Home › Forums › BlackBerry News › BlackBerry Bicyclists � Map Your Rides With GPS
This topic contains 3 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by Ronen Halevy 7 years, 6 months ago.
July 30, 2009 at 3:20 PM #173708
MichaelParticipantPosts: 5
I am an avid cyclist, riding on the road and mountain bike trails. Lately, with all the texting-while-driving auto accidents, MTB trails seem a lot safer. When I ride, I like to map my rides with GPS. It is simple to do, and fun. You don�t realize how big a trail is until you map it.
I used to have a Garmin eMap (pocket GPS) mounted on my MTB bike, on the handlebars, until the mount snapped in half, while riding down a steep �rock garden�. After the mount was broken, I would have to ride with the eMap in my jersey pocket. This was more �weight� on me and something else to drop/break or accidentally leave at home.
Yesterday, I rode a trail, near Cincinnati, Ohio, called the England-Idlewild Park Trail, for the first time. I decided to try out the freeware GPS Logger software, to map my trails, on my BlackBerry Bold. How difficult is that? Simple, as you will see.
Before you ride, install the program and set the path, to save the data in. The path is simply where the physical GPS files will be stored. I made a folder called �SDCardGPSLoggerFiles�. You can access this folder when you get home, over the USB cable.
To log your ride, just start the program up, and choose the �Start Logging� menu option. Then ride, ride, ride, and when you are done, tell it to �Stop Logging�. As you ride, this program will draw a map on your screen that shows your path. Don�t worry about interrupting the application while you are riding; you can answer the phone, read a text, whatever, and it will not stop the GPS logging of your ride. Try doing that, all you iPhoneys! The BlackBerry can multi-task! Ironically, while I was riding, I got a text message from Lance Armstrong�s website, giving me the status of the Tour de France.
You can also pause logging, if you stop, e.g., to eat, and don�t want to count that time. Just be sure to remember to re-start the logging after your pause.
When you get done with your ride, simply Export the files, and copy to your PC, from your BlackBerry over the USB cable. They will be *.GPX (always) and *.KML (optional). The KML format is used with Google Earth (free), and the GPX format is used by virtually everything else, including MapMyRide.com (you can get a free account on this website).
On Google Earth or MapMyRide.com, all you have to do is import the file that you exported, and then copied from your BlackBerry to your PC. It will draw your path, and you can underlay the satellite images of the terrain (trees, lakes, roads, hills).
Once again, to be sure, the five steps are: Start Logging, Ride, Stop Logging, Export, Import.

Where do you store your berry while riding so that it continues to pick up the GPS satellites?July 30, 2009 at 4:44 PM #179348
MichaelParticipantPosts: 5
I just had it in the front pocket of my shorts. I think it would also work fine, in a rear jersey pocket, if that pocket had a zipper. Wouldn't want it to fly out of the jersey pocket, when you hit a bump!
I think there is a perception that a BlackBerry must be laying flat, face up, to see the satellites, but it doesn't have to be – it still sees them.August 14, 2009 at 6:31 PM #179349

A group of investors has purchased from an inventor the U.S. rights to sell a patented, innovative mousetrap. The group has hired Martha House to manage the company that includes assuming responsibility for sales and marketing.
Trap-Ease America has targeted the trap to housewives, whom it believes will be attracted to the safety and cleanliness that its trap offers. The trap lures the mouse into a square tube in which it finds itself trapped alive. Thus, there is no danger in baiting and setting the trap, and there is no "mess" resulting from the trap's operation.
Martha is marketing the trap directly to large retail store chains such as Safeway and Kmart. The traps are sold in packages of two and are priced at $2.49—about five to 10 times the price of the traditional, spring-loaded trap.
Martha has been promoting the mousetrap through trade shows and personal selling. As the case opens, she has just returned from a trade show at which the mousetrap received the award as Best New Product of the Year.
Despite the innovativeness of the mousetrap and its success at gaining public attention, sales are disappointingly slow. Martha finds herself wondering why the world is not beating a path to her door, as Ralph Waldo Emerson would have predicted.
Discussion Questions
1.Martha and the investors in Trap-Ease seem to face a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." What information do they need to evaluate this opportunity? What do you think the investor group would write as its "mission statement?"
The case paints a very typical picture of a group of businesspeople who believe they have an outstanding product that will be readily accepted by the market. There is little evidence in the case that the investors have done any real thinking about customer needs or have followed the marketing concept as it is introduced in the chapter. The investors believe they have a mousetrap, which will satisfy customer needs, and, therefore, customers will buy it. Students need to realize that even though a firm may have an excellent product it needs to understand customers' needs and how they respond to those needs. There is no indication in the case that the investor group has any marketing information about its potential customers or has done any real marketing research. The investors would need to know the size of the mousetrap market in the United States. Who buys mousetraps? What kinds do they buy? What prices are charged for the various kinds of mousetraps? How are these mousetraps sold to consumers? What customer needs do existing mousetraps solve, and which needs do they fail to solve adequately? How do consumers deal with their mice and rat problems? Answers to these and other "marketing research" types of questions would give the investors a better feel for the challenges facing them in marketing the mousetrap.
Like many new, small businesses, however, the investors would write a mission statement that focused on making money for themselves. Their statement might be, "Make a lot of money by selling a patented mousetrap." Discussing this with the class will allow the instructor to raise the oft-repeated slogan, "maximize shareholder wealth." Proponents of the marketing concept might well argue that making money is not the goal of the firm. Rather, if one follows the marketing concept, the goal of the firm must be first to satisfy the firm's customers and to do that better than the competition. Only then does a firm have the opportunity to "make money."
2.Who is identified as Trap-Ease's target market? Are there other possible market segments that the firm could target?
The case indicates that Trap-Ease is targeting housewives, and implies that housewives are reluctant to set and bait traditional spring-loaded mousetraps. They also are concerned about the safety of children and pets that may be around the home because once the spring-loaded...

