|"Hey, we have a universe with a cool flying device, what should we make the plot?" "HIGH SCHOOL ANIME"
In some unspecified year (although presumably in the future), advances in technology have led to the creation of almost magical anti-gravity shoes. Our protagonist, Asuka, is a high school girl who has just moved to an island where these shoes are in common use. Through the help of fellow classmates, Masaya (a boy with a supposedly "tragic past"tm) and Misaki (a girl with significant mood swings explained away by "low blood pressure"), Asuka learns to fly using her shoes for the first time.
|Look at that character diversity! Angsty male character; ditzy heroine; sleepy girl; the lesbian; and bland nice girl. Yep, the gang's all here!
One day while walking home, Asuka overhears the aftermath of a "Flying Circus" game by Reika, a girl from a rival school. Asuka then challenges Reika to a Flying Circus match, for reasons that are too long and dumb for me to want to really explain here. Anyway, the aim of the game is to score points by either touching a couple of airborne buoys or by touching your opponent's back. Because Asuka is a beginner user of the grav-shoes, Reika lowers the conditions for winning. Asuka just has to score one point to win. Will Asuka be able to win?
Spoilers: Of freaking course Asuka ends up winning, because this is an anime.
|Am I really supposed to suspend my disbelief enough to accept this…
My Opinion:
I am sorry, but I have seen so many of these types of anime in my life by now that I have a knee-jerk reaction to be incredibly cautious and cynical about these types of shows. And indeed my predictions were correct—this anime ended up being extremely generic and extremely "anime."
We have yet another anime that refuses to characterize its characters beyond easily identifiable "quirks" and doesn't seem to know how real human beings act. Also, we have an amazing device (the grav-shoes) and all they're used for is… a game. Okay. Also, we have randomly thrown in fanservice. I intensely dislike the "guy walks in on girl changing" trope because it seems like anime cannot seem to figure out how to introduce a new character in an interesting way AND also that it seems like this is a trope that just won't die. However, I'm even angrier at this anime because it used the trope in the STUPIDEST way. This time, the main male dude Masaya doesn't actually walk in on a girl changing—he walks into his room, looks through his window, and sees a girl changing… in front of her goddamn open window across the street. Now this is the reason why we don't change in front of our goddamn windows. What's worse is that this girl does not even show up for the rest of this episode. I'm sure she'll show up in the next but damn was that a colossal waste of everyone's time.
Just when you thought this anime couldn't get anymore anime, we have Asuka challenging an advanced player to a game she's never heard of until now. Because that is something that normal people would do. And of course, she wins, through the power of
bullshit wanting to win really hard! That's not how that works either, but okay anime!
The only "good" thing about this anime is that it stars Asuka as the protagonist. This series is based on a visual novel with Masaya as the player character, so I think it was a pretty good idea to have Asuka (presumably the main girl) be the protag instead. It's probably the only original idea out of this massively clichéd anime.
Overall, decent animation, but the plot is bland. It's basically every high school anime you've seen before, except with anti-gravity shoes. Also it infuriates me that a school that allows students to fly still makes the female students wear short skirts as the school uniform. …Anime!
Out of five:
I hate this

Ferrari have announced four simulator drivers for 2019; they will include Pascal Wehrlein & Brendon Hartley.
Former Toro Rosso racing driver Brendon Hartley has been announced as one of Ferrari's simulator drivers for 2019. Having been ditched by Red Bull just after the season finale in Abu Dhabi, the popular Kiwi driver had been left scrabbling to find alternative work for this year but rumours linking him to a Ferrari role began almost immediately.
Ferrari announced him as one of four drivers they have picked up to work in their simulator throughout the season; this role is crucial for helping with behind the scenes development of the car and was a role carried out prominently by Antonio Giovinazzi & Daniil Kvyat throughout 2018.
Alongside Hartley will be former Mercedes reserve and affiliated driver Pascal Wehrlein. Having cut his ties with the German marque at the end of last season, Wehrlein has since joined Formula E and is racing with Mahindra where he finished P2 in the most recent round in San Diego.
Antonio Fuoco stays with the Ferrari camp for another year – the Italian driver has been part of the Ferrari Driver Academy for five years now and is coming off the back of a year's racing in Formula 2.
Another long-term Ferrari veteran is Davide Rigon, who is kept on for another year since joining the Scuderia in 2014 – he also drives for AF Corse Ferrari in the World Endurance Championship.
New team boss Mattia Binotto says the four drivers signed up will be critical components behind the scenes of what could be a very tough championship campaign: "Our team has taken on four undoubtedly talented drivers, who possess innate feeling, with a strong understanding of race cars and tracks. These are exactly the qualities required in the skilful role of driving in a simulator, one of the vital pieces of equipment in the Formula 1 of today".

