VoLTE is one of the words you will have heard and read a lot about over the last year and even more so if you are a T-Mobile customer. As the ability to make use of Voice over LTE is likely to be an aspect which will greater improve your call experience. That said, if you are a T-Mobile customer, then to make use of VoLTE, you do need to have a device which is compatible with T-Mobile's band 12. An aspect which seems to have been problematic for a number of devices so far, both old and new and even including the likes of Google's Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P.
The issue arises from the certification T-Mobile needs devices to have to make use of band 12 and as a result T-Mobile kindly did ask manufacturers to remove the support for band 12 while awaiting certification. This included the Nexus 5X and 6P and in spite of Google stating that the two Nexus devices will support T-Mobile's band 12 by the shipping date. In fact, the latest on this issue came a few weeks ago when T-Mobile announced that they were still working on the issue, although at the time they failed to provide any concrete information on when it would likely be ready. And this was again in spite of the Nexus 6P suddenly listing band 12 support on the T-Mobile support pages.
Well, today saw Google release the latest update for Nexus devices in the form of Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow). An update which saw the factory images become available for most Nexus devices including the 5X and 6P. Since then, reports are steadily coming in that the update seems to bring with it support for band 12 on T-Mobile. At the moment, there has not been any official word from either T-Mobile or Google on band 12 and the update, although, the support does seem to be included. For now, once the update does begin a more widespread roll out and lands on more devices, it is likely that more reports will make it clearer as to whether the support has been fully activated. Although, for now, it does seem that the latest Nexus update is bringing with it support for band 12.

Customer review
Thats not a moon..
A great card for sure. Better looking than the Gamerock / Gainward cards for sure. Super quick and a real beast of a card sizewise. I can play most games on ultra and run 3 x screens no problem. The speed of the super jetstream is faster than the 1080 jetstream.! But the 1080 has a lot more stream processors.
In terms of pricepoint - this is the card. I paid £380 from OC which is a good price.
I set the card so that the palit logo represents the heat. I have never had the card run hot. The most it will do is tuen blue when I'm running 3 x screens of asetto corsa. Its runnng over 160fps. Blue = 45 degrees (which is nothing).
Cons - if you wnted to do sli I'd pick another card because its a little too big to be honest.
overall - highly recommened.
Amazing card and amazing service.
ordered this card yesterday, received it today. Awesome service from OCUK.
The card itself is amazing it destroys every game at maxxed out 1080p, stays extremely cool and I don't think its even possible to hear the fans even at max load.
one thing to watch out for is the actual size of the card, it's massive! i was actually scared it wasn't gonna fit in my case at first.
5 stars
upgraded from a r9 290 gigabyte...and i have also a 4k iiyama 28" monitor.( with freesync(adaptive sync on nvidia, works perfect)
in Doom open gl or vulkan on ultra..4k easy..
Bf4 4k ultra ..easy
star wars battlefront ultra 4k..easy..
temps are quite low..dead silent card
you need thunder master to play with led colors cuz geforce experience is not working.
highly recommended

The Change Your Life Book
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Bill O'Hanlon
Narrated By: Andrew Mulcare
Publisher: Wetware Media
Date: November 2012
Duration: 1 hours 29 minutes
Making dramatic life changes can be difficult. The true secret to life-long transformation, according to certified professional counselor Bill O'Hanlon, is to take baby steps; small, subtle changes will yield profound and lasting results when added together. In this concise book, O'Hanlon shares his simple formula for making the small changes that lead to big shifts: Change the Doing, Change the Viewing, and Change the Setting. Each simple concept is illustrated with examples of everyday challenges with easy-to-implement experiments for affecting transformation, as in this example from "Change the Viewing":
Don't expect, be happy: Ken Keyes developed a simple strategy to be happy: Expect everyone and everything to be exactly as it is. When you are upset, he suggests, it is only because your expectations haven't been fulfilled and you are demanding that reality be as you want it to be, rather than how it is. So expect things to be as they are, and you'll be happy.
For the next day or so, every time something happens within you or out in the world that could upset you, shift into expecting it to be exactly as it is. Tell yourself it is exactly as it is supposed to be.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of more than thirty books, O'Hanlon understands that it often takes only simple adjustments to create a better life. With a therapist's keen understanding of what works, O'Hanlon offers straightforward advice that is reminiscent of chatting with a dear friend for achieving simple yet significant life changes.
O'Hanlon has appeared on a variety of radio and television programs including Oprah and Today.

Trending on Twitter is the hashtag #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. It was started and initiated by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP). A VA study says that 20 veterans commit suicide each day. A former Navy gunman and retired police officer, Peter Kaisen who was 76, killed himself in the parking lot of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Northport, NY. What happened to Peter is not uncommon. The suicide rate and the invisible injuries of our veterans and active duty military is a stain on America. There is not nearly enough being done and we must put an end to this plight. The veteran, their families, and friends have already sacrificed enough when the victim was on active duty. This is just added sorrow on the lives of everyone surrounding the victim of suicide.
I'd like to direct your attention to a wonderful organization started by two amazing and strong people who I know personally, The Heart of A Marine Foundation. They are doing amazing work with both veterans and active duty military members in many different areas. They aren't one of these faceless "supercharities" and they report what they are doing, what they have purchased, and how much money was invested in each specific project on their website.
Please consider making a donation to this foundation so that they can continue the great work they are doing in their community. As a country, we must do better for those that have given so much for us. The veteran and active duty military member must take priority over pretty much every public service available. Instead of performing a $2.6 million study to get prostitutes in China to drink less, why don't we become more concerned and divert the funds to ensure our veterans have a place to turn to instead of them having their final moment looking down the barrel of a gun? We like to claim moral superiority over the rest of the world, well, it is about time we put our braggadocious slogans into practice. We must put a stop to this cancer on our nation. Our best and bravest deserve better than this.
The Heart Of A Marine Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides comfort, support, financial assistance, and educational resources to improve the quality of life of military personnel in ALL BRANCHES of the United States Armed Forces, including veterans, and their families.