Great news if you're a Die Hard fan, disappointing news if you aren't a fan of the more recent sequels: Die Hard 6 is officially in the works, with Live Free or Die Hard director Len Wiseman returning to take Bruce Willis' John McClane on another action-packed adventure. But the current plan for the next installment in the franchise is to take it back in time, with Die Hard 6 serving as a prequel of sorts.
Amy Schumer has had an incredible couple of years with her hit series Inside Amy Schumer, her collaboration with Judd Apatow for Trainwreck, and her upcoming HBO comedy special. When you're this beloved, there's one place you need to be: on the SNL stage. Schumer makes her SNL hosting debut tonight and absolutely kills it, delivering a complete 180 from whatever happened with last week's relentlessly humorless season premiere (can we just pretend this was the season premiere? OK). There's so much to love in this consistently funny episode, where even the weakest sketch of the night is still quite delightful. Read on for this week's sketches, ranked from best to worst.
It's taken Katniss Everdeen four films, but she's finally making her way to the Capitol to confront the nefarious President Snow once and for all…and she's not alone. The latest trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 is even better than the first, comprised almost entirely of hero shots and action sequences, set to a climactic drum score. It's time for Panem to turn their eyes — and weapons — to Snow.
SNL is back! Season 41 kicks off with famed tongue-wagging pop star Miley Cyrus pulling double duty as both host and musical guest, and regardless of how you feel about her music career, the last time Cyrus hosted was a total delight. New featured player Jon Rudnitsky makes his debut in the premiere, which leans heavy on the political content and offers a decent — though not nearly great — first outing for the season. Read on for our official ranking of this week's sketches!
With a new month comes a new batch of Netflix Instant releases for us to look forward to. If you're looking to discover an old classic or find a new favorite, there are plenty of new titles hitting the service next month. including several seasons of hit TV shows to help you catch up before their fall premieres. Read on for our guide to all the new releases hitting Netflix Instant in September.
As with most unfortunate news, this one comes to us abruptly with no warning. The great Wes Craven, the legendary horror filmmaker who brought us films such as A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, has died at 76. Craven had been battling brain cancer and passed away in his home in Los Angeles.
In addition to returning to theaters and releasing a premium Blu-ray box set this fall, Back to the Future will also celebrate its 30th anniversary with a pretty big celebration. Today comes news of some exciting plans to help fans further celebrate the release of one of the best films of all time — there's just one catch: it's all taking place in Los Angeles.
A couple of weeks ago, Forbes revealed its annual list of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, with Robert Downey Jr. effortlessly landing the top spot. This week, the publication has released the list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, with Jennifer Lawrence taking the number one spot followed by Scarlett Johansson — hardly surprising, but what makes this list interesting is that many of the women on it earn far less than their male counterparts.
This is a pretty huge blow to fans of wrestling, but also to fans of awesome humans in general. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, the legendary wrestling star and actor, has passed away at the age of 61. Piper had previously been struggling with cancer, but according to early reports, his death was the result of a cardiac arrest.
While the following is still a rumor, you might want to turn back now if you wish to avoid potential spoilers for Paul Feig's new Ghostbusters movie. We've heard for some time now that Dan Aykroyd is putting in a cameo appearance, but we weren't sure if he'd be doing so as Ray from the original Ghostbusters, or an entirely new character. Given Feig's plans for his new film, the former was pretty unlikely.

"Goodbye Matthew." I choked. He lifted my chin with his fingers.

"The color is gorgeous, the quality is very nice, though we haven't used it outside yet and cannot vouch for it's durability. On my 16.1 TB/Oldenburg (size 80) the neck opening seems large (we're on the tightest hole), but the rest of the body fits perfectly. At this price point, wish there were clips on the front vs. the standard belt-type closure. "

"I love this blanket. It is so tough it handles all the other horses chewing on it as well as lots of rubs from the horse that is wearing it. I purchased the lightweight as I wanted to keep the wet and wind off without too much heat and it is great. It even fits my really thick stocky Icelandic without rubbing."

