Sean Hoyt, one of the admins of the Gemini PDA channel on Telegram, has compiled himself a binary of the Oreo release from the released sources. Like the official OTA version, this unofficial release is also for Wifi+4G Geminis only, for devices with an x25 CPU (for x27 devices see below).
"First boot takes a bit, keep in mind this is unofficial so OTA will never work on it. This build is also the same as the release build, feature and fixes wise."
This version can be only flashed using the SPFlashtool. On Windows you'll have to unzip the archive using 7zip or WinRAR, since it has been compressed using the LZMA compression. Note that this version only works on x25 devices, but it can be flashed on x27 ones as well by using the Android 7's scatter file for X27 instead of the supplied one.
Sean has also stated that he'll consider a version for WiFi-only devices and/or a version without Google's services, no promises though.
Note: use this version at your own risk! This release is unofficial, further OTA updates won't work on it. Please do not report any bugs to Planet or the build author while it is installed.
Thanks Sean for your effort!

I got my update fine yesterday OTA. I did have to try about six times because of a server error.

I got my update fine yesterday OTA. I did have to try about six times because of a server error.That's reassuring, I think, as it seems to suggest the update itself is mostly OK and was pulled for other reasons than being faulty, say, bandwidth issues. That makes me hope, we won't have to wait all that long, before its online again.
Plain unrooted Android 4G system.
On a slightly unrelated note, I got an update to Ledison (with 8.1 support) earlier today. That update was timestamped May 6, so it seems Planet Computers are doing SOMETHING, when they aren't busy not telling us what's going on ;-)

Just seen:
As many of you will know, this week's planned Android 8.1 OTA update did not go as we intended and led to some of our customers struggling to update their Gemini PDA's or other issues. For that, we are very sorry and we thank you for your patience.- http://www.facebook.com/planetcom/posts/1282184601935068
A server issue with our over the air (OTA) firmware download partners is being resolved and several hundred Gemini users are now running Android Oreo. The OTA update will be available, but for users who wish to upgrade manually, we have also made the firmware update available for download on our official support website. This link is as follows: http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/G...droid_8_Upgrade
Here you can find a step-by-step guide on how to update your Gemini PDA to Android 8.1 and some release notes on new features for Android 8.
Please also note that we have had reports that the NTT DoCoMo network in Japan is not detected by the Android 8 firmware. We are investigating as a priority and advise customers in the region using the NTT DoCoMo network to please wait to upgrade their Gemini until further information is provided.
We hope that you will enjoy the Android 8 Oreo system and thank you again for your patience and continued support.

Well, I don't think I've enjoyed the action since the last time I got hung up straddling a barbed wire fence. I've just completed two attempts at updating. The first using the PC to copy the ota.zip file, and the second, entirely on the Gemini, following every step that pertained to manual updating. Not easy., all seemed to go through the described processes, except at the final action where we were assured the message of final updating would be displayed. Instead it was the usual recovery style page prompting reboot. I did that, and it did actually reboot. Until, that is I went to Settings to find the Android version was still set at 7.1.1. Does nothing work as described? It all does take me back to my days in IT support. Seemingly about 80% of the time on installs, nothing ever went as described. On one occasion, setting up a Novell Netware Server, it took the four of us an entire weekend to get the thing to perform, and at the end, not one of us knew what had finally done the trick. One thing we did resolve, was that never, never, were we ever going to turn the thing off.

Painful update, finally tracked down the full firmware flash. Even after wasting the evening flashing back to single non rooted android with standard recovery, the OTA failed to install due to custom partition? So far really liking oreo on gemini, lots of QoL fixes. Really NOT liking the lack of root though...
Pleasant side note: wifi calling now works??

The official Android Oreo firmware update is now also available for flashing:
The online partition tool has not been updated yet as time of this writing, unfortunately. Hopefully this will be done soon.

So I followed the following guide to update:
After following the instructions to delete the existing ota.zip (which was 1.05GB) and then downloading one from the official link.
When I went to manually update, the updater shows "New version found", but the rest of the info (PatchID, PatchSize, UpdateDate) is all blank.
This was the same as when my updater appeared to have hung. I think what happened was the original OTA update finished downloading, but then popped up the screen to ask me to click "Firmware Update", but had blank info...
So this time I bit the bullet and clicked the button and the update kicked off.
I can report the same issues as suffered by others:
1. The boot screen starts half blank, but fixes it self (something to do with screen rotation maybe?)
2. I was only missing one app on my launcher. I'm using T-UI so its a bit harder for me to see whats missing, but so far I was only missing Keepass2Android which fixed itself after a reboot.
The only continuing real issue I'm having is LINE Messenger just hangs. I'm going to wait for an app update to see if that fixes it, but if not I'll reinstalling and restore as much as I can from backup.
So far I haven't really noticed anything different as I mostly use my Gemini as a "traditional PDA" rather then a full fledged phone.
That battery usage notification is a bit annoying does anyone know how to turn it off?
Soooo after using it for a while, the light theme (the right hand menu bar swapping from black to white depending what app) is doing my nut in. I can't remember if it was in the previous version, but right now it's soooooooooo annoying.
Some apps like YouTube and MX Player I can set the theme in the app itself, but in others I can't seem to change it.
From the Googles I think that there is no built in dark/light theme in Android 8. Is this the case and does anyone have any suggestions of getting around it please?

I downloaded the latest file and followed the instructions at http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/A..._Flashing_Guide. Completed successfully! After this my Gemini went into a loop: Vibrate... First Planet splash screen (Tux)... Dark... Vibrate... First Planet splash screen (Tux)... Dark (again and again). After two hours of this "loop" I gave up. I copied the 'old' files back into the Flash Tool and went through the process. After this my Gemini recovered to 7.1.1 and started fine.... Well except that the second time I forgot to uncheck 'user data' so have lost all my settings, etc.
Bottom line: back on 7.1.1 with a 'as new' Gemini...