Niceville High School's Ally Woodard Can Add "Published Author" to Her List of Accomplishments
By Heather Osbourne | 315-4440 | @heatheronwfdn | email@example.com
Original article can be found here: http://www.nwfdailynews.com/news/20171207/inspired-by-mama-lupita
SANDESTIN — One Niceville High School student can add "published author" to her list of accomplishments, along with gaining 135 siblings along the way.
The 17-year-old's journey began in 2012 with a woman called Mama Lupita and a pair of painted shoes.
Ally Woodard sat in her home in Sandestin late last month flipping through the pages of her self-published children's book, "Mama Lupita's Happy Orphanage."
Although it begins with "Once upon a time … ," Woodard's book is not a fairy tale, but inspired by the orphanage Casa Hogar Elim in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
"Going to Casa Hogar really changed me as a person and the course of action my life was headed," Woodard said. "I have just been really motivated to finding something I can do to help them. I think storytelling in any facet of life is very powerful. It would have been a crime to deprive people, especially children, of knowing Mama Lupita's story."
Woodard first visited the orphanage in 2012 while delivering hand-painted shoes through Art Miles Shoes of Hope. The only child now visits the orphanage twice a year to help Mama Lupita care for the children she refers to as her "siblings."
The storybook is based off of the life of Mama Lupita, who founded Casa Hogar in 1986 at the age of 29. At the time, Mama Lupita had four biological children. She opened her home to four more children who had been abandoned and, according to Woodard, that's how the orphanage was born.
Since then, Mama Lupita has cared for more than 3,000 children, Woodard said. The book describes the heroine's struggles and triumphs, from trusting God to feed the children to the beauty of the children caring for the others with special needs.
"It's just a special place for children," Woodard said. "There are kids who come from all walks of life. There are some who have parents who just can't take care of them and others whose parents have been killed by the drug wars. It's a very diverse group.
"They all have one thing in common, though: They are so happy to be there. The reason why is because of Mama Lupita."
The book's illustrations by Rock Barcellos were inspired by Woodard's photographs of Casa Hogar Elim, the children and Mama Lupita. The back of the book holds the real photographs of the orphanage.
Woodard, who wrote the story in Spanish and English, plans to donate all book earnings to Mama Lupita and Casa Hogar Elim. It's her dream for the storybook to eventually help support the orphanage.
"I love writing," Woodard said. "I think being a published author is a lot of people's dream, and it's definitely my dream. But when I can be a published author while also helping people and helping my Mexican family, that makes it even more special."
"Mama Lupita's Happy Orphanage" can be purchased online at Amazon.com or barneandnoble.com.
If you would like to contact Ally Woodard, she can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Google said the new data centre is being built to meet the quickly growing online demand across Asia, according to Associated Press.
The Taiwan site is estimated to be $300m bringing the total of building the three sites in Asia to $700m.
It will have a full time staff of 25 employees with part time and contracting positions likely to be made as well, the company said.

Chris Kamara is a retired English football player and manager, who was born in 1957. Known as Kammy, he played as defender and midfielder during his twenty year career. Born to a father of Sierra Leonian roots, he played for a number of different teams including the 1992 Championship winning side Leeds United; probably the highlight of his playing career! In recent years he has worked as a football pundit and commentator; and his fun loving approach has made him popular with viewers.
Chris Kamara Player Career
Born in Middlesbrough, Chris Kamara had a reputation for being a bit of a hard man; due to his strong tackles. However his enthusiasm for the game and commitment, earned himself an army of fans and cult status. After a brief spell in the Royal Navy, he began his senior career at Portsmouth in 1975. This was the start of a long and successful football career and he stayed with the club for two years.
Keep On Moving
Never spending long at one particular club, he spent the following years at Swindon Town (this was followed by a brief return to Portsmouth); Brentford, Swindon Town once again and then Stoke City. In 1990 Chris signed for Leeds United; where he was part of the side that won the Championship in 1992, under Howard Wilkinson's management.
He has also played for Luton Town, Sheffield United and Bradford City. He played more than 700 games, before hanging up his boots and retiring from professional football.
Chris Kamara Manager
Chris Kamara has spent short spells as manager for both; Stoke City and Bradford City. During his short time as manager at Bradford City, he was instrumental in seeing them promoted to the First Division; in 1996, after beating Notts County in the play off final. This was undoubtedly one of the greatest moments in the club's history; and as a result he is held in high regard at Valley Parade.
Chris Post Football

Business SMS Marketing is used by businesses as a channel or medium to promote their products and services directly to users. It is quite similar to email marketing, through which a business sends out frequent emails about product updates, discounts etc. to their subscribed users. Business SMS marketing, however, has become more common nowadays due to the various advantages it has over email marketing.
Business SMS Marketing is the most effective form of marketing. Unlike any other channel, it is the most direct and time-saving method. With consumers checking their phones on an average of 47 times a day (according to Mobilexco), it is hard to miss out on a text. Moreover, according to Business2community.com, text messages have an open rate of 98% whereas emails only have a 20% open rate. This reason as well as the fact that almost half of emails sent are spam, the higher response rate of SMS (about 45%) as opposed to the almost non-existent 6% response rate of emails can be explained. With the increasing use of smartphones over the years, business SMS marketing is a more personal approach where users feel more comfortable to respond as well as read the text. There are 4.92 billion mobile users around the world, so this method of marketing is bound to increase a customer base.
Looking at the financial aspect of SMS marketing, the minimal costs are in favor of businesses. Issuing a keyword for an SMS marketing campaign costs roughly about $5-$25, depending on which country the service is being provided. A single text itself costs $0.01-$0.05 which means that companies can easily send out mass scale texts at minimum costs. The average cost of sending 10,000 texts would be just $250. This means that even small companies who do not have heavy financial resources backing them can also avail this service and reap the benefits.
Lastly, business SMS marketing is not just limited to sending out a mass text to multiple users simultaneously. With rapidly evolving technology, there are so many added features that companies can use when sending out promotional text messages. A strategy to make texts more personalized is to add each user's name in each text. This feature is also available in email marketing, but due to the reasons listed above email marketing will soon become outdated with SMS taking its place. Secondly, as of recently, companies can add a hyperlink in a text message as well. Due to the 160 character limit (which is the case in some countries and on some platforms), it can be difficult to add all necessary information in the text so a link is perfect for those who want to view details about the product or offer being promoted. This way neither is the text too long and monotonous to read nor is it too short to comprehend.
The bottom line is, business SMS is a good investment to make, and when used properly, can be very beneficial.

RUNNERS and their four-legged friends can take part in a dog walk with a difference.
Southampton Dog Jog will be returning to the city for people to get fit and have fun with their beloved pet.
The event is a fun 5k jogging event for canines and their owners.
It takes place from 2pm on the Common on August 18 and is a non-competitive event that lets pooches and their human companions get together en masse.
Staff and residents from Southampton's first entirely pet-friendly apartment community are lacing up their trainers to take part in the unusual event.
Residents and staff from Bow Square are taking part to shine a light on how having a pet can build bonds across Southampton.
Community director Adam Dale, who is taking part as his alter ego 'tutu man', said: "We've seen first-hand here at Bow Square how having a pet can bring people together.
"Being a completely pet-friendly building, we've seen residents establish friendships over their common love of dogs."
Bow Square team member Cody Topley, who owns a chihuahua, added: "Sometimes dogs can be a real ice-breaker in helping neighbours start a conversation and getting to know each other."
Bow Square is an apartment community that is entirely pet friendly, meaning every single apartment is available for renters to live with their cats or dogs.
Dog Jog is an event held all over the UK for humans and their dogs to either raise money for a cause or simply just to get fit.
At the finish line runners will receive a fantastic Doggy Bag jam-packed with goodies for both you and your four-legged friend, as well as Dog Jog collar keyring medal.
The event is held in 20 different locations across the UK and each event offers a relaxed, fun atmosphere with no times and no pressure.
People who wish to take part can sign up at www.dogjog.co.uk.