U.S. and European leaders threatened new sanctions in the wake of a rebel rocket attack that killed dozens of Ukrainian civilians over the weekend, but Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared ready to shrug off any new measures.
On Tuesday, he continued to blame Kiev for the fighting and for "gunning down civilians in cold blood."
The Kremlin denies giving support to pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine or sending Russian troops, which Kiev said on Tuesday numbered as many as 15,000.
Kiev and Western officials say a fresh infusion of Russian armor in the past two weeks has been feeding the latest offensive against Ukrainian troops, who last week fell back from a long-contested airport outside the eastern city of Donetsk and are now in danger of encirclement at a rail hub in the provincial city of Debaltseve.
Ukraine's army has mostly held its own along other sectors of a long north-south front but is constrained from mounting a serious counteroffensive that Ukrainian and Western officials fear could trigger an even larger Russian military response.
President Petro Poroshenko's government, meanwhile, will run out of money without fresh multibillion-dollar injections from the International Monetary Fund and other official Western sources.
Western donors are prodding Mr. Poroshenko to show his creditworthiness by more aggressively rooting out government corruption—an arduous task, Ukrainian officials say, as the country fights a war.
If Mr. Poroshenko agrees to a new cease-fire and a pullback of his forces, he would effectively give up rebel-held territory, undermining political support in Kiev, where parliament voted Tuesday to declare Russia an aggressor and the separatist governments terrorist organizations.
But continuing to stand up to Russia without significant military support from the West could lead to further losses of both territory and men, deepening Ukraine's financial woes.
Ukraine's economy contracted 7.5% in 2014, and central bank reserves shrank to $7.5 billion in December, the lowest in more than a decade.
Ukraine's currency, the hryvnia, hit fresh lows on Tuesday after losing half of its value against the dollar last year.
"He's between a rock and a hard place, between a deal with Putin and increasingly radicalized Ukrainian public opinion that is not prone to compromise," said Adrian Karatnycky, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank.
Western officials had hoped Moscow would be forced to back down through a combination of sanctions and financial pain after the plunge in the price for crude oil, Russia's main export.
But Putin has been unwilling to order militants to return control of the Ukraine-Russia border to Kiev, a crucial point of the September deal.
Indeed, Putin ramped up his rhetoric this week, blaming Kiev for the upsurge in violence and calling Ukraine an instrument being used by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to contain Russia.
Amid a deepening chill with the West, Putin didn't attend a ceremony in Poland at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, which was liberated by the Soviet army on Jan. 27, 1945.
In the run-up to the ceremony in Poland, Warsaw's foreign minister angered the Kremlin by saying that Ukrainian soldiers, rather than the Soviet army, liberated the camp.
At a ceremony Tuesday at a Jewish museum in Moscow, Putin decried what he called attempts to rewrite history, and drew parallels between World War II and events in Ukraine, where the Kremlin says Kiev is brutalizing an ethnic Russian minority.
"We all know how dangerous and destructive are double standards, indifference to and disregard to another man's fate, as is the case with the current tragedy in Ukraine," Putin said.
For now, Kiev says its forces don't face a massive defeat like in August, and that a rocket attack on the coastal city of Mariupol appears to have been a feint.
Government forces and rebels are concentrated around Debaltseve, an important rail junction between the two rebel capitals, with the militants pushing to surround it while pounding it with rockets and artillery.
The encirclement of the town is likely a precursor to an assault that could come in the next week, Ukrainian officials say.
Still, Putin also is constrained from more significant intervention by the threat of tougher Western sanctions and unpredictable reaction from the Russian public if the number of Russian deaths in Ukraine increased.
A Ukrainian security spokesman said nine Ukrainian servicemen were killed and 30 wounded in the past 24 hours, but officials also noted some successes.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said its forces had destroyed four rebel tanks, nine armored vehicles, more than a dozen rocket systems and six airplanes that rebels apparently had been trying to bring into service.
With no offensive possible, Ukrainian units have for now settled into a strategy of punishing the rebels with artillery strikes as they advance.
After Russia gave sophisticated antiaircraft weaponry to separatists last summer, officials say that Ukraine's air force has been unable to operate in the conflict zone even for reconnaissance and spotting targets for artillery.
Ukraine's requests for lethal aid—especially antitank weaponry—have been turned down by the U.S., but its artillery has been improved lately by U.S.-supplied equipment that detect the source of incoming rounds from rebel territory.
The U.S. also has begun providing armored trucks to Ukrainian troops and last week announced it would send military advisers to Ukraine for the first time since the war in eastern Ukraine began.
In a visit to Ukraine last week the head of the U.S. Army in Europe, Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, said the advisers will be based far from the fighting at a base near the western provincial city of Lviv, where they will train four companies of Ukrainian national guard.
Previously, the U.S. has limited its advisers to first aid.

