SPOT Additional Service: Type & Send
Type & Send
Use the Type & Send feature to send custom SOS, Help and Check-in/OK messages.
Let Them Know More with Type & Send
Type & Send allows custom messages to be created from your SPOT device that are delivered over the satellite network to emergency personnel, your personal contacts, or selected social networks from virtually anywhere regardless of cellular service.
If you use SPOT Connect, you can use the Type & Send feature for short messages you want to send, anytime, virtually anywhere. Every message carries your GPS location too!
Use Type & Send to create custom messages:
Send up to 41 characters in a message
Messages will be sent directly to the contact groups you select via email or SMS
Post custom messages on Twitter or Facebook
If you encounter problems, you can send SOS messages describing your situation
Type & Send Message Delivery
When you send a Type & Send Message, you are sending one message to a Contact Group. Whether you have one person or 50 people in that contact group, you are only charged for one message. In other words, you only get charged for each time you send a Type & Send message, not by how many people it gets delivered to.
Configuring your SPOT Contacts
Configure your contacts and contact groups in your
SPOT account.
These are the people that receive your messages. New with the SPOT Connect application, is the ability to add or change contact information from within cellular or wi-fi range right from your smartphone.

New SPOT Connect users get a free trial (5 messages) of Type & Send when the Basic Plan is activated. You can remain on an a la carte plan and pay as you use.
Purchase a Bundle options for Type & Send
By purchasing a bundle you get a better per message rate.
Australia (inc GST)
$54.99 USD / 500 Msgs
$32.99 USD / 100 Msgs
New Zealand (inc GST)
$57.49 USD / 500 Msgs
$34.49 USD / 100 Msgs
SMS Charges and Bundles
Because SPOT delivers SMS messages to contacts via an SMS mobile aggregator, SPOT incurs a charge to deliver these messages. This is on top of any Type & Send charges. See above in the description about Type & Send Message Delivery and in the chart for more info. Each message sent to an SMS contact is tallied. 200 SMS messages are included with Basic Service. Purchase bundles or pay as you go beyond your included allotment.
Never run out - Auto Renew
If choosing a bundle, you will also have the option to have the bundle auto renew. This bundle will only auto renew when your account runs out of messages. There is a 10 message buffer so you never run out of messages. These bundles are an annual plan. If you chose auto renewal, and run out of message before your renewal date, your bundle will auto renew when you get down to those 10 messages. If you don't use all your message before your renewal date, you end up losing those messages as they don't roll over in an annual plan..

Datsik headlines Winter Whiteout 3 at Cargo
Datsik called in from Calgary for this interview literally minutes before he experienced what figured to be one of the most exciting moments in his preparations for this winter's "Ninja Nation 2017" tour, which is coming to Reno.
"The reason I'm actually in Calgary right now is to go do rehearsals, and I haven't actually even seen the whole stage finished yet," Datsik said in early January. "That's how pushed back we are. We start the tour in a week, and I'm about to see it in, like, half an hour for the first time ever fully assembled."
Anyone who has seen Datsik in concert knows his stage set and visual production are central parts of the event. For example, his recent tours were centered around a stage set he called the Vortex where Datsik performed inside what looked like a huge funnel, lit with an array of ever-changing animation, colors and shapes.
But Datsik feels his new stage set, dubbed the Shogun, takes the visual impact of his show to another level.
"The Shogun, I would say, is probably the craziest thing I've come up with to date," he said. "It looks like a giant ninja temple using all these different LED panels and LED strips and really cool, different-looking lights that I've never used before. And then on top of that, I'm basically embodying what it is to be a rave ninja.
I basically, all I'll say is I'm wearing something that is really cool, that I designed myself, that like fully ties me into the stage.
So, when you see it and you see me, it will all be one cohesive unit and I think it's going to look insane. I'm so, so excited to finally reveal it. I've been working on it for like, six months now."
Going ninja
This isn't the first time Datsik has gone ninja on his fans with his live show. His 2014 EP was called "Down 4 My Ninjas" and in 2015, he did his first edition of the "Ninja Nation" tour. That stage set, though, still featured the Vortex as the central visual element to go with an elaborate range of lasers and lighting effects.
That he now is bringing full-on ninja visual into his show makes sense considering the 28-year-old producer/DJ (real name Troy Beetles) has been fascinated by the ninja world since childhood.
"I guess it's just ever since I was young, I've always had a crazy fascination with ninjas and even the whole Japanese culture," Datsik said. "Even in school, I took Japanese classes, trying to learn how to speak Japanese. I basically would collect all these different like animes (animated ninja characters) that I watch and basically figurines, toys essentially, that are like really cool, really well done and crafted, cool-looking toys that I have in a display case at home that is crammed full with different ninjas and stuff. And I eat sushi probably every day. ... I just think that there's nothing cooler than ninjas. Their aesthetic is amazing. They're respectful, they're stealth and they look dope. And yeah, I've always been into it. I used to love Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat was one of my favorite games growing up. And with this whole new stage that I'm doing, I'm basically embodying a Mortal Kombat character, like turning into kind of a Mortal Kombat character. It's going to look crazy."
All about the music
Of course, music will be another central component of the "Ninja Nation 2017" show. And from the sound of things, it might be a good idea to check out Datsik's new EP, "Sensei," before the show.
That's because all seven tracks from the EP figure to pop up in his set in one form or another.
"This is the first time I've actually put out a full EP of stuff I'm really happy with," Datsik said. "Like, I always try to find a compromise, to be like OK, I think people are going to like this (track) and then I really like this one. Then I'll end up only playing the one that I really like. So, with this EP, I feel like I'm for sure going to be playing every single track from it, which is kind of a change for me because it kind of opens things up. I can take the vocals from one of those tracks and play it over another one of those tracks, take the bass line from another one of those tracks and play it over a different track. So, it's kind of cool being able to take all of the new stuff that I've done that people have been listening to on Spotify or whatever and then, like, mash them up all together into something completely fresh that they've never heard before."
The "Sensei" EP started out with more modest intentions than what it became. Datsik said he originally envisioned it as a four-track release, but about a week before he was due to finish the project, he wrote three additional tracks, including the title song, which suddenly gave the EP a theme and focus that had been missing up to that point.
"The name was the last thing I came up with," Datsik said. "(Before that) I didn't really know where I was going with it (the EP). And I kind of figured out the theme and then I bounced it around to a couple of people and I was like 'What do you think I should call this?' And they were like 'Oh dude, you've got to lead the EP with 'Sensei' for sure.' I was like 'OK, the 'Sensei' EP it is.' And it kind of all just tied together."
The EP finds Datsik continuing to evolve his music. Since coming on the scene in 2009, the native of Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, has been known as a pioneer of dubstep, a bass-heavy, hard-hitting and sonically robust style that remains one of the most popular subgenres of electronic music. But over the course of three full-length albums and a trio of EPs, Datsik has blended a variety of other musical styles into his sound.
On "Sensei," Datsik continues to keep dubstep at the center of his sound, especially on tracks like "Redemption," "Just Saiyan'" and "Nasty." But he stretches his sound with the title track (a blend of dubstep and Asian-type tones) and "Gravity" (a mellower, more pop-ish tune with playful vocal effects and a lush melody).
Meanwhile, "Wreckless" mixes in some ambient tones, some hip-hop bounce and raps from guest AD, while "Fly Low" mashes electronic and hip-hop together in almost equal amounts.
Datsik pointed to "Gravity" as an example of how he plans to continue to grow musically on his albums and EPs.
"It's tracks like 'Gravity' that always keep me evolving and keep me moving forward in a direction that I want to be going in because without tracks like that, I feel like I'm redoing the same thing," he said. "If I deliver an EP in a way where I have a balance of the mellow, cool melodic stuff mixed with the heavy bangers, then that way I'm keeping everyone happy and I'm also keeping myself happy, with writing something new and something that's out there and something that's testing my skills as a producer."

