Relaxing afternoon
Received a voucher as a birthday present and was a bit surprised that the 'activity' was 200 miles away. Booked my cruise at very short notice to coincide with a short trip to the Cotswolds, parked in the park and ride and headed for Oxford. Pleasant half hour spent in the bar/restaurant before climbing aboard the electrically powered hence quiet motor launch. Skipper was very thoughtful, provided knee blankets to ward off the cold before setting off for a leisurely amble along the river pointing out historic elements, buildings and stories about this short stretch of the river. A fascinating, interesting and relaxing afternoon.

Pergola Master
Licensed contractor Matt Blashaw, building a pergola on his show Yard Crashers, also helped build the beautiful arbors at DIY Blog Cabin 2013.
Blog Cabin 2013's Ocean View
"At the end of my two-day build, I took my work boots off and walked to the edge of the dock," says Matt. "The wind was gently blowing and the sun was setting, casting a beautiful red glow on the water. It was so quiet that I could hear every wave lap onto the shore. It is truly a magical place."
Jamie Durie put a new spin on stairs, by turning them into pergolas and adorning them with potted bonsai trees.
Make an Entrance
Designer Brian Patrick Flynn shows you how to make a garden arbor from old doors.

text: The presentation Outline Quick history of PDA The Operating Systems used by the PDA The hardware of the PDA The Future of the PDA The Past The Future A Quick History of PDA's What is a PDA? PDA stands for Personal Digital Assistance Even though many handheld devices have been introduced since the 80's, they are not defined as PDA's. PDAs were first introduced by Psion in 1984, it was called the Psion 1 Apple introduced the Newton Message Pad in 1993 Palm Pilot was introduced in 1996 by U.S. Robotic and 3Com with functioning of Stylus pen. How do they look like? - Psion1 (1984) (Early PDA) - Apple Newton (1993) (First PDA) - Palm Pilot (1996) (The PDA) CPU: HD6301X, .92Mhz CPU: ARM 610, 20Mhz CPU: Motorola 68328, 16Mhz Ram: 2KB, (16K external) Ram: 640 KB Ram: 128MB Rom: 4MB Rom: 4KB Rom: 4MB OS: Palm OS 1.0 Software: Basic OS: Newton 1.0 Display: LCD( 160x160 pixels) Display: LCD 16-characters Display LCD (3360x204 pixels) How are PDAs used? basic functions Designed to work as a companion to the PC. date book address book to do lists short notes calculator Mail How are PDAs used? (continue…) advanced functions synchronizing data with desktop contacts, schedules and tasks content access sync updated content from web real time via wireless databases, books, journals, etc. Palm OS Varieties PDAs run on several different operating systems . The two most common are Palm OS and PocketPC (Windows-CE). Most applications have been written for the Palm OS, but the PocketPC is catching up. Other operating systems include EPOC, BlackBerry, Psion, and PocketLinux. The Palm Operating System In 1996, a product called the PalmPilot was released by US Robotics. The Palm Pilot ran on an operating system made especially for that device, called the Palm OS. The Palm Operating System (Palm OS) is the current leader in the PDA market, accounting for 70% of the market share. The Palm Pilot (now known as just Palm), became one of the fastest growing computer platforms in history, reaching the million-sold mark faster than the IBM PC or Apple Macintosh. Today, the Palm line has grown to include a variety of models. In addition, a number of other companies such as IBM, Qualcomm, and Symbol Technologies released their own Palm OS PDA models, with Sony's version hitting the market later this year. The Windows CE Operating System Although the Windows CE Operating System is the leader among home PCs, it holds only about 10% of the PDA market. The latest version of Windows CE is coming back with a vengeance. They have partnerships with some key companies in the industry like, Casio, HP, and Compaq, who all manufacturer PocketPC devices. But perhaps Microsoft's biggest ace in the hole is the coming onset of broadband wireless. Needless to say, compatibility is going to be a major issue in the coming years. And with the world already utilizing a number of Microsoft products, PocketPCs might just slide into favor simply due to ease of portability. The EPOC Operating System The third major player is EPOC, an operating system developed by London-based software developer Symbian. EPOC has three device designs: one for mobile phones, one for PDAs, and one for home PCs. EPOC does have some major advantages. It is an extremely power-efficient operating system -- other operating systems require double to triple the size of a battery. Also, EPOC has a small memory footprint and compact code, which allows for easier customization. This potential for customization is a huge advantage over Windows CE. Recently, Symbian announced a deal with Sony whereby the Japanese giant will use the EPOC platform and possibly a range of applications in its forthcoming line of devices, such as mobile phones. This is in