Well it's June 2016 already and we are fast approaching the half way point in the year , so I thought I would add up all my monthly miles so far and see how I am doing against my yearly target of 4000 miles .
At the end of May 2016 I have recorded a total of 1717 miles which gives me a monthly average of 343 miles with an all time high of 551 recorded in the month of May 2016 . All these miles have been done on steel framed bikes without a touch of alloy or carbon in sight , some have been done on a single speed bike whilst others have been done on a bike equipped with a 4 speed sturmey archer rear hub and the remainder have been done on various multi speed bikes .
Most of these miles have been completed on early morning rides either on a Saturday or Sunday whilst the vast majority of people are still tucked up in bed asleep . On average about 35 miles per week are covered going back and forwards to work via the local cycle paths . Most of my leisure rides are around the 30 mile length as I try not be out for more than 2 hours at a time so as not to eat in to family time .
I am trying to build up to a 50 mile sunrise or sunset ride which is obviously going to take longer than my normal 2 hour riding time , I have almost finalised my route for this ride, I just have a couple of small changes and trials to do first . Once this route is finalised I will do a test ride to make sure it's enjoyable and has the right feel to it .
From memory the following bikes have been used to cover these miles , mid 90's Marin Bear Valley , 1950'S Raleigh Roadster , 1984 Wester Ross , 90's Ian May , 60's Harry Quinn , 90's Dawes Galaxy Tour and a Lee Cooper that is only a couple of years old . So as you can see a real mixture of bikes but all steel framed . In the nest week or two a 80's Peugoet 531 Super Competition will start doing some test miles along with a tidy Tony Butterworth road bike as I try to ensure all of my bikes get used rather than just being garage queens.
During some of these rides the following Gearbest products have been used

Personalized T-Shirts
Special events
With a little creative thinking, the personalized t-shirts are a practical choice for fundraiser and corporate events. The t-shirt can be used in several different ways. For instance, it can be used as a raffle prize, sold at the event, or part of the entry fee.
Any design for the t-shirt should be tailored to the specific event or occasion. It is useful to include information like the time and date to help advertise the occasion in advance. Also, the stylish and appealing design means there is a greater chance of the t-shirt still being worn by attendees after the event.
Personal style statement
If you are tired of wearing the same outdated clothes, you can look at creating your own personal style statement. For those with the creative or artistic skills, creating a unique t-shirt design with funky patterns, funny images, or inspired slogans or quotes shouldn't be that difficult. There are plenty of opportunities to create the personal clothing line and style with the preferred colors and designs.
Support social causes
The personalized t-shirts are a great way to support a wide range of social causes. They give a perfect option to show your support for different charities, the environment, or similar causes. A basic design should be easy to complete for most. This type of t-shirt can simply include an image or slogan that directly relates to the cause.
Cheap and affordable
Lastly, this item of clothing is relatively inexpensive and gives a great base for adding in the desired design. Also, the cost of having a design printed onto the t-shirt is quite affordable. A wholesale purchase of plain t-shirts is certain to be the most cost-effective option.

David McDonald is the president of OSI Group. This is a private company of meat processors based in Illinois. They have a global presence. Quality is very important when you work with customers and food processors all over the world. It is essential to ensure every stage of production is sustainable and has good oversight.
OSI Group has been recognized with top awards for good safety and environmental standards at its facilities.
David McDonald emphasizes that it's not just about production at OSI Group. It's also about product development. To that end, the company partnered with Impossible Foods to quadruple production on the Impossible Burger by the close of 2019. Many people today are interested in incorporating more plant-based foods into their diets even if they don't want to go fully vegetarian or vegan. Impossible Foods occupies a valuable sector in the sustainable food market. More information about David McDonald at about.me
The National Provisioner interviewed David McDonald about his unique perspective on the company's success in China. The food-processing company has been in China for over 20 years. According to David McDonald, the catalyst for that success is becoming local. In order to be successful globally, a multinational company must be successful on the ground in each region. They need to bring solutions to local problems and form long-term partnerships. That includes understanding the local business culture, too. A company has to be willing to put in the time and effort to build trust and build relationships.
Understandably, people will want to do business with people they trust. Mr. McDonald said that he has spent "weeks on end" building these personal relationships and putting in that face time.
The company is the primary meat supplier for several western fast food chains in China, including Subway and Starbucks. OSI China was also the primary meat supplier during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
In the National Provisioner interview, Mr. McDonald reiterated the company's commitment to its principals, including food safety and customer quality assurance. Mr. McDonald has been at the company for a long time and has valuable insight into how it has built and maintained its success over the years. See more: https://www.forbes.com/companies/osi-group/

