The National Road Safety Council has ruled that the BMW 3 Series sedan is built poorly in India, and also that global carmakers are compromising on safety when it comes to selling cars in India. The government body has accused BMW of making the 3 Series less safe in India, compared to models being sold outside.
The Road Safety Council crash tested 12 BMW 3 Series cars, and all of them split into two. The body also says that the crash test was done on which side the safety was given an average rating.
Commenting on the situation, BMW says that all their cars sold in India meet global safety system and is also consistent. At the moment, road accident fatalities in India is the highest in the world.
Along with the BMW 3 Series, the National Road Safety Council has claimed the now out of production Maruti 800 is also very poorly built. Maruti has not commented yet.

Anybody Know About Callebaut?
Decorating By karateka Updated 28 Jan 2009 , 10:25am by marriedtoagreek74
I have a request for nut free chocolate cupcakes. Now, my Callebaut cocoa powder does not have a nut allergy warning......I've emailed the company, but don't have a response yet. The cakes are due 2/1, so I'm a little anxious for a reply.
Any input? Anybody know for a fact whether it's safe for nut allergies?
I got a call back from Callebaut....he said the facility was nut free, so I was ok for making a cake from their cocoa powder for a nut allergic client. Just thought somebody might want to know for future reference.
Thanks! I looked at your post shortly after you made it, but I didn't know the answer. (I do have a nut allergy, so I am glad to know this is safe.)
Thanks for that info. I checked their site, but couldn't find any info about nutfree.
Hey Karateka,
I use Callebaut as well, love it! My DH is so spoiled to it that he (a HUGE chocoholic) won't eat something with a subpar cocoa! I tried Schaffen & one other when I was at home and the didn't compare!! Thanks for the nut allergy info though, that' good to know, I don't typically get those requests here though.
I was wondering if you would mind telling me how much you pay for yours, just out of curiosity. I pay about 7 euros per kilo here which is about $9.5-10 per kilo in a bulk bag of 5 kgs. I am always thinking about how much cheaper things are at home so figured it would be as well, just wondering, longing for the cheaper prices

After the eviction Upen, Karishma and Diandra were seen bitching about Puneet and his manipulative tactics. Karishma thinks his acts are evil and that he is just portraying to be someone else. Also she thinks that he has two faces and that the P3G group needs to break down so that there is less negativity in the house. Whatever Soni communicated, when she got evicted is hovering in the minds of the contestants. Upen also pointed out that even when Deepshikha left she did speak about Puneet and his ill behavior which really did upset her. I think contestants are finally getting to see the true color of Puneet and a gist of the kind of games he is playing.
Karishma and Diandra along with Pritam and Aarya were even seen commenting on Sonali's way of cleaning the verandah. Karishma thinks she has the guts to clean the way she's cleaning now. Pritam copied her style and in fact even went up to her to tell her that she is doing a brilliant job and that Minissha needs to learn this from her. It was a sarcastic remark yet she chose to ignore it and continue the way she was doing it.
Later the nominations took place wherein Ali was given a special advantage of naming any two contestants who would straight away get nominated for this week. He took Sonali and Praneet's name. For both of them he gave a single reason that they don't work properly, which really did upset Praneet. Sushant and Minissha were bitching about the way Praneet showed off his work when he got nominated by Ali. Anyhow, the contestants who got nominated along with Sonali and Praneet are Puneet, Gautam and Minissha.
We saw some hardcore flirting happening between Sonali and Upen last night. It looks like Upen has taken a fancy to Sonali. He was asking her whether she likes Gautum or not. To which she replied saying that she doesn't understand Gautam and his behavior. It seems everything will get back to the way it was few episodes ago since Soni, Upen's "sister†has left the house.