text: Home Fresh Scoops Andi Eigenmann hints about the identity of the father of her child Andi Eigenmann hints about the identity of the father of her child Speculations that Albie Casiño is the father of Andi Eigenmann's child strengthen. BY NAPOLEON QUINTOS FRESH SCOOPS 7/2/2011 1:14 AM Save Through her Twitter account, Andi Eigenmann finally spoke about the ongoing mystery regarding the identity of the "ex-boyfriend" who got her pregnant. In her Twitter post last June 30 at 8:10 pm, the 21-year-old teleserye star cleared Jake Ejercito, son of former president Joseph Estrada. Andi said, "For your better understanding, I've only had one boyfriend before Jake whom I've only been seeing for the past two months. Therefore, Jake cannot be the said ex-boyfriend whom everyone has been talking about."This strengthens speculations that Albie Casiño, best known for appearing in the teleserye Mara Clara, is the father of Andi's child. Andi and Albie had a relationship even before they both entered showbiz. Andi is now four months pregnant. In her interview with TV Patrol, Andi's mother Jaclyn Jose said the father is the "first boyfriend" of her daughter. Albie has yet to make a statement about the matter, but his mother, Rina Casiño, wrote on her Twitter account that her son is not the first boyfriend of Andi. She also said in a recent radio interview that she has no problem if it will be proven that Albie is the father of the child, but she also welcomes having a DNA test just to be sure.Andi's home network, ABS-CBN, has also released a statement in light of this controversy. The young star is currently seen on the Kapamilya primetime teleserye Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, and also a contract talent of Star Magic, the artist management arm of ABS-CBN. The official statement signed by ABS-CBN Head of Corporate Communications, Bong Osorio, read, "We respect the wishes of Andi's family for her as the Kapamilya network is with her during this delicate time."Because of Andi's condition, many assumed that she will be pulled out from Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. But according to Biboy Arboleda, advertising and promotions manager of the program, Andi will stay on with the teleserye. "Andi Eigenmann is with MLKI. That's the official statement. Nothing more. Salamat."—with additional reports from abs-cbnnews.com Tags: Celebrity 0 SHOW COMMENTS

Just had to share. Josie is an amazing and entertaining puppy. We love her dearly. Her disposition is the best. Liz you do a great job breeding the perfect Chi. Josie just discovered how to go up a few stairs and is very proud of herself. By the way she is pretty much housebroken at 6 months! Never had a dog that was so sweet and smart and obedient.
And Guinness again! He is just so gorgeous we have to see him in action! Here's what his owner Matt said..
"One can not go wrong with a dog from Promise Land. Our dog, Guinness is probably the best dog I have ever seen. He is perfect!"
I just would like to add that our Gabby is the sweetest pup I've ever owned. She is such a cuddle bug. She sleeps with me every night. Sits on my lap wherever I am.
Her grown up weight ended topping off at 3.8 pounds. She is such a little peanut.
I just love her to death.
Thanks again for allowing me the opportunity to own one of your precious babies.
We wanted to wish you as much Joy as she has brought to us. Carol in PA
Here's a photo, taken this morning, of little Lena. She's a real joy; keeps us laughing with all her antics!
She has tons of energy, loves to play and is interested in investigating everything.
She's smart, clever and what a personality! Deb in Michigan
7/2016 She's a great dog!! Feisty, athletic, funny; never a dull moment w/Lena 😄 She's a beautiful dog Liz; I'm so lucky to have her!

1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil
3 cups puffed rice cereal
1/3 cup of the following (2 1/3 cup total mix ins):
flaked coconut
sunflower seeds
dried fruit mix
chocolate chunks
cacao nibs
ooh these are too simple not to put together with my fave add ins! i just finished my puffed rice supply.. time to hit the grocery store for more!
Finished my tag post too finally.!
I am so excited to read your tag post!Delete
Oh man, I love puffed rice cereal too! And I'm more of a solid three meals sort of person, but I used to be a grazer. With snacking you get to enjoy a wider variety of foods - yum!
I think since I started running I switched to meals, because I started getting a stitch in my stomach from eating either too much or too soon to my running. I can't eat within 2-3 hours of it for some reason. Haha.
Anyway, back to these bars! They sound absolutely delicious. And I'm pretty sure I have everything to make these in my kitchen. I love baking for everyone in my house, and I'm sure they will enjoy these. Can't wait!
Thanks for sharing Isobelle! My cousin and I are starting a running program starting April, it will be interesting to see if I end up switching to a more standard 3 meals a day.
Enjoy the Bars!
^5! your breakfast - english muffin with peanut butter and banana - is my pre-run snack. It always gives me just the right amount of energy to not die during my run lol
- Amy
Hi Amy! If I could, I would live off of Peanut Butter and Banana's, I am a tad addicted to chocolate peanut butter!Delete
This snack on the run is exactly what I need! Healthy delicious and absolutely perfect!
I love your pictures and recipes - thank you so much :D
Choc Chip Uru
I guess we balance each other out huh - with all your decidely delicous and sinful posts with a few of my healthy ones thrown in!Delete
Oh, I love this! I have a bunch of stuff in my pantry that's left over (kasha, a tbsp of unsweet. coconut, etc.)!
Now...I just need to find some puffed rice. The ones from Kashi are really like packing peanuts: they look like they can fly sometimes!
Packing Peanuts - YES that is the perfect description....I am not sure how people eat them as plain cereal - I loved them in bar form though!Delete
Yummy! I made something similar but with peanut butter or almond butter when I realized the puffed wheat(and a few other puffed grains!) were sitting in my cupboard for way too long, haha. Love this idea with coconut oil :DReplyDelete
Peanut Butter crossed my mind after the fact :) I love using up those "hmmm how long have you been hiding in there" pantry items, it definitely makes me feel less wasteful!Delete
i love puffed rice cereal! i used to eat a big bowl of it with nuts, banana, and soy milk. haven't had it in ages though.
i love this healthy bar recipe. so often they are loaded with unnecessary ingredients. this covers all the basis without a super long ingredient list!
Did you ever had the crazy golden crisps loaded with sugar? Technically I think they were puffed wheat not rice :)
I could see how the Banana, nuts and soy milk would improve the taste versus taking a heaping handful and shoveling that into my mouth!
no, i never had golden crisps. i would get a big bag of "puffed brown rice" at whole foods in the cereal isle. i'm pretty sure the only ingredients were brown rice and maybe sea salt.Delete
Haha - The Boyfriend just did basically the same thing. Found my bag of puffed rice and got all excited, thinking it would be sweet and crispy. Whoopsy!
I love the mix-ins you chose! I have a bag of puffed rice in my cupboard specifically for making bars like these. I like to mix together nutbutter, maybe mash a banana (for sweeetness) and add some protein powder. Then I stir in either puffed rice, rolled oats, or both, and freeze. Love the dried fruit and chocolate, though!
Haha glad I am not the only one that eats cereal straight from the box - sweet and crispy was totally what I was hoping for too!
I love your idea of adding in protein powder and nut butters - I am going to have to give that a try- what kind of protein powder do you use Willow?
These look so good - thanks for bringing these to my Potluck Party ;D
I also must say your photography is perfect. I love the clear refreshing look. Great job! xo
You are so sweet Ella - THANK YOU for the invite to the potluck; I am so happy to have found your blog - if you want to talk about perfect, i would say your blog is pretty perfect :)Delete
Glad to know that I am not the only terminal grazer. Much to my mother's dislike, I will eat small amounts all day, hence why I am addicted to these sorts of recipes (and bread!).
Only problem is that damn diet and PORTIONING..
This recipe turned out simply DELIGHTFUL...
Your recipes are simply divine. Definately going to 'stumble' on this page far more often! .

