIP": cbyte = cval else: return command = (cbyte, 0, 0 ) #taken parameters from notbrainsurgery's post: dev.ctrl_transfer(0x40, 6, 0x100, 0, command, 1000) time.sleep(1) #stop the arm dev.ctrl_transfer(0x40, 6, 0x100, 0, (0,0,0), 1000)
And a similar function for the base:
def rotatebase(direction): if (direction == "RIGHT"): cval = 1 elif (direction == "LEFT"): cval = 2 command = (0, cval, 0 ) dev.ctrl_transfer(0x40, 6, 0x100, 0, command, 1000) time.sleep(2) #stop the arm dev.ctrl_transfer(0x40, 6, 0x100, 0, (0,0,0), 1000)
And finally, for the LED:
def ctrl_light(light_comm): if (light_comm == "ON"): cval = 1 elif (light_comm == "OFF"): cval = 0 command = (0, 0, cval ) dev.ctrl_transfer(0x40, 6, 0x100, 0, command, 1000)
Finishing up
Now save this python script as robotarm_voicectl.py in the 'voxforge/auto' folder, and run:
sudo python robotarm_voicectl.py
The script needs to be run with root privileges as we need hardware access to the USB subsystem. And as I said earlier, all of the requirements are also available on Windows and OSX, but will require some tweaks (i.e. pexpect is not available on Windows, so an alternative method should be used). Since everything is freely available, there are plenty of future possibilities for modification and tweaking - so happy hacking!
Finally, you can download the python script from: Download
What Next?
Well as you can see in the video, it's not very convenient controlling the arm with repeated commands. So I've come up with a wish list that I'll try to implement progressively:
- more autonomy
- some kind of sensor for proprioception and/or vision (Kinect?) (OpenTLD?)
- inverse kinematics (ikfast from OpenRave)
- faster movement, more lifting weight (motor/gearbox improvements)
- operation from wall socket AC adapter (just some soldering which I'll get around to...someday)
- Swordfighting. ;-)

Shang Is Poised for Mid-November
Susur Lee is still hammering out the menu at Shang.
We've heard that the hotly anticipated Shang is poised to open to the public just days after a private Gourmet event on November 17. According to Eater's report from the construction site, Susur Lee, despite having just cooked for Madonna, is still hammering out the menu, which he describes as "based on old European and Asian cuisines." If you're looking for a sneak peek, it's a safe bet he'll debut some dishes at the Beard Foundation's Dumplings & Dynasties gala on November 13.
