chakuze replied to iDuggitz's topic in Help and SupportI have an answer to one thing for sure: You can extract the maps wherever you want and copy them to the server/computer afterwards. I have extracted them on my Mac and copied them to Ubuntu later.
chakuze replied to CFGhost's topic in Help and Supporthow is your realmlist set?
chakuze replied to CFGhost's topic in Help and SupportPort correctly set in database and config files? Do you see the realmlist with your realm written in red or it disconnects you instantly?
chakuze replied to Joy's topic in Help and Support· Configure CMake by doing cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/<username>/<server name> -DCONF_DIR=/home/<username>/<server name>/etc -DTOOLS=1 -DWITH_WARNINGS=1 · Build the source. This process may take a few hours to complete; depends a lot on your hardware. make · Finalizing the source make install
chakuze replied to lizardman's topic in Help and SupportI don't want to open a new thread for it, but I think I found a tiny bug: If you melee hit sitting or laying targets, the crit chance should be 100%. I tried it yesterday and I didn't critical hit all the time. It is certainly just a little fix in the code... where do I have to look to change it?
Sure! I still don't know why it executes it directly, if you add -DTOOLS=1 in the end, but it doesn't matter. First your run the complete cmake stuff written in the tutorial and after your run again cmake with just -DTOOLS=1 as parameter Extractors are located in the /bin/ folder of your builded realm You use them by doing this: cd /Users/<your directory>/<realm directory>/ mkdir data cd data mkdir buildings vmaps mmaps <path of the mapextractor> -i <path to wow client root directory> <path of the vmap4extractor> -l -d <path to wow client root directory>/Data <path of the vmap4assembler> buildings vmaps <path of the mmaps_generator> If anything is unclear, post here :)
chakuze replied to Urters's topic in Solved IssuesAnd these extracted .db2 files cannot be modified easily I guess?
chakuze replied to chakuze's topic in Help and SupportI solved it on my own - if someone is interested in the answer, here is my way of doing it: -Multiple realm creation- · Re-run the CMake configuration step and change INSTALL_PREFIX to a destination of your choice. The directory specified there, will be the 'home'-directory of the new realm. · Make sure to add -DTOOLS=1 to the configuration again, as you need to start an own worldserver for each realm · Run 'xcodebuild -target install -config Release' in terminal · Create own world_<your Realm> and characters_<your Realm> database via MySQL (I modified the provided create_database.sql file) and import the .sql files, like when setting up the first realm (download TDB for world database and use .sql from 'base'-folder for characters database) · Add your new realm in the auth database inside the realmlist table · Go to the 'etc' folder of your new realm and customize the worldserver.conf fitting to your new realm -> realmID must be set, database logon information, port (must differ from other realms), data directory (maps etc.), [...] · You can delete the authserver.conf, if you want to use the authserver from your first realm. Only one authserver must run for all realms to handle authentication. · Start up worldserver in each 'bin' folder of your realms · Start up authserver in the 'bin' folder of the realm of your choice (where you have configured authserver.conf correctly)
chakuze posted a topic in Help and SupportHi, I recently got a 3.3.5 server running on Mac OS. I would like to set up a second, independent realm now (selectable via realmlist menu inside WoW). What are the necessary steps to achieve it? I cannot simply copy everything, because the worldserver after copying, still refers to the same worldserver.conf. I searched the forums and couldn't find something helpful therefore I would appreciate a bit more detailed answer, as it might be useful for other user later aswell. Thanks in advance !
The problem is solved. This can be closed now.
chakuze posted a topic in Help and SupportHey, I know that you can e.g. create accounts inside the worldserver console. Does a list of all available commands (for worldserver console and GM inside game) exist?
chakuze posted a topic in Solved IssuesHi, System: Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.2 I have followed this guide: https://community.trinitycore.org/topic/10515-howto-compile-trinitycore-on-mac-os-x-using-homebrew/ to build Trinity. My build succeeded after a tweak of myself (changing mysql path). First issue occurred: What did I actually just build? Some kind of Trinity base that is necessary no matter if I want to run 3.3.5 or 6.x? If it does matter, how could I chose JUST to install 3.3.5, I couldn't find that in the guide. Anyway, my build succeeded and I went straight into the next step (server setup): https://trinitycore.atlassian.net/wiki/display/tc/Server+Setup Now a few new problems appear for me: I should extract Vmps, MMaps using Trinity extractors. At first DTOOLS=1 was not set, because it was not mentioned in the guide above. I tried to re-run the 'CMake-Config-Thing' but after adding -DTOOLS=1 at the end of the parameter list and paste it into the console it executes it directly... apparently without using the last parameter. If I add -DTOOLS=1 somewhere inside, it also executes everything directly but leaving out the last parameter which is then of course "-DWITH_WARNINGS=1". Why does the console executes it directly? How do I install/build the extractors and where to find them afterwards and how to use 'em? In the guide it says "unknown makro: 'localtabgroup'", I guess the wiki page is somehow corrupt? Well, I was going through this tutorial because I have no idea and now something essentiell is missing -.- For the moment my build succeeded, but I don't know if it contains everything necessary and whether its prepared for 3.3.5, 6.x or both of them. Which are the next steps from now on to get me past WoW Login Screen? I hope someone can help me out! I'd suppose a lot of people encountered similar problems and might have fixed them already. Thanks in advance, chakuze
chakuze replied to Shin's topic in GuidesI have read the answer of Shin to this post, but I don' really understand it. You said: xcodebuild -target install -config Release So it is not possible to just build 3.3.5? Which one is built if I use this 'general' command? I had a problem building it the first time, because mysql was in another path. I used -DMYSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib \ and the build succeeded. Was it the correct file? I mean it obviously succeeded, but there was another mysql file in the folder 'libmysqlclient.dylib' which might have been also ok; I just picked the 20 first and wanted to try the other if it fails again...

chakuze replied to Apple's topic in Help and SupportOk thanks, I downloaded the wrong version yesterday -.- It is working now, but I still didnt update with the .sql files from "sql/updates". I read all the manuals: How can I update my folder "trinity/sql/updates/" to the newest version? can someone post me a tutorial or just explain me? thanks in advance.. EDIT: Ok I read it a bit more carefully: Its done, server is running with the newest updates. this can be closed here, thanks for your help!