April 2014
From the Northern parts of Wisconsin, our stay in Destin was relaxing and the condo was a PERFECT place for our family. Despite flash floods upon arrival and our stay starting off in the 50's, the Babineau condo was welcoming and truly home away from home! We enjoyed the beach during the day and evening. My boys (4 & 8) enjoyed the walk looking for turtles and sea shells. Proud to say future beach bums!
We did go to the Gulfarium and were amazed by the animals and display. Dolphin show was an added treat. Enjoyed a delicious dinner at McGuires- definitely a place to dine. I'm not a bread person but the homemade bread there is amazingly delicious. SouthBay is a very peaceful place and safe place for families! Enjoyed a couple days on the beach without being too crowded.
Simply lovely. My dad enjoyed fresh seafood at Bubba Gump's as well before leaving.
Thanks for a great place to stay in Paradise!
We had a wonderful week in Destin! The weather was great and the beach was beautiful. The accommodations were clean, spacious, and everything was in good working order. The pool was just a short walk and very nice. The location is very convenient as well; close to many nice restaurants, outlets, and beach stores. We loved it so much we're looking into returning again next summer! Thanks again Dennie and Terry.
This is a very accommodating home that met all of our needs. Love the pool was just steps away from us. So much to do in a several mile stretch. My husband played golf on 2 different courses. We brought our own kayaks & braved the ocean in them. Shopped the outlet (& several other stores!). Fireworks on the beach were just spectacular. We rented beach chairs & umbrella one day, so easy to arrange. Drove down to PCB twice, just under an hours drive. Of course the ocean and beach were just beautiful and so clean. The town home is very clean, plenty of hot water for our family of 6, and spacious enough for us not to feel as though we're all on top of one another. Comfortable beds, slept like a baby every night.
We loved the home and the location. Property owners were great to work with and will use again when booking the next family vacation.
My Husband & I spent from January 1st. to March 1,2015. What a wonderful location and what a wonderful home. We found the home to be well equipped and very comfortable. The owner, Dennie ans his family are very nice to deal with.We found Destin area to be full of things to do and places to eat and shop. My Husband says that we could have eaten out every meal over the two months and never eat at the same place twice! The placed we liked the best was the Surf Hut. Great food, beautiful view and great food. We went fishing on the Sweet Jody and caught Red Grouper and Conine. The captain and the crew members were wonderful and very helpful.If you are looking for a place to have a comfortable stay and lots to do this is the place for you. Dick, Cindy and Maggie May from upstate N.Y.
We had a wonderful time in Destin. Your home is so lovely and we enjoyed ourselves so much! The beach was fabulous and the water incredibly clear. After having vacationed on Atlantic beaches for the past 15 years, we may never go again. The beach in Destin was by far the best we have ever been too and we have now found our new vacation spot!
We enjoyed several area restaurants. Our favorite was Gilligans and the kids really enjoyed Fudpuckers. They were able to feed the alligators (look in local coupon books for a free voucher for alligator food), hold an alligator and they had a hoola-hoop contest for the kids on the dance floor. They really had a great time and the food was good too (try the pineapple slaw).
The outlet malls are not too far away, 20 minutes maybe depending on traffic. The grocery store across the street was very convenient as well as Target.
We will definitely be returning.
The property was great. It had everything that we were looking for. We are ages 69 and 87. Our grandchildren visited and were 11-18, as well as their parents. It offered something for everyone. The townhouse itself was very nice, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was really, really well stocked with equipment. The décor was beautiful and it was very clean. The owners were so friendly, helpful and gracious. They could not have been better. The complex was in a great location for restaurants and shopping, we could walk if we wanted to. On one side out of the parking lot was businesses and the other was the beach. The pictures of the complex and the townhouse are true. My husband and grandson went deep sea fishing on the Sweet Jody and caught lots of fish, they will do that again. Our son played golf and the girls shopped. We also attended a wonderful church there. We purchased shrimp the size of your hand and cooked them our self, great. All in all it was a great trip, we have had motor homes and done winters overseas and Mexico, this is just as good. My daughter said the sand was the prettiest of anyplace she had ever been. We will go back. I might add we celebrated 47 years of marriage in Destin and enjoyed it immensely.