addition to deals already existing with companies such as Ericsson, Motorola, and Psion. With a good, flexible product and a support from key companies, EPOC has a lot of potential to make it in mobile market. PDA HARDWARE Regardless of the type of PDA, they all share the same major features: Microprocessors (Main CPU and DPS) operating system solid-state memory batteries LCD display input device - buttons in combination with touch-screen or keyboard input/output ports desktop PC software MICROPROCESSORS Unlike desk and laptop PCs, PDAs use smaller, cheaper microprocessors. There are two popular PocketPC processor types, Xscale and StrongARM. Xscale is the current technology Most Palms will either have a Motorola Dragonball or Texas Instruments OMAP processor in it. Modern PDAs also have DSP to enhance multimedia (mp3,digital camera etc..) Although the microprocessor's speed ranges from 100-200 MHz they are adequate for the tasks that PDAs perform. The benefits of small size and price outweigh the cost of slow speeds. MEMORY PDAs don't have a hard drive. Programs (address, calendar, OS, etc) are stored in a ROM chip so data remains intact even when the machine shuts down. So when the PDAs are turned ON, all programs are instantly available without having to wait for applications to load. When a file is changed, they're stored automatically so you don't need a Save command. One megabyte of memory can store up to 4,000 addresses and 100 e-mail messages. Also, PocketPCs take more memory space so PDAs with this operating system usually have 16 or 32 MB. In some PDA models, the amount of memory is upgradeable. Input Devices Hand-held computers typically use a miniature keyboard in combination with a touch screen. Palm-sized computers use a stylus and touch screen exclusively in combination with a handwriting recognition program. The screen of the palm PDA serves as an input as well as an output device. It displays information with LCD and on top of it is the touch screen which can be tapped by a pen-like stylus to launch programs. Data can also be written on the screen by using the stylus. The letters are recognized by special software and are automatically stored in the PDAs memory. The disadvantage of handwriting recognition software is that you have to learn a new way to write, it is slower than normal handwriting and the device's character recognition is rarely letterperfect. Input/Output Devices PDAs can share information with desktops and laptops. If you make an appointment on your desktop computer you can transfer it to your PDA and vice-versa. The communication between PDA and PC is referred to as data synchronization or syncing. This is done through a serial or USB port on the PDA. In addition to communicating through a cable, many PDAs have an infrared communications port that uses infrared (IR) light to beam information to a PC or another PDA. Some PDAs also offer wireless methods to transfer data to and from a PC/PC network through a wireless e-mail/internet service provider like those available on new models of cell phones. Finally, some PDAs offer telephone modem accessories to transfer files to and from a PC/PC network. Generic PDA Dual core processors - TI-Enhanced ARM925 Microprocessor - TMS320c55x DSP for Multimedia Enhancement Wanda PDA Tasks performed by each microprocessors DSP/BIOS Bridge API The OS uses the DSP/BIOS Bridge API to: Initiate signal processing task on the DSP Exchange messages with DSP tasks Stream data buffers to and from DSP tasks Pause, resume and delete DSP tasks Perform resources status queries PDA Applications PDA technology has been focused on providing basic administrative functionality, such as diary facilities and contact management. The increase in PDA performance and the convergence with mobile telephony, has encouraged the extension of traditional desktop applications such as email and web access becoming readily available. Wireless technology such as Bluetooth and WiFi (802.11x standards) can provide easy ways for PDA based applications to communicate to other devices. This instantly opens a PDA application to communicate with other systems –in the immediate vicinity (using Bluetooth) or elsewhere within a building (using WiFi technology). Mobile telephone technology is fast converging with PDA technology and this technology can provide direct access of the PDA device to the internet and internet connected applications. Why PDA? We are beginning to see a future where the lines between the PDA and the laptop are increasingly blurred. First it was PDAs with laptop-like capability, and now it is laptops gaining the advantages of PDAs. Advantages of this low-powered PDA mode: virus checking and maintenance. Since the OS doesn't boot, any viruses designed for it won't run. That lets you scan and remove them before they do damage. Booting up a laptop to check your calendar or email can take a minute or longer. Not only is that often dead time, but you may actually be holding up a customer or your boss while you're struggling to get the laptop running.

