What's the hardest part of bboying?
I mean, actually dancing.
Bboying is broken up into several components — toprocking (actually dancing), footwork (moving around on your hands and feet), freezes (stopping your body movement for a brief amount of time), and power moves (all those flashy-looking spins, flips, etc).
What I've learned from the other guys in my crew, as well as watching other crews, is that dancing is the hardest part of bboying. But why? Isn't performing multiple flips in a row or spinning around on your head to your hands and then doing a bunch of gymnastic-style moves harder than just doing simple steps on your feet?
Well, when you look at it that way, physically speaking you wouldn't be dancing if all you are doing is just power moves. This dance incorporates a lot of elements from different art forms and dances. Power moves are variations of gymnastics and toprocking takes its cues from a number of different dance styles. Perhaps the only "original" part of bboying is the footwork.
And another thing. There is a difference between hitting the beat of the music, and actually dancing. It's pretty easy to follow a 1-2, 1-2-3 pattern. It's an entirely different thing to make each step you take look good. It's hard for me to describe it here, so I'll give you a couple of examples.
(Bboy Cloud — Awesome dancer. I love this guy's style. He incorporates a lot of different dance styles into his own)
(Bboy Ynot — Great toprocker, great dancer in general. Even when he goes down to footwork, he just rides the beat the whole way through)
I pass it all the time time when traveling back and forth from Fairbanks and Anchorage, but never really about visiting it.
When a woman from the UAF Coop Extension Service emailed my friend James Delcastillo about running a couple of breakdancing workshops there, I was definitely interested in helping out. So, as of about two weeks ago, I can resoundingly say that the workshops were a SUCCESS.
It's amazing how much, and how fast, the kids learned. The first workshop was held Thursday, April 26th. Several dozen middle and high schoolers were there, with most of them eager to participate. The second one was a few days later, on Saturday. There, we had about a dozen students, but all of them were hungry to learn (and eat, since lunch was right before the start of the workshop).
James, JJ, Jason, and I all helped teach some of the foundational steps of breaking. Toprocking, footwork, and even some basic freezes were incorporated into the lesson.
The students were really enthusiastic. By the end of the lesson, they were mixing their own moves into what we taught them. A supervisor at the Nenana Living Center (where the workshops were held) told Kendra that she had never even seen the kids dance before, and hearing that comment just put a smile on my face.
And, on top of all that, my crewmates finally confirmed that my bboy name is now…
Jericgeki! (or however it will be spelled in the future)
A fun weekend. A fun weekend indeed.
My favorite cat…
No, it isn't really my favorite type of feline. It is, however, my favorite sports brand.
I don't actually own that much PUMA clothing (a couple of track jackets, a pair of track pants, and currently three pairs of shoes). I don't think so, anyways.
So on to my story…
I was at Value Village a couple nights ago with a friend of mine. It's been a while since I've last shopped there, but, lo and behold, we saw a pair of PUMA Liga sneakers that were in GREAT shape.
Next thing I knew, I was at the check-out stand with the sneakers, an argyle sweater, and, funny enough, a pair of PUMA track pants.
I tried looking online for the exact pair that I have, but this will just have to suffice. Mine are brown with a white stripe and brown shoelaces.
And moving on…
I was never really introduced to PUMA (especially its shoes) until after I started dancing. I like them because they're lightweight, comfy, and look good. The pairs that I've owned have been pretty good to me, even if I haven't been good to them.
I owned a pretty sick pair of black and purple PUMA Benny's, but I completely destroyed them within a year of use. They served their purpose, though. I even wore them during a jam last summer (it was affectionately called the Jam of Destiny, or Ricky Chon's going-away jam).
PUMA is actually very popular with bboys and bgirls. My guess is for the same reasons I mentioned earlier. Some other popular shoes are Adidas (one in particular being Gazelles), Nike Airs, and even different Converse models (like Chuck Taylors).
Body Carnival
I don't know what it is about the Japanese, but damn do they have style!
Here's another crew I've recently started watching. Body Carnival hails from Kyoto. They've been going at it for years now.
I love their creativity and style. They're unlike a lot of other Japanese crews in that they have a really good flow to them. Instead of just having some sick moves or blow-ups, their whole sets are well-balanced.
Check this video out. It's a highlight video from just ONE jam held back in December. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that they have AWESOME routines!
ONE MORE THING. For you ladies interested in the dance or just want to watch some really dope bgirls, this crew has Ayumi, Narumi, and Mi-Chan.
Sweet 16
So the 5th anniversary of Northwest Sweet 16 occurred last weekend.
It's a pretty big regional jam, with 16 bboys invited to compete in a 1v1 style competition. The jam is held in Seattle, with many of Washington's best, upcoming dancers participating. They also have guys from Canada, Oregon, Idaho, and ALASKA represent their respective states.
(highlights from 2011)
This year, high-schooler Ives (Stryker) Viray was the Alaska representative. Congrats to Ives for making it to the semis! He's the first guy from AK to make it out of the first round.
(stryker vs mango – last year's winner)
(stryker vs tim the pitt – semifinals)
So you're probably wondering what my name means (or how to even pronounce it)?
Jeric + Ichigeki (Eee-chee-geh-kee) = Jericgeki
Ichigeki was (and still is) a Japanese bboy crew, most active in the early and mid 2000s. They were known for their CRAZY style and uniqueness; they really express themselves through their dancing.They show how you don't really need any big, flashy powermoves in order to be good. Seriously, their showcase from Battle of the Year 2005 (which I've conveniently included a link to) is hands-down one of the best showcases to ever grace the dance.
(performance starts around 1:30)
Definitely one of my favorite crews.
I believe it was the summer of 2010 at practice when Marballz first mentioned "Jericgeki." Basically I was "dancing" (ie flopping around and doing who-knows-what) at practice and he told me about the Japanese crew Ichigeki. He said I reminded him of them. I looked them up, and they instantly became one of my faves.
I'd include a highlights clip of myself, but I'm too lazy to edit one. Instead, here's a couple clips that show my style. See for yourself if there are any similarities between the crew and I.
My first jam…(start @ 1:07)
Midnight Sun Breakfest 2010 (from :35 – :50)
Midnight Sun Breakfest 2011 (this was just fun)
Canned Funk in action
Canned Funk was started 10 years ago. The original members were Marballz and Figment. Before that, they both were a part of DOF (Discipline of Freedom). I'm part of the new generation of CF members.
Fairbanks' dance scene is unique in that we focus more on style and the actual dancing aspect elements, rather than "powermoves." Anchorage has a bigger scene, but they're characterized more by powermoves and other elements of the dance.
Here's our performance from the 2011 International Friendship Day. We had several members of Illaskan Assassins come up from Anchorage to perform with us. You can see the humor we like to employ, as well as the style differences between the dancers.