The invention disclosed herein relates generally to mail metering systems, and more particularly to generating and authenticating a fraud-resistant postage indicium for a mail piece.
Currently, one can send a mailpiece (e.g., letter, package, etc.) through the United States Postal Service (hereafter referred to as USPS) using a postage indicium as evidence of postage payment. The sender may employ a postage meter certified by the USPS (or the postal service of another country) to generate the indicium. The indicium is generally printed on a meter tape (which is later attached to the mailpiece) or directly onto the mailpiece itself, using a printer associated with the postage meter, which may be, for example, an inkjet printer, a thermal transfer printer, or a laser printer. The indicium can subsequently be authenticated by the USPS. For example, an optical scanning device may be used to read the indicium and a verification algorithm may be used to verify the authenticity of the indicium (e.g., by decoding and interpreting information contained within the indicium).
As is known, a number of different postal indicia are specified by and permitted by the USPS. One particular type of indicium is specified in the USPS's Information Based Indicia Program (IBIP). An IBIP indicium includes both a machine readable portion and a human readable portion that may contain (without limitation) information related to the paid postage amount, the issuance date, the postage meter identification number, a postal service symbol, and the class of service. The machine readable portion is typically comprised of a Data Matrix symbology (i.e., a two-dimensional barcode) which may carry cryptographically protected information, such as the postage amount and other postal data that relates to the mailpiece and to the postage meter that prints the indicium. The encrypted information, which is usually referred to as a digital token or a digital signature, is used for authentication purposes. The encryption is also used to protect the integrity of the information, including the postage amount, imprinted on the mailpiece for later verification of postage payment. Since the digital token incorporates encrypted information relating to evidencing of postage payment, altering the printed information in an indicium is detectable by standard authentication procedures. Examples of systems that are capable of generating and printing such indicia are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,725,718, 4,757,537, 4,775,246 and 4,873,645, each assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
One security problem that exists with the use of IBIP indicia relates to copying of the indicia for reuse. More specifically, a thief may attempt to re-use an indicium by making copies of an indicium on different pieces of meter tape. The piece(s) of meter tape with the copied indicium is then applied to a mail piece and deposited in the mail, without the thief having paid for the postage. Compounding this problem is the fact that technology has become so advanced that even standard consumer devices, such as photocopiers and printers, are capable of producing credible copies of the indicium (i.e., detection of the copied postage is difficult).
Another security problem relates to a single indicium being printed multiple times. For example, a thief may tamper with the postage meter device such that an indicium is printed multiple times (e.g., on different portions of the meter tape, on different mailpieces, etc.) even though the postage amount paid was intended to be associated with a single use.
Thus, there exists a need for a mail metering system that can generate indicia with suitable security properties to allow detection of fraudulent use of the indicia.
One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for producing a postage indicium on a meter tape including determining a location on the meter tape where the indicium is to be printed, generating the indicium with information related to the location incorporated therein, and printing the indicium on the meter tape at the location.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a mail metering system including a detection device, a processor, and a printing device. The detection device is structured to detect a spatial indicator associated with a meter tape. The processor is in operable communication with the detection device and is adapted to execute a routine to determine a location on the meter tape where an indicium is to be printed and to generate the indicium with information related to the location incorporated therein. The printing device is in operable communication with the processor and is structured to print the indicium on the meter tape at the determined location.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of authenticating a postage indicium printed on a meter tape. The method includes retrieving information stored within the indicium, the information identifying a first location where the indicium is supposed to be positioned relative to some initial point on the meter tape, detecting a spatial indicator to identify a second location where the indicium is actually positioned relative to the initial point on the meter tape, and comparing the first location to the second location.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a mail authenticating system including a detection device and a processor. The detection device is structured to detect a spatial indicator and a postage indicium associated with a meter tape. The processor is in operable communication with the detection device. The processor is adapted to execute a routine to retrieve information stored within the indicium, the information identifying a first location where the indicium is supposed to be positioned relative to some initial point on the meter tape, to retrieve information encoded within the spatial indicator, the information identifying a second location where the indicium is actually positioned relative to the initial point on the meter tape, and to compare the first location to the second location.
Therefore, it should now be apparent that the invention substantially achieves all the above aspects and advantages. Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description that follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Moreover, the aspects and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
The accompanying drawings illustrate presently preferred embodiments of the invention, and together with the general description given above and the detailed description given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention. As shown throughout the drawings, like reference numerals designate like or corresponding parts.
As employed herein, the term "number" shall mean one or more than one and the singular form of "a", "an", and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
An apparatus and method for preventing postage fraud is discussed herein. More specifically, a meter tape having a symbology which identifies specific locations on the meter tape is employed in a mail metering system. The mail metering system detects the symbology, uses the symbology to determine a specific location on the meter tape where an indicium is to be printed, generates an indicium which includes the specific location information encoded therein, and prints the indicium at that specific location on the meter tape. The portion of the meter tape having the indicium is then applied to a mailpiece which is deposited into the mail. Once received, a postal authority may scan the indicium and the symbology from the meter tape that was placed on the mailpiece. The postal authority may then compare the specific location information encoded in the indicium to the actual location of the indicium relative to the symbology to verify that the indicium is authentic. The term location refers to coordinates in one or two dimensions with a margin of error determined by the equipment used to produce the meter tape with the symbology, and the metering equipment used to produce the indicium. It should be noted that while the following description is provided with respect to a mail metering system and authentication system for generating and verifying postage indicia that evidences payment of postage for mail pieces, the present invention is not so limited and can be used with any type of system in which an indicium is generated and printed to verify payment or other types of information.
Detection device 2 is structured to detect any number of markings present on a medium that is examined. For example (and without limitation), detection device 2 is structured to detect one or more spatial indicators associated with the meter tape. As employed herein, the term "spatial indicator" (and all derivatives thereof) refers generally to any symbology which corresponds to and/or identifies unique positions on a medium. For example, a spatial indicator may refer to a symbology which corresponds to one or more coordinates that specify the location of a point, line, area, etc. on a meter tape. Although the preferred embodiment shows a one-dimensional spatial indicator running parallel to the length of the indicium, the orientation of the spatial indicator may be perpendicular to the long side of the indicium. A two-dimensional coordinate of the indicium can be used as an input or an indicium printed on a sheet. An example of a symbology that provides a two-dimensional coordinate to locate a point on a sheet is the symbology as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,548,768. Detection device 2 can be any conventional detection device such as, for example, a scanner.