Donations to Labour dwarfed those given to the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats last year as Ed Miliband's party was handed a £33m boost to its coffers.
Figures released to the Electoral Commission under a statutory obligation show Labour's spending was around £2m less than in 2012 - although the party's income stayed at around the same level.
The Tories declared an income of £25.3m - with £23.5m of that spent on outgoings - and the Lib-Dems received £7.3m and spent £6.8m.
Labours biggest donors included JML founder John Mills, with one cash donation worth £1.6m.
Ukip received £2.47m and the Socialist Party of Great Britain received £340,863, and spent £86,732.
Electoral Commission chief executive Peter Wardle said: "We are pleased that, for the third year running, all the larger political parties have submitted their accounts to us by the statutory deadline. It is essential that parties continue to be transparent with their financial information so voters can see exactly how they are funded and how this money is spent."Reuse content

Dont save the World: An RPG
Sakura River Interactive, the creators of the visual novels Infinite Game Works and Fading Hearts, are in the works creating a RPG called Don't save the World: An RPG.
According to the creators, the game will be non-linear and every choice you make has an effect in the story. Your character, for example, can choose to accept becoming the Hero as offered by the King or refuse it and become a shop keeper.
Ugh, Sakura River. Their first game, Fading Hearts Parallel (which they 'removed temporarily' to improve after really bad reception), has the honor of being the only game I've ever rated 1/10 on VNDB. It was truly so bad it was hilarious.
Fading Hearts improved on the horrid, horrid writing from Fading Hearts Parallel but as a result it just became bad without the hilarity factor, with a plot that was utterly ridiculous (I'm a Y2K bug survivor!!), character interaction that felt very forced, and choices being forced in at every possible point (rather than waiting for reasonable branching points).
Even the overly positive OELVN voters on VNDB (who don't seem to just use 7.0 as average, but as apparent bottom line for many) panned the three games:
Fading Hearts Parallel
Fading Hearts
Infinite Game Works
Their entire existence is a testament to the fact that commercial success is separate from product quality; just have nice graphics (they hire someone externally for that) and market it well, and people will buy it.
I wouldn't play this game even if I were paid for it, let alone pay for its production.
Wow, VDZ, your examples are so hilarious i loled a lot.
I haven't played any of their games yet but get quite an impression with their art quality.
Come on, the next product will always be better, right?
I'll get it if its really good.
Certainly a fun concept if it works. Like the idea of the game completely changing depending on the choices made.
Well, as long as developers try new things into their game, I hope the best will come for them. And it's a good time as there are quite a few English Visual Novel out there being made.