Have you used the new scatter file, and made sure to pick firmware upgrade rather than download only? Once I did that, it worked fine and I got a bootable 8.1. WARNING: that will nuke your userdata again, obviously - but it works

Finally, I've been able to update my X25 4G Gemini to Oreo Over-The-Air.
I know Hitherwood posted in this thread on May 7, telling that he'd been able to update his Gemini OTA, but I think he's got an X27 4G unit, so I'd hereby like to share that it finally worked for at least my X25 4G unit as well. I know manual download of the update has been available for a while, but I decided to wait for the OTA update to get fixed, partly since I wasn't in any particular hurry to get Oreo and party so I could use my own Gemini to verify that the X25 4G OTA update actually got fixed.
All my previous attempts, always stalled no later than at 359.36MB and wouldn't resume. Other posts in this thread, mentions that exact number too, and MarkD posted on May 6, which is before the update was pulled for a few days, that the OTA server appeared to be missing one particular file.
When the OTA update came back on line, my downloads kept stalling at that point, so just in case Planet Computers maybe fixed something for the X27 update but not for the X25, on Saturday May 11, I sent them an e-mail, to which I got no reply (nor do I need one), but when I tried again (after removing the OTA.ZIP leftover from the previous attempt, and clearing data for the firmware updater) at about two'o clock PM on Monday May 13, the OTA download kept going until it was done. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe there WAS something wrong with the X25 update. In any case, it seems to work now. The update as such felt pretty much like any Android update; it unpacked some files, rebooted, installed and rebooted again. One of the reboots left the screen off for a bit too long for comfort, but other than that, it seemed very smooth. I haven't really used my Gemini after the update, but any issues with Oreo as such belongs in another thread anyway.
In general, the OTA download seems slower and jerkier during western Europe daytime and appears to improve considerably after midnight. Whether that depends on the update server itself or on some part of the internet between me and the server, I don't know, but if experiencing a choppy download during western European daytime, trying in the wee hours might give a smoother download experience.

Well, here's a radical shift. After a number of aborted uploads, this morning (Monday), the upload went the whole way without problem. I followed all the required actions, tapped "Install Now", to gain the install pop-up tapped to upgrade. All went well to complete the 8.1 upgrade. However the normal Planet boot sequence of rotating planets disappeared and left a dark screen. A short while later another buzz and a white ring appeared, with a progress bar. When that had finished the "Android Recovery" menu appeared. Since nothing happened, I tapped for the default "reboot" option which did, in fact re-boot the machine. BUT, into Android 7.1.1!!! Thinking that the upgrade had somehow failed I went through the whole process once more. To get exactly the same process. The system is now standing at the Android recovery menu for version 7.1.1. What the hell do I do now???? Powering off and re-starting, the machine does in fact reboot properly. But, still in Android 7.1.1

What the hell do I do now????Unless you've already tried that, use the file manager to delete the OTA.ZIP (from Home/Internal Shared Storage) file from previous attempts. Then go to settings > apps > "three dots in upper right corner" > Show system -> Find and tap "Firmware Update" in the list > tap Storage > Tap Clear Data > Confirm, and then try to download the update again.
It seems the updater creates an empty 1.05GB file (probably to make sure there's enough storage) and then overwrites that with what it downloads. Sometimes it seems the updater can erroneously believe it has downloaded the entire update, when it actually hasn't. In my case, the updater once jumped from being stalled at 359MB to "Install Now" in a heartbeat. After that, I begun tidying up after previous attempts before trying again.
If the download stalls and doesn't resume, I'd suggest trying the whole process again late at night as the download server seems to struggle a bit during western European daytime.

Thanks, Daniel W. I did as suggested. I'd already done most but not deleted the ota.zip, in previous attempts. The update went exactly as had all the others. I kept an ey on the file loading, and as far as I could tell, the file was fully loaded. The result however is the same. This time, with more inspection of progress time, I noted on the Android Recovery page that came up, finally,, a block of text at the bottom of the screen which probably explains the failure. This was as follows:-
Supported API 3
Charge_status 5 charged 1 .status 0 . capacity 100
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Update package verification took 11.5 s (result 0)
error . Partition table not match
Update.zip is not correct
Installation aborted.
I'd not noticed it before, but it probably was there. The font size is a bit difficult to make reading easy.. There we are. As I've probably pointed out before, most installs/updates seldom seem to work as they should, and there's never an explanation as to why. Hey, ho.

Through the consequent criminal justice proceedings, the charges in such cases could be dropped before they are ever filed. When this occurs, a motion for a finding of factual innocence, sometimes called an adjudication of factual innocence, can be used to clear the defendant's name with an expungement of their arrest record. Hanson, Gorian, Bradford & Hanich and our criminal defense lawyers in Temecula can assist you with expungements based on findings of factual innocence. With decades of combined legal experience and thousands of cases under our belts, you can trust in our team to guide your case to a beneficial outcome. Contact our firm at your first opportunity and we can explain further during a free case evaluation. Judicial Hearing to Clear Your Name Using a motion for a finding of factual innocence can be an intricate process if you are not fully versed in California's criminal defense laws. It begins with your charges being dropped before official filing but this is not the end of the process. You must take active steps to fully clear your name and expunge your record after dropped charges. In order to have your arrest record cleaned due to factual innocence, the following must happen: You are arrested but the charges are dropped before they are filed against you – a not guilty verdict or case dismissal will not be applicable for this process. You request a hearing for a finding of factual innocence and removal of your arrest record. Convincing evidence and arguments are provided to prove that your arrest should not have ever occurred due to your innocence. Judge approves your case and the expungement of your arrest record. It is crucial to consider this process for your case if you know you were innocent at the time of your arrest since simply having an arrest mark on your record can devastate your future. Certain jobs, financial institutions, and landlords will not agree to work with someone who has an arrest record, even if there was never a conviction. A successful expungement based on factual innocence wipes the arrest clean and protects your reputation. Get All the Legal Counsel You Need for Your Case Our Temecula expungement lawyers truly believe in giving clients the best chances possible to securing a better tomorrow through our efforts, counsel, and representation. When your name has been tarnished due to an unreasonable or unnecessary arrest, call 951.506.6654 to connect with our law firm and ask about findings of factual innocence and related procedures. You can also use an online contact form if you prefer and someone from Hanson, Gorian, Bradford & Hanich will get back to you as soon as possible.

