Chilliwack, BC (ISN) – After dropping a heart-breaking 1-0 overtime affair to the Coquitlam Express on Friday, the Victoria Grizzlies responded with a 5-4 overtime victory over the Port Alberni Bulldogs on Saturday.
In Friday's action against Coquitlam, Brady Shaw's overtime winner gave the Express a 1-0 win over the Victoria Grizzlies in the first game on Prospera Centre's main rink. Cole Huggins stopped 40 shots for the shutout while Brady Rouleau turned away 26 pucks for the Grizz.
On Saturday, Grizzlies forward Myles Fitzgerald would tie the game in the waning moments of the third period,and then score in overtime to seal a 5-4 win over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. Lars Hepso's second of the game gave the 'Dogs a 4-3 lead with under five minutes to go but Fitzgerald roofed a rebound off the end boards and then was the beneficiary of some good work by brother Gerry on the winner. Victoria takes three of four points on the weekend while Alberni finishes with one point on the weekend.

FG Recovers 151 Million Dollars And Eight Billion Naira Loot
The Federal Government says it has made multiple recoveries of looted funds totaling 151 million dollars and eight billion naira through the 'Whistle-Blower Policy'.
The Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, in a statement on Sunday, said the recovered funds does not include the 9.2 million Dollar found with the former GMD of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Andrew Yakubu, adding that it was a recovery made through whistle blowing.
Giving the break down, the Minister said the biggest money recovered is 136, 676, 600.51 million Dollars from an account in a commercial bank, where the money was allegedly kept under a fake account name.
According to the Minister, another 7 billion Naira and 15 million dollars were recovered from a second person, while yet another 1 billion Naira was gotten from a third suspect.
Although the Minister did not mention the actual persons involved, he said the government is making tremendous progress through the Whistle-Blower Policy.
The Minister in his words said, "When we told Nigerians that there was a primitive and mindless looting of the National Treasury under the last administration, some people called us liars.
"Well, the Whistle-Blower Policy is barely two months old and Nigerians have started feeling its impact".
The Minister insists that whatever has been recovered including the 9.2 million Dollars from the former NNPC GMD by the EFCC is just a tip of the iceberg
He appealed to Nigerians to give useful information on looted funds to
continue to provide the authorities with such information, saying
confidentiality would be maintained with regards to the source of the
Mr Mohammed also reminded Nigerians of the financial reward aspect of
the policy, saying "If there is a voluntary return of stolen or
concealed public funds or assets on the account of the information
provided, the whistle blower may be entitled to anywhere between 2.5%
(minimum) and 5.0% (maximum) of the total amount recovered".
FG Sets Up Asset Recovery Committee
In November 2016, The Nigerian government set up an inter-agency Presidential Committee on Asset Recovery (PCAR), as part of efforts to strengthen the ongoing fight against corruption.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, gave a hint of the move while meeting with the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for West Africa, Mr Mohammed Chambas.
Mr Mohammed also called for the support of the UN in fighting corruption, which he said was as dangerous and devastating as the fight against insecurity.
He disclosed that the PCAR, which was set up on the recommendation of the Presidential Advisory Council Against Corruption, will over-sight the anti-corruption agenda and coordinate asset recovery process.
Mr Mohammed said the PCAR, which is headed by the Vice President, was coordinating the collation and categorisation of recovered assets from 2015-2016; verifying the records and status of physical assets such as buildings recovered under previous administration and setting up the framework for Management of Recovered Stolen Asset.
He stated that the move was to avoid re-looting and mismanagement of asset as was experienced in the past.
The minister further announced that an asset register for recovered stolen assets and other government assets has been created to avoid a situation where former or even serving public officers carry away government assets like vehicles and computers among others.
He said that part of the mandate of the committee was to prevent the stealing of assets which sometimes occur in multiples.

Joseph and His Master's Wife: A Tale of Love, Obsession, Temptation and Piety
Teaching in English from Jerusalem, Israel | Presented by LABA at the 14th Street Y
Few characters in the Bible are as complex and ambiguous as the one of Joseph. What adds to the allure of his character are the many Biblical, Talmudic and Midrashic references to his exceptional physical beauty. In this class we will savor this beauty, as well as the beauty of the many tales that are told about the handsome Hebrew slave who has become the grand prince of Egypt, thus irreversibly changing the course of his people's history. We will also ask the question that lurks between the lines of this epic love tale: what really went on in the bedchamber of the wife of Potiphar the Egyptian?