Background: Patients with chronic pain usually suffer from cognitive impairment, with memory deterioration being the most common deficit that affects daily functioning and quality of life. The causes for this impairment are not clear despite intensive clinical studies. Few studies have evaluated impaired learning using animal models of persistent pain. Objective: In this study, a new trigeminal neuralgia model induced by cobra venom was adopted to explore effects of chronic pain on spatial learning and memory in rats. Study Design: Controlled animal study. Setting: Department of Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine & Critical Care Medicine, Aviation General Hospital of China Medical University. Methods: Thirty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 15): NS control group and cobra venom group, 0.9% sterile saline or cobra venom solution was injected into the sheath of the infraorbital nerve (ION), respectively. The development of trigeminal neuralgia was accessed by changes in free behavioral activity 3 days before the surgery and 3, 7, 12, 20, and 30 days after the surgery to identify whether the model was successful or not. Morris water maze test determined the abilities of spatial learning and memory at the time points before the surgery, and 2 weeks and 5 weeks after the surgery. We also observed the ultrastructure of the ION and medulla oblongata of rats following 8 weeks of chronic trigeminal neuropathic pain. Results: Rats with the cobra venom injection displayed significantly more face grooming and fewer exploratory activities compared to the NS control group or baseline (P < 0.01). Both groups improved their latency to reach the platform with the largest difference on the first day (P < 0.01), but without memory deficits in a probe trial for the second water maze protocol. For the third water maze testing, the rats in the cobra venom group experienced decreased abilities of spatial learning and memory, a longer latency with spatial memory deficits during the probe trial (P < 0.05). At the ultrastructural level, we found changes in the medulla oblongata after cobra venom injection resulting in severe demyelination and loss of axons that might be implicated in the causes of cognitive deficits. Limitations: Limitations include partial vision loss in the eye on the lesion side of the rats that might be missed and the absence of evaluating the ultrastructural changes in other parts of the brain. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that trigeminal neuralgia induced by cobra venom in adult rats can impair spatial learning and memory function over time and results in demonstrable changes in the ultrastructure of the medulla oblongata. This new animal model may be useful for future studies on the effect of chronic pain on learning and cognition. © 2015, Association of Pain Management Anesthesiologists. All rights reserved. Source
[Using the combination of traditional risk factors and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) in predicting the risk of individuals with subclinical artherosclerosis].
Wang G.Z.,Capital Medicine University
Zhonghua liu xing bing xue za zhi = Zhonghua liuxingbingxue zazhi | Year: 2010
To determine whether the combination of traditional risk factors and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) assessment could provide accurate prognostic information on a population-based study including 1137 adults with subclinical artherosclerosis and with coronary risk factors. Participants underwent coronary angiography examination before the minimal stenotic diameters, segment diameters, percent stenosis, plaque areas. Other parameters were analyzed by the computer-assisted Coronary Angiography Analysis System. The Framingham Risk Score for each participant was assessed. During the 1 year follow-up period, all kinds of endpoint cardiovascular events were screened. Endpoint events were defined as death from coronary heart disease, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) or unstable angina pectoris. During the 1 year of follow-up period, a total of 124 participants developed an endpoint event, which was significantly associated with the Framingham Risk Score, calcium of plaques and the plaque areas (all Ps<0.05). The QCA score incorporated with the QCA parameters was related to the endpoint events. The Framingham Risk Score was combined with QCA score through logistic regression for prediction of end-point events. Data from the ROC analysis showed the accuracy of this prediction algorithm was superior to the accuracy when variables themselves were used. The event-free survival rate was inferior to the control group in participates under high risk, when being screened with this prediction algorithm (P<0.05). The risk of cardiovascular attack in subclinical artherosclerosis individual seemed to be associated with the Framingham Risk Score, calcium of plaques and the plaque areas. When the traditional risk factors (the Framingham Risk Score) were combined with QCA, the new method could provide more prognostic information on those adults with subclinical artherosclerosis.

Marine Drugs | Year: 2014
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a tumor-selective apoptosis inducer and has been shown to be promising for treating various types of cancers. However, the application of TRAIL is greatly impeded by the resistance of cancer cells to its action. Studies show that overexpression of some critical pro-survival proteins, such as survivin, is responsible for TRAIL resistance. In this study, we found that Aplysin, a brominated compound from marine organisms, was able to restore the sensitivity of cancer cells to TRAIL both in vitro and in vivo. Aplysin was found to enhance the tumor-suppressing capacity of TRAIL on several TRAIL-resistant cancer cell lines. TRAIL-induced apoptosis was also potentiated in A549 and MCF7 cells treated with Aplysin. Survivin downregulation was identified as a mechanism by which Aplysin-mediated TRAIL sensitization of cancer cells. Furthermore, the activation of p38 MAPK was revealed in Aplysin-treated cancer cells, and its inhibitor SB203580 was able to abrogate the promoting effect of Aplysin on the response of cancer cells to TRAIL action, as evidenced by restored survivin expression, elevated cell survival and reduced apoptotic rates. In conclusion, we provided evidence that Aplysin acts as a sensitizer for TRAIL and its effect on p38 MAPK/survivin pathway may partially account for this activity. Considering its low cytotoxicity to normal cells, Aplysin may be a promising agent for cancer treatment in combination with TRAIL. © 2014 by the authors; licensee MDPI. Source
[Association between both resistin, visfatin and insulin resistance as well as β cell function in the first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetes mellitus].