You are here: Great North Run > How to enter the Simplyhealth Great North Run 2020 > Charities
Raising money for charity is a large part of the Great North Run and has been for many years; each year thousands of pounds are raised due to runners choosing to complete the race on behalf of their favourite charity.
Although entries through the general ballot for the Great North Run are now closed, you can still participate in the half marathon should you choose to run on behalf of a charity.
Each year there are many amazing charities who get involved – and are often repeat participants – which you can choose from in order to complete the race. There are hundreds of charities available and you can easily search via category to help you find the ideal charity for you.
However, if you would like to participate on behalf of a charity which is not listed as a current partner, then we suggest that you get in touch with them directly and ask them if you would be interested in sponsoring you. The charity will have to apply for a prospectus and will need to get in touch with the Charity Co-ordinator at the Great Run team.
If you're running the Great North Run on behalf of a charity then there are a couple of things you should consider beforehand:-
In order to be eligible to run on behalf of a charity, you may have to pay a registration fee. Although this will vary depending on the charity you are running for, the fee is usually between £40 - £55. We recommend you check the charities website for Great North Run information or contact them directly for more info.
When applying for charity sponsorship, you are informed of the charities minimum pledge or fundraising target. Again, this differs between each charity but is usually between £300 - £450. Once accepted and you're application has been processed, the charity will usually provide you with an abundance of information and ideas for fundraising.
When running for a charity you will often receive a branded vest or t-shirt in the charities colours and logo, this will help people identify you as you pass the cheering groups as well as to show your support.
The charity will also be responsible for providing you with your race tracker and zone colours as well; if you're running on behalf of a charity and have questions on this, we suggest you get in touch with them directly.
Running for charity is an exciting and rewarding experience and many go through all of the stops to make your half marathon memorable. Here is a brief list of some of the benefits you may receive from your chosen charity to help you prepare and complete the Great North Run:-
Below is a brief list of 10 different charities participating in the Great North Run 2019. An exhaustive list of charities can be found at the Great Run website.

If you are not watching Hugo Chavez's evolve "democratically" into dictator from your modern, electronic ring-side seat, start now. Keep in mind while watching events unfold, Lord Bolingbroke's famous statement: "History is philosophy teaching by example."
South of us, the "Americas" oscillate between total disaster and complete disaster. Overwhelmingly Roman Catholic for centuries and 100% tribalistic prior to Catholicism, these "Americans" find that they can rise only to the level of rearranging the deck chairs on their national Titanics. Not that that bothers them. Given the profound appearance of weakness by the United States since World War II, Central and South Americans find so-called "strong men" much more admirable, since those Nazis up and died. The Americas, as everyone notes, are in a state of left drift.
The ring-side seat, however, is the match between Hugo Chavez and human liberty, which follows Venezuela's nearly five decades of democratic history.:

" Easy to work with, friendly on time technician. Michael came out to the house and got a raccoon out of the attic. My home is in Chicks Beach area so the house is mostly made of wood, he found a few extra holes and sealed them up while he was up on the roof. Thanks for the help! "

" My realtor referred me to Mitchell Pest to perform a termite inspection for the sale of my home. The inspector Michael was extremely knowledgable and thorough. I was able to walk through the entire inspection with him and he explained what he was looking for each step of the way. Fortunately there were no termites found but he did notice evidence of mice! He was able to seal up a few holes where they were getting into my house and placed some bait traps around too. My husband and I were very pleased with the service overall. "

" I called Mitchell Pest Service on a hope they would be able to make it out that day because we found what we thought were termites under the house. Mitchell Pest Service was out within two hours of the initial call and confirmed that it wasn't termites and identified the bug and told us how to get rid of them. We now have a yearly contract with them. Mitchell Pest Service is the best one around. Always on time, professional, very courtesy and puts the customer first. I would highly recommend the company.

