The true size can be particularly important in children. Our new TRACOE kids product range consists of the tried and trusted TRACOE mini and the brand-new TRACOE silcosoft. The tracheostomy tubes in both these lines have been developed especially for neonates, infants and older children. We have focussed particularly on the flange design and the use of comfortable materials.
NEW! TRACOE silcosoft: very soft, flexible, spiral-reinforced silicone tubes, with and without cuffs. Special features include the optimal shape of the flange and the patented, especially reinforced eyelets on the wings.
Our tried and trusted TRACOE mini is a soft, thin-walled but stable PVC tube that does not contain DEHP. The flange has a sloping under surface to optimise the fit.
The specially designed obturator is extremely practical. The ring-shaped grip ensures that tubes can be inserted safely and easily, despite their small size and different materials. Extensions, neck straps, heat/moisture exchangers, and special compresses are available to fit the TRACOE kids tubes.
To ensure the best solution for each young patient, TRACOE kids mini is available in 12 different sizes: 4 for use in neonates/infants and 8 for paediatric use. TRACOE kids silcosoft is available in 11 different sizes: 4 for use in neonates/infants and 7 for paediatric use.
TRACOE silcosoft is a very soft, flexible, spiral-reinforced silicone tube. The neck flange has been designed with paediatric anatomy in mind. Patented reinforced eyelets on the flange prevent the material tearing with a hook-and-loop fastener. Length-specific variants can be supplied from stock. For larger order quantities delivery time on request.
The material properties of silicone are particularly beneficial to young patients: well tolerated, free from latex and DEHP, and easy to insert. It is less likely to become encrusted and is easy to clean. silcosoft tubes can be re-used up to seven times.
The specially designed obturator is extremely practical. The ring-shaped grip ensures that the tube can be inserted safely and easily, despite its small size.
When the cuff is deflated, it is close and tight to the tube. It is filled with up to 2 ml of sterile water. The cuff acts as a seal to prevent the aspiration of food and saliva from the pharynx and the unwanted escape of air during ventilation.

Blurb from goodreads:
Doctor Mollie Vickers loves the tight-knit community of her tiny Oregon town. But she's not a fan of the limited dating options. Sleep with a guy who tried to copy off her in junior high? Pass. Mollie's sex life is flatlining… until a deliciously handsome man she's never seen before stops to help her fix a flat tire.
As an ex-mobster, Rafe Maguire's no saint. But he's trying to turn over a new leaf. Although he probably shouldn't kiss the hot doctor on the side of the highway. Or suggest a no-strings fling with a woman he has no business pursuing. Rafe's life is too complicated for love—his new WITSEC-provided identity doesn't fit him at all and there's a U.S. Marshal watching his every move. He can't tell Mollie the truth… but their chemistry is scorching and being good doesn't mean he can't be a little bad.
Mollie can't resist the guy who looks rough, talks tough, and is loyal to the bone. But it's obvious Rafe is keeping secrets. When the truth comes out, Mollie must decide if she could ever love an ex-mobster… or if this bad boy has truly gone good.
I've read and enjoyed several of Ms Barth's books and was excited to hear about her new series. But, I had concerns when I heard the hero was former Mafia. So many romances these days glamorize the Mafia and, too, I'm not a fan of hard core criminals as the hero (there are exceptions, but in general, no). But the blurb does say he's an ex-mobster, trying to change, and a romance blogger whose reviews I enjoy had good things to say about it, so I decided 'what the heck, give it a shot'.
Barth didn't glamorize the Mafia but she did downplay it. I very much doubt that someone like Rafe would last long in a real Mafia. He was...Mafia-lite. Which was odd. I was happy that he wasn't a hardcore criminal but I had a hard time buying him as a Mafia enforcer. That part of the story, the whole set-up for the trilogy, was weak. Without going into too much details, and accidental spoilers, the whole premise and all the details were, well, unbelievable. Granted, all I know of the mafia and the Witness Protection Program comes from entertainment - books, TV, and movies - but it just didn't ring true or believable.
What did work were the dynamics between the brothers and the romance between Rafe and Mollie. The brothers have their problems and they don't always get along but their bonds are strong, if a little rocky currently. Their lives have completely changed and they had little say in the matter, which has caused some problems between them. They tease each other, they fight, they grumble, but they stick together and have each other's backs.
Rafe and Mollie were sweet together. Both of them are in search of second chances, while giving others second chances. They've each seen challenging times and had unconventional families. They start their relationship not as a relationship but as a fling. They're both just looking for a good time. Events escalate quickly, moving their fling into a relationship at the same time that their are complications with the brothers' witness protection. The result was an HEA for Rafe and Mollie but an ending to the story that was just too pat and easy and not very believable.
It may sound like I didn't enjoy the story but I did. I have reservations about some things, and the emotional payoff was weakened by how easily Mollie accepted certain things, but I liked all of the characters and their relationships. I liked how real certain parts of the story felt; yes, the story did have very believable elements, despite my complaints. Barth infused the story with humor and with a quirkiness that wasn't over the top. I loved the interactions between Rafe and his brother, between Mollie, her cousin, and their grandmother. The relationships and the humor kept me reading and have me wanting to read the next book. I'll be looking for book two, "Never Been Good".
Some favorite quotes ~
But no kiss. Mollie's eyes popped back open. Yep, Rafe was right there, face shrouded in darkness, all hard planes and shadows. Aka soooo darn tingle-inducing. "Did you get lost on the way to my lips?" "Sometimes it's about the journey, not the destination."
But emotional hang-ups didn't have to be logical. They just were.
What was that? It sure hadn't been just fling sex. It started out that way. But then it morphed into what had to be called real relationship sex. Bordering on making love. Omigod.
"Should I be helping?" "Hell, no." But it made her as cute a could be for offering. So far she'd shown him sass, strength, stubbornness, and now a sweet side. Along with sexy when she'd given him that unintentional boob shot. Yeah, the doctor was the whole package. The only thing missing - by a mile - was street smarts.

Hi - terrific site.
I have a 180 cm Elliot delta kite. There are two nylon loops, about 2 inches apart, for connecting my line. One is closer to the nose, the other two inches back from the first.
I'm guessing I am supposed to pick between the two loops depending on the wind conditions - or something like that.
Thanks in advance for your expert advice.
Best regards,
Jesse Gersenson
I'm guessing that you have the OK-Delta-Pilot 180 cm single-liner. This kite has an open keel - open at the front to prevent nose-dives. On looking closely at the enlarged image, I could see what appeared to be 2 attachment points at the expected spots on the keel. About 2" apart as you have told me.
I think you are right - use the rear attachment point for most of your flying. However, if the wind is brisk and the Delta starts to misbehave, shift the flying line to the forward point. By 'misbehave' I mean looping, or flying sideways across the sky for extended periods of time. Unstable in other words, having trouble just sitting there high up.
"Some models allow the attachment of various line laundry by additional loops."
The above quote was taken from a reseller site, with regard to some of the Elliot Deltas. However, I don't think that applies to yours, unless you find even more loops along the trailing edge perhaps.
Happy flying, and thanks for the compliment regarding the site!