According to numerology, the numerical value of your name influences areas of your personal and professional development. This wikiHow will teach you how to calculate your name number in numerology.
Part 1
Assigning Numbers to Letters in Your Name
1Write out the alphabet from 'A' to 'Z.' On a piece of paper, write out all 26 letters in a horizontal line. Each letter is going to be assigned a different numerical value. You can also write the letters vertically; as long as they are in order and organized you can choose either direction.
2Assign each letter a digit from one to nine. Start with the letter A. Write a '1' next to it and then give each following letter the next number as you go in numerical order. For example, B will have a 2, and C is 3. Once you reach 'I' which is a '9,' start back at 1 as you continue along the alphabet.[1]
- Some sources only use digits one through eight, but there are 9 numerology name numbers, so be sure to use all nine digits when numbering the letters.
- The system can also be summarized like this:
3Write out your full name. To find out your true name number, you will need to use your full name. You can find your entire name on your birth certificate or an official identification document. Don't forget to include your middle name if you have one as well.
- If you have a name that's been passed down through your family, such as John Smith II, or you have unique prefixes or suffixes, include it as long as it is part of your full, official name.
- If you have legally changed your name, use that name since that is now how you identify yourself.
- You can use nicknames, but they won't give a completely accurate result.
4Match each letter in your name to its corresponding number. Now that each letter has a numerical value, you can start putting numbers with the letters in your name. Below where you have written your name, write each number that goes with each individual letter.
- You will have some duplicates, but that is not a problem.
- For example, if your name is John Jacob Smith, then all of the Js will get a 1, the Os will get a 6, the Hs will get an 8, and so on.
Part 2
Adding Together the Numbers
1Add together all of the letter's numbers. Using a calculator or a pencil and paper, add together every single digit from your name. If your name has 20 letters, you will be adding together 20 individual numbers. You will end up with a two-digit sum after adding everything together.
- For example, BATMAN is numbers 2+1+2+4+1+5, which equals 15.
2Reduce the sum of your name's numbers into a single digit. After you have added your numbers together, you will have a double or triple digit sum, if your name is long. To reduce the sum, add together the two digits within it. For example, if the sum of your letters is a 25, split the 25 and add 2+5 to equal 7. The 7 is your true name number.[2]
3Leave the Master Numbers as double digits. If you add up the letters in your name and you get a sum that equals either 11, 22, or 33, don't reduce them. These are the three Master numbers, which can add difficulty but also depth to the personality you are discovering or the topic of numerology you are studying. These three numbers have their own personality explanations.[3]
- Master numbers can be reduced, but only in certain situations. They are reduced when they are found within a date or number equation.
- For example, if a total sum is a Master number do not reduce it. But if there is a Master number within the equation, go ahead and reduce an 11 to a 2 or a 33 to a 6 to simplify the equation.[4]
Part 3
Discovering Your Personality Type
1Match your name number to the basic numbers of numerology. Once you have your name number, you can look up that number in a numerology chart to find out more about yourself. Whether you were intentionally named with a numerology result in mind or your name number is by chance, knowing your number sign can perhaps give you some insight into your personality.[5]
- Some sources differ slightly in their descriptions of each number, but overall their general descriptors remain similar:
- 1 – Initiator action, pioneering, leading, independent, attaining, individualistic
- 2 – Cooperation, adaptability, consideration of others, partnering, mediating
- 3 – Expression, verbalization, socialization, the arts, the joy of living
- 4 – Values foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth
- 5 – Expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom
- 6 – Responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, sympathy
- 7 – Analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious, meditating
- 8 – Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals
- 9 – Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression
- 11 – Higher spiritual plane, intuitive, illumination, idealist, a dreamer
- 22 – The Master Builder, large endeavors, powerful force, leadership
- Some sources differ slightly in their descriptions of each number, but overall their general descriptors remain similar:
2Discover your soul, destiny, and personality name number. Name numbers are often referred to by other names such as your life path number. There are also other variations that can reveal your soul's inner desires as well as subconscious dreams.
- Your soul number will tell you your likes, dislikes, and deepest desires. Assign only the vowels in your first name and last name numbers, add them to find the sum, and reduce the sum to find your soul number.
- Your personality, or inner dreams, number is found by giving only the consonant letters a number.
- To find your destiny name number, you will follow the same process to find your normal name number.
- When differentiating between vowels and consonants, treat Ys and Ws with special care. When Ys are used as a vowel and a W is paired with a vowel to create a vowel sound, such as 'Matthew,' then they are given numbers for a soul number.
- Conversely, if Ys and Ws are being used in a name as consonants, do not give them numbers for a personality name number.[6]
3Change your name to change your name number. If you find that you're unsatisfied with your name number results or you don't like your given name itself, you can always change your name. You may find that as you get older you want to be identified and called something else more suiting to your complex personality. Names aren't written in stone, just legally binding paper, but that can be fixed.[7]
- If you want to skip the courthouse, you can always ask people to call you by a nickname.
- A new name may take some time to catch on, but be consistent with correcting people nicely and signing your new name correctly to help it stick.
- You can even start by spelling your name differently to alter your name number results. For example, Tamra is an 8 but by spelling her name Tamara, she becomes a 9.
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I find my destiny number?Community AnswerYou can find your destiny number by assigning a number to each letter to your full name (first, middle, last) and then adding them all together.
QuestionWhat number is best in business?Community AnswerIt depends on how you want to do business. If you want to get along well with others, a 2 is good. If you want to be a competitive leader, then a 1 or 7 would do well.
QuestionHow do I calculate numerical number with the help of my birthdate, month, and year for astrology?Community AnswerFor using your birthday, take each part of your birth date, the month, day, and year, and assign them numbers. The day and year are already numbers. Then for the month, for example if we're using May, that would be a 5 since it is the fifth month in the calendar year. Add all of the numbers, reduce the sum to one digit, and that is your number.
QuestionHow should I sign my name?Community AnswerAlways sign at a 45-degree angle from left to right with your full name pointing upwards. Do not strike or put a full stop at the end of your signature.
QuestionHow do I reduce 101?Community AnswerYou add all of the numbers together. 1 + 0 + 1 = 2, so your answer is reduced to 2.
QuestionI had a different name at birth, it was changed when I was adopted. What name would I use?Community AnswerYou would use the name that you prefer, and that you feel most defines you. In your case, I would assume that would be your adopted name.
QuestionDid I do numerology with the married name or given name?Community AnswerUse your birth name.
QuestionIs it unlucky if I am currently age 13?Community AnswerIt is not unlucky. That is just your physical age and has absolutely nothing to do with good luck or bad luck.
QuestionIs a surname to be added for numerology calculations?Community AnswerYes, it is. You are supposed to use your whole name for numerology calculations. It makes it much more accurate.
QuestionWhat's the best date for a wedding in Numerology?Community AnswerThe 31st of September is the best date.
How many letters should a name be in numerology?