Abstract: The rainfall event is the main reason
for very heavy flooding. This occurs because of the urbanization in the cities.
the urbanization causes the natural unbalance between effective drainage
capacity and generated urban runoff.(Kong, Ban, Yin, James, & Dronova, 2017)
To stop this unbalance, we must have a proper drainage system. the drainage
system is disturbed due to solid waste deposited in the channels.so we must
maintain proper drainage channel to move the runoff
very effectively. We must consider hydrologic impact assessment to design the
storage and urban drainage system. When we model the drainage, a system using SWMM (Storm Water Management
Modelling) software input the pre-and post-hydrological model to analyze the existing drainage system. Then we
must consider flooding issues and sewage water mixed with rainwater and other water-related issues to come up with the new design. The drainage system I design should consider
the groundwater protection because there are a lot of
species inside the ground.(Nadeesha Chandraseana, Wan Yusof, Ul Mustafa, Mustaffa, & Umar, 2016)
Keywords: Heavy flooding; urbanization; solid
waste; runoff; ground water
Flooding is the
natural disaster. These disasters we can't control by our hands. We can control
only by protecting the nature. This flooding disaster causes severe damages to
people as well as properties. This disproportionate impact in densely populated
cities may affect flooding heavily. This occurs normally in the downstream
areas where people are living in informal settlements. For them it is
frequently occurred. When we consider the affected people are mostly the low-income
people in Colombo city. The victim of these natural hazards is mainly affected
by without pre-warning is given by the officials.
The main goal
of this research
Give a good drainage system to the critical area in
Colombo city.
Modify the land profile for efficiency of the
surface run off.
In Colombo city
is becoming very sensitive areas because of high level organizations are
established in this area. So, the urbanization is the most commonly occurred in
this area. These also leads to flooding. We can call this as increases of
impervious areas causing these issues. When we analyse the real scenario of the
Colombo city higher peak flow and shorter time to peak is the main factor affects
the flooding. The intensity of precipitation also increases due to various
reasons like climatic changes. That also causes high run off in the downstream
To overcome
this issued we have to have a proper drainage infrastructure should be
developed. We must model a drainage system in SWMM for the pre-and post-conditions.
Then only we can come up with every difficulty in the existing drainage system.
As all know this is fully computerized model we can model different types of
model find the final effective drainage model.
Not only
modelling drainage system leads to stop the flooding. We must maintain the
properly otherwise it will not continue functioning. People also put their
solid waste in near the open space this also leads to block the drainage.it
reduces drainage capacity. So, people also think about this as well. That's for
their own benefits.
When we
consider the drainage is one of the least concentration factor in urban
development cycle. This tends to decrease the efficiency and workability. Main
problem in srilanka is very low finance allocation for the drainage infra
Consider all
these effects we have to design a effective drainage to consider all the safety
issues of the people.
Study area
We have considered
the critical area which is sensitive area in Colombo. Here the area we consider
is Kelaniya. Which is consisting of 450 hec area. This consist of mixture of
residential areas, roads, marshy areas. The Kalani area is 1.50 m above the
mean sea level. this existing drainage system is constructed in 1910.
1 General
Outline of the study area
We must continue our further study of flood management
based on the topographical map in Kelaniya area. then only we can clearly
identify the land profile. After that we can identify which land area should be
cut or fill depend on their present condition to make the runoff efficiently.
The main reason is unplanned urbanization in the
downstream area which is heavily affected the flooding. the solid waste
management should well organize otherwise it will also block the drainage
channels. We have to give the solution for the drainage system in the sensitive
Urban drainage
Natural hydrological cycle should be well organized
otherwise it will also leads to flooding. normally hydrological cycle starts
with precipitation. It is fully developed by rainfalls. It also creates
overland flow. As well as ground recharge
done by infiltration. there is an initial loss governed by evaporation.
This cycle can be implement very clearly by the below diagram.
Imperviousness of the ground also affect the flooding
in the considerable amount.so we can see the relationship between
Imperviousness ? runoffvolume
Imperviousness ? 1/Infilt. Volume
Introduction about computer modelling in storm water
management Model(SWMM)
SWMM software is commonly used hydraulic software for
designing planning analyzing used in srilanka. SWMM software can design a pre-model
using the data of existing drainage system get from CMC and run in this
software and find out the problem in this current system. Then we can get the
idea of the land profile and existing runoff patterns and design a post model
in SWMM software this leads to help us to find a effective and economical way.
From this software we can analyze for different
scenario. This software basically models with quantity and quality of runoff
made within each catchment before modeling in SWMM software we must identify
the sub catchment area which can causes the heavy runoff in our segment.
We can analyze and come up with different
implementation depend on our anylysis
changing rainfall due to the climatic changes and man-made effects to the
in the surface run off
of the rainfall in to unsaturated soils.
A symmetrical form of current urban structure
affects the urban drainage cycle. In present condition urban areas are without
any prior control people are making administrative, industrial and residential
areas. They are not considering the formal zoning plans over the cityscape. The
negative effect of urban drainage cycle is disposing the solid wastes in the
critical sensitive areas. Likewise, population agglomeration affects the
flooding plan.
Sample data obtain from Colombo municipal council to
obtain drainage capacity needed for the area.
rainfall November 2013 =375mm/h
Area of
Colombo Municipal Council = 37 000 m2 Runoff coefficient for urban area = 0.6
volume = rainfall X Area X Runoff coefficient
Runoff volume = 8,325,000 m3
This would
amount to a volume of 8,325,000 m3 from a 375 mm of rainfall.
capacity calculation;
length of drainage area of CMC is 350,000 m. The drainage section is
rectangular and the dimensions varying from 1m-0.6m. Average width and depth of micro drain canal
is about 1m.
Drainage capacity = length X width X depth
= 350x 103 m x 1 m x 1 m =
350, 000 m3
capacity: Runoff volume = 0.0420
= 4%