Ultimo Value is Pleased to Announce New Articulating TV Mounts
Ultimo Value, the premier flat screen wall mount manufacturer and retailer, is pleased to announce new articulating TV mounts.
Recently, in an effort to reach new markets and provide new articulating wall mounts (http://www.ultimovalue.com/
With more and more people investing heavily into larger, better functionality, and 3D televisions, the wall mount, which was something that was not really considered before, is becoming more and more important. Consumers want an articulating TV mount that they can trust. They want to know that not only are their televisions properly displayed, but also properly secured to a wall. The last thing a large television owner wants to worry about when sitting down to watch their television is to wonder if the wall mount and bracing are going to hold their investment and protect it.
Another important aspect of wall mounts is the availability of positioning. When flat panel televisions became common in the household, fitting the television flat against the wall was considered the ideal manner to view and watch programs. Currently modern audiences want the television position slightly above eye level at a pantoscopic tilt. Another consideration becoming increasingly more important to the flat panel articulating TV mount industry is the ability to swivel and provide a full range of view options in a room. Being able to swivel and tilt the televisions to allow different angles of the screen to be seen is becoming an increasingly more important demand.
Ultimo Value realizes that these changes are occurring in their industry and is staying ahead of the technology and consumer demands by offering not only the best product, but also the best range of features for their articulating wall mounts. Founded in 2007, Ultimo Value was a pioneer and innovator in flat screen wall mountings. Ultimo Value takes pride in helping consumer electronic owners make the most of their products through prominent and stylistic displays.
As well as offering a full line of specialty television articulating wall mounts, Ultimo Value (http://www.ultimovalue.com/
http://UltimoValue.com products are designed, manufactured, and sold at the corporate headquarters, located in San Diego, California.

Skip to comments.General: U.S.-Pakistan military ties 'a mess'
Posted on 12/10/2011 10:57:55 AM PST by Qbert
Army Gen. Martin. E. Dempsey revised his assessment of the relationship between the Pakistani and United States militaries, which he described as "a mess," whereas two weeks ago he said the relationship remained solid despite the recent NATO strike controversy.
Dempsey said "U.S.-Pakistani military-to-military relations 'are a mess,'" according to the American Forces Press Service -- an apparent deterioration from late November, when he assured British media that the relationship was still firm.
Addressing the recent border incident, Dempsey told an audience at the Atlantic Council that he "can absolutely say that it wasn't something we did intentionally."
"Regrettably, the Pakistani military believes we did," he added. "We did not attack a Pakistani military border post intentionally. If you think we did, I'd have to ask you what in the world you'd think we would gain by doing that."
A State Department spokesperson yesterday would not comment directly on Dempsey's remarks, but said "this relationship is complicated, but its also essential to both the United States and Pakistan."
The bigger the mess, the bigger the check Hussein sends them.
IMHO, Slick Willie's wife has done an outstanding job starting fires all over the Middle East for the global communist party.
Pakistan is real tight with China, and China is gearing up to fight us. Pakistan is NOT an ally of the U.S. Moreover, Pakistan and China have nothing but hatred and contempt for India, a nation that actually has some pretty close ties with Israel.
China is becoming more and more bellicose in the South China Sea, and has been openly threatening both the Phillipines and Vietnam (and, of course, Taiwan, which is at the northern end of the SCS; but that's old news). China has also been stirring up some shit in Malaysia, but behind the scenes.
Jeebus H, y'alls have to be a General to figure that out?
No, but if you are it gets reported in the news.
How are the relations between the Paki and Indian Militarys?
Caliphate. It's coming along swell.
Uh .. where are our "ties" stronger with ANY country in the world? Not ONE "friend" is stronger with us now. Amazing how this President can DESTROY foreign policy by one having a foreign policy. He believes that if you just "love 'em" they'll love you back. That works in Bill Ayers' theory book, but in the real world it is called a "laughing stock" idea!
By a weird, unrelated coincidence, the pseudostate of Pakistan is a mess. Thanks Qbert.

The recent federal charges against Teresa and Joe Giudice is sure to rattle the lives of the Giudice family. The Giudice family is a well-known family on the hit reality TV show, "Real Housewives of New Jersey." Teresa Giudice is best known for her on-again, off-again relationship with her brother and her chaotic relationship with her sister-in-law.
Charges Against Teresa and Joe Giudice
In July, Teresa and Joe Giudice were indicted on 39 counts, ranging from conspiracy to commit mail fraud to bankruptcy fraud. To add to the several charges against them, this week, they were indicted on two more charges for bank fraud and loan application fraud. The loan application fraud has to do with a mortgage loan application in which the Giudice's allegedly falsely claimed that Teresa Giudice worked as a Realtor and earned a salary of $15,000 per month. However, msn news reports that according to authorities, "she was not employed."
The charges against Teresa and Joe Giudice include the following:
- Conspiracy to commit mail fraud
- Conspiracy to commit wire fraud
- Bankruptcy fraud
- Bank fraud
- Loan application fraud
What Is Mail Fraud?
Mail fraud is a Federal offense. It involves the intent to deceive others or the government by use of the U.S. Postal Service. So if an individual unlawfully acquires money through the use of the United States Postal Service, he or she may be guilty of mail fraud and if convicted, may serve up to 20 years in jail.
On the show, the Giudice family lives a seemingly lavish lifestyle in their multimillion-dollar home. However, I guess things are not always what they seem. If the charges against them are true, then they were surely putting on a great show for others while pretending they could actually afford the things they displayed on the reality series. This is an unfortunate situation for them and their young daughters because if they are convicted, both Teresa and Joe may be sentenced to several years in prison.