Processor 3 is in operable communication with detection device 2 and is structured to execute any number of routines for, without limitation, generating and printing postage indicia. For example, processor 3 is structured to execute a routine that is adapted to receive information related to the detection of a spatial indicator on a meter tape; responsive to receipt of that information, to determine a location on the meter tape where an indicium is to be printed (e.g., a location where a particular portion of the indicium is to be located); to generate an indicium which incorporates the determined location information therein; and to cause the printing device 4 to print the indicium on the meter tape at the determined location. It should be noted that processor 3 may execute other routines while remaining within the scope of the present invention. For example, processor 3 is structured to execute routines related to other cryptographic processing of information contained within the indicium.
It should be noted that the mail metering system 1 may also include other components, the discussion of which have generally been omitted for clarity. For example, mail metering system 1 may include a number of input devices (not shown) which are in operable communication with processor 3 and which permit a user to interface with the mail metering system 1. The input devices may include a keyboard, mouse, and/or postage scale, among others.
Printing device 4 is in operable communication with the processor 3 and is structured to print the indicia generated by processor 3. In the exemplary embodiment, for example, printing device 4 is structured to print indicia on the meter tape. More specifically, printing device 4 is structured to print, at a specific location on the meter tape, an indicium which contains encoded location information identifying that specific location.
Generally, mail metering system 1 is employed to print postage for a mailpiece. It should be noted that a separate device may be used by a postal authority, for example the USPS, to verify that the postage printed by the mail metering system 1 is authentic by determining whether the indicium is printed in the proper place. This separate device may include a scanner structured to scan the printed postage and symbology on the meter tape and a processor structured to execute a routine adapted to decode the information within the indicium that identifies where the indicium is supposed to be positioned on the meter tape, determine where the indicium is actually positioned on the meter tape, and compare the supposed position of the indicium to the actual position of the indicium on the meter tape.
Although the spatial indicator 6 is discussed in the context of a number of blocks 6 a arranged in a serial fashion, it should be apparent that other symbologies may be used while remaining within the scope of the present invention. More specifically, the symbology can be any type of one-dimensional code that holds sufficient information to ensure that the various portions along a meter tape may be uniquely identified. For example, PostNet code, OCR, and 4-state barcode symbologies (among others) are contemplated. Meter tape 5 may also incorporate additional security features. For example, meter tape 5 may include forensically verifiable features such as fluorescence, special security inks, a watermark, and/or unusual spacing of the symbology that makes undetectable copying difficult.
It should be noted that in the exemplary embodiment, the meter tape 5 is processed by the mail metering device 1 in a serial fashion. For example, the meter tape 5 is passed through the detection device 3 and/or printing device 4 from right to left as illustrated by arrow 24 in
In an exemplary embodiment shown in
In the current embodiment, an N-bit LFSR is selected so that the cycle is (2N−1) bits. As a result, a 32-bit LFSR would repeat after approximately four billion bits, whereas a 64-bit LFSR would not repeat for any reasonable estimate of usage. The LFSR uses an array of N+1 registers R0(t) . . . RN(t) and N taps C1 . . . CN. At each step, R0(t) is the output bit. The update for step "t" is RN(t+1)=XORj=0 . . . N−1 (Rj(t) AND CN−j). For i from 0 to N−1, set Ri(t+1)=Ri+1(t) and output R0(t). There is no need to parse the output because each bit is the next in sequence generated by the same algorithm.
It should be noted that mail metering system 1 in the embodiment of
Although discussed in conjunction with an LFSR, it should be noted that a routine adapted to employ another algorithm may be employed while remaining within the scope of the present invention. For example, each inch (or other unit of measure) may be labeled using a Fibonacci representation of the distance from the origin 6 d in inches (or other unit of measure). The Fibonacci sequence is [F0, F1, . . . ]=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . . Fn=Fn−1+Fn−2 . . . ]. The Fibonacci representation of a number N is constructed by finding the largest element Fn of the Fibonacci sequence smaller than N. The nth position in the expansion of the number is set to 1. The procedure is repeated with N−Fn until there is zero remainder. One advantage of using a Fibonacci representation is that it is binary (0's and 1's) but there are never two 1's in-a-row. Thus, two 1's in-a-row appearing in the bit stream 23 can be used to help parse the stream of bits into locations. The first few natural numbers are represented as [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]=>[1, 10, 100, 101, 1000, 1001, 1010, 10000, 10001].
It should also be noted that the printer 4 may be instructed to randomly advance the meter tape 5 prior to executing operation 13 (i.e., effectively changing the origin 6 d for that portion of the meter tape). The random advance makes it more difficult for a thief to predict the supposed location of the next indicium when a number of meter tape segments having the same lengths are printed in sequence.
Other alternatives may also be used. For example, a random or pseudorandom stream of data may be generated and used; any systematically generated stream of data may be used; and/or a stream of data may be generated using a key such that each sequence in the stream can systematically be checked for authenticity. As yet another example, detection device 2 may be placed at a distance sufficiently upstream of the printing device 4. Accordingly, the detection device 2 can detect the spatial indicator 6 such that the processor 3 knows the bit stream (i.e., does not need to predict which bits will be seen). Thus, processor 3 can determine which portion of the meter tape 5 is currently being processed within the mail metering system 1. The processor 3 can generate an indicium incorporating the specific location on the meter tape 5 where the indicium is to be printed. Accordingly, when that portion of the meter tape 5 reaches the downstream printing device 4, the printing device 4 can print the indicium at that specific location.
After the location as to where the indicium will be printed on the meter tape 5 is determined with reference to the spatial indicator 6, operational control is passed to operation 14 shown in
After the indicium is generated in operation 14, the indicium is printed on the meter tape 5 in operation 15. More specifically, printing device 4 prints the indicium at the location on the meter tape 5 that was determined in operation 13. In the current example, printing device 4 prints the indicium such that the leading edge 7 a of bar code 7 (which is the beginning of the indicium) is located on the surface 5 a of meter tape 5 at the position corresponding with block 6 b (i.e., the starting location as determined in operation 13).
Operational control then passes to operation 18 where the spatial indicator 6 on the surface 5 a of meter tape 5 is detected. In general, the actual location of the indicium is determined in operation 18. More specifically, in the embodiment shown in
A determination is made at operation 19 as to whether the supposed location of the indicium (i.e., as retrieved from the indicium in operation 17) is the same as the actual location (i.e., as detected in operation 18). In the embodiment shown in
Unlike stock mailing labels which are of fixed length, the length of the meter tape 5 may vary. As will be shown in
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Additions, deletions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as limited by the foregoing description but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.