Introduction: Add a Wireless Antenna to Your Eeepc 900a
This instructable shows you how to install a wireless connector to your eeepc, suitable for antennas and such.
So let's say you have an eeepc 900a (or other book of the "net" variety). It's got an okay wireless card, but not much else going for it - all it's good for is surfing the net. You'd like to use (insert wireless resource here) and yet (distance-related limitations, restraining orders, etc). So, you do what any sane man would do - Claim that you are Napoleon Bonaparte, and use an external antenna!
This netbook has no wireless connector built in. So your options are:
a) buy an external usb wireless adapter with a connector on it - circa 50 bucks
b) buy a $5 connector, and mod your netbook at the risk of breaking it.
The correct option of course is b). ... well.... Unfortunately most USB wireless dongles don't work well under linux (some do but it seems kind of tricky - I've read that sometimes even the same version of the same model has a different chipset, so purchasing the right one can be a pain in the neck). Conversely - although it may take fiddling under some distributions - the eeepc internal wireless happens to work perfectly under the latest version of eeebuntu (which is like... ubuntu.. for eeepc...)
Things you will need:
- A soldering iron
- Your wits
- Solder
- A reverse SMA MALE connector (thread on the outside, with a pin in the centre)
- Knowledge of the principles of static electricity (Antistatic wrist strap, if one thou hast)
- Your wits
- A screwdriver (one flat, and one tiny philips head, for tiny screws)
- Electric drill and drillbits
- A retractable blade thingy. For sharpening your wits. And, just in case.
- An almost legendary disregard for the sacred bond between warrantee and warranteur.
Step 1: Disassemble Your Netbook
TigerOnEeePc already has a great youtube tutorial on how to disassemble the main body of your netbook and removing the motherboard. PLEASE WATCH all parts of the tutorial or you'll probably break something - there are little release tabs in the keyboard and other things you need to look out for. (I could have included my own instructions but... he did such a great job that there's no point.)
the difference here, DON'T remove the wireless card or memory cards from the motherboard, just unplug the antennas (seen in the second photo). everything else, keyboard, motherboard, you can remove and put somewhere safe. I suggest you place the motherboard underneath the cat while you rub it frantically with a balloon - uh - on second thought, leave it on your desk.
(disclaimer: Any stickers that you remove or break might end up voiding whatever it is the sticker says it will void if you remove or break it. If you don't know how to handle sensitive components, etc! Vis a vis! Consequently! Ergo! etcetera!)
Next I will explain disassembling the screen, which is necessary to get at the antenna.
Step 2: Take That Screen Apart
Remove the little plastic/rubber dots that are on your LCD screen. Both the rubber ones and the plastic ones at the bottom. Don't feel guilty about this - they'd do the same to you if they had the chance.
When you remove all the rubber dots, a small amount of poison gas will be released from the holes. Hold your breath for nine seconds.
Unscrew the screws.
There are plastic tabs preventing you from pulling the plastic border off. Using the flat screwdriver, carefully work your way around the edge. Don't stab the screwdriver into the lcd panel or anything.
if you undo the screws holding the LCD panel down, you can remove the whole thing (not the black screws on the sides of the LCD panel, but the screws on each corner). . I recommend this, because then you have an empty shell and you can pretty much hurl it across the room without breaking it. (warning, do not hurl across room). the camera, microphone, a couple of wires and cpu fan can stay there.
Step 3: Drill a Hole, Insert Connector
take to the empty plastic shell with an electric drill - i recommend the gap under the motherboard, between the ethernet port and single usb port. There is space here because other models included a modem or something
use a drill bit. Also, use one of the correct size (so the connector fits in). place the hole as low as you can get it, and it should fit.
now, once you insert your connector, you may realise that it is a PCB right-angled affair, and entirely the wrong shape. If this happens, have-bought a different style of connector. Alternatively, cut off the bottom part by carefully sawing around in a circle. Don't pull the front off or it'll just break off the core. Instead, maybe grip the core with pliers and push it through instead of pulling.
However - I broke it (see last photo) and it was fine, I just soldered whatever was sticking out.. The important thing is that it fits, and you can solder on the antenna cable. Do what you gotta do - if you think your connector will fit inside without touching other components, just insert it as-is
a word regarding these connectors : if you buy one and there is a pin with a hole in it floating around in the packet, you have the wrong connector. this hole in the middle is actually a female connector, not a male. Make sure it is a REVERSE SMA MALE. Also see if you can get a long one with a nut that screws onto it, because this will make it much easier for you to keep it fixed onto the case - if i had to do this again, i'd try finding something like this so i wouldn't have to stuff around as much with glue or whatever
Step 4: De-solder Antenna Cable, Reroute It to the Connector
The network card has two antennas connected. I decided to just use the lowest number connector and, to be honest i am not sure how important this is - they are identical shaped antennas and so, there is no way to discern between them. I read on a forum that you should use antenna 1 for an external antenna because then it will (something good). I cannot confirm this. However, after finishing this project i discovered that the wireless refuses to function at all unless an antenna is plugged in (probably because the circuit is then open). I'm not sure if using the second plug would solve this? try it if you want. they are actually labelled something like "J2" and "J3" - maybe J1 is earth.
there is a black wire and a white wire, they are each soldered to separate antennas (i.e, some stupid squiggle of sheet metal) at the top of the screen. Use the white wire because you'll get more slack - when you put it back together you just plug the white cable into the wifi card input you want to use.
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't connect both lines together on one antenna. I am not an expert but my thinking is that both antennas are used simultaneously to increase bandwidth - so if they were on the one antenna the signals would interfere with each other and mess everything up
Anyway... The cable consists of a core wire receiving/sending from the antenna, and an outer mesh soldered to earth. solder the core of the wire to the core of the connector - and the outer mesh to the body of the connector. Make sure they aren't touching together or anything.
I did the above before attaching the connector permanently to the case. I glued it in and stole a little washer from my wireless router, just to solder onto the outside and fix it in place (as you can see there is not enough room for the nut to go on)- this was a bit uncivilised, see if you can do a better job of it by getting a longer connector, and a nut to hold it in place
Step 5: Finishing Up
now carefully put things back together, basically doing the reverse of what you did before and making sure wires from the screen go through the hinges properly without getting jammed.
the only problem to watch out for is when you put the motherboard back - there are plastic tabs that you had to push to get it out, and when you put it back you need to push these tabs again - if you forget they are there and try pushing things in, it might just snap them. which is kind of what i did.
Plugging the keyboard back in is fiddly so try some needlenose pliers wrapped in tape so as not to damage the ribbon cable
once your netbook is back together and everything is screwed in right, plug in the antenna and see if it all works. since you took out the battery in step 1 you'll need to set up the bios again. Remember you need to enable the webcam if you use linux (well, if you need to use it).
If you didn't plug an antenna in, you'll probably notice that the wireless interface does not to want to connect to anything, and may not exist. Don't panic - After I plugged an antenna to the connector and turned it on, after that the wireless worked. Like I said, it will fail when nothing is connected, because it's an open circuit. I doubt this will cause any problems but, if this worries you just make sure there is always a small wireless antenna plugged in before you turn on the netbook. (And if you're that worried about damaging it, you probably shouldn't be doing stuff like this anyway).
(Update: I solved this by soldering a 50ohm resistor across a female connector - this can be used to terminate the connection when not using an external antenna)
I found that with a directional wireless antenna i could pick up more access points, presumably from a greater distance. I haven't tried an omnidirectional one yet, but i'm fairly sure it'll increase my range. To be honest I spend most of my time less than 5 meters from my own wireless router, so this was a fairly pointless endeavor. But as an electronic technician, I feel it's my duty to add "useless" features to any hardware i happen to find, especially when it's low hanging fruit such as this.