A dedicated CRM system can make huge improvements in the efficiency with which a company is able to manage and organize all their customer related information. CRM software helps keep tabs on all information related to leads, customers, partners and competitors. It greatly decreases the possibility for a company to overlook important details and miscalculate outcomes.
Every organization has its individual business processes and strategies, the CRM system should be customized to match existing and future requirements - an out-of-box solution can lack scalability and hamper user adoption.
Successful CRM implementations ensure users have secure access to create, view and edit all relevant records around-the-clock from any location through web-enabled devices. They enable organizations to focus their energies and money on the demographics most likely to respond to campaigns and ensure optimum lead conversions.
CRM adoption is a conjunctive effort between CRMnext and all stakeholders, understanding the roles, products and unique requirements of all stakeholders is vital.
Like the proverb - 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink', members of the sales team are not likely to enter their records on the CRM software. They are usually weary of allowing visibility for the details of their leads or accounts and therefore the most difficult to convince. Also, some perceive they are wasting time on replicating non-core activities by adding information to the CRM that is already on their personal portable device.
If all CRM users are not convinced to update the CRM system it will lead to a failed implementation - there will be inadequate customer information for generating business intelligence and improving customer experience. Make it clear to all stakeholders that the CRM is for everybody's benefit and not a policing tool to maximize the organization's profits. Clear pipeline visibility, enhanced collaborations and real-time customer information are appreciated by all employees. Also, knowing data is secure, yet accessible from any web-enabled device is beneficial for all customer-facing teams and top management.
The CRM vision dictates what should be done to generate a unique CRM experience and be deeply engraved in the culture of delivering it at all touch points, consistently. Communicating the vision of CRM effectively, hence, ensures that everyone know the value derived from CRM solution. Organizations must use multiple channels to ensure this message is clearly understood. The consistent flow of information also ensures this for new members in the organization. CRM solutions are efficiency tools instead of 'monitoring' tool. Management team must consistently drive the communication instead of individual teams.
Members from across functional roles should share inputs from all customer touch points and customer facing teams. To ensure user friendliness and real-time data, different roles will be required to guarantee coordination, integration and data migration for a 'true' customer view. Enlisting the correct person from each functional role will ensure accountability and accuracy of relevant information.
Most experienced consultants recommend the Core Team should consist of six members. Electing a member of the top management as part of the core team will ensure the correct business goals are incorporated and encourage others to contribute their opinions. Field level staff who will be using the CRM need to be represented, this will assist in creating user friendly interfaces to capture all relevant customer information. Inputs related to inter-departmental coordination, mandatory information and reporting requirements from middle and senior level management will ensure credibility for customer information, dashboards and analytics.
Involve all stakeholders in the requirement study and keep them in the loop for related decisions and configurations.Identify "CRM captains" in every department to collate information and do not ignore their feedback. An information overload should be avoided initially, 'phantom strategies' will lead to inefficienct use of productive time.
What works for the top management is not always relevant for other users and should be incorporated after careful thought. Interfaces with terminology that is not understood by various users will lead to low user adoption. Also, interfaces that are time consuming to upload or access information will frustrate users and customers put on hold.
Clearly explain the benefits of the CRM implementation in relation to each role and specific teams. Motivated users are more prone to using the system than those who are forced.
The sales team can be convinced to adopt the CRM by demonstrating how it will allow more time for core activities and integrate information from multiple systems to reduce paper work.
Explaining the "Give to Get" philosophy explained above will ensure clarity for the purpose of implementing a new CRM system.
Ensuring customer information can be accessed on a single interface without navigating between multiple systems will ensure higher user adoption. Integrate all systems that are used regularly to create or update customer information. Providing a single interface for multiple sytems with real-time data will allow more time for users to build rapport with customers and improve customer experience.
The less time that is spent on accessing other systems, the more that can be effectively used for adding beneficial customer details.
Understand clearly where you are in the CRM evolution cycle and progress step-by-step. There are typically four stages in ascending order - plan, enforce, evolve and enrich.
Set fortnightly "CRM Days", when everyone will focus on updates. Additionally, create "CRM Best Practitioner" awards and incentive programs for teams.

Last days in Lindos
... to the monastery of Thari to see its striking 11th century murals, then noodled back to Lindos through pine woods that have recovered nicely from a major fire in 1986.
Today we had a long lunch at our favorite Lindos restaurant, Mavrikos, with Mary and her German friend Uwe. Walked up to the Acropolis, but it had close early with winter hours. Back to the Museum to visit, putter, and pack.
Tomorrow we're heading home via Athens and London. ...
Indian summer in Lindos
Mary, Shelley & Dan arrived in Lindos Friday afternoon and settled into Mary's beautiful home, aka The Museum. After a slow morning regrouping from our road trip, we headed to the main beach, which is paved with sun beds all summer but comparatively deserted now. Settling into Rosanna's Italian beach taverna, we ordered, had a swim, ate a delicious lunch of seafood risotto and fresh fish, and swam again. The aquamarine sea was clear and warm. Just too dolce for words. ...

text: Is this an annual event? It's in the news that the A303 around Mere is closed with diversions. At the end of 2008 BelAir (Funster) put up a post about it happening last year. My question... We are due to visit our son who lives just west of Warminster. Our usual route is to take the A303 and come off at Mere to drive through Mere and The Deverills to the A350 at Longbridge Deverill. Does anybody know if I can still do that? Or is the A303 closed before the Mere turn-off? I know of other ways to get to Upton Scudamore (we used to live in Warminster) but none of them are as straight forward and convenient. Any knowledge of this would be gratefully received. Thanks John

