[GUIDE] OnePlus One - How to Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery and Root
Spoiler: information/dummy proof steps.
Rooting this device is actually quite a simple and easy process. Before you begin, it is recommended that you at least try to understand what each part of the process will do. Although this guide will elongate each step in order to show all of the details, the method used can be broken up into 3 main steps: Unlocking the Bootloader, Installing a Custom Recovery and finally Rooting. Each new step relies on the previous step to have been completed, and a basic summary of each part is:
Unlocking Bootloader: Opens the door to the internal memory of the device to be written on to. This allows you to flash images onto the main partitions of the phone.
Installing a Custom Recovery: A custom recovery is flashed onto the recovery partition of the device and overwrites the stock recovery that exists by default. Custom recoveries bring lots of functionality and give you the ability to perform wipes, install flashable zips, create full backups of your NAND (Nandroid backup), and various other features. An unlocked bootloader is needed to install a custom recovery.
Rooting: You can gain root by either flashing via recovery a pre-rooted custom rom, or flashing a zip containing the SuperSU binaries. A custom recovery is necessary to do this.

Spoiler: Features v1.3:

Keeping the office spotlessly clean should be one of the main concerns for businesses. It's only natural to expect employees to clean up after themselves in their work place. But, it's also up to the owner or head of a company to set an example and lead an orderly as well as a religiously cleaned office.
Employees, employers and clients, all interact and spend lots of hours milling about in an office space. This means that large amounts of paperwork will pile up, as well as coffee…Continue

Dr. Ciocchetti was born in Portland, Oregon and was raised in Arvada, Colorado. She earned a bachelor's degree in Biology and Religious Studies from the University of Denver. She then earned her medical degree from the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. Wanting to come home to Colorado, she completed her general surgery residency at Saint Joseph Hospital.
Dr. Ciocchetti has always wanted to use her knowledge, work ethic and skills to improve the quality of life for others. "It is my honor and privilege to assist my patients and their families. Most days, I am meeting someone on the worst day of their life. The ability to fix life-threatening problems and then assist my patients in getting back to their daily routine is what I love about being a surgeon. It lines up exactly with my values: to make the world a little bit better by the end of the day than it was when I got out of bed that morning."
While Dr. Ciocchetti is trained in all areas of general surgery, her areas of clinical interest include:
When she is not at work, Dr. Ciocchetti enjoys traveling with her husband and two daughters. She owns and operates a medical spa in north Denver, and also bakes a mean cherry pie.
Dr. Ciocchetti is honored to return to SCL Health in 2017 after spending seven years in private practice in North Denver. She is excited to be a partner in Downtown Surgery Specialists and to help bring quality emergent and elective surgical care to our downtown campus.

Airline earnings are set to advance 10 percent to a record $36.3 billion in 2016, aided by cheap fuel and an expanding U.S. economy, the International Air Transport Association said after boosting its estimate for the current year by $3.7 billion.
Dear Sir or Madam: You are cordially invited to join about 38.1 million of your friends in the air during the holidays. Yep, that's about how many passengers are expected to fly on U.S. airlines during the 17-day holiday period running from Dec. 18 through Jan. 3, an increase of more than 3 percent from last year.

Mavic has been pioneering new technologies in cycling since its creation in 1889, and it recently announced that for spring '09 it is set to apply that practice to a full range of cycling footwear, apparel and accessories.
Although it may not be your first instinct to say Mavic is as synonymous with clothing as it is with wheel innovation, you may be surprised to know that Mavic has been responsible for all aspects of adidas cycling soft goods and products for the last five years.
Our Mavic source tells us that, in the meantime, the supply of adidas cycling products will not be affected, but the dedicated team are already hard at work on the Mavic line-up, which will include products for triathlon, road, track, and mountain bike.