Googlemaps extension Edit
With this extension it is hoped that each track page will display a world map with the venue's location marked. Since this is a 1:1 mapping and precision is not very important this semantic annotation will probably be implemented within the template called by a semantic form. This means that a user will not be able to enter a custom pair of coordinates for any of the 16 standard venues.
It may be desirable to have a set of local coordinates for each venue so that a user can "drill down" from the world map view and seamlessly be taken to a tiled map view of the VSK5 created 3D world for each venue. This is a "nice to have" feature that will take a low priority, initially. This should also very nicely side-step the inevitable discrepancies that will exist between the Nadeo created 3D world in which we cyber-race and the real world satellite images that are available via the Google Maps extension.
- It seems pointless to plot race courses from the 3D world on real world maps derived from Google Maps however it is possible to fracture a composite map of a 3D world into square tiles and then make those tiles behave in the same way that the satellite image tiles behave for the well-known Google Map product. It is not a trivial task but it has been done at one Wikia-hosted wiki before this one.

After a long trip from the west coast of the USA & a bus trip from Pisa, I arrived in Lucca as the rain started. I walked a couple of blocks in the rain & was extremely at the hotel with an apology about the weather :). Check in was quick & easy & I was able to re-group & go out to explore Lucca.
The location is perfect! As a single female I always felt safe coming back to the hotel & walking all over Lucca, in fact I fell in love with Lucca.
The room & bathroom were super clean, breakfast was just enough & they were always accommodating, I would definitely stay at this hotel again. It's not luxurious but clean, friendly & many restaurants near the hotel.

Is it possible to have multiple versions of one form?Asked by michaelbann on November 02, 2016 at 10:11 AM
Is it possible to create a master form that can then be parsed out to different pages with certain fields or values hidden? Ultimately I would love if those "sub versions" could be on unique web pages but add all submissions to one master database record
JotForm Support
It is not possible to have multiple versions of the same form, I mean you cannot have more than one form and have all the submissions in the same form.
What I would suggest you is to create one form only with all the fields you need, then add the Get Form Page URL widget that will help you to know the webpage where the form is embedded this way you will be able to show certain fields based on this.
Here's the link to the widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/get_form_page_url
This guide will help you to add a widget to your form: How-to-Add-a-Widget-to-your-Form
This guide will help you to set up the conditions to hide fields based on the link where the form is embedded on: How-to-Show-or-Hide-Fields-Base-on-User-s-Answer
Hope this helps.

