6 Facts About Electronics Everyone Thinks Are True
How To Choose The Right E-Liquid
Conventional tobacco smokers who want to quit will always have the best alternative if they switch to the trendy vaping devices known as e-cigs. It's true that you might have done your homework and find the best e-cig but what you don't know is that the job is only halfway done. Electronic cigarettes have been found to be the better alternative to tobacco puff given that they can assist smokers to quit while keeping them off deadly health consequences associated with traditional cigarettes. Individuals who decide to go the vaping way will need to realize that the e-liquid bottle they purchase for the first time will have a major impact on how they weigh vaping moving forward. Notably, buying the wrong e-liquid flavor with a mismatched strength will have a negative impact since you are likely to abandon ship in favor of traditional cigarettes.
The best e-juice you can buy is one that is made using quality ingredients from a manufacturer who doesn't cut corners during the manufacturing process. If you choose to buy cheap e-liquid, to save money, you not only end up feeling dissatisfied but you also risk getting adverse side effects. When you want to verify that you have the right e-juice, its prudent to check whether the bottles are correctly labeled and that the manufacturer has provided useful product info and how to use it. The best move when you want to discover your best e-liquid is by testing out as many juices as you can until you come across one that is a perfect match with your preferences. You won't have to worry about finding an ideal liquid flavor especially if you go for the one that imitates the flavor of the tobacco smokes you just dropped.
The good thing about finding the best flavor even if it means customizing is the fact that you can mix different flavors to get exactly what you want as long as you are not afraid to experiment. You will need to create the right balance with the flavors you experiment with such that you get the perfect product without risking a weak or an extremely strong end result. If you miss the mark and get a weak liquid strength, there is a possibility that you might not feel satisfied which could see you falling back to tobacco smoking. There is need to be cautious about starting off with a flavor that is too strong since you could get addicted to nicotine as well. You will be safe if you are looking for advice on valuable e-liquid forums on the web and it helps to check out the best e-liquid reviews to broaden your knowledge on these juices.

Close your eyes and ask yourself this: what would you do if you had $100,000 right now?
It's not enough to never work again, but it's enough to help you reach a lot of financial goals, like owning and remodeling your dream house, or paying off every one of your student loans. Where would that money go?
Playing 'what would I do with X amount of money' can be more than just a daydream—it can be a form of financial planning.
While we're not promising someone will hand you a pile of cash, knowing exactly what you want for your financial future is a great way to reverse engineer those goals, and to put a goal based savings and investing plan in place to make those dreams a reality.
What is Goal Based Financial Planning?
Simply put, goal based financial planning is finding a way to align your current money moves with tools to help you reach a specific goal. For new investors, this type of financial planning can be especially effective.
When you're just starting out, investing can feel intimidating and distant.
Linking a specific goal to the investment process can make you more conscious of why you're investing and saving year after year. Prescriptive financial advice that has no connection to your life isn't motivating, and it won't make you excited about the future.
Why Goal Based Investing and Saving Work
When it comes to saving money, goal based financial planning is a secret weapon.
By putting the focus on the specific things you want to achieve, you forge a connection with the acts of both saving and investing. You become emotionally invested in seeing your goals through to the end.
Traditional investment and saving plans focus on more nebulous things like your personal risk tolerance with your money.
But building a strategy based only on risk tolerance isn't a complete picture. There's little nuance in a plan built solely on market risk tolerance.
However, when that savings account is tied to a trip to Thailand with your best friend, or that investment account is aimed at your retirement in Myrtle Beach, you'll feel much more excited to make contributions.
Having a goal based investing strategy also gives you a clear number to work toward. If you know the trip to Thailand is going to cost $4,000 total, and you want to fly there in 7 months, you can work backwards to reach that goal. Divide $4,000 by 7 to know you need to save $571.42 a month to hit that goal.
With a service like Twine, you can save and invest for your personal goals.
From helping you to save with your partner for that down payment, or to begin investing for retirement, Twine is designed to help you craft the financial goals that fit your life.
Financial Planning for Your Future
Investing in your future is an important part of your financial health. And it's a misconception that it's difficult to start investing. With services like Twine, you can get started for just $5, about the same as a Kombucha at Whole Foods.
Having future goals is the first step. Putting a plan in place to reach those goals and feeling secure that you have a solid plan?
That's the step you want to begin with now, so your financial future is more than a daydream.
Put your money to work.

2017 Toyota Highlander SE AWD First Test
Toyota hopes the revised 2017 Highlander, which in 2016 was sandwiched between the best-selling so-called midsize three-row Ford Explorer and third-place Honda Pilot, can regain traction from its best-selling year in 2015.
All Highlanders gets butched-up exterior styling and a suite of standard safety features, including forward collision and pedestrian pre-collision systems with auto brake, lane departure alert/correction, dynamic radar-based cruise control, and auto high-beams. V-6-powered models co-opt the company's 2GR-FKS engine with automatic start/stop and the eight-speed automatic transmission from the Lexus RX 350.
Sporty in Appearance
This criticism is due to the SE's suspension tuning, which feels like the all-spring, no-damper choice we've witnessed in other sporty Toyota/Lexus products. On the best of roads, it feels connected and sure-footed, but bend it into a bumpy corner, and the Highlander leans, and its wheels can't seem to follow the contours of the pavement without a jiggling/squealing protest. What we assumed would be a measurable and subjective handling improvement was neither
Wanting to feel the presumed improved response from the more powerful engine and more tightly geared transmission combination, we were disappointed to witness the throttle programming resist acceleration—and the transmission thwart downshifts—until the pedal was applied in earnest. Also, now given the choice of eight forward gears to choose from instead of six, the programming is determined to find the highest-numbered gear possible. On a steady uphill section of our test route, even with cruise control set to 60 mph, the Highlander shuffled gears up-down, up-down, refusing to maintain a single choice for more than a few seconds at a time.
Highway Comfort and Safety Systems
Using the billiard tablesmooth four-lane oval at our host's test facility, more than a few evaluators remarked at how tall the new transmission's gearing proved to be. "When merging onto the oval, it was just topping out in third gear at 65-ish mph," Christian Seabaugh said. "It's almost like it's geared like a four-speed and has then just been given a handful of extra cogs—just because." Mark Rechtin concurred. "The gearing of this SUV is really tall, which can be OK if you're in the sweet spot," he said. "Third gear easily gets you to 80 mph, but second-gear passing from 45 to 80 is another matter altogether." Out on the oval at speed, the ride was expectedly smooth, and wind and tire noise were kept hushed, but the matter of the new lane keeping warning and assistant drew ire.
Playing in the Dirt
Our evaluations continued on a prepared off-road course, which consisted of gravel, silt, loose and packed dirt, dips and bumps, and slight sideways inclines. Here, the Highlander SE's ample power, decent ground clearance, and relatively wide tires proved their merit. We were generally impressed with how well and how easily the crossover handled the novice course. "I'm pleasantly surprised by this thing," Seabaugh said. "It feels impressively well-built. Solid. Off-road, it's quite apparent that the Highlander comes from the same company that builds the Land Cruiser and Hilux.
What Remains
The best part of the 2017 Highlander appears to be what was left unchanged: its remarkably well-considered interior packaging. Abundant headroom, legroom, shoulder room, and cargo room are complemented by numerous clever storage options, such as the uniquely useful door-to-door dash-mounted shelf and a sizeable center console that Rechtin reckoned "can fit a medium-size dog—much less your purse, or your dog inside your purse."
Those who already like the Highlander will love the new Highlander. Jason Cammisa uncharacteristically found the zeitgeist of the Highlander and is extremely confident that our nitpickiness was overwrought. "Wow, finally a handsome Toyota," he said. "And although I know my opinion is going to be unpopular, I see many reasons why this Highlander will outsell many of its competitors and why more of those customers will love it more than any other:
High praise, indeed, from a typically critical reviewer, and depending on your priorities and values, the 2017 Toyota Highlander SE (or other trim with softer tuning), might just help Toyota sell more Highlanders in 2017. Time will tell.