Nice, I like your attitude. PM'd
Whoa! that's one hefty looking antenna!
yes... although the computer itself is less than a handspan tall. you should have seen the yagi
you'll be glad to know that i since broke the connector by dropping my netbook - twice - and in the end reversed everything i did, wadding some putty into the resulting hole. its what three years old, not too bad i'm still using it as we speak
And that concludes the advanture of my netbook, huzzah!
I didn't realise i had to post this again. Curses!

Study Links Hyperhidrosis With Anxiety And Depression
Study links hyperhidrosis with anxiety and depression
A new study has revealed that sufferers of hyperhidrosis have a higher incidence rate of anxiety and depression. For those currently dealing with excess sweating, these results won't come as much of a surprise.
The condition, as well as causing huge embarrassment, can also cause sufferers to isolate themselves and avoid doing things they used to enjoy. However, experts are keen to point out that the study, published within the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology, doesn't pinpoint hyperidrosis as a cause of anxiety and depression.
Understanding the findings
The study screened sufferers of hyperhidrosis for anxiety and depression. It discovered that around 21% to 27% of those living with the condition do also suffer from mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety.
At first glance, it would suggest that treating the hyperhidrosis would in turn minimise anxiety and depression. However, this isn't necessarily the case as the study didn't look into the actual cause. It simply detected a higher prevelance rate of mental disorders in those who also suffer with hyperhidrosis. So, it could in fact be that the patients already had anxiety and depression, but the excessive sweating has exacerbated the issue.
However, the results are still useful to dermatologists as it helps them refer patients to mental health professionals when required.
Further studies will be required to establish just how linked hyperhidrosis and anxiety and depression are, but it's certainly clear from the findings that treating excesive sweating may improve the symptoms of depression and anxiety in some patients.
What treatment is available?
There are a number of treatments which have been used to treat Hyperhidrosis successfully for years. Anti-wrinkle Injections is often used as a temporary solution, with frequent treatments needed around every six months to maintain results. However, one of the most effective treatments that's fast gaining popularity is Miradry.
Miradry is an innovative treatment device which targets the sweat glands. It's FDA approved, completely safe to use and offers a great non-invasive solution with long-lasting effects.
… "Stop Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) With Miradry"…
It works by delivering electromagnetic energy straight to the underarms in a controlled manner. There, the energy destroys the sweat glands completely. It takes around an hour to an hour and a half for each session and two sessions are usually required for permenant results.
Overall, Hyperhidrosis is an embarrassing and stressful condition to live with. If you're tired of hiding away or you feel it's making your mental health worse, why not seek treatment today. It's simpler and more affordable than you might think and with Miradry, you could be enjoying a sweat-free life after just two sessions.

With Halloween right around the corner, many games are rolling out special spooky events to celebrate the holiday. Bungie revamped Destiny to feel very seasonal this year with new quest-lines, emotes, a new sparrow and fun wearable paper masks.
Destiny players create a brilliant Halloween themed video!
A group of talented Destiny players performs an incredibly bizarre Destiny Halloween music video using the in-game holiday items like special helmets, emotes and weapons. Check out the finished result in the 'Saw Something Wierd On The Moon' video made by Husky Raid. It looks like just another fan-made destiny clip until the brilliant choreography kicks in and you'll fall in love with it!
Here I'm struggling to get a group of players to stand in the right positions during a difficult strike or boss fight. And this crew manage to pull off something as spectacular as this. We're beyond impressed at the dedication and skill that these guys have put into this stunt.
Be sure to get into the festival spirit and jump on Destiny while the special Halloween event is active. There's lots of great new items to obtain and a wonderful short questline you can complete.

An analysis of WRF Event with Charles Tannock MEP, Conservative Spokesman for Foreign Affairs & Human Rights in Europe
Featured in Russian Mind Magazine
Foreign Affairs and Human Rights are topics never far from the news where Russia is concerned. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if there is some cosmic conspiracy that leads our events, organised months in advance, to accidentally land within days of some Russian-related controversy.
Thus I introduced our guest speaker, Dr Charles Tannock MEP, Conservative Spokesman in the European Parliament for Human Rights and Foreign Affairs, in the same week as the trial into the death of Sergei Magnitsky was dropped by Russian Authorities and just days after the Cypriot Finance Minister flew to Moscow seeking a bailout for his crisis-hit, sun-kissed island. Two days later, Boris Berezovsky was found dead in his Berkshire mansion. The event was also set against the backdrop of the ongoing problems in Syria, another conflict where Russia potentially has unique leverage, but finds itself on the opposite side of the fence to the American juggernaut.
In such circumstances I was looking forward to a fiery discussion, difficult questions and contentious answers. I wasn't disappointed, although I was surprised at how many questions focussed on foreign affairs rather than human rights, judging by the column inches usually devoted to the latter topic.
I was also impressed by Tannock's views on Russia. He was uncompromising in his criticism where it was deserved, but recognised the value and importance of Russia's role and clearly longed for a day when relations would be better. It was a view at odds with many commentators on Russia, who would rather put their heads in the sand hoping that when they come up for air the country will have ceased to exist, whilst praying that nobody from the FSB taps their leg with an umbrella during their exposure to the elements.
I've long thought that the Western media's prevailing view of Russia and its people is one that is extraordinarily prejudicial and discriminatory, bordering on xenophobic and even racist (in the widest sense of the word). There is no way that some things I have read and heard would be deemed acceptable if the word 'Russian' were replaced by any other nationality or group of people. The individual incidents raised in articles may well be true, but the picture their authors seek to paint is one of Reds under the Bed and shadowy men in long coats and wide brimmed hats at the end of your street. This inevitably bubbled back to the surface in the hours following the discovery of Mr Berezovsky's body. Yet clearly not all of the 35,000 Russians in the UK are spies or vodka-swilling billionaires, nor do they adhere to all the decisions made in the Kremlin. But they are still proud to be Russian, and so they should be.
The reality is that Russia is still the largest country on the planet with sixteen land borders, and holds the World's biggest reserves of mineral and energy resources. It is the UK's fastest growing export market, with clear opportunities for British businesses particularly around the forthcoming Sochi Games and World Cup. Its' history, not just in the last decade or two, but over centuries, has led to it becoming one of the major players in international politics and one whose influence extends way beyond its own realm.
Yet despite everything it has going for it, Russia can often get it wrong. Dealing with Russia is I imagine not unlike dealing with a teenage son … you'll always love them, but their foolish and reckless behaviour often disappoints you.
We of course gaze upon Russia through our Western-tinted spectacles and cast judgements upon it without considering that our values are not universal. Yet Tannock points out that if Russia wants to become a respected Western power it needs to behave like one. That includes being more responsible on the international stage and improving its internal judicial system. In many ways Russia's straddling of two continents and all the associated mixture of peoples, religions and customs which make it such a unique melting pot also causes it huge problems on the international stage, and has done for centuries. But whilst Peter the Great uncompromisingly eradicated Eastern practices to ingratiate Russia with the West, President Putin seems adamant on keeping a foot in both camps. Not unlike Britain, its desire to maintain its Great Power status also makes it many enemies.
Tannock believes Russia has shot itself in the foot over Syria – supporting a government that looks set to fall, seems to be a classic case of backing the wrong horse. He adds, nor is it in Moscow's interest to have a nuclear Iran, so why does it seem so reluctant to condemn this possibility? Its stance in the United Nations makes it appear to be constantly obstructive and, as Mitt Romney said "always standing up for the world's worst actors". Although I'd add that the UN represents 193 states and is not merely a vehicle for pursuing American foreign policy by other means. Indeed many of these states are appalled by the stance of Western nations on a variety of issues, and why shouldn't their views be represented on the Security Council? Let us not forget that they were right on Iraq. But again, Russia can't be all things to all men.
Unlike many, Tannock doesn't deny that Russia has a right to pursue its own interests, but he does believe that its short and long term goals are confused, and that it should pay more attention to the latter. One of the major problems, he argues, is Russia's zero-sum mindset which assumes that any victory for the West is automatically a defeat for Russia, and vice versa. This is a hangover from the Cold War which needs to be put aside before progress can be made.
The fact that Russia has always been a Eurasian country rather than a Western democracy, coupled with its experience of the 1990s makes it deeply suspicious of democratic systems. Tannock puts forward the rarely considered view that Putin is genuinely widely popular in Russia, and that he would likely win a free democratic election if it were allowed to happen. The fact that Putin mistrusts this and feels the need to go down another route is a shame and undermines his power and position.
The same is true for the continued rumblings of particular cases such as Litvinenko, Khordorkovsky, Pussy Riot and Magnitsky. Tannock refers to the 'selective justice' of such cases which land some people in prison – or worse – whilst others maintain their position. I've often wondered why Russia doesn't simply extradite Andrei Lugovoi and get it over with, and I didn't buy Alexei Pushkov's response when I asked him, that they didn't trust the British legal system. After all, there is a reason why so many oligarchs are in London.
Tannock was also critical of the ongoing posthumous trial of Sergei Magnitsky and is a fan of the 'Magnitsky Bill', which he argues targets the bad guys without placing all Russians in the same boat – a refreshing consideration given our habit of generalising and labelling. For what it's worth of course neither I nor any other commentators have the first clue about what happened in most of these situations, but it is braver to confess lack of knowledge than to concoct conspiracy theories to sell newspapers. That approach has led us to a situation where the death of any Russian is automatically front page news as well as an excuse to remind everyone of past misdemeanours and the books for sale about them. And in the face of such a barrage of negativity, Russia retreats back into its shell.
Like Dr Charles Tannock, I am a big fan of Russia and am not afraid to say so. But that doesn't mean being uncritical or not offering friendly advice. We both want to see a situation in the not too distant future when Russia does not make the slip ups that make supporting it troublesome. But I believe that is best achieved by open dialogue rather than demonisation. And judging by Sergei Lavrov's recent visit to London, our Government feels the same.