The pharmaceutical industry discovers, develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceutical drugs for use as medications.Pharmaceutical companies may deal in generic or brand medications and medical devices. They are subject to a variety of laws and regulations that govern the patenting, testing, safety, efficacy and marketing of drugs.
Physical Characterization of Pharmaceuticals
Porosity and surface area play major roles in the purification, processing, blending, tableting, and packaging of pharmaceutical products as well as a drug's useful shelf life, its dissolution rate, and bio-availability
Pharmaceutical Color Measurement
Today's pharmaceutical market is vastly different from the first pills of ancient Egypt, which were small round balls containing medicinal ingredients and mixed with clay or bread. Today's gel caps boast over 80,000 color combinations, and continuous advancements in technology consistently bring new and colorful coating products to market. Color is the most fundamental part of a drug's personality with the unique ability to create emotional appeal, communicate functional values and benefits and distinguish one brand from another.
Accurate results for tablets, granulations, and lyophilized samples
Accurate moisture control in pharmaceuticals is critical to maximize shelf life, tableting performance, and API effectiveness. When it comes to moisture, trust Computrac, the leader in the field for over 30 years. The Computrac line of moisture, solids and ash analyzers is precise enough for the lab, rugged enough for the production floor, and flexible enough to handle nearly any application.
If you use USP methods 281 and 731, the Computrac MAX 5000XL® can provide results on both in as little as half an hour from a single sample. If you work with low-moisture or lyophilized samples, the Computrac Vapor Pro® XL can perform a moisture-specific test directly in the sample bottle with an absolute minimum of handling. Whatever your application, there is a Computrac that will help make your moisture, solids and ash testing more accurate, faster, and more reliable.