Success Not Always Measured in Dollar Signs
"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning."
-- Louis L'Amour
Good morning and welcome to the last trading day of 2004. The year is now essentially over and we should all spend at least a little time reflecting on our successes and failures during the past 12 months. As you look back keep in mind that success is not measured only by how you did vs. the major market indices. If your skills as an investor or trader improved during the year, that may turn out to be a far more valuable reward than if you had simply beat a benchmark index.
It is easy to measure financial success in the market; we all know how much money we made or lost. However, even if you are unhappy with your returns you have not failed if you have learned and grown from the experience. You have only failed if you continue to do the same things that produced poor returns in the past.
One of the great things about the market is that it is such a worthy opponent. Mr. Market always presents a formidable challenge and no matter how good or experienced we may be the battle is never won. We must constantly strive to improve our investing skills yet not be frustrated by the fact that the job will never be finished and we will never be perfect. No matter how good we are, Mr. Market is still going to beat us quite often.
It is very important to maintain a healthy respect for the skill, persistence and cunning of the market beast. As soon as you think you have it figured out the market will find a way to bite you.
As we conclude 2004 and start the new year make sure you appreciate the difficulty of the battle ahead, but also contemplate the pleasure that comes from working hard, doing your best and improving your skills in one of the toughest games of all. Learning and growing as investors should be the No. 1 goal of all market participants in 2005.
Once again we have a fairly quiet morning. Asian markets were mostly closed overnight for the holidays and European markets were very quiet. Crude oil is doing little and the news wires are barely scrolling.
Most big investors are done for the year so it is likely to be a thin and choppy day. However, a lot of folks are paid based on closing prices tonight so there is likely to be some fun and games in the closing minutes.

Apparently more power + more grip makes for some fantastic, easily controlled sliding. My neighbor let me try his tuned WRX, and I let him play around with the Miata. I think we both walked away loving each other's cars...
HHere's video of my neighbor drifting the Subaru.. Wish I got video of me in it, I was getting a lot more sideways than him. Always thought AWD would be boring but honestly.... It was a blast. Basically approached it like my Miata, breaking traction, getting sideways, and adjusting via throttle and steering input. More drive wheels, more power, but the basics were the same. Didn't need to radically change how I drove. Anyways, check out that CAMERA WORK
And here's my neighbor trying out the Miata! First time in a RWD car. I told him to go full lock and mash the gas just to get an idea of how easy it is to get the tail loose. He picked it up quick.
And lastly, top-down shenanigans because I couldn't resist. We're at about 7" of snow today and I can't wait to go out later and get back to the hooning!

If love is the most powerful emotion of all, missing someone is next in line. It brings a warm smile on your face to think of the precious moments you spent with your girl and a little sadness to know that she isn't around you anymore. Whether she is on a work trip or has left for the grocery store, let her know that you miss her by dropping in a sweet message "I Never Think About You Intentionally, You Are Always In My Thoughts...I Miss You". This will make her day.