Read All About It: Why You Should Support Your Local Library
Posted on 07/28/2014
When was the last time you used your library card? In a world where free ebooks are readily available and you can use Google to find information on basically anything, a local library can seem somewhat obsolete. But what's often forgotten is that libraries offer so much more than books on a shelf.
These are just a few of the reasons why libraries play a vital role in communities:
- They are cultural hubs. Libraries offer a public space in which community members can gather to interact and exchange ideas.
- They help lower the unemployment rate. Most libraries offer free high-speed internet access, allowing patrons to conduct job searches. Many also provide assistance with resume writing, interviewing and even acquiring basic computer skills.
- They serve as the "people's university." Whether someone never had the opportunity for higher education or they simply want to expand their knowledge base, libraries offer textbooks and other resources that can often only be found at other universities.
- They serve as a link between government and citizens. Most libraries help people to understand and use government websites, complete E-government forms and apply for E-government services.
- They are important sources for youth development. Children's reading groups, tutoring services and other important programs promote quality childhood education.
So how can you help?
- Make a donation. For every $1,000 donated, libraries can receive 179 library visits, circulate 2680 free materials, train 12 patrons through a library program and issue library cards and provide services for 20 new library patrons.
- Volunteer. In most public libraries, anyone over the age of 14 can volunteer. There's a myriad of activities you can participate in, including everything from reading to young children to staffing bookmobiles.

As horrible as it sounds it is far less messy (and still does the same thing). You obviously do have to hold off the urge to go to the toilet for a while though. Anyway that is how I have to do my lunchtime one because I'm on my feet all day at work. Also if you do the tampon trick you must cover it in Vaseline or it will absorb the progesterone. Hope that helps!!

Convertibles, also known as two-in-one or multi-mode PCs, are hybrids that can be used as a tablet or a laptop. There are many different kinds: docking tablets with a keyboard base, slider solutions over a fixed keyboard unit or clamshell chassis with a 360-degree hinge. Depending on their requirements, prospective buyers will certainly find the most appropriate solution for their needs. Many manufacturers offer docking tablets as well as 360-degree solutions. Lenovo has been a pioneer with its Yoga models for business and consumer sectors.