Great deal on three products that are staples to venture outside with during the summer. The sunglasses are perfect to throw into your pocket once the sun goes down. The sunscreen is a little runny, but it goes on easy, not too greasy and if playing sports or sweating doesn't kill your eyes. Anyone that has experienced a sunburn on their lips won't leave home without the lip balm, kept my lips safe during a 4 hour SUP trip. Recommend.5

text: Our Kind of Town Contributor * required fields From* To* Message cancel EditorialOur Kind of Town Try this exercise . . . close your eyes and picture the City of Chicago. What comes to mind? Lake Michigan, surely, plus many of the city's other famous attractions: The Field Museum, Navy Pier, The Shedd Aquarium and, perhaps, the Art Institute of Chicago or Wrigley Field. Or maybe you thought about the good food, great shopping and magnificent architecture available in this Midwest mecca. What most people probably don't know about Chicago, though, is that its mayor, Richard M. Daley, is firmly committed to making his town "the greenest and most environmentally friendly city in America." Why? Because he knows that protecting the environment makes sense both economically and politically. His scorecard is looking pretty impressive:* Chicago is the most bicycle-friendly city in the nation, with 30 miles of bike paths, 93 miles of designated bicycle lanes on city streets, and more bike racks than any other city in the United States.* Over the last 11 years, the city has reduced daily water use by 160 million gallons, primarily by replacing old water mains. Installing buttons on outdoor water fountains is saving an additional 1.2 million gallons of water per day.* Since a rooftop garden was created on City Hall, more than 80 such gardens have been constructed, or are planned, on top of public and private buildings around the city. * The city's new libraries and police stations have solar panels, reflective roofs and high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, which reduce energy and operating costs. * Chicago is currently acquiring 45 hybrid vehicles, which will reduce emissions and save taxpayers' money. * The Center for Green Technology on the city's West Side is the first municipal building in the world to be awarded a LEED Platinum rating, and one of only six buildings worldwide with that distinction. * The City Energy Plan, adopted in 2001, calls for 20 percent of the energy used by city facilities to come from renewable sources by 2006.In the midst of all this green activity, you will undoubtedly find Doug Farr, founder and president of Farr Associates Architecture and Urban Design, and his fellow firm principals, Jonathan Boyer and Kevin Pierce. In fact, you probably couldn't find a better home for this trio than Chicago, where their unique blending of New Urbanism planning and environmentally conscious architecture is not only welcomed, but wholeheartedly embraced. As you will discover when reading this issue's cover story, they are linked with some of the city's greenest achievements (Farr Associates was the lead architect for the Center for Green Technology) and continue to push the envelope when it comes to the creation of sustainable human environments, not only where people work, but also where they live and play.We're thrilled that Farr Associates have invited us into their new green home during NeoCon. On Tuesday afternoon, NeoCon attendees can preview the recently renovated offices for the firm, located in the historic Monadnock Building, a pilot project for the LEED-Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) rating system. Presented by Interiors & Sources, Kevin Pierce will walk participants through the space and describe how the firm worked to apply LEED-CI to an existing, historically significant space. Specifically, the CEU-accredited tour will highlight the challenges and rewards of working within an historic context to maintain and augment a healthful, functional and attractive work space.The tour of the new Farr Associates' headquarters is part of a whole series of green programs being sponsored by Interiors & Sources at this year's NeoCon, planned in conjunction with the Merchandise Mart, which enthusiastically supports its city's philosophy of promoting environmental initiatives. First is the Green Guide to NeoCon, which, as its name implies, guides NeoCon attendees to exhibitors that are taking a proactive stance in applying sustainable design tenets to both product design and manufacturing processes. Interiors & Sources also sponsors the Environmental Design seminars and an informal Green Walk of showrooms displaying eco-friendly products. Finally, we are the sponsor of the GREENlife exhibit, designed by TVS, that conveys the profound and far-reaching impact design decisions have on the natural and built environment. Frank Sinatra once sang that Chicago is, "One town that won't let you down." The same could certainly be said about NeoCon. Each year, thousands of us make our annual pilgrimage to the Windy City because we know that the few days we spend at the Merchandise Mart will uncover the colors, shapes, finishes, functions and technology that will influence the design of commercial environments in the coming years.NeoCon 2004 will most certainly be a spectacular event, a celebration of great design, creative solutions and, this year, a prevailing endorsement of the positive impact of good green works. So welcome to NeoCon, and to Chicago, where there's certainly more to both than meets the eye.