Zhonghua liu xing bing xue za zhi = Zhonghua liuxingbingxue zazhi | Year: 2010
To study the association between the levels of serum resistin, visfatin and insulin resistance as well as β-cell dysfunction in the first-degree relatives (FDR) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to investigate the role of these adipocytokines in pathogenesis of T2DM. Serum levels of resistin, visfatin as well as fasting true insulin (FTI), proinsulin (FPI) levels were measured in 71 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. 55 subjects with IGT/IFG and 174 NGT from first-degree relatives of T2DM, and 114 subjects of NGT without T2DM family history served as control group (NC). Insulin resistance was assessed by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) and β-cell function was evaluated by HOMA-β and fasting PI-to-TI ratio (FPI/TI). Lipid profile, liver function and kidney function were also tested. Anthropometrical parameters such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and blood pressure were also recorded and life style and food intake spectrum investigated. (1) There were no significant differences of serum resistin levels among the four groups (P>0.05). The serum resistin level was not correlated with HomA-IR, HomA-β and obesity markers (P>0.05).(2) The serum visfatin levels of DM group, IGT/IFG and NGT group were lower than the NC group (P<0.05). There were no significant difference among DM group, IGT/IFG group and NGT. The serum visfatin level was not correlated with HOMA-IR and obesity markers (P>0.05), but negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose and blood pressure (P<0.05). The adipokine profile in FDRs of T2DM had distinctively altered before the development of impaired glucose tolerance. Serum levels of visfatin, showed a favorable effect on glucose metabolism also had a significant decrease on serum levels in the early stage of T2DM. Source

Background Internal carotid artery fenestration is a rare congenital cerebrovascular condition and can be misdiagnosed as carotid artery dissection. Case Report A patient was initially misdiagnosed with carotid artery dissection. This initial diagnosis was made using a carotid vascular computed angiography and magnetic resonance angiography. A digital subtraction angiography examination revealed a fenestration in the terminal C1 segment of the right internal carotid artery. Previous literature related to carotid artery fenestration was reviewed and analyzed. Conclusions Fenestration of the carotid artery combined with aneurysm at the external segment of the internal carotid artery or from the starting position of the carotid artery remains rare in elderly patients, can be misdiagnosed as artery dissection. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
Book DescriptionIn April 1992 a twenty-four-year-old from the Washington, D.C., suburbs named Chris McCandless walked into the Alaska wilderness below Mt. McKinley with a small-caliber rifle and a ten-pound bag of rice. Four months later, his emaciated corpse was found at his campsite by a moose hunter. How McCandless came to die is the unforgettable story of "Into the Wild." Jon Krakauer constructs a clarifying prism through which he reassembles the disquieting facts of McCandless's short life. Admitting an interest that borders on obsession, he searches for the clues to the drives and desires that propelled McCandless. Digging deeply, he takes an inherently compelling mystery and unravels the larger riddles it holds: the profound pull of the American wilderness on our imagination; the allure of high-risk activities to young men of a certain cast of mind; the complex, charged bond between fathers and sons.

Click Image To Enlarge +Figure 1. The ACADES system for coordination and facilitiation of chiral method development
Early in the drug discovery process, it is necessary to begin studies on enantiomerically pure compounds due to the potential for unique efficacy and adverse effects associated with one enantiomer versus the other. In general, it is impractical to synthesize these pure samples prior to confirmation of the viability of the candidate compound. Rather, it is necessary to purify the compounds, typically using chromatographic techniques such as preparative-scale high-performance liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography.
Identifying candidate methods for scale-up can be an expensive process. It typically is time-consuming, but also costly in terms of solvent consumption and instrument time. Perhaps most troubling is the potential for delays in returning samples to the originating chemist for subsequent tests. Recently systems have become available that address these concerns.
An automated chromatographic application databasing and evaluation system (ACADES) can leverage organizational knowledge to reduce the time and number of injections required to develop a purification method, while reducing the manual effort required in the process. Advanced Chemistry Development's ACADES incorporates database and automation components to compile, evaluate, and leverage a chiral knowledgebase (Figure 1).