Laminate flooring is actually a picture of wood attached to composite fiberboard under a clear finish of melamine. It is considerably less expensive than hardwood and has more options for installation, including some that do not require glue.
Hardwood vs. Laminate:
Moisture: Hardwood is affected by changes in humidity and is not recommended for bathrooms, kitchens or below grade. Engineered hardwood requires a moisture barrier to be laid down first, but with this layer in place, it is suitable for all rooms, above and below grade. Many laminate floors are water-resistant, but you should check the warranty to be sure what is and is not covered.
Installation: The installation of hardwood floors is fairly difficult and not usually recommended as a do-it-yourself project. Laminate floors are installed as floating floors. The planks can be glued together, pre-glued or clicked and locked together. Laminates and engineered hardwood require a layer of padding to reduce noise when walking.
Durability: Hardwood floors do tend to dent and scratch more than laminate floors. They can also fade if they are in areas with a lot of sunlight. On the plus side, traditional hardwood can be refinished. Depending on the type of veneer, engineered hardwood can sometimes be refinished, but usually not more than once. Laminate floors are very resistant to scratches and dents but can be chipped. Once damaged, they cannot be easily repaired. If there is significant damage, you may find yourself replacing the entire floor. Laminates do not fade in sunlight and are stain-resistant.
Longevity: A well-maintained hardwood floor can last a lifetime, and floating engineered hardwood floors can last anywhere between 40 and 80 years. On the other hand, a laminate floor is estimated to last up to 20 years.
Aesthetics: Laminate is an image of wood. To some people, the aesthetic value is less than that of real wood. With real wood, there are tremendous variations in the wood grain, whereas the same pattern is repeated every five boards in a laminate floor.
Ultimately, you must consider your budget and long-term needs when deciding between these two popular flooring choices. Hardwood costs more to purchase and install, but it lasts longer and offers greater resale value to a home. Laminate is cheaper, easier to install and does provide considerable durability, if not the same longevity as hardwood.

With the coldest week of the winter so far, whether getting out at the water's edge or other stuff, I carried on as normal. You can't allow external circumstances over which you have no control to affect your life. If you only fish – or anything for that matter – when conditions are perfect, you probably won't get out much.
It might not be a popular concept in some areas of society but we do have to toughen up and hit adversity – or whatever it is that stands against us – head on. At the risk of offending people, which is not my intention, there were plenty of snowflakes this week but they were all falling from the sky. That's the best place for them and on that, I've added a poll for the first time. Vote at the base of the page.
Still not feeling too well, as has been the case all year, it would have been easy to have given in this week. Instead, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. You can listen to the Billy Ocean track via the Spotify link below.
Chub And Bream On The Canal
The opening session, on the Staffs/Worcs Canal, saw chub and perch on the bank. I didn't see any other anglers out and about, and while it was cold, my philosophy is that as long as you've got a bait in the water then you have a chance. As it happened I had a few and ended up with some nice fish on the bank in what was just a short session.
It was my Poachers Pocket set-up that did the trick as well. It's so convenient, I've got everything, bar the net, in one bag that fits very easily in the boot of the car. All I need to do is get some bait, in this case red maggots from the fridge, and away I go. It really fits in with my busy lifestyle.
There was a time when I wouldn't have really entertained this style of fishing. Ten years ago, enjoying a semi-retired approach to life, specimen angling was my chosen style. All the gear and long sessions at the water's edge targeting big fish. Now, if I wanted to stick to that then I would hardly get out. That's where flexibility is the name of the game.
I've totally reevaluated my fishing and it's very different now to what it used to be. The thing is though – and this is very important – I'm enjoying it just as much. That's what it's all about. That's the bottom line.
Other sessions on the canal – and fish – followed and you can see some of them here in the blog entry. The rig is a simple one but it works and that's then key. One of the big positives about the Poachers Pocket approach for me is that I can keep everything set up and ready to go. All I need to do at the water's edge is extend the telescopic rod, let out some line, put a bait on and cast out. I can be fishing in seconds.
Roach And Bullhead On A Brook
With the water temperature continuing at rock bottom towards the end of the week, and the canal partly-frozen, I ventured to a brook that I have fished quite a lot in recent months. Again fishing with the Poachers Pocket outfit, the rig was the same as the canal. I caught roach and a single bullhead. I also had a second fish on that was liberated just as I was about to lift it from the water.
I do like bullheads, they aren't that widespread and you certainly can't target them in the way you can other fish. Nevertheless, when I know they are in a venue it's always at the back of my mind when I fish there that I want to try and catch one. I quite like the mini-species and when you catch any fish by design it's special.
I managed another 10 sessions this week, all very short but sweet. As long as I'm fishing, I'm happy.

This project involves the extension and update of the Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) model for the Bois de Sioux and Mustinka watersheds.
Approximately 70 percent of all Minnesotans rely on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. Wells used for drinking water must be properly sealed when removed from service to protect both public health and Minnesota's invaluable groundwater resources. The Minnesota Department of Health protects both public health and groundwater by assuring the proper sealing of unused wells.
Clean Water funds are being provided to well owners as a 50% cost-share assistance for sealing unused public water-supply wells.
The primary goal of this project is to examine the calibration and validation of recently extended Hydrological Simulation Program – FORTRAN (HSPF) watershed models for the Mississippi River-Headwaters, Mississippi River-Grand Rapids, Mississippi River-Brainerd, Mississippi River-Sartell, Mississippi River-St. Cloud, Leech Lake, Pine River, Crow Wing River, Long Prairie River, and Redeye River watersheds and revise the calibration.

