Inexpensive. Internet access with simple browser. Solid file support.
Very weak touch screen. Apps library is weak, confusing, and feels unfiltered. Charging battery can result in device crashing.
Bottom Line
The cell phone-sized Archos 28 Internet Tablet sure reminds us of an MP3 player, but its frustrating touch screen is a problem no matter what you call it.
To look at it, the Archos 28 Internet Tablet would be more commonly associated with cell phones than tablets, but since it doesn't make phone calls and it does have a web browser, it must be a tablet, right? The operating system is based on Android 2.2, customized here and there by Archoswith mixed results. The Archos 28's primary flaw, however, isn't its size but its poor touch screen. At $99.99 for 4GB, it's cheap enough that we can forgive some drawbacks, but it's hard to think of this "tablet" in the same realm as the iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, or even its more natural competition, the iPod touch ($229, 5 stars).

Measuring 3.9 by 2.1 by 0.4 inches (HWD) and weighing 2.4 ounces, the Archos 28 Internet Tablet has an attractive dark metallic design, but make no mistake: it looks like a classic (as in, two years ago) portable media player. Smaller than an iPod touch, with a 2.8-inch QVGA (320 by 240-pixel) touch screen that dominates the front panel, the Archos 28 is one of the last remaining iPod competitors out there. Most of these devices have disappeared as manufacturers choose to focus on tiny, gym-friendly MP3 players or larger, multifunctional tablets. Archos is attempting to revitalize its line of players by referring to them as "Internet Tablets" and (mostly) doing away with its old operating system in favor of tweaking Google's Android OS. The upgrade to Android is a wise decision, and several other Archos models can truly be called tablets, but one look at this device and there is no mistaking: it's a plain old portable media player (yes, those can have browsers, too).
Below the screen, an array of icon-based buttons let you navigate back a page, call up the settings menu, go to the home screen, zoom in, or change the volume. The bottom panel houses the headphone jack (a pair of lousy earbuds comes with the player), a built-in microphone, a mini-USB jack (a cable for syncing with your computer also comes in the box), and a Power LED that seems strangely placed, since the Power button itself is all alone on the left-hand panel. Unlike the Archos 3cam vision ($99.99, 3.5 stars), the Archos 28 has no camera for recording video and shooting photos. The built-in mic is supposedly there for speech-to-text controls, but we had issues downloading the necessary software; it's not included on the player, nor is a voice recording app.
The Archos 28 comes in 4 and 8GB models, uses an ARM Cortex A8 800MHz processor, and has an accelerometer for switching between horizontal and vertical viewing modes. The OS is based on Android 2.2 ("FroYo"), but customized for Archos players. File support for the device is a definite strength. For audio, it plays MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, OGG Vorbis, and FLAC; it supports MPEG-4, H.264, WMV, and M-JPEG video files and JPEG, BMP, PNG, and GIF photo files. The Archos 28 connects to the Web via 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi.Performance
Even if you are familiar with the Android operating system on cell phones, prepare for a different experience with the Archos 28. Google made Android a completely open operating system, so Archos and others are free to use it on devices like this one, but since the tablet has no built-in phone capabilities, Google denies access to the Andriod Market and offers no support. This means that the implementation of Android on the Archos device feels a little clunky at times.
The browser experience is similar to what you'd get on other Android-based devices, but it tends to load only mobile versions of sites. This is due to the sites themselves seeing the browser as a mobile one, but if you choose to load the full site (usually an option at the bottom of the webpage), you can see the real thingsort of. First off, you won't get any Flash support. There's also no pinch-and-zoom or reliable scrolling thanks to the lackluster touch-screennavigating, or even just pressing buttons or links on pages, becomes virtually impossible. In other words, viewing watered-down mobile versions of websites is generally as good as it gets. On the bright side, the pop-up keyboard, which works in both vertical and horizontal arrays, is surprisingly easy to use despite the screen's other sensitivity issues—and the fact that the buttons are smaller than corn kernels.
AppsLib is Archos' stab at the Android Market, since Google denies access to its cherished collection of mobile apps. Archos does curate the apps and divide them into useful categories like "Tools" or "Entertainment", but often, you click on an app to find the app lacking any description, and user comments are all in French. This makes sense since Archos is based in France, but it's not exactly useful if you don't speak the language. Beyond this annoyance, the apps just don't seem up to snuff; they seem more often created by users than companies, and are more often widgets than useful or exciting programs.
The music player app is one of the better-looking aspects of the device. An album cover array reminiscent of Apple's Cover Flow moves with your finger. Selecting an album with the touch screen's weak sensitivity can be annoying, but the Now Playing screen displays album art, playback controls and a setting menu. In the main settings menu, you can access EQ, which has only preset adjustments and no user customizable options. I suggest leaving this setting at "flat", and perhaps upgrading your earphones if things sound too weak; PCMag's headphone buying guide is a good place to start that search.
Video and photo viewing default to horizontal mode. Both are fine for a quick reference or to show friends snapshots you've taken, but the screen's low resolution makes it a challenge to enjoy long term video viewing. Yes, the device has commendable file support, but its playback does not, shall we say, feel like a high-definition experience.
It is also possible to sync an email account with the player. It was easy syncing a Hotmail account with the Archos 28, though new messages were not pushed to the main menu page. If your account does not sync, your only other option is to use the browser, which, given the screen issues, could be a bit of a hassle depending on which service you use.
One final, troubling issue I had with the Archos 28 occurred while recharging the device. When you connect to a computer for power (via the included USB cable) you're prompted to choose between syncing the device or connecting in charge-only mode. I chose the latter, left the player connected to my work computer overnight, and arrived in the morning to find the screen frozen on the "Archos, Entertainment Your Way" start-up screen. Disconnecting the player did nothing to make this go away. The only thing that worked was holding the Power button for ten seconds, which turned the device off. Going through this process on even a semi-regular basis would get old quickly.
Archos claims the Archos 28 gets 16 hours of battery life for audio playback and 4 for video, reasonable numbers for a touch-screen device this size. Our own test results will be posted here soon.
It may sound like we're being harsh, but the bottom line is: just because a device is affordable doesn't make it a good value. The Archos 28 has a tiny screen that doesn't respond well to touch. This means Web browsing, as well as simply navigating the device, offers more annoyance than entertainment or convenience. Whether you agree with Archos that this is a tablet or not, it is nonetheless a device with issues, and at this low price, my advice is to avoid the Internet-browsing "tablets" altogether. In 2010-11, $100 is too little to pay for a strong, Internet equipped device; they're just not there yet. It's just the right amount for a decent portable media player, like the Samsung YP-R0 ($99.99 list, 3.5 stars), which comes with better-than-average earphones, or the aforementioned Archos 3cam Vision. Ironically, the 3cam is set to be discontinued soon, which is too bad. For the same price, I felt it offered a better-executed set of featuresmost notably, a camera.