House prices hit new peak as supply tightens in South
Many popular locations are suffering from for sale sign "black spots" due to properties being snapped up, says Rightmove
Monopoly houses on Old Kent Road and Mayfair
Prices are up by 2.6pc on a previous record of £255,962 set only last month, according to the website's records, which go back to 2002 Photo: Justin Sutcliffe
House sellers' asking prices have lifted to record highs for two months in a row amid a "ridiculously tight" supply of homes for buyers to choose from in many areas of the South, a property website has reported.
New seller asking prices hit a new peak of £262,594 in April across England and Wales, which is 7.3pc higher than a year ago, marking the fastest annual rate of increase seen since October 2007, Rightmove said.
Prices are up by 2.6pc on a previous record of £255,962 set only last month, according to the website's records, which go back to 2002.
Asking prices hit new records in April of around £272,321 in the South West, £335,142 in the South East, £572,348 in London and £236,659 in East Anglia, as many popular locations are suffering from for sale sign "black spots" due to properties being snapped up, Rightmove said.
The website quoted one estate agent from Surrey who said 12 buyers are registering for every property that comes to market and another from Bristol who said strong competition for homes is prompting properties to be sold for 3pc above their asking price.
In London, asking prices are up by 15.9pc on a year ago typically and they have surged by 41.8pc since October 2007.
Asking prices in northern regions, where the supply of homes for sale is more evenly matched with the number of buyers coming to market, are still around 6pc below their October 2007 levels.
The North West has the furthest to climb, with asking prices standing at around 8.8pc below what they were in October 2007, at £165,581 on average.
Since 2007, London sellers have typically hiked their prices by more than the cost of an average home in the North West.
Rightmove said London's new sellers are asking an "eye-watering" £168,711 more than they were six and-a-half years ago, while Northern regions are down by £10,653 over the same period and in the North West, prices are still around £16,049 adrift.
Prices are higher in every region across England and Wales than they were a year ago, with London seeing the biggest leap and the West Midlands the smallest, with a 0.8pc annual increase taking prices there to £194,175 on average.
In Wales, sellers have hiked their asking prices by 0.9pc year-on year to reach £171,663 typically.
Strengthening housing market activity has fuelled concerns that property values are surging to unaffordable levels in places where the supply of homes is not enough to keep pace with the growth in demand.
Last week, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said there is a "desperate need" to address the lack of homes on the market, warning that house prices will continue surging by around 6pc annually for the next five years unless more is done.
Mortgage support schemes such as Help to Buy and improving consumer confidence have prompted more buyers to flood into the market in recent months, while London is continuing to attract strong interest from overseas buyers.
Miles Shipside, director of Rightmove, said that a "ripple effect" stemming from the "boom" in the London market means that southern regions are now starting to see stronger uplifts as would-be buyers broaden their search.
He said: "Supply in much of the South is ridiculously tight, with 'for sale' board black spots in many popular locations within easy commuting distance of London.
"There are vicious circles where there is so little property for sale that few local home owners are willing to come to market to trade up, exacerbating the shortages and boosting sellers' pricing power.
"While there are some hot spots emerging in the North, the momentum is not nearly as fast-paced and the better match between supply and demand means that the market is running at more sustainable levels."
Rightmove quoted estate agents' who told how the market is continuing to hot up.
Speaking about the London market, Andrew Weir, of Foxtons, said: "Last month alone we saw an increase of 20pc of new buyers registering with Foxtons compared to the same time last year and many prime London properties are attracting multiple offers and selling over the asking price.
"Because of this, buyers who had once focused upon properties in one particular area are more and more likely to have to expand their search."
Douglas Sleaper of Townends in Surrey said 12 buyers are registering for every new property that comes to market.
He said: "The severe shortage of new stock is driving prices up, in hotspots like Guildford."
James Butler, of Woods Estate Agents in north Bristol, said properties there have been selling for up to 3% over the asking price, due to the "big imbalance" between supply and demand.
In a reflection of the calmer northern market, Andrew Regan - of Regan and Hallworths in Wigan - said there is currently a "nice balance of supply and demand for stock".
Mr Regan said: "The market buoyancy has led to some sellers thinking they can list their property for more than its value, but we have been advising people to be realistic in order to help them get the best deal."

December 24, 1833
State of Tennessee )
Monroe County )
Personally appeared before David Russell, Esq., one of the Justices of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, for said County of Monroe, John Fergus, aged 81 years, who being duly sworn deposeth and saith as follows, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That he was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 1st 1752. He has in his possession a record of his age, taken from his fathers family records and none other. He was living in what was then called "New Acquisition" now York District, South Carolina, when called into service; and served so well as a memory much impaired by agreeables him to state, as follows. He volunteered in every case, and in no instance, as he thinks, rec'd a discharge in writing; but those with whom he served were merely discharged verbally, as their time expired.
In December, he thinks of 1775, he volunteered as a private of Infantry, in said "New Acquisition District," under Capt. John Anderson, who was under, he thinks, Genl. Richardson, to go against the tories in 96 District So. Ca. They marched on towards the Congaree, and in 96 came upon a Camp of Tories, and took them prisoners. What the Genl. did with the tories he cannot tell. Some sort of capitulation, he thinks, was made. Applicant with the company of said Anderson returned home having been engaged at least six weeks. Sometime afterwards, he cannot say how long; but a few weeks before Genl. Ash was defeated at brier creek in 1779, he volunteered for 3 months in the Cavalry against British and tories under Capt. Wm. Byars and Major Ross. Two or three days after they started Major Ross became dissatisfied with the wagonmaster, on account of his intemperance, and appointed applicant in this stead. 24 wagons with provisions and one with ammunition were put under his care.