The Monsoon Session of Parliament officially begins on Monday, however, due to death of sitting members in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, both the Houses will be adjourned and proceedings will begin from Tuesday.
Parliament is expected to witness debates on cow vigilantism, farmers' protests, corruption charges against opposition leaders, Kashmir unrest and India's stand-off with China before the monsoon session ends on August 11.

Violence by cow vigilantes has become a disturbing trend and is expected to become a major topic of discussion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, addressing an all-party meeting, placed the onus on the respective state governments, calling on them to take measures against self-proclaimed cow vigilantes.
PM Modi said, "India's image is being affected by these acts. State governments should take stern action such anti-social elements."
The implementation and fall-out over the recently launched Goods and Services Tax (GST) are also expected to feature in the Parliament discussions. Before the rollout of GST on July 1, Opposition parties had protested claiming that the nation was not ready for GST.

The Monsoon Session of Parliament comes in the wake of a rare unity displayed by the Opposition in selecting candidates for the President and Vice President elections respectively. The Opposition is likely to maintain its united front during the parliamentary proceedings.
The government meanwhile has a series of legislations to be passed in Parliament.
PM Modi, ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, said: "I hope the Monsoon Session will see constructive discussions keeping in mind the value of time, resources and honour of the Parliament."

Finding the right foundation shade can be challenging, but even that seems easy compared to finding a formula that won't exacerbate dry skin symptoms. While most foundations offer coverage over blemishes and imperfections, not all can keep flaking and dryness at bay. Lucky for you, we've rounded up the best foundations that not only hydrate but offer long-lasting coverage at a wallet-friendly price point.
Here, the best drugstore foundations for dry, parched skin.
Best Overall: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint
Parched skin will find relief in this moisturizing formula, made with hyaluronic acid, the OG of hydration. The liquid texture feels refreshingly smooth when applied and provides an even and light coverage. Because it acts somewhat like a moisturizer, skin looks fresh all day without reapplication. The your-skin-but-better finish is ideal for those who want just a hint of coverage, but with all the moisturizing benefits.
Best Natural Formula: Burt's Bees Goodness Glows Liquid Foundation
While we love a natural-looking finish, nothing beats natural ingredients. This 98.9% natural mineral makeup provides a medium to full coverage, masking all blemishes and imperfections all while plumping and nourishing your skin. Natural moisturizer (and ethically sourced) meadowfoam seed oil feeds thirsty skin without causing greasiness. The dermatologist-tested formula doesn't feel heavy or cakey, so it's ideal all year round, especially in the hot summer months when wearing foundation can sometimes feel like too much.
Best Protective Formula: Revlon PhotoReady Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation
In a world where selfies reign supreme, you've gotta look your best. In a whopping 31 shades, this super-comfortable formula feels great on the skin and looks even better. Among its many benefits, users love the medium coverage—specifically because the foundation doesn't look too sheer or too heavy. And while it's ultra-hydrating, there's no shiny or oily finish, which is a must for the perfect photo opp. Another great perk: it's an anti-pollution formula, which combats the outer forces (especially if you live in a busy city) that are not great for your skin. What we love is the convenient pump, because the less mess while on-the-go, the better.
Best Cushion Compact: Maybelline New York Dream Cushion Fresh Face Liquid Foundation
The best thing when it comes to a cushion compact is its convenience. Inside this handy compact is a small, soft cushion that is completely saturated with liquid foundation, plus an applicator—which means no accidental makeup bag spills and no extra effort. Simply dab the sponge onto the cushion to collect the color, then swipe on areas where coverage is needed. The pigmented formula is buildable, so start light and add as you need more coverage for that just-got-back-from-vacay glow. This do-it-all product makes a full face on-the-go the easiest part of your morning routine.
Best BB Cream: Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream
A multitasking powerhouse comes in the form of a little tube. One of our favorite BB (beauty balm) formulas, it is made up of game-changing mineral pigments that instantly adjust to your skin's shade. Translation? Everyone can use this cream. Plus, because it's a BB, it literally does everything for your skin—think brightening, masking, blurring, priming, and most important, moisturizing. A product so simple, you apply and smooth with your fingers for a healthy glow, and you're ready to take on the day.
Best Powder: NYX Professional Makeup Hydra Touch Powder Foundation
For those with dry skin that prefer a matte finish, this is for you. Users love this pressed powder for its user-friendly packaging and versatility. You have the option to apply like a traditional powder, or if you're looking for more flexibility, add water, serum or other liquid-like texture into the mix. The formula features moisturizing botanical extracts that keep skin looking well-hydrated and fresh. For best results, apply with a powder brush and sweep across areas that need a little boost.
Best Anti-Aging Foundation: No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation SPF 15
Well, hello, firmer skin! This serum foundation packs a punch—both a skincare and makeup product, it's loaded with anti-aging ingredients that help give skin a tighter and brighter appearance. While it masks imperfections, it also works underneath that coverage to bring back skin's elasticity, unclog pores, and minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Best CC Cream: Lumene CC Light Cream SPF 20
Uneven skin tone, beware. This creamy, buildable color-correcting cream masks redness and discoloration without plugging up your pores. While the coverage is buildable, this formula is meant for those who believe in the less-is-more approach—a little does go a long way here. Plus, with broad spectrum SPF 20, you get extra sun protection to back up your daily sunscreen.

Four years after Different Selves, Italian producer and sound artist Nino Pedone aka Shapedonoise released a new album. Aesthesis is out now via Glaswegian label Numbers. He presented his album live at Berlin Atonal together with visuals by Pedro Maia with the feature of some footage of the controversial Brazilian artist Aun.
The album itself is characterised by an interest in the so-called 'hardcore continuum', excavating within its darker edges, subsuming its ability to convey a sense of dystopian, nightmarish thrill, while also remaining solidly tied to the streets and to the social environment it sprawled from. He is able to achieved his sound by experimenting with unorthodox rhythmic structures and radical cinematic design.
He has invited multimedia artist and poet MHYSA (of NON & Halcyon Veil) to lend her vocals to 'Intriguing (In The End)', while Godflesh and Zonal mastermind Justin K. Broadrick appears in 'Blaze', and 'Moby Dick' is co-signed by Rabit and ex-Coil member Drew McDowall.