Hollywood Actress Naomi Watts says she hardly ever wears make-up when she's not working because she struggles to put it on.
"I rarely wear any in my day-to-day life, mostly because I'm horrible at applying it,"
Watts was quoted as saying by HELLO! magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
However, the 46-year-old has said there are times when she has to wear heavy make-up ten hours a day for three months whilst she works on films.
Asked about her favourite skincare product, the "Birdman" actress said: "Cleanser is really important to me, especially as I wear too much make-up most of the time when filming".
"I do shoots that are ten or 12 weeks long, wearing make-up for ten hours a day under lights that push it into your skin. It's then reapplied and layered on. So to cleanse well and take care of my skin is important," she added.

"Appearing on KABC's McIntyre in the Morning, the hosts of the show were expecting Dr. Drew, known as "America's most trusted physician," to debunk claims that Hillary is having significant health problems, but Pinsky instead dropped several bombshells.
Pinsky said he and his colleague Dr. Robert Huizenga had already analyzed what medical records on Hillary had been released and were "gravely concerned….not just about her health but her health care."
Pinsky noted that after her fall, Hillary suffered from a "transverse sinus thrombosis," an "exceedingly rare clot" that "virtually guarantees somebody has something wrong with their coagulation system."
"What's wrong with her coagulation system, has that been evaluated?" asked Dr. Drew, adding, that Hillary was being given "weird" medication that could be exacerbating her health problems.
"So the very medicine doctors are using may be causing this problem and they're using an old fashioned medicine to treat it – what is going on with her health care?" asked Pinsky.
Pinsky said the situation was "bizarre," adding that Hillary's medical condition was "dangerous" and "concerning".
Dr. Drew also highlighted when Hillary had to wear prism glasses after her fall, declaring, "that is brain damage, and so that's affecting her balance….tell us a little more about that – that's profound."
Pinsky pointed out that the treatment for Hillary's hypothyroidism – Armour Thyroid – was also "unconventional" and that it has "weird side-effects".
According to RXList.com, those side-effects include "severe dizziness," while WebMD lists another side-effect as "tiredness".
Dr. Drew emphasized that the health care Hillary has been receiving is totally inadequate, commenting, "she's receiving 1950s-level care by our evaluation."
"You gotta wonder," concluded Pinsky, noting that Hillary's health care could make her physical capabilities a "concern" ahead of the presidential election."

In 2017, the real estate technology sector raised over $5 billion in funding – more than 150 times than what was raised in 2010. Once a sector largely overlooked by investors, two out of the three most valuable private companies in the United States, WeWork & Airbnb, are products of a booming RE tech space. To understand how technology is affecting the CRE world today, we put together an extensive eBook that dives into the major technology categories emerging in CRE. Click the button below to download:
This eBook covers 5 major topics:
- CRE Tech At A Glance
- Despite being a $15 trillion asset class, the CRE space has historically been looked upon as a tough market for technology and disruption. Still, a few major players have managed to be successful. We take a look at "Complimentary", "Challenger", and the "Synthesis" phases of CRE technology of the past 30 years.
- Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is a suite of technologies and applications that equip devices and locations to generate all kinds of information—and to connect those devices and locations for instant data analysis and, ideally, "smart" actions. These technologies have the potential to have a massive impact on the CRE industry.
- Co-working & Space Arbitrage
Co-working and space arbitrage have changed the way we think about the utilization of existing spaces. While co-working space makes up only a small percentage of the total available CRE office space, no segement of the market has demostrated more overall growth than co-working.
- Data & Personalization
In today's hyper-connected world, the age of personalization is revolutionizing consumer experiences across almost every industry. Millennials place a huge premium on workplace technology. Not only are they more apt to quit a job over poor technology, 8 in 10 would be influenced to take or decline a new role because of it.
- Digital Hospitality & Amenities
To compete for the best tenants, landlords must help tenants compete for the best employees, and amenities are a major recruiting tool. Forward thinking landlords are leveraging technology to help tenants tackle the "second shift". The "second shift" refers to chores employees need to do when they leave their day jobs. Removing these annoyances frees employees up to focus more on their workday productivity.