An Unforgettable Day
This is without doubt the most difficult photograph we have in our archives when it comes to trying to identify everyone in it. We thought that many people would quickly be able to figure out exactly where and when it was taken, and that was the case. It was taken on the morning of 2nd February 1965 shortly before the BELCO riot started. These officers are standing on Serpentine Road directly opposite the main entrance to BELCO where the picketing was taking place.
We said that all those present at the time would surely never forget the experience and that is no doubt true. Unfortunately we can't see most of their faces, but we have been able to definitely identify some of these officers, and have received some suggestions as to some of the others, but chances are we will never know for sure, particularly many of those on the back row who we can hardly see at all. Here is our best shot so far:-
Blow-up 1
Blow-up 2
The face looking into the vehicle looks like Andy Bermingham as he was much shorter than most. Then again it could be Noddy Henagulph.
Just an observation on my part.
Noddy here; I wasn't at BELCO!
Editors note - Many thanks Robin.
Any idea who took the photo?
Was it a Media one or other.
Editors note - Good question Terry. I think I acquired the photo quite recently from some boxes that were stored at Police HQ so it was no doubt taken by one of our police photographers. It was not Paul Farrell who joined just a few weeks before the riot, and it wasn't Ray Hodges who joined well afterwards. Maybe Cal Christopher, John Logan or Mike Woods?
that is why I enjoy the site.
If shoulder numbers were the norm there would be no need to test as it would be self explanatory.
Thanks for the photo's and memories Roger.
Editors note - We normally rely 100% on memories and personal recognition but the photo of the group of police officers outside BELCO on that fateful day in 1965 was taken from quite a long distance away and it's almost impossible to identify all those present. I believe I was one of those in the photo because I was there until I left to attend Court just before the riot started. Even so, I'm not sure if one of the officers is me. It would be great to identify everyone in this photo, by any means, but that is most unlikely. Hopefully our next Who Where and When photo will not be so difficult!
And could the bloke in Pic 1 with his thumbs hooked into his breast pockets be Walter Somers?
Editors note - Good idea Davie but I suspect that they will appear too fuzzy. Unfortunately by IPhoto application is down but as soon as it is repaired will try to magnify the numbers. It could be Walter Somers. Does anyone know where he went to after leaving Bermuda?
Hola, in pic #1, could the 4th PC from the left be Barrie Meade!. I seem to remember he use to stick his chin out a bit just like the PC in the pic.
Dave O'
Editors note - Have had a close look at the photo Dave, but can't be sure at all that it is Barrie Meade. However, I believe that the guy just to his right i.e. 5th from the left in the back tow is Dennis Meehan.
From Terry - Lost me on this one Dave.
Editors note - Terry, Dave is of the opinion that the person 4th from the left in the back row could be Barrie Meade.
He should know or have an opinion.
Take care.
Editors note - Have been trying to get in contact with Wayne but no success so far.
Dave O'
Editors note - Have had a close look at the photo Dave, but can't be sure at all that it is Barrie Meade. However, I believe that the guy just to his right i.e. 5th from the left in the back row is Dennis Meehan.
Ask Wayne.
Editors note - Just a couple of other id's. The guy 4th from the left on the front row is, I believe, Crawford "Crow" Rae, and the guy on the back row 3rd from left facing the camera is definitely Malcolm "Chalkie" White.
The guy your talking about is wearing a Parish Crash Helmet. Can't remember his name. He was a Parish Constable.
I don't think it was Crawford Yoeman Rae.
An opinion.
Mike I was referring to "BlowUp 2.
4th from the left.
Mike, not sure if you are saying that the tall guy at the end of the first line s you. Just a ouple of other id's. The guy 4th fron the left on the front row is, I believe, Crawford "Crow" Rae, and the guy on the back row 3rd rom left facing the camera is definitely Malcolm "Chalkie" White.