5. September 2015: Sheraton Club Lounge @ Sheraton Austin
As I forgot to take a picture of the Sheraton Club Lounge, I had to take one off the internet. And, unfortunately, it does not look like that anymore. I mean, it kind of does but it is as a matter of fact way older and more used than you can see in the picture.
When you are looking for breakfast there on a Friday you are absolutely fine and you even find tacos which are supertasty! But when you go up there and want to eat something on a Saturday, well, you won't find anything! Which was really unsatisfying. However, at least you always find some refreshments in the fridge. All in all, not really an outstanding lounge. Limited food selection, very good tacos, I must admit, but besides that really not worth visiting.

Using creativity to keep the faith
Houses of worship and religious leaders are coming up with creative ways to connect with each other and their surrounding communities in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak.
The creativity and talent-sharing comes as faith communities across the metro practice social distancing by suspending in-person worship services and other gatherings.
Here are some of the ways people are keeping the faith.
Drive-thru food pantry
A transformation was made to the food pantry at Southern Hills Baptist Church, 8601 S Pennsylvania, in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.
The Rev. Doug Melton, the church's senior pastor, said the weekly food distribution was made into a drive-thru food pantry to keep volunteers and the families receiving food safe. He said the first drive-thru effort was done on March 17 and it was so successful that the church did it again on Tuesday, giving away 100 bags of groceries.
"When someone pulls up, we give them a bag of groceries, we ask if we can pray for them. We're looking for ways to share the gospel with them as well," Melton said.
Meals in motion
Meals on Wheels Oklahoma City asked for volunteers' help and they delivered — literally.
Meals on Wheels-OKC is a program of St. Luke's United Methodist Church's food ministry called Ending Hunger OKC, which coordinates 59 churches and organizations that prepare and deliver meals to home-bound seniors.
Meals on Wheels-OKC and St. Luke's partnered with the Regional Food Bank of Greater Oklahoma City to put together 875 "pantry packs." They asked volunteers from the community to show up at St. Luke's, 222 NW 15, to get some of the boxes of food to deliver them to home-bound older adults who are current participants in the Meals On Wheels of OKC program.
Beth Armstrong, a spokeswoman for St. Luke's, said volunteers showed up in their cars and the pantry packs of canned vegetables, meats, cereal, pasta and other food items were places in their vehicles to be delivered to people who were anticipating this special delivery.
Armstrong said it only took about two hours for volunteers to pick up all of the boxes of food and head out into the community.
Picture worthy
Members of Temple B'nai Israel have embraced their house of worship's new virtual Shabbat services.
Adri Johnson, of Edmond, a member of the temple's executive board, has been assisting with social media and helped set up a livestreaming feed of Shabbat (Sabbath) on Friday evenings. Johnson is, perhaps, the perfect person to be part of this effort because she works in the information technology division at the University of Central Oklahoma, helping to train people on campus on how to best use technology.
Johnson said temple members have been encouraged to keep candles close to their computers or other devices that help them connect to the livestreaming Shabbat services. She was gratified to see pictures posted on Facebook showing people placing their kiddish cup (special glass or goblet specifically used to hold the wine drunk during the blessing at the beginning of Shabbat) and candles next to their devices for use during the appropriate moment in the service led by the Rev. Vered Harris, the temple's spiritual leader.
"We still know we're together," Johnson said.
Shabbat and Jewish holiday meals begin with a blessing over a cup of wine. Many families have a special glass or goblet specifically for the purpose, often an heirloom that has been passed down through the generations, but any cup can function as a Kiddush cup if necessary. Either wine or grape juice may be used for this blessing, and some families stand for Kiddush, while others sit.
Friendly faces
The Rev. Todd Fisher showed his sense of humor with a recent tweet about his staff helping him with his initial efforts of preaching to an empty sanctuary.
Fisher, senior pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Shawnee, said his staff tried to help him as he videotaped a sermon to be shown online after his church suspended in-person worship services.
"About to record the worship service for Sunday AM broadcast. I mentioned to some of our team how awkward it's going to be to preach to an empty room. Looks like they helped me," Fisher wrote.
His March 18 tweet included a picture of Immanuel's sanctuary but the room was hardly empty. Staff members had set up a cut-out of theologian Martin Luther and cut-outs of a few well-known fictional pop culture characters, including Marvel Comics' superhero Thor; Yoda, the Star Wars guru of The Force; and Elsa from the Disney's animated hit film series "Frozen."
Elsa held up a sign with a fitting slogan: "Corona never bothered me anyway."
All together now
The Rev. Chris Shorow and his staff at First Christian Church of Edmond (Disciples of Christ) brainstormed ways to make the church's online worship services interactive.
He said they try to have a virtual blessing of the peace, a time when members are encouraged to type in their greetings to one another so that they scroll on the screen.
They also found another way to virtually connect with some help from families in the congregation.
Families were invited to video themselves saying one line of the Lord's Prayer and send the video to church staff. The recordings are put together and shown during the church's online service.
"It's interactive. We splice all those together and it's kind of neat. It ends up being 10 different families saying the Lord's Prayer," Shorow said. "I think it has kept them engaged and given them a sense of community and hope. Isolation can kind of drive people apart. Community and hope can bring us all together."
Mobile Mass
The Rev. Stephen Hamilton's "drive-up Mass" at St. Monica Catholic Church proved to be a popular event.
His parishioners filled the Edmond church's parking lot to see and hear the outdoor Mass Hamilton devised because they couldn't celebrate Mass in typical fashion.
Hamilton captured his church members' interest right away by acknowledging the unusual nature of the event with solemn words.
However, he also added a levity.
Parishioners sat in their cars and the priest asked them to turn on their windshield wipers to show him that they could hear him through their radios, via audio technology set up for the special service.
Right after that the priest asked each family to designate one person in the car to act as the "reporter" for the Mass.
Hamilton asked these reporters to write down the names of anyone in the vehicle who turned down the radio volume during his homily.
Lots of laughter could be heard throughout the parking lot.