It's been a long time since we heard about plans to bring Motorola's Droid Pro to Europe, dropping the Droid moniker, as the Motorola Pro. The Droid Pro's been out in the US since fall of last year, and over winter we learned of plans for its global launch. Since then, though, things have been pretty quiet. We had heard of its French launch last month, but the UK has been kept waiting. Now it finally looks like the Pro is about to arrive, in about a month's time.
Retailer Clove has updated its page for the Pro to reflect "mid-late September" availability. Until then, you can get in your pre-order for the phone (assuming you trust the release not to see additional delays), and then pick it up when the day comes for what works out to just under $700. If this release window sticks, we might be able to narrow-down the date even a little more as we move into September.
That's some serious cash to drop on a year-old Android with a 3.1-inch screen, Froyo, and a single-core processor, but it's not so easy to find Androids with this kind of BlackBerry-like form factor, and for recovering BB addicts, that could be the Motorola Pro's big selling point. Has anyone out there eagerly been awaiting this one?

Webapps on App Engine, Part 5: Sessions
Posted by Nick Johnson | Filed under python, coding, app-engine, tech, framework
This is part of a series on writing a webapp framework for App Engine Python. For details, see the introductory post here.
Sessions are another component that's regularly required by webapps, but isn't really a core part of a framework. In this post, we'll discuss the session mechanisms available for App Engine and how they work, and settle on a recommendation for our own lightweight framework.
The basic mechanism behind a session library is straightforward: A random session ID is generated for the user, which is embedded in an HTTP cookie and sent to the user. Meanwhile, a record is created on the server with the same ID, containing any data the webapp wants to store about this user. When the user makes a subsequent request, the session library decodes the session ID from the cookie header, and loads the corresponding session record from permanent storage.
There are three major advantages of handling sessions this way, rather than naively storing session data directly in the cookie:
- We can store data that the client shouldn't be able to modify, such as the user's access flags.
- We can store data the client shouldn't even be able to read, or shouldn't be sent in the clear, such as their credentials.
- We can store more data than can be practically carried in an HTTP cookie.
There are, of course, situations in which some of these constraints don't apply. Sometimes none of them apply, such as in the case of preference cookies; sometimes size is not an issue, but we want integrity and/or confidentiality. In these cases, many session libraries provide "cookie only" sessions, which store the data entirely in the cookie, while adding signing and/or encryption to prevent tampering or reading of the cookie data by the user.
Using cookie-only sessions has one major advantage: You remove the necessity to retrieve the user's data from storage on each request. This needs to be balanced with the limited storage on the one hand, and the need to embed a secret key in your code that can be used to sign and verify the cookies.
For non-cookie sessions, the session data needs to be stored somewhere. Many systems use the local filesystem, but this isn't practical in the case of distributed systems like App engine. On App Engine, that leaves us with two main options: Memcache, and the datastore.
Memcache initially seems like quite an attractive option, as it's substantially faster to query and update than the datastore. This comes with a major caveat, though: Since memcache makes no guarantees about how long values will persist, there's absolutely no guarantee that your session will still be around when the user comes back for it.
Losing the occasional user session doesn't seem like to much of a problem at first, but there are several factors that need consideration. If you're using sessions to implement a shopping site, losing a user's session is the absolute last thing you want to do: A user who suddenly loses the contents of their shopping cart is quite likely to simply leave, costing you one or even multiple sales. Even if sales aren't involved, if users regularly get logged out of their accounts, they may grow frustrated with your site and leave. Ad-hoc testing isn't sufficient to establish how much of an issue this is, either: Problems may not come up when you test the system with a reasonable load, but may instead occur when the system's under heavy load.
The other option, of course, is the Datastore. At the cost of a little extra latency, we gain near perfect reliability. With proper design, fetching the session should only require a single datastore get operation, too - no queries, which are much more expensive.
Hybrid approaches are of course also possible: We can store to both memcache and the datastore, and fetch from one, then the other, thus minimizing latency whenever memcache is available.
Enough theorizing - let's take a look at the ready-made sessions libraries for App Engine. The first one is Beaker.
Beaker is a standalone library for session handling, implemented as WSGI middleware. It also includes caching middleware. Beaker supports App Engine datastore sessions,
though an open bug means that the library currently needs some modification to work on App Engine (Edit: Now fixed!).
Using Beaker is a matter of downloading and unpacking it into your app's root directory, then opening beaker/cache.py and deleting or commenting out lines 29 through 51 - the section dealing with pkg_resources, which is unavailable on App Engine - as well as line 10, which imports pkg_resources. To use Beaker, we simply insert it as middleware, like this:
router = WSGIRouter() #... beaker_opts = { 'session.type': 'ext:google', } application = beaker.SessionMiddleware(router)
The session.type configuration option tells beaker what session storage to use - in this case, the Google datastore. Beaker also supports memcached - although not App Engine's implementation of it - and cookie-only sessions, which can be enabled by setting session.type to "cookie", and session.secret to a secret key for hashing and encrypting the cookie.
Another sessions implementation is provided by gaeutilities. gaeutilities supports datastore, memcache, and pure-cookie sessions. Using gaeutilities' sessions is even simpler:
session = appengine_utilities.sessions.Session() session["keyname"] = "value" # sets keyname to value print session["keyname"] # will print value
As you can see, no middleware is required in this case - gaeutilities takes advantage of App Engine's use of the system environment to retrieve session data. gaeutilities also includes features such as token rotation to make session hijacking more difficult, while Beaker uses only a single session ID.
One quick caveat: Unlike beaker, gaeutilities does not encrypt or sign cookie-only sessions, so they should only be used for data where user tampering is not a concern.
We've looked at two good sessions libraries for App Engine. Either one would be a good choice for our framework. Given the current state, however, gaeutilities seems like the better choice: It doesn't require modifications to work, it's built specifically for App Engine, and if you need a lightweight library, you can easily take just the session handling code and not include the rest of the library.Previous Post Next Post