It seems like each new version of the iPhone that comes out brings with it more technology that makes every aspect of life easier. In spite of the best efforts of Apple, the one thing iPhones still can't do is self-repair a cracked iPhone screen. The problem of cracked screens has plagued Apple engineers for years. The process they use to make the modern versions of iPhone screens produces the most resilient to date. Ion-strengthened glass is thought to be eight times stronger than the glass used early on in the iPhone era.
Mobile owners damage their phones more often than you think from the most mundane methods to those that are downright extraordinary. It's not really surprising that people frequently drop their phone into the toilet and end up with a cracked screen and water damage. There's no better invitation to disaster than taking one hand off the phone.
More interesting and entertaining to everyone other than the phone owner, includes stories of owners dropping their phone off of a roller coaster and jamming the ride's motor or having their phone swiped by a black bear during a camping trip. Although some disasters lead to total destruction or loss of the phone, those left behind with minor to moderate damage often require little more than the replacement of a cracked iPhone screen.
Not only are cracked screens a problem, but some experts consider broken smartphone screens an epidemic. It is probably inevitable that something we take with us everywhere we go will end up getting broken a large percentage of the time. That doesn't prevent you from feeling embarrassed when it happens to you. Seeing that crack in the middle of your expensive iPhone screen can make you feel like an idiot. Just remember, it happens to lots of other phone owners every day.
When it happens to you, don't give up on your phone until you consider your options. A broken screen doesn't mean the rest of the phone is damaged. Consider the cost and inconvenience of repair vs replacement before you head off to the iPhone store.
Should I Repair or Replace My Phone?
First of all, you should definitely do one or the other. As many as one-third of all iPhone users are walking around with a cracked iPhone screen. Some have missing pieces of glass that allow the user to cut their fingers when they try to use it.
Not only does a cracked screen distort your vision and pose a risk to your fingers, a lot of people consider a cracked screen a "turn-off." A survey from "Singles in America" stated that 86% of women judge men negatively for having a cracked iPhone screen. Since both men and women iPhone users are much more likely to seek out other iPhone users, a cracked screen could have a huge impact on your efforts at meeting someone new!
Another problem commonly cited by these people is that there are no local Apple Stores in their area. That means, the only way to have the company repair their phone is to mail it in and spend a long time waiting to get their phone back.
Another reason some owners are in no rush to get their broken screens fixed is the thought of having to do without their phones while they wait on repairs. Finding fast repair service is virtually impossible in some areas. Many people rely on their phones for their jobs, socializing, shopping, and even balancing their checkbooks. Functioning without them places a real burden on them. As long as their phone is still usable, they prefer to manage with a cracked screen instead of waiting for weeks to get it back.
Replacement is a faster option, but also a lot more expensive. If the damage goes beyond the cracked screen, your only option may be to buy a new phone. If it is new and/or under warranty, and it has more damage than the broken screen, Apple will replace the device for free. Coverage gets a little hazier when a cracked screen is the only problem.
Apple does pay to repair a hairline crack if the phone is under warranty, but not if the crack is large enough to indicate that it was damaged from an accident. In other words, they will only repair a hairline crack that looks like it occurred from a factory defect. If the damage occurred from a fall or drop or the phone is no longer under warranty or covered under AppleCare+, then you will have to pay for the repair or the full replacement out of your own pocket. If you do have AppleCare+, then you will pay a service fee and any shipping charges for the repair. If there is other damage, you will pay additional costs.
Some iPhone users just don't want to go through the hassle of getting a cracked iPhone screen repaired. While some can't wait to get the latest iPhone release, others are comfortable with the phone they already have. They have their data stored inside and they don't want to take the risk of losing it. If you plan to keep using your phone until it just gives out, you are at a greater risk of losing your data than if you have it repaired.
Will I Lose My Data and Photos if I Replace My iPhone Screen?
You shouldn't, but it is possible. Replacing the screen is a complex job that presents lots of potential for things to go wrong. This is especially true if you decide to attempt the job on your own. Even if the odds are minimal, you should take the time to backup your data before the repair. Actually, you should make it a habit to backup data regularly. Once the device is broken or lost, there is no way to get the info you have stored in it back. You can replace your iPhone but you can't replace your memories.
Backup Your Data
Just backup your device on iTunes or iCloud so you don't lose your photos and other personal data.
˃To Backup on iTunes
If you have an iTunes account on your Mac or PC, plug your phone into your computer and go to iTunes. If you have plugged your iPhone into iTunes before, just press "Backup" on the summary screen and the computer does the rest.
If you haven't previously plugged your phone in and completed the 'Trust' dialog, you will have to enter the passcode now before you can backup your info on iTunes. A cracked screen can make this more challenging if there are areas that don't respond to touch. If you can't tap in the passcode numbers, try to slide into VoiceOver mode using Siri. This option allows you to move the cursor over the screen and then tap it to enter the passcode.
Use the following steps to enter the passcode on a cracked iPhone screen:
While holding down the HOME button, say "Turn on VoiceOver."
Press the HOME button twice. This will cause the passcode screen to pop up.
Use the working area of your screen to move the cursor to the passcode numbers. VoiceOver says your selections out loud in case you can't see through the screen.
To select each passcode number, double tap the selection.
Once the phone unlocks, use the VoiceOver feature to tap "Trust" into the dialog that pops up after plugging your phone into your computer.
Once you have copied your data into iTunes, instruct Siri to "Turn off VoiceOver" or go to your settings to turn the feature off.
˃To Backup on iCloud
On your computer, go to 'Settings', 'iCloud', then 'Storage and Backup' or 'Backup', depending on your device. Press 'Backup Now'. If you don't have enough iCloud storage to hold all of your data, you can purchase more.
Once you have your repaired phone or your replacement, you can restore the data.
Why You Shouldn't Do-It-Yourself
Some people can't resist any opportunity to turn disasters into do-it-yourself projects. After all, it's a great way to save money and it gives you something to brag about to your friends. No matter how tech-savvy you are, you should never try to repair a cracked iPhone screen.
The good news is that you can purchase a new screen online for as little as $20. The bad news is that the potential damage that you can do during a repair attempt could extend far and above the cost of a professional screen repair.
Some companies offer do-it-yourself kits that include the screen, tables, tools, and instructions to do the repair. The price of these kits is $89.99, just under the price most repair shops charge to do the job professionally. Considering the potential for things to go wrong with a DIY repair, it really isn't worth the risk to save less than $20 and possibly ruin a phone that costs hundreds to replace.
Do iPhone Screens Crack More Than Those on Other Phones?
It might seem that way but this perception is probably due to the large percentage of smartphone users who own iPhones. It is the circumstances that lead to a cracked iPhone screen, not the brand itself. The model of iPhone you use will make a difference in how the phone breaks and whether you actually lose pieces of glass out of it, but every phone screen has the same potential to break under impact.
Where to Go for a Cracked iPhone Screen Repair
Once you decide on repair as your best option, the next matter is to decide where to get the repair. Going back to Apple isn't always a practical choice or even the most affordable one. Amid complaints of long waits, Apple no longer voids the warranty on phones when the owner has a cracked screen repaired by a third-party service. That makes it a lot more convenient to get your phone repaired quickly, but you should know what to look for to get the best results.
When it comes to something as important to your daily life as your iPhone, you don't want to leave repairs in the hands of a new company. Look for someone who has been around for a while and has a good reputation. A quick online search of reviews will tell you everything you need to know about the quality of work and service you can expect.
Look for a repair service that specializes in iPhone repair, specifically in repairing cracked screens. You want someone who has the right parts on-hand and who will perform the repair in an efficient manner.
Finally, consider the average time it takes the company to repair phones. The number of repairs they have to make and the availability of parts will make a difference in how quickly they can get the job done. Waiting to have parts delivered can take just as long as mailing your phone off to have the screen replaced.