The Nation
With the HP Elite x3 smartphone, you've already got a desktop or laptop computer running Windows 10. This clever design makes things a lot easier for people who work on the go. Mind you, it costs Bt30,000.
The "x3" signifies the three configurations – phone, desktop and laptop – but to use it as a laptop, you need to also buy the HP Elite x3 Lap Dock, which looks like a laptop but doesn't have a CPU. It just mirrors your phone's apps and functions.
Using the Elite x3 as a desktop computer is a given, though, because the phone comes with an HP Elite x3 Desk Dock for connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse and even an Ethernet LAN cable.
The phone makes use of a fast USB-C port and the Continuum component of Windows 10 to connect to the monitor, mouse, keyboard or a mirrored laptop.
Business executives and other high rollers who want to double down on computer time without having to switch between machines need only save their work in cloud storage, since the Elite x3 has just 64 gigabytes of internal storage.
Although a microSD expansion slot is provided, it's shared with the second nano SIM. You can use it for one function or the other, not both.
As a smartphone, this is quite a powerful unit, and nice-looking in black, too. The multi-touch display is a large 5.96 inches with 2,560x1,440 pixels of resolution, protected behind anti-reflective Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
The power comes from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor running at 2.15GHz. Working memory (RAM) is a generous 4GB. For graphics, a Qualcomm Adreno 530 GPU is your able servant.
I tested the device with the Microsoft Office applications that come with Windows 10 Mobile – Word, Excel and PowerPoint – and got through my tasks quickly and smoothly, with the same speed and confidence shown for games, videos and music files.
Since the Elite x3, like most Windows 10 mobile phones, is designed for business uses, there's a no-nonsense look and feel to it. In place of attractive wallpaper and themes, you have a minimalist tile display of the apps and functions most commonly used, awaiting your tap.
Still, this "business phone" comes with multimedia apps, like Grove Music and Movies, and the sound is good too, thanks to an audio system and speakers designed by B&O Play. Two front-facing 0.6-watt stereo speakers and HP Noise Cancellation software ensure that phone conversations are easy to hear.
The 4G LTE connection is a fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi that, as I found on TrueMove H's LTE network, will download apps and back up files as if the cops were on their way. The Ookla Speedtest app measured downloads at 52.52Mbps and uploads at 14.69Mbps.
I got connected in a hurry through a Linksys EA8500 router and could fetch files from my other home computers with no problem.
Managing the dual-SIMs issue isn't difficult. I designated one SIM for data and it was automatically set to a 4G connection, while the other was ready for a 3G connection. The home screen shows tiles for using either SIM to make phone calls and send SMS, all very convenient.
The security seems pretty sound. The 2.4MP "iris camera" integrated into the front-facing camera will check the irises of your eyes before unlocking the phone, and there's a fingerprint reader at the back, below the main camera. In my test, both of these security functions worked well.
The cameras do a nice job. The main camera is 16-megapixel resolution and uses phase-detection auto-focus. It's capable of shooting Full HD video at 30 frames per second. The front-facing camera is 8MP. Both can get decent images in low light and overall produce good quality for a mobile device.
Configured as a desktop computer, the phone handily connects to a monitor, keyboard and mouse using the provided Desk Dock.
My only gripe is that the dock comes with a display port instead of the more common HDMI port. If you don't have a monitor with a display port connector, you'll have to buy a cable with a display-port connector on one side and an HDMI connector on the other.
HP's Elite x3 has a suggested retail price of Bt29,900. The Lap Dock costs Bt18,990.