Career Advice Series: 10 Job Interview Preparation Tips for Onsite Interviews
Imagine waiting outside the office of the person who will give you that job interview. Minutes from now, you'll be inside face to face with that interviewer who can either make or break your job application for the position you have long been aspiring for.
You may have probably passed all other exhaustive screening requirements, but without getting through with this critical stage of your job application – all may be put to waste.
Below are 10 helpful tips that you can refer to increase your chances of landing the job you want.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 1: Know the company before you interview!" orientation="left"]
It is a good idea to do some research about the company you are applying at. You can ask over the phone, or you can look at their websites. Many have now Internet presence and you can easily find information about the company there and their business.
You should have some knowledge about the employer you are interested in. You don't want to be caught speechless, with questions – "why do you want to work in our company?" or "what do you know about our products and services" - simple questions that a little research would have had answered.
Being able to answer such types of questions will impress your interviewer. It gives the impression that you are always ready for any battle you will be put into – similarly in actual job setting, they will perceive you to be able to do well in the job applied for.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 2: Be prepared." orientation="left"]
If you have a scheduled job interview, make sure you have an idea who will conduct it. In this way, you will have an idea on the probable question that you'll have to answer during the particular interview.
If such would be the HR personnel, expect some general questions about your work experience. There will also be questions that would probably test your way of thinking or how stable your emotions may be on pressured situations.
There will also be questions that will ask you your plans for your career – and what your direction will be, several years from now. It is best to answer this well, preferably with mention to your career goals and how you plan to achieve them. This will show that you are the type who plans, and is proactively making things happen for your career. Being so, will tell that you are a good planner and is assertive.
If such would be the direct superior for your department, expect technical questions related to your field. It is expected that you can provide the necessary details that are directly related to your job.
You are assumed to be knowledgeable on all facets of the current position you are applying, so you may want to review some theories that may be of use. Make sure you can articulate these theories and other practical aspects of your job. Being able to do so will show that you are technically capable for the job requirement.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 3: Dress Appropriately." orientation="left"]
This is quite simple but often taken for granted. Specific industries and certain positions require that you dress up accordingly. Make sure you know what is acceptable according to the company's standards – and not merely to what you think it to be. How you look still does matter in most cases.
Prepare the clothes the night before or even earlier. Shine your shoes. Make sure you will come for the interview neat and clean.
Women should preferably come in with a conservative suit, coordinated blouse and limited jewelry. There should be a decent hairstyle and sparse make-up. Avoid short skirts that probably won't fit in a conservative business environment.
For men, a conservative suit is also in order with a white long sleeve shirt. Conservative tie, clean and professional shoes and a neat hairstyle are suggested. If possible make sure to cover body parts with tattoos.
First impressions do have an effect. While there should be no discrimination as well to this regard, but you should leave no room for such to affect your job application. In the real scenario, how you look plays a major part on how interviewers will judge you.
Your appropriate suits or dresses are worthwhile investments for your job and career. Allocate and spend some money for these, eventually and after landing the job you want, you can easily cover up these expenses.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 4: Be ready to answer well the seemingly silly questions." orientation="left"]
There are job interviewers who are more adventurous with their questioning. Some may ask, "If you were an animal, what would you be?" Such questions may put you off-guard, but you need not be – there is no right or wrong answers for these. It all boils down to how you justify your answers.
You could say that you'd be a tiger, as you'll never stop until you catch your prey (or hit your goals?). Or you could also say that you'd be a deer, as you will ensure that there will be no cutthroat competition within your department, and that there will be harmony and teamwork where you will be assigned. So whether you are the predator, or even the prey, as long as you give it a good justification – that will be good and acceptable enough.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 5: Practice, practice and practice." orientation="left"]
You may also try to practice your answers to general questions you think will be asked. There are also some technical questions that you should be able to discuss with ease so that the interviewer will find you to be knowledgeable and eloquent.
If you can, try to be in front of the mirror and watch your gestures and mannerisms as well. Eliminate those that you feel you need to take out, and practice having a decent body language that go well with your answers.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 6: Have a positive attitude." orientation="left"]
Whether you have a positive attitude or otherwise, will show during job interviews. Especially if you will be with an experienced job interviewer, your personality can easily be read. The 'true you' would be transparent, and hoping to hide behind your flowery words would be of no use.
While this may require quite a degree of personal change, it is only but healthy for you and for those who you will eventually work with if you have a positive attitude. The dynamics of a group environment would be ideal with members who are optimistic and works their best to achieve the group's objectives.
Having a positive attitude may require some time – especially if you have been pessimistic most of your life. But if you keep at it – you'll succeed little by little and step by step. The important thing is that you are improving at each step of the way. And mind you – even a slight improvement will show and can do well to give the right impression to the interviewer.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 7: Stay calm." orientation="left"]
Arrive 15 to 20 minutes early before the actual interview time. This will ensure you will not be gasping for breath in front of your interviewer as you were hurrying your way up to the office.
And during the interview, listen well to the interviewer's questions and get the main concept of his question and answer that point. Stay relaxed and concentrate well. Though you may feel the pressure for badly wanting the job, it will be to your disadvantage if you allow your feelings to get the best of you.
Staying calm will allow you to focus. You will be more alert to the questions thrown at you, and you will be able to give the right answers to these. Find comfort in the thought that you are doing your best, and with some stroke of luck – and hopefully with some divine intervention, you may just get the job. Whatever thought that relaxes you, find it and dwell on this.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 8: Be Honest." orientation="left"]
In all things, be honest. In job interviews, it will do you no good to mislead your potential employer. While you may succeed in getting hired, you will still be subjected to job evaluations that would eventually show how poor a hire you are. Your immediate boss may find it insulting and will end your stay with cause.
Be truthful with regards to your strengths and weaknesses. Be proud about your strengths and strong points, but don't be shy to tell your weaknesses. We all have weaknesses, who doesn't?
Even big-time CEOs have some weaknesses. What makes them so successful though is the fact that they concentrate on their core strengths, and delegate those areas where they lag behind to a more effective staff which have these as their expertise. They also make an effort to reinforce their weak areas, as a well-rounded executive can always make better decisions.
So again, you can't go wrong with honesty. You need not hide so much during job interviews, and you will be consistent will all your answers. It will also be a plus factor for being honest, and a wise prospective will employer will notice that and value you for it.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 9: Express your eagerness to learn and the willingness to be trained." orientation="left"]
Let's face it. Getting the job you want is a competition. Many qualified applicants may be vying for the same position. And what could make it difficult for you is that there may be more qualified applicants than you are next to you in the lobby. They may hold higher educational degrees and some industry specific skills you don't have.
So what could set you apart? It would be the eagerness to learn new things and being willing to be trained for whatever challenges placed in front of you. Being so would mean you are flexible and can adapt to change. You are open to taking on new challenges or perhaps covering up for a co-worker who may be absent.
If you have taken on a challenge on your previous jobs, mention these during the interview. Cite specific examples on why you claim to be able to respond will to change and on any new assignments or projects given to you. These will bring more weight to your claims and may become valid, as they really are, in the eyes of your interviewer.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Job Interview Tip # 10: Ask the right questions." orientation="left"]
At the end of the interview, the interviewer will usually allow you to ask some questions you may have in mind. While definitely there are a lot you may want to ask, your questions should be chosen tastefully.
Such questions to ask may be: "What are the responsibilities that come with the job?", What is the career path for this position?", "What is the management style of the company?", "Is this a new position? If so, why was there a need to create such?" and "How can one move up the corporate ladder?".
Don't overdo this portion though, and don't take too much of your interviewer's time. Choose only those questions you feel are important for your part to make a decision if you would like to work here – assuming of course that you get the job offer.
[thrive_headline_focus title="Moving On – In Search of Excellence!" orientation="center"]
While it is a fact that you don't always get what you want. It is not a reason to dwell on your failure to close the deal and get the job you want. A variety of factors come into play, and you will not have all these under your control.
What you can do is continue on with the search – and while doing so, move on in search of excellence as well. One should not be content with one's present state of knowledge and skills. And while it has been said that it is a tight competition out there in the job market, it would do you well to have more skills and more to offer to your prospective employer.
Take short-term courses or perhaps do online learning. The avenues for learning have become more affordable and convenient. The offerings are pretty much varied from managerial courses to accounting, financial, engineering, vocational & technician courses. Online learning even offers masters and doctorate degrees.
These may be viable options for you, to make you more qualified and stand out above the rest. It will also widen your options on the positions you can take. Never ceasing on the opportunity to learn will do you good eventually – it will only be a matter of time when the right job opportunity for you comes along, and you'll be able to respond to the challenge effectively.