This Bookworm Beat shows that, on Halloween, there's nothing scarier than Leftist politics and the consequent racist, anti-American shenanigans.
For Halloween we now have two racially approved costumes. If you're still struggling to think of a costume for yourself or your child, I am happy to report that the Black Panther creators and the gal who voices Moana have both stated explicitly that all races are allowed to use their costumes. Whew! The only thing sad about these two linked stories is that we live in a world in which people of various races need permission to dress up as wildly popular fictional characters whom they admire.
As the election nears, the Left escalates its Hitler comparisons. I was listen to today's Dan Bongino show, and he dedicates the first few minutes to discussing the escalating Trump = Hitler rhetoric from the Left and from the NeverTrumpers who, like true converts and zealots, outdo their new political travelers when it comes to heated rhetoric. Bongino played audio of the various talking heads fighting to come up with the most extreme Trump = Hitler (or ISIS) analogy (I've queued the audio to the point at which the Trump = Hitler tape begins):
TV media is not alone. This is a recent headline from the WaPo:
An alternative headline for that same opinion piece could have been "Hitler was an honest leader."
Even that hardcore socialist (and pedophile supporter) Pope Francis gets into the Hitler comparison act, comparing "populists" who oppose mass Muslim migration to Hitler. His use of the word "populist" interests me, because it's a reminder that, to the elites, it's inconceivable that the masses might have a good idea. If the masses want it, it must automatically be bad. Frankly, I don't see anything bad about Europeans resisting an influx of people who subscribe to an ideology that is the antithesis of everything the West has struggled to achieve over the centuries in terms of civil rights, individual liberty, respect for different races and faiths, etc. The Pope is insulated from this influx behind is walls, but the Europeans being murdered, raped, stabbed, blown up, and evicted by the new immigrants have skin in this game.
For some good push back against this type of rhetorical madness, I recommend Sarah Hoyt's Don't Let The Media and Democrats Get Away With It. I especially liked her conclusion, although I do recommend reading the whole thing:
Whenever the left is meeting with opposition they retreat into this condemnation of our lack of civility.
They are right, you know? If we shut up and let them beat us, attack us and call for guillotines to kill us, without protest, it's all very civil. Or at least, there isn't a fight.
Are you going to do that? Are you going into cowering and apologizing mode because the left is hanging a multiply-convicted felon with an incoherent hodgepodge of beliefs around your necks? Are you going to let them get away with it AGAIN?
Or are you going to answer this the only way you can? With humor? "Oh, please, if he were a real Republican he'd know how to build bombs that go boom. We're competent." Or "Yeah? Hey, he hates Monsanto. Weren't you yelling about Monsanto last week?" Or "Did I hear you beating your chest and apologizing for the shooting of Scalize? The beating of Rand Paul? No? Then take my answer as the same." Or "You know if you guys didn't keep felons out of jail this stuff wouldn't happen." Or my favorite "Not my circus, not my monkeys. We know you're a hive mind, but we're individuals. None of us know this nut."
Keep calm and "no sale"the left's bullshit.
And vote. Vote like your life depends on it. With the calls for guillotines and Antifa on the loose it very well might.
The EU continues its bow to sharia law. Speaking of the effect of the elite-approved Muslim invasion of Europe, you probably already read that an EU court in Austria held that the EU's promise of free expression does not extend to insulting Mohammed: [Read more…]

Relaxation can come in so many forms. For some, it's a leisurely walk along a nature trail. Some folks prefer to hit the treadmill or curl up with the latest (and last) David Foster Wallace tome.
Then again, sometimes all you want to do is plop down in a $5,400 massage chair and let the good vibrations take you away from the everyday. That's exactly what the AcuTouch 9500 delivers, and while it's not cheap, you can soon rationalize every penny within a few days of convenient in-home massage action.
Made by Human Touch, the 9500 comes in either black or "espresso" coloring and resembles any other high-end leather recliner you might find in an upscale department store. Except there's awesomeness lying just below the unassuming exterior here. Eight programmed presets will run your entire body through a rigorous 15-minute program, targeting the specific areas where your muscles are most taxed.
And if you're going for a more freeform massage experience, the 9500 sports four primary back massage settings, each involving percussion, compression, or kneading. Use the hand-held tethered remote to choose your settings and to control the reclining and the leg extension. There's a single heat setting, as well as much-appreciated height adjustments, so shorter folk get a more customized massage session than their taller brethren. And should you start to doze off, the "seat" massage will most certainly wake you up.
When you add the functionality of the HT-Connect iOS app (free), you can access a total of 16 relaxation-inducing programs, and the app easily remembers your preferred settings from last time. Frankly, the app is worth it just for allowing you to skip the bulky, tethered remote control that dangles off the left side of the chair.
But the 9500's killer app isn't really an app at all. It's the heaven-sent cubbyholes that extend from underneath the chair, giving your feet and legs an experience that, at worst, could be described as euphoric. After one dopamine-producing go-around, you may believe the Shiatsu-style massaging nubs initiated by the "CirQlation" function are worth the price of the chair in and of itself.
Ah, yes – the price. Certainly, you might need a few trips through the 9500 when you see your next credit card bill, what with a retail price of $5,400. And when fully reclined, the 9500 measures 80 inches in length, so it can take up quite a footprint in your home.
And if we have one quibble concerning the actual massaging, it'd be that the arms are completely ignored. With high arching arm rests, we would've preferred to have some sort of recess for the arms to rest within, even if there's no actual massaging going on.
But complaining about this marvel of a massager is like saying the Mona Lisa isn't smiling enough or that Bill Gates is getting a bit poor. The company's website says this chair is "designed to improve your wellness and life." Hyperbolic? Maybe, but you'll have a hell of a good time finding out if that's true.
WIRED Fast start-up: Press a button and you're floating away. Foolproof Bluetooth-to-iOS functionality. Completely relaxes the tensest person in 15 minutes.
TIRED Prohibitively expensive for many. Arms are ignored. Leg massager doesn't automatically restore to its set position after use. It casts quite a big shadow.