GNSS air test / Airbus case study
The case
Airbus' safe approach with GNSS air test
Improving the safety of helicopter flights, a safe approach to small airports or heliports without the need for a ground structure: this is what Airbus is striving for. Airbus wanted to implement localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) approach procedures to allow a safe approach. This has clear applications in various emergency rescue operations and oil platform or military-related missions.
Airbus' top priority: safety. Its helper: GNSS air test by Rohde & Schwarz
No matter whether it's demanding environments or weather conditions: Airbus offers a wide range of helicopters for business, government, military and law enforcement applications. Modern aviation instrument approach procedures such as localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) ensure safety during take-off, landing and in lower airspace. This procedure uses the highly accurate geopositioning data offered by GNSS together with a wide area augmentation system (WAAS), making it an ideal solution for flying in low visibility conditions without any ground support. Even in the most emergency scenarios, aircraft can operate safely.
Rohde & Schwarz fully supports the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test method. In addition to its award-winning solutions and industry-leading products, this is one of the reasons why Airbus chose Rohde & Schwarz as its GNSS provider.
The solution
R&S®SMBV100A vector signal generator and GNSS simulator as the ideal HiL testing solution
Rohde & schwarz developed R&S®SMBV100A – a vector signal generator that supports all functionality and fulfils the following features:
- real-time remote control
- easy integration into a dynamic HiL environment
- simulates the receiver movement in real time
- the HiL Simulator is used to support the following metrics
- position coordinates
- kinetic parameters
- vehicle position information
This data simulates updated receiver movements in real time. The R&S®SMBV100A is connected to the helicopter antenna input where it feeds in the GNSS signal for the satellite- based augmentation system (SBAS).
The FMS calculates the position settings based on the helicopter. This is performed by the Rohde & Schwarz vector signal generator. The GNSS receiver then calculates the position, which is fed back to the FMS. The next flight point is determined, and the loop continues. To ensure requirements such as a vertical alarm limit (VAL), it is essential for the simulation solution to repeatedly obtain the required GNSS signal with high precession and minimal deviation over the span of several hours. The R&S®SMBV100A successfully completed this task, effectively demonstrating the instrument's full strength and performance.
Initial assessments based on simulated signals are performed on the helicopter test system before the LPV approach procedure is tested in real flight. This is a specially prepared rig with a fully equipped avionics system comprising the flight management system (FMS) and automatic flight control systems (AFCS) with all relevant actuators and sensors. Rig tests have the advantage that functionality, performance and failure handling of the prototype can be systematically monitored under controlled, reproducible and safe conditions.
R&S®SMBV100B vector signal generator
Continuing the success story of the well-known R&S®SMBV100A, Rohde&Schwarz has introduced the compact midrange vector signal generator R&S®SMBV100B.
- Full-featured and reliable GNSS signal source
- Advanced simulation capabilities for configuring complex and realistic GNSS scenarios for all major GNSS constellations (GPS, Gallileo, Glonass, Beidou)
- Fully controlled test environment featuring signal propagation effects, system errors and additional modelling settings
'The R&S®SMBV100A is a very versatile and powerful tool. The support Rohde&Schwarz provided to fine tune the vector signal generator to our needs was awesome. We now have an affordable solution to test LPV approaches with hardware in the loop (HiL) at all our test benches.'
Ramiro Rodriguez, Expert in Avionic Integration Means, Airbus Helicopters S.A.S
Rohde & Schwarz – the ideal candidate for GNSS testing
Rohde & Schwarz offers a variety of solutions and instruments providing timely support to engineers. Besides Rohde & schwarz offers:
- free firmware updates to make sure that costumers stay at the cutting edge of technological advancements for many years to come.
- globe-spanning network of subsidiaries: Rohde & Schwarz experts are always close to their customers and partners
- excellent instrument performance and reliable long-term support services allow customers to follow ambitious development roadmaps and reduce costs and risks at the same time.

Last month SEAS held its first alumni reception at the University Club, and it was a very enjoyable occasion. It was an opportunity for over one hundred alumni, faculty and friends of SEAS to catch up on careers and to network. President Stuart Rabinowitz graciously spoke kind words about our growth over the past four years and what it does for the image of the university. Mr. Tom Sanzone '82, a graduate of our Department of Computer Science, who is now CEO of Black Knight Financial Services (the major player in handling mortgage data for the nation's banks), gave a riveting keynote speech about how Hofstra helped him toward his career, and about the attributes a technically proficient person needs to cultivate in order to create opportunities for themselves and for others.
There were graduates from over 20 years ago, from less than 10 years ago, and even from last year – all of them with interesting stories to tell. A number of them had gone into the financial services industry, some were actively involved in the ongoing transformation of Manhattan with the Hudson Yards projects or upstate with the new Tappan Zee bridges, and some were in charge of their own mid-sized consulting firms. Several were already in a position to hire some of our Co-op students and some of our recent graduates. A number of them took advantage of the opportunity to visit our new laboratories just prior to the reception, and were duly impressed with what our current students have at their disposal.
The evening illuminated for me once again just how versatile our graduates are, and therefore how valuable an SEAS education is. At events where I speak to prospective students and their parents, I like to point out that only 50% of engineering and computer science graduates actually hold a position defined by their major. The rest are using the skills they developed in our programs in other fields where logical ways of thinking and a facility for handling data are essential for success.
Of course our current students are gearing up for final exams early this month, exams which test their knowledge of very specific subjects, many of them replete with arcane equations and lengthy design protocols. These exercises are an integral feature of technical education, a rite of passage for students to show they have the mettle to attain the degree that signifies a broad knowledge of their field of study. Many will also be presenting capstone design projects before an audience of faculty, fellow students and outside judges.
I salute their hard work, and anticipate them moving eventually into the ranks of our graduates. And I look forward to seeing them at future alumni receptions, recounting their own interesting life stories.
Happy holidays to all.