About MeI am a model of experience. I have been into modeling since I was young. I have done three competitions, two bikini and one lingerie. I have done ten + photo shoots and am comfortable with others in my shoot as well. I am an accounting major at The University of Akron and am very outgoing, spontaneous, and interested to new ideas. I love to sing and write music/songs. I wish to further my modeling talent, and experience new things. I would love to do a fashion show, because I am extremely interested in fashion.
I don't do any free work or me having to pay to shoot. (Modeling is professional to me).
If contacted I would like to know where and when the shoot is, and what the theme of the shoot will be.
Any out of town shoots I would like to know if expenses are paid.
Best way to contact me is through via text message, phone call, Facebook or on here, but it's easier to contact me from the first two.

|RE: Sitemap DTD or extended samples.
|Thu, 04 May 2000 13:49:40 GMT
Once Cocoon-1.7.3 is ready, it should take less than 30 minutes for me to have the RPMs created. As I said before, I've also got RPMs for Xerces-J and Xalan-J (and Steven Coffman asked if I might pull FOP out into its own RPM as well). This allows one to update any of the components on the fly as new versions become available. All packages are build for Linux + Apache (or RedHat's Apache-based Secure Web Server) + JServ. My next ambitious plan might be to try and make everything work on top of JServ OR Tomcat, but that'll take some crafty shell-script writing. I'm still a bit new with RPMs, and in my experience you need to place the Source files (in the Cocoon case it would be the dist-tgz created tarball) in a special SOURCES directory. That makes RPM building from within the distribution directory tree tricky at best. Let's just get Cocoon-1.7.3-1.noarch.rpm (and Cocoon-doc-1.7.3.noarch.rpm) out the door and I'll investigate building it inside the distribution build.sh system next, okay?

AmHydro Oasis Wedge Growing Medium (in tray)
- Sold By: American Hydroponics
- Categories: Cannabis, Leafy Greens/Herbs, NFT Growing Supplies, Propagation Supplies
Wedge-shaped growing medium designed specifically for starting unrooted cuttings. Excellent for automated processes. Each cube is tapered from top to bottom, which directs root development downward for rapid root development and minimizes the need for dibbling during transplanting. Each cell/cube is singulated, therefore, there is no tangling of fibrous root systems. Products come preloaded in a tray, and are immediately ready to use upon receipt.
This growing medium is a rigid, open-celled, water absorbing foam specifically designed for optimal callus and rapid root development. Its unique cell structure, which mimics the cellular structure of the plant itself, is consistent, with a low cation exchange capacity, allowing rapid nutrient availability without danger of salt accumulation. And, it is pathogen-fee, providing an environment which reduces disease and insect problems.
Number: 102 Count Tray with Medium (6 x 17)

Beginning today, Google will function using a more stringent privacy policy that allows it to collect more & more of your personal data. Google reportedly has a user base of over 1 billion. Using the amended privacy policy, Google will collect details that you would find embarrassing to reveal.
According to sources at Google, this move is for the benefit of users & it also aids in Google providing efficient services to consumers. The sources also stated that Google will provide more efficient & apt services to it's users by analyzing their personal data. More profit extraction out of self-advertising is also on the agenda of Google added the source.
The new privacy policy is a "legalized" one says Google & also said that registered users can minimize the revealing of personal details to a certain extent, but cannot stop it completely. To know what all Google knows about you check out the website: www.google.com/dashboard & log in.
People across the world feel that the new privacy policy of Google would amount to privacy encroachment & violation, but Google is no mood to relent. Seeing all this, one thought that comes to mind is "To Use Google, Be Prepared To Get Probed".

Serving in the strength that God provides…
After a busy week and a busy Saturday, we were able to spend a couple of hours at the home of some of our friends. As we ate, read Scripture, and prayed, we were renewed and refreshed by the Spirit.
One of our friends was praying for another family. This family is dealing with a loved one with cancer. Soon, the wife will be travelling to take care of him. As another friend was praying for them, he asked God to help them to serve in God's strength and not in their own strength.
This simple prayer led to a wonderful discussion of relying completely on God and not trying to rely on ourselves and our own abilities. I admit that many times when I see something that should be done, I am tempted to jump in and do it, even though I know that God has not provided me with the opportunities nor the resources to do it. What happens then? I end up doing something in my own strength, getting tired and angry, and failing to obey God in what he wanted me to do in the first place. Why? Because I am attempting to serve God and others our of my own strength instead of the strength that God provides.
In 1 Peter 4:11, Peter says that those who serve should do so "as one who serves by the strength that God supplies" (ESV). This is difficult. This means that I must trust God. When I see something that is not being done, and God has not provided me with the opportunities nor the strength to do it, then I must trust God that he has provided someone else to take care of that need.
We had several other very uplifting and challenging discussions, both as a group and one-on-one with other believers. It is amazing how the Spirit uses other believers to stir us up to love and good works.