Electricity Generation in Canada: Public Perceptions
As part of my presentation to the Ontario Energy Association's ENERGYCONFERENCE13, I asked Canadians about their views on different sources of electricity. At the conference, I released the results for Ontarians only but I wanted to share what Canadians across the country think about different sources of electricity and how they compare across region, education level, and political support.
In this post, I report on two questions we asked: (1) overall impressions of different ways to generate electricity and (2) perceptions about how their province generates electricity.
Generally speaking, Canadians have a pretty good understanding of where their electricity comes from. On average, respondents estimated that 43% of electricity generated in Canada comes from hydroelectric compared with 20% from natural gas and 13% from nuclear.
When asked about the different sources of electricity, a large majority of Canadians have a positive impression of hydroelectric, solar, wind, and natural gas generation. Impressions were more mixed when it comes to nuclear power and only a small minority of Canadians have anything good to say about coal powered electricity generation.
Hydroelectric Power
Canadians love hydroelectric power and Canadians from across Canada agree on that. Nationally, 77% of respondents to our survey said they have a positive impression of hydroelectric power compared with only 4% who had a negative impression. When asked to rank seven sources of electricity from most to least environmentally friendly, 28% of respondents ranked hydro first or second and only 7% ranked it as 1st or 2nd most harmful to health and safety.
Hydro power is perceived to be clean, safe, but not as cheap as other sources of electricity. Canadians recognize the importance of hydroelectric power to Canada's economy and energy mix and generally have positive feelings about it. You can't go wrong with hydroelectric power.
Wind Power
Nationally, 79% of Canadians have a positive impression of wind energy compared with 8% who have a negative impression. Wind powered electricity has seen its share of controversy in Canada's largest province. While wind energy is viewed positively by almost all respondents in Atlantic and Western Canada and in Quebec, it's reputation is somewhat weaker in Ontario at 70%, nine points lower than the national average.
When asked to compare wind energy to other sources of electricity, 69% of Canadians rank wind energy as 1st or 2nd when it comes to environmentally friendliness, and only 12% ranked it in the top 1 or 2 in terms of its negative impacts on health and safety. Like hydro power, wind energy is perceived to be clean, but a large proportion of Canadians (28%) rank it as the 1st or 2nd most expensive source of electricity.
Natural Gas Powered
Natural gas is the carbon-based fuel that gets a lot of love from Canadians. Overall, two thirds of Canadians have a positive impression of natural gas compared with 7% who have a negative impression. There is little variation in opinion across the country with Albertans being somewhat more likely to have a positive impression of the fuel source than other Canadians (Alberta 79% positive vs. Canada 67%).
Natural gas is perceived to be environmentally unfriendly or unsafe as less than one in five Canadians ranked it as least or 2nd least in terms of safety or environmentally friendliness.
Nuclear Power
Unlike the three electricity sources above, nuclear power's reputation in Canada is far less positive. Only 25% of Canadians have a positive impression of nuclear power while 48% have a negative impression. Outside of Ontario (where it is most popular at 41%), nuclear has a weak impression with less than one in five Canadians living in BC, Alberta, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada saying they have a positive impression of nuclear.
Compared with other electricity sources, nuclear power is ranked as least or 2nd least environmentally friendly by 63% of Canadians and 69% rank it as most or 2nd most harmful to human health and safety. Along with views that its not clean or safe, 50% of Canadians believe that nuclear is either the most or 2nd most expensive way to generate electricity.
Coal Powered
Coal is viewed most negatively by Canadians. Only 12% of Canadians have a positive impression of coal powered electricity generation while 61% have a negative impression.
Over seven in ten Canadians (72%) rank coal as either least or 2nd least environmentally friendly and two thirds rank its as most or 2nd most harmful to human health and safety. It is also considered most or 2nd most expensive among 21% of Canadians. There is no region in the country that has a positive impression of coal powered electricity generation.
Perceptions about Canada's Electricity Mix
In an effort to understand what Canadians know about Canada's electricity mix, we asked respondents to estimate what percentage of their province's electricity is generated from seven possible sources of electricity. Respondents were free to enter any number ranging from 0 to 100 for each source with a total that must add up to 100.
On average, Canadians estimated that 43% of their provinces energy was generated from hydro, 20-points lower than the actual percentage as reported by the Canadian Electricity Association. Natural gas was second at 20% followed by nuclear power at 13%. Canadians have a pretty good understanding of where their electricity comes from – except when it comes to renewable energy.
Across the country, respondents overestimated the importance of renewable sources of electricity such as wind, solar, and biomass, and underestimated the importance of another renewable source hydro power.
This is especially true in Ontario where all the discussion about the province's Green Energy Act has likely caused perceptions about Ontario's energy mix to seem more "renewable" and "green" than it really is.
The survey was conducted online with 1,600 respondents in English and French using an internet survey programmed and collected by Abacus Data. A random sample of panelists was invited to participate in the survey from a representative panel of Canadians. The survey was completed from Aug 30 to Sept 4, 2013.
Since the online survey was not a random, probability based sample, a margin of error could not be calculated. The Marketing Research and Intelligence Association prohibits statements about margins of sampling error or population estimates with regard to most online panels.
The margin of error for a probability-based random sample of 1,600 respondents using a probability sample is +/- 2.5%, 19 times out of 20.
The data was weighted according to census data to ensure that the sample matched Canada's population according to age, gender, education level, and region.
These questions were posed as part of the Abacus Data monthly Omnibus survey.

RIP Moebius
Jean Giraud yesterday, and didn't leap to post anything here because, in addition to being preoccupied with an essay, I didn't recognize the name (blush). Call him Moebius, though, and you've named one of the most distinctive artists of the comic books of my youth. ...I mean, I was always a bit of a Richard Corben fan, to tell the truth, because he drew lots of lush nude females, and I was 12 at the time of my greatest enthusiasm for Heavy Metal, but there's no question as to whom the more evolved style belonged, and if I were going to revisit backissues (something I'll probably get to between ages 63 and 70, at this rate), it would be Moebius strips I would look at first. There are lots of sites devoted to him - some of his drawings for the unmade Jodorwsky Dune can be glimpsed here. RIP, Moebius.