Lenny Ports
1 Kings 3:5-14
Last week I preached a message called THE POWER OF NEVERTHELESS. Taken from the account of Jesus praying to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane ''O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.'' (Matthew 26:39).
God showed me that when we say to God ''never-the-less'', God says to us, ''always-the-more.'' In other words, when we say I don't want to go my way, I don't want to do it my way, I don't want what I want, but I want what You want, God says, now watch me bless you beyond measure.
It reminds me of the story of King Solomon, the son of David. When David died, the throne was given to Solomon, and watch what happened with Solomon:
I Kings 3:5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, ''Ask! What shall I give you?'' 6 And Solomon said: ''You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. 8 And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. 9 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?'' 10 The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 Then God said to him: ''Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, 12 behold, I have done according to ...

Meet the Link Checker Developer
Why was Link Checker created?
I've been working for an e-commerce company and recently while spending time with one of my SEO colleagues I noticed that to check whether our link still exists on our link partner's website or not and also to ensure that it is not marked nofollow, she was going through the following steps.
1. Open the page where she needs to check the link.
2. Right-click on it.
3. Select "view-source" from the right-click menu.
4. In the view-source window, press Ctrl+F to find.
5. Write name of our website or some other word in url.
6. Check carefully if it's a dofollow link or nofollow link.
So I promised her to create something to help her. Here I'm.. with this add-on. She can now find all the links with only ONE click.
What's next for Link Checker
1. To let the user choose the highlight color for both nofollow and dofollow links.
2. To let the user choose whether he/she wants to make it work on individual tabs or on all the tabs with one click.
Of course, you guys' suggestions and feedbacks will be considered as priority in every update. So, I'd be glad if you write a review or a mail to me at email@example.com with your suggestions and feedbacks.

Plot: In the 1970s, a British sound technician is brought to Italy to work on the sound effects for a gruesome horror film. His nightmarish task slowly takes over his psyche, driving him to confront his own past. Berberian Sound Studio is many things: an anti-horror film, a stylistic tour de force, and a dream of cinema. As such, it offers a kind of pleasure that is rare in films, while recreating in a highly original way the pleasures of Italian horror cinema.

We ended up staying overnight at
Walmart in Gainesville TX. Not a great stop as we weren't very level,
it was a little warm to be comfortable and they had trains all night.
But once again grateful that it was free.
September 29th – day 148
We left Gainesville before 9am and
headed North into Oklahoma on our way towards Amarillo. There was a
slightly more direct route but we wanted to see Lawton ...
All I can say is.....wow
... and I get pulled over right before a toll booth where there was construction going on so I had a coned off area to pull over in.
I was scratching my head on this one......but, what are the chances that I get pulled over right in front of the Toll highway maintenance garage? Slim, but there I was.

The problem of ethnic insurgencies and its impact on state building in Myanmar
€ 13,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
November 2007
BeschreibungSeminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: South Asia, grade: 2,0, Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies Nanyang Technological University (Institute of Defense and Strategic Studies, Singapore), course: Government and Politics of Southeast Asia, 21 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Since more than 40 years, Myanmar is ruled by a military junta, calling itself the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC). It is today the last military regime of its kind in Southeast Asia. Due to disastrous economic policies initiated by the government, Myanmar belongs to the world's Least Developed Countries (LCD's), the majority of its population living below poverty line. Despite multiparty elections in 1990 that resulted in the main opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), winning a landslide victory, the ruling junta refused to hand over power. Therefore, the military regime lacks the legitimacy to rule, but nevertheless they do so by using force to suppress oppositional movements. Myanmar is one of the ethnically most diverse countries in the world, consisting of more than 100 different ethnic groups with their own history. Since its independence from Britain in 1948, Myanmar has experienced numerous conflicts between the central government and ethnic minority groups seeking autonomy. In this research paper, the reasons for the ethnic insurgency movements will be analyzed, as well as how the military regime has dealt with this conflicts. At the end, the state building process in Myanmar will be examined with the help of the "State in Society" approach by Joel Migdal.