Heaven Upside DownMusic CD - 2017
Beverly Hills, CA :, Loma Vista Recordings,, [2017]
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
After nearly a decade of lukewarm-at-best releases and an unstable career trajectory, Heaven Upside Down is a pleasant return to form for Manson. Though the record lacks the searing angst of his golden years, the sound is not without teeth, aided by the songwriting of producer Tyler Bates. Songs "KILL4ME", "Tattooed In Reverse", and "Threats Of Romance" exhibit the swagger and grimace we've come to know from Manson, with "KILL4ME" being the standout single of this record.
A major complaint that comes to mind is the trite use of overly simplistic and unimaginative anti-religious content in his lyrics. Manson keeps employing the use of lyrical content that may have been viewed as heinous and blasphemous in the late 90s during his come up, but in the modern times these stabs at society and culture simply seem played out. A new take on his unique, shock-rock perspective would be nice.
Overall, an entertaining listen that sits nicely in the the latter half of Manson's career.

General Tips
- The converting and storage should take place in a climate of 35 to 65% relative humidity at temperatures of between 10 and 30°C. Due to the natural components of the material it tends to curl when relative humidity is fairly high, which can cause print head damage. We recommend that the material is first removed from original packaging when printing commences!. After the printing process put the media back in its original packaging. Cotton gloves are always recommended when handling Inkjet coated materials to avoid fingerprints.
- Use dye inks only for short-term application (2-3 weeks).The inkjet coating is water- resistant with the correct inks as shown below. The product has mainly been designed for indoor applications. For long-term applications, the use of pigmented inks is strongly recommended. The media may also be sewn and used as a banner. Attention when using cut sheets: only put one sheet into the printer feeding. For protection and to reduce the impact of dirt, physical abrasion or other environmental impact we recommend to use a protective laquer.

What To Watch On Amazon Prime This Week (March 10-16)
Sum up: The end of "Catastrophe" — one of Amazon's first beloved original series — certainly feels like the closing of an era. Amazon has been pivoting from small-budget, character-focused shows like this to more ambitious projects like "Homecoming" and the upcoming "Lord of the Rings" series. "Catastrophe" hit a sweet spot of being crowd-pleasing as well as critically adored. Horgan and Delaney are simply super-funny people, and having them both fight and love each other is a good formula to create compelling scenes.
Heads up: The show has a goofy comedic sensibility that may be polarizing. And as mentioned, the show is coming to an end, so if you fall in love with these new episodes, you'll have to quickly say goodbye to the characters.