Bob Santamaria was born in Sydney Road, Brunswick, almost in the shadow of Princes Park, the home ground of the Carlton Football Club. Throughout his life he was a loyal follower and supporter of the Blues.
Left to right: Miriam and Brian Peachey, andBob Santamaria at the 1992 Grand Final at the MCG.
Australian Rules football meant much more to him than being a one-eyed follower. In 1983 he said: "Throughout my life I have had such a deep regard for the game as exemplifying the very best in the Australian character and I would regard it as a disaster if it faded out." He went on to say: "This is what is happening to Australian Rules due to the acquisitiveness of wealthy men, television and sponsorship, and a facade of a corporate structure allied to modern finance."
He likened some aspects of the fate of football to that of the nation. During the early 1980s there were reports of clubs on the verge of bankruptcy and solutions proposed by the "acquisitive wealthy men" and suggestions to make the great game national.
The 1983 Foschini case in the Victorian Supreme Court troubled him. Silvio Foschini played for South Melbourne but did not want to stay with the club when it was to move to Sydney. He was cleared to play with St Kilda and successfully claimed that the VFL's clearance rules were a restraint of trade.
Bob said that the case made player contracts inevitable and he predicted clubs would buy and sell players like cattle and count them as assets.
The sun has emphatically set on the game that Bob Santamaria knew and loved. He said: "It was a game, whose purpose was entertainment, not advertising or cash flow. It was entertainment for the family, particularly fathers and sons. The price was cheap enough for all members of the family to go to the local ground every Saturday."
I understood and shared Bob's feeling for the unique Australian game. I sat with him at the MCG during the 1992 Grand Final and must admit that I was openly pleased that the West Coast Eagles won and took the trophy out of Victoria for the first time.
Today Bob's fears and predictions have proved true. The AFL is now an economic giant and the game has changed. There is little long-term club loyalty among the now 18 teams with more than 800 players on generous contracts. Bob's prediction that players would be "traded like cattle" for big money, is a reality.
The trading ceiling price has not been reached, despite the contract recently signed by Fremantle Dockers and Nat Fyfe, said to be $1 million a year for six years. There are now 97 players who receive $500,000 or more each year.
Every weekend nine games are played in five states in big stadiums, where the price of entry is more than low-income families can afford. Every game is televised by Foxtel, available only to those who can afford to subscribe.
Football is now everything that Bob Santamaria was opposed to. It is what he predicted: "A highly capitalised business, played by professionals, not for a sporting public composed of families, but for television audiences financed by a television company."
The consolidated revenue of the AFL in 2016 was $570 million and its chief executive received a salary higher than the highest-paid player earned, $1,740,000.