Still have questions? We've got answers.
What if you don't work with my supplier?
My suppliers have different order minimums, does BlueCart know the difference?
Yep. BlueCart is completely customizable. Buyers and suppliers can set delivery minimums and dates easily.
Are suppliers' prices listed publicly for everyone to see?
NO WAY! Suppliers only share their catalogs with buyers they trust. Sorry for the all caps. It's just.. No. We're very serious about this one.
Will you charge my supplier or sales rep if I give you my product list / order guide?
Nope. Suppliers that don't want to be on the platform don't have to be. We're not forcing anyone and there are no shady charges. We just think that once suppliers see the beauty that is simple, automatically organized orders, they won't want to do it any other way. If they decide against joining, you can still order from them via BlueCart, they just won't get the full benefits of ordering made simple.
What happens if an order doesn't get delivered?
Same thing as happens now. You get in touch with your supplier and figure out what happened. BUT, this time you both have an awesome tool to help solve the problem: a clear record of all communication tied directly to a specific order. Pinpoint the problem, fix the mistake, and get back to business. No more confusion.
Can more than one person place orders for my restaurant?
Sure! You can have as many accounts as you want... within reason. Give everyone who places orders their own login for maximum transparency. Let the bar manager order for the bar, the kitchen manager order for the kitchen, and whoever orders toilet paper can do that too.
Does BlueCart process payments?
Not yet. For now, payments are between buyers and suppliers. Eventually we may look into this, but for now, you can keep handling payments the way you always have.
I'm setting up a new restaurant and don't have any suppliers yet, can you help?
Absolutely! We would love to connect you with suppliers on our platform. It's up to them if they want to share their catalogs with you and accept your orders... but we're happy to make the introduction! Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
I need to add additional products to my list, what do I do?
No problem, just send your update to email@example.com in whatever format you have. Excel Sheet? Word Doc? Picture on your phone? No problem. We have bots for that. (And Frank. Frank's pretty good at fixing things too.)
How safe is my information?
Our servers are hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and secured using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) with Symantec's SSL Certificate's 256 bit key encryption to ensure your data is always protected. I have no idea what this means. If you want more information, ask Jag.

The Flams didn't win a race (2-4-2) but Barney's key advice to Steve drawn from 86 years on earth was offered on the final leg of the first race: 'Be sure we're going to the right finish line.'
Steve explained afterward, 'We got a bit of a lucky break when Chris Raab went to the wrong line, or he would have won the event.'
Both trailed runaway leader Mike Van Dyke's Maniacal in a fleet scattered across the inner harbor searching for the fastest route to the finish. Raab, a world-class veteran in small boats, especially Lasers, was headed for a strong finish but crossed the line on the wrong side of the committee boat. Van Dyke had already crossed the proper line set on the other side of the boat opposite the start line.
'He didn't see Mike finishing because Mike was so far ahead,' Steve Flam said.
Raab's subsequent ninth place---he beat one boat---cost him seven points and overall victory, so even a third and first in the last two races couldn't save him. Meantime, the Flams held off Stan Gibbs, with sons Riley and Sawyer as crew, by one point, eight to nine, with Raab third at 13.
'That's racing,' Steve Flam said with a shrug.
Meanwhile, inside on Alamitos Bay, Golison, a formidable Etchells class campaigner, was making it look easy in the Lido 14 fleet until he threw caution to what little wind there was and jumped the start in the third and last race. He immediately returned to restart and had taken the lead before the end of the first or two laps.
'A couple of guys pushed us over [the line],' Golison said. 'It was kind of fun working it out … trying hard and coming back.'
He spoke for the spirit of the event. Over a quarter-century the Long Beach Charity Regatta for The Children's Clinic has raised more than half a million dollars for the six non-profit 501c (3) licensed community health clinics serving low income, uninsured and underinsured children and their families in the greater Long Beach area.

Growing up reading (and delivering) the dour local papers in Belfast, I was a latecomer to the Guardian. I was amazed anything as funny as Pass Notes was allowed in a serious newspaper, and adored the flippant G2 TV writing, which has probably been an unhealthy influence on my writing style. I now work in music, so I'm thankful to the Guide for introducing me to some of my favourite bands, and for getting me through my first festival with the mini-guide, which I still have in a drawer.
These days my relationship with the Guardian largely takes place on the live over-by-over cricket reports, which combine some brilliant writing and questionable life advice. I've also had a smart-arse reply published in Notes & Queries, a problem somewhat solved by Private Lives and a childish thrill the first time I had a proper letter published in the paper itself. Over the years I've picked up a load of old Bedside Guardians from charity shops, as well as the books of Pass Notes. It seems to me the Guardian is now more necessary than ever. Having broken some huge global stories recently. In a strange way I feel like I'm "doing my bit" when I go out of my way to buy the paper, rather than reading it online for free. The crossword isn't as much fun online anyway.