A domestic worker stole two luxury watches worth $95,000 from her employer last September, and handed them to another maid who was returning home.
Indonesian Muinah asked her compatriot, Dewi, to hand the two watches - a $60,000 Franck Muller watch and a $35,000 Van Cleef & Arpels watch - to her mother back in her home town.
In all, she stole cash and property worth more than $160,000 from her employer, and was sentenced to 18 months' jail yesterday.
Muinah, 35, admitted to three of five charges. Two were for theft as a servant and the other for removing the watches she had stolen from the jurisdiction of Singapore.
A district court heard that Muinah had been working for Ms Esther Minah Mohamed Shah, 33, since May 2013.
When her employer moved from her home in Bishan to a rented house in Nim Road last September, she asked Muinah to help her pack all her jewellery in a luggage bag.
Muinah was packing the luggage bag when she stole the two watches and hid them inside a kitchen cabinet. She subsequently handed the watches to Dewi.
Between Oct 1 last year and May 9 this year, Muinah stole cash and jewellery totalling $65,157 while cleaning the house in Nim Road.
After stealing the items, she would hide them inside her personal bag, and then underneath the refrigerator outside the storeroom of the house.
On May 9, Ms Minah made a check and found local and foreign currencies as well as some pieces of jewellery under the refrigerator. She then lodged a police report.
After realising that the maid had also stolen the two watches, Ms Minah's husband flew to Indonesia and managed to get them back from the maid's mother.
District Judge Hamidah Ibrahim backdated Muinah's sentence to May 11. The maximum penalty for theft as a servant is seven years' jail and a fine.

With more than 100 beaches, Sydney is the ultimate base for those who like getting their toes wet. And as it turns out, you don't have to swim alone. From Manly to Maroubra, the city's swim squads not only promise to improve your stroke technique and lap times, but also offer a way to socialise with like-minded locals.
Manly: Bold and Beautiful Swim Squad
Every day at 7am – regardless of the weather, the season or the ocean temperature – hundreds of people gather religiously at Manly Beach, pulling on pink caps as they prepare to dive into the sea. Established 10 years ago, the "B and B" squad's swim course covers 1.5 kilometres, from the front of Manly Life Saving Club to Shelly Beach and back. Although some members are faster than others, there's a great deal of camaraderie between swimmers – there's no turning around at the halfway mark until everyone has completed the first 750 metres safely. Post swim, B and B fanatics make the most of the suburb's bountiful cafes, refuelling on coffee and pastries and recounting highlights of the morning's exercise.
When: Daily from 7am.
Cost: None. Everyone's welcome.
Balmoral: Balmoral Swimmers
This squad, established in 1922, calls itself "a small group of friends, swimming". Every Sunday, the pals meet at 8.45am to steel themselves for a series of races that takes place from 9am – some are fast and furious across a 30-, 50- or 100-metre course, while others require more stamina across 200 metres or a kilometre. "We all like to get a good start to Sunday," the group says. "You can read the Sunday papers later with a good feeling that you had a nice swim to start the day."
When: Sundays from 8.45am.
Cost: $100 for a six-month membership; $200 for the year.
Bondi: 4SEAsons Swim
Bondi is home to the oldest winter swim club in Australia (Bondi Icebergs, which meets daily to do laps across the suburb's beautiful ocean pool), so it probably comes as no surprise it is also the base for one of the country's most active ocean swim squads. Regardless of swimming ability, 4SEAsons members are in the water by 8am every Saturday, year round – when there are waves, there's time for body surfing; when it's flat, the long course ranges from two to three kilometres. In summer, there are also training sessions six times a week, helping you reach your swim goals and prepare you for major ocean swims.
When: Saturdays from 8am.
Cost: First swim is free; $20 per swim for casual members. Monthly and yearly packages are also available.
Clovelly: Eskimos Winter Swimming Club
Clovelly's Eskimos squad is so cool it only swims in winter. The 64-year-old group, part of the eastern suburb's Surf Life Saving Club and affiliated with the Winter Swimming Association of Australia, invites members to dive in from May through September. Swimmers meet at 10am on Sundays and participate in races that explore the beautiful Clovelly Bay: there's the 33-yards race (across the bay) and 66-yards (across the bay and back), with starts staggered according to your handicap. As invigorating as the swims are, most people come here to socialise, with plenty of coffee and banter on shore after your event.
When: Sundays from 10am (winter only).
Cost: $70 per year for non-surf club members.