Successful small companies can quickly fail if they run out of cash. Likewise, unprofitable unprof small businesses can be survived for a long time if they have a decent money balance. In other words, cash is the life blood of American small businesses.
Small Business Loans in Acampo, California
Naturally, when times are tough, inability to get capital to pay everyday business expenses often becomes a source of concern, stress and anxiety and diversion for small business owners.
In these cases, many small business owners think about seeking short-term financing.
Small Business Loans in Acampo, California
Unfortunately, the majority of big city and small town standard lenders have rigid and rigorous criteria that their customers should satisfy.
Because of this, there is 4 specific functions that are demanded by those looking for organisation funding.
Easy credit approval:
Businesses have a different credit ranking from the business owner. Even if the business owner has a high credit score, the business may not have a recognized credit history (especially if recently developed). Therefore, potential loan providers need to offer services with that take the business owner's personal credit into consideration and that accepts applicants with less than ideal credit.
Rapid Financing Time:
Normally, when an organisation is seeking out a loan, they have operating costs that they have to have the ability to pay within the next 7-14 days (such as payroll and suppliers). As such, loans that take weeks to be approved and finances simply aren't ideal to the majority of companies needs
No Red Tape:
Many standard lending institutions requires months of bank declarations and years of tax returns to be able to process a loan application. While this might not be a big deal to a well-established business, it's not extremely valuable for a brand-new service that has actually been in business for 6 months to a year
Small Business Friendly:
Usually, traditional lenders only service businesses doing 20k or more in month-to-month earnings. This disqualifies smaller sized organisations doing 10k-15k in monthly profits.
Because of the strict aforementioned credentials criteria enforced by conventional loan providers, a growing number of business owners are relying on the myriad of online financing options now readily available to small business owners in Acampo, California
GoTorro Small Business Loans supplies fast financing in as little as 48 hours, of quantities varying from $10,000 – $500,000 to debtors that meet the following standard qualification criteria:
500+ FICO Score
6+ Months in Business
10k+ Monthly Revenue
No collateral, No bank declarations, No Financials, No Tax Returns, and no credit references are needed.

Cezar is the name of the internationally successful Dj and producer as well as the co-founder of the label, Understand.ro. He was raised in Bucharest, Romania, during a time when the city was undertaking changes due to the shift from Communism to Western Capitalism, one of the changes being the rise of popularity in Western and electronic music.
The Romanian Dj did not at first start his career in the music industry, instead after graduating from university he began working in the television media as a TV producer, but Cezar always had a passion for music, driven by the search for freedom and self-growth. During the week he worked in television but during the weekend he was a successful part time DJ playing in clubs and parties around Bucharest. He eventually took a plunge into the music industry when he made the final decision to dedicate his career to DJing.
In 2005 he was asked to be a resident for Studio Martin which allowed him a steady line up of gigs and after that, he moved on to playing various party gigs, some of which where at the Sunrise parties. Even though Cezar had previous experience in the electronic music industry, he wanted to further his knowledge in music production and enrolled for one year in 2011 at SAE - Society of Automotive Engineers.
Din Gând În Când EP was the Dj's first EP release, an album, which he says in an interview, he would have preferred not to release because he believed it did not live up to the best of his abilities … but it is a landmark in his career which shows his amazing progression of music production over the years.
Cezar has become a beloved Dj and producer with fans from around the globe. Make sure to keep up to date with the artist's new and upcoming releases and performances.

Carnevali continues its journey in presenting very valid well build products which are made for people who live and navigate the sea. The Carnevali 142 is indeed a huge challenge to all builders, from finishing to ride and quality construction and is a yacht made to be enjoyed and lived. Designed by Ceccarelli Yacht Design, who is a long collaborator of this family run company, this model will sit between the 130 and 160 replacing the moderately sold 145, and Carnevali hope to repeat the success of the 42 series, delivered in over fifty units in a period of ten years plus production. The 142 is most of all good looking outside, but Ceccarelli made well of his talents to offer a comfortable three double cabins interior with owners room to fore and two guest cabins located to midships. A crew cabin is also available to aft. The main deck is the living area of the 142 offering here a well laid spacious galley, saloon, and helm station located to port side. Hull one was fitted with Zebrano wood but Carnevali have always shown customization in its model so in the feature I would not be surprised to see a different interior woods used, and also a different plan inside. Carnevali flybridge are also known for being spacious and the 142 is no exception showing space in an aft C-shaped settee, and sun pad to the forward part by the helm located to port side. Power is from twin Cat 575hp which give a top speed of 33 knots, and 27 of cruise.

God's Good Design in Disability
I was accompanied by some pretty powerful proclaimers of God's word (John Piper, Dr. Mark Talbot and Nancy Guthrie). But the most powerful and encouraging part of the conference took place as Krista Horning walked onto the stage and delivered this ten-minute God-glorifying, Jesus magnifying, Bible saturated, message.
Thank you Krista for displaying "God's Good Design in Disability" for the whole world to see.
And thank you Jesus for the faithfulness of your Word, powerfully proclaimed in our broken vessels!

Thanks for sharing, Greg. I posted this on Facebook with the following comment:ReplyDelete
It is worth the ten minutes to listen to and watch this powerful video. It is saturated with truth form God's Word, perhaps many a passage that some of us have memorized (or attempted to), because they are passages that offer us hope in the midst of struggle and affliction. The speaker here has not only memorized them, but obviously hidden them in her heart. She speaks with conviction. If these words are true for her, are they not also true for us, whose trials and afflictions are pathetically paltry by comparison?