Our mission is to bring you the contemporary channeled messages of Jesus and the Holy Saints
We invite you to join us on our YouTube channel where you can watch our channeling sessions, our Facebook group, Words of God Then and Now
or my personal Facebook page.
On March 17th, Jesus channeled a message concerning the Coronavirus. Here is that message.
I have asked to speak with all of you tonight because I know that many of you are very fearful of what is taking place around you. It is something that none of you are used to. It is something that many of you are doubtful as to how it will end. I want to assure you tonight that I am watching over all of you. I am going to make sure that nothing will destroy your country or lead any of you to ever doubt my presence. I love each and every one of you. I watch over all of you and I specially hear your prayers to me. Know that your prayers are heard!
I will make sure that even though there will be many that suffer, the effects of this virus will be minimal. Your country is undergoing an emergency that has been started by others that are enemies of your great United States. Others know that the United States represents the principles that I instilled in your founding fathers. There are other countries that fear that your country will remain the shining star that leads the world in freedom of religion, speech and the many things that all you hold dear.
I know that all of you are currently suffering. Many of you fear that you will be unemployed, many of your fear that it will affect members of your family. I want to assure you that what your government is doing will pay dividends in the long run. You will all go thru a time of uncertainty with this, but it will be relatively short. What you must do is learn to love your neighbors, help those that need help, be firm in standing for your principles and let others come to you for advice.
It will do you no good to have worry in your hearts. That worry will lead to despair and a feeling that you have no control over the events that are taking place. There will be a time, in the not too distant future, where your lives will return to normality. Just know that your love for me will be your protection! Pray to me! Pray to my Archangels! Pray to my Holy Saints that serve me! Many of these spirits have come thru for you in the past with their messages. You can go back and listen to these wonderful messages and you will get a better understanding of how your world is cared for, watched and blessed over by all of these holy forms. Use this time that you have to repair family relationships that have been strained in the past. Use this time to reaffirm your faith in God. All of these things will pay benefits for you in the future. Drive hatred from your heart and know that all will be well.
I hope my words have served to be a calming influence to you tonight. I can come forward to you in the future should I feel it is necessary. You are approaching the time that you celebrate my death and my resurrection. This is a very important time not only for Christianity but for other religions. I want all of you to practice the love that I showed when I walked the Earth. So, I hope that with these words I have been able to help you understand that your future is not as dark as it looks at this time. So, I am now going to leave you. Know that I have blessed each and every one of you. I hope that you have felt my loving energy tonight and I hope that I have been able to instill a confidence that all will truly be well for you. So, with these words I am going to say good night. God has blessed all of you and he will continue to bless all of you in the future and God is your protection and God is your way forward out of this time of stress.

Topcon Europe Medical B.V, International Account Manager, Product Specialist
Purpose: This paper describes a novel approach for automatic 3D mesh extraction and quantification in retina swept source oct-angio imaging without human intervention, based on three consecutive novel methods
Methods: FDTR (Filtering/Detecting/Tracking/Rebuilding)
The defined steps are described as a) developing and applying a novel bio-selective filter (Bteiche-Hancock) (b) detect (using deep learning method, features classification) and track neo-vasculature structure using enhanced multiple instances learning temporal tracking algorithm (c) extracting 2D meshwork and build 3D using cubic neighborhood bifurcation and splines fitting technique.
Results: Specificity of retina layers' filter between IPL and RPE is a must, in order to countermeasure a multiplicative speckle noise while enhancing neo-vascular structure view and detection. Extraction of NVs through temporal tracking can be achieved using an adapted multi-instance learning tracker through retina multi-frames.
3D structure reconstruction can be operated by extrapolating the skeletonizing/neighborhood detection of bifurcation; then apply splines fitting to smooth the results.
Conclusions: Detection and extraction of non-uniform structures within the retina layers will open widely the door to 3D structural clinical analysis and achieve faster and more accurate diagnosis for retinal diseases through the different layers of the retina. This step will empower the clinician to understand more the progression a disease while comparing its progression in 3D and will open widely the door for more comprehensive data collection for AI to conquer the early detection and progress of diseases.