Emerald Town
From Sonic Retro
Revision as of 06:45, 21 September 2019 by Black Squirrel (talk | contribs) (Text replacement - "{{SonicBattleOmni}} Category:Sonic Battle levels" to "==References== <references /> {{SonicBattleOmni}}")
|Emerald Town
|First level, Sonic Battle
|Level theme: tropical island
|Secondary level theme: urban
|Tertiary level theme: cyberspace
Emerald Town is a beachside suburb of Central City. It features as the first overworld area visited in Sonic Battle for the Game Boy Advance. Sonic Battle describes Emerald Town as "The place where Sonic and his friends live" (at the very start of the game, in the forward to Sonic's episode); and Tails, at least, maintains a house and laboratory there.
Sonic Battle opens with Sonic discovering a damaged and bedraggled Emerl abandoned on Emerald Beach. He decides to take the robot to Tails to see if it can be repaired, but is waylayed first by a curiously enfeebled Shadow, then by Rouge the Bat, both of whom warn him not to let Dr. Eggman get his hands on the robot. Tails mentions that a machine much like Emerl has been reported as robbing jewelry stores in the area, although with the appearence of the E-121 Phis it becomes obvious that Eggman is responsible.
Due to the non-linear nature of Sonic Battle's stages, other characters return to Emerald Town in their own episodes, typically to visit Sonic (who can usually be found training at Emerald Beach), or Tails' lab for the reassembly of Chaos Emeralds from their shards. Rouge also comes to the district, like the E-121 Phis, to rob a jewelry store with Emerl's help.
Battle Arenas
|Battle Highway
|Emerald Beach
|Tails' Lab
|While most fights in the Battle Highway arena occur in Central City proper, a few confrontations in Sonic's Episode take place in the street right outside Tails' house; including the game's very first fight, against Shadow.
|Sonic's preferred training ground, Emerald Beach is where the blue hedgehog confronts Rouge. This is also where Sonic and Tails take Emerl for some of their knock-out practice fights.
|Tails' lab is the fox's own training area, and the first place in the game where Sonic and Emerl come under attack from Eggman's Phi-series robots. Aside from the physical battle area, the lab also contains...
|...A virtual reality training environment, which can conjure up locations from all over the game, as well as this traditional Tron-style Colosseum. It is only by consecutive victories in the VR training that Emerl can unlock his Ultimate-level techniques.
| Trivia sections are bad
Try and incorporate this information into the main article. See the manual of style to find out why.
- Emerald Town receives a mention in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood; as the area of Central City to which Sonic and co. return the child rescued from the Green Hill Zone giant scorpion cave. Here, however, the area is neither particularly tropical nor beach adjacent.
- One of the houses resembles Tails' head.

this one and this one) show that certain capabilities indeed decline from a certain age but other capabilities peak at a higher age and some do not peak at all (they can continue to grow stronger). Harvard researcher Laura Germine summarize how cognitive capabilities peak at different ages in this picture:
Aside from the domain of cognitive capabilities their are all sorts of different aspects of our functioning which may continue to grow as we grow old. For example, old age is often associated with wisdom and mildness. This may have to do with the following. My hypothesis is that as we grow old be may get better at transcending our own ego-centrism which may make us milder and more empathetic and see things in a broader and more realistic perspective. At a young age we can worry a lot about what other people may think about us. This may have to do with the phenomenon that many young people feel that other people think a lot about them and have all kinds of judgments about them. Many young people, in a sense, feel as though they are a the center of the world, not only to themselves but also to other people. While they think that other people think a lot about them, this is not the case. Other people are primarily thinking a lot about themselves and their own lives. Eleanor Roosevelt once summarized this as follows: "You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you would realize that they seldom do."
As we grow older we may develop an ever more realistic perspective. Perhaps this more realistic perspective creates new opportunities for progress. That more realistic perspective may be - I am saying 'may be' because I am speculating; I am not yet that old - that other people are complex just as we are, and that they may have doubts and worries just like us. We may realize that we are less unique than we thought and that we may think less dramatically about our own discomforts and suffering. If we do, and thus transcendent our own ego-centrism to some extend, we may make free more room for focusing on helping other people and for focusing on improving our living environments.

About your host, Marie De Bry Arts Academy
Welcome to Marie De Bry Arts Academy! Being a music teacher, Marie is a firm believer in the importance of music education. It can bring joy to students, while inspiring you and it giving you the chance to be creative. Plus, it helps you develop your brain! These are just a few of the many reasons why learning a musical instrument is great and progressive self-investment.
While growing up, Marie's parents often mentioned the following moto:
"When you play a piece of music to a child, he/she will be happy for a few minutes. But if you teach the child how to play a musical instrument, he/she will be happy for the rest of his/her life."
Thinking back about her musical and personal development, being enrolled in music lessons was one of the best things her parents did. Learning how to express herself through music, it became in itself an additional means of communication. Having seen how much joy music can bring to people's lives, as well as empowering and enriching their body and soul, she wanted to find a way to reach more students. So she set up the Marie De Bry Arts Academy!
The school's aim is to spread the passion for music through their music teachers, while improving the approach of ways to learn a musical instrument in more entertaining ways.
You don't need to buy an instrument straight away, as our music tutors can guide you with every step.