Last December, President Trump signed into law a Republican tax bill that included a provision that was intended to undermine one of the central features of the Affordable Care Act, the individual mandate. Because the individual mandate was designed to offset the costs of the sicker individuals who enroll by encouraging healthier individuals to participate in the market (or pay a tax penalty if they decline to buy insurance), experts predicted that loss of the ACA mandate's tax penalty would lead to much higher premiums and fewer people being covered.
Concerns over the destabilization of the local insurance market ran rampant. However, before the new provision takes effect next year, the District of Columbia and some states are attempting to create their own versions of the mandate.
District of Columbia Mandate
Within a matter of weeks after the tax bill was passed, Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser requested a local impact assessment. The resultant report, the product of 8 public meetings, offered unanimous support for crafting local health insurance requirements that would provide a substitute for the ACA's individual mandate. Ratification by the Executive Board of the District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority followed.
By March 21, 2018, at the request of Mayor Bowser, an amendment was incorporated into the legislation for the District of Columbia's fiscal-year 2019 budget. Set to take effect on January 1, 2019, the District of Columbia's health insurance mandate is intended to substitute for its sunsetting federal counterpart.
Congressional Counterstrikes
None of these developments were lost on the Republican-led US Congress, and attempts to preclude the reestablishment of District-level health insurance requirements soon followed. On July 18, 2018, Rep Gary J. Palmer (R, Alabama) introduced an amendment (to an appropriations bill, HR 6147) designed to override the District of Columbia's mandate. Federally appropriated funds were not to be used to carry out the District of Columbia's mandate, Palmer said, He argued that the mandate forces "residents to buy insurance coverage they neither want nor need," and noted that the plans offered through the District's health insurance marketplace all cover elective abortion. In response, Rep Eleanor H. Norton (D, DC) warned that approval of the amendment would "deny the 700 000 Federal taxpaying Americans who live in the District of Columbia access to quality, affordable health insurance coverage."
Another amendment, sponsored by Rep Keith J. Rothfus (R, Pennsylvania), sought to preclude the seizure of property as means of enforcing the District of Columbia individual mandate. Rising in opposition, Rep Norton suggested that the amendment was merely designed to "score points" with opponents of the ACA. "So the ACA remains popular throughout the United States," she said. "They just can't bear that."
Both amendments passed the House along party lines and the bill was referred to the Senate for its consideration.
In the US Senate, Sen Ted Cruz (R, Texas) sponsored an amendment nearly identical to its House counterpart, the amendment introduced by Rep Palmer. As written, the Cruz-sponsored amendment was "to prohibit the use of funds to carry out the District of Columbia's health insurance individual mandate," which Sen Cruz described as "one of the cruelest and most unfair aspects of ObamaCare." In a separate statement, Cruz said that "we need to finish the job on Obamacare, not prop it up with a broken system."
Speaking in opposition, Sen Patrick J. Leahy (D, Vermont), vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, characterized the Cruz amendment as a "partisan poison pill" rider, noting that "the District of Columbia and States like Vermont passed their own mandates to keep premiums down. Just like Vermont, DC should have the authority to make its own laws." A motion to table the amendment passed by a 54-44 roll call vote.
By every indication, the House and Senate versions of the appropriations bill are heading toward resolution by a House-Senate conference committee. It is there that the ultimate fate of the Palmer and Rothfus amendments will be determined as the appropriations bill is finalized. A reappearance of the Cruz amendment is deemed unlikely, given that its terms are faithfully represented in its counterpart in the House.
Should the Senate prevail in conference, it is possible that the District of Columbia, like New Jersey, Vermont, and Massachusetts, will have its own individual mandate. The alternative, however, would force the District to cope with the resultant health care insurance turmoil, as the ACA, still the law of the land, is progressively undermined by executive authority.

Super Squid…
Roll over, Jules Verne. Japanese scientists have just managed to capture your mythic giant squid on film, using a remote camera to audition a 26-footer (a relative baby, really) 3,000 feet down (see the story here). Here's an excerpt:
"We believe this is the first time a grown giant squid has been captured on camera in its natural habitat," said Kyoichi Mori, a marine researcher who co-authored a piece in Wednesday's issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.
The camera was operated by remote control during research at the end of October 2004, Mori told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Mori said the giant squid, purplish red like its smaller brethren, attacked its quarry aggressively, calling into question the image of the animal as lethargic and slow moving.
"Contrary to belief that the giant squid is relatively inactive, the squid we captured on film actively used its enormous tentacles to go after prey," Mori said.

Phillip Press: Tips on Buying Your Engagement Ring and Wedding BandsSunday, February 5th, 2012
Many couples are overwhelmed by the choices of engagement and wedding rings. With a little effort, you can become a knowledgeable buyer, and more confident in choosing the right rings for you. Educate yourself not only about diamonds, but also about metals and jewelry workmanship. From personally guiding thousands of couples in choosing or custom-designing their rings, I learned to focus individuals on what's most important: 1) the quality of the materials used; 2) the craftsmanship; and 3) designs that match tastes, lifestyles and budgets.
Superior quality is important in both the gemstones as well as the precious metal chosen. When choosing a precious metal, know that platinum is the highest standard. PLAT 950, meaning that 95% of the alloy is platinum, is a higher grade than PLAT 900. Platinum is hypoallergenic and its natural white color makes diamonds look incredibly white. Platinum is 60 percent denser than 14k gold and more substantial. White gold is never truly white and must be plated to become similar in color to platinum. However, this plating wears-off over time, requiring additional upkeep and expense. We strongly recommend 950 PLAT for anyone seeking heirloom-quality bridal rings.
When it comes to diamonds, we recommend gemstones that are ideally cut, certified by a recognized diamond-grading organization, and of at least I color and SI-2 quality, or better if your budget permits. The quality of any smaller diamonds in your ring is equally important. If you want diamonds that are sustainably mined or recycled from an estate collection, ask for it.
Fine craftsmanship in your bridal rings is also essential. You will wear them every day so they must be well made and durable, as well as stylish. There are several questions about craftsmanship to explore:
1) Is the ring wholly made by hand, partially handcrafted or caste and mass produced?
2) Where are the rings made and what is the skill and experience of the artisans creating the ring?
3) Does the designer have its own workshop? Are they a jeweler themselves and are they directly involved in the process of making the ring?
4) Is the manufacturer a master at working in platinum, which requires additional talents and different tools than goldsmithing?
5) What is the reputation of the manufacturer for quality, consistency and originality?
Review online information and ask many questions. Understand the level of craftsmanship and assess value based on the quality of the materials, workmanship, and price, not just a designer brand name.
Finally, the style of the rings you choose should suit your everyday lives and exude your personal signature. Narrow down your ring choices with the following questions:
1) Do you love modern or vintage, or a combination of the two?
2) Do you prefer glamorous and unique or simple and traditional?
3) Describe your dream ring.
4) What price range is most comfortable for your budget?
5) What diamond shape is your favorite?
With a little homework, you will be poised and ready to choose the perfect rings that you will love today and for many years to come.