An anal fissure is an anal tear or crack, in the lining of the anal canal - a cut or tear in the anus that extends into the anal canal. It is a common cause of red blood in the stool (feces) and toilet paper.
According to rectal (colorectal) doctors, approximately one tenth of all patient visits are for anal fissures. Patients commonly feel pain during and after a bowel movement.
Although most anal fissures are less than one centimeter across, the anus is a highly sensitive part of the body; pain symptoms tend to be worse than one would expect from such a small tear.
In this article we will cover the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of anal fissures, and cover way in which they can be prevented.
Here are some key points about anal fissures. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
- damage to the lining of the anus is a common cause
- in some cases they are idiopathic (no known cause)
- approximately 10 percent of people are affected in their lifetime
- staying hydrated may help prevent anal fissures
Anal fissure symptoms
A common symptom of anal fissures is blood in stool.
The main signs and symptoms of an anal fissure include:
Pain - especially when passing stools. During the passing of a stool the pain is sharp, and then afterward there may be a longer deep burning sensation. Fear of pain may put some patients off going to the toilet, increasing their risk of constipation.
Unfortunately, after delaying going, when the person does go there is likely to be more pain and tearing because the stools will be harder and larger. Some people may experience a sharp pain when they clean themselves with toilet paper.
Blood - because the blood is fresh, it will be bright red and may be noticed on the stools or the toilet paper. Anal fissures in infants commonly bleed.
Itching - in the anal area. The sensation may be intermittent or persistent.
Dysuria - discomfort when urinating (less common). Some patients may urinate more frequently.
Anal fissure causes
- Constipation - large, hard feces (stools) are more likely to result in lesions in the anal area during a bowel movement than soft and smaller ones.
- Diarrhea - repeated diarrhea can cause an anal fissure to develop.
- Muscle spasms - experts believe that anal sphincter muscle spasms may increase the risk of developing an anal fissure. A spasm is a brief, automatic jerking muscle movement, when the muscle can suddenly tighten. Muscle spasms may also undermine the healing process.
- Pregnancy and childbirth - pregnant women have a higher risk of developing an anal fissure towards the end of their pregnancy. The lining of the anus may also tear during childbirth.
- STIs (sexually-transmitted infections) - also known as STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are linked to a higher risk of having anal fissures. Examples include syphilis, HIV, HPV (human papillomavirus), herpes and Chlamydia.
- Underlying conditions - some underlying conditions, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and other inflammatory bowel diseases may cause ulcers to form in the anal area.
- Anal sex - can in rare instances cause anal fissures.
Two muscular rings (sphincters) control the anus - the outer ring is consciously controlled; the inner ring is not. The inner sphincter is under constant pressure. Experts believe that, if the pressure gets too much, the inner sphincter might spasm, reducing blood flow, increasing the risk of a fissure.
Anal fissures: Who is at risk?
Anal fissures can affect people of any age or sex equally. It is the most common cause of rectal bleeding in babies and children. Some children may find the sight of bright red blood in stools and toilet paper distressing.
In most cases, anal fissures resolve without the need for medical treatment or surgery. Topical creams and/or suppositories and OTC painkillers may help with symptoms. Some people, however, may experience chronic problems if the lesion fails to heal correctly.