With 10 courses and more than 200 holes in the Gettysburg region, it's hard to pick just five favorites, but we've reached out to golf course pros, course superintendents and golfers themselves to help us narrow down a list of holes that – no matter your score – will leave you appreciating your round that much more.
Our list of favorites aren't necessarily the most challenging holes, the top handicapped holes – it's sometimes the beauty, the finesse it takes to get that shot just right – the perfectly placed creek, the shady grove of trees that force you to lay up short, or the lob of the wedge that needs to carefully float over a ring of bunkers before landing softly on the green.
The Links At Gettysburg, Hole No. 18
Thought we'd pick the third hole, didn't you? Yes, the red rock backdrop of No. 3 is a beautiful hole, we like the final hole at "The Links" for this list. As the scorecard goes, this Par 5 hole is the easiest on the course, measuring 482 from the blue tees. But as course officials warn you, this eagle opportunity only comes "if you can avoid the ponds on the left and right, and three bunkers that guard the left side of the green." Easy enough, right?
We like No. 18 because it gives golfers a good chance to end the round in an impressive fashion, and – with its red rock cliff, beautiful bridge spanning the ponds, and clubhouse overlooking the green – it's simply a great way to finish any round of golf.
Quail Valley Golf Course, Hole No. 13
Unlucky No. 13, you're thinking? Maybe. This island green hole isn't for the timid golfer. Course manager at Quail Valley Golf Course, Scott Keller, suggests the Par 3 hole is more of a psychological challenge than anything. Measuring about 155 yards, the green is an easy reach and much larger than it appears from the tee box. But "bunkers to the left and right will collect shots hit a little off line and there is more room up front than you might think," the hole description reads. Any shot, it adds, that lands on the green is "a reason for celebration."
Let's be honest – if you managed to loft this ball safely on the green, it's your favorite hole on the course and you feel ready for the pro tour. If not, well …
Caledonia Golf Course, Hole No. 4
Your ball won't get wet on this Par 3, but you'll need to be careful on this hole, nicknamed "the bowl hole" or the "sugar bowl" by regulars at Caledonia Golf Course. Surrounded by a knee-high grass mound 360 degrees around, this hole seems easy enough, but the banks of the mound could toss your ball in a dozen different directions if you don't hit it right … or you land it in one of the two sand bunkers just outside the rim of "the bowl." A soft chip shot anywhere on the green though will likely ensure a two-putt from there.
It's not just this unique hole that makes Caledonia Golf Course special. The 18-hole family friendly course is part of the beautiful Michaux State Forest and South Mountain range, making it for a beautiful round throughout the year.
Carroll Valley Golf at Liberty Mountain Resort, Hole No. 12
Carroll Valley Golf Course's Golf pro, Gavin Green, calls this hole a "risk-reward" – it's reachable in two shots for a longer hitter but is closely guarded by a creek in the front and a bunker on the right and left. In other words, if you're brave enough to go for the green in two on this 524-yard Par 5, you'll be looking at a good eagle or birdie opportunity. If you come up short, you'll be fishing your ball out of Tom's Creek.
The tee box is elevated and in the middle of the valley, Gavin adds, so your attention is focused on the green with hills on both sides. Play this hole in autumn and you're in for a breath-taking experience. Play this course in early spring and you might just run into skiers and snowboarders at Liberty Mountain.
Mountain View Golf Club, Hole No. 11
Just down the road on the other side of Fairfield, Pa., is Mountain View Golf Course, a relatively open course with plenty of room for slicers and hookers. Boasting the smoothest and fastest greens in the region, this course isn't easy though.
The back nine holes are a bit tighter and the neighboring woods comes into play. If you ask course officials, they'll probably tell you about Hole No. 11 … a tough, but beautiful 400-yard Par 4 dog-leg left. You'll need a little precision on your second shot as the tree line narrows in on the fairway, a creek comes into play before reaching the elevated green.
Golf courses abound in the Gettysburg region including The Bridges Golf Course in nearby Abbottstown, Meadowview and Cedar Creek between Gettysburg and Littlestown, and Piney Apple Golf north of Gettysburg in Bendersville, Pa.
And if you have the chance, be sure to take a short drive over to Fayetteville, Pa., and check out the nationally renowned Penn National Golf Course, featuring 36 challenging holes over two distinctly different courses. Play the founders course and you'll be finishing up with the five hardest holes on the course, according to Penn National, beginning with the Par 5 14th hole.

Cross-Referencing Alarms: Network Security Monitoring and Network Outage Notifications
As anyone that has run a network of any size has surely experienced, with one alert, there is typically (but not always) a deeper issue that may or may not generate further alarms. An often overlooked correlation is that between a security event caught by a Network Security Monitor (NSM) and that of a network or service monitoring system. In certain cases, a security event will be noticed first by a network or service alarm. Due to the nature of many modern attacks, either volumetric or targeted, the goal is typically to offline a given resource. This "offlining," usually labeled a denial of service (DoS), has a goal that is very easy to understand: make the service go away.
To understand how and why correlating these events is important, we need to understand what they are. In this case, the focus will be on two different attack types and how they manifest. There are significant similarities. Knowing the difference can save time and effort in working triage, whether you're dealing with a large or small outages/events.
Keeping that in mind, the obvious goals are:
- Rooting out the cause
- Mitigating the outage
- Understanding the event to prevent future problems
For the purposes of this post, the two most common issues will be described: volumetric and targeted attacks.
This one is the most common and it gets the most press due to the sheer scope of things it can damage. At a high level, this is just a traffic flood. It's typically nothing fancy, just a lot of traffic generated in one way or another (there are a myriad of different mechanisms for creating unwanted traffic flows), typically coming from either compromised hosts or misconfigured services like SNMP, DNS recursion, or other common protocols. The destination, or target, of the traffic is a host or set of hosts that the offender wants to knock offline.
This is far more stealthy. It's more of a scalpel, where a volumetric flood is a machete. A targeted attack is typically used to gain access to a specific service or host. It is less like a flood and more like a specific exploit pointed at a service. This type of attack usually has a different goal, gain access for recon and information collecting. Sometimes a volumetric attack is simply a smoke screen for a targeted attack. This can be very difficult to root out.
Given what we know about these two kinds of attacks, how can we utilize all of our data to better (and more quickly) triage the damage? Easily, actually. Knowing that an attack is occurring is fairly easy to determine in the case of volumetric attacks: traffic spikes, flatlined circuits, service degradation. In a strictly network engineering world, the problem would manifest and best case NetFlow data would be consulted in short order. Even with that particular dataset, it may not be obvious to a network engineer that there is an attack occurring. It may just appear as a large amount of UDP traffic from different sources. Given traffic levels, a single 10G connected host can drown out a 1G connected site. This type of attack can also manifest in odd ways, especially if there are link speed differences along a given path. This can look like a link failure or a latency issue when in reality it is a volumetric attack. However, if also utilizing a tuned and maintained NSM of some kind, the traffic patterns should be readily identified as a flood, and the traffic pattern can be filtered more quickly, either by the site or the upstream ISP.
Targeted attacks will be very different, especially when performed on their own. This is where an NSM is critical. With attempts to compromise actual infrastructure hardware like routers and switches on a significant uptick, knowing the typical traffic patterns for your network is key. If a piece of your critical infrastructure is targeted, and it is inside of your security perimeter, your NSM should catch that and alert you to it. This is especially important in the case of your security equipment. Having your network tapped before the filtering device can greatly aid in seeing traffic with destinations of your actual perimeter. Given that there are cases of firewalls being compromised, this is a real threat. If and when that occurs, it may appear as a high load on a device, a memory allocation increase, or perhaps a set of traffic spikes, most of which a network engineer will not be concerned with as long as it is not affecting service. However, understanding the traffic patterns that led to that could help uncover a far less pleasant cause.
Most of these occurrences are somewhat rare, nevertheless, it is a very good habit to check all data sources when something out of the baseline occurs on a given network. Perhaps more importantly, there is no substitute for good collaboration. Having a strong, positive and ongoing working relationship between security professionals and networking engineers is a key element to making any of these occurrences less painful. In many cases of small- and medium-sized environments, these people are one and the same. But when they aren't, collaboration at a professional level is as important and useful as the cross referencing of data sources.