Please forgive yourself if you don't know what G19 is (was). It was a guideline published by the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association regarding Compensation Disclosure in Group Benefits and Group Retirement Services. I say 'was' because the guideline was just withdrawn after years of effort to bring it to life. (I am focused here on the retirement industry but many of the comments that I make are also relevant to the group benefits industry).
Disclaimer: I work with many insurance brokers who did not like the guideline and will undoubtedly be happy the guideline has died just days before its effective date. I also work with many of the insurance companies that are members of the CLHIA and hope to maintain good working relationships with them. With that said, you know I call it like I see it.
Compensating Brokers
When I was in school, we learned of the broker model. Essentially insurance companies compensate brokers for selling insurance products but in fact these brokers are not employees of the insurer but are 'agents' of the purchaser of the insurance. When I first learned of this compensation model I was surprised it worked because it seemed wide open for conflicts of interest. As I have worked for 30+ years I have seen the positive side of the brokerage model.
I grew up at Mercer in a fee-for-service world. Every job was billed by the hour – and if you worked slowly you made more money. This model was my downfall in the mainstream industry. I would work in a focused manner for about 6 hours a day but then needed breaks and was never as highly regarded as those who could sit still for 10 hours – whether those 10 hours were productive or not. Large clients struggled to measure value for hours and price sensitivity was low when fees were paid from pension fund surplus.
When I started my own firm, I had the chance to obtain an insurance license and receive commissions. I declined for two reasons. First, it was a pain as insurers didn't really want a small agent like I was going to be. Second, the Rules of Professional Conduct for actuaries require the disclosure of all direct and indirect compensation (good rule) and so any commissions would be disclosed and just reduce other fees that I could charge. Commissions weren't going to help me.
But that is not to say that I think paying commissions is a bad idea. Our firm spends a lot of time and money every month sending out invoices trying to explain the value that we have created for clients and the amount we would like them to pay us. We then wait for payment and sometimes follow-up a few times (eventually we always get paid). In contrast, brokers develop relationships with clients and value is measured by outcomes rather than time – which to me is a better model. Brokers don't spend time invoicing, although they do have to make an effort to reconcile the commission cheques the insurers send them.
G19 – Good and Bad
G19 was an attempt by the CLHIA to force brokers to disclose to their clients the compensation that they receive in commissions. On the surface this doesn't sound offensive at all and frankly I am a little suspect of brokers hiding commissions since clients can't measure value if they don't know what they pay. As I understand it, the guideline had its roots in negative experiences insurers had with brokers pressuring for substantial undisclosed commissions to 'keep' business the insurer already had. I have no evidence this is true, but it seems plausible.
If an insurer didn't like the compensation being demanded by brokers why not say no? Answer: in this world where everyone is competing for market share there is no room to push work away to a competitor that is a little more comfortable with the proposed commission. Unless the industry could band together and force disclosure from all providers – one provider couldn't do it alone.
Unfortunately, the industry's solution to the problem, G19, was an almost unworkable and unfair system of disclosure. One problem was the fact that broker compensation includes commissions directly related to client policies as well as bonuses based upon overall volumes. These bonuses rewarded large brokers because they provided insurers with volume often by overseeing multiple agents and they also provided a little extra compensation in respect of a large collection of small clients that might not be profitable otherwise. Another problem was that many insurers did not have systems to provide the necessary compensation disclosure to brokers, so that it could be passed along to clients. It isn't very clear to brokers how these bonuses break down by client, so you already have a math problem that is hard to solve.
Add on that there are all sorts of non-cash compensation that must be considered. I will be golfing this summer with brokers and insurers. Sometimes I will be paying for golf and sometimes someone else will pay. Anyone who knows about my obsession with golf will know that being able to 'work' and golf at the same time is a dream come true. Like it or not, golfing is also a place where you do build relationships and trust which is super handy when you are at your desk and you need to call for help. People like to help people that they like. How does all of this get calculated in my compensation and how do we value the asset created for our clients by spending time with others? My first decade in practice I was mostly at my desk. I can promise you that I am much more effective today due to the strong industry connections that I have built in my second decade. If it makes readers feel better, no one called me to go to last night's Raptor's game.
Finally, the CLHIA only serves a small segment of the retirement business. Mutual fund dealers and stock brokers are regulated elsewhere and without a unified set of rules the insurance industry was just giving themselves a handicap in the competition for retirement programs sponsored by employers.
Doing it right
If someone wants to do this right then you will need one set of laws that oversee any retirement product regardless of provider. I am not holding my breath. In my mind, all clients need good advisors and while not perfect, I think that over time clients find advisors that meet their needs effectively. I wrote a little about this here.
To me it was interesting that the CLHIA wanted all broker compensation disclosed but saw no reason whatsoever for its member insurers to disclose their net compensation or amounts paid to other industry participants such as the investment managers whose funds they offer to their end client through the broker (or the golf outings with those 'partners'). My father's ethics test was always 'what's good for the goose is good for the gander'. G19 failed this basic test.
I can't tell if this was a poorly thought out disclosure strategy or a focused attempt to embarrass brokers the industry didn't like. Either way the withdrawal is a good outcome for the industry as a whole. Now the responsibility for commission disclosure is back on the shoulders of brokers and deciding the value of the work provided is squarely on the shoulders of clients. Before you scream at me about the brokers not disclosing commissions ask yourself about the clients that aren't asking. If clients aren't paying attention to what their brokers do for them and the value that they receive for the commissions they pay then shame on them.
Good post Joe. As it happens, a very sharp pension consultant recently told me about G19 (the first I'd heard of it). I agree that people should ask more questions. But even where the client is an organization; there are still people at the helm making decisions. And many of them are not knowledgeable on these issues. The onus should be on the people/companies interfacing with – and deriving revenue from – end clients to deal with them transparently and make sure clients are informed. The law doesn't require that, of course, but it's the right thing to do.
The "we don't have systems for that" argument was a common on pulled out by securities registrants when new disclosure rules were proposed many years ago. But that's the purpose of phase-in periods. The focus should be on what clients should (and deserve to) have in terms of information and disclosure; and figure out a way to deliver this to clients that is operationally feasible for the industry . I said this almost verbatim at an OSC roundtable discussion on alternatives to banning commissions on investment products in September 2017 (link to my summary below).
I'm not making any new friends in the industry but anything short of this isn't worth the effort of proposals, consultations, submissions, discussions, etc.

The ego of a person can be extremely harmful, because it often makes one reject valuable information. On a biological level there are specific neurons and neutransmitters which trigger a "defensive state" when we think and feel that our thoughts need to be protected from the opinions of others. If we are confronted with contrary opinions, the chemicals being released in the brain are the same as the ones produced when trying to ensure our survival in dangerous situations. In this state the primal part of the brain takes control and the individual cannot think rationally, thus physically causing "narrow-mindedness". On a neural level we react as if our life is being threatened even if that threat comes from harmless opinions which we might find helpful in different situations.
Albert Einstein had said:
More the knowledge lesser the ego, lesser the knowledge more the ego.
The lesser the ego you have, the more knowledge you will be able to absorb. You will not deny possibilities and information just because it may not fit within the boundaries of your "comfort zone". Every truth is but a half-truth, therefore the reasonable individual researches before he accepts or denies whatever it may be. The more ego one has, the more it'll influence him in denying a probable valuable information. No person should take any information which he may receive as false just because he may not be familiar with it. People often judge information through their beliefs, thus blindly stating what is possible and what is not, believing they are right. If one desires to limit someone else's sense of what is possible, he would only need to limit the information that the target receives. The individual often limits his own self through his ego which limits the information he receives. The more information we absorb, the more our sense of what is possible grows.
The difference between "Ego" and "self-esteem" is that the Ego is based on the individual's beliefs, thus blindly denying everything that does not seem to fit in his comfort zone, where self-esteem means that the individual knows who he is and is happy by his own nature regardless of other opinions. It means that one can accept being imperfect and yet feel good about himself, he is curios about things outside of his comfort zone and is not scared of not knowing, for he does not see the lack of knowledge or physical attributes as something which makes him less valuable as a human being - that is self-esteem.
True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