Each year millions of people in the United States, most of them children, are bitten by animals. Most animal bites are from dogs; cat bites are second most common. However, the risk of infection from a cat bite is much higher than that from a dog bite. Most bites occur on the fingers of the dominant hand, but children may also be bitten about the head and neck area. A major concern about an animal bite is the possibility of rabies. Because most pets in the U.S. are vaccinated, most cases of rabies result from the bite of a wild animal such as a skunk, bat or raccoon.
Tell your doctor how you got the bite. Your physician will wash the wound area thoroughly and check for signs of nerve or tendon damage. The doctor may examine your arm to see if there are signs of a spreading infection. Your physician will probably leave the wound open (without stitches), unless you have a facial wound. You may need to get X-rays and a blood test. You may also need to get a tetanus shot and a prescription for antibiotics. If the tendons or nerves have been injured, you may need to see a specialist for additional treatment.
Rabies is a disease that affects only mammals (such as raccoons, bats, dogs, horses, and humans). It is caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system. Without treatment, it is 100 percent fatal. Rabies develops in two stages. During the first stage, which can last up to 10 days, the individual may have a headache, fever, decreased appetite, vomiting and general malaise, along with pain, itching, and tingling at the wound site. Symptoms of stage two include difficulty in swallowing, agitation, disorientation, paralysis, and coma. At this point, there is no known, effective treatment.
If rabies is identified early, a series of highly effective vaccinations can be administered. That's why it's important to capture and observe the animal that bit you. If the animal cannot be captured, but must be killed, the head should be kept intact so the brain can be examined for signs of rabies.
Follow these recommendations to prevent animal bites and rabies.
- Keep pets on a leash when out in public.
- Never leave a young child alone with a pet. Don't allow children to tease an animal by waving sticks, throwing stones, or pulling a tail.
- Be sure your pet is vaccinated.
- Do not approach or play with any kind of wild animal.
- NEVER disturb any dog who is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies.
- NEVER try to separate fighting animals.
- NEVER pet animals that appear sick or act strangely. Call animal control.
- NEVER pet a dog, even your own, without letting him see and sniff you first.
- Children must always ASK PERMISSION from the owner and their parents BEFORE petting any dog.
- If the owner cannot control the dog and have it SIT nicely for the child to pet, WALK AWAY
- NEVER approach a dog who is confined behind a fence, within a car, or on a chain.
- NEVER TEASE any dog by poking at them through fences or car windows or reaching your arm through to pet them.
- NEVER approach a strange dog you don't know or a dog who is not with his owner.
- NEVER RUN away from a dog that is chasing you. STOP, STAND STILL, REMAIN CALM, ARMS AT YOUR SIDES, be quiet and DO NOT SCREAM. Walk away SLOWLY FACING THE DOG BUT NOT STARING AT its eyes
- If a dog attacks, "feed" him your jacket, a school book, a bicycle, or anything else that you can get between you and the dog.
- If you are attacked, STOP, CURL UP IN A BALL LIKE A TURTLE, COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR ARMS AND HANDS
If your dog, cat, or ferret bites someone, the animal must be quarantined for 10 days and observed for rabies. Failure to do so will result in legal action.
All other mammals, such as raccoons, skunks, etc, shall be euthanized and tested for rabies.
Sanitarians from the Cabell-Huntington Health Department will follow up to check on the condition of the animal.

"It's difficult in times like these; ideals, dreams and cherished hope rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death."– Ann Frank
Another fun bookmark to make. I painted some cows with this design, too! I know! Weird!

Born in Germany in 1929, Anne Frank is one of the most famous Jewish victims of the Holocaust because of the diary she kept during her time in hiding before being captured by the Nazis. She was only 13 years old when she and her family went into hiding. The writings from the two years she spent in such close proximity to her family was discovered and published by her father, Otto Frank and continue to touch people today.