I'm part of the team who manage, maintain and continually improve OCSL's compliance certifications and accreditations. We've recently gained our ISO 22301 (Business Continuity) certification. So, I thought it might be timely to provide an update on our latest ISO standard, to go beyond the acronyms of IT compliance and explain why our accreditations are so important. Especially as GDPR becomes a daily reality.
Maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) of information lies at the heart of compliance risk management. When choosing a managed service provider, it's critical to ensure they are committed to ensuring the highest possible standards of information security, quality, business continuity and service management.
Managed Services Case Study: Read how Luton and Dunstable improved both security efficiency by moving to a secure, Hybrid Cloud
Why ISO?
At OCSL, we chose to implement ISO27001 over 7 years ago, shortly followed by ISO9001, ISO27018 and ISO20000, which is ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) aligned.
NEW: ISO 22301 (Business Continuity)
In April 2018 our business continuity management system was the latest to achieve ISO certification. This demonstrates we are following best practice for business continuity management.
Specifically, it requires us to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve a documented management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of occurrence, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents when they arise.
Examples of disruptive incidents include cyber-attacks, criminal activity such as theft or vandalism, interruption to utility supplies and natural disasters such as floods and fires.
The main objective of ISO27001 is risk management. As part of the certification the organisation needs to have a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) in place.
The objective is to provide clear assurance that information assets have been identified, security risks have been assessed and a comprehensive and continually-tested framework of policies, procedures and controls have been adopted.
This standard demonstrates an organisation's ability to implement an efficient and consistent quality system across all operations. This needs to include robust and repeatable processes for monitoring, measurement and continual improvement.
This standard demonstrates an organisations technology is built responsibly and on best practices. ISO20000 provides peace of mind to ensure service requirements are fulfilled consistently and to the required standards. With effective knowledge management, risks are minimised and full control is maintained over IT processes and services.
Cyber Essentials IASME
A primary objective of the UK Government's National Cyber Security Strategy is to make the UK a safer place to conduct business online. To this end, they have recently introduced the Cyber Essentials certification including the IASME Governance Standard.
IASME are one of a small number of companies appointed as Accreditation Bodies for assessing and certifying against the Governments Cyber Essentials Scheme. The IASME Governance Standard is based on international information security best practice.
OCSL has achieved Cyber Essentials certification and rather than opting for this alone, we decided to go one step further by complying with Cyber Essentials including the IASME Governance Standard. In 2018 we added the GDPR readiness certificate to this showing we are 'GDPR ready' for the new data protection laws. We wanted to reassure all our clients we've taken the necessary precautions to reduce cyber and data protection risks.
The Health and Social Care Network (HSCN)
OCSL has been a Commercial N3 Aggregator for a number of years. This means we can provide N3 connectivity, from our N3 circuits, to our approved customers.
We continually go through stringent checks by NHS Digital to maintain this status. In April 2017 The Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) replaced the centrally managed N3 national private network.
HSCN provides a reliable, efficient and flexible way for health and care organisations to access and exchange electronic information. OCSL have been liaising with the N3 Authority NHS Digital, since early 2016, to ensure a completely seamless transition for our N3 connected customers from N3 to HSCN.
And of course, we will keep our N3 connected clients updated at key stages of the process.

This is more or less a review of Shallow Side's show in Madison last Friday, but it is also a personal post. I've been absent from the local music scene for a while and it was absolutely wonderful being back.
Unfortunately, I missed most of the opening act, a band called By All Means. What I did see, however, was really good. If you like hard rock/heavy metal, you might want to check them out.
I have been to four or five Shallow Side shows previously. I always enjoy them. An energetic performance coupled with amazing originals–and some odd but very fun covers–makes for one hell of a night. Shallow Side is better than anyone at getting an audience on its feet, except perhaps Almost Kings.
Friday was no different. The band's set included originals such as "Stand Up," "Out of Reach," and "My Addiction." I have to admit, though, that one of my favorite parts was their version of Bruno Mars's "Uptown Funk," with which they concluded their show. Front man Eric Boatright definitely did the track justice. It was just…magnificent. 🙂

OpenPuff – Hide Data in Media Files
You could store and send encrypted data by creating an encrypted file. People wouldn't be able to see your data, but they'd know there's something there. Instead of creating a standard encrypted file, you can use steganography to hide your encrypted data in an image, video, or audio file. OpenPuff is a Windows application that makes this easy.
After downloading OpenPuff, launch it and click the Hide button to start hiding data in a file. You (or someone else) can use the Unhide button to extract hidden data from a file if you have the required information. This allows you to share media files with someone or just store your own secret data in a place no one would think to look.

Lockbin – Send Secret Messages Via Email
Have you ever needed to email someone an important, sensitive piece of information? Email isn't secure – if you send the information itself in an email, someone could eavesdrop on it in transit. Even if it reaches its destination securely, the data is now stored in someone's email account – it will be backed up on email servers and buried in email archives where someone can find it in the future. If you're sending something important, such as a credit card number or other piece of confidential information, this is unacceptable.
That's where Lockbin comes in. Use the Send Message feature on the Lockbin website (no registration is necessary) to create a secret message. This message is secured with a password the recipient will need to know – for example, you could decide on a password ahead of time in person. Once you've entered the information, a notification will be emailed to the recipient. They'll have to click the link in the email and provide the password. After they view the message once, it will be deleted from Lockbin's servers. You can even attach a file to your secret message, which can be downloaded when the user accesses the message on Lockbin.