Launching an online business can prove to be seriously complicated. Although on paper, it's way easier to create an online business than a bricks-and-mortar one, an entrepreneur can get lost in the multitude of options. Some of the most common pitfalls an online entrepreneur gets stuck in include:
Given the multitude of ways one can fail along the road, it's really important to:
Here's where prototyping comes into place. An entrepreneur should run lean, not wasting time and resources. Building as little as possible at the beginning can prove a virtue.
There are many schools of thought on what a prototype is and how it should be created. Some say that it should be only a landing page, others that it should be a stripped-down version of the final product. I'm more of a fan of the second. Using only a landing page can feel scammy. Also, you can't get feedback on how you are solving the problem, but rather only on if the problem is worth solving.
Here's the toolbelt of a smart prototyping online entrepreneur:
In this tutorial, we'll be building a simple application in the spirit of rapid prototyping. We'll be using Django, Bootstrap CSS, and Heroku. The focus will be on the back-end part rather than the front end.
We're going to take advantage of the Heroku platform to put something online early and to quickly deploy new features. We're going to use Django to build complex database models and functionality. Bootstrap CSS will give us a sensible default style for our pages. Enough talking, let's go.
Make sure you're sitting down for this one. The idea will knock your socks off. Here's the pitch: Don't you just hate how you get all these discount codes but you forget to use them and they expire?
Wouldn't it be cool to store the codes somewhere where you can search them and also be notified when they're about to expire? I know, great idea, right? Well, put your credit card down, you won't be investing in this one. You're going to build it.
In this tutorial, I'm going to use Python 3. If you are using Python 2.7, the changes should be fairly easy. I'm also going to assume that you're familiar with
setuptools, Python virtualenvs, and Git. One more thing before going forward: make sure you have a GitHub and a Heroku account. To use Heroku, you also need to install the Heroku CLI.
Let's start by creating a virtualenv:
$ mkvirtualenv coupy
As you've probably figured out, our application name is Coupy. Let's switch to the new virtualenv,
$ workon coupy, and install Django:
$ pip install Django
Go into your GitHub account and create a new project. Next, let's clone that project:
$ git clone https://github.com/<GITHUB_USERNAME>/<GITHUB_PROJECT_NAME>.git $ cd <GITHUB_PROJECT_NAME>
The next logical step is to create a Django project. To deploy a Django project to Heroku, we need to follow some guidelines. Fortunately, we can use a project template for that. Here's how to do that:
$ django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/heroku/heroku-django-template/archive/master.zip --name=Procfile coupy
You might need to move around some folders. Make sure your repository root folder looks like this:
. ├── Procfile ├── README.md ├── coupy │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── settings.py │ ├── static │ │ └── humans.txt │ ├── urls.py │ └── wsgi.py ├── manage.py ├── requirements.txt └── runtime.txt
Let's now install the requirements provided by the template:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
We now want to push the newly created files to GitHub:
$ git add . $ git commit -m"Init Django project" $ git push origin master
Let's see if what we've done so far works:
$ python manage.py runserver
Now open a browser window and go to http://localhost:8000. If all is good, you should see the classic Django Welcome page. To make sure that all is good from Heroku's perspective, we can also run the application like this:
$ heroku local web
To prove how quickly we can go online, let's make our first deploy to Heroku:
$ heroku login $ heroku create
We have now created a Heroku application, but we haven't sent any code to Heroku. Notice that Heroku created a user-friendly app id. Here's the output you should get:
Creating app... done, ⬢ <HEROKU_APP_ID> https://<HEROKU_APP_ID>.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/<HEROKU_APP_ID>.git
We now need to associate our repo with the newly created Heroku app:
$ heroku git:remote -a <HEROKU_APP_ID> $ git push heroku master $ heroku open
Awesome, you just deployed an app to Heroku. It doesn't do much, but you put something online in record time. Good job.
You probably won't ever build a non-trivial web app without a database. The database is the data storage part of the web app. Here's where the web app keeps its state (at least most of it). Here's where we keep the user accounts and the login details and much, much more. Heroku provides a managed PostgreSQL service.
That's what we're going to use. Make sure you have installed Postgres on your machine and create a database instance to use in our application. Heroku needs an environment variable to be set to be able to connect to the database service. The variable we need to set is
$ export DATABASE_URL="postgres://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@localhost:5432/<DATABASE_NAME>"
Let's now tell Django to apply the migrations and create the necessary tables:
$ ./manage.py migrate
Let's create a superuser and login to the admin interface at http://localhost:8000/admin:
$ ./manage.py createsuperuser $ ./manage.py runserver
We can see that the tables have indeed been created. Heroku already associated a database instance to your app by default. You can make sure that's the case by checking in Heroku
HEROKU_APP_ID > Settings > Config Variables in your Heroku online console. You should see here that the
DATABASE_URL is set to a Heroku generated database address.
We now have to run the migrations and create the super user commands online. Let's see if it all works as expected:
$ heroku run python manage.py migrate $ heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser
If all went well, if we visit
https://<HEROKU_APP_ID>.herokuapp.com/admin/, we should be able to log in with the credentials we just provided.
In this section, we're going to initialize a Django app and use Django predefined components to create the user authentication functionality in our app.
$ ./manage.py startapp main
Inside the new app, we're going to create a
urls.py file:
from django.conf.urls import url from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView urlpatterns = [ url('^$', RedirectView.as_view(url='login'), name='index'), url(r'^login$', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(), name='login'), url(r'^logout$', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'), ]
Here we use three generic Django views:
RedirectView: Since the base URL of the application doesn't do anything, we're redirecting to the login page.
LoginView: Django predefined view that creates the login form and implements the user authentication routine.
LogoutView: Django predefined view that logs a user out and redirects to a certain page.
Add the
main application to the
INSTALLED_APPS list:
INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', # Disable Django's own staticfiles handling in favour of WhiteNoise, for # greater consistency between gunicorn and `./manage.py runserver`. See: # http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/django.html#using-whitenoise-in-development 'whitenoise.runserver_nostatic', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'main', ]
Hook up the
main.urls to the root URL schema:
from django.conf.urls import url, include from django.contrib import admin urlpatterns = [ url(r'^', include('main.urls')), url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls), ]
In order to display the forms properly, with styles and classes and everything, we need to install
$ pip install django-widget-tweaks $ pip freeze > requirements.txt
django-widget-tweaks to
INSTALLED_APPS = [ # ... 'main', 'widget_tweaks', ]
We now add these two configs to
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL: Tells Django where to redirect a user after a successful authentication.
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL: Tells Django where to redirect the user after he/she logs out.
# settings.py LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'dashboard' LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = 'login'
Let's write a simple master template
base.html and a
dashboard.html template that extends it. We'll get back to the dashboard one later.
<!DOCTYPE html>   <meta charset="UTF-8"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" /> <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
 {% block content %}{% endblock %}