Another Completed Project
12 comments:
Wow, congrats! Way to finish the set so quickly too, impressive. Will you please save the extra Fryman for me?ReplyDelete
I'd put them on Ebay with a BIN price of $517.17. You never know!ReplyDelete
Definitely sell to help recoup some of your costs for the set...but of course use that money to BUY MORE STUFF!!!ReplyDelete
I'd definitely sell. Make some $ back.ReplyDelete
Sell, unless you get any trade offers. I know, that's not a definitive answer, but they're your cards, you get what you want most for them. Other cards or $$! Congrats on completing the set!ReplyDelete
Congrats! Can't put a price on a sense of accomplishment.ReplyDelete
I'd sell the extras, except for the Davey Lopes, which I would trade to this super cool dude named Greg Zakwin.
I'd sell the more expensive ones for sure, then add the rest as trade bait or monthly prizes. Except for the Daulton, there may be a certain Phillies Phan that could be interested in the Daulton...ReplyDelete
Three months? Holy cow! I'd consider that an accomplishment if I completed it in two years!ReplyDelete
For what you spent, I'd sell the other autographs. But in an ideal world, I'd be trading those off to other collectors.
- AnonymousAugust 20, 2013 at 11:28 AM
I'd trade the Hrbek to me ;) and do whatever you wanted with the rest!ReplyDelete
Sell them,then subtract the total from the $517.17.Then that would be your final purchase price.ReplyDelete
I would go with selling them.ReplyDelete
When you look through the 58 cards almost every one of them has a solid signature, only a couple had sloppy/messy signatures. Some of these young players today could learn a thing or two about signing autographs from these guys.
Ebay the crap outta those extras.ReplyDelete

Parliamentary Majority Cannot See Anything New or Special in the US State Department's Annual Report
The parliamentary majority of Georgia cannot see anything new and special in the annual report of the US Department.
Lasha Tordia, the Chairman of the Parliament's Committee for Human Rights, told journalists that the US Department of State's annual human rights report does not reveal anything new.
He said there are issues mentioned in the Report concerning of what some conclusions were already made and there are issues on which we still continue working.
"There is nothing new in it", said Tordia, adding the US Department of State's report is very important and it should be taken into account.
As for the US ambassador's concern about harassment of opposition figures, Lasha Tordia explained that they cannot agree with the Department of State on every issue, because sometimes they are provided with inexact information.
He said the State Department receives information from the non-governmental sector, the parliament, the Public Defender and all those who are working in the human rights area, therefore the government may not agree with some information.
Tordia named harassment of opposition and existence of political prisoners in Georgia as 'such inexact information'.
Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for European Integration Davit Darchiashvili said problems revealed in the US State Department's Report about human rights situation in Georgia cannot hinder Georgia's integration into the NATO. He said those problems are common for other countries too.
He said, as a rule, the Report lists those violations were provided by the Public Defender of Georgia and local nongovernmental organizations and the US State Department made legal evaluation of those facts.
According to Darchiashvili, police uses excessive force in every country; but those facts are responded and afterwards somebody likes and somebody does not like it. The Government of Georgia shares all negative evaluations of certain problems reflected in the Report. For example, it is necessary to improve professionalism of police officers and judges. "But those problems cannot hinder Georgia's integration into the NATO. It is natural that reinforcing of democratic institutions is urgently important on our way towards NATO integration," Darchiashvili said.

Yes I know not many of you do not trust Abdullah to stay healthy. I think this is the year he takes a leap forward. I'm not willing to say he will be a RB1 this season but he is definitely in the conversation for RB2 or Flex. Not only is Abdullah seeing great progress recovering from his most recent injury, but the Detroit Lions have dumped a lot of money into the offensive line this season. Signing OL, T.J. Lang and Ricky Wagner is a massive jump and shows Detroit wants to get down to the run game even more.
The 2016 Season was not a good one for Abdullah. Playing in just 2 games, injuries had ended his season very early. But if we look into his 2015 season where he played a full 16 games, (Some Limited) we can see the potential for a big year. Now keep in mind. Abdullah received less that 10 carries a total of 10 times. Meanwhile still finishing with 597 yards. If Abdullah averages 13-17 carries a game he should have no issues breaking 70+ yards a game and possibly getting into the end zone. I don't think we will see too much Abdullah come goal line. The Lions will likely bring in power back Zenner. Here's a breakdown of a somewhat healthy season for Abdullah in 2015.
Many people are threatened by the other back, Theo Riddick. I'm not worried one bit that Riddick will steal carries from Ameer. If anything I think we will see more 2 back Sets because both have the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. Last season proved that Riddick is not effective when running the ball. Riddick gets his points in open field and catching the ball. I think Abdullah if used properly this season will be one of the most under-drafted players this year. A healthy season, according to past stats shows nothing more than a breakout year for a team that's gonna keep the ball on the ground. I'd be willing to draft Abdullah as early as the 7th round. But I do think he will be available much later around the 9th-10th round.