"Educators today at
#edcampsc were passionate forward thinkers. These are the people bringing education forward, not the politics." By Chris Beyerle
Yesterday I attended my first edcamp (
#edcampsc) in Rock Hill and it was awesome! To me, attending a place with like-minded people is not work, it is fun, so the fact that it was a Saturday didn't faze me. So what is edcamp? The Edcamp model is a FREE educator-driven unconference format. You do not know what or who will facilitator the sessions, all you know is learning will take place and you can choose your PD sessions. Learn more about edcamp: http://edcamp.org and http://edcamp.wikispaces.com
I loved that for edcampsc two Principals LaToya Dixon and Michael Waiksnis took a risk (neither had attended an edcamp before) and organizing their first EdCamp. There was all types of educators that attended from teachers, to administrators, to Professors.
When we first came in we were sent to the cafeteria for breakfast and session sign up. Chart paper was all over the room divided into three columns, session idea, facilitator and votes. You could add sessions that you were interested in to the paper but it didn't mean you had to facilitator a session. I added Google Apps for Education, #GAFE, since that is a topic that I wanted to know more about but I didn't want to facilitate it. I also noticed that Digital Portfolios was a session but had no facilitator. I decided if no one signed up close to the time when we started voting I would do it. After all, I tell people all the time they need to take risk because that is how you learn and I need to also practice what I preach! No one signed up so right before voting, so I put my name down thinking I will watch the first few sessions and learn how this works (remember I have never been to an edcamp before).
We were given stickers to vote on which topics we wanted to narrow the sessions down. We then went to the auditorium where the keynote was being held. (During this time the edcampsc crew were working hard to determine the schedule.) The keynote was Eric Sheninger (very well-known in the Twitter world) who Skyped in for the event. He talked about making the most of the edcamp experience and explained we need to be the educators that help our schools transform into change agents.
After his keynote, the session Google Spreadsheet was revealed and the session on Digital Portfolios was not only chosen but also the first session. That meant, no time for me to learn from the other session facilitators. I went to the room and made a circle so we could collaborate better. The room started filling up fast and soon we had no more desks so people started sitting on the floor and standing all around.
The session went well. I started off the conversation by talking about what I know about Digital Portfolios (see previous post) and then it took off from there with everyone participating, sharing ideas, asking questions etc. I took a risk and I learned a lot from facilitating the session and was able to get some of my questions answered along with sparking new ideas such as, how can we make student portfolio's standardized but without hindering the creativity and we want student's to show mastery but that wont look the same, so how do we know it is true mastery from one school to the next? Great questions to have leaving a session and to continue to think and talk about.
The in-between the sessions were just as valuable because you were able to network and build your PLN. You also got to meet many of your virtual PLN face two face. Like this picture below with @cbeyerle, @TrippsGOL and @GChamplinAP (Along with so many others, too many to add to the post)
The second session I attended was Augmented Reality with Karen Ogen. This session Karen presented apps, software and ideas that you can use in the classroom. Her presentation is here, AR, filled with lots of resources.
During lunch was a great time to eat and collaborate. (I do need to give a shout out to Newks for an awesome free lunch, thank you!) During this time it was great to discuss what other schools were doing and also talk to people from my own district to discuss about how we can help the transformation of our schools.
The last session I attended was, collaboration and connecting students around the world through tech integration with Stacy Lovdahl. During this session we shared resources, discussed ways to collaborate and some of the pitfalls in global collaboration such as timezones. A backchannel was created in todays meet with all the resources that we shared, here.
It was hard to choose just one session but thankfully for social media, other session review blog posts and back channels helped me be able to 'attend' all sessions. Here are some of the resources:
Malik Richardson's Review Post
#edcampsc Google Hangout Video
Over, all I got to meet and learn from a lot of passionate educators including one of my virtual BFF Alison Reichert. Now just imagine if we did this model in the classroom! I think it would be awesome!
Thank you to everyone that made #edcampsc a success! I look forward to the next one!

Teenager Adjudicated As An Adult on Shooting Charge Gets Six Years in Prison
Sentencing continues Delaware DOJ commitment to reducing gun violence by juveniles
A teenager from Townsend will spend the next six years in prison after pleading guilty in April to charges arising from his non-fatal shooting of two other teenagers. Deputy Attorneys General Jamie McCloskey and Caterina Gatto secured a sentence of 6 years in prison, followed by probation for Brandon Pendergast, 17, for second degree assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. In September 2014, Pendergast shot two teenagers who were walking along East Lake Street in Middletown.
Other sentencings that have recently been overseen by Department of Justice prosecutors include:
Deputy Attorney General Martin O'Connor secured a prison sentence for Jayvon Lemons, 24, of Wilmington, after Lemons pled guilty to first degree robbery, drug dealing, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and violation of probation. In December 2014, Lemons was identified as a man seen on a security camera video attempting to rob a man in the 100 block of North Clayton Street in Wilmington. When officers searched Lemons's home, they found a loaded gun, ammunition, and 65 bags of heroin. Lemons was sentenced to 29 years in prison, suspended after 9 years 7 months, followed by probation.
Deputy Attorneys General Steve Wood and Zoe Plerhoples secured a prison sentence for 51-year-old Ivan Caraballo of Wilmington, for second degree murder and possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony. He was sentenced to 22 years at Level 5 suspended after 17 for probation. In May 2014, Caraballo stabbed his girlfriend, Michele Zakrzewski, to death in their home in the 900 block of Vandever Avenue.
Deputy Attorney General Abigail Layton secured a prison sentence for Purvest Allen, 40, of Wilmington for dealing in child pornography and possession of child pornography. Allen received 3 ½ years in prison followed by probation, and must register as a Tier 2 Sex Offender. In November 2014, Allen was arrested for using a file sharing program to download and share child pornography.
Deputy Attorney General Phillip Casale secured a prison sentence for Aaron Mathis, 27, of Newark for second degree attempted robbery. In September 2014, Mathis went into the TD Bank branch in the 200 block of East Delaware Avenue in Newark, and gave a teller a threatening note demanding money. Mathis was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended after six months, followed by six months at Level IV, then 18 months Level III probation.
Deputy Attorney General John Taylor secured a prison sentence for Tory Jenkins, 21, of Wilmington for carrying a concealed deadly weapon. During a traffic stop at the intersection of 4th and Jackson Streets in Wilmington in February of this year, police found Jenkins with an automatic handgun tucked in the waistband of his pants. Jenkins was sentenced to eight years at Level V, suspended for six months at Level IV.
Deputy Attorney General Cari Chapman secured a sentence for 40-year-old Raynardos Shockley, of New Castle. Shockley pled guilty to two counts of reckless endangering, and one count of endangering the welfare of a child in connection with abuse of his son in September 2014. Shockley was sentenced to 11 years in prison, suspended after 18 months. He will serve six months in Level IV work release, then one year on Level III probation.
Convictions and guilty pleas were obtained by Department of Justice prosecutors in the following cases:
Deputy Attorneys General Allison Abessinio and Caterina Gatto secured a conviction against Djavon Holland, 28, of Fort Washington, Maryland. In April 2014, Holland kicked in the door of a unit at the Hampton Walk Apartments in New Castle, and shot two of the people inside. Holland was convicted on one count of home invasion, two counts of first degree attempted robbery, one count of second degree assault, four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and one count of criminal mischief. Holland faces a 24-year minimum mandatory sentence.
Deputy Attorney General Tim Maguire won a guilty verdict against Sabri Caulk, 30, of Wilmington, for drug dealing and possession of a firearm by a person prohibited. During an administrative search of Caulk's home in January 2015, officers from Wilmington Police and the State Probation and Parole Office found a gun, various rounds of ammunition, heroin that was packaged for sale, a bulletproof vest, and drug money. Caulk had been on Level III probation. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison on the gun charge, and 8 years in prison, suspended for 6 months at Level IV, followed by 18 months at Level III probation.
Deputy Attorney General Michael DegliObizzi secured a plea from Alphonso Lancaster, 51, of Wilmington, for first degree robbery. In January, Lancaster robbed the M&T Bank branch in the 1000 block of North Market Street in Wilmington. He told a teller that he had a bomb, and demanded money.
Deputy Attorney General Dan McBride secured guilty pleas for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and felony assault from 26-year-old Ernest Clark of Wilmington. In November 2014, Clark ran from police answering a call about a man with a gun in the area of 6th and Madison Streets in Wilmington. While running from police, Clark tried to throw a gun onto the roof of a building, but the gun fell and hit a Wilmington Police Officer on the head.
Deputy Attorneys General Jim Kriner and Julie Finocchiaro secured guilty plea from 25-year-old Fernando Flores of Bear, for second degree murder. In October 2014, Flores assaulted his girlfriend, Paola Delgado Polanco, who was 24-weeks pregnant, resulting in her death. Flores faces 15 years to life in prison when sentenced.
Deputy Attorney General Diana Dunn secured guilty pleas to first degree robbery, and endangering the welfare of a child, from Amanda Paoletti, 30, of Wilmington. In January of this year, Paoletti demanded money from, and threatened to shoot the clerk, at the Wawa in the 700 block of Philadelphia Pike in Wilmington. Paoletti left the store and got into a taxi where her young daughter was waiting. She is facing a three year minimum mandatory sentence. At the time of sentencing, the state has agreed to not ask for more than 12 years, with defense agreeing to not ask for less than 8 years.
Deputy Abigail Layton secured a guilty plea from Michael Motto, 22, of Sewell, New Jersey, for sexual solicitation of a child, and possession of child pornography. In November 2014, Motto traveled to Delaware while in possession of child pornography, believing he was meting a 14-year-old boy for sex. Motto had been communicating with an undercover officer.
Deputy Attorney General Jan van Amerongen secured a plea from James Lawhorn, 51, of Dover, for sex offender unlawful sexual conduct against a child, and first degree unlawful sexual contact. In August 2014, Lawhorn, a registered sex offender, raped a nine-year-old in the parking lot of Delaware Park, after driving the girl's mother to the casino. Lawhorn faces a minimum 25 years up to life, plus 8 years, when sentenced in December.