5 days ago I shared a post on how I had lost much of the self-respect that I had for myself, especially in regards to my physical health. I had begun a 6-month long journey that I was committed to see through to the end.
It's been over a week now since I started (5/31) this new program and I can't believe what I've been able to accomplish in just the last week. For starters…
- I haven't consumed a single carbohydrate or starch product.
- I have reduced my sugar consumption to record low-levels. No fruits (natural sugars) and just a few slices of dark (80%) chocolate.
- I have exercised every single day for a week straight. As I shared in my post, my family is all-in on this process as well. As a result, we got a family membership to our local YMCA. And when I mean "exercise" I mean walking briskly for 60 minutes. With my new diet this is all I need.
- I cut out (heavy) cream and sugar with my coffee immediately. I drink tea in the morning.
And a few other things.
The secret to this is that there is no secret, just a willingness and legit motive to become a better version of myself, for myself and for my family. In addition, I think there's something very important about going at it with a very all-in attitude, cutting things off "cold-turkey" as they say, and just going for it.
But I can't forget that the support of my family and my friends has been very important as well as having a health coach counsel me through it. I coach others and I know the power and importance of coaching but I've never had my own health coach – go figure.
My body reacted a bit violently the first few days as it asked me what the hell was going on and why it hadn't seen a pretzel or potato chip or french fry recently (and where are the sugars!?!).
I cannot say that I'm feeling "better" or that I have more energy than I did a week ago and I'm not entirely sure if I'm seeing any physical results. That's not the point. The real change has been in my diet (and my family's diet) which is significant and will last us a lifetime if we can develop some muscle memory around it as well as a psychological change that has me thinking much more positively about myself when I look in the mirror.
I no longer despise physical self, which is a great start if you ask me. I just see a serious work in progress and I'm gaining more and more confidence every day. One step (or celery stick) at a time.

Cazals return to the USA this March -Release critically acclaimed debut album "What of Our Future" out March 3rd (The:Hours).
Tuesday March 3rd – Pianos 8.30PM – New York, NY
Friday March 6th – 10PM – The Studio, New York, NY
Tuesday March 10th – 10PM – Cinespace, Los Angeles, CA
Life Is Boring – Crookers Remix
Cazals are set to return to the US this spring to showcase their killer live set in New York & LA as well as to celebrate the release of the debut, before returning back to the UK to work on their sophomore release. The first non-electronic group to sign with label du jour Kitsune, ran by Daft Punk former manager Gildas Loaec who promptly signed the band after hearing their tremendously exciting indie ode to teenage rebellion "Poor Innocent Boys". After the single was added to the infamous Kitsune Maison collection in Europe, the bands name and buzz soon began to flourish, prompting them to record their spectacular pop debut masterpiece "What of Our Future" out March 3rd (The Hours).
"Wrapped in bright guitars and slick synths, every track boasts an arresting touch" – SPIN
"The London five-piece balances retro-pop melodies reminiscent of XTC with DJ-minded fist-pump breakaways and a gritty garage edge. " – XLR8R
Cazals signed to The:Hours/Kitsune in 2009 and are thrilled to be part of two very unique and hands on indie labels (The:Hours also recently signed UK favorites Elbow in France), able to stay true to their DIY ethics and maintain control in all aspects of their creative output, it's clear this band refuse to slow down. Their debut album 'What Of Our Future' — produced by the bands bass player Martin Dubka (who's also currently producing the upcoming Ali Love debut) — opens with the anthemic 'New Boy In Town' – the perfect antidote to endless, faceless guitar bands. Before unfolding with 'To Cut A Long Story Short' and the strutting guitars of their last single smash 'Somebody, Somewhere', a massive hit with a huge pogo-inducing chorus that had SPIN comparing the band to elvis costello, prompting any mere mortal to "strut off shamelessly into a skinny-tie karaoke chorus". Kanye West also recently gave his seal of approval in the form of a blog not to long ago — to their most current "Life Is Boring" a stellar single, accompanied with a limited edition LIFE IS BORING T-shirt — designed by the one and only graffiti artist, illustrator, night life entrepreneur (who also co owns Beatrice Inn with Paul Sevigny and is the proud hubby of Ed Banger Queen Uffie) Andre Saraiva
The centre piece of the album sees the band at their most experimental with 'Comfortable Silence' a beautifully weird and sonic track that Phil Spector in his pomp would have been proud of. Along with the brilliant French pop perfections of 'We're Just The Same' and the razor sharp 'Both Sides'.
Hailing from the four corners of England, Cazals have built their reputation from the ground up and are now more than ready to take centre stage. Cazals are here, bringing their own brand of 'guitar-dance-pop' with them … so be prepared for a new set of heroes.
Its clear to see these lads have a lot going for them and 2009 is destined to be there year – the stars have aligned and the band are heading stateside -be sure to catch them at one of their gigs / in store appearances then be sure to run out and buy the album when it drops here in the USA on March 3rd (The:Hours/Fontana).
Cazals – Life Is Boring video
A phrase such as the hilariously dismissive and ironic "Life Is Boring" slogan, couldn't possibly sum up any better a collective attitude and notion that the hipster elite so blatantly possess — embracing that je ne sais quoi… a New York-Paris-London rock-n-roll common-denominator that's so prevalent in the world of indie rock — not to mention the swagger, of course, that all three have constantly maintained. This T is the epitome of anything-but-boring.

November 4, 2013 --
The research project stems from one of the last steps of Quebec's province-wide deployment of PACS -- for hospitals that had not already adopted the technology -- as well as three diagnostic imaging repositories. The three imaging repositories receive images from all hospitals in the jurisdiction with an overall volume of about 10 million studies a year, said presenter Alain Gauvin of McGill University Health Centre in Montreal.
All of these imaging studies are indexed in an XDS registry using the IHE XDS-I.b. profile.
"Two important components of our project were to make these studies seen and retrievable by users of PACS located within hospitals, so that they can discover and retrieve prior studies to facilitate the reading of a current study, which we call the 'prefetch' use case," Gauvin said. "Another use case was to allow clinical users of local PACS -- for instance, surgeons seeing a patient from another hospital -- to retrieve priors from other hospitals in order to help with the clinical management of the patient, and avoid repeating local exams already carried out elsewhere (the ad hoc retrieval use case)."
Many requirements must be considered, however, when "ingesting" outside studies to support these use cases, he said. Gauvin will discuss them in detail during his Wednesday afternoon presentation.
"Using XDS-I to manage the retrieval of a large number of foreign studies of various origins presents many challenges that are not necessarily described in the XDS-I IHE profile," he said. "This paper demonstrates that it is possible to tackle most of them in order to achieve a satisfying level of interoperability."