This tutorial is outdated and hard to follow. please use this tutorial instead:
And the Pictorial construction guide:
However, the >1000 posts in this thread contain a lotof help so by all means read on.
All that is required for dumping a liteon key is a transistor and two resistors. which can both be found in old hardware. Computer monitors, VCR's, TV's and radio's are treasure troves of resistors capacitors and signal transistors.
So if you are handy with a soldering iron, why buy an xecuter kit or max232 board that you are only going to use once or twice?for me at lest it was easier to make one than order online and wait.
The circuit is pretty simple, its a common emitter amplifier which inverts the signal and amplifies it to 5V.
its not strictly rs232 levels, but most serial ports probably won't mind. mine doesn't
Only the transmitting part is needed, the computer only receives the key over rs232, it doesn't transmit anything
So start offby finding an NPN transistor. practically any signal NPN will do.
hopefully the base collector and emitter will be marked on the pcb where you find the transistor (with B C E or something).
To desolder it heat two pins at a time with your soldering iron and wiggle it free, have some fresh solder on the iron to help melt the solder. try not to heat the transistor for too long, they are easilydamaged by heat.
To test if the transistor is an npn, get a ohm meter (or battery resistor and led) put the positive lead on the base, if its an NPN you should get a reading when you put the negative lead on the collector and emitter.
if you don't know which pin is the base. just try each pin until the other two pins have a reading.
The 10K resistor will be marked brown black orange (gold)The 1k resistor will be marked brown black red (gold)
You can always test with a multimeter after you desolder it if you are unsure.
Some desoldered components:
Now put it together! I just did it freeform (without a PCB)
a serial plug could be salvaged from an old modem. or cut up a serial cable
You should have 3 wires (gnd, 5V and Tx) going to the dvd drive and two wires (gnd pin 5 and Rxpin 2) going to the serial port
it should look something like this (sorry about the blurry pic)
Now you also need power to the drive. I made an adapter which plugs into a spare sata power plug, and has a switch to open/close the drive. but you can also just use the Xbox 360 to power it. but you can also just use the Xbox 360 to power it. you might need to disconnect pin 3 (eject) to get thetray to stay partially open (Pinout link the ? pin on that page is 3.3V)
overall my setup looks like this:
I got the dvd power plug from a printer (cut down to fit) and made the SATA power adapter from a piece of PCB filed down to fit and with tracks cut for 12v, 5v, gnd and 3.3v. careful if you don't do it right it could damage your computer power supply or dvd drive.
To get it working Iused the dos version of dvdkey, but anything else would probably work.
1 eject the drive and push the tray in half way. leave pin 9 open so the tray doesn't close
2 plug in power and sata
3 turn pc on and boot into dos
4 run dosflash to get the sata address of the dvd drive (say no to any prompts and ctrl+c when you have the address)
5 plug in the serial to the drive and pc. then run: dvdkeyaddress
Hopefully that will work. If it doesn't, check your connections, reboot and try again. you can also try unplugging sata until dos has booted.
You can try probing your circuit with a multimeter, disconnect from pc and dvd power the circuit with 5v, the output should be 5V when the input Tx is pulled low, and 0V when the input Tx is 3V.
Now all you have to do is get another drive...

Chelsea Baker's Little League Jersey Going in Baseball Hall of Fame -- MLB FanHouse
rediculous if you ask me. That is the hall of fame. Not the hall of little girl plays little league baseball and does good.
It's just an exhibit... she's not permenently in the hall.
Sound a little better than just good. 0 losses in 4 years and 2 perfect games last season? I realize its little league but still impressive numbers.
And besides its not like they giving her a bust next to Cy Young.
it's because she throws a knuckleball. Wait till she gets to High School and gets destroyed when the physical development of the boys catches up to hers. This is ridiculous, the Hall of Fame isn't a place to put circus acts.
I smell jealousy.
As was said before, its an EXHIBIT. Nothing is permanent of hers going into the Hall of Fame. It will be there for a few months and gone.
$50 says you couldn't hit her ... even with all your internalized rage focused on it.
Holy crap there is a lot of envy in this thread. It is a nice gesture and an interesting story. Calm down.
and an exhibit on women in baseball. She threw two perfect games against boys. I think it's very appropriate and awesome.
that exhibit better include Marla Hooch - "what a hitter!"
Has nothing to do with jealousy and has everything to do with a news cycle that is looking for anything to put on the airwaves, so they make an icon out of a girl that is physically and mentally superior to the boys she is playing against right now. Is she an excellent little league player, no doubt, but is there any reason to put her jersey in the hall of fame with the greatest players ever? No.
I just hate it when the media try's to force feed us human interest stories.
Yea but there are hundreds of 13yr old boys around the country doing stuff like this and they don't get recognized. Just another example of equality between the sexes I guess.
and there's 1 girl.
seems like she might be pretty special - maybe an exhibit or something would be appropriate. oh wait, the hall just like a mosque - holy, and full of men.
Forcefeed? It's an internet link. I doubt this is going to be all the rage on MSNBC/CNN/FOXNews/or even ESPN.
Your jealousy is manifesting into unbridled rage.
What about the FIU baseball player? If he breaks the streak set by Ventura he probably won't get anything put on display in the Hall. 13 year olds have probably never seen a knuckleball. I remember when I played I had trouble against soft throwing pitchers.
Metal bat, unimpressed.
Apparently you've never been to a pro sports hall of fame. I've been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton - at least 75% of what was there was a circus act...
And I have no problem with her getting an exhibit at Cooperstown. It's not like she's getting immortalized - they're recognizing a significant accomplishment. And if you don't think what she's done is significant, well, I bet she had a much greater Little League career than you did...
It's an EXHIBIT FOR WOMEN IN BASEBALL.
So its an admission that women are inferior athletes to men then? Put her in the womens hall of fame or something then that has nothing to do with baseball, since thats the most important thing here obviously.