Originally developed for tracking vehicle parts during assembly in Japan, Quick Response codes are two dimensional barcodes with many applications. Denso Wave first pioneered them in 1994, but after the iPhone release in 2006 they found a new purpose. Simply scanning with a smartphone allows access to all kinds of content. In the last few years QR has become a buzzword; marketers were told that they were vital to bridging the physical and digital worlds. This led to many companies using QR codes just for the sake of it, not providing any value to the customers or the companies themselves. QR's reputation was damaged, perhaps irrevocably, with many media sources declaring them dead.
Several difficulties with the platform prevented it from exploding. A scanning app is required, and smartphones have not come with a one pre-installed. Many marketers do not like using them because they find they ruin a beautiful image, or don't fit the overall theme of their products. Unquestionably though, the worst problems have come from poor usage. QR codes leading you to desktop sites when you're on mobile, codes printed where you cannot scan them, codes on desktop sites where a hyperlink will do and printing codes at poor quality so the apps can't even read them. The list goes on. Websites exist just with examples of rubbish QR campaigns and there is a book called "QR codes kill kittens." This has blown a hole in the high-tech reputation the brand once had.
With an innovative approach, QR based marketing can be fantastic. Tesco used QR codes in South Korea to boost their online sales. Posters of shelves of goods were put up in subways, allowing people to scan what they wanted with their phones. When they got home, the food would be delivered. This provides value by allowing previously wasted time to become productive, and customers responded; Homeplus, Tesco's South Korean arm, became the number one online food retailer. Verizon, meanwhile, used QR codes in store to enter customers into a competition; when someone scanned a QR code it would share a Verizon advert on Facebook. If someone clicked on the ad and bought a Verizon phone the original customer would get a free smartphone. Customers benefited by potentially winning a phone, and Verizon gained highly visible marketing spots on Facebook. The campaign cost $1,000 and brought in $35,000 in increased sales, huge value for money. One of the greatest advantages of QR codes is that they can be printed on mass produced items, and companies like Heinz have used this effectively, whereas other technologies may need chips to be included, or beacons placed nearby.
There is now competition in this sector however, with technologies like Automatic Content Recognition (ACR). While still needing work to make it quicker and more accurate, ACR would allow you to just point your phone at an item and receive content. No codes would need to be printed at all, and software updates to the reader app would allow a company to optimise its campaign without altering the product itself. Then again, items would have to have a sign somewhere though telling people to scan it unless they expect you to just walk around scanning everything. Is this any better than having a QR code printed?
QR codes can also be used for mobile payments, and are currently leading this area. According to Statista, 45% of mobile payment users have presented a barcode/QR code and 29% have scanned a barcode/QR code to pay for goods or services. This compares to 37% for NFC (Near Field Communication) and even lower for other methods. QR-based systems have been supported by all sorts of companies including PayPal and Barclays. A new system called CurrentC made by MCX, a group of some of the U.S's biggest retailers like Walmart and Best Buy, is being rolled out at the moment and could lead to further growth. NFC payment is the rival technology which so far has struggled to ignite, but Apple Pay will be the strongest system using it. A standoff between retailers supporting QR code payment and those supporting NFC payment is forming. Apple Pay likely has more end user support than systems like CurrentC, but merchants want to use a system without credit card fees like their own provides. The cost of installing NFC equipment is also high and so are running costs; Best Buy stopped using it in 2011 because it was too expensive. On the other hand, Apple Pay has strong support from credit card companies formed from long negotiations and offering them a good deal. These companies are pushing retailers to upgrade payment terminals in the U.S already, and many merchants may be convinced to adopt NFC in the process. Everyone wants using their technology to become a habit and part of everyday life, and right now it is very difficult to call the end result. However, if enough of the iPhone 6 users adopt Apple Pay then the combination of pressure from consumers and the credit card companies will likely convince the rest of the retailers.
QR codes had fantastic potential, but poor use has prevented them from reaching this. With new technologies arriving which are superior, or just more fashionable, it is hard to see the use of QR codes not declining in a couple of years. Their use in payment systems will probably increase before NFC gains full support, and then sharply decline. Their use in marketing is harder to predict but will likely persist longer. ACR needs to be more reliable than it is right now, and with more innovative QR code usage marketers will feel less need to move to another technology. QR codes are not dead like some claim, and they will not die soon, but certainly their time in the sun is up.

Race specific sessions
Training, September 01, 2018
The last 4-8 weeks before a race is where athletes need specific sessions to dial in the pace they hope to be able to handle. Doing these sessions too early in the programme can lead to poor progressions and a lack of joy.
Having focus in your training, and following a plan that blends in with your lifestyle is essential if you want to work towards racing goals in the short term. More importantly it then allows consistency to continue to build on fitness and strength.
Very often athletes can undermine progress before an important race by training the wrong energy system in the weeks before the event. The final 4-8 weeks (depending on importance of the race) is important for dialing in the plan with sessions that ready the body and mind for the event.
Lets unpack the term "specificity". All training when done correctly promotes "adaptation". Your system (body and mind) will adapt to the demands you place on it as long as you allow the required rest to allow absorption in the long term. As an example in the base phase as you progress your time running you will increase your cardiovascular efficiency (heart pumping blood to working muscles, and the mitochondria (aerobic power station) within the cells increase in number. While all types of running will improve your running, and kettle-bell exercises will increase full body strength with better synchronicity (allowing improved form at the back end of a run), running at your specific PACE and over similar TERRAIN as the race day will produce better results. Race specific sessions means meeting the demands of the race distance by applying the best possible workouts to get you ready for race day.
The last few weeks before a race should include several sessions running at or just faster than race pace with short rest periods in-between. This is in contrast to much faster efforts with larger rest periods earlier in the training programme (these short hill reps or speed play sessions are great for boosting VO2 max and improving form maintenance). Before embarking on the race specific sessions you have to have a great base to launch from. This is developed through some slow miles (I call it LSD - long slow distance work), body weight exercises, cross training (swimming, cycling), yoga, and some short sharp work to boost VO2 and get used to discomfort. All these components go into developing the platform to really get the most of the finishing touches with the race specific sessions.
The race specific phase will start from 4-8 weeks out depending on the importance of the race, your athletic history, and how the individual athlete has handled the base, and pre race specific phase. In the race specific phase by training more at the "race pace" and not doing as much long slow or short sharp then you can lose overall general running fitness as you get better at just one particular distance.
Every distance has it's own special demands, and when planning the sessions in the final weeks it's crucial to progress to harder and more specific workouts. This is accomplished by making the intervals longer and/or the rest intervals shorter. For example for a marathon I sometimes use a 10km and 5km at race pace then a few weeks later this will become more challenging with 2 x 10km at race pace (the interval is the same at 5min EASY jog).
Examples of sessions
5km - Starting with 10 x 400m (if have access to a track) or 80-90sec at slightly faster than race pace with 100m EASY jog inbetween, then working up to 6 x 800m or 2:50-3:10min
10km - Starting at 6 x 1km at 10km pace with 60sec slow jog inbetween working up to 4 x 2km at 10km pace with 2min EASY jog inbetween.
Half Marathon - Starting with 2 x 5km at slightly faster (2-5sec per km) with 5min EASY jog inbetween, working up to 3 x 5km at race pace with 3min EASY inbetween. The half is a real test of you to clear lactate while running close or above your AT (anaerobic/lactate threshold).
Marathon - My favourite session for the marathon is 2 x 10km at a little quicker than race pace (6sec and up to 10sec (for experienced athletes) per km) with 7min EASY jog inbetween. This session makes you run at your threshold for around 20km which helps with utilising fat as a fuel, gets you used to running on tired legs, and is a simulation of the stiff, cramping leg feeling when you start the 2nd 10km after the 7min rest.
Trail - Just getting time on feet in specific terrain with your race kit, and getting used to fueling. Sometimes I like to have a little tempo towards the end of these runs to show that you can always go a little faster :) Working up to a race I work on aspects that need to be improved. This depends on the individual athlete and the nature of the event. For example short steep climbs, foot - eye co-ordination work, Longer tempo climbs, rock jumping, and FULL body strength.