Instead, I ended up cramming said post into a hasty, two-paragraph skeleton of a cohesive thought. It's not my fault: I have only so much time and space available to me.

The all-new Aston Martin Vantage GTE will make its first competitive appearance on the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe this weekend (16-17 June). The team has entered two new Vantage GTEs in the 2018 Le Mans 24 Hours.
Aston Martin Vantage GTEs are based on the stunning Aston Martin Vantage road car, they are even powered by the same 4.0-litre, V8 turbo-charged engine optimized by AMR. They are part of a 17-strong GTE Pro line-up that represents the most competitive field ever assembled for the class. Following an extensive development program that covered 35000 km over the winter, the team is now ready to give the car its toughest examination yet in the most famous race of all. This in spite of Sørensen's accident at the Le Mans test day, which required the team to build up a brand new chassis in a tight time-frame.
The new Vantage GTE replaces the highly-decorated naturally-aspirated V8 Vantage GTE, but that doesn't mean the old car's hunt for Le Mans glory is over; two naturally-aspirated Vantage GTEs will compete in this year's event. The #98 car, driven by Aston Martin Racing's reigning GTE Am champions Paul Dalla Lana (CAN), Mathias Lauda (AUS) and Pedro Lamy (PRT), will seek to add a Le Mans class victory to its extraordinary success tally, which continued with another GTE Am win in the opening round of the FIA World Endurance Championship at Spa last month. The second V8 Vantage GTE meanwhile, will be campaigned by Aston Martin's partner team TF Sport, driven by Charlie Eastwood (GBR), Euan Hankey (GBR) and Salih Yoluc (TUR).
The #95 turbo-charged Vantage GTE will feature Marco Sørensen (DNK), Nicki Thiim (DNK), and Darren Turner (GBR). The other turbo-charged Vantage GTE, #97 will be driven by Alex Lynn (GBR), Maxime Martin (BEL), and Jonathan Adam (GBR). Both cars will be piloted by drivers who have the pace and performance to deliver fantastic results.

About the Armchair CriticPosted by Lee i.
I am a reader. I read everything I could lay my hands on. There is no one genre that I like but I find that I am predisposed towards books where the authors create entire new worlds. Thus, I love J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, Jean Auel's Earth's Children Series, and yes, I will have to admit, Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books.
I am a TV addict. It stemmed from my childhood being hooked with Flordeluna and Sesame Street. I think television is the greatest home appliance ever invented. I was a couch potato then. I am still a couch potato now. Although I think I've grown roots.
I am a movie fan. I used to be bothered by sticky floors and chattering patrons inside cinemas. Now that movie theaters are cleaner, I am bothered by mobile phones and chattering patrons who give their seatmates blow by blow accounts of what's happening on-screen.
I am a foodie. I can't say that I am an adventurous eater but I will try anything once. I love to eat and I know what I like. So many times you will see me going back to the same restaurant over and over again. I want to taste everything that my budget allows. You will find reviews of expensive as well as hole in the wall places here.
I am a consumer. There is always one product that I will try and keep using. And there are some things that I will never even write about.