Sodium and glucose transport across the in vitro perfused midgut of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun
Chu, Ka Hou
Concept link
MetadataShow full item record
Citable URIhttps://hdl.handle.net/1912/3099
KeywordCallinectes; Physiology
The principal objectives of the present study are: (1) to investigate sodium transport across the midgut as well as the hindgut of Callinectes sapidus and the functioning of these two regions of the gut in osmotic and ionic regulation of the animal, and (2) to elucidate the mechanism of glucose absorption across the midgut of C. sapidus and to assess its role in nutrient absorption. The transport processes across the gut tissues were studied with an in vitro perfusion technique. I demonstrated a net mucosal to serosal sodium transport across the midgut of C. sapidus. This net flux was within the same order of magnitude as the fluxes of isolated gut tissues of many other animal species. The flux displayed saturation kinetics and was ouabain-sensitive. The flux did not vary with environmental salinity, thus providing no evidence for an active regulatory role of the midgut in sodium balance. A reduction of passive permeability with salinity, however, was suggested. There was no measurable net sodium transport across the hindgut of the animal. The midgut of C. sapidus was also capable of net transmural glucose absorption. The net flux was considerably less than the fluxes reported in mammalian intestine. The unidirectional mucosal to serosal glucose flux was depressed by metabolic inhibitors, the absence of mucosal Na+, and the presence of mucosal phlorizin or serosal ouabain. The flux was also decreased by the presence of mucosal D-galactose, but not D-fructose or L-glucose. The net glucose flux followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The mucosal glucose uptake by the midgut was composed of two processes: a sodium-dependent, saturable component, and a sodium-indenpendent, non-saturable counterpart. The kinetic characteristics of the uptake suggest that the midgut does not play a major role in total nutrient absorption. Nutrients taken up by the midgut may be largely utilized to provide energy for other physiological functions served by this tissue. Thin layer chromatographic analyses showed that whereas most glucose appeared as phosphorylated forms upon entering the midgut, free glucose was translocated across the tissue. These results suggest that the mucosal and serosal membrane transport processes are coupled to phosphorylation-dephosphorylation mechanisms, respectively. An alternative hypothesis is the presence of a high-affinity glucose carrier in the serosal border of the midgut.

Hello everyone. This is my second strategy guide. It is the Guide to Dark Elixir. This guide will teach you the basics of Dark Elixir, how to use it, and what to do with it.
What is Dark Elixir?
Dark elixir is a black substance that you unlock at Town Hall level 7. You are able to construct the Dark Elixir Storage, but not the drill. You can unlock the drill at TH 8. Don't ask me why. I don't know why.
What you can do with it
With Dark Elixir, you can "open doors for creatures born out of Dark Elixir". That is just a fancy way of saying that you can train Dark Barrack troops. They include the:
The minion is a flying unit that spits Dark Elixir
Hog Rider
The Hog Rider is a warrior riding on a hog. It can jump over walls and targets defenses.
She is a warrior that carries a double-bladed axe.
Is a ground unit made of rocks. It targets defenses, and when killed, splits into two Golemites. It is very useful as a tank or meat shield.
She is the last unit unlocked in the Dark Barracks. She is a ground unit that can summon limited skeletons. She is a ranged unit.
You can unlock Heroes. They are invincible troops that can defend your base or attack other bases. Being immortal, they can't die, but, they do get "injured" if they lose all of their health after a raid or defense. They will have to sleep to regenerate their health. You can unlock the Barbarian King at TH7, and the Archer Queen at TH9. They are very useful in battle.
Barbarian King
He is the strongest of Barbarians. It costs 10,000 to build the Barbarian King Altar which automatically summons him. His special ability is the Iron Fist, which he summons some barbarians and a mini Rage Spell around the king.
Archer Queen
She is the strongest of archers and carries a special X-Bow. She costs 40,000 DE. She is summoned when you construct her altar. Her special ability is the Royal Cloak. She becomes invisible to defenses, which will target other troops, for a few seconds. She also summons a few archers.
Dark Elixir Storage
It is a square building specially designed for holding DE. You unlock it at TH7. At level 1, it can hold 10,000 Dark Elixir. Try to upgrade it after you buy your Barbarian King.
Dark Elixir Drill
At level 1, this building can only produce 20 DE per hour. It can hold a maximum of 120. So, it would take 6 hours to earn 120 DE. Your next goal would be to upgrade your drill as soon as possible. At level 2, it can produce 30 an hour and can hold a maximum of 240. It is an essential part of your Dark Elixir Conquest.
Spending and Saving DE
You should NOT spend any Dark Elixir until you have gotten your Barbarian King. After that, try different troop compositions, using Dark troops. At a later phase in the game, you will unlock the Archer Queen. Buy her as soon as possible when you unlock her.
It will take a while at both TH7 and TH8, so have patience. At TH7, it will take longer because the only way to eearn DE is to steal it or collect it from Tombstones.
- Dark Tombstones only give you 1 Dark Elixir, it will take years if you only use that method.
Attacks give an average of 0-400 DE at TH7. The reason for this low amount because, like you, many other TH7 players just got their Dark Elixir Storage.
Earning DE will get easier at TH8 because you unlock the Dark Elixir Drill.
Obtaining Dark Elixir
As I mentioned before, you unlock the Dark Elixir Storage at TH7, and the Drill at TH8. First, construct the storage, otherwise, if you steal any Dark Elixir (DE), it would go to waste. Start raiding for DE as soon as you construct the storage.
Raiding for DE
- A common strategy is using Lightning Spells to destroy the enemy's storage and steal their DE. It is a costly, but effective strategy.
- Look for bases with at least 250 DE. Your main goal is to destroy their DE storage and drill
- Utilize goblins more often, as they destroy resource buildings faster. I suggest using 30-100 goblins in your troop composition.
- Attack bases where their storage is easy to access without killing too many of your troops.
Collecting from your Drill
- As I said before, upgrade your drill as soon as possible. The upgrade doubles the amount of DE your drill can hold.
- Collect from your drill often. It will stop producing when it is full.
- If you are rich in gems, boost your drill! It will boost your drill for one day.
I hope this guide has helped you know the do's and don'ts about Dark Elixir. If I made a mistake or if you want to add anything useful, feel free to edit this article.