This poetic memoir is, among other things, an elegant telling of a boy who grows up among poor Mexican farmworkers and loses his mother at age 12.

Here, Hernández chronicles what her Cuban-Colombian family taught her about love, money, and race while also figuring out what it means to be an American and a woman.

Her honest writing explores the physical, financial, and emotional costs of being a high-achiever while also keeping the secret of her immigration status. Arce paints a picture of the typical undocumented immigrant—the person who could be your next door neighbor or your family down the street. Though her story is incredible, it's also not unusual—which is part of what makes it an incredible tale.
One of two memoirs by Eire, he writes of his childhood as a boy uprooted during the Cuban revolution before landing in Kennedy-era Miami. But what does it mean to be a refugee in a strange, new land? Eire faces his new American life with trepidation and excitement, wondering if his Cuban self must "die." His memoir explores both the everyday issues of growing up while also feeling out a completely new world and life.
Growing up in Puerto Rico amongst tropical beauty and domestic strife, Santiago is not at all ready for her new life when her mother moves her and her siblings to New York. Despite the fact that Puerto Ricans are indeed U.S. citizens—meaning that Santiago was not technically an immigrant—in New York, like many Puerto Ricans who move to the mainland, she had to learn new rules, a new language, and a new identity. This is not Santiago's only memoir, but her first, and an epic depiction of a coming of age journey as a Latina in the USA.
Although this book is not out until October 29, 2019, it already belongs on your must-read lists. Díaz is a masterful writer who tells the tale of being caught between two extremes: Growing up in the housing projects between Puerto Rico and Miami beach. With her family split apart, she is supported by the love of her friends while also longing for home. Writing with refreshing honesty, she talks about despair, depression, love, and hope with such vibrancy that her vivid portrayal will stay with you long after the final page.

My bearded dragon is about 1 and a half years old. We bought him from a pet store and he has been very healthy and we keep his lighting updated for health. He takes his calcium well and has a good heating source for day and night. He eats a variety of foods such as crickets, worms, grasshoppers, kale, bananas etc.
For the past week he hasn't been eating very well and he has been having little seizures I guess you could call them. We have brought him to a few different vets and he has been put on different medications throughout the past month (it was worse before this). We have tried all tactics of trying to feed him but he will take a single bite of baby food and maybe some water but that is it. Has anyone else had these problems and could help me? I'm really scared for my boy. His name is Randy.

You sell products on the Internet, but you're probably not alone in your market. Most likely, you've got at least one competitor. In these harsh economic times, ecommerce businesses especially have to remain more competitive than ever before, using every tool and every resource to help keep their ecommerce concern both viable and growing. It's a shame to say, but not every ecommerce business can survive. The ones that do will be the ones most open to embrace change and to capitalize on the potential of new technologies.
The following short list outlines just some ways to gain an advantage over your competitors, giving you tools and strategies that will put you out in front of your ecommerce niche competitors.
Get Aggressive with SEO
Search engine optimization has grown in just a few short years from a loose and largely uncatalogued collection of hints and ideas into a concise, orderly method of effective online marketing. Modern SEO techniques include a variety of methods and means to help you business rise to the top of search engine rankings, using simple tools and easy approaches to your website design and online footprint.
There are many SEO tutorials available online. Some are free, but most aren't, though help within the ecommerce community is also available free of charge. There are dozens of online chat rooms, message boards and forums, filled with ecommerce businessmen and experts. These areas are excellent resources to help you fine-tune your SEO mechanics without committing to a healthy expense.
Outsource Your Fulfillment Needs
Fulfillment refers to the series of steps and processes by which a company delivers a product to their customer. For most ecommerce businesses, this refers specifically to product or order fulfillment, in which a given product or goods is delivered to the customer via one of several shipping and delivery services.
By outsourcing your fulfillment needs to a third party fulfillment service company, you give yourself the freedom to develop your ecommerce business' front end, including all SEO and marketing tools you need to gain greater visibility in the marketplace. By keeping the warehousing, shipping, processing and tracking fulfillment needs under the care of the logistics experts in your fulfillment service company, you also increase your shipping efficiency while at the same time keeping costs for those fulfillment areas under tight control. That in turn allows you to funnel more resources towards your business' front end.