The launch of SDL Trados Studio 2014 this month brings with it the news that SDL Trados 2007 Suite will no longer be supported from the end of this year. I don't think this will come as a surprise to anyone as SDL had already ceased to support SDL Trados 2007 since the end of 2012, and with the releases of the 2009, 2011 and now 2014 versions of SDL Trados Studio it's inevitable that the 2007 Suite version will follow suit.
Month: September 2013
The SDLXLIFF Toolkit
The release of Studio 2014 will bring a number of new OpenExchange applications to the App Store. One of these is already becoming well known based on the name alone… the SDLXLIFF Toolkit! The name suggests this is a tool for working with an SDLXLIFF and being able to take it to pieces and interact with all of it's components… and this is probably a good explanation of what it actually does.
Pimp my Studio 2014…
A strange title I know, but I thought I could indulge two of my favourite pastimes at the same time… first the SDL OpenExchange, and the second customising stuff.
I may have mentioned the SDL OpenExchange from time to time in my articles… I do like the OpenExchange… because this is a unique feature of the SDL Language Technologies Platform that is probably underestimated by many users who think it's only a few little apps that you can download to perform the odd useful function here and there.
Advanced Renamer… and QuickMerge
Today I decided to share a Freeware Application I came across whilst trying to find a neat resolution to a problem posed by a Translator using Studio. I know many of you don't like to use Freeware so I'm not saying anything about this tool other than I think it's great, and if you're happy to install it then I'm pleased to have passed on awareness of this tool to you. I am not endorsing it in any way other than that! If you have a policy not to install Freeware tools and still like the idea then I'm sure there are plenty of paid for applications that do a similar job. This tool is called Advanced Renamer and is developed, and supported, by Kim Jenson.
The problem I wanted to solve is that the user receives several hundred files that make up a technical manual. These files are not in alphabetical order, and they are not numbered, but they do come with a PDF that explains what the order is. So the task for the translator, in order to tackle the manual in the most sensible way, is being able to merge the files together for translation in the appropriate order.

Everyday Offerings
Every day I walk by our little corporate galley kitchen, and oftentimes my co-workers have left some communal offering. On Fridays there might be donuts or bagels. The middle of the week might bring homemade cookies. After any holiday there is sure to be leftover candy. There is never a sign, but everyone knows that anything left on the red counter is an offering to all.
An altar to we mortal gods.
Today I walked by and it was a handful of fresh strawberries. Not on a plate or a napkin. Just scattered on the counter, like a lazy gift, and I laughed.
Life is a red countertop. We are all gods, with altars full of offerings, if only we would see.
15 comments:
Why are all the gods so angry today? Let me know if any beer or vodka shows up on the red countertop, please.ReplyDelete
I think that's a solid suggestion, and I think the red countertop is going to see booze on Friday.ReplyDelete

Beautiful. I've got to get a red counter-top. Mine is brown.ReplyDelete
We have a community chocolate run. Today was my turn and it was good.ReplyDelete

ewww. Hope the red countertop saw windex first.ReplyDelete
Yes, Windex. Please! I've recently fallen in love with Lysol Wipes (because I have two boys who have bad aim) but I have to hide them from the man because he wants everything to be "green". Green is never as good as Windex or Lysol Wipes. Never!ReplyDelete

*sigh* (OM:)ReplyDelete
there are days I pray for offerings (usually because I'm running late)ReplyDelete
yesterday it was handpicked blackberries
What a great idea! We don't have a designated spot but since I work for a catering company there are always "mistakes" that the kitchen puts out for all takers! It's no wonder my butt is so big...heh!ReplyDelete
This made me laugh out loud.ReplyDelete
Once I deliberately left three pennies in the ladies restroom just to see... they were gone within the hour, and in my head I was amused by the thought of someone finding pennies and pocketing them. I didnt want the dirty things.
I know. For shame ;)
What about the crumbs ? .. all we get is crumbs.ReplyDelete
If, such a big if-sometimes.ReplyDelete
Is this the same as
not seeing the forest for the trees?
I don't understand forest and tree analogies. I live in the city.ReplyDelete
Red countertops and cookies, that I get.
I know you live in the city, perhaps the time is right to get back to nature, graveyards do not count, go camping.ReplyDelete
Fun, fun and more fun.;)

Definitely imagine that which you stated. Your favourite reason appeared to be at the net the simplestReplyDelete
thing to take note of. I say to you, I certainly get irked even as people think about concerns that they just don't
realize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out the entire thing with no need