An anal fissure that lasts less than 6 weeks is called an acute anal fissure. A chronic anal fissure has symptoms for longer than 6 weeks. A primary anal fissure has no identifiable cause, while a secondary anal fissure does have an identifiable cause.
Diagnosis of an anal fissure
A doctor will usually be able to diagnose an anal fissure after a physical examination of the anal area. If nothing is visible, gentle pressure onto the anal area will often result in pain if there is an anal fissure.
Rectal exam
A rectal exam involves inserting a gloved finger or small instrument into the rectum. Usually, however, the doctor will not do this because it may cause too much pain. A specialist may apply anesthesia to the area before a rectal exam.
If the doctor suspects there may be something more serious, the patient will be referred to a specialist.
Sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy
A rigid or flexible viewing tube is used to inspect inside the anus and rectum. This diagnostic test may be ordered if the doctor wants to rule out a more serious disease of the anus.
Treatments for an anal fissure
Ointment is a common treatment for anal fissures.
In most cases, an anal fissure will resolve itself within a few weeks. The doctor may recommend some medications to relieve symptoms of pain, burning, or discomfort. If the patient is suffering from constipation, a laxative may be prescribed.
The individual will also be encouraged to increase their dietary fiber intake, which will help soften the stools. The National Health Service (NHS), United Kingdom, says that adults should aim for at least 18 grams of fiber each day.
There is a risk of stomach cramps, wind, bloating, and diarrhea if the fiber intake increase is rapid and too high.
The increase should be done gradually.The patient should make sure they are drinking plenty of fluids, preferably water.
The doctor may recommend a topical anesthetic. Topical means it is applied directly to the skin. For the prolonged burning sensation after going to the toilet, Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen may help (patients should ask their doctors for guidance). Some patients find that a warm (not too hot) bath helps relax the muscles and ease the pain.
Topical nitroglycerin medication helps speed up lesion healing by dilating the blood vessels in the area. A doctor may prescribe this medication if healing is slower than expected.
Calcium channel blockers
A medication originally designed to bring down high blood pressure; it also relaxes the sphincter muscle, as well as increasing the supply of blood to the affected area, which speeds up healing.
A steroid cream/ointment
This will reduce inflammation around the lesion, which may help with symptoms of itching and pain.
Botulinum toxin (botox)
Used successfully for many disorders with muscle spasms.
If the fissure is chronic (long-term) and does not heal, surgery may be an option.
A portion of the anal sphincter muscle is surgically removed, resulting in fewer and less severe spasms - this procedure is known as Internal sphincterotomy.
A fissurectomy is the surgical removal of the fissure - this procedure is rare and may be used in children.
Anal fissure prevention
The following are tips for preventing an anal fissure:
- Keep stools soft - eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of fiber. Make sure fluid/liquid intake is adequate - remember that water is the best fluid.
- Don't delay using the bathroom - waiting means that when stools eventually come through, they will be larger and harder.
- Babies - frequent diaper changes can reduce the risk of anal fissures developing in babies.
- "Sharp" foods - avoid foods that may not be well-digested, such as nuts and popcorn.
- Wiping - if an individual is susceptible, using moistened cloths or cotton pads to clean after using the bathroom can help. Avoid rough and/or perfumed toilet paper.
- Exercise - regular exercise can reduce the risk of developing constipation, resulting in less risk of anal fissures. Stay well hydrated during and after exercise.
- Straining - avoid straining and sitting on the toilet for a long time.