Verizon, Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies continue to push the LTE speed envelope breaking the Gigabit speed barrier. The companies achieved an industry first with commercial silicon and network infrastructure with 1.07 Gbps download speeds using the Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 LTE Modem during an Ericsson lab trial.
This 1.07 Gbps achievement builds on Verizon's recent announcement about Gigabit LTE with support for License Assisted Access (LAA). Also of significance, the 1.07 Gbps speed was achieved using only three 20 megahertz carriers of (Frequency Division Duplex using separate transmit and receive frequencies) spectrum, achieving new levels of spectral efficiency for commercial networks and devices. These efficiencies will enable the delivery of the Gigabit class experience to more customers and lead to new wireless innovations.
The companies achieved the 1.07 Gbps industry milestone by using 12 simultaneous LTE streams, which allow for up to 20 percent increase in peak data rates and capacity with a corresponding improvement in average speeds. Ericsson's Radio System and LTE software, in concert with a mobile test device based on the Snapdragon X20 LTE modem, enabled these high speeds.
The lab tests also used 4×4 MIMO per carrier, 256 QAM per carrier, which enables customer devices and the network to exchange information in large amounts, delivering more bits of data in each transmission.
Verizon, Ericsson, and Qualcomm Technologies have reached 953 Mbps (just under 1 gigabit in a joint commercial network deployment in Boca Raton, Florida. While lab tests have shown comparable speeds in recent months, this speed was achieved in a real-world network environment using Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) technology.
The demonstration used all commercially available Verizon network components including a cell site, hardware, software, and backhaul. Riding on Verizon's network infrastructure, Ericsson provided a remote radio head, the micro Radio 2205 for LAA, designed for unlicensed spectrum use. Qualcomm Technologies provided a Snapdragon 835 mobile platform test device and the integrated Snapdragon X16 LTE modem.
To reach gigabit class speeds, the deployment used a combination of licensed and unlicensed spectrum for the first time. This four-carrier aggregation used LAA to combine Verizon's spectrum holdings with unlicensed spectrum, which takes advantage of spectrum where home and commercial Wi-Fi technologies exist.
In addition to four-channel carrier aggregation, other technologies used included 4×4 MIMO and 256 QAM.
July 13, 2017 —
While Verizon was performing its Cat-M1 Voice over LTE (VoLTE) trials, China Unicom, Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies demonstrated the use cases for the new technology early in July at Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2017.
The demonstrations appear to use much of the same technology as Verizon's Cat-M1 VoLTE call: Ericsson's IoT and VoLTE capable network infrastructure and Qualcomm's MDM9206 global multimode LTE IoT modems.
The Cat-M1 VoLTE use cases demonstrated a fire alarm trigger panel and a GPS emergency tracking device.
Fire alarm trigger panels can be configured so that a single press of a button notifies multiple first responders and stakeholders, such as the fire department, the hospital, and the building's property management office. Using VoLTE capabilities, the person who triggered the alarm can describe the situation to rescuers and get immediate guidance.
The improved coverage and longer battery life offered by Cat-M1 technology can be used to create more reliable GPS emergency tracking devices. Such devices can use data services to send GPS location data while enabling VoLTE calls for coordinated emergency response.
During MWC Shanghai, China Unicom, Ericsson and Qualcomm engineers established a point-to-point Cat-M1 VoLTE call using Meitrack P99 GPS tracking devices powered by Qualcomm MDM9206 global multimode LTE IoT modems. Ericsson products used in the demonstration included an LTE Radio Access Network, Evolved Packet Core, IP Multimedia Subsystem and Unified Data Management.

T-Mobile and AT&T are moving forward aggressively using License Assisted Access (LAA) and LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U).
T-Mobile completed its first mobile broadband data session live in the field using License Assisted Access (LAA) on its commercial network in Los Angeles recording 741 Mbps download speeds using 80 MHz of aggregated spectrum.
Meanwhile, in a separate LTE-LAA field trial, AT&T and Ericsson reached speeds of more than 650 Mbps in San Francisco.
"It's a positive for the wireless infrastructure industry," Ted Abrams, founder and principal of Abrams Wireless, said. "It will enjoy additional revenues because of LAA and LTE-U because at each fixed site new radio transceivers need to be installed to carry the signal."
LAA and LTE-U aggregate unlicensed and licensed spectrum to create a better link between the base facility at the tower or small cell node and the user's handset. Both technologies also had to be designed to coexist with unlicensed technologies to guard against interference.
Earlier this year, the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology authorized the first LTE-U devices in the 5 GHz band.
LAA vs. LTE-U
On the same day that T-Mobile announced its LAA achievement, it reported that it is live with LTE-U, which requires a specialized proprietary chipset developed by Qualcomm, in select locations in its commercial networks in Bellevue, Washington; Brooklyn, New York; Dearborn, Michigan; Las Vegas, Nevada; Richardson, Texas; and Simi Valley, California. More LTE-U capable sites will be rolled out later this year.
Both LTE-U and LAA extend LTE into unlicensed. LTE-U was introduced by 3GPP in Release 12 of its LTE standard and LAA was included in Release 13 of the LTE standard.
A mobile operator using LAA can support Gigabit Class LTE with as little as 20 megahertz of licensed spectrum, according to Qualcomm. LAA enables greater carrier aggregation than LTE-U, so mobile operators can combine larger amounts of unlicensed and licensed spectrum, according to T-Mobile.
AT&T called the testing of LTE-LAA technology a milestone on its way to 5G technology. The carrier's initial LTE-LAA rollout is planned by the end of the year, when it hopes to reach gigabit speeds.
"LTE-LAA technology is expected to play a key role as we aim to reach theoretical peak speeds of up to 1 Gbps at some small cell sites by the end of the year. It's also one of the technologies we're using to enhance the network and boost speeds in our 5G Evolution markets," Marachel Knight, senior vice president, Wireless Network Architecture and Design, said.
Whither Verizon?
Verizon, which began the LTE-U Forum in 2014 with Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Qualcomm Technologies, has been quiet on this front. In mid April it asked the FCC for permission to extend its LTE-U testing, according to RCR Wireless News.