Note: Effective immediately, The Ohio State University has closed the Testing Center at the Student Academic Services Building in Columbus, Ohio, and will not administer tests there (internal and external) until May 31, 2020. For current information about the testing center, use this link.
The Department of Mathematics offers credit by examination for a number of courses. Students who believe their math placement results are inaccurate may schedule a Proficiency Exam for the course of their initial placement. New students starting school at OSU in August should follow the Autumn Proficiency Exams procedure for new students. Students who demonstrate proficiency will be permitted to schedule more advanced courses.
Math Courses with Proficiency Exams
The following classes within the Department of Mathematics have a proficiency test available. This allows students to show sufficient content knowledge of a course, earn EM credit, and progress forward without having to take the class during regular semester classes.
Proficiency Exams are available for:
- Math 1050 Precollege Mathematics I (no credit awarded)
- Math 1075 Precollege Mathematics II (no credit awarded)
- Math 1130 College Algebra for Business
- Math 1131 Calculus for Business
- Math 1148 College Algebra
- Math 1149 Trigonometry
- Math 1150 Precalculus
- Math 1151 Calculus I
- Math 1152 Calculus II
- Math 1172 Engineering Mathematics A
- Math 2153 Calculus III
Before Test Day
Students are only permitted to take the Math Proficiency Exam once and should study for this test. The Math Proficiency Exam will be similar to a cumulative final exam. Syllabi, topics lists, and practice exams can be found on each of the course pages. Students may also find additional resources on the Mathematics Statistics Learning Center's website.
The Math Proficiency Exam is a 2-hour long written (paper) exam. Students will need to provide written justification on all problems. Problems without work will not receive credit. Pay close attention to the directions as problems solved with methods other than instructed will not receive credit. Partial credit may be awarded, but students need to show ALL work.
To receive a Mathematics Proficiency Exam Referral
- Email the Math Advising Office
- Visit the Math Advising Office during Walk-in Hours
Students with disabilities should contact a disability counselor at the Ohio State Office for Disability Services at 614-292-3307 to make alternate arrangements for taking the math exam. This includes students with disabilities who may need extended time, as well as students who need a scribe, a reader or other support services. Documentation must be provided to determine eligibility before authorization can be given for accommodations.
Calculator Guidelines
Proficiency exams for Math 1050 Precollege Mathematics I and Math 1075 Precollege Mathematics II:
Only a non-CAS (Computer Algebra System) graphing calculator ar permitted, TI-83 and TI-84 are permitted. If the calculator is chosen to be used for problems that do not specifically require an algebraic solution, a clear explanation and a sketch of all graphs or tables used to solve the problem are required.
Proficiency exams for Math 1130 College Algebra for Business, Math 1131 Calculus for Business, Math 1148 College Algebra, Math 1149 Trigonometry, Math 1150 Precalculus, and Math 2153 Calculus III:
A graphing calculator without a QWERTY keyboard (e.g. TI-84) is allowed for use on these exams, but students must justify their answers by showing work to get full credit. No cellphones, laptops, or other electronic devices with full QWERTY keyboards will not be permitted and may be removed during the test. Once again, no retesting is permitted so it is imperative that students have the appropriate, approved calculator when taking their proficiency exam.
Proficiency exams for Math 1151 Calculus I, Math 1152 Calculus II, and Math 1172 Math for Engineers A:
No calculators are permitted on these exams.
After Test Day
You will be notified if you have passed or failed the Math Proficiency Exam by email two or three business days after completing the exam. If you wish to know the exact score or view your exam, you will need to come to the Math Advising Office during Walk-in hours with your BuckID.
If you pass the exam will be able to enroll in the next level Math course and any other courses that requires the course as a prerequisite. If you wish to take the Proficiency Exam for the next level math course, you must receive another test referral from the Math Advising Office.
What do the proficiency exam scores mean?
- For scores of 80% or higher: students will be eligible to enroll in the next course in the sequence and will be granted credit for the course over which they tested.
- For scores less than 80%: students need to remain in the math course indicated by their course code.

How do you plan holiday meals with the market being so overly directed at meat eaters?
What would your holiday menu look like?
For me the holidays are, as for many others, one of my absolute favorite times of the year to cook, bake and eat. When I became vegan, this sentiment was actually ramped up even further as I became passionate about and committed to finding plant based recipes and dishes for a rich and wholesome meal that I could also be proud and excited to share with others. Weeks and sometimes months before the holiday season begins, I begin crafting my menu. I've now had two vegan Thanksgivings and Christmases and never felt like being plant based took away any of the culinary flavor or spirit of the holidays I had grown accustomed to all my life.
So much of the marketing for the food industry is directed towards consuming animal based products. The more you become accustomed to a plant based diet, the easier it is to adjust your habits and look through all the marketing. I am always hopeful and glad to see more promotion of plant based eating and this area of advertisement is growing. One of marketing's key purposes is to sway our opinions to become consumers but there's not a thing the meat or dairy industry could pitch that would have me craving what they produce, though I recognize that they are all operating on overdrive to get consumers to crave and purchase their products.
Got Milk? Might not be doing you much good?, Aaron E. Carroll, NY Times
10 Things I Wish All Americans Knew About the Meat and Dairy Industries, Dave Simon, Free from Harm
Have we been milked by the dairy industry?, Anne Kingston, Macleans
Statement on Milk Industry's 'Get Real' Campaign, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine

Close to the Bone- The Fight Over Transparency in the Meat Industry, Ted Genoways, NY Times
Vegan is Going Mainstream, trend data suggests, Elizabeth Crawford, Food Navigator
During the holiday season, it is quite common that you will feel pressure from family and friends alike to consume traditional dishes that have meat and dairy in them. If you have recently transitioned to a vegan lifestyle or a plant based diet this can be an especially difficult time.
After my photos and menu tips below I've also included an extract from my 2015 Holiday Column in Vegan Health and Fitness magazine. This piece focused on tips for a vegan holiday and addresses some of the stresses you might feel during that period and communicating with friends and family to avoid or prevent uncomfortable or even divisive moments.
Not every region has stores that market to vegan consumers. Currently where we live it's really easy at local stores to find, for example, multiple vegan roasts around the holiday time, as well as all sorts of other vegan products and goodies. But before living in this town, we lived about 40 minutes north and while the local grocery stores definitely had a fair amount of mainstream vegan products, there was a significant difference to what the shops there carry.
Because that area wasn't as vegan friendly, I spent a lot more time in our kitchen than I did grabbing snacks and quick meals out and the result was becoming a lot more comfortable cooking a wide range of dishes as well as really experiencing my passion for cooking and food in general grow tremendously.
So my strategy for dealing with the heavily meat and dairy based marketing is to ignore it and go about my business of trying to make the best plant based dishes I can.
My holiday menu includes all the familiar dishes of this festive season- wild rice, mashed potatoes, root vegetables, salad, cranberry jelly, gravy, apple and pecan pie.
I have also explored several of the vegan roasts on the market. The roast may be one of the central areas to really dive into researching, particularly if you are celebrating with others who are not vegan and want that alternative. This list and this list offer a pretty comprehensive run down of vegan roasts available on the market. Some stores start selling them months before the holidays begin. My absolute favorites (and I've tasted nearly all of them) are the Field Roast 'Hazlenut Cranberry Roast En Croute' and Gardein's 'Holiday Roast'. I think it's a great idea, if you have the opportunity, to buy one or a few of these roasts before the holiday season begins and find out which one you favor.
I hope anyone reading this who is interested in having a vegan holiday or in bringing more plant based energy to their family feasts can get benefit from some tips and suggestions below.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Sea Salt, Black Pepper & Earth Balance Buttery Spread
Basil Leaves
My first attempt at vegan pecan pie- many great recipes online!
For Thanksgiving last year, we ordered vegan pies from a local bakery. A lot of bakeries are getting savvy with veganizing dishes and I like the option of ordering desserts from a bakery on holidays when I might want to focus all my kitchen energy on the savory dinner.
I recently baked an Apple Crumble that I think would be a fantastic dessert baked a day or two in advance of a holiday feast.
I was obsessed with this Butternut Squash Purée from the first time I made it and I will be happy to include it at all my future holiday feasts.
Field Roast Grain Meat's Hazlenut Cranberry Roast En Croute
Easily one of my top favorite store-bought vegan roasts
This was my "holiday sampler" last year, made several months before the holidays even began.
I wanted to make sure I had the dishes just right, saving me from a lot of experimentation or recipe research during the busy Autumn season.
Butternut Squash Puree
Slice of Field Roast Hazlenut Cranberry Roast En Croute
Buttery Mashed Potatoes with Grape Tomatoes
When the holidays rolled around, I served the above with cranberry jelly, roasted brussel sprouts and pecans and wild rice.
In the 2015 Holiday issue of Vegan Health & Fitness magazine, my column was all about not only surviving as a vegan or plant based eater during the holidays but thriving. Below are some of the tips I shared in the column for both going to feasts and parties as well as tips for hosting a vegan at your dinner party or event. Enjoy the article in full here!
Make a dish
This is probably the first thing anyone will think of to be prepared as well as be a friendly guest! You don't need to be a master chef but it is a great idea to test recipes ahead of time if you can. Veganize a family favorite to share how your family's beloved dishes can also be delicious vegan style.
Order or buy a dish
I love cooking and baking but always like to know where the go-to spot is for delicious vegan baked goods or dishes locally. Some people are pressed for time or simply want to buy something professionally prepared to take to a feast or party. If you are going to another city to celebrate, put in the time beforehand to research where you can order a fabulous vegan pie or a grocery store where you can pick up one of the different varieties of delicious vegan holiday roasts on the market.
Bring your favorite vegan beer, wine or other beverage
If you drink and plan to share, bringing your favorite vegan beer and wine is a great move. I love spreading the word about the website Barnivore and using it to check whether various wines or beers are vegan friendly. It's a great resource to turn others on to as well!
Let your host know ahead of time if possible
Letting your host know ahead of time can allow you to gauge how prepared they might be to accommodate you. You might find that the host has numerous other vegan guests planning to be in attendance and is excited to accommodate everyone. Or you may find that your host is really not clear on what veganism is, giving you the opportunity to prepare as you see fit.
Be open and prepared for questions
Feasts, parties and other gatherings can be a pivotal moment to share important information about key moments that compelled you to go vegan but can also hold the potential for uncomfortable or even contentious questions or discussion points. Offering to have talks with people and share resources (literature, stories, documentary tips, etc) with them later if they are curious to discuss vegan issues can be a way to relay a willingness to communicate. I talk about veganism quite a lot and am still learning to balance a sense of openness to discuss vegan lifestyle with a healthy ability to set boundaries when I need to.
To make this piece more inclusive, I have included some tips for non-vegans to aid in being more receptive and prepared.
Understand that veganism is not 'just a diet'
Some non-vegans view veganism as just another diet and restrictive form of eating. Understand that while some are primarily vegans in the way they eat (and perhaps not an entire lifestyle), many are vegans in more ways than just dietary. Also, for vegans there are no "cheat" moments. Holidays are not a time for us to say, ok, I'll have that slice of meat "just this once." Understanding this might help any host not feel rebuffed when a vegan guest will not cede to urgings to eat something "just this one time."
Surprise them with a vegan centerpiece dish
One of the most touching stories I ever heard was from a longtime vegan friend of mine whose non-vegan family surprised her at Thanksgiving by forgoing a turkey completely and instead having a vegan holiday roast as a centerpiece. This is a beautiful and inspiring story of a family acting from a place of great compassion and I know for my friend this was a momentous occasion. Be inspired by such stories and even if you are not ready to have a vegan centerpiece, see how you can incorporate other vegan dishes on the menu.
Consider it a culinary adventure
It is standard to have many vegetable sides at the holidays but consider veganzing them so they can accommodate everyone. Many tasty holiday favorites- wild rice, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts and more- can be prepared with absolutely no dairy and taste absolutely fantastic. Google recipes with "vegan" added to get tips on how vegans cook up their holiday favorites. In doing all this you might also find that you already prepare many of your holiday dishes vegan style, which will be fun news to share with your guests!
Consider the little things
Something as small yet thoughtful as having non-dairy creamer for a coffee drinking vegan guest can be really appreciated. My favorite is Califa brand's Almond Creamer but there are many others to choose from. Another great small consideration would be to shift to vegan butter for your dishes. Earth Balance products can be found in most grocery stores and their buttery spreads and baking sticks are popular items for vegan baking and cooking. Any accommodation you make for your vegan guests is an effort of thoughtfulness for their comfort and ability to enjoy your feast or party even more!