Sicario: Day Of The Soldado Review Video | Starring Brolin and Del Toro
In 2015 a film Sicario was released. It starred Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, and Victor Garber, and told the story of an FBI agent trying to take down a Mexican drug cartel.
Now, in 2018, we have the sequel. Titled Sicario: Day of the Soldado, it once again stars Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro.
This video is a review of Sicario 2 by Schmoesknow. Brolin is still going after the cartel, but the intensity of the drug war at the border has ramped up considerably.
This looks like a solid sequel, although most critics are suggesting it doesn't quite live up to the original. But then how many sequels do?

Former USS Chafee commander is censured in 'Fat Leonard' corruption case
By WILLIAM COLE | The Honolulu Star-Advertiser | Published: May 16, 2019
HONOLULU (Tribune News Service) — A former commander of the Pearl Harbor destroyer USS Chafee received a scathing censure from the secretary of the Navy accusing him of accepting tens of thousands of dollars in improper gifts from corrupt Malaysian defense contractor Leonard Glenn Francis and demonstrating a "higher loyalty" to Francis than to the United States.
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer told Capt. Heedong Choi that "as your leadership positions increased, so too did your value to Mr. Francis."
Francis, a ship services contractor known as "Fat Leonard," stated that Choi had been on his "payroll" since 2001 because he "kept delivering," Spencer said in the April 26 censure letter.
On June 6, 2009, Choi improperly solicited an "elaborate and lavish private dinner" for his marriage proposal plans with a jazz ensemble on the helipad of the Swissotel in Singapore, with Francis and/or his company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia, footing the $18,000 bill, according to the Navy.
Spencer said Choi in 2012 obstructed justice by wrongfully notifying Francis of an ongoing investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and Korean authorities into Glenn Defense's fraudulent business.
"Your actions have cast a shadow over the reputation of all the outstanding men and women who served during your tenure in command and time in other leadership positions," Spencer said.
Choi was commanding officer of the Chafee from April 2008 to April 2010. He had previously held the position of executive officer, the No. 2 in command, on the Pearl Harbor-based cruiser USS Lake Erie. From 2010 to 2013 he was a staff officer at U.S. Pacific Command.
In 2018 Choi was dismissed from his job as commanding officer of the Navy ROTC program at the State University of New York's Maritime College, according to Navy Times.
The removal was "based on alleged personal misconduct that is the subject of an ongoing investigation," the Navy was reported saying.
The publication said Choi had been administratively reassigned to the Navy ROTC unit at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in New York pending further investigation.
Francis, a 350-pound defense contractor, pleaded guilty in 2015 to bribery and fraud charges over the decadelong conspiracy involving Glenn Defense, which provided ship services to the Navy in Southeast Asia.
The Justice Department has been prosecuting the most serious cases in the Fat Leonard scandal. As of February, 33 defendants had been charged and 22 pleaded guilty.
The Navy said Choi "repeatedly and improperly solicited and accepted gifts" including free or discounted luxury hotel stays, Dom Perignon champagne and Cohiba Maduro cigars.
Spencer said Choi confirmed his loyalty to Glenn Defense in an email in which he wrote, "(A)t least by word of mouth, I'm passing on to everyone I know how great GDMA is."
On "multiple occasions" between 2008 and 2013, Choi committed graft in wrongfully accepting gifts worth more than $25,000 in exchange for improperly endorsing Glenn Defense, facilitating inappropriate relationships between Francis and other Navy officers and sharing internal Navy information, the censure states.
Francis had a "clear and obvious" financial incentive to curry favor with senior Navy officers, with the resulting loss to U.S. taxpayers exceeding $34.8 million, Spencer said.

Lily has had tummy problems for a week, they had been back and forth to the doctors who all said it was just a virus, blahblah. She kept getting worse so they took her back to the doctor. My sister called me late Thursday evening saying Lily was in the hospital she was having seizures.
You know the saying "I didn't grab no shoes or nothing!!". Well....I forgot panties.
They transferred her to the Children's Hospital in Alexandria.
But like always, when faced with an emotional, scary, or bad situation, we always find a way to laugh. Lily is home and much better now. I appreciate all of the texts and messages :)
Today marks 25 years since the Berlin Wall came down. I don't remember much when it happened, but I do know the Alvin and the Chipmunks episode about it. I was thoroughly disappointed when I saw footage years later and it didn't crack down the middle like it did in the cartoon.
The Provencal Fall Fest was this Saturday. I can't remember the last time I have been. It was fun. I saw 99.98% of people I know.

Trading in cryptocurrency can bring stable profit when handled by professionals, but smart traders are always looking for new sources of income. One of these is special trading contests and competitions and Velvet Exchange is running one right now.
How Velvet Exchange competition works
The competition started on September 10; the prize fund of the first round is $3,500. In the nearest future, Velvet Exchange plans to hold also the second and third rounds with even greater prize opportunities.
Participants are invited to perform various tasks and earn tickets, the number of which depends on the complexity of each task. The ones having the highest chances of winning will be the participants who collect the biggest number of tickets. There are several task groups available:
1) Account registration, newsletter subscription, KYC, 2FA connection – from 1 to 5 tickets per task;
2) Trading operations: 2 tickets are awarded for each deposit for over $100. The participant also receives 1 ticket for the first transaction made with a real deposit. There are also trade volume and consolidated balance profitability increase coefficients to double the number of tickets earned in other categories.
3) Promotion in social media: a subscription to the exchange channels, reposting of official news (the number of followers is also taken into account here), creation of Velvet Exchange video reviews – from 1 to 10 tickets.
4) Referral program: a participant receives 5 tickets each time a new user registers via his/her referral link and deposits $10. This limit is set to avoid the registration of bots. In this case, the new participant (referral) also automatically receives 1 ticket. The maximum number of referrals per participant is 10, the number of tickets – 21.
The three winners are to be awarded the largest prize on the official page of the competition, the rating of participants with the current number of tickets will be placed. Thus, the users will be able to find out how many more tickets they need to outperform their opponents and increase their winning chances.
The winner will receive $2,000. The second-place trader will be awarded $1,000, and taking the third place will bring you $500. Also, bonus prizes are to be received by 20 participants: BTC checks equivalent to $50 each. The remaining checks will be cashed in the next rounds.