Working with Qualcomm Technologies and SoftBank, Sprint is developing 5G technologies in the 2.5 GHz band, including the 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard.
"Today 2.5 GHz TDD-LTE is one of the largest global wireless ecosystems used by some of the most influential operators in the world such as SoftBank and all of China's operators, including China Mobile," John Saw, Sprint CTO, wrote in a blog today.
The agreement includes developing a 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) on the 2.5 GHz spectrum, which Sprint expects to deploy in late 2019.
"As one of the first proponents of 2.5 GHz and TDD-LTE for 4G, we understand the value of building a strong global ecosystem early on. This is why we are working with Qualcomm and SoftBank to develop the 3GPP 5G NR capabilities for 2.5 GHz," Saw wrote.
Sprint has more than 160 MHz of 2.5 GHz spectrum in the top 100 U.S. markets, more mobile-ready 5G spectrum than any other U.S. carrier.
"Today we're using this advantage to densify our network with more cell sites and antennas to build a strong foundation for 5G," Saw wrote. "We are ensuring that Sprint's deep 2.5 GHz spectrum is an early first-mover in the 5G ecosystem. Not all spectrum bands have this kind of global support and economy of scale."
Last December, Sprint announced that it had developed technology that will increase 2.5 GHz network coverage by up to 30 percent to nearly match 1.9 GHz spectrum performance, while penetrating buildings at a rate of be 90 percent of what is achieved at 1.9 GHz spectrum.
The carrier demonstrated the advanced technology, known as High Performance User Equipment (HPUE), which a new power class – Power Class 2 – for end-user devices such as smartphones. In development for two years, HPUE was designed to improve the performance of TDD-LTE Band 41 networks, John Saw, wrote in a blog.
"In 2015, we began working on a solution to improve our 2.5 GHz coverage by increasing the uplink coverage of Band 41 devices," Saw wrote.
Sprint said that its network is ready for the initial rollout of HPUE in its 250 LTE Plus markets. Samsung, one of Sprint's most important ecosystem partners, is expected to support HPUE in devices slated for commercial launch sometime this year.

Situation has improved in Shillong, no clash reported in past 12 hours: Top official
The were no report of any untoward incident in the past 12 hours. However, curfew would be imposed on the entire city from 4pm to 5am. Also, the home department is yet to take a call on restoring internet and messaging services in Shillong.india Updated: Jun 05, 2018 16:30 IST
The situation in the violence-hit Meghalaya capital has "improved" with no fresh clash reported from any part of Shillong over the past 12 hours, a top district official said.
Barring the 14 "vulnerable" localities, where the 24-hour curfew continued to remain in force, life was limping back to normal in other parts of Shillong, he said.
"Over 90 per cent shops in Police Bazaar, and parts of Bara Bazaar opened this morning. People were seen buying supplies at the two marts. Taxis were also plying on thoroughfares, but buses still remained off roads," he added.
East Khasi Hills deputy commissioner P S Dkhar said the home department was yet to take a call on restoring internet and messaging services in the state capital.
"There was no report of any untoward incident in the past 12 hours, but curfew would be imposed on the entire city from 4pm to 5am, just like yesterday," he said.
The hill town has been in the grip of violence since Thursday following a fight between the Sikh residents in Shillong's Punjabi Lane area, also known as sweeper colony, and the Khasi drivers of state-run buses.
Over 10 people, including policemen and CRPF personnel, were injured in the clashes.
Altogether 15 companies of paramilitary forces have been deployed at various locations in Shillong to handle the situation.
The Army also conducted a flag march in the city for the second day yesterday.
The BJP-backed Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government has formed a high-level committee, headed by Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong, to find a permanent solution to the issue of relocation of the sweeper colony, inhabited by the Punjabis, where an assault incident, fanned by fake news on the social media, sparked the clashes last week.
Chief minister Conrad K Sangma had said Monday night that the urban affairs department has been asked to submit a detailed report on the Punjabi Lane area to the committee, including its history, legal aspects and concerns of the people living there.

Dive Brief:
- Wetzel's Pretzels promoted brand president and former CMO Jennifer Schuler to CEO on January 1, as co-founder Bill Phelps stepped down after a 25-year run. Phelps will continue as a brand ambassador, board member and investor, Wetzel's told Nation's Restaurant News.
- Schuler told NRN she plans to add up to 30 new stores this year in airports, stadiums and what she calls "A" location malls. Redesigned and new stores may resemble the company's makeover in Disneyland, Schuler said, which features a bolder, more whimsical design.
- As CEO, Schuler wants to continue menu innovation that leans on snacking and fresh food trends while pursuing opportunities in mobile ordering, delivery and ghost kitchens.
Dive Insight:
Joining another recently anointed leader, CFO Kimberly Smith, Schuler will likely continue to build on the company's successful franchise system, of which she herself is a part: she owns two stores in the Mall of America, per Nation's Restaurant News.
Phelps leaves behind big shoes to fill, however. Not only did he expand the brand outside of California and into other countries, but he also has been an outspoken leader in the business community, particularly in the minimum wage debate. On a CNBC panel in 2016, Phelps said Wetzel's, as an impulse-buy brand, had experienced 9% year-over-year growth since 2006 with sales increasing under a $10-and-rising minimum wage in California.
Schuler discussed the brand's impulse-buy status in a 2017 interview with Nation's Restaurant News. As CMO, she led the charge to open stands on the Santa Monica Pier and inside Walmart stores. "We tend to live in a category that's in a way recession proof. People still like to treat themselves to a pretzel," she said. Comparable sales grew 2.5% in 2018, with annual sales topping $160 million, according to Franchise Times.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the West Coast pretzel darling has similar goals to Auntie Anne's, headquartered in eastern Pennsylvania and also owned by a private equity firm. The latter's parent company Focus Brands could go public this year alongside fellow brands Cinnabon, Jamba Juice and Moe's Southwest Grill. Both pretzel companies have realized the same reality of modern retail — that malls, once a mainstay for their brands, are changing. But the companies have apparently reached different conclusions on what that means for their futures.
Auntie Anne's has put food trucks on the street in multiple cities and doubled down on catering. Wetzel,'s meanwhile, has focused on premium shopping malls, as Nation's Restaurant News reported. Schuler deems the chatter of malls' demise "oversimplification" and sees promise in multi-concept shopping centers that rely on foot traffic from adjoining entertainment and restaurant venues.