{% extends 'base.html' %} {% block title %}Dashboard{% endblock %} {% block content %}
Dashboard
 {% endblock %}
Write the view that renders the
dashboard.html template:
from django.shortcuts import render from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy @login_required(login_url=reverse_lazy('login')) def dashboard(request): return render(request, 'dashboard.html')
We're all set. Head over to
http://localhost:8000/login/ and test that authentication works. Next, save your progress:
$ git add . $ git commit -m"Login/Logout/Dashboard views"
Now we've come to the most important part of our application, designing the Coupon model. We'll be installing
django-model-utils to add some extra properties to our models.
$ pip install django-model-utils $ pip freeze > requirements.txt
Write the
Coupon model:
from model_utils.models import TimeStampedModel, TimeFramedModel from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User class Coupon(TimeStampedModel, TimeFramedModel): owner = models.ForeignKey(User) discount_code = models.CharField("Discount Code", max_length=100) website = models.URLField("Website") description = models.TextField("Coupon Description")
django-model-utils models we extended enable us to:
TimeStampedModel helps us track when the model was placed in the database, via the
created field.
TimeFramedModel adds the
start and
end fields to our model. We're using these fields to keep track of the coupon's availability.
Hook the model to the admin:
from django.contrib import admin from .models import Coupon @admin.register(Coupon) class CouponAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): pass
Create and apply migrations:
$ ./manage.py makemigrations $ ./manage.py migrate
Save progress:
$ git add . $ git commit -m"Create Coupon model"
One of the cool features of Django is the ability to create forms from model classes. We're going to create such a form that enables users to create coupons. Let's create a
forms.py file inside the
main application:
from django.forms import ModelForm from .models import Coupon class CouponForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Coupon exclude = ('owner', ) # We're setting this field ourselves
Let's add this form to the dashboard. We need to change both the view and the template:
# views.py from django.shortcuts import render, redirect from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy from .forms import CouponForm @login_required(login_url=reverse_lazy('login')) def dashboard(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = CouponForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): coupon = form.save(commit=False) coupon.owner = request.user coupon.save() return redirect('dashboard') else: form = CouponForm() return render(request, 'dashboard.html', context={'create_form': form})
{% extends 'base.html' %} {% load widget_tweaks %} {% block title %}Dashboard{% endblock %} {% block content %}
Dashboard
 <form method="post"> {% csrf_token %}
 Discount Code {% render_field create_form.discount_code class="form-control" placeholder="Discount Code" %}

 Website {% render_field create_form.website class="form-control" placeholder="Website" %}

 Description {% render_field create_form.description class="form-control" placeholder="Description" %}

 Available From {% render_field create_form.start class="form-control" placeholder="Available From (MM/DD/YYYY)" %}

 Expires on {% render_field create_form.end class="form-control" placeholder="Expires On (MM/DD/YYYY)" %}
 <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button> </form> {% endblock %}
We now have a way to create coupons from the dashboard. Go give it a try. We have no way of seeing the coupons in the dashboard, but we can do so in the admin panel. Let's save the progress:
$ git add . $ git commit -m"Coupon creation form in dashboard"
One more thing we want to be displayed in the dashboard: coupons that expire soon, for example ones that expire this week.
django.contrib.humanize to
INSTALLED_APPS to display dates in the templates in a human-friendly way.
Let's enhance the view so that it fetches the soon expiring coupons and passes them to the template context:
from datetime import timedelta from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required from django.shortcuts import render, redirect from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy from django.utils import timezone from .forms import CouponForm from .models import Coupon @login_required(login_url=reverse_lazy('login')) def dashboard(request): expiring_coupons = Coupon.objects.filter( end__gte=timezone.now(), end__lte=timezone.now() + timedelta(days=7)) if request.method == 'POST': form = CouponForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): coupon = form.save(commit=False) coupon.owner = request.user coupon.save() return redirect('dashboard') else: form = CouponForm() return render(request, 'dashboard.html', context={ 'create_form': form, 'expiring_coupons': expiring_coupons})
Let's update the template so that it displays the expiring coupons in a tabular way. We'll also put the creation form and the table in two separate columns using Bootstrap's grid system:
{% extends 'base.html' %} {% load widget_tweaks %} {% load humanize %} {% block title %}Dashboard{% endblock %} {% block content %}
Dashboard

 [The form code]

 {% if expiring_coupons %}

 Discount Code	 Website	 Expire Date

 {% for coupon in expiring_coupons %}
 {{coupon.discount_code}}	 {{coupon.website}}	 {{coupon.end|naturalday }}
 {% endfor %}
 {% else %}
No coupons expiring soon
 {% endif %} {% endblock %}

Looking good. Save your progress:
$ git add . $ git commit -m"Implementing the expiring coupon list"
Let's now learn some other Django shortcuts to create a view that displays the list of coupons we have available. We're talking about generic views. Here's how to quickly create a
# views.py # ... from django.views.generic.list import ListView from django.db.models import Q class CouponListView(ListView): model = Coupon def get_queryset(self): return Coupon.objects.filter(Q(end__gte=timezone.now()) | Q(end__isnull=True)).order_by('-end')
Now tie the view in your URL schema:
# main/urls.py from django.conf.urls import url from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView from .views import dashboard, CouponListView urlpatterns = [ url('^$', RedirectView.as_view(url='login'), name='index'), url(r'^login/$', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(), name='login'), url(r'^logout/$', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'), url(r'^dashboard/$', dashboard, name='dashboard'), url(r'^catalogue/$', CouponListView.as_view(template_name='catalogue.html'), name='catalogue'), ]
Create the template
{% extends 'base.html' %} {% load humanize %} {% block title %}Catalogue{% endblock %} {% block content %}
Catalogue

 {% if object_list %}

 Discount Code	 Website	 Expire Date

 {% for coupon in object_list %}
 {{coupon.discount_code}}	 {{coupon.website}}	 {{coupon.end|naturalday }}
 {% endfor %}
 {% else %}
 No coupons yet. Create your first one here.
 {% endif %} {% endblock %}

Since we've hooked everything up, head over to
http://localhost:8000/catalogue/ to view your coupon catalogue.
Save the progress:
$ git add . $ git commit -m"Creating the catalogue view"
This is pretty close to an MVP. I encourage you to do some fine tuning like creating a navbar, login/logout/register buttons, etc. The important thing is that you understand the process of prototyping and getting your product out there for people to see it. Speaking of which, our product is not online yet. We didn't push the latest version to Heroku. Let's do that and then pick up the phone and call the investors.
We created a simple but practical application. We created features quickly, and we've deployed them online so that our potential customers can use them and give us feedback. It's better to show people rather than only talk about an idea.