OTA - Over The Air
Over the Air is the oldest technology for the transmission of Television signals to homes. It has been used in Canada, USA, Europe and Asia since the 1950's.
With technology changes
has taken a huge leap forward over the past several years. The major change is that the old style analogue transmitters used to broadcast the signals
have gone digital, making a dramatic improvement in reception now known as Digital High Definition TV.
These signals have improved so dramatically that digital
produces picture and sound quality far supperior to any digital cable box or satellite service.
When it comes to paying for basic cable and still not getting a digital picture or HD, and then paying monthly for HD and still not getting the quality of OTA, it makes no sense. Once you have made the investment in OTA then you have no monthly bills, and you will receive your basic local networks at much higher quality and if you have a HDTV you will bring out the best picture capability from your expensive TV.
Finally Over the Air ( OTA ) gives us a real alternative to paying for basic cable services. Not only does it give us another choice for basic networks but the picture quality is far superior to and cable or satellite service. The greatest advantage of OTA is there is no monthly fees and you get HDTV.

When a person thinks of cellulite, they may think of many things. For the person who suffers from cellulite, embarrassment, and shame may come to mind. For the person who does not suffer from cellulite, an image of cellulite may pop into their mind. Many people believe that cellulite is a medical condition. This assumption is wrong. Cellulite is not a medical condition. Cellulite is the procedure of fatty tissue creating deposits in certain areas of the body and then doing so in such a way that these lumps of deposits can be seen on the external surface of the skin. Many people believe that cellulite only affects individuals that are overweight. This is not true either. Cellulite can affect a person of any size.
Many people believe that cellulite is a condition that they are unable to remedy. While it may prove to be extremely difficult for the person who suffers from cellulite to get rid of it, it is quite possible to eliminate cellulite. However, it is very important that you know ahead of time that it will not be easy and that you will need to implement a variety of lifestyle changes in order to eliminate cellulite from your body. These changes will need to occur in both your exercise program, as well as you diet. If your body is not healthy in one way or another, you will most likely develop cellulite.
There are many suggestions on how cellulite comes to develop. Many people suggest that cellulite will start to develop once a female hits puberty. With the wide array of fluctuating hormones, it is quite possible for a female to experience a variety of changes to the body, including cellulite. Other people suggest that cellulite occurs due to the fact that the person has too many toxins in their body and they do not maintain a healthy lifestyle. Whatever the reason, cellulite is an uncomfortable condition that many people wish to resolve as soon as possible.
There are varieties of treatment methods when it comes to cellulite. You can find various supplements that specialize in the removal of cellulite. There are cellulite wraps that you can purchase as well. Many health stores carry an assortment of creams, lotions, and ointments that will assist in cellulite removal. There are also pills that you can purchase that are supposed to assist in eliminating cellulite. Many people consider liposuction and other surgical ways to eliminate cellulite. However, this can be a very challenging way to handle cellulite and may pose many complications for a person. However, one of the main ways that doctors suggest to eliminate cellulite is to ensure that you eat healthy foods and maintain a high level of exercise to ensure that you are burning as much fat as possible.

A couple of days ago, HMD Global's Chief Product Officer, Juho Sarvikas, revealed when will HMD Global's MWC 2019 press conference take place, and now some information surfaced which more or less confirms that the Nokia 9 PureView will be announced at MWC 2019 in Barcelona at that very same presser.
Now, this information surfaced in form of two images that are circulating online, and it seems like they are actually two different invites for the same event. Both of those images are included below; the first shows not only the date of the event, February 24, but also reveals part of the penta-camera setup on the back of the Nokia 9 PureView, and that clearly confirms that the phone will be announced during the event. Both the date and that partial camera setup are presented inside an eye / camera lens.
The second image that you will spot down below seems to suggest that the Nokia 9 PureView will not be the only device that will launch during that event, or at least that the Nokia 9 PureView's design that leaked is not accurate (which is highly unlikely). This image suggests that one of the phones that HMD Global will announce will sport an in-display camera which will sit in the top-left corner of the phone's display. Now, this camera will either be included in the Nokia 9 PureView, which means that the leaked design is completely off, or that the company plans to introduce a second phone at MWC 2019. Considering that February 24 is not mentioned in this invite, but instead, it says February 25 – 28, chances are that this image teases the Nokia 8.1 Plus, more on that later.
The Company's Penta Camera Beast
The Nokia 9 PureView, according to leaked images, will be made out of metal and glass, it will sport seven "rings" on the back, and five of them are reserved for cameras. The sixth ring is there for an LED flash, while the seventh one is reserved for some sort of a dual sensor, perhaps the laser autofocus and something else, we'll just have to wait in order to find out.
Now, as far as the phone's front side is concerned, the Nokia 9 PureView is actually expected to ship without notches and without display holes, unlike most other flagships out there. The phone will sport some bezel above and below the display, but those bezels will not be thick at all, though they will be thicker than bezels on most other flagship handsets, due to the lack of a notch / display hole.
The Nokia 9 PureView will be fueled by either the Snapdragon 845 or 855, though both variants are rumored, so both of them may become official at some point. Android 9 Pie will come pre-installed on the phone, and the company will include "PureView" tech in this device, as its name says. The phone will ship with at least 6GB of RAM, while a large battery is also expected, and a display that is at least 6 inches large (in diagonal).
HMD Global's First Phone With Display Camera Hole
The only HMD Global's smartphone with display camera hole that surfaced thus far is the Nokia 8.1 Plus. That handset will be made out of metal and glass, while it will sport thin bezel, and two vertically-aligned cameras on the back. The device is said to sport a 6.22-inch fullHD+ display, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and ship with stock Android as part of Android One project, which actually goes for all other Nokia-branded smartphones that arrived in the last year.
The device will include ZEISS lenses, and the leak suggested that it will sport a rear-facing fingerprint scanner. The Nokia 8.1 Plus is expected to measure 156.9 x 76.2 x 7.8mm, and that's pretty much all the info that we have at the moment, as the rest of its specifications are still a mystery.