Last Spring my husband, son and I stayed with my in-law's on the West coast for a week during our transition to the Northeast. My in-law's are not vegan and I was nervous about how some of the discussions might go. There were definitely some awkward moments at first but I recall coming back after one day out in the city with my son and there they were baking up a vegan pizza- for the first time! I definitely don't mean this in a narcissistic way, but I am positive that they tried that out because I was there. It was a great bonding experience and although they are indeed experimental foodies, I think this was their first time making a vegan pizza and indeed, it was delicious! So this wasn't during a holiday but is an example of a family gathering moment that could be tense or difficult food wise but turned out to be a moment of great discovery and bonding (in addition to the vegan beer tasting we had at their house together the day before!). Their actions meant a great deal to me and I let them know that.
If you are vegan or eat plant based a lot of the time, feel free to share this with friends or families you may be spending the holidays with.

Professor Sasi in India with his father and mentor Esteemed Psychic Palmist/ Spiritual Teacher Professor Padmanabha Velupillai
An individual's palm prints form a blueprint for his/her life, indicating talents, health tendencies, career possibilities, love interests, obstacles, and the spiritual potential for that soul. In general the left hand reflects the past and the general plan for one's life, and the right hand reflects the present and possible future tendencies.
This blueprint may be thought of as simply a basic guide or map, with the lines on the hand changing as a person moves forward in life and makes decisions. The role of the psychic palmist is to shed light on the blueprint, motivating the client to manifest his or her highest and brightest potential.

of "Siegfried & Roy" in Las Vegas, Nevada
Palmistry is an intricate, fascinating science which has been practiced for thousands of years in India by gifted spiritual teachers who are considered motivational catalysts and respected guides. Originally recorded on palm-leaf scrolls in the vedas, India's spiritual texts, palmistry was regarded as a tool for transformation, empowerment and insight.
Psychic Palmistry expands upon the foundations of palmistry by encouraging the practitioner to utilize his/her psychic and intuitive faculties in addition to the fundamental information about palmistry.
Psychic Palmistry may be divided into four distinct areas, namely the science, art, craft and philosophy of palmistry. Each branch may be described as follows:
• In the Science of palmistry, the palmist analyzes the lines, mounts, energies and shape of the hands and fingers;
• With the Art of palmistry, the palmist interprets and explains information to the client;
• The Craft of palmistry involves the palmist translating the information in a way that empowers and motivates the client; and
• The Philosophy of palmistry entails the palmist remaining true to a mission of uplifting and counseling a client in a positive manner
Although much of the basic information may be taught, the intuitive and psychic aspects of palmistry are indeed a gift, based upon what is believed to be many lifetimes of previous spiritual work by the palmist. Professor Sasi is a 7th-generation Psychic Palmist and Motivational Counselor from India who expands on his family's legacy in the psychic palmistry and the healing arts. paragraph here.

Customer service – at the heart of digital transformation
Digitalization is driving changes in customer behavior, while rapid technological development is creating a new business paradigm. Meeting these challenges is the key to success.
To achieve this success means shifting focus from specific channels to a holistic customer experience – one that embraces assisted customer care as well as online excellence. Companies that do so will strengthen competitiveness, increase customer loyalty, and decrease operational costs. In the public sector, this will provide better service while unlocking welfare-related resources.
Customer service – your crown jewel
A good customer service experience is seamless, with the native intelligence to route customer enquiries to the right answer or person, regardless of channel.
Your customer service employees know how to match their skills to their customer's needs – a good system will support them, being one step ahead in each contact, providing them with the relevant historical data at their fingertips:
'Who is the customer', 'What's the reason for contact', 'What previous engagement have they had with the company'? The agent should have this information readily available, regardless of context – whether previous communication has been by phone, chat, email, social media, or text.
By seamless routing, an agent's skills provide the most value – and the customer gets the best service. No underused agents – no frustrated customers.
'Interaction Analytics' lets you analyze large amounts of real-time and historical data and provide insights from these interactions. Robotic automation allows you to speed up processes where human interaction is not required, improving efficiency.
Customer loyalty. You need to earn it – every time
A true omnichannel experience means offering excellent service regardless of channel. Most contacts today start online – ideally, that's where the problem gets solved. Besides creating an intuitive and responsive website, you can exceed customers' requirements by introducing a smart FAQ allied to a chatbot.
A good chatbot can assist the customer in specific areas and even learn over time. When properly configured, a good 'bot will hand over the conversation to a human expert when required. The chatbot's conversation will be available to the agent alongside other historical data for fast problem resolution.
'Free speech' is another elegant way of serving the customer, limiting their exposure to complicated menus, instead providing a natural way of making enquiries. Where possible, the customer can find the information they require before resorting to a phone call – and if they do call, they can be offered alternate means of enquiry.
AI customer service is both streamlining the customer journey and providing new and intelligent ways to add value for business and ease customers' frustrations.