Zuzka's 10 Minute Power Strength Workout-ZCUT
Total-Body Burner: Zuzka Light's 10-Minute Power Strength Workout Video
Zuzka Light's 10-Minute Power Strength Workout
Watch The Video - 14:36
Included in this workout are some of my favorite and most effective exercises from my new ZCUT Power Strength DVD series. The workout is only 10 minutes long, so never stop moving! If this is your first time doing this workout, try to keep up with me. If you're up for a challenge, try to finish more reps than I did! Either way, aim to push harder each time you repeat this workout.
Leave a comment below and tell me how you did!
Competition Burpees w/ Alternating Pistol Squats /// (10 total reps)
Directions and Tips:
- This exercise combines two moves to give you a cardio boost and strengthen your lower body and core.
- When it comes to burpees, speed matters. Be fast! Get down into plank, lower your chest to the ground, get right back up, and jump.
- With the pistol squat, it helps to tense your muscles and focus all of your energy into your standing leg. Try not to lean to either side, and avoid the urge to hesitate at the bottom of the squat. It makes it harder to get back up.
- Alternate legs with each pistol squat. You'll do five squats per leg each round, along with 10 burpees. Trust me, that'll be enough!
- If you are unable to do the pistol squats, hold on to a band, bar, or use the wall for extra stability.
Dive Bomber Push-ups /// (10 reps)
Directions and Tips:
- Dive bombers challenge your upper body by targeting different muscles in your arms, back, and shoulders.
- Start in a downward-facing dog position, and aim for one fluid movement. Lower your face, then chest, and then stomach to just a couple inches off of the ground. Extend your upper body into a position that resembles upward-facing dog.
Weighted Step-ups w/ Jump Squat /// (10 reps each leg)
Directions and Tips:
- Grab a sturdy chair and a set of dumbbells to target your lower body with this exercise that works the hams and glutes.
- Remember to keep your chest up and back straight as you step up on the chair, keeping the power coming from your quads and glutes.
- Unlike the pistol squats earlier, you're going to do 10 reps of step-ups with one leg and then repeat it with the other. That's 20 total reps each round.
- For the jump squat, drop your hips below your knees before you shoot up. Make sure your feet leave the ground. Land softly, and bend your knees to absorb the impact.
Lunge Press w/ Knee-Up /// (4 reps each side)
Directions and Tips:
- This one-two combo builds strength in both your upper and lower body while testing your balance and coordination.
- Grab a dumbbell and step back into a lunge position. Bring the weight to your shoulder. Lower it down and then push the weight back up towards the sky. Repeat the lunge press three times. Complete the combo by bringing your back knee to your chest for a knee-up movement. All of that together is one rep. I told you this was tough!
- Concentrate on maintaining your balance throughout the exercise. It won't be easy!

Home MB > Mercedes-Benz Man Grey
Mercedes-Benz Man Grey walks into the footsteps of its successful predecessor: their bottles are identical, except for the color. The qualitative soft-touch matte bottle has been tinted in anthracite grey, giving it an even more modern elegance. The iconic silver Star is still present, and so is the unique halo impression, created by the circular glass window in the center of the bottle. The choice of colors, playing on a mineral note, visually translates the contrast of the fragrance itself: fresh and spicy at the same time.

Net of the cd case. As you can see the net is of a different shape. The triangular shape to the bottom of the net, folds inwards to close around the actual CD, this won't be attached, but keeps it enclosed together. This again is to create the idea of interaction and unfolding the paper to reveal the cd.
Text on the front of the cd case. The text on the CD case is similar to that of the publication front cover. By using the website coding within the text it communicates that the product is to do with digital design. This also carries through the digital design aesthetic and makes it consistent with the rest of the products.
Front cover of the cd case. By using the mandarin stock, this keeps the product consistent with the publication and other products created.
Title and description of the digital component.
The cover folds over the top and around the back to create the folded case. When it opens the net is folded inwards to create an enclosure around the cd and hold it within the case.
Close up of the enclosure for the CD.
The user will simply fold back the card to open it and get hold of the CD. As you can see the CD is attached by elastic bands to a piece of mount board. The CD can easily be taken out from this by sliding it out from under the elastic bands. This again is for aesthetic purposes, but it does also make sure that the CD stays within the case and isn't left loose. The mount board also strengthens the CD case.

Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Bechuanaland
BECHUANALAND, an extensive tract in South Africa, inhabited by the Bechuanas, extending from 28° S. lat. to the Zambezi, and from 20° E. long, to the Transvaal border. Until 1895 Bechuanaland included the Crown Colony of British Bechuanaland and the Bechuanaland Protectorate. In that year the Crown Colony was annexed to Cape Colony, and the Protectorate placed under the administration of the High Commissioner. The Protectorate has an area of about 275,000 square miles; and extends from the Molopo river in the S. to the Zambezi in the N., and is bounded on the E. by the Transvaal province and Matabeleland, and on the W. by Southwest Africa. Pop. about 125,000.
Bechuanaland is a portion of an elevated plateau 4,000 to 5,000 feet above the level of the sea, and, though so near the tropics, is suitable for the British race. In winter there are sharp frosts, and snow falls in some years. The rains fall in summer, and then only the rivers are full. It is an excellent country for cattle; sheep thrive in some parts, and there are extensive tracts available for corn lands; but it is not a wheat country on account of the summer rains. It can be reached from Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Delagoa Bay, and the Zambezi, the railroad from the former being extended from Kimberley, Vryburg, Mafeking, Palachwe, Tati, and Bulawayo. There are extensive forests to the N. E., and to the W. the Kalahari Desert.
Gold has been found near Sitlagoli, and there are indications of gold-bearing quartz reefs in many directions. Diamondiferous soil is also said to exist in several localities; indeed, diamonds were discovered at Vryburg in the autumn of 1887.
The province of Stellaland is principally inhabited by Boers, and the remainder of the country by Bechuanas. The Bechuanas are a black race, possessing a language in common with the Bantu races of South Africa, extending as far N. as the equator. The Bechuanas have divided up within the last 150 years, and comprise the Bahurutse, Bamangwato, Bakwena, Bangwaketse, Barolongs, Batlapins, and Batlaros. Each tribe has an animal as an emblem, or heraldic sign, which it is said they hold in esteem. They have since 1832 been at enmity with the Matabele. During the native risings in 1878, the Bechuanas invaded Griqualand West, and were in turn subdued by British volunteers as far as the Molopo. When the British Government withdrew from Bechuanaland in 1880, the natives, being helpless, were left to the mercy of the Boers of the Transvaal, whose harsh treatment in 1882 and 1883 led to the Bechuanaland expedition in 1884. The system of government among the Bechuanas would be termed in Europe local government. All important matters are decided in the public assembly of the freemen of the town, but matters are previously arranged between the chiefs and headmen. During the British-Boer War of 1899-1900, Mafeking was the scene of one of the most determined and successful defenses in history.

I have a question.
I got this response from the serial number thread about my guitar:
"This Albert Lee HH was completed on January 17th, 2012. The color is Trans Walnut with the all Rosewood neck."
Does the 'Trans Walnut' refer to the color only, or the actual wood? It looks like Mahogany to me.

Much of the work in health and social care is grounded in evidence-based practice. It is advantageous, for those seeking a career in the sectors, to have a clear understanding of research methodology in order to work ethically and effectively when carrying out their research. The choice of topic may be informed by a particular interest or career intentions. This unit will provide a good foundation for learners wishing to progress to higher education or within their chosen career.
Initially, learners will need to consider the importance and function of research in the health and social care sectors, for example the role that research plays in policy development. Learners will explore research methodology appropriate to the sectors.
Learners must demonstrate an understanding of ethical principles and gain approval for their plans before starting their project. In the final part of the unit, learners will have the opportunity to research their selected topic, present their findings and evaluate the success of the project.

N-deal: 'NSG nod will power India's growth'
August 22, 2008 09:04 IST
The United States-India Business Council has intensified lobbying efforts to push for an NSG nod and a landmark ratification of legislation in the Congress this year for operationalising the Indo-US nuclear deal.
'Clean waiver for nuclear deal is a fantasy'
The Nuclear Suppliers Group, that controls international nuclear trade, is holding discussions to consider a waiver for India to resume civil nuclear trade but a decision during the two-day meet appears 'tough' in the wake of concerns by three of its members.
'We understand that the NSG will require more than one meeting to end India's nuclear isolation. But seizing this moment is essential,' Ron Somers, USIBC president said in a statement.
Earlier this month, the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors had approved the India-specific safeguards agreement but an NSG nod and ratification of the nuclear agreement by US congress are necessary to implement the Indo-US atomic deal.
India holds special briefing for NSG members
The USIBC pointed out that the NSG's admission of India to the non-proliferation regime will see IAEA safeguards applied to 14 of its 22 nuclear facilities, its support for the IAEA Additional Protocol, harmonisation with the Missile Technology Control Regime and other non-proliferation gains.
'NSG approval of nuclear trade with India will provide power to sustain India's remarkable 9 per cent growth -- a process, which has lifted hundreds of millions from poverty,' the trade association has said, adding only 55% of Indian households have access to electricity and that without nuclear energy, India will be forced to rely on costly and carbon-emitting fossil fuels for baseload power.
Experts ask NSG to reject India-specific exemption
Currently, coal and gas account for 64% of India's total generating capacity. With international cooperation, India can expand its nuclear capacity from just 4,000 MW to between 30,000 and 60,000 MW in 2030, it said.
The US-India Business Council is a trade association based in Washington representing the largest US companies investing in India, and has been advocating for the Indo-US civil nuclear cooperation.