Paradistorg Trailer (1977)
27 April 1977
Conventions of civility among family members are severely strained by the very real breakup of the bonds between them. During a few days at a vacation home, Katha (Birgitta Valberg), a woman in late middle age, tries to cope with an influx of discontented, disconnected relatives. Her divorced daughter brings all sorts of people to the house, including a woman-friend accompanied by her psychotic son; the grandfather of the house is convinced he is dying and is satisfied by nothing; and some friends drop off their angry teenage son to stay with her, while they go on a long trip abroad. Her friend Emma (Sif Ruud) doesn't help much with keeping a lid on things, as she is a social worker who is fascinated by the awfulness of these situations.

'I had to get rid of the kid. The cat was allergic.'
Inspiration for WHAT? Incest porn?I want this to be more of an inspirational story, she says.
Good luck getting a cat to do anything let alone join in on your sexcapades. - Air Quotes
I think it's brave of her to speak out like this. There are too many people having babies all over the place and some of the children find out, 'daddy cheated on my momma', and take the anger out on the half siblings and don't want to meet them. First, it's not your sibs fault that your parent had no self control and even less sense. No, you better know who they are so you won't wind up screwing your half brother/sister one day! Ignorance is not bliss and if I were her, as soon as my uncle told me that, I'd kick his ass and everyone else's ass who let me marry my own ferking daddy and didn't say shit. Then, I'd Lysol my vagina.
Oh honey it's WAY too late for and SO beyond Lysol. They'd have to haul me off to the looney bin if I didn't jump off a cliff first.
Reminds me of a story I read about. It was recounted by the psychiatrist who was taking care of the woman (probably the whole family...)
So this girl was involved with a guy as a teenager. Her parents wouldn't let him marry her (Greece in the 60s arranged marriages were still going on in some places) so she was forced to marry another guy. However, first guy had gotten her pregnant so she passed off the kid as the second guy's. First guy emigrated to America and never knew he had a kid.
Flash forward 20 years or so, the bio dad comes back from America, unmarried and still hang up on the woman he loved. He meets her daughter and sparks fly. Soon they get engaged and then married and the girl's mother says nothing! They have 3 kids or so and none of them have flippers.
Flash forward another 20 years or so, the woman's mother is dying and she finds that this is the perfect time to spill her little secret! The psychiatrist had both the woman and her father on suicide watch after failed attempts on both parts.
I dont' know what the woman in this article was thinking getting this sordid story out with full names and all. It will really hurt her surviving family. Though I guess she does want to avoid further incest.
What if Superman is psychotic and everyone can see that he's Clark Kent but they just play along not to set him off?
Woooow that's messed up! Spew!
I smile because I have no idea what's going on
Sigh, Ohio.
I'm confused, so I'm out.

Amaze!Ed was the wedding photographer we thought we were never going to find! His energy and passion for capturing those special, funny, real and honest images was endless and as a result we have the most wonderful photographs of our day. He exceeded all our expectations and quickly became a part of the wedding party without ever feeling intrusive. We wanted documentary style pictures without missing out on some of the more traditional group shots and Ed covered it all, his experience and eye for telling a story are very apparent in his work. Thank you!

Our wedding in Mayfair, London.Ed was a great at our wedding, he arrived punctually and effortlessly managed to make everyone feel so relaxed and at ease - It was as if we had a old friend taking photos.
What was obvious was his enthusiasm and passion for photography. His charisma and energy along with a never ending stream of ideas allowed him to capture the spirit of our day perfectly, the end result being great quality photos.
What was also really helpful was Ed's quick turn around in producing the final photos as we had to move abroad a couple of weeks after the wedding. I have already recommended Ed to others as he did such an incredible job.
Thanks Ed !!

Wedding in Portugal last yearWe are very grateful for having had Ed as our wedding photographer. As he does in his powerful documentary work, he used his uncanny talent to capture the unexpected, often quirky moments. As photographers, we appreciate how he combines great compositions and light with natural moments and often humour. It is probably also his extensive experience and passion for documentary photography giving his wedding photography the feel of a photo-essay.