Sigma DP1
Sigma DP1 :
The Sigma DP1 is a new type of camera offering the full spec. and image quality of a DSLR in the body of a compact camera. It is powered by the 14 megapixel Foveon X3 image sensor, which can reproduce high definition images rich in gradation and impressive three-dimensional detail. It is possible to record images in RAW or the widely used JPEG in four resolution modes. It offers five Exposure modes and three Metering modes as well as being quipped with a built-in flash with the Guide Number of 6, hot shoe, neck strap and 2.5 inch TFT color LCD monitor with approx. 230,000 pixels. The Sigma DP1 has the high resolution and functionality of an SLR, plus adaptability in terms of accessories, all built into a small body.
Sigma DP1 digital camera - DSLR image sensor
A wide range of accessories, optical viewfinder (VF-11), Lens Hood (HA-11), and Electronic Flash (EF-140 DG) are available for the Sigma DP1 camera. Development Sigma introduced its digital SLRs, the SD9, SD10 and SD14 to the market in October 2002, November, 2003 and March, 2007. They have established strong support from a wide range of photographers, both amateur and professionals. Recently, demand for a compact digital camera with portability as well as high image quality has increased. In order to meet this demand, the new Sigma DP1 has been developed as a completely new type of camera with high image quality and features that would not be out of place in a full spec DSLR. Sigma DP1 14 megapixel high definition digital camera, packing the full spec. of a DSLR into the body of a compact camera
Sigma DP1 compact camera - 14 megapixel Foveon sensor
The size of the image sensor used in the Sigma DP1 camera is 20.7mm x 13.8mm. It is approximately seven to twelve times larger than the 1/1.8inch to 1/2.5inch image sensors used in ordinary compact digital cameras. The pixel size of the image sensor is 7.8μm. The large photodiodes deployed at a large pixel pitch capture pure, rich light efficiently and give the Sigma DP1 its high resolution and richly-graduated tones. The Sigma DP1 uses the same 14 megapixel (2652x1768x3 layers)direct image sensor as the SD14. Utilizing the special features of silicon, which is penetrated to different depths by different wavelengths of light, this direct image sensor succeeds in full-color capture with the full RGB in a single-pixel location. Just like film, each photodiode captures all the RGB data, so no final-stage demosaicing is required.
Sigma DP1 - Three layer Responsive Ultimate Engine
The Sigma DP1 incorporates "TRUE" (Three-layer Responsive Ultimate Engine), the world's first image processing engine suited for Foveon three silicon embedded layer direct image sensor. The unique image processing algorithm, which has been developed throughout the development of the SD9, SD10 and SD14 cameras, is incorporated into "TRUE". It enables high-speed image processing and high image quality.
Sigma DP1 16.6mm F4 lens
The Sigma DP1 is equipped with a 16.6mm F4 lens, equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm SLR camera, which has been designed exclusively for Sigma DP1. The large-diameter of aspherical glass provides low distortion and high contrast images. It also offers superior peripheral brightness. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting. It allows photographers to take pictures in difficult light conditions. This lens and SLR-sized image sensor provides natural shallow depth-of-field.
Sigma DP1 camera - RAW format
The Sigma DP1 includes JPEG recording format for convenience plus a RAW data (X3F) recording mode for retaining full image capture detail of the utmost quality. The RAW data format provides pure data for high-resolution images, and uses lossless compression for more compact, yet uncompromised, data files. The RAW data format of the Sigma DP1 keeps brightness and color data in a 1:1 ratio without relying on interpolation. Each pixel location captures the full color of RGB data, so in RAW, X3F files, brightness and color data can be kept in a 1:1 ratio without relying on interpolation. When the image is processed in Sigma Photo Pro, it will preserve the balance of the natural data for the best photos with the best image quality.
DP1 Sigma digital camera - Software
The Sigma DP1 comes complete with SIGMA Photo Pro software, a RAW image developer that converts all RAW data quickly and easily. Adjustments can be made in three separate modes. The X3F Mode stores the original settings of the image at the point of capture. In the Auto Adjustment Mode, the software analyzes and automatically makes adjustments to the RAW data. The Custom Mode allows the photographer to make individual adjustments (exposure, contrast, shadow, highlight, saturation, sharpness and fill-light for example). The photographer can make changes easily and quickly by simply adjusting the slider controls within the software. The X3F Mode stores the original settings of the image at point of capture. Photographers` personal modifications can be saved to the RAW, X3F file for future use. SIGMA Photo Pro supports 8-bit TIFF, 16-bit TIFF, and JPEG file formats. The JPEG can be saved as YCbCr 4:4:4. It is also possible to half, or double the resolution when processing the image.
Sigma DP1 digital camera - Metering modes
The Sigma DP1 has compact dimensions of 113.3mm/4.5in. (W) x 59.5mm/2.3in. (H) x 50.3mm/2.0in. (D) and weighs just 240g/8.5ounces. Its compact body and lightweight design makes it easy to carry everywhere. The Sigma DP1 has three metering modes, Evaluative Metering, Center Weighted Average Metering and Spot Metering. It is also possible to select the exposure mode from Auto, Program AE, Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Priority AE or Manual. Exposure compensation can be set in 1/3 stop increments from +3.0 to -3.0 stops and an auto bracketing function is also available.
Sigma DP1 camera - Red eye reduction
The Sigma DP1 is equipped with a pop up (manual) built-in flash featuring guide number of 6 (ISO100 / m). It is possible to use Normal Flash, Red-Eye Reduction Flash and Slow Synchro Mode. It also features flash exposure compensation in 1/3 stops increments. The AF area of the Sigma DP1 is equipped with 9 focusing points and it is possible to manually select the desired focusing point. The focusing distance is from 50cm to infinity, however, it is possible to shorten the minimum focusing distance to 30cm. Manual Focus is available for photographers who like to take more control, or for use when autofocus or focus lock is not effective. It is also possible to magnify the display to ensure precise focusing.
Sigma DP1 compact camera - Movie function
It is possible to record 30fps movies with QVGA (320 x 240). The digital zoom function can be used during movie shooting. A 1GB memory card (not supplied) allows approximately 30 minutes of movie recording. The Sigma DP1 camera features large 2.5 inch, 230,000 pixel TFT color LCD monitor. The LCD monitor displays 100% of the images, allowing the photographer to easily and accurately confirm the image compensation.
Sigma DP1 camera - Hot shoe
The Sigma DP1 camera is equipped with a hot shoe, allowing use of the dedicated external flashgun EF-140 DG (optional) or high performance view finder VF-11 (optional). Dedicated lens hood This optional lens hood blocks out extraneous light. A hood adapter, designed to accept a 46mm lens filter, is included.

text: Why Does Sonic the Hedgehog Run Faster in America?Bryan Menegus10/06/16 5:40pmFiled to: gotta go slowsonicsonic the hedgehogpal vs ntscgaming26015EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink GIF Sonic is supposed to be fast. In fact, as an otherwise nebulous, frequently-rebooted character, that's really all that can be said about... unless you grew up in Europe, where that was never the case to begin with. Advertisement In early games Sonic's land speed was markedly slower abroad, and it's all due to differences between PAL and NTSC. Don't get too worried about the acronyms, all you need to know is that they're two different ways of encoding color information for analog TVs. NTSC was mainly used in the Americas, Japan, and South Korea while much of Europe, Africa, and chunks of South America used PAL. So what? Well, these systems run at different frequencies, which meant that the same game running at 30 frames-per-second in the US would output at 25 in the UK. Hence, one slow hedgehog. Advertisement Of course, this is an oversimplification. Many games were PAL-optimized to run normally—the first Sonic the Hedgehog just wasn't one of them. Also, thanks to digital TV, almost none of this stuff matters anymore. Whether or not there's been a good Sonic game since the advent of digital TV, well, I'll leave that to the comments section to decide.Bryan Menegus@BryanDisagreesGizmodo staff writer.

THIS MORNING I SPENT TWO AND A HALF HOURSI scrubbing the seats and vinyl in my 16 YEAR OLD new/old Boat. I used the normal top of the market leather/vinyl cleaner- it barely made a difference in the old seats. I just figure it was going to look DUMPY forever and that's that. My wife uses ME's at the Jewelry store on some of the vinyl displays. She brought some home to help clean the boat. AMAZING- the Magic Eraser melted away all the dirt and stains and grime off the white vinyl. It TRULY LOOKS BRAND NEW. I can't believe how great your product works on the boat interior. AND IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER THAN FIRST WAY I TRIED. THANK YOU!!!! I pretty much did the whole boat with Magic Erasers in 40 MINUTES and that boat looks incredible. MY WIFE WANTED ME TO ADD_ every few minutes I would say "WOW LOOK AT THAT".....

After being very satisfied with the magic eraser for cleaning my kitchen tiles, I recently purchased the magic eraser mop. Prior to using it, I called the company and spoke with as consumer representative, who assured me that it was permissible to use a small amount of a cleaner in the water. I therefore, followed her directions, and although the tiles in my bathroom floor were clean, I checked the mop afterwards, and noticed that it was falling apart and could certainly not be used again. I am very disappointed with the product and do not recommend it......

Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
Cleaning grout was always a hastle until Magic Eraser came along. Can't believe how the grout looks like new!!. If you could make it any more perfect I'd suggest an eraser shaped to clean tile.... Love the product.
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
A friend of mine recommended this product for cleaning scum and scuff marks off of just about anything, but in particular skis and snowboards. I was able to find the original MagicEraser sponges at my local grocery store in the cleaning products section. I tried it on my snowboard deck, which was all scuffed up from a week of boarding and sure enough, it cleaned it up perfectly! My snowboard is all clean and shiny now and looks brand new! Since that was such a big success, I tried it on some of the doors in my house and it cleaned those too. It lifted up the scuffs and marks like it was nothing.
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
This is a must-have in my cleaning arsenal! Anything that just isn't coming out with a regular effort scrub gets handed off to the Magic Eraser for a much easier cleanup! Thank you for making this amazing product!
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
Now that I know how it works, I wouldn't buy anything else. My counters are clean and shine. Thank you.
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
I had used the magic eraser for minor jobs and was disappointed because I thought it was just a gimmick sponge. HOWEVER- I was in desperate need to clean my classroom desks from ink. I was going to use bleach but I thought I would try the eraser first and magically the ink came off. This product is not meant to be used like a regular sponge. This product is meant to be used for those problem jobs that need extra. I can't wait to use this on my home. I have cleaned my entire classroom.
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
I am so disappointed in this product. I bought it on the recommendation of the store employee. I could not get the sponge to foam at all. The claim it would clean my stove is so wrong. Since it is merely a sponge and not a "scrubber" it did not clean the top of my stove. Also since it did not foam up I was wiping with a wet sponge; that left water marks and not a clean shiny surface. I had to go back to my old stand by of Orange cleaner and a scrubbie.
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
I was so surprised how easy it was to use and how it cleaned with little effort. I wanted to let you know how wonderful I think it is.
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
Cleaned the glass door on my oven even after oven cleaner failed. Removed ink from my wall after my little cousin got creative with his stamps. The only thing it can't wipe off is the smile on my face after I use it. Love it!
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
I purchased a box of 8 extra durable magic erasers this afternoon at a major home improvement store. My wife & I immediately put them to use. They do clean incredibly well; however, they are not extra durable or even durable at all. I started cleaning a small area in our shower. It quickly removed the stains and dirt; however, within minutes it began to crumble. I was able to clean about a 1.5' x 3' area before it was completely disintegrated. I will continue to continue to use; however, I believe the extra durable label is misleading. Glad I purchased 8, will certainly go through all of them.
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
I have a thing for vintage suitcases. step one in my 'restoration' ... was to clean up the outside. My sister in law had gifted me the matching makeup case for my suitcase - and I asked her how she got it so pristine looking. She told me she used the Magic Eraser. I finally got around to doing the clean up work for my suitcase I was careful to read the instructions - and made sure to rinse the eraser often and keep it pretty wet - and I am VERY pleased with the outcome!! Thank you so very much!!

It would be nice if you make a mop with mister eras so I don't have to get on my needs to scub. Thank you
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
Our tub has had nasty mat stains from the previous owner.... Tried multiple home and store bought and spent several hours scrubbing. Only an extreme amount of bleach/vinegar would lighten and very little by little. I finally was desperate and tried this.... The package sat unused in my cabinet for almost a year bc I was sick of spending so much time on it. Something came over me tonight and I opened the package...... It took me no more than TEN MINuTES and a brisk scrubbing to get almost the entire stain off. I absolutely love taking baths and CANNOT wait now! I wish I would've done this first!!!! The only reason why I scored it less is bc it didn't do much for the hard water stains yet, but I'm going to keep trying them since I only used one so far on a pretty large job.
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
Using this product left marks all over our walls and they will need to be repainted as a result. There was no warning of this - I wish there was at least some fine print somewhere to read but no warnings whatsoever!
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
Someone left a paint mark on my car. Luckily no damage, just a big white paint scuff on my orange car. Hot water and a magic eraser completely removed the scuff. Cant even tell it happened!
Comments about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers:
I boufgt the extra power version to clean my cabinets and it did not work at all. I ended up using a regular bottle of cleaner and a towel and they did the job. I wasted my money. I will never buy this product again. Big waste of my money and time.

A love-struck woman risked her life just to be with her partner. The woman in a desperate attempt to see her boyfriend in Shanghai, jumped out of the window of a train that she mistakenly boarded, and was later saved by patrol officers in China's Anhui Province…Fortunately she only suffered minor injuries and was sent to hospital.
She was later taken home by her mother. While the reckless act was scorned by some online users, the police officer who saved the woman from the rail tracks was widely praised.