Zen Sarcasm - 25 Bits of Wisdom to Make You Laugh
Zen Sarcasm - 25 Bits of Wisdom to Make You Laugh
Source: MindTrip Magazine
Zen is the product of the the constant practicing of mindfulness. It is a way to feel, experience, express and understand reality in its entirety. It is a Japanese philosophy, that is based of the teachings of the Buddha.
It makes sense, now that I think about it, that sarcasm and Zen would go perfectly together. It doesn't contradict itself in execution or meaning. To be sarcastic you have to understand the subject matter thoroughly enough express different aspects of it.
Zen is about expressing multiple sides of one concept simultaneously as well. With that in mind, let's take a look at some totally bogus Zen teachings that will, hopefully, give you a little chuckle! No insult intended to the Zen at all. I hope this doesn't offend anyone; if so, it's not my intention.
Zen Sarcasm
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt or a leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest before dawn, so if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
7. If you think nobody cares if you 're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
9. If at first you don't succeed......skydiving is not for you.
10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
11. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
12. Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.
13. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
14. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
16. Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
17. There are two theories to arguing with a woman - Neither one works.
18. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
19. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
20. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative.
21. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
22. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our butts. Then things get worse.
23. There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
24. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
25. No one is listening until you fart.

LeMahieu's on-base streak ends at 10 plate appearances
DENVER (AP) D.J. LeMahieu singled to stretch his on-base streak to 10 plate appearances for the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday before he struck out to end the first inning of a game against the Washington Nationals.
LeMahieu lined a single to left field off Stephen Strasburg during a seven-run first, then struck out looking after Colorado batted around.
It was the first time Washington retired LeMahieu during this three-game series. LeMahieu was 4 for 4 on Monday and 3 for 3 with a walk Tuesday. He also walked in his final at-bat Sunday against Philadelphia.
LeMahieu's success this series raised his batting average to .343, second in the NL behind Nationals infielder Daniel Murphy at .348.

Do you want to know how I restored my health from Ulcerative Colitis? Among other things, the GAPS Diet!
For the past five years, I have been successfully steering myself away from the vicious cycle of auto-immune disease. Now my mission is to shed light on serious gut disorders…to be a shining example of the truth that food can have such a positive impact on just about any condition!
What I have witnessed in myself as well as many others can be found in one simple statement:
Food is truly the foundation for a Super Life!
Autoimmune Disorders are Lifestyle Disorders
Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory condition of the large bowel that can be very difficult to diagnose and treat. Every case is different. However, I believe that Ulcerative Colitis, as well as all autoimmune disorders, all point to our lifestyle and environment. The disease is the result of a multitude of components, including emotion, food, stress, environment and genetic pre-disposition. Science is now revealing that genes only contribute to less than 10% of the disease itself – the other 90% is our lifestyle and environment. So it turns out, we are not victims to our genes…
"Genes Load the Gun, Environment Pulls the Trigger" ~ Dr Francis Collins
{ click here to tweet the above quote }
GAPS Diet
How did I restore my health? After years of ill health, I chose to go down the path of Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS), with the addition of organic butter, buttermilk and raw milk kefir to assist in restoring my gut and immune system. This path has enabled me to come off medications, which I was on for over 10 years!
Changing my diet and entire approach to food and lifestyle has been a huge catalyst in changing the health of my entire body, my mind and my spirit. The journey that I have been on has brought me to a new awareness around how my body talks to me, and how I can use tools to empower harmony of the body and not suppress it.
Modern Medicine and Hospitals – Ugh!
Now I've had my fair share of hospital and medical visits over the course of my life. I am very aware of the "hospital food" system and how desperately it needs to be transformed!
When I first became sick, I was not aware that things like jelly, white bread sandwiches and soft drinks would be offered to me in hospital after a colonoscopy. These (and similar low nutrition foods) would be given to me in order to help "heal my condition." But in reality, they were actually feeding my inflammation, the very cause of my disease, not my health and recovery!
On top of this, the colonoscopy 'pre-prep' acts to completely strip one's gut of all its good bacteria – the very bacteria which are the foundation of a healthy functioning immune system!
The awareness around this issue must change! Our 'traditional' health care system must also change – it can no longer afford to send the message that these types of processed man made foods can aid in recovery and healing.
Luckily my innate wisdom led me to not touch the hospital food. I remember thinking to myself that I would be happy to go on strike from eating! This was because the hospital food was so unappetizing and unappealing. Given my degree of sickness, this was not an easy decision to make – as I was being told that I must eat.
Medical Doctors are Only Trained about Drugs
A wonderful thing happened to me about a year after I switched to GAPS. I went to see my gastroenterologist for a check-up. It was my first appointment since being off the big drugs. And what happened? Everything was in 'peak' condition – very much to my gastro's surprise!
On the way home, I stopped to see my naturopath (who also has a background in western medicine) to talk about the GAPS Diet. I asked her: "How can I really get my gastro to understand that this is a digestive disorder and that food is a huge factor?"
My naturopath said to me: "I can only guess that he and many other gastroenterologists go home every night wishing there was something more they could do for their patients than give them drugs, but they have not been trained in anything other than drugs, so it is wrong for us to expect that from them BUT you can be that gift to them – you can show them that there is something more they can do for their patients."
Future Transformation
Now I have regularly observed even with friends who consider themselves healthy that occasional processed "junk food" is an acceptable part of our diet and lifestyle.
Now, I totally acknowledge there are massive changes taking place, such as farmers' markets, organic health food shops, and micro-communities, which are popping up all over the globe – and I am so excited for what lies ahead on these fronts.
But I strongly believe that mainstream society's idea of junk food needs to be completely transformed.
So, that is exactly what I am doing. I want to spend my life being a gift to others – to those who have been in my own situation. I want to educate and empower people in prevention, and empower them not to get into my situation, and not to simply accept conventional medicine without question.
That is my passion.
I am determined for Paleo, GAPS and grain-free dietary approaches to be accepted by the medical profession. I am striving to close the gap between modern and holistic healthcare approaches. Patients have a right to understand ALL the options – so they can make the most informed decisions in relation to a "combination" of treatments.
In the next instalment, I will tell you my story!
Peace, Love, Health