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem for a coupled system of nonlinear viscoelastic wave equations of Kirchhoff type with Balakrishnan–Taylor damping terms. For certain class of relaxation functions and certain initial data, we prove that the decay rate of the solution energy is similar to that of relaxation functions which is not necessarily of exponential or polynomial type. Also, we show that nonlinear source of polynomial type is able to force solutions to blow up in finite time even in presence of stronger damping.

'Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullah!' I turned my head to left saying Salam, ending my Taraweeh and then hurried opening my bag. She was sniffing and I knew she was having a hard time praying. I thought to give her my tissue pack as soon as our prayer ends. And then, it had ended but I was unable to handle her that. I was shy. That was a new place for me. I did not know their language. And above all, there were two girls between us, I wasn't even sure if I could cross them and hand her the tissues. 'What if it's impolite here? I don't even know their culture.' She sniffed again.
'Just give her. If you intend good, go for it.' thinking this I leaned forward. Just when I was about to hand her a tissue pack, the girl between us handed her one. She took it and gave her a beautiful Dua. I sat back with my tissue pack and a saddened heart.
This wasn't the first time I had lost my chance.

"…Then of them are some who wrong their ownselves, and of them are some who follow a middle course, and of them are some who are, by Allah's Leave, foremost in good deeds. That (inheritance of the Qur'an), that is indeed a great grace…" (Fatir35:32)
Sitting in the lawn and having my lunch, I was still engrossed in that day's lesson. The Ayah had left me in awe. Just the thought of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (sa) running for good deeds, in order to surpass in goodness, made me smile. 'I won't lose my chance of a good deed ever again, I will forerun, Insha'Allah!' I promised myself and continued eating.
After a little while, I saw somebody dropping some trash near the classroom. It was a little away from where I was sitting with friends. "Let me get up and throw it in the dust bin. I will keep this place clean; this is where we learn about Allah (swt)." I had my next bite thinking. "Yeah just this last bite, I am going to get up." I wiped my hands, drank few sips of water. "I am going to do this for Allah (swt) because cleanliness is my Deen. He gave me a chance to do this, I am so lucky." Muttering as I was walking towards it slowly, feeling happy about this little good deed I was about to do. Just when I reached closer, someone picked it up seconds before me and threw it in the bin. She turned back and smiled, "Did I just win?" She was my teacher and was referring to the lesson she had taught earlier.
"I thought I will pick it up after a bite. I was coming here anyway." I explained myself. The truth is, I hated it. I wanted to fore-run her.
"When He gives you a chance to do something good, do not give it a second thought. He has His mighty army. Always ready. If you hesitate, someone else will take over. Remember, it's a competition!" She tapped my shoulder and walked away.
*** *** ***
We are sent to this Dunya for a trial period. We are being tested every day, every moment. Sometimes, we go through happy moments, and other times we are afflicted with hardships. We are taught to face these times with gratitude, patience and sacrifice. It is our connection with His Majesty that matters in every situation. However, there are some other times when we are tested with the chances to do good deeds. These are the times when we have option to either perform a certain action of goodness or go past it. The fact is, though usually not considered- this is also a form of test.
When He gives you a chance to perform a virtue, He actually has chosen you over entire mankind. He wants you to get up and do it. He has opened the door for you. He has let the angels write your name in their Book, while you perform the act of goodness. He has blessed you with His mercy. This is your moment to pick. However, if you delay your performance by ignoring it or over thinking due to the pinches of Satan, then know that Allah (swt) does not need your service. There are people whose hearts are full of Iman. Their eagerness to do good deeds is like a gushing stream. They are ready to die in His way. They would run and compete with others just for the sake of His pleasure. When you lose your chances of goodness, remember that Allah (swt) is not dependent on your choices. That deed will be done, anyway. But you, my friend, have lost your chance!
"For every nation there is a direction to which they face (in their prayers). So hasten towards all that is good. Wheresoever you may be, Allah will bring you together (on the Day of Resurrection). Truly, Allah is Able to do all things." (Al-Baqarah 2:148)
Next time, when you see an old lady wanting to cross road, do not delay. Go hold her hand and help. When you see an injured cat, mumbling on roadside, do not go past it. When you see two people fighting, do not ignore. When you see a hungry man crying, do not hesitate. When you see an orphan with no clothes, do not neglect. When you are invited for charity work, do not overlook.
When you see, a chance to do good, do not think twice, Be a forerunner!