Nice Guys End Up in Court
- Feb 7, 2019
- Discrimination
- Dennis J. Merley
Hall of Fame Baseball Manager Leo Durocher was quoted as saying "Nice Guys Finish Last." Based on a recent federal court decision in Michigan, the Human Resources corollary to this might be "Nice Guys End Up in Court."
Karl Sicuso, age 60, was hired as a cook and kitchen worker at the Carrington Golf Club. When he was fired just two months later, Sicuso met with the owner, Gary Jonas, to find out more about why he was let go.
Nice Isn't Always Nice
Sicuso secretly taped the entire conversation and it did not go well for Jonas. He spent the majority of the meeting explaining to Sicuso that he just did not fit in with the other staff members. Some of the more noteworthy exchanges were as follows:
Jonas: When you first came here, before we even hired you, I said that the problem is it's a young bunch of people and you're an older guy. Sometimes that don't work.
Sicuso: So basically, the age…
Jonas: It's a generational difference
* * * *
Sicuso: So you think its probably the age difference
Jonas: I think that's probably a big part of it, from day one.
* * * *
Sicuso: Because of the young kids, it's hard for older people to click together. They don't like to see older people maybe in there or something.
Jonas: Yeah. Plus, I think, innately, younger people want to respect older people. They want to. They're not any good at it, but they want to respect them. Then they have a person come in there and they feel like, well, I gotta respect this person. I can't be myself with this person. And I think that where the — it's not a big deal, but if that chemistry ain't right as a group, I got a problem.
Jonas later explained that he was just trying to let Sicuso down easy and make him feel better about getting fired. Not surprisingly, the attempt at a soft landing just landed Jonas in court as Sicuso filed a lawsuit alleging age discrimination. The judge rejected the employer's motion to dismiss the case and the matter is headed for a jury trial.
Bottom Line
While Jonas's heart was in the right place, his brain should have gotten there first. It is never easy to get fired and there is little that an employer can do to change that reality. Instead of looking for false reasons to cushion the blow, an employer can show true kindness by being respectful toward to the employee while offering direct and truthful communication about the termination decision.
After all, will an employee really feel better about getting fired by hearing that the decision is based on a legally protected characteristic?

So jump on the website and download iTunes 10 right now. If it shows iTunes 9, then refresh the page and it will show iTunes 10. Weird right? This only appears to be an issue when downloading it for Mac OS X. The Windows page still only shows iTunes 9.2.1
If that doesn't work.. I've included the link below. It downloaded and installed fine for me!

Sheffield United FC
GLOBALGAMESSPORTS were asked by this client to launch a club unity message into the crowd as a 'thank the fans' promotion towards the end of 2009. They requested the promotion was activated pre-match and at half-time to really help the club say thank-you to its fans for their loyal support.
The client outlined the following requirements that needed to be met through the activation of this promotion:
To provide the client with our Master Blaster promotion pre-match and at half-time. This exciting piece of kit is always well received with-in stadia all over Europe, and it didn't let the fans down this time either!
The GGS Ops team liaised with the client prior to the event ensuring all health and safety aspects were met. Health and Safety documentation were cleared by the client's stadium management a week prior to the activation of the event.
Our event crew arrived on-site 4 hours prior to the first launch in order to carry out test shots, plan their route around the pitch and answer any last minute questions the stadium team had. During the promotion our team teamed up with the client's PA announcer to help create a really exciting and adrenalin filled atmosphere.
We have a strong core of operators here at GGS to ensure that the promotion has the biggest impact, whilst also ensur- ing the promotion runs efficiently and safely.
The event was a huge success which gave the client's fan base something different to shout about when the teams were not on the pitch! Lucky fans were able to wear their t-shirts at the match and take them home which ensured complete brand exposure for our client.