The ministry of rural development is working out the modalities of payment of pension under the Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme (IGNOAPS) in consultation with finance and communication ministries which would benefit around 1.6 crore aged persons in the country.
We have asked the states to implement the new pension scheme in a manner that all eligible persons are covered and that the pension is credited into a post office or bank account of the beneficiary as has been done for payment of wages under NREGA, Rita Sharma, Secretary, ministry of rural development told FE .
The government had re-launched IGNOAPS in November last year, which covers all the people who are above 65 years living below poverty. The scope of the new IGNOAPS had been widened to cover almost 1.6 crore old BPL people from the earlier level of 87 lakh. The extension of the scheme is estimated to cost the Centre about Rs 4,300 crore in the current year.
The scheme was expanded following an announcement made by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his Independence Day speech last year. The scheme in its earlier form, National Old Age Pension Scheme launched in 1995, covered old destitute people. Sharma said that the rural development ministry has been consistently discussing the issue of financial inclusion with finance and communication ministries for promoting the instrument of banks for payment of wages or pensions.
Under IGNOAPS, some states like Goa and Delhi have decided to contribute Rs 800 and Rs 400 respectively as premium under the social security programme along with the Centres contribution of Rs 200 per month. However, there are some states that do not have enough resources to contribute even the Rs 200, Sharma said. The contribution from the states towards the pension scheme is, however, optional.
For ensuring timely payment and avoiding involvement of middlemen in wage payment to workers under the NREGS, more than two crore savings bank account have been opened in banks and post offices across the country. Of these more than 1.1 lakh accounts have been opened with the post offices and the rest with public sector or cooperative banks across the rural belt.
Regarding the availability of reliable data about BPL people, an issue stated as a problem by the labour ministry hindering implementation of the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, another scheme targeted at BPL population, Sharma said the implementation of the pension scheme would be based on the existing BPL data provided by the Planning Commission according to which there are about 22 crore BPL in rural areas and 6 crore in urban India.

Fingerprint Cards Q2 – Another strong one (longer version)2016-07-22 14:32
FPC reported revenues of SEK 1,666 million, four percent below our expectations as well as consensus, more importantly though, gross margins came in almost as strong as in the first, 48.8 percent, quarter and exceeded our expectations of gross margins at 46.9 percent. Whilst earnings missed consensus, the gross margin as well as EBIT margin beat consensus as well as our estimates, underlining FPC's strong profitability.
We had expected a less favorable product mix to result in a gross margin of 47 percent and the company beat our estimate by 2 percentage points. In our estimates, we had pinned in a positive currency effect of SEK 50 million to contribute to EBIT of SEK 733 million. The currency effect was a positive SEK 36 million and EBIT was 710 million - slightly below our expectations but still very strong. The administrative costs were higher than we thought, close to SEK 35 million versus our estimated SEK 21 million whilst both sales costs and development costs were in line with our expectations.
Clearly, the market has underestimated the gross margins of FPC whilst overestimating sales. The company attributes the strong gross margins to a favorable product mix compared to a year earlier, where an increasing demand for smaller sensors is specifically pointed out. We believe this is not the whole truth. If we are not completely wrong, the second quarter should have seen a considerable share of the larger sensors that Huawei has incorporated in most of its smartphones, especially the 1025. The larger sensors (1025 and 1021) should have lower gross margins than the smaller sensors (for example 1035 and the upcoming 1028). Naturally, compared to a year earlier the sensors are smaller, but not necessarily compared to Q1. We believe another key contributor, apart from the smaller sensors, to the strong gross margin is the operational improvements – especially increased production at 300 mm fabs and at TSMC's large 8 mm fab.
Going forward additional improvements in the manufacturing process as well as an increasing share of value add from proprietary solutions will support the gross margins. The use of the in-house algorithm for an increasing share of the sensors shipped – not least for the P9 and P9+ flagships from Huawei – likely has had some effect on the gross margin, though the entire effect will not show in a single quarter as the phase out of the algorithm involving Precise Biometrics will be gradual.
The mobile device segment in China is growing fast but seasonal swings are big
As for the sales figures, FPC started to point out the seasonality in the mobile device segment in connection to its Q1 report and continues to do so in today's report. The seasonality is somewhat overshadowed by the rapidly growing sensor penetration and FPC's market share gains. When the growth of fingerprint sensor shipments to the mobile device segment slows – which it will when the increased penetration contributes less – the seasonality will be more accentuated.
As we know, FPC is heavily exposed to the mobile device segment in Asia and benefits from the growing market shares of Chinese smartphone brands.
Year-over-year the Chinese cell phone production grew by 19 percent in March, 21 percent in April and 24 percent in May. The accelerating growth shown during the spring points to a healthy underlying market for FPC despite reports of a slowdown in global smartphone sales growth.
Ramping up for new verticals and products with added capacity from TSMC and stronger organization
FPC now confirms that it is running production at TSMC. Great news, although we have already accounted for it in our model. We became certain that TSMC was FPC's new foundry partner as it needed to fill up the open capacity after Apple cut its production of fingerprint sensors for the Iphone 6 at TSMC's 180 nm process. We also noticed how samples of the FPC1320, a thin sensor adapted from smart cards, has shipped between India and Taiwan. Recently we also noted sample shipments of FPC1321-AP. We believe FPC is developing solutions where it can supply a complete biometric platform or sub-system for the smart card market and we expect FPC to provide more clarity on the development towards the end of the year or so.
Additional capacity will also be needed if we are right in our belief that FPC's smaller sensors will be incorporated in the mid-range and low-end smartphones from Samsung. Another customer that we would very much like to see is Micromax, one if India's leading smart phone OEM's that we believe now use sensors from FPC's Chinese competitors, mainly Silead.
As guided, FPC is capitalizing more development costs. The trend from 2015 with decreasing non-tangible assets in the balance sheet has clearly reversed, and we are seeing a situation similar to that in 2014 prior to the major breakthrough in the mobile device segment. The mobile device segment is characterized by short product cycles and development times compared to most, if not all, other verticals.
The organization is growing at a rapid pace and FPC had 245 employees at the end of June, a 31 percent increase in the quarter. The number of consultants declined by 14 percent taking the total headcount (employees and consultants) to 345, up 14 percent during the quarter. The ability to grow its organization and find the right people is key for FPC and one of the major challenges. It is therefore very positive to see that FPC managed to grow its organization at a pace higher than we expected, especially the huge increase in employees. The organizational ramp up is another strong indication of an accelerating growth rather than an imminent peak to be followed by a rapid decline.
Our take is that we can expect new solutions and increasing sales in new verticals in the years to come, though the exact time when the new verticals will really take off is hard to judge – we will elaborate more when we release an updated analysis.
Healthy cash-position will allow additional share buy backs
Although we have not shared any detailed projections on the quarterly cash flows and typically will not do so, we wish to mention that we were positively surprised by the cash flow during the quarter. FPC reports cash flow from operating activities, excluding effects of exchange rate changes, of SEK 530 million. We expected Non-Cash Working Capital (NCWC) to increase more given FPC's willingness to leverage its strong financial position as a mean to become a more attractive partner for customers and suppliers alike.
Rather than the increase we had expected, NCWC stayed constant at SEK 261 million in absolute terms and decreased from 17 percent of net sales to 15 percent of net sales compared to the previous quarter. The strong cash position will allow FPC to buy back additional shares which would act as a catalyst to close the price-value gap that we see at the current share price.
Updated guidance narrowing the interval
FPC narrows its full year guidance to SEK 7.2 - 8.3 billion SEK - we believe net sales for the year will end up close to the upper limit of the range and we would have liked to see a guidance of SEK 7.5-8.5 billion rather than a narrowing with a virtually unchanged mid-point, see below for an elaboration on that. The SEK 1 billion range between the high limit and low limit is not dependent on a single, large impact digital event, rather it is a consequence of several factors. We believe the most important swing factors at this stage are the time of product launches from OEMs, inventory build-up at the module houses and the sales figures for the FPC-inside devices. Especially Huawei's sales figures as Huawei is FPC's largest OEM customer. We would not be surprised if the P9 and P9+ has sold a little bit below expectations in Q2, but we will have to look into it more – nonetheless, Huawei sound bullish on the sales prospects for the remainder of the year despite some speculation to the contrary from Asian sources like Digitimes (which are not always the best sources when looking for unbiased information).
Apart from narrowing the range, FPC now base its guidance for the remainder of the year on a USD/SEK exchange rate of 8.4 rather than 8.3 that was used for the guidance in connection to the Q1 report. Essentially, in terms of sales in USD, this means that the upper limit of the interval for the full year guidance is adjusted by -2.9 percent for the full year as compared to the previous estimate and the lower limit is raised by 2.4 percent. Taking the midpoint of the guidance in USD terms the new guidance is 0.5 percent lower than the guidance from April.
As we have pointed out, we expect revenue growth to accelerate quarter over quarter with close to 40 percent top-line growth from Q3 to Q4. Today's report was a sign of strength and overall in line with our estimates. Furthermore, gross margins should increase further – a key event was Huawei's recent launch of a smartphone with FPC's smallest sensor to date, apart from announced 1028, namely the 1035. As Huawei shifts to smaller sensors the ASP will continue to go down, but the gross margin will increase further, all other things equal.
Reiterated fair value range and positive outlook
We reiterate our fair value range of SEK 64-326 per share with a fair value in our base case of SEK 201. As of now we do not anticipate any major changes to our estimates going forward in either direction, neither for the remainder of 2016, nor for the years to come to come.
The share initially took a dive this morning – not mandated at all given the strong report and the positive signs found when taking a closer look at the report. Now the share is up some three to four percent – a more logical reaction to a strong report.
Finally, given that this is Lantto's last report as CEO of FPC, we suspect the SEK 1666.1 million in revenue might have something to do with Lantto's passion for hard rock – 1(666)1 – clearly he has sneaked-in a reference to Iron Maiden's "The number of the beast".
We will come back with a more comprehensive update within the next few weeks.