Intro Gcloud Multiple Projects
For most people looking for cloud Storage, the choices come down to Dropbox, Google Drive or even OneDrive. While those services have merits, in regards to privacy, not one of them really measures up to the subject of the review: pCloud. Gcloud Multiple Projects
We have been riding the pCloud Bandwagon here in Cloudwards.net for decades and even use it internally for managing site videos. Part of the reason for that is that pCloud supports video storage. The reasons are link features such as passwords and expiry dates in addition to the capacity to generate upload hyperlinks.
On top of this, pCloud Crypto Allows you to set up , encrypted connections that are end-to-end that are private, a safety protector that none of the three sins of cloud storage supply. Stash nobody, and a folder at a Crypto folder but you will have access to the decryption keys.
When it comes to Security, features that are much better may be provided by Tresorit but pCloud offers an enticing edge over Tresorit and cloud storage solutions, which is value. An eye-popping offer of 2TB of cloud storage for $8 per month provides a degree of value matched only by Sync.com.
Within the course of this pCloud Review, we'll highlight its advantages in detail, demonstrating pCloud deserves notice among the greatest storage providers. If you would rather do your research, you are able to grab a 2GB of pCloud storage.
Click here to subscribe to pCloud today!
PCloud offers file storage at a Remote data centre. Known as cloud storage, this lets you clear space on your computer by expanding your hard drive capability into virtual space. You can store any sort of file you want in this space, from Word files to spreadsheets. There are no file size limitations. Gcloud Multiple Projects
Remote document hosting is only one Feature of cloud storage. Two other large ones are file synchronization and file sharing.
File sync is a mechanism for Automatically distributing files linked to pCloud. In addition to fresh documents, edits to existing files are transferred, facilitating work productivity.
Even though pCloud's sync capacities Are slightly above average, its file sharing features are matched only by Sync.com and Tresorit. Among other uses, document sharing enables collaborations and lets you show off photos and videos. Features that make pCloud recommendable for file sharing include connection passwords and upload links.
pCloud for Photos, Music and Videos
When it comes to media support, Speed is matched by Couple cloud storage services with pCloud. We rank pCloud as one of the top cloud storage suppliers for photos and videos. You can see in list view or thumbnails.
A web-based image viewer will allow You scroll through photos and make slideshows.
Files that are uploaded keep their Resolution, however when downloading images, you may choose to lower the size.
You can stream videos from the pCloud browser. Assuming your online connection is adequate, playback runs easily. As there are not any file-size limits, pCloud works nicely for storing HD videos.
For Kodi users, there is An unofficial plugin which will allow you to utilize the Kodi video player to stream pictures from pCloud. Read our cloud storage that is best .
Many cloud storage services can Play sound files, but not many allow you to create playlists. PCloud is an exception, which is why it is a fantastic alternative for music lovers.
Using the pCloud mobile app, you Can take your playlists with youout for a jog or on a road trip.
pCloud Operating System Support
To be able to sync documents, you'll Need to put in a pCloud desktop client on your own PC. Doing this will put in a sync folder and add a pCloud interface that you can use to configure settings like which folders have been synced and network bandwidth.
Clients can be found for Windows, macOS and Linux. The addition of Linux is rare among cloud storage providers and also something you won't get with Google Drive or OneDrive. If you are a Penguin fan, check out our cloud storage for Linux manual.
Smartphone accessibility can be obtained Using pCloud programs for Android and iOS. Installing a mobile app does not just let you access stored files: there is a setting to automatically upload videos and photos to the cloud taken from your cell phone. Gcloud Multiple Projects
Another pCloud advantage is that it's WebDAV compatible. With WebDAV support, you can get your pCloud storage from other third party tools that contain WebDAV. An illustration is MultCloud, a cloud-to-cloud sync tool (read our MultCloud review).
You don't necessarily Want MultCloud to move files from cloud to cloud if you utilize pCloud, since it has another trick up its sleeve, which is cloud-to-cloud backup for Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive.
Facebook and Instagram Connections can be found, too, making pCloud among the greater social-media backup choices.
pCloud Versioning and Deleted File Recovery
To protect users Document varies and file corruptions. PCloud keeps previous file versions for 15 days free of charge users and 30 days for readers. Should you need better versioning abilities, there's an option to add extended file background (EFH) to keep previous file variations to get an impressive 360 days.
Besides versioning, EVH expands Deleted-file retention to almost a year, making it a feature you'll probably want, though we wish it was included at no cost.
PCloud takes a special approach to Versioning with its"pCloud Rewind" attribute. This feature enables you to restore files in volume by means of a calendar, which makes it great for protection.
We'll take a look in PCloud security after in this review, covering features like at-rest encryption and pCloud Crypto. We'll talk support, too, also cover many attributes we've mentioned in more detail.
The software tool which pCloud has developed is small, fast to Install and supplies.

File Syncing & Sharing
Sync and Document sharing are vital To cloud storage and pCloud scores high on both counts. It's among the cloud storage choices for document sharing thanks to a nifty features which you won't often find elsewhere.
Folder and documents can be shared From the pCloud browser. You can invite other people to access folders, or create folder download or upload links. The two choices are best for sharing and collecting documents for work.
Documents can be linked to with an Option to send that link by email to contacts.
That is all standard fare. What Makes pCloud special is you could add expiration dates and passwords to connect to assist restrict access. Links can be shortened and posted to Twitter Facebook or Google +, too.
pCloud Sync Folder
Sync with pCloud requires the Desktop customer. Downloading the client will put in a pCloud sync folder . Documents added stay stored on your hard drive but get delivered into the cloud.
Any kind or size folder can be Synced with the smartphone programs for both iOS and Android, in addition to customers for macOS Windows and Linux. If there are file types you don't wish to be synced, you may create an exclusions list using the pCloud desktop customer.