Oral History Center
Getty Oral Histories: Jim Druzik and Neville Agnew
We are pleased to announce the release of two new oral histories in our continuing partnership with the Getty Trust to document the careers of extraordinary artists, scientists, preparators, scholars, and administrators that have guided and shaped the Getty over the past thirty years. Historians Todd Holmes and Paul Burnett spent four days alternating full-day interview sessions in an intense baptism into the world of conservation science, exploring the careers of two remarkable scientists from the 1960s through to the present: Jim Druzik and Neville Agnew.
Foxes and Hedgehogs: Jim Druzik and the Development of the Field of Conservation Science
Getty Conservation Institute Senior Scientist Jim Druzik had a baptism of his own rubbing shoulders with the geniuses of postwar modern art as they worked together on installations at the Pasadena Museum of Modern Art. Trained as a chemist, and with one foot ever in the scientific world, Jim very quickly applied the latest scientific research to the problems of conservation. He joined the Getty Institute of Conservation in 1985, and soon established himself as a world leader in conservation science, always concerning himself with how the physical and chemical composition of museum artifacts reacted with the physical and chemical composition of their environments. But much more than that, Druzik was a student of the larger social and economic context of the museum world, taking advantage of initiatives in pollution research, assessments of industrial chemicals, and energy conservation, to name just a few, to make the museum world a better, more accessible and sustainable place. Finally, Jim is very reflective about his roles as a scientist and an administrator. He understands that the world of science and the world of the museum are defined by the people who work in them and on them. Science is social, as the historians are fond of saying, and the keys to Jim's success can be found as much in his enthusiasm for the people he works with as for the work he does with them.
Neville Agnew: Thirty Years of Cultural Heritage Site Conservation with the Getty Trust
South-African-born Neville Agnew is a more nomadic scientist. If Jim's work brings laboratory tools to the museum environment, Neville's brings lab techniques and tools far out into the field. Whether raising and preserving the guns of a long-lost naval vessel off the north coast of Australia, or studying the deterioration of the Great Sphinx in Egypt, or restoring ancient Buddhist cave paintings in southwestern China, Neville underscores the fact that international conservation work is not just bringing the tools of the laboratory to bear on ancient sites, but also a skillful diplomatic effort to build and maintain the partnerships—between project sponsors, international conservation research teams, national political leaders, and local communities—needed to conduct such work. He explores the tension between an ideal of conservation in controlled environments versus the compromises inherent in dealing with "immovable cultural property." At a time when the willful destruction of cultural heritage is almost a daily news item, we are reminded of the importance and fragility of the work that both of these scientists have done to protect the world's art and cultural heritage for future generations.
Paul Burnett and Todd Holmes, Historians/Interviewers, January 2017
In Memory of William K. Bowes, Jr.
William K. Bowes, Jr. died peacefully at home on December 28, 2016 after a long illness. A leading member of the first generation of venture capitalists, he was a private investor in many of the earliest startups in what became known as Silicon Valley. In 1981, he founded U.S. Venture Partners where his conviction that venture capitalists should actively guide companies rather than simply invest in them was a basic principle. His focus was the biomedical industry, an interest he inherited from his physician father. The investment of which he was most proud was in Amgen, a pioneering biotechnology company of which he was founding shareholder and the startup's first chairman and treasurer. Not a man of many words, he was known for his brief, to-the- point interjections in business negotiations. In later years, Bowes's interest turned to philanthropy in the fields of science, the arts, education, and the environment. Among his many generous bequests was a recent pledge of $50 million to the University of California, San Francisco to support young investigators. A far cry from the hard-driving venture capitalist, Bowes was known for his self-effacing manner and personal warmth. For details of his life and contributions, read his oral history transcript.
NEW PRIZE in UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH: Carmel and Howard Friesen Prize in Oral History Research — Call for Submissions
The Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library is proud to announce a new prize to be awarded to a UC Berkeley undergraduate student in Spring 2017: The Carmel and Howard Friesen Prize in Oral History Research. The Friesen Prize comes with a $500 award.
The Friesen Prize will be awarded to the Berkeley undergraduate student who submits the best essay that draws upon Oral History Center interviews. The selection committee will evaluate the submission based on these three criteria:
- How well oral histories are integrated within and essential to the overall essay
- How creatively oral histories are used in the essay
- And the overall quality and persuasiveness of the essay
The Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library was established in 1954 and since that time roughly 4000 interviews have been completed, transcribed, and made available to researchers. Nearly all interviews are available to everyone in transcript form at the Center's website.
Oral histories have been conducted across a wide range of thematic areas including: arts and literature, science and medicine, social movements and community history, business and labor, politics and government, law and jurisprudence, food and agriculture, and the history of the University of California. Major projects featuring multiple interviews include: the Berkeley Free Speech Movement; the marriage equality movement; Rosie the Riveter / World War II Home Front; venture capital; Kaiser Permanente and health care; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; mining and the environment; the law clerks of Chief Justice Earl Warren; the Sierra Club; the disability rights and independent living movement; and the internment of Japanese-Americans in World War II, to name just a handful.
The Prize is named for Carmel and Howard Friesen. Carmel and Howard were married for 64 years when Carmel passed away in 2015. Both Friesens attended Berkeley and have supported Berkeley for decades. In 2015, the Friesens granted to the Oral History Center a generous endowment that supports this prize in addition to interviews conducted by the center.
To be eligible to win, applicants must:
Be Berkeley undergraduates at any class level (lower- or upper-division) and in any discipline (arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences, and engineering) and have completed their research project for a credit course at UCB taken in Spring 2016, Summer 2016, Fall 2016, or Spring 2017.
Submissions are due by April 1, 2017, delivered via email to email@example.com
For additional information, including restrictions for those already receiving financial aid, applicants are encouraged to visit the Friesen Prize website: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/libraries/bancroft-library/oral-history-center/prizes

From the Archives: Fiona Thomson's Interview With former Black Panther Ericka Huggins
This month, in conjunction with the "All Power to the People: Black Panthers at 50" exhibition at the Oakland Museum of California, we're highlighting Fiona Thomson's oral history of Ericka Huggins. In this interview, Huggins talks about her personal and spiritual history, her leadership role in the Black Panther Party, and her lifelong commitment to social justice.
In 1968, at age 18, Huggins became a leader in the Los Angeles chapter of the Black Panther Party with her husband John Huggins. Three weeks after the birth of their daughter, John Huggins was killed and Erika Huggins was widowed. After returning to New Haven, Connecticut, to be with John's family, Ericka Huggins was invited by community members and students to open a party chapter there. She accepted the invitation.
In May 1969, Huggins and fellow Party leader Bobby Seale were targeted and arrested on conspiracy charges, sparking "Free Bobby, Free Ericka" rallies across the country. The resulting trial, one of the longest and most celebrated of the era, spawned several books.
While awaiting trial for two years before charges were dropped, including time in solitary confinement, Huggins taught herself to meditate as a means to survive incarceration.
From 1973-1981, Huggins was Director of the Oakland Community School, a groundbreaking community-run child development center and elementary school founded by the Black Panther Party. In 1976, Ericka Huggins became both the first woman and the first Black person to be appointed to the Alameda County Board of Education.
A lifelong writer and poet, upon release from prison in 1971, Ericka became writer and editor for the Black Panther Intercommunal News Service. She is the co-author, with Huey P. Newton, of Insights and Poems, published in 1974. Huggins is now professor of Sociology and African-American Studies in the Peralta Community College District.
In her four interviews with Thomson, Huggins talks candidly about her experiences as a child in segregated Washington, DC, and as a mother, activist, spiritual practitioner and teacher, and friend and lover. The oral history adds to the Bancroft Library's archive of materials related to the Black Panthers, including the papers of Eldridge Cleaver and the photographs of Stephen Shames.
If you are in the Bay Area, be sure to visit the multimedia exhibit at the Oakland Museum (open until February 12, 2017), to learn more about the Black Panthers and the contributions of Ericka Huggins and many others to the ongoing struggle for social justice.