Now in its eighth year, Youth Journalism International's annual contest for student reporters, editors, photographers and others involved in journalism offers a great chance to win recognition for stellar work done during the 2016 calendar year.
The top winners come away with amazing crystal trophies and every winner receives a custom-made certificate. You can easily look through the list of winners from earlier years to get an idea of the scope of categories and what kinds of things tend to win.
Eligible work must have been done in 2016. There are many categories for students, who have to have been 19 or younger when their work was published. There is also an award for the best journalism educator, something students with an awesome teacher should consider.
Entries are judged by media professionals and experts in related fields. You can look through the list of judges under the Contest tab above, where you will also find all the previous winners listed and the rules for this year's contest.
One thing you should know is that we now require all entries to be posted online with a shareable link so that we can simply forward the necessary links to our judges. It speeds up the judging and helps make sure nothing is overlooked.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. And if you find something confusing or wrong in the rules, form or website, let us know immediately. We want to make sure everyone gets the right information.
Be aware that the deadline for entering is Friday, Feb. 3 at 11:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It's best not to wait until the last minute, though, as more than one school over the years lost out because of a snowstorm that wiped out that day of classes. Do let us know, though, of any hardships.

Main question is this?
Which airlines, if any, still provide free meals and drinks on a long haul flight? Or is this a thing of the past?
The flight in question is Edinburgh to Bangkok, not yet booked, still researching the best options but cheapest found so far is Norwegian Air. Was close to booking it tonight, only to discover that the in-flight meals would be an extra £60! (for two of us). This gives one light meal, one hot meal, and a drink with each one.
Here was me expecting unlimited drinks as well!
Our last flight to Bangkok was with Egypt Air and the meals were all included (3 during the entire flight if I remember correctly), but no drinks, only water (in fact no alcoholic beverages were offered at all - religious reasons??)
Any info or recommendations would be appreciated... (bear in mind the NA flights are coming in at just over £600 for the two of us - one way, without meals - and we're not looking to pay Emirates' type fares)