pCloud Drive
Document Access, there's one huge problem with it, and that's that it requires files to be stored from the cloud and on your computer. Keeping files on your own computers means you can not make the most of the cloud to clear up space.
Most cloud to Repair this issue Storage subfolders and let you folder. This feature is called"discerning sync" Uncheck folders, and they will only be stored in the cloud. PCloud does not make the process so simple. Gcloud Multiple Projects
You unsync and can sync any Folder on your driveway, but unsyncing folders does not remove files from the hard disk, it merely severs the movement of documents going forward. While we'd like to see pCloud add an easy discerning sync feature, the support does provide a remedy to the issue of freeing up hard drive space — it's just not the solution other many of its rivals use.
This solution is pCloud Drive, a network-drive feature. By adding pCloud Drive, a new directory will be added to a file system. This directory functions similarly to other lettered drives, except that documents saved on it are just kept from the cloud and not on your hard disk.
You can read more about pCloud Drive in our cloud network drive article, which also overviews choices for establishing a similar mechanism with other cloud suppliers.
Ease of Use
Storage suppliers which have Managed to endure a challenging industry landscape dominated by mega-corporations have done by two means: occupying a market or providing a seamless user experience.
Both are true of pCloud, with a Niche built on bulletproof security, and background, browser-based and mobile tools that are designed.
It will be that desktop Client that most sets pCloud aside, partially because nearly all cloud storage services don't supply one, but since it's put.
Buttons along the top Client let you cycle involving an account overview, file sync, shared connections, pCloud Crypto, additional settings and service options. The accounts overview is helpful for quickly checking your remaining storage and benefiting from the pCloud referral program, among other things.
If you're on a different computer or Prefer a browser-based experience, use the pCloud web UI to get files. A search box helps to locate documents, while links down the left may be used to browse files, accessibility pCloud Rewind, trashed documents, stocks, download links and audio.
The Internet UI has Capabilities Streaming video, producing photo slideshows and producing music playlists for previewing documents. Despite all the features the browser program is as minimalistic streamlined as possible without completely burying.
pCloud Android and iOS Apps
Mobile programs are accessible for Android and iOS. The apps are easy to read and use and perform faithfully without draining your battery.
The pCloud mobile programs can be Share files and upload new ones. That includes automatic uploads for video shot and photographs with your smartphone.
Security & Privacy
Despite its advantages and Low-cost vouchers, the bread-and-butter of pCloud is security. This it primarily achieves with pCloud Crypto, its own zero-knowledge add-on.
Any documents added to your Crypto Folder are not decrypted and encoded client-side before you download them again. Meaning a departure from providers such as Dropbox work, encryption, which decrypts center to be able to pull metadata for indexing. Gcloud Multiple Projects
Additionally, Crypto has its very own Special password which only you know. This password is used to create your encryption key. Because pCloud does not record your Crypto password, the corporation could not decrypt your files under order.
Regardless of whether you use Crypto or not, files stored with pCloud are encrypted using AES 256-bit. The advanced encryption standard protocol is recommended from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology and generally employed by cloud providers. By many estimates, it would take centuries to crack.
Files are protected in transit Employing security. You can learn more about TLS and AES .
When you upload information to pCloud, That information is duplicated and stored across three or more unique servers. In that way if one server fails, you do not lose your documents.
Multiple versions of files are Also kept: 30 days one and generally year for file readers. This helps secure your documents from ransomware and other malware attacks that operate by encrypting or corrupting files. Remove the offending program and rollback your documents to clean duplicates, without having to pay to make it move away, and the issue is solved.
If you prefer what pCloud is Selling, you can help stop password vulnerability developing a password that is hard to brute-force crack. A cloud password manager like Dashlane can help.
The basic sync model is It is now used by storage suppliers that are simple and all cloud. Not all of those providers employ it as well as the others , though, together with uploads and even file names that are mixed-up being one of the problems encountered.
We've been utilizing pCloud long Enough to understand that it does hiccup. The infrastructure behind pCloud isn't on the degree of what you will get with Google Drive or OneDrive, that have networks, but it works well as you could hope to get a provider with one data center.
Despite the company Launched in Switzerland, that information center is U.S.-based, located in Dallas, Texas. As pCloud will probably work for North American clients than those in different areas of earth.
We analyzed pCloud's sync speed from outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Two evaluations each were performed for downloads and file uploads with a 1GB evaluation folder comprising different file types.
These evaluations were conducted over WiFi with upload and download that is 160Mbps rates. Gcloud Multiple Projects
Here are the results:
Those are results. At 30Mbps is just under five seconds. An average of seven minutes is not bad once you consider impacting variables such as encryption and system congestion.
In 160 Mbps, the fastest we can Anticipate a download is only under a minute. Our results were hardly over the threshold.
In addition to rate Outcomes that are nice To get a niche support, pCloud sync didn't impact our system resources where we could not execute different jobs. If that's an issue, pCloud has network settings which you may use to manually correct your download and upload speeds.
If you are in the market for cloud Storage that is less expensive than Dropbox and even Google Drive, pCloud plans rank among the best deals in cloud storage. The highlight is pCloud Premium Plus, a 2TB program which costs just $8 a month.
You can Find the Exact Same amount of Storage on a month-to-month payment plan for $9.99, the price of 1TB of storage with Dropbox. There is also a 500GB pCloud Premium subscription for approximately half of the price as Premium Plus.
Should you fall in love with Service, it is possible to exhibit your affection with a lifetime commitment. It comes in considerable savings, although technically, the offer is good until you croak, whichever comes first or for 99 years. Premium Plus requires a one-time fee of $350, approximately 3.5 years worth yearly payments.
You can make payments using your PayPal or credit card account. Bitcoin is accepted for those who wish to make their buy incognito.
When it comes to cloud Storage, pCloud recently altered the way. Where once you got 10GB of storage and one gig for each and every friend you called this service, you get 2GB straight and need to earn another 8GB. While not as generous as before, as a result of all its features, pCloud remains among the better deals one of the best free cloud storage. Gcloud Multiple Projects
There are just two pCloud add-ons, Crypto and extended file history, that need another subscription fee. Crypto prices $47.88 annually and EFH costs $39.
pCloud Family Plan
PCloud has recently introduced a New"family" plan, which permits you to invite as many as five members of your family to join you around pCloud and delegate them the amount of storage and discuss quota you desire. The program offers 2TB of also the same amount of link traffic and also storage in complete. Shared folders just take up storage in the folder's owner.
You receive 30 days of garbage history, Which lets you track and restore old versions.
To subscribe to the family plan You need to dish out $1400. Currently, it.
We can not call pCloud an ideal Cloud storage service. Support avenues are still an annoyance, and a native program that is note-taking would be nice improvement.
Despite the misses, We've Got no Problem confirming that pCloud is one of the very best Dropbox alternatives on the market today. As Dropbox for cash, it provides twice the amount of storage for starters. Additionally, pCloud document sharing includes extras such as link passwords and expiry dates which Dropbox costs $20 a month for by forcing a Professional subscription for you personally.
Additional pCloud features we adore Include HD-video playback, music playlists, file versioning and also a network drive choice. The coup de grace, but over mainstream cloud providers is Crypto, pCloud's handy vault that will keep your documents away from the eyes of marketers, government officials and many others.
We're fans. We Wouldn't suggest taking our word for it, however. Test pCloud out to yourself with a free 2GB account. Tell us how that goes from the comments below, and thanks for reading. Gcloud Multiple Projects

BoxTV representative say that they have partnered with companies like Sony Pictures, UTV, Shemaroo and Rajshri for content and is in discussion with 30-40 firms globally for expanding its content portfolio.
Asked if the paid model would work in India, Gajwani said though initially it would be difficult, but users would eventually move to the paid platform.
"We have a strong (content) portfolio and once people use and see the quality of service, I'm sure they would sign on. However, we see a majority of paid users coming from the UK and US now as the paid model is more established in these countries, but India should also reach there soon," he added.