NERUPPUDA SYNOPSIS: Guru and his friends' ambition is to become firemen, but a run in with a gangster threatens to bring their dream crashing down.
NERUPPUDA REVIEW: Neruppuda has five friends bound by their passion. Right from childhood, Guru (Vikram Prabhu, who does a good job as an earnest youngster) and his friends' ambition is to become firemen, and save people during fire accidents. They even have their own fire engine. Guru also has a romantic track, with Vasumathi (Nikki Galrani), the daughter of a senior fireman who the friends look up to, but this is entirely functional and adds to nothing other than the length of the film (a duet that pops up in the second half is, especially, so out of place).
Just when their dream of becoming professional firemen is within their reach, there crops up a problem. One of the friends runs into a drunken man (Vincent Asokan) who ends up dead after the fracas. And the next day, they learn that the guy, Sadha, was the right hand man of notorious gangster, Puliyanthoppu Ravi (Madhusudhan, all sound and no real fury). Or, as a character in the film puts it, he was like Rajini for Mammootty in Thalapathy.
An enraged Ravi tries to track down the people responsible for his friend's death, while the friends desperately plot to save themselves.
Neruppuda, at first, feels like a tried-and-tested action film — a group of youngsters versus a powerful gangster. But Ashok Kumar keeps subverting the masala movie cliches that he throws at us. We think the film is going to be about Guru's schemes to escape the wrath of Ravi, but then something unexpected happens. And just when we are told that the friends are safe, and start to heave a sigh of relief, another unexpected event happens. In fact, the film's intermission is a plot point that most action movies reach only during their pre-climax portion.
Even after that, we keep getting something unexpected — we think Guru has triumphed Ravi once and for all, but he pops up again. And then, we realise there could be an unseen threat. Guru suffers a loss, and his predicament — of not knowing who might be behind the crime — neatly ties up with the initial dilemma of Ravi, when he was baffled by who might have killed Sadha.
When Ashok Kumar reveals the final twist, we are definitely surprised. However, this revelation isn't earned and feels more like a twist for twist's sake. Like the recent Nibunan, the film is content to reveal the friends' unseen enemy as a character that enters the plot only at that point. Even the (comeback) actor playing the role is credited only in the end credits, as it happened in that film. This lack of foreshadowing lessens the impact of the climax.

Timing Of An Insured's SIR Payment Has No Effect On Non-Participating Carrier's Equitable Contribution To A Co-Carrier
Construction Law E-Alert (April 2012)
The dispute involved an equitable contribution claim between two carriers, Axis Surplus Insurance Company ("Axis") and Glencoe Insurance Ltd. ("Glencoe"). Axis provided commercial general liability coverage to Pacifica Pointe L.P. (developer). At the same time, Glencoe provided an owner-controlled insurance policy (
, OCIP wrap policy) to Pacifica. Both policies included provisions requiring co-carriers to split defense and indemnity obligations equally. A construction defect lawsuit was brought against Pacifica, involving a condominium conversion project. Pacifica tendered the claim to both Axis and Glencoe. While Axis agreed to defend Pacifica, subject to a reservation of rights, Glencoe declined to participate until Pacifica satisfied its $250,000 SIR. Glencoe continued to monitor the litigation from the sidelines. Axis and Pacifica eventually settled the underlying lawsuit for $1 million. Pacifica advised Glencoe of the settlement, and received Glencoe's approval to contribute its $250,000 SIR towards the settlement and Axis contributed $750,000. Afterwards, Axis sued Glencoe for declaratory relief and equitable contribution, to recover a portion of the defense and indemnity payments it made on Pacifica's behalf during the lawsuit. The trial court found in favor of Axis and allocated 60% to Glencoe. Glencoe appealed. The Court of Appeal scrutinized whether Glencoe, as a non-participating carrier, had a legal duty to participate, regardless of when Pacifica satisfied its SIR. The Court concluded that the timing of when the SIR was satisfied is inconsequential to determining when the obligation to participate begins, especially when the underlying claims trigger actual coverage. The Court also pointed out that Glencoe had full notice of the claim, and admitted coverage existed. Because of these reasons, Glencoe was precluded from arguing that it had no obligation to participate until the SIR was satisfied. This case is important because carriers often argue they will not participate in a case until the SIR is satisfied. However, there does not seem to be any hard and fast rules any longer. Carriers may be obligated to participate from the beginning of a case, regardless of when an SIR is eventually satisfied. By

This whisky has the quality of the 16 years old however it is much bolder and holds more peat. Great value anniversary bottling.
Official Tasting Notes
Palate: Light in texture, with a magnificently full-on Lagavulin taste that's even bigger than you may expect; sweet, smoky and warming, with a growing, smoky pungency, then dry, with more smoke.
Finish: Lovely: clean, very long and smoky. This is a polished and exquisitely crafted celebration of Lagavulin with smoky-clean aromas and a mighty taste.

A team of Chilean and international astronomers have found a planet only 22 light years from Earth that may have the potential to support life, through research conducted under the clear skies of the Atacama Desert.
The alien world was discovered at Cerro La Silla, 370 miles (600 km) north of Santiago, using the Planet Finder Spectrograph, which is part of the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
It is located in a "goldilocks zone," say researchers, not too hot and not too cold: a slim margin where water, and potentially life, could exist. "This planet is the best candidate to develop life," said team member Dante Minniti, an astronomer from Universidad Católica, to El Mercurio. "There will always be candidates, but this one is smack in the middle of the habitable area."
The planet itself is a "super-earth," 4.5 times larger than Earth. Just 22 light years away from us, orbiting around the sun GJ667C, it is located the shortest distance yet discovered between Earth and a planet in the "goldilocks zone" – most of the others are thousands of light years away.
"The detection of this planet, this nearby and this soon, implies that our galaxy must be teeming with billions of potentially habitable rocky planets," said fellow group astronomer Steven Vogt.
And the research team is hopeful that further discoveries like this one may be made soon. "With the advent of a new generation of instruments, researchers will be able to survey many M dwarf stars for similar planets and eventually look for spectroscopic signatures of life in one of these worlds," said team leader Guillem Anglada-Escudé.
Plans are now underway for a new telescope to be built in the region, which is used by astronomers from all over the world to push the boundaries of knowledge about outer space, due to its uniquely clear skies. The new equipment would be used to explore planets like the one just discovered, to better measure if there is observable water or life.