Now that Telangana State has been carved out of Andhra Pradesh, cutting short mother State to 13 districts, all eyes are on the New Capital for Seemandhra.While TDP top brass is sending out signals that new capital would set up between Vijayawada and Guntur, the latest statement of Union Urban Minister Venkaiaha Naidu set tongues wagging in AP.
Venkaiaha Naidu hinted that new capital of Seemandhra would be small unlike twin cities Hyderabad-Secunderabad. The new capital, according to his idea, is to be utilized for administrative purpose whereas other cities in Seemandhra should be developed into Metros. Naidu also made it clear that Vijayawada-Guntur-Tenali will be connected through Metro Rail Project and granted another Metro Rail Project to Visakhapatnam.
Going by reports, the new capital would be close to the border of Kurnool- Prakasam districts in order to pacify people of Rayalaseema. There is buzz that Capital might remain Naam Ke Vasthe if it is announced in Prakasam as Industries, growth would be focused more in Vijayawada, Guntur, Vizag and Tirupati. As of now this proposal of Venkaiaha is in nascent phase and the final call will be taken up by AP CM-designate Chandra Babu Naidu.

Dorkfish connects the dots and shows you where all those MRAP's in A-Stan and Iraq are going to end up...in your neighborhood in the hands of LEO's.
Because we have so many IED emplacements and guerrilla terrorists running around here in CONUS, right?
Don't fret, you can still defeat them with low tech tools.

text: Legg Mason's Dmitry Khaykin shares the stocks he considers essential to own in a weak economy in this video. If a company's product or service isn't essential, it has no place in Dmitry Khaykin's mutual fund. "What we mean by essential is something that a consumer needs every day of their lives," says Khaykin of the Legg Mason Partners Investors Value Fund ( SAIFX). " Wal-Mart ( WMT), for example, sells groceries and products that consumers need every day. And Wal-Mart is the lowest-cost retailer, so they have a tremendous advantage over their competitors." Khaykin's fund, which he co-manages with Robert Feitler, is down 24% this year, on par with the S&P 500. Over the past 10 years, the fund is flat on an annualized basis, 3.5 percentage points better than the index. That's good enough to place it in the top quartile of all large-cap value funds tracked by Morningstar, which assigns the fund four out of five stars. Khaykin owns less than 60 stocks in the fund and tends to hold on to them. The turnover rate for the fund is 23%, which means less than a quarter of the fund's assets are replaced each year. The manager concentrates on picking individual shares, a so-called bottom-up approach, rather than evaluating an industry or the economy first. Khaykin is bullish on energy stocks due to the dramatic decline in oil and natural gas prices. He favors El Paso ( EP) for its pipeline business. "Over the long term, one can make a very bullish argument for oil and natural gas prices," says Khaykin. "El Paso is a recent addition to our portfolio, and its pipeline business, in which it is basically a toll-taker, is very cash-flow generative."