Editors' Comments
Potential buyers who want a Windows tablet will not want to get stuck in the very first app due to the low performance of their device. Thus, there are many devices with real SSDs and Core m or Core i processors (with/without fan) in the market. All models listed in this top list offer notebook performance - at least, almost all. Intel Atom devices are not represented here. The Surface 3 is no longer in the charts since its review is more than 12 months old. Its performance is primarily suitable for web surfing and typing texts.
Microsoft's proposal for the next-generation notebook has already advanced to the fourth round. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 combines tablet and notebook in the shape of a highly mobile, handy device. Not only does the Pro model of the Surface stand out with its steep price, but it also claims best possible performance. Performance-wise, it is supposed to be an adequate laptop replacement, which renders clamshell computers redundant. We have reviewed variants with frugal Core m3 (Skylake), Core i5 (Skylake) and Core i7 (see comparison). The m3 got the first place, since it remains cooler, is silent (fanless) and it delivers a longer battery life.
The tester was delighted: Lower power consumption, silent operation, and longer battery life than the Core i5 model are obvious advantages. However, what is really positive is that the experienced performance is hardly different. The benchmarks show a tolerable disadvantage of only 20%.
There is no question that this is by far the best rendition of the Surface concept to date - and the first one that, despite its inherent design limitations might legitimately be considered as a suitable replacement for a conventional laptop.
The display has been improved compared to the predecessor: Not only is it significantly brighter, but it also delivers higher resolution, lower color deviation, and bigger gamut. The Type Cover has also been improved. Instead of a mediocre keyboard replacement, you will get a great input device, which can now keep up with Ultrabooks. For the first time, this is also true of the touchpad. Furthermore, the Surface pen is included in the scope of delivery. Compared to a laptop, the connectivity is poor with only a single USB 3.0 port and a DisplayPort. The price is quite high and easily exceeds 1000 Euros (~$1097) with the Type Cover.
The Acer Aspire Switch Alpha 12 (6th place) might be the better choice for consumers: It brings the performance of a fanless15-watt SoC with a Core i5 processor and a 3K panel for only 800 Euros (~$877). Consumers should also consider the Spectre x2 12-a003ng (5th place) as an alternative to the Surface Pro 4. Currently, the 12-inch device costs 1100 Euros (~$1206). Professional users probably might find the HP Elite x2 1012 G1 (5th place) to be the strongest competitor. It features a lower resolution but has Type-C USB and LTE (version). Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Tablet (see review) also wanted to be a competitor, but several weaknesses emerged in our review. See also our Comparison of the Top 5 Convertibles.
Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Core m3
Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Core i5, 128GB
Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Core i7, 256GB
ThinkPad X1 goes Yoga. Lenovo has replaced the hinges of the ThinkPad X1 with a 360-degree hinge and out comes the ThinkPad X1 Yoga (IPS-Model in Test, OLED-Model in Test), from which we had a variant with an Intel Core i7-6500U and 512 GB SSD under review. The testers praised the solid and well-designed business convertible made from carbon fiber and magnesium alloy, which includes an active stylus. The high performance of the actively cooled Core i processor and the high color and grayscale precision (after calibration) of the 2560x1440 display are attractive. Obviously, the 1.36 kg (~3 lb) device is not as lightweight as the Surface Pro 4 (1.1 kg/~2.4 lb) or the HP Elite x2 1012 G1 (1.2 kg/~2.6 lb; with keyboard dock). On the other hand, the 14-inch device is perfectly suitable for work with many interfaces (yet no Type-C USB) and a premium keyboard with backlight.
The ThinkPad X1 Yoga does what it was designed for rather well - but at a price.
Unfortunately, there also are disadvantages: The ThinkPad X1 Yoga loses points because of the mediocre battery life of six hours (Wi-Fi test) and the not particularly bright display. The high price of 1950 to 2300 Euros (~$2206 to ~$2602) might discourage many prospective buyers. Thus, the author recommends the HP Spectre x360 13, which is targeted at consumers, as a cheaper alternative (about 1000 Euros, ~$1131). There are hardly any alternatives with similar size (14-inch) and similar performance (Intel Core i): HP's EliteBook Revolve 810 G3 also weighs 1.4 kg (~3.1 lb), but features a no longer up-to-date HD resolution and is only an 11.6-inch device. The 12.5-inch Portégé Z20t-B-10C has a weaker performance and weighs 1.5 kg (~3.3 lb).
After our US colleagues had the ThinkPad X1 Yoga with IPS panel under review, we reviewed an X1 Yoga with OLED display. Compared to the otherwise almost identical IPS model, the battery life is slightly shorter by 45 minutes. The glossy surface of the OLED display will not appeal to everyone, when using it outdoors. On the other hand, the panel has workstation qualities with a perfect contrast and a huge gamut. The better display and connectivity sub ratings ensure a higher total rating. Thus, the OLED edition has replaced the IPS variant in the top list and the X1 Yoga climbed to the 4th place. We had the following models under review:
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga (IPS)
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (OLED)
With the Surface Book (see review), Microsoft thinks of those for whom tablets/convertibles of the upper price range are still too slow. Will those who think that a Surface Pro 4 is too slow buy a Surface Book? This is the intention, even though performance geeks have to spend at least 1500 Euros (~$1697) for such a device (IGP version). Currently, the evaluated variant with a Core i7-6600U and Nvidia Maxwell GPU (940M, GDDR5) costs 2920 Euros (~$3304). You will get a 1.5 kg (~3.3 lb) special convertible, which performs well as a tablet alone, as well as with a keyboard dock and a dedicated GPU. This convertible PC delivers real laptop performance without throttling and full GPU performance even on battery. In the meanwhile, Microsoft has announced an update with GTX 965M (Creator's Update).
The Surface Book i7 is almost 30% faster than the rivals Lenovo Miix 700 (core m3), HP Spectre X2 (Core m7) and Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (Haswell Core i5). The reason: The active cooling ensures a high Turbo utilization even during the stress test, while the fanless systems have to reduce their clocks.
The battery life is also long at 10 hours, and the 13.5-inch panel with 3000x2000 pixels delivers gorgeous colors. The latter shines with precise colors and high contrast (96% of sRGB). Since the input devices (including Digitizer Pen) are excellent, apparently you cannot complain at all, can you? The reviewers complained that the connectivity does not include USB-C or HDMI. The software undocking did not work flawlessly in our test and the poor upgradability is also a disadvantage. We have reviewed the following two models:
Microsoft Surface Book Core i7, 940M
Microsoft Surface Book Core i5, 940M
HP also offers a competitor to the Surface Pro 4 for consumers. The handy Spectre x2 12 (see review) certainly delivers. It comes with a brand new Core m3 or m7. Microsoft does not offer m5 or m7 variants. Is the Spectre x2 12 therefore an option for those looking for best possible tablet performance without a fan? Unfortunately, the answer is a clear no: The m5 and m7 variant do not bring a significantly better performance. Quite the contrary, the m3 edition even comes with a slightly faster SSD.
Nevertheless, the Spectre x2 12-a003ng achieved quite a good result and impressed the tester. However, the Real Sense camera had the smallest impact on this. We liked the extraordinary good concept of keyboard (backlight, good haptics) and tablet. The combination is actually subnotebook-like and productivity use is comfortable without any major limitations.
With its very stable stand and the sleeve keyboard that is "attached" to the tablet, the Spectre x2 can be used as a laptop on the table to a very high degree. The USB Type C ports recharge the device and provide a cabled connection to existing Type A peripherals via a hub or an adapter (included). The primary camera on the tablet's back takes very nice photos and videos. We have not seen this for a long time in a Windows tablet.
All those who consider the Surface Pro 4 and want to spend a lot of money on a mobile work bundle, should take a closer look at the Spectre x2 12. The disadvantages are acceptable in view of the advantages if you do not call yourself a power user and want to edit and render movies on this device.
The price of 1150 Euros (~$1301; m7) is certainly not a bargain. However, you will not get a Surface Pro 4 with 256 GB, which does not even include the Type Cover for just under 1300 Euros (~$1471). On the other hand, the Surface Pro 4 features 2736x1824 pixels, while the Spectre comes with only a Full HD resolution. The lower resolution is not necessarily a disadvantage. The two USB 3.1 (Type-C) ports are definitely benefits of the HP device. A Stylus Pen is also included and there is a variant with LTE for the same price. Once again, Acer's Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271 performs better in this respect. The fanless tablet costs only 775 Euros (~$877) with Core i5 and 3K panel, the variant with i7 and 512 GB SSD is priced at 1270 Euros (~$1437).
Is less more? The m3 variant of the Spectre x2 12-a001ng (see review) did not achieve a longer battery life in the test update. The battery runtime remained about 6 hours, which is relatively short for a Core m3 when you consider that the Surface Pro m3 achieved eight hours. Nevertheless, the rating is higher, since it comes with an LTE modem. The CPU performance of the m3 model is not significantly higher than the m7 variant's. Furthermore, HP could not get the full performance out of the SoC in m3 variant. Currently, the Spectre x2 12-a001ng m3/LTE is not a very good offer for 1120 Euros (~1267). The device is on sale and will not be replaced. HP fills the gap with the Elite x2 1012 G1 instead, which uses the same design. Without keyboard and with Core m3, the Elite x2 costs just under 900 Euros (~$1018).
Spectre x2 12-a003ng (m7,256GB)
Spectre x2 12-a001ng (m3,256GB,LTE)
With the Elite x2 1012 G1 (see review), HP brings a powerful competitor to the Surface Pro 4 and the Switch Alpha 12. While it is not cheaper at just under 1500 Euros (~$1645), it brings more interfaces yet smaller resolution. The tester was satisfied with the actual performance of the passively cooled Intel Core m5-6Y54. Only the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 700 was an exception in this aspect with heavier performance losses. The performance is comparable with the Dell XPS 12 9250 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO S (just missed the top list), which are also passively cooled. Microsoft's Surface 4 Pro and the Switch Alpha 12 bring a higher performance thanks to Core i processors, but the Core m variant is slower than the Elite x2 1012 G1.
The keyboard dock with strong feedback and backlight is well made. Very good battery life of 7:30 hours (Wi-Fi test) and an LTE modem (depending on the version) make the bundle complete, which primarily targets professional users who demand very high mobility.
The display could be improved, however. It is not that this panel is particularly bad - but considering the price, we expect a little more as far as the brightness and the contrast are concerned.
According to HP, the Elite x2 1012 G1 fully replaces the Spectre x2 12. Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Tablet (see review) is a competitor that did not make it into the Top 10.
Lenovo had a great success with the Yoga Book (see review): The ultra-slim, yet stable device is note pad, creative pad, and office companion alike. The hardware is not powerful with an Intel Atom and slow eMMC (64 GB). However, the Yoga does not want to be a laptop replacement anyway, but an input device for on-the-go.
The Yoga Book is attractive thanks to the natural writing input via paper on the one hand. On the other hand, it is a full-blown Windows device. Users can forward their creative workings or notes to their habitual desktop apps or edit them to a limited degree.
The tester praises the battery life of just above eight hours. Several subnotebooks perform better in this aspect, but, other than the Yoga Book, these do not weigh only 695 g. The 360 degrees hinge is crispy and appears solid. We assigned it our Editors' Choice Award in November 2016 for its concept.
No, because the Yoga Book is primarily meant as an input interface. In lectures, technical internships, at regular meetings or when sighting convention booths: Open the Yoga Book, take notes or sketch something creatively on "paper" and store it on OneDrive.
Lenovo is targeting the heart of the Surface Pro generation with the Yoga 910-13IKB (review). It offers high flexibility combined with a noble hinge design, great look and extremely long runtimes of up to 11 hours in practice.
On the plus side we have the thin, comparatively light, but nonetheless very sturdy chassis, which features excellent build quality. We'd also be hard-pressed to name a similarly compact and light notebook with a more extensive battery life.
However, there are some technical weak spots: The hinge teeters too often for our taste. The Yoga 910 is not equipped with a card reader or HDMI port and its Turbo Boost utilization is rather poor. Then there is another unavoidable issue:
We can't wholeheartedly recommend the Yoga 910 because of the fan noise issue; all the other items listed in the "con" section are not deal breakers in our book.
The Yoga 910 could have been a worthy Surface Pro substitute especially since it has been available for quite some time. The audible fan noise across all rpm levels means we can't award the notebook with the our Editor's Choice recommendation. We have contacted the manufacturer for another test model with an updated BIOS and will update accordingly.
With the ThinkPad Yoga 260 (see review), Lenovo has launched yet another convertible. However, it is targeted at very demanding business customers. The ThinkPad does not tolerate compromises that the IdeaPad Miix 700 still makes. Thus, the Yoga 260 is a genuine subnotebook, which can be turned into a tablet with a 360-degree hinge. Lenovo makes the thick tablet with the keyboard on its underside less awkward by fixing the keys. They are flush with the underside and can no longer be pressed.
Excellent input devices, including an active stylus – the tester did not expect anything else from a ThinkPad. Unfortunately, the stylus generates a big problem: The chassis tears easily at the stylus compartment. Further disadvantages include heavy CPU throttling, even during usual processor tests. The colors of the TFT are not the best. However, you cannot complain about the matte, bright touchscreen. A poor webcam and distorted microphone recordings slightly dampen the impression, but they are not factors that discourage from buying.
Then there is the issue of CPU throttling during normal load. Why should the fastest 15-watt i7 be purchased if it cannot deliver what it promises?
The positive aspects are that the system can be individually configured, the dedicated docking port, the security features, and the low system noise. Not least, the Yoga 260 appears to be interesting due to its attractive entry-level price of about 1100 Euros (~$1245, Lenovo Shop, i3 version, no HDD variant!). HP and Fujitsu charge about 500 Euros (~$566) more to provide the business features that the Yoga 260 offers. Thus, we assigned it our Editors' Choice Award in February 2016.
When the budget is "only" 1000 to 1500 Euros (~$1130 to ~$1700), the Yoga 260 is a good choice. Its entry-level configuration is relatively affordable and features professional business qualities that HP and Fujitsu provide at approximately 2000 Euros (~$2263).
With the Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-56HM (see review), Acer has managed to bring a unique feature for a cheap price: The Intel Core i5-6200U can almost fully use its potential despite passive cooling; as well as under load. This is the first fanless solution for the consumer market, which does not only promise notebook performance, but also delivers it. The Aspire Switch Alpha 12 easily outperforms the Core m devices in this top list; at least in terms of CPU performance of the SoC. As a result, its system performance is higher than almost all Core m competitors' (+10 to 30%) and on par with the Surface Pro 4.
We have taken a liking to Acer's new Switch Alpha 12. With a price of 800 Euros (~$905) not only is it an affordable alternative, but is also better in some aspects: Distracting fan noise is a thing of the past.
The good input devices improve productivity and the solid build quality ensures good haptics. The display with a resolution of 2160x1440 pixels (native pen support) is excellent, thanks to its high brightness, great contrast, and very good colors out-of-the-box. The tester did not like the poor speakers and the short Wi-Fi battery life of only 5:21 hours. The Surface Pro 4 remains the best choice in this respect. Even the Core i5 variant achieves 7 hours in this test and the m3 model delivers 8 hours.

|Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-70EQ
|from 1250 Euros
|Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-56HM

In the meanwhile, we had the expensive Core i7-6500U + 512 GB variant under review, the Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-70EQ (see review). However, the rating did not improve. Quite the contrary: The battery life falls slightly (-10%) due to the i7 SoC and the laptop achieves just under 5 hours. System, CPU and gaming performance are only marginally better than the i5 model's. Thus, buyers would only get a big 512 GB SSD, 8 GB of RAM and a backlit keyboard for a steep surcharge of 500 Euros (~$566). We recommend the i5 variant, which is already available for under 800 Euros (~$905; 128 GB). Those who want LTE should consider the Spectre x2 12 (6th place). We had the following two variants under review:
Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-56HM (i5,128GB)
Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-70EQ (i7,512GB)
The Asus Transformer 3 Pro T303UA-GN050T (review) does not turn out to be a serious rival for the Surface Pro 4. This is not the result of the build quality, because the device is very sturdy and convenient. It is not the 3K display with wide viewing angles, either, since it has a wide color gamut (98% sRGB) that is also sufficient for professional users. Keyboard dock (with background illumination) and active stylus are included, another advantage over the Microsoft device. The price: 1,000 up to 1,600 Euros. So what is the problem?
The processor cannot utilize the promised performance, and it already affects normal workloads without the stress test. The runtimes are also very short at under four hours. Not enough when the competition lasta up to ten hours.
The gap between the potential and real performance can scare off many potential buyers. However, the Asus Transformer 3 Pro is a stylish convertible with perfect workmanship. The great display offers extensive color space coverage and is suitable for professional use.
If you are looking for performance, you should have a look at the convertible Acer Aspire Switch Alpha 12 (9th). It is the only tablet, which can actually utilize almost all the potential of its 15-Watt SoC without serious throttling, despite the lack of a fan. Both the HP Spectre x2 12 and the HP Elite x2 1012 are the best alternatives if the performance of a Core m is sufficient.

Every major sci-fi franchise needs an origins story and you might like to think of An Adventure in Space and Time as a something of the kind.
The difference is that the events of this feature-length making-of drama about the beginnings of Doctor Who took place not in the show's fictional universe, but in the real world. Well, mostly they did.
It was in part a Sixties-set workplace drama, like Mad Men or The Hour, in which an ambitious young woman banged her perfectly coiffed beehive against the era's glass ceiling.
That woman was the producer Verity Lambert and for casual Doctor Who fans such as myself (Favourite Doctor: David Tennant), the show's progressive employment record was a revelation: Lambert was at that time the only female producer at the BBC and director Waris Hussein was the first Indian-born director. What a shame their legacy is yet to be fulfilled with a female or non-white Doctor.
In the end, however, the story belonged not to Lambert (Jessica Raine) or Hussein (Sacha Dhawan), nor even to the larger-than-life, back-slapping head of drama Sydney Newman (played with obvious zest by Brian Cox), but to the actor William Hartnell.
David Bradley played the first ever Doctor as a cantankerous codger, old-for-his age at 55 and so bored of playing sergeant majors, that he filled his hours drinking whisky and growling at his granddaughter instead.
Hartnell was initially reluctant to make a move to children's TV – he was a film actor, after all – but over the course of his three-year stint we saw how he began to delight in this new fan-base. He signed autographs for thrilled schoolchildren in the park and even led them in a quick game of Daleks'n'Doctors.
When eventually Hartnell was laid low by old age and ill health, it seemed he'd be forced to retire, but how could Doctor Who continue without the Doctor?
In Doctor Who, an end is always a beginning, and so it was with Mark Gatiss's cleverly resonant script. Not only did we have the always exciting opportunity to see two Doctors share a screen, but Hartnell's pathos-tinged handover to Patrick Troughton (a cameo from Gatiss' League of Gentleman chum, Reece Shearsmith) was also followed by the apparition of a rather more recent incarnation.

What are people mixing Q4 Plus in a Perma Green Triumph tank?
UPIDSTAY....guys here are going to tear you up alive. You need to provide additional information with questions like this. I will get you started and see if you can figure it out yourself. Please do the math and post it here and we will let you know if you did it right.
What is the coverage of your PG (hint sq ft covered per tank or galon)? At what rate are you going to apply the Q4 (hint, the label will tell you your rate)?
Please clarify what you are looking for adjuvants or solution rates or a cocktail of other products?
If your question is regarding adjuvants what one are you considering using and what rate do they recommend? I prefer Lovelands, Li700 for most of my applications.
1.5 oz per gallon
I have the triumph...
Mixing instructions via manual...
The pg should at .25 gallons per 1000 sq ft. So take your rate of product per 1000 sq ft and multiply by 4, that will give you the rate of product per gallon.
Btw, you know you have to overlap your last pass by 50% on the triumph.

Salidroside and its aglycone p-tyrosol are two major phenols in the genus Rhodiola and have been confirmed to possess various pharmacological properties. In our present study, p-tyrosol was identified as the deglycosylation metabolite of salidroside after intravenous (i.v.) administration to rats at a dose of 50 mg/kg, but was not detectable after… (More)
COMMD1 deficiency results in defective copper homeostasis, but the mechanism for this has remained elusive. Here we report that COMMD1 is directly linked to early endosomes through its interaction with a protein complex containing CCDC22, CCDC93, and C16orf62. This COMMD/CCDC22/CCDC93 (CCC) complex interacts with the multisubunit WASH complex, an… (More)

MicroRNA-449a is expressed at a low level in several tumors and cancer cell lines, and induces G1 arrest, apoptosis, and senescence. To identify the function of miR-449a in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we discussed the potential relevance of miR-449a to clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in NSCLC. We also investigated the impact of… (More)
The goal of this study was to examine NOX2 and NOX4 expression in clinical samples of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to explore the correlation of NOX2 and NOX4 expression with the severity of injury, duration of injury, and prognosis. Brain samples of 20 TBI patients within 1 cm of the contusion site were collected and grouped based on… (More)
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) 3, as a cofactor in co-repressor complexes containing silencing mediator for retinoid or thyroid-hormone receptors (SMRT) and nuclear receptor co-repressor (N-CoR), has been shown to repress gene transcription in a variety of contexts. Here, we reveal a novel role for HDAC3 as a positive regulator of IL-1-induced gene expression.… (More)

Kenny Loggins net worth & biography:
He's famous for soft rock music starting in the 1970s, and afterwards for composing and performing for movie soundtracks in the 1980s. Initially part of the duet Loggins and Messina, he became a solo artist and has composed tunes for other artists. The two recorded lots of Loggins's compositions in Messina's house living room. When Columbia signed Loggins (using the help of Messina) to a six-record contract, recording started in earnest for Loggins's debut record, with Messina as producer. Messina initially designed to give his name to the Loggins job simply to help introduce the unknown Loggins to Messina's well-recognized Buffalo Springfield and Poco crowds. However, from the time the record was finished, Messina had given so substantially to the record – when it comes to songwriting, musical arrangement, instrumentation, and vocals – that an "accidental" duet came to be. Therefore, the name of their first record was Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin' In. Even though the record went undetected by radio upon release, it finally found success by fall 1972, especially on college campuses where the pair toured greatly. The vocal harmonies of Loggins and Messina meshed so good that what was started as a one off record became an entity unto itself. Crowds regarded the pair as a authentic duet instead of as a solo act having a well known producer. Rather than continuing to make Loggins as a single performer, they made a decision to record as a duet — Loggins & Messina.