IBM India's top supercomputer manufacturer
The fastest supercomputer, however, is a Wipro system installed at the Indian Space Research Organisation's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre at Thiruvananthapuram, followed by the Eka, a HP system installed at the Pune-based Computational Research Laboratories.
Supercomputers are built to crunch massive amounts of data for research in areas such as bio-informatics, climate modelling and aerospace among others.
The Indian Space Research Organisation machine, named SAGA-220 and commissioned last month, can carry out 220 trillion floating point operations per second (TFlops) as against the Eka which has a peak performance of 172.60 TFlops. The Computational Research Laboratories is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons and is involved in high-performance computing services and solutions. There is a significant jump in the number of supercomputers being added in the country though India still lags behind in this area, said Sathish S.Vadhiyar, associate professor at IISc's Supercomputer Education and Research Centre (SERC), which has been compiling the list twice a year since 2008. While only a couple of Indian systems are in the list of top 500 supercomputers globally, countries such as the US account for between 100-150 systems while China boasts of more than 50, he added. The top 16 Indian systems had been ranked based on a minimum performance criteria of 3.11 Tflops, a bar that has been raised with every compilation from SERC. The combined supercomputer performance featured on the SERC list is 308 TFlops, with Bangalore leading the list with four supercomputers followed by Chennai with three.

Google now supports five more Indian languages
Internet search engine giant Google on Tuesday announced the expansion of its translation services to include five more Indian languages – Bengali , Gujarati , Kannada , Tamil and Telugu – thus increasing its reach to a potential half a million population.
"Beginning today, you can explore the linguistic diversity of the Indian sub-continent with Google translate, which now supports five new experimental alpha languages: Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu," said Ashish Venugopal, research scientist at Google.
"In India and Bangladesh alone, more than 500 million people speak these five languages. Since 2009, we've launched a total of 11 alpha languages, bringing the current number of languages supported by Google Translate to 63," he wrote in a Google Blog.
Venugopal said one can expect translations for these new alpha languages to be less fluent and include many more untranslated words than some of the more mature languages – like Spanish or Chinese – which have much more of the web content that powers its statistical machine translation approach.
"Despite these challenges, we release alpha languages when we believe that they help people better access the multilingual web. If you notice incorrect or missing translations for any of our languages, please correct us; we enjoy learning from our mistakes and your feedback helps us graduate new languages from alpha status," the Google research scientist said.
"Since these languages each have their own unique scripts, we have enabled a transliterated input method for those of you without Indian language keyboards," he said and hoped that the launch of these new alpha languages will help one better understand the Indic (Indo-Aryan languages) web and encourage the publication of new content in Indic languages, taking Google five alpha steps closer to a web without language barriers.
Police stops Google Street View in Banglore
Police in Bangalore said they had security concerns and that Bangalore was a "highly sensitive" area.
Google launched its project to collect high definition images to give Google users 360 degree views of streets only last month in Bangalore.
Google data collection has caused concern in numerous countries.
Cameras mounted on cars and tricycles had been taking pictures in streets across Bangalore.
"We received a letter from Bangalore's commissioner of police and are reviewing it. We will not be collecting any more images for Street View until we speak to the police," a Google spokeswoman told AFP.
Police told the BBC that they had expressed concern about the project and said they asked Google to seek clearance from India's ministry of home and external affairs.
Bangalore's additional police commissioner, Sunil Kumar, said that Bangalore, home to key defence and scientific institutions such as Indian Space Research Organisation and Hindustan Aeronautics, was high on the list of terror targets.
In 2008 a series of bombs exploded around the city, killing one women and injuring several others.
But Google India's Product Head Vinay Goel told India's CNN-IBN news channel that they were "only driving on public roads and taking publicly available imagery."
Last year almost 250,000 Germans told Google to blur pictures of their homes on the Street View service and the Czech government also banned Google from taking any new photos for the service.
In the UK Google has also agreed to delete private emails and passwords mistakenly picked up from wireless networks by its Street View cars.

One of my first paper crafting lessons included the rule of thumb that ink, stamps, paper and accessories make a great card. When I'm looking at a project and ask myself that question many of you have asked "what's missing?" or "too much or not enough"; I go back to this rule. If I can check all four boxes I stop. If not I just add what will get me to that point. This is not to say that many beautiful cards can be created with only two or three of these elements, but as a go-to-safety-zone this rule works.
For this card my focal stamping uses the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Part of My Story. Card makers love to find sets that have a great variety of phrases that you can use for lots of people – this set fills this need.
For my inks and paper I stuck to one of my new favorite colors – Highland Heather. You can't go wrong creating a monochromatic card. When you make the decision to make a monochromatic card it's like you can breathe a sigh of relief that you don't need to decide "which yellow goes with that?" or "I can see a bright green or a subtle green – which should I pick?"
Sticking with a monochromatic card made choosing my accessories a breeze. I had a few choices in the gorgeous color and just decided to combine them. I love the little flower sequins (especially since they have glue dots on the back – easy peasy!) And the organdy Sale-a-Bration combo pack of ribbon also includes Highland Heather.
If you'd like to recreate the layout of this card, here are the dimensions:
- Card base – 4 1/4″ by 11″
- Middle Layer – 4″ by 5 1/4″
- Top (Paper) Layer – 3″ by 4 1/4″
- Greeting Layer – 2 3/4″ by 1 1/2″
Thanks for stopping by – leave a comment and tell me what you'd like to see in future posts.