How to Teach Right-Brained Spelling and Phonics Successfully
The English language is very confusing and contradictory to many children. We can spot them because they are also the children who struggle to read. It's as simple as that! The Right-Brained Spelling & Phonics Kit will be your best helper when demystifying this language for your brand new or struggling readers.
Here's the Kit:
The Right-Brained Spelling & Phonics Kit contains:
- The Illustrated Book of Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns will be both your teaching manual and your student workbook. The lessons are presented in order by difficulty, so you can start at the very beginning and march straight through the book. The purpose of this book, in simplest terms, is to show your children all the ways to spell each sound they hear in words. It is important to carefully read the instructions at the beginning of the book, paying closest attention to the sections "Fundamentals" and "Daily Routine."
- Sound Spelling Display Cards are used to display on the wall as you teach a particular sound. The purpose of the Display Cards is to show in one place all the ways you can spell a sound. For example, there is one card for Long A spellings which include: a-e (ate), ai (rain), ay (day), ey (they), ea (break), eigh (eight), ei (rein), aigh (straight). The card contains a sentence using all the spellings: "One day eight reins were not straight, so they took a break and ate in the rain". The sentence and picture tie together all the ways to spell Long A.
- Sound Spelling Teaching Cards pair with the first two resources. If you are teaching Long A spellings using Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns, you will find the Long A Display Card and post it. Next you will find the 8 Long A Teaching Cards in your kit. There is one card per spelling. So when you are teaching Long A you will use the specific card for the spelling you are teaching that day. When you have taught that particular spelling, you can display the Teaching Card by the Display Card and let the cards accumulate there until you have taught all 8 spellings.
What the Kit will do:
Teaching all the ways to spell the sounds we can hear in words will help bring order and sense to our very confusing language. Children will quickly learn that there are predictable patterns in the English language that they can learn to recognize easily. Spellings they learn in short, easy words (such as the ay in day) they will recognize in longer words such as in the word maybe or playmate. Learning sound spellings will help kids who struggle spot those spellings in their reading. Recognizing their old friends in harder, longer words will give them the ability to quickly figure out new words without stress.
How to Start:
- Read the beginning sections in The Illustrated Book of Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns. Know ahead of time that this is a very different approach, but one that will help make learning easy for your students. They won't be learning to spell words by memorizing the names of the letters in the words. They will be focusing on hearing individual sounds in words and then writing the letters that represent those sounds. This way, we bypass ineffective memorization of word spellings.
- If you are teaching one child, scan the lessons beginning with Lesson One. Your goal is to find the first lesson that includes spellings you are positive your child doesn't know well. Once you have identified that lesson, go back a page or two and start with a lesson that you are pretty sure your child can do easily. The reason for doing this is that you will both have a chance to learn the routine without also having to deal with unknown material. Just follow the Fundamentals (see p. vii) and the Daily Routine (see p. xiii). If you are teaching a class, group the class according to the level they are ready for in case you have some newbies and some more advanced students. I would definitely recommend using this Kit with your whole class rather than reserving it for those who struggle because even your advanced children will have plenty to learn!
- Find and post the Sounds Display Card that relates to the lesson you are teaching. Find the Teaching Card that corresponds to the spellings of that sound. Introduce the lesson by pointing out the Display card. Say, "We are learning how to spell the Long A sound, and here is a picture about Long A." Then read the sentence and tell your child that the words that have red letters in them show the ways you can spell Long A, but today we are just going to practice with ay.
- Show the child(ren) the Teaching Card that corresponds to the spelling you will teach today. For example, show the ay card (card 49) and mention that the sun behind the a shows that it is day. Then read the sentence, "I say, 'Today, I may stay and play all day in the spray!'" It would be helpful for you to then write all the ay words in a column on your own whiteboard so that the ays line up. Children will be able to see the pattern and will come to recognize ay wherever else they see it.
- Find the corresponding lesson in Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns. In this case, you will use page 15 which has three Long A sound spellings. If you are teaching ay, pay attention only to the column on the right. The children will highlight all the ays they find in the bold words. Follow the directions for Daily Routine.
Final Words:
Always follow the pace of your students. At first, they will need more time with each lesson because they are also learning to move away from habits of trying to sound out words and memorize letter spellings and towards listening to sounds they hear in words and representing those sounds with spelling patterns they are learning. But once they complete the switch to learning this new, more effective way, learning a new lesson will be rapid!
In my own experience as a Title 1 director, I was taught groups in K through 7th grades in small groups. About half way through the school year, my students had gotten so comfortable with this way of learning that they literally would enter the room, ask for their paper, scan the top to locate the sound spellings for the day, and start highlighting on their own. Then we'd read the sentences together and many of them would turn their paper over and say, "Test me!"
In addition, these students who entered the Title 1 program because they were failing spelling, and were multiple grade levels behind in reading, advanced so much in one year that they were all at grade level or higher by the end of the school year. Their personal goal had become to score only 100% on any assessment we gave. This is the power of teaching in a way that suits right-brained learners! - Sarah Major, M.Ed.

Ben Davey, CEO of Barclays Ventures, shares his experience of chairing the judging panel for the Fast Track 100 Disruptors to Watch in the article published in The Sunday Times on 1 December 2019.
The Disruptors to Watch list, now in its fourth year, aims to highlight 10 companies with disruptive potential from a cross-section of industries. The 10 companies selected have raised more than £550m from investors. Last year's winner, Graphcore, the Bristol-based computer processor manufacturer founded in 2016, is now worth an estimated £1.3bn.
We're especially delighted that Cambridge Eagle Labs alumnus, Prowler AI, has been selected as a disruptor in this year's list following Five AIs shortlist last year.