Theoretical part of Driver's License Exam Digitalized
- Published in Soualiga Newsday Focus
- font size decrease font size increase font size
GREAT BAY, (DCOMM) – The Ministry of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Traffic and Telecommunications (TEATT), Driving Exams Department (DED) has commenced with a soft launch of its 'Digital Theory Driving Examinations, and with the full launch scheduled for September 2nd, 2019'.
The Driving Exams Department has commenced with digitization which is about a five-year process. The department started off with the digitalization of the theoretical part of the exam which has been vetted by curriculum developers used by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports, and they are based on local and international standards.
The aforementioned automated process is also in use on the French side of the island as well as in Aruba and Curacao.
DED wants to move away from the current system and into the 21st century leading to a well versed and rounded driver with safety being number one on the public roadway.
Driver's license applicants have 30 questions with a choice of 30 to 45 minutes. A number of applicants have passed the exam and have expressed satisfaction with the new system.
DED advises that applicants should not be nervous or overanxious. The timeframe to take the theoretical exam is sufficient.
The program allows the applicant to get their results instantly via email once they have entered their email address into the system. Applicants must have basic computer-use knowledge which facilitates the examination process. Under special conditions candidates with challenges can be accommodated if the candidates advised the Civil Registry in advance upon application for the exam.
The manual theoretical exam system will be phased out after September 2nd, 2019. The new system allows DED to quadruple the number of exams carried out in one day.
The process for the applicant has improved leading to a better customer service experience; the time from making the appointment to sitting the exam has been shortened considerably.
There are plans in the making to integrate the appointment system with that of the Civil Registry Department where it concerns notification of appointment via email. This should take place in the second half of 2019.
Driving schools are now more important than ever. They have been appraised of the new system that has been put in place and applicants will need to work more closer with the aforementioned in preparing for their exams.
The new system has not led to an increase in costs for applicants.

The public has had an opportunity to digest and comment on amendments to the HANO criminal background check procedure. New directives would ensure those convicted of a serious crime would have their voice heard. Serious crime takes in kidnapping, armed robbery and murder. A 3 member panel would review their cases to reside in public housing or be in receipt of Section 8 vouchers. What underpins the revised criminal background check policy is to provide stability and to embrace their families again. Also to reduce recidivism of which secure housing has been a major contributing factor. Currently individuals can be refused assistance with housing on certain grounds. That being if any criminal activity has been recorded against the individual or a family member.
A Housing Authority of New Orleans initiative would ease the passage to public housing for those with less serious offenses. The policy met with mixed reviews yet urged HANO to take extra strides to achieve their goal. A final decision is expected next week. February initially saw the unveiling of the amendments to the criminal background check policy. However the HANO plan has been kicking around for some 3 years previous. A pledge was made by the agency to remove obstacles to public housing, The change to the criminal background check policy was not outlined until this year under a new administration.
Interestingly a move to open public housing to offenders was resisted back in mid 2015. For individuals who require more scrutiny the three member panel would consider employment and community ties. They will also consider rehab treatment (drug and alcohol) along with criminal histories. Those individuals can have an attorney mediate with the panel or appear in person. A right to appeal is also available. HANO will also request that 3rd party housing agents/managers engage with the amended HANO criminal background check policy. This in place of the screening methods currently used. Some agencies though may not be obliged contractually but will be encouraged to do so and is not mandatory. However executive director of the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center advised, after reviewing existing contracts, that there would be very little that would prevent the revised policy from being mandatory.