Colon screening by optical colonoscopy (OC) or computed tomographic colonography (CTC) requires a laxative bowel preparation, which inhibits screening participation.
To assess the performance of detecting adenomas 6 mm or larger and patient experience of laxative-free, computer-aided CTC.
Prospective test comparison of laxative-free CTC and OC. The CTC included electronic cleansing and computer-aided detection. Optical colonoscopy examinations were initially blinded to CTC results, which were subsequently revealed during colonoscope withdrawal; this method permitted reexamination to resolve discrepant findings. Unblinded OC served as a reference standard. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT01200303)
Multicenter ambulatory imaging and endoscopy centers.
605 adults aged 50 to 85 years at average to moderate risk for colon cancer.
Per-patient sensitivity and specificity of CTC and first-pass OC for detecting adenomas at thresholds of 10 mm or greater, 8 mm or greater, and 6 mm or greater; per-lesion sensitivity and survey data describing patient experience with preparations and examinations.
For adenomas 10 mm or larger, per-patient sensitivity of CTC was 0.91 (95% CI, 0.71 to 0.99) and specificity was 0.85 (CI, 0.82 to 0.88); sensitivity of OC was 0.95 (CI, 0.77 to 1.00) and specificity was 0.89 (CI, 0.86 to 0.91). Sensitivity of CTC was 0.70 (CI, 0.53 to 0.83) for adenomas 8 mm or larger and 0.59 (CI, 0.47 to 0.70) for those 6 mm or larger; sensitivity of OC for adenomas 8 mm or larger was 0.88 (CI, 0.73 to 0.96) and 0.76 (CI, 0.64 to 0.85) for those 6 mm or larger. The specificity of OC at the threshold of 8 mm or larger was 0.91 and at 6 mm or larger was 0.94. Specificity for OC was greater than that for CTC, which was 0.86 at the threshold of 8 mm or larger and 0.88 at 6 mm or larger (P = 0.02). Reported participant experience for comfort and difficulty of examination preparation was better with CTC than OC.
There were 3 CTC readers. The survey instrument was not independently validated.
Computed tomographic colonography was accurate in detecting adenomas 10 mm or larger but less so for smaller lesions. Patient experience was better with laxative-free CTC. These results suggest a possible role for laxative-free CTC as an alternate screening method.

Sewell Financing Options
Finding the Perfect Fit
In the spirit of exceptional service, we offer a number of different ways to finance a vehicle. Presenting options and walking you through all the ins and outs to find the best finance package for you is the expertise of your Sewell business manager. In general, our financing packages fall into two broad categories: leasing and traditional financing.
A lease can be a good way to have a more affordable payment than when buying a car. Your lease payment covers only the vehicle depreciated value (plus the lessor's monthly finance charges), not the entire purchase value. Most vehicles are leased for 24 to 48 months. We don't recommend leasing a vehicle for longer than its general warranty. For people who drive an average number of miles and take good care of their vehicles, leasing is a good financing alternative. Note: If the vehicle incurs excessive wear and tear or mileage during the lease period, a fee will be assessed when the vehicle is turned in, unless you have coverage such as our ExcessWear Waiver.
Does Leasing From Sewell Make Sense?
It makes a lot of sense. There are a lot of companies that only do vehicle leasing. They aren't actually automotive dealers; when you lease from them, they have to go to a dealership to acquire the car before they can lease it to you. In other words, they're middlemen. And where there's a middleman, there's usually a markup. When you lease from Sewell, there's no middleman.
Traditional Financing
Traditional financing is an installment transaction over a period of time. You agree to pay the amount financed, plus an agreed-upon finance charge. Traditional financing is probably right for you if you like the idea of owning a vehicle or you plan to keep the car for more than a few years. Sewell works with many different lenders to offer you competitive rates. A big part of our service is staying on top of the finance market, knowing which lenders have the best offers at any given time. Talk to your Sewell business manager about what we are seeing in the market today.