(Maineville, Ohio)

Confused about what to prepare for camp? What is Blue and Gold?
What to expect at a Pack meeting? Den meetings?
This is the place to start.
When you join Pack 417, we want to make you feel welcome. We have put together this list to help you jump right in and feel prepared for camp-outs, meetings and events. Please feel free to reach out to your Den Leaders, Pack Leaders or Committee Chair, should you have further questions.
Link to video "What are the top five questions new parents had about Cub Scouting when they first joined?"
Once a month all Dens meet together for a "Pack Meeting", which all Cub Scouts and their families are encouraged to attend. During the Pack meeting, Dens show off the projects they have been working on, lead songs, perform skits, and awards are presented to the Scouts. It is a time for the family to get information on upcoming activities and share in the Scouting spirit. Scouts should wear their Class A uniform to Pack meetings. At the beginning of each Pack meeting, the Scout will be checked in and if they are wearing their uniform it will be noted. At the end of the Scouting year, there will be a uniform party as a reward for those Scouts that wore their uniforms to Pack meetings. All Pack meetings are held at Deerfield United Methodist Church, unless otherwise noted. Pack meetings are typically held at 6:30pm.
In general, Den meetings are held twice a month and provide your Scout with opportunities to enjoy various planned activities, learn new skills, and have great fun. While parental attendance is not required at Den meetings (except for Lions and Tigers), it is certainly encouraged! Some Dens may require parent participation at specific meetings. Please keep in touch with your Scout's Den Leader so that you will know what activities are taking place and can track the progress your Scout is making. All Den meetings are held at Deerfield United Methodist Church, unless otherwise noted. Den meetings are typically held at 6:30pm.
Scouting is an outdoor-based program. Camping is permitted by Cub Scouts only in an age-appropriate context. Scouts must have an adult family member with them at all times when camping. If your Scout wishes to attend only the daytime activities of a Family Camp out, you must make prior arrangements with another adult to take responsibility for your Scout, if you cannot stay with them. You will need to fill out an emergency medical form at the beginning of the year that will cover all camp-outs for that Scouting year. Bring all of the equipment you will need to enjoy the camp-out: tent, sleeping bag, lanterns, bug spray, etc. Usually the Pack will provide the main meals.
Every year the Pack participates in the Boy Scout Popcorn Sale. The sale usually occurs in August through October, with deliveries in November and is the major fundraising activity of our Pack. All Scout participate in this event and receive prizes and other recognition. It is also a way for the Scout to build up their Scout account to pay for Pack dues, camp-outs, etc.
The Pack relies heavily on the funds generated by this fundraiser. Everyone's participation is expected and appreciated.
Each year the Cub Scouts celebrate the anniversary of the founding of Scouting in the U.S. by having a Blue and Gold Banquet. This is traditionally a dinner (either catered or potluck) where the entire family is encouraged to attend.
If you are interested in assisting with the banquet, please contact the Pack Committee Chair, Jill Johnson.
The Pinewood Derby is one of the most popular family activities of Cub Scouting. Pinewood derby cars are small wooden models that Cub Scouts make with help from their families. Then they race the cars in competition. The cars are powered by gravity and run down a track.
This is a ceremony where the Arrow of Light Scouts "crossover" into becoming Boy Scouts. It is usually held in the the Spring time, so that the Scouts can get acclimated to their new Troop.
This is held at the end of the Scouting year. When a Scout has completed all of the achievements required of a rank, they have the opportunity to advance up to the next rank.

What's good for Cuba could be bad for its neighbors
Cuba is riding a wave of popularity with travelers.
The country's relationship with the United States is gradually warming, putting tourism in the minds of many Americans (even before they're legally allowed to visit), while encouraging travelers from other countries (like Canada) to get in a last trip before everything changes.
Although increased tourism from the U.S. could be a boon for Cuban businesses, there are some people who are concerned: notably, tourism businesses and officials in other Caribbean countries.
Seventy percent of visitors to Caribbean destinations come from the U.S., according to the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA). Interest in Cuba, so the thinking goes, could take visitors away from nearby destinations, including the Bahamas and Jamaica.
In the first five months of this year, U.S. travel to Cuba increased 36%, and travelers from other countries increased 14%. Growth has been strong in many different sectors of the island's tourism industry. Since 2012, Cuba has experienced a five-fold increase in cruise tourism.
The cruise line business is headed to Cuba.......Bahamas must take note! https://t.co/3m9ES6wB4E

"It's a wake-up call," said CHTA CEO Frank Comito, according to the Miami Herald. "If we don't make the pie larger, when we've inserted this big player, the pie gets smaller for all of us."
CHTA describes the possibility of an open Cuba as "the biggest and most disruptive pebble to be dropped into the Caribbean pool in 50 years," although the association does not oppose the U.S. lifting its embargo on Cuba.
Editorials at publications in neighboring Caribbean countries suggest that feelings about this issue are mixed: Cuba has been described as both "a growing threat" and potential partner.
Hopeful Caribbean leaders see the lifting of restrictions as an opportunity for the entire region to prosper. According to Cuba's government, it would lead to an increase of 1.5 million American travelers per year. However, the estimate does not include predictions on how many of those would be new travelers to the Caribbean (and therefore an increase of the total "pie").