10 bought, 13 read, and around a dozen seems to be my average literary intake lately: maybe 13 should be considered a reader's dozen, rather than a baker's dozen.
My book purchases this month came almost exclusively from California, where we were exploring everything from the Redwood National Forests, home of the world's tallest trees, to Esalen, home of the world's leading physical and mental retreats (as reported in last month's blog).
More specifically, they all came from San Francisco, indeed from one street, nay one store on Valencia Street: Dog Eared Books, packed with new and used books of all genres, and most excitingly for me just about every McSweeney's issued book, magazine, or special in varying degrees of limited edition-ness and signed state.
While I was visiting Apple's new HQ, (and not getting in, as I hadn't been told you need an appointment to visit The Spaceship, so I had to make do with the former location at 1 Infinite Loop), I immersed myself in Apple Lore by bringing with me the iconic Walter Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs, (incredibly informative and surprisingly easy to read), as well as a fun side of the life of my fellow countryman and Apple design genius (Sir) Jony Ive.
I also bought a lovely new Apple pen, (of the non-digital variety) only on sale at their Cupertino store, which is at once over-priced, utterly gorgeous, and my new favourite writing implement.
Both fans and haters of Apple products will find none of that last sentence surprising.
While we were travelling down the Pacific coast we stayed at a beyond-beautiful Air BnB, and the hosts had kindly left behind a fittingly adorable book I had read years previously, all about the Danish sense of 'hygge,' or…well, there's no real translation for it. Cosiness comes close, and there's a lot to do with wood and fireplaces and friends and generally hanging out, but to really understand it you'll either have to be Danish, or read the book, (either of which I recommend highly).
And then I read his follow-up, which I'd never seen before, on why Danes (and Scandewegians generally) are so damn 'lykke,' or happy. Why should you trust the author, Meik Wiking, (apart from the fact that he is basically called Mike the Viking, surely one of the most awesome names ever). No real reason. Except that he happens to be literally the CEO of an institute which researches happiness named, perhaps slightly prosaically, The Happiness Research Institute.
To go with my newfound path to happiness I thought I'd have a side salad of health, provided (via my brother- and sister-in-law) by Dr.Rangan Chatterjee. He has written a common-sense medical self-help book on how to eliminate the modern scourge of chronic disease (diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, etc) without resorting to the other modern scourge of over-medication.
If you're looking for spoilers, it boils down to a few basic things which it can never hurt to be reminded: Do exercise. Be thankful. Eat healthily. Sleep well.
So simple, yet not always so simple to do.
But somewhat easier when you're on the road, with loved ones, taking in the beauty of the world's most majestic flora.

City of Portland, Oregon Funding Guidelines
City of Portland innovation fund was created by the city council in fiscal year 13-14 and is administered by the OMF Business Operations. The innovation funds grant was created to fund ideas that were promising to improve city government. Innovation review panel looks at these criteria before accepting funding proposals. 1. Promote equity and opportunity. 2. Improve customer service. 3. Save time or money. 4. Improve city services. The ideal innovation proposal is a proof of concept that could ultimately be continued or replicated. Innovation funds are intended to finance new work, not to replace or supplement current salaries. Proposals should communicate a comprehensive, well-thought out plan for any requested innovation dollars, and the bureau should have sufficient staff resources to carry out the project. Major grants range from $20,001 to $150,000. Micro-grants range from $1 to $20,000.

City of Baltimore, Maryland innovation Program
Baltimore innovation program is composed of three city initiatives: The innovation fund, the employee innovation program and Baltimore L.I.F.T (Lean, Innovation, Forward Thinking).

The innovation program gives employees the opportunity to present their ideas on how they believe they can improve the local government on a small and large scale. Giving them the opportunity to host events where employees can gather to examine a process and improve it by replying on their ideas, input and experience. The goal overall is to create a lean government. There has been $4.9 million dollars invested in innovation fund projects and 10 innovation programs have been funded since 2012.

There's something about indepently-owned coffee shops that I love. The feeling of unexpected community mixed with the scent of hot coffee always draws me in. I love observing my fellow shop-goers and determining if they're a student escaping their college campus for new inspiration to crank out a term paper, an established writer working on their next book or just a lover of good vibes in need of some scenery outside of the house.
Regardless, when I visited Sip & Sonder for the first time last weekend, I was met with all of my favorite coffee shop aspects. The decor was earthy and modern with the industrial exposed ceiling painted black, dawning gold light fixtures for contrast. One wall was painted with an abstract purple design and the wall across was adorned with art work. The wall that really stuck out was the "Sonder" wall that displayed the definition of the word, because we were all wondering what it meant. Is sonder to contemplate in deep thought? No, that's ponder… Anyway, "sonder" by this shop's definition is "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own – populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness."
Of course, the reason why I visited this shop in the first place is because it's indepently owned and not a part of a large chain, meaning my $5 towards an Americano is going directly to the business owner. The second reason why I was drawn to this shop is because of its location in Inglewood about half a mile from the new, highly-anticipated football stadium.
Gentrification is something that people of color are all too familiar with. So, when huge revenue streams come to cities such as Inglewood, we often see white business owners and home buyers flocking to these areas at lightning speed. Sip & Sonder, however, is black-owned. It's location in the heart of Black Los Angeles is essential to maintaining our community and sustaining the rich culture and history that makes Inglewood what it is today.
Allies are great and necessary, but the black community is so dynamic and has so much to offer, why not start building from within?
-Amanda-Jane Thomas, co-owner
The owners of this shop, Shanita Nicholas and Amanda-Jane Thomas are two beautiful black women who have created something more than a shop in an evolving neighborhood where hypebeasts will visit just to post on Instagram. They've made a space for artists, business owners, families, singles, students and everyone in between. Sip & Sonder gives us an overarching sense of comfort that our neighborhood is in good hands. We can all embrace the change coming to this area with ease knowing that spaces like this are open for business.