Special Projects
Working directly with developers like Property Solutions on projects like Queen Street has given us the opportunity to realise our vision for 3D architectural visualisation and live action, at a fraction of the price of other studios. We're pretty excited about what we're bringing to the table.
One of our competitive advantages in the clutered render space is our experience in live action combined with our ability to provide fully animated 3D renders PLUS the static plates, as part of the price. These animated images are then mixed with exisiting lifestyle footage and/or purpose shot live action, delivering Clients an online video for editing and music costs alone.
Having lensed south east Queensland from a perspective of tourism and property for more than a decade, very few companies come with such a vast stock footage library. As film-makers, we bring an eye for motion pictures and story-telling to the table. This is focused in the early stages of pre-production.
Renders are developed around live action. Thought is given to a storyline not just a jumbled collection of talent and lifestyle, plus, we don't ship our 3D work offshore, we're local. We know the culture, speak the language, live the landscape and we're in the same time zone.
Talk to us about how we can help get your next project out of the ground.
Our Special Projects Services Include
- Creating Collateral Like Brochures and Films
- Interpreting the Brief, Understanding Your Needs
- Responding With a Creative to fit the Brief

Trevor and his little brother give their mom hugs and talk about all the fun they had being construction workers.
Trevor wished to be a construction worker like his dad.
Four-year-old Trevor has been battling medullablastoma for the last two years. His days have been filled with doctor's appointments and trips to the hospital for treatment and tests.
However, Trevor doesn't let this get in the way of doing what he loves most: playing 'construction' with his little brother Riley. Pretending to work on a construction site – just like his dad does – is a game that never gets old.
It was no surprise to his family when Trevor wished to be a construction worker for the day so he could play with the big trucks and equipment!
Trevor's wish took place on World Wish Day, the annual global celebration of the wish that inspired the founding of Make-A-Wish. In 1980, seven-year-old Chris Greicius was battling leukemia when friends and family learned it was his dream to be a police officer. The community sprang into action, giving Chris an unforgettable experience. He received his very own uniform and was made the first and only honorary patrolman in Arizona state history.
Since then, hundreds of thousands of wishes have been granted to children battling life-threatening medical conditions all over the world. Trevor's wish exemplifies the true meaning of World Wish Day – a community coming together to bring hope, strength and joy to children and their families at a time when it is truly needed.
Local construction companies came together to give Trevor and his family an experience they'll never forget – a day where they were able to get away from the stress of doctor's appointments, tests and hospital visits, and focus on the joy of being a family.
For Trevor and his brother, the day was a dream come true. They received Kokosing Construction hats and reflective vests made just for them. Kicking off the construction adventure, they made their very own toolbox sets, which were immediately filled with all kinds of fun 'tools.'
Fully equipped and dressed for the part, Trevor and Riley visited construction sites around town, where they rode on the equipment and tested some of the controls with the help of their fellow construction workers. Even their dad joined in on the fun, showing them around the equipment he works with on a daily basis. At Ruscilli Construction, the boys were all smiles through their specially-sized safety goggles as they were 'put to work' laying brick and mortar.
Trevor's wish to be a construction worker for the day was everything he hoped it would be and more. It provided him the opportunity to do something special and helped his family 'build' memories they'll never forget.

Samsung has revealed its latest wearable tech effort intended for third-party developers.
Simband is a prototype device capable of reading an assortment of body vitals, including temperature, heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
The South Korean firm will not release a product of its own but will make the tech behind it available to manufacturers.
"We want to bring in talent from the outside," Samsung Electronics' Device Solutions president and chief strategy officer Young Sohn said at an event in San Francisco yesterday (May 28).
The concept features Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a number of sensors to measure the wearer's metrics.
Samsung also spoke about its new cloud-based health data storage platform SAMI (Samsung Architecture Multimodal Interactions), which can be used to safely store the results from Simband, Galaxy wearables and other devices.

General News of Friday, 23 March 2018
Source: dailyheritage.com.gh
The youth wing of the Volta Regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has dared President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to demonstrate how genuine its quest to split the region is and how it could be successful.
In a press statement signed by its regional youth organiser, Egypt Kobla Kudoto and copied to the DAILY HERITAGE in Ho, the wing condemned the back-stabbing attitude of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), adding that their posture was a clear manifestation of the government's double standard.
The youth claimed that the decision to carve Oti Region out of the Volta Region without providing a definite date makes the action of the government makes the government's acclaimed commitment to the decentralization process suspicious.
It stated further that the decision of President Akufo-Addo to ignore the Volta Region in the creation of new assemblies was a sad day for the people of the region, especially the youth, who had great expectations when the NPP administration gave the signal of its intention to create new assemblies.
"It would be recalled that the government recently created additional 38 new Municipal, Metropolitan and District Assemblies bringing the number to 254 from the previous 216 but Volta was left out. At the time all other regions were in jubilant mood following the birth of the new assemblies, the story in the Volta Region was one of wailing, crying and gnashing of teeth.
The statement added that the deliberate decision by the government not to give even a single new assembly to Volta Region was an unfortunate development that could not be glossed over.
Deputy Regional Minister hit back
But the Deputy Volta Regional Minister, Maxwell Kofi Blagodzie, however hit back at the NDC youth wing, saying "they would be in a deceitful era for long" and urged young men who find themselves in politics to do their best to refrain from misleading their followers.
"Government is not imposing the creation of Oti Region in the Northern part of Volta on the people. It was a legitimate request that has been long-standing in the eras of successive governments, including the two NDC administrations."
Mr Blagodzie saw those youths, chiefs and agitators from the south against the process as brothers and sister and expected them to identify with the process rather than sabotaging it to satisfy their interest.
On the suggestion of naming the yet-to-be-created region as Northen Volta, the Deputy Volta Regional Minister said it could only be welcomed if everything points to genuine intentions such as all the stakeholders joining the government in its quest for the new region, which is meant for accelerated development.
He urged the people not to see the government's intention as a partisan move but wholeheartedly embrace it and see it as a development agenda.