The plot of these two installments revolves around the human and sex trafficking industry in Sweden, a certain unpleasant Russian GRU defector, called Alexander Zalachenko, and the murder of three individuals with connections to the Lisbeth Salander character.
Salander's name and photo appear in newspapers all over Sweden – and not for her greater glory. Evidence places her at the scenes of three killings, and the gun used in two of them bears her fingerprints. The accompanying news stories portray her as an eccentric loner if not a dangerous S&M Satanistic lesbian nutter. She is forced to disguise and change apartments; her old colleague and lover, Mikael Blomkvist, seems to be the only person convinced of her innocence. However, given his tendency to fool around with other women, furious Lisbeth refuses to have anything to do with him. Strangely enough Blomkvist can't understand why Salander avoids him and of course, very chivalrlously, decides to defend her from the whole world.
While looking into the crimes for which she is wanted, Salander again demonstrates her computer-hacking skills but it doesn't mean the baddies won't get to her. In the last part she lands in the hospital with one big hole in her hip and head. Blomkvist continues to sleuth on her behalf in order to expose those who have made her life hellish and attempted to frame her for all manner of crimes. Of course, in his spare time he also still manages to attract every woman within a 500-yard-radius like honey attracts bees. Finally a process takes place and Lisbeth is independent and free. Will she know what to do with her freedom and riches though?
What I liked:
There were no ugly sex scenes and definitely less violence than in the first part. Well done.
What I didn't like:
Here I can spread my red-black wings. Ok, a quick check of other equipment. Horns? Ready. Claws? Sharp and long. Tail? Firmly attached and switching from side to side. Do you scent brimstone? Good. Let me begin.
First the characters. I admit it – in my humble opinion it was a mess. I did not really like them or empathize with any of them. Blomkvist, an intrepid journalist who takes down the entire Swedish government bagging one hot smart woman after another hot smart woman and never ever buying a single packet of condoms, let alone thinking about the psychological consequences of his behaviour ? Ugh. The guy gets around, and then some but why? I've always found Mikael a pretty vanilla character. His partners don't solve the mystery of his popularity either. Is he especially well endowed or skilled? Protective, understanding and tender? Physically strong? Muscled? Intelligent? No, no and no. He is a guy without any distinguishable traits of character, which only emphasizes his unhealthy attitude towards carnal pleasures, yet the author wants us to believe that he is simply irresistible because…let's assume he is so, full stop. Tsk, tsk.
Ok, wait, who is next? Niedermann, the 'murderous terminator from hell' who doesn't feel pain? Sigh. Done to death already, herr Larsson. Erika Berger, a sexy journalist who helps to take down the entire Swedish government while bagging smart men, sometimes two at a time or more (you know she really should wear that t-shirt with a caption "so many boys, so little time")? How much eye-rolling you can accept in a series?
Now a word or two about Lisbeth Salander, for many readers, as far as I know, the highlight of these books.
By making Salander a mathematical genius whose equivalent of a crossword with her morning coffee is tackling the famous Fermat's Last Theorem, Larsson went truly over the top. Even geniuses need some serious tutoring to develop their abilities and they can't find them in the popular science books with answers in the back. What's more, Lisbeth routinely hacks into major corporations for which she has worked with the aid of ancient passwords. Excuse me? I can't believe Swedish businessmen, security and IT specialists are just a bunch of ninnies. This tactic is the cardinal sin of all three books – the author is constantly underestimating his readers. Mathematicians and computer scientists are recommended to steer clear of the whole trilogy, psychologists too. If she was able to mature a bit and shape up I'd like to see a Lisbeth Salander-like heroine of a graphic novel where she fights vampires; I'd even like a sexy Lisbeth Salander action figure, complete with zombie makeup, leather pants, a bloody whip and a fancy laptop bag. Of course in real life, such a person would never exist but at least I would understand why.
A second source of my disappointment stems from the fact that these two books are filled with simply too many secondary characters that either had little importance to the story or were cartoon-like. Larsson keeps them all black and white. Funnily enough those who are bad, are always men – evil, corrupt, perverse or plain incompetent. It seems that Sweden is full of deviant male types. Those who are good are mainly women and somehow they didn't persuade me either. Women can be as mean as any man (well, look at my review if you need a proof) and in this series, with the exception of Harriet's mother in the first part, The Dragon Tattoo, it seems that every other female character is just simply wonderful. None of them are ever greedy, mendacious or spiteful, just misunderstood or a bit lewd at worst. Isn't it sexism?
One more issue which I must tackle here in order to be perfectly honest. I wouldn't like to sound overly prudish but generally speaking sex is treated as a purely physiological function here. It's not even because the scenes are very detailed, far from it. It's because they are as shallow as a puddle. I deeply disagree with such an approach. Let me illustrate what I mean with two examples. Exhibit one: a married woman (Erika Berger) has an affair with our irresistible Mikael, breaks up his marriage and then continues the affair with her husband's knowledge and blessing, virtually destroying any chances of her lover for any healthy relationship. No pangs of conscience from any of the sides involved. The same woman has previously had group sex, filmed it and kept the video near her bed. What for? To turn on her hubby? To make the blackmail work for any possible creep or stalker easier? Exhibit two: our dear Lisbeth Salander is not only sexually omnivorous and proud of it but also treats sex like nothing more than a visit to the toilet – if you must go there, you should do it when the opportunity knocks, preferably without paying much. Disgusting and as far from reality as you can get.
Now the plot. To me, the plot did not at all move along at the same pace as the first book. Mind you I didn't like the first book. In addition, I managed to find a number of somewhat annoying grammatical errors, sentence fragments, etc. Mind you, I am not a native English speaker. There are entire sections of the books that meander on and on with no apparent purpose with regard to moving the story forward. Frankly, the whole "Erika at the big newspaper" subplot was unnecessary – one of these sections which would have benefited greatly from some serious editorial paring.
I did not enjoy these books. They made me bored for starters, leaving bad taste in my mouth. Add to it the fact that there was little or no humor in them and here we have a total book failure – I should have given up, but being stubborn, I wanted to finish them against my better judgment. I found the ending really dismal, empty and unpleasant. It served me right. Curiosity can kill not only a cat but also your reading experience.

These categories are identical to those used in Pew Research Center's 2014 examination of online harassment. They are designed to capture a broad range of experiences – not just severe forms of abuse, but also everyday forms of harassment that users might overlook.. A new,nationally representative Pew Research Center survey of 4,248 U.S. adults finds that 41% of Americans have been personally subjected to harassing behavior online, and an even larger share (66%) has witnessed these behaviors directed at others. In some cases, these experiences are limited to behaviors that can be ignored or shrugged off as a nuisance of online life, such as offensive name-calling or efforts to embarrass someone. But nearly one-in-five Americans (18%) have been subjected to particularly severe forms of harassment online, such as physical threats, harassment over a sustained period, sexual harassment or stalking…"

The Sequoyah nuclear power plant in Tennessee reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that a small explosion had taken place in the electrical switchyard on Sunday morning. The plant declared a site emergency and issued a Notice of Unusual Event.
An investigation revealed damage to an insulator between a Protective Circuit Breaker and a Motor Operated Disconnect. Technicians also found that a transformer was leaking oil. Additionally, when operators attempted to reopen the Motor Operated Disconnects, they found that one of the units would not open on demand.
As a result of the incident, the Unit 1 reactor had a Condensor Circulating Water pump trip. Plant personnel restored the pump following the event.
As a result of the explosion, operators determined that one offsite power source was inoperable. The second source of offsite power continued to function.
A little less than two hours into the event, operators determined that repairs to the faulty circuit had been completed, and Sequoyah terminated the Notice of Unusual Event.
The significance of this event is that Sequoyah has a single switchyard that provides offsite power to the plant's emergency systems. If the explosion in the switchyard had been a little more severe, the plant could have lost all offsite power. Such an incident occurred at the Surrey nuclear power plant in Virginia last April, when a tornado hit the switchyard and knocked out all offsite power. When offsite power is lost, a nuclear plant is forced to rely on emergency diesel generators to maintain control of cooling systems, which must remain in operation at all times.
The worst loss of offsite power accident was the disaster at Fukushima last March, when an earthquake and tsunami knocked out the plant's offsite power, leading to the meltdown of three reactors.
(I'd like to welcome several new readers to this list, and apologize for the NukeSpeak in today's report. If anyone ever has questions about items on this list, please feel free to contact me, and I'll see if I can answer them. Additionally, I wanted to remind everybody that you can read Event Reports daily at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's website at www.nrc.gov.)

Lyapko needle applicator
The needle applicator consists of many small metal needles (silver, zinc, copper, nickel and iron). Their use allows for reflex-mechanical interaction and the formation of galvanic current at the ends of the needles, which is transmitted to the skin. It stimulates the body to produce natural accelerating substances.
In the following video, on the example of one of our patients from the Physiotherapist Center, we show what are the differences in the use of individual multi-needle applicators in therapy:
Other applications are:
– pain in muscles, joints, spine, head;
– decubitus (prevents formation);
– massage;
– acupuncture;
– manual therapy;
– laser therapy;
– magnetic resonance imaging;
– menstrual disorders;
– shortens the recovery time after fractures, strokes, operations, injuries of various kinds;
– supporting treatment of cerebral palsy;
– hormonal disorders (normalizes);
– problems of metabolic processes;
– support for treatment and prophylaxis in disorders of the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems;
– sleep disorder (normalizes);
– metabolic disorders (regulates the work of the system);
– cellulite.
Needle roller – construction
– composition of needles: silver, copper, zinc, iron, nickel;
– gum: medical.
Parameters of multi-needle applicators:
1. Small needle roller:
