Automatic shutdown for no reason
Hello everyone,
Before stating my problem i want to thank everyone who participates in finding a solution, your help is greatly appreciated .
Well here's the problem, I have my HTC sensation for little over a month now, and up until four days ago there were never any problems whatsoever aside from normal use issues. But since then I have had several occasions upon which the phone just shut down for no reason. Four days ago it was the first time, and from then on once a day. But yesterday it shut itself down for THREE times within four hours.
This is becoming quite the nuisance since i can't recall having installed anything that could cause this nor have i dropped the phone and I don't know what the problem could possibly be, I've thought it might be a battery issue or something?
Maybe this helps as well, but the shutdowns appeared to be during the same time of day, namely from 16:00 to 21:00, never before or after this period (but maybe this will change in the future).
Well, these are the facts, i hope someone can help.
Kind regards,

Indeed i recognise this problem. I was firstly suspecting serveral app's i downloaded before the first random shutdown (the shutdown occurs when my phone is lying on my desk doing nothing but the background stuff it always does.)
I deinstalled all the suspected apps but with no avail.
At the moment there is an update pending that im going to download to see if this helps.
It could be a background problem, so one way to test this is to shutdown all synchronisation settings for 1 or 2 days and only use the phone for calling and texting.
If no shutdown occurs its an application fault.
If the shutdown does happen, it has to be a hardware or Android systeem problem, updating could help, otherwise this must be reported to HTC to see if they can fix the problem.
another option is to make a full backup of all your data and place back the factory defaults and wait 2 weeks before you start installing apps to see what happens (time dependent fault is also possible).

I have now deleted all custom applications (no 3rd party app was downloaded) and have the following left:
HTC Sync
Music shop (From my provider, android is also provider branded)
Shop (provider)
updates (provider)
All these applications should be able to work on the phone without problems.
I'll let you know what happens!
Some deleted applications:
3G watchdog
Free chess
Bunny shooter
Angry Birds
I will leave the phone off the cable so i can later test if it happens when its on a cable.

I can see this thread is pretty old, but hopefully some of you are still monitoring this to see my response.
I had this sudden shutdown problem for months. I got my Sensation in June 2011 shortly after its SIM Free launch, and the sudden turn off started happening in October. I switched to charging from the mains rather than the USB Socket of my computer which significantly reduced the number of turn offs I experienced but they still happened with sufficient frequency to be a big problem.
The full story is here:
Paul's Blog - Technology, Practical reviews and other Ramblings: My HTC Sensation Nightmare
I had noticed the handset had trouble keeping track of how much battery it had left - for some reason the process monitoring the battery would just stop causing gaps in the battery usage. The screen grab here is typical of the battery usage having a gap which was when a random shut off happened. Also the battery charge remaining varied wildly.The blog post contains some typical screen grabs of the battery level.
I have found a solution. I had a program installed called TasKiller. I bought it not long after I got my HTC Hero and wanted to shut off apps that had started but I wasn't using. This was back in the Android 1.5 days before Android had its own methods for killing off programs. I installed it on my Sensation and used it semi-regularly with a good Ignore list to stop it killing system tasks and things I wanted to run all the time like the G Mail client. Even when I didn't start it I still had sudden shut off problems so for a long time I didn't consider it the cause. Then I decided to definitely eliminate it as a suspect. I cleared the program cache and settings, then removed it complete and rebooted. That was four weeks ago and I've not had a single sudden shut off in that time, and half that time I've been charging only from the USB socket of my computer which would definitely have caused a problem. Clearly it was starting even when I wasn't starting it.
If you have TasKiller on your phone try removing it and it may fix the problem for you as it did for me.
Hope this is helpful

Hi All,
Recently my HTC Sensation has been randomly shutting off suddenly. When I turn it back on, the battery meter (which was 90-100%) is now in the red. I restart the phone, and the battery meter then shows about 50% - it's freaking me out. I've had it for about a year.
I've let the phone run out of juice and then charged it fully but it always does the same thing. I will be in the middle of something and it will just turn off suddenly, with the battery meter then indicating 4-6% charge, and restarting results in random battery meter %.
I've tried Safe Mode, Factory Reset (which obviously means no 3rd party apps). The phone is not rooted. I have never tampered with it. The phone is not overheating. It has no viruses. My SD card and phone memory are not full.
The ONLY way I can get it to stay on lately is with AC power (plugged in with charge cable to either Mains or a computer).
Could it just be my battery has used all it's charges and lost it's capacity? I have ordered a replacement battery as my next step, but can anyone offer any advice please?

Hi Jai,
Sorry to hear you've had this problem. You're in good company as it looks like plenty of others have also.
Firstly check out my blog posting for the full story on all the things I've tried - see the post below. It also includes battery usage screen shots which you will likely feel are familiar to you (gaps with the battery level going all over the place). I have more details to add to the blog post but I've not got around to that yet, unfortunately.
Secondly - if you have an app called TasKiller installed remove it immediately. Go into Apps, clear all app data then uninstall the app completely. I found this resolved the worst of my problems. It seems that TasKiller kills off system processes that monitor battery usage which, for me, caused many of the turn offs.
Thirdly there may be a mechanical problem with your handset. I started getting turn off problems very frequently about a month ago shortly after the OTA update in early July to 3.33.401.6 from 3.32.401.5 (the original ICS 4.0.3 update). I slipped a business card, cut in half, between the battery and the unibody back. This immediately resolved the terrible repeated turn offs I was getting suggesting there was a mechanical problem with the case such that it would not keep the battery in place. The battery was moving enough to lose contact and turn off the phone.
I'd never experienced a turn off while it was charging. I did think this was because if the battery monitoring system process was being terminated by TasKiller this would have no bearing because the phone could get enough power from the USB socket. With hindsight, depending on how long the mechanical problem of the loose battery has been there, the micro USB plug would be holding the innards together to the unibody back which may have stopped the battery from disconnecting (and even if it did the USB socket would be delivering enough power that a momentary interruption of the battery had no effect).
If those steps don't work I'm out of ideas, as those have worked for me, so you're at the mercy of HTC Support I'm very sad to say (unless someone else has a solution).
Good luck - and let us know how you get on. Bear in mind that these are suggestions only - attempt them at your own risk. They worked for me but YMMV!
PS - I should say that I'd tried a new battery (provided for free by HTC after I made a fuss) and that didn't make any difference. My phone does heat up (very hot on the car dashboard on a sunny day), my SD card is nearly full with music, the phone memory has space; but it has turned itself off regardless of those things. If you have used your handset intensively since purchase, to the point you have worn it out, then a replacement battery may help, but it didn't help me.

I did this quick little study of grapes as a demo for my pastel students. Grapes are one of the most complex subjects to draw or paint. If you think of them as masses, rather than individually you will get much better results.
Start by massing in the entire bunch of grapes, don't draw individual globes, block in the shadows. From there, begin carving out those grapes which are the most prominent, these you can begin to add some details to. Remember that not every grape needs to be done in fine detail, keep the ones in the shadows and the ones at the bottom of the bunch subdued and just suggested.
Use a lot of color variation, grapes are translucent and have many colors in their skins: red grapes have blues, yellow ochres, greens and purples in them. The highlights should be handled in a way that includes both warms and cools and some that are prominent vs. others that are not as vibrant.
This is a good exercise in observation, drawing complex subjects helps to train your eye in reducing things down to basic shapes, as well as to better see a wide range of values and unexpected colors.

Hard work and the easy way out has always been the only thing that has had a growing and the longest lasting feud existing in the world. There have been many instances that indicate that hard work always pays off and that the easy way out is cheating and should not be encouraged or made into something that should be practiced. But there is a slight niche that needs to be understood in the modern era. If there is a task that you have to do and the life of your family and everyone you love depends on it. While performing that said task you are given the option to do the task the hard way or the easy way. What would you choose? Anyone who has some sanity left in them would choose the easy way and proceed with the task for a sure victory and thus saving your family and everyone you love. No matter how extreme your ideals maybe, in that situation everyone becomes selfish and lets their emotions guide them to save their family. It is a simple matter of convenience and making things easy when they are available or given to you. There is a difference between using the easy way out and finding the easy way out when there isn't one. That is the same idea in terms of seo consulting. A service like the Orlando SEO consultant is available to you to utilize and make gains from instead of finding your own team of analysts that may not deliver you with results, it is a better and a matter of convenience to take the help of a service that is available to you and by using it, you are no more compromising your ideals than using paper and plastic to preach about the environment's health.
A Convenient Way Out
Sometimes this aspect of convenience is seen as a taboo in the society of companies in claiming that something gained by an external agency like the Orlando SEO consultant is the easy way out and there is no hard work behind it and it is cheating and so on. When resources are available is it wrong to use them? If electricity was not available to us, would we have used it or found it. Since it was there we used it. If it was better to manually do everything rather than depend on machines, if hard work is always the fair way?
The crux of this ideal is that if there is something that is available to you for use, and that will make your effort reduce, it is natural and inevitable to use it.

If dental decay has gone too deep it causes the dental pulp (which consists of nerves and blood vessels) to become inflamed. When this occurs you may experience symptoms of toothache or a tooth abscess may develop. In this case, it's likely that a Root Canal Treatment is needed to save the diseased tooth.
The dentist will start RCT after a thorough check of the tooth and surrounding tissue. To control the pain and inflammation, the dentist will extract the pulp, dress the the canals with medication and then seal with temporary filling. A week is usually needed toallow the medication to work in the canals.
On your next visit, the dentist will further clean and shape the affected roots with dental files. Again the tooth is then temporary filled with medication dressed in canals. This treatment may continue for more than one visit until the root canals are infection free.
Once the root canals are cleaned and infection free, it's ready to proceed with the root canal filling down to the tip with permanent filling. If the size of the restoration is large, a crown may be suggested to protect the filling and tooth structure in the near future.

From VanWyck
About Video Tour Dates Connect
With her smokey voice, strong lyrics and sober alt-folk craft Amsterdam singer-songwriter VanWyck has drawn comparisons with Leonard Cohen, Natalie Merchant and Laura Marling. She released her debut EP to international acclaim in 2015 and subsequently released a handful of tracks that garnered airplay on radio stations all over the world. Her debut album 'An Average Woman' was released on her own Maiden Name Records in 2018 and hailed by the Dutch music press as one of the best releases by a native artist in years.
VanWyck's songs are intimate and reflective but often convey a political message as well. The title track being a case in point: a slow anthem responding to the way society celebrates succes as something unique and individual, eroding our sense of community. 'Red River Girl' and 'Europa Escapes' explore the ways in which violence against women has played a part in our histories and how that carries repercussions into our present. With this album VanWyck has reached across the borders of personal experience into deeply existential themes: the struggle for true freedom, the longing for love and completion and the sobering reality of everyday life.
VanWyck is now touring in Europe and working on her second album which is planned for a release in November 2019.

Hi, I have couple of question and/or bug messages: * Is it correct that TIDY adds new STYLE element whenever it finds incorrect tags (with -c set)? I mean, that when I tidyfy HTM document and later I edit it again (insertin some other buggy tag) and reruning TIDY on edited document, it adds new pair of <STYLE> tags. It is not nice and I am not sure, whether it is correct HTML. * would it be possible to include support for other ISO Latin encodings? Being a Czech, I would prefer ISO Latin-2 (aka ISO 8859-2) to ISO Latin-1. Have a nice day Matej CeplReceived on Monday, 12 April 1999 04:26:20 UTC

Napa, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/29/2014 -- ReoccuringYeastInfections is dedicated to providing information to help sufferers eliminate yeast infection disorder once and for all. Since it's an embarrassing topic, many use the Internet to get their information. Easy simple solutions are easy to choose but they are often not enough. The persistent condition can occur repeatedly even when symptoms seem to temporarily disappear.
Linda Allen is an expert in curing yeast and Candida . She explains how to treat yeast infection holistically and naturally to stop it from returning. When yeast infection or candida sufferers look for permanent relief from their doctors or online, they can be led astray. The purpose of her writing is to present the full picture from over 15 years of research.
Linda has solutions for short-term relief as well as guidelines for a return to health. Her book, "Yeast Infections No More" eliminates the confusion generated from Internet because she addresses the causes of a disorder rather than its symptoms.
Many candida suffers know that antibiotics, herbicides, pesticides and toxins in our water, food, environment led to candida overgrowth. So it's no surprise they are looking for a natural remedy for yeast infection. Among these recommendations is to take effective probiotics and commit to a yeast free or anti candida diet. These are some of many recommendations that are part of a holistic approach addressing the causes of yeast infection.
Linda explains further that when you want to know how to get rid of candida you need to understand how many imbalances may be in the body beyond yeast overgrowth. When 80% of the immune system is in the gut, a yeast infection indicates that the live cultures are not in balance to ward off toxins. Thus, many Candida sufferers can often fall prey to other disorders. The number and kind of symptoms occurring is an indication of candida that has become systemic.
The good news is that those who consulted with experts found relief. There are enough stories of successfully treating long-time Candida or yeast infections sufferers on the Internet that hope is reasonable. After suffering for years from frustration, poor health, pains and ache, the joy of relief is palpable in such stories. An example: "I still can't believe it, I am absolutely thrilled!!"
About Linda Allen
Linda Allen's guidelines are found on the ReoccuringYeastInfections site-- how to get rid of yeast infection and Candida for good and in a natural way. She speaks of being proactive rather than reactive in approach when seeking lasting relief from yeast infection disorder. The best approach is based on addressing causes and not symptoms to effectively treat yeast infections.

Collusion Is Our Right
by Neville Kennard,
Australian preaching and practising capitalist and Hong Kong regular
"Co-operation", "collaboration" and "collusion"; they are similar expressions meaning slightly different but overlapping things.
Buyers may co-operate — they may assist each other to get the best price perhaps, or the best service; co-operation is seen as good, wholesome, beneficial. We co-operate with each other to our mutual advantage.
And sometimes people collaborate — they may co-operatively and collaboratively work together to gain a benefit for themselves, their customers their friends or family. To collaborate is to gain a benefit for oneself, each-other, one's customers, members.
And then we may sometimes collude. That is to say, we may choose to co-operate and collaborate with friends or partners in a project, and we may choose to exclude someone we don't like or trust. We may exclude someone from this venture, not coercively, not with any threat, but just because we choose to. We want to do without this party, and we exercise our freedom to collude to this end.
But while co-operation and collaboration are seen as OK, collusion is seen as not OK.
If force, fraud and coercion are absent, what is the problem? And how do you define "collusion" (which is supposed to be nasty, hence the scare-quotes) and co-operation and collaboration (which are supposed to be nice)?
Competitors may co-operate with their service and pricing arrangements; suppliers may collaborate with each other to get the best deal from a supplier. And they might collude together to exclude another party, for reasons of their own which are of no one else's business.
But governments, while they themselves are great colluders and behave anti-competitively all the time, try to ban and legislate against collusion.
My experience with attempts at price-fixing and cartels is that they are as strong as their weakest link and quite quickly break down, so any government intervention is redundant. The only free market monopoly that ever lasted, as far as I can ascertain, was the ALCOA monopoly on the supply of aluminium; ALCOA kept aluminium prices down to gain market share – against steel ! Their prices were so cheap that no other aluminium producers could compete, so these uncompetitive suppliers did what uncompetitive businesses so often do, they complained to government on anti-trust grounds, and eventually forced Alcoa to raise their prices. So who were the losers and who were the winners from Alcoa's cheap prices ? The customers and the consumers lost, and the uncompetitive producers won.
Collusion is a fact of life. A group of friends may collude to have a game of golf, but they choose to exclude Fred who talks too much. Is this a bad thing, an act of anti-competitive behaviour.
A group of businesses collaborate to do a bulk buy of widgets, but to exclude business X because they simply don't want to include him, they don't like him , and this may be labelled collusion.
Nature abhors a vacuum and the market abhors a monopoly. So monopolies seldom last, unless of course the market accepts a monopoly, a sole supplier, because this supplier does a good and acceptable job at an acceptable price, as in the case of Alcoa in the US in 1945, which legislation forced them to increase their prices so other [less efficient] suppliers could compete. Thus Anti-Trust is often Anti Free Market. It can help the uncompetitive and inefficient at the expense of the efficient, and it can hurt customers and consumers.
Often there are natural monopolies, as in the case of a lone petrol station in a country town, or a water-supplier in a city or a lone cinema in a suburb. There may just not be room for another such supplier. But customers can always choose to find alternative ways to satisfy their needs, or choose simply not to buy.
It could be that two petrol stations in adjoining towns agree to sell petrol at the same price, and they should be free to thus "collude". As long as other suppliers could open up in competition and there is no force fraud or coercion preventing them, then these "colluders" are free to do as they choose.
In Australia we have the Competition and Consumer Commission, headed up at this time by a Graeme Samuel; this tax-payer-funded statist organisation's mandate is: to "protect consumer rights, business rights ,and obligations, perform industry regulation and price monitoring and prevent illegal anti-competitive behaviour". An impossible and unnecessary task. In a free market this is all totally redundant; Mr Samuel and his staff could all get real jobs and make a positive contribution, instead of meddling and consuming taxes. We just need to get rid of the regulations and laws that inhibit competition.
The freedom to co-operate, collaborate and collude is a fundamental freedom, and provided there is no force, fraud or coercion, is a freedom we must protect.

A merkin is essentially a pubic wig. Merkins have a long history and have been used since the 15th century. Originally, they were used by men and women to cover up the evidence of sexually transmitted infections and parasites, such as syphilis and crabs. Male actors also sometimes wore merkins when portraying female characters, as females were forbidden from acting on stage.
Although they went out of style for a while, merkins seem to making a comeback today. Actresses, for instance, use them when trying to realistically portray characters who should have more pubic hair than themselves.
Merkins aren't just for actresses, though. Men dressing in drag and ordinary women can add a little fun in the bedroom with decorative merkins made from real or synthetic hair, feathers, or fur.

Wii U design "quite near final"
Those hoping for an improvement in Wii U's hardware design, look away; the Wii successor's looks are "quite near final."
That's according to Nintendo of America head Reggie Fils-Aime, who dropped the bit to Venturebeat recently. And that goes for both the controller and the console itself.
"In terms of the form factor of the console, it is quite near final," Fils-Aime said. "Similarly the form factor of the controller is quite near final."
And that's that.
Wii U is expected to launch next year, possibly in the spring/summer window.

"It takes a village to raise a child." African proverb
I remember when Hillary Clinton used this African proverb in 1996 at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The outcry by the conservative community was loud! Parents are the people that should lead families, not government. In their haste to condemn what was interpreted as the government imposing it's will on families, an important Biblical principle was lost. Raising kids is hard. Even if you are great parents, doing everything "right" there comes a day when your kids need more than just you to influence them. When our boys were in grade school we made the decision to move from Denver to Omaha. One of the considerations in our decision was the desire to be closer to our extended family…we wanted to widen the circle of influence to include grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins for our boys. We are fortunate to have a family that exemplifies the same values as my husband and I; we realized that influence from family members would help our kids stay connected to God as they navigated their teen years.
Our family situation may be different from yours but the concept of having an extended community of adults to help mentor and influence your kids is not only desirable but worth the effort. Developing relationships with families and adults that love God will someday prove to be invaluable.
When Moses talked to the Israelites in Deuteronomy 6 about passing on their faith, he spoke to the entire community. It was everyone's responsibility to make sure that the next generation knew to keep God as the first priority. A typical Hebrew household could consist of over eighty people with aunts, uncles, cousins…. The modern church community can and should be a place where families share beliefs and encourage one another on the spiritual journey.
In the book, "Parenting Beyond Your Capacity," authors Reggie Joiner and Carey Nieuwhof tell us that one of the greatest values of the church is its potential to provide community for children. The church should be a place where kids can show up and be safe, a place where they can have meaningful dialogue with another trusted adult, and a place where they can ask difficult questions.
So how do you build strategic relationships into the lives of your kids? 1. The first step is to develop relationships with families that mirror your beliefs. Start today by becoming a member of a Journey Group. I believe it doesn't matter whether the group consists of families with kids the same age as your family or a group that is multi-generational. The key is to be in community with people that are willing to invest in your family and likewise you will have influence on the others in the group. 2. Connect with your child's small group leader to develop a relationship. Ask if there is anything you could do to help your child engage better with the group. Express your appreciation to the leader for investing in your son or daughter. 3. Find ways for your kids to serve as they approach adolescence. Serving alongside leaders and adults helps kids to see how to "be" the church in contrast to just attending church. More can be learned by serving side by side with others than sitting in a classroom hearing about serving. 4. Search for mentors in your community. Think of adults in your relational network who could be a positive spiritual and moral voice in the life of your son or daughter and begin a conversation with them about a mentoring relationship with your child.
Remember we have greater influence together than we do separately. Begin today to consider how you can build strategic relationships in the lives of your kids.

Hunter Loans – what you have to know
We are a costly approach to get. Never take out a payday advance unless you're 100% sure you can reimburse it on time and in full – generally the expenses can soon winding crazy. In case you're considering getting one, this is what you have to know.

Over a year, the normal yearly rate financing cost of charge (APR) could be up to 1,500% contrasted with 18% for a run of the mill Mastercard.
Before consenting to an advance, numerous payday loan specialists will request that you set up a repeating installment (otherwise called a constant installment expert or CPA).
This gives them a chance to take what you owe specifically from your financial balance by means of your charge card on the reimbursement date.
This can be advantageous, however it is unsafe. It won't not abandon you enough cash in your record for other bill installments, for example, home loan or lease or other fundamental spending, for example, warming or nourishment. What's more, it could take you over your overdraft restrict, prompting bank charges.
On the off chance that you don't feel a CPA will abandon you in enough control, inquire as to whether you can in different ways.
You can wipe out a CPA whenever - in spite of the fact that you will in any case owe the obligation so need to reimburse in another way.

Bill Michelon is a savvy internet marketer and business consultant. He has an impressive track record helping business owners and entrepreneurs learn how to leverage the internet to market their personal brand name and reach customers.
Lately, he's taken an interest to cryptocurrency trading and investing. With so much to offer, cryptocurrencies are positioned to disrupt the traditional banking system in the near future. We had a chance to sit down with Bill recently. Here are some of his fascinating thoughts on the cryptocurrency and what it has to offer.
What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies are alternatives to national currencies that are owned by central banks. Unlike traditional currencies, such as dollars, Euros and the Yuan, cryptocurrencies are generated using specialized encrypted programs. Those who purchase a cryptocurrency store their cash online and can use it to purchase goods and services from anyone who accepts the cryptocurrency in question.
How did you get involved with cryptocurrencies?
I have always believed that it's important to never get sucked into complacency. I have always had a hunger to learn new things and grow in new ways. That is why I remain a highly successful internet businessman in spite of the fact that there are many people entering the space every day.
I truly believe that creativity and learning should not be limited to a single field. Cryptocurrencies have fascinated me for some time and I started learning all I can about them. The more I learn, the more I am amazed by their benefits and the potential solutions they can provide.
What kind of solutions do you see coins providing?
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are already providing a number of solutions to longstanding problems. Bitcoin is particularly effective in helping individuals transfer money from one country to another in a timely yet secure manner. Bitcoin transfers, unlike bank transfer and Money Orders, don't require those transferring money to pay a fee. What is more, you can transfer money via Bitcoin at any time of the day or night, 365 days a year. The markets never close. It's a 24/7 system controlled from person to person – or P2P as we say.
Cryptocurrencies also protect buyers from having their financial information misused by hackers or unethical businesses. All financial information is private, which means that hackers cannot access your personal data. This protects not only consumers, but also businesses that may be vulnerable to a cyberattack.
Nothing is foolproof however. There are scammers out there that will try and phish for your information. The same tricks still hold true so you have to keep your wits about you as always.
Will cryptocurrencies change traditional banking?
Cryptocurrencies are already changing traditional banking and will continue to do so in even more drastic ways in the near future. Banks are controlled by numerous legal regulations in any given country; cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are not controlled by anyone. People who appreciate privacy and financial freedom will continue to flee the banking system in favor of an anonymous, yet highly effective, currency system.
Banks are still dominant in fields such as providing loans and offering credit; however, it is important to note that cryptocurrency markets are just getting started. I predict that cryptocurrencies will, in the future, offer new, innovative services that would be in direct competition with those provided by the banking system.
What's the best way to learn about the crypto market?
I would suggest starting with a single crypto currency and learning all you can about it. Bitcoin is perhaps the best one to start with as it is the most common crypto currency in the world today.
How you learn about a crypto currency is up to you. Some people absorb information best from books, others from podcasts and other audio files and still others from video. Choose a learning medium that works best for you and go with it.
Should people start investing in cryptocurrencies? If so, what's the best way to start?
Investing in crypto currencies can be extremely profitable. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have risen in value since the beginning of the year. However, I would caution investors to be cautious as the crypto currency market has not totally stabilized. Investing in cryptocurrencies is a great idea but don't put all your eggs in one basket.
I recommend that first time buyers buy the cryptocurrency of their choice using either Coinbase or Gemini. Both services are easy to use, offer various payment options and allow you to buy as much or as little of any currency as you would like. There is a small fee involved in the purchase but the fast, effective, secure service is well worth the small extra cost.

Running is always a matter of balance.
Am I training to much?
Am I training too little?
Am I running too fast?
Am I running too slow?
Questions multiply, and become more serious, however, when one is injured.
Since my arthroscopic knee surgery of last Tuesday, I have walked each day, and have faithfully performed the recommended leg strengthening and flexibility exercises.
Yesterday, under gorgeous, cloudless skies, I walked 1.25 miles in the morning, and another half mile with my dogs in the afternoon. In the evening I did my leg exercises.
Today, it was time for my follow-up appointment with my orthopedic surgeon, who also happens to be a competitive cyclist.
After the stitches were removed from my knee, we reviewed the pictures of my arthroscopic surgery and I was pleased to learn that, other than the torn meniscus, which was removed, my knee is otherwise healthy.
Then it was time to have my important questions answered.
If you ever have to choose a surgeon, (and I hope you don't) reject any who appear smug, condescending, or dismissive. (I did) Rather, choose a professional who understands your needs as a runner, and who is willing to listen and answer all your questions thoroughly. I sought a second opinion, and I am thoroughly pleased with my choice of Doctor John Martin, from Reading, Pennsylvania.
Walking, a stationary bike, some light weightlifting with my leg, as well as the elliptical, are all good for now. However, my doctor informed me that I need to space things out. For example, if I go for a walk, I need to give the leg a couple hours of rest before I begin a session on the elliptical. Of course, ice and elevation are always necessary.
All that is ok...for now.
The big question then was, "When?"
We decided that the best course for full rehabilitation was four weeks from the surgery.
At that time, I need to go to a track or a trail (soft surfaces) and begin with a half mile of running, increasing a little each day, but running every other day for a while.
Slow, gradual integration into running is the key.
And, I'm good with that.
My goal is to run again, with no pain, and to remain healthy.
And now, I have only three weeks yet to wait.

Oracle Takes Aim at Sun CompetitorsPrint
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
Dubbed the Exadata Database Machine Version 2, the new server package is a Sun server-and-storage combination loaded with lots of flash memory to run Oracle 11g Release 2 -- the first flash-enabled database, according to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
Oracle and its soon-to-be-acquired partner, Sun Microsystems, made their first joint product announcement since the April 20 merger announcement on Sept. 15 when they unveiled a souped-up, NAND flash-based database server designed for both enterprise-level data warehousing and extreme-performance online transaction processing.
As the trend has been playing out for the last two years, it's all about solid-state data center hardware moving to the fore.
Oracle founder and CEO Larry Ellison and Sun Executive Vice President John Fowler spoke for their companies in the press/analyst briefing, which was produced as a Webcast.