From the Oral History Center Director: Looking Back on 2016
Reading through year-end reviews of 2016 is decidedly not a lighthearted pursuit. So many favorite musicians of my, and many other, generations have left us and though we have the gift of their music we also have sadness. Events on the world stage seem to descend only deeper into violence and chaos. And an ugly and contentious election cycle in our country — not to mention the surprise result — have left many fearing for the future of our democracy.
While remaining mindful of past disappointments and future challenges, I think that it is important to recognize achievements, successes, and positive outcomes too, for these sustain us and give us hope. We, at the Oral History Center, want to revisit some of the new and exciting developments of the past year that give us — give me — great optimism going forward into 2017.
As many of you may know the Oral History Center experienced a great generational transition beginning around 2011, with the retirements of our three most senior interviewers, associate director, and director. After many years of rebuilding, in 2016 the office has again built-out to roughly full capacity with the arrival of two additional interviewers: Todd Holmes and Cristina Kim. Joining Shanna Farrell and Paul Burnett (both of whom joined us in 2013), Holmes and Kim hit the ground running and by the end of the year have each conducted substantial life history interviews, played key roles in our Summer Institute and the first season of our new podcast series, and have begun developing what promise to be important new oral history projects.
The four lead interviewers, combined with Rosie the Riveter project interviewer David Dunham and I, conducted approximately 425 hours of interviews in 2016 — very likely a record level of productivity for our office. Each and every hour of interview contains something special and irreplaceable: a first-person account of a lived experience, of disappointments and failures, and of hopes and dreams. Projects completed or begun in 2016 include the Freedom to Marry project; Economist Life Stories; Global Mining and Materials Research; Getty Trust; Rosie the Riveter; and many others. Individual life history interviews were completed with leaders in the fields of environmental regulation, genetics, labor, health systems, music, law, education, philanthropy and community service, and foodways. In 2017 expect to see the release of the Freedom to Marry interviews, more interviews with artists and curators in partnership with the Getty Trust, as well as new interviews on the California Coastal Commission and the emergence of ethnic studies in the United States — to mention just a few areas.
The oral historians here at Berkeley have long been productive scholars and authors, publishing magazine articles, journal essays, and books. In 2016, however, we expanded our scholarly engagement activities by producing a podcast series "Tales from the Campanile." The first season (we hope to produce two seasons annually), "From the Outside In: Women in Politics," featured six episodes, each running 15-20 minutes in length which looked at a century of women's role in politics leading up to the historic candidacy of Hillary Clinton. Lead producers Todd Holmes, Shanna Farrell, and Cristina Kim selected audio clips from our amazing interviews with leaders including suffragist Alice Paul, congress member Jeanette Rankin, and California secretary of state March Fong Eu; we were thrilled that Emmy Award-winning journalist Belva Davis agreed to narrate the podcast. For 2017 and beyond we have seasons in the works that will look at the history of the AIDS epidemic and California's uber issue: water. Stay tuned!
The Center continued our educational offerings with great success. In March we hosted our annual "Introduction to Oral History Workshop" and in August our "Advanced Oral History Summer Institute." A diverse and engaging group of participants attended both trainings and, as always, we were impressed by the enthusiasm and intelligence of the attendees, which we take as a harbinger of great oral history projects to come! We look forward to our 2017 Introductory Workshop, which will be held on Saturday February 25th and our Summer Institute, scheduled for the week of August 7th.
In addition to the new oral history projects, podcast seasons, and educational offerings, we are looking forward to getting our latest partnership with the National Park Service off the ground in 2017. David Dunham wrote about this in the previous newsletter, but, in brief, it entails nothing less than an expansion and improvement of the interview search on our website as well as, ultimately, streaming of complete oral histories online — a real first for the Center.
Finally, I want to conclude by offering my gratitude to the many people who make all of this work possible. Given that all of our interviews must receive external funding (the university does not pay the salaries of the interviewers, transcription, or equipment, for example), I want to thank all of the individuals and institutions who have invested in us over the last year. We strive to always improve the quality of our work and we very much hope that our dedication to the craft of oral history shows. We also invite everyone interested in supporting our work to assist us by making a tax-deductible donation to the Oral History Center. We are also always interested in hearing from our supporters about ideas for new projects and new interviews, and how we might go about finding sponsors for those projects.
I also want to thank my regular staff — Julie Allen, Paul Burnett, David Dunham, Shanna Farrell, Todd Holmes, Cristina Kim, and Linda Norton — for their essential contributions; I also extend my gratitude to our interns, student employees, emeritus interviewers, and Library colleagues. Last but not least, my heartfelt appreciation goes to our interviewees. We have never paid an interviewee for the time (sometimes numbering dozens of hours) that they give to our oral history projects.
Thank you and we look forward to staying in touch throughout 2017!