Undergraduates at King's College, Cambridge, have been so busy demonstrating against the rise in tuition fees and university funding cuts that they neglected their studies, according to the college's Provost.
As a result, the institution has seen its proportion of first class degrees fall and has nosedived down the college league table rankings from 14th to 20th out of 29.
Professor Ross Harrison blamed the drop on the "special duty" that students had felt to resist the coalition's "assault" on universities. As a result, he said, they had "flung themselves" into resistance, neglecting their studies.
"The forward march of King's has been halted. Just a very small number of two ones rather than firsts make a difference to the ranking tables," he said in the annual report of the college, founded by Henry VI in 1441.
"There has been weeping and wailing and we have tried to find someone's teeth to gnash ... If there's anyone to gnash, it's the Government.
"King's students felt a special duty to resist the assault of the Government on the universities, as they saw the massive prospective hike in fees. Some of the most active political performers descended in their results as compared with last year."
Professor Harrison said that a busload of King's students travelled to London in March for a march and rally attended by up to 400,000 people – the biggest public protest since those over the Iraq war in 2003. Effigies of David Cameron and Nick Clegg, made in the King's College art room, were burned during the event.
The demonstration was marred by violence when a small group of protesters attacked shops and banks and clashed with police.
King's students were also "significantly represented" at an 11-day occupation of the Old Schools, the administrative headquarters of the University, at the end of 2010 in an attempt to force dons to take a harder line against ministers.
The sit-in followed a rally in Cambridge attended by hundreds of students, sixth formers, academics and residents, some of whom breached the Senate House railings to occupy the lawn.
In the forefront of anti-Government demonstrations was Jacob Wills, King's student and prominent member of Cambridge Defend Education protest group, who graduated in the summer.
He was charged in February with obstructing a police officer during anti-cuts protests in Cambridge. He appeared in magistrates court in November and was bound over to kept the peace.
Wills, the son of noted academics, grew up in a £1 million house in north London, and attended the London Oratory School, where Tony Blair sent his children.
He was also a leading figure among activists trying to prevent the eviction of travellers from Dale Farm in Essex in September. A prominent member of the Dale Farm Solidarity group, he camped at the site and acted as spokesman for the group.
The 22-year-old, who is currently travelling overseas, achieved a 2:1 in his literature and social theory degree. "I learned far more through the process of working with others to defend the existence of my course for future generations than I lost by ending up with a 2.1," he said.
Luke Hawksbee, 22, who took part in anti-tuition fees protests and was also involved in the student union before graduating from King's in the summer, said student politics was an extra-curricular activity in the same way that some undergraduates were members of the rowing club or played rugby.
"It may have been a factor that in the last year there may have been more protests and a more urgent need for action, but I don't think anyone did it to the exclusion of academic work," he said.
"I was expecting a high 2:1 or a first and I got a high 2:1. In my third year I very much scaled back my political involvement. My achieving a result that I wasn't entirely pleased with was not to do with my political activity but was more to do with other factors."
Juan Zober de Francisco, president of King's College Student Union in 2010/11, also took part in the London and Senate House rallies.
"People were very active and the protests did take up quite a bit of time", said the 22-year-old who graduated with a first and is now studying for a masters. "I was involved in the occupation of the Old Schools. You take work with you but it is quite difficult in those circumstances to get it done. During that period I did skip a few supervision sessions. But in the final year, it is a matter of prioritising and I managed to do that."
King's, initially an institution for boys from Eton College but which now has one of the highest state school intakes among Cambridge colleges, has developed a reputation for radical politics, attracting the label "Red King's".
A flag bearing the hammer and sickle, the emblem of Soviet Union, hangs in a frame on the wall of its cellar bar.
During royal wedding celebrations in April, a small number of students caused outrage when they set light to a Union flag at the college.
The proportion of firsts awarded by King's fell from 23.4 per cent in 2010 to 20.9 per cent this year, causing the college to slip down the unofficial Tompkins Table rankings, devised since 1981 by Peter Tompkins, a maths graduate from Trinity College. The highest ranking King's has achieved in the last decade is 10th.
Another possible explanation cited by Prof Harrison for this year's poor results was a fire alarm going off in the middle of the night during the exam season at a hostel housing King's students, leading to an all-night evacuation,
Famous King's alumni include the writers EM Forster, Rupert Brooke, Sir Salman Rushdie and Zadie Smith, economists John Maynard Keynes and JK Galbraith, director and playwright Stephen Poliakoff and comedian David Baddiel.