British Travellers Spend 2.4 Billion Minutes Engaging with Travel Content, Rely on Multiple Sources for Destination Decisions
A new study commissioned by Expedia® Media Solutions, the advertising arm of the Expedia group, and conducted by comScore explores the online and offline touch points that can influence the purchase journey for British travellers.
The British Traveller's Path to Purchase study examined the 45-day period leading up to online travel booking by consumers in the UK, including desktop and mobile device usage, destinations considered, and resources utilised. The study found that British travellers spend 2.4 billion minutes engaging with digital travel content, which is a nearly 45 percent increase year-over-year. Nearly one billion of those minutes are spent on travel content from a mobile device – an 82 percent increase year-over-year.
As multi-device usage and its impact on content consumption and booking behaviour continues to evolve, travellers are presented with more options than ever before, leading to an extensive research and booking path – and creating myriad opportunities for advertisers to influence destination and purchase decisions.
In the UK, more consumers are engaging with travel content on mobile devices than desktops, though in general, users are becoming more device agnostic.
- More users now engage with travel content on mobile than desktop devices, nearly 28 million versus 25 million, respectively
- Forty-nine percent of users engage with travel content on multiple devices, compared to 28 percent of mobile-only users and 21 percent of desktop-only users
- Nearly half of smartphone owners and 63 percent of tablet owners used their device for trip research
- Browsers are still the primary way UK consumers access mobile travel information (64 percent), and the total share of browser minutes surpassed apps in most travel categories – most notably OTAs (80 percent), Airlines (72 percent) and Hotels/Resorts (72 percent)
Travel continues to be a considered and time consuming purchase, and the average online travel booker visited travel sites more than 121 times during the 45-day path to purchase.
- Sixty-eight percent cited an online source as the first resource used to help decide on a destination
- Users average more than 18 visits to travel sites per week during the 45 days prior to booking, and spend more than an hour and fifteen minutes on desktop travel sites in the week leading up to purchase
- By the end of the booking path, average visits per booker increased by more than 200 percent, resulting in close to daily visits to travel sites, on average
Destination decisions are influenced by many factors, and 54 percent of UK online travel bookers started the research process with multiple destinations in mind.
- British online travel bookers are two times more likely to book an international trip versus a domestic trip, and millennials were more likely to consider or book trips further abroad
- OTAs (12 percent) and search engines (12 percent) were the most common initial online resources when deciding on a destination, while recommendations from family and friends were the most common offline resource (15 percent). OTAs also have the most booker engagement, compared to other travel site categories, with 32 percent of total visits throughout the booking path.
- Search engines (68 percent) were used most as a resource near the beginning of the purchase path, but dropped to only eight percent at booking; OTAs (31 percent), airline sites (36 percent) and hotel sites (23 percent) were leading booking tools, and also used consistently throughout the path to purchase
The travel advertising marketplace is crowded, but full of opportunity.
- Thirty percent of travel bookers who were considering more than one destination were influenced by advertising; millennials were 25 percent more likely to notice travel advertising than other age groups, and 26 percent said advertising influenced their destination decision
- Forty-eight percent of online travel bookers said travel package advertising most influenced their booking decision
- Though travel only accounts for two percent of online display ad impressions, 10 percent of display ads served to an online booker during their path to purchase were travel ads, showing that targeting is working
"Travel continues to be a complex buying decision, and one travellers invest a significant amount of time in, as illustrated by the number of travel site visits prior to booking," said Noah Tratt, senior global vice president of Expedia Media Solutions. "Considering that more than half of online travel bookers in the UK start with multiple destinations in mind, understanding how and when decisions are influenced throughout the path to purchase can help marketers better reach and engage British travellers in the weeks leading up to booking."

For a city without many major attractions, Da Nang has loads of hotels. Most are targeted toward midrange business travellers and domestic tourists, but it's still one of the cheapest cities to base yourself in, with plenty of budget options — decent, city-centre three-stars come in under $25, although there is a marked decline in quality and options for those on a lower budget. In general, hotel standards are high, and the city's hotel staff are among the friendliest in the country we've found. For location, the best places to look are river-facing Bach Dang or the parallel running Tran Phu Street from where most of the attractions, restaurants and nightlife are within a short walk. This article suggests 3 budget hotels in Da Nang, Vietnam.
Funtastic Hotel
The Funtastic is the first and only international standard hostel in Da Nang. Situated nearer the train and bus stations than the riverfont (it's a good 20-minute power walk away), it makes a funtastic place to stay for sociable young travellers who are keen to explore the nooks and crannies of the city – especially if you have a keen interest in cuisine. The funkily designed hostel comprises three dorms, one six-bed female-only one and two mixed (four and six beds), all with shared cubical shower rooms.
Happy Days Hotel
Built in 2013, the 28-room, nine-floor Happy Days is difficult to find fault with. Staff are fun and friendly and rooms are comfortable, clean and modern, with every home comfort from air-con through to hairdryers. The feature-wall wallpaper is a bit loud and beds are dripping in Happy Day Hotel silk accessories, but at least you won't forget the name of your hotel after a big night out on Bach Dang Street.
Hoang Linh Hotel
The Hoang Linh is a good example of the quality you can expect at this price for a centrally located Da Nang hotel. Built in 2011, this five-floor, 17-room hotel has perfectly appointed, clean comfortable rooms with modern bathrooms, high-pressure walk-in shower units, cable TV and fridge/minibars. There are two room types, with the river-facing deluxe having a bit more room and of course the view, but otherwise not too different from the superior.