Del Anderson Handy, a Consummate Educator: From a Childhood in the Rural South to the Chancellorship of San Francisco City College
Del Anderson Handy grew up in a small town near Vicksburg, Mississippi, where she worked alongside her great-grandmother, a midwife and forewoman on a plantation. She began studies at Alcorn College and after leading a student protest against racism she left the South and moved to California. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in human development and family life education, and a Master's in Social Work at San Diego State, and shortly became a member of the faculty there, the third African-American on the tenure track in a university of that size. After a number of posts in community colleges, she was named Chancellor of San Francisco City College, where she played a leading role in a $150 million bond campaign to build two new campuses. A lifelong fighter for civil rights, Del Handy retired 1998 and is active on the boards of several Bay Area organizations. Her oral history transcript, Del Anderson Handy, a Consummate Educator: From a Childhood in the Rural South to the Chancellorship of San Francisco City College, is now available online.
Arnold Harberger: New Oral History for Economist Life Stories
We are pleased to launch the next interview in the Economist Life Stories Project: Sense and Economics: An Oral History with Arnold Harberger. This oral history with Arnold Harberger was conducted in seven day-long sessions in Los Angeles, CA from the fall of 2015 to the fall of 2016. Dr. Harberger is the Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, University of Chicago and Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles. He is perhaps most widely known for overseeing the USAID Chile Project, which trained Chilean students in economics who then went on to found programs in economics and take up positions in the Chilean government. However, that story is merely one in Dr. Harberger's sixty-five-year career in technical assistance and education around the world. He has consulted for the US government, numerous individual nation states, as well as institutions such as the US Agency for International Development, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. Of equal importance is his career as a scholar, from his training and interest in international trade to his work in public finance, especially project evaluation and benefit-cost analysis. Throughout, this oral history explores his lifelong pursuit of "real-world economics," research that both draws from and supports economic policymaking.
Financial support for this work was provided by Richard Elden, a member of the Becker Friedman Institute Council, whose contribution is gratefully acknowledged.
Although this project focuses on the leaders and students of the University of Chicago Department of Economics, the Graduate School of Business, and the Law School, we hope to add more stories from economists around the world as the project expands.
George P. Shultz: First Oral History for Economist Life Stories
It's with great anticipation that we announce "Problems and Principles: George P. Shultz and the Uses of Economic Thinking," the first oral history in a new project called Economist Life Stories, featuring in-depth interviews with some of the most influential economists of the twentieth century. George Shultz is perhaps best known for his public service. He was appointed Secretary of Labor, the first Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Secretary of the Treasury during the Nixon Administration, and later became Secretary of State during the Reagan Administration. But before that, he was professor of economics and dean of the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago. Mr. Shultz talks at length about his years at Chicago, but a thread throughout this life history is the economist's way of thinking about and understanding the world. Most importantly, from his military service in World War II to his far-ranging policy analysis since he left public life, Mr. Shultz speaks of the importance of moving past ideological positions to work with others to solve concrete problems.
The interviews were conducted by Paul Burnett at the Hoover Institution in sessions over four days in September of 2015. Hodson Thornber and Paul Burnett organized the project with Toni Shears of the Becker Friedman Institute, with important support from an advisory group of historians and economists.
Financial support for this work was provided by Richard Elden, a member of the Becker Friedman Institute Council, whose contribution is gratefully acknowledged.
Although this project focuses on the leaders and students of the University of Chicago Department of Economics, the Graduate School of Business, and the Law School, we hope to add more stories from economists around the world as the project expands. In December, we will launch the second interview in this project, with economist Arnold Harberger.

Date: Monday November 14, 2016
Time: Noon to 1:15pm
Location: Oral History Center Conference Room, Bancroft
New Oral History Research Series: "Making Sense of My World Through Oral History" by David Montejano
The Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library throughout the academic year hosts occasional presentations of the most current and interesting oral history-based research being conductedtoday. In this second "brown-bag" presentation of the year, Berkeley Ethnic Studies Professor David Montejano will be speaking about his decades-spanning work as a historian and sociologist and the role oral history has played in his work. Dr. Montejano's major areas of interest include Comparative and Historical Sociology, Political Sociology, Social Change, Race and Ethnic Relations, and Community Studies. A native of San Antonio, he received a B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin and two Masters and a Ph.D. from Yale University. Dr. Montejano is the author of the prizewinning historical overview, Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas, 1836-1986 (Austin: Univ of Texas Press, 1987; 7th Printing, 1999). The book also has been translated and published in Mexico (Mexico City: Editorial Alianza, 1991). He has authored numerous scholarly articles and book chapters, and edited Chicano Politics and Society in the Late Twentieth Century (Austin: Univ of Texas Press, 1999). His most recent publication is Quixote's Soldiers: A Local History of the Chicano Movement, 1966-1981 (Univ of Texas Press, 2010).

Dear Saint VERITAS,
Yes, you are human and yes you are fallible, but you are real, compassionate and this community trusts you....or maybe I should speak for myself....I trust you. All those who were deemed saints walked as humans. St. Paul was a murderer but still a saint. Thank you so much for what you do, from the bottom of my Canuck Heart.
It seems everything has changed in the blink of an eye.
This leads me back to my original questions...since circumstances appeared to have changed.
1) is there a limit to the time frame for redemption? I am hearing the 6-10 day window is now a thing of the past.
2) is there a limit to the time frame that a particular redemption rate will remain active?
3) if there are no limits in these areas, is there a reason can you give me for not gifting my friends and relatives with a (for instance) $200,000 VND note for Christmas? They could take them and exchange them for whatever they managed to negotiate. I think they would likely do some research and come to some conclusions of their own, thereby alleviating me of any burden to educate them and then (or thinking me crazed) allowing them to speculate on where my personal wealth may have materialized from and being unable to determine the depth of said wealth.. This would be accomplished without breaking any NDA.
I sense you walk with the Lord, as do I. I hope to one day meet you on the other side of this RV...while we change the world together.
I am your neighbor to the North and a Sister in the Lord.
Northern Light.

Is it Google + or Dropbox?
What are you trying to backup? Just pics/videos?
G+ gives you more free storage last I checked, so that's what I use.
I think Titanium Backup Pro is the best way, but you need root access for it to work
I use Google... There's a lot of added value and tight integration. The Photos app blends local and cloud pics and Google+ adds some photo management, not to mention Picasa.
I use Google to back up my devices
I'm cheap. I use nandroid. There's nothing valuable on my tablet anyway. Just a way to roll back changes when I go trying different stuff ☺
MyPhoneExplorer is a great free tool for backuping.
I use dropbox and Google + to backup my photos.
dropbox works well
The best way to backup your phone is to stand over his shoulder and look intimidating.
Posted via Android Central App
I use myBackup Pro and cloud accounts in addition to Google Drive on Box, Bitcasa, Copy as well as a few others.
I use Google for my everyday storage. It works quite nicely accross different devices.
Dropbox for large file transfers.
"What is the best way to back up your smartphone?"
Be sure to practice backing up as you learn how to operate a cell phone. Find an empty mall parking lot and try various turns. Practice backing into parking spaces. After each attempt get off of the phone and see how you are positioned in the space. Make this a part of your Learn to Phone Checklist.
In the parking lot do a 360 degree circle going forward and study the area it takes to create the circle. Now do a 360 degree circle backing up. You will notice the phone turns much sharper and creates a much smaller circle when backing up. Keep this in mind if you are ever in a situation where you have limited calling room.
During your phoning test you will be asked to back up and stop when told. Keep your eyes looking to the rear until the phone stops. Your call examiner will be looking for this.
Beautifully explained. Just go teach a class, why don't you?
I had to do a factory reset recently and I used helium to backup all my app data. It doesn't require root and I found it worked pretty well.

I use Wondershare MobileGo ant it is one of the easiest ways to connect phone and PC. It covers pictures, videos, and other media in its backups.