so, i just finally made myself post this week's portrait project. i usually do so on sunday mornings, or even on saturday. i had taken the photo earlier this week, and i knew it was the one i would share, but there was a part of me that didn't want to admit that there were less than ten weeks left in this year. not when i can so clearly remember posting her first portrait. not when i feel that i have so much left to accomplish...
this year has been one of my favorites with some not so favorite stuff mixed in... like a favorite meal that your mom hides vegetables in. it is mostly good, but you can still feel those bits in your mouth and they make it just a tiny bit difficult to fully enjoy. despite my joy over all the good things, there have just been those little bits that have nagged me and made it hard for me to really clear my plate, even though it is one of my favorite meals....
this analogy falls apart here.. and it might have gone on too long. i apologize.
this past week christian and i realized that my body just isn't on the schedule it should be for me to get pregnant again. we had a hunch about this for a while... but i guess i didn't want to pay too much thought to it. however, periods that come too soon, last too long, and seem to debilitate me in a way that i think is rather ridiculous, are hard to ignore, especially when you are hoping for a pregnancy. then there are all the other bizarre and random things going on with my body that i have been chocking up to being "old" (weight that won't go away no matter how i change my diet or exercise, a lack of energy, itchy and scaly skin that has weird bumps all over it, hot flashes and sweats, and some anxiety that no amounts of yoga or mediation can help). when i started reading about luteal phase deficiency, which means that you get your period too soon, i felt like what i was reading described exactly what i was going through. when you don't have a long enough luteal phase, which is kind of an important time for a fertilized egg that is looking to implant, you will often have a hard time getting pregnant and often miscarry.
and then i read about the cause of luteal phase deficiency... low progesterone. and when i read about the other side effects of low progesterone, my jaw just about dropped. all the silly things going on with my body that i have been blaming on my age, could just be due to a hormonal imbalance.... then i remembered how i got pregnant with chloe - i had messed up my birth control. which means i probably had enough progesterone stored up in my fat (that's where it lives), to get me by until the placenta started making enough. which might explain why i never quite felt like i went back to "normal" after having chlo... why i just haven't quite felt like myself. it is so easy to just think that you just changed a bit, that you body changed, and you just need to get used to it... change is a normal part of life, and sometimes it can be a little difficult to adapt, but eventually you figure it out. you think you are stressed, or just not eating healthy enough, or you blame it on not drinking enough water... when you actually might have something going on that there might be a remedy for.
so, now i finally have some non-official answers. answers that need to be confirmed by a doctor.. and hopefully a solution that will be easy, and quick, help me get pregnant, and maybe get me back to feeling like my old self.
i spent a lot of time this year just trying to focus on all the good things and not let the silly little stuff ruin it. i have relished in the second year of my daughters life, and my third year of being married to my favorite man. i have embraced becoming thirty. but the anxiety, and the infertility, and the feeling of unease with this other version of myself have plagued me the whole time. i have withdrawn, become bitter, and i have been so tired.
this past week i had a really bad day. it was the first time that i can remember crying in front of chloe. she was acting up... more than she usually does. i was exhausted and sore, and overwelmed but also comforted knowing that there might be an answer for what was happening to me. i cried because i don't think she knows who i was before i had her - the version of me, that felt like me (i think it was a funner and more carefree version of my current self). i cried because i was happy to have some hope, and at the thought of having another child. i cried because i realized that even my hardest days have some hope, and a whole lot of love.
chloe walked over to me while i was piling up books that were thrown all over the floor. books that she had thrown all over the floor during a fit. she got two inches from my face and smiled. smiled her goofy little impish smile, right in my face. then she sat on the floor on the books, in her t-shirt and diaper, and continued to smile at me. it was right to be there, that minute, that day, this year. i was in the perfect place right then. and i wouldn't trade any of this, any day.

Gardens can be a haven or a sanctuary for some, filled with flowers, exotic plants and complicated landscaping but some people want their garden to have its own identity and these are the people who buy outdoor garden statues.

Pendant Lamps and Indoor Illumination
Any pool player worth his or her salt knows that good lighting is essential to playing the game well. As pool tables are almost always indoors, and as many people play pool recreationally in the evening as well as during the day, light is an important facet of the game: it needs to be strong enough for clear vision without hurting players' eyes. Pool table tops are usually covered with green felt, a color that tends to suck in light. Good lighting is also important to ambiance, which is why many restaurants and bars with pool tables have neon lighting around the perimeter of the rooms.
It is also common to see stained glass lamps installed above pool tables. If you are planning on following this classic look, make sure to choose a light that can hold at least four 100-watt bulbs. Modern lamps are designed to accommodate as many looks and colors as you can imagine, so you need only pick to pleas your aesthetics. Make sure to take into account the height of the ceiling, the room's size and atmosphere, and the general decor when you are choosing your lamp.
Your stained glass lamp needs to be large enough to provide sufficient light over the entire pool table. The bottom of it should hang down between two and a half and three feet above the table, so that players have enough room to lean over it without hitting their heads. Stained glass lamps are usually heavy, so remember that you need to secure it particularly well, as it could be a health-hazard as well as cause damage to your expensive pool table. Pendant lamps hang by definition, and you want them to stay that way.
When installing your pendant lamp, you first need to remove the existing light fixture before proceeding. If there is already a chain hanging form the ceiling, you will only have to make sure that it can bear the weight of the lamp you have purchased and install a hook for it to hang from. Using a stud finder, locate a stud in the ceiling above your pool table. It needs to be as close as possible to where you want to hang our lamp. Once you have found the spot, mark it, then use an electric drill to bore a starter hole. Insert the hook into the hole and twist it as far into the ceiling as it will go. Then you can hang your stained glass lamp. For more information,

When Is It Worth an Extension For an Indoor Swimming Pool
Most people would agree that an indoor swimming pool is a great thing to have. You can use it for exercise, entertaining family and friends or just plain relaxation. Yet what should you do if you find that your indoor pool has become too small to meet your needs? The obvious solution is to build an extension, but is that a practical solution? Here are some things that those with indoor swimming pools should think about when considering adding an extension:
The Design
What will the pool and the area surrounding it look like if extended? The key is the size of the structure in which the pool is already located. First you must determine whether it is big enough to house an extension and what it will look like when completed. Will there be enough room for other things you value in your pool environment, like room to lounge or dance at parties? Perhaps not just the pool but the structure in which it is held needs to be extended as well.
Even if a pool extension makes sense from a design standpoint, you must also bear in mind the potential costs. Consult with several pool construction contractors before deciding on which one to hire so that you get a good overall view of what the right price should be. Much will depend on whether you want to include extras such as a gym or spa or if you are seeking a unique design. Remember also that there may be wiring and plumbing issues created by the pool extension.
The costs of a pool extension do not end with the completion of construction. Now the pool has to be maintained, and since the pool is now larger your maintenance costs will increase as well. Some of these increased costs can be lowered by better energy efficiencies such as use of solar heating. Also lighting can affect expenses, so use energy saving bulbs and consider installing new windows in the walls and ceiling where it will allow natural heat and light to enter.
In the end only you know what you want. Indoor swimming pools perform many roles in a person's life, depending upon the owner's income, the size of the structure in which the pool is housed and how many people will be using it. Therefore whether you need an extension, how much it should cost and whether you will be able to maintain it in good working condition should be the primary factors you consider when planning an extension for your indoor swimming pool. With a little foresight and commonsense you should be able to successfully determine whether a swimming pool extension makes sense for you.
